An exploration of the United States' dan dan mian noodle scene reveals "intricacies [that] can tear families apart and bring close friends to blows." But Chuan Yu Noodle Town, which "isn't quite set up for non-Chinese customers" is a "specialist," offering a "bowl, bright red, mined with Sichuan peppercorns, ya cai slippery, fried peanuts extra crunchy, noodles dense but not unpleasantly so, sesame paste sparingly applied." [L.A. Weekly]
S. Irene Virbila is astonished at how popular Wolfgang's Steakhouse is on the Beverly Hills pimp scene. Scooting by some hot shot with a lady on each arm, she finds, "Other than one truly great steak, the porterhouse for two, the restaurant doesn't have much else to recommend." Even though it's closely following the Peter Luger model, "greasy, burned" spuds, unripe tomatoes, overly breaded crabcakes, and overcooked steaks have her convinced, "you should get more for your money." [L.A. Times]
Does J. Gold cook at home? Como no! Though he does admit he sometimes cooks for ten and "then realizes that he has forgotten to invite anybody to dinner." He tours the most battered cookbooks in his collection, starting with good ole Marion Cunningham, book-ending Rick Bayless and his wife, along with Alice Waters, in the middle, and declares Bittman's How to Cook Everything "the Boy's Own Joy of Cooking" even if it is the "most shoddily bound cookbook ever to hit the shelves." [L.A. Weekly]
Merrill Shindler says he predicted the rise of the gastro-pub, the "Anglo cognate for the Japanese small-plate-and-beers joints called izakaya." He has three to frequent on the Pacific coast, guess-timating that it would take two years of weekly visits to digest the beer list at Congregation Ale House, shouting out Waterloo & City, and adoring the brown sugar glazed pork ribs at Hudson House. [Daily Breeze]
Despite "a few duds," Jonathan Gold is pretty pleased with Xiomara having ditched its Cuban roots. New chef Michael Reed, a Sona and Mozza vet, has made it "again a restaurant to watch" with his "pork-on-pork-on-pork-on-pork" braised pork chop with pancetta, kale, and pork jus and a standout seared sea bass with butternut squash. [L.A. Weekly]
Los Angeles magazine visits Cleo and while the offal selection is "impressive," it feels that the "supersize menu from chef Daniel Elmaleh needs focus" and "those sugar-rimmed cocktails have got to go." [Los Angeles]

dr jenner's house
The chantry - the place where history happened
The Chantry is the house that Edward Jenner owned from 1785 until his death in 1823. The house that you see today dates from 1740s. It is thought there has been a building here since at least the Anglo-Saxon period.
Following Jenner's death, The Chantry was sold by his descendants in 1876. In 1885 it was sold again to the Church of England. It then became the Vicarage for Berkeley, replacing the old vicarage where Edward Jenner had been born in 1749. The Chantry remained the vicarage until it was purchased to house a museum to honour Jenner in the early 1980s. The Jenner Trust launched an appeal to raise funds to buy the house.
The encouragement and support of the British Society for Immunology and the World Health Organization played a significant role in obtaining donations from companies in the pharmaceutical and other sectors of industry. Success came largely because of a substantial donation from Mr Ryoichi Sasakawa of Japan.
Dr jenner's house - the museum
The Edward Jenner Museum at The Chantry opened to the public in 1985. A separate building that had once been Jenner's stables was converted to house a small conference centre. In 1996, two rooms on the first floor of The Chantry were converted into an exhibition of immunology. The museum had quietly but significantly changed its role.
Originally it had been primarily retrospective, looking back at the achievements of Edward Jenner himself and protecting the home in which he had worked. After 1996, the Edward Jenner Museum became proactive in promoting a public understanding of immunology, the science underlying Jenner's work and which developed from it.
In 2011, the name of the organisation was changed from The Edward Jenner Museum to 'Dr Jenner's House and Garden, the Birthplace of Vaccination', to make it clear that this is a landmark building where Jenner lived and worked.
Dr Jenner's House is owned and administered by The Jenner Trust, a registered charity (1158316). Its primary objectives are to preserve the property and its contents, to promote the knowledge of Jenner and his work and the science of immunology that resulted from it.
Displays and interpretation combine science and history for all learning levels to inspire all generations, particularly focusing on Jenner's greatest accomplishment - vaccination. Click the titles on the submenu to learn more about the beautiful gardens, what's on and what you will expect to see during a visit to Dr Jenner's House.

White House Threatens Veto of Abortion Bill
The White House Monday threatened to veto House Republicans' latest effort to curb abortions, issuing a blunt statement in opposition to a bill going to the House floor for a vote Tuesday that would ban all abortions after 20 weeks following fertilization.
The bill is given no chance of being passed by the Democratic-controlled Senate but is strongly supported by the antiabortion movement.
The bill sets the 20-week limit on allowable abortions based on some scientists' theory that fetuses can feel pain at that stage of development.
The White House's veto threat, included in its formal statement of administration policy issued on the eve of the House vote, said the bill "would unacceptably restrict women's health and reproductive rights and is an assault on a woman's right to choose.''
Rep. Trent Franks (R.Ariz.), sponsor of the bill, said that abortions beyond 20 weeks amount to "knowingly subjecting our innocent unborn children to dismemberment in the womb.''
The bill was approved on a largely party line vote by the House Judiciary Committee last week, amid controversy not just over the bill but also over a statement Mr. Franks made when arguing against an amendment would have exempted pregnancies that were the result of rape or incest from the bill's strict limits. Mr. Franks provoked outrage when he suggested that " the incidence of rape resulting in pregnancy are very low." said Mr. Franks during the hearing – a claim that abortion-rights advocates disputed.
Hoping to quell that firestorm, GOP leaders have added a last-minute revision that would allow exceptions for rape or incest victims but only if they reported the crime.

Buying your first home is exciting. But because it can be the biggest investment you will make, it's an important decision.
Here are some typical questions, with answers from various expert sources:
Question: How much of a down payment do I need?
Answer: The more money you can put toward a down payment, the less you'll need to borrow and the more you'll save in interest over the years.
If you have at least a 20-per-cent down payment, you won't have to pay mortgage default insurance premiums, which are normally added to your mortgage payments.
Question: What are the benefits of getting a mortgage pre-approval?
Answer: The major advantage is that you will have a clear understanding of exactly what you can afford before you start house-hunting. With pre-approval, your lender will give you written confirmation of the maximum amount you can borrow along with a guaranteed interest rate, usually for a term of 120 days, so you can take your time finding the home that's right for you.
In the current market, there is little pressure to make snap decisions.
When you go for pre-approval, be prepared to provide pay stubs, and employment and down payment verification. If your down payment is a gift from a family member, you may need to provide a gift letter.
Question: What extra costs should I budget for?
Answer: One of the most important pieces of advice is to remember there are several costs involved beyond the home, itself — both one-time and ongoing costs. These can add up, so it's important to factor them into your budget.
One-time costs may include:
• Appraisal fees;
• Survey costs;
• Land transfer taxes;
• Moving expenses;
• Legal fees (allow for about 1 1/2 per cent of the purchase price);
• Property and school tax adjustment;
• Heating, electricity and water adjustment;
• Title insurance;
• Utility connections;
• Home inspection fee.
In addition to your mortgage payment, ongoing housing costs can include:
• Home insurance;
• Property taxes;
• Mortgage life insurance;
• Heating, hydro and water costs;
• Condominium fees or home maintenance costs;
• Telecommunication costs — phones, Internet access and cable.
Question: Any tips of things to watch for while I'm house-hunting?
Answer: Start with location, location, location. Choose your neighbourhood. Think about the house features that are important to you.
Some other things to consider:
• Does the floor plan layout and outdoor area suit your needs?
• Will your current furniture and appliances fit in?
• Is there room to grow if you're planning to start a family in the near future?
• Does the property represent good resale value?
• Is the present property tax rate reasonable.
The condition of the home is also important. Repairs, replacements and renovations can add a lot to the purchase price.
You might want to consider hiring a home inspector to do a comprehensive inspection to identify any deficiencies, particularly those that may cost a lot of money to repair in the near future.
Question: I think I've found a home I really like. Any other advice before I make an offer?
Answer: Whether you're buying a pre-owned home, new home or a condo, there are a number of things to keep in mind:
• If you're buying a fixer-upper, are you capable of doing the work yourself. or are you a candidate for the television show, Disaster DIY? If you're going to hire a contractor, get quotes before you commit so you know if they will fit into your budget.
• If it's a brand new home, write down all the deficiencies and check them off as the builder attends to them.
• If you're moving into a condo, request two years of condominium corporation financial statements and copies of recent board minutes. These can help alert you to any problems with the building and big-ticket repairs that may be coming up that may not be covered by the condo's reserve fund. Also, be clear on what the condo fees provide. For example, are utilities included or extra? Be prepared to pay more for a development that has a recreation centre or pool.
• Would you like to re-paint or install new flooring? If so, try to overlap your apartment move-out date and your possession date. It will reduce the stress and be much easier to do this work before you move in all your furniture.
• Last but not least — unless you have an unlimited budget — you won't be able to make all of the improvements you're planning right away.
Ask yourself: can I move in today and be satisfied with the way things are until I can save more money?
If the answer is "no," you're better off to keep looking.
Question: I'm young and healthy. What do I need mortgage protection, disability or health crisis insurance for?
Answer: You can't predict the future, but you can protect it.
If something happens to you, the last thing that you want your loved ones to be worrying about is how they'll afford the mortgage payments or maintain the lifestyle that they have right now.
With these types of insurance, in the event of the death of the insured person, or an unexpected health crises, the insurer would pay the outstanding balance of the mortgage.
Premiums are generally quite affordable, and are based on your age and mortgage balance on the date that you apply.
There is a lot to be said for peace of mind.

NEW! NCTE Literacy Resource
The National Council of Teachers of English (NCTE) has a website which includes teaching resources intended to help improve adolescent literacy. NCTE states, "Adolescents are already reading in multiple ways when they enter secondary classrooms, using literacy as a social and political endeavor in which they engage to make meaning and act upon their worlds. Their texts range from clothing logos to music to specialty magazines to Web sites to popular and classical literature. In the classroom it is important for teachers to recognize and value the multiple literacy resources students bring to the acquisition of school literacy." http://www.ncte.org/collections/adolescentliteracy
NEW! NCTE Multimodal Literacy Website
The National Council of Teachers of English (NCTE) also has a website that addresses multimodal literacies. NCTE states that, "In today's world literacy means--in addition to interacting with print texts--recognizing how texts are produced and understanding how multimodal forms of representation convey meaning. This means that students engage with a variety of texts, both print and multimodal, as they learn. NCTE is taking the lead in defining how emergent technologies are used to teach language, literacies, and critical thinking skills as well as how ethical considerations can guide the use of various technologies."

This is my first review but second visit to The Wallflower Modern Diner. This restaurant was also featured on You Gotta Eat Here.
First Visit:My guy friend and I came here at 5:30 on a weekday to celebrate his change of marital status from single to married. He is the type of guy that swear he will be single for life, yet he is the first one to get married…what a guy! BACK TO FOOD. The restaurant was barely full, so we sat where we wanted. This is definitely a hipster kind of place by just looking the waiter and waitress. From watching You Gotta Eat Here!, I have already decided to get the Fried Chicken. I was hoping to persuade my guy friend to get either the nacho or the Meatloaf Wellington but he opted for a good old burger. We also shared the hummus and eggplant dip.
They have a variety of vegan options but me being with a major carnivore, we didn't even bother looking at the vegan selections.
This is where you have to use your imagination and trust me on my words since I LOST THE PICTURES! 🙁 I apologize!! This was before we got back into blogging…back in May 2013? Well, not that long ago actually.
The Fried Chicken WAS FANTASTIC! The skin was super crispy and flavourful but not disgustingly oily. The chicken meat was moist, juicy and succulent! The dish consisted of 2 HUGE PIECES of chicken breasts with a side of mashed potato and gravy and sauteed onions. The mashed potato was creamy and smooth with a hint of garlic. I loved the chicken gravy as it wasn't overly salty but still retains the flavor of the chicken. The whole dish was just so good! After one piece, I was full but I kept eating because it was so delicious and I can't stop! I did end up polishing the plate. Even my guy friend was super impressed although he was a tad disappointed he didn't get any left over as I promised him. I think later that night, I had a stomach ache from over indulgence. That dish definitely blew me over and I would order it again, except maybe be less selfish and share.
My guy friend ordered the Ordinary burger. It was pretty good? The patty was charred and tasty. The fries were those big starchy ones. He craved a good burger after being in HK for a while.
The hummus and eggplant dip was disappointing. They just lacking something in both dips? The bread that was served with the dips were not enough and they were hard and stale. Not a dish I would reorder.
Service…you are at a hipster place so please don't expect TOO TOO much. Our water glasses were never empty and we got what we need in a reasonable amount of time.
Second Visit:
My gfs…let's give them identities shall we? They are the 2 girls I often dine with and knew my secret life of a food blogger ;p Let's call them X-ray girl and Oxygen girl. Since they live in Burnaby and New West, it is kind of rare they are coming to Vancouver. After church, I got a text from them saying they will be in Vancouver checking out a farmer's market! I decided to meet up with them since I am close by. They agreed to my suggestion to Wallflower.
It was around 1:45pm when we walked in and the place was busy. We did get promptly seated as one table just left. Both girls opted for brunch food and I ate prior meeting up with them. I picked a simple dish of salsa and chips and they ordered Peach Waffles and Breakfast Poutine.
Let's go with my salsa and chips. About 20 min after I ordered, the waitress came back to inform me that there was no more nacho chips in the restaurant! Really?! Consider one of their more famous dish is the Nachos (esp the vegan version), how can you not have nacho chips! But that's ok, I picked the meatloaf wellington which was what I wanted to try the first time. Since the food of the other girls already arrived, the waitress said she will put a rush on the order and she kept her words.
The presentation of it as a side dish doesn't look all that impressive. From what I remember, a lot of dill pickles are added to the meatloaf. To me, the sourness of it is a bit strong and it doesn't jive well with the saltiness of the beef gravy? I wish there was more of the phyllo dough around the meatloaf to at least absorb the gravy. The girls and myself did not particularly enjoy this dish. We left a third of it unfinished.
Oxygen girl wanted both savory and sweet so she got the Peach Waffles with a side of bacon. She is a smart one I tell ya. Definitely a disappointing dish though. It cannot be mistaken that the 2 slices of peach were canned peaches due to the syrup taste. The restaurant used such a big plate for 2 liege waffles with 2 slices of peaches and some bacon. The whole plate is drenched with syrup in which Oxygen girl told me it made the waffles too soggy. The liege waffles were light and soft at the beginning but as time goes on it became less and less appetizing. Oxygen girl just ate one waffles and that was it.
I think the only decent dish that all 3 of us ate was X-ray girl's breakfast poutine. X-ray girl cannot eat non0fully cooked eggs. Instead of having the 2 poached eggs, she asked for scramble eggs! Thank goodness we won't have a messy egg yolk situation for me ;p Instead of fries, potato cubes are used…I guess you can call it hashbrown too? The chicken gravy tied everything in. BUt beside the bacon, cheese curds, potato and gravy, this dish isn't outstanding. Compared to the other dishes on the table, we all liked this breakfast poutine the best. We picked at her dish instead of ours…hahaha
To my surprise, the restaurant was constantly busy! People stream inc continuously and ordering brunch at 3pm! I guess brunch is offered till 4pm as advertised. Again, not much service but just enough to get by.
I don't know how I feel about this place anymore! half good and half bad…maybe I just need to try it out for a 3rd time and opt for dinner food…that might be better! It is a neat little place to go. Beware that there is no free parking, only meter parking around that area!

Generally speaking, I am not a fan of top ten lists but my pals here at Bloody Good Horror have been doing them around this time of year for a while so I figured, "what the hell". There are rules, though. All albums must be original studio releases from the year that was 2014. No live albums, no cover albums and no re-releases. And, to streamline things, I will limit my list to those metal albums I've reviewed this year. Lastly, this list is comprised of the ten best albums as I see them. Your list may be (and probably is) different.
Editor's Note – As is always the rule with Mayhem Fest, one man can't see it all. Any words you see below pertain only to those acts I saw, and anyone not mentioned is not an omission or a slight – I simply didn't get to see them amidst running around for interview opportunities, photo ops and the like. C'est la vie.
What would a heavy metal album be without some crazy sub-genre label? Nu metal, alternative metal, metalcore, latin metal - these are just some of the genres used to describe New Jersey band Ill Nino. I'm going to use one word to describe their newest record; intense.
Ill Nino has just released their latest album titled "Till Death, La Familia". As I mentioned, their sound has been described as "Latin Metal" which intrigued me to say the least. This record is heavy on the heavy with some spectacular Latin percussion throughout.

Spare 10 rd Mag KJW Gas M700
$ 34.99
Spare 10 rd Mag KJW Gas M700 - Quantity:
Registered User Login:
- Great magazineIn reply to the "ten shots only?" reveiw, its a SNIPER RIFLE magazine. Its not an AEG magazine. It is not meant to hold 300 rounds. Also the real Remington M700 BDL (the model with a detechable mag) only holds 3-5 rounds depending on the caliber. This KJW mag has a great build quality but is not very durable. Like with most airsoft guns, if you drop it, it will break. I was using my friends KJW M700 Take Down and i accidentally droped the mag out of the gun. The mag then started to unevenly distribute gas every time I fired the gun. So i had to buy him a new magazine!
My advice, dont't drop the mag!
- 1 shot 1 kill?First off - The "Sniper Motto"
everyone that says the sniper motto, "1 shot 1 kill" should realize that airsoft sniper rifles and real sniper rifles are VERY different, one goes a 6000 feet the other one goes 200 feet. In airsoft when your getting rushed by 2-3 people who have automatics, your not likely to fire 3 rounds and hit each and every one of them without getting hit quite a few times. If you think you can get 1 shot one kill i suggest you take a magazine filled with 1 bb. And give somebody else an AEG with 400 rounds and lets see who will win shall we?
Second off - The magazine itself
Overall the magazine is well built but even the glorious sniper should have more then 10 rounds in its magazine...ill give it a 3 out of 5.
- ten shots only?ten shots is horrible in my opinion but emore of a reason to get a few extra mags.other than the cappacity everything else is great.durrability seems pretty good.and looks kinda cool(as far as magazines go)if you get this gun deffinetly get a couple of these.hope this helped.4 stars -atomic duck
- 10 rounds is not that muchMost sniper rifle mags hold around 25 rounds but this one is 10. Atomic duck is not dumb he didn't say he wanted 300 rounds. 10 shots is not good for any type of airsoft gun. 10 shots for $35 it should be 25 shots for $30.
- Good mag if u know what ur doing holding a sniper rifle...this is a SNIPER rifle not a f***ing aeg it was designed to take out targets quickly, quietly and efficiently from a place out of the line of fire, if u are incapable of keeping ur gun in good enough condition to keep it consitantly accurate then way to go u just threw 300$ down the drain the rifle that uses this mag is a high end gun and will shoot accurately if taken care of that means a case, lubing after every war and exremely gentle handling. now if u are incapable of landing a shot on the first try then drop the f***ing sniper and go spend the money on a good aeg 280$ is more than enough to get a decent gun.
as for the mag if u have the touch to be a sniper and u land hits on the first try then this is a very good investment it is a 10 round mag not huge capacity but more than enough to take out the guy in ur sights i personally dont play sniper anymore but i still do hold a very high rank in the rifle squad at cadets. i can get a half inch grouping from 50 yrds... i do not miss...
i shoot a bolt action winchester .22 or a smith and wesson .45 neither of these guns even have clips u load directly into the ejection port.
So i say again if u arent cut out to snipe then go get an aeg when u can hit a moving target consitently on the first shot then we'll talk about investing on a 300$ sniper.
ps i dont mean to be an asshole im just tryin to tell you who is cut out to use this kind of thing... it disturbs me that any kid with $$$ can go out and buy a gun that has a 10 round clip then complain about it not being a good gun it just puts way to many posers out there.
-.22 shooter -> base "target neutralized"
- 10 rounds is bad...Yea Right I just received my KJW M700 Non-Takedown model a few days ago. ... The whole point of a sniper is one shot one kill. Ten rounds could last me about 2 rounds. The rounds could be anywhere between thirty minutes to an hour and all I would need was ten shots. This is a very reliable magazine tha is compatible with the Tanaka model as well as the KJW. There is also a high capacity magazine for the Tanka that is also compatible with the KJW. Overall this magazine is a good buy.
- Ghillie
- AgreamentI agree with Bgwheeler airsoft sniper rifles and real rifles are totally different objects. and yes the snipers motto is "one shot one kill" I know this because my older brother is an ex-marine scout/sniper.
- Its that way for a reason!When you buy a sniper rifle you just adopted a certain type of warfare with it and that is the Sniper Warfare. As a sniper, in Airsoft or in real life, you do not just charge out and start shooting you find a spot where you can't be seen and quietly and patently neutralize the target. If you are found you have failed, straight out! You also conserve your rounds so ten rounds is all you need. There is a complicated art to sniping. Its hard, but very satisfying if you can get it right.
- Follow upFollowing Ghillie's comment, the Tanaka mag that holds 29 will work with the KJW m700p. Take Down I don't know since I never used it, but I would guess it also does. Its about 2 times as much as this mag, $80 or so. So thats about 10 more rounds. I would go ahead and pick one of those up.
But to review this mag. I have a HPA system rigged and bought another one of these in case of a mess up. Well now I have 2 mags, one 10 rounds, the other 29, on propane(for back up) and one 10 round mag on HPA. Over all this mag is well built. Price of course could drop a little.
- Awsome sniper magAtomic duck you are an idiot. Like Sniper777 said this is a SNIPER mag NOT AEG MAG! Anyway good looks but dont drop it or else you will get the problems stated by Sniper.

Joe Field: How do Comics do in a Down Economy?
by Matt Price
Date: 05 September 2008 Time: 08:12 AM ET
Economics and Comics: Talking Shop
Like any nonessential item, comic books could be considered a luxury in recessionary times. But with a relatively low price point and the ability to transport readers temporarily from their real-life worries, comics have done well historically during recessions.With comics prices rising, and the emergence of the graphic novel, will that stay true with today's economic conditions? I talked to Joe Field, ComicsPRO president and owner of Flying Colors Comics and Other Cool Stuff in Concord, Calif., about his take on comics and the recession.
'90/'91 '00/'01 '07/'08
Avg Sale $10.50 $22.10 $29.18
Avg Price (periodicals sold) 1.66 2.90 3.29
Comics/Transaction 1.75 3.04 4.3These stats reflect that the price increases from each period to the next had no noticeable effect on how many comics were purchased by our customers. Granted there are other factors that go into this — like how effective our promotion has been, how our customers and product mix have matured, how available stock has been (it was much more of a crap-shoot when there were a dozen distributors), etc. NRAMA: Where do you anticipate more price resistance — reading material or ancillary merchandise like statues and toys? JF: I'm already seeing a softer market for higher-end statues and busts. Toys have slowed a bit. I think that's related to the "cake vs. the frosting" analogy. For most of our customers, comics and trades are the cake, while toys and statues are the frosting. Consumers are most likely to cut from the top layer of frosting first, before they get all the way to reducing the size of their cake. And that's a bit of what we're seeing. I've always noticed that as certain categories, like toys and statues/busts are saturated by so many different companies having licenses, consumer choices are muddled and the overall category takes a hit. I'm sure that's likely to be the case even more in a difficult economy. There is always a "nesting" factor with economic downturns. We've seen it this summer with the high gas prices, many reports have shown that people have decided to stay home for vacation — they're calling them "staycations." When readers have time at home, they read! So I'm hopeful and confident that the comics market will weather this storm very well. NRAMA: Have you seen readers shift any of their comics dollars — either to comic store staples like back issues, or to discount merchandise? JF: In tough times, everyone is looking for a bargain. While we have a selection of discounted back issues, we haven't really seen a shift of dollars to lower-priced comics, simply a shift away from higher priced non-essentials. We have also been ahead of the curve in terms of delivering excellent values throughout the store while still not being a discounter. Anyone who makes a $25 purchase with Flying Colors receives a "FlyCo Bonus Pack" which has another four comics in it for free. This has been a great way for readers to find series that they may not be currently reading. And it works out that with every qualifying purchase, the customer here is rewarded with a pack of comics with a retail cover price of $9-14. NRAMA: Will comic-book brick-and-mortar stores be more likely to face competition from online retailers during a tough economy? What's the best way for comic book stores to compete? JF: I expect online business will continue to grow during the tough times because that is the trend of what's going on in the U.S. economy, not just the comics' market. Our competition comes from a variety of sources, not just from online stores that sell comics related stuff. My experience tells me that the more prepared and better-operated brick-and-mortar stores will come through whatever happens in good shape. During the last downturn, from '00-'02, Flying Colors remodeled to better reflect the growing book category for comics. Our sales from '00-'07 at Flying Colors have been up each and every year since. 2008 will likely be the year that breaks the string, although I'm hopeful we'll have a strong finish to an otherwise flat year. And we also remodeled again in early '08 to better maximize our limited space and move even further toward responding to the growing sales of trade paperbacks and graphic novels. It's incumbent upon all retailers to keep finding creative new ways to reach out to find new readers for comics and new customers for us. That is a big part of our jobs! The best way to compete is still to work hard, work smart, listen well and respond to what our customers are wanting. NRAMA: What kinds of programs does ComicsPRO offer to help retailers as they traverse a tough economy? JF: An essential part of ComicsPRO's mission is to help our member retailers reduce the fixed costs we all incur. To that end, we have a real money-saver in our credit-card processing program through Chase Paymentech. Many of our retailers are also taking advantage of preferential deals we have with ADP Payroll processing, Assurant Health, Sports Images for comic supplies, among other member services found here. (www.comicspro.org/services.html) On top of the cost-saving benefits, ComicsPRO members have each other to lean on for advice, for experience and for a way of presenting retailer concerns to the larger industry. Our membership represents many of the finest retailers in the business — many have not only weathered previous economic storms, but have prospered through the tough times. I've been in this business for over 20 years, and I learn from ComicsPRO members pretty much every single day. There really is "strength in numbers" and the best way for comics specialty retailers to get that is by joining and being active in ComicsPRO. Matt Price blogs daily at Nerdage (http://blog.newsok.com/nerdage) and is the co-owner, with his wife, Annette, of Speeding Bullet Comics (www.speedingbulletcomics.com) in Norman, Okla.

The break is over and we resume the Rock 'n' Roll Rumble tonight at TT The Bears Four more bands will "battle" to win the night and move on to the semi-finals next week. If you're just joining the Rumble fray, 3 nights of competition have passed, and 3 more are ahead of us. That means 12 more bands. See previous posts for all the bands that have played. Everyone in the Class of 2013 is fantastic – check them all out. Like other nights, a diverse mix of styles will grace the stage. Come out and enjoy the variety that the Boston music scene has to offer. Here's who you'll see tonight:
Wednesday is the traditional Day of Rest for the Rock 'n' Roll Rumble. A well-deserved rest. The Rumble resumes on Thursday, then Friday and Saturday for the final nights of the preliminaries. We move on to the semi-finals next. More on that later. The Rumble is FAR from over! Let's recap what's happened so far this week – 3 winners, 16 bands in total that rock the hell out of TT The Bear's. Check the links below to see what it was like. Big thanks to Sophia's Rock Beat for posting the video!
Tonight! TT The Bears! If you go on Spotify and search for Rumble 2013, you can listen to playlists to get you stoked. Pick up some tunes from the bands and make your own mix. Follow the bands – you'll want to check them out live, and they'll be playing nearby soon. Falling in love with local music is good for you, and good for everyone. Last night Camden went home with first place. The New Highway Hymnal won the night before The bands of Night 3 are below – who will win tonight?
The New Highway Hymnal won Night 1 of the Rumble last night. Congratulations to all the bands! See yesterday's post for their information. Tonight it continues! TT The Bear's is the place to see the next batch of Rumble contenders. Check the TT's calendar for all the other bands playing this week. The Rock 'n' Roll Rumble only comes but once a year. Luckily, you have several days to celebrate! Check out tonight's line-up below.
Tonight kicks off the first of 6 nights of the Rock 'n' Roll Rumble! Have you heard about this? As simply as I can put it – it's a week-long local music fest disguised as a contest that will get you interested, engaged and screaming your lungs out for some of the finest bands that rock the city of Boston. Several bands have played live here on WMFO and we couldn't be happier for their chance to rock the Rumble. Check out excellent previews in the Big Media here, here and here.
We're not going to delve into a lot of detail, because it's starting in a few short hours! Here's a GREAT excuse to wake up tomorrow exhausted, voiceless and exhilarated…and then do it again on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday. It happens at TT the Bear's. Go early for the reception (starts at 8pm) and make a full evening of it. Every Rumble night you'll see bands with their A game. Below is a quick and dirty overview and hopefully the push you need to get out the door.
April 1st may have passed and but there are always fools afoot. Here are some local music recommendations for those who want to get in April's foolish spirit.
1. Mod Gun
Last year, Mod Gun released their album "Fools". Gritty, unique punk rock with lyrics you actually want to listen to. This band has everything going for it. Download their releases from Bandcamp. While you're there, check out their song Clover – perfect for your spring rock collection. Catch them live at O'Brien's in Allston on April 17 or May 24th.
Wednesday night Alen of Dale will play live in Studio Dee on WMFO's On The Town with Mikey Dee. Join us for a night of fun Americana/rock. The band has a new CD available for download on bandcamp. We always have a chat with the band post-performance, so stick around after they're done playing. You never know what will be discussed on On The Town. Come check it out on Wednesdays from nine to midnight.
I had literally 15 minutes to look, so here's what I got
– the logo isn't clickable. Usually logos are a passageway back to the homepage.
– what's going on the Audio page? given that it's a radio station, and you can "listen now" in the listen now area, i don't know what else will be offered under audio, but that was the first button I clicked cuz I wanted to know.
– the DJ portal idea rocks. can't wait to see that
– the archive and playlist is totally awesome. I'm so impressed with that. Not impressed with my typing tho. 🙂
go team go! thanks for all the work!

The Canterbury Tales: The Second Nun's Tale
by Geoffrey Chaucer
Character Analysis
The heroine of this story, Cecilia is already a Christian when we first meet her, since she's been raised that way since childhood. Now a pious adult, she is determined to remain "unwemmed," or unstained, throughout her life. Cecilia's desire to remain pure both spiritually and physically brings her in conflict not only with the pagan prefect Almachius, but also with the most important values and role-expectations of her society, which dictate that a noblewoman like Cecilia must marry and produce children. Cecilia resists these potential stumbling blocks with great rhetorical eloquence and determination, confirming herself to be "round and hool in good perseverynge" as the narrator claims her name suggests (117).
Because Cecilia is a virgin martyr, her character greatly resembles those of other such saints. Particularly when it comes to their spiritual lives, there is little that's unique about virgin martyrs – they're all cut from the same cloth. Like other virgin martyrs, Cecilia prays continually, always keeps Christ and his gospel in mind, and strives to keep her body undefiled by the touch of a man.
Unlike most of these martyrs, though, Cecilia is forced to marry. This situation makes Cecilia rebellious toward her own society and medieval society's expectations for women. Both societies expected women to marry and make babies. So, Cecilia becomes an important figure supporting women's freedom when it comes to the decision to marry or not. Cecilia might have been a particularly important saint for women who longed to live a religious life in order to rebel against their family's wishes for them – evidence suggests there were many such women in the medieval period.
Another way in which Cecilia stands out among virgin martyrs is that she seems to have a firm grasp of the ins and outs of Christian theology. Her explanation of the Trinity, for example, comparing its three persons in one god to the three powers of one mind, draws on the very complicated theology of a late Roman writer named Augustine. Augustine's works, like Confessions, City of God, and On the Trinity, explored concepts like how we know God exists, and who or what God actually is. (Yeah, heavy, we know!) To be familiar with the work of this late classical thinker, Cecilia has to be extremely well-educated. She draws upon this education in her debate with Almachius, too, critiquing not just the content of his faith, but the ins and outs of his rhetoric when she calls his argument "folily" begun (428).
In her education and outspokenness, Cecilia is a highly unconventional and unique role model for medieval women, who, for the most part, were supposed to remain silent before men and were forbidden to teach theology. Although it's debatable to what extent medieval women were actually expected to follow Cecilia's example, the existence among the saints of a woman like her, who uses her education to publicly criticize the Man – the guy in charge – could have inspired medieval women to speak publicly too.

Great place to stay in Capetown! Staff was just amaaazing, in a quiet corner yet close to the action, and a really cool social bar upstairs. The pool is probably a big bonus if the weather is warmer. Thanks for a really awesome week!

Definitely a party place on the weekends so it can be loud late but the bar area is great and there's a great outdoor area. If you want to be close to Long Street but not on it this is the place to be.

Obama Cites Jesus and the Right Loses Its Mind
It seems like all we ever hear from the Religious Right is how important it is for our political leaders to let their faith influence their public policy decisions. But apparently that only applies when it leads politicians to support the conservative political agenda because when President Obama cites Jesus, it seems to make the Right lose their minds.
Yesterday, during the National Prayer Breakfast, President Obama cited a passage from the Book of Luke to support his view that the well-off should be expected to contribute more:
And when I talk about shared responsibility, it's because I genuinely believe that in a time when many folks are struggling, at a time when we have enormous deficits, it's hard for me to ask seniors on a fixed income, or young people with student loans, or middle-class families who can barely pay the bills to shoulder the burden alone. And I think to myself, if I'm willing to give something up as somebody who's been extraordinarily blessed, and give up some of the tax breaks that I enjoy, I actually think that's going to make economic sense.
But for me as a Christian, it also coincides with Jesus's teaching that "for unto whom much is given, much shall be required."
And now right-wing leaders and Republicans are outraged, with Sen. Orrin Hatch lashing out about it on the Senate floor and Rep. Phil Gingrey walking out in protest while Ralph Reed, of all people, is saying that Obama went "over the line":
Ralph Reed of the Faith and Freedom Coalition said that for the president to tie his tax policy to Jesus's teachings "is theologically threadbare and straining credulity."
"I felt like it was over the line and not the best use of the forum," Reed said. "It showed insufficient level of respect for what the office of the president has historically brought to that moment."
And of course Bryan Fischer, who thinks the Bible ought to be the foundation for all our public policy, including putting animals to death, was incensed that Obama would dare to claim that the teachings of Christ support his agenda when, in fact, his agenda "is in the spirit of Joseph Stalin" and Karl Marx:
As we have said before, it is amazing President Obama even bothers to talk about his Christian faith because nothing he says will ever be acceptable for the "real" Christians in the Religious Right.

WoW Herbalism Leveling Guide 1 - 700
This Herbalism leveling guide will show you the fastest way how to level your Herbalism profession from 1 to 700.
Updated for Legion pre-patch 7.0.3
The guide includes routes for the best zones filled with herbs. Herbalism goes well with Alchemy, you can use the herbs you pick and make potions, but Herbalism is good with any other profession. If you want to level Alchemy, check out my Alchemy Leveling Guide. But keep in mind, this Herbalism guide is made to level your profession as fast as possible, so sometimes the herbs you will farm might not be the best for Alchemy.
If you are low on gold, I recommend you to try this Gold Making Guide, it can help you to make loads of gold.
If you are still leveling your character or you just started a new alt, I recommend you to use a leveling guide. You can level your character to level 100 in 8 days with this guide.
Guide Sections:
Apprentice 1 - 70
Journeyman 70 - 125
Expert 125 - 180
Artisan 180 - 275
Master 275 - 325
Grand Master 325 - 425
Illustrious 425 - 500
Zen 500 - 600
Warlords of Draenor 600 - 700
Herbalism Leveling Guide 1 - 70
Important! You can now pick herbs without a required skill. The amount of herb you'll get is determined by your skill level. But this means it's still recommended to level in zones where your skill level is close to the herb's hidden skill requirement. You will get much fewer herbs if you start picking the highest level herbs with herbalism skill 1. You can read more about this here.
First, visit any trainer in the main cities of old Azeroth - just ask a guard, and learn Apprentice Herbalism. It's recommended to get a [Herbalist's Spade]. Click on the link and you will find a list of vendors where you can buy this item.
Download the following addon: Gathermate2. This addon shows you every herb location on your map. The addon and the databse can be found here.
If you have the [Sky Golem] mount, you should use it while leveling herbalism because you can pick herbs without dismounting.
For the first 70 points, you can go to any starter zone, there is not much difference between them. You can also just skip to the next part in the guide if you have a higher level character.
You will gather the following herbs: [Peacebloom], [Silverleaf], [Earthroot]
70 - 125 Herbalism
You will gather the following herbs: [Mageroyal], [Briarthorn], [Bruiseweed]
Learn Herbalism Journeyman then head to Hillsbrad Foothills. It's a horde only zone, this means it might be a bit harder to reach it for alliance players, and for low level players I recommend Darkshore.
There is just so much herb in this zone. You can find Frozen Herbs at the top of Alterac Mountains, and they can contain Mageroyal, Briarthorn or Bruiseweed.
125 - 200 Herbalism
Visit your trainer and learn Herbalism Expert.
You will gather the following herbs: [Kingsblood], [Fadeleaf], [Khadgar's Whisker], [Goldthorn]
There is no Goldthorn at Western Plaguelands, go to Feralas if you want to farm it.
200 - 275 Herbalism
IMPORTANT! Don't forget to visit your trainer and learn Herbalism Artisan!
You will gather the following herb: [Sungrass]
You will need herbalism 230 to get full Sungrasses, so between 200-230 you will only get Sungrass Stalk.
In both of the zones below the most common herb will be [Sungrass]. I recommend Thousand Needles, because in Eastern Plaguelands, there are a lot of [Khadgar's Whisker] which will be green to you and grey for the last few points. I also like the easy layout of Thousand Needles, you just go in a straight line and you can't miss the herbs.
If you don't have a flying mount, then when you reach the end of the yellow line, you should turn back and run back to the starting point of the yellow line. You will also have to swim to Twilight Bulwark or Twilight Withering, else you can't really get to the place where the herbs are. (you can see these zones if you click on the map below)
275 - 325 Herbalism
Visit your trainer and learn Herbalism Master.
You will gather the following herbs:
Swamp of Sorrows: [Golden Sansam], [Sorrowmoss]
Felwood: [Gromsblood], [Purple Lotus], [Dreamfoil], [Golden Sansam]
The whole zone is filled with herbs. You can find them everywhere, there is no farming route for this map. If you don't need the herbs for herbalism, you can also stay in Swamp of Sorrows until you reach 350 and skip Outland. But if you go to Outland you will get more expensive herbs.
325 - 350 Herbalism
You will gather the following herbs: [Felweed], [Dreaming Glory], [Terocone]
The orange circles means that you should fly around that zone because the herbs are spread all over inside them.
350 - 400 Herbalism
Learn Herbalism Grand Master. In Howling Fjord, you will mostly find [Goldclover], but there will be some [Tiger Lily] near the rivers and lakes.
400 - 425 Herbalism
Sholazar Basin is filled with Herbs. The most common herb is [Adder's Tongue], but you can also find some [Goldclover] and [Tiger Lily]. If you don't really care about selling the Herbs, you should stay in Sholazar Basin until you reach 450. All it takes is just one full circuit in the zone, assuming no one else is farming there.
425 - 475 Herbalism
Visit your trainer and learn Herbalism Illustrious.
You will gather [Cinderbloom] at Mount Hyjal
475 - 500 Herbalism
Go to Deepholm and gather [Heartblossom].
500 - 545
You will gather [Green Tea Leaf] and [Rain Poppy].
Visit your trainer and learn the next rank of Herbalism.
I have two routes that I usually use, depending on how many players are farming in the zone. If you are the only one in the zone, then I recommend using the first route.
545 - 575
You will gather [Silkweed]. Just follow the route below and gather every herb until you reach 575.
575 - 600
You will gather [Snow Lily]. There are a few caves in the mountains, but I only recommend to go into the caves if you have some kind of sprint/stealth ability, or if someone else is farming in the zone.
600 - 700
You can learn the new rank of herbalism from [A Compendium of the Herbs of Draenor]. You can get this scroll by picking herbs at Draenor.
Frostfire Ridge
Shadowmoon Valley
I recommend Zygor's Leveling Guide. The guide is in an small window on your main screen in-game. All the detail that you need to complete the quest is included. You'll never have to switch back to a website, or even the in-game main map to see where you have to go or what's next. The guide is available for both Horde and Alliance.
I use Zygor's guide for leveling and I highly recommend it.

The act of getting too drunk and trying to tell people how drunk you by using the word either smashed or hammered. But seeing that your so drunk you can't talk, in the middle of your sentence you get real confused and the word "schmammered" slurringly comes out of your mouth.
Amanda put down her drink, looked me in the eyes, got real excited and said, "Schmaynard, I'm Schmammered."

Can you define these popular missing words?
The mix between shit faced and hammered.
schmammered to be extremely drunk or intoxicated.

Beyond hammered
You know when you're hammered and you see another person stumbling around...and you say to yourself "THAT guy's drunk!". That's Schmammered
Drunk enough to screw your European roommate. maybe even the Russian one too
Man i was so schmammered last night i fucked Egore. And Kevin too..
بواسطة after hours نوفمبر/تشرين الثّاني 7, 2004
The overall, intoxicated feeling obtained after consuming mass amounts of alcohol and marijuana. Consumption can be from waterbongs, joints, shotguns, beer-pong games, blunts, bowls, beer drinking games, and sack races (etc).
Last night there were so many smokes and brews headed around. I was too schmammered to remember what went on. I just remember it was awesome!

One can use a file (probably you knew about that).
As implemented, there is no direct IPC possible among user processes.
I was able to get rid of sendrec in Minix-1.5 but not after that. So,

would be interested in the answer to your query.

D7000 in manual question
When I am in manual and am taking stills I can use the front dial to change my f-stop. When I am in 'Live view' I can not change the f-stop with the front dial. It seems I have no control of f-stop in 'Live view'. I can change the shutter speed and ISO but not the f-stop setting.
The user manual gives no info on this.
What am I missing?
#1. "RE: D7000 in manual question" | In response to Reply # 0ricphoto Registered since 29th Aug 2006Sat 04-Dec-10 04:00 PM
You're not missing anything Jim...You can't control the F Stop on the G type lenses with the D7K on manual in Live view or movie mode. Wherever you were set re: the F Stop when you entered shooting mode is where you'll be.
for stills If the f-stop is the most important consideration then you can switch to Aperture priority and have control of it but at the cost of a wandering shutterspeed.
If you want full manual control you'll have to get some older full manual lenses...
The workaround I'm using is the Genustech fader ND filter...2-8 variable stops of ND at the twist of your wrist. This allows me to preset the shutter speed and F-stop to match the framerate and look I want then adjust the amount of light entering the camera to it.

Hepatic metastases of colorectal origin are resistant to radiation and immunotherapy. Traditional intravenous chemotherapy produces responses in 10% to 30% of patients, and surgical resection is feasible in approximately 20% of patients who have a solitary or unilobar lesion. Infusion of cytotoxic agents into the hepatic artery, introduced 2 decades ago, is the most promising form of therapy for unresectable hepatic metastases. Fluorouracil, floxuridine, and mitomycin have been most commonly administered by hepatic arterial infusion. The recent development of a totally implantable pump has allowed prolonged ambulatory infusion of chemotherapeutic agents into the hepatic artery. We review the recent data on the pharmacology, therapeutic outcome, administration techniques, and complications of hepatic arterial chemotherapy. Future trials in this area should use uniform stratification variables and standardized criteria for evaluating response, time to progression, and survival.

Roger defeats Del Potro
01.11.2013 | Tennis, Starseite 1
Roger took revenge after the loss in Basel last Sunday, defeating Juan Martin Del Potro 6-3, 4-6, 6-3 to reach the semi-finals in Paris-Bercy.
Roger showed an excellent match and took an early 3-1 lead, enough to eventually secure the opening set. Neither of the players managed a break all the way until the end of the second set, when Del Potro levelled in sets. The decider proved a true fight on the court. Roger took a 3-2 lead with a first break, his opponent did the same right afterwards - but another break by our champ gave him the necessary advantage to book his spot in the semis.
Roger will play Novak Djokovic in tomorrow's semi-final.
Early break Rogi!! Love it!
Early break for Rog in the second set! Just 5 more service holds to a magnificent win!
Sweet break!
Well Done Roger! Come on your playing FAB.XXX
I'm barely alive :-) almost fainted while deuce..
I'm barely alive :-) almost fainted while deuce..

Hope Roger does not have any lapses.
Hope Roger does not have any lapses.

Retired nurse on battlefield for Black lives
caines | 3/21/2013, 5:30 a.m.
Agnes R. Morton makes Overtown and its residents her new patientAgnes Rolle Morton, 75, is intimately familiar with the history of Overtown. After all, it was where she was born and raised, attended school [Dunbar Elementary and Booker T. Washington Senior High, class of 1955] and is now the community where she volunteers much of her time. She has traveled the world and lived in San Francisco for a number of years. And like Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz, when Morton talks about Overtown, its clear that theres no place like home. A retired registered nurse and health educator, Morton earned a B.S. in nursing from Florida Agricultural & Mechanical University [FAMU] and then joined the U.S. Army. In fact, it was the Army that helped her complete her college degree. I knew I wanted to be a nurse as far back as elementary school and remember the public health nurse, Miss Grace Higgs, who was one of my earliest role models, she said. But she was just one of many because in Overtown you had doctors, nurses, teachers all kinds of occupations represented and living right there in the same community. When I got to FAMU, my family struggled to pay tuition so I signed up for the Army in order to get financial help with school.
Seeing the world in the turbulent 60s
Morton is a wonderful storyteller and history buff, describing the world in which she entered after college with vivid detail. Some of her adventures illustrate just how far Blacks, women in particular, have come since the early days of the civil rights movement. I came back to Miami to study for my nursing boards and then entered the Army in December 1960, she said. A lot of the Black nurses who came from the South like me were stationed in the South, she said. I guess they figured we understood the southern way of life best since we had grown up here. I was assigned to Ft. Jackson in South Carolina. Was racism alive and well? Of course! Even though we were in the midst of the civil rights movement, we were still in the South. Racism was still the prevailing order. When I was sent to Korea for 13 months, I was the only Black nurse in my unit. Imagine the TV show M.A.S.H. and youll have an idea of what it was like.
On the battlefield for healthier Black lives
Morton continued her education, earning two masters degrees. She is now a doctoral candidate at the Western Institute for Social Research in Berkeley, California. She made San Francisco her home for 40 years, retiring from the San Francisco Department of Public Health in 1998 and being cited as a community pillar by the San Francisco Foundation in 1995. She would continue her work as a community health nurse, education and activist until she felt the calling to return home to Overtown. But Morton says she didnt return home to rest on her laurels. I was away from Miami but I read my Miami Times every week except when I was assigned overseas, she said. My father was a Bahamian carpenter who built his home in Overtown in 1917 with his own hands. He was devastated when the City took his home by eminent domain. The people of Overtown have lost their homes, suffer from poor health and often feel like theyve been abandoned. Our history is rich and needs to be shared and respected. Historian Marvin Dunn predicts that in 10 years Overtown will be primarily white and Hispanic in 20 years he says it will be hard to find a Black face at all. Thats why I am so passionate about working on behalf of those Blacks trying to hold on in Overtown. People like Georgiana Johnson Bethel [one of the last living teachers from BTW], Miss Willie Pearl Porter [a RN that was a mentor and is now 101], Lena Collier and Mizie Hanna [two other RNs that were role mentors] were committed to improving the lives of children and families in Overtown. Im on that same mission. By D. Kevin email@example.com
