Zaba issues rallying call...

- Posted by @mccarthy_MCFC
Pablo Zabaleta says more unity is needed within City's ranks if they are to continue to challenge for the Premier League title.
According to the Manchester Evening News, the Argentina international has admitted this season has been a wakeup call for the reigning champions.
"The Blues find themselves 15 points behind their Red neighbours with nine games to go in the league season, meaning the title race is as good as over" writes Denise Evans.
"And Zabaleta, a firm favourite to be City's player of the season, has warned his team-mates they need greater mental strength and a more united front if they are to develop the kind of winning culture which their Old Trafford rivals have.
"The defender questions whether United have been that much better than City in terms of quality this season, claiming Sir Alex Ferguson's side have the healthy knack of picking up points even when they were not merited."
Meanwhile, Joe Hart has bemoaned the way in which England conceded an equaliser against Mentenegro last night.
The City stopper told Sky Sports News the Three Lions made life difficult for themselves in Podgorica.
"Roy Hodgson's men were held to a 1-1 draw after Wayne Rooney's early header was cancelled out late on and goalkeeper Joe Hart admits it came as a blow," the website reports.
Hart said: "First half, thoroughly in control; second half, we made it hard for ourselves and we had to dig deep."
It was a scrappy goal. I'd imagine they'll say it was coming but I think that was the only way they were going to score, with the ball bobbling around and someone being in the right place at the right time.
...Joe Hart...
Finally, ESPN calls Vincent Kompany's return to competitive action a 'big boost' for the Blues.
The skipper completed 90 minutes in Belgium's 1-0 victory over Macedonia in Brussels last night and is set to step out for City when Newcastle visit on Saturday.
"The City captain had not played for exactly two months since limping off in the FA Cup fourth round win over Stoke on January 26 and suffered several setbacks in his bid to return after a calf injury," reports Richard Jolly.
"Now Kompany is likely to take his place in the City defence when Newcastle visit the Etihad Stadium on Saturday.
"And there could be a double injury boost for manager Roberto Mancini if Sergio Aguero recovers from a knee problem to play."
Fingers crossed!

John McLaughlin: Zamfir
John McLaughlin (acoustic guitar)
Belo Horizonte (Warner Bros. 2292 57001-2)
John McLaughlin (acoustic guitar), Katia Labeque (keyboards),
Francois Jeanneau (sax), Francois Couturier (keyboards), Jean Paul Celea (bass), Tommy Campbell (drums), Jean Pierre Drouet, Steve Sheman (percussion).
Composed by John McLaughlin.
Recorded: Paris, France, June 1981
Rating: 92/100 (learn more)
This band, casually known as The Translators, is perhaps the most unsung of John McLaughlin's groups. After he switched record labels from Columbia to Warner Bros. in 1980, Belo Horizonte was his first release. The attendant advertising campaign implied that, despite McLaughlin playing acoustic guitar, the band was more electric than it really was. Of course that did not affect the musical quality, but I wonder how effective the campaign was, since this beautiful album failed to register on any scale or chart I was aware of. It seemed to appear and disappear overnight. Time has passed, and its brilliance is now acknowledged by many McLaughlin fans and guitar aficionados.
A sophisticated European jazz elegance permeates this album. The understated lush ballad "Zamfir" exemplifies that elegance. A short lyrical introduction is presented. McLaughlin and keyboardist Francois Couturier provide the gentle backdrop for the lovely bass of Jean Paul Celea. It is masterful playing of a touching theme. A slow, almost samba-like jazz swing takes over, mostly courtesy of drummer Tommy Campbell. McLaughlin now solos in the center channel. The melody is based on a few simple notes that he exploits to their limits. What a beautiful harmonious sound. At the time, McLaughlin gave several interviews about his new direction. He said he wanted to show the beauty of the acoustic guitar. In his long career, McLaughlin has put out many great acoustic-guitar albums. Musically, some are better than and some not as good as Belo Horizonte. But for the pure beauty of what an acoustic guitar can sound like, nothing matches this album. "Zamfir" is further proof that the best sounds on this earth are the most natural.

By Odeisel
Where were you when you first heard Reasonable Doubt? I'm talking to those whose CD's have Mr. Freeze records on it, not Def Jam. Those without the rose colored lenses, who didn't catch on after the fact. Do you remember what stood out about that album? It wasn't the lyrics, although they were there in abundance. It wasn't the beats, although he was laced quite nicely. It was the truth; the honesty. It was immediate. If you were hustling, or even if you were pushing for a breakthrough, there was an urgency to Reasonable Doubt. The burden of the hustle. The reality of it. Inevitable. Inescapable.
We don't often hear that urgency in Hip-Hop anymore. Everything is laid back or for the club. Music to ride to. Some of that is regional dominance and car culture. Much of it however, is the mentality of the current state of mainstream Hip-Hop. Everyone projects fantasy or hyper cinematic reality. The weight of real life is almost too immense to lyrically carry; the truth too hard to convey.
Every so often, an emcee comes around that is capable of transmitting that urgency. One who is strong enough to battle the beats and intelligent enough to carry the streets without appealing to the lowest common denominator. Last night, I had the pleasure of hearing an album by such an emcee. His name is Skyzoo, and he may have a bomb on his hands.
The album begins with "The Opener" which features street corner singers belting themes of salvation; appropriate since the music is Sky's way out of a life surrounded by a hood that takes men under. Keys and strings combine for musical melancholy and slowly segue into the boom-bap. This song is dense; layered like lyrical lasagna. It feels like his entire life was building to this moment.
Just Blaze clocks in with "Return of the Real." This song is very loud, but in a good way. It feels like a winter night coming home from the club at 4 AM with the music blasting on high to keep you awake because it's late and you got the heat on. The beat is full of noise and panic and Skyzoo is smart enough to go where the beat takes him. A beat like this allows an emcee to be Trent Dilfer: don't turn the ball over and the defense will win the game.
9th Wonder does his best Primo impression on "The Beautiful Decay." You can hear his reverence for those classic 90's albums, particularly the aforementioned OB4CL.
The bottom-heavy Best Kept Secret-produced "My Interpretation" has a lot of gravity to it. It's big enough to knock in the whip with enough elements to sound really interesting in your headphones. Skyzoo showcases a great pacing ability. He never overdoes it, yet never sounds like he isn't up for the moment. After you rock to this beat you go back and digest what he has to say.
The Knotz-produced "Popularity" is really funky and will probably end up as the lead single. Skyzoo flows effortlessly with the proper amount of arrogance and hubris for a song thusly entitled. "I throw words off the hips like Akeelah & them. " Flat out bodybags on this track.
9th Wonder returns with "Marathon," a barebones track which allows Skyzoo the freedom to get busy. By now you can see that the album alternates between the emcee and the music, with some songs showcasing either his blackout skills, or his ability to tame the beats. This song in particular reminded me of Reasonable Doubt because it hints at a slickness, but the real power is the breadth of experience and the depth of thought.
Emotional nakedness is missing in Hip-Hop right now. Songs like "All That I Got Is You" allowed men to emote without sappy saccharine singles. Sky tries his hand at this kind of honesty with another 9th Wonder track "Under Pressure." Unlike many 9th Wonder works, this song is very dynamic, moving around and away from basic loop format. On an adult level, Sky goes from blaming his girl for their troubles, to blaming her friends, to finally accepting responsibility for his part in their relationship problems. The chorus changes subtly to reflect that. Distinctly clever and honest and it sounds good.
Other standout tracks on this work include dumb-out track "Penmanshi,p" the soulful "Dear Whoever" and the rich narrative "The Shooter's Soundtrack" which plays like a new millennium "Children's Story."
This is not a flawless album, or one that will break the mold, but it is gripping, well-produced, and well sequences. It's an album worthy of purchase on its own merit. Skyzoo as an emcee is very potent. His rhymes are layered and dense and not dependent on punchlines. He wastes no words and emotes fairly well.
Should his career truly take flight, we will look back at this work the same was we look at Reasonable Doubt and say we knew him when. If he has as much love for this music as I think he does, this won't be his best album. Even if it is, however, that would be no tragedy. It's an album we can all be proud of; devoid of bring New York back histrionics. Listen to it and you'll realize that you don't have any reason to doubt Skyzoo.

PF Changs glute free menu will start tomorrow with double the choice of gluten free items. When ordering a gluten free item it should be delivered to you on a round plate if no send it back!
The new items, in addition to are GF Beef with Broccoli, GF Beef a La Sichuan, GF Pepper Steak, GF Mongolian Beef. They also have GF Singapore Street Noodles (Shrimp, chicken & rice noodles) and Chang's Fried Rice in Beef, Chicken or Pork. The Flourless Chocolate Dome is the only GF dessert.
Gluten Freeville was quoted as saying "We were told that since they changed their marinade on Beef and Pork dishes, many more of them are gluten free now, but you still have to alert them to the fact that you are ordering the dish from the gluten free menu. Their flour-dusted items, such as the Mongolian Beef, Chang's Spicy Chicken, and the Lemon Chicken are always dusted in cornstarch, so the marinade was the problem."

Polina Edmunds got a big send-off to the Olympics on Friday. The sophomore at Archbishop Mitty High School in San Jose had the entire school say good bye and good luck to the Olympic hopeful as she leaves for Sochi. The 2014 Sochi Olympics is only days away and the star had some important people tell her good luck. According to ABC 7 on Friday there were two other Olympic medalists in the audience too.
Olympic gold medalists Brandi Chastain and Kerri Walsh were also there to cheer on Polina and show support to the school as both athletes are alum of the school. The moment seemed to be perfect as the athlete was surrounded by her friends for a final time before taking a plane to Russia.
Polina Edmunds is the youngest athlete on the women's US Olympic Figure Skating Team, but she is determined to do her best to represent America. The ladies on Team USA aren't the strongest when it comes to comparison in world competition they will face, but that might change when the blades hit the ice. Known for her nerves of steel, Polina might be the athlete that pulls out a win for Team USA. Delighted to be going to Russia to compete, Polina might be only 15, but she does know the importance of winning.
Polina Edmunds is going to Russia with the support of her entire school and win or lose it's a proud moment for San Jose residents.

Kim Kardashian is no stranger to material things, as she had a spending problem on previous seasons of "Keeping Up with the Kardashians." She often bought crazy items, including jewelry, shoes, and cars. And apparently, she is sharing this spending habit with his daughter. According to a new Wetpaint Entertainment report published on Jan. 20, Kim Kardashian could be designing diamond shoes for her daughter that she can wear during her upcoming wedding to Kanye West.
Apparently, Kim and Kanye "are spending a lot of time with Lorraine and they want her to create North a pair of one of a kind, diamond shoes, so she can walk her mother down the aisle when Kanye asks for her hand in marriage." Of course, Kim has planned that she wants to be expecting her second child when she walks down the aisle, so North would have to be at least two or three before she can walk down the aisle.
The insider adds, "Kanye wants Nori to be symbolic in the wedding … She's their creation and Nori is so pure and Kanye wants her to walk with Kim down the aisle, taking her first steps in this life to welcome her everlasting loving parents in their union of love."
Apparently, Kim is relying on her friend, jewelry designer Lorraine Schwartz, who designed Kim's enormous 15-carat engagement ring. Do you think it is crazy that she is designing these expensive shoes for her daughter?

The mystery of why George Clooney's "The Monuments Men" was moved from its original December 2013 release date to the first weekend of February has been answered. Unfortunately, it's not a good answer. The film proves to be at home in the usual sludge of February movies; a major disappointment for a once perceived Oscar contender. Despite its stellar cast, you never really get to know the characters. Despite an incredible true story, the narrative feels messy and never fully realized. Despite all of its best intentions, the movie falls flat.
The film is based on a group of artists that are tasked by the U.S. government to track down and return stolen art from the Nazi's as World War II is drawing to a close. While it provides a unique twist, "The Monuments Men" lacks many qualities of previous war films, chiefly the dramatic feel of war. The main characters are always coming in on the coattails of battles or cities that the Nazi's recently vacated. Not to say I expected these artists to be in full fledge combat, but the horrors of war and loss of human life could have been an appropriate juxtaposition from their own mission. The film felt more like a romp through the European countryside than a war film.
There is one sequence that come close, and is the standout of the entire film. As a number of the Monuments men are encamped at a base while the Battle of the Bulge is going on, Bill Murray's character receives a recorded message from home, though he has no immediate way to listen to it. Bob Balaban's character takes the message and plays it over the camp radio. The message is from Murray's daughter and grandchildren who sing "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas." While that plays, George Clooney's character is in a medical tent helping to attend to a young soldier. This is the emotional high point of the film, unfortunately it comes halfway through and it never comes close in the remaining hour.
A big reason for that is these characters are not truly known to the audience. We find out so little about their lives back home and even their own interactions are so minimal between themselves. Two characters die, and rather than be able to let the moments stand, the film must rely on voiceovers of why their death's are sad to attempt to get that emotion across. It is a problem with a big ensemble of course, but for this film to have worked the audience at least had to care about the men as much as they did the art.
Another problem brought up by the big ensemble, is that they all have their own narratives and all those narratives primarily take place in different locations. Only about a quarter of the film is the full group together striving for one goal. These other narratives never feel connected, and very few of the individual scenes truly add to the greater narrative. When something like that happens, the end result turns into a pretty boring movie.
"The Monuments Men" never knew what it wanted to be either. It's not a drama, as mentioned above our emotions aren't invoked enough for that to be the case. It's not a comedy, outside of a line or two all the jokes fall incredibly flat. At best it is a two-hour history lesson on some of the world's most incredible pieces of art, but you only actually see the art for about five minutes and the rest is filler.
The release date of "The Monuments Men" in the end was irrelevant, the movie simply is not very good. The canvas was too large for Clooney and his team to make something special. In a film that emphasizes the importance of art and its impact on history and culture, "The Monuments Men" adds nothing to the art of cinema and will quickly fade away from memory.

I just got a new magic mouse and the left and right click work fine but the swiping and scrolling wont work. I am running Snow Leopard (Version 10.6) on my 2009 MacBook and have performed all the updates. I have tried disconnecting and restarting the mouse and computer in all the combinations I can think of but still nothing.
Have you enabled swiping and scrolling in System Preferences?
Ok problem solved. As it turns out I had to go to http://support.apple.com/downloads/ and go back and find all the Snow Leopard OSX updates and download versions 10.6.1 - 10.6.3. If you are having the same problem I was having you should know that just going to the apple symbol and then to Software Updates is not enough to update your system to support all the magic mouse functions.
I had the same problem because of a conflict with USB Overdrive. I thought it was uninstalled, but apparently I hadn't removed the kernel extension at /System/Library/Extensions/USBOverdrive.kext. Running the uninstaller fixed it.
I have an iMac with OSX 10.6.8. My problem was that the computer was recognizing the mouse as a Mighty Mouse and not a Magic Mouse and would not allow the scroll and swipe capabilities.
What I did to fix it was use the remote mouse app on my iPhone to control the computer while I disconnected and rediscovered the mouse and for some reason, after that, it is recognized as a Magic Mouse and has all of the necessary capabilities.
I assume this would work if a USB mouse was connected to accomplish the same fix.

When we say boy bands are successful because they play into people's fantasies, we don't usually mean it this explicitly.
The just-released teaser for One Direction's "Kiss You" music video (only days away!) finds the boys in their most high-concept clip to date, as 1D promises to take us on an "epic adventure" the likes of which we have never seen before. As part of this adventure, natch, the guys have to dress up in adorable matching sailor uniforms, and then sometimes change into snappy 60′s-style suits—catnip for a certain type of One Direction fan, we are very sure.
The teaser clip's only 37 seconds long, so feel free to watch it approximately 150 times before lunchtime. And don't worry, the full video is out January 7.

To Conduct Cellular Censuses Sequence Deeply...
Diseases of the Eye That Cause...
Peptide Drugs Are Not Only Diverse...
Scientific Misconduct Is Jeopardizing the Quality...
Waters and Advion Biosciences successfully completed the evaluation phase of a joint effort to integrate the Advion TriVersa NanoMate chip-based infusion technology with the Waters® Synapt High Definition MS™ System.
The companies say the collaboration will maximize the amount of information researchers can extract from complex samples by combining the ease-of-use and reproducibility of Advion's nanoelectrospray chip-based sample introduction technology with the additional dimension of ion mobility-based separation provided by the Waters Synapt™ HDMS System.
The Synapt HDMS System combines high-sensitivity ion mobility and tandem mass spectrometry to provide information that is beyond the capabilities of conventional mass spectrometers, namely its ability to probe the size and shape of ions, says Alan Millar, HDMS program manager at Waters.
"A prerequisite for many investigations of this type is the ability to maintain the native conformation of protein or peptide ions into the gas phase. This is typically achieved through the use of neutral pH solvents and low infusion flow rates; an area where the TriVersa NanoMate system can provide demonstrable benefits in terms of ease-of-use and reproducibility," says Jack Henion, Ph.D., co-founder, CSO, and chairman of Advion BioSciences.

Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger has begun the season on a tear, throwing for 904 yards with 8 TDs and just one interception in three games. Rashard Mendenhall's return could help the Steelers' struggling run game, but Roethlisberger still figures to get plenty of chances to throw, and he's a solid play against the Eagles in Week Five. That said, the Eagles do have a strong secondary and pass rush.
Eagles QB Michael Vick was not even listed on the injury report with what is being called a knee bruise. Have no worries about the injury affecting him against the Steelers, who allowed the Raiders to throw the ball well on them prior to the bye.
Vikings QB Christian Ponder (knee) was limited in Wednesday's practice, but mostly as a precautionary measure. He's expected to be tip top against the Titans, who have been quite giving defensively.
Bengals QB Andy Dalton has eight TD passes and 890 passing yards in his last three starts. He's a strong starting option in Week Five against a Miami defense that's allowing close to 300 passing yards per game.
The Chiefs are allowing 7.93 yards per pass, which places them near the bottom of the league in that category. Ravens QB Joe Flacco, who's had an impressive start to 2012, surely merits strong consideration in Week Five.

Write YOUR Whispering Rock experiences!
gratuitous makeout scenes welcome
You know what I did this summer, you stupid punk? I went to camp. Whispering Rock.
And it had everything! Hilarious stereotypes to gratuitous makeout scenes, this camp really knows how to keep you from commiting suicide.
The first day, I died.
I'll come up with one soon (my brain is very tire).
To whoever cares,
You know I was hopeful for this camp. It may have been due to the summer air or that I had been one of the few to get into this. This excitement may have led me to miss the fact that the older campers had skipped class instead of joined it and the ones who were going to class were planning on leaving as soon as the Coachs thoughts were on other campers. Noting this would have saved me the trouble of falling over various cliffs twenty three times.
See, this is not an ordinary camp, dear god no. This is a psychic camp for people who can manipulate their mind above average levels. Notice how I didnt say control.
So for the first day they had us go through a training course. No problem, right? Uhh..not so much. Oleander, the coach, is a maniac. Upon entering his mind he told me to hit him square in the jaw. My partner, Lili, did just that and I found myself blowing up. A few seconds later I was right back in but she had already disappeared. Then Coach Oleander came up on a screen to laugh at me. I found it particularly discouraging but then he moved on to taunt other kids I believe.
The only good thing Ive learned in Coach Oleanders mind is that you can jump really well in minds. Not only could I jump once, but in the middle of the air, okay the AIR, I was able to bounce up again.
It was pretty sweet until I had to jump over miles and miles of empty air to cross over moving platforms. The only thing I can say about that is there is nothing in the world like falling down endless miles to only be ripped back onto the ground.
Somehow I managed to pass that and even shimmied across the ledge. Something I wouldnt have done in real life, as there is no one to catch you if you do slip in the real world. This time I only managed to drop seven times and I even had a fall buddy, Vernon. It was nice at first but when youre falling to your doom you dont want to hear about the Longest Walk Ever.
Next came the minefield where I lost Vernon. Which wasnt too bad as he was only a quarter of the way through his story and I had been listening to him for a good twenty minutes. When I finally did get out of the minefield and into the plane I was immediately sucked out. It seems other campers had gotten there first and didnt leave the door closed. This time it wasnt too bad, I even think I got over my fear of falling!
The Coachs face had just left the screen when I fell down onto a patch of snowy land. I think it was good because there was a gate that was open. Easy stuff there.
It was when I came to the machine gun yes a MACHINE GUN that I had a little trouble. See, your supposed to have a punching power in peoples minds but I never learned how to do that. Its not that easy for me. Sure my jumping is pretty good but my punching is not. I never knew I was supposed to be learning it but when I came out of Oleanders mind he told me it was in the pamphlet.
Does anyone read the pamphlet?
Note: I'm going to write my experiences based from my roleplay, "Trouble at Whispering Rock" in Sarah's (my character) POV.
And the girl, Grimm, is Zer0-Devil's character.
Dear journal,
Everything is going well. Me, Justin, and Drummer are at Whispering Rock Psychic Summer Camp.
The reason we're here because my boss, Bigface, wants me and the others to take a break from all the stress from work and get me to work on my abilities.
He told me that the camp is for young people (by, "young people" he meant, "kids of ages 6 or 12") and told me not to bring my weapons to the camp. He also told me not to curse in front of of the children either (since I have a short fuse and cuss like Denis Leary).
Drummer decided to come with us because he wants to keep an eye on me so I don't do anything stupid.
When we got off the bus, Justin already met two of the campers, Milka and Elton. It was funny to see Justin's reaction when Milka disappeared in front of him. Elton explains to him about her and gave us directions to the camp.
As we got to the cabins, Drummer saw a girl wearing black goggles, getting teased by two boys (who happen to be Bobby and Benny, the resident camp bullies) and then hearing Bobby screaming in pain. I rushed over to see what's going on. Before the two boys left, Bobby tells his friend to put the girl on his "list of people he shouldn't be messing with".
I ask the girl what she did to Bobby that made him to be in pain. She told me that it was called Bio-Manipulation, a psychic ability to stun or make people ill. Just then, a short man wearing what looked like an army uniform walk over to us and wants to know what happen. I tried my best to explain what happen when Drummer came in to help us out. The man (who introduce himself as Morceau Oleander or Coach Oleander) told us that he'll see us tomorrow and left.
Me and Drummer introduce ourselves to the girl. She than introduce herself as Grimm and left.
Before we went back to our cabin, the loud speakers came on and announced that tonight at 7 PM, we're going to the reception area to meet the camp counselors, Sasha Nein and Milla Vodello.
Those names sound so familiar...and why do I have a feeling that something bad is going to happen? I guess I'll figure it out later.
-Sarah Valentine
Well, since I feel bad when no one responds to something I worked long on I'm going to respond to these except for Purple Squid's.
Kingcheez yours reminds me of some of my summer camps that were really nice and I want to go back now.
Agent....I mean Mission, it took me a while to figure out who was the black goggled girl. I thought it was Lili in goggles as Lili is an amazing psychic.
Aww. Mine didn't get love.
I don't deserve it. I just wrote that because I wanted to write something but didn't really want to. Xo
I made a few errors in my writing. Like the weird Besiderer. Besiderer the point....
Look in the caccon couples thread in a few minutes.
You know what's funny? There's a pop-up on this screen telling me how lame nerds are...
Pop-ups try to edge in on our human insecurity. They're like satan mosquitos.
Speaking about Satan he was the only one to get an A on the science project in class. Everyone else failed. I had an A+ in that class prior to it and I got a D+ on the test.
Oh..don't worry Agent Sarah, every girl in Psychonauts is Lili to me. I read a fanfiction of Psychonauts and there's an unamed female. LILI!
I did another day at Whispering Rock.
Ive passed it, yes I have passed it! Amazing, no? While all of the other campers were allowed to have fun for at least a few more hours I was stuck inside of Oleanders brain sliding down ramps of enourmous peril. You cannot believe how scary they are. Its not the heights anymore, I got over that long long ago. Its the impending doom of smashing your face into pure steel at twenty miles an hour. Just because Im projecting myself doesnt mean it doesnt hurt. I could still feel my skin ripping off the flesh. Lovely mental image, isnt it?
How did I get past that machine gun? I ran like hell. So yes, anyone who needs to get past the gun and is a loser like me, just run. Theres no hope in trying strategy tactics.
The log o doom is simply a parlor trick. Just keep on walking.
Im starting to sound all athletic and cool. Truth be told, I was in a fetal positon upon looking at it but I got through no problem. Its really just my bad nerves that made it seem worse.
When I finally got the bade there was no warm fuzzy feeling or big ceremony. I just got kicked out. Meh at least now I can actually eat food as Im not penned in at the cabins.
Pop-ups try to edge in on our human insecurity. They're like satan mosquitos.
Speaking about Satan he was the only one to get an A on the science project in class. Everyone else failed. I had an A+ in that class prior to it and I got a D+ on the test.
Wow, Satan is smarter than I give him credit for. Are the mosquito popups his minions?
And, by the way, your journals make me laugh. Laugh.
I would cry and scream.
I did that at Six-Flags, and the ride-controlly lady laughed at me. :'(
Y do they hire evil people to work at rollar coasters?
I dunno, but I had just gotten out of a roller coaster that nearly killed me, and I wasn't very happy.
would it be mean of me to laugh at that?
Yes. I ACTUALLY almost fell out of that thing, with its crappy seatbelts and all...
But laugh anyway.
Tee HEE, FUNNINESS!!!!
Then I held on for dear life.
Heh, maybe. I was in the... something. Whatever it was, it was a BAD COASTER. You know how they're supposed to make you excited? Well, this one WAS JUST UNFAIR. It was pitch black, as in NO LIGHTS, and there were LOOPS. I hate loops. And my seatbelt came undone and my mom had to hold onto me the rest of the time. And you know what we said before we went in?
Me- Mom, I don't want to go. Teenagers are crying.
Mom- They're just trying to scare you. <3
When I was about 8 or so I went on Dare Devil Dive. You know the one that goes 150 feet up into the air and you're hanging by one cord. Then they go "Three...two...one..take off."
I let go of the cord and for a half of a second my stomach was free-falling, zero g's. And then I was falling, flying towards the ground only to swoop up and suspend in the air for what seemed like a minute.
They were playing "Let me Clear my Throat" on the radio.
Oooh. I saw that ride... but you know what scares the crap out of me? The Steel Eel. It's a VERY simple ride, like an upside down 'u', but it can make you throw up so fast... and after watching all of that barf land with a splat on the ground below it... ew.
There are some Disney rides that are worth a good pee-in-the-pants.
Disney has too long of rides. Unless you break your grandparents or something and then they go into the wheelchairs and you cut everybody by being able to go into the exit.
We must have hit fifty rides that day.
That roller coaster KILLED MY SOUL. And you know what' worse? My life was so scarred I wouldn't even go through the E.T. ride at Universal Studios... or the Peter Pan ride at Disney Land. Needless to say, I was made fun of... a lot.
My life is still scarred by that Alien ride where he's breathing all heavy.
I wish I went into it now that that stuff doesn't scare me
That stuff still scares me. My life was broken. As was my sense of courage. :'(
OMG, that reminds me of this one time. I Rode Batman: Night Flight for the first time. I was so freaked out I started to cry. My mom yelled at me because I was embarassing our family. Also later, I saw that ride on a Travle Channel special ant is said it is one of the most scary rollar coasters out there. Put that in your Water bottle and drink it mom!
Heck, I wouldn't wanna drink that either.
I am Ray The Psychic and I will destroy you all!!!!!
Hello pplz I am new and I will destroy you all w/ my controlled Psi powers :king1: Oh and I've been reading this for a while.
Oh I was put in a straitjacket and thrown into the insane asylum for some odd reason. (I may be insane but my Psychic abilities are great.)

Defense, Morris Lead No. 11 UMass To 8-3 Win At Sacred Heart
March 22, 2005
FAIRFIELD, Conn. - The No. 11 UMass men's lacrosse team continued its stellar defensive play with an 8-3 victory at Sacred Heart on a sunny Tuesday afternoon. Sean Morris had his fifth hat trick of the season, scoring the final three goals of the game. The Minutemen's defense held Sacred Heart's top four scorers without a point as UMass had its best defensive outing since a 6-3 win over Hofstra last season.
"Our defense was excellent," said head coach Greg Cannella. "Bill Schell was solid in goal and Dane Collins won a lot of draws. This was a team effort and I am proud of our guys. Sacred Heart hung around. They are a very good team and played scrappy much like our team."
Schell had his best game of the season with 14 saves. Schell now has 480 career saves to rank fifth all-time at UMass. Collins won 9-of-14 face-offs.
Morris finished off his hat trick with the only goals of the fourth quarter after he and Jeff Zwyicki scored in the third quarter to give UMass a commanding 6-3 lead heading to the last period.
The teams traded goals in the second quarter as SHU opened the scoring as Rory Morse tallied on the extra-man scoring as he was falling to the ground after being checked just 37 seconds into the quarter. UMass' Andrew Recchione answered to a make it 3-1. The Pioneers then made to 2-for-2 on the EMO as Billy Fuchs banged in a rebound to make it 3-2, UMass with 5:41 left in the half. Gene Tundo answered less than a minute later to make is 4-2 heading to halftime.
Zwyicki opened the scoring with a behind-the-back goal just 6:30 into the game off a pass from Tundo. Brian Jacovina made it 2-0 with a blistering shot with 4:04 left in the first quarter.
UMass continues on the road as the Minutemen open the ECAC schedule at Loyola as the teams face-off in Baltimore on Saturday at 1 p.m.

2013 is gone and so is Matt Smith's Eleventh Doctor. How does one satisfy their need for British television helmed by England's Joss Whedon, Steven Moffat? Welcome back, Sherlock Holmes, in the best of the current live action iterations, Sherlock. After faking his death in "The Reichenbach Fall" and letting the world believe it for two years, not everyone is happy to see him. Dr. John Watson, his once-constant companion (and looking more Watson-y than ever, with his old man mustache) is especially disturbed by Holmes's return. Looking to move on with his life, with fiancée Mary, John makes it clear he has no intention of forgiving and re-joining the sleuthing business.
In his absence, Sherlock's name has been cleared and the enigma of James Moriarty revealed. It doesn't take the master detective long to get back into the swing of things, though he is clearly troubled. John goes about his business he is abducted and nearly killed, used as bait for Sherlock. Mary and Holmes arrive in time to save John's life, leaving Watson with no choice but to consider reconciliation, just in time to try to thwart an attack on parliament.
Like all Sherlock episodes, "The Empty Hearse" moves quickly, keeping the audience off-balance just enough. This episode is mostly notable for the sheer goofiness of Sherlock trying to surprise John with his return. It's nice to see star Benedict Cumberbatch show some levity and diversity to his performance. Martin Freeman plays Watson with such a likable indignation. The mystery isn't paramount but it's been two years. While the game is most certainly afoot again, everyone in this world is trying to regain their balance. By the end, all seems to be back to normal and a new arch nemesis hides in the shadows. The one shame is that knowing that with one episode down, there's only two more left.

Your doctor will ask you to stop wearing makeup, lotions and perfumes for a day or two before surgery. You will not be able to drive after your LASIK procedure. Make arrangements for someone to drive you home.
On the day of the procedure, your doctor may give you a mild sedative to help you relax. You will enter the operating room and lie down in a reclining chair.
The area around your eye will be cleaned with an antiseptic solution. Next, numbing eye drops will be placed in your eye so that you will not feel pain or discomfort during the procedure. An instrument called a lid speculum will be inserted into your eye to keep your eyelids open. The doctor will use special ink to mark the surgical area on your cornea.
Next, a ringlike suction device will be placed on the front of your eyes to hold your cornea in place during the procedure. This suction ring will cause a sensation of pressure, but no pain.
Then, a delicate cutting instrument called a microkeratome will be used to slice a tiny, hinged flap of tissue from the front of your cornea. You will not see or feel the microkeratome cutting your cornea.
Once the cutting is done, the surgeon will remove the suction ring from your eye, and fold back the hinged flap of cornea. Next, the laser will be moved into position, and you will be asked to stare at a light. Staring fixes your gaze and keeps your eye from moving.
Once your eye is steady, the doctor will use the laser to vaporize portions of your cornea. This vaporization is guided by a computer. It is based on precise eye measurements that were made during your presurgery examination. As the laser works, you will hear a clicking sound, and you may notice a smell similar to burning hair. These sounds and smells are normal.
When your laser treatment is finished, the doctor will reposition the hinged flap of cornea. No stitches are necessary. The doctor probably will cover your eye with an eye shield to protect the corneal flap as it heals.
After your surgery, you must be careful not to touch or press your eye. For a few hours, you may feel slight discomfort or a burning sensation in your eye. In most cases, you can relieve this with over-the-counter pain medication.

During the Endure Baravia Triathlon in Western Australia, a camera drone was hacked, and then flown into the ground - but before it hit the ground, it reportedly struck an athlete. Some reports have said that the drone crashed near her, and she fell after becoming "startled" by the crashing drone.
Just how was it hacked? The operator of the drone, New Era Photography and Film's Warren Abrams, said that someone had intentionally "channel hopped" the drone, which took control of it, and caused the drone to crash into the ground from the skies above. The bigger issue at hand, is that Abrams' company didn't have the certification to be commercially covering the race in the first place.

Interview with *chirart
<thefluffyshrimp> Welcome to ASKtheARTIST. My name is ~thefluffyshrimp and today I have the great privilege to interview *chirart, a very talented comic artist and creator of many well-known works on deviantART, including Sfeer Theory and The Fox Sister.
<thefluffyshrimp> Thank you for presenting us with this opportunity to interview you, Chirart.
<chirart> My pleasure! Thank you for considering me!
<thefluffyshrimp> ~StrifeLaughter asks "About how much of your day is devoted to drawing?"
<chirart> Quite a lot of it. I keep thinking the day is longer than 24 hours and sleep isn't THAT important, is it?
<chirart> On average I'd say ten to fifteen hours is dedicated to drawing a day.
<thefluffyshrimp> ~Sentimentale asks "You mentioned Diana Wynne Jones as an inspiration. How has she affected your story-telling style?"
<chirart> Diana Wynne Jones definitely plays a major inspiration in my artwork and storytelling. I think the feelings I resonate with her work is that childhood melancholy we all experience, and that children face things that are darker and scarier adults give us credit for.
<chirart> And, of course, a good healthy dose of magic.
<thefluffyshrimp> ~nixkickin asks "How do you choose your color palette?"
<chirart> I try to lean on very basic color theory principles... All the ones you're taught in a grade 8 art class. Contrasting colors, the emotional impact of some colors, warm versus cool colors, the works.
<chirart> I try to go for emotional impact than what makes sense, so color remains extremely relative.
<thefluffyshrimp> =gongjins asks "I know every artist works differently, so if you don't mind me asking, what is your comic process like from script to finish?"
<chirart> Well, I don't write my scripts for one! I work with Alex Singer on Sfeer Theory and Christina Strain on The Fox Sister. They both have very different ways of approaching the script. Alex has been my best friend for years now, and we collaborate evenly on our stories, so working on her scripts is very intuitive for me. Christina, however, I have a business relationship with, so she's very precise about what she wants, which I like.
<chirart> In both cases, I do thumbnails and run it by the writers, and they either give me the green light to proceed to draw the finished lines, or they tell me suggestions and fixes to make.
<thefluffyshrimp> ~rabbityak90 asks "Is there anything you've found really difficult to get the hang of drawing?"
<chirart> Besides drawing itself? Well, I guess my biggest challenge is getting a hang of what I'm capable of, and knowing when to stop and rest.
<thefluffyshrimp> What about objects/forms? Are there any in particular that you found difficult to draw?
<chirart> I don't find myself very strong in terms of sci-fi settings--so architecture, vehicles, technology.
<chirart> I haven't given a lot of opportunity for myself to study/learn that yet.
<thefluffyshrimp> ~StrifeLaughter asks "Have you ever considered other art forms? Even outside of visual mediums?"
<chirart> Oh absolutely... Actually as a child I did a little bit of everything. I did music, I did sculpture, I did dance, I was in choir. I was terrible at all of it but I had fun. More than anything, though, I wanted to be a writer! I never got the hang of prose narrative and ended up falling on drawing, somehow.
<thefluffyshrimp> ~Alerane asks "What's it like to update multiple ongoing comics? Does having deadlines for yourself help keep them organized?"
<chirart> Having deadlines helps keep things moving, definitely, although while I'm an organized person by nature, with my art I can't seem to be. It's such a creative and arbitrary process. I make a schedule and I try to stick by it as close as I can, but there's no way to plan "why can't I focus!?" days
<thefluffyshrimp> ~Sentimentale asks "What is your process like for creating new characters?" and ~pepechka asks "I think many fans would like to know how, when designing the looks of original characters, you pick out certain physical traits. Basically, how much are they based on your initial mental image in proportion to deliberate design choices? (Besides making everyone dreamy.)"
<chirart> I try to make every original character recognizable, iconic, and unique, and the key to being unique is to embrace features that media everywhere is telling you is ugly.
<chirart> I firmly believe that what stands out is memorable, so to make everything beautiful is to make everything conformed and unrecognizable.
<thefluffyshrimp> ~P-the-wanderer asks "Do you think you could have been where you are if you didn't meet Muun, your artistic partner?"
<chirart> I think my life would've been sadder, and I wouldn't be drawing at all, if it wasn't for Muun.
<thefluffyshrimp> ~ri-el asks "Do you draw inspiration from real-life experiences and try to incorporate them into your comics?"
<chirart> As much as I can. The more I go through in my own life, the better it connects me to characters and motivations I may not have understood before.
<thefluffyshrimp> ~Melancholy-Minds asks "Hello, my fellow Canadian! I was wondering if you've had any formal artistic training and if so, would you tell us which art school you attended?"
<chirart> I consider myself self-taught. I had no real formal training in art. I took a grade 8 art course in high school, which I hated and vowed never to take art again. I also took animation for 3 months in 2007. I stayed just long enough to draw my bouncing ball and then dropped out.
<chirart> So I did my best figuring things out on my own like a chump.
<thefluffyshrimp> ~Zachula asks "Did you notice anything in your art that caused your fame?" and *DustBunny-Studios asks "How do you advertise and promote both yourself and your work to get such a large readership?"
<chirart> Haha I think my viewers will have a better idea than I do... I really have no idea why so many people bother looking at my work. I actually have a hard time handling the spotlight, so often times I don't think about it.
<chirart> I'm grateful, all the same.
<thefluffyshrimp> ~Melancholy-Minds asks "Which digital program and tablet do you primarily use for your works?"
<chirart> I use a Wacom Intuos 3 6x8" tablet had this one for about five years now. I primarily do my line-work in Open Canvas 4.06E Plus and I color using Adobe Photoshop CS3.
<thefluffyshrimp> ~Sentimentale asks "Has art always been a passion for you or was it something you stumbled across later?"
<chirart> It always has. I painted all the time growing up, and I was obsessed with animated movies. I grew up in Paris, so going to the Louvre was my equivalent of going to the carnival... Painting and drawing that well was like magic to me, I didn't think any ordinary human could do that because I kept trying and I couldn't!
<chirart> Still, I decided very early on that the one thing I did NOT want to be was an artist... So it took me a while to embrace being one.
<thefluffyshrimp> What reasons did you have to be hesitant about being an artist at first, and what "won you over" later?
<chirart> I hated the "starving artist" imagery. You see it in every movie and TV show and comic book ever. The answer was clear: if you're an artist you'll be poor and miserable! That seemed so stupid to me, why would anyone want to be that way?
<chirart> So I decided to be a writer, because clearly they make a lot of money, right?
<thefluffyshrimp> Hahaha.
<chirart> But lo and behold, I ended up being an artist, anyway. If anything won me over, it was Muun. I just believed in her writing and stories so much, she constantly inspired me, so I kept drawing for her.
<chirart> And somehow this became more and more of a thing.
<chirart> (Muun being Alex Singer, for clarification.)
<chirart> (The writer of Sfeer Theory--that's her nickname.)
<thefluffyshrimp> ~MysteryCreator asks "What kind of advice would you tell beginner web artists who want to go into the business?"
<chirart> Oh, god, I'm so not the right person to ask for that, I'm terrible at business.
<chirart> In fact, business gives me so much anxiety! I'm still trying to figure that part out myself.
<chirart> I guess one thing I can say is: don't let people convince you your art (and the time it takes to make it) isn't worth the value you think it is.
<thefluffyshrimp> ~CharisJB asks "Do you have other aspirations aside from being a webcomic artist?"
<chirart> I'd like to study history and languages more.
<chirart> I'd like to go to school and major in history one day. Properly.
<thefluffyshrimp> ~ri-el asks "Fox Sister is absolutely gorgeous in print! What company prints your books?"
<chirart> You'll have to ask Christina that one I think she goes with Global? Which I believe is stationed in China. Don't quote me on that. For Sfeer Theory, Alex and I went with Transcontinental, stationed in Montreal.
<thefluffyshrimp> ~Jashiku asks "Do you read any webcomics? If so, what are some of your favourites?"
<chirart> I do, and I have a whole list of new ones to read. But the ones I keep up with are TJ and Amal, Knights-Errant, Starfighter, and Oglaf. Sometimes I remember to catch up with Penny Arcade.
<chirart> There's a bunch of others... Just need the time to catch up properly.
<thefluffyshrimp> *DustBunny-Studios asks "When you create your comics that are a little more... Raunchy, is that just something for yourself or is it similar to your other work that are scripted by another person?"
<chirart> Hmm. Well, to clarify, with the exception of paid work (The Fox Sister, commissions), all the art I draw is for myself. If you mean that I draw it to whack off to, that's a huge no! I mean... it's really hard to find something erotic when you're busy redrawing a panel 6 times and haven't slept for a day.
<chirart> But I think drawing sex is fun.
<chirart> It's like drawing people interacting, or drawing a fight scene it's another form of human communication and connection.
<chirart> So it's another way to explore emotional dynamics between characters.
<chirart> Also it's a great way to tackle anatomy.
<chirart> And like most comics I draw, if it's with Muun (Alex Singer) then it's just another story or a snapshot of a story we want to share. It's all fun, to me.
<thefluffyshrimp> ~Ann-Cygnus asks "Chira, I think you mentioned that you're the only artistic person in your family? As the only person who is making a living from art in your family, what sort of challenges do you face?"
<chirart> About the same challenges as anyone living on their own: how to manage time, money, and social life.
<chirart> My family has always been really supportive of me and my art, I don't think that'd be any different if I pursued something else.
<thefluffyshrimp> *licchan asks "Do you dream of seeing your comic animated? If so, do you have any specific style in mind or studio you'd specifically want to do it for you?"
<chirart> I only see my work animated in my style, otherwise what's the point? But it's not really something I think about, if I have to be honest.
<thefluffyshrimp> ~Anime723 asks "Do you believe your process of drawing is more methodical, casual, or just somewhere in between?"
<chirart> It depends. With comic/sequential work, I definitely pursued developing a method. It's not rigid, but it's enough of one to keep things consistent, to plan, and to keep things going at a decent pace. When I do illustrations, though, it's my excuse to try something new.
<chirart> To me, if I don't do something new with every illustration I do then I'm wasting my time.
<thefluffyshrimp> ~CondescendingArthole asks "You are an inspiration in both your views on storytelling and artistic abilities; as an aspiring artist and a writer, how can I improve on my storytelling, and making them into something that's convincing and something that an audience would enjoy?"
<chirart> A lot of people ask me about how I lay out my pages or tips on storytelling. I wish I could give a precise answer, but if it helps, a lot of my technique actually comes from studying Film Studies.
<chirart> I'm a huge fan of cinematography, and the language of movies.
<chirart> And I heavily rely on director techniques in my visual storytelling.
<thefluffyshrimp> ~Sentimentale asks "Who among your characters is the most fun to draw?"
<chirart> All of them? If a character isn't fun for me to draw, I just... don't draw them. But I love all the characters I design, so!
<thefluffyshrimp> *DustBunny-Studios asks "How do you keep yourself motivated?"
<chirart> I think about the stories I want to tell with Alex and how much I believe in them.
<thefluffyshrimp> ~SunshineNine asks "You're really amazing at showing movement with your drawings. How do you think you developed that skill?"
<chirart> Well first of all, thank you! As for your question: I was really lazy. I see things in my head as fully animated movements or sequences, but I don't have the patience to be an animator, so it became more of "how much can I pack into a single drawing, because that's all I'm going to do."
<thefluffyshrimp> ~invisibleinnocence asks "How do you achieve such beautiful gradients in your color work? Do you use a gradient tool?"
<chirart> I make sweet romantic love to my gradient tool.
<thefluffyshrimp> ~Zachula asks "If you were stuck drawing one thing for eternity, what would want it be?"
<chirart> Sfeer Theory, I imagine.
<thefluffyshrimp> ~Ann-Cygnus asks "What are some of your pet peeves about character design in animated films, shows and non-superhero comics?"
<chirart>The lack of diversity in female characters.
<chirart> People are unwilling to draw female characters who aren't conventionally attractive, and they're willing to take less risks in their character design, and it's appalling.
<chirart> You open up an average character design book and they show you all sorts of diverse types for guys... but all the girls have the same body-type and face but different hair.
<chirart> And it's not just in films but it's warped the audience perception of what to expect from female character designs too.
<chirart> I constantly try to make every girl as different and unique as possible, and if they differ from that normal feminine look often people tell me I draw them too masculine or not girly enough.
<chirart> And I think that's really sad.
<thefluffyshrimp> ~Sentimentale asks "I've seen on Tumblr that you're pretty passionate about women owning their sexuality. Do you ever intend to feature that sort of thing in a story?"
<chirart> Absolutely. It's something Alex and I are very passionate about.
<thefluffyshrimp> ~CondescendingArthole asks "I just want to say thanks for taking out some time today to answer some questions and do this interview! As for my question, and maybe just an opinion would suffice, but how does one really put themselves out there and get their work recognized, or how do you know that what you're doing will resonate with an audience? I've written stories that are interesting to me, and a few friends, but how do I make something that can really be rooted into a reader and make them connect or admire something I've done?"
<chirart> Honestly? Don't worry about your audience.
<chirart> I'm a weirdo in that I never bothered or cared if anyone read my stuff
<chirart> All I cared about is if I was proud of it and if Alex was proud of it.
<chirart> I was happy just sharing it with friends.
<chirart> Somehow people took notice, though.
<chirart> What's important is if it resonates with you, it'll likely resonate with someone else out there.
<thefluffyshrimp> *Ouffi asks "You have a very unique art style that I simply adore. What are your main inspirations for your art?"
<chirart> Disney, anime, manga, French comics, a lot of my artist friends... Blacksad is a huge inspiration to me. Tarzan (the Disney movie) probably was the reason I started taking art seriously because it's pure magic.
<thefluffyshrimp> ~CharisJB asks "Do you happen to know your Myer-Briggs personality type?"
<chirart> I tested myself once every couple of years using different questionnaires and I've consistently been INTJ.

How to check the health of a hard drive
I replaced the stock Fujitsu drive in my MacBook Pro with a Seagate Momentus XT and I'm having all kinds of problems.
Specifically, apps will lock up for 30 seconds or so whenever anything accesses the disk, making the system all but unusable.
Interestingly, the same drive works great when it's connected through an external SATA-USB bridge, and the stock drive never caused any problems of this nature.
So while the cause of the problem is pretty conclusively narrowed down, my question is if there's anything I can do about it. Are there diagnostics I should be running? Settings I should be tweaking?
Or should I just return/exchange the drive as defective? And in that case, is an exchange worth pursuing or is it more likely to be an incompatibility than a faulty piece of hardware?

The Chicago Tribune might have rated miracle seeds as one of the most overrated food trends of the year but that doesn't mean you should toss them from your shelves just yet. Flax seed has gained popularity in recent years and has omega-3s that are thought to do everything from lower your risk of heart disease and arthritis to help mitigate depression.
Even though flax often gets top billing as a power food, there are plenty of other seeds out there - such as chia seed, hemp seed and grape seed that you can enjoy daily - even in your beauty routine.
Grape seed is essentially an herb that performs medicinal functions: it is used to treat conditions such as atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries), high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and poor circulation.

St. Agnes, Cleveland, Ohio (1914, demolished 1975), John T. Comes
John Theodore Comes was born in 1873 and educated in St. Paul, Minnesota. After moving to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania in 1897, he set up an architectural practice revolving around the construction of Roman Catholic churches. In 1920 Comes published the influential book Catholic Art and Architecture which featured many of his designs. He died in 1922.
St. Agnes' Church in Cleveland was one of Comes' finest works, a Romanesque revival pile in gray stone roofed in terracotta tiles. Its interior was truly glorious, decked with marbles and frescoes and lit by glittering stained-glass windows. The apse fresco in particular stood out as being of the very finest quality. Painted by Felix Lieftuchter of Cincinnati it featured an enthroned Christ in white backed by God the Father robed in purple and the dove representing the Holy Spirit, all surrounded by saints and angels on a deep blue ground. Green and orange and gold accents made for a strikingly modern color palette. The apses of the two side chapels also contained frescoes and were lined with marble.
According to a 1920 publication, "The best time to see the interior of the Church of Saint Agnes is when it is the scene of some great ceremonial, the setting for the joy of some high festival. Stand at the end of the nave during the solemn Mass on Christmas, or Easter, or the Feast of Saint Agnes, when the place is crowded with kneeling worshippers. Watch the choir boys singing their way down the aisle, the figures of priests and acolytes moving across the chancel and up the altar steps, the glowing color of lamps and vestments and windows under the bending Christ, the cloudy incense sifting through the gold meshes of the baldacchino, and you will get the thrill of the most stupendous drama ever enacted before human eyes. See the church as the background for this great drama, as painted and gilded and carved and jewelled for the incredible coming of the Son of God, and you will understand what churches are made for, and why, in the days when there were no unbelievers and the House of God had no rival in men's hearts, all the riches and color and splendor of the world were gathered up to prepare the scene for this daily miracle."
St. Agnes' Church was demolished on November 24, 1975 after it was decided necessary repairs after a fire would be too expensive. The parish was combined with Our lady of Fatima. All that remains of Comes' church is its belltower, rising alone from a weed-choked lot.

Thank you for posting this information. My grandparents were married in this church May 17, 1924. With my genealogy research, I now have photos of the church to go along with the image of their marriage license! I went on Google Maps and I see there's a CVS pharmacy on the site now, but the bell tower is still standing in the lot next door.ReplyDeleteReplies

I attended the St. Agnes school for first and second grades (1956-1958) and remember the church, rectory, and school (which sat back along E. 79 street). The school burned first around 1973-1975, then the church was demolished in 1975, and finally the rectory was turned into a radio station and then razed for CVS. Parts of the Church (the baptistry entrance, the communion rail, and stained glass windows) and also St. Thomas Aquinas were incorporated into the restaurant called Minnillo's which eventually became an art studio for CWRU. There is a pdf of St. Agnes Church - Cleveland, Ohio, An Interpretation by Anne O'Hare McCormick existing in the Kelvin Smith Library at Case Western Reserve University. It has many pictures of the interior and items which were in the Church. I have the pdf so if you want it I can send it from e-mail (firstname.lastname@example.com).Delete
This church was, truly, one of Comes' gems. It is a shame no color pictures of the santuary decoration are extant.ReplyDeleteReplies
Actually, I do have a color rendering of the sanctuary decoration. However the book containing it is in another country at the moment so I can't post it. If you want to get a sense of the color palette have a look at some photos of St. Joseph's Cathedral in Wheeling, WV.Delete
John T. Comes will be remembered with a PA State Historical Marker in front of the St. Agnes Church,Fifth Avenue, Oakland section, Pittsburgh, PAReplyDelete

Police use iPhone app to track La Mesa burglary suspects
LA MESA, Calif. - A La Mesa man awoke early Saturday to find two men burglarizing his home, and police used an iPhone application to track the suspects to Chula Vista before they were arrested two hours later back in La Mesa.
Luis Pelayo and Luis Gallardo, both 21 and both San Diego residents, were arrested at about 2 a.m. Saturday near Murray Hill Road and Yale Avenue in La Mesa. They were booked on suspicion of multiple crimes including residential burglary, theft of a firearm and possession of a controlled substance, La Mesa Police Department Lt. Ray Sweeney said.
Officers used the "Find My iPhone" app to track the men from the robbery in La Mesa to an address in Chula Vista and back to La Mesa, Sweeney said.
The victim called 911 at about 12:05 Saturday morning to report two unknown suspects had just fled out the back door of his residence in the 5400 block of McRae Avenue, Sweeney said. The victim told police that the men had stolen prescription medication, a .40-caliber Glock 23 handgun, cash, credit cards and an iPhone.
La Mesa police called in a sheriff's helicopter and used police dogs to search the area near the burglary, but did not locate the suspects, Sweeney said.
Officers then used the iPhone app to track the phone to an address in Chula Vista at about 1:45 a.m., Sweeney said. Chula Vista police said they had received a call from near the same address about two men who had left the area in a dark colored, late model BMW.
La Mesa police used the app to see that the iPhone was on its way back towards La Mesa, Sweeney said. Police set up a perimeter near Eastridge Drive and Seattle Drive, and as they approached the BMW, the vehicle was driven away with its lights off.
Officers stopped the vehicle at Murray Hill Road and Yale Avenue with the assistance of police dogs and the sheriff's helicopter, where they arrested Pelayo and Gallardo, Sweeney said. The phone, gun, medications, credit cards and cash were all recovered.

Dallas' first 11 days of February averaged about 15 degrees below normal thanks to an amplified jet stream pattern. This scenario is replaced by a big burst of spring-like weather for Valentine's Day weekend, so you might say we will have a sweetheart of a forecast!
The steering wind flow will become due west-to-east and this favors a downsloping, warming air mass. It also favors gusty southerly winds at the surface so fire danger will increase as these winds develop.
Unfortunately conditions will remain quite dry through at least Feb. 19th, but at least it will be very comfortable in the temperature department.
