Wow OP bet you didn't think this post would turn on you did you. Its kinda funny how one poster can change the hole tone for a post, any other day every post would have been a good job way to stand your ground post. While I don't care for OC and the drama it can bring I will say good job standing your ground and not backing down to a unknowing cop just because it would have been the easy thing to do. Everyone talks tuff but it takes a guy with big ones to stand up to the law. Not being there I don't see anyway anyone could comment on your attitude as its fairly hard to tell attitude over a key board.
This reminds me of the little ditty we were taught when I was learning sailing and seamanship a half a century ago:
Here lies the body of Michael O'Day
Who died maintaining his right of way
He was right - dead right - as he sailed along
But he's just as dead as if he'd been wrong.
The OP "knew his rights", but managed to get shop employees, a public servant and himself all riled up when a simple act of covering up his sidearm could have defused the whole situation. You can profess to the whole world that you're right - but make yourself and many others miserable in the process.
My point is simply this: yes it is important to know your rights, yes it would be nice if everyone understood them as well as you do, but if you're going to make a "stand", I think doing it in a sandwich shop as the OP pursued it isn't going to win over any hearts and minds. Choose your battles wisely - and I don't think the OP did.

Personally, if I were in that exact position, I would have rather tucked and deescalated, as others have said, but I'm not a very confrontational person, either. Perhaps complying with the request of the employee while informing them about the law would have been the best tactic, but bravo for being informed and letting others know the law. I'm sure that the Subway franchise you attended is well-informed by now after that run-in.

I don't think we owe a common courtesy to a 15 self righteous subway employee that felt he had the right of an LEO to ask those questions. I'm betting this was a young man enforcing his agenda. Most states only allow managers or owners to make the call on carry issues in an establishment. Why anyone other than an LEO would approach a an armed person with the intent of provoking an altercation is mind boggling!

I could agree with you if it had stopped there but the OP took the same attitude ( if you believe his post) into the interaction with the LEO. That implies to me that the OP is the issue not a 15 year old Subway employee.
And all of this from a newbie with only 6 posts.
If I am wrong then I apologize to the OP.

Great job OP. Now next time you go to that subway it will be posted with a no guns sign. I'd tell you how I really feel but then I'd get a 10 point penalty.
I'm not sure though. 10 points might be worth it.
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
I wasn't even thinking about that, but that's a likely result of the confrontation. Another reason why reasonable compliance and courtesy go a long ways towards the cause while unnecessary/discourteous confrontation tends to work against us. This incident could potentially turn a pro-/neutral-gun stance to anti- for the store owner and/or manager.

That's exactly right. What I find a bit troubling about the original post can be seen in the quote from the OP below:
Thanx to websites like these I was very knowledgeable and stood my ground,the cop left very irritated because I was right and had a good filling dinner.thanx all for every bit of info u have posted on this subject.helped me out a lot.
to start out i did not have attitude one bit.but after i told the employee no i was not a cop and no i wouldnt do what he said, he just got a [edited] look on his face when he said he was goin to get " a higher power" to come deal with me.i shouldnt have been approached in the first place. i was minding my business, goin about my day.here in sw WA there are quite a few people that open carry, and i havent seen or heard of any issues.as far as the attitude.tired as hell, long day at work, and i was just wanting some dinner and to go home. so because people were not aware of the laws and rights i should be uneasy and understanding, when they dont know their rights and mine? shoot at the same time that the officer was talkin to me a mother of 3 with her 3 kids walked in saw the officer talkin to me and went about her day. didnt evern bother to act afraid or scared.her and the kids sat at the table directly in front of me and had their dinner. im not goin to be hiding my firearm and walk on egg shells just because people dont know the laws and are afraid for no reason. but thank you for your opinion. i most definately respect that.

And your adversarial attitude helped the cause of open carry???
people being comfortable is not my problem and not my every day goal.like i said, i was just minding my own business, goin about my day. trying to get some dinner.
ya i would like to think so.told them my rights, kept my cool,i wasnt commiting any crimes, and i stood up for myself.as i was leaving i went to the subway employee and appologized to him for causing the scene, then told him that they should be more informed about these types of laws.

Understanding Oracle's Growth Position
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- There is no shortage of critics when it comes to assessing the market position of database giant Oracle (ORCL - Get Report).
With rivals such as Salesforce.com (CMR) stealing the hearts of growth investors, it seems the value that Oracle still presents today is suddenly being ignored. The company is now considered irrelevant.
But Oracle's fundamentals as well as its extensive reach within the market tells a different story. With its $32 billion in cash and innovative expertise, the company continues to prove that it has no plans to concede its business to anyone. Investors would be wise to take notice.
A Balanced First-Quarter Start
In its most recent quarter, $8.2 billion in revenue was not enough to excite investors. But it did represent a modest 3% annual growth. Net income arrived at $2 billion, or $0.41 per share, representing a profit increase of 11% year-over-year. On a non-GAAP basis, the company produced $3.6 billion in operating income, or 6% higher from the year ago quarter. This was helped by the company's 2% improvement in operating margin, which arrived at 44%.
The company continues to see increasing demand for its products and services, particularly in the cloud, which produced $222 million in revenue. Likewise, software licenses and cloud subscription revenue grew 11% to $1.6 billion. As a sign of how well the company's model is working, Oracle continues to generate tons of cash, while consistently managing its expenses. Oracle also announced record levels of free cash flow -- $13.4 billion over the past four quarters. Similarly, during that span, operating cash flow increased to $14 billion, of which, $5.7 billion was generated in the just completed quarter. As a sign of its commitment to returning value to shareholders, Oracle announced it purchased over 100 million shares of its stock during the quarter. This brought its stock repurchase total to 300 million shares, or $8.2 billion worth over the past 12 months. In terms of guidance for the coming quarter, Oracle expects to earn between 59 cents to 63 cents per share on a non-GAAP basis, exceeding last year's mark of 54 cents per share.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Bears, bulls, turkeys and change

I've had to laugh about the comments made after the mid-term elections regarding how voters loudly and clearly voted for change. Although no one identified the kind of change the few voters who turned out to express their opinions were looking for, but if it was a change in the markets, none of them must have been paying attention.

Happy Birthday Stock Tickers

November 15 turns out to be a really big day for stocks for it was on this day in 1867 that the first stock ticker machine was used in NYC.
Although it's not one of those birthdates Wall Street celebrates, one would think they would given that prior to the creation of this telegraph machine —and the advent of those little one-, two-, three- or four-lettered ticker symbols —the buying and selling of stocks was a whole lot more cumbersome. Prior to its arrival, stock prices were spoken, handwritten or typed and traveled to and fro by mail or [More]

If it were up to me, Veterans Day would be a national holiday that required the stock market to be closed all day. The bond market is closed. But wouldn't it be nice if for one day the stock market closed to honor the millions of men and women who have fought and died for our nation.

Wages up 3 pennies an hour

That old Great Depression song, "Buddy, Can You Spare a Dime?", seems to be coming around again.
Along with the good news of a positive jobs report for the month of October came news that hourly wages had increased too. At first hearing, that sounds like news worthy of a big, "Whoppee!" But look closer at the hourly wage increase and it's almost laughable— 3 cents.
An hourly wage increase of three cents is only three pennies away from no increase. Then again, add that amount up for an eight-hour workday and you'll have earned 24 cents. That's [More]
Gold dropping like a rock with who knows where to go
- 1:12 pm Thursday, November 6th, 2014 by Dian Vujovich
Remember when gold nugget jewelry was all the rage? People were adorning themselves with all sorts of chunky rings, earrings and bobbles. That, however, was a number of yesteryears ago. Today chunks of gold aren't hot –even when still in the ground—as the price of this precious metal has fallen to lows not seen in four years.
I read this comment from a reader following one of the Bloomberg.com pieces on gold written earlier this week: "Mark Twain described a mine as "a hole in the ground owned by a liar."
The writer identified himself as a "gold and silver trader". [More]
Nothing too scary about October except….
- 12:33 pm Saturday, November 1st, 2014 by Dian Vujovich
Well, so much for investor concerns over a scary October. As the month came to a close, all major indices were up for the month. Better yet, prices at the pump were the lowest seen in years! If it weren't for the over-hyped Ebola scare, the month would have wound up more joy filled than worrisome.
Let's begin with the market.
For the record, stock indices did not have a grim month. The DJIA closed on Friday, Oct. 31 at a record high of 17,390.52 and gained 1.1 percent for the month. The S&P500 also hit a new high closing at [More]
Another view of the bears and the bulls
- 12:24 pm Tuesday, October 28th, 2014 by Dian Vujovich
Stocks started the week on a high note and with more earnings reports coming in, perhaps that trend will continue. Until the week comes to close, however, we won't know for sure.
Three things we do know for sure is the enthusiasm those in the financial media show no matter what's going on, that the market is fickle and a case for the bears and the bulls can often be made.
I came across this piece by Sy Harding at SeekingAlpha.com titled, "Buy The Dip Or Sell The Rally" that confirms those points. Regarding the S&P500s performance last week he [More]

An old-time stockbroker once told me that if you liked a stock after it had reached a new high, then you've got to love it after its price falls. There is a lot of truth to that provided you've done your due diligence and researched the companies you have an interest in before investing.
Heck, word is Warren Buffett, Mr. Research, lost $2 billion in a couple of days and he's holding on to the two biggest reasons for the drop. What about you?

At a small dinner party Friday night, it didn't take long for the conversation to turn from the opening of Nordstrom's Rack at the Palm Beach Outlets to stocks. While talk was about the horrible performance of equities this past week, I told everyone to quit worrying. After all, it's about time that equity prices correct. A 10 percent drop wouldn't be horrible. And for anyone worried about money, I suggested looking in their closets.

"What About Atrial Fibrillation & Aortic Valve Disease?" asks Robert
Tuesday, October 21st, 2014As we learned in our recent post, Atrial Fibrillation: 5 Facts Valve Patients Should Know, it is very important for patients with valvular disorders to learn why and how atrial fibrillation (AFib) can impact the functioning of their heart and their surgical treatment. Shortly after posting, I received an excellent follow-up question from Robert about the potential connection between AFib and, specifically, the aortic valve. In Robert's comment, he writes, "Adam, Was there any discussion of relationships between AFib and aortic valves, valve regurgitation, etc.?"

New to Typophile? Accounts are free, and easy to set up.
I just discovered this site, and have been reading all the postings. I realize that this is an ancient, dead message thread, but I felt moved to respond.
I would absolutely prefer 'micro-(newline)electronics'; I find 'microelec-(newline)tronics' awkward. Just as you'd break a word between syllables, not arbitrariy, I'd prefer to break any kind of compound word between parts, in the most comprehensible place possible. A second point is that I'd also prefer to have the whole word 'electronics' instead of just 'tronics' widowed on the new line.
Ignoring the line break, this is how you'd read it - which is more natural and comprehensible?
Hrant, based on your comments, you might enjoy Francis Crick's book THE ASTONISHING HYPOTHESIS. Crick is one of the co-discoverers of the structure of DNA. The 'astonishing hypothesis' is that the mind is a manifestation of the physical brain. Crick specifically uses visual perception to illustrate this; it's a subject that fascinates me, as I'm sure it does many people here.
The signals from the retinas are sent directly to thousands of specialized visual-processing areas. Each processor looks for one very specific thing - a certain kind of horizontal line, a vertical line, diagonals at certain angles, certain colors. If a processor gets a match for what it 'looks' for, it sends a signal to the next level of processors. Eventually, a three-D model is constructed. You can look at an object on a tabletop, close your eyes and still reach over and pick the object up, because you have an accurate mental model of where that object is in space.
We're extremely good at spotting patterns - when we look at a dashed line, we see it as a line, not just a bunch of individual dashes. We instantly see an implied shape just by seeing parts of it. We're not confused when shapes are broken up - we can look through a multi-paned window, and we're not confused that our view is chopped into small rectangles. We can easily distinguish between individual objects even in a very cluttered scene - these things are all amazing. Most of the work of figuring these things out is done by these dedicated processors, working at a very low level.
There also seem to be processors that respond to anything remotely resembling a face - that's why something as abstract as is seen as a face; even the grill and headlights of a car can easily be seen as a face.
The way that these processors work also explains why we are easily fooled by certain kinds of optical illusions.
My favorite illustration in the book shows two clusters of outline circles like perfectly round 'O's. In the first group, all are complete except for one broken circle, which has a 'C' shape. The broken one instantly jumps out of the group in the first glance - you couldn't possibly miss it.
The second group is just the opposite: all circles are broken except for one. The one complete circle does not stand out at all - you need to hunt for it. The brain has high-speed, automatic tools for spotting broken geometric shapes, but not to automatically spot a complete shape among broken ones - you've got to work at that by brute force, examining each circle.
Which, coming around to a typographic topic again, suggests that some letter shapes work because they take advantage of the brain's built-in ability to automatically spot broken shapes - we're hard-wired to recognize the apertures in a letterform.
Thanks to another thread in this site, I now know how to say 'Tschichold' correctly - I've been asking people this for a long time. My guess would have been something close to 'shick-old,' so I've saved myself some future embarrasment.
Take care,
- Paul

Super cute, but not perfect
Best Uses
Comments about Reversible Argyle Raincoat:
This coat is adorable on my 5lb Morkie, but it has some design flaws. I bought the small size, and it's the perfect length for her 12" body, but is a little too tight for her 12.5" chest. She doesn't love walking in it as much as I had hoped she would since she doesn't like getting wet in the rain. I know if I went up a size it would be way too long.
While the 2 pockets on the back are cute and functional, there is no slot for you to feed the leash through for a harness or collar. The hood is also more form than function as it doesn't fit comfortably over her head.
Also, while the coat technically is "reversible" since there is a design on the inner fabric side, I'm sure that any dog would be twice as uncomfortable having the raincoat part as the inside of the jacket. I'm sure it would rub and catch their fur and feel most unpleasent.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

text: Hi all I have tried building GNOME 2.12.[23] on my quite a recent LFS system for awhile without success. My problems are: - When starting gnome as root, gnome-panel crashes - When starting as a normal user, menus from the panel do not open, perhaps someone thinks that they are empty - Actually not gnome-related: xscreensaver 4.2[23] segfaults when ever it activates and takes down xorg 6.8.2 with it. When I built with --enable-debug, the system worked better, but I got lots of messages about assertion failures, mostly NULL was passed as a parameter, where it should not be. This time I compiled 2.12.3 with --disable-debug. I have set all environment variables as they should be (before starting to compile anything). The only problem during compilation was that convert-test from glib 2.8.6 failed, because it could not iconv to ISO8859-15. So my question is, is there something terribly wrong with my system. I built LFS with GCC 4.0.2, glibc 2.3.5 and HJL binutils 18.104.22.168.3. Now I have upgraded to GCC 4.1.0, glibc 2.3.6 and HJL binutlis 22.214.171.124.7. I have not experienced problems with my system except those listed above. I'll be very glad if someone has something else to say than "start from scratch." Thanks in advance! -- Tapio

Elizabeth: The Golden Age
5:10 PM — 1997's Elizabeth, dealing with the early years of Queen Elizabeth I and her difficult passage to the throne, was a glorious example of the most lavish kind of period drama. Plush sets, a big-name cast, incredible costumes, and a central performance from a then-nearly unknown Cate Blanchett, who was robbed of an Oscar - Best Actress that year instead went to Gwyneth Paltrow for her turn in the so-so Elizabethan romantic comedy Shakespeare in Love, prompting a memorable bout of acceptance speech hysterics.
Lions for Lambs 1
5:10 PM — Say what you like about Tom Cruise, he certainly knows how to pick his films. He may well have had a falling out with Paramount after his bizarre, Scientology and love-inspired behaviour in the run-up to his wedding last year, but love him or loathe him he's one of the most bankable stars in Hollywood - and you don't get to that level of fame by appearing in bad films. Unless, of course, they're bad films that are likely to make a huge amount of money - like Days of Thunder, Legend or the last couple of Mission: Impossible movies.
5:10 PM — In the wake of the massive success of The Lord of the Rings, little wonder that Hollywood's been scrabbling around for other fantasy epics to bring to the big screen, now that the technology is finally good enough to create the kind of strange creatures with which such legendary settings abound. 2005's adaptation of The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe - and its forthcoming sequel Prince Caspian - was an obvious choice, so similar are the two books, thanks to their authors' friendship.
American Gangster 1
5:10 PM — OK, so the last team-up between director Ridley Scott and Russell Crowe, last year's film adaptation of A Year in Provence that was A Good Year, may have been critically panned and largely ignored by cinemagoers.Yes, Scott's outing before that, 2005's historical epic Kingdom of Heaven, was likewise slated and shunned. And yes, his film before that, the Nic Cage-starring Matchstick Men, made little real impact.
5:10 PM — What is it with doing remakes of classic Michael Caine films? Haven't they learned by now? We've had the glossy but utterly facile Jude Law-starring remake of Alfie, which singularly managed to remove any of the easy cool and charm from that wonderfully misogynistic character, and ripped out the deep sense of melancholy at the heart of the original film in the process. We've had the truly abysmal, almost sacrilegious remake of the glorious Get Carter, with Sylvester Stallone making Caine's cold-heartedly distraught mob killer on a revenge trip into an overweight and pathetically mumbling joke.
Horror guru calls for gay lead characters in computer games 1
5:10 PM — Author, artist and computer game designer Clive Barker has attracted anti-gay remarks after saying he would like to see a game with a central gay character.Mr Barker made the remarks to Gamepro.com on Tuesday while being interviewed about the design and release of his new game, Jericho, on the Xbox 360.Asked about the role of gender in games, he said: "One day I want to be part of a team that creates a game with a gay man or woman in the lead role where they are casually sexual."
The Darjeeling Limited
5:10 PM — The fifth film by oddball director Wes Anderson - he of The Royal Tenenbaums and The Life Aquatic fame - was always going to be much anticipated.Anderson's films have a wonderful tendency to be both decidedly quirky and gloriously affecting comic character studies quite unlike anything being churned out by anyone else in the Hollywood mainstream.
The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford
5:10 PM — One of the most anticipated films of the autumn, The Assassination of Jesse James has nonetheless been a long time in coming - nearly as long as its title, in fact.Originally set for a 2006 release, with filming completed more than two years ago, despite rave reviews from test screenings for the central performances of Brad Pitt (as James) and Ben's little brother Casey Affleck (as Ford), the fact that the film is a Western seems to have given the studio a number of concerns.
Fred Claus
5:10 PM — One of the major benefits of the spread of the internet and the boom in movie piracy has been that the big American studios have finally begun to release their films world-wide at approximately the same time. Whereas in the bad old days us poor consumers from the UK market would end up getting Christmas movies in February or March, the studios following their old pattern of staggering European releases until a good three months after the American box office had had its fill, or even have to wait until the following Christmas, those nasty pirates have forced the studios' hands.

The 'cannot stat' message is generated automatically from the nightly build. When you updated FF, the patch was still in xulrunner. I see that you've removed it from there so all should be good. -- Bruce

Posted Oct 01 2008 9:31pm
Am very proud of myself today, as thanks to a small amount of determination combined with huge lashings of desire to buy pretty new things plus an overly zealous mother to fuel it all, I went on my first shopping excursion today, yay! I was really quite nervous. Lungs are having a fair bit of trouble coping still, so whereas before I would just use 2litres of oxygen I am often having to whack my O2 up to as high as 8litres to calm little lungs down (clearly they have become far to diva like in their ways). This factor makes me a tad nervous to go anywhere too far from my concentrator, as the tiny portable cylinders I have don't last very long at all, plus it takes no end of blood sweat and tears to actually coax the company to give you more than 3 at a time. It is those damn "what-ifs" which can creep in if you aren't careful; what if I get really breathless and can't run my cylinder as high as my machine to give me some relief? What if we get stuck somewhere due to traffic/roadworks/landslide/carnival procession or similar and my O2 begins to run low? Not so much of a problem when the O2 is simply perking me up and making breathing easier but at the moment breathing doesn't just become slightly hard work, but rather almost impossible without the support.
Luckily the desire for pretty things has been building slowly but consistently over the last week or so, until (as I predicted and hoped it would) it significantly surpassed anxiety caused by the what-ifs. Feeling quite good lung wise and emboldened by thoughts of beautiful shoes, me Abby and my mother set off in the car and parked down a quiet road thanks to my little blue badge (I still get such strange looks when we pull up in a disabled bay, which I take as a compliment as the nasal specs clearly aren't that prominent for people to be scowling at me as I wave merrily back at them). Even with the promise of shiny new things, it took quite a lot of push mentally to actually go, as it is just so much easier to put it off indefinitely; oh I am not quite feeling up to it, plus it will tire me out, etc etc. The sun was out and the sky a gorgeous deep blue as we set off with me in Denzel (my wheelchair) towards the shopping centre. It is all such a strange sensation still, cars roaring past, people pushing and chatting loudly, rushing around going about their daily business. I felt like a five year old as not only was I quite nervous, I was acutely aware of how helpless I am and completely reliant on someone else - normally I can at least maneuver Denzel around a bit on my own using my arms but I cant do that at the moment. Being out and about in the town again was strange, but nice, nice to be reintroducing myself back to normality. Also every time I face something I feel nervous about it boosters me with confidence, as I feel the nerves gradually subside, and I can add that as another accomplishment in the "Emily 1, CF 0" game which I am determined to keep playing. Tiny accomplishments are the way forward.
We headed straight for H&M as my mother most sensibly reasoned that just incase I want to return home after 10 minutes we should start with our favourite shop. I found some gorgeous bits and pieces (sensible trousers which I did need canceling out the beautiful but not quite so necessary tops, necklace and earrings also purchased). I wouldn't say I was on edge all the time, rather having to work quite hard not to be, and not to keep thinking about breathing and potential breathing related problems. For example when looking for sensible trousers, my right lung got bored and decided to amuse itself by creating random stabbing pains in the top lobe, roughly where my 4th collapse was. Repressing the overwhelming urge to panic I decided to try and work out the new price of items which were labeled with markings such as "70% off". This distraction technique worked a treat (predominantly because that is maths sadly beyond my capabilities) and the panic subsided leaving just the stabby pains, which on realizing I wasn't about to rush home shrieking also began to die down. It is nerve-wracking and it is hard, but what frightens me more is the idea that my teeny battered lungs will prevent me from doing the things I love, and I will not let that happen, not yet. Emily 1, CF 0.
Brimming with new confidence and pleasure at having convinced lungs to temporarily comply, I demanded that we wheel in the direction of a shoe shop, and purchased the most beautiful shoes in the whole world ever (also known as glorious-but-completely-impractical-not-to-mention-unnecessary shoes). Thank god for Denzel, because I can't walk in them. I have decided that they will become permanently attached to my feet and I shall refuse to take them off, even when in hospital. I have included a picture here for your delight and delectation, also because the money funding this shopping spree was kindly raised by some wonderful friends and family who attended a concert organized as a fundraiser for me when I was in hospital. So as well as boring things such as reimbursing family for some of the car parking fees accumulated (Chelsea & Westminster council took over £1000 from my family in car parking costs over the 11 weeks) here's the evidence that your money is going on slightly more attractive vital necessities, which are so very essential for life. Hurrah for fabulous shoes!

The Knowing Me, Knowing You Write-Off SurveyJan 5, 2006 (Updated Feb 14, 2006)
Popular Products in Books
The Bottom Line Knowing Me or Knowing You Write-Off - a great way to get to know more people on the site.
I found this write-off topic when I stumbled onto cascogirl's entry in a write off hosted by brett_day. It's another getting to know you survey, the fifth one I've participated in here at Epinions. I know it seems like this is all I do lately, and I am working on a number of reviews, they are just taking longer to finish than I anticipated and I feel I should keep posting stuff, just to keep up with the targets I set, which are posted at the bottom of my Epinions profile page. 1. What is your First name? Steven 2. Were you named after anyone? No, not that I know of. 3. Do you wish on stars? I don't know if I've ever wished on stars. I've never actually seen a shooting star. When I was younger I once looked up at the moon and dreamed about a girl I was crushing on at the time. Part of me was wondering and hoping that she might be also looking up at the moon, perhaps thinking about me. 4. When did you last cry? In mid-December, 2005. 5. Do you like your handwriting? I print mostly when I write with a pen or pencil. I seldom handwrite anymore, probably because I suck. I don't even like the look of my own signature. 6. What is your favorite meat? Meat kinda makes me sick. I don't like handling raw meat, even though I can cook. I do eat meat though. I love chicken (cooked any way), BBQ ribs (not hickory or smoked BBQ sauce though), steak and roast beef (both medium-rare), the roast beef with good old fashioned yorkshire pudding. But in a strange sort of parallel to the central Atwood character from The Robber Bride, when I think about meat I see blood and it makes me ill. 7. What is your birth date? Wow. This is getting a little personal. April 15, 1977. God, I'm old. 8. If you were another person, would YOU be friends with you? No. 9. Do you have a journal? I maintain a blog and I've been doing a lot of personal writing lately, a sort of memoir / personal braided essay. 10. Do you use sarcasm a lot? I dunno. What do you think? 11. What are your nicknames? A$$$$$hole. Mother Fracker. D1ckhead. Idiot. Mouthpiece. Oh wait, those are the names people call me. just kidding... Nicknames: Steve-O, Stevie, Steverino, Hanju (my middle name, the name of my Father). 12. Would you bungee jump? I so would love to bungee jump someday! I'm also interested in skydiving. 13. Do you untie your shoes when you take them off? No. I even use a shoehorn to put those tied shoes back on. 14. Do you think that you are strong? People say I can be very strong, especially emotionally in stressful situations. Even though I can wear the appearance of being strong, I can be very scared inside. I'm also fairly physically strong, although I could always be in better shape. 15. What is your favorite ice cream flavor? Vanilla. Strawberry. 16. What is your Shoe Size? 10 1/2. 17. Which is your favorite: red or pink? Both colours are just fine, but I've always been a bit of a blue man. 18. What is your least favorite thing about yourself? My mini beer gut. I need to get into shape. 19. What do you miss most about being a child? Part of me has never grown up. I'll always be a child. I still play with lego. I still love just hanging out by myself, going for a bike ride, going for a long walk, fantasizing and dreaming about what the future holds. 20. Do you want everyone who reads this, to reply with their own answers? You bet. Everyone should do this set of questions, right away, without delay. 21. What color pants and shoes are you wearing right now? Dark grey pj bottoms, a dark grey Kwantlen University College t-shirt. 22. What CD are you currently listening to? I'm not currently listening to anything, I actually have a DVD playing right now, featuring a tv-show called Nowhere Man, which I'm writing a review on. 23. What is Last thing you ate? Macaroni and cheese for dinner and a organic chocolate chip cookie. 24. If you were a crayon, what color would you be, and why? I dunno. I've never thought about it that way before. A light sky blue, mostly because I love that colour. 25. What is the weather like right now? Raining in Vancouver. What a surprise, surprise, surprise. Speaking of Vancouver, Vancouver is British Columbia, which is in the great, proud nation of Canada... go do my DO YOU KNOW CANADA QUIZ write off... 26. Last person you talked to on the phone? My amazingly great and kind girlfriend, Christine. 27. The first thing you notice about the opposite sex? Eyes. Face, smile. Hair colour. Body type, breasts. I soak in the full view to get the full experience. 28. Current Favorite Drink? Hot - I always like tea. Cool drink - fruitopia 29. What is your Favorite Sport? I don't really have time for sports. I guess foosball, although I totally SUCK at it. I do bike ride a lot and do a lot of walking. 30. What color is your Hair? It's dirty blonde. 31. What color are your eyes? Baby blue. 32. Do you wear contacts? No, I wear glasses. That's right, that's me, good ol' four eyes. 33. What is your Favorite Ethnic Food? Chinese - dim sum, potstickers (gioza), won-ton soup, beef 'n brocoli, chicken chow-mein, sometimes sweet 'n sour pork (but that's getting to be a bit too white for my taste), chicken with spicy black pepper sauce. Hon's Won-Ton House in Vancouver, as well as The Ridge Chinese Food Restaurant, also in Vancouver, serve up great Chinese food. Speaking of Vancouver, Vancouver is British Columbia, which is in the great, proud nation of Canada... go do my DO YOU KNOW CANADA QUIZ write off... 34. Last Movie You Watched? Recently watched Memoirs of a Giesha, Brokeback Mountain and King Kong. Also revisited the wonderful Wedding Crashers on DVD this week. 35. What is your Favorite Day Of The Year? I dunno. I never really thought about it that way. 36. Scary Movies Or Happy Endings? Just as long as it's a good story with dynamic characters caught up in a relatively interesting situation. 37. Which is your favorite, Summer or Winter? I don't always appreciate the heat of the summer and sometimes it's just too darn cold in the winter. The fall and spring are more temperate times of the year and more agreeable toward my overall demeanour. 38. Which do you prefer, Hugs OR Kisses? A long considerate Hugz will do me just fine anyday. 39. What Is Your Favorite Dessert? Given the issue with my tummy being a bit round and perhaps a bit overweight, which I've mentioned above, I've been trying to avoid desserts. 40. What books are you currently reading? Re-reading a million little pieces by James Frey as I analyze it for a review I'm working on. I've almost finished Frey's newest work, my friend Leonard and I'm working on Atwood's Alias Grace. I'm also reading a number of books on creative writing and on business. 41. What's On Your Mouse Pad? Nothing mainly because I don't have a pad. My mouse is a wireless optical mouse, thus I have no need for a mouse pad of any kind. 42. What Did You Watch Last night on TV? Some news, not much else. I went to the movie theatre to see Memoirs of a Giesha (I sure hope I spelt Giesha right. I have a feeling I spelt it, and many other words in this article wrong. For that, I'm sorry). So today I've been watching mainly the first few episodes of the 1996 television series Nowhere Man starring Bruce Greenwood. 43. What are your favorite smells? The smell of the girl I'm crushing on right now. I love the smell of freshly baked goods, of fresh spring air. 44. What are your favorite sounds? Can I talk about that here? Maybe that's a bit too adult ;) Just kidding. Hmmm. I never really thought about it that way before. I love the peaceful call of the loon, as the sun sets or rises, on some lonely lake in the middle of nowhere. 45. Which is your favorite The Rolling Stones or The Beatles? Depends. I guess I like The Rolling Stones more. 46. What's the furthest you've been from home? One time I woke up, the atmosphere was very thin, the sky, very dark. I stood and all round me the dirt was grey, sandy and ominous. I looked up towards the horizon and the big blue aw-inspiring sight of the Earth in all its sunlit glory lay before me. My eyes grew wide at the sight, my heart skipped a beat, so beautiful was this view, a view of perfect harmony. So subtle, so charming, so peaceful. I smile a bit, and quickly come to the realization that there is no air and that I'm going to die, out here, alone, lost on the moon. Read More About Me...

Franchise QBs aren't available every draft, so don't force it. Of course, everyone here thinks we should force it, so whatever. Personally, I can see at least a couple franchise QB prospects coming out next year, but do not see one at all this year. Looking back:
2013: no true franchise prospect
2012: one real no brainer, and then the overblown hype bout RGIII, who I like but do not buy into long term because of his style. In retrospect, Russell Wilson might be the 2nd best QB from that class long term, but no one tabbed him as a true franchise QB prospect.
2011: Cam Newton was the only no brainer, AFAIC
2010: Sam Bradford was considered to be that pro-ready, franchise QB prospect - perhaps not to the talent level of a guy like Luck, but a guy that could be built around. No one else.
2009: Stafford.
2008: Matt Ryan.
Could go on, but you get the point. There's usually (not always) one consensus franchise caliber QB prospect. They're usually taken in the top few picks. Whether or not they pan out is a different subject. But the overriding point is unless you get a top pick in a year that happens to have one of those, you're either forcing the issue and hoping it pans out, or you're developing one from a later round (Wilson, GSmith, Foles, Cousins, Dalton, etc.). That's not any more ht or miss than the top round picks when you look at bust rates, TBH.
I just don't want to see the team force a pick on a QB just because they have a top pick and they need a QB. If the QB isn't there at the top of the first round (there isn't, IMO), then take BPA and grab a QB in the 2nd-4th round. I feel like McCarron, Murray (before injury), Mettenberger, Carr, and maybe another one or two QBs could turn out to be just as good as Bridgewater from this draft. I don't see any of them turning out to be the next Luck, Manning, or even Matt Ryan, but hey, you never know. I just don't see the reward for the risk of a top pick.
We're gonna have to agree to disagree on this one, Eriadoc. Personally (and obviously this is JMO) I think Bridgewater can be that guy. Maybe it's the issue of us seeing different stuff on tape. Whatever the cause, I think he IS the franchise guy, and our debate aside this is the job for the new FO (or god forbid the current FO) to decide. Is he the guy? This is a important question that will shape the fate of this franchise. I think he is, but if he's not I will accept it and look elsewhere. The idea of drafting OL and LB talent is a good one. I don't like it as much because it takes a year out of having a QB, and then we're rolling the dice on being able to get Winston or Hogan or Petty (any three or all three of whom could fall off a la Barkley). There is no sure thing in the NFL.
At the end of the day we need a franchise QB. I don't care who it is, I want one. I just think that Bridgewater could be that guy. I could be totally wrong. I'm certainly not rabid about him, but I see the potential there. You don't - and the FO is gonna have to decide for themselves. Let's just hope as fans they make the right choice, whatever it is.

We announced the following projects and you took notice. Here is a ranking of the projects that readers showed the most interest in.
As New York skyscrapers grow ever taller, Aaron Betsky notes one that uses its slenderness and height to full advantage: 432 Park Avenue, by Rafael Viñoly Architects.
Gehry Parterns and Foster + Partners are collaborating on a residential and commercial corridor at the heart of London's Battersea Power Station development.
Deadly buildings, like the Rafael Viñoly–designed Walkie Talkie that melted a Jaguar in London, are something that the public expects from architects. And that's a bad thing.
StreetsPAC endorses a candidate for the mayor's race in New York City; a Rafael Viñoly building draws first blood in London; petitions to save sites from powerful developments in Los Angeles and New York.
Despite a recession that has lasted almost two decades, the aging and shrinking of its population, and national debt, there are still cranes busy all around Tokyo and other cities and new infrastructure being built. Aaron Betsky vets the competitors for a national stadium, and is exhilarated by the...
This traditionally conservative community is shedding its past and moving into its future.
The work of Rafael Viñoly and his eponymous 200-person firm certainly has its share of glamour (and has received the awards to prove it).

Does Israel suffer from 'Iranophobia'?
Some Israelis argue that an 'Iranophobia' holds unnecessary sway over Israeli thinking about a wide range of problems, from rearming of Hezbollah to the 'terrorist' activists aboard the Gaza flotilla. Should Israel see less of a threat in Iran?
Uriel Sinai/AP
Tel Aviv, Israel
Barely a day goes by without a strident warning from a top Israeli official, politician, or general about the nature of the "threat" Iran poses to the Jewish state. It's unprecedented. Or it's imminent. Or it's existential. And it is declared to be behind every Israeli problem, from the rearming of Hezbollah in Lebanon to the "terrorist" humanitarian activists aboard the Gaza flotilla.
How powerful is that anti-Iran mindset in Israel? How is fear of an Iranian nuclear weapon heightened by the blasts of anti-Israel invective from the neoconservative government of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in Tehran?
"We are making them stronger than they are," says David Menashri, the director of the Center for Iranian Studies at Tel Aviv University. "To refer to Iran as an 'existential threat' – I refuse to use this term – you give Iran greater credit than they deserve.... What signal does it send to our own people, that the day Iran should have nuclear weapons you should leave the country, because your existence is threatened?"

"…a higher echelon of musicianship…. a talented singer with a compelling sound that's earned her well-deserved staying power." –Jennifer Odell, Downbeat Magazine
"…subtlety of phrases and suppleness of tone. Plenty of Sarah Vaughan in this singing–you can hear it in swooping gestures and dramatic leaps from high to low." –Howard Reich, Chicago Tribune
Kimberly Gordon is a vivacious and velvet-voiced Chicago veteran who returns to delight Bay Area jazz fans after more than a decade of success in the Windy City. Lauded by Wynton Marsalis and 2014 Grammy winner Neil Tesser alike, Gordon sings and swings with a unique talent, always true to the melody as written, with loving respect for masters Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughan, and Carmen McRae. With a natural timbre that evokes McRae, Kimberly Gordon will reprise some favorite Carmen McRae tunes, accompanied by beloved local legend Marshall Otwell, McRae's pianist for years, from New York to Montreux to the West Coast, with Seward McCain on bass and Mike Shannon on drums.

Mike Johnson Fine with Defensive Attention
Mike Johnson Fine with Defensive Attention
Jay Adams
Published September 20, 2012 at 10:01 AMIt was a crucial time during Monday night's game when offensive coordinator Dirk Koetter called his top three wide receivers — Roddy White, Julio Jones and Harry Douglas — off the field.
On first-and-goal at the 1-yard line in the second quarter of Monday's 27-21 win over the Broncos, the Falcons looked primed to run the ball to cross the goal line. Instead, Matt Ryan faked the handoff and stood firm in the pocket while tight end Tony Gonzalez and guard/tackle Mike Johnson — declared an eligible receiver before the play — rolled out into their patterns.
Gonzalez — a 12-time Pro Bowler at that position with 1,000 catches — garnered absolutely no attention from the Broncos defense. Mike Johnson, however, might as well have been wearing a No. 11 jersey with the attention he received.
"We got to the line — and it wasn't the exact look we were looking for in practice — but I noticed the (defender) was kind of sitting off the ball and was waiting for me," Johnson said with a smile during Wednesday's open locker room session. "I just blocked the end a little bit and tried to get out as much as I could. I even put my hand up for a minute, trying to say I was open to Matt, but I think he went with the better option to get it to Tony."
Watch the play by clicking here
Ryan threw a dart and found a wide-open Gonzalez in the back of the end zone before Gonzalez finished the scoring play off with his trademark dunk.
Johnson said that play continues to evolve and the Falcons can do a lot of different things out of it. But should the time ever come where he gets a look from Ryan, he wants his quarterback that he can trust him.
"My hands are pretty good. I like to think so," Johnson said with a laugh. "I guess we'll find out if I ever get in that situation."

World's most luxurious cat food
Celebrity chef Simon Rimmer has created the world's most luxurious cat food featuring roasted duck, lobster sushi roll and Beluga caviar.
The feline-friendly dish costs £24.99 per portion and the first run, sold exclusively at the IceTank kitchen in London's Covent Garden, sold out in 50 minutes.
Rimmer, who presents Channel 4 show Sunday Brunch, handmade a batch of 50 of the meals for MORE TH>N pet insurance.
The special meal was sold to raise money for the RSPCA, but following its popularity another batch is being planned.
The Daily Telegraph quoted Rimmer as saying: "By working closely with animal experts we've created a dish that is not only good for cats but also a 'once-in-nine-lifetimes' food experience for them."
