"Start To Move is recast by UK producer Natural Self, who mixes those sick brass lines front and centre, as is Kemps fat stand-up bass bump. Also worth noting is "Georges Dilemma, where ambient electro pop artist Daisuke Tanabe samples and loops Shepherds voice into rhythmically quirky break beats.

olympic effort
Posted by Mark J. Miller on February 4, 2014 07:17 PM
With the Super Bowl over, it's time for the US and the rest of the world to move on to the Winter Olympics, which are set to begin this Friday in Sochi, Russia. Amid the controversy over Russia's anti-gay laws, brands are doing their best to keep spirits high and tread carefully in what has become a very sensitive situation for sponsors, athletes and fans alike.
AT&T is the latest Team USA Olympic sponsor to debut its campaign, but it's doing so in a way that makes its views clear beyond cheering athletes. For the It's Our Time campaign (hashtag: #ItsOurTime) the telecom giant is rolling out an app, a website and video booths around the US to encourage fans to send "USA!" chants over to Sochi to show their support for their home team.
That's not the only messaging attached to the campaign. While it was Coca-Cola that recently took a stance by running the first ever Super Bowl ad featuring a gay couple, it's AT&T that's leading the way on the Olympic LGBT front by publicly speaking out in favor of equality and condemning homophobia, specifically Russia's ban on gay "propaganda."Continue reading...

Biz Stone's Jelly is just two weeks old, but the mash-up of social and search has reached a roiling boil among fans and brands that were quick to adopt the new tech.
Jelly scored 28,275 active users on the first day with 100,000 questions asked in the first week. According to Digimind, during the first weeks of January, 77 percent of Jelly's users were speaking favorably online about the app while 19 percent were negative.
The gently altruistic brand whose tag line is "Let's help each other" relies on humans rather than algorithms to gather and parse information. "If we're successful, then we're going to introduce into the daily muscle memory of smartphone users, everyone, that there's this idea that there's other people that need their help right now," said CEO Biz Stone, a co-founder of Twitter.
A handful of brands have dived in head-first—and whether or not they are using the app correctly is open to interpretation.Continue reading...

Samsung Electronics aims to be the world's largest appliance manufacturer by 2015—no easy feat with mega-brands like GE, Kenmore and LG to compete with.
But the South Korean giant is already the fastest-growing appliance brand in the US, with a 10.5 percent jump in market share since 2011. "We're on track," said B.K. Yoon, Samsung's co-chief executive officer, according to Bloomberg Businessweek.
The bid is part of a bigger plan by Samsung announced this week at CES in which consumers will use smartphones and tablets to control their air conditioners, refrigerators, washers, LED lighting and more, creating a truly Smart Home.
The Smart Home platform provides three core services: Device Control, which are customized settings for all of devices via smartphone or Smart TV; Home View, cameras built into Samsung connected appliances to keep an eye on what's going on at home; and Smart Customer Service, which alerts users when it's time to service an appliance.Continue reading...

IBM may have made a TV star of Watson, but can he rock? GE's brilliant Brilliant Machines campaign touting the power of the Industrial Internet has spawned Compressorhead—a band of robots that will be performing live in New York's Union Square on Tuesday, Nov. 12. The indie band with its own Facebook and Twitter presence was conceived in partnership with BBDO New York. Now they're being brought to life in a free concert scheduled to run from 1:00 p.m. through 8:00 p.m.
Hailing from Germany (as GE's blog post quipped, "Move over, Kraftwerk"), Compressorhead is comprised of three 5 foot tall humanoids—drummer Stickboy, bassist Bones and lead/rhythm Fingers—rendered from scrap metal, with heavy metal music such as Pantera covers via Midi, and moves aided by electro-pneumatics.Continue reading...

Vietnam's economy isn't very robust right now but its airline industry is on fire. The Aviation Department of Vietnam is expecting domestic passengers to rise 15 percent this year after going up 7 percent last year, Reuters reports. Part of the increase is due to tourist travel into the country being up 10 percent in the first nine months of the year compared to the same period last year.
The boost in tourism has translated into a solid pay-day for airplane manufacturers like Boeing, Mitsubishi Aircraft Corp., Bombardier Inc., and Embraer SA, as airlines based in the country could double or triple their fleets in the next few years in order to "serve a domestic market of 90 million people and tourist arrivals growing on average 20 percent annually." According to Bloomberg, General Electric will be raking in $1 billion to supply engines to Vietnam Airlines' 787 Dreamliners.Continue reading...

New in NYC: Two Affordable Boutique Hotels Open Their Doors
Top-tier hotels are popping up throughout the city, despite the current economic woes, and they're offering affordable rates so guests no longer have to trade style for savings. Two recent openings are especially trendy—and especially affordable.
Ace Hotel
The great thing about the new Ace Hotel, aside from its laidback hipster vibe (a photo booth in the lobby; mini-Heineken kegs in the in-room mini-fridges; and a young staff, sans uniform, that makes it seem like you're staying at the pad of your coolest friend) is that everyone, from bankers to backpackers, are welcome. With a range of accommodations, the Ace is designed to provide the style and luxury you'd expect to find at a 5-star hotel, for a price that everyone can afford. Come October, the in-house restaurant, the Breslin (of the same owners of the forever-trendy Spotted Pig restaurant) will open its doors, so try to snag a stay here before the scenesters take over. Rooms start at $169.
Chelsea, a neighborhood known for its art galleries, restaurants, and nightclubs, is now home to the new GEM hotel. And lucky for you, it doesn't cost a fortune to stay here. This small boutique hotel offers modern rooms decked out with black and white photos on the wall, flat-screen TVs, white linens, iPod docking stations, full length mirrors, and free Wi-Fi. The rooms are small but are designed to make the most of the limited space. And since you're surrounded by the best of NYC culture and nightlife, you most likely won't be spending much time in your hotel room anyway. Rooms start at $159.

Re the GEM, while many appreciate the accomodations, some have commented adversely on the dreary neighborhood and desolate walk from the hotel to penn station/madison sq garden area.

It's pretty hard to tell right now. Last year, when he came back from injury, he's on a tear. Power and hitting average is insanely high. But after the all-star break, starts his decline. Now that the all-star break is done, I just hope it would be a different thing from last year.
You could trade him for someone who needs a C that would take a chance on him. I have him right now and I've been trying to deal him since I got Posey. No deal is pushing through.
I wouldn't be so quick to deal him, he's been on a tear since the all star break.
Wait it out a bit longer before you deal him if you do, let his stock rise again.
Who do you have to replace him anyhow?
Beijing Boy! Beijing Boy! Jul 25, 2010 7:28 AM Flag
i thought he was pre-ranked too high to begin with.
But his drop-off from last season to this season is a real decline.
I can imagine he was mostly drafted in the late first round or early second round. Either way, you're screwed. To think guys like Carlos Santana, Posey and the like could be had off waivers!!
I'm sure he causes mass headaches for the guys that took him in the first round.
if I could trade him for something like dunn I would.
Beijing Boy! Beijing Boy! Jul 25, 2010 3:31 AM Flag
mauer has no trade value, i've been trying to get anythng of value for him since the season started. mauer sucks this season and will continue to be a disappointment based on ADP.

MEMS expands into 3D earth magnetic field sensors
August 03, 2011 // Paul Buckley
Multitest has added a new application to its MEMS test and calibration product line. With the new application, 3D earth magnetic field sensors can be used for innovative mobile applications and state-of-the-art navigation applications without the use of a GPS.
Broadening from automotive to mobile/consumer applications, these devices become more cost sensitive. The latest MT MEMS equipment not only continues Multitest's modular MEMS concept, but also responds to the trend of multiple DOF (degrees of freedom) test. Among others, it can be combined with low-g accelerometer test.
In addition to being an alternative to using the earth's magnetic field, the application also can be configured with external magnetic coils. The configuration provides high magnetic force at the highest accuracy.
The new equipment for 3D earth magnetic field sensor tests has been in high volume production for several months now. The field proven performance confirms Multitest's leading expertise in MEMS test.
More information about Multitest's new MEMS application at www.multitest.com/MEMS.

KUALA LUMPUR: World No. 1 men's singles shuttler Lee Chong Wei has given the thumbs-up to the Badminton World Federation (BWF) for approving a two-month break for players next season.
The world body will kick off their prestigious BWF World Superseries next year with the All-England in March. They have decided to move the back-to-back Korean and Malaysian Opens, normally held in January, to a later date.
BWF are still finalising some changes in their tournament schedule and the full list will be released soon.
The two-time Olympic Games silver medallist Chong Wei is happy with the move as it will give the top players some breathing space and ample time to rest and recover from the long season.
"We have been complaining about the hectic season for many years. Finally, the BWF have decided to look into it. I welcome the two-month break at the start of the year. It is a good idea," said Chong Wei.
"In football, the players have a rest season. Now, the badminton players will enjoy the same. The players will come back refreshed after the break to give quality performances. This is certainly good news for older players like me," he added, laughing.

College Athletes Tell NCAA They Want a Piece of the Action
More than 300 major college football and men's basketball players are telling the NCAA and college presidents they want a cut of the ever-increasing TV sports revenue they are earning for their schools.
That faint sound you hear is the wind of change whistling through the halls of ivy from coast to coast.
College athletes from Arizona, Georgia Tech, Kentucky, Purdue and UCLA have signed a petition asking the NCAA and their schools to share some of the money they're making from TV deals with football and men's basketball players.
The players want to be able to tap those funds to cover educational costs if they exhaust their athletic eligibility before they graduate. And they could get what's left of the money allocated to them when they graduate — a step some say would amount to professionalizing college sports.
Purdue Quarterback Rob Henry signed the petition, saying it's a matter of simple fairness. "Without the athletes, there are no Division I sports. There are no TV contracts, there are no coaches' contracts. Athletes should be the number one priority."
There's been no response from the NCAA, but the NCAA has always been fiercely opposed to paying athletes.
via College athletes press NCAA reform – NCAA Football – Sporting News.
College athletics have been described as America's last "plantation." Colleges and coaches make millions of dollars from sports that are played by athletes who are forbidden to be paid for their skills.

By Rick Warren
— May 21, 2014
Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance. 1 Corinthians 13:7 (NLT)
"How do you refuel your love tank? You start by letting God love you."
Love can be absolutely exhausting. Don't let anyone fool you. The kind of love that really makes a difference in this world will zap everything out of you.
Sometimes you just don't feel like you have any more love to give. Maybe you're in a people-intensive job - such as teacher, salesman, or waitress - and you come home and think, "I just can't face another need, another problem, or another heartache." So you just shut down.
Or you need to show love to a particular person who is demanding, selfish, and never returns your love. And you just think to yourself, "I'm done. No more."
While that's perfectly natural and perfectly human, it's not the standard of love God calls us to in the Bible. The Bible says, "Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance." (1 Corinthians 13:7 NLT) Love NEVER gives up.
How can you have that kind of persistent love for another person? You get refueled.
When my kids were young, I remember taking the family to a nearby air show. It was so impressive to see how they would hook up a tanker to a jet in flight to refuel. I'll never forget that.
But, can you imagine someone flying a jet saying, "I don't need to refuel?" The jet would crash and burn. In a long distance flight, a jet has to refuel.
To give the kind of persistent love that God wants you to give, you have to refuel your love tank. Look around at society, and you'll see it's littered with debris from relationships that have crashed and burned because people didn't refuel their love.
How do you refuel your love tank? You start by letting God love you. "We love because he first loved us." (I John 4:19 NIV) When you're worn out, tired, and can't imagine showing love to anyone else, remember that God loved you so much that he sent his son to die for you.
Now that's real fuel. That's what keeps you going when you want to quit.
Would you like to become all God intended you to be? God is in the business of changing lives and He wants to transform you into the person He created you to be-with more love, more faith, and an eternal purpose. Thousands of people have personally shared how their lives have been transformed by Pastor Rick Warren's powerful teaching so we put together a six CD collection of his most requested sermons. These are sermons you'll want to listen to more than once and to share with your friends and family members.
The world needs radical believers who go back to the Bible and do what God intended for Christians to do in the first place. In this message series, Pastor Rick goes to the Bible to show you how to have radical gratitude so that you can develop deep spiritual roots.

Cambridge Illustrated History of the Roman World by Greg Woolf
Book DescriptionFrom its mythical foundation in 753 BC to its sack in the fifth century AD, the city of Rome had an impact on the world that it would be hard to overestimate. At its height the empire which it built up stretched from northern Britain to the deserts of Arabia. In this new history an international team of historians, archaeologists and classicists presents a vision of the world's most famous imperial power based on the most up-to-date research and discoveries. Chapters and box-features present gripping accounts of Roman history and literature and deal with themes ranging from medicine to warfare. They are supported by a rich set of illustrations of sites, monuments and works of art from across the Empire. Read together, these build up a fascinating picture of a civilization permeated by its imperial role, and of the colossal costs as well as the gains of empire.

Amanda Thomas Takes to the Top For Opening Day of Equifest I Professional Hunter Divisions
RELEASE: July 25, 2013
AUTHOR/ADMINISTRATOR: Ashley N. Williams for Phelps Media Group, Inc. International
Amanda Thomas and Bonfire swept the Pre-Green 3'3" Hunter division over fences for the first day of Equifest (Ashley N. Williams/Phelps Media Group)
Wayne, IL
- The Lamplight Equestrian Center grounds were immaculate as exhibitors gathered for Equifest I. Blue skies and a light breeze welcomed riders to the hunter ring as they took on the first day of courses. Of the competitors, Amanda Thomas rode four horses to the top of the rankings. Aboard Kapalua in the Performance 3'6" Hunter division, Thomas swept the two rounds over fences, as well as piloting Beyond Time and Catani to the top honors in the First Year Green Hunters. Her success continued into the afternoon when she guided Bonfire to the Pre-Green 3'3" Hunter victories over fences.
The course was designed by Allen Rheinheimer, with fences skillfully placed among the newly installed GGT Footing. The course was arranged in the classic hunt field style where in-and-outs and diagonals were all connected by wide left and right turns at the top and gate side of the ring. Natural woods and painted green-and-white, as well as red-and-white oxers paralleled the ring fences and populated the inner lines while riders jumped a total of eight obstacles to complete the course.
The first division of the day, the Performance 3'6" Hunters, saw Amanda Thomas compete several top mounts against her fellow contenders. Thomas rode Kapalua, owned by Hadley Graham of Chesterfield, MO, and Beyond Time, owned by Samantha Hall of O Fallon, MO, in a battle of the best during today's Performance 3'6" Hunters. It was Kapalua who caught the judges' attention, placing first in both rounds to sweep the over fences. Last Wish, ridden by Amy Farmer and owned by Madision Edwards, took second during the first round, while Beyond Time fell short and took second behind Kapalua during the second round over fences.
"He went amazing today," shared Thomas. "I was so pleased. He was unsure about the footing yesterday, so I was a little nervous how he would do, but he went very nicely and I was so pleased with him."
Thomas continued affectionately, "He is a fantastic horse. He was champion at Harrisburg in 2008-in the Greens-and he's a wonderful horse. He is so sweet in the barn. Honestly, he's my pet."
In the First Year Green Hunter division, rider Amanda Thomas brought two horses to showcase their talents. Beyond Time reemerged from the earlier Performance 3'6" Hunter division, eager to earn his rank. They took first place in the first over fences with a picturesque round, while Thomas' other horse, Catani, owned by Samantha Mccarty of Zionville, IN, took the first place position in the consecutive class, perpetuating Thomas' supreme skills as a rider. Erin Mccabe and Golddigger, owned by Elizabeth Miller of Union MO, held strong throughout the rounds to earn a pair of third place ribbons.
"Beyond Time is a First Year horse with his junior owner, Samantha Hall. He just turned 7 years old, and he is a puppy dog of a pony," Trainer Meghan Trilling informed. "She [Samantha] just moved up from the Large Ponies to him, and they are a great match. He is quiet, safe, easy, and just a sweet horse. He walked off the trailer yesterday and went first and fourth in the Performance Warm-Up, and was first and second today. He doesn't look at the jumps, he's just quiet and a good boy."
In the Pre-Green 3'3" Hunter division, Erin Mccabe proved to be a worthy adversary, placing first in the division's under saddle upon Remy Martin, owned by Nancy Gordon of Ocala, FL. It was Amanda Thomas's outstanding horse Bonfire though, that rose to the top of the leader board with high marks in the over fences to take home the blues. Bonfire is owned by Helen Gilbert of Saint Louis, MO. Sarah Robertson and Denmark took the second and fourth place finishes over fences, while also earning the third place in the under saddle.
"I love this horse show, it's beautiful. The grounds are beautiful, and the footing and course rode great," Explained Thomas. "His [Bonfire] right to left change is a bit hard, but he landed correctly after the first jump and did the change perfectly, so I was so pleased with that. It's his last real thing to figure out, so he rode beautifully. I just looped the reins and put him in a rubber snaffle and he responded well."
Among the other divisions of the day, in Performance 3'3" Hunters, Amanda Thomas rode Confidential, owned by Susan Koedding of Saint Louis, MO, to the blue ribbon in the first of over fences class. Owner and rider, Jill Worman of West Bend, WI, rode Random Harvest to the top award in the second class over fences. Molly Mcadow guided Kenyan, owned by Nina Donnelly of Evanston, IL, to high ranks among the division's rounds, nabbing the second and third place ribbons.
In the Pre-Green 3' Hunters Molly Mcadow returned aboard Barina, owned by Donnelly, and rode to the first and the third place ribbons over fences. Shema with Lynda Zema in the irons capturing the second place over fences today. Shema is owned by Andrea Ferguson, and the hardworking pair of Zema and Shema are sure to return tomorrow with their eyes on the championship.
Equifest I at the Lamplight Equestrian Center started with nothing less than the perfect conditions today, but more is in store for the rest of the week as the hunter action continues. Tomorrow the divisions with wrap up with the championship titles in the Professional Hunter divisions, and riders will be looking forward to the approaching hunter classics, as well as the $5,000 USHJA National Hunter Derby this Friday and Saturday.

Barclays compliance chief slammed by Banking Commission for refusing to take responsibility for string of scandals
The head of compliance at Barclays was slammed by a powerful banking watchdog for refusing to take any responsibility for the string of scandals that occurred under his watch.
Mike Walters stunned the Banking Commission's joint committee by claiming that he was not responsible for compliance at the lender.
The clash came as the former bosses of HBOS – Sir James Crosby and Andy Hornby – were finally summoned to appear in front of the main Banking Commission over their role in its collapse. For the first time it has appointed barristers to help forensically probe the actions of failed bankers.
Stunning: Barclays compliance chief Mike Walters said it was impossible to monitor the firm single-handedly
Chairman Andrew Tyrie said: 'Two of
these men were on the bridge when HBOS failed, when public money was
needed to rescue it and when trust in our banking industry collapsed
almost completely.'
But yesterday it was Barclays' turn to face the music.
As head of compliance at the lender since January 2006, Walters has managed to cling on to his job despite the firm's reputation sinking to an all-time low.
Barclays was fined £290million in
June for rigging interest rates and has set aside £2billion for
mis-selling payment protection insurance. It is also heavily implicated
in the mis-selling of complex interest rate swaps alongside loans to
small businesses. Mark Garnier, an MP who led the interrogation by the
joint committee criticised the bank for its 'atrocious' customer
complaints record. But he focused his attack on the Libor rate rigging.
Damning emails showed how Barclays
traders promised those responsible for setting the benchmark rate
bottles of champagne for manipulating the figures. Garnier said: 'How
did you allow them to be influenced? Where does the buck stop?' Walters,
who heads up a team of 1,300 staff, admitted there has been a 'break
down in compliance and culture'.
But he added: 'It's not the
compliance function's responsibility to make Barclays compliant,'
arguing that it was impossible to monitor the entire firm 'single
handedly'. Garnier said this was a good argument to 'break the banks
Rich Ricci, controversial boss of the
investment bank, admitted there were 'cultural failings' but insisted
most of its staff had 'the right culture and values'.
Questions were also raised about
Barclays' attempt to rebuild its reputation, with Garnier suggesting it
was a 'cynical attempt' to gain more customers. He said: 'The reputation
of banks is shot to pieces.
'Now, if you can be seen to be the most virtuous, you will win the most customers.'

Interest in that movie dropped off the face of the earth about 6 months after the DVD release. That coupled with the poor response to the tv series probably didnt help.
I never did like the show. Thought it was dodgy.

The TV show was awful. I didn't even make it through the first episode. But the movie was pretty good. It did make me sick that it was as big a hit as it was, but it was still good to see an art house movie get wide into the public consciousness.

I'd say it was because all the seemed to be offering that was new was a CD of wedding songs. Not a particularly attractive special feature. There's a commentary on the current release. How much other bonus features really exist for an independent movie that was a surprise hit?

The Aldrich family is planning to celebrate their late son's life with a celebration April 25.
Jakob Alexander Aldrich, 7, lost his three-year-long fight with soft tissue cancer March 24. He died at home with his parents, Jennifer and Dustin at his side.
The community has taken an interest in the family and recently had a fundraiser to help cover some of the medical bills the family has incurred. Jennifer Aldrich announced on her blog today that a life celebration will be held at Schmidt & Bartelt Funeral Home, 10121 W. North Ave.
Visitation will be held from 1 to 5 p.m. , followed by a memorial service. People are asked to wear Jakob's favorite color blue or Brewers or baseball gear.
A community blood drive organized in Jakob's honor will be held from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, April 4, at Roosevelt Elementary School, 2535 N. 73rd St. Jakob attended school at Roosevelt.
Jennifer Aldrich said giving blood would be like giving a last present in her son's memory.
Editor's note: Jakob was the subject of a Wauwatosa NOW article March 5.

Remodeling activity slowed in the fourth quarter of 2005, according to the National Association of Home Builders' (NAHB) Remodeling Market Index (RMI). However, current market conditions, as well as future expectations of the RMI, were still in the positive range for 2005 as a whole, though slightly below the 2004 average.
The RMI measures remodeler perceptions of market demand for current and future residential remodeling projects. Any number over 50 indicates that more remodelers view market conditions as expanding. The current market conditions dropped to 46.6 from 50.9, and the future expectations index moved to 47.5 from 51.8.
"The rise in interest rates has slowed homeowner refinancing, often used to fund remodeling projects," said Remodelors(TM) Council Chairman Vince Butler, CGR, CAPS, GMB. "The less frenzied housing market also contributed to a lowering of market expectations in the final quarter, but we still expect to see solid growth in the remodeling industry in 2006."
Owner-occupied units shifted to 48.9 from 56.2, while the renter-occupied component grew to 40.4 from 37.9. In the futures expectation index, owner-occupied units moved from 55.4 to 50.4, and renter-occupied units increased to 37.8 from 31.0. Remodeling accounts for 40 percent of all residential construction and improvement spending and more than 2 percent of the U.S. economy.
"The market could not sustain the record pace of home sales and housing production recorded in 2005, but we feel that 2006 will be a solid year in the housing sector with ongoing growth in the remodeling industry," said NAHB Chief Economist Dave Seiders. "Homeowner equity will continue to support the industry, and last quarter's rise in the rental components of the RMI bodes well for this year."
Regionally, strong growth in the West was offset by declines in the South, Midwest and Northeast. Current market conditions in the West improved from 56.3 to 58.5 and the future expectations rose from 55.5 to 63.5. The South's current market conditions dropped from 53.7 to 48.0, with the future index moving to 46.6 from 58.0. Current conditions in the Midwest moved from 50.2 to 41.1 with the future index shifted to 46.2 from 51.8. The Northeast's current conditions declined to 41.6 from 43.6 and the future index lowered to 41.0 from 48.2.
The RMI "special questions" section delved into significant problems remodeling firms faced in 2005 and expect to face in 2006, as well as major issues expected to shape the industry within the next 5 years. In 2005, 71 percent of remodelers faced high material costs, compared to 36 percent in 2001. Nearly eight in 10 expect material costs to be a significant problem in 2006. The availability of skilled labor ranked number two, as 67 percent of remodelers faced this problem in 2005, and the same number believe it will continue in 2006. More than three out of four remodelers believe this issue will continue shaping the industry within the next 5 years. In addition, 56 percent believe the aging population will provide strong support to remodeling within the next 5 years.

Mine this trove of trash or treasure of ideas at your pleasure.

After chatting with PoisonAlchemist and others, I decided to re-write this character as a new submission to allow a side by side comparison. Presented here is the new Hunter, co-written by PoisonAlchemist.
One feature of Strolens are our generators, new and old. These let you generate some content or get a selection of existing content. Names, NPCs, Items, etc. Lots of different generators.
The old clock tower stands tall, but the bulk of the uppermost storey is crumbling and unsafe, with gaping cracks in the walls. The metal struts and girders supporting the great bronze bells are still intact, though, and the bells survive. The grotesque gargoyles and arabesques which decorated the original design have either fallen into the street (once or twice a year more bricks fall from the tower, prompting calls for its demolition) or have been defaced, but the main doors to the clock tower are still intact and show signs of being kept in working order. This is the home of The Captains, clad in raggedy clothes, with sooty faces, and perpetually runny noses. But behind each set of eyes is the look of a survivor. They live to stick together and make it through each day. Older than their years in many ways, the friendship they share with each other and Wims ghost keeps the core of a childs innocence and hope alive in each. But they are still very suspicious of outsiders. They are a group of street children who live in the clock tower. Some are orphans, some runaways, and some nomads who occasionally return to their homes. But they're all poor, dirty and perpetually hungry, as well as being wily, unscrupulous and mischievous in a fairly brutal way. Enough of them have suffered at the hands of adults for all of them to be wary of any grown-ups, particularly ones who ask too many questions, although with hard work and a lot of food it might be possible to win the confidence or even the trust of a few of them.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Costumed masses turn out in droves
Some people who go to the Central Canada Comic Con might actually buy a comic book they've been missing in their collection.
Others might go to C4, as it's known, dressed as Batman, or Peter Pan or the Ice King or Inspector Gadget.
Some got to speak to and get autographs from the likes of actor Ron Perlman, who played Vincent in the TV series Beauty and the Beast, Hellboy in two movies, and Clarence "Clay" Morrow in Sons of Anarchy or Walter Koenig, who has enduring fame as Pavel Chekov in the original Star Trek TV show and movies.
Whatever the reason, thousands of people trekked to the RBC Convention Centre Winnipeg for the annual weekend convention -- 34,000 attended last year -- and while it has wrapped up for another year, co-ordinator Brian Mitchell says it has outgrown two floors of the convention centre.
Amazing, since just a few years ago it filled a banquet room in a small city hotel.
The event was so busy on Saturday the lineup to get in stretched from inside the convention centre, through the skywalk connecting it to the Delta Winnipeg, all the way to Cityplace mall. It took until 4:30 p.m. for everyone with a ticket to get into the event.
'We have maxed out the space...This Comic Con is becoming... an international event'
--¬Co-ordinator Brian Mitchell
"We will use all three floors next year," Mitchell, dressed in high lace boots and a kilt, said on Sunday.
"We have just been steadily growing since 1997. Honestly, we even had to put our wrestling ring in the loading dock area this year so we'd have more room for exhibitors."
Mitchell said the event is still two years away from being able to expand into the new section of the convention centre under construction.
Until that time, there are celebrities on Mitchell's wish list -- who he won't reveal -- that he would already love to invite to the event. But he knows at this point there's no room to accommodate the crowds that would come.
"We have maxed out the space," he said.
"This Comic Con is becoming a national and, with our attendance, an international event. Last year we even had a family from Utah come up because of the guests we had."
Courtney Conceicao, dressed as Kagome from the manga and anime series Inuyashu, and her six-year-old daughter, Faith Myrcrak, with a Snow White dress on, said they both had been having fun all weekend.
"This is good, very good," Conceicao said, while Faith chimed in "I go like this all the time" as she opened her mouth into a shocked O.
Conceicao said she had been going to the annual Aikon convention -- Manitoba's largest anime gathering, taking place July 12-14, 2014 -- for the last 15 years and may add C4 to her yearly list.
Both Andrew Bergen, dressed as superhero Blue Beetle, and Michael McMullen, wearing a Mad Hatter constume from the video game American McGee's Alice, decided to dress up this year after going costume-less during their rookie Comic Con last year.
"I now know what it's like to wear tights all day," joked Bergen as he walked through the crowd jamming between exhibitor booths.
As for McMullen, dressing as a character who is unnaturally tall came easily for him.
"I'm a drywaller so I walk on stilts all day anyway," he said.
"It's like my day job, but here I get to wear a tall hat, too."
Jamie Derhak came from Dauphin to give a special thrill to smaller children in the crowd who recognized her as the white-bearded, blue-suit-wearing Ice King from the Cartoon Network's Adventure Time.
"My kids love Adventure Time and we make family costumes every year," she said.
"They also say I'm cranky so I'd make a good Ice King."
Jennifer Chua, with the help of her friend Niki Fourre, made an Inspector Gadget costume to wear, complete with a spinning propeller on her hat and gloves on the end of venting tubes.
"A remote car starter turns on the propeller on my head," Chua said.

Des Moines Register
I wanted to write and tell everyone that things are looking good for the campaign. My grandfather is excited and full of energy due the support that has been shown recently.
I was at his house this morning when he came in and showed me an article written about him in the Des Moines Register. Below is a link to the article:

Official Ron Paul bumper stickers are to be delivered THIS week. If you would like one, please write to:

There was a great immigration comment & concern regarding my grandfather's stance. Though I do no justice presenting my grandfather's message like he does, I hope to clarify his stance in some way.
I hope I can clarify my grandfather's viewpoint on immigration. I can certainly tell you that my grandfather is not against immigration. Legal immigration. He is the grandson of a German immigrant who came to this country to make a better life for himself.
Candidate Selection Quiz and My Recent Thoughts
I was looking through my grandfather's site, www.ronpaul2008, under Latest News and I found a candidate selection quiz. Surprise! When I took the quiz, it showed that my candidate match was Ron Paul 100%.
It was fun to take the quiz. You can take it at:
My family has been very excited about the support that has been generated for the campaign. It will be a tough road, but one that is certainly worth taking.

Ron Paul Honored as "Taxpayers' Friend" for Tenth Consecutive Year
Sierra Times
Washington, DC: Congressman Ron Paul has been recognized as a top advocate for taxpayers in the U.S. Congress for the tenth year in a row, earning the nonpartisan National Taxpayers Union's annual award as a "Taxpayers' Friend†for 2006. Only 30 of 435 members in the U.S. House of Representatives earned similar honors last year.
My Grandfather, The Patriot
I spoke with my grandfather this weekend while he was home in Texas, and I asked him what one thing he would like his supporters to know about what is going on with the Exploratory Committee. His response: Register at www.ronpaulexplore.com with your name and email address to help solidify the base of support that will be needed to win a possible presidential run.
My Grandfather, The Patriot
Who is Ron Paul? –Today, in my blog, I want to tell readers about my grandfather, who he is, and where he comes from.
Ron Paul was born August 20, 1935 in Pittsburgh, PA. His father, Howard, was the son of a German immigrant. Ron's parents owned a dairy just outside of Pittsburgh, and this is where he learned about hard work, integrity, and the value of real money.
