Oklahoma Inc.: No. 7 — Alliance Holdings capitalizes on coal
TULSA — Coal may be the country's most unpopular fuel source, but that doesn't appear to be hampering Alliance Holdings GP LP.
Alliance is a regular among the state's top companies.
This year, the holding company that owns coal company Alliance Resource Partners LP's assets ranked No. 7 on the Oklahoma Inc. list, buoyed by a 62.5 percent increase in total returns.
CEO Joseph W. Craft III said coal remains an important resource in the U.S., despite regulations seemingly meant to curb its use.
"Low-cost energy has been the driver of the U.S. economy," he said Oct. 9 at the Governor's Energy Conference in Tulsa. "We're seeing that today all across the globe."
He said cheap coal is one of the reasons Oklahoma has the fifth-lowest retail electricity price in the United States.
Craft said coal production is expected to reach about 1 billion tons in the United States this year, with about 90 percent of that to be used domestically.
Alliance is the sixth-largest coal producer in the nation, with a footprint primarily in the eastern U.S.
He said domestic utility companies are Alliance's primary customer, noting coal is responsible for about 40 percent of the country's electric generation.
The U.S. Energy Information Administration projects coal still will account for about 37 percent of the country's electricity in 2035, so Craft remains optimistic about coal's future.
He said he expects coal to remain a significant part of the country's energy mix, despite becoming a partisan issue in Washington, D.C.
"Coal will continue to be competitive, primarily because it is a low-cost fuel," Craft said.
Alliance has about 4,000 employees, including 100 at its Tulsa headquarters. Craft said it adds about 400 or so a year as production increases.
In July, Alliance reported record coal production for the first half of 2013, with revenues topping $1.1 billion.
The company expects to produce nearly 40 million tons of coal this year, while revenues could climb as high as $2.25 billion, despite lower coal prices, Chief Financial Officer Brian Cantrell said in Alliance's July 26 earnings call.
Craft said Alliance is on track for its 13th consecutive year of record results.
The holding company has announced distributions 12.5 percent higher than 2012, he said during the July earnings call.

10/23/2013 (2 years ago)
Catholic Online (www.catholic.org)
Megan Lynn Young of the Philippines has been crowned the new Miss World. The daughter of an American father and Filipino mother, the 23-year-old Young was originally raised in the U.S. She's generated some controversy with her traditional values. She's opposed to abortion, sex before marriage and divorce - and is unafraid to speak her mind.
Crowned Miss World 2013 at the Miss World Pageant in Bali, Indonesia, Young told interviewers that the way to avoid unwanted sex is to "just say no."

LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - Crowned Miss World 2013 at the Miss World Pageant in Bali, Indonesia, Young told interviewers that the way to avoid unwanted sex is to "just say no."
In an interview on the Filipino news show, ANC Headstart, host Karen Davila asked Young last week about a controversial reproductive health law currently in limbo in the courts in the Philippines and related topics. "When it comes to the RH law, are you pro- or anti-RH?" Davila asked.
"Well, I'm pro-life and if it means killing someone that's already there, then I'm against that, of course. I'm against abortion," Young said.
As to contraception, Young said, "I don't engage in stuff like that as of now. I think that's - uh, sex is for marriage. That's my belief. So, when it comes to the RH bill, as long as my beliefs are no abortion; it should be with your partner for life. Then that's my stand."
Queried about divorce, young said "Divorce. I'm actually against divorce, because I've seen, of course, that in my family. So I think that if you marry someone, that should be the person you should be with forever, through sickness and health, through good and bad, you should be with that person."
In a change of pace, Davila asked, "Now, a woman as gorgeous as yourself, how do you say no to sex?"
"You just say no," Young replied. "If they try to push you, then you step away because you know that that person doesn't value you, doesn't value the relationship as much - and if the guy is willing, you know, to sacrifice that, then that means a lot."
Passed and signed into law since 2012, the Responsible Parenthood and Reproductive Health Act has faced legal challenges to its mandates on controversial products and services. As sterilization, contraception, and abortion-inducing drugs are all part of the act, the Supreme Court there delayed implementation of the law in early 2013 and re-emphasized the delay in August.

Sushi from the Ashes
2640 Lyndale Ave. S., Mpls.; 871-4055
Melissa Hanson knows exactly what she wants out of life. "Tako, Mommy," she pleads, "tako, tako," as her mom, Carol Weston Hanson, tries to conduct a morning phone interview. When Weston Hanson insists that she wait and play quietly, Melissa retreats, but I can still hear her little bell of a voice as she plays in the restaurant: "Tako! Tako! Tahhh-kohhh!" And I'd bet the farm that she's the only 4-year-old in town devoting her morning to the urgent pursuit of octopus tentacles.
The Fuji-Ya on Lyndale is the newest incarnation of the pioneering Twin Cities restaurant first opened in 1959 by Weston Hanson's mother, Reiko Weston, and her parents, Japanese immigrants Kaoru and Nobuko Umetani. That first restaurant seated only 25 people, in a basement on LaSalle near Eighth Street. Surprising everyone involved, Eisenhower-era Minneapolis turned out to be primed for Japanese food, and the little place took off, requiring all members of the family to pitch in with running it and ultimately prompting a move to a giant, 400-seat space on the west bank of the Mississippi near the Stone Arch Bridge. Fuji-Ya even spawned a St. Paul branch, Fuji 2.
Carol Weston Hanson was raised in those Fuji-Ya's, helping out in every part of the restaurant, munching tempura as an after-school snack, being sung to sleep at night by her grandfather, Kaoru, a former rear admiral in the Japanese Navy. But in 1988, at the same time Fuji-Ya was being forced from its downtown location, Reiko Weston died, and Carol, still in college, had to shut down the restaurant.
Now, phoenixlike, Fuji-Ya lives again, opened last winter by Carol Weston Hanson in an elegant, sand-colored space on Lyndale Avenue. "So many, many people walk in the door and the first words out of their mouths are 'I remember when...'" says Weston Hanson. Some even come in carrying a piece of origami made by her grandfather, who died in 1963. "I wish I had a piece!" Weston Hanson laments.
Sitting in the airy room on Lyndale, listening to the trickle of a bamboo-and-stone fountain, gazing at the Zen-simple bare wood ornaments, you can feel the satisfaction of a family restored to its rightful environment. Unfortunately, the restaurant, so long on charm and heartwarming family tales, is decidedly lackluster when it comes to food and service.
My biggest problems were with the sushi. First, the servers on my visits didn't know anything about the food they were serving: I asked one what "maguro albacore" was and she took my menu and read me the translation. It said, "white tuna." No duh. (At home with my reference books I discovered that albacore is a small variety of tuna, which weighs from 10 to 60 pounds, has a pale flesh, and is usually known in sushi bars as shiro maguro. It tastes very mild, with a subdued mackerel-like flavor.)
When I asked a different server on another visit what made up the Regular ($15.95) versus Deluxe ($18.95) sushi platters, he replied that he didn't know and couldn't find out, because no one would tell him. The same man later presented the deep-fried shrimp heads that traditionally accompany ama ebi, sweet shrimp, saying "I don't know why they wanted me to give these to you." Then he made a disgusted face: "I guess you're supposed to eat them, but they've got eyes." Why, thanks, thanks so much.
Ask any server whether a particular fish is fresh that day--a customary question in sushi bars--and you'll always get the answer: "Everything's fresh every day." Which is patently untrue, and not even possible or expected, because of the precarious nature of fishing and airline schedules. On my visits some pieces of sushi arrived that were clearly past-prime: vaguely stinky, just barely slimy, the kind of thing that left a table full of sushi lovers appalled. Like most really annoying problems, this one is intermittent: One night my tuna sashimi ($7.50) was perfectly fresh and delicious; another it had clearly been frozen at a relatively high temperature and then thawed, a process that gives fish a grainy, unpleasant texture as ice crystals rupture the flesh. (I've read that fish can be frozen at subzero temperatures with no extreme ill effect to the taste, and that most fish is frozen directly after being caught, but this wasn't that.)
Even Fuji-Ya's cooked rolls seem ham-handed. My caterpillar roll ($8.95), in which paper-thin slices of avocado served as a shell to rice rolled around a core of unagi, cooked eel, was drenched with a thick, sweet sauce; on a different visit a salmon skin roll ($5.50), cooked salmon and watercress, fell apart when touched. However, on two occasions the California rolls ($5.50), crab meat and avocado wrapped in rice and topped with fish roe, were very good. I didn't try the tako ($3.95), but now I wish I had.
The problem with Fuji-Ya's sushi menu is that it's far too ambitious--45 items are on the permanent list--for what the restaurant is able to deliver. I think we would all be happier if they limited the list to cooked items or vegetable items, and offered the raw fish only as a daily special to reflect what's fresh.
As for the rest of the menu, it offers strictly pedestrian fare, like a distinctly undelicate sukiyaki ($13.50)--in which slices of unattractively fatty beef crowd a bowl along with rice noodles, tofu, a clump of enoki mushrooms, and a salty broth--along with Eisenhower-era Japanese specialties like chicken and steak teriyaki ($10.95 and $14.50). The best choices are the tempuras and the noodles. Fuji-Ya's tempuras are pale-battered and light, and come in generous piles. The shrimp tempura ($14.50) is tender and nonrubbery; the vegetable tempura ($10.75) includes treats such as slices of sweet potato and bunches of crisp and springy parsley.
The biggest bargains are the combination tempura-noodle dishes: You are served a bowl of noodle soup either with udon (wheat) or soba (buckwheat) noodles, accompanied by a generous side of tempura shrimp and various vegetables ($8.95), or just plain tempura vegetables ($7.95). In fact, noodles are one of Carol Weston Hanson's passions. She says she imports them from Chicago, trying to match the handmade-noodle shop she always visits around the corner from her grandmother's house in Tokyo.
When I told Weston Hanson about my disappointments with the service and sushi, she readily acknowledged the problems the restaurant has had, but insisted that Fuji-Ya is "a work in progress, and I hope that everybody can bear with us, because we're trying. There are days when everything seems like it's two steps forward and one step back, but I feel like every week things are starting to work a little better, look a little better, and taste a lot better." Her proudest achievement, Weston Hanson says, is having created a family-friendly venue with a children's menu featuring her own childhood favorites like skewers of yaki-tori, boneless pieces of chicken skewered, marinated, and broiled ($3.95).
It's true that the restaurant is a very pleasant place to pass time, and if Weston Hanson debuts the new menu she promises--full of original vegetarian options and bento boxes--and if she gets the service and sushi situations in hand, I could see this Fuji-Ya enduring until young Melissa founds her own restaurant. She certainly has the enthusiasm for it: By the time I ended my conversation with Weston Hanson, Minnesota's most ardent octopus fan had been given some trim ends from the cooler, and while Weston Hanson said "For me, this restaurant feels like I've come back home," delighted chirps of "Tako! Tako!" echoed behind her, emphasizing the point.
AQUAVIT IS COMING! Did you know Aquavit, New York City's preeminent Swedish restaurant, is opening a branch here? Well that's the old news. The new news? It's going into the north end of the ground floor of the IDS Center and construction has already started; the chef will be the New York Aquavit's current sous chef, Roger Johnsson; the restaurant will feature a fancy dining room, a café for casual dining, and a bar featuring 20 varieties of Aquavit (what else?) and a long list of vodkas and beers. Prices will be lower than the New York location (phew!); lunch and dinner will be served; free parking is promised; and the layout will feature not exactly an open kitchen, but a highly visible one. Diners wanting to get right up in the action will be able to reserve a chef's table in the kitchen for up to 10 people. That's all I can tell you so far, and after a conversation with velvet-voiced Aquavit owner Håkan Swahn, I couldn't be more charmed: "A lot of things have happened in Minneapolis in the restaurant scene in the last few years, and it's a very sophisticated community [purr, purr] that we will fit in with nicely."
But don't look for a lot of fanfare at the opening: Swahn promises it will be a low-publicity event. "One of my pet peeves is a restaurant that opens with a full house on day one. It only leads to disappointment and stress. We plan to build it up gradually. We may not even be open for both lunch and dinner at first. This will be a long-term project which is going to be there for many years. It's better to build it up slowly." Oh, and lutefisk? "That's the one thing we're not serving," said Swahn, and I could just hear him grimacing all the way from New York.
SPA COOKING: Ever walk into a small business and seen a sign that reads: "Fast, Cheap, or Done Right: Pick Two"? Well there's a parallel threesome in contemporary cooking: Low-Fat, Delicious, and Easily Made. Sue Kreitzman tries to nail all the holy three in her new Low Fat For Life Cookbook (DK Publishing, $24.95), with mixed results. Many of the recipes are preposterously time-consuming, and some are deceptive in one way or another--presuming minuscule serving sizes, insisting that you can "fry" things with a spray-bottled mix of seven parts water and one part oil, skimping on necessary ingredients: A vegetable stir-fry calls for two heads of cauliflower, four red peppers, and the flesh from four (!) black olives. It's Where's Waldo? for cooks. And yet, about a quarter of Kreitzman's 150-plus recipes actually do hit the elusive trinity, like the following dessert. It makes me hopeful for the future.
Strawberries in Lemon Balsamic Syrup
* 1/4 cup lemon juice
* 1 to 2 tablespoons sugar
* 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
* 2 pints strawberries, hulled and quartered
Put the lemon juice in a bowl. Add the sugar, stir, and let sit until the sugar has dissolved. Stir in the balsamic vinegar. Toss the strawberries in the mixture until thoroughly combined. Let sit, stirring occasionally, until the strawberries are bathed in a syrupy sauce. (The amount of sugar depends on the quality of the vinegar, so taste as you go.) Makes four servings containing 55 calories and 8 milligrams of sodium each.

We will be playing Fiasco: A game of powerful ambition and poor impulse control.
I look forward to being a heavy as good as Nick in a future game.
0 · June 25, 2013
After the fall of the lady Senator the commander's commanding officer called him on his drinking he went into rehab and finished out his pentagon career retiring as a Captain. He his wife and son (now secure) ended up at his retirement home in Boca Raton, Florida.
The representative came out smelling like a rose. First he found and exposed the link between the lady Senator and Vlad the spy. Eventually he became President of the US and had the secret service smuggling young Filipino Boys into him at the White House. What a fiasco!!
0 · June 25, 2013
My Naval commander, who got very wishy-washy over the attempt to bribe the representative for a job in the IRS, (After his drinking made the representative question if he actually saw anything back at Subic Bay) fell to the pressures of home and his failure to carry out his plot. A plot which was put into action in order to secure his sons (He has Downs Syndrome and will need help for the rest of his life) future. He became a sad drunk haunting the Capitol Mall with a brown paper bag containing Kentucky Whiskey. He became a pawn -- first being influenced by the Lady Senator to expose the Representative and his boy-love to the Justice department and then helping the Representative by saying she influenced the accusation. The witch hunt was the start of the end for her nibs.

It was certainly a fiasco for Bill and Nick. The lady Senator and her industrialist husband were both found to have separate ties to the same white Russian spy for the Soviets (All buried in the dossiers). He was forced to tank his proposal for the contract (ruining his company) and help the FBI get the dirt on Vladimir Potemkin. She tried to keep her involvement secret but was found out (by the Representative) and went off to prison for a long stay (Ending up bagging groceries and being recognized at least once a week). Her husband committed suicide when he found out that she was also being pumped for info by Vlad, though she seemed more willing and appeared to have a crush on the dapper Russian.

I had a great time as the Navy Pilot -- reduced to working in the pentagon because his drinking affected his nerves -- Trying to put the squeeze on a ex-pilot hero representative who had a thing for Filipino boys (Joey). Who was duking it out with a ruthless and cunning female Senator from Vermont over some security dossiers (Nick). Who was married to a defense contractor (Bill) who wanted to win a contract from the government for some all-weather air to air radar contract. My character was assessing the proposals for that contract.

It seemed as though everybody had a good time politicking in DC73, even though my character ended up committing suicide. That's the way it goes in Fiasco sometimes though. I really enjoyed the interaction between characters in this heavy roleplaying game. If we decide to play Fiasco again, I'll be there.

OK DC73 it is.

I vote for DC73. I played the suburbia setting that's in the book the other night and can't wait to play more
This game is probably my new favorite party game.
0 · June 8, 2013
I like pretty much any of them. I'll adjust to what is needed.
0 · June 8, 2013
Sorry about the delay guys, my senior project is kicking my backside a bit.
Here are a few options:
DC73 -- Cold War in the time of Nixon in Washington DC. Vietnam, Radicalization, Politics, Spies and Drugs, sounds like a fun place?
News Channel 6 -- The last place TV Station in a small US city. Think of the Mary Tyler Moore show with a seedy twist. The Zoo -- A zoo on it's last leg and the people trying to get by. Can the Zoo be saved or is a fiasco about to ensue?
Transatlantic -- It is 1932 and the passenger ship "Leviathan" is on it's maiden voyage through an Icy Ocean sailing from Portsmouth to New York. What could go wrong?
Horse Fever -- A day at the races. A peaceful bit of betting that could let you hit it rich. The sun is in the sky, the horses are at the gate and you have a hot tip. Nothing could go wrong. Back to the Old House -- Something went wrong that night in the Old House. Something you can't forget and you are drawn to it. What secret could be lurking?
0 · June 8, 2013
Fiasco is a GM-less game for 3-5 players, designed to be played in a few hours with six-sided dice and no preparation. Fiasco is inspired by cinematic tales of small time capers gone disastrously wrong - inspired by films like Blood Simple, Fargo, The Way of the Gun, Burn After Reading, and A Simple Plan.
I will go ahead and list some different playsets tonight -- So we can pick which one we want to do.

Rev your engines PHX: Secret Ubers on scene
Hey Phoenix! The heat is finally coming down, but Uber is in town to heat things up! As the 6th largest city in the US, Phoenix is home to some of the fastest growing companies in America. With big names like Lifelock and GoDaddy and super sleek co-working spots like Gangplank, CO+HOOTS and Seed Spot, the PHX Metro totally has the tech thing down. In the winter, golf legends flock to the hundreds of golf courses in the area to polish their game, and our spring training stadiums house many of the biggest names in Major League Baseball.
Oh, and we can't possibly forget to mention the epic pool of racing talent… Super stylish professional race car driver and former bachelorette contestant Arie Luyendyk Jr wanted to take a break from behind the wheel. We are always looking out for our PHX family, so when Arie pressed the Uber button, we quickly scooped him up in one of our black on black Suburbans.
So why the PHX Metro? Our stylish business professionals in Phoenix need to roll up to every meeting in style. People go on dates, it happens… Uber makes the difference in that date. Plus, we have some of the hottest nightlife and a lot of ground to cover. Uber wants to take the question out of how you will get home safely; whether it's from the clubs in Scottsdale, the bars on Mill Ave or a late-night flight from PHX Sky Harbor we've got your back. Over the next few weeks we will be fine-tuning our pricing and coverage during this super-secret data gathering stage.
So grab your two-way, download the Uber app and grab an Uber now!
We survive on your feedback, so please send us your thoughts to email@example.com, and follow us on Twitter @Uber_PHX to make sure you are kept in the loop on updates for official launch information!
Warning: Taking an Uber has been known to cause habit forming tendencies and is considered highly addictive.
Stay Cool,
TEAM @Uber_PHX

1. Hiding gold in all the unusual places
Yes, it's gotten so bad that people are burying gold in their backyards. Bloomberg reports on one Wisconsin man who advises: "Dig a hole in the ground four feet deep, pack gold and silver in a piece of plastic PVC pipe, seal it, and bury it." And he's not alone. Got a shovel I can borrow?
2. White hot? Yes, and silver is not – as top car color
We may be hoarding gold, but we no longer want silver – at least when it comes to cars. The top color of last year's models is now tied for second. "Twenty-one percent of 2011 model year cars around the world are white," USA Today reports. "Black and silver were tied for second place with 20 percent, with gray coming in next at 13 percent."
3. IRS ruling strikes fear in medical marijuana industry
Medical marijuana has become so mainstream, its distributors are trying to claim business deductions. But the IRS says: Stick it in your pipe and smoke it. "In a potentially crushing blow to the burgeoning medical marijuana industry, the IRS has ruled that dispensaries cannot deduct standard business expenses such as payroll, security or rent," MSNBC reports.

It's actually privately owned by Brookfield Office Properties, which has approximately 18 million square feet in Manhattan, including the World Financial Center."

I'm still at the completer not competer stage (Outlaw will be my 2nd) and I focus on- can I swim the distance?- can I bike the distance?
My 'training' will, I hope, get me to a level of fitness/ technique where I am sure/ can think that I can do this.
When you try your 1st OW session, take your time to get used to the wetsuit - don't expect to get it straight away. Also, try swimming with other people so you can get used to drafting & sighting.
But certainly don't worry yet about an event in July.
Outlaw still has a few places left & is significantly cheaper than the M dot branded events. Plenty of pirate support as well (although that isn't always a benefit).
I'm happy with a compromise of having piratey training tops rather than specific running vests - like several others above I'm happy doing running races in my monaco. However, that doesn't necessarily mean that we need to add more options to the annual order.
I've never ordered from the PSOF/ spreadshirt site (I probably should but just haven't got around to it) so that might be the answer but happy to accept that some of you know a lot more about this than I do.

DD wants an archery set for Christmas. She'll never want to shoot anything but a target, so we don't need an expensive hunting one, but I don't want a cheap toy either. Any recommendations on a good brand or brands I should stay away from? TIA!
Archery set for 7-8 year-old?
Comments (4)
I know it's a toy,,,but we have these and they are so awesome. Very sturdy. My kids love them

a wife and mom, trying to do it all. My cape is invisible though.
Depends on how old she is and what you're really looking for. If she has a future of doing this in HS as a sport or something, here's a good start. Bear is a High quality brand
just re read and saw the age. This would fit
If duct tape don't fix'r then you're not using enough duct tape
we got one over the weekend similar to the above from tjredline - brand is Bear or something. We also got a few bales of hay for the kids to shoot into It was about $30 at Sports Authority

US debt crisis: the Frankenstein of financial abuse?
Does the US have the Republicans to blame for the US debt crisis? This Arab News editorial seems to think so.
August 1, 2011 11:26 by Arab News
Watching the continuing dance on the brink in Washington from the edge of their seats, people around the world increasingly wonder if this is really America, the most powerful economy and nation on the planet.
How reckless and callous can the politicians in the land of the free be? While they count their brownie points and shamelessly pander to their forever-frothing-at-the-mouth gallery, the US economy teeters on the brink and the very future of the country has been put on the line.
The world wouldn't care two hoots if this had happened in any other country. But America isn't any other country. It not just happens to be the world's largest economy and its driving engine, it also owns the mighty dollar, the global reserve currency or the money in which the world does its business.
This is why the continuing standoff between President Barack Obama and the Republican-dominated Congress isn't merely a cause of domestic unhappiness. Uncle Sam's headache has become the heartache of the rest of the world.
How did America end up here? Frankly, this is a manufactured crisis by the increasingly irresponsible Republican politicians. They have taken their rhetoric against "big government" and "unnecessary taxes" by the so-called liberals of the left too far. The debt ceiling or the limit of America's borrowings should have been quietly raised, as it has routinely been done by Obama's numerous predecessors, including those from the GOP.
Why even Ronald Reagan, the poster boy of the Republicans and the US right, was no exception, having had to raise it several times during his eight years in office.
Instead, using their brute majority in the Congress and House of Representatives, the Republicans led by Speaker John Boehner have shot down the government proposal to raise the borrowing limit sparking this orchestrated crisis. On Saturday, the Republican-controlled House rejected the

Brilliant Beaters' Day At Wolseley Park Shooting Estate.
After months of scrambling through trees, bushes and hedgerow, wading through mud and ice cold puddles and attempting to control their dogs at every turn, it was finally time for the beaters' to take centre stage at Wolseley Park in Staffordshire. The forecast – cold, wet and windy. However, spirits were high, conversation was flowing and everyone was anticipating a successful day of shooting. Calm before the storm. With the meet and greet over and everyone introduced it was time for everyone to put on their wellies, rain coats and pick up their beating instruments of choice.

What's All This Then?
This site is edited by Coudal Partners, a design, advertising and interactive studio in Chicago, as an ongoing experiment in web publishing, design and commerce. [Next]
What's All This Then?
Thanks for visiting. If browsing around here while at work has had a negative effect on your productivity we're sorry but imagine what it's done to ours. [Hide]
Saturday Edition
This is our studio site. Among other things, we run two businesses:
Field Notes Brand and The Deck Network. Visit them please.
A few links about one of our favorite films. Here's Roger Ebert's 1979 review of Hall Ashby's Being There and the original script by Jerzy Kosinski and Robert C. Jones, which ends quite differently than the film. Michael Dare recounts how the magnificent ending of the film came about. What a story. Oh, and of course, please enjoy Peter Sellers and the "Rafael" end credits.
At Field Notes, we could never have reached Quarterly Edition #30 without our year-long subscribers. As a thank you, we've made a new special set and sent them out as a surprise. Everyone who has an active year-long subscription that includes our current Quarterly Edition, "Sweet Tooth" will get a bonus shipment containing a 2-pack featuring Commemorative Reprints of "Butcher Orange" and "Butcher Extra Blue," our very-first, sold-out and exceedingly-rare Quarterly Editions. Each 2-Pack has the subscriber's name printed on the belly band! You can get one personalized too, if you join the thousands of people who subscribe.
As you probably have noticed over the last fifteen years, we're a bit of obsessed with the films of Stanley Kubrick. Check out 2001 in 569 GIFs, including the one above, and find tons more stuff in our big, messy archive of Kubrickian links.
Here's Jim's presentation from the inaugural edition of Chicago Creative Mornings. Thanks to Tina, Mig, Gravity Tank and everyone who showed up.
"My first memory is of my father carrying a hammer into our bedrooms and smashing open our piggy banks on the night Roberto died."
Forty-three seasons ago, Roberto Clemente slashed a double into left-center field, recording his 3000th regular season career hit. That hit would turn out to be his last. The bat he used is the central object in Kevin Guilfoile's book, A Drive into the Gap, the first title from the publishing imprint of our Field Notes Brand. The book has garnered great reviews and is a story about baseball and memory, and fathers and sons. See a film, read an excerpt and buy a copy of A Drive into the Gap here.
The Morning News Tournament of Books has wrapped up for another year and we're happy to say our Field Notes Brand was the title sponsor of this literarypalooza again. From TMN: "In case you're new to all this, the ToB is an annual springtime event where a group of the best works of fiction from last year enter a March Madness-style battle royale. These novels are seeded and paired off in an NCAA Tournament-like bracket. For each pairing, one of our esteemed judges will read both novels and advance one, with a transparent explanation of how they made their decision."
Our seasonal release for spring is the candy-colored "Sweet Tooth" Edition. Please make a note of it.
"One climbs, one sees. One descends, one sees no longer, but one has seen." —Rene Daumal. Why did we do it? Because it is there. Or was anyhow. Presenting Above the Sun, a true story.
Our take on privacy, reader tracking and ad blocking from the perspective of our advertising network, The Deck.
Chicago may not always love you back, but your Chicago Field Notes Memo Books will always be there for you. There's no better place to keep track of italian beef joints, Blackhawks point streaks, neighborhood bars, Mayoral election calendars, and parking dibs. Available now in the Field Notes Brand Shop.
Since 2004, we have been doing our part to encourage acrimony and hard feelings at family gatherings. Face it, you'll probably fight about something at your holiday get-together, it might as well be something important, like whether or not you're in the two percent of the world's population that Albert Einstein purportedly claimed could solve this puzzle. So... Who Owns The Fish?

Wonderful, John and the Dons.
A terrific series from the Australian Film, Television and Radio School from the mid-90s, watching Directors of Photography recreating lighting setups from specific scenes in their films: Kodak Master Class Series.
Chicago Street Renumbering Document from 1909.
Local note, tangentially related to the last. When in Chicago it's easy to figure out which side of any street has even-numbered addresses and which has odd. Just remember the phrase "Indiana is odd." From pretty much where ever you are in the city, Indiana is to the East and South of you, and those are the sides with odd-numbered addresses. You're welcome.
Indiana Is Weird, by Criag Fehrman for 538.
Welcome to the middle of this post. Now, can I please have your email address? Give it to me.
The Passerby series, paintings by Steve Salo. Via INAG.
Just watched Wim Wenders' amazing Pina this week and was happy to find that Pina Bausch's Café Müller is available in its entirety.
A fun new music vid from Travis: 3 Miles High.
Vintage labels and tags.
Required listening: On the Media's episode marking the 400th anniversary of the Bard's death, or whoever he really was: "On Shakespeare."
A Chicago Sojourn on Louis Sullivan copies/homages throughout the city: "Sullivanesque Revisited."
So you know, every body in the solar system more than 200 miles wide. Via Cliff Pickover.
"It's not like I don't like people, I do. I just don't like swarms of them." Jack, a film by Grace Jackson. A beautiful portrait of a man, his cabin, and the woods. Here's the whole story.
"...sometimes, the harder that we try to be clear-headed, the deeper we are drawn into the fog." Who Will Debunk The Debunkers?, by Dan Engbar.
Ol' Walt had a pretty boss set-up.
For SD, BB, and MJ, Netflix has the sequel you wanted.
Trailer for Absolutely Fabulous.
There is no "Platonic typeface" for cars. Dashboard Type, by Steven Heller.
"When the song went to No 2 in the UK, my artist friends told me I was selling out, but just months later the term being used was 'crossing over.'" So you know, how Laurie Anderson made "O Superman."
"Now you go tell Rafael, that I ain't taking no jive from no Western Union messenger..." Related to Ashby, the scene under the end credits of Being There. Try not to smile.
Everything about CP hero Hal Ashby and his slice of the '70s America, The Last Detail.
So you know, MK2 is a moon of Makemake.
The Vault of VHS.
Related to the last, This Traveling Salesman doesn't have a problem, except that it's been sold out for a couple years.
I watched this cool Traveling Salesman Problem Visualization and I promised myself that I would not fall into a rabbit hole of links and resources. I broke that promise.
UQAM, smart exercises in industrial design.
The best part of the Twilight films on repeat, for five hours.
Microsculpture, super-detailed insect portraits by Levon Biss. Great mini-doc.
A small, animated tribute to iconic vehicles of the Soviet era, by Nickola Nickolov and Nikolay Ivanov. Via Quipsologies.
"...if you want to make something really great, you can't think about making it great for everyone. You have to make it great for someone." Your Media Business Will Not Be Saved, by Josh Topolsky. Amen.
Van Life. Not for me, but way better than these.
For 38 years, Philip Ashforth Coppola has been exploring the NYC's subway stations and sketching its mosaics in amazing detail with just a ballpoint pen. A film from GBS.
Audubon made up at least 28 fake species to prank a rival.
Thorough and insightful piece on the redesign of Ryanair's boarding pass system by Lynsey Duncan and Aonghus Davoren.
Milky Way in Moonlight.
Hiding in Plain Sight, the history of camouflage, by Josh Kramer. Via Things Mag.

Unfortunately Adam Arnold has said that Seven Seas will not be publishing any more light novels. I guess that there is some hope that he will change his mind in the future, but I doubt it.
I will be getting at least the first volume of all three of those manga. I really enjoyed the anime for all of them

Zero LNs would have been infinitely better than the anime, especially that ending.
But whats the deal, I thought Seven Seas licensed basically taboo type works, like BL and stuff like Kodomo no Jikan. These are three fairly normal licenses imo.

If you looked, you'd see that while Seven Seas did initially license Kodomo no Jikan, they quickly backtracked when they looked deeper into what the material contained. I'm not saying I agree with their decision, but I certainly understand it, seeing as people are hellbent on protecting fictional children. Also, what BL? Have you ever bought a Seven Seas title? If anything they're more known for bringing out yuri titles. And even then, not too many of those because as Alan45 said, they're out to make money, and for the most part yuri titles aren't big sellers.

I am having a hard time finding jeans for my dd who is three. She is tall and skinny. Right now- for waist size she can fit in 12m-24m waist (sometimes even a 24m is too big in certain brands still).
But the length needs to at least be a 3T length.
My boys were always in wranglers (slims) at this point. But I am having a hard time finding girls slims. Do they not make them or am I not looking at the right store!?
So what do you buy for your tall/skinny dd's?
