Background: Two weeks ago, the family of Alan Blueford and their supporters sought answers from the Oakland City Council about Alan's death — answers they have been seeking since their 18-year-old son was murdered by Oakland police officer Miguel Masso on May 6, 2012. Answers were not forthcoming. The council attempted to move on to other city business, including a resolution proclaiming Oakland an "International City of Peace." The community rose up in anguish and distress and said: No Justice, No Peace.
* * *
In an attempt to avoid facing an onslaught of distraught citizens again this evening, city administrators held behind-the scenes meeting where they discussed limiting the number of people who would be allowed in council chambers. It's comforting that they were able to focus on such matters while violence continued unabated on the mean streets of their city; five people were shot to death in the last couple of days.
Although such restrictive policies were not yet supposed to be in place for tonight's meeting, dozens, if not hundreds, of people were barred from entering the council chambers. Balcony seating was closed. I didn't attend, but I watched the livestreams and chatted online with people who were there. A friend who made it inside said that at the beginning of the meeting, there were only about 75 people present and many seats were empty. (There is seating for 216 and standing room for many more.)
According to media reports (which almost always underestimate crowds), about 100 people took part in the Interfaith March for Alan Blueford, which began at the Alameda County Courthouse and continued to City Hall for the meeting. Interfaith member and fearless Occupier Nichola Torbett says that the group blocked the streets at rush hour, without a permit. (Whose streets? Our streets!) Once they arrived at City Hall, many of these people were denied entrance to the council meeting by the police.
The meeting began just after 5:30 PM with Open Forum comments. I'm not sure I can adequately describe the clusterfuck that ensued. Adam Blueford, Alan's father, spoke first and said he had been offered a redacted version of the police report, but that did not really satisfy him. He seemed somewhat resigned and did not appear to expect that anything new would be revealed. Other Blueford family members begged for a response from the council — something, anything.
Council President Larry Reid was nothing if not inconsistent in his application of rules and time limits for speakers. The crowd chanted periodically, but was mostly quiet whenever someone was allowed to speak the truth. Many people who had signed up to comment were not actually present; several times the council instructed "staff " to go look for them and overrule the police who had been keeping them outside.
Once she was finally allowed to enter and address the council, Nichola, of the Interfaith Coalition, quoted Jeremiah:
They dress the wound of my people
as though it were not serious.
'Peace, peace,' they say,
when there is no peace.
Without reviewing the video archive, I can't remember whether Nichola stopped there or continued with the verse, which goes on to say:
Are they ashamed of their loathsome conduct?
No, they have no shame at all;
they do not even know how to blush.
Another commenter said that the police violence in Oakland is "an ongoing crisis, like hunger."
Oscar Grant's Uncle Bobby demanded a copy of the Oakland Police protocol [presumably for officer-involved shootings]. President Reid's exasperation at having to listen to the demands of yet another family member of yet another young man killed by police was evident. Poor Larry; that would exasperate just about anyone. Reid finally decided to cut the microphone just as Alan Blueford's mother, Jeralynn, stepped up. And that's not even the most outrageous or bizarre thing that happened. To wit:
- Mrs. Blueford managed to have her voice heard loud and clear without a microphone (scroll to bottom of link for video). Councilwoman Desley Brooks reacted to this righteous, heartfelt rant by conjuring up a couple of fake tears and telling Mrs. Blueford that she didn't need to "come here with all these people and yell." As my friends in the audience said, Desley was basically telling her to "drop the riffraff" (protestors) and trying to separate the Bluefords from the community. Desley told Mrs. Blueford to keep bringing the council new evidence and information. She even said that the Bluefords should put their issues on the council agenda! Because, you know, when the po-pos kill your child and then lie about it for months on end, it's your job as a parent to try to figure out WTF happened and make sure it's on the agenda . . . assuming the council will let you into the meeting . . . and keep the microphone turned on long enough for you to talk.
- Several council members said that the Brown Act (California's open meetings law) did not allow them to address any concerns put forth by citizens unless those items were on the agenda. Those of us at home furiously googled the Brown Act and discovered that, sure enough, "critics accuse public bodies of using provisions of the Brown Act to circumvent or thwart the Act's own intended purposes." If I am not mistaken, this "new rule" is a response to the threat of a lawsuit, since they seemed able to discuss the case to some degree at the meeting in May.
- Councilwoman Brunner, to her credit, tried to get the council to explain how and when they might be able to provide answers to the Bluefords — since the rules precluded them from actually fulfilling any part of their roles as elected representatives. Of course nothing came of that, but it was nice of her to try. Late news indicates that Reid actually did hand over a heavily redacted version of the police report to the Bluefords; they gave it to their attorney and there is no word yet as to what it may contain.
- Larry Reid continued to ad lib the rules and repeatedly threatened to have the police clear the chambers. About an hour or so into the meeting, Councilwoman Bitchface Libby Schaaf motioned that everyone who was not sitting quietly in their chair and minding their manners should be removed. Someone seconded the motion. People began to chant "We'll be back" and eventually most of them filed out, leaving the council to once again consider the "Oakland, City of Peace" resolution that had been held over from the previous meeting.
- At the exact moment that the Bluefords were being jacked around by the council, No-Show HoJo released a mealy-mouthed statement promising that information about the Blueford killing would soon be released to the public – and that, as always, he is unable to comment. And he doesn't blush.

Customer Raves & Reviews
Perfectly Classic and Rustic
Floral Lace Rectangle Invitations I was looking for a combination between classic and rustic and feel like this did the trick. We love our invites!
Excellent Customer Service
Abstract Flowers Rectangle Invitations On top of being a good product, they have wonderful customer service. I had issues using the "chat" feature because I made a mistake on my order. Instead of them waiting for me to try contacting them again later. They were proactive and e-mailed me! They put my order on hold until I told them what I needed. They added and then they got my order out in almost the same amount of time as promised. I would use them again and I would recommend to anyone looking for something with customization options and was one of the more inexpensive sites I found.
Great Value
Alluring Affection Rectangle Invitations I really enjoyed everything about my experience with MagnetStreet! I originally ordered samples to see if the low prices indicated low quality. I was WRONG! They had fantastic quality, great selection and very FAST processing. I worried that I waited too long to order my invites but the turn around by MagnetStreet to get me my invitations removed all of my concerns! The Quality of the invites was great and the packaging of the invites in a magnetic box with plenty of packaging ensured all of my invites arrived fully intact. The selection was fantastic as well! I really wanted everything I ordered to follow the same theme. MagnetStreet had everything I could think of in my theme from the Invites all the way to the placecards. And the ability to customize to my specific wedding colors was a fun bonus!
Great invitaitons and labels
Graphic Bloom Rectangle Invitations We ordered these invitations along with the matching RSVP cards and labels. The colors that we chose printed well and looked great in the final product. The invitations themselves have a very nice design. The graphic design reminded us of something from a comic book, so these will fit our book themed wedding very well. The overall quality was also very nice!
Amazing quality and presentation
Fancy Blossoms Rectangle Invitations I have ordered save the dates, invites, RSVP, information cards, return labels and I definitely plan on ordering thank you cards from magnet street! The quality is amazing. The packaging is very neat and comes in a beautiful Tiffany blue box. Customer service is also on point. They called me to verify an odd purchase I had made just to make sure I hadn't made a mistake. They are worth the price and very reliable! I love Magnet Street!

Staley: You got something that Bus and I don't have
It's good to see Jerome and Duce in Parkers corner.. what a team we have !!!!! :cheers:
http://www.pittsburghlive.com/x/trib.../s_374277.html Duce Staley hopped aboard the Willie Parker train last Sunday -- and he has no immediate intentions of jumping off. The nine-year veteran is willing to part with his No. 1 spot at tailback upon his return to the lineup, which could happen this week. Staley, who missed the season opener last Sunday while healing from Aug. 8 arthroscopic surgery on his right knee, practiced Wednesday and moved well. He is listed as questionable (50-50) for Sunday's game against the Texans in Houston. "I don't have the explosiveness that I've had, but it's slowly but surely coming back," said Staley, who sported a sleeve on the knee yesterday. "It's day-to-day right now. Hopefully, I can go out (today) and put two good days in. I'll see how I feel from there." Even if Staley gets clearance to play in Houston, he'll have no qualms with backing up Parker, who ran for 161 yards in the Steelers' 34-7 win against the Tennessee Titans at Heinz Field. In fact, he encouraged the coaching staff yesterday to stick with Parker, who was named the AFC's Offensive Player of the Week. Days earlier, tailback Jerome Bettis, who might miss his second game Sunday with a calf injury, endorsed Parker, as well. "If he's out there running and he's doing what he's doing, and putting up great numbers and we're winning, without a doubt - leave him in there," Staley said of Parker. "And Jerome will tell you the same thing. You got to understand we went through the same thing last year. I got hurt and Jerome went in, and we didn't miss a beat. So, here we go again. Willie comes in and we don't miss a beat." Staley would prefer to move into the lineup slowly, as opposed to jumping in feet first and being the featured back right away. "I have to be patient," said Staley, who ran for 707 yards the first seven games last season before giving way to Bettis due to a hamstring injury. "I've got to make sure I'm around for the long run. You definitely have to ease me back in. You have to understand I missed all the preseason and I missed those weeks building up to that, so I don't have any games under my belt right now. I think that's what I'm doing. Coach is pretty smart with that." There is a possibility Staley could be used on third downs, with Parker serving as the primary back. "Just getting back out there will help me," Staley said. "Right now, I want to be out there and want to play, but I'm not going to do anything to hurt the team. So, I'm not going to go out there in bad conditions. I'm not going to go out there and still be hurt and play. I'm only hurting the team doing that, so that's not going to be the case." Staley entered training camp as the Steelers' top back, but tore his lateral meniscus early on. He was expected to carry the load this season with Bettis serving as his primary backup. But while those two backs were nursing injuries, Parker emerged, highlighted by last Sunday's performance. "I told (Parker), 'You got something that Bus and I don't have - that's a couple gears,'" Staley said. "Bussie has one gear and I have two-and-a-half. ... But Willie definitely has five or six gears." Staley was quick to point out that neither he nor Bettis nor Parker would be putting up solid numbers without the Steelers' talented offensive line leading the way. "They need the spotlight just as much as we do," Staley said. |
Re: Staley: You got something that Bus and I don't have
Wouldn't you be excited to know come December you will be as fresh as you have been in years?
Re: Staley: You got something that Bus and I don't have
No doubt, it helped Jerome out tremendously last year when he was just our goal line guy for the first half of the season..he was running strong all the way thru the playoffs. The possibility of 3 star RB's healthy for the stretch run would be amazing. Let's hope they all stay that way too!
Re: Staley: You got something that Bus and I don't have
What I want most is to have all three guys healthy for the end of the season and post season!
Re: Staley: You got something that Bus and I don't have
Re: Staley: You got something that Bus and I don't have
i was down on duce for about a month cause he is always injured but with comments like this shows what kind of man he is and i will never lose respect for him cause he puts the team in front of his stats. this will be good for duce cause like some of ya'll said he'll have fresh legs come down the stretch of the season and in the playoffs. i can't wait for him to get fully healthy and then we got that one two punch that all the teams wish they had.
Re: Staley: You got something that Bus and I don't have
It's always nice to see this type of attitude. If all three of these guys are healthy at once we have one hell of a 1-2-3 punch!
Re: Staley: You got something that Bus and I don't have
I`m always on the other side? I`m not sure about Duces comments. Yeah on one hand he seems like the ultimate team player. But I have always, even when he was an Eagle, questioned his heart. Yes it would be easy for him to sit back and watch Willie run, and collect that big fat paycheck. Most guys would want to play more???????????????????????????????
Re: Staley: You got something that Bus and I don't have
He was a pretty good team player at philly, but he was stuck behind that 2 or 3 back rotation they always did..but he kept his mouth shut and played his heart out everytime he got the ball. but when contract time came, he left to a place that runs more and would give him more of a chance to shine. Inspite of the injuries he still seems to have a positive attitude about it, but he knows football is a team game and if a player has the hot hand, u gotta keep him in.
Re: Staley: You got something that Bus and I don't have
Props to Duce for being a team player...Class act putting the team first

*Price per box after purchasing a year supply from August 06, 2014 following ReplaceMyContacts price match guidelines.
Get the eye color you've always wanted with the FreshLook ColorBlends contact lenses. Composed with a unique three-in-one technology, FreshLook ColorBlends contacts offer a natural-looking color change for even the darkest eyes. With nine beautiful shades to choose from – Amethyst, Blue, Brown, Green, Grey, Honey, Pure Hazel, True Sapphire, and Turquoise – you'll find just the color you want. Also available for those with astigmatism or no prescription at all, these colored contacts are fun to wear and give you the naturally vibrant look you've been waiting for. FreshLook ColorBlends contacts are a great addition to any wardrobe. FreshLook ColorBlends lenses are manufactured with Ciba Vision technology to ensure enhanced comfort and crisp, clear vision throughout the day. Each box of one to two week disposable contact lenses contains six lenses individually packaged in a buffered saline solution. Material and % of content: 45% polymer (phemfilcon A), 55% water
How long do Freshlook Colorblends last? Freshlook Colorblends are designed to be two week disposable lenses, which means that you should get about 14 or 15 days worth or wear out of each pair. These lenses are packaged 6 lenses per box, which means, if your prescription is the same in both eyes, 1 box of FreshLook ColorBlends is 3 pairs, and should last you about a month and a half. If your prescription is different in each eye, you will need to order 2 different boxes of FreshLook ColorBlends, which gives you a total of 6 pairs, which should last you 3 months.
How well do Freshlook Colorblends for dark eyes work? FreshLook ColorBlends are specifically designed to work on people with dark eyes. How drastically they change your eye color will depend on your specific eye color and which brand of FreshLook ColorBlends you are trying. If you have extremely dark eyes, a FreshLook Colorblends Blue will probably not make as much of a change as FreshLook Colorblends Brilliant Blue, or Pure Hazel, because the Blue is a lighter color. FreshLook ColorBlends are designed with a darker ring on the outside, and a slightly lighter shade on the inside. This is to make the change in eye color appear more dramatic and noticeable. In general, the darker the lens, the more dramatically it will change your eye color. This is true for people with light eyes as well.
What are the best colors of Freshlook Colorblends for brown eyes? Which FreshLook ColorBlend works best for your eye color will depend on a variety of factors. Each person's natural eye color will affect the way the FreshLook ColorBlends looks. Your Eye Care Provider should be able to get samples for you to try on, and this is always recommended. In general, the more pigment, or color, on the contact lens, the more it will change the color of dark eyes. FreshLook ColorBlends has some lighter shades of Blue and Green that may look fantastic in the case, but chances are, once you get them on your dark colored eye, the change will be lessened. Look for deeper, vibrant, more dramatic FreshLook ColorBlends, like True Sapphire or Sterling Gray, to maximize the change in your eye color.

Why is it that most movies seem to be created in cooperation with some unknown studio?
I noticed that most movies appear to be created by a cooperation of at least one very well known studio (like Pixar, Paramount, Dreamworks, etc.) on the one hand and a company you've never heard of on ...

Though it has garnered a lot less attention than Amazon's Kindle Fire, Barnes and Noble's latest NOOK - the NOOK Tablet - it was released to solid reviews. The $50 price premium over the Fire - while warranted because of the doubled internal storage, doubled RAM, and SD card slot - also helped the Kindle Fire sell more units. Now, though, the Tablet is on sale for $199 with free shipping at eBay Daily Deals - meaning it matches the price of the less powerful Kindle Fire.
Leave it to the New York Times to stuff a zinger like this in a three-page piece on the future of the publishing industry; it looks like Barnes & Noble is set to announce a new Nook device come this Spring. This will be B&N's fifth Nook device, following the Nook Tablet.
From the New York Times:
Barnes & Noble announced today that it is considering selling its NOOK business, citing significant shortfalls in sales and cutting its full-year forecast.
B&N also cited NOOK sales which fell below expectations, and investments in advertising and expansion as reasons for a predicted shortfall in fiscal 2012 sales of between $200 million and $320 million less than average estimates of $7.32 billion.
The major bookseller indicated that it plans to market the NOOK for "years to come," but that it "over-anticipated the growth in consumer demand for single-purpose black-and-white reading devices this holiday," as the company's simplest e-reader lagged far behind in sales compared to other members of the NOOK family.
Amazon started pushing an update to the Kindle Fire yesterday, and two words that no Android geek wants to hear were muttered shortly after: breaks root. Unlike the previous update to the Fire, this update can't be re-rooted using SuperOneClick.
It's not all bad in Fire-world, though; for the un-rooted, this update brings a number of fixes and performance enhancements to the sub-$200 device:
If you're looking to get a NOOK Color this holiday season, and have an appreciation for hot discounts (who doesn't?), today's your lucky day. Barnes & Noble is now selling manufacturer refurbished units on eBay for just $129.99 with free shipping.
For those not familiar, the NOOK Color features a 7" VividView IPS display, an 800MHz processor, 512MB of RAM, and of course, access to over 2.5 million titles in "the world's largest bookstore."
While the NOOK Color may have recently been overshadowed by B&N's NOOK Tablet, it's still being supported, and is a great solution for the money.
A new device being rooted may raise few eyebrows nowadays, but for those of you looking for a nice cheap little tablet, the Nook Tablet has taken the first step to becoming yet another hobbyist's favorite. Given the enormous popularity of the Nook Color before it, this bodes well for the future of the Nook Tablet. However, with the release of the $200 Amazon Kindle Fire, no longer is the $250 Nook Tablet alone in American cheap-tablet market, so this development may well help to convince would-be buyers.
Things are getting a bit more interesting in the ongoing fight between Microsoft and Barnes & Noble. You'll remember that earlier this year, Microsoft began suing B&N for refusing to fork over Android-related fees from the Nook Color. Barnes & Noble has responded, alleging in its motion that Microsoft "is using its licensing practices to improperly broaden the scope of its patents in an attempt to dominate mobile operating systems such as Android that threaten Microsoft's monopoly in personal computer ("PC") operating systems." It may sound odd at first that Microsoft would be at Android's throat over PC operating systems, but indeed, it was recently discovered that Microsoft attempted to compel Google to provide its Android strategy, including information about Android's current abilities as a PC platform.
When the Amazon Kindle Fire was announced, we were all pretty excited about its tablet-meets-e-reader form factor, low price, and powerful hardware. Barnes & Noble has fired back this morning with an equally impressive device (and in some aspects even more so), albeit with a slightly higher price tag. As always, both devices offer features that make them unique from each other -- but, at the end of the day, which one is the better choice?
We've already heard the rumors surrounding Barnes & Noble's next NOOK device, and now those rumors have been realized. B&N just took the wraps off of its NOOK Tablet, and if you've been thinking about picking up a Kindle Fire, you may just want to reconsider. The NOOK Tablet is rocking some serious hardware:
- 7-inch IPS lamination display
- 1GHz dual-core processor
- 16GB storage with SD card slot
- Less than 1 pound
- Great battery life -- up to nine hours of video playback; 11.5 hours of reading time
While the hardware is a definite upgrade over the NOOK Color, the look of the device is nearly identical, so owners of the original NC will feel right at home with this device in hand.
Looking to keep pace with Amazon, it seems Barnes & Noble has something up their sleeve this month - the Nook Tablet. Coming to market in just under two weeks, the Nook Tablet is a dead ringer for the Nook Color, but it brings to the table substantially pumped up specs that, in some ways, surpass its nearest competition - the Kindle Fire.
A nice set of photocopied documents leaked out today, giving us all the details we need about the Nook Tablet - it's set to launch November 16th at a cool $249.

WVU Radiologic Technology
Program Overview:
The program in Radiologic Technology consists of 24 months of clinical and classroom instruction of approximately 40 hours per week. Classes start in July of each year and consist of an intregrated curriculum of didactic and clinical education in the various areas of the Radiology Department.Clinical assignments require students to participate in occasional evening clinical rotations. Clinical rotations are arranged so that students receive valuable experience in all aspects of diagnostic imaging to include routine, trama, mobile, and operating room radiography. The majority of the clinical and didactic education is conducted within the Radiology Department and the WVUH complex. Additional clinical education is conducted at Monongalia General Hospital, the program's clinical affiliate.
Upon completion of the program, a Certificate of Completion is awarded and the graduate technologist is eligible to sit for the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT) certification examination to qualify as a registered Radiologic Technologist. Although WVU Hospital is located on the WVU campus, the program is a 24-month certificate program, not a degree granting program. Subjects taken do not carry WVU credit, but provisions for transfer work under the Board of Regents Bachelors of Arts program may be pursued. Students can also complete the general education coursework to earn an Associate of Applied Science degree from Pierpont Community & Technical College.

The Vertex 4 is run off Indilinx's Everest 2 controller, and the first product to be wholly directed by OCZ since its purchase of the company. The hardware may be Marvell, but the firmware is all Indilinx.
Given the delay in seeing a third generation SandForce controller, it seems that the move has paid off for OCZ, with the Vertex 4 providing some tasty numbers indeed.
The M in the title denotes that this version (the VTX4-25SAT3-512G.M) uses Micron NAND instead of the usual Intel, which is used by the rest of the range. At AU$439, it's not a bad deal at all. While there's some forum chatter about Micron NAND being slower than Intel, OCZ's spec sheets are identical between the two.
The Vertex 4 is clearly targeted at the desktop, rather than laptops — the drives are 9.3mm high and come with a 2.5-inch to 3.5-inch adapter.

More copies of this ISBNBeautiful Visualization: Looking at Data Through the Eyes of Expertsby Julie Steele
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Visualization is the graphic presentation of data — portrayals meant to reveal complex information at a glance. Think of the familiar map of the New York City subway system, or a diagram of the human brain. Successful visualizations are beautiful not only for their aesthetic design, but also for elegant layers of detail that efficiently generate insight and new understanding. This book examines the methods of two dozen visualization experts who approach their projects from a variety of perspectives — as artists, designers, commentators, scientists, analysts, statisticians, and more. Together they demonstrate how visualization can help us make sense of the world.
Contributors include: Nick Bilton,Michael E. Driscoll,Jonathan Feinberg,Danyel Fisher,Jessica Hagy,Gregor Hochmuth,Todd Holloway,Noah Iliinsky,Eddie Jabbour,Valdean Klump,Aaron Koblin,Robert Kosara,Valdis Krebs,JoAnn Kuchera-Morin et al.,Andrew Odewahn,Adam Perer,Anders Persson,Maximilian Schich,Matthias Shapiro,Julie Steele,Moritz Stefaner,Jer Thorp,Fernanda Viegas,Martin Wattenberg,and Michael Young. Book News Annotation:This collection of twenty articles on data presentation and visualization presents a diverse discussion of the nexus of information and art in the digital medium. Beginning with an opening essay on beauty the work showcases several interesting projects and practices such as interactive visualization, Wordle, color and data graphics, New York City subway maps, flight patterns, visualizing Wikipedia, matrices and unfolding complex systems. The volume includes numerous color illustrations and code examples for parsing data and creating visualizations and access to additional online content is provided. Contributors include academics and professionals in the fields of computer science, media arts and technology. Annotation ©2011 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

Cabo Folklore Show
Believe this is a faily new offering in Cabo, has anyone done this excursion? Just wondering what it is like.....
Was wondering the same thing. Anyone done this excursion? :flower3:
I did the Mexican Fiesta and Folklore show in Cabo on the New Year's Eve cruise.
We took a tender over to Cabo from the ship and were taken by a coach to the restaurant, took about 10 mins to get there. The coach was very new, air conditioned and comfy.
The restaurant was clean and tidy and the servers were friendly and polite. I didn't really like the food. It was bland and set out as a buffet but there was not much of it. The people I was sitting with got up for seconds and everything had already been put away, which was disappointing. The dessert was a Churro. It was very well made but I was expecting something more.
The dancers were great. They were well trained and after the show, most of the kids got up to dance and then the MC got all the adults up and we all had a go at dancing, which was fun and made the excursion.
I feel if you go for the show, you won't be disappointed but if you go just for the food, you may be disappointed.
One point I feel that Disney should have told us about ( as I booked the excursion through Disney ) is that the Coach driver and the dancers expect a tip at the end. I was very embarrassed, as I only had a US$100 bill on me, so I could not give them a tip. Coming from Australia where tipping is not customary, I didn't even think to take some change with me. A lesson learned for the future.
Hope this helps! :)

Nightwish and Anette Olzon part ways
Published on 02.10.2012 7:57Nightwish has issued a statement informing us that Nightwish and lead vocalist Anette Olson have decided to part ways in a mutual understanding and on good terms. The band cites irreconcilable differences in direction and ambitions.
The band is still full of positive energy, and they have stated that they are not going to cancel any of the scheduled shows on the Imaginaerum World Tour. Instead, substitute vocalist Floor Jansen (ex-After Forever, ReVamp) jumped into action already yesterday in Seatle (1.10.2012).
"We forever remain excited about the adventures to come, and we are extremely proud of the two beautiful albums and the wonderful shows we have shared."

Tiny houses are big with consumers seeking economic freedom
July 12, 2014 10:42 PMDoug Immel recently completed his custom-built dream home, sparing no expense on details like cherry-wood floors, cathedral ceilings and stained-glass windows -- in just 164 square feet of living space including a loft.
The 57-year-old schoolteacher's tiny house near Providence, R.I., cost $28,000 -- a seventh of the median price of single-family residences in his state.
"I wanted to have an edge against career vagaries," said Mr. Immel, a former real estate appraiser. A dwelling with minimal financial burden "gives you a little attitude." He invests the money he would have spent on a mortgage and related costs in a mutual fund, halving his retirement horizon to 10 years and maybe even as soon as three. "I am infinitely happier."
Dramatic downsizing is gaining interest among Americans, gauging by increased sales of plans and ready-made homes and growing audiences for websites related to the niche. A+E Networks has begun airing "Tiny House Nation" a series on FYI that "celebrates the exploding movement."
The pared-down lifestyle allows people to minimize expenses and gain economic freedom, said architect Jay Shafer in Cotati, Calif., who founded two micro-building and design companies and is widely credited with popularizing the trend.
"It shows people how little some need to be happy, and how simply they can live if they choose," said Mr. Shafer, 49, who shares a 500-square foot home with his wife and two young children.
Despite gains in the labor and housing markets, Americans choosing mini-houses remain wary of tethering themselves to a mortgage.
People want "a more modest lifestyle now," said Derek Diedricksen, who travels nationally to lead building workshops. Those who opt for super-small structures don't want to "waste their time or be a slave to a house they don't fully use."
Defined as 500 or fewer square feet, tiny houses range from primitive 96-square-foot huts to award-winning displays of sustainable architecture with elegant streamlined design. While many are built on wheels to avoid regulations, mobility isn't the main draw.
Aldo Lavaggi, 36, can support himself as a folk musician in New York's Hudson Valley thanks to the 105-square-foot home he built on a friend's farmland in the Berkshires and has lived in since August 2012. His residence runs on a car battery and energy from two solar panels. He pockets enough cash to splurge on artisanal bread and gourmet cheeses from the local market. "I'm earning more than I spend," he said.
Even with the micro-trend, the number of tiny houses in the United States is, well, tiny -- just in the thousands per unofficial industry surveys. Their popularity is growing, however, as the U.S. homeownership rate has fallen to 64.8 percent, the lowest in almost 20 years, and the median size of new single-family houses is the biggest ever -- 2,384 square feet in 2013, a 3.4 percent increase from 2012.
Historically, residences under 500 square feet weren't considered "tiny." In 1950, houses averaged 983 square feet, according to data from the National Association of Home Builders. The first units in the iconic early American suburb of Levittown, N.Y., on Long Island, were 750 square feet.
Some advocates are refugees from the recent real estate bust. Macy Miller's 2,500-square-foot Idaho home was foreclosed on in 2007, following her divorce.
In 2011, Ms. Miller literally took matters into her own hands, building a 196-square-foot timber home on a trailer in Boise, Idaho. She completed it in 18 months for $11,000 with zero debt, pays $200 a month to rent the land and shares the space with her partner, their baby and a 100-pound Great Dane named Denver.
The largest share of inhabitants, 23 percent, are between ages 31 and 40, according to "The Tiny Life" blog, which surveyed more than 2,600 dwellers in the U.S. Almost 90 percent said they had at least some college education and 61 percent had zero credit-card debt.

CyberPatrol Update - Mattel Wins?
Mattel dig themselves deeper (207 comments)
They seem to be making the wrong moves at every stage, and really don't seem to understand how the internet (or its denizens) work. If they'd just accepted it, rewritten their encryption and released a statement saying that they were working on the problem of sites being wrongly censored it would probably all be forgotten by now. Instead they seem to be taking great pleasure in rubbing salt into the wound at every step.. threatning foreign nationals with a US court, trying to get the log files, sending email subpeonas to all the mirrors, and now mysteriously obtaining the copyright to the code and making themselves look damn sinister in the process. Not to mention the fact that they could have dragged the court case out for years, by which time probably very few people would have kept interest, now a lot of people who were pretty pissed off before know that they have no chance of vindication through the courts and they probably aren't going to just say "mustn't grumble" and put it down to experience.
Could it be that Mattel are actually doing this in support of free speach on the internet?? it seems the only possible logic in their actions....

Every day in July we're spotlighting books from our month-long Hidden Gems Sale, wherein we're featuring some of our under-the-radar backlist titles and encouraging you to try them by offering them at a nice discount of 25% off! The subject of today's spotlight, British cartoonist Carol Swain, has been acclaimed by Alan Moore and called "the Raymond Carver of British comics" by Time Out, yet somehow still remains something of a secret. Foodboy is about loss and hope, friendship, faith, and bonds that are tested when the paths of two boyhood friends diverge. Gareth and Ross live in a small Welsh village; when Ross ends up alienated from society and living in a near-feral state after an encounter with a visiting troupe of Evangelists, it falls to Gareth to try to help him. Foodboy is drawn in Swain's trademark style of exquisite panel compositions. 80-page black & white 7" x 10" softcover A disquieting meditation on teenage fantasies in the tradition of Heavenly Creatures and The Miracle, Swain's first full-length graphic novel tells the story of Dai, Helen, and Ivan, three friends who believe that the earthquake that rocked their hometown was caused by — yes — a crashlanding UFO, survived only by their temporary headmaster. Are they right, or is the truth even stranger? Swain's brutally honest depiction of small-town life and her powerfully forthright graphic style create a bruising, harrowing masterwork. 80-page black & white 7" x 10" softcover

It'll feature the first part of the Sycamore St serial, as well as a nice two page genre strip called "Deep Space."Here are a few preview jpegs of the strips for your perusal. John Pham will be signing the only available copies of SUBLIFE for the next couple of months this Friday & Saturday at Comicon at the Fantagraphics Books Booth (1716) at these times: Friday: 2PM to 3PMSaturday: 3PM to 5PM

Ah, it's a beautiful day in Seattle and currently the entire top floor of our building is occupied solely by myself and Adam Grano while everyone else gets their nerd on in San Diego. I could get used to not going to Comic-Con. (Note to Adam: can we get a ping pong table in here, toot-sweet?) Anyway, we just received advance copies of two new books (these are also debuting at the con) that will hit stores in early September: LOVE & ROCKETS: NEW STORIES #1 and DEITCH'S PICTORAMA. It occured to me that this means we will be releasing two books, on the same day, by two different sets of cartooning/sibling legends. Kind of cool.

The Age of Anxiety has never been better depicted in comics form than in In My Darkest Hour, a modernist, mainstream graphic novel that explores the inner life of its protagonist, Omar Guerrero, a 28 year-old Latin American transient, who confronts his pervasive feelings of inadequacy, anger, guilt, and escalating alienation. The first full-length graphic novel from Pop Life collaborator Wilfred Santiago, in a lovely two-color format. 128-page two-color 7" x 9" softcover

What did boxing look like when you first got into it? (nostalgia thread)
As another poster pointed out today, we are coming to the end of an era now, an era I feel I caught the beginning of, so this is how it looked at the time.Ok for me, I discovered eastsideboxing round the time the contender was on. That got me hooked onto boxing and they used to have an "eastside" and a "westside" team. I typed in eastsideboxing because that was my favourite team team thinking they'd have their own website and well here I am lol.
Here are my favourite divisions and the pound for pounnd list and how I remember it looking.
When I first got into boxing Bernard Hopkins was considered p4p number 1. People thought his time was nearing it's end though and many from America installed the self proclaimed best Floyd Mayweather top about a year later after Hopkins' defeat to Taylor abd Tsyu's loss to Ricky Hatton. Pacquiao had beaten Barrera at the time but lost to Morales, which was made to look worse around this time by morales' shock defeat to Raheem he was cosidered top 10 but not 3rd, if I had to compare people's estmations of him then, it would be similar to people's estimation of Donaire now. Winky Wright was probably considered in the top 6 after beating Mosely twice and Trinidad. I don't remember exactly how people had it (it's hardly ever agreed on) but it was like this.
1. Hopkins
2. Tszyu
3. Mayweather
4. Tarver
5. Wright
6. Pacquiao
7. Barrera
8. Corrales (this was just before his great clash with Castillo)
9. Cotto (thrilling but unproven)
10. Vitali Klitschko
(people's perceptions at the time)
1. Vitali Klitschko was the man. The division was poor in the wake of Lewis and nobody looked like they could beat Vitali at the time (in all fairness he still hasn't been beaten)
2.Chris Bryd was generally seen as the only man who'd give him some problems but most agreed that at this point in time Vitali was number one.
3. Lamont Brewster - stopped Wlad and Kranski, decent operater hard as nails but limited and at the time probably over rated.
4. Sam Peter - People really had big expectations of him, they thought he was going to be the next Tyson and the only man who might take down Vitali.
5. Wlad. This would probably be a high estimation of how people saw him at the time tbh, he was viewed as having a glass chin by most after being stopped by Sanders and Brewster and being dropped (I think) by Williamson. Nobody gave him a chance of returning to the top but that he did in a barnstormer and most entertaining fight of his career vs. Peter.
John Ruiz was a champ as well but regarded as a complete joke. Mike Tyson was still lingering around but he was finished.
1.Skelton - unbeaten ex kick-boxing world champ. hard working slugger, but limited ability, the fighter I supported in the division at the time.
1.Williams - Erratic heavy weight who beat Tyson and ex challenger to Vitali. Him vs. Skelton was always the fight I wanted to see.
3. Harrison - seen as being a future world champion with the ability to be the next Lewis but who was not moving up fast enough Harrison
1. Mormeck WBC, WBA
2. Bell IBF
3. Nelson WBO
Haye/ Macrinelli both unproven at the time
Super Middle
There was no real number one, Ottke had just retired and many had Reid, many had Calzaghe but almost evryone agreed that the ex Olympian amateur stand out Jeff Lacy who had a crazy am record of about 270- 15 would emerge as the leader of the pack. Mudine, Green and Kessler were nearing their peak and Beyer was still hanging around.
This has always been our strongest division, other than the ones already mentioned we had Magee and Froch mainly, Magee looked decent but just like he was hovering outside the top boys (as he still is now) and Froch looked average, decent at the level but like he was without the tools to move up. People didn't see him making the improvments that he went on to given that he was about 30 at the time and was just domestic level.
Light welter
Great division at the time we had
Tyszu IBF/ just vacting WBA
Cotto incredible power but a fragile chin at the time.
Anyway, these were the glamour divisions for me at the time. There was also lightweight with Corrales, Freitas, Castillo, Casamayor etc. in and other great divisions but what did boxing look like for you when you first got into it.

Mighty Battle: Hunter and Mage Tier 9 sets {WoW}
Jul 22nd 2009 9:27AM Personally, I've never thought of pastel blues, pinks, and purples as very "magey." In my mind, the mage's colors have always been deep, rich reds, royal blues, and purples. For my money, the Tirisfal Regalia—Tier 5—looked the most "magey." The helm was a hood, which has always been what the mage helm should look like, in my opinion. Not a catcher's faceguard, not a neck collar, not spikes to impale your enemies upon nor a linebacker's neckguard. It may have been the most understated, but in my mind, it exuded power.
I might have been the only one who loved it, though.

Two years ago, audiences reacted favorably to Steve Carrell's depiction of "The 40 Year Old Virgin," in which a guy who has reached his 40s with his virginity intact. It opened in first place to good reviews, and stayed in the Top 10 at the Box Office for 7 weeks.
The movie's director is now releasing his latest effort, "Knocked Up," with Seth Rogen and Katherine Heigl as a couple whose one-night-stand turns into a pregnancy. She's a high-powered executive, he's a bit of a loser, but they decide to see if they have what it takes to be a couple. If you enjoyed "The 40 Year Old Virgin," this movie should be right up your alley.
If you'd rather have something a little darker to enjoy this weekend, Kevin Costner may have just what you're looking for in "Mr. Brooks." Costner plays a loving family man and respected business icon who just happens to have an alter-ego which is addicted to killing (played by William Hurt). Demi Moore plays a detective on his trail.
We're also starting to get showtimes for "Ocean's Thirteen" which opens next Friday and also for "Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer" which opens on June 15th.

Makes 8 servings
- Juice of 30 Seville (sour) oranges, or juice of 20 limes and 8 regular oranges (7 to 8 cups)
- Cloves from 6 heads of garlic, minced
- 1 cup minced fresh oregano leaves
- 5 tablespoons salt
- 1 whole suckling pig (about 12 pounds), split
- Lime, Garlic, and Oregano Mojo
Combine the juice, garlic, oregano, and salt in a mixing bowl. Transfer to a large, deep roasting pan and place the pig, belly down, into the pan. Thoroughly coat the pig with the marinade, massaging it in. Let sit in the marinade overnight. Baste the pig occasionally.
Preheat the oven to 275°F.
Remove the pig from the marinade and place it on a large baking sheet. Cover the pigs ears, snout, and tail with aluminum foil. Place the baking sheet in the oven and cook for 4 to 4 1/2 hours (20 minutes per pound).
Remove the foil when you take the pig out of the oven. Let it rest for 15 to 20 minutes before carving. Serve with the mojo, and some black beans and rice .
