Gone Too Soon: Invasion
After the breakout success of Lost in 2004, the following year saw three big-budget attempts at science fiction series with dense continuity. Unfortunately, it also saw those three series ultimately fail to hang on to their viewers, through internal problems or network mismanagement, and fans were left with three frustrating cliffhangers.
While they were allowed to complete more episodes than many series that followed them, I suspect this trinity of cancellations is a big reason current TV viewers are nervous about jumping on board complex shows with intricate continuity and details.
I watched Surface, Threshold and Invasion that season, but always found myself much more involved with the stories and drama unfolding on the latter of the three. Despite Katrina-related sensitivity due to its hurricane-themed opening, Invasion did an amazing job of building tension during a possible alien infiltration. V could learn a thing or two from this show.
TV Squad previews FOX's new shows
After enduring the screener for Do Not Disturb last season on FOX, I could only hope that these offerings were at least better than that offense to the senses. And they were. Well, most of them. Unfortunately, it seems that FOX has at least one Do Not Disturb in them every season. Other than that, one of these shows was far better than I expected, another a bit worse, and a third one stands as one of the better pilots I've ever seen.
Reaper: The Devil & Sam Oliver (series finale)
I'm glad the Devil actually has a weakness with regards to his vanity. When a character is all-powerful, they get boring rather quickly. Thankfully, Ray Wise has the talent to keep the character interesting despite his handicap of near-omnipotence. When you consider that, you have to wonder how Sam could have possibly thought he had an advantage during the first game of quarters.
The character of Mary Pat (whom I found amusing, but only because she reminded me of some people I know) was gone pretty quickly. At first I thought Steve was back because they couldn't get Tony for the finale until the broken hand occurred. Obviously, the creators planned a bigger role for Sam as a pawn of the war between Heaven and Hell. It's a pity that unless the show miraculously gets picked up, it will never get resolved.
The entire situation with Nina was a cute homage to the Exorcist movies. At least Ben is happy at the end of the series.
Here's a preview of Sons of Tucson (Tyler Labine's new FOX sitcom - goodbye Reaper?)
So what does this mean for Reaper?
Reaper refuses to abandon all hope
Show producers are negotiating with local CW affiliates to bring Reaper back on Sunday nights next season in syndication. The deal could also bring the show to cable.
The Hollywood Reporter, however, notes that either scenario is a bigger long shot than Roseanne's chances of getting another crack at singing the National Anthem at a Padres' home game.
Reaper: No Reaper Left Behind
Andi was right about Sam; he's getting darker for the world he's trapped in. His machinations tonight with the Devil's shut-in "girlfriend" Sandy were downright diabolical. Sure, his ultimate goal of taking down the Devil and freeing himself is noble, but is he willing to do too much to get out of it? Not that I really see a more pure approach working. In fact, I've always wondered just how much the Devil knows. I would think he knows everything that Sam does, even when Sam's trying to betray him or undercut him in some way. Hell, he's the Devil. He's probably proud of him when that happens.
Reaper: I Want My Baby Back
(S01E05) "Lookin' sharp, Buffy, lookin' sharp." - Devil to Sam while he was holding a wooden stake
Season two of Reaper continues to entertain: it's funny, smart and unexpected, while still delivering all the things we loved about Reaper in season one. From using Sam's zombie dad to scare the poop out of Ben in the car, to the tongue-in-cheek shout-out to Buffy the Vampire Slayer, this episode delivered.
One thing this episode did suffer from, though, is something I feared. Because they've introduced so many characters, we only saw a brief bit of them this week (and we didn't see Nina at all), and I was left wanting more of some. I guess we got a good fill of the dad, and it was so great to have demon Tony back. But I missed Nina, and I craved more Morgan. I'm wondering, too, if Kristen will end up being more than a bizarre sex symbol for Sock.
Reaper: The Favorite
(S02E04) Reaper pulled it out again with another winner of an episode. Something tells me they know exactly what they are doing this season, and I'm loving every second of it.
Although I enjoyed the addition of Morgan, the Devil's other son, very much, I was getting a bit irritated that they kept introducing new characters -- Kristen, Nina, Morgan -- and just left the whole storyline with Sam's dad floating out there. I was getting nervous that they didn't really know what to do with it, so they were just going to drop it and hope we didn't remember. Well, they got back to it tonight, and I can't wait to see it all come together.
But we'll get to that later. Let's talk about the rest of the episode first...
TV Squad Ten: TV's top second bananas
When it came time to put together this list, I wondered if I'd be able to find ten viable and qualified bananas on the airwaves today. But I guess I needn't have worried. It looks like Barney was an inspiration (in more ways than one) to the current crop of second bananas. They litter their peels all over the television landscape, leaving us to trip over in laughter time and time again at their antics. But how do they stack up? Who's the biggest fruit in the tree? There's only one way to find out!
Supporting comedy actor and actress finalists
Here come two more lists of the ten actors and actresses that are finalists for Emmy nominations in the supporting comedy categories. As with the other awards, there are some surprises on the list, and some notable omissions. For the ladies, the headline is that last year's winner, Jaime Pressly (My Name Is Earl), didn't make the cut. Surprise finalists include Conchata Ferrell (Two And A Half Men) and Amy Poehler (Saturday Night Live). I don't mind seeing Conchata on the list because she is consistently funny on the show, but I don't know that there is enough to her role for her to actually garner a nomination when you consider the competition.
On the other side of the coin, the defending champ, Jeremy Piven (Entourage), is back. None of the boys over at SNL managed to make the leap from Variety to Comedy that Poehler did.
Short-Lived Shows: Invasion - VIDEO
Along with Surface, Invasion was one of my favorite new shows that season, with each episode getting better and better. By the series finale, I was hooked. I'm still miffed that ABC didn't give it more time to flesh out the story and characters.
Incorporating a sci-fi-alien mystery, a government conspiracy, and plenty of family drama, Invasion had a built-in audience because it aired directly after another sci-fi mystery, Lost. Unfortunately, it wasn't enough to keep the series on the air.
Reaper: The Leak
(S01E17) All things considered, this has been a pretty good week for Reaper. In light of the very real possibility that next week's season finale could have been a series finale, news that the show has been picked up for next season is cause for celebration. Sure, the thirteen episodes for mid-season part isn't ideal, but hey, gift horses and whatnot. I am already looking forward to a Reaper/Supernatural block on Thursday nights. And hey, there was a new episode too. There was a lot going on, but the big news was that after months of patience, there is finally some news on the contract. That, and the rest of the episode, after the jump.
Reaper: Greg Schmeg
(S01E16) "Trust, honesty, integrity...I don't like those words, not one little bit. - Jerry
I found it funny that Sam and Andi were comparing scary demons when they got attacked, because for my money, very few things are scarier than an chainsaw wielding dude in a mask. It's like Leatherface, Michael Myers and Casey Jones all rolled up together.
I really wish we could see more of Gladys. I find her to be really funny. I think it would be great if she had one small scene in every episode ala Carlton Your Doorman. Just the idea that the DMV is where demons do the work of the devil still makes me laugh.
Reaper: Coming To Grips
(S01E15) "I'm going to rebuild the army... Pass the paprika." - Tony
Finally, the season-long game of Sam trying to hide his demon hunting gig from Andi comes to a head. It was a welcome event in my little corner of TV land. I had taken issue with their relationship early in the season as it started to feel like we were in a rut and watching the same scene play out over and over. These last two weeks with the two of them together have done a lot to repair that chink in the Reaper armor. But wait, would finding out about Sam's special gift send us right back into that old familiar loop? Ours is not to spoil above the fold, so read on for thoughts on that, and a boatload of other goings on down by the 'Bench.

Anyone to solo this onsight is of the highest calibre of human being. Tried to imagine I was soloing as I did it and scared myself despite knowing I had Mr shunt. Peg currently present which makes the red point appealing despite huge bone smashing fall potential. Solid rock, engaging moves, precarious groove. Stanners - TR O/S - 31/Jul/15 with Shunt

Bold little number, went for the onsight and got up to the committing step across to the groove, then backed off... Was glad I did cos on toprope it felt scary and the groove is really precarious, would have bricked it on solo if I didnt know what I was doing. Felt smooth on the burn and buzzing after!Mike Goldthorp - Solo RP - 15/Nov/12 with Andy
Soloed late in the afternoon just as more flakes of snow began to fall. Despite clearing ice off the approach holds, the rock wasn't that cold. Was never really an ambition to do and despite the good moves leading up to the step across into the groove, I would not particularly recommend it as one worth risking your life on.KRB - Solo rpt - 09/Jan/10

We'd seen it solo'd most ably the previous friday, and as Rambo says seeing it had been done recently on the logbooks provided a little impetus, as well as the fact it looked clean ish for once. And HA told me it was easy on top rope and he's shit ;-). News flash - there's a good runner in the flake below the wall - a tied off hand placed peg (think I used a knife blade, but you could try a sabre) jammed in with a nut key wedged down the back (I also scooped out the mud especially using it). If you're capable and half thinking of onsighting this, it's worth forking out your 6 quid and soloing up to check it out first (you can reverse easily) to see what you reckon, before abbing or top roping it into an inevitably successful ascent. Quiet Mind suddenly looks a lot more onsightable too.Paz - Lead β - 02/May/08 with TS2, WG

The weather here is just spectacular and after last winter I won't hear of anyone complaining about the heat. The Wesley House Valentine's Day party was a great success and netted more then $59,000 for that wonderful day care facility here in Key West. We had 750 people over for dining and dancing, Here's to a great spring. Come on down. Looking forward to seeing you soon.

My F1 came with a 90 mm and a 210mm lens with Copal shutters built in, which I was more comfortable with, coming from smaller formats. I assumed these combination lens/shutter units were advances from the systems which used a separate board for the shutter and required special shutter release cables and separate DB lenses. Now I gather these latter systems, the Copal auto-aperture, serve as an alternative, maybe competition, to the one-piece systems.
I see a Sinar auto-aperture system on Ebay (without any lenses) for about 2/3 the price I paid for my complete F1 with its two well functioning lens/shutter units.
Is the auto-aperture system superior for some reason? Do you other Sinar users believe it worth converting to? When I buy my next Sinar, should I go with the auto-aperture system? Thanks in advance for your time in commenting.
I have it for my Sinar F-1, and it is all I have.
It is excellent in that it GREATLY reduces the cost of your kit. DB lenses sell for peanuts. I have purchased five DB lenses beyond the 210 that came with the camera, and I have spent under $1,200 in doing so. Reputable E-Bay sellers specializing in photography equipment were the source for all of them, and they all work perfectly. I have a DB 90mm f/4.5 Rodenstock, DBM 121mm f/8 Schneider, DB 210mm f/5.6 Rodenstock, DB 240mm f/5.6 Rodenstock, DBM 240mm f/5.6 Nikkor, and DB 360mm f/6.8 Schneider.
They are also excellent in that they reduce the number of things that can break, wear, or be inconsistent.
They are convenient in that you can set slow shutter speeds down to 8 seconds.
They are very quick in that you never need to change anything on the front of the camera.
They are very precise in that you can always dial in f/stops in 1/3s (and can easily position the needle in between the thirds, even).
They are great in the same way that a Speed Graphic is great: If you can mount whatever glass it is to a lens board, you can use it (unless, of course, it is simply so big that the opening for the shutter cuts into the image circle...like my c. 1850 Voigtländer Petzval).
They are great for chronic accidental exposers in that if you use the second cable, you cannot accidentally leave the shutter open and then pull a dark slide. (I never use this cable myself; too much crap running all over the place, and provides too much resistance when inserting a film holder.)
They are not great in that the lenses can only be used on a Sinar.
They are not great in that their top shutter speed is '60 (unless you get the significantly more expensive model).
They are not great in that if the shutter fails, your shoot is over if you are shooting short exposures. (You can still shoot with flash or long exposures if they fail. Open the shutter, or, with DBM lenses only, remove it entirely if it is jammed shut, and use a lens cap, film box, hat etc.)
They are not great in that DBM models, which are far preferable IMO, are harder to find than DB models, and when you do find them, they are often older and in worse shape. With the DBM lenses, you can set the aperture without needing to have the shutter attached. I have gaffer taped both of my DBM lenses to other cameras. This would be impossible with the DB lenses, unless I was shooting wide open.
It is not great at all in that the front standard is moved quite a way back compared to when you use the same lens in a between-the-glass shutter. This bunches up the camera quite a way when using wides. With my 90mm lens, a bag bellows is not only necessary for movement, but necessary just to focus on infinity. I have also run in to situations when using the 90 in which I am physically prevented from making the swing I want to make, because the standards are too close together. For these reasons, I would say that wides 90mm and shorter are a weak spot for the DB system. Additionally, this makes the front standard more unstable when using heavier lenses, like my 360 and 240s. I prefer to use my P front standard when using these lenses, instead of my F1 front standard (which is the relatively flimsy Multipurpose standard).
It is not great in that no matter how fast your lens is, you cannot use it any wider than f/5.6. If you really want to make a shot wide open, you can remove the red screw-in post on the back of the lens so that the lens will open up all the way. However, with large format, the real advantage of fast lenses is on the ground glass, not for the shot itself.
They are not great in that they take a proprietary synch cable.
So, when all is said and done, here is the way I look at it:
The DB system allowed me to get into a very full kit very quickly for a very small amount of money in the grand scheme of things. It has never failed to work as it should, nor do I have any reason to think it will, other than the fact that in life, things never do. This is simply me accepting Murphy's Law, though, not stating that I have any problem with the quality of the equipment itself. When the Sinar is called for (the emphasis is key here) in my "work", I have all the kit I need for 90% of situations, and I got it all for $1,200, plus the trade of an inherited guitar that was in the best case scenario worth $800. So, $2,000, camera included, $1,200 of which I actually had to pay. Additionally, I have put another $500 or so into roll film backs and a rotating 6x9 gizmo. (Everything but the rotating gizmo is usable on any Graflok-backed camera, however.) For the tools that I have at my disposal, $2,500 is horribly dirt cheap.
However, the drawbacks of the DB system are indeed large drawbacks in much of my "work". I am seriously lacking in the lens department on my other 4x5 systems. I have everything I need for the Sinar, but very little for my Speed, my Technika, and my Kodak No. 2 5x7. I miss being able to use the terrific glass on my other cameras. Outdoors, I miss fast shutter speeds if there is any wind. So, in the end, I am slowly going to end up duplicating these FLs in between-the-lens shutters.
Using the DB system is like having all your eggs in a basket; It can be a good thing if you want to make just one trip to carry all your eggs. It can be a bad thing if you need to walk across a rocky stream to get those eggs where they need to go, and thus a backpack is really the better tool for egg transport in the situation. It is the perfect and most economical solution if all of your "serious" 4x5 work will be done with a Sinar. It is a great solution for somebody who shoots in studio with flash, or interiors, most of the time. For anything else, you start running into its drawbacks fairly quickly. It is not unusable in other situations by ANY means, but the drawbacks do make themselves apparent.
So, IMO, definitely go for it if you don't shoot any other systems. Go for it if you want to assemble an extensive kit for very little money. Maybe go for it if you shoot outside, but only if you are OK with having '60 as your top shutter speed. Do not go for it if versatility and interchangeability to other cameras are key things for your "work". Do not go for it if a lot of what you do involves making a lot of tilt and/or swing movements with extreme wide-angle lenses.
Good morning, 2F/2F;
Thank you for the commentary on the Sinar behind-the-lens shutter system. I was also considering the purchase of the "auto-aperture" system, but I did not realize that the shortest shutter speed is only 1/60 of a second for the ones commonly available. Thank you for pointing out that limitation for a camera that goes outside.
Ralph Javins
Latte Land, Washington
2f/2f - that was a great run-down of information.... I use between the glass shutters, but feel like I know more about the db and dbm's now; it was a question I had before buying my sinar but am glad I went with what I have now. The transport part is what I'm working on from this point
Expanding on the proprietary cable comment, a plus to the system is if you have the cable and adapter that connects your rear frame to the shutter. When connected, inserting and seating your filmholder will close and cock the shutter, making you ready for the exposure (assuming all other steps were taken prior).

2012 Friend of Student Veterans/Military Members Non-University Employee Award
Presented to Jennifer Comer For demonstration of ability and willingness to go above and beyond standard expectations in support of WSU student veterans and military members.
» Jennifer Comer
Jennifer Comer served in the United States Army from June 2002 until May 2007 including two tours to Iraq and many military missions in 32 different countries around the world. She worked with multiple Special Forces and Delta Force teams as the only female where she held the title of "cultural support soldier". Her mission was to do the things her male counterparts could not - to search female locals. Jennifer's job quickly turned into providing emotional support for locals and in turn gaining their trust in efforts to progress forward with cross-cultural relationships. Eventually, her male co-workers gave her the nickname GI JennyBear because of her tough girl ways but motherly instincts. The way she takes on life has not veered much since leaving the military.
In the fall of 2009, Jennifer enrolled here at Weber State and quickly became known as a tenacious advocate for student veterans and military members. Currently, she is serving as the Veteran Student Senator and the Student Veteran of America (SVA) Weber State University Chapter President as well as the Vice President of the Weber State University Social Work Club. She has been an advocate for the creation of a student veteran's center on campus, provided over three years of leadership for WSU student veteran activities, and assisted in the transition of students entering into the academic environment and reintegration into civilian life.
Jennifer is also a mentor for veteran Law Enforcement Academy cadets and the liaison for all veterans attending the WSU Police Academy. She worked with the Veterans Administration to create a process for cadets to purchase needed personal equipment costing upwards of $2,000, which previously had been denied. Her efforts created a model within the National VA system that is currently used in over 50 police academies in the U.S., ultimately making the course more affordable for student veterans. This has resulted in a dramatic increase in student veterans in law enforcement academies across the nation.
She also serves as a Veterans Affairs volunteer and a member of the WSU Military Outreach and Veteran Education (MOVE) Committee. She is a full time student nearing graduation as a dual major in Social Work and Criminal Justice. Over the recent years, she has gained many titles including advocate, student leader, and veteran. But the titles she is most proud of are the ones few people get to see; those titles are wife and mommy.
Jennifer has worked exceptionally hard in the past three years. Her determination has made Weber State more aware of the amount of military and veterans within the student population. Her goal has been to improve the graduation rate of military veterans at WSU. This is a goal that she has, without a doubt, accomplished. She is well deserving of the 2012 Friend of Student Veterans and Military Members award.
2012 Friend of Student Veterans/Military Members Support Organization Award

My PC will not boot up at all!!! There is just a solid orange light on the power button. I have switched the power supply, bought a new processor, and bought a new motherboard. I've called the people at Dell and they didn't even have an answer to my problem. When I first had the problem, there was a solid orange light, so I switched the power supply...same result. Then I got a new processor, but when we booted the PC, the power light was still a solid orange, but this time the CD-ROMN light was also a solid orange color (that didn't happen the first time). So we decided to get a new motherboard. After the switch, it went back to just a solid orange light on the power light and nothing on the CD-ROM. Next, I called Dell technical support and they walked me through a few steps: disconnecting all the cables and removing the memory and booting up.....but no beeps came from the PC. They thought that maybe the motherboard we got might be bad, so we sent for another one....same result. So I'm back to where I started in the beginning. Can anyone out there help me at all......any kind of suggestion that I haven't thought of yet would really help a lot....thanks in advance..
Dell has used proprietary motherboard/power supplies. If you tried using a generic power supply, you might have fried either the motherboard or the power supply and maybe both.
Randomly replacing parts is not an acceptable method of troubleshooting....
Hellz Yea!
You didn't mention your ram. Ram that is not compatible with your mboard can cause no boot - did you add to or change any of the ram in the original mboard just before this happened on the old mboard? Did you transfer the old ram to the new board - if so, it may not be compatible with the new mboard.
"I have switched the power supply"
Are you sure it works, and has enough capacity?
Have you tried the original PS on another computer? Did/does its fan spin properly?
Can you smell any obvious burnt wiring/burnt plastic kind of smell at it's external fan outlet when it is off (if your smeller isn't so good, ask someone else who has a good one to smell it)?
A failing power supply, especially if it fails slowly, can damage things connected to it, and unfortunately what damage it does is random. I've personally seen a few worst cases. One killed a floppy drive and a CD drive, and after replacing it I later found the modem card didn't work properly anymore, and the video card died within a short time - the mboard, ram, and cpu were fine. In two other cases it fried the mboard - in the one I have I haven't been able to test the cpu, but the ram, CD drive, and hard drive was transferred to a new mboard and works fine (the original mboard had onboard video).
I've seen several cases where failing PS's kill the floppy drive first - that is a red flag that the PS is dying.
You didn't mention your video card. If your new mboard is using your old video card, and you haven't tried a different video card in either mboard, a dead video card will cause no boot on most computers.
"Then I got a new processor"
Are you SURE it works in the new mboard - CPU support tables often only apply to faster or later added cpu's if the bios version you have is new enough.
Other than that you've already tried things I would have suggested you try.

Who Wore It Better? « Read Less
You be the judge.
Whose ASOS Ad Is Better? Ellie Goulding VS. Azealia Banks
Sometimes when I present these VS. scenarios to you (most of the time) I already know in my heart who wore it better and am just sitting here hoping you all agree with me so that I am not alone in this cold, cold world (also I'm testing you then judging you). But in this case, even I am truly at a loss. ASOS tapped two of music's biggest It Girls of the moment, Ellie Goulding and Azealia Banks, to be the faces of their holiday 2012 campaign. (They also included Charlotte Free but we didn't count her because she's a supermodel and that's just unfair).
Each girl's ad perfectly captures her personal style: Ellie's look is more tomboyish and edgy with a button-down and blazer is mismatching purple prints paired with shorts, while Azealia's outfit is bold sexy, with a jeweled bustier top and high-waisted skirt.
So here it is, Sophie's choice: Which ad is better?
Hot Or Not? Azealia Banks Wears Pink Jelly Shoes

HealthCare.Gov Site Picks Up Speed | A Look at the New Politics of Obamacare | Tensions Rise Between South Korea, China & Japan | Subprime Auto Loans: The Next Bubble to Burst? | Retro Report: The Making of 'Three Strikes' Laws | Terror Watch Lists Brand Hundreds of Thousands | Can French Troops Tackle Violence in Central African Republic?
HealthCare.gov can reportedly now handle 800,000 users a day. But with Americans rushing to meet the December 23rd enrollment deadline in order to get coverage by January 1st, administration officials admit the site might become overloaded. Congresswoman Diana DeGette, a Democrat representing Colorado's 1st district, is among those who have been concerned.
Now that the deadline has passed for the HealthCare.gov site to be fixed, how are the GOP and Democrats realigning themselves on the battle to dismantle or save the Affordable Care Act? Takeaway Washington Correspondent Todd Zwillich has been following this story and joins The Takeaway to explain how the politics of Obamacare looks going forward.
Last week, China flexed its muscles by unexpectedly declaring an air defense identification zone in the East China Sea, which touches South Korea and Japan. Now tensions are rising between the nations amid this territorial dispute. Joining us today to discuss what this dispute actually signifies is James Fallows, a national correspondent for The Atlantic magazine who has reported on China extensively.
Subprime auto loans are helping to drive the highest rate of new car sales since 2007. But just like the subprime loans that drove the housing bubble collapse before the recession, these loans can cause trouble for consumers and the economy in general. Chris Kukla, senior vice president at the Center for Responsible Lending, joins The Takeaway to lay out the situation.
This week our friends at the Retro Report documentary team take us back to 1992 when Kimber Reynolds, the 18-year-old daughter of Fresno wedding photographer Mike Reynolds, was brutally killed in a robbery. Kimber's death prompted the passage of "Three Strikes" legislation. Karen Sughrue, Retro Report producer, joins The Takeaway.
There are at least 700,000 people on the U.S. terror watch list. For the many individuals it can be nearly impossible to challenge the designation. It's a watch list that very few people are actually watching. Joining The Takeaway to explain is Anya Bernstein, associated professor at the SUNY Buffalo Law School and author of "The Hidden Costs of Terrorist Watch Lists."
In the coming weeks, about 1,000 French soldiers will be taking up new posts in the Central African Republic (CAR). The French government says the violence currently being witnessed in CAR borders on genocide. Hannah McNeish, a freelance journalist just back from the Central African Republic, gives us an update on the sectarian conflict. Author Samuel Laurent is an expert on the lasting legacy of French colonial Africa and critical about his country's response to the crisis.

Octoberfest 2013 takes place along College Ave. in Appleton on Sept. 28.
- Filed Under
Appleton's firefighters enjoy warming residents from their annual Octoberfest chili booth.
That warmth, however, wasn't their top motivator while filling bowls for a hungry crowd 10 days back.
Firefighters this year took on a new charity. They hope to raise $15,000 to benefit Appleton youth as part of the Operation Warm program. Firefighters across the country have taken on the project, and in Appleton, there's a goal of providing 450 new, American-made coats to needy children. They're focusing efforts on students at Lincoln and Columbus elementary schools. ...

Polish MMA fighter, Popek, gets an intentional facial scar to look even more scarier
People say 'I'll see you in hell' but in reality, I don't want to see anyone in hell. I'll see them in hell only if hell was constructed from those white sticks in 'Fun Dip' candy packets. Then hell would be candy heaven and heaven would just be regular heaven. Let's face it, if you had a choice to go to regular heaven or candy heaven, which one would you pick? If you're a diabetic, then candy heaven would be candy hell. Regardless of which hell you end up going to, there's a good chance Popek Rak will be there guarding the gates with some gargantuan pitchfork.
Some of you may remember Popek from his days in Cage Rage, and if you're really into the Polish hip-hop scene, then you've heard some of his 'horror-core' rap when he released his 2008 album entitled 'HeavyWeight.' Now it appears that Popek is in a dead-heat with Datsik on the 'Who's the craziest [expletive] from Eastern Europe' marathon and has undergone facial scarification. For those that are unfamiliar with the body modification, it's exactly what it sounds like. An artist intentionally slices a wide portion of skin in order to create a permanent scar, purely for aesthetic purposes.
Leave it to Popek to bring an entire camera crew to document the process of having someone cut slabs of skin of his face so that he can look even scarier than what he already does. He even got his eyes tattooed again, all in one astronomically painful session. Check out the video below, and be warned, it's friggin' disgusting.

Destiny's biggest expansion to date makes the game a whole lot more enjoyable and easier to recommend.
Undertale combines charming characters, smart writing, and a unique combat system to make one of this fall's biggest surprises.
Game »
consists of 2 releases.
Released Jan 01, 1986
Sure, these days have almost every game sporting the newfangled 3D, but way back when, everyone had to live with plain old 2D. 2D, or two dimensions, limit the game to scrolling backgrounds, but some games even now make use of this basic concept.
For all these games, it is illegal to sell or make them available to minors in Germany and it is illegal to advertise for it in any form. This includes the mere presence of a game in the shelves of a store.
Those who work for the government in the public sector.
Games involving characters that round up local hoodlums for the good of the community.
A powerful release of energy. This energy is usually expelled in all directions very quickly, typically giving off orange or red flames.
In many games that feature team-based competition, "Friendly Fire" is the ability shoot or somehow directly impair ones own teammates.
Graffiti is the practice of painting, etching, stickering, pasting, or in any way marking public or private property with lettering or images for a variety of different ends. Depending on one's perspective, graffiti can be considered either art or vandalism.
In many games there is a ranking system, the players with the highest point value are listed in a "high score" table.
Hostages exist to be saved, guarded, and occasionally executed.
Whether it be a close up shotgun blast, far away sniper rifle, explosive, or backstab, the "one hit kill" is a popular kill strategy. Usually hard to master and even harder to avoid, the instant kill is loved and hated by gamers everywhere.
A parallel projection technique used in 2D sprite-based games to fake the appearance of 3D depth.
The act of killing a child is considered taboo in most games. There are, however, some games that allow this breed of tomfoolery.
Nudity is qualified as either exposed buttocks, breasts, or genitalia or general lack of clothing. Video game nudity is largely a rarity outside of the PC market.
Whether they're getting in the way while you're walking or driving, you always feel the need to trample them.
The police chase consists of the police chasing someone; usually by car. Sometimes the player plays as the guy getting chased and sometimes as the police.
A term used to describe the flow of action in a typical action game, where the pace is pre-defined to feature fast action and require quick reflexes. As the name suggests, these are games where the player character can run and shoot at the same time.
Side-scrolling games present the world as viewed perpendicular to the direction the characters are facing on screen. With a heavy focus on lateral movement, objectives are often met by moving from one end of a stage to the other.

I used to be computer literate when I'd crack the case on a PC, I used to build gaming computers with my best buddy and every so often build a grandma machine for one of our parents cheaply from the leftovers after upgrade paths.
Then I got old and had kids and different hobbies and am not even a gamer anymore, so the wife's comp is a Dell several years old. 99% certain it's well out of warranty.
About a week ago the machine popped up a warning that the HD was failing and to back it up. So we hooked up an external we had through the USB and backed up 286GB using the OS based backup utility (basically clicked the dialog box), I believe the whole contents of the drive.
Ordered two new 1Tb internal drives from newegg (Western Digital WD RE4 WD1003FBYX 1TB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Enterprise Hard Drive -Bare Drive)
Dug out the disks from when we bought the machine, I have a sealed disk with a hologram microsoft label that says Microsoft Works 9, I think that's the bloatware that comes with the computer. My other disk is a Dell branded drivers and utilities dvd marked for reinstalling dell inspiron desktop computer software.
I haven't done this sort of restore in quite this fashion before. The goal is to restore her computer to just as it was, except with a second internal drive installed and automatically backed up through Vista.
The existing HD wasn't totally dead but was dying, I may be able to install a new drive internal as a slave, backup to it, then pull the original and make the new one the boot.
Failing that, what's the process for bringing this machine back to life and then restoring the backup from the USB external? Is this drivers and utilities a bootable disk? Do I have to install new drive and use the disk to format it to factory condition then hook up the external and use restore from backup to overwrite the original?
I have no basic Vista install disks, I've never built a comp with vista, I own WinXP and Win7 install disks, though would have to dig for one or both and the win7 is what I've got on the PC I'm typing this on.
A little help? I used to be a credible PC guy, but I've lost that brain I guess.

Restoring a Vista based Dell

Given that Vista is a complete piece of shit, I would rebuild using the new internal hard drive, putting WIN7 on it. Jumping through hoops to restore an obsolute super-shitty OS seems a pretty big time investment for a fairly undesirable end result.
Posted 18 January 2013 - 11:11 AM
The targeted end result is to put her computer back the way it was before things went south, in settings, software, files, the works.
I used to regularly rebuild my computers on a fresh drive, reinstall the software I wanted and then slave the old drive to the new and copy files as needed. I just want to effectively load a restore point on a new HD in this case.

|The Game Story:
|PHILADELPHIA - Leading 7-5 heading into the fourth period, a rock-solid defensive effort held the Minutemen to just one goal in the final 15:00 to send the men's lacrosse team past Massachusetts, 7-6, in Colonial Athletic Association (CAA) action on Saturday afternoon at Finnesey Field. With the victory, the Hawks pick up their first league win of the season to stand at 4-6 overall and 1-2 in the CAA.
"To beat a team as good as UMass is pretty incredible for us," said head coach Taylor Wray. "Our players deserve all the credit. They beat a great team; UMass is a great team, but we did the things we needed to do. We made saves, we picked up ground balls, we scrapped all over the field, and we finished our opportunities. Coming off of a mid-week loss in the fashion that we lost at Drexel, it's a credit to the character in our locker room that they can bounce back, come out here and perform the way they did today."
Tied 4-4 heading into the second half, Massachusetts (5-5, 0-2 CAA) took the lead on a goal from Will Manny just 2:52 in the third period to give the Minutemen their fifth lead of the game.
Each team would be held scoreless over the next 7:51 before the Hawks exploded for a game-changing 3-0 run that spanned the rest of the period give SJU a 7-5 advantage, its biggest lead of the game. Freshman attack Pat Swanick got the scoring started with a brilliant offensive move as he made a sharp turn around the left side of the cage and put the ball into the lower-left corner to tie the game at five all (4:17). Junior midfielder Johnny Simanski was a key part of the next two goals as he dished out assists to senior attack Kyle Williams and sophomore midfielder Michael Dougherty (1:46, 0:02) to send the Hawks into the final period with the 7-5 lead.
Massachusetts tallied its sixth goal of the game at the 8:42 mark of the fourth. However, junior midfielder Will Abbott won a crucial face-off to hand the Hawks their next possession. After senior midfielder Steve Dunn turned the ball over, he stripped a Minuteman on the next play to regain possession for the Hawks through the next 2:04.
"The guys are going to make mistakes," said Wray. "You have to live with the mistakes. It's all about what you do with the next play. Steve turned it over when he threw the ball away in the clear, but then he stripped the guy two seconds later on defense and we got the ball back. It's the way that the games go, and Steve had a heck of a game."
Sophomore goalkeeper Dustin Keen made two tremendous saves in the final three minutes (2:45, 1:20). After the second save, UMass gained possession with a ground ball, but its clear attempt would fail as senior captain Kyle Mahoney forced a Minuteman turnover with :40 remaining in regulation. SJU would hold onto the possession as time expired.
UMass scored the first goal of the game (9:44) before Dougherty and freshman midfielder Richard Gabelman registered goals (9:02, 1:34) to put the Hawks up 2-1. The Minutemen netted two goals in the final minute (0:43, 0:08) to take a 3-2 into the second period. The Hawks put up a pair of goals sandwiched between a Massachusetts tally to tie the game, four apiece.
Dougherty led the Hawks with two goals and caused four turnovers on the defensive end while Simanski recorded one goal in addition to his two assists. Dunn picked up a team-high four ground balls and caused two turnovers.
Keen was phenomenal in goal, making 13 saves in a full 60-minute effort. The sophomore came through with four crucial stops in the final period to preserve the lead for the Crimson and Gray.
"We tried to limit their shots to outside shots and let Dustin see the ball," said Wray. "He's a good goalie. We did that today and he made all the saves that we asked him to make and stole a few away. He had a tremendous game for us."
In a game that saw a total of six lead changes, there was never more than a one-goal differential until 0:02 left in the third period. UMass held advantages in shots (29-24) and ground balls (21-16) and won nine of 15 face-off opportunities on the day, but the Hawks' defensive unit shut down the Minutemen offense in the final half.
Saint Joseph's returns to action next weekend in the HEADstrong Foundation's first annual Relentless Cup. The Hawks will play Saturday, April 6, against CAA-opponent Hofstra at Ridley High School in Folsom, Pa. Game time is scheduled for 7:00 p.m.

Brit to head up 2013 Tour de France anti-doping strategy
Spotlight will be on this year's Tour following Armstrong scandal
Previous News
Next News
A Brit is to head up the 2013 Tour de France strategy in an attempt to refresh standards following the Amstrong doping scandal.
Colin Clews will be the senior doping controller and oversee all tests, safegueard testing procedures and protect the rights of the cyclists.
It's the first time a Briton has taken on the role, and it comes as the Tour is put under particularly strong pressure to prove that it is clean and fair.
Mr Clews has a strong pedigree in cycling, having started working with the UK Anti Doping organisation more than 20 years ago, later taking on similar roles at the UCI.
He set up the Rutland-Melton International CiCLE Classic in 2005 and has been chief commissaire for mountain biking at two Olympic Games, including London last year, and he is currently working on the Commonwealth Games cycling strategy.
Mr Clews will take charge of the first half of the race, up to and including stage nine, the last of two mountain stages in the Pyrenees.
He told the Melton Times: "I'm very, very proud to be in this position at the biggest race in the world and to be the first British official to undertake this role.
"To look back on the career that I've had and everything I've done, I feel this is the real pinnacle of my career."
Mr Clews added: "I've been involved before with a race where a positive has been declared and you have to be prepared for that. You need a lot of communication skills to ensure the right thing is said; it's still a confidential process after all.
"You have to do everything possible to keep everything on an even keel. It's in the middle of a bike race and the priority is that bike race has to carry on.
"But I hope we won't be in that situation this year."

Perennial high school student Archie has spent decades trying to decide between Betty and Veronica. Some things never change in Riverdale. But some things do.
In a press release issued a few days ago, Archie Comics announced the introduction of the first openly gay character to join the student body of Riverdale High School. Archie, Betty, Veronica, Reggie, and Jughead are about to meet the new kid in town, Kevin Keller.
Jon Goldwater, CEO of Archie Comics put it this way, "The introduction of Kevin is just about keeping the world of Archie Comics current and inclusive. Archie's hometown of Riverdale has always been a safe world for everyone. It just makes sense to have an openly gay character in Archie comic books."
The story line centers around the ever-popular and beautiful Veronica. Apparently the only one unaware of his sexual orientation, she sets her romantic sights on the handsome but unresponsive newcomer. Set for a September release, Kevin's introduction comes in an issue titled, Veronica #202 "Isn't it Bromatic?"
Watch this FeastofFun.com interview with Archie writer and artist Dan Parent:
Personally, I'm not a big comic book fan. I read some Archie comics as a kid, but haven't given the gang much thought since then. Like I imagine is the case with a lot of folks, I was first inclined to wonder what all the fuss was about.
There are plenty of people like me who see sexual orientation as but one part of who we are as human beings. It does not define our character or say anything at all about the kind of people we are. People who are gay are interesting and dull, funny and sober, intelligent and ignorant, honest and dishonest, introverted and extroverted, kindhearted and mean-spirited… well, you get my point. As impossible to define as heterosexuals. Of course, not everyone agrees.
Take a spin around the blogosphere and you'll find that even comic books are not immune to anti-gay sentiment. There is fear of "indoctrination" and the "liberal agenda" of trying to get us used to "gayness" and diversity when we're young…
The word controversial is also being used, but I don't see why it has to be. Kevin is just another kid at school, with his own unique attributes. The fact that he is gay really shouldn't make much of a difference. Pick out any high school. There are gay kids attending, whether you know about them or not. They've always been with us and they always will be with us. Why shouldn't they be able to pick up a comic book and see a character who just happens to be gay? Getting used to diversity is not a bad thing.
Real flesh and blood high school kids who happen to be gay are still having a hard time with acceptance in the year 2010. Witness high school girl Constance McMillen's story. It began with her wanting to attend her high school prom and lead to death threats.
And Care2 writer Steve Williams' own coming out story:
High school shouldn't have to be that difficult. It's only a comic book, but the in-crowd at Riverdale High will make sure that it's not that difficult for Kevin.

they better add another gay character though or he's going to have an unrequited crush on Archie lol
Just because something is abnormal doesn't make it unnatural, or bad. It is abnormal to have red hair, an above-average IQ, or an unusually tall or short stature. Those things aren't good or bad, they're just less common variations of natural human characteristics. Also, the argument that homosexuality is unnatural because it doesn't produce kids is bogus. Gays have been having kids for centuries. Besides, there are a lot of heterosexuals who can't have kids...are you going to say that they're unnatural, too? Do you think they are pretending to be to be infertile to get attention? Consider the possibility that maybe God didn't want to make every single person capable of reproducing.
Great! This new character makes the world of the Archie series much more believable. Kevin's sexual orientation is not in the least bit out of place - the Archie series is all about crushes and teen romance, so they might as well depict it realistically.
"I hate to break it to the world, but homo- sexuality is not normal behavior,"
According to who? YOU? How do you explain the fact that throughout all species there is homosexual behavior? Male dolphins often mate with other males; some dogs will "hump" anything legs, arms, chairs, the same sex of their species - even if they have been spayed or neutered. Sex is not just for procreation.
Are you depending upon Leviticus? Well, when you start stoning your children for smarting off; go back to wearing animal skins - nothing synthetic; stoning adulterers; not eating shellfish or pork and all of the other things passages in Leviticus mention - then you might have a chance of making me believe that GOD doesn't like it. But God didn't even consider it important enough to make it one of the BIG 10. Jesus never even spoke about it. These are facts.
So, I won't call you a hater - but you are mistaken. I don't mind you standing up for your beliefs and for having the courage of your convictions. But your statement was merely your opinion & you should have stated it as such.
I am happy to know about the comics. We are a melting pot, with different views, tendencies, religions, races etc etc... who like to see things that we are related or identify with. Gays or lesbians or whatever, are in this world LONG before our time. Let's give them the R E S P E C T and L O V E that they D O deserve, hurray ...... !!!!!!
Thanks for sharing.
Ignorance is NOT bliss, people. Wake up!
I won't mention the 'name' of the person to which I'm responding, but he posted on 4/28, 2:17. If being gay is not normal, maybe not natural, how about gay bashing, circumcision, contraceptives, including the rhythm method or abstinence? Some things that humans do are less common among animals, but it seems those 'pervert' animals are treated better by their own species than are humans. I hope to see the day that transsexuals, bi's and poly's will also be accepted, especially the latter, representing the closest approach to free expression of the goal of universal love. Instead of "Be fruitful and multiply", "Make Love, not babies, and doublely reduce the causes of war."
First off, congrats to the writers and creators of Archie for bringing this character into the comics!!
Now to all of you that have posted here saying that this is unnatural, sick, disgusting, that it brainwashes the kids, Corrupts kids etc. I ask you how does it do this? We don't go around and corrupt anyone. We are born to be who we are. It is not a learned behavior. I've known I was gay since I was 7 years old. Oh and no I was not molested either. So get that out of your sick heads!
It's people like you with your hate filled mind and talk that brings about "homophobia" in the kids of today. We are not going out and chasing after your kids. They are seeing for themselves that no matter what you tell them, Gays are just as normal as the Hetero's.
What would happen if your child came up to you and said "Mom, Dad, I'm gay." Would you tell them they are disgusting and sick? Would you put them in a place that claims to "cure" gays? If that is what would happen then YOU are the ones that are sick and disgusting. YOU should be the ones put in a place to CURE YOUR Homophobia!!
I am sick and tired of seeing the vile hate filled comments when people stand up and try to show that WE ARE NORMAL PEOPLE TO!!

TOS Urges FDA to be Fair when Judging New Evidence-Based Treatment Approaches for Obesity
On July 15, 2010, the Food & Drug Administration (FDA) and its Advisory Committee on Endocrinologic and Metabolic Drugs held the first of three meetings - initiating a six-month period where the FDA will examine new pharmaceutical treatment avenues for those who struggle with their weight. The focus of the July 15 advisory committee meeting was QNEXA, a new weight loss drug developed by VIVUS, Inc. After a day-long review of the safety and efficacy of QNEXA, the advisory panel decided to not recommend approval for the new drug - citing concerns over lack of any two-year data regarding possible side effects of the drug. TOS Advocacy Task Force Member Dr. Caroline Apovian submitted a statement for the record and also spoke during the public meeting where she urged the FDA to help in finding safe and effective medications for obesity management.

To Clean: Boil nipples for five minutes before first use. After each use, wash nipple in hot, soapy water for about one minute and rinse thoroughly. Dishwasher safe, top rack only.
To prevent a possible choking hazard, test strength of nipple regularly by pulling hard on the nipple. Inspect regularly, especially when baby is teething. If nipple becomes cracked, torn or shows other signs of wear, discontinue use immediately. Do not attempt to enlarge hole in nipple with a pin or other sharp object, as this will cause tearing.
This bottle warmer is great. We use it for every feeding and rely on it so much.This little thing heats up fast and is so convenient. I love this warmer.
You wear this BETWEEN feedings to soothe damaged nipples and for that purpose they work wonderfully. Contrary to what the description on MyOTCStore.com says, You do NOT wear these WHILE nursing, they are non porous and present a serious safety risk to infants if left in place while attempting to breast feed.
again: DO NOT WEAR WHILE FEEDING!
I must say wow for this bottle comes with cap which really convinience for traveling only just for $1, in the other way other bottle kit with cap will goest around $13+ which are too expensive, and the nipple seems to extract all the dust particles to the nipple which cause our daughter to cought for the first two weeks after we finally found out those clear nipple we bought at toy r us are $4-6 for 3 nipples, they extract dust/particles. so we order a bunch of similac nipples which most hospital uses, combine with this bottle, we able to use the cap on top of the similac nipple, but couldn't with any other nipples with this bottle. 4oz bottle is a great size for storing breast pump milks. we also has the medela bottle kit, it has a nice clearly print of the oz # on the bottle but it's fading out within 1.5mon and the nipple isn't that good compare to the similac nipple. so I would highly recommend to get this bottle in combine with similac nipple will make the best combo.
This bottle brush could use improvement. Even if you use a bottle with a large neck opening when you pull the bottle brush out of the neck the bristles splash everywhere and you end up soaked. I think the Dr. Browns on is better cause it has a foam top which isn't as messy. I do like the nipple brush attached but think the design is awkward.

Obama ignores the law — again. President Obama is required to submit an annual budget to Congress every year by Feb. 1. It's not just a tradition, it's the law. But for the fourth year in a row, the Administration ignored this unequivocal requirement. Naturally, his friends in Congress and his allies in the mainstream media have pretty much ignored his flat refusal to obey the law. Are you surprised?
The first Social Security recipient. Ida May Fuller was the first person to receive a monthly benefit check from Social Security. She worked as a legal secretary and paid the new tax for three years, starting in 1936. Her total contribution when she retired was $24.75. She received her first benefit check from Social Security on Jan. 31, 1940. It came to $22.54 — or 91 percent of all the money she paid into the system. She continued to receive a check every month until her death in 1975 at age 100. By then she had collected $22,888.92, or more than 900 times what she contributed. You can be sure you won't do as well.
Ted Cruz proudly bats 0 for 11. So far this year, Ted Cruz, the Tea Party-endorsed junior Senator from Texas, hasn't met a bill he likes enough to vote for it. He has been on the losing side of every Senate vote since taking the oath of office last month. "Sen. Cruz promised the voters of Texas he would take principled stands when it comes to fiscal responsibility and protecting America's sovereignty," said Cruz spokesman Sean Rushton.
The iron is gone from Monopoly. Fans of the board game Monopoly were asked to vote on Facebook to select a new token and also to boot one off. The shoe, wheelbarrow and iron led the list to be dropped, with the iron getting the most votes by the time voting ended. A cat will join a dog as one of eight game pieces. Can you name the others? (A car, a thimble, a shoe, a battleship, a hat and a wheelbarrow.)

The romantic film One Day opened in U.S. theaters yesterday. The film was adapted by David Nicholls from his 2009 novel of the same name and stars Anne Hathaway and Jim Sturgess as as star-crossed would-be lovers, whose lives are presented in 20 one-day glimpses spanning 20 years.
There are two versions of the cover art for the soundtrack. One is for the U.K. CD being distributed by Universal Island Records (below top). The other is for the digital download version from UMG's HIP-O Records (below bottom). Both appear to feature the same 17 tracks. The album includes four tracks from the score by composer Rachel Portman and songs by Elvis Costello, Tears For Fears, and other various artists.

Stunning shots of celestial galaxies
By Francis Andrews in New Photography on Saturday 11 September 2010
These stunning images have made the final cut of the Astronomy Photographers of the Year 2010 award, and hats well and truly off to the people who took them. The shots of celestial galaxies enveloping forests and snowscapes are particularly captivating.

The worst TV ad ever?
By Francis Andrews in New Film on Saturday 28 August 2010
I've watched this advert a few times and it still leaves me shell-shocked, despite having lived in Thailand for a while now and acknowledged that there is an undercurrent of xenophobia. And even racism. But this tops anything I've seen or heard, and it still made it onto national TV.
The Seattle Gum Wall
By Francis Andrews in New Trends on Friday 27 August 2010
Whether tight-lipped local authorities are upset about this perversely attractive sight or not, there's no question that it's killed two birds with one stone: providing a refuge for tasteless gum that won't end up on your shoe, and transforming a bland brick wall into a bit of an urban rainbow. I dig. [Photos via OddityCentral]

The extraordinary skill of a Japanese Glass Ball Juggler
By Francis Andrews in Video on Friday 27 August 2010
These are some pretty insane glass ball juggling skills by a Japanese dude in Tokyo, set to a quirky soundtrack and observed by some clearly perplexed tourists (doesn't the bald guy in the background 'get it', or is he recoiling after being royally tangoed?). Bowie would be proud.

MIA's amazing Born Free video
By Francis Andrews in Video on Tuesday 3 August 2010
This superb video for MIA's recent single, Born Free, was taken off YouTube in April, with the company citing use of 'pornography and gratuitous violence'. It's a powerful piece, with brilliant cinematography and suspense. It's a shame that political correctness blocks people from being able to watch it.
1000 Voices: award-winning animation
By Francis Andrews in Video on Saturday 24 July 2010
This award-winning animation from young UK director Tim Travers Hawkins is pivoted on recorded phone conversations he had with detained asylum seekers in British 'removal centres'. It is visually dark and absorbing. The recordings provide a chilling narrative and a window into the hidden world of these 'invisible' peoples whom the British government, it seems, […]

Banana Bomber's Disgusting
By Francis Andrews in New Music on Friday 16 July 2010
This is a relentlessly crunching tune from UK dubstep producer, Banana Bomber. It just pounds you again and again with three massive drops and a glitchy drum pattern and wicked bassline that can send a crowd mental. The producer is only fifteen years old.

Wild Nothing
By Francis Andrews in New Music on Wednesday 7 July 2010
I'm loving the wispy 'glam-shoegaze' music of Wild Nothing, sounding like a bizarre love triangle between Lush, The Delays and My Bloody Valentine. Despite their ethereal qualities, the melodies are catchy and the guitar flits between a soaring soundscape and rhythmic picking. They've just released a new album, Gemini, and are getting some good props […]
James Mackay's Even Though I'm Free I Am Not
By Francis Andrews in New Photography on Tuesday 28 July 2009
Award-winning photojournalist James Mackay's latest project comes at a time when the world's eyes are fixed on Burma and the trial of Aung San Suu Kyi. By photographing former political prisoners displaying the names of their colleagues and friends who remain behind bars, Even Though I'm Free I Am Not exposes the enduring pain faced by Burma's opposition movement. Over 2,100 activists, journalists, lawyers and politicians languish in prisons across the country, and on Friday Aung San Suu Kyi will likely join them.
Secret Supper Clubs

The blind date of the food world has finally arrived, and it's proving more palatable than the awkwardness of an evening spent in superficial conversation.

He transforms a bed into a 'vessel that captures and contains the audio-memories of past occupiers through sound', allowing those […]

John St. John
Listen to John St. John afternoons from 2 p.m. to 7 p.m. on Big Country 99.5.
The first '45 that I ever owned was, "Big Bad John" by Jimmy Dean and the first song I ever played on the radio was, "Mama Tried" by Merle Haggard. I am Classic Country through and through and I love radio. My father told me not to be a DJ because I would starve. (His brother was a DJ and...did starve a few times) At first I listened to him but I had the bug and eventually started my radio career. The first job in radio that I experienced was taking the station out of tape automation and playing the broadcast of network football...you know, playing the local commercials and identifications. Simple enough but believe me I could mess even that up. Eventually I further paid my dues by doing six hour overnight shifts and sometimes doing two six hour weekend shifts back to back...cause I loved it so much. So here I am now on your radio, still playing country music and I still get to play "Big Bad John" and "Mama Tried." I have two boys that live in Nashville so I get to go to Music City USA often and do the tourist thing just like everyone. I love my job. I love playing Classic Country music...most of the songs I grew up in radio, playing as current songs through the years.
