Big pipeline meeting tonight in Port Arthur town and the PR machine is a churnin'.
A new report by Waco's The Perryman Group (who's latest report detailed the economic hit the Big 12 would take if/when A&M bolts) tells us that new Transcanada Keystone XL pipeline will do magnificent things for the Texas economy; Southeast Texas in particular.
Here's the rundown.
And feel free to start salivating…NOW!
During construction, the pipeline would:
- Lead to $2.3 billion in new spending for the Texas economy
- Increase personal income by $1.6 billion
- Increase state and local tax revenues by more than $48 million
But wait, there's more.
- The permanent increase in stable oil supplies the Keystone XL creates will add more than 250,000 permanent jobs for U.S. workers and add more than $100 billion in annual total expenditures to the U.S. economy.
- Stimulate over 50,300 person years of employment in Texas – a combination of construction and spin-off jobs (one person year of employment is the equivalent of one full-time job for one year).
And this study is brought to you by…Transcanada.
On the other hand, all the oil could hightail it over to China.
Propaganda comes in all shapes and sizes. Guess we'll have to wait and see which study is more "studious."

Dominic Oyango Wandolo has been sentenced to four years in prison for robbing a Fort Street jewelry store last April.
Wandolo, 27, pleaded guilty part-way through his trial to robbing Paul Mara Jewellers on the morning of April 26, 2012, and to using an imitation firearm while committing the robbery.
On Thursday, B.C. Supreme Court Justice Malcolm Macaulay sentenced Wandolo to three years for the robbery and imposed a one-year consecutive sentence for the use of the imitation firearm. Macaulay credited Wandolo with the 323 days he has already spent in custody, meaning he must serve another three years and 42 days in prison.
Wandolo's co-accused, Michael Jacob Werner, pleaded guilty at the start of the trial. He will be sentenced this morning.
The trial heard that Werner and Wandolo were buzzed into the store around 10:30 a.m.
Werner brandished a pistol and threatened Douglas and Marsha Mara. He ordered them and an employee to get on the ground. Then, using a baton, Werner smashed display cases. Wandolo followed behind, grabbing more than $300,000 worth of jewelry and watches and placing them in a bag.
Douglas Mara, who was in the Canadian Armed Forces for 17 years, got to his feet and bodychecked Werner into one of the display cases. Mara was hanging onto Werner when Wandolo pepper-sprayed him.
Werner and Wandolo ran from store, through downtown, where they were spotted by several people. Within an hour, police knocked on their door at the Bedford Regency Hotel. the pair escaped through a window and onto the roof, where they were arrested.
The robbery was frightening and psychologically devastating for the Maras, Macaulay said. Both have lost their trust in people and fear another violent robbery might happen again.
Although they had hoped to pass their family-run business onto their daughter, she no longer comes to the store, Macaulay said. Douglas and Marsha used to work side by side, but they no longer work together because of safety concerns.
Macaulay found the violent nature of the robbery, the vulnerability of the people in the store, the threats and the high value of the jewelry and watches to be aggravating circumstances in the case. Also, Wandolo was on bail and on probation, with conditions not to possess weapons, at the time of the offence.
Wandolo, who has a criminal record with six convictions for violence, had been released from jail a few days earlier. On April 25, when he was supposed to be reporting to his probation officer, he was in Victoria planning the robbery with Werner, Macaulay noted.
Wandolo was born in Kenya and came to Canada in 1987. He came from a good family. His father is a doctor, his mother works at a university.
No doubt Wandolo had educational opportunities, Macaulay said. Instead, he focused on crime, alcohol and drugs in his adult years.
Macaulay found the mitigating circumstances to be Wandolo's relatively young age, his statement to police after the robbery, his guilty pleas and the fact that he did not handle the gun.
On Wednesday at Wandolo's sentencing hearing, defence lawyer Mike Munro told the court that his client will be deported when he finishes his sentence.
"It is most unfortunate that through the inaction of his parents, he never got status in this country," Munro said.
Wandolo knows he has no one to blame but himself, Munro said. "But he will be dropped on the streets of Nairobi when he finishes his sentence. … He is a young man with a most uncertain future."

From landfills and laboratories to archeological digs and deep space
The Columbus Dispatch - June 18, 2013 02:28 PM
Here is your big chance to play Bruce Willis in Armageddon .
NASA announced today a "grand challenge" focused on finding "all asteroid threats to human populations and knowing what to do about them."
This is a call to all professional and citizen scientists around the world to find asteroid threats and figure out what to do with those that threaten Earth.
The challenge was announced at NASA Headquarters in Washington, where officials said the effort will use "multi-disciplinary collaborations and a variety of partnerships with other government agencies, international partners, industry, academia and citizen scientists."
The space agency recently announced a mission to redirect an asteroid and send humans to study
it. (If you remember in
, a mission was announced to send humans to an asteroid and, well, blow it up.)
"NASA already is working to find asteroids that might be a threat to our planet, and while
we have found 95 percent of the large asteroids near the Earth's orbit, we need to find all
those that might be a threat to Earth," said NASA Deputy Administrator Lori Garver in a press
"This Grand Challenge is focused on detecting and characterizing asteroids and learning how to
deal with potential threats. We will also harness public engagement, open innovation and citizen
science to help solve this global problem."

Do you really need to go to college? If your heart's not in it, you can't find a field of study that excites you, and your college degree doesn't help your job prospects, the answer may be no. But what can you do without a college degree? Plenty, as it turns out. And there's also plenty you can do that requires putting your brain to good use. Whatever you do, just don't end up like John Blutarsky (the character played by John Belushi in Animal House), who said when he got susupended: "Six years of college down the drain!" And then there was Dorfman, who was admonished, "Fat, drunk, and stupid is no way to go through life, son."
My grandfather, Allison Sr., was a tradesman. Born in 1909, he came of age just about the time the Great Depression hit and had to take whatever work he could get to help support his family. The second oldest of five boys, he took that responsibility seriously. His older brother, my Uncle T., also worked in the trades, but the younger three were able to go to college and get white collar jobs.
Although his younger brothers made more money than he did, but he was never anything but content with the life he was living and the work he was doing. He was an electrician, plumber, and HVAC contractor. Integrity and responsibility were more important to him than status or money.
When an emergency call came in late at night or on a Sunday, he put on his work clothes and went out to help. He knew his trades, he enjoyed his work, and he was happy with the life he created for himself and his family. As one of the direct beneficiaries of his life and his work, I have the utmost respect for how he lived and for people in the trades in general.
Pap-paw was a tradesman. He didn't go to college. He didn't put on fancy clothes to go to work. He wore khaki pants and a khaki shirt every day except Sunday. Yeah, he got dirty and sweaty working outside and in hot Louisiana attics, but he was doing something that people needed and he was good at what he did.
I was lucky and got to spend two months each summer through my teen years being a gofer for him and my uncle. I probably got as much education in those two months than I did in the nine months I was in school. I'm also honored to share the same name with such a great man.
Pap-paw didn't need a college education to ply his trade, but he certainly needed a lot of knowledge. He understood compressors, blowers, the refrigeration cycle, tools, materials, and much more. I don't know much about the early years of his career and how he learned all that he knew, but I imagine he took advantage of all the training and education opportunities he could find.
As a Frigidaire dealer when he was part of Bailes Brothers, he no doubt got plenty of training from Frigidaire. Today, all or most of the big companies in the trades offer different kinds of training. Mitsubishi has a lot of different types of training for designers, installers, and service techs of their mini-split heat pumps. Want to learn hydronic distribution systems? Check out the training opportunities with Taco FloPro. They have a beautiful new training center in Rhode Island that I hope to visit soon.
If you want training in a trade, it's out there. It's a really exciting time to be working in the trades, in my opinion, because there's some much cool new technology and a lot of new thinking is being applied to them as well.
For example, in the world of construction and mechanical systems, building science is changing the way we look at buildings. Traditional education and training programs are incorporating building science. There are also new certifications that complement the traditional: RESNET Home Energy Rater, BPI Building Analyst... The knowledge is available. I hear some blogs even give it away for free!
This past Friday, 21 September, was National Tradesmen Day. We have huge needs in this country, and we also having an aging workforce in the trades. If you want opportunities, they're available in spades in the trade. There are a lot of workers who think that doing things the way they've always done them is the recipe for success. There's a lot of bad work out there as a result. See Exhibit A, this odd duct system I wrote about last week. (This may well have been a DIY job, but still, someone's gotta fix that crap.)
We need people who understand how things work, have the mechanical aptitude to make them work, and are willing to get to work. These are jobs that can't be outsourced. We need people right here at home to do them.
I can't say this any better than Mike Rowe, the host of the show Dirty Jobs. On the Go Build Georgia website, you can watch some great videos where he makes the case for working in the trades. Go watch the videos! Really. They're well worth it. The title of this article is a quote from the Alternative Education video on that page.
Let me end on a personal note. You may wonder why you should listen to some guy with a PhD in physics telling you to consider skipping college. Yes, I got a bachelors degree and then went to school for another seven years. If I'd found the world of building science when I was younger, though, I may well have foregone some or all of that graduate education.
I don't need a PhD in physics to do what I do now. The physics background is indeed handy, but aside from the training in how to think that I got in grad school, I don't use any of the advanced education I got there.
If you want a college degree (or 2 or 3 or 4), by all means do it. But don't do it because you feel like that's the path you have to follow, that without a degree, your prospects will be limited. Do you think Bill Gates or Steve Jobs felt like their prospects were limited because they didn't have degrees? They didn't work in the trades, which may mean that the kind of opportunities they found in computers are still available there.

F. Scott Fitzgerald was credited with saying, "The test of first-rate intelligence is the ability to hold two opposed ideas in the mind at the same time and still retain the ability to function." My mind is being tested currently with the concept of intrapreneurship. Until about a week or so ago, I was convinced that the concepts of entrepreneurship could (and should) be applied on a daily basis within any organization…large or small. This was my line of thought until recently when…:
- While attending the AoM conference in Boston, I was lucky enough to hear Jay Barney speak during a discussion on the topic of innovation within larger companies. He prefaced his comments by telling us that he was going to be the "curmudgeon" on the topic and then proceeded to state large companies should stick to what they are good at and that is "exploiting economies of scale". Innovating, from his perspective, should be left to the smaller and more agile companies that are built to do it.
- I read an article by Dan Schawbel titled "How Big Companies are Becoming Entrepreneurial". In it Dan provides several examples of large organizations striving to re-ignite the entrepreneurial flame
- Then this morning, I read "The myth of the 'entrepreneurial' employee" by Kathleen Reynolds Lewis and she brought up the "culture" issue and rightly so because that is the core of the argument…I think?
I am not sure exactly what I think at this point but I can tell you what I believe. The foundations of entrepreneurship should be employed by folks each and every day and if we all did that (regardless of the size of the company we worked in), our economy would not be in the mess it is.
What are your thoughts?

One of our awesome Facebook fans Sarah Higdon-Lopez commented on Robert's post and that lead to the question of how do you find a photographer to be a 2nd shooter and how much should you pay them?
When you commit to photographing a couple's wedding, you're taking on a huge responsibility. Having a 2nd shooter there is a great way to make sure you capture all of those special moments. They're also a great backup incase you miss a shot or have an equipment failure. Sarah's husband has shot with her in the past but if you don't have a spouse with the "skills to pay the bills" how do you find a quality photographer to help you out?
The first thing you need to do is to be honest with yourself and evaluate your skills and experience level. Sarah is a new photographer to the scene so it might be a good idea to try and find someone that has a little more experience shooting weddings. Start by contacting other local photographers. Search online or look in your Yellow Pages for photographers specializing in weddings and contact them to discuss your needs. Some may not want to get involved because of the whole "competition thing" but I'm sure you'll find many who are happy to help out, especially if they're not busy on the dates you need them.
Once you've found a few, set up a time to meet with them. Go grab some coffee at a local diner or something, and keep the meeting light and friendly. This isn't about competition, it's about camaraderie. Ask them to bring their portfolio for your to take a look at and spend some time just shooting the breeze. After an hour together looking through their work and talking, you'll have a pretty good idea if they'll fit with your photographic style and personality.
If all seems good ask if they have any gigs lined up that you could tag along to (they may be hesitant but it's worth asking). The proof is in the pudding and the only way to know how someone works is by watching them work. You can go as part of their crew but just be a fly on the wall. Dress appropriately, hang back and watch. Stick around long enough for the formal shots and part of the reception. You want to see how they interact with the bride and groom as well as the other guests.
At this point you'll know if they're the right person to add to your team, now it's a matter of money. How much should you pay them for their time?
As a 2nd shooter they don't have the responsibility of managing the full wedding, their only responsibility is to shoot. Provide them with memory cards for their camera so all they have to do is give them back to you at the end of the wedding. You need to agree up front that the images belong to you under your copyright. If you want to work something out with them so they could use a few images for their portfolio, that's up to you.
You could either pay them by the hour or by the job, but either way you'll want to start out figuring what you can afford to pay them per hour. How many hours is the couple booking you for and will you need the 2nd shooter the entire time? You also have to look at the couple's budget. Are they going for a bare bones package or something with a little more wiggle room to pay for a 2nd shooter?
A reasonable rate for an experienced freelancer who is using their own gear would be between $50 – $75 per hour. If you were supplying all the gear you may be able to go more towards the lower side. If you need the 2nd shooter for 10 hours you're looking between $500 and $750 for the day. In the grand scheme of things this really is a small price to pay for experience and security. More experienced photographers may want a higher per hour or day rate, so you'll have to evaluate those factors to see if you really need all that experience on your team.
Many less experienced photographers are more than happy working for a lower hourly rate or even for free just to get some experience. If you feel confident in your skills and have enough experience shooting weddings, this may be a very cost effective approach to take. Check with you local camera clubs and post a request on your social networks, you'll be surprised how many photographers will respond.
If you'd like to offer some suggestions or experiences you've had in hiring a second shooter, please feel free to join the discussion and add you comments below.
Thanks for this helpful article. I usually find my second shooters through photographer meetups and networks, like Photog Shootout groups. I believe it should be a person who has their own photography business and is at your experience level (if you are charging the client for 2 photographers). It is also important that their style of shooting is in line with your own. Lastly, it should be someone you wouldn't mind spending 8 straight hours with, plus all the driving time if you carpool! I also recommend having them come second shoot at an engagement session first (where you are just having them along to see how they work and what type of shots they yield). You can refer your second shooters to this list so they know what their boundaries are. http://www.momtog.com/2010/06/how-to-be-a-good-second-shooter/

So Mr. Roosevelt Petry of the EDC board wants to know where I have been? Well I've been right here. For the last 16 years I have watched the EDC take millions of dollars from our citizens.
Just after I took office and with the help of our staff and our auditors I was able to persuade the EDC's third director to start keeping books. It was astonishing to me that for so many years the EDC spent millions of dollars and kept no records of its spending or of the results.
It is also incredible that the EDC was not investigating the backgrounds of those they gave money to or the companies they bought into. That negligence resulted in millions in losses, the outright theft of $500 thousand and the bribery of an EDC employee. Two folks faced criminal charges over that theft and fortunately for our taxpayers, the money was recovered. A simple background check would have prevented that. I'm still not satisfied that the EDC even knows the identities of all the people to whom it gives money today.
I certainly know about the theft and the bribery. I was there when an interview with the first witness uncovered it. I was also there when the auditors reported that the Economic Development Corporation passed its first audit in years. Being the spearhead for the Council in making that happen I appreciated that small measure of success.
Mr. Petry mentioned $32 million in new commercial property on our tax rolls. That is indeed a big number. But that number is only half of the story and so we need another number. That second number is the cost to the tax payer. You see, when you concentrate your attention on only the benefits and you don't consider the cost, I say you have lost your focus.
So let us focus on the cost number. That number is $47 million. That is an even bigger number. Actually more than $47 million has poured into the EDC in the last 16 years. $47 million is 47 miles of new streets. It is countless miles of new water and sewer lines, sidewalks, or the repair of every pothole in the city with plenty left over.
Mr. Petry points out that the $32 million in new commercial property adds to the city's revenue. It does indeed. It produces an annual tax contribution of $256 thousand. So we traded 47 miles of new streets for less than three blocks of streets per year. Congratulations. The new tax revenue will pave 47 miles of new streets in only 188 years. I worry that our citizens don't really think their $47 million was a good investment.
Every time I bring up the EDC I get hammered. The first thing said is that I should not be criticizing the EDC's board of directors. These folks are volunteers who only want what is best for the city and I should not be talking bad about them or about the EDC. Some board members really are volunteers who neither seek nor want a personal benefit from their service. I thank those folks sincerely for their time and effort to make our community a better place to live. About other board members I have questions and concerns. We will be talking about that later.
But when we talk about the EDC and money, I don't consider "who" as much as "what". The strategy won't work. The methods won't work, and creating new property taxes using sales tax dollars will always be a drain on our resources. It will never produce a benefit. The numbers just don't add up. The EDC would have to generate $650 million dollars in new commercial property just to pay for itself. That is more that half a billion dollars in new commercial property just to pay for the EDC.
Now is the time to start some serious discussions about the future of the EDC. During the next 16 years the EDC will spend $80 million, maybe more. It will spend more than $10 million just to run its own operations and that figure could rise to $15 million or more if the Council approves the new EDC offices downtown. You can call it a restructure or an overhaul, or whatever you want to. Regardless of what you call it, a major change at the EDC must take place if the EDC is to stay in business.
The Mercer Group said we have to start measuring things. Our citizens heard that and they want to see some measurements. They want to know who really benefits from EDC money. They want to know how many businesses failed after receiving EDC money. They want to know where the promised 1,200 high paying jobs are. The 53,000 citizens who sacrificed 47 million dollars and all the city services that money would have provided want to know these things. Mr. Petry said it himself: "the light is on and you can't hide now."

This time around, Belle (Billie Piper) is hired by a couple (Heather Bleasdale, Jonathan Phillips) that wants to explore wife-swapping for their 20th wedding anniversary. Thing is, Belle needs a male partner in order to be able to fulfill her clients' needs, and after interviewing a few applicants, she ends up with Ben (Iddo Goldberg), her own best friend whom she has told about her being a hooker only recently, and who still tries to come to terms with it, and he thinks supporting her this way would help ... even though he's only weeks away from his own wedding. This gives Belle a bad consience, but she still doesn't turn him down. In the end though, nothing happens, Belle's clients only have sex with each other (in front of Belle and Ben), and Ben and Belle can't but watch.
Disappointing episode that letsa fairly interesting start culminate in a anticlimactic finale without really telling too much of a story in between. Pity.

"Not Happy with the quality"
2.0 starson by Emrys7976Pros: Nice price on Sale
Cons: Have had to return 2 due to dead pixels
Summary: I'm giving this a poor rating because i'm in the process of returning my second one for a dead pixel problem. These were on sale at the local Best Buy and I couldn't pass up the price, but having Red Dots in the middle of the screen is not making me happy.
On the other hand the quality and response are great for my needs, but a 20% fault rate (store had 10 in stock, I got 2 both with dead pixels) I can't give it a high rating

WWE's Fake Jeff Hardy Car Accident Storyline Crosses Line
If you watched Smackdown this Friday night, no doubt you saw the ridiculous storyline featuring a fake car accident in which current WWE Champion Jeff Hardy and his fiance Beth were allegedly involved in.
The angle was that they were involved in some sort of hit-and-run accident where someone hit them from behind and took off. I've read the Internet rumors this week regarding the possibility that this angle (as well as the Jeff Hardy hotel incident) might have been done to bring in former TNA star and WWE veteran, Christian.
I have no issue with using a dramatic storyline to bring back a big-name Superstar. My issue is with the WWE's persistance of relying on poor gimmicks in an attempt to try to bring "reality" to their programing.
I understand that a large portion of the WWE's audience are children but that in and of itself might create another issue with these sort of things. I'm certain there were probably children at the live event who actually thought that their hero was actually injured.
I feel that the WWE needs to do a much better job at playing up the real injuries and stay away from building up these fake ones.
Remember when Randy Orton legitimately broke his collarbone against Triple H at One Night Stand? The WWE did almost nothing regarding this injury in terms of building up any kind of rivalry between the two Superstars.
Now I realize that Triple H got drafted to Smackdown, but they could have easily mentioned it when The Legacy faced Triple H and Batista on Raw a month ago.
Instead, the WWE creates fake injuries like Jeff's car accident and play them up to the hilt while ignoring the potential that real-life injuries could bring to the table.
To me, there's something wrong with the irony of that situation.

That Montana Guy Lied About Being Gay Bashed
By Joseph Alexiou
Joseph Baken, of Billings, Montana, is a liar. Starting early Monday, photos of the 22 year-old with a battered eye and lip circulated around Facebook, Tumblr, and the social media world accompanied by the story of his being attacked by homophobes outside of a club — Baken told Billings police he was attacked late Sunday evening outside of the Missoula Club on Main Street, where he was celebrating his birthday.
Turns out that Baken was performing "Olympic style" backflips off of a curb on Main Street, when he smashed his face into the ground (sustaining minor injury). He then decided to follow one stupid idea with another one, particularly telling police that he was gay bashed. After a video of his acrobatics emerged, Baken admitted to police that it was fake. He's since been fined $300 and a 180 day suspended jail sentence. One reported from NBC Montana who helped report the whole story from the beginning, was shaken up by this:
"When I received news of (the videotape), I had a hard time sleeping," Mayer said. "It seemed like such a big story, in light of the significance to the gay community and to the community as a whole.
Frankly, Baken's behavior is reprehensible. The last thing the gay community of Billings — not to mention all of the United States — needs are false cries of wolf about homophobic behavior. We should save that for, you know, the real thing. The quesiton of why Baken engaged in this practice, aside from youthful ignorance, could be some pent-up anger about what it's like to be gay in Billings. Still, no excuse for an unwarrented sounding the alarm bells. It's foolish and makes us look stupid. Stop doing it.

Festival of Cartoon Art notes: Roz Chast
Roz Chast began selling cartoons to the New Yorker in 1978. She's been a fixture in the publication ever since. Her presentation was a gallery of some of her best work over her amazing career.
- Roz Chast: It would be great to draw one cartoon a week & get published, but the reality each cartoonist sends in what is called their batch of forty or so cartoons and only one or two is selected. Lots of rejection.
- Roz Chast: recounting her 1st cartoon in New Yorker. A cartoon she didn't think anyone would find funny. Within a year she had a contract.
- Roz Chast: now showing a slideshow of cartoons. Great stuff.
- Q: Do you ever resubmit cartoons that were rejected? Roz: Sure after time. A lot of times I can come back to a gag months later and find a way to make it better and then resubmit it.

Channing is a registered charity. It is now possible to use our direct and secure online donation pages to make a gift to Channing School.
In the Summer of 2013 Channing will embark on its most ambitious development programme ever. Click here for more....
Politics at Channing
At Channing, Politics is offered in the Sixth Form for both AS and A2 level. The aim of the course is to introduce girls to the study of government: how it operates, how it is organised, how politicians are elected. We also consider the role of the government and its relationship with the electorate; how relevant are the political institutions at the heart of government?
Partisan politics: Year 13 Politics students and their teachers
Key Stage 5 (A'Level)
The examination board for A'Level Politics is Edexcel. At AS level, the focus is on contemporary British politics, including the role of political parties, Parliament, pressure groups and the European Union.
Girls in Year 13 sat their A2 unit 3c module in January 2010.
At A2 level, the girls study:
American politics, including political parties, civil rights, the role of Congress, the Supreme Court and the President.
Global politics: terrorism, war, human rights, globalisation, the war on terror.
Outside the classroom
Channing is ideally situated close to the heart of the British political system - Westminster. Girls studying AS Politics start the course in September with a visit to the Houses of Parliament, where they meet and talk with an MP, have a tour of both Houses and learn about the traditions of Westminster.
Channing also has a Politics Society, where girls in both Years 12 and 13 meet in an informal setting to discuss important issues of the day.
The Politics Department also takes girls to Brussels to visit the European Parliament and to meet MEPs. We have also been fortunate to welcome a range of speakers to Channing, including a human rights judge, a leading barrister and a member of the House of Lords.
The Sixth Formers also visited New York, where they took in a range of sites, including the United Nations.
Last term, several girls in Year 12 attended a Cameron Direct meeting at a nearby school, where they took part in a question-and-answer session with Conservative Party leader David Cameron. One student asked Mr Cameron a question about nuclear power. Later this month, all the girls in Year 12 will be attending a pre-Election hustings conference in Central London.

Spectrum Pacific Publishing managing director Benjamin Slabak has announced the launch of Australia's first digital comic book publisher, Cloud 9 Comix -- and its initial focus seems firmly on publishing independent titles and independent creators.
Spectrum Pacific Publishing, founded by Benjamin Slabak in 1996 in Sydney, Australia, developed and published over 30 computer games and moved into print publishing in 2009. It quickly moved toward digital publishing in 2010, with plans to release comic books, magazines, books, as well as casual games for iPad, iPhone, Kindle, Blackberry and Android devices.
The project's line up features titles from Italy, France, Croatia, India, Argentina, Australia, USA and many other countries, with a number of titles fully translated and adapted into English language for the very first time.
"We are big fans of the international comic book scene and we will bring a number of classic Italian fumetti, French BD, as well as titles from Asia and South America to the digital platform, starting with the iPad and following up with Android and other platforms in the coming months", says Mr Slabak.
Cloud 9 is also backing indie creator. "We will work with and support independent comic book authors and small publishers in making their titles available to an audience that's wider than ever before," he enthuses.
"A myriad of digital tablets and e-reader devices are slated for release during 2011 and we expect the digital comic book scene to experience a boom in 2011".
The iPad app, codenamed Silver Lining, available now as a free download from iTunes, was developed internally by SPP and features a store-front that lists the available comics, previews of each comic, and a handy shelf feature where the purchased comics are stored and easily accessed.
SPP say the simplicity of use of the app is one of its strengths and the comic book fans will surely enjoy flipping between the pages of the many comic books and graphic novels available in the store, with a number of free ones available to download.
Cloud 9 Comix has also collected the best of Australian comic book titles under its brand and titles such as Dark Detective: Sherlock Holmes (published by New South Wales-based publisher Blackhouse Comics), Vienna, Dark Nebula, Southern Squadron, The Wraith, and others, which are already available for purchase in the Cloud 9 Comix iPad store.
Explaining the decision to launching first with an iPad app, Slabak points to the quality and clarity of comics on the device. "It's perfect for comic books and it allows one to take their comic book collection with them and read them on the go.
"With most comics priced between $0.99 and $1.99 USD,' he adds, "it has never been more affordable to get back into the wonderful world of comics and graphic novels. Our catalogue offers something for everyone, with new titles being added on regular basis".
Partners in the project include small publishers and independent studios such as Texas-based Red Handed Studios, publishers of Dynagirl; Ratti Entertainment, Chicago-based Spinner Rack Comics, Blackhouse Comics, Bangalore-based Level 10 Comics, publishers of Jump Magazine, Azure Press, publishers of Acolyte Chronicles, superheroine publisher Heroic Publishing, Cinemacomics, Urban Style Comics, Vimanika Comics and more.
SPP say their catalogue now features over 150 unique titles from all six continents. They also plan to publish in Italian, Spanish, German, Croatian and other languages.
"We're excited about launching Cloud 9 Comix and look very much forward to building our brand and reaching new audiences with much content never before accessible on the global scale," says Slabak. "This is an opportunity for independent authors and publishers to show their labour of love to the world which would not be possible without the digital platform", says Mr Slabak.
"I invite everyone with an iPad to download our free app and sample some of the comic book titles available from us."

The birth of a geographical indication system for Mexican cheeses--boots on the ground
September 27, 2012 - 7:44pm | by VeroniqueThis the second part to my two-part exploration of geographical indications in Mexico. The first part is here.
Armed with knowledge about the areas of the law described in my last post, an understanding of the people and cheesemakers of Mexico, and a tenacious spirit, Carlos Yescas is working toward a system that will recognize the traditional cheeses of Mexico and give them the status similar to that of the AOC system in France.
The birth of a geographical indication system for Mexican cheeses (Yes, this is cool!)
September 18, 2012 - 6:30pm | by VeroniqueAs some of you may know, by day, I am a trademark/copyright lawyer. It's not every day that I get to go into detail about BOTH cheese and trademark law with the same person, so imagine my delight at speaking with Carlos Yescas, co-owner of Lactography whose name regularly crops up on Culture. Lactography's team, consisting of experts in accounting, logistics, food production, and safety, among other fields, is largely devoted to promoting artisanal Mexican cheeses in the United States. Outside of the cheese world, he is a trained lawyer (in Ireland) and is currently working toward his doctorate degree at the New School for Social Research in New York City.
Global Cuisine in Mexican Hands
January 27, 2012 - 8:50pm | by wfertmanReposting a video that came my way via Carlos Yescas: a rather pointed reminder of who's cooking in the kitchen.
Not only are Mexican immigrants supplying raw labor in restaurants in California—and around the country—but they're applying their skills to the dishes as master craftsmen. I'm reminded of Anthony Bourdain's typically unvarnished praise from Kitchen Confidential:

Salaam Namaste RTains...
To the # 22th paradise of Rajat Tokas. We all may know him as Prithvi from Prithviraj Chauhan or Veer from Dharam Veer, but today, RT has made a name for himself in the industry. Today he doesn't need any "Veer or Prithvi" to get an image...cus he is Rajat Tokas...Rajat....our RT.
Rajat Tokas
Background -
Rajat was born on 19th July 1993(confirmed from his CBSE Board Results) in Munirka, South Delhi to Ramvir and Pramila Tokas. He studied in the Hopes Hall Foundation School, R.K. Puram, Delhi. Due to his hectic schedule as an actor, he began studying through correspondence. His father encouraged him to pursue acting as his career, when he started showing some interest in the field. Apart from being an actor, Tokas is also a national level swimmer and very intelligent
Tokas has other works apart from Prithviraj Chauhan. His main works are Jadui Chiraag, Light House For Children, Bango, Mera Dost, Rahul, Ek Nazar Ki Tamanna, Hey Hawain, Khoj Khajane Ki, Abhivyakti and Saibaba. He and his co-star, Mugdha Chapekar, got a breakthrough when they both appeared in Dharti Ka Veer Yodha Prithviraj Chauhan on Star Plus.Now Tokas is working in a new serial 'Dharam Veer' in which he plays the role of 'Veer' on NDTV Imagine. Initially in Prithviraj Chauhan, Tokas was meant to appear for limited time of 5-6 episodes. When the show's popularity increased, so did their roles. They appeared in over 150 episodes in more than a year.
Currently, Tokas is working in new NDTV serial called Dharam Veer, with Mugdha chapekar as a co-star. He plays the role of Veer, a cousin brother and best friend of the King's son, Dharam.

Thanks to: Wikipedia
Some IMPORTANT rules:
This is the last time, please no more "Hi's", "What's Up" please. This is a discussion thread for RT, and let it remain so. Please remember that this thread is to discuss personal information about RT that should ideally not be posted as separate threads on the forum. However, this thread tends to get filled up very fast... Remember it's the quality not the quantity that matters. So please let's not fill the pages with personal his/hellos/greetings and personal chat. If anyone notices such, please do inform one of the development team members. Please let's strive to post useful information about the actor. Let's maintain this thread to be an official RT album and ensure it doesn't become like a chat thread. So please let's keep it neat and clean in that manner so everyone can be proud of it. I hope I have not hurt anyone's sentiments
Kinds of replies that would not be encouraged here -> Hello, Who is here?, I have to leave now, Where is so-and-so?, Where is everyone?, posts discussing about what members did that day/that evening.... all these are chat posts and please don't fill up the RT fan thread with such posts... I request one or two members to take up responsibility to deter other members from posting such posts... or report to the development team if someone is posting such replies...
Information about his looks, his behaviour, his interviews, his dressing sense, his preferences, his education, basically anything personal... but not too personal either...
A few things to remember:
1) Lets not go very *ahem* on his personal traits in our discussions about the handsome guy ... lest he comes here to read it and gets embarrassed and runs away or something...
2) Most importantly let's not post anything bad about any of the other actors or post replies that might hurt other members. If any of the posts are such, please pm one of the development team members to let them know...
3) Please dont get carried away to chat or spam about stuff other than RT...
4) Please please please please please please please, only chat and talk about Rajat here
Lots of love

Product Details
Would you like to update product info or give feedback on images? |
I saw the last 10 minutes of this flick on my local Tv and when I saw the lead girl I thought wow she's a beauty.
She was getting stripped and painted with blood to prepare her to be the cannibals godness and to sent her to her dead husband who she was looking.
When I saw that the flick was avaliable on Dvd I immediatly ordered.It has a good and reasonable prize and was full of extras and contains the restored version of the film uncut and uncensored.
Susan Stevenson(Andress) fly to New Guinea to find her missing husband who were on a expedition to find a sacred mountain full of cannibals and uranium.
The British consulate refuses helping her because of political issues,they led to a mysterious man Dr Edward Foster(a young Stacy Keach) a colleague of her husband and former expiditioner.
She convinces him to help her and organizes a expedition to find her husband.
When there they are attacked by animals,traps and loose all their men until they met Manolo and saves Susan from a cannibal.
In a helpful village they rested until another cannibal and former expeditioner kills a native girl and hurts Edward on his knee.
Instead of this flaw he decides to go further after the villagers expulse them from the village.
In the climb in the waterfalls Arthur doesn't help Edward and he feels down and dies.
When Manolo knows the true intentions of the mission they are captured by the cannibals.
The cannibals kills Arthur and eat all his flesh and keep Manolo tied up.
Finally they escaped via the river.
Another thing -- everyone that's crying about the animal violence should grow-up and get a life. If you've seen this or other cannibal-themed films, you knew well before about the scenes with animals. Why don't you quit posting your PETA propaganda and find some leather jackets to slash.
