Wor-Wic was a helpful and easy college. They did not challenge me mentally. Teachers are not always picked because they are fit for the job.Read More
Being a small local community college, Wor-Wic is among the top in my book of local schools. With flexible scheduling and the ability to go to college for less definitely makes this school recommendable. The only problem is being out of state, I do pay over twice as much as in county students when I am only 5 seconds over the state line and a 15 minute drive to class.Read More
A great start for people unfamiliar with the college experience. The teacher's are nice and friendly, and they are willing to help you when you need it. There's also a lot of activities and clubs to attend or become a part of, if your into club activities, as well as an academic pursuit.Read More

Mauresmo Calls It A Career
Published December 03, 2009 12:00
ST. PETERSBURG, FL, USA - France's Amélie Mauresmo has brought the curtain down on a highly successful and memorable 17-year career, officially retiring from the Sony Ericsson WTA Tour. Winner of 25 Sony Ericsson WTA Tour singles titles, three doubles titles and a two-time Grand Slam champion, Mauresmo marks the end of a career that saw her become one of the very best and most popular players in the history of women's tennis.
"I don't want to train anymore," Mauresmo explained. "I had to make a decision, which became evident in the last few months and weeks. When you grow older, it's more difficult to stay at the top. It's a bit sad, but this is the right decision. I was lucky enough to have an exceptional career and to experience very strong feelings on the court."
The 30-year-old exits the game having been one of only 19 players to have ever held the Sony Ericsson WTA Tour world No.1 ranking. Mauresmo ascended to the No.1 spot for the first time on September 13, 2004 and held it for five weeks. She recaptured the top ranking on March 20, 2006 and held it for the majority of that year, until November 12, bringing her total weeks at No.1 to 39, amassing the ninth most weeks at No.1 on the Tour.
Mauresmo posted her best season in 2006, winning her first Grand Slam title at the Australian Open (leading 61 20 in the final when Justine Henin was forced to retire) and winning her second just a few months later at Wimbledon (defeating Henin 26 63 64 in the final), where she became the first French Wimbledon champion in the Open Era.
"Amélie will go down in history as one of the best players of her generation and a terrific ambassador for women's tennis," said Stacey Allaster, Chairman and CEO of the Tour. "Amélie's accomplishments not only include winning two Grand Slam titles and becoming the first French player to reach the world No.1 ranking, but leading France to a Fed Cup victory, and generously donating her time to various social causes. Amélie is an extraordinary player, one of the nicest and friendliest personalities on Tour, and a true champion both in tennis and in life."
Mauresmo turned professional in 1993 and won her first Tour singles title in 1999 at Bratislava. For the next eight years, she won at least one Tour singles title every year and qualified for the season-ending Sony Ericsson Championships for eight consecutive years (1999 to 2006), winning the title in 2005 and reaching the final in 2006 (falling to Henin). Mauresmo was a singles finalist on 23 occasions, including the 1999 Australian Open (falling to Hingis) and the 2003 Sony Ericsson Championships, along with clinching the silver medal at the 2004 Sydney Olympic Games.
Through much of her career, Mauresmo proudly served on the French Fed Cup team, representing her country throughout eleven seasons and contributing to France's second ever Fed Cup victory in 2003 (winning both her singles matches over the USA in straight sets).
In addition, Mauresmo received several notable awards during her career including the 2007 Legion of Honor, presented by former French President Jacques Chirac. In 2006, she earned the Tour Player of the Year distinction and Laureus Breakthrough of the Year award. On a social cause level, Mauresmo has donated her time and efforts to the Curie Institute of France (research and treatment of cancer) and in 2004 was named official ambassador of Habitat for Humanity, the joint official European social cause between the Tour and Whirlpool.
Mauresmo played her last professional match at the 2009 US Open, where she was defeated by Alexandra Wozniak, 64 60, in the second round. She posted seven Top 10 wins during her final season and captured her 25th singles title, winning on home turf at the Open GDF SUEZ in Paris.

Teenagers care about their appearance. One of the first things their friends and classmates will notice about them is their smile. Teens lead active lives, but following a few simple rules will help them ensure that they continue to smile bright both during school and in the years ahead. Dr. Chad Denman, an Austin dentist / Round Rock dentist at Family Tree Dental Group, has put together a list of simple but important tips for teens to follow for a happy and healthy smile:
1. Skip sodas. Not only do sugar-laden soft drinks increase the risk of becoming overweight and developing type 2 diabetes, they also can cause cavities and destroy the enamel that protects teeth. Once enamel is gone, there's no replacing it, so teens are cautioned to choose their beverages wisely. Sports drinks and juices are typically just as bad for the teeth. Water and milk are the dentist-recommended drink choices, but if a teen can't resist the soda, follow it up immediately by rinsing the mouth with water.
2. Avoid tongue piercings. It's no secret that teenagers like to experiment and push boundaries, which may include body piercings. One type of piercing that can do major damage to the teeth is, of course, tongue piercings. These piercings are notorious for causing simple cosmetic damage like chipped teeth, but can also lead to major problems like fractures that may require a root canal to repair.
3. Protect one's assets. A person's smile is one of their most valuable assets and should be protected when playing contact sports. Oral injuries are frequent among teens that play sports like football, soccer, basketball, hockey, and many more. While mouth guards can be purchased at a store, the best protection comes from a custom-fit guard created by the family dentist.
4. No smoking. Many teens go through a phase where they may want to try smoking tobacco. Long-term effects of smoking include increased risk for several types of cancer, strokes, lung disease and coronary heart disease. Immediate effects, however, include tooth and gum staining, tartar build-up and bad breath – that's not cute on anyone.
5. Care for dental braces. Many teens wear dental braces at some point, whether the traditional variety or an Invisalign-type product. It's extremely important that teenagers take particular care of their teeth while wearing braces, as food particles are more likely to get stuck in braces, which can lead to serious cavity problems. Keep a travel toothbrush and floss handy at all times for regular use and emergencies.

Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) condemned Rush Limbaugh's attacks on Georgetown Law student Sandra Fluke today, and said she is disappointed that more Republican and Democratic leaders haven't spoken out. Murkowski, who today said that she would take back her vote on the Blunt Amendment if given a chance, said Limbaugh's comments contribute "to this sense that women's health rights are being attacked." "What he said was just wrong. Just wrong," she told TPM, adding, "In the end, I'm a little bit disappointed that there hasn't been greater condemnation of his words by people in leadership positions." She said she was "stunned" by the comments, but given Limabugh's long record of attacking and belittling women, it should come as no surprise.

Should UGA hire Trooper Taylor to land 5-star linebacker Reuben Foster?
Foster floated that idea on Tuesday to ESPN's Kipp Adams:
"I would say Georgia's chances of getting me are somewhat dependent on Trooper Taylor being there too," Foster said. "He told me that he did not want to cause me to change where I want to be because of him, but I told him not to worry about that."
Trooper Taylor is the assistant who lured Foster to Auburn this past year. His future with Auburn is unknown after Tuesday's hiring of Gus Malzahn as head coach.
Trooper has become a father figure and mentor to Foster, who transferred from Troup High School to Alabama's Auburn High School for his senior year. Trooper basically has unlimited access to Foster – perfectly legal under NCAA rules – because his son plays on the same high school football team with Reuben, and they're close friends.
Foster remains committed to Auburn, although it may hinge of Trooper's future employment with the Tigers.
Foster originally committed to Alabama two summers ago. He switched to Auburn last summer, and got a gigantic Auburn tattoo on his forearm one day after making the announcement.
There were rumors that Foster was considering flipping to UGA after he skipped to Iron Bowl between Alabama and Auburn last month to watch the Bulldogs play Georgia Tech. Foster went to the game with one of his best friends, Newnan High School safety Tray Matthews, who is committed to UGA.
What about that Auburn tatt? Foster said UGA's coaches told him not to worry about it, that he could cover it up by wearing sleeves if he played for the Bulldogs.
UGA doesn't currently have any openings on its football staff, although the Bulldogs could create a position in administration.
Foster was once ranked as the nation's No. 2 overall prospect by ESPN, Scout, and Rivals. He has fallen in both ESPN and Rivals, but remains second with Scout.
What do you think? Should UGA hire Trooper Taylor to land 5-star linebacker Reuben Foster?
Note: Inappropriate BLOG comments and personal attacks will NOT be tolerated. We love the lively discussions but hate-filled, harassing and irresponsible comments are unacceptable.

December 5th, 2012
2:47 am
Come on Mike, really? Why on Earth would Coach Richt, knowing what you know about him as a person, go out and hire someone who is widely known to be one of the most unethical recruiters in the SEC? Trooper Taylor may be a nice guy on a personal level, but pretty much every HS Coach I know that has dealt with him says he has dirt on his hands. You can damn well bet that when these NCAA Sanctions come down on the plains, and they will because there are so many skeletons in that closet you could start a Halloween Store, TT will be smack dab in the middle of it. No self especting UGA fan who takes any pride in our Program or University would want that man in Athens. The fact that Rueben sees him as a father figure is disturbing and makes me wonder whether he is someone UGA would want as well.

You did have the third choice which is HELL NO. I agree with all of the above. Trooper does his own thing and there is no way McGarity would put up with that. Foster is showing he is more of an follower than leader . Not very intelligent on Fosters part when Trooper has him believing that he is a good guy and only has Fosters best interest at heart. Foster also is making it clear that he is not a very good judge of Character . TROOPER IS BAD NEW.
December 5th, 2012
4:00 am
Love you Coach Richt! I know you ARE going to win it all soon, Just like all great coaches you will get yours. It even took Saban 11 years and he didnt have to face a coach nearly as good as himself. Hard to beat Saban, especially when hes at a Bama. Its a stacked deck and UGA just have them ALL they could handle. What a game….what HEART. Too bad the defensive depth was lacking and it sure showed in the 2nd half with Bama running hurry up and dozens of plays. STILL only 1 play away. WHAT HEART. WHAT EFFORT. RICHT IS GONNA GET IT DONE. WE JUST NEED SOME DEPTH FROM GRANTHAMS RECRUITS FOR HIS SYSTEM. THATS ABOUT TO START HAPPENING IN HIS 4TH YEAR…..ITS A GREAT TIME TO BE A BULLDOG FAN…..THE FUTURE IS SET UPON A VERY STONG FOUNDATION…..IF MURRAY COMES BACK…..ITS GONNA BE INTERESTING!

No way should UGA ever hire Trooper Taylor……that is NCAA trouble waiting to happen (and sooner rather than later). With the hiring of Malzahn, AU is still "all in"…..Trooper will stay, Foster will sign there, and probation will happen (again).

That would be a dumb move and I feel confident that Mark Richt or Greg McGarity would not ever let that happen. Besides that, we saw what can happen to these super star recruits (Crowell).

Just the fact (if true) that Foster made this suggestion would eliminate him from my recruiting class in a heart beat. In all likelihood, Foster will be either 1) arrested (drugs, alcohol, domestic abuse, guns, robbery) or 2) flunk out or 3) both within 18 months, anyway.

This young man is extremely immature. Trooper has no moral standards. We do not need either these two. Our staff needs to concentrate on the other recruiting targets and forget about this one.
We need players who want to be at UGA to start. Take the tattoo and stay at Auburn.
December 5th, 2012
7:03 am
Ruben Foster is fast becoming "not worth the trouble." He should honor his commitment to Auburn. I am sure an alumnus at his new school paying for a tattoo removal is an NCAA violation. I can't imagine "covering it up" would be good enough for his teammates. And isn't Trooper the one Chizik took off the recruiting trail because the NCAA is looking?
December 5th, 2012

Trooper is a hood rat. Replay the Ga. auBums game 3yrs ago. Total classless person .

Pay attention to those warning signs Reuben Foster. Your beautiful daughter need her father to make wise decisions in life. Maybe you are too young to identify those warning signs but I can assure you that they are there. I'm just expressing my concerns for you and your family.
December 5th, 2012
7:42 am
This doesn't even warrant a long explanation or any thought- absolutely NO!
December 5th, 2012
7:49 am
Rescind the offer to Foster NOW if there is any hint of TrooperTaylor being around.
December 5th, 2012
7:52 am
I feel sorry for Reuben because if he makes his decision based on where Trooper Taylor is he is going to get burned. More than likely Auburn will not retain him because at some time during this investigation Taylor name is going to come up… maybe more than that. If Auburn retains him the school can not wash their hands of him. The sanctions will be much worse in that case. Anybody who hires him is going to have that hanging over their head as well.
Reuben Foster needs to make his decision based on where he wants to play and not upon where Trooper Taylor is or is not. I'd love for him to sign with the Dawgs but not at the cost of hiring Trooper Taylor.
December 5th, 2012
7:53 am
This nonsense has got to stop. When will NCAA wake up and see what's happening. The big losers in the end are the recruits who actually think they're worth all the hype. Besides, Auburn may be a mess but they're not stupid enough to cut ties with this guy even if he can't coach a lick. Starts sounding like a "street agent" after awhile.
December 5th, 2012

Not only no, but HELL NO!!!!
I don't even want him to wear red or black….at any time.

Why do I want a player whose heart is not with Georgia we have had way too many of those
and why would I want someone that is sure to get the program in trouble with the NCAA
December 5th, 2012
8:08 am
Trooper is directly responsible for the Barn's upcoming and latest installment of probation. NCAA should ban him.
December 5th, 2012
8:09 am
If Foster's decision is based on where Trooper Taylor will be, I'm not even sure UGA should recruit Foster.
December 5th, 2012
8:12 am
Not now since you wrote a article about it.
December 5th, 2012

Under no circumstance…
we may get him anyways. Why risk an assured NCAA investigation in the future by hiring a known "scumbag in recruiting"???
Absolutely will not happen.

Got my package in today! Great T/A and love that they have some things that you don't see in the normal UGL roster.

I ordered from mexgear 3 weeks ago and still have not received my correct order. First it was confiscated, next loss by post office-not mexgear fault- then finally I got it but it's wrong order. As of Friday Mexgear did not say respond saying they have sent correct product. I emailed again yesterday asking if they could send correct product but no reply.
They have great products and in the past I got all my orders. But this latest event makes me concerned and I wanted to warn everyone to proceed with caution right now. I will update if they resolve it. And hopefully they do because the omega brand var is GREAT! If someone on this site could help me out with this order issue I would greatly appreciate it.
get ya post count up to 10 and pm lil bambam ...I AM 100 PERCENT SURE HE WILL FIX . Shit happens sometimes that really sucks but thats what seperates sponcors and determines if you order from them again . If they fix it they have ya trust if they dont then you move on after letting it be known . Give em the chance
I do not at all want to write a bad review because I have had great success with mexgear in the past. Bam bam replies quickly to pm's, BUT I still havnt gotten my order. Also, I was told I would get attacking number few days ago but that hasn't happened. I am starting to get worried I may never get what I paid for. Again, bam bam is nice and helpful but nothing has changed with getting my product. Let's all hope it just shows up today or Monday and I can share the good news. But for now , my cycle has been thrown off almost 3 weeks. I had to order from someone else so I could at least get started on part of it and after 5 days I got that order. Hoping mexgear comes through so we don't have to order elsewhere
Good luck Vince. Really hope this problem is fixed for both of us. As the days go on it gets more and more doubtful
Update...within 15 minutes of posting and pm to bam and I got a tracking number. So, that's a nice step in right direction! .

Lack's Canucks win to end weekend of awkward reunions for Luongo
Mar 16, 2014, 7:26 PM EDT
For the most part, Roberto Luongo and those connected to the soap opera(s) that followed him can take a breather after Sunday.
After Luongo's Panthers frustrated Cory Schneider and the New Jersey Devils to defeat on Friday, his new* team couldn't manage the same feat against his former club the Vancouver Canucks, who squeaked by with a 4-3 shootout victory. If nothing else, Luongo, 33, is helping these games become more than just fodder for easy jokes.
And, actually, the jokes have been pretty good lately:
Eddie Lack probably let out a big sigh of relief with this win, as the coverage might have jumped a level to "insufferable" if his team failed against the East's second-lowest-ranked franchise.
Maybe Luongo let out a sigh of relief, too, as most of these negative nostalgia meetings are over. Then again, there's still one more to look forward to, as Schneider bids to finally beat his former goalie partner when the Panthers face the New Jersey Devils on March 31 …
Note: To say that the goalie storyline was the only thing to emerge would be incorrect. Beyond Alex Burrows finally contributing offensively for Vancouver, there was also Kevin Bieksa's impressive "save" to enjoy:

NASHVILLE (BP) -- When tragedy strikes, deep and abiding religious convictions, shared by so many in our country, rise to the surface and reveal what was thought to be discarded.
Much has been written about the secularization of America, and in some ways that is the case. Pew Research found that one in five adults in our nation have no religious affiliation, a group identified as the "Nones."
Oftentimes, research like this and other anecdotes about the waning influence of Christianity on the public square are presented as proof that America is no longer a religious nation. This supposedly demonstrates that we have left our religious traditions in history's dustbin. Then, a tragedy strikes.
Those times of grief reaffirm our identity as a religious nation. Shortly after the horrific news of the tornado devastation in Oklahoma, #PrayforOklahoma quickly rose to the top of Twitter's trending list as millions shared their prayers for the people who lost loved ones and had their homes destroyed.
In times of prosperity, far removed from tragedies, many people in our culture reject expressions of faith. In the moments of hopelessness, however, the desire to reach out to a higher power is an instinctive reflex.
Some may say, "But that's Oklahoma -- it's the Bible Belt." Yet, after the Sandy Hook tragedy, I was struck by the comment made by Connecticut Gov. Dan Malloy referencing our collective religious heritage:
"In the coming days, we will rely upon that which we have been taught and that which we inherently believe: that there is faith for a reason, and that faith is God's gift to all of us."
Many are embarrassed by this national identity -- until it is time to grieve. Then, politicians, celebrities and reporters can unashamedly say they are praying for those affected. News networks will show church bells ringing in memory of those lost. Nightly news shows feel the need to broadcast excerpts from sermons delivered by pastors in the area. Journalists interview religious leaders about how God can help us through.
And yes, that is where the discussion often begins. We consider why this would happen. Some people representing faith groups may speak quickly (and unwisely), assuming they can connect the dots between something in our culture and the most recent tragedy.
Others simply ask the question, "How could God allow this to happen?" These are hard questions and there are no easy answers. For me, I can say that moments like this remind me that I am desperate for a Savior, and they show me a world crying out for rescue.
Yes, Americans remain a religious people. It is not simply personal observations that bear this out. A closer look at the statistics demonstrates the staying power religion has in America, especially during difficult times.
LifeWay Research found that people tend to be more open to matters of faith during tragedies. After a national crisis like the terrorist attacks of 9/11, 38 percent said they were more open. More than 30 percent said a natural disaster would do the same, while 25 percent said the start of a war or international tension would cause them to be more receptive to religious considerations.
Even speaking broadly outside of tragic moments, Americans maintain a faith-based outlook. Of the 20 percent in the Pew poll who were religiously unaffiliated, 68 percent believe in God and 58 percent classify themselves as "religious" or "spiritual." In a 2011 national poll by LifeWay Research, 88 percent agreed "there is more to life than the physical world and society."
Frank Newport of the Gallup organization recently published "God Is Alive and Well: The Future of Religion in America." In it, he explains how religious we are:
"In the 1950s and 1960s, more people said that religion can answer all or most of the day's problems than say that today. But over the last 25 years, there hasn't been a lot of change. About six in 10 Americans consistently say that religion can answer life's problems. When we put it all together, we get the image of a basically religious American population whose underlying religiousness has not changed a lot in recent decades."
Times like this show that America still has faith. Yes, there is evidence of secularization in our culture. Yes, the "Nones" are on the rise. When tragedies strike, however, those deep and abiding religious convictions shared by so many in our country rise to the surface and reveal what was thought to be discarded. We still cry out to God because we, as a nation, still believe God is the one who can help.

By Joe Brock
ABUJA (Reuters) - U.S.-based Chevron Corp
Oil industry sources estimate the mean value of the three blocks combined at $500 million to $600 million and anticipate winning bids will be around those levels.
Chevron said in June it would be selling its 40 percent interest in five onshore blocks, joining Royal Dutch Shell
U.S. firm ConocoPhillips
Chevron wants to sell OML 52, 53 and 55 to one buyer and suitors will have to pay 15 percent of bids on September 30, three sources close to the deals told Reuters. The firm will sell two other blocks, OML 82 and OML 85, in a separate bidding process.
The U.S. firm did not respond to a request for comment.
The three blocks have total oil reserves of around 134 million barrels and 5 trillion cubic feet of gas, two sources said. One company was willing to bid $1.7 billion for the assets but it was unlikely it was a credible buyer, the sources said.
Consortium bidders were more likely to be able to raise the financing necessary, sources said, and as with recent sales of Shell oil blocks, Nigerian firms, many in partnership with foreign companies, are likely to win most bids.
Nigeria's South Atlantic Petroleum (SAPETRO), which already has joint ventures with Total and China's CNOOC, is expected to bid, as is First Hydrocarbon Nigeria, the local-arm of London-listed Afren
Afren declined to comment and SAPETRO did not respond to a request for comment.
Since 2010 Nigeria has had a policy of encouraging more direct ownership of its oil and gas by Nigerians, either through the state oil company or local private firms. That has raised concerns among foreign oil majors they may lose smaller assets if they do not sell now, industry experts say.
Worries over oil theft, fraught relations with communities living around oil fields and uncertainty over a stalled bill to overhaul fiscal terms has also encouraged majors to sell down.
Many Nigerian firms are backed by powerful political or business figures. The chairman of SAPETRO is General T.Y. Danjuma, a former minister of defense and chief of army staff.
SEPLAT, which is partly owned by French oil explorer Maurel & Prom
Indigenous Nigerian companies who already manage marginal fields in the delta, including Brittania-U, Vertex, Sogenal and Seven Energy have shown interest in the blocks, they said.
Chevron owns a 40 percent stake in 13 onshore blocks with Nigeria's state oil firm NNPC and also has deep offshore assets. Its 2012 net daily production in Nigeria averaged 238,000 barrels of crude oil and 165 million cubic feet of natural gas.
Nigeria's NNPC, which owns the remaining 60 percent of the blocks Chevron is selling, has warned prospective buyers that although the U.S. firm currently operates production of the blocks, it has the right to hand over the handling of drilling to its subsidiary NPDC.
Not having operatorship poses significant risks for would be investors in the fields, not least that NPDC is short on finance and expertise. It has usually had to call in a third-party to operate the blocks, pushing up costs.
Africa's biggest oil producer usually pumps 2 million to 2.5 million barrels per day of oil, most of which is exported.
Despite the sales of smaller onshore assets, oil majors like Shell, Exxon Mobil

Located in the heart of Ireland's west coast, the Shannon Region, comprising counties Clare, Limerick, South Offaly and North Tipperary, gives you amazing holiday options and unrivaled value for money.
Those Boots are made for walking...
The Shannon Region is made for walking - from its untamed coastline and unique geological formations to its rolling countryside and wild mountains. Visit 'Obama Country', as the Moneygall and Shinrone areas of Offaly are now being branded, and walk in the footsteps of President Barack Obama.
Slieve Bloom Mountains, Co. Offaly
The stark contrast of looming mountains rising suddenly from surrounding plain, gives this beautiful mountain range a lofty, imposing appearance which belies its modest 615m height. Blanket bog, lush green forests with picnic and amenity areas, sparkling tumbling rivers, streams and waterfalls, deep spectacular glens and peaceful villages make these lovely 155,400 hectacres of beauty a delightful touring destination. After a day of leisurely strolling, or serious hiking, relax and unwind in one of the beautiful nearby towns such as Birr with its Georgian architecture, Moneygall the ancestral home of President Barack Obama, and Banagher on the banks of the River Shannon.
Put Some Spring in Your Step
Get out and about and discover the beauty of the Shannon Region. A network of quiet country roads, forest paths and mountain and coastal trails traverse the Region. Several national and regional cycle routes traverse the Region and the variety of scenery is diverse – lowlands with rural villages and towns, castles, historic sites and parks, highlands with fantastic scenery and the rugged coastal seascapes. Whatever type of trail you enjoy, from a leisurely stroll in County Clare to the action packed mountain biking trails in Ballyhoura, County Limerick, you will find it on www.shannonregiontrails.ie

It defies nature's conventional rules. The region is nature's emigma with flowers normally found in the Mediterranean countries found growing harmonously here beside flowers normally found in Arctic regions. Often described as Europe's largest rock garden, it is a paradise for botonists, walkers, artists, and nautre lovers.

Wines where earthy and/or spicy dominate the flavors – typically medium to full body.
Full bodied wines that have concentrated fruit and are higher in alcohol and/or tannins. Some need age.
A deep plum red color, this wine displays some dark plum and
blackberry aromas. This is balanced with hints of pepper and
spices flavors released by the Mourvedre component and subtle
floral, violet character from the Viognier. The palate is full and
rich with dark fruits and spicy oak characters. Its long structure,

More goodness from my Sanctum Santorum...
A gift from Johnny Ryan, patterned after a parody from the back cover of Angry Youth Comix #1:
Two business card drawings I picked up at a con a few years ago for a couple of bucks each. I know nothing about either cartoonist, but I've always wanted to know what a little baby who looks ready to fight has to do with a strip called "Off the Record":
Here's a Dan Clowes drawing of Richie Rich's nemesis that graced a package he sent me many years ago:
And a gorgeous Al Columbia panel that Al gave me years ago:
Seattlest interviews Ellen Forney on the eve of her big party at the Fantagraphics Bookstore & Gallery tomorrow!
An enjoyable evening of weird short films, animation and banjo music with Dame Darcy at Show Cave this Saturday in Los Angeles. 1218 1/2 Temple St. 90026. See you there with bows on!
Evan Dorkin's recent, generous blog posts sharing convention sketches he's collected from the likes of Los Bros and Clowes have inspired me to share some small stuff I have at home in my studio that will fit on my teensy scanner and otherwise might just sit in here until I die and my wife or daughter sell it all on eBay.
First up, here's a card Evan himself gave me on the legendary Comic Book Legal Defense Fund Cruise, which has been on my bulletin board ever since.
I will collect one day.
Here's a piece I picked up at Comicon a few years ago for $30 (!). A "Li'l Abner" daily panel from 1951, mercilessly separated from its family by a greedy art dealer who thought he could get more for four pieces than one.
Here's a Charles Burns pencil rough for a panel in Black Hole:
And two panels edited out of Chris Ware's final Jimmy Corrigan edit (I think he just changed the wording slightly - "Reed" to "Dad", as I recall, but I haven't compared it for a few years):

More Old Jewish Comedians
This comprehensive collection of portraiture of Jewish comedians is a sequel to 2006's wildly popular Old Jewish Comedians, which earned Friedman raves from Jerry Lewis, Howard Stern, The Believer, Entertainment Weekly and many more, and earned Friedman his own roast at New York's legendary Friar's Club. This all-new collection includes the famous (Woody Allen, Carl Reiner, Mel Brooks, Soupy Sales, etc.), the not-so-famous (Jerry Stiller, Zeppo & Gummo Marx, Larry Storch, Zero Mostel, etc.) and the largely unknown (Molly Picon, Herbie Faye, Jan Milton, etc.). The Reuben Award-winning Friedman, one of the great caricaturists of his age, presents a thorough visual history of the 20th Century's greatest Borscht-Belt comedians through 28 full-page portraits; every crease, mustache hair, and liver spot looks utterly real. As Booklist put it (after the first OJC), "If only we were all funny enough to get Friedman to draw us!" A BLAB! Storybook.
36-page full-color 10" x 10" hardcover $16.99
Shag: A to Z presents, quite simply, 26 original paintings corresponding to the letters of the alphabet. Each painting is accompanied by a short verse extolling the pleasures of a hedonistic lifestyle and the virtues of overindulgence. Shag has spent the last decade creating a body of work based on his idiomatic aesthetic preferences, a world of mid 20th century modern architecture and design, populated by hedonists, supplicants, and indifferent women. A BLAB! Storybook.
32-page full-color 10" x 10" hardcover $14.95
Maakies with the Wrinkled Knees
Drinky Crow may be the drunken star of the weekly comic strip Maakies, but more often than not, he plays straight man to the hapless ape, Uncle Gabby. Here is the newest collection of Tony Millionaire's strip, never before published in book form. The suicide jokes may come less frequently than in earlier years, but the comedy and superb drawing style are at their peak, as is the volume of triple-X cartoon booze consumed.
120-page black & white 12" x 5" hardcover $19.95
New format! New design! In this special "Year in Review" issue, the most critically-acclaimed cartoonists of the year talk about their work and suss out the BEST COMICS of 2007 from a crowd of contenders; a crowd that includes the likes of Bryan Talbot, Grant Morrison, Adrian Tomine, Brian K. Vaughan, John Porcellino, Nick Bertozzi, Paul Karasik, Naoki Urasawa, Chris Ware, Gilbert Hernandez, Elvis Studio and Tony Millionaire. Plus — à la the Cannes Film Festival — last year's top creators give us their picks for this year's best comics. Alison Bechdel's literary graphic memoir Fun Home carried top honors for 2006 among Journal contributors: Who will earn that distinction in 2007? This newly designed issue also presents strips from the glamorous, panther-skin-suited debutante Miss Fury — the first super heroine created by a female cartoonist, Tarpe Mills, back in 1941. Noted comics historian Trina Robbins will provide an introduction detailing the fascinating facts of Mills' life.
200-page b&w/color 7.5" x 9.5" softcover $11.95

On June 5, Burley and I will be celebrating our 1 year anniversary. I am proud of what we have accomplished this year, and am so excited to celebrate!
I thought I would join you all in on the fun, after I saw my good friend Julie, over at the Smitten Mintons' wonderful idea.
Every day this week we will be celebrating something wedding-y. Normally, I am not the type to swoon over wedding details (which is probably why my wedding was pulled off only by the grace of God and the grace of my mom). However, I will permit myself this one week to snap into girly mode and share all of the things I am loving about the wedding scene this season.
So let's start off with Save the Dates... Because they are so much fun, and one of the first things to look forward to. I am going to highlight one of my favorite artists. Every single piece she creates is something I wish I had thought of myself! You know you're AMAZING when....
You can find her work in her shop on Etsy, or you can go straight to her website at Jack & Jill Weddings. Her and her husband work out of NY, so if you are in the area, support your local artists!
Here are a few of my fav's from Jack & Jill:
Hope you enjoy! And if you have any friends in the market for some killer save the dates... Feel free to name drop... Jack & Jill Weddings.
Thanks stopping by, Thriftarians! Let me know if you have any wedding highlights you would like to see this week... and buckle up your girly pants (not to be confused with underpants) for more to come on wedding week!
Mrs. Thriftary

Nike Air Diamond Turf II GS White/Pink/Black
Nike Sportswear decided to bring back the Nike Air Diamond Turf II this year. But they didn't forget about the small feet gang because they made it a point to release GS and other kids sizes. That's a good look for the ladies because sometimes classic models like this don't drop in GS sizes. Here's a new take on the Air Diamond Turf 2 that is now available in stores. A black, white, and pink colorway of the Air DT II is available in GS sizes. Ladies, you can grab a pair from Oneness or your local Nike retailer.

I love Hormone
That I am.....
Maximum the Hormone fan huh?
Possibly will be able to give recording a second shot today. Going to be redo'ing the rig for some additions I purchased today and see how she sounds.
I got ya, problem is something can sound thin and nasty by itself then blow your tits off double tracked or in a mix. You should hear my guitar tone single tracked, not pretty.
Lol, I know I know... Im just test running this whole post eq'ing thing. Trying to get my feet wet before I take the plunge..
Sounds better than the older ones! Clearer for sure. I think it could still use more high mid/high frequencies as it sounds a bit hollow. I would try double tracking it:P

Amanda Bynes' mother has finally broken her silence on her daughter. In an exclusive statement to People, Lynn Bynes, who was recently granted legal control of Amanda, said: "I would really like everyone out there to know that almost 99 percent of the things written about my daughter in various media outlets are false or misleading ... Both my husband and I love Amanda very much and we know that she will get through this situation."
While it's kinda hard to believe that 99 percent of the things written about Amanda are untrue, I'm sure there have been plenty of fabrications and exaggerations reported. It's heartbreaking to think that Amanda's parents were among the millions of people reading these god-awful things about their daughter. They must be so relieved to know she's in a safe place and getting the treatment she so desperately needed. And also, kinda makes the rest of us feel like jerkfaces.
The truth is, people can't avert their eyes from a good old fashioned celebrity meltdown. Whether it's part of your job to write about them ([sheepishly] hi), or you just love commenting on them to your friends or on weblogs, admit it. We've all dabbled in the spectator sport of celeb meltdowns.
More From Our Partners: Drake Reacts to Amanda Bynes' Tweets
It's easy to forget that these people are someone's kids. Typically, it seems like public meltdowns occur between the ages of Justin Bieber and Charlie Sheen, and, typically their parents are still around to witness it. It's easy (and, yes, a little fun) to make fun of these people, but ... imagine that was your kid? (Also, it's worth noting that, in the case of Miley Cyrus, it's a little different, because her parents seem to be perfectly happy with their daughter's behavior right now, and see nothing wrong with it.)
Glad to know that Amanda is in therapy right now, and close to her family, because, from the looks of things, her situation appeared to be getting worse by the second. Now let's just hope her parents don't let her out of their eyesight any time soon. Clearly, Amanda needs serious supervision.
What do you think of this?

I think she has a serious mental condition and it's absolutely not a joke or something to be poked fun at.
I wish her well what ever it maybe and i hope she is o.k and stay strong pretty lady you have alot of fans that love you dear and that are behind you and wish you well ignore all these crazy fools that have nothing nice to say and glad ur family is back in picture helping you dear enjoy ur peace and quite and when you feel better and ready we hope to see your beautiful amazing self once again no rush but when ur better and ready and thankyou too ur parents for keeping us aware a lil bit that you are o.k cause alot of us do truelly care <3 love you dear amanda :)
I hope she get's better! She is such a great actress!
I think if a parent needs to be granted "legal control" over their adult child, the reports might not be that misleading.
@crystalin she was diagnosed with schizophrenia and bi polar disorder
Everybody has parents. It's how much they care that counts.
