- Description: We are all potential artisans. I use the word artisan rather than artist because I am a blue collar nuts and bolts kind of guy and I think artisan is best suited to me. Being an photographer has different many artistic possibilities and the art of photography can be summed up in terms of making or taking a photograph or, as I prefer to say, to capture or compose an image. I prefer compose! So why am I a photographer? There are a variety of reasons. One is that I want to slow the world down. I want to pause and focus. It is something of a meditative process for me, like meditating on a mantra. I want to focus on a subject, single mindedly observing with all else temporarily forgotten. Being "in the moment" is a healthy state of mind; it helps me relax and cope with the fast moving world around me. It also reaffirms that it is often the simpler things in life that are most important. Secondly I just love nature. Never ceasing to be amazed and inspired by the Grand Lady herself. Perhaps most importantly nature reaffirms how lucky I am. Despite all my imperfections I am a part of all this beauty, all this possibility, all this hope, I too am nature! Lastly, it's always exciting to discover new ways to be creative, learn new things about perspective, composition and lighting. Artistic outlet knows no bounds and composition evolves as if it had a life of its own. My desire as a photographer is to create a unique window of light and colour through which others can view my world.

The back room was Wills domain, and Wills alone.
Aside from the main arcade room, a complex labyrinth of bulky, aging arcade machines and dim lighting, The Arcade also boast a partial kitchen, which housed a small griddle and a single, table top fryer that William used to fix his guests something to eat should they get hungry while they passed coin after coin f rom their heavy pockets into his waiting machines. The fare was simple enough, burgers, tots , fries, onion rings, chicken sandwiches or some frozen tenders he bought down at the grocery, stocked in a standard fridge/freezer combination that used to sit in his house. The freezer held the food, while the fridge he kept stocked with cans of soda, which he pretty much sold at cost. The only other room was one of more mystery. Nestled between the kitchen and the bathrooms, Will had made a small work shop nicknamed the pit. The pit was the focus of a monthly fiasco during which Will would reveal the newest machine to added to the arcade. Always machines of a second hand nature, always bought by Will with some small amount of repair work needed, and always a top secret to do during the weeks before the big reveal to get the machine in the back door and secured before anyone could catch a glimpse of make or title. Then like clockwork, on the first Saturday of the month, at 3:21 pm, a drum roll would still every breath within the walls of the Arcade as the doors to the pit were swung open and Will wheeled out his newest machine.
Well Saturday was coming, and with screw driver in hand, and a bright light shining over a wooden work table littered with arcade pieces as though spare bolts down at JRs lube, Will worked diligently at the control mechanism of his latest procurement. The machine itself rested beneath a heavy, white sheet, tucked in a corner behind a curtain drawn around it. Aside from the spot line shining down on the desk, the rest of the pit was doused in a thick blanket of darkness, and though a small radio blared Candleboxs You, sounds of the arcades in the next room bleed through as though the walls made of paper. He wiped at his brow, looking towards the door as he heard the voice bleed through the sounds of alternative 90s rock, and the chips and bells of nearly a dozen monotone arcade machines sounding at once.
Nimble fingers returned screw driver and joystick assembly back onto the white towel that held the rest of the missing pieces as he stood up from the stool he had been sitting on for nearly an hour. His back stretched as he stood, and he let out a small grunt as muscles form to position by time were suddenly coaxed into manipulation of form, and before he stepped into the main room of the Arcade, he wiped his hands on a second, white shop towel. As he exited the door to the pit, being sure to close and secure it quickly behind him, as though to keep something live and loose within, he plucked his hat off a hook resting on the outside of the door, meant to serve as a signal that he was within, and should he be needed: holler.
Will, in spite of his time at the arcade, was in excellent physical health. His face was slender, his cheeks smooth, free of wrinkle or sign of his age. His upper lip and chin bore a weeks worth of facial hair resembling a young goatee and mustache of a nearly black color, but no other hair marred his smooth face. His arms were slender, yet well-muscled, as though he always lived an active, athletic life, without concern for strength beyond that gained throughout the day to day chores of life. He spent no time at gyms, but chose to keep active, to eat right. He ran in the mornings, as was made obvious by his slender build, and his nightly routine included a brief stented workout designed to both maintain and strengthen long, lean muscles. The truth was he was in his mid forties, but judging by appearance, he looked to be nearly a decade younger and when he plucked the wide brimmed, brown hat from the door, and returned it to his head, his age seemed to fluctuate again, making him the bane of the age guesser booth attendants at the county fairs.
Well, we cant have you wasting away on my account, Hen, Will spoke, as he came to rest against the opposite side of the bar from where Henrietta sat. The bar that separated the kitchen, as well as the pit, from the main room was a solid mahogany piece, highly polished and well built, as though yanked from the finest establishments in old Savannah. It was highly polished, darkly stained, and though the rest of the arcade was devoted to games, loud noises and excitement, the dark stained bar brought a sense of calm sophistication to the place, an odd construct that everyone wondered about, but nobody asked. Oh the rumors flew, as they often did in a town such as this, that Will opened the Arcade in the wee hours of the morning as an after hours pub that the bar dated back to old Prohibition days, when The Arcade had served as an old staging building for the local post. Some claimed olman Travis built it out of a tree that fell in his back yard, while still others claim he won it in a bet with a man from Savannah. To Will, it was a touch of sophistication, but he would hardly tell anyone else that. When asked, he would simply smile and deflect the question as he always did, turning attentions to the new high score on this game or that
So whatll it be, Will asked, stepping to the swinging door between kitchen and bar, to reach and grab an apron hanging upon a hook just within the kitchen, and as he sat to putting it on, he looked up to see the celebration: the high score has been beat.. the challenge issued.

Key product features:
- Pre-optimized workflow for Real-Time RT-PCR from single cells
- Maximum sensitivity for single cell analysis
- Superior performance and reproducibility than alternatives
- Complete kit convenience and easy to follow protocol
Pre-optimized Protocol Ensures Success and Saves Time!
The Ambion® Single Cell-to-CT™ Kit presents a complete validated workflow for gene expression analysis for samples containing between 1-10 cells. Each kit contains reagents for sample preparation, reverse transcription, pre-amplification and qPCR that have been optimized together in a simple workflow that can be completed in only 5 steps (Figure 1). Each workflow begins with a simple 7 minute sample prep where cells are effectively and reproducibly lysed with minimal processing into a solution that is compatible with downstream RT-PCR without the need for purification. This is followed by VILO™ with Superscript for reverse transcription, the TaqMan® PreAmp Master Mix to amplify the cDNA, and TaqMan® Gene Expression Master Mix for qPCR. All four of these steps have been developed to provide maximum sensitivity. The entire cell sample is maintained in the same well throughout the procedure so there is no sample loss or dilution of the precious limited material that could affect sensitivity.
Single Cell Sensitivity Accomplished
Sensitivity of real-time PCR results can be affected by the efficiency of sample preparation, reverse transcription or amplification. The Ambion® Single Cell-to-CT™ Kit has addressed each of these potential problem areas to create a solution that enables reliable and robust gene expression analysis from single cells with maximal sensitivity. Detection of single cell equivalents using the Single Cell-to-CT™ Kit demonstrates appropriate linearity and sensitivity of qPCR results compared to an 100 cell sample control with excellent technical reproducibility (Figure 2). As expected, individual single cells exhibit greater variability due to inherent biological heterogeneity. In addition, through inclusion of a cDNA pre-amplification step, targets of interest are accurately amplified prior to real-time PCR. This critical step boosts signal in an unbiased manner, extending the analysis potential of limited samples. Figure 3 demonstrates the accuracy and signal enhancement of a 96-gene panel using pre-amplification.
Superior Performance and Reproducibility Over Alternatives
Traditional sample preparation methods using organic solvents, glass fiber filters, or magnetic beads are not suitable for single cell analysis due to the loss of sample through incomplete RNA precipitation, binding, and elution. Additionally, most single cell homebrew methods which involve simple boiling to lyse cells lack the ability to inactivate endogenous RNases to stabilize gene expression profiles and can result in chemical cleavage of the RNA and inhibitor carry over, including gDNA contamination, which can affect all qRT-PCR applications. In contrast, the Ambion® Single Cell-to-CT™ Kit shows superior sensitivity and reproducibility for single cell analysis compared to traditional purification or homebrew boiling methods (Figure 4).

- Wild thing
- Skye
- 1968
Armando Peraza was born in Havana, Cuba, ca. 1924 (due to the circumstances in 1920s Cuba, the birth date is uncertain). He was orphaned by the age of 7 and lived most of his childhood on the streets. As a natural musician, it didn't take long until he was playing with all the famous conjuntos (small bands) in Havana. In 1948 Peraza left Cuba to join his friend Mongo Santamaria in Mexico. They arrived in New York 1949 and immediately found themselves playing with the famous latin jazz musician Machito. After a while Charlie Parker asked Peraza to join in to a recording session with him, Buddy Rich and some others. After moving to San Francisco in the early 1950s Peraza worked with with Perez Prado, Dizzy Gillespie, Charles Mingus and Dexter Gordon to name a few. In 1954 he met Cal Tjader and years later joined his band for six years. Throughout the 1960s Peraza played with various jazz and latin artists before joining the Carlos Santana's band in 1972. He was a key player for 18 years before retiring from the band at the age of 66. During that period he was playing around the world partnering with other top class percussionists like José Chepito Areas, Mingo Lewis, Raul Rekow and Orestes Vilató.
Although Peraza never wanted to be a bandleader, preferring to be recognized as a featured musician, he released a solo album in 1968. This album, Wild Thing, was released on small Skye label that was co-owned by Cal Tjader, Gary McFarland and Gábor Szabó. Skye was active only few years releasing 21 studio albums before filing a bankcruptcy in 1970. Due to his connections, Peraza got a quite interesting set of musicians to his album. Pianist Chick Corea, flautist Johnny Pacheco, bassist Chuck Rainey, percussionists Cal Tjader and Tommy Lopez, drummer Donald McDonald and saxophonist Sadao Watanabe among some others joined him on this session.
Many of the tracks on this one are covers. First up is a nice latin groove cover of "Wild thing", originally recorded by a New York band The Wild Ones and later made famous by the UK band The Troggs. In a weird way it reminds me more of "La bamba" than the original. Next one is a midtempo version of "Mony Mony", originally by Tommy James & the Shondells and later covered by Billy Idol and several others. Another much covered song here is "Funky Broadway", originally by Dyke & the Blazers. It turns out to be a great midtempo latin funk track. The last song, "Granny's samba" - originally by Gary McFarland - is a heavy latin jam with a really long tight break in the middle. There's also original compositions like "Red onions", which is a really good one. As expected, this album is really percussion heavy with occasional breaks on almost every song and continuous rhythm grooviness throughout the album.

ROCKINGHAM — Even though her team is all but guaranteed a spot in next week's state 4A playoffs, Richmond Senior coach Victoria DeFrate still wants to earn that berth.
The Raiders finished fourth in the Southeastern Conference in the regular season with a 3-7 mark. This would allow the squad to grab the conference's final automatic bid into the playoffs.
However, the Raiders need to dodge one final bullet before making their travel plans. If either Hoke County or Purnell Swett — which were fifth and sixth, respectively — win the conference tournament, then Richmond would be forced to watch the playoffs from the stands.
"I think there is something to earning it," DeFrate said. "We want to win tomorrow. We would rather earn it on the court then have to wait to see if Hoke or Swett lose."
Richmond (6-16) can take Hoke County (5-19) out of the equation with a victory tonight in the first round of the SEC tournament. The Raiders and the Bucks split their season series with each team winning on their home court.
In the first meeting, Richmond limited Hoke to 10 first-half points en route to a 54-31 victory. Shaquail Wall scored a game-high 17 points to lead three Raiders in double figures. Jade Evans added 11 and Kevyna Stanback chipped in with 10. Courtney Pate netted a team-leading seven points for the Bucks, while La'Queria Peterkin finished with six.
Hoke claimed the rematch 53-45 behind Shanice Horne, who scored a game-high 24 points. Brooke McIntosh added seven points in the victory. Wall, once again, led Richmond with 17 points, while Evans knocked in 11.
"When we lost to them the second time, we wanted to play them again," DeFrate said. "This is kind of like seeing which team really earned the fourth-place seed."
Purnell Swett (1-20) will travel to Pinecrest (14-8) in the other opening round contest. The Patriots swept the Rams this season, winning 42-9 and 57-32.
Richmond, Pinecrest to meet for third time
ROCKINGHAM — The Richmond Senior boys basketball team will battle Pinecrest for the third time this season in the semifinals of the Southeastern Conference tournament 7 p.m. Wednesday at Raider Gymnasium.
Pinecrest, the No. 3 seed, advanced after stopping Purnell Swett 61-48.
The Raiders (17-7) swept the season series with the Patriots. In the first meeting, Trey Pettigrew scored 17 points to lead Richmond to a 78-67 victory. Pettigrew was one of four Raiders in double figures. Jalen McDonald and Josh Calhoun each netted 12, while Shydamion Ellerbe dropped in 11. Justin Ray had a game-high 22 points for Pinecrest in the loss. Adam Cummings notched 18 and Trevron Wooten scored 11.
In the latest contest, Richmond need a fourth-quarter rally to pull out a 49-47 road win over Pinecrest. Ellerbe recorded a double-double — 20 points and 17 rebounds — for the Raiders. Jordan Richardson added 10 in the victory.
Lumberton outlasted Scotland in the other opening round contest, 61-53. Hoke County, the regular season champions, will play host to Lumberton 7 p.m. Wednesday.
Raiders baseball team win two
CAMERON — The Richmond Senior baseball team opened its season with scrimmage victories over Union Pines and Jack Britt.
The Raiders defeated the Vikings 5-3 behind Bradley Brown and Chalin Williamson as both slugged two-run home runs in the four-inning win. Cody Leviner and Brown pitched in the contest for Richmond.
Adam Sweatt had a two-run single to lead the way for the Raiders in a 3-0 victory against the Buccaneers. Nic Bullard, James Buie and Brandon Gibson combined for the five-inning shutout.
Richmond will return to action 5 p.m. Thursday when it travels to Whiteville for another scrimmage contest.
Ellerbe named underrated free agent
BALTIMORE — Adam Schein, a NFL.com columnist, called former Richmond Senior standout Dannell Ellerbe as one of the top underrated free agents this season.
Ellerbe recorded a team-leading nine tackles in the Baltimore Ravens' Super Bowl victory over the San Francisco 49ers.
Schein wrote, "The Baltimore Ravens know how good he is and how good he can be. During the regular season, I thought he played better than Ray Lewis, making him more than ready to replace Lewis full-time as a player on game day. But Baltimore certainly has bigger free-agent fish to fry in Joe Flacco and (potentially) Ed Reed.
If Ellerbe hits the open market, scoop up the inside 'backer — fast. He's only scratched the surface."

With all the bounty money going around, I wonder how much of that money was made available as "TIPS" to the officials for NON CALLS?
The NFL was aware of this during that time and as reports are coming out they warned the saints about such things.
My question is : "Why didn't they warn the officials to look for such things"? Doesn't make sense honestly. They allowed this to go on knowingly. They should'nt have.
As a Falcon fan I get ticked thinking back on some critical calls made throughout the years against the Falcons.
There were some FOR SURE CALLS every game against the Falcons that you could bank on getting called against the Falcons even WHEN THEY DID NOT MAKE THOSE PENALTIES. For one : "Block in the back", that was called forever against the Falcons special teams, which always resulted in giving the other team great field position starting out.
Now, back to the Aint's vs Vikings game, I would have preferred as a fan watching a legitimate game being won or lost.
I question who got paid on the officiating end of all of this. If the NFL knew this was going on and warned the saint's, where were the officials? I don't get it?

Pakistani police say a Muslim cleric planted evidence to link a Christian girl to blasphemy -- a new twist in a case that has fanned flames of religious tension in the country and attracted worldwide interest.
The imam, Khalid Jadoon Chishti, will himself face blasphemy charges for tearing pages out of a Quran to use as evidence against the girl, Islambad police chief Bin Yamin said.
The latest development may make it easier for the girl, 14-year-old Rimsha, to be released on bail at her next court hearing.
Police arrested Rimsha last month after a neighbor accused her of burning pages containing texts from the Muslim holy book, the Quran.
Rimsha had two shopping bags with her: one containing ashes and the other, the partially burned pages, police said. She had gathered the paper as fuel for cooking, authorities said.
Even though Rimsha's lawyer said no one actually saw the girl burning the papers, the neighbor went to Chishti -- the neighborhood cleric -- with the bags for safekeeping as evidence.
Chishti wasn't certain that simply burning pages with texts from the Quran would be enough to convict Rimsha on blasphemy charges, said Munir Jaffery, the investigating officer in the case.
So, the imam added two pages from the holy book itself to the bag to bolster the case, Jaffery said.
Police arrested Chishti on Saturday after three witnesses told a judge about the imam's actions.
He was sent to jail for 14 days, accused of evidence tampering.

The car of the week.
The car of the week.
The split window was a horrible idea. I don't understand why it is so desirable now other than its scarcity.

It looks cool, and it's rare because it blocked the rearward view too much and was never done again.
One of my favorite cars of all time.
Congratulations to RHR, & all the winning drivers & teams in the fantastic 2012 season. Looking forward to 2013!
We are all together now. Goal 22-24 races per year split 50:50 oval:RC/SC
The "they" was probably my first employer, the former Libbey Owens Ford Co. (now Pilkington NA). I suspect the problem was getting enough heat into the glass to bend the ends, but keep the center section and the large areas on the ends flat. The car had a nice, smooth fastback profile, but with too much heat those large would have made a bow in the glass that wouldn't match the body shape...
The '63 split window Corvette was one of the most beautiful cars ever produced, imho!
Have a very blessed day!
I had one for about 18 months `75-76 while I was in the Air Force it was plain Jane White with black interior and a powerglide... Just to be able to say I had one. The girls liked it.

Make that two votes. I LOVE its looks and could not care less if you cannot see behind you because you would be passing just about everyone anyway.The '63 split window Corvette was one of the most beautiful cars ever produced, imho!
Split windows are cool!
The looks and the rarity drive the price, TD. It looks great, but as has been pointed out, the split blocks the rear view. The rarity, you see, comes in great part from the fact that a lot of owners of '63s had the body shop hack the center bar out later on and replace it with a '64-'67 one-piece rear window. So an original split-window '63-especially one that has never been cut-is rare indeed.

One of the guys I work with bought one in boxes and is doing a ground up on it. It's year 3 but he's good and it's going to be a beauty.
The story I heard was that Bill Mitchell really pushed the split window design because it emphasized the hood bulge and the crease line down the center of the top of the car.
Zora Duntov hated the design because it was almost impossible to see out the back of the car, especially when trying to park it.
One day, Duntov was trying to parallel park a prototype with Mitchell close by. Zora jumped out of the car and told Mitchell, "Here, you park the damn thing...", or words to that effect; Mitchell tried...couldn't...and the rest is history.
For a collector, there probably aren't too many situations where parallel parking would be a priority, so rearward visibility doesn't enter the equation.
wow! I had forgotten how sexy they were! You gotta remember this is 1963. Corvettes looked like a rocket ship compared to your fathers Oldsmobile. As far as the split window goes - no true affecianado would park anywhere near another car car. So, parrallel parking is out. The proper thing to do was pick a spot at the far end of the parking lot, at least three spaces from the nearest car, park the car such that you only have pull out ahead, and when you pull out lay rubber for as far as your wallet can stand - tires cost money you know.

ATLANTIC CITY - The afternoon sun was beating hot at Bader Field on Saturday when Black Tusk, a sludge-metal trio from Savannah, Ga., played the first ear-assaulting notes of the Metallica-headlined and -curated two-day Orion Music + More festival.
"We're going to do an old song now," Black Tusk drummer Jamie May said on the festival's Damage Inc. stage. "And if you know it, you know it's about . . . SATAN!"
With that, the much-more-than-just-metal Orion, which takes its name from a multipart instrumental on the 1986 Metallica album Master of Puppets, kicked off the biggest-ever music festival season in the Philadelphia region.

Myrna Lardizabal de Vera: There's a new mayor in Hercules, California
Myrna Lardizabal de Vera's remarks on Mayorship are found here at the Hercules Patch.
Excerpts of Myrna Lardizabal de Vera's acceptance speech (when she was sworn in as Councilmember) last December 14, 2010 can be found at the Hercules Patch.
Lorna Dietz's Notes: Myrna de Vera also created her own website (with a lot of help from Google and initial guidance from her new media publisher-sister, Noemi Lardizabal Dado). She personally maintains her website's content. Mayor Myrna is an aspiring novelist.
Press Contact:
Lorna L. Dietz
Vice-Chair, NaFFAA Region 8, Northern CA
NaFFAAR8.com Media Group
July 5, 2011, Hercules, CA — Myrna Lardizabal de Vera was appointed as the new mayor of Hercules, California at 7:17pm on June 21, 2011 during a special Council meeting at the City of Hercules's Council Chambers. The 20-year resident of Hercules, California, according to a political observer, was accelerated into office as a result of many factors that stimulated a "fast track" within the city government. After serving in the Planning Commission for five years, De Vera had run for a seat in the city council during the November 2, 2010 elections, pledging "The Right Change, based on Competence, Commitment, and Character."
Myrna de Vera and John Delgado were elected as Council members and assumed office in December 2010. After Mayor Ed Balico resigned in January 2011 and Vice-Mayor Joanne Ward took over the vacant position, de Vera was appointed as the city's new vice-mayor. The June 7, 2011 Special Elections resulted in a successful recall of Mayor Ward and Council member Donald Kuehne. Three members of the grassroots recall movement were sworn into office as the newest council members on June 21: Dan Romero, William Wilkins, and Gerard Boulanger. After the ceremony, Myrna de Vera was appointed as Mayor and John Delgado as Vice-Mayor.
It has been less than a month since a new council has been in place, all freshmen council members, with Mayor Myrna de Vera as the oldest "rookie." De Vera seems to take everything in stride. According to Mayor Myrna, good governance practices are critical to the city's success in its financial recovery.
Tom Lochner of Contra Costa Times best explained in his article, "Hercules Councilman-Elect, despite resume padding, plans to accept seat," dated June 11, 2011, how the recall drive started.
"The recall occurred at a time of public anger over the city's financial crisis and over its business relationship with a company that Nelson Oliva founded and that he said he transferred to two daughters shortly before he became city manager in April 2007; that company, NEO Consulting Inc./Affordable Housing Solutions Group, had $3 million in city contracts over a three-year period, approved by the City Council. But the pivotal event that triggered the recall drive was the council's firing in December of interim City Manager Charlie Long, who had publicly disclosed the gravity of the financial crisis, and its reinstatement of Oliva from medical leave, if only temporarily. Oliva resigned in January under an agreement that gave him a year's salary and benefits."
Mayor Myrna de Vera, during her first address at the City Council meeting, immediately assessed the developments of the first half of 2011 and articulated the direction of her administration for the remainder of the calendar year.
"The past six months have been filled with tough decisions and painful cuts. Projects shelved, contracts cancelled, and the most sobering of all, the laying off of 40 percent of our city staff. City morale is at its all time low.
But many recent changes have been positive. We started engaging the community through citizen ad hoc committees, achieved transparency through a more open city hall culture. We also laid the groundwork for the next stages of change.
We have a long way to go. The council's priorities are to restore the people's trust in our city government, build strong city leadership, put our finances in order, and develop new sources of revenue."
After de Vera stated the kind of workload that was expected of the city council and staff, she added:
"During my oath-taking speech last December, I talked about the journey we are embarking along a steep and rough terrain. Today, we are continuing on this road to recovery, driving our car balanced with the four wheels of community, family, finances, and faith.
What is our destination? We are driving toward achieving our vision of the City of Hercules, free of corruption and fiscally-sound, a city with a transparent council, responsive to the will of the people. Together, we are heading to our vision of a Hercules that — once again — shines, a city we can be once again proud of."
Myrna de Vera is originally from Cebu City, Philippines. She was selected as "Woman of the Year" by the Hercules City Council, and given a Special Recognition Award by the Hercules Chamber of Commerce in 2010. Myrna de Vera was awarded as one of 2009's 100 Most Influential Filipina Women in the U.S. under the "Policymakers and Visionaries" category by the Filipina Women's Network.
De Vera owns and manages an insurance agency in San Francisco. Her husband, Manuel, and she have been residing in Hercules with their three sons, Mark, Christian, and Emmanuel since 1991.
For the Asian American community in Hercules, Mayor Myrna de Vera symbolizes the relevance of diversity, reflecting the city's population, in political empowerment. She is the sixth American of Filipino ancestry to sit in office. Vice-Mayor John Delgado is also one-quarter Filipino. The former Filipino American mayors were Goni Solidum, Andy Paras, Ed Manuel, Frank Batara, and Ed Balico. Myrna de Vera is also the first Filipina woman mayor of Hercules, California. For more information about the City of Hercules, go to http://www.ci.hercules.ca.us/. You can reach Mayor de Vera by email at firstname.lastname@example.com.
BEFORE THE NOVEMBER 2010 ELECTIONS: On the Campaign Trail
Myrna de Vera and her siblings visited Seafood City in Concord, California. Adin Martin Villanueva, who takes care of Seafood City's Northern California Events, asked Myrna to speak to shoppers. You can also catch a glimpse of Rudy Fernandez (formerly of the Antioch City Council) who is a community developer at Seafood City, Concord, CA.

Every week sees a flood of new music arrive in the shops, both online and on the highstreet. Some of it we've been waiting to get our hands on forever, some we've hardly even heard of, and all of it is just waiting to find its way onto our mp3 players and CD racks. But with so much coming out each week it can be hard to keep track of what's new, so we do it for you, presenting 20 of the most significant new releases in one easy-to-listen-to playlist.
Launch the pop-out player below, take a listen, and let us know what you think in the comments at the bottom!
--- August 27th 2012 - Single Releases ---
1. Blood Red Shoes - In Time To Voices
Brighton's boy-girl rock duo release the title track from their third album. The track nearly got discarded as soon as it was written, and it features the first ever guitar solo that the pair have recorded.
2. Bondax - Baby I Got That
Teenage duo Bondax release their debut single Baby I Got That, which is likely to propel them out of Lancastrian bedroom anonymity and onto the big stage. Smooth R&B vibes with updated garage beats. Future-garage/post-dubstep/whatever the hell you want to call it.
3. Dinosaur Jr - Watch The Corners
Kings of the early '90s slacker rock scene, Dinosaur Jr are still capable of churning out bittersweet guitar pop twenty years on, which is exactly what they do with new single Watch The Corners.
4. Feeder - Idaho
Business as usual for Grant Nicholas and crew as Feeder's latest single Idaho combines crunching guitars with singalong pop vocals.
5. Friends - I'm His Girl
Brooklyn's biggest buzz band of recent months re-release the single that first saw their name broadcast across the world back in 2011: I'm His Girl.
6. fun. - Some Nights

7. Labrinth - Treatment
Syco's primary production guru Labrinth turns in yet another polished modern pop hit with Treatment, bound to make Simon Cowell weep with joy as it scales the charts in coming weeks.
8. Race Horses - My Year Abroad
Aberystwyth's Race Horses channel the sound and spirit of New Order, the Pet Shop Boys and The Cure with My Year Abroad, the new single from their forthcoming album Furniture.
9. The Hives - Wait A Minute
Swedish band The Hives demand a moment of your patience with their new single Wait A Minute, a typically angular yet compulsively catchy cut of garage rock.
10. The Shins - It's Only Life
The latest single from The Shins' fourth album Port Of Morrow is indie-pop at its most gentle and wistful. Lighters in the air and hankies at the ready.
11. The View - The Clock
Dundee miscreants The View rein it in a bit on their slower-paced new single The Clock, an uncommonly relflective piece of indie-pop that echoes with Johnny Marr-style guitar.
12. White Rabbits - I'm Not Me
Taken from their third album Milk Famous, I'm Not Me is the jagged new single from American indie boys White Rabbits.
13. Zedd - Spectrum feat Matthew Koma
Electro-producer Zedd offers up a series of big beats, hyperactive toplines and hefty drops as Matthew Koma sings a melancholy refrain over the top on new single Spectrum.
--- August 27th 2012 - Album Releases ---
14. Alanis Morissette - Havoc And Bright Lights
Featured track: Guardian
Canada's first lady of pop-come-alt-rock, Alanis Morissette returns with her eighth album Havoc And Bright Lights, four years after her last outing.
15. Elbow - Dead In The Boot
Featured track: Whisper Grass
Confirmed national treasures Elbow bridge the gap between studio albums with a collection of b-sides and hard-to-find non-album tracks: Dead In The Boot.

Featured track: Little Talks
Chirpy Icelandic indie/folk band release their debut album My Head Is An Animal, peppered with horn sections, accordians and other unusual instruments across the course of their jaunty tunes.
19. Paul Cook & The Chronicles - Volume One
Featured track: Six Places
Paul Cook creates rootsy folk music with tight vocal harmonies, melancholy atmospherics and plenty of acoustic instruments on his debut album Volume One.
20. Wot Gorilla? - Kebnekaise
Featured track: is
Schizophrenic prog-rock/math-pop is the order of the day on Kebnekaise, the debut album from Wot Gorilla?, whose restless sound recalls Vertigo Of Bliss era Biffy Clyro.

Description: Tucker is a boy from the Jersey shore. He's thin, fit, cute, and loves California the land of opportunity. He claims to be bi-sexual, versatile, has a major thing for trannys, Latinas, twinks or anything with a big ass. I'm starting to like this **** more and more. After all, exposing boys on camera is my speciality. Good little Tucker even gave my number to a few of his buddies to get them in front of my camera. I must say it's very refreshing to meet a twenty year old who likes to give an old fashioned rim-job. I found out that Jersey Tucker also like a few more of the finer things in life, including a grown man's fingers in various places, and a big cock down his throat. With a double happy-ending Tucker leaves with a smile on his face and jizz in his hair. I wish more boys were as hungry to please as Tucker is. The world would be a better place, at least mine would be. Until next time.

Hi Guys,
We've just put up our first flash game, Stunt Pilot.
Check it out at Rock Solid Arcade. The site is pretty barren right now, we'll be adding to it shortly.
I'd love to know what you all think!

Fun game. Good luck with it!
Shouldn't up arrow move the plane to up and down arrow key back to down?..
I mean how these keys on PC keyboard are connected to controls of the real plane?..
Just my two cents.
PS Is it OKi if I'll drop a link to our next "awesome Flash creation" here? I was searching for appropriate thread in latest a couple days (don't like to open my own threads ): http://www.flasssh.com/domino/
great game! very nicely done. I bet Jayisgames and similar sites would love this.
I also wanted 'up' to mean up and 'down' to mean down...
I only played thru a few levels, so I haven't seen what new things appear, but if you could have a race against a cpu plane, that would be cool.
Fun little game, the artistic design somehow reminds me of fathammer's stuntplane .. =)
Oh, the musics seem to be taken from Bjorn Lynne's Accelerator album, but he's not credited anywhere - what kind of licensing deal do you have with him?

Always welcome to get review copies.
hehe I love it, Got to about lvl 10 (i think) and could of played all night but i had to eat, so simple but sooooo dam addictive
I had a little trouble with up being down and visa versa and it really makes ya think when your flying upside down.
Smashing little game, well done.
Dunno why everybody's having trouble with the controls - seemed natural to me. The controls were the same in Wings of Fury, Dr Destructo, Jet Strike....
I didn't like the bonus levels though, and tedium was starting to set in by level 20. It killed 10 minutes though.
Nice. Clicked on the wave riders link so you earned a few MochiAds cents - the wave riders game over at CandyStand is pretty good too.
I know the reasoning behind up means pushing down on the control stick but there is still a mental disconnect because most of my time is spent with a desktop metaphor where up means up. Long story short, another vote for the up arrow meaning the plane goes up.
Wow, is that addictive!!!
Very clean and pretty. I'm completely comfortable with the up/down keys. But you might want a main screen check box to allow others to toggle it to suit their taste.
Great work.

Nice game!
Works for me in Firefox. On Linux, even.
I liked it. A lot. I will agree on the controls though, even though I'm personally a hard-core FLIGHT SIM fan. Flight sims are one thing. This is something else.
And I ran under Firefox just fine.

Frayed Knights - a 3D RPG that refuses to take itself seriously.
Thanks for all the great suggestions, guys. We'll be releasing an update in a day or two that includes among other things:
- Better instructions
- Option to reverse the controls (reversed by default)
- Remember high score on main menu
- Continue from within the game
Up-means-up vote from me too. It reminded me of a puzzle game I wrote when I was about 12 where the keys were upsidedown just to annoy people.
Meanwhile you can simply do like the guy sat next to me at work and turn your keyboard upside down!
Really good game, definitely needs the controls reversing but I still keep going back for more anyway!

Buzzard Games
Great game, but I was confused with controls as well - pushed up willing to force play go down. Especially confusing when plane flies upside down. I think you should add smart mouse controls instead - this would be more obvious for everyone.
And I also haven't found online hiscore table which is standard feature for this kind of games.

Love it! Nice simple easy to run high quality web game.
Lives limit drives me nuts! Can't get far enough and don't want to continually replay beginner levels. How about give 3 lives per level and save level # for later replays? Or atleast bonus lives? Web gamers typically play for 5 - 10 minutes at a time and just want a quick fix.
I second what Brian said. I had a great time pushing through the first two dozen levels. But after losing my last life and realizing that I'd have to replay all of them over again I just stopped playing. Also, I'm not sure that I would punish the player with a loss of life on the bonus rounds. Maybe just end the bonus round if the player makes contact with an obstacle.
Great game as is. With these minor tweaks I think it can be even better.

Have you guys played the latest version? We updated it about a day ago, but the old version may well be cached in your browser. It lets you start from within the game, and we have also reversed the controls (with an option to change). You might find that more fun!
nintendo made something like this awhile back, you flew your ultralight airplane through hula hoops like this and barnstorm the beach and there was a segment where you could take out the meca giant using the ultalight equiped with rockets.
now ive tried your game and it brings back those memories, you have a cool game there-good for you
Ferion by far is the best strategy game since 1999. Checkout the forum too. www.ferion.com
Congratulations, Stunt Pilot is great game with very nice and appealing graphics !
In StuntPilot2 i would like to see formation flights with other little planes.
Is the continue feature just added? Just found that and been having a lot more fun since don't have to replay all the beginner levels.
I wonder if you'd be better served to have fewer levels and break into 2 games of 20 - 30 levels each. In Midnight Strike we made a long 20 level game and found hardly anyone finished the game as web players all have attention deficit. Would have been better if 2 10 level games instead thus 2 games out there instead of 1.

Whoa! Talk about a blast to the past. I remember going to the San Antonio zoo as a kid in the 70's and getting a few of the figurines from the Mold-a-rama machine. I think the best part was being able to watch the process as it created these neat souvenirs. Thanks for the memory.

There's a museum in San Francisco at Fisherman's Wharf that has a rather sizable collection of old machines like these. Most of them actually work and are available for visitors to use. If you go, it's right next to the submarine (U.S.S. Pampanito).

HAPPY GAMING!! - said...
The baseball arcade on used to be at the Jersey boardwalk as a kid... sort of nestled behind all the newer video games. I remember loving it as a kid, so detailed and games were pretty realistic.
Also, check out Sigma Derby... it's a coin operated mechanical horse racing game that I think only has one remaining functioning one at the MGM Grand in Vegas. Such a fun, old school game that costs nothing and people actually interact.
Great post. - said...

Blast from the past indeed. Some great arcades here. And great pictures too - where did you find them? I particularly like zoltar! You still see a few of them about. As fun as arcades are, I'm still not sure I would swap my Xbox games for them!

Great post!! I absolutely love vintage arcade machines. I have always wanted a house with a game room full of vintage arcade machines. I never realized how old pinball was. Thanks so much for sharing!

Pinterest says it is testing a new look. (Pinterest / January 28, 2013) |
Pinterest announced Monday that it is testing a new design with a small number of users.
The pinboard-based social network, which exploded onto the scene last year, said its new design makes navigating more intuitive "so it's faster to get to where you want to go."
A screen shot of the latest design shows a new icon on the top left corner of the site's layout with a drop down menu that holds several categories and subcategories.
10 tech companies to watch in 2013
Additionally, Pinterest said pins in the new design are bigger and also show more information.
"For example, on each pin, you'll see pins from the same board, other boards this pin was pinned to, and a whole slew of related pins," the company said in a blog post.
Pinterest said it has also made under-the-hood improvements to the site's speed.
The company said it will expand the new look to more users over the coming weeks. Users interested in checking out the new design can provide Pinterest with their information to get early access.

Hey ADL
Any one know where to get a new rubber/elastic rope/strap for my rollers, it snapped.
What about Rubber Clark, will they have them?
Just thought Id ask before walking into a bicycle shop.
Any one out there buys Torq energy drinks online?
Are they good? Cheaper than Gatorade or Powerade from Supermarkets?
Penco energy drink, 700gm for $19.16
Proab best to stay with Powerade, Gatorade tubs at 500gm for $9 from Woolies.
Yep Bicycle Express. I cant remember off hand, under $20 I reckon though.
For the belt, try Adelaide Belt and Hose, Scotland Rd Mile End South. Meaure the length of the belt required (if it is not printed on it), and take the broken one with you. They should be able to look through their stock or order one for you.
Thanks, I work in Hilton, so Mile End isnt far.
Ill check it out.

Hey, folks. A question for everyone, but I'm mainly interested in the response of the married guys/gals. How many bottles do you typically keep on hand? I'm about to head down the long road to ruin myself, so I'm curious as to what you all have convinced your significant others to let you keep around. At my current place I tend to keep a lower-end bottle (usually OWA or WT101), a mid-ranger (Rare Breed, OFBB, or Woodford) and a higher-end (right now it's EHT Tornado Survivor, but I've also kept Kentucky Spirit, "Michter's" 10 and others at various points). I like this approach because it allows me to have a great bourbon from time to time but I can usually keep around a mid-range bottle for regular pours and a lower-end for when I'm smoking some sticks (I prefer not to bother drinking a mid- or high-end bourbon when I can hardly taste anything other than the cigar). Just curious, since it seems some of you keep a fair amount of bottles around.
Also, I enjoy gin cocktails (martinis and Aviations) and some higher-end islay Scotches. So keep that in mind, since we have pretty limited cabinet space.

The Thomas Crown Affair
Screenplay : Peter Doyle and Leslie Dixon & Kurt Wimmer (based on the 1968 by Alan R. Trustman)
MPAA Rating : R
Year of Release : 1999
Stars : : Pierce Brosnan (Thomas Crown), Rene Russo (Catherine Banning), Denis Leary (Michael McCann)
It's funny how the more things change, the more they stay the same.
Take John McTiernan's remake of Norman Jewison's 1968 sexy crime thriller "The Thomas Crown Affair." When the original came out, film critic Pauline Kael described it as being like "lying in the sun flicking through fashion magazines and (as used to be said) feeling rich and beautiful beyond your wildest dreams." In 1999, the stars are different, the plot has been modified, and the setting has changed from Boston to New York, but that fundamental essence of style controlling the movie still holds true.
Although the real subjects are sex and high-price fashion, the movie is ostensibly about the title character, Thomas Crown (Pierce Brosnan), an inordinately wealthy and powerful businessman who, out of boredom, turns to a life of crime. His crime is quite fitting to his station in life: He orchestrates a daring heist the involves snatching a $100-million Monet painting out of a New York museum in broad daylight while the museum is filled with patrons and guards. It's a gutsy, audacious move that is never about the money. Crown doesn't need dollars; he needs excitement. He needs a new challenge.
However, a new and altogether unexpected challenge arrives in the form of Catherine Banning (Rene Russo), an insurance investigator/bounty hunter who represents the "Swiss gentlemen" who have monetary interest in the stolen painting. Being an old pro, Catherine immediately zooms in on Crown as the culprit, and proceeds to work her way into his life so she can get the painting back. This is much to the chagrin of Michael McCann (Denis Leary), the police investigator who tries to pursue the case according to rules and procedures. Catherine's idea of a legal search is swiping Crown's house keys while they're on a date, and having copies made so she can break in the next day.
Once the logistics of the crime and its investigation are set up, the movie turns into a steamy romance between Crown and Catherine. She knows he did it. He knows she knows he did it. Yet, they engage in a game of cat-and-mouse, toying with each other's affections while pursuing other goals. The trick is, of course, that they really do fall in love with each other, but it's almost impossible for them to prove that they are actually in love, and not just playing the game to win.
Like the 1968 original, "The Thomas Crown Affair" is really an exercise in sexual chemistry and fashion. While Brosnan and Russo are both extremely attractive and capable actors, they still do not generate quite the same screen heat as Steve McQueen and Faye Dunaway did in the original. Director John McTiernan ("Die Hard") does everything he can to turn Brosnan and Russo into larger-than-life sex symbols (which isn't much of a task), and this includes a sultry Latin dance number with Russo in a see-through dress and a lovemaking session that takes them from the floor to the stairs to the top of Crown's desk.
In terms of fashion, whenever the actors aren't naked, they're decked out in only the most expensive, high-fashion apparel. Costume designed Kate Harrington, who used to work as a photo and fashion editor at "Vanity Fair," makes sure that Brosnan and Russo look like they just walked out of a magazine spread.
Unfortunately, "The Thomas Crown Affair" is fun to watch without being particularly memorable or distinguished. Everything about the production is top-notch, and you can sense what the filmmakers are trying to get at, yet they never quite get there. Perhaps Brosnan is a little too stiff in a complicated role that demands a wide range of emotion, from cool resilience to emotional pleading; perhaps it is because McTiernan is better at staging vast action sequences than intimate moments. Whatever it is, "The Thomas Crown Affair" is good, but it's not an affair to remember.

The act of a girl with the name of Laurence transforming a bad/average day/night around into a great day/night. Ways in which your day can be Laurencized include:
1. A smile that can turn a horrible day into a great day. 2. A laugh that makes you laugh and forget about everything else. 3. Eyes that make you believe in everything you never believed in. "to Laurence" : Wow dude, I lost my skateboard and my mum didn't let me go out with my friends but then I hung-out with my girl and my day got completeley Laurencized
