Right now let's take a look at media coverage of the Democratic Convention.
Striking some as a little too -- toward President Obama and the A list speakers we heard this week for example.
CBS news' bill -- the White House correspondent calling the president quote.
One of the greatest orators of his generation.
CNN's John King chimes in saying the DNC gave us a home run derby of speeches.
And in an interview with Caroline Kennedy CBS Norah O'Donnell and Charlie Rose talked about the Kennedy magic.
That seemed to transfer to President Obama.
So let's get into that with FOX News Watch panel of -- -- Judith Miller.
Pulitzer Prize winning investigative reporter and author.
Also Cal Thomas syndicated columnist both are Fox News contributors so so what did you think to the media go overboard in their in their admiration of what the Democrats -- Now when I was a -- we would say is the Pope Catholic yes I mean there were first of all there was just a lot as a coverage John.
You had 151000.
To cover 5000.
So I just don't even know how those four delegates got a chance to do anything.
Except kind of be interviewed all day.
But it was -- but come on this is a show it's a spectacle the Republicans had a good week last week.
This was the democratic -- but this was -- Over the top but mean a little over the top yeah.
That was the tone between the Republican Convention and Democrat wasn't.
News was at the -- well let me first say that Judy you're still a girl -- always be in my -- What -- look I think the media moved out of the tank.
Into the bedroom.
I mean there's absolutely nothing that Obama can do that is wrong or questionable for example.
Brian Williams of NBC.
Was all over the Republican platform wondering why didn't have the exception for rape and incest on the abortion question.
But the democratic platform he raised no questions about abortion on demand even partial birth abortion.
There were no confrontational questions on the social issues matter fact the only one with -- any guts of the Democratic Convention.
Was cardinal Timothy Dolan of New York who got up and give a pro life prayer I was surprised they didn't -- and after all they'd already -- god.
-- we heard a lot about -- god and Jerusalem issues from the press and the press.
Is more than just broadcast media the press also happens to be print journalism.
And eight.
And that they promised and they compared it to reality and it was a rather harsh indictment of the -- She let me give you one great moment this was what I would call Chris Matthews of -- -- NBC's Joseph Biden moment here's what he said.
I always figured -- Bill Clinton landed on Mars he would know how to do it with them he would know how to reproduce he would know everything.
How this is said interest being.
Comment I've been -- baby this is the next generation of democratic voters.
Well it's sending Bill Clinton -- having fathered children -- The -- -- it's consistent with chris' thrill up the play and that's talking about different parts of the and that.
-- Clinton did didn't do a good jobs spoke for fifty minutes I mean it was even longer than is 1988 speech that was so pan.
-- it was very Wong tee and it was really extraordinary and I just wonder.
And -- -- thinking about the independent voter out there are all one million of them left in the eight swing states.
When they listen to a 4050.
Minute recitation like that and they look at the guy and they look at his candor and say -- Fact I think can you reckon -- can't.
Are there are the media pressing.
You know -- the president's speech was not filled with details -- are the media pressing you know where's the -- No of course not followers would be that -- Bob back where -- Eleanor Mondale line yeah that was that was great to other or not they don't press in the same way because.
They are mostly in favor of the issues that the Democrats are -- But I will notice point out one little thing did you notice when that Bill Clinton hugged President Obama.
His face was to the camera and the presidents was obscured I don't think that was sequential.
-- interest in it and we'll have to look into that more deeply Cal Thomas Judith Miller it's good to have you both you can join our panelists then leave for FOX News Watch this weekend.
Will be talking more about how the media -- not covered the party's conventions and the race for the White House that Saturday afternoon to third.

More than one in 10 Fortune 500 companies still have computers infected with DNSChanger malware, according to estimates by Internet security firm IID.
The firm also estimated that around four percent of "major US Government" agencies also still have infected machines, a figure which has been steady for almost three months.
DNSChanger redirected legitimate searches by computer users to malicious sites via rogue DNS servers.
US authorities have interim control of the rogue DNS servers but expect to shut them down on July 9, after which infected computers won't be able to connect to the Internet.
The number of infections has been slowly reducing over the past few months. However, it is expected up to 300,000 Internet users worldwide could face connection problems when the DNS servers are switched off next week.
It remains unclear whether the FBI will be granted a further extension by a US Court to operate the DNS servers while infections continue to be identified and removed.
Six Estonian nationals have been arrested and are currently subject to extradition procedures to face charges in the United States over DNSChanger.

A Cirrus SR20 crashed approximately two miles from Danbury Airport in Central Connecticut last night, and all three occupants walked away, though their airplane was held up for a while. (Initial reports had reported that it was an SR22, but those reports turned out to be inaccurate.)
According to reports in the local papers, the CFI flying the airplane with two passengers reported "an unspecified" mechanical problem and deployed the Cirrus' whole airplane recovery parachute, which did its job, lowering the airframe at a survivable rate of descent. The accident took place early at night, but it was a very dark night, and the terrain surrounding Danbury is hilly and wooded, an inhospitable place for a forced landing even during the daytime.
The cause of the delay in retrieving the airplane was that the parachute got hung up in tree limbs as it descended, but it was low enough to the ground that the occupants were able to exit the airplane unaided. Photographs of the crash site show the Cirrus in a nose-low position with the nose crushed but the remainder of the airframe looking largely intact, except for the tail missing post recovery. Emergency responders later cut power to nearby electrical lines and freed the airplane. No one on the ground was hurt. The three occupants were treated at the scene for non-life threatening injuries.
The NTSB is investigating the accident.
Correction: A previous version of this story identified the airplane as a Cirrus SR22. It was in fact a Cirrus SR20, a variant of the same type.
(Thanks for Flying reader Bob Gardner for the timely tip.)

More than two years on from the worst nuclear disaster in a quarter of a century, the situation at Japan's stricken Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant remains toxic, prompting the Japanese government to announce new measures to attempt to deal with radioactive leaks.
The plant's operator, Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO), has been criticized for its handling of the disaster, with the country's Trade and Industry Minister, Toshimitsu Motegi, comparing its stopgap approach to a game of "Whack-a-mole." The government has now stepped in and pledged $470 million to try to tackle the leaks, through measures which by its own admission are unconventional and untested.
How did we reach this point?
When the 2011 tsunami swamped the plant, located 149 miles (240 kilometers) north of Tokyo on Japan's eastern seaboard, it cut the power to vital cooling systems for the three reactors in use at the time, resulting in the second-worst nuclear accident in history after Chernobyl in 1986, as the reactors melted down and leaked radioactive material into the atmosphere.
TEPCO has since been pumping huge volumes of water into the plant -- hundreds of tons daily -- to cool the crippled reactors that once powered the plant.
This water, which becomes highly radioactive once it comes into contact with the plant's fuel rods, has been stored in makeshift, hastily-built storage tanks around the site -- about 1,000 so far -- containing enough irradiated water to fill about 160 Olympic-sized swimming pools, with about 400 tons added to the tanks daily.
Scientists who monitor radiation levels offshore have pointed to evidence of an ongoing leak for more than a year, but it was only recently that TEPCO admitted it was occurring.
Last month, TEPCO said one of the storage tanks at the site had leaked 300 tons of toxic water, prompting Japan's nuclear regulator to declare the situation a Level 3 serious incident, its most serious assessment since the 2011 meltdowns. It has since stated that several tanks and pipes at the plant are suspected of leaking toxic water.
According to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), Level 3 applies to situations in which there is "severe contamination in an area not expected by design, with a low probability of significant public exposure."
Why are these holding tanks leaking?
The leaks that have occurred so far have been in a type of storage tank using plastic seals. About 350 of the 1,000 tanks in place are constructed in the same way. These are the ones that were constructed hastily in the aftermath of the disaster as a makeshift measure -- but, two and a half years on, are beginning to fail.
Michael Friedlander, a nuclear engineer and former U.S. power plant operator, told CNN the eventual failure of the tanks years after they were deployed on a supposedly temporary, emergency basis is illustrative of TEPCO's ad hoc, unsustainable response to the disaster.
"Given the cards they were dealt, building a tank farm to hold the water in in the heat of the emergency, there was really there only one option, so I don't fault them for that," he said.
But beyond the emergency response, TEPCO had demonstrated no long-term vision for dealing with the problem, he said.
"You can't be getting rid of 400 tons of water a day with no end in sight," he added. "Their strategy was never sustainable. You've got all this radioactive material sitting there next to the plant with effectively no long term strategy for dealing with it."
Is this the only problem?
There's also an issue with groundwater, which flows from the hills surrounding the plant and gets contaminated in radioactive areas. In July, TEPCO admitted that radioactive groundwater was leaking into the Pacific Ocean from the plant, even though an underground barrier was built to seal in the water.
How much radiation is there?
In July, TEPCO disclosed that water from test wells around the reactor buildings showed concentrations of radioactive tritium in one well as high as 500,000 becquerels -- a unit of radioactive intensity -- per liter of water. By comparison, Japan's maximum safe level of radioactivity in drinking water for adults is 300 becquerels per liter.
This month, a sharp spike in radiation levels was detected in some of the pipes and storage tanks -- the highest reading was 1,800 millisieverts per hour at the bottom fringe of the tank. Readings of 220 and 70 millisieverts per hour were measured at the bottom of other two tanks. And TEPCO said it found a dried stain under the pipe with a 230 millisieverts per hour radiation measurement.

The Top 10 Greatest Survivors of Evolution
Travel back millions of years in your time machine and you'd find some of these species thriving and looking much as they do today
- By Brian Switek
- Smithsonian.com, November 09, 2012, Subscribe
When we think about the history of life on earth and the vast changes that have transpired over millions and millions of years—as single-celled organisms evolved into species as disparate as redwood trees, dragonflies and humans—are wonderfully apparent. But, among all that evolutionary change, some organisms have little modified from their distant ancestors. Creatures such as sharks and crocodiles are often viewed as evolutionary sluggards or "living fossils." While the rest of nature was caught up in life's race, the coelacanth and duck-billed platypus sat things out.
This perception isn't quite right. Many species of these living fossils differ significantly from their prehistoric counterparts, and often the apparently archaic creatures are the remaining representatives of lineages that were once more varied and diverse. Still, many of these organisms look as if they belong to another era. Charles Darwin explained why in his famous book On the Origin of Species: Natural selection may have vastly modified other branches in the tree of life over time, but, among organisms like the lungfish, the quirks and contingencies of their habitats and lifestyles remained so stable that there was little evolutionary pressure to change. By chance, these lineages occupied an evolutionary sweet spot. The great Victorian naturalist Thomas Henry Huxley called these creatures "persistent types," but there is an even simpler name for them—survivors.
1. Crocodylians
Watch any documentary about crocodiles and you're almost certain to hear the line "They have gone unchanged since the time of the dinosaurs." That isn't exactly true. While crocodylians as we know them today—the alligators, gharials and crocodiles that live at the water's edge—have been around for about 85 million years, they belong to a much more diverse and disparate group of creatures that goes back to the Triassic.
Crocodylians are the last living representatives of the crocodylomorpha, an even bigger group that originated over 205 million years ago. They shared the world with the dinosaurs and came in a startling array of forms. Some—like the 112-million-year-old, approximately 40-foot-long giant Sarcosuchus—looked quite similar to their modern cousins, but there were also formidable ocean-going predators such as Dakosaurus; small forms with mammal-like teeth such as Pakasuchus; crocs with tusks and extra armor such as Armadillosuchus; and lithe, land-dwelling carnivores such as Sebecus. Modern crocs do look ancient, but they are just the remainders of an even older and stranger lineage.
2. Velvet worm
"Velvet worm" is something of a misnomer. Stretching a quarter of an inch to eight inches long, and flanked by rows of stubby legs along their smooth bodies, these invertebrates aren't worms at all. They belong to their own group, which is more closely related to arthropods, and these inhabitants of the forest undergrowth are part of a much, much older lineage that goes back to one of the greatest evolutionary explosions of all time.
In 1909, secretary of the Smithsonian Institution Charles Doolittle Walcott discovered the fauna of the Burgess Shale—exquisitely preserved creatures from a 505-million-year-old sea. Many of these animals were unlike anything seen before, and the true affinities of many of the weird creatures from these deposits are still being debated. Even so, at least one creature looked familiar. Aysheaia, an invertebrate named by Walcott in 1911, closely resembles velvet worms and may be close to the group's ancestry. Even though this form lacks some of the specialties seen in modern velvet worms, such as a unique nozzle system that squirts an instant web over prey, the Cambrian creature shared the segmented, stubby-legged body plans with living forms. Frustratingly, the soft bodies of velvet worms don't fossilize very well so no one is entirely sure when they emerged onto land for the first time. But, if you know what to look for, you can still find them crawling through the leaf litter of tropical forests from Australia to South America.
3. Cow sharks
Most living sharks, from nurse sharks to great whites, have five gill slits on a side. But there are four species of cow sharks that have six or seven gills, a feature thought to be retained for millions of years from some of the earliest sharks. These deepwater, six- and seven-gill sharks are considered some of the most archaic of all shark species.
The evolutionary story of sharks is primarily one of teeth. With the exception of rare fossils that preserve remnants of soft parts, teeth are usually all that is preserved from cartilaginous shark bodies. An articulated specimen of the early shark Doliodus problematicus pushes the shark's existence back to at least 409 million years ago, and they are probably even older than that. The lineage to which today's six- and seven-gill sharks belong, however, is more recent. Based upon isolated, saw-blade fossil teeth, paleontologists think cow sharks have existed for at least 175 million years. These deepwater sharks are opportunistic feeders—taking whatever they can—and may have had a stable role as a deep-sea cleanup crew, scavenging on the bodies of marine reptiles during the Mesozoic and shifting to marine mammals after the time of the dinosaurs. We know very little about the appearances of these ancient sharks, but their roughly bladed teeth hint that they have been consummate deep-sea carrion feeders for millions of years.
4. Horsetails
Long-lived lineages of animals often get most of the attention, but there are some survivors among the plants, too. Horsetails must be some of the greatest. These archaic plants are often found growing in patches along streamsides and other wet habitats. Place a dinosaur toy among them, and the prehistoric model will look quite at home.
The reason why horsetails are considered so ancient comes from two lines of evidence. Living horsetails are unique among plants in that they reproduce via spores rather than seeds. Other plants likely gave up this method of reproducing millions and millions of years ago, but, old though it may be, the spore technique makes horsetails resilient and very difficult to remove from places where they are considered weeds. Horsetails also have a very deep fossil record. Though they make up small parts of forests now, enormous horsetails once made up entire forests in the days before modern trees evolved. In fact, much of the world's coal, which originates from 360- to 300-million-year-old Carboniferous deposits, are the remnants of horsetails such as Calamites that could have grown to be over 100 feet tall.
5. Lice
Not all the great survivors are charismatic. Some of evolution's greatest success stories are parasites, but few have stuck in there longer than lice.
Although louse fossils are rare, in 2004 paleontologists announced that they had found a 44-million-year-old feather louse that was strikingly similar to lice that live on the plumage of waterbirds today. The record of lice probably goes back even further. Last year, researchers used the few known louse fossils along with genetic comparisons between living lice to determine when major lice lineages evolved. Feather lice, in particular, seem to have split from their hitchhiking relatives sometime between 115 and 130 million years ago—right when little mammals were scurrying through the Cretaceous undergrowth and feathered dinosaurs were flocking around on land. Since feather lice evolved to feed on early birds and feather-covered, non-avian dinosaurs, they have had to change little to keep up with their hosts.

Still got another un-opened box of British, 15 Commandos and 20 Jerries.
And soon 25 GIs will be joining the neverending painting battle.
And a little WIP of my current conversion project. The all plastic 3'' mortar:
Two more crew to do today and tomorrow I'll start painting (Mother's Day celebrations permitting ).

Although my brother-in-law (finishing his journeyman electrician apprenticeship) tells me this is in part because some parts of the country have weak or no unions and relatively sloppy accreditation requirements. I think it is like anything else -- what they do all the time they do well, but wiring computer facilities isn't something most contractors do every day, or even every decade.

The Dalai Lama welcomes Tibetan Muslims to join CTA
[Wednesday, July 18, 2012 11:53]
By Tendar Tsering

DHARAMSHALA, July 18: Addressing a group of Tibetan Muslims in the Indian state of Jammu and Kashmir, the Dalai Lama last week welcomed Tibetan Muslim youths to join the Central Tibetan Administration.
The Tibetan spiritual leader, speaking in Tibetan, emphasised on the need for sharing responsibility during difficult times and noted that "all Tibetans are one irrespective of different religions."
The Dalai Lama is currently on a weeklong trip to Srinagar, the capital of north Indian state, on the invitation of the state Tourism Minister Ngawang Rinzin Jora.
Thousands of people, including Tibetan Muslims and Chief Minister of Jammu and Kashmir, Omar Abdullah, greeted the Dalai Lama at a grand public reception held in honor of the Tibetan spiritual leader at the Tibetan Public School in the capital.
The Dalai Lama said he was glad to see the Tibetan Muslims after a long time and appreciated their hard work and dedication in nurturing the local Tibetan school.
Currently there are no Tibetan Muslims serving in the CTA.
"Earlier, there were two Tibetan Muslims serving in the CTA but later, one got retired and the other resigned. So, as of now, we don't have any Tibetan Muslim serving in the CTA," a staff at the Public Service Commission of the CTA told Phayul.
Speaking to the Chief Minister of Jammu and Kashmir, Omar Abdullah at the reception ceremony, the Dalai Lama told the state leader that he has personally known three generations of the Abdullah family.
Calling the Chief Minister as young, energetic, and visionary leader, the Dalai Lama urged him to carry on the work of active service to people in the future.
Omar Abdullah, in his keynote speech, said that his state has seen some violence in the past, but "now with the blessing of the Tibetan spiritual leader, peace and tranquility will prevail in the state."
Following the reception ceremony, the Dalai Lama visited the mosque of the Tibetan Muslim community.
Most of the Tibetan Muslims in the locality are children of Tibetan women and Kashmiri traders who had settled in Tibet seven centuries ago, and later fled Tibet following China's invasion in 1959.
Apart from Tibetan Muslims, the northern Indian state is home to hundreds of Tibetan Buddhists who are settled in several camps in the state as refugees since 1959.
The Dalai Lama is scheduled to visit the Tibetan refugee camps in Ladakh and give religious teachings.
The last time that the Tibetan spiritual leader visited Srinagar was in 1988.

Here's a pen and ink drawing I did last summer of the Marrowbones Motel but never posted because it's a huge drawing and I never got around to scanning the whole thing until this morning. I think I've told this story here before but I'll just quickly mention it again, the whole idea behind Marrowbones came to me last summer while my family was traveling through Quebec, we were traveling through a fairly rural are called Riviere Du loup, which translates as Wolf River, and as we checked into a motel during one of the worst thunderstorms I've ever experienced I couldn't help but imagine that the clerk at the old motel was in fact, a werewolf. I started writing that night and drew this a bit later.

The Kitchen Lich Rejected Rough
Here's a (self) rejected rough I did for a little monster comic I'm doing called The Kitchen Lich. This was done in Manga Studio. I had a sudden, strong need to do a monster comic. This happens more frequently than you'd think. I've decided to do some monster short stories framed around the character Nora, who works at her uncle Barnaby's haunted motel in a swamp.
It's actually been a rough time getting work done. With my wife working long hours I find myself doing the stay at home dad thing over time. I think I'm learning a new kind of patience every day. I'm using any trick I can think of to draw. So stuff is getting done, just not as much as I'd like.
In other news we may have found a new place, and not far from here. We'll know soon. Can not wait to hang my favorite art on the wall!

Mimblebot And Tars
A drawing of Mimblebot and Tars the cat done entirely in Manga studio. I was about three quarters of the way through it when I realised I wasn't quite getting the effect I wanted so I quickly finished it up and moved on to the next thing. The line width I was using was just to small so I've had to experiment since with different widths. Still, I'm quite happy with it. I learned a lot about Manga Studio while doing this one, such amazing drawing software. Let me know if you have any questions!

Ollie The Vampire
Ollie the vampire has lived his whole non-life in the ghost infested cemetery behind the Marrowbone Motel, with only a couple of trips into town to see what all the fuss is about. He finds there's more than enough to interest him in the cemetery, as it's a very active place. He is a very minor vampire, feeding on mice and worms his best friend is Nora.

Goblin Of Mars
Here's a little sketch done on my iPad with Sketchbook Pro and coloured in Photoshop.
I'm still working on the new print today. I should be done in the next few days. After it's finished I'm going to do posts about the process for a week. And then put it up for sale. After that, I have a couple of commissions and then Robot Museum. Phew! On top of getting ready to move it's a busy few weeks.

The Glass Sketchbook
Sometimes my new role as a stay at home dad/cartoonist/illustrator is leading to some funny moments of discovery. Both stuff about me and just plain, old practical stuff.
Yesterday my son was sitting on my lap reading an enormous pop up book. Ii had a sudden idea for Robot Museum I wanted to get down immediately. It was a design element I wanted to capture. I haven't bought a sketchbook in a while. Most of my funds went toward a new iPad. So I've been forgoing my usual purchases, drawing on computer paper rather than in a proper sketchbook. And of course there was nothing in reach to sketch with. I suppose I could've moved Henry off me but I hate doing that so I grabbed my nearby iPad and without giving it a thought I worked out the sketch one handed in Sketchbook Pro, my favorite sketching app. And I thought it turned out great! Maybe for the time being my iPad will be my sketchbook. It sure is effective.
The Automaton Blog, A New Commission
This may have been one of my most enjoyable commissions to date. It was commissioned by brilliant automaton creator Dug North, who does some of the most incredible works of art I've seen an posts about some of the most exciting kinetic art. It a banner for his Automaton Blog.
The top image is the full banner and the next two are details.
Also, this is my first commission completed entirely digitally. It was all done in Photoshop on my Cintiq. I've had the Cintiq a year but for some reason only felt confident enough to do a complete commission on it. What's interesting about working digitally is that it's not necessarily easier than working in pen and ink or even that much faster but the control is amazing. It's easier to translate what you imagine to the drawing. It's a very exciting way to work.
Above is the digital sketch done on one layer while I built up the inks and colours on other layers. I can build up layer after layer of ink and see what works and what doesn't without committing.
And right now I'm doing another piece, this time using Manga Studio to draw it. I'll start posting process shots of that very soon.

Vincent Price
I decided to watch some Vincent Price movies before bed last night but ended up drawing him instead. Manga Studio's really fun to draw with so it keeps pulling me back for more sketching.
Also, I'm testing the waters at Pinterest. If you have an account there look me up here.

Gothic Robot Thumbs
Finally finished all 270 + pages of Robot museum thumbnails. I thumbnailed by panel instead of page, so that's why the number's so big. I'm finishing up a commission right now and after that I'm doing a new print and then I'll start in on the comic. The print will be Robot Museum themed and will also serve as practice with Manga Studio, the software I'm doing the new comic in. Robot Museum is 7 or 8 years in the making but I finally have a story I'm happy with. It's sort of a dark, fast paced science fiction adventure story. I ended up putting in lots of shadowy gothic elements, more like early science fiction like H.G. Wells and Jules Verne and Mary Shelley. My own favorite books are either science fiction stories or ghostly gothic books. It all seemed to fit together really well. I'm calling it an all ages, near future, gothic science fiction story.

Trying Out Manga Studio
I finally caved in yesterday and bought the basic Manga Studio. I wanted to see what all the fuss is about. If you've not heard of it, Manga Studio is a drawing program designed especially for cartoonists. For a long time I had put off trying it out because I wasn't sure it suited my style. Most of the work I was seeing done in Manga Studio was either pretty conventional western superhero stuff or Japanese manga kind of work. My work tends to be slightly more illustrative in that I use hatching quite a bit. I also like a spontaneous, lively line and what I was seeing done with the software looked very controlled, almost like work done in a vector program like Illustrator. Which doesn't suit my work at all.
It turns out that Manga Studio is the most versatile drawing software I've tried and it can handle just about any drawing style you can think of. Even the basic version is a very powerful tool.
The first thing that jumped out at me is that the tools have real world analogs. The pens you use in Manga Studio correspond to physical pens, right down to the nib measurements. Like .005 or ,01. Which is fantastic for me because that's how I think. Unlike Photoshop, Manga studio allows me to know exactly how a line will look in print. It takes the guesswork out. And the lines themselves are very lively. Accessing and altering your tools is incredibly easy and straight forward, which makes drawing very fast. You don't need to fiddle much, it's all set up for drawing without being distracted by the software itself.
Above are my first two sketches done in Manga Studio.
A couple of things I'm not sure of yet. One is colour. I haven't quite figured out how to colour in MS. And I'm actually thinking I may just export art to Photoshop for colouring. I find Photoshop does basic colour very well and I'm not seeing an improvement on that here.
Second is panel layout. I simply haven't tried this yet so I'll report back on it at some other time. It appears to do this very well, though.

Henry's Horrible Monster
My wife insists we all have dinner as a family and I'm really glad she does. Otherwise I'd be staring at the computer screen with my eyes glazed over spooning food into my mouth absently. Instead we have great family dinners every night. And one of my favorite parts of family dinner is listening to my three year old tell me about his day and his observations. Last night we got a good one. Henry, unprompted, began describing what lived "under the ground" The are tall and white, with tiny eyes and tiny teeth. And they have no hair. Awesome!So after dinner, I haunched over the computer and sketched out Henry's monster in Photoshop. I need to use more of his ideas!

The Total Situation
My apologies for my uneven posting lately. I've have been crazy busy. Between 2 comic book projects, 2 current commissions and the whole stay at home dad thing, time is at a premium but I'm trying to get on top of it. I think I kind of have the hang of things.......
And thanks so much everyone for making my sale a success! It's no exaggeration to say everyone who bought something from my Etsy store or helped share links to the sale allowed us to buy groceries for about two months and I even squirreled away a bit of money to buy an iPad at some point. Prices are going back up but I'm going to reduce the Goblin Lookout print cost until it's sold out and replace it with 2 new prints. More on that later.

There's no longer any refuge from shitty, generic pop muzak.
It's amazing how blatant they were about ripping off nbc's Sunday night opening...don't people get paid shitloads of money to come up with that stuff?
i can see the pitch meeting... Some guy making $250k a year says "let's do what the peacock did, but replace the pale blonde with a dark skin brunette". Everyone around the table cheers...
I didn't think that they could come up with a song worse than the shitty Monday Night Football opener, but I was wrong.
They should never have fired Hank Williams Jr.
i'd like to add a few dots to her head.
I dont particularly care for curry myself.
But id love to eat her out so long as there isnt a huge fur burger in her panties.
Her parents will set her on fire and get her brothers to rape her for this insult.

Tea Party Express, Grand Rapids at Riverside Park
April 10, 2010 from 4pm to 6pm
"You, the politicians in Washington, have failed We The People with your bailouts, out-of-control deficit spending, government takeovers of sectors of the economy, Cap & Trade, government-run health care, and higher taxes! If you thought we were just going to quietly go away, or that this tea party movement would be just a passing fad, you were mistaken. We're taking our country back!"

You won't be able to play games at the moment, the game menu is broken until I update it to a new version which I want to complete today. There are several CSS problems and some features are not working, nonetheless, if you find an error please warn me about it so that it gets to the bug list.
I'll be working continuasly in the project, even if only half an hour at a time, but I need users that access the system to test it. You may start by adding cards.

no entries appear in the Federal Register after this date.
This is a list of United States Code sections, Statutes at Large, Public Laws, and Presidential Documents, which provide rulemaking authority for this CFR Part.
This list is taken from the Parallel Table of Authorities and Rules provided by GPO [Government Printing Office].
It is not guaranteed to be accurate or up-to-date, though we do refresh the database weekly. More limitations on accuracy are described at the GPO site.
Title 50 published on 2012-10-01
The following are ALL rules, proposed rules, and notices (chronologically) published in the Federal Register relating to 50 CFR 600 after this date.
GPO FDSys XML | Text type regulations.gov FR Doc. 2013-12860 RIN 0648-AW38 Docket No. 080228332-81199-01 DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Proposed rule; withdrawal. The proposed rule published on January 15, 2009 (74 FR 2467) is withdrawn as of May 30, 2013. 50 CFR Parts 253 and 600 NMFS withdraws a proposed rule for proposed regulations governing the requests for determinations of fishery resource disasters as a basis for acquiring disaster assistance, which was published on January 15, 2009. Instead of going forward with a final rule directly resulting from the 2009 proposed rule, NMFS issued an internal policy on June 16, 2011.
GPO FDSys XML | Text type regulations.gov FR Doc. 2013-10439 RIN 0648-BB54 Docket No. 111014628-3329-01 DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Proposed rule; request for comments. Written comments must be received by June 17, 2013. 50 CFR Part 600 NMFS proposes a rule to implement the provisions of the Shark Conservation Act of 2010 (SCA) and prohibit any person from removing any of the fins of a shark at sea, possessing shark fins on board a fishing vessel unless they are naturally attached to the corresponding carcass, transferring or receiving fins from one vessel to another at sea unless the fins are naturally attached to the corresponding carcass, landing shark fins unless they are naturally attached to the corresponding carcass, or landing shark carcasses without their fins naturally attached. NMFS proposes this action to amend existing regulations and make them consistent with the SCA.
GPO FDSys XML | Text type regulations.gov FR Doc. 2013-07866 RIN 0648-BC86 Docket No. 121227743-3275-01 DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Advance notice of proposed rulemaking; request for comments. Written comments regarding the issues in this ANPR must be received by 5 p.m., local time, on July 3, 2013. 50 CFR Part 600 NMFS issues this advance notice of proposed rulemaking (ANPR) to provide background information and request public comment on potential issues related to the implementation of the Billfish Conservation Act of 2012.
GPO FDSys XML | Text type regulations.gov FR Doc. 2013-06541 RIN 0648-BC31 DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Notice of public hearings; extension of comment period. The deadline for comments has been extended from April 23, 2013, to May 8, 2013. Two additional public hearings will be held, one on April 10, 2013 from 5:00 to 8:00 p.m., and the second on April 30, 2013 from 2:30 to 4:30 p.m., via public conference call and webinar. 50 CFR Parts 600 and 635 On February 22, 2013, NMFS published a proposed rule for Draft Amendment 8 to the 2006 Consolidated Atlantic Highly Migratory Species (HMS) Fishery Management Plan (FMP) to address several new proposed North Atlantic swordfish commercial fishery management measures, including a new open access permit that would allow the retention and sale of swordfish caught with certain handgears. We announced the date and location for six public hearings and a comment period ending on April 23, 2013. In this notice, NMFS announces the dates and logistics for two additional public hearings, and an extension of the comment period from April 23, 2013, to May 8, 2013, to provide additional opportunities for the five Fishery Management Councils, the Atlantic and Gulf States Marine Fisheries Commissions, and other interested parties to comment on the swordfish management measures proposed in Draft Amendment 8.
GPO FDSys XML | Text type regulations.gov FR Doc. 2013-03990 RIN 0648-BC31 Docket No. 120627194-3097-01 DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Proposed rule; request for comments. Written comments will be accepted until April 23, 2013. 50 CFR Parts 600 and 635 This proposed rule to implement Amendment 8 to the 2006 Consolidated Atlantic Highly Migratory Species (HMS) Fishery Management Plan (FMP) addresses North Atlantic swordfish commercial fishery management measures. In recent years, the North Atlantic swordfish stock has experienced significant growth due to ongoing domestic and international conservation measures designed to reduce mortality, protect juvenile swordfish, monitor international trade, reduce bycatch, and improve data collection. The most recent stock assessment, conducted in 2009, indicates that the North Atlantic swordfish population is fully rebuilt ("not overfished") and overfishing is no longer occurring. Despite ongoing efforts to revitalize the U.S. North Atlantic swordfish fishery, domestic catches have remained below the U.S. North Atlantic swordfish quota allocated by the International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT). Fishing gears such as rod and reel, handline, harpoon, bandit gear, and green-stick are highly selective when compared to other gears, have low bycatch interaction rates with protected species and marine mammals, and may have low post-release mortality rates on non-target species and undersized swordfish. However, the current swordfish Handgear permit is a limited access permit, and is often difficult or expensive to obtain. Based upon the rebuilt status of North Atlantic swordfish, renewed interest in commercial handgears that are lower in bycatch and bycatch mortality, and the availability of swordfish quota, through Amendment 8 to the 2006 Consolidated HMS FMP NFMS proposes to provide additional commercial fishing opportunities for persons using swordfish handgears.

Not a single misfire on 500sq ft of 5/8 bamboo using 2" cleat nails. Uses any flooring staple or cleat nail by Bostich. The handle is impossible to tighten completely due to the cheap "L" bolts with soft threads. Duck tape fixed it! It comes with a plate for 3/4" and 1/2" flooring but can be used with 5/8". The 3/4" plate won't sit flush on the floor but it still shoots correctly. I see no reason to spend $400 + on other guns.

I bought this as a replacement to the previous 3-in-1 nailer the store discontinued. I did run into repeated jams. [...] The 2nd nailer worked really great.I used this nailer, with HF 1.5 inch 0.5 crown 15.5 G staples (the yellow color coded ones for the previous discontinued nailer model) and so far so good. I still have another 100 sqft to go and I hope the 2nd one lasts without anymore jams.If the jams are occasional, Its ok. But I did had to return one that it kept jamming every 5 hits even after the technician fixed it.Long way to go for this to be dependable, if you are planning to use this for too long.3 stars as it does its job for a Beginner DIY person like me. I am not sure contractors will like this. When I was in the store, i did hear from another customer that this nailer kept jaming too frequently.

Great Nailer
By Rider7767
from Lafollette, TN
About Me Avid Do-It-Yourselfer
Comments about Central Pneumatic 2-in-1 Flooring Nailer/Stapler:
This Nailer has worked perfect for over 500 square foot of hardwood flooring. It has never jammed. Any problems where caused by my inexperience. I took it out of the box, put the handle on, oiled, and went to work. It took just a short time until I was a pro at working the nailer. It is very forgiving. Great tool
Comment on this review
Very nice nailer
By Home builder Mike
from Bridgeville, CA
See all my reviews
This nailer is great. My only reservation is that you can't load another clip of nails until it is almost empty. I nailed an entire row after the nailer was empty before I realized it had run out. Now I am breaking the clips in two so I can keep it full.
great product, great price
By Robert
from San Jose, Ca
I searched around for these flooring nailers and was ready to buy a used Bosch from Craigslist. I finally located this gun for even less and knowing my project had limited scope decided to buy. What a fantactic choice. Gun works just as one would expect, no jams or misfortune. From what I can tell after first 2000 nails - this will clearly exceed my expectations - time will tell but I dont forsee any trouble based on experience to date. Buy this product when in need of a flooring nailer.

Unexpected perfection!
By Billy Jack
from Fargo, ND
About Me Casual Do-It-Yourselfer
This is virtually my first review of anything, but I felt so strongly about the performance of this product that I felt compelled to communicate this to others that have questions. The only issue I had was when matching the L-Nails to the unit I purchased as the box says to use 16Ga. L-Nails from Harbor Freight, and the L-Nails on the shelf were 15 Ga. on the Box. 2,000 of them worked PERFECTLY however, so the 15 Ga. are fine!
Worked perfectly!
By Willyferd
from North Carolina
Installed 320 sq. ft. of solid hickory flooring using 2" cleated nails. Easy to use, no misfires or partially seated nails. On sale and with 20% off, it's a great deal. First pneumatic floor nailer I've used so can't compare to others.
Great tool
By woodworker John
from Houston, PA
Did 3 rooms using 3/4" oak and tool worked perfect, no jams, no problems. In past I have installed several hardwood floor on my knees so my only regret is that I should have purchased this outstanding tool years ago.
Excellent nailer at a good price
By Musicman
from JAX, FL
Laid 350 feet of 5/8" bamboo. Had a couple of misfires due to my not getting a good strike on the trigger in confined spaces. Otherwise, it worked flawlessly and I had no jams. I have never done a nail down floor and it took 2-3 nails to get the feel, but after that it was smooth sailing. Would recommend this to anyone.

Worked just like more expensive brands
By Breal
from Denver, Co
Used this to put in 1,200 square feet of pre-finished brazilian hardwood. I've used Bosche nailers and could tell no difference. Anyone who has done hardwoods knows how long it takes, so it more than paid for itself over the five days of use. Also used the much cheaper harbor freight staples, which worked fine. I'm skeptical on its longevity, but again, it already justified the purchase price.
Exceeded my expectations
By Big D
from Cheshire, CT
I have laid almost 2000 sq. feet of 3/4" Brazilian Cherry and Solid Oak without a problem. I truly thought I would buy and discard this unit but the nailer is still going strong. You cannot go wrong for the price. Keep it oiled as you should all air tools.
Great Buy
By Beence
from North Jersey
The first two times I did a hardwood flooring project, I rented a name brand nailer. For my current project, I bought this nailer and wish I had bought it when I did the first project. I used it on a few hundred feet of 3/4 inch hickory and it operated flawlessly. I saw no difference in performance between it and the name brand. I used the HF cleat nails without any problems at all. The nails were the same price as the brand name ones you can buy in the big box stores, so no bargain there. I would recommend this nailer for any DIY'er.

This is very sad news indeed. I understand that, if you're just not feeling it, you're just not feeling it. But....
Here's hoping that after abstaining for awhile, you'll get the itch to get back to it and come back with a vengence.
In the meantime, I hope you will stick around the blogosphere and comment on the other blogs, at least.
If for no other reason than to call us all "WHORES!!!"

Take Care

Retirement seems cool until you realize you're bored and there is nothing else out there - then you end up working as a greeter at Walmart telling little snot nosed brats to watch their fucking mouths "Do you kiss your WHORE mother with those lips?"
Hope you still stick around and interact with us children even though you won't be keeping us up to date yourself ....
and finally....
