Torche Gets Back Into Its Heavy Groove With Restarter

Relying on music fans with addictive personalities isn't the only way stores such as Euclid Records stave off extinction. Mail-order and online business has been a crucial part of Euclid Records for the past eight years, so much so that Schwab doesn't think that his store would still be around if it were not for buyers outside of St. Louis.
Similarly, Webster Records depends on online orders to stay out of the red. Sales associate Bill Wondracek estimates that a third of the business comes through the stores' Web site. Webster Records is another niche store, specializing in jazz, blues and classical but more in the Dave Brubeck/Louis Armstrong vein than, say, the Rahsaan Roland Kirk or Sun Ra variety. The store is, by nature, rather exclusive in its stock, so online sales have become a necessity.
Some niche shops, such as Ken Dussold's Revolve Records in the Loop, are fighting increasing rent, traffic problems and the gentrification of the neighborhood. Dealing mostly in dance music, Revolve has been in the Loop for the past ten years but benefits very little from the increased interest in the area. In the next few months, Dussold plans on leaving his current location and relocating to a larger, cheaper storefront at 4946 Southwest Avenue, in South St. Louis.
But online orders and niche marketing don't change the fact that consumers are buying fewer CDs than a few years ago. Many industry insiders are quick to blame 9/11 for zapping consumer confidence across the board, though sales throughout most of 2001 were also pretty dismal. Explains Pick: "Basically, 9/11 is the line in the sand that you talk about, but that whole year 2001, sales had been going down and were starting to come back, and then 9/11 came, and that's when it totally crashed."
Pick also blames the Recording Industry Association of America for injuring sales by killing file-sharing program Napster, a system he calls "the single greatest exposure of music that happened in my lifetime, that seemed to point the way to an explosion of people buying CDs and prerecorded music."
Not everyone agrees that file-sharing was good for business, but all record stores are finding ways to increase their stock to bring in more clientele. Vintage Vinyl is expanding its DVD selection, carrying independent hard-to-find releases. Streetside Records has begun stocking more pop-culture detritus: bobbleheads, The Osbournes action figures and frightening little creatures called "Living Dead Dolls." It may seem like a last-ditch effort to bring in revenue, but independent stores have to be creative to make up for the loss in CD sales.
No matter how they do it, independent record stores are finding ways to stay afloat through tough times. Time will tell whether Streetside will be able to survive the bankruptcy of its parent company and hold on to the remaining stores. Perhaps Pick best sums up the hopes of St. Louis' record-buying public: "People don't need one record store, they need lots of record stores, because no one store can afford to stock everything. No one record store can give the experience for everybody."

- Traditional Spanish Christmas candy
- Smooth alternative to the crunchy classic
- More affordable than 1880 turron

- Size - 5 x 5.3 oz/150 g
Fresh roasted almonds and local honey are blended to create this classic Spanish candy. This rich almond treat can be sliced into bite size pieces and served with tea or coffee.

I live in the area and eat there when I am in the mood for Mexican. The food is authentic, good and reasonably priced. Staff is always pleasant and reasonably responsive. Overall, for a casual night of good food at good prices, your not going to beat it, anywhere. Note: I am a discriminating critic.
Posted by Foodie on 07/25/2007
Food is really good. Drinks are excellent. Staff very friendly. Two thumbs up!
Posted by Happy Palate, Unhappy Wallet on 11/08/2006
I've been coming here since 2000 as I work 1 block away. The food is consistent for the most part but there were a few occassions where the swordfish in the sauteed vegetables might have missed it's expiration date; the spices and vegetables acted as a camouflage. The portions are more than ample and chips keep on coming. My only complaint is the prices - there are times when I would give up quantity of food for a lower price, especially at lunch! I can't seem to have a lunch here without paying 12+ dollars unless I sit at the bar (only suggested if you're going alone).
Posted by IF on 08/10/2006
Don't believe the reviews on this restaurant. Does not tally with my own experience. The food is overpriced and poor quality. Not sure about the freshness of the produce. The only good thing that I have tried there are the chicken chimichangas, which are quite good. The customers there are usually loud and obnoxious. The staff are very nice and attentive, however.

Best Mexican food I've ever eaten. Food is fresh and very nice portion size. Highly reccomend it if you're in the area.
Posted by Tim on 07/29/2006
Food is excellent - lots of STRONG frozen margaritas small place so parties bigger than 10 would be tough. great place for a casual date or for a group of friends to get together. very good vegetarian menu too
Posted by Holler4Food on 07/16/2006
Excellent food, definitely one of the best mexican restaurants in the city. Prices aren't cheap but not too high. Margaritas are fabulous, which is always a plus!!! have taken many friends here and they RAVE about the food. Also - they have a vegan menu which is apparently superb, so says a vegan I introduced to the restaurnt! Only bad thing - they don't seem to have much air conditioning if any so if it's a superhot day, and you know how NYC gets in the summer, it might not be cool enough inside. But even if that's so, if it's NOT a superhot day, deifnitely go and enjoy the great food...

Bath NHS walk-in centre set to close in Bath health shake-up
Posted: September 15, 2012|
The NHS walk-in centre in Bath is set to close, with services being transferred to the Royal United Hospital.
The contract for the centre, which is at Riverside in James Street West, ends in April 2014, and the Bath and North East Somerset Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) and NHS B&NES have been considering what to do with the service.
Plans have been revealed to bring urgent care services together to make it simpler for patients to get the treatment they need, and to save public money.
The CCG is proposing to bring GPs and nursing staff services from the walk-in centre to the Royal United Hospital, where the GP out-of-hours emergency service will also be based.
It is not clear if all the services will be transferred, or if some will be cut.
Chair of the CCG, Bath GP Dr Ian Orpen said: "Maintaining high quality care for patients is our top priority.
"We believe bringing these services together at the RUH's emergency department will provide a much better service for local people.
"It will mean that for the first time a GP service will be available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, every day of the year, and it will also lead to better access to hospital services if needed."
He added: "The health centre at Riverside duplicates services provided by local GP surgeries and it is costing taxpayers a lot of money at a time when the NHS is becoming more and more stretched.
"The majority of people who use the centre already have a GP so in effect we are paying for the same service twice."
As part of the review the CCG is also looking at improving services for patients at GP surgeries, including ensuring they stay open at lunchtime.
Dr Orpen said: "We want to ensure that telephones are answered promptly between 8am and 6.30pm, with no lunchtime closing.
"We also want GPs to visit patients at home when it is clinically needed, moving away from traditional home visits after morning or afternoon surgery."

Crop Walk: 2006
This fall, tens of thousands of people in communities across the United States will be doing something Americans usually do for recreation or exercise: they'll be walking miles and miles through the streets of their communities to raise money to fund domestic and international poverty and hunger relief efforts.
The event, which takes place on different Saturdays and Sundays in various parts of the country throughout the year, is called CROP WALK. The walk itself is also symbolic. It is a way of showing solidarity with people in developing countries around the world. In addition, local groups receive some of the funds raised to support hunger-related agencies and groups in their own communities.
This year the walk took place on Sunday, March 5th and many students from Eckerd were present. Eight students undertook the walk: six walked the 5-mile route while two walked the 1.5-mile route. A band on campus, E-Mack and the Yellow Dufi, donated their musical abilities and played at the event. All in all the walk went well and awareness was raised about international and domestic hunger and poverty.
Part of Crop Walk is their annual Peanut Butter Drive. All the peanut butter collected goes to local food pantries and homeless shelters to aid in the fight to alleviate hunger and poverty. This year approximately 1,500 pounds were donated, with a third to a half of that number coming from Eckerd College. Bon Appetit, the college's food service provider, played a big part in helping to raise the peanut butter. In fact, Bon Appetit raised over 500 lbs.

A Federal Trade Commission official asked data brokers on Thursday to shine light on their own activities by giving consumers access to the data collected about them and a chance to fix incorrect information.
Data brokers mine cell phone records, addresses, social security numbers, and other personal information for clients that use their services, often as an alternative to credit reports.
Commissioner Julie Brill voiced concern about the mass of information data brokers pull together about consumers and how it could be used by employers, insurance companies, and others in ways that could harm consumers by affecting whether they get a bank loan or obtain affordable rates for insurance. She said data brokers, who collect information about consumers from a wide range of sources, need to provide consumers with more information about what they do.
"I have long been concerned about data that are used in place of traditional credit reports to make predictions that become a part of the basis for making determinations regarding a consumer's credit, his or her ability to secure housing, gainful employment or various types of insurance," Brill said at a Data Privacy Day event sponsored by the National Cyber Security Alliance. "I am calling on data brokers to take the transparency principle and put it into practice; develop a user friendly one-stop shop where consumers can gain access to information that data brokers have amassed about them; and, in appropriate circumstances, give them the ability to correct that information."
And perhaps as a warning, Brill added: "Data brokers need to get cracking now to put something like this into place."
Data brokers have come under increased scrutiny in recent years following a high-profile security breach in 2005 involving ChoicePoint. Sensitive records on thousands of consumers were lost, and the incident led to a settlement with the FTC in 2006. Several companies, such as Acxiom and Intelius, gather personal information from a variety of sources about consumers, but many people are unaware of their activities, Brill noted.
Brill's call appears unlikely to get a warm reception from the industry. Representatives from the data broker industry questioned the feasibility of Brill's proposal and said many of the biggest brokers already are required to provide such safeguards to consumers under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. At the same time, it would require data brokers to set up a system that would force consumers to provide even more personal data about themselves in order to verify that they are who they say they are, according to Direct Market Association Executive Vice President Linda Woolley. Her group represents some of the biggest data brokers including Acxiom and InfoGroup.
"It's completely unworkable," Woolley told National Journal. She added that most of the major data brokers will allow consumers to opt out of having sensitive data collected about them.
The FTC, and even many companies that handle sensitive consumer data, support federal legislation that would set national standards requiring companies and organizations to take appropriate steps to secure sensitive data about consumers. They also want the law to outline when firms must notify consumers about a data breach. At the beginning of this Congress, data-breach legislation appeared to be one of the few privacy-related measures that lawmakers could pass.
Industry representatives, however, said they do not expect Congress to pass data-breach legislation this year. "It makes a lot of sense to have a national standard around data-breach notification," said Facebook Chief Privacy Officer for Policy Erin Egan. "It doesn't seem like it's likely to happen."
Despite this, Rep. Mary Bono Mack, R-Calif., chairwoman of the House Energy and Commerce Subcommittee on Commerce, Manufacturing, and Trade, told reporters earlier this week that data-breach legislation is still a top priority for her panel this year. She said she was working to try to address concerns raised by Democrats about her data-breach bill but wasn't sure when the full committee may act on her legislation.
Meanwhile, Ari Schwartz, senior Internet policy adviser at the Department of Commerce, said it will likely be a few more weeks before the department releases its long-awaited final report outlining ways to protect consumer privacy online. "We're looking at the right way to roll it out," he said.
Brill said the FTC is aiming to release a separate report before the end of the first quarter.

Big Sandwich - Great taste and Value for Money!!!
I have been going to the BIG CAFE right from the time it started (through a friend's recommendation) and I simply love their food. I am quite a foodie and BIG CAFE offers great taste through its unique and impressive menu. My personal favorites are the mexican sandwich, chocolate sandwich and schezwan maggi with cheese :) I have recommended BIG cafe to a lotta friends and relatives and they relished the food as well. Its very affordable and it comes along with a friendly staff, a cosy environment and the owner's secret recipes who is also a "trained" chef from New Zealand (which I figured on asking!). I hope to see a few outlets close to home in Bandra :)

Heavenly GRILL CHOCOLATE SANDWICH!!!!
went there yesterday with my frnds and we devoured 6 double decker sandwiches!!! The best was the GRILL CHOCOLATE SANDWICH...it was just awesome with the bread soaked in yummy chocolate sauce.....Will certainly return in the future for this one.
from the others i also liked the JUNGLEE Sandwich...the paneer ones were strictly okay while the italian one had loads of cabbage. Dont know but there was too much use of cabbage in a few sandwiches. Also they should maybe make a regular veg cheese grill which we is pretty famous at most sandwich specialist across Mumbai. The best part about the place was that the prices were pretty affordable and they have different sizes of sandwiches for different palates...like small , big and double decker....they also have maggi, pasta, wraps on the menu too at very affordable prices. maybe will try them in the future. one advice would be to increase the range of beverages like having 500ml of colddrinks as there was only nestle lemon ice tea and a few frappes available. they should also add milkshakes to their menu. overall i would say the sandwiches are a must try especially the chocolate one, also they have tied up with a few deals websites like snapdeal, deals and you etc where one can buy coupons and the make their fooding experience even more vfm then it already is.
June 11, 2012response from management at Big Sandwich Company:
Will improve on our paneer sandwiches and have also noted your other suggestions...
We have now come up with our new Eggitarrian menu... Suggest you to try....

Must visit
BSC is a must visit for anyone looking for quick food irrespective of the quantum. You can have a light snack, upto a decent complete meal here. I have tried several sandwiches including their Chocolate sandwich and have found all of them delicious and filling. They also serve Garlic bread and pasta and maggi. Have tried the garlic bread and it was as authentic as it can get. Have also tried their wraps and rolls; the roll in itself was a meal. Intend to try their maggi bowl the next time I visit them. And do try, you will like the place.

Chocolate Sandwich
I have visited a lot of restaurants and cafes in Mumbai, but was never offered a chocolate sandwich on the menu. It was one of the best sandwiches I have eaten, hats off to the chef! I would recommend everyone to go there once and after that you will surely become a regular :)

not jus another sandwich kiosk...!!!!!
Hey guys,
the sandwiches at this joint are really good and different, its for the people looking for different tastes and experiments with their taste buds.
But do try Big sandwich Co.'s chocolate sandwich, its definitely a treat for chocolate lovers. I guess this will bring about a change in the regular sandwich kiosks and provide variety.
shortly " AWESOME".. have a BIG bite at BIG SANDWICH CO...

Decent enough
I liked the chocolate sandwich, but it could be better with more chocolate inside it. It had a good layer of chocolate on the outside and that was something awesome, but I think it should be similar to what the banner shows-- it would be much more tasty.
The American "something something" sandwich was tasteless, could be made much better, again. They have a good big menu and I would like to try some other sandwich next time.

read reviews on burpp and tried this place being in jb nagar...
their chocolate sandwich is such a waste of money ,how can u even think of havin a chocolate sandwich,i mean fusion without knowing the products can b a real disaster and this is a very good example
February 7, 2010response from management at Big Sandwich Company:
Sorry Ms. Rashmi, as you were not happy with our Chocolate Sandwich... but it is very much of personal choice as we have major demand for chocolate sandwich...
I would request you to try our some other sandwich like Mexican S/W, Mayo Cheese S/W, Hawaian S/W and many more options...

Britney Spears pulled out all the stops when she appeared at the Grammy Salute to Whitney Houston. She was at the event to present a series of clips during the broadcast. The Queen Of Pop seen above with friend Jennifer Hudson looked gorgeous in a grey Lever Couture mini-dress with fanned sleeves. Spears has seen a style makeover as of late!
Keep up the good work Britney! You look sensational!

LAWRENCEVILLE - Just days after transportation officials awarded the contract for the long-awaited median on U.S. Highway 78, officials laid the foundation Tuesday for even more improvements worth $14 million.The Gwinnett Board of Commissioners approved agreements between the state Department of Transportation and Evermore Community Improvement District for five improvements, including three parallel streets to improve traffic flow. While preliminary engineering has not begun, the agreements set the framework to use $10.1 million in federal highway money, along with contributions of $980,000 from the state, $1,750,860 from the county and $1,302,186 from the CID. "This was basically the authorization to put in action the last 31⁄2 years of work and planning," said Brett Harrell, director of the CID, which was put into place to help businesses along the 7-mile corridor from Snellville to Stone Mountain. "Today was the affirmation of all that work." Last week, the DOT awarded a $31.5 million contract for the median project, which will also include expansions of the highway and elimination of the reversible lane system. The CID contributed $4.8 million to that contract to be used for landscaping and other improvements. Tuesday's agreements set in motion five other CID-designed projects:•A pedestrian bridge over the Yellow River•A parallel road from Rockbridge Road to Davis Road•Realignment of the intersection of U.S. 78 and McGee Road•A parallel road from Parkwood Road to Britt Drive •A parallel road from Hewatt Road to Parkwood Road Harrell said the first two projects may be completed as DOT crews work on the median, which is scheduled for completion in October 2009, but the other three projects may take longer. "Mostly this is for local traffic," Harrell said of the projects included in Tuesday's action. "It's to allow people to move from business to business or work to home." Commissioner Mike Beaudreau, who represents the area, agreed that the changes would improve traffic and business. "In three years, that road is going to look completely different," Beaudreau said. "That project is going to be a wonderful boon for that area." Commissioners on Tuesday also:•Rejected proposals for a community wireless broadband initiative. Bidders did not meet the qualifications required by the county, and officials said they would scale back the scope of the initiative, which was devised by the governor to allow free and paid Internet access to residents and help draw businesses to the area.•Approved the purchase of 31.34 acres of land along Ronald Reagan Parkway for $127,000. Community Services Director Phil Hoskins said the land would eventually be used as part of a greenway to connect Ronald Reagan Park to Bethesda Park. •Approved a change order to increase the contract for construction of a new police training facility by $152,870.62. An official said the increase was due to changes in the firing range. The revised contract amount is $20.58 million.

I'll bet there are many older rater payers that will be glad to see the rates go up............many of the owners of PPL are older people who have seen the share price of PPL drop from $50/share to $28/share over the past five years. In addition to damage caused by storms .........there is also the cost to comply with the whims of the politicians and the current administration as we all know is no friend of electric producers.
Why no charge for "hit and run"?
Eric, here's your answer: http://www.ncuc.commerce.state.nc.us/reports/undergroundpressrelease.pdf
likewhoa, you can share in the windfall this rate hike will generate...........just waltz on down to the nearest stock broker and tell them you want to share in the bonanza.......PPL will give you about a buck and half each year for each share you purchase...............you'll be rich in no time...............but that also give you the right to go to the next stock holder meeting and let the Execs know how you feel about trying to recover costs........just let them know that you want those cost to come out of your dividend instead of trying to recover it!!!
Alaska has vast amount of state owned land..............the royalties from oil recovered on this land belong to the state of Alaska. They chose to payout a portion of those royalties to each resident. If drilling takes place in any of the Pa state forests land our state government could do the same if they chose.
The drilling is taking place on private land.............not Federal land..........Obama can't easily stop it!
Is there any mystery why gasoline price are rising..............US government eliminates the $.45/gal ethanol subsidy while increasing the amount of ethanol required/gal. That $.45 cents will come from somewhere.
No,but everyday we use the energy produced by TMI..............that includes you.........and the Volt you are driving.
Anyone want to venture a guess on the number of miles of pipeline operating in the US? Can anyone tell us how many environmental disasters occurred as a result of pipeline ruptures or leaks during the last 50 years? Can anyone tell us how many additional jobs have been added to our workforce over the past three years? We don't need no stinking dirty oil/gas/coal jobs.
Contrary to many of those who constantly lament the fracking going on in Pa. that they claim only benefit the greedy energy companies there seem to be resulting benefits that all are reaping.
A business is established on the hopes of making a profit.............not necessarily for the benefit of the people. You and a group of like minded individuals are quite free to pool your money and provide this service for the people of the HIA area should you care to do so..............and for as long as your money lasts.
Most of the land in Alaska is not private property and thus the state can rightly charge extraction fees from oil being taken from state owned land. In Pa that is not the case since much of the gas is being extracted from land owned not by the state but by private individuals. However, there is a sizable amount of land owned by the Commonwealth on which I am sure gas royalties are or will be payable to the state for the benefit of all tax and fee payers in the state.
Rudy, here's a challenge for you. Figure out the cost to provide just one natural gas filling station. And don't forget to figure in all the permitting fees, environmental studies, traffic impact studies and other gov regs needed to build a natural gas distribution station. And then of course just one station would limit the travel distance for state owned vehicles ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,so more than one station would need to be built. Let us know what you come up with.
Wasted money on road signs....one of my pet peeves. Watch for DUI (ok I see one now what?) Keep two dot between you and the next car.....counting the dots and didn't notice the car in front stopped...wham. Keep Pa Green....tell PennDot....they just sprayed the roadside and killed everything. Caution Deaf Child......sign has been up for 30 years. Speed enforcement area.....does that mean speed is not enforced if the area is not posted? Danger Zone, Governor sometimes uses this road.....oops that's the one sign I haven't seen.
If 4 days would be a savings, why not go to 3 days, or 2 days and save big?
poppyseed, I can say I never did anything like this..........never came home from a casino with more in my pocket than I had when I left home! Is this kinda like buying cattle futures?

I find this to be a subject way too few Americans, even those who consider themselves awake are even aware of. When I try to discuss this with those who are unaware the push back is phenomenal, the term conspiracy theorist is tossed about freely and the lights go out in their eyes. People just don't wish to believe this is real, that this country could have ever been saddled with this much tyranny, or that our government today perpetuates this tyranny fully aware that it has to lead to the inevitable demise of this country.

In present-day America, we are being bombarded with increasingly dire headlines about the condition of our nation. Common elements among these headlines of domestic disorder and discontent are reports of unbridled government overreach into our lives, from much-publicized gun control laws, warrantless searches and seizures, to the perverse and absurdly shameful degradation of our human dignity at the hands of the TSA and the DHS.
Today, we are facing an assault on our freedoms for which those who lived before us have shed their blood, entrusting us with the gift of an indivisible nation under God. Yes, under God.

The Department of Homeland Security and police forces label anyone who they disagree with or who disagrees with government policies as terrorists.We have already seen how FEMA refers to the Founding Fathers as terrorists.
In the early years leading up to the first American Revolution our founding fathers were demonized by the majority of their fellow citizens.
In fact the media of their day (newspapers) even went so far as to label them as kooks, wack jobs and people who needed to be institutionalized. This was an ad hominem attack in an attempt to destroy their creditably and turn their fellow citizens against them. Sounds like what we have been hearing from the TRAITORS in D.C. for years from members of both parties.
ObamaGov: The story of a Tyrant and a collaborative Congress…
…..We are living under tyranny now, via one manufactured crisis after another. In fact, since Obama took the helm of our country, our ship has hit one iceberg after another in his attempt to bring the country to its end. With a collaborative Congress, Obama is very close to doing so…and to bringing most of us to our own ends, also.
If We-the-People still refuse to take the initiative to end our enslavement – and coming genocide if still-ObamaCzar Mark Lloyd has his way – we will very soon no longer have any time left.

Obama: Our Tyrant?
Obama: Our Tyrant?

Obama has decided to overturn our Constitution.
When he gets to take the place of the Supreme Court and decide what legislative acts (ie "laws") he agrees with and those he finds inconvenient are dubbed "unconstitutional" he has become a tyrant.
Our Founding Fathers called King George III a "tyrant" because of his impudent refusal to be bound by any restraint. The Parliaments did not matter,the will of the colonists did not matter and no court need be consulted.
That is why we have separation of powers.
That is the point of FEDERALISM!
America is designed to devolve power- not aggregate it all in the executive.
As a learned comrade of ELVISNIXON has pointed out the Democrats are foolish to take this approach in a majority Christian nation. America still leans "Center Right": Take heed Republicans: You have been shown the way by the Democrats.
When Republicans retake the whole Congress and the White House, in 2012, the new President just needs to gather up all the job-killing, union-shilling, socialism-propagating, wealth-redistributing, special-interest-group-protecting, federal laws that have been passed in the last century, post them on a website, and announce that he thinks they are un-Constitutional, and that he is directing the Dept of Justice to "stand down" on enforcing them during his tenure in office.
Let's see how the "big-government-solves-all-your-problems" leftist media likes it when the shoe is on the other foot.
Liberals have so much more to lose by demonstrating this level of disrespect for federal law than conservatives, it boggles the mind that they actually have been so brazen.
If Obama does not like the Defense Of Marriage Act (DOMA) he enjoys every right to say so. He and his allies may campaign to repeal it. But to unilaterally decide that he gets to refuse its enforcement is the act of a King not a President.
Sad to say there isn't a single Republican running for the Presidency that has pointed out this simple fact.
Too bad — it would be a glorious day! Abolition of Democrat-enacted laws b
y refusal to enforce: it's a win-win for America and Republicans.
Possibly Ron or Rand Paul have the political courage to point this out and campaign on the issue. Let us hope so.

Chuco, who died in 2008 at 54, inspired Schwartz to film Tattoo Nation.
"He had these portraits on his legs and they were like photographs," Schwartz says. "On one leg, he had all the actors who played gangsters: Al Pacino, Marlon Brando, Joe Pesci — the usual cast of characters. Then on the other leg were portraits of actual gangsters. One side of his torso was Aztec imagery, the other side was American Catholic imagery, and then there was Mexican imagery merging across."
Even with Chuco introducing him around as his "brother," Schwartz spent three years convincing the community that the lanky gringo with a passion for Chicano culture was trustworthy.
Although the documentary is titled Tattoo Nation, it's clear its heart pulses with the beats that used to bump from the lowriders on Whittier Boulevard, and that Chuco is the film's soul.
"Originally, I was going to call it LA in Black and Gray," Schwartz says. "People thought it was a pollution movie."
The skill and the narrative of Chuco's ink capture the story of California's tattoo culture, which, thanks to Ed Hardy's tattoo magazines and the last decade's reality TV shows, like LA Ink and Ink Master, has spilled past the state's borders to the rest of the world.
"Duchamp said everyone is an artist," Schwartz says. "The tattooed are like directors of their own movie."

It's difficult to imagine anyone getting more raw feeling out of an acoustic instrument than Hawaiian-born music prodigy Jake Shimabukuro does with his amplified ukulele. Shimabukuro started playing at the age of four and never put the little guitar down, winning awards and acclaim in several local bands before starting out on his own. Gently Weeps is an album of instrumental interpretations, headlined by his dazzling cover of the Beatles tune "While My Guitar Gently Weeps," which won him international acclaim thanks to a popular homemade YouTube video. The album is full of energy and heart, justifying the faith of those who fell in love with his sound via the Internet and the enraptured locals of Honolulu, where he worked at the local music store.
While never straying from the melodic structure of the Beatles cover, Shimabukuro manages to fit the whole world into the "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" here. Moments of quiet warmth and melancholy rapture are followed by passionate, dazzling fret runs, dramatically yet tastefully capturing the powerful mix of lost and found that flows through Harrison's song. The fiery climax wherein Shumabukuro launches into a frenzied but ultra precise double-time rendition before gradually succumbing back to the indolence of the crying-guitar mood is something out of this world and worth getting the album for all by itself.
Another of Gently Weeps more stunning tracks is the soft and warming "Wish on My Star." Shimabukuro again plays with a finely honed mix of tenderness and ferocity, alternating warm individual notes with brusque strums. Elsewhere Shimabukuro ably tackles flamenco flourish and—as in "Lazy Jane"—the realm of cocktail jazz, playing smooth, beautiful notes with a leisurely grace over the gentle sounds of a softly brushing drum kit. To wind up the album there's a "vocal" version of "Wish on My Star," with a female vocalist and full orchestration. It's a beautiful song in and of itself, but none of the trimmings are really necessary. It's musical skill and passion that matter and the sound of Shimabukuro's solo ukulele is sufficient unto itself—sweet, stirring, soulful, relaxing, and dazzling. If one single guy with a small guitar can wow the world like this, there may be hope for us.

COLUMBIA Everybody in Williams-Brice Stadium on that gray, October afternoon had to think it as they watched the cart drive off the field with Marcus Lattimore weeping on the back: Was this the last time they would see him in a South Carolina uniform?
2010STATS: 249 carries, 1,197 yards, 17 TDs BEST GAME: 40 carries, 212 yards, 3 TDs in 36-14 win at Florida that clinched USCs first SEC East title2011STATS: 163 carries, 818 yards, 10 TDs BEST GAME: 27 carries, 176 yards, 1 TD in 45-42 win over Georgia that gave USC back-to-back victories over the Bulldogs for the first time since 2000-01 2012STATS: 143 carries, 662 yards, 11 TDs BEST GAME: 23 carries, 110 yards, 2 TDs in 17-13 win at Vanderbilt in the season opener, his first game back from a left knee injury
Lattimore, a junior and one of the most successful players in USC history, was considered a likely candidate to enter the NFL draft before he suffered multiple ligament tears in his right knee on Oct. 27 against Tennessee. But the injury cast some doubts on Lattimores plans for 2013, because he likely would have to miss most or all of the season while rehabilitating.
The answer to the question everybody at Williams-Brice thought about arrived Monday, a month and a half later, in the form of an ESPN report. Yes, that was the last time you would see Lattimore wearing USCs garnet and black, because he will enter the 2013 NFL draft.
Though USC has not officially announced anything about Lattimores status, the report came as no surprise.
NFL running backs typically have short shelf lives, and Lattimore faces a challenging rehabilitation. So why subject himself to more unpaid carries as a collegian?
Or so went the prevailing objective logic in the days and weeks after his injury, even as USC coach Steve Spurrier stood before 1,500 fans at a prayer-heavy, on-campus rally two days after Lattimores injury and told them that he expected Lattimore to return to school. They all cheered, but when the emotion faded, they had to know Mondays news might come. Lattimores football future remains uncertain. He can feel encouraged that several running backs have returned from ligament tears and gone on to have successful professional careers, including Frank Gore of the San Francisco 49ers and Willis McGahee of the Denver Broncos.
Like Lattimore, McGahee suffered multiple ligament tears in his final college appearance, the national championship game for the 2002 season. Still, he turned pro, was the No. 23 overall pick and sat out the entire 2003 season while recovering. In the next four years, McGahee averaged more than 1,100 yards per season and became one of the NFLs highest-paid running backs.
But for every Gore and McGahee, there are dozens of other backs whose knee ligaments betrayed them.
Lattimore was considered a late first-round or early second-round pick before his injury, though he probably will not be selected that high now as teams wonder about his durability. In 2011, Lattimore suffered a season-ending left knee ligament tear. The right knee injury was more severe, and because of how late in the season he suffered it, his 2013 season might be lost.
What cannot be denied is the impact he had on USC football. He arrived in 2010 from Byrnes High in Duncan as the states Mr. Football, and he more than lived up to that honor and his designation as the No. 1 running back and No. 10 overall recruit in his class.
While conducting himself with a quiet dignity that contributed to him becoming one of USCs most beloved players ever, Lattimore led the Gamecocks to their first ever Southeastern Conference championship game in 2010 by running 249 times for 1,197 yards and 17 touchdowns.
Many observers expected him to be a Heisman Trophy candidate in his final two seasons. But he played in seven games in 2011 before getting hurt and nine games in 2012.
He finishes his college career with 555 carries for 2,677 yards (sixth-most in school history) and 38 touchdowns. He scored 41 total touchdowns. His rushing touchdown total was seven better than the old school record and his total touchdowns were eight more than the previous USC record. In 29 career games, Lattimore ran for at least 100 yards 11 times tied for the second-most 100-yard rushing games in school history.
His departure for the NFL doesnt really change anything about USCs tailback situation for 2013. This years No. 2 tailback, Kenny Miles, is a fifth-year senior, so he wont return. And Lattimore was unlikely to begin the 2013 season healthy enough to play anyway.
So USC will begin next season leaning on Mike Davis. As a true freshman this season, Davis has 52 carries for 275 yards and two touchdowns. He was the highest-rated recruit in USCs Class of 2012 and has combined with Miles to replace Lattimore in the three games since his injury.
USC will also bring back Brandon Wilds, who played as a true freshman in 2011 after Lattimore got hurt, but redshirted this season. Shon Carson carried just three times as a true freshman in 2011 before suffering an anterior cruciate ligament tear. He did not play at all in 2012 because of a wrist injury, but should be healthy for 2013.
USCs other current scholarship running back is Kendric Salley, who redshirted as a freshman this season. USCs only running back commitment for the recruiting Class of 2013 is from Jamari Smith, who is ranked the No. 40 running back nationally by Rivals.
They are all fine backs, but it would be unfair right now to expect any of them to match Lattimores stature.

I must say, last week was very productive. The main reason I can say this is because I did a lot of work for my classes, and was able to get caught up. (I was not far behind, but will admit I was slacking for awhile.) I had a quiz in my World Civilizations class, and did really good on it. (99% not to brag though.) This grade is a lot better than my last one; mainly due to the fact that I studied for this assessment. When I was able to sit down and focus, I saw that I can get a great deal accomplished. I also handed in a paper for my Political History of Ohio class; that is worth 50% of my final grade. (WHEW!!) I am really relieved to have these things out of the way.
The professors in the above classes are very laid back and want to see their students succeed. They are not like some professors/Doctors that want to make class work extremely difficult. The two men that instruct these mentioned courses really helped me, and my fellow learners out. One drops our lowest quiz grade (World Civ.) and the other gave us an extension on our paper (Pol. His.). This really helps me, when it comes to my grade in the classes. That is what I enjoy about Baldwin Wallace; we are really "close" and want to help each other out. No one tries to throw you under the bus, and ruin your college experience. That was a big plus for me when I was selecting a college to attend. Well, that's all for now.

Bollywood star judges the talent at Cairo film fest
Madhur Bhandarkar, 44, has been involved in a number of blockbuster hits in India and will cast his eye over the selection at this year's event, which lasts until December 6th.
It will be the 35th edition of the festival and will include films from across the globe, including many from India, while organisers also see it as a watershed for the festival, given that it will be the first since the end of Hosni Mubarak's regime.
In a statement, Mr Bhandarkar spoke of his joy at being asked to attend the event and offer his opinion on the films.
He said: "I am delighted to be a part of the International Jury for the 35th edition of Cairo International Film Festival. I love the theme that they have — 'Positive thinking, revolution and freedom'.
"This is an honour, which I humbly accept."

Hot Turkey Sandwiches with Mushroom Gravy
Open Kitchen 11-22 from WAGM-TV on Vimeo.
OPEN KITCHEN with NATHAN SCOTT
Hot Turkey Sandwiches with Mushroom Gravy
You can also prepare this delicious recipe using some of that leftover Thanksgiving Day turkey meat.
Serves 4
- 4 turkey cutlets (6 to 8 ounces each), trimmed of excess fat and patted dry
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- ¼ cup, plus 1 tablespoon, all-purpose flour, for dredging
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 8 ounces assorted wild mushrooms, brushed, trimmed, and cut into ¼-inch slices
- 1 small yellow onion, peeled and finely chopped
- 1 medium carrot, peeled and finely chopped
- 1 rib celery, finely chopped
- 4 cloves garlic, peeled and finely minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh sage, chopped, plus more for garnish
- ¼ cup Maderia wine
- 1 cup homemade chicken stock, or low-sodium canned chicken broth
- 4 slices whole-wheat bread, toasted
- 8 ounces thick-cut bacon, cooked until crispy and drained
1. Season both sides of the turkey cutlets with salt and black pepper. Then, dredge the turkey in 1/4 cup of the flour, coating it lightly on both sides. In a large skillet, warm the olive oil and butter over medium-high heat until hot, but not smoking. Arrange the turkey in the skillet and sear until golden brown, about 3 minutes. Then, flip the cutlets over and continue to sear until cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes more. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
2. Return the skillet to the heat and add the mushrooms, onion, carrot, and celery. Cook, stirring often, until the onion is translucent and the mushrooms are golden, 6 to 8 minutes. Add the garlic, sage, and Madeira and cook for an additional minute. Whisk the stock together with the remaining tablespoon of flour. Ass the stock mixture to the skillet and simmer until thickened. Remove from the that and season to taste with salt and pepper.
3. To assemble the sandwiches, top each slice of toast with a few slices of cooked bacon, a turkey cutlet, and some of the mushroom gravy. Garnish with fresh sage leaves and serve.

One of the benefits to having a large archive of US dirty deeds such as the one over at WikiLeaks is the ability to see the unauthorized background of rising political stars. Take Dan Sullivan, Republican candidate for the US Senate from Alaska.
Prior to his candidacy for US Senate, Sullivan was in the Bush White House (43) as well as the US State Department. Sullivan's chief political patron was Condoleezza Rice who he served under at the National Security Council while Rice was National Security Advisor to President Bush. Sullivan then went on to serve under Condoleezza Rice at the State Department as United States Assistant Secretary of State for Economic, Energy, and Business Affairs. Rice has now formally endorsed Sullivan for Senate saying "Dan Sullivan is tireless in his defense of this country. He showed that in his service in the military, and he showed that in his service in the White House and in the State Department." in an ad that aired statewide thanks to Karl Rove's Super PAC American Crossroads.
Dan Sullivan's numerous appearances in WikiLeaks are due to the Cablegate leaks from former Army Private Chelsea Manning. Sullivan's name appears in thousands of state department documents in cases ranging from meetings in Eurasia to expand the BTC Pipeline to pushing "market based initiatives" on Climate Change in Germany.
Much of Sullivan's advocacy on behalf of the Bush Administration is laid bare and, not surprisingly, stinks of Big Business shilling such as Sullivan's involvement with the French government where he conspired on behalf of Monsanto and other agro-giants to push back against anti-GMO activists. The use of of government resources on behalf of companies that give politicians massive campaign donations – such as with Monsanto and the Bush Presidential Campaign – is a legal gray area in the United States, but Sullivan definitely kissed the line that supposedly separates state business and business lobbying.
There there is Sullivan's involvement in US intelligence operations. Sullivan is cited as lobbying the brutal and tyrannical government of Turkmenistan to restart a "Surveillance Detection Program."
Bashimov recommended that EEB A/S Dan Sullivan raise restarting the Surveillance Detection Program when he meets with President Berdimuhamedov on August 14. "But you cannot press the issue. Simply touch it lightly and emphasize it is for the protection of your embassy, and your willingness to be fully transparent about it."
As a former member of the National Security Council and State Department Sullivan clearly had access to intelligence information and was even tasked to lobby foreign governments about restarting intelligence programs. Which begs the question – how extensive was Sullivan's knowledge and involvement in the illegal surveillance of American citizens during the Bush Administration? Was he aware of it? Did he approve of it? Questions that need to be asked given Sullivan's unwitting disclosures in Cablegate.
Dan Sullivan has a WikiLeaks problem.

claim that their major problem as that of compliance - people don't
use toothbrushes for long enough and don't do a good job of maintaining
their oral hygiene. They believe that with diligence - all teeth could
be perfectly maintained.
The RADIUS design began at this point - it
aimed to make the toothbrush comfortable and enjoyable - soft bristles,
large head area for low pressure and a comfortable handle.
RADIUS Original Toothbrush
original design was produced by James in April 1982 and was followed
by a lengthy gestation period that lasted until late 1983.
James, Kevin and a group of friends funded
the new company and this investment was used to develop molds and do
some preliminary marketing studies.
The final manufactured version had 5,500 very
thin bristles (about 2/3 the thickness of an Oral B 60 - then the No.1
toothbrush). It came in right or left handed versions and the body of
the toothbrush was made of cellulose.
The design was revolutionary - nobody had ever
thought of using very fine filaments or of using a large head to lower
pressure on the gums. The idea of actually making a handle that responded
to the right and left orientation of the world's population was regarded
as scandalous. This design did not fit into one of those little slots
that toothbrushes were sold from - that had been the main criteria for
the shape of a toothbrush for 50 years.
The head was an organic oval shape - the tufts
of bristles arranged so that they did not line up in parallel - this
meant that they did not repetitively track along the gum line and cause
cervical erosion.
By late 1983 RADIUS was established in a loft
building in New York's Flatiron District, with a subcontractor in Leominster,
Mass. making the brushes. We began selling to design stores, pharmacies
and mail order catalogs.
In early 1984 RADIUS Toothbrush won the "e;Accent
on Design"e; award for the most innovative use of design. Sales to specialty
stores increased and the company became well established.
fan club developed, Sting called to find out where he could pick up
a RADIUS on a US tour, Whoopi Goldberg talked about us on TV, Robert
Redford wouldn't be without his, Jane Fonda had several in each of her
and Cher refused to give up hers to an artist seeking to incorporate
it in a painting of her.
Independent pharmacies, first in New York,
later throughout the country became big customers - giving RADIUS a
view of larger markets. Health Food stores became very strong accounts.
Brookstone, an upmarket mall retailer, selling elegant tools and appliances,
was a major customer through these years. Norm Thompson, the large Oregon
based mail order catalog company was a staunch supporter of our company.
In 1986, the Oral B company approached, the
president's children had begun to use RADIUS, loved it, told their Dad,
who contacted us to discuss a joint marketing deal. The deal fell through
- but RADIUS learned from Oral B the effectiveness of the original design.
in Kutztown
1988, James and Kevin had had enough of New York and bought the Heffner-Dietrich
Grain Mill in Kutztown, in Pennsylvania's Hex Country. The 1863 mill
was restored over the next few years into a very beautiful workplace,
where the world supply of RADIUS toothbrushes are manufactured.
through the New York years, we had been unhappy about other people making
our toothbrush. Eventually this was the principal force that drove us
to Kutztown and to manufacture our own products. Machines were bought,
bristling equipment installed, a variety of English and Belgian "e;lads"e;
were sent over to tune and set up these machines. James became the No.
1 manufacturing guru - RADIUS was in the manufacturing business and
controlled its own destiny.
This decision was serendipitous, new developments
such as the SCUBA and the travel case have come directly out of the
knowledge received from making our own product. RADIUS now attends the
major conferences of brush makers and has one of the most up to date
manufacturing facilities in the world - a visit is recommended.
The SCUBA Toothbrush
original idea for this product came from fascination with a new form
of injection molded rubber (Santoprene) made by Monsanto. We had inquired
of our manufacturer in Leominster, if it would be possible for us to
make a toothbrush with this material. His emphatic and negative answer
pushed us to develop the ideas that led to the first all rubber brush.
Once we had our own injection molding machines
and could experiment - we found it quite easy to make a rubber brush
and shortly after introduced the SCUBA, the name being an evocation
of the similar materials used in underwater diving equipment.
is in a permanent state of redesign and improvement. The all-rubber
SCUBA brush has just been completely revised and improved. It now has
a very soft rubber handle and neck, which absorbs pressure as you are
brushing. The head is 30% thinner (tip of bristle to back of head dimension),
it rates as the thinnest made anywhere - this allows access to the very
tight tooth/cheek space - one of the most problematic for toothbrushes.
Both the Original and the SCUBA brushes are now made with hexagonal
bristles that lock into place on manufacture. These bristles do a better
job of plaque removal and allow 6,500 individual bristles to be placed
in the head.
Travel Case Packaging
Radius spends a lot of time working on solutions
for our users. The travel case and wall clip packaging allows our customer
to easily store RADIUS on trips, to dry it on the wall mounted clip
and has the added benefit that the box is not thrown away - you get
some use out of it.
The use of the packaging to create something
useful out of a potential addition to land fill is part of a philosophy
of investigating the forces behind our products and their implications
on the environment.
Many suppliers of products have minimal involvement
in the production of their product and no intimate understanding of
how to reduce its impact.
Fisher-Price Toothbrushes
Fisher-Price approached RADIUS in late 1998
with the concept of developing children's toothbrushes consistent with
their focus on innovation and quality. The idea was to use our design,
manufacturing and marketing skills together with their research facilities.
Most of the design philosophy was based on
work at Fisher-Price's research laboratory in East Aurora, New York.
They are particularly skilled in the use of focus groups and "e;at home
studies"e; and have a large staff devoted to analysis of the results obtained
from these sources. They have their own school and teachers and have
developed a good sense of what is good for children over the last 70
Research and development started in January,
1999 and we launched in late 1999. Our studies indicated the need for
three individual models for ages six months to seven years.
The four toothbrushes span from six months
to seven years. Each has a different brushing strength - ranging from
ultra soft through very soft - compared to the average children's toothbrush
at 100 grams.
As the child ages the bristle length and thickness
increase - making the brush responsive to the actual needs of developing
Under the age of three, most children have
their teeth cleaned by a parent. The first two toothbrushes, Baby and
Little People, are designed for this - but also allow the child to learn
the basics of brushing.
The spatula shaped handle is wide and flat
and allows the hand to slide up for balance and comfort. Children have
hands that are 20% larger proportionally than adults, yet most children-s
toothbrushes are scaled copies of adult brushes.
The third and fourth toothbrushes, Rescue Heroes
and Jazz, have rubber grips for use by over three year olds - who brush
on their own. The wide spatula handle fits a child hand comfortably
and the grips prevent slipping.
The head design follows the random oval pioneered
by RADIUS. It allows for a very soft brushing action without repetitive
wear caused by parallel rows of bristles.
