Well with all these reviews, not sure what I can add that hasn't been said. It is hard to find fault with this tool box. Especially if you consider the price. Mine was perfect out of the box. They pack these things well. Took me an hour or so to put the handles and the wheels on, but I was in no hurry.I greased the slides well with lithium spray grease and have no issue with how they work. Some griped about no roller bearings, but really, I wouldn't want them flying out at me. The slides are just fine.It is a nice touch that there are rubber drawer liners pre-installed.It is a shame that you need 3 diff keys, one for each box, but I don't intend to ever lock it. Speaking of keys, you get four of each.The center top drawer does not lock, but that makes for a good place to stash keys if you want. That way nobody can just get into the box, but few will guess that drawer doesn't lock, so you don't need to carry the keys with you if you don't want.Box seems plenty sturdy, everything is solid. Somebody said to put a piece of plywood on the bottom, but I see no point in it. Those guys must be storing iron bars in them.Some didn't like the wheels, but I don't expect to be moving it much, so not really concerned. All I can say is they are more plastic-like than rubbery.Bottom box locks using a steel bar with a bend on the end. Doesn't say so anywhere, but I noticed on the left front there is a slot just the right size to store the locking bar. Pretty cool idea.The holes in the drawer fronts for the handles have one oval one which is pretty smart. Means if handles are off a hair you don't have to hog out the mounting holes.Even though pretty happy with this purchase, it could be a little better. The drawers are kind of shallow, so you have to use the deeper ones wisely. It would have been nice if there were drawers all the way to the bottom. The bottom "cubbyhole" is pretty spacious and it is no trouble finding stuff to put in there, but I'd have rather paid a little more and got 3 or 4 deep drawers.I'm using the 3 piece Socket racks: http://www.harborfreight.com/3-pc-sae-socket-trayorganizer-68100.html and also the metric ones and and luckily I don't use 1/2" sockets much, because it would be tough to get the deep sockets in the box. If you need to store these, you'll have to use the deepest drawer or the top. I just tossed the few I have in a bin since I seldom need them.Also using this rack for wrenches and the metric one: http://www.harborfreight.com/professional-14-wrench-holder-4800.html Wastes a bit of space, but fits in a few diff drawers.These drawer organizers also fit the box well: http://www.harborfreight.com/6-compartment-drawer-organizer-99729.htmlhttp://www.harborfreight.com/3-piece-drawer-organizer-set-99731.htmlEnded up cutting some of them in half to use the space better, but they are quite sturdy and splitting them where needed didn't seem to weaken them any.One thing that surprised me was that the wheels don't attach with nuts. You just run the screws up into the bottom of the box. They did get tight though and seems adequate. I had considered using nuts and bolts, but this will probably be fine. If you are going to move yours around a lot over uneven surfaces you might want to use bolts though.

I spent my evening returning my xmas present which was this tool box set. 2 of 3 were slightly damaged. (scratched paint) right out of the box with an oil (??) stain.had to be a fluke right? I went to the store and watched with amazment as box after box that they opened in front of me was damaged as the employee opened them. He wasn't surpised. I decided to just upgrade to a different tool box.I got that one home...and guess what? Smashed in cornor. If your gonna buy one and expect "new" to mean "new" ask to see it opened before you take it home.I love this store. I'm not a hater, this is my first and worst bad experince. The staff treated me great.Good luck

Been needing one of these for quite a long time, but was always on the lookout for QUALITY at the lowest price.Saw the coupon, had to get it.Picked it up at the store yesterday, easily put it together yesterday, all my tools are in it now, instead of scattered all over the place.The quality of this is outstanding, and you're not going to beat the price. Look for the coupons.

See all my reviews
Packed very well and easy to assemble. Fit my 300+ pieces socket set in trays easily with more drawers to spare. While not tradesman quality, it is perfect for the garage and occasional use. No problems with stability or the wheels supporting all of the weight. My only complaint is that you have to open the lid to free all of the drawers except the top center one in the top toolbox. I'll likely remove the locking bars at the rear of the drawers attached to the hinges for my convenience. I also removed the locking tabs from all three locks so I don't have to mess with keys. The black crinkle finish is perfect and hides fingerprints.

Very good tool chest for home or light commercial use
By Brian H.
from Seattle
This rolling tool chest compares to those at the big stores that are over $300 and is better quality than a "red"one I paid $400 for many years ago. Quick and easy to assemble. I pulled them out of the boxes when I got it home, then the next day I put it together in less than 20 minutes (just handles and wheels). It is built better than my "red" one. Heavier gauge steel, metal handles (not plastic), and rolled edges for increased strength. The textured paint will look good for a long time, unlike my "red" one. The wheels are better quality as well. What I like most is the drawers open all the way, not 2/3 like the "red" one. I hate having to empty a drawer to get to that screw I dropped that went to the back of the drawer! Not a problem with this one. The included drawer liners are nice thick pads, not the cheap bumpy stuff that deteriorates and crumbles over time. The drawers slide better loaded up than empty, which means to me the glides are well made. If you're looking at the "yellow" one that is $125-$140 at a big store or online, spend the extra money and get this US General. Tons of complaints about dents and drawer issues in the yellow one - check reviews for yourself. This chest is a great value for your money. If I still made a living turning wrenches, I'd have no problem sticking this chest in the shop and expecting years of service. And I would spend the money I saved by not handing my check over to that tool truck on other toys!

Election Genius Nate Silver Predicts The Oscars
By Katey Rich 2013-02-22 09:11:57 comments
Ever since Nate Silver took over the world in 2008 with his statistics-heavy, terrifyingly accurate model for predicting the Presidential election, movie types have been half-joking to themselves "Nate Silver should start predicting the Oscars!" Of course, anyone who understands either statistics or the rat's nest of Oscar campaigning understands it's not nearly that easy. Silver's election predictions rely on a ton of data from polls conducted almost daily, while those of us foolish enough to predict the Oscars rely on an alchemy of critic's awards, guild awards, campaigns, budget, "buzz" and whatever Harvey Weinstein is trying to secretly attack.
And yet, there's still a part of all of us that likes to think Nate Silver knows everything-- see the "#drunknatesilver" hashtag on twitter for all the evidence you need-- and like any good nerdy demigod, Silver has complied. Over at Five Thirty Eight you can read his customarily detailed prediction, full of statistical analysis and plenty of admissions that the Oscars are not nearly as straightforward as elections. He comes across some interesting tidbits that are usually limited only to Oscar obsessives, though. Did you know that the Directors Guild award winner is the most likely predictor of Best Picture? (One of the many reasons most are predicting Argo to take the top prize). Or that the Golden Globe winner of Best Drama is a better indicator of an Oscar win than any single critic's group?
For what it's worth Silver is predicting wins for Argo (Picture), Steven Spielberg (Director), Daniel Day-Lewis (Actor), Jennifer Lawrence (Actress), Tommy Lee Jones (Supporting Actor) and Anne Hathaway (Supporting Actress). With the exception of Jones, that lines up perfectly with my own predictions. See! You can trust me after all. Nate Silver is on my side.

Summary:Behind Alfred Hitchcock - the extraordinary film icon known for orchestrating some of the most intense cinematic experiences of menace and intrigue audiences have ever seen - was a hidden side that included a creatively explosive romance with his steadfast wife and filmmaking collaborator, Alma Reville. Their captivating and complex love story is shown through the sly, shadowy lens of their most daring filmmaking adventure: the making of the spine-tingling 1960 thriller "Psycho," which would become the director's most controversial film. When the tumultuous, against-the-odds production was over, nothing about movies would ever be the same - but few realized that it took two to pull it off. ... Full Summary >>

The Red Raiders continue to make history, making their first ever trip to Omaha and they used pitching and defense to get it done in a pair of 1-0 shutouts against College of Charleston.
It's hard to pitch much better than scattering 10 hits over two days and not allowing a single run. As good as the pitching was, the fielding was outstanding as well. Maybe the play of the year was made by senior center fielder Devon Conley laying out full extension to rob College of Charleston of an RBI, One of the biggest plays in program history.

This Friday sees the release of James Ponsoldt's "Smashed" follow-up, the tenderly drawn coming-of-age teen story "The Spectacular Now." Boasting standout performances from young leads Miles Teller and Shailene Woodley, the film, which we reviewed out of Sundance and called "valuable and honest," evokes the growing pains of the unusually real-feeling central duo via a familiar conduit—the story of their first love. Romantics that we are at heart, we took this opportunity to sit on our sofas for a week with a bucket of ice cream and a pack of Kleenex, revisiting a slew of films that share that theme. Given the breadth of the field, we've done our best to concentrate on films that take first love as their primary theme, but it should be noted that it crops up as a subplot with astonishing frequency, too.
Aside from finally giving more than one Playlister an excuse to watch "The Notebook," first love stories provide a neat complement to First Time movies, which we ran through last week following the release of "The To Do List." And while we basically avoided instances of crossover, it is telling to note how few real crossovers there are: usually it's pretty clear, even if circumstances are similar, whether a film is going for the heart or for the groin. If the latter is often broader and more comedic, the story of a first love lends itself to the more dramatic end of the spectrum—even the comedies we list out here tend to be of the bittersweet variety. But again, it's a near-universal situation, from the blush and awkwardness and "no one's ever felt this way ever!" of first infatuation, through the sometimes painful process of discovering if there's any hope of reciprocation, and, more often than not, to the relationship's end. Because while some films here may try to convince us otherwise, "first love" rather implies that there's a second, and maybe a third... James Garner claims in "Murphy's Romance" to be "in love for the last time in my life," but if last love is really the one we should all be aiming for, first love, often tinged with nostalgia for younger, more innocent times, is the one that exerts the real pull on our cinematic imaginations.
"Like Crazy" (2011)
One of the better romantic movies from the last few years, "Like Crazy" is a thoroughly modern and wholly indispensable ode to first love and the oversized pains that we endure for it. When young Jacob (Anton Yelchin) falls in love with Anna (Felicity Jones), it feels like they will be together forever, but she eventually lets her visa lapse and is denied entry back into the country. Thus begins an agonizing relationship where they try desperately to reconnect, with almost everything getting in their way. Director Drake Doremus based "Like Crazy" on his relationship with his now ex-wife (who was Austrian), and there's a relatability to the movie that goes beyond that specific instance, amplified by the verite way that Doremus shoots, stealing many of the shots without permission and editing the movie in the style of the movie's central relationship, with days blurring together and then, all of a sudden, becoming painfully protracted. Most amazing is the movie's final shot, which we won't ruin here, but is just as emotionally devastating and singularly powerful as anything in Richard Linklater's 'Before' series. Most first loves don't have happy endings, and "Like Crazy" is no exception. Like a first love, it stays with you, long after it's over.
"Antoine & Colette"
Along with the "7 Up" series, and more recently Richard Linklater's 'Before' series, François Truffaut's Antoine Doinel series is one of the great cinematic portraits of growing up and the passage of time—five films, over twenty years, tracking Jean-Pierre Leaud's title character from 12-year-old juvenile delinquent in "The 400 Blows" to thirty-something divorcé in "Love On The Run." "Antoine & Collette" is probably the least substantial of the series—a half-hour short made as part of the "Love At Twenty" anthology (which also features contributions from Marcel Ophuls and Andrzej Wajda, among others)—but as the film that kickstarts Antoine's love life, it's an undeniably crucial entry. The film sees Doinel living alone and making a living by making LPs, when he's drawn to the young Colette (Marie-France Pisier). He befriends her and is accepted into her family, having long since been estranged from his own, but his feelings are never returned, and he's left by the film's end watching her leave in the arms of her older boyfriend. Based on an infatuation that Truffaut himself went through at 17, it's lighter in tone than 'Blows'—its form allowing a slightness that proves somewhat freeing for the director and setting the tone for the future Doinel pictures. As with many first loves, it comes back to haunt as well; Colette returns, again played by Pisier, in the final Doinel picture "Love On The Run."
"Goodbye First Love" (2011)
An intensely autobiographical piece of work from one of France's brightest young talents, the appropriately-named Mia Hansen-Løve, "Goodbye First Love" is a gorgeous-looking, sensual piece of work that, while it's occasionally let down by the somewhat blank nature of its leads, still has a deep vein of feeling running through it. It begins in 1999, with the teenage Camille (Lola Creton, who became a serious breakout off the back of this) head-over-heels for the older Sullivan (Sebastian Urzendowsky). They have a blissful holiday together in the Loire Valley, but he goes away traveling, and his letters dry up, leaving Camille distraught and suicidal in a way that only the end of first love can do. Over a decade later, she's seemingly over it, in a relationship with her professor, but when she meets Sullivan again, her life's turned upside down. Hansen-Løve's thesis is that you never really get over the first person you fall for, and in a way, the blank-slate nature of the characters helps you identify with them, but it also makes it tricky to become particularly invested in the pair—they don't share a great deal of chemistry and it's hard to see what Camille sees in Sullivan particularly. Still, Hansen-Løve directs beautifully, and only a statue wouldn't feel a sting of recognition somewhere in here.
"My Girl" (1991)
Friendships between boys and girls were always met with scorn in elementary school. A boy couldn't be your friend without being your boyfriend (literally one of the most mortifying insults that could be hurled). "My Girl" taught girls that it's more than acceptable to be friends with boys, and that sometimes they can be the best friends you'll ever have. Vada Sultenfuss (Anna Chlumsky, who will forever be associated with the coolest name in movie history) grows up in the 1960s with a father who runs a funeral parlor and without a mother, who died during her birth. The only reliable influence in Vada's life is her neurotic best friend, Thomas J (Macaulay Culkin). The two navigate the morass of life and death, and throughout the film, Thomas J understands Vada and never judges her quirks; she's a hypochondriac who visits the doctor daily. The two aren't in love, and aside from a quick experimental kiss, they never talk about being in love with each other. No, Vada's first love is her elementary school teacher (played adorably by Griffin Dunne who gave this writer unrealistic expectations about men for decades), but by the end, even Vada realizes what puppy love feels like. Since the movie is told through Vada's eyes, we never learn whether Thomas J loves Vada; we have to judge him by his actions, and the fact he would do anything for her only makes the climax all the more heartbreaking (I won't spoil it for you here, but it's fairly traumatizing). "My Girl" taught young girls that love comes in all forms, whether romantic or platonic, and that ultimately the love of a best friend is the strongest bond of all.
"Summer Of 42" (1971)
As you might notice from this list, summer and adolescent affairs are intrinsically tied together. After all, most of us have our first stomach-churning lurches of love and tiny tastes of heartbreak in those long warm months where school's out and the world's our oyster (she was Irish and her name was Daisy, in case you were wondering...). One of the more seminal cinematic examples of this is "Summer Of 42," a phenomenon in its time (released in the wake of "Love Story," it was a huge hit, and its novelization was one of the best-selling books of the 1970s, strangely enough), which has been a touch forgotten by subsequent generations. Based on the real-life experiences of "The Great Santini" screenwriter Herman Mauch, it's set in, you guessed it, 1942, when 15-year-old Hermie (Gary Grimes) is spending the summer in Nantucket. One day, he's struck by a beautiful young bride, Dorothy (Jennifer O'Neill), whose husband has just gone off to war, and becomes infatuated with her while his friends muck around with the local girls. It might not seem like he has much of a chance at first, but tragedy has a way of bringing them together. It's admirably low-key stuff, with a deep vein of authenticity and restrained direction from Robert Mulligan ("To Kill A Mockingbird"), who's somewhat of an overlooked humanist among directors of the period. Truffaut and Kubrick were both fans (the latter features a clip from the film in "The Shining"), so if it's passed you by before now, it's well worth checking out.

I was looking for a nice bag for my 2013 Ultra. I needed something that was convenient to put my regular glasses, phone and keys in since my lowers are filled with speakers. I have a GPS mounted on the faring and I did not want a 2 bag on the windshield that looks like someone cut a bag off a 3 bag system. I like the look of the bag, since it was similar to a bag I had on my Road King Classic.
I ordered this bag prior to a 15 day trip out west. I received it quickly using regular shipping. Was very easy to install, but be careful. The fasteners still strip easily.
The bag is high grade. Not the cheap leather Harley uses. It is a little stiff which shows that the leather is thick. It easily holds the phone, glass case and keys. I turn the phone glass to the leather on the bag to keep it from getting scratched. It is low enough to keep out of my line of vision, yet big enough to do the job. During a good down pour in South Dakota, my items were both dry and protected. I cannot say the same for others in my group who had similar bags but not from Fox Creek Leather
I would recommend to all my bagger friends, this bag is better than most, priced better, and of the best quality I've had the privilege to place on my bike. 2013** and down baggers should feel good about this investment.
**Note to new 2014 and later HD Rushmore baggers: The mounting of this bag will not be typical for your bikes. It is designed to look best in the center of the windshield. However, this bag will have trouble mounting in that position due to the air vent. I do not know if Fox Creek Leather has a work around for you, but call customer service and ask, the were very helpful with all of my questions. I'm sure you will not be the first to ask.

12 Vaccines Your Child Needs
A parent's guide to childhood vaccinations
Children get as many as 25 shots and boosters in the first 15 months of life alone. When you combine the sheer number of vaccines with an alphabet-soup-like jumble of acronyms it's hard to keep track of what a youngster is getting—and why.
Here's a rundown of 12 vaccines that help protect against potentially life-threatening germs. Most are required for school attendance, while some are not. (Legal requirements can vary from state to state.)

I have this regex which is supposed to remove sentence delimiters(
. and
sentence = sentence.replaceAll("\\.|\\?$","");
It works fine it converts
"I am Java developer." to
"I am Java developer"
"Am I a Java developer?" to
"Am I a Java developer"
But after deployment we found that it also replaces any other dots in the sentence as
"Hi.Am I a Java developer?" becomes
"HiAm I a Java developer"
Why is this happening?

Bankruptcy Law
Bankruptcy Law Questions? Ask a Bankruptcy Lawyer Now.
First, if you have an attorney representing you in the bankruptcy do not do anything but give him the package and go from there. If you are not represented then you have to decide if you want to continue with the bankruptcy, and the reasons behind the bankruptcy. If you are 3 months behind on your mortgage, you are not going to be able to keep your home in a Chapter 7. In order to reaffirm the home you must be current on the payments, otherwise you surrender the house, or they proceed with mortgage foreclosure.
If your primary goal is to keep the home and you have no other issues with regard to debt you may want to consider dimissing the Chapter 7 and accepting the new loan modification package. They will not foreclose if you accept their package, but make sure of that and get it in writing.
I am curious how you would receive a Motion to Lift Stay the same day you filed bankruptcy, they wouldn't have had time to issue that Motion I wouldn't think. However, this is a standard motion because a Chapter 7 only delays the inevitable, it does not stop a foreclosure, it merely puts a stay in place. The mortgage company always motions for a lift and its almost always granted since the debtor is behind on payments.
If you accept the loan modification plan you will have to make sure that they will accept a reaffirmation if you continue with the bankruptcy and you will have to amend your petition to show the reaffirmation, and new loan payments. This way you may be able to proceed with the bankruptcy and keep your home out of it. If you do not have an attorney helping you it may be very wise to seek a consultation on this matter with one in your local area.
If your goal is to keep your home, you either want to file a Chapter 7 with a reaffirmation, and get your payments current or file a Chapter 13.
Yes, if you amend your petition and file a reaffirmation and you get caught up on your payments the mortgage company may allow the reaffirmation.

William Armstrong to C.A. Harris — April 3 1837
Choctaw Agency
April 3rd 1837
C.A. Harris Esqr
Cmmr Ind Affairs
A few days since a party of emigrating Cherokees conducted by Mr. I.C. Young, (446 in number), arrived by water at Fort Coffee. The boat could go but little higher up the river; and as there was a good road from Coffee into the Cherokee country, I advised Mr. Young to land his party opposite that Post, on the Cherokee side, which he done. I also requested him to leave a correct muster roll of the party, distinguishing particularly those who had received their commutation of subsistence for a year, from those who had not, in order that there could be no mistake about paying, or subsisting those who had not been paid. Lt. Van Horn the Disbursing Agent for the Cherokees was up at Gibson. I wrote for him to come down, in the meantime before his arrival, I received from Mr. Young, the rolls, and also a small quantity of flour & bacon, which he had left after he landed the party, which I receipted to him for; and will turn over to Mr. Van Horn & take his receipt. Mr. Van Horn came down yesterday and I advised him to pay the emigrants that preferred it, their commutation of subsistence; and thereby enable them to go to work and endeavor yet to put in a crop of corn. Mr. Van Horn is now engaged in paying them off, as they prefer money; after which they will scatter through the nation amongst their friends and yet be able, I hope, to plant corn. The payment of the years' subsistence before the emigrants reach their new country as is the case with the majority of this party, is certainly wrong, they will lay it out by the way and arrive destitute of the means of support. Conductors of parties should remain in the Indian Country until they and the disbursing agent get together and set understandingly the roll furnished by Mr. Young, I presume to be correct, and the party arrived in good order and well satisfied, but it is generally the case, that those who bring on emigrants, as soon as they reach their country, wish to leave them without a proper interview with those who are to receive them here, as there is considerable emigration from the Cherokees. I have deemed it proper to make the above remarks.

The new morality of the 1920;s glorified personal freedom. In the early 1920's, the Ku Klux Klan added to its membership by hiring professional promoters. Many people viewed Sacco and Vanzetti with suspicion because they were Italian immigrants and anarchist. The McNary-Haugen Bill called for the government to buy American crop surpluses and sell them abroad. Commercial radio began its rise in November 1920, with news about the presidential election. Henry Ford's system for making cars increased effeciency by dividing operations into simple tasks. Coolidge believed part of his job as president was to make sure the government interfered with business and industry as little as possible. Warren G. Harding won the presidency by appealing to Americans' desire to return to lilfe as it was before the war. The U. S. Government set a trend for restricting immigration in the early 1900's. Only 3 percent of any ethnic grou's current population could be admitted each year after the passage of the Emergency Quota Act. The flowering of African American arts in the 1920's became known as the Harlem Renaissance. John t. Scopes was put on trilal for teaching evolution. After entrepreneurs such as Glenn curtis started building practical aircraft, the federal government begin to support the airline industry. In the Teapot dome scandal, Albert B. Fall recieved bribes for allowing private interest to lease lands containing U. S. Naval oil reserves. The Ohio Gange was a group of Harding's friends. According to New York's Grenwich Village to be noticed, one would have to shoot someone else. In an advertising campaign, Ford spent 2 cents per car. One of the NAACP's greatest political triumphs occurred in 1930 with the defeat of an allegedly racist judge nominated for the Supreme Court. The NAACP's lobbying efforts influenced the House of Representatives to pass, in 1932, anti-lybnching legislation. The Cotton Club was a Harlem nightspot where many Affrican American entertainers got their start. The golden age of Holloywood began in 1927 with the release of the first "talking" motion picture. The purpose of the Vplstead Act was to enforce Prohibition. After World War I, most Americans wanted to avoid future wars by avoiding involvement in foreign affairs.

ACCCPosted: September 18, 2014 Filed under: Uncategorized Leave a comment
I will be at Alamo City Comic Con this year, and on Saturday, I believe I will be on a panel discussing 31, The movie, and a as of yet unannounced project.
I will post pics from the show.
Don't forgot to check out my first Novella, "Yellow Rose" on the Amazon Kindle.
Work, Work, Work, Work….Posted: March 18, 2014 Filed under: Uncategorized Leave a comment
Man content creation is fun. It's also long and tedious. I like to have things ready to go for a while.
In other news, I'm hard at work on the second issue of Nathan Tracker and am almost done with it. I will then finish issue three of 31, and then go back to work on NT.
I'm trying to wrap my head around certain aspects of Wormholes.
In the mean time Check out my youtube channel. I'm trying to create a new form of revenue to pay for the comics I want to make.
Also, the movie is going well. They're working out the deal with the writer. I'm sure they'll let me know when I can say who….
What's Been Going On….Posted: March 11, 2014 Filed under: Uncategorized Leave a comment
So After ACCC, I kind of took a small break from comics. While I have been working diligently behind the scenes on getting 31 and Nathan Tracker sorted out, very little progress on actual scripting.
I have hit a road block on Elijah. I will revisit it over the coming year. I've settled on the story for the first season. I'm working on the pilot script.
I've also signed with a new upstart publisher, and I have a phone conference later on today with a potential screenwriter for the 31 movie and the production company. Can't say who it is, but I hope it goes well.
In the mean time, check out my review of a Doctor Who item on my youtube page.
ACCCPosted: November 8, 2013 Filed under: Uncategorized Leave a comment
ACCC was a blast, and a lot of good things are coming out of it. I can't wait to share some of the stuff.
Thanks to Freddy Lopez, and Chris Holm for a great time!
Keep on the look out for two new title announcements!
It's been awhilePosted: August 5, 2013 Filed under: Uncategorized Leave a comment
Hello all! I haven't forgotten you!
First off I had a career change and am now running the theater I used to work part time at. I'm in the process of closing it down for it's remodeling and moving to another theater where I'll be cooking up goodies for the people of San Antonio.
Secondly, Orlando Baez will not be on 31. He is being replaced by Chris Peterson. The new logo will be posted here. 31 will be published by Strick 9 Comics. We're hoping for a preview issue at NYCC this year…. We'll see…. ALso there's been some pitch meetings in LA on the adaption.
I left Edwin and the Orbs. I did so with a heavy heart, and best wishes to them. Stay tuned because as soon as I know about a launch date, I'll post it here. It's a fantastic story, and I wouldn't trade the time I spent on it for the world.
I might be at Alamo City Comic Con… Stay tuned.
Look at Phil Lollar's new audio drama "Iliad House". It's great. Help support it.
New Studio.Posted: December 4, 2012 Filed under: Uncategorized Leave a comment
It's not a publisher, but a group of people in Texas who are liked minded in comics creation. I've been talking to local artists and writers.
It's a studio of like minded people who want to produce great comics, some of these comics will be put out on their own and hopefully draw attention to other people in the group as well because the studio will push the titles.
Novella DonePosted: November 29, 2012 Filed under: Uncategorized Leave a comment
Started work on a second one. Did a short story. Tine to get back to work on Edwin and the Orbs, and some comic stuff. Getting pitched ready.

On a breakfast kick lately, and after asking on facebook and twitter the other day about biscuits and gravy, a large number of you guys mentioned Zest and I have always wanted to go for full-on breakfast, so we packed up the kids and prepared for a wait. It was a Saturday and I expected a long wait, but it wasn't too bad at all. They were very busy, with lots of large parties, but the service was pretty efficient considering.
I ordered the Fletcher's Biscuit sandwich (as did my son) ($4.95). I had mine with bacon and avocado, he had his with sausage. They do a really great job with this—you get a huge fluffy biscuit stuffed with a ton of scrambled eggs, cheese, and your choice of meat. The scrambled eggs were nice and moist—just as they should be, and they give you enough of them that they kind of tumble off the biscuit and practically make another order of scrambled eggs. The bacon is from Smoking Goose and was great. I had a side of cowboy potatoes ($2.95) as well. These things are rich and decedent and delicious. They are diced potatoes, with a seasoning mix, cheese and what I am guessing is a fair amount of sour cream, giving them that slightly tangy flavor—and making the sauce fairly smooth.
Hubby ordered a half order of the biscuits and gravy ($5.95). It is interesting looking because it has an almost pink, or maybe orange tint to the gravy, which I'm guessing comes from the "secret mix of spices" that are listed on the menu (and I am guessing are some of the same seasonings used in the cowboy potatoes). The menu also says they use Goose sausage, but unfortunately, the hunks of sausage were pretty dried out (same was true in my son's biscuit sandwich). The biscuits were light and fluffy and the gravy looked very appealing, but for all the "secret spices" I didn't really think there was a lot of kick (or even flavor) to it. You certainly get a lot of food here though, even with just a half order.
My daughter had one of Zest's other signature items—the Crème Brûlée French Toast ($5.95 for half order). OK, if I thought the cowboy potatoes were decadent, man, this dish is crazy. It is seriously like eating an exceptionally moist cake that has been turned into French toast. Lots of vanilla flavor, plus maple syrup drizzled on top and a side of bacon. I have a hard time eating things that are purely sweet for a meal, and couldn't eat more than a bite or two, but I can see how this could be a favorite of people who do.
I have eaten a fair amount of meals at Zest, and most have been pretty good. Prepare yourself to a good amount of very rich food here that's for sure—not the place to go if you're watching your diet or anything. My personal opinion is that they excel the most at breakfast.

she rememberes the little things first.
her favorite color is purple
she likes blueberry pancakes,
and leaves pennies face-up on random street corners.
even with these pieces, it feels like
a huge chunk has been torn away that she could never retrieve
there are scars on her person
she does not remember getting.
her body is a map of memories
she does not know how to read.
they say she used to be calm and collected,
but now she is hot and fiery,
and they don't know her anymore.
but that's okay, because she doesn't know herself.
she misses the sun,
and the bad school coffee and English projects
and her own bed
and the person she was before.
even though she can't remember, she misses.
when they tell her what happened,
car crash. one dead, one survived.
internal bleeding. damage to the brain.
amnesia. amnesia. amnesia.
and she doesn't remember but she flashes between images
like loose strings that she can't help pulling.
a hand to hold. a quick smile. a skipped school.
a boy. a kiss. a Christmas. the thread that ties it all together
is white hot pain from every side.
the doctors say that she might not ever remember.
that night she mourns a boy she doesn't but did know
and a girl she doesn't see but still is.
she starts smoking. she tells her parents it's to relieve stress.
but really, she just wants to know what's
killing her.
she still sometimes gets new old memories,
but she's okay with that. she's been able to
distinguish between past and present
and were and are for a long time now.
she still doesn't know, though,
which she is.
i think she's happier now, though.
A beautiful piece. Amazing job.
It feels like she's real... So beautiful and well written, I haven't seen poems this good except in books all officially published and to be studied and usually I hate them but it would be a joy to study this.
THIS is one of the most beautiful things I have ever read...thank you so much. You have real talent. This was amazing, simply amazing!
I like the way this went, and it made me feel a lot of things, and I'm just really glad I got to read this, so thank you for writing/sharing.

LONDON (ShareCast) - - Earnings reports push stocks higher
- Eurozone economic activity declines
- French President insists Eurozone defends currency
Dax (Xetra: ^GDAXI - news) -30: 0.38%
Cac-40: 1.10%
FTSE Mibtel 30: 1.12%
Ibex 35: 2.40%
Stoxx 600: 0.49%
European equities recovered Tuesday after a sharp fall a day earlier as a stack of earnings reports beat market estimates.
ARM Holdings (LSE: ARM.L - news) was among the big hitters to post strong trading results during the day. Shares in the British chip designer rose 4.65% after it reported a 16% jump in profits before tax and a 19% increase in revenues for the last three months of 2012.
Oil and gas heavyweight BP (LSE: BP.L - news) also exceeded forecasts by analysts in its earnings for the fourth quarter. Earnings adjusted for one-off items and changes in inventory came to $4bn, more than the $3.7bn average estimate. Shares in the UK group climbed 1.68% to 469.80p.
Munich Re jumped 2.51% after the German reinsurance firm said it will increase its dividend for 2012 to €7.0 a share from €6.25 and reported a preliminary net income of €480m, exceeding the €448.3m market estimate.
The results come as the latest data by Markit revealed a deterioration in Eurozone economic activity in January. Even though activity in both the Eurozone's manufacturing and service sectors declined at the slowest rates since last March, the data still came in below the 50 mark which implies a contraction.
The combined final Eurozone composite output index moved up to 48.6, from the initial reading of 48.2 and December's level of 47.2.
Markit chief economist Chris Williamson said "the Eurozone is showing clear signs of healing" but the growth was "heavily skewed" towards Germany.
France experienced the steepest fall as companies in the country noted the biggest downturn for nearly four years with output falling at a much faster rate than in both Spain and Italy.
French President insists Europe defend currency
French President Francois Hollande stressed that the Eurozone should defend an exchange rate policy that protects the single currency from irrational price swings.
"Europe [...] is leaving the euro vulnerable to irrational movements in one direction or the other," Hollande said.
"A monetary zone must have an exchange rate policy or else it ends up subjected to an exchange rate that does not match the true state of its economy."
Economists worry a strong euro in relation to other countries would hurt demand as it makes exports too expensive for Eurozone members.
Euro/dollar edges up
The euro/dollar was up 0.55% to the 1.3588 dollar mark.
Front month Brent crude futures rose by 0.968 dollars to the 116.730 dollar level on the ICE.

Neil's made some suggestions, but I want to offer a couple of hints too, as some of the uploads are a little 'dull' easy to remedy, back laters
- Forums
- General Discussion
- Balancing Pics
Balancing Pics
Ref: Balancing pics
I'm not going to go Full Monty here, in case we have a Granny Egg Sucking situation. But whilst Neil's spec for the Art Department proper, is fine and easy for me to pick them up to drop onto the FaceBook page, a couple I notice are a little dull. I take the opportunity on all files to re-balance them them, I only use the 'Preview' the App that is bundled with Apple Machines, I am mindful of retaining the original integrity, so I only ever use 'Auto Levels' a one click solution that brings the brilliance back, and the results are excellent.
I do not increase saturation or anything that is likely to interfere with the artists' intent. Most of you will be equipped with Photoshop, but it's quite unnecessary for screen work. Sometimes, for my own work ( photos ) I might use Picassa, the free to use tool, as with that you can also adjust 'tilt' if say your horizon needs levelling.
I am a little cautious here when if it comes to monochrome or pencil work such as Les Orton's as the quick fix will take a background to white, and I wouldn't know if the drawings were on white or off white stock. So if there are any members who are not happy, please let me know.
I do a fair amount of work for Property agents, who often supply pics from pocket cameras. These are excellent devices and very practical, all will come with a free App to make all sorts of adjustments on screen, but I always advise not to use flash, as this flattens everything. It is surprising what can be achieved on screen with the likes of Picassa, from the rawest darkest file. Having what looks like a bright room rather than a dungeon, or sunny garden rather than an overcast one is most important when appealing to the eye, on the later I do cheat sometimes.
If there is anyone not conversant with Apps such as I've mentioned, most have slider controls, to adjust:
Tint ( colour bias )
Size and resolution can also be adjusted.
If this topics warrants further discussion, I would be interested in your comments.
Keep up the good work everyone
Balancing contd...
I take Paul's point that he has already done much adjusting on his uploads to achieve a certain effect, and I do not as a rule now 'tamper' I would be interested to hear from Kate and other if I am right, in assuming this 'subtle' one click remedy does bring a little 'true' brilliance back?
Assuring you my best attention at all times, he who creates, debates, curates, and many other things that rhyme...but we won't go there!

Visual art from whale songs
The New York Times has an article about Mark Fischer, an engineer by training who transforms whale songs into into movies and still images.
Mark uses a technique for processing digital signals called wavelets to visualize the sounds of whales.
From the article:
Among whales, certain sounds and patterns are unique to different species, and even individuals in a group — something like an auditory fingerprint, Mr. Fischer said. "To anyone who doesn't listen to it on a regular basis it sounds like a bunch of clicks," he said. "But if you're a whale — or someone who studies whales — it becomes clear that they have their own dialects."
Wavelets are capable of picking up those distinctions, Mr. Fischer said, nuances that may be missed by the human ear or less detailed visualization methods. "You can pick out any one of those movies and I'll tell you what it is without hearing a thing," he said. "The differences are that dramatic." He envisions a day when researchers may be able to use images generated using wavelets to identify and track individual whales.
Mark Fischer's art can be found on aguasonic.com.

Peterson and Petersons first win of the season did not come easily. Macky Naismith, Ronni Tassoni, and Cole Gamber had key doubles with men on base to propel the team into an 8-6 victory. Pitching from Ian DelGroucy and Ronni T, kept Moppert in check. Mopperts Pitching from Brian B, Ian Mc, and Adam is always impressive and key hits kept them close...but Peterson was not to be denied this win.

Greenlight a bit dim
I enjoyed my meeting and discussion of transportation issues in late May with Pinellas Suncoast Transit Authority CEO Brad Miller. Unfortunately, I still have a number of issues and recommendations for the Green Light Program.
The major problem is North Pinellas pays for the system, yet the majority of benefits go to the south county. The minor increases in bus routes for north county pales in comparison to the light rail for south county, both in service to the community's needs and in cost.
North Pinellas needs better transportation. It does little good to have a bus route on U.S. 19 to connect Tarpon Springs to the major rail services if its older residents cannot get to the bus line to take advantage of it. We need a well-thought-out, well-designed bus system through Tarpon's neighborhoods.
Another major problem with the current proposal is it does not serve our college system. We need to add service from each campus to the rail and the bus lines connecting to the rail.
By Miller's estimation, the plan is only 30 percent complete. Now is the time to add North Pinellas to the system, possibly in Phase 2. Such a move would ensure north county support for Green Light.

No option
As the only third-party candidate for governor, I am extremely disappointed in the Florida Press Association's failure to include me in its gubernatorial candidate forum at the 2014 FPA/FSNE Convention. The FPA's exclusion of a viable third-party candidate is unacceptable and exposes an entrenched bias in its approach to political coverage.
The criteria the FPA has created for inclusion in the forum guarantees that only Republican and Democrat candidates can participate.
I have little doubt that this was entirely by design.
Therefore, I refuse to accept its rules and will attend the FPA/FSNE Gubernatorial Forum on July 10 in Coral Gables. The FPA may either allow me to participate or have me arrested. It has no third option.

Where have all the blockbusters gone?
Not since the release of "Night at the Museum" all the way back in 2006 has a movie dominated the box office. Sure, there have been modest hits like "Stomp the Yard" ($51.2 million and counting), but what about an honest-to-goodness water-cooler flick? With only two major new entries at the multiplex this weekend — neither looking particularly ginormous — you might have to wait at least another week for such a juggernaut. But fear not: Nic Cage — as a comic book hero — and Hannibal are on their way.
In the meantime, we have a new contender for the box-office crown come Friday: "The Messengers." On the plus side, it's got some creepy commercials. On the other hand, its lead actress was the girl in "Zathura" (see "Kristen Stewart Kicks Freaky Kids' Butts In 'Messengers' " ). Sony is banking on a novel new twist on the genre courtesy of acclaimed Hong Kong filmmakers Oxide and Danny Pang. Certainly after the disastrous opening of recent genre fare like "The Hitcher" and "Blood and Chocolate," this one can only pleasantly surprise. And consider that a year ago the similarly starless "When a Stranger Calls" opened to a solid $21 million (see "Paul Walker And A Pack Of Dogs Outrun 'Date Movie'" ).
Meanwhile, football may be on the brain of most this weekend (have you made your Super Bowl plans?), but Universal is hoping for a little counter-programming blitz with the release of "Because I Said So" (see "Mandy Moore Looks For Love Alongside Genre's Giant, Diane Keaton" ). Victimized by perhaps the most mock-worthy chick-flick title since "Something's Gotta Give," this multigenerational family flick tries to mine the Mandy Moore and Diane Keaton audiences for comedic effect.
As for returning flicks, films like "Epic Movie" (last week's #1) were not built for long runs; only disastrous debuts from the two newcomers could cause its return to the top spot. Look for Oscar contenders "The Queen," "Pan's Labyrinth," and "Dreamgirls" to continue to dominate the adult crowd further down the top 10.
The Predictions: Just because he recently had a #1 film in theaters ("Stomp the Yard") doesn't make Chris Brown a champ at box-office prognostication. Or does it? This week, the singer-turned-thespian is trying to prove himself to be a triple threat by adding a Projection Booth crown to his mantle. Can he topple the two pillars of box-office wisdom that are yours truly and Larry Carroll? Check back on Monday to find out.
What's the #1 flick? How much will it rake in?
Larry Carroll, MTV Movies writer: "Epic Movie" ($16 million)
"It's going to be a real close weekend. That much is certain. I'm going to give the edge to 'Epic Movie' as a repeating champ, because 'The Hitcher' didn't do too well, and I think fans are too burned out on horror to go see 'The Messengers.' Plus, there's bound to be a few people who avoid it thinking it's a sequel to the Milla Jovovich Joan of Arc movie from a few years back. 'Epic Movie' will grab another $16 million and just barely beat Mandy and 'The Messengers.' "
Josh Horowitz, MTV Movies editor: "The Messengers" ($22 million)
"Something in my bones tells me that people are itching for a good scare this weekend. OK, maybe it's just that two co-workers separately mentioned the commercials for the film this morning, but still, that stuff counts for something. I think 'The Messengers' is going to go where 'The Hitcher' and 'Blood and Chocolate' only dreamed about — all the way to the top spot."
Chris Brown, "Stomp the Yard" star: "The Messengers" ($19.9 million)
"That movie looks incredible, because even in the previews when they throw the sheets up and you can see the feet under the sheets? I was like, 'Yeah, I'm gonna go watch that!' I'm gonna be biased and say that no movie can surpass 'Stomp the Yard' … so I'll say $19.9 million, right before the $20 million [that 'Yard' opened with]."

Recently on CNBC's Power Lunch, the company broadcast a feature regarding the on-going format war between Blu-ray and HD-DVD. The segment was very neutral as it nobody really took a hard stance for one format against the other.
The chatter was more about education about the two formats rather than hardcore debate over which is the better format. One correspondent even went as far as to saying, "Isnt it just dumb that we're having this war right now? Did we learn nothing from VHS and Beta 20 years ago?"
When talking about which side has a better advantage, the mention that Sony has 5+ million PlayStation 3s out on the market gave support for Blu-ray. However, that was quickly shot down as another correspondent gave the stat that only 20% to 30% of PS3 owners use their PS3s as Blu-ray players.
Furthermore, the segment gave mention that the HD-DVD is the cheaper format, thus giving lure to consumers, but as Sony CES Howard Stringer once said, "[Blu-ray] isn't the cheaper format, but it is the better format."
The full video for this particular segment can be viewed by going here. Be sure to post your thoughts in the comments section below.

So here's the thing about newborn sleep: I don't like being woken up in the middle of the night, when one should be swaddled in a down comforter and sleeping uninterruptedly for 8 hours, but sometimes when I walk in her room and lift her screaming tense little body into my arms I feel this almost instant relaxation in her, this immediate sense that all is ok; "oh" she seems to say. "Oh, I'm going to be ok, you're here. "
If this ever goes away- the feeling that just my presence is enough to calm her- don't tell me. For now, I'm her person, and she's my baby, and sometimes, it feels like magic, it really does.
Of course, there are those times- like say HYPOTHETICALLY- when nothing calms her and she just screams and screams and I'm on like two stretches of 45 minutes sleep and I feel myself getting stupider by the minute- oh, here's a fun example: I was at my friend Jess's house and I saw a
children's book named Ispy on the table in front of the couch where I was sitting. I was there for about three hours, and in the back of my mind, I was thinking "oh, I've never heard of that book." It was only before I was about to leave that I fully saw it and realized: "oh. I Spy. The book is I Spy"
(oh oh AND as ANOTHER example of how sleep deprivation is getting to me: whenever Reagan is screaming I call her my "little baby dragon", because her red face and flailing limbs make her seem like she's a little pterodactyl.
It took me 6 weeks to realize: dinosaurs and dragons: two different things)
Anyway, what? Oh right: for all that it's magic, for all that, really, this is the hardest but also the best thing I've ever done with my life, I feel like I'm in a state of suspended animation, holding my breath, waiting for reality to resume. Almost every morning Mike takes Moose on a field trip to get us coffee (the coffee shop gives moose cookies. We appreciate that) and we sit in bed with the baby and snuggle and watch HGTV and drink our coffee and it's really just terribly wonderful. But in the back of my mind it looms: work, schedules, my life. We've been in a bubble and it's about to burst.

Newspaper article The Florida Times Union
Preservation 2000 Passes Million-Acre Mark
Article excerpt
The state's Preservation 2000 land-buying program has hit a
Virginia Wetherell, secretary of the Environmental Protection
Department, informed Gov. Lawton Chiles and the Cabinet
yesterday that the state has acquired more than 1 million acres
of land.
"I don't think there is any other program like this in the
whole world," Wetherell said.
The program, started in 1990, has spent $1.7 billion purchasing
land for conservation, recreation, protection of water resources
and wildlife preservation.
The project that put the acquisitions over 1 million acres was
the 1,576-acre Annutteliga Hammock in Citrus and Hernando
A proposed constitutional amendment on the November ballot
would allow the state to continue issuing bonds indefinitely for
the program.
SHOW TIME: Adam Herbert made his debut before the Cabinet as
chancellor of the state university system yesterday.
Herbert, former president of the University of North Florida,
presented the budget request for the system.
The bottom line: He wants $230 million more next year to
enhance programs, serve more students and improve salaries.
The Cabinet will forward the request to the Legislature, which
will decide how much the universities get.
LONELY REPUBLICAN: Comptroller Bob Milligan is the only
Republican at the statewide level to get the endorsement of the
Florida Consumer Action Network.
The group, which lobbies on consumer and environmental issues,

education commissioner, Karen Gievers for secretary of state,

Half term seems so long ago, especially after our busy week this week but during half term we were stranded at home due to a poorly car and nonexistent public transport. So we found some activities for the little two to do as well as walks in the surrounding area. One activity that we tried and loved was the Skwooshi Mixer Set.
My children have always loved play dough, I used to make my own but found over time it went funny or would dry out too quickly. So when we were offered the chance to try out a product that is similar yet completely different we jumped at the chance.
So here are the background details of the Skwooshi Mixer Set:
Skwooshi is a compound unlike anything else, it is mouldable one minute and flows the next! It never dries out and never makes a mess. With this tool set you can experiment with colour combinations and take the Skwooshi art to the next level! It stays crushable, Skwooshable and start all over again!
- Includes: 2 x 2 oz Skwooshi compound in assorted colours, 1 colour mixing tool, 1 cross sell brochure, 3 shaped cutters
- Makes incredible detailed sculpts
- Gluten and wheat free
- Suitable for ages 3 years and over
- Warning: Not suitable for children under 36 months due to small parts. Choking hazard
- Caution: Adults please note, remove all packaging before giving this toy to a child

- Skwooshi is covered Worldwide by patents #7,862,894, #291762, #512931, #101563292, #2007285100
So how did my children find the Skwooshi Mixer?
They were amazed at the texture of the compound, loved stretching and molding them separately and together. They have come back to this product time and time again and I will be buying more colours to add to the original ones. You get yellow and blue plus the mixer in the pack we where sent which is a great starter but you really do need more colours to use this to its full.
4/5 Great product, kids really enjoyed playing with it but with only 2 colours you can't really see its full potential.
The Skwooshi Mixer Set is available in the art supplies of the Hobbycraft Store.
We received the Skwooshi Mixer Set to review. This was the only compensation received and all opinions are mine and my children's.
