I found some of my dad's old zine collection a couple of years ago. Today I was writing about it for my next issue and I was wondering if anyone knew if Mark P (Sniffin' Glue) is still alive or not.…Continue

I've been looking around online but all the typewriters I've seen have been far outside the price range of your average zine writer. And before someone suggests it: I'm a frequent browser of charity…Continue

I love zines. I need to get quicker at Brailling. The obvious solution? Transcribe zines! Does anyone know of any zines already written in Braille? My own zines have always been cut and paste, not…Continue

I write xyz, a zine about genderqueerity that comes out (hah!) every other month. It's article based, so I've had a lot of people ask me if it's a compzine, but nope. I just don't have the attention span to write twenty pages on the same subject.
Issue 1, Nov/Dec 2010 A few articles on etymology, one on hormones, some pretty pictures and some history. 24 pages inc cover. <- This can be found at marching stars distro, woot!
Issue 2, Jan/Feb 2011 Babies and kids! How children relate to gender, raising a gender-variant child, and gender in children's media. 24 pages inc cover.
Issue 3, Mar/Apr 2011 The place of femme in society. How it gets maligned, what make up is for, a long article on the colour pink, various other bits. 28 pages inc cover.
Issue 4, May/June 2011 A splitzine with Chloe Bunny. My half is about queer bodies and bodily autonomy. 48 pages inc cover.
Issue 5, July/August 2011 Community and conversations: interviews with people who identify as queer about what gender means to them in queer spaces. 28 pages inc cover.
Hunkerdown is "a reaction to how the mainstream media play poverty against ethics when it's perfectly possible to have both", which is my wankiest way of saying it's about eating blackberries and hating rich people.
I've also written a one-off perzine called I FOUGHT IN A WAR. It's text-only and it's about growing up queer in a military family and going to military school. 32 pages.
I ♥ trades. Unfortunately I can only afford to trade within Europe. Shipping UK to US/Canada is a lot more expensive than the other way round. I am hella into zine accessibility, so if you want any of my zines in LP/braille/on coloured paper, drop me a note. email@example.com

That's quite a long post title, isn't it? Oh well. Here's the skinny:
I'm making a comp zine about the misconceptions people have faced with regards to their disabilities.
Are you going to take a shotgun to the next person who tells you it's all in your head?
Do media representations of your disability make you grit your teeth?

Francis Scott Key Fitzgerald (1896-1940) was an Irish American Jazz Age novelist and short story writer. He is regarded as one of the greatest American writers of the twentieth century. He was the self-styled spokesman of the "Lost Generation" - Americans born in the 1890's who came of age during World War I. He finished four novels, left a fifth unfinished, and wrote dozens of short stories. The 1920's proved the most influential decade of Fitzgerald's development. His debut novel, This Side of Paradise (1920) examines the lives and morality of post-World War I youth. Flappers and Philosophers (1920) was his first collection of short stories. His second novel, The Beautiful and Damned (1922), demonstrates an evolution and maturity in his writing, and provides an excellent portrait of America during the Jazz Age, as does Tales of the Jazz Age (1922). The Great Gatsby, which many consider his masterpiece, was published in 1925. It has since been adapted for the theatre and filmed several times. His last novel was Tender is the Night (1934).

Keke Palmer, 18, sings loud and proud in her new movie Joyful Noise, in theaters January 13. The actress plays Olivia Hill, a talented teen whose small-town church choir is gearing up for the National Joyful Noise Competition. Tough times have fallen on the town, and a win is just what they need to lift their spirits.
There's just one problem: Olivia's mom, Vi Rose Hill (played by Queen Latifah), who is the new choir director, and the church's most generous donor, G.G. Sparrow (played by Dolly Parton), want to take the group in different musical directions. Vi Rose wants the choir to stay true to it traditional roots. But G.G. thinks a more contemporary sound is the key to their success. The rivalry threatens to tear the entire choir apart. Will the group find harmony before their competition dreams are dashed?
TFK spoke to Keke Palmer about her melodic new role and about what's to come for the True Jackson, VP, star in 2012.
What kind of role does Olivia have in the film?
She has a few different roles. There's the situation going on between her and her mother. Olivia is growing up, she's ready to be her own person, and she's ready to do her own thing. But her mother has always been [overprotective]. It's hard for them. Then Olivia meets G.G's grandson, and through that relationship she finds out who she is, and of course, falls in love.
How would you describe Olivia's personality?
She's quiet, but also cool. She's passionate about music. Music is what gets her going. She feels most comfortable when she's singing. But overall, she's your normal teenager. She's very sheltered, and she's tired of it.
Queen Latifah plays your mom in the movie. In your very first movie, Barbershop 2, she played your aunt. What was it like to reunite with her on the big screen?
It was amazing! I had the best time. Since I'm older now, we could talk about more. She was telling me about all the things she's done and how she was able to turn her rapping career into an acting career and a producing career. It was really awesome to have that conversation with someone as great as she is.
There's another big music legend in the movie: Dolly Parton. How was it working with her?
No one understands what I mean when I say this, but she is just the sweetest woman you will ever meet. I mean that. If you ever meet her, you'll be like, "Wow, Keke wasn't kidding!" She greets you with open arms. She's so kind and very loving.
Your new album comes out next year. What can fans expect?
They can expect an album that covers a lot of different things that they can relate to. I've been so impatient for it to come out!
You're a co-producer on the upcoming Nickelodeon movie musical, Rags. What will the movie be about, and what made you want to try your hand at producing?
Nick Cannon approached me and said it would be awesome if I could come on to bring a youth element to the production. I'm starring in it too, but I'm also excited to get my foot in the door to produce. It was a great learning experience. I learned a lot of things about myself and about being a producer.
Was it challenging to act in the film and then put on the producer's hat?
It was difficult. I'm used to being just an actor. As an actor, you don't want to step on anyone's toes. A lot of the times, I would forget that I was a producer and that I could speak up.
You also have a voice role in the fourth Ice Age movie, Continental Drift. Can you tell us about it?
I play Peaches. She's the daughter of Queen Latifah and Ray Romano's characters, Ellie and Manny. They had Peaches in the last Ice Age movie, and now she's a teenager. She's tired of her dad always being on her back and being overprotective. Peaches is such an outgoing young girl. She has a ready-for-the-world type of attitude. That scares her dad, because he doesn't want her to get hurt.
On top of everything else, you've also teamed up with Save Our Daughters to end bullying. You've been very open about your experience being bullied when you were younger. What do you hope to accomplish with this campaign?
I just want to spread the word and give those young kids out there who are being bullied someone they can identify with. I want to let them know that there's someone who understands and that there are ways to get through it.

A person who is married and is cheating on their spouse by having sex with other people, with or without the spouse's consent. This term is used most often to describe bisexual women who are married to men and having sex with other women. It was first coined by Anti_Christ on April 28th, 2005 on the W4W forum on Craigslist and it is still in constant use today.
I'm hot and fun and looking to hook up with a woman tonight because my husband is out of town and I am a cheater whore.

"Very good! The flavor of the soy sauce mixture did not over-power the broccoli."
Reviewed Apr. 7, 2011
"This was a tasty side dish! I used toasted sesame oil in place of olive oil for a little extra nutty sesame flavor. I found the suggested 10-15 minutes of steaming time for the broccoli to be a tad too long, and would suggest checking it sooner if you like a bit of a bite to your broccoli."

President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad declared victory in Iran's parliamentary elections insisting the people had expressed suppoort for his anti-Bush policies of confrontation. Although conservatives easily won a majority considering reformers were only allowed to put up candidates in one-third of the districts, Ahmadinejad now confronts large numbers of conservatives who dislike his style of governance and his handling of the nation's economy. Of the 290 seats in parliament, 130 went to conservatives, but only 70 of them are die hard supporters of Ahmadinejad, the rest are conservatives who dislike his economic policies and his failure to get the economy moving. About 39 independents were elected, 31 reformers, and five seats were assigned to minority groups like Jews, Zoroastrian and Christians. Reformers claim at least 14 Independents will support reform ideas.
The number of voting did increase from 51% to 60%, but reform followers are unable to vote for someone who represents their views in many districts. One lesson of the Iran election is the ability of Ahmadinejad to use anti-iran statements by Bush as a weapon to gain votes. Hopefully, a new president will be able to lower the rhetoric and work to build connections to Iranian religious leaders who wield the real power.

This is by far the best pumpkin seed oil around. Flora uses dark varieties of heirloom seeds in their oil which is a must have for any healing. As the dark varieties are very anti-parasitic among other many benefits. I love how this taste on a salad so mouth watering. And as always pureformulas has super fresh - recent pressed selection in stock. Cant beat the price either. Dont miss out on this one. My favorite in taste next to primo olive oil.

Best Collection FontFonts for logo, branding and corporate identity
We are confronted by logos and branding on a daily basis and yet some of the most memorable logos are composed of just a typeface. But how do you choose the right typeface to fit the face of your brand? Making sure the face is recognizable, useable and at the same time interchangeable, is by no means an easy task. In the fourth installment of our Collection Tier Blog series, we bring together our top three tips and a selection of FontFonts from our Collection Tier that are suitable for logo, branding and corporate identity projects.
Frank Sinatra School of Art, design by Pentagram
Memorability: Your logotype and your corporate typefaces don't have to be the same – but they should harmonize, visually. Make your logo unique. Many logos use no type at all, but every logo will be paired with text. Your branding and CI faces can be individual, too, but their primary function is to be recognizable and readable. Choose selections that differentiate your brand from competitors, while still appearing clear and 'corporate'. Although many companies rely on modern or humanist sans serif typefaces for their identities, your brand's face could be a serif.
Usability: Does your typeface family have enough weights and widths to support a strong typographic hierarchy? Consider how much differentiation is necessary between the elements in your documents, both for internal corporate communications and external advertising. A superfamily, with sans and serif variants, may be an apt choice. Families with optical sizes for text and display help, too – a logo and the text around it should function well in virtually every size and resolution.
Interchangeability: Corporate fonts are rarely used in isolation. Depending on a company's communication strategy, your faces are likely to be seen together with other types, too. How well does your selection play with others? If your corporate fonts have to degrade to standard fonts in certain settings – like online or in office memos – can your design cope with this substitution? Which typographic extras typically appear in your corporate documents (e.g., small caps, tabular figures and fractions)? Consider the fonts' default glyphs, as your fonts may also be used in office applications that don't easily support OpenType features.
Did you miss out on our previous Collection Tier posts? Have a look at our tips and picks for Music and Nightlife, Sports and Book Text. Next up in our series, our Collection Tier selection suitable for Advertising and Packaging.
About our Collection Tier
Our Collection Tier FontFonts are a selection of cost effective typographical treasures offered as full-families. All packages are available in OpenType with Standard language support (with a few key exceptions) and are all affordably priced under €/$ 100 each.

How dare Klaus??? At the end of the show he calls poor Caroline and tells her that he wants to be with her and maybe one day she would want that too. Wtf you got Halie pregnant then calls Caroline. Part of me wishes that that isn't his baby. Knowing halie this is all apart of some set up that she will end up regreting at the last second then it will be too late. Klaus needs to tell Caroline about the baby even though she won't love him and will he hurt she still needs to know.

Traffic Signals and Street Lights
Bellevue's Transportation department is replacing incandescent light bulbs in traffic signals and street lights with new light-emitting diodes (LED's) around the city.
The savings to the city in costs, energy and carbon dioxide emissions are some of the most impressive of any energy efficiency projects to date. Signal upgrades alone posted savings of nearly $200,000 in annual energy costs and 950 metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent in 2010 when compared to 2000.
Savings are expected to increase further as Transportation works to change out more traffic signal and stree light bulbs.

Stolen items found in Kingsport
KINGSPORT, Tenn. - Kingsport police arrested a man who they believe is responsible for a rash of car burglaries in different communities.
Officers arrested Jason Glenn after they say a homeowner caught him in the act burglarizing his truck.
Police rushed to the scene and caught Glenn, but say his accomplice got away.
Officers tell us they found all sorts of stolen items on Glenn and linked him to at least eight car burglaries in the Lynn Garden and Bloomingdale areas over the 14th and 15th of November.
Some of the stolen items haven't yet been claimed. "That's one of the things we're hoping by getting this out, that people will say, 'Hey, I'm missing something from my car,' or 'I think somebody was in my car last night'. They can report it and let us know what's missing and we may have your property down here," says Tom Patton with the Kingsport Police Department.
Detectives are asking for anyone who had belongings stolen -- particularly from their car during that time period and in those communities -- to contact them.
You'll need to be able to give a detailed description of your items.

Yes, the military can and should target American al Qaeda members
Before I explain, let's remember that — legally — we are in a state of armed conflict against al-Qaeda, pursuant to the post-9/11 Authorization for Use of Military Force. We are not engaged in a law-enforcement operation. In other words, attacking a member of al-Qaeda is more like attacking a member of the Viet Cong in the aftermath of the Tet Offensive than it is like attacking American member of a Columbian drug cartel. An American who's drug-running in South America is entitled to all the individualized due process of any citizen and certainly cannot be summarily killed by drone strike. An American member of al-Qaeda is, by contrast, is in a state of open and declared warfare against the United States, a state of war acknowledged by both parties to the conflict. …
In the current war, we go to great lengths to avoid targeting the wrong individual (when I was in Iraq, our targeting decisions were typically based on multiple, overlapping pieces of intelligence). Killing the enemy while sparing civilians is sound counterinsurgency, and it is sound morally. But when civilians do die, the responsibility for their deaths lies with the enemy that unlawfully used them as human shields.
If all this sounds harsh, or "chilling," or scary, that's because it is. War is hell. And there is no constitutional doctrine that exempts American citizens from that hell when they choose to wage war against their own country. Any other legal doctrine will create yet another perverse terrorist incentive: Can an American terrorist now be a unique human shield to prevent direct attack?

Reviews of this property
This apartment was perfect for a few days in Krakow. It is well-connected to the main square, the train station, etc. by tram, and is within walking distance of just about anywhere you would want to go in Krakow (so long as you are okay walking 30 minutes or so). The apartment itself was bright and comfortable, with all the amenities you could need. I appreciated the free wifi, as well as the multiple electric heaters provided to chase out the September chill. I would definitely stay here again!
Reviews for this host's other properties
Definitely the best choice!
The apartment was immaculate when we arrived. It is very beautiful and new, and has everything we need. It is five minutes from the Market Square and close to good cafes and restaurants. We also had a supermarket next door which made our stay very easy. We could not meet Natazsa but his son Jacek was a great host, who offered his help to solve any doubts. In short, it was a great experience that we will repeat if we return to Krakow!
Beautiful appartment nearbij the old city. We like the sepperat bathrooms ,in the morning we have enjoyed our breakfest into the sun on the balkony.
IT was a walk of 10 minuten to the jewesh area where we have a great time in the evenings. Many restaurants and cafés.You get no regrets for booking the appartment.We are telling it further to all our friends. Krakau is beautifull.
6 adults stayed in this lovely apartment, it was very clean and had everything that we needed.
The beds were very comfortable, & there are actually 2 bathroom not 1 as stated. 9 people would be a bit of a squeeze but 7 would be perfect.
An ideal location to both the Jewish quarters & the main square, plenty of restaurants nearby.
A bit noisy due to being on a main road, but if the windows are closed it is not a problem
Very cheap to eat in the area so no need to take loads of money.
I would highly recommend staying here, & wouldn't hesitate to go back.
We were really satisfied with the quality and the clearness of the apartment,which was absolutely not far from the centre of the city. In the apartment were lots of maps,information so it was good to help us navigate in the city.We can absolutely recommend for everybody.

Very centrally located, on a busy street, close to Rynek, the center of life in Krakow. All interesting starting points in the city are within walking distance. The contact and the keys were top.
We would book again!

A little while back, over at The Focused Filmographer, our buddy T shared a series of great sketch posters for the IMAX release of "The Hobbit" in his weekly series "New Posters of the Week". I was really impressed by them… thought they were very cool.
Then, this weekend, watching the special features for "Back to the Future", they were discussing how fortunate they were to have gotten the movie poster that they did… how the image of Marty looking at his watch while stepping out of (or into) the Delorean became as iconic as the film itself.
I think we've all owned a movie poster or two in our day, I know I have a handful up, myself. They've become a huge part of the film industry… there are even posters of older movies being made now as art! Mondo posters, minimalist posters, posters for limited re-releases… you've seen the ones.
So which are you favorites? What's YOUR favorite movie poster? Do you or have you owned any? I realize that commenters can't post images, but, time willing, I'll help out for those who want to leave a link to the poster they're referring to, and I'll save it as a file and upload it so we don't have to hotlink. Let's keep the quantities reasonable, though, shall we? 😉
Let's hear it people! What are Your Favorite Movie Posters?!

"Everyone is a critic."
Critics are ubiquitous but are rarely 24-carat credible.
These days, it seems the entire population of the world has "googled" enough things to generate a malaise of cocksure opinions on a number of subjects. If opinions are in fact like something that rhymes with flagpoles, then there is a lot of tainted information flying around this mean old world, because according to the adage, "everyone's got one."
Yet, there are those who are actually paid to be critical. They have a background that would warrant their written opinions about said subjects and those opinions are often "ounced-over" on the printed page; as the format for most reviews has been dumbed down to a simple "star system" that we are trained like Pavlov's dogs to look and listen for.
"Oooo, three and a half stars for the new restaurant in midtown. Count me in. Wait, what kind of food is it again?"
So many things are based on the star system that it is now necessary to have knowledge on why something might be superior to the competition, as long as you know how many stars it has earned.
Think of it like this (and think of it like an SAT question): a wealthy gentleman looks at a wine list in a restaurant, and orders the most expensive bottle on the list, because he assumes it's the best. Meanwhile, at the next table over, a couple orders a bottle of mid-level priced wine after thorough inspection of the list and a short Q-and-A-type banter with their server.
At first glance who would you presume has A. More knowledge of wine and B. purchased the better bottle?
Aye, there's the rub.
Wine is not priced like music, so therefore, the more expensive the wine, one would have to assume that it is of increased quality at the varying level in price. To dumb-down the analogy, you will not find a bottle of Cakebread in the discount racks of wine retailers, but it is very, very possible that you will find a copy of "Pet Sounds" and "Revolver" in the discount rack of your record store.
So in this case, it would be quite easy for the wealthy gent ordering the most expensive bottle to appear to be knowledgeable and perhaps more cultured, when in reality, he doesn't have class, he can just afford the façade of it.
There is a difference.
Though many people envy a critic's job because it may be glamorous or full or perks, most critics will tell you that it is often a daunting task that is equally saturated in facades.
I know, because I was one for several years.
Now I didn't go to school to be a critic, I went for journalism, which by nature (at least back then) teaches you to be objective, and as middle of the road as possible. I find it interesting, however, that a simple journalism degree and an ability to write in complete sentences, and not knowledge of subject matter, can get one thrust into the position of, let's say, a movie critic, when the week prior they were writing the "obits."
We've all seen hundreds of movies, but could we write a competent movie review?
For me, the thankless part of the gig was the façade that we had to put up. The pay was so bad at the beginning, that we would be getting a free five-star meal, but would be scrapping to get enough money for tip and parking in the city. I don't care how confident you are, when you are scrapping through the cup holders to pay to park your car, you feel a bit like a fraud. I used to be so scared everyone from the chef to the customers would see right through my un-tailored suit and know that I had hot dogs for lunch.
So, I did like so many do … I faked it till I made it. After a few reviews and word started to spread that I knew what I was talking about, confidence started to be overcome with a bit of arrogance (which is inevitable if enough hostesses seat you at the best tables and chefs send you out special items hoping you write nice things about them).
Then one day, you find yourself saying something like "will you look at the presentation on this cheese tray" and you realize that you have become something that also rhymes with flagpole.
My wife and I were co-critics, which meant that we would review art galleries, restaurants, bars, concerts, etc. together. Obviously, one reviewer cannot eat all the food to do a restaurant any justice in a printed review in one sitting, so our early courtship dinner dates, were paid reviews. I always loved the way her eyes would twinkle while she was thoroughly questioning the meaning of the chef's menu choices.
As a result, years after we have turned in our proverbial red pens, our table banter is continually and unconsciously critical. Even the way we order is like we are writing a review. It can be maddening. So, perhaps we are doomed to not ever truly enjoy a meal, because we are trained to be overly critical even when we don't have to be.
Perhaps ignorance is bliss.
Here on Delmarva, there are no reviews of this nature, and no critics either. The so-called "reviews" that you do see in the glossy monthly mags and weekly rags are done for those who are paid advertisers so the star system doesn't even fit in this market.
The area has made it that way, and if the area proprietors would rather pay for their publicity rather than earning their restaurant's notoriety based on product quality, you can't blame the printed publications for playing the game. No one in their right mind that owns a business passes up a signed check, even journalistic integrity is cast aside in that situation.
Perhaps for this region, rather than a star system, it should be based on the dollar sign system, and not as in price points on the menu, but rather a rating system based on how much money they spend on advertising.
Since they won't allow unbiased reviews in this town, at least they could be honest and up front with the customer on how they are being graded.
Not to be overly critical.

text: Ok, here is the scenario...I am a first year beek and having way too many issues for a first year keeper. I ordered my hive and bees and didn't get them going until late May (late start...first problem). They started off great, had 2 deeps pulled out and full of brood and pollen within a month or so. Put a super on and they had it full in no time flat, which I pulled off after it was capped in mid July. Put another super on and they never finished pulling that one out so I didn't mess with that one as I figured we were in a dearth and that would be normal. Then I noticed 2 SHB and I started paying real close attention to that problem, I still find a couple on occasion but not very many at all (not paying attention to other things...second problem). They never did fill the second super and they started moving the nectar down into the second deep all by themselves...I didn't have to manipulate them at all. But...a few days ago I noticed some problems with 2 of the bees wings looking like they were chewed or damaged in some way. I went this morning and put a piece of cardboard under the screened bottom board and then dusted the top of the frames with powdered sugar and really ticked the bees off, and guess what I found (other than a few stingers in my neck and back)...you got it...hundreds of varroa on the cardboard after only about 15 minutes (late discovery...third problem). Here is my next problem...I don't want to use chemical treatments if I don't have to. I am pretty sure it is too late in the year to use chemicals anyway. My question now is what about using a bellows type duster to apply powdered sugar? How affective will this be if used once a week or so for a month and can I use it through out the year? I would like to save the bees and I know we have a little longer here of 'warmer' temps (N. GA) to raise a few more 'wintering bees'. Any thoughts or suggestions will be appreciated but remember I would prefer to keep them as chemical free as possible. Thanks in advance.

BERKELEY -- It's hard to say what frustrates Ryan Kerian more -- the city that doesn't enforce its laws or the scofflaw who ignores them.
Kerian and other members of the Sacramento Street Improvement Association have been trying for almost a year to get the city to oust unlicensed medical marijuana distributor Perfect Plants Patients Group, known as 3PG, from 2840 B Sacramento St. "Since 2011, we've gotten the runaround from the city," Kerian said.
SSIA members decided to take measures into their own hands. On Oct 18, Kerian, writing on behalf of the association, warned Lain Rui Tan, 3PG's landlord, that if he didn't oust the distributor, they would take him to small claims court, each filing separate claims for up to $10,000.
"An illegal establishment operating as Perfect Plants Patients Group, which does not possess a business license, is illegally distributing and dispensing marijuana at your property," Kerian wrote: "If, after 30 days, you have not initiated eviction proceedings against 3PG or otherwise caused this illegal drug operation to cease, it is our intention to initiate proceedings against you in the Superior Court of California ..."
City spokeswoman Mary Kay Clunies-Ross defended the city, saying it had taken appropriate steps. "They were cited and noticed," she said, adding that the matter "went to the (Zoning Adjustment Board) and it's coming to council. We have a process that the law requires."
A Dec. 8, 2011 letter from city code enforcement to the property owner calls 3PG an "illegal dispensary" and says it "must therefore cease and desist." A similar letter went to 3PG operator Eric Thomas.
But Kerian said that to date, "these are just words" without action.
The zoning board held hearings on the shop Sept. 27 and voted to recommend shutting the operation down. The final decision is up to the City Council; the matter is tentatively scheduled for Nov. 13.
The zoning board agreed with Kerian that 3PG is violating city codes. As a medical marijuana collective 3PG is allowed to operate only in a residential area, but is operating on a commercial strip, where only licensed dispensaries are permitted. The city can issue four dispensary licenses and has issued three -- 3PG has no license.
ZAB also affirmed that 3PG is less than the mandatory 600 feet from a school.
In addition to code violations, ZAB considered testimony at its Sept. 27 hearing by those who said 3PG staff is involved in street-level marijuana sales and has contributed to an upswing in prostitution, young people smoking cannabis and gun violence in the neighborhood.
Speaking at the hearing, 3PG supporters denied its involvement in illegal drug sales and testified that, because licensed security personnel guard their doors, problematic behavior at the long-troubled corner of Sacramento and Oregon streets is diminished.
Further, 3PG operator Eric Thomas said he personally measured the distance between Longfellow School and his business and found it was 603 feet — three feet more than the mandatory 600 feet.
Addressing the claim that the business should not be operating in a commercial zone, Thomas argued that 3PG could become eligible for a license under new regulations the city's Medical Marijuana Commission is drafting.
But Kerian said 3PG is clearly violating the law as currently written and if the city continues to allow the operation, he and the association will follow through by filing claims against the property owner.

Analyst tips $64.1 million net profit in 2014 year as presentation to Asian investors claims five-year return of 25.7 per cent.
New Zealand's biggest listed diversified real estate business told the Asian investment community this week it was one of the world's top performers in its sector.
Chris Gudgeon, Kiwi Income Property Trust chief executive, was in Singapore yesterday telling how Kiwi's total five-year return was 25.7 per cent - higher than the overall returns generated from real estate businesses in New Zealand and below only those in Canada and the United States.
"The New Zealand listed property sector has generally outperformed the global real estate investment trust markets due to its tractional, conservative approach to real estate investment. The trust has delivered a total return since inception in 1993 of 9.9 per cent," the presentation said.
Kiwi posted a copy of a presentation for an institutional investor roadshow on the NZX yesterday and Gudgeon will speak in Tokyo tomorrow.
Institutional investment chiefs in Auckland said yesterday it was not unusual for Kiwi to make such presentations.
Craig Brown, OnePath senior investment analyst, said Kiwi had a number of overseas investors including those based in Asia. Kiwi executives also often attended a Citibank global property conference in the United States with its Australian counterparts, ASX-listed Commonwealth Property Office Fund and CFS Retail Property Trust Group around this time of the year, he said.
Craig Tyson, OnePath equity investment manager, called for Kiwi to change its focus from commercial to retail.
"We would prefer to see Kiwi as a vehicle focused on the retail sector," Tyson said.
"They have very good retail assets, complemented by the well-timed purchase of LynnMall, whereas we don't believe that they have a particular competitive advantage in office," he said.
"If they could invest in well located shopping malls/centres with redevelopment potential in key NZ markets and partly fund the acquisition of these assets with the sale of office assets, then we believe that they could add significant value for unitholders over the medium to long term."
Kiwi derives 68 per cent of its gross income from retail and just 32 per cent from office and owns New Zealand's largest enclosed shopping mall, the $500.5 million Sylvia Park at Mt Wellington.
It is spending $47 million redeveloping Centre Place in Hamilton and will this year complete a project on the site bringing in a 7000sq m Farmers department store as well as a new Hoyts Cinema complex, due to open in October on a 15-year lease.
The $188 million LynnMall at New Lynn will be expanded and Kiwi's presentation told how it was a "strategic acquisition" representing good buying at a cyclical low in 2010.
The presentation also emphasised the corporate strength of Kiwi's property manager, which is owned by Colonial First State Global Asset Management, which has $96.5 billion funds under management here and in Australia, $34.2 billion in Europe, $19.9 billion in Asia and $1.6 billion in North America.
Forsyth Barr analyst Jeremy Simpson is projecting Kiwi will make $64.1 million net profit after tax in the 2014 year, rising to $68.5 million in 2015 and that the business is "low-risk exposure".
Five-year returns to December 31, 2012
* Canada - 49.1 per cent
* USA - 28.7 per cent
* Kiwi Income Property Trust - 25.7 per cent
* New Zealand - 22.8 per cent
* Singapore - 1 per cent
* Japan - 15.6 per cent
* United Kingdom - 25 per cent
* Australia - 37.7 per cent

This part is well known as the most beautiful and peaceful residential district of central Prague with a great choice of restaurants, bars and shops in the vicinity. It is away from
the crowds of tourists, but close to all the important city sights by foot, also by public transport. A tramway, bus and subway stops are nearby.
Houses in the district of Vinohrady were built as residences between 1900 - 1940, including our house which was built by our family in 1936. After the communists usurped power in 1948, the house became the property of the state until the "Velvet Revolution" in 1989. Shortly after this time, a general reconstruction of the building began and the apartment for tourists were established.
This modern apartment is now furnished in a charming wood motif, and includes a bathroom and WC, a kitchenette with basic cooking utensils provided, together with a refrigerator, cooker, microwave, kettle, coffee maker, pots and pan, bottles and cans openers, tee, koffee, sugar, spice...

Breaking: Gregg withdraws at Commerce; Update: White House gobsmacked?
posted at 4:22 pm on February 12, 2009 by Ed Morrissey
According to a breaking news alert from MSNBC, Judd Gregg has withdrawn from his nomination as Commerce Secretary. If so, this makes the third Cabinet appointment from Barack Obama to fail, and the second one at Commerce. Tom Daschle withdrew at HHS over his tax evasion, and Bill Richardson preceded Gregg as Commerce Secretary-designate before withdrawing over a pay-for-play corruption scandal in New Mexico.
Gregg took a bit of heat from fellow Republicans for resigning from the Senate during a point when conservatives needed every ally they can find. What touched off Gregg's withdrawal? He couldn't support the stimulus:
"I want to thank the President for nominating me to serve in his Cabinet as Secretary of Commerce. This was a great honor, and I had felt that I could bring some views and ideas that would assist him in governing during this difficult time. I especially admire his willingness to reach across the aisle.
"However, it has become apparent during this process that this will not work for me as I have found that on issues such as the stimulus package and the Census there are irresolvable conflicts for me. Prior to accepting this post, we had discussed these and other potential differences, but unfortunately we did not adequately focus on these concerns. We are functioning from a different set of views on many critical items of policy.
"Obviously the President requires a team that is fully supportive of all his initiatives.
"I greatly admire President Obama and know our country will benefit from his leadership, but at this time I must withdraw my name from consideration for this position.
"As we move forward, I expect there will be many issues and initiatives where I can and will work to assure the success of the President's proposals. This will certainly be a goal of mine.
"Kathy and I also want to specifically thank Governor Lynch and Bonnie Newman for their friendship and assistance during this period. In addition we wish to thank all the people, especially in New Hampshire, who have been so kind and generous in their supportive comments.
"As a further matter of clarification, nothing about the vetting process played any role in this decision. I will continue to represent the people of New Hampshire in the United States Senate."
Wow. This is an embarrassment for Obama, and might imperil the stimulus package, if Gregg has any influence over the waverers. The decision to strip him of authority over the census looks like the last straw, however — as it should have been.
Update: Barack Obama will take another big hit to his transition, but the man who really deserves the obloquy this time is Rahm Emanuel. The census ploy was a transparent attempt to hijack the data for political purposes, and pulling that stunt after Gregg's appointment made Gregg look like a political eunuch. It was classic overreach, and it's classic Emanuel.
Now he's embarrassed himself, made his boss look impotent, and managed at the same time to damage Obama's most critical piece of domestic policy legislation. If Gregg hits the media circuit to criticize Porkulus, his credibility as an Obama appointee will create a lot of heat on other Republicans and even a few Democrats to stop the runaway train of this bill and force it back into debate.
Update II: Gregg never resigned as Senator; that usually happens after confirmation. He is still and will continue to be the senior Senator from New Hampshire.
Update III: One of the commenters makes a good point. Democratic governor John Lynch had to agree to appoint a Republican to the seat and take some political heat for it — and now it's all for nothing. I'm sure he's happy with Rahm Emanuel and Barack Obama today, too.
Update IV: According to the AP, no one in the Obama administration saw this coming:
The withdrawal appeared to take the White House by surprise, with members of the president's media operation learning of Gregg's decision from reporters. An administration official said Gregg dropped out without warning for a position that he had expressed interest in just a few weeks ago.
They heard about it from reporters? Wow again. Gregg apparently got so incensed that he didn't bother to apprise them, or the people he did tell didn't get the word to the media-relations folks. What a breakdown, and an embarrassment as well.

Simple observation and common sense bears this out. For example, African drones main flying time frame window differs from some other species. This does not prevent beekeepers in areas with Africanised bees struggling to keep their bees pure, interbreeding is a fact.
Dr. Delaneys video showed the different mitochondrial DNA between the two groups of bees. But mitochondrial DNA remains unchanged for countless generations even though nucleic DNA can have changed much. In answer to the question as to whether Dr. Delaney was saying the colonies were pure, she didn't, but I think she attempted to imply that. Which I found sad, coming from a respected expert. Subsequent conversation on Beesource has born out that was the way most people interpreted what she said. Simply wrong unfortunately.
The correct interpretation, is that over a long enough period of time the two populations will merge, assuming the kept bees are not moved or requeened too much. Although in practise, they probably will be. But the mitochondrial DNA, representing the matriarchal line, will remain different, depending on who the original mothers were of the stock. But mitochondrial DNA has little effect on the make up of the bee.
On a different tack, David that is an excellent article, I'm impressed!

Reviews of this property
We had a superb stay at Jim, the apartment is very well located, and with Jim is delicious, it made us feel very welcome and is always ready to help or advise. Ideal for exploring Edinburgh!
Nous avons passé un superbe séjour chez Jim, l'appartement est très bien situé, et la compagnie de Jim est délicieuse, il nous a très bien accueilli et est toujours prêt à aider ou conseiller. Idéal pour découvrir Edimbourg !
Friendly and unobtrusive host. Housing very well located and perfectly suitable for affordable vacation.
Hôte sympathique et discret. Logement très bien situé et convenant parfaitement pour des vacances à prix abordable.
Jim is nice though someone strong housing it offers is not at all welcoming, flagrant lack of cleanliness, the most basic facilities, very noisy room overlooking paved urban road where tenfold sound resonance. Too bad because a good location.
Jim est quelqu'un de fort sympathique cependant le logement qu'il propose n'est pas du tout accueillant, manque flagrant de propreté, équipements des plus sommaires, chambre tres bruyante donnant sur voie urbaine pavée d'où une résonance sonore décuplée. Dommage car très bien situé.
We stayed 5 days, the truth is that Jim is a very kind person and I feel bad, but the truth is I would not recommend the room. we expected anything much noise at night passing cars, dirt everywhere, no coffee. if the situation is ideal, you get to walk everywhere and soon.
estuvimos 5 dias, la verdad es que jim es una persona muy amable y me sabe mal , pero la verdad es que no recomiendo la habitacion. esperabamos otra cosa, mucho ruido por la noche del paso de los coches, suciedad por todos lados, no hay cafetera. la situacion si es ideal, se llega a pie a todos lados y en poco tiempo.
the House is situated in a prime location Jim and a person polite and helpful but the House totally lacks basic hygiene of ranging from the kitchen where dirt reigns. the bathroom is out every toilet standard. the entrance of the House are forced to do the slalom for the large number of abandoned shoes on the ground.
We ask according to what CRITERIA THIS ACCOMMODATION it was CATALOGUED AS GUARANTEED ACCOMMODATION WIMDU
Jim is a very pleasant host, always ready to answer your questions and provide you with information on must-see places in Edinburgh. The flat is located in New Town and thus within walking distance of most sights, which is a great plus. Who is not keen on walking will find a bus stop right in front of the house, though. Also, a supermarket is just across the street, which is really comfortable. While the bathroom could have been cleaner, our room was perfectly fine. We were satisfied with our stay!
Lovely warm room in a beautiful area. Our host Jim was lovely and full of helpful hints for our stay in Edinburgh. Fully equipped kitchen/bathroom for a short or long stay! Would absolutely recommend.
Jim was a very good host he's very easy going and an intelligent man, I would highly recommend staying there in this cozy home in the centre of Edinburgh. Cheers Jim!
The apartment is well located, good distance from princess street.
Jim is a very kind host.
However, the room is not quite functioning for more than two guests.

(Road) Kings of Leon
What is the best music to listen to while driving? Clearly it's Josh Groban. Okay, it depends, right? Is it intended for the morning commute? Have you had enough caffeine yet? Rush hour Friday night? Going straight home or out after work? A road trip? Are you alone or do you have passengers? So many different factors.
Some music just seems meant to be played in the car. And I don't necessarily mean those soundtracks of yore that music labels think automatically denote "road music." Foghat? Steppenwolf? Hey, one man's Steppenwolf is another man's Zac Brown Band. One woman's Lucinda Williams is another woman's Ke$ha. (Note: I don't know what those last two sentences even mean.) Music is integral to going somewhere.
I recall a long ago, midnight road trip through a stretch of Arizona desert highway that was highlighted by the blasting sounds of Chris Isaak's "Wicked Game." It was a song that made me feel like I was either in a scene from a David Lynch film or a Herb Ritts video shoot (and preferably both). Nowadays, I might like to start my early mornings with some NPR/BBC updates followed by bone-rattling hip-hop beats from some hyphy-inspired act that I can't recall the name of at the moment, but that's just me. Let's face it, the best music for driving is that which turns your own personal crank (or the crank of that vintage digital Victrola equivalent you call a CD player). To each his own. You might wanna roll out to the sounds of Gnarls Barkley, while your significant other pulls into the driveway to the strains of Vivaldi. What gets your motor runnin' does not necessarily make them wanna head out on the highway.
That said, here's a band that sounds great on everyone's Victrola: Kings of Leon.
In my younger days, I recall road trips to college with the most successful being those filled with the sounds of AC/DC, the Cult, the Cure and Guns N' Roses. It is to this quartet of bands that I would add the Kings of Leon. Capable of rocking as hard as Angus and Axl with the angst of Astbury and Smith, the Followill Brothers in triplicate-plus-one have been steadily building the fanbase for their brand of Southern rock since just before the turn of the millennium. A trunk full of GRAMMY® Awards for Record of the Year, Best Rock Song and Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group hasn't slowed them down any either. Two perfect road trip anthems from their fifth album, Come Around Sundown (in our coffeehouses now): the first single "Radioactive" has the requisite U2-ish jangle to make it their "Where the Streets Have No Name," while the open road standout "The Immortals" is meant for rolled-down windows.

KOL--good music for getting you there! And if you do that, then a tempting compliment for the way home could be Drive By Truckers. Southern Rock Opera, especially.
- deb1988

KOL's first album really brought a new sound and a TON of energy. I'm not saying that they were trying to do so, but they have never been able to recapture that IMHO. This album has a different feel and is a good listen, but it's not what set KOL up for success in the beginning.
- amberter
Kings of Leon's new album Come Around Sundown is epic. Every morning I walk to class with my cup of Starbucks coffee in hand and my headphones in listening to "The End" and "Radioactive." I can't think of a better way to start my day, this band definitely gets the caffeine flowing through my veins. Come Around Sundown definitely has a different vibe than their previous album Only by the Night (my favorite) but I'm starting to like it more and more.
- r7207z
I saw KOL in concert for the first time (I know, late bloomer) this past summer in Chicago with my teenage daughter. This was one of the best concerts I have ever seen. I'm a big believer of you are only good as you are live. KOL prooves this in concert. Their raw talent and the "Energizer Bunny" aura was contagious. They played a few songs off CAS album which was great. Play this album 2 or 3 times and you won't be disappointed. Chorus in The Immortals is fantastic!!
- adunn1984
Great CD! I bought it the first day it came out. However, I prefer listening to this on the ride home after a day of work than the trip there. I am much more apt to listen to bands like Green River Ordinance or Augustana on the trip to work. Great Album though! The Immortals is most definetely my favorite track.

As for the rest of the film, the best that can be said is that it doesn't get too much in the way. Except for the pungent, melancholy tunes (written by co-producer T Bone Burnett and Stephen Bruton) that Bridges renders with crusty conviction, first-time director Scott Cooper's adaptation of the Thomas Cobb novel rambles along with Office-like pseudo-cinema-vérité and TV-movie plodding.
Cooper does score points for his casting of the bit parts — like Rick Dial as the ornery amateur piano player Wesley, a local musician enlisted for one of Bad's anonymous series of ad hoc back-up bands. Wesley can actually play, so Bad agrees to let Wesley's single-mom journalist niece, Jean (played like a saucer-eyed rag doll by Maggie Gyllenhaal), interview him for her paper. I don't think I'm giving too much away in telling you that Bad and Jean take a shine to each other, that he just adores her charmless little boy, that Bad himself hasn't seen his own son for years, that the booze might prove an obstacle, and that the inevitable curse of Hollywood family values strikes before the end.
If this sounds like several other movies, the filmmakers are probably as aware of that as you are. Robert Duvall, who won an Oscar as the derelict C&W troubadour Mac Sledge in the 1983 Tender Mercies, had a hand in producing this one, and he has a pungent bit part as Bad's rabbitty, ever-loyal recovering alkie pal Wayne. (Between this and his cameo in The Road, Duvall should get some kind of award for Best Performance Under 10 Minutes.)
Also part of Bad's generic backstory is his former singing partner, Tommy Sweet (Colin Farrell wielding his eyebrows like a pair of nunchucks but acquitting himself adequately in concert). Tommy's hit the big time, and you suspect his success may have owed as much to Bad's songwriting as it does to his own hunky charisma. So there's bad blood on Bad's side, but Tommy's contrite solicitousness suggests that — who knows? — a bittersweet reunion of sorts might be on the horizon.
If nothing else, Cooper's playlist of easy-listening clichés highlights the poignance and authenticity of Bad's music just as Bridges's performance validates the wry suffering and wily desperation that engender it. Maybe the best moment in the film comes when a banged-up Bad plucks out a haunting song while lying in Jean's bed. She asks him where it's from. He says, I just wrote it. And you believe him.

Students in the Career Pathways program at Pulaski Technical College will have access to a new career option beginning in March with the approval of a Certificate of Proficiency in Certified Nursing Assistant.
The Pulaski Technical College Board of Trustees approved the program addition on Jan. 28, and the Arkansas Higher Education Coordinating Board approved the certificate on Friday.
The Certificate of Proficiency in Certified Nursing Assistant will be offered beginning March 1 and will be available only to Career Pathways students.
The program consists of one course, CNA 1007: Nursing Assistant.
The course will focus on technical skills, professional relationships and workplace ethics. Graduates of the program are then eligible to complete the Arkansas skills test to become a Certified Nursing Assistant and to work in long-term care, acute care and home-health care settings.
Career Pathways currently has eight other "pathways" open to its students: dental assisting, welding, licensed practical nurse, office technology, accounting, early childhood development, medical transcription and respiratory therapy.
The college, through the Career Pathways program, has contracted with the Arkansas Academy for Nursing Assistant Training to teach the CNA course.
Career Pathways is a state-funded program that provides support services and direct financial assistance to parents who want to increase their education and employability. Participants receive academic and career advising, job placement assistance, mentoring and tutoring, access to computers and workshops targeted to their needs.
The Career Pathways program at Pulaski Tech will serve 650 students during the 2008-09 year.
To be eligible parents must meet certain income requirements and have custody of at least one child under the age of 21 who is living at home. In some cases parents may qualify for financial aid to assist with childcare, transportation, tuition, books and other educational expenses.
The program is a collaboration of the Arkansas Department of Higher Education, Arkansas Association of Two-Year Colleges, Arkansas Department of Workforce Services, Arkansas Department of Workforce Education and Career Opportunities and Southern Good Faith Fund. It is grant funded from the Arkansas TANF Oversight Board.
