People lucky enough to watch the light-and-sound spectacle at Washington Park weighed on what they loved and hated about this year's event. They also commented on what they'd like to see changed next year.
Even while most flocked to social media to praise the beauty of this year's event, the question has to be asked: What does the future hold for LumenoCity?
There's more to the story when you become an Insider. WCPO Insider's membership is an additional benefit on top of everything you can get for free on WCPO.com. We created an entire digital organization dedicated to bringing you exclusive access to in-depth stories that you can't get anywhere else, handpicked events, and incredible savings on things you love to do. To find out more click here.
An estimated 10,000 people attend LumenoCity, a light show cast on Music Hall to the tunes of the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra, the Cincinnati Pops, with performances by the Cincinnati Ballet, Saturday, Aug. 2, 2014, in Over-the-Rhine's Washington Park.
More than 40,000 people ventured to Washington Park over the weekend to take part in the second annual LumenoCity concert series.
Over four days, the thousands of people with tickets, and hundreds without, ventured to the Over-the-Rhine park to enjoy the sights, the sounds, the tastes and the community that were part of the one-of-a-kind event.
But even while most flocked to social media to praise the beauty of this year's performances, the question has to be asked: Was it better than last year's show?
"It has been incredible, we really couldn't have asked for anything better," said Meghan Berneking, communications manager for the Cincinnati Symphony Pops Orchestra. "You know, every year we can just imagine this will get bigger and better."
WCPO talked to attendees, organizers and those who performed to find out what made this year's event special and different compared to the inaugural performance in 2013.
"The ticketing was new this year -- that seemed to work very well," said Berneking who admitted with change comes a few road blocks. "There are always some issues with ticketing, but overall it was very positive."
It's never too early to start thinking about next year, though. What's in the works? Is is true that the "show must go on"?
Organizers said they plan to meet with sponsors in the coming months about the future of LumenoCity. That question is especially relevant considering the uncertainty surrounding Music Hall due to issues concerning paying for much-needed renovations.
However, conductor John Morris Russell seems positive there will be a show in 2015 and likely beyond that.
"Once all the dust settles after this event, I'm sure we've got some glorious things in the future," he said, crediting the residents of the city for supporting LumenoCity and the symphony.
"All of these forces can come together and people love it," he said. "So many people say the performing art are passé, but no, they're alive and well and living here in Cincinnati."

In this paper we show tightness of the Berger-Tung (BT) sum-rate bound for a new class of quadratic Gaussian multiterminal (MT) source coding problems dubbed bi-eigen equal-variance with equal distortion (BEEV-ED), where the L Ã L source covariance matrix has equal diagonal elements with two distinct eigenvalues, and the L target distortions are equal. Let K(K < L) be the number of larger eigenvalues, the BEEV covariance structure allows us to connect K i.i.d virtual Gaussian sources with the L given MT sources via an L Ã K semiorthogonal transform whose rows have equal Euclidean norm plus additive i.i.d. Gaussian noises, resulting in the two sets of sources being mutually conditional i.i.d. By relating the given MT source coding problem to a generalized Gaussian CEO problem with the K virtual sources as remote sources and the L MT sources as observations, we obtain a lower bound on the MT sum-rate, and show its achievability by BT schemes under the equal distortion constraints. Our BEEV-ED class of quadratic Gaussian MT source coding problems subsumes both the positive-symmetric case considered by Wagner et al. and the negative-symmetric case. Other examples, including a subclass of sources with BE circulant symmetric covariance matrices and equal distortion constraints, are also provided to highlight tightness of the sum-rate bound.

Rep. Labrador: President Letting Immigrants 'Suffer' Because He Wants Comprehensive Solution
CREDIT: AP/ John Miller
A House Republican suggested Wednesday that the President is preventing immigration reform from taking place and making undocumented immigrants "suffer" as a result. During a "Conversations with Conservatives" event hosted by the Heritage Foundation, Rep. Raul Labrador (R-ID) told a reporter that in order to fix the issue of family separation through deportations, Congress could "get rid of the waivers," which would allow undocumented immigrants the ability to re-enter the country, but that President Obama was preventing even that possibility.
What we can do is to get rid of the waivers — people who want to leave the country and come back they have to wait in their home country and wait 10 years to 20 years. … We could pass that in this Congress tomorrow, but the Obama administration will not allow that to happen because it's not the full comprehensive bill … The position with this President is that unless he gets everything, he's willing to let people suffer because he wants nothing.
Labrador also stated he wanted to wait on reform because it's "the last issue to me":
We should deal with all the areas of immigration that are broken, and I would even deal with the 11 million, but that's a last issue to me … There was overwhelming support for the idea of doing nothing this year, in 2014. I've seen some reports reports today in the media that the majority of the people were okay with the immigration principles, but that's just not true … I do think we need to address the issue, but I think when we take back the Senate in 2014, that one of the first things we should do next year after we do certain economic issues, I think we should address the immigration reform issue. The President has a year to prove to us that he willing to actually enforce the law … This administration is protecting labor unions. Until we have that trust, it would be a mistake to move forward on immigration reform.
On Tuesday night, Labrador went so far as to call for House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) to lose his speakership if he brings the bill to a vote this year.
Labrador's proposed fix seems aimed at a federal ban on immigrants returning to the country, who have overstayed their visas for more than a year. Those immigrants are prevented from coming back to the United States anywhere between three to 20 years. In a few cases, some immigrants can even be permanently banned from re-entry. But it's unclear how permission for undocumented immigrants to return to the country would stop their "suffering" so long as they remain subject to deportation.
Undocumented immigrants want a way to have permanent roots in the United States. At least 57 percent of Americans saying that they would support a way for undocumented immigrants to legally live in the United States. Almost 90 percent of undocumented immigrants expressed interest in applying for citizenship if allowed. And the vast majority of undocumented immigrants have family members who are U.S. citizens. What's more, citizenship would allow immigrants to boost the economy and create jobs.

SteamPowerer.com has S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl (PC) for $5 download. Features an "immersive plot featuring conspiracy and intrigue with numerous twists and over 8 different endings."
Deal has expired
Too bad this game doesn't have the main boss as Vladdy Putin, and one of the weapons is a pineapple that you can stick up his donkey.
So, it has 9 different endings?
A bit aged, kinda buggy, but good. Really good shooter, RPG. Lasts a good 40hrs plus...and then there's the multi playthrus to get the different ending. Worth $5, no brainer. Has a good sequel, too.

Two set to graduate from drug court in Barre
BARRE Two participants will graduate Monday from Adult Drug Treatment Court.
The Washington County criminal court said the graduation for the two, whose names have not been released, will be held at the court in Barre.
The treatment court enables people involved in the criminal justice system who have an identified substance abuse and/or mental health problem to go through an alternative program that includes intensive case management, treatment and support. The court is designed to help reduce recidivism and further involvement with the criminal justice system and has been proven to accomplish this goal nationwide. The process can take a year or more for participants to complete.
The treatment court is a collaboration of the criminal court and Central Vermont Substance Abuse Services.MORE IN This Just In

Pre-Game Mania: Artsy Local Ad Man Makes Good!
I just got the missive below from invaluable local citizen Kerri Harrop, concerning the REAL draw of Super Bowl Sunday: the commercials.
I am still totally fascinated by the culture surrounding Super Bowl advertising. It's like a debutante ball for the companies that earmark their ad dollar budgets for today's extravaganza. A tremendous effort is made to put the best face forward during each precious second aired.
My friend Russell Bates makes commercials. Years ago, when he and his wife lived in Seattle, he directed a bunch of music videos. Since moving back to L.A., he has spent a lot of time directing TV ads and I am sure you have seen some of them. Like Russ, they are clever and smart. He is a funny and talented man and I was very happy to learn that he has directed not one but TWO commercials that will run during today's game.
The first offering from Master Bates is an ad is for Michelob Ultra Amber, a beer that I do not condone, no matter how great the commercial is.( I think everyone is pretty clear on where I stand with regard to beer; if it ain't High Life, don't bother. It's called the Champagne of Beers for a reason.)
The second commercial is for a little old steakhouse called Outback. You may know them by their blooming onion. I actually sampled my very first blooming onion this past summer, while in Terre Haute, Indiana. It was disgustingly delicious.
Anyway, I'm very proud of my friend Russ today and would like to encourage you to voice your approval of his wares, should they turn you on. The media giants at USA Today will tally votes in an online poll of today's best Super Bowl ads. You can find it here here.
For a look at some of the stuff that Russ has already done, check his website. You Seattle residents should scroll down the page and view the spots that were made for the Symphony, featuring the likes of Mark Arm, Steve Turner, and the boys of Gas Huffer. I think you'll be very amused.
Congratulations, Russell Bates! And go, 'Gulls!!!!!!

Springfield Oregon Christmas Parade
Celebrate "TWELVE DAYS OF CHRISTMAS" in Springfield on December 5th
The Springfield Community Parade Corporation non-profit organization will present the annual community parade "Twelve Days of Christmas" on December 5th at 1 pm in downtown Springfield Oregon. This year marks the 63rd Annual Springfield Christmas Parade!
There is a reason that Springfield can be proud of its 63 year heritage in the annual community parade. The community response is always awesome. Our "community" spans the range from community members in their parade entries to our volunteers who plan and present the parade to our corporate and individual sponsors and partners. It is the biggest annual event in Springfield – and the longest running one! We haven't missed a year in the parade's entire 63 year history.
Springfield's 63rd parade theme is "Twelve Days of Christmas". Each year, the committee members consider different possibilities for a theme, selecting a theme to be one that our entries can imagine and then envision as they make their plans. This year's theme offers numerous images that can be part of the kick-off to everyone's holiday season in the Springfield community.
The 63rd year's Grand Marshal is a choice to honor a group of folks who have honored and served our regional community as well as our country. The Native American Veterans Color Guard have been selected to serve as our Grand Marshal. Their members are 14 veterans. Not only have they served our country in active service many years ago, but they continue to serve in the community. On numerous occasions throughout the past several years, the Veterans Color Guard has presented the colors at ceremonies, pow-wows, memorials, and events, just to name a few. They represent veterans of all branches of the service, those who came home and those who did not. They honor all the sacrifices of veterans and their friends and families with their continued and distinguished service and commitment to our community. We are excited and grateful to have The Native American Veterans Color Guard as our 2015 Grand Marshal.
And, of course, through SUB's elves and their secret contacts, Santa Claus has promised to visit the parade again this year. He will escort the finish of the parade and usher in our holiday season.
Other items of interest
Brief parade history:
Through 63 years, the Springfield Christmas Parade has gained the notable reputation of being the "oldest and coldest" (and sometimes "wettest") parade in Oregon. There have been some years of sunny and dry weather, but so far the "damper and frostier" reputation still maintains.
The parade began in 1953 with the majority of the floats being handmade and a "family affair". Through the years, floats and decorated cars, lots of decorated horses and other animals, along with the marching units of bands and dancers, and more, have all entered in the community spirit of our awesome parade. Handmade and family entries are still as much a part of the parade today as the more detailed and fancier floats. In 1954, "Santa and Reindeer to Visit Springfield" made the headlines of the local paper. In 1955, there were 26 floats – compared to recent numbers of almost 100 entries. The parade has continued consistently each year all the way up to today.
Many community efforts have focused on keeping the parade up and going through the years. Previously staged by the Springfield Chamber of Commerce, since 2003, the parade has been the yearlong project of the Springfield Community Parade Corporation's Parade Board and Committee of volunteers. It opens the holiday season in Springfield for our local families, friends and all the children on the first Saturday in December, typically to a crowd of 8-10,000 lining the parade route.
The Tuba Carol Concert will hold its annual free concert at noon on parade day, scheduled to be held at Two Rivers/Dos Rios Elementary School, 1084 G Street in Springfield.
Entry information for this year's parade is available on our website. Entry deadline is November 15th. www.springfieldchristmasparade.org. If you have any questions, please call 541.988.0955.
We are always looking for new volunteers. If you would like to volunteer to help with the parade, please contact us at 541.988.0955.
We look forward to another fabulous community parade this 63rd year! Thank you, Springfield, for the honor and privilege of being able to bring the parade to you every December. Happy 63rd!

Marilee Woodrow, President and Parade Chairman

News Port Recall: Devil's in the Details
posted by May 24 at 13:10 PMon
Good Government activist Chris Clifford is going back to KC Superior Court today to defend the language of his Pat Davis recall proposal.
Shall Pat Davis, Port of Seattle Commissioner, be recalled from public office because, as alleged by King County registered voter, Christopher Clifford:
1. Commissioner Davis committed an act of malfeasance when she signed an agreement to provide Mic Dinsmore, an outgoing Port of Seattle employee, with a gift of approximately $239,000 of public money outside of his employment contract.
2. Commissioner Davis committed an act of malfeasance by signing an October 10, 2006 memorandum addressed to the former chief executive officer of the Port, which had the potential effect of obligating the Port of Seattle to pay monies not voted on or approved by Port of Seattle Commissioners at a regularly scheduled public hearing.
3. Commissioner Davis committed acts of malfeasance by voting in executive session on or about January 10, 2006 and June 8, 2006, in violation of the Washington State Open Public Meetings Act (Ch. 42.30 RCW).
4. Commissioner Davis committed an act of malfeasance by knowingly exceeding the purposes for executive session in the Washington State Open Public Meetings Act (Ch. 42.30 RCW) by negotiating and voting on a gift of public money in executive session.
Davis's attorneys have suggested alternative, including striking the word "knowingly" in the 4th point.

"We've always had our lowest moments and our greatest moments together," says Little Big Town's Karen Fairchild. In the past four years, she and bandmates Kimberly Roads, Phillip Sweet and Jimi Westbrook have weathered the critical and commercial failure of their 2002 debut, and the sudden death at 41 of Roads's husband, Steven, the band's lawyer. His funeral, during which Roads unexpectedly joined the others in a song, "was such a powerful moment of unity," says Sweet, 32. They retrenched, and now tough times have seemingly been banished—"It's like a day spa instead of boot camp," cracks Roads, 37. And there is plenty to celebrate: two CMA nods (keyed to the success of their '05 CD The Road to Here, with its hit single "Boondocks") and the hush-hush May wedding of Fairchild, 39, and Westbrook, 35, in a pal's Nashville backyard. Though they didn't let word out till July, "we didn't keep it secret, we kept it private," stresses Fairchild. "I had on flip-flops and blue jeans, and she wore a pretty little white dress and cowboy boots," Westbrook recalls. "I wore them to do a show later," Fairchild says, "and Jimi goes, 'Honey, you got your wedding boots on!' It was redneck!"

Recycle old PCBs to make a case for stashables.
In our consumer society, most materials are discarded once they become old or obsolete. Many of these rejects have a hidden beauty that can be brought back to life in a new form; discarded or never-used printed circuit boards (PCBs) fall into this category.
A consequence of the high-tech bubble bust of a few years ago is that millions of PCBs were never used and are now resting in warehouses, waiting for a new lease on life. This project shows how to make a 2-drawer case and "veneer" it with recycled PCBs. The PCBs' coppery traces look like metallic petroglyphs, and the case looks great in any modern living room or office. Depending on the size, the case can hold precious papers, jewelry, stationery, pens and pencils, or CDs.
The face of the cabinet still has exposed plywood that needs to be covered with contrasting wood in order to frame the printed circuit boards. To increase strength and durability, choose a light but hard wood; maple is a good choice. Cut the wood into strips to fit the exposed plywood, then use wood glue to adhere the strips to the plywood.

Dr Sam was speaking ahead of the Otago School of Physical
Education's symposium, The Future of Sport in Small Nations,
where researchers, policy-makers, administrators and sports
journalists will examine the challenges countries with small
populations face in the world of international sport.
If New Zealand wanted to continue to punch above its weight
as it did at the London Olympics - where it came fourth in
the overall medal count relative to population - it would
need to invest more money to keep talent here, Dr Sam said.
While the most obvious form of the "brawn drain" was the
steady stream of rugby players leaving for Europe and Japan,
New Zealand also faced a tough task keeping its coaching and
high-performance staff.
This would only become more difficult as countries starting
to develop their sport systems, such as India and Brazil, or
"emerging middle powers" France, Italy and Korea, invested
more in sport.
Such countries could, for example, decide to poach New
Zealand's top rowing or Sevens coaching staff.
"If the country and the politicians decide that is a
priority, then certainly there will have to be
ever-increasing amounts of money put into high performance
sports," he said.
"There are only so many medals to go around." Asked how New
Zealand had continued to stay competitive, Dr Sam said Sport
New Zealand would say "narrowed investment" and
"cherry-picking" top sports and athletes had kept New Zealand
ahead of the pack.
"To some extent that has worked, but it is hard to
differentiate between that and the fact that the amount of
money into high performance sport has quadrupled in the last
10 years."
Government funding into sport had grown from $17 million in
2002 to $76 million in 2011-12, he said.
The symposium will be held from November 21-23.

Tikl Me, Elmo
Somewhere between the world of SMS messages and voice calling is the land of two-way push-to-talk technology. Some cell-phone providers have this feature as an option for select phones, which makes your 2012-era cell phone act like a CB radio from the 1970s. Don't get me wrong, I understand there are situations when this is beneficial, but it still makes me laugh to see people using smartphones like walkie-talkies.
If you don't have the push-to-talk (PTT) feature from your cell-phone provider, you can download the free Tikl app from the Android Marketplace. Tikl allows you to use PTT technology with any other users that have Tikl installed on their phones. Because Tikl is available for both Android and iOS, it covers a wide variety of smartphones.
I don't use Tikl very often, but in my limited testing at a softball game, it worked as advertised. My daughter was able to give me her 10–20, and I was able to give her a big 10–4 on her request to play on the swings. Although using Tikl while driving probably is safer than texting, we still don't recommend it. It'd be tough to convince the Smokey that your Android smartphone is really a CB radio.

Short ultrasonic wave pulses
Short ultrasonic wave pulses are used in the process of ultrasonic testing. These wave pulses are in a frequency range of 0.1-15MHz and can sometimes reach up to 50MHz. The testing comprises several ultrasonic inspection equipment or functional units like pulser or receiver, instrumentation transducers, calibration standards and display devices. Ultrasonic inspection finds its application in evaluating materials used in aerospace, automotive and transportation industries.

Practical Task Scheduling Deployment

One of the best things about the UNIX environment (aside from being stable and efficient) is the vast array of software tools available to help you do your job. Traditionally, a UNIX tool does only one thing, but does that one thing very well. For example, grep is very easy to use and can search vast amounts of data quickly. The find tool can find a particular file or files based on all kinds of criteria. It's pretty easy to string these tools together to build even more powerful tools, such as a tool that finds all of the .log files in the /home directory and searches each one for a particular entry. This erector-set mentality allows UNIX system administrators to seem to always have the right tool for the job.
Cron traditionally has been considered another such a tool for job scheduling, but is it enough? This webinar considers that very question. The first part builds on a previous Geek Guide, Beyond Cron, and briefly describes how to know when it might be time to consider upgrading your job scheduling infrastructure. The second part presents an actual planning and implementation framework.

With all the industry talk about the benefits of Linux on Power and all the performance advantages offered by its open architecture, you may be considering a move in that direction. If you are thinking about analytics, big data and cloud computing, you would be right to evaluate Power. The idea of using commodity x86 hardware and replacing it every three years is an outdated cost model. It doesn't consider the total cost of ownership, and it doesn't consider the advantage of real processing power, high-availability and multithreading like a demon.
This ebook takes a look at some of the practical applications of the Linux on Power platform and ways you might bring all the performance power of this open architecture to bear for your organization. There are no smoke and mirrors here—just hard, cold, empirical evidence provided by independent sources. I also consider some innovative ways Linux on Power will be used in the future.Get the Guide

PREVIEWS: "Daredevil," "Uncanny X-Men," & More Marvel Comics On Sale August 3, 2016
Comic Books
After hitting the runway last fall in Milan as part of Moschino's spring 2016 collection, the Powepuff Girls are heading to a Hot Topic near you.
Just as Blossom, Bubbles and Buttercup make their triumphant return to television, the retailer has unveiled a fashion collection inspired by the three heroes of Townsville. The Powerpuff Girls line features three dresses representing each of the little powerhouses — in corresponding blue, pink and green, of course — plus a top and skirt, T-shirt and sweatshirt depicting all three.
Although the city of Townsville would seem more fitting, Cartoon Network and Moschino chose Milan as the venue to unveil their Powerpuff Girls x Jeremy Scott collaboration.
Yes, Blossom, Bubbles and Buttercup graced the runway Thursday during a Fashion Week event, as part of the Moschino Spring 2016 collection. The three pint-sized superheroes could be seen on leggings, a one-piece swimsuit, knitwear tops, a line of bags and more.
This week Marvel released a couple of tie-ins to its big Original Sin event, and DC Comics issued new printings of chapters from its Superman crossover "Doomed." But the weirdest, most unexpected and, oddly enough, most traditionally formatted crossover going right now comes not from the Big Two publishers that invented and perfected the approach, but from IDW, whose Super Secret Crisis War #1 features the heroes and villains from a half-dozen old Cartoon Network series sharing story space.
IDW has done crossover stories before (Infestation, Infestation 2, Mars Attacks IDW), but in the past these have been rather indirect, with the same menaces (zombies, Lovecraftian monsters, the Mars Attacks martians) invading the different realities of its various licensed properties (G.I. Joe, Star Trek, Transformers, etc.). Here the participants all appear in the same book, and even rub elbows in the same panels.
What ties them together is that they all once had shows on Cartoon Network and, um, well, that's about it really, but it's enough to get them all in the same six-issue miniseries issues (plus five one-shot tie-ins that will bring yet more Cartoon Network stars into the fold).
This allows the series to capitalize on the pleasures of two different sorts of crossovers: There's the shared-universe crossover, as when all the DC or Marvel heroes team up (even if these characters don't technically share the same universe), and the inter-company crossover, when characters from various properties that were never meant to meet up do so (Think Batman/Judge Dredd, Archie Meets The Punisher).
Retailing | Hastings Entertainment, which operates a chain of 149 stores that sells books, comics, video games and more, has announced a $21.4 million agreement to merge with two companies owned by Joel Weinshanker, president and sole shareholder of Wizkids parent National Entertainment Collectibles Association; Weinshanker already holds 12 percent of Hastings' outstanding shares.
"NECA is a significant supplier of movie, book and video game merchandise and collectibles to the Hastings superstores, and we've had a close and growing business relationship with Mr. Weinshanker over the last decade," John H. Marmaduke, Hastings' chairman and CEO, said in a statement. "Mr. Weinshanker, through his affiliation with the estates of Marilyn Monroe, Elvis Presley and Muhammad Ali, and his company's management of Graceland, is one of the leading drivers of the lifestyle industry, and we believe Hastings' business will continue to benefit from our relationship with him and NECA." Marmaduke will retire with a $1.5 million cash payout once the merger is approved. The announcement was followed by press releases from two New York City law firms that say they're investigating the plan on behalf of Hastings shareholders. [press release]
It sounds like some interesting announcements were made at the ComicsPRO meeting over the weekend in Atlanta, and one that is already hitting the streets is that IDW Publishing will release an entire line of comics based on Cartoon Network properties.
"Many of these Cartoon Network shows have only grown in popularity since they originally aired," Chris Ryall, IDW's chief creative officer and editor-in-chief, said in the press release, "and we're excited to be able to offer new iterations of the characters in comic-book form alongside both our planned reprint material and also some new animated ventures Cartoon Network has planned, too. There's a wealth of fun properties to play with here, and we've already got some unique things in mind for them."
The starting lineup will include The Powerpuff Girls, Ben 10, Dexter's Laboratory, Samurai Jack, Johnny Bravo and Generator Rex. Many, if not all, have been made into comics before: DC released 70 issues of its Powerpuff Girls comic and 34 issues of Dexter's Laboratory, in addition to a Cartoon Network Action Pack anthology, which featured many of the network's other characters (like DC Entertainment, Cartoon Network is a subsidiary of Time Warner), and Del Rey published a Ben 10 graphic novel that was written by Peter David and illustrated by Dan Hipp. So there is an interesting back catalog to draw on in addition to new material.
An IDW spokesperson told ICv2 that the first release in the new line will be a Powerpuff Girls comic this fall.
Don't ask me how I missed this when it originally came out years ago, but I recently discovered this fun little webcomic Powerpuff Girls: Battery Powered by a writer using the non-de-plum Northstar and artist Christine Larsen.
While it's described by the artist as a "demented spoof off" of the classic Cartoon Network series, younger readers should be warned it contains violence, nudity and a heaping helping of crudeness. Of course, those who grew up during the original airing of the Powerpuff Girls are probably old enough — 18, please! — to enjoy this.
Although the chances of the creators being able to officially publish this are somewhere between slim and none, I applaud the attempt for creators to revisit work they're familiar with and revise it for their own needs, a la League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. Plus, I've always wondered what those three girls would be like all grown up.
Go over to DrunkDuck to read these comics, but be warned: 18 and older.

Becky lost her crutch.
This past Sunday I was preaching on Romans 2:11 which says God is no respecter of persons. I was informed last week that this is not true of Governor Christine Gregoire and the State of Washington.
Let me get this straight -- the Gov respects people and that's bad? Umm, God, are you sure you want this guy speaking for you? Can't you do better?
hutchie really wants a dick in his ass, and it's eating him up inside!!!
Put on your knee pads and start praying!
put on your knee pads and start sucking those dicks through the glory holes.. Glory be to God...
I was informed that a homosexual is part of the Commission on African American Affairs so I can forget about fighting the issues of racism and homosexuality.
God he's such a fucking hypocrite. If he was white, he'd probably say "I was informed a negro ..."
The radiance of his internal hatred of this true self is starting to resonate further each day, especially when he opens his mouth. As a gay "form catholic-by-tradition" black guy, I pray that God opens his mind and he'll be seen walking into SteamWorks Seattle and caught in a gloryhole.
Can someone do a search of all of these e-mails for the proportion of "Pray for me" to "Pray for [anyone that is not His Hutchness]"? I have a feeling it would be a very large number, edging up on infinity.
WTFU, church members: your pastor is a narcissist.
What is it with this guy and kneepads? It's like an obsession or something.
The NAACP is part of the white power structure. Yeah, sure it is. You're losing it, Hutchie-poo.
I feel like I missed a critical part of the story - I thought Hutch was "discriminated against" at Mt. Si High School because he was homophobic, not because he was black.
Is there a commission for that?
I was informed that even though she is head of the Commission on African American Affairs for the state of Washington she does not work for black people. She works for Governor Chris Gregoire because hers is not an elected position, she is a gubernatorial appointee.
Not bad spin, but I'll bet the actual exchange was something like:
Hutch: This is an African-American affair, and I'm an African-American! You work for me!
Jenkins: No, sir, I work for the governor.
Hutch: Don't you work for the people who elected you?!
Jenkins: The commission chair is not an elected position, sir. I was appointed by the governor.
Welcome back, Eli. You were missed.
oh my gawd. there is so much about this post that pisses me the fuck off!! I don't even know where to start.....
Hey I hear they are being booted from Lake Wa. High. Last day is Aug. 24th. Now they are trying to negotiate a lease on a commercial building in Bothell. But wait!!!! First he needs his prayer warriors to give him $2.6 million for tenant improvements, transitional funds(?), and past due pastor salaries. So far the PW's have only raised $300,000. Good luck!
supersam @13, plenty of juicy data. Can you cite sources?
@14 Yep. Just go to the antioch website for details. www.abchurch.org
If Antioch is unable to secure a lease in a commercial building, which of the following excuses will Rev. Hutch invoke?
1. Racism
2. Anti-religious bigotry
3. The Left-wing homosexual conspiracy
4. God's Will
6. The financial apathy of his followers
7. None of the above
they're too busy going broke from buying microsoft stock on a high (at his homophobic behest) to fund his 2.6 mil debts and other needs. hah!
Comte, don't forget intrusive government regulation (you know, for insisting that he have exit doors and bathrooms and safe electricity - stuff like that)
"I was informed by Rosalund Jenkins"
Gee, wouldn't it be nice if we had a progressive newpaper with "reporters", who could actually call Ms Jenkins up and ask her about this alleged converstion with Hutcherson? What if these "reporters" could REPORT back to us with her response therby furthering the conversation?
Why it could even be a job, someone might even get paid do it!

NORMAN, Okla. - Back when he was coaching at Oklahoma, Barry Switzer was asked during one of his weekly news conferences about the challenge of facing Nebraska's option offense.
"It's not the alignment," Switzer said, "it's the alignees."
Current Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops is saying the same thing about Texas Tech and its spread offense. The Red Raiders have passed their previous three opponents silly, winning all three games to get to No. 24 in the country and within one victory of the Big 12 South title.
Stoops says the success enjoyed by Texas Tech coach Mike Leach is proof that the spread offense is alive and well.
"I think it's a testament to Mike sticking to his guns," he said. "When all the reporters and everybody out there was wanting to say the spread offense is finished, everyone's caught onto it, he's proven that wrong.
"I say it a lot - everybody has a different system and they're all good. I think it always gets down to executing. It still gets down to how you play and how they play."
Leach brings the Red Raiders to Norman on Saturday night, with the Big 12 South title going to the winner. He used this offense at Oklahoma in 1999 as the Sooners' offensive coordinator. With Josh Heupel at quarterback, Oklahoma went 7-5 to end a string of five straight nonwinning seasons.
Leach then left to take the Texas Tech job and Stoops began pressing for a better ground game. This year, the Sooners have a 1,000-yard rusher in Quentin Griffin.
Texas Tech (8-4, 5-2 Big 12) makes no pretenses about how it will attack. Kliff Kingsbury threw 60 passes in a 42-38 victory over Texas last week and is averaging 53 passes per game.
Leach has made only minor changes to the offense in his three years at Tech, Stoops said.
"What you see, though, is a number of years with the quarterback and receivers together," Stoops said. "They believe and know their system well, just from doing it over and over now."
Kingsbury, in his fourth year as Tech's quarterback, is No. 4 on the NCAA Division I career passing chart with 11,867 yards. He has thrown for 4,455 yards and 41 touchdowns this season, with 10 interceptions in 634 attempts. He had 473 yards and six TDs in the upset of Texas last week.
"There's nothing that he hasn't seen, probably a couple times," said co-defensive coordinator Mike Stoops. "He's just so familiar with what they do."
Fourth-ranked Oklahoma (9-1, 5-1) is familiar with Tech as well. The Sooners have gotten the better of the Red Raiders each year that Leach has been coach, winning 27-13 in 2000 and 30-13 last year.
The difference this week, Bob Stoops said, will boil down to which team makes more plays.
"We have played very good defense the last two years we've played them," he said. "We've been in the right spots, broke on the ball well, challenged receivers, blitzed well and got pressure."
"But every year you have to earn it again. We don't take it for granted that everything just stays the same. We've got to go be on top of our game and be able to do that again, and our players understand that."

Twenty six inches sounds like a decent sized screen. In a standard set, I would be satisfied with 26. But the picture format on a flat screen either elongates a picture to fit the long, narrow screen, which distorts the picture, or in the other format, cuts down the picture size to 21 inches. In standard tv mode, the screen is really 21, not 26 inches. Using some dvd's, the usable picture screen is reduced to a 14 inch high ribbon with broad black bands top and bottom. So even though I guess the price and picture quality (very crisp hi-def) indicate a reasonable value, I'm overall displeased and will have to buy another set for my living room. This set will be relegated to the bedroom. I guess part of my disappointment is based on my inexperience with flat screens, so I did not understand the limitations of the technology and how the usable picture would measure up. First time flat screen buyers beware: look at the display models carefully and remember that the store has VERY good reception- not like your cable at all.
this tv is not being made any more so if you buy one like i did and it breaks like mine be ready to be with out your tv for about 5 weeks. also it not even a year old
Owned an earlier model of the same brand (same size). It was destroyed by a lightening hit so this was a replacement. It doesn't even come close to the first model. Picture is not as good, when setting up the autoscan, the digital scan freezes after 70% load. It finds digital channels but won't display them. Remote will not change channels unless you key the channel number directly. Audio is out of sync with video periodically. This set will be returned shortly.
This product is complete garbage. Does not turn on at times, the volume does not adjust well at all and eventually you will have no control of the volume or channels what so ever. There is a reason that this television is so cheap.... If you are fortunate enough to have some warranty left on this product, you will have to jump through hoops and send it away to California for repairs (which will take about a month and a half). AVOID THIS PRODUCT!
I bought the tv about a year and a half ago. Everything seemed to be going fine with it and just the other day I tried to turn the tv on and the standby light stayed on. I went ahead and tried to manually turn the tv on and the standby light continues to stay on, the screen must have went out. I would not recommend this tv or brand to anyone due to the fact the quality only lasts a short time and it is not worth the money.
---slow response time
---remote controller worse than a $1 universal remote
---no vga
---does not go to a channel number even though channel is present
---does not show some channels which are present
---no manual tuning
I bought mine almost a year ago and I just use it for my computer monitor and it works fine for that. It stopped changing channels which is still ok to me cause like I said, I use it as my computer monitor. I removed the back panel and inspected parts and found that the IR chip was burned out preventing channels from changing at all.
i have had this produt for over a year and have already returned it. the remote did not work on the first t.v and i'm having the same problem now. i have to get up everytime i want to change the volume. i cannot program this t.v to my direct eitherbecause we cannot find the code that matches. just not a good look by ilo.
My husband and I were given this TV for Christmas and experienced difficulty immediately. We had to spend a lot of time setting up the set, after a few months the remote "froze" and wouldn't change the channels. Last week, the remote completely stopped working. We have attempted to unplug the unit, consult the instruction manuel many times looking for a troubleshoot that would work. Nothing, nadda, zip, nothing. The remote will occasionally turn the set on, but nothing else. It doesn't work manually either. We are very disappointed in this product.
I bought this to use as a monitor for my computer and did not like the limited resolution, but as a HDTV goes this one is great for the price. It is a Walmart brand Sylvania, and the quality is great! Buy it for a TV and you will be OH SO HAPPY!! That's a promise!
My new TV is all I expected, and thanks to Wal-Mart, the price was right.
nice very nice for price
great picture, good sound. Was shipped to my Wal-Mart store within 3 days.
I purchased the 32 inch Ilo TV as well. I would not recommend any one to buy this product. It has the same problems as the 22 inch. The remote will only turn it off & on part of the time and none of the other functions work on the remote or manually on the TV. It work great for one year just long enough for the store return to run out. Luckly I did purchase the 2 year plan with it or I would have just been out $698.00 bucks not including tax. What a waste of my hard earned money. The only posative thing I have to say about this product is it does have great picture features. I am very dissapointed in this product.
This product is better than I thought. The sound is better than my old analog tv (a 27in), although I don't hear much difference between the choices of sound. The picture quality is good. It is just the right size for my small apartment. The controls are simple. I only hope it lasts longer than a couple other reviews stated, (like a few years). The digital over the air broadcasts come in much clearer than the analog ones do where I am.
I was looking for a thin digital capable TV at least 7" thick to fit in my daughters new entertainment center. I wanted all the new bells and whistles that were available and I got that and more from this TV. My Daughter and I were very happy with this purchase.
This TV turned out to be a big mistake, a $600 one.
In 8 months the HD tuner stopped working, we bought a separate tuner then in 15 months the entire set will not turn on either with the remote or manually.
Since this TV was a gift to my Mother my review will be limited. It was very easy to hookup, everything worked well except for the color which changes and get dull after changing the channels.
I had the same problem, I lost control of the volume and all other functions of the remote and the buttons on the tv, all I could do is turn the tv on and off, what a waste of money.
When I turn on the TV I can only hear the sound, but cannot view the image, this happens everyday, I don't recommend this brand.

This condo is located on the gulf side of Midnight Pass Road so no need to cross a busy street to get to the beach. Approximatly 500 feet there is deeded access to the white sands of Crescent Beach. It is also conveniently located just down the block from the marina if you wish to rent a boat or jet skis for the day or any other water sport activity you would like to do it can be planned right there for you. Also across the street from the condo are great restaurants and shops.
This condo is a two story condo with two lanais each overlooking the heated pool and beautiful grounds at Midnight Sea complex. Two bedrooms on the upper level with the master having the upper lanais and queen bed. The other bedroom has two twin beds. The main level has a new pull-out sofa that sleeps two with a separate dining area off the newly remodeled kitchen. The lower level has a non-conforming third bedroom with king sized bed, TV, phone.

This condo does have secured internet wifi.
Midnight Sea Complex is located in the popular vacation destination of Siesta Key just 70 miles south of Tampa International Airport and Busch Garden and 120 miles away from Orlando's Disney World and other theme parks.
Keywords: Condominium
We purchased our condo after we came to the realization our kids love this vacation so much we can't talk them into going anywhere else!
The Owner purchased this condo in 2009
We love Siesta Key! It is the only relaxing vacation we can take with our five small children. We just sit in the sand while our kids play. There is so much to do nearby if we need a change from all the sun. Aquariums, museums, restaurants, Busch Gardens, Walt Disney World the list goes on!
Very close to the beach, step right outside the lanai and the pool is right there, walk across the street and there are fantastic restaurants and shops, walking distance from the condo is the marina where we rent our boat for the day. This condo is unique having a garage to park your car. The washer and dryer are nice to have for your own use making it easier to do the wash when you want to. The condo has beach toys, boogie boards, skim boards, and two adult size beach cruisers and two child bikes for your use.
My husband and I brought our three young boys to Midnight Sea for a week in April. We have said several times since we've been back that it was the best vacation we've ever had. Our goal was to have NO itinerary, no schedule - just lazy beach days. We succeeded in that goal! The condo is a VERY short walk to the beach, so if we needed to run back to grab something, it was not a big deal. The unit was SO clean, beautifully decorated, and had everything we needed. Our nine-year-old loved having the non-conforming bedroom to himself. Everything went off without a hitch as far as the condo rental went. We stopped at Costco on our way to Siesta Key (about 10 minutes from the condo), stocked up, and ate most of our meals in which was a huge cost saver (and sanity-saver as going out to eat with three boys isn't all that pleasant). :)
Thank you Peggy and family for sharing your beautiful Florida home with us. We hope to stay at Midnight Sea again!!
We spent a great week at Siesta Key. The listing perfectly described the unit. We couldn't believe how clean it was! Everything we could imagine was provided for us...and then some! We appreciated the beachchairs, water toys and boogie boards. The washer and dryer were perfect, too. The 5 minute walk to the beautiful and amazing beach was just fine for us! The beach and water were the best we've ever enjoyed! Clean and soft. We would most definitely return! Check out Turtles and Phillipi Creek for dinner. Peggy was just wonderful to work with as she continually answered any questions we had.
My family had a wonderful spring break in Siesta Key. The condo was spacious and well stocked for a family of 6. We played at the beach and swam in the warm pool. It was a better location than the chaotic condos and hotels on the north end. The beach bikes were well used as a way for a short get away for the kids to venture to turtle beach. The condo is clean and we would recommend this to our friends and family.
We just completed another wonderful visit to Siesta Key. This was the first time that we had stayed at this facility and I must say that the condo was exceptional! It is beautifully decorated, extremely clean, and the area is the perfect balance of family friendly yet peaceful and relaxing. The condo is full of amenities to accommodate everyone from the grandchildren to us as grandparents! For those who have not been to that part of Siesta Key, the beach there is beautiful and serene. The shells were bountiful and the grandchildren loved seeing the dolphins just offshore every evening at sunset! Thanks so much for a wonderful time! We will definately be back!
My family and I had an incredible visit to Siesta Key.
The Condo was perfect for our stay. It was
extremely close to the beach which really helps
when you have a lot of little ones who don't like to
walk far. The place was loaded with everything we
could possibly need. We can't wait to get back next
year! Thank you so much for sharing your place
with us! The Boedefeld Family
Location,location,location. Short and easy access to
the beach consistently rated as #1. Pool located
just outside the door/lanai. Stores, P.O.,
restaurants, marina, and sports rental nearby. This
is an attractively decorated, comfortable, very clean
and very well equipped family friendly condo. We
especially appreciated the little extras e.g. board
games, bulky beach related equipment and bikes
for the grandchildren. It was an added convenience
to have the garage to park the car inside and a
washer and dryer. The third bedroom and bath are
a nice getaway for teenagers or grandparents. We
want to return.

No Cook Vanilla Ice Cream
Total Time
Prep 10 mins
Cook 30 mins
This recipe came with an RCW Ice cream freezer bought in 1989. It has been a family favorite ever since! This makes approx. four quarts of ice cream.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 4 eggs
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 tablespoons vanilla
- 1⁄2 pint whipping cream
- 2 (14 ounce) cans sweetened condensed milk (Eagle Brand)
- 1 1⁄2 quarts whole milk
- 1⁄4 teaspoon salt
- Combine eggs, cream sugar, salt, and vanilla in bowl and mix thoroughly with mixer.
- Pour into ice cream freezer bowl, add the sweetened condensed milk and stir well.
- Add enough whole milk to go to the fill line on your ice cream freezer bowl and stir.
- Follow the directions on your ice cream freezer to freeze the ice cream.

I had to deviate from the recipe. Now that pasteurized eggs are available, I see no reason to play Russian Roulette with salmonella. That is my change. Having said that, the ice cream started out fabulous and only got better the next morning after seasoning in the deep freeze. I am thinking o af lower carbohydrate version. I hope to report on that in the coming weeks.
This is the easiest recipe ever. I use 6 eggs, 1/2 vanilla bean and 3 Tbsp of vanilla. My son the self proclaimed " Ice Cream Bandit" can't get enough of it, I made on Thanksgiving for first time with Oreo Cookies, second batch had expresso powder, kaluha, oreo and almond roca pieces. Needless to say it didn't last! Making Egg nog now, just replaced milk with a quart of egg nog added 7tbsp whipped vodka and a shake of cinnamon/nutmeg! Can't wait!

The July 2016 Eurekahedge Report contains qualitative and quantitative analyses on the industry's assets flows and performance over the past month, with a special feature on key trends in European hedge funds and UCITS hedge funds.
The Eurekahedge Hedge Fund Index was up 0.63% in June while underlying markets as represented by the MSCI World Index fell 1.38% over the same period. A weak global macroeconomic outlook coupled with strong headwinds in the aftermath of Brexit proved to be a challenging environment for managers.
Hedge funds successfully traded their way around an overwhelming month in June and were up 0.63% while underlying markets as represented by the MSCI World Index lost 1.38% during the month. A number of managers had lowered their overall risk exposure in the lead up to Brexit, and were quick to reverse their positions and capitalise on winning trends that emerged subsequently such as the rally in the yen and emerging currency pairs vis a vis US dollar; and short positions in the pound which declined to historic lows.
The Eurekahedge FX Hedge Fund Index tracks the performance of dedicated currency investing hedge funds in the spot, futures and forward markets utilising both systematic and discretionary overlays and investing across all of major, minor and exotic currency pairs. Historical returns for the index along with constituent details can be accessed here.
The Eurekahedge FX Hedge Fund Index was up 0.10% in June in what turned out to be a volatile month for global currencies. Underlying managers reported losses on their long USD versus emerging market currency pairs' positions in the earlier part of the month as disappointing US non-farm payroll data pushed back expectations of a summer rate hike in the US. Short positions in the Rand proved to be costly for managers as South Africa avoided an expected ratings downgrade ...
The European hedge fund industry continues to gain traction among investors despite market turbulence dominating the trading landscape since the start of the year. Investor allocations into the industry stood at US$13.4 billion over the last five months of 2016, up US$4.2 billion compared to allocations over the same period last year. Manoeuvring volatile markets has proved to be a challenge with managers posting year-to-date performance-based losses of US$6.8 billion, compared to gains of US$14.3 billion over the same period last year.

Since the onset of the global financial crisis, investors worldwide have grown more cautious in undertaking investments and have increased their demands for underlying investment products and instruments to be monitored by international compliance standards.

Hello thebeesknees92. If you might list the medication(s) that the person has tried, I could add what I believe might be helpfull. Bipolar itself is treated today in two catagories, and often the drugs for Bipolar1 are not always used for Bipolar2. And viceversa. Regards pledge
Hi Pledge, I never heard about Bi-Polar 1 or 2..Very interesting... I will ask
my psych Dr., which do I have..or I can do some Web surfing. Thanks for
the info. Sincerely, D.D.
Hello DD and you are welcome. Have a great weekend now.

There is no perfect answer to that question. I takes a working with your doctor to find out what which meds work for you and produce the side effects (they ALL have side effects) that you can live with.
I have been on many combinations of things. For the moment Viibryd is the best thing in the world for me, but your milage will vary. You may do better on something else or a combination of other things.
Work with your doctors and your therapist and they will help you find what works the best for YOU. What works for one of use may not work for you. The brain is a mysterious place.
Good Luck,

Dear, thebeesknees92, If your not allready a member, Welcome. I think Laurie gave a great answer. And so did another poster about them all being different and sometimes it's trial and error. But I have often asked the very same question. I have chronic back pain, and always ask for medicine that won't cause weight gain. I too take Pristiq as well, and it instantly improved my depression. I am also on Wellbutrin and Lamictal. I've actually lost weight. Not alot, but some. I'm bipolar too, and the Lamictal works wonders for me. I personally speak for myself, but I think it is a wonderful medicine. Best of luck to you, and definately talk to your doctor about all medications and problems you are having. I'm here if you need to talk. Ruthie

My wife of 12 year's struggles with bipolar disorder. Her doctors have tried numerous medication. The depakoat helped her the most but it made her hair fall out. Now she is on effexor and seraquel. She has to cut the seraquel in quarters and take them before bed or she would feel like a zombie. The effexor is the best with the least side effects for her. I hope I was helpful. Hang in there and keep seeing your doctor. Thanks for your time.

A Writer's Voice
So, what is voice, and more specially, how do I find it?
Maybe the place to start is by figuring out what voice isn't. Literary agent Rachelle Gardner says that voice shouldn't be confused with style or technique or branding. It has nothing to do with whether you write in first person or third person. It's not a technical question of writing, but more of emotional one.
Gardner says: "…your writer's voice is the expression of YOU on the page. It's that simple—and that complicated. Your voice is all about honesty. It's the unfettered, non-derivative, unique conglomeration of your thoughts, feelings, passions, dreams, beliefs, fears and attitudes, coming through in every word you write. Voice is all about your originality and having the courage to express it."
The trouble with most writers, and most people, Gardner believes, is that we spend our lives wearing a mask, showing the world a face that is not our own. When it comes time to write with a truly honest, authentic voice, we find it difficult to find that voice inside us. She also believes that because we've been bombarded since infancy by all sorts of media, including books, movies, and television, it's very easy for our writing to sound like something that has come before. Gardner says that finding your voice is "… a process of peeling away the layers of your false self, your trying-to-be-something-you're-not self, your copycat self, your trying-to-sound-a-certain-way self, your spent-my-life-watching-television self. It's like going to psychotherapy, delving deep and allowing the real you to emerge, only in this case you want it to find its way on to the page."
There are no new stories; only unique ways of telling these old stories. And to do that we need to find our voices.
How do you find your own writing voice?
You begin by discovering what you like to write and to read. Anne Lower says she discovered her voice by acknowledging her strengths and interests. By being honest with herself, she came to know exactly what she wanted to write and in the process found her authentic writing voice. Writers life coach Erin Reel recommends reading the competition both new and old. Find out which voices resonate with you.
Daily writing tips says voice is all about choice: "Voice is all about the choices you make: the topic, the story structure, the phrasing, the vocabulary, the details. But there's more to it than that; there's also the passion for the subject matter, and the fortitude of opinion." In other words, the more passionate you are for the subject matter the more your voice will shine through.
You can also find your voice by continuing to write. Anne Lower exhorts us to "Write, write and write some more." Frequent writing allows us to become more comfortable with our thoughts and gives us the courage to express what we really want to say in the way we want to say it. Erin Reel tells us to concentrate on the story we want to tell. Write as many drafts as it takes to get to that authentic voice. Don't worry about editors and agents and contracts while you're writing; just concentrate on the story. Don't think about the business side of writing until the story is done and you have something to share with the world.
Steven Pressfield believes that each type of work requires its own voice, and that the writer's job is to allow that unique voice to serve the work: "To me the trick is getting your own ego out of the way. What voice does the material want? Find that. You the writer are not there to impose "your" voice on the material. Your job is to surrender to the material–and allow it to tell you what voice it wants in order to tell itself."
The keys to finding your authentic writing voice are courage, time, stamina and persistence. Refuse to settle for anything but what is authentic and unique about your writing.
Have you discovered your authentic writer's voice or are you presently on a journey of discovery to find it?

Last week we told you about the SARCOA program called Santa for Seniors.
It's a community service project to help seniors who are truly in need of basic necessities and repairs for Christmas.
SARCOA has a list of qualifying seniors and their very humble "Christmas Wish Lists" on their website.
You can help by logging on and making a purchase or offering a service for one of the needy seniors.
Most of these requests are for simple things like bedroom slippers or a space heater.
The items will be collected the week of December 8th and then distributed to those seniors.
The website is www.sarcoa.org
