Forget the prelude. 1-2-3-4 Go! fucking rules. Read what owner Steve-O has to say about it.
1. Tell us briefly about your store.
1-2-3-4 Go! Records started as a label in 2001 and opened our real world store in Oakland, CA in March 0f 2008. Pretty much the worst time to start any business, especially one in an industry most people thought was on it's last legs. We're very proud to say we're having our 5th anniversary in March 2013! We moved in to our latest location last year and now host shows in a separate room. We have 4 to 8 a month as well as a rotating monthly art installation.
2. What got you into the independent record store business?
For most of my adult life I had worked in record stores or music related businesses so I had the history and I saw that there were some great really big stores in the bay area but nothing like the smaller shops I was used to working in. Well curated and focused on punk/indie/etc records. Since those early days we've expanded to have a small but pretty killer selection of jazz, blues, classic rock, funk, reggae etc as well but keep still keep our main focus. We pride ourselves on the fact that you can come in here, spend half an hour or so and walk out with an armload of great finds that would have taken you a few hours to dig out in larger stores.
3. Who are some of your favorite contemporary stores?
Green Noise in Portland, Singles Going Steady and Jive Time in Seattle and you still can't beat Amoeba for size and pure volume.
4. How have things been going from a business perspective?
Every year business is consistently up. We're currently doing five times the business we did the first year we were open so things are definitely moving forward. Always a bit tight but always getting better.
5. What do you think spells the survival for an independent record store today?
Focus. Not trying to be the everything to everyone sort of store. That's a brutal game to try and compete in and for one stop shopping people hit the internet these days I think. But if you offer something special you'll drag people out of their homes and offices to come have a look.
6. What are some of the coolest thing labels have done with you? Instores? Promotions? Sales?
Sales and giveaway stuff are always great. When a label works with you to sell a record you believe in it's the best for everyone. What's better than loving a new record and being able to get in someones hand at a discount and/or give them something cool to go with it? Nothin!
7. Why do we need record stores?
It provides an experience that you don't get online. The thrill of the hunt and subsequent score in a store can't be beat in my opinion. Every store is different and you never know what you'll find or who you'll meet inside it. Some of my longest band/genre tangents have been inspired by talking to folks at stores and about new things or getting hyped on them from customers or the guy behind the counter. I prefer it to blogs myself.
8. What kind of taco is your favorite?
Flour tortilla for sure. Heresy I know. I'm vegetarian so it can be difficult to get a good one but La Pinata in Alameda makes a damn fine one.
9. Who are your top 3 favorite bands right now?
Been on a huge Smog kick lately, got really in to Jobriath and I'm biased because their LP is coming out on my label but Synthetic ID is really killing it for me out here. Really great tense bay area post punk.
10. What is your favorite thing about your store?
The amount of support it continues to have from our customers. I'll be out and see our stickers on cars of people I don't know and if I ever overhear something about the shop it's how much people like it. I wanted to establish a place that was fairly priced and consistently had great new and used stuff in it, staffed by friendly people you can actually talk to about music and I think I did a pretty good job.
11. What are your goals for the future of your store? Long term and short.
Continuing to grow at the pace we have been short term. Long term (also possibly short) a second location. Possibly in San Francisco or Portland.

Ailing Blues hold on to beat slumping Wildby Dan Myers
ST. PAUL, Minn. -- The St. Louis Blues and Minnesota Wild continued to head in opposite directions Tuesday night.
The Blues overcame the absence of their top two goal-scorers, including their captain, as well as a flu bug ravaging their locker room in a 2-1 win against the Wild. Jaden Schwartz extended his goal-scoring streak to six games and set up one by T.J. Oshie to help the Blues improve to 13-0-1 in Central Division play this season and beat the Wild for the seventh consecutive time.
St. Louis has won three straight and is 5-0-1 in its past six games. They won despite playing without top scorers Alexander Steen and David Backes due to injury, and they lost forward Chris Stewart 8:30 into the game when he was hit in the face by a dump-in by Minnesota forward Jason Pominville.
With Steen, Backes and Stewart out, the Blues were missing 53 goals from their lineup, putting added pressure on the rest of the team to step up.
"Obviously, we miss those guys a lot but it's a chance for more guys to get an opportunity and step up," Schwartz said. "I think we're doing a good job of that, everyone is chipping in and playing hard defensively and it's paying off right now."
The Wild are going the other way. They've lost six in a row and are 5-12-1 in their past 18 games, a stretch that began with a 3-0 loss in St. Louis on Nov. 25.
"It feels a little bit like Groundhog Day right now, the difference is that every game has been a different story," coach Mike Yeo said. "We had a good start, our first [period] was good against a team we knew was going to defend hard and play well, and then unfortunately we broke."
After a scoreless first period, St. Louis took advantage of a Minnesota turnover to grab a 1-0 lead. Wild defensemanKeith Ballard's breakout pass hit teammate Mikael Granlund in the skates. Schwartz poked the puck free to Oshie for a quick breakaway. He deked and beat Wild goaltender Josh Harding's poke-check attempt at 6:49 of the second period for his sixth goal of the season.
"I kind of snuck up on him and pinched right before the blue line," Oshie said. "I had a feeling that Schwartz was going to get it and throw it to me. Once it got to me I just kind of stickhandled until I got it in the net. I couldn't really see [Harding]. I saw his stick coming out to poke check and I kind of panicked and it ended up going in for me."
Schwartz made it 2-0 at 15:59 when he led a 2-on-1 break into the Minnesota zone. Schwartz kept the puck and snuck a shot through Harding's five-hole. It was his 14th of the season, third-most on the team. His plus-19 rating is a team-best.
"I'm getting some bounces right now for sure," Schwartz said. "I'm just working hard and it's nice to see them go in for sure. I'm just trying to do my job and producing is part of it."
St. Louis coach Ken Hitchcock said it was important for his team, especially with several of its stars out of the lineup, to get an early lead and not "chase the game."
"We did that once [against] Chicago [Saturday, a 6-5 shootout win] and got away with it, and you're not going to get that very often," Hitchcock said. "I thought the second period we played was outstanding. I thought really until we started giving away the puck a little bit at the end of the third period we really managed the game well."
The Blues kept the Wild locked down in the offensive zone all night. Goaltender Brian Elliott made 24 saves but wasn't really tested until a Wild power play midway through the final period, making perhaps his best save of the night on Mikko Koivu from the top of the crease. The Blues also blocked 24 shots, led by Jay Bouwmeester, who blocked five as well as Carlo Colaiacovo and Alex Pietrangelo, who blocked four apiece.
"When guys are doing that, it makes it a lot easier," Elliott said. "They're not shooting through skates and legs where it's hard to pick up. When they're off the stick and into the mesh, it's a good thing for me."
Minnesota spoiled Elliott's shutout bid when a blast from the point by defenseman Ryan Suter found the back of the net with 8.3 seconds remaining in regulation. The goal was Suter's second of the season and second in as many games.
It was also Minnesota's first goal against the Blues since April 2, snapping a shutout streak against St. Louis that had stretched more than three full games and over 200 minutes (212:52).
Harding made 21 saves and dropped to 18-7-3. It was the first time Harding has lost consecutive games in regulation this season; he was in goal Sunday night when the Wild couldn't hold a 3-0 lead in a 5-4 loss to the New York Islanders.
"Got to get a win. That's what it comes down to. We've got to get a win," Yeo said. "There were a lot of things that were much better tonight, but we're not in a position where we can feel good about those things. We'll build off them, look at them, but there's still other things that we're not doing well enough to win hockey games. Every game is different and you got to find a way to win. It's making a play here or there, it's whatever it takes. We've got to find a way."

(NASDAQ: PLNR), a worldwide leader in specialty display solutions, announced the sale of its electroluminescent (EL) display business to Beneq Oy, a supplier of production and research equipment for advanced thin film coatings. Under the terms of the transaction, consideration consists of a $6.5 million base purchase price, of which $3.9 million was paid in cash at closing and $2.6 million was paid in the form of a promissory note.

The Company will be working with Beneq after the closing to ensure customers are fully supported in the transition.
As a result of the sale of the EL business, the Company is updating its forward looking estimates for the first quarter of fiscal 2013. The Company currently anticipates revenue in the range of $41 to $44 million and a Non-GAAP loss of $0.05 to a Non-GAAP profit of $0.01 in the first quarter of 2013, excluding the gain or loss recorded on the sale of the EL business.

Publisher Larry Tobin's column from May 1 Tomahawk Leader:
Here we go again. Some guy goes wacko and a huge chunk of the American population wants us all to take a dive off the deep end as a result.
Certainly we're all shocked and dismayed over the killings that took place on the Virginia Tech campus a couple of weeks ago. The horror of it is unspeakable and I can't begin to imagine the agony of the students, faculty and their families.
While the anger and frustration of a senseless tragedy is understandable, the latest focus on the weapons used is not. Again the major media and a lot of politicians are aiming at guns and their accessibility to the American public. But, as usual, that should not be the primary focus in this or any other case. The primary focus should be on the 'why' and the 'who' of the crime.
Probably not so many of you remember anymore a guy named Richard Speck. In the mid-1960s, he killed nine student nurses in Chicago one night – with a knife! Certainly, the public was shocked but there were no calls to ban knives.
Then there was a worse tragedy a few years ago, one that killed 168 people in Oklahoma City. A guy named Theodore McVay parked a truck loaded with explosives in front of a federal building and exploded it. Again, people were shocked and horrified but there have been no calls to ban step vans and fertilizer (the primary ingredient in the bomb).
And remember the worst tragedy of all on our soil – 9/11! That one involved airplanes.
Still, people clamor to have gun ownership by private citizens outlawed.
Among them is one of my college classmates who writes for the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel. He is always bemoaning the fact that there are so many people being murdered in Milwaukee.
At one point I asked him if he could explain why some cities have so many gun murders while others do not. For instance, Gary, Ind., traditionally has one of the highest murder rates in the country, while St. Paul, Minn., usually has one of the lowest. Milwaukee is above average in the statistical count as well.
He could not.
While I can't remember the exact figures now, I pointed out to him that Milwaukee was averaging a sizeable number of gun deaths per every 100,000 population. Using whatever figure that was, I noted that Tomahawk should be having one murder a year and Lincoln County should be having 10 if guns were the primary issue in the killings. And, I told him, I would make a very large wager that Tomahawk has more guns per capita and per household than does the City of Milwaukee.
Well, I've been in Tomahawk 25 years and there have been two murders in that time. One of those, as we sadly know, was just recently and involved a knife. The other took place many years ago and a shotgun was used.
I don't even recall an armed robbery in town in that time. The typical crime involving a gun in this part of the country is shooting a deer out of season (or out a vehicle window).
The fact is that gun crime is primarily an urban issue. Certainly it's the weapon of choice for some. But if someone really wants to kill another person – or a lot of people – they will do it. In the 1930s in Kansas City the Mob used to have people run over with automobiles. They were chalked up as traffic fatalities, but murdered just the same. How many there and other places, we'll never know for sure.
Knives will always be available; bombs can be made with information gathered on the Internet; airplanes can be flown into buildings. And there are other despicable ways of killing masses of people that I don't even want to bring up.
Like I said, we need to focus on the 'why' of murder, along with the 'who' is doing it, not the weapon involved.
Focus on the 'why' not the weapon
We encourage you to respond to our opinions. We will try to make an editorial or column available for discussion each week.

Re: Focus on the 'why' not the weapon
exactly - guns (& knives, bombs, etc..) don't kill people, people kill people. The focus always seems to be turned to the "weapons" used -not the user. We need to put the focus on why it happened - good post.

If guns kill people then pencils mispell words.

Re: Focus on the 'why' not the weapon
no, pencils don't misspell words - people do. That is the point - it is the person behind the instrument that inflicts the damage.

Is there anyone still waiting to hear from Harvard? I haven't heard a word, and I sent my app in early December. I called them, and the admissions office said my application is still under review. Any ideas about whether this is good or bad??

Parking and Transportation Services (PATS) is responsible for administering parking and transportation services at RIT. Parking regulations require that all vehicles operated on campus by students, faculty, staff, and contract employees must be registered as quickly as possible but no later than ten days after arrival on campus. On-line registration makes the process fast and easy. You do not need to be the owner of a vehicle to register it.
Navigating a large campus that provides parking for thousands of students, employees and visitors daily can be challenging at times. With that in mind, consider alternative transportation modes, such as transit, bicycling, walking, or ridesharing instead. Transit services are provided for all constituents throughout the school year. Shuttle service makes regularly scheduled stops at all RIT apartments, residence halls, NTID and the RIT Inn and Conference Center, as well as Barnes & Noble @ RIT, Park Point, The Province, Racquet Club and academic areas.
Please feel free to contact the Parking Office with any questions.

Glen Davis' nickname is "Big Baby."
The Orlando Magic big man earned one of the most bizarre technical fouls in NBA history after protesting a foul on Richard Jefferson's alley-oop dunk in San Antonio's overtime win on Wednesday.
Davis pulled his pants down.
Just a few seconds into the video, the camera pans away as Davis is dropping his drawers.
Funny, sad, immature. "Big Baby?" Yep.

MISENHEIMER, N.C. --- The Pfeiffer University women's basketball team outscored Lees-McRae College by a 51-21 margin in the second half en route to an 87-52 victory in Conference Carolinas play on Wednesday night in Merner Gym.
Pfeiffer (8-10, 7-5 CC) posted a 46.6 field goal percentage, including an even 50 percent clip in the second half, while holding Lees-McRae (3-13, 3-8 CC) to a 31 percent mark on the night. The Falcons won the battle on the glass by a 45-31 margin, including a 33-21 advantage on the defensive boards, while converting 19 Bobcats miscues into 26 points.
Janina Thurau (Berlin, Germany) paced the Bobcats with eight points on 3-of-8 shooting, as Erin Thompson (Ashburn, Va.), Candace Flowers (Charlotte, N.C.), and Sophie Witte (Hamburg, Germany) each recorded seven markers. Witte also paced the Bobcats with six rebounds, while Icey Patterson (Seneca, S.C.) chipped in three assists.
Brittany Cox (Winston-Salem, N.C.) poured in a game-high 24 points on 6-of-12 shooting for Pfeiffer, knocking down 6-of-10 attempts from beyond the arc and going a perfect 6-for-6 at the free throw line. Christina Harvey (Locust Grove, Va.) and Shelley Reese (Brown Summit, N.C.) joined Cox in double figures with 12 and 10 points, respectively, as Kellie Rhoney (Catawba, N.C.) dished out a game-high seven assists. Cox also posted a contest-best seven rebounds and three steals.
The first half proved to be a tightly contested period, with neither team opening more than a five-point lead as Pfeiffer carried a 36-31 lead into the intermission after closing the half on a 6-0 run. Pfeiffer carried the momentum into the second half, opening the period on a 12-2 run to take a 48-33 lead on a Harvey jumper with 15:47 to play. The Falcons continued to dictate the flow of play over the next 10 minutes, stretching the lead to 73-45 before closing out the 87-52 win with a 14-7 spurt in the final five minutes.
Lees-McRae returns to the court on Monday when the Bobcats travel to Charlotte, N.C. to take on Queens University of Charlotte in a 5:30 p.m. conference matchup. The Royals won the season's first meeting by a 70-57 score on Jan. 6.

Organizing Your Finances After Your Spouse Has Died
Losing a spouse or partner is a stressful event. Yet, during this time, you must complete a variety of tasks and make important financial decisions. You may need to make final arrangements, notify various businesses and government agencies, settle your spouse's estate, and provide for your own financial security. Fortunately, there are steps you can take to make dealing with these matters less difficult.
Notify others and get advice
Dealing with both the death of your spouse and money matters at the same time can be overwhelming, especially if the death was unexpected. But there are resources available to help. First, call on close family members, friends, and clergy–you'll need their emotional support. Notify your employer and your spouse's employer. Then contact the professionals who will help you cope with the paperwork and financial matters. These may include your funeral director, attorney, insurance professional, financial advisor, and accountant. Keep their phone numbers handy.
Get organized and keep your finances current
You will need a number of documents to finalize your spouse's financial affairs. First, obtain certified copies of the death certificate. Your family doctor or the medical examiner should provide you with the death certificate within 24 hours of the death. The funeral home should complete the form and file it with the state. Get several certified copies (photocopies may not be accepted). Then, gather any estate planning documents, such as a will and trusts, and other relevant documents, such as deeds and titles. Also locate any marriage certificate, birth or adoption certificates of children, and military discharge papers, which you may need to apply for benefits. If you don't know where these documents are, they may be found in a safe-deposit box, or your attorney may have copies. You may want to set up folders so you can keep track of everything. And, although it may be difficult under the circumstances, pay your bills and keep your finances current, especially mortgage and insurance payments.
Settle your spouse's estate
Settling your spouse's estate is the duty of the executor, who is named in the will. Spouses generally name each other as executor of the other's estate. If this is so, your attorney can help you to wind up your spouse's financial affairs. If that is not the case, contact the executor and assist him or her when you can.
Here is a rundown of some of the most important tasks that must be completed.
- Report the death to Social Security by calling 1-800-772-1213. If your spouse was receiving benefits via direct deposit, request that the bank return funds received for the month of death and thereafter to Social Security. Do not cash any Social Security checks received by mail. Return all checks to Social Security as soon as possible. Surviving spouses and other family members may be eligible for a $255 lump-sum death benefit and survivor's benefits. Go to www.ssa.gov for more information.
- Contact all insurance companies to file claims. The policies could include individual and group life, mortgage insurance, auto credit life insurance, accidental death and dismemberment insurance, credit card insurance, and annuities.
- Arrange to retrieve your spouse's belongings from his or her workplace. Collect any salary, vacation, or sick pay owed to your spouse, and be sure to ask about continuing health insurance coverage and potential survivor's benefits for a spouse or children.
- Contact past employers regarding pension plans, and contact any IRA custodians or trustees. Review designated beneficiaries and post-death distribution options.
- Contact all credit card companies and let them know of the death. Cancel all cards unless you're named on the account and wish to retain the card.
- File the will with the appropriate probate court. If real estate was owned out of state, file ancillary probate in that state also. If there is no will, contact the probate court for instructions, or contact a probate attorney for assistance.
- Retitle jointly held assets, such as bank accounts, automobiles, stocks and bonds, and real estate.
- A federal estate tax return may need to be filed within nine months of death. State laws vary, but state estate tax and/or inheritance tax returns may also need to be filed, and may have a different filing date. Federal and state income taxes are due for the year of death on the normal filing date, unless an extension is requested. If there are trusts, separate income tax returns may need to be filed.
- Reevaluate your budget, short-term and long-term finances, insurance needs, and investment options. Update insurance policies, and your own estate and investment plans as needed.

tinted CV9/26
an up-coming job will be my first using pigmented CV . will be using Chemcraft Plasticolor . I've read the TDS , and understand the basic process . Their does seem to be a few different options though , and was curious about which schedules most of you folks use . 1 coat primer / 1 coat top coat ? 1 primer / 2 top coats ? anyone skip primer altogether ?
one other concern with tinted CV is grain showing through . I was checking out some cabs in a $ 800,000 home with solid colored cabinets . I noticed in the utilitary area a couple doors with visible grain shadowing through the finish coats . my client stated that is unacceptable....no grain visible at all is what she wants . is the grain bleed through common ? avoidable ?
Depends on what you mean by grain showing. If you mean the pore holes then that can be filled. If you mean the grain pattern that's harder to hide.
I'm not using your product, but this is what I do for a nice filled finish. First on painted goods my usual go to is soft maple and MDF if there are panels involved.
2 coats of primer. Minimal thinning, 1st coat is sprayed at full mill rating. Let it dry fully so it powders nicely while scuffing. I use 220 grit and sand back hard. Usually areas become transparent.
2nd coat is the same, heavy, max mil rating. Again let if fully dry so it sands nice. This times scuff with 320 grit. Sand anything that looks like it has any grain telegraphing, the rest just sand lightly.
then two coats of topcoat, scuffing with 320 grit pretty hard to get it flat. Looking at it with a low angle raking light to see any indentations of grain or pores. Sand these areas a little harder to flatten.
Last coat is a medium mil thickness, no need to go heavy, things should be pretty flat. When dry lift a door or smaller pc up to the light and keep your eye low as you look at a light. The reflection should be very flat and mirror like.
Leo.....it looked like the grain was "telegraphing" through the finish coats . not sure if it could be felt , as the doors were high up .
what causes this ? primer coats too light ?
certain woods more prone to show this ? some wood/ substrate require 2 primer coats while others require only one ?
does it show up immediately ? or weeks later as the coating shrinks back ?
Max.....I'll get the reducer like you advised . and I'll take a look at the Chemlife . my supplier doesnt seem to carry the full line , so I may be stuck with which ever they carry . a while back I asked about the catalyst for Chemguard , and they looked at me like the mothership was departing and I'd better get going or Im gonna miss it .
the rep also mentioned that I shouldnt worry about sand throughs . do you all agree with that statement ?
I always use 2 coats of primer. ALWAYS. The first one will more than likely have some burn thru. I sand the first coat very aggressively to get rid of any imperfections. Then i dilute my second coat 20% so it lays down nice. A light scuff and its ready for paint.
I wouldnt rely on dudes advice to not worry about burn thrus.. Paint ready means no wood showing. Just smooth primer.
Yes, certain woods are more prone to this. Woods with a pronounce grain will be tougher to tame.
Also if you just have a random orbit sander it will be much tougher to suppress the grain. The softer areas of the wood will get eaten up more than the harder areas and then that will telegraph through.
The best way is to run it through a wide belt sander and do a small bit of RO sanding, just enough to get rid of scratches. Or use as much MDF as you can, it has no grain.
Sanding the coatings is how you level out the grain, lots of work, charge accordingly if you are use to a light scuff and spray.
I just used the same product for the first time with good results. Leo is right on with steps.
Soft maple was the wood. The color was a dove grey.
1. Two coats of primer.
Remember to let the coats dry good between spraying.
Good luck.
o.k. , got it .
2 primers and 2 pigmented coats .
sand aggressively with 220 between primer coats .
sand with 320 between the rest of the coats .
let dry thoroughly between coats . never a problem here . haste makes waste .
sounds like the cab doors will be soft maple ; frame and flat panel .
just found out theres passage doors also , to be done in solid white ; also soft maple . is pigmented CV still a better alternative than paint for such an application ?
sounds as though a 4 step pigmented process will be about 30% to 40% more labor intensive than stain\CV\CV . sound about right ?
Ya, closer to 40%
Leo is spot on.
If you want a class A finish. You spray the 1st primer coat. It shows all the defects. You fill the defects and sand the first coat and defects at the same time. You have now taken off 50% of the primer. Next you spray a 2nd coat of primer to bury the differences in hardness between the sanded primer, filler and exposed wood.
The key to prevent telegraphing is to smooth it out and bury it. The topcoats magnify problems, the primer can hide them if applied properly.
I think it's funny sometimes when you hear a customer say "we will just go with a painted finish since it's easier and cheaper".
That's because in their mind you are using a brush with latex. They don't realize we aren't "painting" we are finishing. There is a huge difference between the two. And paint generally shows the defects while stain has a more hiding effect (usually).
If they just want and IKEA paint grade job it's easy. Once coat of primer, light scuff and one coat of color, done.
so what is the best product when an actual paint is in order....such as base trim , window casing , etc in solid colors ?
Ive been asked a couple times in the past if I do this kind of work , but didnt pursue it for lack of equipment . now Im set up to do it , and wouldnt mind at all .
For white primer I also like to use 3M Powdered Guide Coat to make sure I see all the defects. It is a carbon black powder that you wipe into all the low spots and then you can visually see when your panel is perfectly flat.
3M Powdered Guide Coat
Thanks. That is another great 3m product.
I remember when fairing boat hulls we would tint the first of the primer coats to show depth to prevent unfairing and to find the high and lows.
Jimmy - Essex Coatings prefinishes panels with both clear and white SuperSeal. The white will give you full hide.

This is nothing but shameless racism. I really hope more people speak out about this because it is not only outrageous, it also reflects the ridiculous amount of paranoia and xenophobia that's tarnishing our society. Yesterday morning, I heard about Rachael Ray's new commercial for Dunkin' Donuts getting pulled because of complaints from the right-wing blogosphere, specifically from the notoriously anti-Islamic and xenophobe Michelle Malkin. What were the complaints about? Well, according to Malkin, the black-and-white colored scarf worn by Rachael Ray in the commercial heavily resembled the keffiyeh, which she defined as the "traditional scarf of Arab men that has come to symbolize murderous Palestinian jihad."
Are you kidding me? The commercial was yanked because of a black-and-white patterned scarf with paisley designs? The bigots from the right-wing were so offended and worried that Dunkin' Donuts was "promoting terrorism" or "Palestinian jihad" because their sponsor wore a scarf? In response to these complaints, Dunkin' Donuts wrote:
"Thank you for expressing your concern about the Dunkin' Donuts advertisement with Rachael Ray. In the ad that you reference, Rachael is wearing a black-and-white silk scarf with a paisley design that was purchased at a U.S. retail store. It was selected by the stylist for the advertising shoot. Absolutely no symbolism was intended. However, given the possibility of misperception, we will no longer use the commercial."
Possibility of misperception? So if someone perceives the scarf as a Palestinian scarf, it is subsequently a "terrorist" or "jihadist" scarf?
When will the Islamophobia end?
First of all, the scarf worn by Rachael Ray was not a Palestinian scarf, and as argued on The Young Turks radio program: So what if it was?!
Second, don't people realize how racist Michelle Malkin's remarks are? Can't they see the racist undertones; can't they see the dehumanization of a people, the sheer vilification of a people? According to people like her, anyone who wears that scarf is a "murderous Palestinian jihadist." If Dunkin' Donuts doesn't want to offend anyone in their commercials, then how come they don't realize that they're offending the Muslim and Arab community by agreeing with Malkin's racist interpretation of the scarf?
The scarf, or keffiyeh, is a traditional Arabian headdress – it has no association with terrorism. I have worn the keffiyeh numerous times, I have friends who wear it, I have family members who wear it – should people point fingers at us and brand us terrorists?!
I am sick of the mainstream media treating Muslims as if they are sub-humans, as if our community has absolutely no worth or place in society. History has taught us that dehumanization of "the other" (in today's world, the Muslims) is an essential process that occurs in the media on a daily basis in order to propagate war. Just look at how dehumanized the Muslims have become ever since this ILLEGAL, INHUMANE, and GOD-FORSAKEN WAR began. The interrogators at Guantanamo Bay desecrated our Islamic Holy Book, the Qur'an, by flushing them down the toilets, the Danish cartoonists vilified our Prophet (peace be upon him) by depicting him with a bomb strapped to his turban, radio show bigots like Michael Savage lead an all-out onslaught against Muslims, instructing people to curse out Muslims in public and deport them from the United States, and now after we have seen the vilification of our Holy Book, the vilification of our beloved Prophet, the vilification of our community, we see the vilification of clothing that a certain ethnic group wears. The keffiyeh is not even an exclusively Islamic scarf, it is Middle-Eastern – not all Middle-Easterners are Muslim! Not even all Palestinians are Muslim!
If commercials should be banned just because of their dress, then why don't we ban all the depictions of Jesus wearing a Middle-Eastern headdress, or depictions of Moses and the other Prophets wearing the Middle-Eastern headdress?! (Peace be upon them all) Let's become fascists and outlaw all religious symbols, religious clothing, and religious slogans! No, but Malkin and her band of bigots will only argue that Muslims are the terrorists in the Middle-East and we, the U.S., must defend ourselves if we want to "preserve" our freedom and liberty. In response to Dunkin' Donuts, Malkin writes:
"It's refreshing to see an American company show sensitivity to the concerns of Americans opposed to Islamic jihad and its apologists."
Is anyone else just as outraged by Michelle Malkin's blatant racism? Since the majority of employees at Dunkin' Donuts are Indian, Pakistani, Egyptian, Iranian, and Latino – why don't we just ban them too from the workplace? After all, if we use Malkin's logic, these are people who are stealing our jobs (Indians), terrorists (Pakistanis), terrorists (Egyptians), holocaust-denying terrorists (Iranians), and illegal immigrants (Latinos). See how effective stereotyping is? We don't need to judge people based on their individuality or on our own experiences with them, we can learn enough from their ethnicity!
Seriously, this type of alarmist and xenophobic behavior is extremely offensive and disturbing. The media neglects the Muslim voice – we are the community facing an annual increase in hate crimes and discriminatory acts since 9/11, but people like Malkin downplay it. According to her, the hate crime incidents and reports are "exaggerated," and Muslims are just "victimizing" themselves. Yes, Ms. Malkin, tell us that our clothing is terrorist clothing, tell us to keep silent when some racist bigot calls us a "rag-head" or "dune coon," tell us to shut up when Muslim countries are bombed, tell us that women and children and other innocent people in Iraq or Palestine or Afghanistan have no right to defend themselves.
How sick and twisted is this country becoming? I feel sorry for Rachael Ray because now she will be associated with that scarf and "terrorism." Imagine if all of us wore the keffiyeh in response to this ridiculous, alarmist, red-scare-of-the-21st-century; imagine if people actually woke up and felt motivated to do something about our society – imagine what could be accomplished.
Michelle Malkin is a racist in every sense of the word. Muslims will not stop being Muslims, they will not stop wearing their traditional clothing, and they will not let Islamophobes change their lifestyles. So go ahead, point fingers at me when I'm wearing my keffiyeh, and call me a terrorist. I will not care. The hate is on you.

Technology consulting firm Avanade has entered into an agreement to purchase eight-year-old Seattle technology company Azaleos. As a result of the deal, terms of which weren't disclosed, the 200 employees at Azaleos will be offered positions at Avanade.
Azaleos describes itself as a provider of remotely managed services for Microsoft Exchange, SharePoint and Lync, allowing organizations to remotely monitor and manage email, collaboration, and unified communications systems.
"Azaleos' unique technology provides customers with the functionality and familiarity of Microsoft technology delivered in a way that provides more control at a lower cost, while offering enterprise service levels above the industry average," said Avanade CEO Adam Warby in a statement.
The Azaleos technology plays a key role for organizations that are trying to manage the number of personal devices now connecting to corporate networks.
To capture more of the market opportunity faster, we believe Avanade's global leadership in Microsoft services and our shared passion to help customers succeed made them the right partner for us," Azaleos CEO Phil Van Etten said.
Backed with $28 million from Ignition Partners, Second Avenue Partners and others, Azaleos was named one of the top 30 fastest growing tech companies in North America as part of the Deloitte's Technology Fast 500.
In an email to GeekWire, Ignition's Richard Fade noted that the deal was a "great outcome" for investors:
"Azaleos has been a pioneer in managed services creating a platform for service delivery for private cloud customers – this is going to continue to be a big business especially for companies with compliance or security sensitivity. As the result you will see companies like Avanade beefing up their ability to deliver these services."

Announcement ~ LUNAR announced - feedback wanted LUNAR Walking School
# Posted on August 3rd, 2008 10:42 PM by Gideon ZhiSo here it is, ready to be playtested... or is it? The script is still slightly wooden, in a translated-from-Japanese sort of way. It´s hard to pinpoint what´s wrong with it, and maybe it´s only something that a trained eye can see, but it´s certainly not on par with recent stuff like LaL 2.0. Passable, maybe? I´m not sure.
So, I´m asking for opinions. Would you all rather see another edit pass, or should I just toss it into betatesting? It´s certainly otherwise ready.

Miscellaneous ~ Looking for investors.# Posted on July 4th, 2008 05:36 AM by Gideon ZhiDo you love what we do here? Do you enjoy older games from days gone by, or perhaps feel that the current generation of games is lacking something? Have you ever wanted to support Aeon Genesis, but haven´t known how?
Well, here´s the thing. I´m looking for investors to help fund what I´ll call a "splinter" operation. This isn´t going to be AGTP, although it will follow similar lines. It won´t replace AGTP either - at least, I hope it won´t - so your favorite WIP projects aren´t going anywhere. (In the event that I AM forced to close AGTP, all current project files will be made public for acquisition by other groups.)
While I can´t divulge much just yet, I have put together a viable business plan; the only problem is, this is going to be stupidly expensive for one person to fund. Now, don´t get me wrong - I´m not asking for free money. I´m looking to drum up some capital that I can then take to a venture capitalist to say, "Look what I was able to raise on my own!" I will *not* take any money until venture capital comes through, and even then you will be paid back with commensurate interest within a few years. This is not without risks, of course, but if I wasn´t confident in my plan I wouldn´t be throwing this out here.
If you´re interested and can help fund this, even a little, please send an email to this address. Let´s do something awesome and show the industry who´s boss.

Progress ~ Well, THAT bit´s done, after how long? Mystic Ark
# Posted on June 23rd, 2008 05:04 PM by Gideon ZhiLast night at about 10:00PM Eastern, I *finally* finished mapping out the last of the embedded pointers in Mystic Ark´s insert file. All 6562 jumps in the script have now been assigned a unique identifier digit, with corresponding markers and targets for each. That´s 6562 copies and pastes. 6562 sets, 6562 writes. And you wonder why this is taking so long :p
That doesn´t mean that it´s ready to insert yet, I´m afraid. MKendora has written a simple utility to add *normal* pointer writes to the file; I´ve just run it, and the next step has me commenting out any potential false positives so inserting this thing doesn´t completely break the rom. This´ll take a while, but I don´t imagine it´ll take nearly as long as the *last* step took.
So yeah, progress. Nothing that I can show off, I´m afraid, but still. Progress.

The scripts are all edited save for the final chapter, but of course due to that previously-mentioned save corruption, I need to restart the game from the beginning. Provided a speedy replay and no further technical problems (and maybe some wrangling with SNES9X´s cheat engine) an in-house betatest should be coming pretty soon, with a release following shortly thereafter. No promises, though! We thought the technicals had been resolved last September, but look how wrong we were!

What can we do to stop smoking? Start with these three steps.
- Educate Yourself. The first step to quitting smoking is to understand your risks associated with tobacco use, but there's a lot more to quitting than frightening statistics. Our journey to smoke-free living will help us turn our life around in so many ways.
- 20 minutes after quitting: your blood pressure and heart rate recover from the cigarette-induced spike.
- 12 hours of smoke-free living: the carbon monoxide levels in your blood return to normal.
- 2 weeks to three months of smoke-free living: your circulation and lung function begin to improve.
- 1 week to nine months of smoke-free living: clear and deeper breathing gradually returns.
- 1 year after quitting smoking, a person's risk of coronary heart disease is reduced by 50 percent.
- 5 years after quitting smoking, a person's risk of stroke is similar to that of a nonsmoker.
- Make a Plan to Quit. We're more likely to quit smoking for good if we prepare by creating a plan that fits our life and lifestyle.
- SET a quit date within the next 7 days.
- CHOOSE a method; cold turkey or gradually.
- DECIDE if you need help from a healthcare provider or nicotine replacement.
- PREPARE for your quit day by preparing for cravings and urges to smoke.
- QUIT on your quit day.
- Tips for Success. Setting realistic goals and making slow changes over time are the best ways to set ourselves up for success, feel our best and live a healthy life.
- Deal with Urges to Smoke. Whether physical or mental, we must learn our triggers and make a plan to address them. We should avoid situations that make us want to smoke until we feel confident that we can make it through the urges.
- Stay Physically Active. Physical activity helps us manage our stress level so keeping active while trying to quit can help with the stress of not smoking. Plus it helps manage our weight and strengthen our heart!
- Learn to Handle the Stress. Quitting smoking may cause us to feel stress. We also may be more tempted to give in to cravings when we are stressed. Learning how to handle stress can help us make it through the first few months of learning healthier habits to replace smoking.
- Develop a Support System. Some of us have a "quit-smoking buddy" and others have a support program. Both can help smokers identify and cope with problems we may have when trying to quit.
- Stick with It. Quitting smoking take a lot of will power. We should reward ourselves when we reach milestones and forgive ourselves if we take a step backward. Get back on course as soon as possible to stay on track and kick the habit for good.

NEW: Intergrated diagnostic in Fieldbus Power Supply module
The new ISbus Advanced Fieldbus Power Supply of R.STAHL features individual integrated diagnostic for the "physical layer" parameters and is unique in its execution. Expensive additional diagnostic modules as backplanes and gateways are not necessary anymore. Effective monitoring of the Fieldbus H1 segment will be much easier and more economical attractive for the budget.
The Advanced Fieldbus Power Supply continuously reads the physical parameters (physical layer) of the fieldbus, such as voltage and current on the trunk, communication level, noise level, asymmetries and jitter.
If these parameters deteriorate by a value that can be freely adjusted on the device, the system will signal a warning via a yellow LED and simultaneously transfer the warning message to the control system via a potential-free relay contact.
Situations which completely exceed or fall below the fieldbus specification are signalled via a red LED and the relay contact.
The Advanced Fieldbus Power Supply can be connected to a PC through a serial interface in order to read out data if detailed information regarding physical layer parameters is desired.
Just like the basic version, the Advanced Fieldbus Power Supply System supplies the fieldbus with 28 V and 500 mA and enables a 1 A (!!) supply via a parallel connection of two devices in "Boost" mode.
The units, which can be installed on a DIN rail or on bus-Carriers, can be operated in mixed installations with basic models.
The complete ISbus concept for FF H1/PA, including the new Power Supply Unit, allows a more energy efficient, simple, stabile and flexible network, also for combinations of intrinsic safe, flameproof and Zone 2 instrumentation.
The new unique "physical layer diagnostics" allows for integrated, cost-efficient monitoring of fieldbus installations, rendering complex and costly separate diagnosis modules unnecessary.

When I was in Vermont, I never had apple pie. But the name just sounds autumnal, doesn�t it?
When I was in Vermont, I never had apple pie. But the name just sounds autumnal, doesn�t it?
You can cheat and buy a package of two 9-inch pre-made piecrusts. But given time, it�s a feeling of deep satisfaction to make your own.
3 cups plain flour
1� tsp salt
3 tbsp sugar
1 cup Crisco (from experience, I learned to not substitute a store brand for the real thing when dealing with shortening)
1/3 cup ice water
Toss the flour, salt and sugar to mix. Cut it together using a wire pastry blender or two knives until it �looks like coarse meal.� (I had no idea what that meant, but all the recipes say to do it. It means to make it chunky.)
Sprinkle with some water. Start gathering it together with a fork, then give up, stick your hands in, and work it into smooth dough. (Make sure you wash your hands first, though.)
Divide the dough into two balls, one slightly bigger than the other one. Roll it out between two sheets of floured wax paper.
2�-3 pounds Granny Smith apples, peeled and sliced
� to 2/3 cup brown sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
1/8 tsp salt
� cup flour
2 tbsp butter
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
Line a 9-inch pie pan with the larger of the two crusts you rolled out. I found it easier to position the crust if it is on the bottom sheet of wax paper, which you invert and then peel off.
Mix the sliced apples with the sugar, cinnamon, salt and flour. Pour it into the pie shell and dot with slices of butter.
Cover with the top piecrust. Trim off the excess dough, and then pinch the edges together. Poke vent holes in the top. (Mom always made the letter �A� for apple. I assume it was apple, anyway.)
To make the pie festive, make autumn leaves and arrange on top. Mix in a bit of yellow food coloring in half the remaining dough and some red coloring in the other. The only practical way of doing so is with your hands. Be prepared to have yellow and red fingers for two days.
Using leaf-shaped cookie cutters or a sharp knife, cut out several red and yellow leaves and arrange them on top of the pie. Mix the remaining bits of red and yellow dough together to make orange dough and repeat. Draw �veins� in the leaves with the sharp knife.
You can also make an egg wash (some egg mixed with a bit of water) and paint it over the pie. That�ll give it a nice shine when it�s done baking.
Bake about 45 minutes. Halfway through, cover the edges with aluminum foil so they don�t burn.

What is so Good About Halogen Bulbs?
We are constantly being bombarded with advice to stop using normal bulbs and switch to halogen ones - but we are not usually given the background information as to why.
So, I was glad to receive an e-mail from DaveyP asking me to explain more detail.
What are they?
Put to use as an alternative to the regular bulb, halogen bulbs are a distinctive type of light bulb which will generate light by employing halogen gas which enables the bulb to produce an increased amount of light plus an extended life span from the light bulb as well.
How do they work?
All of this can be done thanks partly to a chemical process that gives a continuing way to obtain a brighter light yield and also managing to keep the light bulb permanently clean. The light bulb is constructed out of a strong translucent glass generally known as quartz, and is tougher, and thus permits the pressure of the gas to get higher, consequently lowering the degeneration of the filament. Consequently now you can see precisely how these elements used in combination is actually allows halogen bulbs to work with an increased light voltage.
Where to use them?
There are several various places and conditions at which halogen bulbs can be utilized. Handled very much the same just like a normal light bulb will be treated, the halogen bulb might be put into use throughout industrial and also residential places. As part of the limitless uses of the halogen bulb the most widespread ways in which it is actually utilised would be the following: work lights, motor vehicle headlights, spotlights and floodlights, under cabinet lighting, and many more. Even though there are a lot of positive aspects in the applications of the halogen bulb, a single basic bad thing is all the generated heating which is discharged because of all the high voltage output. Therefore, safety precautions call for halogen bulbs often be protected by a grille or a grid.

I've heard that once Obamacare kicks in next year, I won't have to pay anything for my health insurance at work. It would be great if it's true. I take as much overtime as I can to pay for my coverage and my daughter's. It sounds too good to be true, but is it true?
Dear Skeptical,
It's not true, or not exactly true anyway. Health reform does not make an employer pay for everyone's coverage. It does, however, set some limits on how much an employee pays to cover him/herself. An employee cannot pay more than 9.5 percent of his income to join the employer's plan and cover himself. (The amount he pays for family coverage can be higher than 9.5 percent of his income or his household income.)
There are other things in health reform to help moderate and low-income families pay for health insurance and pay for co-pays and deductibles. Families whose income is less than 400 percent of federal poverty limits (FPL) will get help. If it is just you and your daughter, then you would get help if your yearly salary is less than $62,040. Visit the Kaiser Family Foundation's Health Reform Subsidy calculator to get an estimate of how much help you might get.

A large and very rare blue diamond that could be worth up to $10 million was unearthed in South Africa at the Cullinan mine near Pretoria.
The diamond, weighing in at an impressive 25.5 carats , was recovered by Petra Diamonds.
"It's very unusual for a diamond of this quality and size to come to market," said company spokeswoman Cathy Malins.
The Cullinan mine is famous for producing blue diamonds, including the largest gem-quality diamond ever discovered, the Cullinan diamond, at 3,106.75 carats before cutting.
The Cullinan diamond was split into a number of pieces, including the second-largest polished diamond in the world, known as the Great Star of Africa.

A judge has refused to approve a plea deal reducing Willie Nelson's drug charges following a marijuana bust last year.
The country icon was arrested on suspicion of marijuana possession in November after a Border Patrol agent in Texas smelled pot smoke during a search of Nelson's tour bus.
Nelson reportedly struck a deal with prosecutors allowing him to plead no contest to a reduced charge of misdemeanour possession of drug paraphernalia, which he did last month, and pay a $500 fine and $280 in court costs.
However, on Friday, County Judge Becky Dean-Walker admitted she had signed the plea deal then changed her mind and scratched her name out because she feels Nelson deserves a tougher penalty.
Dean-Walker explains, "I'm not going to be guilty of signing something because someone is a celebrity… Everybody should be treated the same in my court."
The judge claims any other person would receive a more severe punishment. The case, which has been handed back to County Attorney C.R. Bramblett, remains pending, according to Reuters.


text: "Art & Copy" is a powerful film about advertising and inspiration It reveals the work and wisdom of some of the most influential advertising creatives of our time -- people who've profoundly impacted our culture, yet are virtually unknown outside their industry. Exploding forth from advertising's "creative revolution" of the 1960s, these artists and writers all brought a surprisingly rebellious spirit to their work in a business more often associated with mediocrity or manipulation: George Lois, Mary Wells, Dan Wieden, Lee Clow, Hal Riney and others featured in "Art & Copy" were responsible for "Just Do It," "I Love NY," "Where's the Beef?," "Got Milk," "Think Different," and brilliant campaigns for everything from cars to presidents. They managed to grab the attention of millions and truly move them. Visually interwoven with their stories, TV satellites are launched, billboards are erected, and the social and cultural impact of their ads is brought to light in this dynamic exploration of art, commerce, and human emotion.
