IAEA to Host International Symposium on Moderate Malnutrition in Children
22 May 2014
An International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) event next week will focus on moderate malnutrition in children, with the aim of identifying areas in which further research is needed for effective prevention and treatment.
The IAEA 'International Symposium on Understanding Moderate Malnutrition in Children for Effective Interventions' will be held on 26-29 May, 2014, at the IAEA's Headquarters in Vienna, Austria.
Malnutrition is one of the most serious health problems facing poor countries, where it is a factor in more than one third of all deaths of children under five years of age.
The IAEA is developing and promoting standardized protocols for assessing body composition using stable isotope techniques, methods that complement other measures used to monitor global efforts in improving infant and child nutrition. The Agency also assists Member States in building the technical capacity to monitor sustainable interventions aimed at managing malnutrition.
More than 470 participants, from more than 68 countries and 22 international organizations, have registered for the Conference.
The following parts of the Conference, held in Boardroom A, 2nd floor of the M Building at the Vienna International Centre (VIC), are open to journalists:
- The opening session at 16:00 on Monday, 26 May. IAEA Deputy Director General Daud Mohamad will speak at this session.
- Session one including panel discussions to be held from 9.00-12.00 on Tuesday, 27 May. The first panel focuses on UN Agencies' response to challenges related to the management of moderate malnutrition, while the second will highlight experiences and challenges in countries that manage moderate malnutrition successfully.
- The closing session, set to start at 16:00 on Thursday, 29 May.
More information about the Conference, including a daily programme, is available here.
All journalists are requested to inform the IAEA Press Office of their plans to attend. Journalists with permanent credentials to the VIC need no additional credentials. Others should contact Ms Elizabeth Dobie-Sarsam for accreditation. Please email [email protected] or call [43-1] 2600-21273.

In short: I'd forgotten how much fun this race was. See you all next year.In full: A great race, I am still discovering mud in places that i didn't know I had. I was told that it wasn't as muddy as the course I did 3 years ago. I don't think that this is the case. See you all next year. GrahamDate of review: November 14, 2010
In short: Excellent muddy race!In full: Well done Bitton! Excellent race and well organised!Date of review: November 14, 2010
In short: Brilliant, superb, fantastic.Date of review: November 14, 2010
In short: Favourite Race of ther yearIn full: First time of doing this race and I will definately be back next year. Nice touch with the 2 minutes silence and the last post. Loads of mud and water some of it containing cow pats.Friendly marshalls and great organisation. My only one critisim is the wait for the stream/ditch. Almost 15 minute wait and if it had been raining would have been horrendous. Otherwise great goody bag and great raceDate of review: November 14, 2010
In short: Fun, filthy, friendly. Full of good humour and mudDate of review: November 14, 2010
In short: mud, slurry, fab atmosphere, always return for more; one of my all time favesDate of review: November 14, 2010
In short: Would I do it again? Oh, go on, then.In full: My first Slog and, despite the mess it's made of my kit and the fact it's going to take weeks to dry my shoes out, I will be back again. I'd been expecting the first two 'water features' (the bog and the sheep dip), but the pig trough (400 odd metres of flooded ditch with a crowd lining one side baying for us all to fall over) was an added, but exhausting bonus. Great organisation, excellent good bag and T shirt. Shame about the queue for the showers, but this was to be expected. At least they had showers, I supppose. Well done, Bitton. Now, back to trying to get the dirt out from between my toes.Date of review: November 14, 2010
In short: First time running this and it was a really fun race. Not for anyone who wants to remain dry and mud free. Will definitely be applying again next year.Date of review: November 14, 2010

The leader of Sierra Club Hawaii wants a Marshall-style plan for the state that would lead to greater food self-sufficiency
POSTED: 1:30 a.m. HST, Oct 22, 2010
Life takes odd twists and turns, and for Robert Harris it was the twists and turns of his jogging route.
Harris, now 34 and almost two years into his job as executive director for the Sierra Club Hawaii chapter, never expected a career in public policy while he pursued a chemistry degree at the University of Hawaii. But while on a run, Harris was attacked, suffering injuries that required surgery. His assailant was never caught, his grades tanked for a time and he had a lot of time to contemplate his future.
He emerged from that crisis with a new direction for his life: a new major in environmental science and commitment to the environment in his Hawaii home -- he is a Kalaheo High School graduate. This orientation ultimately led him to law school and the Sierra Club, initially as a volunteer.
And it's spilled over into his personal habits. In one corner of his office in the Atherton YWCA building sits the bicycle he rides to appointments in town, after car commutes with his wife from their Kahaluu home.
In recent years, Sierra Club has fought high-profile battles over the Hawaii Superferry and, with the Environmental Protection Agency, over the requirement for upgrades in Oahu's sewage system and treatment plants. But now he and other Sierra Club leaders look forward to a new focus on promoting diversified agriculture and food production in Hawaii.
Harris proudly cites advocacy for curbside recycling and solar energy among the organization's achievements. Sierra Club doesn't like investing all its time in courtroom battles, he said, but sometimes the environmental mission means playing hardball.
"I like to say that we educate, advocate and, only if necessary, agitate," he said.
Question: Hasn't your focus always been on land use?
Answer: Actually, our priority has been climate change, at the national and local level. But land use and environmental concerns, I think, are two sides of the same coin. If you make a bad land-use decision, then a lot of the environmental problems all extend from that. So traffic problems, safe communities, they're all tied to good land use planning. Carbon dioxide production: If a lot of people have to hop in cars and drive, it's all related to where we planned our construction. So yes, it is a serious concern, and we're trying to make sure that irreversible mistakes aren't made. But with regards to our No. 1 priority, it's plainly climate change. And that's why we've been so involved on clean energy issues, trying to make sure clean energy is developed. Also related to that is Hawaii's food production.
Q: What's the connection to food production?
A: Food production is tied to land use, and it's tied to carbon production. In fact, as we delve into food, it's amazing how many different areas it touches upon. Healthy communities, healthy individuals, jobs and also environmental with regards to carbon dioxide production, how far produce has to travel to get to people's homes, how many chemicals have to be applied to the food items to ensure they last long enough to get on people's plates.
Q: Was this a decision made locally to turn your attention toward food security?
A: It is plainly a unique issue with regards to Hawaii. It's an issue that nationally and internationally has gathered a lot of attention, but Hawaii is way out there with regards to our insecurity with regards to food. Experts seem to be in agreement that we produce about 10 to 15 percent of our food. We've seen wild statistics about if ships stop running how quickly we'll be out of food ... we are way out on a limb with regards to the food that we produce. Most other states are much higher with the amount of food that they locally produce, or they're much closer. So if there's instability, they're not going to starve. Hawaii is.
Q: What are the goals of the food security campaign?
A: We've targeted trying to be 50 percent self-sufficient as a realistic and possible goal as well as one that is modestly aspirational -- the idea that this is something that everybody in Hawaii can kind of come to agreement that yes, at least 50 percent seems a logical goal. That being said, we don't want it to be restraining and saying that maybe we should shoot for higher, and trying to identify different ways to move in those directions. This needs to be a Marshall Plan for Hawaii. We need to really say that this is going to be one of the highest focuses for the next administration, that this is going to be the target and we need to put a lot of time and focus on it because, again, it crosses into so many different areas. If we're able to provide local food for schools, for example, that means that students are eating healthier and hopefully learning healthier eating habits, so when they grow to be adults they continue healthy lifestyles. We're also providing jobs; we're also preserving portions of Hawaii for agriculture, and that's something that's always been a concern, and an interest for us.
Q: What needs to happen to start to lock down more ag land, to grow some of this food?
A: There is no statewide or islandwide plan for how we're going to provide the food and energy that we need going forward. Because of that, we tend to analyze each of these decisions in a vacuum, where people say we need food, but without the information, it's impossible to make a rational decision. And I think one of the most important things is to adopt a standard like a 50 percent goal and say that's what we're going to work towards, and now we're going to sit down and figure out how we're actually going to get to that level, including saying certain land has to be designated for growing food. How do we make sure that happens? The problem with Koa Ridge, Hoopili and now Laie is we talk about growing food, there's lip service to it, but the actual decisions made are directly counter to those goals, are the exact reverse of what we need to do to achieve more self-sufficiency.
Q: So would the next step be starting something akin to the energy initiative goal of having 70 percent renewable energy by 2030?
A: Yeah, we've looked at saying, for example, 20 percent self-sufficiency by 2020, 30 percent self-sufficiency by 2030, and then 50 percent self-sufficiency by 2040. By trying to establish standards and then task governmental agencies with saying, "You're going to achieve that, and if you don't achieve it there's going to be penalties in place." It sort of marshals everyone's attention in that direction. And then we can have a healthy discussion ... and currently there is no dialogue on that. We talk about it, but there is no specific information, there is no data to rely on that says, "Wait, you do need to have these areas protected."
Q: The recent "Eat Local" campaign showed that it's difficult to find locally produced food in the stores. How will we be able to push up the production of local food in this marketplace?
A: I think there's a resurgence of interest in this issue, and there is certainly a number of restaurants and a number of farmers doing quite well by growing local food. Statistics show that that industry, of growing diversified agriculture, has been rapidly growing. Our concern is in the next 10 years, we're making decisions that will impact whether or not that industry has a chance to grow or not. We want to make sure that as people decide to go into diversified agriculture, there is actually land available for them to grow on, and that without that land, forget about it.
You talked about the difficulty of finding food; the difficulty is compounded when you think about the competing needs for agricultural lands. Biofuels, for example: There is going to be biofuels grown in Hawaii. The extent of how much agriculture lands are going to be locked up for that use is directly going to impact how much land we have available for food. The best way I've heard it described is that there are probably 30 different uses for agriculture, and a lot of them do pay more than food production. And so we have to incentivize and encourage the use of land for food production to ensure that we are achieving these standards and moving in the preferred direction.
Q: Is the more profitable use biofuels?
A: Actually, right now it's seed corn. ... We're seeing food farmers having difficulty finding cheap land, because it's all being used for seed corn. On the short term, most people will say, "Well that's OK, because it's better than it being developed." But my fear is that we are losing that next generation of local farmers. When you attend a farmer meeting, it tends to be gray-haired men and women, and you don't see that next generation there. That's a genuine concern. We have to make sure we are fostering and growing this fragile industry, and making sure it's healthy for the future.
Q: Do you think the farm federation is working with Tropical Ag at UH on this?
A: One of the frustrations is that the largest farming advocacy group, the Hawaii Farm Bureau, has as its president somebody who's actually been advocating for more development, actually testified in favor of developing Koa Ridge, didn't just take an objective or neutral position but actually said, "No, we prefer development here" -- I think much to the shock of some of the members within the Hawaii Farm Bureau.
There has been a new organization, the Hawaii Farmers Union, being created, partially out of that frustration that there hasn't been a clear and consistent voice for farmers in Hawaii that's really been advocating in farming's interest ... there's been a couple of different organizations forming. ...
You go back to the 1960 Constitution, that was one of the No. 1 concerns: protecting agriculture land. Unfortunately, over the past 10 or 15 years, we've really stumbled and moved in a completely wrong direction. Over the past 50 years, in fact, the state Department of Ag has projected, we've lost 50 percent of our prime farm land. It's clear what we're doing is wrong, and we have to start moving in a different direction.

Struggling to find where to buy on the link provided. Site isn't the easiest to navigate.
If there was ever a print to hang for only one month of the year this one is it! Just looking at these pics is like traveling back to my childhood with the ghost of Halloweens past. I can almost taste the candy corn and pixie sticks!
Yeah. Where the heck is this for sale. I'm not finding it either.
Must have!
I must have this. Where the hell is it?
i'll give a limb up for one of these.
Is this already sold out?
Err, I just found this. Good luck everyone.

This is killing me.
Anyone have any luck with emailing phillip? Yep, this is killing me, too. And, the wife likes it, so it is a good thing.
Nothing at all….emailed right after they posted it on FB
I'm not finding it anywhere on that site. Is it hidden until 24 hours after you register? Weird, weird, weird.
Gotta say: as a monster "Great Pumpkin" fan, I'd be happy with the regular version. But the variant? Crazy good.
what a hot mess
I have a variant on order I think
got a couple
variant ordered!!
Love that purple.
Thanks Dylan. Ordered.
Maybe… I have no idea how that site works, and I assume they've been taking e-mail requests for hours already. Not sure what's going to come of this.
Here's the deal, I just received an e-mail from Phillip with instructions on how to pay (after I ordered through the site). So just be patient, it should come.
From Phillips's email:
To order:
Simply click on the image or heading above to go to whichever of the three you want (if you want more than one, you will need to click on those images separately) and click "Order".
A pop-up window will appear, and you need to fill out that information.
There is a space at the bottom for "Questions/Comments". If you have any special instructions, enter them there, AND IF YOU WANT MORE THAN ONE EXAMPLE OF THAT EDITION, YOU MUST ENTER THAT THERE AS WELL.
Then click "Send Order".
Normally, we would respond to you with the cost of shipping depending on where you live (because shipping prices vary greatly all over the world). BUT BECAUSE THERE IS THE POSSIBILITY ONE OR MORE OF THESE EDITIONS COULD SELL OUT TODAY, YOU MUST SEND PAYMENT AS WELL TO INSURE THAT YOU ARE IN LINE TO PURCHASE THESE EDITIONS.
Here are payment instructions:
You may pay via PayPal manually to "firstname.lastname@example.com", but know that PayPal has many glitches, so you absolutely should e-mail us separately stating that you completed payment. Here are step-by-step instructions if you need help paying manually with PayPal.
We accept all major credit cards via phone at +1 (417) 256-9616 during business hours (Monday to Friday, 9 AM CST to 5 PM CST except from 12 to 1 when we take lunch), via e-mail, or via fax at +1 (417) 257-6948.
If you live in the United States, pay us the total cost of what you are ordering, plus $11 for U.S. shipping (unless you are ordering the Steel Edition, in which case do NOT pay shipping now, because we do not yet know the actual cost of shipping, but it will solely be the actual cost of shipping, plus $3 for packing materials).
If you live outside the U.S., pay us the total cost of what you are ordering only (we will determine the actual cost of shipping, and give you that information once we have your address, and then you will be asked to pay that amount at that time).
Thanks Dylan, and got the email from them right after I clicked on the link.
I wonder when the refunds will start.
I buy from emovie auctions on a regular basis in their weekly poster sales. They're solid and pretty quick.
Good luck folks
I placed an order for a Variant. Payed via PayPal. Hopefully it doesn't get canceled.
Called them over the phone and got thru. They said they were swamped and most likely the variants are sold out. Hopefully, I get something.
My payment went through at 08:06:52 PDT. I wonder where that puts me in the variant line. Gotta get the purple.
man, what a complicated archaic site!
I guess if it does not work out…there are always the APs from Tom's site.
Variants are gone. As of about 3 minutes ago, there are still regulars and steel variants available…but going FAST. This poster is just killer.
Can anyone give me input. Is it safe to put your CC info in the comments section?
There is urban_gallery on ebay who claims to have two of each.
From Bruce:
"We have received your payment, and are processing all the orders in the exact order in which we received payment. Once we have done so, we will let you know if you did indeed get the poster or posters you wanted. Thank you very much. Please be understanding of how crazy things are here right now!"
This is absolutely wonderful. GREAT work!
Just received this:
"We received your order request for the IT'S THE GREAT PUMPKIN, CHARLIE BROWN poster.
PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE DO NOT REPLY TO THIS E-MAIL IF YOU HAVE ALREADY MADE PAYMENT (we know you want to know if you did get what you ordered, but we won't know that for a while, and when we do, we will contact you, and it slows us down if you e-mail us about it).
So if you have already called us to pay, submitted your credit card information through our website, OR paid with PayPal, DO NOT REPLY TO THIS E-MAIL.
But ONLY if you have NOT paid, read the following:
We are sold out of the Variant Edition and may well be sold out of the Standard and Steel Editions as well, but there is still a chance you can get them if you pay right away."
All 3 are showing as sold out.
Definitely a big mess. They seemed to have underestimated the demand for this release.
Last email I got said: "We have received your payment, and are processing all the orders in the exact order in which we received payment. Once we have done so, we will let you know if you did indeed get the poster or posters you wanted. Thank you very much. Please be understanding of how crazy things are here right now!". This was at 11:32am Eastern and my payment for one variant was sent at 11:07am Eastern. I hope I'm good or at least that they acknowledged I said I would like a regular if they were sold out of the variants already.
i got a rock
That was fun…feel bad for those on the West Coast that did not get a chance.
Eposters is sold out..Called to make the payment after getting an email confirmation and was told they were all sold. Epic bummer moment.
Has anybody received final confirmation yet, one way or the other?
Not yet, was about to ask the same thing.
@Dylan, Just called to see if I could receive confirmation verbally. Lady said they are in the process of processing each payment now and will be sending out emails shortly.
Thanks! I guess I'll keep waiting.
Hoping that means that they're waiting until they have processed 100% of them to send anything out.
Wow. This was NOT the way to handle this sale.
Hi all! I wanted to confirm that we sold out before 12 noon Central Time. There was some confusion about the ordering, because an announcement was posted on Wednesday night before we were 100% ready to take orders. That forced us to come in to the office early, and we immediately got it posted to our site and worked furiously to receive orders (I personally answered over 500 e-mails this morning).
We thank everyone who contacted us. We are now organizing the orders by the time we received them so that they are filled in the order in which they were received. We will be in contact with all the buyers to confirm what they got. It is likely that everybody who placed orders early on (and who followed instructions carefully) will receive one of each item they paid for, and we hope that we do not have to refund many people at all.
Please do not call or e-mail our office to inquire about the status of your order (if you have paid), or call or e-mail our office to complain if you did not pay and think you have an excellent reason, because that will only greatly slow us up.
Thanks very much to everybody who participated.
Sent in my order for a variant directly via the site@10:56am. Nothing on the site gives you a confirmation, so I peppered Phil with emails. I sure hope every order really was processed with an accurate time stamp. In any case, looks like Dark Hall Mansion is going to be SOL for their drop, unless a bunch were held back.
My favorite Whalen by far. Good luck everyone.
You bet they are being processed based on the time stamp. We want this to be 100% fair to everyone.
Placed an order and paid at 12:41 PM EST, not sure if I got it or not. The online store was still marked as "available" and Phil said to send my payment ASAP to ensure I get it.
As I commented on both Dark Hall's and Bruce's FB walls, this was the *most disorganized* sale for a big poster I've seen in all my years of collecting. "Hot mess" is sooooo right! lol
Definitely not as bad as some other drops (anybody remember the recent PCP/OBEY drop that lasted over 24 hours?) On drop day I was up from early morning until 2 am hitting f5, slept for 4 hours and started refreshing again from 6am until they finally dropped the next afternoon, over a day later than they said.
This one might be tough with anticipation and a bit of disorganization, but not even close to the worst drop I've been a part of.
Processed my payment for a steel & a variant at 11:04 EST. Fingers are crossed. I think this print is gorgeous, even better than Steamboat Willie. Thanks a billion to OMG and iambillyg! I wouldn't have had a prayer of scoring one without them.
You are receiving this e-mail because you have inquired about the IT'S THE GREAT PUMPKIN, CHARLIE BROWN poster, and we regret to inform you that we have now received payment for ALL of the copies of all three editions, so all three are now sold out.
We did the best we could to keep count of how many were being paid for, and we are hopeful that few people who paid prior to 12 noon Central Time will need to be refunded because we oversold any of the three editions. We will be collating the orders we received in the exact order in which people made payment, and we will process the orders in that exact order, and once we have processed all the orders, we will refund anyone who did not get their order (or let them know if they only got part of their order).
IF YOU HAVE NOT PAID FOR THESE POSTERS AS OF THIS TIME, THERE IS NO POINT TRYING TO ORDER ANY OF THEM, BECAUSE THEY ARE ALL NOW SOLD OUT. We are sorry that some of you did not get to purchase this.
We certainly hope to do more projects similar to this in the near future, and we will be certain to have a far easier checkout system in place at that time. If you want to be notified of any future projects well in advance, we advise you to join our weekly e-mail club at https://www.emovieposter.com/club/settings.php (if you are not already a member).
Thank you very much!
Buyers who paid via PayPal or with a credit card through our site: We just sent you an update of where your order stands.
Buyers who paid over the phone: we will be contacting you tomorrow after we have processed your order.
Everyone who missed out: Know that Dark Hall Mansion will be selling more next Wednesday!
So, if you did not get this email you got a print. Is that correct?
I just got this…
This is Bruce Hershenson. I am sending this e-mail to everyone who successfully paid for one or more of the IT'S THE GREAT PUMPKIN, CHARLIE BROWN posters we sold this morning from our website, eMoviePoster.com.
As of right now, it has been an incredibly long and hectic day for us (remember that we also run an auction business that auctions 2,000 or more items every week), and we have 999 auctions closing tonight! So we have not yet been able to finalize exactly who purchased the posters, and who got shut out. But because we had a rough count on sales, we stopped taking orders a little before noon Central Standard Time, and if we oversold any of the three editions, it was not by much. Of course, many people continued to try to order after that time, but we turned them away.
First thing Friday morning, we will process all of the orders in exactly the order in which they were paid for, and when we reach the full amount of each edition, we will stop processing orders, and let those who have successfully purchased them know what they purchased via e-mail. We will also refund the money to any people who paid but were not successful in purchasing what they wanted.
I know it is unfortunate that you have to wait a day to find out for certain whether you were able to purchase what you wanted, but that is how it has to be this time. We hope to have similar offerings in the future, and if we do, we will certainly learn greatly from what we did wrong today, and we will make certain that there is a one step purchase process on our site (but we will also take phone orders, as we did today, because we know that many people greatly enjoy having that ability).
Our entire goal throughout this is exactly the same as we have always had in our auction business, which is to treat everyone 100% fairly. Along those lines, we stated early on that we would consider allowing people to purchase more than one type (Standard, Variant, Steel), and that we would also consider allowing people to order more than one of EACH type (for example, two Standards).
But because the demand exceeded the supply by a wide margin, we are going to limit each person to one of each type (so, for example, someone who attempted to purchase two Variants, might only get one), but we WILL attempt to fill the many orders where people purchased more than one of each type (so, for example, someone who attempted to purchase one Standard and one Variant might well get both). We believe this is the fairest way to distribute these among the greatest number of people. Once we have filled all the above orders with the above method, we will then give any additional posters to those who requested more than one of each type (as many as are left).
We did not sell the entire edition of each. The website, http://www.darkhallmansion.com/, will be having an offering of each of the three types next Wednesday the 12th (as they previously announced). Go to their website for exact details on how that will work. But this gives you another chance to purchase one or more of these really cool posters, and if you learn tomorrow that you were not successful in ordering from us, then you will have another chance to purchase what you wanted next Wednesday.
We know that this was not handled perfectly, but it was our first time, and we learned a great deal, and we will use that knowledge to greatly improve the process in the future. There was some mis-communication between us and the creators of this poster, and that made the process "bumpier" than it needed to be, but certainly that will not happen again!
Please look for our e-mail tomorrow telling you what happened with your attempt to purchase one or more of these posters, and thank you very much for ordering from us.
DAMN EBAYERS are already selling them!
$250 for the Variant?! C'mon go after these guys and shut them down from future sales! Let's black list them!
glad i stayed away from that train wreak…..
Thank you all for the amazing response to our "It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown" print! We worked very closely with Tom in creating a print that truly did justice to Mr. Schulz and the Peanuts legacy. Tom exceeded our expectations and we're very grateful to you all for the beyond enthusiastic reception, this film means a lot to us personally and clearly it touches many souls out there just as much. The emails to DHM have been overwhelmingly positive save some understandable frustration at the process of the offering. For this we sincerely apologize and assure you 100% that it will not happen again. We're very sorry for any confusion with eMoviePoster.com, they really are great folks and the premiere source for vintage film posters, and why we chose to involve their collectors. Saying that, in retrospect it clearly would have been easier to have simply asked them to go the usual route of placing Buy-Now buttons on their site but we felt allowing them to notify their client base via an advance mailer reasonable to broaden the interest and appeal of Great Pumpkin prior our own release at DHM. Again, not good logistically given the needless confusion that ensued and once again, our sincerest apologies. We very much value the extraordinary interest and support for our projects, but most of all, the enthusiastic support of our clients, not something we take lightly, nor ever will, so do know this was a one off and you will all have ample and clear notification for all future releases.
On that, please know we will be putting our remaining copies of each Great Pumpkin Edition on sale next Wednesday, Oct 12th, on our own site, http://www.DarkHallMansion.com. Fair warning-there are exceedingly few left but we will have examples of all three Editions: the Standard, Variant and Steel, all dropping that day at a random time and very much in conventional fashion via Paypal Buy-Now buttons appearing beneath each simply by clicking through from our Store to each respective Great Pumpkin Edition:
Also, thank you to all who have already registered for a chance to win a FREE TOM WHALEN SIGNED STEEL A/P Edition! All anyone has to do is leave their email address with us via our Contact page or email directly: firstname.lastname@example.com and that's it, you're in. We'll leave the draw open all the way till next Wed's drop so anyone who'd like a chance has an opportunity to sign up.
As a gesture of our gratitude and apology for today's confusion, please know that the draw is now open for 2 FREE SIGNED STEEL A/P Editions and we'll announce the winner for each draw on our drop day, again, next Wed, Oct, 12th. BTW, goes without saying that anyone who has ever registered with DHM in the past is already automatically in for the draws!
Thanks again for the interest and we look forward to seeing you next Wed!
Just want to say: while this drop certainly could have gone more – ehem – smoothly, Phil has been fantastic throughout. In the midst of the chaos of yesterday, he answered all of my emails and did so promptly and courteously. Let's face it folks, while emovieposter.com clearly was unprepared and overwhelmed by the demand for The Great Pumpkin, we all have to remember that our universe of collectors has become almost uniquely ravenous for new and cool stuff. Let's give emovieposter.com a chance to redeem itself. I for one welcome other reliable sources for great prints and posters besides Mondo.
Thrifypix, I wholeheartedly agree with the above statement.
Now, if we could just confirmation, I would feel better.
There were not prepared, they apologized and it is all good. I am glad that I have found another site for prints. I did call them and got thru, so I will have to wait to see what I get. There are three more chances to get these prints. Dark Hall, win free from Dark Hall, and maybe Tom's will put the APs up for sale. Yippie, off to Mondos site today!!!
Refunded and sad oh well, maybe next time
Just got the order confirmation!
Woohooo I'm getting one!
I got one too.
Congrats to everyone who succeeded in scoring one. And good luck to those for the drop on the 12th.
This has gotta be my favorite work from Whalen thus far.
So since I don't want to bother them with an email and at least one person is saying they got refunded, even though the last communication I received was the above email including the statement "and let those who have successfully purchased them know what they purchased via e-mail" and nothing since then letting me know I got what I ordered…I hope that I'm good? =|
@Josh, they are really great with email replies. Just ask them once and you will get an answer within a few hours. They understand and know what happened. My email was answered very professionally and to the point to the effect that I received one regular edition, but not a variant. The same situation happened to me where I never received an email stating yes or no. So, I asked politely and the rest is noted above.
OMG, has anyone seen the KT Iron Giant prints? Awesome.
@Shawn, thanks…I just got an email from PayPal partially refunding me so I guess I'm not getting a variant. =/ I did state that I would like a regular if I couldn't get a variant, but then when so much time had passed I figured I'd paid in time. Ah well…
Go after the flippers…this is the perfect drop to catch them all.
After refreshing for 3 hours, I go to the mailbox and they're sold out
same here… no luck..
So many complainers on FB. What is wrong with people?
One final from us at DHM: we DO care, we WILL fix this, and we very much DON'T just throw out apologies and move on. We also never take for granted the the massive love and interest we receive on our projects, nor will we ever be indifferent to the business directed our way. If other firms have taken that approach with you, it's unfortunate, but also unacceptable as you don't need to settle. We understand if you've had bad experiences elsewhere but we won't allow that to define us nor would ever want any of you to lower your expectations as we respect you don't need to settle for less. It's simple, end of the day, we put together projects we believe in and want you all excited about and part of that is knowing you don't have to hassle purchasing them, we agree with that and we'll see to it on our next. Know that.
Thanks very much,
I got my print today! It looks awesome. I got an email from emovieposter.com warning of the extra secure package and how it can damage the print if not handled properly but it wasn't as bad as I thought it wasn't going to be. Just be careful with the tape and you should be fine.
It's in a frame and hanging on my wall already. Thanks guys!
Also If ordes were done in sequential order then I must have just made it as I have #279/280 😀

(visit the link for the full news article)
Hours after John F. Kennedy was assassinated, a jumpy Secret Service agent came within seconds of accidentally shooting new President Lyndon Johnson point-blank in the chest, the agent reveals in a new book.
Standing in the darkness outside Johnson's Washington mansion at 2:15 a.m. on Nov. 23, 1963, agent Gerald Blaine heard footsteps.
"We were still emotionally in shock over the assassination. It had been well over 40 hours since we'd slept.
Blaine had the gun pointed at the man's chest and was about to fire when he recognized the new President.
"I swear he turned white," Blaine recounted. "He had just walked out for a breath of air! He hadn't told anyone. When Kennedy left the house, he would notify the command post."
For a long moment in the shadows, LBJ and the agent looked at each other.
"Then he turned around and went back in the house. He didn't say anything. I think he understood he had no business being out there," Blaine said.
LBJ never mentioned the incident, he said.
Blaine said his book is motivated largely by the "abominable" tangle of misreporting about the assassination.
"I would hate to see history recorded as it's been laid out by the cottage industry of conspiracy theorists," he said. "You'd think there must have been 70 assassins in Dallas that day!"
He also tries to quash the rumor that Kennedy had an affair with Marilyn Monroe.

When Mercedes-Benz introduced the M-Class in 1998, the mid-sized sport-utility vehicle was unique for its combination of silky on-road performance and off-road capabilities. But as other luxury manufacturers entered the segment, the M-Class lost its edge. Part of the problem was its lackluster styling. In addition,the vehicle's performance, while capable, didn't match newer products such as the BMW X5 and the Infiniti FX45 (the AMG ML55 being the exception).
Never a company to sit on its haunches and mope, Mercedes-Benz stepped up to the challenge with a new-generation M-Class that gives other automakers a new standard to chase. From its swoopy aerodynamic profile to its all-new V6 engine and industry-first seven-speed automatic transmission, the 2006 Mercedes-Benz ML350 is a potent package. It?s roomier than the car it replaces, has a more ergonomic, more functional interior, redesigned suspension, and a higher level of safety. Out of the box, it can handle the off-road needs of almost all drivers. With the addition of an optional off-road handling package later this year, the 2006 M-Class should be able to handle virtually any terrain on the planet.
A More Powerful Engine with Enhanced Fuel Economy
A new 3.5-liter V6 aluminum engine utilizes variable valve timing and a two-stage intake manifold to boost power without sacrificing fuel economy. The 268-horsepower engine develops 87 percent of its maximum torque at 1,500 r.p.m., allowing the M-Class to accelerate from zero-to-sixty miles-per-hour in just over eight seconds. An industry-first seven-speed automatic transmission boosts gas mileage by allowing for smaller increases in engine speed between shifts. The most noticeable difference to the driver may be the gear shift mechanism itself. Gone is the mechanical stalk and gate shift. In its place is a small stalk to the right of the steering column that uses electronic controls to engage the gears. The driver can still manually select gears using buttons on the back of the steering wheel.
As with the original, the new M-Class features a permanent four-wheel drive system that automatically sends engine power to the wheels with the best grip. Under dry road conditions, the torque is split 50/50 front-to-rear. A four-wheel drive version of Mercedes? electronic traction control system can transfer up to 100 percent of the torque to one wheel to maintain directional control on wet or uneven surfaces.
The M-Class has remarkable traction off-road: it can climb extremely steep hills and plow through mud slurry with ease. All cars come with standard hill descent control and a hill-holder feature that prevents the vehicle from sliding backwards when starting up on a steep hill.
Optional air suspension allows the driver to change vehicle height, with maximum ground clearance topping ten inches. The off-road package available later this year adds a two-speed transfer case, so drivers can crawl over precipitous terrain at extremely slow speeds.
On-Road Performance Like a Luxury Sedan
Unit construction gives the M-Class a car-like ride. The test vehicle, equipped with the standard 17-inch wheels, felt solid and nimble driving through urban traffic. Because the standard rack-and-pinion steering system is not speed sensitive, it feels a little tight at slow speeds. Speed-sensitive steering is available as an option. On the other hand, the brakes feel a touch soft, but they respond well and stop the car quickly.
A redesigned fully-independent suspension provides a firm but compliant ride, similar in feel to Mercedes sedans. Engineers made significant strides in improving torsional rigidity; as a result, the vehicle has even better steering response than its predecessor.
Visibility is good all the way around the car. Redundant turn signals on the side view mirrors make those signals easier for drivers on either side to see. Buyers can opt for bi-xenon curve-illuminating headlamps that change direction according to steering input, to light the corners on dark roads. Windshield and rear window wipers do a good job of keeping those surfaces free of water and dirt.
Standard eight-way power driver?s seat and a tilt and telescopic steering wheel enable drivers of all sizes to feel comfortable. While the test car came with optional leather trim, cloth upholstery comes standard: a feature that should appeal to buyers who use their cars to head to the trails. The test car came with optional heated seats: a nice feature for drivers who live in the snow belt.
Both front and rear seats have great lumbar support and generous head and leg room. While the M-Class has seatbelts in three rear seating positions, the vehicle is only wide enough to hold two adults comfortably. The 60/40 split rear seats fold down easily with the flip of a latch, and will fold flat without removing the headrests.
User-friendly Instrument Panel
The redesigned instrument panel keeps knobs and buttons to a minimum. The center stack contains the controls for the dual-temperature heating and air conditioning controls, audio, and (optional) navigational system. The navigation screen flips down to reveal slots for loading in compact disks and the navigation digital disk. Buyers can upgrade to a 6-disk audio system with MP3 capability. A separate adaptor that allows drivers to play iPods through the audio system debuts in 2006. Standard steering wheel controls include redundant volume and cruise control settings.
Mercedes-Benz utilizes a cruise control stalk above the turn signal stalk on its cars. The M-Class also uses this system. It can be easy to confuse the two stalks, especially when driving in traffic.
The center console has two, generous-sized cupholders that are large enough to hold a quart bottle of Gatorade: an appealing feature in the Phoenix summer. Equally appealing is the nicely designed two-bin cubby, that holds compact disks below and smaller items such as cell phones up above. Map pockets in the front doors are designed to hold bottles as well.
Rear passengers get their own heating and air conditioning controls, as well as two, twelve-volt outlets, located in the rear of the center console. There are map pockets in back of both front seats. The optional sunroof brought additional sunlight into the second row.
Athlete-friendly Cargo Area
The rear hatch opens up a wide load-in space, making it easy to stow items in back. There?s a standard first aid kit in a storage area to the left, an additional twelve-volt outlet, and four tie-down rings on the floor. A full-sized spare beneath the cargo floor is easy to reach. The cargo bed will easily hold a couple of road bikes with front wheels removed, once the rear seats are folded flat. Roof rails are standard on all models.
The test car came with the optional tow hitch. So equipped, the M-Class can haul up to 5,000 pounds.
Safety from the Ground Up
The new M-Class features crash boxes to the front and rear, that absorb impact and reduce the cost of repairs. High-strength steel throughout much of the body protects the passengers inside, as do standard front, side and side curtain airbags. A tire inflation monitor is standard. So are antilock brakes, traction control, and electronically controlled seat belt pretension and force limiters in all outboard positions.
Two Available Grades
The new M-Class is available in two grades to reflect two available engines: the ML350 with the 3.5-liter V6, and the ML500, with a 5-liter V8. Base prices range from $40,525 for the ML350 to $49,275 for the ML500. Prices include a $775 destination and delivery charge.

Instead of using oil when pan cooking your eggs or favorite vegetables, use lemon or lime. It helps give your food some delicious flavor without the extra calories!

1-Eat for purpose: With the exception of special occasions, the food I eat has 2 purposes. The first is to fuel my body so I can feel good throughout the day. The second is to sustain it throughout my life. I want to meet my grandbaby's one day.

Including Nuts and Olive Oil in your diet
I've been on a plateau ever since I started this journey 3 months ago (I just didn't know it until now), I lost some weight but I struggled. I was on a strict 1200-1300 cal a day with very low sugar or fats and I was barley losing a pound a week and then I would gain it back again.

Set a goal to make at least one smart choice concerning healthy eating a day. Try to make it early in the morning. When you make that choice, you immediately feel good about yourself. And you're committed to having a good day. So you'll find yourself making another smart choice later. Another feel good, and another great day.

Don't forget about plain old "boring" Cheerios! They taste great with milk and a sprinkle of Splenda (obviously - it's cereal after all...), mixed into flavored yogurt or plain yogurt and a dash of cinnamon, or just eaten plain when you're craving a crunchy snack. At 100 calories for a cup (that's really a LOT of them), they can easily fit into a day's calorie allowance. There's a reason that they've been around so long - because they're awesome!

First off, the presentation of this game looks great. Bethesda did a really good job of capturing the feel of a post-apocolyptic wasteland. All of the environments, enemies, and other creatures, look well detailed, some of which, are capable of giving you an eerie feeling.
Now, when it comes to gameplay, Fallout 3 is definitely different from other FPS/TPS games I have played before. While at some times, there is a little lag in the gameplay, it is forgivable as a game with a world as large as this can be expected to have a little bit of lag every now and than.
Finally, when it comes to the lasting appeal of Fallout 3, I still play this game from time to time, and it has been years since its release in 2008. With the very unique storyline, all of the side quests, and the large environment to explore, Fallout 3 is a game that all will enjoy for hours on end.
Overall, Fallout 3 is a game that I would definitely recommend picking up if you haven't already, especially the PC version for its numerous amounts of mods you can download and add to the game. I promise, you won't regret it.

In early 2013, John Arce and Chris Perea wanted to form a blues band when they noticed there weren't enough blues bands in Las Cruces. Being that the genre is a favorite of the duo; they took many sounds from blues to create Satisfied's sound.
"The music we bring is a lot of different blues — Texas, New Orleans and rock blues. We blend them all," Arce said. After finding their bass player, Tim McKellar, Arce said the band was "satisfied."
Satisfied got their start by playing music at Emilia's, in Mesilla. With Satisfied, the trio has taken their love for blues music and created something of their own.
The group's most recent gig, was at the Dam Site in Truth or Consequences.
This summer, Satisfied is playing local hot spot venues like Q's Steak, Pasta and Brewhouse, 1300 Avenida de Mesilla, and De la Vega's Pecan Grill, 500 S. Telshor Blvd.
Arce is no stranger to performing music in Las Cruces, he has over five years of experience, adding a new band to his diverse resume.
"I have been lucky to contribute to The Neal McCowan Band and Genie and the Starliners, for the past five years," he said. A unique aspect to Satisfied is the family connection Arce brings.
Eleven-year-old, Sandy, Arce's daughter, has been taking a piece of the band's spotlight for herself.
Arce said the audience really enjoys seeing Sandy come on stage to take his place behind the drums.
"She performs well with big crowd, she's not shy, even though she just started to perform live," he said.
Sandy plays a wide variety of instruments including the saxophone, piano and drums. She also sings. When Sandy is not performing with Satisfied, she performs with Vista Middle School's band and choir.
"She really enjoys music and has a lot of dedicated. I am really proud of her," he said.
At each Satisfied performance, be on the look out for an email sign-up sheet. Satisfied uses the list to keep in contact with their fans, letting them know about their latest performances.
"We are looking forward to people that enjoy music to attend our shows. We look forward to get more fans and friends," Arce said.
On July 21, Satisfied will make their Music in the Park debut at 6 p.m., at Apodaca Park, 801 E. Madrid Ave. For more information on the group, email email@example.com.

So if now is here but at same time is the past, then what is the present?
So technically now does not exist for now is the past because now is a time at a certain moment, but time is unstoppable and is ever moving, so what is Now is now the Past.
Quite simple really.
[Edited by Paradox, 5/17/2010 6:25:46 PM]
The value "now" is forever pointing to a new instance of a moment and is always valid to describe the current moment. The "now" pointer is not to be confused with pointers that point to moments that have occurred before the current moment which are considered the past. Common reference pointers for the past include "yesterday" or "few hours ago".
You can refer to this very microsecond. Or you could be referring to an eon of time.
[Edited by Dhampy, 5/17/2010 7:39:42 PM]
It's all relative. The specificities...specifics...errrr, the specific moment you are referring to has no concrete basis.
I would consider those events instead of moments. Events are variable amount of time in which something happens. If nothing happens, then it's considered a null event (event without action).
[Edited by Neo7, 5/17/2010 8:14:54 PM]
I see where that can come into play.
For instance, you can say "Now, we are in the Information Age." And you're referring not referring to this very second but to what is essentially a prolonged event that has lasted at least 30 years already and is set to last for quite some time to come.
Well the pointer "now" is pointing a point that exists inside the parameter that is designated as the "Information Age".

Wage and Hour Administration
Programs administered by Wage and Hour include: Wage Claims; Minimum
Wage and Overtime Enforcement; Child Labor Enforcement; Prevailing Wage
Enforcement; Employment Preference Enforcement; Licensing Employment Agencies;
Construction Contractor Licensing; and Alaska Family Leave Act.
The Wage and Hour Administration provides sole enforcement of several
laws dealing with the payment of wages to workers (wage claims, prevailing
wage, minimum wage and overtime). The agency acts on behalf of workers
to collect unpaid or underpaid monies from employers through a variety
of administrative, quasi-judicial and judicial procedures. The Prevailing
Wage program ensures that all contractors working on public construction
projects pay the same costs for labor, thereby preventing an unfair competitive
advantage based on the use of cheap imported labor. The Construction Contractor
Licensing program protects the public from unlicensed, unbonded contractors,
while protecting properly licensed contractors from unscrupulous and unfair
competition. The agency also oversees the enforcement of child labor laws
to insure that minor workers are not exploited; administers the licensing
of private employment agencies and oversees their operation; enforces
the Alaska Family Leave Act as it applies to public employees; and monitors
the employment of workers on public works projects to ensure that resident
workers get their fair share of employment.

Because this law was passed as an Initiative Act (election by the people), as opposed to a Legislative Act (passed through the legislative process), the law becomes effective 90 days after the lieutenant governor certifies the election.*
* Sec. 15.45.220. Adoption and effective date of proposed law.
If a majority of the votes cast on the initiative proposition favor its adoption, the proposed law is enacted, and the lieutenant governor shall so certify. The act becomes effective 90 days after certification.

"The Reaping"
Appropriately, UZALA's first album was released Sunday (February 12th) by At War With False Noise. If you've been burning for the first 2012 #1 doom release, melt no further: UZALA is solid. Not sludge-psychedelia and never "epic," just straight-up marking listeners with impending DOOM. IMO Darcy Nutt's vocals are way more threatening/provoking than Chad Remains' end-game growling. They should release their next album entirely on VHS and see what video-art guru Miko Revereza could do with it. Maybe it'll just be one long torture video of someone being suffocated with honey. Or how about people gardening and a fast forward of plants seasonally dying. Doom is my gardening music.

Lil B
"Pussy On My Face"
Lil B has dug deep within his soul this year and has emerged with a throbbing boner. HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY! His latest video is called "Pussy On My Face," and according to the description on YouTube, his "notty"-ness is being supported "heavily" by the girls. Opening lyric spoiler: "Girl, put that pussy on my face." The track is definitely up there with "Tiny Pants Bitch," "Bitch of the City," "Watch Yo Bitch," and "BasedGod Fucked My Bitches" from the new (but "old," in the Lil B universe) White Flame mixtape.
Dromilly Vale EP [preview]
Earlier this year, Public Information released Electronics Without Tears, a retrospective into the archives of early-electronic music composer F.C. Judd. Buy it. But you should also start saving up, because later this month — February 27, to be exact — Public Information is releasing the Dromilly Vale EP by Bristol artist Ekoplekz (Nick Edwards). While it's certainly in the vein of those crazy early Radiophonic workshoppers, the EP also has a quality that won't make you too embarrassed to describe it as "forward-thinking." Maybe Public Information's claim that the EP consists of "five brand new emissions for 2102" isn't a typo after all.
The EP is limited to 300 12-inches, with no repress in sight.

"Aim To Please (Shoot To Kill)"
Trending-trending-trending. This morning the radio was banging "Crooklyn." Going between that and some new Lil Wayne cash-in made me think of modern day hip-hop intricacies: ScHoolboy Q taking the tough-guy route. Rick Ross living forever. Based God spitting whatever. Blue Sky Black Death gone nacho. Hip-hop is all about nationalism.
Later, "Aim To Please (Shoot To Kill)" infiltrates my YouTube playlist, and I came to the conclusion that all music should make me feel like the dude around the 2:39 video mark. Nationalism still applies to Redhead, but what's his schtick? Figure it out via his newest mixtape The Schemata. #goodtimingg

Belbury Poly
"Summer Round"
I just got word that Ghost Box is getting their catalog distributed here in the good ol' U.S. of A. Finally! But more importantly, will they help me revive Trish Keenan by turning her into the Six Million Dollar Woman? The only thing more awesome than Broadcast is robot Broadcast, right? While I go through the Ghost Box catalog and ponder all the "what if" situations that could have come from the Broadcast/Ghost Box associations following Broadcast and The Focus Group's Investigate Witch Cults of the Radio Age, you can check out the new video for Belbury Poly's "Summer Round" by Focus Grouper Julian House (and Ghost Box label head). The track is off their new album, Belbury Tales, due February 24 on Ghost Box. I don't know if it was the drugs or what, but somehow House managed to get me into his DeLorean, and we've gone back to my grade school science class. I suppose the drugs would definitely explain all the trails I'm seeing in this video…

SAN FRANCISCO — Saturday's game started like a dream for Colin Kaepernick — the sort of dream that wakes you up in a sweaty panic in the middle of the night.
Just minutes into the action, on a second-and-6 play from his own 47-yard line, Kaepernick telegraphed a throw off his back foot to tight end Vernon Davis, who was double covered. Green Bay's Sam Shields stepped in front of the pass, caught it with ease and took off toward the end zone. Kaepernick dove for Shields' legs but came up short, and just like that the Packers were up 7-0.
The crowd was stunned. The Packers were amped. And Kaepernick, making his first NFL postseason start, might easily have been wrecked.
He wasn't. The second-year quarterback took a deep breath, coolly trotted back onto the field a moment later, and proceeded to direct a stunning 45-31 victory over the Green Bay Packers at Candlestick Park.
"After that unfortunate interception, I wanted to see what his body language was," center Jonathan Goodwin said. "It was good. He came out confident, took control of the huddle. Led us right down the field for a touchdown."
Indeed, Kaepernick followed the interception by leading the 49ers 80 yards to an answering score, finishing the drive himself with a 20-yard sprint to the end zone.
It was a preview of the rest of the game. Kaepernick would complete 17 of 31 passes for 263 yards and two touchdowns to Michael Crabtree. But he did his best work trampling the Packers with his feet. Kaepernick ran for 181 yards, an NFL record for quarterbacks, postseason or otherwise.
"He was running all over the field," Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers said. "He's big, strong, athletic, throws the ball well and runs the ball extremely well. We didn't really have an answer for him."
Niners offensive coordinator Greg Roman ran a heavy dose of the Pistol offense — similar to the one Kaepernick ran in college at Nevada. It usually came from a diamond formation, with three teammates around Kaepernick in the backfield, one at each side and one behind him. Frequently, one of those backfield mates was a tight end, who motioned toward the line and provided extra protection.
Kaepernick would then run the read-option, and when he kept the ball, the results were electric. Roman dialed up routes that cleared the middle of the field; much of Kaepernick's yardage came on scrambles up the middle.
