The current members of the California State Assembly and Senate began the 2013-2014 session under very unique conditions. Although the state, and the nation for that matter, is steadily recovering from the Great Recession of 2008, Governor Brown's management of the budget has alleviated a great deal of pressure and has allowed for improved prospects for this year and beyond.
In a time when much change is necessary statewide, we have been fortunately equipped with Democratic majorities in BOTH the State Assembly and Senate ,which ought to allow for more progressive and compassionate legislation. Yet, we must always remain vigilant and communicate our needs and expectations to our elected officials.
In the current legislative session, bills that will affect our immigrant and undocumented populations include the following:
- AB 4 (Ammiano) – TRUST Act
- AB 60 (Alejo) – Driver's Licenses
- AB 263 (Hernandez) – Employer Retaliation (Immigration-Related)
- AB 275 (Alejo) – Migrant Education
- AB 1159 (Gonzalez) – Immigration Services
- AB 1401 (Committee on Judiciary) – Jury Duty Eligibility
- SB 23 (Lara) – Task Force on New American Integration
- SB 141 (Correa) – Postsecondary Education Benefits (Children of deported or voluntarily departed parents)
- SJR 8 – Joint Resolution in Support of Immigration Reform
AB 4 This bill would prohibit a law enforcement official (police) from detaining an individual on the basis of a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) hold after that individual becomes eligible for release from custody unless specific conditions are met. This would disregard the Secure Communities Program (S-Comm) developed by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and ICE. Read more here.
AB 60 This bill would authorize the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) to issue driver's licenses, other than commercial driver's licenses, to an applicant who provides four specified documents that establish proof of identity, rather than providing a social security number (SSN) or other proof of legal presence in the United States. For more details on newly eligible documentation, read here.
AB 263 Would make it unlawful for an employer to engage in unfair immigration-related practices against any person as retaliation for exercising Labor Code-related rights. These practices include requesting additional or differing documents than are required under federal law, or the refusal to honor documents that reasonably appear to be genuine; using the federal E-Verify system to check the employment authorization status of a person at a time or in a manner not currently authorized; threatening to file or filing a false report to law enforcement; threatening to contact immigration authorities. This bill would also provide that an employee who was subjected to an adverse action is entitled to reinstatement and reimbursement for lost wages. It would also establish penalties for violation of this prohibition. Read more here.
AB 275 This bill will make changes to the federal Migrant Education Program (MEP). It is rather complex, please read more here.
AB 1159 This bill would establish minimum statutory requirements and regulations through the State Bar and Secretary of State for attorneys and immigration consultants who offer immigration reform act services. This looks to provide adequate services once federal immigration reform passes and to protect applicants. Read more here.
AB 1401 Simply put, this bill looks to expand the pool of individuals eligible for jury duty service beyond citizens to permanent legal residents. Read more here.
SB 23 This bill establishes a 15-member task force and, by January 1, 2015, would:
- Require the task force to offer recommendations on protocols and collaboration among governmental agencies to streamline resources to assist immigrant integration; to offer recommendations on integrating immigrants into the state, including whether to establish an Office of New Americans;
- Require the task force, within six months after federal immigration reform is enacted to allow undocumented immigrants to change their legal status, to make recommendations for ensuring the state is ready to provide assistance pursuant to federal law;
- Stipulate that task force members not be compensated, but be reimbursed for their expenses to attend meetings, and requires the task force to meet at least four times annually and at least once within Fresno, Los ANgeles, San Diego, and San Francisco Counties;
- Sunset all of the above on January 1, 2018.
SB 141 This bill would exempt certain students from non-resident tuition charges at the state's public higher education systems if they are U.S. citizens who live abroad due to their parents' deportation. Read more here.

Restoration House International's story started in 2003 when God placed it in the heart of Pastor Ken to birth a "modern-day Book of Acts church"; a place of healing and restoration. This church would be known as the "Citadel of Restoration".After a five-year period of personal restoration, spiritual impartation, and ministry preparation in Pastor Ken's life, the divine manifestation of what the Lord had promised was fulfilled. On Sunday, April 5, 2009, the Citadel of Restoration opened its doors for its inaugural service held at our first worship facility in Silver Spring, MD (St. Stephen Lutheran Church).
In January 2011, we moved our services to Shiloh Church of God 7th Day in Hyattsville, MD to accommodate the rapid growth of the ministry. In July 2012, and after three years of sharing with other churches to house our worship services, we moved into our own worship facility located at 4600 Powder Mill Road, Beltsville, MD.
God has moved in amazing ways and has used this ministry to be the catalyst for a life mission of vision-driven people transformed by His power. Through God's favor and a relentless pursuit of our mission, we will continue to impact the world by remaining that fortified place that's conducive for restoration. From humble and sacrificial beginnings, surely the hand of the Lord is on this ministry, and the best is yet to come!

Indus Towers, India's largest telecom infrastructure company, achieves a key milestone in its sustainable telecom journey by converting half of its portfolio to green sites. In line with its commitment towards protecting the environment, the company has made significant progress in expanding its green sites portfolio to over 62,000 mobile sites across India. Today, Indus Towers operates more than 86,200 sites as outdoor sites, totalling to 70% of portfolio, by eliminating usage of air-conditioners at such sites.
Marquee initiatives like 'Shut AC' program coupled with deployment of disruptive storage solutions have resulted in - significant reduction in direct carbon emissions equivalent to planting 27 million trees and diesel savings of 200 million litres in last five years. Since its inception in 2008, the company has consistently worked towards creating value for all its stakeholders in a sustainable manner with commitment towards green initiatives and 'Putting India First'. Technology innovations continue to be the backbone of every change envisaged at Indus Towers with focus on driving down environmental impact while enabling uninterrupted telecommunication networks.
Speaking on the occasion, Bimal Dayal, Chief Executive Officer, Indus Towers said, "Our vision is to achieve diesel free operations and we are actively exploring deployment of new-age solutions to reach this goal. Technology and innovation remain to be at the core of all our business operations as we focus on sustainable telecom journey for a better India."
Leveraging innovation and technology to reduce environmental impact
Indus Towers uses high-energy efficiency solutions to achieve maximum power output and has been deploying Valve-Regulated Lead-Acid (VRLA) batteries at its sites. Implementing environment-friendly initiatives such as Solar Cooling Units (SCUs) and Simple Power Solutions (SPSs) at sites, the company has saved nearly 40 per cent energy savings since inception. An SCU is a smart and innovative solution that runs independent of power from a grid, battery or diesel and is charged with solar energy. It also uses natural air as its coolant, with zero cost of cooling. The company is also testing Hybrid solar, fuel cells, bio-mass and CNG/PNG energy solutions to power mobile towers.
Energy Use and conservationOne of the accomplishments towards reducing significant power consumption has been replacing air-conditioning with Free Cooling Units (FCUs) and Natural Cooling Units (NCUs) to maximise the conversion of Indoor (ID) to Outdoor (OD) as a part of SHUT AC initiative. The company has reduced energy consumption in mobile towers in addition to lowering carbon emissions.

See, a couple of years ago, my wife and I made the conscious decision to lose weight. However, we did not go on a diet, rather, we made a complete lifestyle change. Hers was a complete conversion to a gluten free lifestyle, while mine consisted of adapting my eating habits by making simple swaps. These included eating grilled/baked chicken instead of fried chicken and homemade (lean ground beef/turkey) burgers instead of McDonalds or Burger king. Those delicious McDonalds fries? Gone. Instead I began to consume vegetables and a baked (sweet) potato. Those absolutely Flamin' Hot Cheetos that were so pleasing to my palate? They were replaced with fruit, yogurt and nuts.
It wasn't simple, but over the course of a year my wife and I lost a combined 100 pounds. We weren't obese before, but looking back at our old pictures it became apparent that the aforementioned lifestyle change was absolutely necessary for the both of us. Although I had sacrificed a wide assortment of food that had previously been a feigning necessity in my life, I could not completely relinquish the urge I had for my ultimate addiction: pizza.
Every weekend I had to consume pizza. I was (and still am) addicted to the aroma, the taste and the gooey cheese that extends like an infinite rubber band when pulled away from an adjacent piece. Every bite and chew pleased my palate incomparably to any other food I had tasted in my life. In addition, I had developed a pervasive emotional connection with pizza that many others subconsciously have with their favorite foods. It reminded me of my favorite childhood moments, exuberant thrills and festive events. Negating this habit, even slightly, would not be an easy task but I was able to accomplish this reluctantly.
I began to cook my own pizza by delving into the world of self taught culinary arts. Initially, I starting making pizzas on prepared crust, but I eventually graduated to making crust from scratch. This way, I could control my calorie intake and decorate my pizzas with as many vegetables as possible without sacrificing the taste I had grown accustomed to. I had successfully counteracted my addiction, into something healthy. Yet and still, I had to tone down my consumption.
Previously, I had been adamant about maintaining a weekly pizza diet. This would soon be transformed into a monthly habit (for the moment) where I was able to control my consumption. I had gained control of my addiction momentarily.
Many don't view food as an addiction on the same level as such hazardous drugs as cocaine despite the fact that it should be. According to David Kessler in The End of Overeating foods that contain ample amounts of fat, sugar or salt (two out of three) stimulate the same sections of the brain that are activated when a person takes drugs. When this perturbing fact is considered, it seems to add more urgency to the fact that we must tame our unhealthy eating habits. It seems God (The Creator, or whatever you call the divine being if you believe in one) has played some type of cruel joke on mankind by supplying us with healthy foods that are not stimulating to our palate. But wait. What if there was a vegetable that was pleasing to our palate while concurrently assisting us with weight loss and a healthy diet?
From my knowledge, that vegetable does not exist, but if you ask a member of the U.S. Congress it very well does exist; as of November 2011 anyway. It turns out that Congress has declared my addiction, into a healthy addiction; so it seems. Based on their knowledge, pizza can be classified as a vegetable because it has tomato paste. Yes, tomato paste. Despite the fact that a tomato is actually classified a fruit, this is ludicrous on many other levels.
This is clearly an effort by the Congress to save money with school lunches by not providing our children (who are overweight at a rate of 33%) with sufficient options for health eating which are almost always more expensive. Instead of providing our overweight children with the necessary knowledge and eating habits to become healthy adults, we are instead fostering behavior that is accepting of shortcuts and nonsensical explanations.
See, had I been raised in an environment where I believed that 4-5 serves of pizza a day was a necessity for a healthy diet, I'd be obese by now and surely I would not have lost any of the weight I worked so hard to eliminate. This faulty logic exhibited by Congress could very well be the reason why future pizza addicts, who suffer from the same ailment as me, may not be able to alter their diet to maintain a healthy weight. Whenever they feel discouraged, they can simply comfort themselves in the faulty logic that they are consuming a vegetable and be fine with that fallacy.
In the game of life excuses never suffice if you plan to win. I can correct my faults and correct the perpetual habit to make excuses to improve my character. However, I can't do the same for fifty-something year old adults who quite possibly will be responsible for continuing the perilous health pandemic in our country.
There's a conspiracy to keep you fat brothers and sisters but we refuse to ignore the obvious signs. Those in power do not care about our well-being and this is just more proof. This means that you and only you are responsible for health. Our government is cheap in regards to our wellness; however we are raised in a propagandist environment that decries any level of frugality. Hypocrisy at its finest. Take care of yourself and do not be duped into believing that regular consumption of your hazardous food addiction, whatever it may be, will actually benefit you over the course of your life. This is no conspiracy theory. It has already become a fact.
[Editor's note: Also keep in mind how this ties in to the pharmaceutical complex and the health industry which rely on you being sick to make a profit. These industries depend on people continuing to be sick along with more people getting sick on a regular basis in order to continue growth of profits. One must consider how these issues tie in with this powerful industry which wields a great deal of lobbying clout in Washington.]

The new issue of Ancient History looks at the darker side of life, both inside and outside of the theme.
Within, we have articles on crime and punishment: Cilician pirates, a murder-robbery, policing and judicial mutilation. Without, we look at slavery and human sacrifice, among other topics. Fortunately, there are some less grim articles too, but the former are oh-so fascinating.

| Monika Karbowska interdite en Ukraine
par Danielle Bleitrach
Voici la lettre que notre amie Monika Karbowska adresse à un certain nombre d'entre nous avec mission de la diffuser , dans ce pays où les défilés à la gloire des nazis et des collaborateurs ukrainiens deviennent habituels, dans ce pays où en toute impunité on brôle 46 personnes dans la maison des syndicats et où après ce crime seules les « mères » des victimes sont inquiétées, dans ce pays où le communisme est interdit, réprimé pour mieux exalter les nazis, le tout avec la bénédiction de BHL et bien d'autres russophobes y compris trotskistes(alors qu'en Ukraine les trotskistes sont également réprimés par les fachos), une communiste ne peut franchir la frontière. Notez que c'est en tant que française (pas polonaise) que Monika est refoulée, qu'en disent les autorités françaises?

There's an uproar at the moment on the interwebs. You may have heard about it.
The iPad will not support Flash.
Just like the iPhone before it, the Flash plug-in cannot and will not run in the iPad's browser. Apple say it's because the Flash plug-in is the single biggest cause of Safari crashes. I can't say I'd blame them for being pissed. The window to the internet on your default install can be crippled by a third party proprietary plug-in. Not cool.
So, because Apple have a closed platform in the iPhone and iPad they can choose who plays ball.
A lot of web folks are predicting the end of Flash. It's on it's way out. along with HTML5 putting the boot in and promising to handle streaming video (possibly Flash's biggest single use online) with acceptable CPU levels on a Mac, there will be a decrease in the plug-in, whilst this may be true, I don't see a funeral anytime soon.
If you also look at who's screaming til they're blue in the face, we see something interesting. It's mostly (if not all) Mac using standards authors who're quick to announce Flash's passing. Mac users. A minority group who've been consistently bummed by Adobe and their plug-in technology for over a decade. We've been second-hand citizens for years with both the Flash authoring app and the web plug-ins. I know people who, years ago, turned from Mac to PC, because their core skill was Flash, and that was an utter cluster-fuck on a Mac.
Even today, watching a 2.something GHz Mac CPU tilting at 50% when running a YouTube video isn't fucking funny. It's obscene, and a slur to all Mac users. Adobe should not be surprised the oppressed masses are now turning.
But really, that's just the technology, what about the software and possibilities it presents?
I have a long history with Flash, which has to some extent tailed off in the recent years. I remember being completely confused by FutureSplash, before it was acquired by Macromedia. I saw my whole world change with the introduction of ActionScript, not the clicking of option boxes, and the fear that I might not "get it". I was invited to the launch of Flash 5 with Subnet, in London with a handful of other companies such as Kerb and Razorfish, teams of young talent who'd been reared on video games and enjoyed creating something new. I've written chapters and articles, tech reviewed, demoed and taught Flash. I know it pretty well.
If Flash goes, we'll lose important things on the web. Diversity, experimentation, inspiration and art. Flash is the single quickest way for a designer to do something quirky, with audio and animation, to tell a story or create an experience, then publish it to the internet. While I'm not Flash's biggest fan, I still think it has it's place, and more so now that it's being used to create elements of a site rather than doing whole sites within Flash.
I don't think Flash will die, and really I hope it doesn't, because the bar for entry into web authoring for young designers and coders may be raised so high, and focussed so narrow, it will stop a lot of abstract and creative talent getting involved.
So just be careful what you wish for.

Alaska 2013, Day 19, Seattle to Canada
Thursday June 20, 2013
Called from Seattle on AK Ferry reservations, cheaper this year than in 2008. Time spent on the phone delayed us leaving Seattle until 11:00. Onto the next leg, Seattle to Whitehorse Yukon. This is about 1500 miles, will take 3 days and there is not a whole lot in between.
We crossed the border in Sumas WA/Abbotsford BC around 12:30.
From Hope BC to Ashcroft BC is the Fraser Canyon, maybe 80 - 100 mi. The canyon reminds me of the Glenwood Canyon in CO but not as narrow and the Fraser River really has volume. They say the volume is due to snow melt in the Rockies and the volume drops by summer. They raft the river but there is no way you could now.
Rained all day, from Seattle all the way the Cache Creek.
Stayed in Brookview CG in Cache Creek.
302 miles today.
3998 miles so far.

GROTH: When you began the New Trend books, since it was entirely new to you, how did you assess the material, and how did you acquire the new artists and writers… Well, you wrote most of the material, but the new artists that came in…
GAINES: Well, remember, I was a big fan of this stuff from the pulps, and the first thing I did was steal as many stories as I could remember from my kid days. I was stealing classics. [Laughter.] I didn't even know it because what I thought was tremendous when I was 10 years old was tremendous. "He Who Shrank" is a classic of science fiction and I swiped it and gave it to Harvey and that was his "Lost in the Microcosm." But it was my memory of "He Who Shrank" and I probably did a good job of remembering it. That's why as a rule today I'm very easy on people who steal my stories because I started out that way. [Laughter.]
GROTH: You stole from Bradbury.
GAINES: Oh yeah, we stole from Bradbury. And Bradbury caught us. He was very good about it, very nice gentleman.
WHITE: He didn't threaten to sue you?
GAINES: No, no… He wrote this fun letter, something to the effect, "I think you've overlooked sending me payment for so-and-so" [laughter].
So we sent him what he wanted, and then we said, "Listen, how about letting us do some more," and where we were in luck with Bradbury was that he was a comics fan. We didn't know that but he was a longtime comics fan and the idea of seeing his stuff in comic books really appealed to him, so we paid him the gigantic sum of $25 a story. Imagine that? But he loved it. Really got a kick out of it.
DECKER: OK. It's been said that the horror books pulled the company out of financial trouble, that Max Gaines died with the company something like $100,000 in debt and Leader News went bankrupt…
GAINES: Well, we're condensing now. Wait a minute. My father died with the business $100,000 in debt, that is true. Leader News did not go bankrupt until eight years later, in about 1955…
GROTH: Owing you $100,000.
GAINES: Yeah. I never thought it was the same sum, but you're right.
DECKER: Anyway, to restate my question — I'm sorry if I got a bit confused there —your father died with the company $100,000 in debt, and the story goes that basically the New Trend, the horror books, made the company prosperous. But there is a span of some years here. Did the mediocre books do well enough to put the company on its feet, more or less?
GAINES: No, they were just breaking even: losing a little, making a little. It was really a shoestring operation in those days. There was almost nobody in the office; everything was freelance. I paid my editors freelance, by the issue, and of course keep this in mind, because this is what leads to the fact that there is a Mad Magazine today, the way I paid my editors. And of course that's an interesting story, which we'll get into. Or do you want to get into it now?
DECKER: Whenever it's most…
GAINES: Well, Kurtzman was very slow. He was putting out two books in a two-month period. Feldstein was very fast and he was putting out seven books in a two-month period. By simple mathematics you can see that Feldstein was making three-and-a-half times as much as Kurtzman. This rankled Harvey, because he felt that his books were better than Feldstein's books, and in one sense they were, but they weren't selling as well, so that was negated. There was no reason in the world to pay Kurtzman more than he was getting unless I also gave Feldstein a raise because Feldstein was putting out three-and-a-half times as much material and making more than three-and-a-half times as much money doing it.
So the only solution I could come up with was to suggest to Harvey that he put out a humor book. Harvey remembers that he suggested to me that he put out a humor book, but that's not what happened. I suggested to him that he put out a humor book because number one, I remembered what I had first seen him doing, which was that stuff he brought in that had me rolling on the floor, and since that day I never saw anything funny from Kurtzman because he never did anything funny for us between then and then — well, a little bit with the science fiction, like "Henry and His Goon Child," but that was droll humor.
I said, "Look, for God's sake, it takes you a month to research Frontline Combat and a month to research Two-Fisted Tales; but you can stick Mad in there; it will take you a week to write it" — it wasn't Mad yet, but it became Mad — "and your income will go up 50 percent," and that's why Mad was born. That's the real, stupid reason why there's a Mad Magazine, because he was discontented with Feldstein working three-and-a-half times as fast as he did. And this was the only way… what am I gonna do? I can't pay him more money; this'll make Al mad. So I said, "Harvey, put out a third book, stick it in between the two war books, and you'll be 50 percent richer right away."
Of course it didn't work that way, because Harvey does everything slowly and meticulously, and there's no way he got Mad out in a week. It took him a month to get Mad out and therefore it threw the whole schedule out of whack [laughter] and it never did work.
GROTH: And it didn't help him a bit.
GAINES: It didn't help him much. But it was a good theory. And it led to Mad Magazine, which really probably never would have been published. I didn't want to publish a humor magazine, that wasn't the stuff I was doing. Our official reason for publishing Mad was, we were "tired of the horror, weary of the science fiction, we wanted to do a comic comic." That was not true, it was just publicity. It was so Kurtzman would get a 50-percent raise.
DECKER: I understand that the schedule on the science fiction and horror titles was really grueling as far as writing them: that you practically had to have a story out virtually…
GAINES: We had to have a story out every day for four days a week. The fifth day we edited, we wrote the letters pages, did all the miscellaneous junk, the covers and the lead-ins and all the other stuff. But Al did write four stories a week. While AI was doing seven books, Johnny Craig of course was doing a book, and I used to work with Johnny in the evenings, so I was doing eight. But Johnny was so slow, so slow. He would take an entire month to write and draw one story. So I only had to work with him one evening a month to come up with a springboard he'd like and then he'd go away for a week and write it. And when he'd come back, we'd get it lettered, and then he'd go away for three or four more weeks and draw it: very slow. It was just his nature. A lot of guys in comics bat stuff out. Johnny never did. Everything had to be perfect, which was too bad, because Johnny made less than Harvey! [Laughter.] How much could he make? He edited six books a year and he wrote and drew 12 stories a year and that's all he did. That's all he did! He worked for no one else.
WHITE: So he was even slower than Kurtzman.
GAINES: Slower than Kurtzman.
GROTH: On your working relationship, my understanding is that you acted as a catalyst for the writer. You didn't actually write, but you came up with springboard, talked it out, and then the writer would go down and write.
GAINES: That's how I worked with both Johnny and with Al. Now, I was on Dexedrine in those days. Dexedrine is something that helps you diet; it's supposed to kill your appetite, but it has a side effect, which I guess is like speed. And I didn't realize it then and I didn't know what speed was; people weren't into things like that then. But I was taking this Dexedrine and as a result of it I couldn't sleep more than three or four hours a night. I went crazy. I finally went on a program where I didn't even attempt to go to sleep until four in the morning and I would get up at seven or eight. The number of crossword puzzles I did in those days is numberless [laughter]. What I would also do is read like a maniac. I would read every science fiction and horror story I could get my hands on. They couldn't publish them fast enough. I went through the anthologies… all the old crap, mostly just to keep busy.
Every time I would read a horror story, I would get three or four springboards. I always read with a pad and pencil, and I would jot down these springboards, each one on a separate piece of paper, and I would bring these in, and I had a wad of springboards that would sink a ship, and my whole thing — this was my life — was to get Feldstein, who would sit in that chair, or what was that chair then in relation to me, and I would try and "sell" him springboard after springboard, and finally I would "sell" him a springboard. As it started to get toward one o'clock I'd start to get hysterical, because we'd been working three hours and he's got to get a script written today, no horsing around [laughter]…
GROTH: Al was a hard sell?
GAINES: He was a very hard sell sometimes. Sometimes I'd sell him in five minutes, sometimes it would take all day. So by one o'clock I would get hysterical, my stomach would be in knots, but I'd finally sell him on something, and he'd say, "OK," he likes that, we'd work it out, and then he'd go away and he'd write it. And he was a very fast writer. Once he had in his mind what he wanted to do, then it was one-two-three.
GROTH: There was never a script; he would write it on the boards.
GAINES: That's the way he worked. He would take his six, seven, or eight sheets of paper, because we had a formula — it was either an eight, seven, or six-page story, he'd take a ruler, rule out the panels, he'd letter right into the panels, he'd hold his lettering three lines down so the letterer could read what he was lettering. Because he used Leroy lettering sets with templates, and you had to leave room for the template. He would block it in, put in the balloons, put in everything, work out the panels, the whole thing was done, and he would come in around four thirty, quarter to five, and it was the big time of the day. And I would sit and read all the stuff out loud, because we were big believers — in fact, we had some letters pages where we suggested to the readers that they read our stories aloud because our stories were really almost designed to be little plays. I would read his story out loud, correcting, making occasional changes, typos or punctuation. Al's biggest kick is if he got me really clutching myself, that this was a fabulous story, which many, many of his stories were. And it was always a big thrill for him for me to read the story and for me to love it, and that was it. Then we'd go home. The next morning the letterer comes in and picks up the story, and we're off on the next one. And that was it, day after day, except for one day a week. That was our life from '50 through '54. Except the last year, we got very tired. Things were lousy, the sales weren't too good, we had all this pressure from the do-gooders as we called them and we started using scriptwriters, and then we'd have them come in and we'd have script conferences and sometimes I'd use my springboards, but frequently they'd bring theirs which were better than mine sometimes because they were fresh and I was tired, and they'd take them home and write them and then Al would tear the whole damn thing apart again. They would bring in a typewritten script and he'd still take it and break it down, rewriting it as he went. He still does practically the same thing now in Mad, but he does it in his typewriter, copycasting as he types. But he still retypes and rewrites every script that goes into Mad, through his typewriter, copycasting.
GROTH: What do you mean "copycasting"?
GAINES: Well, it comes out even, square. There's no loose ends. You've got to count spaces to make that happen. He does that as he types — I don't know how he does that, he writes in casted copy!
GROTH: He must have some kind of instinctual grasp for this.
GAINES: Well, by this time I guess he does, he's been doing it so long. It's crazy, what he does. He doesn't have one of these fancy new typewriters that does it for you automatically. He's got to do it himself.
GROTH: Even back then he must have had some sort of an instinctual grasp, to write on the board and lay it out as he goes on.
GAINES: He saw it as he did it. Now one of the differences between the way Al wrote and the way Harvey wrote is that Al would always give the artist blank pages, and he'd just go over them with the artist and say, "Now, in this panel, so-and-so is happening," and Harvey, of course, like a conductor of an orchestra, made a pencil sketch, pretty tight pencil sketch, of every single panel of every single story, and God help the artist who tried to change it! And of course it was a different way of working. Harvey wanted to draw the story himself but knew that George Evans could draw it better. So he drew it using George Evans's hands, which is practically the way' he would work, if you can think of it that way. This ended up a Kurtzman story in Evans's style, because Kurtzman really drew the damn thing in his head, and made Evans — I just picked Evans because he hated it. He hated it! [Laughter.]
GROTH: In our latest issue we print a letter from Evans with some anecdotes about Harvey.
GAINES: [Laughter.] I think of all the people that Harvey did this to George Evans resented it the most. He really hated it.
GROTH: In his letter, Evans wrote that he would come in with a minor figure in a background of one panel changed, and Harvey would start to sweat and…
GAINES: Well, what would happen is, Harvey was very timid, and he didn't really like to fight with people. And so with Evans more than anybody — I think Evans deliberately did these things — he made a change that he knew would drive Harvey crazy, he knew that Harvey would not have the nerve to say anything about it, and so it would go through, and then after it was over, Harvey would say, "You ruined my story." [Laughter.]
GROTH: That's exactly what Evans said.
GAINES: Well, it's exactly what happened. [Laughter.]

Get to know the Buckeyes senior forward and alternate captain from West Bend, Wis. Steckel, a first-round draft pick of the Los Angeles Kings in the 2001 NHL Entry Draft, enters the Michigan State series just six shy of the 100-point mark for his Ohio State career and five goals short of his 50th career marker.
This season, Steckel is tied for second on the team with 18 points and is tied for the team lead with 12 goals. Against Bowling Green Nov. 29, he scored two shorthanded goals to tie an Ohio State record that had stood since Feb. 14, 1981 (Paul Pooley, vs. BGSU).
What is your major … what do you plan on doing after your hockey career is over?
My major is family financial management in the college of Human Ecology. After my hockey career I plan on using some of the connections I have made throughout the years to find a well-paying, productive and exciting job opportunity.
It's your senior season … how would you like to end your Buckeye career? What are your goals for the season?
I would love to end my season with a ring on my finger. Personally I would love to hit my 100th point and 50-goal point, then follow that up with a CCHA championship/ playoff championship.
How old were you when you started playing hockey, and why did you start? You say grew up with no hockey influence in the family.
I started playing hockey when I was 6 years old. Since no one in my family had played the game before, the influence came from my babysitter. Her son played since he was 4 and everyday after school we would play with the neighborhood kids. Matt was his name and I guess he had all the influence upon my getting started.
Why do you wear No. 39?
I wear number 39 because 14 was taken when I came to Ohio State. So, I took my linemate's number from the U.S. National Team. We played on a line together for two years and he was a great kid. In addition, it's original.
Who is your favorite hockey player and why?
My favorite hockey player is John LeClair. He works hard and puts the puck in the net. Who has been the biggest influence on your hockey career?
Growing up my parents had the biggest influence. If it weren't for them I wouldn't be where I am today. Plus, my junior coaches Jeff Jackson and Bob Mancini had tremendous influences upon the way I play the game.
What do you enjoy doing in your spare time?
I enjoy playing golf.
Who is the toughest CCHA opponent … why? Where is the toughest place to play in the league and why?
I would say Michigan because of the rivalry. Yost is also the toughest place to play in the league. They have great student fan support, which makes for a hostile environment to compete in.
Why did you come to Ohio State?
The facilities around the university are outstanding.
Do you have any pets?
I have a boxer named Dakota who is 10 months old.
What is your college hockey highlight?
Playing Boston College in the NCAA tournament last year.
You competed in the World Junior Championships twice … how did it feel to represent your country in that prestigious tournament with all those scouts watching?
It was very overwhelming at first, but then once you settle down and just play it was the greatest hockey opportunity I could have ever gotten. There is no better feeling than playing for your country and listening to the anthem after a win.
What is the biggest lesson you have learned at Ohio State?
To play your hardest and hold nothing back.
You were drafted by the Los Angeles Kings in the first round of the 2001 NHL Entry Draft … how did it feel to find out you had been picked by them? How does it feel to be a first-round pick?
Being drafted was very exciting. It was a proud moment in my hockey career, especially because I got to share it with so many people. To be a first-round pick means a lot – expectations, leadership and commitment – all of which I have been working very hard at.
How did you spend last summer?
I spent some of my summer out in L.A. and the rest trying to make myself a better hockey player.
What advice would you give to an incoming freshman?
Enjoy the life because it passes by at a rapid pace.

Weather's cold, parking lots are empty. Not much fishing activity going on. This will be my last regular report. I will still update the web page every time some new fishing information comes in. Look us up on the Internet for winter fishing information.
Striped bass are feeding on shad in deep water. Most shad are seen on the graph at depths greater than 60 feet. There is not an overabundance of shad remaining so every fish concentration seen on the graph is a potential striped bass spot. Normally the spot to start looking is midway back in a short canyon and 2/3 back in a long canyon. Start searching at 80 feet keeping in mind that stripers above 60 feet are the easiest to catch. Look for humps, ridges, drop offs, and shelves. If fish traces are not found try dropping spoons or bait along the edges of prominent underwater structure. Sometimes stripers are in close proximity to the bottom and not distinguishable on the graph. Spend only a few minutes fishing where no fish traces are seen.
It is much better to find traces and fish at the depth where fish are seen. Use a floating marker to mark a school's location. Return to the marker to start a new drift when the breeze moves the boat away from the school. Chumming is now advisable if fishing bait. Use an anchor to stay near fish and in the area that was chummed.
Stripers are found on winter feeding grounds in main Warm Creek, Last Chance, and between Good Hope Bay and Hite. There are not many stripers at the Rincon and other midlake locations.
Smallmouth bass are still catchable. On November 9 the wind quit blowing long enough for us to spend a productive afternoon fishing at the Rincon. Water temperature was 59. Two anglers using watermelon single tail grubs started drifting with the wind along the 3 mile long rock slide downstream from the west Rincon. Smallmouth bit steadily from beginning to end for over 4 hours. Total catch was 66 bass from 6 to 13 inches. That was fun.
This pattern is repeatable. Afternoons are productive but anytime during the day is good. As temperature continues to drop it will be necessary to use a slow bottom bumping, swimming retrieve instead of a normal hopping retrieve to get good results. Depth varies from right on shore to 40 feet. If nothing happens shallow turn around and try dropping the grub in deep water.
Catfish are catchable at night and stripers can be attracted to artificial light and caught with bait in a boat anchored in 50 feet of water near shad traces.

This is for those out there who like playing the game… You know who you are! You've experimented with having multiple credit cards and transferring your card balances between the two credit cards to keep paying a super low rate of interest whenever they have a low interest rate balance transfer promotion.
Well, if you are really in the mood, how about this one… If you have a credit card that periodically will have an offer to give you a low rate of interest on cheques written from your credit card for 3 months or 6 months or whatever, then assuming that you have no credit card debt, you could write a cheque to yourself and deposit it into a high interest rate savings account. Let's take an example:
Your credit card is offering a 0% interest rate on all cash advance cheques for 6 months. HSBC (example) is offering 5% interest on it's high interest savings account. Let's say you write a cheque to yourself and deposit it to HSBC for $10,000. You will earn $250.00 in interest over those 6 months that you didn't have before! Keep in mind though that you will have to pay the monthly minimum payment to your credit card company – which you can take from your new savings account. Right before the 0% interest rate promotion ends, remember to pay off the credit card with the balance of your high-interest savings account… :)

Sleeping in on the Weekends is Actually Good for Your Health
Posted By Erin on Sep 2, 2016
Life is full of stress. From your job to car payments, we sometimes focus too much on the things in life that bring us down. These things manifest sometimes as an expensive mattress, lucky for you Nectar has a rent to own mattress to take one of those things off your plate. Want some more good news? Remember a few years ago when sleep scientists said that sleeping in on the weekends may not be beneficial to your health? Well a new study shows that the sleep you catch on Saturdays and Sundays actually could be beneficial to you.
BMI Buzz
A new Cosmo article recently highlighted the study, which showed that people who got more sleep on the weekend had lower BMIs than people who didn't, even when those people got the same amount of sleep during the week. BMI stands for Body Mass Index, and is a good measurement for overall health. It uses body fat, weight, and height to identify potential health risks in the short and long term. Stress is shown to be a definite factor, but we know one thing that won't stress you: a reasonable price on a great rent to own mattress from Nectar.
Sleep Catch Up
The South Korean study took over two thousand patients and measured the sleep they were getting as well as other factors (including the previous mentioned BMI, stress levels, etc) to come up with a comprehensive sleep profile. Their results were surprising: Weekend sleep extension may have biological protective effects in preventing sleep-restriction induced or related obesity. The results suggest a simple population-level strategy to minimize effects of sleep loss. The study recommended that getting a full seven to nine hours a week (as highlighted in previous Nectar blog posts) was optimal, but if that wasn't an option, that sleep on the weekends actually did lead to some short and long term results. Those results could make the difference between developing sleep related illness (like heart disease, obesity, and hormone deficiency) or not. To us it feels like a no-brainer, kind of like a rent to own mattress from Nectar. The results speak for themselves. So if you're looking to save some cash and live for the weekend, this is great news! The money you save on a rent to own mattress will give you the spare change you need to have fun all weekend. That means you can rest easy, knowing that Nectar has your back (and your front, depending on how you sleep). Now get going and catch up on those Z's!

Thank you for subscribing! I'm honored to have you join my tribe of WELLNESS WARRIORS.
WELLNESS is not just what your weight is, what you're eating, if you lift weights or lift bon-bons. It's about the entire YOU.
I believe:
FOOD is the FOUNDATION. You can't out run a shitty diet, just like you can't improve your health on junk. Eat whole food, raise your vibration, support your body's systems and things will begin to fall into place.
WHO you are BEING, THINKING, as you go about your life, is your mental health. What do you believe is true for you? What do you make things in your life mean about you? How can you break through mental blocks to your health, success, and more?
SPIRIT/SOUL is the cherry on top. This is your highest self and when you know this part of yourself, you treat the thinking and physical part of yourself better. Not
because you have to, but because you want to. To connect with this part of yourself, you have to clear the clutter of the attachments to those around you on an energetic level. You have to get quiet. You have to go within. You have to listen, connect and trust. Your SOUL will tell you what you need to do to heal your body, for example. I want to help you find her/him, connect and nourish that relationship that spans across time, through a veil to a place that only you can see.
THIS is the essence of my online community. If you are interested in whole food, clean eating as a lifestyle and health promoting way of being; you aren't afraid to ask questions, answer questions and give support and you have a positive upbeat attitude, I'd love to have you join me!

William Egglestone in mind.
San Christobal and Pulacayo
September 30, 2010 § Leave a comment
2 days after my small marathon walk I arrived in San Christobal (by bus!). San Christobal used to be a small village on the Altiplano, until hugh amounts of silver, zinc and other minerals where found right under the village and in the nearby mountains. A north american (now japanese) company was licensed to start a gigantic mining project there, which included moving the whole village 20 kilometers away and build it from scratch (one interesting parallel to the west german stone coal mining area near cologne, where villages have been moved as well).
Now the San Christibal open cast mine is one of the biggest mines in the world. I drove to a view point in the mountains that allow a great view on the mine but also on the salar.
Here a first polaroid, but you can hardly see how big it is and it's also really hard to photograph such a gigantic area.
I wanted to visit San Christobal because of this view but I was also curios: when a whole village gets newly build from scratch, obviously with quite some money from the company, would a really nice and well organized place be the result? No! The village is maybe slightly newer, but it otherwise doesn't look more modern than other bolivian places (new San Christobal is from the late 90's.)
The japanese company Sumitomo plans to mine there until appr. 2020, so only 10 years more. 1700 miners work for the company, which is the vast majority of the village's population. But what happens after 2020? I spoke to one guy how works for the San Christobal foundation (got funded by the mining company), and he said that as soon as the last minerals will be exploited, San Christibal will most likely turn into a ghost town.
Almost 3 weeks ago a did a day trip from Uyuni to an old, almost completely abandonded place called Pulacayo. The first decades of the last century, Pulacayo was one of the most important silver mines of Bolivia. Then, ca. 60 years ago, there was nothing else to mine in Pulacayo and it place quickly turned into a ghost city.
Today, you can still see all the buildings and even the entry of the mine which is wide open:
Another pic of the former mining town:
That's one of the things I really find interesting: what role played mining for Bolivia in the last centuries, and what potentials are there for the next decades?
But coming back to San Christobal. During my trip I haven't seen that many solar panels or other ways of using re-newable energies, but here I did.
Solar panels on the roof of the San Christobal foundation.
And I guess it's thermal panels for hot water (does anyone know better?) on a hotel roof.
So here is some random stuff from daily life.
I like pigs ind my pics.
Afternoon coffee in my room.
Every single food place / restaurant has a TV, usually showing soaps or soccer and always way to loud.
And when the TV is on there is almost no communication left between the people.
Maybe it doesn't look like that but the chicken was the best I had in Bolivia.
Last but not least some impressions of my "alojamiento" in S.C.
They said they had washed the mattrasses. ???
And from the outside.Top left, my room. Would be a nice view on the plaza, if the windows were not so dirty.

Squiggly Gets Glasses by Dawn Clark Review
This is a great book that reminds kids not to be bullies. I love that Squiggly is different and yet he is the same as the other kids. I was also glad when he was doing better at school and getting good grades. I liked the illustrations and was happy with the overall happy feeling of the book. I am giving this book a 5/5. I was given a copy to review, however all opinions are my own.

I was checking out at the grocery store the other day and the kid who was working at the cash register was talking to the ladies just before me in line. They were heavily tattooed and he told them that he wanted to be. He explained that he was still living with his parents so he couldn't get a tatoo but that he would be moving out soon and then there would be nothing that they could do about it except for "anger, anger, anger."
That's the law. The law prohibits behaviors but does nothing related to the heart. I'm sure that the parents would have loved it if their son had shared values but what he knew with clarity was the prohibited behaviors. The emotions of his desire and their anticipated anger were all tied to the choices he could and couldn't make.
Grace releases others to choose and experience. The parents prohibition within the boundaries of their headship is not wrong, but the net result they are looking for will only be accomplished through a heart level realization of their intentions towards their son. That is, he has to know that their "rules" are for his good.
This is no easy task, the balance between order and freedom when stewarding the responsibility of leadership. There is no formula and no perfect way to pull it off. My best interpretation of how to pull it off would be something like "a decreasing control upon evidence of maturity which is constantly dependent on a heart towards the individual best interests of another." Whatever that means. The plan is great until the first shot is fired, so to speak.
A hug, an encouraging word, affirmation of strengths which calls out purpose are all tools towards relational collateral. Jesus sees the best in us . . . He encourages, affirms and comforts. He sees the things that we choose which are harmful or outside of His best (not to say that tattoos are bad), yet He allows them to unfold with the consistency of a heart for relationship. The consequences are ours to experience . . . not His to control for us.
When we get a fresh glimpse of who He is to us and how He loves us, we are infinitely better equipped to be Christ-like towards others. Glimpses of our own frailty allows for grace in how we deal with others, including our own children.

Addiction Treatment Programs for Port Orange, Florida Residents
If you are thinking about getting rid of a bad drug and alcohol abuse habit, you might be wondering what happens at a program for drug and alcohol treatment in Port Orange, Florida. While everyone's experience is uniquely their own, there are some aspects of these programs that are typical of most people who are in need for help in kicking their drug and alcohol abuse habit. Reputable Port Orange Drug Rehab Programs can help those struggling with addiction achieve lifelong sobriety with the right treatment method and a positive attitude.
Port Orange Drug Rehab Programs and Local Addiction Treatment Help
There are several Port Orange drug rehab programs available to the public, that are both free and open to all who wish to achieve sobriety. Of course, quitting the abuse of drugs or alcohol is difficult. There is no question about this fact. Having said that, it has been known that maintaining sobriety is the most difficult part.
Without the daily utilization of coping mechanisms, one will eventually relapse just to numb the pain of whatever is plaguing them in that moment. Addicts and alcoholics alike typically resort to addictive substances when presented with an undesirable situation. They would rather just numb themselves rather than having to face their problems head-on.
Luckily for these individuals that reside in Port Orange, Florida or another city within the nearby areas of Volusia County, there are fantastic Port Orange drug rehab programs to help. There are 12-step programs like NA and AA to help them maintain sobriety through compassionate care and support from fellow AA and NA members, as well as state-mandated treatment options provided by the Florida Department of Health. To learn more about the Florida Department of Health and their efforts with respect to substance abuse issues in the state of Florida, click here.

AA Meetings in Port Orange, Florida
AA (Alcoholics Anonymous) is a non-profit fellowship of people that join in unison at AA meetings to help each other stay sober. Though regular attendance, abstaining from alcohol intake, and properly practicing the guidelines of the 12-steps of the AA program, recovering alcoholics are making the necessary steps to achieve sobriety for the lifetime.
The set of principals listed in the 12 steps of AA are easy to follow, though they take a lot of self-honesty, hard work, and dedication with respect to working the steps the proper way. Unless an alcoholic is 100% motivated in remaining sober and achieve lifelong sobriety, relapse is inevitable and it can cause them to lose all hope of ever getting better. AA has helped many people achieve sobriety and it can help you. too. For a list of AA meetings in your area in Volusia County, click here.
NA Meetings in Port Orange, Florida
NA (Narcotics Anonymous) is very similar to that of AA in the sense that it also is a 12-step program that has a guided set of principals practiced for the sole reason of maintaining sobriety for the lifetime. People that attend NA meetings are making the proper steps in order to improve themselves in all aspects of their lives, not just in recovery.
Recovery is a lifelong process that involves admitting to oneself that they are powerless over addictive substances and that they only make their lives unmanageable. In order to maintain one's sobriety from drug and alcohol addiction, they must maintain the motivation, open-minded, and willingness to change for the better. To learn more about NA and for a list of NA meetings in Volusia County, click here.
