Bahrain continues to be shaken by unrest that flared in early 2011 when peaceful protests were violently suppressed by the ruling dictatorship. Part of the repression continues through laws criminalizing online criticism of the ruling family, and a sustained social media attack against those who defend human rights.
The truly committed, heinous online asshat must believe that he or she is really speaking for the silent majority. That each like really represents one percent of the American public. That, deep down, they are not being awful. Of course, if someone really wanted to stand out, they could always try behaving with some degree of decency.

Anthony Loyd, whose coverage of the Syrian conflict has won him several awards, had surgery yesterday to remove bullets from his ankle.

Star Wars: Force Unleashed - New Screenshots
Written Tuesday, May 13, 2008 By Geoff WhiteView author's profile
The moment we have been waiting for has finally arrived.... we have screenshots of the 360 version of Star Wars: The Force Unleashed!! Screens from the Wii were shown a couple of weeks ago, which some sites foolishly put up as 360 ones. Now, after waiting for what seems longer than a Kessel Run, Tron has just put up the 360 screens.
I cannot find the words to describe how much I am looking forward to the game. Let's just say the Force is strong in this one!!

This coming Friday, November 27th, is a big day at Amoeba with another post-Thanksgiving Record Store Day (RSD) on its way. With it comes exclusive releases that span all genres including some really nice hip-hop worth getting. Most of these releases are small run pressings exclusive for RSD at indies stores like Amoeba Music. The growing number of avid hip-hop 45's collectors will be more than pleased with the new seven inch hip-hop pressings that will be available on RSD. Included is a 7" unique pressing of "Egypt, Egypt" b/w "Girls" from friends of Amoeba The Egyptian Lover and Stones Throw Records. Greg Broussard (aka The Egyptian Lover), who earlier this month played both Hollywood and San Francisco Amoeba in-stores in support of his brand new album 1984, said in a pre-instore Amoeblog interview that he will be releasing his anticipated Anthology via Stones Throw next year. It is sure to be a goodie as Peanut Butter Wolf's Stones Throw label never disappoints with its packaging and presentation. This Friday's RSD 7" is proof of this. The limited edition vinyl is described as 7" die-cut "pyramid" shaped white vinyl. Regal pop-up packaging with folding magnetic panels creates a 4-sided, 3-dimensional pyramid.

4) The Fugees Score (Music On Vinyl)

In addition to the two new albums on last week's chart - 12 Step Program (also avail in LP) from longtime LA rap duo People Under the Stairs (PUTS) and fellow longtime indie hip-hop duo Atmosphere's Southsiders (also avail in LP) - new hip-hop albums this week include both Blu's Good To Be Home and this week's number one; The Roots ...And Then You Shoot Your Cousin. This new album, also available in LP format, is the eleventh studio album in 21 years from the Philly formed crew who in more recent years gained mainstream acceptance as Jimmy Fallon's Tonight Show band. The on point Amoeba review of.... Shoot Your Cousin suggests that the new album, the first since 2011's Undun, comes at a much needed point in the Roots' highly public profile to "the band, once more often noted for their musicianship, emcee skills and social consciousness rather than for being Jimmy Fallon's house band," to help them reestablish their street cred, and concluding that, "We'll let The Roots keep their day job, as long as they come back every so often with an album as cool as this one." Clocking in a modest 33 minutes, the ten (technically eleven) track album opens with a song from the late great Nina Simone ("Theme From The Middle Of The Night") and includes such tracks as the lead single "When the People Cheer" (scroll down to see video below). The other chart entry this week is the recently reissued on vinyl from The Fugees Score.

5) MF Doom Mm...Food? (Rhymesayers)
Released earlier this month is the brand new album 12 Step Program (also avail in LP) from longtime LA rap duo People Under the Stairs (PUTS) that has shot straight to number one on the new hip-hop chart this week in their hometown Amoeba. It is the ninth album from the talented pair, comprised of Double K and Thes One, of whom Amoeba.com wrote in the new album review, "The PUTS are aging like the luxury items they are, becoming better and more valuable with age, forever giving the impression that their most fruitful period is always the current one." I concur and for further proof scroll down to see a video clip from the new 12 track 12 Step Program. Similarly the number two new chart entry is from another longtime indie hip-hop act duo Atmosphere. Of this new release from the emcee/production duo of Slug and Ant Amoeba.com accurately writes, "Slug brings that same honesty to his raps about getting older and wiser on Southsiders, a kind of refocusing for Atmosphere. Rather than try to recapture the fury of Atmosphere's youthful early albums, Slug portrays a newfound ability to look outward and upward here." Agreed and the album, a 20 song set, deserves repeated listens to fully absorb all he has to say. Read the full review here.
The organizers of the 2012 Rock The Bells summer festival series have just announced some new additions to this year's stops on the traveling three city, 2-day hip-hop fest. These include DMX (left) and Eve who have now been added to the Bay Area stop, August 25 & 26 at the Shoreline Amphitheater in Mountain View, and Slaughterhouse, French Montana + Red Café, Chief Keef, and Tinie Tempah all been added to the sole East Coast date at Holmdel New Jersey on September 1st & 2nd. Meanwhile for the opening festival tour dates, August 18th and 19th, at the San Bernardino NOS Events Center, the star-studded line-up will now include KRS-One, Xzibit, Hieroglyphics, El-P, Killer Mike, Kid Ink, Machine Gun Kelly, Casey Veggies, I Self Devine, Chief Keef, and Slim da Mobster. The long list of artists for this tour, see flyer down below, also include such acts as Nas, Rza, Slick Rick, Salt N Pepa, Atmosphere, Mix Master Mike, Wiz Khalifa, Kid Cudi, Asap Rocky and Action Bronson.

1) Hail Mary Mallon Are You Gonna Eat That? (Rhymesayers)
Aesop Rock, Rob Sonic and DJ Big Wiz top the charts this week with their deservedly popular collabo, which combines their abrasive Def Jux aesthetic with some fun party vibes.
Hail Mary Mallon represents some of Aesop Rock's strongest material in a minute, and really showcases his talents as a producer through some neck-snapping beats. Aesop Rock and Rob Sonic have got great vocal chemistry, and are local SF-dwellers these days as well. Worth peeping!
2) Beastie Boys Hot Sauce Committee Part 2 (Capitol)
The Beastie Boys continue to prove that they're one of the most universally popular groups in hip hop by coming in second this week after a long run of topping the charts.
Hot Sauce Committee Part 2 is a return to form from To the 5 Burroughs that proves that you can still record a grimy sounding album on a million dollar budget. The sort of raw, playful rap music you've come to expect from these guys.

Earlier this week, the world's first fur coat made from 100 percent male chest hair debuted.
For only £2,499 ($1,634.12), this coat can be yours. The coat features more than one million strands of male chest hair and reportedly took a team of fashion designers over 200 hours to create.
According to The Daily Mail UK, the awesome hairy coat was commissioned by milk drink for men, Wing Co., as a protest against the widespread 'manning-down' of British men, typified by clean-shaven chests and emasculating fashion.
After reading this, so many questions come to mind: Where are the males that donated their chest hairs for this creation? Was this process painful? Did the donors have to grow their chest hairs and then have them plucked? If so, how long did they grow their chest hairs? Did they bathe or shower before donating their chest hairs? Is it water proof?
More importantly, is this sanitary?
I'm sure Michael Ealy wasn't one of the donors -- that's probably the only way I'd consider buying such a coat -- but I have to admit, even though it looks itchy, it might actually be kind of warm. Someone test this coat out and let me know how it feels and smells.

What's worse than losing money to a scammer? Losing more money to another scammer claiming to help you recover from the first one.
Yep; this really happens. It works like this: Con artists contact you because you're on their lists of people who lost money to scams. For a "small fee" or "donation" upfront, they promise to recover the money you lost from a prize scheme, bogus product offer, or some other scam.

Robust processes and teleological language

I consider some hitherto unexplored examples of teleological language in the sciences. In explicating these examples, I aim to show (a) that such language is not the sole preserve of the biological sciences, and (b) that not all such talk is reducible to the ascription of functions. In chemistry and biochemistry, scientists explaining molecular rearrangements and protein folding talk informally of molecules rearranging "in order to" maximize stability. Evolutionary biologists, meanwhile, often speak of traits evolving "in order to" optimize some fitness-relevant variable. I argue that in all three contexts such locutions are best interpreted as shorthands for more detailed explanations which, were we to spell them out in full, would show that the relevant process would robustly converge towards the same end-point despite variation in initial conditions. This suggests that, in biology, such talk presupposes a substantial form of adaptationism. The upshot is that such shorthands may be more applicable in the physical sciences than the biological.

From Our Editors
Behind the pedicure thrones at P'Zazz Hair, Nail & Day Spa, a sprawling mural depicts rural splendor with arching columns in the foreground. But those very columns come to life in the spa at the nearby manicure station. Along with busts of figures from antiquity, these fixtures create a neoclassical ambiance every bit as elegant as the services and results rendered.
Aestheticians perform facials, peels, and body scrubs using PCA products. The team can also primp hair and add color to it, or they can work on nails to make them as attractive as a butterfly that understands chaos theory.

We're packing up to leave for the Outer Banks beaches of North Carolina tomorrow! I'm flying with the kids and my sister Katrina, and then Jared will meet us next week and fly back with us. I've got a bag full of little toys and surprises for Edie and let's hope Dot behaves as well. Henry will be perfectly content sitting with an iPad filled with games and movies. Last year we compiled some 20 great tips for traveling with kids that I'm going to review so I can be fully prepared (reminding myself of #6 constantly) . Wish us luck! Excited to sink my toes into that soft sand and dive into the warm Atlantic at sunset. Have a great one! Here are some links to explore:

Today we're updating a really easy nail polish marbling craft that we first posted about last year. Instead of black and white marbling, we made a summery neon design. They're super easy to make (2 minutes max!), and I love how they turned out. Would make a lovely gift, or an easy way to update your own dinnerware set. Here's how to make them…

In most recent years denim has been all about the distressed look. This year things are shifting a little bit. It's less about distress, and more about… (more…)
A few years ago we tried a new structure for family goals. Instead of doing huge goals we tried to do small, experimental things for just a week like eating vegetarian, going to bed before 10pm, or going on a hike every evening. The idea was to do something for just a week as a kind of test to break out of habits. A few weeks ago we realized we were spending almost every evening in front of the tv. So, for a goal we tried to instead, play a different card or board game every night as a family. I wanted to teach Henry and Edie some new games and have some more quality family time after a long day of work. Here's how it went…

Luxury automakers like Mercedes-Benz and Jaguar have blurred the lines between coupes and sedans with models like the CLS-Class and the XF, respectively, and Audi appears poised to join their ranks with the Sportback concept that debuted at the Detroit auto show. Rumor has it that a production version would slate in the existing Audi lineup as an A7.
The concept follows in the footsteps of models with roof pillars that have been pulled all the way to the back of the car. This eliminates the traditional trunklid you'd find on a sedan, which Audi has replaced with a glass hatch. The front of the concept is instantly recognizable as an Audi thanks to the large rectangular grille and slim headlights.
The Sportback's interior blends traditional Audi controls, like the gear selector and air conditioning buttons, with elements like natural wood trim and a white dashboard that would have little chance of making it to production.
Audi is one of a few automakers making a push into diesel-powered cars, and the Sportback concept features a turbocharged, 3.0-liter V-6 diesel engine. This is the same diesel engine Audi is making available in its Q7 luxury SUV this year.

Design and optimization of 65nm CMOS passive devices which are used in the implementation of a 60GHz Power Amplifier (PA) are presented. The targeted application is the low cost Wireless Personal Area Network (WPAN). A new optimized Radio Frequency (RF)-pad is used to minimize the losses of the PA access. The PA is matched via balun and Transmission Lines (T-Lines). T-Lines ensure both broadband inter-stage matching and biasing. S-parameters and large signal measurement results are demonstrated and compared with electromagnetic simulations. The PA achieves a maximum output power Psat of 7.3dBm with a gain of 8.5dB while consuming 96mA from a 1.2V supply. The active die area of the chip is 0.065mm2. Additionally, innovative technique is adopted in the balun design to improve the balanced-to-unbalanced mode conversion and PA performances.

Ethnically diverse high school contexts present unique social opportunities for youth to form interethnic relationships, but they may also subject students to certain social challenges such as peer ethnic discrimination. With a sample of 1,072 high school students (55% girls; 54% Latino, 20% African American, 14% Asian, 12% White) attending 84 high schools, school context factors that protect students' exposure to peer ethnic discrimination across the high school years were investigated with a three-level hierarchical linear model. Each spring for four consecutive years (grades 9–12), self-reported peer ethnic discrimination, interracial climate at school, and perceived school ethnic composition were assessed. At the school level, objective high school ethnic composition data were collected. Peer ethnic discrimination was found to decline slightly across the high school years. Above and beyond this decline, more positive perceptions of the school interracial climate and both objective and perceived numerical ethnic majority status predicted lower levels of peer ethnic discrimination. Taken together, the results highlight the significance of both objective (e.g., ethnic composition) and subjective (e.g., interracial climate) aspects of the school ethnic context to students' high school social experiences.

The whole "it was just business" defense doesn't really work for me. I'll pass, thanks.
I would like to see Mr. Burgess' record of support and advocacy for gay rights and a woman's right to choose.
Saying you support gay rights & choice in endorsement meetings is one thing but actually having some record you can point to is quite another.(Endorsements from gay people also don't count as a record of advocacy).
I still would have a hard time supporting a local Seattle elected official who knowingly choose to profit from CWA at my expense. Does he have a right to pick his own clients? Sure. Do I have a right as a voter to make inferences about him as my elected leader? Yes. Indeed, it is my responsibility.
Here's a question: what candidates and causes has he donated to? It could be that he took money from CWA and funneled it to pro-gay and pro-choice causes and candidates.
Dammit. Just when I thought I could vote for this guy, this happens.
I'm concerned about Burgess' judgement that he not only took on a client like this, but kept them on for almost a decade. I don't expect to share his values, but I am concerned about his judgement.
@3, I think that's a decent question, but even if he donated every cent to Lambda Legal, his firm still actively helped CWA etc. by writing promo materials for them. You can't cancel that part out. If he'd done something else, something neutral, for them -- say, catered their events -- then not profiting from their business would be more neutral. It's the nature of the services provided that makes it so questionable.
If Burgess were going to appoint Supreme Court justices, or running for state legislature, all this would be a dealbreaker.
But does all of this make much of a difference on the city council? What does he believe on the issues where a single vote might actually make a difference?
A city council seat can be the beginning of a political career. Be careful who you elect dog catcher -- or governor of Texas -- because that person just might be appointing Supreme Court justices on day.
At the presidential level, I'm going to hold my nose and vote for the Dem. At the local level, where my vote carries more weight, I'm not going to support anti-gay, anti-sex, anti-choice candidates. Just not gonna do it.
Weird, I agree with ECB about something.
@1: Absolutely. How you choose to earn your pay says as much about your personal ethics as anything else you do.
burgess was my boss at domain group and i have kept my mouth shut re: past biz involvements because i knew that eventually this would come to light. but in his defense, he is probably the only politician i know firsthand who is actually honest. bottom line is that all $ is dirty $.
It's bullshit. As the founder of a company you don't take on clients with whom you don't agree on very basic issues like civil rights, the right to have a choice, etc.
Imagine what business he would take on as a city council member just because it pays the bills. (Didn't Wills and Nicastro do that?!).
Della is an awfully boring council member and it slays me to vote for him, but I will--unless Burgess pulls some great reversal out of his hat.
An apology for working for a bigoted, hateful, faith-based organization that uses their tax exempt status to lobby against my rights would be a great start.
And this is a great opporunity for McDermott and Podlodwski to say, in light of these issues, that they can't support someone with his values.
Man, this is not going to go over well.
Be sure to read the op-ed that Burgess wrote and that ECB refers to.
A paragraph from it:
"Admittedly, we struggle with a lot of pressing issues. We don't like abortion. We value the sacredness of marriage between a woman and man. We recognize that not everyone agrees with us and we know the law isn't a good mechanism to resolve these issues, but moral persuasion is."
Moral persuasion and the sacredness of marriage between a woman and man. Those two things together scare the shit out of me. Seems his values are much more in line with CWfA than he indicates.
and if he doesn't agree with all his clients (the argument he's using to distance from CWfa) which ones does he agree with?
Here's the list he filed with the state in 2002:
African Wildlife Foundation
American Leprosy Missions, Inc.
Bible League, The
Concerned Women for America
Cooperative for Assistance & Relief Everywhere, Inc.
Elim Christian Services
Food for the Hungry, Inc.
Lance Armstrong Foundation, Inc.
Mercy Corps
Seattle's Union Gospel Mission
Does it also mean he doesn't agree with Lance Armstrong Foundation and American Widlife Foundation, but just opted to take money from them too since he did non-profit consulting work?
Sounds cagey.
None of this changes the fact that David Della is a lying conniving lazy weasel - he ran on one freakin issue 4 years ago (that he would fix city light), then he turned down the opportunity to Chair the Energy Committee! That's all I need to know about the guy.
Oh, and now he claims in his TV ads that he's lowered people's electrical bills....
I'd vote for Larry Craig before I voted for David freakin' Della.
still not sure about this one but appreciate the continuing flow of information.
personally, I appreciate a heterogeneous city council, school board, etc (as long as my liberal values are in the ascendancy) - and may vote for someone other than my favorite candidate if it seems like the resulting mix would otherwise be too homogeneous.
This about Tim Burgess doesn't bother me, so far - though it would be great if he would speak to it personally.
@13, I don't follow your logic. He said he doesn't agree with all his clients - he didn't say he disagrees with all his clients.
I'm sorry but all the comments excusing the work that Tim did for the CWA with the phrase, "Its just business" is total crap. That is the same rational that people use to sell arms to third world nations, or to win no-bid government contracts. What you do, and who you do it for says EVERYTHING about you. Not the least of which is that idea that if you are willing to sell your principals do I really want you to represent me? My answer is no, and hell no.
Now I'm not even sure that I want to support Tina. If she knew what Tim did (and who he took money from) what does that say about her?
The next question for me is who do we want as a write in candidate for city council?
Hey all you stupid fools who can rationalize themselves into half way accepting the ugly, vile, attacks of Concerned Women of America ... how can you do that?
This is the most horrible anti-gay group in America, relentless year after year after year. Raising millions on our backs, repeating the most vile and ugly crap you can imagine in their mailings.
I could not stand to be in the same room with these people, their smell and facial expressions would be so foul.
Let alone take hundreds and hundred of dollars of their blood money.
Your enemies friend is your enemy. Did Burgess do work for Karl Rove? Ask him Erica?
I think Mr. Burgess is a Republican trapped in a City than has no place for Rs.
Not my vote. Not my friends vote. Never.
Years back I got on the CCWA mailing lists - Did
Burgess work on the PR about how gay men ear feces - and deserved the AIDS epidemic as the revenge of God. Did he?
Dan and Erica and Dave Coffman, just what PR materials did Burgess and his company work on? How bad is the stench?
Mr. Yikes -
I hate to break this to you but Lance Armstrong is a pretty conservative guy and a Republican. What he is doing for testicular cancer is great and all but he is probably not very closely aligned with the political values of Seattle either.
The rest of that list looks pretty oriented toward 'Christian values'. The only one on the list that does not seem super religious is the African Wildlife Foundation but then I don't know that forsure either.
Hey, is the Stranger going to go after Seattle school board candidate Sherry Carr because of her employer's role as an arms merchant (Boeing)? Think of all the shady dictators they're selling jets and missiles to.
@20, surely you understand the difference between the culpability of the founder of a small firm taking on morally questionable clients and an employee of a company the size of Boeing working for... well, for Boeing. Presumably the founder gets to choose but keep his position either way; presumably the employee doesn't.
You have a right to vote for Mr. Burgess if you wish to do so. If the information that has come to light does not sway you then do as you will.
I personally feel that this information is very important to me in making a decision about who will represent me. I have a hard time believing that the Stranger is happy about Mr. Burgess opponent being reelected since they have also criticized him A LOT!
Emma Leigh @ 21, if "choice" and "choosing" is the barometer of culpability here, you should keep in mind that a Boeing employee can "choose" to work somewhere else. So no, I guess I don't "surely" understand the difference you're trying to claim exists. I'm merely putting forth the idea that in the corporate world, most companies do not get into evaluating the politics of their customers or clients.
That's Seattle's dirty secret. We're liberal, liberal, liberal, except for our (former) company town company that makes high-tech weapons for the defense department. Boeing has masterfully characterized itself as this benign "Lazy B" over the years. No one protests.
They give away a truckload of money in philanthropy and provide a ton of jobs, but one of their core businesses is profiting from war. It's sick, really. Oh, well.
@23, the difference is that the founder of the firm can choose to accept or decline clients with no risk to his job. The employee of Boeing can't, and is typically far removed from the decision-making process anyway.
I get your put-forth idea. I'm merely pointing out that you were maybe stretching the comparison a little thin.
Burgess sounds like Jane Hague: blame everyone else for his questionable actions.
Nobody forced him to make big donations to McCain, McKenna and Maleng, write a Republican code-filled column for the Seattle Times, or professionally promote Concerned Women for America.
Yet to hear him talk, all these easily verified facts are just dirty tricks and distractions from the big meanies at David Della's campaign.
So who pulled Tina's LESBO FREE PASS, is Sally Clark next?
I won't necessarily vote against him over this brouhaha, but I do note that on his website Burgess brags about his client list (scroll down about halfway to "Leading to Help Others Serve"). Specifically he cites seven organizations that his company raised money for.
Seems to me that if he's not responsible for the views of his clients, then he can't take credit for "helping" those seven clients either. After all, it was only money.
So let me make sure I understand what everyone's arguing...
Despite the support or endorsement of prominent LGBT community leaders, and his own statements that he supports civil marriage equality and opposes discrimination, we should not support Burgess because he did some work for an awful organization.
On the other hand, we all need to support the eventual Democratic candidate for President, even though it is quite possible that he or she will have voted for the War on Iraq and the Patriot Act and DOMA, and be opposed to civil marriage equality?
Why exactly is it okay to vote for the lesser of two evils in one instance and not the other?
Is the argument that Burgess is less qualified to be on City Council than Della, or that y'all just don't like him because you disagree with his religious beliefs?
From Tim's King County Democrats Candidate Questionnaire: http://www.kcdems.net/temp/Candidates2007/questionnaires/tburgess.pdf
Do you support the King County Democratic Platform? -- YES
Do you support freedom of choice in contraception, abortion and sterilization? -- YES
Admits to previous support of some identified Republicans, but declares himself "a progressive Democrat."
Member of the 36th District Democrats
10. What is your position on civil rights for Gay. Lesbian, bisexual and trans gendered people? What is
your position on equal rights for same-sex couples when it comes to benefits, civil unions, marriage
and parental rights? I favor equality and fairness without discrimination for all people. I support civil
marriage and full rights for all persons, including same-sex couples. I remember in the 1970s when Seattle
was a national leader in granting domestic partner benefits to city employees. One of my police academy
classmates launched a petition drive to overturn these benefits; this effort was an embarrassment to me and
many of my police colleagues.
Burgess also has a spotty record of contributions to politicians. I suppose I can semi-excuse the $1000 he gave to John McCain in 2000 -- after all, we didn't yet know just how false McCain's "maverick" act was. And also his contributions to Norm Maleng ($500 for the 2002 primary, $1725 between Tim and Joleen for the 2006 general). For the record, Della also contributed to Maleng in 2006 ($50 in the primary).
But then there's that maxed-out contribution of $1350 in the general election to ROB MCKENNA in 2004!?! Burgess says he was a Sidran guy, but if you're a Democrat what you do when your guy loses in the primary is sit it out in the general. You don't actually help a smarmy, on-the-make, stealth-wingnut like McKenna get ahead.
Early in the campaign, Burgess's stump speech included mention that he'd maxed-out to Della in 2003. If so, SEEC doesn't know it ... they show a $250 contribution from Tim Burgess. Maybe Tim's confusing Della with Jean Godden, Robert Rosencrantz, Margaret Pageler, or Jim Compton. Each of them got $650 from Tim.
I don't want to vote for either of these guys.
@29: This goes way beyond mere 'religious beliefs'. If Tim Burgess gave a bunch of money to his church, well that's his perogative. Instead, he did marketing and communicaions for what is basically a thinly-veiled hate group. "Concerned Women for America" isn't exactly the PTA or the Church Council of Greater Seattle, the Salvation Army, or even Crista Ministries. This is an advocacy group that actively preaches outright intolerance of others and doesn't appear to have any other redeeming value. (i.e. Salvation Army is an evangelical Christian organization that discriminates against gay people, but one could argue that they do tremendous good by helping homeless people. CWA has no such value.)
Check out their "core issues" here: http://www.cwfa.org/coreissues-short.asp
I don't see how Burgess can claim that he was 'only doing his job' here.
Above, Mickymse - Let me explain my personal poly-sci 101 - no theory politics.
After years of utter frustration with national politics, it hit one night. YES, I can help control my back yard, no matter what the hell is going down in DC, at the UN or else where, I CAN vote and influence big time my back yard. That is Seattle.
This corner of the world is different in many ways. And it is very pleasant to live here and be gay. There are no moderately supportive council members, none. The city is pro active, not just OK.
I will vote to keep it that way. Burgess is tarnished, it seems charming, but luke warm, tepid, and I think deceptive and sly.
I don't spend money with right wing businesses, and I cannot fathom why anyone with a whit of intellect, progressive politics, and spine - why they would taint their lives with business with Concerned Women's hard HATEMONGER dollars.
YES business owners say no. All the time. Ask the Lesbians who own Urban Press if they would do printing for them .. I know the answer, no.
LGBT folks/voters need to say No to Burgess. And let it be known to the political establishment why. The famed civil rights activist Barbara Jordan said her faith in the constitution was intact - she was brilliant - to the world let's say our guts and balls are intact in this city which is our back yard.
Tina and Joe need to reconsider. Apparently some sort of nice guy thing has clouded their nitty gritty evaluations. Too bad.
What we need here is a serious credible write-in candidate.
Della is an incompetent hack who deserves to go down in flames.
Burgess is at best a cheap hooker (albeit competent) and, more likely, a lying sack of shit.
A year ago I could not have imagined supporting Della's reelection or voting for him. But nothing about Burgess makes me want to vote for him and there's a great deal that makes me want to vote against him.
On the other hand, we all need to support the eventual Democratic candidate for President, even though it is quite possible that he or she will have voted for the War on Iraq and the Patriot Act and DOMA, and be opposed to civil marriage equality?
Why exactly is it okay to vote for the lesser of two evils in one instance and not the other?
City Council members don't have their fingers on the nuclear button, and they can't use the Patriot Act to send you to Gitmo.
Please don't insult our intelligence with such an obvious false equivalency. Oh, and vote for Della.
Hi Eria,
I wanted to ask you and Dan to talk a little bit about all the teenage and young adult readers The Stranger so successfully attracts. The readers who you then deliver to lying, destructive tobacco advertisers. If those pages of tobacco ads don't sell cigarettes to your readers, then why do the tobacco companies spend so much money on them? Are they crazy?
Does the money big tobacco gives to The Stranger affect you reporting? Why not? How could you be free of the influence of such an important client, yet the employees of other companies can't? What's your secret?
What a non rational statement - to suggest a Boeing worker is an arms merchant and then let the guy off the hook who takes HATE MONGER MILLIONS (thanks poster for the phrase).
If Burgess was cashing checks for up to 300,000.00 per year for nine years - god, what a wad of HATE MONGER MONEY....over 2.5 MILLION.
Someone will try to let him off this jagged hook, not I. My granny used to say the thing about making your bed, and then having to sleep in it. Mr. Burgess, it fits. Your political career in Seattle is toast.
And Tina - I think you did a great job at the Foundation, but political savant, you are not. The devil is in the details, not the smiling PR expert face... who is a nice neighbor. The Mafia dons are reported to always be nice neighbors.
@30 - yes, and we in the 43rd fight to keep that question in the KCDCC Questionnaire every year.
And this is why.
But as to Boeing (caveat - I worked for them in cruise missiles and star wars) - maybe this is why Brian Baird switched his vote - someone should check his recent PDC filings to see if he got a nice check from certain "groups" or "individuals" to explain his switch.
Will - who did the 43rd endorse?
Perhaps they should re visit this fellow and his propensity to do PR work for the ultra, far, far right wing. Concerned Women of America is polar opposite to all the 43rd works for, everything, day after day.
I don't think the fighting 43rd - the heart of gay liberation - should even want him in their midst ... throw him out, he is a Republican in all but name.
No time for wishy washy ... send a message from the best of the best Demo. districts.
My understanding is Tim Burgess' company wrote the dreadful and horrible fundraising letters for CWFA. These were the letters that say that gay people deserve the AIDS epidemic.
CWfA, as an organization, are the people who stand outside funerals with 'God Hates Fags' signs. These are the people who Tim chose to write vile fundraising letters for during all of the campaigns in Washington to try and pass anti gay initiatives. He did direct mail for them. He helped propagate the vile hate filled letters that went out to raise money. Their company was hired (and paid) to make those letters more compelling and persuasive so that CWfA could raise more money to support a serious anti gay, anti choice agenda.
They worked hard to make their clients message better. I really don't know how a man could sit in a room brainstorming about better ways to say homosexuals are evil and you should all be very scared so send money for our campaign.
If I found out Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama or John Edwards had CWfA as a client I would not vote for them either.
It's a free country and Tim can have whatever clients he wants. But as a voter I do believe as a candidate Tim is responsible for his professional choices.
Sure, we all indirectly support things around the squishy edges of life in our actions and we all have to live with our choices. For me, I won't vote for a city official who profited by using his skills to promote lies and untruths about me, my family and my friends. Thats a line in the sand for me.
I sure wish Bruce Harrell would have run for this seat.
Tina wrote that she knows whats in Tim's heart but besides his answers on an endorsement questionnaire, I have yet to see anything that would show that Tim has been a supporter or advocate (actively or passively) on these issues.
Isn't that nice that he was 'embarrassed' by his colleagues actions. If the most he has done is answer a questionnaire in a way that he needs to get an endorsement and had some 'embarrassment' over a classmates petition drive to overturn partners benefits then I would say he is a pretty lousy ally.
In addition I think Tina has shown a real disregard for the queers on the Burgess related SLOG postings. She is a leader in the GLBT community she knows that her endorsement carries weight. Yet she has not offered us anything at all to convey how Tim has demonstrated his support for these issues. She has lost a tremendous amount of credibility by jumping on here and giving us such a flimsy answer for her endorsement. 'I have talked to him and I believe him' just is not good enough.
What has Della ever done for the gays in Seattle? He's had four years to prove HIS track record.
Go to a Della / Burgess debate. Ask Burgess. Someone convince ECB to ask Burgess.
Burgess leans more to the right than most of Seattle. At least he's competent and can get done what he says he's going to get done.
Della leans whichever direction won't cause controversy. Most of the time, he lays under the mayor's and Paul Allen's and Suzy Burke's feet. Just look at who pays for his campaign.
It's not easy to justify Burgess's client list. At least ask him if he'd take the same clients today. Ask him why he took those clients when he did. Look at the work Domain Group did for the CWfA. Did they publish trash?
Is Dan saying Della would make a good dog catcher? Only if he could avoid the controversy.
Oh, honey - if it is good enough for Tina it better be good enough for you.
Truth, her political skills are nil.
Executive skills are much, much better.
AND, I bet he lied to SEAMEC. If they really knew the whole truth about all the cash from the far right and what he did for them, they should have given him a zero.
PR expert, it means paid liar in politics. Take note Tina, his million dollar house and engaging smile mean nothing about real character.
I am obsessed about the link of money and politics. I do not buy Domino pizza, my choice, as the fellow who owns it is a million dollar funder of the far right.
This stuff about Burgess is far worse.
I'm not Will, but I can answer Angel's question in #39.
The 43rd hasn't endorsed anyone yet in the Della/Burgess race; we'll vote on our general election endorsements on September 18 (c'mon out for the fun!). In this week's Candidate Forum, Burgess's smattering of applause was probably a bit less light than Della's, who did little except remind us that he's on City Council.
My expectation is that we'll endorse neither of them -- we do have standards, you know. Before the voting, members of the E-board may point out possibly-troubling issues observed in the KCDCC questionnaire and in study of FEC, PDC, and SEEC reports. On both sides of this race and other races.
Above N - thanks for the answer that raises more questions
JUST how bad does
Burgess have to get before you eject him? Something just short of tar and feathers.
Have you ever read the fund raising letters that Burgess helped write, apparently, in chasing the almighty dollar? Have you? He is a media relations whore ... truly for sale and no scruples.
They, these fund raising mailers, are beyound the pale, just gross. Hate mail in a good definition.
The 43rd of all places, should never say, well, Della isn't too polished in speech making, SO, what the hell - hate mail vs. polish ... who cares ... all the same. It isn't. This is serious stuff for gay Democrats.
Clearly it is no longer the fighting 43rd, home of the most most progressive and activst political voices in the state ... Cal Anderson's legacy is crying out for justice.
Too bad.
Angel, I live in the more gutsy 37th.
I work at Tim's former company, and I've known him for many years. If you knew Tim Burgess, you wouldn't be lumping him in with the "God hates fags" crowd. That just misses the point in a huge way.
A lot of the conversation here is missing the important point: The man has changed. Decide whether or not you want to vote for him by who is now, not what he was before. Because he has evolved. Like anyone else who has integrity, he's more enlightened now than he was in the past.
If you're going to limit your list of acceptable allies to people who have never been wrong, you're not going to have a lot of allies. He's clearly a believer in equality and progressive change. And he's going to be an effective champion for these things, unless we insist on perfection going back into the past.
Concerned Women for America is an ugly organization. It would be better if Tim had never gone near them in any way. It was his mistake. But life experience and some deep soul-searching have worked a change in him. I can tell you that even when he was wrong about CWA, he was never a hater. His company was always respectful gays, progressives, and noncomformists.
Have you ever looked back at something you believed or did in the past and thought WHAT was I THINKING? The only people who don't have that experience are people who never grow.
We should be inspired that a man like Tim can change. Some day there's going to be equality in this country, and it's going to happen through the work of people like Tim, people who at one point didn't get it, but then saw the light.
I understand the hurt and anger displayed in this blog regarding the Tim Burgess controversy from the gay and lesbian, as well as the progressive community of Seattle. I have respected the editorial content of The Stranger for many years and especially the writings of Dan Savage.
Concerned Women for America is a terrible organization. They are the antithesis of what true Christianity is about: Love, forgiveness and grace.
If I didn't know Tim Burgess, and had just read the few "facts" posted in this blog, I too might be tempted to run to conclusions, make judgements and rush to condemnation of Tim. However, I do know Tim. I know him very, very well because I worked alongside of him for 11 years and have known him for 14 years.
14 years ago I met Tim at a Christian Management Conference seminar on fundraising (I think CMC was actually mentioned in one of the blog posts). I was working for The Other Side Magazine, a radical, left-wing Christian magazine which was published for 40 years until it folded just three years ago. It was the first Christian publication to stand up for civil rights for African-American's in 60's and for Gay Rights in the 70's.
I felt uncomfortable there because most of the people attending were from very conservative organizations. In fact, many people came up to me and told me I should not be there because of the magazine I worked for...I was not wanted in that seminar room...except from one person...the speaker that day...Tim Burgess. Tim, came up to me and said, "hey, I love your magazine and really respect your work..."
Three years later, after becoming friends and after Tim gave me great counsel on how to raise money for our poor magazine, I came to work for The Domain Group, now Merkle|Domain.
At that time I could not honestly say that Tim was a big supporter of gay rights, however, he was accepting of people who were gay. And, while he was involved in the beginning on the CWA account, over time he went from not being involved on the account to actively trying to get rid of the account with a group of us progressive employees. Eventually we won out, fired the client and had a great happy hour celebrating.
And, yes it was a compromise for me and all the other liberal, progressive employees to work at a company that had CWA as a client, but it was one we made because of all the amazing work we were able to do for clients who helped feed hungry people, help people during disasters, protected animals and the enviroment, worked to help children of prisoners...and the list goes on. All the while, working within the agency along with Tim, to bring in other business so we could fire CWA.
For all those who say that you would not make that compromise, I applaud you, but life and business is not always so easy...if we had just fired CWA at the time, we'd also have to let five employees go too. And, I know there are many of you who would still say that is not enough to compromise your beliefs, but I'm saying it's just not always that easy.
While I understand that the Gay and Lesbian community may not be able to trust Tim due to his past involvement with CWA, I can tell you, as someone that knows Tim, that you can. I know that over time, Tim's views changed and that he supports equal rights for all people, that all should have the ability in the eyes of the state to be married no matter what their sexual orientation.
How did this change happen? Well, I guess like it did for me and many heterosexual people...we actually became friends with gay and lesbians and realized they were no different than us, that they loved like we did, were people of faith...and were just as messed up as us heterosexuals. I know that Tim would be embarrassed that I'm revealing this, but I want to tell this story so that you really understand what type of man Tim Burgess is. When one of my colleagues at The Domain Group, who was a gay man, learned that he had acquired AIDS, it was Tim that he confided in first. Why, because he knew Tim would accept him and his situation. And, when he was in the final weeks of his life, it was Tim Burgess that appealled to my colleague's insurance company to get them to pay for hospice care when they rejected him. And, when he died, it was Tim who did his eulogy, requested by my colleague. That experience, along with many others over the past several years, changed Tim and his opinions about the rights of gay and lesbian people. He went from accepting gay and lesbian people for who they were to full support of their civil rights.
Now, you don't have to believe me...you can still hold on to your "story" playing in your head about how Tim must be a bad person because he once had a bad client, but I ask you to ponder that there is another side to this, that as someone who knows Tim well, has a handle on the real facts, not a story, that maybe Tim really is the kind of person who needs to be representing the citizens of Seattle on city council. A person, who is bursting with integrity, creativity, passion and a drive to make Seattle a better place for everyone.
So, Dan, while I respect your work and the work of The Stranger, I urge you before you rush to judgement that you sit down with Tim and hear the real facts from Tim, talk to people like me who know Tim and then you can write your story. I'm telling you, you will not find a man more passionate about the city of Seattle and ALL it's people than Tim Burgess.

I just love this font, thank you so much!!!!!
Thank you, i love the image to present it
Ohman I'm so happy I found this here!! Dafont sucks lately with downloads so I stalked you here! I'm in love with the rest of your gallery as well!
lovelovelove the font ^^
I downloaded this from dafont and the zip file they provide is corrupted. Maybe you should do something??
hmm maybe you can try downloading it again,the dafont severs aren't quality servers so the downloads often get interrupted when downloading from them,especially if you download many fonts at once. I had the same problem with them,the files are not corrupted but as they get cut off during transfer they arrive in your pc as such.
Nice ^^
Sorry to bother you, but I'm not exactly sure what to do with it after I download it... How do I load it into Photoshop, or MS Word, something like that? Or do I just copy and paste the lettering...?

Finally, preferred walk-ons are in a better place to earn a scholarship but in football it normally does not happen until a player's junior year. That's because giving a walk-on a scholarship after his freshman year still uses one of the 25 initial scholarships for that year. A player has to be on the team for two full years before they can get a scholarship and not have it count like an incoming student.

Bottom Line Up Front (BLUF): Good defensive catcher with plus power potential and surprising athleticism; potential All-Star backstop.
The Player: Sebastian Valle (C, Philadelphia Phillies) – The Phillies signed Valle out of Mexico as a 16-year old in 2007 and immediately sent him to the DSL to start his career. He hit well there and then immediately hit well in the GCL in 2008. The 2009 season was his breakout campaign with a monster .307/.335/.531 line as an 18-year old in the NYPL. He struggled some in 2010 with Lakewood but got back on track with a .284/.312/.394 line in 91 games at High-A Clearwater in 2011.
Scouting Report
Body: Strong, well-proportioned body with good strength throughout. Lower half has thickened some as he has matured but he is still extremely athletic and moves well. May bulk up a little more as he reaches his physical peak but he has room on his frame to add mass without issue.
Makeup: Diligent worker with a good grasp of how to take criticism and make himself a better player. His pitchers like working with him and he has improved his ability to command the game from behind the plate.
Hit: Tremendous strength in wrists and forearms gives him plus-plus bat speed. His bat gets to the zone quickly and with good loft stays in the zone for a long time. His timing can get off and he can get behind on good fastballs when his high leg kick isn't timed properly. Gets pull happy and works much better when he uses the opposite field. Won't ever be a standout hitter but will be enough to let his power play. Grade – 30/40
Power: Plus-plus bat speed and elevation on the back half of his swing gives him ability to drive the ball over the fence to all fields. Truly impressive pull power that he falls in love with at times, letting his swing get long. Could still add additional strength giving him additional power projection beyond his present state. Grade (raw power) – 40/60
Arm: Quick release and natural arm strength but the ball doesn't always come out clean. Drops arm at times allowing throws to sail. When his arm stays up he has more than enough strength to help control the running game, and with more consistency he be an average thrower. Grade – 40/50
Fielding: Highly athletic for a catcher. Moves very well behind the plate and has advanced blocking skills for a player his age. He catches the ball cleanly and has begun to develop a feel for framing borderline pitches. Has good footwork on throws and has improved his glove-to-hand transfer. Still needs to improve game calling ability and consistency on throws. Grade – 40/60
Speed: Below-average home to first times despite good overall athleticism. Has slowed as his lower half has thickened and could slow even more in the coming years, but not too much. Has good instincts and shouldn't be a complete hindrance on the bases. Grade – 30/30
Summation: Bat speed and power potential gives him above-average offensive potential behind the plate. Could be a .260 hitter with 20-25 home runs annually. Won't offer much on-base ability outside of batting average thanks to aggressive approach. Defense should also be a plus both with his handling of the pitching staff and his catch-and-throw skills. If both offense and defense reach their ceiling he has the potential to be an All-Star level catcher that hits sixth in the lineup.
Relative Risk: High. He's still very young and his ultra-aggressive, swing-at-everything approach could ultimately hold him back.
Future: He wore down in the second half of the hot Florida summer but showed enough that the Phillies are prepared to send him to Double-A Reading to start the 2012 season. He could require two years to polish his game but he is the catcher of the future in Philadelphia and could be a key piece for the Phillies to build around as the current crop of stars continues to age.

Twitter Handle: @mattzollerseitz
Writes At: New York Magazine/Vulture
Matt Zoller Seitz is one of the most name-checked critics on the Internet, at least by his peers. It's not uncommon for noted TV bloggers to quote nuggets of brilliance from Seitz in their own reviews. Todd VanDerWerff attributes his favorite description of Friday Night Lights to Seitz. Seitz's unrelenting earnestness is perhaps the most appealing aspect of his work. Anybody who's ever taken a writing class will likely teachers imploring you to sprinkle humor throughout your work, and many of our favorite critics do. For Seitz, it seems, criticism is serious business, and his passion is beautifully compelling.
Few writers could locate their hyper-specific feelings about House of Cards and muster a full-on defense of The Neighbors with the same vigor, but such feats seem efforless for Seitz. If you're in the mood for something longer, deeper, and more heartfelt than the average review, MZS is your man.

Whanganui iwi will receive $120 million from the Crown upon
settlement of the Whanganui River Treaty of Waitangi claim.
The agreement also gives the river its own legal identity.
The historical Whanganui River Treaty of Waitangi claim that
Whanganui iwi have been pursuing thorough the courts since
1873 came a step closer today with the initialling of the
Deed of Settlement and Te Awa Tupua Framework Document.
Whanganui iwi negotiators and the Minister for Treaty of
Waitangi Negotiations Chris Finlayson initialled the deed and
document, which now has to go to iwi members to be ratified.
The Te Awa Tupua document recognises the status of the
Whanganui River and its tributaries as an entity "an
integrated living whole from the mountains to the sea,
intrinsically connected to the iwi and having its own legal
identity", Mr Finlayson said.
The settlement includes $80 million in redress and setting up
a $30 million contestable fund that will be available for
initiatives related to Te Awa Tupua.
The agreement also allows for Crown-owned parts of the
riverbed to be handed over to iwi.
No water rights have been created.
Two guardians, one from the Crown and one from Whanganui
River iwi, will be given the role of protecting the river.
- Wanganui Chronicle
A name, residential address, and (preferably residential) telephone number is required from readers who comment on ODT Online. These details will not be visible to site visitors.
So the Crown pays out $120m supposedly for the river, so what
are all the conditions being leveraged by the Iwi, either
they sell the thing and absolve themselves from any and all
future say in it or they retain ownership of it. You can't
have it both ways, just what are we getting for $120m,
nothing by the look of it.

Spiced Eggplant (Aubergine) Salad
Total Time
Prep 15 mins
Cook 10 mins
A Middle-Eastern-influenced Greek salad which is great served with warm pita bread or crusty rolls as a starter or as one of several mezze dishes, or to accompany grilled meats or pilaf. I have adapted this recipe from one I found in 'The Taste of Greece' and I am posting it for the 2005 Zaar World Tour. When I've made this, I just haven't noted how long it takes to grill the eggplant, so the 10 minutes below is a guesstimate. I have not included the chilling time required in the calculations for preparation and cooking times. This is very much a prepare-ahead salad.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 2 small eggplants, sliced
- 5 tablespoons olive oil
- 1⁄4 cup red wine vinegar
- 3 garlic cloves, crushed
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1⁄2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1⁄2 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1⁄2 cucumber, preferably Lebanese, very thinly sliced
- 2 tomatoes, home-grown, not supermarket varieties, very thinly sliced
- 1⁄4 cup kalamata olive, pitted, halved
- 2 tablespoons yoghurt, preferably creamy Greek yoghurt
- salt, to taste
- fresh ground black pepper, to taste
- flat leaf parsley, chopped, to garnish
- Preheat the grill, brush the eggplant slices lightly with some of the oil and cook under a high heat, turning once, until golden. Cut into quarters.
- Mix together the remaining oil, vinegar, garlic, lemon juice, cumin and coriander; season to taste with salt and pepper; mix thoroughly; add the warm eggplant quarters, stir well and chill for at least 2 hours.
- Transfer the chilled eggplant mixture to a serving dish, and add the cucumber, tomatoes and olives; spoon the yoghurt on top, sprinkle with parsley and serve.

I loved this with the strong vinegary dressing but my kids both pulled massive faces although they did try to eat the eggplant and tomatoes. They are pretty good about eating stronger flavours too so this may not be the most kid-friendly recipe if you have a 3 and 6 year old. Very quick and easy to prepare too.
Being Greek I had to try this recipe! I grilled the eggplants on a indoor grill, increased the garlic, cumin and olives. If you are an eggplant lover such as myslf then this is a recipe! I have to warn that this salad is not for someone who prefers weaker flavors! this can be served as a small side dish or actually a main meal it is VERY filling, this is a perfect dish for a vegetarian meal. I will look forward to making this again soon, it is just wonderful! thank for posting this great recipe bluemoon!...Kitten:)
