Police estimate that more than 81,000 people will protest across Indonesia on Friday as lawmakers debate the government's plan to raise the price of subsidized fuel by 33 percent to 6,000 rupiah (65 cents) per liter from 4,500 rupiah. Up to 12,000 are expected in Jakarta and as many as 50,000 in Medan, North Sumatra.
President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono is under pressure to curb a subsidy bill that threatens to sap funds from pivotal health, education and transport programs, as the nation seeks a credit rating boost from Standard & Poor's to complete its return to investment grade. Surging oil prices led China to boost fuel costs the most in more than two years this month and are straining budgets from Malaysia to India.
"Increasing fuel prices is a sensitive issue not only for Indonesia but for all countries," Changyong Rhee, chief economist at the Asian Development Bank, said in Jakarta this week.
Indonesia's lawmakers have debated the government's proposal to raise subsidized fuel prices since early this month. Lawmakers delayed a vote on the subsidy that had been scheduled for March 29, and were considering whether to revoke a law that requires parliamentary approval for any increase in fuel prices, Tamsil Linrung, deputy chairman of the budget committee, said earlier this week.
As of Friday morning, the Budget Commission of the House of Representatives (DPR) and the government were still unable to agree on whether the law should be amended to allow the government to make changes without going through parliament, should oil costs exceed certain parameters. The DPR resumed at 10 a.m.
Protesters, including college students, members of labor unions, political parties and non-government organizations have rallied every day since March 27 at "vital assets" such as government offices, airports and ministries, National Police spokesman Insp. Gen. Saud Usman Nasution said on Friday.
The National Police estimate 81,135 people will take to the street across Indonesia's islands, which span 5,150 kilometers (3,200 miles), the distance from Florida to Alaska. There will be about 9,900 protesters in Jakarta today, Nasution said. Other reports say up to 12,000 demonstrators are expected.
Other reports say Medan can expect 50,000 protesters.

Tera Nova review
"In the winter of 1911-1912, five Englishmen and five Norwegians raced each other to the bottom of the earth. Only the five Norwegians returned. This is the story of the Englishmen." Thus starts the gripping play, "Terra Nova." As the opening quote suggests this is a show that will grab you from the beginning. Soon you'll feel the icy wind of the Arctic whipping against your face, feel fear tighten its grip on your throat, feel like you have been thrown straight into the heart of the South Pole.

2b stores are located throughout the United States and Canada. 2b was launched in 2009 to provide a more affordable option for a younger demographic. (Press Release)
2b is bebe's outlet division offering trendy, high-quality items designed for the confident, budget-conscious, and style-savvy woman, all for unexpectedly low prices. 2b's designs are ideal for fashion addicts on a budget. It is a one-stop shop to find the best apparel and accessories to clothe a woman from head to toe. (Source)
Bebe stores have made a number of significant changes following the appointment of Michelle Landgrebe as Executive Vice President, General Merchandising Manager of its 2b division. Ms. Landgrebe is responsible for merchandising, design, production, planning and allocation, and visual merchandising. She has over 20 years of top-level specialty retail and wholesale experience for an impressive number of fashion conglomerates.
She reports to Steve Birkhold, the recently appointed CEO of bebe stores, inc. He had the following to say about her abilities: "She has a long track record of building businesses and driving results. Her talents and leadership abilities will help take the 2b brand to a whole new level."
Ms. Landgrebe expressed her hopes for the brand: "I have been a fan of the bebe for years and I have a passion for reaching the young, fashion-obsessed customer that 2b attracts. I am eager to build on the division's current DNA, broaden our reach and position our brand for growth."
These changes to management have revolutionized the brand, making it more attractive to 2b's growing consumer base. The fashion friendly new logo is a hit with consumers and makes the brand instantly recognizable. The new logo can stand on its own merit and discern itself from bebe. (Press Release)
2b was once just the outlet store for bebe, but is now a stylish store unlike any other. They have focused on bridging the gap between the mother-daughter fashion divide, allowing them to establish a wholly independent brand. With the rise of 2b, complete with a booming retail and ecommerce operation, and a line of its own clothes to replace its bebe inventory, 2b needed to rebrand and create a voice and identity all its own.
To complete the task, they turned to renowned creative agency, Tolleson. The relaunch unveiled an entirely new visual identity, including updated logos, typography, photo styling, online presence, shopping bags, labels, retail store branding, and even a new tone and voice that would appeal to both moms and teens. This has created an entirely new retail experience for customers.
The 2b woman was Tolleson's muse as the studio engaged in an expansive discovery process. They embraced 2b's fun and flirty fashion sensibility, but maintained the brand's signature heart icon and color pink. They simply updated and improved the mark by transforming the once ordinary "B" into a unique sideways heart image. (Case Study)

Our guide to great Austin happy hours that you may not have visited yet. More
When diners arrive at Paul Qui's long awaited formal restaurant, simply named qui, they are first escorted to the bar, where bar manager Michael Simon and his team shake up pre-dinner beverages that can also be sipped on the restaurant's spacious patio. "There are lots of savory elements to the drinks," said Simon. "They're boozy but balanced; salty, sweet, and sour, so they can pair well with food." More
On a trip to New York City, veteran Austin bartender Scranton Twohey visited 27 bars in 4 days, and after returning, he lamented the lack of creativity in Austin's cocktail scene. Twohey softly opened Whisler's in the old Rabbit Lounge on East 6th in mid-May, and allowed the word to spread organically. More
A few weeks ago, head bartender Phil Vuong and his team launched a brand new beer cocktail menu at Brew Exchange in Austin. Shandies may dot beer menus around Austin, but this is the first complete beer cocktail menu that I've found in the city. More
At the recently-opened Craft Pride on Rainey Street in Austin, Brandy and J.T. Egli serve Texas-brewed beer, and only Texas-brewed beer. They're serving beers from 23 Texas breweries out of 54 draughts and 2 casks. More
For those who plan to spend their trip to SXSW—or any trip to Austin, really—staying up late and, maybe, possibly, consuming lots of tacos and booze: a solid morning (or afternoon or even evening) coffee is going to be of the utmost importance. Thus, we offer a quick guide to some of the finest cafes in this land of sensory indulgence. More
It's rare to find a bar menu in Austin that doesn't have at least one margarita on it, and it's no wonder that this simple concoction is so well loved under the Texas sun. The combination of lime, tequila, and orange liqueur has the ability to quench thirst and make even the worst heat more bearable. We drank our way around Austin to find the best examples possible. More
Mixing punch is a fun and festive way to serve up cocktails without the fuss, especially for New Year's Eve. Punches are intended to encourage socializing—break out the big bowl and the ladle, hand everyone a glass, and the party has officially started. We polled a few of our favorite Austin-area bartenders for punch recipes, and the results are festive, bright, and easy-drinking. More
They shake them, strain them, and pour them, but where do they drink 'em? Austin is home to many great bartenders who can make a mean drink. They also listen to guests ramble on about their problems, break up bar fights, and clean up spilled beers. After a long shift, it's their turn to unwind. We asked 8 bartenders about their favorite watering holes, whether they're looking for craft beer, calm outdoor space, or classy cocktails. More
Drawing inspiration from his travels and La Condesa's food menu, bar manager Nate Wales incorporates lesser known ingredients into the drinks. He uses sotol in a spin on the Salty Dog, and mixes up his own fermented pineapple spirit for an unusual margarita. Here are 5 recipes so you can make these drinks at home. More
The newly designed space suggests a Victorian-era brothel, with antique mirrors, plush leather booths, and lush wallpapers. A sultry vibe lingers in the private rooms in the back. Flick on the signal light switch and someone will come to your service. Here's our first look at the cocktails they're serving. More
Weatherup, a renowned NYC bartender and the proprietor of Weather Up in Brooklyn, and Tribeca, first visited Austin to watch a friend's bike race and quickly grew fond of the city. "Austin has lots of great coffee, beer, and cocktails, and a lot of good energy," she says. So she trucked her philosophy down to Texas—the third and latest Weather Up is located on Cesar Chavez in East Austin. Wanting to "go big and do it Texas style", the menu at the Austin branch contains 108 classic cocktails. More
Forrest Rogness studied photography at the University of Iowa for five years, where he learned the intricacies of framing the subjects in his pictures. Fortunately for the Austin beer community, Rogness transferred that knowledge to another craft. He says, "[It] was a natural progression into homebrewing—making beers and focusing on composition and balance." Rogness and his wife Diane recently founded Rogness Brewing Company in Pflugerville, Texas, a small suburb located fourteen miles northeast of Austin. More
Bar manager Jeff Hammett brings humor and a bit of snark to the approachable cocktail menu. While he's all for the the fine craft cocktail movement, he doesn't like to take himself too seriously. "Never call me a mixologist", he warned. Fun and flavor are on the forefront of his creations and each quirky name has a story to tell. More
New bar manager Jason Stevens offers an ambitious new cocktail menu at Bar Congress in Austin. His focus on crafting his own ingredients to boost flavors in his cocktails borders on obsession. Stevens looked to Colonial-American fruit preserving methods and makes a number of seasonal shrubs, and he jazzes up a boring gin and tonic with hop-infused gin and a homemade tonic spiced with herbes de Provence, grapefruit peel, cassia, and black pepper. Here's a preview of his newest creations. More
When creating the funky yet uncomplicated drinks menu, the bar staff, led by Kendra Thompson, decided against sticking to pre-prohibition classics. As she explained, many Austin bars already excel that style, and it doesn't suit the vibe at Lucy's. Instead, the menu draws from the classics for inspiration, but syncs the drinks with their largely deep-fried food offerings. Lots of herbs, citrus, and ginger to help cut through the richness of chicken-fried-everything from gizzards, deviled eggs, to yup, mountain oysters. More
The menu showcases a pretty wide range of classic and modern cocktails, but their collection of creative whiskey libations is particularly impressive. On chillier evenings (by Texas standards), you'll want to unwind with a Duck Fat Sazerac (and an order of the velvety truffle egg custard on crusty bread.) Not in Texas? You can still enjoy Brandon Burkart's drinks, since he was kind enough to share the recipes with us. More
Texas might be famous for many of its culinary contributions—brisket barbecue, for instance, and a sizzling-hot platters of fajitas—but coffee? Maybe not yet, but Mike McKim of small-but-mighty Austin-based specialty coffee roaster Cuvée has something to say about that. More
How often does a happy hour sign outside convince you to actually walk in? We were technically already headed to the Liberty Bar in Austin, but the chalkboard sign out front confirmed this was the right place, right time. "Hoppy Hours 4-9, Ery Day Fools!" (How convenient, that's today.) More

Dancing With The Stars
Which DWTS Finalist Is "Too Lazy" to Marry Longtime Love?
"Lazy" and "Dancing With the Stars finalist" don't usually go hand-in-hand. You have to haul booty to even get through Week 1, never mind to the end.
But sexy Cuban soap star William Levy, who took third place with Cheryl Burke on Season 14, told TV y Novelas (via Latinos Post) he's "too lazy" to sign the legal documents to get married. William and his longtime off-and-on love, actress Elizabeth Gutierrez, got together in 2003 and have two children together.
Last August, Elizabeth told HuffPost Voces (via Terra USA) they were planning to get hitched.
"Of course we're getting married. We don't have a set date yet, but we are getting married, why not?" In his more recent interview, William told reporters if he ever has time in his busy schedule, he may make the union legal. According to Latinos Post, William added that as long as he and Elizabeth are in love, a legal document doesn't matter much.
True, a piece of paper can't seal a union, but if one side really wants to get married the other side shouldn't drag his feet. Hint, hint, Papi!

Dating Abuse
Safe and Healthy Relationships
Your son or daughter is growing up. They've gone through elementary school, moved on into middle or high school, and they've fallen in love.
Holding hands in the hallway, kissing for the first time – these are some of the sweeter aspects of those relationships. But there can be darker sides as well.
Abusive behavior can range from demanding that the victim be home to receive a call at a certain time, to date rape.
Forty percent of teenage girls aged 14 to 17 say they know someone their age who has been hit or beaten by a boyfriend, according to the Alabama Coalition Against Domestic Violence. And while most victims are girls, boys can also find themselves abused in a relationship.
The world has become a turbulent, difficult place for many teens. Protect your child. Be alert and aware, and keep track of what's going on in their world.
In an emergency, who should I call?
In an emergency, always call 911. Even if you are feeling threatened but you haven't been attacked, it is still ok to call 911.
Additional Resources
An article with further information about abusive relationships.
Liz Claiborne, Inc. has a good range of information on preventing domestic violence, including A Parents Guide to Teen Dating Violence.
TEAR (Teens Experiencing Abusive Relationships), founded and run exclusively by teens, is another good resource.

Back after two decades with improved stability and comfort.
The Tribute Series Superhawk starts out with the same soft maple body and fast-playing hard rock maple neck with ebony fingerboard as the Rampage. It even shares the same Paul Gagon-designed bridge pickup, but adds a second Paul Gagon pickup in the neck position as well as a 3-position pickup selector and tone control with push/pull coil split. The Rampage's Kahler bridge is swapped for a G&L Saddle Lock bridge for improved comfort, stronger sustain and rock-solid tuning stability. This axe is all about capturing the Jerry Cantrell feel while offering more tonal versatility. Superhawk Deluxe brings on a dark, yet upscale vibe with the addition of a deep Blueburst finish over flame maple veneer on the mahogany body.

ASU offering free program for divorced parents
TEMPE, Ariz. -- A divorce is a difficult time in anyone's life, especially children who feel caught in the middle.
In response, Arizona State University is offering a free program designed to help divorced couples be better parents.
"The New Beginnings program is a program that helps parents develop high quality parenting following a divorce or separation," said Dr. Irwin Sandler, the program's director.
Sandler said the program teaches parents how to handle several issues.
"Things like developing a more positive relationship with your children, learning to be a good listener for your children, learning to provide high quality discipline and rules for your kids, and keeping your kids out of the middle of conflict between the ex-spouses."
According to Sandler, putting aside your differences and being a parent can lead to better things for your kids.
"It can lead to [fewer] mental health problems for your child, less substance use, better grades and higher self-esteem," he said, adding that divorce is a tough time that without good parenting could cause problems for kids for years to come.
To be eligible for the free program, parents must be single and divorced or separated from a spouse or domestic partner during the past two years, and have children between the ages of 3 and 18.
Parents who are interested in signing up for the program can visit nbpdivorce.org or call at (855) 531-0851.

Elders of the Benedictines:
A Portrait and Interview Project
Father Eugene W. Dehner, O.S.B., b. 1914
Father Eugene is a member of the Benedictine community at Saint Benedict's Abbey in Atchison, Kansas.
Q: Do you have any regrets in having chosen a monastic life?
A: No, I thank God everyday I wound up this way. People seem to be very timid now about making choices, especially life forming choices such as marriage or joining a religious order. People seem to have a hard time making firm long-term commitments. I prayed like the dickens before I made vows. I've had many critical times, like in marriage where you get to the point where you might betray one another, and the same thing can happen to a priest or monk. I've been fortunate to make the right choices in serious situations for which I thank God. Maybe it has been someone's prayers that have helped me. . . .

I got a flu shot 11-15. 11-21 I woke up with pressure and burning sensation on the left side of my face and scalp. Yesterday it started feeling like I have needles just randomly sticking in my face and scalp so I jump and slap my face and rub it to make the sensation go away.
Could this be a reaction to the flu shot. Should I head to the ER tonight??
I wouldn't go to the ER unless it was excruciating. I would just go to a walk in clinic or make an appointment with your normal doctor.
Thanks gals. I put in a call to the doctors office that I got the shot from and I'm waiting for a call hopefully in the morning. I will see what they say. My husband fears Guillain-Barre Syndrome. We shall see.
Please keep us updated. Good luck.
Everything okay?
How are you feeling today? I hope everything is ok!
Hope they are able to figure it out!
I'd go to the ER asap! My grandma had symptoms that started out very mild and got out of hand QUICK! Go get it checked out, better safe than sorry!
(Another reason why I refuse to get the flu shot)
Thanks everyone. They found out that my blood pressure is high. Not sure if it is because of the pain or if the pain is because of the high blood pressure. Had xrays of my sinuses and blood work done. Should get results back when I go back on Friday. Right now they are treating the pain.
Glad they are figuring out what's going on.

Here's the preview pages for RED LIGHT PROPERTIES from IDW.

@g_man: That's hilarious!
@g_man: This was a pretty good podcast. I think Red Light Properties is an interesting book to read and I really like the ghost real estate concept. Plus the art looks interesting and I never seen it done before and wow that pretty cool that's there a turn off the lights effect in the lettering and art. The only thing that bothered me is Goldman's views on certain things that I won't discuss on. But I suggest he should check this game that's coming out called Murdered Soul Suspect for current and next gen consoles. It's very similar to his comic book and it maybe can give him some ideas on how he can make his Red Light Properties comic series into a video game. It's a detective who was recently murdered and he's a ghost trying to solve his case and many other people's case as well. He's basically a detective ghost, it's very interesting game he should look at and here's two videos of it. One is just the trailer and other one is an in-depth video of what the game is about. Funny picture by the way Tony, I barely saw you there until you posted a closer picture. lol
Think this book sounds pretty cool
I reaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaallly don't like Comic Vine's review policy, it doesn't even make sense not to review books you don't like.

I was already planning on picking up Red Light Properties, but I'm even more excited now. Dan Goldman is a fascinating guy. I really enjoyed his outlook on being American. Great interview!
@jonny_anonymous: Sometimes we do. We just focus on the books we want to review and ones people want to see reviewed. Every now and again, we focus on others. And we also dive into those not reviewed on the weekly podcast. We generally spend the first hour or so discussing them all.

Some times you do but usually you just skip over them. I'd rather see some reviews dissect a book to really see why it's not working, not just hate for the sake of hate but really deconstruct it. Only reviewing books you like isn't going to help pepole decide if they should buy them because chances are there going to buy Batman and Spider-Man ect anyway but with the other books we're left wondering "so are these other books bad or does the staff just not read them?"

@jonny_anonymous, personally I have decided to buy or not buy quite a few books based on comicvine reviews, even though the vast majority of books reviewed by them are 3 stars and up.
