The Athletic are going on to greener pastures, while staying quite near home. Basically, they are moving to the suburbs rather than commute. But what color flag will the A's be bannering about upon their arrival?
It is a common theme, when a team moves for the team to then change their color scheme. Indeed, the A's have gone through quite a varriance of colors though their history, from grey to blue to red to green and gold.
Personally, I like the A's colors. It is relativly unique, and very good looking, being just the right shade of Green. There are several other blue or navy teams, and way too many red teams, with more added all the time.
But what color will the A's don in Fremont? Will they stick with Green and Gold? Will they try for a change for the sake of Jersey sales? Red? Blue? Or heaven forbid, Burnt Orange?
So I ask you at AN; what should the A's new colors be, and should they be changed at all?

Alphabetical List of Critters - Bald-faced Hornet
The Bald-faced Hornet (Dolichovespula maculata) is a type of paper wasp in the family Vespidae (subfamily Vespinae). It also goes by the names of White-faced Hornet or White-tailed Hornet. They are closely related to yellowjackets (they share the same genus), but, they do not possess any yellow coloring — their coloring is black with white markings (see photos below). Like yellowjackets, the female workers are very aggressive, especially when defending their nest, and each individual can sting repeatedly (as opposed to a honeybee worker which can only sting once).

Ester Dean - How You Love It?
Artist: Ester Dean
Featuring: Missy Elliot
Producer: Benny Blanco and Stargate
Album: TBD
Avg Rating: 2.3 ( 6 total votes )
Last featured in late December, when she earned lukewarm reader reviews for EP video single Baby Making Love, Ester Dean returns to kick off her 2013 with unreleased loosie How You Love It?. In contrast to the aforementioned joint's low-key, throwback vibe, this cut is designed for the dancefloor. Producers Benny Blanco and Stargate's hypnotic, handclap-heavy beat bangs in the back as the Interscope singer/songwriter gets familiar with a new fella, making clear that they're gonna be doing more than talking before the night's over. Industry vet Missy Elliott assists on the guest tip, bringing her usual off-the-wall energy to the closing verse. While this joint isn't part of the project, those feeling it will undoubtedly find more to their liking on Ester Dean's forthcoming EP, which has yet to receive either a title or a solid drop date. As always, fans can keep it locked for the latest.

Ms. Donna, as we called her the past eight years, was the most loving, caring, gracious, happy woman I've ever met. She cared for our three children like they were her own. We dearly miss her but are so thankful that she touched our lives and shared her love with us. Pleasanton lost an angel. Heaven gained one.

"Star Trek Into Darkness" has drawn the ire of some fans and critics for a scene in which brilliant scientist Dr. Carol Marcus (played by Alice Eve) strips down to her bra and panties – a move many have suggested unnecessarily undercuts the character's intelligence.
Damon Lindelof, the sci-fi sequel's co-writer and producer, took to Twitter this week to answer the criticism, admitting the random scene was "gratuitous."
VIEW THE PHOTOS: CinemaCon 2013: Stars Descend Upon Las Vegas
"I copped to the fact that we should have done a better job of not being gratuitous in our representation of a barely clothed actress," he Tweeted on Monday, before adding, "We also had Kirk shirtless in underpants in both movies. Do not want to make light of something that some construe as mysogenistic [sic]."
VIEW THE PHOTOS: Zachary Quinto: From Heroes To Star Trek
After many of the writer's followers responded with varying opinions, Damon again apologized.
"What I'm saying is I hear you, I take responsibility and will be more mindful in the future," he Tweeted, "Also, I need to learn how to spell 'misogynistic.'"
VIEW THE PHOTOS: Star Trek Into Darkness Premieres Around The World
The former "Lost" scribe was prompted to address the issue after discussing the scene with MTV News over the weekend.
"Why is Alice Eve in her underwear, gratuitously and unnecessarily, without any real effort made as to why in God's name she would undress in that circumstance? Well there's a very good answer for that," he told MTV. "But I'm not telling you what it is. Because… uh… MYSTERY?"

Well, the parts book sure shows them to look different, but it's interesting to see they have the same part number.
It is common sense to take a method and try it. If it fails, admit it frankly and try another. But above all, try something.

From an IH spec sheet from the four bar grill era (early 1960's).
Wheelbase on a Cub Lo-Boy is 62 inches. On a Cub it is 69.3 inches.
Length 97" vs 99"
Height to top of steering wheel 55.3" vs 62.8"
Minimum ground clearance under front axle 13.7" vs 20.4"
Minimum ground clearance under rear axle 17.9" vs 23.8"
Turning radius without brakes 9.6' vs 9.3' and with braking 7.6' vs 8.7' (Don't understand that one)
Weight distribution with operator; Front 520 vs 620, Rear 1320 vs 1220, Total 1840 for both

Power corrupts; absolute power corrupts absolutely byJohn Emerich Edward Dalberg
Re: trivia question
All versions of the parts catalog I have looked at show the left and right fenders with the same part number. The early Cubs came with identical left and right fenders. The part number was 35961R11. Catalog TC-37D Rev 1(12/54) stilll uses the original drawing with a part number of 35961R12. The change to R12 indicates some minor change, like maybe to the reinforcement on the lower edge.
Catalog TC-37E (1/56) uses a different drawing and part number 362901R91. Again the same part number for left and right. The drawing is A-40672. It shows the reinforcement plate on the left and the right seems to suggest a shorter front end. The final catalog, TC-37F Rev 6(8/79), has a minor revision of the drawing to A-40672A. The drawing differs in that 3 holes were added to each fender for the warning light bracket. The part number is 362901R92. Again this indicates some minor change from 1956, probably the light bracket holes.
From observation, is is pretty clear that IH eventually made different right and left fenders. After 185,000 or so, they added the helper spring reinforcement to the left fender. I have never seen one of them on a right fender. Possibly, they chose to simplify replacement parts handling by only supplying left fenders. Timewise, the change to 362901R91 matches up close to the helper spring reinforcement. Likewise, they could have clipped the front of the right fender on late LoBoys but stuck with only left fender for replacements. The likelihood of anyone ordering a replacement right fender on a population of about 2,000 tractors is pretty small. It may have never happened. So it seems possible there was a clipped fender that was never reflected in the parts catalog. However, the parts catalog doesn't show any part number to go with a clipped fender.
The other possibility, of course is some modification after the fact. A sample of 3 tractors could track back to a single dealer, or even single customer. A branch could have modified them for a contract sale. Didn't Dale Saw have one of the very last offset LoBoys? What did the right fender on it look like?
Re: trivia question
Here is the next to last IH Lowboy produced.
Re: trivia question
Thanks. Great reference point.
Re: trivia question
If all of them had the cut off fender, I would only hate them 1/2 as bad. I will not own another unless it falls into my lap.
Too hard to get on, too hard to bend over to work on.

I guess it may have been an option?

Re: trivia question
Yep Dale, it's obvious that the people that say a Lo Boy is easier to get on and off have either never gotten on or off of one or have a Lo Boy and never been on a Cub! A real challenge is one with a 1000 loader, pretty much need a pan seat and scramble up over the back to get on it. In the summer I get shorts hung up on the FH depth adjuster and in the winter I do everything I can to avoid changing the angle of the snow plow
Later models the part number should not be the same because of the fast hitch helper spring reinforcement (shown in picture below) and the holes for the flashing light. They just are not interchangeable. They used stout gauge material and only a real pro could make that fender look like that, my money is on factory made.
My 65 (with IronGuard paint and mascot) sure doesn't have the short fender.

The prosecutor's office says that the man killed by Pleasantville Police back on April 22nd was holding a knife and did not stop when sprayed with pepper spray. The Atlantic County Prosecutor's Office is running the investigation and released information Tuesday to address public concern over the shooting.
According to authorities, 19-year-old Alexis Perez called police to say he had a weapon and was about to commit an act of violence.
Police responded and Perez got into a confrontation with about 10 officers while armed with a knife.
Officers used verbal commands and OC spray to try and stop Perez.
At that time authorities say Perez advanced at one of the officers, and four of the officers shot at Perez, fatally wounding him.
The Atlantic County's Prosecutor's Office is continuing this investigation.

Energy recovery
|Energy recovery If you use electricity, gas or oil for any form of heating within the production facilities or in the process, there is good reason to investigate the possibilities of fully or partly replacing the energy with surplus energy from the compressor installation. The decisive factors are the alternative value in SEK/kWh for the surplus energy, degree of utilization and the amount of additional investment necessary. A well-planned investment in energy recovery often gives a repayment time of only 1-3 years. Over 90% of the power supplied to the compressor can be recovered in the form of highly valuable heat. The temperature level of the recovered energy determines the possible application areas and thereby the value. The highest degree of efficiency is generally obtained from water cooled installations, when the compressor installation?s outgoing cooling water can be connected directly to a continuous heating requirement, for example, the heating boiler?s return circuit. Surplus energy can then be effectively utilized all year round. Different compressor designs give different prerequisites. In situations requiring a large heat flow, long transporting distances to the point of utilization, a generally lower requirement or a requirement that varies during the year, it can be of interest to look at the possibilities of selling the recovered energy.
|At the same time as the compressor produces compressed air, it also converts the supplied energy to heat, which is transferred to the coolant, air or water. Only a small part follows with the compressed air and is emitted as radiation from the machine and pipes. An air cooled compressor involves the simplest recovery system, while a water cooled compressor involves more efficient and more flexible recovery possibilities.

Hamline Law School dean to step down, return to practice
Posted Jul 9, 2013 4:10 PM CDT
By Molly McDonough
Donald Lewis, who's been the dean at Hamline Law School for the last five years, is leaving the St. Paul-based law school and returning full time to the firm he founded.
"The Minneapolis law firm that I helped build offers opportunities at this time to close my career doing what I love best: problem-solving for clients," Lewis said in letters circulated to the law school's faculty and students and quoted by MinnPost. "For very personal and professional reasons, I am now ready to return to law practice with a new perspective and fresh skills honed during my service as dean."
MinnPost and a Hamline release about the departure note that Lewis will return to Nilan Johnson Lewis, a firm he co-founded in 1996.
Hamline and MinnPost credit Lewis with improving the law school's U.S. News Ranking and broadening the scope of the school's non-J.D. track offerings.
Lewis will remain dean through the end of the year and re-join his firm on Jan. 1.

Now I'm not certain but the original for this – a Rhubarb custard tart – is probably from Dessert: Dessert Recipes from Le Champignon Sauvage by David Everitt-Matthias.
I say probably as the recipe is in Fork; The Real Food Magazine (which someone recommended on twitter) but doesn't specifically mention that the recipe is in the book…
By using a ready-made pastry case that is smaller than the recipes 22cm diameter the custard filling obviously has to be reduced too. Basically I cut everything by half; but still had excess cream left over. The other thing I should, perhaps, have done is to strain the raspberry puree. While I don't mind the crunch of the little seeds it did lack a certain finesse and smoothness a simple strain would have provided.
A rich and deliciously decadent tart made from Duck Eggs.
that looks super yummy!
A while ago you have been nominated to Inspiring Food Photography poll and I would want also to give you Beautiful Blog award (replacement for IFP event):
If you agree place link or badge linking to the B B List somewhere on your site or mention it in the post and I will place your link on the list.
thanks a lot! I'm just fond of cooking and such a sweet tooth! have found many other recepies (download different cookery books from http://www.picktorrent.com )but this one really impressed me by its simplicity and probably great taste! will try it as soon as I can:)
I was looking for raspberry + custard recipes and came across this one. We have loads of raspberries from the bushes in our vege garden.
I would always strain the raspberries because just about everyone I know is put off by the crunchy seeds.
Another great place for strained raspberries is homemade icecream – delicious!

ANDERSON — Maybe we're still hunkered down from a brutal winter, but spring really is just around the corner. Anderson City Market is already prepping for the launch of the second season of the downtown farmers market.
City Market organizer Jody Townsend is hosting an informational meeting for interested vendors on March 27 at 6:30 p.m. at the Fire Training Center, 5812 Martin Luther King Blvd.
Vendors will learn about the nuts and bolts of the market, the upcoming season and its goals. Vendor applications will be available. The market's opening day is set for May 3, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. in Anderson's Athletic Park.
"I am having vendors calling from all over right now," said Townsend. She said that vendors were watching the market last year. "They liked what they saw."
The market was the brainchild of Townsend and Brad Land. It features local produce and baked goods, as well as the work of local artisans, on Saturday mornings throughout the summer. They pulled the project together last year for the first time.
"It exceeded all our expectations. Vendors are happy. Shoppers are happy. It's something that people look forward to on Saturday mornings." Townsend sees it as a win-win for everyone.
"It makes fresh food available in the community, and supports local growers and small businesses," said Townsend. "It helps the community. It helps with unity and involvement. We're such an indoor, on-the-computer society — we hope to help get people out and talking to each other again."
In 2013, the market started out with 13 vendors, and topped out at 40. This year, Townsend said she'd be happy to have 50 vendors.
"We're easy to work with. It's low cost. The people are buying customers," said Townsend.
Dick and Jude Sochacki of Apple of His Eye Orchards were among last year's vendors, and they'll be back this year.

Postgraduate Study In The U.K.
Postgraduate Study In The UK: The International Student's Guide by Nicholas Foskett and Rosalind Foskett (Sage 2006).
One of the best ways to kill time is by thinking of applying to graduate school.
Not by actually attending graduate school. Not by applying. But by thinking of applying. Seasoned procrastinators can spend years considering whether a Master of Arts or a Master of Science would look better on their Facebook profiles.
To add another level of time-consuming complexity, the hypothetical graduate program should be in another country, requiring investigation – and lots of reflection – on issues such as student visas, exchange rates and differing academic terminology. With perseverance and a little luck, the process of selecting a graduate program can continue past retirement.
Postgraduate Study In The UK takes some of the fun out of the process, since it provides a basic orientation (the British would say "induction") to masters and doctoral study in the United Kingdom.
For students from the United States, the biggest difference will be how little time the Brits spend in class. U.S. courses are measured in credit hours – roughly one credit hour per hour of weekly in-class instruction. U.K. courses are measured in credit points – roughly one credit point per 10 hours of required study. So a class at a British university might meet once a week, if that, which is great for people like me who will gladly read until five in the morning but aren't keen on attending an 8 a.m. class three times a week.
"Class" is not the correct word, though. In much the manner that Mormonism adopted Christian words but gave them different meanings – making it difficult for a Mormon to understand a conversion-minded Baptist missionary – the Brits have a similar, but different and confusing, academic vocabulary.
A postgraduate student – that's the first major difference; we say "graduate," and they say "postgraduate" -- might take two or three "courses" per term, each of which will consist of a reading list and meetings with a professor ("fellow" or "don"). Sometimes a student presents a paper for critique by the group. The academic emphasis is on what students do outside of the classroom to earn their PGDip, MA, MEng, MPhil, MRes, MSc, MSt, DLitt or DPhil. (You didn't think the degrees had familiar names, did you?)
Certain of the universities employ a Lecture List or Seminar List. Instead of requiring students to attend lectures given at regular intervals by the same professor in the same room, some British universities distribute a list of all lectures (sometimes called "seminars") which will be given by anyone – faculty or a visiting scholar – on a particular topic. The student attends whichever ones are of interest.
A biochemistry student at University College London, for example, would be presented with a straightforward Lecture List, with each day's session building logically on the previous one.
Meanwhile, a student of Indian religions at Oxford University would be feasting on a buffet of options from the Lecture and Seminar Lists issued by the Oriental Institute, the Division of Social Sciences, the Faculty of History, the Centre for Hindu Studies and the Centre For Islamic Studies, as well as the Modern South Asian History Seminars and the Early Modern South Asia Workshop offered by the Asian Studies Centre.
While U.S. universities predominantly employ a semester system, many British universities divide the academic year into three ten-week terms, each with a medieval religious name such as Michaelmas Term or Trinity Term. This gives university towns a distinct rhythm, bustling during term, quieter during the vacations in between. (Your math is correct; the university is in session for thirty weeks, leaving twenty-two weeks of vacation -- which expains why Evelyn Waugh characters had so much free time).
Every university in the U.K. is a public, government-funded institution, except for the University of Buckingham, the nation's only private university. Not coincidentally, the cost for a U.S. citizen to attend almost any university in the U.K. is roughly the same, at current exchange rates about $22,000 in academic fees. When you consider that annual tuition at a second-rate, State-side institution such as Boston University is $37,000, the University of Edinburgh starts to look attractive, the Scottish winter notwithstanding.
There is one striking similarity between the two countries. As in the U.S., it's all about the rankings, called the "league tables." We have U.S. News & World Report; they have the Times Good University Guide and the Guardian University Guide. Going global, the Times Higher Education Supplement publishes an annual World University Rankings. The British government also gets in on the act, with a Research Assessment Exercise every few years that grades university programs on a six-point scale (1,2,3,4,5,5*), the higher the better.
By necessity, Postgraduate Study in the UK cannot be too detailed. It has to provide information to everyone from a mid-career oil refinery manager from Venezuela who wants to earn an MSc in Control Systems from Imperial College London to the parents of a child prodigy from Smolensk who think the kid is ready for a Ph.D. in Composition from the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama.
Within that constraint, the book provides an excellent overview, as well as material for months, perhaps years, of thought.

The Vermont College of Fine Arts offers a special blend of old and new. "You have this old campus and yet you have some of the leading contemporary artists, writers, musicians and designers," said College President Thomas Christopher Greene.The school was founded in 2008. In that time its budget has doubled to 10-million dollars. Right now the school offers five graduate programs that span the arts -- growing responsibly is now among its biggest challenges. "We bought the most expensive house in the neighborhood and we have to pay the mortgage on it, so it is always a challenge financially," Greene said.VCFA's 350 students come from across the country, but you won't find them all on campus at the same time. Instead, the school uses a low residency model, where students come to Montpelier for two, ten-day stretches while completing course work from home."They get to collide with one another and work on things that they can then take back to their home studios," said Silas Munro, a graphic design professor."Even though we are a low residency model and we are not with each other on a daily basis, we email, we Skype, we have monthly check-ins with our advisors," said Rachael Hatley, a graphic design student and mother of two from Louisiana. She said her graduate program is allowing her to balance work and family in ways others would not. "I am raising two small boys and it is very difficult to go to classes when you have children to go back to, and I want to be there when they get back from school, so the independent study model works really well for me," she said.For now, the fine arts school is leasing some of its 33 acre campus to the state to help pay its bills. It would eventually like to double the amount of enrolled students, but that could be a few years away."We're raising money, we're doing all the things you need to do to run a college, but for us it is about staying entrepreneurial, nimble and growing, and continuing to attract the best people," Greene said.VCFA is now in the process of adding a film program for graduate students. Tuition, room and board ranges from about $18,000-$20,000 a year, depending on the program.

Aquin's football team is ready to take the field Friday night. The Bulldogs went 7-1 in the NUIC Upstate Conference last year, losing to Stockton in the final week in a de facto conference championship game. This year, they're hungry for more success.
"The kids are anxious," Aquin head coach Todd Kramer said. "They've been banging on each other for the last three weeks. The kids are getting to that point where it's time to play against somebody else."
That somebody else in week one is Ashton-Franklin Center. The Bulldogs lost some key weapons from last year's team, namely quarterback Nolan Brannick.
But they're confident they can make a strong run again this season.

"We are now solidly in an era of mergers, acquisitions and other financial activity in the boring, steady industry of book publishing." Jeremy Greenfield states in a recent article for Forbes. "As the way people consume media changes, book publishers are realizing they are content creation and rights management companies and not just book publishers. Many of them are now playing in the app market, educational technology market and other areas they likely wouldn't have dreamed of a decade ago."Read more

Bitching about the vapidity of tentpoles is the new black. "The Dark Knight Rises" cinematographer Wally Pfister recently disparaged the shooting clumsiness of " The Avengers" in an interview, Paul Bettany admitted that he's never bothered to watch any of the "Iron Man" movies he's in (he plays the robot voice of Tony Stark's digital butler Jarvis) and finally, Australian actor Hugo Weaving recently said he's not very keen on returning to Marvel's "Captain America" franchise (he plays the Red Skull villain).
And Weaving, who has already talked a bit of trash about Michael Bay's "Transformers" series in the past -- claiming he had not seen any of the movies he had voiced (he plays Megatron) and sounding rather flippant about it -- took a few more digs at the films again this week calling his voice work on the project "meaningless."
"It was one of the only things I've ever done where I had no knowledge of it, I didn't care about it, I didn't think about it," Weaving told Collider on the weekend. "They wanted me to do it. In one way, I regret that bit. I don't regret doing it, but I very rarely do something if it's meaningless. It was meaningless to me, honestly. I don't mean that in any nasty way."
Nasty or not, a lot of geek sites friendly to "Transformers" and Michael Bay raised their eyebrows and took notice. It didn't take long until the always vocal Michael Bay shot back on his website. Updated: Michael Bay has deleted his post, which doesn't do a lot of good because every site on on the Internet, including ours, has already copied and pasted it his statement.
"Do you ever get sick of actors that make $15 million a picture, or even $200,000 for voiceover work that took a brisk one hour and 43 minutes to complete, and then complain about their jobs?
With all the problems facing our world today, do these grumbling thespians really think people reading the news actually care about trivial complaints that their job wasn't "artistic enough" or "fulfilling enough"? I guess The Hollywood Reporter thinks so. What happened to people who had integrity, who did a job, got paid for their hard work, and just smiled afterward? Be happy you even have a job – let alone a job that pays you more than 98% of the people in America.
I have a wonderful idea for all those whiners: They can give their "unhappy job money" to a wonderful Elephant Rescue. It's the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust in Africa. I will match the funds they donate."
Of course, the filmmaker doesn't specifically call Weaving out, but it's obvious who he's talking about and we have to admit, we do like Bay's challenge and thoughts. "Transformers" films are meaningless, but Weaving's work on it sounded rather painless, so why bother publicly complaining? Does this mean Weaving won't return for "Trans4ormers" or "Transformers 4" or whatever the sorta-reboot might be? Bay did kick Megan Fox to the curb from the series after all her public complaints, so it's possible he could pull the same manuever here, but it's not like Weaving would be heartbroken. Will Megatron, killed off in the third film, return? Wasn't he killed off in each one and then resurrected? Do we even care? Enjoy your daily dose of film drama, we're returning to the salt mines...
maryrachelkate | October 21, 2012 12:50 AM
Michael Bay - defender of the 47%!!!! LMAO! Which one is Megatron? Is he/it in all of the movies? I go see these movies on the 4th of July to see the pretty things go BOOM! It's cheaper than the fireworks show at the Rose Bowl.
Sean | October 19, 2012 2:49 AM
This is TOOOO FUNNY! B/c i KNEW I KNEW Bay was going to respond I just knew it! Just 2 points. 1. Whiners do suck not gonna lie. Hugo should chill. But he's most def right oh no doubt about it! He wasnt dissing the movie or Bay get that clear. Just his mind as an artist. 2. Bay is a dick. He's trying to be all brilliant & get sympathy whatever man. Your skills suck ass. Your a hack popcorn director calm the f down buddy. Everything your response said we already knew (ie the money, the integrity, blah blah...) And Bay your a dick for not meeting all of your freakin actors! Regardless if their a voice or your busy or a star. WHAT THE FUCK KIND OF DIRECTOR RU MAN?!?!? ugh just disgusting to the art form.
Glass | October 18, 2012 10:07 PM
I can't totally sympathize with Hugo Weaving, but he's right, the Transformers movies are utterly meaningless. Every character dies and comes back to life, so who gives a shit if the movie's telling me Optimus is dead? He'll be alive again 20 minutes from now. It's just a flat line... And I really liked the first one, and a number of other Bay movies.
HombreGato | October 18, 2012 9:52 PM
I had a completely different take on Weaving's comments, and I'm the kind of guy who's blood boils when scifi is dismissed by aloof artists.
"To me", Weaving was said it was meaningless "to me"... which is an important pair of words.
He doesn't regret accepting the role, but it probably should have gone to someone with a personal investment. That's just speaking with honesty. If he thought robot movies were crap, he'd be spitting on the role that made him famous. (Ok, so not a robot but close enough)
Crowjane29 | October 18, 2012 6:24 PM
If you actually agree with Bay here, you're not only as much an idiot as he is, but you're willfully misinterpreting Hugo Weaving's remarks, which were not in any way intended to be controversial or start a feud. Weaving didn't say any of this out of the blue, but after repeatedly being prodded by multiple reporters for any intel on the Transformers franchise. He didn't have any, and Bay never bothered to involve him to the extent he was actually given a full script to read. None of Megatron's lines make much sense out of context. (In fact, most don't make much sense at all.) Bay has repeatedly failed to get Weaving's name correct in the past, and probably has made no effort to know him or any other actor personally, given how many of them have now trashed him in the press. I doubt he knows who Hugo Weaving is beyond "that Agent Smith guy". Heaven freakin' forbid that any actor say they prefer to work in independent film, which is a lot MORE work for a lot LESS money, and which Weaving has consistently said is his preference since the early 1980s... yes, long before he was famous. Bay is clearly in it for the money and to win acclaim from one audience niche who will eagerly shell out their money (or their parents') for any explosion-filled, talking-robot crap he dishes out. And using charitable contribution as an ego boosting brag point is beneath contempt... and Hugo Weaving already gives plenty to charity and serves as spokesman for an animal welfare group... he just doesn't use this as fodder in public pissing contests. (Weaving isn't taking part of any perceived feud, by the way... I'm pretty sure he's oblivious to all of this nonsense, as he never meant for his remarks to sound ungrateful or controversial. He also rather wisely avoids the internet and the pop culture.) Chris Rock once famously said that it's common knowledge actors do voice gigs because they're an easy way to earn a lot of money. He said this AT THE OSCARS. It wasn't controversial, and in fact is true: I'm sure writing comedy and acting onscreen are much more difficult than the talking zebra gig. The same is true in Weaving's case, though he has had more affection for some voice jobs than others over the years. But none are hard work the way stage or screen acting is hard work. If Weaving had said this about Happy Feet or any other voice role, no one would have noticed. But fanboys are possessive and pig-headed about thinking actors owe them or need to share their level of enthusiasm, or else somehow they're "ungrateful". This is unreasonable and childish. Michael Bay stopped mentally evolving at about age 14, so I expect this behavior from him, right down to the passive-aggressive post deletion. But if you're really a fan of any actor, you accept that his job isn't to satisfy your personal whims and tastes ad infinitum, but to challenge himself. Weaving is the one showing integrity here: he's turning down easy paydays for Australian independent films and stage roles he finds more rewarding. He wasn't trying to be nasty to anyone, but a lot of narrowminded people are being very nasty to him without cause. He never wanted to be "King of the Nerds". Get over it.
Pierre | October 18, 2012 6:17 PM
I think Bay misinterpreted it as a knock on the franchise and saw the error and took it down. His work was meaningless, but that's not necessarily a complaint.
andrea | October 18, 2012 5:41 PM
Come on! Weaving was saying that HIS voice work was meaningless, he wasn't dissing the movie (read the "I don't mean that in any nasty way" again), and of course it must have felt that way given that he never even met the film's director.
Daniel | October 18, 2012 2:20 PM
Part of my sympathizes with the director here, and part of me thinks it's ridiculous to complain about someone else complaining. Look, you paid him to record voiceover, and he did -- The End. What he chooses to say about it afterwards is up to him.
RNL | October 18, 2012 1:13 PM
"...Megatron, killed off in the third film..."
Oh, gee, thanks!!
Nah, j/k, who cares.
mpbstereo | October 18, 2012 12:59 PM
I can't believe I'm about to say this, but... Bay's got a valid point.
KT | October 18, 2012 12:58 PM
... How about the fact that you are extremely overpaid and yet can't direct a single competent and coherent movie you ass-hat.
spitfire | October 18, 2012 12:57 PM
Kills me to have to agree with Michael Bay.
But also are there any actors from those movies left who haven't bitched about them?

Rob Ryan, feeling that he needs to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory, decides to put max pressure on Eli. The Cowboys hadn't gotten any pressure on Eli the entire game, even with their heavy blitzes, and he decides he's going to leave his (weak) defensive backfield out on an island. The predictable happens, and Eli continues to hit the open guy after open guy for big chunks of yards.
Although only for 5 yards, one (of the many) killer play was Ware's first false start. It stopped the clock, gave the Giants a favorable down and distance (1st and 5), and gave the Giants a chance to regroup. The Giants were on the 37 yard line when it happened. 20 seconds later, the Giants were in the end zone. It only took them 2:32 to get into the end zone and they didn't burn a single time out.
The next drive, Felix gets a nice run for 5 yards on 1st down. However, I've seen this exact situation in both the NYJ and NE games. The Cowboys forget that they are a good running team only when the other team is afraid of the pass. Here, the Giants were expect run on 2nd down and stuffed them. We then missed what would have been the clinching play to Myles.
McBriar could have easily gotten off a 50-60 yarders because he could have put his full leg into it and only gets 33 yards. That was another absolute killer. Very next first play, Rob being Rob blitzes and Spencer is caught running behind Jake Ballard who goes for 21 yards and easily puts the Giants into scoring position. Barely a minute has run off the clock since the Giants scored their TD and they are already on Dallas's 37.
The key to winning most games (in any sport) is to press the advantage you have. Up 12 minutes with 5:52 left on the clock, your advantage is the clock. Your advantage is not blitzing Eli because he has long showed that he can find the (wide) open guy. Like Garrett didn't put the Cowboys into a position to win last week, Ryan didn't put the Cowboys in a position to win this week. If the Cowboys could have played the force Eli to take small chunks at a time, while keeping the clock moving, there would not have been enough time for Eli's second drive.
I've read people say that Rob doesn't adjust well in the second half after the other team figures out what he is doing. I'm beginning to believe it. This defense just cannot stop anybody when they have to in the 4th quarter.
I'll give some credit to a few players: Felix for showing that he is still a viable #1 running back. To Romo for continue to make plays with a shaky offensive line. To Myles for stepping up big in the final drive. To Robinson, for continuing to make big plays. To Jenkins, for being out there when he could have easily sat it out after his injury. As for the goats, if you play on defense, then you were probably a goat.

School officials in Springfield are investigating an incident at the High School of Science and Technology.
School officials said a male adult, who is not affiliated with the school, reportedly brought a weapon into the building Monday morning.
School officials quickly identified the man and police were immediately on scene.
According to officials, school authorities placed the school in a lockdown right away.
Officials said the lockdown was lifted only after police had checked the building and determined that it was secure, which was about 30 minutes later.
School officials are continuing to review the incident and said they will continue to cooperate fully with police.
Though school and police authorities never witnessed an actual weapon, school officials said any report of a weapon is taken extremely seriously and the school district will always choose to err on the side of caution.

Photos: SurThrival NY, Daniel Vitalis rocks the house
This past weekend our good friend Vanessa Barg hosted alchemist, herbalist and spring water king, Daniel Vitalis, at the first ever SurThrival NYC lecture and Chocolate Party.
SurThirval is the art and science of "thriving through all circumstances" and at this lecture Daniel Vitalis went deep into some of the ideas he covered in our joint venture ElixirCraft Master Course.
The event featured amazing food, lots of recognizable faces, tons of chocolate, dope elixirs and a commemorative chocolate bar.
Rawtographer Jeff Skeirik was in full force at SurThival and took some of the best event photos I've ever seen taken at an event. I've posted a few of my favorites here, but be sure to check out the entire photo album here.

100 yummy recipes from a gluten-free omnivore
Writer and photographer Erin Scott has just published her first book, titled Yummy Supper, which offers 100 "fresh, luscious and honest recipes from a (gluten-free) omnivore." The book grew from Scott's popular blog of the same name. We asked the Berkeley resident to spill the beans on her inspirations, what the deal is with gluten free, and where she likes to source her food locally.
The new book is gorgeous. What did you set out to achieve when you wrote/photographed it?
Thank you! I wanted to make a book full of recipes that are fresh, delicious, and accessible to a wide range of home cooks. I looked at photography as a powerful way to draw people into the kitchen and encourage them to cook –a well-written recipe can be enticing, of course, but photography is an unbeatable tool to whet someone's appetite.
The book stemmed from your Yummy Supper blog. When and why did you start writing that?
I accidentally fell into blogging back in the summer of 2009. At that point, I didn't even know how blogs worked and I'd always been a bit suspicious of technology, but I was looking for a friendly forum to share recipes with other food-loving friends and a blog seemed like a good vehicle.
I'd been diagnosed with Celiac Disease in 2008 and at first felt very isolated in this food-obsessed town of ours. I started Yummy Supper because I was looking to reconnect with folks around the joy of cooking simple, seasonal foods, to look beyond my dietary limitation and create a delicious common ground for sharing recipes with other food lovers, gluten-free or not. … Continue reading »
Ex-Chez Panisse pastry chef is back as chocolatier
When the buyer at San Francisco's artisanal mecca Bi-Rite Market proclaims a certain brand of chocolates to be "exquisite– quite simply, the best I've ever tasted," it would be wise to pay attention.
The chocolates in question are made by Alexandra Whisnant, under the name gâté comme des filles chocolats (a French line that loosely translates as Spoiled Like the Girls Chocolates). So far, they are sold at The Local Butcher Shop in Berkeley (made with their own signature bacon) and through online food delivery service Good Eggs.
Whisnant, a chocolatier by trade, has just relocated gâté comme des filles from Paris to the Bay Area. … Continue reading »
Holiday turkey: Chop it up, it tastes better!
It's turkey season. Norman Rockwell's iconic image of a turkey dinner — "Freedom from Want" — reenforces the image that the turkey we place on the table for holiday feasts should be a whole bird. However many experts, including Monica Rocchino, co-owner with her husband Aaron Rocchino of The Local Butcher Shop in Berkeley, challenges that sacred notion. Below, she explains why carving up the bird makes for a better-tasting meat. This article was originally published a year ago, one of the first stories we commissioned for the then newly launched Berkeleyside Nosh. Happy Birthday to us! And Happy Thanksgiving to you all!
Thanksgiving or Christmas Dinner is a pressure-filled meal for many of us. For those who don't cook much throughout the year, it is a daunting task to feed family and friends, and for those who pride themselves on being excellent cooks, there are grand expectations!
Unfortunately, for both types of cooks, Norman Rockwell's image of a turkey dinner has become the "norm" of what we expect to see on the holiday table, even if only for a brief moment before it gets carved or hacked to pieces. After spending a pretty penny on a turkey, why is it that we throw our sense of taste aside in order to present a whole bird for a minute or two at the table? The bottom line is that it is nearly impossible to cook a whole turkey and end up with perfectly cooked white and dark meat. … Continue reading »
In Oakland, two Italians craft pasta with a U.S. twist
Almost a year ago this week, Renato Sardo and Dario Barbone, compatriots from northwestern Italy, set up shop in Oakland's burgeoning Jack London Square to make pasta. Not just any old pasta. Each of the twelve shapes produced by Baia Pasta — from the charming conchiglioni ("spinners") to the traditional maccheroni — are made from organic American flours.
"The idea for the business started when I learned that many high quality dried pastas in Italy are made from American wheat,"said Renato Sardo as he stood in the Baia Pasta retail space that doubles as the production facility.
Hard durum wheat (as opposed to soft wheat, which has a lower protein content and is used for pie crusts and cakes) contributes that desirable toothiness in dried pasta cooked to al dente. Ground hard durum, also called semolina, remains their best seller. But Sardo and Barbone also experiment with other flours, such as spelt and kamut, grown organically in the areas surrounding the Rocky Mountain Range. They even make a rice-based noodle that appeals to the gluten-free crowd. … Continue reading »
Meat matters: 2 new films focus on hot issues
Ashton Kutcher is the executive producer of a mini-documentary about Bay Area butcher shops which features Berkeley's own The Local Butcher Shop, along with 4505 Meats and Avedano's Holly Park Market in San Francisco.
The subject of meat, America's industrial meat system and the growing movement towards more sustainable, humane practices is a hot one right now.
On Feb. 4 UC Berkeley is hosting a free screening of American Meat a pro-farmer documentary which takes a critical look at cattle, hog, and chicken production in the U.S. and examines the viability of moving the industry over to more sustainable practices. A discussion will follow the screening, moderated by Novella Carpenter, author of the best-selling memoir Farm City and co-owner of Berkeley's BioFuel Oasis which, as well as selling bio-fuel to cars, offers urban farming classes. … Continue reading »

DUENDE Definitely one of the most anticipated restaurant openings of the year, Duende is officially open for business.

There will be Verve Coffee available in the mornings and imported olive oil, along with wine organized by country. Bottles from the bodega can be opened in the restaurant with a $12 corkage fee. Domestic wines, beers and a full bar will be available in the restaurant side of Duende. Duende, 468 19th St., Oakland; 510-893-0174.

CAFFE VENEZIA Caffe Venezia, on University Avenue at Grant Street, will close before this summer after 33 years of operation in Berkeley. Owners Jeff Wizig and Roger Feuer are retiring and selling the business, the restaurant's manager said. A new owner plans to open a restaurant in the space eventually, but the lid is on precisely what it will be. Caffe Venezia, with its charming Venice street scene interior décor — fountains, balconies and washing lines included — has been a much-loved fixture on the local dining scene for generations of Berkeley families. Caffe Venezia's founder, John Solomon, was the inspiration behind the "How Berkeley Can You Be Parade" that marched along University once a year for 13 years, until it was canceled in 2009. Berkeleyside Nosh will have a fuller report looking at the history of the restaurant and its place in city life soon. [Hat-tip: James Carr] … Continue reading »

Top food stories from Berkeley in 2011
As the year draws to a close, it's time to look back to see what food stories created a buzz around town and on Berkeleyside in 2011.
Granted, there's an arbitrary nature to such end-of-year lists. But it's an opportunity to take stock of the city's culinary culture.
For the purposes of this post we've focused on food news stories, which doesn't take into account the dozens of interviews with foragers, farmers, artisans, advocates, chefs, cooking teachers, preservers, pasta makers, cheese purveyors, pop-up restaurateurs, and farmers' market vendors we've published during 2011.
This year also saw controversial coverage of corner stores, reporting on detractors of school food, an insider's take on speed dating with a veg-friendly focus, and a widely criticized first-person piece on disappointing camp chow.
Readers may differ on what food stories caught their attention. Feel free to add your own highlights (or low points) in the comments section.

Whole-beast butcher shop taps appetite for local meat
It's only been just over two months since former Chez Panisse chef Aaron Rocchino and his wife Monica opened The Local Butcher Shop in the heart of Berkeley's Gourmet Ghetto. But the store, which prides itself on sourcing locally and embracing the whole animal, has already found a loyal clientele and two very local restaurant clients.
Chez Panisse, perhaps not surprisingly, is patronizing the newly established meat purveyor and buying its beef there, as well as "anything else they need when they're in a pinch", says Monica Rocchino.
Saul's Deli is getting ground beef from its new neighbor and, as of last Tuesday, serving Local Butcher Shop bologna. Executive Chef Peter Levitt hopes this might go some way to appeasing his salami loving customers who, he says, are suffering while Saul's searches for sustainable, artisanal salami it feels happy to serve. … Continue reading »
Local food names sign up for Berkeley Off The Grid truck
Lush Gelato, voted by Berkeleyside readers as the best ice cream shop in Berkeley, will be going mobile tonight and serving its scoops from the guest truck at street food-fest Off The Grid — and a number of other local food names have signed up for future Wednesdays.
The Juice Bar Collective is planning on offering tamales for the Gourmet Ghetto's Dia de Los Muertos celebration on November 2nd, and Berkeley's new Local Butcher Shop — opened by former Chez Panisse chef Aaron Rocchino and his wife Monica in August — will host the guest truck on November 9th. Other possibles for future dates include Guerilla Café and Taste of the Himalayas.
The truck is owned by Off The Grid and offered to guest hosts at whichever location the street food fair is taking place. Saul Deli's Executive Chef Peter Levitt rustled up pickle plates and potato latkes from the truck in June.
Tonight, Lush will be serving gelato and chocolate sandwiches, a special-menu item designed specifically for Off the Grid, as well as basil, fresh mint chip and salted chocolate chip gelatos. … Continue reading »
Chez Panisse chef opens butcher shop in Berkeley
On Tuesday, Aaron and Monica Rocchino quietly opened the doors to their new business, an artisan butcher shop where the term "snout to tail" really comes into its own.
The Local Butcher Shop, in the old Red Hanger Kleaners space on Cedar Street in the Gourmet Ghetto, has already attracted dozens of curious foodies.
One-on-one customer service, offering cuts of meat hewed from whole carcasses, is the principal order of business. But providing some meat — most likely beef — to … Continue reading »
Chez Panisse chef to open artisan butcher shop
Chez Panisse chef Aaron Rocchino and his wife Monica are bringing artisan meat to the heart of the Gourmet Ghetto with the opening this summer of The Local Butcher Shop on Cedar Street in the old Red Hanger Kleaners space.
"We think there's a void in the market for restaurant-quality, sustainable meat for home customers," said Monica Rocchino, who is setting up the new retail operation with her husband.
"It's an idea whose time has come. I'm looking forward to having this shop in the neighborhood," said Michael Pollan, who lives in north Berkeley and has done much to champion the consumption of responsibly sourced meat.
The butcher shop will feature whole animals sourced directly from farms, none of which are further than 150 miles from Berkeley. The emphasis will be on grass-fed, sustainably raised meat, and the butchering and cutting will be to order. … Continue reading »

Here is a portion of the story for Sunday paper:
Among the free agents the Sixers might be interested in are Nets' power forward Kris Humphries, the Trail Blazers' Jamal Crawford, Pacers' center Roy Hibbert and Hornets' shooting guard Eric Gordon.

a lot of my loadouts are similar. one or two guns with different gadget setups.
How do you know what you're setup with without quitting or just getting frustrated that you don't have what you want?
I named my classes by what guns they have in them.
Vargen-Laser: Vargen, Kunara, can't remember the gadgets but one was light foot and another was mine sweeper.
Vargen-ACOG: Same set-up as the Vargen with laser but with the ACOG scope.
LOLZ: Terralite III Thermal Scope, dunno on the gadgets
Shotgun Rain: Drumhead Type 3 with Light Foot, Mine Sweeper and Trigger mines

But shiva run is pretty straightforward, Sh means hushed, Iva for Ivana, run for speed. The rest is what I would normally use with this sort of combo.
The more I look at it the more odd it seems. lol.

Renewable energy companies like Eco living are helping the Scottish Government meet their renewable energy Scotland targets. Climate change, peak oil, high oil prices and increased government support are helping drive beneficial renewable energy legislation, incentives and commercialization. The aim is for the nation to be a renewable energy Scotland by 2020 with renewable sources generating the equivalent of 100% of Scotland's gross annual electricity and a milestone of 31% by 2011. Another target for 2020 is for renewable s sources to provide the equivalent of 11% of Scotland's heat demand. Scottish ministers are not the only ones backing the target it has been endorsed by industry leaders such as renewable energy companies. They believe the target is ambitious but achievable.
The company inspires to be like the Scandinavians who have been leading eco-friendly solutions since the 1970′s. Heat pump systems transfer thermal energy from one source to another that is of higher temperature than the original source.Unlike other heating systems, heat pump systems can also be used for cooling; the operation is run in reverse. Another advantage of heat pumps is that they are more energy efficient than oil and gas boilers.
