The "New Rave" night, Antisocial every Saturday in Bar Music Hall is pretty good fun, with an interesting, arty crowd (and it's free!):
lol. i live in the same block of flats as pj – and he's right that the neighborhood's very gay but doesn't also seem to have a big gay scene per se.
i moved here because it reminds me of nyc's lower east side in the early 80s – and that was also a common theme of the scene there at at that time too: gay boys everywhere, all very arty/alternative, mixed in with everything else (remember the pyramid club, save the robots and 8bc?)
would be great to have some listings for the local clubs here.
I've also lived in the area for nearly 10 years and have to agree with the other comments, there isn't such a thing as a "gay scene" as it's very mixed. The George and Dragon is fabulous, very mixed and friendly.
Not forgetting the T-Bar (not gay but very laid back) http://www.tbarlondon.com or http://www.myspace.com/tbarlondon on Shoreditch high street, which use to do Gay Bingo (not sure if it's still on as can't see it the listings). Once a month there's "Wrong Meeting" with Andrew Weatherall and Ivan Smaghee and "Stink" with various surprise DJs…the best Electronic music outside of Berlin! We're not talking Fedde Le Grand or Bodyrox, which I heard far too many times at A.M. Friday!
There are a few afterparties around Spitalfields as well
the gay bingo is every second sunday of Month, I'm a fan, It's very good fun.
I love Jonny WOO and T bar is a great space
In total agreement with the comments alreay made. The East End is where its all at. eating, drinking, pulling, dancing – it's got the lot, and it's uber friendly.
The George and Dragon is the mothership of it all. A place where anyone and everyone meets up for a pint or two. A selection of the finest DJS spin there throughout the week including the fabulous Princess Julia. Sunday evenings are probably the best, and it goes without saying, it's the perfect place to warm up before Boombox at the Hoxton Bar and Grill. The joiners has become a bit of an institution… Once renowned as a pit for drugs and so on, it now attracts the same crowd who frequent the George and Dragon, and it's where everyone goes after last orders…. The joiners has a late licence.
Trailer Trash, T bar, Sosho, or any bar in Brick Lane are also good hits, and like the above, all are welcome. I have been in the area for about 5 years and have never come across any homophobia whatsoever.
Come check it out…
I'm an East-end fan as well and have had many great times at gay bingo, trailer trash, boombox, bar music hall, the light, et al, but I did have one awful experience there about 6 weeks ago. I had brought a date to a cocktail party just off Brick Lane in Spitalfields. We left on our way home and were snogging and holding hands on the way back around 2AM. Walking down Brick Lane, we were attacked by 6 Asian men and ended up in the hospital. Unfortunately it happened just up a side-street out of view of CCTV.
I got off relatively lightly with bruises and a few nasty scrapes (though I did get thrown to the ground and kicked in the head a few times), but my date had a broken nose and we were both covered in blood, ruining our party clothes.
Anyway, just a note of caution. I will still go back but I'll definately be wary and a little more discreet.
Hey PJ, we've something in common! I also worked at the London Apprentice, from 92-95 – what I'd personally think of as the venue's peak as a leader in underground dance music (but I've got to say that since I was looking after the promotion for much of that time) – though I'd been clubbing there (and at Pigeons and Benjys), and drinking in East End boozers such as Jim's Phone Bar and the Britannia, since the mid-80s. I did turn my back on the area after I stopped working at the LA, but this year I've been spending more time out East than ever, the main difference this time being that it's been off the gay scene… I'm really enjoying clubbing at East London clubs that are not gay, not straight, not mixed and not polysexual… They're just clubs. And I've found them to be a lot more tolerant of diversity than many gay venues.
The East End clubs are also cheap. On Saturday I was at Cafe 1001 in Brick Lane which was not only free to get in (we got there before midnight), but the drinks are a fraction of the price of West End and Vauxhall clubs. A couple of weeks earlier I was at T Bar on Sunday afternoon for the Fabric birthday after-party. That was also free to get in, AND they had Ricardo Villalobos playing! None of these places have the same level of sophistication as Fire or Area, and the sound system would have many DJs pulling any hair out, but any negatives are more than compensated for by a lack of attitude, and the energy and enthusiasm of the clubbers and DJs.
"54", by contrast, in Commerical Street, is really plush (though let down on busy nights by a chronic shortage of toilet cubicles), and one of the many East End venues where nobody gives a damn if a couple snogging is boy-on-boy or boy-on-girl. Secret Sundaze, another amazing East End institution, was packed to the rafters throughout the summer with a vast army of gay supporters, but without ever needing to advertise or promote itself as gay or gay-friendly. The parties at Holywell Lane were, for me, the nearest I've come to an underground Ibizan clubbing vibe in this country. And for me Trailer Trash is easily the best Friday-night club in London (just get there early if you want to hang your coat up).
Above all, my favourite place has to be "the toilet"… The only place I know that can make DC-10 or Later look like a nun's outing to Lourdes. Anyone who hears me shouting across the street at a weekend that, "I'm off to the toilet", should know I'm talking about Public Life, a club in a converted Victorian public convenience… Well, most of the time I am!
Gavster, maybe you should stop jetting off on glamorous weekends away to Glasgay and Mykonos, and have a nose around the East End instead? You could arrange a DD get-together in T Bar! I think you'd find yourself at home there, or just about any of the Whoreditch/Shockston bars & clubs.
So, do you fancy a weekend exploring the (really) near East?
I have always lived North London since moving to the city 10yrs ago, but recently (May) moved to East London (Beth Grn) & absolutely love it.
As you have already said a very trendy, bustling & non dicrimatory scene.
Love it & highly recommend you all coming to take a look at some of the coolest bars & clubs around.
Hey Martin
Sounds like a great idea – let's diarise;)
One for your diary Gavster is STINK. It's a free monthly party from Crosstown Rebels and Kompakt, at T Bar on the 1st Monday of the month. I was at last night's shindig and it was fucking excellent – the music, the people, the drinks prices! And I swear to god that half the men were gay… Or all of the men were half-gay, one of the two…
The next one's on Monday 4th December, with Damian Lazarus and Luke Solomon playing, plus a live set from Audion, and as always it's free. Worth turning up early, cos it was one-in/one-out when I arrived (it was only half-eleven), and worse than that, there was no space for my voluminous layers of winter woolies in the coat check!
If you want to start exploring east before then (which will be quite ironic now you've moved south of the river), just holler anytime you're free and we can take it from there. Just not this Saturday or Sunday, as I'm going to The End on Saturday for the return of Sven Vath and Cocoon, and Turnmills on Sunday for the Dance For Life 2006 event (which this year is raising money for the "Help Save Keiton Knight" fund), featuring Danny Rampling coming out of retirement (again) for a good cause, Mark Hughes and Timo Garcia.
Maybe you should join me for those, and we could squeeze in the toilet and T Bar in between!
Fancy joining us after Menthol Taz?
Thought I'd add some more comments. The East is catching up with Vauxhalls 24hr clubbing, it's possible to go out from Friday – Monday lunchtime, most of the afterclubs aren't advertised so it's helpful to "know someone who knows someone".
Kubicle, at the toilet, is weekly from 11am Sunday, 6am once a month, and the main DJs aren't advertised as they've usually come from one of the larger clubs the night before (usually rather famous as well). I totally agree with the other comments…you just have to go!
Did someone mention Jim's Phone Bar? I remember that place! I also used to go to the LA and in the early 90s it was THE place to go on Friday nights (long queues outside!). I worked in Old St at around the same time, when just about the only half reasonable place to drink of a lunchtime was the Bricklayers, and most else was derelict. Shoreditch has changed hugely since then and I've really only been to the George n Dragon in recent times so let's have some more "recommended nights" listings please!
I can't say I've ever been very enamoured of Brick Lane or Hackney Road though. Both can be well dodgy areas and I'd recommend being v careful when out and about, especially at night – just as another contributor pointed out earlier in this thread.
Heavens…Martin, your makin me feel real old now..I almost forgot I did the door at the LA with Jeff for a while!. One of those nights I tried to remove a paralysed Lady Bunny from the toilets….lol
Tony, we're not getting old, we're continuing to gain experience…
The east end scene has been kicking off for years , the crowd is polysexual but moastly gay and there is alot more to it than peole having g holes and naff commercial funky house, anyone who cant bear vauxhall should come along , there is loads going on and its very colourful and friendly,i say thumbs up shoreditch very glad to hear trailor trash is one weekly now, this for me is a true gay scene of london,one with community spirit,politics and a a place where doing a look is enjoyed not frowned upon,gave up on the south long time ago…
Funny, aint, when someone starts mentiong an area thats lots of fun, everybody comes out of the woodwork to praise it.

The major difference is the time and amount of water absorption. Pellets will absorb twice as much water as shreds, but also take much longer (as mentioned in the other thread). That makes sense, once you take into consideration surface area v. Volume - just like crushed ice melts faster because there's not as much to get through, the shreds absorb water faster because more area is in contact with the water.
I've never heard of nor seen crumbles, but if they're even smaller pieces than the shreds, then I image they would absorb water even faster, but not nearly as much.
Another difference is in price. Pellets, from what I've heard, are the cheapest.
The final difference is in safety, but I want to address that specifically to one of the posts above me.

The California Senate passed a bill September 6 that would make it legal for non-physician medical professionals such as midwives to perform abortions under a statewide training program. The measure now awaits Democratic Governor Jerry Brown's signature.
According to LifeSiteNews.com, the bill (S.B. 623), introduced by Democratic State Senator Christine Kehoe, "extends a program run by the University of California at San Francisco [UCSF], in which nurse practitioners, midwives, and doctors' assistants are trained to perform abortions without any further training in medicine. Kehoe argues the bill is necessary because there aren't enough doctors performing abortions in California."
The Sacramento Bee reported that the bill extends a UCSF program, begun in 2007, that "evaluates the safety and effectiveness of allowing certain non-doctor medical providers to provide abortions.... The goal is to increase access to the procedure in parts of the state where doctors are scarce." Kehoe noted that the program is "an existing study that's been extended several times, [and] this is an additional extension. Otherwise the study would cease at the end of this month and the practitioners participating in the city would no longer be able to perform this procedure."
The Life Legal Defense Foundation (LLDF), a California-based pro-life group that has been pressuring the UCSF for its records on the controversial program, explained that the measure was hidden in an unrelated bill at the end of the state's legislative session after previous attempts to pass it had failed. "This bill was originally created to regulate boat paint," Dana Cody, LLDF's executive director, said of the bill carrying the abortion measure. "Now it's regulating and destroying human lives."

Civilization and Its Discontents is a book by Sigmund Freud. Written in 1929, and first published in German in 1930 as Das Unbehagen in der Kultur ("The Uneasiness in Culture"). It is considered one of Freud's most important and widely read works.[1]
In this seminal book, Sigmund Freud enumerates what he sees as the fundamental tensions between civilization and the individual. The primary friction, he asserts, stems from the individual's quest for instinctive freedom and civilization's contrary demand for conformity and instinctive repression. Freud states that when any situation that is desired by the pleasure principle is prolonged, then it creates a feeling of mild contentment. Many of humankind's primitive instincts (for example, the desire to kill and the insatiable craving for sexual gratification) are clearly harmful to the well-being of a human community. As a result, civilization creates laws that prohibit killing, rape, and adultery, and it implements severe punishments if such rules are broken. Thus our possibilities of happiness are restricted by the law. This process, argues Freud, is an inherent quality of civilization that instills perpetual feelings of discontent in its citizens.
Freud's theory is based on the notion that humans have certain characteristic instincts that are immutable[citation needed]. Most notable are the desires for sex, and the predisposition to violent aggression towards authority figures and towards sexual competitors, both of which obstruct the gratification of a person's instincts.
Freud begins this work by taking up a possible source of religious feeling that his previous book, The Future of an Illusion, overlooked: the "oceanic feeling" of wholeness, limitlessness, and eternity.[2] Freud himself cannot experience this feeling of dissolution, but notes that there do indeed exist different pathological and healthy states (e.g. love) where the boundary between ego and object is lost, blurred, or distorted. Freud categorizes the oceanic feeling as being a regression into an earlier state of consciousness before the ego had differentiated itself from the world of objects. The need for this religious feeling, he writes, arises out of "the infant's helplessness and the longing for the father," as there is no greater infantile need than a father's protection.[3] Freud "imagine[s] that the oceanic feeling became connected with religion later on" in cultural practices.
The second chapter delves into how religion is one of many modes of being that arise out of the need for the individual to distance and soothe itself in the face of the suffering that exists within the world. The ego of the child forms over the oceanic feeling when it grasps that there are negative aspects of reality that it wishes to separate itself from. But at the same time as the ego is hoping to avoid displeasure, it is also building itself so that it may be better able to act towards securing happiness, and these are the twin aims of the pleasure principle when the ego realizes that 'reality' must also be dealt with. Freud claims that the 'purpose of life is simply the programme of the pleasure principle'[4] and the rest of the chapter is an exploration of various styles of human adaptation used to secure happiness from the world while also trying to avoid or limit suffering. Freud points out three main sources of displeasure we attempt to master: our own painful and mortal existence, the cruel and destructive aspects of the natural world, and the suffering endemic to the reality that we must live with other human beings in a society. Freud regards this last source as "perhaps more painful to us than any other",[5] and the remainder of this book will extrapolate on the conflict between individual instinctual gratification-seeking and the reality of societal life.
The third section of the book addresses a fundamental paradox of civilization: it is a tool we have created to protect ourselves from unhappiness, and yet it is our largest source of unhappiness. People become neurotic because they cannot tolerate the frustration which society imposes in the service of its cultural ideals. Freud points out that the contemporary technological advances of science have been, at best, a mixed blessing for human happiness. He asks what society is for if not to satisfy the pleasure principle, but concedes that civilization has to make compromises of happiness in order to fulfill its primary goal of bringing people into peaceful relationship with each other, which it does by making them subject to a higher, communal authority. Civilization is built out of wish-fulfillments of the human ideals of control, beauty, hygiene, order, and especially for the exercise of humanity's highest intellectual functions. Freud draws a key analogy between the development of civilization and the libidinal development of the individual, which allows Freud to speak of civilization in his own terms: there is anal eroticism that develops into a need for order and cleanliness, a sublimation of instincts into useful actions, alongside a more repressive renunciation of instinct. This final point Freud sees as the most important character of civilization, and if it is not compensated for, then "one can be certain that serious disorders will ensue.".[6] The structure of civilization serves to circumvent the natural processes and feelings of human development and eroticism. It is no wonder then, that this repression could cause a sentiment of discontent among civilians.
In the fourth chapter Freud attempts a conjecture as to the developmental history of civilization, which he supposed coincided with man learning to stand upright. This stage is followed by Freud's hypothesis from Totem and Taboo that human culture is bound up in an ancient Oedipal drama of brothers banding together to kill their father, and then creating a culture of rules to mediate ambivalent instinctual desires. Gradually love of a single sexual object becomes diffused and distributed towards all of one's culture and humanity in the form of a diluted 'aim-inhibited affection'. Freud discounts the idea that this passive and non-judgemental affection for all is the pinnacle of human love and purpose. Freud notes that while love is essential for bringing people together in a civilization, at the same time society creates laws, restrictions, and taboos to try and suppress this same instinct, and Freud wonders if there may not be more than sexual desire within the term 'libido'.
"Psycho-analytic work has shown us that it is precisely these frustrations of sexual life which people known as neurotics cannot tolerate".[7] So Freud begins the fifth section of this work, which explores the reasons why love cannot be the answer, and concludes that there exists a genuine and irreducible aggressive drive within all human beings. And while the love instinct (eros) can be commandeered by society to bind its members together, the aggressive instinct runs counter to this tendency and must be either repressed or directed against a rival culture. Thus Freud acknowledges that there is irrevocable ill-will within the hearts of man, and that civilization primarily exists to curb and restrain these impulses.
In the sixth chapter, Freud reviews the development of his concept of libido to explain why it must now be separated into two distinct instincts: the object-instinct of eros and the ego-instinct of thanatos. This 'new' concept of the death drive actually has a long developmental history in Freud's writings, including his investigations into narcissism and sadomasochism. Freud admits that it may be difficult to accept his view of human nature as being predisposed towards death and destruction, but he reasons that the suppression of this instinct is the true cause behind civilization's need for restrictions. Life and civilization, then, are born and develop out of an eternal struggle between these two interpersonal forces of love and hate.
Freud begins the seventh chapter by clearly explaining how the repression of the death instinct works to instill neurosis in individuals: the natural aggressiveness of the human child is suppressed by society (and its local representative, the father-figure) and turned inward, introjected, directed back against the ego. These aggressive energies develop into the super-ego as conscience, which punishes the ego both for transgressions committed (remorse) but also sins it has only fantasized about (guilt). All individuals must submit themselves to forming these feelings of guilt, for their aggressive instincts must be repressed if they hope to share in the love civilized society has appropriated for its members. Guilt and neurotic repression of instinct are simply the price we pay in order to live together in families and communities.
The guilty conscience is the price paid by the individual to belong to civilized society, but often this guilt is left unconscious and is experienced as anxiety or 'discontent'. Freud also considers that in addition to the individual super-ego, that there may also be a 'cultural super-ego' in existence that sets itself up as a conscience for society, and that his recommendation for it is the same as his recommendation for many of his neurotic patients: that it must lower its demands on the frail ego. Freud concludes this book by expanding on his distinction between eros and thanatos: "When an instinctual trend undergoes repression, its libidinal elements are turned into symptoms, and its aggressive components into a sense of guilt",[8] and he ponders on how the eternal battle between these heavenly powers will play out in mankind.
Historical context[edit]
This work should be also understood in context of contemporary events: World War I undoubtedly influenced Freud and had an impact on his central observation about the tension between the individual and civilization. Amidst a nation still recovering from a brutally violent war, Freud developed thoughts published two years earlier in The Future of an Illusion (1927), wherein he criticized organized religion as a collective neurosis. Freud, an avowed atheist, argued that religion has tamed asocial instincts and created a sense of community around a shared set of beliefs, thus helping a civilization. Yet at the same time organized religion also exacts an enormous psychological cost to the individual by making him perpetually subordinate to the primal father figure embodied by God.[9]

The design of China Comic and Animation Museum was revealed at the Seventh International Animation and Cartoon Festival when it opened Thursday evening in Hangzhou, capital of east China's Zhejiang Province.
The museum is designed by MVRDV, an international architecture and urban design company, and will be located on an island in Baima (White Horse) Lake in the Binjiang District of Hangzhou,
Inspired by the dialogue box in comic books, MVRDV's design transforms the boxes into three-dimensional bubble like structures.
The construction of the museum, with an area of 30,000 square meters, is expected to be completed in 2013. The total investment of the whole project is around 1 billion yuan (150 million U.S. dollars).
The museum will include a cartoon exhibition hall, comic hall, as well as an IMAX cinema. Once finished, the museum will be symbol of China's animation industry, said Wang Xiaomei, deputy director with the municipal publicity department.
Most collections in the museum will be famous works by cartoonists from home and abroad, including the original drafts of the Chinese animated feature films "Uproar in Heaven" and "Astro Boy shakes hands with Monkey King," a collaboration between a Chinese cartoonist and a Japanese cartoonist, according to Wang.
Hangzhou's animation industry is well-known in China for its high quality productions. The International Animation and Cartoon Festival has been held annually in Hangzhou City since 2005.

I need to start eating more tofu, I think. I rely a lot on fake meat products for protein, because they're easy to deal with, but they're also a ton more processed. Plus, with burgers of any kind, it's easy to get trapped into eating meals of burger-on-a-bun + chips, over and over again, which is boring. Plus-plus, I just really like tofu (and, I should say, other basic forms of protein, like tempeh and beans). Plus-cubed, it's cheaper to use the basics. So that's that. More simple food in my life! And more kale! (I don't know; a person can always use more kale, right?)
The coffee table in the Hinckley living room has a top that lifts up on special hinges, so it's higher and nearer to the sofa. When Rob's gone, I often use it as a surface to put puzzles together. Then, if I don't feel like sitting at the real table to eat, I just put a placemat over the puzzle and eat there. I get super fancy when nobody's around.

Video Games Plus is a weekly update on all things gaming. Check it out every Thursday.
Video Games Plus is getting a little cartoony this week. We've got Mickey Mouse teaming up with Oswald the Lucky Rabbit and Sony's colorful new entry into the kart-racing world. And we review the new downloadable Angry Birds variant. But in case you get the impression that we're getting all soft on you, we'll also preview the upcoming installment of Max Payne.
Mickey Mouse is making another appearance in the video game world, and this time he'll be in high definition. Disney Interactive recently announced the development of the sequel to the 2010 Wii title "Epic Mickey." In addition to appearing again on Nintendo's console, "Disney Epic Mickey 2: The Power of Two," will also be coming to Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.
Gameplay also gets an added dimension: Oswald the Lucky Rabbit will be a playable character. Armed with a powerful remote control that allows him to command electricity, Oswald will team up with Mickey in a return to Wasteland, an alternate world filled with 80 years of forgotten Disney characters and theme park attractions. Once again, Mickey wields his magical paintbrush that allows him to use paint and thinner.
The creators of "Epic Mickey 2" are calling the game "the first video game musical." Apparently, there will be many points during the adventure where characters will advance the plot through song (with all-original music and lyrics). Players will also hear tunes and instrumentation that change based on their actions, ultimately allowing them to "conduct" their own unique soundtracks.
If you weren't already excited by the prospect of playing multiplayer in the traditionally single-player world of Max Payne, get ready to be.
Rockstar Studios has released the first in a video series showing off the new multiplayer modes and so far, it looks spectacular. In theory it would be a mess to give all players in a multiplayer match the ability of Bullet Time, which slows time down during gunplay, so the developers have decided to limit it to opponents who are in a line of sight from each other. The video also gives gamers a closer look at Gang Wars, which delivers immersive, story-based rounds of matches using warring factions from the single-player game. New branching storylines in this mode dynamically change objectives based on the outcome of each round.
Meanwhile, a mode called Payne Killer gives players a chance to play as Max Payne and his partner, Raul Passos, in a blend of co-operative and competitive play. Outnumbered by enemies, Max and Passos must band together, fighting off other players and using signature weapons, Bullet Time and painkillers to stay alive. The long awaited "Max Payne 3" launches for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC on May 15 in North America.
Mario may soon need to check his rearview mirror, because he's about to get some new karting competition. Sony announced this week that "LittleBigPlanet Karting" is coming to PlayStation 3 later this year. The game is being developed by United Front Games, the team behind "ModNation Racers," so unsurprisingly the first trailer looks like a combination of "Racers" and "LittleBigPlanet."
Sackboy looks to be up to his D.I.Y. tricks again, as he's seen racing in a kart made of cardboard and cork tires. Four-player, split-screen and online multiplayer for up to eight people in races, battles and other modes will be part of the experience and the game will also feature 3-D compatibility. It also appears that there might be boss battles, grappling hooks in cars and 2-D side scrolling levels. Stay tuned for more details.
Angry Birds Space Review
iOS, Android
Sit in a crowded bus, train or classroom, and you're likely to find someone deeply focused on a game of "Angry Birds" on their smartphone. It's beyond everywhere, and too much of a good thing can be bad. That's why the nonstop merchandising and news of a movie and a cartoon series has us itching to hit the backlash button on "Angry Birds."
On the other hand, there's a reason the game has pecked its way to the top of app store charts. It's simple fun – just pull back on the slingshot with your touch screen to hurl a disgruntled avian on a collision course towards an evil pig – but difficult to master. It also gets repetitive and tiresome after hundreds of levels, which is why Rovio's new "Angry Birds Space" thankfully tweaks the formula a bit. There are a couple new bird species to fling and catapulting them completely around the orbit of a planet or through zero-G creates new challenges, even if it also means you'll be relying on luck a bit more than skill.
If the sight of "Angry Birds" makes you, well, angry, there's nothing here that will change your mind, but fans of the series will no doubt enjoy this one.

To save a few bucks, use hair conditioner not shaving cream. Shaving cream creates a layer between the razor and your skin while protecting from nicks and cuts. Conditioners work just as well and they moisturize while you shave.

Great Idea! I have oily hair, and have tried all kinds of conditioners, that always make my hair greasy looking...now I can use them up!
By Dorothy [1]06/04/2011
I have also been doing this for years as I never liked shaving cream. You can use the cheapest hair conditioners from the 99 cent store. Your legs feel so smooth afterwards. I've never done the math but I bet they are cheaper than shaving creams.
By Sheila [3]10/13/2010
I've done this for years! In fact I go a little further. When I shower, I put hair conditioner on me. I rub it all over my body then rinse my skin, my body is getting a moisture treatment.
By Jessica [8]10/13/2010
This is a wonderful tip! I have been doing this for years after I had seen the tip in a teenager magazine. It's cheap and it works great! I also have no problems using it under my arms.

MI National Guard
June 1987 - Anglers pressure Gov. Blanchard and DNR Director Guyer to reverse the decision to allow Michigan National Guard to use an additional 41,000 acres of state land.
Sep.-Oct. 1987 - The Department of Military Affairs (DMA; i.e. Michigan National Guard) publishes Camp Grayling Master Plan which proposes expanded training at the Camp-including a new multi-purpose range complex (MPRC)-increasing noise and pollution. Au Sable Manistee Action Committee sues to block expansion and to limit training to just Michigan Guardsmen.
November 1987 - Anglers send members Alert: "Total Force and the Rape of the Au Sable" generating a large letter writing campaign opposing Camp Grayling expansion. Vernon Andrews, Adjutant General of Michigan Guard, threatens to sue Anglers.
January 1988 - Anglers meet with Vernon's DMA staff to discuss the MPRC, sewage problems and noise pollution. DMA presents a formal response to our Alert and a 44 question inquiry. Anglers prepare a 42-page reply addressing each DMA response.
May 1988 - Wall Street Journal and CBS Evening News run stories on Camp Grayling conflict; Anglers and AMAC are mentioned. The Anglers adopt Camp Grayling Accord, our official position on the MPRC and environmental problems at the Camp.
June 1988 - Governor Blanchard creates a widely diverse 11-person Camp Grayling Management Advisory Committee (CGMAC); Angler board member and attorney Jim Schramm appointed.
August 1988 - Anglers instrumental in recruiting opposition attendance at Guard public hearings.
October 1988 - Anglers win in court over FOIA suit against Guard.
January 1989 - CGMAC submits a watered down report to the Governor listing 43 recommendations for future management of Camp Grayling; a "Minority Report" issued by the DMA soon followed disputing the "reasonableness" of 16 of the recommendations. The Anglers voice displeasure over the compromised document.
April 1989 - Complying with one of CGMAC's recommendations, Guard ceases training on Opening Day and other major holiday weekends. Guard releases draft Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for Camp. The Anglers are highly critical of the document and submit a detailed 17 page response in June 1989.
August 1989 - Per CGMAC, Governor Blanchard establishes Camp Grayling Advisory Council. The Council ultimately adopted a different (and very pro-Guard) set of 43 recommendations (submitted obliquely by the DMA) called the "Black Book." The Anglers denounced this and prepared a "Green Book," which explained in detail the differences between the committee's original recommendations and those of the DMA. However, in April 1990, Blanchard instructed the Council to implement the "Black Book," effectively ignoring recommendations from a committee he originally appointed.
September 1989 - Anglers uncover a plan to test a laser guided missile system at Camp Grayling heretofore kept secret. Under threat of a law suit filed jointly by the Anglers, MUCC and AMAC, an agreement was made with the DMA to control the use and scope of testing. (The DMA later violated several areas of the agreement.)
December 1989 - The Anglers and AMAC co-draft a letter to Governor Blanchard demanding DMA's Vernon Andrews be fired. There was no response.
August 1990 - Anglers reverse closing of 7,000 acres of land (to be used by the Guard for weapons testing) traditionally open to hunting and reach an agreement with the Guard to reduce testing area from 25 to 3 square miles.
November 1990 - With pressure from AMAC and the Anglers, DNR issues third draft of a consent order that charges the Department of Military Affairs (National Guard) is in violation of the Michigan Hazardous Wastes Management Act, the Michigan Air Pollution Act, among others. The DMA refuses to sign consent order.
February 1991 - With Engler in office, Camp Grayling Advisory Council is all but defunct. Vernon Andrews was replaced by Gordon Stump.
February 1992 - Per the consent order, now legally binding, DNR orders DMA to conduct contamination test on the air artillery range, Range 40. AMAC's lawsuit against the DMA regarding the interpretation of the original Hansen land trust goes to the Michigan Supreme Court. AMAC contends trust stipulates training by Michigan troops only, and not Guard units from other states.
November 1993 - The DMA issues a Draft Environmental Assessment of Camp Grayling's proposed "Multiple Launch Rocket System, Unit Reorganization/Conversion and Fielding." (This is the same weapons system seen on CNN during the Gulf War.) The Anglers review and produce a detailed, nine-page, 33 part written response outlining serious flaws to the anticipated environmental impacts of such a system, among other concerns.
January 1994 - In response to the consent order issued in 1992, the DMA informs the DNR that it is uncertain which activities on Range 40 might or might not have contributed to the contamination found in the soil and ground water samples. It also espoused a far-fetched theory that a renegade Canadian glacier has something to do with problems on Range 40 (now listed by the DNR as a P.A. 307 contamination site).
July 1994 - The DMA, after five years of delay, releases the Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) for expansion activities at Camp Grayling-including the proposed Multi-Purpose Range Complex-Heavy. AMAC sues the DMA et al in U.S. District Court alleging the FEIS is still seriously flawed and does not meet the National Environmental Policy Act's standards for an EIS. In the suit AMAC accuses the DMA of ignoring important and new information and the changing circumstances since the Draft EIS was published in 1989-including the significant amounts of contamination found on Range 40 and elsewhere.
September 1994 - The Anglers, the Au Sable North Branch Association, the Au Sable River System Property Owners Association, Kalkaska County, Garfield Township, Lovells Township and the Michigan Council of TU join the AMAC lawsuit.
March 1995 - U.S. District Court rules against AMAC, the Anglers et al regarding the challenge to the Camp Grayling Final EIS-a huge disappointment-thus freeing the Guard to begin building the Multi-Purpose Range Complex. The Guard is also given the go ahead to stage the Multiple Launch Rocket System.
August 1997 - Anglers & AMAC launch investigation in noise pollution at Camp Grayling. Camp Grayling water contamination study initiated.
September 1999 - Anglers continue support of investigation of ground water contamination at Camp Grayling.
June 2000 - Detroit News highlights the potential for ground water pollution at Camp Grayling. See article.

Nicky Delmonico rips two run double in eighth
Salisbury, Md. – The Hickory Crawdads (15-9) scored the first seven runs of the game and cruised to a 13-5 win over the Delmarva Shorebirds (7-16) on Sunday night at Arthur W. Perdue Stadium.
The Crawdads jumped to an early lead in the third inning. The first three batters of the inning reached and two errors on the Shorebirds defense contributed to three Crawdads runs.
In the fourth inning, the Hickory lead grew to 6-0. With the bases loaded, Chris Grayson singled home two runs. Later in the inning, Jhonny Gomez scored on a double play ball.
In the fifth, the Crawdads took a 7-0 lead on a home run to left field by Alejandro Selen, his fifth of the season.
Shorebirds starter Matt Taylor grinded through six innings and allowed seven hits and four innings.
The Shorebirds got on the board in the fifth inning on a single into center field by Mychal Givens to score Brenden Webb, who led off the inning with a single.
In the sixth inning, the Shorebirds added a run. Jerome Pena, who walked twice, reached on a walk. Then, Nicky Delmonico single behind the mound. After a Michael Ohlman walk, Connor Narron grounded into a double play, allowing Pena to score.
The Crawdads put the game out of reach with two runs in the seventh and four runs in the eighth inning.
In the bottom of the eighth, the Shorebirds added three runs. Delmonico hit a sharp double to the right field corner to score two runs. Jason Esposito singled to knock home the third run of the frame.
Shorebirds reliever Zach Fowler entered in the seventh and allowed six hits and four earned runs over 1.2 innings. Ryan Palsha did not surrender an earned run over the final 1.1 innings pitched.
The Shorebirds and Crawdads play game three of the series on Monday night at 7:05pm.

The Snow Child
ages: adult
First sentence: "Mabel had known there would be silence."
Support your local independent bookstore: buy it there!
Review copy provided by publisher through my place of employment.
Release date: February 1, 2012
I have sat down several times since I finished this quiet and lovely book last week, trying to figure out what to say about it, coming up short every time. I'm not sure I have the words in me to write this, but I'm going to try.
It's the Alaskan frontier in 1920, and Mabel and Jack -- an older, childless couple, from "Back East" in Pennsylvania -- are giving the whole frontier experience a try. They've been at it for a couple of years, and it's not going well: Jack can't seem to make the land work for him, and Mabel is becoming desperately helpless in the face of the cold, the dark, and the silence. Then, in the first snowfall of the year, a bit of whimsey overtakes them, and they build a snow child. It doesn't seem like much, but the next morning, the snow child is gone, and in its place is a little girl, half-wild and almost unwilling to be tamed.
Mabel and Jack take to the girl -- who may or may not be a fairy child; in many ways that question is irrelevant to purpose the book. For whatever the jacket copy may say, this is not a fantasy -- whose name is Faina, and slowly adopt her into their family, even though she never lives with them. Even though she disappears each spring, returning with each snowfall. By knowing Faina -- and for us, by following hers, and Mabel's and Jack's stories -- Mabel and Jack come to know and appreciate and love the wildness of Alaska, with all its joys and pains.
In many ways this is two books in one: yes, it's a story about a childless couple coming to terms with both the hardship of a new life (which they chose), but also the hardship of the loss of their only child as an infant. But, perhaps more importantly, it's a love story to the wilderness; from the breathtaking descriptions of the snow-covered landscape, to the brutal way in which the animals are hunted for food, Ivey captures life in the Alaskan outback with meticulous detail. I almost wanted to go see it for myself.
It was a soft and poetic book, something substantial enough to curl up with and enjoy on a cold winter's night and yet magical enough to provide an escape from everyday life.

I saw this come through my library's system awhile back and I hadnt' seen any reviews of it at the time, but it sounded so interesting that I put it on hold. That was early December. The book is still on order, but hopefully I will be able to read it in the next month or so! I'm very much looking forward to it, especially after I've started ot see some really good reviews pop up.

Interesting review. I've not seen this one, but it sounds good. Thanks!

I'm awfully curious--why do you say it isn't fantasy? Is it the doubt about whether she is a fairy child or not?
Either way, it sounds like a good one!

This sounds amazing...there's been such a lack of winter weather in the northeast that I'm itching to experience snow in literary form. Looks like I just found it.
- January 20, 2012 at 2:48 PM
- MsCFaith said...
I'm guessing they were both having hallucinations that Faina is a real child which came from the snow child they made out of the stress of wanting a child, especially Mabel.
Correct me if I'm wrong. This is quite interesting, though.

Does anyone know…..if you have done this 6 item free deal in the past, can you do it again or is it just once per customer/address? TIA!
I've done it in the past and again right now…
Love the bucks idea–had to steal it :)
Same here! This will work well with a summer incentive program ;) Thanks, Collin & Meredith!!
I got the business cards to help my husband who is looking for a new job. Very cool! And added the other stuff just for fun
Fabulous offer!!!! I just got these for my Scentsy business
I just got five of them, all except the photo book for only $7.54 shipping. Not bad at all. Thanks!
Katie, I ordered ONLY the business cards and the shipping is $7.09!! What am I doing wrong? I am in Ohio, could that affect pricing? Thanks in advance.
I ordered everything above(5 items) except the photo flipbook shipped to Ohio for $8.47. Maybe there is a minimum shipping charge since they ship from Holland (Europe, not Michigan!). I've ordered from them many times and they ship quickly and the quality is excellent, I think.
Yeah, I'm guessing it depends on your state since our shipping prices were about a buck different. Michelle, it looked to me like the more you added the more discounted the shipping was. Bizarre, but maybe add a few more free items and see what happens.
I got this deal last time you posted it. My mom loved the photo book. Its perfect to carry in her purse.
Can someone help me with the tote bags? Which ones are free?
Love the good behavior buck Idea-I;m making some Thanks!!
Thanks Collin !! I order four items for $7.70. Love it
Am I missing something? How do you get the photobook for free? It keeps trying to charge me $4.99 plus tax for it?
Nevermind. It took over an hour but finally updated the price correctly.
Got everything but the flip book for $8.47 to Western Washington.
Using the Buck idea for my classroom next yeat thanks!!
Made a shirt for my Dad for father's day and got my daughter a bag to use for guitar lessons.
Thanks so much! Did this deal yesterday and again today. Hope my hubby and grandpa like their Father's Day "grillin" t-shirts:)
Anyone notice the Free Car Door Magnets under the Business side? I ordered one with the stick figure kids on it that says, "Someone In This Car is Having a Birthday! Happy Birthday!" Thought it would be fun for the kids to drive around town in a car that is advertising their birthday. :)
Such a cute idea!!

"This isn't 'another design conference.' It's a meeting of great minds," tout the promo materials for F5, a conference that takes place next week at the Roseland Ballroom in Manhattan.
Everything I've read about it indicates that F5 is going to be a winning event for artists, and an interesting opportunity to network with an eclectic group of creative professionals.. I also have high hopes for F5 because one of its organizers is Justin Cone, who's the mastermind behind the must-read blog Motionographer. The F5 site explains that the event "is founded on the belief that true change occurs when you look outside your world and explore new horizons. The festival fosters creative collisions–unexpected insights from sources you didn't see coming. The goal is nothing less than to change the way you think about your work and your life."
The line-up of speakers includes:
* Ed Ulbrich, co-founder of multiple Academy Award-winning Digital Domain
* Acclaimed photographer/filmmaker Charlie White
* Jonah Lehrer, editor at large for Seed magazine and author of How We Decide
* MSNBC's Rachel Maddow
* Media Molecule, celebrated developers of LittleBigPlanet
* Presentations by CG and digital studios including Shilo, Psyop, The Blackheart Gang, and Danny Yount from Kyle Cooper's studio Prologue
Conference tickets for the two-day event (April 16 and 17) are $280 regular price and $150 for students. Thanks to the generosity of the event's organizers, Cartoon Brew is giving away TWO FULL PASSES to the festival. If you're planning to attend and are interested in winning a pass, simply leave a comment in this post by the end of today. The only qualification is that your comment must include a link to your website, and if you don't have a site (what kind of an artist are you?), then post the link to your LinkedIn or Myspace. The contest will close at 11:59pm tonight and we'll announce the winners on Wednesday.

18. The Situation
We had to give a shout-out to the Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino. After all, his abs are basically his entire public persona. Hey, as long as every other "Jersey Shore" cast member is getting his own show, maybe The Situation should pitch a series specifically about his abs?

Yes, Let's Talk About Backroom Deals
February 18, 2010
The most effective Republican arguments about health care reform lately have been about procedure, not policy. Over and over again, Republicans have accused Democrats of making shady backroom deals, of twisting the legislative process, and of trying to foist a secret plan on the country. From the looks of things, the attacks are working. In December and January, Scott Brown made many of these allegations in his successful run for the U.S. Senate.

After attending too many Thanksgiving parties and gatherings in America, it's time to settle down in you New Zealand home. (That's assuming you have one. If you don't, don't read these app recommendations and go buy one.) When you lean back in your familiar desk chair for your morning cappuccino and enjoy the beautiful sunrise over the Shire's green mountains, it's time to start reading this week's edition of app deals.
Because, of course, you are eager to get some shiny new software from the Mac App Store, whether it disrupts your bliss morning or not. This week is especially profuse in such bargains, and even Pixelmator has graced us with another appearance. (more…)
When you bought your Mac, or perhaps another smart device, chances are you didn't plan on just using the bundles apps that were already installed on it. There's dozens of apps we all use every day that make our machines vastly more useful than they'd be on their own. When we don't know what to use for a job, a quick visit to the App Store is usually all that's required to find an app that'll fit the bill.
Problem is, there's too many apps for any of us to ever use, much less master. And there's always that nagging suspicion that there's a better app that could let you do what you're doing faster.
If only you had the best app. (more…)
If you are afraid of the kitchen or haven't gotten around to discover the trills of making a beautifully-presented dish all by yourself, but you are looking to venture into this world, you're on the wrong website. Well, actually, this time you aren't. See, while this isn't a cooking website, we do tend to cover a wide variety of topics; after all, apps are helpful for many things.
This time, we will cover The Video Cookbook. The Video Cookbook is meant to help you discover and understand the intricacies of cooking. The question here however, is whether or not this app can make you into a cooking expert or simply provide you with some basic recipes.
Our sponsor this week is Doxie One, the little scanner that makes scanning simple. Doxie One scans your paper – simply, automatically, and with no computer required. To scan, just push the button and insert your sheet. Doxie scans anywhere with a simple, elegant design.
Doxie's different than other scanners. It's small – about the size of an empty paper towel roll – so you can tuck it in a drawer when you're not scanning. Setup is easy: Connect power, insert an SD card (included), press Doxie's button, and you're ready to start scanning.
When you're ready to organize, sync scans to your Mac or iPad, just like a digital camera. Doxie's elegant Mac app creates multi-page searchable PDFs you can save to your computer, send to your favorite apps like Evernote and Dropbox, or share via iMessage. Doxie even works with your iPad with both Apple's Lightning and 30-pin SD Card Reader accessories.
Doxie's app sends your paper to Evernote, Dropbox, and even to friends or colleagues with iMessage on iPhone, iPad, and OS X – so it's easy to share, back up, and access your paper everywhere you go.
Doxie is paperless for everyone – now shipping for just $149. Reserve one now.
We're focusing on apps to help you with writing this month, and software art practice Dark Heartfelt Software makes some of the best. They've already had great success with minimalist writing apps Grandview and Launchwrite, which force you to focus on the current word and sentence rather than the entire document. Now they've released a new app, Notesdeck, which allows you to edit and consolidate notes across four different cloud services and between your Mac and iOS devices.
We got the chance to interview the man behind Dark Heartfelt, Michael Petruzzo, about his apps and design process. Read on to hear about Notesdeck, software design as art, App Store frustrations, and more.
When you're always looking for the greatest new app, sometimes you forget about the awesome apps that power your life. The apps you use day in, day out to make money, stay in touch with family and friends, be creative, stay informed, and more are the most important apps, way more important that that new app that might come out tomorrow and just might revolutionize your life … or not.
Funny thing is, apps that you use all the time can fade into the background, and you'll almost never think about them. It's easy to take for granted the apps we use most. From your web browser to tools like Dropbox and Alfred or the launcher of your choice, there are apps you use every day without thinking about it, but you'd be hard pressed to live without them.
Today's Thanksgiving in America, which makes a great time to stop and think of the things you're grateful for, no matter where you call home. Our team has rounded up some of the apps we're thankful for this year, and we'd love to hear from you. What Mac apps are you the most thankful to have around this year? Perhaps an older app that's stood the test of time, or a newer app that's recently become essential to your workflow. Either way, we'd love to hear about it in the comments below!
Our Productive Macs Bundle giveaway is now closed, and congrats to our winners Wbadger and Oli! If you haven't grabbed a copy of the bundle yet and didn't win, you've still got 4 days left to get a copy before the bundle deal ends :)
Want to start out 2013 on a productive note? Why not get started now? For the next 10 days, the latest Productive Macs bundle is on sell for $29.99. It's quite an amazing bundle for that price, including TextExpander, Path Finder, TaskPaper, Optimal Layout, and more.
TextExpander alone makes the bundle worthwhile if you don't already have it. It's an essential productivity tool that can help you type repetitive text quicker, fill out forms in seconds, and more. Throw in Path Finder, a utility we recently called a full alternative to Finder that "provides so many additional features that you'll almost definitely find at least one that's invaluable", and you've got quite a productivity bundle already. That's not to mention the excellent plain text to-do list TaskPaper, Concealer for securing your private data, Optimal Layout to help you arrange your windows in the best layout on your Mac, and more, and this is a bundle you can't miss.
Best of all, we've got 2 complete bundles to giveaway to our readers! Just leave a comment here before Tuesday, November 27th, and we'll randomly pick two winners. You can also share the giveaway on Twitter, App.net, or Facebook, then comment with a link to your post, and you'll get an extra bonus entry for each time you share it.
And if you don't win, you'll still have a chance to get the bundle, or you can go ahead and pick up a copy of the bundle right now if you can't wait. It's sure worth it!

SafeSpace, Inc. - Artist donates to SafeSpace
International artist, author and illustrator Lisa Jill Allison recently presented a donation to SafeSpace® from the proceeds of several exhibits from her "Awaken" series fundraisers.
Lisa's art is created to remind us of the strength, peace and joy that resides within. For the past several months, she has worked tirelessly to promote awareness and raise funds to support SafeSpace®'s arts & crafts therapy for its clients.
According to Lisa, "I wish to offer a rest, to quiet worries and focus on the core. As we nurture our true inner self, we find healing love. May we awaken to this love, and then help others to find the love that is within them too."
Moreover, according to SafeSpace® CEO Jill Borowicz, M.S.W., "Lisa truly has become a strong advocate for our organization, we are grateful she has chosen to become one of SafeSpace®'s greatest champions in our community."
Lisa is also pleased to be the recipient of a grant from Women Supporting the Arts to begin production of her series of illustrated books designed to help facilitate finding inner strength and peace. Through a partnership with SafeSpace® these lovely, life-changing books will soon be published and used by the women and children of SafeSpace® and will also be available on Amazon.
The paintings by Lisa Jill Allison are full of life. She uses brilliant colors to create uplifting and energetic art that is pleasing, inspiring and memorable. Her works have the spirit of healing as she uses paint and language to help people find their inner joy and power. She likes to refer to it as inspiring others to "find their song."
Lisa's art has appeared all over South Florida, with a permanent display in her studio at Art Mundo Center for Creative Expression in Fort Pierce, spreading joy, hope and inspiration with a purpose.

Carlene Carter
Yep Roc Records
4 stars (out of 5)
Long time fans can be forgiven for believing they were unlikely to ever hear new material from June Carter's first-born.
Going back to the late 1970s, Carlene Carter has been at her strongest performing songs — whether from her pen or others' — that seemed to resonate with her on a personal level, take "Love is Gone," "Alabama Morning," and "Appalachian Eyes," to name three from the initial English pub rock-influenced phase of her career.
During the Nashville hit years, for every "I Fell in Love" or "Every Little Thing" there was a "Me and the Wildwood Rose," "My Dixie Darling," "The Sweetest Thing," or "Unbreakable Heart."
On her first album in over than a decade, CC displays the passion that has consistently been present in her country-rock hybrid while instilling depth that was frequently missing from her chart hits. Stronger has more than a little of the spirit of her Carter family ancestors woven within the tracks.
Having spent years out of the spotlight, Carter started to claw her way back with a well-received acting stint as her mother in the stage production Wildwood Flowers: The June Carter Story. Stronger was originally available as a fan club disc, and has been revitalized for wide-spread release with John McFee at the production helm. McFee also overdubbed new instrumentation throughout the album.
Carter's voice is huskier than on Little Acts of Treason, her major label swan song. But she displays control and sensitivity throughout, never over-extending her voice.
The uncompromisingly honest treatment of "On To You" is enough to signify that at fifty-plus, Carter can give those half her age something to consider. "To Change Your Heart" would fit nicely on any of Carter's mid-'90s albums; it is a mid-tempo country shuffle with heartbreak at its core: "Well-meaning friends don't understand why I can't let go and start again."
While Carter exposes herself emotionally throughout Stronger, the album's mood isn't dense or bleak. Lightness shines through although the two-stepping splash of her '90s recordings is absent.
"I'm So Cool," originally recorded on the Nick Lowe-produced Musical Shapes, is as lively as it was almost thirty years ago. Attention to phrasing and delicate instrumentation allows the gentle love song "Spider Lace" to standout as a highlight; McFee's pedal steel contributions provide a honky tonk element.
The recording isn't perfect. On "Break My Little Heart in Two," Carter's vocal is too far down in the mix; the song had potential to be Stronger's radio song, but this production decision weakens what could have been a defining performance. "It Takes One To Know Me," originally written for Johnny Cash, isn't the most dynamic song in Carter's catalog, and husband number four Jon Breen's duet vocal is non-descript. Still, the heartfelt intention behind the song rescues it.
Finally, all the stops are pulled out for the album's closer, the intense title track. "Stronger" doesn't mince words, and Carter's mature performance of the clichéd lyric ("What doesn't kill me makes me stronger") elevates the song. When one considers from where Carter was for much of the last thirteen years- addiction, career bankruptcy, criminal charges, family losses- June, Johnny, sister Rosey, ex Howie Epstein- "this hell-raising angel" is entitled to look back with contented perspective. "Stronger" should become Carter's signature song.
Not only the Comeback of the Year, Stronger may serve as a candidate for Comeback of the Decade.
"There's grace in forgiveness for angels in flight," a lyric from her elegy for her sister, may be suitable for Carter herself. Without apologizing for her past, Carlene Carter has documented the challenges, celebrations, and lessons of a hard-lived life on Stronger.
