Design Is A Relationship
MIKE MONTEIRO is a man on a mission. He wants to improve design by fixing the core of it, which is the relationship between designer and client. Too many of us fear our clients—the people whose money keeps our lights on, and who hire us to solve business problems they can't solve for themselves. And too many clients are even more frustrated and puzzled by their designers than the designers are by the clients.
It's the designer's job to fix this, which is why Mike first wrote Design Is A Job, and spent two years taking the message into conference halls and meeting rooms from New Zealand to New York.
I wish every designer could read this book. I can't tell you how many friends of mine—many of whom I consider far better designers than I am—struggle every day with terrible anxieties over how a client will react to their work. And the problem isn't limited to web and interaction designers. Anybody who designs anything burns cycles in fear and acrimony. I too waste hours worrying about the client's reaction—but a dip into Mike's first book relaxes me like a warm milk bath, and reminds me that collaboration and persuasion are the essence of my craft and well within my power to execute.
If the designer's side of things were the only part of the problem Mike had addressed, it would be enough. But there is more:
- Next Mike will help clients understand what they should expect from a designer and learn how to hire one they can work with. How he will do that is still a secret—although folks attending An Event Apart San Francisco this week will get a clue.
- Design education is the third leg of the chair, and once he has spread his message to clients, Mike intends to fix that or die trying. As Mike sees it (and I agree) too many design programs turn out students who can defend their work in an academic critique session among their peers, but have no idea how to talk to clients and no comprehension of their problems. We are creating a generation of skilled and talented but only semi-employable designers—designers who, unless they have the luck to learn what their expensive education didn't teach them, will have miserably frustrating careers and turn out sub-par work that doesn't solve their clients' problems.
We web and interaction designers are always seeking to understand our user, and to solve the user's problems with empathy and compassion. Perhaps we should start with the user who hires us.

An Event Apart Atlanta 2011
YOU FIND ME ENSCONCED in the fabulous Buckhead, Atlanta Intercontinental Hotel, preparing to unleash An Event Apart Atlanta 2011, three days of design, code, and content strategy for people who make websites. Eric Meyer and I co-founded our traveling web conference in December, 2005; in 2006 we chose Atlanta for our second event, and it was the worst show we've ever done. We hosted at Turner Field, not realizing that half the audience would be forced to crane their necks around pillars if they wanted to see our speakers or the screen on which slides were projected.
Also not realizing that Turner Field's promised contractual ability to deliver Wi-Fi was more theoretical than factual: the venue's A/V guy spent the entire show trying to get an internet connection going. You could watch audience members twitchily check their laptops for email every fourteen seconds, then make the "no internet" face that is not unlike the face addicts make when the crack dealer is late, then check their laptops again.
The food was good, our speakers (including local hero Todd Dominey) had wise lessons to impart, and most attendees had a pretty good time, but Eric and I still shudder to remember everything that went wrong with that gig.
Not to jinx anything, but times have changed. We are now a major three-day event, thanks to a kick-ass staff and the wonderful community that has made this show its home. We thank you from the bottoms of our big grateful hearts.
I will see several hundred of you for the next three days. Those not attending may follow along:

HTML5, CSS3, UX, Design: Links from An Event Apart Boston 2011
THE SHOW IS OVER, but the memories, write-ups, demos, and links remain. Enjoy!
An Event Apart Boston 2011 group photo pool
Speakers, attendees, parties, and the wonders of Boston, captured by those who were there.
What Every Designer Should Know (a)
Jeremy Keith quite effectively live-blogs my opening keynote on the particular opportunities of Now in the field of web design, and the skills every designer needs to capitalize on the moment and make great things.
The Password Anti-Pattern
Related to my talk: Jeremy Keith's original write-up on a notorious but all-too-common practice. If your boss or client tells you to design this pattern, just say no. Design that does not serve users does not serve business.
What Every Designer Should Know (b)
"In his opening keynote … Jeffrey Zeldman talked about the skills and opportunities that should be top of mind for everyone designing on the Web today." Luke Wroblewski's write-up.
Whitney Hess: Design Principles — The Philosophy of UX
"As a consultant, [Whitney] spends a lot of time talking about UX and inevitably, the talk turns to deliverables and process but really we should be establishing a philosophy about how to treat people, in the same way that visual design is about establishing a philosophy about how make an impact. Visual design has principles to achieve that: contrast, emphasis, balance, proportion, rhythm, movement, texture, harmony and unity." In this talk, Whitney proposed a set of 10 principles for UX design.
Veerle Pieters: The Experimental Zone
Live blogging by Jeremy Keith. Veerle, a noted graphic and interaction designer from Belgium, shared her process for discovering design through iteration and experimentation.
Luke Wroblewski: Mobile Web Design Moves
Luke's live awesomeness cannot be captured in dead written words, but Mr Keith does a splendid job of quickly sketching many of the leading ideas in this key AEA 2011 talk.
See also: funky dance moves with Luke Wroblewski, a very short video I captured as Luke led the crowd in the opening moves of Michael Jackson's "Thriller."
Ethan Marcotte: The Responsive Designer's Workflow (a)
"The next talk here at An Event Apart in Boston is one I've really, really, really been looking forward to: it's a presentation by my hero Ethan Marcotte."
Ethan Marcotte: The Responsive Designer's Workflow (b)
Ethan's amazing talk—a key aspect of design in 2011 and AEA session of note—as captured by the great Luke Wroblewski.
An Event Apart: The Secret Lives of Links—Jared Spool
"In his presentation at An Event Apart in Boston, MA 2011 Jared Spool detailed the importance and role of links on Web pages." No writer can capture Jared Spool's engaging personality or the quips that produce raucous laughter throughout his sessions, but Luke does an outstanding job of noting the primary ideas Jared shares in this riveting and highly useful UX session.
An Event Apart: All Our Yesterdays—Jeremy Keith
Luke W: "In his All Our Yesterdays presentation at An Event Apart in Boston, MA 2011 Jeremy Keith outlined the problem of digital preservation on the Web and provided some strategies for taking a long term view of our Web pages."
Although it is hard to pick highlights among such great speakers and topics, this talk was a highlight for me. As in, it blew my mind. Several people said it should be a TED talk.
An Event Apart: From Idea to Interface—Aarron Walter
Luke: "In his Idea to Interface presentation at An Event Apart in Boston, MA 2011 Aarron Walter encouraged Web designers and developers to tackle their personal projects by walking through examples and ways to jump in. Here are my notes from his talk."
Links and Resources from "From Idea to Interface"
Compiled by the speaker, links include Design Personas Template and Example, the story behind the illustrations in the presentation created by Mike Rhode, Dribble, Huffduffer, Sketchboards, Mustache for inserting data into your prototypes, Keynote Kung Fu, Mocking Bird, Yahoo Design Patterns, MailChimp Design Pattern Library, Object Oriented CSS by Nicole Sullivan and more!
An Event Apart: CSS3 Animations—Andy Clarke
"In his Smoke Gets In Your Eyes presentation at An Event Apart in Boston, MA 2011 Andy Clarke showcased what is possible with CSS3 animations using transitions and transforms in the WebKit browser." Write-up by the legendary Luke Wroblewski.
The "Mad Men" opening titles re-created entirely in CSS3 animation. (Currently requires Webkit browser, e.g. Safari, Chrome.)
CSS3 Animation List
Anthony Calzadilla, a key collaborator on the Mad Men CSS3 animation, showcases his works.
Box Shadow Curl
Pure CSS3 box-shadow page curl effect. Mentioned during Ethan Marcotte's Day 3 session on exploring CSS3.
Multiple CSS Transition Durations
Fascinating article by Anton Peck (who attended the show). Proposed: a solution to a key problem with CSS transitions. ("Even now, my main issue with transitions is that they use the same time-length value for the inbound effect as they do the outbound. For example, when you create a transition on an image with a 1-second duration, you get that length of time for both mousing over, and mousing away from the object. This type of behavior should be avoided, for the sake of the end-user!")
Everything You Wanted to Know About CSS3 Gradients
Ethan Marcotte: "Hello. I am here to discuss CSS3 gradients. Because, let's face it, what the web really needed was more gradients."
Ultimate CSS3 Gradient Generator
Like it says.
Linear Gradients Generator
By the incomparable John Allsopp.
These sessions were not captured
Some of our best talks were not captured by note-takers, at least not to my knowledge. They include:
- Eric Meyer: CSS Anarchist's Cookbook
- Mark Boulton: Outing the Mind: Designing Layouts That Think for You
- Jeff Veen: Disaster, DNA, and the Fathomless Depth of the Web
It's possible that the special nature of these presentations made them impossible to capture in session notes. (You had to be there.)
There are also no notes on the two half-day workshop sessions, "Understand HTML5 With Jeremy Keith," and "Explore CSS3 With Ethan Marcotte."
What have I missed?
Attendees and followers, below please add the URLs of related educational links, write-ups, and tools I've missed here. Thanks!

You are all in publishing!
ON SUNDAY, while leading a discussion on the future of web design and publishing, I noticed a slightly confused look appearing on some faces in the audience. The discussion had been billed as "Jeffrey Zeldman's Awesome Internet Design Panel," and I thought perhaps there was a disconnect for some in the audience between "design" and such topics as where content comes from and who pays for it.
So I asked, "Who here is in publishing?"
A few hands were gently raised.
Uh-huh. "And how many of you work on the web?"
Every right hand in the room shot up.
"You are all in publishing," I explained.
Now, I like a good rounded corner talk as much as the next designer. I've given my share of them. Also of line height and measure, color and contrast, how to design things that don't work in old versions of Internet Explorer, and so on. In the practice of web and interaction design, there will always be a place for craft discussions—for craft is execution, and ideas without execution are songs without music, meaningless.
But right now (and always) there is a need for design to also be about the big strategic issues. And right now, as much as design is wrestling with open vs. proprietary formats and the old challenges of new devices, design is also very much in the service of applications and publishing. Who gets content, who pays for it, how it is distributed (and how evenly), the balance between broadcast and conversation, editor and user—these are the issues of this moment, and it is designers even more than editors who will answer these riddles.

From Those Wonderful Folks Who Gave You Meow Mix
I'VE TRAINED my cats to think they're in charge, and to think they exact a tribute of two breakfasts from me each morning.
Initially I feed them each half a small can of salmon. The white cat finishes first, and scratches at the cabinets for more. As if in response, I feed them each a half can of whitefish, exactly as I always intended to. They finish with gusto, convinced that they've won.
I am so in client services.
And if you want to know how to succeed in client services, I've just told you.

HTML5 vs. HTML
Hence the HTML5 logo effort, intended as an identity system for all the hot new standards technologies—and initially bogged down by a controversy in our circle about theW3C muddying the waters. The actual muddying began when Steve Jobs announced Apple's support for HTML5 by pointing to web stuff created with CSS3. In other words, the inaccurate use of "HTML5″ to cover HTML and non-HTML technologies coincided with the surge of interest in those technologies under that inaccurate label. Which is why some thought leaders in our community have reckoned that the business community's confusion about what HTML5 actually means doesn't matter so much, as long as they are clamoring for great sites, accessibly designed with web standards—and as long as developers know the difference between HTML5 and, say, CSS3.
In any case, soon after the standards digerati declared the HTML5 banner launch a communications fiasco, it emerged that the launch was actually merely a communications snafu.
An updated FAQ makes it clear that HTML5 means HTML5, that CSS3 is not part of the HTML5 specification, and so on. The W3C's clarification allows the standards organization to have it both ways in a fashion acceptable to all. In times past, the W3C argued passionately within its own walls during the creation of web standards, only to passively release them as "recommendations" to a world that often ignored them—the development of XHTML 2 in the pure absence of worldly interest was probably the culmination of that phase. But today's W3C has learned better. It has learned to engage its constituents and to seek approval beyond its immediate constituents—i.e. to reach out to the business community, not just to the authors of O'Reilly and Peachpit books. Its "HTML5″ identity effort represents a reasonable and meritorious effort to cash in on, prolong, and extend the world's already keen interest in HTML5 and related technologies and practices. Meantime, the little FAQ page and other minor editorial clarifications allow the W3C to pacify its knowledgeable critics and duck the charge that it is blurring the lines between HTML, CSS, and other technologies.
Now that the story appears to be heading purposefully in a single direction, a kink in the works was inevitable.
That kink is also not surprising and not entirely unanticipated. Just when the W3C figures out that HTML5 is hot, the WHAT Working Group (the splinter group that created the actual HTML5 specification in the first place) has decided that HTML is the new HTML5:
- The HTML specification will henceforth just be known as "HTML", with the URL
http://whatwg.org/html. (We will also continue to maintain the Web Applications 1.0 specification that contains HTML and a number of related APIs like Web Storage, Web Workers, and Server-Sent Events.)
- The WHATWG HTML spec can now be considered a "living standard". It's more mature than any version of the HTML specification to date, so it made no sense for us to keep referring to it as merely a draft. We will no longer be following the "snapshot" model of spec development, with the occasional "call for comments", "call for implementations", and so forth.
Those who are surprised should remember that the HTML5
doctype references "HTML" with no version number. In the thinking of its creators, HTML5 was always just HTML. It looked backward (the first web page ever written would be valid HTML5 with the addition of a doctype) and forward. It would continue to evolve. The WHAT WG gave itself the job of steering and updating HTML, while the W3C took on the task of maintaining milestones (a task it will continue to perform).
In practice, the WHATWG has basically been operating like this for years, and indeed we were going to change the name last year but ended up deciding to wait a bit since people still used the term "HTML5″ a lot. However, the term is now basically being used to mean anything Web-standards-related, so it's time to move on!
To those inside the circle of trust, there is no contradiction here. The W3C will doubtless continue to market HTML5, and, for a time, design technologists will continue to write HTML5 books and teach HTML5 classes, if only to acknowledge HTML's new capabilities and to clearly mark the break from the technologies and practices of the past. Eventually, quite probably, the WHAT WG's view will take hold, and we will view HTML as a living specification.
Meantime, we'll take 5.
Thanks to J. David Eisenberg for the nudge.

2010: The Year in Web Standards
WHAT A YEAR 2010 has been. It was the year HTML5 and CSS3 broke wide; the year the iPad, iPhone, and Android led designers down the contradictory paths of proprietary application design and standards-based mobile web application design—in both cases focused on user needs, simplicity, and new ways of interacting thanks to small screens and touch-sensitive surfaces.
It was the third year in a row that everyone was talking about content strategy and designers refused to "just comp something up" without first conducting research and developing a user experience strategy.
Even outside the newest, best browsers, things were better than ever. Modernizr and eCSStender brought advanced selectors and @font-face to archaic browsers (not to mention HTML5 and SVG, in the case of Modernizr). Tim Murtaugh and Mike Pick's HTML5 Reset and Paul Irish's HTML5 Boilerplate gave us clean starting points for HTML5- and CSS3-powered sites.
Web fonts were everywhere—from the W3C to small personal and large commercial websites—thanks to pioneering syntax constructions by Paul Irish and Richard Fink, fine open-source products like the Font Squirrel @Font-Face Generator,
open-source liberal font licensing like FontSpring's, and terrific service platforms led by Typekit and including Fontdeck, Webtype, Typotheque, and Kernest.
Print continued its move to networked screens. iPhone found a worthy adversary in Android. Webkit was ubiquitous.
Insights into the new spirit of web design, from a wide variety of extremely smart people, can be seen and heard on The Big Web Show, which Dan Benjamin and I started this year (and which won Video Podcast of the Year in the 2010 .net Awards), on Dan's other shows on the 5by5 network, on the Workers of the Web podcast by Alan Houser and Eric Anderson, and of course in A List Apart for people who make websites.
Zeldman.com: The Year in Review
A few things I wrote here at zeldman.com this year (some related to web standards and design, some not) may be worth reviewing:
- iPad as the New Flash 17 October 2010
- Masturbatory novelty is not a business strategy.
- Flash, iPad, and Standards 1 February 2010
- Lack of Flash in the iPad (and before that, in the iPhone) is a win for accessible, standards-based design. Not because Flash is bad, but because the increasing popularity of devices that don't support Flash is going to force recalcitrant web developers to build the semantic HTML layer first.
- An InDesign for HTML and CSS? 5 July 2010
- while our current tools can certainly stand improvement, no company will ever create "the modern day equivalent of Illustrator and PageMaker for CSS, HTML5 and JavaScript." The assumption that a such thing is possible suggests a lack of understanding.
- Stop Chasing Followers 21 April 2010
- The web is not a game of "eyeballs." Never has been, never will be. Influence matters, numbers don't.
- Crowdsourcing Dickens 23 March 2010
- Like it says.
- My Love/Hate Affair with Typekit 22 March 2010
- Like it says.
- You Cannot Copyright A Tweet 25 February 2010
- Like it says.
- Free Advice: Show Up Early 5 February 2010
- Love means never having to say you're sorry, but client services means apologizing every five minutes. Give yourself one less thing to be sorry for. Take some free advice. Show up often, and show up early.
Outside Reading
A few things I wrote elsewhere might repay your interest as well:
- The Future of Web Standards 26 September, for .net Magazine
- Cheap, complex devices such as the iPhone and the Droid have come along at precisely the moment when HTML5, CSS3 and web fonts are ready for action; when standards-based web development is no longer relegated to the fringe; and when web designers, no longer content to merely decorate screens, are crafting provocative, multi-platform experiences. Is this the dawn of a new web?
- Style vs. Design written in 1999 and slightly revised in 2005, for Adobe
- When Style is a fetish, sites confuse visitors, hurting users and the companies that paid for the sites. When designers don't start by asking who will use the site, and what they will use it for, we get meaningless eye candy that gives beauty a bad name.
Happy New Year, all!

"The League," along with "It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia" and "Archer," helps make FX one of the funniest -- and edgiest -- networks for comedy rig...
Raw and emotionally truthful, The Freebie is an intriguing two-hander (mostly), about the dangers of temptation and the freedom of monogamy. Which may seem like a contradiction in terms.
Utopia was not only moving but a reminder that there's power conjured through the experience of collectively watching cinema. For this reason, it aptly captures the spirit of rebellion that Sundance 2010 was all about.

From "Panther's Quest, Part VI" in Marvel Comics Presents #18, May 1989. Art by Gene Colan and Tom Palmer. Words by Don McGregor.
"Panther's Quest" has never been collected; the stories are scattered in eight-page installments that are no longer in print. But McGregor and Colan's "Detectives, Inc." stories are collected here.
Roughly 20 more copies need to be sold before Don McGregor's royalties start kicking in. He and his family have had a number of health issues lately, so he could definitely use some extra income. Do you think we can make that happen before the holidays? If you reblog this, we can get the word out.
my heroes; if it will help him out I'll...hell out of this.

I love Don McGregor's work. And you should give it a try!

Defeat Lyon, Reed School's Second Leading Scorer
Click for Box Scor
, Tenn.
– NAIA No. 18 Trevecca (13-8, 7-4) defeated No. RV Lyon College (14-9, 5-7) by the score of 77-70 on Saturday. Trevecca freshman K.C. Van Atta led Trevecca with a season and career high 22 points. Trevecca senior Mariska Reed is now the schools second career leading scorer with 1,512 career points. Reed, who is already the career steals leader, also ranks in the top five in program history in rebounds and assists. Only current assistant coach Jennifer Wilson (2,109) has more career points than Reed in Trevecca women's basketball history.
When Lyon's Snezana Jovanovic hit a field goal with 10:22 to go in the first half the Pipers pulled ahead 18-13. Trevecca turned that around and pulled ahead 36-28 at the half with a 23-10 run to close the half.
The Pipers cut the Trojan lead to just five points (42-37) with 15:13 to go. Trevecca's Kristin Archie stole the ball and drove the length of the court to hit a layup with 11:59 to go that put Trevecca up 53-37. It capped an 11-0 run that put the Trojans in a comfortable position. Lyon and sensational freshman K.K. Hodges (37 points, nine rebounds) cut the lead to just seven points again, but could get no closer. Trevecca was led by one of their talented freshman, K.C. Van Atta, who led the team with 22 points.
Mariska Reed led Trevecca with five assists and four steals. Jennifer Bognar had a team high two blocks. MyRanda Wright led the team with nine rebounds. Abby Lawson (14) and Christian Gibson (11) also scored in double figures. Trevecca's bench outscored Lyon's 38-6.
Trevecca will travel to Jackson, Tenn. to face No. 16 Lambuth University (17-7, 9-3) on Monday at 6:00 p.m.

my new doll photos are always pretty similar and i apologize for that; it's usually me trying to find their most photogenic angles and whatnot, and aragorn is a kinda-strange-looking sculpt in person.. so that's gonna take me a while, fffftt /cries a little
(Source: terriblescare)
inarus, yan; both are delf aragorn. ina's the tan one!
it took me way too long to change their eyes for some reason - and gosh aragorn has a weird egg-shaped head :V tbh they're not really what i was expecting from the stock photos, but i love 'em all the same <3

Is it going to Mars...
by John Brown
...with a cute little kitty cat?

Nice First Post There
by TisketMaster
You didn't say first, but you invoked the kitty cat skit...which is really a tossup as to which is worse. And once again, snl referenced Aliens AND The Thing in that skit.

i dont know who he is...
by professorjack
but he seemed likeable in the ads. Did he say "nigga" in the last part? Saw that in an ad during "parks & rec", couldnt imagine they'd air it if thats what he actually said but cant figure out what he i really did say...
Oct. 20, 2012, 12:57 a.m. CST
Yeah, not familiar with the guy either beyond the last time he was on the show.

I actually liked last week's show...
by saultonofswing
The cold open, weekend update, the pretaped short bits...pretty much everything except the actual live sketches was funny. So...about 18% of the show. Which is more than usual.

Musical guests
by John
I much prefer the good old days where they'd have established musical guests instead of acts no one outside of NYC or LA have ever heard of. Bring on some more country artists. I still wonder if they tell the audience to really scream when the music artists are announced? If I were there I'd be going "who?"

Hope they include an Elvis Sketch
by schlockthemonkey
Bruno was at one time the worlds youngest Elvis impersonator... even appeared in Honeymoon In Vegas. Not a huge fan of his, but you can't deny he has talent.
Oct. 20, 2012, 10:59 a.m. CST
by Chaz
In the last two years he's had three #1 singles, four top 5 singles and another top 10 single. His debut album sold over 1.5 million copies in the U.S. and 1 million in the U.K. He was nominated for 7 Grammy's this year. Have you guys heard of this person called "Lady Gaga?"
Oct. 20, 2012, 12:08 p.m. CST
Gotta agree with vogueish here...
by Skraggo
I'm a little surprised to see all the "Who the hell is Bruno Mars?" posts. Hell, I'm the World's Oldest 40 Year Old and spend the better part of most days shooing pesky kids off my lawn and grumbling about Facebook and "Tweeter," and even I feel like I've been unable to escape this guy for the past couple of years.

I thought they were gonna do a skit about the conspiracy theory that NASA never landed the rover on mars and is actually filming the rover in a desert out west. now that would of been hilarious. have the rover come up on campers or tourists and such.

Oct. 20, 2012, 6:57 p.m. CST
A real challenge for the writers this week . . .
by jocutus
Every skit will have to explain why Bruno Mars' character is wearing a fedora (I'm 90% certain it is surgically attached). Maybe they will all be set in the 30s or 40s just to simplify it.

SNL slanting for Obama
by Bass Ackwards
I guess, but then what's the scathing indictment against Romney that you guys are apparently seeing in these skits? As far as I can tell its just a couple of guys kind of doing impressions and being silly.
Oct. 22, 2012, 5:48 a.m. CST
Best political comment on the show
by Bass Ackwards
What would you do to keep dangerous assault weapons like AK-47s off the street? Nothing I would also do nothing That got a good laugh from me, beyond that I think the show is really pretty apolitical, and neither smart nor satirical, mostly silly (which is also good for a few laughs).
Oct. 22, 2012, 3:13 p.m. CST
For this week's slant... All you needed to do was watch the 2nd debate sketch
by tailhook
Where they made a funny about Tagg Romney wanting to take a swing at Obama but then left out that Michelle Obama was the only person in the immediate ring of people that openly clapped for Obama during the Libya question. No cheerleading jokes, or is making fun of the administration 'not funny'? They do love to carry water for the administration, don't they?
Oct. 22, 2012, 5:10 p.m. CST
They definately favor Obama; even when they skewer him
by Ingeld
it is usually a reflection of being dissapointed by him--not dissapointed in his politics--but his ability to get his message across in his campaign. I thought it was particulary during during the Weekend update segment. Seth suggested that the reason that Romney was ahead in the polls because only backwards losers (the ones who support Romney) would have landlines to answer polling calls. In addition, he suggested that the only reason people in rural areas were voting for Romney was because of skin color. I can't imagine him doing a joke in which he suggests that the only reason inner city voters are voting for Obama is due to skin color.

Wa-Hi's Nathan Summerlin, right, gives Daniel Camacho a bear hug for the hit and the win after Comacho drove in the game-winning run in the bottom of the 8th inning to beat visiting Pasco 3-2 in the first game, Friday afternoon at Murr Field.
Stories this photo appears in:
Wa-Hi takes No. 2 seed at districts with split against Pasco
WALLA WALLA — Walla Walla High School needed to at least split against last-place Pasco Friday to have a chance at the Mid-Columbia Conference No. 2 seed in the Class 4A playoffs and it did that — barely. The Blue Devils squeaked out a 3-2 victory over Pasco in eight innings in the opener, and held a 5-3 lead after six innings

Chapter 22 Reviews
What if Itachi had been different? What if Sasuke had been told what his brother was going to do? What if the Uchiha clan wasnt as perfect as everyone thought?
Warnings: See chapter one.
Disclaimer: See chapter one.
((Hand Signals))
Chapter Two
It was late by the time Itachi had gotten to bed that night. The next day he woke up stiff, a large bruise on his left cheek smarting. A glance in the mirror revealed the green tinged monstrosity on his pale, usually unblemished, face. 'Damn.'
The door creaked open. Itachi stiffened and slid a kuni into his hand, then let out a sigh of relief when he met the jaded eyes of his five-year-old brother.
Then he noticed what he was carrying. In Sasuke's arms, he had an assortment of medical creams, painkillers, and make-up.
Despite being wounded himself, his little brother had taken the liberty of bringing all the things Itachi needed to him, just so he could avoid their father. Itachi smiled.
Sasuke looked up into his elder brothers face and was surprised when he noticed a small smile spread across Itachi's's face. But it didn't reach his eyes.
Sasuke had always been good at reading people's emotions by looking into their eyes. It had been his secret ever sense he could remember. And he loved it. There were so many emotions in a person's eyes at any given time. Some people thought they could blank their faces, wipe out all emotion, but whatever they did, a small flicker of something was always there.
And Sasuke knew it.
But what he saw in his brother's eyes, he found odd. Looking deep into the eyes of Itachi he saw things that made his shiver. Despair. Curiosity. Worry. Sadness. Fright. Nervousness. Malice. Hate.
Dropping the assortment, ignoring the pain in his ribs, Sasuke spoke. "What are you going to do."
Startled, Itachi blinked. "What are you talking about? Im not doing anything."
Saddened, Sasuke started to walk away. "You lie to me. You are tense. You are jumpy. Something is going on. I want to know what that something is."
But instead of talking, Itachi did something that puzzled Sasuke. He laughed.
His emotions must have shown on Sasuke's face, because Itachi explained, "Sometimes, your too grown up for your own good."
Then the elder son grew serious. "They are going to pay."
Sasuke looked deep into his brothers eyes as though he was trying to detect a lie or a terrifying untruth.
"Those people we call out clan. What they have done... They will pay for." Itachi paused, Sasuke could see that he was hesitant to say what he was attempting to explain. "Sasuke... Im going to kill then."
Itachi looked hard at the five year old in front of him. Sasuke had gone stock still, eyes wide. Itachi saw something he couldn't recognize in his baby brothers stance. Slightly startled by his reaction, the elder child turned to walk away, when small soft fingers grasped his sleeve. Looking down, Itachi say Sasuke's gaze boring into his.
"You can't kill mother."
For such a simple sentence, it worked wonder to infuriate Itachi. His face contorted with anger and his sharingan activated. He spat his next words as he would a disgusting curse. "And why not? Do you not see her grinning in the background while out pathetic father hurts you? Do you not hear her encouraging him when he slashes at your flesh like you're a piece of meat? What has she done to deserve life?"
During his small speech Sasuke had drawn back and tears onyx eyes. Softly he whispered "You can't harm a pregnant woman!"
A/N: So! How is it? Sorry for the short chapters! I cant help myself !

"Well, that hair, those limbs, that surprising brain. it's like she's from another planet. She's a true eccentric. Karen provides my funniest moments on a daily basis. Seeing her run. Seeing her move. Seeing those limbs extend. When she opens her mouth, it tends to be funny – unwittingly, but funny. But underneath her mad exterior, she's sharp. She's just perfectly Amy Pond. People love her. She's hilarious." - Matt Smith
People love her? Oh, honey.

Based on the hugely popular manga series Lone Wolf And Cub by Kazuo Koike and Goeski Kojima, Shogun Assassin is, in actual fact, made up of the first two films from Japanese director Kenji Misumi's six-film adaptation.
Originally edited together and reworked for US audiences, it features 11 minutes from Sword Of Vengeance and more than 70 minutes from Baby Cart On The River Styx, and was a cult hit on its original release.
Since then it has developed a sizeable following, even if the BBFC in its infinite wisdom once banned it as a video nasty.
The story is a simple one of loyalty, love and bloody revenge. In Feudal Japan, Ogami Itto (Tomisaburo Wakayama), the Shogun's chief decapitator, is betrayed by his insane ruler.
Following the murder of his wife he sets out on the road to vengeance – a poetic description for what, effectively, amounts to slicing and dicing anyone and everyone who crosses his path.
Together with his young son Daigoro (Masahiro Tomikawa), pushed along in a wooden cart kitted out with assorted hidden weaponry, Ogami survives as a sword for hire.
The result sets the screen awash with bloody crimson geysers, as feet, hands, ears and arms are chopped off, bodies impaled and heads decapitated.
Originally shot in 1973-74, before being re-cut and dubbed in 1980, the film has, inevitably, dated (not least the synth-heavy electronic score).
However, there's still much to revel in: from Misumi's gutsy, furious direction and comic-strip framing, to Wakayama's sublimely stoic performance and the seemingly endless shots of arterial spray.
For fans who've had to make do for years with poor-quality DVDs, Eureka's 1080p transfer is a godsend.
It's not perfect – there are marks on the print and the image is, occasionally, a little soft, but it looks arguably better than it did when it was originally released.
The Blu-ray includes both the dubbed 1980 theatrical version and a subtitled, original-language option, as well as two commentaries: an 'expert' one featuring Asian film scholar Ric Myers and martial arts expert Steve Watson.
The second is a 'production' commentary, with Shogun Assassin producer David Weisman and Gibran Evans (the latter provided Daigoro's voiceover for the 1980 release).
Both are well worth a listen; much less informative is a brief video interview with Asian film fan Samuel L Jackson.
The Bluray also comes in a limited edition dualformat steelbook version.
For fans of Shogun Assassin or the original Lone Wolf And Cub comic, a gloriously presented gory treat.

What is the creepiest thing to have ever happened to you?

YESSSS!!!! One of my most surreal moments happened at 8:45 a.m. on 9/11/01. I worked in Portland, Maine at the time and was walking to my job, which began at 9:00. On the sidewalk I saw not one, not two, but THREE dead birds -- not all together, but within a couple of blocks of one another. I thought "wow, how unusual!" when I saw the first two. But when I saw the third dead bird, a voice clear as a bell said to me "Pray for those who have died and who are about to die." I will NEVER forget that voice or that command.
So - I paused on the sidewalk and said a quick prayer (I've learned to listen to voices in my head) then walked on to the office. A few minutes later the first plane hit the World Trade Tower.
These few minutes altered my life forever. I decided to devote my life to prayer - it seemed a very clear directive from God to do so - and I came to the convent on January 1, 2002.
The dead birds remain a mystery. There were not there on my return trip home.
Love - and prayers! - to all,

Before and After: AphroChic's Home Office Makeover
We were very impressed by this home office makeover. The space was originally a large storage space, brimming with boxes. And now...
It is gor-geous! The sparkly Moroccan rug is perfection (where can we get one?), and the mixture of colors enlivening.office style contest, visit the AphroChic website.
12 Comments
yuck . . . that rug is horrible
I like what she did...she mad this small space into her own. Even though its not completely my style....i think its real cute!
Jen Ramos
'100% Recycled DESIGNER Cards & More'
Oh, quick hocking yourself. I can live with a link, but that's a mini bio.
I think Viva Terra has that rug. It's actually a Moroccan Wedding Quilt. I like it- but I would use it on a bed.
I really like the wall paper and I think the individual pieces are cool, it just doesn't seem to all flow together.
I definitely welcome all of your comments. The rug is a Moroccan wedding blanket I received from the wonderful Maryam in Marrakesh. Although I would have loved to use it as a blanket for my bedroom (and that was the original intent), it's very heavy, and really works better as a rug for me.
The wallpaper is actually wrapping paper that I purchased at Border's. My hubbie and I just nailed it to the wall with some finishing nails, and it really came out great.
For some, all of these things may not go together, but for me they do. I love French antiques, and definitely want to have my culture reflected in my decor as well. That's what I was going for, and I think I achieved a space that is uniquely me.
Come on over and visit the contest! Thank you Lily and everyone at AT SF.
Love it! Totally welcoming with a touch of the exotic. Can you come do my closet? :)
Thank you Mrs.Mack! Seriously, this trend of of people spamming the AT comments with their blog URLs is getting majorly annoying.
Maryam of "My Marrakesh" is now full on selling rugs and blankets at http://moroccanmaryam.typepad.com/ -- you have to inquire about prices.
That said, the room feels kind of cluttered to me.
This is totally livable and interesting. I love it.
Sorry, but I kept scrolling up and down, looking for the after. I could send a pic of my office because you'd easily be as unimpressed :(
Aphro Chic:
I really like the "rug" but... I'll hang that to the wall. In 6 month you are gonna regret if you don't. White? never on the floor... and I'm sure the silver is not washable. I've been in the cleaning industry for 9 years now. It's a tip from a pro. ;-)
It's too nice to be dirty.
By the way I love your "wall paper"!!!
Good job!

Hospital Receptionist in Kate Middleton Pregnancy Prank Found Dead
I'm really hoping this isn't what it appears to be. It was only a couple of days ago that news broke about two Australian radio pranksters who managed to call up Kate Middleton's hospital room and get her nurse to divulge information about her pregnancy sickness. The nurse told the two radio DJs, who were posing as Prince Charles and the Queen (and not doing a very good job of it), about how Kate seemed to be on the mend, and how Prince William had visited her the night before.
The call caused outrage that the two would invade the Duchess's privacy like that. And now here comes very strange, very horrible news: The receptionist who was duped into thinking she was putting the Queen through to Kate's room has been found dead outside the hospital.
No one seems to know yet exactly what happened or what she died from, but at least one source is reportedly telling the Daily Mail that she committed suicide.
The woman's body was reportedly found only yards from King Edward VII hospital, where she worked and took the unfortunate phone call. Could she have killed herself out of guilt for falling for this prank?
It all started when a call came through early in the morning on Tuesday to the hospital. When the receptionist answered, Mel Greig, one of the radio hosts, put on her best Queen accent (which was laughably bad) and said, "Oh, hello there. Could I please speak to Kate please, my granddaughter?"
The receptionist bought this hook, line, and sinker for some reason and said, "Oh yes, just hold on ma'am," and put her through to the nurse's station in Kate's room. Apparently having no reason to believe that the call wouldn't be legitimate since it was put through to the room, the nurse began blabbing.
I can only imagine that the receptionist and the nurse were spoken to by hospital officials. No word on whether they were being punished in any way. But this does make you wonder: Did the fallout from the prank call somehow cause this to happen? If the receptionist did commit suicide, was it because of her guilt or shame over the call? Or because her job was in jeopardy? Or maybe it was just the attention and stress due to the call?
This does make you wonder about unintended consequences of pranks. I'm sure the DJs never dreamed in a million years they would actually get through to Kate or her nurse -- you can hear the disbelief in their voices on the radio program. I really don't blame them for this, but sometimes things have consequences that you couldn't have foreseen, and perhaps they should have thought a little more about the employees at the hospital and what trouble might be caused for them with a prank like this.
Do you think the call is to blame for the receptionist's death?

i certainly hope not, but who knows the truth? that would be an unfortunate tragedy. i wouldn't necessarily hold the dj's responsible, i'm sure they didn't imagine they'd actually talk to a nurse who'd give up the info. there are far worse pranks that have also ended badly and maliciously at that. i don't think the intent of the dj's was ever malicious.

cmjazDecember 7, 2012 at 10:55 AMI don't hold the djs responsible either. That's probably the last prank call those two ever want to do if she did commit suicide from the embarrassment.

What a sad situation. I hate prank calls though and wish obnoxious DJs would quit doing them.
- -- Nonmember comment from
NavyWifeDecember 7, 2012 at 11:08 AMI think the receptionist is to blame. She was stupid enough to believe that it was actually the Queen calling for Kate. The nurse who leaked all of the information probably did feel horrible after she found out it was a prank. I'd feel horrible too, knowing that I gave out personal information to a random DJ. I feel awful that she felt she had to kill herself, though. I imagine Kate will feel bad about the situation.

I don't hold British royalty any higher than the run of the mill celebrity. Live by the sword, die by the sword. They're fair game for this stuff.
I don't think the hospital staff should be "punished" unless they specifically violated hospital rules concerning verifying callers are who they say they are. If they used really bad judgement in applying those procedures then you have to question their judgement in other aspects of their job.

AshleyB1984December 7, 2012 at 11:22 AM
I'm sure it's somehow related, but it's not the DJ's fault. Don't they have HIPA over there? People in that position aren't allowed to give out medical information to anyone. I know I have to personally sign a waiver just for my doctor to leave me a V-mail about test results.

Performing and Fine Artists for World Peace (PFAWP) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit arts and educational organization created in 1986 on the island of Kaua'i.
Our mission is to integrate the arts into the community to affect positive change. We promote the use of visual and performing arts to address social, environmental and cultural issues. These include the protection of the environment and natural resources, the promotion of cultural understanding through artistic exchanges, support for human rights and indigenous peoples rights and support for the treatment and prevention of substance abuse and addiction.
We work with artists, community organizations, businesses and government agencies. A number of our programs have been implemented in communities locally in Hawai'i and internationally. These programs include Artists and the Environment, Artists in Action for Human Rights, Earth-Friendly Schools Hawai'i-International, International Month of Peace, Caring for the Earth Month, International Peace Gardens, The Dream Lives On: A Tribute to Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and We Are 'Ohana-Songs of Hope.
We co-sponsor many community events. These have addressed issues such as Native Hawaiian rights, hunger and poverty, children's advocacy, and peace through non-violence. Some of the organizations in Hawai'i that we have worked with include: University of Hawai'i Matsunaga Institute for Peace, University of Hawai'i Sea Grant Program, Recycle Hawai'i, Kokua Hawai`i Foundation, Youth for Environmental Service, Kaua'i Center for Independent Living, YWCA, YMCA, Hawai'i Environmental Education Association, Volcano Art Center, North Hawai'i Drug-Free Coalition and Healing Our Island.
In 1987 Performing and Fine Artists for World Peace received the Peace Messenger Award from the United Nations. Through this recognition we established a network with national and international organizations. We have attended conferences and cultural exchanges across the United States and in many other countries. We have made presentations internationally in Moscow, London, Brussels, Edinburgh, Belfast, Dublin, Auckland and Vancouver, British Columbia. Nationally we have made presentations in New York City, San Francisco, Washington D. C., Atlanta, Detroit, Memphis and Nashville.
We currently are working in partnership with Earth Patriot Productions LLC sponsoring the Earth Patriot Graphic Art Competition. The competition is open to aspiring artists from Hawai`i between the ages of 13-22. The goal of this competition is to promote environmental awareness and action among young adults in Hawai`i. The winning artist will receive a $100 cash prize and a selection of products from Earth Patriot Productions.
We are also working with EP Productions on our next major project, an interactive storybook entitled Earth Patriot: Origins -Nani i ke Kumu. The storybook will be distributed to schools in Hawai`i in 2014.
As we continue to expand our outreach to the international community, we remain focused on supporting our community at the 'grassroots' level. Today we are located in the town of Volcano on the island of Hawai'i. Much of our work continues to be seeking ways to work in partnership with others in protecting the natural beauty of our islands as well as perpetuating and preserving the Native Hawaiian culture.

Dear Readers,
I have for you a lineup of things to expect in the coming weeks.
So I've been listening to a lot of good music lately in order to expand my music goto's which I feel very comfortable with. So I'll be posting up some of the best songs that I've been finding.
Also, I have a few photo-series that I have yet to put up, so keep an eye out for those next week! They include one taken in Milan as well as a series of self-portraits.
To those that it interests I will be spending shabbat this week in the Old City of Jerusalem. Due to shabbat concerns there will not be pictures, but I will try to write a post detailing my experience.
Also, as riots and protests continue to unfold in the middle-east, I will try to prepare some thoughts. But for now I would like to direct you to http://www.nytimes.com/2011/02/17/world/middleeast/17sharp.html?_r=1&hp . This article profiles Mr. Gene Sharp, a political theorist who specializes in forms of non-violent protest. This article really intrigued me because it highlights the power of ideas to move people. Hopefully from these protest will come a time when these people of these countries can experience a renewed sense of freedom and self-government. More on these thoughts later.
As for now, keep reading the news and keep riding the WAVE-LENGTH
Cheers All

Undergraduate Research
What is undergraduate research and what are the benefits?
Universities have the unique role of not only sharing and honoring traditions of knowledge, but of asking new questions about what we know, finding solutions to new problems, and creating new knowledge that potentially transforms our worlds. That is the nature of academic research.
When students collaborate with and are mentored by faculty in academic research, those students learn by experiencing how concepts and methods they learn about in classrooms are applied to questions in the world around us.
There are many opportunities for UTPA students to participate in research beyond the classroom. Students who do active research also learn to present and publish research findings, gaining valuable professional experience and enhancing competitiveness for graduate study and career placement. Every year, UTPA hosts its annual Undergraduate Research Conference. For more information on this event and how to prepare, visit our UR Conference website here.
There are many routes to creating research opportunities. Seek the advice of a faculty mentor, contact our office to find out about upcoming funding and presentation/publication opportunities, and dive in!

Found March 08, 2013 on NFL Injury Report:
PLAYERS: Darrelle Revis
TEAMS: New York Jets
TEAMS: New York Jets
New York Jets cornerback Darrelle Revis finds himself in the midst of trade rumors this offseason, but he's also in the middle of rehabbing his significant knee injury. By all accounts, the recovery is going well, as Revis aims to start running outside in four to six weeks, according to Andrea Kremer of The NFL Network. Monday marked a milestone for Revis, as the cornerback was able to run on a treadmill for the first time since last September. While running is a very routine thing, Revis told Kremer that it was a very big deal to him. "I said, 'What went through your mind when you were doing it?' "Kremer recalled. "He goes, 'I know it sounds crazy, but I'm running.' And that is just a huge thing for him, a huge hurdle both mentally and physically to get past." Kremer adds that Revis is also working on drills to stop, plant and change direction. He's aiming to begin running outside with no restrictions in four to six weeks. The All-Pro continues to target his return for the time training camp starts.

Mr. Smith went to Washington: Only his name was Rand Paul. John McCain was a war hero, but he is not a conservative and he was a horrible choice for president. How many times will we lose that race strictly because the powers that hold the rains of the Republican party insist on believing we need to play to the center and get all the semi-socialist voters? They seem incapable of seeing that the votes they need are the millions of people who are so uninspired by what is offered that they just don't bother to go to the poles. If they had a real hero, someone who was honestly dedicated to restoring this nation, they would flood the poling places.
