Let's start with this: a March (yes, MARCH!) cyclocross race near Tokyo. I have no idea what is going on, if it is a small training race series or if it is a school race. Any of my Japanese pals want to comment and let me know?
Seriously, the Keirin school style helmet covers and the whole race scene is cool to take in. I mean, the dude doing the pre-race nervous stem bolt adjustment then his expression when it breaks: "oh!". Priceless! This is bike racing at its most pure, a bunch of people just out there doing embarrassing shit and enjoying themselves. (and cans Suntory Boss coffee from a vending machine)
The rest of 桜高競輪部 videos are pretty good too, good insight to a Japanese approach to cycling and racing.
Speaking of Japan. Check out Hikaru Kosaka's blog. There are a handful of photos in there that will blow your mind. The dude is ripped and flaunts it. We raced cyclocross together at Nobeyama last November and I am looking forward to racing again together next fall.
I recognize a whole bunch of guys in the video below from the Nobeyama race. Daisuke is doing his thing and the whole crew I met last year are in this video. Pretty classic. This looks like a video compilation of the Kansai cyclocross series which is all over Japan. You can see a bunch of the different race venues in the video.
And, finally. Moving back to the US, check out my buddy Greg doing his thing in this video. Pretty rad to see what the Coloradans will do to help a brother out. The Oregon CX racing scene is amazing but, I'd love to see more "Wednesday night worlds" style races and more organized group rides and skills training sessions. Unless it has a Rapha stamp on it (or they are getting free stuff for showing up), I'll be damned if an organized bunch of Portland area riders would get together to ride laps in a park while some dudes shoot videos to help a friend get cyclocross mainstream exposure. That is building cyclocross, that is cyclocross love.
That is pretty rad, your scene has heart Greg.
I did not.
But I love it. Her touchy-feely dialogues on her website echo my similar emotional sentiments without my self-aware approach. Deep down, secretly, I am a big hippie. I don't have any crystals or anything. But, I hella feel things. And I approve of stripper heels. HELLA.
I can't get enough of Hennie Kuiper's Flickr page. The dude won Worlds, the Olympic road race, Flanders, Roubaix and more. Plus, he was a damn handsome man in that beautiful 70′s style. There are even race videos embedded into his photostream. Check it out.
And, you thought that cyclocross season was over? Well, it is. But, check out these photos from 2010 cyclocross nationals in Bend. Courtesy of Lincoln Barbour. You can probably spot your self in there.
Cyclocross season has just ended and all I can think about is cyclocross season. I'm staring at a BEAUTIFUL 3D CAD drawing of a yet to be released, brand new tubular mud tread design. No, I can't share it with you yet. This one is confidential. But, I will say this… this tyre is on a hunting "safari". If you catch my meaning.
And, reading up on all the news about PRO cyclocross team transfers: Jeremy Powers to Rapha-Focus, Ryan Trebon moving to Felt bicycles. This kind of news gets me motivated! That and having phone calls with a couple of my 2011 sponsors yesterday. They want to re-up and grow the program!
It has not stopped raining in Portland since last October and it is perfect cyclocross weather right now. Perfect.
This little interview with a local cyclist and co-founder of Substance and this video interview with local sweetheart Mr. Joe Staples provides some solid wet-weather inspiration.
Remember the time I was in Santa Cruz this winter and was having a good discussion over burritos with a Santa Cruz local frame builder about frame builders and I had no idea the guy was a framebuilder?!
Brilliant! Foot was not quite inserted into mouth but, looking back, it was pretty damn funny. And now this:
Nice work Todd, your booth at NAHBS was sweet, your bikes look great!
I'm sitting indoors at PBS-UEF watching Paris-Nice on Versus. Fielding phone calls and text messages about results from the early season Oregon road series this (last Sunday) morning. I'm super proud! Really genuinely proud.
Which makes me reflect on where I am at right now. I'm trying to discover the drive again myself. Trying to find the motivation to pedal the bike. The anger is not in my belly. I am spread thin and throwing a leg over a bicycle has slid incredibly low on my priority list. Three months into the year and I've hardly been on a bicycle.
It is an interesting position for me and a sad song to keep singing. If you were to do a google search for "tired excuses and feeling sorry for your self" my website may likely come up as the primary result!
The best laid plans get thrown to the wind when you are a small business owner. I tire of saying this. Over the last hand full of years I've been lumped along with a bunch of other cyclocross riders as a "working-man's racer". A rider with a real job trying to compete with the World's best talent. Sure, there is something noble about being the underdog yet, I wish things came a little bit easier once in a while. Instead of generally feeling like continuous uphill battles.
It may just be my lot in life. Or more likely just my style. Bite off way more than I can chew and strive for excellence.
I remember simpler times. My first year racing on the Vanilla bicycles cyclocross team. (Thanks for the reminder picAHTBM) Everything about cyclocross was new. Fresh. Real good times, I was learning the ropes, getting clobbered in races, traveling and figuring out what to do and NOT do.
A handful of years later, I'm trying to re-discover the fire that drove me to get my teeth kicked in by doped-up Euros year after year. I still love cycling. And I initially was able to strike a balance between riding and work. Then, as my businesses grew, racing took second priority. Now, three years into Portland Bicycle Studio; the selling of the custom bicycles is taking priority and riding is taking a back seat.
This said, the balance is coming back. I can feel it.
I am recently back from the NAHBS show in Austin. Check out these pictures I took!
And here I am… at PBS working late to get this damn blog post put up.
For serious, you need to get into a pair of these Castelli nanoflex leg warmers. They are awesome. I've been using them since last summer (it rains a lot in Portland) and, they completely rule. The double gripper on the inside and outside of the thigh-band is a nice touch.
I strongly encourage the use of leg warmers vs. knee warmers. I'll even accept leg warmers OVER the shorts vs. knee warmers or bib knickers any day.
You all know the rule. Keep the legs completely covered until it is over 20c/68f. Unless you are racing, then of course you slather your legs with Mad Alchemy Molly Cameron edition embrocation. Look at the pain on my face… oh the suffering!
More absurd than the video below is the pre-road season cock sizing. Well check out my watts! Just kidding, I don't have many of those right now. Yet, I keep breaking powermeters… which means something, right? Really awesome was finally hearing about my local cycling hero tearing the legs off of a bunch of super models out on a bike ride and not telling anyone about it!
My goal for this road season is to out smart everyone else… As I am certainly not going to be out-watting anyone out there.
I really need to make some time to do some writing. I have a lot of people to thank for a lot of things in 2010.
For now, I'll leave you with this:
I wake up suddenly on most mornings at about 4 or 5am. A couple hours before my alarm and, typically a few hours before I actually get out of bed. (And right about when the Condor gets out of bed and heads to work.)
This happens often when there is a lot on my mind. And there is a lot on my mind. I just can't sleep. I stay up late thinking, trying to distract my mind with Sci-Fi novels. I toss and turn all night and wake up at odd hours. I would not call myself distracted and, if anything, I am focused, feeling balanced and on top of the typical-for-Molly life and workload.
There is a world of wants and needs in front of me. And, history shows, I am one to seize the moment and make it happen. But this week and, this morning is one of those… "yo!" (to myself) "whats the point of it all?" Sometimes I feel like I am banging my head against a wall trying to make amazing things materialize and become reality.
I spoke with my pal (and coach) Adam Myerson last night for the first time in months and it was like a 30 minute re-cap of my summer and autumn up to this point. After we got off the phone, I was like, whoa. It is a miracle I've made it this far, this year has been completely nuts! This was followed by hours of looking at flights to try and race UCI cyclocross in North Carolina this weekend. ha! I'm a glutton for suffering.
And now here I am. 10 minutes before a meeting and wondering what the hell kinda trouble I am going to get myself into in the next few days, weeks and months. There is a lot of beauty in this world. Beautiful things to create and beautiful things to experience.
I can't stop myself from doing everything full-on.
I'm back and, I have no idea where to begin. Life has been such a whirlwind and, I am thinking about a lot of stuff. There always is a lot on my mind, work, cycling, work, racing, work. Work.
I lead a charmed life. Truly.
I really need to catch up and take a breath from Japan, Los Angeles and the whirlwind that has been my cx season so far. But here I am, late on a Friday night at Portland Bicycle Studio catching up on work and emails and procrastinating heading home.
The fog is heavy and thick in Portland right now. Which is unusual for my little town.
It is romantic. Chilly, cold. You can tell the holiday season is approaching.
I am still on Japan time and feel completely screwed up. It is like 16 hours in the future so, I already feel like it is Saturday afternoon.
I'm hitting this up tonight!! Gonna mash around on cyclocross tubulars and tons of prototype Shimano and Independent Fabrication gear, probably wear my new Castelli custom skinsuit for far too long and then try to avoid eating the $50 worth of vegan doughnuts in the fridge. (Those are for you, at the race on Saturday.)
Time : Friday, November 5 · 4:30pm – 7:30pm
Location: 4PM MEET AT ORANGE 20 BIKES 4:30PM
Created By: Southern California Prestige Series of Cyclocross
More Info: PLEASE JOIN US FRIDAY FOR AN EVENING OF BIKE RIDES, HOW TO CX CLINIC, PIZZA, BEER, AND CYCLOCROSS TALK WITH KONA'S RYAN TREBON AND PORTLAND'S MOLLY CAMERON.
In lieu of a proper blog post, I've been dumping tons of photos onto Flickr and I finally learned how to edit and create decent video content; which I am putting up on my YouTube account.
I'm in Japan. I've been so busy experiencing everything and trying to stay focused. Snapping photos of everything like… well, like a Japanese tourist.
So, I'll save a Japan post for later and share with you some other awesome culture that is getting me stoked:
First – this Independent Fabrication titanium factory lightweight.
Holy shit. The Indy Fab crew has completely stepped up and taken it to a new level. Turned the volume knob to 11, if you will. I don't often get crazy lust for bikes, I appreciate the subtleties and differences in all of them. But, I'm sold. The balance of tech, innovation, toughness and a no nonsense approach that we have come to expect from Independent Fabrication; completely dialed. I want one. I want to slap full fenders on it, beat the hell out of it over the winter and then pull the fenders off and smash a full summer of road racing in prep for cyclocross on it. I want to ride that thing on every gravel road we have in the NW. damn.
Second – these 2 videos are getting me pumped. Thanks Condor for the Lando Calrissian lead out. I love Star Wars and I love, well maybe I just like R. Kelly. real talk.
Third – This from the man behind Mad Fiber wheels: SPOKE NERDS ONLY.
Fourth – Gold Lame! Yes, YES! So my style. Thanks BEllin for the lead out on that one. Not enough photos of Paolo in her WC gold lame skinsuit in the world.
Fifth – foodie stuff. I'll never find the time to make this. Or will I? I heart delicious oil and delicious salt.
Sixth – in case you were not already convinced:
The TRP CX-9 rules. Check out any of my muddy photos from this year. I was a skeptic but, I am sold, they rock. My friend Matt is sold too and he wrote a nice article about it on Bike Hugger. Click on the photo to read it and then go to the Veloshop and buy a set already.
Ok, I am out. Another amazing home cooked meal here in Nobeyama awaits.
I figure I should chime in on this one. There is an email thread on the OBRA mailing list that I caught this morning:
I would like some suggestions on embrocation. Do you embrocate? What brand/type do you use? Where do you purchase it? What would work in Portland type weather?
I too, think using embrocation falls into the same line of questions as: "why do bike racers shave their legs?"
Part tradition, part function, part ritual, part sex appeal.
I am a critic and as practical as they come. To be honest, I loathe shaving my legs (too time consuming) and I don't particularly like creams and oils (yo, I like my skin's natural feel). Yet I shave. And embrocate the hell out of my legs.
Similar to shaving your bike-racer legs, there are logical reasons to embrocate: (some are quite a stretch in their justification of the fancy habits) you shave so that road rash is easier to clean, so that your massages are smoother and yes, so that you are more "aero".
You embrocate to encourage blood flow in the leg muscles, for a warming (or cooling) effect, to protect your legs from the elements, to prevent chafing, to facilitate quicker clean up for the podium presentation (and/or post-race recreation), and to promote a generally high level of euro-ness.
If you are a curmudgeon and far, far too many in Portland are, you have already harumphed at most of the ridiculous things cyclist's do. (except those you do yourself) And, I am right there with you, making fun of myself. (electronic shifting? plastic bicycles?!) Yet, I choose to encourage and embrace the beauty and spectacle of the culture we are a part of.
Please know I am also a leg warmer connoisseur. I love them and wear them religiously. Being a frail and weakly vegan (note: sarcasm), my body temp runs cold. Like real cold. I need to wear very warm gear when training. A training rule I gleaned from an old school, eastern bloc style, euro cycling coach: wear a warm jacket and keep your legs covered if it is colder than 70 degrees. 70 degrees! I still live by this rule on the bike. (off the bike, not so much. I'm known to wear as little clothing as possible, whenever possible)
However for racing, you don't want to be carrying around any extra weight. Lose the leg warmers. Which will get heavy when wet. And, when clothing gets wet, it gets cold. Who wants to race with heavy wet clothes on? Use embrocation.
After an evening spent meditating on my race and well, you know, the standard cyclocross rituals; the virgin priestesses shaving my legs in a bath of imported mineral water, inflating my tubulars to 2 BAR with my own lungs and the blessing of my bicycles by a zen buddist monk (cyclocross is there is no cyclocross), I'll wake up and have a bowl of plain pasta 4 hours before my start time.
I'll use a light embrocation after my morning shower, applied under my leg warmers and put my warm-up kit on before traveling to the race, (you always want to arrive in kit, ready to pre-ride the course). Then, an hour before my start, I'll apply my personal embrocation blend. (putting leg warmers back on if needed. With this said, you keep your warm up jackets and warmers on until you are in the start grid, hopping up and down for warmth with 2 minutes to start, then yank them off and toss to your team sognier) For years I was just using plain vasoline as, all I really wanted was protection from the wind and rain. I have even made some of my own embrocations but, now I just leave it to the professionals to make it for me.
I requested Mad Alchemy make my blend kinda thick with a little bit of warmth and a lot of minty freshness. I layer it on heavy and it wipes off clean with a warm cloth. You do bring two warm towels to the races right? Well, if you don't, you must start. Nothing is better than being able to race, get covered in mud, then use warm wet towels to wipe the embrocation off your legs and then your face (with the clean towel, obviously).
Embrocation: vanity? eh, maybe. Functional, very much so. Yet another ridiculous thing cyclists do? Clearly. And come on, if you live in Portland, being a hairy legged bike racer is just about as original as… well it just is not really that different. Will not using embrocation keep you from riding satisfaction? Probably not.
But should you embrace the embrocation? Of course you should. Not to be like everyone else, or VDB, or the MC. But to create your own rituals and define your own routine for racing and riding. If you pay attention to the details, which most cyclists do, it is just another tool for you to use as needed.
ok, some home made soba curry awaits. I'm out.

30 hand picked films. A new one every day
In a fantastical 1950s Moscow, straight-laced Mels swaps his drab Communist uniform for a saxophone, pompadour and zoot suit in this vibrant musical that is bursting with razzle and dazzle and of course, rhythm. —tiff.net
They used to record albums on the X-ray photograph.
When Fred saw Mels' black baby, he said "how long have you been listening Charles Parker?" :)))
That is the funniest moment of the movie!
This movie took me by surprise, kind of like falling in love.
Fun Russian musical about kids who rebel by adopting what they think is a hip American lifestyle of jazz and dancing and loud colorful clothing. One of their persecutors enters the fold, another leaves. Discoveries are made, songs are sung (though not as many as you might expect), lives change.
Like so many contemporary Russian films, it first amazes, than bores to death. Eye candy in massive doses but very little substance.
This is the only musical I have ever gotten into
My favorite film at Toronto, it helps to know Russian and Soviet culture, but the visuals are excellent nonetheless and the music intoxicating.
Kitsch and far too long.

I have a WordPress installation. When the ownership of the folder is root, the memory consumed is okay. However, when I change the ownership to the
www-data user, it starts consuming a lot of memory and starts throwing a lot of out of memory error. I have changed the ownership to root. Why does this happen?
I have a WordPress installation. When the ownership of the folder is root, the memory consumed is okay. However, when I change the ownership to the
It is likely to be a memory leak in an installed and enabled plugin.
For example, the wp-super-cache plugin is known to cause problems , like this.
The best approach would be to disable all plugins and themes and then measure memory usage again. Assuming this fixes your problem you can then enable each plugin and theme again to see what effect they have on memory usage.
EDIT: I have found an example of this here, where the ownership of the files in the cache were changed it caused a memory leak as you have described.
In your particular case you first ran this wordpress installation as root, effectively creating files with an ownership that is not writeable by the web server.
You should be able to correct ownership on these files in the cache to resolve your problem.
Of course it may not be the wp-super-cache plugin that is causing your issue. You have not yet posted back if disabling plugins had any effect so I am still working on that assumption.
When you change directory ownership, are you effectively denying write access for www-data? Or, are you setting permissions such that www-data can still write to the WordPress install? Also, are you hitting PHP's memory limit or are you hitting a system wall?
When you run it with root ownership, do you see any errors in your web server logs that indicate a problem writing to disk that you don't see when running with www-data ownership?
Richard up there is probably right. My guess is that root ownership is preventing Wordpress from doing some caching or other file dependent task because it can't write to the local file systems. That failure keeps it from eating up too much memory. When ownership allows writes, it's allowed to do whatever it is that it's doing and it bombs.

I use wordpress to manage my site. It's not really a blog, it's a list of recommended travel destinations. Each destination has it's own post with pics and info but no date displayed. I change the dates on the various posts to rearrange the order and keep things fresh.
I've decided I should add a normal blog to the site where I can linkbait and be more personal. I'd want it to display at the top of the sidebar and for only the most recent post to show.
Any idea how to do something like this?

Is there any way to access other fields in join tables. For example I have a books model and an authors model with a join table matching the book_ISBN to the author_id and I also have an order column in the join table which ranks the authors if there are multiple authors for a single book.
Heres a reference table example. You can see that there are 2 entries for the same book with 2 authors. one of the authors is ranked with a 1 in the order column denoting that they are the primary author for listing.
Unsure if this can be accessed through setting something in the 'fields' option for the author model in the has_many_and_belongs_to array.
book_ISBN | author_id | order
1234 | 1 | 1
1234 | 2 | 2
5678 | 3 | 1
Will I need to do a second query directly on that table to get that columns data and then append it into the $this->object variable in the after_find() method?

Kindergarten Teachers AT Professional Development
Yesterday, I had the honor to take part in an end of the year celebration with our Kindergarten team. Deirdre, Sheila and Kristen completed the first year of a 3 year commitment to participate in a math and science county wide collaborative called IGNITE lead by Eileen Smith. (This is following the end of an intensive 3 year commitment of SEAL P.D.) The focus of this years professional development has been on teaching students how to participate in productive math and science discourse. Our team shared their first year findings and experience via a power point presentation to a room filled of Marin teachers. Deirdre shared with me that she feels like she is a better teacher every year.

Stuck Between Stations trailer features Josh Hartnett, Lookbook
Zoe Lister Jones, Sam Rosen, and Brady Kiernan
Twin City actors, musicians, and the city itself are prominently featured in Stuck Between Stations, an indie flick directed by Brady Kiernan.
The trailer includes shots of First Avenue, the Walker Art bridge, bike riding, and music by the dearly departed Lookbook.
Also: Josh Hartnett.
"Stuck Between Stations" is pretty much a love letter to the Twin Cities. The film chronicles the reunion between a veteran (Sam Rosen) and the whip-smart girl who got away back in high school (Zoe Lister Jones). Over the course of one night, the unlikely couple traipses through a virtual Visitor's Bureau reel of local landmarks.
The film creators are a roster of Local Boys Made Good. Co-written by native Nat Bennett and Rosen, Stuck Between Stations takes its name and attitude from the Hold Steady's rambling ode that name checks local geography. The aforementioned Hartnett also plays a fun role that pays tribute to our city's thriving bike culture.
"Stuck Between Stations" Movie Trailer from Stuck Between Stations on Vimeo.
City Pages in conjunction with MPLS.TV made a short behind-the-scenes documentary about the making of Stuck Between Stations:

Here is the Obama Version of Eating Soup With a Knife
Jackie Calmes writes today about President Obama's big problem with Republicans:
In the past, when he has stayed aloof from legislative action, Republicans and others have accused him of a lack of leadership; when he has gotten involved, they have complained that they could not support any bill so closely identified with Mr. Obama without risking the contempt of conservative voters. Representative Chris Van Hollen, Democrat of Maryland, called this predicament Mr. Obama's "Catch-22."
....Other than the stimulus experience in early 2009, the moment that most captured that polarization for the White House occurred a year later. In early 2010 Republican senators, including the minority leader, Senator Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, demanded that Mr. Obama endorse bipartisan legislation to create a deficit-reduction commission. But when he finally did so, they voted against the bill, killing it.
Well, that's what the opposition does: it opposes. If Obama is spending too much, you scream about the deficit. If he cuts spending, you scream that he's endangering the safety of the country. If he refuses to reform Medicare, you scream that entitlements are out of control. If he cuts Medicare spending, you run campaign ads screaming that he's sacrificing Granny on the altar of Obamacare. If he raises taxes, you scream that he's engaged in class warfare. If he lowers taxes, you scream that he's draining the Social Security trust fund.
In other words, any port in a storm. Opposition parties routinely use whatever arguments are at hand. This is hypocritical, of course, but no one cares about hypocrisy unless it's the other guys engaging in it. When your guys do it, you beaver away figuring out clever reasons why this episode isn't really at all like that previous episode. Everyone does this.
It's still pretty annoying, though, isn't it?

you are viewing a single comment's thread.
I agree it is overall a well balanced article. White compared to most of the commentators on Yahoo (and in general really) does actually seem to think before he starts writing.My only issue is a slight disagreement on the purchases. I will grant to date our buys have underwhelmed, while Newcastle on the other have done the opposite, but do think you need to peel the onion on that statement a little.There has been some debate on here about who is responsible for our buys, KD, or Damien. But I'd put up another. Who was responsible for the brief given; Young and British? And, was it the right brief?Newcastle went with an almost opposite approach. The buys were not old men, but were established known internationals. Also, by buying a pair of African players, they got a discount. British players we know have a premium, but with a player a club knows is going to be away for at least a couple weeks every other year there is a discount.I'd also argue they got very, very lucky with Ba. Now one mans luck is another mans smarts, but half a dozen clubs around Europe took a pass on Ba, not because he's not a good player, but he's a known injury risk who's failed a number of physicals. Credit, to Pardew and company for taking that risk and for the fact it paid off, but it's obviously a risk we and many other clubs were not willing to take when Ba was available on a free.Which is the better brief maybe debatable depending on what your goals are. Going for proven obviously will improve a side more in the short term, but is it going to improve the club as well in the long term, and is it the most efficient way to go over the long term. Just to illustrate the point, Spurs got a huge boost to their strike force by bringing in Adebayor on loan, but he'll do sod all for them next term, unless Harry stumps up a load of cash plus add to his wage bill. Great for a short term boost, but I'd say we're still building our foundations, rather than looking for the capstone.

How Steam Cleaners Work
Water is heated past the boiling point and forced out as pressurized steam through a nozzle, brush, or other attachment. The vapor loosens dirt and kills dust mites, mold, staph, and other allergens and harmful bacteria. No suction is required, since the high-heat moisture dries quickly. For heavily soiled surfaces, some manufacturers suggest steam-cleaning first, then wiping away dirt with a cloth before the moisture dries.

Despite a large winter storm that encompassed the area with several inches of snow, sleet and freezing rain, firefighters with the Washington Volunteer Fire Department only had three calls Thursday, Feb. 21.
"I was surprised," Deputy Chief Tim Frankenberg said. "I attribute that to more snow than ice and the great job (highway and street crews) did pretreating the roads."

Comic-Con Trailers: The Best of the Best, Ranked
Film, TV
Creators | Kuroko's Basketball creator Tadatoshi Fujimaki remained silent over the past year while hundreds of threatening letters were sent out to retail stores that sold the manga and anime, venues that hosted doujinshi (fan comics) events connected with it, and even his alma mater, but now that police have arrested a suspect in the case, he has made an official statement. Fujimaki expressed relief that the suspect had been caught, thanked the police who were involved in the investigation, and promised that more chapters of Kuroko's Basketball are on the way. [Anime News Network]
Conventions | Salt Lake Comic Con producer Dan Farr is voicing his support for the construction of a "mega hotel" near the Salt Palace convention center. The Utah state Legislature ended its legislative session without passing a $100 million bill to fund such a hotel, but backers hope to see it revived in the next session. Ticket sales for the 2013 convention topped 50,000, and Farr told the local news station, "A convention center hotel would be a big help for us." [Fox News 13]
In case there were any doubt, Brian Heater has confirmed that the third annual Read Comics in Public Day "is on like Ultron." Once again, it will be held Aug. 28, commemorating the birthday of Jack Kirby, who would have turned 95 this year.
What's Read Comics in Public Day, you ask? It's a worldwide event established in 2010 by Heater and Sarah Morean to encourage fans to promote the medium by, well, reading a comic book in a public place.
Creators | Following the appearance of the Infinity Gauntlet in Thor and the cameo by Thanos in The Avengers, Marvel appears poised to expand the cosmic elements of its cinematic universe with The Guardians of the Galaxy. While some fans eagerly await a movie announcement next week at Comic-Con International, Thanos creator Jim Starlin (who had to buy his own tickets to Thor and The Avengers) may be laying the groundwork for a legal challenge: Heidi MacDonald points out that Starlin has posted an early drawing of the Mad Titan on his Facebook page, writing, "This is probably one of the first concept drawings of Thanos I ever did, long before I started working at Marvel. Jack Kirby's Metron is clearly the more dominant influence in this character's look. Not Darkseid. Both D and T started off much smaller than they eventually became. This was one of the drawings I had in my portfolio when I was hired by Marvel. It was later inked by Rich Buckler." [The Beat]
Comics | Tim Marchman, author of that much-discussed Wall Street Journal article, is at it again, this time interviewing Watchmen editor Len Wein about his work on Before Watchmen, and including the interventions of DC Comics Publicity Manager Pamela Mullin as part of the story. Between the embargo on the comic and Mullin doing her job, it sounds like the most interesting parts of the interview never made it into the final product. [The Daily Beast]

Qawi is a fighter i like, but he never beat a good fighter in his prime, most of qawi's wins are over shot fighters, something that ESB tends to ignore. How do you know for certain that qawi would whoop tarver? hes never really beaten a peak fighter, im sure tarver would have stopped a shot saad muhammad, a shot leon spinks, and a shot mike rossman.
Hagler came up through a far tougher middleweight division than Hopkins and had to wait ages to get his shot before going into the lion's den to face a good champion and winning dominantly before being showered in all kinds of abuse for doing so. He took plenty of risks. He was also 5'9 and had every possible pound packed into his frame; his body just wasn't suited to moving up, much less against a killer like Spinks. Even against the stronger middles like Minter, Sibbo, Vito, Briscoe, Hamsho etc he gave ground. Hopkins is about 6'0/6'1 and was able to gain weight far more effectively with the help of Shilstone.
Can't agree with you about Qawi, I don't think the old version of Hopkins would have touched him with a barge pole. His legs were far too diminished and he was more of a clever, s****py spoiler at that stage imo, which isn't the way to go against Qawi whatever you think of him. I've already said I don't think Hops would have hung around at 175 if there were more world class fighters there, and I'll stick with that.
Jones is undoubtedly a great fighter in retrospect but can you say he was viewed that way at the time? If Hopkins was that much of a risk taker, why not pursue Jones when they were both at their respective peaks when it would have made mega bucks and settled the score? Instead of having a series with Robert Allen?
Anyway, I get the impression we're only going to go in circles here so we'll agree to disagree.

It was a beautiful day at Station Square. Two birds were flying together and couples were holding hands. It was a special day, because it was Valentines Day!
At Rouges house, it was an ordinary day to Shadow. He was looking out the window with an irritating look on his face.
A small growl came out of his lips, How pathetic.
Shadow closed the window and sat down on the couch with is ankles and arms crossed.
Rouge came out of her bedroom and said, Good morning.
Shadow opened one of his eyes and looked at Rouge then closed it.
The ivory bat wanted to ask Shadow something, but she was afraid of his answer. She walked over to where he was a sitting and sat down next to him.
Ummm .Shadow? asked Rouge
Still with his eyes closed he answered, Yes?

Every time I meet with a group of tech company CEOs they say the same thing: hiring world-class talent is one of their biggest challenges. They struggle to find, attract and retain the engineering, scientific and technical talent they need to grow their businesses.
So when I saw the results of our annual Startup Outlook survey this year, I was not surprised. While nine in ten startup executives said they were hiring, an equal number said it is challenging - or extremely challenging - to find workers with the skills they need.
A lover's statement of "whatever it takes" can be quite believable. But can a Central Banker make the assertion with the same credibility?
The FOMC had an uneventful meeting last week. Uneventful, that is, if you consider ongoing balance sheet expansion as "nothing new."
Though it may be nothing new, the Fed's stubborn attitude toward the economy is ramping up the exit risk they will face once the economy catches hold.

The 33-year-old seamer, who is regularly worried by injuries,
claimed career-best match figures of 11-149 as the Plunket
Shield encounter between the Aucklanders and Wellington

Hesson and the New Zealand selectors haven't named their test

Auckland began day four this morning on 233-5 and were
eventually dismissed for 345 as Gillespie took 6-83 to go
with his 5-66 from the first innings.
Gareth Hopkins made his 16th first-class century on his way
to a team-high 121.
Wellington were then left needing 266 for victory, while
Auckland were in search of 10 wickets to pick up an outright
The home side lost Michael Papps and Stephen Murdoch early
only for ducks, but Josh Brodie (86) gave the home side some
direction, while another Black Caps hopeful, Luke Ronchi,
made a breezy 36 before he became one of Bruce Martin's three
The veteran left-arm spinner eventually finished with 3-81 as
Harry Boam and tail-ender Ili Tugaga batted out the final few
overs to ensure Wellington held on for a draw as they closed
play on 199-8.

Lady Colonels' second-half rally comes up short in SLC tournament opener
Published: Tuesday, March 8, 2005 at 11:54 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, March 7, 2005 at 11:00 p.m.
MONROE -- Typically, the No. 8 seeded team is not supposed to challenge the top seed in a conference tournament.
Monday night was an exception to the rule.
Despite being the lowest seed in the Southland Conference women's tournament, Nicholls State pushed the Louisiana-Monroe Lady Indians to the limit. The Lady Colonels rallied from an 11-point halftime deficit and were in position to send the game to overtime in the final minute.
But ULM made four free throws in the final 30 seconds to seal a 72-68 win over the Lady Colonels.
"If we would have cut down on the mistakes early, we could have got them in the second half," NSU guard Jamie Octave said. "We had them on their heels."
Trailing by 11, the Lady Colonels (8-20) started to make their comeback midway in the second half. Baskets by Nkechi Nwachukwu, Katherine Plummer and Octave help NSU trim its deficit to six points, 48-42.
After a basket by ULM's Melanie Williams, Nicholls scored five straight points to make the score 50-47.
The Lady Indians (21-7) started to pull away, outscoring Nicholls 14-7 for a 64-54 lead. Nina Randle sparked ULM with eight points in the run.
Nicholls charged back and cut its deficit to 66-63 after Octave completed a three-point play with 1:35 left in the game.
But ULM made the key baskets and free throws to keep it a two possession game. Four free throws in the final 30 seconds sealed the Lady Indians' 72-58 win.
Nicholls State coach Mark Cook said his team made the comeback by playing smart in the second half.
"They did a good job, especially in the second half," he said. "We did a good job of executing our offense and getting some easy baskets. We were also tougher defensively when we didn't let them get their cuts and made them have to score tough baskets."
Nicholls climbed back in the game by shooting 62.1 percent in the second half. The Lady Colonels shot 48.9 percent for the game.
Octave led Nicholls with 17 points, and Nwachukwu and Plummer scored 14 and 13 points, respectively.
Monday's game marked the third time Nicholls and ULM met in the conference tournament. The Lady Indians won all three meetings.
Despite the win, ULM coach Mona Martin said she was disappointed with her team's performance.
"I was worried about the first game, and I think we were very nervous. I was not real pleased with our defensive effort. We held them to 34 points the last time. We gave up too many easy baskets.
The first half, however, was a different story, as ULM controlled the game on both sides of the court.
The Lady Indians' defense dictated the tempo in the first half by forcing 16 turnovers, including 10 steals. ULM scored 18 points off the Lady Colonels' turnovers.
Randle led ULM's first-half defensive charge with four steals and 16 points.
"We just didn't do a good job of knowing where the interceptor was," Cook said. "We kept on just throwing the ball and forgetting where (Randle) was. We didn't want to throw the ball where she was."
Randle helped the Lady Indians take a 16-6 lead midway in the first half on back-to-back baskets.
"I think Nina played outstanding," Martin said. "To me she was the only player that came out ready to play. She hit the baskets and scored for us."
Nicholls didn't help itself, shooting 27.8 percent from the field.
But free throw shooting helped the Lady Colonels stay within striking distance.
Nicholls made 10-of-12 free throws in the first half, preventing ULM from taking control of the game.
The Lady Colonels trimmed their deficit to six points on two occasions -- a 3-pointer by Octave and two free throws by Tarin Seely -- but the couldn't get any closer.
Leading 25-19, the Lady Indians closed out the first half outscoring NSU 7-2 for the 32-21 halftime lead.
"That's basically our game," Nwachukwu said. "We always start out kind of slow and pick it up in the second half. Sometimes it hurt us, but we usually find a way to come through."

The company that runs the vps suggested i use csf here but that again wouldnt start up. I then tried modifying IPTables directly, but now that wont start up either. Reading through similar, it looks like its open VZ thats giving me the headache, but is there anyway i can get a firewall up and running on my current set up?

Updated: Robert Gibbs Says Liberal Critics of President Obama Should Stop Doing So Many Drugs
The White House is angry with the "professional left."
With the midterm elections fast approaching, the fate of the Democratic majority in the House may hinge on the enthusiasm of the party's liberal base, and its willingness to actually haul its collective ass to the voting booths. Unfortunately for the Democrats, Republican voters have been, and continue to be, a lot more enthusiastic this year. The enthusiasm gap is only made worse when President Obama is pilloried by the "professional left" such as liberal television commentators, who could be, if they were so inclined, the administration's cheerleaders. But many of them haven't been so inclined.
As you might imagine, this situation is frustrating for the White House. Obama has managed, despite the unprecedented permanent threat of a filibuster in the Senate, to pass health-care reform, financial reform, and legislation mandating equal pay for women. He's pulling out of Iraq like he said he would, and is in the process of ending "don't ask, don't tell." Oh, and he saved the auto industry from collapse and prevented the economy from a full depression.
And yet the liberals complain: Health care didn't have a public option! The stimulus wasn't big enough! The repeal of "don't ask, don't tell" is moving too slowly! Your position on gay marriage is confusing! Obama probably feels like Russell Crowe in Gladiator: "Are you not entertained!?!"
But instead of throwing a sword into the balcony where the professional left is sitting, startling them and knocking over their goblets of wine, he's having Press Secretary Robert Gibbs question their sobriety, and sanity.
"I hear these people saying he's like George Bush. Those people ought to be drug tested," Gibbs said. "I mean, it's crazy."
The press secretary dismissed the "professional left" in terms very similar to those used by their opponents on the ideological right, saying, "They will be satisfied when we have Canadian healthcare and we've eliminated the Pentagon. That's not reality."
Of those who complain that Obama caved to centrists on issues such as healthcare reform, Gibbs said: "They wouldn't be satisfied if Dennis Kucinich was president."
Who knows whether this is going to win over any converts on the "professional left," but it probably feels damn good to say.
White House unloads anger over criticism from 'professional left' [Hill]
Update: Gibbs is reconsidering the wisdom of attacking his base. Calling his remarks "inartful," Gibbs tells the Huffington Post that "we should all, me included, stop fighting each other and arguing about our differences on certain policies, and instead work together to make sure everyone knows what is at stake because we've come too far to turn back now."

AbstractTo realize next generation missile defense radar systems with a significant improvement in performance requires more cost effective system implementations. Software defined radar (SDR) technologies together with field programmable gate array (FPGA) implementations promise reusable and low cost DREX multichannel receivers in smaller form factors. Real time firmware reconfiguration enables radar mode modifications in response to dynamic signal environments. To validate these capabilities and advantages, our team will investigate three advanced missile defense radar SDR benchmarks: 1) multichannel digital equalizers to compensate for manufacturing variances, 2) dynamically assignable channelized (DAC) filtering to enable spectral resource management and 3) multichannel independent phase dithering for system spur reduction. We will follow a modular, macro-based firmware development process that maximizes firmware maintenance and reuse. Our existing DREX prototyping testbed will be used to demonstrate the channelized SDR firmware. The innovative spur reduction processing incorporates novel SDR firmware into unique chip-level CMOS synthesizer hardware developed by our research partner. Application consistency is maintained through the use of ROSA open system interfaces. Our team's unique background in missile defense radar research enables us to conduct hardware tradeoffs of SDR radar technology during Phase I to confirm the benefits of software defined radar technology.

The final pick of the draft, ending the 15-hour, 15-minute extravaganza, was South Carolina placekicker Ryan Succop.
Selected 256th overall by Kansas City, the 22-year-old Succop was a three-year regular kicker for the Gamecocks. Being picked last carries the distinction of getting called "Mr. Irrelevant."
"I don't really mind it. I don't plan on being irrelevant," Succop said. "I've been very blessed and I plan on making an impact right away. I've been blessed with the ability to do it and I'm looking forward to doing it."
What's the best part of being the last man drafted?
"The best part of it is having an opportunity to play in the NFL. Whether it's the middle pick or the last pick, I'm just happy to have the opportunity."
The seventh South Carolina player chosen this year -- all in the final five rounds -- Succop made 20 field goals in 30 attempts last season, scoring 90 points. His longest kick was a 54-yarder as the Gamecocks went 7-6.
Succop actually was more accurate as a sophomore and junior, going a combined 29-for-37 on field goals.
The 6-foot-3, 221-pound Succop also punted two seasons for the Gamecocks, averaging 42 yards. He did not punt as a senior.

Foreign Box Office Funds Hollywood Production, Dodd Says
Rising international ticket sales will help fund more movie production as the global audience for entertainment expands, said Christopher Dodd, chairman of the Motion Picture Association of America.
China's recent decision to allow increased distribution foreign films is one example of how the global box office is increasing revenue for the U.S. film industry, Dodd said today at the CinemaCon trade show in Las Vegas.
Hollywood films are generating twice as much ticket revenue outside the domestic market -- the U.S. and Canada. Last year, international sales rose 7 percent to $22.4 billion, helped by a 35 percent jump in China. Domestic sales dropped 4 percent to $10.2 billion, according to MPAA figures.
"Those international ticket sales will fund more production around the world, which means more and better movies," Dodd, a former Democratic Senator, said in prepared remarks.
In February, China expanded the annual quota of foreign films to 34 from 20. The additional 14 slots will be devoted to pictures formatted for large-screen or 3-D presentation. The share of ticket sales collected by foreign producers was expanded to 25 percent from 13 percent.
The Washington-based MPAA represents the six largest U.S. movie studios, including News Corp.'s Twentieth Century Fox, Time Warner Inc.'s Warner Bros., Comcast Corp.'s Universal Pictures, Viacom Inc.'s Paramount Pictures and Sony Corp.'s Sony Pictures Entertainment.
