Twitter users ask 'Who is Paul McCartney?'
San Francisco, CA, United States (AHN) – Several young and clueless Grammy Awards viewers caused quite a stir when they tweeted "Who is Paul McCartney?"
According to BuzzFeed, their tweets flooded across Twitter as McCartney was performing on stage Sunday night. Some wanted to know whose father or grandfather he was, some were outraged and some just wanted to have some fun.
For those who have been hiding under a rock somewhere, Paul McCartney is a English musician, singer-songwriter and composer. He is a former member of The Beatles where he first gained fame alongside John Lennon, George Harrison and Ringo Starr.
McCartney is listed in the Guinness World Records as the "most successful musician and composer in popular musical history." BBC News Online readers named McCartney the "greatest composer of the millennium."
One of his most famous songs, "Yesterday," has been covered by more than 2,200 artists, more than any song in the history of recorded music. Since its release in 1965, "Yesterday" has been played more than 7 million times on American television and radio.
As a performer or songwriter, McCartney has 31 number one singles on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in the U.S. In the United Kingdom alone, he earned 60 gold discs with sales of 100 million singles.
McCartney has composed film scores, classical and electronic music. He has also taken part in projects to help international charities.
On Feb. 9, McCartney finally received his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and on the 10th he was honored with the Music Cares Person of the Year honor.

NORTH KINGSTOWN – As the second most populated city in South Africa, Cape Town is becoming quite the popular tourist attraction. And that's where you'll find North Kingstown resident Cydnee DeToy, but she's there for work, not play.
Arriving July 5, DeToy is nearly halfway through a year-long Princeton Fellowship where she's working for Mothers2Mothers, a non-government organization (NGO) that helps HIV-infected pregnant women prevent the transmission of the virus to their babies.
HOPE VALLEY - Shoveling snow can be a tiresome and treacherous chore, and even though winter has been mild thus far, it is very likely that local walkways and driveways will need shoveling at some point this season.

Special to the Standard
NORTH KINGSTOWN – When Lawrence D. "Larry" Webster was a child growing up in the woods of Charlestown – in the same house he's occupied all his life – he spent his days watching planes.
"As a little kid, two years old, my parents would sit me out here and I watched hundreds of aircraft flying out of Quonset and Charlestown," says Webster, who will turn 65 in February. Both naval air stations remained open until 1974.
SOUTH KINGSTOWN – There were joys of reunion this past Saturday afternoon in Matunuck, but in the midst of hugs and smiles the summer beach community had more serious business on their minds.
The MC Homeowners Association that makes up Carpenters Beach Meadows brought together the town council, town staff and the Matunuck property owners to filter through the rumors and get to the bottom of what the town is doing to prevent erosion along Matunuck Beach Road.
NORTH KINGSTOWN – To the casual observer, it appears that North Kingstown has a lock on leaders of the state Republican Party.
On the heels of the departure to Washington, D.C. of Ken McKay IV, a member of the town's first family of furniture, another local GOP luminary has risen to the top. Only days before Christmas, Mark Zaccaria, 62, was elected chairman of the Rhode Island Republican Party.
On many levels – raising funds, attracting young blood to the party and enticing viable candidates to run for office – the job is a huge challenge.

East Rutherford, N.J. • All the missing pieces — defense and a running game — are aligning at the right time for Eli Manning and the New York Giants. And just in time to play the Packers.
After routing the Atlanta Falcons 24-2 Sunday in the NFC wild-card game, the Giants head to Green Bay next weekend, a place where they will need all the help they can muster.
Manning carried the Giants (10-7) for much of the season, hoping the defense would get stingy, the pass rush would materialize and the running game would get on track. Now, all of that is happening.
"A great mix of run and pass and these guys have a great understanding of what our offense is," Manning said of the help he's receiving. "If we can get that run game going like we did in the second half, that opens up a lot of windows."
And if the defense remains impenetrable, watch out.
"If we can play defense like that, we will continue to make ourselves heard in this tournament," coach Tom Coughlin said.
Manning punctuated his best pro season by throwing for three touchdowns and scrambling for a 14-yard gain that woke up New York's offense in its first postseason victory since its Super Bowl upset of undefeated New England four years ago. Next up is as big a challenge: the defending champion Packers (15-1), who won here 38-35 in December.
''We know they are a good team," Manning said. "We played them tough here, did some good things here, we scored some points. We know offensively we are going to have to play strong, score some points."
The team that couldn't run the ball will be sprinting there, bringing along a defense the Packers actually might fear. Not to mention the passing offense led by Manning, who hooked up on a 72-yard catch and run by Hakeem Nicks in the third quarter that put away the inept Falcons (10-7). Manning also connected on a 4-yard TD with Nicks in the second period, and a 27-yard TD throw to Mario Manningham in the fourth quarter that finished it off.
The Giants' last postseason trip to frigid Lambeau Field was a 23-20 overtime victory for the NFC championship two weeks before they upset the Patriots.
"Cold, I remember that. I remember coach Coughlin's face. I remember (tackle) David Diehl sweating and it froze on his hair and he had icicles on his hair," defensive end Justin Tuck said. "And I remember us winning.
"Hopefully, we can go back there and do it again."
The tempo in the first playoff game at MetLife Stadium was set by New York's defense, which never allowed Atlanta to get going, and by the league's lowest-ranked rushing game, which ran for a season-high 172 yards, 92 by Brandon Jacobs and 63 by Ahmad Bradshaw. The Giants averaged 5.5 yards a carry, 2 yards more than in the regular season.
For all of Jacobs' and Bradshaw's success, it was Manning's escape and 14-yard dash on third down in the second period that got the Giants rolling. Jacobs soon broke a 34-yard run, and Manning hit Nicks on a post pattern to put the Giants up 7-2.
"I don't think anyone is game-planning for me to run the ball," Manning said, "but obviously there were a couple of situations where you have to do it. I am not scared of running to get a few yards."
The Giants never really had to look back as the Falcons bumbled their way to their third straight playoff loss under coach Mike Smith and quarterback Matt Ryan.
"They did a great job of defending us, especially in the second half," veteran tight end Tony Gonzalez said. "That shouldn't happen to a team like we have. We're a lot better than this."
New York was aided greatly by Atlanta's penchant for gambling on fourth downs — and failing. Twice the Giants stymied the Falcons on fourth-and-1 as Ryan's sneaks went nowhere. The defense also stopped Michael Turner, supposedly the most effective runner on the field, on a third-and-inches late in the third period.
"That really inspired everybody, to be honest with you," Coughlin said. "Those plays that our defense made really inspired everybody.
Atlanta missed on a fourth-down try in overtime that cost the Falcons a game against New Orleans during the season. While they negated New York's recently revitalized pass rush for much of the day, the Falcons couldn't gain any traction on the ground, being held to 64 yards rushing.
"Our defense played great, kept us in the lead," Manning said.
Other than some sporadic movement, Atlanta's offense was incompetent — particularly in short yardage.
"It's less than a yard, less than half of a yard. It's a play we go through all the time," Smith said. "I felt it was the right play both times, but we didn't execute. We should be able to move the ball there."
Both offenses sputtered in the first half with an assortment of penalties, drops and poor throws.
When the Falcons wheeled out the no-huddle offense, though, they marched from their 10 to a fourth-and 1 at the New York 24. On the first play of the second quarter, Ryan was stacked up on his sneak.
But it turned out positively for the Falcons anyway.
Giants guard Chris Snee was called for holding, and, from his 13, Manning was pressured back into the end zone by James Sanders. He threw the ball away to avoid the sack, resulting in a safety.
New York had its own fourth-and-inches run on its first touchdown drive. Jacobs ran over safety Thomas DeCoud on the play from the Atlanta 6.
Nicks caught his post pattern over Dominique Franks, the fill-in for injured cornerback Brent Grimes, to make it 7-2.
Notes: The Giants' most recent home playoff victory was a 41-0 rout of Minnesota for the 2000 NFC title. ... Atlanta's last playoff win was in 2005 over St. Louis when Michael Vick still was the Falcons' quarterback. ... Ryan was 24 for 41 for 199 yards and was sacked twice. .. There were no turnovers in the game. ... Giants CB Aaron Ross and RB D.J. Ware left with concussions. ... Gonzalez is 0-5 in playoff games in his 15-year career.

This is an extremely convoluted story but it's mine. So pay attention!
I grew up in Hawaii, and though I was of the age when Doctor Who (the classic era, with Tom Baker, Peter Davison, etc.) was airing on select PBS stations across the country, for some reason Doctor Who never made it halfway across the Pacific Ocean. Either that, or it must have aired when I couldn't watch. Because at the same time, I was absorbing classic British comedy like a sponge. I became a fan of Monty Python and PBS made me into an Anglophile, something I am to this very day.
I never even saw an episode of Doctor Who until I met my boyfriend, who grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area, which had a PBS station that aired Doctor Who religiously. He loved the Doctor, and his Doctor was Peter Davison. Once when I was staying over at his house, he suggested that since I loved classic sci-fi and I loved British TV, I should start watching Doctor Who. I watched his dad's only Doctor Who box set (ON VHS FFS), the Key to Time. I figured it would be a decent way to introduce myself to the show, since it was an ongoing storyline. So Tom Baker was my first Doctor and Romana was my first companion and The Ribos Operation was my very first Doctor Who episode:

Surf and Turf
"I knew what I had to do; I had to release the mainsail. But I just sat there; I was too scared to do anything. My heart stopped. I knew it took a lot to sink these boats, but if you capsized one, that would do it. She eventually came back upright, but I just sat at the tiller for 45 minutes not moving. I couldn't get over being that terrified."
Ruch got the boat to her slip. But he didn't take her out again for more than three weeks.
Ruch left the U.S. Air Force after 10 years in a uniform, mostly as a navigator for C130 transports, the last four years in Birmingham, Ala. When he went back to Tacoma he started looking for work that would satisfy the uncertainty he felt being back in civilian life.
Today it's waterfowl, but when he relaxes on deck, Ruch might just as easily be watching seals or otters play in his Puget Sound backyard.
"I'd been in a fairly independent job in the Air Force, with no one looking over my shoulder all the time. But for my last four years in Birmingham half of my time was paperwork, and I hated that. I was grinding my teeth every minute doing that stuff. I thought driving a truck would be for me, and I decided to give it six months to see if it suited me, and it did."
He began his OTR career in January of 1992 driving for Schneider. His home was at his mom's, until he moved onto his current boat in April of 1998.
"People either love living on a boat or hate it. For me, it's the only place; I love it," he says.
Eight years ago Ruch decided he would buy his own truck and run as an owner-operator. It took him two years of researching owner-operator life to buy the Freightliner FLD with a Detroit 400. Now he hauls "anything" in a dry box for Crete.
"I figured out I would buy a used truck, look after it and pay it off, and then I could take more time off and do more sailing. I went to Crete Carriers, bought a used truck and paid it off in three years. After I paid it off, I went three weeks out, then two weeks off, and I spend Thanksgiving to April 1 off the road living on board my boat. In summer I need to run hard and earn. I've driven through snow and ice and had busted chains and so on. I can do it, but I don't have to."
Ruch said a full two years of planning and talking endlessly to owner-operators at truckstops went into his move to owner-operator. "It takes time because one owner-operator will tell you something and up at the next truckstop another one will tell you the exact opposite. I'd buy some of them dinner just so I could sit with them and ask every question I could think of. I put a lot of time into studying it. I wanted to work it all out before I bought. I didn't want to just buy because it sounded like a good idea."
Then Ruch made his choice. "In those two years the only two companies I never heard a single driver say a bad thing about was Crete and a company that pulled doubles. So I called Crete. I told them I wanted to be an owner-operator and they said, 'Do you have a truck?' When I said no, they said they wouldn't take me on. They didn't know me, and they didn't want an owner-operator that was not familiar to them. I liked that. A lot of companies would have said, 'Sure, come on over.' I liked their standards. So I was a company driver for six months, then bought my truck."
Ruch also had a little luck when he moved into the owner-operator ranks.
The former company driver of the Crete truck Ruch bought had gotten into it brand new and beautifully spec'd. He'd treated it extremely well and was planning to buy it when it came up for sale and become a Crete owner-operator. But before the deal could be done the man had to go into the hospital for major medical work, and Ruch stepped in and "bought it out from under him."
"I didn't know until later that I'd gotten a great deal because of his misfortune," says Ruch.
Ruch, who drives the lower 48, has looked after the tractor as well as a tractor can be looked after. "I rarely idle if I can help it. Lifetime, on this tractor, my idle is under 20 percent. It has over a million miles on it, and the engine has never been rebuilt. I took it to the Detroit people last year to see if it needed any work. They took it apart and then just put it back together. It didn't need anything."
Ruch said his sailing style is a lot like his driving style. "I'm cautious. I like to have a good margin for error."

Family is hard. The people we say we love the most in this world tend to also be the ones we most struggle with. This Is Fiction, a new play by Megan Hart now at the Cherry Lane Studio Theater, offers a subtle and realistic portrayal of these conflicts, utilizing every-day characters in a tough situation to illuminate common, deep-seeded family issues that frequently get set to the side.
Amy (Aubyn Philabaum), a writer, has just finished her first novel, called We Live on Perfect Street. The "fiction" (her words) is about her dead mother, an alcoholic, and the effect her drinking had on her family and childhood. After receiving a hefty offer to have the book published, Amy nervously rushes home to New Jersey for the first time in years to seek the approval of her sister, Celia (Michelle David), and father (Richard Masur). Unsurprisingly, telling her family that she plans to make their private lives public record proves to be an unnerving and difficult task—especially as the play reveals more and more of Amy's troublesome past.
Under the swift direction of Shelley Butler, each member of the cast handles the script smartly. Walking into your childhood home can be a bit surreal, no matter your current life. Everything—the table, the coffee pot, the fake plants—tends to be the same, but it's rarely the home you remember. Amy's situation is no different. Philabaum does a fabulous job letting us into her character's psyche while she puzzles over how to explain the reason for her visit. But the real shining comes from both Masur and David, whose sharp, passive-aggressive father-daughter relationship is so twisted and strained that thinking this family dynamic was once healthy seems impossible.
Nora Ephron's Lucky Guy Digests Its Drama for You; NAATCO's Strindberg Diminishes a Dream
The only major dilemma with the show involves Amy's love interest, Ed (Bernardo Cubria). Although Cubria's sweet performance is mostly lovable (and it's helpful to have a character give a non-family perspective), his place in the story sometimes feels forced. One of This Is Fiction's most emotional moments loses a bit of its punch when Hart has Ed (literally) jump in and essentially explain the play's thematic subtext to Amy (and, in turn, the audience). This moment unfortunately costs the plot some of its subtle charms. Overall, though, This Is Fiction becomes an endearing and stark reminder about how the past will always continue to change and evolve, even if we write it down.

I'm pretty amazed at all the immature ranting going on in this column from the DK's :P Do you guys all know each other and this is a guild joke, or are you truely that immature? please shape up a little, theres no place for ranting like that here, go to the official boards if you want to act like that. all it really does is make everyone disregard any comment you had made, even if it had a shred of truth to it.
On the subject, sounds like its a global issue that affects quite a few classes. I would dare say that if blizz fixes this one, then they shodul fix teh others as well. now, the only caveat here is if blizz had allowed the others to be in by design. What i mean by that is if they allowed the others limitations to stay in because they were happy with the results even with teh 'bugs' in place. It seems that at least for thsi case blizz's intentions were that every DK got a benefit from applying their third disease.
While i don't play a warlock, i do play a rogue (and DK), and if the poison limitation is hurting their dps potential, lets fix it. same with locks. And jury's still out on top DPS folks, dont be flashing epeen fluffing comments yet, all 3 DK specs are close enough to each other that it largely depends on player skill as to DPS output. Currently the top DK's in our guild are unholy. that could change with the adjustments they want to make to blood...who knows...

Infertile But Still Sane
Guest blogger Tertia Albertyn on what kept her from losing it during her four and a half years of infertility.
Your loyalty lies to yourself first.
Life is too short, and sometimes too damn hard, to do things because of social niceties. Baby showers, parties, dinner invitations--only go when you feel you can deal with the situation and the company. If you are feeling too fragile, don't go. They would like you to be there, but they don't need you to be. Sometimes you need to protect your own heart more than you need to do the "right" thing. Remember: The right thing for you is to look after yourself.
Educate those around you.
The more your family and friends understand about your situation, the easier it is for you. If we can get just one person to stop saying "just relax," we will have helped the sisterhood.
Educate yourself.
I swear I could practically do my own cycles if it weren't for retrieval and transfer. I found that educating myself made me feel a little more in control. And control is so hard to come by in this process. Just be careful not to Google yourself into a frenzy.
Get online support.
A genuine sanity saver for me has been getting support through online bulletin boards. I have met the most amazing people and made some life-saving friendships. It is such a relief to be able to bare your soul to kindred spirits. Bulletin boards and support groups come in many different flavors--some all happy, skippy, and positive and others filled with cynical humor and the occasional swear word. Find one where you feel at home.
But leave when it gets too hard to stay.
Hopefully you will be among the first or even majority to get pregnant, but if you are one of the last few and it hurts to stay, leave. Find another support group for people who have been infertile a little longer. Remember, your loyalty lies with you first. Don't hang around pregnant people, even those who used to be infertile, unless you want to. They are pregnant, for goodness sake--they're happy.
Get help if you need it.
About two years into the process, I hit a particularly bad period where the sadness, bitterness, and pain were threatening to consume me. It was then that I finally bowed to gentle pressure from my family to go "see someone." I didn't want to go. I thought "What's it going to help? I'll walk in there infertile and I'll walk out infertile." And I was right, seeing a therapist doesn't change your reality--but it can help you deal with that reality. I ended up being diagnosed as clinically depressed and was asked if I'd like to go on antidepressants. At first, I rebelled at the idea of pills. But thank God I ended up taking them. What a relief not to be so furiously angry all the time. I could concentrate more so I did better at work. I slept much better at night. I actually managed to laugh again.
Don't ever consider yourself less worthy.
Being infertile is not your fault. Even if your diagnosis is blocked tubes caused by a sexually transmitted infection you had in your wanton past--please! Stop blaming yourself. That will gets you nowhere. And never base your womanhood on your reproductive ability. Being able to have sex and get knocked up doesn't define femininity. Last time I checked the requirement for being female it was having XX chromosomes, not a sparkling uterus and shiny eggs.
Know that IVF is nothing to be embarrassed about.
In fact my husband and I are actually damn proud that we did IVF. It shows our strength and determination to reach our goal. I mean, really, having sex to get pregnant--how last season! And don't be embarrassed about how many IVFs you've done. Who cares?! Some people might think you are obsessive (so what?) or that you don't know when to stop. Wrong. You might not know exactly when you will stop, but you know it is not with this IVF. You do as many as you want to do. If you only want to do one, that's your choice.
Decide on how many different versions your happily ever after could take.
For some people anything beyond sex is too much. For others IVF is a step they won't consider. Everyone is different, but the most liberating thing for me was the decision that I would do whatever I had to to have a child, whether it meant donor eggs, adoption, whatever. Never having to face the end of the road helped me stay on the road. This is not for everyone. You and your partner decide how far you are prepared to go.
Make sure you and your husband are on the same page.
Infertility can wreck a marriage quicker than an affair.
Be kind to yourself.
Infertility is hard. It sucks, it's unfair. I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy. So you are allowed to be sad, to cry, to shout, to feel sorry for yourself. You don't have to be brave and strong all the time. Get help, whether it's from your friends and family, a therapist, or your online buddies. It's hard, but you don't have to be alone in this.
Don't develop amnesia.
When you eventually succeed or decide to get off the roller coaster, don't develop amnesia and forget what it was like to still be struggling. Don't say things like "it will happen for you" (how the hell do you know?). Remember the big difference between those who have succeeded and those still trying is that those who have succeeded know there is a (happy) ending to their journey. The journey is finite. Those still trying don't know if they will ever succeed. Remember that it's hard to be around pregnant people, even if the person struggled for ages and did six million IVFs. You are pregnant, they are not. So be sensitive. Sometimes that means telling someone you are there for her but will wait for her to contact you when she feels strong enough.
Good luck to you all, may all your dreams come true, one way or another. I wish I had the elusive magic wand, because I would grant you all of your wishes in a heartbeat.
Omg…I so needed to read this today. Thank you!
I understand that infertility is a huge struggle, and many things you said are true. But, come on! Sex is NOT "so last season". Sex is a gift given to us that binds us to our spouse. And IVF is not all that Tertia seems to think it is. Think twice before you start making babies in test tubes…..
Thank you for the post. This is like my story telling. I am stilling overcoming with my IVF treatments that I have taken. I get angry and frustrated with everyone. I think my marriage is falling.

Johnson & Johnson Consumer Sales Continue to Drop, 2011 to 2013
Johnson & Johnson consumer goods sales continue to slide in 2013 due to boycotts, recalls and more carcinogens in baby care products.
Uploaded: October 22, 2012
Keywords: jnj, johnson and johnson, johnson & johnson, J&J, boycott, recall, baby, products
Numerous groups have called for boycotts of Johnson & Johnson products for a variety of reasons. In addition, as more mothers in the United States are educated regarding known carcinogens in the U.S. formulation of baby soap, shampoo, powder, lotions, creams and other baby products as well as the same carcinogens in adult care products, it is obvious that the sales of J&J toxic consumer products are suffering as consumers choose less toxic products.
2011 : 2011 consumer sales : U.S. decrease 6.7% / Int increase 7.3 / WW increase 2.0%
http://www.investor.jnj.com/2011annualreport/pdf/JNJ-2011_ManagementsDiscussion_AnalysisSales.pdf page 2 of 11
2012 : 1st quarter consumer sales : U.S. decrease 2.2% / Int decrease 2.5% / WW decrease 2.4%
Worldwide Consumer sales of $3.6 billion for the first quarter represented a decrease of 2.4% versus the prior year consisting of an operational decline of 0.6% and a negative impact from currency of 1.8%. Domestic sales decreased 2.2%. International sales decreased 2.5%, which reflected an operational increase of 0.4% and a negative currency impact of 2.9%.
2012 : 2nd quarter consumer sales : U.S. decrease 1.9% / Int decrease 6.0% / WW decrease 4.6%
Worldwide Consumer sales of $3.6 billion for the second quarter represented a decrease of 4.6% versus the prior year consisting of an operational increase of 0.6% and a negative impact from currency of 5.2%. Domestic sales decreased 1.9%. International sales decreased 6.0%, which reflected an operational increase of 2.0% and a negative currency impact of 8.0%.
2012 : 3rd quarter consumer sales : U.S. decrease 4.3% / Int decrease 6.1% / WW decrease 4.3%
Worldwide Consumer sales of $3.6 billion for the third quarter represented a decrease of 4.3% versus the prior year consisting of an operational increase of 1.0% and a negative impact from currency of 5.3%. Domestic sales decreased 0.4%. International sales decreased 6.1%, which reflected an operational increase of 1.8% and a negative currency impact of 7.9%.
2012 : full year consumer sales : U.S. decrease 2% / Int decrease 3.4% / WW decrease 2.9%
Worldwide Consumer sales of $14.4 billion for the full-year 2012 represented a decrease of 2.9% versus the prior year, consisting of an operational increase of 0.5% and a negative impact from currency of 3.4%. Domestic sales decreased 2.0%; international sales decreased 3.4%, which reflected an operational increase of 1.9% and a negative currency impact of 5.3%.
With yet another recall of
Children's Tylenol
and yet another
undisclosed carcinogen
found in yet another baby care product, I don't see Johnson & Johnson consumer sales rebounding any time soon. I don't know, maybe people don't want to risk using products on their children that might harm their precious babies. As people like me continue sharing the risks as fast as we can with other moms so they don't use toxic products, I think sales will likely continue to drop.
Something to consider: As fewer people use toxic products from Johnson & Johnson, the rate of long-term illnesses, such as asthma, allergies, chronic sinus infections, COPD, cancer, low fertility, and such, caused by these products (and the drugs prescribed to deal with side effects of the drugs prescribed) will begin to decline - cutting into Johnson & Johnson medical devices and pharmaceuticals sales ;o)
Mission Statement:
Educate consumers regarding risky products produced by corrupt Johnson & Johnson management. Encourage the resignation of corrupt Johnson & Johnson management - most importantly: CEO Alex Gorsky whose projects Risperdal, Metal-on-Metal Hips and TVT Mesh have harmed hundreds of thousands of consumers.
Please show your support with a contribution to help fund research and web site costs.

The most popular movies among NYTimes.com readers.
3 Readers' Reviews
September 9th, 20131:00 pm
This is an excellent documentary. Even New Yorkers have much to learn about the events at Zuccotti Park because people with jobs and obligations could follow developments as they were occurring in a spotty and incomplete manner.Moreover, few of us could follow Occupy movements in other cities. This documentary puts it all together using genuine footage and thoughtful comments by articulate people. More important, it raises issues of economic inequality, corporate fraud and callousness and police brutality which are still with us. Highly recommended.
— Allie, New York

Glad that attention is being brought to this film, but like back when Occupy Wall Street was at
it's most active, our local media, especially the New York Times, outdid itself in lack luster disruptive
coverage. Corporate lies and disjunctions are not a healthy diet, but that's what our media dish out.
Eat up and starve!
— Bill Stribling, NYC
September 8th, 20137:54 pm
This film is a must see for all Americans. What has happened to our democracy? According to this film, and I agree, it has been sold to the highest bidders -- the 1%. The Supreme Court has made the wealthiest corporations into individual citizens, with unlimited power to fund political campaigns. As a result too many of our politicians are not leaders but corporate followers, caring only about the rich and powerful, passing laws to further enrich them, while slashing social welfare programs for the poor, working poor and middle class. What happened when the 99% movement stood up for our rights? You can see for yourself in this collectively made film -- brutal and unconstitutional police state crackdowns in NYC and across the nation. What will the 99% -- what will we as a nation-- do next? This film raises the question. Why is it being shown in only 2 small theaters in the US, for less than a week? (It closes at Cinema East Village on Tuesday!) It should be shown at theaters across the country and at every college. At least it will be on the new PIVOT network on September 17. I hope it finds additional venues so more people can see what the brave 99%ers did and start thinking about what we all can do to restore our democracy.

So, I have this Jesus bobble-head. It's ridiculous really. It sits on the desk across from my bed, looking at me with its goofy messianic expression. My wife hates the thing. However, there's really no getting rid of it. I mean, you can't throw away Jesus. That'd be disrespectful. Almost as disrespectful as… a Jesus bobble-head. So I keep it, partially because it's hilarious, partially because I like sacrilegious things. The other day it was doing its bobble-thing and I said, "Look honey! We've been waiting on a move from the Lord, haven't we?" She put her hand over her face, fighting back both horror and laughter. Man, I love that thing.
I remember the whole "Jesus is my homeboy" t-shirt craze about a decade ago. It was all edgy, you know… because Jesus wasn't supposed to be… urban? I'm not sure. All I know is that it created a backlash of opposing t-shirts and bumper stickers with the rebuttal of "Jesus isn't my homeboy. He's my king!" Oh, and no one will ever forget that song that came out with the audacity to proclaim "I am a friend of God." Phhssst. God has no time for friends. I don't know why, but that song "Yes lord, yes lord, yes yes lord…" got thrown under the bus at the same time. But we could talk about bad Christian music all day. The point is that all of a sudden it was taboo to convey Jesus as anything less than a fourteenth century feudal lord.
Now, I do understand there is a thing called reverence. Certain things are indeed sacred to many. This should be respected. We Occupy Jesus is all about bringing much needed positive PR to the legacy of the Jesus narrative. I am in full support of religious freedom of expression. I admit, there is a lot of expression going on. When you look online, there is a plethora of crude and satirical representations of Jesus, including Raptor Jesus, Zombie Jesus, Alien Jesus, Gay Jesus, and the most bizarre of them all…
White Jesus.
We must stop this madness!
But when I look across to my bobble-head savior, I think to myself… "That's not Jesus." Obvious, of course, but important to note. I'm not making fun of actual Jesus. I'm not reducing any literal notion of the historical and/or theological Jesus to a childish toy. It's just a dumb bobble-head. And to my embarrassment, it's also the "White Jesus" model.
When I go online and witness the circus surrounding the person of Jesus, I rarely think these depictions represent anyone's real thoughts concerning the man from Nazareth. At best they are an example of an overactive sense of humor, and at worst they are examples of a sheer disbelief in Jesus and/or religion. I don't think Jesus would take it personally (but White Jesus would be pissed). Do Christians really think Jesus' temper is raging out of control due to this sacrilege? Are people really going to hell because they make an internet meme, or merely laugh at one?
I make fun of many Christian things all the time. I try (keyword: try) to tone it down around those who are easily offended. I don't make fun because I think Christianity is wrong, or dumb. I just see past the veils of religious theatre that put Jesus on stage as something he is not. If your Jesus gets offended by "Homeboy" t-shirts, well… your Jesus is just as comical as raptor Jesus. If your Jesus gets angry when Project Runway comes on the air, your Jesus is more ridiculous than Alien Jesus.
"But my Jesus is the real Jesus! The one true Jesus! The alpha and the omega!" you say. "You shall bow down and respect him!" you say.
We need to be honest with ourselves. Christian or not. Theist or atheist. Our ideas of Jesus are merely that… ideas. I'm not saying Jesus isn't real. I'm saying every conception of him we hold is essentially our own. It is much like a memory. We can remember countless moments from our past, but they are merely re-creations of a former reality. The church, Christianity, our religions, our beliefs, they are built upon those former things.
When a ridiculous version of Jesus is mocked, it is the absurd idea that is under siege, not God or his son. My bobble-head pokes fun of society and its fixation with making Jesus so commercial. That is what is being ridiculed, not Jesus himself. To suggest such trivial things are cause for eternal retribution truly offends me, because this also suggests Jesus somehow represents the self-absorbed, those preoccupied with t-shirts instead of humanity.
What is most offensive is Robot Jesus, the same old, tired, mechanical Jesus that the fraudulently pious wind up and clap their hands to each week. Robot Jesus does what you want him to do, what you expect him to do. You can dress him up however you like. You can put him away when you're sick of him.
You can also flip the switch on his back from love to kill.
If you value and respect what Jesus stood for, we ask you to join us here at We Occupy Jesus. We have plenty of robots to smash.
Would you like to borrow a hammer?

Okay, I know, extremely late update D: I forgot what I really was doing the whole summer that I didn't update. But! School started again, and I'm kinda worrying alot more about art college choices, as it is my last year in hs and I have to decide soon, so I picked up the pencil and drew a model, my dad, and some classmates that I'll scan later as its at school atm : )
These are all 10 min sketches, nothing that detailed-
Here's my dad:
Hes the only person in my family that'd sit if not pose for me. Everyone else kept complaining about how I make them look too fat or monkey-like .
And this is a model, her features/lines aren't that great/cut off because I was stupid and bought a hugggee artpad on sale just because it was cheap and forgot that it is a pain to scan in so said artpads as well.
I'll try to do more nude studies/perspective, and as usual and critiques and comments will be totally appreciated!
Andandand, any tips for a illustration based portfolio will be great as well, I'm leaning heavily towards going to a art university of that choice : D

2 minutes each pose
5 min for both
3 again
and my most recent two figures
15 minutes
(Assignment/from a ref picture instead, 1 hour)
I tried to speedily draw all of the ones in class as accurately as possible, and my shading somewhat changed.
As usual, critiques/comments are very welcome, and any ideas for portfolio pieces would be great too : )
