Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 096746370X, Paperback)New Second Edition
The weekend explorer will find a fascinating area of California's rich gold rush history--The Rand Mining District--two hours north of Los Angeles. This is an area of wealth painfully scratched from the earth and all quickly lost, an era of ne'er-do-wells and dreamers, the lucky and the desperate. Here is a newly-revised and reworked edition of a popular guide to this fascinating mining district.
Splendidly Illustrated This book includes nine road maps to fascinating trips in the area, and 25 pages of photographs, including rare historic views.
An Historic Guide to the Area as well as a Road Guide for the Car This book encompasses a roughly rectangular territory from Red Rock Canyon on the west to the Pinnacles on the east. Within this area lie hundreds of mines, camps and diggings from by-gone days. Silent sentinels marking the hopes and dreams of the thousands of men who sought their fortune in the blazing sun of the eastern Mojave Desert. From the modern workings of the Yellow Aster Mine to the nameless prospects of the less than lucky miner. The traveler is introduced to the remains of one of California's most active mining areas.
A Valuable Handbook to Keep A day-trip guide for the off-road explorer, the desert enthusiast and the gold camp history buff, this includes detailed maps and directions for nine day trips, as well as historical background and anecdotes to enhance the traveler's appreciation of each site. Two and four-wheel drive suitable roads are clearly identified.

Vikings running back Adrian Peterson is technically considered 50-50 for Sunday's game versus the Eagles, but that's actually an encouraging sign. Earlier this week, the team didn't seem optimistic on Peterson's chances of playing after suffering a sprained right foot in the previous game. Now, head coach Leslie Frazier's tune has changed for the better. He said that Peterson was able to plant and burst off of his injured foot.
"It was impressive when you consider the early diagnosis," Frazier said of Peterson. "He's unique. Very unique. He's so different than everybody else when it comes to recovering from injuries. We've been in situations in the past where you thought he wouldn't make it and he made it. So it was always in the back of my mind the chance he would make it. He's amazing."
Backup running back Toby Gerhart is also listed as questionable because of a hamstring injury. He, like Peterson, went through light practice Friday.
Fantasy Analysis:
Peterson said he still feels pain in his foot, but added "it's at the point where you have to suck some of the pain up." Frazier said he hopes to make a firm decision on Peterson's game status by Saturday after seeing how his foot responds to Friday's workout. We might have another update on this story tomorrow, but Peterson's owners should feel fairly comfortable that their man will suit up this weekend.

On Scholarship: Hilo's Aliyah Pana signs with Vulcans
Aliyah Pana had an all-around basketball skill-set fit for the next level, but she wasn't ready to leave home.
The University of Hawaii at Hilo had a scholarship spot to fill.
Neither had to go far to find what they wanted.
The Vulcans made Pana their lone signed recruit for 2014 after the recent Hilo High graduate opted to stay on the Big Island and turned down a handful of offers from Division III and junior colleges on the West Coast.
"Growing up, I wanted to leave," Pana said, "but I wasn't ready yet. I need a transition."
Playing alongside younger sister Alexis under father/coach Ben Pana, Aliyah Pana helped rejuvenate Lady Vikings basketball.
Hilo ended a 17-year Hawaii High School Athletic Association drought in 2013, and the 5-foot-9 Pana averaged 13 points, 7 rebounds and 3 assists last season as the Vikings once again finished in the top four in the state as the Big Island Interscholastic Federation runner-up.
"UH-H likes that I can play inside and outside," said Pana, whose scholarship covers tuition and books. "I'm just going to come in and work hard."
When asked about the development of her game going forward, Pana paused.
Ben Pana did not.
"The biggest improvement is to work on speed of the game," said Ben Pana, who likes his teams to play at an up-tempo pace. "The speed at the college level is so much quicker than at the high school level."
Aliyah Pana was a do-it-all player in high school, and Vulcans coach David Kaneshiro was searching for one after the graduation of Kamie Imai, who was second on the team in scoring and the leader in rebounds and assists.
Kaneshiro projected Pana as a perimeter player, likely either at shooting guard or small forward.
"I like a lot of things about her," Kaneshiro said. "She's versatile, she's a hard worker, a smart player and was a leader for her team. She can do a lot of positive things for us."
While the majority of his recruits have been two-year players, Kaneshiro said he'd like to strike a balance between recruiting junior college and high school players.
"It's a year-to-year situation," he said. "Compared to the schools on the West Coast, we don't have as large of a pool.
"We don't shut the door on anyone, but if it's Hilo homegrown, all the better."
The Vulcans are coming off a 9-16 campaign in which they advanced to the Pacific West Conference postseason for the second consecutive season.
Besides the loss of Imai, Kaneshiro said he expects last year's team to return intact.
Could a senior-laden squad develop strong chemistry?
"The names are the same," he said. "I don't think as a coach you can assume that things are going to stay the same.
"Maybe we come together a little quicker as everybody understands what we're trying to do, but you can't skip steps."

1983 Zine Unearthed!
I just scanned and posted a zine I did THIRTY YEARS AGO!! ACK! I posted a pdf HERE if you want to check it out- "Viva Boheme" was an Iowa City punk zine....
My latest mini comic is out now!
Gordie Page, 28, vanished from his bedroom at a foster care home in Grand Rapids, Michigan on the night of May 27, 1991. Page left no clues as to where he was going or why he left the home. He was not carrying any identification or cash when he left. The case remains unsolved.
This is the true story of Gordon Page, Jr. It is a 10 page mini comic, all in black and white and measures about 7x5 inches. If you like non-fiction comics or comics based on history or real events, you may enjoy this comic.
Here's a snippet of a review from Justin Giampoali of thirteenminutes.blogspot.com:
I enjoyed the story; in the end, a sad one about someone probably just trying to get home to his parents when he disappeared. Details like the baseball cards are chilling in their precision, but also logical given savant tendencies on the autism spectrum. The most disturbing aspect of this for me was that Hendricks captures a time period in the health care system that saw the rise in overmedication coupled with misdiagnosis, a silent epidemic that never really had any regulatory or legal repercussions for health care workers supposedly acting in good faith. Fans of any true crime or "Unsolved Mysteries" style shows are a group I can easily recommend this to, especially at the low risk price of just $1. Grade B+.

Dear Readers,
The new issue of Musea is at the usual suspected places, in the mail, and now on my Musea website at http://www.musea.us/xmas2012.html
This year our annual Xmas story is about detective, Leo Mars:
Here is the first paragraphs
Happy Holidays Readers! ! Here is our annual Musea Christmas Story. Take a rest from your busy schedule and find out about the latest case of the detective, Leo Mars. On this, Musea's 20th year, I wish you all a great Christmas season and an even better New Year - Tom.
My name is Leo Mars. I'm a private investigator. I tried to be a cop but couldn't pass the tests. Better for me though. I can charge more and do what I want.
Two things happen when someone hires me. They're desperate and they don't really expect much. It's an easy con to charge a lot and do little. Some other detectives do. But I don't. You'd loose out in the long run. All of us have dry times and if I wasn't very good, I'd be starving in a food line like most detectives these days.
My case came about this way. Mr. Harcourt called me up. He sounded like one of those powerful men, take charge, no nonsense, guys. He didn't want to come down to my office. Wanted me to go up to his home for a check-see. OK. That's fine. So I go to his address up in the hills..... (continued)
Tom Hendricks
(editor of the 20 year old zine Musea)

Fish Bowl
Somehow "fish stew" ($10.99) doesn't sound half as appetizing as peixada à brasileira, its Portuguese translation, found on the menu of Emporio Brazilian Cafe (12288 Westheimer, 281-293-7442). But no matter what you call it, it's a heartwarming meal that comes with enough seafood -- shrimp, calamari and pieces of salmon and cod -- to please the hungriest of fishermen. The seafood is sautéed with onions, bell peppers and tomatoes in olive oil and saffron-infused coconut milk, creating an incredibly creamy blend of seafood flavors. Plain white rice served on the side is perfect for absorbing the extra yellow-hued broth at the bottom of the dish.

Humboldt County Sheriff's Office prepares to take over coroner duties
EUREKA- The Humboldt County Sheriff's Office is preparing for a rapid transition that will make Sheriff Mike Downey, the county's new coroner and public administrator.
On Tuesday the Board of Supervisors voted to pass an ordinance consolidating the two offices. Effective January 30, Coroner Dave Parris will retire, passing his responsibilities on to the sheriff. With just two months to prepare for the new role, the sheriff's office says they are working to make the transition as smooth as possible.
"In the transition there's going to be some bumps and a learning curve so we're going to do our best to maintain that public service throughout that whole time and make sure that the county doesn't and the people don't see any changes in service," said Humboldt County Undersheriff Bill Honsal. "That's the important thing, that the service will still be there when the need arises the coroner will respond to take care of things."
The supervisors will officially adopt the ordinance at their next meeting on December 9.

Dell Learns to Listen
In the age of customers empowered by blogs and social media, Dell has leapt from worst to first.
Start with the worst. In June, 2005, I unwittingly unleashed a blog storm around the computer company. Terminally frustrated with a lemony laptop and torturous service, I vented steam on my blog under the headline: "Dell sucks." That's not quite as juvenile as it sounds, for a Google (GOOG) search on any brand followed by "sucks" reveals the true Consumer Reports for that company's customers. Thousands of frustrated consumers eventually commented on and linked to my blog, saying, "I agree." They were a leading indicator of Dell's problems, which the company—and analysts and reporters covering it—should have heeded. My story ended, I thought, that August when, after returning the Dell and buying a Mac, I blogged an open letter to Michael Dell suggesting his company read blogs, write blogs, ask customers for guidance, and "join the conversation your customers are having without you."
The following April, Dell (DELL) did join that conversation. It dispatched technicians to reach out to complaining bloggers and solve their problems, earning pleasantly surprised buzz in return. That July, Dell started its Direct2Dell blog, where it quickly had to deal with a burning-battery issue and where chief blogger Lionel Menchaca gave the company a frank and credible human voice. Last February, Michael Dell launched IdeaStorm.com, asking customers to tell the company what to do. Dell is following their advice, selling Linux computers and reducing the promotional "bloatware" that clogs machines. Today, Dell even enables customers to rate its products on its site.
Has Dell really gotten the blog religion? I recently visited the company's Round Rock (Tex.) headquarters to find out. Founder Dell, who took back the CEO reins in January, acknowledges its problems—"We screwed up, right?" But then he starts to sound like a blogger himself: "These conversations are going to occur whether you like it or not, O.K.? Well, do you want to be part of that or not? My argument is you absolutely do. You can learn from that. You can improve your reaction time. And you can be a better company by listening and being involved in that conversation."
New Metrics for Success
Dell's worst problem had been that customers were having too many of the wrong conversations with too many service technicians in too many countries. "It was a real mess," confesses Dick Hunter, former head of manufacturing and now head of customer service. Dell's DNA of cost-cutting "got in the way," Hunter says. "In order to become very efficient, I think we became ineffective."
Hunter has increased service spending 35%, cut outsourcing partners from 14 to 6 (and is headed to 3), and retrained staff to take on more problems and responsibility (higher-end techs can scrap their phone scripts; techs in other countries learn empathy). Crucially, Hunter also stopped counting the "handle time" per call that rushed representatives and motivated them to transfer customers so they would be someone else's problem. At Dell's worst, more than 7,000 of the 400,000 customers calling each week suffered transfers more than seven times. Today, the transfer rate has fallen from 45% to 18%. Now Hunter tracks the minutes per resolution of a problem, which runs in the 40s. His favorite acronym mantra (among many) is RI1: resolve in one call. (Apple (AAPL) claims it resolves 90% of problems in one call.) He is also experimenting with outreach e-mails and chatty phone calls to 5,000 selected New Yorkers before problems strike, trying to replace the brother-in-law as their trusted adviser.
Has It Made a Difference?
The crucial word you hear at Dell is "relationship." Dell blogger Menchaca has led the charge in convincing bloggers that "real people are here to listen," and so he diligently responds and links to critics, and holds up his end of the conversation. "You can't fake it," he says. Dell's team is stanching the flow of bad buzz. By Dell's measure, negative blog posts about it have dropped from 49% to 22%. And the Dell Hell posts on my blog, which used to come up high on a Google search for the company, are now relegated to second-page search-engine Siberia. "That change in perception just doesn't happen with a press release," Menchaca says.
But reality still has to catch up to perception. To this day, I get blog comments and e-mails from disgruntled Dell customers. The University of Michigan's PC satisfaction scores show Dell dropping from 78% in 2006 to 74% this year. Internal Dell measurements showed satisfaction was actually much worse than that. A year ago, it was 58% among core users, even lower in the high end. That, Hunter says, made the boss "go ballistic." Today, Hunter's measurements show satisfaction among high-end customers at more than 80% and among core consumers at 74%—numbers that he says must further improve."I think what the Web has brought is the voice of that 25%," Hunter says.
Customer Collaboration
But the opportunities created by the conversation go far beyond dousing fires. The cant among executives trying to play the Web 2.0 game is that the customer is in charge. Well, if you really mean that, if you cede control to your customers, they can add tremendous value. Dell's customers not only make product suggestions and warn of problems, they help fellow customers fix them. Today, customers share their knowledge in so many ways that Dell's team says the challenge is to manage that knowledge and spread it.
To enable collaboration, the company is starting wikis that users can edit together. To encourage interaction, Dell plans to experiment with loyalty programs, rewarding good customers with gifts, opportunities to meet Michael, service upgrades, and possibly discounts. I ask whether they'd compensate helpful users, creating a marketplace of advice.
But Manish Mehta, head of e-commerce, is uncomfortable with payment, fearing it might compromise the credibility of these customers in their communities. And credible advocates are at the heart of the strategy Dell's new chief marketing officer, Mark Jarvis, is devising. "By listening to our customers," he says, "that is actually the most perfect form of marketing you could have."
I contend that this marks a fundamental shift in the relationship of customers with companies. Dell and its customers are collaborating on new forms of content and marketing, but note that they are doing this without the help of media and marketing companies.
Michael Dell predicts that customer relationships will "continue to be more intimate." He even speaks of "co-creation of products and services," a radical notion from a giant manufacturer. "I'm sure there's a lot of things that I can't even imagine, but our customers can imagine," Dell says, still sounding very bloggish. "A company this size is not going to be about a couple of people coming up with ideas. It's going to be about millions of people and harnessing the power of those ideas." Once you can hear them.

Brown County residents reject courthouse upgrade
Officials in a southern Indiana county that's a popular fall tourist destination are pondering the future of their outdated courthouse after residents overwhelming rejected a property tax increase that would have paid for an upgrade of the nearly 130-year-old building.
The final tally on petitions submitted for the $6.5 million renovation of the Brown County Courthouse was 182 for and 1,457 against.
County Clerk Beth Mulry supported the project partly because her office in the Nashville courthouse is crowded. She says she understands "as a taxpayer, the financial burden of any property tax increase."
County commissioner John Kennard tells The Herald-Times officials need to find a way to make limited improvements at the 1884 courthouse, which needs to be brought into compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act.

A part-time house DJ from Hackney has been crowned this year's MasterChef champion after preparing a knockout menu for the final challenge.
Natalie Coleman, 29, impressed judges John Torode and Gregg Wallace with lobster tails, roast pork belly and vanilla chocolate panna cotta.
"This is probably the best thing that's ever happened to me in my life," said Coleman, who works as a credit controller. "It's like a fairytale really, the girl from Hackney done good."
Viewers won't have been too surprised to see Coleman emerge victorious over the other two finalists. At the semi-final stage, celebrity chef and guest judge Marcus Wareing reduced Dale Williams to tears with a savage critique and refused to even taste one of Larkin Cen's poorly presented dishes.
Torode said: "I think Natalie is destined for great things. She not only understands finery of great food but she cooks for the people, food that people want to eat. She also has a great palate and understands flavour combinations."
The amateur chef, who rustled up a dish for two-Michelin-starred chef Simon Rogan as one of the final tasks, was inspired in the kitchen by her late grandmother.
Her teenage enthusiasm at the idea of becoming a chef waned, and she pondered becoming a PE teacher or a firefighter. But after beating 50 contestants (and around 4,000 applicants) to the MasterChef prize she now wants to focus on a culinary career.
"I want to learn as much as possible under great chefs and possibly go into food writing once I've learnt a lot more about food," she said. "Depending on how good I get, my own restaurant one day would be amazing."
Last year's winner Shelina Permalloo is writing a cookery book, while 2008 champion James Nathan has opened a restaurant in Cornwall.
The show has been a ratings winner for the BBC, and the penultimate episode drew an audience of 5.22 million, making it the most watched programme of the night outside of the soaps.
Her winning menu was:
Starter: Lobster tail, accompanied by compressed fennel, fennel puree and shavings, dressed with an orange gel and beurre blanc, and Lobster oil.
Main: Roast pork belly, pork tenderloin and a scotch egg (made of black pudding and quail's egg), served with a pomme puree, caramelised shallots and two sauces - apple and a honey mustard.
Dessert: Vanilla chocolate panna cotta topped with a tempered bitter chocolate tuile with caramelised pears and a trio of hazelnut crumble biscuits.

Scots cheer Burns with letter, laureate and museum
By Ian MacKenzie
EDINBURGH (Reuters Life!) - Scots around the world celebrate the birthday of their national bard on Tuesday with the discovery of an unpublished letter from the poet Robert Burns, a new museum dedicated to him and a new poet laureate.
Ahead of the festivities marking Burns' birth on January 25, 1795, Scotland honored one of its 21st century literary stars by appointing Liz Lochhead as its new Makar, or poet laureate.
Lochhead, 63, a distinguished poet and playwright, succeeds the nation's first Makar, Edwin Morgan, who died last year.
"I accept it on behalf of poetry itself, which is, and always has been, the core of our culture, and in grateful recognition of the truth that poetry...matters deeply to ordinary Scottish people everywhere," Lochhead said.
Her first official duty was to open a Burns museum at his hometown of Alloway in southwest Scotland this month.
Burns was born in his family's humble farming cottage at Alloway, now part of a new 21 million pound ($33.59 million) museum dedicated to the bard, who died aged only 37 in 1796.
But he became an integral part of the intellectual swelling of the Scottish Enlightenment, and his wit and humor, melancholy, love of life and the lassies along with his radical views in support of common folk caught the imagination of readers around the world.
Those hosting the traditional Burns Night dinner with haggis, bagpipes, whisky and speeches will have some new material to add to the annual toast to the "Immortal Memory" (of Robert Burns) with the discovery of a 200-year-old letter from the bard to one of his supporters. Continued...

German Shepherd Dog Forums (http://www.germanshepherds.com/forum/)
- Feeding Our Puppy (http://www.germanshepherds.com/forum/feeding-our-puppy/)
- - HOW and WHEN to switch Puppy to 2 meals a day? (http://www.germanshepherds.com/forum/feeding-our-puppy/469570-how-when-switch-puppy-2-meals-day.html)
HOW and WHEN to switch Puppy to 2 meals a day?
So our boy Loki will be 6 months on the 16th, in 5 days, and we were wondering when to switch him from eating 3 meals a day, to 2 meals a day?
Currently we feed him 1 cup at 7am, 12:30pm, and 5:30pm, so 3 cups per day. But we would like to switch to just 2 times a day if that is normal?
Also, how do we go about skipping his lunch meal? Do we feed him a little bit at 12:30 and then slowly throughout a week or two just stop feeding him lunch all together?
Another thing, as soon as your pour the food into his bowl, he will literally inhale all of it within less than 2 minutes. He has always been a hungry boy even when we got him at 8 weeks.
Thanks everyone!
How is his weight? He's 5 months? You can switch him anytime I think. I just stopped Seger's. Didn't wean him at all.
He loves to eat, if he's outside and won't come in, all you have to say is "Do you wanna eat?" and he will sprint to the front door haha
Dena and Keefer were actually on two meals a day at 9 weeks old, which is when we got each of them. But I took the first week off work to stay home with them, and then took long lunches to come home mid-day and we went through lots of little training treats so they did get something even if it wasn't an actual meal.
Halo was 10 weeks old when we got her but she was much smaller than D & K, and still used to 3 meals a day, so I kept her on that schedule for a month or two after that. She got tons of training treats too, I used part or all of her lunch kibble for training. She was on 2 meals a day well before the age of your puppy.
My dog is a "hoover hound", too. I scatter his meals on the floor or put it in puzzle balls. It slows him down. You can buy special bowls or just put something (like a soup can) in his current bowl.
I switch to 2x at 8w
I switched at about 5 months. It keeps the meals smaller. Now, I free feed dry only and refill at breakfast and dinner times. Isabella 6.5 months GSD and Nelson JRT going on 8 years in November. Nelson gained too much weight with Isabella eating home cooked 3 times a day, now he is getting thinner..
I have weaned many a litter to twice a day by 8-10w. It's up the each family if they wish to do 3x or 2x a day. Not all people have the convenience of doing multiple feedings a day.
Also most pet homes tend to over feed their puppies - thinking that feeding multiple times or more food will do the puppy better. Pups should be alert, lean with a good layer of fat, shiny with bright eyes, skin clear, ears not red, gums pink, no leaky eyes, able to play and move easily - I go by these standards. Twice a day is just fine if fed good quality food in proper portions. Large breed pups do just fine with two feedings a day by the time they go home. These are not Chi's! :)
Also keep in mind - I recommend and do training sessions that use food as a reward. Pups also enjoy bully sticks, raw knuckles, sheep heads, rib bones as teething treats - they work and earn their extras. Believe me this works better for me than feeding them out of a pan for 3 to 4 meals per day. Mind, jaws, body - all worked in a more stimulating way than out of a bowl.

What a tangled web the radical Islamists weave. Islamic terrorist groups continue to pop up throughout the Western Hemisphere. The latest dispatch comes to us from the U.S. Attorney's Office right here in Northern Virginia. The press released issued yesterday states in part:
Ayman Joumaa, a/k/a "Junior," 47, of Lebanon, was indicted by a federal grand jury in Alexandria, Va., on Nov. 23, 2011, with conspiring to distribute five kilograms or more of cocaine and conspiring to commit money laundering. If convicted, he faces a maximum penalty of life in prison.
According to the indictment, for at least eight years Joumaa has conspired with others to coordinate shipments of tens of thousands of kilograms of cocaine from Colombia through Central America for sale to Los Zetas drug cartel. The ultimate destination of the cocaine was the United States.
This one case seems to have all the characteristics that warrant a deeper look by policymakers on the Hill and the Obama Administration. This fellow not only has ties to the Mexican drug cartels — that in some cases are entities that are bordering on earning a space on our Foreign Terrorist Organization (FTO) list — but, Joumaa also has ties to Hezbollah. This Hezbollah nugget was not included in the DOJ press release, but it was discussed at the press conference by the U.S. Attorneys Office. Read more about it here.
Most regional policy experts in DC think tank are befuddled, they refuse to see it. Others, well, some are just in denial and contextualize it as a fleeting thing. The reality is that these radical Islamic terrorist groups have been operating in the Americas for some time. They are here to stay.
The U.S. Government — policymakers primarily because law enforcement can and has done to deal with this issue — should be treating the matter a little more seriously and requiring our allies to do the same, especially Mexico who has failed to contain the spread of narco-terrorism to its borders.

According to online indications, tickets for the entire second row of ringside seats near the entrance ramp for the upcoming TNA iMPACT! Wrestling television tapings in Baltimore, Maryland are still unsold.
Apparently you can still purchase up to 14 seats next to each other in the second row.
I live between DC and Baltimore and have not heard any advertisements for it. Not to mention, that's too big of an arena. I wonder how that show is going to look on tv.
see that's the problem with tna no promoting what so ever not on tv news papers radio nothing
TNA has been advertising it on Impact and their website. I bought tickets during the pre-sale. They do need to push it in local papers and TV ads though.
the reason why tna on the road is looking like a bad idea for tna and that tna seem to be in a bad way at the moment is because
they dont advertise
they book huge arenas that they cant sell (10k plus)
im not big ROH fan but they always go to venues that they can sell out
ML? Really? SMH…
Ticketmaster was doing a deal last nite, lower level seats (floor), four tickets for $40.
And like it's already been said, there has been no advertising here in the Baltimore area. I live in Middle River (literally 5 min from Baltimore), and there has not been a single radio or local tv advertisement that I've seen or heard. Doing "day of" media blitzes is not the proper way to advertise.
I live on Marylands eastern shore and receive Baltimore tv stations and have not heard one tv commercial or radio commercial about the show. The only two ways I have heard about it is here and when ticketmaster sent me the deal email. TNA needs to step up their advertising.
people who have garage sales do more advertising than TNA.
I live near Baltimore as well. I haven't heard a peep either. That said, I tend to watch cable programming, and when I actually do get in the car (I work from home), I turn on my Sirius radio.
Unfortunately, I'm becoming more the norm than the exception. And people like me make it harder for TNA to do real advertising. Back in the day, WCW/WWF would just show up at the 98 Rock morning show and voila – promotion. Free and effective.
That's not the case today. A well-placed billboard would be nice, but really, it's harder to promote an event than it used to be.
I should add – this is part of the reason the entire indy scene is failing…
I also live in Baltimore n if I didnt tell all my friends nobody would have known

Hey fellow mandalorians,
I had initially thought about doing an Altair costume, from the video game Assassin's Creed.
I've looked at the costume, and have been trying to figure out what pieces I could buy outright and what would need to be custom made, so I figured I'd ask you guys for your tips or advice.
Here's what the costume looks like for those of you whom don't have the game. The blade is a hidden blade activated by his pinky finger via a ring method.
Where do you guys think I should start, and if so whom...would I contact?
Thanks for looking!

Herbie Hancock to promote jazz as U.N. ambassador
PARIS (Reuters Life!) - Jazz musician Herbie Hancock was appointed a UNESCO goodwill ambassador, pledging to use music to cross cultural boundaries and promote literacy and creativity among youth around the world.
The pianist and composer, who has won 14 Grammy awards and seen many of his songs become standards during a career spanning five decades, threw his support behind a UNESCO project to declare an international jazz day on April 30 each year.
"The idea is to have performances, but not just performances, to have discussions, to have dances to have perhaps even some fun games to do with the history of jazz that young people might be interested in," Hancock said in an interview before his appointment at a ceremony at UNESCO headquarters late on Friday.
The 71-year-old musician, who shot to fame in the 1960s playing with trumpeter Miles Davis, also hopes to use his celebrity to win inclusion for jazz on the list of intangible world cultural heritage of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO).
The list aims to promote respect for cultural heritage and increase mutual respect for communities worldwide.
Hancock said he would lobby U.S. officials, including Secretary of State Hilary Clinton, for Washington to recognize the UNESCO convention on intangible cultural heritage.
Hancock, who was acclaimed as a child prodigy after he started playing piano in 1947, believes that music can bring a wider educational message to many young people, particularly in developing countries.
"One idea that is interesting to me is jazz as a metaphor for targeting literacy. With jazz, you don't just pick up an instrument and start improvising: it's about discipline. Freedom with discipline is the ethos of jazz," he said.
A devout Buddhist, Hancock's latest musical venture, the Grammy-winning "Imagine Project," featured musicians from around the world and he says he is considering another similar album. Continued...

Independent inquiries have been launched after four people died and one was seriously injured when separate police pursuits ended in fatal crashes early yesterday morning.
Structural engineers are checking terrace houses in Chadderton, Greater Manchester, where three people died in a speeding car whose overturned wreckage lay burned out nearby.
Two of the dead were youths and the other a young woman. Another woman remains in a critical condition in hospital, where she was taken at 4am. Local residents said that the impact of the careering Vauxhall Vectra striking two garden walls and a house was "like a bomb going off".
A third man was killed on the M1 in Chesterfield just after 2am when the car in which he was a backseat passenger slewed up a bank after failing to obey a police patrol's order to stop. The Independent Police Complaints Commission is investigating both incidents.
Pursuit fatalities constitute the greatest number of deaths involving the police, running at an average of 40 a year, although the most recent figures, for 2006-7, showed a fall by almost half to 23. The IPCC published a report on the issue last year which called existing police guidelines "strong and sensible" but warned that forces' training varied and should be more consistent.
Greater Manchester police, who are already involved in an IPCC inquiry into the stabbing of two young boys by their mother last week, said the Vauxhall had outpaced a patrol car which had tried to stop it in Oldham town centre.
Superintendent Alan Greene, speaking at the scene of the crash, said that the pursuit car was at some distance from the Vectra because the vehicle had been driving so fast. He said: "The vehicle was going at considerable speed, so much so that the police car could not keep up with it."
Local people said that the car had almost certainly lost control on a slight rise in the road surface, known to regular users and a potential hazard at any speed above the local 30mph limit. Paul Kelly, a 40-year-old warehouse manager who lives about 100 yards away, said: "It looks like they hit the kerb a few times, spun round and overturned. The explosion was so loud, I thought something had come into my house. I ran to the window and could see the car in flames."
Gareth and Vicki Burns, both 33, whose garden wall was demolished by the impact, said that the rise in the road was followed by a sharp dip, which would see a speeding car "go airborne". Gareth said: "The police sirens woke Vicki and she woke me. Seconds later, we heard a crash and the whole house shook.
"I knew straight away we had been hit. There have been a few crashes along this road in the last few years."
He said that his four-year-old daughter, Charlotte, and six-month-old son, Lewis, were all right, but the house's bay window had been knocked sideways and the front garden destroyed.
Greene said the victims in the Vauxhall appeared to be "quite young" and were believed to be from the local area. They had initially stopped when challenged by the patrol car close to the centre of Oldham, but then suddenly sped off.
"The officer in the patrol car pursued the vehicle, but it was going at a considerable speed and was getting away," he said. "The pursuit lasted for less than two minutes, and the vehicle was apparently determined to get away."
The blackened remains of the car were removed by a truck yesterday, as fingertip searches for debris continued. Another nearby resident, Matthew Tipton, 28, who plays for semi-professional Droylsden FC, said: "It felt like a bomb had gone off in my house. From the sound of the sirens, I think the police were possibly still on the other side of Broadway [a major junction several hundred yards away] when the Vectra crashed."
Derbyshire police said that the driver and another passenger of the car which crashed on the M1 had been arrested nearby soon afterwards. The Vauxhall Corsa was being followed northwards close to junction 29a at Chesterfield when the driver apparently lost control.
In a separate incident, the M5 was closed for five hours yesterday after a police car on its way to an accident crashed into a piece of debris at the scene. The patrol car span out of control after responding at high speed when a Volkswagen Golf struck the central reservation between Stroud and Dursley in Gloucestershire.
Inspector Tony Rymer, of Gloucestershire police, said that the two officers in the car were shaken after hitting the "substantial piece of debris" from the Golf, whose two occupants were also unharmed, although the woman passenger had to be cut free by fire officers.
Greater Manchester police said that the fatalities in Chadderton had also been referred to the force's own professional standards branch.
The force is working with the IPCC on its response to events surrounding the deaths of Romario and Delayno Mullings-Sewell, aged two and three months.
Their mother, Jael Mullings, 21, was sectioned under the Mental Health Act after they were found stabbed to death at their home in Cheetham Hill, Manchester, five days ago.

In a previous post, we shared the results of an investigation into the hospitalization of 9 students of Central Washington University this month, which pointed to a caffeinated energy drink called Four Loko as the reason for the students' illness.
This was not the first time that Four Loko has been implicated in cases of alcohol poisoning. Last month, 23 students from Ramapo College in New Jersey also ended up in the hospital, again after consuming Four Loko.
A report on the New York Times looks further into the dangers of the drink as well as others like it. Doctors have given the opinion that the combination of alcohol and caffeine in the drinks is dangerous, because caffeine covers up the effects of alcohol. As a result, those who drink it do not realize how drunk they already are.
Dr. Michael Reihart, an ER doctor at Lancaster General Hospital in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, told the Times: "It's a recipe for disaster because your body's natural defense is to get sleepy and not want to drink, but in this case you're tricking the body with the caffeine." According to Reihart, he has treated more than a dozen people in the past three months because of Four Loko.
Dr. Peter Mercer, the president of Ramapo College in New Jersey, said: "I do not see any socially redeeming purpose being served by these beverages. At the end of the day, they're aimed at a young, inexperienced market for the purpose of enabling them to become rapidly intoxicated."

Hawk or eagle? and spring!
Well, I got my first picture of a hawk (i think). Of all the rural places I have been I've yet to have the right lens at the right time, or didn't have enough reach with 200mm. Today I went outside my apartment to get some pictures of all the flowers that are blooming because of this amazing weather we're having. While I was taking the pics a man approached me and told me there was a hawk eating something in a tree 5 houses down, so I hurried over...Luckily I had my 200mm f4 smc m on the camera, it really was the right place at the right time, after taking a few pics, it flew away. This pic is about a 60% crop I believe, the IQ isn't the greatest..the lens has some haze, but I still love how it renders closer images and portraits, it still has lovely colour IMHO and for $15 I can't complain.

Spray foam and ground wire.
So i am going to have spray foam installed in my basement. One of the ground wires for my main service panel will end up partialy coverd by the spray foam. the grounding wire was previously inspected when the main service panel was updated. can the spray foam be installed over the ground wire?
Sure :yes:
Yes, but the connection to the water pipe must be accessible.
Some spray foams I've seen can't be in contact with bare copper for some reason. Your hiring the job out to the professionals so they will likely already know all that and plan accordingly. I highly doubt they use a product like that but just tossing it out there.
Yeha, i was going to ask them when they stopped by,
K-Buz thanks for the heads up, luckily the connection will be in the unfinished part of basement so i should be good there.

103" Stage IV in my 2011 RGC. Planning ahead will save money, I ended up buying a second AC as the first one would not flow enough to get me much over 100hp...
SE Ventilator ended up changing to a SE Heavy Breather to get enough air into that 58mm SE throttle body.
On the other hand I went with V&H Power Duals along with V&H Hi-Output mufflers and it has been really good, my bike seems to do well on dyno's with it producing (hp/tq) 117.2/111.2 and on another Dyno on a different month, 115.6/108.8, and those are both good numbers for a 103 stage IV from other sheets I have seen both on the dynos as well as sheets online...
2-1-2 sounds pretty damned good, besides with late model Harley and FI, they don't say potato, potato, potato... anymore. But with the duals or power duals, real sounds come from both sides of the bike and I really get a ton of comments about how good it sounds.
I have true duals and straight fishtails on my 09 ultra with a pc5. With the improvement of power and torque over the stock system I am tickled pink. It may not be as good as it could be but its a helluva lot better than it was. And it sounds like a Harley instead of a prius.

The American Idols now have their second show under their belt. I didn't stay in the Pacific Northwest for Tuesday's show in Tacoma, Wash., but my new friend Richard Rushfield did, and he made a great observation in his Los Angeles Times' Idol Tracker blog:
"One is struck by how much better each one of these gladiators of song is here in a genuine concert setting than he or she ever was on the TV show. Which leads one to wonder, does the competition so brutalize the contestants that we never really know what they are capable of, or is the competition truly meant as a prologue to the tour that follows and their careers to come?"
Also, Ernest Jasmin of the local News-Tribune's Tacoma Rock City blog seems to have caught a little bit of the Lambertmania:
"Very impressive range, Mssr. Lambert. You are, indeed, a rock star. I'm actually looking forward to hearing what you come up with on that album you said you're cutting later this year. All that Bowie suggest you'll follow through on the promise to go glammy you gave during your recent Rolling Stone interview."
Remember, if you attend any of the American Idols Live shows, please post your impressions in our comments sections. I'd love to read what you think of the shows.
And this gives me an opportunity to say a few things here that I often said after the show in Portland but can't remember if I ever posted (and if you don't believe I said them, just ask Richard Rushfield): This show is the best possible showcase for this group of young performers. There's not a single one of the 10 I like less after seeing them live -- and there are several of them I like better now. If you enjoyed American Idol Season 8, this show definitely will be worth the money you pay for your ticket.
Nashville-based Brian Mansfield began writing about music for USA TODAY in 1997 and took over Idol Chatter just before the start of Season 8. He co-authored Make Me a Star: Industry Insiders Reveal How to Make It in Music, and while he has never auditioned for American Idol, he did sing Boot Scootin' Boogie at Disney World's American Idol Experience the day the attraction opened (he lost).

IS it correct?
The guy who did the taping/plastering/prime work used the followings:
After he taped, plastered and sanded the inside corners, (which were clean until) he start applying the caulking which is sued for the inside windows and doors to these inside corners. Is this correct practice? Could it help? The problem is that the caulking work was not as good as the inside corners were.
He used sheetrock INSIDE corner Bead B2 (paper & metal bead) for the OUTSIDE corners. I don't know why he didn't use the outside paper & metal corner bead or the metal only corners for the outside corners Is this correct? If not, how it will affect the prime/painting? How it could be corrected?
Please do not open multiple threads about the same issue
Thank you
Moderator - DIY Chatroom
what is the answer?
A B2 corner is really meant to be used on oblique angles to get them straighter. I've never seen anyone use it on an inside 90 degree angle. Not sure why anyone would caulk that joint. A B2 is really not very strong for an outside corner. I would never use it for that. It's not the correct material for that application. I'd scrape it out and put in the correct corner.

This is a great cost savings to the people of Florida. Consider the following:
4 criminals middle aged.
$50,000/year for incarceration med-high security facility.
Average 10-20 year sentences.
4*50000*15= $3,000,000.00
This maybe a great way for some states to balance their state budgets. Don't hate, I'm just saying.
My thought is that the informant chose to go out that way. Meaning he would have been made out to be the snitch if he lived and would have been in fear the rest of his life and his children and wife as well. But my theory goes out the window because his name is mentioned in the write up. Oh well nevermind. Maybe Duke is right. Either way we wont be paying for 4 BG's being incarcerated for x amount of years.
The police recruit an informant, who willingly goes along. The same informant then becomes an active participant in a home invasion that he KNOWS the police are going to bust? I'm not buying it. A lot of potential scenarios here, but the most likely is that he was pressured to go along by the other criminals. Knowing that the police are going to arrest everyone, he goes along, knowing that he can explain later. Instead, all four end up dead. I definitely won't shed a tear for the other three, but something about the informant isn't adding up. I can't blame the family for wanting some more answers.

Lacrosse news straight to your inbox.
Tuesday August 6th, 2013 1:19am
The Boston Cannons will replace head coach Steve Duffy with consultant John Tucker, sources told Inside Lacrosse Monday. The news was confirmed later Monday by a news release from the team, which is below.
Duffy took over for Billy Daye following the 2011 MLL Championship season and led the Cannons to a 9-5 record and MLL semifinal appearance last season.
Boston is off to a 1-5 start this season, however, and lost to the Rochester Rattlers 16-14 at Kennesaw St. University in Georgia. The Cannons have allowed a league-worst 90 goals in six games.
Previously, Tucker has been the head coach of the Bayhawks (from 2009-'10) and the defunct L.A. Riptide ('06-'08). He was the MLL's Coach of the Year in '07.
The Boston Cannons of Major League Lacrosse on Monday announced John Tucker as the team's new head coach. Tucker was hired as an assistant coach prior to the 2013 season and will take over in place of Steve Duffy as head coach for the remaining eight games of the season.
"Our on-field performance so far this season has not been in line with the standard our fans have come to expect," said Cannons General Manager Kevin Barney, "and a change was necessary to get back on track. This was not an easy decision; Coach Duffy has been a valued and respected member of our coaching staff for five years, and we know he will continue to find success in lacrosse."
"At this point, we believe John's extensive Major League Lacrosse coaching experience and outstanding achievements as a player provide the best fit to lead this team to success," added Cannons founding owner Matt Dwyer.
Tucker served as head coach for the Los Angeles Riptide from 2006-2008, earning MLL Coach of the Year honors in 2007 for a Western Conference-best 9-3 season and a championship game appearance. He coached the Bayhawks during the 2009 and 2010 seasons.
In the indoor National Lacrosse League, Tucker coached the Baltimore Thunder from 1997 to 1999 and the Pittsburgh CrosseFire for their one year of existence in 2000. Additionally, he has led high school teams to a total of eight Maryland Interscholastic Athletic Association championships: four with the Severn School in Annapolis, three with the Gilman School in Baltimore, and one with Loyola Blakefield in Towson.
As a collegiate player, Tucker helped lead the undefeated Johns Hopkins University Blue Jays team that won the NCAA Men's Lacrosse Championship in 1984. In international competition, Tucker played for Team USA, winning three gold medals at the World Lacrosse Championships in 1986, 1990, and 1994. Tucker captained the 1990 and 1994 teams. In addition, Tucker won two championships with the Philadelphia Wings of the Major Indoor Lacrosse League in 1989 and 1990.
"I am grateful for, yet humbled by, this opportunity to work with such an exceptional organization," Tucker said. "Coach Duffy laid an outstanding foundation and I hope to build on past success. We have some hard work ahead of us yet there is an exciting vision in Boston and it's an honor to be a part of it."
With one win and five losses, the Cannons are off to their worst start since 2002, when they began 1-6. The Cannons have made at least the semi-finals in all but two of the past 12 seasons (2007 & 2008), winning their first MLL championship in 2011.

So nice of you to help. Thanks
It seems that i am getting mixed ideas from their requirements and what you are saying here. So the question is: can i buy Visual Composer and use it with a theme including it in the theme or not? If not, what could i do? I would hate to have to recreate the wheel if it already was created ( the visual composer )
All that i can say is go with asus. Had HP. Didn't turn out so well after waranty expired.

mountainthemes saidNo, but users prefer a variety of themes. If all use the same framework, all have the same basic things in them, and those things might not please all users.
From an user point of view do you prefer 45 different frameworks ?
I don't mean the front end framework. I mean the back end framework like option tree, advanced custom fields and so on. You can do everything you want.An option could be (like Acf) an extendible Envato framework. Any developer has the same base code but anyone can extend it (via plugins). This would be the best way in my opinion.
I understand!
Now… Envato!! I know you are busy with the bundle, but wheres the FAQ??
mountainthemes said
Parallelus saidFrom an user point of view do you prefer 45 different frameworks ?
That would be the beginning of a mass exodus from ThemeForest. It would be one thing to offer an option framework like they've done with OptionsTree, but to force one (at this stage) would not be acceptable.I can see a community like this being built around a framework where users develop themes specific to that framework and can sell them on the framework marketplace. There are a number of sites doing this, but TF is not structured this way and authors would run screaming if a requirement to use the TF framework were forced on them. 10 new TF like sites would pop up over night to gobble up all the newly available authors looking for a place to sell their work.
No, but users prefer a variety of themes. If all use the same framework, all have the same basic things in them, and those things might not please all users.
Well this bundle is expected every year, so you should get used to a bundle in tgis time frame
theux said
Hey envato. It's time to update your guidelines. A lot of answers were given on this thread. Do you want us to go over all these pages to figure out what can we and what we cannot do? For example: how about theme specific widget? Can we put within theme? I almost sure you already answered that question, but i don't have time to go over 39 pages. So, it's time to clean up this mess.
+1 Update your guidelines! And create the FAQ that you promised.
No offense, but with these changes you will only make the customers here have a worse experience than before, because your standards are not clear and do not cover every aspect and every author will end up choosing their own way of doing stuff. This changes are just bad. The only one i have to say i agree with is the shortcode one. The other moves to plugins are just useless.
At the moment i have spend some time reading this whole thread and i am clear of one thing: you have no idea what you want us to do.
I think that you want to make the functionality part of the theme portable to other themes. Basically what woocommerce does. BUT what author wants to spend time on a plugin for lets say their slideshows, and than allow the buyer to take that plugin and use it unlimited times with other themes. What is that? You are confusing wp.org with premium themes.
