Online Commentary & Diversions:
• Review: "At every turn, and every turn of the page, in Captain Easy, Soldier of Fortune: The Complete Sunday Newspaper Strips Vol. 1 from Fantagraphics, the reaction is the same: Good Lord, but Roy Crane could draw. ...There are countless pleasures in this first volume of the Captain Easy Sunday pages." – Steve Duin, The Oregonian
• Review: "Of course, the Bradleys story remains the best reason to pick up any of these Hate Annuals, and this time Bagge doesn't disappoint; even though I still can't stand Buddy in his Popeye the Sailor look, this story of wife Lisa wanting to get out of the house (since the kid is in school) and do something for herself, eventually ending up in a two-woman rock band playing in a strip club, is consistently funny and sharply observed." – Johnny Bacardi, Popdose
• Plug: In the Portland Mercury, Floating World's Jason Leivian recommends Mezzo & Pirus's King of the Flies for fans of Paul Verhoeven's 1980 film Spetters: "Similar stories of fucked up youngsters spiraling into a black hole of self destruction with incredibly rendered artwork that will appeal to fans of Charles Burns."
• Plug: "If you've not checked out Luba by Gilbert Hernandez, you should. Especially if you live in LA. ... Luba is as funny and delightful as ever in these stories (some super short one-pagers, others much longer, over a hundred stories in this collection) of her and her family and the play between their work lives and personal lives is comical and poignant and over the top in classic Hernandez style." – Callie Miller, LAist (via Robot 6)
• Plug: "I've spent most of this week reading "Plunder Island," the fourth and latest collection of classic Popeye comics from Fantagraphics. This is the third time I've read this material... and it still never fails to enthrall me. In fact, I think Popeye has knocked Peanuts and Krazy Kat out of my personal canon to become my MOST FAVORITE COMIC EVER at the moment. There's just something about E.C. Segar's blend of melodrama, adventure and unrestrained, big-footed comedy that really knocks my socks off." – Chris Mautner, Robot 6
• Interview: Via ¡Journalista!: "New to the TCJ Audio Archive: Over an hour of excerpts from Arn Saba's 1979 interview with Prince Valiant creator Hal Foster, recorded toward the end of Foster's life and originally published in The Comics Journal #102," and also reprinted in The Definitive Prince Valiant Companion
• Profile: "Other comics publishers have fallen all over themselves trying to leverage a hoped-for crossover appeal into the mainstream of culture in the last twenty or so years. Meanwhile, Fantagraphics has hung surprisingly tight to their mission statement. But the bigger surprise for me came from learning that Fantagraphics still runs its publishing operation out of the same full-to-bursting house in Maple Leaf where they first planted their Seattle roots in 1989." – E. Magnuson, In North Seattle (Seattle P-I)
• Contest: One lucky person will win a free copy of The Squirrel Machine by Hans Rickheit from Kevin Church, who describes the book as "beautifully drawn, disturbing and sad"
• Links: Love & Maggie highlights some recent Hernandez Bros. -related web action
• PSA: In a letter to the editor of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, Jean Schulz warns collectors to be on the lookout for counterfeit original Peanuts art (via Mike Lynch via ¡Journalista!) — I guess this lady needn't worry

In an interview [video] with the CBS show 60 Minutes, the founder-and-chief of the controversial secrets site Wikileaks discusses the recent backlash against his site, following the release of U.S. Military and State Department secrets. He states, "The U.S. does not have the technology to take the site down . ... Just the way our technology is constructed, the way the Internet is constructed." He adds, "We've had attacks on particular domain names. Little pieces of infrastructure knocked out. But we now have some 2,000 fully independent in every way websites, where we're publishing around the world. It is -- I mean, it's not possible to do." Assange is referring to the fact that his site lost its central domain name, most of its official hosting, and its donations accounts. Volunteers, who host mirrors of the webpage, now sustain the site. Attempting to access Wikileaks or searching for it in Google results in visitors being redirected to one of these mirrored sites. While the issue of what Wikileaks has done is hot in the minds of many, much of the 60 Minutes interview focuses on the site's threats that it will release damning information implicating a major U.S. bank in wrongdoing. In an October 2009 interview with the International Data Group's publication ComputerWorld, Mr. Assange claimed to possess a hard drive with a wealth of information from the Bank of America. In an interview with top business periodical Forbes, which took place in late November, Wikileaks' Assange claimed to be preparing a "megaleak", which would likely lead to a major U.S. financial institution (presumably Bank of America) being investigated and potentially charged by international authorities. During the 60 Minutes special, interest was high on the topic, but the interviewer's attempt to extract more info from Mr. Assange was largely rebuffed. He states, "I won't make any comment in relation to that upcoming publication." But he did express that he gains pleasure from the ill effects on the financial world his news is causing. He states, "I think it's great. We have all these banks squirming, thinking maybe it's them." The interview did not touch on a significant point in that regard -- the question of whether any Wikileaks members -- including Mr. Assange -- had profited off the stock shifts triggered by the organization's new releases. Some have suggested that Mr. Assange and Wikileaks may be using its new releases to profit on the stock market. Using certain mechanisms the site could selectively release news, dropping a commercial entity's stock price, making money off the drop. Indeed, the Bank of America's share price dropped 3 percent in late 2010 on speculation that it was in Wikileaks crosshairs. The actual release could drop stock further. It would be relatively easy for someone affiliated with the site or its members to exploit the financial repercussions of the site's actions. Wikileaks is a relatively loosely organized and regulated operation, with less than a dozen full time staff members, by almost all accounts. The site publishes no details of its operating procedures or finances. Unfortunately, that question, like many others (Mr. Assange's self-labeling as an "anarchist" in the 1990s) went unasked in the 60 Minutes interview. Update: Tuesday, Feb. 1, 2011: Some seemed to imply that we were making up allegations that Wikileaks was manipulating the stock market to profit itself or its financiers. This is absolutely not the case. Those capable of a quick Google search should be able to find a number of stories on this topic, such as: "Wikileaks is harmful now, but could become even more destructive" -- Kansas City Star Which writes:
Shares in Bank of America dropped 3 percent Tuesday. Although they recovered Wednesday, banking analyst Dick Bove said on CNBC that this may represent a new means of stock-market manipulation, by which the unknown funders of Wikileaks could profit by cratering shares in targeted companies.
Also some challenged whether Assange was ever really an anarchist. Well he said he was, at least at one time, back in the 90s. In the book Underground: Tales of Hacking, Madness and Obsession on the Electronic Frontier by Suelette Dreyfus, which Mr. Assange edited, researched, and contributed text to, an autobiographical passage by Assange describes:
As he quietly backed out of the system, wiping away his footprints as he tip-toed away, Mendax [Assange] thought about what he had seen. He was deeply disturbed that any hacker would work for the US military.
Hackers, he thought, should be anarchists, not hawks.
quote: Dude, you can't argue the side of butchers and murderers. So give it up.
quote: Killing 3000 innocent civilians in one terrorist attack is not justifiable, ever.
quote: First let me say I did not agree the actions taken on 9/11 by the terrorist
quote: but I do understand them and to a degree even would have condone the attack on pentagon, CIA and even the white house, just because of the history of damage US foreign policy has done to the middle east.
quote: I scoff at you saying the BBC is neutral. BBC is as biased as the rest of them. The BBC owns broadcast media in the UK, they are just as biased as the rest of them.
quote: If Saudi troops were stationed in the Vatican we would probably pray and hope the occupiers leave before shedding more blood. The Pope would ask that noone do anything of violence. that is the difference man, an extremist christian will give up their life to let an infidel live...
quote: It is a complicated answer. The real beginnings started a lot early in the '20's when a young Vietnamese nationalist, who would eventually be known as Ho Chi Minh, was in the U.S. studying. He wrote letters to the U.S. presidents asking for their help in ridding his country of French colonialism. They were ignored. During WWII, this same person was contacted by the U.S. military, and told that in return for Vietnamese help in fighting the Japanese, after the war was over, the U.S. would help Vietnam achieve independence from the French. This promise was broken, and various factions of Vietnamese under the eventual command of Minh, united to fight the occupying military of France. Much of the cost of the French presence in Vietnam was borne by the U.S. from the very beginning under the guise of fighting communistic expansion. After the peace accords were signed in 1954-55, one of the stipulations was that Vietnam was to be divided into two countries with elections to be held withing two years in each section regarding total unification into one country. It was the South Vietnam portion, under the control of their U.S. backed gov't that refused to hold these elections. Thus basically the war was born again. It was not so much a war of communistic aggresion, as it was a civil war to reunite the country as a whole. The main reasons it was perceived as a communist threat, were some of the ideology's of the north, and the fact that they North turned to communist countries for the supplies and support they would need in their fight, since the U.S. would not provide them with any aid, and the U.S. clearly sided with the consistently corrupt regimes of the southern divide.Then the Tonkin Gulf Incident/Lie Launched Vietnam War.
quote: Before invading Kuwait – the incident that led to the first Gulf War, which led us to put troops on Saudi soil, which led Osama to declare war against us, which led to 9/11, and which also all led to the current Iraq War – before Saddam ever invaded Kuwait, back when he was our ally, he asked us if we would mind if he invaded Kuwait.

This is the house of a Brazil nut farmer located in Tambopata which is in South eastern Peru. Brazil nuts are harvested and used for their oil which has a rich taste. The oil is also used as a lubricant in clocks, and for making artists' paints. You can also coat them with sugar and eat them. Brazil nuts are really popular in the Peruvian jungle and some of the native women can be found along the Tambopata river banks selling them to tourists and also in the markets in Puerto Maldonado. Brazil nut farming can be a dangerous job and some farmers get hurt when the Brazil nuts fall on their heads. You can see the hard hats that they use in the pano.
South America makes up the southern half of the Americas and a large part of Latin America. It's home to the world's longest mountain range, biggest waterfall and largest river -- even these mammoths pale in comparison to the stunning variety of life forms thriving in the rainforest. To the northwest, off the coast of Ecuador, lie the Galapagos Islands, which are unique for hosting species not found anywhere else on earth. These were the subject of study for Charles Darwin in his theory of evolution, which he himself said will require proof in every single case. The main languages in South America are Spanish and Portugese, which basically tells you which European countries colonized the place. The South American wars of independence took place over two decades in the early 19th century, led by Simon Bolivar of Venezuela and Jose san Martin of Argentina. Following liberation from Portugal and Spain, South America took off into its own development, capitalizing on the rich deposits of oil, gold, copper, silver and tango musicians. Brazil is the largest country in South America and home to one of the world's best parties, Carnaval. Have you heard of samba music? How about bossa nova? Maybe dancing for three days straight? I can't say enough good things about South America. All the world's continents have amazing secrets and treasures laying in wait for your discovery, but in South America... just have a look at our pictures while you're waiting for online confirmation of your plane tickets to hit your inbox.Text by Steve Smith.

Girls track plans competitive season
In his third year as head coach of the Dell Rapids High School girls varsity track team, Mike Putnam said he's relying on a strong group of seniors to help lead the team through a successful season.With seniors Corynn Hoff, Karen Eddy, Morgan Hoglund, Rachel Devlin, Margo Hegge and Cassidy Wright leading the way, the Quarriers hope to outwork their competitors and improve on a 13th place team finish at last year's state meet.Wright had a fifth place state discus finish in 2012.In all, the eight returning seniors on the team are more upper classmen than Putnam's ever had on a team."I put a lot on our seniors, and we have really good senior leaders this year," Putnam said. "It's a lot easier when you have that many kids that can be there to help lead your team." Though not a senior, Putnam said junior Maddie Vietor is expected to have a strong season as she's coming off a second place state meet finish in the long jump and a third place state finish in the triple jump.As a team, if injuries are at a minimum, Putnam said the seas of placing high at state this year is very obtainable."We just always want to be competitive," he said."Every meet we go to, we want to be toward the top. It doesn't matter what meet it is, we want to be in the mix until the very end."

I love this scent...although I havent' received any compliments. I own so far 3 of creed's cologne and this is my favorite. This is a fresh, clean scent. It's light, refreshing exhilarating. I have read on some reviews that this scent from Creeds line is one of the least favorites. For me it is so far my favorite.

Karl Urban was a great part of this cast. He took the character to a new and different level. That might be my favorite part of the film.
It is a day of posters here at Mania. Check out these two new character posters of for Sulu (John Cho) and Bones (Karl Urban) from Star Trek Into Darkness. Cho had very little screen time in the last one, hopefully there will be more of Sulu in the film. As for Karl Urban, well I don't think anyone could have been cast better has Leonard "Bones" McCoy.
Synopsis: In Summer 2013, pioneering director J.J. Abrams will deliver an explosive action thriller that takes Star Trek Into Darkness. When the crew of the Enterprise is called back home, they find an unstoppable force of terror from within their own organization has detonated the fleet and everything it stands for, leaving our world in a state of crisis. With a personal score to settle, Captain Kirk leads a manhunt to a war-zone world to capture a one man weapon of mass destruction. As our heroes are propelled into an epic chess game of life and death, love will be challenged, friendships will be torn apart, and sacrifices must be made for the only family Kirk has left: his crew.
Star Trek Into Darkness stars Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto, Zoe Saldana, Karl Urban, John Cho, Bruce Greenwood, Simon Pegg, Anton Yelchin, Benedict Cumberbatch, Alice Eve and Peter Weller.
Star Trek Into Darkness arrives on May 17th, 2013.
Karl Urban was a great part of this cast. He took the character to a new and different level. That might be my favorite part of the film.
I like Sulu's near-classic uniform and I wish Bones had his on for the poster. Personally, I hope we see the cast in the near-classic uniforms for most of the movie instead of the other ones. I think the classic uniforms look better with the brighter colors.
And I don't understand why Hollywood seems to be making traditional colors darker and duller. Superman's uniform in "Man of Steel" and the Falcon's outfit in the new Captain America movie come to mind.

Me, personally, I never expect the unexpected. I simply expect life to be as it is. I focus on the here and now, not yesterday or tomorow. Yet I am prepaired to deal with things that I have trouble accepting, understanding and living with. I expect and accept that not everything will be comfortable for me to handle, therefore I am prepared to maintain my recovery during a turmoilish experience.
Maybe I am just playing with words, but I have built a path to follow when I am in a new neighborhood.
Peace, Serenity and Recovery,
The Spiritman

Love this Blazer
This blazer goes with EVERYTHING. I wear it with slacks, jeans, skirts...you name it. I dress it up, wear it casual...I purchased in the store for 50% off, wish I had looked online first! Great buy!

Sharp 2-Button Blazer
I love this blazer I bought two weeks ago because its so perfect fit and very soft. I can wear it with jeans or I can wear it with a skirt at the office. I highly recommended!

Good Jacket
This is a good jacket. It fit me very well, except for the sleeve length, but I always have to take those in no matter where I buy it.
I wish the quality of the fabric was of a bit better, but overall it is not a bad jacket especially if you can get it on sale.
September 4, 2013
Love it!
I get so many compliments on this when I wear it! It's very professional and classic. It's surprisingly comfortable and it fits me great. The picture does not do it justice. The only criticism that I have is that I had a hard time with the website in figuring out which Navy pants would match exactly. I ended up taking a chance and the pair that I got look amazing with it.
I work at a bank, and this is very work / Interview friendly. Looks great with a white shirt.
August 30, 2013
classic for work
I bought this blazer awhile ago and it is a serious workhorse for my office wardrobe. I wore it with matching pants for an interview and I've also got the matching skirt which looks great. On casual Fridays it also works great to dress up jeans and an Oxford button-up or even a chic top. It's a classic silhouette with solid construction.
August 25, 2013
Great Classic Item
I bought this blazer for my medical residency interviews and it looks great. It is very classy, the material is light and it gives you shape, you don't look like a box. I also got the matching pants and skirt for my interview outfit.

Thank you for the question! This jacket is, indeed, being phased out so we will not be getting any additional inventory in it. However, we do have a new navy suit that just debuted that we think you might like. The item number is 2516025 for the jacket and 7263873 for the skirt. Thanks again!1 year, 8 months ago

Rogue Valley Pregnancy Center ultrasound unveiling
A new tool is now ready to be used by the Rogue Valley Pregnancy Center thanks to the donations of the Knights of Columbus, Oregon Right to Life, and from private sources.
A $21,000 ultra sound machine is coming on line for the more than one thousand yearly clients who come to the clinic. The head of the center says to see the real life image of a baby in the womb can be a relief to those who have the ultra-sound.
A ribbon cutting for the ultrasound and new facilities will be held at the pregnancy resource center in Medford tomorrow (Thursday) night at 6:30.

Modeling Convective Heat Transfer under Laminar Flow of a Newtonian Fluid in Simple Geometries
B. Baron, and E. Gutierrez-MiraveteDepartment of Engineering and Science, Rensselaer at Hartford, Hartford, CT, USA
This paper reports on a series of studies using COMSOL Multiphysics, carried out to investigate the phenomena of fully developed and developing laminar flows of a Newtonian fluid initially at constant temperature, between parallel plates and through circular tubes, where heat exchange takes place at the interface between the fluid and the plates or the tube wall.
Selected numerical results were compared with existing analytical solutions that were in turn computed using Maple.
The validated COMSOL models constitute excellent teaching and learning tools that contribute to and facilitate understanding of complex convection heat transfer problems.

TrueModern makes use of calm, familiar colors and a strong, singular sense of design to produce furniture that is at once cutting edge and right at home. TrueModern designs are often low-slung and near to the floor, reminiscent of the work of Charles and Ray Eames and other accomplished mid-century designers. They come to you pre-assembled, with an emphasis on customer service and that little seen adjective in the world of modern furniture - delight.
TrueModern was founded in 2005 by Edgar Blazona, to meet a need he saw. A parent, he was bored with the kids' furniture designs he found in today's market - so he made some himself. TrueModern is distinguished by clean design that hearkens back to mid-century influences like Charles and Ray Eames and Richard Neutra, employing familiar colors with an additional modern feel. Placing importance on the consumer's needs led TrueModern to ship furniture fast and pre-assembled - a simple calling card of quality and service in a crowded market.

Restaurant owners blast proposal to tax employees' tips as business' income
Until last year, the state Department of Revenue Administration accepted BET payments based on the hourly wages paid to workers, which in the hospitality industry are usually around $3.27 an hour - the discount off the minimum wage allowed by the state in anticipation of tips.
For a profitable restaurant, the change would increase the deduction against the business profits tax, and could be a wash. But for an unprofitable or break-even business, the change would mean a significant increase in taxes.
"When we open a new restaurant, maybe the first two years of business you are not profitable, so it would greatly affect the potential for restaurants to open up, because that BET would be a substantial hit for that new restaurant trying to open," he said.
Somers said lodging and restaurant association members started getting audit letters earlier this year from the DRA, regarding unaccounted tips in 2012 BET tax returns.
"From the inception of the tax in 1993 until January of 2008, tips were specifically excluded from the calculation of the BET," said Somers. In 2008, administrative rules were changed to make state tax rules correspond with federal IRS requirements, but the collection practices did not change.
The DRA later cited confusion over previous directives, and agreed that the state would not seek back taxes over the issue, but would expect the tips to be built into the tax calculations moving forward.
Tips not counted
Having failed to get an administrative solution, Somers turned to the Legislature and got the support of Republican Sens. Jeb Bradley and Bob Odell, among others.
Boucher, who has been in the restaurant business for 28 years, said he has never included tips in his BET calculations and doesn't know anyone who has.

Some typos: opencl > opencl, and sis cpu > sis gpu.
Phoronix: Mesa Kills Old Hardware Support: No More 3dfx Voodoo
The death sentence to legacy Mesa drivers was carried out over the night. All DRI1 drivers have been removed from the Mesa tree along with support for BeOS and other old code, in an effort to remove drivers that receive little maintenance and are just causing a greater burden in re-factoring core Mesa code for the modern drivers. This means though that the Linux desktop loses its support for hardware like VIA Unichrome and 3dfx Voodoo graphics cards...
Some typos: opencl > opencl, and sis cpu > sis gpu.
*opencl > opengl, heh. Typoed my typo fix.
Let's not get carried away. The linux desktop looses support FOR DOING 3D in such hardware, a thing that for many hasn't worked correctly in years, and that I doubt even current users of the hardware still use -- even Tux Racer is slow on this hardware.This means though that the Linux desktop loses its support for hardware like VIA Unichrome and 3dfx Voodoo graphics cards.
The most important parts of the software stack for this hardware are the Xorg drivers which provide 2D acceleration and Xv overlays.
These I hope they don't remove because it makes a hell of a difference, especially on old hardware, between having 2d accel or just VESA.
Besides, the whole X stack is supposed to be killed by Wayland, so why not let it all die together.
i had hopes of reinstalling my dusty 3dfx Voodoo !!
man, those were the good ol' times
How many left?The Mesa code-base was trimmed up by over 100,000 lines of code in an effort to modernize the stack and reduce the maintenance burden for Mesa/X.Org developers.

Struggling Crew hopes Garza can shut down Cubs
Hendricks looks to close out sweep, continue strong rookie year
The Brewers spent 149 days in first place this season, grabbing hold of the top spot in the National League Central on April 5 and holding onto their perch atop the division until Aug. 31. Nine losses in 11 games and seven straight defeats will do that to you.
The outlook got even worse on Tuesday evening when Milwaukee learned that a sprained left wrist could sideline All-Star Carlos Gomez for multiple weeks. The outfielder will not resume physical activity until at least Sunday.
"It's never good to lose a good player, a spark plug leadoff guy that can do some damage in the leadoff spot. So it's bad timing," Brewers manager Ron Roenicke said. "I'm happy it's not something worse. You're not talking about surgery, so I'm glad about that."
Trailing the Cardinals by two games in the NL Central, the Brewers hope they can rely on a rejuvenated Matt Garza, who owns a 2.13 ERA in his past six starts.
"I'm fine -- healthy, strong and just glad to be able to pitch in again," Garza said.
Garza will face former teammates as he pitches opposite Cubs right-hander Kyle Hendricks, who has been stellar for Chicago in a limited capacity. Hendricks is 5-1 with a 1.91 ERA in nine starts this season.
Wednesday will mark Garza's 30th career start at Wrigley Field, his most at any NL ballpark. Perhaps the familiarity will only help him improve his 2.74 career ERA when surrounded by brick and ivy.
"You know, it could [help]," Garza said. "I don't really look too much into it. I know the guys on the other side are going to try to hit the ball as hard as I can, just like I'm going to try my best to get them out. That's kind of the way it goes anywhere you pitch."
Cubs: Baez hoping to halt slump
• There's no denying Javier Baez has had some impressive moments since joining Chicago on Aug. 5, but the 21-year-old has been scuffling at the plate as of late. He has hit .095 (4-for-42) with two extra-base hits, one walk and 17 strikeouts since Aug. 24 as the Cubs have gone 6-4 despite his batting woes.
Brewers: Lucroy nearing record for two-baggers
• Thirty-nine of Jonathan Lucroy's Major League-leading 46 doubles this year have come in games when he was playing catcher, placing him only six away from tying Ivan Rodriguez's record of 45 as a backstop set with the Rangers in 1996.
Lucroy is only four doubles away from doubling last season's total of 25 as his career-high 46 two-baggers already outnumber the 42 total he notched in each of the previous two seasons.
Worth noting
• Both Rickie Weeks and Francisco Rodriguez are near career milestones as Weeks needs only two more hits to reach 1,000 while Rodriguez only needs one more save for his fifth season of 40 or more saves and his first since 2008.
• Yovani Gallardo fanned four Cubs on Tuesday night to tie Ben Sheets for Milwaukee's all-time franchise strikeouts record of 1,206.
• Despite hitting only a combined .221 (115-for-521), Cubs third basemen share the Major League lead with the Athletics for most home runs from the hot corner this season at 26.

Tax plan will boost Jindal
Published: Tuesday, January 29, 2013 at 6:07 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, January 29, 2013 at 6:07 p.m.
In 2003, one would have been hard-pressed to find a stronger Bobby Jindal supporter than I. By 2007, I remained cautiously optimistic, but with the passage of time, I became more and more disillusioned and have even written prior letters to the editor quite critical of him.
Simply put, I questioned the level of his fiscal conservativeness (very important to me), and I detested his pandering to the perceived "moral superiority" crowd and those who seemingly despise diversity. I firmly believe that the two latter traits are, for any politician, a formula for disaster regarding national politics, and I believe the recent re-election of President Barack Obama demonstrates that fact.
Gov. Jindal's recent proposal to abolish the Louisiana state income tax, however, will, I believe, cause his national political stock to skyrocket. I'll turn 50 in September, and I have already been evaluating states in which I may live my "golden years" that don't impose income taxes. To believe people don't factor that aspect in their decisions is ludicrous.
With Louisiana out-migration goes not only the punitive income tax revenue the departing resident paid but also the sales taxes from all the restaurants at which he ate. Also, the income tax is nothing more than a mechanism for legalized vote-buying at the Legislature, entailing all of the exemptions and credits that get handed out each year.
Gov. Jindal, upon getting his proposal to scrap this tax signed into law, truly will have demonstrated to the nation that he can be a fiscal conservative.
Heck, if he abolishes small boards and commissions like the Interior Design Board, which have been proven by well-respected scholars to be job-killers and oppressive to minorities (visit www.abolish-idb.com for details), his stock may even elevate to the level of a presidential contender, like outgoing Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels, who refused to even sign into law interior design licensing regulations.
Just like with stocks, which can fluctuate wildly with varying conditions, so can the political fortunes of politicians like Gov. Jindal. With his latest proposal to abolish Louisiana's state income tax, I predict his national political stock is set to skyrocket!

COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION Our Old Monkeyshine Ale is an exceptional example of a true, traditional-style English Pub beer. Nimbus Old Monkeyshine Ale is medium bodied and possesses a distinct, dark roasted flavor. Its sweet malty taste is derived from liberal use of seven varieties of specialty malts and a touch of brown sugar. Our Old Monkeyshine Ale is dark in color, beginning with a slight caramel malt overtone and rounded with a relatively dry finish from its English Kent Goldings hops. The hops aroma is mildly subdued and the bitterness is just enough to balance the profile of this beer. Nimbus Old Monkeyshine Ale is a true premium ale and is priced accordingly. Were so proud of this beer for its body, taste, alcohol content and drinking enjoyment, it may just become our signature beer. Be warned: its wonderful malty sweetness camouflages the 8.0% alcohol by volume content. Its a winner!

- "...You-Know-Who and his followers sent the Dark Mark into the air whenever they killed. The terror it inspired...you have no idea, you're too young. Just picture coming home and finding the Dark Mark hovering over your house, and knowing what you're about to find inside... Everyone's worst fear...the very worst."
- —Arthur Weasley[src]
The Dark Mark is the symbol of Lord Voldemort and his Death Eaters. It refers both to a magically induced brand that every Death Eater bears on his or her inner left forearm, and to the same symbol conjured in the air by the spell Morsmordre.
The Dark Mark appears as a glittering green skull with a snake protruding from its mouth. This might have been inspired by the hiding place of the Basilisk in the Chamber of Secrets. When summoned, the basilisk would emerge from the mouth of Salazar Slytherin. The serpent is also the symbol of Slytherin house, and thus appropriate to be used by the Heir of Slytherin.
The symbol might also be related to the fact that Lord Voldemort was a Parselmouth, a gift he thought made him unlike the rest of the wizarding world. The Dark Mark on the forearm is black, while the Dark Mark conjured by Morsmordre is green, this is most likely for more contrast with each respective background as a black Dark Mark would be hard to see in the night sky.
On the arm
- "The werewolf might be allowed to wear Death Eater robes when they wanted to use him, but only Voldemort's inner circle were branded with the Dark Mark: Greyback had not been granted this highest honour."
- —Harry Potter on Fenrir Greyback's lack of a Dark Mark[src]
An inactive Dark Mark appears as a faint mark on the inner part of the left forearm, similar to that of "a vivid red tattoo"; an active one is jet black.
Lord Voldemort placed the Dark Mark brand on his followers' inner left forearms both as a sign of their loyalty to him and as a method of summoning them to him when he desired. This was done by pressing his wand to any Death Eater's Mark, which turns it jet black and delivers a burning sensation to any person with the Dark Mark. Feeling the burn, the Death Eaters then Apparate to Voldemort's side.[1] Death Eaters could also use it to signal Voldemort by pressing on their Dark Marks. Bearing this mark also allows the Death Eaters to bypass a cursed barrier that is also invented by Voldemort.[2] During the height of the Second Wizarding War, they were under orders to only signal Voldemort if they had successfully captured Harry Potter, or face severe penalties. The brands faded to scars with the death of the Dark Lord. There is no possible way of getting rid of the Dark Mark.
Only Voldemort's inner circle were branded with the Dark Mark, which was considered a great honour among his followers. Thus, people like the Snatchers never received one.[3] After Voldemort was defeated for the final time, the dark marks faded to a scar, similar to Harry's lightning-bolt scar. They would no longer burn, but would remain nevertheless.Hermione Granger used the Protean Charm to create special coins for Dumbledore's Army, which would heat up when signaling a meeting, and she claimed that she indeed got the idea from the Dark Mark. However, instead of burning them onto the members' arms, she decided to use coins, something that Harry agreed was better.
In the sky
As a signature of their work, the Death Eaters can also use a spell to create an image of the Dark Mark in the sky. The incantation of this spell is Morsmordre. The appearance of the one in the sky is basically the same as the one on the forearm, but green in colour.
Notable uses include in the woods during the 1994 Quidditch World Cup Final, when it was cast by Barty Crouch Jr., and over the Astronomy Tower of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry by Gibbon in 1997. It normally appears where there has been death by the hands of Death Eaters or Lord Voldemort.
The other form of the Dark Mark has been seen when Voldemort touches the Dark Mark branded on an arm, a skull forms in the sky above and the alerted Death Eaters apparate out of its mouth instead of a snake.
Behind the scenes
- Fred and George Weasley created Edible Dark Mark for their joke shop.
- The Dark Mark in the sky and on the Death Eaters' arms are different in appearance. The one in the sky is plainly a skull with a snake coming out straight out of its mouth, while the brand on Death Eater's arm is much more intricate and detailed, the snake being much longer and winding.
- The spells used to brand and conjure the Dark Mark were likely invented by Lord Voldemort. He may have based the spell on the Protean Charm, as Hermione Granger mentioned in 1995 that the Dark Mark inspired her to use the Protean Charm to create the method of communication used by Dumbledore's Army.
- Peter Pettigrew, despite being a low-ranking soldier for his cowardice and lacking skills, is branded with a Dark Mark. However, he is not given the same respect as the other Death Eaters would receive, and is instead treated as a lowly household servant by both his master and his colleagues. Voldemort would use it shortly after his resurrection to summon his other Death Eaters
- When Harry mentions that the Dumbledore's Army coin reminds him of the Death Eaters' brands, he incorrectly refers to the brand as a scar.
- In Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, the Dark Mark is cast by Gibbon in order to lure Dumbledore to the Astronomy Tower. In the film version, the Mark is cast by Bellatrix Lestrange in celebration after Dumbledore's death.
- In the beginning of the fourth film, the skull and snake appear as a green glowing light, brightening like an Aurora, while later in the same film and twice in the sixth film, the skull is moulded from the clouds. There also seems to be no serpent jutting out of the mouth of the skull.
- At the near end of the fourth film, when Barty Jr. held Harry inside his office, he kept rubbing Harry's wound where Pettigrew cut him, using the blood to form a crude form of the Dark Mark.
- In the books and in the back cover of the Scholastic edition of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, the Dark Mark is depicted by Mary GrandPré as being a group of green glowing stars, like a monstrous constellation. Otherwise in the movie adaptations, they are either shaped from the clouds or made of glittering green light
- In the film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, Draco Malfoy openly displays his Dark Mark to Albus Dumbledore. In the novel, it is not verified that Draco received the Mark, though it was highly speculated by Harry Potter that it was what Draco showed Borgin as a form of intimidation.
- In LEGO Harry Potter Years 1-4, during the Quidditch World Cup, you can see the shadow of Barty Crouch Jr when the ring of fire comes, Death Eaters stay and attack, however, they flee in the book and movie.

In 1995, Raf Simons left the career he'd trained for — in industrial and furniture design — to become a menswear designer. With no formal instruction, the self-taught Simons gambled on an eponymous label that melded the rebellious energy of youth subcultures with the precision of classical tailoring. Simons's particular blend of modern proportion, textural interplay, and innovative shapes was so successful that the Belgian designer's menswear quickly rose to prominence as one of the most forward-looking lines in Europe. In 2005, Simons took over as head designer for Jil Sander, and a year later he launched the diffusion line Raf by Raf Simons. With the addition of his Fred Perry collaboration (begun in 2008), Simons manages to keep busy working on four lines at once. An impressive fashion career for an industrial design student.

11 Ways To Dress A Not-Slim Body
WANTED: My waistline. It hasn't been seen since approximately May 2002, when my baby-carrying belly popped. One gift of motherhood is that I haven't had much time to mourn my shape's disappearance. Recently, though, I had a body panic attack: I had two events to attend, and I no great outfits for them. I needed a dress, bad. I needed my waist even more.
Then a fairy godmother arrived in my email in-box: Kimberly Garrett of Plush Fashion Styling, to be exact. Formerly part of the celeb dressing team at Polo Ralph Lauren, she's helped style Blake Lively, Julianne Moore and Debra Messing; she's also worked with the wardrobe designers on Gossip Girl and Sex and the City 2. Turns out she now specializes in working with New York City moms, and she was up for lending me—non-celeb me!—her expertise for events. Free. Was I interested?
Two words: HELL yeah.
We met in person at MaxMara on New York City's Madison Avenue. Kimberly looked just as chic as I'd expected, and she's nice, too, so I instantly felt comfortable. Then she started grabbing dresses off the racks. I looked on, horrified, especially when she picked a turquoise blue wrap dress. A bright color?! A dress that was going to cling to my body?! What was she thinking?
I tried on dress after dress: OK, not bad, no way. Then I slipped on the turquoise blue one. Wait, could it be? My waist! Found! I couldn't believe my eyes. It wasn't like I'd suddenly morphed into Gisele or anything, but the dress gave me shape that even Spanx hadn't. "When you go against your usual type' of clothes, you may be pleasantly surprised by how something makes you look and feel," Kimberly said.
Given that I wasn't going to be able to haul her along on shopping trips for the rest of my life, I asked for her best advice. "Once in a while, bring your most honest friend when you shop!" she said. "That may not necessarily be your best friend, but the one who's going to tell you the truth about how things fit. Also, get past size-phobia! Some clothing runs small. Don't feel bad about trying on stuff that's one or two sizes up from what you usually wear."
Here, top tips for the most flattering ways to dress a non-slim body (and, wait for it, one amazing Spanx pick).

CHARACTER Miguel | |
Appearance(s): | Grand Theft Auto III Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories |
Full name: | Miguel |
Status: | Deceased |
Gender: | Male |
Place of birth: | Colombia |
Date of death: | 2001 |
Home: | Liberty City |
Nationality: | Colombian |
Main affiliation: | Catalina (Formerly) Colombian Cartel |
Vehicle(s): | Cartel Cruiser Patriot Stallion Banshee |
Businesses: | Drug dealing |
Voiced by: | Al Espinosa (GTA III) Unknown (GTA Liberty City Stories) |
- "Please amigo, don't leave me with her, she psycho chica!"
- ― Miguel
Miguel was a character in the Grand Theft Auto series who appears as a main character and the tertiary antagonist of Grand Theft Auto III (set in 2001) and as a minor character in Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories (set in 1998).
Miguel is co-leader of the Colombian Cartel along with Catalina, and is involved in the gang's narcotics trade.
In GTA III Miguel is voiced by Al Espinosa, who has also appeared in such programs as Law & Order, but the voice actor for his appearance in GTA Liberty City Stories is uncredited.
Miguel is born in Colombia and at some point prior to 1998 moves to Liberty City, joining the Colombian Cartel, becoming a prominent member of the gang.
Events of GTA Liberty City Stories
Miguel frequently sells drugs from Portland Harbor to the Leone Family and meets Toni Cipriani in a deal in 1998 that is later ambushed by the Liberty City Police Department. Toni Cipriani seemingly kills Miguel, who manages to survive. He continues to climb the ranks of the Cartel and, following the death of Cisco, becomes one of the gang's co-leaders.
Events of GTA III
In 2001 he meets Catalina and Claude as they arrive in the city and helps them rob a bank as their getaway driver. After Catalina shoots Claude and leaves him for dead, Miguel escapes the police with Catalina. Catalina and Miguel begin to increase the gang's influence in the city by stepping up the production of the drug SPANK from a freighter in Portland Harbor and also begin to work against the Leone Family, exchanging Leone secrets for SPANK with barman Curly Bob. Their operations, however, are stopped by Claude who, on orders from Don Salvatore Leone, kills Curly Bob and then destroys the freighter containing the SPANK factory.
Claude, after moving to Staunton Island, begins to work for Donald Love, first rescuing the Old Oriental Gentleman from the Cartel. Love later sends Claude to collect a package from an incoming plane at Francis International Airport and later has him return to collect the real package, having previously sent Claude to collect decoy packages. The package, however, has already been collected by Miguel and Catalina. Claude goes to a construction site in Fort Staunton and confronts Miguel and Catalina. Miguel hands the package to Claude but is shot by Catalina, who jumps down into a skip to escape.
Asuka Kasen, enraged following the death of her brother Kenji at the hands of a "Cartel assassin" (really Claude disguised as a Cartel member), begins to torture Miguel for information on the Cartel's operations. After extracting information from Miguel, Asuka then sends Claude to stop the Cartel operations, which includes killing three Cartel hit squads, destroying the Kappa Coffee House stands (which were a front to sell SPANK) and destroying a plane and collecting the SPANK packages inside. After collecting the SPANK packages, Claude returns to the construction site and finds Asuka and Miguel dead, with Miguel impaled on a construction pole, with a note addressed to Claude attached to his body.
Miguel is one of the few characters who appears and (seemingly) dies in more than one game (GTA III and GTA Liberty City Stories), the others being Charlie, Michael Keane, Eugene Reaper, Mori Green, Evan Moss, and United Liberty Paper Contact. However, Miguel is the only one of two characters whose multiple deaths do not occur in a crossover mission.
- In the beta, at the introduction cutscene he would say: Catalina! Move your ass! [1.
- Miguel might have urinated in his pants during the torture as Maria says "What is that gooey yellow stuff?" in the beginning cutscene of S.A.M.

Tail End of the Week: Get Your Friday Farm Fix #15
22 comments:
WOW! Gorgeous photos, Farmgirl! Love the titles you've given them, as well.
And LOL at "because [Joe] hasn't yet done the peep math!" Ahhh, chickens galore. If I had more room and could let my flock free-range, I'd let the hens go broody. But I trust my dogs about as far as I can throw them. :-)
Thanks again for sharing this little slice of farm life with us. Hope you get some rain soon.At this point I would gladly send you our rain. We seem to be stuck with extremes in weather here. Heat waves followed by days of rain. Either way I seem to be stuck in the house a lot. And poor Bert. He is just a big guy in a small body, it's not his fault. I feel the same - I should be 5'10", then my weight would be better (not great, but I don't think I want to be 6'4"!) And all those chicks. How adorable.
ReplyDelete- Anonymous6/24/2012 7:40 AM
I love the baby chick pictures, and glad some are finally getting some rain!: :) Kim
ReplyDelete - Anonymous6/26/2012 2:22 PM
These photos are great! I especially love the one of the butterfly, absolutely lovely. If you like taking photos, you should submit some of them to the farm photo contest at The Green Life (offering four different prizes). Check it out here http://site.thegreenlifeonline.org/photocontest/.
ReplyDelete I absolutely adore these pictures! So gorgeous. The baby chicks with their mom are quite possibly the cutest things I've ever seen.
Also wanted to say I've been reading your blog for a long time and sort of living vicariously through you, always wanting to live in the country. My husband and I finally made the move from the city and now we live on 20 acres and are loving it! Thanks for being part of the inspiration for us to live our dream :)- Anonymous7/08/2012 8:16 AM
How do you keep the cats and dog from eating chickens, particularly babies? Love your farm, absolutely beautiful piece of heaven!

I don't want to require commenters to be registered Blogger or Open ID users because I know many of you aren't. Thanks so much for your understanding!
Hi! Thanks for visiting Farmgirl Fare and taking the time to write. While I'm not always able to reply to every comment, I receive and enjoy reading them all.
Your feedback is greatly appreciated, and I especially love hearing about your experiences with my recipes. Comments on older posts are always welcome!
Please note that I moderate comments, so if I'm away from the computer it may be a while before yours appears.
I try my best to answer all questions, though sometimes it takes me a few days. And sometimes, I'm sorry to say, they fall through the cracks, and for that I sincerely apologize.
If you're waiting for a reply to your comment and have a Blogger profile (it's free to create one) you can check the NOTIFY ME box that is below and receive all follow up comments to just this specific post via email.
I look forward to hearing from you and hope you enjoy your e-visits to our farm!
