MOSCOW, Nov. 30— Responding to Russian complaints of rude treatment by consular officers at the American Embassy here, Ambassador Thomas R. Pickering said today that he had taken steps to improve the visa application process.
Mr. Pickering said he had brought in specialists to monitor the "comportment and deportment" of officers as they conducted interviews, as well as Russian-language experts to study their "use of language."
Mr. Pickering said the embassy had introduced an express line for some applicants to speed the process and to make it less stressful. In an experiment, a handful of accredited tourist agencies will be allowed to apply for visas for their business travelers, he added.
To underwrite some of the costs of a new computer system for issuing and checking visas, the State Department has begun charging Russians a $20 fee for each application, effective today. Up to now the visas had been free. A single-entry visa now costs $20, while a multi-entry visa costs $120.
The dispute over the conduct of American consular officers worsened last month when Georgy Grigorenko, the son of a well-known dissident, was denied a tourist visa to visit his dying stepmother. Washington reversed that decision.

PS: I encourage everyone who has something to say to leave a review. I read everything, though I might not reply to all. If you have suggestions, ideas, go ahead! These games are made for YOU, people!
One last note: If you really like the game, or you need help or get stuck, I encourage you strongly to sign up to our forum:
You can discuss builds and tactics, or make suggestions (that actually get listened to!), and stay informed about the progress on our future projects! See you there!

UDPATE (NOW LIVE!) Game has been patched according to user suggestions:
- Battles now run significantly faster.
- Block can only be used twice on your bar, but the cool down has been decreased.
- Paladin's Shield now has a much longer cool down.
- Rock Golems can no longer use Suppression. Health decreased, damage increased.
- Blade Shaman's heals now have a larger cool down, and he can no longer regen focus.
- All the audio is now in sync with the subtitles.
- You can now Re-Spec 5 times a day instead of once.
- Veradux's "Re-Energize" ability now only applies a buff that restores 10 focus per turn, so when he casts it on a target with full focus, you still get 90% of the benefit.
Noted Criticism (But will not be updated for Sonny):
- More sound controls
- Manual control over AI
- Item bug in inventory
- Smarter AI
- More animation variety
- Better storyline
- Non linear gameplay
- Better Cutscenes
- Better AI

I've been bitching to everyone about quality and putting effort into their flashes. This game is perfect. I have never played a flash game this good. This had a Ninety-Nine Nights feel to it. I loved it. You should write a sequel.
You're gonna' get...
You're gonna' get front page and your score is currently 4.42 and that means if your score rises a little, (as it usually does on the front page) you'll have the best submission on newgrounds ever.
Congratulations, my good sir!
Hey! You're the guy from the one of the "My Newgrounds" Flash! I remember your name. Good stuff!
Love it!
This is not what i expected when i read "in the shoes of a zombie" but this game is great. I stayed up playing til 2:30 in the morning playing it. i dont like how the cut scenes are little though, but still awesome.
Yeah, I wanted to be more Kafka about it, but in the end I decided to make him fit more of a Hollywood hero archetype. Do tell me what you DID expect though, I'm very curious to hear!
Sorry you didn't enjoy the cut scenes. I made them, and I am very bad at making animations, so for the next project, I'll have a real animator working his magic on it!
- Krin
this is an awesome game =o
this game definitely deserves more then a five :)
also, there seems to be some sort of bug or something when getting items from battle. happened the two times i got something. i'm gonna restart and see if i get the items this time =x
I'm glad you like it! If you find out more about this bug, please PM me with some more information, describe what happens etc. I'll squash it.
- Krin
This is one of the better RPG-style games on Newgrounds. It manages the feat of being complex but easy to learn.
I got stuck eventually (with the Samurai on the beach), but I saved my game and I'll keep working on it. This is one of the best games on Armor Games. I expect it to move to the top of both sites soon. Great work.

Audience Reviews
The story is basically ridiculous, it's scary but kinda annoying..
- citawijaya, Saturday, August 15, 2009
Finally I have seen a film that all my friends here on Flixster have watched. I think I am rating it a little higher then most of my friends, but I for one did enjoy this movie, I am not sure if its because I have spent time down in Louisiana or the fact that I like the bayou, or the fact that the little twist at the end got me. Most films I can figure out but this one GOT ME. Enough said you have to watch it to figure that out. The plague's really caught my interest, the river of blood, the frogs falling out of the sky, which no one seem to bring up, they just brought up dead frogs. Idis Elba played an excellent part, He was better in the HBO Series the Wire. oh by the way I am one of those religious freaks but I do enjoy horror and everything else I watch. I have to give this one a 4 stars and I will add it to my collection.
- bbcfloridabound, Friday, April 17, 2009
It's hard to put my finger on what's wrong with this movie, but there seems to be something a little off. Which is a shame, because the idea behind it is a pretty good one, really. An ex-theist has dedicated her life to debunking religious superstition and phenomena and comes upon a town where apparently the ten plagues are apparently afflicting the area. I like the whole Rosemary's Baby/Wicker Man element to this film, but I think that the effects and character designs weight down this movie and lend it an inescapable ugliness. The performances by the actors are also a little off-putting, making an otherwise interesting story seem cheesy. This movie does succeed however in being relatively scary, even for a rather jaded horror fan.

Hey everyone, how's it going? I have been experiencing some difficulties with the BrewR App on my android phone. Just did an update and have the newest version available. I've been having the problem of the OG, IBU's, SRM and FG's always showing in RED, indicating that the beers stylistic parameters are not correct. It does this for all my original recipes and the store bought brew kits from Northern Brewer I have punched in. At first I thought maybe I was entering the info in wrong, so that's why I entered about 4 or 5 different pre-made kits from Northern Brewer to see if it was error or the apps. The ABV is always way too low or way too high, never on mark. For instance, the Irish Red Ale I brew from time to time is usually always on mark, right around 4.92% when I do a hydro reading but when I type the recipe info into the app, it always says the ABV will be 2.84%. I find this extremely strange. I am entering the recipes in exactly as they are printed with the kits and as well as with my original recipes that have turned out great besides this app telling me the recipe is wrong. Maybe I am doing something wrong that I am not aware of? Any help or enlightenment on this will be greatly appreciated. Thanks and cheers!
Have you looked at batch size / boil volume values? Do they correctly reflect what you are making? Also make sure you have the correct recipe type selected. E.g. Extract if you are making an extract kit.
Yes, I make sure I select the right batch size and boil volume values. I also have selected the correct recipe type and selected Extract, Partial Mash, etc. I think I may try uninstalling the app and downloading it again. Maybe there is a glitch with my particular phone?
Please post (or email me to feedr.dev at gmail dot com) the recipe or few that you're having a problem with.
By the way you can use the "Share" option in the app (via Cloud sync or just as plain text if you haven't been using the sync).
I uninstalled the app and re-downloaded it and is still having the same problem. Anyway, here is the recipe that is giving me the most problems. This is Northern Brewer's Irish Red Ale. It comes out great each time I brew, just doesn't add up correctly on the app.Irish Red Ale, extract with specialty grains. 5 gallon batch. SPECIALTY GRAIN - 0.5 lbs Belgian Caramel Pils - 0.25 lbs Briess Special Roast - 0.125 lbs Belgian Biscuit - 0.125 lbs English Chocolate Malt FERMENTABLES - 6 lbs Gold Malt syrup HOPS & FLAVORINGS - 1 oz Willamette (60 min) - 1 oz US Goldings (30 min) YEAST - Dry Yeast Alternative: Danstar Nottingham Ale Yeast. Optimum temp: 57°-70° F. 60 minute boil with 2.5 gallon boil volume.
I get perfect Irish Red Ale style match when I enter this recipe in BrewR as follows: Irish Red Ale Recipe specifics: Style: Irish Red Ale Batch size: 5.0 gal Boil volume: 2.5 gal OG: 1.048 FG: 1.012 Bitterness (IBU): 19.3 Color (SRM): 12.1 ABV: 4.7% Grain/Sugars: 6.00 lb Light LME, 85.7% 0.50 lb CaraPils, 7.1% 0.25 lb Special Roast, 3.6% 0.12 lb Biscuit (Belgian), 1.8% 0.12 lb Chocolate Malt (British), 1.8% Hops: 1.00 oz Willamette (AA 4.5%, Pellet) 60 min, 10.3 IBU 1.00 oz Kent Golding (AA 5.1%, Pellet) 30 min, 9.0 IBU I suspect you might be selecting a wrong ingredient for the base malt "Gold Malt syrup". This is what's commonly known as Liquid Malt Extract (LME) with "golden" color (SRM is between 4-5) and should be selected accordingly.
Ok thanks. I'll try switching that over and see if it helps. When I type it in it gives me an ABV of 2.7%. I did punch in my Dunkelweizen recipe earlier and it came out perfect on the app. Thanks for the help
Ok, that was the problem. The Gold Malt Syrup was switched to Light LME on all the recipes that have that in it's grain bill and everything is perfect now. It was all user error. LOL I will be more patient next time and try other options. Thanks for the help.
Hi, when I use this app it does not have any calculations for the yeast used, whatever is entered it always has the same FG result and ABV. Is this only in the demo version or is it the same in the full version? Thanks

4 Hot Stocks the Crowd Is Talking About
BALTIMORE (Stockpickr) -- Put down the 10-K filings and the stock screeners. It's time to take a break from the traditional methods of generating investment ideas. Instead, let the crowd do it for you.
From hedge funds to individual investors, scores of market participants are turning to social media to figure out which stocks are worth watching. It's a concept thats known as "crowdsourcing," and it uses the masses to identify emerging trends in the market.
Crowdsourcing has long been a popular tool for the advertising industry, but it also makes a lot of sense as an investment tool. After all, the market is completely driven by the supply and demand, so it can be valuable to see what names are trending among the crowd.
While some fund managers are already trying to leverage social media resources like Twitter to find algorithmic trading opportunities, for most investors, crowdsourcing works best as a starting point for investors who want a starting point in their analysis. With that in mind, today we're taking a look at some of the most active stocks on the market.
ZaleNearest Resistance: $21
Nearest Support: $20.85
Catalyst: Acquisition Jewelry stock Zale (ZLC) is up more than 40% in this afternoon's trading, after news hit that the small-cap firm was being acquired by Signet Jewelers (SIG - Get Report) in a deal worth approximately $1.4 billion. That's an offer price of $21 per share for ZLC, a target price that currently leaves a tiny 0.52% risk premium left over in shares. So even though ZLC gapped up hard on the news today, the technical story doesn't really matter any more in this trade. The money has already been made on the ZLC side of things -- and the 52 basis points left in shares really only leaves room for professional merger arbitrageurs, not retail investors.

The production team had to rent the storage unit for over a year just to keep the same unit for use in the brief scene in this episode. The money pile had to be rebuild and according to Vince Gilligan and Michelle MacLaren, it was quite expensive to get that scene.
The decision not to film the shooting spree near the end of the episode was not to save money and/or time. Vince and Michelle note on the podcast that the scene is really about Lydia and it actually looked better on the script to not show the shooting spree. Interestingly, the bus was found at a junkyard and brought to the stage set. The production team created the inside of the bus and a large structure to film it from all angles. The outside shot was filmed at a location and was another concrete basin.
According to the podcast, both Thomas Schnauz and Vince Gilligan said that one of the hardest things to write this season was the confrontation and consequences of Skyler meeting with Hank to discuss Walt. The writing team went through hundreds of scenarios in the process of selecting the most dramatic course of action.
The crew had to create the playground that Jesse ventured off to in this episode because there was actually no park there. Also the location with a hill was actually surprisingly hard to find in the city because ABQ is really flat. Michelle MacLaren used brought in the technocrane again to get another interesting camera angle: filming Jesse straight down while he lay on the turning glider.
Entering the GPS coordinates into Google (+34° 32' 57.00", -106° 36' 52.00") appears to be located on an abandoned street. 24 Recato Loop, Belen, NM, 87002. According to Vince in the podcast, they were originally going to use a To'hajiilee location, but didn't want fans to go over to the reservation where they filmed the scenes. Therefore, the GPS coordinates are said to be Q Studios in New Mexico.
This episode was dedicated to Thomas Schnauz Sr., the father of one of the show's writers.

My wife took a trip to visit her two sisters recently, and before she left town I printed out copies of an old column for her to take to them.
Along the Sterling Highway in Soldotna at the Kobuk Street intersection a recently renovated building is the new home to three local shops - Chez Moi Boutique, Northern Roots Salon and Orange Poppy.

NEW YORK - As filmmaker Doug Block sat in a coffee shop talking about his "112 Weddings" documentary, a stranger interrupted him to talk - at great length - about the state of her marriage.
After dropping my wife off at the Atlanta airport recently, I walked around in the terminal until her plane safely took off. I noticed two things that all the other people and I did not have in common. First, they were in a hurry and I was not.

Definition of Carotene, betaCarotene, beta: An antioxidant, a substance that protects cells against oxidation damage which, it is thought, can lead to cancer. Beta carotene is converted, as needed, to vitamin A. Food sources of beta carotene include vegetables such as carrots, sweet potatoes, spinach and other leafy green vegetables; and fruit such as cantaloupes and apricots. Excessive carotene in the diet can temporarily yellow the skin, a condition called carotenemia, commonly seen in infants fed largely mashed carrots.

The bimonthly U.S. international affairs journal Foreign Policy has just published a survey of the world's top 20 public intellectuals and the first 10 are all Muslims. They are certainly an interesting group of men (and one woman) but the journal's editors are not convinced they all belong on top. In their introduction in the July/August issue, they wrote: "Rankings are an inherently dangerous business." It turns out that some candidates ran publicity campaigns on their web sites, in interviews or in reports in media friendly to them. So intellectuals who many other intellectuals might have put at the top — say Noam Chomsky or Richard Dawkins — landed only in the second 10 or in a much more mixed list of post-poll write-ins.
A silver lining to the Dutch anti-Islam film "Fitna"
There seems to have been a silver lining to the Dutch anti-Islam film "Fitna" that far-right PVV party leader Geert Wilders released in late March. We noted already the strife that many people feared didn't materialise. Now the country's National Coordinator for Counterterrorism says the long debate about the film actually brought Christian and Muslim groups closer together.
Muslim scholar responds to "Sharia smear" against Obama
Two recent op-ed articles in the United States presented Barack Obama as a "Muslim apostate" according to "Muslim law as it is universally understood." Since Muslims were bound to see him as an apostate, they argued, the potential next president could be seen as "al Qaeda's candidate" because Islamists could whip up popular anger in the Muslim world by portraying him as a turncoat heading a Western war against Islam. He also risked assassination, one suggested, because Muslim law considers apostasy a crime worthy of the death sentence and bars punishment for any Muslim who kills an apostate.
Modernity meets monasticism in Egypt's desert
Egyptian scholar Nasr Abu Zayd looks back without rancour
"Religion has been used, politicised, not only by groups but also the official institutions in every Arab country … Nearly everything is theologised — every issue society faces has to be solved by asking if Islam allows it. There is no distinction between the domain of religion and secular space."
Amr Khaled sees good side of Danish Mohammad cartoon row
The Danish caricatures of the Prophet Mohammad were widely condemned in the Muslim world and led to violent protests, attacks on embassies and even deaths. Even in recent days, they have continued to stir more protest (in Pakistan) and create security problems (in Afghanistan). They have set off a kind of "clash of civilisations" with a Muslim side denouncing them as blasphemy and a western side defending them as freedom of speech. The whole dispute has been extremely polarising.
Egypt outlaws protests in places of worship
Egypt's parliament has passed a law criminalising protests in places of worship, a measure the government's opponents see as part of a wider pattern of reining in popular opposition.
Strong words, raw nerves in Catholic-Muslim relations
The nascent Catholic-Muslim dialogue sparked by the "Common Word" initiative was never going to be easy, even under the best of circumstances. There is a lot of suspicion, misunderstanding and different agendas to deal with. And then there are the surprises that can come seemingly out of nowhere and blow the effort off course, at least temporarily. One of these was the baptism of the Egyptian-born Italian journalist Magdi Allam by Pope Benedict that popped up by surprise on Saturday evening and highlighted some of the twists along the path of inter-faith dialogue.
Vatican baptism raises questions about Catholic-Muslim dialogue
Just when relations between the Vatican and Muslims were improving, Pope Benedict has taken a highly symbolic step that could set them back again. On Saturday evening, at the Easter Vigil Mass, he baptised seven people including one of Italy's best-known Muslims. Magdi Allam, the new convert, is deputy director of the Milan newspaper Corriere della Sera and an outspoken critic of radical Islam. The Egyptian-born journalist, who has lived in Italy since his university days, was one of the few Muslims who defended the pope after his controversial Regensburg speech in 2006. Allam's outspoken articles have already prompted death threats from Islamists and he lives under constant guard. Announcing the surprise move only an hour before it took place, the Vatican stressed the Catholic Church had the right to baptise anyone who wanted to join it and that all were equal in the eyes of God.
Osama, Benedict and the Mohammad cartoons
In his latest video, Osama bin Laden charges that the reprinting of a Danish caricature of the Prophet Mohammad amounts to a new crusade against Islam led by Pope Benedict. Complaints about the reprinting of the cartoon, sparked by death threats against the artist who depicted Mohammad with a bomb in his turban, have been spreading in the Muslim world. This seems to be the first time, however, that the pope has been linked like this to the cartoons. We have the news story and a security analysis. This post is simply to point out this curious twist, given the fact that the Vatican's top official for relations with Islam was recently in Egypt and issued a joint declaration with al-Azhar University denouncing media attacks on religion.

Study: Down Syndrome Births Up
A new study finds that there has been an increase in the number of children born with Down syndrome. One reason for the increase may be that women wait longer to have children, which increases the chances of a child being born with Down syndrome. Another could be that more families choose not to terminate a pregnancy.
Copyright © 2009 NPR. For personal, noncommercial use only. See Terms of Use. For other uses, prior permission required.
MELISSA BLOCK, host:
Here in the U.S., new research is surprising experts on Down syndrome. The study in the journal, Pediatrics, finds the number of children born with this syndrome has increased.
NPRs Joseph Shapiro reports.
JOSEPH SHAPIRO: The conventional wisdom was that because there's more prenatal screening, the rates of children born with Down syndrome was dropping. But the researchers found the numbers went up about one percent a year between 1979 and 2003.
Dr. ADOLFO CORREA (Epidemiologist, Federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention): It went up by 31 percent, from nine per 10,000 births to 12 per 10,000 births.
SHAPIRO: Thats Dr. Adolfo Correa. He is an epidemiologist at the Federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and co-author of the study. Correa says the main reason for the increase is probably the fact that more women wait longer to have children.
Dr. CORREA: The prevalence of Down syndrome is five times higher among births to women who are 35 years of age and older.
SHAPIRO: Theres another reason rates may be up and that may be the higher visibility of children with Down syndrome themselves. They live longer and healthier lives. They get surgery for the heart effects that are common for about half of them. They go to their local schools and some even go on to community college. Many get regular jobs.
Ms. CYNTHIA KIDDER(ph): In my community, which is a pretty upper-middle class suburb of Detroit, Jordan is now working in a very public setting.
SHAPIRO: Thats Cynthia Kidder talking about her 20-year-old son, Jordan. Hes got Down syndrome. He graduated from his neighborhood high school a year and half ago. And three weeks ago, he started the job on the loading dock of a nearby store.
Ms. KIDDER: He's at a department store where people see him come and go. He loves to go to Starbucks. He rides his bike. Other friends like him are out at the Pistons games. Theyre coming and going in such normal never-miss-a-beat fashion, that it is becoming more accepted. There are many more positive experiences to look around and see.
SHAPIRO: So, Kidder thinks people who know her son, if they ever get a prenatal diagnosis that indicates Down syndrome, are more likely to carry it through with the pregnancy. Still, Dr. James Egan says these are very difficult decisions.
Dr. JAMES EGAN (Maternal Fetal Medicine Specialist, University of Connecticut): Its something that I think most mothers dont expect when they come in for an ultrasound or when they have a blood test looking for women at greater risk for Down syndrome. Most of the results are normal. Most of the results are reassuring.
SHAPIRO: Egan is a maternal fetal medicine specialist at the University of Connecticut. His own research shows the number of babies born with Down syndrome has held fairly steady. Still, its far fewer than expected, given that so many women are giving birth at later ages.
Dr. EGAN: Because our maternal population is aging, we would've expected more than twice as many Down syndrome babies in 2006 as in 1974. But we have only a slight increase.
SHAPIRO: The reason seems to be that there are better and more accurate diagnostic tests. Doctors now recommend that all pregnant women get tested for Down syndrome, not just the older ones. And new tests can check even earlier, when it is easier to end a pregnancy.

Lady Hagen Women's Vienna Sleeveless Golf Polo
Great Product
This golf polo was a great purchase. It is light weight, breathable and does not wrinkle after washing. Bright color doesn't fade and the shirt keeps its form.
January 15, 2015
Cool shirt for a hot round
The shirt is very comfortable and the size very true. The lightweight fabric will keep me dry on the more humid days.
December 15, 2014
Top as Described
Proper fit. Washes nicely. Comfortable. I wear under sweaters now, and I will wear alone in the summer.
December 4, 2014
I love the fit!
This Lady Hagen shirt is so comfortable and very functional for me. It keeps me cool when I play and the material is so nice! I would recommend this product! I have purchased several Lady Hagen golf shirts and just love them all!
September 28, 2014
Love this shirt!
This shirt is awesome. I have it in 5 of the available colors bc it's just throw on & go!
September 23, 2014
Love the fit!
The reason I like this sleeveless polo is because of the fit. I am about 5' tall and generally wear petite clothing. I purchased the x-small and it is perfect because it isn't too long. Often the tops hang so low that they cover up my skort or shorts. I have a Callaway sleeveless polo and it hangs about 2 inches longer than this Lady Hagen. This top falls just where it should! The price was great too so I bought two!
September 21, 2014
Basic shirt
This shirt does not have much style but for the price was an ok purchase. It's boxy but seves the purpose. True to size.
September 19, 2014
Great shirt
Bought two of these in different colors. Great quality. Runs pretty true to size. Washed great. Bought at a very discounted price and was pleasantly surprised at the high quality shirt. Fast shipping from Dick's.
September 18, 2014
Great shirt and great price!
Wonderful and great fitting. Highly recommend Lady Hagen to all golfers!
September 18, 2014
Great sleeveless white golf shirt!
Finding a white only shirt is a challenge and to find this one that is comfortable and lightweight is fantastic!

Will Murray ever win a clay title?

Murray on clay - Did he really improve? What's wrong with him?
Pre 2011 showed up an Andy Murray who couldn't really play big matches on clay.
Here in MTF, we all remember his loss to Kohlschreiber after receiving a WC, but that wasn't his only disappointing result on clay. He lost in Rome vs Monaco in 2009.
2011 was a different story.
A really different story...
Semis in Montecarlo - Defeating players like Stepanek and Simon and winning a ser over Nadal.
Semis in Rome - almost winning over Djokovic (champion), getting into a 3rs set tiebreak and serving for the match.
Semis in Roland Garros (He didn't defeat any good player here, but still...)
Some people thought 2012 was Murray's clay year.
But, he lost in Montecarlo vs Berdych, in Barcelona vs Raonic and now in Rome vs Gasquet. He didn't reach a SF of any tournament.
So, discuss:
- What's wrong with Murray?
- Did he really improve in 2011?
- What's gonna bring the future?
I do not support Pere Riba.

Packer Shoes x Sneakersnstuff x Reebok Question "Token 38″ by Patrick Johnson 2 Comments
July 16, 2013 BY Brendan Dunne / 3
Allen Iverson in the Air Jordan XI? LeBron James in the Reebok Question? No, these aren't some alternate universe "What If?" scenarios we're dreaming up-these actually happened. Sometimes when you think about your favorite signature athlete it's easy to forget there was indeed a time before they were on contract, before they were being paid millions to rep a certain shoe. This collection of shots from Complex captures some of those moments, even dialing things way back with some classic MJ-not in Jordans shots. Take a look after the jump at a few samples from their list and tell us if any others come to mind.

Adelans, France, 12 pm
We could all use some more of these right now:
In case the Dish doesn't go ahead, I have an eggcorn to share. My wife and I both work, so we have a nanny for our two kids. We live in SE Asia, and our nanny speaks English fairly well, but it's her second language. Instead of belly-button, she says "belly-bottom", so now my 3 year old does as well. It makes me smile every time.
Another kiddo:
My 9-year-old niece, who arrived from Thailand only six months ago, is determined to learn English. When her father said she and her mother could go to the store without him, she replied, "No, that is something we should do threegether." (Not "together.")
And another:
This just happened and it's too cute not to share. My five-year-old son is into bluegrass, particularly the banjo.
[Re-posted from earlier this week]
One of the things I've always tried to do at the Dish is to be up-front with readers. This sometimes means grotesque over-sharing; sometimes it means I write imprudent arguments I have to withdraw; sometimes it just means a monthly update on our revenues and subscriptions; and sometimes I stumble onto something actually interesting. But when you write every day for readers for years and years, as I've done, there's not much left to hide. And that's why, before our annual auto-renewals, I want to let you know I've decided to stop blogging in the near future.
Why? Two reasons. The first is one I hope anyone can understand: although it has been the most rewarding experience in my writing career, I've now been blogging daily for fifteen years straight (well kinda straight). That's long enough to do any single job. In some ways, it's as simple as that. There comes a time when you have to move on to new things, shake your world up, or recognize before you crash that burn-out does happen.
The second is that I am saturated in digital life and I want to return to the actual world again. I'm a human being before I am a writer; and a writer before I am a blogger, and although it's been a joy and a privilege to have helped pioneer a genuinely new form of writing, I yearn for other, older forms. I want to read again, slowly, carefully. I want to absorb a difficult book and walk around in my own thoughts with it for a while. I want to have an idea and let it slowly take shape, rather than be instantly blogged. I want to write long essays that can answer more deeply and subtly the many questions that the Dish years have presented to me. I want to write a book.
I want to spend some real time with my parents, while I still have them, with my husband, who is too often a 'blog-widow', my sister and brother, my niece and nephews, and rekindle the friendships that I have simply had to let wither because I'm always tied to the blog. And I want to stay healthy. I've had increasing health challenges these past few years. They're not HIV-related; my doctor tells me they're simply a result of fifteen years of daily, hourly, always-on-deadline stress. These past few weeks were particularly rough – and finally forced me to get real.
We'll have more to say – and we're sure you will as well – in due course. I particularly want to take some time to thank my indispensable, amazing colleagues in a subsequent post. For the time being, auto-renewals have been suspended and the pay-meter has been disabled. While we're in this strange, animated suspension, I just wanted to take one post to thank you personally, the readers, founding members and subscribers to the Dish.
It's been a strange relationship, hasn't it? Some of you – the original white-on-navy ones – went through the 2000 election and recount with me, when I had to explain the word "blog" to anyone I met; we experienced 9/11 together in real time – and all the fraught months and years after; and then the Iraq War; and the gay marriage struggles of the last fifteen historic years. We endured the Bush re-election together and then championed – before almost anyone else – the Obama candidacy together. Remember that first night of those Iowa caucuses? Remember the titanic fight with the Clintons? And then the entire arc of the Obama presidency.
You were there when it was just me and a tip jar for six years, and at Time, and at The Atlantic, and the Daily Beast, and then as an independent company. When we asked you two years ago to catch us as we jumped into independence, you came through and then some. In just two years, you built a million dollar revenue company, with 30,000 subscribers, a million monthly readers, and revenue growth of 17 percent over the first year. You made us unique in this media world – and we were able to avoid the sirens of clickbait and sponsored content. We will never forget it.
You were there when I couldn't believe Palin's fantasies; and when we live-blogged the entire Green Revolution around the clock for nearly a month in 2009. You were there when I freaked out over Obama's first debate against Romney; and you were with me as I came to realize just how deeply wrong I had been on Iraq. But we also fought for marriage equality together (and won!), and for a new post-Iraq foreign policy (getting there), and for legalizing weed (fuck you, Hickenlooper!). We faced the brutal reality of a Catholic church engaged in the rape of children, and the bleak truth about the United States and torture. And I think we made our contribution to all those struggles. The Dish made the case for Obama in a way that actually mattered when it mattered. I think we made the case for gay equality in a way no other publication did. And we lived through history with the raw intensity of this new medium, and through a media landscape of bewildering change.
I want to thank you, personally, for the honesty and wisdom of so many of your threads and conversations and intimacies, from late-term abortions and the cannabis closet to eggcorns and new poems, from the death of pets, and the meaning of bathroom walls to the views from your windows from all over the world. You became not just readers of the Dish, but active participants, writers, contributors. You trusted us with your own stories; you took no credit for them; and we slowly gathered and built a readership I wouldn't trade for anyone's.
You were there before I met my husband; you were there when I actually got married; and when I finally got my green card; and when Dusty – who still adorns the masthead – died. I can't describe this relationship outside the rather crude term of "mass intimacy" but as I write this, believe me, my eyes are swimming with tears.
How do I say goodbye? How do I walk away from the best daily, hourly, readership a writer could ever have? It's tough. In fact, it's brutal. But I know you will understand. Because after all these years, I feel I have come to know you, even as you have come to see me, flaws and all. Some things are worth cherishing precisely because they are finite. Things cannot go on for ever. I learned this in my younger days: it isn't how long you live that matters. What matters is what you do when you're alive. And, man, is this place alive.
When I write again, it will be for you, I hope – just in a different form. I need to decompress and get healthy for a while; but I won't disappear as a writer.
But this much I know: nothing will ever be like this again, which is why it has been so precious; and why it will always be a part of me, wherever I go; and why it is so hard to finish this sentence and publish this post.
Many, many readers have asked that core question since Wednesday's post:
You're just done? Everyone? Chris and Patrick and the gang aren't holding down the domain? We could learn to love them; they seem like smart, dedicated folks. They lack your endearingly fallible, sometimes hysterical, always entertaining voice, but give them a shot, a trial run, something.
Another is more direct:
Please keep the Dish going without you. I'm in tears over the possibility of its ending. You've got the team, don't you? PLEASE find a way!
You don't owe me or other subscribers anything; you owe something to the creation that is the Dish. Keep it alive and figure out a sane way to remain involved. The community is ready to make this work.
Another notes:
Andrew, I remember you writing that you hoped that the Dish could continue and grow even if you moved on. I truly believe it could, can and will. Please let it try. It's too important now. It's not just about you and your blogging; it has grown bigger than that. I believe your "baby" can survive with you occasionally helping from afar.
How another reader puts it:
Your writing drew me here. Your team kept me here.
Another makes a compelling case:
Andrew, Chris, and the gang, are you ready for the next asshole who's going to try to convince you to keep this thing going? Maybe the stress of running a company such as this, and blogging every day, is just too much. Maybe your staff has already landed new jobs in other places. Maybe The Dish has become a chain around Andrew's leg. Maybe the blog has to completely die for Andrew to truly break free.
Screw that. Let's talk about options for keeping The Dish alive and thriving.
There is a problem: Andrew needing to stop blogging (I understand and immensely respect this), and there are various solutions. Shutting down the blog completely is only one solution. In my selfish opinion, it isn't the best solution. This blog is an institution. It can very easily live on without Andrew. That isn't meant as any sort of insult. It is to Andrew's credit that he has assembled a staff as talented and competent as he has.
Is Andrew the only one who needs to temporarily/permanently cease blogging, or have the majority of you all had enough? Is the grind too much for any normal person? If Andrew needs to stop, but the rest of you have any desire to continue on with this publication, why not make it work?
How about "Andrew Sullivan, Blogger Emeritus"? He can still break free completely. I mean completely. No day-to-day responsibilities. Not even weekly or monthly. Keep the mind on writing essays or books or anything he wants. Chris, Patrick, or Jessie can step up and steer the ship. Or bring someone else in for that role. Andrew will still own the blog, even in silence, kind of like Forbes or Bloomberg or plenty of other media entities with a founder's name. Letting this blog die is a colossal waste of influence and talent. And you're throwing away money that you don't have to. I really think you can have it all.
What you've all built is unprecedented and cannot be replicated. I would give almost anything to have the opportunity that you have. You think you've reached the end of the road, but you haven't. There are still so many possibilities, from content to contributors to engaging readers in creative ways to innovative revenue streams to strides you can and should make on the technical/design side. Don't go work at other places. Stay here and make this website even better.
With all that said, what are the odds of being convinced to change you mind based on an email from an almost total stranger? I'm placing in at 1/1000. I'll take it.
But another asks a key question:
Are you, or your team, unsure about continued subscriptions in your absence?
Yes, we have wrestled with that uncertainty for a while. One encouraging sign from a reader:
Like so many others, I will miss your voice when it leaves the blog. But if this makes you happy, I'm happy for you. And I will look forward to whatever new form your voice takes from here.
But I was also looking forward to renewing my Dish subscription. I went in for $250 last year and I was thinking $1k this year. I'll up that to $5k if it will help your team keep the business running, even if there's no Andrew here anymore. You can count on me to support whatever the next thing is.
Another gobsmacking gesture from a reader:
TL;DR Version: I'm renewing. Have your staff keep The Dish going. I'll miss you when you quit blogging, but I'm still renewing at the $200/yr level.
This reader's investment is just as meaningful:
You didn't need to remove the "subscribe" button. I'm long-term unemployed and keeping a low profile on my "voluntary" payments. But I was going to subscribe once I got a job. Shrug. I decided that hitting the "subscribe" button was the clearest way to vote emphatically for The Dish to continue. You've spent 15 years building a community here and I DON'T want to see it go. And I'll give you a $20 vote of confidence.
So would this reader:
If all those things you said about us readers are true, then we can handle it. Turn the Dish over to us – we won't let you down. I'll even finally subscribe. (Sorry I've been an asshole.)
On the other hand, readers also have this sentiment:
If Andrew is not going to blog anymore, I do not want to continue subscribing to the Dish. How do I opt out of auto-renewal?
Another has already backed out:
I've enjoyed the blog. But given changes, I'm canceling. Thanks so much for the good readings.
And another:
Please retire the Dish. I love it, but it needs to be done – hear me out.
Consider the contrasting paths of two other creative geniuses with legacies in defining an unconventional medium: Charles Schulz, creator of Peanuts, and Bill Watterson, creator of Calvin & Hobbes. Schulz allowed Peanuts to remain in syndicate after he retired, and the once-lovable icon of schlubbery, Charlie Brown, has degenerated into an overused catch phrase "Good Grief" (interestingly, in the original Peanuts Christmas Special, it's Linus who says that line). On the other hand, Watterson took C&H with him into retirement, to the initial dismay of both fans and financially-interested parties. But time has vindicated his decision, with C&H still one of the most beloved icons in all of comicdom.
So please take the Dish with you into retirement.
Another sees both sides:
Succession is tricky. For example, Garrison Keillor has tried to leave Prairie Home Companion several times, but inevitably, the enterprise was too personality-driven to survive the transition. He's still cranking out Saturday evening shows that are widely loved, but nothing fresh has happened at PHC for years. There's such a thing as loving something to death, and I'm glad that Andrew is bright and brave enough to back away before that happens to you or to us.
In the early days when Andrew took breaks, readers snarked unmercifully at the stand-ins until he returned. That doesn't seem to happen so often now; the quality and the accent doesn't change as noticeably as it did on earlier Andrew holidays. And yet … it's hard to imagine the Dish without a big personality at its center.
So, it will be a tough transition. But if there's a critical mass of the staff that's up for it, turn the fucking pay-meter back on and start a renewal drive. You can keep me on auto-renew. And Andrew, I look forward to seeing that new book! Whatever you decide.
I'm a little emotionally drained right now, I have to say. Last night, I could barely sleep. I'm going to write about the amazing people I've worked with here at the Dish in the coming week. And our readers are absolutely right. This blog is a collective project, and has been for a very long while. Jessie, Chris and Patrick were my first three interns and they are now our top three editors, seven years later. They created the Dish in its current formulation. So did Chas, a fireball of love and energy. The Dish would be very different without Matt's attention to the life of the soul as well as the mind; and has been immeasurably leavened by Alice's inspired poetry selection. Jonah is simply a rock-star of intellectual fearlessness.
These people have become my family; in fact, we are family to each other. To have lived and breathed and worked and created this elixir together has been one of the greatest gifts I have ever been given. And the family goes back to all the former interns and staffers, to our beloved Zoe, Doug, Brian, Conor, Katie and Tracy and Zack and Gwynn and Maisie and Phoebe. And, of course, it also extends to Robert Cameron, who created this blog with me in 2000, designed it, worked tirelessly for it, and built the foundation on which all this has been constructed. If you think this blog is my creation, you could not be more wrong. This is their creation as well.
And, of course, it is also yours. We've all been deeply moved by the wave of protest that this community not simply be disbanded. There's an intimacy to this conversation that makes this feel less like a business decision and more like a terrible family break-up. I understand all that. I'm deeply torn about it. It takes time to process.
So give us a little space to absorb this week. As of tomorrow, we're going back to regular blogging. And let us know if you would be prepared to give the team a chance to figure this out or if you think it's best to leave the Dish as a 15-year adventure that helped shape the Internet conversation.
This may be the denial part of grief. Or it could be something else.
See you in the morning.
(Top photo: Current staffers after an editorial meeting last month. Left to right, that's Jonah (international editor), Matt (literary editor), some clapped-out old bear, Chris (editor and co-owner, in charge of the in-tray and Dishness), Patrick (editor and co-owner, in charge of Dish Prep and the budget), Jessie (editor, in charge of the weekend), and Chas (managing editor, aka Special Teams). In that photo were about to head to a bar to join poetry editor Alice, former staffers Tracy and Brian, and former interns Phoebe, Brendan, Doug, Gwynn, and Katie for a Dish holiday party. Zoe lives in Toronto now, so she couldn't make it, and former staffer Conor and former interns Maisie and Zack live in DC. But here's a composite of everyone, past and present:
First column: Matt Sitman, Tracy Walsh, Alice Quinn, a small cartoon of Jessie Roberts (long story), Maisie Allison, Brendan James, and Dusty the Dish mascot. Second column: Patrick Appel, Jonah Shepp, Chas Danner, Zack Beauchamp, Doug Allen, and Phoebe Maltz Bovy. Third column: Chris Bodenner, Katie Zavadski, Brian Senecal, Gwynn Guilford, Zoe Di Novi, and Conor Friedersdorf.
Patagonia, Arizona, 12.23 pm. The reader is arguably our best VFYW contributor ever, given all of her great submissions over the years, stretching back nearly to the beginning of the feature. We got her permission to print her full name below (given the Dish's default anonymity policy):
Andrew, you have become a HUGE part of my day, my husband's day (he is copied on this), and our marriage, as you have provided us much fodder for conversation as well as little digressions from me while on vacation, etc., to take VFYW pics. (Vince is very patient!) You have enhanced the classes we both teach at ASU through timely blog posts or less-timely ones we've saved for the future or dug back to find.
We have exposed our kids (now 26 – our daughter who was cat-called in DC and moved to Silver Spring, is now in Tucson getting her Master's degree – and almost-24 – our son whose HuffPo blogs on being transgender you have linked to more than once, is still in San Francisco, living with his wonderful girlfriend and gainfully employed – yay!), who have also found you interesting, informative, and entertaining. I have shared many of your posts on Facebook and know I am personally responsible for getting you several more readers. :-) (It was lovely to click on the link in the pets' deaths comment and see our sweet Zella looking back at me.)
You will be GREATLY missed, and if you ever can resume The Dish on a part-time basis (with the excellent Dish staff's assistance, of course), we will follow you again, immediately. (Post only M-F AM, with the Window Contest on Saturday, and take off one week a month? No need for guest bloggers – Patrick, Chris, Zoe, et al. are FAB-U-LOUS!) But I am sure you have thought of every possible permutation …
I wish you God-speed and good health and much happiness, with Aaron and your parents and your family and your LIFE. If you ever want to visit Arizona, we have a guest house that you (and Aaron) would be welcome to stay in.

Just a reminder that the Dish has a Facebook page where you can leave any comment you like – the good, the bad, the ugly. Read all of them regarding "A Note To My Readers" here. And as always, you can tweet any praise or invective @sullydish.
Our long-time hirsute reader sends an update:
I kept going back to The Dish all day on Wednesday hoping there would be at least one more post after "A Note To My Readers". It's been ten years since I started visiting your blog on a daily or sometimes hourly basis, depending on what was happening in the world. I was honored to be a part of The Dish with my BOTD pics on not one but three occasions this year [here and here, including the year-end contest].
I will leave you with one last beard pic in your honor. You will be greatly missed.
Likewise. And every one of these BOTWs will be missed as well. Bonus beards after the jump:
Dish poetry editor Alice Quinn writes:
If we replace the word "today" in the title of the poem below with "yesterday," perhaps we have an apt valedictory poem to Andrew following his note of Wednesday about his sad (but for him also liberating) retreat from blogging for the time being. The poet is a certified journeyman farrier who lives near Livingston, Montana.
May you stay fleet of foot on your amazing journey, Andrew.
"Something That Happened Today" by Michael Earl Craig:
I picked up a little beagle today;
I held her between my hands.
Her little legs kicked like sausages.
She was trotting away from me in midair.I picked up a little beagle today.
She was wet.
And a little cross-eyed.
Had she been swimming in the irrigation ditch?I picked up a little beagle today.
What was she doing in the barn?
I know I know . . . this story is unfolding
way too fast.

Over a year ago, I did an interview with John Huey who was engaged in a long project at the Nieman Foundation of documenting how the Internet changed journalism. He sat me down and asked me to spell out the various stages of the Dish experiment and what I thought I was doing at the time. I forgot about it, but the Nieman Lab did a post on my quitting, and embedded two videos of the conversation and a transcript.
It's kind of like a mega Ask Andrew Anything about the entire history of the Dish, from the very beginning. The second part of the interview is after the jump:

You can't change the past.It's already happened.But if you go into the future and an evil empire is ruling,you can go back to the time when they were just bandits,and kill them all.Then if you go into the future,whatever you destroyed in the past won't be there in the future. |

But as soon as you're in that future, these bandits will be in the past. They have happened, and as a consequence you cannot change it: it's the past. Stefan, who seriously believes practical time travel is rubbish and will never be done. |

Behind senior Courtney Clements' (Long Beach, Calif.) career-high tying 29 points, the San Diego State women's basketball team clinched a share of the Mountain West title on Wednesday with a 72-44 conquest of visiting New Mexico at Viejas Arena. With the victory, the Aztecs extended their winning streak to 13 games, improving to 22-5 overall and 13-1 in conference action, while the Lobos drop to 14-12 on the season and 6-7 in the MW.
This is the third regular season championship for head coach Beth Burns since returning for her second stint on Montezuma Mesa in 2005. The Aztecshave also won two MW Tournament championships during that time.
Winning with defense
The SDSU defense was once again in top form, forcing a season-high 29 turnovers, while outscoring UNM 34-12 off those giveaways, including a 15-0 spread in the second half when the Scarlet and Black broke the game open. In addition, the Aztecs notched a season-best 15 steals and maintained a 22-2 advantage in fast-break opportunities.Individually, Clements matched her collegiate high with 12 field goals on 23 attempts to go with eight rebounds and four steals, while senior Chelsea Hopkins (Las Vegas, Nev.) had a big night as well, posting 17 points, four assists and four thefts of her own. The SDSU cause was also aided by sophomore Erimma Amarikwa (Vacaville, Calif.), who tallied eight points and four rebounds, while fellow classmate Ahjalee Harvey (Mountain View, Calif.) added seven points and three steals.The Aztecs never trailed in the contest, eventually building a 23-11 advantage by the 7:29 mark of the first half following a layup by sophomore Chairese Culberson (Oakland, Calif.) and an Amarikwa free throw. The Lobos trimmed the deficit to single digits on six occasions, but a Clements layup with 1:17 left provided SDSU a 35-25 cushion at intermission.Both sides shot the ball fairly well in the period, with the Aztecs connecting on 14-of-30 field-goal attempts (46.7 percent), while UNM was 11-for-23 from the field (47.8 percent). However, SDSU clamped down following the break, limiting the Lobos to an 8-for-25 clip (32.0) in the second half, while converting on 15 of its 30 shots from floor to seize control.Still, the Lobos remained within striking distance after a basket by Whitney Johnson pulled the visitors to within 37-30 at the 18:47 mark. However, the Aztecs reeled off eight straight points over the next two minutes, featuring two jumpers by Clements sandwiched around layups by Hopkins and senior Gabrielle Clark (Los Angeles, Calif.). Following another Johnson bucket, SDSU turned on the afterburners, fashioning an 18-9 blitz during a span of 9:40, capped by a Hopkins 3-pointer, to forge an insurmountable 63-41 lead with 6:55 to go. The Aztecs allowed just three Lobo points the rest of the way en route to the big 72-44 win.UNM was led by Deeva Vaughn and Antiesha Brown, who recorded 10 points apiece. However, the Lobos' leading scorer Caroline Durbin was held to just two points in the loss.
