Chap 2 Pg 13on September 27, 2010 at 8:00 am
Some of you probably know this already, but I'm happiest drawing this comic when Cleo has a gun.
Niiice bikes! I think Cleo might have missed 'cuz there's a lollipop stuck in the barrel of her gun . . . (Just kidding. Gun's cool, too.)
The guns are fabulous! I think I saw Cleo's gun in Who Framed Roger Rabbit.
i like the page layout for sure, action intensity, and the 3d effect of cleo's gun – in your face! and the shading effect of the first panel to the light of the gun. nice work!
Can I adopt Khensu? he's so cute and witty ^^
I love the design of Cleo and her gun on the last frame !
This strip just took another step ahead in quality. Looks great, Mike!
I suspect Cleo is happiest with a gun in her hand too …
C'mon Cleo! Get after them!
Excellent as always. I'm just dyin' to know what was in that case they stole!
Oh! Yeah! The CASE! Forgot about that … I was just jumping in with the space-bike chase with laser blasts and and photon detonations and and … stuff …
Yeah, sorry, going a little crazy here – first day back at work after 4 days off.
I'm honestly surprised she missed.
Cleo SHOULD have stealth mode on HER bike :)
"Some of you probably know this already, but I'm happiest drawing this comic when Cleo has a gun."
But doesn't she always… uh… never mind.
Guns do make people happy. I find it amusing that today we try and make sure our motorcycles are easily seen by others – additional lights – flashing headlights, etc., and yet in the future they make them harder to see. I like it. Hopefully this means in the future people are better drivers… or technology makes it safer, either way is a win-win.
Mike M: that's not a lolipop stuck in the barrel… that's a lolipop gun! Maybe a lolipop railgun… ;-D

Stunning Acrylic Prints for Photographers – Acrylic Printing Review
| by JP Danko | Pictures By Mom | Where Moms Learn Photography |
If you're like me and you really like the wow factor of seeing big, bright, beautiful prints on your walls, you'll want to see what a metallic photographic print face mounted onto acrylic looks like.
Acrylic Mounted Photographic Prints
The fine people at Bumblejax recently reached out to send us a studio sample of one of our photographs, printed on metallic paper and mounted onto acrylic, and I can honestly say that the finished photo is absolutely stunning.
It actually looks like the photo is back-lit, or on an LED screen – it is that bright and vibrant! In fact, after hanging it, I have had several people ask if the acrylic print was a TV screen or some sort of giant iPad – which is exactly the type of pop that I was after.
About Bumblejax
This is the first time that I have had something printed at Bumblejax and I was really impressed with both the quality of the final image and their level of customer service.
Bumblejax is a boutique print shop and you can really tell that they have pride in what they do.
About Acrylic Prints
If you want to see a quick video that shows exactly what goes into mounting photographic prints onto acrylic, take a look at this video:
What was surprising to me is the level of personalized care and human attention that has to go into every piece – you don't get that kind of craftsmanship very often anymore.
Bumblejax is very particular about the quality of the products they are offering. If you want to see more about the differences between acrylic prints from different suppliers, take a look at the product information here.
Ordering and Cost
Bumblejax can print a number of sizes and aspect ratios from small 7×7 pieces up to big 40×30 prints. They can even do custom sizes up to 92×46!
Personally, I don't see much point in ordering small acrylic prints, unless you are doing a wall collage.
Instead I would go as large as possible for your space – and then order one size larger – you won't be sorry when you hang the acrylic print.
You can also upgrade the basic acrylic print by going with ¼" acrylic and/or metallic paper. The metallic paper is a no-brainer – the whole point of mounting your prints on acrylic is to get as much vibrancy as possible, and metallic paper is great for that. And if you're going to spend the money anyway, the upgrade to ¼" acrylic is only a marginal increase in cost too.
Ordering is simple – you can upload and order acrylic prints directly from Bumblejax' website, or if you have a custom order, you can submit a quote request and upload your image files via FTP.
Would I Recommend Bumblejax to a Friend?
Absolutely! The print they made for me is one of my all time favorites. Everyone that sees it loves it, and it totally stands out from the usual 8×10 framed photos that people typically hang on their walls.
However, acrylic mounted photographic prints, especially photos printed on metallic paper are not for every photograph. These prints look best with photos that are sharp, vibrant, colorful and crisp. If a photo looks especially good on a screen, like an HD TV, cell phone or tablet, chances are that it will look awesome as an acrylic mounted photographic print.

These two powerful women share many things in common. They are both wealthy, single, and enjoy keeping hot young men around the house to satisfy their sexual desires. It's clear to the men positioned around the home that these women are the masters of their domain and that they are merely slaves. If the men value their jobs and their livelihood they will follow directions and do as their master's command.
As the two women sit on the couch and talk about the yoga session they just had, the men in the background watch on, shirtless, for any command the masters may give. The gorgeous women are still fully dressed in their spandex outfits while the men are required to be shirtless, and often completely naked.
The conversation between the women ends with a command to the men. "Over here boys, drop those pants." The women instruct their male toys. They immediately do as they are told. The men stand in front of the clothed women completely naked with their cocks swinging limp. Both women take their man's cock and begin stroking them to erections. The women still sit on the couch while they give handjobs to their slaves. When they are nice and hard, it's into the women's mouths that the cocks now go. They suck both men off and prepare them for what's to come.
When both men are completely erect and their cocks stand firm, the girls bend over on the couch and demand the men tear holes into the back of their spandex to access their wet pussies. The men do as instructed and tear holes that expose the women's bare asses and pussies. The women then instruct the men to shove their stiff cocks deep into their pussies and thrust forcefully until they are told not to. Following orders, both men approach the women with their cocks leading the way and penetrate their waiting pussies. Both women look at each other, smile, and even kiss and fondle each other as they take cock from their slaves.
There is much more to this story and lots of wild sex to be had by the clothed females and nude males. Click on the link below to watch the videos that go with this story!

PMI: Europe takes PerformanceIN to the Dutch capital of Amsterdam this year, bringing together advertisers, agencies, networks and publishers from across the world for two days of all things performance marketing.
As we wrap up what has been an action-packed, lively and insightful Day One, let's look back at the highlights so far.
Day highlights
Day One brought a mix of speakers, topics and companies to the stage as our attendees heard from various specialists in the field. They covered a broad variety of topics, from programmatic and SEO, to different types of data and customer targeting techniques, right the way across to moment marketing and cart abandonment.
One of the early sessions brought a discussion on 'the next wave' of customer acquisition techniques', headed up by zanox global project manager Florian Wallner. This saw a run through new ideas like advertiser cross-industry co-operations for targeting prospects right at the start of their journey.
Next went Rakuten Marketing with a debate & discuss session titled 'Paving a Plan for Last-Click Rewarding,' which gave attendees an opportunity to speak up and share their opinions on the future of last-click rewarding. It's a huge talking point for 2016, and James Collins - MD of the group's attribution arm - led a discussion on its place in the current climate.
Another highlight of the day was TVTY's insight into moment marketing. Antoine de Kermel's knowledge and experiences about targeting audiences during specific periods of time led to a bridge between performance marketing and TV, which you can read all about here.
Another one of PI's personal highlights was the keynote session from digital marketing and social media expert Chris Perks on 'Getting On Board with the Growth Hacking Mindset'. Perks brought his own unique style of presenting to the Okura with an energetic tutorial on building a highly effective growth strategy - something touted to make huge waves in the boardrooms of some of the biggest groups going.
Things were brought to a close with zoned networking events, which saw delegates attached to biddable media, affiliate marketing and traffic generation linking up with professionals from their chosen area.
Awarding excellence
PMI also, for the first time ever, played host to the European Performance Marketing Awards; celebrating the achievements of companies across the region after a decade of doing the same in the UK.
Taking place in Hotel Krasnopolsky, the event rewarded the best teams, campaigns and technologies across the performance marketing industry. You can find out what happened on the night by reading about all the winners here.
You can also prepare for Day Two by checking out the agenda and finding out more about the keynote here.
We have also been covering PMI: Europe through our live blog and on Twitter. Keep on letting us know your thoughts using #PMIEUR.

Jarvis, the company at the centre of the Potters Bar rail crash inquiry, yesterday stepped up efforts to strengthen its boardroom with the appointment of Elizabeth Filkin, 62, the former parliamentary watchdog, as a non-executive director.
She joins Steven Norris, former Tory junior transport minister and unsuccessful London mayoral candidate, on the board of an infrastructure company struggling to contain the damage to its reputation and improve its corporate governance credentials.
The announcement of her appointment came at the company's annual meeting where the chairman, Paris Moayedi, said trading this year was in line with the company's expectations and shareholders approved a new executive incentive scheme with tougher targets and less generous severance criteria.
Mr Moayedi has been under pressure to bring a fresh look to the boardroom after being criticised for presiding over a "cosy set-up" and is seeking to balance the six executive members with a similar number of part-time directors. The appointment of Mrs Filkin brings the number to four.
Mrs Filkin achieved a formidable reputation as parliamentary standards commissioner between 1999 and 2002, facing criticism from some MPs for being too inquisitive. Her contract was not renewed.
Jarvis sources played down suggestions that she would have a "watchdog" role but the company believes her presence on the board, her Inland Revenue and Customs and Excise background and committee links with the Financial Services Authority will help raise confidence.
The company was responsible for maintaining the section of the Hatfield track where seven people died in a derailment at points which a Health and Safety Executive report said were in poor condition.

I could have finished out my career without ever having done so, and I would have retired a happy person. Once again, an apparent coward with a chip on his shoulder has decided to play judge, jury and executioner to many people who never even knew he existed. Lives were taken, and lives were forever changed.
Read the rest to get one responders' view. Good stuff.
Update: I wrote Philly in the headline, which was wrong. It's correct now.

Fish oil comes from the tissues of oily fish and is one of the richest sources of 2 essential omega-3 fatty acids, EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid). Our bodies need omega-3 fatty acids; however, since our bodies cannot manufacture them, we must get them either by the food we eat for example, sardines, tuna, salmon, mackerel, herring, bluefish and black cod, or by taking supplements.

When there are low levels of omega-3 in the body it may cause a variety of cognitive and mood problems some of which can be similar to ADHD symptoms.

ADHD and Omegas

Research shows that people living with ADHD have lower levels of omega-3 in their bodies compared to people who do not have ADHD. This does not mean that having low levels of omega-3 causes ADHD or that taking an omega supplement will cure ADHD. However, research shows that taking a supplement can improve your ADHD symptoms, which is great news.

Benefits of Omega-3 When You Have ADHD

There are many benefits to taking an omega-3 supplement:

Improvement of ADHD symptoms such as improved attention, ability to focus and memory.

May contribute to a reduction in the symptoms of coexisting ADHD conditions, such as anxiety, depression and bipolar disorder.

Possible reduction in side effects from stimulant medication prescribed for your ADHD. As always check with your doctor before taking supplements.

Many women with ADHD suffer from PMS, and their ADHD symptoms are exacerbated. Taking an omega-3 supplement can reduce PMS symptoms.

Improve your general health. When you are living with ADHD it is easy to forget other aspects of your health too. Omega-3 can help with cholesterol levels, heart health and decrease asthma symptoms.

Choosing a Supplement

There are 3 types of omega-3, ALA (alpha-linolenic acid), DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) and EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid). DHA and EPA are the ones found in fish and supplements and are usually prefered. ALA is found in plants, such a flax seed.

Fish oil supplements typically contain two types of fatty acids: eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). Look for capsules that contain at least three to four times the amount of EPAs as compared to DHAs.

Consult with your Doctor

Although Omega 3's are readily available at health foods and pharmacies , it is important to speak to your doctor before starting to take them. All supplements can have side effects and alter the way your body responds to medication prescribed by your doctor. Omegas can potentially "thin your blood" and may increate risks of bleeding, particularly at higher doses. They can also cause upset stomachs. Also, get your doctor's advice on the dosage of mega-3 to take. As with most things, you can have too much of a good thing. Taking large amounts of omega-3 can cause nose bleeds or hemorrhagic stroke.

Fish Burps

The term 'fish burps' usually makes people laugh. They are burps that taste like fish, even if you haven't eaten any fish. Some people do not actually burp but have a fishy aftertaste in their mouth. This side effect of taking omega supplements can be so unpleasant that people can stop taking their omega-3 supplements, which means they also stop getting the benefits they provide. If you are getting fish burps, there are a few options to try.

Look for enteric-coated omegas. These capsules have a thicker coating, which can help with burps.

Try an omega-3 liquid. The liquid is often flavored for example, with lemon, so that it tastes quite pleasant. The liquid form is also a good option if you have problems swallowing tablets.

Experiment with the time of day that you take your supplements. With your evening meal is often a good solution.

How Long Does it Take to Notice Improvements?

Brain scans show that omegas help your brain work more efficiently. It may take some time to see the potential benefits of omega-3 suppliments.

Century Club: Local woman's group to celebrate 100 years of community service
Published 3:00 pm, Friday, September 24, 2010
On December 17, the Woman's Club of Greenwich will turn 100. For nearly a century, the group has been addressing the community's civic and philanthropic needs -- from supporting a free milk program for undernourished school children in the 1930s, to working with servicemen and families during the World War II in the 1940s and providing facilities in the 1960s for Meals on Wheels.
In more recent years, the group has established an ongoing scholarship for graduating Greenwich High School students, helped put in a garden for seniors at Nathaniel Witherell and has supported groups that include Neighbor to Neighbor, YWCA Domestic Abuse Service, Call-A-Ride, Greenwich Adult Day Care, Greenwich Symphony Young People's Concerts, Dana's Angels Research Trust, and more.
Today, club members are out talking with town officials and responding to requests for assistance from the many not-for-profit and other organizations in the town of Greenwich to see where their help is most needed.
The Citizen caught up with members of the group to talk about the Club and its wide-ranging accomplishments over the last 100 years.
When was the club founded, and who founded it?
The Woman's Club of Greenwich was founded on Dec. 17, 1910 by a group of 14 woman who were interested in improving children's education and in taking an active part in community affairs. It was originally called the Mother's Club and in 1917 changed its name to The Woman's Club of Greenwich.
Why was it founded, and what is its mission?
The mission was then, and is now, to bring together women to promote civic, philanthropic and educational activities and exert helpful influence in the community.
Where do you meet, and how long have you been at that location?
The club meets at 89 Maple Ave., where we have met since l952.
What are some of the memorable fundraisers you have held, and what community programs did they benefit?
Memorable fundraisers include "Salute to Italian Designers," in 1950; "Holly Ball," from 1950 to 1980, the "Antique Show" in the 1980s; and the "House Tour" in 1990.
All proceeds have gone to fund our scholarships and philanthropies. Our second House Tour in 2009 was specifically organized to raise funds for a design garden at Nathaniel Witherell Rehabilitation and Nursing Center in Greenwich.
Currently our two fundraisers are "Appraisal Mania," which will be held on October 16 and "Holiday Boutique," to be held on Nov. 12 and 13.
What has the organization done to date to celebrate the anniversary?
On June 3, we held a Spring Tea and Open House to celebrate our 100th anniversary. The entire community was invited. Among the invitees were town officials and officers of the various organizations the club has aided.
Any plans for future events in honor of the 100th?
We have two upcoming events scheduled.
"Meet the Woman's Club Day - Past and Present," on Oct. 2, from 10 a.m. - 2 p.m., will be held on Greenwich Ave. in front of the Post Office. This event will demonstrate the various activities the club is now, and has been, involved in.
And, on Dec. 17, we are planning to hold a brunch for our members to celebrate the centennial.
What are some projects you currently have underway in the community?
Current projects include:
"¢ Finding ways to help in increasing the number of children enrolled in the Head Start Program
"¢ Finding volunteers for the elementary schools in "Reading for Champions" program
"¢ Finding volunteers to help with elementary and high school math programs
"¢ Holding an ESL training course at the Club for the community
"¢ Planning a joint venture Garden Tour with McCardle's Garden Center, which is also celebrating its 100th
"¢ A sale of "Precious Treasures" donated by members.
How do you become a member, and how many members do you have?
You become a member by filing an application that one can obtain from the Club's Secretary. All women are welcome to join. We have about 130 members. We would like to increase our membership to help further our philanthropies.
What would you say is the age range of members?
The age range is 40-plus. However, there is no upper or lower age requirement.
How often do you meet?
The general membership meets once a month. The various committees and special interest groups (Gardeners, Bridge Group, Out to Lunch Group, Theater Group, Scrabble Group, Book Discussion Group, Crafts Group, Knitting, etc.) meet throughout the month.
How do you come up with projects to undertake/
Various ways of keeping abreast of social service and educational need of the community - reading local papers; speaking to town officials; responding to specific requests. Also, members of the club who are active in other organizations may bring projects to our attention.
Who has been a member for the longest, and for how long?
Irene Martin, who has been a member since the 1960s.

Senior Day has now come and gone and we played our last series at Alfred D. Boyer Stadium. It was an exciting moment to see all of the seniors you have grown so close with and be able to share that moment with their friends and families. We had stellar performances from two seniors, Rich Mascheri and Dustin Hunter as both threw complete games, while Rich threw a shutout and Dustin recorded 15 strikeouts. Although this season has not gone as we had planned, there are many great things that will be remembered from this season and three great years with the Purple Army.
Throughout my time here I have learned so many lesson and gained lasting relationships that extend well beyond the baseball field. This senior class is so privileged to have played with many great players and coaches and we will never forget what being a Leatherneck has brought to our lives.
As we finish out the season at Illinois State and South Dakota State many of us will be playing baseball for the last time. We all understand that we are going to play hard and finish the season strong for each other, as I would consider each of my teammates like a brother. I am happy to say that I am and always will be a Leatherneck and the color purple will be the sexiest color in my wardrobe.
Senior Pitcher Chris Macek
"A hundred years from now it will not matter what my bank account was, the house I lived in, or the kind of car I drove… but what will matter is the amount of time I put into making purple sexy."

Musharraf's credibility has eroded: Ex-ISI chief
Sheela Bhatt in Mumbai | July 10, 2007 19:54 IST
Last Updated: July 11, 2007 00:49 IST
Will Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf [Images] gain from the Lal Masjid operation?
"Oh no! He may be a hero of the operation in Lal Masjid for outsiders and for the neo-liberals who have no commitments and remain happy irrespective of other people's plight," said Asad Durrani, former chief of Pakistan's Inter Services Intelligence, speaking to rediff.com on phone from his Rawalpindi residence.
Durrani said the Musharraf government's military operations against jihadi elements in the tribal areas and the Lal Masjid issue are interconnected.
Giving his views on the dramatic events in Islamabad, Durrani said, "There was uncertainty because of the military operations in Waziristan, Balochistan and Banjaur. We have seen violence in Karachi, too.
"The point is that our own people have died in these operations. These are tribal people. They don't reconcile or sit back. They react and they react quickly. Sometimes they take time. Tribals have their own sense of timelessness. To their woes when you add judicial and political issues, you will see that they are all connected to the current crisis."
"All the time you people are talking of madrassas. I am looking at the other fact. Most students inside Lal Masjid were tribals," Durrani added.
Durrani warned that there could be reactions in the tribal areas of Pakistan to the operation in Lal Masjid.
Although Durrani, who has a lot of experience within the Pakistani establishment, didn't say it in so many words, he was against such a military operation which has seen high casualties.
"In principle one would never say such an operation was necessary. If I comment on the military operation, I would say the final operation should have been quick and short, but this operation was not over even after seven to eight hours. Maybe not enough information was available before it started. When something is building up, you work patiently, get more information, plant your people there, and have a dialogue," he said.
Durrani argued that people who were living around the masjid area, relatives of children who were inside the masjid and politically inclined people supported the military operation against the masjid.
Does Durrani think Western nations will appreciate Musharraf's operation against the radicals?
"The West is the least of our concerns. These are our people. These are our internal developments.
"Second, you must note that radical elements grow when you don't deliver good governance. Once any government tackles the radicals or the Taliban, people's sympathy for them always increases. Regardless of their ideology, when the government kills people it creates a reaction," he said.
When asked if the situation would give Musharraf an excuse to impose emergency, Durrani said nothing could be ruled out, but chances are less than 50 per cent because "that would also mean that the last few years of his rule failed."
"Musharraf's credibility has eroded. When his reign began, his credibility was high, after 9/11 the graph went higher. After the recent judicial crisis, it nosedived. Now, after the attack on Lal Masjid it may go up slightly, but will plummet quickly. The operation in Lal Masjid will have a cumulative impact and it will also impact the global war on terrorism."

Those guys at Meantime Brewing in Greenwich love craft beer and, as if you wanted proof, they will be serving more than 150 different varieties of the world's best at their BrewFest later this month.
The Old Brewery in the grounds of the Old Royal Naval College is the setting for the three day event from Saturday, August 23, to Monday, August 25, which will feature international brews, tastings and music.
Meantime's marketing director Richard Myers said: "We started Brewfest as a celebration of the international craft beer scene – showcasing the quality beers and brewers that have helped turn around the fortunes of the beer category.
"The second annual event in May was such a success that we've decided to hold the event twice this year.
"Our aim is to bring different styles and flavours from around the globe into one place for people to enjoy, in a relaxed environment.
"The beer scene in London has never been stronger and it's modern craft that is driving this revival. BrewFest is our way of celebrating."
Three bars will serve beers from the UK, America and the rest of Europe, with rare brews through to firm favourites on offer.
As well as the chance to sample them, there will be experts on hand to suggest foods to go with them.

Continued from page 3
All majors in the interior-design department work at Gold Mantis as interns and take an overseas trip that costs the company a total of almost $100,000 a year, according to Dean Wu Yongfan. Although some universities in China have schools donated by businesses, he knew of none where the interaction with the donor is as close as between Gold Mantis and Suzhou University. "It is very special and effective, and benefits society, the company and the school," says Wu. In June Gold Mantis added support for post-doctorate research there.
Another source of help may be foreigners. Gold Mantis doesn't do much work overseas but taps into foreign help at home. One hire: Terry Arthur Henriksen, who had taken on projects in China from time to time in a career that spanned more than three decades before he agreed to work full-time for Gold Mantis a year ago on hospitality-industry buildings at the company's headquarters. He is designing the interiors for corporate clubhouses, the Lamborghini hotel chain in China and other buildings.
The big difference between working in the U.S. and working for a Chinese company is the brisk speed at which work gets done in the mainland, Henriksen says. That is because interior-design projects will get started with 3-D renderings of the work, rather than first going through a slower, more traditional planning route that involves the architect, he says.
Henriksen adds that the rising demand from developers will result in better planning for interior spaces in China because it will lead to savings on staffing and spending when facilities open.
With some of the projects he's taken on since joining Gold Mantis not yet completed, Henriksen initially pauses before judging his own work. "I think it will turn out great," he finally says, another follower of the gutsy mantis that stood up to a Chinese king along a roadside here long ago.

Skip to comments.Michigan black student union: physical action if seven demands not met in one week
Posted on 01/22/2014 10:03:19 PM PST by ~Pandora
Members of the University of Michigan Black Student Union said they would have to resort to physical action if a list of seven demands issued on Martin Luther King Day are not met within seven days, The Ann Arbor News reported.
If negotiations are not complete we will be forced to do more, beginning to increase valiantly our activism for social progress and take physical actions on the University of Michigans campus, said senior Shayla Scales to a group of students gathered on campus, according to the Ann Arbor News.
The seven demands, read aloud by an activist associated with the union after a speech by entertainer and activist Harry Belafonte, included calls for more control over the Black Student Unions budget, more housing for lower-income students, a new multicultural student center, the requirement of classes teaching all students about the historical treatment of minorities, access to emergency scholarships for minority students, increased exposure to library materials and a requirement that 10 percent of the campus be represented by black students.
Besides the speech by Belafonte, who has recently compared conservative business leaders to the Ku Klux Klan at a rally for New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio, the social justice activist group By Any Means Necessary, which strongly advocates affirmative action policies, also rallied on campus, blocking traffic in the process.
Mondays demands come two months after the Black Student Union began a Twitter campaign with the hashtag #BBUM. The hashtag, which stands for Being Black at Michigan, trended nationally and was a response to a campus fraternitys plans to hold a Hood Ratchet Thursday party.
(Excerpt) Read more at dailycaller.com ...
Any one that get hurt as a result of this should sue the pants off the affirmative action students.
They going to play "knockout" on some unsuspecting elderly white people?
Notice the cowards don't confront people their own size and age?
I have an idea. Expel the trouble makers and have them all arrested.
Do we have a countdown clock?
This never would have happened if KFC was the official caterer of the union.
I have a better idea. Midnight basketball!
"...a requirement that 10 percent of the campus be represented by black students."
A power grab. Everything else is a distraction.
effing morons.
like obama and everyone destroying our country, i hope they fail.
kfc!?! try popeyes.
this meets the legal definition of Terrorist Threats, a felony
Totally agree.
Probably "Being Black at the University of Michigan"
Popeye's only applies if it's Tuesday. Line up on their $1.29 breast and thigh Tuesdays and you'll find out.
This is actually what should be done. Inform those issuing threats that the administration will not be coerced into any policy changes, and any student who engages in "physical action" will immediately be expelled and subjected to any applicable criminal charges. However, this is the Univ of Michigan and its spineless Liberal leaders and faculty will quite probably cave to the mau mau tactics of the black agitators.
That was my first thought as well.
Black student activism ping
This is from the article:
The BBUM campaign, as difficult as it was to hear, has been incredibly insightful. We hear you, and we are making changes, said University of Michigan president Mary Sue Coleman before Belafontes talk, The Ann Arbor News reported.

Ryder Cup 'pointless' for Tiger as he admits he isn't fit
I wouldn't win a game, says Woods as he reveals he won't return until December
Tiger Woods didn't have to dwell long over his decision to pull out of the US Ryder Cup team.
Woods hasn't hit a golf ball since missing the cut at the US PGA and won't swing a club for the next month, rendering inevitable his withdrawal from the showdown with Europe in five weeks.
Tiger took his name out of the reckoning because he didn't feel capable of winning even a point for Tom Watson's American side.
As Woods explained that he'll not be fit enough to return to competitive golf until December, he left a large question mark over his decision to rush back into action this summer, barely three months after undergoing back surgery.
Clearly, Tiger's anxiety to renew his lifelong pursuit of the record 18 Majors won by Jack Nicklaus at Hoylake and Valhalla, two venues where he prevailed in his heyday, over-rode ongoing concern for his ailing back.
"Physically, I couldn't do it," Woods said of the Ryder Cup. "I wouldn't be ready. Not being able to be there for my team-mates, the captain, assistant captain and everyone that's involved in the event, I just couldn't help the team.
"When your name is called, you have to be able to go out there and get a point and I just didn't feel I could be ready enough to get a point. So it's time to shut it down, get stronger, get more explosive and get back for next year."
As for his injury, he said: "Generally it's getting better, of that there is no doubt. We've got it all calmed down.
"Now we're in the strengthening-up process and I probably won't be swinging a club for another month, though I'm getting stronger each and every day.
"We're in the gym two or three times a day, I've got my physios and my trainer there. Then we're going to introduce dynamic training again and (work on) my explosiveness.
"Anyway, that's down the road. Let's just get this thing stronger first. Basically, I've got three or four months off where I get to be physically fit and when I come back, I'll be explosive again and stable."
Woods missed the cut when he made a blatantly premature return to PGA Tour action in June's Quicken Loans National, the tournament he hosts at Congressional.
After an impressive first-round 69 at July's Open, he slumped into a tie for 69th at Hoylake; he pulled out of Sunday's final round at The Bridgestone with back spasms then, five days later and still physically challenged, failed to make the weekend at the US PGA.
"Obviously this year was frustrating in that I didn't really feel that I gave myself much of a chance. I first had that pain in my back and it would go away, and then it would come back, go away, come back, until eventually it never went away," he explained.
"It got fixed, but I took that fall on number two at the (WGC-Bridgestone Invitational) and I hadn't done any agility training yet so my hip got misaligned and everything went into spasm again.
"We got that all calmed down again but then I had to play. Now I need to keep it calm, then strengthen it and then I'll be back. That's one of the reasons I've shut it down. I'll come back in December and be ready for next year."

Olympia: Episode One . A master of darkness...a team of justice seekers...a city in fear...Welcome to Olympia... . Mr. Parker Pyne is an enigma to most: is he a private detective in the same league as Sherlock Holmes? Is he a treasure-seeker like the famed Johnny Thunder? Or is he simply a man with a higher-than average intellect? The truth is, Mr. Parker Pyne does not fit the established mold of any of these characteristics. Born and raised in Oceania, Parker Pyne joined the Officer Corps before the outbreak of the Great War. Acting as a battalion commander during the war, he distinguished himself admirably in Olympia's defense and was honorably discharged after the war. Settling down in his simple, yet elegant flat in Upper Olympia, Mr. Parker Pyne solves crimes, mysteries, and puzzles too great for the overworked, incompetent, and corrupt Authorities. Despite his vast wealth from solving crimes and puzzling occurrences, Mr. Pyne has only one servant: Poirot. Well-disciplined, extremely vain, and a jack-of-all trades, the diminutive Poirot serves as Pyne's butler, chef, secretary, chauffeur, and barber, all without a twitch of his little mustache. Not much of Poirot's past is known; he only speaks the dead-language French and he refuses to talk about his former life. However, his unquestioning devotion to Mr. Pyne has led some to suspect the detective once saved his life. From the case notes of Mr. Parker Pyne: As I sit here writing these notes, I cannot but feel the despair hanging over my city. I feel so helpless in the wake of this evil to which I had been blind to as of late. It is true that my deductive skills were being put to much more use as the wave of troubles spread. I often wondered about the increase in crime, the prevalence of poverty, and the government's insistence on allowing terror weapons to float over Olympia, but I could not find a connection between any of them. Indeed, if it hadn't been for the murder of the famed inventor Nikola Tesla, I would never have been drawn into this conspiracy of masterful proportions. I will never forget the night that changed my life: it was late and I was in my favorite pub when the inventor himself unexpectedly sat down next to me. Before I could show my surprise at his appearance, he told me he had heard of me, of my integrity and unique set of skills. He then hurriedly pressed a key into my hand and made me swear that if anything should happen to him, I would go to his private warehouse, gain access to it, and destroy the machine within. I was taken aback by this strange request, and asked Tesla who he was afraid of; �Oblivion�, he whispered. And as quickly as he appeared, he left. The next day, Nikola Tesla was found dead, shot in his laboratory. When I heard the news, I immediately rang up Poirot to bring my car around and we set off at high speed for Tesla's warehouse in the wooded Fromton region. But I was not prepared for what I found... It was empty! The facility�s roof had a large hole in it, as if something of incalculable power had blasted it open and carefully removed the object within. Who could have done this? Thoughts raced through my head...the crime wave...Tesla's secret project...the new Floating Fortresses...and the Ministry of Justice then-being constructed...I suddenly realized they were all connected. But how? My course of action is clear: I must follow this web of evil and stop it at all costs. I fear Tesla was not the first victim; indeed, this conspiracy may have been in place far before Tesla's untimely demise. But I cannot rely on The Authorities for help; too many have been corrupted. No, I must form my own team...a team of incorruptible specialists in various fields to save my city...and I know just who I shall contact first... To be continued...

I'm proud to announce Twin Cities Maker will be the host of Swap-O-Rama Rama Sunday September 11, 2011 from 11am to 7pm! SORR has been hosted in many cities across the country, including the San Fran Maker Faire, but this will be a first for MN. We will be needing volunteers to help run this event. Of course having individuals able to sew will help but there are many other opportunities to participate. Anyone who wants to help with the planning of the event please contact email@example.com!
Clean out your closets
SWAP-O-RAMA-RAMA is Here!
Pass it on
$5 and any sized bag of your clean unwanted clothing or $10 without donation
"There is no beauty in the finest cloth if it makes hunger and unhappiness." Gandhi
Join in the communal process of reuse and celebrate our collective creativity! You are invited to Swap-O-Rama-Rama, a giant clothing swap and series of do-it-yourself workshops in which a community explores reuse and creativity through the recycling of used clothing.
It's easy to make the move from consumer to creator - and it's fun. At this Swap-O-Rama-Rama you'll find a host of talent brought together to teach you how to transform your new/used duds into works of your own. Together they bring you: DIY Stations where you can learn many wonderful ways to create out of textile reuse, Sewing Stations where local designers will teach you fresh clothing mod tricks, on site Silk Screeners & Stencilers with a host of original designs and extraordinary local designers who'll show off their work in the Swap-O-Rama-Rama reuse fashion show.
Of course the core of the swap is the gigantic piles of free clothing (several thousand pounds!) sorted into categories: pants, shirts, skirts, sweaters etc. These piles are the collective total of each guest's contribution of any size bag of unwanted clothes so clean out those closets and let go of what's no longer inspiring. Take home as much clothing as you can carry. Remainders go to a local charity.
Wondering what to bring?
* clothes you bought and never wore
* small stuff you bought while thinking "I'll fit in to this one day"
* tragic shopping mistakes
* well worn and loved items that have exceeded their stay in the closet
* unloved gifts that you held on to out of obligation
Bring: Clothes in season: jackets, wallets, hats, pants,shirts, skirts, shoes, gloves, belts, accessories, jewelry, sunglasses, bags, costumes, lingere, pjs etc. Only clothes please!

Gregg Popovich sent his best players home, deciding they reached the end of the road before the trip was over.
For that, and for keeping it a secret, the San Antonio Spurs were fined $250,000 by the NBA on Friday.
Commissioner David Stern said the Spurs "did a disservice to the league and our fans" when they didn't bring Tim Duncan, Tony Parker, Manu Ginobili or Danny Green to Miami for the final game of the six-game trip.

The failfast mechanism panics a failed node, but it does not prevent the failed node from rebooting. After the panic, the node might reboot and attempt to rejoin the cluster.
If a node loses connectivity to other nodes in the cluster, and it is not part of a partition that can achieve quorum, it is forcibly removed from the cluster by another node. Another node that is part of the partition that can achieve quorum places reservations on the shared disks. The node that does not have quorum then panics as a result of the failfast mechanism.

Using Orbz in the past blocked an inordinate amount of email I needed to get. That's the only reason I said that about accuracy. You've read far too much into this. In fact, I use them currently with spamcop, and so far they are not blocking systems that used to be blocked. > Sorry if your freinds choose to use known open relays..... :-) They don't choose. They use the only ISP available to them in most cases. Same for me.

That's worked for the local ISPs pretty well. The problem though is that some major sites still run open relays and refuse to fix them. Many of them even claim that they cannot run without them being open. A lot of this is due to them using some Windows server software that is broken by design. In any case, many end users really cannot do much about it. In such situations I try to find a way to make their decision painful for them if possible, or report them to someone who will embarrass them enough to get something changed. Public opinion right now is such that I believe public notice of open relays might do some good. I think that is the approach Spamhaus is using. Not sure if it's affective or not. They list AOL, Bell Atlantic, and other major providers as still running open relays and refusing to fix them. > I also use lists of known spam sources, such as bl.spamcop.net, to block > SMTP connections, since as I mentioned I don't like spam e-mail very > much, and my mail servers host domains that seem to be very highly > targetted by spammers despite the relatively few mailboxes they host.

I've got a combination of white lists, header analysis filters, and all mailing lists are filtered out to subfolders after the spam checks. The problem is the spammers are getting around it: * rapidly changing accounts and header strings so filters out outdated * they are often now sending spam directly from their machine from places that don't enforce anti-spam regulations * the volume is increasing all the time * mailing list spam is getting worse in some ways * my system has it's own MX record, and some old list reflector and user accounts get spam regularly Number 2 is the worst new one, because they can change where they are coming from constantly, and since the spam goes directly to you, some header filters and blacklists are inneffective. I'm really, really surprised that more spammers aren't going the direct route. You can get by a lot of filters like that. I got a spamcop account to see how well it works. Mail from my upstream hosts is forwarded there, and I fetch mail from there instead to my local LAN. -- email@example.com _________________________________________________ ______________________/ armchairrocketscientistgraffitiexenstentialist "And in billows of might swell the Saxons before her,-- Unite, oh unite!

I found this vintage mussel dish on ebay.
It's kinda ugly in an interesting sort of way. I believe it was made in France in the 1950s by Vallauris.
Have you ever heard the saying "some days you're the pigeon and other days you're the statue?" How about "some days you're the dog and other days you're the hydrant?" Well, I've got another one for you — some days you're the seagull and other days you're the mussel. Seagulls have a taste for mussels and other shellfish. To get at the meat inside the shell, they carry the mussel high in the air, and then drop it on rocks below. They do this over and over until the shell finally cracks open, and then they feast. (A nice video of this, with some sea lions as an added bonus, can be seen here.)
After certain unpleasant and entirely fascinating recent events in American politics, I think we all might feel a little mussel-like, as if we'd been repeatedly dropped on sharp rocks until a seagull can come and pick our innards out. This feeling, together with the mussel dish, is the inspiration for this recipe for Spicy Mussels in White Wine.
On Fridays and Saturdays, the Costco near me has a sort of pop-up seafood shop, and they almost always have 3-pound bags of beautiful Prince Edward Island ("PEI") mussels — rarely a broken shell in the whole bunch. In researching mussels, I learned that the size of the mussel varies with the season — they are largest in October and smallest in March. If a batch of mussels appears to be different colors, don't worry — pale white meat indicates a male mussel, and a warmer, more orangey colour, a female. (Yep, another step closer to being Cliff Clavin.)
This recipe is quick and easy, and is a delicious light meal any time of year. Crusty bread is, of course, mandatory for sopping up the broth. For times when you are perhaps feeling mussel-like, a soothing, steaming, savory bowl of mussels in white wine will help you feel like you are soaring with the seagulls in no time, at least momentarily.
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- ½ medium onion, chopped
- 3 large garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried crushed red pepper
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup dry white wine
- 2¼"-thick slices of lemon
- 2 pounds fresh mussels, scrubbed and debearded (discard any broken shells or that won't close)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- ¼ cup chopped fresh parsley
- ½ cup chopped seeded tomatoes
- Heat oil in a large stockpot over medium-high heat. Add onion, garlic, crushed red pepper, and salt, and saute until onion is golden, approximately 4-5 minutes. Add wine and lemon and bring to a boil over high heat. Add mussels and cook, covered, until mussels open, stirring once to rearrange mussels, approximately 6 minutes. Discard any mussels that do not open. Using a slotted spoon, transfer mussels to individual serving bowls. Boil liquid remaining in pot until reduced to 1 cup, approximately 3 minutes. Season broth to taste with salt and pepper. Pour broth over mussels. Sprinkle with parsley and tomatoes, and serve hot.
- (Note: Have lots of crusty bread on hand to sop up the broth.)

Julian Assange has failed dismally in his bid to get elected in Australia.
Assange, who is currently living in a renovated loo in the Venezuelan embassy in London, is trying to avoid being extradited to Sweden to face questioning about alleged sex offences.
Strangely Aussie voters were underwhelmed by Assange's winning personality and comedy electioneering and he failed to get enough votes to get a seat in the Victorian senate.
As an indication of how badly he did, the Wikileaks Party has little more than one percent of the vote, ironically trailing behind the "Australian Sex Party".
According to Business Insider, he lost out to the rather obscure special interest party the "Australian Motoring Enthusiasts Party" which is like losing to Tarquin Fin-tim-lim-bim-whin-bim-lim-bus-stop-F'tang-F'tang-Olè-Biscuitbarrel of the Silly Party.
Assange's election campaign was a cock-up from start to finish. Not only did he run a series of unfunny adverts where he actually tried to do a Justin Beiber to John Farnam's the Voice, he also put right wing nutjobs on its voting ticket.
The move seriously hurt the party's credibility with its more left wing base. A number of campaign staff resigned over the move, which was later admitted as a mistake.

Metal Blade's Brian Slagel Reflects on the Label's 30 Years in the Business
Hip hop has Russell Simmons and his Def Jam Records legacy. When it comes to rhythm and blues, Ahmet Ertegun and his work at Atlantic Records helped bring artists like Ray Charles and Aretha Franklin to the mainstream in the '50s and '60s. But when it comes to heavy metal, few have done more for the genre than Metal Blade Records founder Brian Slagel.
"When it comes down to it, we're just huge fans of heavy metal and everything we've done in the past 30 years has been out of a love for the music," Slagel tells Noisecreep.
The 51-year-old is on the line with us discussing Metal Blade's 30th anniversary. It's hard to believe, but the Southern California-based label's first release – a 1982 compilation called Metal Massacre – featured a then unknown local act called Metallica. Although the landmark album also included a track from Sunset Strip heroes Ratt, Slagel has largely steered clear of the more overtly commercial bands of the past few decades.
"The glam metal scene got really huge in the '80s, but I didn't want to sign those kinds of artists because it's not the kind of stuff I listen to. It wouldn't have been true to what I love. Back in the '80s, the music I listened to was the opposite of that hair metal stuff – sound wise and image wise – and there was never a moment where I felt like I had to sign those kinds of groups because they were selling well. I just didn't care," says Slagel.
Watch Fates Warning's "Silent Cries" Video
Throughout its rich history, Metal Blade has issued groundbreaking albums from the likes of Slayer, Fates Warning, Between the Buried and Me and countless others, but Slagel feels some releases slipped through the cracks: "I think Lizzy Borden and Armored Saint should be much bigger, commercially, than they are. But I realized early on that it's not just about the music most of the time. An album's success sometimes has to do with the timing of its release and the people the band is aligned with. Sometimes it's just pure luck. I can think of many bands in the history of the label that I think should have been more popular, but those are just two examples."
Watch Lizzy Borden's "Under Your Skin" Video
In Metal Blade's early days, Slagel would sometimes take things personally when an album wouldn't take commercially: "I would pour my heart and soul into every single aspect of each release, especially the first 10 years of the label. So yeah, it really hurt when an album wouldn't do well for us. But I've learned that you have to have a thick skin in order to survive in this business. It's like that age-old idea that if you get knocked off the horse, you have to dust yourself off and get back on it. I was so young when we started this label and I've learned so much about that aspect of it throughout years."
Watch Artists Congratulate Metal Blade on Its 30th Anniversary
Slagel tells Noisecreep that he's had well over 200 employees come through the Metal Blade offices through its first three decades and admits that it wasn't always easy to find the right people to help him bring his vision to life: "We've been lucky in the last 10-15 years to have a great staff here in the offices. But in the early days, I brought in a lot of friends to work at the label and you learn that it's not always the best thing to do that. During a certain part of the '80s, we probably had 40 people working in the office at the same time. We've also had 13 different people that came out of Metal Blade than went on to work at major labels after the left us."
30 years in and Metal Blade shows no signs of slowing down: "We're actually mapped out the release schedule into 2013. There are a lot of great albums in the works. We generally try and have one big release come out each month. We work closely with the bands, managers and booking agents to make sure every release gets the right push. I can't wait for everyone to see what we have coming out!"
Head to this link to check out a fantastic new bio on Metal Blade's history and head here for some cool contesting and sale items in celebration of the label's 30th anniversary. Also, Brian asked us to mention his Twitter handle @BrianSlagel so you guys can keep up with his various projects, travels and hockey-related tweets!

Google Voice on Android – The Revolution Continues
Google continues to change our world and Google voice is no exception. Google voice is currently available upon invite only but then again gmail used to be that way too. Your friends that already have Google voice cannot send you an invite but you can request an invite directly from Google. Visit www.google.com/voicefor more info on requesting an invite.
What is Google Voice? Google Voice (GV for short) is unlike anything else on the market. Combining voip technology with google innovation, GV provides a simple solution to communicating with your various contacts around the world.
You first choose a number from the large selection provided. This is super innovative as you can search for a specific string of numbers if you choose. Then you enter all of your existing phone numbers including your home phone, cell, work, etc. Here is where it gets fun.
You set up a default setting for numbers that are not listed in your contacts. These settings include a voicemail greeting and where to route their calls (your cell, work, home, etc). Then you setup custom voicemail greetings and settings for groups of contacts. Perhaps you would like family members to always be routed to your cell and hear a more personal voicemail greeting. Work associates on the other hand can be routed to your work line and receive a more professional greeting. When people leave a voicemail message you get an email with the audio as well as a transcripted text of the voicemail message.
In addition your contacts can send you text messages and these will be routed to your cell phone where you can reply. All this without your contacts ever knowing your cell phone number. You can give everyone the same phone number and design a back system to route them accordingly. Its genius!
You can also access all your texts and voice-mails by logging into your gv account on your computer. The dashboard is very much like gmail where you can label and archive voice-mails and texts alike.
One more thing! In comparing GV's international calling rates with those of Skype and Magicjack I found GV to be cheaper to call countries that I call. To make an international call I only need to login to my online account and enter the number and click call. GV will then call the number and my cell phone connecting me to the call.
What is the Google Voice App for Android? The recently released official GV app for android brings all the great settings described above right to your cell.
Features include:
1. Make international call via GV right from your cell phone using GV's cheap rates.
2. Send and receive text messages via your GV number/account.
3. Listen to & read GV voicemails.
4. Add call credit (for international calls) right from the phone.
The possibilities become endless!!!!

When you win despite giving up 350 yards passing while getting only 105 yourself, despite giving up 30 first downs while getting only 14 and despite causing just one turnover, maybe Lady Luck is smiling on you.
Either that, or you're doing something very well in another area. That other area for Stanford on Saturday night was special teams.
In a 31-28 win that win down to the final 76 seconds, the Cardinal dominated Washington on the kickoff and punt coverage units.
Ty Montgomery took advantage of freshman Cameron Van Winkle's line-drive kickoffs and less than zealous coverage by the Huskies to uncork a 99-yard return for a touchdown on the opening play and a 68-yarder in the third quarter to set up another touchdown.
"That always helps when they're kicking line drives,'' Montgomery said. "It helps give you time as a return team to get your return set up.''
Barry Sanders contributed a 29-yard punt return on his first shot at that role.
Meanwhile, the Cardinal held the Huskies to an 18.0-yard average on kickoff returns and just 3.8 on punts. Punter Ben Rhyne outpunted counterpart Travis Coons by five yards, with a long boot of 58. Jordan Williamson reached the end zone on all five of his kickoffs, including three for touchbacks, and made his only field goal try.
All in all, it was a banner day by coordinator Pete Alamar's special teams. The only real slip-up was a well-executed fake punt on which Coons ran 19 yards to keep a scoring drive alive.
Rhyne and Williamson "have done a phenomenal job,'' head coach David Shaw said. He said kickoff and punt coverage have to start with "getting the right kick that goes in the right place with the right hang time."
That said, he called Montgomery "the difference in the ballgame.'' The muscular 6-2 junior wide receiver gained 125 yards the first two times Stanford touched the ball. After his opening return, he went 26 yards on an end-around on the first scrimmage play.
Just before halftime, he gathered in an artful 39-yard touchdown bomb from Kevin Hogan. "He's only going to get better,'' Shaw said. "He's just scratching the surface.''
Despite Montgomery's heroics, the game was there for Washington to win at the end. Keith Price, who can extend plays the way Ted Cruz can draw out his sentences on the Senate floor, wouldn't quit even though Stanford led by 10 points three times.
His short touchdown pass to Jaydon Mickens with 2:38 left, following a 40-yard completion to Kasen Williams, cut the lead to three points and made Stanford fans squirm. A last-ditch Husky effort ended when a fourth-down pass to Kevin Smith, ruled complete on the field for what would have been a first down at the Stanford 33, was judged a trap on a replay review with 1:16 left.
Price tried to get off a snap before the officials could halt play for the review but was a tick too late.
"I wish the game would have gotten won on the field,'' UW coach Steve Sarkisian said, "and not in the booth upstairs with some guy that didn't get to feel the emotion and the hard‑fought football game that that game was."
He said he thought the call looked too hard to overturn but said, "I didn't get to sit 50 yards up in a booth and play a video game and make a call."
Price didn't blame the officials. "We just have to play better,'' he said. "We were so close to winning a game we thought we could win.''
