Menifee The Mt. San Jacinto College women's basketball team climbed to heights never achieved by any team before it.
The Eagles' amazing run took them all the way to Sacramento.
It ended last Sunday, when they lost to Mt. San Antonio College, 54-41, in the state title game at Consumes River College in Sacramento.
MSJC (30-3) set a school record for wins in a season. It was also the Eagles' first appearance in a state title game.
"I think the thing our coaching staff will remember most is the lack of drama amongst the team, and the amazing chemistry," said MSJC eighth-year coach Chris Mozga. "This team really believed and counted on one another, and held each other responsible, which is sometimes tough to get at this level."
Foothill Conference MVP Tina Fantroy, who scored 54 points in two games, and Destiny Melton were named to the all-tournament team.
Mt. SAC (34-0) won its second straight state title and its sixth in the last 10 seasons.
Championship game losses are perhaps the most painful to absorb.
"We just comforted each other," said Fantroy, whose impressive season included a 50-point game. "I felt like we played well enough defensively to win.
"We just couldn't get any shots to drop. We had no problem finding shots. We all had difficulty adjusting to the rims."
The Eagles led by two points with less than six minutes remaining. They did not score another field goal.
"I will always remember the time I spent with my teammates and the great run we put together," said sophomore Faith Fantroy, Tina's identical twin sister. "I will always remember the confidence and trust my coaches had in me because it means the world to me."
Mozga hopes to climb the mountain again next season.
"I thanked our four sophomores for all their dedication to our program," he said. "I told the freshmen that if we want another chance at something like this, we are going to have to work very hard in the offseason to make it a possibility."
Baseball remains hot
Freshman Joe Fernandez allowed one earned run in seven innings, leading the Mt. San Jacinto baseball team to a 5-2 victory over visiting Victor Valley on Thursday in a Foothill Conference game.
The Eagles (11-11, 7-7) have won seven of their last nine games.
Fernandez (3-3) scattered eight hits and did not allow a walk. He lowered his earned-run average to 2.27. Freshman Sean Sanders earned his first save, pitching two scoreless innings.
MSJC scored three runs in the bottom of the first. Sophomore third baseman Johnny Armenta doubled in the first run. Glenn Nichols followed with a two-run single. The Eagles added single runs in the fourth and the seventh.
The Eagles will play a pair of non-conference road games next week before returning home next Friday to face Taft.
Softball struggling
The MSJC softball team allowed 14 hits — including three doubles and three triples — in a 14-2 loss at College of the Desert last Wednesday.
The Eagles (5-13-1, 1-4) have lost six of their last seven games. The Roadrunners (22-5, 6-0) have won six straight.
Nohely Alvarez, who relieved Paige Overfield in the first inning, surrendered all 14 runs.
Desert pitcher Danyelle Sturm scattered six hits in five innings to earn the win. She also had three hits and scored three runs.
The Eagles host San Bernardino at 3 p.m. Wednesday at MSJC- Menifee.

Is it legal? I just saw an ad on Craig's List and was wondering.
The sea monkey has my money.
I have wondered this also. I have quite a bit in deep freezer storage and I had thought about selling it, too, but wasn't sure if it was legal. I will be interested to see what another poster writes back!
I got tired of my signature, but I still love my children and husband and miss my little brother.
I think it is illegal since it is a bodily fluid that can harbor pathogens...
Also if it was legal for anyone to sell why would there be milk banks?
I would not buy or sell milk to/from a stranger that's just kind of scary.
be good family...
I found the Wired article and this quote off of another site:
[The FDA is worried about the booming unregulated milk market. Blood, semen and other bodily fluids are held up to super-strict health standards but because breast milk is considered food, so the guidelines are much more lax. Though no illnesses or death from donor breast milk has been reported, the FDA is concerned this loophole puts infants at risk.[/quote]
Personally, I wouldn't buy it or sell it BUT I would donate it to a baby in need...not some guy with a breast milk fetish or for biological research, but to a baby in need. I put selling breastmilk for profit in the same line as selling body parts to those in desperate need. I feel it's just morally wrong. I don't even like the fact that milk banks charge but I can understand why because of their screening practices and things which cost money.
I love making a home for my man in uniform and my children.

by Robyn Griggs Lawrence, Editor at Large
In the past couple of weeks, we've reported on the U.S. Department of Agriculture's disturbing acquiescence to Monsanto; the agency announced that it would grant non-regulated status for alfalfa that has been genetically engineered to resist Monsanto's commercial herbicide known as Roundup, and defied a court order prohibiting planting of Monsanto's Roundup Ready sugar beets until a proper study of their environmental impact could be done. This trend is disturbing, but there's plenty we can do. Today in a great post on Grist, Robynn Shrader, chief executive of the National Cooperative Grocers Association, gave us "Four Things You Can Do to Defend Organic against the GMO Alfalfa Threat."
"Last month's decision by the USDA to fully deregulate GE alfalfa isn't just a minor skirmish in a long and exhausting battle," Shrader writes. "It threatens the existence of organic farming and organic food, and flies in the face of USDA's mandate from Congress under the Organic Foods Production Act to promote and preserve organic agriculture." Sustainable agriculture advocates including National Cooperative Grocers Association, Organic Valley, Stonyfield, and organic champion Maria Rodale are calling for organizations to 'stand together in opposition to GE alfalfa,' she adds. "The USDA's decision last week was a tremendous setback, but the fight is far from over."
Here's what Shrader urges each of us to do today to take action on this issue:
Never underestimate the power of the vigilante consumer.

A few excerpts from W's 5/1/03 victory speech:
"Admiral Kelly, Captain Card, officers and sailors of the USS Abraham Lincoln, my fellow Americans: Major combat operations in Iraq have ended."
"The Battle of Iraq is one victory in a war on terror that began on September the 11th, 2001"
"In these 19 months that changed the world, our actions have been focused, and deliberate, and proportionate to the offense. We have not forgotten the victims of September the 11th — the last phone calls, the cold murder of children, the searches in the rubble. With those attacks, the terrorists and their supporters declared war on the United States. And war is what they got."
"We have begun the search for hidden chemical and biological weapons, and already know of hundreds of sites that will be investigated"

Dragon Slayers of Nenlast
Quotes from Elemental Chaos
Encounter 1: Elemental Encounter
Slash: You're sweating, next to a sweaty dwarf. It's bad.
Patrick: But Loni's comfortable.
Slash: She's the most comfortable she's ever been!
Slash: Now these hidden air elementals attack.
Josh: "Why didn't you see them?"
Matt: "They're air! They could have been your air!"
Josh: "I didn't second wind yet!"
Josh: Broknar breaks out for the Far Lands.
Slash: INDEED!
Josh: Hellllllloooooooooooo, ladies and gentlemen!
Slash: He saves against your fingers.
Slash: You could put your spirit there, heal someone else, and grant him 3d6 HP.
Matt: Hmm-mmm, could've done that.
Slash: But it's Muckenfuss.
Patrick: I'm blind. Do not caw-caw me!
Patrick: I cast Tensor's Floating Disk and we all go across one at a time.
Slash: Despite your best efforts, the disk wobbles oddly as it goes across, unable to orient itself properly in the odd gravity here. Even when it appears to be upside down, however, everybody on it stays firmly rooted to it.
Patrick: "I'm doing this on purpose!"
Sara: When we get off, I vomit on him.
Patrick: 28 Diplomacy. "We are lost travelers. How do we exit this plane?"
Joan: [ translating ] "We have no clue; how do we get out?"
Matt: Some of the diplomacy is lost in translation.
Joan: "Can we offer you anything to convince you to help us?"
Slash: Without turning back, he goes, "Nnnnnnnnope."
Slash: In the distance, you see an airship approaching.
Josh: Hey, it's The Expendables!
Slash: Upon seeing the name "Tratus" written across the airship's hull, Loni's despair vanishes.
Matt: What vanishes?
Slash: Her despair. Not her clothes.
Slash: Loni's brother escaped capture, but his whereabouts are unknown.
Josh: What's his name?
Slash: Oh, I don't think I have it.
Josh: "Loni, what's his name?" Make something up!
Matt: Bill! George!
Josh: Bob!
Patrick: Ricardo!
Slash: Bob the prince!
Joan: Leon.
Josh: Loni and Leon.
Slash: Loni and Leon, I like it. That's his nickname; we'll come up with a full name for him later.
Josh: Ventleon! …dra?
Robyn&Sara: Dro!
Slash: Ventleondro! I like it; that's canon now!
Patrick: Muckenfuss calls for quiet, settles himself….
Matt: And gently weeps.
Lardojar Mouthcrapper
Slash: The priests collapse again in exhaustion.
Josh: "You guys gotta find a better way to do this."
Patrick: "Have a Gatorade or something."
Slash: Right now, the Stewards are in power.
Patrick: Are the Stewards over level 11?
Slash: Using a very simple cantrip that almost anyone could learn, he makes his name appear in midair in rapidly changing colors, like this. [ displays a GIF on the screen ]
Matt: [ reading out loud ] "Lardojar Mouthcrapper."
Slash: "Hey you, it's pronounced lair-dough-har mooth-kra-pay."
Robyn: 27 Intimidate. I give him a withering stare.
Sara: "She's just playing hard to get!" Arquera starts laughing harder.
Matt: The sisters are divided for the first time!
Slash: [ describing the calendar ] And yes, every four years they add a day. I think it's Shield Day or something.
Josh: SHIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEELD
Matt: I can't sleep. I'm in the short people ward and all I can hear all night is [ Lardojar's ] "Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa" up and down the hallway.
The Topaz Chariot
Patrick: "Where is the nearest traitor?"
Slash: The hand points off toward that inn.
Josh: The Topaz Chariot. Is that like The Blue Oyster? We send in Muckenfuss.
Patrick: Why?
Josh: They're your people!
Patrick: Because I'm blue?
Slash: You racist!
Josh: I'm a color racist.
Slash: A colorist.
Patrick: "Where is the headquarters of the Firestone Cable?"
Slash: The Firestorm Cabal? What did you say, the Firestone Cable?
Josh: "Now who's mouth-crapping, Muckenfuss?"
Patrick: "What's the name of the mage who cursed you?"
Slash: "Um…uh…Reido? Leyech?"
Patrick: "Do you have any idea what you're saying right now?"
Slash: [ struggling not to laugh ] I can't get this last one out…. "Beep?"
Josh: Beep?
Patrick: Meap? Put on a moustache and translate for us.
Slash: "He lives in a small hut near the beach."
Patrick: "You live on a small island…"
Josh: "…in the sky…."
Patrick: "What beach?"
Robyn: "Are there penguins at this beach?"
Slash: "…sometimes!"
Patrick: "As a…short…person, do you think Dolg would have more luck talking to the halfling?"
Matt: "Is that a short joke?"
Patrick: "No…."
Slash: It's a short observation.
Matt: "If you want short, you should open your robe and talk to him."
Josh: "Ooooooooooh snap!" Broknar high-fives Dolg. Or low-fives Dolg.
Patrick: "You look hungry and thirsty. Would you like some food or drink?"
Slash: "…you hittin' on me?"
Patrick: "My blue skin says I'm not."
Matt: What color is your skin if you are?
Josh: Rainbow!
Slash: "I'm not into…mages."
Encounter 2: Bar Room Brawl/Intel Gathering
Josh: Halfrand? So if he was a human, he'd be a Wholerand?
Slash: That was the name this NPC generator came up with. I was like, "So the random name for the halfling is Halfrand?"
Joan: I throw some coinage on the bar to buy the crazy elf a drink.
Matt: She recognizes him as her crazy uncle Larry. Ventlarrydro.
Josh: Muckenfuss speaks crazy.
Slash: She concentrates on the candle, and it freezes in a solid block. "Shit, that's not right."
Patrick: "How much for the lot?"
Slash: "For all of them? I'll have to do some quick calculations…."
Robyn: "As long as it doesn't involve a spell…."
Slash: "We have some aircraft you might be able to use. They're a little experimental…."
Josh: "Awesome. Are they goliath-sized?"
Slash: "We might be able to make some modifications to the cockpit."
Josh: "As long as that Mouthcrapper guy doesn't get anywhere near them!"
Patrick: "We will shake down these experimental craft for free." I mean, we're not paying for them.
Slash: "Okay! We appreciate your services! We would have paid you for them, but…."
Josh: "Dammit, Muckenfuss."
Encounter 3: Dogfight
[ Ed. Our place of work hands out Extra Mile Awards. ]
Slash: I'll be handing out these cards in cases where you've done something cool, like a neat bit of roleplay.
Robyn: So, like, going the Extra Mile?
Matt: What's my ship's initiative?
Slash: The initiative check for your ship is the same as that for your character.
Matt: That's no good.
Josh: An enemy mothership! I infect it with a virus!
Slash: Using your MacBook.
Josh: I'll give you my card because it sucks!
Patrick: Way to be a team player.
Sara: 14? Oh, no, sorry. 24.
Robyn: I was going to say, if you got a 14, you rolled a 0.
Slash: That's like one 3, three 6s and a 5 that mob museum d6 has rolled tonight. I'm keeping an eye on it.
Matt: Do they make d20s?
Slash: He goes flying off, sans legs.
Josh: Yay! I love "sans legs."
Patrick: He's my favorite character.
Patrick: [ after his ship is destroyed ] Now I can give him the finger with both hands.
Sara: Was that your plan all along? Get your ship destroyed?
Patrick: Miss all the time, sure.
Slash: And then the Badminton World Federation kicks him out. Reference.
Josh: Topical reference.
[ After Muckenfuss has commandeered an enemy ship… ]
Joan: How do we signal to everybody that this is Muckenfuss now?
Josh: I shoot down Muckenfuss!
Encounter 4: Entrance
Patrick: Can we surprise them?
Slash: Yeah, you'll get a surprise round.
Patrick: We surprise them.
Josh: "Boo!"
Slash: You are going to severely dislike this. They have a fiery riposte. Miss. Miss.
Matt: Do you "severely dislike" this?
Slash: I am going to severely dislike this.
Robyn: If I expend an action point to take an extra action, I can do Sneak Attack damage again. So I'm going to expend my action point and do Disheartening Strike. [ rolls ] 20! d6+8 = 14….
Slash: Plus another 24 for the Sneak Attack damage, so we're at 38….
Robyn: +1d6 per plus… [ rolls ] +8. Oh, and Death Dealer, I get +2 to each damage die.
Slash: Geez, so….
Josh: She carves her name into his back like ten times.
Matt: Q, Q, Q, Q, Q…okay Zorro, that's enough!
Matt: [ via iPod ] "Wings of Justice! Ca-caw!"
Patrick "Aaaa! I'm bloodied for gods' sakes!"
Matt: Right before she kills him, she lifts off her mask and says, "I want my family back, bitch!"
Encounter 5: Supply Room 1
Robyn: I use hand signals to indicate the two fire bats.
Josh: Broknar is confused.
Matt: Steal third?
Robyn: [ after racking up 51 points of damage on a coup de grace ] Sucker Punch. If I roll a 6 on the d6 I take 6 damage also. [ rolls ] 5.
Slash: Wow, that's impressive.
Patrick: I shift up one. [ reconsiders ] I move up two. [ reconsiders ] I move up three.
Josh: Muckenfuss's turn is over.
Patrick: Malediction of Rigidity. Muckenfuss's viagra.
Matt: Muckenfuss pitches a tent.
Slash: Oh, it's late.
Patrick: It's a good viagra. It's 1d8 plus 10 ongoing.
Matt: If the power lasts more than 4 hours past the end of the encounter….
Slash: If you fail more than 3 consecutive saves, see a doctor.
Joan: I'll take one for the team.
Matt: WHAT?!?
Robyn: Ze'ev counts as a companion, right?
Matt: Not like in Firefly, but yeah.
Patrick: Why'd you have to go there?
Matt: You started it!
Patrick: All I said was viagra.
Josh: 18 times!
Matt: You defined the line so I could cross it.
Josh: Broknar turns invisible.
Matt: "Wait, where'd you go, brother?"
Josh: "It's part of my armor."
Matt: "Can you turn it on and off whenever you want?"
Josh: You're going to hide in Loni's room, aren't you? "It's a little big for you, Dolg."
Joan: [ accidentally knocks over Broknar's mini ]
Josh: "Ow!"
Joan: "I found Broknar!"
Slash: Why doesn't Muckenfuss move up and—oh, you're too rigid to move.
Patrick: I believe I can make them bow to my….
First Key
Slash: As soon as Broknar starts opening a crate….
Josh: I see the words, "This explodes."
Patrick: As I open each crate…successfully…I look at Broknar.
Josh: I hang my head in shame.
[ faced with a very magical puzzle ]
Josh: Broknar juggles barrels. My INT is…11.
Josh: "That's all the pi I know. Does one of these symbols stand for peach?"
Encounter 6: Guard Barracks
Patrick: As a party, we all about-face.
Sara: And somehow Arquera ends up in the back anyway.
Slash: "Is that the princess?!?" Oh wait, you had a mask on, didn't you?
Matt: "That's awfully insightful!"
Slash: I show that you have Malediction of Rigidity still available.
Patrick: No, I used that last encounter.
Josh: We appreciate your honesty. [ stage whisper ] Next time, lie!
[ referring to a manifestation ]
Matt: Twin Panthers on Demonic Muckenfuss #4.
Josh: [ laughs ] They all look like you!
Slash: His angry growl shakes your very soul.
Patrick: I raise one eyebrow.
Matt: What's weird is that he raises it using a finger.
Josh: He uses Hand of Fate.
Patrick: [ rolling a save ] I did not pass. I Demand Justice on myself!
Josh: I will not suck!
Patrick: I'm down.
Robyn: Now they'll take a -2 penalty to attack you at range.
Slash: [ laughs ] So look on the bright side! Hello? Why aren't you listening?
Patrick: Because I'm unconscious!
Patrick: I look deep into his eyes and say, "You will meet the Raven Queen. In less than…6 seconds."
Slash: "I just have to wait for my turn to come around." And he's so confused.
Slash: "I will never bow to you, impotent magician."
Patrick: "Just wait until I rest and get my Malediction of Rigidity back! I will teabag your corpse."
Slash: "I'm a spirit, moron. I don't leave a corpse."
Joan: Pffft, 23 vs. AC.
Slash: That's enough.
Matt: It's also a 28.
Joan: Oh. No it's not. Oh yes, it is. That's a nine; I thought it was a six.
Minecraft Puzzle
Josh: What's the wall made out of?
Patrick: Unobtainium.
Slash: Inside one of the boxes is a log.
Josh: I read the log.
Slash: No, I mean, a wooden log.
Josh: I hit Muckenfuss with it.
Encounter 7: Finale
Patrick: Maybe he should riposte.
Josh: Shut up! Same team!
Patrick: [ as I reveal more enemies ] But I turned [ the dragon ] off!
The enemies enter via stairs instead.
Matt: Quick, hack the stairs!
Matt: "This is the worst case of Mummy Rot I've ever seen!" "You've never seen a single case before!" "This is the worst case of Mummy Rot I've ever seen!"

Williams & Connolly LLP725 Twelfth Street, N.W.Washington, D.C. 20005
Emmet Flood represents individuals, corporations and professional services firms in complex white-collar matters, Congressional investigations, professional liability disputes, and other high-stakes litigation and crisis situations. He has tried criminal and civil cases in state and federal courts and in arbitration, and has represented clients in investigations conducted by grand juries, Independent Counsel and Special Counsel, multiple federal agencies, state agencies and attorneys general, and the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives.
Mr. Flood spent two years in the White House Counsel's office, where he had lead responsibility for directing responses by the administration of President George W. Bush to hundreds of Congressional investigations and other inquiries.
In his civil practice, Mr. Flood has served as lead plaintiffs' counsel in trial court matters involving trusts and estates, ERISA, takings, and professional malpractice, and as defense counsel in complex commercial, securities, professional liability, regulatory and tax matters. He has represented religious institutions in litigation involving the First Amendment's Establishment and Free Exercise clauses, and has handled many domestic and international arbitrations and related litigation. Mr. Flood has also argued numerous appeals in federal and state appellate courts.
Mr. Flood's public-record representations include and have included:
Born in Chicago, Illinois, Mr. Flood grew up in two Chicago suburbs, Oak Park and Riverside. He graduated from the University of Dallas, magna cum laude, in 1978, then spent a year teaching English in a Dallas high school before enrolling in graduate school at the University of Texas at Austin, where he received his Ph.D. in philosophy in 1986. Mr. Flood continued as a post-doctoral fellow at Wesleyan University before entering Yale Law School, where he received his J.D. and was Executive Committee Coordinator of the Yale Law Journal. Mr. Flood clerked for Judge Ralph K. Winter, Jr. of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, and for Associate Justice Antonin Scalia at the Supreme Court of the United States before joining Williams & Connolly LLP in 1994.
In early 2007, Mr. Flood left the firm to become Special Counsel and later Deputy Counsel to President George W. Bush. The House and Senate had newly-elected Democratic majorities, and Mr. Flood was charged with formulating and executing the White House and wider Administration response to more than 700 Congressional and other investigations and inquiries addressed to the Executive Branch. Mr. Flood also coordinated internal White House response strategy among the counsel, communications, and legislative affairs offices, and joint responses for the White House and Cabinet departments and agencies. Mr. Flood rejoined Williams & Connolly in 2009. He is a member of the firm's Pro Bono Committee.

Recent Vieques Island Reviews
Nice Specious Place
Mr Zia was really nice and easy to deal with. His housemate Gardo was also great. We enjoyed our stay very much.
Lovely Vacation Home!
Casa Elegante is a beautiful home. We felt completely safe and secure staying there. The house had everything we needed and more! High quality linens and bath towels, lovely furnishings. The decorating and attention to details are evident throughout the entire home. We made good use of the provided beach towels, beach chairs, cooler and the Rav4 pretty much every day. Vieques has some amazing beaches. And when we arrived home after a rough day relaxing or playing in the waves, a quick rinse in the outdoor shower and a refreshing dip in the pool were a wonderful way to spend the rest of the afternoon. After going out for dinner (even though the kitchen is so well equipped, I just couldn't bring myself to cook on vacation – after all it is vacation!) We enjoyed the rooftop at night listening to the coqui's and enjoying the breeze. A very nice touch was that shampoos, conditioner and body wash are provided in all bathrooms. Made packing a little easier. Leslie and David were on top of answering questions and prompt in picking us up at the airport and dropping us off for our flight home. Super helpful and available for any questions we had while on the island. Go and enjoy this lovely home on the island of Vieques. We did and will have very fond memories for years to come. Thank you!

The set of TV's venerable "ER," starting its final season tonight, is so beat up and utilitarian, I distinguished myself during a set visit by trying to pull a door handle to the men's room only to slowly realize it was there for show.
(Wasn't there a scene like this in "Arrested Development"?).
"We take pride in trying to keep it aged," executive producer John Wells says of dingy and familiar surroundings of the fictional County General Hospital.
"Actually, it looks this crappy because, when we did the pilot, we exactly shot it at a real hospital -- or a closed hospital -- in East Los Angeles, which was a little smaller than this, but basically it looked like this," Wells said.
The show had been picked up late and "it was the only one that we could get that would let us shoot in it," he says. "We kind of went where we could go, and we shot, and we had all kinds of problems down there. The air-conditioning, we couldn't turn it on because, when they vacated the hospital, they didn't sanitize it. So they were afraid that, if we actually turned any of the air or heat on, that we'd blow all of the mold and germs and everything out of the ceiling."
When the show was a hit they built the set on the Warner Bros. lot "and we had to match it," Wells says. "So basically we just came down here, made the hallways two feet wider, and just re-did it. This was the ugly tile from the old Railroad Hospital in East Los Angeles and the wall colors and everything else from down there and the signage, and we just elaborated on that over the years. "
It doesn't take a lot of work to make it seem as bad as it looks, says executive producer Christopher Chulack. "Because of the amount of volume of work that we spend here every day, five days a week, it doesn't take a lot to make it look like crap. Crew members are laying on the beds, and stuff gets banged against the walls. So it gets worn out pretty good, but there is a difference between kind of our -- you know, artistic wear and tear as opposed to real bumps and bruises, and we put a lot of effort into that."

Empty sac at 5w3d
I had my first u/s today and my sac was measured at 5w3d. The doctor was very concerned because my hcg level was around 10,000 when last drawn on 7/2 and he feels like we should have been able to see something. I'm scheduled for another u/s next Monday. The also they drew more blood but I won't know the results until tomorrow. This would be my second blighted ovum in about 14 months. I haven't had any cramps or spotting/bleeding so I'm completely shocked this is happening again. Do I have any reason to be optmistic?

Two highly engaging pieces on prison tattoos were published this week:
On Monday, Flavorwire posted a photo gallery of prison tattoos that are part of Araminta de Clermont's Life After series (which includes the image above). Clermont photographed tattooed members of South Africa's Numbers prison gangs after their release. She explores questions of identity and stigma, possession and self-expression, and "how it would be if we all had our past mistakes permanently emblazoned across our faces."
I highly recommend reading Clermont's full discussion of Life After on her gallery page. Here's an excerpt:
Tattoos may convey rankings within the hierarchy of the Number, may be testimonies to a crime committed, or may sometimes be a rather more personal statement: like a message of blame, threat, or regret, or a tribute to a loved one. A 'Numbers' gangster can read another's life story simply through the markings he has. The gallows symbol signifies that the bearer faced the death sentence, before it was outlawed. Many of the most highly tattooed men that I photographed, had been given the death sentence, before Mandela's reprieve, and thus they had never believed they would be released, never imagining 'a life after'.More on the work can be found via this BBC audio slideshow.
Then, yesterday, The Independent and Gambit of New Orleans published an interview by Dege Legg (photos by Travis Gauthier) with Victor "Versus" Sandifer, a prison tattooer who spent 21 years behind bars. In the Q&A, Sandifer discusses how he got into jailhouse tattooing, making a "tattoo gun," and symbolism behind prison tattoo imagery, among other interesting tidbits. Here's a taste from the Gambit:
G: Who were your best customers in prison?
VS: I tattooed everybody: Mexicans, Chinese, white, black, all kinds of people. I did them all.
G: What kind of tattoos would they gravitate toward?
VS: Depends on the race. Black guys want gangster stuff: names, faces, gang affiliations, pictures of dead homies. Stuff that represents where they're from. Mexicans like religious imagery, lowrider and vato stuff. Girls, cars, Virgin Marys, Jesus. White dudes go for anything: dragons, knives, guns, swastikas. All kinds of weird stuff like that. Depends on the white guy you're talking to.
G: Lot of Aryan Brotherhood?
VS: You got a lot of diehard AB'ers out there, but you also got a lot of old-school Southern rockers that just want a ZZ Top tattoo.
G: What's the meaning behind teardrops?
VS: Depends on the state you're in. Some people wear them to count time under their left eye. Under the right, it signifies a dead homeboy. For some it's the number of people they've killed. In Louisiana, it doesn't mean as much--they just wear teardrops to be having them. In Texas, a lot of tattoos are gang related.Read more of the interview here.
In a time when mass media has finally been looking at tattooing as a fine art (reality shows excluded), it's interesting to see their current approach to stigmatized tattooing. They are both great reads. Check 'em.
This edition of tattoo news review breaks the headlines down into The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly. Let's start off with the latter:
The Ugly
The most popular story emailed by many of you is one of those that makes us feel just a bit better about ourselves as we point and laugh at others. Behold:
Misspelled tattoo
The only thing worse than a misspelled bad tattoo is losing a bet and having Nickelback frontman Chad Kroeger tattooed on your ass. See the butt-baring video of that here. [Click here for more Nickelback luv.]
Another lost bet: Stephen Baldwin thinking his Miley Cyrus tattoo will get him on Hannah Montana show. [Will refrain from snark on his loss in the Baldwin gene pool.]
Brilliant offense -- or offence -- with another "Sir, your tattoos are terrible" post on b-ball players' bad tattoos. See last week's ire. I'm becoming addicted to this series. Here's a taste:
Then there are the worst musician tattoos.
[Look, I'm really a people person. A lover of humanity. I only link the cattiness, not meow it myself. Mostly.]
The Bad
A while back I posted about the arrest of a dirtbag who gave his 7-year-old son a gang tattoo. Now he's facing even tougher punishment for the crime: possible life in prison.
A 28-year-old man was arrested for tattooing brass knuckles on his 16-year-old girlfriend. [Yes, 16.] Even worse, the guy would stand outside a local high school and offer to tattoo kids for $40 AND reuse the needles on them. Lock. Him. Up.
A Boston child goes to get a temp tattoo from a vending machine and instead gets a hateful political message. Will this scar her against body art for life?
The Good
Those wishing to leave gang life -- and their tattoos -- can get free laser removal by Las Vegas doctor, Dr. Julio Garcia. There are similar offers around the country like Dr. Dave's Fresh Start program.
Chris Zedano's Staple Street photo series is a must-see and includes our own Sean Risley (shown right, cropped) as well as other tattooed and beautiful freak portraits.
[Via CoolHunting.com]
This Charlie Brown tattoo is no blockhead.
More cool geek tattoos at the Science Tattoo Emporium.
Amy Winehouse is sobering up and covering her "Blake" tattoo, once a moving tribute to her junkie ex.
[Sorry, Green One. I had to.]
And in a category all by itself ... Lady Gaga tribute tattoos.
Having just written about Holocaust tattoos, I became curious about forced tattooing beyond Auschwitz. Hitler created nothing. His greatest evil was applying ancient barbaric practices to his time. Mass murder, extermination camps, frenzied national pride and race-baiting are tools of the past. So, too, is forced tattooing.
Scholars argue whether the branding of concentration camp victims was an organizational tool, meant only to expedite his far greater crimes, or if it was part of the victimization. Indeed, the process of tattooing to differentiate, degrade and dehumanize is a practice as ancient as the beginning of religion itself.
Imagine yourself in Rome. Your Emperor is sleeping with his horse, quite literally, and drinking virgin blood out of a golden goblet. You, on the other hand, are living in squalor, burning in the unrelenting sun and suffering the perversions of poverty. So, you steal, and if caught, you are tattooed as punishment, permanently marked as a criminal. As Maarten Hesselt van Dinter writes on Mundurucu.com of forced tattooing:
"Their purpose was control and they were used to identify gladiators, soldiers, prisoners and slaves. Tattooing specific groups with clearly visible signs made monitoring their movements easier. From the fourth century, Roman recruits were tattooed with the emblems of their units. Apart from their administrative use, according to Plato, tattoos were also used as punishment. Another reason was humiliation."
Read more of Maarten's writing on tattoo history worldwide (with images and designs) in his brilliant book The World of Tattoo: An Illustrated History.
The same occurred in the 17h century of Japan, where serious criminals were marked on their arms and foreheads with various symbols representing their crimes and places of origin.
The same has happened forever amongst warring tribes of native peoples about which our own scholarship only prevents us from truly recognizing the power they conveyed through forced corporal manipulation.
Even when the criminal classes began to adopt their markings as signs of status, the punishment of forced tattooing remained. Russian inmates, most notable of all prisoners for their extensive and evolved physical hieroglyphics, would brand informants, snitches and homosexuals with unwanted tattoos. Say what you will about criminals, but many have a rigid moral order and a strong sense of visiting justice upon those who violate it. That they choose to use tattoos to stigmatize is proof of its power.
In the last few years and much closer to home, there has been a very public increase in acknowledging the forced inking against marginalized and under protected minorities. THIS STORY from Singapore, and THIS STORY from China describe tattooing as a form of domestic violence. THIS STORY describes an instance of child abuse that is not rare enough.
And so the practice continues, in our jails and neighbors' homes, taking what we celebrate as art and debasing it as infliction.
This post is not meant as a comprehensive academic overview, but a brief look at tattoo history that is not decorative but punitive. Those with more information on forced tattooing are welcome to share their thoughts in the comments.
Starting off 2010 with a mega-news review, from tattooed skin bags to more eyeball tattooing.
In perhaps the most creepy cool headline we've read in a while, a pocket-book from the 1800s made of human skin -- which was tattooed -- was found in a flea market (car boot sale) in Shepton Mallet, Somerset, UK. According to the Daily Mail (which published the photograph above):
"The skin is believed have been taken off the back of a man who was executed after he tried to shoot a British major in the first Chinese Opium War of 1839."
The skin eventually came off the pocket-book and was then preserved in oil in a bottle, which was how it was sold at the market to a Dorset historian. Clues to its original ownership are found in a letter with the bag, which traces its origin to the Egerton family. In 1901, one family member alluded to the skin in her memoir: "Behind the green and beige doors of the bookcase of my mother's bedroom was one of the most gruesome of all her possessions." Read more on the history and details of the tattoos in the article.
The tattoo news that garnered the most headlines in the US surround parents who gave six of their under-age kids home tattoos and were subsequently arrested. The Georgia couple used the typical jail-house method of taking a pen tube, guitar wire and electric motor to tattoo small crosses on their kids' hands. The parents' defense, "They wanted it. They asked me." They're charged with three counts each of illegal tattooing, second degree child cruelty and reckless conduct. They may soon find out what a real prison tattoo looks like.
And speaking of jailhouse tattoos...
Idiot inmates tattooing their eye balls does not make for a trend, HipHop Wired!
In 2007, Modblog first wrote about the eyeball tattooing of three bod mod practitioners. The post began with this caveat: "Warning: This entry documents a highly experimental procedure that should not be emulated." It also stated that it was extensively researched and meant as an experiment. Afterward, mainstream media called eyeball tattooing a "dangerous trend" even though there were no reports of others doing it. This is the first report since then. It raises the question whether these inmates were inspired by the Modblog post or decided to do it on their own without any information (the former was an argument against publishing the procedure). Of course, there's the question of whether we will see more extreme forms of the art and legitimize the trend label now that tattooing losing its badass stigma. As for trends, I'd rather see MC Hammer pants come back in style.
In tattoo law news ...
On New Year's day, a new tattoo law in Iowa went into effect that requires tattoo studios and artists to keep records on every client they tattoo for at least three years. Specifically, shops & artists must record every client's name, birth date, photocopy of his or her driver's license or birth certificate, date of the procedure, artist's name and client's signature.The question raised here: Is it a burden to the artists and violation of the client's privacy, or is it a measure to protect artists from potential suits? Considering that the tattoo design is not part of the record requirement -- police have indeed used tattoo records against accused -- I believe the law does greater good than harm, especially in light of the increasing law suits and criminal investigations against studios for tattooing minors. By copying the drivers license, studios can instantly prove that they checked ID (they're not asked to decipher whether an ID is fake). This is a deterrent to minors seeking a tattoo but also lawsuits from angry parents. As many, if not most, professional studios keep records, the burden seems to be minimal. Do you think the law is fair? Feel free to add your thoughts to the comments section.
And while we're on the law, I wanted to point out again that local bans against studios still exist even if state law permits them, but city councils are finally coming around across the US and re-examining their bans like in Jefferson City, MO. I'll say it again and again, the best way to combat tattoo bans and heavy handed laws is to vote for the right council people or run yourself.
In "this is a bad idea" news ...
In Chicago, a mom opens up a tattoo school in memory of her dead son. Whatever the motivation, I still think these tattoo schools are a bad idea, especially under a women who says things like this: "Baron said students need not worry about possessing artistic skills, " and remarks that apprenticeships can cost up to $10,000. Anyone hear of that? One of her greatest lessons should be how to deal with the taunting and laughter from studios once students try to find work with their "tattoo degree."
In this profile on Doug Phillips of Torture Chamber Tattoos in central NY, the best argument against tattoo schools is offered by Mike Hynes
[Correction: Bill Pogue at "The World's Only Tattoo School" in LA apprenticed Phillips. See the comments for further clarification.]
Mark Moford of the SF Chronicle agrees with Phillips in his essay on young tattoo collectors and their bad choices:
"...I couldn't help but look down and realize she had something inscribed high up on the back of her neck, just beneath the hairline.
Yes, something must be done.
In dirty but maybe not so quick links ...
phew. I'm done.
Tattoo by Swastika Freakshop
After spending most of last week at my Ohm-tastic yoga retreat, I came back feelin goooood, and so I promise a zen like news review, free of blogger snark but full of tattoo goodness.
To prove my tantric love, I wont even mock Miami Heat's Michael Beasley's new "Super Cool Beas" tattoo (and ganja love), nor say things like the Kat Von D concealer for Sephora "looks like an amazing product. If you like eczema." I'm too full of peace and oneness for that even if it does prove what I said about my own trial of the concealer (noted here).
So let's get on with the love fest ...
Check this 7x7 interview with Shawn Barber, where the painter and tattooist discusses his own love of the craft:
"Tattooing gives so much more than it takes. It allows an individual to acknowledge life with permanent markers. Getting tattooed is a leap of faith that reminds you of that exact time and place for the rest of your life."
This past weekend, Shawn was one of the many great artists working the Tattoo Hollywood Convention in LA, reported on by Modblog here and here.
Other conventions covered this weekend were Rhode Island's Rock the Ink, and the Alberta tattoo convention, where Lucky Diamond Rich -- the world's most tattooed person shown below -- stole the show.
Only more beautifully freaky than Lucky is this news item: "A man with a tattoo of Britney Spears' name on his arm or neck allegedly stole a Chihuahua with pink earrings from a South Florida gay bar." I'll just leave it at that, thank you.
But please explain why people with distinguishing tattoos continue to commit crimes. [Indeed, a Hitler tattoo will be used in a hate-crime trial.]
In Russia, however, hate symbols like the Nazi swastika, can be ordered removed on offenders. I disagree, if only because I like to know what kinda haters I'm dealing with. Tattoos can be a great personal filter for people you meet in life.
[Tattoos will also give you away if you try to have sex with your twin's girlfriend.]
For those who want a fresh star, British Columbia's Gang Task force will remove affiliate tattoos, but only for gang intel. The comments are particularly interesting. [Thanks, Brayden!]
Thankfully, some bod mod over-achievers were celebrated in the news this week: pierced and tattooed Olympians.
And finally, the bonus quiz: Guess the celebrity tattoos.
That's it this week. Namaste, friends.
Abstract Tattoo by Amanda Wachob of DareDevil Tattoo.
I got some private messages last week admitting a forbidden love for the truly WTF tattoo galleries linked to in the news review, so before I get to the real newsworthy items, I'll satisfy more guilty pleasures with this first one:
It's a fun photo essay that includes Joe Letz's flying penis tattoo on his leg, the Hawaiian shark teeth on Brent Hind's face, and Jeffree Star's JonBenet Ramsey & Sharon Tate portraits.
To cleanse that frightening bunch outta ya mind, check out the exciting tattoo artistry of Amanda Wachob of DareDevil Tattoo, who experiments with abstract forms and conceptual design but can also do a solid, clean traditional tattoo. I met Amanda at our launch party Friday and she told me about an abstract tattoo project she's working on -- also mentioned on DevilCity Press -- where 8-10 people will be chosen to get a large tattoo, free. More details on that coming up later this week.
Amanda's conceptual art got me thinking of the lines and dots found on the oldest recorded tattooed person: Otzi the Iceman; however, a recent news item discusses how his tattoos have proved to be medicinal, not aesthetic. The article explains:
"There are groups of one, two, three, four and seven tattoo lines parallel to the longitudinal axis of the body, and so they're parallel to Chinese acupuncture meridians." The cross-shaped tattoo on his knee, and another one on his left ankle, also lay over Chinese acupuncture "trigger points," the researchers believe. Strengthening their argument is the fact that the soot-made markings are located on parts of the iceman's body not typical for tattoo displays, diminishing the notion that they served a more ornamental, aesthetic function.See a video on how the first tattoos were created.
Despite the millennia of tattoo history, many still think it's an unsavory fad. Here's yet another weekly news item on tattoo discrimination -- this time, an Ohio town does not think tattoos are a "fit."
But this prejudice is not so surprising after also reading weekly stories of idiots who use the art as a gimmick like this guy who got a tattoo to win a PalmPre phone. Of course, with the cost of the tattoo (and subsequent lasering I'm sure), he coulda just bought the PalmPre and been spared our mockery. Mock, mock, mock.
Some may also mock this dude above who proposed marriage -- permanently -- but today I'm feelin the love and just grateful that Caroline said "Yes." Now, let's hope the marriage lasts.
Cleveland.com has a new feature called Tat Chat where they "celebrate body art" and "find folks with interesting tattoos and the often even more interesting stories behind them."
My favorite blog find this past week, however, was Coolhunting.com post on Carlos Alvarez Montero, and his photographs of the counterculure in NYC and Mexico City -- particularly the heavily tattooed.
Quick & Dirty Link time...
The tattoo news this week was all about celebs, conventions, and a little bit of controversy, and to highlight these top stories, I'm posting this photo of Andy shot by Sean Toussaint at Parkside Lounge for my upcoming tattoo book. Andy's tribal lotus tattoo is by Shinji of NY Adorned. Granted, there is no real connection, but considering that my Inbox has been flooded with "check the hot tattooed chicks" emails this week, I felt compelled to respond in kind. In fact, if you're a tattooed man who would like to be objectified by my girls and gays on this blog, please send your photo to marisa at needlesandsins.com.
Ok, unto the news ...
A Georgia man, who forcibly tattooed his 3-year-old son in their trailer home now faces criminal charges of cruelty to children and tattooing a person under the age of 18. The tattoo is letters DB for Daddy's Boy. This guy should find the same fate in jail, Darrell's Bitch perhaps.
The controversy lies in the response to the story on the Atlanta Journal Sentinel blog, asking Is tattooing a child worse than piercing a baby's ears or circumcising a newborn boy?
"Are tattoos more painful than piercing or circumcision? Not sure that's true.
While there are some obvious responses -- like piercing not having the permanence of tattoos -- the issue does reignite online debates particularly over circumcision. Some of the comments to that post thoughtfully discuss the topic but, alas, most do not. Feel free to share your thoughts below.
In more pleasant conversation, conventions were big news ...
Columbus media was abuzz with stories on the Hell City show this past weekend, especially Columbus Alive, which devoted much of its pages, online and off to the show. Behold the awesome cover of organizer and tattooist Durb Morrison (shown right) and profiled inside as one of their many "Inked Up" features. Also check the audio slideshow.
The Columbus Dispatch reported on the convention's tattoo competitions, calling them a "grittier version of a beauty pageant." Nice ink coverage, media & tattoos. [Stop that eye rolling!]
More coverage for the NYC Tattoo convention, with Fangoria sharing their experience and photos. [Fangoria's Weekend of Horrors comes to NYC"s Jacob Javits Center next Weekend.]
A small convention in upstate NY, the Mowhawk Valley Tattoo Expo, got coverage as well.
In celeb tattoo news ...
HuffPo is excited over Angelina's small embellishment of her existing tattoos, essentially a small frame of the coordinates of her babies' birthplaces.
We do love our Angie, but Megan Fox may be stealing our affections with the latest news of her wanting to get sleeved:
"Every time I get a tattoo, it's a little f***-you to anyone who tells me not to. I like the way getting a tattoo feels."Megan graces the June cover of Elle mag, and as The Insider shows, there's the hot back tattoo-baring cover and the more demure one where her Marilyn Monroe portrait on her arm is covered by text. I found the tattooed one at my local Brooklyn press shop. Which is one is your store carrying?
Ah, nice to write about celebrity tattoos without the overwhelming desire to hurt myself. I do so want to see a fully sleeved leading lady. No matter how vapid the news surrounding the latest A-List ink, the impact on how our society views tattoos is greatly affected by celebrity culture. A culture that has sparked many a tattoo as well.
Then there's tattoos in the "luxury market," like Coach's recent attempt to cash in. A massive FAIL in design but always interesting to me how a lowbrow art is being used to hawk highbrow goods.
To meet the new clientele inspired by these changes, tattoo studios themselves are changing. The LA Times looks at the high-end tattoo ateliers setting up shop in Las Vegas casinos. Check the slideshow here.
Am I depressing y'all with all this?
I remain on the fence, embracing the evolution of the art but also but also fondly looking back at my first tattoos, pre-legalization in NYC, where just finding the studio was an adventure in itself.
And while I find myself trippin down memory lane, I'll leave you with some quick and dirty links:

Pamela Kleibrink Thompson begins 2010 by providing four invaluable steps in recalling names during networking.
"A person's name is to him or her the sweetest and most important sound in any language."
-- Dale Carnegie
I've written a lot about networking and how important it is. But making connections and building relationships is hard to do when you can't remember someone's name. Remembering names opens the door to successful relationships.
My 13-year-old daughter worked as a Sky ranger last summer at Soaring Colorado, a zip-line attraction near Durango (http://www.soaringcolorado.com). She had to learn and remember at least 30 new names every day. Every time she had contact with someone she used his or her name. Guests at Soaring Colorado are always amazed and impressed that the Sky Rangers can do this. It also makes the guests feel that they have not just had an adventure, but made some friends.
Improve your ability to remember names by following these four steps, which spell out the acronym Clue: C ommit, L isten, U se it, E mbed a link
1. Commit: The first step to remembering people's names is to commit to it. If it's important to you, you'll be able to do it. And if remembering other people's names is not important to you, why should remembering your name be important to them?
2. Listen with focus: Listen to the person's name. If you find a few moments later that you've already forgotten it, say, "I missed your name. Can you give it to me again?" If you still have trouble with it, say, "Would you spell that out for me?"
Often when we meet someone we may think we may never see him again and so we don't invest the effort to memorize the name. Pay attention when someone introduces himself. Make eye contact and make a connection with the person.Take the time and make the effort to remember someone's name when you meet him. Treat him as if he is the most important person in the world during that first conversation and it will be easier for you to remember him if you see him again.
3. Use it: When you hear someone's name use it soon as possible in conversation. Repetition helps engrave the name in your memory. Say the name quietly to yourself a few times.
Say it out loud. Add it to the beginning or ending of your greeting to that person: "It's a pleasure to meet you, Holly" or "Tunde, how nice to meet you."
Associate the name with something someone tells you about himself or herself. To help you remember, introduce him or her to someone else right away using the association. Repeating it out loud, "Jan, the marketing diva," or "Susie, the pastry chef," makes it more real and memorable.
Don't tax your memory. Write notes to yourself at the time or later.
When you get a business card, honor the person like the Asians do by studying his card for a moment. This will also help you create a visual to remember the person's name. Write on the back of the business card. (Don't write on the front of someone's business card. In some cultures it's perceived as defacing their person!)
* Use the name immediately.* Repeat it silently to yourself.* Comment on the name.* Use it occasionally in the conversation without overdoing it.* Use it when leaving. "I've enjoyed speaking with you Paul."* Write it down afterwards.
4. Embed a link with the name: It's hard to learn names by simply hearing them. Our memory works better when images, action and emotion are involved.
Concentrate on forming a clear, detailed impression of the person. Use all your senses to observe people's physical characteristics. The more vivid the impression, the more likely you are to remember them.
Find some clever way to remember a name by associating it with something unique about the person. Here are some ways to embed a link with the name.
Use mnemonic devices or alliteration to help you remember names: Hugo from Hollywood, Kyle who goes the extra mile. Remembering names can be as simple as ABC. When my father-in-law Rex Thompson tried to recall someone's name, he would travel through the alphabet until he remembered the letter the name started with. You could often hear him quietly saying, "A...B... C..."
Create a mind picture that will help the name stick in your mind.
Imagine Graham eating graham crackers.
Picture Jack's smiling face springing out of a Jack-in the box toy.
See Bill paying his bills.
Associating the person's name with an exaggerated, personal or funny image will make it easier to remember.
Try to make an association between the person's face and an image the name suggests. Can you picture a giant peach on the top of Ben Peachey's head?
Today I met a woman named Carol who was wearing a Christmas sweater. I remembered her name by associating her holiday sweater with singing Christmas carols.
Associate the name with a color. I met a girl at a cookie exchange party who had blonde hair. Her name was Amber. I could associate her amber colored hair with her name.
If Robin is wearing a red shirt you can remember his name by associating the color and a phrase -- Robin red breast.
If you are more attuned to sounds, find a quick rhyme for someone's name.
Scuba instructor Dave Brown won't let anyone drown.Claire has pretty hair.Drew is his nephew.Gary is married to Mary.Randy is handy.
Or link the name to a song lyric--Hey Jude (Beatle's tune).
Or link the name to a well known phrase.
Dawn of a new day.No ordinary Joe.Mark my words.
Find out something about the person that can help you remember his name. Perhaps you can associate the name with a profession or hobby.
Lance is a freelance writer.Gregg Greene plays golf and likes to be on the green.
If you are more responsive to sensory feelings, try linking the name to the impression the person makes or to a reaction you have to the person.
Fred looks like he just got out of bed.Lou might have had a few.Bruce Eisenberg leaves me cold.Duane is a pain.Diedre dominates the dialog.Fran Frendt is friendly.
It's tough to build a relationship with someone if you don't know his name. You can't refer him to a job or recommend him to someone. So learn the names of the people you meet.
Everyone wants to feel special. One of the best ways to make people feel important is to remember their name. When you refer to someone by his name you are honoring him with respect. Remembering peoples' names is more than just good manners; it's good business.
Now you have a clue about how to remember names– commit, listen, use it and embed a link. When you make the effort and make an association with the name, you'll be able to remember it.
Pamela Kleibrink Thompson admits she often has trouble remembering names so never hesitate to reintroduce yourself. She'll be presenting her Career Strategies Workshop on Feb.11 and 12 at Savannah College of Art and Design. You can reach her for recruiting, speaking engagements, or career coaching at firstname.lastname@example.com.

The 11th hour, of the 11th day of the 11th month, a day known for the end of World War I, and also the day we celebrate our veterans.
For Veterans' Day, veterans gathered at the Greenville Town Commmon for a parade and ceremony Saturday morning. A number of area high school JROTC programs took part as well as a color guard and some local veterans groups. But of course the main goal was to recognize those who have fought for our country, and to thank those who supported them.
Some local dignitaries were also on hand to show their appreciation on Veterans' Day as well.

In a rare, exclusive interview, Ridley Scott gives a glimpse into his leap to digital acquisition and how RED has changed the way he shoots his movies. Once a self-proclaimed "film man," Ridley discovered that he could acquire images that met a sharpness and clarity he had always sought when he chose RED cameras to shoot his latest feature, Prometheus. Since wrapping Prometheus, Ridley Scott has served as a producer on Loom -- a short film directed by Luke Scott and shot on RED EPIC -- which premiered at NAB 2012 at the RED booth.

Inspecting The Sensor
We have a complete web site devoted to covering this subject www.sensorinspection.com, I will include a summary here.
Using a sensor inspection device over having to shoot test images and inspect, will save you an enormous amount of time when cleaning your D-SLR Sensor. If you don't have one yet, I highly recommend that you go out and buy one now, you won't regret it.
The original method of shooting a test image is very time consuming, taking 3-15 minutes for each inspection. Lets take a look at the original method.
- Take your camera out of it's cleaning mode
- Re-attach the lens
- Re-insert the media
- Set the camera settings for shooting shoot a test image
- Shoot the test image
- Pull the media out of the camera
- Insert the media into your computer
- Open the file just shot with PhotoShop
- Change the settings of the image (levels) with Photoshop to be able to see the dust spots
- Remove the lens from the camera
- Put the camera in it's cleaning mode
- Now clean (hopefully you remembered that the image in Photoshop is vertically flipped from when you are looking at your sensor).
Now we do it with the sensor inspection device.
- Pick it up and turn the lamp on
- Place it over the lens mount and look at the sensor
Yes there is a BIG difference in time, 5 seconds versus 3-15 minutes. Don't forget that you will more then likely have to do this many times over during just 1 cleaning session. The sensor inspection devices also give you the freedom to be able to clean your sensor on location without having a computer. Inspecting your sensor after any cleaning is a requirement if you want to ensure dust free photography.
How To Create A Test Image
To Check For Dust
To make a test image, you can use about any lens you want but a non-wide angle lens works better then a wide angle just because of the normal falloff found in most wide angle lenses. You want as much of an even exposure as possible from corner to center. The second consideration is minimum aperture opening; we suggest a lens that will stop down to f/22 or greater. We have found that a great subject to shoot for the test, is your monitor. Seeing that you already have to use a computer to view your test, there is no need to go elsewhere to make the test. You already have a willing and qualified subject right in front of you, why not use it. Prepare your monitor for shooting the test:
- Create a new image in Photoshop
- Fill it with white (most any solid color will do, but we prefer a lighter one)
- Set the camera to the following:
- Mode - Aperture Priority
- Setting - Aperture to minimum f/22-f/45
- Lens - Manual Focus set to closest focus setting (if shooting the blue sky, then infinity)
- Features - Turn "OFF" all special function like "sharpening"
- Zoom in until it fills your screen
- Take Picture - shoot camera facing your monitor. Depending how bright your monitor is, your exposure may be a couple seconds. During this exposure, move your camera back and fourth being careful to not to point the lens outside of your white box. Moving the camera during the exposure insures that you are not taking a picture of dirt on your monitor. This should be done within a matter of an inch or two from your monitor.
- Photoshop - Take the image into Photoshop and do a "<CTRL><SHIFT>L" for "auto level" You can lighten or darken if needed.
- Inspect Image - You can now see where you do or do not have dust. Remember that what you are looking at is an image that is flipped 180° vertically (top to bottom) from when you're looking straight in on your sensor. What shows on the bottom of the image will be towards the top of the camera and visa versa...

Craft beer makers expanding and trying new ventures
Modern Times Beer raised on Kickstarter for construction of its brewery
For signs of San Diego craft beer's vitality, visit a brewery — almost any brewery.
Alpine Beer may soon more than quadruple its production, by outsourcing the brewing of three popular ales to a brewery in Cold Spring, Minn. Ballast Point is opening a small research and development brewery in Little Italy. Escondido's Stone, already selling its beer in 37 states, will invade Puerto Rico on May 13. And Modern Times concluded a record-setting Kickstarter campaign last week, accepting more than $65,471 in donations for construction of Jacob McKean's brewery-in-the-making.
Of these developments, Alpine's is the most speculative. "I don't have a signed contract yet," owner/brewer Pat McIlhenney said, "but we're just about there."
The deal would mean that Alpine, now making about 1,500 barrels of beer a year, would make an additional 5,000 barrels in Minnesota. Cold Spring Brewery, best known for its own John Henry Three Lick Spiker Ale, has spent decades making beers for other brewers. For instance: Billy Beer, a beverage named for President Jimmy Carter's younger brother.
By fall, McIlhenney predicted, Cold Spring will start brewing 2,000 barrels of Nelson IPA, 2,000 barrels of Duet IPA and 1,000 barrels of Hoppy Birthday.
While McIlhenney plans to expand his home operation in Alpine, that project's cost has risen from an earlier estimate of $3 million to $4.5 million. "By making beer in Minnesota, we're trying to raise enough capital to expand here," he said
Closer to home, Ballast Point will install brewing equipment in a 9,000-square-foot building at the corner of India and Ivy streets this month. "We'll be making 15 to 20 beers a month there," said Colby Chandler, Ballast Point's specialty brewer and director of research and development. "Completely on draft — we have no plans to bottle there."
He estimated the experimental brewhouse will open before year's end, serving adventurous customers unique beers and food.
Stone has something to celebrate. As of May 13, the county's largest brewery will be selling its nine year-round beers in 37 states, one territory (Puerto Rico), one district (D.C.) and five foreign countries.
