REVELATION OF JOHN, or Letter to A Dead GirlWhere were you when I laid the foundation of the earth? When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy? JOB 38:4.7Dear Eleanor - where have you gone? January encroaches amidst the darkness of winter, a lover returning in vain stealth from a half-remembered midnight affair. The lights in the sky are waving goodbye, Leni, and this is it. The hour of arrival.Death is insidious, Elena. It creeps up on you from within like a virus long since dormant but suddenly activated by some inexplicable sense of desperation, a final attempt at reaching out towards life, survival, proliferation. Everybody wants to be alive, Leni. Even viruses. But under the unavoidable equilibrium of the universe, for us to live, others must die. We try and ignore it, but it's allways there. People are allways dying for us whether or not they like it, and we just survive long enough till it's our turn to die.Time to die, Leni.Jagged metal tore across the frozen concrete,

As soon as your parents touch the tip of the pen to that manilla document, that "sign below the dotted line;" as soon as that manilla slip of paper is filed away into the rusting cabinets in the government archives, you belong to someone else. You belong to your parents. You belong to your government. You belong to your caste and you belong to your friends and you belong to your nation. You belong to a world that does not care about you, and for the rest of your documented life, you will be subjugated.By signing that sheet of paper you have been sold into a lifetime of slavery. You will be forced to work for people you do not care about and for the rest of your life you will be fo

DRAGON, or the House of LeavesLife is a house of cards moments before the wind, seemingly complex until the wind comes and scatters 52 meaningless pages into oblivion. then there's nothing but 52 meaningless slips of paper scattered into oblivion. So many empty words, facts, pictures, that once maybe possessed inherent context, perhaps even lifesaving or devastating to some, little typewriter imprints on long and winding spiralling staircases of paper trailing around my room into infinity, gathered up in my hands, unravelling around me. And I'm St. George against the fabled dragon while it chases its unwinding paper chase tail of note cards and postal stamps and railway tickets and leatherbound itineraries across the walls, born out of creeping yellow boxes stacked up ad infinitum all around the wilting landscape archived millenia before my existence, storing countless records of lives that dare not be trespassed upon, lives that shouldn't have been uncovered again but laid bare once more by my hands, releasing a m

SPACE, or the Isolation ChamberThe astronaut floated around the surface of the space station, catching on lightly to the metal panel of a beam. In one of the solar panels, he could see the sun where it had just crept beyond the pale blue dot that was earth, its light dimming calmly and without much protest. He didn't know how long it had been since he had lost contact with the men down on earth. It could've been days, months, centuries, for all he cared.He had been sent to examine if the station was safe for use any longer after a large fragment of rock had crashed into the southern end of the station, damaging it. He had been told that he would stay until all necessary repairs were performed, and the station, which had been abandoned for nearly thirty years then, was deemed safe. It was a single flight, one-man trip to the station. The men down on earth told him that they would send for him when he was done.The last repair had been made over two years ago, according to his computer log.The astronaut guided himse

On a sunlit Wednesday afternoon in early December, Myron Mixon sits at a wooden picnic table on the back patio of the new Wynwood barbecue joint Pride and Joy. His long white hair is pushed away from his fleshy face. His thick beard is speckled with dark whiskers. His black short-sleeved shirt fits snugly around his proud, round belly, hinting at a love of whole hogs and brisket sandwiches dipped in au jus. In the distance, the sweet smell of burning wild cherrywood wafts across the restaurant's 220-seat indoor dining room. "These girls are looking skinny!" he says in a lilting Georgia accent to a passing waiter while referring to my colleague and me. "Get me an order of the baby-back mac 'n' cheese." Judging by the amount of food he's ordered, it appears he's intent on wheelbarrowing us out of the place, which has been open only about a month. Read the full review.

Multi-Color Jumbo Stacking Mugs Set of 6
Loving these mugs
Love the mugs. Great for our card parties and so many uses. Do wish they were made in sets also of 6 same colors. Love to have a set also in blue. : )
June 23, 2012
And you can bake in them too!
Not only are they perfect for soup, hot drinks, cereal, and ice cream, but they also are great for making GIANT cupcakes. Spray generously with Baker's Joy then Fill with cake batter just to the bottom band (about 1" below top) You have to check the baking times, but it's about double the cupcake time. Great for party cakes! My set is several years old, and I do wish they would bring back the rich Harvest colors. Not a fan of the bold look.
November 27, 2011
Wonderful mugs
These mugs are wonderful. We use
them for soup, casserole food, etc. I love the finger hold, it makes it easierto get in and out ofthe microwave i have had had them for about 3 years. They look great sitting on my counter. I have a lot of cabinet space, but for people with limited space they would be perfect.
November 26, 2011
Everyone Loves this gift
I've given several of these for gifts and everyone has thanked me so much. They love these mugs. I was hooked immediately. I even cook different recipes so I can use them. I also uses them for Ice Cream Sundae, cereal and I also fill each one with different snacks when playing cards with our friends, They look so pretty. It is fun setting a table with them. I think I should get a second set so its they should break l will have extras.
November 26, 2011
perfect gift
I got this for my son-in-law for Christmas last year, he loves it. My daughter ask me to get him another set, as they use these for cereal, ice cream,hot chocolate,and coffee. They are always either in use, in the dishwasher,or in the sink.
November 26, 2011
Not only are these jumbo mugs perfect for cereal, soup, or ice cream, they also look great sitting out on the counter by adding a bright "pop" of color. Buy these mugs for yourself, a friend, or as a gift and you won't be disappointed!
April 26, 2011
Love them for tea, soup, cereal
These are excellent. I have a tiny kitchen and these helped maximize space because they take up little room and do double duty as soup or cereal bowls. I love the flash of color they add. They are sturdy as well - I've handled them roughly but they look brand new. I highly recommend them.
April 6, 2011
Stacking Mugs Big Hit with All
We use the mugs for soup and coffee (when you don't want to get up to get that second cup)

@momothree: Each of the ingredients does serve their own purpose. Eggs are great skin care products for people with larger pores. Eggs are also great for firming the skin and tightening wrinkles. The whites in the egg help to remove oily residue.
The flour is actually just used to thicken the consistency of the mixture. Olive oil is great for moisturizing your skin.
The sea salt helps to stimulate your blood circulation and assist with cell regeneration. Sea salt also work as an exfoliator.
The lactic acid in the milk softens and soothes itchy, dry skin. It also moisturizes the skin while refining pores and tightening wrinkles.

"The only people trying to sleep with teenagers are lower class/ghetto/have that kind of culture."
Now, back to the race and class part of this one. One or two comments I read were in this vein – that this kind of behavior was not okay, but understandable because these people were either low class, ghetto, or their culture permits it. I am projecting that these labels fit different groups of people – "low class" stands in for poor white; "ghetto" stands in for poor black; and discussions of culture normally stands in for Latino men.
Here are a few more stories and some back up information for the first ones I have you.
While I was in high school, I had two asian friends I was fairly close with. We would often end up hanging out after school at the mall with all the other teenagers our age. Occasionally, we would take the bus to the really nice mall in the upper class neighborhood, so we could be broke in style. It was there – in the affluent neighborhood – that my asian friends dealt with the worst of their harassment. I can remember that each friend, on different occassions, was approached by older white men in their thirities and forties and quizzed about their ethnic backgrounds, ages, and dating status. These men always seemed to slip cards into their hands, asking them to call them later. My friends smiled demurely, always waiting until the man had gone before throwing their number away.
The friend I mentioned who had the child at age eleven? She was white. The friend who met the twenty five year old at the park? She was black. A boyfriend I had around age fifteen was Dominican. We would often supervise his sisters (aged 10 and 11) at the playground and I recall two occasions where we had to chase older Latino men or older black men away from them.
Some of these men had money and the accompanying markers of class. Some of these men did not. While I did not have any real experiences with Asian men or Arabic men I am sure that some of my friends had those kind of situations go down as well. However, people try to use the "low class" defense to wash their hands of the situation, as if there is nothing they can do. It is as if they are saying "these people are savages – its to be expected."
Which, obviously, is not the case. Men of all races on all ends of the economic spectrum have the potential to harass and sleep with teenagers. And a small number of men do. Continue reading

Well this morning I finally put my noggin to use for something other than worrying about the Dodgers and realized that a perfect follow up to my discovery of www.pulpartists.com is to interview its host, David Saunders.
As I mentioned in my previous post, David is the son of Norman Saunders, one of the most famous of pulp artists. Besides his pulp work, Norman Saunders was the artist who created Mars Attacks, Wacky Packs, Batman Cards, Pre-Code Comics, Men's Adventure Magazines, Paperbacks, and countless icons of Pin-Ups, Monsters, Robots, Mayhem, Nazis, Aleins and Space Ships.
And while I knew that David had just put out his beautiful book on his father, I didn't know that David was also the author of several other biographies of pulp artists.
So keep an eye for this interview, which promises to be a great one. I hope to have it up within the next few weeks.

State police investigate ex-library employee
Police are investigating possible wrongdoing by a former state library official who abruptly resigned in December after he was chosen to become the next Oregon state librarian.
Amid official silence about what triggered the criminal investigation, emails obtained by the Statesman Journal through Oregon's public records law reveal that Robert Hulshof-Schmidt was placed on administrative leave in November after questions surfaced about his academic credentials.

Untitled. THE FACES OF FACEBOOK. Pożar w Jankowie Przygodzkim. IMMATERIALS. Pitch Interactive: The Holy Bible and the Holy Quran: A Comparison of Words. In order to understand a religion, we can refer to its holy book, which establishes guidelines and principles for followers to adhere to.
At the same time, followers, both radical and mild, interpret the holy text to provide a deeper and often more complex meaning of a particular verse, often to help explain issues that directly affect their personal beliefs. Unfortunately, people of one faith try to use the holy text of another faith to ridicule that faith or show its abominations by pointing to a particular text, often entirely out of context or misquoted. One such example is the Quran burning controversy stirred by Terry Jones in Florida. Shoes, Domestic Production, 1960-1998. Howold.periscopic. 512 Paths to the White House - Interactive Feature.

This is a series of videos that visualizes a single piece of content being shared between hundreds of thousands of individuals on Facebook.
We've tried to capture the frenetic energy surrounding three of the most shared images, all of which were photos published on George Takei's Page. Each visualization is made up of a series of branches starting from a single person. As the branch grows, re-shares split off on their own arcs, sometimes spawning a new generation of re-shares, sometimes exploding in a short-lived burst of activity. The two different colors show gender, and each successive generation becomes more and more white as time goes by. Interactive: Mapping the World's Friendships.

The latest design controversy in downtown Sonoma isn't about hotels or tasting rooms, but rather the shade of one Plaza shop door. With the change from a Ben & Jerry's franchise to their own Grandma Linda's Ice Cream shop on First Street West, owners Troy and Dawn Marmaduke painted the front door pink as part of the re-branding.
Though the color (officially, cerise delight, though it looks more like black cherry) was approved by the city's Design Review Commission, an appeal has been filed by a contingent of critics who say the shade is inappropriate for the neighborhood. The City Council will hear the appeal on March 3.

How to Choose RLM Lighting for Your Home
What is it?
RLM stands for Reflector Luminaire Manufacturer. These retro style light fixtures originated as industrial lighting, and are still commonly used in commercial applications, although they have found their way into residential lighting as well. RLM fixtures are ideal for restaurants, shopping centers, hotels, and multi-family residential exteriors. Appropriate for indoor or outdoor use, they are commonly used to light walkways and illuminate signs, and can be found on building facades, providing illumination above or below awnings, or functioning as wall washers.
Custom Configuration
RLM light fixtures are designed primarily as reflectors that direct light downward without the addition of a diffuser. A typical RLM shade includes a lampholder channel and a reflective underside. Styles range from classic to contemporary, from functional to decorative. The most basic warehouse-style shade lives up to its name in its basic appearance, while other designs take retro style to the extreme and are appropriate for an upscale shopping center or a casual bistro. Shades are usually constructed of spun or cast aluminum or cold-rolled steel, though some may feature brass or copper construction. Shade diameters can vary from barely 7" to 27" or more.
Mounting hardware for RLM fixtures is selected independently of the shade and can be chosen from a range of options as extensive as the variety of shades.
- Wall Mounting — from basic pipes to goosenecks to decorative brackets
- Bracket Mounting
- Cord or Stem-Hung Pendant Mounting
Other options can be selected as well to customize each RLM fixture.

- A variety of glass options and metal guards are available, including vapor tight glass.
- There are dozens of weather-resistant powder coated, plated or galvanized finishes to choose from, in colors from subtle to shocking.
- Light source choices include standard incandescent, HID — metal halide or high pressure sodium — and fluorescent for certain RLM fixtures.
- Some fixtures feature photocell options and are Title 24 compliant.
- Many RLM fixtures are also Dark Sky compliant.
- Voltage options are available for commercial and residential applications.
Choose Function, Choose Style
While true RLM fixtures are designed primarily for commercial use, the RLM look can be found in many residential fixtures that feature retro styling. Pre-configured pendants and wall sconces are readily available that give the look of RLM with the convenience of a complete fixture. So whether your purpose is lighting a warehouse or lighting up your dining room, RLM lighting may be just the thing for you.

Diabetes & Eating Disorders
Eating Disorders and Diabetes: A Dangerous Connection
Because both disorders involve the control of food, Diabetes and eating disorders like Anorexia, Bulimia or Compulsive Overeating can run hand-in-hand. Diabetes is a disorder resulting from the pancreas not producing enough Insulin or the body not being able to effectively use the Insulin produced. The prevalence of eating disorders among Insulin dependent diabetics is estimated to be two to six times higher than in the general population. Up to 25% of females with Insulin dependent diabetes may have a diagnosable eating disorder. Although having diabetes has not been shown to cause eating disorders, the condition may increase the risk of developing them.
The connection between eating disorders such as Anorexia, Bulimia or Compulsive Overeating and Diabetes may be a result of both disorders sharing some common traits and paths. To begin with, for many diabetics, the onset of diabetes is accompanied by an initial weight loss, which is often how the disorder is first recognized. This initial weight loss can be perceived as rewarding and become something the diabetic does not want to give up. Following diagnosis, the individual is started on Insulin treatment, which often causes weight gain for the diabetic. This resulting weight gain may exacerbate any concerns of body image and cause anxiety for the newly diagnosed diabetic.
Dietary Restraints
Also complicating the situation are the dietary constraints imposed on diabetics. Both eating disorders and diabetes encourage individuals to pay accentuated attention to what they eat and weigh. Foods for individuals with an eating disorder and diabetes are no longer viewed as just for nutrition, but often gain the monikers of "forbidden" or "dangerous." The obsessive pursuit of gaining control of food can become central for both diabetics and eating disordered individuals. This struggle to maintain control can become the introduction to developing an eating disorder for a diabetic. The issue of control is of special importance for adolescent diabetics. Like all teenagers, adolescent diabetics strive for independence but besides the regular teen issues, adolescent diabetics must also grapple with someone, or something else posing, control over their food intake. Through the practice of an eating disorder, eating disordered diabetics may feel they have regained some of the lost control.
Diabetes and Eating Disorders: Behavior
When diabetics suffer from eating disorders like bulimia or anorexia, they frequently engage in dangerous behaviors like restricting food, dieting and binge eating. But one of the most dangerous practices can be abusing insulin. To avoid weight gain, some diabetics with eating disorders under use their insulin, causing their blood sugar to rise and spill into their urine. The accompanied weight loss is the result of the body's tissues being literally dissolved. Diabetics with eating disorders often suffer from complications like kidney failure, blood circulation difficulties, heart disease and eyesight problems as a result of insulin abuse. When diabetics have a eating disorder they have a threefold risk of damaging the retina of their eye permanentaly (retinopathy). Diagnosing an eating disorder in a diabetic can be extremely difficult, even for professionals. The dietary concerns of diabetes can easily mask the eating disordered behavior. It is often hard to tell if the behaviors are symptoms of an eating disorder like anorexia, compulsive overeating or bulimia or just careful dietary management of the diabetes. When confronted, eating disordered diabetics often claim that they are just practicing good dietary control. One tell-tale sign of trouble is poorly controlled blood sugars for unexplained reasons.
Warning Signs for Insulin Abuse
- Low energy
- High blood sugar
- Weight loss despite increased eating
- Frequent urination
Get Help Today
Rader Programs understands the nuances and difficulties that arise when diabetes is complicated with an eating disorder and has put together a program that can address an eating disordered diabetic's specific needs. In the past, the course of treatment for a diabetic was one of a prescribed restrictive diet and a rigid approach to regulation and maagement.
Rader Programs understands this approach can be counterproductive and even lead a diabetic towards bingeing and misusing insulin. Instead, we work with the eating disordered, diabetic individual helping them towards normalizing their eating and tailoring their Insulin to their food plan. It is not uncommon for a diabetic individual to lower the amount of Insulin or move from injections to oral medication, once they are in recovery from their eating disorder.

Love Food to Stop Emotional Eating
By Geneen Roth
Special Offers
A student of mine named Sunny tells this story: "Once a month I take myself out for a steak-and-mashed-potatoes dinner. I love steak love, love, love it. But I don't think I am supposed to eat it. This doesn't stop me, of course, but it does stop me from enjoying it. So I eat my dinner in a hurry as if someone I know is going to walk in the door, and I have to be quick before I am discovered. Then I pay for my meal, hurry home, and spend the rest of the night feeling ashamed of what I ate."
I ask Sunny what she thinks would happen if she allowed herself to eat with gusto. To taste every bite. To pay attention to what she finds pleasurable about it. I tell her the story about Ed and the Zen master. I ask her what she thinks her life would be like if she ate her once-a-month steak the way Ed was to smoke his cigarettes.
She laughs hard, and her eyes light up. "Eating is always a guilty pleasure," she says. "I feel as if I'm not supposed to enjoy food because I need to lose 10 pounds, and people who are supposed to lose 10 pounds should be ashamed of themselves. They should eat dry chicken without skin and salad without dressing not steak and mashed potatoes."
Now we've gotten to the core belief: Emotional eaters and/or those of us who feel as if we are overweight are not supposed to enjoy food. We are supposed to skulk around, eating food that tastes like leather. Better yet, we should be eating astronaut food: freeze-dried pellets of desiccated vegetables.
Forget it.
After 30 years of working with emotional eaters, I can confidently say that I've never met anyone who has ever lost weight and kept it off by deprivation. We are sensory, pleasure-loving beings. It is not just calories that fill us up, but the joy we take from eating them.
We don't overeat because we take too much pleasure from food, but because we don't take enough. When pleasure ends, overeating begins.
Imagine what your life would be like if you let yourself eat with passion. If you felt entitled, no matter what you weighed, to eat with gusto. You may discover that foods you loved as well as those you didn't truly do give you pleasure, and there's no price tag attached. And that's how it should be. Why not be astonished by the crisp taste of an apple? Why not revel in the smooth texture of an olive? Since you need to eat to live, why let one moment of joy even one pass you by?

4 VERY ENJOYABLECharlie2810 | 03/12/2008 | See all Charlie2810's reviews (129)Top 100 Reviewer Top 100 DVD Reviewer This was definately one of my favourite films of 2008, I went to see it at the cinema;which really is the best way to see this type of film. If you like your films fast paced then it doesnt get much faster than this. I love the style that director Timur Bekmambetov used in the film, without this I think it would have been another average action movie. Angelina Jolie and James McAvoy are both great and make very believable assasins. Even if you don't believe this to be true for James McAvoy, trust me after the film you will!I cannot believe some of the reviews I have been reading for this film. I know it has a lot of action in it and the plot is a bit thin. But what do you expect sitting down to watch a film like this?? It was never trying to be a brilliantly acted, perfectly crafted film. Its a bit of fun and if thats what you after than look no further.
5 Awesome Film - Just some silly things.ThePieminister | 04/02/2009 | See all ThePieminister's reviews (1)Reading all the lower 1/2 star reviews it seems that they reason they don't like it is because of how 'unrealistic' it is. And yes, they're right...the loom of fate? Curving bullets? It's all made up...But hold on a minute? If the matrix got good reviews...surely that must mean that it must be real and we're all living in the matrix?!?!A film doesn't have to be realistic to be good, and this film is a great example of escapism where you can kick back on the sofa and watch some mindless violence and amazing stunts. It's one of my favourite films for sure.
5 Just what I Wanted!barnie884 | 02/02/2009 | See all barnie884's reviews (265)Top 10 Reviewer Top 100 DVD Reviewer Top 100 Games Reviewer Top 100 Music Reviewer Number 1 Books Reviewer Top 100 Electronics Reviewer Top 100 Clothing Reviewer First thing i have to say is please ignore all the 1 and 2 star reviews. Just as in a few movies i have reviewed recently, i think these people just do not get it. The first thing to say that this is an adaptation of one of the most popular graphic novels ever. If you take this into account (and therefore don't take the movie too seriously) then you should be in for a rip-roaring 2 hours of over-the-top matrix style action. The story itself differs from the original graphic novel, however it really works for me. It's the story of a guy stuck in a dead end relationship, terrible job and life whose life is changed in the blink of an eye. With a good plot, good soundtrack, loads of action, good performances and a good twist at the end i highly recommend this movie.
1 Wanted - my money back!TylerDurden | 23/12/2009 | See all TylerDurden's reviews (22)Absolutely dreadful piece of cynical "film making". The only purpose it serves is for oiling up people with no attentions spans and lads with difficulties getting close to real life 'flesh women'. It's very stylishly made, but McAvoy is weak and Jolie just reheats her performances from the Tomb Raider flicks. Me and the missus (not inflatable or pixelated, at least I think she's real..) were so appalled we turned it off after about 40mins. Even the obligatory NIN song on the soundtrack is a non-starter... The most overated comic book adaption since 30 Days of Night!
1 Wanted Yeah My Money BackMorrisseyfan | 06/11/2008 | See all Morrisseyfan's reviews (120)I absolutly love the cast other than angelina jolie hate that woman. But i absolutly hate this film it is beyond pathetic. The storyline is rubbish, dull, pathetic, plain, ott, boring gave me heartburn which wasn't nice. I really struggled with this film i just sat there laughing at how bad this film is. It's completly flawed, very badly made and created. People are gving it outstanding reviews cause of the bending of the bullet and being to control where it goes i mean that is pathetic what a deluded mind and idea it's terrible. And morgan freeman what the hell happaned to you he gave a frankly appaling display which nearly gave me a heart attack he is one of the 1st class actors for example shawshank redemption which is my all time favourite film he was amazing in that and many more. Please don't bother watching this garbage.So in a nutshell.Bad acting, terrible story line, equally bad dilouge!I saw this in the cinema and can tell you that it was the biggest waste of a couple of hours i have ever spent!!! It doesn't matter how good actions scenes can get - the rest of this film was just absoloutely terrible, there was no redeeming feature in my opinion. How it keeps getting good reviews is totally beyond me.Loom of fate??? Need i say more?!! 0/10

Recently I got two suits from crown tailors and decided to write up and tell everyone about it. I was in Bangkok last month and I was told about crown tailors from a friend. I decided to give it a go. It was rather a nice experience. Their attitude was professional and to the point. And their service is great as they make and deliver your suits in the promised time on the promised location which I really appreciated. If they continue to give such services they are remain in my list. Recommended!

What Happens When I've Read All 101 Books?
I get asked this question a lot, either by a commenter on the blog or someone I know: What am I going to do AFTER I finish the 101 Books?
Great question.
And it's one I don't quite know the answer to…yet.
I have a few ideas rolling around in my brain, with either new lists, self-created lists, and no list at all. Whatever the case, I'm pretty certain this blog will still exist and, hopefully, I won't have run out of ideas by then.
As I mentioned in my preview post for 2014, I hope to have more definite plans on a book later this year. Whether that is through a traditional publisher or not has yet to be determined.
How that pans out could possibly determine the direction of the blog, but I don't really know for sure. The only thing I do know for sure is that I enjoy writing about books, and, at the moment, I plan to keep on writing about books.
So when might I finish the 101 Books project?

• CUTLINE: Darren Hutchinson helps offload the first catch of the season from onboard O'Fishal Business Wednesday evening at Howard's Cove. ERIC McCARTHY PHOTO
CAPE WOLFE, PEI — Lobster fishermen arriving back in port at Howard's Cove Wednesday afternoon, Aug. 10, were generally satisfied with their first official catch of the 2011 fall season, even though they suggested landings were a little off of last year's opening numbers.
Barry Cooke suggested the wind on setting day might explain why a lot of boats seemed to be picking up inside gear and moving it to deeper water less than 24 hours after traps were set. He is keeping his fingers crossed inside fishing will improve as the weather settles down.
To protect the quality of their catch, many boats delivered the catch from the first half of the gear they fished to buying stations and then returned to fish the remaining traps.
Weather conditions on Wednesday were vastly improved from what crews encountered on setting day, Tuesday, Aug. 9. The season lasts 10 weeks. The P.E.I. Fishermen's Association is also sailing into the fall lobster season on an optimistic note.
The association issued a press release on setting day, suggesting the fall season should see a continuation of the price increases that occurred during the spring season.
Prices, the PEIFA pointed out, were in the $4.75 per pound range for canners and around $5 a pound for markets when the spring season ended.
While provincial statistics point to a 13 to 14 per cent drop in landings during the spring season, the PEIFA is suggesting landings were down significantly more than that in most spring harbours.
Colder than normal water temperature, fishing days missed to storms, a one millimeter carapace increase and possible impact from severe weather last winter were seen as contributing factors to the drop in landings during the spring season. There are about 577 boats from New Brunswick, 227 from P.E.I. and 18 from Nova Scotia participating in the fall lobster fishery in Lobster Fishing Area 25.
There are 78 fewer boats from New Brunswick in the fishery this year because of the Maritime Fishermen's Union's participation in a licence buy-back program prior to the fall season.
The Prince County Fishermen's Association negotiated the retirement of 34 P.E.I. fall gears between 2009 and 2010.

Lose That Sinking Feeling at Titanic Brewery Happy Hour
Two-time "Best of Miami" winner for microbrewed beer. |
5813 Ponce de Leon Blvd., Coral Gables
Hours: Daily 4 to 8 p.m.
Deals: Discounts on all house brews.
Scene: Located less than a block from the University of Miami campus, Titanic Brewery and Restaurant would seem like a student stronghold with the accompanying mayhem and debauchery. Right? Actually, not really. Management says only about 30 percent of Titanic's patrons come from the U. That's likely a result of the quality quaffs brewed on premises in copper-colored vats behind the bar. After all, your average PBR-loving underclassmen haven't developed the beer palate to appreciate what goes on aboard the Titanic.
Behind the window is where magic happens. |
Conclusion: Despite its location and name, Titanic Restaurant & Brewery is not a crazed UM student hangout with normal folk abandoning ship. It boasts a relaxed vibe and has become one of the few spots in the county where beer connoisseurs can enjoy locally made brews.

Windows 8 and Microsoft Surface tablets to hit stores by the end of October
Posted By Godwin On July 11, 2012 @ 1:32 AM In Windows | 3 Comments
[1]Microsoft has revealed that it will be releasing the much awaited and anticipated Windows 8 [2] operating system, along with the first Surface tablet(s) [3] that Microsoft manufactures, by the end of October 2012. It isn't immediately clear if October will see a global release of the products or if they will be released in select markets only.
As I'm sure most people know by now, Windows 8 comes with the most major user interface revamp that Windows has come up within the last two decades. The metro style interface of Windows 8 concentrates on touch-screen computers, bringing about some quite drastic changes which some users have found to be hard to get along with on traditional computers while others welcome the change.
Though Microsoft announced that Windows 8 and Surface tablets will be available to the public by October, it hasn't yet announced the prices of Windows 8 or Surface tablets. However, we did get a hint from some sources that Windows RT tablets will be priced just like the iPad (US$499) and Windows 8 Pro tablets will be priced around that of ultrabooks (around US$1000), and we already know Windows 8 upgrades will be provided for $40 for Windows XP, Vista, and Windows 7 users [4] until January 2013. In addition to that, Microsoft has revealed that users who buy Windows 7 notebooks between now and Windows 8 release will be provided an option upgrade to Windows 8 for $15.
Excited? Disappointed? Express your feelings in the comments [5] below!

The number one industry in Central Illinois is agriculture. In fact, the state's nearly 75,000 farms pour more than $6.4 billion into the Illinois economy, making it one of the largest industries in the state. As such, we cannot improve Illinois by leaving agriculture behind.
I have long been a proponent of completely repealing the Death Tax. This is why, during both the 111th and 112th Congresses I was a co-sponsor of , the Death Tax Repeal Permanency Act. This legislation would have completely done away with Death Tax. Not only does this tax provide for double taxation of already owned assets, but it brings less than 1% into the U.S. Treasury. Families often pay more in trying to avoid the Death Tax, than what the government actually collects. I am happy to report that Free Trade Agreements with Panama, South Korea, and Colombia were finally signed into law so that Illinois farmers can compete in the global arena. As a member of the House Ways and Means Subcommittee on Trade, I led several hearings on the importance of these three trade agreements. Peoria, Illinois is the 20th largest export market in the United States, and has seen a recent strong growth in exports. Over the last five years, Colombia has been the largest market for U.S. agriculture exports in South America, and the third largest market in the Western Hemisphere behind only Canada and Mexico, with U.S. exports totaling $4.3 billion. In 2009, U.S. agriculture exports to Colombia declined by 48%. It was the failure of the United States to implement the U.S.-Colombia Free Trade Agreement that was primary cause of the sharp decline in agriculture exports as Colombia enacted agreements with their South American neighbors as well as Canada and the European Union. According to the American Farm Bureau Federation, the full implementation of a U.S.-Colombia Free Trade Agreement will result in a $700 billion increase in U.S. agriculture exports. The Farm Bureau estimates that corn and soybeans, both of which grow abundantly in the State of Illinois, will see some of the largest increases in exports. We must continue to allow the American economy to grow, including in emerging markets in Asia and Europe.
A U.S.-Panama Free Trade Agreement will allow more than half of current U.S. farm exports to Panama to become duty-free immediately, which would give U.S. farmers an advantage over competitors in the E.U. and Canada. The American Farm Bureau estimates that the increase in farm exports to Panama will exceed $195 million per year, nearly doubling U.S. exports. A U.S-Korea Free Trade Agreement will also allow for great agriculture export growth as well, with vegetable exports expected to increase between 53%-87%, processed food product exports expected to increase between 37%-42%, and vegetable oils expected to in increase between 20%-33%. The bottom line is that all indicators show that these Free Trade Agreements mean good news for Illinois farmers.
Additionally, ensuring that the Illinois and Mississippi Rivers have an updated lock and dam system is vital to making sure Illinois farmers can get their product to the global marketplace. Since I have arrived in Congress, I have made clear that this is a priority, and I will continue to fight for ensuring that our locks and dams are safe and fully functional. In the 112th Congress, I spearheaded a bi-partisan letter to the US Army Corps of Engineers regarding the importance of the Navigation and Ecosystem Sustainability Program (NESP). This program works to improve locks and dams along the Illinois and Mississippi Rivers. Last Congress I also spearheaded a bi-partisan letter to the Army Corps regarding transportation on the Mississippi River. Because of the severe drought in 2012, low water levels threatened commerce along the Mississippi. This would have a detrimental impact on Illinois agriculture because farmers would lose a vital way to ship their commodities. My letter, which was co-signed by over 60 of my House colleagues, asked the Corps to continue with water releases that come from the Missouri River and flow into the Mississippi. Additionally, it asked the Corps to expedite rock pinnacle removal to ensure barge traffic could continue. I am pleased that the Corps agreed to speed up the rock pinnacle removal, and also release water into the Mississippi from other lakes in the area. This will be an ongoing issue that I will continue to monitor in 2013. During last Congress, I was a strong advocate for a long-term and fully paid for transportation bill. As we work on a new bill in the 113th Congress, I will continue to push for long-term and fully paid for solution. Our transportation infrastructure is in dire need of improvement. Deficiencies in our transportation network increase transportation costs, which in turn drive up the cost of farmer's products, and them less attractive on the world market. I led conversations with the House Speaker and Transportation Committee Chairman, and urged them to link new oil and gas leasing revenue with funding for a long-term Highway Bill. This would not only be good for America's energy security, but it would mean that we can fund important transportation projects without adding to our national debt. Additionally, I authored a letter to President Obama, co-signed by 110 other Members of Congress, and asked for his support of a long-term Highway Bill. I am pleased that in the last Congress we passed a bill that included important reforms like consolidating 2/3 of federal highway programs. Additionally, the bill reduces project approval time. The bill also cuts project approval time in half. These reforms will cut down on costly overhead and streamline processes so that actual construction projects can occur more quickly. Last Congress I introduced the Agricultural Machinery Illumination Safety Act, which would require federal standards for lighting and marking requirements for agricultural machinery. This will help ensure are farmers are safe when transporting their product from the fields. I am happy to report that this was included as part of the 2012 Highway Bill that was signed into law by the President. I am supporter of the Renewable Fuels Standard II (RFS), which will help grow our domestic supply of fuels such as ethanol and biodiesel. The more American grown energy that we can produce, the better. This is not only good for Illinois farmers, but it is good for consumers, the environment, and our nation's energy security. This means renewable fuels will be required to be blended into 36 billion gallons of transportation fuel by 2022. During last Congress, I introduced bi-partisan biodiesel legislation, HR 2238, which would extend the current biodiesel tax credit for 3 years. I am pleased to report that portions of this legislation were signed into law as part of the "Fiscal Cliff" package. Biodiesel is a by-product of soybean oil that can easily be turned into a sustainable domestic energy source. As the economy continues to struggle, the extension of this important provision is seen as a positive development to assist the agriculture community. In 2004, when the incentive was initially enacted, the U.S. produced 25 million gallons. In 2009, that number rose to 545 million gallons. In 2009, the U.S. biodiesel industry supported 23,000 jobs in all sectors of the economy. This added $4.1 billion to the nation's Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and generated $828 million in tax revenue for federal, state and local governments, according to National Biodiesel Board. Roughly 11 billion gallons of biofuels were produced and sold in the United States in 2009, according to the CBO. It is also important that our country not only produces more American energy, but we must also have the infrastructure in place to distribute it. I am an advocate for finding ways to put more ethanol flex/blender in pumps in place at gas stations so that consumers have a real choice when they pull up at the pump. My work on biofuels has not gone unnoticed. I was proud to be recognized with the 2011 and 2012 Fueling Growth Award , the highest honor presented to Members who support ethanol. I was also presented with the 2012 Illinois Soybean Association's Award of Excellence for Advocacy/Market Access, and was selected as 1 of the 10 Most Important Advocates for Renewable Energy in Washington by BioFuels Digest. During the 112th Congress, I was a strong advocate for a long-term Farm Bill I wrote House leadership and urged them to bring forward a bill before Congress adjourned. Additionally, I brought the Chairman of the Agriculture Committee, Frank Lucas, to my district so that he could the concerns of the agricultural community in Central Illinois. I was disappointed that a long-term bill was not completed, and I will continue to push the Farm Bill to the top of Congress' agenda before the current extension expires at the end of September 2013. We must ensure we are providing a viable safety net to see farmers through the rough times. This safety net must recognize the risks and rewards unique to agriculture and preserves a farmer's ability to respond to changes in commodity markets. We must also work to grow current agricultural markets and work to gain access to new markets. To accomplish this goal, I support university-based and USDA-based agricultural research. Everyday researchers are making discoveries that bring new uses for our agricultural commodities, improve farmer's bottom lines and decrease the costs of the products we buy. |

Daryl Dixon goes solo
The Walking Dead returns this Sunday, and Entertainment Weekly dedicated this week's cover feature to the show.

All that matters on The Walking Dead is survival
Jun Sato/ Getty Images
Season five of The Walking Dead returns in a month and AMC has released a teaser for the final half of the season. I don't think it's actual episode footage, but the emphasis is on survival as Rick says that "all that matters is surviving—together." So it would seem that Rick has given up on his dreams of finding a safe, permanent settlement. Full Story
Norman Reedus is into pajama onesies
247PapsTV / Splash News
I feel like this is the only part of his Reddit AMA Lainey will care about. Reedus participated in an "Ask Me Anything" session on Reddit over the weekend in order to promote his involvement with The Felix Organization (a group that benefits foster children). Full Story
Two weeks 'til Dead
Vasquez/FAMEFLYNET PICTURES
October 12th is the premiere of The Walking Dead, season 5. Are you ready? I had to replace my DVR box over the summer and to be honest, when faced with programming the new one, I wavered on The Walking Dead. It's half a hate-watch already, and I'm always one Rick crying jag away from being disgusted with it. Full Story
Norman Reedus walks down the street with a girl holding flowers
I try to get as much Norman Reedus on the site as I can, because I know that for some of you, he's on your Five List. And I get it. I totally, totally get it. I imagine it would be transformative. Look at that expression on her face. She seems like she's been transformed, non? That's practically a Cialis commercial for women. Full Story
Norman Reedus and a puppy
I can't get through an episode of The Walking Dead. Because I can't do guts. Sorry. It's a deficiency. The zombie visuals are too gross. I wish I could be more hardcore, I do. What I do end up doing is stopping now and again for the scenes involving Norman Reedus, way more the flavour than Officer Rick. Full Story

The third season of The Walking Dead starts on Sunday night —I will be recapping episodes on Mondays again—and it looks to be the darkest season yet.

Season two was really uneven and you could clearly see where the network's ideas had been stitched together over the remains of Darabont's plan. Full Story
The Walking Dead may finally be on track
Kevin Winter/Getty
Not that it hasn't been good in the past. It has been very, very good. When The Walking Dead works it works beyond well. It's like watching a movie on TV—the pilot remains one of the best things I've ever seen produced for television. But as good as it can be, there's nothing more frustrating than The Walking Dead, either. Full Story
