Wendy Erd writes at a small desk in the bedroom of her home on the
bluff outside Homer. The window opens on a patch of dense second-growth
spruce -- "the dark woods" that Erd prefers unkempt and overgrown, a
place she won't allow her husband to clean up or thin out.
She works on unlined sheets with a pencil -- really just a large pad of
recycled scratch paper. Later she revises at her computer. But for
first drafts of poems and nonfiction stories, she prefers the feel of a
pencil in her fingers, the tactile contact of lead on paper.
Erd, 45, has fished in Bristol Bay for a dozen years now with husband
Peter Kaufmann. That leaves the fall and winter for writing. Often the
stories and poems emerge slowly, requiring many revisions. But
sometimes they arrive complete, scribbled on the page in a single
That's what happened last fall with the poem "Waiting", winner of the
Grand Prize in the 1996 University of Alaska/Anchorage Daily News
Creative Writing Contest.
"The majority of it came in one sitting," Erd says. "Isn't it lucky
when that happens? To me, that's what makes it worth all the struggling
Erd wasn't an ambitious writer when she arrived in Homer more than two
decades ago. She loved writing and reading, but her commitment to her
own writing ripened slowly.
Growing up in suburban Palo Alto, Calif., she'd attended a community
college near home, then spent several years at the University of
California at Davis, where she concentrated on English classes but
never declared a major. It was 1971 when Erd decided to travel to
Alaska with Kaufmann, who'd just graduated with a degree in zoology.
"Peter really was the instigating force, because when he was a kid in
grade school, they showed some travelogue about Alaska, and he was
hooked," she says. "We were just on one of those adventures where you
head north. We just came to see what Alaska was like and never left."
Anchorage, they decided, was too urban. A new friend suggested they
check out Homer. The canneries were hiring, and droves of other young
people were arriving and moving into the woods.
"We left and drove straight to the end of the Spit at Homer and signed
on at a cannery," Erd says. "We were cresting on that wave of people
coming in and taking over all those old cabins on the hill."
Erd and Kauffman never left Homer. Over the years she's worked "a
million jobs" there, Erd says -- gardener, janitor, tutor, even
education curator at the local museum. For a while, she ran her own New
Leaf Landscaping business.
She and Kaufmann both spent about eight years as seasonal field workers
for the state Department of Fish and Game, before a stint on Kalgin
Island in Cook Inlet convinced them to try commercial fishing on their
own. Twelve years ago, they bought a limited-entry setnet permit for
harvesting salmon from a beach in Bristol Bay.
Off-season in Homer, they lived in a homestead cabin without running
water. Eventually, they moved into their own home on the bluff
overlooking town. It's peaceful there now, even when they disagree
about how to manage the woods surrounding their house. (They finally
agreed on "his" and "hers" sections -- his trimmed and open, hers wild
and dark.)
As the years have passed, Erd says, writing has gained in importance
for her. About four or five years ago, she began pursuing it seriously
-- "with intent."
The trips she and Kaufmann took to Asia in the winters served as
catalysts. Amazing experiences and exotic sights demanded to be written
"I've always been writing, and I've always really loved writing," she
says. "I think maybe (the traveling) combined with just the fact of
having my winters where I can really concentrate."
Last year, she attended a two-week residency at a writer's colony in
Vermont. But mostly, Erd has nurtured her talent alone, often as a way
of reflecting on her own experiences.
"I don't think my writing background comes from academic (sources), as
much as on my own," she says. "If you were to look in the files of all
the stuff I've written, I would say it's two-thirds nonfiction and
one-third poetry."
In the early 1990s, she began entering her stories and poems in the
Kenai Peninsula Writers' Contest sponsored by the Homer News. A couple
of stories and a poem won and were published. Another poem was
published by Homer-based Wizard Works in a book of poems about Alaska
birds called "Flights of Fancy."
She sold a few stories to the Anchorage Daily News, including an essay
about her experience in a Chicago supermarket as one of the Alaska
commercial fishermen who went Outside last year to market salmon.
Another story about visiting Vietnam will appear next year in a
collection about women traveling abroad.
"Waiting" -- Erd's third published poem -- arose from a writing
exercise. During a workshop in Homer last fall with author Pam Houston,
she was given an assignment. "The prompt was, take a headline or a
byline from a paper and -- not reading the story that goes with it --
write your own story," Erd says.
Later at her desk at home, she was intrigued by a headline in the Anchorage Daily News: "Nervous Japanese Await Quake."
The city of Kobe had just been rocked by a massive earthquake and Japan
was expecting another. The poem came quickly and easily, drawing on
Erd's own memories.
"The imagery came from traveling in Japan," she says. "We've been there a couple of times."
Erd shies away from discussing the meaning of the poem. She likes
thinking that readers will find their own significance. "That's one of
the wonderful things about writing: Everyone reads and finds their own
secrets there."
Erd and Kauffman now are preparing for another season at Bristol Bay,
though they've put their permit up for sale and are considering
retiring from fishing. "It's so exhausting," Erd says.
Come fall, she may try to write about Bristol Bay. She's got other work in progress as well, much of it almost finished.
"I have a lot of poetry that I haven't sent anywhere," Erd says. "I've
been focusing more on the writing end than on the publishing end. And
I'm never satisfied -- I'm my own harshest critic."

Woodside Energy Ltd. and BHP Petroleum have taken the first step in a long-term cooperative arrangement in North Africa.
Woodside will acquire a 15 percent interest in the Ohanet Risk Service Contract, a 50 percent stake in the Boukheckba Production Sharing Contract plus a 50 percent interest in the Ouest Hassi R'Mel Gas Study Agreement.
Woodside will pay BHP $22.5 million for the assets. The transaction is subject to approval from the Algerian government and Sonatrach, Algeria's national oil and gas company.
Woodside's involvement in the Ouest Hassi R'Mel Gas Study Agreement signals closer cooperation between Woodside and BHP in developing opportunities in Algeria and elsewhere in North Africa.
The gas study accord grants BHP rights to analyze seismic and well data covering about 84,000 square kilometers north and west of Algeria's strategic Hassi R'Mel gas field and puts the company in a strong position to pursue future exploration licenses in that area.
Woodside officials said the move was consistent with the company's focused strategy of international growth through development of self-sustaining businesses in a small number of countries.
BHP and its joint venture partners signed the Ohanet Risk Service Contract with Sonatrach in July 2000 for development of four gas and condensate reservoirs in Algeria's Ohanet region.
The Ohanet risk contract commits the joint venture to establish commercial production of 710 MMcf/d of gas. First production is planned for October 2003 with a peak liquids production rate of 58,000 b/d.

Placing of flags at the Cortez Cemetery will begin at 2 p.m. on May 24. Post 75 Adjutant Ken Hoyle said the Legion invites any interested parties to help place flags, especially family members of veterans whose graves have no indication of their military service.
"Each year, we get complaints from family members that we missed a grave," Hoyle said. "We try very hard to locate all marked veterans graves and place flags by them."
Hoyle added that it is easier for Legion members to locate those veterans who have "official" military gravestones or who have military plaques affixed to traditional stones.
"We've seen some traditional stones that also have an indication of military service engraved on them, which is helpful," Hoyle said. "Usually when we miss one it is because the gravestone has no indication of the Veteran's service."
American Legion Post 75 and Cortez Cemetery office manager Chris Carlson are working together to locate all veterans interned at Cortez Cemetery. They plan to develop and maintain a comprehensive list that will be updated regularly. The public's help in ensuring this list is complete is welcomed. Mr. Carlson may be reached at his office by calling 970-565-1050. Information may also be left with the American Legion by calling 970-565-8151.
Volunteers from the Legion, Ladies Auxiliary and community will meet to remove the flags at 4 p.m. Memorial Day afternoon.

Vertical Church is a contemporary church that came to Sheridan earlier this year, and they're becoming known for thinking "outside the box" when it comes to reaching people with the message of God's love. Sheridan Media's Mary Jo Johnson has more.
Throughout the summer, the Vertical Church has been bringing family-friendly movie nights to the Kendrick Park band shell, setting up a giant screen and even bigger speakers on the stage. Wrapped in blankets or wearing jackets and sitting on lawn chairs, people of all ages have gathered on the grass to enjoy a cartoon short, free popcorn and soda, and a feature-length film the 1st and 3rd Thursday evenings each month.
I stopped by the park this past week and spoke with one of the pastors at Vertical Church, Michael Ames.
The final Vertical Church Family Movie Night in the Park for 2009 is set for the first Thursday in September, and hopefully the raindrops will stay away from the big screen one last time.

A soldier from Blackpool whose body was found at an Army barracks "served his country with the highest degree of honour and dedication", his family said.
The body of Corporal Geoffrey McNeill, 32, was discovered at Clive Barracks in Tern Hill, Shropshire, at around 9am on Saturday.
A 23-year-old soldier has been arrested on suspicion of murder.
No details have been revealed about the investigation which is "in its early stages".
Tests are being carried out to establish the cause of death following an initial post-mortem examination, West Mercia Police confirmed.
A member of Cpl McNeill's family said the soldier, who is originally from Northern Ireland, had lived in Blackpool since the age of 15.
He had also attended St George's High School, in Marton.
His family today said he was a "much loved son, brother, uncle and friend" who "dedicated his life" to serving his country.
One of his three brothers, Jason McNeill, speaking on behalf of the family, said: "Geoff was born in Ballymoney, Northern Ireland, and dedicated his life to the 1st Battalion, Royal Irish Regiment.
"He served his country with the highest degree of honour and dedication.
"He was a much loved son, brother, uncle and friend and touched the lives of all who had the pleasure of meeting him.
"The family would like to give thanks for the continued support of the Army, police and all who knew and loved Geoff. Our love for him remains as strong as ever. Rest in peace soldier. Faugh-a-Ballagh."
Detectives said the man in custody at Shrewsbury Police Station is based at the barracks near Market Drayton.
A post-mortem examination was carried out over the weekend but further tests have been ordered to try to establish the cause of death, a West Mercia Police spokesman said.
The coroner has also been informed.
Det Insp Steve Tonks, of West Mercia Police, said: "We have made an arrest in connection with the death.
"The investigation is in its early stages and extensive inquiries are continuing.
"A post-mortem conducted by a Home Office pathologist was held yesterday and further examination and tests are being carried out to help establish the cause of death."
An MoD spokesman said: "Our thoughts are with the family and friends affected at this difficult time.
"We are assisting West Mercia Police with their investigation and it would be inappropriate for us to comment any further at this time."
Capt Jay Walker, of the 1st Battalion, Royal Irish Regiment, based at Tern Hill, said next of kin had been informed and civilian police were handling the investigation.
The Army would give police every assistance, he said.
Cpl McNeill, who was not married, is from the same battalion deployed only last month to help flood-stricken communities in Worcestershire after record levels of rain fell across the UK.
Members of the unit met Prime Minister David Cameron when he toured some of the county's flood defences at Upton-upon-Severn on February 17.
During that visit, Mr Cameron praised the soldiers' efforts in using their troop carriers to set up a shuttle bus service getting townspeople from one side of the flooded river to the other, while residents also expressed their delight at the military's presence.
The unit, which has seen action in Iraq and Afghanistan in recent years, returned to its Shropshire barracks after assisting with the flooding civil emergency. News of Cpl Geoffrey McNeill's death sparked an outpouring of tributes on social networking sites.
His sister, Kimberley, took to Facebook to desperately appeal for any information leading to her brother's death and said their family will not rest until they get justice.
She wrote: "If anyone has any information about my brother then please come forward.
"Anything no matter how insignificant you think it might be.
"Share this (post) in the hope that it can trigger someone's memory of conscience, we will not rest until we get justice."
She also changed her profile picture to one of her and her brother.
Relative Pamela Lindsay commented on the picture saying: "My thoughts are with you at this sad time. Love you aunty pam xx."
Another friend, Cath Cairns, added: "Our thoughts and our love is with you all at this sad time xxx."
Kerrie Johnston wrote: "So sad. RIP soldier"
And Kel Meredith paid her respects saying: "Thoughts are with you and your family x."
Donna Slater added: "RIP Geoff... big loss of a solider son brother uncle and a kind hearted man may you fly with the angels."

Publishing Insiders Reveal Price-Fixing Conspiracy
I will admit that when the first lawsuit was filed back in August, I didn't think it would amount to much. I don't like Agency pricing and as much as I enjoyed criticizing the Price Fix 6, I didn't really believe that we would ever see any real proof that they had conspired. But this week I found out that I was wrong.
I haven't covered this much since that first post, but there are now a total of 30 class-action lawsuits over this one issue. The various law firms involved in the suits were in NYC this week, fighting over who would take the lead in the lawsuits after they were combined. One firm in particular, Grant & Eisenhofer, has filed a brief that reports that:
G&E has been investigating this case since we were approached through counsel by an industry source in March 2011. This source provided detailed knowledge from his years in the industry that further spurred our investigation.
But this gets even better. Another firm is also reporting that they have an inside source. Their brief mentions:
"an in-person meeting, which I attended, with a very knowledgeable and important confidential source."
Yeah, it looks like I was wrong. Even so, this lawsuit isn't going to solve anything in the short run. It's going to take years for the case to make its way through the courts, and even when the case is decided or settled the price points and the 70% commission will be so integrated into how publishing does business that I do not see them ever going away.
On the other hand, this lawsuit might end up costing publishers the fixed price component, and that means that we could start seeing deep-discounting Agency ebooks again. That would make me happy; competition is good.

|The Dutch Sabir. K., suspected of acts of terrorism, possibly will end up in a hellish imprisonment if he gets extradited to America. The USA suspects K. of doing acts of war against American troops in Afghanistan.
So, what I understand here is that doing an act of war in a country where war is raging on, is counted as a terrorist act?
Even more, the Americans don't even own Afghanistan, they are the foreigners there. So how exactly is this justified?

Manufacturer's focus on manufacturing, industrial buildings
CSE: How does your technology help engineers make their clients' manufacturing facilities more energy efficient?
Carpenter: Our unified automation platform can deliver complete visibility to all production and non-production systems and utility spend allowing customers to make real time decisions and improvements. Automated data collection tracks and analyzes vast amounts of data in real time and our advanced energy analysis tools such as regression analysis, deviation, cumulative sum load profiles, and load factor provide insight into energy use, cost, and environmental performance at the organizational, building, and meter levels. When energy saving strategies are implemented, comparison to past performance and cost can be easily made on a day-to-day, month-to-month, year-to-year basis and can be normalized for weather and critical business metrics to ensure that the efficiencies are maintained on an ongoing basis. This can be done at a single site or multiple sites, allowing benchmarking between facilities, delivering metrics that drive improvement projects. The use of dashboard tools allows for real time tracking of performance against key performance indicators (KPI). Performance metrics are updated, monitored and used as a part of a comprehensive program management process that fully engages the organization in achieving energy reduction goals
CSE: How does your technology help engineers make their clients' manufacturing facilities more energy efficient?
Patel: While our equipment consumes very little energy for its normal operation, it certainly can play a role in reducing total energy footprint. Especially the power monitoring and diagnostic capability we offer that allows users to define load profiles for most of their system and trigger alarms/actions when actual profile goes outside of prescribed norms. We also enable make/buy decisions for electricity based on spot pricing feeds to our monitoring systems which would turn on existing on-site generation system when normal source becomes too expensive for certain periods of day/month.
CSE: What HVAC issue (air filtration, outside air, building envelope, etc.) comes to the forefront most when you're supporting engineers in such facilities? How do you help overcome these issues/answer their questions?
Carpenter: The issues vary based upon the manufacturing facility, depending on the product and process. For example, pharmaceuticals and semiconductor clean rooms have critical requirements for temperature control and air quality, which is significantly different from the typical HVAC requirements in heavy manufacturing. Trane experts use HVAC equipment knowledge and system design expertise to help engineers with their HVAC designs. The company also uses sophisticated building modeling software to estimate the heating and cooling loads, the energy usage, and the efficiency tradeoffs between different HVAC and lighting design strategies that could be proposed for a facility. The system modeling and energy analysis tools allow the engineer to effectively select the most efficient design.

Guitarist/vocalist Adam "Nergal" Darski of Polish extreme metallers BEHEMOTH has secured a deal with Jawbone Press for the release of the English-language version of his autobiography, "Sacrum Profanum". Due in early 2015, the book will receive editorial assistance from Mark Eglinton, co-author of Rex Brown's memoir, "Official Truth, 101 Proof - The Inside Story Of Pantera".Originally released in Poland in October 2012, "Sacrum Profanum" was previously described by Darski as "a really long in-depth interview." The "Sacrum Profanum" cover photo was taken by Ivo Ledwozyw, with post-production by Seth Siro Anton (PARADISE LOST, KAMELOT, MOONSPELL, SOILWORK, EXODUS, JOB FOR A COWBOY, DECAPITATED, VADER). Several promotional clips for "Sacrum Profanum" were directed by Dariusz Szermanowicz of Polish producers Grupa 13, with whom Nergal previously collaborated on the BEHEMOTH videos "At The Left Hand Ov God" and "Ov Fire And The Void". The trailers were scripted by Nergal and are "little portraits of certain chapters of the book," according to the BEHEMOTH frontman. The clips show Nergal reading excerpts from the autobiography as well as acting out parts of stories that he describes as "some funny, some sad, some evil — some related to the band, some not." The series of trailers are in the Polish language with English subtitles. In December 2010, Darski underwent a bone marrow transplant procedure after being diagnosed with a life-threatening form of leukemia.

Designer Tips
- Cut 4-6 feet of beading thread and add a needle to each end. Center a two-hole tile bead on the cord.
- Add 1 size 11, 1 teardrop, and 1 size 11 to each thread. Then thread both cords through 1 two-hole tile. Continue this pattern, until you've added approximately 20 tile beads.
- Thread the cords through the first two-hole to create a circle (bangle). Hold the threads taut to make sure the bangle will slip over the largest part of your hand. Adjust the number of beads if necessary.
- Thread the cords back through the opposite holes of the 2-hole bead you just came out of. Now continue to thread the cords through all the beads to reinforce your work. Reinforcing from the opposite direction, keeps the piece from sliding open.

This is the heartwarming first image of a family reunited with their mum.
Doreen Blackburn, a former Burnley and Pendle nurse, had been stranded in Portugal after suffering two major strokes.
The 78-year-old had expressed a desire to return to England, having moved across to the European country 15 years ago with her husband Maurice. But after falling ill, and having used her health insurance after contracting lung cancer, her relatives were told the devastating news that it would cost £12,000 to get her back home.
Now, following fund-raisers and individual donations, Doreen's daughter Sharon Borrowdale was able to accompany her on a five hour flight back to the UK - a moment the family never thought they would see.
Mrs Blackburn is now in Airedale Hospital, where she is currently undergoing medical assessments.
Mrs Borrowdale (53), of Grassington Drive, Burnley, said: "It has been very emotional from start to finish, and I am still on cloud nine.
"As a family, we just couldn't believe it was happening. One minute there was all this trauma and fund-raising, and next minute she's here.
"We are all just speechless and we can't thank everybody enough - from the paramedics, to the British Consul, to everybody who has been fund-raising."
Mrs Blackburn's husband will return to Colne on Sunday

It's happening." Beck said, "Nobody feels like they're listening. We're shouting over each other, and you know, everything — I mean, I was watching the first 20 minutes of the show. Gee, who would have guessed those guests would have said those things? Everybody feels like there is a play going on, and we're just watching it and looking at each other and shaking our heads in disbelief.

BUENOS AIRES, Sept 23 (Reuters) - Argentina's Congress gave final approval on Wednesday to a law making it harder for the government to sell state stakes in local firms, a month before elections seen bringing a more market-friendly president to power.
With Cristina Fernandez barred from a third consecutive term, the two main candidates are her ruling party's Daniel Scioli and the PRO opposition party's Mauricio Macri. Both are expected to move away from her interventionist policies, to varying degrees.
The law, passed 127-84 in the lower house, would create an agency to administer the state's stakes in companies as diverse as regional banks and media conglomerate Clarin. It would require the governments to get two-thirds approval in congress if it wanted to sell a stake.
Ruling party lawmaker Roberto Feletti said the law aimed to "protect state interests, giving parliament the ability to decide whether or not to sell them".
Fernandez has expropriated several companies over the years, including a water company, the oil company YPF and the country's biggest airline, Aerolineas Argentinas. The state also acquired a number of stakes in companies when it nationalized its private pension system.
This policy which scared off international investors was popular at home. Many Argentines fear that if Macri won October's elections, he could return them to the neoliberal policies and privatisations of the 1990s.
Opposition lawmakers were critical of the fact the sale of state stakes in companies would require a two-thirds approval in Congress given laws only require a simple majority.
Argentina's senators already passed the law in a vote last week. (Reporting by Ricardo Mangano; Writing by Sarah Marsh; Editing by Bernard Orr)

Just back from an afternoon blat round Y Wal, punctuated by stopping to collect peoples' discarded rubbish at nearly every gate.
Normally it's nowhere near this bad - is everyone rebelling against the fact that a load of 'Take Your Litter Home' signs have appeared on the waymarkers recently ("The Man can't tell me what to do - I'll drop as much litter as I want")???
To all offenders: you're not Julien Absalon or Frank Schleck. You are not in a race where someone is following you to pick up your stuff. You are bimbling round the Welsh countryside. This does not make you so Rad that you can't possibly pause to stuff a gel wrapper in your pocket.
That is all.

Click here to view this resume
Through years of experience, you are confident in your ability to get the job done with the level of professionalism it deserves. However, if your resume is full of commonly-made errors, it may tell employers the opposite things about you. Dont get overlooked because of a few errors and check out how to solve them with this expert feedback for a certified nurse midwife resume sample.
Dont discuss too much in the professional summary section
Patty is correct in utilizing the professional summary section of her resume. It gives her an opportunity to give a sales-pitch to employers about relevant skills and experience, but she writes too much in this area. This section should only be four to six lines long, and only highlight the very best about an applicant. Patty also makes a mistake in describing what a particular organization does. She would need to remove this information and shorten the section, making sure it all fits in one paragraph. WRONG: Entry level Certified Nurse Midwife and MSN.I have 22 years of experience as Registered Nurse with obstetrics as my main focus of care. The units in which I have worked are varied in size from a small community hospital with 110 deliveries per month to a Level III obstetrical unit, antepartum and NICU with 275 deliveries per month. My out of hospital obstetrical experience includes working as a high risk OB case manager for the largest health insurance carrier in Nevada and private office fetal testing. I saw approximately eight to 10 patients for fetal monitoring and biophysical profiles per day, four days a week. I am a member of the Clark County Medical Reserve Corps. MRC members are various medically trained volunteers that assist in local emergencies and disasters and local charity events and school immunizations. Before becoming an RN I worked as a Licensed Practical Nurse in labor and delivery as the on call nurse for a very small rural hospital. I learned to scrub cesarean sections and tubal ligations and other GYN procedures. Other experience during my 15 years as an LPN, obtained an EMT-II license and worked with the volunteer ambulance service. I have an excellent bedside manner and enjoy working with culturally diversified clients. My mission as a CNM is to provide community women accessible quality care and education about the importance of disease prevention and self care. RIGHT: Registered nurse with 22 years of experience with obstetrics as main focus of care, from small community hospital setting to Level III obstetrical unit, antepartum, and NICO. Experience as high-risk OB case manager. Obtained EMT-II license and dedicated to providing excellent bedside manner with culturally diverse clients. Motivated to provide community women accessible quality care and education about the importance of disease prevention and self-care.
Remove really old employment
When applicants have decades of experience, it is tempting to place it all on a resume. However, this only makes a resume overly long. Only the last 15 to 20 years of experience should make it on a resume, especially if it is the most relevant to the position being applied for. Patty includes internships and jobs from the 90s that needs to be removed.
Dont write too many work experience details
Length is always an issue for resumes that should ideally fit on two pages maximum. To make sure everything fits on as few pages as possible, each list of job duties should have at least five points but no more than eight points. Patty typically follows this rule, but she goes over this number in one of her jobs. There is a job out there waiting for you, so dont let your resume stand in your way. Take advantage of QuintCareer's Resume Builder for a top-notch resume.

great effort
It's great that you're really trying to get the anatomy right. The attention to detail on the arms must have took a lot of practice. However, you made a mistake that was made famous by Stan Lee in his book "Drawing the Marvel Way": the characters are too upright, giving the illusion that they are mannequins rather than living characters.
Rated 4 / 5 stars
But I feel the persectives a little off probably because of that zombie on the right and the sidewalk too. plus the guy' right hand looks a little off for some reason too. But I like it alot. Just some parts are bothering me. Still.. Thats still some hot wasabi! *i guess*
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
Cool boner...
pretty f-ing sweet. i like the details of the buildings.
Rated 4 / 5 stars
Good work
I like what you've done here. You did a good job with details on the character in the foreground as well as the zombies in the background, You've got anatomy down really well, a lot of the time people will draw an arm or leg too long or too short. I'd suggest making the smoke a little puffier. Instead of short round borders on the smoke, larger ones. Plus the building in the foreground can use some more detail. Maybe a few bricks here and there, so it doesn't look like white space.
Nice picture.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
and I am not even a zombies fan really
I thought the smoke looked like smoke until i read the, fur comment. lol
I like this a lot. I like where the Rib Guy is, he is a really good center point to balance out all of the things you have going on, plus I like the ribs. Cool details too.
thanks. Perhaps another zombie pic should be in the works. but this time, an army of those wretched undead!

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] etz_crumbs
Hopefully this is the correct area to ask something like this. I'm fairly new to TextPattern and having a hard time figuring this out.
On this page ( http://www.polyworld.com.au/1-products/?c=poly-trolys ), I have the following code creating bread crumbs:

<txp:etz_crumbs hometitle="Home" separator=" :: " category="1" expand="1" />

The problem is, Products is being shown twice in the breadcrumb trail (I would like it to only show once). I can't figure out how to stop that from happening. I'm guessing it has something to do with the way categories are setup?
The category structure looks something like this:
—Material Handling
—-Poly Troly's
I appreciate any help with getting this straightened out, preferably without needing to restructure all the categories.

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] etz_crumbs
I think the reason for the duplication is that the top level category has the same title as the section (I'm not a user of etz_crumbs, just had a look at the options in the first post). So you'd have to remove one of these. Try using the following code:

<txp:if_section name="1-products">
<txp:etz_crumbs hometitle="Home" separator=" :: " category="1" expand="1" section="0" />
<txp:else />
<txp:etz_crumbs hometitle="Home" separator=" :: " category="1" expand="1" />
In case there are more duplications of top level category and section title, you could put the section title behind the first one into the
if_section tag and separate them by a comma.
You could also try whether etz_crumbs supports wraptag and class (i.e. try removing the divs and use
wraptag="div" class="breadcrumbs" inside the crumb tags), so you won't get an empty div in case there is no breadcrumb displayed.
At the moment both section and top level category links lead to empty pages, BTW.
Welcome to the forum!

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] etz_crumbs
That did the trick, thank you! The options make a little more sense now, too. I pretty much dove head first into this project to help someone out. So I'm a bit over my head when it comes to the finer points. So you'll probably be seeing more of me on the forums!

Garment king to the King dead at 85
Bernard Lansky was a Memphis-based schmate-peddler whose tips on sartorial nuance helped to establish a young Elvis Presley's signature clothing style.
It was Lansky who swathed Presley in his trademark pink and black shirts, pegged pants, two-toned shoes, and other innovative and outrageous (by '50's standards) accoutrement.
Lansky had no idea that it was Elvis Presley looking through the window of Lansky Brothers when the shopkeeper invited him in to inspect the merchandise. Presley said, "When I get rich, I'm going to buy you out," to which Lansky replied, "Don't buy me out. Just buy from me."
Elvis, who continued to shop there throughout his life, talked the place up. Business went through the roof and in no time Bernard Lansky became known as Clothier to the King.
The two became friendly. Lansky would frequently open the store after hours for the King to shop undisturbed. In Mid-August 1957, Elvis traded Lansky a three-wheel custom-built Messerschmitt in exchange for a two-and-a-half hour shopping spree at his clothing store.
According to the AP, Lansky opened his retail business in 1946 with a $125 loan from his father. When the war ended, the store started selling Army surplus goods. Lansky eventually transformed the place into a high-end men's clothing store, where he established a reputation as a natural born salesman and raconteur.
Lansky selected the white suit and blue tie that Presley was buried in. He got a kick out of letting customers know, "I put his first suit on him and his last suit on him."
Julie Lansky told the AP that her grandfather died Thursday at his Memphis home.
More like this:

- Style profile: The goth girl — Dec. 6, 2012
- The Rolling Stones' first San Diego concert was 48 years ago this week (11-1-64) — Nov. 1, 2012
- Comic Fest on Hotel Circle, Day Three: Photo Report — Oct. 21, 2012
- Ocean Beach Street Style Revisited: Hippies Galore — Aug. 16, 2012
I was kind of hoping he WAS the studded jumpsuit designer.
I'll dig a hole for that genius when the time comes. ;)
The designer of Elvis' famous $10,000 gold lame suit was Nudie Cohn (no, I'm not making the name up!). Wikipedia the name if you don't believe me.

The Peugeot 908's win last weekend at the 24 Hours of Le Mans was not Peugeot's first: they won back-to-back titles in 1992 and 1993 with this — the gorgeous 905.
24 Hours Of Le Mans 2009: Stunning Mega-Gallery
While Americans are reinventing endurance racing in a dadaist manner, Europeans are still doing their thing at Le Mans, 86 years after the first race. And it was Audi vs. Peugeot yet again. Warning: spoilers.

Museums in Badajoz. Find out more information about museums in Badajoz: Extremadura and Ibero-American Contemperary Art, Archaeological and others.
Extremadura and Ibero-American Contemporary Art
The Junta of Extremadura runs this museum that occupies a space that once housed the city's "preventive and correctional" jail.
Jose Antonio Galea is the architect responsible for this project which includes a museum with 75,000 sq. ft. of exposition space, not including the potential exterior display space.
The name and concept of the museum is the result of an interpretation in line with the objectives established by the Autonomous Community of Extremadura. This mission of the museum was established keeping in mind the Statute of Autonomy of Extremadura which recognizes a preferential historical relationship Extremadura has with Portugal and Latin America. Also, the objecitive of the MEIAC is to stand out with an alternative operating strategy, without excluding traditional forms of stewardship, with respect to traditionally centralized operating models used by museums.
This museum consists of two buildings: a small administrative building along with another, the principal building, which is the preserved panopticon from the previous prison. This historic building is divided in 5 levels with a large open ground floor that is used for temporary collections and expositions. The museum also has spaces dedicated to gardens, archives, library and a theater. The museum houses more than 500 works of art amongst which are works by: Timoteo Pérez Rubio, Ortega Muñoz, Luis Canelo, Eduardo Naranjo, Wolf Vostell, Juan Barjola, Pedro Cabrita Reis, Juliao Sarmento, Leonel Moura, Helena Almeida, Susana Solano, Juan Muñoz, Miquel Navarro, Juan Uslé, Alfredo Jaar, Ray Smith, and Liliana Porter.
In addition to temporary expositions, the museum also hosts concerts with music from the 20th century, projections of films and electronic media, conferences, poetry readings and workshops.
Archaeological Museum
In 1867, the Provincial Monuments Commission, on the instructions of the Central Commission, founded a museum that would later become the Provincial Archeological Museum of Badajoz. After years without having a fixed home, the Museum moved into its present location. In 1989 the museum moved into the Alcazaba of Badajoz, which had just concluded a 17 year renovation. This monument, constructed by the Almohads in the 12th century, would be the new home to the museum, specifically the Palacio de los Condes de la Roca y Duques de Feria. This Palace is an extension of the Alcazaba constructed at the end of 14th century in a renaissance style with Mudejar elements.
The format of the museum revolves around the cultures that have influenced the Badajoz Province in which the Guadiana River plays an important role in the geography of the province. This river has been a determining factor in the growth and development of the region. With that in mind, the museum leads the visitor through a chronological tour of the various periods:
Lower and mid-Paleolithic: represented by pieces of carved quartzite, we will also see how Badajoz had little population during this time.
Copper Age: This area is comprised mostly of the remains of grave goods that have been unearthed, idols and household utensils. There are also examples of early Bronze-Age artifacts as well as ceramic examples of the development of a Bell-Beaker culture.
Iron Age and Orientalizing Period: Here you will find an important collection of warrior stelae dating from the end of the Bronze Age. There is also a small exhibit with pieces dating from the Second Iron Age.
Roman Occupation: Since there is world renowned museum in the neighboring province of Merida dedicated solely to the world of Emerita Augusta, here we will find an exhibition focusing on Roman settlements found in Badajoz and exploring the aspects of day to day living during the Roman Age.
Middle Ages: Here we will see the latter part of the Roman Age around the time of the introduction of Christianity, which would be the new unifying force in the late Imperial Roman period. There are also examples illustrating the Visigothic presence in Badajoz. Also important are the architectural expositions that give the visitor the opportunity to appreciate the excellent collection of Visigothic and Islamic architectural pieces.
Complementing your visit to the museum is a must see visit to the Alcazaba, one of the most important military installations constructed during the Moorish occupation that remains well preserved to this day. Finally there is a small area dedicated to the Christian Lower Middle Age.
This museum also has exposition spaces and conference areas which are programmed throughout the year along with an excellent collection of teaching material and publications.
Museum of Fine Art
The Badajoz Provincial Museum of Fine Art was inaugurated in January of 1920 in one of the rooms located in the Provincial Council building. In the beginning the museum had only 58 works of art on display and since then has been continually growing in size. Over the years it has been able to increase its patrimony by sourcing works found in state-run museums, through donations and by acquiring works available on the market.
This continued growth forced the Provincial Council to consider finding a new home for this budding museum and at the end of the 1970's acquired a building on Melendez Valdes Street in Badajoz. Not long after moving in to their new home in 1979, the museum realized that this space still would not be sufficient to properly exhibit the museum's collections. The museum, with funding from the regional government, went on to purchase neighboring buildings to expand the existing museum. Among the buildings acquired was an urban palace located on Duque de San German Street, permitting the museum to expand rearwards towards and expanding considerably (almost doubling) the space of the museum. This building is now home to the current entrance to the museum and, given its architectural particularity, gives the museum a truly unique identity.
From the 58 original works the museum began with, there are now over 1200 pieces between paintings and sculptures that belong to the museum and represent over 200 artists. Although there are some works of art representative of the period prior to the 19th century, they comprise only a small part of the museum's holdings which is primarily focused on contemporary works. Of the examples prior to the 19th century there are works by Morales, Zubaran, Luis de Morales, a painting considered to be from Caravaggio and pieces recovered from the now disappeared retable from the church of Casas de Don Pedro.
The majority of works in the museum's collection, and it artistic strength, lies in art from the 19th and 20th centuries. You will find works from artists such as Nicolas Megia, Felipe Checa or Torre Isunza. The portrayal of daily life in Extremadura is represented by the costumbrismo of Eugenio Hermonso and Adelardo Covarsi.
Other painters from the 20th century you will find here are: Perez Jimenez, Carrasco Garrorena, Caldera and Timoteo Perez. Many of these artists share a similar style of painting which focuses on expansive landscapes and warm colors that show a strong influence of the impressionism exhibited by Timoteo Perez and Antonio Juez.
Of course, a provincial museum must also be a showcase for local artists and this museum offers an excellent offering of local and regional artists like: Godofredo Ortega Muñoz, Juan Barjola, Eduardo Naranjo, Juan Jose Narbon, Bonifacio Lazaro and Fernandez Megias.
The Museum along with the provincial government is committed to the continued growth of the museum and its collections. Along with its work in acquiring new pieces it is also active in the restoration and conservation of the historic buildings that it occupies producing a museum with an excellent artistic and architectural patrimony.

South Korea to Boost Vehicle Fuel Economy Standards
4 June 2009
Yonhap. South Korea plans to raise the fuel economy of locally-made vehicles to surpass future requirements being by the US and Japan, according to the Ministry of Knowledge Economy (MKE). Korea's fuel efficiency standards are already slated to increase 16.5% in 2012 from the current levels.
New passenger cars sold within the country in 2008 ran an average of 11.47 kilometers per liter of fuel (27 mpg US, 8.7 L/100km)—up from 11.04 km/L (26 mpg US, 9.1 L/100km) recorded in 2007.
This current improvement in fuel efficiency is attributable mainly to increasing sales of lightweight vehicles and small cars, as well as to advances in engine and parts technologies, according to MKE.
South Korea enacted fuel economy standards in 2006 for domestic cars and in 2009 for imported cars with sales of less than 10,000 vehicles. Companies manufacturing or importing more than 10,000 vehicles per year are subject to US CAFE standards.
Standards as strict as those of advanced countries are likely to be in place by 2015 and 2020, MKE said.

When the new four team playoff was announced last year many speculated that the likely venue to host such an event was an obvious one: Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas – or as most know it "Jerry's World." It appears as if the bidding process is playing out just like most of us thought it would.
Dallas & Tampa only bids to host 1st CFB title game 1-12-15; Dallas "virtual lock" for game sources told @espn
— Brett McMurphy (@McMurphyESPN) March 26, 2013
The new Cowboys Stadium has already played host to many big time events including the Super Bowl, the Cotton Bowl, and the kickoff game last year between Michigan and Alabama and that's just the tip of the iceberg for this palace of grandeur.
Let's just hope the weather is better than it was for it's biggest stagged event, when it hosted Super Bowl XLV. Let's also hope that folks who bought tickets actually get seats in the stadium this time too. That would be a nice treat over the last time they hosted a sports biggest event, huh?
Now, if Tampa Bay wins out it would be a bigger shock than Appalachian State beating Michigan back in 2007 – sorry, couldn't resist.

A shower or two could pop up Tuesday morning before a better chance for storms develops in the afternoon.
The isolated showers could come around lunch time. Otherwise, it will be mostly sunny with hot and humid conditions and highs in the low 90s.
The isolated afternoon storms are expected to continue through the rest of the work week.

Good Points
Very accurate
Extremely powerful
Metal Slide
Bad Points
None so far
General Comments
I bought my KJW Glock 23 around two weeks ago. It has been working fine since.
When using green gas it is very powerful and can sometimes penetrate a coke can. When using .20g bb pellets it can shoot around 30-40 meters depending on the wind. The metal slide is of top quality and dosen't look like it will brake soon. The magazine is also made out of sturdy metal and won't be breaking anytime soon.
The gun also has adjustable hop- up which comes in handy when shooting outdoors.
On the gun there are two safety's, the first being the trigger and underneath the barrel there is a unique, silver serial number whixh can slide forwards and backwards to arm or dis-arm the gun.
Overall I would give this gun top marks!!!

Editor's note: This is the first of two columns about the state of radio news. - If you visited American radio newsrooms five or six decades ago, you'd have found many of the century's top journalists on the job, from the great Edward R. Murrow to a couple of no-name rookies named Tom Brokaw and Dan Rather.
With television only in its infancy, everyone turned to radio for breaking news, and it was the best place outside a daily newspaper for an aspiring journalist to get experience.
Not anymore.
In-depth reporting is hard to find on the dial, at least outside of National Public Radio, and it's difficult to imagine any future network anchors starting their careers behind a microphone.
Locally, only two local radio stations have significant news departments —— a third relies on a TV station —— and there hasn't been an all-news station in town for years. It's not clear that one could even survive.
"With the Internet and cable news channels, people have far more choices now," said Cliff Albert, news director at news-talk station KOGO.
Will San Diego ever get an all-news station again? Will radio news budgets keep shrinking? And what does all of this mean for radio's vital commitment to keep the public informed during an emergency?
Look for answers to those questions next week. But first, a quick look at the four main sources for radio news in San Diego, along with advice about where to listen the next time the power goes out or the earth shakes in the middle of the night.
Details: KPBS, an affiliate of National Public Radio, has nine staff members who offer reports —— usually brief —— on weekday mornings and afternoons.
Pros: If you're more interested in hearing about yesterday's City Council vote than last night's baseball score, KPBS is for you. The hourly updates from NPR offer a full five minutes of commercial-free news unless they're cut short by local updates.
Cons: If there's breaking news —— such as, say, an accused child murderer wanders away from the courthouse —— don't turn to KPBS. The station rarely switches away from its regular programming to offer continuous coverage of local news, and there's literally no one at the station at night, when KPBS switches to autopilot and plays classical music. In a disappointing move, the station recently dumped the hourly NPR newscasts at night.
Details: Just about anyone with a radio in San Diego County can pick up the strong signal of KNX/1070 AM, a CBS affiliate based in Los Angeles. With the exception of a couple of talk shows on weekdays and several on weekends, it's all news.
Pros: KNX is like Old Faithful —— reliable, if a bit staid and boring. Many of KNX's anchors sound like they've been reading the news since the Coolidge administration. On the bright side, they sound awfully trustworthy.
Cons: "Computer News With Jeff Levy," a talk show heard on the weekend, is unbearably cheesy, and listeners might not warm to KNX's new style, emphasizing analysis instead of just the headlines. And KNX's San Diego coverage, not surprisingly, is spotty.
Details: This venerable station has skyrocketed up the ratings in the past few years as programmers found a successful blend of conservative talk-show hosts. It offers twice-hourly newscasts but picks up most of its reports from sister station KFMB-TV/Channel 8. At night, Metro Networks —— a local provider of news and traffic —— provides newscasts.
Pros: Like KOGO, KFMB-AM provides live news reports in the middle of the night. They also broadcast traffic reports 24 hours a day.
Cons: KFMB-AM dismantled its news staff in the late 1990s, sacking half of its reporters and assigning the other half to Channel 8. While plenty of TV and radio stations are combining their news operations these days, it's hard to imagine that KFMB-AM is anything more than an afterthought compared with the big shots —— and big money —— at Channel 8.
Details: "The Big One," news-talk station KOGO, dominates the ratings, and its morning news show is one of the most popular programs on the air. It has a staff of about 19.
Pros: With so many anchors and reporters, KOGO is the go-to station when there's a big news story like the wildfires of 2003, and it can provide live coverage to Clear Channel's 12 other stations. Whenever there's an earthquake, it's the first station I tune to (with KNX a close second).
Cons: KOGO's twice-hourly newscasts are chock-full o' commercials, and they can be sensationalistic. Then there's the pesky matter of talk-show host Roger Hedgecock, who sometimes horns in on breaking-news coverage during his show. If a big story is happening, Hedgecock should take the afternoon off and leave the news to the professionals. Stay tuned for more on this topic next week.
