Desire is crucial to the entire enterprise of global capitalism, and relentless mass advertising with its brutally effective impact upon our fragile senses, incessantly stimulates our desire to acquire, to spend, to consume, to discard.
But those demonized consumer products are at once hollow, beautiful and poisonous.
Their fetishistic quality varies over time and place and between different groups of people. This is a fetishism of objects that does not distinguish their unreality from an essential material, natural or normal reality but recognises, at both the material and semiotic levels, the fetish as a cultural production, a work of humans that is as real as anything can be.
The point is to give up trying to escape this fact, to surrender and acknowledge that consumer fetishes are real, but powerless by nature and any power you might associate with them is an illusion, here today gone tomorrow. 2015 Art Direction, Digital Art, Illustration
Glorious Insults
A personal tiny typographic series on insults.
Insults as well as retaliation and resistance to them are part of an organization's political process which establishes, first, lines of domination/subordination, second, finer gradations of status and power, i.e., a pecking order, and third, opportunities for building coalitions and alliances. It is argued that insults allow for a certain mobility within a pecking order, by offering 'matches' for contestants to pitch their wit, venom, and courage against each other. They also enable audiences to take sides, thus influencing and testing the operation of coalitions and alliances.
Insults are an important social and organizational phenomenon, which causes powerful emotions and enters peoplés personal histories. It is suggested that insults involve a perpetrator, a target and, often, an audience. 2015 Art Direction, Drawing, Typography
AIR MAX hysteria
After an almost ten year pause this year 2015 is the release of the next AIR MAX edition.
This illustration series is a commissioned pitch considering the whole AIR MAX evolution drawn in digital chalk.
Conceptually based on school teaching and its media the whole image series should be evocative of techniques precious knowledge is taught for example in school classes and alike.
As a proud sneaker ignorant, but all so more a draftsman & texture enthusiast I enjoyed producing this series,
never forgetting some critical exposures this fashion sector was and is still accountable for.

PS Hunter
"Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming "Wow! What a Ride!"

onomatopoeia, pronounced (on-o-mat-o-pee-a);
Function: noun;
1 : the naming of a thing or action by a vocal imitation of the sound associated with it (e.g. 'buzz', 'hiss');
2 : the use of words whose sound suggests the sense;
on-o-mato-poe-ic (adjective);
on-o-mato-poe-i-cal-ly or on-o-mato-po-et-i-cal-ly(adverb);
The use of onomatopoeia in comics dates back to the early twentieth century. Roy Crane, the creator of Captain Easy and Buz Sawyer, seems to have an great impact on the popularisation of onomatopoeias:
"It was Crane who pioneered the use of onomatopoeic sound effects in comics, adding "bam," "pow" and "wham" to what had previously been an almost entirely visual vocabulary. Crane had fun with this, tossing in an occasional "ker-splash" or "lickety wop" along with what would become the more standard effects. Words as well as images became vehicles for carrying along his increasingly fast-paced storylines."

infinity! now!
This project consists of a CGI-poster, made for a group-exhibition at Pavillon Kreuzberg in 2014.
Based on the concept of Bataille's Acéphales, we turned this figure upside-down by creating the POLY-céphales, more adequate to our times as we think:
"A crippled and mutilated body & an approaching superbeing, a definitive anatomy of a composite-body-syndrome, a deteriorated system in the moment of viloated integrity & a medical scheme of visceral organization (vulgo: de-monstration), a symbol of hyperdeath & a materialistic totem of vitality…
Andreas Martini and Daniel Hundsdörfer's 'Acéphales' establishes a life-size neomythological monstrance; a body without organs or a bunch of organs without a well-shaped body.
We don't know what it is, but most def a phantasmagoric memento mori depicting the transfinite Sosein of all of us and all of us to come. A 666yoga-fuckup. cheer up transfinity & end everdom, now, please!"

3 tbsp. butter, melted
¼ cup packed, light brown sugar
½ tbsp. ground cinnamon
For the icing:
1 cup powdered sugar
2 tbsp. milk
1 tsp. vanilla extract
Then start rolling it up.
Starting with the long end, use both hands and roll it up as evenly as possible.
Then start cutting, using a sharp knife, into 1-inch rolls.
You should be able to get about 15-16 rolls from this.
Gently place rolls onto your parchment-lined cookie sheet.
Bake for about 10-12 minutes on middle rack of your oven.
Note: Some of them might slightly unravel. No worries though, they still taste Ah-mazing.
While the rolls are baking, start making the icing.
Whisk together powdered sugar, milk and vanilla extract until smooth.
Once rolls are done baking (they should be a light, golden brown color), start drizzling on the icing.
My husband prefers to dip his Cinna-Minis right into the icing.
These rolls are the tastiest when you first pull them out of the oven and they are still warm.
My boys say these go best with an ice cold glass of milk.

Get ready for transformation week: not the moment when everything changes in the nuclear weapons complex, but a critical week when sides line up and offer varying, and sometimes emotional, accounts about what should or should be done in the next decade.Los Alamos National Laboratory hosted the first of two bus tours Wednesday, looking to explain a program of consolidation outlined in a Department of Energy environmental statement – and hopefully gather support. A small group of community leaders were taken behind the fence to four nuclear facilities under discussion in next week's public hearings about transforming the weapon's complex.They caught a glimpse and heard from top officials about what the lab sees as its most essential needs and its greatest prospects for the future. Another group is scheduled to take the tour on Friday.The visitors included business and educational leaders and heads of community organizations.

Bedford police say death and attack separate events
The entrance to The Mews in Bedford, where the body of Sonia Quesada, was found earlier this week, is shown on Wednesday. (Thomas Roy/Union Leader)
BEDFORD — Tragedy shadowed a Bedford anesthesiologist and his young wife who, six weeks ago, were brutally attacked in an apparent home invasion then, this week, were found in a relative's home — the wife dead, the doctor unconscious and a pile of prescription drugs nearby.
The twist of fate suffered by Dr. Eduardo W. Quesada, 52, and his wife, Sonia Quesada, 29, is made more confusing by authorities insistence the two events are separate. Police offered no explanation for how they drew that conclusion.
"It's a separate matter," Bedford Police Chief John J. Bryfonski said Wednesday of the Nov. 24 incident at 7 Proclamation Court that left the couple seriously injured and Monday's events at 49 Kensington Lane.
"The only information that we are releasing is the information that was released in the press release (on Monday)," Bryfonski continued."I'm not going to discuss anything other than what was on the press release," he added.
He noted police "are working the case. The case is open."
According to the statement, one of Dr. Quesada's relatives expressed concern about the couple's welfare Monday morning and Bedford police went to the 49 Kensington Lane condominium where the two had been staying.
Police forced open the door to find Sonia Quesada dead and her husband unconscious. The couple's 2-year-old daughter was staying with relatives at another location.
Dr. Quesada went to Catholic Medical Center, where police said they were able to communicate with him. They would not discuss what he said.Quesada, who is an anesthesiologist and pain management specialist, was in stable condition Tuesday.
An autopsy done on Sonia Quesada's body Tuesday was inconclusive; toxicological test results are pending. The state medical examiner's office said her body showed no signs of violence and her death does not appear to be a homicide.
The condominium is located in The Mews, a private, thickly settled, over-55 community off Meetinghouse Road; the unit is owned by Dr. Quesada's mother, Norma Quesada, 81.
Police found no sign of forced entry, no visible trauma to either spouse and said the couple were the only ones home at the time.
A "large amount" of prescription medication was found in the room, authorities have said.
On Nov. 24, the couple reported an intruder attacked them when they returned to their 7 Proclamation Court home about 10 p.m. The doctor and his wife suffered serious injuries requiring both be hospitalized.
The couple described their attacker as a man at least 6 feet tall wearing a black ski mask and dark clothing.
"It's still a valid description," Bryfonski said Wednesday.
To date, no arrests have been made and the suspect remains at large.
"We're still working the case," the chief said.
Meanwhile, neighbors and workers along Proclamation Court said the $1 million-plus home in which the Quesadas lived now sits empty.
Moving trucks arrived Friday and a few utility crews came and went earlier this week.
Town tax records list Dr. Quesada as the owner of the home; records were current as of Thursday.
Dr. Quesada is listed as a member of Amoskeag Anesthesia PLLC and has privileges at Manchester's Elliot Hospital. Michael O'Sullivan, executive director of Amoskeag Anesthesia at One Elliot Way in Manchester, would not discuss Dr. Quesada Wednesday.
"I'm not really going to answer any questions at this time. Thank you," he said before hanging up the phone.

(1) has policies, practices, funding, staffing, and procedures that are consistent with this chapter;
(5) reports complaints and disciplinary actions on a timely basis to the national registries on appraisers and appraisal management companies maintained by the Appraisal Subcommittee.
The Appraisal Subcommittee shall have the authority to remove a State licensed or certified appraiser or a registered appraisal management company from a national registry on an interim basis, not to exceed 90 days, pending State agency action on licensing, certification, registration, and disciplinary proceedings. The Appraisal Subcommittee and all agencies, instrumentalities, and Federally recognized entities under this chapter shall not recognize appraiser certifications and licenses from States whose appraisal policies, practices, funding, staffing, or procedures are found to be inconsistent with this chapter. The Appraisal Subcommittee shall have the authority to impose sanctions, as described in this section, against a State agency that fails to have an effective appraiser regulatory program. In determining whether such a program is effective, the Appraisal Subcommittee shall include an analysis of the licensing and certification of appraisers, the registration of appraisal management companies, the issuance of temporary licenses and certifications for appraisers, the receiving and tracking of submitted complaints against appraisers and appraisal management companies, the investigation of complaints, and enforcement actions against appraisers and appraisal management companies. The Appraisal Subcommittee shall have the authority to impose interim actions and suspensions against a State agency as an alternative to, or in advance of, the derecognition of a State agency.
(b) Disapproval by Appraisal Subcommittee
The Federal financial institutions, [1] regulatory agencies, the Federal National Mortgage Association, the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, and the Resolution Trust Corporation shall accept certifications and licenses awarded by a State appraiser certifying the licensing agency unless the Appraisal Subcommittee issues a written finding that—
(1) the State agency fails to recognize and enforce the standards, requirements, and procedures prescribed pursuant to this chapter;
(2) the State agency is not granted authority or sufficient funding by the State which is adequate to permit the agency to carry out its functions under this chapter; or
(c) Rejection of State certifications and licenses
(1) Opportunity to be heard or correct conditions
Before refusing to recognize a State's appraiser certifications or licenses, the Appraisal Subcommittee shall provide that State's certifying and licensing agency a written notice of its intention not to recognize the State's certified or licensed appraisers and ample opportunity to provide rebuttal information or to correct the conditions causing the refusal.
(2) Adoption of procedures
The Appraisal Subcommittee shall adopt written procedures for taking actions described in this section.
[1] So in original. The comma probably should not appear.

Hey Rick,Apples to oranges but in Panama, dry season only lasted for 1-4 months. Other than that, I was guaranteed some rain every day and I just learned to work around it. For example, we'd go to the beach and hang out in a cabana until the storm passed through and then run out into the surf. I normally spent 2-5 days every week in the Jungle so I just learned to embrace being wet all the time. I can handle being wet or cold but being wet and cold at the same time is just plain misery for me so I try to keep those two separated. I mentioned it earlier but that happens easily here in Washington. If it does, I adjust my trip accordingly. I've never been to Japan but BLUF I'd suggest keeping a flexible and less ambitious schedule when the weather is like that. Reading a book under a tarp while waiting for a storm to pass through is a fine way for me to spend my time but to each their own.

I can't say I've honestly ever enjoyed wet weather hiking. Like Rick, in these parts it generally turns into type 2/3 fun pretty quickly. Problem is, the weather here can barely be predicted even a day in advance, so to me it IS more of learning to *cope* with the conditions rather than enjoying them. And, like Rick, much of my hiking is alpine where a) I wish to enjoy the views, and b) there is no escape from wind, rain, snow and lightning, and the ever present risk of running into a swollen river is always on my mind. Navigating is also a big problem in many storm conditions, especially since much of my hiking is not on tracks. The best map in the world is not much use if visibility is poor and you have no track. Dry clothes and sleeping bag to change into are my best friends, and of course a good shelter. I don't worry about putting wet clothes and shoes on each morning, but make an effort to make sure they don't freeze overnight!
everyone should go out at least once or twice a year even if just for a day in the wet and wild rain IMO ...just to keep in practice ..because one of these days youll be away and your "weather" will turn nasty and youll need to tough it out ... and be far enough away that you cant just walk back to your car in a few hoursthere was this link i posted awhile back about this hiking group in cali that panicked in wet weather, they made bad decisions, put themselves in danger and needed a rescue ...
Just my personal view, but nothing wrong with dying either--not that i want to, because i have stuff to do here and i wouldn't want to cause any loved ones pain, but really to me it's no big deal either way. I have no fear of it itself, just dying in a very painful and uncomfortable manner i wouldn't want to do. Personally, i would like to exit stage left via hypothermia, fall asleep and don't wake up, not too bad--there are much, much worse ways which i have observed first hand.
I'm enjoying this post. The one thing I miss here in SoCal is weather (of all kinds not just rain). I like to catch any weather I can on hiking trips. It always seems like more of an adventure.Recently I took a regular city umbrella on a rainy overnight and it was great. Especially standing around the campfire in the evening it was nice to not be in soggy rain gear. I plan on getting the Golite silver umbrella eventually - though it'll probably get used more for sun than rain!I also agree that a tarp is better than a tent in wet weather since it doesn't trap the moisture inside like a tent does.
So long as I can stay out of persistent cloud I'm generally happy enough. That can often mean staying off the 'high' tops. Liking waterfalls perhaps helps. Rain by itself not an issue.It probably helps that in the UK it's actually quite rare for rain to set in for an entire day - some sort of on/off showers is much more common - and it also doesn't really come in the sort of intensity needed for full scale flash flooding. Having a selective memory helps a lot :)They even hold one of the mountain marathons in late October specifically to try and get 'interesting' weather in terms of navigation. That turned amusingly 'fun' in 2008. Do a search for OMM 2008 for some interestingly wet videos.....
"Half of the bounce is 90% mental" - TiggerLike many working parents on the forum, I don't always have a lot of flexibility as far as when I go on trips. I can hike in the weather I'm given, or stay home and wait longingly for an opportunity to open up again in a month or two. I'll take the weather, thanks.As far as enjoyment, cultivating the right attitude, as Miles said, is key.Here are my mantras:1. The weather is always exactly what is supposed to be. It is I that must adapt.2. There are many things in life I can choose. The weather is not one of them3. If I wasn't out here enjoying this, I would be______________(Pick one: at work, at home listening to whining, mowing the lawn.....)4. Bad weather is just one more manifestation of the power of the natural world.5. This is going to make a really good story....If none of those work, try smiling and pretending you are having fun. Soon the fantasy becomes reality. If that doesn't work, at least you will look like you were having fun in your pictures. Long after you forget how bad the trip really was, you'll still have the evidence to prove that you were having fun.Knowing you can hike and be safe in all kinds of weather is actually kind of empowering. Trusting that you have assembled the right gear and have experienced all forms of weather is important.And finally, type 2 fun is still fun. Don't let the weather dictate what you can and can not do.
This thread is great. I'm a California native, and grew up where my "rain gear" was the same unopened emergency poncho for 10 years (may be exaggerating a little). Now living in the PNW, it took me a while to figure out that rain could be fun. I also like to do a basecamp + dayhikes type trip when I'm expecting wet weather. I've even pitched an extra tarp above my tent to give me a large dry porch area. Warm drinks and hot food taste all the better when its raining. Whenever I see those tv commercials for coffee/tea (where a woman wearing a cozy sweater is sipping from a hot mug and looking our her window) I always think about how much more satisfying that cup would be sitting outside your tent on a drizzly morning.
I hear you Jim! That was more along the lines of what I was suggesting from a "flexibility" perspective. Not to necessarily cancel the trip but to modify it in a way where you can still log some miles and still enjoy a modicum of comfort at the end of the day. I have a plain ol' (albeit heavy) Noahs Tarp which works well for this. At 9'x9', we set it up in a common area for cooking, lounging, and (ahem) beverage enjoyment.
An experience on Kauai, Na Pali coast, where it rains a LOT:We've carried umbrellas for years, and on the Na Pali coast it really made a difference. When we were there it rained briefly but often. We wore shorts and t-shirts and took out and put away the umbrellas at least once per hour. It was warm, and other than our feet we were dry and comfortable the entire time.But we came across others who were in a dismal state. They were wearing full WPB rain suits, tops and bottoms, and looked miserable. Since it was too much work to take them off and put them on so often they just kept wearing them. I'm sure it was like a steambath in there for hours on end.Two styles of dealing with rain, two completely different outcomes. Which one would you choose?

Damn Hippies ^^^:)I like the rain and all but it makes me huddle under a tarp and drink waay too much coffee. Intermittent rain is fine. the whole entire trip is just plain annoying.
I enjoy the challenge of camping in the rain and the weather can be a very exciting and unique experience.But if I am going on a long trip, I prefer to have mostly good weather. The rain and wet can get tiresome and annoying. It detracts from the backpacking experience.I enjoy getting out in the rain for an overnight, but if I can I will usually wait until there is good weather for a long trip.
Embrace the rain or go mad.There are a thousand kinds of rain: light cold facials, drizzle, sprinkles, a wall of tiny drops like a garden sprinkler and soaking everything, fat spaced drops falling through the trees, full-on thunder showers, and walking through river valleys with clouds 100 feet overhead with big puffs of gray moisture floating through the trees, the lungs of the earth, your hair is soaked and stuck to your head, your jacket is heavy with wetness inside and out, the wet brush soaking you as you walk the trail, everything is gray and green and wet.
"I really love the rain, it doesn't matter if I'm walking the dogs, yard work, or out in the wild."I enjoy gardening and walking the dogs in the rain. I can keep the exertion level to an amount just enough to keep warm without overheating. I can go inside the same day and dry off by a nice fire in dry clothes. Hiking uphill in heavy rain when I overheat, only to face an open top where hypothermia becomes a real issue is a lot less fun. Umbrellas are great if the wind isn't too strong, but again on the tops in the rain this is hardly ever the case, and I still have to deal with getting through the bush where an umbrella become impractical a lot of the time (my umbrella gets more use in hot still weather). It's not the rain that bothers me, it's trying to regulate my body temperature in a sensible manner that becomes the tedious challenge with long term rain. The occasional shower is no big problem, but when it drags on for days, when rivers become unpassable and routes become a muddy quagmire, when hillsides slip and I have to make unplanned detours through thick bush, when the wind is gale force and drives into my face stinging it, these are the things that make the rain miserable for me. It is not always like this, but too often the rain comes with wind and mud and detours or waits for the rivers to drop. And being wrapped in a cloud makes navigation tricky to say the least!

For those who have not been following my project, I have been working on a 3D printed cell phone case for the HTC 8X with the help of this forum and community. Im REALLY happy to say they are now finally available for order!
The designs all follow 3 principals. Protection, Design, and Function. They all protect the phone, without covering the design, and add function.
Protection: The HTC 8X has a soft outer coating that absorbs dirt, scratches easy, and wears off. The design of my phone cases protect the 4 corners, keeps the phone off of harsh surfaces, and keeps the coating for wearing off pre-maturely. Currently I have NOT done any drop testing, but it should help impact resistance. If you truly want a drop proof phone, get an Otterbox!
Design: The minimal design complement's the HTC 8X's great curves, not hide them. Let your color shine through! Currently 5 designs are available, with more to be added later. Also the designs are customizable with your name or logo's for a little extra.
Function: If your an 8X user, you know how hard that power button is to hit with 1 hand. NO MORE! The integrated side grips allow you to hold onto the phone and power it, easily with 1 hand. Also the minimalistic design allows the phone to "breath" during taxing operations like GPS navigation while charging. This case will also not interfere with Verizon's wireless charging! All buttons and ports (except SIM slot) are free and clear for easy operation.
You can order yours from Shapeways.com at gibbage by gibbage on Shapeways! Price is between $25-$30 USD for a stock design. Customization is extra and determined by the clients needs. Im currently very busy, so im not taking custom orders at this time.
To read more about the 3D printed case project, please visit my blog at www.gibbageart.com/case and check often! I also plan on offering Lumia 920 and 820 cases soon!
There is a limited selection of colors. The dye used to color some 3D printed models WILL LEACH INTO THE SOFT CASE!!!! I found this out with my own phone. I will only offer white, and alumide, with acrylic options later. You can spray paint the white case very easily and the material accept paint very well. I spray painted my original prototype black and used it for over a month without any color transfer! Just use good paint and your set! Also you may want to use a sealer to lock in the paint. On the Shapeways forums, people have had good luck with acrylic floor wax and Tompsons water sealer for decks. If you would like more tips, feel free to visit the Shapeways community forums or post your questions here. I wont be held responsible for what you do to your case or phones, and I do not guarantee anything. This is a garage project that im sharing with the Windows Phone community.
If your unsure about a 3D printed case, I understand. Its not for everyone, and I have review cases for WP Central editors printing for them to review it. This is for people who truly want a unique case, and is willing to accept a few drawbacks (like having to paint it yourself)

Heck ya dude, these are looking great. the trick with 3D printers is repetition and experimenting. I'm a mechanical engineer and was at a seminar not too long ago where there was a 3D printer booth set up. You can do so much with them its ridiculous! Keep us posted and put me on the list, I want one!

So I ordered the case before you pulled them. I got it last Friday and it looks *great*:
I had picked the third material which I think was the most expensive. I think it was "Alumide", but I am not sure because the order confirmation email didn't list it. The quality seems good enough and didn't exhibit the issues the video showed, maybe because the other material doesn't suffer the same issues.
Have you tried all the materials that you had put on sale?
Wow! That looks awesome!!!! I tried to print al Alumide case for myself but it was rejected due to the materials more strict standards. Its a lot more brittle then the white nylon so will break easy if the case is too thin. Also expect it to break if you drop it. Typically this shattering will redirect the energy away from your screen and out, but you will be out of a case. Also if you bend it too much, it will break. I had another customer who ordered the same organic case, but it broke in production and they refunded his money. Im surprised yours turned out so well! That's why I pulled the material. Im SUPER SUPER happy your case turned out great, and your happy with the quality.
Im still working on fixing quality issues, and I found another company to print the cases. The problem is the cases would be significantly more expensive, but will be made with a carbon fiber infused nylon that's 4x as strong and naturally black. Another problem is, to keep the price down, I need a minimum order of 25 cases. I need to see if I have enough interest in these cases to do group buys. More info once I get the case back, but thank you SO MUCH for showing me how your case turned out! It means the world to me that someone is enjoying something I made.
Also, aluminum is non-ferris, so it should NOT interfere with the wireless charging. Can you verify this?
Sweet, carbon fiber infused nylon sounds great but slightly expensive. Im still interested. Thanks for the update!My Gaming Rig (Build November 2014):

The cases are back on sale. I got the recent batch from Shapeways (one is on the way to WPCentral for review) and everything is great! Shapeways is standing behind there quality and has come through every time!

SWEET! I think I'm going to wait for the review to see what they say. But if I was to order one of your cases which material is best for painting? Im thinking about painting the spider case red to go with my black HTC 8x.My Gaming Rig (Build November 2014):

I like the idea of red and black for the spider case. Also I was thinking of blue on a Verizon red in the spider to match the classic Spiderman colors, or a high contrast white on black, with the high contrast setting.
That's the cool thing about this is you can truly make it your own, and the material SOAKS up paint AMAZINGLY well. I hit my original case with a can of black spray paint from a plastic kid store and it took a few coats to cover the case. Once on, it never flaked off or chipped! That was after about 2 months of abuse! Recently I used a new method of soaking the case in wood/concrete sealer and letting that dry before I paint. It took a less coats and the paint dried evenly with a nice finish. Better then spray painting the bare plastic. After that you can hit it up with an acrylic clear coat to give it a nice glossy finish.
I will be developing a section on painting tips, but this nylon material takes paint very well.

@gibbage do you think you could design such cases for the nokia lumia 520. The 520 is the highest selling lumia as of now. i am from india and statistics from a European firm show that 70% of lumias in india are 520. If you can design cases for this model as well, i can assure you you will hit a very big market. 70% of all lumia sales are 520, this could be promising for business as well as help other 520 users such as myself. keep up the good work, very impressive.
Just got my brother and I's cases! They look sweet! It looks good in white. Now I'm thinking about 3 different options. Spray paint it white then put on some sort of sealer. Leave it how it is then put some sort of sealer on it. Or spray paint it fire engine red and then put on some sort of sealer. Decisions.. Decisions. I'll make sure to put up some photos in the next couple days when I get done! Thanks for the cool design gibbage!My Gaming Rig (Build November 2014):

PAWTUCKET -- Allen Webster remembers the first time he heard his name come up in last August's blockbuster trade between the Boston Red Sox and Los Angeles Dodgers that sent him to New England.
"I was in the clubhouse," said Webster, who at the time, was playing for the Dodgers' Double-A team in Chattanooga, Tenn. "I saw my name go across the bottom of the screen on ESPN. (The trade) wasn't 100 percent, but that's when I kind of knew."
Webster and fellow starting pitching prospect Rubby De La Rosa were soon packaged with three other young players in the Aug. 25 deal that saw Boston unload three of their high-priced players (Adrian Gonzalez, Carl Crawford, and Josh Beckett) and more than $250 million in salaries through 2018.
"I was definitely surprised," Webster offered at Friday afternoon's PawSox Hot Stove Media Day inside McCoy Stadium, "but it's a great honor to be in a trade that big. I think being here is going to be a very good thing for me."
In Webster, a 6-foot-3, 185-pound righthander who last year was ranked the No. 2 prospect in the Dodgers' organization by Baseball America, the Red Sox have a groundball starter with a fastball that hovers between 92-94 mph and a strong change-up and slider.
Actually, Webster had hopes of becoming a big-league shortstop as a student at McMichael High in Madison, N.C., but during a relief appearance, a scout from the Dodgers clocked him in the low 90s. That caught the organization's attention, and it soon selected him in the 18th round of the 2008 draft.
In 108 games (82 starts) over the next 4½ seasons, Webster slowly made his way up the Dodgers' minor league chain, improving as a pitcher during each step up the ladder. He went 34-24 with a 3.34 ERA, striking out 456 batters and allowing just 18 home runs in 485 innings.
When the Red Sox acquired Webster, they immediately sent him to Double-A Portland and got two starts out of him, but they weren't what Webster had hoped to produce. He went 0-1 in nine innings, and while he fanned a dozen batters, he also allowed 13 hits and eight earned runs.
"I wasn't pressing," said Webster, who turns 23 on Feb. 10. "I just got away from my mechanics and I was falling behind in counts, and [the batters] took advantage of it."
If Webster didn't feel somewhat at ease during his short stint with Portland, he surely felt comfortable two weeks ago during the team's annual Rookie Program, which saw him join De La Rosa and nine other prospects for the week-long orientation.
Not only did they take part in multiple workouts each day inside the practice bubble at Harvard University, which focused on strength and conditioning and stressed fundamentals, but they also attended seminars that taught them how to adjust to living as a Major Leaguer on and off the field.
"It was a great week and a really good experience," remarked Webster, who enters this season as the No. 4 ranked prospect in the organization. "I got to go to Fenway Park and it was amazing. It was great just to see what my goal is and where I want to be."
In the meantime, Webster is looking forward to his first spring training with the Red Sox, and while he's a longshot to break camp with this year's club, he's anxious to report to Fort Myers, Fla. and work on a thing or two that he hopes will translate into success down the road.
"For me, it's fastball command," noted Webster. "I just have to keep it down and be more consistent throwing strikes. But I want to do the best I can and take everything day-by-day, so I'm going to go out there and perform every time and see where that takes me."

During an special work meeting Tuesday night, East Carbon' city council reviewed its strategy for funding new water transmission.
"This is a survival issue," said council member David Maggio following the session. "It's like being in a life boat, either you help each other to survive or you drown."
Maggio's comment comes after East Carbon and Sunnyside were unable to communicate effectively enough to bring a water project before the Utah Permanent Community Impact Board this September. The project, which has been discussed for more than a year, gained traction over the past few months as East Carbon City worked with Johansen and Tuttle's Darrel Leemaster on a project that would deliver 300,000 gallons of new water daily to the city's treatment plant.
According to Maggio, the East Carbon plan would tie in to the water source at diversion two, just below Grassy Trail Reservoir. A new transmission line would then run directly to the treatment plant. East Carbon Officials had been ready with a proposal asking the CIB for $280,000 in grant money to move forward with construction.
"I don't think that there is a town west of the Mississippi that would turn down the opportunity to increase their potable water by 30 to 40 percent," said Maggio. "If Carbon County could increase by that degree their argument with Sanpete County would go away."
East Carbon's plans were cut short as Sunnyside City emailed the CIB asking that their name be removed from the funding application due to several issues including a basic lack of communication.
"There has been one simple fact that has been ignored by East Carbon in their effort to complete this project. They have ignored the fact that Sunnyside Cogeneration Associates (SCA) owns 10 percent of the rights for the water they are wanting to put into the treatment plant for the cities," explained the email sent to CIB officials on Aug. 29. "SCA pays Sunnyside to treat whatever water they use from their water right to run their power plant in Sunnyside. They offered to put in the line and pay for it all if the City of Sunnyside would treat their water for no fee."
According to Sunnyside Mayor Doug Parsons, there are many questions East Carbon would have to answer before Sunnyside officials would be ready to come back to the project. However, the email brought to light another problem for East Carbon's council.
"Of course they would like to put in a line of their own and of course Sunnyside is for it. The problem is, Sunnyside doesn't treat any water for the power plant. East Carbon does and they [Sunnyside] sell it. I have a problem with that," said Maggio.
Maggio reported that in addition water treatment, East Carbon officials had question about the manner in which water is metered for Sunnyside Co-Gen. It was the council member's contention that Sunnyside city and the power plant consumer nearly 80 percent of what is taken out of the Grassy Trail Reservoir daily.
"Mayor Parsons has stated, the City of Sunnyside does not do business without being legal and completely honest about the entire thing," continued the email. "That has not happened and we do not care to be involved with the entire project unless it is done more professionally. Please excuse our adamant objection to this entire project until all the parties are a part of it and they all agree on what is being done."
Sunnyside concluded their correspondence by reiterating that they are unable to take on any additional debt, a matter that strikes at the heart of relations between the east county cities.
"I don't believe the water being used by the power plant is correctly monitored and I also think East Carbon's residents are subsidizing a product which Sunnyside then turns around and sells," said Maggio. "This is the city's water project, not a power plant project. Of course they want to run from diversion two to diversion four, their share goes from 10 to 50 percent at that location. Right now our residents are losing out on a large amount of water. Water that seeps into the ground and old mine works before it ever hits town."
East Carbon officials now plan to meet with the Sunnyside mayor and council to discuss a possible November trip to the CIB.

Athletes put to the test at Sasquatch Throwdown
EUGENE, Ore. -- Hundreds of the country's best athletes gathered at PK Park for the Sasquatch Throwdown, one of the most premier CrossFit events in the Pacific Northwest.
Athletes compete as teams of two, and the winning duos move on to the next round.
In the finals, women and men were tested by first rowing 2,000 meters and dead-lifting heavy weights.
Sean Haworth-Liu and Brittany Holladay made up the female team "Two Peas in a Pood", a tribute to an old Russian weight measurement. Both said the competition out on the field was challenging.
"There are just a lot of good athletes ... that was exciting to see and we didn't make it to the finals but it was exciting to see other athletes that are at a really high caliber," Holladay said.
The winners of the two-day event take home $1,000 and bragging rights for a whole year.

After nearly a month of playing games at the friendly confines of the B-DAC, the Lady Eagles ventured out on the road to take on the College of Southern Idaho. The Lady Eagles were unable to come away with a win as they were defeated by CSI in three sets (25-13, 25-13, 25-15).
The Lady Eagles fell behind CSI in each of the three sets and had to play from behind all game long. In the first set the Lady Eagles trailed 5-3 before getting a point on an attack error by CSI to make it 5-4. Unfortunately for the USU Eastern, they would get no closer for the remainder of the set as CSI jumped to leads of 9-4 and 18-8 before finally closing the first set 25-13.
In the second set the Lady Eagles were able to jump out to a 5-2 lead thanks to kills by Lindzee Bair, Danee Merell and Joy Malone. But again CSI came roaring back with five straight points to take a 7-5 lead. After the Lady Eagles tied the set at 8-8, the Golden Eagles shifted into another gear as they built their lead to six points at 19-13 before scoring the final six points of the set to go up 2-0.
In the third and final set, the CSI wasted no time as they soared out to a 10 point lead at 12-2. Despite being down, the Lady Eagles were able to string together a few points to bring the lead back down to single digits. However the early set lead became too much for the Lady Eagles to overcome as CSI completed the sweep winning the final set 25-15.
Parkinson lead the Lady Eagles with seven kills. Kylie Cordon added five kills and Bair, Malone and Merrell each finished with three kills. Abigale Ericson led the team with 13 digs and Merrell led all Lady Eagles with 15 assists.
The Lady Eagles, now 4-16 and 1-3 in Scenic West conference play, were scheduled to face North Idaho College on Saturday, but the game was cancelled to due the memorial service for basketball coach Brad Barton which took place the same day in Ogden.
The game between the Lady Eagles and NIC has been rescheduled for Wednesday, Oct. 19 in Coeur d'Alene.
The Lady Eagles will now head to Colorado for the first of three straight games on the road first against Colorado Northwestern Community College on Saturday.

MASSENA The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has announced its decision to move ahead on its proposed plan for Alcoa to clean up nearly two decades worth of industrial pollutants released in the Grasse River. The EPAs approximately $245 million plan, recommended by a number of elected officials who weighed in on the cleanup, will include capping the majority of contaminated sediments in the rivers main channel, along with some dredging near the shoreline.
Alcoa released wastes from its aluminum production and fabrication facilities, including polychlorinated biphenyls and other industrial pollutants, from the 1950s until the mid-1970s on the facilitys property and into the Grasse River.
Those actions have resulted in contaminated sediments in the waters near the Alcoa West plant and approximately seven miles downstream. Alcoa is liable for the cost of the cleanup.
The EPAs decision comes one week after Alcoa announced its plans to proceed with the next phase of the modernization of its Massena aluminum production facilities, contingent on whether the EPA moves ahead with its proposed cleanup plan. Modernization is a requirement of a deal with the state that guarantees Alcoa a long-term supply of low-cost electricity from the New York Power Authority.
Alcoa has pledged to spend $42 million toward modernization work that would begin in June 2013, and contribute $10 million toward economic development in the north country.
Sen. Charles R. Schumer, who visited the Alcoa East Plant Monday to urge the EPA to move ahead on its proposed cleanup plan, praised the federal agencys decision, saying it favorably balanced environmental responsibility with economic stability.
The EPAs official release of this fair and balanced Record of Decision is wonderful news for the north country on two fronts. It will clean up the Grasse River and allow Alcoa the flexibility and certainty it needs to retain over 900 jobs and expand its operations at the East Plant, which we believe will inevitably create even more jobs, Mr. Schumer said in a statement.This is one of the best things to happen to the region and St. Lawrence County in a very long time, and I am very proud that we have been a part of it from the beginning to end.
Alcoa will spend two years designing a remediation strategy, and plan to bid the work out in 2015, with the majority of the remediation work expected to occur between 2016 and 2020.
The decision drew scathing criticism from members of the Mohawk community, who say they bore the brunt of the damage caused by almost two decades of contaminants released by the aluminum manufacturer.
Saint Regis Mohawk Tribal Council Chief Ron LaFrance, Jr. said the tribe is pretty disappointed the EPA went with its proposed Grasse River remediation, saying they wanted to see a more thorough, and costly cleanup to remove contaminants which many say have caused substantial damages to the health and well-being of Akwesasne residents.
Everybody in Akwesasne is disappointed. When they came to Akwesasne, we told them what that (pollution in the) river did to us, and we dont think they heard us, said Mr. LaFrance.
At a public information session EPA officials held in Akwesasne last November, more than a dozen Mohawks expressed criticism of the agencys proposed remediation plan.
Mr. LaFrance said the EPAs decision reflects a desire to appease big business, and disregards the Mohawk people who were most affected by the pollution.
Mr. LaFrance and others in the Mohawk community have expressed the opinion that the EPA is too heavily influenced by economic interests and too weakly committed to its mission of promoting environmental and human health.
The EPA explored 10 different cleanup alternatives, ranging from a three-year, $114 million option to an 18-year, $1.3 billion option, EPA Remedial Project Manager Young S. Chang said.
In November, EPA officials held a series of public information sessions in Massena and Akwesasne to gauge the support of the local community, because local community acceptance is one of nine factors the EPA considers when making its decision. Other factors the EPA considers in its decision include the cost of the cleanup, state acceptance, short- and long-term effectiveness, and overall protection to human health and the environment.
The majority of Massena residents expressed support for the proposed remediation plan, but most Akwesasne residents who commented at the hearing expressed a desire to see the most expensive and most thorough remediation for the Grasse River.
Echoing the statements of many Massena residents, government and economic officials, Supervisor Joseph D. Gray said he felt the EPAs chosen cleanup plan is in the best interest of both supporting the local economy and cleaning the river of cancerous toxins, which resulted in a New York State Department of Health advisory not to consume fish caught from the river.
The proposed remediation makes the best of a bad situation. It will significantly improve the quality of the river at a reasonable cost to Alcoa, Mr. Gray said. Its practical and makes sense. I consider this good news for the greater community.
Congressman Bill Owens also applauded the EPAs decision, saying it would provide a staple for jobs and economic stability in the area.
Finalizing a plan to clean up the Grasse River is another positive step forward for Alcoa, for workers and labor at the facility and for their families in the community, Owens said. Todays announcement eliminates a roadblock that has created uncertainty around Alcoas modernization, and I applaud this progress.

LOCATION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:Deb Fennell Auditorium (9000 SW Durham Road, Tigard, Tigard, Ore.)
DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:"What's a Jellicle cat?" It's a phrase repeated throughout the opening of Andrew Lloyd Webber's seminal oddity Cats, which somehow became an instant smash upon its 1981 release, and it's a question that's plagued my thoughts since age 7, when my teenage brother returned from a Detroit production with cat-scratch fever. Wanting to impress him, I stole the tape and set about memorizing every word. Months later, I made my debut, regaling him with a pretty damned accurate rendition of the whimsical "Mr. Mistoffelees." He was appalled: "What the hell is wrong with you? You're so lame." I was crushed. I had never seen the play, but the songs remained, haunting my psyche but still making little sense. Webber harvested his idea from a series of T.S. Eliot poems, which he put through the filter of cheesy hot jazz and creepy, off-key synthesizer cues. Then, apparently, he raided David Bowie's costume closet post-Labyrinth. What the hell was Webber on? Two decades and far too much contemplation later, I finally chanced upon Broadway Rose's revival and learned the answer: There are no answers. But, oh, what a glorious spectacle, re-created here in all its nonsensical, synth-blasting, jaw-droppingly wacky glory. What is a Jellicle cat? Why, it's an excuse for an actor to don a skintight leotard and belt out jazzy balladry while performing extremely elaborate and acrobatic choreography. It shows how versatile actors are—and how well they can endure repeated utterances of the word "Skimbleshanks" without breaking into giggles. This troupe, without exception, nails every beat. Seven-year-old me would have been amazed. Thirty-one-year-old me wanted to drink heavily, immediately, and go home and listen to the Glee soundtrack. That's what the cool kids like these days, right?

text: Poorer kids have more asthma by Lynda Crawford, Nov 01, 1999 Twitter The Topic: "Social Services" are all the ways the City and State provides support and assistance to those citizens who lack the means to obtain basic necessities food, shelter, employment, medical care. This includes the poor, elderly, disabled, abused, homeless and mentally ill. The Context: In 1997, the Social Service departments and agencies received almost 20% of the City's total budget appropriations. Rendering services to NYC citizens is a mammoth undertaking -- requiring time, money and considerable human resources. Huge caseload numbers and understaffed agencies leave the City overburdened and underprepared. Add the occasional scandal or tragedy to the mix, and the ensuing politics bring additional stress to the system. The result? The City is struggling to provide the most basic level of service, even to its neediest clients. And the debate about the best way to remedy these problems continues, perhaps indefinitely....

SALT LAKE CITY - University of Utah Health Care has been ranked among the nation's top health care providers in U.S. News & World Report for 2010-11. The 21st annual survey of America's Best Hospitals marks University of Utah Health Care's 17th appearance in the report of the finest health care systems in the U.S., which is set to hit newsstands on July 27.
The annual rankings look at 16 medical specialties to list the top 50 hospitals in each area. This year, University of Utah Health Care made the list in two categories: pulmonary, and ear, nose and throat services (ENT). The magazine evaluated 4,852 hospitals and only 152 managed to be ranked in even a single specialty. These numbers place University of Utah Health Care in the top 3 percent of hospitals nationwide.
"It is always gratifying to be ranked among the best, and this recognition truly reflects the hard work and dedication of our physicians and staff," says Lorris Betz, M.D., Ph.D., chief executive officer of University of Utah Health Care and senior vice president for University of Utah Health Sciences. "Our first priority is always to our patients and we continually work to provide them with the best health care through a combination of service, comfort, personal care, and technical excellence."
The rankings were primarily driven by hard data such as patient safety, procedure volume, and patient-to-nurse ratio. To be considered in the data-driven specialties, a hospital first had to meet at least one of four criteria: It had to be a teaching hospital, or be affiliated with a medical school, or have at least 200 beds, or have 100 or more beds and the availability of four or more types of medical technology considered important in a high-quality medical facility, such as a PET/CT scanner and certain precision radiation therapies.
Next, the hospitals had to meet a volume requirement, individually calculated for each specialty. The required volume was the number of Medicare inpatients from 2006 to 2008 who had various specified procedures and conditions in the specialty.
"When the stakes are high, you want the best care you can get for yourself or someone close to you," said Health Rankings Editor Avery Comarow. "These hospitals are accustomed to seeing the sickest patients day in and day out."

we can certainly try, but we'll need more information first. What modem(+internal or external), NIC, etc are you using?If anyone can help me I sure would appreciate it. I just installed Mandrake 8.2. I am a first time linux user, and I cannot for the life of me configure my dsl connection.
What have you tried so far?
Unlikely, unless it's not releasing your IP or something before it shuts down.I am wondering if my windows installation on another partition could have something to do with it?
Yes they can, but doing so depends on the filesystem in use under windows. If you're using fat-32, you'll be able to have read/write access to the windows files. If it's NTFS, you'll only be able to have read access.Also I would like to know how to access compatible files on a different partition. Can they be shared between windows and linux?
I can't tell you atm how to do it because I don't know which you're using.

Glad Norwalk won but not proud of all it's players..I was at Taco Bell after the football game Friday. A band member from Norwalk High and 1 of his friends came in to get their food to go, one of the Norwalk High football players squirted taco sauce on one of the boys band uniform. He and the other players laughed and walked away. Why do these kids have to continue to Bully their piers. It should be mandatory to take bullying classes as part of the curriculum.
That is pretty sad. Should have found out who they were and reported them to he coach. I can't stand it when idiots use their influence to harm other kids. Kids in his position should be leading others and showing the difference between right and wrong. Especially to someone who is supporting him by being in the band and cheering him on to victory.
@ In my opinion & Uputwhatwhere7 : Totally agree with you both. Hope the wimpy bully ---who obviously lacks self confidence---- is identified, then punished.
Rather than attempting to drag the entire team down, why not contact the football coach at NHS and provide him with the number on the football jersey? One kid certainly doesn't reflect the entire team.
@sport..I did not see in any of the post where anyone attempted to bring down the entire team down. All I saw was where 1 player put taco sauce on a band members uniform and he and his buddies laughed. It is a shame kids have to do this crap. This comes on the heals of a 12 year old who committed suicide last week because of bullying. No one mentioned entire team, just made a statement.
They were not wearing their jersey's, it was after the game, over heard them talking about plays when they were in the locker room. I agree not all should be condemned, I am sure if the kid in the band uniform wasn't concerned about the repercussion he would have turned them it. Why do kids think bullying is so much fun? I don't understand the younger generation, and there again it's not all kids.
