Goodbye to Iain M Banks
8:03 pm in Uncategorized by Kit OConnell
A guilty system recognizes no innocents. As with any power apparatus which thinks everybody's either for it or against it, we're against it. You would be too, if you thought about it. The very way you think places you among its enemies. –from Iain Banks' Player Of Games
One of the greatest writers of our time, Iain Banks, has died.
From the BBC News's obituary of Banks:
Author Iain Banks has died aged 59, two months after announcing he had terminal cancer, his family has said.
Banks, who was born in Dunfermline, Fife, revealed in April he had gall bladder cancer and was unlikely to live for more than a year.
He was best known for his novels The Wasp Factory, The Crow Road and Complicity. In a statement, his publisher said he was 'an irreplaceable part of the literary world.'
A message posted on Banksophilia, a website set up to provide fans with updates on the author, quoted his wife Adele saying: 'Iain died in the early hours this morning. His death was calm and without pain.'
Banks is that rare author who could bridge both the worlds of genre fiction and so-called literary fiction. Even some of his mainstream works like The Wasp Factory borrow heavily from the imagery of genre (horror, in the case of Wasp Factory) but his incredible skill as a writer carried him above the genre ghetto.
On Firedoglake, I don't feel like I need to apologize for science fiction — we've held book salons with literary heroes of mine like Kim Stanley Robinson. But Banks' talent surpasses even Robinson. Many of my writer friends seem to be struggling today with the news, coming so soon after the cancer announcement just months ago. Author Neil Gaiman tweeted:
Iain Banks is dead. I'm crying in an empty house. A good man and a friend for almost 30 years. — Neil Gaiman (@neilhimself) June 9, 2013
Though science fiction is often a genre of grand ideas, I can think of few others in his field — with the exception of Ursula Le Guin — who have made me think so deeply about humanity in so many new ways. But unlike Le Guin, his main series — the Culture universe — is more than just a conceptual place to put stories. As one reads his books, the level of detail and forethought he put into his world building is staggering. Banks even created a new mathematically-derived alphabet used by the Culture which includes built-in encryption. Clumsier, less skillful authors bog down their stories with needless exposition that serves simply to show off their clever imaginary worlds; Banks, instead, nearly always begins in medias res and allows us to experience his glittering deep space creations.
"Fuck every cause that ends in murder and children crying."― Iain Banks, 1954-2013 #RIP— Stuart Immonen (@stuartimmonen) June 9, 2013
The Culture books center around the eponymous galactic society, largely populated by what are inherently humans, but surrounded by other sentient creatures of all kinds, and many cunning artificial intelligences too. The technology of the Culture is so far in advance of ours that the connection with humanity can become very tenuous — residents of the Culture have "drug glands" installed which allow them to control their emotions and bodily responses, or even get high with a thought. Gender, appearance, even the basic makeup of human bodies can be swapped with only a little effort. The society is post-capitalistic, with money unheard of except on the most backwater planets, and everyone is free to generally do as they please.
All these amazing conceits free Banks to deeply contemplate what it means to be human, the nature of human sexuality, human society, nearly every aspect of what we are. The alien races too create that wonderful funhouse mirror effect of the very best science fiction — intriguing us with their strangeness while simultaneously reflecting back on ourselves. If an alien society lasted so long that even their parasites evolved sentience, what kind of society would those parasites build and how would they interact with their former hosts?
This passage is a bit of philosophy from the Morthanveld, an aquatic species that appear in the novel Matter:

UN urges calm from Vietnam, China in disputed waters
Published on May 10, 2014 12:39 PM
UNITED NATIONS (AFP) - UN Secretary General Ban Ki Moon called on China and Vietnam to "exercise the utmost restraint" in the South China Sea, UN deputy spokesman Farhan Haq said on Friday.
Mr Ban "noted with concern the escalating tensions in the South China Sea, in particular between China and Vietnam," the spokesman said in a brief statement.
"He urges the parties concerned to exercise the utmost restraint and resolve their dispute in a peaceful manner, through dialogue and in conformity with international law, including the UN Charter."
Tensions between the communist neighbours have risen sharply since Beijing unilaterally announced last week it would move a drilling rig into disputed waters.

Thanks for all your lovely wishes during our engagement! DH (heehee) and I are just hanging out in the living room with some friends, looking at photos, chitchatting, and one person is knitting :) The wedding day went incredibly well - it was so much fun! (and nothing major went wrong)
DH and I met up for a few minutes alone in the hotel's atrium and then we did photos. I'm so glad we did photos first, because it cleared up all my nerves and was a blast!
DH coming in with A__:
Here's me coming in with my Dad and SM:
Here's when our officiant told us to make out:
Now we're coming back in to the reception:
I'm not sure what we're laughing at, but we look awfully happy!!
First dance:
Me and my dad, crying while laughing (my family loves to cry):
My 9yo nephew wanted to spin me when we were dancing:
My 6mo nephew has the world's cutest pout:
And this is the funniest photo ever - I was doing a goofy dance to Ice Ice Baby, and tried to teach it to my dad, who was demanding "some slow sh17" to dance to... But he couldn't figure out the dance, so he just started pumping his suspenders at me, which made me laugh my butt off!
The wedding was a blast!
Here's me and a dear family friend (we cried when we saw each other - like I said my family loves to cry!)
Follow-Up Postings:
Don't you all look like you had a wonderful time! A__ is soooo cute I could just hug him to bits (and I bet he'd hate that :-) ). And your DH looks so HAPPY! Often in wedding photos the groom looks somewhat apprehensive, or "what the hell have I done????", but your DH is so relaxed and smiley. Good sign! Congratulations to you both, a long and happy life together. |
congratulations ceph....I'm glad that everything went so well for you. Now you can relax! Blessings to you and your new hubby and little A_ _. |

Osamu Tezuka (手塚 治虫, born 手塚 治 Tezuka Osamu?, 3 November 1928 – 9 February, 1989) was a Japanese cartoonist, animator, film producer, activist, and medical doctor who never practiced medicine. Born in Osaka Prefecture, he is best known as the creator of the comics series Astro Boy, Kimba the White Lion, and Black Jack. His prolific output, pioneering techniques, and innovative redefinitions of genres earned him such titles as "the father of manga", "the god of comics",[1] and "kamisama of manga".[2] Additionally, he is often credited as the "Godfather of Anime" and is considered the Japanese equivalent to Walt Disney, who served as a major inspiration during Tezuka's formative years.[3]
Osamu Tezuka was born the eldest of three children in Toyonaka City, Osaka.[4][5] His nickname was gashagasha-atama (gashagasha is slang for messy, atama means head). His mother often comforted him by telling him to look to the blue skies, giving him confidence. His mother's stories inspired his creativity as well. Tezuka grew up in Takarazuka City, Hyōgo and his mother often took him to the Takarazuka Theatre. The Takarazuka Revue is performed by women, including the male characters. The Takarazuka Revue is known for its romantic musicals usually aimed at a female audience, thus having a large impact on the later works of Tezuka, including his costuming designs. He has said that he has a profound "spirit of nostalgia" for Takarazuka.[6]
Tezuka started to draw comics around his second year of elementary school. Around his fifth year he found a bug named "Osamushi". It so resembled his name that he adopted osamushi as his pen name. He came to the realization that he could use manga as a means of helping to convince people to care for the world. After World War II, he created his first piece of work (at age 17), Diary of Ma-chan and then Shin Takarajima (New Treasure Island), which began the golden age of manga, a craze comparable to American comic books at the time.[7]
As an indication of his productivity, the comprises some 400 volumes, over 80,000 pages; even so, it is not comprehensive. His complete oeuvre includes over 700 volumes with more than 150,000 pages.[8][9]
When he was younger, Tezuka's arms swelled up and he became ill. He was treated and cured by a doctor, which made him want to be a doctor. However, he began his career as a manga artist while a university student, drawing his first professional work while at school. At a crossing point, he asked his mother whether he should look into doing manga full-time or whether he should become a doctor. At the time, being a manga author was not a particularly rewarding job. The answer his mother gave was: "You should work doing the thing you like most of all." Tezuka decided to devote himself to manga creation on a full-time basis. He graduated from Osaka University and obtained his medical degree, but he would later use his medical and scientific knowledge to enrich his sci-fi manga, such as Black Jack.[9][10]
Tezuka's creations include Astro Boy (Mighty Atom in Japan), Black Jack, Princess Knight, Phoenix (Hi no Tori in Japan), Kimba the White Lion (Jungle Emperor in Japan), Unico, Message to Adolf and Buddha. His "life's work" was Phoenix—a story of life and death that he began in the 1950s and continued until his death.[11]
In January 1965, Tezuka received a letter from American film director Stanley Kubrick, who had watched Astro Boy and wanted to invite Tezuka to be the art director of his next movie, 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968). Tezuka could not afford to leave his studio for a year to live in England, so he refused. Although he could not work on it, he loved the film, and would play its soundtrack at maximum volume in his studio to keep him awake during long nights of work.[12][13]
Many young manga artists once lived in the apartment where Tezuka lived, Tokiwa-sō. The residents included Shotaro Ishinomori, Fujio Akatsuka, and Abiko Motou and Hiroshi Fujimoto (who worked together under the pen name Fujiko Fujio).[14][15]
Tezuka died of stomach cancer on 9 February 1989 in Tokyo,[1] coming about one month after the death of Hirohito, who had been the Shōwa Emperor of Japan, including during World War II. His last words were: "I'm begging you, let me work!"[16]
The city of Takarazuka, Hyōgo, where Tezuka grew up, opened a museum in his memory.[5] Stamps were issued in his honor in 1997. Also, beginning in 2003 the Japanese toy company Kaiyodo began manufacturing a series of figurines of Tezuka's creations, including Princess Knight, Unico, the Phoenix, Dororo, Marvelous Melmo, Ambassador Magma and many others. To date three series of the figurines have been released.
Tezuka's legacy has continued to be honored among Manga artists and animators. Artists such as Hayao Miyazaki (Spirited Away) and Akira Toriyama (Dr. Slump and Dragon Ball),[17] have cited Tezuka as inspiration for their works.
From 2003 to 2009, Naoki Urasawa and Takashi Nagasaki adapted an arc of Astro Boy into the murder mystery series Pluto.[18] Tezuka was a personal friend (and apparent artistic influence) of Brazilian comic book artist Mauricio de Sousa. In 2012, Mauricio published a two-issue story arc in the Monica Teen comic book featuring some of Tezuka's main characters, such as Astro boy, Black Jack, Sapphire, and Kimba. Joining Monica and her friends in an adventure in the Amazon Rainforest against a smuggling organization chopping down hundreds of trees in the jungles of the Amazon. This was the first time that Tezuka Productions has allowed overseas animators to use Tezuka's characters.[19]
Tezuka is known for his imaginative stories and stylized Japanese adaptations of western literature with reading novels and watching films that came from the West. His early works included manga versions of Disney movies such as Bambi.[20] Tezuka "cinematic" page layouts, influenced by Milt Gross' early graphic novel He Done Her Wrong which he read as child became a common characteristic for many manga artists who followed in Tezuka's footsteps.[21] His work, like that of other manga creators, was sometimes gritty and violent.
Tezuka headed the animation production studio Mushi Production ("Bug Production"), which pioneered TV animation in Japan.[22] The distinctive "large eyes" style of Japanese animation was invented by Tezuka,[23] drawing inspirations on Western cartoons and animated films of the time such as Betty Boop, Mickey Mouse and many Disney movies.

The Osamu Tezuka Manga Museum (宝塚市立手塚治虫記念館?, lit. "Takarazuka's Tezuka Osamu Memorial Hall") was inaugurated on April 25, 1994, and has three floors (15069.47 ft²). In the basement there is an "Animation Workshop" in which visitors can make their own animation, and a mockup of the city of Takarazuka and a replica of the table where Osamu Tezuka worked.
On the ground floor on the way before the building's entrance, are imitations of the hands and feet of several characters from Tezuka (as in a true walk of fame) and on the inside, the entry hall, a replica of Princess Knight's furniture. On the same floor, is a permanent exhibition of manga and a room for the display of anime. The exhibition is divided into two parts: Osamu Tezuka and the city of Takarazuka and Osamu Tezuka, the author.
On the first floor are held several exhibitions and are available a manga library, with five hundred works of Tezuka (some foreign editions are also present), a video library and a lounge with a decor inspired by Kimba the White Lion.
There is also a center of glass that represents the planet Earth and is based on a book written by him in his childhood called "Our Earth of Glass".
Tezuka is a descendent of Hattori Hanzo,[34] a famous ninja and samurai who faithfully served Tokugawa Ieyasu during the Sengoku period in Japan. His son Macoto Tezuka, would later become a film and anime director.[35] Tezuka gave guidance to many well-known manga artists, such as Shotaro Ishinomori and Go Nagai.
Tezuka enjoyed bug collecting, entomology, Walt Disney, baseball, and licensed the "grown up" version of his character Kimba the White Lion as the logo for the Seibu Lions of the Nippon Professional Baseball League.[35][36] Tezuka met Walt Disney in person, who wanted to hire Tezuka. Tezuka was a fan of Superman and was made honorary chairman of the Superman Fan Club in Japan.[37]
Tezuka was an agnostic, but was buried in a Buddhist cemetery in Tokyo.[38]

I did call them and they informed me it would be a hp in the middle of them asking for my information and I said I did not want a HP and so they backed out of it with no problem. They are the only creditor that I have where the credit limit is just not budging. It's also one of my most used cards.

Aston Villa have upped their offer for Charlton midfielder Dale Stephens, Sky Sports understands.
And it is understood the 22-year-old has told the Championship club he wants to move to Villa Park.
Sky Sports revealed earlier this week that Villa had lodged a bid for Stephens but that offer of around £1.5million was rejected.
Villa have now increased their offer, believed to be £2million, and are hopeful of landing him on Friday.
Charlton do not want to lose Stephens, but the player has confirmed to the club his desire to leave and the two clubs are now in talks over a deal.
Villa boss Paul Lambert says he is hoping to hear back from Charlton sooner rather than later.
He said: "I've not heard anything back from that one. That is in Charlton's
court at the moment."

There are no permanent friends or enemies in politics, said YSR Congress leader Dadi Veerabhadra Rao here on Saturday when he was asked how he would work along with a senior leader Konathala Ramakrishna who has been with the party since its inception and who is his main political rival for the last few decades in Anakapalle.
Earlier hundreds of supporters who came from Anakapalle received him and his son Ratnakar at the airport as the duo arrived in the district for the first time after quitting Telugu Desam and joining YSR Congress.
Later when they reached Anakapalle, supporters carried both on their shoulders and took them inside Mr. Rao's office at Lakshminarayana Nagar. He thanked his supporters and left for his home.
Very few TDP leaders who sided with him after he joined YSR Congress were present.
Talking to reporters at the YSR Congress' city unit office here, Mr. Veerabhadra Rao said there was a political vacuum in the State and only YSR Congress leader Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy could fill it. "The Congress and TDP are trying hard to keep him in jail but sympathy for him will only increase", he said. After NT Rama Rao, Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy started many welfare programmes for people but both TD and the Congress failed to continue with them. People had seen the Congress and TD rule and now they want Mr. Jagan as Chief Minister, he said and wanted all to support Mr. Jagan's family.
The former TDP leader said he did not want any top posts in the YSR Congress and was ready to discharge the duties given by Mr. Jagan.
Mr. Rao and his son were received at the party office by city president Vamsikrishna Yadav, MLA Golla Babu Rao, and senior leader G.V. Raviraju.

I'm wanting to buy a Traveler palm, but I can hardly tell the difference between them and the giant white bird of paradise. Is there anyway to tell the difference at a 5 gallon size, the nursery people around here aren't that relyable to distinguish them, but they are both pretty common around this area I live(not in my profile).
Thanks |
Follow-Up Postings:
Traveler's palm tend to grow in one fan-like plane. This characteristic even distinguishes it from the Giant Bird at a young stage (5 gallon size). Usually, outside of quite tropical areas, it's the Giant Bird that tends to be sold as a relatively easy houseplant. Are Traveler's actually hardy on the north coast of California?! Was under the distinct impression that they are more tender than Strelitzia (BOP)species. I'll go out later and see if I can give you a better comparison by looking at my own plants. My Traveler's is in a 5 gallon and the bird in a ten gallon or so. |
- Posted by tropicallvr north coast Cal (My Page) on Wed, Jul 16, 08 at 12:43
Thanks njoasis- I still can't tell the difference when they are coming up as pups next, to the parent, but I'll go and check again around the neighborhood to see again. I'm not on the north coast any longer, just haven't updated my profile. |
- Posted by central_cali369 z9 CA (My Page) on Wed, Jul 16, 08 at 12:58
I don't know what difference there is at the five gallon size, but i wouldn't buy one from someone who doesn't know either! lol. I'm sure there are plenty of nurseries around who sell them. Get the phone book and give local nurseries a call, and ask them for the travelers palm throught its scientific name (ravenala madagascarensis). Even if they don't have one in stock, they may be able to get one for you. njoasis, the west coast is very mild, even up to the Canadian border. For northern Cal, Oregon and Washington, the "mild" effect is only right along the coast though, and diminished as you go inland. People in Eureka are able to grow Draceanas Fragans, Phoenix Canariensis, Washingtonia Robusta, Norfolk Island Pine, Strelitzias, Syagrus Romanzoffiana, Ensete Ventricosa, all without protection. I will admit though, that because they are plagued with never-ending fog, and lack the heat even in summer, everything grows painfully slow, and if damaged, takes forever to recover. |
I understand the West coast has mild winters by Eastern standards, but Travelers want TROPICAL conditions to excel and as mild as S.Francisco or Eureka or Vancouver may be, they ain't tropical!--Or has GW been operating on the left coast faster than the right. |
- Posted by tropicallvr north coast Cal (My Page) on Wed, Jul 16, 08 at 22:22
What's with you guys? I said on both posts that I haven't updated my profile, and I don't live in California any longer, and it's gets turned into to "left coast" BS. Whatever, I'll figure it out. |
Geez, and I thought the west coast was the mellow coast. Guess we know why you moved! |
Hi, My suggestion is the travelers palm leaves are more like a banana tree, and the BOPv leaves look like large Spath (closet plant) Look them both up on google, Dave's garden usually has some great pictures. I have used that as a reference before. I wish I could have a trvelers palm here where I live darn it!!! |
Tropicallvr why didn't you just say where ya live; tropical livers should have some aloha. and you kind of came off in your post as very angry. People are on here to share and help. Anyway I just tried to take a couple pups off a big Travelers. Does anybody know how much of the part that joins to the parent needs to be taken with the pup? I'm hopin I got enough to make the pup grow. Mahalo |
I've never seen a Travelers in person-seen a jillion GBOP.From looking over a few internet photos of very young Travelers they seem to have smoother,flatter leaves and that more distinctive flat plane growth is there also.In strong light the bases can be golden.GBOP petioles never turn golden. BUT,I can also see that if grown in weaklight and underwatered it can be very,very, hard to tell from GBOP. I would think also the price would be a sharp difference and might be the real tip off. Tell me,how ya going to grow that near Eureka??? ..it's too cold and fog.. joking!! I know your in old Meheaco where it will grow like a weed.And not the kind of weed grown on the north coast... |

text: The Practice of Reading reads best as a love poem to the joys and complexities of literary language, as when Donoghue explicates texts ranging from Shakespeare's Macbeth to Cormac McCarthy's Blood Meridian. These sample readings are unfailingly perceptive, imaginative, and fair, and his depth of reference is impressively broad. Donoghue's brand of aesthetic formalism is an approach just old- fashioned enough to find favor again. In any case, his extraordinarily lucid and elegant prose means that this book deserves an audience far wider than that of contemporary academicians--who are sure to hate it, anyway.

Anti-Gore Hate Mail Campaign Too Obvious to Be Believed
If you're looking for evidence of the gathering campaign to game the public conversation about climate change, check out this CNN post of Al Gore's presentation to the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
Scroll to the bottom of the story and you will see that in less than two hours from the time of posting, the story attracted more than 150 comments, nearly all of them hysterical, bitchy, vitriolic sneers or classic denier talking points.
In a country that just elected President Barack Obama, this is not a representative sample - and I don't believe for a minute that this is accidental. It would be interesting if CNN could check the IP addresses (or maybe, the IP ADDRESS) on these enthusiastic media consumers. I suspect that would prove this is a fix.
Previous Comments
There's a simpler, less sinister explanation: the article was posted on a Denier mailing list or forum and they all poured in to drown the comments with their usual stupidity.
The fact that the Deniers are now becoming irrelevant to the conversation, given the new scientifically literate president, means that they're just shrieking louder. Death throes, hopefully.
The Deniers is a new user group on the internet of our days. Looks like thier logic was broken in their childhood. Or maybe they are children?

That's rather paranoid Richard. Why in the world would posts be a representative sample?
Read articles at the Huffington Post or Andrew Revkin's Dot Earth blog and you will find the precise opposite: nearly every post is supportive of AGW. However, nobody claims anything nefarious in those instances.
Your response is incoherent Frank.
I questioned why Richard would assume any site on the internet would be "representative". Lord knows, the Huffington Post isn't. There is, however, nothing dark or sinister about this.
Well, well, well, I see that you're trying to backpedal away from your suggestion that commenters on HuffPo are left-biased, and slowly move towards the weaker claim that the authors on HuffPo are left-biased.
Then again, it's an inactivist tenet – "Clinton did it too!" – that any bogus actions on their part are more than 'balanced' by some climate activist's action which is even remotely similar in some remotely remote way.
– bi
On a CNN story, I would have expected the comments to lean the other way if anything.
"The size and speed of this response - and the consistency or tone and messaging in the content - suggests something fairly well organized … and therefore entirely disingenuous."
Why? That is a circular arguement where the only "evidence" are your unfounded assumptions Richard. It doesn't sound like you've been following other websites and their comments on AGW for long.
All done in an 1 1/2 hours, just about a continuous feed of negative stuff, then the comments were closed. The ratio of negative/positive AGW way different from normal. Had to have been coordinated.
The general public does not have the standard denier cant (Mars warming, climate always changing, solar variation, etc.) at the top of its head. The people who tell me personally "I don't believe in global warming" either have no reason, or make up a different one than given by the professional denier community.
I've been convinced a lot of posts against AGW originate from paid sources. I've noticed that certain deniers get there first on many blogs, like DotEarth. This demonstration is the most convincing. If CNN doesn't check IP's addresses it should.
I'm just surprised anyone would go to the trouble of coordinating a response like that. I mean who is even going to read all those comments. I read about 10 of them. I figure that when comment threads go on that long, they are pretty much unread. Especially when they all say the same thing.
That is a shortsighted way to run a media empire. Such blatant tunnel vision will turn away viewers. Advertisers would be smart to seek other media outlets than CNN.

Progressive Field
Attendance: None
Cleveland, OH (Sports Network) - Josh Hamilton went 4-for-4 with two doubles, a pair of runs batted in and a run scored, leading the Texas Rangers to a 4-1 victory and a series win over the Cleveland Indians.
Hamilton's four hits were a season-high, and the two-time All-Star went 9- for-12 with four RBI and four doubles in the three-game series, as the Rangers finished a 10-game road trip at 5-5.
Michael Young, Marlon Byrd and Hank Blalock each had a pair of hits in the win, and Scott Feldman (12-4) allowed one run on seven hits and two walks with six strikeouts in six strong innings.
"It was a battle for Feldman today," said Texas manager Ron Washington. "But he hung out there and made pitches when he had to. He got out of some tough situations and gave us six solid innings."
Neftali Feliz pitched two perfect innings of relief, striking out five, and Frank Francisco earned his 16th save.
Grady Sizemore, Luis Valbuena and Jamey Carroll each had two hits, while Shin- Soo Choo drove in the lone run for the Indians, who had a three-series winning streak snapped.
Jeremy Sowers (4-8), after giving up four runs in his previous three outings, allowed four runs on eight hits and a walk in just 5 1/3 frames to absorb the loss.
"We couldn't take advantage of a couple of opportunities today," said Sowers. "Their pitching did what it did the whole series and that is throw a good game."
After Sowers got out of a bases loaded jam in the first, Cleveland jumped out in front in the home half.
Carroll hit a one-out single and moved to third on Asdrubal Cabrera's base hit up the middle. Choo then lofted a sacrifice fly to left for the early advantage.
Texas rallied in the third to take the lead. Young singled with one out, and Andruw Jones laced a two-out double off the wall in left to move the runner to third.
Hamilton followed with a shallow fly ball to left that was just out of reach of a diving Trevor Crowe, falling in for a two-run double.
Elvis Andrus' solo homer in the fifth extended Texas' lead to 3-1. David Murphy added a sacrifice fly in the sixth to make it a three-run game and end Sowers' outing on the hill.
Feldman lasted through the sixth without giving up another run, Feliz was masterful for two scoreless innings, and Francisco pitched around a leadoff double in the ninth to seal the victory.

The card books for $100 (High Book), so i know their are at least 25, but how can you figure out if their are 50??? or 500?? Does UD know the production run or does Becketts???

 Secondly, i wanted to know about Press Proof cards. Are these simply concidered parallel cards??? Or, are these the original proofs of a particular card, making them short prints???

Ok first off with the overall rating i gave it a 4 instead of a 5 because of the packaging and size. To be honest u really cant fit that lip balm into ure back pocket..( i cant cuz i have a big butt!) any who u really cant trust that it wont fall out of ure pocket!. The price for my lip balm was 2.99 plus tax so 3.20. for me that is really good because i dont like buying 5 dollar skinny short lip balms that i can loose easily! when i first put the lip balm on it was smooth and soft and it was also very easy for me because i have somewhat plup lips so the size of the balm was fine for me. if you have thin small lips then i would suggest the skinner version. LOVE THIS LIP BALM AND WILL PROBABLY BE FINISHED IT BY AUGUST! the smell kinda bothers me but at the end of the day i dont need my lips smelling like perfume. if u have dark lips then the balm will probably have a shinny finish to it. since the color of my lips are pink the lip balm wont affect me that much.(BTW i got the Strawberry/Fraise)

Ugh...got the cherry Juicy Balm. Horrible staying power and this actually BURNED my lips. On top of that, it left a rash just above my lip line. Not a good product. Stick with Chapstick.

I bought the watermelon one because I thought it smelled juicy and refreshing for summer. It's very slippery and liquid-y and it doesn't really feel like it's sinking into my lips. While it smells beautiful in the packaging, it tastes weird and chemically on my lips. Rather sickening. I also left an awful green sheen on my lips meaning that I can't wear it outdoors for fears of green lips and strange looks. I usually wear it going to sleep as overnight moisture as it's flaws don't bother me too much then. I wouldn't buy watermelon again, perhaps another flavour?, Although the consistency is off putting.

I have all four flavors of these balms. As a whole, they glide on very smooth. They have a very wet, slippery formula. They don't feel drying, they make my lips feel smooth and hydrated. As for actual moisture, they don't provide any deep moisture and won't help chapped lips. They are better for locking in moisture to lips that don't need much deep hydration. Unfortunately for me, the packaging broke on one of my balms. The white part with the writing came unattached from the base. It's not unusable, just annoying. The clear caps also come off very easily. Even though these don't claim to be tinted, they do give off color; so if your not into that, stay clear. These balms also give off a decent amount of shine.
Raspberry: This one is my favorite of the bunch. It gives off the most color, I'd say more than most of my tinted balms, while still looking a lot more natural than a lipstick. The color is a bright pinky fushia. It's definitely a blue, cool toned pink. It comes off exactly like it does it the tube, just much more sheer. It has an odd scent, it doesn't smell anything like raspberries. It smells a little like crayons mixed with cherries. Don't be scared of the scent though, it's not strong and you can't smell it on your lips.
Cherry: This one also gives off a decent amount of color. The color is a sheer orange based red. I find this color rare in a tinted balm, most red balms are blue based red and show up pinkish on the lips, such as Babylips in Cherry Me. It gives your lips that same sheer orange based red, and makes them look like you just had a cherry popsicle. The smell kind of smells like artificial cherries, but also kind of smells like Kool-Aid with an odd base scent. It smells nothing like classic cherry Chapstick or other cherry lip balms. But again, you can't smell it on your lips.
Strawberry: This one's color is more sheer. It's a pretty light pink, that gives a very subtle tint to the lips. It's not as pigmented as Raspberry or Cherry. Just like with the rest of these, it has a very odd scent. It kind of smells like a sour candy, with a very artificial fruit smell.
Watermelon: When I swatch this one, it's a sheer yellowish green color. On my lips though, it is clear and looks like any other clear balm. As for the scent, it has that waxy crayon smell, with hints of very artificial smelling melon.
In conclusion, these balms are not must haves for moisturizing. But, they are inexpensive and most of them have a nice tint. I would recommend Raspberry for the beautiful tint, and also Cherry if you are into orange based reds.

Not super moistyrizing but alright for my chapped lips. I got it in strawberry, and the scent is nice. The color payoff is also perfect--just the right amount of pink to be pretty but natural. I'll likely go back and buy a few other colours, not a bad idea considering how cheap they are. One lippie off because of the taste like other people mentioned, but not a deal breaker for me!

I recently purchased this lip balm in cherry. I was hoping it would give me a beautiful red tint to my lips, and it did! Not too sheer, but not over the top either. It's just right. Not like a lipstick or balm in my opinion. A perfect equilibrium. The only downsides are the fact that it tastes absolutely awful. Have you ever accidentally gotten sunscreen in your mouth? Well, that is what it tastes like. I'm going to assume because it has SPF 15 and has the same relative ingredients that a sunblock would. The cap is also a pain. It sometimes nicks the top of the stick and I have to wipe it off to keep it from getting on the tube or my hands/clothes. Other than that, I do like the color and the fact that it keeps my lips from getting burnt to a crisp in the hot summer sun.

I have the Watermelon Juicy Balm, and while there are a few things I like about it, it just isn't a hit for me. As far as moisturizing goes, I think it does a good job. I put it on one night when I had chapped lips, and when I woke up the next morning they were smooth again. I really love the sheer green color because it reminds me of Enid Coleslaw from Ghost World. :P I also adore the packaging because it's so chunky and quirky. Sadly though, the balm smells and tastes AWFUL to me. When I put it on, I get a really bad, "chemical-y" taste on my tongue. It smells gross and artificial, too. It's a shame because if it wasn't for the smell and taste, I think it would be a great product!

It smells horrible after some days using it something like chemicals, you can feel the smell in your throat, literally it makes me sick, I get stomachache every time I use it. I like the colours they look so natural but my lips are dryer than before. I am no picky with makeup specially with the cheap one but I cant handle this. Definitely I won't use them again. I bought the four colours!!! I don't want to use them anymore, my stomach wouldn't resist

But very practical, and should have happened sooner. The overall efficiency of our society will increase if people buy more things at local stores. Less gas wasted on shipping, more money staying in its own communities.
Less gas wasted on shipping? Considering that the vast majority of consumer goods are not produced locally, how do they get to the local stores?

Just two days after Dr. Conrad Murray was declared guilty in Michael Jackson's June 2009 death, the Today show has released a preview of a sitdown between Murray and correspondent Savannah Guthrie. Guthrie's chat with Murray — filmed before the verdict was handed down — will air in two parts on Thursday and Friday morning in advance of a two-hour special Michael Jackson and the Doctor, which Murray filmed with U.K. Broadcaster Steve Hewlett in November 2009, before he was charged in Jackson's death. The documentary features behind-the-scenes footage of Murray's defense team as well as a particularly unsettling set of photos of Jackson's disordered home. In his Today interview, the doctor steadfastly maintained his innocence, essentially blaming Jackson's addiction for the singer's death. See exactly what Murray had to say and watch the full preview after the jump. READ FULL STORY
Tag: Things That Make Us Uncomfortable (11-20 of 51)
Taylor Swift does not take personal attacks lightly (after all, she wrote a song and filmed a video in response to a bad review), which is why her team sent a cease-and-desist letter to a gossip website because of a supposed topless photo of the 21-year-old country crossover superstar.
Over the weekend, Celebrity Jihad posted a photo of a curly-haired blonde girl lying topless across a bed, claiming that it was a leaked photo of Swift. Shortly thereafter, Celebrity Jihad received a letter from Swift's legal team asking that the photo be taken down, insisting that it was not in fact Swift.
The picture remains up at Celebrity Jihad, despite the site's acknowledgement of Swift's protest. A formal lawsuit could be the next step.
Here's the thing: The picture obviously isn't Taylor Swift, so this whole thing should theoretically go away pretty quickly. Still, with a hacker already arrested for unearthing nude photos of the likes of Scarlett Johansson and Christina Aguilera, the message to young female stars remains steadfast: Nobody can steal your nude photos if said pictures don't exist. Though if they can't, apparently, they're happy to fake it.

Cyndi Lauper flubs a line of 'The Star-Spangled Banner' at U.S. Open
It seems that tricky old "Star-Spangled Banner" has gotten the best of yet another pop star.
Before the semifinal match between Serena Williams and Caroline Wozniacki at the U.S. Open in New York City on Saturday, Cyndi Lauper sang the National Anthem, but the '80s pop icon made a noticeable mistake during her rendition.(Paging Christina Aguilera!) Instead of the line, "O'er the ramparts we watch'd were so gallantly streaming" Lauper belted out, "O'er the ramparts, we watched as our flag was still streaming." Listen below: READ FULL STORY
MTV VMAs wildest moments: EW predicts what's coming this Sunday
With the 2011 MTV VMAs just two days away, it got us thinking: Boy, some nutty things have happened over the years. Butts have been exposed, pop queens have kissed, and there have been just plain awkward moments.
The question now is what's going to happen next: Maybe Lady Gaga will wear a live animal—who knows? So while we wait for the madness to ensue, let's speculate! Below are some things that just might happen.
Award Theft
Kreayshawn's "Gucci Gucci" loses to Foster The People's "Pumped Up Kicks" in the Best New Artist category. While the band accepts their award, 'Shawn storms the stage (kind of like this guy) and steals the mic and the award, calling them and fellow nominees Tyler, The Creator, Wiz Khalifa, and Big Sean "basic b—-es." Tyler, of course, is the only one who finds this funny.

Sinead O'Connor posts personal ad on her own website: 'Am in desperate need of a very sweet sex-starved man.' See her demands!
Sinead O'Connor has kept a relatively low profile in the last few years. I always assumed she was living the leisurely life of the quietly aging singer-songwriter, composing tone poems in a lovely estate somewhere in the countryside.
But readers, I was wrong — dead wrong!
In a column originally written for the Irish Independent, O'Connor explains that she's been feeling a little bit unfulfilled lately. "My situation sexually/affectionately speaking is so dire that inanimate objects are starting to look good," she says, adding, "I tell you, yams are looking like the winners." After admitting to considering joining an Irish dating agency, she just comes right out and makes her plea: "Am in desperate need of a very sweet sex-starved man." And she has requirements, including:
–"He must be no younger than 44."
–"Must not be named Brian or Nigel." READ FULL STORY
Kanye West's 'Monster' video is finally here -- starring two Nicki Minajs and a lady werewolf: Watch it here!
Back in December, an unfinished version of Kanye West's video for "Monster," a standout (and star-packed) track from West's best-of-2010 album My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy) found its way onto the Internet.
Though it was obviously still rough—scenes and effects were clearly missing—the idea came across, with disturbing images of apparently dead women lying in bed with West and hanging from chains by their necks.
West finally released the official, finished version of the clip a full six months after that initial leak, and it's just as disturbing and fascinating as the rough cut.
Check it out below, though be warned—the lyrics are uncensored, and the images are pretty dark (and though there's no scandalous nudity, the ladies are scantily-clad enough to also make it unsafe for work).
Panic! at the Disco frontman Brendon Urie breaks ankle onstage, still finishes the show: Watch the video here
No one can ever say that Panic! at the Disco singer Brendon Urie isn't hardcore.
During a concert on Sunday night in Pompano Beach, Florida, Urie came down hard in the midst of a typically manic performance and managed to break his ankle.
While still onstage, he removed his boot and sock to assess the damage; a giant carbuncle had already formed. "What does this mean?" he asked the crowd between songs. "There's like a softball in my foot."
Luckily, fans caught the whole thing on tape, which you can check out the slightly gruesome video below:
Chris Brown flips out, walks off set on 'Good Morning America': What happened?

The 21-year-old R&B singer waited until his interview and first performance was over before storming into his dressing room, where insiders say he began shouting and tearing it apart.
Before ABC's building security arrived, Brown somehow shattered the window in his dressing room, smashing it up enough that glass fell onto the sidewalk below. Brown then tore off his shirt and left the building before a second scheduled performance. Watch the interview below: READ FULL STORY

Lil Kim's album cover depicts decapitation of Nicki Minaj-like figure
The feud between Lil Kim and Nicki Minaj just got ugly. Rather, it's gotten bloody.
The new album cover for Kim's Black Friday, which has been available for purchase via PayPal since yesterday, leaves little doubt that the pink-wigged head on the floor is an allusion to Kim's nemesis Nicki Minaj — although no one has confirmed, a.k.a. we can't prove anything. What we can prove is the following: Cartoon Lil Kim likes swords and leather, cartoon Lil Kim knows how to use swords, and magically, cartoon Lil Kim has the ability to strike a pose before the blood splatter has hit the floor. Fascinating.
Calls to Lil Kim and Nicki Minaj's camps have not been returned.
While we wait, what do you think of the cover, Mixers? Too far?

Janitorial and Sanitation Supplies (JanSan)
UPDATE: The Janitorial and Sanitation (JanSan) purchase channel is ready for use by federal agencies. Customers may place orders directly with JanSan purchase channel contractors and receive BPA pricing (see the Quick Guide document for online store information). Check back for additional updates regarding GSA Advantage!® availability.
GSA has established 18 blanket purchase agreements for a new strategic sourcing solution designed to help federal agencies purchase Janitorial and Sanitation (JanSan) supplies at discounted prices that are 15.9 percent lower than standard government pricing.
These awards represent a piece of the important role that GSA plays as America's Buyer, helping federal agencies acquire commonly purchased items at prices that are representative of the volume of products purchased across the federal government. The consolidation of purchasing under programs such as these will save taxpayer dollars, and drive necessary spending on these type of products to our small business partners, making a real and positive impact for government agency budgets and improving the bottom line for selected small businesses and suppliers.
From a market perspective, the total annual federal spend for these two product categories amounts to approximately $1.2 billion, of which $599 million is on products that would be available through the JanSan solution. GSA expects that the use of the JanSan solution can achieve a potential savings, resulting in $8 million saved in the first year, rising to $20 million a year with increased use.
In order to streamline product catalogs and ensure lower prices, GSA has grouped JanSan products into four categories:
- Cleaning Compounds and Related Dispensers;
- Non-Motorized Cleaning Equipment and Trash Receptacles;
- Paper Products and Related Dispensers; and
- Motorized Floor Cleaning Equipment and Accessories.
Within the four categories, a broad range of products are available, including:
- Disinfectants, degreasers, glass cleaners, laundry and dish detergents, bleach, hand soaps and sanitizers;
- Brooms, mops, brushes, trash receptacles and bags;
- Toilet paper, paper towels, facial tissues, seat liners; and
- Vacuum cleaners, wet/dry vacs, floor buffers, polishers and burnishers.
In addition to better pricing, GSA has made the process of buying janitorial products easier. There is less product duplication and, by streamlining the number of contractors, comparison shopping will be simpler. Plus, direct delivery will make shipping more prompt and cost-effective.
When the BPAs are available for use, agencies will be able to order direct from JanSan contractor websites, by phone or fax, or with a purchase card through GSA Advantage or DoD eMall.
The table below lists the BPA vendors and their corresponding four product categories.

Guns, pot plant seized at site of NC pit collapseBy MITCH WEISS
The Associated Press | April 09,2013AP PHOTO
Authorities work to rescue two children at a construction site Sunday in Stanley, N.C. Two television stations reported that two children were trapped under a home under construction in Lincoln County near Charlotte.STANLEY, N.C. Authorities have confiscated a marijuana plant and firearms from a North Carolina property where a man was digging a deep hole that collapsed on two children, including his daughter.
The bodies of 6-year-old Chloe Jade Arwood and 7-year-old James Levi Caldwell were pulled Monday from a 24-foot-deep pit in the town of Stanley, outside of Charlotte.
Rescuers had been digging for the children since Sunday, when the girls father, Jordan Arwood, called 911.
Later on Monday, sheriffs deputies removed firearms and the marijuana plant from the mobile home. The 31-year-old father is a felon who is not allowed to have guns. He was convicted in 2003 for possession of a controlled substance with intent to sell.
Weve been working a horrific scene here, Lincoln County Emergency Services spokesman Dion Burleson told reporters gathered near the rural site on a two-lane road dotted with modular and mobile homes.
Crews had been searching for the children since Sunday afternoon, when the girls father Jordan Arwood called 911 to report the collapse. Officials were on the scene within minutes but couldnt get to the children.
The father had been digging with a backhoe on the site earlier in the day, Sheriff David Carpenter said. He would not say what was being built or if Arwood was doing it alone or had professional help. He did say authorities didnt know of any permits that had been issued for the work or plans detailing the project.
Burleson described the pit as 20 feet by 20 feet with a sloped entrance leading down to the 24-foot bottom. The children were at the bottom of the pit retrieving a child-sized pickaxe when the walls fell in on them, Carpenter said.
He said his deputies would continue to investigate what happened.
In an interview with The Associated Press, Carpenter later said deputies had not yet interviewed the family living in the home but planned to follow up on neighbors reports that Arwood was excavating the two-story pit to build some sort of a protective bunker.
They were so distraught we hope to be able to talk to them today and come up with some information on that, Carpenter said. Its a very large hole. It would look to be something like that, but I dont know. ... Were going to find out exactly what his intentions were.
He said deputies would be speaking with county planning and zoning officials about any potential building code violations at the site.
Andrew Bryant, a planner with the Lincoln County Planning & Inspections Department, said no permits had been issued.
Neighbor Bradley Jones said the children often played in the pit when the boys father was working there. Jones, who said he works in construction, said there was no structure to support the pits tall dirt walls and that he questioned the man about the holes depth.
I told Chelsea not to go in, Jones said, referring to advice he gave his teenage daughter, who babysat the children. It was dangerous. There was nothing to reinforce those walls.MORE IN Wire NewsNEW YORK More than 35 million people along the Philadelphia-to-Boston corridor rushed to get...
