We Like | A Robot By Any Other Name
Posted on 11/20/13 by Jill Bernstein » No Comments
Here at DPJ, we're all about sharing what we love. Beyond the stories that make us love downtown, we often come across things that catch our eye, tingle our senses or have us dancing in delight. "We Like…" turns a brief spotlight on the little treasures that make our day, with helpful links so you can share in the fun.
When I was young I thought that artists were born fully formed and able to accomplish amazing work right out of the gate. Later I came to recognize that what makes an artist truly great is all of the time spent learning technique, honing their craft, refining their vision, solving problems, and growing into their talent. Recently I stumbled across an example of that kind of evolution in the work of a remarkable local artist, Jordan Alexander Thomas.
I first came across his delicious robot constructions at Made art boutique a few years ago. I don't really care one way or another about robots, but these charmed me immediately. Not only were they imaginative, cheerful and affordable, they also had magical little "secret compartments" built into their bodies. I am a sucker for a box, and the hidden boxes in these robot bodies had me leaping for joy.
Flash forward a couple of years to just a week or so ago, when I wandered into Practical Art one afternoon with a friend and discovered an entire exhibition of Thomas's newest robots. In just a few short years his constructions have evolved from charming, slightly rough-hewn curiosities, to gorgeously wrought works of art. I kid you not, they are absolutely beautiful.
So, quick like a bunny, before the show comes down, trundle yourself off to Practical Art and spend a little time marveling at these fabulous constructions. They'd make a perfect gift, especially if you tuck a little surprise into the secret compartment. For those of you who don't want to commit to a larger piece, Thomas has created smaller scale "busts," as well as some sweet and wearable pins.
Jordan Alexander Thomas bills himself as a robot artist, which might lead some people to overlook his work. Don't make that mistake. He has created unique, exquisite, finely detailed sculptures that just happen to be robots. When you slow down enough to look closely, you will be amazed and delighted. Your mind will be blown and Santa may just have to bring me one for Christmas!
Breathing New Life Into Beef Eaters
Posted on 3/28/13 by Jill Bernstein » No Comments
At last! Today was the day we got official word on the mysterious goings-on at the old Beef Eaters building at 3rd Ave. and Camelback Road.
Rumors have abounded and well over 100 people, including families from the neighborhood, business people, bankers, builders and just plain folks, gathered at 10 a.m. this morning to celebrate the plans to revitalize the site. The excitement was palpable on everyone's smiling faces.
From 1961 through 2006, Beef Eaters was a central gathering place for Phoenicians to share meals, celebrate special events, and craft the business deals that shaped our Valley. When owner Jay Newton died in 2006, the restaurant shut its doors and the building sat empty. Now adaptive reuse developers Venue Projects have stepped up with a remarkable vision to bring the site back to life.
Central Phoenix-based Venue Projects principle Lorenzo Perez told the crowd of Venue's dedication to finding and adapting buildings with history, a story to tell, and a strong sense of place. Jon Kitchell, another principle with Venue added, "We're salvage hounds and love finding materials worthy of putting back into place, like black leather booths and the Queen Creek adobe bricks of this place."
Working with John Douglas Architects, they'll be uncovering the bones of the building and incorporating the treasures they discover back into the new uses for the site.
"Jay Newton's Beef Eaters legacy will continue with a new interpretation of his iconic gathering place," said Kitchell. To honor the past, the new complex will be called The Newton.
The Newton is co-owned by Venue Projects and two of the three businesses that will comprise the site. Co-owners include the nationally renowned, independent, community-based bookstore, Changing Hands, which will open its second Valley location at the site; and Justin and Michelle Beckett, current owners of Beckett's Table, who will open a new neighborhood restaurant concept at The Newton. The third occupant will be The Lively Hood, a co-working space for creative professionals. Construction has begun and the goal is to reopen on November 1.
These three businesses will continue Jay Newton's Beef Eaters legacy. Located just across the street from the light rail station, the bookstore, restaurant and co-working space will be active community gathering spaces that energize the neighborhood and encourage people to work together.
Shannon Scutari of Sustainable Communities Collaborative summed up the thrill experienced by everyone gathered when she referenced an old African proverb. "If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go with others. This place," said Scutari, "is going to be about going it with others."
E&D Beat | St. Francis
Posted on 3/05/13 by Angela Dalessandro » No Comments
Local Fave: St. Francis
District: Uptown
Owner: Aaron and David Chamberlin
Opened: September 2009
The Concept: An "Urban Neighborhood Restaurant." That straightforward notion is prominently featured on the outside of this mid-century former office building turned loft-style eatery. At the helm is chef-owner Aaron Chamberlin, who has an impressive resume working under Jean-Georges Vongerichten and Nancy Oakes of Boulevard in San Francisco. Since day one, St. Francis has strived to serve the best, local seasonal ingredients in modern (but recognizable) cuisine. Family owned, they strive to keep their staff educated and efficient while warm and welcoming to anyone who dines there.
Have a Seat: Upon entering St. Francis, you are greeted with a "Pow!" at the door by the adorable chef caricature that comes from one of Chef Chamberlin's cookbooks. The hip, sleek interior and exterior designed by Wendell Burnette Architects showcases original brick walls and beamed ceilings. Beautiful bistro style tables and bar stools fill the dining area facing your choice of artwork, the semi-open kitchen, the patio, or bar. The bar is an indoor/outdoor spot with a garage style door that lets the warm AZ sunshine in. Large swivel glass doors open the dining room to a shaded patio, complete with heaters and a fireplace. You can also enjoy dinner, a drink or even a movie as it projects onto the patio wall. A beautiful mural decorates the upstairs wall along the mezzanine, providing eclectic scenery for the diners as they overlook the dining areas below. Two local artists, DOSE and Hector Ruiz, collaborated with Chamberlin to transform that space and give it some unique character. You can also find their artwork at Bentley Gallery and the Heard Museum.
The Eats: Though most of the menu is inspired by Chamberlin, day to day operations and execution are overseen by Executive Chef Chris Barch (promoted in March 2012). Many have raved about the St. Francis staples like the Pork Chile Verde or Baked Goat Cheese appetizer but there are many enticing things on the menu. Some probably won't ever go away, but new items get added for the regulars to try. One new addition is the The Pig Dip sandwich on the lunch menu: wood roasted pork loin, prosciutto, bacon, caramelized onion, and gruyere cheese on a house baguette. The ingredients are layered neatly and in perfect proportion. A surprise house-made mustard cuts all the richness and brightens it up. This sandwich is accompanied by a dipping jus but it's so delicious it really doesn't need it (however it provides a nice dip to soften the crunchy bread). If you're looking for some lighter fare, try the Farm Salad that is packed with healthy, local veggies like white beans, pickled onion, fennel, kale, and baby carrots dressed in a sauvingnon blanc vinaigrette. It's beautiful, balanced, and filling – all the qualities of a great salad. Proof that Chamberlin is keeping careful track of seasonal ingredients, a market list blackboard is adorned with the growing seasons of respective fruits, veggies, and meats/seafood along with approximate months/time frames. See for yourself that what you are eating is truly the freshest you can get.
FUN FACT: The custom wood fired oven was designed to provide a focal point in the restaurant as well as being the heart for many menu items. Almost every dish has some element coming from the mesquite and almond wood burning machine, designed using a 19th century bread-making blueprint. This has to be why St. Francis's San Francisco style homemade (almost daily) sourdough bread is so delish (take one home for only $3)!
The Drinks: HAPPY HOUR IS OFFERED EVERYDAY from 3-6! This is great not only for those looking to take a load off after work but also for local food industry people looking for a good deal on any given day of the week. Specialty cocktails are $5, and made with fresh squeezed juice, fresh fruit mixes, and homemade house syrups. Have a simpler palette? Get your well drinks, beer, and wine (by the glass) at half off. Aside from happy hour, their regular drink list offers a variety of quality wine and beer at reasonable prices. All are hand selected to complement the current menu and you can find some AZ wine and beer in the mix as well. Also, enjoy the lush Cartel coffee after a meal or during your morning brunch offered on weekends.
Report: With so many offerings, from brunch to happy hour to dinner, it would be difficult to leave St. Francis unsatisfied. The focus on a variety of locally driven food in a comforting, neighborhood, home-away-from-home concept invites people to re-visit Chamberlin's restaurant over and over again – each time with the possibility of a different experience. Even the kiddos can enjoy quality, tasty food FOR FREE. There are always fun things happening there (including live music for Sunday brunch from 10:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.) so check the website often for details on the changing, seasonal menus and events.
And stay tuned – as Chamberlin's second restaurant is scheduled to open in the former Urban Grocery & Wine Bar space (14 E. Pierce St.) in April 2013!
E&D Beat | Lux Central
Posted on 11/09/12 by Angela Dalessandro » No Comments
Want to go where the locals go? Read DPJ's new E&D Beat and visit some favorite Eats & Drinks destinations.
Local Fave: Lux Central
District: Midtown Phoenix
Owner: Jeff Fischer
Opened: 2011
Identity: "It's your third space," says bartender Ben Linsenmeyer of Lux Central. "It's a place that's not home or work but that third space you spend the rest of your time. The place you feel comfortable enough to grab your cup of coffee before work and then return to for a late night cocktail with friends." Ben explains that owner Jeff Fischer had a vision of creating this third space for his guests after attending a business conference about such things. What you won't get here is a map telling you where to order, pick up, or someone telling you where to sit. "It's meant to be that way," Ben says. "People who don't like our concept usually leave frustrated but then return with their friends, usually the very next day, explaining how it all works with a sense that now they're 'the cool ones'."
Find Your Way: The space offers an urban feel with brick walls and rigid textures complimented by sleek, mid-century furnishings. On every surface sits another unique piece of art or a trinket that is waiting to tell you its story. You'd hardly expect this place to be considered a bar. In fact, the puzzling layout forces you to walk the entire space, discovering different corners that reveal elements of the conceptual bar/restaurant/roastery. Menus seem to be misplaced and employees aren't outright identifiable. Any newcomer might initially be turned off, but a little exploration will have them delighted with this unconventional watering hole.
Have A Seat: With numerous seating areas, including a few different types of bars to sit at, you get a variety of experiences. Belly up to the low-sitting, polished-stone bar counter and watch your favorite bartender mix up a cocktail from fresh ingredients that are literally at your finger tips. Take your cocktail to one of the many community tables where you can chat with a business CEO and a local artist, finding an unexpected common ground. For the foodies, a comfy seating arrangement of tufted sofas or rough cut wood picnic style bench faces the open stainless steel kitchen.
The Eats: Find everything from organic steel cut oats to vegetarian egg bakes, seasonal pies and cookies, weekend breakfast NY strip steaks, and mac n' cheese. This is a true local, seasonal menu offering the best in comfort food. The real fun is coming in to see the lunch and dinner offerings that change daily.
The Drinks: You'll find the cocktail menu carefully handwritten on note cards, taped to a clear divider at the end of the bar. The bartenders are also happy to whip up something special, just for you. With high-end spirits and fresh herbs and produce, these mixologists will find a way to your inner buzz. As for beer and wine, Lux has a menu of over 50 domestic, local, craft, and imported brews, along with beautiful, recognizable wines and some approachable exotics – all fairly priced.
What They Say: "Lux is that place that everyone is leaving, going to, or is already at," says Lux Central regular Emily Caldwell, owner of Gallery Parallax. She explains that you can arrive by yourself and by the end of your visit have made five new friends. Alternatively, you can find yourself a quiet nook and enjoy a house-roasted coffee or daily inspired cocktail while studying or working.
Report: Lux Central offers a social experiment, with a melting pot of guests and an eccentric, but exceptional service strategy. You'll never have the same experience twice, but always the same quality in eats and drinks. Cheating on Lux to enjoy other places is expected, but this is the place where you'll always return: Phoenix's unique third space.
Let's Deck the Halls and Central Avenue
Posted on 10/11/12 by DPJ Staff » No Comments
Community members representing Downtown Phoenix and beyond (including DPJ) have been working on a plan to make Central Avenue sparkle and shine during the upcoming holiday season.
It's a big idea worthy of this great city – and it's going to take a community-wide effort to make it happen.
Think of it: up to 10 miles of our city's grand boulevard festooned with decorations!
A Holiday Decoration Fund has been established, with donations needed by October 25 to get the decorations up by Thanksgiving.
There are hundreds of light poles that can be decorated, so the more donations the more festive Central Avenue will be!
Read the following invitation to participate and let's all come together and contribute to the spirit of Phoenix and the holiday season.
Dear Phoenix Community:
Please help us bring the spirit of the Holiday Season back to Central Avenue from Camelback to Dobbins!
Last year was the first year since light rail construction began that our Central Avenue street lights had holiday decorations. By the end of the Holiday Season (Thanksgiving – MLK Holiday) the decorations had deteriorated and are no longer usable.
A number of property owners and managers of buildings along the Central corridor are eager to help bring decorations back to the street.
We hope you will be too!
The cost to purchase or refurbish – and install, store, maintain, and remove the decorations, as well as purchase new hardware to support them – is excessive.
The most affordable option for the short and long term is to lease new decorations. Many communities across the country are tending toward this direction.
We have worked with all the vendors involved and have arrived at a reduced rate of $210 per street light. This includes everything: the decoration and banner (examples pictured right), installation, removal, the purchase of new hardware required to support it all and tax.
The City of Phoenix and Valley Metro Rail are assisting us and support this effort. Also, some property owners want to help decorate streets and areas along and adjacent to the light rail.
We do not have much time. Please join us!
The Phoenix Community Alliance (PCA) has agreed to be the facilitator for the Phoenix Holiday Decoration fund.
Payments must be processed by October 25.
Download the contribution form from PhoenixCommunityAlliance.com.
Then use your credit card to donate online.
Or make checks payable and mail to:

234 North Central Avenue
Suite M-1100, Floor 1A

(ANY level of contribution is appreciated! PCA is a 501 (c)3 organization and your contributions are tax deductible.)
Please do not hesitate to contact PCA at 602-254-7477 ext. 22 with any questions you may have.
Thank you! And here's to a Happy Holiday season!

CINDERELLA and the CARPETBAGGER LIVE ON: KINDLE February 24, 7am NOOK February 25, 6pm KOBO February 26, 8am
When she pulled The Carpetbaggers off the shelf, looking for a good read to while away the weekend, Grace Palermo never imagined that she would soon meet the book's international best-selling author, let alone spend the next thirty years of her life with him.
When Grace and Harold met, his career was already well established, but over the next thirty years, his fame would become legendary, as did their lifestyle together. This engrossing memoir spans the 60s, 70s, and 80s, in all their hallucinogenic and freewheeling splendor. The couple was at the center of a globetrotting jet set, with mansions in Beverly Hills, villas and yachts in the South of France and Acapulco, known for their lavish—and sometimes orgiastic parties. Their life together rivaled that of the characters in Harold's books, but in the privacy of their home things weren't always as they seemed.
Not only does Grace Robbins reveal what it was like to live alongside the "prince of sex and scandal," but she also takes us on journey of rollicking good fun, be it through anecdotes of a chance meeting with Pablo Picasso, a lifetime friendship with James Baldwin, or a racy evening in Hamburg with composer Frederick Lowe. With charm, introspection, and humor, Grace lays open her fascinating, roller-coaster ride, a real Cinderella tale.
"Grace Robbins has written an explosive tell-all about one of my favorite authors — the wild and wonderful Harold Robbins. He did it . . . . She did it . . . . And then he wrote about it . . . Sexy fun." — Jackie Collins

To Sew, or Not to Sew?
After a few days of humming and hawing, I finally made a decision on whether to sew the curtains for baby girl's room myself, or to have them sewn for me.
The verdict: DIY!
Why? Well, as much as the lazy, pregnant girl inside of me would love to have the folks at Tonic Living sew the curtains for me, the practical, can-do girl inside of me is saying to suck it up and sew! Also, the budget-loving, money-saving girl inside of me remembered that we still need to find a rug for the room to help dampen any hardwood floor squeaks and noises. The money saved on custom sewing can go towards the rug budget. Practicality wins again. Sigh…
So, it looks like my Christmas break (bearing that the fabric arrives before Christmas…fingers crossed!) will be spent doing this…
And a more of this…
Wish me luck!
A Place to Rest Her Head
Progress on our lil girl's room is coming along nicely. Over the weekend, we selected a crib and dresser with the help of Grandpa- and Babcia-to-be.
After looking at a few cribs and dressers (and giving each one a good, solid shake to test for durability — all new parents do this, right?), we zoned in on this crib and dresser from a Canadian company called College Woodwork.
The furniture comes in a variety of finishes with the choice of hardware. We opted for white, which will contrast nicely with the dark hardwood floors, and oval pulls on the dresser. We really like the curves on this furniture — it should go nicely with the graphic elements in our fabric selections.
With it being the holidays, we won't receive the furniture for another 8-10 weeks. Hopefully it all arrives on time! We have 14-ish more weeks to go and this Momma is anxious to get every lil onesie and cloth diaper washed and folded away. I think the full-blown nesting has started to settle in, no?
Scenes of Christmas
Christmas is my favourite holiday of the year.
I love pulling out all of our decorations — some new, some handed down from my parents — and covering the house in Christmas cheer. Each year, I start plotting our decor on November 1st.
This year was no exception.
Without further ado, I bring to you Christmas…
The Merry Christmas banner is my favourite craft thus far. To make it, I simply cut the letters out of seasonal scrapbook paper using my Silhouette Cameo and strung each letter together using red and white twine. I even made a few extra and gave them to friends and family to help spread some Christmas cheer.
Slow down and enjoy this last week before Christmas. It'll all be over in a flash!
Fabulous Fabric
Since deciding on keeping the existing beige paint colour in baby girl's room, it was time to turn our attention to fabric.
I knew that I wanted the space to be modern, graphic, colourful and versatile for years to come — but, that was it. As for a colour scheme? No clue. No clue at all!
That's why I love Tonic Living. Their online fabric store {which is Canadian, by the way!} is a super awesome source. So many wonderful fabrics to choose from at reasonable prices. You can't find fabrics of this quality, variety, etc. at a big chain fabric store. Don't even bother….I've tried!
After snooping around for a bit, this fabric called "Varenna, Coral" caught my attention:
If you follow along in "blogland" at all, you might recall that Stefanie from Brooklyn Limestone used the same fabric in her little gal's room. Isn't it amazing? SOLD!
To make sure that we were on the right path, I ordered a swatch of the fabric along with a handful of other samples.
After playing around with all of the options, Ted and I settled on this scheme:
From left to right: "Varenna, Coral": curtains, "Emilio Cosmo": throw cushions, "Flatiron, Grey": crib skirt — all from Tonic Living. The Orange Dot and Khaki Dot fabric samples are from Land of Nod and will likely end up being the crib sheet and/or change pad fabric.
So, I guess you can say our scheme is a mix of cherry-coral-orange-khaki-grey-white awesomeness! It's totally not what I thought we would end up choosing {I'm eating my words right now — I always said I wouldn't include "pink" in a girl's room}, but I love it and so does Ted, which is important because he'll be spending a lot of time in this space changing dirty diapers, right honey?
Now, the big debate is whether I should sew the curtains myself, or have the capable folks at Tonic Living do them for me. I've sewn curtains before for our living room and they turned out super fabulous {and I really enjoy sewing}, but I just don't know if my somewhat tired, pregnant body has the energy to complete the curtains. The pillows and crib skirt can be whipped up quite easily — it's the curtains that have me hesitating a bit. I'll keep you posted!
As an aside, this isn't a sponsored post. I happen to really love Tonic Living and am happy to promote a local Canadian business run by exceptional folks. Thanks Janine and Shannon for your help!
A Blank Canvas
With baby girl's due date staring us down {only 15-ish weeks until she's due!}, we finally got our acts together by starting work on her room.
Our bungalow is a cozy three bedroom home. Since living in the house, our two extra bedrooms have always acted as guest rooms for the rare overnight visitor. After discovering we were expecting, we sold one of our queen guest beds to a lovely family and ended up with an empty room on our hands.
It's a blank canvas with refinished hardwood floors in a dark stain, updated trim and neutral beige paint. Originally, I had my heart set on painting the room a soft grey, but after some thought, the existing light beige paint colour is more than perfect {and already done! Yay to no painting, right Grandpa?}
Not pictured is the large window that floods the room with afternoon sunlight {note to self: get blackout lining for the curtains!} and a large double closet.
It's not the biggest room by any stretch, but it's totally cozy, sunny and perfect for our little girl.
And, Baby Makes Three!
It's been a very long time since I have updated the blog. One minute I am playing in the dirt, getting the garden beds ready for summer and then before you know it, it's Christmas!
So, what exactly have we been up to since June?
Well, baking a bun in my oven, of course!
Yep…that's right. Baby makes three! Well, really, four….we have to include our four-legged fur baby, Mason, in the mix!
We are expecting a baby girl and she's due to arrive late March. To say we are excited is an understatement!
So, there you have it — an official post about my MIA status since the summer.
Up next: starting work on the baby's room.
Yes, I just referred to it as a "baby's room" and not "nursery" — a "nursery" sounds like a place for sick babies and we'll have none of that!
DIY Wedding Gift
We are headed to a wedding tomorrow for my dear cousin Lindsay and her fiancé Mark and it's going to be a fabulous day with picture perfect weather. Lindsay and I spent many hours as little girls playing "wedding" in my Mom's wedding dress, so it will be amazing to see Lindsay walk down the aisle. I'm sure there will be tears!
With weddings on the mind, I thought I would share a DIY wedding gift idea that I gave two of our friends, Lisa and Pete, on their wedding day back in November — a wedding invitation keepsake.
Lisa and Pete's invitation was gorgeous — it featured a unique design in black, yellow and maroon. I wish I snapped a before photo of the invite. It was so them!
To make the keepsake, I simply cut the wedding invitation in small strips (approximately 1 cm each) using a sharp craft knife and ruler and curled the pieces around a pencil. Next, I inserted the invitation curls into the circular glass ornament being very careful not to break the delicate glass.
To personalize the ornament, I used my Silhouette machine and black vinyl to add Lisa and Pete's names and wedding date on the ornament.
To top off the piece, I added some charms that I thought represented their union: trust, faith and love. A simple black ribbon was looped through the top of the ornament for hanging.
I was really excited to give this personalized gift to Lisa and Pete, especially since they both have an appreciation for hand-made items. It is currently hanging in their living room as a special reminder of their wonderful wedding day.
With wedding season in full swing, do you have any DIY wedding gift ideas that you like to give? I'd love to hear about them!

About the Book:
About the Author:
My Opinion:
In this tale of a woman who basically sells herself into her marriage for 160 acres of unforgiving land in the South Dakota Badlands the reader sees the strength of the American homesteader.
Rachel Reeves was working in the kitchen of Mrs. DuPree's boarding house when Isaac DuPree comes home in his Army uniform. Rachel falls in love but Isaac has one thing on his mind; homesteading in the Badlands where he can stake his claim to 160 acres of land. To him land is everything. Rachel reminds him that as a single woman she too can claim 160 acres. She give him her claim if he agrees to marry her. They do marry and off they head to South Dakota.
In spite of Isaac offering her an out after one year of marriage they stay together forging a relationship, building a house and buying other ranches. They are never quite accepted by the others in town due to their color but they cannot be ignored because of the size of their holding.
All is going well until drought strikes and suddenly everything they have built together starts to implode. Rachel realizes that Isaac is not what she thought he was. Nor is she.
I read this book in one sitting. I couldn't put it down. It's powerful, it's compelling and it's hard to read. Not because of the writing; the writing is beautiful in a harsh, Badlands way but because of the topics. (They are startlingly beautiful but unbelievably harsh country. I loved visiting.) Rachel is a woman who knew what she wanted, went after it but got more than she bargained for. She got her man but he never cared for anything but the land. Everything he did was for that accursed land. What she wanted didn't count. Another woman who thought she would change a man....
The characters are well drawn and utterly fascinating. Isaac is a man who knows what he wants and will let nothing stand in his way. Rachel is a woman of strength, courage and love. Like every mother she wants more for her children than she had. When she realizes that life on the ranch is depriving them of many of the sweeter aspects of life she makes a hard decision that will effect all of their lives. I so wanted this book to continue. I felt as if I were immersed in the time period and in the world. Ms. Weisbarber's writing had the power to do that. You won't be disappointed in reading this book.

Batman vs. Punisher: Arkham Asylum vs. No Mercy Impressions
I don't want to get anyone's hopes up by giving the impression this is a review of Batman: Arkham Asylum. It's not. But I've been doing some research into the game, and wanted to rant a bit about the character of Batman as compared to other heroes, specifically the Punisher. A friend of mine recently compared Batman to the Punisher as being very similar, and I couldn't disagree more. Why? Let's take a look.
Batman, as we know, began life as Bruce Wayne. The privileged child of Thomas and Martha Wayne, billionaire from birth. He never really got the chance to enjoy his good fortune, however. His parents were killed in a random mugging right in front of his eyes. I remember Batman at some point saying "I haven't been a kid since I was 8 years old". He never gets over the loss of parents, but not in a whiny-personal "I-miss-Uncle-Ben" kind of way. More of a fix-the-corruption-and-criminal-environment-that-allowed-this-to-happen way.
So Bruce disappears off the face of the earth when he's old enough to actually do it, gains focus on his goal of crime-fighting, and trains his mind and body to do what must be done. Years later, he reappears in Gotham City as the Dark Knight. In Arkham Asylum, you will be able take advantage of Batman's training as a detective and martial arts master with the abilities of a kind of Assassin's Creed "Eagle-Vision" (but far more in-depth), great combos and other techniques to fight groups of enemies en masse or divide and conquer.
Frank Castle, on the other hand, had a family until they were killed during a picnic in Central Park after witnessing a gangland execution. After that traumatic event, he dedicated his life to destroying criminals and murderers. Not fighting crime, but destroying criminals. He put to use his experience as a war veteran – special operations, infiltration, obviously his mastery of firearms and close combat in his relentless personal crusade.
The Punisher's skills set (guns, knives and fists) is well expressed in his video games. In fact, the latest title is a download from the PlayStation Network called Punisher: No Mercy. A nominally better title could have been Nothing New. A generic, first-person-shooter that brings nothing to the table except maybe a half hour or so of story play (that's not a joke), and however many hours of online play you can stomach. Fire your weapon at thugs until the clip is empty. Reload and repeat. So like the Punisher himself, who is kind of a one-dimensional character, we have a game that reflects this. Although to be fair, I wasn't expecting a racing game – you don't get Speed Racer. You get the Punisher.
I think that's a very important note that a lot of games are overlooked for. The subject content to begin with can more often than not determine how complex, how deep and interesting the rabbit hole can go, or how dry, banal and downright boring a game can be, regardless of how good the mechanics are, if the subject matter is paper-thin.
As for why Batman and the Punisher are dissimilar, the point is very simple. The Punisher doesn't fight crime. Yeah, I said it. Punisher kills criminals, takes their money and uses it to finance killing more criminals. Oh yeah, and that "funding" goes towards black market weapons. So not only does he do what many criminals already do (rob and kill other criminals) but he's the black market's best customer. How can he possibly ever finish his crusade if he perpetuates the system himself? Of course, that doesn't matter to the Punisher. It's not like he's worried about crime. He just wants to kill bad guys.
If Batman and the Punisher existed in the same universe, Batman would track down and capture the Punisher without a second thought. Why? Batman fights crime. Not criminals, but crime – organized and systematic. He takes down mob bosses, putting them through the legal system so that the entire organization can go down with them. The Punisher uses a chainsaw to weed his garden, but all he does his create mulch for new weeds to grow. Batman pulls them out by the roots.
Don't worry, this all has a bearing on the games. When you slide a Batman game into your console, you're not just expecting a punch 'em up, one-dimensional game. Hell, even Batman for the Sega Genesis had more depth than Punisher: No Mercy. But would you ever expect to see a Punisher game as innovative and intense as Batman: Arkham Asylum? Maybe. But I doubt it. The subject matter of the game almost always determines the quality of the game, providing the execution doesn't suck anyway. If you make a game about ducks, expect it to quack.
So that was my excuse to rant a bit on the Batman/Punisher comparison. If anyone thinks I'm completely out of my mind or if you think I missed something that you'd like to mention, then let me know below! Also, I'd like to know who likes Batman more than Punisher and vice versa.
Also, some of you might think I'm bat-biased. Well, of course that's true. Batman rules – who could argue to the contrary?

Constitutional engineering nap
10.05.2004Another sleepy Tuesday morning. I figure a nap's in order. Or maybe curl up in bed w/ The Architecture of Democracy, the book digest of the Constitutional Design 2000 conference I attended at Notre Dame. The whole event was like the superstars of constitutional engineering. The highlight? Probably watching Giovanni Sartori's ego assail Arend Lijphart. Or sharing a smoke w/ Juan Linz. Biggest disappointment? Robert Dahl couldn't attend, so I've yet to meet my biggest political science idol.
Tonight's also the big Cheney-Edwards vice presidential debate. Should be more interesting than last week's debate, but not sure it'll mean much. And I would've much preferred a Condi-Edwards debate. How much fun would that match-up have been?
Slate is running an electoral college predictor, and it currently has Bush up 348-190. The Electoral Vote 2004 website (run by a Kerry supporter) has Bush up 321-200. And Michigan's again a dead heat (46-46). Slate has Bush up in Michigan 50-48 — though I think the state'll vote Kerry in the end.
UPDATE 1: Proving we do indeed live in a sci-fi reality, there's a campaign (House, Senate) to amend the constitution to allow foreign-born citizens (ahem, Arnold Schwarzenneger) to run for president. They have a website. Now go out & rent Demolition Man.
UPDATE 2: OK. This is scary. It's the second report of someone firing shots at a local GOP office. And here I thought hate wasn't a family value.
Posted by Miguel at 02:59 PM
it would be cool if we could pick people and make them debate on live TV. it could be a new reality show... like we don't have enough of those..
Posted by: Sam at October 5, 2004 03:38 PM
It's too bad presidential politics involves two very predictable stages.
A) A long, cluttered primary campaign where voters end up settling for the least-objectionable candidate. Basically, the last man standing after all the bozos throw money & mud at each other.
B) A long, tedious post-primary campaign where parties try to convince voters that their candidate was the obvious primary winner & the magical solution to all our problems.
Posted by: Miguel at October 5, 2004 05:11 PM
Re Update #2:
I've heard about the Republican office shooting. Crazy fucks. American goddamn Taliban.
Posted by: T'su Rii at October 5, 2004 08:35 PM
Does that mean I could become president of the United States???? :)
Posted by: Melli at October 5, 2004 10:15 PM
Yes. And me, too! If the amendment passes.
Posted by: Miguel at October 5, 2004 10:20 PM
Well, me not yet, because I am not a citizen yet (and do not intend to become one) but your chances have certainly increased.
Anyways, thanks for posting it. I teach on constitutions tomorrow. And that might just be the last discussion piece I need.

Many pundits were saying that once Chrysler and General Motors break the power of the dealerships as the major distribution network for selling vehicles, then we would see out-of-the-ordinary shops selling vehicles.
Well, apparently it is beginning to happen. Best Buy, a major retail chain that offers consumer electronics products, will soon be selling so-called green vehicles. This includes electric-powered scooters, bicycles, and Segways. One models is the Brammo Enertia, described as a futuristic electric motorcycle. It is said that the Brammo has a range of 45 miles and can travel at speeds of up to 50 miles an hour. It plugs into a standard wall outlet.
Not every store will be selling EVs. Right now only 19 locations, located in California, Oregon, and Washington, will be offering product.

This is a good way to make traditional meatloaf less boring. I love vegetables and lots of flavor, so I tried this and it turned out quite well. It might be even better topped with cheese instead of ketchup.
First, make a sauce of ketchup, spicy mustard, and Worcestershire sauce.
Then dice a tomato and add it to the sauce.
Next, knead a raw egg, bread crumbs, and your choice of spices into the ground beef in a large bowl. For spices, I used salt, pepper, cajun seasoning, garlic salt, and red pepper flakes.
I didn't have bread crumbs, so I just toasted a hot dog bun and crumbled it in. Improvisation!
Add the sauce and tomatoes to the mixture, along with the mushrooms, and shape into a loaf in a lightly greased baking pan. Top with any extra veggies.
I also like to add more ketchup to keep it moist on top.
Then you just bake in a 350 degree oven for one hour...
and you're done! I served it with mac'n'cheese and beans. Yum!

Presti on Coaching Rumors: 'It's Rubbish'
Posted By HOOPSWORLD On June 25, 2012 @ 6:59 am In All,Headlines,NBA Headlines | No Comments
Sam Presti on Sunday shot down speculation that the Thunder could target Phil Jackson or Jeff Van Gundy for the team's coaching duties should a contract extension with Scott Brooks not come together.
"To me, it's rubbish," said Presti, the Thunder's general manager, when asked about recent reports listing the two former coaches as possibilities.
Brooks' contract expires Saturday. But the two sides postponed negotiations while the team was competing in the NBA Finals. Now that the season has concluded, Presti called Brooks' contract the organization's top priority.

What are you most proud of? i love how the coffee dyed under layer looks with the green. i also like how i altered the pattern.
Sewing knit fabric on a machine requires skill, and a "walking foot"..... Hand sewing is therapeutic...and speed is not part of the process here
Wow! I love the color combination of this jacket and your choice of stencil design. It looks fantastic on you! Beautiful work!
I just signed up, have been picking away at ACing from her book but does not give enough instruction for me, looking forward to starting this class. Did you make and design your own stenciled for this jacket? Your pieces are all beautiful! What alterations did you do to the jacket?
hi maggie, thank you! the class is terrific. i made the stencil, inspired by an earring i had from years ago. i used mylar, but think i would try again with freezer paper, which i have used since. the major alterations were - no darts. i just continued the line of the hem on the pattern, and eliminated the pockets. i also eliminated the neck facing piece. will you make the jacket?

Watch the Beatles Let It Be
Reader Comments
I purchased a copy of the 2011 35mm STEREO DVD of the Beatles Let it be movie last month.I'll tell you,if your TV is set up with stereo speakers and a receiver,your gonna feel like your in those Twickenham/Apple studios! Man what a difference!You'll never go back to the MONO version ever again.It sounds amazing!However they could of done more to the print.Even though the grain is all gone(finally) and the colors look better,sometimes the picture looks a little blured,especially when you see the Beatles faces..not all the time,but the remastering could have been "tweeked" a little more to get a sharper picture...but still better then the VHS.The widescreen is fine,but if this would have been a 16mm print rather then using the 35mm,it would have been almost a legit release from Apple.Concusion,pick up this 2011 35mm Stereo widescreen until Apple gets a clue and finally release this movie.(Oh the rooftop concert,you wanna turn that up all the way!)
For proof just go to youtube and type in "Let It Be Theatrical Version." You'll be amazed at what you see.
Although, the City of London has shut down the appropiate celebration of the 40th anniversary at No. 3 Savile Row, Seattle will be celebrating with their own re-enactment of the Rooftop Concet. Creme Tangerine will perform the exact set the Beatles did 40 years ago to the hour with special guest Ken Mansfield, former US manager for Apple Records, who was the only U.S. citizen on the roof that day in '69. A rooftop in Seattle's Pike Place Market will be the place...you know the time and day.
This event is going to be recreated on the actual day and location, Friday 30th January 2009, No.3 Savile Row, London, W1.
It will be attended by celebrities and celebrity Beatles fans, celebratiing the 40th anniversary
In response to the comment by Kevin Johnson, Let It Be was shot in 16mm with a 4:3 aspect ratio. For theatrical release it was blown up to 35mm and cropped. Later home video releases took the 35mm version and pan and scanned it! For correct aspect ratio it should be presented full screen, not in a fake, cropped widescreen.
Paul, Ringo, and surviving wives, why haven't you released this remarkable peice of history- the film let It Be?!? Do you not realize people are still foaming at the mouth for any new Beatles releases(and yes Paul, ya'll should release thar avant gaurde(sp?) peice ya'll recorded) along with some other songs that weren't released as singles(at least as far as I remember), but sound as good today as they did in the sixties. Maybe one song per Beatle- George's "Savoy Truffle", John's "In My Life" or "Glass Onion", Ringo's "Octopus' Garden" and Paul...there are so many- "You Won't See Me", "Blackbird", "Back In the USSR", "Drive My Car". There are so many great songs, and Elvis and Mariah Carey(of all people-talented singer but not in the entertainment league of The Beatles and Elvis) are catching up to you on the #1 Singles list.
And Paul, if you're reading this, I have an idea for a musical based upon songs you've written as a Beatle and solo artist. Please contact me, so we can collaborate on this project.
the rooftop concert was fabulous. i only wish the police had not interfered.
i am looking forward to a dvd release that hopefully includes more footage of what went on whether good or bad.
It was broadcast ONCE after the assasination of John Lennon on a Cable chanel that I did not have. I brought my HUGE vcr over to Aunt Ruth's house and taped it. I enjoy parts of it, but the aspect ratio is all wrong. Sometimes John and Paul are singing but the camera only shows Ringo and George! I hope if they ever release it that it will be in wide screen format.

This excerpt taken from the ATVI 10-K filed Jun 9, 2006. Call of Duty. According to NPD, we were the only publisher to have three top-ten PC titles
for calendar year 2004: This excerpt taken from the ATVI 10-Q filed Feb 8, 2006. Call of Duty 2 titles. Though many of these titles have substantial
production or acquisition costs and marketing budgets, once a title recoups
these costs, incremental net revenues directly and positively impact operating
profits resulting in a disproportionate amount of operating income being
derived from these select titles. We
expect that a limited number of titles and brands will continue to produce a
disproportionately large amount of our net revenues and profits.
Three factors that could affect future publishing and distribution net revenue performance are console hardware pricing, software pricing and transitions in console platforms. As console hardware moves through its life cycle, hardware manufacturers typically enact price reductions. Reductions in the price of console hardware typically result in an increase in the installed base of hardware owned by consumers. Historically, we have also seen that lower console hardware prices put downward pressure on software pricing. While we expect console software launch pricing for the Xbox360 to hold at $59.99, we have started to see software pricing declines on the current-generation console systems. Additionally, when new console platforms are announced or introduced into the market, such as the upcoming 2006 calendar year releases of the PS3 and Revolution and the November 2005 release of the Xbox360, consumers typically reduce their purchases of game console entertainment software products for current console platforms in anticipation of new platforms becoming available. During these periods, sales of our game console entertainment software products may be expected to slow or even decline until new platforms are introduced and achieve wide consumer acceptance. 37 This excerpt taken from the ATVI 10-Q filed Aug 4, 2005. Call of Duty. In addition, the number of premium PC titles
released in the first quarter of fiscal 2005 increased to three titles from one
PC title released in the first quarter of fiscal 2004. We expect fiscal
2006 PC net revenues as a percentage of total publishing revenues to decrease
from the prior fiscal year as there were three strong performing PC exclusive
releases in the prior fiscal year, This excerpt taken from the ATVI 10-K filed Jun 9, 2005. Call of Duty, were based on our
wholly-owned original intellectual property.
Additionally, during fiscal 2003, we recorded an approximate $7.0
million charge related to an assessment of the recoverability of certain of our
investments in long-term licensing agreements.

Drink this lovely white wine as an aperitif or with a variety of food pairings from salmon and main-course salads to Asian and Thai influenced dishes."

2012 Four Graces Pinot Gris
"At The Four Graces we ferment our Pinot Gris in stainless steel exclusively to enhance the true varietal character of this cool climate variety. The 2012 Willamette Valley Pinot Gris is brimming with aromas of tropical fruit, guava, and the stone fruit essence of peach. Flavors mimic the aromas with the addition of orange blossom and warm roasted nuts. A creamy texture is beautifully balanced with a lingering finish of juicy, bright acidity."

About Us
Oando Gas and Power Limited is developer of Nigeria's foremost natural gas distribution network and captive power solutions. We pioneered the private sector piping and distribution of natural gas to industrial and commercial consumers, successfully reviving private sector participation in the gas distribution business in Nigeria. With 100km of pipes already laid in Lagos State and another 128 km in progress in Akwa Ibom and Cross River States, we are taking bold steps towards building sub-Saharan Africa's largest gas pipeline network. We also recently successfully commissioned our 10.4 MW Alausa Independent Power Plant which will supply uninterrupted power to the Lagos State Government Secretariat in Alausa, Ikeja.
Over the years, we made significant investments in the development of gas and power infrastructure that assure reliable supply of natural gas including high pressure transmission pipelines, gas processing facilities etc. Our aspiration is to replicate the success recorded in our Greater Lagos Natural Gas Distribution in other parts of Nigeria and West Africa whilst we strive to expand our horizon in Independent Power Generation to captive opportunities in locations where we have gas infrastructure and Exploration & Production assets.
At Oando Gas and Power, the nature of our business pre-disposes us naturally as supporters of industrial and commercial concerns by offering them cheap and affordable energy solutions which translates into significant cost advantages to the organizations that we serve.

BREAKING LOGISTICS NEWSFROM AROUND THE WORLD. Get our eNewsletter
Closure will eliminate 130 Calgary positions
CALGARY, Sept. 19, 2013 /CNW/ - Canadian Pacific (TSX: CP) (NYSE: CP) has given notice that it will close its Locomotive Reliability Centre (LRC) at Alyth Yard in Calgary in the next number of months. This will result in the elimination of approximately 130 local positions.
CP's decision is the result of a Canadian Transportation Agency (CTA) September 13, 2014 order directing the railway to immediately cease and desist "load testing" and idling operations in proximity to the LRC between 11:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m. This order poses productivity challenges for service and maintenance work of locomotives during this ordered time.
The CTA order fails to recognize the 24-7 operational requirements and restricts the railway's ability to provide service for customers in Calgary, throughout North America, and those relying on coastal ports for off-shore shipments.
In the coming months locomotive repair and maintenance work, previously conducted in Calgary's 60-year-old Alyth LRC, will be transitioned to other maintenance facilities on the CP network.
Alyth Yard will continue to serve as an important rail yard operation for CP, as it has for more than a century. The CTA decision does not impact other 24-7 railway activities taking place in the yard.
About Canadian Pacific Canadian Pacific (TSX:CP)(NYSE:CP) is a transcontinental railway in Canada and the United States with direct links to eight major ports, including Vancouver and Montreal, providing North American customers a competitive rail service with access to key markets in every corner of the globe. CP is a low-cost provider that is growing with its customers, offering a suite of freight transportation services, logistics solutions and supply chain expertise.

Yoga: The Art of Transformation
October 19, 2013–January 26, 2014
Arthur M. Sackler Gallery
Yoga is a global phenomenon practiced by millions of people seeking spiritual insight and better health. Few, however, are aware of yoga's dynamic history. Opening this fall at the Smithsonian's Arthur M. Sackler Gallery is Yoga: The Art of Transformation, the world's first exhibition of yogic art. Temple sculptures, devotional icons, vibrant manuscripts, and court paintings created in India over 2,000 years—as well as early modern photographs, books, and films—reveal yoga's mysteries and illuminate its profound meanings.
The exhibition borrows from twenty-five museums and private collections in India, Europe, and the United States. Highlights include an installation that reunites for the first time three monumental stone yogini goddesses from a tenth-century Chola temple; ten folios from the first illustrated compilation of asanas (yogic postures), made for a Mughal emperor in 1602, which have never before been exhibited together; and Thomas Edison's Hindoo Fakir (1906), the first movie ever produced about India.
Through masterpieces of Indian sculpture and painting, Yoga: The Art of Transformation explores yoga's rich diversity and historical transformations, including its philosophies, transformational goals, and importance within multiple religions. The exhibition also examines the varied roles that yogis and yoginis played in society, from sages to spies.
Yoga: The Art of Transformation is organized by the Arthur M. Sackler Gallery, Smithsonian Institution. Generous support for the exhibition is provided by the Friends of Freer|Sackler, Whole Foods Market, Art Mentor Foundation Lucerne, The Alec Baldwin Foundation, Chandrika and Ranjan Tandon, The Ebrahimi Family Foundation, Nancy and Hart Fessenden, May Liang and James Lintott, Susan and Michael Pillsbury, Mrs. Arthur M. Sackler, Catherine Glynn Benkaim and Barbara Timmer, IndiaTourism, the Together We're One crowdfunding campaign, and media sponsor Yoga Journal.
