After a long night of drinking with a woman. You take her home to have sex and pass out while on top of her.
Dude I this chick home last night after we had a good time at the bar. Problem was, I drunk to much and ended up giving her a T Kurts special instead of Mr. Toads wild ride.

Gallery: Palm Springs' Rosa Gardens Affordable Housing Achieves LEED Go...
The team also managed to recycle more than 75% of the project's construction materials - and many of the building materials themselves are recycled to begin with.
Rosa Gardens was constructed on an urban infill lot and it offers 57 units of 2 or 3 bedroom apartments. The project also includes a common laundry room, a community room, a pool, bike racks, a basketball court, a recycling area, and other family amenities. Solar passive design was the driving force behind Brooks + Scarpa's vision – they used this green building strategy to minimize solar heat gain and energy use. Building orientation, shaping, shading, glazing, and natural ventilation were all were taken into consideration during the design phase. In total, the strategies amounted to a 30% reduction in energy use compared to California's Title 24 standards.
The team also managed to recycle more than 75% of the project's construction materials – and many of the building materials themselves are recycled to begin with. The insulation is made from recycled newspapers, the carpet has a high recycled content, and the exterior cladding was locally fabricated from aluminum cans. The inside of each apartment features low-flow fixtures, natural linoleum flooring and CFL lighting. The project will soon install a solar thermal heating system that will provide domestic hot water and heat the pool.

Thanks for your input. It is definitely a balance between a cost/benefit analysis, local availability, maintenance of the material and life cycle. Rosa Gardens uses common materials such as stucco, concrete block and metal panels and utilizes recycled-content materials only where it makes sense, certainly not just for the green rating at the exclusion of other issues. Palm Springs sits in the Coachella Valley, which is part of the 13th largest metropolitan area in the United States, the Inland Empire, so it is actually closer than one might think to things like building materials and supplies. More important than materials, though, at this location, is water usage and building orientation. Southern California became what it is today because the water came from somewhere else and this project conserves water through smart landscaping and very efficient fixtures. Orienting the building properly, natural cross ventilation, providing shade from the desert sun and reflecting heat from the roof (all low cost ideas), does more for the energy efficiency of this building than adding an entire solar panel array. The long-term maintenance and durability of materials is just as important, if not more, than those that are locally sourced. A large part of the sustainability of a building comes from it's design, the 'fundamentals' for us, and that is always step 1!'

in the middle of a desert, i don't see a way to get recycled construction materials in a radius of less than 50-100Km. the embodied energy of recycled content increases ten folds in such cases. its a waste if we are recycling and transporting it long distances to achieve ratings. this is an anti-thesis of the word "sustainable". architects like hassan fathy were pioneers of such building typologies. using local materials should be the starting point, at least i can see stone and sand available from the images! its good to grab a green rating but one should consider the fundamentals first.

Monday, March 16, 2009
I don't really remember what was done on what days so rather than doing a day by day diary style account of the proceedings, i'm gonna divide everything into three main categories .....
- Derek Mears
As pretty much everyone else who has ever met him has raved, this dude is probably the nicest guy i've ever had the pleasure of meeting. You can tell that he is so honored and happy that he got to play Jason and he's so appreciative that anyone would want to meet him. Coolest guy ever. He talked a bit about a sequel and said that a script has been written but it hasn't been greenlit and he'd love to slap the mask on again for it. I don't think he's got anything to worry about in that department as i'm pretty sure we'll be seeing a lot more Mears under that mask in the years to come. We had him sign our 19" NECA Jason figure (dual heads), which is apparently pretty rare as he said it was only one of two that was brought to the table that day. Jen told him to sign "To J + J Boots" (Johnny and Jennie Boots, our respective nicknames) on it and he thought she said "Boobs", which led to some hilarity. If you ever see Derek Mears at a convention, hop on his line first thing because he's a true pleasure to meet. And make sure you take a picture with him so you can get a good idea of just how enormous the man is. He's like a big bald teddy bear!
- Walter Phelan
Although he's appeared in many things, Phelan is probably best known for portraying Dr. Satan in House of 1000 Corpses and that badass deleted scene from Devil's Rejects. I've been trying to stay away from getting any 8x10's signed as there's always much cooler things to get signed and thankfully Walt had the Dr. Satan t-shirts available so I picked one of those up and had him Hancock that. Much like Bill Moseley, it's hard to imagine that such a nice little old man can be transformed into such a badass evil looking villain!
- Steve Dash / Richard Brooker
Two Jason's in one picture! Beat that! Dash (Happy Birthday!) played Jason in Part 2 (don't let that Gillete herb tell ya otherwise) and Brooker played him in Part 3. I've already met Brook in the past and have even hung out with him in the hotel lobby but I had never seen Dash at a convention before. I didn't have much money left as this was kinda late in the weekend so I opted instead of signatures to just get a picture with the two. Here's a little convention secret for ya ; if you just wanna meet someone, ask them for a picture. Most times they won't charge you and you'll get to meet and chat with them for a bit. There's nothin like being the meat in a Jason sandwich!
- Don Coscarelli
Another incredibly nice guy. I'm a huge fan of Coscarelli's (director of Phantasm / Bubba Ho-Tep) and I told him that the latter was the greatest film of all time, which was no suck up or lie. I had him sign my NECA Cult Classic's Sebastian Haff figure (which Jen picked up for me in the merch area) and spent a good couple minutes chatting up Bubba Nosferatu with him, mostly about the lack of Bruce Campbell in it. He said they did everything they could to get Bruce back but he apparently wanted to continue working on his own projects, which really makes no sense. The greatest role and greatest movie Campbell has ever been in and he doesn't want to return for a sequel? I made mention that it's not like Campbell's "own" movies (My Name is Bruce) of late have been that great and Coscarelli didn't disagree with that point. He's clearly heartbroken over the loss of Bruce and said he hoped that fans like myself would give the movie a chance with Ron Perlman in the lead role. I don't think the movie will be the same without Bruce, but I have all the faith in the world in Coscarelli and I think Perlman will do a fine job. It will just be a much different movie than it could have been. Just like Mears, it was a total pleasure to meet this guy. Don't let my lack of smile fool you!
- Stu Charno
Ah, I have saved the best for last! You may not recognize him, but Stu played Ted in Friday Part 2, the guy who stayed out drinking all night and survived the wrath of Jason. Let me give you a brief rundown of our encounters in the Stuniverse. That above picture was taken on Friday. I was standing a few feet from Stu's table pointing him out to Jen and telling her who he was and he waved to us and told us to come over to his table where he proceeded to say something to the effect of "look what happened to me". I guess he thought we were pointing and staring and poking fun at the way he looked or something. I assure you we were not! We chatted a bit with him, he was incredibly nice and interesting, Jen took that picture with him, and we moved on. For the next 24 hours, Jen couldn't stop talking about him and for some reason had a desire to grab him a beer and bring it down to him, which I laughed off. Who the hell would drink a beer brought down by two convention weirdos! Cut to Saturday. We again approach Stu's table and Jen tells him he was her favorite person she met at the convention all weekend and I decided to take a picture with him this time around .....
So Jen mentions to him how she wanted to buy him a beer and Stu lit up and said he would love that, essentially saying go grab a Blue Moon (with an orange) for me from the bar and you two can come sit behind my table for the remainder of the day and hang out with me! Naturally, we depart to the bar, grab three Blue Moon's, and head back to the signing room. And who's coming towards the bar as we leave but Stu Charno looking for us and wondering if we ditched him (long wait at the bar)! We upheld our end of the bargain and Stu upheld his. He lets us both sit behind the table with him and hang out for the next hour left of signing time, which was no doubt the highlight of our weekends. It was pretty surreal being on the other side of the table and shooting the shit and drinking with Stu fucking Charno (who i've always loved) for a good hour. Two beers later the clock strikes six and we tell Stu we're gonna depart, to which he seems even a tad bit bummed out! He tells us that if we ever come to California, hit him up, and gives us his business card with his home and cell phone number! In retrospect, I don't know if he just used us for some free beers or what but either way ya look at it was an incredibly awesome experience for the both of us. STU CHARNO YOU ROCK!
- Other Guests
I unfortunately did not get the chance to meet Alice Cooper, which I figured would be the case. In order to meet the biggest star at any of these conventions, you pretty much have to blow a whole day waiting on line in order to do so. I'm not really down with that as it's kinda a waste of time, so I never even caught a glimpse of The Coop. Someone how parents (who love these things) managed to get into the Q & A with him and they had nothing but good things to say about him. I was hoping to at least catch a glimpse of him at some point, but it was not to be.
I was surprised at how long the line at all times was for Fairuza Balk (The Craft / American History X). I didn't think she'd be a big draw, especially at a horror convention, but I guess I was wrong. Jen and I were both shocked at how small and tiny she is in person.
And speaking of tiny ..... Rochelle Davis, that young girl from The Crow, is anything but these days. She's packed on quite a few pounds in the past couple years and that's all i'll say about that!
- The main things I usually go for at conventions are DVD's. This is the place to pick up bootleg copies of movies that you really can't get anywhere else. Most of my pick ups were either movies that are on VHS but aren't on DVD yet or flicks that are on Region 2 but not 1 yet. I snatched up Babysitter Wanted, Death Weekend, Isle of the Damned, Mum & Dad, The Mutilator, Torso, and Vampira : The Movie. Can't wait to delve into some of these as most of them i've been dying to check out for a long time now. Gotta love how selling bootleg DVD's is totally legal at horror conventions somehow!
- Also picked up a whole slew of action figures this time around ; the afformentioned Cult Classics Sebastian Haff, Cult Classics Jigsaw's (one in pig mask, one out of pig mask .... both for $10!), and Jen picked up the C.C Frank The Bunny as well as ET figures in and out of drag, both for 5 bucks, which she was quite pleased about.
- That shirt i'm wearing in all of the above pictures (which I still haven't taken off) is Fright Rags brand new Exorcist tee that I think they debuted at this convention along with a couple other new designs that aren't even on their site yet. As usual with them, this shirt is fucking awesome and is probably my favorite of theirs to date. I also picked up the Doc Satan shirt, which I mentioned above, and which is now hanging proudly on my wall.
I think that's about all in terms of merch .....
- Monster Mania is known for their panels, where they get together various related stars and have them do Q & A's for an hour. The only one I made it to was the Friday The 13th the victims one with folks like Amy Steel, John Furey, VC Dupree, John Otrin, Camilla & Carey Moore, Judie Aronson, and Robbi Morgan. We would've stayed for more but they made us wait nearly an hour for that one from the time it was supposed to start, so we were ready to get outta there and head to the bar after this one was over. On the way to said bar, we again ran into Stu Charno who was playing piano and who was supposed to be a part of the panel we just left. We asked him what the deal was and he seemed to have no idea that he was supposed to be there and shrugged it off and continued tickling the ivorys. I'm still not sure what's schtick with this guy and what's not, but he's definetly a blast to talk with.
- Actually I spoke too soon as we also made it later in the night to a Madman Pondo (hardcore wrestler) Q & A. That was mildly amusing but even being a wrestling fan I was kinda wondering what he was doing there.
- Checked out a couple songs from a late night performance from some of the guys from Alice Cooper's band. Did nothing for me and couldn't even hear what was being sung, so we jetted out of there fairly quickly.
And that about wraps up the Monster Mania 12 experience! A great time was had by all as always and Monster Mania continues to be the most well put together and well run horror convention of them all. The con rears its ugly head again this June and I hope to make it out there, although that's looking iffy being that it's in Connecticut this time around. But thankfully it returns to Jersey in August. Three in one year, ya can't beat that!

looks liek you hd a really great time. Unfortunately nothing like this ever happenens in Norway. They had a couple of "movie-tribute"-stuff a couple of years ago, but with mostly norwegian movies and actors.
I really wanted to go to the Saw-Mania event that you missed last year, but with a ticket price of $4000 just for the flight I skipped it.
Mears sounds like a super guy, maybe I should send him a letter and ask for an autograph. When Both James Earl Jones and Robert Englund replied on my letters, why should not Mr. Mears do the same. :-) I`ll give it a try.
I just recieved my NECA Texas Chainsaw Massacre : The Beginning Box Set which is just AWESOME... A bit expensive, but well worth It. - March 16, 2009 at 11:59 AM

I know Mears has a Myspace, maybe try contacting him on there. I'm sure he'd at least reply.

Hey! I just got back from Monster Mania myself!
Great show. You did all three days?
I was down there with a few friends. We did the whole weekend. Got a room right in the hotel. That whole deal.
Sucks you didn't get to meet Alice Cooper. It actually wasn't that bad to do so. I mean, I don't know how it was Saturday or Sunday, 'cause I met him Friday, but when I was around, the line didn't seem to get too bad. I don't know how early you get there on Friday, but I usually get there an hour or two before the con starts, and we grab our tickets n' go up to the room to relax for a bit, and usually if I'm there that early it's not too bad to meet anybody, even the big headliners. Usually, I manage to hit everyone I'm interested in all on Friday.
I was at the Madman Pondo thing too. The turnout for that was pretty small. I'm shocked I didn't notice ya there. Yeah, it is a li'l weird, I guess, considering it's a horror con. From what I gather, he just happens to live in the area, and he comes to every Monster Mania anyway, 'cause he himself is a huge horror fan, and so I guess everybody involved figured "hey, he's right here, he's famous (in his way), we got an hour to fill... let's use him!" And, hey, I guess, ya know, deathmatch wrestling and horror kinda, sorta tie in, what with all the blood and violence. ::shrugs::
I didn't end up going to that concert with the Michael Bruce Band (I think that's what they were called, I could be mistaken), 'cause I wasn't too interested. Sounds like I didn't miss much.
The Alice Cooper Q&A was alright (since you said you didn't get to go to it). It was really short though. I actually did not intend to go it at all. I was planning to go to the Phantasm reunion panel, which was supposed to start at 6. But when I got into the room, Alice Cooper walked onstage. I found out later that evidently what happened was that the whole show was running about an hour behind. So to save time, the Alice Cooper Q&A got cut down to a half-hour. It was over pretty quick. Same thing with the Phantasm Q&A, after which is when everything got back on track. Kind of a bummer. I'm a big Phantasm nut, so I would've liked to see more of that stuff.
I definitely agree with you, though, about Monster Mania being one of the best cons run in the area. Personally, I think it's the best one on the East Coast.
Anyway, cool chattin' ya up. TTYL.
Stay sick! - March 16, 2009 at 2:01 PM

Did you buy one of Stu's hand carved ocarinas? Hes always got the weirdest shit
- March 16, 2009 at 2:57 PM
- Johnny said...
Bearded - Yep, got there early Friday and left early Sunday. I wish I would've known you were there! I made a post a week or so ago asking if anyone that reads this blog was gonna be there, guess ya didn't see that. You gonna be going to the one in June?
Dragon - Ha, I don't believe he had any of those on hand but he did have some high koo (haiku) books on display that I managed to get him to read me passages from. In retrospect I kinda wish I had bought something from him! - March 16, 2009 at 3:14 PM
- Cins said...
Ah! JELOUSY!! It looks like you had a blast though! Unfortunately there aren't any major horror cons here on the west coast (Well in So Cal) that I know of.
I'd love to see pics of your action figure swag if you get a chance to get some! - March 16, 2009 at 5:58 PM

Took a few quick shots .....
Sebastian Haff Cult Classics signed "To John TCB! Don Coscarelli" :
Jigsaw Cult Classics :
Jigsaw in pig mask Cult Classics:
Gotta goo gone the price tags off of those two!
Frank The Bunny Cult Classics :
Jason Voorhees NECA 18" signed "J + J Boots Ki Ki Ki Ma Ma Ma! Derek Mears "Jason" "
I uploaded that one about 10 different times and had it rotated properly when I did so, but for some reason it always uploaded this way. So just tilt your head! - March 16, 2009 at 7:21 PM

Yeah, I completely missed your "anyone gonna be there?" blog.
I'm probably not gonna be at the one in June, simply because it's in Connecticut. I've gone to every Monster Mania since show number 5. But the last time they did three shows in one year, it fucked up my finances something awful. Two months between cons is just not enough downtime for me to regenerate my bank account. Besides that, the one in Connecticut looks a bit like a rehash of the last two Cherry Hill Monster Manias. I met Robert Englund and Heather Langenkamp at the last show, and I met Bruce Campbell at the one before that. I got everything I wanted signed from Robert and Heather the time I met them, and though I wouldn't mind meeting Bruce Campbell again, I'm not sure I really want to relive that. It was awesome meeting him, but the months leading up to the show were mental torture for me (the Evil Dead series is my favorite film series, and Army Of Darkness is my all-time favorite film period, and I've always been a huge fan of Bruce Campbell... I first discovered him when he guested on Xena and Hercules, that's when I got interested and that's how I first discovered the Evil Dead flicks to be honest), and then, I didn't have to wait in line for him very long (me n' my friends were amongst the first 20 people in line or so), but because I was so anxious (and nervous, which is also something I'm not really terribly interested in reliving) it felt like I was waiting for weeks. I just don't really want to summon up the energy to be that tense for that long again, ya know?
I'm such a dork. Lol.
Anyway, besides Bruce, Robert, and Heather, I'm not terribly interested in meeting anyone on the Connecticut guest list so far. Tuesday Knight would be cool, but it's far from essential for me. And I reeeeeally want to meet John Saxon, but he does a lot of cons, so I fully have faith in the belief that he'll end up at a Cherry Hill Monster Mania con sometime in the near future.
I think the main thing keeping me from Connecticut, along with how close it is, time-wise, to the one we just were at, is the fact that, ya know, I'm used to Cherry Hill. I'm used to that one hotel. I was there when it was a Hilton. I was there when it changed owners. And I'm there now that it's become a Crowne Plaza. I like the place. I'm accustomed to it. Cherry Hill, NJ, and the Crowne Plaza to me are synonymous with Monster Mania. The Monster Mania in Connecticut, to me, feels almost like a whole different convention. Like a Chiller Theatre or a Horrorhound Weekend or something. I really don't feel like journeying up to Connecticut. Cherry Hill is under 2 hours away from where I live. Connecticut is more than 3. It's stressful enough organizing the road trip to Jersey every show, especially with my friends.
So, no, I won't be going to the Monster Mania in June. But I will definitely be there at the one in August. Already, there's talk going 'round about how they want to organize an American Werewolf In London reunion, with John Landis and the rest, so that's cool. Unless someone really special gets added to the con in Connecticut, I don't really have any reason to pack myself up and drive up there, and I can't imagine anyone REALLY special they could add who wouldn't probably end up in Cherry Hill at some point in the future anyway.
Anyway, talk to ya later. Stay sick! - March 17, 2009 at 6:44 AM
- Johnny said...
Definetly hear ya on Cherry Hill being synonomous with Monster Mania. It just wouldn't feel the same in a different place. I think one of the main reasons I love Monster Mania is because of that hotel. It just feels like a second home to me.
Conventions were really never about the guests for me and even if there was no one at one I wanted to meet, i'd still go. I've even gone to a couple in the past where I never bothered to meet anyone. The only thing keeping me from the June one would be a monetary issue. But i'll most likely be seeing ya back in Cherry Hill in August! - March 17, 2009 at 9:16 AM

Fairuza Balk was a guest? That's cool, but I didn't know she'd be tiny in person. I know she owns a witchcraft store, so she's a little she-devil I tell ya!
Alice Cooper is incredible btw - March 18, 2009 at 12:00 PM

Sounds like you had a Blast Johnny!! [the whole Stu thing is pretty cool]
Also, I will be looking forward to your thoughts on Mum & Dad [I've heard great things about it and since I have yet to see it, I will value your opinion] - March 23, 2009 at 3:33 PM
Damn Johnny, you got yourself quite the hot girlfriend!
I'm still waiting for the day Portland gets itself a sweet ass horror convention and until that day happens I will be forever jealous. - March 29, 2009 at 2:29 PM

- How to Read a Study Record
There are no guidelines for appropriate nutritional management of weight loss or wasting in HIV infection. Some treatments may increase weight, but without improving muscle mass or quality of life. In this clinical trial AIDS patients with wasting are randomized to one of three nutritional strategies and studied over a 12-week period: 1) optimal oral nutrition with counseling and protein and calorie supplementation, and a placebo pill; 2) optimal oral nutrition with the oral androgen, oxandrolone at 20 mg daily; and 3) optimal oral nutrition with progressive resistance training (PRT). In all participants, dietary intervention is maximized by weekly personalized counseling to address individual issues and concerns. Two primary outcomes are assessed: thigh muscle mass and quality of life. Our findings can be used to develop guidelines for standards of nutritional care among AIDS patient with the wasting syndrome.

Images from Japan Meteorological Agency satellite MTSAT via Bureau of Meteorology.
IDY28000 Australian Government Bureau of Meteorology Bureau National Operations Centre Satellite Notes for the 1200UTC chart on 25 April 2015 Issued at 11:43 pm EST Saturday on 25 April 2015 A complex low pressure system over New South Wales is generating a middle level cloud band and scattered thunderstorms. To the west of this system areas of low cloud can be seen about the south coast of Western Australia and South Australia within a moist southerly onshore flow. An area of isolated thunderstorms just off the Kimberley coast is associated with a weak low pressure system. A broad area of low pressure over the Tasman Sea is producing an area of mainly middle level cloud and thunderstorms. The central and northeastern parts of the country are mainly cloud free under the influence of a ridge of high pressure.

Ferrera threw just 80 pitches in the win. He struck out one and walked two for the Blue Devils (3-1).
"Coming on the heels of allowing 29 runs and walking a ton of batters in our last two games, Charlie's performance was huge for us," Hamp coach Mark Baldwin said.

Pioneer Regional 6, Holyoke Catholic 2 — Jeff Laprade allowed just two earned runs over 62∕3 innings in the loss for the Gaels (0-2) at home.

Tommy Heavren had two hits, stole a pair of bases and scored a run. Tim Orzechowski (hit) also scored once.
Greenfield 9, Hampshire 3 — Cody Payson (double, two runs) and Christian Macutkiewcz (run) each went 2-for-3 but the Raiders (0-2) fell at home.
Holyoke 9, Belchertown 2 — The Orioles (0-3) committed nine errors and had only five hits as they suffered a blowout loss at the hands of the Purple Knights.
Belchertown trailed 6-0 after two innings of play.
Hampshire Regional 13, Mohawk Trail 0 (5) — Anna Dziok hit her second and third home runs of the season and had three RBIs as the Raiders (2-0, 2-0 Franklin) won at home in the mercy-rule shortened game.
Chelsea Moussette also went 2-for-3, while sophomore Lilly Rubeck smacked an RBI double for her first varsity hit.
Ashlee McGan tossed five shutout innings in the win. She struck out five, walked none and allowed two hits.
Smith Academy 3, Gateway Regional 1 — Lauren Grondin scattered six hits and struck out one as the Falcons (2-1) won in Hatfield.

Jamie Pease had two hits and an RBI for the Gators (0-1).

Turners Falls 8, Frontier Regional 5 — The Red Hawks (1-1, 1-1 Franklin) couldn't climb all the way out of an 8-0 hole in Montague.
Gwen Thayer had two hits in the loss, while Cassidy Stankowski and Caitlyn Sullivan had a hit and an RBI each.
Easthampton 3, McCann 2 — Trailing 2-0, Kelly Avard hit a two-run double, stole third and scored on a wild pitch as the Eagles plated three runs in the bottom of the third and held on for the win at home.
Avard made a diving catch at first to take away extra bases from McCann's leadoff hitter in the sixth inning.
Rachel Connell had three singles and scored a run, while Caelin Mottor struck out four for the Eagles (2-0).

The faculty and staff love these.
By Windsor
from Columbia, SC.
Faculty and staff are required to wear their ID cards and this is a great way to do that. I was able to customize them just for the school and the quality for the price is great.
Nice Lanyard, but sharper image helpful
By wendt
from Buffalo, NY
Overall Quality of the lanyard is very good an professional in appearance. We opted for the Smart Buy Full Color product to allow the printing of our logo on the lanyard. The fine detail of our logo did not come out as clear as we had hoped (or as well as it showed on the proof). Apart from that, we were very happy with the quality and service we received.
Service and delivery comments:
Very responsive and easy to work with supplier. Everything could be easily processed and approved online, which was very helpful. I would highly recommend the company for its service.

Guess i'll start thinking about updating my server. Hopefully get around to it before the end of the year ;p
If you read about the bugs, some of them are actually symptoms of the same bug while others are going to be marked not release-critical or already have fixes committed. There's nothing in the list that justifies holding up the release.
I would wait for the first point-release. It usually comes pretty quickly after the release.I think I will wait a while longer Debian Squeeze is still working fine for me but I am looking forward to upgrading soon!
Guess i'll start thinking about updating my server. Hopefully get around to it before the end of the year ;p
It has old software like Linux kernel 3.2 instead of 3.9.
And GNOME 3.4 not 3.8.
Meh, looks like they still haven't fixed random lockups on sandy/ivybridge (happens if you are using compositing doesn't matter if its kde or gnome) :/
Wonder if they managed to reach Debian's expected stability despite having such an old and outdated GNOME version.
BTW, since they focus so much on the new multiarch support, I wonder how their way is different to the way Fedora handles it?
Last edited by Kostas; 05-06-2013 at 10:12 PM.
It's totally different from RPM-style multilib.
Fedora (and virtually all RPM-based distributions that have adopted the /usr merge) split libraries into a /usr/lib and a user/lib64, where /usr/lib stores 32bit libraries and a handful of important 64bit libraries. /usr/lib/64 stores the remaining majority of the 64bit libraries.
Before multiarch on Debian was available the Debian way was to have a /lib and /lib32, where /lib stores the 64bit libraries and /lib32 stores the runtime libraries installed by the ia32-libs package (which only contains the most commonly used 32bit runtime libraries, and not the whole set of 32bit libraries).
With multiarch Debian now stores libraries in the /usr/lib/<architecture>/ format so you will get something like this in the root directory:
/usr/lib/ia32(or was it i586, can't remember)/
As you can see the very nice thing about Debian's style of multiarch is that there is only one /lib directory at the top level, with all the architectures being separated into their own folder at a lower level. The RPM way of having usr/lib and usr/lib64 was definitely superior to Debian's then non-standard /lib32 and /lib implementation, but the new way Debian handles multiarch in 7.0 is now definitely more elegant than the current /usr/lib and usr/lib64 implementation.
The question is whether the RPM-based distributions will adopt the Debian way of multiarch now. I hope they do, but not holding my breath.

OMGWTFBBQSAUCE ANOTHER EC *spasms
They're always after me O- type blood!
March and rainbows will never be the same again : /
I never got the "needs salt" joke.
I would love to see how this shirt would go over if a little kid wore it to school lol
This will definitely stay on the charts for a while, what with St. Patrick's day right around the corner! Congrats, Lucky!
oh...oh that's not right.
Well... That's morbidly cute
Marshmallow Powar! Activate!
Yay more EC's! What are the odds they pick something from the current derby? Slim I know.. gimmie Drakxxx double feature! lol
And I thought they smelled bad... on the outside!
Hah! Reminds me of my current entry!
St. Patrick's Day? Just as planned.
I'm pretty sure unicorns don't have opposable thumbs
It'd be interesting to see some bloody movies turn all their gruesome death scenes into rainbows and sparkles. I think the FCC would approve!
I knew it was a bad sign when the unicorn got a taste for rainbows.
I always thought the "luck of the Irish" was good luck. Guess not.
Bodacious! More EC's! How many EC shirts are there going to be? All week this week too?
Also, what do you think a leprechaun tastes like? I'd wager it's whisky and potato.
Umm, why is there not an apple in the leprechaun's mouth? This is not a true feast!
2 weeks of EC's?? Please please please???
Someone notify the next of kin, which I'm assuming would be Toucan Sam and Count Chocula.
this shirt is just wrong on so many levels
I always imagined unicorns as herbivores. This proves me wrong! They're actually "lepravores."
First sucker: streetwalkincheetah that's right. i believe i said once this is about the only unicorn shirt i'd wear. congrats, lucky. i'll be sportin' this year round, but most definitely on st. patty's day.
I'll never be able to eat Lucky Charms again...
Would the plural form of 'Pesagus' be 'Pegasii'?
Silly Unicorn, Leprechauns are for...eh, maybe not at that.
Does this mean another week of EC's? Please Please Please? Don't make me abandon all hope of proudly displaying the tranny peahen on my chest just yet!
Hey, another EC! Congrats Lucky!
who will wear this! BAD, BAD, BAD. I wouldnt even want to scare my inner-self like this.
chrisprender wrote:Someone notify the next of kin, which I'm assuming would be Toucan Sam and Count Chocula.
I don't get the shirts you post everyday please explain....
Omelets made great YES I wanted this shirt SO BAD. You have no idea how much I wanted it. AND NOW I GET IT <3 <3. THANK YOU WOOT! I even ordered mine with express shipping so I can wear it on Unofficial this coming Friday. Yay!
The shirt is missing a few of the charms. Hearts, stars n' horseshoes, clovers and blue moons, pots of gold n' rainbows and the red balloons! I use to love that commercial as a child.
Cereal Killer!
Betcha if he had a four-leaf clover instead of the three-leaf on his hat, this wouldn't have happened.
luker256 wrote:Bodacious! More EC's! How many EC shirts are there going to be? All week this week too?
If there are, I promise I'll buy them all, just out of solidarity.

If that's the case then unicorns hunted leprechauns to extinction and then all died of starvation. A cautionary tale against over hunting or something?

Named a Best Book of the Year by:
The Boston Globe
O, The Oprah Magazine
Huffington Post
The A.V. Club
A Washington Post Notable Book
An NPR Great Read of 2013
From the author of the novel Swamplandia!—a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize—comes a magical and uniquely daring collection of stories that showcases the author's gifts at their inimitable best.
Within these pages, a community of girls held captive in a Japanese silk factory slowly transmute into human silkworms and plot revolution; a group of boys stumble upon a mutilated scarecrow that bears an uncanny resemblance to a missing classmate that they used to torment; a family's disastrous quest for land in the American West has grave consequences; and in the marvelous title story, two vampires in a sun-drenched lemon grove try to slake their thirst for blood and come to terms with their immortal relationship.
Excerpted from Vampires in the Lemon Grove by Karen Russell. Copyright © 2013 by Karen Russell. Excerpted by permission of Vintage, a division of Random House LLC. All rights reserved. No part of this excerpt may be reproduced or reprinted without permission in writing from the publisher.
"Astonishing. . . . Vampires in the Lemon Grove stands out as Russell's best book . . . with prose so alive it practically backflips off the page." —San Francisco Chronicle
"From apparent influences as disparate as George Saunders, Saki, Stephen King, Carson McCullers and Joy Williams, [Russell] has fashioned a quirky, textured voice that is thoroughly her own: lyrical and funny, fantastical and meditative." —Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times
"One of the most innovative, inspired short-story collections in the past decade. . . . There's absolutely no living author quite like Karen Russell." —Michael Schaub, NPR
"Karen Russell's imagination is once again on full, Technicolor, mind-bending display. . . . Russell's stories will be seizing our imaginations—and nibbling at the edges of our nightmares—for years to come." —The Miami Herald
"Hilarious, exquisite, first-rate." —Joy Williams, The New York Times Book Review
"One of the great American writers of our young century." —Maureen Corrigan, NPR
"Darkly inventive, demonically driven." —Elle
"No one combines the fantastical with the mundane quite like Karen Russell. . . . The stories in Vampires portray ordinary life with an otherworldly twist in a fascinating and unexpected way. And yet these haunting tales are written with such clarity and recognizable perspectives that they manage the greatest feat of all: in the surreal, we see ourselves. —Jessica Gentile, Paste Magazine, #1 Best Book of the Year
"Sea deep, scary smart, richly inventive." —More
"Delightfully weird." —Esquire
"A writer to track and to treasure." —Chicago Tribune
"In another ten years Russell will be her generation's George Saunders: the writer whose books are stolen and studied, flashed like badges, and worn to death with rereading. . . . Breathtaking." —The Boston Globe
"One of the most remarkable fantasists writing today." —Elizabeth Hand, The Washington Post
"Witty, and wise, and brimming with vitality. . . . In Russell's stories, malice strolls with morality, horror tangos with humor, and the spirits of Franz Kafka and Flannery O'Connor meet with unexpected comity. . . . With a voice that could spring from an unleashed demon—or an angel on amphetamines—Russell fills this exuberant collection with life's radiance and shadows." —Richmond Times-Dispatch
"Consistently arresting . . . startling . . . profound. . . . Even more impressive than Russell's critically acclaimed novel." —Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
"Dazzlingly strange. . . . Vacillating between horror and humor, Russell's writing recalls both George Saunders and vintage Stephen King, sometimes simultaneously."—Time Out Chicago
"A darkly surreal treat." —Wired.com
"Eight new cages of horror and heart and winding metamorphoses that would take a normal writer a lifetime to dream into being." —Interview magazine
"Bone-chilling … fantasy and horror underlined with social commentary." —People
"As Russell's imagination soars, so does our joy in reading this collection." —Oprah.com
"Wildly inventive. . . . Wondrously strange and moving." —Reader's Digest
"In these stories, familiar human emotions leap into relief against backdrops of almost Tim Burton-like weirdness. . . . [Russell's] stories are as robust as can be." —New York magazine
"Karen Russell's stories defy definition. They are at once warm and sinister, a bubble bath with a shark fin lurking underneath the suds." —The Millions
"Clever as hell." —BookRiot
"Wildly imaginative. . . . Gorgeous. . . . Russell has once again mapped the dark country between our everyday and more primal selves." —Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
"A master of magical realism." —New York Observer
"Powerful. . . . Russell pulls the rug out on our imagination, creating perplexing, surreal scenarios that bump into the common reality that most of us take for granted." —Minneapolis Star Tribune
"Wondrously strange and moving." —Reader's Digest
"Nearly flawless . . . . Russell's best work manages to both create a fascinating, surreal world and coax meaning out of it." —The Onion's A.V. Club
1. Discuss the relationship between Clyde and Magreb, the two vampires in the title story whose hundred-year marriage is tested when one of them develops a fear of flying. Do you think the author believes they have a good marriage? What is the impact of Clyde's inability to transmute? Consider this quote from the beginning of the story: "I once pictured time as a black magnifying glass and myself as a microscopic flightless insect trapped in that circle of night. But then Magreb came along, and eternity ceased to frighten me." What is the author saying here about mortal—and immortal—love?
2. How might "Vampires in the Lemon Grove" be read as a parable of appetite and addiction? Note the linguistic forms in which the author couches references to the vampires' need for blood.
3. "I blinked down at a little blond child and then saw that my two hands were shaking violently, soundlessly, like old friends wishing not to burden me with their troubles. I dropped the candies into the children's bags, thinking: You small mortals don't realize the power of your stories" (p. 13). What is the author saying here about the nature of truth, the power of myth, and the role of storytelling in shaping identity?
4. In "Reeling for the Empire," Tooka asks, "Are we monsters now?" (p. 31) In the title story, Clyde reflects, "Magreb was the first and only other vampire I'd ever met. We bared our fangs over a tombstone and recognized each other. There is a loneliness that must be particular to monsters, I think, the feeling that each is the only child of a species. And now that loneliness was over." (p. 9) How are Clyde and Magreb similar to the reelers? What do these two stories have in common thematically? What do you think the author might be trying to say here about exile and community, shape-shifting and transformation?
5. Look at the passage in "Reeling for the Empire" where Kitsune describes the phenomenon of the thread: "Here is the final miracle, I say: our silk comes out of us in colors. There is no longer any need to dye it. There is no other silk like it on the world market, boasts the Agent.…Nobody has ever guessed her own color correctly—Hoshi predicted hers would be peach and it was blue; Nishi thought pink, got hazel. I would bet my entire five-yen advance that mine would be light gray, like my cat's fur. But then I woke and pushed the swollen webbing of my thumb and a sprig of green came out. On my day zero, in the middle of my terror, I was surprised into a laugh: here was a translucent green I swore I'd never seen before anywhere in nature, and yet I knew it as my own on sight" (pp. 31–32). How do you account for the joyfulness of this discovery? What do you think the author is trying to communicate about the nature of identity, and of our essential selves?
6. Discuss Kitsune's transformation [PE1] on p. 39. What does it mean that her thread changes from green to black?
7. "Reeling" ends with a violent, dramatic twist. What happens? How did this make you feel? Is this a happy ending or a sad one?
8. What do the seagulls represent to Nal in "The Seagull Army descends on Strong Beach, 1979," and how does their symbolism change throughout the story? Initially Nal takes them for his conscience—later, for omens. Discuss Nal's nightmare, and how the seagulls relate to Nal's understanding of the past, present, and future. Why does he consider the seagulls "cosmic scavengers" (p. 75), and what do you think that means?
9. Many of the stories in Russell's collection pivot on fantasies: Beverly's fantasy of magically healing Sgt. Derek Zeiger in "The New Veterans"; Dougbert's faith in Team Krill in "Dougbert Shackleton's Rules for Antarctic Tailgating," and a commitment to rooting for the underdog that destroys his marriage and causes him to run the risk of botulism, cannibalism, and frostbite; the Zegner family's dream of proving up on their claim and becoming homesteaders even if it kills them; the dead presidents' fantasies of running for reelection and their inability to relinquish their dreams of power despite being reincarnated as horses in "The Barn at the End of Our Term." In what way might these fantasies be considered uniquely American?
10. A number of the stories in this collection orbit the themes of regret and atonement, and how to deal with wrongdoing and events that evoke anguish and guilt: Kitsune, Larry Rubio, and Sgt. Derek Zeiger are all grappling, to varying degrees, with issues of culpability. In all of these cases, memory plays a vital role in the rituals of atonement. Discuss.
11. In "The Graveless Doll of Eric Mutis," a group of boys stumble on a mutilated scarecrow bearing an uncanny resemblance to the missing classmate they used to torment. There are powerfully sinister undertones here, and it could certainly be read as Karen Russell's first horror story. But there are also themes of expiation and redemption in "Eric Mutis." In what ways can it be read as a hopeful story?
12. Many of the stories in Vampires in the Lemon Grove are intensely comic, with absurd and magical predicaments—vampires in love; post-presidential horses; talismanic objects; miraculous tattoos that can transform the past; girls that turn into silkworms. Yet as readers we can see ourselves in each of these stories. No matter how outlandish the situation, the emotionand the vulnerability that Russell captures is recognizably our own. Which stories moved you most, or spoke to you most powerfully? Why?

Chasing the Dragons Tail (9780912111322)
Publisher: Paradigm Publications
Binding: Paperback
At the culmination of their professional careers, great Oriental physicians often write books setting forth the mature versions of their clinical vision, their creations and accomplishments. Chasing the Dragon's Tail is a book in this tradition, but one that also charts a course for future explorations. Thus, while it details Dr. Manaka's clinical system in its fullest and most effective form, it is also an invitation to further investigation by one of the most inventive Oriental practitioners of the preceding generation.
The text introduces Dr. Manaka's major clinical and theoretical accomplishments by describing how the "X-signal system" is the foundation of human topology, function, and response. In essence, the X-signal system defines qi, yin-yang, and the five phases as clinical events, just as traditional Oriental thinkers recognized these ideas through right-brain pattern recognition. While Dr. Manaka references some of the most advanced scientific thinking of our era -- information theory, holographic models and new paradigms -- his explanations are full of practical tests which readers can use to confirm his ideas for themselves. The core of the text is a complete description of Dr. Manaka's treatment system. This is of great importance, not only because Dr. Manaka was recognized in both Japan and China as one of the foremost practitioners of his generation, but also because the system has already proven itself adaptable to many others. It is thus a clinical manual of unique value because it describes Dr. Manaka's most important techniques: ion pumping and other root treatments, as well as his distinctive use of fire needles, channel stimulation techniques, sotai, moxibustion, and other modern Chinese and Japanese clinical developments. Beginning with a step-by-step template for formulating and confirming a diagnosis, Dr. Manaka provides the instructions necessary to apply these techniques quickly and with confidence. The text concludes with case histories and appendices that provide supporting technical details.

US Presswire photo
Yankee Stadium hosts the decisive fifth game of this division series.
And so it has come to this: A do-or-die ballgame in the Bronx between the Yankees and Tigers, the winner advancing to face the Rangers in the ALCS, the loser trudging home for a long winter. It doesn't get much more compelling than this.
Actually, this could have set up as one of the all-time pitching matchups, with CC Sabathia facing Justin Verlander for all the marbles. Unfortunately, that Game 1 rain suspension destroyed that possibility, so it's a rematch of the continuation of that game in Ivan Nova vs. Doug Fister.
Nova got the better of Fister in that matchup. This, however, could be a different story, primarily because neither manager will have a long leash on his starter tonight. They'll make a change at the first sign of trouble, and just about everybody will be available to pitch. Just don't look for Verlander. Jim Leyland insists his ace will not be used under any scenario, and earlier today Verlander threw a bullpen session, which would seem to confirm he's not available tonight.
Enjoy the game…

Well, at least it is a good start for the Tigers. Fister has been a gift (from the Mariners) and Delmon's no slouch himself (from the Twins). Dave Dombrowski pulled off a couple of good trades at the deadline. Skipped the Tiger's watch party invite, actually want to watch the game. Yay, Magglio!

John C. – was your over/under for a three hour and forty-five minute game or for 3:45 a.m.?
- Anonymous - Oct 7, 2011 at 3:55 AM
The Yankees lose! They are starting to get a little long in the tooth. Jeter and A-Rod are still good but they no longer are the great players they were in their youth and the Yanks are kind of committed to them for a few more years at big money. John C,3:34 pretty good guess.
- John C. - Oct 7, 2011 at 4:15 AM
It's going to be tough to see how much it costs them to keep Sabathia. He's due to get $24.286 million for the next four years. They are committed for $153.1 million for 12 players next year. After they pick up the options for Cano (+$12 million) and Swisher (+$9.25 million) that goes to $174.35 million for 14 players. Add arbitration for Gardner, Hughes, Chamberlain, Boone Logan and Russell Martin and they will be about one free agent signing away from their current payroll with six more players to get. It makes me wonder if they really will be players for Yu Darvish or C.J. Wilson.
- natsfan1a - Oct 7, 2011 at 10:09 AM
Yay, happy morning game results! (Glad I set the DVR. I went to bed after the 6th. Okay, I kind of fell asleep on the couch before that.)Atta way, Tigers! Congrats, Dawn.

Nice — just so nice to see that a billion dollar payroll does not guarantee you a ring. Next the Phils?
- natsfan1a - Oct 7, 2011 at 11:16 AM
Hope so, swami. (And, yes, Delmon is Dmitri's brother.)
- Dawn - Oct 7, 2011 at 12:02 PM
natsfan1a; Thank you…yawn…what a tight, competitive and great game to watch. When Girardi took Nova out, Miggy's look mirrored mine. But when push came to shove the Yanks were close to pulling it off. Fister, Scherzer, Benoit then Valverde were spectacular. Kelly getting the homerun would be like Bixler doing the same on the Nats, a sweet surprise.
- Jim Croce - Oct 7, 2011 at 12:15 PM
You don't tug on Superman's capeYou don't spit into the windYou don't rip the bandaid off of Benoit's cheek And you don't mess around with Jim.Leyland, that is.
- ehay2k - Oct 7, 2011 at 12:41 PM
The Yankees' loss serves as a cautionary tale to those who think spending money on free agents wins championships. Once you get to the playoffs, the on paper matchups do not much matter.So, I ask you all:Do the Nats really need to trade prospects and/or pay a ton of cash for what would amount to a rental CF in 2012, when there will be better, longer term options available in 2013?Is there really a better option available for a fair value at SS than Desmond?Does our pitching staff really need much of an upgrade?Sometimes, what a team (in any sport) needs is continuity. There can be as much value in that as in a flashy free agent. What I, as a fan, do NOT want is for the Nats to bring in a high-priced jerk that we get stuck with for several years. I LIKE the current crop of players, and that puts me in the seats as much as another 10 wins, or 20 for that matter, would with a FLop, HRamirez, or ABelle would. Perhaps more.My point is that unless the time is now or never to get to the World Series, there is something to be said for going slow, even standing pat.
- John C. - Oct 7, 2011 at 1:06 PM
The true test for "now or never" is the Milwaukee Brewers. By not trading Prince Fielder and dumping trading their best prospects for Greinke, they are truly all in for 2011. It's been done before – the FL Marlins have won a couple of WS titles by going all in. But the damage the fire sales did to the franchise are obvious when you looked around their stadium for the nonexistent fans. Even though I root against the Brewers (Bud Selig hangover), I hope that they manage a softer landing than the Marlins did.

John C; For the most part that is true about the Marlins. Case in point, Leyland gets a bum rap for his career win/loss record. People ignore the fact that after his team won the WS in 97' Dombrowski was ordered to dismantle the team the following year. In 98' Jim had to start over. Loria didn't want to resign Pudge in 04' even though he said he would sign for the same amount as 03'(and a couple of years). Your point about the Marlins fans I don't agree with as much. Have family in Florida who love the Marlins, can't stand the summer heat. With a roof on the new park they are already buying tickets, they are not going to be the only ones.

"Loria didn't want to resign Pudge…"Not trying to be part of the spelling police, but it's "re-sign," not resign. It's obvious in this case what you meant, however, since both words are commonly found in baseball discussions, there have been other posts in the past where the wording made the meaning a bit unclear.

N. Cognito; Thanks for the "Save". Tend to get lazy when posting on a blog, rarely take time to proof.
