You will not believe how frustrated I was to miss that day last week...
So I worked up a little song to vent.
[shadow=red]I call it Gale Blues [/shadow]
I sit in side my Cub-i-Kill
This ankle chain it chafes
Out side the wind is howling
Real jobs are a mistake
I got the BluesÖ
The four grey walled Cub-i-Kill BluesÖ
When I should be out Gale Kiting
Iím inside typing insteadÖ
My office it has a sweet view
I look right down the slot
But if you think that makes me feel better
Then you havenít learned a lot
Cuz I got the BluesÖ.
The four grey walled Cub-i-Kill Blues
When I should be carving up the water
Itís corporate slaughter insteadÖ
You know Iím not a clock watcher
The Man gets a-lot of my time
But when the wind is howling
Itís me that he can hear whine
Because I have the Blues
The four grey walled Cub-i-Kill Blues
When I should be riding on Wind
I hear the bosses din instead
By the time I get out of this office
The wind will have started to clock
By the time I reach the beach
I might as well just sit out on the dock
I got the Blues...
The four grey walled Cub-i-Kill Blues
When I should hear my kite lines singing
Itís a work phone ringing instead...
For once Iíd like to see that Gale wind
Start ñ Not Stop / just around five
So a proletariat serf like me
Could get one big air nukey wind ride.
I have the BluesÖ.
Donít you know I have the Blues...
Iíve got the Galeís outside; and
Iím Inside; my Ankles tied;
This Cube is Killing Me BluuueeesssÖ
I think I'm going to be "sick" tomorrow...
I can only imagine you singing this but it has to get on film someday soon.
Looks like tomorrow might be a good storm session. Im all packed and ready to go. Hey Yuri can i pick up your Kitecam?

Married, with multiple bank accounts?
Continue Reading Below
It sounds simple: one bank account for checking and one account for saving. But for many of us, life is a little more complicated.
In fact, according to Kristen Euretig, a Certified Financial Planner professional in Brooklyn, N.Y., most clients ask for help managing the number of accounts they use, especially if they're married. In some cases, it's not unusual for a married couple to have five or six bank accounts -- sometimes spread across multiple financial institutions.
Managing all those accounts can be time-consuming and confusing, which is why many people want to streamline. But unfortunately, there's no one right answer for everyone, Euretig says.
"Personal finance is just that -- personal," Euretig says. "What makes sense for one individual or couple may not make sense for another. There is nothing inherently good or bad about having or managing multiple accounts as long as it's working for that individual."
But helping you determine how many bank accounts you need and how many financial institutions you should work with often involves asking some fundamental questions about your goals, financial competence and needs.
Should you chase a higher yield?
If you've ever thought about opening an account with an online bank to get a better interest rate, you're in good company, Euretig says.
"It absolutely makes sense to open a second account with an online bank for a higher yield," Euretig says. "In addition to higher rates, online accounts often have useful savings features that make it easy to set up automatic savings plans that draw from a traditional brick-and-mortar bank account."
But with savings rates at, or near, historic lows, chasing a yield may not make as much sense once you do the math, says Chad McCloskey, a former bank executive and president of Vivo Livre, a financial planning and consulting firm in Newbury Park, Calif.
"When it comes to the online banks, you can chase rates, and you could even shift your balances between them in their rate wars. But, when it comes down to the actual difference earned after taxes, it's rarely going to be worth the time and effort," McCloskey says.
Should an account be goal-specific?
A savings account doesn't have to be for a specific purpose, but many savers choose to create a separate account if they're trying to build a lump sum for a specific purpose, such as a down payment on a home or a rainy-day fund in case of an emergency like an illness or job loss.
While spreading your savings across multiple accounts will slow the amount of money you make on interest, it's not necessarily a bad idea to have a goal-specific savings account, according to Mark Johnson, assistant professor of finance at Loyola University Maryland in Baltimore.
"It makes sense to have separate savings accounts under two conditions: if it helps you reach your goal and you're able to regularly monitor the accounts to make sure no unauthorized transactions have occurred," Johnson says. "Many savers are just happy to see their savings balances grow, regardless of whether the funds are for a specific purpose or not."
Do married couples need more accounts?
Just because you've joined your lives together in matrimony and jointly file your taxes, it doesn't mean you have to use joint bank accounts. Or at least, you don't have to use joint bank accounts at the expense of your own individual accounts.
"Many married couples choose to maintain a shared joint account and separate individual accounts," CFP professional Euretig says. "This allows couples the flexibility to make independent financial decisions, since not every financial decision is going to involve both parties."
For big financial decisions like buying a home or a new car, it's critical to be on the same page. But for little expenses, like eating out at work or buying new clothes, it's often a good idea to give your partner a little space, Euretig says.
"Shared decision-making on such minor day-to-day expenses can easily lead to disagreement," Euretig says. "Money is a tough subject for married couples, and many cite finances as the No. 1 cause of marital arguments. Having some autonomy with accounts gives couples more breathing room and independence to make their own financial decisions when they don't affect the other member of the couple."
Can your brain manage multiple accounts?
If you think keeping track of multiple accounts is a headache, you're right, says Himanshu Mishra, University of Utah associate professor of marketing.
In a recent study, Mishra found that individuals who manage multiple accounts spend more compared to those who have only one account. On average, Mishra found that the difference between having one account and multiple accounts could mean spending an extra 10% of the total.
"When people have a single account, they have a very clear, precise idea about how much money they have and they are unable to distort the available account information to justify spending, hence they spend less and save more," Mishra says.
But while maintaining one account means you're likely to be less "fuzzy" on the total, it may not be all that practical for some people. However, these days, there are a lot of online tools like Mint that help you manage your money across multiple accounts and banks. But, whether those tools alleviate the fuzziness isn't entirely clear.
"Consolidating all earnings across accounts so that people have a clear idea about how much they have in total could help," Mishra says. "However, this is conjecture. We haven't empirically tested this."
Will I pay more in fees with multiple accounts?
If there's one gripe we all have about our banks, it's the fees. In fact, the Federal Trade Commission cited bank fees as a top consumer complaint of the banking sector. But fees could also be the No. 1 reason why you might want to streamline the number of accounts you keep and number of financial institutions you do business with.
"Fees are wasted budget items and doing anything you can to limit and eliminate them altogether is very important," says McCloskey. "Any yield you might get by playing around with extra-high-yield accounts can be wiped out in a hurry by a single overdraft fee from most banks."
But don't assume that multiple accounts necessarily mean added fees.
"As long as they aren't incurring fees, there's no reason not to have more than one account," says Euretig, who adds that a lot banks waive fees if you use direct deposit or maintain a minimum balance.
On the other hand, freelancers, the self-employed and the unemployed may find it difficult to manage their cash flow and keep minimum balances. If that's the case, Euretig says it's a good idea to go with as few accounts as possible.
Are multiple accounts more secure?
These days, it's hardly news to hear about a security breach at a financial institution or an instance of identity theft. But, in addition to taking the usual precautions, it may make sense to double up on the number of banks or credit unions you belong to, Johnson says.
"The average person only needs banking relationships with two financial institutions," Johnson says. "One institution should have your primary checking and savings accounts, and the other should serve as more of a backup or secondary institution. The account at your secondary institution should be available just in case you are temporarily unable to access your accounts at your primary institution."
But, while it's good to have a backup, consumers should remember that a secondary institution is only there for access in case of an emergency. Assuming the depositor has less than $250,000 in the account, the money is insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp.
"From a liability perspective, you'll be made whole either way," says McCloskey, who adds that individuals with more than $250,000 should definitely look into using multiple financial institutions, or make sure that the ownership title on each account reflects a different depositor in order to qualify for FDIC coverage.
Will there be more fine print?
Whether you use a bank or a credit union, you've doubtless encountered a lot of fine print chocked full of legalese. Whenever your financial institution amends its terms of service, you will receive a new copy. The more accounts you have and the more financial institutions you use, the more legalese you're likely to see. Plowing through that documentation is a headache, but it's probably not a good reason to streamline your accounts.
"Most people probably aren't reading the fine print on the first account, so I'm not sure it will make a difference if they have more accounts they aren't reading the fine print on," Euretig says.
But, while he concedes that it's probably the weakest reason for streamlining, McCloskey points out that like every other question, "It's about how much you can manage."
Typically, banks make an extra effort beyond sending new terms of service agreements if they plan to make major changes that cost their clients money, McCloskey says. But even if the bank goes beyond the legally required minimum notification, keeping track of changing rules is a reality these days, and it's one that might be more difficult with too many accounts.

University of Illinois agricultural economist Darrel Good reports U.S. soybean market fundamentals have been strong for an extended period of time.
"The strong fundamental factors have included record large exports in 2009-10 and 2010-11 as Chinese demand expanded, a reduction in U.S. soybean acreage in 2011, a relatively low U.S. average yield in 2011, intentions to reduce U.S. acreage again in 2012, and a very small soybean harvest in South America this year," he says. "These strong market fundamentals continue in the form of a rapid pace of consumption and concerns about the size of the 2012 U.S. crop."
Good reports that soybean prices began moving higher in July 2010, starting from about $9.50. July 2012 soybean futures reached a high of about $14.70 in late August 2011, declined to a low near $11.25 in mid-December 2011, and reached a high of $15.12 in early May 2012. Prices have been very choppy the past two months, but the July futures contract is now trading within about 30 cents of the early May high. November 2012 futures prices have been lower than July futures but have followed a similar pattern and are now trading at a contract high near $14.30.
"The pace of the domestic soybean crush started slowly this year," Good says. "The National Oilseed Processors Association reported that its members crushed 7.7% fewer soybeans in the first quarter of the 2011-12 marketing year than in the same quarter the previous year. Crush during the second quarter, however, was 2.3% larger and crush during the third quarter was 7.2% larger than in the respective quarters last year. Crush during the first three quarters of the year was 0.3% larger than the crush last year. For the year, the USDA projects the crush to be 0.7% larger than during the 2010-11 marketing year.
"It now appears that the crush may exceed that projection for several reasons. First, crush was relatively small in the fourth quarter of the 2010-11 marketing year. Second, the pace of domestic soybean meal consumption has been expanding. Third, the small South American crop may support U.S. soybean meal exports above the current projection. The crush may be about 10 million bushels larger than the current projection of 1.66 billion bushels," Good says.
At the beginning of the marketing year, the USDA projected U.S. exports at 1.415 billion bushels, Good says. The projection was reduced as the year progressed and was at 1.275 billion bushels by January 2012. "The forecast, however, increased beginning in April and now stands at 1.335 billion bushels," he says. "Total export sales already exceed that projection, which is common, and exports will need to average about 13 million bushels per week during the last 10 weeks of the year to reach the projection. The current pace of exports is a little slower than the needed pace, but exports are still likely to reach the projected level. While the pace of exports has slowed in a typical seasonal pattern, sales for export during the 2012-13 marketing year are record large, underscoring the strength in Chinese demand. The USDA will update the projections of consumption and ending stocks for both marketing years on July 11. The estimate of June 1 stocks, to be released on June 29, will provide some confirmation about the pace of consumption and likely year-ending stocks," Good says.
With prospects for relatively small year-ending soybean stocks, the focus is quickly turning to the prospective size of the 2012 U.S. crop. An estimate of planted and harvested acreage will be available with the USDA's June 29 Acreage report.
"With the soybean price rally that occurred this spring, it would not be surprising if acreage exceeded intentions reported in March," Good says. "While acreage estimates will influence production prospects, the major focus will be on yield prospects."
In the June WASDE report, the USDA projected a U.S. average yield of 43.9 bushels and 2012-13 marketing year-ending stocks at what is generally considered to be a minimum level of 140 million bushels. Good says that the trend yield for 2012 is 43.4 bushels, 1.9 bushels above the 2011 average yield.
"Continuation of stressful weather in the central and eastern growing areas along with declining crop condition ratings suggest that the 2012 yield could be below trend again in 2012," Good says. "A shortfall in production would require that consumption during the year ahead be reduced from the current USDA projection of 3.255 billion bushels. The recent price rally is in recognition of the rationing that may be required.
"Unless weather and crop conditions improve soon, which does not appear likely, additional price strength is expected," Good says. "Talk of the 2008 futures price peak near $16.60 has surfaced. While prices at that level are not yet justified, they are within the range that we have projected for the 'new era' of prices that began in 2007."

ADDISON COUNTY — After bracing for a dismal holiday shopping season this year, many local retailers were pleasantly surprised to see sales hold steady and in some cases increase slightly over last December's figures.
MIDDLEBURY—By now, François Clemmons is an old hand at planning Martin Luther King Jr. Day celebrations. At the height of the Civil Rights movement, Clemmons helped make large, annual vigils in King's honor a success in New York City. Since then, the current Alexander Twilight Artist-in-Residence at Middlebury College has seen countless MLK events come and go. But, far from being rote or routine, this year's celebration promises to hold a deeper meaning than usual for many observers.

Leadership: What is it?
It's making the hard decision, and taking the hit; it's providing vision and inspiration to a group; it's being honest and fair; it's being calm under pressure; it's being loyal; it's not making excuses; and it's having good judgment.

BRISTOL — The Mount Abraham Union High School girls' basketball team made the most of a rare home game on Friday, dispatching Colchester, 51-30, to improve to 5-3.
In what was just their second appearance in Bristol this season, the Eagles held the 2-6 Lakers without a basket for the first 10:07.
After the Lakers cut a 16-1 Mount Abe lead to 16-10, the Eagles responded with a 10-0 run to make the lead an insurmountable 26-10 at the break.
MIDDLEBURY — Go big, or go home.
That's the motto that could well be applied to the latest work to come out of Bob Crystal's Cornwall ceramics studio, on display now at the Jackson Gallery at the Middlebury Town Hall Theater.

BRISTOL — Several dozen Bristol residents piled into Holley Hall Tuesday night to discuss a long-in-the-making draft of a new town plan, many with the intention of weighing in on the topic du jour in Bristol: gravel extraction.

2012 Ford Mustang GT - Blue Light Special
Deputy Sheriff Doug Twitchell's Grabber Blue '12 GT can grab you in more ways than one
At first glance, this Grabber Blue Mustang GT looks stock except for the white Boss-style striping and hoodscoop. But performance-minded drivers should take a second look before revving their engines beside this Mustang at the red light.
Behind the wheel is Deputy Sheriff Doug Twitchell of the Iron County Sheriff's Office in Cedar City, Utah. The Mustang is his squad car, unmarked but equipped with lights, sirens, radar, and video cameras.
I had to ask, "What do people say when you pull them over in what resembles a modified Mustang that they might race on the street?"
"It's mixed," Twitchell answered. "Some are pretty upset and don't think it's right. But you'd be surprised. I probably have 25 percent say, 'Man, I've never seen a cop car like that. Can we take a picture of it?'"
We found Doug displaying his GT coupe at the Mustang Club of America's national show last year in St. George, Utah. Mechanically speaking, it's pretty much a stock '12 GT with the Coyote 5.0-liter engine.
"How fast will it go?" I wanted to know. I figured Twitchell must have been in some high-speed chases and tested the 412 horsepower a time or two.
He replied, "One day I was chasing a car and was coming down off a hill. And all of a sudden I didn't have any power. I thought, What the heck is going on? I looked down and I was doing 148. It shut me off at 148."
Twitchell had turned around to catch a speeder going 110 in the other direction. He eventually caught his moving target but apparently the Mustang's computer would not allow the car to go faster than 148 mph.
How did he wind up policing the streets in a hot Mustang GT with a 5.0 for a chase vehicle? Twitchell goes back to the 1980s when he and other Highway Patrol officers were using 5.0-liter Fox-body Mustangs. "I had two of those back then," Twitchell relates. "I retired from the Utah Highway Patrol and started with the sheriff's department in 2002. My son went to the SEMA Show in 2003 and brought me a poster of the new Mustangs."
Twitchell really liked the looks of the '04 Mustang. He showed the sheriff the poster and said, "Hey, how about this for my next patrol car?"
The sheriff laughed. But two months later, the sheriff got back to Twitchell and asked about price. To their surprise, the Mustang was $1,500 cheaper than a Crown Vic. "So, the sheriff said for me to get one," Twitchell says.
Twitchell's first sheriff's Mustang was an '04 Anniversary Edition. His '12 model, seen here, is his fourth Mustang patrol car since joining the department.
Photo GalleryView Photo Gallery
Twitchell went to the local Ford dealership and requested a new GT. The sheriff let him pick the color. Grabber Blue seemed appropriate as a term speeders might identify with. Twitchell also chose the six-speed manual over the automatic, making it easier to accelerate.
I wondered how Twitchell got the stripes and fiberglass hoodscoop approved. These extras appeared to be merely personal preference and not necessary. Twitchell asked the Ford dealership to add the side stripes and nonfunctional fiberglass hoodscoop, explaining to the sheriff that other officers added more expensive extras, such as XM Radio, to their patrol SUVs and trucks. The sheriff agreed a scoop and stripes was no big deal. In fact, Twitchell said he added a scoop to every other Mustang except for the '04, which came with one from the factory.
He also swapped the factory wheels for the wheels from his '08 Mustang GT and added "Mach 11" to the side of the scoop. "My badge number is 11," he explained. "So just to be kind of silly, I made it a Mach 11 instead of a Mach 1."
Other than "Exempt" license plates and the extra antenna on the rear quarter fender, the Mustang is unmarked.
Twitchell's duty is mainly traffic enforcement on the freeways, state highways, and county roads, so he has plenty of opportunities to chase speeders. I wondered if he showed any sympathy for Mustang drivers. Did he give them a break?
"I try to treat everybody the same, but yeah, I might have given a few of them a break here or there."

Intruder Shot on Christmas Eve
CEDAR HILL, Texas (AP) — Police in suburban Dallas say a homeowner has shot and killed an intruder who broke in late Christmas Eve.
Chris Knox, an attorney for the homeowner, told The Dallas Morning News the intruder entered the Cedar Hill home through a bedroom window just before midnight Tuesday. Knox says the homeowner's deadly actions were justified and "completely protected under Texas law."
Police spokesman Corky Brown says the intruder, identified as 31-year-old Joshua Slaven, was the stepson of Cedar Hill Mayor Rob Franke.
Franke lives a couple of blocks away and Slaven had been involved in an altercation last month at his home.
Court records show Slaven was arrested on a misdemeanor assault charge and an emergency protective order was issued.
Cedar Hill is about 20 miles southwest of Dallas.

Your 2011 in a Nutshell: Spend, Spend, Spend
By Don Reisinger | Posted 01-03-2011 Print
There are a lot of reasons why you've been putting off making decisions about which new technologies to invest in. On the computing side, you watched the promise of Windows Vista turn into an enterprise nightmare as the product failed to meet the needs of corporate customers, leaving you in a state of perpetual Windows XP. And, even if you wanted to invest in new technology, times have been tough. Many companies are still digging their way out of the Great Recession, facing trimmed budgets and trying to find ways to make aging solutions last a little bit longer. But, things may be looking up. According to a recent survey from the CDW IT Monitor, the next 12 months will be different from the past year. You'll have more money to spend on technology products and solutions. And where will you be spending that money? On new PCs and improved virtualization and mobility solutions, the survey finds. If 2010 was the year of tightening the belt and saving, 2011 is likely to see you loosening it up a little and bringing in new hardware and software to help your employees do a better job. Read on to find out what CDW IT Monitor found in its survey of more than 1,000 IT decision makers, conducted October 1 - 8, 2010.

ROCKFORD (WIFR) -- A Rockford man is arrested for allegedly driving drunk and causing a rollover crash.
It happened just after 8:00 p.m. Friday night at the intersection of Riverside and Rockton. Police say two vehicles, one behind the other, were both traveling westbound on Riverside. The car operated by Mikel Schuelke, allegedly crashed into the SUV in front of him, causing the SUV to roll over several time, trapping the driver inside. The driver of the SUV was taken to a local hospital for non life threatening injuries. Mikel Schuelke was arrested by police and faces charges of Driving Under the Influence and Failure to Reduce Speed to Avoid an Accident.

Pat Phelan's first career goal direct from Chris Tierney's free kick last weekend continued the Revolution's recent success from dead-ball situations
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – Playing its third game in eight days with just 14 healthy field players, the New England Revolution knew it would take a brave effort to grind out a result last weekend against a D.C. United side spurred on by the recent firing of its head coach.
The Revs withstood an early wave of pressure from the visitors and largely limited United's chances, although goalkeeper Matt Reis registered a season-high six saves and was massive when called upon. Using a slightly makeshift backline with central defender Emmanuel Osei positioned at right back, the Revolution put forth another solid defensive effort and claimed a fifth shutout in the last seven games in all competitions.
Yet a clean sheet alone couldn't earn the three points the Revs so desperately needed to get back into the playoff hunt. To do that, the Revolution had to find a way to break through United's rearguard and put the ball in the back of the net.
Enter the set piece.
Just as it appeared the teams would go into halftime scoreless following a largely uneventful first half, Pat Phelan got on the end of Chris Tierney's long free kick and nodded home his first career goal in the 42nd minute. It was the timeliest of goals and helped secure a plucky 1-0 victory on a night when the Revolution wasn't at its best.
"Clearly, the sharpness wasn't there," head coach Steve Nicol said of the Revolution's performance last Saturday night. "The SuperLiga games have definitely taken it out of us. The injury situation means we can't rest as many guys as we'd like to, but at the end of the day, guys turned up and gave us everything they had, and that's what got us the points."
Success from dead-ball situations can often be the difference between winning and losing, and that was certainly the case against United. While the Revs repelled four D.C. corner kicks and eight free kicks in the attacking half of the field, they capitalized through a combination of Tierney's perfect service and Phelan's opportunism in the box.
"Set pieces make a difference in the game," said captain Shalrie Joseph, one of the Revolution's biggest targets on free kicks and corner kicks. "Teams live and breathe off of that and for us it worked that we got one against D.C. When you're not playing well, sometimes you've got to rely on ugly goals, hard work and set pieces, and that's what we did last week."
Phelan's goal continued a recent trend for the Revs, who have been deadly on set pieces during the current seven-game unbeaten streak. Four of the Revolution's eight goals since the beginning of July have been the result of a set piece, including two direct free kicks off the left foot of Marko Perovic. Since the start of the season, the Revs have turned set pieces into goals five times in all competitions.
That's a noticeable increase from the 2009 campaign, when the Revs didn't convert a set piece until their 28th game of the regular season. New England finished last year with just two goals from dead-ball situations.
While the addition of Perovic has given the Revs a free-kick specialist, this year's set-piece success is down to more than just one individual player, as evidenced by last weekend's Tierney-to-Phelan combination.
"I think we just want it more (this year)," said Joseph. "In the box, it comes down to who wants it more and who's going to do whatever it takes to get that goal. I think we've come to a point where guys realize if we work hard … then we're going to get on the end of something and it's been going in for us this year."
The obvious benefit of the improvement on set pieces is the resulting goals, but being dangerous on dead-ball situations can also provide an advantage from the run of play. As opponents become aware of the Revolution's ability from free kicks, they may be more hesitant in their challenges around the box for fear of conceding fouls in dangerous areas. As a result, space could open up in the attacking third.
"If you're a threat on set pieces, it's just another thing the other team has to worry about," said Phelan. "That opens up space on the second line at the top of the box for short set pieces, or trick plays – whatever you want to call them. I think to have that in our arsenal is huge for us."

Last night, President Obama addressed the nation on how he would like to handle the chemical attacks carried out in Syria on defenseless people. The potential for another war in the oil rich region has me extremely concerned and I would like to stay up to date on what our country is going to do.
This morning, after dropping off my daughter at school I pulled up Yahoo.com to read the news and the home page and slider was void of the presidents speach. It didn't say a thing about the war, Russia and China opposing the attacks our president and France are proposing (England is out) and it still said nothing about "proof of who set off the chemical weapons", not even that chemical weapons killed hundreds.
Moreover, the news said nothing about the nuclear fallout from the Fukushima catastrophe and the proposed dumping of hundreds of thousands of gallons of radioactive water into the Pacific Ocean.
Worse that all this lack of news is that Yahoo shows what searches are currently trending on their search engine. Check out the top ten searches with my responses inline after the dashes;
- Jordon Brewster – Who is this?
- Ann Curry – Celebrity over World War 3?
- State Trooper Shot – Ok, I get this. Safety at home
- Duck Dynasty – Really people? I love Duck Dynasty but there is some gnarly stuff going on the world right now.
- 2 Million Bikers to D.C. – Bikers going to confront Muslims? Interesting but don't you want to know what the president said last night?
- Jurassic Park 4 – Sweet, another sequel. Hopefully they don't put chemical weapons in the movie theaters.
- Bloodhound Gang – Sigh…..
- Westboro Baptist – More hate breeding publicity. Forget about these retards. They will go away if you do.
- Rice Diet – Get skinny before you die of radiation exposure or in World War 3
- Glacier Park murder – This is National news? Ok.
It's hard to believe how bad the US Media is these days. It's almost laughable.

It's interesting that most of my cousin's matches are Spanish. This may change after testing more markers. I sorted out my Family Finder matches separating my mother's side from my father's. I was very surprised to find I had a match on my father's side and they had hispanic roots. My father has no hispanic roots that I am aware of?
It is interesting that Northern Burgenlanders are more Germanic than those of the south, where my family is from. It does look like my Burgenland family is a mix of ethnicities. I have some Hungarian matches on my father's side.
Considering my mother's Middle Eastern results were just Mozabite and mine included Palestinian; it's possible that the Palestinian is from my father? I'll upgrade the test when I have a chance and see if it can provide anymore insight?

Design & Origin
The fashion industry is a dirty bastard. Organic Basics was created in 2015 by four Danish guys who wanted to change that. We were tired of regularly buying, wearing, washing, and throwing away our overpriced big branded underwear. We thought it was unsustainable, bad for the environment, and a big waste of our time and money.
Better Fabrics
Fabric choice is a big choice to make. It's not only important for us, but it's important that we all understand the importance of our choices, too. We only ever use Class A and B fibers, and as we move forward we will push harder to use even more sustainable fabric options. Read on to discover the fabrics we use and love.
Better Factories
We work with and source from only the best factories in Europe. Together we bring experience and vision to create a better product and a higher standard of sustainable production. We visit our GOTS certified organic cotton farms, and factories in Izmir and Istanbul once every 3 months to make sure there are no unfair, or unsafe industry practices.
The Sustainable Model
Sustainable fashion is not just a trend, it's how we're going to build our future. We think that buying poor quality, fast fashion is a lot like peeing your pants when you're cold. It feels nice at first, but it's not so good later on. Nothing is less sustainable and more frustrating than something that falls apart after a wear and a wash, right? Buying better made means investing in quality that lasts.

Fans Rate 17-14 Win Over OU in 1978 NU's Top Game in NCAA Sellout Streak
Randy York's N-Sider
To "Respond to Randy" click on the link below and choose "Randy York's N-Sider" under "Area of Interest" on the new screen. Please include your name and make sure you type in your town/city/state after you share your thoughts on 1978 NU-OU game. Your ideas may be published at the bottom of this column.
Rick Berns remembers a conversation he had with Greg Roberts when both were playing for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the NFL.
One day, out of the blue, Roberts, an Outland Trophy winner for Oklahoma, looked at Berns and said flatly: "Texas was more of a rival for us than you all were!"
Berns thought about letting the remark pass. But then the soft-spoken Texas native and hard-charging Husker running back changed his mind. ABC's Offensive Player of the Game in Nebraska's 17-14 upset of No. 1-ranked OU in 1978, Berns turned around, looked Roberts in the eye and said: "There's no way you can make that statement with a straight face ... no way!"
Roberts "gave me that sly grin of his," Berns recalled. "Then he set the record straight, admitting that Nebraska, not Texas, was OU's No. 1 rival. He was just trying to get my dander up."
It didn't work. NU and OU both may have hit certain ruts in their road to excellence, but the rivalry has stood the test of time, and that 1978 game is one of the biggest reasons why.
The '78 win, of course, will live forever in the shadow of the 1971 NU-OU Game of the Century, but it also will forever hold a very special place in the history of this highly competitive series.
In a recent Huskers.com poll, the 1978 upset was voted the fans' favorite game in NU's NCAA record 300 consecutive home sellouts over 47 years at Memorial Stadium.
Players Wanted It for Coaches, Especially Osborne
Rick Berns thinks he knows why. "I don't know how else to put it, but I think our entire team just felt we gave every ounce we had to lift a giant burden off the shoulders of our coaching staff," he said. "It was a great feeling for everyone, but especially for our senior class and for Coach Osborne. We really wanted to win that game for him."
The Huskers had lost their first five games against OU under Osborne before the Blackshirts took on the challenge to make sure it didn't happen again.
"Our defense just hit Oklahoma all day long" said Berns, who rushed for 113 yards and a second-quarter touchdown that helped Nebraska take a 7-7 tie into the locker room at halftime. "Oklahoma fumbled nine times and lost six of them because the hits were so hard ... all day long."
Berns remembers Rod Horn and George Andrews getting big hits against the Sooners' vaunted offense that featured Heisman Trophy winner Billy Sims. He remembers Husker monster back Jim Pillen having a monster game that included eight tackles and two fumble recoveries.
Pillen's second recovery came with 1:31 remaining when Sims, who had a 44-yard touchdown run in the first quarter and a 30-yard scoring scamper in the third quarter, coughed up the football on the Nebraska three-yard line. Husker safety Jeff Hansen delivered the jarring hit that caused the fumble.
Sims, in Lincoln this weekend for the NU-OU game, learned long ago that it's easier to laugh about that game than let it fester any longer than it already had.
"Every time my teammates bring up that fumble, I tell them they were part of the play, too," he said, "and if they would have been blocking the people they were supposed to block, that safety wouldn't have had such a clean shot at me."
John Ruud Delivers The Hit ... a Signature Play
OU lost five more fumbles that day and, in fact, should have had one more turnover when Nebraska's John Ruud knocked the ball out of Kelly Phelps' hands on a second-half kickoff return.
"That was the biggest hit of the game, and we got a break on that one," Sims said. "That should have been ruled a fumble, and Nebraska would have only needed about 17 yards to score."
"Ruud almost de-cleated Phelps on that play," Berns said. "To this day, I've never seen a harder hit - in college or the pros. It was a signature play because it showed how much we wanted it and how much we were willing to give up to get it. Whenever it shows up in all the highlight reels, it doesn't surprise me. Every time you see it, you ooh, and you aah."
Ruud, brother of former Nebraska All-America linebacker Tom Ruud and uncle of Barrett and Bo Ruud, says people he doesn't even know still ask him about "The Hit."
"I've seen the play no more than five times in my life, but a lot of people tell me they can't even count the number of times they've seen it, and they never get tired of it," said Ruud, who has sold patio furniture for 25 years in Dallas.
"I live in Addison, Texas, and there's this neighborhood bar called Vernon's," Ruud said. "It's a Green Bay Packer bar, and they love the Huskers, too. I don't know how or why, but they know I made that hit."
NU-OU game brings 'The Hit' into high-definition
"I'm flattered that it's still considered a signature play in Nebraska football," Ruud said, admitting that rules now protect a ball carrier from getting hit that hard in the face.
Hopes to See More Players Like Burkhead
A signature play is nice, and it will always help John Ruud be a part of Nebraska football lore with his brother and his nephews.
But frankly, he's more interested in a certain program and a certain coach getting a signature win.
"It's time for the Huskers," John Ruud said. "It's time for the players to give Bo a signature win, and no one will be rooting for it harder than I will."
For years, people at Vernon's have talked about Rex Burkhead, Nebraska's freshman running back who inspired and impressed in Dallas before a broken foot put him on the sidelines at Nebraska. "He's the kind of kid who will bring Nebraska football back," Ruud said. "The more guys we recruit like Rex Burkhead, the sooner we'll get back to the way we were."

In the first part of "By the Way, Meet Vera Stark," the new play by the formidable, Pulitzer Prize-winning scribe Lynn Nottage, a couple of African-American actresses in 1933 Hollywood are perusing a screenplay. No surprise to these women, it is to be one of those Southern plantation epics — the story of a tragically beautiful octoroon who falls in love with a white merchant. The two women share a cynical laugh about the movie studio's creative bankruptcy and inept racism, and then they get to the meat of the conundrum. One points out that the character breakdown includes slaves. Her friend perks up.
"Slaves with lines?" she asks.
It's a brilliant, three-word encapsulation of the problem that has vexed African-American actors since Hollywood first began taking movie-goers' money. The roles have varied over the years — slave, maid, chauffeur, pimp, stool-pigeon, gangbanger, mystical best friend — but they all have offered little or no affinity with life as it is really lived and little challenge for the black actor as an artist. Then again, actors have to find work in their oversubscribed profession. And if all they're offered are slaves with lines, then, well, the only real options have been either to take the role and sell your dignity, or take the role and try to quietly subvert the stereotypical mindset of the studio.
Maybe that was how Hattie McDaniel got her Academy Award for "Gone with the Wind."
That compelling question is at the core of "Vera Stark," a very interesting and cheerfully cynical, if formatively unwieldy, play that just does not get the searingly uncompromising production it needed at the Goodman Theatre.
The problem with director Chuck Smith's uncharacteristically flat production is not difficult to describe. With the exception of portions of the first act, nothing you see on stage is ever fully believable. Most everything falls in that dangerous no-man's land between satire and truth, and thus you find yourself disappointingly uninvolved with Vera (played by Tamberla Perry), an actress who fights her way into the unfriendly confines of Hollywood, only to end up — well, let's not spoil the revelation of her fate.
Nottage is interested in stereotypes and what film theorists call "subversive readings," wherein minority and women actresses filled a role and undermined its objectifying elements at the same time — Marilyn Monroe, for example, arguably offered just such a performance in "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes," ever ready with a self-aware wink at the camera. I think Nottage wanted to have one foot in, say, the intellectual realism of Wendy Wasserstein's "The Heidi Chronicles" (exploring a woman's life in all its complexity through changing eras), and one in the outre satire of George C. Wolfe's "The Colored Museum," a wicked parody of stereotyping of all stripes.
One sympathizes with Nottage's impulse to lampoon the way academics have dissected the lives and careers of real people as if they were mere narrative constructs, but it's tough to have both those aims going on at once in the same play. Certainly, it defeated this particular production.
"Vera Stark" has three chronological Hollywood settings — in 1933, 1973 and 2003. The first era, which takes up the first act, is by far the strongest piece of writing and follows Vera and her roommates Lottie McBride (TaRon Patton) and Anna Mae (Amelia Workman) as they work every angle in a Hollywood dominated by such plastic, white sweethearts as Gloria Mitchell (Kara Zediker), who work for studio heads like Frederick Slasvick (Patrick Clear) and pretentious directors like Maximillian Von Oster (Ron Rains) who want to appropriate the oppression of African-Americans for their own creative ego. Movie fans will see many jokes embedded in these names.
Vera and Gloria develop a relationship, albeit one undermined by inequality. But the stylistic problems start straight away. There's no palpable complexity in what Perry and Zediker have going together: the one-note Zediker is just a stereotype of the dumb movie-star and that gets old, fast. Perry, who sometimes comes off as diffident rather than a striving realist and who seems to avoid the requisite extremes of emotionally experience, has little of the necessary blend of fear, intimacy and longing, even when flirting with the man she'll eventually marry, Leroy Barksdale (Chike Johnson). Act 2 begins with an actual movie — the one Gloria and Vera made together — being shown at an academic conference on Vera's legacy. This film lasts for several dull minutes and not a single frame looks anything like an actual movie from 1933, an era when the performers may have followed certain tropes but sure were not trying to look like overwrought actresses.
And then the academics and activists (roles played, overplayed, by doubling actors) start to show a video of a talk-show interview given by an aging Stark in 1973. We see that interview performed live, which is weird and static enough without the overblown characterizations that crush believability. Both Vera and Gloria show up again together — but neither seems to have aged 20 years, let alone forty.
Given the potential and the past excellence of Smith and others, it's a confounding night of theater. The lack of unity in Riccardo Hernandez's design — huge without explaining why and choppy enough that is gets in the way of direct theatrical communication — does not help matters.
Plays about movies and movie people, especially plays that have films embedded within, are tricky indeed, not least because the different rules and layers of artifice easily can end up in pitched stylistic battles. So it goes with "Vera Stark" at the Goodman.
When: Through June 2
Where: Goodman Theatre, 170 N. Dearborn St.
Running time: 2 hours, 25 minutes
Tickets: $25-$81 at 312-443-3800 or goodmantheatre.org

There has been a lot to talk about in the wake of the news that Tom Brady extended his contract with the Patriots, including some about what it means for Ryan Mallett that the Pats have secured their current starting quarterback through the 2017 season.
Some have suggested that the Patriots would take advantage of a soft quarterback market and try to trade Mallett for picks that could conceivably be used for another developmental quarterback to use behind Brady. That might turn out to be the case, but, according to a report from Jeff Howe of the Boston Herald, the Patriots aren't actively trying to make it happen.
Howe reports that the Patriots might be willing to listen to offers, but that all is quiet on that front at the moment. With Mallett under contract until 2014 and no job opening in New England without a disastrous turn of events, there's a good chance that will change.
They can't make a trade for another couple of weeks, there's plenty of time before the draft and the teams that might want to pull a trade off are still figuring out their options so urgency isn't at a premium before February comes to an end.

I'm new to PHP linking what i read in the books.
Understanding is going a bit slow , but there is a pain in my brain that will not go.
So i turn to you, for helping me find a cure.
I read PHP 4 bilbe..
The book has a part about GET and POST method wel there is something i don't understand about this.
Here is the code i use
Code: Select all
<FORM METHOD=POST ACTION="test2.php">
<SELECT NAME="Artiesten" align="center">
$hallo = "*"; \\ to see if i could use variable in a SQLstring
mysql_connect("$host") or die ("No COnnection");
mysql_select_db("$db") or die ("No Databasr Selected");
$query = "SELECT $hallo FROM Artiesten";
$result = mysql_query($query);
While($Artiesten = mysql_fetch_array($result))
print ("<OPTION VALUE=$Artiesten>$Artiesten[0]\n");
<input type=submit>
On the next page "test2.php the thing for me to do is something like
Code: Select all
print ("$Artiesten");
But that's not the question
i tryed to use the GET and POST method to get the info on the test2.php.
even diffenrent scripts from the book.
But i never get any results back.
here is my question.
Could there be something in my PHP.INI that is blocking the result to get to the "test2.php" page.
this because i have the feeling it's not handeld by PHP as i should.
Thanks for you time, hope you have the cure.
HAve a nice day.

Red Herring
Don't listen to Bill Gates. The open-source movement isn't communism.
This month, SAP's Shai Agassi referred to open-source software as "intellectual property socialism." In January, Bill Gates suggested that free-software developers are communists. A few years earlier, Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer called the open-source operating system Linux "a cancer." Considering what these guys say in public, I wonder what dark words they utter in private—that al-Qaida uses open-source software to plot terrorist attacks?
The philosophy behind open-source software is simple. Instead of zealously protecting source code—the blood and guts of any computer program—open source encourages any programmer to tear apart the code and build it back up again. The theory is that this collaborative process encourages innovation and decreases bugs by increasing the number of people with a stake in the project.
That anyone with an Internet connection can pop open the hood doesn't mean companies that use open-source programming can't make money. Red Hat does. So do Sleepycat, Sun, and many others. Ballmer and company don't object to open source because they think it's an economic loser. They can't stomach the fact that the enterprising creator has no more control over his code than any other Tom, Dick, and Harriet. Not only can more than one company rake in the dough, the other guys can alter your product any way they see fit, as long as they share these upgrades with everyone else. That's where the socialism rap comes in.
Microsoft views its source code as a trade secret. When it outsources application design to other companies, it supplies only the section of code the programmers need to accomplish their limited tasks. The company protects its programs with heavy encryption from competitors who may want to reverse-engineer it. Gates' thinking: You wouldn't expect Coca-Cola to share its recipe with Pepsi, and you shouldn't expect Microsoft to share its secret formula, either.
So far, Microsoft and its fellow travelers have held off the so-called socialists. Despite years of touchy-feely hype, the open-source movement has yet to produce a product that could go 12 rounds with Redmond on the consumer side. Mozilla Firefox has made some inroads against Internet Explorer 6, which hasn't been revamped since 2001.Butin July, Microsoft released a beta version of IE 7 to developers; a full-scale launch later this year could choke off Mozilla's hard-fought gains. And even though there are plenty of open-source office packages available (both for free and for a price), no popular alternative to Microsoft Word has emerged, either.
But open-source software isn't a failure by any means. It's everywhere and powers much of the Internet—it's just that it mostly handles the plumbing of computer systems rather than the pretty public interfaces. Open source hasn't gained a toehold on consumers' PCs because Microsoft has locked up 95 percent of that market. Capitalism, meet monopolism. But the World Wide Web is an entirely different matter.
The Web owes its existence to open source: Both the first text browser and the first graphical browser, Mosaic, were open-source projects. About 70 percent of the world's Web servers run on Apache, which powers some 50 million sites. If it weren't for free open-source software, companies like Amazon, Google, and Yahoo!—all of which run Linux—might never have got off the ground. Google, for example, uses an estimated 170,000 servers to power its search engines. If it used Microsoft Web server software—around $500 per computer in licensing fees—that would create an annual bill of about $85 million. That wouldn't put a dent in Google's budget today, but Sergey Brin and Larry Page never would have been able to start their company if they had had to pay those kinds of fees up front.
Gates, Ballmer, and Agassi say that open source is software socialism that stifles innovation. But it's the capitalists who have the tech world stuck in the mud. Microsoft's ham-fisted control over its software has done more to set back technological progress than a thousand open-source projects. When was the last time there was a truly revolutionary advance to the computer desktop that Microsoft dominates? By pocketing licensing fees, it has slowed entrepreneurship. By leveraging its monopoly over the desktop, it has prevented competitors from introducing products that would have offered an incentive for Redmond to innovate.
As Microsoft deals with Google's growing threat by looking to the Web, it has obviously taken notice of how open-source software companies do business. With the upcoming "Windows Live," Microsoft plans to earn money with advertising and by charging a premium for certain services. That's not unlike the business strategy of Sleepycat, the company behind the open-source database program Berkeley DB. One version of Berkeley DB can be downloaded for free, and programmers can modify and distribute it any way they like as long as they give away their improvements. Then there's the version that makes money. Companies that license the software—like Nasdaq, Nokia, and Cisco—maintain complete control over the source code and any improvements or revisions they make.
Sleepycat's president *, Michael Olson, told me that his company has grown at a rate of 35 percent per year since it was incorporated in 1996. (He declined to divulge the firm's revenues.) Sleepycat makes chump change compared to Microsoft, but if Bill Gates wants to compete against Google, the old way of doing business—charging hundreds of dollars for software out of the box—won't fly. Microsoft probably won't open up its software for curious programmers to monkey with. But Gates has never been against borrowing a good idea. That's one principle he and the open-source crusaders can agree on.

Sticky Toffee Triumph
It is great to know that our puddings are appreciated by pudding lovers
Felicity a Sticky Toffee Pudding lover emailed recently.
"I just wanted to write and tell you how much I have enjoyed the little sticky toffee puddings you now sell in Waitrose. I've been a Great Taste Award judge for the last 2 years- and in that capacity I've blind tasted a LOT of puddings- it's my special area of expertise! I can safely say yours is the best yet. The sponge bit is so soft and moist, and there's plenty of sauce, which to my mind is always the best bit. And the small ones are just the right size- and brilliant to be able to buy just the one" Felicity Channel 4 News

Opinion: The End of the Pemex Monopoly
Why Peña Nieto's reform has promise. WSJ's "Americas" columnist Mary Anastasia O'Grady and Assistant Editorial Page Editor James Freeman discuss. Photo: Getty Images

... what would target appropriately oil bargains more exploration sold or North America is not the red states away so soft on border of Mary Anastasia O'Grady are America's columnist where of ... course you have a president who thinks only of green energy and lots of science projects but ... in Mexico some interesting a ... activity you've been following with a relatively new president there who wants to ... open up the energy sector and no oil specifically ... yes well I aam and MITI and was elected last December he took office ... and that he wants to I guess the prom Exco pass which is that its oil resources are all owned by the state ... and the only company that is according to the Constitution allowed to take the line on the ground is ... a company called Pemex it's a national I'll monopoly ... and panics has not been doing a very good job ... I in the last decade it's a production has been declining ... twenty five percent I think from two thousand and three ... until two thousand twelve ... on that and of course this as an influence on in the next game budget because about ... a third of its revenues come from Cemex ... and got so if oil production ... keeps declining the government will have less money to spend and he wants to address that ... by opening up the sector and allowing ... private companies to explore and explain and sell gasoline than expected because the history there this is a constitutional issue because it's another tremendous part of the national identity then we'll Resources oughta be owned by ... the government of Mexico as opposed to foreign corporations but to ... but even though without going all the way do what we would like to say words private ownership of all its resources so there's a lot he can do the kind of move toward at least an incentive for private companies to develop their right that's exactly what he's doing he's trying to get to amendments to the Constitution and law allow ... private companies nonstate companies and state companies ... I to ALM ... that have contracts with the governments of the contracts wouldn't just ... in the past there have been some private sector contacts but there with ... Pemex the aisle monopoly these would be directly with the government for example if the government said ... we wanna develop this field were we know their resources ... he could say we're open for bidding and ... on Friday different ... companies can and and that means effectively ... the end of the monopoly ... now we don't know exactly ... what the nature of those contacts will be because once the constitutional amendment is done ... then that Congress will pass what they call secondary legislation ... to define what the contacts can and cannot be entered ... you know right now there's a big debate about whether they will only be profit sharing ... or what other when and what profit sharing will mean exactly ... are there so you know maybe I just want skepticism among some ... American another oil company is to have good deal this is can be for them might you mention the McCollam Leah ... reforms under a previous president cargoes such ... as can be held around I didn't ... really goes far is that life and presumably Mr King is not to be expanding the political capital to do this ... unless there's some upside some incentive for the company's ... some growth in the sector which will in the mean more government revenue ... yet I mean I think that's exactly right he he well he will have the incentives along with the center right party that the common on ... to actually draft some legislation that makes it attractive for the companies to go in and what I worry about is why does the government wants um it's my revenue at once my revenue because it wants to spend more ... and so ... you know you would hope that if all the sudden Pemex was a sorry the oil sector was producing a lot more revenue ... than the government would turn around and cut taxes and liberate the economy more but that doesn't seem to be the plan of this press and that I find a little bit wary when someone for more welfare state on his or her go crazy saying there's a big three murder of former US of the border ... but ... we should note ... Richard Fisher a ... ahead of the Dallas Federal Reserve Bank to ... saying it was very ... knowledgeable it was a smart guy ... that sang Mexico right now the policy mix of terms a national economic policy better than the US ... is yet and that one ... well don't forget that the doubts that also keeps an eye and Mexico for a pretty close eye on Mexico ... anything said ... President Dallas Fed President ... Richard Fisher ... is focusing on the macro ... of fiscal picture is even very frustrated and Washington and ... I you know Congress and President have not done anything to address you know the looming budget deficits and so forth and ask really the Fed to do ... the work there ... and I and in Mexico I they seem to learn that lesson least for now ... that ... you know ahead the government ... deficit spending ... it is costly to long-term economic growth and so they've been very careful to keep their budgeting they didn't even go with the crazy stimulus spending program they did some stimulus spending but it was pretty ... out contains them right after that fiscal cry of the financial crisis ... and I'm you know they've also banned very hot vigilant about our watching the value that is so and and on making sure that they ... don't ... invite and inflationary problems so much that they had in the past few years for Washington study of some good examples of Lexia studio fall if they choose the great thing for sure ...

NCS members who attended The Reubens last weekend in New Orleans were treated to the first issue of a new publication... Stay Tooned magazine.
I saved my copy for the plane trip home - and read it cover to cover. One article in particular caught my attention: a profile of Marcus Hamilton, the artist who took over the daily Dennis the Menace newspaper panel when Hank Ketcham decided in 1993 that he would like to retire.
While today's images are all by Hank Ketcham, today's story is really about Marcus Hamilton. I was fascinated to read about his career, because he always intended to be an illustrator - and talks in the article about achieving that goal beginning in the early 70's with assignments from Cosmopolitan and Good Housekeeping, and continuing for the next 21 years with, "a steady stream of illustration assignments."
Hamilton writes, "I thought I had finally arrived when I had the opportunity to do the cover art for the Christmas issue of the Saturday Evening Post in 1978."
Sadly, things began to fall apart for Hamilton in the late 80's and early 90's when the computer made its debut in the graphic arts. "Art directors wanted the cutting-edge computer graphics that were getting more attention from readers," writes Hamilton. "They didn't want the 'old-fashioned' acrylic paintings and watercolors anymore."
Hamilton's assignments - and income - dropped so drastically that he was forced to take a job in a photo booth at a local Wal-Mart. Then one day in 1993, while flipping through the channels on tv, he happened upon an interview with Hank Ketcham. The Dennis the Menace creator was saying that he wished he could find someone to take over the daily panel of his long-running strip so that he might have some time to travel and paint. For Marcus Hamilton this was opportunity knocking.
What follows is an inspiring story of a career (and a love of drawing) revived - at age 50, no less. Its a moving read filled with great, personal anecdotes about the artist's relationship with Ketcham after he became the master cartoonist's apprentice and, in fairly short order, his replacement.
"Mr. Ketcham trained me to re-think my drawing style to look more like his," writes Hamilton, "its almost like that style has taken over my thinking."
"Dennis... rejuvenated my love for drawing, a love I had lost over a few years time because, during the end of my freelance career, I found myself doing jobs just to make enough money to pay my bills."
There's more - much more. Hamilton even shares a terrific step-by-step demonstration of how he composes and executes a Dennis panel - great stuff for the reader, whether you are a student, professional or simply interested in the cartoon business. Go to staytoonedmagazine.com for more details on this first issue of what looks to be a great new publication.
