Michael Brown Spins the Gulf Oil Spill Catastrophe
Joseph Palermo: So that's what our political discourse has sunk to? Discredited figures like Brownie are on TV jockeying for partisan gain, milking a national tragedy that is probably going to change forever the ecosystem of the Gulf Coast? Brownie uses a catastrophe that threatens many of the nation's most important waterways and will probably be a grave setback to any national economic recovery to score pitiful political points against the Democrats? Who are these people?

This week we launched a sale featuring Trek Travel's California Wine Country tour, a five-night cycling itinerary that stops at some of Napa and Sonoma's best wineries. We spoke with Jonathan Hershberger, a guide for Trek Travel, and asked all the important questions: How much can you really drink while biking? Do people ever fall down? And do you feel silly at a wine tasting in bike shorts? We also covered some less important ground, like the biggest challenges on the trip, the coolest stop and why their bikes have been in the Tour de France.

A Look at the Steampunk Coffee Brewer
This tricked-out-siphon-turned-glass-pipe-organ brewed coffee contraption may be arriving soon at a coffee place near you. Building on the popularity of by-the-cup brewed coffee, the Steampunk tries to do one better on the super-elaborate, high-ticket brewers like the Bunn Trifecta and the Clover: and do it four different, programmable cups at a time.

The 24-year-old signed a five-year deal on Friday after a 4million euros (£3.2m) move from Sao Paulo. The fee could rise to 5.5million euros (£4.4m) depending on the number of games he plays.
The deal was agreed earlier this week and, after passing a medical, Douglas was able to put pen to paper.
The Catalan club face a FIFA-imposed transfer embargo for the next two windows, which they are appealing at the Court of Arbitration for Sport, but are allowed to bring players in this summer.

The fourteenth game in the popular Touhou danmaku shoot 'em up series, Double Dealing Character, is also the first one to receive an official release outside of Japan, through Playism, an indie game distribution platform that focuses on Japanese indie titles. This is also the first Touhou game to get released as a downloadable title – the series is usually released on CD at Tokyo's Comic Market. "Comiket", as it's more commonly known, is the world's largest convention for doujin works.
The scoring system in DDC is based around the "POC" (point of collection), an invisible line near the top of the screen that appears in all of the modern Touhou games. By crossing this line, any point items dropped by enemies will be sucked in by the player. In DDC, this leads to higher scores as well as bonus items that can grant bombs or extends.
The simple, "back to basics" scoring system and digital download make DDC a decent enough introduction to the Touhou series, although it should be noted that this is not a localized port, just a convenient way to purchase and play the original Japanese game that was released at Comiket in 2013. However, this wiki explains the basic mechanics and screen layout. A three-level demo is also available to try out before purchasing.
This is a video that mashes up quite a few trailers for doujin games that will be available at this year's Comiket (Comic Market), a Japanese self-published comic book festival (and the largest in the world, with over half a million attendees last year). Edelweiss, the doujin shmup developer behind Ether Vapor and Astebreed, has been putting these videos together for the past few years. The festival is taking place this weekend on August 15-17.
Links to each of the games featured in the video are available here on Edelweiss's website.
In what is hopefully part of a continuing trend, Crimzon Clover has been released on Steam as Crimzon Clover WORLD IGNITION, giving PC players around the globe easy access to one of the best doujin bullet hell shoot 'em ups. Originally released in 2011 at Comiket 79, the game was largely created by one person: Yotsubane, also known as the Cave superplayer Clover-TAC. From there, its popularity led to an enhanced edition on Taito's NESiCAxLive, a digital download platform for Japanese arcades, followed by this recent port to Steam.
In Crimzon Clover you have two main attacks, a rapid-fire shot that fires straight ahead and a lock-on shot that creates a quickly-expanding circle around your ship, targeting every enemy it touches for a powerful homing laser attack. On top of that, there is a third button, called the Break Button, which does different things depending on the status of the Break Gauge. Destroying enemies fills up the gauge and if it's filled above a certain threshold, hitting the button fires a bomb that clears bullets. If the gauge is completely full, however, you enter a "Break Mode" where your firepower and scoring ability are increased dramatically for a limited amount of time. During Break Mode it's also possible to enter a "Double Break Mode" that ups everything (including enemy ferocity) even further, turning the screen into a page from a Magic Eye book.
Fans of Japanese shoot 'em ups already know about Crimzon Clover and this port, but it's also a great introductory shmup that is polished and offers a lot of modern conveniences like tutorials and novice modes to help new players get accustomed to the brutal level of difficulty. Plus, the relatively simple, memorization-free scoring system and sheer destructive firepower at hand should be enjoyable for veterans and newcomers alike. If I have one complaint, it's that the graphics veer toward the garish and it is often hard to find your ship's tiny yellow hitbox amidst the sludge of bullets, stars, and machinery. But it could be argued that this eye-bleeding quality is part of the game's appeal. In any case, at $10 on Steam, it's never been easier to play this previously obscure jewel of the genre.
Jelly no Puzzle is the latest difficult puzzle game from Qrostar. It shares some similarities with his earlier Hanano Puzzle but has enough changes in the gameplay to make it a new challenge. Mainly, the jelly blocks push each other instead of being switchable.
Qrostar is still making tweaks to the game before finalizing it, but I found the current version very playable. The latest improvement-in-progress should help to compensate for colorblindness through adjustments made to the color values. So, if you have something to report or a comment to share with him, you can head over to his diary to post it. That's also were you can find a link to download alternate versions of levels 38, 39 and 40 that were replaced during development.

Despite (because of?) being a pretty dense and esoteric doujin bullet hell shoot 'em up, Hellsinker has enjoyed a cult success over the years. But now that an English translation patch has been finished, perhaps more people can enjoy its unique flavor of shooting. Thanks to Noah! from the forums for posting enthusiastically about it a few months ago.
Like most shoot 'em ups, the goal of the game is to advance through the stages and earn a high score (called "spirit" in HS). However, Hellsinker also has a unique meter called "terra" that can deplete to send you to the Shrine of Farewell, a special boss rush level that resets your spirit counter but can end up doubling it if you're good enough. There are many other quirks to the game, and the numerous ship types ensure that there's a lot to understand here, whether you're playing it in your native language or not.
Beyond that, if you're interested in learning more about Hellsinker, you're probably best off exploring it yourself or looking through the various guides that I've posted below along with the download/purchase links:
Shadow Break (direct download) is fun freeware action game with a unique take on Breakout – ninjas and other opponents are trapped in the blocks and can be released to the ground to slay with your sword. Aside from slashing and jumping, your character also has an invincible dash and ninjitsu techniques that let you, for example, freeze the ball in place. After defeating all the enemies in a level, the remaining blocks are converted to coins.
Quite a polished little Japanese indie title. I like the variety in the enemies and bosses.

TIGdb: Entry for Shadow Break
A group of teenagers enter an abandoned mansion on the outskirts of town to see if it's haunted… an unimaginative set up for a horror tale, but thankfully it's not indicative of the rest of the game. Released in 2009 by the Japanese developer noprops, Ao Oni has since gained a cult reputation for its inventive scares and challenging puzzles. Given that it's made in RPGMaker XP, the game's not Amnesia-levels of scary, but it squeezes a lot out of the aging engine to provide a suitably creepy backdrop for the puzzle-solving.
Everything you need to play Ao Oni is available at its homepage, including the RPGMaker XP runtime. There are Japanese, English, and Italian language editions of the game – just download your preferred translation, unzip, and run (after installing the runtime, of course). Keep in mind that different versions of Ao Oni vary greatly in terms of plot and design… older versions are available from other websites if you're interested (but beware of spoilers).
TIGdb: Entry for Ao Oni
Hydra Castle Labyrinth is a nice Galious-like by E. Hashimoto (aka "Buster"), who also made Akuji the Demon. The game was released last year and has been fully translated into English by Gary the Krampus.
Tatsunami's Hanano Puzzle is well designed and difficult. It reminds me of Sokoban but with significant differences: switching block positions, complications brought on by color requirements and gravity. It's a challenging game I've found both enjoyable and frustrating.
The in-game instructions (selectable between English and Japanese) are to the point and explain the basics of how to get the colored blocks to touch their corresponding flowers to complete its 50 levels. Some early levels are also both basic and varied enough to teach new concepts without using any clues or hints to hold your hand.
Some have wondered, in the TIGForums' Feedback, why the difficulty can go a bit up and down between some levels. Tatsunami, however, explained it as a design choice to "stimulate the player's motivation." What do you think?

We know you are still recovering from last night's Basketball Wives LA reunion but we have more fuel for the fire. Aside from all the dry-ass byes and cognac tasting like Lorenzo and Sundy spewing unthinkable comments Brandi's way happening on the episode – the ladies also took to Twitter to stand their ground. It was a more dramatic night than usual with Brandi, Malaysia, Draya, and Brittish tweeting that cancer is no joke. However that didn't stop Sundy Carter from tweeting last night and she made sure to make it clear that she has apologized.
Check out our gallery of the most interesting, scandalous and ridiculous tweets of the night. What do you think? Is their anyway for Sundy to make any of this okay? Be sure to check the reunion episode out next Monday at 8 PM ET/PT.

My parents had their first date at TT on Avery Ave, and 45 years later, they are still together. They also still stop for TT pizza roughly once a week (although they now go to the shop in N.Syracuse).
this is a dire tragedy on multiple levels, first that the mistake (as we are human we all make mistakes) will put at risk five people who were already facing an uphill battle; but also that the first responses that some are compelled to call out for lawsuits, and criticize for not learning English. That we then claim for ours to be a christian nation flies in the face of the cruelty we spew. Much compassion and healing to all of those affected by this horrible tragedy.
...and meantime, impeachment was not pursued against the shrub administration, who blatantly lied about WMDs, outright gutted our civil liberties (all in the best interest of the security of the nation...unfortuntately after the world trade center had already been destroyed, but still after he had advanced warning...the logic is frankly dizzying)...got us involved in 2 wars costing us billions of dollars, the contractors "lost" piles and piles of cash...LOL...ah, yes, it would be great to impeach President Obama...he's going to be in for four more years because the rethugs can't come up with anyone with a functioning brain...
Actually, he still lives in the same modest home he bought decades ago, and has made it clear to his children and grandchildren that they should not expect giant extravagant windfalls and trusts etc. Unless you are earning in his tax bracket, he is not advocating that they get more from you...perhaps the better question is what do you need as opposed to what do you want...oh, as for the greedy government, how about those roads, those goods and services.
actually, Germany pays for us to have a military presence there. We aren't there for 'free'.
I like Ashton Kutcher a whole lot more than Charlie Sheen, but I'm not so sure about the ability of anyone to make this series recover...for sure it is jumping the shark.
he wasn't sorry about it until it was brought to his attention that it was inappropriate behaviour. I have greater expectations...especially considering that we get to pay his health care and retirement for ever, for making vulgar and inappropriate videos on our dime? Thanks, but no thanks.
So sad that this child had to endure so much in his short life. Absolutely devastating that the comment above would question the sexual preferences of the children as if that makes a difference. Swift passage dear ones.
come the end of days, you will be asked non-doctorine questions - what did you do in the face of the poor? did you offer them food, did you offer clothing, did you offer shelter? what did you do to ease the suffering of those in need? did you slam your door and count your own coin? or did you offer what you had for the betterment of the community? what did you do in the face of those who did not live by your interpretation of the word of god? did you lead by example? or did you stand on the street corner and shout your condemnation? What route do you choose?
polygamy was an accepted practice when men were scarce and women had neither rights nor means to property. Now, women have more rights and means to property and income, and there is no shortage of men. Not to be funny, but there are probably few women who would be willing to enter into a polygamous relationship, because what does it really offer in security that they cannot get outside of such an arrangement? I think that the institute of marriage is on it's way out due to what the straight folks have done to make it a mockery over the centuries. Marriage between two men or two women can only serve at this point to raise it up several notches.
super proud once again of my hometown for creating a public art work in commemoration of such a momentous part of the history of the area. congratulations to the planning team for a job well done...
I'm very proud of the majority of the family. get help vin.
Nope, I know the whole family very well. May even say that I am one of them.
Funny, I know him very well, and in my opinion, he is doing a great job.
Yeah, I hear he heard about it from his brother in GA... maybe meditation and therapy would help your bitterness and anger issues against Mr. O'Connor. It is always easiest to "know how to do it better" when you aren't actually in the position.
Actually, copyright law states that she would need to request permission to use it in relation to her campaign, if she is using it to 'brand' her campaign.
I find it hard to believe that full on half of the country or even half of the Republican party supports her, as implied by a few posters here who imply that Petty risks alienation of half of his audience. If half of the country or half of the Republican party supports her, we are in hazardously deep trouble. As I saw posted on another forum, I wouldn't vote for her if she were dipped in gold.
Wow. Please be sure to tell me again how it is the unions and the teachers and the people in need of healthcare who are bankrupting the system.
Syracuse University actually owns the land, and the developer will own the building...they don't want to pay taxes? OK. Are there any other developers out there who would like to have a prime piece of land on which to build and guaranteed tennants for 92% of the building, who will pay rent (cause they have the money). Make it open to the public for the bidding on this.
did god tell you? did god really tell anyone? because from what I have read and heard interpreted from the bible, it was actually allegedly divine inspiration and the word of men (and currently three women - Ruth, Esther, and Judith, all of which are in the old testament) and has been 'edited' at various points in history (see council of Nicea, and Gnostic Gospels), and used to guide through parable. So how about the rise of capitalism? Where does that fit into the biblical teachings? How about the teaching which reaches across lines of creed and covenant, to treat others as you would like to be treated? Would the Golden Rule allow for discrimination or judgement of gays and lesbians? Is any one of us without what has been defined in the bible as 'sin'?
actually, Syracuse is gaining quite the reputation around the state, the country and now (apparently) the world for some of the innovative projects which have been implemented. despite rampant criticism of the Mayor Stephanie Miner, Joanne Mahoney, and Syracuse University, much progress is being made. I have high hopes for the future of the city for being on the forefront of environmentally excellent projects, and it is particularly great to see these projects come to fruition on the backs of such a dubious place as I remember growing up (particularly the Onondaga Lake clean up, proposed sewage treatment plant in downtown, etc.). Syracuse has a bright future, despite the naysayers. I do agree that we need to recognize that air travel is a bastion of pollution, and since we live in a closed system (matter cannot be created nor destroyed) we do need to address cleaner modes of transportation. I have faith that we can do this together.

State of New York Indictments of Elaborate Sports Betting Ring Involves Offshore Online Sports Betting Web Sites Allegedly Utilized by the Defendants for illegal sports wagering in the US:
In addition to traditional brick-and-mortar "bookmaking" the Queens-based indictment specifically alleges that the criminal enterprise ("the ring") used non-traditional "wire rooms" in the form of off- shore, Internet-based gambling services – such as www.pinnaclesports.com, and that such sites were used by bettors and agents to actually place their wagers.
It is further alleged by the government that the members of the enterprise used the "off-shore wire rooms" to maintain the gambling accounts of numerous agents through the Internet website in an effort to evade law enforcement detection through traditional methods.
But this is no Wire Act or other US federal law enforcement matter.
This is a NY State law proceeding in cooperation with NV gaming regulators and others, including the EDNY and notably not the SDNY who, since the iGaming sports cases were moved from the ED of MO to SDNY, have taken the lead in iGaming prosecutions in the US.
In any event, the internet sites are definitely part of the mix here --- a much larger mix and alleged illegal operation / enterprise. So, even though this is not an internet-based sports wagering legal case, Pinnacle et. al. sports betting websites are key components allegedly utilized by the defendants to conduct alleged illegal activity, inter alia, as the government contends.
Meanwhile, NV gaming authorities are now investigating Cantor, and Pinnacle sports betting activity is likely on the radar for further scrutiny even though Pinnacle itself has not accepted US sports wagering for many years.
I would not lose site of the fact that the US sports leagues and particularly the NFL are in a major war with NJ (and perhaps everyone else) on the macro-level sports betting issue in the US. While this investigation has been going on according to the indictments for the better part of a year, the timing of the arrests may not be a coincidence. Election around the corner, NJ legal proceedings heating up -- both sides using legal heavy weights (Ted Olson and Paul Clement) -- it would not shock me if there was a possible correlation.
A gaming law and white collar criminal law colleague of mine has pointed out to me that many legal enforcement actions take place in the late Summer or Fall of even-numbered years. That happens to be when elections occur in the US. I found that interesting and it made perfect sense to me, even if in actuality it is purely coincidental. I just happen to be one who doesn't buy in to multiple coincidences that easily.
Time will tell what the real stories, back stories, etc. are on this one.

HE WALKS ACROSS THE STAGE CASUALLY, his left hand in his Armani pants pocket, but his strides are purposeful and his face is locked in a brooding grimace, as if he is late for a funeral. Lyle Lovett exudes mystery, and although the two thousand or so fans (most of them female) attending the concert at the Snowmass Conference Center just outside of Aspen, Colorado, are raising their beer cups and hollering mindlessly, they are here because something inexplicable about this man arrests their imagination. Just why did this singer-songwriter who emerged from the Texas folk circuit wear his hair, until recently, like a thatch of nuclear-radiated alfalfa sprouts? Just why does this native of Klein sing such traditional-sounding songs that, upon closer inspection, discuss the joys of taking one's pony for a boat ride? Why does this slender, vulnerable-looking man write about shooting former girlfriends or asking them to "put down that fly swatter and pour me some ice water"? What is going on in Lyle Lovett's mind?
That people seem fascinated with the way Lovett thinks means that he has succeeded without having to budge an inch. Lovett is an original, though he is also thoroughly Texan. Wryly surreal lyrical images notwithstanding, the themes of family and place form the bedrock for many of his songs. And while radio deejays and music critics resemble contortionists when they try to define his music, the Lovett sound fits neatly into the Texas singer-songwriter tradition, in which folk, country, bluegrass, rhythm and blues, rock, spiritual, and cajun influences have always shacked up together. As with other Texas musicians who revel in disparate regional sounds (among them George Jones, George Strait, and Nanci Griffith), Lovett was introduced to the world as a country performer—one with weird lyrics and hair to match, granted, but country nonetheless. Unlike the others, Lovett broke through to the pop market, the first Texan since Buddy Holly to become a pop star while keeping those traditions intact.
On the other hand, Lovett is as anomalous as a commercially acceptable musician can get. Standing there before the microphone, his hand still in his pocket, barely moving—Lovett admits he's not much of a dancer—he cuts a figure that is all at once suave, ridiculous, extraterrestrial, nefarious, and heartbroken. If Mr. Spock could sing and lose the chili bowl cut, he would be Lyle Lovett, and all of these women would be staring at him while their boyfriends stand nearby, wondering, "Is it the hair?" In fact, it is impossible to resist Lovett's face: Its long, tapered angularity suggests the elegance of an elephant tusk, with an almost diagonal mouth and ears that look like arrowheads and tiny slits of eyes that glow furtively, suspiciously, in the recesses. Like his eyes, his voice at first has a terse and almost dismissive quality to it—but that is merely Lovett's own guardedness, his own fear of heartbreak. The closer you get to him, the more endangered he seems.
Yet the 34-year-old Lovett courts danger. When critics accused him of misogyny, Lovett responded on his third album, Lyle Lovett and His Large Band, with a deadpan version of "Stand By Your Man." Just when the world started getting used to Lovett's hair, even developing a perverse fondness for it, he cut it off. And now, on this tour, he showcases his newest album, Joshua Judges Ruth—a record that is far more brave than his label, MCA Records, might have preferred, given its thematic preoccupation with death and religion, but that the record company has nonetheless promoted with great fanfare. Both the album and the tour say, "Classify this, Bubba." The show opens with a jazzy instrumental, the Large Band dressed in dark suits, casually self-absorbed. When it is Lovett's turn to sing, the song is "Black and Blue," a slow blues number that occupies the darkest possible corner of the genre: "Lipstick was everywhere/And you left her black and blue." The song does not end so much as expire. From stage right, four figures appear: black gospel singers. Not a note of country has been struck. Not a word to the crowd has passed Lovett's lips. But he has already said all he needs to say about who and what he is and isn't.
After Lovett and his thirteen-piece band spellbind the crowd for two hours, they return to the stage for a final encore. The cello player, John Hagen, who has played with Lovett off and on for twelve years, can't resist telling the person standing just offstage, "We're gonna give 'em hell with this one." The person Hagen has told this to is Dr. Hunter S. Thompson, the Colorado-based practitioner of gonzo journalism. Thompson approvingly tips the margarita he smuggled in. The encore is "Pass Me Not," a hymn that Lovett heard for the first time a few weeks back while shooting a music video inside a New York City church on East 118th Street. While Lovett and his band wail out the lyrics and the audience claps and sways like a revivalist congregation, Thompson stands next to the stage, punching the air, hollering as loud as he can, "Give 'em hell! Give 'em hell! Crush them! Crush them like dogs!"
Hunter Thompson introduced Lovett to the crowd at his Aspen performance last December—or rather, Thompson came onstage carrying a cooler full of beer and announced to the audience that Lovett was somewhere between the concert hall and Glenwood Springs, Colorado, "drunk out of his mind." (Lovett does not drink to excess and was backstage at the time; otherwise the statement was completely accurate.) The two became friends as a result of Thompson's developing an almost chemical dependency on Lovett's music while writing his latest book, Songs of the Doomed, in which Lovett receives an acknowledgment.

As health care costs rise and U.S. politicians bash each other over health care reform, millions of Americans are voting with their feet and simply driving to Mexico for health care they can afford.
In fact, a study by the UCLA Center for Health Policy Research estimates that one million people from California alone go to Mexico each year for medical, dental and prescription services.
No one knows how many of the U.S. expats living in Mexico moved specifically for affordable health care. But Dan Prescher, special projects editor for International Living, said that almost every expat he's talked to figured affordable health care into their decision to move abroad.
"My wife and I have lived in Mexico, Ecuador, Panama, and Nicaragua," said Prescher, "and every expat we talk to throughout Latin America mentions health care costs sooner or later.
"If you can get a hip replaced or have a mouthful of crowns put in at half, a third, or less the cost in the U.S., it has to figure into your cost of living calculations in a big way."
Prescher said that even people with U.S. insurance use cheaper health services abroad.
"I've met lots of folks who have U.S. insurance with poor coverage or huge deductibles, Prescher said. "When you can get a dental checkup in Mexico for $30 or get your prescriptions at half the price, you can pay out of pocket, skip the hassle of making an insurance claim, and still come out ahead."

Ain't y'all heard ol' PeePee La'Peabrain get all lathered up about that that there 'Trans Vaginal Ultra Arming'...ohhh yeaaaahhh, he's wantin' to be puttin' fetal firearms, personhood popguns if you will, right in there with 'em...BIG SALE is a comin'!!!!!
I support the Brady Act. I can't look a child in the face and do otherwise.
Explain to this baby, Emilie Alice Parker 6 years old, how you have the right to own an assault rifle. Oh you can't, she's dead.
But you did, more than once, thinking you were making a point. Again, the ONLY point you made is your thoughts are specious in construct and fallacious in process.However, it is not something I normally would argue.
This proves you don't read well, or don't comprehend well, both or something more sinister. You have been told we that have been here awhile have heard these same arguments OVER and OVER and OVER. Often time almost verbatim with neocon websites, essays, etc. See because we don't just tow the left or center lines here, we actually go red the other side and weigh it. Then we say how dumb and bereft of thought beyond a milktoast level it is.It is not like I am operating off a script here(although I am sure some believe I am).
It's kind of like this.... In childhood psychology you learn that babies and small kids have unique thoughts, but patterns are easy to identify. This applies to both individual and group dynamics. In other words, children often think alike and you can often predict the way they will react. Though the individual expression of the thoughts may vary, the underlying causation is the same. This is simply because kids are simple due to a lack of experience and volume of input cognition. It is not, therefore, a shock to hear kids, from all sorts of backgrounds, parrot the same basic reasoning. Again this is due to an immaturity of the thought process. But there is also another reason. It is because kids lack the mental stamina to take the time to analyze things beyond the surface. You see this in adults and it is often called "group think". It's just easier to let your mind be lazy and grab onto something that is closely related to your initial opinion. So this is also why you will hear extremists on the left and right be of like mind. You may think you uniquely arrived at this opinion, but I can almost guarantee it is the product of right wing propaganda input and belies an immature mind.
You can choose to BWAHAHAHA this or whatever childish response you like. I am not holding my breath that you will let go of your precious darlings and see reality. I can tell you with almost certainty that you have made one friend here (mostly out of loneliness) and pretty much turned the rest off, even if they somewhat agree with you. And for the record, no you still did not answer my question without dropping the things I detailed. In fact you said the exact things I said to not factor in, as your answers.
But hey, that certainly gives you the street cred to call me dumb. I won't lose any sleep, or friends here, over it.
You rascal you! I just wanna pinch your cute little cheeks and play peek-a-boo with you. But you might shoot me for attacking you!!! EEEEK!!!
Sweet Jesus! Why should our kids have to go to a school that has armed guards posted at every entrance? Do you not see how wrong this is? That our kids have to be taught in basically what has literally become a prison (remember when we were kids and used to joke about our school was a prison??) to them. Why, in your mind, is this all ok? Why is this becoming the norm? Our kids get to go to 'prison' so you can have a nice big gun that shoots alot of bullets quickly? Man, that's some skewed logic there. I agree with you that the mental helth care system needs to be beefed up to help those who need it, but that's about it. Stop for a minute and think, seriously think, about how you would have felt had you been forced to go to school where there were armed guards at the doors. Day in day out, walking past those guards with their guns, wondering 'Why are they here? Oh yeah, because people want to shoot at us!' You talk about wanting the mental health care system to be better and yet you want kids to grow up and be taught in an environment of fear, which would therefore create a mindset of paranoia in said children and what would that lead to? Hmmmm, more mental cases and who knows what kind of craziness that would lead to............ I just don't 'get it'.
Can we stop with the name calling and get back to the issues at hand? Pretty please??
How about this picture?
Attachment 16783
12 year old girl, home alone defends herself against intruder with moms 40 caliber glock.
OR. How about the story of Melinda Herman, who defended herself and her two twin 9 year olds against an intruder with a gun? While her husband was on the phone with the police.
OR. How about the story of this 18 year old mom, who defended herself AND her 3 month old child with a gun? While she was on the phone with police.
OR. The phoenix 14 yr old that defended himself and the lives of his 3 younger siblings with his dads gun?
OR. How about the texas 15 year old, that defended his life and that of his younger sister with... *GASP* an 'assault weapon'.
I wonder how big the 15yr olds magazine was. /rollseyes.
Why are these pictures not up on Brady's website? All of these children are still alive this day because they were armed, and defended themselves. Why do you want to take their rights away? Who are you to tell them 'my way is a better way' to defend themselves and their families? Would you rather all of these people have been victims? I wouldnt. I am glad they were able to defend themselves with whatever weapon they chose to.
Here's something to get an idea on how your representatives in Washington are likely to vote on upcoming gun-control legislation (list based on their stances on gun control, publicly available information: statements, voting records, ratings from both the National Rifle Association and the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence, and dollar contributions from the gun lobby). Just my opinion, but it looks like any gun-control legislation will have to be fairly meager, and acceptable to a vast majority of people – like background checks for all sales, in order to get passed.

Torche Gets Back Into Its Heavy Groove With Restarter

"Suddenly, we didn't believe," Lennon said in one of myriad interviews cut and pasted into Anthology. (Most of the quotes from the book can be found on the eight-tape Anthology boxed video set, which sells for $130; McCartney, Harrison and Ringo Starr augmented that four-year-old material with some new interviews, but much of the book feels too familiar to anyone who saw the shows when they first aired.) "And it'd come to a point where it was no longer creating magic ... Paul has this idea that we were going to rehearse, more like Simon and Garfunkel, looking for perfection -- and then make the album. And of course we're lazy fuckers, and we've been playing for 20 years, for fuck's sake -- we're grown men, we're not going to sit around rehearsing. And we couldn't get into it, and we put down a few tracks, and nobody was in it at all. It was just a dreadful, dreadful feeling and, being filmed all the time, I just wanted them to go away."
Of all the Beatles boots on the market -- and there are dozens, including a remarkable nine-disc BBC box and several grab bags of outtakes and audition tapes -- Thirty Days is perhaps the most intriguing, if only because it lets us listen to the legends on their deathbed, breathing their last gasps. (Indeed, it's astonishing they would make one more record together, Abbey Road, after these torturous sessions, which were filmed by director Michael Lindsay-Hogg for the now-out-of-print Let It Be.) The birth of a band is fascinating only to those who like their stories happy and sentimental; it's all giddy grins and optimistic giggles, the shiny faces of unblemished promise. The new book is filled with smiley-faced photos and top-of-the-world tales, such as the day the boys smoked pot with Dylan or the time Paul taught Elvis a few things about bass. But the death of a band -- especially this band, these best friends who would so quickly become bitter rivals -- makes for a far better tale, especially when it's laid out for you without history's censors getting in the way.
Listening to the boxed set in its entirety is like watching the Zapruder film over and over; you squint hard and try to see the precise moment of impact. It never gets dull listening to version upon version of "Get Back" or "Don't Let Me Down" or "Across the Universe," because no two versions are at all similar. Each is weighed down by the baggage of the moment. Where one "Get Back" will be turgid and lethargic, hinting at the crushing boredom that threatened to consume the Beatles in 1969, another will be frenetic and thrilling, imbued with joy or even a little rage (the trio version of "Get Back," recorded three days after George "quit" the band, sounds like something off Kick Out the Jams). It was as though the boys had enrolled in a monthlong therapy session in which they could finally let it all out, for better or worse.
"What happened was, when we got in there, it showed how the break-up of a group works," McCartney says in the book. "We didn't realize that we were actually breaking up as it was happening." But how could McCartney have missed it? Only he wanted to be there; the rest considered it "work" -- up at 8 a.m. for the day job they never before had. They resented Paul for taking the role of bandleader, especially given the fact they had so little time to recover from the making of the White Album; when Paul ordered them into Twickenham to begin filming rehearsals for a documentary, which was to culminate in a live performance (they had no idea where at the beginning of January 1969), the other three members all but revolted.
"Even the biggest Beatle fan couldn't have sat through those six weeks of misery," John said. "It was the most miserable session on earth."
Harrison was surly from the get-go: He had spent the last part of 1968 hanging out with Bob Dylan and the Band in Woodstock, N.Y.; he was also producing other artists and working on his own material. He felt he no longer needed to play third wheel to Lennon-McCartney, and when McCartney summoned him back to England for this half-assed making-of-an-album documentary, he at first thought of staying away. He knew it would be unhealthy. He know it would be the Beatles' undoing.
"But I can remember feeling quite optimistic about it," Harrison adds in the book, sounding always like the voice of reason -- the man in the middle, choosing sides. "I thought, "OK, it's the New Year and we have a new approach to recording. I think the first couple of days were OK, but it was soon quite apparent that it was just the same as it has been when we were last in the studio, and it was going to be painful again."
You can hear that pain on Thirty Days: It's palpable, almost unbearable in spots. But every so often, when the foursome stumbles over "Blue Suede Shoes" or "Great Balls of Fire" or "Save the Last Dance for Me," you can hear the joy of being a Beatle. And no book, least of all one so official, will ever give you that.

I promise this will be my final raccoon column - maybe ever.
Well, perhaps not ... but I promise it will be my final raccoon column this week, anyway.
So, my fears became reality a few weeks ago when the raccoon living under my back porch decided the house was a much more cozy place to be.
If you recall, the raccoon living under my back porch has been doing so for some time. I have even grown a small affinity for the little masked bandit whom I nicknamed, simply, Toaster Strudel.
He is so named because upon our first meeting on the very same aforementioned back porch he was wearing an empty Toaster Strudel box on his head like the mask of a pro-wrestling costume.
I can just hear the ring announcer now as the little woodland creatures gathered around ... "And, in this corner, weighing 28 pounds and covered in wiry, grease-covered hair ..."
Then again, ol' Toaster was probably more driven by that final lick of that oh-so-tasty sweet white frosting than a desire to take on Hulk Hogan the Hedgehog.
But hey, it definitely spices the story up.
Okay, back to the stinky animal crawling into my house because it was more cozy than the cold ground under my back porch.
"I gotta do something about that stinky animal living in our house," I told my girlfriend Kathi as I rummaged through the basement clutter in search of my Have-A-Heart trap.
"What an appropriate name," I thought as I swung the trap's outer doors to their upright and locked position and plopped it down on the back porch next to the trash bags torn open by tiny pro-wrestler paws.
"Because I do Have-A-Heart."
After what I assume was Toaster's first experience with a long car ride, I placed the trap on the ground and approached it with the careful hesitation given any pro-wrestler confined to a two-by-six steel cage.

Oh boy. You know how you always have one friend at the party who's like, "Woooo hoooo! I'm so wasted!" before falling down the basement steps, and then later you find out she was actually drinking your grandma's O'Douls? Former American Idol judge Kara DioGuardi's pot brownie story makes her that friend for Paula Abdul. On Lopez Tonight last night, Kara copped to eating some special brownies she found in Paula's freezer…not that she knew what was in them! "There were these, little nuggets, little, you know, take six, not a lot. Six hours later I was like, 'heeeey, what's going on?'" DioGuardi says. "I fell out of bed, on the floor, I stumbled downstairs and I was like, 'I ate too much.' And the ambulance comes and is like, 'this b—h is as high as a kite.'" Why do we get a feeling that Kara tells this story at every party she goes to?
According to Kara, she spent three days in the hospital with hallucinations, which if true explains everything we know about Paula up to his date. "The maid took them out, she was in the hospital, I had six, I almost died," she claims, while Paula maintains that a "friend" must have left them in her fridge. Two things: first of all, if someone ate six of our brownies, no matter what kind they were, she'd be going to the hospital either way. Second of all, whaaaaa?

Important Measure K Update
On April 27, 2015 the Governing Board took a courageous step forward and approved $15,763,850 for the second phase of Measure K funding. This was not a decision easily reached. The essential question was, "Given the reality of limited funding (and the age of JME, LJE and JSE) how do we prioritize facilities projects in a way that supports our highest vision for 21st century teaching and learning programs, while also addressing safety and maintenance concerns district-wide?" The board carefully evaluated the many options before them and approved a Hybrid Project List that aligns to the recommendations of architects Hibser –Yamauchi. While there are far more projects than funding allows, the goal was to leverage the funds in a way that best supports the educational, health and safety needs of students and staff.
Highlights of the approved project list include:
Link for AHS board presentation
A complete list of the projects is available at the following link:

El 27 de Abril, 2015 la Cámara Gobernante tomó un valiente paso adelante y aprobó $15,763,850.00 para la segunda fase de financiamiento de la Medida K. Esta no fue una decisión fácil de lograr. La pregunta esencial fue, "Dada la realidad de financiamiento limitado (y la edad de JMS, LJE y JSE) cómo damos prioridad a los proyectos de las facilidades en una forma que apoye nuestra más alta visión para los programas de enseñanza y aprendizaje del siglo 21, mientras también tomamos en cuenta la seguridad y preocupaciones de mantenimiento en todo el distrito?" La Cámara evaluó cuidadosamente las muchas opciones delante de ellos y aprobó una lista de Proyecto híbrido que se alinea a las recomendaciones de los arquitectos Hibser –Yamauchi. Mientras que hay más proyectos que los fondos permiten, la meta fue balancear los fondos en forma que mejor apoyen la necesidad de educación, de salud y seguridad de los estudiantes y personal. Lo más importante en la lista del Proyecto aprobado, incluye:

CA Physical Education Requirement Accountability
Students in grades 1-5, at all four elementary schools in the Martinez Unified School District, actively engage in the California requirement of 200 minutes of Physical Education every 10 days. In order to assure compliance with this legal requirement, each site has established "Prep C" protocols for those grade levels that may not reach the 200 minute requirements due to minimum days, teacher prep, and / or assemblies. These established practices of running laps, dance & movement, and cardio-conditioning outside of the PE class are documented and verified by the site administration on a monthly basis.

I found this rubber stamp at a a garage for $1 a couple months ago.
Earlier today while packing an order I played with some colouring techniques.
I stamped with staz on black ink, and colored in with gel pens.
It's just so happened that the tissue paper I was going to use was also purple!
All packed to go to Australia:
Next I tried water colors on the same stamp.
I really liked how the tags turned out, so I'll be adding them to my etsy store.

Gear Review
Fantastic if it fits
I have this jersey in black and it fits exactly like the description said -- a little snug through the pits and chest when standing up straight, but perfect on the bike. (Medium for 38.5 chest) Tried to get another in red (twice) but way too tight. The design, construction, and material, however, are fantastic. Never feels wet, dries almost immediately. Good strong pockets plus a zipper stash. Seriously handsome and functional.
Tried a red medium and too small. I'm 5'7" 150#. Too bad.
el pato
I also have the black and it fits great. Tried the red and too small. Don't want to get a bigger size in red because don't want loose arm holes.

Top your tart with fresh green beans, tomatoes, onions and pickled garlic scapes from your garden.
Tart Pastry
1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tbsp finely chopped fresh chives, parsley, basil or a mix
1 tbsp sugar
1 tsp table salt
14 tbsp cold unsalted butter, cubed
1/4 cup ice water
Artichoke Pesto
1 398-mL can marinated artichoke hearts
1 cup cream cheese (one block)
1/2 cup toasted pine nuts
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Large handful fresh basil
Zest and juice of 1 lemon
Salt and pepper
Step 1: For pastry, whisk first four ingredients until combined. Add butter, mix with a pastry blender until it forms small pea-sized pieces. Stir in just enough ice water to make a dough. Turn onto a floured surface and press into a ball. Form into a flat rectangle, wrap in plastic and chill 6 hours.
Step 2: Let dough come to room temperature. Preheat oven to 425°F.
Step 3: Roll dough out on a floured surface until 1/4" thick. Cut into 6 squares, and roll the edges toward the centre a bit to create a border. Each shell should be about 4-1/2" across. Place on a baking sheet and prick all over with a fork. Bake until golden. Cool.
Step 4: For pesto, combine all ingredients in food processor and pulse until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
Step 5: To assemble tarts, top shells with pesto, baby arugula, shaved Parmesan and a variety of grilled vegetables.

Tinnitus Got You Down? Here Is Some Advice On How To Cope With It
Among the most annoying conditions, many find that tinnitus takes the cake. With symptoms including constant noise in the ear (ringing, thumping, etc), tinnitus can definitely throw people off their game. While it won't cause you to feel physical pain, it makes it difficult for you to sleep or concentrate, which negatively effects your health. Keep reading for information on what causes tinnitus and things that you can do to deal with its symptoms.
If your tinnitus is causing you problems, flip on the television or a fan to add some background noise to your environment. This noise, also called "white noise", can cover up the noise in your head, lessening the irritation you feel. If you can only hear the noise involved in tinnitus, you may easily focus on it, thereby making it even more bothersome.
If you are someone who suffers from tinnitus, try to practice different techniques that help will you relax, a couple good examples are yoga or meditation. Feeling overwhelmed by stress can make tinnitus symptoms worse. Good yoga practice and regular meditation both provide effective tinnitus relief by relaxing the body completely.
It probably won't help, but it can't hurt to have your ears cleaned by a doctor if you are experiencing tinnitus symptoms. Wax can accumulate over time and build up, worsening tinnitus. Constantly improper cotton swab usage can pack wax in near the ear drum.
Try to remember if you began a prescription drug regimen when your symptoms of tinnitus first appears. Many drugs have tinnitus as a side effect, so you may be able switch medications and eliminate the ringing in your ears. Slowly taper off the drugs under physician supervision and see if it helps.
Loud Noises
Limit the time you spend around loud machinery or other sources of loud noises, to avoid tinnitus flare-ups. The ears can be badly damaged by excessively being exposed to loud noises. The damage this causes can lead you to hear a light ringing in your ears, a condition known as tinnitus.
Tinnitus, or ringing in the ears, can be a mind-bending disorder that makes you feel as if you are going crazy! Use white noise or soft music to mitigate tinnitus symptoms at night, so that you can sleep. Fans in the bedroom make excellent, cheap white noise machines.
Getting to sleep can be tough when you have tinnitus; providing a source of background noise, such as a fan or a white noise generator, can help. There are white noise machines available with different sounds that may relax you. You can fall asleep when you have white noise distracting you from your tinnitus symptoms.
Tell your doctor if you have tinnitus. There are at least two hundred medications you could encounter that will prolong your condition. If you experience new or increasing tinnitus symptoms soon after beginning a new medication, talk to your doctor about changing your prescription.
Try to have a very low level of stress in your life. If you are distracted by constant noise you do not have to add stress to it. If you manage your time, then you won't be as rushed. Also, work toward resolving emotional problems. Reducing the stress in your life can also reduce the effects of tinnitus on your life.
While tinnitus won't cause you physical pain, it can lower your overall quality of life. You need to find ways to manage your tinnitus. Use the strategies from this article to tame your tinnitus.

What...nobdy mentioned Steve's on Milton Ave...great spot!!
I don't get it. My wife works at a nursing home. They are already understaffed and underfunded. If they cut back staff and funding, the stae inspectors will come in and find all kinds of things they have done wrong...why? Because they are underfunded and understaffed. Makes no sense. If they were profit making institutions, I could understand...making too much money. But to do this to a not for profit does not make any sense and to put our frail elderly at risk??
video doesn't work....working for anyone elese/
The people that write these stories are journalists that I would expect to know it is "an alert neighbor" as opposed to "a alert neighbor". I guess all of the talented high paid people have left the newspaper.
This is great news!! Great restaurant, great people, great bar.....Good luck Otto, hope to see you soon!!
I like the license idea....now hook up the licese idea with the blue square idea and I think you may have something.
Oh, one more thing...the license fee should be high, like $100 per day, payable daily. If you beg today and don't make $100 and don't pay the fee we revoke your license to beg.
Viola...no more beggars!!

Understanding being 'away from home'
His first nine months as administrator of the Masonic Home for Children at Oxford taught Kevin Otis what it's like to be without a family.
When he came to Oxford last July to accept the job at the Masonic Home, Otis left his family behind in Decatur, Ill., so his son — a high school senior — could complete his final year where he grew up.
Although the separation is temporary, Otis said, "It was the best horrible experience I've ever had. I know now what it's like to leave your family."
The experience increased his empathy for the residents at the Masonic Home, as if he needed it after 27 years of helping young people in a residential setting.
Otis grew up in Illinois. He earned a bachelor's degree in sociology at Illinois State University and a master of business administration at Millikin University.
"My first job out of college was at Webster-Cantrell Hall," he said, an institution similar to the Masonic Home. Over the next 27 years, he went from his entry-level job through several other positions and into administration.
Otis' wife, also named Kevin, will be joining him in Oxford after the end of the school year. She holds a master of social work degree and is chief clinical officer at Webster-Cantrell.
In addition to their son, the couple has a daughter, 24, who has a master's degree in education and teaches in Missouri.
Most of the young people at the Masonic Home are separated from their families only temporarily. Very few are without anybody, Otis said.
"The path a lot of kids take is kinship care, an aunt or uncle or a grandparent," he said.
But sometimes these caregivers are unable to manage the task. That's when the child comes to the Masonic Home.
"We allow the guardian to retain authority over the children," Otis said, meaning that the child can return to the family when circumstances make that possible.
The average stay is probably a little longer than two years, Otis said. The child who enters in elementary school and stays through high school is the exception.
"We are one big family," he said. "There is strong participation in the community, and the community participates with us."
As an example, he cited the Vance-Granville Community College culinary program, which is based at the Masonic Home to take advantage of the modern kitchen facilities. The two-year culinary arts degree program prepares students for professional positions in restaurants, hotels, catering operations, health-care facilities, schools and other institutions.
In February, the board of directors of the Masonic Home for Children made a donation to the Granville Education Foundation on behalf of the home, another example of the school's commitment to the community.
And the community responds. This past March, for example, volunteers from Masonic lodges and community organizations turned out to give the campus a sprucing up.
The Masonic Home offers some unique opportunities for its residents. The School of Graphic Arts, for instance, serves the dual role of offering vocational development for residents and providing income for the home. Students are able to receive experience operating all the machinery involved in printing as well as creating designs and formats.
Otis hopes to develop closer working relationships with agencies such as the Department of Social Services and Cardinal Innovations.
"We are a unique niche in the welfare system," he said. "We don't charge, although we ask the family if they can help out. We provide residential care for low to moderate at-risk kids."
Working with other human services organizations is important in responding to all of the needs of the school's residents.
Although no one is happy about the circumstances that bring a young person to the Masonic Home, Otis said, "it's a good choice for a lot of folks."
The current population of the Masonic Home is 63.
"It's increased 35 percent in the last nine months," he said. "We have a capacity for 96. Our biggest barrier is finding house parents."
One of the seven cottages for children is empty right now for that reason. The Masonic Home has opportunities for house parents at different stages of life, including young couples with their own children, mid-life couples and retired couples.
For 140 years, the Masonic Home for Children has provided a home-like setting for children who need a stable and supportive living environment until they are reunited with their families or achieve independence.
The Masonic Home is licensed by the State of North Carolina as a residential foster care home and is accredited by the Council on Accreditation.
Otis said he is looking forward to the Masonic Home's third annual homecoming festival in October. If it's like the previous homecomings, it will feature music, tours and — especially — a reunion of former residents.
By that time, Otis will be reunited with his own family.

I am a long time fan of this joint. I try to get there once a week when I can. Food is great esp the Super Coup, and the heavyweight plate.
Posted by Femme on 05/13/2010
I've gone here for years and I am never disappointed. The food is good and healthy. Portions are generous and the staff are very polite.
Posted by Eva's Regular on 01/17/2010
I love Eva's! In fact, I'm often hassled at work because I order it so often! Love the Vegetarian Combination platter, so delicious, fresh and healthy! I've never actually eaten at Eva's - only delivery. Sometimes seems a little over priced, but I love it so much that I can't resist. Delivery could be a little quicker, but overall absolutely delicious. I keep coming back for more!
Posted by Anonymous on 01/07/2010
My friends and I order from Eva's at least once a week. The food IS extremely healthy, fresh, and delicious! We are huge fans!
Posted by anonymous on 11/03/2009
I was a loyal customer for years, and the food quality has really gone downhill. To call this "health food" is a real stretch. I decided to give it another shot - and they told me they wouldn't deliver to me (even though I am in their advertised delivery area) and hung up on me! This place isn't worth it. There are so many real health food places -- go someplace else!
Posted by local on 08/28/2009
I've been ordering from here for years, Spinach pie is amazing but for the 8.25 they give you a very thin sliver accompanied by a huge salad, I'd rather have more pie. Falafel and Babaganoush is outstanding. Try the carrot cake. Ambience isn't much to write home about but it's big and clean and serves its purpose. Great food, fast delivery, very fresh, employees are nice guys.
Posted by Katie on 06/10/2009
Anyone that left Eva's a bad review stymies me. As a vegetarian and lover of food that is good for you, I am too often disappointed by self-proclaimed "health food" restaurants. The food is often either terribly bland or comes in sad, dinky little portions. Eva's, however, is FANTASTIC! I ordered the Broccoli and baked tofu personal pizza on a whole wheat crust - and its made with nonfat mozzarella cheese and low sodium tomato sauce. It was garlicy, ooey, gooey perfection. I only gave the atmosphere 3 stars because the inside is weird. It's half restaurant half minimart that only sells protein powder with tons of photos of jacked up bodybuilders on the wall. I'm willing to forgive Eva's these minor details for the utter deliciousness of their food. I'm a total snob about food, too, and never usually gush. So go there!

A later start to the school day could help teenagers get the most from their classroom time and local districts should consider delaying the first bell, Education Secretary Arne Duncan said Wednesday.
School districts would still be free to set their own start times, Duncan insisted in a broadcast interview, but he pointed to research that backs up his comments that rested students are ready students. Duncan said he would not be telling local school leaders when their first bells should ring and said it was up to local leaders to make the decisions on their own.
"There's lots of research and common sense that lots of teens struggle to get up ... to get on the bus," said Duncan, the former chief of Chicago Public Schools.
Buses are a driving factor in when schools start their days, as are after-school jobs for teenagers, extracurricular activities and interscholastic sports. The challenge of transporting students to these activities — as well as classes — often is cited as a reason high school days begin at dawn and end mid-afternoon.

Lesson Tee
Swing Sequence: Jhonattan Vegas
• Tips Plus Video: Jhonattan Vegas's set-up drill
Television doesn't do Jhonattan Vegas justice, because when you see him in person, you realize he's big--linebacker big. And he knows exactly how to use his 6-foot-2, 230-pound frame. "Freakish athletic stuff," says his swing coach, Kevin Kirk. Two examples: Several years ago, Kirk installed a launch monitor at his former teaching facility at Cypresswood Golf Club in Spring, Texas. Several young players were taking turns cranking up their driver swings to get the highest possible readout. The fastest one was 119 miles per hour, Kirk says. That is, until Vegas stepped in.→
"He hadn't been in the United States for very long and was playing golf at the University of Texas," Kirk says. "He starts hitting drives, and he's getting up to 125 miles an hour. Everyone was in awe. Then the other kids start asking him to step it up. All of a sudden, he's swinging 136, 137--monstrous." Even more amazing, Kirk says, is that Vegas was still hitting it pure and staying in balance.
That's almost as impressive as the time Vegas was handed a lefty driver. On his first swing with the club, he launched a ball about 250 yards.
"I think it just comes naturally to me," says Vegas, who went from swinging broomsticks at rocks as a kid in Maturin, Venezuela, to winning the Bob Hope Classic in January in only the second start of his rookie season on the PGA Tour. "Guess I was born with it. If I'm hitting my driver well, I'm going to play well."
Practice sessions with Kirk mostly focus on fundamentals: grip, posture, alignment and so on. But one thing they keep an eye on is the connection between Vegas' arms and body. Sometimes he extends his arms out too much at address, as if reaching for the ball. When his arms get too far away from his body, Kirk says, his swing becomes narrow and steep. That produces a ball flight that's too high and has too much backspin.
"He's so big and strong and athletic, he can get away with some poor mechanics," Kirk says. "But when his swing is really on, it's a sight to see. He hits it as straight as anyone, and when you combine that with his length, he's got a huge advantage over a lot of guys out there." — Ron Kaspriske


text: Lyrics from Another DayLuckyiam, a hip hop heavyweight from the West Coast underground scene who emerged in the early '90s, brought about some hard-hitting, game-changing contributions to the rap industry. He started out in Los Angeles, but Lucky hit his prime in Northern California after forming The Mystik Journeymen with rapper Sunspot Jonz and seizing the indie-rap movement. The duo's early days date back to 1994, when they sold mixtapes on the streets and put on shows in Oakland. The Journeymen joined up with The Grouch in 1996 and set off on a European tour. Eventually, the trio banded together with 3 Melancholy Gypsys from Los Angeles to invent their arguably most well known namesake, The Living Legends, in the late '90s. Since then, the Legends co-founder has solo toured internationally with the likes of Atmosphere and performed at events like the Coachella Music Festival in 2008.
