100 Years Ago - April 20, 1912
ISLANDERS were among the many feared dead after the White Star liner, Titanic, sank on its way from Southampton to New York.
More than 1,500 people — at least six from the Island — were feared dead after the vessel crashed against an iceberg about 300 miles off Cape Race, Newfoundland.
At least two men from Ryde were reportedly among the 775 people saved but there was no news of the other passengers from the Island.
Other Islanders reportedly lost relatives who were on board.
Prior to the tragedy, Islanders had watched the Titanic leave Southampton on its maiden voyage.
An East Cowes man was fined for riding a bicycle without a light in York Avenue.
Frank Purser, who was accompanied by another cyclist with a light, told the court he thought one light would be enough for them both.
75 Years Ago - April 24, 1937
The paddle steamer Ryde, built for Southern Railway's service between Portsmouth and Ryde, was launched in Dumbarton, Scotland.
The steamer, which was licensed to carry 1,050 passengers, was to be put into service to coincide with Southern Railway's London to Portsmouth electrification scheme.
The vessel was launched from a shipyard on the River Leven, where it was built by William Denny and Brothers.
East Cowes boatbuilders featured in a film about the construction of lifeboats.
The Strand Film Company visited Groves and Gutteridge to take moving pictures of the construction of National Lifeboat Institution lifeboats for a film about the lifeboat service.
50 Years Ago - April 21, 1962
Trees planted by Queen Victoria were popular with visitors at Osborne House.
The queen and other members of the royal family planted trees to commemorate special, personal and national events.
Many of their plantings, including magnolias and oaks, were still flourishing and were among the main attractions at the house.
There were fears a new electricity sub-station would create a birdcage of wires in Newport.
The sub-station would supply electricity to Newport and Ryde and it would mean 16 overhead wires going into the site.
The proposals were outlined at a meeting of the county planning committee, where some members expressed concern about a birdcage effect.
Hospital staff were unhappy about the salaries paid to nurses.
Members of the Island hospitals branch of the National and Local Government Officers' Association wrote to Island MP Mark Woodnutt, in protest at the low level of nurses' wages.
The letter said nurses were struggling because pay had been frozen but the cost of living had gone up.
Meanwhile, the League of Friends of St Mary's Hospital went ahead with plans to provide a £5,000 chapel.
25 Years Ago - April 24, 1984
Post office officials sent a mailbag containing £200,000 in pay cheques to the wrong address.
A bag of Easter pay cheques for around 2,500 council workers was mistakenly sent to the mainland, which led to a marathon task of reissuing them all.
County treasurer Mr D. A. Tuck found his department besieged by hordes of staff asking where their money was.
The Island owner of an important Constable painting gave the Tate Gallery another chance to raise £3million to add the masterpiece to its collection.
The gallery was £400,000 short of the target after the deadlinefor buying The Opening of Waterloo Bridge.
However, Elizabeth Sheldon, of Freshwater, who offered the painting to the gallery, even though it would fetch more at auction, agreed to extend the deadline by four weeks.
A £5.5 million contract for three new HM Customs and Excise patrol boats was awarded to Cowes-based Fairey Marinteknik.
The 26-metre Protector Class vessels would come into service in 1988 to help fight against drug smuggling around the British coast.
The contract meant at least ten new jobs at the company.
10 Years Ago - April 26, 2002
Vandals caused thousands of pounds damage to part of Ryde's seafront.
The cost of replacing the damaged concrete pathway was at least £5,000 and security was to be stepped up to prevent a repeat of the incident.
Cllr Ernie Fox described those responsible as morons.
The first so-called Beckham and eggs morning drink licence was given to allow England football fans to watch a World Cup match in a bar at 7.30am.
Island magistrates allowed customers of Flanagan's Bar, Sandown, to watch the England game against Nigeria, with alcoholic drinks.
The decision looked set to kick off a number of similar applications.
A new 39ft-high totem pole was surprising visitors at Ventnor Botanic Garden.
The huge pine structure was added to the Americas Collection and represented the west coast of the USA.
Woodcarvers created the pole from a pine felled in the garden and it depicted common creatures in Ventnor, including lizards, foxes and badgers.

Alongside Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman, DC Comics has several second and third-tier heroes; Green Arrow, the Flash, Hawkman, Green Lantern and of course Aquaman. These heroes have their cult following but have never really broken through to the same level of popularity that the trinity of Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman have. In an attempt to raise these characters to their deserved places of recognition, several attempts have been made to revitalize, re-write or replace them outright.
Most recently, writer Geoff Johns has successfully brought Hawkman, the Flash and Green Lantern up to superstar status (Hawkman has since fallen, sadly). In his 'rebirth' comics, Johns not only improved on the past but acknowledged the large body of work that preceded him on these characters.
In an interview last year, when asked what character he'd like to tackle next, Johns indicated that Aquaman was on his radar. The underwater monarch has undergone several revisions in his career but each time his series was canceled and the changes, from a hook hand to a water hand to being a sorcerer squid were undone. These changes were undertaken by some of the best and brightest in the industry, I should point out, from Peter David to Kurt Busiek, yet each time it failed to catch new readers.
Part of the problem, in my opinion, is that these other heroes had strong concepts backing them up while Aquaman was essentially a man who could talk to fish. Either a mutant bred by his father or a mutation of Atlantean genetics, it is unclear what the real point of Aquaman is. Rather than re-interpreting this character, Johns may have to start from scratch or dig deep to find some quality that not only makes Aquaman function but reveals how awesome he is, and always has been.
(check out my earlier article on Aquaman if you are interested in my 25 cents on the character)
Talking to Newsarama, Johns indicated that he envisioned a lighter touch for Aquaman. Given that his Hawkman, Flash and Green Lantern books were predominantly gritty and fierce, this should come as a relief to fans of the character fearful of a gruesome book centered on as brooding lead.
I think that he's the ultimate underdog to me. I think that's a good thing. He's underestimated by everybody, except Mera. Balancing the perception of what Aquaman is, and trying to break that perception, is what the book's all about.
We certainly don't get goofy, but we do have fun with it.
The stakes are real. The Trench are nasty. And the things he faces are really tough, and what he deals with is serious stuff. But at the same time, I didn't want to run away from the perception of him.
I've read a lot of comics with Aquaman in them, and they really go for the throat when trying to make him cool, sometimes. And I think Aquaman is cool. I don't think you have to work that hard to make him cool.
But what you do need to do is address why people don't think he's cool. And just accept that — hey, you're writing an Aquaman comic book.I think that's what I'm trying to do on Ivan and Joe (Prado].
And Ivan and Joe on art — you know how great they are. They bring a big, regal, epic, powerful feel to these characters. And I think that also legitimizes the character.
The goal is to find a good balance, and not run away from everything that people think about Aquaman.
Aquaman is this guy who, on land, he's kind of laughed at. But in the ocean, he's supposed to be the king of this huge underwater society, so there's a weird juxtaposition between those two roles. And he prefers to be on land, and his job is to protect the land from sea and the sea from land. So he's literally caught in the middle of all these things.
I think everyone will be able to relate to Aquaman. I think he's very, very human, because of all that. But he's also admirable because he does step up and take care of business, and he doesn't let what anyone says stop him. He lets it roll right off his back like water.
So I think the character himself, of Arthur Curry, is a very compelling character. It's a very grounded, relatable take on Aquaman. But it will all take place within a struggle against The Trench and other epic backdrop stories as we go forward.
I think that it's interesting Johns is taking the absurdity of Aquaman on board straight away rather than denying it. The short preview (below) is a prime indicator that Aquaman is going to be a heavy hitter, but even so the man on the street still views him as a 'fish out of water.'
As Chief Creative Officer and one of the architects of the new DC, Johns has a lot invested in these creations. Talking to CBR.com, he revealed more details about his vision of the DC Universe and its various heroes. As someone who has revised not only Hawkman, Green Lantern and the Flash but Superman as well, this man knows of what he speaks.
"Justice League" is all about how the world perceives them as icons — but they're people. We get to see the people behind the masks. "Aquaman" is the same way. I want to build these characters up and make them icons, but I want their stories to be big. The best thing about DC is that characters like Green Lantern and Aquaman and Flash have this massive tapestry to paint their stories across. Green Lantern has the whole universe to paint his story across, this big canvas. Flash has all of time and time travel and parallel dimensions and great villains. Aquaman has the oceans and the mysteries of the deep and the fabled city of Atlantis everyone's heard about.
One of the big questions this first year of "Aquaman" is, who sank Atlantis and why did they do it? I think that fits the kind of epic, iconic stuff I want to capture, but at the same time, it really humanizes the character. It's all about humanizing Aquaman and getting into what makes him tick, what he has to deal with, what he's all about and what it's like to be the biggest underdog in the superhero community.
I wager that Johns has been planning this one for some time and am excited to see how it pans out.
Aquaman #1
By Geoff Johns, Ivan Reis and Joe PradoThe superstar creators from BLACKEST NIGHT and BRIGHTEST DAY reunite to take AQUAMAN to amazing new depths!
Aquaman has renounced the throne of Atlantis – but the sea will not release Arthur Curry so easily.
Now, from a forgotten corner of the ocean emerges… The Trench! A broken race of creatures that should not exist, an unspeakable need driving them, The Trench will be the most talked-about new characters in the DC Universe!

Seriously, take it! I'm giving you my heart…
In celebration of a fresh start, healing heart, 2 000 visits and National Woman's Day I've decided to run another competition – and give one lucky reader a beautiful TW 'African Experience' heart pendant (entry details below).
TW Ceramics is the artistic work of Theresa Wormser, who lives and works in Kommetjie (over the cliff and past the lighthouse from my little village). How is this for uncanny: I met her yesterday, we got chatting and we realized Pa Nguni was her lecturer when she studied at Maties! What a small world. Thing about having a name like mine, it kinda sticks. That – and the jaw.
In another weird twist of fate, I became acquainted with her work at Villa Rose in Robertson – on my birthday while his royal high and mightiness, Duke D. Nile, on a 90 minute conference call in the loyal nursery left yours truly to go off in search of adventure alone. I fell in love with the beautiful heart pendants immediately and the lovely owner Laura told me their creator came from Kommetjie. Something stopped me buying one – most probably because I was heart-sore and don't want a permanent reminder of that hanging around my neck.
Theresa started TW Ceramics to create jobs as well as an exclusive range of functional art – an upmarket, refined and stylish alternative to the famous (expensive, impractical and utterly over the top) Ardmore. Earthy textures and neutral tones compliment any interior and add a little African flair – I love the eccentric teapots – enough to turn any afternoon into a magical Madhatter's Tea Party! Visit the site to view the range or call Theresa on 078 169 0338 to arrange to visit to the studio.
And now… drum roll please!

Defining the "New Professional"
At this year's Aspen Ideas Festival, we were pleased to host a Knowledge Exchange panel exploring the idea of "the new professional." Our moderator Heidi Moore, New York bureau chief and Wall Street correspondent for American Public Media's "Marketplace" led the discussion. The conversation focused on changing values, skills, and the continuous need for individuals and companies to adapt. Reid Hoffman, co-founder and executive chairman of LinkedIn, stressed the need for professionals to be more self directed and take "responsibility for their own evolution." He talked about adaptability being the new stability. He was joined on the panel with Deirdre Stanley, executive vice president and general counsel for Thomson Reuters, Mark Penn, worldwide CEO of Burson-Marsteller and Susan Peters, vice president of executive development and chief learning officer for General Electric Company.
Three big themes emerged. Technology and the reliance of networks and communities for information, distributed teams that bring multiple cultures and diverse thought together, and the true value of this new professional class emerging in terms of our ability to problem solve, interpret data and put into context.

The wise men came to Jerusalem looking for "He who has been born King of the Jews." That was the title given to Herod the Great by the Roman Senate. Being the evil, barbaric ruler that he was, Herod did all he could to prevent the real King from coming to power, including killing all the males in Bethlehem under two years of age. The Wise Men came to worship Jesus but Herod and the Jewish leaders refused. Pastor Greg tells the whole story and offers some timely applications that we can make to our lives today.

"You were awesome, Vinyl!" I exclaimed, trotting through the door.
"Really? That was B-Tier at best." she joked.
"You're way too modest." I told her in confidence.
"I actually have something to tell you." I said, nervously trying to work my way up to telling her how I felt.
"Yeah, sure. What is-" she was interrupted by the phone ringing in the kitchen. "Lemme go get this real quick. Be right back!" she called, trotting for the kitchen.
I heard her talking on the phone from here. I took this as a chance to psych myself out of feeling nervous. I slumped down on the couch with a heaving sigh.
This is gonna be harder than I thought. I admitted to myself.
"Really?" I heard Vinyl say from the kitchen. "Yeah, of course! Anything for a friend." she almost seemed to choke out the word friend, like it was painful.
"Alright! See ya then, bye." she said.
"Who was that?" I asked, as calmly as possible.
"Oh, that was my friend Octavia." she said, choking on friend again. That got me really thinking.
"You seem to not like that word in her context. Friend." I wondered. She cringed at friend. What the hell?
"Uh, yeah... About that... I was a bit of a filly-fooler in my college days. She was my marefriend from freshman to senior year. When we parted ways, things got hard. We fought a lot, and eventually she ended it. We started talking again, and we're friends again." she explained sadly. "Well, the Canterlot orchestra went on hiatus and she's moving down here for the time being. To tell the truth, I'm still not really over her yet." she said broodingly.
"I'm sorry that happened." I empathized. "But it's good you two are still friends." I managed a weak smile. "God knows, I could never be friends with my ex." I joked.
She laughed weakly. "So, what is it you wanted to tell me?" she asked with new found vigor.
"I uh... Wanted to... You know what? Never mind, it's not that important anyways." I mustered.
I can't. Bucking. Believe this.
I said as I covered my eyes with my hooves in frustration.
What do I do about this?
We waited at the train station for an hour. My hooves ached from standing so much. "Is she gonna be here any time soon? Or ever?" I asked, frustrated.
"Have some patience, dude. She'll be here any minute." almost like she was The Great and Powerful Trixie and summoned the train, it came.
"Well, that had good timing." I said. The second I saw her, I knew who she was. I recognized her from the background of some of the episodes.
That's her name! I thought.
"Vinyl! My darling, how are you?" she exclaimed, giving her two pecks on the cheeks all fancy-like.
Ugh. Just how I thought she'd be...
"And might I know your name?" she asked, looking up at me.
"I'm uh... River. River Flow." I told her, somewhat distracted.
"Vinyl, be a dear and grab my suitcase?" she asked her. That reminded me of Atlas from Bioshock. 'Would you kindly?' Creepy.
As we were walking back to Vinyl's house, Octavia brought up a weird subject. "So, Vinyl. Are you seeing anyone?" she asked in that snooty way she speaks.
"Oh, no! Nope, I'm totally single. Single and out there." she said, almost nervously.
"Good, good." she muttered.
What the hell?
"What about you, River? Seeing anyone special?" she asked.
"No." I said sternly.
"Wouldn't you like to be?" she asked, slightly bobbing her head toward Vinyl.
"Oh, I guess. No hurry, though." I said, uncomfortable at Octavia's close proximity.
Then I took the offensive. "Are you seeing anyone, Octavia?" I asked.
"Oh, I had a few stallions in Canterlot wrapped around my hoof, but nothing major." she said with a laugh.
I despised the way she spoke. I couldn't quite figure why. It seemed kind of ominous and daunting. Very passive aggressive. My ears had fits every time she said something. To be honest, she scared the living shit out of me.
I woke up the next morning, and I was me again. I was human. My room was pitch black. I reached my hands out to find a light switch. I thought I found one. When I grabbed it to turn it on, it played a harsh note. It almost sounded like... A cello. Lights flared on above me and Octavia's head swirled around me, laughing. Then Vinyl's head started too. I was freaking out. A trap door in the floor opened below me and I fell into the black depth of my own mind.
"AHH!!" I screamed.
I shot up to a complete ninety degree angle in my bed. I was sweating profusely. My heart raced and my breath was shaky. I raised my arms in front of my eyes. Still hooves. I let out a sigh of relief. I slipped on my robe and went down the stairs. I came down to find Octavia sitting on the couch. Not watching TV, not drinking coffee or anything, just sitting. She tilted her head so she was looking straight at me. Her eyes seemed to bear deep into my inner. Not like Twilight's eyes, which were bright and innocent. Octavia's eyes held a certain dark air. They may have been a bright color, but they had dark intent.
"Hey, Octavia." I said, cautiously.
"Hello, River." she said, smirking.
"Whatcha smiling about?" I asked.
"You like Vinyl, don't you River?" she asked, accusingly.
I was surprised by the sudden change in conversation.
"Would you even say you - loved her?" she asked, creeping closer.
"Yeah. I guess you could say that." I said, growing more and more wary of what she was getting at.
"Well isn't that too bad?" she said, condescendingly sad. "You see, River, I know Vinyl better than anypony else. I can please her better than anypony else." she said, creeping closer to me with each word. I backed away, but she continued after me.
"There's no way you could ever mean more to her than I do. I am her everything, and I intend to keep it that way. So, in Layman's terms, back off of Vinyl, or we're going to have a very serious problem. Any questions?" she said.
"Yooouu... DENSE motherfucker." I said horrified that my suspicions were true. "You're regretting that you dumped her aren't you?" I accused. Before she had a chance to defend herself, I continued. "You're jealous that she's moved on." I lied, hoping she wouldn't see through it.
"Oh, please. I have Vinyl wrapped around my hoof. I basically own her." she said smugly.
"Vinyl is not your property, you bitch." I almost yelled softly. "If you ever do anything to hurt her, we're going to have a very serious problem. Are we clear? Do you have any questions? Good." I said, feeling powerful.
"Crystal clear, Mr. Flow. Crystal clear..." she almost sang to herself. Relatively beautiful on the outside, a fucking monster on the inside.
"You sicken me, Octavia." I told her.
"And you sicken me as well, River."

This chapter was the lovechild of Apple Jacks , midnight, and intermittent 4chan breaks. Hope you enjoy!
Now that was a really good one. Octavia being a creeper, is funny. Let's just say I didn't see it coming that way. Congratulations, now I'm REALLY interested how it continues
Dude wow. I'm sorry that you like Vinyl and all, but for me being an Octavia fan you anger me. Like a stab in the heart twenty times. Octavia is a Lady, not a psycho possessive pony. I am gonna stop reading this fimfic, but I hope you don't make another one story of her being a total duche. Love the first few chapters though
Very interesting read, but it does happen to have a few mistakes. First, the read is really short, it goes by too fast because you don't have really anything in there to stall or prolong the story. Of course since it is such a short story, it doesn't really have anything to take your mind off the topic at all. It is good to have a few things to side tract the reader for the main topic to add some spice to the subject. Also, another big thing that I have to point out is you need to understand more about the characters you are writing about. For example, the comment above is correct, you made Octavia seem like this classy, yet spoiled and possessive pony over Vinyl. Octavia is some what similar to Rarity in a way. She is sophisticated and classy, but even with disinterest in subjects or things that some ponies do, she toughens up and just deals with it. She may get snooty once in awhile, but she doesn't reach the point that she seems like she is threatening one's actions. Now if Tavi and Vinyl were together, and it seemed that she was on the verge of losing her, it would make sense that she would get extreme to protect Vinyl, but you have seemed to have made her look really rude instead of protective, if that was your intention.
Very interesting read, just make the chapters longer by adding in side chats or unnecessary events. Understand your character's personalities better, and if you do, figure out what to say and how to say it because each line they say can express their personality in a different way than you want it to. So just know when to put certain lines when they are needed. Otherwise, keep up the good work.
>>855399 I don't know why you'd stop reading it because a pony you like has a different side to them. I mean, nopony's perfect and I have plans to show that in all the ponies in this story. But it's your choice I'm not gonna get angry cause you didn't like it.
its a twist on octavias being but for the sake of this story im kinda liking it.

The Corsair's Closet
Costuming – on the radio? That even works?
You bet it does! Join costumers and fan grrlz Time Siren and Madwoman with a Box each Wednesday at 4PM Pacific Time to immerse yourself in Doctor Who, cosplay, and everything timey wimey.
Follow along with us as we blather on. Help is at hand to make sense of what in the worlds we are saying when you go to our show notes in the Corsair's Closet here.
Missed the show this week? Your salvation awaits Fridays at 5PM Pacific Time when we air an encore presentation of this week's episode.
If you missed both air times, all is not lost: just get timey wimey – download episodes from the past using the links below.
The Corsair's Closet 1.15 and S1E14 Agree to Disagree 11/9/12 This week we squee about creating the video for Krypton Radio's kickstarter campaign which is currently underway and you should check out 'cause they are AWESOME and put us on the air along with other great, geeky music and podcasts! It's also time for NaNoWriMo updates from our local writers (which is like, nearly ALL of us!), oooing over hot boy podcasters and embarrassing our station manager Gene 'cause he's cute when he's shy in front of the camera. The Corsair's Closet 1.14 and S1E13 Mutual Admiration Society 10/30/12 The Terrible Trio of fangirls continue their aural assault on your ears as we wrap up our reviews on the cool shows on the CW et al and talk about our chronic peyote bead habit, but most of all, batten down the figurative hatches in preparation for the writing juggernaut of the year that is the at once loved and dreaded - the month of NaNoWriMo! It's a Mutual Admiration Society day in The Closet. The Corsair's Closet 1.13 and S1E12 Its a Fan Girl Life for Us! 10/23/12 So, what are the Girls in the Closet up to these days? They're talkin' bead stitches, yakking about Loscon and Gallifrey One, panicking over undone cosplays and looming convention deadlines and putting action figures down their, uh bras. Hey, it's just another day in The Closet and It's a Fan Girl's Life for Us! The Corsair's Closet 1.12 A Closet Endeavour 10/16/12 Our regularly scheduled assortment of nonsense got hijacked as some git at California Science Center gets the pink slip of ownership to Endeavour and decides to drive a bloody shuttle through south central L.A. How could we possibly turn down an opportunity to cover this?!? Listen to the mostly rambly but occasionally useful infocast here. The Corsair's Closet 1.11 and S1E10 Bye Bye Ponds A Season 7 Retrospective 10/10/12 The first part of 2012's season took so long to get here and now it's over so fast! We get the gang together (along with just a dash of testosterone) for a rousing, thoughtful discussion and to say Bye Bye Ponds: A Season 7 Retrospective. The Corsair's Closet 1.10 & S1E9 Comikaze Interviews 10/5/12 The reason for Madwoman's madness is nigh. We push through the "I interviewed Lou Ferrigno!" barrier in her poor brain to discover the cause of the insanity that was Comikaze. Interviewees include Daphne Ashbrook, Claudia Christian, Lou Ferrigno, Julie Newmar and Tara Strong. Listen to the end past the Thank and Blame segment to hear the funny and awesome Krypton Radio station i.d.s. It's worth it to hear Tara do the voices of Raven one second then Bubbles the next. Listen to the full podcast here. Comikaze Con L.A. interviews with Daphne Ashbrook, Claudia Christian, Lou Ferrigno, Julie Newmar & Tara Strong. The Corsair's Closet 1.9 & S1E8 Lou Know Who 9/26/12 We went to Comikaze and didn't even get any stupid t-shirts, BUT we did get some squeetacular interviews with some amazing guests. Unfortunately, Madwoman's brain broke when she interviewed Lou Ferrigno and all she can babble now is, "I interviewed Lou Ferrigno!". Listen in, but don't dare mention, Lou Know Who. S1E7 In Memorium and News 9/19/12 We tone the Squees down to honor the memories of Neil Armstrong & Michael Clarke Duncan. S1E6 Villainous Lair 1 year anniversary interview with Sarah and Cliff 9/12/12 Interviews with owner Sarah and resident Happy Camper gaming geek Cliff. S1E5 Villainous Lair 1 year anniversary 9/5/12 Interviews with Pathfinder San Diego rep. Patrick Harris and stores owner Chris Mitchell. S1E4 Five Eleven 8/29/12 This episode is brought to you by the numbers ELEVEN and FIVE. It was supposed to be our 5th Krypton Radio episode, but it snuck out of the Closet via a black hole and showed up a week early.
The normally level-headed Time Siren needs mopping up off the floor as our intrepid fan girls Squee! about their new 11th Doctor figure's arrival and the fair-haired cricketing Time Lord of the classic series.S1E3 The "Marciacast" Interview with Published Author @neowhovian 8/22/12 We interview our first special guest! You may know her as the Neowhovian, but to us, Marcia Franklin is so much more. Want to know just how much? Tune in for our interview with this blogging dynamo and, *gasp* published author! Guess which half of the interview team wants to be her when she grows up? ;p S1E2 Doctor Hulk 8/15/12 DOCTOR HULK, aka...The Corsair's Closet. HULK SAYS GO LISTEN!! S1E1 Krypton Radio premiere 8/8/12 Our premiere descent into the madness that is The Corsair's Closet. Here we Squee! about everything Timey Wimey, Cosplay-ish and Pop Culture Fan Creativity!

If God was an artist, Shay Maria would be his masterpiece. Yes, I threw this post into the art category because of her. DON'T JUDGE ME. I just wanted to make this post because Shay Maria was in the pictures. She's one of my favorite streetwear models ever. If you don't see why, there's something wrong with you. I mean, its obviously because of her talent. To. Model. I think the last thing I remember her doing was being the model for one of The Hundreds from last season or the season before.
Oh yeah, I guess I should talk about this too. I mean, its the whole reason why she took these photos. 9Five got model Shay Maria to model their new Spring 2012 Eyewear Collection. The photoshoot was done by Danny Steezy and shows all their new sunglasses for this season. The collection should be in retailers now.

well I didn't pick up an NES till pretty late in its life cycle and i never really took to my sisters hand me down 2600 so through the late 80's and early 90's I relied on my C64 for gameing goodness. My dad didn't live with me and my mom but I was always excited to visit on some weekends because he had an Amiga 500 which I thought blew my C64 out of the water.
Anyways, between my moms house and my dads was the delapidated and dying urban center of Brownsville, PA. back in the late 80's it was pretty much as dead as it is now, but it did hold one glorious treasure. that treasure was a small VHS rental/pc gameing store that I could never remember the name of. every few months i managed to talk my dad into makeing the slight detour and takeing me there.
It was a small shop down by the river, acually I think it was a house with the downstairs converted to a shop. when you first entered it was your standard fair 80's VHS rental shop. the owner was the typical chubby "comic book" store looking guy. in one small corner of the shop was a wall of a few brand new PC games, C64, amiga, apple ect.. marked at $40 and up. Of course my dad was far to cheap to buy me a brand new game. but thats where the real magic of the place came in. in a small room next to the main room was a dedicated computer room. I don't know maybe this was acually common for these places back then but its the first time I ever seen anything like this. the room was lined with multipal Amigas, C64's, Apples, and various other popular computers of the time. the owner had several sons who basicly ran this room. there were a TON of games (copies) in those floppy holder cases. I remember spending hours just flipping through those floppies and trying so many games out. I loved that place and always threw a fit whenever my dad was ready to leave, in retrospect though I think he was more then generous with the time he let me hang out there.
So whenever I would find a game I enjoyed i would add it to a pile which he sold for i beleive something like 50 cents to a few dollers eatch. I remember being stuck on maniac mansion and on my next visit I told this to one of the sons. on hearing about me being stuck in the game he loaded it up and played through the whole game for me, showing me how to get through it.
That store has some of my fondest and earliest gameing memories. sometimes I still wonder if the place is still around as its been well over 10 years since I visited. I'm sure it would never of survived in any form through the changes in the industry and the general decay of Brownsville but every once in awhile I get the urge to brave the streets and try to retrace my scetchy childhood memories to that beloved place.
or I suppose I could just ask my dad about it...but wheres the challenge and mystery in that?

I bought mass effect 2 today and realize that you need psn to get the comic that allows you to make all previous choices from the first game.
Since im on 3.41 jailbreak i cant get on psn. It sucks cause i played the first and want to make the same choices as i did then. now i am stuck with default story which blows.
Is it possible for someone to download the comic and turn it into a .pkg file or something that i can install like DLC or a game update to allow me access to the comic?
any help is appreciated.

Targhee Street Fire
At 1:15 PM on December 31, 2008, the
Spirit Lake
, and
Northern Lakes Fire Districts
were dispatched to a reported structure fire on Targhee Street in Athol. The fire was reported by a Panhandle Waste truck driver who saw black smoke coming out of a 2nd floor window. The fire consumed a live Christmas tree but was kept small due to a leak in the home's plastic water line - acting like a residential fire sprinkler system. Fire crews searched the structure and quickly extinguished the reamining fire.
Three weeks before the fire, the homeowners repaired a water line but left the hole in the ceiling with plans to patch it after the holidays. If the water line had not broken, the fire would have consumed much more of the home. Although it took approximately 30 minutes to shut off the water from the street, water damage was minimal with most of it draining to the crawlspace from a nearby access hole. The homeowners plan to install a residential sprinkler system and fire alarm system in the future.
No one was home at the time of the fire and there were no injuries. The cause of the fire is under investigation by Chief Krill and Deputy State Fire Marshall Mark Aamodt.

It is with great pleasure that we announce the re-launch of Wycombe High School on Just Giving. JustGiving helps ordinary people raise extraordinary amounts of funds. Now any student, parent, member of staff or alumnae can fundraise for the 'Play Your Part' Campaign to develop and new Music Centre for the school and wider community. The 'Play Your Part' campaign calls on everybody in our school community to use their many talents and skills in order to raise these funds. We have three campaigns going so far…
In a moment of sheer brilliance (or madness, you decide!), the Music Department at Wycombe High School decided to present the staff and friends of WHS with a challenge; to learn a new instrument and pass a Grade One exam in six months. Participants were sponsored to raise money for the 'Play Your Part' campaign to raise £1 million to build a new Music block and upgrade our Performing Arts facilities in other parts of the school, work that is desperately needed. Together they raised over £12K reaching 127% of their target! Not only that, but each of the participants passed - many with merits and distinctions. A fabulous effort by all.
Steve Roy, Father of Megan 8C B3 and President of the Play Your Part Development Board, ran the Bisham half marathon raising over £700.
James Campanini, Father of Emily in 8E P4 and Vice President of the Play Your Part Development Board, cycled from Lands End to John O'Groats – that is from the very bottom to the very top of the United Kingdom – give or take, about a thousand miles raising over £3K.
It's up to all of us to amaze and inspire others to find ways to fundraise for Wycombe High School. And it couldn't be easier; just log onto Wycombe High School's JustGiving website and make a free online fundraising page in minutes then e-mail it to friends and family. They can donate online easily and safely with a credit/debit card. The money goes straight to the Wycombe High School Fund. If you're not up for a personal challenge yourself there are plenty of campaigns to support. Please dig deep and support our fundraisers. All funds will go towards 'Play Your Part'.
You can also text a donation to 70070 followed by the code PLYP12 and the amount of money you'd like to give (£1, £2, £2, £4, £5 or £10). You will then receive a text message receipt and the chance to add Gift Aid (by filling in a web form or by text message).

Racer X Rapid ReaXtion: Dungey is Out
Friday, March 9, 2012 | 4:40 PM
NOOOO!!!!!!!! Not only is this Dungey injury a huge blow to the series, it's a huge blow to myself because, if you're wondering, I WAS THE ONE WHO WROTE BENCH RACING AMMO LAST WEEK ABOUT DUNGEY NEVER MISSING A RACE DUE TO INJURY!
As soon as that story posted, I got a text from a friend saying, "You just jinxed the sh&t out of Dungey." Well, jinxing is ridiculous and not true and if some hack writer like myself has that kind of power over the health of other human beings, well, I should be in a different field. Imagine the things I could do with this power of "jinxing." World domination! Give me all of your money or I'll get you injured!
(And if you really want to source out your jinxing, give it to ESPN.com's BJ Smith, who penned a story about Kevin Windham's 200th race in Atlanta and mentioned Dungey never missing a SX main since entering the class full time. It's that story that prompted us to look beyond into Dungey's Lites SX career and write last week's article. So I guess this one is on Windham.)
Seriously, though, it is strange to see the two of the most consistent riders this sport has ever seen, Chad Reed and Ryan Dungey, go out with injuries within about a week of each other. This will immediately spark thoughts of why so many riders are getting hurt, but remember, the same guys made it through the entire season last year, and we can't possibly say that the tracks/bikes/speed/safety gear has changed that much in one year. And for all of the neck-braces-break-collarbones conspiracy theorists, let it be known that Dungey no longer wears one. He busted his collarbone the same way folks were doing it back in the 1970s: by crashing. It happens.
Meanwhile the only thing I am bummed on: reporter's instincts. I watched Dungey like a hawk last weekend in St. Louis, even standing around the corner from the KTM truck for 20 minutes in the morning while he sat on his bike an adjusted the levers. You could tell he was testing his shoulder's range of motion while sitting on the bike, but the shoulder seemed to be in good shape. And he looked fine every time he was on the track, including his great main event ride for second. Then I talked to Dungey for quite awhile after the race, and he was hanging with friends and family and team folks without any sign of pain. Everything seemed fine. No emergencies. No cause for alarm. But even at that, I should have known things could get worse after logging three practices a heat race and 20 laps. Especially when you're next faced with the roughest supercross of them all at Daytona.
Believe in jinxing and everything else all you want. Dungey's injury really just shows the randomness of the sport. Which either means Ryan Villopoto is due up next for bad luck and James Stewart will pull off the greatest comeback in the history of the sport, or, it means absolutely nothing. I say Villopoto will shrug off all questions about "backing it down" and will try to just keep doing what he has been doing all along. The dude isn't going to hand Stewart or anybody else a bunch of wins just to protect the points lead. He'd probably rather not even acknowledge the points. Why? He doesn't even want to face the whole idea of jinxing himself!
Steve Matthes:
I had heard that Red Bull KTM's Ryan Dungey had a crack in his collarbone and got a plate put in earlier this week but honestly, I always just thought he'd be racing this weekend in Daytona. You don't get to be a multi-time champion like Dungey by not fighting through some adversity and not being a tough guy. In the end though, when the PR dropped this afternoon, even the toughest guys can't do the impossible. Not to mention that Daytona is the worst supercross track to try and race with a shoulder joint/collarbone.
His practice crash the week before St. Louis was a gnarly one I had heard through people that are around the KTM camp and he was lucky to make it to St. Louis. And Ryan racing and getting second at St. Louis is again, a testament to his toughness.
Coming off an epic 2011, this definitely isn't what the series itself needs. The injury to Dungey just piles up alongside the pains of Chad Reed, Trey Canard, Ryan Morais, Austin Stroupe, Michael Byrne and many others and makes for a less interesting race no doubt. It's Kawasaki's Ryan Villopoto's title to lose at this point and even a James Stewart re-birth and return to dominance isn't going to stop that fact. He's too many points down. Not too mention I highly doubt at this point he's just going to start whupping up on RV every single week.
No matter how long Dungey is out (the PR didn't say) in many ways, Ryan's debut season on the KTM has been successful and he's proved the skeptics (of which I was one) that said he couldn't take an all-new bike and win this much, this fast wrong. He's been his usual very fast, steady self whether the color under him is yellow or orange and that right there, is a victory for Ryan and KTM. Let's hope we see him back soon.
Chase Stallo:
When news broke earlier today that Dungey would be out for Daytona it wasn't that big of a shock. I had spoken to a source earlier this week that told me, "Don't be surprised to see something on Friday that Dungey is out for Daytona." Well that little birdie hit the nail on the head.
It's another devastating injury—in an already injury ravished year—and a big blow to the series, unless Stewart can get his act together and begin to challenge for wins. Instead of sugar coating this to death, I will leave you with these four words: It's over. Congrats RV!

This really sucks, he was the only guy left who can concistantly run with RV. Stewart isnt going to catch him in a million years.. Maybe a win here or there but nothing serious. Heres hoping Dungey will make Indianapolis next week..
Such a Bummer. I can't believe how tough Ryan is to have ridden the race last week with a collar bone injury and too have finished second. Is this guy inhuman or what. Hope he get's well soon. The bummer is what this will do to the Series unless JS steps up and gives RV some competition. Are we going to witness 12 second runaways for the remainder of the year. I hope not. Come on JS make this interesting. Roger
He can still make Indy and still keep his second in points alive, ANYTHING can happen
Racing a SX 10 days after getting your collarbone plated would be "manning up".
from the best season to the worst. Dang it man RD was the only one making it worthwhile to watch. Brayton and JS need to step it up. I will say tho my pick for Daytona is JS7 and not bcoz Dungey is out but Stewart has always been crazy there.
Huh? It's over?
I remember RV not making a main. I remember him crashing his brains out and breaking a leg to end his season.
I remember all kinds of bad stuff happening at inopportune moments.
It's never over, til it's over.
Im pretty sure RV is all smiles like " I got this one in the bag". And what sucks is when JS7 wins or brayton pple are always gonna say its bcoz RV backed down. This means we are gonna have a new guy make the podium for the first time almost each week. Now if RV and JS happen to be out then may be it would be a good season of first timers
With Reed, Canard and now Dungey out of the series Stewart will be on the podiumall the time now and everyone will say the bike is better now and hes riding better, not the fact that 3 of the top guys are out of it.
RV now has a 50 something point lead and wont risk anything to jeopardize it, He has nothing to gain by racing Stewart for the win, and I dont see RV getting caught up in that either, But Stewart will beleive he is the man again and so will the media you just watch.
Someone did say last week after the Dungey Ammo article about not missing races. ... " WAY TO GO WEEGE....HOPE YOU DIDNT JINX DUNGEY....What a bummer, never want too see anyone go out with injury...glad its fairly minor for what thats worth.....I wonder if they will just let it heal 100% or risk coming back too early for 2nd place points in series....RV , considering any catastrophe will be 1 or 2 this week and +30 some points over RD.....
The weird thing this year is , aside from the last 2 laps at San Diego and the first laps of Dallas before the Reed crash, there hasnt been much of a battle for the front spot between any of these guys....there has not been a RV & RD battle this year and they have spent most races spaced pretty far apart.....all these guys have had very close lap times including James.....But as some guys say on here, staying up and staying healthy is part of it all.....we have seen Dungey in the past have guys go out due to injury and now this time its him unfortunately.....Heal up for the outdoors Dungey....let that thing heal right....
Well now I wonder when Ryan heals up will he, race the last couple races or just wait for the outdoors and spend the time testing the KTM..
@biker143... Villopoto isn't going to just let Stewart win... that's not how he's wired, buddy. Villo could have pushed less in earlier races (because he still had a big points lead), but what did he do? He still charged - HARD. Villo wants to be the fastest in the world, and to beat the best at EVERY SX race. If Stewart beats him (like in Oakland), it will be because Stewie (or whoever else wins) deserves it.
Crazy how things come full circle......Now if JS were to win this weekend and or even get 2nd.....all we will hear next week is " its because Dungey was not there"......the same thing folks debated about while Dungey was winning in 2010..." thats because Reed and Stewart were not there "......so now what.....Was RV "gifted" this title if he does bring it home......Is this going to be a " Dungey would have won had he not broke his collarbone" saga.....Crashing sucks.....and even worse is injury.....ironic the 2 men with the most crashes and injuries recent years (RV and James) are the 2 left standing at the half way point while the "Mr. Consistents" are on the side lines.....again...crazy how things come full circle....Heal up Dungey!!!
So will they put an asterik next to RV's name if he wins this championsip because the main guys got hurt? That was done to Dungey and Reed when they won thier's. RV was one of the guys talking down about Dungey's championships.
Alpinestar22, keep telling yourself that " Buddy "
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO This SUCKS!!!!
.I have said it before anyone can cash and get hurt. RacerX just did the story too...BAD LUCK... You will be missed RD.
KilloMoto ... NO way the "Dungey would have won had he not broke his collarbone" or RV got lucky" will work crap cuz NO ONE proved 9 races in that they could Beat RV unless he got a bad start.So they will not fly at all. When RD won in 2010 CR and JS were done after the 2nd round and RV was way off so RD got questioned but I don't see how anyone could question this one on RV.
It;'s funny too how a Team Like KTM FINALY gets a Top guy, a guy who NEVER gets hurt and BAM he gets hurt... man This stinks.
I would like to see some data of the guys that made the switch to KTM and have been injured. Was hoping with the linkage Dungey could escape the curse.
I don't think you have to look very far to see why so many guys are getting hurt. First off it seems todays tracks are being built for the spectator, which yea, it's a form of entertainment and should provide excitement to generate sales but are they starting to push the envelope? especially for what some of these guys are being paid to perform (privateers). Second, the bikes these guys are riding and the technical advances they have made in this field allows these riders the ability to do things and reach speeds that really put them at risk. Not sure how ya back things down.
Wonder if KTM has one of the 250 guys coming up to ride with the big boys?? God bless you RD5. It's been a heck of a run.
First Reed was running considerable slower then RV in qualifying and in the race up until San Diego where he picked up his pace. Then in Texas he really picked it up and was fast qualifier, suddenly his big crash.
Next came RD with his qualifying and race times way off plus he was horrible in San Diego. Then he picks up the pace and goes down pushing it harder.
This is not guess work but stop watch facts!
While RV keeps running those fast times consistently even lap after lap in qualifying he stays up. So the real JINX is RV with his speed so those trying to match will indeed pay a high price.
I wonder if JS7 will try to take RV down in order to catch up in the points?
Hey Verge,
What asterisk in the record book!?!, what kind of person would even think that about any SX Champion, are you really a fan of this sport or just here to troll?
The KTM curse : {
I agree with Claxton, it's the same thing as when Stewart would crash or win. Everyone would say that if he didn't crash he would have won, but really it was just him pushing it too hard to go fast enough to win. He was just willing to push it past what his skill allowed.
Damn you man above!! Why must you hate on Dungey!? He always mentions you in his podium interviews! Ok, so he mentions each of his sponsors first... and his girl friend .. mom and dad.. and his underwear .. and sometimes Santa Claus but then he always thanks the man above if he still has time left .. and if Erin Bates doesn't interrupt with some idiotic question.. which is always.. damn she's annoying. You should break HER collar bone!
Claxton....dude wipe your chin will you. You got RV's unborn all over it
verge are you stupid or what? first of all i dont recall rv talking trash on rd 2010 championship and even if he did he would have been right when rd won in 2010 there was nobody in the class no js no cr and rv was stealing the championship before he got hurt he had a lot of momentum in wins and chad reed won his first because rc wasnt there so shut the f....k up and learn the history of the sport before you make a stupid comment like that, rv won the 2011 championship with everybody there all year long and this year he is way better he proved that he is the new sheriff and the new fmotp this year so far he has more wins than everyone else even with all the guys wins combined he has more so please get your stats before posting a comment like that
I am so sorry Rd is hurt, I am a RV fan but to read some of the bull on here I just laugh. RV won last year by riding as hard as he could and was doing better this year but still not dominating. He has NEVER been playing the system and has to ride his best to win. Get well soon and go RV
There are almost 2 months of SX racing left. He isn't going to miss the rest of the races, it sounds like it is a crack (not complete break) and plating it was decided on to allow him to ride sooner. I wouldn't be surprised if he is back at the next race. But I think at MOST he will miss 3 races.
I wonder about the Honda Curse. Seems to me more riders have been hurt on the Honda;a than any other brand over the last 7 years. Don't bring the KTM to blame dumb ass. KTM S HAVE MORE OFF ROAD DIRT TITLE OVER THE LAST TEN YEARS THAN ALL OF THE OTHER BRANDS COMBINED
Verge...........spot on man. Lots of people did the same to RD when he won it, some that just posted on here. Wow broken collar bone and still got 2nd and reeled RV in!
skycooper, I beg to differ on the tracks this year "pushing the envelope." From what I've seen as a spectator, they are much less technical than they have been in previous years.
From RV himself:
"I just want to say with RD out does not mean its over yet there's a lot of racing left and that means I need to stay focused!"
Well this pretty much sucks?s
So does that mean that he raced last weekend with a Broken collar bone? If so, thats a pretty tough dude.
if someone already said oh well, didn't bother reading any posts
@dgizzy1: You may want to go back in the OR because that "Frontal Lobotomy" surgery you just had, well it definitely took. Maybe it's not too late to have it reversed. If you had a (mind) to.
Dial 911, Quick!
RV proved last year he was the best in the world when he won the most competitive sx title ever while everyone was healthy. Then he won the outdoors with Dungey and Reed at their best. Then he smoked everyone in the world at MXON and came back and won a million clams!!! RV is the best SX/MX rider in the world right now period!!!! Anytime the pressure is on and he needs a win he kills it! Also he has been the fastest at every race and when it looked like Reed was going to challenge him look what happened. Last week everyone was saying Dungey has his speed and look what happened. Anyone trying to run RVs speed is getting hurt. RV has won 5 of the first 9 races, Anyone who thinks RV wasn't in control of this championship is kidding themselves.
@caseypons Light'n-up. dgizzy1's idea of young-guns running up front is good entertainment/good for racing.
A supercross championship is rewarded for getting the most points over the course of xx amount of races...If you finished 3rd every race, and at the end of the year you had more points then the guy who won 10 races and missed the podium cple times, you would win the title...there is not astrisk...Constistancy is as important in a series as winning is...that is why there is more than one race ...I dont think RD fell from trying to run a pace over his head, he has shown he can be within a few tenths of RV and not be on the edge..probally just made a mistake, if you ride a mx bike at some point your gonna fall, ...As for the RD needing to be more aggessive passing ...I disagree ...he takes time makes smart passes, not wanting to risk fall...especially in the early stages where a fall will lose you alot of spots.and points...he needs to pass quicker ..there are many paths up the mountain to a championship...you take the path that suits your style the best.. that is why I call Villopoto the Firecracker, he's explosive and rides close to the edge, wins alot with an exciting style that draws fans...Dungey, the Locomotive, is steady, builds speed thru the race, rarely rides the edge, his goal is championship and if the wins come, bonus...consistancy is his path to a title....but this is moto and ..it happens.....Heal up RD...your a champion ...and #1 to your fans....
RV I am sorry to say but I am about to put this little * beside your championship.
Bahaha. I am just joking. I believe everyone earns their championships. Just know it will piss people off.
Trey, Reed and now the ironman. Spank my azz & call me Charlie. All thats left is for Stewart to try a triple back flip with a full twist over a triple. No offense to RV but his speed this year makes Payton smile and the fans yawn. Only chance we have at a race is if Stewie and RV can mimick some of the great battles of old. Looks like I picked the wrong year to quit drinking. Of course Dub could podium, that would make up for it. Come on LaRocket, get your boy pumped!
Say it ain't so. Unbelievable.
TOTAL KTM curse!.......Damn!!!
anyone would would put a fuedal symbol beside any riders championship is a total jackass - stamp it
anyone who would - sorry
you gotta be in it to win it , all the way til the end !
I think Weimer has been on the podium this year also. Just quoting someone new on the podium this weekend ???
All these guys push hard! To say that everyone crashes out trying to match Villo's pace is a load of SH*T!!! Crashes happen to everyone. We could have been reading about Poto just as easily! Sh*T happens. Nothing more. Get well to all the injured!
Only 3 riders have tried to match speeds with RV, look what happened to each one of them, Defense rests.
Yeah Weege.......just keep telling yourself "It wasn't me -it wasn't me".
RV is up next .......... Really Weege ?
Do us all a favor and pick Obama to 2peat.
RV and JS have never really gone bar to bar.
No way ......no how is RV going to pass up the chance show James whats up both indoors and out.
KTM curse? There's no such thing. In Europe, KTM's are or were MX1 and MX2 champions. Of course the Euro's don't have a race-series based on racers taking big-risks via Supercross AMA tracks and Supercorss practice tracks.
JimboMX374 LMAO!!! YES Weege PLEASE pick obama!!!
Welcome to the RV1 show, with some drama in the back.....gonna be either RV, Seely, Stewart, Weimer or KDub making podiums from here on out i'm betting.
@BillC- no kidding, that Jimbo has some of the best posts on here for sure! Never out of line, and always makes sense. Keep them coming JimboMX374!! And get well soon RD-this series needs you!
What I find most ironic from a lot of RD posters here is how RV was going to crash himself out of the series and RD would win it Look back through time how people waited on Hannah and RC to do that very same thing. There has only been one really fast rider that did this and his resume is superior to most in history.
Now the cry goes out "You just wait until the outdoors", So you just wait, and wait, and wait, and wait.
It was reed in 2006 that raced Daytona with an Effed up shoulder had to go to the LCQ and race Travis Pastrana and even got 2nd in the main to RC. so why is the Dunge backing out. come on man. hes mister Consistency
This is just such a shame. I think most of us realy know how hard it is to even make it a year without injury. For the most part most of us racers have raced or tried to race with an injury. The supercros series is far from over anything can hapen yet. No I dont think RV wil buckle under presure but he should try to be consevative and we al know that is not his style.
Hey this gives Claxtons dad a chance to show us what he can do on that Penton!
God posts Jimbo and BD25 and also yes Weege if you are a jinx please use it on bama, Hey BillC I am with ya on that.
It would be different for RV to win this if he wasnt winning in the points and now wins with Reed out and now Dungey missing some races, but RV was laready winning. So anyone who says his title is somehow gifted to him is just not a fan or clueless..
And Preston, you are right. You have to be IN IT TO WIN IT, so no matter who wins the title, they earned it and it is just as important no matter who WASNT there right?? Thats right..
@BillC, pick Obama, then pick Romney--he is a flip flop... Then pick Santorum ,--he is a phoney--clean them all out, they are all crooks and liars..
"It's over, Congrats RV"
talk about a jinx...
therealmofo.. I hear ya, Not a fan of any Politicain's but I have had more than I can take from obama so I will take Romney anyday at this point.
hey handlebardragger
full face helmets brake collarbones. maybe but cmon, could you imagine morais without a ff helmet on
SO is there any word on how long Dungey will be out? 2-3 weeks??
So I suppose what's good for the goose is good for the gander. For all of you saying that Dungey crashed trying to run RV's pace, I suppose we can say that in 2010, RV crashed out trying to stay ahead of Dungey at St. Louis. And if Dungey lucked into his 2010 SX title while leading the series when RV crashed out, then if RV wins the 2012 SX title he lucked into it because Dungey crashed. I don't expect any RV fan to be honest and apply fair standards across the board, but at least try to use your heads a little bit. Dungey had a practice crash. Saying that he crashed trying to run RV's pace is ridiculous. If I recall correctly, quite a few years ago when Ernesto Fonseca was paralyzed while practicing, he said he wasn't even going that fast.
RV fans would do good to remember that RV has crashed plenty of times and saying that Reed and Dungey crashed out trying to run his pace is absurd. That is, unless RV fans are going to be fair and account RV's crashes to trying to run the leader's pace. Any one of these guys can crash out at any moment. No wonder people call you guys Villotards.
And just to clarify: Last week Dungey closes in on RV in the second half of the race with a cracked collarbone. Yeah, I'm pretty certain that Dungey was getting faster and faster on that KTM and would have been a serious threat for the title.
@BillC, NO WAY ON ROMNEY---We tried a big business loving multi-millionaire, and he killed our entire economy, by 2005 our economy was destroyed and our debt was huge again. We tried a liar and big business guy once, never again for me..They all suck..But he is probably the worse flip-flop liar of them all..
Therealmof Still I would take him over obama anyday!!!. And it looks like it will be him going agenst obama.
J_Sloan... This has to be hard for you I know. But please be nice to others.
. I am not saying RD lucked into anything in 2010 but that is still no where near the same deal as this. in 2010 Reed and JS were gone after the first round or 2 and RV was not up to speed till well into the searies so the speculation on RD's season had some merit to it because the top guys went out very early and he only won one race in 2011. This year no one showed they had RV's speed yet and it is well into the year and RV has 5 wins out of 9....so it's a lot dif.
Was it you J_Sloan who has some statistical data that showed RD would win this title??
@ BillC, I never claimed that I had statistical data that showed that RD would win the title. Not sure what you're talking about there. Ad for 2010 vs. 2012: It's ALWAYS different with RV fans, and it ALWAYS favors RV. It's quite laughable seeing the double standards from RV fans.
Shame for RD get well soon! And the last time I checked this is not a polictical blog let it be our safe haven, PLEASE
never write an article about a streak.... streaks are as fragile as a collarbone. Don't mess with a streak ever unless it is a losing streak.
I'm no doc but why would you plate a cracked collar bone? i had my collarbone plated 10 years ago and it still aches when i use it to much.. the one i broke and didn't have plated is fine. putting screws through yer bones is not always good for a quick fix.
i disagree to the guy who said rv was not dominating this year look as the amount of race wins not the points 5 wins to everyones 1 or 2.............1 guy has half the total wins

LCSC's Lester earns Region I Player of the Week honor
Lewis-Clark State College senior Ikaika Lester has been named the Region I Baseball Player of the Week for his performance in three games against the Oregon Institute of Technology.
Lester, a 6-foot-2, 215-pound first baseman/designated hitter from Kaunakakai, Hawaii, went 4-for-9 in the three games with two home runs, six RBI and four runs scored. He had a .444 batting average and a 1.222 slugging percentage.
Lester provided the late-game heroics in the first game of a doubleheader last Saturday when his solo home run with one out in the bottom of the eighth inning gave the Warriors a 2-1 victory in the scheduled seven-inning contest. Lester followed that walk-off home run with a three-run shot in the second game when he went 3-for-3 with three runs scored and five RBI. He also had a double in that contest.
Lester is now eligible for NAIA national Player of the Week honors, which will be announced on Wednesday.

This is the center page of a brochure that was published in the late 60s or early 70s. I do think that the plan as to put the hotel on Fourth between Washington and Market. From the looks of it, yes, the entire block. Much of the East Liverpool business community abandoned the city for the suburbs in Calcutta in the 1960s. The American suburbs were invented essentially by the WWII generation, who had decided that they wanted to live the rest of their lives inside their cars and in front of their TV sets.
- said...
Hence "Green Acres". M&M Douglas, well, him anyways, wanted to get away from the rat race of the city. And who wouldn't want to live near Hooterville and Petticoat Junction? Skinny dipping in the town water tower? ewwh.
Serioulsy though, that trend seems to be reversing, at least around Pittsburgh. Have you seen the Hienz apt. complex in the old factory on the Northside. Upscale and close to everything. The Gen X'rs are shunning the commute!
Sad but true on everyone leaving downtowns. Strip malls and traffic suck. I walk all my errands in town. Calcutta, for everything the trustees do well, has zero pedestrian planning. You couldn't walk anywhere out there to save (risk?) your life. And it's going to bite them in the butt someday. - said...

Matt the above is just plain incorrect. IN one of those futuristic Studies that we scanned it states clearly that the downtown business was setting retail record sales into the 70s. Those figures took into consideration increases in prizes.
So the downtown business world was doing quite well at least into the 70s. - M. said...
Yes, you're right. It was the 70s when the big shift occurred. There was a transition that still continues today. - said...
I see how the title of this section threw me, Happy New Year. Yea, I was off subject all right. What I said was since Nancy Pelosi has been the speaker of the house the national debt has been raised by 60%. Happy New Year? I think not.

Do you have any evidence, facts, figures to back up your claim or is this just you say and we are suppose to accept it as Gospel? - said...
Carl Albert was Speaker of the House from 1971 -1977 and an interesting man , but that was not my point.
It was an satirical response to Debt Watcher who blames the deficit ( or at least most of it at 60%) on Nancy Pelosi. - said...
John O,
Your response about Carl Albert doesn't make any sense. I tried to find something funny about it, but the fact is it seems you just threw something out there so you could have something to say.
For those of you, like Mr. O who don't know the meaning of what I said about Nancy P and the U.S. deficit going up by 60% while she was the speaker of the house of representatives, I'll explain: the house of representatives controls all the money spent by this country. All expenditures start in the house which controls the purse strings of this outrageous deficit we all have to live with.
For those who want to assign blame to someone other than the house majority, and some rogue republicans, take another hard look at the numbers on this one. There is enough blame to go around, but it's time this nonsense come to an end.
Just for the record I am neither a democrat or a republican. I am... - said...
Ok. Having helped scan the studies that were done in the late 60s and and early 70s that laid out the plans for the downtown and east end
revitalizing of East Liverpool and you had mentioned that revitalizing
I was a bit confused since I didn't recall seeing the name Carl Albert anywhere in them. I didn't think in terms of Congress.

And rest assured, if these pictures of Vikki Blows naked and topless prove to be as popular as I think, we'll be seeing a lot more of Vikki in the future.
