When it comes to naturally beautiful countertops, it's hard to beat the warmth and character of wood. Before you opt for wood as a counter surface, though, it's helpful to know its benefits and drawbacks. Read on to find out if wood countertops are the right choice for you.
What woods can be used for countertops?
While maple and bamboo may be the most popular species on account of their availability and sustainability, many hardwoods are equally well-suited for countertops. A lot has to do with the look and use or regional preferences. Local woods, such as mesquite in the Southwest, can perform just as well as black walnut or cherry. Many FSC-certified or reclaimed woods are also good choices and meet LEED certification guidelines for sustainability. Softwoods like pine are generally not appropriate or high-performing.
What makes wood a good countertop material?
It is readily available and sustainable and comes in an endless variety of colors, species, shapes and finishes. It's warmer to the touch than any other counter surface. It can be cut, fabricated, and installed easily by a carpenter, so it may be less expensive and faster to procure than stone and solid surface alternatives. The color and character of wood countertops improve with age. And it can be sanded, refinished, and touched up with relative ease.
What are its pros?
You can cut and eat and do almost anything on wood countertops. It's also quieter; you won't hear banging or clinking sounds when pans or glasses are placed on it (and breakage is less likely should glasses or other items fall). Wood is not vulnerable to citrus, as some stones are, and many species are naturally heat-resistant. When properly sealed, wood countertops also offer natural, anti-bacterial benefits. Lastly, with so many looks—striped, end-grain cubes, solid tops with "live edge" detailing—wood countertops are as comfortable in modern kitchens as they are in traditional ones.
Its cons?
The best finishes are the natural ones that require oiling 2-3 times a year—or more. Some people don't like so-called live finishes. Wood must also be kept dry around sink areas and after spills.
What about cost?
Well-fabricated solid butcher block or wood countertops are made to order and use high-grade woods that have been dried and sorted for long wear. All surfaces must be carefully finished with multiple coats of oil or sealer prior to installation to prevent damage from water or heat. Cost of materials is in the range of $50-$100 per square foot, but this price varies depending on location and species. Talk to a reputable installer to get more detailed information.

Imagine Dragons - Night Visions [LP][Lavender] Vinyl
Historically, there's a progression that bands usually follow before their sound goes full-on arena rock. Things will start small and gritty, and then as the fame and crowds build, the sound changes to match the massiveness of the venues. However, on their debut album, Imagine Dragons buck tradition and swing straight for the cheap seats, doing away with generations of sonic evolution in favor of the huge, arena-made sound of Night Visions. Dramatic and sweeping, the Las Vegas band works in the same vein as pop giants Coldplay, offering up track after track of hooky and emotional midtempo jams. While a move like this might seem overly ambitious for a freshman band, Imagine Dragons are able to pull the sound off, with songs like the already ubiquitous, seemingly soundtrack-ready "It's Time" having no trouble worming their way into whatever part of the brain it is that likes to trap songs against listeners' will. The problem is, while the band's electronically reinforced sound is definitely big, it sometimes feels as though it lacks depth. Despite this, "Every Night" will certainly have some listeners unconsciously reaching for a lighter to wave in the air before they realize what they're doing, and it's exactly these kinds of surface pleasures that we turn to pop music for in the first place. What this means is that even though Imagine Dragons might have skipped a few steps along the way to their arena sound, Night Visions is still an album that, at least for a few minutes at a time, will make everyday life seem just a little bit bigger. ~ Gregory Heaney

Great moustaches in rock: Ferry and Dylan
It"s true, we don"t normally think of Bryan Ferry"s upper lip as being follicularly ornamented. And if we did, we likely should want to banish the memory of the image into that remote password-protected folder buried in the operating system of our sub-conscious that produces what we hope to be infrequent nightmares. What was Bryan Ferry hoping to communicate with his "tache? A vain man, he must have believed his ineffectual snotbreaker added a certain je ne parlez français pas to his extravagant elegance.
And who of us with the powers of beard growth have not fancied ourselves with a moustache? Maybe a thin Clark Gable number to exude the confidence of a particularly manly man"s man? Perhaps a robust Freddy Mercury, protruding macho-like from a luxuriant overbite? Maybe a Ron Jeremy porntache to camouflage the sleazy curl of the lip? Or go the whole hog and grow a Lemmy horseshoe for good luck, hoping it will evade the facial warts that lend character to a booze-worn face.
Some men, after a few razor-free weeks, might have in the process of removing the growth experimented with various temporary beard styles. First the goatee (for the geography teacher or communist icon look). Then applying razor to chin to create the Lemmy, noting with some embarrassment that our sense of symmetry is stunted when it comes to the art of barberism. So the jowlmask goes, but slowly, piece by piece, because we need to pay brief homage to the droopy "70s porn actor look as perfected by Italian producer Giorgio Moroder (pictured). Damn symmetry again.
And so we arrive at a probably uneven Mercury, tweaking here and there until we face the most abstruse question in all endeavours involving mucking around with overgrown stubble: shall the next step be the Clark Gable or the Hitler? If you are like me, you will pick the Hitler toothbrush look for pure comedy effect and "hilarious" photo opportunity (never to show that picture to anyone!). If you look like Clark Gable, you go for a Gable, naturally (after all, even Gable would have looked preposterous with a Hitler "tache).
And so it must have happened that Bryan Ferry, fancying himself a worldly lady magnet, arrived at his adventurous pencil moustache. Three years earlier, in 1973, he had been crooning These Foolish Things, a song from the Gable era. It made perfect sense to our favourite foxhunting, Tory-voting glam-rocker. "It does look dashing, innit," he might have said to his appreciative reflection as he poured another bottle of extra-virgin olive oil over his hair, cheerfully fortified by the certainty that his moustachial judgment would attract universal admiration.
Alas, poor Ferry, for he was profoundly mistaken. From the moment the caterpillar whiskers made their public debut, they were derided as few moustaches ever had been. And how could it not be so? Sitting on Ferry"s face was not so much a moustache than a trail produced by an anorexic slug slithering along its ink-soaked ass in a state of tottery inebriation, holding on tenuously to the ridges of Ferry"s upper lip in an ultimately triumphant bid to stay on course. Bryan Ferry, so astute in matters sartorial chic, quickly realised that he looked like the mid-70s equivalent of a douchebag, and with steady hand applied the Wilkinson Sword to his lip.
Happily, Ferry failed to set a pervasive trend. Occasionally one popster or another would sport a pencil moustache (or, as Jimmy Buffett did, dream of growing one), perhaps in knowingly ironic homage to Ferry. Ron Mael, no doubt tormented by indecision in repeated experimental razor adventures, gave us both the Gable and the Hitler. But for the most part, Ferry abandoned a fashion before it could catch on. And then came Bob Dylan.
What in the name of Errol Flynn is it that Dylan is sporting on his upper lip, and to what good purpose does it exist? Is Bob trying to create something even more revolting than his voice? Is that slither of sparse thatch intended to mimic quizzical eyebrows? Is he trying to be Zorro, defender of all virtue and avenger of widows and protector of virgins? Look like your creepy paedo uncle? Compensate for his inability to grow exorbitant Edwardian walrus whiskers by going for something similarly absurd? Simulate the motion of windscreen wipers on a drizzly afternoon as he snarls this way and that? Fail pitifully in his desperate bid to emulate fellow Wilbury George Harrison in the book of shit moustaches? Prepare for a career in stand-up comedy in which fun follicles compensate for the absence of jokes (it"s an old trick)?
Dylan fans have spent much mental energy contemplating the mystery of Dylan"s "tache and its intrinsic profundity. One blogger in 2004 perhaps solved the mystery: Dylan is paying tribute to folk legend Cisco Houston, who bade this cruel world farewell just as young Bobby Zimmerman forsook the cold climes of Minnesota in favour of the hot scene of Greenwich Village"s folk cafés. If this is really so, then Dylan"s experiment in paying tribute through the medium of moustache is a bust. Should Dylan, a man in his 60s, be sincere in his desire to faithfully copy the stylings of his hero, he might want to consult Johnny Drama from the fine TV series Entourage, who revives the Cisco look with incontestable splendour.
Bob Dylan is a fan of Warren Smith"s rockabilly song Red Cadillac And A Black Moustache, recorded in 1957 for Sun Records. I won"t create a theory that it is that song which Dylan is paying tribute to (unless he drives a red Cadillac, in which case I claim credit for solving the great Dylan moustache mystery). I simply required a good reason to post that magnificent song.
And from Ferry, the musical equivalent of his moustache, a version of It's My Party so boggling of mind that you may wonder whether Ferry had lost his when he passed it for inclusion on his 1973 album of covers, These Foolish Things. Ferry as the male Mrs Miller, with a wink and no mercy!
Giorgio Moroder, he of the porn moustache and rich line of disco production (Donna Summer!), released his From Here To Eternity album in 1977. With Kraftwerk, he is the co-inventor of the synthpop New Wave of the early 1980s, as the title track proves.

Three million new cases of scoliosis are diagnosed each year. Many people can function without surgery but for those who need it, fusion surgery can limit mobility in the spine.
Now, there's a new surgery that's giving hope to children and teens, so they're able to keep their mobility and continue living a normal life.
For 14-year-old Ashley Miller, softball is life.
"I'm the utility player on the team. So, I play outfield, I mainly play middle infield, but I'll occasionally play third and first, and then I catch," said Ashley.
So, when she and her mom, Annette, noticed something may be off in her back, they brought it up to Ashley's doctor.
"The hips were uneven and then as well as the shoulders. Her hips were staring to, something's not right, because they should be more even than they were," said Annette. "I have scoliosis, as well as my mom has scoliosis."
But she hoped it wouldn't be something her daughter would have to worry about. Ashley's doctor recommended her to Dr. Mark Erickson, the medical director of the spine program at Children's Hospital Colorado.
"Her curve was a pretty severe curve. One in the 50s-60s degrees," said Dr. Erickson.
Surgery was inevitable. Dr. Erickson gave the Millers two options: Either keep her in a brace for another year or so and then get a fusion surgery, or try a new surgery that was just approved by the FDA last year.
"So, I mainly focused on softball as my deciding factor. Because they told me if I were to get this surgery, I would still keep all the flexibility in my back, and I'd still be able to move around and do everything that my teammates did," said Ashley.
Instead of using a metal rod and fusing her spine, surgeons inserted a screw into each vertebra and tethered them together with a synthetic cord. That tether will realign her curvature over time.
"As I grow, my curve will start to straighten out. And the surgery was to make sure I still have the flexibility while playing softball," said Ashley.
But this surgery only works if the child still has another growth spurt to hit.
"You have to have some growth remaining for the tether aspect to work and modulate the growth or tether the growth of the spine, harness the growth of the spine. You have to have growth remaining for that to be possible," said Dr. Erickson.
Just a few months post-surgery and Ashley's spine has already started to straighten out.
"It still needs to get stronger, but it's going really well so far," said Ashley.
"Working through this whole process, I could not have asked for a better scenario. I think everything went as well as it could have been," said Annette.
Ashley was back on the field just a few weeks after her surgery in July.
"I love the rush of the game. Because my teammates we all cheer each other on, we're all so supportive," said Ashley.

To help you understand the scope of what's cooking, we take a closer look at three awesome fresh-from-the-oven startups – MovePrep, Tipoff and Holme Care.
MovePrep is a service connecting expats with local homeowners. It's co-founder Ott Ilves shares the background of who they are and where they want to go.
So, Ott, have you ever participated in a similar hackathon?
No, it's my first time ever.
What's the first impression , how would you describe what you see?
It's fun and hectic here. It seems there are a lot of smart people working on fun problems.
What's your own background?
I'm a marketer at Pipedrive, digital marketing manager. I also help Ampler bikes with marketing.
Where did the idea for MovePrep come from?
From personal experience. Four of our team members used to live abroad and a lot of our friends were also expats. All of us have been in numerous fruitless searches for finding appartements.
Why only limit yourself with expats?
We need to start somewhere and we saw a massive problem in finding an appartement when moving abroad. When you know the market, it's a lot easier. But when you move to a new place you might not have the contacts, time or other resources. Additionally, there is a a lot of prejudice towards people who look different, sound different or just aren't locals.
And how's MovePrep coming along?
Right now we intend to find our first customer within next 24 hours and have a minimum viable product - AirBnb looking website - available in next 12 hours. We have a roadmap of what the product should look like in one months time and building blocks of how we're gonna get there. Our first goal is to find customers to test our service on.
What has been the most useful advice from a mentor so far?
I'd say it's something Calum Cameron from Startup Wise Guys suggested. Figuring out all the parts of value proposition as clearly as possible. As we have have multiple beneficiaries, we should make sure to emphasize the value for all of them.
What's your ambition by 2018?
Serve people in 3 capital cities in Europe.
Another new startup called Tipoff aims to change the marketing strategies of big corporations. One of the co-founders Grete Urbel discusses the hackathon, the background and the future or Tipoff.
Have you ever participated in a similar hackathon?
No, it's my first time!
What's your own background?
I'm a former sales person right now working as a development manager in Telia Eesti, I've been an organisation addict from a young age while my friends had hobbies like dancing or sports. Rait Videvik, my cofounder has been in sales for more than 10 years. He's been in retail, head of telemarketing, head of partner channels and is now head of sales in Telia.
Where did the idea for TipOff come from?
Idea comes from Rait. It's very time consuming to call up masses of people, calling results in very few sales. Skipping ads is a rising trend, but people still talk to their friends about products and services they like. It's one of the biggest challenges for companies to find additional and better channels to market themselves.
And how is Tipoff coming along?
We just posted our first call to action on VUNK's & Telia's Facebook pages where they have more than 100 000 followers. We'll give prizes to loyal customers who bring us another client. We're also on half way with our webpage and our marketing team is in the middle of defining our clients, both businesses and private.
What has been the most useful advice from a mentor so far?
On the first night Lauris Muzikants from Telia Sweden suggested to make a precise plan and structure of how we're going to do it. We made a plan for each and every member for the team and described what exactly will they be doing. He also suggested to forget about thinking about the name, saying that if we want to change it, it will come sooner or later and there is no point in waisting time on brainstorming new names now.
What's your ambition by 2018?
To be an independent company with full-time
employees and hiring more. We want to make a solid ground in Estonia. I'd hope
for around 2000 agents i.e. loyal customers recommending services to their friends, and 20 offerers.
Another fresh startup being developed is called Holme Care. It's a connecting platform for people who are looking for care takers and those offering care taking services. The founder of this socially ambitious service Nik Seth explained the idea and how it would work.
Have you ever participated in a similar hackathon?
I took part in Garage48 Serious Fun hackathon. I was actually in the winning team. We made a thing available at Placebo.works. I was responsible for content creation.
What's your own background?
I sold my nursing home in UK and moved here to Estonia to create Holme Care.
Where did the idea for Holme Care come from?
People used to come to me to find carers for their loved ones, it is such a complicated process in the UK. Oftentimes I was given a list of agencies and people asked if any of them were good. For example, one of the services you can buy from that kind of an agency is helping you to get up in the morning. It might easily happen that agency people say they can come at 7, but you'd like to sleep until 9 that day. And there is nothing you can really do about it. It is a system convenient for the agencies and not for the service user
How is Holme Care coming along?
I feel we've done so much, the team has achieved a lot. But I'm still afraid of how much more we have to do. We are constantly changing and adjusting as we go.
What has been the most useful advice from a mentor so far?
Advice to make sure everyone understands what Holme Care is looking to achieve and people take responsibility in achieving that goal. I think it was Ivo Kukavica who said that.
What's your ambition by 2018?
I want UK care agencies to talk about us the same ways taxi companies are talking about Uber.

Every property owner should know that Spike TV has a show called: "To Cath a Contractor." It's more than just entertainment—it's a lesson on the dangers of hiring the wrong person for the job. While incompetents and scam artists are by no means the majority, the fact that this show exists underscores the importance of doing your homework when figuring out how to find a good contractor. The good news is that most contractors are professionals trying to make an honest living doing what they love.
If you're in the market for a fixer upper, you are not alone.
There are many people that are opting to purchase a home that, in it's current state, would make Bob Vila cry.
For starters, fixer uppers could be purchased for a price so low it'll make you giddy, while other benefits include being able to create a uniquely designed home suited to your own taste and potentially making a handsome profit if/when it comes time to resell.
Before you start scouring around for the perfect fixer upper, here are a few things to keep in mind.
The ideal fixer upper is the one that has mostly cosmetic issues. Remodeling tv shows everywhere make us think that turning a home from a dilapidated mess into a space befitting a king is as easy as building a LEGO set, but, in reality one should be honest about what they can actually do themselves. In the end, a bad DIY job could become a serious financial, physical and emotional burden.
Before you buy, have a certified and experienced home inspector evaluate the property. You want to avoid getting yourself into a money pit so deep, you'll forget what daylight looks like. There are many different types of inspections and professionals to help you create an accurate assessment of the property you're eyeing.
When you are ready to put an offer on the fixer upper property of your dreams, you should consider the fair market value less any upgrade/repair costs. Consider if you can negotiate on the purchase price. Some buyers are eager to sell and will possibly be flexible.

Conservation Groups File Lawsuit after President Trump Illegally Axed Majestic Bears Ears National Monument
President's abuse of authority strips protections from a priceless cultural and natural heritage that belongs to all Americans
Alejandro Davila, Earthjustice, (202) 745-5229 or (760) 595-3518
Three days after President Donald Trump issued a proclamation taking an axe to Bears Ears National Monument in southern Utah, conservation organizations filed a lawsuit attacking the order as an abuse of the president's power. Following in the footsteps of the Native American Tribes who have already sued the President, Earthjustice is representing nine conservation organizations in a suit charging that the president violated the 1906 Antiquities Act and the U.S. Constitution by eviscerating the monument.
See the Interior Department's map of modified boundaries of Bears Ears National Monument.
The unprecedented act leaves rare archaeological sites and stunning wildlands without protection from looting, prospecting, oil and gas drilling, uranium mining, or off-road vehicle damage. Bears Ears was decimated by more than 1 million acres. The Natural Resources Defense Council and Southern Utah Wilderness Alliance are co-plaintiffs in the case, represented by counsel from those organizations.
"Nearly three million Americans voiced their support for national monuments during Trump's monument review, but he chose to ignore both the American people and the letter of the law to cater to the extractive industries who would gut our natural wonders," said Heidi McIntosh, Managing Attorney in Earthjustice's Rocky Mountain office. "We stand with Native American Tribes to defend Bears Ears National Monument from this outrageous attack."
Because the president's authority to create national monuments is delegated by Congress under the Antiquities Act, monument proclamations carry the force of law and cannot be reversed by later presidents. President Trump lacks the authority to gut a national monument that belongs to all Americans.
Home to ancient cliff dwellings, sacred tribal cultural sites, and iconic wildlife, Bears Ears National Monument is a national treasure. Its buttes, cliffs, and canyons include over 100,000 Native American archaeological and cultural sites, some dating to 12,000 B.C.E. To ensure its lasting protection from looting, mining and other threats, an historic inter-tribal coalition of the Hopi Tribe, Navajo Nation, the Ute Indian Tribe, the Ute Mountain Ute Tribe and the Pueblo of Zuni successfully advocated for its protection as a national monument.

"Five Native Tribes came together in an unprecedented way to protect Bears Ears National Monument," said Bill Hedden, Executive Director of the Grand Canyon Trust. "This remarkable area had been considered for national monument status for 80 years, and President Trump's action to eviscerate the monument after a hasty review dishonors not only their heritage, but our shared American heritage as well."
President Obama designated Bears Ears National Monument on December 28, 2016 using the Antiquities Act, a century-old law that has been used by 16 presidents since Theodore Roosevelt to protect some of our nation's most cherished landscapes and cultural heritage. Congress enacted the law in 1906, granting presidents the authority to create national monuments on federal lands to protect significant natural, cultural, historic or scientific features. The Antiquities Act does not, however, grant presidents the authority to diminish or rescind the monument designations of their predecessors. Only Congress can do that.
"The President has the unquestionable authority to create national monuments, and a monument like Bears Ears shows why this law should be respected," said The Wilderness Society's Senior Counsel Nada Culver. "We will fight to make sure that both the law and this place are defended."
"By revoking Bears Ears National Monument President Trump will be remembered for coming down on the wrong side of history," said Stephen Bloch, Legal Director for the Southern Utah Wilderness Alliance. "The federal public lands and significant cultural resources within Bears Ears National Monument are world class treasures that demand the highest level of protection and respect. President Trump's broad attack on Bears Ears—the first by any President in the 111-year history of the Antiquities Act—puts these lands and resources at immediate risk of damage and destruction and cannot stand."
The thousands of archaeological sites in Bears Ears are in dire need of protection from ongoing looting and desecration. No fewer than six serious cases of looting were documented in 2016 alone. These majestic lands are also threatened by uranium mining and oil and gas drilling.

"The administration's move to strip protections away from our treasured public lands leaves Bears Ears vulnerable to oil and gas development and looting of invaluable Native American cultural resources," said Theresa Pierno, President and CEO for National Parks Conservation Association. "Bears Ears protects and connects the surrounding national park landscape that includes Glen Canyon National Recreation Area, Natural Bridges National Monument and Canyonlands National Park. This place was deserving of its national monument designation, just as park sites like the Grand Canyon and Muir Woods were, and remains so today. An attempt to diminish these protections is a betrayal of the American people, and the more than 2.8 million American voices who asked that these incredible places remain protected as they are. We cannot and will not let this stand."

Bears Ears National Monument.
Bears Ears National Monument is home to bears, cougars, and bighorn sheep, and is dominated by two buttes that jut thousands of feet above canyon lands to form the region's namesake, "Bears Ears." Bears Ears National Monument continues to be used for pilgrimage, prayer and ceremonies to this day, and is a healing place vital to sustaining Native American culture and religion for the Tribes with sacred ties to these lands.
"Overturning protections for critically important parts of the Bears Ears National Monument is an insult to people across the country who love and care about our public lands, and it's a threat to the special places we leave as legacy for our children," said Michael Brune, Executive Director of the Sierra Club.
"President Trump's executive order obstinately ignores the will of the American people and the value Bears Ears holds for Native Americans, local communities and wildlife," said Jamie Rappaport Clark, President and CEO of Defenders of Wildlife. "Bears Ears National Monument supports a great diversity of plants, prized elk and bighorn sheep populations and 15 species of bat, yet the Trump administration would rather see this monument downsized and surrounded by oil and gas wells than protected for posterity."
"Some of America's best-loved national parks, such as Grand Canyon, Olympic, and Grand Teton, started off as Monuments that were designated amid a storm of local controversy," said Erik Molvar, Executive Director of the Western Watersheds Project. "Twenty years from now, if our suit is successful, Bears Ears will be famous and treasured and its opponents will look just as foolish and short-sighted as those who opposed the Grand Canyon's designation."
"The Trump administration has crossed the line in attacking the clear authority of a previous president to declare a national monument," said Shelley Silbert, Executive Director of Great Old Broads for Wilderness. "President Trump lacks the legal authority to remove by fiat protection of any of the Bears Ears land for the enjoyment and use of future generations, and we stand ready to fight this in the courts."
"The sacred places and archeological treasures in Bears Ears will be devastated if Trump's order is allowed to stand," said Randi Spivak, Public Lands Program Director with the Center for Biological Diversity. "We've seen the wreckage on public lands from toxic mining, drilling and fracking. Trump wants to ramp that up. It's unconscionable and we can't allow it."
"It's appalling that the president prioritizes the financial interests of the fossil fuel industry over protecting this incredible, vulnerable landscape that belongs to every American," said Chris Krupp, Public Lands Guardian for WildEarth Guardians. "The president somehow kept a straight face at the signing ceremony when he spoke of increasing public access, but his only concern was industry's unfettered access to Bears Ears' resources."
"President Trump grossly exceeded his authority in this shameful attempt to hand over sacred lands to private commercial interests," said Rhea Suh, president of the Natural Resources Defense Council. "His order is not just illegal, it's a serious affront to every American who values our country's natural wonders. This landscape—with its petroglyphs, stone villages and sheer natural splendor—has been the homeland to indigenous peoples for thousands of years. We look forward to fighting in court to forever preserve these historical, natural, and cultural treasures that are held in trust for future generations."

More on the Antiquities Act:
When President Theodore Roosevelt signed the Antiquities Act into law in 1906, he established a legal framework for the protection of national treasures. The law gives presidents the power to designate monuments on federal lands and waters—an authority granted by Congress that has for more than a century protected landscapes of extraordinary cultural, scientific and ecological value.
The Antiquities Act has been used more than 150 times by presidents of both parties.
Every president since 1906—with the exception of Presidents Nixon, Reagan and George H.W. Bush—has used the Antiquities Act to protect iconic places. The law has also been used to protect cultural heritage sites—from Stonewall to Birmingham to Cesar Chavez's family home—that tell the more complete story of our nation.
The Congressional Research Service has found that the Antiquities Act does not authorize the President to repeal national monument designations. Only Congress has that authority. Numerous legal scholars have reached the same conclusion.

Elijah Brubaker is the writer and artist of Reich, a biography of Wilhelm Reich in comic form. Reich (1897 – 1957) was an Austrian psychotherapist known for his theory of character analysis. He fled Nazi Germany in 1938 and came to the U.S. where became obsessed with orgone, which he claimed was a universal energy. He also began developing technology based on orgone, including the orgone accumulator, which he believed could cure cancer, and the cloudbuster, which he believed could make it rain. He was eventually arrested for medical fraud and died in prison.
Reich is published by Sparkplug Books and is available in fine comic shops or directly from Sparkplug. You can read the first few issues online here.
This interview was filmed back in 2008 for Technoccult TV, but the audio and video were too corrupted for release. I managed to transcribe most of the interview, so here it is at long last.
Klint Finley: So you do a comic about Wilhelm Reich, were you involved in Reichian therapy before you started the comic?
Elijah Brubaker: No, I wasn't involved in the therapy at all. I had read about Reich kind of anecdotally through William Burroughs. And he just seemed like this cool crazy guy, and he's a great thing to talk about to your friends who don't know about him. I just like to talk about esoteric bullshit at parties. My interest kind of grew after I read several biographies of him and I started looking at him as more of a person, so my interest comes from the compassionate part of it now. It started as "Ha ha ha, there's this crazy quack" Now I feel like I'm a crazy quack too.
That really shows in the comic. You don't vilify him or idolize him. It's a really human portrayal of him. I think it's generally sympathetic towards him, was that your intent?
Yeah, just today I was reading the back of a biography of Ayn Rand. And there was a pull quote on the back that said that the people who lionize her and demonize her equally do a disservice by dehumanizing her. That's how I feel with Reich, he's such a controversial figure that people don't really look at him as human anymore, he's just this series of events that happened or a series of ideas. They either agree or disagree and everyone has a strong opinion about it, but it's not coming from a very humanistic point of view I guess.
How long did it take you to research it before you started on the comic?
I did strict research for about a year, and then I said "I've just got to get something on paper."
Were your reference materials particularly difficult to find?
Yeah, at first. This book, Wilhelm Reich vs. USA, was pretty hard to find. I actually found it at the library, and I kept checking it out and checking it out and finally found it at Powell's. I don't read German. I would like to find some of the papers that he wrote that are only in German, but that would be sort of pointless right now.
Do you do any original research, like interviews with family members or people who knew him?
I wish I could. No. I started out thinking this was going to be a much smaller project. I would still like to travel around and find whoever I could to talk about it now. Originally I thought this would be a way for me to practice cartooning, essentially, of telling a true story in the most truthful way that I thought I could.
Did you expect it to be so long?
Well, I deal better with long works. So yeah, I thought it would be like 300 pages, but I didn't think that I would have a publisher. I thought I would print like 100 copies and give out to friends.
Have you heard from any Reich experts who has taken issue with any of your portrayals?
Not that has taken issue, but I recently got an e-mail from a person that was at a conference on orgone and pulled out my comic and showed it to everyone. Everyone was really skeptical but semi-supportive.
The e-mail was essentially "Please don't think mess this up. Graphic novels are a big deal these days and you have the potential to do our work some harm if you portray this in the wrong light. No pressure though!"
Well, it's one of the most flattering things written about him, so it seems like it could do his work a lot of good.
Well, it's still early in his career, I'm sort of interested in how people feel about how I deal with some of his more controversial views, his ideas on aliens and what not.
So you haven't gone through any of the therapy at all, just as research even?
Seen an orgone accumulator?
Yeah, I've seen an orgone accumulator, but they weren't… I don't know if anyone builds them professionally any more, but the person who owned it was the person who built it.
Are there any ideas of his that you've come to accept now, or that have affected you?
Well, since starting working on the book I think about sex in a lot less uptight way. I can actually talk about things in an open matter, where before it was like "teehee, he said the word erection." I'm still a pretty uptight guy, I'm not going to talk about free love or anything like that.
Other than just freeing of my own language, I don't think I've really adopted any of his teachings or whatever you want to call it.
I'm not exactly part of the anti-psychiatry movement or anything like that. But I've never been to therapy and I'm not looking to.
So you found out about Reich through William S. Burroughs — how did you find out about Burroughs?
You know, I can't really remember. I think Naked Lunch was a book that my brother had in his apartment, just because it was a strange book and my brother likes strange stuff so he kept it around to show his friends. So one day I stopped by his apartment and didn't have anything to read so I just picked it up. It's not a narrative in any sense of the word, it's almost just a collection of jokes or something. But I really gravitated towards it because everything I had read was just straight forward plot stories, and this had no plot and was just dirty and gross and was this guy's entire brain smashed up. Ever since then I've looked for artists that do a similar thing, where it's just self-expression whether you like it or not. I can't say that my stuff is even close to that, but I hope that I've learned a little bit from that type of sensibility.
That actually makes sense looking at your work, that it would have been influenced by Burroughs, just the psychological aspect of it.
Right. I also like his unapologetic paranoia, because I've always felt a certain amount of "they're out to get me."
You have a really distinct style, how long did it take you to develop that, where did it come from?
I've always had an interest in that 20s era Weimar German Expressionism sort of stuff. And just through looking at George Grosz and Otto Dix and stuff like that, and trying to see what they were doing. I just sort of stole ideas from this person and that person.
You're also working on a biographical comic on serial killer Billy Gohl. Why was his story so interesting?
I've always liked the idea of a serial killer as a boogey-man sort of thing. And Billy Gohl, there's no movie about him, he's not in popular consciousness yet.
His story is interesting to me, because he was accused of a hell of a lot more murders than he actually took part in. He was a braggart and a loud mouth. He said he cannibalized a man in the mountains one year.
Gray's Harbor, Washington at the time was this rough port town where people would go missing all the time. The Christian population of the time looked down on the fact that he had a bar. Fights would break out there and they'd blame Billy Gohl.
He was made a representative of the sailor's union and he was responsible for watching sailors' belongings while they were out at sea. If they didn't come back he was in charge of distributing the goods however he saw fit. Finding the families and everything. Chances were he'd usually just keep it. So his stories were "Oh this sailor I didn't like, I just killed him and took his stuff."
And people would show up floating in the bay. I think there was one year where the was just a little under 200 people found floating in the bay, and they referred to them the "floater fleet." And Billy Gohl was eventually accused of every single murder that happened there, thousands of people over the time that he was living in Gray's Harbor.
He was eventually convicted of two murders, one of which the court decided he didn't even actually pull the trigger, he just convinced the other guy to pull the trigger. I don't know how the legal wrangling were over that.
I think it's a cautionary tale about how being a loud mouth and talking what a terrible person that you can be. Eventually you're going to try to prove that and you'll find your justice.
What's your favorite work of your own?
Reich is the thing that I'm most proud of. I think the stories in Papercutter are a little bit more aligned with my sensibilities, I think I'm having more fun with those stories, but I think Reich is a more fulfilling story.

Titans Retiring Numbers of Eddie George, Late Steve McNair
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Nobody with the Titans will ever wear Eddie George's No. 27 nor the No. 9 of the late Steve McNair again, players who helped the franchise through its difficult relocation from Houston to Tennessee to its lone Super Bowl berth.
Controlling owner Amy Adams Strunk announced Wednesday that the franchise will retire both numbers Sept. 15 at their home opener against the Indianapolis Colts.
"This is a big moment for me personally because I love these guys, and I know my dad loved these guys and he will be so happy and proud that we were honoring them today," Strunk said of her late father, Bud Adams, who founded the franchise in 1960.
The Titans say this will be the first time an NFL team has retired either a No. 9 or 27, giving the league 153 numbers that have been retired. McNair and George will join six other former Titans and Oilers whose numbers have been retired including Warren Moon, Earl Campbell, Mike Munchak, Bruce Matthews and Elvin Bethea — all members of the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
George called having his number retired a "huge honor" considering that usually requires being in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
"I couldn't imagine having a day like this where my jersey (is) retired by myself," George said. "It has to be with Steve. ... It's totally appropriate to have us go in together."
George, who played eight seasons with this team and made four Pro Bowls, remains both the franchise's all-time leading rusher with 10,009 yards and all-time scrimmage yards leader with 12,153. McNair, drafted a year before in 1995 at No. 3 overall, played 11 of 13 seasons here and remains the franchise's second all-time leading passer (27,141 yards) behind only Pro Football Hall of Fame quarterback Warren Moon (33,685).
McNair, killed July 4, 2009, leads the franchise with 76 wins as a starter. McNair and George together went 80-48 for a .625 winning percentage with only one losing season at 7-9 in 2001 and the 2000 Super Bowl, two AFC championship games, four playoff appearances and two division titles.
Mechelle McNair, his widow, was not able to attend Wednesday's news conference. Team announcer Mike Keith read a statement she sent.
"Steve would be truly honored to know that he was held in such high esteem by you," Mechelle McNair wrote. "Retiring his jersey is a really big deal for us. It is a tangible reminder for me and the boys to know that No. 9 will forever be held in the highest regard in the Titans nation."
McNair remains one of only three quarterbacks in NFL history to throw for 30,000 yards and run for 3,500 yards with Fran Tarkenton and Steve Young. McNair earned three of his four Pro Bowls with the Titans and shared The Associated Press' NFL MVP with Peyton Manning in 2003 as the first black quarterback to win that award.
George, who won the Heisman Trophy while at Ohio State, called a wild-card playoff victory over Baltimore in January 2004 as his favorite personal memory. Asked for a favorite game moment for McNair, George said when the quarterback was named MVP. George recalled all that McNair went through with injuries, thoughts of retiring to dramatic comebacks such as coming off the bench for a divisional win in Pittsburgh in 2000.
The Titans cheered McNair for 10 minutes when then-coach Jeff Fisher announced McNair had been voted MVP.
"We saw all he had to go through to get to that point as an African-American quarterback. He had to overcome a lot of stigmas and a lot of stereotypes to prove himself in this league," George said.
"So it goes beyond just the numbers, it goes beyond just what you see on the stat sheet. To see him in the locker room getting taped up and having to take naps because he was tired and beat up and have to get up the next day and go out and fight, that was our culture. That's who we were."
Coach Mike Vrabel congratulated both George and McNair, noting he was lucky enough to have George as a teammate at Ohio State. Vrabel recalled hitting McNair in a playoff game hoping the quarterback fell like he did.
"We had some great matchups against the Titans," Vrabel said. "Those two guys were a huge part of their success here, so we're very well aware of what they've done here for the Titans. Just would like to say congratulations to them."
NOTES: The Titans have agreed to terms with wide receiver A.J. Brown, wrapping up the last of their draft class.

1. Honestly, Crouching Mom / Hidden Cougar could've been any one of our moms after about a half a glass of Pinot Grigio. There were envious 50-something-year-old loins aflame everywhere last night… Love it.
2. Omg, the last party they crashed. BAHAHHAHHA.
3. Ashley's faces were ON POINT last night. I can't believe these words are about to fall out of my mouth, but now I think I might have a soft spot for my old buddy Tarantulashes.
Also, this blog post will self-destruct in 5 seconds…
4. I heard Britt has spent the past few months recovering from "heartbreak" back home in Michigan… So now, listen: As a corn-fed girl, I know better than anyone a) what happens in the Midwest and b) what happens in the Midwest in the winter time… as is evidenced by the fact that my pants split over Christmas.
And that is why I can say without hesitation that the Midwest meat & taters phenomenon skipped Britt's hips and landed right in her cheeks. Did I just say that out loud?? I did. Oosie. But she looked WAY noticeably different last night. And obviously by different, I mean bloated.
5. Haaaaaaa – Who was it that said, re: Ashley I – "…yeah but her mouth is not a virgin." #onpoint #largemouthbass
6. I thought THIS shenanigan would never end. No one won in the battle of Britt vs. Carly. We all just lost hours of our lives.
7. When Jillian bowed up and went to town on (everybody) who was ganging up on Britt, I kept waiting for her veins to burst and her muscles to explode and her dress to fall into shreds on the ground, like the Incredible Hulk. Then, I realized that I think she wants to set up camp in Britt's drawers.
8. Oh hey Cricket from Hart of Dixie! I love that show and I can't help it. Judge away.
9. Can somebody get Britt a ponytail holder? Cuz if she touches her weave one more time it's gonna fall out. While we're at it, she could use 7 boxes of tissues and a mani.
10. This is the second to last thing I'm going to say about her: Honey. If you & Chris were MFEO, one moment in time because of something one other girl said couldn't possibly have ruined it. Pretty sure you left the show because Chris said: "That's not how I want my wife to act." Not because you & Carly had a spat on the playground at recess.
11. Somebody get this poor chile some under eye concealer. Or a nap.
12. Kelsey saying "I know this is a love story about Chris, but this is my love story too" reminds me of the time she wrote her husband's entire obituary, and 75% of it was about her and her accomplishments. She frightens me beyond belief.
13. What's *really* amazing is how many times I think she rehearsed that Amazing speech. The jig is up sister! Yer scary and America knows it.
14. Behold: My hero.
I think she officially might be the most hilarious person – maybe the smartest – and by far the best at mocking the show – ever to be on. I was in effing stitches, definitely let out a little pee, and fell over laughing 17x during her 4 minute segment. Best lines included:
"There was only one cat, and it didn't reply." // "It's so weird… just that we're all on TV." // "I was really bored."
Ashley on Bachelor in Paradise will be the best gift I've ever gotten.
15. Also, her skin is FLAW-LESS. Crazy becomes her.
16. Did Jade got her painted-on-red-dress from Stiffler's Mom's closet??
17. Last thing I'm gonna say about Britt: she *almost* had me feeling sorry for her for being misunderstood. But if any of us had any doubt that she is artfully skilled at talking out of both sides of her mouth, how about the time she LITERALLY said to Chris: "I respect you and I don't blame you for believing Carly!" and 10 seconds later said, "I knew you weren't that small-minded and would never take someone else's word like that." Gowl, do you even hear yourself?
18. Why is he in a clammy sweat? Yikes. Somebody get this poor guy a towel and a Xanax. And for the love of God, a media coach.
19. Dear Chris: if I'm the girl you chose, or even one of the final two, the absolute last thing I wanna hear you say is that your choice to keep me was like throwing darts in the dark. Huh??
20. Can we all discuss how stunning Kaitlyn looks, and how poised, articulate and hilarious she is?! She's come a long way for me. #bachelorette2015
21. Did Jade seriously suggest that if Chris was uncomfortable he should've said: "Let's save these (naked photos of your labia flapping in the wind) for something special"? Like, fer WHAT? For the highlight reel at your wedding?
22. Loved Ashley / Tarantulashes' dress.
23. Did you see who he ran to bear hug first after the show closed?? Carly. Shows to go ya, Bambi.
What did I miss?? Who's pumped for the 3 hour finale? And if you live in San Diego, duh – come over. Biggest Bachelor Rager of the Year!

Lasergraph DSP Licensor
- Master licensor for editing laser shows
- License upgrade
The Lasergraph DSP laser show control system, made by Laseranimation Sollinger, is especially designed for high professional show applications.
Lasergraph DSP systems are well established in show laser light industry. Due to the concept of decentralized show processing, the DSP systems are extremely prowerful, but do not require any special computer system for laser show progreamming - the Lasergraph DSP is the show computer!
The only software needed for programming on a DSP system is a small programm of onyl several kilobytes size, that connects to the DSP via standard TCP/IP LAN conncetion - the actual signal processing and all calculations are done by the Lasergraph DSP unit.
This decentralized processing makes the whole show infrastructure independent of external influences, as shows can be run even without having any computer connected to the DSP - and this can even be very complex shows with timecode handling and DMX in/out triggers.
In case of a power outage, the DSP comes on again together with the power, so the show can immedialtely continue at the point it was interrupted.
Besides this, the Lasergraph DSP is well known in the industry for it's great output quality, which is achieved by very powerful processors.
The Laseranimation Lasergraph DSP is a powerful show control system not only for creating spectacular, pre-programmed timeline shows, but it can also be used for controlling many kinds of additional media, like DMX fixtures, video content, special effects and water effects.
High professional live laser shows are also often controlled with Lasergraph DSP systems - especially as high end productions require fail safe and maximum reliable control systems, that are flexible in use and compatible to timecode handling (SMPTE) and remote DMX control. Major live laser shows are often controlled by several DSP systems, all connected through LAN and remotely triggered by DMX from a GrandMA or similar high pro controller.
Lasergraph DSP Licensor Licence
Together with a Lasergraph DSP compact and just one Licensor Licence in a network, every Lasergraph DSP compact Playback becomes a Lasergraph DSP compact with full edit function!
Until now you have needed three Lasergraph DSP compact systems for controlling three show laser systems with an individual laser show. Thanks to the Lasergraph DSP Licensor Licence you┬┤ll now need just one Lasergraph DSP compact unit, one Lasergraph DSP Licensor Licence and two (in comparison to the DSP compact Mark 2 much cheaper) Lasergraph DSP compact Playback units.

The stamps in this set are seriously perfect for making masculine cards and when I saw the anchor image and sentiment, I knew who I wanted to create a card for...my husband! The anchor of course made me think of water and I thought it would be fun to create a water splashed background using the smooshing technique.

Incredible Wedding Gowns From One Of The Top Dress Designers
If youre in the know on wedding gowns and designers, then you probably know the name of Reem Acra. Since 1995, she has been known as one of the premiere wedding gown designers in the world, using that platform to branch out into many other areas of fashion.
Acra was born in Lebanon, and studied her craft in both Paris, at Esmod Ecole de Mode of Design, and New York, at the Fashion Institute of Technology. She won many designing awards at both schools, launching her into a fashion career.
It pays to have friends in high places. After a friend wore one of her early bridal designs at her wedding, and the attention it received helped her start her own company in 1995, and she launched her first bridal designs in 1997. Her fashion house in Manhattan is known as one of the top bridal salons in the world.
Acras style is renowned for her use of embroidery, which sets her apart from most other wedding gown designers, along with intricate beading and the use of a lot of silk. She loves rich colors and anything handmade, and one can easily tell that she loves fashion. Her fashion is sometimes considered the opposite of Vera Wangs in that she tends to be more traditional with modern flare, whereas Vera Wang starts off modern then adds touches of tradition on the back end.
One of her most popular bridal lines uses small Swarovski crystals and seed pearls to perfection. Because of the intricacy of her designs, wedding dresses can take longer to make, which of course means theyll generally cost more. Her prices usually start around $4,000.00 and go up from there, and even resale values of preowned dresses often go for over $3,000.
Reem Acras wedding gowns have been worn by many top celebrities. Some of the names include Marcia Cross, Star Jones, Jennie Garth and Katey Sagal. Her other designs have been popular with actresses such as Halle Berry, Jennifer Lopez and Angelina Jolie.
Strangely enough, Acra is also well known for creating a specialty wedding dress design for Barbie, which, at around $180, was the most expensive Barbie accessory in history, but also one of the most sought after items.
At her live bridal show in April 2009, she exhibited a bridal line that she stated was fairy tale inspired, with wedding dresses having names like Rapunzel, Sleeping Beauty, Snow White and Rumpelstiltskin, a gown which was embroidered with whimsical flowers, and Cinderella, which was a pale blue silk with gold silkscreened embellishments.
Reem Acra is a designer with a great flair and an eye for both color and detail. Its no wonder that shes one of the top wedding gown designers in the world today.
