Fire in the Hole! UK vs Washington Battle Royale Pt II
Hello there,
you could see this coming a mile off. We love to ruck! The last men standing turned in this.
There was a choice of three subjects
After Man
How will the birds and beasts evolve after we've gone the way of the dodo?
The Life Aquatic
Could be fishies, Atlantis or Aqua Man, I'm not bothered.
The Roman Empire's 3000th Anniversary
What if the German tribes didn't bring the empire to it's knees, and it thrived and survived to the present day? At first glance, this looks like a subject for environment artists only. It doesn't have to be. It could be a character study/costume design.
However, which is which is anybody's guess.
When messrs Dan Milligan, ozan, DSIllustration, Dallas and Fozzybar have deliberated and chin stroked some, we'll have a winner. To simplify matters, the British entry will always appear first, so you know which camp each contestant fights for.

Really great stuff all around. Very inspiring. I love the way Matt Dixon's and Stokes images look together, Like Matt's character caught a Lunker sea creature, but there is still slack in the line and he don't know it yet! Summer Puddins is pretty damn sweet too. I'm worried Britannia may be ruling our arses once again.
On closer inspection I would have to say...Yeah, we got owned.
Don't make me have to move my ass out west just to help my boy's out next round...if there is a next round.

Damn nice pieces you bastards! Lots of good stuff in here... and look, my sloppy pile of ass (yes, the one where I had to write Rome on the top so you could at least tell what I was kind of going for) wins by default!
Thanks for organizing this Pudd, and great piece btw.

There are alot of interesting and great images up here. Before I comment, Ben Mauro's image is not appearing.
Posh: I like the hotties. This looks really great, I read in the other forum where you were worried about the image cause you changed your mind. I think it looks great, all it needs is some more color. Is that a canvas texture or did you start this as a real painting?
Xia: Great piece I love all the little details and the extra design that is in the corners of the image.
Sketchling: Nice aquatic enviroment. I like how it disappears in the distance.
Britt: I like the diagonal flow and the textures are nice. It looks like they are in the sky more than underwater though.
SummerPudding: I love the atmospheric perspective and the confetti debri flying all around. It looks great.
flattraps: The sketchy quality of the whole piece is wonderful. The textures and lighting looks great too.
Matt Dixon: My favorite thing about this whole piece I think is the fact that it looks different. To me at first glance, it seems more refined than normal, but I also realised there isnt a whole lot of that crazy texture going on you normally have. All of the little details are nice such as the reflection of the boat, and the underwear and sock hanging to dry. I do have to make one crit, the horizon line is rather distracting, and almost comes forward more than it goes back.
Stokes: I like the lighting of the image. The creature design is really cool too, it reminds me of a dragon, whale, and squid all in one.
Oregano: I havent seen your work in awhile, but it looks like you have improved alot. I really like the character design and the texture and details of her outfit. The lighting from above is nice too. My only crit is that they way she is colored, she doesnt appear to be underwater with the rest of the image.
Widigan Trippe: Actually one of the most unique looking images on here due to the look of the texture. The image looks like it is manipulated photo or a 3d piece with a great texture on it. Either way it is really gross looking and I like it alot. I am curious as to what you did exactly.
Ok my hand hurts, I'll resond to more later.

mmmmmmmmmmmmmm thats a whole lotta sex up there,
good work everyone, well organised Mr Pud' sir *tips hat*

Gloklund remember "we" didnt get owned, its seattle only. Next time for a real UK colony fight, it should be all of the US and not just a state. Especially when this was around the 4th of july, I think it was the EAST that won the independance. Hell seattle didnt even exist then. hahaha.

This is one of the best turnouts ever ever ever! Some fab images...
XIA - I love yours, as I said in 'the other place' (Shhh)... It knocks socks off mine. I was trying to do a Waterhouse pastiche, who always seemed to paint ethereal 'watery tarts'. But wish I'd just stuck with me first idea.
I'll say lots of stuff later... but FANTASTIC work from everyone!
Thankyou Pud for organising this!
July 5th, 2005 #9
I hear ya Matt,
Maybe the UK vs New England(the true colonists!)next time...Hmmm...interesting.
Or they could just go from state to state until they come across some competition... Holy shit did I just say that?! I couldn't have... that's so unlike me...
Umm... Hi fella's...umm heh, didn't see you over there...please be gentle, I'm frail. THWAAAAK!!!
Pay no attention to me, I'm just being jealous that I couldn't play... because I don't live in WASHINGTON!!!!.
July 5th, 2005 #10
Hot stuff everyone, really!
MattSmith Thanks for the crit I included in my notes to Mr. Pud that I fancied this as sort of a book cover design, so the off colouring on the woman was intentional. I did think seriously about doing some sort of water pattern over her skin, and in retrospect suppose that could have worked, but I opted out mostly for design reasons, but also because I just didn't want to take the time at that point.
Mr. Summer : Is there any chance that we could get topics posted with the pieces? It would help. Thanks greatly kind sir for putting this little rumble on, btw.

Royale with cheese....
Sweet work all! Awesome to see how everyone's take came across in final form. Very humbling too. I'll go stick my head in a drawer and slam it shut a few times to get me to think more clearly next time.

Great turn out and a big wodge of fab images! The roman theme seemed pretty popular. I started an 'after man' image before one2hit suggested the Roman 3000... i wasn't sure at first but i think there's been some great interpretations of the theme. I actually started a different roman one too.. So my final piece was actually my third attempt. Hmmm.
I reckon the standard is very high. And there's a few contests where i'm finding it almost impossible to choose a favourite. Puddin's and Flaptraps' contest are a great pair of pictures.
So when are you judges gonna give us the verdict? Us Brits are very impatient y'know... i think it's gonna be mighty close. Especially with the 'no shows'.

Alright guys. This is an exciting show of skills. I will have to say hats off to the European group. They have some awsome pieces backing them up in this competition.

Really cool stuff guys. But since this was due July 4th, it should have been "England vs the original 13 Colongies: The Fight for Independence!" Next year perhaps.
Really nice environments by Koshime, flaptraps, Pudding and sketchling.
Love Dixon's and Stokes, that was a good fight.
Nice peices by Posh and xia, though Posh, your piece is very gloomy, and they are all sad. Show these beautiful ladies a good time!
Jetpack: watts has taught you well, nice improvement, but the perspective of your piece really throws things off. The facial expressions are really nice.
I'll comment more later.

Critical Review by Bayard Rustin
SOURCE: "Making His Mark," in New York Herald Tribune Book Week, November 14, 1965, pp. 1, 8, 10, 12, 16-17.
In the following review, Rustin offers a favorable assessment of The Autobiography of Malcolm X, summarizing the content and providing an analysis of some of Malcolm X's political and social beliefs and strategies.
[The Autobiography of Malcolm X, t]his odyssey of an American Negro in search of his identity and place in society, really begins before his birth 40 years ago in Omaha, Neb. He was born Malcolm Little, the son of an educated mulatto West Indian mother and a father who was a Baptist minister on Sundays and dedicated organizer for Marcus Garvey's back-to-Africa movement the rest of the week.
The first incident Malcolm recounts, as if it were his welcome to white America, occurred just before he was born. A party of Ku Klux Klanners galloped up to his house, threatened his mother and left a warning for his father "to stop spreading trouble among the good" Negroes and get out of town. They galloped into the night after smashing all the windows. A few years later the Klan was to make good on its threat by burning down the Littles' Lansing, Mich., home because Malcolm's father refused to become an Uncle Tom. These were the first in a series of incidents of racial violence, characteristic of that period, that were to haunt the nights of Malcolm and his family and hang like a pall over the lives of Negroes in the North and South. Five of Reverend Little's six brothers died by violence—four at the hands of white men, one by lynching, and one shot down by Northern police officers. When Malcolm was six, his father was found cut in two by a trolley car with his head bashed in. Malcolm's father had committed "suicide," the authorities said. Early in his life Malcolm concluded "that I too would die by violence … I do not expect to live long enough to read this book."
Malcolm's early life in the Midwest was not wholly defined by race. Until he went to Boston when he was 14, after his mother suffered a mental breakdown from bringing up eight children alone, his friends were often white; there were few Negroes in the small Midwestern towns where he grew up. He recounts with pride how he was elected president of his eighth-grade class in an almost totally white school.
But the race problem was always there, although Malcolm, who was light-skinned, tried for a time to think of himself as white or just like anyone else. Even in his family life, color led to conflict that interfered with normal relationships. The Reverend Little was a fierce disciplinarian, but he never laid a hand on his light-skinned son because, unconsciously, according to Malcolm, he had developed respect for white skin. On the other hand, Malcolm's mother, whose father was a white man, was ashamed of this and favored Malcolm's darker brothers and sisters. Malcolm wrote that he spent his life trying to purge this tainted white blood of a rapist from his veins.
Race also set the limits on his youthful ambitions during what he describes as his "mascot years" in a detention home run by whites with mixed feelings of affection and superiority towards him. One of the top students in his school and a member of the debating club, Malcolm went to an English teacher he admired and told him of his ambition to become a lawyer. "Mr. Ostrowsky looked surprised and said, 'Malcolm, one of life's first needs is for us to be realistic … a lawyer, that's no realistic goal for a nigger … you're good with your hands … why don't you plan on carpentry?'" How many times has this scene been repeated in various forms in schoolrooms across the country? It was at this point, Malcolm writes, "that I began to change—inside. I drew away from white people."
Too many people want to believe that Malcolm "the angry black man sprang full grown from the bowels of the Harlem ghetto." These chapters on his childhood are essential reading for anyone who wants to understand the plight of American Negroes.
Malcolm Little was 14 when he took the Greyhound to Boston to live with his half-sister, Ella, who had fought her way into the Boston "black bourgeoisie." The "400," as they were called, lived on "the Hill," only one step removed socially, economically and geographically from the ghetto ("the Town"). Malcolm writes that "a big percentage of the Hill dwellers were in Ella's category—Southern strivers and scramblers and West Indian Negroes, whom both the New Englanders and Southerners called 'Black Jews.'" Ella owned some real estate and her own home, and like the first Jews who arrived in the New World, she was determined to shepherd new immigrants and teach them the strange ways of city life. There were deep bonds between Ella and her younger brother, and she tried to help him live a respectable life on the Hill.
But for Malcolm the 400 were only "a big-city version of those 'successful' Negro bootblacks and janitors back in Lansing … 8 out of 10 of the Hill Negroes of Roxbury … actually worked as menials and servants…. I don't know how many 40- and 50-year-old errand boys went down the Hill dressed as ambassadors in black suits and white collars to downtown jobs 'in government,' 'in finance.' or 'in law.'" Malcolm instead chose "the Town," where for the first time he felt he was part of a people.
Unlike the thousands of Negro migrants who poured into the Northern ghettos, Malcolm had a choice. But from the moment he made it, the options narrowed. He got a job at the Roseland Ballroom, where all the jazz greats played. His title was shoe-shine boy but his real job was to hustle whiskey, prophylactics and women to Negroes and whites. He got his first conk and zoot suit and a new identity, "Red," and his secondary education began before he was 15. "I was … schooled well, by experts in such hustles as the numbers, pimping, con games of many kinds, peddling dope, and thievery of all sorts, including armed robbery."
It is significant that it was Malcolm's good qualities—his intelligence, integrity, and distaste for hypocrisy—as well as his sickness that made him choose crime rather than what passed in the Negro community for a respectable bourgeois life. Later he moved on to bigger things in Harlem, became "Detroit Red," went on dope and at one time carried three guns.
His description of the cut-throat competition between the hustlers and their fraternity is both frightening and moving. "As in the case of any jungle," he writes, "the hustler's every waking hour is lived with both the practical and the subconscious knowledge that if he ever relaxes, if he ever slows down, the other hungry, restless foxes, ferrets, wolves, and vultures out there with him won't hesitate to make him their prey." He summed up his morality at the time: "The only thing I considered wrong was what I got caught doing wrong … and everything I did was done by instinct to survive."
As a "steerer" of uptown rich whites to Harlem "sex specialties," he recounts perversions with racial overtones, of white men begging to be beaten by black women or paying large amounts to witness interracial sex that make Genet's "The Balcony" seem inhibited by comparison.
"Detroit Red" was a limited success in his trade for four years. But even in this business, success was limited by race. The big operators, the successful, respectable, and safe executives of policy, dope, and prostitution rackets, were white and lived outside the ghetto.
Malcolm left Harlem to return to Boston, and a few months later was caught as the head of a burglary gang. In February, 1946, not quite 21, he was sentenced to 10 years in prison, though the average sentence for burglary was about two years—the price for his being caught with his white girl friend and her sister.
Most of the first year in prison, Malcolm writes, he spent in solitary confinement, cursing: "My favorite targets were the Bible and God." Malcolm got a new name from the other prisoners—"Satan"—and plenty of time to think. He went through what he described as a great spiritual crisis, and, as a result, he, the man who cursed God, bowed down and prayed to Allah. It will be difficult for those readers who have never been in prison to understand the psychological torment that prisoners experience, their feelings of isolation, their need to totally commit their minds to something outside of themselves. Men without any of the external economic symbols of status seek security in a religion, philosophy or ideology. Malcolm particularly, with his great feelings of rebelliousness, hatred and internal conflict, turned to books and ideas for relief. When his brothers and sisters wrote to him that they had become followers of Elijah Muhammad and sent him Elijah's teachings, Malcolm seized on the tracts. Stimulated, he read other books on religion and philosophy voraciously. In his spiritual and psychological crisis he underwent religious conversion.
He took on a new identity and became Malcolm X, a follower of Elijah Muhammad. Now he had a God to love and obey and a white devil responsible for his plight. Many Negro prisoners accepted the "Messenger," Elijah Muhammad, for similar reasons. Excluded from American society, they are drawn to another one, the Nation of Islam. (This analysis of why Malcolm joined the Muslims is mine, for although Malcolm writes about Muslim ideas, nowhere does he discuss the reasons for his conversion beyond a surface level.)
Out of prison, Malcolm, while remaining religious, arrived at a balanced view of the more fantastic elements of Elijah's teachings and a deeper understanding of one of the driving forces: "So many of the survivors whom I knew as tough hyenas and wolves of the streets in the old days now were so pitiful. They had known all the angles, but beneath that surface they were poor, ignorant, untrained men; life had eased up on them and hyped them…. I was thankful to Allah that I had become a Muslim and escaped their fate."
Alex Haley, who assisted Malcolm with the book, rightly commends him for deciding not to rewrite the first parts of the book and make it a polemic against his old leader, although in the interim they had broken and now were in competition with each other. As a result, the book interestingly shows changes in Malcolm's thinking.
After seven years in prison, Detroit Red emerged as Malcolm X and was soon to be the brightest star of the Nation of Islam. But as in every conversion, the man himself was not entirely reborn. Malcolm brought with him his traits of the past—the shrewd and competitive instincts learned on the ghetto streets, combined now with the language and thoughts of the great philosophers of Western culture he applied from reading Hegel, Kant, and Nietzsche, and great Negro intellectuals like Du Bois. Remaining, too, with his burning ambition to succeed, was the rebellious anger of his youth for being denied a place in society commensurate with his abilities. But on the other side of the coin was a desire for fraternity, family and respectability.
Because of his ability, he was sent to New York, where he struck a responsive chord with a great many Harlem Negroes. The Nationalist sects provided an arena of struggle for power and status denied lower-class Negroes in the outside world.
But the same qualities that made him a successful ghetto organizer soon brought him into conflict with other Muslim leaders, especially Elijah's children and prospective heirs. They saw Malcolm as a threat to their domain and apparently were able to convince Elijah that there was a threat to himself as well. For although Malcolm always gave corollary credit to Elijah—and the limits set upon him by Elijah's demands made many underestimate the exceptional nature of his mind—he could not totally constrain his brilliance, pride or ambition. "Only by being two people could I have worked harder in the service of the Nation of Islam. I had every gratification that I wanted. I had helped bring about the progress and additional impact such that none could call us liars when we called Mr. Muhammad the most powerful black man in America."
As Malcolm's star rose higher in the western sky, Mr. Muhammad saw his eastern star setting and grew jealous. The conflict grew, although Malcolm made efforts toward conciliation. Finally, there was a total break that can be fatal to the erring Muslim who is cast away. Malcolm was aware of the dangers. "I hadn't hustled in the streets for nothing. I knew I was being set up … As any official in the Nation of Islam would instantly have known, any death-talk for me could have been approved of—if not actually initiated—by only one man." Later, just before his death, Malcolm said the attempt to murder him would come from a much greater source than the Muslims; he never revealed about whom he was talking.
Under a death sentence and without money or any substantial organization, Malcolm opted for action, although it was unclear whether he was running away from or toward something as he began another phase of his odyssey—a pilgrimage to Mecca where he became El-Hajj Malik El-Shabazz. Throughout his many conversions and transformations, he never was more American than during his trip to Mecca. Because his ankles were not flexible enough, he was unable to sit properly cross-legged on the traditional Muslim rug with the others, and at first the shrank from reaching into the common food pot. Like many American tourists, he projected desires for hospitality and fraternity, frustrated at home, on the Muslims he met, most of whom he could not communicate with because of the language barrier. Back in America, he acknowledged that it would be a long time before the Negro was ready to make common struggle with the Africans and Arabs.
In Mecca, Malcolm also dramatically announced that he had changed his view on integration, because he had seen true brotherhood there between black and white Muslims. In reality he had begun changing his attitude on integration and the civil rights movement many months before as the divisions between him and Elijah Muhammad widened. Part-way through the book his attacks on the movement became muted, and in the epilogue Haley concludes that Malcolm "had a reluctant admiration for Dr. Martin Luther King."
The roots of Malcolm's ambivalence were much more profound than personal opportunism. In a touching confession of dilemma he told Haley, "'the so-called moderate' civil rights organizations avoided him as 'too militant' and the 'so-called militants' avoided him as 'too moderate.' 'They won't let me turn the corner!' he once exclaimed. 'I'm caught in a trap!'" Malcolm was moving toward the mainstream of the civil rights movement when his life was cut short, but he still had quite a way to go. His anti-Semitic comments are a symptom of this malaise.
Had he been able to "turn the corner," he would have made an enormous contribution to the struggle for equal rights. As it was, his contribution was substantial. He brought hope and a measure of dignity to thousands of despairing ghetto Negroes. His "extremism" made the "mainstream" civil rights groups more respectable by comparison and helped them wrest substantial concessions from the power structure. Malcolm himself clearly understood the complicated role he played. At a Selma rally, while Dr. King was in jail, Malcolm said, "Whites better be glad Martin Luther King is rallying the people because other forces are waiting to take over if he fails." Of course, he never frightened the racists and the reactionaries as much as he made liberals feel uncomfortable, and moderates used his extremism as an excuse for inaction.
Behind the grim visage on television that upset so many white Americans there was a compassionate and often gentle man with a sense of humor. A testament to his personal honesty was that he died broke and money had to be raised for his funeral and family.
Upset by the comments in the African and Asian press criticizing the United States government for Malcolm's fate, Carl T. Rowan, Director of the United States Information Agency, held up some foreign papers and told a Washington audience, according to Alex Haley, "… All this about an ex-convict, ex-dope peddler, who became a racial fanatic." Yes, all this and more, before we can understand Malcolm's autobiography, revealing little-known aspects of his life and character, makes that tortured journey more understandable.
One of the book's shortcomings is that M. S. Handler and Haley, in their sensitive and insightful supplementary comments, make no comprehensive estimate of Malcolm X as a political leader. His often conflicting roles in the civil rights movement are described rather than analyzed. Perhaps this couldn't be helped, for Haley writes that Malcolm wanted a chronicler, not an interpreter. Obviously, Malcolm was not ready to make a synthesis of his ideas and an evaluation of his political role.
Shortly after Malcolm's death Tom Kahn and I wrote in New America and Dissent: "Now that he is dead, we must resist the temptation to idealize Malcolm X, to elevate charisma to greatness. History's judgment of him will surely be ambiguous. His voice and words were cathartic, channeling into militant verbiage emotions that otherwise might have run a violently destructive course. But having described the evil, he had no program for attacking it. With rare skill and feeling he articulated angry subterranean moods more widespread than any of us like to admit. But having blown the trumpet, he could summon, even at the very end, only a handful of followers."
Of course we cannot judge political effectiveness by numbers alone, but we cannot ignore his inability to build a movement. As a spokesman for Negro anger and frustration, he left his mark on history, but as a militant political leader he failed—and the Negro community needed both. Till the end, his program was a maze of contradictions. He was a brilliant psychologist when it came to articulating the emotions and thoughts of ghetto Negroes, but he knew virtually nothing about economics, and more important, his program had no relevance to the needs of lower-class Negroes. His conception of the economic roots of the problem is reflected in such remarks as "it is because black men do not own and control their community retail establishments that they cannot stabilize their own communities." And he advocates, as a solution, that Negroes who buy so many cars and so much expensive whiskey should own automobile franchises and distilleries. Malcolm was urging Negroes to pool their resources into small business establishments at a time when small businesses were declining under the pressure of big business and when an unplanned technological revolution is creating massive unemployment for unskilled Negroes. Malcolm's solutions were in fact almost a mirror image of many proposals made by white economic moderates; those advocates of "self-help" without a massive program for jobs remind me of no one so much as those black nationalist sects and their "build it yourself" black economy without capital. In short, Malcolm's economic program was not radical. It was, in fact, petty bourgeois.
Malcolm got a wide hearing in the ghetto because large sections of the Negro working class were being driven into the "underclass" and made part of the rootless mass by the vicissitudes of the economy. He articulated the frustration and anger of these masses, and they admired his outspoken attack on the racists and white hypocrites. But while thousands came to his funeral (I was there, too, to pay my respects), few joined his organization. Nor should it be surprising that the Negro masses did not support his proposed alliance of black Americans, Africans, and Arabs, including such leaders as Prince Faisal. For what did a Harlem Negro, let alone an Arab Bedouin, have in common with a feudal prince like Faisal? And at home Malcolm maintained an uneasy co-existence with the Harlem political machine. Today Malcolm's organization, the OAAU, hardly exists. In addition, he never clearly understood that as progress was made toward social integration, the problem for America's Negroes would become just as much one of class as of race.
Malcolm was with the Negro masses, but he was not of them. His experience and ambitions separated him from working-class Negroes. But to say this is not enough. In a sense Malcolm's life was tragic on a heroic scale. He had choices but never took the easy or comfortable ones. If he had, he might today be, as he says, a successful lawyer, sipping cocktails with other members of the black bourgeoisie. He chose instead to join the Negro masses who never had this freedom of choice. And, before his death he was working toward a more creative approach to the problems of the ghetto. Perhaps he might have been successful in "turning this corner."
After reflecting on the old days at Mosque 7, shortly before he was killed, Malcolm told Haley, "That was a bad scene, brother. The sickness and madness of those days—I'm glad to be free of them. It's a time for martyrs now. And if I'm to be one, it will be in the cause of brotherhood."
Our journey through the madness of racism continues, and there is much we can learn about both the sickness and the cure from Malcolm X.

Rated 4.1 out of 5 by 27 reviewers.
Rated 1 out of 5 by Irritated.... Quality item, but sizing and fit is embarrassing ! All other shorts in my closet are 36 waist, ordered two 36's. Both were too small for me. Returned and ordered two 38's. One 38 was o.k, but ALOT bigger than the 36's, can't wear. The other 38 must have been mis labeled as it seems like a 29-30 waist to me, not even close even know all of the tags are labeled 38......? I like the shorts but I would suggest going to to the store to try on before buying, my 0.02. July 6, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by MrE Wrong material for golf wear These shorts are made of material that darkens with the slightest bit of moisture (sweat, water fountain, anything). For active golf wear, this seems to be a bad idea. Personally I find it embarrassing when you have "sweat stains" on your shorts and you're out for a casual day of shopping or round of golf. Don't stand too close to the water fountain either or it will look like you've had an accident of a different sort. July 31, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by adrok78 Perfect! Excellent shorts just like all my other UA golf shorts. Very comfortable, great fit (not too long or baggy, very classic) and breathable. Love the logo on the back belt loop and also at the side thigh. Would highly recommend. April 2, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by Curtis17 Damaged apparel. Pen marks around waist The shorts I received were clearly previously returned. They had no tags, and had pen marks on the waist. Very disappointed with this purchase.. December 27, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by GOLF NUT GREAT PAIR OF "EASY CARE" GOLFING SHORTS THESE SHORTS ARE SHARP LOOKING BUT BEST OF ALL THEY RETAIN THEIR SHAPE AND COLOR WHEN YOU COLD WASH AND HANG DRY THEM. September 17, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by poor quality and over priced Under Armour Men's Bent Grass 2.0 golf Shorts These shorts are the poorest quality product that I have ever purchased. These shorts cost me $ 60. I will NEVER buy a product from Under Armour like these shorts again. I had to return these shorts TWICE. I even took these to a professional dry cleaner to get get pressed and these were ruined. I am a loyal Under Armour supporter, but these shorts will never be purchased by me again. July 9, 2013

Melanie White | November 9, 2012 | Comments
Flooded homes, ruined cars, blacked out streets... these are the kinds of things you see "somewhere else," not in New York City. Despite the devastation caused by Sandy, ClickZ weathered the storm.
Flooded homes, ruined cars, blacked out streets, piles of belongings on the curb... these are the kinds of things you see "somewhere else," not in New York City and the tri-state area. And yet here we are, one week after Mother Nature did her fair share of damage to the area, and all of us, especially those who experienced Hurricane Sandy's devastation personally, are reeling from the consequences. While some communities are beginning to return to normalcy, there are still others who are right now living without power, water, communications, transportation, and even their own homes. Our thoughts and well wishes are with those who have been hit the worst by this catastrophe.
At the US headquarters of ClickZ, based in Lower Manhattan, the office was closed for several days and only reopened earlier this week, on Tuesday, November 6. The ground floor and two stories of basements in our building at 55 Broad Street were extensively flooded and, although staff are now able to get to the office on the 22nd floor, it still lacks any phone service, heating or hot water. Despite all of this, it has been business as usual for all the team over the entire duration of the devastation. In the relationship of great spirits, everyone has shared resources as best as they can, grouping together wherever possible and keeping themselves safe, as well as managing to keep the business running remotely.
Matt McGowan, managing director, Americas of Incisive Media (ClickZ's parent company), described the challenges and the fantastic response of the team in the wake of Hurricane Sandy:
"Many of our employees have been without power, water and basic essentials, as well as not being able to travel due to public transportation stoppages. But that still hasn't stopped them. Our publications have continued to generate good, relevant content during this period and plans for our next major conferences, SES Chicago and Risk USA, are running as per schedule. And although the business is still running from various locations, from home bases, to coffee shops and public libraries with internet connections, the team has done a splendid job of maintaining contact and communication with our subscribers and our customers. And for this we thank them enormously".
Though there may certainly be some challenging days ahead for us all, as a newbie to the great city of New York and the ClickZ team, I'm confident that the resilient spirit of our community will triumph, and I'm inspired by how many of our readers have reached out to us from around the world. Here are just a few of the many messages that we have received:
"Dear ClickZ, Though I am far away in Austria, where we do not have hurricanes- at least not yet- I have been following the terrible news. I very much hope your situation is getting better and that you are all fine. Nice regards, Viktoria".
"Blessings from Argentina for all of you. Enrique".
"I am really sorry to hear how much the devastation of hurricane Sandy caused. If you need any help with anything... phone calls, content reviews or anything I can help with, please let me know. Regards, Michael".
"How are you guys? Thinking about ya. Hope you and your families are OK. Sorry about the Incisive office. Wishing you a speedy recovery and a good holiday season. Maybe we can all meet up after Thanksgiving. Drew".
"I just want you to know that it has touched me, and probably many others. It's awesome how you are pulling together and running the business without your home offices. This disaster is so overwhelming. Even when we see the aerial shots and other disaster news, it's hard to believe the size and scope. Worse than any earthquakes or wildfires we've experienced in Southern California, for sure. Wishing you the best during the hardest of times - clean-up, recovery, rebuilding. Huge challenges. Sue".
"Glad you're all safe. Double beers at SES Chicago. Keep well and big hugs! Regards, Mel".
Thank you to everyone for your thoughtful messages and continued support. So many ordinary people doing extraordinary things. Our office team may hail from all over the world, but we're glued together and motivated by the strength of spirit in the great city of New York.
Best wishes to all,
Mel and the ClickZ team

Lawsuits originating in Huron County might have eventually furthered women's rights in our country. In the 19th century, women had few legal rights. They could own land and property in their own right and had to sign a deed along with their husband in order to sell real estate, but they could not vote during most of the century.
In general, the property a woman inherited was considered to belong to her husband. Often, he signed the receipt for an inheritance along with his wife, or in her place. If her husband died, she had certain rights as a surviving spouse, but she did not really inherit real estate. Instead, she was allowed dower rights for life and the right to certain income and residence rights unless her husband remembered her more liberally in his will.
In 1857, the Ohio Legislature passed a law allowing married women such personal property as may be exempt from attachment. A husband was prohibited from selling any personal property without his wife's consent, especially property that might have been exempted from a legal attachment in that it was necessary for the family's existence. Further, a husband could not sell personal property to pay debts if he did not own sufficient property in the first place, to pay a debt being collect by Court action.
John and Adafna Spoors Slinker rented a farm from John and Horace Beardsley in Ridgefield Township west of Monroeville. The Beardsley brothers sued for farm rent due and were awarded $708 plus costs from Slinker. He owned a team of horses and harness worth less than $300, and turned these over to the Beardsleys to apply on the money owed.
The 1857 act of the Legislature specified that personal property of less than $300 in value was exempted to the family for its support and, because the Slinkers had little other personal property, Adafna in her own right brought a suit against the Beardsleys to recover the horses and harnesses or the cash value of them.
Huron County Common Pleas Court found in favor of the Beardsleys, but the case was appealed and eventually the Ohio Supreme Court reversed the Huron County decision in 1859 and the Beardsleys in effect lost their case and had to reimburse the Slinkers.
The 1860 census the next year shows the Slinkers living in Peru Township and by 1870 they had moved to Plain Township in Wood County near Bowling Green where they spent the remainder of their days. I would suppose that the lawsuits with the Beardsleys would have threatened their marriage, but perhaps John was happy that Adafna sued as she did.
By the way, if you think Adafna was an unusual name then consider that a genealogist descended from her brother gave me the spelling of Adaphina. No doubt her mother had some good reason for whichever spelling is correct, but one has to wonder about the origin of this name.
The Slinker story was an important step in improved rights for women and was hailed as such in the local newspapers. Instead of having to sit idly by while her husband did as he pleased with their personal property, a wife could try to retain personal property and ensure that her family would be cared for.

I have tons of horror stories about roommates and housing but the one connective thread is an unprofessional landlord. While I can't tell you why this problem is so prominent in many college towns, I can guide you on how to deal with it.
First, know your rights. Look up your state's tenant laws and make note of them. In Michigan, a tenant has the right to withhold all or part of rent depending on the problem until the apartment is fixed. We're not talking broken lights or chipped paint, though – think more along the lines of pests, unusable plumbing and no electricity.
Next, reread your lease. Whenever you sign a lease, make sure to 1. read it thoroughly and 1. get a copy. (My landlord didn't even give me a copy of my lease and I had to email him several times to get it.) If the lease does not say anything about apartment fixes (it should), do not sign it until it's amended. If the landlord complains, cite the tenant laws to support your case.
Lastly, be confident and remain firm in all dealings with your landlord, especially if the issue is detrimental to your health or living. For example, my neighbor has had bad plumbing since July but even after multiple complaints, the landlord hadn't remedied the issue by October. She knew her rights, though, and together we sent the landlord an email stating she was moving out and he would be responsible for finding a replacement tenant...but not until the apartment was fixed. We also said if immediate action was not taken, we would call a health inspector (also due to persistent flying squirrel incidents in several apartments). Needless to say, the landlord agreed in a panic and we were able to avoid going to court over the matter – a mess we definitely didn't need during midterm time.
If you follow these tips, even the worst landlord ever can be dealt with. Good luck, renters!

Here at Michigan Tech, ghost hunting and paranormal investigation have become hot trends. It may seem like a strange extracurricular activity at first but my school is located in the perfect place for it: Further north past the busiest towns on this side of the Upper Peninsula, old mining towns sit against the woods. What happened here so many years ago? Over the summer, my friend and I decided to find out. We did extensive research on the area and we finally obtained access into a building that was used as the old hospital. It was an experience neither of us will ever forget, partly because of our findings and partly because we went about our exploration in the right way.
There are rules when it comes to digging around a town's history that must be followed. First, get permission. I know it may seem like a person would never let you tromp around in a historical location but trust me: It's much more respectful to get permission rather than trespassing and going home in a cop car. If you have a legitimate reason for your exploration – like photography or paranormal investigation, the latter of which we cited as our objective – the chances of receiving permission are pretty good.
Next, be safe. Wear proper clothing like sneakers, long sleeves and pants – no heels or skirts, girls! Also, don't conduct your investigation in a big group. It's noisy and disrespectful to the property owners, surrounding neighbors and those who have passed on or were buried on the site.
Lastly, enjoy the experience! The findings from our investigation were staggering: I was touched twice by a "spirit" – it felt like cold spider webs the first time and like someone covered in spider webs brushed past me in a hurry the second time – and we recorded a few EVPs (disembodied voices). All the eresearch and planning paid off and it will change the way I view the paranormal forever. If you're interested in giving it a try, see if your school has a paranormal club. Who knows, you might even get course credit for participating!

Whether the rent is too high, the landlord is negligent or there is an army of flying squirrels gnawing away at your apartment, your housing situation may need to change. This usually happens at a most inopportune time, like in the middle of the semester; it's is a stressful, horrible and distracting experience but if your current place is bad enough (remember my last post?), the move will benefit you in the end.
Packing is a nightmare – not only is your place going to look like a tornado ripped through but if you do not keep your school stuff together, it will get lost in the mess – but you can maintain some sense of order. Keep a designated space for school work, books and any other college necessities or put everything in a labeled box so you will know exactly where to search when you need something for school.
As with your school supplies, separate your items into well-marked boxes to make unpacking easier and then begin transporting the boxes. Try to schedule moving day for a weekend or day you do not have class or work; unfortunately, I only had one day and had to skip all of my classes to get the job done but I did let my professors know ahead of time. When you arrive at your new place, make sure everything appears as promised in your lease before you start unpacking.
Moving in the middle of the semester is awful, I know. Things will get crazy, messy and even unmanageable but the best thing you can do is to stay organized. The hustle and bustle of a move has been known throw wrenches in otherwise perfectly timed schedules so use a planner or cell phone calendar to remember important dates and appointments while you are relocating. Good luck and enjoy your new abode!

I have been looking at graduate schools for a while now to better prepare myself for a career in my profession of choice. If you are interested in graduate school as well, you probably had the same question I once did: When and how do I start preparing?
We recently had a graduate school seminar here at Michigan Tech that talked about when to start applying, what to expect, taking the GRE, etc. Here are the points I found most important for one's journey to graduate school:
If you want more information on graduate school, my school has the seminar online for viewing and other resources used in the seminar can be found here. Do your research , stay organized and your acceptance letter will follow!

I have been attending college for about four years now and have never taken a semester off. The thought used to make me shudder – how could someone even think of taking time off from school?! – but after this semester, it doesn't sound like such a bad idea.
Some of my friends took semesters off to travel and learn more about themselves, while others were lost and not sure what they wanted to do in life. Some have experienced the loss of a family member or friend and others fell so ill that it interfered with their everyday lives. But me? My situation has been a combination of flying squirrels, bad landlords, health issues and money problems. Stress from school has skyrocketed to its worst level ever and I am planning to take the summer off, since I cannot afford to withdraw from spring classes if I want to stay on track. (I did consider attending part-time but found it could create problems with financial aid.)
If you're considering taking a semester off, do NOT just drop off the face of the Earth. Let your adviser know your plans and keep the lines of communication open so that the process of coming back to school is easier when you are ready to do so. You may be taking time off from school to destress but I'd also recommend doing something related to your major – picking up an internship/job, volunteering or studying for LSAT, MCAT, GMAT or GRE – to stay somewhat involved in your field.
Lots of college students take time off for one reason or another; if external factors are competing with school to the point where your grades are suffering, take a break – you'll return to school more motivated to succeed.

Once that last Scantron sheet is bubbled and that last paper is submitted, the freedom of winter break beckons us happily. Suddenly, the stress is gone and we have all the time in the world (aside from work and family obligations) so what kinds of fun things can you do during hours you'd otherwise be studying?
I made a promise to myself to read all of winter break and I've found Amazon's Kindle app to be a fantastic way to do so. It works on your smartphone, iPad, iPod or computer – I had to get it for my netbook for school – and have access to countless free or 99-cent Kindle books! I want to recommend Destination Truth: Memoirs of a Monster Hunter. If you have ever seen the show on SyFy, it is worth checking out. For those who haven't, author Josh Gates is witty, sarcastic and adventurous – a modern Indiana Jones! All of the paranormal shows are coming out with their own books and though I have yet to check out Ghost Hunters or Ghost Adventures, this one just drew me in.
If you are into video games, you cannot go wrong with Skyrim. Hundreds of hours can be poured into this game, where you create a character to battle dragons and complete quests in an entirely different world. This is one sure way to survive your winter break...if you can defeat the dragons, of course.
And finally, The Adventures of Tintin looks like an incredible movie for all ages. The story is courageous, mysterious and unexpected – out of all the movies coming out over break (yes, even including Spielberg's other film, War Horse), I would say this looks like the most thrilling and worth my 10 dollars.
Whatever you choose to do, may your winter break be as adventurous as you can make it!

The start of a new year marks the time to seek an apartment for the fall semester. I know that's the case at my school: Once the calendar turns to January in Houghton, Mich., students start climbing all over housing advertisements and residences are gone in no time. It really is a race here because in this rural town, affordable quality housing is limited. No matter where you attend college, there are some key things you should keep an eye out for when you tour a place you could potentially call home.
Noise. Ask about street noise or neighbor noise then take a listen for yourself to determine whether it's too loud or too quiet for you. I lived on a main street once and when I moved to a quieter one, I could not sleep for a week because of the silence!
Mold or water damage. If there is a basement, look/smell for mold and search for wet spots or signs of flooding. Mold can bother allergies or make you sick and flooding could ruin your belongings; basements are prime locations for both to occur.
Pests. Keep your eyes peeled for chewed corners or holes in ceilings or walls. As I noted in a previous post, pests such as mice and squirrels can poop all over the place, eat your food, damage your apartment's structure and scare the daylights out of you. Do not move into a place with these warning signs unless the landlord promises to make repairs before you move in.
Maintenance. Make sure your landlord has a maintenance man or has offered you a phone number to reach him or her in case they handle the repairs. Trust me, no hot water plus hair covered in conditioner at 11 p.m. equals a not-so-fun extracurricular activity.
Be wary of everything from cleanliness to the neighborhood (nearby bars and hot spots mean there WILL be drunken singing at 2 a.m.). The race is on – good luck!
May 26, 2011
When the campus dormitories have run their course and you are ready to have a room bigger than a closet, living in off-campus housing can be an exciting experience. Be forewarned, however, that you may have to deal with pests. No, I'm not talking about rude, unkempt roommates but insects, rodents and other undomesticated animals.
As a college student, you may have never dealt with a pest on your own before. I sure hadn't...until recently. During finals week, I heard scratching in my ceiling. I ignored it but after returning from a week-long trip, the source of the scratching revealed itself. I screamed, "it" crawled into the ceiling and I covered the holes with duct tape, still not knowing what the creature was. I called my landlord but he was out of town and said he'd take care of it on Monday. That weekend, a friend and I heard the scratching again, this time from the kitchen. "There it is!" screamed my friend as I tried to chase "it" out the door. "It" jumped behind the couch then flew back into the kitchen (I had no idea that "it" could fly!). My friend held a pot so we could capture "it" but when "it" ran toward her, she panicked and dropped the pot on top of the creature, paralyzing it. "It" – what we later found out was a flying squirrel – died soon after.
So off-campus dwellers, if you hear animal noises or have a large amount of insects inside your rental unit, call your landlord immediately. It's their responsibility to get rid of the problem for you and if he or she doesn't or refuses to help, he or she is breaking the law.

So you met during orientation the first week of college and you two really hit it off. Fall semester flies by and the snow comes in heavy waves. Spring semester comes in like a lion and, as the leaves show themselves on the trees after a long winter's nap, you realize you are happier than ever. Now summer is here, you are staying at school to take classes and he/she is going home. What now?
This summer is the first real summer my boyfriend and I would've spent apart in different places so I've developed some tips for others in the same situation on how to deal:
You may miss your significant other but stay busy! Intern, volunteer, hang out with friends, spend time with your parents, study hard, whatever...it'll make for a more productive summer and you won't be constantly checking your phone. Plus, fall semester will be here before you know it!
June 14, 2011
Spring semester ends and summer rolls in with its blossoming heat and sunny days. Summer classes are starting up, birds are gathering in trees to sing their summery tunes and some students are starting their job search...late.
I tend to start looking for a summer job in the early spring in order to secure a position but if you have a particularly demanding spring semester class schedule, you're not going to get this kind of head start. In an injured economy, it's difficult to find a job, especially in smaller college towns that are not located near metropolitan areas. Many businesses are often family-owned – there are lots in my college town – which usually eliminates anyone outside of the family for employment.
The best thing to initiate late in the job hunt is to check with your school. Ask around to see if there are any openings for summer help. The admissions office is a good place to start but dining services is also a great hidden opportunity. With the lack of summer students, your school will probably be looking for help. I joined up with a catering service through my school where I work weddings and class reunions and – get this – set my own hours.
The most important advice about any type of job hunting is that you cannot be picky. I cannot stress this enough. If you've got rent and bills to pay, you've got to make money somehow. Apply everywhere – gas stations, gift shops, restaurants, department stores – and if you've still got nothing, fast-food might have to be an option. At least fill out an application; you can always decline the offer if you find something else. With today's economy, cash-strapped college students can't afford to cherry pick. The race is on, time is ticking and money is waiting to be made.

Moon clip
A moon clip is a ring-shaped or star-shaped piece of metal designed to hold multiple cartridges together as a unit, for simultaneous insertion and extraction from a revolver cylinder. Moonclips may either hold an entire cylinder's worth of cartridges together (full moon clip), half a cylinder (half-moon clip), or just two neighboring cartridges (this is for those revolvers that have an odd number of cylinders such as five or seven.)
Moon clips can be used either to chamber rimless cartridges in a double-action revolver (which would normally require rimmed cartridges), or to chamber multiple rimmed cartridges simultaneously. Moon clips are generally made from spring grade steel, although plastic versions have also been produced. Unlike a speedloader, a moon clip remains in place during firing, and after firing, is used to extract the empty cartridge cases.
The modern moon clip was devised shortly before World War I (circa 1908).[1] The device then became widespread during the war, when the relatively new M1911 semi-automatic pistol could not be manufactured fast enough for the war effort. The U.S. War Department asked Smith & Wesson and Colt to devise ways to use the M1911's .45 ACP rimless cartridge in their revolvers. The result was the M1917 revolver, employing moon clips to chamber the military-issue .45 ACP ammunition.[2] Smith & Wesson invented and patented the half-moon clip, but at the request of the Army allowed Colt to also use the design free of charge in their own version of the M1917 revolver.
In 2003, Beckham Product Design created the RIMZ Polymer Moon Clips designated as the RIMZ 625 that was used for the 45ACP cartridge. This plastic clip was designed for range use and allowed the cartridges to be inserted and removed without tools. In 2005, the RIMZ 25 was created to fit the older versions of the 45ACP revolvers such as the 1917 S&W and Colt Revolvers. The RIMZ 25 was soon followed by the RIMZ 610 (for 10mm and .40cal revolvers) and the RIMZ 646 (.40cal)<www.beckhamdesign.com></D.Scott Beckham>
Moon clips may be even faster to use than a speedloader. Jerry Miculek, a top IPSC revolver shooter, has demonstrated the ability to fire six shots from a .45 ACP revolver, reload, and fire six more shots to the 6x11-inch A zone of an IPSC target at 15 ft (4.6 m) in under three seconds. This feat was possible by using moon clips to allow quick and reliable ejection of the fired rounds, and a quick reload of all six chambers at once.[3]
Common revolver models that are manufactured to use moon clips:
- .38 Special/.357 Magnum
- S&W Model 27 (post-1996 8-shot variants)
- M1917 revolver
- S&W Model 25
- S&W Model 625
- S&W Governor
- Webley revolver (When modified for the .45 ACP cartridge- a common, though dangerous adaptation, as the .45 ACP standard pressure is above maximum pressure ratings for all models of Webley revolver.)

"Beautifully layered and lovingly detailed, White Truffles in Winter is a tale of extraordinary people entangled in a captivating love story. Filled with lush and decadent longing, this novel will dazzle the mind as well as the senses." —Diana Abu-Jaber, author of Birds of Paradise: A Novel
A breathtaking novel, rare and moving, about the world's greatest chef and his unruly heart.
White Truffles in Winter imagines the world of the remarkable French chef Auguste Escoffier (1846-1935), who changed how we eat through his legendary restaurants at the Savoy and the Ritz. A man of contradictions—kind yet imperious, food-obsessed yet rarely hungry—Escoffier was also torn between two women: the famous, beautiful, and reckless actress Sarah Bernhardt and his wife, the independent and sublime poet Delphine Daffis, who refused ever to leave Monte Carlo. In the last year of Escoffier's life, in the middle of writing his memoirs, he has returned to Delphine, who requests a dish in her name as he has honored Bernhardt, Queen Victoria, and many others.
How does one define the complexity of love on a single plate? N. M. Kelby brings us the sensuality of food and love amid a world on the verge of war in this work that shimmers with beauty and longing.
N. M. Kelby is the critically acclaimed author of In the Company of Angels, Whale Season, White Truffles in Winter, and the Florida Book Award winnerA Travel Guide for Reckless Hearts, among others. She lives in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

Beautiful tents!Reviewed on 10/06/2012 Emily A
There really is nothing like a Sperry tent. Their construction is beautiful, and those flags waving merrily in the breeze make such an impression at an event! We loved using one for our September wedding. My mom and I both loved working with Mike, and we always found him and everyone else in the office (including the set-up/delivery guys) to be polite, professional, and knowledgeable. They have a bit of a monopoly on the market if you have to have a Sperry tent, but happily, I would choose them even if they weren't the only option! Highly recommended.
Most beautiful tents!Reviewed on 10/04/2012 Kim T
I couldn't be happier with my event featuring Sperry Tents! My daughter's wedding took place at our home this past August, so it was a very intimate affair and Mike K. from Sperry answered every question from day one to put me at rest. I knew the event would be spectacular just because we were using a Sperry Tent! I feel Sperry took my backyard event and turned it into a grand affair! So many rave reviews on the tent! Also I can not say enough about the crew, from the time Sperry Tent workers arrived on my property, from set up to take down they were the most efficient, friendliest group of guys. I was so pleased with everyone at Sperry Tents I wouldn't hesitate to use them again!

The algae invasion
One of the world's simplest organisms is also one of the hardest to classify.
By Stephen Ornes, 00:00 AM May 11, 2010
Algae: You know it when you see it. It's the slimy green carpet that blankets the top of ponds or neglected swimming pools. It may be long strands of seaweed, sometimes used for fertilizer or food, that sway with the ocean tide. Or, algae may show up as the poisonous red tides that bloom near the coast and threaten marine life.
This type of algae is kelp, and kelp forests are sometimes called the rainforests of the seas. This kelp forest is in Monterey Bay off the coast of California.
