While EA tries to cast doubt on the Videogamer report that the Dead Space franchise has been laid to rest, and that the entirety of Visceral Montreal has been shuttered, Game Informer has caught wind of the news by a former employee, corroborating the Videogamer story that every single person at the aforementioned studio has been made redundant.
A former employee at Visceral Montreal who has asked to remain anonymous has confirmed that the entire studio has been let go. Earlier today an EA representative confirmed that EA Montreal had been subject to layoffs, but wouldn't comment on the extent of the firings or which studios were affected. GI's source's comments fall in line with earlier rumors that Visceral Montreal has been closed entirely following the completion of The Devil's Cartel.
On Dead Space, the word still isn't clear as to what's going on there. Following the reports of the developer being shuttered, EA was lambasted by gamers the world over on forums, and the publisher speedily sent out word that the story was "patently" false. But that's not so true in and of itself, because there's a lot of confusion about the story. EA, however, told Game Informer that Visceral Redwood Shores is part of its long-term strategy, however I can't help but ask if they're only saying this because of the negativity that has consumed the internet over EA's decisions.
We'll keep you posted.

2012 Society of Garden Designers Awards
Winner of the Large Residential Garden Award for a country garden in East Sussex (see portfolio page 'Traditional Terraces' and 'Ways with Water').
What the judges said: "The transformation of this wide-ranging, impressive garden is astonishing. The design showed great spacial sequences throughout and Ian was very sensitive to the surrounding. His design really embraced the extended landscape and rooted the house in the garden. The garden is alive with textures, colour and form, on all surfaces that defined space. Levels are cleverly used, both formally and informally, to maximise the sequence of unfolding views and to blend the varying scales together."
2008 CLCA (California Landscape Contractor Association) Awards
Winner of the Best Landscape Installation in the State of California with contractors Jensen Corporation and Natural Gardens.
Best Overall Project with contractors Jensen Corporation and Natural Gardens.
2008 Bay Area Sweepstakes Awards
Best Overall Project with contractors Jensen Corporation and Natural Gardens.
2007 Sussex Heritage Trust Awards
Winner of the Landscape and Gardens Award for a large country garden in East Sussex (see portfolio pages 'Traditional Terraces' and 'Ways with Water').
What the judges said: "A well planned and executed design that works well with both the house and surrounding landscape. Harmonious materials locally sourced make an excellent framework for the well thought through planting schemes. Comfortable within an outstanding rural landscape yet encompassing some modern planting concepts."
2005 New Homes Garden Awards
Winner of the Best Garden by a Garden Designer and Garden of the Year awards for a large country garden in Hampshire (see portfolio page 'Views and Vistas').
2005 Design and Decoration Awards
Winner of the Garden Design Award for a country garden in West Sussex (see portfolio page 'Country Contemporary').
What the judges said: "Intelligent planting and use of shrubs and trees creates four distinctive areas of the garden which are perfect for the barn and sit well in the existing countryside. A glorious example of freedom, space and pleasure resulted in this win for Acres Wild. "
2004 Design and Decoration Awards
Winner of the Garden Design Award for a courtyard garden in central London (see portfolio page 'City Calm').
What the judges said: "The garden is a perfect complement to the interior of the house, offering calm, relaxed and comfortable space, with a genuine continuity between architecture and landscape. It is a place to live comfortably in, to entertain in and to enjoy.
Other Awards
Other awards include the 2006 and 1999 BALI Award (British Association of Landscape Industries) with contractors The Outdoor Room and Landmark respectively, the first Hampton Court Flower Show (1990) Trophy for Garden Design, a Business and Industry Commitment to the Environment Award and a Phoenix Award for Memorial Garden Design.

Happy Chinese New Year!
Lucky Mia Tindall, Charlie Meade and Laura Tomlinson's bump — this generation of offspring from equestrian (and real) royalty has been, or will be born in the Chinese year of the horse.
If a predetermined equestrian career wasn't already on the cards, surely this is the icing on the cake? We expect they'll be on a horse before they can walk or talk.
And the proof is in the pudding. We've raided our birthday book and found a treasure trove of horsey heroes who were born in a year of the horse.
Take racing's Willie Carson (1942), Brough Scott (1942) and Choc Thornton (1978) — has being born in the year of the horse been a helping hand in their dazzling careers on the track?
Other equestrian household names include eventing's Nick Gauntlett (1978) and Ian Stark (1954), or showjumper William Funnell (1966).
But what is being born in the Chinese year of the horse really meant to mean?
Chinese New Year — for which the main celebrations will happen today across mainland China, Hong Kong, Singapore, Taiwan and other Asian countries — is linked to the Chinese Zodiac calendar, where each year is represented by a different animal.
The belief is that you share the attributes of the animal associated to the year that you were born.
So while you might associate your horse with greed or irrational behaviour, the official line is that if you're born in the Chinese year of the horse, you'll be energetic, bright and intelligent.
Add to that good communication skills, being popular and talented and it looks like you're onto a winner.
But it's not all plain sailing. Those born in a horse year can also be impatient and hot-blooded.
Whether being born in the year of the horse is your ticket to ride round Badminton or not, we'd certainly take it over the year of the pig, rat or ox — and it sounds like a good excuse to have a party.

Wilco's Jeff Tweedy to release solo album
Wilco's Jeff Tweedy is set to release a solo album.
Details of the album are still to be announced, but, Pitchfork reports, Tweedy will be playing songs from the album on a solo North American tour, set to start at Detroit's Masonic Temple on June 5 and finishing up at the Newport Folk Festival in July.
Tweedy will be backed by a new band on the tour, with son Spencer Tweedy on drums, Jim Elkington on guitar, Darin Gray on bass and Liam Cunningham on keys.
Tweedy recently made a guest appearance in US TV series Parks And Recreation. Tweedy appeared as the frontman of a fictional band called Land Ho!, who was lobbied by Amy Poehler's character, government worker Leslie Knope.
Wilco released their latest album The Whole Love in 2011. It followed their 2009 self-titled release.

Ready Check: Lord Jaraxxus {WoW}
Sep 30th 2009 9:37AM As a healer, i think that the most important part is to blast Incinerate Flesh quickly.
The way we found to ensure that this was done quickly was to have healers set a smal thing in healbot.
Under the cure tab, in the middle you have the option to set color to ppl that receive a specific spell. so you create a new custom set for Incinerate Flesh so the person become purple or something like that. That way you will know exactly who is targeted and when you managed to heal through the shield. I found that even if deadly boss mod add a skull...this skull doesn't disapear quickly enough.
This advice is good for any single spell that can put the raid in danger.
I hope this help you guys
Breakfast topic: Has Trial of the Grand Crusader been a reasonable challenge? {WoW}
Sep 6th 2009 9:02AM I must agree with you Matt
To get past all the encounters in 25 man, you will need a lot of coordination, a lot of self-awareness from your team members and a lot of gold for your tanks. We spent a full night to finally down the first boss in the 25 ToC, its only a matter of having everyone doing the right think.
Its really rewarding though to finally be able to pick a picture with boss :)

IPCNY will be CLOSED Tuesday, 01/27/15 due to the winter storm.
International Print Center New York presents New Prints 2014/Winter, on view at 508 West 26th St, 5th Floor, from January 22 - March 12, 2014. The exhibition consists of over fifty projects and was selected from more than 3,000 prints. New Prints 2014/Winter is the forty-seventh presentation of IPCNY's New Prints Program, a series of juried exhibitions organized by IPCNY several times each year, featuring prints made within the past twelve months. An illustrated brochure with a curatorial essay by Madeleine Viljoen (Curator of Prints, The New York Public Library) accompanies the exhibition.
The show was selected by: Noah Breuer (Artist, Professor, Master Printer), Terry Fassburg (Collector), Richard Lloyd (Head of Print Department, Christie's), Mary Newman (IPCNY Board Member, Collector), Andre Ribuoli (Ribuoli Digital), and Madeleine Viljoen. Artists in this show are: BJ Alumbaugh, Frances B. Ashforth, David Avery, Trevor Banthorpe, Jeff Beekman, Brent Bond, Nicholas Brown, Tom Burckhardt, Saul Chernick, Tamar Cohen, Michael Dal Cerro, Tim Dooley,Stella Ebner, Deborah Farnault, Henry Ferreira, Laura Figueiras, Sebastian Garcia Huidobro, Beka Goedde, Brett Groves, John Hankiewicz, Christina Healy, Ben Hilario-Caguiat, Robbin Juris, John Knuth, Jessica Lagunas, J. Myszka Lewis, Kristie MacDonald, Steven Millar, Suzanne Nacha, Elvia Perrin, Bundith Phunsombatlert, Liliana Porter, Jenny Robinson, Stacy Rosende, Rob Swainston, Julia Samuels, David Sandlin, Sara Sanders, Hannah Skoonberg, Ann Stewart, Lauren Thorson, Matt Van Asselt, Mia Westerlund Roosen, DM Witman, and Alison Whitworth. Presses and Publishers include: Center for Contemporary Printmaking (CT), Hole Editions (Intellectual Property Prints (CA), Lower East Side Print Shop (NY), Oehme Graphics (CO), Open Studio (Toronto), Santo Press (AZ), and Tamarind Institute (NM).
New Prints 2014/Winter consists of lithographs, digital prints, silkscreens, woodcuts, site-specific installations, and other manifestations of both traditional and unorthodox printmaking techniques. Highlights include: Bundith Phunsombatlert's Art within One Mile: The Route from Central Park to Brooklyn Bridge, a project that invites the public to embark on journeys to discover the city's public art. Though it was originally site-specific, the piece has been adapted by the artist to fit this exhibition as an inventive wall installation. Matthew Van Asselt's series, Places I'd Like to Park (#1, #2, #3), uses identical screenprints on three different photographs, thus playing with the concept of editioning and varied replication. DM Witman creates celestial night images by working with common slugs and their biological movements. During the night, slugs move along gelatin silver paper in a darkroom and make marks on the paper with their secretions. Ben Hilario-Caguiat creates anime-inspired prints and sculptures, such as the the abstract, aquatint etching dream-world, Ruby. The works in this show address a wide range of styles, emotions and subjects - including memory, architecture, portraiture, and abstraction.

Serving Size : 27 ounces Tofu Light Firm
2/3 cup basmati riceSAUCE:
1 tablespoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons orange juice
2 tablespoons garlic pepper orange glaze
teriyaki baste and glaze
2 teaspoons waterTOFU AND BEANS:
1/2 teaspoon cajun seasoning
oil or spray
6 ounces green beansSTIR FRY VEGETABLES:
2 green onions -- finely sliced
2 teaspoons minced garlic -- or less to taste
1/2 cup sliced zucchini -- thin, half-moon
salt and black pepper
1 cup chopped tomatoes
2 tablespoons shredded fresh basil
water -- water as needed
1. Cut tofu into 2 pieces per serving: 1/2-inch thick by 1-inch wide by 3-inch long (or the width of the tofu block.) Drain tofu pieces flat between towels with a weight for 30 to 60 minutes.
2. Sauce: Whisk together the oil, Worcestershire sauce, orange juice, and glaze [try Iron Chef's Orange Ginger and Sesame Garlic]
3. About 20 minutes before the meal: put rice on to cook (steam or boil).
TIP - For the next steps, you can use the same pan, such as a nonstick flat bottom wok with lid.
4. Trim beans; cut into 1-inch lengths. Cook until crisp tender (4 minutes maximum). Shock in cold water. Towel dry. Set aside.
5. Rub the tofu with a cajun seasoning (Emeril's). Heat a nonstick skillet or flat bottom wok to a moderate temperature. Add oil or spray the surface of the pan. Brown the tofu about 4 minutes per side, adjusting heat to prevent burning. Remove tofu to paper towels to drain. Do not drain the pan.
6. In the same skillet, stir in onions and cook 1 or 2 minutes. Add the garlic and cook 1 minute. Add the zucchini with pinch each of salt and pepper. Stir fry until zucchini is lightly browned.

Chris Brown comeback continues; I.M.P. sues Montgomery County; Radiohead approves of fan-made live DVD
By David Malitz
- The legal wrangling over the the new Silver Spring music hall continues. I.M.P. - the local concert promotion company that owns the 9:30 Club - is suing Montgomery County, Maryland over illegal funding of the new concert hall.
- The Chris Brown comeback continues. A year and a half after his arrest on domestic violence charges, the 21-year-old R&B star is in the country's No. 1 movie, "Takers," and also has the No. 1 song on this week's R&B/Hip-Hop Billboard charts.
- Things are much worse for Brown's "Takers" co-star, T.I. Yesterday he was arrested on suspicion of possessing methamphetamines. Should we have seen it coming? Our Chris Richards interviewed the rapper last month and said he gave sullen, one-word answers -- and actually seemed on the verge of falling asleep.
- Radiohead, always thinking one step ahead of everyone else. The band gave their blessing - and soundboard recordings - to a fan-made live DVD of an August 2009 Prague concert that was filmed by fans on 50 different handheld Flip camera. What a novel idea! What? The Beastie Boys did the same thing four years ago? Eh, still pretty cool.
- The best song of the '90s, according to indie tastemakers Pitchfork? "Gold Soundz" by Pavement.
- Elsewhere in today's Post, a story on former Rolling Stones manager Andrew Loog Oldham, who is still managing rock bands, just now in South America.

I'm a huge fan of the Dine in Dublin initiative, a bi-annual event run by Dublin City BID. So when I got whats turning into my bi-annual invitation to their bloggers lunch I nearly put my finger through the reply button on m phone to RSVP. This time it was in The Exchange Dublin, in The Westin. It's an amazing restaurant that's almost hidden away under The Westin.
We were treated to several different forms of alcohol, all of which I can't remember. Then came their Dine in Dublin menu, a full 3 course meal for only €25! I will admit however, the €25 menu is fairly limited, as sadly nearly half the menu have supplements attached. However that aside, it's still a lovely menu, which I thoroughly enjoyed. I opted to start with the Crisp pork belly with caramelised apples, celeriac and cider butter. For mains I got fairly overwhelmed with choice and ended up ordering the Baked fillet of halibut, potato puree, creamed leeks and baby spinach,clam vinaigrette, and finishing off with a Banana and toffee parfait, buttered pecan ice cream. Overall the food and service was top-notch, if you're looking to spend a bit more then I'd highly recommend trying to get a booking before Dine in Dublin is over.
Being a huge fan of Italian cuisine, when I found out Carluccio's had a Dine in Dublin special for €20 – Starter, Any Pasta Dish & dessert – I really couldn't resist. It's been quite a while since myself and Kevin had last been so I thought we might as well pop in. I managed to nab a table on twitter on Monday morning for a rather early dinner at 6pm Tuesday. I went with my usual Bruschetta, Lasagne and Tiramisu combo, which was fantastic as usual. Being fairly traditional I opted to have a bottle or two of Peroni, something that I only seem to drink either in Italy or in an Italian restaurant. Service & Food in Carluccio's was outstanding. They have an amazing team of staff, who enhance the whole experience. If you're looking for great food, €50 for two including two bottles of Peroni then certainly try make time for Carluccio's.

Vopak takes the quality of it's services very seriously and therefore in the last few days we have – in close cooperation with our clients - executed an initial review of our storage and handling operations at the Vopak London Terminal. Vopak wants to emphasise that all activities were conducted in line with standard procedures and customer requirements.
Early this evening we received a test report from an independent inspection company. Vopak can now conclude that the product as received from one of our customers contains a relatively high level of silicon. This product has been located in four tanks, which are dedicated to one of our clients. These tanks have been isolated.
We have informed the owner of the product, not being the independent oil company Greenergy, and our other clients accordingly. Vopak has and will continue to fully cooperate with any further investigation into the possible cause of this higher level of silicon in our clients' product.
In line with normal industry practice, Vopak as a storage company is not responsible for the quality of products delivered into our facilities.
Products distributed from the terminal have to be certified by an independent inspection company. Vopak's initial conclusion from its investigation is that all products have been certified and that the certification process has been conducted in full compliance with the relevant industry quality standard, BSEN 228. Since March 1, 2007 products leaving the terminal are being tested by all clients on silicon content, in addition to the standard testing procedures.
Further investigations into this issue are continuing and we will provide an update as soon as more information has become available.
Royal Vopak (Vopak) is the world's largest independent tank terminal operator specialising in the storage and handling of liquid and gaseous chemical and oil products. On request, Vopak can provide complementary logistic services for customers at its terminals. Vopak operates 75 terminals with a storage capacity of more than 20 million cbm in 30 countries. The terminals are strategically located for users and the major shipping routes. The majority of its customers are companies operating in the chemical and oil industries, for which Vopak stores a large variety of products destined for a wide range of industries.

I said here recently that I thought kids were hard-wired to be religious. Let me modify that: I think they are hard-wired to believe in heaven. They can't grok death without a heaven to follow.
Let me back up. This Saturday was the "supermoon" full moon. I had put the kids and my wife to bed, then went out to close the back gate and saw the damned thing looming huge in the sky, like a ghost dirigible. So, me being a Dad and stuff like this being my job, I woke everyone up and we walked out on the second floor balcony to see Ms. Moon. After ten minutes or so my wife went back to bed, but the girls and I hung out for awhile, and I listened to all the goofy sh!t that bounces around inside their heads pretty much 24/7.
School. Mean kids. Dinosaurs. Boys. Tornadoes and floods. Cats.
And then we started talking about religion and church. My wife and I are not Christian, nor even particularly religious, but we're pretty open with the girls about their own beliefs, and we go to a Christian Church now and again, especially since the arrival of the Golem.
So we sat on the balcony and talked about things. They asked me what I believe in (we get this question on a pretty regular basis). I said I didn't believe in Jesus as the son of God, though he probably existed and was a great man. I said I believed in heaven in a way, that the atoms of are body will end up as the center of stars billions of years from now and be born again someday as something else. They understand that, but prefer to think of heaven as an actual place, with clouds and angels, pandas and unicorns and a giant Wii with limitless games.
Then they asked me if I believed in hell, and I sad no, unequivocally. I explained that I didn't believe in a God who would punish people just for not believing in him. That people had unequal opportunities to believe.
And they bought it. They almost never turn back on what they've learned in church, even knowing we don't believe it. But they bought the no-hell idea in a flash. There not being a hell seemed as natural to them as there being a heaven.
Youngest said this (and I'm doing my best to present it verbatim): I think people say there's a hell to scare them into doing things. Like, if you don't pray you'll go to hell.
Smart girl.

Kids are the real philosophers. You're doing a great job with yours. I love that you risked the wrath of the bedtime gods to show them the blimpie moon.
The idea of a place for eternal punishment, with nothing else to learn, is one of the more unspiritual devices ever created to control man. - May 22, 2012 at 10:32 AM

I am painting an unfinished wood cornhole game and would like the most durable primer available. I will not be leaving it outdoors, but still want it to be an excellent sealer for moisture. Based on research Zinsser is the way to go, but there are many products and I cannot decide which I should use. I will be using high gloss white paint (undecided as to that one as well) over the primer. Any recommendations are greatly appreciated. |
Follow-Up Postings:
If you really want the best paint, then you should go with Fine Paints of Europe. I don't often recommend FPE because they are really overpriced, but for something like this, it would be a perfect choice. You will want their slow drying oil based exterior primer, whatever that may be followed by their high gloss oil based topcoat...I think that is called Hollandac. The reason you will want to use oil based is because high gloss in latex is still very hard to apply unless you spray. |
- Posted by gabrielle12 (My Page) on Sat, Aug 7, 10 at 23:30
Thanks for your reply, paintguy. I do have one question - doesn't oil based white paint yellow? 21 years ago the kitchen cabinets in our new home were painted a high gloss bright white, which I wanted, but they yellowed within a few months. The painter used oil based to get the high gloss. He did not know they would yellow until he asked the manufacturer about it and was told that was a common problem with oil based paint. He repainted them with a high gloss latex. Thanks again for any input. |
Yes, it is true that oil based paint will yellow. But, high gloss latex is very difficult to apply and you wanted high gloss and you wanted most durable finish so that would be FPE. You could get a semi-gloss exteior 100 percent acrylic paint....that is probably what I would do. I think it is shiny enough, though the cornhole game makers may disagree. Prime with high quality slow drying exterior oil based primer and then topcoat with two coats of finish. There are several good brands. I like C2. |
- Posted by gabrielle12 (My Page) on Tue, Aug 10, 10 at 14:33
What exterior oil based primer do you recommend? Even though oil based, it will not cause yellowing as long as topped with an acrylic paint, correct? Also, I checked the C2 website but they only list latex for exterior, no acrylic. Is there another acrylic paint you recommend? I really appreciate your time and patience with my many questions. The cornhole boards were expensive so I just want to be sure I do it right so as to last. |
C2 'latex' is acrylic. Just make sure that it says 100 percent acrylic somewhere on the can or on their specs. I don't even know if C2 makes any paint that is not 100 percent acrylic. The words 'latex' and 'acrylic' are used interchangably these days, so it can get confusing. True latex paint that are not acrylic may have some vinyl component in them which means they are cheap paints and this will certainly be reflected in the price. C2's DTS (Direct to Substrate) is a good exterior 100 percent acrylic paint and they also have an exterior semi gloss paint I believe. Right, if you prime with oil and then topcoat with acrylic, the yellowing will not be an issue because the primer is covered completely. You can also get the exterior oil based (alkyd) primer from C2. If you can't find a C2 dealer, there is always Benjamin Moore or Sherwin Williams. |
- Posted by gabrielle12 (My Page) on Sun, Aug 15, 10 at 0:18
I had no idea latex and acrylic were used interchangeably; that is definitely good to keep in mind for all future painting. I think I will go the route you recommend. Once again, thanks for all your input. |

Lanvin Fall Winter 2012 Ad Campaign Video: Real People
Lanvin Fall Winter 2012 Full Show
Mademoiselle et Madame
Alber Elbaz celebrated his 10th anniversary at Lanvin a couple of days ago (how fast time flies!). My friend German took photos of Anna dello Russo and moi in our veiled headgear. I'm so glad I bought the veiled beanie at Jil Sander. I wanted to buy the white version but it's going to be a bitch cleaning it because you can't wash the beanie; I don't think a dry cleaner would accept it either…
On me: Jil Sander beanie, Prada shirt, Dolce & Gabbana coat, Giorgio Armani trousers

Lanvin Menswear Fall Winter 2012 Preview
Lanvin Spring Summer 2012 Video
First Look: Lanvin Spring Summer 2012
Here are some photos I took at the Lanvin spring/summer 2012 fashion show a couple of days ago.
More photos to follow. It's currently 4AM in Paris and I have to wake up in three and a half hours. Today is Chanel day!
Dance like the rent is due tomorrow ladies! How spectacular is the fall/winter 2011 Lanvin ad campaign video? Raquel Zimmermann and Karen Elson looks soo chic and badass! I also love Alber's cameo towards the end. A number of fall ad campaign videos are being released lately but the Lanvin one is the best. I love the element of dance, fun and goofiness and cheekiness while the girls (and guys) look incredibly flawless.
The first thing that came to mind when I saw that video was the word 'parody'. Look at what I found on YouTube.
The campaign is desperately begging to be parodied. Go on… go grab your best friend, put your best Lanvin on and dance away. I'm gonna try to do this soon. Mark my words.
Mama Don't Preach!
For our second look, I made Ania wear this stunning satin dress from Lanvin and a pair of Jimmy Choo shoes. I wanted to "break" the outfit by putting her in this Altuzarra nylon parka. The result? Quite badass if you ask me. As a back-up option, I also used this terrific navy cape from Singaporean brand Raoul who is currently invading the online retail scene as of late. Everyone from Luisa via Roma to Net-a-Porter to yes, Shopbop… they're all carrying Raoul.

Now it is $3.49.
Now it is $3.49.
I couldn't get my mind off you all day.

Strange... it actually dropped 10 cents here to $3.39 for a gallon of regular unleaded.
I'll match MY bumfucknowhereville up to YOUR bumfucknowhereville anytime, Peaches.
And it's Janis who does it best.
Just for you:
KCK troll.
^KC, MO troll
LOL girls girls....
Janis does an alright version but I prefer a mans voice singing "Holding Bobby's body close to mine" although the gasoline gargling acid queen was manly looking she still had a 'gruff' feminine voice...
"Lord wont you buy me a Mercedes Benz" was her deal... for me...
Gas is still 3.32
And I love going to the birthplace of college basketball to hear them show out my name... it is inspiring...
Bob just ran out of tampons. Better make a quick trip to the Dollar Store.
$3.49 to $3.59, unless you can get it at the out-of-the-way corporate-only station, where it's $3.39.

$4.05 Mobil/76/Shell (all same price)
$4.09 Chevron
It's receded a bit from prior highs where it hit $4.19... and I still don't blame the black guy

Still around 3.32 but I get a ten cent discount for washing my car at Waterway each month.... still not bad... I know I would have screamed bloody murder then years ago but this aint ten years ago...
Good. It's not his fault. It's never the fault of any president.
Regarding gas prices, metro Chicago is following right behind L.A. - $399.9 is average. Yesterday, I saw a few stations over $400.9, but the week is young. I'm "amused" that our prices are consistently above the national average.
What would Buddah do?
It is always his fault. He controls the entire nation and the economy... he can snap his fingers and lower gas prices to $2 dollars... lulz
I was only kidding
Yea, California prices are always higher because we have strict standards on the grade of gas (which keeps air cleaner), plus a bit more in tax.
Demand is going up. Supply has plateaued.
You do the math.
Zero...just use transport....
CGY your gas prices whether it be diesel or electric are contained in your taxes. I like my transport it has followed me across the nation to 32 states with both dense and sparse population and even took me for a ride on a small island in the pacific...
not that I am against Transport but it doesn't meet all circumstances... AND we are woefully behind creating that infrastructure....
Paid 3.44 earlier today for a few gallons
The media would be going after the President by now for the extreme increase in gas prices if he was a republican.
Paid $3.53 early on Sunday -- saw the price had gone up to $3.69 early Monday morning.
It's $4.15/gallon here... for the lowest. And no I'm not blaming the black guy still... because the President doesn't control the gas prices. The people that bankroll the GOP pretty much do.
$3.69 -- big jump.
Ironically, the numbers all changed the day Senator Wyden was here for a town hall meeting where he related that figures he's seen as part of his energy committee work indicated there was going to be a big jump and there wouldn't be any explanation for it at all, meaning it's almost certainly nothing but speculators using the system to profit off the rest of us.

$3.59 at the BP in Perry Hall, MD
Seems to be hovering around $3.67 for regular. I know the premium is over $4 now.
$3.59, $3.69... wish it was that cheap here lol. That was our low point a few weeks ago lol. Before GOP fundraisers decided to gouge the prices back up lol.
Depends where... some parts of LA aren't rich at all. And a lot of the wealth is still concentrated in a few hands here.
Many stations are @ $415.9 in suburban Chicago. Going up!
Gas prices are like the weather - we talk about them but, nobody seems to solve the problem.

What would Buddah do?
Your buddy in the WH wants a 'gradual adjustment' when we are going through another phase right now. I expect prices to go up and then back down a little.
We're headed for sun, wind, and algae while the rest of the world will use oil. The end of good life in the USA.
Again this thread is about gas prices in our local areas... not Obama. the end of good life int he USA? What kind of generalities do right wingers here use? Nonsense.
$3.69 or thereabouts here.
What we need, to get a grip on gas prices, is some good old fashioned oil company trust busting ala Teddy Roosevelt...he was a republican wasn't he?
Reducing demand on oil is the only solution, e.g. increased fuel efficiency.
There has been no global growth in oil production since 2006, and there never will be again. Don't be fooled by announcements of new oil discoveries; most of them are only enough to satisfy global demand for a few weeks. No bandaid, such as busting big oil, is going to reduce prices.
Steady at $3.49 a gallon unleaded regular.
Springer, stop with your ODS. You're off topic.
I work more than one job because I actually enjoy the work I do [at least my "part-time" jobs]. You would need at least a household income of $80k to live "comfortably" in MA which is easier than it sounds. Fuck, I actually suggest that people come work up in MA for a decade or so and earn a shit ton of money and then move to a "lesser" area. I chuckle over the fact that I could pretty much buy a McMansion in Georgia for $300k and that would barely get you 1Ksqft in the Boston area.
$3.55 here.
I couldn't get my mind off you all day.

Q: Why does a male dog lick its genitals?
A. Because it can.
Q. Why do oil companies raise prices?
A. Because they can.
What would Buddah do?
Ahhhhhh but why do Oil companies lick dog genitals?
Inquiring minds want to know!
Well, as someone living in the Republic of Exxon, let's not excuse them just yet.
seems like everyone is saying how prices are static
uh uh
I paid $4.21 today
and the god damn squeegy had dirt on it - so when i "washed" my windows i actually was smearing dirty water all over my car - life is good
So instead of jacking off to images of non-existent non-fuel powered cars -- where are the solar or wind powered home water heaters or easy to install passive solar home heating units?
price is still $3.69
when Obama finishes his golf lessons with Tiger and says no to the XL pipeline -- you'll be able to watch the price explode.
Again with failed swings at Obama... have anymore naive swings to take at him? The XL pipeline would do next to nothing to reduce prices. This country is already producing more and more of its own oil... the issue is refinery production.
All republicans want is to destroy the environment by proposing a pipeline that would have next to no impact on reducing priecs. Yeah.. Get real.
Oh I have... I know for a fact that there is no case to be made against me. Try again... maybe bring in some actual substance.You might want to take a look at your previous posts on this thread.
it is truly hard to fathom how someone can be so unaware
i posted a link from nbc news - now one from abc news

This isn't me mining information. This is me being more coherent "buzzed" than many people are sober.
If you didn't drive an SUV that mandates you use "premium gasoline", I am sure your gas price would be lower. I will at least admonish that said SUV is not a gas guzzler [I prefer reversing the noun 'guzzler' only when modified by "cum"] that gets less than 20 combined MPGs.
The intent of the Keystone Pipeline will not do anything to alleviate gas prices, chance1 and Jack_Springer.
As the economy gets better, gas prices get worse. When the economy gets worse, gas prices get better. At some point between $4.50-$5.00 range, gas prices begin to choke the economy. Until we remove ourselves from the dependency of oil (not just foreign oil), we will never escape the vice grip of gasoline prices.
Fortunately, the Obama Administration has mandated higher fuel efficiencies for vehicles. So we may inevitably pay for higher gas prices, but they will be offset by driving vehicles that drive further on a gallon of gas. As we continue to build new solar and wind energy power, we will use less oil and gas to power our electricity. These are all ideas proposed by the Obama Administration.
We must abandon oil. No matter how much less gas we use here in the United States, or how much we produce, it won't matter. China and India will consume every barrel of oil we don't consume, plus more. There is no U.S. economic policy when it comes to oil that will bring down oil prices. So long as China and India's economies continue to grow, we will see 2.5 billion people exponentially use more oil every year.
This is the reality we live in. That is mathematical fact based on 2.5 billion people needing oil versus the 330 million of us. The demand for oil has only begun. Any status quo of pumping out more oil and refining it for gasoline to drive our economy is irrelevantly suicidal.

When we last left off with Project G-Body in March, Joey was about to pull the trigger on a Grand National. Three months later, the Grand National is home, and nearly in showroom condition.
Tag: g-body
"Dude, everytime I get back in this car, it reminds me of how great new cars are. In the Grand National, if I turn the A/C on, the engine starts bogging."
Poor Joey.
After Joey and I sat down and tallied up all of the costs of our proposed Monte Carlo G-Body project; crate motor, upgraded cooling system, differential, engine accessories, transmission not to mention bodywork, interior refurbishing, brakes, suspension and all the other fun expensive stuff, we decided to abandon the project. Instead, Joey's getting a Grand National.
An impromptu dinner meeting with a friend last night led talk of a possible G-Body project car (and two very bored girlfriends). Joey, who has long wanted a G-Body Monte Carlo, asked what it would take to make a cool street car out of an old G-Body car, like a late 1980's Chevrolet Monte Carlo SS." It can't be that hard," I said. "Can't you just drop in a crate motor from GM Performance Parts?"

Just when we thought we'd had enough of the celebrity-designed products, we spot a Japanese celebrity who's very proud to design for a brand of sanitary napkins.
Osaka comedy star Naomi Matsushima only wants to make the monthly ordeal of the Japanese women a little bit more pleasurable that's why she gladly accepted Procter & Gamble's offer to design "Whisper" napkins.
The Japanese actress created star-printed and camouflage designs for Whisper's limited edition of "Silky Soft Slims". I don't know how a bunch of colourful napkins could ever make the pain of monthly period a "happier" experience. Maybe P & G took its inspiration from band-aids. A beautifully-designed band-aid over a wound really does make the painful experience a whole lot cooler.
The celebrity-designed sanitary napkins are available for the Japanese market by the end of this month.

Memorial service at Westhall Village Hall unveiling plaques dedicated to the memory of the men who lost their lives in two United States Army aircraft that crashed in Westhall parish in the Second World War. Reverand Des Kelly taking the service.
Wednesday, June 25, 2014
Two Suffolk air disasters were recognised yesterday during a dedication ceremony.
Two plaques were unveiled in the village of Westhall, near Halesworth, to recognise two plane crashes in the village during the Second World War.
On June 25 1944, a B-24 Liberator had a problem with its engines and was making its way to Holton Airfield in order to land.
When it was coming in over the village it clipped a tree in the garden of Mill House. Out of 10 people on board, only two survived.
The following year, on March 24, another plane carrying nine people on board crashed in the village. Only the pilot and co-pilot survived. Everyone that died was American.
David White, who organised the event as part of the Community Council with Halesworth Airfield Museum, was at the event and said: "It was excellent. At least 100 people turned up.
"We had a service out on the street and a dedication, and then a fly past from a Mustang.
"We also had the honour guard from Lakenheath.
"We didn't know what number to expect.
"It was way beyond our wildest dreams."

Yesterday was a big day for genome research in Seattle.
Bill Gates opened his wallet for the UW again, announcing the largest private donation ever made to the UW, or to a Northwest school.
On the other side of the country, a prominent genome researcher brought to the UW by an earlier Gates gift was given one of the most prestigious awards for inventors.
Gates, UW administrators and other genome researchers hope more big days will keep coming for Seattle and the UW.
The $70 million gift from Gates to build a new genome-sciences building and bring 14 preeminent genomics experts to the UW ought to help.
"It is an incredible vote of confidence for the UW," said Regent Sally Jewell. "More important, for the future of the region, for genome sciences and in general."
What could affect the Puget Sound's future is the number of spinoff companies created from the increased amount of research in genome sciences.
"I think you'll see, on a relative basis, a significantly greater number of spinoffs," said Regent Jeff Brotman. "In order to have spinoffs, you have to have research and you have to have research facilities."
Brotman wasn't alone in his optimism.
"I think that the potential is enormous," said Dr. Robert Waterston, Gates' chair of the Department of Genome Sciences.
Gates' support of genome sciences at the UW did not start yesterday. In 1991, he donated $12 million to create the Department of Molecular Biotechnology -- a precursor of modern genomics. The Department merged with the Department of Genetics in September 2001 to form the Department of Genome Sciences.
One genome all-star, Leroy Hood, was lured to the UW by Gates' early gift. He left the California Institute of Technology to found the UW's new department.
Hood, 64, was honored yesterday in Boston with the 2003 Lemelson-MIT Prize -- the largest cash prize awarded to inventors.
Hood is being recognized for his enduring contribution to biology and genetics, namely for inventing a gene-sequencing machine during his time in California, aiding the timely completion of the Human Genome Project.
The award, named after the late inventor Jerome Lemelson, was established in 1994 to give prominence to inventors and encourage young people to become inventors.
Hood left the UW in 2000 to found the Institute for Systems Biology in Seattle. Feeling constrained by the bounds of academia, Hood established the non-profit institute to pursue research interests that would be better served in a private setting.
When Hood departed from the UW, he left behind a legacy and not a vacancy. Hood's presence helped establish the UW as an institution on the forefront of genome research. In 2001, the National Institutes of Health granted the UW $30 million for the foundation of two of three national "centers of excellence" in genomic science.
The UW has long been at the forefront of genome research and played a critical part in the achievements Gates mentioned. A team of UW researchers, led by Dr. Maynard Olson, were part of the Human Genome Project, which recently finished decoding the building blocks of human life.
Olson, Waterston and Dr. Philip Green all worked on the project and were given the Gairdner Award. Eight awards were given to researchers on the project.
Green, a professor of genome sciences and computer science and engineering, came to the UW in 1994. He is excited to see the results of Gates' gift.
"The building alone will have a huge effect on research. It will allow our department to expand, it will increase the number of faculty and researchers," said Green. "We are in an interdisciplinary field, and being able to bring in additional faculty from various disciplines will enable us to push the field forward more quickly."
Of the $70 million, $60 million will provide the first chunk of the $150 million the building is slated to cost. It is planned to be built at the corner of 15th Avenue Northeast and Northeast Pacific Street, near the Physics-Astronomy Building.
The announcement of the new building comes after the Board of Regents approved a $51.7 million, 35-year lease of the Blue Flame Building on the south shore of Lake Union to provide research space for the School of Medicine. Microsoft's other founder, Paul Allen, owns the old Washington Natural Gas building.
Yesterday's gift, which came through the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, falls inline with the foundation's focus on global health. The gift will lead to strides in bettering the world's health, the foundation hopes.
"Advances in genomics hold great promise for improving health in the developing world. Now that the human genome has been fully sequenced, important work lies ahead in turning this achievement into improved health," Gates said through the foundation's Web site.
Yesterday's gift brings the grand total of donations from the Gates family and the foundation to the UW to $151 million, said Connie Kravas, vice president for development and alumni realtions. Two buildings on campus already bear the Gates name -- Mary Gates Hall, named after Bill Gates' mother, and William H. Gates Hall, the soon-to-open law-school building named after his father and member of the Board of Regents. The law-school building involved a $12 million donation from Gates, while the renovation of Mary Gates Hall took $4.7 million, which included audio and visual upgrades.
The co-founder of Microsoft has left an impression on the University, UW officials said, and a mark on the future of large-scale private giving.
"It is nothing short of phenomenal. We are very fortunate to have this family in our community," said Jewell. "They set an amazing tone for philanthropy."

Comedian Frank O'Donnell says the Thanksgiving eve is traditionally a good night for comedy shows, perhaps because it's the evening before a holiday. This year, he wanted to do something different at Catch a Rising Star, the comedy club at Twin River in Lincoln.
So O'Donnell, who refers to himself as "talent wrangler" for the club, came up with "HA HAs for the TA TAs," a benefit show to help fight breast cancer, with proceeds going to the Gloria Gemma Breast Cancer Resource Foundation. "I'm always looking for new things, and I liked the idea of helping a good cause," O'Donnell said.
The show featured five female comedians from Rhode Island and southern Massachusetts who have played at Catch a Rising Star in the past: Amy Carlson Pontes, Maya Manion, Sarah Blodgett, Niki Luparelli and Jennifer Munroe-Nathans.
Pontes, who is midday DJ at WWLI-FM, has been doing standup comedy for about four years. She's also in an improv group, called The Speed of Thought Players. "I enjoy getting up [on stage] either way, as long as people are laughing," she said.
She said the cause is important to her: "I don't know a woman who doesn't know someone, a relative, a friend, who hasn't had to deal with breast cancer," she said. In her case, a grandmother, an aunt, and her best friend's mother all battled breast cancer.
"This will benefit a good cause — and you're gonna laugh," Pontes said. "It's a win-win."
There's another little-known benefit. According to Pontes, laughter burns calories, so people who went to the show could eat more at Thanksgiving without gaining weight.
Cosponsoring the show is Athena's Cup, a charity established by Athena's Home Novelties in Woonsocket. Athena's Cup is trying to raise funds and awareness about breast cancer by creating the world's longest chain of bras.
The current record is 169,000.
Anyone who donated a bra to the cause received a free product from Athena and a drawing to win free comedy and concert tickets.

Re: 7th chestnut
Yo, the two guys who claim I lifted stuff from books and magazines are just trying to enrage me. My insanity is my own. My Miki Dora post was to give claim to the man, myth and legend. Everything has already been written about him. I just verified that his predictions were spot on. There was no theft of intellectual properties. They will get theirs.
Re: 7th chestnut
wooof wooooff
Re: 7th chestnut
And what is up........I don't know about down south but these dudes claiming this storm isn't going to generate surf in Jersey are KU Kuu. WHy would anyone think anything of Saturday.....but waves will pick up Sunday night into Monday. You don't need websites on the east coast 98% of our waves are from local storms......if the winds switch onshore and blow over 10mph for a period of time...there will be waves..It's pretty simple actually....Everybody trying to get the exact size two weeks in advance...That's crazy.
Re: 7th chestnut
**** yeah, the waves were fun as **** today, Monday. 3-5 foot ......this flat spell pumped my sandbars up. Jeez If I just wasn't banned from from Swellinfo......the world would be just great.
Re: 7th chestnut
HA just read that North Jersey sucked on President's Day........South Jersey, especially the south facing beaches, were fun as hell. Solid 3-5' at my damn spot........one dude even had trouble getting out. My sand bars are working.......picking up that swell. ****
Re: 7th chestnut
Oh this is a page just for me to talk to myself. If anyone should discover this.......move along. I need some intelligent conversation on this site without interuption from dudes who can't get out of their wetsuits.
Do you know, Bill, that many people on this site don't like people from PA.....yet they frequent a site operated by a PA dude. Go figure. I love PA.
Again this page is only for me to talk to myself. No interlopers..............Unless you have a present for me.
Re: 7th chestnut
Dude. Yeah what's up? Oh man, it was fun today......Cleaner than I expected........Tide a bit deep but it was on the way out throughout the shred fest....
Oh no ****?
Wow man, that's fantastic......
Dude that guy who was out with you kills it, huh.
Yeah he's good man, cool guy also......
Re: 7th chestnut
**** man......Weird day, huh? Yeah. You got up all early and **** and EVERY news station in the area, the weather channel, every surf prognosticator was incorrect. But you knew that could happen right? Oh, sure...sure...sure....So much for those strong ESE-SE winds, the mother switched NE......then it was supposed to go hard SW,,,,then I heard W...then SW in the morning........now not till afternoon.....You have to respect when mother nature tells you to suck on it, ya know. Totally dude.
You going out today? Yeah, not until an hour before dark. I like sunset sessions and I haven't had one in a while. So whatever the waves are, they are..
Hey dude? Yeah. A lot of these cats on here have been making excuses from paddling out all week. First they ***** there aren't waves.....then we get waves and something's not right preventing them from going out. Dude, you know 50% of these dudes aren't core. At least 50%.........And is Monmouth County really that crowded? All those North side guys keep complaining about crowds....or maybe it's Bruce Nihil that's got them all upset......I don't know, dude...I don't know.....
Re: 7th chestnut
Ah man....there's a wind out there today huh?
Man, I paddle out Friday night at 5:00 and catch one wave - a crossed up 5 footer - and man it starts flashing lightning. Now, I always hate leaving the water because of that ****. So, I'm wondering and CRACKLE...so.....I said \"truck it\" and went in. Then I wandered around The Golden Nugget for an hour.
Got some this morning...better than I thought.........It would have been pretty fun if the winds weren't so damn heavy or if they would have gone NW.........

Odyssey TriHot #3 ($225)
The Odyssey TriHot putters from Callaway, which have been deployed on Tour by Colin Montgomerie and Paul Lawrie, are made primarily of milled carbon steel plated with dark nickel, a combination that makes the putters' surfaces gleam. A heavy-tungsten flange running low across the back pulls about 30 percent of the putter head's weight away from the face, which helps create a low center of gravity and promotes topspin. The white insert on the clubface is made of a polyurethane compound similar to that used in Callaway's CTU 30 and HS golf balls. You won't hear a "plink" sound at impact, but the insert material seems to provide a quicker, more responsive rebound than does the material used in some other Odyssey putters. Call 800-228-2767 or visit odysseygolf.com
John Byron Broom Handle Long ($200)
When the company spokesman describes a putter as "wickedly cool," you know that you're dealing with Californians. John Byron turns out a limited number of machine-milled, hand-finished putters, some of them-such as the Broom Handle line-distinctive for their massive heads. The MidBroom Handle ($250) has a stainless-steel head weighing 375 grams, while the one on the carbon-steel Broom Handle Long weighs 450 grams. The heads are a good match for the pendulum motion long putters require, and a double-cavity pocket on the back maximizes the club's toe-heel weighting. Call 714-536-0634 or visit johnbyron.com
Scotty Cameron Studio Stainless Newport 2.5 ($325)
The latest line from Titleist's putter mater is called Studio Stainless-all four models are milled from billets of soft stainless steel in variations of the company's popular heel-and-toe-weighted Newport head design. In crafting his latest iteration, Cameron relied on feedback from some of the game's top talents; last year, players using his putters won three of the four majors and twenty-four Tour events. The elegant Newport 2.5 version has only a slight offset compared with the other three signature-series models, which have plumbing-style necks. The putter is low slung, seeming to lie flatter on the turf than other putters-ideal for players who like to feel as if they hit up on a ball, imparting extra topspin. Call 888-324-4766 or visit scottycameron.com.
Carbite Golf RH-1 ($320)
Carbite Golf steps into the luxury putter market with this milled-stainless-steel model designed by Rick Hamilton, who worked next to Scotty Cameron at Ray Cook. Sealed cavities in the toe and heel contain tungsten weights, creating balance to help correct mis-hits. The club has a traditional squared-off look that enhances confidence at setup. The face features a subtle swirling crosshatch pattern and produces a nice percussive sound at impact. Call 800-272-4325 or visit carbitegolf.com.
Porsche Design PD12 ($250)
Porsche Design brings the same flair for high-tech linearity to its golf clubs that the car company (a corporate cousin) brings to automobiles. Its new PD12 putter features lines on the face that are milled, the company says, within a tolerance of .001 inch. "It's all about making a putter the best it can possibly be," says chief club designer Paul Heffernan. The sole plate, face and back of the head are highly polished, but the top line is dampened to prevent distracting reflection at address. Porsche's putter has a nice feel and provides a solid pop at impact. Call 888-881-8944 or visit porschedesigngolf.com.
Taylormade Rossa Tour Maranello ($275)
Rossa is TaylorMade's new company-within-a-company, and it debuts with two lines of putters: Sport, featuring twelve cast models, and Tour, with eight forged and milled models. ("Rossa" means red in Italian, reflecting the country's art and design influence.) The putters all contain red-tinted inserts made from a patented material dubbed Titallium, which is alloyed from seven metals and produces a firm, smooth feel on contact-the muted but distinctly metallic ping emitted at impact is the product of years of research. The mallet-style Maranello sets up comfortably, and three scoring lines naturally draw the eyes down the target line. Ernie Els and the estimable putter Loren Roberts are just two of many Tour players who have been using the Rossa. Call 800-888-2582 or visit rossaputters.com.
