Ervin Santana helps Braves blank Cubs; Justin Upton leaves after HBP
ATLANTA -- Ervin Santana almost was knocked out by a rain delay.
It was a bigger scare than he ever faced from the Cubs.
Santana pitched five-hit ball for seven innings to remain unbeaten, Ryan Doumit snapped a scoreless tie with a pinch-hit double in the seventh and the Atlanta Braves beat Chicago 2-0 on Saturday night.
Santana (4-0) overcame that delay of 1 hour, 7 minutes in the third inning and outlasted Cubs right-hander Jeff Samardzija, who had his long winless streak continue.
Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez said he would have pulled Santana if the delay lasted only a few minutes longer.
"We were about five to 10 minutes from shutting him down," Gonzalez said. "It was that long.
"You don't want guys sitting around for an hour and a half, an hour and 20 minutes. We were that close, really."
Santana walked one and struck out seven.
"Santana was terrific -- better than terrific, really," Gonzalez said.
Samardzija was just as strong. He allowed only two hits with one walk and seven strikeouts in six innings. He lowered his ERA to 1.45, second in the NL, but he is still without a win this season.
Samardzija's winless streak was extended to 14 starts. His last victory came on Aug. 24, 2013, at San Diego. He said the long drought wasn't wearing on him.
"No. I understand the situation, I understand how things go," he said. "Baseball is a funny sport. It's just one of those things where you learn from it. It usually comes around in the end and it all evens out."
Braves left fielder Justin Upton left the game in the sixth with a lower back muscle bruise after being hit by a pitch from Samardzija. He is day to day.
Braves closer Craig Kimbrel pitched the ninth for his 10th save.
Kimbrel, who blew a 2-1 lead in the ninth in the Braves' 3-2 win in 10 innings on Friday night, was back in form. He walked Starlin Castro with two outs before striking out Luis Valbuena to end the game.
The Braves scored two runs in the seventh off right-hander Brian Schlitter (2-1). Following singles by Chris Johnson and Andrelton Simmons, Doumit pinch hit for Santana and drove in Johnson with his double. Simmons scored on Tyler Pastornicky's suicide squeeze bunt.
The NL East-leading Braves have won three of four after losing seven straight.
"I don't think we've clicked on all cylinders yet from an offensive standpoint, from a defensive standpoint, a pitching standpoint," Doumit said. "I think we're starting to show we can and once we do it's really going to be scary."
Upton ran to first base after being hit by the pitch from Samardzija. After being checked by Braves trainer Jeff Lovell, he walked slowly off the field in apparent pain.
Upton had another injury scare in the fourth inning. He appeared to hurt his lower back when he tagged Anthony Rizzo at the end of a long rundown between first and second. Upton ran in from the outfield to help on the play. Rizzo collided with Upton, who then bent over and reached for his lower back but remained in the game.
Upton said the pitch from Samardzija hit him in about the same spot as where he felt the pain in the fourth inning. He said he felt a spasm in the back muscle in the sixth.
Gonzalez said he likely would give Upton a day off on Sunday.
Game notes
The Braves placed RHP Jordan Walden on the 15-day DL, retroactive to May 5, with a strained left hamstring. LHP Ian Thomas was recalled from Triple-A Gwinnett. Walden has one save and a 2.92 ERA in 14 games. Thomas was sent to Gwinnett on Sunday with instructions to work on his slider. ... The Cubs have lost six of seven. ... The Braves are 12-0 when scoring the first run in a game. ... Gonzalez said LHP Jonny Venters, recovering from his second Tommy John surgery, will report to the team's minor league complex in Orlando and will begin throwing batting practice on Friday. ... The series ends on Sunday with Atlanta's Aaron Harang facing Chicago's Edwin Jackson in a matchup of right-handers.

A crime noir graphic novel from the creator of Image's Hoax Hunters! Nate McCoy has a gift--he can see the peopel he reincarnated from.
About this project
Update #4--Read the entire first issue!
Get the PDF right HERE
Update #3--Reviews!
The first issue has seen it's way into the hands of a few reviewers, and the response has been outstanding.
Lonnie Nadler of Bloody-Disgusting said that "Reincar(Nate) is a gripping sci-fi crime story that's got it all. This is a strong first issue, with great characterization, and a unique, slightly eerie, twist on traditional neo-noir. After finishing the issue, it left so much unanswered, so much intrigue, that I instantly wanted more. Moreci and Burns have something special here, and I can't wait to read the rest."
Read the review yourself here.
The Outhouser said "Reincar(Nate) is a great independent comic which holds its own against peers such as Criminal, Who is Jake Ellis, and Chew. It's a perfect blend of gritty crime drama and the surreal."
Read that entire review here.
Multiversity said "This project is very well crafted with fitting, atmospheric art from Burns, and by the last page it had its hooks in me big time. It's well deserving of a contribution if you're into high quality crime comics with unique high concepts."
Check out the entire piece here.
And Comic Related said, "Having seen an extended look at the story, Burns' artwork, Beckett's colors, and even Campbell's unnoticeable letters that let the words flow naturally through and around the story, I can say that I'm anxiously waiting for this story to come."
Check that one out here.
Want to see an extended preview of the book? You can! The first 13 pages, in fact.
Download the PDF here.
Update #2!
Since we hit the $1000 mark in less than three days, we're adding to the $35 incentive. Pledge at that level, and we'll throw in the exclusive print!
What's this all about?
Reincar(Nate) is a 102-page, full-color graphic novel that tells the story of Nate McCoy, a well-meaning, down on his luck P.I. who has a special ability--he can see and interact with past versions of himself. The people he reincarnated from. With the help of Jameson (a Wild West lawman) and Alan (a 1960s-era hitman), Nate works to solve his latest case, one that digs straight to the heart of the city's criminal underworld.
If you're a fan of stylized, character-driven noir in the vein of Chew or Terriers, you'll find a lot to like in Reincar(Nate).
And you are...
I'm Michael Moreci, writer and co-creator of Reincar(Nate)! You may be familiar with my series Hoax Hunters from Image Comics.
Why Kickstarter?
Work on Reincar(Nate) has been a labor of love for everyone involved. Keith Burns (the book's artist) and I began this project over two years ago and are absolutely thrilled to be nearing completion. The book will be finished this summer (likely in June) and will be ready to ship soon after. We're fortunate to have a supportive publisher in Viper Comics (Dead @ 17, The Middleman) who will be releasing the book digitally to coincide with our print release. Even with Reincar(Nate) being widely available on digital platforms, Keith and I believe so much in the book that we want to see it in print, hence the Kickstarter drive.
Money raised will go to printing the book, shipping it, and funding the creative team--which includes Chris Beckett on colors and Jim Campbell handing letter duties--while they focus on wrapping the book up to the best of their abilities. No one is getting rich; it's just enough to pay some bills and allow for the freedom to get the book done.
What do I get?
Anything above the $5 digital level will score you a complete graphic novel--this isn't a volume in a series or something that will be delivered in installments. You get a full story, start to finish. And, there's lots of cool incentives, from the behind-the-scenes digital packet to an opportunity to actually be illustrated in the book. You can star in a comic!
For an extended look at Reincar(Nate), check out this nine-page preview:
When will the book ship?
Our ambition is to have the book debut at San Diego Comic Con, but that's still to be determined. Either way, the book will ship in August!
Please add an extra $5 for all international orders.
Thank you for your support and for in helping to make Reincar(Nate) possible!

Murder at 1600 is a 1997 action film starring Wesley Snipes, Diane Lane, Dennis Miller, Ronny Cox, Daniel Benzali, and Alan Alda. The 1600 in the title refers to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, the address of the White House. The film is based on the novel Murder in the White House by Margaret Truman, daughter of U.S. President Harry S. Truman.
This article's plot summary may be too long or excessively detailed. (February 2012) |
In a restroom in the White House in Washington, D.C., a janitor finds White House secretary Carla Town (Mary Moore) dead. Metropolitan Police homicide Detective Harlan Regis (Wesley Snipes), whose apartment house is awaiting demolition in favor of a parking lot, is put on the case. At the White House, Regis is introduced to U.S. Secret Service Director Nick Spikings (Daniel Benzali), U.S. National Security Advisor Alvin Jordan (Alan Alda) and Secret Service agent Nina Chance (Diane Lane). Spikings assigns Chance, a former Olympic gold-class sharpshooter, to keep an eye on Regis.
Parallel to this, the White House has to deal with an impending international crisis: U.S. President Jack Neil (Ronny Cox) has been trying to deal with a situation where Americans are being held hostage in North Korea, and some people—including several members of his inner circle, led by Vice President Gordon Dylan—think the President is not handling it the right way. Some people think Neil should send troops to North Korea to rescue the hostages; he does not want to start a potential 2nd Korean War, and is disgusted that a high-ranking military official says that the main reason to act decisively is to send a message to North Korea's only ally, China.
Regis and Chance discover that Carla had an appointment in New York City and a flight from New York to the Virgin Islands, with no intention of returning to the U.S.. Coroner Jimmy Foley (Richard Blackburn) then tells the detective and the agent that whoever had sex with Carla on the night of the murder used a condom, meaning that no DNA was left. White House janitor Cory Allen Luchessi (Tony Nappo) was apparently unaccounted for on the night of the murder and had once attempted to make a pass at Carla; he is arrested and questioned, but his testimony and a clearly set-up piece of evidence lead Regis to suspect that the Secret Service may be involved. That night, Regis finds his apartment burglarized; the culprit escapes, and in a subsequent search, a hidden bug is found.
In a picture of Carla, Regis sees Secret Service agent Burton Cash (Nigel Bennett), the Secret Service agent assigned to Kyle Neil (Tate Donovan), the son of President Neil and First Lady Kitty Neil (Diane Baker). Regis figures out that it was Kyle who had sex with Carla on the night of the murder. At the dance club, Regis talks to a young woman who says that Kyle once bragged that he shared Carla with his father. Carla's uncle's company, Brookline Associates, is President Neil's leading East Coast fundraiser and Brookline also owns the apartment Carla lived in.
Regis eventually discovers that Chance once used to be Kyle's bodyguard herself. When he confronts her, Chance explains that one night, she heard noises coming from Kyle's apartment, went in, and found Kyle beating up his girlfriend. The agent asked to be reassigned and was replaced by Burton Cash, and the Secret Service covered up the beating for Kyle so he would not be arrested for assault and battery. This sparks Regis' suspicion that Kyle may actually be Carla's murderer.
On the next day, Chance decides to forgo her duty and sneaks into the archive storage where she appropriates several pieces of evidence from Town's leftover possessions. Spikings finds out about this and sends Agent Cooper (Tom Wright) to look for Chance, who successfully avoids Cooper. She meets Regis and tells him that Carla, according to a note in an appointment book, had an appointment in New York with Craig Nisker & Associates, who have sold 5 of the top 10 scandal memoirs of all time, and they know that the appointment would be a good motive for Kyle to kill Carla. They also discover that the President and his wife were in the White House at the time of the murder, not at Camp David, like they said they were. Since Neil had also allegedly slept with Carla, he would have the same motive Kyle would have for preventing a public scandal(but this is never proven).
Regis confronts Kyle with his suspicions, who claims that he did not murder Carla, but is able to provide a special piece of information: among the bookings she made, Carla has supposedly also ordered a car - with the only hitch being that she had had no driver's license. Later on, Regis and Chance discover that the most recent entries in Carla's appointment book were forged. With some clues left by Alvin Jordan, Regis manages to find out that Spikings has withheld several surveillance video tapes from the night of the murder. Regis goes to Spikings's residence to question him, and Spikings is willing to show him the tape but is suddenly killed by a sniper.
Regis and Chance escape the gunfire with Spikings's tape, and when played, discover that Jordan is behind everything, but things get the more difficult for them as the National Security Advisor has now framed the detective and the agent as traitors. Jordan wants Neil to resign so Dylan (Chris Gillett) can take over as President, because Dylan would not be afraid to send troops to North Korea to rescue the hostages, and Jordan believes that Neil's refusal to rescue the hostages by force makes Neil unfit to be President.
Regis, Chance, and Regis's partner and friend Stengel (Dennis Miller) enter the White House tunnels while Jordan still tries using fabricated evidence to blackmail Neil into resigning as President. In the tunnels, the sniper who killed Spikings for Jordan pursues them and wounds Stengel, but Chance manages to kill him. Pursued by the Secret Service, Regis just barely manages to get in contact with the President and present him with the evidence of Jordan's conspiracy. Jordan attempts to shoot the President, only for his shot to be intercepted a handcuffed Chance. Jordan is then killed by the Secret Service.
Chance and Stengel are brought to a hospital, where they recover from their injuries. In gratitude for his rescue, the President promises Regis to look into the commission who bought Regis's building.

Producer Arnold Kopelson was attracted by the Murder at 1600 for considering that "lately, the White House has been vulnerable to a surprisingly wide variety of assaults," and along with producer Arnon Milchan offered the script to director Dwight H. Little, who accepted as despite his action film experience he never did a suspense "and political thrillers are probably my favorite movie genre; I love those seminal conspiracy movies of the '70s." The filmmakers then invited Wesley Snipes considering him to have the physicality, intelligence and humor required for Harlan Regis, and Snipes accepted for the depth of the character and "the opportunity to do a suspense role, which is usually reserved for more mature actors." Diane Lane was attracted by the role of Agent Chance because "she stands by her personal code," and Lane had the markswoman experience required for the role.[1]
Although filming had scenes in Washington, D.C., primary locations were in Toronto, Canada and nearby locations in Ontario. As Absolute Power was occupying the Oval Office set built for Dave, a new Oval Office was built in the Cinespace studios in Kleinburg. The film crew made many visits to the White House for reference in making what production designer Nelson Coates described as "the most architecturally accurate" recreation of the room. The Oval Office still stands at the studio, and has been used in productions such as Dick and The Sentinel.[2][3]
Murder at 1600 premiered in Los Angeles, California on April 14, 1997.
Box office[edit]
The film was well received at the box office. It opened at No. 3 with $7,962,268 in its opening weekend and went on to make a total of $25,804,707 in the US.
Murder at 1600 received generally poor reviews from critics, as it holds a 35% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

Menomonee Falls - Bonnie Lemmer, a real estate agent with Shorewest Realtors, is running for seat five on the Menomonee Falls Village Board.
Before working as a real estate agent, Lemmer worked as an office manager for Fortune 500 companies and small businesses for 25 years. She has served on the boards of the Muscular Dystrophy Association, Make-A-Wish Foundation as its first executive director, and the Council on Developmental Disabilities for the state of Wisconsin.
"My experience working with these nonprofit and government boards will enable me to easily transition onto the Menomonee Falls board of trustees," Lemmer said.
As a 20-year resident of Menomonee Falls and a captain for the neighborhood block watch, she said she is running to be an even more direct participant in shaping the village's future.
"I will work to keep taxes low while maintaining the appropriate level of needed services and apply due diligence when considering the development of TIF (tax-incremental financing) districts and/or issuing bonds for new development or property acquisitions," Lemmer said. "It is imperative that future projects make positive contributions to the village and its residents. I will bring solid ethical standards to the position, putting any self-interest aside."
She said she will bring a new perspective with fresh ideas and common sense values to the board.
"I love Menomonee Falls and the quality of life it provides and want to contribute to its continued success," she said.

- A very hot, often 7x – 8x hotter on the scoville scale than jalapenos!
- This is a Perennial pepper variety which means that if the soil doesn't freeze hard in your area, you'll most likely be able to grow these peppers all year round.
- Easy to grow from seeds.
- Can be used in place of any hot peppers in many culinary recipes.
- The commercial hot sauce brand Cholula lists bird peppers as one of its ingredients.
- Thomas Jefferson first obtained seed of the Bird Pepper in 1812 from Captain Samuel Brown, who was stationed in San Antonio, Texas. Jefferson recorded planting this pepper in pots and in the kitchen garden in 1814. [source] - Day to Maturity | 100+ days
The seeds we offer here at SeedsNow.com aren't like varieties you'd typically find at local shopping centers. All the seeds sold on this website are pure heirloom non-hybridized varieties that are free
from genetic engineering. These open-pollinated varieties are the only seeds that you can safely save after each harvest and preserve for many generations to follow. [ENTER SEED SHOP]

Why I went to Fargo in February… and why I loved it
In the years since I left the cold, cold north — we moved out of Iowa back in 2003 — I've managed to throw out most of my warm clothes. No sweaters. No hats or heavy jackets. My snow boots dry-rotted years ago.
For the past 12 years, I've enjoyed living in relatively balmy Virginia Beach, Orange County and, now, South Texas. And, to give me some credit, I agreed to this teaching + consulting trip to Fargo, N.D., last fall, when I was toasty warm in Southern California. I just assumed I'd be able to deal with whatever mother nature threw at me.
So it was with a bit of alarm that I watched the extended forecast roll in the week before I left.
That showed a full week below freezing and lows, four out of six nights, below zero. What it doesn't show is the wind chill. And it's very windy in Fargo, this time of year. This screen snapshot from my phone the day I departed showed a wind chill factor of minus 40.
Minus 40. Wow.
In fact, it was closer to minus 30 when I arrived last Sunday night. Obviously, I survived.
I took my thickest coat — which really isn't all that thick — my one pair of gloves and the wonderful scarf that was a gift from my friends in South Africa. I left my usual Hawaiian-themed shirts at home and took the warmest clothes I could find in my closet. I have a limited number of long-sleeved shirts. I took all but two with me.
The hospitality I received from my new friends at the Forum of Fargo/Moorehead was just wonderful. Editor Matt Von Pinnon met me at the airport with two things: A sign, made by his daughter…
…and a knit stocking cap. Which I didn't actually use all week long. But Matt was afraid I'd hurt my ears walking around in the cold.
I arrived at my hotel — the Radisson, in downtown Fargo — just early enough to glimpse the area in the fading sunlight.
It looked cold outside and it was. My hotel was, in fact, the tallest building in town. This is what it looked like, later in the week.
I was on the sixth floor and I was never really uncomfortable at any time… as long as I was inside. The folks there know that, when you walk in, you'll be awfully chilly. So they have this fire-burning heater set in the wall by the front door.
I'd walk downstairs to find folks crowded around that thing, trying to thaw out their fingers.
Bright and early Monday, I had breakfast in the in-house restaurant on the second floor of the Radisson, from which I had a clear view of the Forum Communications building.
That shows how far I had to walk in the frigid air every morning: Exactly one block. It took me maybe a minute.
Every day at 9 a.m. or so, I'd walk in the front door…
…receive a friendly greeting from both the receptionist and from this bronze kid hawking newspapers…
…and ride up the elevator to the newsroom, where they hold the morning news huddle every day at 9:15.
Interestingly, they begin every morning huddle with a trivia quiz by Jack Zaleski, the editorial page editor sitting here to the right of Matt.
Jack would read off five questions. Folks would write down their guesses on the back of their daily budgets and then compare their answers to Jack's answers after the meeting.
I managed to hit five out of five on Tuesday. Which kind of made up for my dismal performances on the other days.
On Monday, we hooked up my laptop to the brand-new oversized newsroom flatscreen — They used my visit as an excuse to upgrade, I was told — and I gave an updated version of my Graphics for Word People talk and a presentation on basic charting.
One of the things that delighted me about this trip was how quickly and how enthusiastically the staff of the Forum picked up on the lessons I bought them. We spent some time Monday looking at spectacular pages built by papers around the world, blowing most of the stories off page one — when the news merited it, of course.
That very afternoon, we discussed how to present the story about a hotly contested runoff election. Was a boxing metaphor appropriate? Yes it was. So I fished out of my hard drive a few Chris Morris illustrations from a while back and showed them to the Forum's super-terrific artist, Troy Becker.
Troy put his own spin on the idea and turned Tuesday's front page into an entire boxing poster.
Holy cow. It happened so fast that it really caught me off guard. That suggested these folks were really, really hungry for inspiration.
We also spent a lot of time talking about alternative approaches and things like quick-and-easy "big numbers" graphics. The Forum's design director, Jason Miller…
decided this was the way to go for Wednesday's paper. And darned if he didn't knock it out of the park.
He even sampled the red color out of the photo, to help the centerpiece hold together.
Later in the week, we talked about skyboxes. Most newspapers build boring, ordinary skyboxes that aren't very effective at catching anyone's eye. Which, of course, defeats the purpose of a skybox in the first place. We talked about how skyboxes need to be selected more wisely, cropped better, constructed more effectively and written in a more snappy manner.
And occasionally, maybe — just maybe — a skybox might interact with the paper's nameplate. We looked at a lot of examples of cool, eyecatching skyboxes. Everyone seemed to appreciate the session.
So, for Thursday's paper, Troy illustrated the front of the daily features section…
…and they decided they wanted to put this in the skybox. Troy's artwork converted nicely for a fun piece of art. But that day, the staff went a step further when Troy suggested this catchy headline:
So by midweek, I was completely knocked out by what the Forum staff was doing with the topics were were covering each day.
On Wednesday, however, we changed everything up. Forum Communications owns dozens of other papers around the region, including maybe 12 or 15 dailies. The ownership had asked all the other dailies if they wanted to attend a few sessions. I'm told they expected maybe a handful of additional people to show up. Instead, we had 45 or 50 responses.
This was too many people to see my presentations on the new widescreen and it was too many people to stuff into the largest conference room in the building. So for the first time in my life, I got to play Broadway.
In order to get there from the hotel, I had to walk a block in the opposite direction from the newspaper, turn left and then walk another block. The meeting place was then directly across the street.
We met in a little building that held a coffee shop, an art studio and a marketing firm. In the back of the building was a cute little venue called Studio 222. The operator, Spider Johnk rents it out for speeches, concerts and whatnot.
In fact, I had to giggle when I saw myself listed on their calendar.
Every Friday night, Spider's Studio 222 hosts a live jazz show. So the place had a basement jazz club kind of feel to it, including vintage advertising-type art.
Naturally, I had to introduce myself to the gorgeous lady on the wall.
Find Studio 222′s web site here and its Facebook page here.
Folks from all over the chain came to see my presentations. On a few occasions, folks from the Forum staff came over too, packing the place pretty tightly.
Over the course of Wednesday and Thursday, I gave eight presentations there at Studio 222. I spoke on the aforementioned Skybox design and proactivity for visual journalists. I spoke on breaking news visuals and showed sketches from the old days when I covered plane crashes and shooting sprees.
I spoke on alternative story forms and techniques for scrounging when centerpiece art is scarce. And, of course, I gave my old Art of Being Brilliant motivational talk. I hadn't done that one in a while.
And I showed folks some material I've not shown in a long, long time. I was especially delighted with this picture — one of the best ever taken of me teaching.
One staffer tweeted this really awesome quote — one so awesome I don't even remember saying it.
Turns out, I was talking about the complicated blends in the water in that battleship graphic from 1995. The folks at Adobe told me the water was clearly drawn in photoshop and then placed as an eps image. But no, it was all vector blends. I don't think they believed me until we sent them a copy of the graphic on a syquest disc.
The folks in Fargo me me feel like such a rock star. I just hope I made last week's shows worth their time.
And, on occasion, I learned something new myself. I knew it was possible to create artwork on an iPad, but I hadn't seen anyone actually do it until Friday, when Troy Becker showed me his cartoon work.
Troy creates two cartoons a week for the Forum's sports section. He uses his iPad, a stylus and an application called Sketches.
The pro edition of Sketches costs $4.99. Plus, you could pay an additional $1.99 for "more tools." And then $1.99 for a layers version. And then $1.99 for a version enabled for use with a stylus.
So the outlay would could be as much as eleven bucks, depending on how you need to configure your app. But you get so much function for this. Note the various pen tools on the left side of Troy's screen.
This photo looks pretty rough, but the actual artwork on Troy's Retina screen was perfect.
Troy then uses the various pens and whatnot to trace directly over his pencil sketch. A wide variety of textures and effects are literally at his fingertips.
Once the drawing is done, he fills in the image with, y'know, 50 shades of grey. Or maybe just three or four shades of grey.
He moves the result over to his computer, where he adds the text…
…which, I might add, is made from his own handwriting.
Very cool.
So as I was wrapping up and saying my goodbyes Friday afternoon, I found this little gem on Twitter.
Not only did they decide to put Leonard Nimoy in the Skybox for Saturday's paper, they had Spock's Vulcan salute take the place of the "u" in Forum. I couldn't get over how well this fulfilled the challenges I laid out for them in Wednesday's session on skyboxes.
Jason told me that he designed the thing but then turned it over to designer Alicia Strnad – a comics and sci-fi fan — to write the actual text.
Alicia came up with that particular quote from Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan.
I was so thrilled. What a great week it had been. In addition, Jason built a huge page-one bar chart for Saturday's page one and another one for Sunday's metro front.
I got up mighty early Saturday and took the shuttle to the airport long before dawn. The sun came up as we were sitting on the tarmac, waiting for our plane to be de-iced.
The window was too fogged to see it clearly. But Saturday's dawn was certainly colorful enough.
I flew to O'Hare and then to Austin, retrieved my car and then drove the two hours home to Victoria. Where I was delighted to discover that a) My cats were just fine, b) My daughter didn't host a party in my absence, and c) My own paper, the Victoria Advocate, looked pretty good during my absence.
So it was a wonderful week in Fargo. Just fantastic.

Cramer's 'Mad Money' Recap: Europe's Problems Difficult but Can Be Solved
Search Jim Cramer's "Mad Money" trading recommendations using our exclusive "Mad Money" Stock Screener.
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- The situation in Europe may be difficult but that doesn't mean it can't be solved, Jim Cramer told "Mad Money" viewers Tuesday. Cramer said that while the odds of a favorable resolution in Europe are about even, the markets could see a 10% pop if the best-case scenario does happen.
But what is the best-case scenario? Europeans need to create the equivalent of the U.S.'s Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, an organization that can insure all European banks, in euros, so citizens don't have to flee their home country's banks for what they perceive as safer investments.
Cramer said with this one simple move, a "virtuous circle" would be created. The increased certainty in Europe would likely spur the Chinese to offer stimulus for their country, he said, which would, in turn, boost the confidence of international companies to invest and expand. From there, hiring would increase, the pressure would be off the U.S. banks and earnings would no longer be in danger. Without such a deal, however, Cramer expects to see a wave of earnings pre-announcements and cuts in the second half of the year. He said the Germans, who appear to be holding all of the cards in this game of international poker, don't seem to think it's in their best interest to prop up the poorer European countries, but Cramer hoped that attitude will change. If the best-case scenario happens, he continued, investors should look to buy international growth stocks, names like Starbucks (SBUX) and McDonald's (MCD). He would also look at companies like Ralph Lauren (RL) and the automakers such as Ford (F). But until the best-case scenario happens, Cramer cautioned, investors need to "stay the course" and remain defensive.'Naive' Investors, Shameful Sellers
With shares of Facebook (FB) inking a fresh 52-week low Tuesday, Cramer took a moment to sound off against comments made by Morgan Stanley (MS) CEO James Gorman, who said investors were "naive" to think putting money into Facebook's initial public offering would net them quick profits. Cramer said it's clear the Wall Street machine doesn't care about the individual investor, even though individuals are the lifeblood of the markets. He called the execution of the Facebook IPO a disgrace, saying that either the Facebook executives got greedy or those at Morgan Stanley were just plain stupid in their pricing of the deal.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

View our feature on Nora Roberts's The Bridal Quartet.
New Love takes the cake in the third novel in Nora Roberts's new Bride Quartet-in a stunning French flap editionWedding baker Laurel McBane is surrounded by romance working at Vows wedding planning company with her best friends Parker, Emma, and Mac. But she's too low-key to appreciate all the luxuries that their clients seem to long for. What she does appreciate is a strong, intelligent man, a man just like Parker's older brother Delaney, on whom she's had a mega-crush since childhood.
But some infatuations last longer than others, and Laurel is convinced that the Ivy League lawyer is still out of her reach. Plus, Del is too protective of Laurel to ever cross the line with her-or so she thinks.

A virtual high school in Georgia is now selling its online Spanish courses, which can be used to earn credit by high schoolers doing credit recovery or by others who want to learn a foreign language. James Madison High School is offering Spanish I, II, and III. Each course costs $275 and includes printed and digital textbooks, instructor support, tutoring, and access to an online student community.
The school uses the Sakai learning management system to provide access to class work, which in the case of the language classes also includes audio and video instruction.
"There are many advantages to taking online Spanish language high school courses," said Leslie Gargiulo, the high school's chief academic officer. "Students can make up required credits without attending summer school, enhance their education while managing family or work obligations, even take classes that might not be offered at their primary high school."
The high school offers diploma programs that are regionally accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Council on Accreditation and School Improvement. It's affiliated with an online for-profit institution, Ashworth College, also in Georgia.

Nominating Constructive Critique
This has the makings of an interesting image. The idea of the reflections is good. However, the top left hand side of the image is overexposed. Since the strongest reflections are in the windows on the rhs I would be inclined to crop the tree branches out thus removing the overexposed part of the image. I would also crop the car out at the bottom as IMHO it is a bit distacting and draws the eye away from the terrific reflections in the main windows. In my mod I have cropped as suggested and increased saturation a little. I have also adjusted highlight, midtone and shadow to make the reflections more prominent.

Will i get a good job even i do animation from a not so good college?
A good college is always helpful in making good career in any field same is with animation, but being a creative sector it is mainly up to student who is doing this course. we know there are two types of animation eg 2D and 3d.
in 3D animation lots of software based knowledge is needed so it is very important to learn it from a very good college or institute, but 2d animation is majorly based on sketching so if someone is having very good talent in drawing figures (human or animal) he can directly approach any film making studio after learning basic 2d animation software like Flash from a training college or institute...

I hope this is the right place to post this.
Years ago. When I was about to release my first product. (Ebook) I strugled at creating sales letter. I had no idea how to make profitable one. And I had not enough money to hire a copy writer.
Then I found this awesome Ebook: "Psychology Of Selling".
It taught me about everything I needed to know about sales letters. When I bought the Ebook. I got MR rights to it.
If you have problems creating a sales letter. Don't hire copy writer just yet. Read this first. It is free for Nb members.

Thanks a lot!
Will download it as fast as possible when I'm back!

Also with the attachments, we require visitors to signup before downloading
You are very welcome.
I have few more MR rights ebooks. All about internet marketing. I will post them later.
And everyone. Don't forget to look at the bottom right corner of my first post

Sorry for double post. But I want everyone to pay attention to this post.
I was exploring my archive of ebooks, and found another ebook about Sales Letters. There is a chance it covers prety much same things as the ebook on the first post. But it may have something new in it.
elbandelero (9 January, 2009)
Just downloaded both PDF's will be reading them over tonight!
Thanks a lot
Downloaded them
My archive is not the most organized one. It is just one folder with thousands of articles, ebooks, scripts and other stuff. I have MR Rights to most of them.
I just found two more ebooks about making a Sales Letter. These two ebooks are both pretty long. So, you definately learn something new.
Ps. I post more of these if I find any.

Felix trudged through Blue Town, towards the Path of Insanity and Fanaticism. He had awoken late that morning and suffered the company of one of the many men of Radiata on his way to the Vareth Magic Institute. The books he had sought had already been checked out of the library. And he was sure some sorry excuse for a human being was stealing his underclothes again.
He passed through Echidna Gate and out onto the bridge. Felix winced as the brilliant evening sun shone in his eyes, gripping his staff tightly and squinting until his eyes adjusted. There was no one here, save a treant on the path by the far end of the bridge. A quick look back suggested also that he had not been followed.
He watched the treant as he approached. It hadn't seen him. It was looking somewhere off in the chasm that surrounded the city. As long as its attention remained elsewhere, Felix had no need to defend himself against the creature. He lay his staff against the upraised brick railing, then set his hands upon it, too. He searched the chasm for whatever the treant might have seena bird, maybebut he saw nothing. He turned his gaze instead to the horizon. Reds and golds crept into the blue of the sky, carried along the lining of the clouds.
"Excuse me, sir, do you mind if I look at your staff?"
Felix whipped about, staggering away from whatever had joined him. He had not heard footsteps approaching. In his haste, he had gone too far back and doubled onto the edge. He was slipping fast. His staff clattered on the bridge as a pair of hands shot out and grabbed hold of him.
"I am so sorry!" the voice exclaimed. "I didn't mean to startle you."
Felix had caught barely a glimpse of the other figure as he crashed against them, both of them falling upon the sanctity of the bridge. He shoved himself onto his knees, and stared wide-eyed at the person beneath him.
"Are you all right?"
She was a light elf. As light elves did in text books, she had a small frame and fair skin, with vine-like hair neatly pulled back behind her head, and a single pair of glowing wings. Her expression, however, seemed much softer towards him than he would expect of a light elf.
And for once in all of Tottaus, this light elf was identifying him for the man he was. He opened his mouth to reply, but found himself without words. While he knelt in silence, she floated back to her feet and bent over again to recover his staff for him.
Felix's tongue flicked to wet his lips. He felt reluctant to stand after having nearly fallen the bridge, but her hand was extended to him and it would seem rude not to take it. He made a point of stepping nearer to the center of the bridge as he took her hand, and studied her more thoroughly. Not that he needed towith a memory as clear as his, he would never forget herbut the tangibility of reality was sharper than his mind's eye and he would drink in that for as long as he was able.
She held the staff against his chest, and reflexively he closed his arms around it. "Thank you," he said. He averted his gaze. "I'm all right."
"I've always heard humans look like orcs the color of dried grass," she said, and in the corner of his eyes he could see her smile. "I knew it couldn't be true, but I never expected to meet one so fair."
Felix's lips pursed, but he was at a loss for how to respondto laugh at the pitiful, if exaggerated, reality, or... well, continue to stand and stare. Such words meant nothing from the mouths of louts who couldn't keep their hands to themselves, but there was a sort of sincerity from someone who, by all accounts, should loathe the very sight of a human. It wasn't until she looked away, towards the treant by the far end of the bridge, that he found his voice again. "What about elves? Are they all like you?"
"Like me?" she asked, turning back to him with a frown. "What do you mean?"
He looked up to meet her gaze, the action every bit involuntary, as he replied, "Beautiful."
She smiled anew. When it hit what, exactly, had come out of his mouth, he gripped tightly at his staff and turned his attention back out to the sunset. He could swear then that his face reflected the red of the sky.
"Are you sure you're all right?" she asked. "You look like you have a fever."
The elf was reaching to touch her palm to his forehead, and he quickly stepped out of range. "Fine," he insisted. "I'm fine."
She stood back, or floated back, folding her hands neatly together before her. "What's your name?"
"I'm Few."
He turned his back to her entirely, trying his best to come to grips with himself. "I thought light elves hated humans," he said. "What brings you all the way to Radiata?"
"Not all of us hate humans," she replied.
He gasped as she reappeared in front of him, making hardly a sound as she fluttered about on those wings.
"I came to study the treants," she replied. "The ones around the Tria region are different from those in the Nowem region. And the farther from the Nowem region I search, the more reliable the data will be."
That sounded reasonable. "So you're a scholar, too?" he asked.
"Too? Are you?"
Felix nodded. His smile felt lopsided, too large for his own delicate features, and he wrestled to suppress it. The harder he tried, the broader it stretched. At least it was genuine.
"We should share our studies," Few replied. "Just think of the things we, a light elf and a human, could discover together!"
"I wonder if they would mind if you visited the magic school," Felix mused.
"It'll have to wait for another day," Few sighed. She looked out across the sky, far off towards the Elf region. "I told Alan I would be back by sun down. I'll be late already."
The smile settled. He watched her float a little higher, hesitating, waiting for a goodbye to permit her to leave. He followed her gaze out into the open sky. She was almost two feet off the ground when his attention returned to her.
"I'll come out and watch for you here," he said. "Evenings, around sunset."
"All right." She was over the edge of the bridge now, twisting as if to turn her back to himbut still waiting for him to look away first.
He stepped closer to the edge again, his near fall forgotten. "I really would like to see you again," he insisted. "Promise you'll come back."
Few smiled. "I promise."

There are plenty of plausible reasons to criticise Audiosurf. Unfortunately I'm almost entirely oblivious to them, as it's doing such a wonderful job of fulfilling a very important purpose in my life – giving me a reason to do nothing other than listen to music while still feeling like I'm achieving something. I suspect I'd still be spending too long staring vacantly at iTunes visualisations if I didn't own Audiosurf. It's made me a better man.
Part of its charm is the never-know-what-you're-gonna-get-next element. You'll pick a song with a fair idea of whether it's suitable, but often enough it'll surprise- presenting a track that's more elegantly undulated than expected, or instead a jerky, sick-making mess (I'd strongly advise against trying The Specials). Evan Merz, though, has gone beyond the guesstimation the rest of us use, paintstakingly creating midi music designed to specifically provoke certain track shapes and effects in the game.

Obama tells Russia that election will bring 'flexibility' on missile defense
The president's comments were caught accidentally by a microphone left on during a private conversation with Russian leader Dmitry Medvedev.
Pablo Martinez Monsivais/AP
President Barack Obama told Russia's leader Monday that he would have more flexibility after the November election to deal with the contentious issue of missile defense, a candid assessment of political reality that was picked up by a microphone without either leader apparently knowing.
Obama's Republican opponents pounced on the comment, saying the president has a hidden agenda that could include concessions to the Russians if he is re-elected this fall.
"This is my last election," Obama is heard telling outgoing Russian President Dmitry Medvedev. "After my election, I have more flexibility."
Medvedev replied in English, according to ABC News: "I understand. I will transmit this information to Vladimir," an apparent reference to incoming President Vladmir Putin.
Obama and Medvedev did not intend for their comments, made during a meeting in Seoul, South Korea, to be made public.
QUIZ: How much do you know about Russia?
Once they were, the White House said Obama's words reflected the reality that domestic political concerns in both the U.S. and Russia this year would make it difficult to fully address their long-standing differences over the contentious issue of missile defense. Obama, should he win re-election, would not have to face voters again.
