About Will Durst
Acknowledged by peers and press alike as one of the premier political satirists in the country, Will Durst has patched together a comedy quilt of a career, weaving together columns, books, radio and television commentaries, acting, voice overs and most especially, stand up comedy, into a hilarious patchwork of outraged and outrageous common sense. His abiding motto is "You can't make stuff up like this." The New York Times calls him "possibly the best political comic in the country." Fox News agrees "he's a great political satirist," while the Oregonian hails him as a "hilarious stand-up journalist." This former radio talk host, oyster shucker, and margarine smuggler currently writes a nationally syndicated humor column, and his scribblings have appeared in Esquire, George, the San Francisco Chronicle, National Lampoon, The New York Times and scads of other periodicals.

Durst Case Scenario • 11.25.14
You got to love Thanksgiving. You do. It's the law. And be honest; doesn't a little tryptophan poisoning amongst family and friends sound pretty comforting right about now? What with Ebola infested ISIS members slithering across the border carrying photos of Bill Cosby ogling Kim Kardashian's butt?
Your browser does not support the video tag.
Besides, this holiday isn't about greasing the wheels of capitalism with the fire hose of consumer debt like that other one just down the road. This one is about gluttony. Pure and simple. And the only attendant religiosity is praying the Cowboys lose. So allow me to express my gratitude for the 4th Thursday of November: it's annual appearance being one of the little moments that makes life worth living. Right up until the 4th bottle of white Zin, when Aunt Hoogolah informs Uncle Bud how Grandpa characterized his turkey carving and all hell breaks loose. Nevertheless, here's a few more blessed things that prompt this middle-aged, round-headed, political comic to get down on his knees and thank the maker.
Barack Obama. Upcoming 3rd year of his 2nd term promises much bigger, knock-down, drag-out fights with the Republicans. Not to mention… the Democrats.
Chris Christie for so generously providing the comedy community with such a target rich environment including his Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade Balloon Float- the only one which is actual size.
Anchor Steam Christmas Ale. Especially this year.
Hillary Clinton who since 1992, no matter how much effluvium gets thrown at her, just keeps on keeping on, like the Energizer Bunny on steroids.
Ted Cruz for being crazier than Norman Bates after a dip in a psilocybin bath riddled with corn fungus.
The International Panel on Climate Change for finally just throwing up its hands and playing darts while drinking beer on the patio.

From LSD to OMG
Coming to a Theatre near you! Will Durst's acclaimed tribute to the history, growth, joys, achievements, frustrations, fashions and looming doom of the Baby Boom Generation. Ably assisted by his trusty overhead projector, Durst explores the Boomers' revolutions, evolutions and still vibrant role in today's youth-obsessed society, which they invented, for crum's sake. It's a celebration of the maturation of the Boomer Nation and as an extra, added, special treat- the Meaning of Life.
Special Note: Due to the graphic nature and startlingly archaic technology, children under the age of 40 will not
be admitted unless accompanied
by a guardian or bring a note.
We apologize for any inconvenience.

Amalur IP heads to auction this month
Rhode Island is preparing to sell the Kingdoms of Amalur IP, with a website offering its assets going live this month, 38 Studios' court-appointed receiver Richard Land tells WPRI. 38 Studios collapsed in 2012 after launching Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning, taking $90 million of Rhode Island taxpayer money down with it.
The main piece of Amalur up for auction will be Project Copernicus, the studio's MMO-in-progress.
"If someone is thinking that Rhode Island is going to sell this for millions and millions of dollars, I would have a very difficult time believing that," Joystiq News Editor Alexander Sliwinski told WPRI in a Skype interview.
Land is optimistic about the sale: "The bulk of the game and intellectual property I don't believe is stale because the artwork is current, the tech used to develop the artwork is current, the concept is a current concept." Sliwinski warns that the fantastical world of Copernicus may be outdated as the industry shifts into the next generation.
The US Securities and Exchange Commission is investigating the $75 million loan that Rhode Island provided to 38 Studios. Rhode Island taxpayers have already begun paying back the loan.

Amazon finally acquiesced a few weeks ago and released an Instant Video streaming app for regular Android devices. Compatibility is a little limited, but at least it exists now. To encourage customers to use it, Amazon is offering 500 Amazon Coins to anyone who streams something using the app. Free money, yay!
The LG G3 seems to be selling briskly these days, but LG is sweetening the deal a little more for potential buyers in the US. If you pick up a G3 between September 8th (today) and September 22nd, LG will give you a free spare battery and a charging cradle. That's $70 worth of swag, and it only takes a few minutes to get on the list.
Todoist is a simple to-do list manager that syncs automatically across a large number of platforms. The Android app extends much of the service's functionality to mobile phones and tablets, much of which we've detailed in the past. There's Google Now integration, DashClock support, and a clean UI that looks at home on KitKat devices.
But there's a downside. There are no shortage of to-do list apps available for Android, yet since the beginning, Todoist has charged a monthly or annual fee to get access to its full set of features.
In addition to the exhilaratingly named "Android Application Development for the Intel Platform" book that we pointed our eyes toward yesterday, the equally catchy "GUI Design for Android Apps" is also available on Amazon right this moment for the low, low price of free. The book generally goes for $29.99, but now it's being offered for less than a cent to anyone who's willing to consume it on some sort of device. The paperback version is still going for $26.99.
Free stuff is good, and if you're an Android developer looking to get into the Intel dev scene, then there's a free book on Amazon that should be just what you need. It's called "Android Application Development for the Intel Platform" (man I really love catchy book titles), and it's normally $40. The paperback version is still going for $35, but if you can handle reading on your device, the Kindle Edition costs approximately zero monies right now.
Update: The six-month link has now expired. As for the full year offer, well, some existing users are reporting that it isn't working for them either. That promotion is now aimed at new or potential users.
The majority of features that the LastPass password manager offers are available for free, but users still need to go premium for $12 a year to get the full package. That's not an exorbitant fee by any stretch, yet there's a way to put this off for up to a year and a half if you rather save yourself the money.
T-Mobile has really been stepping up the rhetoric against Sprint since the backroom acquisition deal allegedly fell through a few weeks ago. T-Mobile's latest promotion takes direct aim at the Now Network, but it targets the other big carriers too. Starting next week, if you bring a friend over to T-Mobile on a Simple Choice plan, you and they both get a free upgrade to unlimited LTE for one year. Also, there will be awkward dancing, if T-Mobile's promo image is to be believed.
Regardless of whether you use Amazon's app store for Android, there's no denying that a free app every day is a good deal. Of course, sometimes the deals are better than usual. Today's free app of the day is Servers Ultimate Pro, which is normally $8.99.
For those not acquainted with the app, it allows users to run servers from their mobile device, with over 70 protocols supported (see the full list in the app's description), and a heaping handful of network tools.
Quite a while ago, we wrote about an upcoming hands-free (and eyes-free) interface code-named KITT. The interface - intended for use in the car or in other places where looking at your phone isn't wise - would be stripped down, displaying a black screen and large iconography, and would have the ability to read notifications aloud, among other things. More recently, an icon for an app called Google Hands-Free showed up in a promotional gif posted to Google's Google+ page, hinting that the service was still under development.
Update: As it turns out, there's many more where that came from. Carcassonne is part of Amazon's current "Over $100 in Essential Apps FREE Thursday and Friday Only" deal. It's joined by a slew of free apps and games.
There's always a free app of the day in the Amazon Appstore, but sometimes consumers are treated to multiple giveaways on the site at the same time. Today's free app, Sorcery, is joined by Carcassonne, which just happens to be going for the glorious price of $0.00 at the same time.

Anonymous askedWhen I was on a bik... Show more
This made me believe that "place as other" can also exist within "place as home".
When I was on a bike on these roads it was as if I was in a "place as other".
I think it is only a matter of time before this bakery that was once "place as other" will become "place as home", because I visit it on a biweekly basis.
I have really only been to three places far enough away from home that I could say were "places as other"
When there is a group experiencing that "place as other", it feels a lot more comforting.
Even in saying that though, this class has made me curious about random "place of other".• Show less1 answer

- very big room -comfortable bed -big wardrobe -clean
-the hotel is in a very strange place. not nice during the night
The hotel was good value for money and clean.
Did not have coffee/tea making facilities and a bit far from the town.
Close to the pier, clean and very good value for money
There is not much around the hotel
Clean and comfy, especially considering price of hotel.
Friendly and good English speaking personell. Clean rooms!
No elevator. A bit out of the city centre
clean, cheap, nice view,big room
little bit far from the city centre, around local poor people so little bit messy and smelly outside of hotel
good price, clean, and friendly staff.
Far away from the main area, but a nice walk through a park then up the river will get you to the action.
access by road straight forward. good parking. breakfast. and access to town and beaches. 24 hour mini mart over the road .staff was most helpful.
no lift and up three floors was a killer. the sea view was,nt worth the effort . mattress requires thin memory mattress on top.
This was a lovely new hotel. The rooms were spacious and modern.
It was a little far out of town, but if you are on your travels and need to relax for a couple of days, this place is perfect
big room
the worst bed I have slept on in thailand
My stay at Tharapark View was just what I needed comfortable rooms freindly and helpful staff just far enough away from the busy town but close enough to still enjoy it. The park itself is fantastic I went there daily and finished my holiday relaxed, and wanting to stay forever.
Free Wifi in the room and throughout hotel. Staff was very kind and friendly. The room and hotel was very clean.
No coffee/tea in the room. Location....far from many restaurants; Only one beside the hotel.
Good thais restaurant next to the hotel
Staff were very helpful. Room was good value for money.
They offered us breakfast but didn't let us know we had to pay for it.
Excellent for the price. The room was spotless and the service was superb. A bit of a walk from the center but its situated next to a park which is great if you are a jogger and a crossfitter cause it has lots of bars for chins etc. avoid running when it gets dark because theres no sufficient lighting. Hard to find and dont ask for directions cause nobody can read maps in thailand. Its situated right next to the Park thats called just like the hotel TharaPark. Amazing value for money!
far from the center. No elevator.
Best hotel I stayed in during my south Asia travel. Kindness for receiptionnist Cleanness of the hotel Quiet and only 20 min walkway from/to the centre. Night market animated there at the city centre.
The women at the desk need to upgrade their level of English in order to be able to communicate with tourist.
Quiet, clean, bright rooms and helpful and friendly staff.
It was a bit further from the center of Krabi Town than we realized. But once we rented a moped, the problem was solved.
Clean and spacious room.
Poor breakfast. Lady at reception hardly can speak english.
Stayed one night on the way to phi phi. Value for money. Walking distance to ferry and the night marked. Transport from krabi airport was cheap.
Clean, spacious and quiet room. About 700m from seafood restaurants by river.
Bed was hard. Hotel was far from city but there were shops and food stalls around.
Good and clean rooms. Nice staff even if some of the people are speaking a very simple English. Motor-bike to rent at the receptions.
Somehow far from the centre. Car or motor-bike is a must.
1 km walk from Krabi pier for Phi Phi! Great value for money, clean and comfortable.

James Joyner: Washington's Losing Streaktags: foreign policy, Vietnam War, Korean War, Iraq War, James Joyner, Afghan War, National Interest
James Joyner is managing editor of the Atlantic Council.
As we approach the tenth anniversary of the American invasion of Iraq on March 20, it's worth reflecting on the fact that it has been nearly seventy years since America's last successful major war.
On August 15, 1945, known as Victory Over Japan Day or V-J Day, the Japanese unconditionally surrendered, marking the end of the Second World War and establishing the United States as a superpower. Since that day, the United States has lost three major wars—Korea, Vietnam, and Iraq—and is counting down the months until its loss in Afghanistan.
To be sure, we won the Cold War, which was surely more important than those four combined. But that was fundamentally a contest of political systems and economies. We wouldn't have prevailed without a powerful military and a great military alliance with NATO. But it wasn't a war in a literal sense—and we lost the two major wars (Korea and Vietnam) waged as part of it....

Judge sets October trial for FAMU hazing suspects
Updated On: Jun 14 2012 11:06:14 AM EDT
A judge has set an October trial date for 11 people charged with felony hazing in the death of a Florida A&M drum major.
An attorney for one of the people says the trial likely won't start until next year, though, because of the number of defendants and witnesses who need to be interviewed.
Circuit Judge Marc Lubet set the Oct. 8 date during an arraignment Thursday.
Only defendant Shawn Turner was in court because he had not hired an attorney. He was appointed a public defender.
Most of the other defendants waived their appearances.
Champion died in November following what authorities have said was hazing on a bus after FAMU's football game in Orlando.

Former Oxford United midfielder Peter Leven is determined to make a return to football next season, almost 18 months on from his last appearance.
An injury-hit finish to the Scot's spell with the U's, who released him at the end of the 2012-13 campaign, appeared to signal a premature end to his career.
But after taking time to fully recover from the knocks and assess his options, retirement is not on Leven's agenda.
Time spent in the USA in February training with second tier side San Antonio Scorpions rekindled the 30-year-old's de-sire to make a playing return.
He said: "I did double sessions every day for a week.
"I never used to do that back home and it gave me a sense of believing in myself again."
Crucially, there has been no recurrence of the knee problems which hampered him in his time at United.
Leven, whose memorable strike from the centre circle against Port Vale in October 2011 was the highlight of his 67 games in two years with the club, admits his willingness to play through the pain did not help.
He said: "It was like 'if you need me to play, I'll play', whereas some players would take three or four weeks out to get fully recovered – maybe that was my downfall.
"Don't get me wrong, I still have to look after myself.
"I was told to retire at 17 and I'm 30 now. I have still got the same knee I had when I was 17, but I know how to manage myself.
"I've averaged 35 games a season over my career."
Coaching appeals to the former Glasgow Rangers trainee, who already has his UEFA B Licence and will start the A Licence course shortly.
Ideally, he wants to find a player-coach role this summer and is prepared to drop into non-league.
A couple of Skrill Premier clubs have shown an interest, while there are also potential opportunities in the USA and Scotland.
Leven is doing everything he can – even joining Twitter (@peter_leven) – to avoid slipping out of the game for good.
"It's been absolutely horrible, that's why I want to be involved again, in any capacity," he said.
"When you're doing well everyone wants to talk, but when you're thinking what's out there people forget you and don't pick up the phone.
"Football is a tough world and you just need to get on with it and I want to keep going as long as I can.
"I just want to stay in the game, I don't want to disappear out of the back door.
"I've got a lot to offer, on and off the pitch."

Report could bode well for fate of Morganza project
Published: Saturday, December 6, 2008 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, December 6, 2008 at 11:53 p.m.

HOUMA A panel of experts whove spent the last half-year reviewing Terrebonnes Morganza-to-the-Gulf hurricane protection system will finally weigh in on the levee project in a report to be released Monday.
Though local leaders kept mostly mum on the contents of that report Friday, they hinted that they were pleased with recommendations delivered by the review panel, tasked by the state with determining whether the super-levees current path will indeed provide the flood protection promised and avoid harming Terrebonnes sensitive wetlands.
A review of the report will be delivered to the states Coastal Protection and Restoration Authority at their meeting at 9:30 a.m. Monday at the Slidell Municipal Auditorium, 2056 Second St. in Slidell.
Windell Curole, levee director for Terrebonne and Lafourche, said hes read over early reports of a scientist on the panel, and the reviewer understood our situation, and that theyre trying to do the best we can about the bureaucratic problems and the money problems were dealing with.
The report will be favorable, he added.
Morganza, a system of levees, floodgates and a lock on the Houma Navigation Canal intended to protect Terrebonne and parts of Lafourche parish from up to a Category 3 hurricane, has been snarled in bureaucracy for years.
The panel members have questioned project officials aggressively about whether the levee will help to restore local wetlands, whether the alignment, which swoops down to encompass a number of bayou communities, was the best option, and whether local levee leaders were taking to heart lessons learned from Hurricane Katrina.
Theyre expected to hand down a number of recommendations for the project based on those major questions.
The panel was convened by state coastal officials after Morganza came under criticism from scientists who questioned the projects so-called leaky levee design, peppering the barrier with sector gates that would allow water exchange through the levee system in hopes of preserving Terrebonnes acres of wetlands.
The purpose was to provide an independent review of the Morganza project, said Jerome Zeringue, director of planning and programs with the Governors Office of Coastal Activities. This is another opportunity to evaluate Morganza from a scientific and engineering perspective.
The Coastal Protection and Restoration Authority will take the panels recommendation under advisement and continue working to construct this project.
All information and materials presented at the Morganza Technical Review Committee meetings will be made available on the state Coastal Protection and Restoration Authoritys Web site, www.lacpra.org.

Arizona Coyotes
Off the Ice: Miele confirms his own potential
It's official. Hobey Baker award winner and Coyotes top prospect Andy Miele is going to be a part of the roster for a while. With Kyle Turris still a contractual hold-out, the Coyotes had a choice between Petteri Nokelainen and Miele. Nokelainen was dealt to the Canadiens, so it's obvious the team is banking on Miele to come through.
In his NHL debut Sunday night, Miele played on the third line between Raffi Torres and Patrick O'Sullivan. I'm not going to say that I was tremendously confident with Miele going into Anaheim, but I figured he could keep his own. After all, the Ducks third and fourth line are not that experienced.
Here is a breakdown of Miele's ice time on Sunday and some significant things I noticed.
|Lifted a stick to halt a scoring chance, created a turnover after a power play to keep puck in the zone.
|Impressive speed carrying puck into attacking zone. Smart defensive play -- getting deep to gain possession.
|Took dumb hooking penalty. Made up for it with save on the goal line. Likes to skate directly at D-men holding blue line. Will create penalties.
While Sunday was obviously a feeler game for Dave Tippett, it seems like Miele will be held on the third line behind Martin Hanzal and Daymond Langkow, but that could change with an injury. His speed and skill on the puck are NHL-caliber and his size is not an issue. He's not a checking-line center, but could fit nicely there as a turnover threat.
I wouldn't expect Miele to garner a ton of playing time, but he can certainly earn it on a Coyotes lineup that has struggled with offense this season. I'm excited to see what he can do for the Coyotes this season.
EDITOR'S NOTE: "Off the Ice" is a new portion of ArizonaSports.com where Carter Nacke will be covering and discussing the Phoenix Coyotes throughout the season. While the page is under construction, you can contact him at firstname.lastname@example.com, tweet him at @carternacke or follow the blog's twitter feed at @OfftheIce620. Thanks for reading.

Jun 20, 2011May Ryan Dunn rest in peace. He lived doing stupid **** and died doing stupid **** a true inspiration to us all. Nobody is laughing anymore, though.
Dec 10, 2011The most inane, preposterous, pointless, over-hyped and unfunny movie I've seen in a long time. Even if you don't try to take it seriously you can't find any humour present here. At least if you think is funny watching grown men behaving like they were 5 years old, this film is not for you.
Feb 24, 2014Some may like the stupid humor and antics put on by these men, and some will find it tremendously stupid and incredibly brainless. I fit into the second group.
Jackass Number Two is not as original, aberrantly beautiful, unrepetitious, or good as Jackass Number One, yet it will still double a lot of people over with big laughs and grossed-out disbelief.
As merry pranksters they have no match, and as they age (Knoxville is 35 now), they only grow in appeal. As they proudly hurl their tattooed (by ink and battle scars) bodies into harm's way, a devilish glint in their eyes, it's as if they've discovered the fountain of youth, and its name is Jackass.
Just the kind of vicarious excitement for which the movies were invented.

Not just a fair weather fan:
If you're going to San Francisco
Be sure to wear some flowers in your hair
If you're going to San Francisco
You're gonna meet some gentle people there
Well, here you go:
"Sticker Shock: A Corporal Punishment Joke Triggers a Police Decal Purge" by Joe Eskenazi @EskSF
"A goodly number of sports team decals, Grateful Dead imagery, shamrocks, college mascots, skateboard brand insignias, and family crests have since been disposed of."
All right, now let's see the kind of thing that wouldn't survive a flair audit.
First, check out the stealie logo stuck on the magazine floorplate of this SFPD officer's SIG Sauer P220 automatic. Is he assigned to Terrapin Station? Via Xian:
Click to expand.
The above bit of flair could help to conveniently ID different mags, I suppose.
Now, check this out. What do you see?
Can SFPD officers wear hoop earrings while OTJ?
The fashion police say NO:
"5. JEWELRY AND ORNAMENTS (also see DGO 11.08, Grooming Standards). On-duty officers shall not wear jewelry or personal ornaments that are visible except:
a. A wristwatch.
b. A total of 2 rings that are consistent with officer safety. An engagement and wedding ring set will be considered as one ring.
c. A conservative tie bar or tie tack.
d. Female officers may, in addition, wear the following:
1. Hair clips or pins that match the color of the hair.
2. One ear post in each ear. The post must lie flush with the ear and be plain metal, gold or silver colored. The face of the post is not to have a diameter of more than three-eighths (3/8) inch. Nothing shall hang from the post."
Moving on.
Hey look, the SFFD takes a different approach: Flair has been institutionalized.
This was on a ladder truck parked on Fulton in in front of the former "Gabin" prostitution house in the NoPA Western Addition:

It's bad-ass, as you can see.
"Steal Your Face" or "Stealie" skull: Perhaps the best-known Grateful Dead art icon is a red, white, and blue skull with a lightning bolt through it. The lightning bolt skull can be found on the cover of the album Steal Your Face, and the image is sometimes known by that name. It was designed by Owsley Stanley and artist Bob Thomas, and was originally used as a logo to mark the band's equipment.
And oh, feel free to get a tattoo with this logo, if you feel you've earned the right. I mean, they can't take that away from you, correct?
OK, thanks for strolling down memory lane…
As seen in Civic Center back in the aughts:
How will we remember The Aughts? IDK.
This is how I'll remember the aughts, a time when you (well, not you yourself, but some people, well, maybe just one person, for some reason) could easily recover from big, big mistakes like this…
Confession: I still have a pair of Crocs (pink, size XXL, thank you very much) from that time Costco sold a few container ships worth, back in the aughts. Of course they weren't counterfeit, but they were less than $15 and that pissed off the Crocs people oh well.
I'm not sure just how serious this woman was. Maybe this was a Truth or Dare situation…
Anyway, here she is, walking down Polk in the 94109, in the part of town I call the Tenderloin, to the contrary of Randy Shaw, an aging white male lawyer who lives in a mansion in the East Bay Hills and who, for some reason, gets eight figures a year from _San Francisco_ taxpayers to basically run the Tenderloin – it's amazing.*
"Sue Ellen Mischke is Elaine's nemesis whom she calls the "bra-less wonder." Sue Ellen is the heiress to the Oh Henry! candy bar fortune, and has known Elaine since they attended high school together in Maryland. Sue Ellen is portrayed by Brenda Strong.
"In "The Caddy", Elaine is so incensed that Sue Ellen doesn't wear a bra that she gives her a bra as a gift, which Sue Ellen then promptly wears as a top. This causes Kramer to crash George's car when he and Jerry see her walking in her bra down the street. Kramer calls upon Jackie Chiles to help sue. Despite the suit, Jerry falls for her when she comes in his apartment. The courtroom scene that follows is a broad and obvious allusion to the O.J. Simpson trial, which ends when she tries the bra on, which does not fit."
"In the pilot for Happy Days, there is a character mentioned named Sue Ellen Mischke. It is unknown if this name is a reference or just coincidence."
"By the summer of 2008, going "uptown" in San Francisco will mean heading to the Tenderloin."
This was a laughable statement back in 2007, and it came nowhere close to coming true in 2008 or beyond.
And there's this:
The "Uptown Tenderloin" is the authentic historic name for the over 16-block area north of Market Street…"
And to that I say, "Nope! It's not."
Redolent of The New Phone Book's Here, the new MUNI T-shirt's here.

By "new" I mean new to me, as they've been out for a while now.
Have I mentioned yet that MUNI sucks? Forgive me.*
Bonus: Also included in the delivery was a limited edition of SIDE WALKS:

"Side Walks" is a collection of photographs made in downtown San Francisco by Bay Area photographers Chris Beale, Brian Reynaldo Cayetano Jr., Brandon Doran, Troy Holden, David Root and Oscar Santos."
All the deets:

See you there!
*IMO, it's important to point out that "MUNI Sucks" (or something similar, you know, something pithy) right at the beginning whenever the SFMTA or MUNI is the topic at hand. Acknowledging this fact from the get-go tends to make the ensuing conversation more productive. Of course, the SFMTA won't ever shower you with taxpayer money if you even just once point out that MUNI sucks, but at least you'll avoid being like these people:
"…lately. seriously, we haven't received many (if any) "muni sucks/fuck muni" posts or emails…"
Now if you really want to cheer lead for MUNI, make sure you're getting a $200,000 annual pay package first – that's the way you do it.
[UPDATE: Oh, what I meant to say was:
"Local womenswear brand Amour Vert is a favorite for its combination of California cool with French chic—all with a major eco-conscious stamp of sustainability."
OK fine!]
Here you go, here's your new T, straight outta "up-and-coming" Hayes Valley:
You see, it's made out of rayon. Check it.
Here's your release:
"San Francisco-Made Amour Vert Stays Close To Home For Its First Retail Store
SAN FRANCISCO, June 20, 2014 /PRNewswire/ — Contemporary eco-fashion brand, Amour Vert is happy to announce the opening of its first retail store in its home city of San Francisco. With all garments made and designed within a 20 mile radius, the store is the latest addition to the up and coming Hayes Valley neighborhood.
Amour Vert's retail space reflects their commitment to sustainability. The environmentally conscious store features ecological ingredients and co-founders, Christoph Frehsee and Linda Balti employed local contractors and local interior design stores to bring the eco-forward store to life. Bringing the environment indoors, a focal point of the store will be a living wall, which the brand is installing with the help of San Francisco native, model and philanthropist, Lily Kwong. The wall will serve as a nod to "green love" – the English translation of the brand's French name.
About Amour Vert
Based on the principal that women shouldn't have to sacrifice style for sustainability, Amour Vert proves that it is possible to be both fashionable and environmentally responsible. Using the highest quality organic and sustainable fabrics, Amour Vert, offers style and fashion as well as one of the softest t-shirts in the world. Taking its commitment to the environment seriously, the company developed its T(r)EE program, in partnership with American Forests®, planting a tree in America for every purchase of an Amour Vert t-shirt. Based in San Francisco, Amour Vert's products are all hand made in California."
I'll tell you, I don't know how our Austrian "neighbors" make fancy "eco-forward" rayon, but here's how you make regular rayon. Enjoy:

In fact, the Republican party once had a liberal (i.e., left) faction. No more. In 1996 arch-conservative Barry Goldwater reportedly wondered in amazement that he and presidential candidate Bob Dole were by then on the left of the Republican party. Goldwater died in 1998; both parties have since moved much farther to the right. Today, Goldwater would be considered left even for a Democrat.
Over the past forty years America has become much more politically correct with regard to gender and sexualiy. Men do not openly display calendars featuring topless models on their office walls, and public gay bashing is now considered inappropriate, even in Republican circles. But gender and sexuality are issues that transcend social class. Even rich, powerful men have gay children -- or may be gay themselves. Even rich, powerful men have wives.
On every other issue America -- or at least American politics -- has swung violently to the right. The more social class is involved, the further to the right America has swung. Poverty was once a social disease to be cured; it is now an individual crime to be punished. Put it down to individualism, conservatism, neoliberalism, or whatever -ism you want, America is now the world's greatest reactionary force.
Unfortunately, all the evidence is that the rest of the world is following America down the road to perdition. Nowhere are national health-insurance schemes, access to free education, and old-age pensions being expanded. Nowhere is the world moving forward. Everywhere the social gains of the twentieth century are either being eroded or destroyed.

The mid-late twentieth century may or may not turn out to have been the high point of human civilization. Progress may yet return. But if it does, it will not be led by the United States. It will be resisted by the United States. It's up to the rest of the world to provide the hope for the future that once emanated from Washington, New York, and California. Otherwise you will become just like us.

I'm not a great fan of polyester, but I must say that after a shift in this summer heat (well, for Montana it IS hot, but I'll admit, not like other places around), with the UnderArmor heat gear t-shirt, I haven't actually feel most of the sweat until I peel the Armor off...........and about the sniveling comment, I think that Spuk was teasing rather than serious (just my read of him)

Great information gentlemen (even you Spuk). I'm gonna look into some of those options. I'm lucky that I don't have to wear it for a 12 hour shift wearing a black uniform like our PD does, but I am content on wearing it when I'm on "duty". Comforting it is, comfortable it may never be. It is a hand me down vest and a new one (complete with my measurements) has been ordered but not received yet. I'm sure it will still be a sweat fest during the spring, summer, and fall for me but hopefully it'll fit better. I know you LEO get paid and get a lot of personal satisfaction from your work, but I want to say thanks. You probably hardly ever hear that from most of the people that you deal with.

LOL I was kidding... to a point. A ballistic resistant vest is uncomfortable to wear. No matter what you do. My experience is that for a vest to be most effective it should be worn under the uniform shirt. I began wearing an old second chance given to me by my mother in law. This was in 1980. Heavy, stiff, and hot. But I wore it every tour. The city began buying everyone their personal vests some years later. The manufacture came in and fitted the vests to individual officers. They were a lot thinner, and not quite so uncomfortable. We recieved new vests about 6 years later, and new about every six years. My advice is to A) wear the vest, B) get two or three carriers, C) bring at least two clean cotton tee shirts to work every day. Then stop the snivelling and wear the vest!
Our old vests were re-cycled to poorer off shore police departments. One year they went to Puerto-Rico.
Yeah I don't ever expect to forget I'm wearing it, just looking for something to possibly help with sweating other than a balanced diet and excercise.

As some have pointed out, there just is no way to make wearing body armor pleasant in hot weather. I agree with the wearing of wicking synthetic fabrics; they don't retain moisture and dry exponentially quicker than cotton. I personally wear Under Armor Heat Gear Compression t-shirts. At the end of the day, everyone is going to have their own favorite. Regardless of what you do to "cope", just remember it's better to have sweat running down your back and chest than blood. WEAR YOUR VEST, EVERY TIME, WITHOUT FAIL.

I wore one for 20+ years on 12 hr shifts in hot humid FL. They are miserable to wear in that type climate. In the winter they are not bad. I tried all types and brands of undershirts. The wife beaters definitely don't work. I found that that most of the moisture wicking shirts worked about the same. One suggestion I would make is don't cinch the side vecro straps too tight. A gap of dead space between your chest and shirt will allow a very slight amount of ventilation. One other suggestion is to frequently wash the vest carrier (not the panels) in fabric softener. Most guys I worked with (myself included) developed what looked like acne and blisters on our chests from wearing the vests for long periods of time. Good luck!

"I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me" Phil 4:13
I was an inner city medic wearing one every day and night for years. Nothing ever made them comfortable. A few things that helped:
1- Thicker than normal T-Shirt: Wicking is not going to carry moisture from under the vest out side to the the edges as well as many would have you think, but any marginal gain is worth while. Cotton may not wick---but in the event of a fire/flash over, natural materials will not melt to you like poly will. My best under shirts were actually light weight wool. Wool wicks well and stays temperature neutral when wet, plus it does not melt in a fire.
2-use skin treatment--sub-clinical fungus infections and bacterial irritation are the norm--diaper rash cream works really well, so does skin treatments used by cyclists and triathletes (chaffing cream, etc.) powder packs up and cakes up as it get's wet---but a good zinc containing powder will help some as well.
3- wash the carrier--get extra when you get the vest--they are worth it...wash them, treat them. I found that when I washed them, I needed to avoid fabric softeners as that tended to just create reactions and irritate my skin. Just regular detergents also seemed to create additional irritation as they did not wash out well. I used sensitve skin detergent and put the carrier through an extra rinse cycle to flush out any extra chemicals (think hunting gear and getting out all soaps and softeners for smell, only this is to prevent skin irritation.)
4- Please wear the thing---the night you need it--it has to be there.
I just wear a normal tee shirt

Most of the time I wear a cool shirt brand under the vest. Our total black uniforms don't help either in summer sun. Stay in the vehicle as much as possible with the AC vents pointed at you ..
The police are not there to protect you from crime, they are there to arrest the guy after the crime has been committed, assuming they find him. It is your responsibility to protect yourself and your family.
working navy security in nevada we had to wear them. they definitely arent any fun and you're gonna be sweaty, but it is there to save you live so i just learned to deal with it. we had to wear them with out Navy BDUs (NWU) which means pants, long sleeve blouse, and the navy under shirts. i wish we could have been able to try to where navy blue under armor shirts but we had uniform inspections every morning. you get more used to it after time but if you have the option i would try some of the under armor products, they work great.

"A gun is like a parachute. If you need one, and don't have one, you'll probably never need one again."
If your new vest doesn't come with a second carrier, buy one separately. You should change that out and launder it regularly. My Safariland IIIa came with two.

Well I'm not an LEO, I've got plenty of experience running, jumping, and all that fun stuff with "bullet proof" vest. Or more specifically military grade sappy plates and the tighter to your body the better. feel like you can't breath? good and well you'll get used to it, go out with that gear on and train, run around A LOT. Run in the heat with it all on, that's how you get used to it. That's what we do in the marines with our gear. I'm pretty sure my vest with plates weighed somewhere around 70 lbs (size xl). We used to curl, and do other exercises with them during deployments and what have you to make sure we stayed in shape.
Also lets not call them bullet proof, hence the " " above. There are plenty of rounds capable of going through them.
edit: the weight I mentioned is give or take based on the gear that was also attached to the vest at the time. by itself was probably closer to 50.

Finally, I know there have been a lot of rumors this week in the press. Rumors that make me sick to my stomach. As we are filming Season 4 and I can't give too much away, I tried to clear some of them up in my latest blog post on my website at www.melissagorga.co. You will see what really went down in Season 4, so you can decide for yourselves, but I needed to set the record straight, because I can't stand when people lie. I appreciate all of your emails and tweets. Your support means the world to me and my family!
I hope everyone has a magnifico giornata!

Tuna Still Feeling the Effects of Fukushima
It might seem straight out of science fiction, but this story is real – radioactive tuna could be swimming in an ocean near you.
A new study found that after last spring's Fukushima nuclear accident, Pacific Bluefin tuna caught off of San Diego appear to have been contaminated by radioactive materials from last spring's nuclear accident in Japan.
The March 2011 earthquake and subsequent tsunami led to the meltdown of the Fukushima nuclear plant in central Japan. Even now, the only way to enter the zone 20 kilometers around the plant is with special government permission. After the accident, tests showed that concentrations of radioactive Cesium in coastal waters increased up to 10,000-fold.
This study, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, found the same radioactive Cesium in 15 Bluefin tuna specimens caught outside of San Diego. The fish tested showed a 10-fold increase from normal Cesium concentrations, well below the safety limit established by Japanese Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry, and Fishes.
Bluefin are a highly migratory species – they spawn in the West Pacific near Japan, then, once they have matured, may travel more than 9,000 miles to the East Pacific and the California coast. They're such strong swimmers that the trip only takes a few months.
During the course of this trip, the radioactive concentration fell as the fish grew and the Cesium decayed. If they had tested tuna from Japan, the radiation would be expected to be up to 15 times more concentrated, according to Daniel Madigan, Zofia Baumann, and Nicholas Fisher, the co-authors of the study.
Monterey Bay Aquarium's Seafood Watch already lists bluefin as a species to avoid due to severe overfishing and high mercury levels. They're highly valued as sushi fish, which has led to a steep decline in their populations in both the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. Bluefin tuna are slow to mature, and are often caught before they have a chance to reproduce. Oceana is currently working to protect bluefin tuna from overfishing.
