Juxtapoz // Friday, March 09, 2012
Books are a good thing. When it comes to art, there is nothing better than a good art book.

The 240-page hardcover collection will be published under the Carpet Bombing Culture house. And at $23, it ain't going to bankrupt you.

Design Behind Desire
Erotica // Thursday, January 12, 2012
'Design Behind Desire' is a beautifully conceived book about wanting, longing, yearning, generating and fulfilling of a highly sexual and erotic nature and, as an entity within itself, becomes an object of desire as each sensuously laden page is turned. It both demonstrates and embodies desire by exploring the most beautiful objects of and for desire where integrity, beauty, sexuality and sensuality are at the heart of the creations.
New Book Release: Vhils
Juxtapoz // Tuesday, January 10, 2012

It Chooses You By Miranda July
Juxtapoz // Wednesday, December 21, 2011
There are two things we like in our Juxtapoz office; Miranda July and McSweeney's.

AND EVERY DAY WAS OVERCAST: a novel and photo essay by Paul Kwiatkowski
Juxtapoz // Monday, November 21, 2011
Sometimes art doesn't need to be beautiful, and sometimes beauty does not need to be seen in such a particular way. Either could be said when looking at AND EVERY DAY WAS OVERCAST by Paul Kwiatkowski.
Banksy: Myth & Legends Book
Juxtapoz // Thursday, October 27, 2011
As things with Banksy go, there is a little bit of legend and myth involved with almost every piece of art and story you hear. Therefore, it makes sense that there is a new book out (published by Carpet Bombing Culture) called Banksy Myth & Legends that dissects and examines the various unsolved mysterious surrounding the UK-artist.

More a snack than a meal but taste is wonderful! Staff is very friendly and they offered us a second coffee when i unpurposely overthrown my cup on our table.
If you like all things French, then this cute little cafe is worth a stop. Friendly staff and lovely cakes and pastries. Only a small cafe, so quite intimate and away from the hustle and bustle of Broadbeach Mall (by Meriton.)
This has been our greatest find on our last trip to goldie! Sampled most of the goodies on the display glass over the 3 days we were there and enjoyed every single bites. Coffee was excellent too.
I love this cafe. Best cakes on the Gold Coast. Whenever I get a chance, I come to your cafe. I went there today and they have a sign saying that they are closing from 1 May 2013. I just couldn't believe it, how can such a good cafe close down. I just wanted to say, you guys do THE... More
Stumbled on this cafe when staying at the Meriton apartments. Run by 2 lovely french boys they serve great strong coffee and wonderful selection of homemade French Pastries, Petit fours etc. We grabbed a takeaway coffee or stopped in to eat there each day we were on hols and it was consistently good!
This place is a real treat. Yummy sweets, iced coffee and milkshake. The staff are very friendly and professional.
Very good coffee - go for the bowl if you like your coffee enormous! Pastries are just what you would expect to find in France and great that many of the staff were from France too. Have been there nearly every day during our stay inBroadbeach
Mme Grenouille was right next to our hotel so I was lucky enough to visit a number of times for breakfast. During my visits I had a bacon béchamel, Ham and cheese croissant, Bagel with cream cheese/Avocado and numerous Macarons. Everything was really nice, freshly baked and well presented. Unfortunately they are closed on Sundays and over the Easter long... More
Very close to where I was staying so became a frequent visitor. Had the most amazing selection of cakes and treats. Tried my first ever macarons and was impressed.

The Thurston County Senators are a team affiliated with the Puget Sound Collegiate League. Their first year of existence coincided with the inaugural year of the college league in 2010.
The team is comprised of former college players, and current PSCL players - the roster is flexible by design. It is the top level of talent you will find in amatuer baseball. There are opportunities for PSCL players to make the Senators roster, based on their performance in the league.
The team plays an independent schedule versus Puget Sound Collegiate League, West Coast League and Pacific International League teams and competes in Canadian tournaments. This June will mark the Senators fourth visit to the Kelowna Canada Day Blast tournament. In 2010 the team took 4th place in Kelowna; 2011 they took home 2nd place and walk away with 3rd in 2012. July the Senators will return for the 2nd straight year to Kamloops International Baseball Tournament. The first trip to Kamloops in 2012 the Senators took 4th. September will be the fourth straight year the Senators have been invited to the prestigious Grand Forks International Baseball Tournament over Labor Day weekend. The Senators finished 7th in 2010, placed 6th in 2011 and took 4th in 2012.
We hope you can make it out to the Regional Athletic Complex (RAC) in Lacey this summer to watch this exciting team.

Ding ding ding ding! It has been a long and intense race, but we finally have a winner for Most Depressing Thing! It is a cookbook called Microwave Cooking for One. Here is author Marie T. Smith demonstrating the recipe for "breakfast" (for one):
Yum. Hey, does anyone know the number for an ambulance? Anyway, the website is certainly worth ADDING TO YOUR BOOKMARKS, but if you're too busy crying to go there, check out these fun testimonials:
The wonderful and beautiful book arrived this week and I am thrilled! There are many more recipes then I expected. I am very excited since my husband often works late and I end up with sandwiches rather then making myself something to eat.—Barbara Andersen, New York
I received your cookbook in the mail yesterday afternoon and have already read the whole book. I'm very pleased with my purchase and know I'll use it everyday the rest of my life. I'm so glad I found your website. Thank you again..—Sara Oviatt, Idaho
It is a very good cookbook and I have yet to find a recipe that didn't turn out as it was supposed to.—Norm Peterson, Arizona
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you. I'm an 81-year old and a 24/7 caretaker for my wife who has AD. I will certainly use the book to the best of my ability.—Darold L. Schorlig, California
I received your cookbook, and I have tried some recipes from it. They were great. My hubby keeps looking in the cookbook, and asks "when will you cook this recipe?"—Lori Hamby, Florida
My microwave was a gift for my 30th birthday, which makes it an oldie, but a goodie. The conversion chart is especially helpful. I use my microwave on a daily basis, but I know with your cookbook it will become even more valuable.—Marcia Scurfield, Kansas
Sounds great! Hey guys, nevermind about the ambulance. LOL, I am actually dead! When people find my body, there will be no note. Just a copy of this next to the bed:
Don't worry, I am in a better place now. I have to be. There is nothing but better places compared to this place. R.I.P. Gabe! (Thanks for the tip, Clown Coffee.)

By Kaitlin Cole in Style on Oct 10, 2012
Ari Seth Cohen, creator of Advanced Style--a fashion blog that features older people in amazing outfits--has partnered with Australian band Van She to create a series of videos that explore what happiness means. (Van She's latest album is fittingly titled Idea of Happiness.)
Jean (L) and Valerie (R)
For the first video, Cohen picked two of the fabulous ladies from Advanced Style, Valerie and Jean (aka The Idiosyncratic Fashionistas), to talk about what happiness means to them. Their answers range from big moments in life like finishing a college degree to little things like putting on the fun outfits they're wearing in the video (those striped flatforms that Jean is wearing, oh my gah).
Check out "Idea of Happiness #001" below!

What makes a great cheap wine? First, more quality than the cost. Second, consistency from vintage to vintage, so that quality doesn't suffer to keep the price down. Third, terroir — does the wine taste like where it came from?
Which is why Sicilian wine has been seen so many times on the blog over the past several years, and why the Segreta red and white blends from La Planeta have so often been part of that. This vintage of the Bianco ($8, purchased, 12.5%) is no exception — it has everything a great cheap wine should have:
• The cost/quality ratio should embarrass other regions (are you listening, California?), with top-notch fruit and professional winemaking that uses the fruit to its best advantage. That means no tricks like fake oak to cover up a flaw.
• This wine, though it doesn't taste exactly the same as the 2010, is of the same high quality.
• And it does taste of Sicily, with white fruit and citrus, thanks to the island's grecancio grape, which is half the blend. If this vintage is not as rich as the 2010, it's fresher and a little more food friendly. It's grilled seafood and chicken wine, as well as hummus and pitas.
Highly recommended, and a candidate for the 2015 $10 Hall of Fame. I should also note the screwcap, and the very well done back label, which includes the phrase "a great everyday wine." Would that others were so direct about the wine they make, and not try to convince us that their grocery store merlot is one of the great wines of the world.

Falling like the autumn leaves,
Gracefully to the ground.
My nervous chest pounds and heaves,
And my cheeks flush red.
You were the breeze that picked me up,
And threw me through the air,
Sending me spiraling and spinning around,
Although you never said you'd play fair.
Soaring through this uplifting high,
Changing hues at your smile,
Dizzying spins throw me around.
My composure's now abandoned me,
It's been gone for awhile.
My crimson heart floats through the sky,
Propelled by the autumn breeze,
Plunging through the crisp, clear sky,
Not making a single sound
One question haunts my weary mind.
"Will you catch me before I hit the ground?
Or will I end up like the rest,
Dead and shriveled on this cold autumn ground?"

Rainwater Grill's patrons unwind in dining room that a 2010 New York Times article praised for its neighborhood feel and elegant décor. Amid natural stone accents and a gently burbling waterfall, servers deliver upscale American dishes such as grilled new york strip steak and a Fisherman's Wharf seafood cioppino rife with sautéed clams, mussels, and calamari in a spicy saffron tomato broth. Diners can choose a beverage to complement their means with ease: the restaurant offers numerous wine-pairing suggestions for every entrée on the menu. In the lounge area, bartenders mix martinis for patrons who eschew the dining room in favor of watching one of the four high-definition televisions or listening to live music.
Though its dining room is in the heart of Yonkers, La Bella Havana's food transports diners straight to Cuba with the chefs' homestyle Caribbean cooking. Drawing equal inspiration from the land and sea, hearty comfort foods include sauteed chorizo with fried plantain chips, empanadas with a variety of fillings, and massive servings of paella that the New York Times hailed as "the real deal: stuffed with seafood, chorizo and chicken, full of flavor and cooked to perfection." The drink menu similarly embraces its Cuban roots with hand-blended mojitos and other potent tropical cocktails.
But Cuba's presence inside the restaurant also goes beyond the edibles to its island-inspired decor. The walls give the appearance of rustic, exposed brickwork peeking through plaster and a glance upward yields ceiling fans and their distinctively leaf-shaped blades. Even the bar area is shaded by a thatched straw canopy, which shields the bartenders from the imported Cuban sunshine.
Warm earth tones and dark wooden trim lend a casual elegance to the dining room at Dúo Tapas Bar & Lounge, an elegance that is mirrored by the menu of refined finger foods. The chefs draw inspiration from Latin, Thai, American, and Italian cuisine as they forge small, tapas-style plates for diners' tables. They top the cuban sliders' roast pork and sliced ham with mustard rémoulade and accompany the tempura shrimp with a sweet chili sauce. Crispy, thin-crust pizzas emerge from the oven with familiar toppings of basil or hot sausage or spreads of non-traditional pizzeria ingredients, including pulled pork and barbecue sauce or shrimp and garlic butter.
The restaurant embraces its lounge roots after sunset, hosting occasional DJ sets and live bands in its space and encouraging guests to practice their best moves on the dance floor. Five televisions flanking the full-service bar entertain patrons as they sip mixed drinks or stuff a love note to the bartender into a cocktail olive.
Writing in Time magazine, food critic Josh Ozersky praised the "Iberian flavors" of dishes prepared by Chef Anthony Goncalves, which he called "eclectic, unpredictable, and very, very good." The executive chef and co-owner of 42 the Restaurant, Goncalves sources ingredients from the surrounding Hudson Valley, then serves up his dynamic menu in the ultra-sleek dining room atop Westchester?s Ritz-Carlton. Sticky garlic lobster and crab and roasted pork tenderloin gleam on tables next to floor-to-ceiling windows, which let guests look out on White Plains, the sparkling Long Island Sound, and foolhardy merchant vessels sailing off the earth's edge.
Every weekend, the soulful notes of blues bands fill the air of the casual, Zagat-rated eatery with lively and exciting ballads. National acts such as Popa Chubby, CJ Chenier, and Jeffrey Gaines complement the sounds of tribute bands as well as Monday open mic participants. Having first opened in 1991 in Westchester, experienced chefs in the kitchen orchestrate dishes of spicy jambalaya, boiled crawfish, and exotic alligator sausage that are every bit as expressive and flavorful as the tunes they complement. Dishes arrive with steam still curling into the air, awaiting diner's selection from a menu of 100 gourmet hot sauces that customize dishes with fiery flavors of habanero peppers, smoked chipotles, peach and vidalia onion, and dragon tears. Bayou?s chefs also whip up their creole food for special events with their catering services.
Proponents of the slow-food movement, Bibi'z Restaurant and Lounge's proprietors believe that meals deserve to be savored rather than scarfed down. To that end, their chefs ensure that diners have plenty to relish: they use simple techniques to bring out flavors in sustainable and wild-caught fish, grass-fed Black Angus beef, and locally sourced organic produce, dairy, and poultry. The culinary team incorporates those ingredients into dishes such as vegetarian wild-mushroom ravioli with a butternut-squash cream sauce, pan-seared duck breast with a reduction of Asian five-spice, and gluten-free braised short ribs with a parsnip puree. In 2014, Bergen.com awarded the restaurant with the titles of Best Healthy Restaurant and Best Place for Girls' Night Out.
Hand-selected from sustainable wineries at home and abroad, organic and biodynamic wines?more of 50 of which are available by the glass?add their own nuanced flavors to meals. Barkeeps also quench thirsts with complimentary still and sparkling water filtered in house rather than taken straight from the blowhole of a whale. Each leisurely feast unfolds on Bibi'z's airy outdoor patio or in a spacious dining room replete with a fireplace and a lounge full of comfy leather chairs.

Will there be another one? Shyvana and Fizz were skipped, so i'm kinda vorried about this. I really love more deep character development provided by Judgements.
Yeah, along with the journal of justice, i think the writers may have taken a break.
Senior Member
they could also just be working on the Demacia vs Noxus vs Black Rose storyline... here's to hopeing
One of the people who write the lore was fired/quit (Not sure). The JoJ and judgements are on hold for now, but they will come back. Reds have said this when asked before, just look around.
i wana hear what happend to jarvan
QA Analyst
I asked Lore this the other day. They're working very hard on it. They have to write articles in advance, and when we change our minds (happens a lot internally on various things as we constantly iterate to present you the best possible product), they sometimes get slammed by a ton of different rewrites all at once. Such has been the case recently. We've made several changes due to player feedback that have required an enormous boatload of work for Creative. Please have patience! They will deliver more awesomeness as soon as possible .
Quite - both judgments and JoJ were affected by this (possibly other things that I'm not aware of).

Moffat County athletics director candidates speak to community
Thursday, May 16, 2013
Craig Community members from Craig met the finalists for the new Moffat County School District co-curricular athletics director Thursday evening at Craig Middle School.
The three candidates conducted a short interview session in front of those in attendance, then met with school officials as well as parents and a few students to end a full day in Craig.
The School Board has created a new position with the co-curricular AD. The employee will handle athletics and activities for kindergarten through 12th grade, and that will be the position's sole focus. That was one of the attributes that attracted the finalists.
"This position is a unique one, so the opportunity really excited me," said Rick Schmitz, a counselor and evaluator at Coal Ridge High School with nine years of AD experience at Coal Ridge and Rifle. "To be on the ground floor of something is exciting to me."
Rick Jensen, recently an AD at Eagle Valley who also has nine years of experience as an AD, felt similarly when he heard about the Craig opening.
"When looking at this position, the way it is structured is very exciting," Jensen said. "I think it has the potential to be outstanding."
There also is a home-grown finalist for the job. Ryan Duran, 33, is a member of the Moffat County Class of 1998 and is the operating manager at Eastside Liquor and a basketball official. He acknowledged his relative lack of experience but said his love for the community and passion for sports are why he wants to be involved.
"When I came back (to Craig from Denver), I realized how passionate I was about about Moffat County athletics," he said. "Everybody has a story from their days, I still talk with people about certain games, or the crowd going crazy. I want that to continue on, and for these kids to have their stories. I may not have the experience, but I do have a passion for the community, athletics and activities."
Schmitz said his first step if offered the job would be to get into the community and learn as much as he could.
"I want to get to know you folks, all the people I'm working with," he said. "That way, when things happen down the road, we can have positive conversations about it."
Part of Jensen's attraction to the job was he saw a lot of his hometown community in Iowa when he first visited Craig.
"Craig as a community, while it's not identical, is in a similar location in the state" to my hometown, he said. "I had a great situation in high school, where we just had a ton of buy-in from the community in the high school athletics. It was like a magnet where everybody rallies around the kids. I saw that here, too."
Brent Curtice, Moffat County School District assistant superintendent, said district officials plan to extend a job offer to their preferred candidate early next week. He is ready to move forward with the new AD in place.
"This is the start of a much bigger picture for this community," Curtice said. "The way we've seen people coming together for the importance of this position is really exciting."

So let me get this straight......we have three "finalists" for the Athletic Director position and they are two AD's from schools with horrible athletic programs and a liquor store manager ..... and this is the best we can get?
Once again our school board is proving to the community how inept they can be. Come on SB you have a chance to create something great here, so pull your heads out and put just a little bit of effort into this process and get to work finding a qualified person to fill the job. I call BS on the fact that these candidates are the best we could find.
Cole White 1 year, 8 months ago
Thanks also Brent Curtice for showing us that a good portion of our district officials also need replacing due to extreme lack in judgement. A position as important as this and you actually think one of your "finalists" is the person that will help elevate Moffat County athletics. Any one of these candidates will likely do a better job than the previous person but we don't want just better....we want a leader who will help guide our athletic programs to greatness. You don't hire people with mediocre track records at failing schools and bartenders if you truly want to get your programs to the next level. Your choice of candidates shows laziness on the part of school officials Brent! Do your job and go find good candidates! Your decision here has the potential here to either set the stage for years to come or set us back years when you realize later that these candidates don't have what it takes to help lead our athletic departments.

Rick Schmitz I believe was in Rifle when they were winning state championships in Football, they took second this year. I also believe he was a very successful basketball coach. Rifle had girls basketball teams consistently in the State Tourney. The guy from Eagle did not seem to last long there. You can only get good candidates if they apply. This does not sound like a normal AD position. I do hope they get someone better than the last one!
Cole White 1 year, 8 months ago
I think the easiest way to answer that question is to look at MoCo sports. I believe he forgot to do the "Director" part of his job.....and probably the "Athletic" part too.
calvinhobbs 1 year, 8 months ago
MoCo Sports Boys Basketball- Sweet 16-first time in how long? Girls Basketball Sweet 16- I believe 13 years straight they have made the state playoffs Girls Soccer- playoffs for the first time ever Girls Track-Outstanding showing at state again Cross Country-outstanding year again Once again athletes that are graduating are going on to participate at the college level. Football- by far the smallest school in 3A, 580 kids in the high school playing schools with enrollments of plus 1,000. Bring them down a level in a year and they will be tough. Do not get me wrong the AD did drop the ball on numerous things, one was petitioning CHSAA to bring football down when the other sports dropped a class,. But athletics are doing very well at MCHS.
Cole White 1 year, 8 months ago
calvinhobbs- I guess we have a different definition of what "doing well" means. The size of the school in relation to other 3As shouldn't even be brought up but around here it's used as a crutch.
And maybe a sweet sixteen means success to you but for those schools who expect a state championship every year it is a setback. Merely making it to state or to participate in a playoff is not how championships are won or how championship teams are born. We've settled for "good enough" for too long. We have great athletes who languish at the hands of "parent coaches" who play politics and destroy programs. We have AD's and a principal who are ripe with apathy and ineffectual leadership. We have a school board who provides little direction and holds almost no one accountable. Now is the time to clean house and right the ship. Excuses and mediocrity can't be tolerated any more.
calvinhobbs 1 year, 8 months ago
Highway It sounds like you have some answers. I agree there is some apathy. Step up and ask to be a coach. I know last year Coach Ray was in need of a JV coach, there was one applicant, and he had to ask her. Look at the MCSD web site. They need 8th grade football, 2 volleyball openings and a soccer opening. Plus they will always take dollar contract coaches. Personally I thought all my kids, boy and girls had great coaches at the high school. It is not about a state championship, 70ish teams per class and only one winner. Private schools that recruit, open borders to play at the school you choose, year round programs, weekend camps, batting cages, rec centers, club teams, booster clubs that support all programs equally with camps, equipment and more money for more coaches. Moffat County is Moffat County, one of the lowest funded schools in the state, kids out selling T-shirts to pay for camp and equipment and bus fuel. These kids and coaches are dedicated, and that is what athletics is, it is about dedication, team work, hard work and being an active kid.I am proud of what my kids did at MCHS,they had success in the sports they did, 2 are college athletes getting their education paid for. The other learned what hard work was and is doing well in the military. Come out to Grand old West Days Monday and support the teams selling raffle tickets, pancakes, turkey legs and everything else they do. I will be there.
George Robertson 1 year, 8 months ago
Agreed Calvin, it's not all about winning, it's Learning how to play!
hello81625 1 year, 8 months ago
Yes - Rick Schmitz was at Rifle and I can speak directly to the fact that he was an exceptional and exciting Coach, teacher and mentor. The record of his current school is difficult to hold him to - remember this is still a new school that took a split from Rifle - the first 2 years they didn't have upperclassmen and parent can still choose to have their kids go to Rifle where the programs are established. As always I would like to know what the nay sayers are doing to make a change.
Jason Phillips 1 year, 8 months ago
I would like to see MCHS athletics succeed as much as the next person, but some of you need to be more realistic. People aren't beating down doors to come be the next AD and live in Craig, CO.

Jan. 23 (Bloomberg) -- Limitless LLC, a property developer controlled by Dubai World, and its creditors reached an initial agreement on terms to restructure a $1.2 billion loan, three bankers familiar with the talks said.
The company has been given a seventh extension on the loan until the end of April as the restructuring plan is concluded, the bankers said, declining to be identified because the discussions are private. A formal agreement may be signed early February, they said. The Islamic loan was originally due to mature in March 2010.
"Private discussions continue with our lenders," Limitless said in an e-mailed response to questions from Bloomberg News today.
Limitless, whose projects include the mixed-use Downtown Jebel Ali development in Dubai and another development in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, raised the loan in dollars and United Arab Emirates dirhams in 2008 from a group of 18 banks, according to a company statement at the time. Emirates NBD PJSC and National Bank of Abu Dhabi PJSC helped raise the loan, while Royal Bank of Scotland Group Plc was among the lenders.
A spokesman for Emirates NBD, the U.A.E.'s biggest bank by assets, declined to comment as did a spokeswoman for RBS and a spokesman at National Bank of Abu Dhabi.
Limitless is seeking to extend the tenor of the loan by four to five years and plans to pay no interest over that period, two bankers familiar with the deal said on Aug. 8. Interest on the loan will accrue and be repaid along with principal when the loan matures, they said at the time.

Copyright Neo Era Media, Inc. - please do not redistribute or use for commercial purposes.
Over the years, Coolermaster has become a respected name among computer builders. One of their more notable successes is the original CM 690. Introduced just over two years ago, this mid tower was (and is) generally liked for its great balance of aesthetics, build quality and features, all for a reasonable price. Time has passed and now Coolermaster kicks off 2010 with a refreshed version -- the CM 690 II Advanced.
Visually, the CM 690 II is very similar to the original. Coolermaster kept the classic looking matte black and the new design is also primarily a steel chassis with only the front and top framing made out of plastic. It ships with three fans, room for eight more and makes possible the installation of two, yes two, radiators for water cooling. The company took the best of the original CM 690 and improved upon it, making the second edition very promising. Without any further ado, lets see how it stacks up!
The CM 690 II Advanced ships in a pretty neat looking black box with the model name clearly displayed. As you can see, the box took quite a hit during shipping and, as a result, the case unfortunately suffered a slight dent on the side panel.
On the back side, Cooler Master shows off their brand new case under a few more angles and also highlighted some of the enclosure's main features. It definitely seems like Cooler Master has cooked up some interesting stuff for us to enjoy.
With the packaging out the way, the steel case comes in at rather heavy 22 pounds, significantly more than most mid towers out there. On the main side panel, Cooler Master made two openings that can accommodate 80, 92, 120 or 140 millimeter fans. The other panel also has room to install an 80mm fan right behind the processor's socket. However, those three intake fans are optional so you will have to buy them separately.
The front's framing consists of good quality plastic pillars separated from the central part by a neat looking chrome lining. The rest of the facade is entirely made out of steel mesh and leaves you with four 5.25" drive bays, a 140mm intake fan and Cooler Master's logo. On the back, you'll find a slightly different layout than other mid towers,but first of all, noticed how there's nothing but steel back there. The power supply is located at the bottom and there's also a vertical PCI brackets on the right which we will look into in the coming pages. Additionally, they also drilled a couple holes at the top for water cooling tubing.
The power and reset buttons are located on top along with power on and drive activity LEDs. There's also an eSATA ports, a couple USB 2.0 ports as well as an audio input and output. Right behind is a really neat feature only found on the Advanced version of the CM 690 II.
Using it is as easy as it seems; simply slide in a SATA drive and you're good to go. However, in order to use it as a hot swap bay, there are a few rules to follow. Your SATA controller must be set in AHCI mode and follow the proper procedure within your operating system before removing it. In Windows, it's the same steps as ejecting a USB drive. If your SATA controller cannot be set to AHCI, you should only install and remove a drive when the computer is turned off.
Finally, at the bottom, Cooler Master installed a mesh filter to keep dust out. It's pretty good, but the holes are fairly large so it's not likely to catch the smaller dust particles like a cloth filter would. Also, the filter is held by tabs so you have to lightly squeeze it to take it on and off. Unfortunately, that means it is not possible to do it blindly so you'll have to turn the case over to clean it which is annoying and actually impossible if you have a water cooling setup.
Now that we've gone around the outside, it's time to take the side panels off and take a peek inside. They each are held by two thumbscrews and simply have to be slided towards the back in order to release them. The panels are surprisingly heavy, but it's understandable considering they are made out of 0.7mm steel.
The inside of the CM 690 II is pretty roomy for a mid tower and Cooler Master had the great idea to paint the whole thing in black. It supports micro ATX and ATX motherboards, up to eleven fans, four 5.25" drives and six 3.25" drives. They has also cut holes in the motherboard tray to neatly route cables.
All the drive bays are equipped with a tool-less system, making installation totally painless. For the 5.25" bays, simply pull the lever in "open" position, slide the drive in and push the lever back to "lock." The system feels solid unlike others I have run into which often feel flimsy. For hard drives, once you pulled the caddy out, it's just a matter of aligning the drive's holes with the caddy's pins. The topmost caddy can be used to attach two 2.5" drives, the form factor used by most solid state drives. You'll need a screwdriver for this one though.
There are holes to attach an optional 120mm fan on the drive bays and the bottom four bays can also be removed to make room for a second watercooling radiator, long video cards or simply for improving airflow. To take it off, you'll first have to remove four screws on the bottom and one on the back.
Once that is done, the sides will be loose and all that's left to do is pull them out. They are tight and require some prying the first few times, but they quickly loosen up. With this drive cage out of the way, the case now has much more room to breathe, but only a couple hard drive bays.
The case is designed to house the power supply at the bottom and sits on rubber grommets to keep vibrations at a minimum. With this configuration, the power supply will draw fresh air from the bottom and push it right back out instead of being fed with pre-heated air coming from the processor.
The top panel is held by six tabs which have to pushed inwards before you can pull it up. Be careful and take it slow when doing this as the cables going to the front panel are tightly routed and you don't want to accidentally knock one of the connectors off. The top has room to welcome a pair of 120 or 140mm fans or a radiator. The front panel is also held by six clips and has the necessary holes to install a single 120 or 140mm fans. Cooler Master drilled two sets of holes so the fan can be attached higher or lower depending on your setup.
With the CM 690 II Advanced, Cooler Master includes a complete accessory set. The manual does a good job at explaining how to install hardware in the case and there is plenty of screws -- in fact way more than you'll need. There's also a 5.25" to 3.25" adapter for floppy drives or card readers, a dozen of zip ties, an internal speaker and an odd looking piece of steel used to support large video cards.
On the motherboard tray, there's a chart that shows where to install standoffs depending on your board's form factor. The hole cut out behind the processor's socket is generously large and lets you install a heatsink with a backplate without having to remove the motherboard. Very handy!
That vertical PCI bracket is very clever, making it possible to install a bracket with extra USB, eSATA or perhaps FireWire ports. There's one rather large caveat to this great idea though -- none of the brackets I had on hand had long enough cables to reach the motherboard connectors, thus rendering this neat feature pretty much useless.
With everything installed, the CM 690 II Advanced features make it relatively easy to do a good cable management job. The cut-outs done in the tray as well as the space left between the tray and the side panel made it possible to route cables neatly for optimal airflow. I used the Noctua NH-U12P heatsink and while it did fit without issues, it's about as big as you can go in this case. It also made it impossible to install a fan in the top opening on the inside of the side panel. Also shown is the video card support which can hold up to three dual slot video cards and take stress off the board. Speaking of video cards, the maximum length with the drive cage installed is 304mm or just a tad under 12".
In order to get representative results, I will test the Cooler Master 690 II Advanced as is -- no other fans will be added. I will mount an Intel Core i7 system in the case and record temperatures at both idle and load. Results will be compared with those of previously tested cases.
Testing Setup
Even though the CM 690 II Advanced is a mid tower, the good layout and cable management features lets it shine even against large full towers. The processor idled slightly warmer, but evened out under load. The video card was also kept on par with the ATCS 840, while it was able to keep the hard drive running cooler than all the others. The case also performed significantly better than the other mid tower -- the Antec Sonata.
The original CM 690 was a success and there is no doubt in my mind that this second iteration will also sell like hotcakes. Of course, there is no perfect product out there, but the CM 690 II Advanced isn't far from one. The case only has a few minor weak points so I'll get rid of them right away.
First, the drive cage could really use a couple more screws instead of the current system which seems like it will get flimsy after repeated use. Secondly, the vertical PCI bracket is hit or miss depending on the bracket's cable length that came with your motherboard. However, Cooler Master installed it as close as they could so it's a neat feature, but you may or may not be able to use it.
Other than these minor issues, the case is absolutely great. Their tool less system for drives works exceedingly well, is easy to use and holds drives nice and tight. It also feels like it's built to last, unlike many other tool free systems. Its layout is also well thought out, giving you ample room for cable management and even water cooling.
The CM 690 II Advanced is also graced with excellent build quality, thanks to all the steel used throughout the case. In fact, the only plastic you'll find are the tool less mechanism for drives and the outside framing. Fortunately, Cooler Master opted for good quality plastics which do not feel flimsy at all.
When it came to cooling, the case also performed well, especially considering it's a mid tower. It was able to keep every component running nice and cool while remaining quiet. The CM 690 II did all that carrying pretty good looks, more on the classy side rather than flashy. The front fan's blue LED can be turned on and off by the push of a button, which I found to be a neat addition.
Overall, the CM 690 II Advanced is an awesome enclosure. It's well built, looks great and it's priced right. Speaking of price, the Advanced version will be available for $100, but there will also be a cheaper regular edition for $80. The extra $20 you have to pony up for the Advanced gets you an additional 140mm fan, the video card retainer, the 2-in-1 2.5" drive bay and the very clever external hard drive dock. If any of these features appeal to you, it is well worth the slight premium. For me, the hard drive dock alone is worth it. The original 690 was a great case and Coolermaster has definitely stepped up and made the second one even better.

WATCH: SNL "Teachers' Snow Day" VIDEO
February 1st, 2015
VIDEO"SNL" aired a rap video called "Teachers' Snow Day" about what really happens when schools are shut for snow and kids are home. Basically, as "SNL" presented it, it's a time for teachers to come into the empty school and drink, smoke pot, have sex in classrooms, and just prance around naked. Check out the hilarious video here!

Austin, Texas (KMSS) — The Texas Public Safety Commission (PSC) and the Department of Public Safety (DPS) Director Steven McCraw presented a Director's Citation and Medal of Merit to two DPS employees, and a Director's Award to the Lubbock Fire Chief for their outstanding service to the public and state of Texas.
"I am honored to recognize these men for their incredible commitment to the state of Texas – whether through law enforcement or civic achievement," said Director McCraw. "Their perseverance and dedication is a testament to the finest tradition of public service and the Texas Department of Public Safety."
In addition, former Commissioner Allan Polunsky was named an honorary Texas Ranger Captain in recognition for his more than six years of service on the PSC.
"Commissioner Polunsky's esteemed service to the Texas Public Safety Commission, including four years as chair, has been invaluable," said PSC Chair Cynthia Leon. "Presenting him with this honor is just a small gesture of gratitude for his selfless commitment to this department."
Today, the PSC also welcomed its newest member, Commissioner Steven Mach, who is vice president and CFO of Mach Industrial Group in Houston. Commissioner Mach was appointed last week by Gov. Perry to serve on the PSC.
The following awards were presented today:
Sgt. Bryan Henry, Highway Patrol in Crockett (previously in Lufkin), received a Director's Citation for his help in the apprehension of a serial killer. On March 12, 2012, Sgt. Henry received information about an Alaska kidnapping case, indicating that the suspect might be in or near Shepherd, Texas. Sgt. Henry determined the likely make and model of the suspect's car after researching photos, and he began searching for the vehicle during his patrols that day. On March 13, Sgt. Henry located a vehicle matching the car's description at a local hotel and eventually stopped the driver for a minor traffic violation. The suspect, Israel Keyes, was subsequently arrested and later confessed to multiple murders and other crimes. The Texas Rangers were also instrumental in the investigation. Keyes later committed suicide in an Alaska jail.
Cpl. John Gonzalez, Highway Patrol in Lubbock, received a Medal of Merit for helping establish the Lubbock Regional Public Safety Memorial. In 2000, Gonzalez and Chief Mike Kemp, of the Lubbock Fire Department, began the long process of establishing the memorial. Throughout the years, the men researched possible costs, studied grant options, organized fundraisers and secured donations to create the memorial, which was unveiled Sept. 11, 2013. In recognition of his commitment and work to make the memorial a reality, Chief Kemp received the Director's Award.
In addition to presenting the above awards, Director McCraw received the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Director's Service to the Homeland Award. The award, one of ICE's most prestigious honors, recognizes non-ICE personnel who have exhibited exceptional cooperation and dedication in collaborating with ICE and other federal law enforcement organizations, ICE stakeholders and the community, promoting ICE initiatives, and/or improving inter-governmental programs and relations.
Assistant Director Tom Ruocco, Criminal Investigations Division, received the U.S. Department of Homeland Security Law Enforcement Information Sharing Outstanding Achiever Award. This DHS award recognizes an individual from the Law Enforcement Information Sharing Community who has made exemplary and recognizable achievements that support the growth and increased understanding and promotion of the law enforcement information sharing message.

I bought it from a dealer but discovered it's actually a truck that was previously owned by a friend of mine, so I can vouch a little bit for the history on it. It was a one-owner truck with only 15,000 miles on it when I bought it, so I know the topper doesn't have any more miles than that. Truck and topper both in mint condition. Topper has sliding windows and locking handle, and yes I have the key. He tells me it's the Z series, but that info comes from his son. Color is MGM (color-matched). I know he paid $1600 for it, I'm asking $1100. Located in north Texas, Dallas area.

Internet censorship in Russia
Internet censorship in the Russian Federation is enforced according to Federal law no. 139-FZ, which is an amendment to the Russian federal law "On Protecting Children from Information Harmful to Their Health and Development" and other laws. The law took effect on 1 November 2012 and instituted a blacklist maintained by the Federal Service for Supervision of Communications, Information Technology and Mass Media (Roskomnadzor, Russian: Федеральная служба по надзору в сфере массовых коммуникаций и связи) for the censorship of individual URLs, domain names, and IP addresses.
The law is outlined in a government decree issued on 26 October 2012.[1] The blacklist was originally introduced to block sites that contain child pornography, materials advocating drug abuse and production, and materials advocating suicide. Shortly after the laws were updated and amended to block extremist content or any other content being subject to gag order, and these regulations are frequently abused to block criticism of the federal government or local administration.[2]
Russia was found to engage in selective Internet filtering in the political and social areas and no evidence of filtering was found in the conflict/security and Internet tools areas by the OpenNet Initiative in December 2010.[3]
Russia was on Reporters Without Borders list of countries under surveillance from 2010 to 2013[4] and was moved to the Internet Enemies list in 2014.[5]
In 2004 only a minority of Russians (8% of the population) had Internet access.[6] In May 2008, some 32.7 million users in Russia had access to the Internet (almost 30% of the population).[7] In 2012, 75.9 million Russians (53% of the population) had access.[8]
Following his visit to Russia in 2004, Álvaro Gil-Robles, then Commissioner for Human Rights of Council of Europe, noted the high quality of news and reaction speed of Russia's Internet media. Virtually all the main newspapers were available on-line, some even opting for Web as a sole information outlet. Russia's press agencies (including the most important Ria-Novosti and Itar-Tass) were also well represented in the Web.[6]
In April 2008 Agence France-Presse noted that, "The Internet is the freest area of the media in Russia, where almost all television and many newspapers are under formal or unofficial government control".[9]
As reported by Kirill Pankratov in April 2009 in The Moscow Times:
Even discounting the chaotic nature of the web, there is plenty of Russian-language material on political and social issues that is well-written and represents a wide range of views. This does not mean, though, that most Russians are well-informed of the important political and social issues of today. But this is largely a matter of personal choice, not government restrictions. If somebody is too lazy to make just a few clicks to read and become aware of various issues and points of view, maybe he deserves to be fed bland, one-sided government propaganda.[10]
In a November 2009 address to the Federal Assembly, President of Russia Dmitry Medvedev acknowledged that Russia was ranked only as the world's 63rd country based on estimates of the level of communications infrastructure development. He stressed the necessity to provide broadband Internet access on the whole Russia's territory in five years, and to manage the transition to digital TV, as well as the fourth generation of cellular wireless standards.[11]
The absence of overt state-mandated Internet filtering in Russia before 2012 led some observers to conclude that the Russian Internet represents an open and uncontested space. In fact, the Russian government actively competes in Russian cyberspace employing second- and third-generation strategies as a means to shape the national information space and promote pro-government political messages and strategies. This approach is consistent with the government's strategic view of cyberspace that is articulated in strategies such as the doctrine of information security. DoS attacks against Estonia (May 2007) and Georgia (August 2008) may have been an early indication of the government's active interest in mobilizing and shaping activities in Russian cyberspace.[12]
Most of the blocking actions have some kind of legal base, although it's being applied in a very flexible way: popular opposition websites encouraging protests against the court rulings in Bolotnaya Square case were blocked for "calling for illegal action"; Dumb Ways to Die, a public transport safety video, was blocked as "suicide propaganda"; websites discussing federalisation of Siberia — as "attack on the foundations of the constitution"; article on a gay activist being fired from job — as "propaganda of non-traditional sex relations"; publishing Pussy Riot logo — as "insult of the feelings of believers"; criticism of overspending of local governor — "insult of the authorities"; publishing a poem in support of Ukraine — "inciting hatred" etc.[2]
SORM, a System for Operative Investigative Activities, was amended in July 1998 to allow monitoring of the Internet in addition to telephone communications. SORM allows law enforcement agents to monitor Internet traffic and requires ISPs to assist law enforcement in their investigations. In late 2000, the Russian Supreme Court ruled that the law enforcement agents are required to obtain a warrant and inform ISPs when the SORM is going to be used.[citation needed]
Blacklist law[edit]
In July 2012, the State Duma passed a law calling for the formation of an Internet blacklist—taking effect on 1 November 2012. The blacklist, administered by the Federal Service for Supervision of Communications, Information Technology and Mass Media (Roskomnadzor) and Federal Drug Control Service of Russia, is primarily designed for the protection of children from harmful content; particularly that which glorifies drug usage, advocates suicide or describes suicide methods, or contain child pornography.[13]
The organization offers a website where users can check to see whether a given URL or IP address is in the blacklist, and can also report websites which contain prohibited materials authorities. After a submission is verified, Roskomnadzor will inform the website's owner and hosting provider.[14] If the material is not removed within three days, the website will be added to the blacklist, and all Russian ISPs must block it.[15] The full content of the blacklist is available to ISPs, but not to the general public,[14] although soon after it was implemented, a leaked list of blacklisted websites was published by a LiveJournal user on 12 November 2012.[16]
In Russian, the blacklist is officially called the Единый реестр доменных имён, указателей страниц сайтов в сети «Интернет» и сетевых адресов, позволяющих идентифицировать сайты в сети «Интернет», содержащие информацию, распространение которой в Российской Федерации запрещено, which translates to Common register of domain names, Internet website page locators, and network addresses that allow identifying Internet websites which contain information that is prohibited for distribution in the Russian Federation. Russian sources generally refer to it under the shortened name "Common register of prohibited websites" (Единый реестр запрещённых сайтов)[17] or Common register of websites with prohibited information (Единый реестр сайтов с запрещённой информацией).[18] English-language sources for the most part simply refer to it as the country's Internet blacklist.[13][14][19]
Reaction to the blacklist[edit]
Reporters Without Borders criticized the procedure by which entries are added to the blacklist as "extremely opaque", and viewed it as part of an attack on the freedom of information in Russia.[20] Some human rights activists have expressed fear that the blacklist may be used to censor democracy-oriented websites.[13] And a Lenta.ru editorial noted that the criteria for prohibited content are so broad that even the website of the ruling United Russia party could in theory be blacklisted.[21] However, the idea of an Internet blacklist is generally supported by the Russian public: in a September 2012 Levada Center survey, 63% of respondents had expressed support for "Internet censorship",[22][23] though any kind of censorship is banned under the Constitution of Russia.
Electronic Frontier Foundation has criticized the blacklist, stating: "EFF is profoundly opposed to government censorship of the Internet, which violates its citizens right to freedom of expression... We are especially concerned about the censorship of independent news and opposing political views, which are essential to a thriving civil society. Russians who wish to circumvent government censorship can continue to read these websites via the Tor Browser."[24]
Data retention law[edit]
On 23 July 2014, the State Duma passed a data retention law as an amendment to existing anti-terrorism legislation. The law will require all web services to store the user data of Russians on servers within the country. Sites which do not comply with this requirement by September 2016 may be blocked by the government.[25][26]
Since August 2014 the law requires operators of free Wi-Fi hotspots (e.g. in restaurants, libraries, cafes etc) to collect personal details of all users and identify them using passports.[27]
Instances of censorship[edit]
A number of websites maintain lists of websites currently blocked in Russia, based on different sources of information.[28][29]
- In 2004 Russia pressured Lithuania, and in 2006 Sweden, into shutting down the Kavkaz Center website, a site that supports creation of a Sharia state in North Caucasus and hosts videos of terrorist attacks on Russian forces in the North Caucasus.[30][31][32]
- In August 2008 Magomed Yevloyev, editor of Ingushetia.org, a vocal critic of the Ingushetia region's administration, was murdered.[33]
- During the December 2008 demonstrations in Vladivostok,[34] it was reported by the Kontury news website that FSB officers issued a request that moderators of the ru_auto Internet community remove stories about the protests. The major reason, as reported by a moderator of the resource, was that repeating posts containing information about the protests worsened people's attitudes. The moderator in question requested bloggers to publish only unique posts about protest actions.[35]
- In December 2009, Internet provider Yota, with over 100,000 subscribers[36] blocked access to some Russian opposition Internet resources for its Moscow-based subscribers for a few days. This occurred after the chief prosecutor of St. Petersburg recommended that the company prevent access to extremist resources. The only Internet resource listed as extremist by the Ministry of Justice of Russia at the time was that of the Caucasian separatists, KavkazCenter.ru. Since the evening of 6 December 2009, Yota allowed access to all previously blocked resources except KavkazCenter.ru.[37][38]
- On 8 April 2012, it was confirmed by Roskomnadzor that several Russian and English Wikipedia articles had been blacklisted.[39]
- In July 2012, the Russian State Duma passed the Bill 89417-6, which provided a blacklist of Internet sites.[40][41] The blacklist was officially launched in November 2012, despite criticism by major websites and NGOs.[13]
- The IP address of Lurkmore.to (Lurkomorye) was blocked on 11 November 2012 after a decision of the Federal Drug Control Service of Russia; the owner of the site told journalists he did not receive any communication from Roskomnadzor or the Federal Drug Control Service before the IP address was blacklisted.[42][43] Lurkmore.to was removed from the blacklist on 13 November 2012 after the website administrators deleted two marijuana-related articles.[44]
- The IP address of the Librusec online library was blacklisted on 11 November 2012.[45] According to a leaked copy of the blacklist, it was blocked for a description of marijuana soup in a Russian translation of The Anarchist Cookbook.[16] The IP address was unblocked on 13 November after The Anarchist Cookbook was removed by Librusec administrators.[46][47]
- On 31 March 2013 the New York Times reported that Russia was "Selectively Blocking [the] Internet".[48]
- On 5 April 2013, a spokesperson for Roskomnadzor confirmed that the Russian Wikipedia had been blacklisted because of the article, "Cannabis smoking".[49][50]
- On 7 August 2013, the Central District Court of the city of Tver, located 100 miles (160 km) north of Moscow, ruled that the official website of Jehovah's Witnesses should be banned throughout the Russian Federation. On 22 January 2014 the Regional Court of Tver reversed the earlier ruling by the lower court. The Regional Court conducted a new trial, which concluded that the decision of the Central District Court was unjustified.[51][better source needed]
- In March 2014, in the midst of the Crimean crisis, the LiveJournal blog of Alexei Navalny, Kasparov.ru and Grani.ru were blocked by the government. These sites, which opposed the Russian government, were blocked for "making calls for unlawful activity and participation in mass events held with breaches of public order."[52]
- In August 2014 a number of websites were blocked as the war in Donbass developed, including the Ukrainian news site, Glavnoe.ua,[53] a survey about the separation of the Caucasus from Russia[54] and numerous announcements and commentaries about the "march for Siberia federalisation".[55]
- In 2014, a media blackout was launched against a performance art project called Monstration scheduled for 17 August. Roskomnadzor issued warnings to fourteen media outlets for reporting the announcement.[56] The project was compared to Euromaidan, which led to the 2014 Ukrainian revolution.
- In October 2014 Roskomnadzor blocked the Internet Wayback Machine, well known for its Archive.org website.[57] A number of websites listing blocked addresses was also blocked, including such as Zapretno.info.[citation needed]
- In October and December 2014, a popular source code repository, GitHub, was temporarily blocked for hosting a page containing (mostly) satirical suicide instructions, frequently used to troll the Russian censorship system.[58]
- In December 2014 a Facebook page protesting an event against the prosecution of Alexey Navalny was blocked in the Russian Federation. A Roskomnadzor representative stated that the page was blocked because it promoted an "unsanctioned mass event".[59]
- In January 2015 a number of Bitcoin related websites were blocked (including bitcoin.org) because "it contributes to shadow economy".[60]
