At least twice, it has looked like Chuck Logan's novel "Homefront" was going to become a movie -- and at least twice it hasn't. But, starting Sept. 24, the cameras will roll on a film starring Jason Statham and James Franco and written by Sylvester Stallone.
Logan's "Homefront," in which a family is terrorized by a hitman and a band of meth cookers, was published in 2005 and optioned for a movie in 2006 (an "option" gives a producer rights for a limited amount of time).
The Stillwater resident and former Pioneer Press graphic artist's novel was optioned twice more, but it wasn't until this past May, at the Cannes Film Festival, that it began to seem like the movie might really happen.
"They introduced a poster and announced it at Cannes but, because of my past experience, I didn't say anything," says Logan, who describes previous attempts to get the movie made as "going down the rabbit hole." "But then I'd look online and see the Louisiana Film Board is saying it's going to shoot in September and actors are being announced, so you start to get a feeling it's actually going to happen"
Louisiana may seem like an odd choice to fans of the book, which is set in Minnesota, and the English Statham may seem like an odd choice for all-American hero Phil Broker. But Logan, who says he read a book about writing screenplay adaptations that included a chapter called "Breaking the Back of the Novel," has no illusions about how closely the movie will resemble his book: "The way I decided to think about it is it's like selling someone your car.
Logan's contract contains language about the possibility of filming two other novels. A lot will depend on how "Homefront" does when it's released sometime in 2013, but in the meantime, Logan is hoping Hollywood attention will boost sales of his other books and crossing his fingers that, this time, a "Homefront" movie will actually happen.
Not that he's counting his chickens. "Until they turn on the cameras," says Logan, "I'll just sit back and watch.

Hot air balloon enthusiasts are hoping for calmer weather and good flying conditions at the Solitaire Homes Hot Air Balloon Mass Ascension on Saturday and Sunday at the Deming Soccer League fields. Lift-off is at 7 a.m. both days.
The fields are at the entrance of the Industrial Park at Raymond Reed Blvd and Country Club Road. Near perfect weather conditions are essential in a balloon ascension. High winds, clouds and bad weather will ground a hot air balloon quick.
"We would like for everyone to come out and join us on Saturday and Sunday," said Marie Pinchuk, hot air balloon mass ascension director.
Last year at the mass ascension over 20 balloonists made the trip to Deming in hopes of climbing sky high to enjoy a balloon ride, but with bad weather looming, not a single balloon ascended into the blue Luna County skies.
Safety of the pilots and passengers is of the utmost importance said Pinchuk.
Pinchuk and Glenna Damstra are in charge of the ascension, Pinchuk has organized the event for over 25 years. The hot air balloon ascension actually began before the duck races, said Pinchuk. In 1979, balloonists came to Luna County from Albuquerque to fly their balloons and enjoy the beautiful blue skies. It was a little later that the Duck Races adopted the balloon ascension into its schedule of events.
Pinchuk said up to two passengers are allowed per ride and there is no set destination. Direction of travel is mostly dependent on the direction of the wind.
Guests and spectators are welcome to join the balloonists on the field, but do remind them to use caution while on the field. Smoking on the field or anywhere nearby the balloons is strictly prohibited. Parents with strollers are also cautioned to pay close attention to their children while on the field.
"We appreciate those who have helped make this event possible every year," said Pinchuk.
Even though balloons were grounded last year, pilots were still awarded cash prizes for participating in the event with a tossing contest. The winners were:
• 1st Place: Roger MacKechnie, Tucson, AZ, $250 and glass balloon trophy
• 2nd Place: Lori Pittman, Albuquerque, $150, plus glass balloon trophy
• 3rd Place: Orbin Stone, Las Cruces, $100 and glass balloon trophy
Pinchuk said she currently has between 17 to 18 balloonists confirmed to attend, but believes more are still to come. Weather permitting, the ascension will no doubt brighten the skies for all spectators to see.

Over the years I have heard the opinion expressed that some aged bourbons are not as good as they could be because they weren't made to age well, and of course, the vice versa.
E.g. recently I heard someone say that Prohibition-era bourbons are often not that good because when released they were much older than was intended by the makers (often 15-17 years old).
In thinking about this, I am wondering though, how does one make a bourbon intended for long - or short - aging?
Is there something in the mashbill that would be different? We have today older wheat-recipe and rye-recipe bourbons. We have lots of old ryes. So I don't think there is anything there that impacts on this question.
I can understand up to a point the issue of warehouse location. You might intend a quicker-aged product if you put the barrels in the part of the warehouse that matured them most quickly (often at the top), and again the vice versa.
But can that explain why so much Prohibition whiskey tastes woody, because it was placed on the upper portions and intended for sale, say, in 1922 (if made say in 1918) but was only finally sold years later? Considering that the aging whiskey was moved around (a lot of it) and probably vatted with other whiskeys, I am not sure that makes sense either.
Any thoughts on this?

BTW: 24" o.c. AF 2x6 construction has the same structural capacity of 2x4 16" o.c. old-school stick build but beats it's thermal performance by ~50% even before enhancements like exterior foam.
50% is a really big number. Why such a big difference?
Posted By ICFHybrid on 03 Jun 2011 10:39 AM
50% is a really big number. Why such a big difference? Doesn't it have something to do with 2 X 4 construction having a 3.5" insulation cavity and 2 X 6 construction having a 5.5" cavity? (5.5-3.5)/3.5 = 57% deeper alone. Dana1 probably has the details on thermal bridging ratios, etc.

R values are only part of the picture K value is a bigger one I beleve Dana only quoted icf foam R value not as a system .and we can vent roofs with sray foam on the pitch of the roof with R 50 we also use tech sheild roof sheeting we see a 20 degree diference measured at open framing

Ceramic Fabulousness
This dryer gave me back about 2 hours of my life each week! :) It dries my thick, wavy hair in about 10 mins, versus my last dryer which took about 20-25. I knew I had to have it when I spent the weekend at my girl friend's house and used hers. I love that there are Cool, Warm, and Hot settings, as well as High, Low. And for you multitaskers out there, it has the longest cord I've ever seen.

Not Impressed
I have had this dryer for under a year, I was quite impressed initially but then noticed the handle was getting very hot and also leaving a tingling sensation in my hand and now it is producing a burning smell so I will be taking it back. Very dissapointing.

Please Keep In Mind...
I would like to start off by sharing that I have had a wonderful experience with my blowdryer as well as with Folica. Secondly, I'd like for everyone writing reviews to keep in mind that each individual experience varies. NO PRODUCT is made to last FOREVER. Some products are poorly made indeed, whereas others are of far better quality. The BabyBlisPro is NOT one of those "poorly made" products. Yes, many excellent manufacturers can also produce defective equipment--it happens with clothing, cars, cellphones and (yes) even blowdryers. The treatment, maintenance and amount of usage given to the dryer may also be a factor in how long it will last and how well it will perform. That being said, different people have different results as well as needs. The same exact product can produce an extremely different result on two separate individuals. I can state that my personal experience has been a positive one; less drying time, no frizz, sturdy machine, and gives a mean blowout to my naturally curly hair. Yes, it gets VERY hot--that's why it has different settings. We should all be mindful of that so we don't burn our hands and/or our hair.

Perfect Hairdryer Bad Dryer Attachment
I had the Carrera Pro for 4 years until it stopped getting as hot. This dryer gets SUPER hot and straightens and dries your hair in no time. The issue is that the air flow attachment on the Carerra 2 popped off after a few uses and I had to shove it back in then it popped off again and was basically a weapon as it flew across the room (fiery hot). The Carrera Pro has notches which holds the air flow director in. If you use the air flow attachment, definitely get the Carrera TT Pro.

Fantastic Dryer
I've had a BaByliss dryer for quite a few years now. The first one I had finally died after over 2 years of use almost every day. I got another one since I absolutely loved that dryer. I don't see how people can complain about the lifespan on something that's used almost every day. Everything wears out at some point, and for the price of this hair dryer, I think the lifespan is absolutely amazing. The high heat is wonderful. I have naturally curly hair with a lot of body and with this dryer can get it beautifully straight in an extremely short period of time. I've had my second one for a couple of years now and just purchased another one for my daughter for Easter since she absolutely loves to use mine when she's over at my home. Fantastic product that I would definitely recommend and positively purchase again.

Gets Too Hot! Burns Hair!
Buyer beware. I bought this as it is supposed to be a quick dry but even with the nozzle added it gets too hot and burned off a piece of my hair this weekend!

Pretty Average, Imo
I like the feel of the dryer and seems a little hotter, but doesn't seem to dry my hair any faster than my cheapie $16.99 Vidal Sassoon dryer did. It also doesn't make my hair feel any different, as some reviewers said. Those are really the two reasons I bought it. My only hope is that it will last longer than the others, which only last about a year of regular daily home use. It's a good product, I just don't know if it's worth the extra price over a brand I can find at a discount store.

Good Performance For The Price, But...
I've had this hairdryer for a couple of years. During this time, it was good for the price. It did make my hair look more shiny and less frizzy. However, the design of the diffuser is horrible. Mine would blow off while I was drying my hair. I got so annoyed, I crazy-glued the diffuser to the dryer. Good solution if you never want to take the diffuser off. Now it seems like the hairdryer doesn't perform as well as it did in the beginning (as in making my hair smooth and shiny). And I do need to take the diffuser off so I'm going to try a different brand, probably Solano. I would buy a BaByliss again, but I would not purchase a Carrera 2 again. But I got my $60 worth.

Never Ever Again!
I bought my 1st BabylissPro Carrera 2 Ceramic Ionic Hair Dryer at a hair show in NYC. ( I am a cosmetologist )I loved they way it made my hair look...I told all the girls I work with to get one... After two years of use my expensive dryer that I thought was so great caught on fire! I thought it was a freak thing and because I thought it was such a great dryer I decided I would buy Two more, One for my home and the other for the Spa that I working at. I was drying a woman's hair and it started making a weird noise and sparks were coming out like crazy! I had to through it out side walk back into the spa and face everyone after making all that commotion. I was so embarrassed and I felt very unprofessional! I was afraid to even use my other one I had at home so gave it away to my friend who said she didn't care she would take it...Well that one a few months later only blows cold air so I told her to get rid of it fast!I have learned my lesson and will never buy this dryer again and would never recommend it to anyone EVER EVER AGAIN after owning three that never made it for over two years of use.(for real I would look into any other dryer,but not this one)I don't know how it doesn't have a recall on it by now! I am a very disappointed costumer.

…clean as I go. Seriously. Because I just spent 2 hours cleaning the kitchen. And that's with Mr. How Sweet's help.

…clean as I go. Seriously. Because I just spent 2 hours cleaning the kitchen. And that's with Mr. How Sweet's help.
I don't care if New Year's is over. I need a cocktail.
For some really bizarre reason, I LOVE laundry! Rarely do I get a full basket before i head to the W/D. But the kitchen? Forget it. I can have small countries growing in my sink before I empty it.
This year I'm going to eat less and move more. Pretty much what I've said for the last 30 or so years. Maybe I should say "I resolve not to out run anyone" :)
Ryan would LOVE if I had made this a resolution. He'd probably already have left me due to my inconsiderate non-dish-rinsing ways if he hadn't found some crazy scraper shaped like an egg that does a decent job removing my crusty food. Instead of addressing my laziness…I resolve to buy more of those scrapers instead. :)
I always clean as I go or else I would never cook…because my husband never cleans as he cooks and I have to go behind him and clean up and I let him get away with it because he cooks often and he's good. Now, I do not clean the floor as I go as I mentioned in that email I sent you a few days ago. And by the way…I made the Scampi, spinach dip and Gorgonzola Stuffed Olives…perfecto! and he kept his promise and made the Whole Wheat Cinnamon Bun Pancakes with Apple Smoked Bacon and Grits for New Year's morning. And it was all good….thanks again for the recipes.

As a fan of Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight, I was intrigued to see that a porn version of the Dark Knight Rises by Axel Braun is soon to be released. (Released! As soon as you start talking about sex, puns appear, right?). The film is entitled the Dark Knight Rises XXX and you can read more from Violet Blue here or just take a glance at this beautifully stylized pic of Aiden Ashley as Catwoman. Surely those who say that porn is not real art will be thrown by the aesthetic beauty of stills like this one!

Florida High's Henry Westmoreland will compete as an individual at the Class 1A state championship tournament.
- Filed Under
This high school golf season has been pleasantly consistent with sub-par rounds for Florida High junior Henry Westmoreland.
And now Westmoreland is taking aim at erasing memories of the two consistently bad rounds he shot - by his standards - during last year's state tournament at Deer Island in Tavares.
"It was last year, so you can't let any bad rounds get to you," said Westmoreland, who shot 80 both days. "I remember last year's course was very hard. It was very windy. There was a lot of water. But fortunately we're playing a different course this year." ...

GREENEVILLE — They were missing their high-flying forwards, Odell Parker and Corbin Jackson, but it didn't keep Carson-Newman from scoring in the paint. Ishmael Sanders and Antoine Davis took their games inside to lead the Eagles to a 67-56 win over South Atlantic Conference rival Tusculum at Pioneer Arena.
"When it's not falling (outside), they (Davis and Sanders) will mix in penetration shots and try to get us some points," C-N coach Chuck Benson said. "They're maturing that way. They're going to get back to making (three-point) shots. Tonight wasn't the night."
Carson-Newman (9-2, 2-1 SAC) found itself in unfamiliar territory for most of the first half. The Pioneers (2-9, 0-3) led until the final two minutes of the opening half, as they opened up their defense to keep C-N from running them off the floor with three-pointers. The strategy worked, with Sanders and Davis combining for just one successful three and C-N as a team going 3-for-15 in the game.
"That was our focus," Tusculum coach Michael Jones said. "You look at that and two of those three are from their five (Cody Henegar). I felt like we had a good defensive gameplan. We executed it for 34 minutes really well. In the last six minutes we gave up some key buckets to some special players, Davis and Sanders."
Though they lost the game, Tusculum can boast the most dominant player on the floor, 6-foot-7 freshman Keith Jumper. Jumper recorded a double-double with 20 points and 11 rebounds. The Pioneers also got a career night from Nick Spinks, who scored 17 points and went 4-for-6 from beyond the three-point arc.
While Carson-Newman wasn't getting the scoring it was used to, it still dominated the boards. The Eagles outrebounded Tusculum 38-28 and limited the Pioneers to just five offensive rebounds.
With Jackson and Parker out, and point guard Marcellous Perez limited with an ankle injury, C-N's bench stepped up. Henegar, starting in the place of Parker, nearly recorded a double-double himself with 11 points and eight rebounds.
Jared Johnson had a break-out game with eight points and four rebounds. Johnson's speed in the paint flummoxed Tusculum any time he drove the lane.
"Jared is strong, physical and tough," Benson said. "He was disappointed with his play in the first half and we had to encourage him at halftime to pick his head up. Jared stepped up and performed well."
Tusculum pulled within one as the second half began with a layup from Spinks. The Pioneers would never get that close again. A three-pointer from Heneger put the Eagles up by nine with 10 minutes to go.
"We thought he (Henegar) might be the X-factor tonight," Benson said. "Those threes were huge and he can do that. He can stretch you for a big guy."
Davis hit a jumper to take a 51-40 lead a minute later. Davis finished with 17 points.
"I was disappointed sometimes in how we weren't able to keep the ball in front of us," Jones said. "We gave up some baseline drives. They had three-four returning starters and you saw that pay off for them in the end. They were even tempered and they made the plays they had to make."
Sanders scored 16 for the Eagles. Though Tusculum shot 40 percent in the game, C-N was able to hold two starters, J.D. Miller and Devin Call, without a point.
Carson-Newman will host Newberry (5-6, 1-2) Saturday at Holt Fieldhouse at 4 p.m. Tusculum is on the road, facing Catawba (4-7, 1-2) also at 4 p.m.

You should hear his last solo album, "24 Hours" (look up the title track on youtube), or his singing on his blues covers album "Bi-polar Blues". Fantastic voice, and incredible guitar chops. I really hate him.

I can't say much for the song, but damn, Sheehan and Portnoy are locked tighter than a cheese-bound hound. What a monster rhythm section that pairing has proven to be.

I remember the first time I saw the Pontiac Fiero. It was on the cover of Road & Track magazine in 1983 and looked like a show stopper. After it came to market as a 1984 model, though, disappointments began to accumulate — quickly.
Critics said it was slow, poorly made and little more than a rolling potpourri from the General Motors parts bin. That last bit was certainly true. That one way car companies keep costs down on new models. But the part about being lacking speed and quality, well, that was simply the way of the auto industry 30 years ago — at least for the Detroit Three.
But hasn't the Fiero aged more gracefully than expected?

On October 19, 2011 the Dothan Police Department responded to an armed robbery at Blackmon Grocery (1011 Fountain Street) just after 7:00 p.m. Upon arrival, police learned two black males entered the business and physically fought the clerk, one of which was armed with a handgun. The suspects stole a handgun from the business and fled on foot from the scene. On duty patrolmen and responding investigators worked diligently on this case through the night and arrested one of the suspects, Tyreek Rayshun Rogers. The Violent Crimes Unit has taken over the investigation and confirmed a second suspect still remains at large. Police are asking anyone with information about the case or identity of the second suspect to call the Dothan Police Department or CrimeStoppers 334-793-7000.
• Tyreek Rayshun Rogers, black male, 19 years of age, of Monument Street was arrested and charged with First Degree Robbery with bond being established later today.

Flier of the Week: Allensworth and Boogaloo Assassins
Categories: Flier of the Week
I'm actually pretty torn about this flier. On one hand, I'm all, "Hey, a naked lady! Whoohoo!" On the other hand, I'm like, "Aww man. That naked lady has gross lesions and scales all over her body and some sort of weird face on her boobs." Which is, you know, less exciting.
It's for the Allensworth (Huntington Beach) and Boogaloo Assassins (Los Angeles) concert at Detroit Bar on Saturday. (I fully realize that the ol' HM has been a bit Detroit Bar heavy this week, but hey, they've had a lot of shows while other venues have been slow. Oh man, that rhymed!) Sounds like a fun night, but one can't help but ponder the image they're conjuring with that flier; kind of a Mad Max meets Attack of the 50 Foot Woman meets a terrible skin condition motif. Which should hopefully attract an intriguing cross-section of folks.
Whatever it is, it's an attractive flier for sure, and far superior to the one Detroit Bar running for the January Mothers Sons (who were spotlighted in Locals Only this week in the Weekly, aww yeah)/Daniel Morones residency, which is so strikingly bare bones that it has to be intentional (right?).

Reuters reported that Spanish-language film, "Instructions Not Included" was one of the top grossing movies of its opening weekend, ranking fifth in U.S. theaters over the Labor Day holiday weekend. This English-subtitled movie raked in $10 million in ticket sales for its four-day opening, which was record breaking for a Spanish-language film in the U.S. Opening in only 347 movie theaters, "Instructions" earned an average of $28,818 per screen, which was more than four times the average of the weekend's top film, "Lee Daniel's, The Butler." Despite Latinos being heavy moviegoers, the surprise success of "Instructions" came as a shock as Paul Dergarabedian, president of the box office division of Hollywood.com stated, "No one saw this coming." According to Motion Picture Association of America, last year Latinos purchased 26 percent of all tickets sold, resulting in 10.9 million tickets. "Hispanics were the heaviest moviegoers, as they represent 18 percent of the movie going population but accounted for 25 percent of all movies seen," said media research company Nielsen, in a separate study. "Hispanics were also the only demographic group that went to more movies in 2012 than in the prior year – 9.5 movies on average compared with 8.5 in 2011."
This film is distributed by Pantelion, a merged effort between Lionsgate Entertainment and Mexico's Televisa. Pantelion, whose creation was announced in 2010 by Lionsgate CEO Jon Feltheimer and Grupo Televisa CEO Emilio Azcarraga, plans on producing eight to ten films a year aimed at the Latino market in the U.S. and Mexico, striving to match the success Lionsgate has with the African-American market through films it distributes for Tyler Perry.
"Instructions Not Included" is about an Acapulco playboy who was forced to care for a baby girl left on his doorstep. In order to reach the Latino market for "Instructions Not Included," Pantelion advertised on Telemundo, Univision, and other Spanish-language channels as well as on social media sites like Facebook, YouTube, and Fandango that are greatly used by Latinos. Pantelion also depended on the film's star, popular Mexican TV star, Eugenio Derbez, to promote the movie to his Twitter and Facebook followers. Pantelion's Chief Executive Paul Presburger commented, "The strength of this film is that it has had great world of mouth, and he's a big part of that."
"Instructions" is expanding to 500 theaters and will be marketed to a broader "crossover" audience, as well. It opens in Mexico later in September.
According to United States Census information, Latinos make up 16 percent of the total U.S. population and 23 percent of the population under the age of 18. And Hollywood has caught on to the fact that we enjoy going to the movies. We will see if Hollywood fully catches up and provides content and actors that speak to us and tell our stories. We have proven with "Instructions Not Included," that if they build it, we will come.

14Though these three men, Noah, Daniel, and Job, were in it, they should deliver but their own souls by their righteousness, saith the Lord GOD.
14 Verse 14. Though-Noah, Daniel, and Job] The intercession even of
the holiest of men shall not avert my judgments. Noah, though a
righteous man, could not by his intercession preserve the old
world from being drowned. Job, though a righteous man, could not
preserve his children from being killed by the fall of their
house. Daniel, though a righteous man, could not prevent the
captivity of his country. Daniel must have been contemporary with
Ezekiel. He was taken captive in the third year of Jehoiakim,
. After this Jeholakim reigned
eight years, . And this prophecy, as appears from
, was uttered in the
sixth year of Jehoiachin's captivity, who succeeded Jehoiakim,
and reigned only three months, . Therefore at this
time Daniel had been fourteen years in captivity. See Newcome.
Even at this time he had gained much public celebrity. From this
account we may infer that Job was as real a person as Noah
or Daniel; and of their identity no man has pretended to doubt.
When God, as above, has determined to punish a nation, no
intercession shall avail. Personal holiness alone can prevent
these evils; but the holiness of any man can only avail for

Four Republicans will compete for the party's nomination in the race for South Dakota's open U.S. Senate seat.
State Representative Stace Nelson said Tuesday he will officially announce his candidacy Sunday during stops in Alexandria and Rapid City.
"If there were an actual conservative in the race, I would not be getting in," Nelson said Tuesday afternoon.
The Marine veteran and retired NCIS agent says he's jumping into the Senate race to spare South Dakotans from voting for the same-old politicians.
"As a good South Dakotan, as a Marine veteran, as a dad, as a grandpa, I can't sit by and watch the same mistakes our country has made in the past of sending these same pragmatic, professional politicians to D.C.," Nelson said.
Nelson says he's a true fiscal conservative. He points out that the state accumulated a multimillion dollar deficit under the leadership of former Governor Mike Rounds and State Senator Larry Rhoden, which eventually led to the ten percent budget cuts in 2011.
"When I took office as a freshman, I was presented with a $127 million deficit that our former governor and former House Majority Leader had created in the state of South Dakota," Nelson said.
Serving more than two decades in the military, Nelson says he also knows how to reign in spending in the Department of Defense, and just like his service to the country, Nelson sees a run for Senate as a duty.
"My own personal interests are not to go to D.C., but my duties and my responsibilities as a grandfather, a dad, and as a citizen of this great state is to continue my civic duties and serve in the U.S. Senate," Nelson said.
Tuesday afternoon, State Senator Larry Rhoden says he stands by his record in the legislature saying he has carried bills to reduce property taxes and fought proposals to increase taxes.
In response to Nelson's statements on the state deficit, the Rounds campaign says there was never actually a deficit when Rounds left office but a projection that there would be a budget shortfall because of the recession. Communications Director Mitch Krebs adds that Rounds proposed a budget that would have made cuts and used reserves to balance the budget before Daugaard took office.
"Claiming that Governor Rounds left the state with a deficit is simply not true," Krebs said.

York High graduate Kelvin Parker scored 20 of his career-high 28 points in the second half, including 16 of Millersville's final 18 points, in the Marauders' thrilling, 65-62 win over Mansfield Wednesday night in Pucillo Gymnasium.
Millersville (10-11, 6-6 PSAC East) trailed 50-49 with just more than six minutes remaining, but that's when Parker began imposing his will upon the game. Parker, a junior, hit one of his five 3-pointers on Millersville's next trip, and when his team trailed by five with 4:23 to go, he answered with another three and eight consecutive makes at the free throw line. His two free throws with 1:16 remaining erased a one-point deficit and gave Millersville the lead for good.
Parker still had some more heroics to provide. Mansfield (6-17, 4-9 PSAC East) possessed the ball with an opportunity for the final shot, trailing 63-62. The Mountaineers found Charles Pemberton on the baseline, but Parker's quick hands stripped the ball away. He was immediately fouled, and he swished both free throws to give Mansfield only hope for a tie. Ryan Krawczeniuk's last ditch 3-pointer from the top of the key hit the front of the iron.

Chivas USA Encourages Fans to Say "Yes!" to Organ Donation
Saturday night's game against the Seattle Sounders was Donate Life Night, as Chivas USA partnered with Donate Life California to raise donor awareness about the importance of organ and tissue donation, which can save and heal thousands of lives every year. Fans were encouraged to check "Yes!" when applying for or renewing their driver's license or I.D. cards to become organ and tissue donors. Californians can also sign up on the Donate Life California Organ and Tissue Donor Registry at www.donateLIFEcalifornia.org or www.donateVIDAcalifornia.org.
"It is a very urgent situation," said Donate Life California representative Paula Valle. "People die everyday waiting for a donation."
200 Southland transplant recipients and organ and tissue donor family members were on hand to see the Goats and the Chivas play to a 0-0 draw.
"Saturday night's game was an opportunity for us to energize our fans beyond their excitement for our team, moving and inspiring them to celebrate life and register to become a donor," said Chivas USA Senior Manager of Community Affairs Nadia Gonzalez.
Organ and tissue donation is a very important cause to the Red-and-White. Sergio Gomez, a passionate Chivas USA fan and Legion 1908 supporter, is alive because of a donation of a kidney from his sister, Claudia Pinzon. At the game, Gomez unveiled a banner that read, "My heart belongs to Chivas, my organs belong to you."

Kristy Nichols took on her first big challenge as the new state commissioner of administration when she sat down last week to explain to two legislative committee why they should out-source management of a state employee health insurance plan. She got off to an interesting start by telling the 30 or so senators and representatives, "I'd like to dumb down what we're here to talk about today and make it very simple for members."
It went south from there. Four hours later, after sharp questioning, heated exchanges and confusing motions, Nichols returned to the table to withdraw the item from the agenda. Her reason for doing so, according to a statement from her office, was to clear up questions about savings and voting procedure. But no one in the room was so dumb as to believe any explanation other than that the proposed contract, very simply, would have been rejected by House members had they voted on it.
Citizens who don't work for government may not see the problem with a private company administering a health insurance plan, since they deal with insurance companies already. But the proposed contract with Blue Cross is of great concern to state workers, teachers and retirees, who have flooded legislators' offices with calls to keep the state Office of Group Benefits managing their coverage.
Yet the controversy goes deeper to the deteriorating relationship between Gov. Bobby Jindal & Co. and state legislators, who complain that the administration does not involve them in policy matters and doesn't always shoot straight with them when it does.
It did not help that administration officials intended to ratify the contract without even asking for legislative approval, but an attorney general's opinion held otherwise.
"The elephant in the room is mistrust," said Louisiana School Board Association president Scott Richard, who was speaking for teachers, but whose sentiments are shared by a growing number of legislators.
Some backtalk from Democrats and stray Republican back benchers is not uncommon, but the discontent appears to be infecting the leadership team. Among those questioning the credibility of administration officials on the insurance contract was Rep. Cameron Henry, R-Metairie, who was vice chairman of the Appropriations Committee until the next morning, when Speaker Chuck Kleckley booted him from the panel, along with another administration critic Rep. Joe Harrison, R-Napoleonville. A press release from the speaker's office attributed the move to a "better understanding of legislators' talents." Henry apparently lacked the ability to hold his tongue.
The governor would have an easier time getting legislators to do what he wants if he treated them better than serfs. But building personal relationships, the heart of politics, requires more time and effort than he seems willing to expend. How he conducts his political business these days could cause more stalemates with lawmakers, which opponents of the Blue Cross contract would not mind at all. If that also means three years of getting little done in the Legislature, however, that not only would be sad but also just plain dumb.

No injuries are reported, but two vehicles are destroyed in a garage fire Sunday evening.
Terry Hefner of the Wood County fire prevention team says the two vehicles-a chairlift van and a race car-.were being stored in a garage which caught fire.
The home, owned by Richard Danver, had an alarm system, which alerted its occupants to the fire.
Lubeck Volunteer Fire Chief Mark Stewart says the fire from the unattached garage spread to the home, but firefighters were able to keep it from spreading beyond the attic.
He says the exact cause hasn't been determined, but the fire is believed to be accidental.

For me, this tea is undrinkable. When you open the bag there is a strong, offensive aroma
- kerosene-like. Nonetheless, thinking that it might just be me, I decided to go ahead and brew a cup. While the smell has softened a little, it continues to smell bad. The taste is very bland. Where is the Peach!?!
Overall: Undrinkable due to the terrible smell of the tea.

ALBANY -- Call it a stretch run.
Actually, make that a stretch swim.
All four (varsity and JV) Deerfield-Windsor swim teams finished first at the Raider Invitational in Southland on Saturday in an important meet heading into the state meet at Georgia Tech in two weeks.
The boys team finished with 101 points -- 30 ahead of host Southland -- and is still undefeated on the season.
"This meet, I really had a lot of kids do not their normal events -- stuff they've never done before," head coach Lorraine Withers said. "I wanted them to try different events. You never know what you can do until you do it, but I had them do an extra warmups before, so it was a good training meet. Next week is the last regular season meet before state, so (this was an important win)."
The boys team set a school record in the 200 freestyle relay (1:38.77) and was led by Taylor Withers, who finished first in the 50 freestyle (22.49) and 100 breaststroke (1:10.94).
The boys also won the 200 medley relay with a time of 1:52.70, while Beau Sinyard won the 200 IM in 2:39.93.
The girls, who finished with 120 points, were led by Haley Daughtry, as she won the 200 freestyle with a time of 2:20.59.
They also won the 200 medley relay (2:15.89) and 200 freestyle relay (1:59.84).
Lorraine Withers said her team looks good heading into next week's meet at Albany State, then the state meet after that.
"This is definitely the strongest meet for my varsity boys, but my varsity girls, I think they looked as good as I've ever seen them," the DWS coach said. "This is the strongest team I'ver (ever coached)."

Chicago is, in fact, the middle of everywhere
On a recent Freakonomics podcast, they talk to Thomas Dyja who wrote a book called "The Third Coast: When Chicago Built the American Dream."
One of the best takeaways during the 30-minute podcast is how Chicago is so inclusive, a distinct quality from hustlin' cities like New York and LA.
How can other big cities learn from Chi and create an environment where everyone is on an equal playing field? Co-working spaces? Cross-community events like Ciclavia? Any other ideas?

Samsung take note: your ads seem to have no negative effect on Apple sales, but hey, they're your millions of dollars to throw away as you see fit.
The whole ad campaign just reeks of desperation on Samsung's part so I imagine the iPhone 5 has really got them worried them just like the original iPhone did in 2007.
As a matter of fact you could argue that a strategy of ridiculing Apple 'line-waiters' is especially ineffective coming from a company like Samsung which produces clearly inferior products when Every. Single. Person. In. Those. Lines. Knows. It. Of course I'm hoping there is no line when I go to buy my iPhone 5 but as that's VERY unlikely I'll have no problem waiting a few hours either.
Getting the best is worth the wait.
Get in Line—Vote with Your Feet (TM)

A lovely series of posters by Ryan Atkinson that brilliantly mixes fashion, typography and design.
A lovely series of posters by Ryan Atkinson that brilliantly mixes fashion, typography and design.
July 2nd was Swiss designer Karl Gerstner's 80th birthday. While Josef Müller-Brockman may enjoy status as the most well-known Swiss graphic designer, Gerstner's impact in design and advertising places him as a pioneer in the field. His work in the 1960's for companies like Geigy or Citroën established many of the conventions and approaches designers still use today. As a result, Gerstner's work still looks as contemporary today as it did 50 years ago. Above his ability to output great design, Gerstner developed his own design theories based on the programmatic and systematic approach solving design problems. Whether graphic designers know it or not, Gerstner's theories are foundational to how they approach design problems.
This birthday milestone should be marked to pay Karl Gerstner respect and gratuity for his trailblazing in design.
Karl Gerstner was born in Basel, Switzerland in 1930. His life was divided between being a painter and a graphic designer in which he saw success in both pursuits. Gerstner studied design at Allgemeine Gewerbschule in Basel under Emil Ruder. In 1959, he partnered with Markus Kutter, a writer and editor, to form the agency Gerstner+Kutter which then became GGK with the addition of architect Paul Gredinger. GGK became internationally successful as a design agency.
Gerstner's influence on typography is significant to the history and theories of graphic design. He popularized the use of unjustified ragged-right text in typography. He also proposed what he called Integral Typography which extended Max Bill's ideas on typography. A message in the form of text can convey a meaning or some information, however, when typography is used in an informed manner, Gerstner felt that it could greatly contribute to the connection between the words and the actual meaning (Left– Advertisement for Endress + Hauser, a company which sold measuring equipment. (Mid-1960s)). Gerstner saw typography as a way to express a whole greater than the sum of the words and the meanings. For example, the large headline of one of his Citroën advertisement stated "Don't buy this car" which was followed with "if you don't expect something out of the ordinary in a car" in smaller type. While this may seem commonplace or trite today, Gerstner + Kutter trailblazed the clever use of type to make a point. In other words, Gerstner knew that the aesthetics of typography can aid the communication of ideas and information and that was the foundation of Integral Typography. Gerstner extended this idea beyond typography to the point where it was more important to consider the whole of the organization/company/project instead of the individual design elements or pieces. This is echoed in Gerstner + Kutter's principles brochure which speaks of the necessary connection between word and illustration in design pieces. His contribution to graphic design may be this holistic pursuit of understanding a design problem within a context to find its solution.
Gerstner defines design as picking out determining elements and combining them. Much of his design theory hinges on the designer's ability to make informed choices based on understanding of the problem and the combinations of elements. To come to a problem's solution, the designer must be able to describe and understand the problem. By then developing a set of intellectual criteria, the designer is able to make 'creative decisions' which are based on a systematic approach instead of instinct.
The set of "intellectual criteria" that Gerstner speaks about can also be seen as a set of consciously derived parameters which directly address the problem the designer has identified. For Gerstner, these criteria took the form of a systematic set of rules or parameters which he referred to as a programme. In 1964, Gerstner wrote Designing Programmes which outlined his theories. A programme is a systematic approach to solving a problem which comes from an understanding of a problem. It is important to note that the approach is responsive and often unique to the specific problem. With Gerstner's pursuits as a graphic designer and a painter, we can see his programmatic approach manifest itself in two different, but equally systematic ways.
The development of logos or wordmarks is a common task for the graphic designer. Invariably, it involves experimentation and generation of many variations to find the best solution for the logo. Gerstner's (1968) morphological typogram programme was intended as a way for designers to systematically produce a number of variations of a wordmark. It lists a number of parameters of type on the left column and then each one is broken into how that particular parameter can be modified or treated. For example, typeface is broken down into san-serif, roman, german, some other or a combination of typefaces.
By generating variations with this programme, the designer does not have to rely on randomly creating variations, but can systematically create variations. From these, the designer can quickly determine a good approach to the wordmark and then develop a solution.
With Gerstner's the Intermöbel wordmark, his final solution was derived from the combination: a-11, 21, 33; b-14, 22; c-12, 22, 33, 41; d-11, 22, 31, 43.
The strength of this programme is that it allows the designer to develop a number of wordmarks through the systematic combinations of a list of defined parameters. This keeps the designer from having to randomly think of type variations for developing iterations of a wordmark. The programme is not a replacement for creativity, however. Once designer generates a version that has something interesting about it or addresses the design problem, they can then focus on refining that idea. The programme allows the designer to expend their creative energy on the refinement of a good idea instead of a large number of ideas which may not address the problem.
The use of grids was popularized and refined by Swiss designers like Josef Müller-Brockmann and is one of the signature characteristics of Swiss style of graphic design. Grids are a programme that sets a number of parameters through columns, gutters and margins which allow designers to generate creative layouts quickly but also maintains a consistency in between elements on a page or between pages of a document. Karl Gerstner was the first to truly exploit grids and create them with unmatched complexity which yielded incredible flexibility.
In 1962, Gerstner was commissioned to design a quarterly magazine called Capital. It was a magazine intended to put the ideas of economics into a human perspective and so it needed to be clear, aesthetically pleasing, and engaging. He considered grids to be a "…reliable regulating tool for layout, tables, pictures, etc., a formal program, a priori, for a give quantity of unknown content". The grid provides a set of guidelines to consistently lay out unpredictable content.
Grids can turn design into a simple act of placement of elements into a series of column. While this can provide the consistency, grids can be a trap for designers; creating uninspired, homogenous layouts. This is especially the case with simple grids. For Capital, Gerstner developed an complex grid which was flexible and allowed rapid, creative and consistent layouts. As a grid grows in complexity, it provides "a maximum number of constants with the greatest possible variability".
The grid looks incredibly complex at first, but upon examination, shows itself as a number of grids overlaid upon each other. While each grid overlay was often used separate, they were designed so if columns were mixed together, they would still maintain a harmony between each other. This way the magazine's layout is consistent from page to page and between the different grid versions, separate or combined.
Why are Gerstner's concepts of programmes important to designers? Programmes are a way to introduce economy into a design process. Gerstner asserted that programmes are a means of developing a structure to be creative in. While a structure can be seen as limiting, it can also be seen as establishing the parameters of a design problem which can keep a designer focused. By integrating a systematic approach to ideation, iteration or composition, a designer can reduce the time spent on randomly arriving at solutions. This time saved in the early stages can then be used later on to refine and improve concepts. For example, Gerstner's typogram programme allows for rapid and systematic generation of a number of possibilities for a wordmark. The programme itself, does not offer the answer or anything new, but it clears the designer's mind of needing to conceive iterations so they can focus on the design problem and its needs.
Programmes allow designers to keep from starting from scratch every time. A grid provides the designer with something that they can use from layout to layout for a magazine or document as a starting point. The success in any programme relies on its adequacy and robustness in addressing the design problem. As a grid is developed, it is important that its design is informed by the design problem it is addressing. The grid allows the designer to rapidly lay out pages in an informed manner. In the case of Capital magazine, the grid was also complex enough that it was flexible and provided ample opportunity for the designer to be creative in their explorations laying out the pages. This complexity liberates the designer from the constraints of the simple grid by offering incredible possibilities and variations for layouts while maintaining consistency between elements, pages and issues. The creativity that the Capital grid affords is proof in itself that rules can provide a framework to solving a design problem without determining the final result. The grid is never the answer to the design problem, it is just provides informed guidelines to arrive at the answer.

I'm back in action folks, sorry for the short hiatus.
While I was away I came across this new blog called 80 Magazine that features classic design and typography from the 50's and 60's. It instantly has become one of my favorite blogs to read by featuring work by Gerstner, Brockmann, Lohse, Crouwel and Emil Ruder, who's poster is pictured above.
The blog has a lot of pieces that I've never seen, including this collection of posters by Emil Ruder.
As you know, I'm a big grid system user. One of the most time consuming, and sometimes frustrating, aspects of grid systems is calculating and creating them. If you're new to grids, I suggest you do it all by hand at first to learn the process. But once you get the hang of it, and understand it, an application can speed the process up considerably and save you valuable time.
Over the last few months I've been using an app called Grid Calculator, developed by Designers Bookshop, to do all my calculating for me so that I could concentrate on other things. It's available for both Mac and PC and helps with calculating correct leading, margins, gutters, row space and "f" height for image placement. It also includes a handy conversion tool and document proportions.
It's currently aimed more towards editorial design, but it could still be used for web design with some minor calculating on the side. Hopefully they expand the next version to include more features for web specific design.
I figured that a lot of you would be interested in this app, so I've contacted the company and they've agreed to give AisleOne readers a 10% discount. The offer is only valid this week: Monday, April 27th to Friday, May 1st. To get the discount, enter in the following code upon checkout : Baseline.
Enjoy and happy gridding.
I'm always amazed at the amount of quality work coming out of Australia and New Zealand. Add another firm to the list. Scenario is a multi-diciplinary firm with office in Auckland and Wellington producing stellar work. I've also been informed that their site is built on a 12 column — sub-divided in 24 column grid, all aligned to a baseline grid throughout. Very nice!
The National Theatre has an excellent site dedicated to the posters created for the theatre dating back to the 1960's. You can browse via genre or decade and the posters are available at multiple sizes for purchase. I recommend checking out the 60's and 70's first.
I had to come out of hibernation for this one. Danny, Marieke and Erwin from Experimental Jetset just emailed me about their new site. They've added a ton of new work, most of which I've never seen before, and all of it is just blowing my mind. Check out their new site but I will warn you, get a bib.
So as many of you already know, I'm freakin' obsessed with grids. A lot of designers either don't want to be bothered with grids or just don't understand them, so I wanted to spread the love a little.
So I created The Grid System.
It's basically an ever-growing resource site on the topic of grid systems and anything associated to it, like the golden ratio and baseline grids. My goal for the site is to be a one stop shop for all designers to learn about grid systems, how to design them and how to use them.
The site features links to articles, tools, books as well as templates and other goodies. I've also added the ability to show the grid that the site was built on, this way visitors can learn about the structure and how it was applied to the design. Let me tell you, it was a pain to get everything to sit on the grid and baselines and to stay consistent across multiple browsers. As of now, the site lines up perfectly with the grid in Safari and Firefox on a Mac. I assume it would be the same on the PC but I haven't had the time or a computer to test it. I do plan on making it work in all major browsers on both platforms, even the dreadful IE.
I've also partnered up with YouWorkForThem to bring a great collection of books to the site. Over time the site will grow in content (I have a backlog of articles and tools to post) as well as features. I plan to add a forum where people can chat about grid systems and design in general, and other small things like wallpapers. Additionally, I've created a Flickr group as an extension of the site.
Check it out and let me know what you hate and what you love. I'd love to know what you think.
Another great exhibit that I won't be able to see. I thought NYC was the art capital of the world? Great shows like this are never here.
Anyway, Vivid Gallery in Rotterdam will be hosting an exhibition on Wim Crouwel from October 11 — November 23. If you're in the Netherlands you won't want to miss it.
An exhibition with 100 designs by Wim Crouwel celebrating his 80th birthday
and also celebrating 20 years Nijhof & Lee
To celebrate the 80th birthday of Wim Crouwel and 20 years Nijhof & Lee VIVID organises the exhibition 80 | 20 | 100
100 works by Crouwel will be on display. For this VIVID gallery made a selection out of the superb Crouwel collection of Frank Nijhof and Warren Lee.
The exhibition will be accompanied by a fully illustrated catalogue designed by David Quay.
Luke Hayman and Paula Scher of the New York Pentagram office have redesigned the Persian Gulf's leading English language newspaper, the Khaleej Times. The new design makes use of the space saving typeface, Freight by Joshua Darden, and a wider 6 column grid.
I'd love to one day redesign a newspaper. Text and grid heavy project is paradise.
A short but excellent write up over at Thinking for a Living about Emil Ruder, one of the pioneers of the International Typographic Style.

Spicy avocado
Blended avocado cream with lime juice was a very usual dessert back home. I still remember the sour taste at the corner of my tongue that forced me and my siblings to frown our eyes until they close. One day, while I was shopping at the supermarket, I bumped into a pyramid of avocados and I realized that I wasn't used to buying them. Why not? I decided to take two.
One turned to be this cream from my childhood (and there is no need for a recipe, you just blend it with lime juice in a blender) and the other, a spicy salad – fuerte! – if smashed, you can have a perfect guacamole for those evenings that we just feel like nibbling while we drink something and have a chat with some good friends.
Remove the inner part of 1 ripe avocado with a spoon. Put it in a bowl. Chop a red onion very well; add leaves of 4 branches of coriander, squeeze half lime and one chilli pepper finely chopped (remember to remove the seeds). Add as much salt as you prefer and serve it with tortillas or tacos.

McAllister's work has been recognized by Cannes, the One Show, Communication Arts and Clios, among others. Clients such as the Seattle Sounders, Ford Motor Company, Darigold, Copper Mountain Ski Resort, Microsoft, the University of Washington, ESPN, Nike and T-Mobile come to Wexley for the agency's take on experiential advertising and digital marketing. McAllister was named one of the Northwest's Top 40 Under 40 by the Puget Sound Business Journal, and was named by Seattle magazine as one of the city's 25 most influential people.
Showing Up and Staying There
What's the strangest request you've received from a client?
The strangest request, and certainly the most exciting, was when the United States Army asked us to help with guerrilla marketing during the 2009 presidential elections in Afghanistan. The Taliban are exceptionally talented when it comes to vandalism, faking U.S. communications and scaring the shit out of people. So we helped the Army create projections and audio blasts, things the Taliban couldn't tamper with, as well as helping them communicate with the Taliban on social media. I am both a chicken and a wimp, so the idea of me bravely representing our great nation when things got serious wasn't ever on anyone's radar. But getting a letter of appreciation from a commanding officer of the Stryker Brigade Combat Team felt like getting a medal.
What trends in advertising are you most interested in and why?
It's interesting how clients handle quantifiable results. There have been giant steps forward in analytics and digital measurement, which makes it easier to find a justifiable return on investment—but it doesn't mean the numbers are actually right. This is statistics. Anyone can make any numbers say anything, really, because there is no proven scale of success until you look at sales. But I have people who want us to pitch and promise numbers. I can promise a million YouTube views; anyone can, because you can go buy them. Does that mean they are valuable to the brand, or that the ad is a good investment? Get serious. This new era of measurability has a lot of folks screaming, "Finally!" without truly looking at what they've found.
Where did the name Wexley School for Girls come from?
That's what those guys over at 72andSunny were going to call themselves, but I hacked into their emails and I stole it.
What is one challenge currently facing advertising agencies that they need to address in order to remain relevant?
Simply, Google.
What are the advantages and possibilities of experiential marketing?
Experiential marketing offers long periods of engagement. We get to communicate with people, exchange ideas and truly make our audience a part of the process. Consumers have a two-way conversation now, and we can make that scale by working with digital elements.
How is the rise of technology helping or hurting the brands you work for?
Technology is double-edged for sure. It allows brands to communicate a voice and create an experience like never before, in ways the customer might never expect. The opportunities are truly limitless—but so is exposure to brands. It's hard to keep secrets. You really can't pull one over on an informed public, so there is no point in trying. Especially on social media, consumers are asking questions and they expect them to be answered, particularly when they don't like the way a brand is doing business.
What would you be doing if you weren't in advertising?
If no one ever took the time to create an industry in which one just sits around and gets paid to make stuff up, travel the world, create reasonable influence over people they'll never meet, eat at the tables of the world's best chefs and then bitch about it all…? Ugh, I don't even want to think about what that looks like.
What's the best advice you've been given in your career?
When I was finishing up at Creative Circus, I was whining to my advisor, Mike Jones Kelly, about writer's block. After listening to a solid ten minutes of my bitching about creative stagnation, he told me the most valuable thing I've heard: "Cal, you're not good enough for writer's block." Writer's block is giving up, and it's an excuse. Take a break, but don't quit.
Do you have any advice for people just entering the profession?
It pays to be tireless. Coming up with new ideas when good ones die for obscure reasons; working longer than seems necessary on a production because the results just aren't there yet; putting in an extra phone call when e-mail is easier. Half of success in this business is just showing up. The other half is staying there.

One more question for you guys,
Is it possible to install a locking tremolo bridge on a Singlecut SE without a tremolo? I wonder how it will sound.
I found a nice locking tremolo bridge for 120 dollars. I might buy this one and install on my Singlecut SE which originally doesn't have tremolo bridge.
What do you guys think?
