Who is this agile, self-sufficient little creature?
She'll be three next month, that creature. The past few months have been wonderful for discovering who she is, not just in comparison to her sister, such as we've discovered her from birth, but who she is all on her own. She has independent passions. She wore her firefighter boots to school yesterday, not as part of a costume, but just because she was feeling extra firefighter-ish. She wore them much of last week, too, and on Columbus Day when we went through a corn maze and I was babywearing, she was sporting her firefighter boots in the fallen kernels. I asked her yesteday evening, just to be conversational, if it's super-duper (her highest praise) fun to wear her firefighter boots to school.
Yes! It's fun all day except on the playground because it's hard to pedal the red bikes with my firefighter boots on. So I take them off but then Ms. F tells me to put my boots on when when she's not looking I take them off again so I can go fast on the bikes. And then I can use my boots to collect rocks! And woodchips!
She's also articulate, and a planner. I think this is a really fun age.
So she popped out the disc as if she had done it a hundred times (and maybe she has). She strode across the room, opened the doors of the media cabinet under the television, and with great composure, slid the DVD confidently into the gaping maw of
the VCR player.
(Yes, we still have one of those. Hush, now.)
Only then did she concede that she couldn't get the movie started on her own. Luckily, I was able to retrieve the disc for her, and guide her over one machine to the left. It's good to know that she still needs me
(a little bit).

Re: Shogun Appreciation Societyhere's my shogie bear
tange 2 samurai. replacing my late raleigh as general hack, while i wait on parts/motivation/inspiration to finish something else. beaut little frame - i'll take some better pics soon and post them up.
Re: Shogun Appreciation SocietyNice hack! Love those blue Mavic rims.
Re: Shogun Appreciation SocietyI'm very pleased to see there is a Shogun appreciation society!!
I had a Shogun mountain bike when I was young and it never let me down, I now have what I think is an '89 Ninja, and a '95 Trail Breaker 3, Further I recently purchased a 1990 ( I think) Katana for my Girlfriend as a project. See pics, I'm really getting into learning about these bikes, I really like my Ninja! image ru free photo hosting photo sharing websites the Katana appears to have all it's orginal parts, including seat and Araya wheels, I have the handle bars and levers off my ninja, I'm keeping an eye out for other original parts for it...
Re: Shogun Appreciation Society
ambrosio excellence rims, scott..
Re: Shogun Appreciation SocietyVery nice Munga.
Re: Shogun Appreciation Societycheers, guys. rides very nicely, but i do miss my old raleigh
if anyone is interested in the frameset, i'm ready to sell.
Re: Shogun Appreciation Society$130 ono. wishbone stays, tange 2 53cm c-c st, 54cm c-c tt
Re: Shogun Appreciation SocietyI'd grab it if it wasn't so tiny.
Re: Shogun Appreciation Society
A very nice 'stable' there, healsmeals. Well, no, it's not a pushbike, otherwise I'd be pushing it...

Re: Shogun Appreciation Society
I want to make my shogun selectra like this, did you have to file down your fork dropouts X-Infinity??
Re: Shogun Appreciation SocietyI was involved in starting this thread, my bike is on one of the first pages. I've raced her at Muzz, Nundah, ridden her everywhere, hasn't missed a beat. However finally, the stem cracked through right about the steerer. Can someone help me please as to what size it is, 1" or 1 1/8?
Recommendations for replacement? Not real keen on another old 2nd's quill, as it was a pretty catastrophic failure and I was lucky get away with a small acco' Looking at Deda murex stem unless there are some better suggestions. Thanks
Re: Shogun Appreciation Society1" quill stem. check the length you need (not the height, but the length of the horizontal section - probably 100mm)
no reason not to trust an alloy quill stem, they've been working for donkeys years. you just had some bad luck. also check the bar clamp diameter. probably 25.4mm if you're using the original bar and stem. if you upgrade, you might need different bars. if you want to go to a threadless 1 1/8" stem like the new bikes, you can get an adaptor for $20-$40. ugly as a hatful, but cheap, easy to change stems if you want to try a different length, and a removable face plate to change bars without removing levers and tape. i can see the technical attraction. still wouldn't do it.
Re: Shogun Appreciation SocietyIf its a 1" get a nitto pearl. NJS stamp means it is so tough that you'll probably give it to your grandkids.
Re: Shogun Appreciation Society
It looks like a storm trooper!
Re: Shogun Appreciation SocietyA very nice 'stable' there, healsmeals. [/quote]
Thankyou, I'm enjoying working on the old bikes! The Katana resto is underway!
Re: Shogun Appreciation SocietyHeres my 1980s Shogun selectra i bought for $10, i made it a single/fixed project because there were no brakes to start with and the frame was scratched/rusted up
bought: new wheelset $80 new chain $10 new seat $20 Total $120 I will probably get a new classic quill stem though
Re: Shogun Appreciation SocietyNewly acquired 1993 Shogun Metro SE from Brett.Hooker(BNA) after a red hot tip from Dan(Digger) late last wed. night.
Had it in my possession at 7.30 the next morning. Brett had the bike spec'ed with drops when he purchased it, and its in remarkable condition. 7speed pod shifters on the bars work very well. Since then, ive replaced saddle with an old Brooks Competition, put the larger 40mm CX tyres (also supplied by Brett), an angled stem, red bar tape to match the funky red Trek rack and some very grippy pads. I dont have scales, but the weight isnt so bad, quite good in fact, and gets along nicely. But ive come off a long period of commuting with the Big Dummy, so the shogun is lightweight. From here, its a set of Mudgaurds, maybe an upgrade to Ortlieb panniers, more commuting, wet weather rides, and perhaps some touring when the sciatica clears.... Thanks again Brett, great to meet you, and to Dan the BikeBroker chop wood
Re: Shogun Appreciation SocietyThat is absolutely fantastic...
And puts a tear in my eye. I loved that bike. I rode it from Brisbane to Rockhampton in 1993, took it to Silicon Valley with me and commuted to Oracle HQ on it, and then freshened it all up to help me find my way back to health 18 months ago... Thanks mate, it is heartening to see someone love it as much as I did!!! Loving my Merida's and working towards adding a Pinarello to the stable... Go go go...
Re: Shogun Appreciation SocietyHi,
i've jsut recently join up whilst searching for info on the Shogun Selectra. First time ever restoring a bike and very keen for the challenge. Just wondering a few things abouth them; Is the Selectra a good model? This one is Black with Blue and White detailing, also has the Tangalloy forks, and i think Shimano Exgae breaks. I found this thing just before the floods hit Brissy back in 2011 and have had it sitting there as a project waiting to be started. Since becoming more and more addicted to cycling this desire to restore the thing has grown.The frame looks to be in good nick, have got both wheels off with the plan to clean them up, polish etc. Then its onto the Crank set, breaks etc etc. I need to get hold of some bearings to replace the once in both front and rear hubs. Are these easy to get hold of Is there workshop manual available these bikes? Any advice, suggestions or tips most welcome because i havent really got a clue as to what i'm doing this stage, just pulling it apart and cleaning/ polishing maddly. Suggest when it comes time to reassemble the fun will start.
Re: Shogun Appreciation Societygood bike, but not their best. i think it goes:
ninja samurai katana selectra scroll back through the thread, and you'll find some info on the different models. use the date codes on the shimano components to find a close year for your bike.
Re: Shogun Appreciation SocietyHey Cammo, new loose bearings and even new cones should be easily bought from any good bike shop.
Re: Shogun Appreciation SocietyIn 1993 I scrapped together all my pennies & bought a Avanti Kona for $1,389 - it was nothing particularly special - 7005 Alu frame, steel fork, shimano 105 sc components, 7 speed, down tube shifters. Sadly the seat tube cracked. Fortunately I managed to get a replacement frame off these forums, thanks Andy, so my alu Avanti is now a cro molly Shogun. Managed to find some time to re-assemble it & take it for a quick test ride
Still a bit to do to make it presentable, first up getting a barrel adjuster for the rear derailleur, the correct shape shift lever bosses & seat clamp bolt. But hey its out of the shed & back on the road. . . . . . . .

press in bottom brackets and mountain biking

press in bottom brackets and mountain bikingi'm talkin about all these suckers
The elements are pretty extreme where i ride. Coz there is just so much mud and water at times i generally find myself doing a major clean after every ride. One of the probs i have is water/mud getting into the bottom bracket area and horrible clunking noises developing. This problem can be fixed pretty easy. Coz the BB's threaded type, i just take them out (unscrew), clean and regrease everything, and off i go. Here's the prob. Im thinking of buying a XTC 29er. It's on special. Test rode in the wet a few weeks ago. It rode well. At the end of the ride though i noticed that familiar clunking in the bb. So i think, well, i'd rip that sucker out, clean and regrease. But its bb91 standard. How do i get that thing out. I need more than a wrench. I need rather expensive tools. Once u knock the pressed in bottom bracket out it seems u more or less have to toss it, its not recommended that it be reinstalled which seems rather wasteful. Also it cant be good pressing stuff in and out of your frame all the time either. The only thing i can realistically do is take the cranks out and regrease that, else i would say i'm off to the mechanic. I would like to buy the XTC since its rather cheap. But i'm not very tolerant of clunking noises and things that arnt easily servicable. Am even thinking of going with the Santa Cruz Highball who dont do press in stuff for the reasons above. But I would be interested to hear other opinions/experiences from people (Giant owners or otherwise) with press in bb in their moutain bike. maybe its just no big deal??????....anyone
Re: press in bottom brackets and mountain bikingNo problem with the unit in my TranceX to date but a little prayer to the patron saint of creaks is said before riding.
I do my best to avoid riding in wet and sloppy conditions, it does horrible trail damage. ...whatever the road rules, self-preservation is the absolute priority for a cyclist when mixing it with motorised traffic.
London Boy 29/12/2011
Re: press in bottom brackets and mountain biking+1. Unless you're in the wet tropics, riding wet trails in Oz is regarded as seriously uncool, due in no small part to the massive increase (200+ times?) it causes compared to dry conditions.
Graunchy bottom brackets are the least of my worries. Brakes and transmission get absolutely flogged. Wet tree roots and timber trail structures get ice-slippery. Erm... pass. If you must, there are BB30-to-external BB threaded adapters out there.
Re: press in bottom brackets and mountain biking
Yeah, but we're talking PF90 or whatever it's called. The "cups" are all plastic and press directly into a large diameter and ~90mm wide BB shell. Somehow, methinks an adapter will be a big engineering task. If someone manages it, I'll be an early adopter, not a fan of the disposableness of the concept. ...whatever the road rules, self-preservation is the absolute priority for a cyclist when mixing it with motorised traffic.
London Boy 29/12/2011
Re: press in bottom brackets and mountain bikingWe're talking about an adaptor from BB30 shell to take standard Shimano external BB cups. http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Mode ... pgod6BLy3Q
Re: press in bottom brackets and mountain bikingGumby was Nobody but the OP was talking BB90. Here's one...
It's a straight press fit (no circlips) into a monster shell... ...whatever the road rules, self-preservation is the absolute priority for a cyclist when mixing it with motorised traffic.
London Boy 29/12/2011
Re: press in bottom brackets and mountain bikingYeah, you can have all those freak press fit monstrosities. If I die before owning one, it will be too soon. [Can feel the retro grouch coming out. ]
According to the FSA guide, BB90 is a Trek standard.
Re: press in bottom brackets and mountain bikingMy CX bike has press fit... mechanic stuffed up putting them in and damaged the inner spacer, but as they are shimano press fit the inner spacer is the same as XT... easy fix.
They are not a very tight press fit as they are plastic sleeve... they seem to have a fair bit of friction. OP, yes XT type screw in ones are easy in and out and as they seem to need replacing so often i agree the new systems are a pita!, but if you have a bit of mechanical skills you will realize they are easily and safely installed with a block of wood and a soft faced hammer... ditto for removing.
Re: press in bottom brackets and mountain bikingMy bad: With a plastic sleeve I'd be less concerned about the potential for damaging the BB than with BB30.
Re: press in bottom brackets and mountain bikingI've exactly the bike that Gordo is looking at. In his situation I'd be more concerned with the suspension pivot bearings than the BB.
I recently had mine in pieces for a complete suspension service so I decided to inspect the bearings whicle the forks and shock were away. The Shimano BB was fine...it is actually reasonably well sealed for a bike bearing. But some of the pivot bearings were cactus...I've put no more than 750km into this bike and it doesn't rain here. Two outer bearings under the shock were crunchy and one of the main pivot bearings beside the seat tube was rusted to the point of scoring the pivot shaft. A couple of careful hours with an Enduro bearing kit, a socket set, a DIY bearing press, lanolin grease and Dryglide spray lube and we are back to sweetness. But it was a bit of a fraught process at times because of the heavily sculpted rear triangle...I've put my name down for the Giant Maestro Bearing Press Kit at a certain Oz shoppe to try and make things a little easer The BB itself is no biggie. In fact it is the easiest thing in the world to sort. My LBS has the correct bopping out and putting back tools that I can use - and the replacement Shimano BB itself is not expensive. One can go with Enduro, Chris King, Hope or another bling BB if you prefer. The key is to remember to grease up the cup before you fit it and the crankset shaft as well. I suspect that I'll end up tooling up to do the job myself in the longer run - even though the bopping out tool is expensive.... a bearing press is easy to go to school on as a shed build (but is also not that expensive to buy either). http://www.starbike.com/p/Shimano-TL-BB ... ol-3736-en http://www.starbike.com/p/Shimano-TL-BB ... ol-3735-en Honestly...if you want a complicated bike like a full sus MTB and you want to ride it in challenging locations then be prepared to commit to a complicated & expensive service schedule in order to keep it running properly. There's nothing intrinsically wrong with press fit BB but they do require a different set of compromises to screw in outboard BB which in themselves require a different set of compromises to the old cartridge BB. And you can't manage the compromises then be prepared for some hurt.. Ours is not to reason why...merely to point and giggle
Re: press in bottom brackets and mountain biking
i saw ur post in a previous thread about this. fair point. i gave it due consideration too. i have thought about it i'm way south. like as far as u can go south almost. ur pretty much guaranteed to get wet in tassie. i dont know how long the trails dry out here but it cant be that long. around the mountain in hobart there are parts i have thought, yeah, i shouldnt ride that maybe. though it seems to hold pretty well. Then there are the bog holes that u just avoid. Then there are the more rocky solid fire trails that hold fine and no-one seems to ride and i dont see what damage i'm doing, especially when climbing. Its very varied. But guaranteed u are going to get wet and water is going to make its way into moving parts and u are going have to clean ur bike here i think. The bike will take a hit.

Re: press in bottom brackets and mountain biking
FS = more maintenace, yeah, i know. Leaning towards hardtail for ease of servicability and the alloy XTC is at a nice price. Anthems are all out of warehouse stock till 2013. Would like to go carbon XTC but same deal as anthems. Ok, i could go Anthem composite...but...unlikely. If money was no object i'd be on an epic 29er but thats 5 grand of bike if u factor in decent wheel purchase. it rains here though...alot. And that xtc test bike was making a clunk clunk clunk noise from the bb after not much riding. made me nervous. I dont want to spend an extra 400 on tools when a little wrench does the job at the minute in no time (EDIT: just looked at above links and those tools look rather cheap compared with the prices i've seen. hmmm).. And all that pressing in and out of bearings cant be good. For me, at the moment, BB30 looks like a dog of a design. BB91 is a little diff with the plastic nylon cups, maybe thats better, i dunno. Id like someone to say yeah, its all good, just get the bike. But i read this on the santa cruz website and they have me suckered in:
Re: press in bottom brackets and mountain bikingThanks for posting. I like bike companies that can give clear reasoning on the choices they make.
Re: press in bottom brackets and mountain biking
To be fair to you, I should apologise for over-generalising. Tassie would be the other high rainfall area exception I would make besides the wet tropics. If you don't ride when wet there, you wouldn't get to ride. While that in itself is not a justification from an environmental point of view, the high rainfall happily means a different plant ecosystem and consequently a different soil type, which is deeper, more fertile and less erodible (sp?). I would still encourage you to stay away from areas that don't drain well or where the trails run down the fall line, which you seem to be doing. Fire roads are interesting. Given that they are usually open to large 4WD vehicles and AWD fire trucks, unless they are specifically closed to bikes by land managers they would seem to be fair game regardless of weather. You could host a major event on most of them and not do as much damage as a single pass by a NPWS 4WD or a Rural Fire Service truck. While I sometimes go stir crazy and have to get on the dirt or go mad, of late I'm finding the horrible crunchy grinding noises my favourite dually makes after 40km of wet fire trails just get unbearable, so rather than love it to death I've been taking the hardtail commuter out on wet weekends and have been staying on the road.
Re: press in bottom brackets and mountain bikingAh, the problem with expensive lounge chairs.
Re: press in bottom brackets and mountain biking
Yeah I get the warm and fuzzies about Santa Cruz bikes. I'm giving some thought to getting a SC Superlight once my current 29er hard tail project is completed. Sorry, OT
Re: press in bottom brackets and mountain bikingi would love to have a santa cruz. Just poking around on their website they seem to have considered servicing and maintenance side of things rather well, and not completely given to all this weight weenie clap trap. Some nice diagrams for servicing their bikes. grease ports and what not. just wish they were a little cheaper
Re: press in bottom brackets and mountain bikingI'll be buying a new cx bike later this year and will be crossing any bike off the potential list that has a press fit bottom bracket. I know a couple of people who have had to warranty MTB frames as the press fit bearings eventually wouldn't sit tight in the frame. I have an external bearing removal tool and can easily do it myself, I have no wish to have to buy new tools or take my bike to a bike shop, hopefully it's just a fad like biopace.
Last time I checked, 2015 Distance: 1284km Time: 59hr Rides: 47
Re: press in bottom brackets and mountain biking
Not a chance. It makes bike frames cheaper to make, faster to assemble and it can be done via automation...therefore more potential for margin at the factory door. Given those circumstances... Ours is not to reason why...merely to point and giggle
press in bottom brackets and mountain bikingI couldn't find many cx bikes without press fit bearings ... I was looking at race only ones but they were nearly all press fit of some type.
But as my cx bike does about 15-20 hours maximum riding during a winter race season i don't have to worry to much about bearing problems! .
Re: press in bottom brackets and mountain bikingdid note here the following when i was digging around for 2013 stuff:
one of the shops i went to said they've been having heaps of problems. sounds like they need to tweak things a bit at the least. I'll prob buy a bike with press fit bearings due to the fact that there aint much choice...stearing clear of bb30 though. Oh, and just on 2013 stuff, looks like Giant are out putting a trance 29er through its paces (see adam craigs bike at 4:51). Ok, maybe we'll have to wait for 2014 for that one. But no doubt for 2013 Specialized will come up with a billion and one proprietary bs designs to put on their bikes in an attempt to try and dissuade me from buying their stuff.
Re: press in bottom brackets and mountain bikingOk, we have BB30, BB90 and Specialised have the OSBB or is it PF30? Whey do we need to steer clear of BB30 over the other ones and are there others I've missed, are they all compatable with the same BB shell? Are any of them any good at all, I'd say probably not?
Last time I checked, 2015 Distance: 1284km Time: 59hr Rides: 47
Re: press in bottom brackets and mountain biking
You needn't steer clear of any particular pressfit BB system...they are all much the same in design and construction. Big difference is that some press directly into the frame itself while others are pressed into plastic cups that are pressed in the frame. Cannondale and Specialized use BB30 bearings pressed directly into some frames while other makers use a Press Fit BB30 system which has the same BB30 bearings inside a plastic cup that's pressed into the frame...BB86 is the same setup (bearing in plastic cup) that you'll often see in road bikes. In the end...it's quite simple. The press-fit systems require the exposure of the bearing to the environment so unless the bearing is well made and well sealed then it will get killed quite quickly with mis-use. Second compromise is that (unlike external cup and internal cartridge systems) they require very high precision in order to function correctly - so punters who think they can be 'just bopped out' of an alloy BB shell with a hammer and dowel without risk are deluded. If you have a bike with a press fit BB system then you'll either need to buy the correct BB press tooling in order to service them yourself...or get the LBS to do it. And you'll probably need to do it every year depending on your local ride conditions... Ours is not to reason why...merely to point and giggle
press in bottom brackets and mountain bikingThe good thing about bb30 is you can readily get adapter sleeves.
Re: press in bottom brackets and mountain biking
see the youtube vid in my first post regarding all the diff standards. why steer clear of bb 30. ughhh, just my preference at the minute. i just dont like the idea of wedging stuff directly into the bb. seems to need very tight tolerances. With pf 30 and bb 86/91 (shimano stuff), they use the plastic sleeve which seems a little better. Perphaps not so fine tolerances needed. I dont know if im right or not. but maybe outa supersititon i'd ping for those anyway (lesser evil im thinking). Or if i get the cash i'll just go buy santa cruz.

The VH1 take on the 1980s sucks dog-shit. They did the documentaries as if rock and hip-hop did not exist before 1990. Instead, VH1 only focuses on the hair, the hair, and nothing but the hair. The hair sucked alright, but that was NOT the only thing significant about the 80's. Sheesh.

True Stories, Scene #02
Scott Baldwin manages to use the wrong color paint on Max Grand's walls and spills it all over Grand as well. This gives Grand the perfect opportunity to get out of his stuffy work suit-and gives Baldwin the perfect opportunity to follow him into the bathroom. Baldwin is more than happy to make up for his mistakes by servicing Grand's cock and Grand is more than happy to turn Baldwin around so he can have a taste of the paint boy's smooth bubble butt. He spreads Baldwin's cheeks and shoves his tongue all the way in. All this ass-eating gets Grand's butt twitching and he begs Baldwin to screw him. Jumping out of the tub, Grand pulls Baldwin over his knee and delivers a spanking to the clumsy painter, then makes Baldwin sit on his face while he jerks off. Once he shoots his load, he services Baldwin's balls until they spurt.

VSEA seeks to reduce Montpelier parking pinch
MONTPELIER A state workers union is working to resolve the capital citys long-standing parking problems, which have been compounded by a recent legislative change, construction projects and the relocation of some Waterbury state workers to Montpelier.
An online survey by the Vermont State Employees Association has gathered more than 100 responses for what kind of travel reimbursement package they would like in order to help reduce parking issues in the capital city.
The responses will help inform solutions and a discussion at a meeting from noon to 1 p.m. March 12 in the House chambers of the Statehouse.
VSEA organizing director Kristen Warner said even with the addition of the Carr Lot by Taylor Street and the Winooski River, theres a net deficit of 290 spaces every day. At National Life, theres a deficit of 250 spaces every day, which doesnt include visitors, she said.
This is a pretty huge concern, she said. (And) that comes from the (Buildings and General Services) commissioner.
In late January, VSEA representatives met with state officials to reconcile the issue, bringing forth proposed solutions. The state Department of Buildings and General Services has responded to the recommendations, and the state is still evaluating how to proceed.
For the current legislative session, the state had expanded the number of reserved spots for legislators and legislative staff from 208 to 240, an increase that took away from the overall parking for state government. Warner said VSEA wants the spaces on a first-come, first-serve basis.
A November report noted that for the 1,595 state employees there year-round, parking areas adjacent to and near the Statehouse and key state buildings during the legislative session would be 992.
Traffic guidelines suggest that for every 10 people, there are eight spots, a ratio that exists when the Legislature is not in session but one that drops to six spots per 10 people during the session, according to the state.
The state last fall identified several ways to address parking woes, identifying options that range from 50 percent subsidies on bus passes to other financial incentives for measures like vanpooling.

My husband loves the Perry Ellis Blue cologne! I think he smells quite sexy when he wears it, too. It seems to last a pretty long time, and is not too overpowering. Would recommend for any occasion, really.

Remembering Spain Rodriguez | |
Written by Jen Vaughn | Filed under Spain Rodriguez, spain, Daily OCD, artists, art shows | 7 Dec 2012 4:05 PM |
The comics world lost a great cartoonist this month as Spain Rodriguez drove his wild hog one last time. As an influential members of underground comics, his reach was large. The New York Times wrote an excellent obituary on Spain and Bruce Weber profiled him as "part of a wave of artists — including R. Crumb, S. Clay Wilson and Bill Griffith, who created the character Zippy the Pinhead — who established the irreverent, profane, highly sexed, antiwar, anti-capitalist spirit of underground comics (often, in this context, spelled comix)." Below is a sketch Spain made for Associate Publisher Eric Reynolds.
From the Latino Comics Expo, Ricardo Padilla remembers some of his favorite moments. "We were touched by his generous spirit, his kindness, and his willingness to support and encourage artists and their dreams. He even agreed to be part of our Art Show, LA RAZA COMICA, which premiered at the Cartoon Art Museum after our Expo. . . I will always treasure these memories of Spain Rodriguez and will never forget the encouragement and support he lent to the Latino Comics Expo. He was a True Revolutionary and and an honorable man. My fondest memory is of him in the Museum's 'green room' after his panel discussion, smiling with his wife and daughter. . . savoring one of my mom's 'chile verde' burritos. . ."
Stephen R. Bissette and Skip Williamson taught me everything I needed to know about the history of underground comics including Zap comics and Spain Rodriguez, from there I went on to read his collected comics, thanks to Last Gasp and Fantagraphics. While not everyone was able to meet this amazing creator, we can remember him through friends' stories of Spain and the stories he created. Tom Spurgeon of the Comics Reporter made a thorough list of all the links, stories and pictures of Spain in his collective memory.
For the curious, a retrospective of Spain's career has been hanging at the Burchfield Penney Center in Buffalo, NY since September and will be up through January 20th. Jack Foran of ArtVoice recently visited the exhibit and had this to say, "Rodriguez was a kind of incorrigible rebellious type. . . when abstract expressionism with its two-dimensionality principle was dogma—he was into three-dimensionality, in spades—and his blue-collar employment in Buffalo area manufactories, where the curriculum was the much more interesting subject to him of simmering socioeconomic class warfare." His art will live on.
(The first photo is a panel from Cruisin' with the Hound by Spain released earlier this year while the last on is page six from Hard-Ass Friday Nite).

Detroit � Overflow from Thursday night�s match at Comerica Park, which saw the Red Sox trip the Tigers, 4-3, in Game 5 of the American League Championship Series and move to within a game of the World Series.
Victor Martinez proves hitting is easy if you�re superhuman.
We need to pause for a moment as the Tigers and Red Sox migrate to Fenway Park. In the way that contemplatives ponder deities, or cosmic forces, or souls and spirits, it�s not a bad move to at least dwell on how a 34-year-old switch-hitter so consistently mashes big-league hits.
And that might be the most awesome of Martinez�s tricks these past four months. It�s the reality, visible to anyone who has watched him, that he does not just hit a baseball, but that he hits 90-plus-mph pitches of every extraction and gyration so positively perfectly.
Get a handle on these month-by-month numbers, although it�s a daunting exercise:
July: Martinez batted a mere .390 in 26 games and 112 plate appearances. He had an Olympic-medal-grade OPS (on-base plus slugging percentage) of 1.010.
August: Martinez was so embarrassed by how easy that .390 clip made big-league batting appear, he backed off to .386 in 29 games and 127 plate appearances. He had 13 RBIs after racking up 20 in July.
September: Martinez became relatively human. He came in with a .315 average in 25 games. He had three home runs and six doubles. The numbers were better when measured against the remainder of the Tigers lineup, which mostly acted as if September was a vacation month.
Martinez batted .368 during the season�s second half, which was something of a personal obligation if he wanted to stay true to that career batting average of .303 he brought into the 2013 season.
Of course, he finished the year at .301, which earlier in the season looked about as plausible as Brandon Inge returning to Detroit and displacing Cabrera at third base.
But this goes beyond numbers. This gets to the heart of Martinez�s craft, which for the past 20 or so weeks has been an exercise in disbelief.
Notice him during virtually every at-bat. The crouch. The fixation on pitcher and pitch. And then, in one flashbulb-like millisecond, the blur of his bat on, and through, a pitch most mortals would be lucky to touch.
He has seemingly hit every ball on the nose. Everything centered. Everything ripped, even when they haven�t gone for hits, as was the case in the eighth inning Thursday, when he drilled a one-hop bullet Mike Napoli was able to glove at first base for an unassisted put-out.
Of course, he had earlier notched a single, to go with a walk that turned into the Tigers� second run of the night.
That has been Martinez, even through the playoffs, which saw him batting .400 as he got ready for his next exercise in artistry Thursday night.
This is a story about more than a sublime hitter and his half-season exploits. It�s a comeback tale, extraordinary in that even a hitter as gifted as Martinez had to deal with a potentially destructive full-season layoff from the big-league stage.
It was never expected Martinez would simply lose it during his 2012 hiatus, brought on by a knee torn during a January, 2012, workout in Orlando.
But even the people who knew him and his talents best � his bosses � had to allow for the reality he was older and that big-league pitching is merciless in its everyday fury.
There has been his triumph in 2013, every bit as much as those gaudy numbers. He brushed aside age. He dismissed a year�s sabbatical. He acted as if 2013 was almost restorative, at least by the time in late spring when he found his stroke.
The Tigers did deft work in analyzing and signing Martinez three years ago. There were wise baseball professionals who weren�t sure a four-year, $50-million contract was the best use of resources when Martinez would be swinging a bat at age 35 during the contract�s final season.
But the guys who signed off on the investment had it right all along. This man wielding a bat at the plate during these final months has been akin to watching a Renaissance artist at work.
He has made the most difficult task in all of sports look manageable. And it has been marvelous to behold.

Lifeline Frequently Asked Questions
How will I benefit from the Lifeline Personal Response Service?
Lifeline offers you and your loved ones peace of mind, independence, early intervention, and reassurance. Here are answers to ten of the most frequently asked questions.
My independence is very important to me and I already have all the help I need. Would I be giving that up by subscribing to Lifeline?
No. In fact, a recent clinical study proved that Lifeline users were ten times less likely to need a long-term care facility like a nursing home compared to people who didn't use the Lifeline Service. Lifeline actually helps you preserve your independence by giving you the confidence to continue to live safely at home. With Lifeline, you're always in complete control. You press your "Personal Help Button" when you need assistance and you tell us who you want us to call if you need help.
I'm fine on my own. Why would I want Lifeline?
Lifeline is like insurance. You may never need it, but if you do you'll be glad you have it. It's reassuring to know that if you have a sudden illness or injury, help will be on the way in a matter of minutes even if you can't move or speak.
I already have all the help I need. My neighbor checks in with me every day.
Between your neighbor's visits, you're left unprotected. You could fall and be unable to get help for over 24 hours. A study published in the New England Journal of Medicine reported that people found within one hour of a fall are five times more likely to survive than those who remain helpless for more than 72 hours.
How much does the service cost?
Lifeline is affordable. You don't have to buy anything or make a long-term commitment. You pay a low, one-time installation charge and a low monthly fee for as long as you use the service.
Who are the "Lifeline Monitors" answering my call?
They are caring, highly trained professionals. Their only job is to answer your call and to ensure that you receive the attention you deserve and the help you need.
Is Lifeline complicated to use?
Using Lifeline is simpler than using a telephone. All you have to do is press your "Personal Help Button". The communicator dials the Lifeline Response Center. Within seconds you'll be talking with a Monitor who immediately has all of your important information displayed on a screen.
What is the next step if I decide to subscribe?
It begins with your call. Knowledgeable phone representatives will discuss your special needs and answer your questions about the Lifeline Service. Within a few days, an experienced Lifeline Home Service Representative will visit you to explain the service and demonstrate the equipment. The Home Service Representative will also locate the best site for the communicator and install it. Our Home Service Representative won't leave until you have practiced using your "Personal Help Button" to call the Lifeline Response Center, and you feel comfortable using the service.
Is there a lot of equipment involved?
No. There are just two pieces of equipment: your "Personal Help Button" (worn as a pendant or on a wristband) and the communicator.
Do I have to be in the same room as the communicator for it to work?
No. You can be in another room, on a different floor, or even outside in your yard and your signal will still be received. Your "Personal Help Button" is completely waterproof (not just "water-resistant"), so you should wear it in the shower or bath where many falls occur.
How can I be sure the Lifeline equipment is working?
The equipment designed and manufacture by Lifeline Systems is reliable and trouble-free because we design it and manufacture it ourselves. In the unlikely event that you should have a problem that the Monitor cannot correct over the phone, we will do whatever is necessary to solve the problem immediately. We encourage you to press your "Personal Help Button" at least once a month just to let you know that we're here for you.

Rainbow Trout have a varied diet eating a mixture of smaller fish ad insects, almost from the time that they are born. As a rule of thumb you might hear that as Rainbow Trout get older they consume more fish than insects, however insects are always a stable part of their diet.

Rating: 3.67 out of 9 votes cast
Classic Style
Classic style, good fit, lots of colors to choose from. The length is a bit too long, not sure why they come in 32 inch length. Even with a 2 inch heel, they are a bit long. Otherwise, I like them, have worn this style for several years. I agree that they aren't much in the way of tummy control, but it's enough for me. Size 8 is a bit loose in the hips for me but fits my waist.
Timonium MD
Lightweight but nice
I liked the color (smoke grey) and weight of the pants. I am petite and liked the fit of Petite sizing. I agree with the other person who said there was no tummy control. If this is important to you skip these. I would order again for other colors.
NW Indiana
Valparaiso IN
Ordered 2 pair to try. Product says "Tummy Control". There was none. I found the material flimsy/ not durable. Returned my order. Will not reorder.
Nice pants
Good fit, nice material, well made. Purchasedin Leaf and Butter Rum and surprisingly theyare almost neutrals; easy to pair with myexisting tops.
Long Beach, CA
Nice Fit
I purchased the Navy blue in 4P previously and loved it. I'm 5'3" and weigh 115 lb. and I love the Classic Rise so my backside always stays covered. Very comfortable and great look for the office. I just recently purchased more in black and butter rum. The only issue I have is that with the lighter color, there is a noticeable panty-line. It isn't noticeable with black and navy blue. So either the material needs to be a little thicker with lighter colors or the fit needs to be just a hair looser. I normally wear a cardigan or some type of top that covers most of my backside so that is how I deal with that issue.Peach parfait and emerald green will be the next colors I will purchase. They should make this style available in denim jeans.
Fort Lauderdale, FL
Great Pants!!
Have several pairs of these pants. Very dressy and look good. I normally wear a size 6. Ordered and returned to get a size 8. The 6 ran a little small in the waist, 8 is a little bigger in the hips but nothing I couldn't handle.
Shawnee OK
perfect for Florida
These are perfect slacks for winter in Florida...lightweight and nice-looking. Good for both casual and dressier events. I am consistently a 4P at Chadwicks, but had to exchange my order for a 6P, so you might want to size up.
Fit Well
Love these pants. Fit very well. I am considering buying another pair. I have them in Blue.
Baltimore, Maryland
Great Slacks
Please - more colors - pinstripes of any color. These slacks fit well, look well and are VERY comfortable!

Desmond, Clippard, Storen, Zimmermann, Lannan and Zimmerman in the new jerseys.
Updated at 8:21 p.m.
The Nationals debuted their new look tonight, showing off four jerseys for the 2011 season that feature plenty of familiar styles but one big surprise: The word "Nationals" doesn't appear prominently anywhere.
The new home white jersey, which used to include a block "Nationals" across the front, now boasts a red curly W logo on the left breast, with red block numbers on the lower right and red and blue piping down the plackets around the buttons.
All gold has also been removed from the uniforms, leaving the colors simply as red, white and blue.
The road gray uniform is virtually unchanged, aside from a new logo on the left sleeve featuring the curly W inside a circle with the words "Washington Nationals" around it. That's the club's new primary logo, replacing the block "Nationals" atop a baseball that had served as theRead more »
- raymitten - Nov 11, 2010 at 12:16 AM
Love 'em!!! Exactly what I was hoping for. Only wish I could've been there for the unveiling.
- Anonymous - Nov 11, 2010 at 12:19 AM
This way they don't need to remove the big red Fuddrucker's "Nationals" over the scoreboard, which they would have had to do if they shifted to script "Nationals." Clearly a cost-saving move.
- David Lint - Nov 11, 2010 at 12:24 AM
Holy crap, they gave the Nationals Spring Training Jersey for the home uniform. What were they thinking?
- Kevin Rusch, Section406 - Nov 11, 2010 at 12:24 AM
Well, OK. I'd have preferred the nationals script, and the spring 2005 "DC" logo is still my favorite. The DC Logo they use for the July 4 uniform is too big, but that small one with the gold trim was really really nice.Oh well. doesn't matter – i'm still not going until they're above .500 for more than a few days.
- nick - Nov 11, 2010 at 12:30 AM
no Nationals
- Jim Webster - Nov 11, 2010 at 12:32 AM
Hmmm… paving the way for dropping "Nationals" and becoming "Senators" again one day?
- lesatcsc - Nov 11, 2010 at 12:34 AM
Isn't it backwards? Shouldn't the curly W be on the other side? Not keen on the unbalanced look either and the curly W looks like its almost under the armpit. I like the old-fashioned stripe around the neck and down the front but all in all, yuck. Too bad, a missed opportunity.
- Anonymous - Nov 11, 2010 at 12:42 AM
Very nice. Classic look. Lesatcsc, Uh No. Plesase refer to Yankees, Tigers, White Sox, A's etc.
- SpotsyNats - Nov 11, 2010 at 12:55 AM
I guess its an improvement. A bit more traditional but not very creative. Anything, in my opinion, is a much needed improvement over the league-worst NatinalS rush job from five years ago. Road unis, though, are very nice and I'm glad they didn't screw up a good thing there.Baby steps…
- emeany - Nov 11, 2010 at 12:55 AM
Well, at least this will cut down on embarrassing uniform gaffes. It's pretty hard to misspell "W."
- greg - Nov 11, 2010 at 12:55 AM
- lesatcsc - Nov 11, 2010 at 12:56 AM
Okay, but somehow it still looks backwards. Maybe its because of where on the breast they've put the logo. The numbers don't match the style of the logo either. Sorry, I would like to like it, but it just looks to me like someone put it together in the dark. On the up side, it's unlikely they'll make any spelling mistakes on this uni.
- SpotsyNats - Nov 11, 2010 at 1:02 AM
So Drew cashed in 58 for 25? I liked the high number on him but I am biased in favor of both Storen and the number "58" (for the famous FDNY Engine Company 58, the "Fire Factory" from my boyhood days in NYC)
- Jenn Jenson - Nov 11, 2010 at 1:06 AM
My initial reaction … whatever. I hope I like them better in-person, but the patch right next to the W looks odd to me. I'm not thrilled with the jammies piping on every home style, and as a DC resident, I'd really like to see either Washington or DC somewhere.
- Anonymous - Nov 11, 2010 at 1:22 AM
I like 'em. Like the simplicity. Kind of clasic looking.

I'm sort of disappointed. Was looking forward to a script "Nationals." But anything is an improvement on the previous home whites. But, at the very least, this has a chance to grow on me. Definitely does not look "designed by committee" like the old ones.

Wish I could type–"classic." What a time to misspell something related to Nats' uniforms. Good grief.
- SonnyG10 - Nov 11, 2010 at 1:51 AM
I'm not sure how I like them yet. Maybe they'll grow on me. Anyway, they are probably just building up their repertoire of throw-back uniforms.

Constant Reader here. Some guy made this comment on an earlier post back in October. I agreed with him then. I agree with him now."I'll reserve final judgment until I actually see the new look, though I have to say my preference would have been to remove the word "Nationals" from the home jersey altogether and simply go with a red curly W logo on the left breast and some red piping around the collar and down the sides of the front of the jersey. Kind of like the Detroit Tigers' home uniform. I think that's a simple, classic look. I love the script "Washington" on the gray road jerseys, but the word "Nationals" just doesn't look good to me in script. Plus, so many teams have script lettering on their home jerseys, with the traditional underline. Why not do something a little less standard while still maintaining a classic (and uniform) look?"

Of course now that they have real major league uniforms, they're going to need to get a few more real major leaguers to wear them ….

I thought the whole show was really well done. The blue patriotic with the new cap looked great together. They are also changing the road batting helmets I was told.It was cool as I won the first raffle prize which was 2 golf shirts.

This was a wonderful evening. I love the new home whites. Really a classic look. The big news here is that the Nationals-badge look is gone, and the Curly-W look is established for decades to come.

Somehow I think you've known all along this was going to be the new home unis, Mark.

Abandoning the traditional home white uniforms is a serious mistake. They've represented the Nationals since the team arrived in DC. Many fans have rooted for those uniforms for a while now, and surely have begun to develop an emotional attachment to them.I could deal with a few tweaks, if necessary. But it would be much better if the team followed in the footsteps of the Yankees, Dodgers, Red Sox, Tigers and other classy teams that have, more or less, left their uniforms unchanged.Sadly, the Nationals seem uninterested in being a classy team. In fact, their hokey "entertainment," from Clint on down, makes National Park seem more like a cheesy minor league site than a serious, major league ballpark. I think it's short sighted — sort of like the boring Astroturf ballparks from the 70's that seemed "modern" and "practical," but that in retrospect undermined a classic aesthetic that we now appreciate to be central to the game, and that has been resurrected in Camden Yards and all its clones.Tradition is fundamental to baseball. It may be hard to quantify. But that doesn't make it any less important.

Mark did Ian D really say the following…per ladson….It has a classic look to it. It's not so expansion teamish like the block lettering was," Desmond said. "We have a little identity at home now. It will get the fans out there. Hopefully it will inspire more people to come out." ….TRY WINNING IAN>>>>>>that is what will get more fans out to the games….not uniform design….what a DOPE!

From 1907 through 1958 the Nationals/Senators did not display their nickname on their jerseys. For a lot of those years they had a simple block W on the left side of the home jersey. Seems to me that the new unis are a link to a very long tradition of baseball uniforms in Washington, tying in the old Nationals uniforms with the expansion Senators curly W of the '60's. I like that. That's real tradition.

Uggh . . . red reminds me of the Phillies. Gack.
- Jimmy - Nov 11, 2010 at 3:32 PM
Great!! Now we can really look like and be The Phillies AAA farm team. I know now why Stan Kasten invited the Major League fans down to Washington, so they could see their top farm team. I just haven't figured out why the Phillies have not brought up Ryan Zimmerman and a couple others to their Major League team. Philadelphia is the closest team, in our division, to Washington and now we have to dress and look like their team. Even our new caps resemble one of their caps. Stan was smart when he invited the Philly fans here, you couldn't tell who were Philly or Nationals fans. It just made our stadium look fuller.I still say we should be BLUE trimmed in red! We say we were organized in 1905, but we wore BLUE and not red!Great job Mark Lerner, you really made us proud to be Philly fans. Oh! Thats right Philadelphia was our Nations Capitol before Washington.

Play to better than .500 and they can wear burlap sacks, for all I care. Although, it might be a bit difficult to run and field in those…I'm still gonna wear my old gear, though. That's how we'll know each other after they're contending and all the front-runners jump on board. (What? It *could* happen.)

• The BLUE uniform is a frickin' mess again. Wish they would've put a white curly-W in the center of a "double-circle" containing stars (think 2006 sleeve patch). In the background of the inner circle, add red & while stripes. The point is, make the curly-W STAND OUT against all the stars and stripes background! • The WHITE looks like children's pajamas. (Should've been script "Nationals.")• The RED is great! • Unimpressed with new sleeve patch logo…zzzzzzzzz. • They should've updated the interlocking "D.C."!
- Anonymous - Nov 12, 2010 at 4:21 PM
I think it would have been nice to pay some tribute to the Expos with a similar design to this one:http://exhibits.baseballhalloffame.org/dressed_to_the_nines/detail_page.asp?fileName=nl_1991_montreal.gif&Entryid=1697I'm not advocating for pale blue on the road or those weird stripes, but I do like the "curly M" with the number on the upper right front.
- VP81955 - Nov 12, 2010 at 9:11 PM
Generally approve the new look, but…1. I would remove the piping from the white jersey and replace it with blue pinstripes (especially since we know Bryce Harper loves pinstripes!).2. I would move the number higher, making it level with the script "W" (e.g. White Sox, Reds, Schmidt-era Phillies).3. I would keep the blue bill on the road cap, making the front panel red with a white script "W" trimmed in blue. (Think of the early Expos caps, or the Orioles caps circa 1980.)
- Golfersal - Nov 12, 2010 at 9:55 PM
There was a reason that Nats were selling merchandise for 35% off during the last homestand, going to 50% the last game. Of course it wasn't out of the generosity of the heart, it was getting rid of the merchandise.Wish that they would of at least told people that they were changing uniforms so that we wouldn't be wearing yesterdays stuff.Lesson learned in these times of screwing others, buyer beware.

Secure Our Smartphones (S.O.S.)
In 2012, 1.6 million Americans were victimized for their smartphones. This is a growing epidemic affecting all corners of our nation and accounting for a majority of the robberies in our cities. These crimes have led to severe injuries and the loss of life. If manufacturers and carriers do not take immediate action, the problem will only get worse.
Unlike other types of crimes, manufacturers and carriers have the ability to end the growing number of smartphone thefts with a technological solution. The implementation of a "kill switch" would render stolen devices inoperable on any network, anywhere in the world. By eliminating the ability for the phone to be reactivated, the incentive to steal them would be eliminated.
The S.O.S. Initiative, led by New York State Attorney General Eric Schneiderman and San Francisco District Attorney George Gascón, is comprised of law enforcement agencies, elected leaders from across the country and consumer advocates. This coalition will work to urge manufacturers and carriers to deter crime, eliminate the secondhand market for stolen mobile communications devices and prevent their customers from becoming the next victims.
For the latest updates regarding the S.O.S. Initiative, follow the hashtag #SOSInitiative on Twitter.

Recent reviews:
November 28, 2013 - Beautiful... fits an iPad with proper closure, an iPhone in the phone pouch, perfectly, with a zippered section for a wallet or other personal item. Very practical as a small purse. Not to be weighed down, however, per sewn in silk-covered handles.
May 22, 2013 - I ordered 2 turquoise, one for me, one for my best friend. They are so pretty and ornate. After reading some other reviews, I would clarify that this bag is small tote size, or purse sized. One reviewer must have a tiny laptop b/c mine wouldn't be close to fitting. Be aware there is only a snap enclosure, not a zip top which would have been nice. I am using it as a nice summer purse. It holds my big date book, wallet, phone, make-up, sunglasses, etc.,with room to spare.The colors and patterns vary greatly. My turq. bag was much darker & with a "non-flashy" design. My friend's bag was much lighter w/a very pretty jewel tone design.There is a zippered pocket inside the bag for keys, or whatever. Overall, you cannot go wrong with buying this bag. Grab as many as you can while they are on sale, and give them out as gifts, that's what I did.
May 14, 2013 - Perfect size, gorgeious. It has beads and sequins, but doesn't seem "flashy." It is a great size - what I would call purse-size rather than a tote bag. I bought the Purple and the background shade is exactly what they show in the listing. I'm so glad I bought it.
April 21, 2013 - Ordered the turquoise.... simply beautiful!!!!!
January 17, 2013 - Spectacular! The person who got it (green version) can fit her laptop in it, among other things. Extremely beautiful and useful.

PG&E completes timber harvesting cleanup in Humbug Valley
Pacific Gas & Electric Co. completes timber cleanup in Humbug Valley on July 26 as a result of the 2012 Chips Fire burning 368 acres of its property. Photos courtesy Pacific Gas and Electric Co.
Last month Pacific Gas and Electric Co. completed the required chipping and log removal remaining from last year's controversial Humbug Valley timber harvest.
The timber harvesting was a result of the 2012 Chips Fire, which burned through 368 acres of PG&E-owned land. The utility company logged 218 acres of that land after obtaining an emergency logging permit.
Allegations made by the Maidu Summit Consortium that the harvest caused damage to cultural artifacts and protected sites eventually contributed to a decision made by PG&E to suspend further harvesting in that area. Rather than logging the remaining land affected, PG&E decided to only complete work in areas already logged, as required by the emergency logging permit.
The harvest cleanup was completed July 26, leaving unchipped areas where a site of significance was identified intact. No new trees were felled during the cleanup. PG&E processed trees cut last year and sent other wood debris to either an onsite wood chipper or a biomass generator for further processing.
"This greatly reduces future fire risk and improves the forest health by reducing the risk of insect infestation and tree diseases, which can harm the healthy forest," said PG&E spokesman Paul Moreno.
According to Moreno, the company has been working closely with the Maidu throughout its chipping efforts. He said he is "happy to report we have had a good working relationship as we continued the chipping operations. Feedback from them indicated they were pleased with how we performed the work and they appreciated our stepped-up communication before and during the cleanup."
No further action will take place until the Pacific Forest and Watershed Lands Stewardship Council makes a recommendation that land ownership either be transferred to a deserving party or stay with PG&E.
"Although our preference would be to complete the remaining timber harvest and forest restoration work this year, PG&E agreed to continue the temporary suspension of any new timber harvesting until the Stewardship Council has made a recommendation on potential fee title and conservation easement donees," said Moreno.
In 2004, the Stewardship Council was formed as part of the utility company's bankruptcy settlement agreement. The agreement allows for the council to make recommendations for title transfer of more than 140,000 acres of PG&E-owned land.
As the original landowners of Humbug Valley, the Maidu are seeking to reclaim the land by earning the council's recommendation.
An article at maidusummit.org explained, "Throughout time and regardless of deed ownership, these lands have continued to be important to the Maidu. Now that these lands are under the jurisdiction of (the Stewardship Council) and subject to a change in ownership, the Maidu Summit Consortium knows that it is time to return these lands to Maidu ownership.
Moreno said that in addition to the Maidu seeking a recommendation, the California Department of Fish and Wildlife has also expressed interest in acquiring the land.
If recommended as a land donee, the Mountain Maidu plan on using traditional ecological knowledge to restore the fire-damaged forest.
"We want to have a more organic approach to restoration. Maidu people would remove biomass through manpower and distribute it in ways that would benefit the forest. We feel this would be the best way of restoring the area," said Kenneth Holbrook, a delegate for the Maidu Summit.
According to Maidu representative Beverly Benner-Ogle, they expect a final recommendation to be made in November. If a recommendation is made to transfer ownership of the Humbug Valley land, Moreno said, "PG&E will work with the donee to develop a long-term plan to complete the forest restoration activities."
If a recommendation is not made, Moreno said PG&E would assess its options and continue to consult with the tribe on timber harvest. "Essentially the tribe will still be involved in all harvest operations," said Moreno.
"Even though we would prefer to complete the work as planned, we do not believe a suspension will pose a risk to the forest. PG&E will continue to monitor the site for any changes, such as infestation or disease, that would require action to prevent further damage to the remaining forest," said Moreno.

Frozen basil is a wonderful thing to have in the freezer! |
Here's my basil after I trimmed it. Basil will actually produce more leaves if it's vigorously trimmed a few times each year, since everywhere you cut the stem it produces two new stems. Just be sure to keep a few leaves on each stem (remember high school botany, that's where the plant gets food.)
Put a few of handfuls of basil into the food processor, using the steel blade. The food processor bowl should be full, but not tightly packed.
I pulse the food processor with one hand and drizzle olive oil into the feed tube with the other hand, just pulsing until the basil is coarsely chopped. You should make sure that all the basil is coated with oil too, which keeps it from going dark in the freezer. I use about 2-3 tablespoons of olive oil for each batch in the food processor when I'm making coarsely chopped basil like this to use for pasta sauce, soup, or stew during the winter. When I'm making basil puree to add to basil vinaigrette I use more oil and chop the basil much more finely.

REVIEW: The Butler
Lee Daniels' the Butler is a window into time for one man, once a slave, now a butler to the most powerful men on Earth. Cecil Gaines (Forest Whitaker) starts the story as a young boy working the cotton fields with his mother and father. Slaves to the times and held down by a country that does not count them. Anger and action leave this young boy alone which lands him in the main plantation house to work as a proper "House" boy.
Older and finding himself a man with no choices, he sets out to find a better life. Unfortunately, his better life is starving and scared on the streets. With no other skills, he finds himself a job learning to be a proper butler in a small hotel. From there his journey and etiquette move him up to a top hotel in Washington D.C. Then through luck and his training, he finds himself a Butler walking the halls of the White House and serving the President of the United States.
Through the years his story is expanded as he is joined by his family. His wife Gloria (Oprah Winfrey) finds herself alone more than not as her husband lives to serve. While Cecil's oldest son Louis (David Oyelowo) takes to action joining progressive groups all aimed at equality and obtaining the rights we all take for granted today.
Leaving a light touch on history is this farm raised boy who became servant to the kings of America. His proper place holding true as the leaders of the free worked to prove their worth or fall from the grace of this hopeful man in the background. And while he does not join the struggle for what is right, he silently fights and serves as the image of what is proper and is deserving of its own recognition.
This film, while heavy handed at time, does have a strong message to tell. The standpoint of one man and his family looking out at the slow, but ever changing world, is interesting and motivational. The all-star cast also lends credence to what this film promotes; involvement even in small doses can produce something greater and move the story. Forest Whitaker and Oprah Winfrey do a superb job as they hold the cornerstones of this family, sometimes strong and sometimes crumbling they deliver characters with flaws that are more about environment than the choices given to them.
