Oklahoma City, OK (SportsNetwork.com) - Kevin Durant scored 27 points and handed out eight assists, as the Oklahoma City Thunder thrashed the Denver Nuggets, 117-96, on Monday at Chesapeake Energy Arena.
Reggie Jackson registered 16 points and 11 assists, while Caron Butler poured in 23 points off the bench for the Thunder, who have won four straight and six of their last seven games.
Ty Lawson led Denver with 25 points and seven helpers, while Kenneth Faried donated 11 points and 11 boards for the Nuggets, who have dropped two of their last three games.
"We never made them uncomfortable so they shot a high percentage from two and from three," Nuggets head coach Brian Shaw said. "Our defense was reacting to them instead of forcing the issue."
Denver led 13-10 just over five minutes in before the Thunder knocked down four consecutive 3-pointers, including two from Jackson, to take a 22-13 lead.
With the margin at 10 with just under two minutes left in the frame, Butler buried a trey and Derek Fisher followed with one of his own before Durant's three-point play helped send OKC into the second with a 41-24 spread.
Denver opened the second on a 10-0 run that Lawson capped with a triple, but the Thunder responded with eight straight points, culminating in Serge Ibaka's jumper that made it 49-34 with 8:32 left in the half.
OKC carried a 72-58 lead into halftime after shooting a scorching 28-of-47 from the floor, including 7-of-11 from long range, in the first half.
The Thunder clamped down defensively in the third, holding Denver to a 3-of-16 effort from the floor as they took a 90-73 advantage after three frames.
"The second half defensively we locked in," OKC head coach Scott Brooks said. "(Houston) is a tough team to guard. We did a great job all night of keeping them out of transition."
The Nuggets failed to get closer than 16 over the final 12 minutes.
OKC improved to 29-7 at home, while Denver dropped to 13-23 on the road this
season ... Durant has scored 25 or more points in 35 straight games ... OKC
guard Russell Westbrook missed the game with a knee injury ... Denver turned
the ball over 21 times and recorded just 20 assists.

Note: Includes won-loss record, previous ranking; after games of
November 8.
1. De La Salle (Concord, Calif.) 9-0 (1)
With a win Friday against neighborhood rival Ygnacio Valley of
Concord, the Spartans will wrap up their 14th straight unbeaten
regular season. De La Salle won last weekend, 26-0, over Pittsburg,
which was the team's sixth shutout of the season. The defense gave
up just one first down and 56 total yards. Cameron Colvin sparked
the scoring with an 89-yard kickoff return and two TD catches on
passes from Anthony Gutierrez.
2. Carroll (Southlake, Texas) 10-0 (4)
After the Dragons didn't receive much of a preseason ranking from
elsewhere in the nation and even in Texas (although we had them in
our top 10), they are now in a position to be No. 2 behind De La
Salle if they finish unbeaten and win their second straight Class
5A-Division II state title. Coach Todd Dodge's squad ended the
regular season with its 26th straight win, a 47-35 victory over
Coppell. Quarterback Chase Daniel completed 15 of 21 passes for
370 yards and five TDs as Carroll amassed 504 total offense yards.
The Dragons led 35-24 at halftime. Carroll opens playoffs Saturday
afternoon vs. Irving MacArthur.
3. Mentor (Mentor, Ohio) 12-0 (10)
The Cardinals left no doubt about who should be ranked No. 1 in the
Cleveland area when it handed perennial power Cleveland St.
Ignatius one of its worst losses in several years, 31-0, in a Division
1 regional semifinal. The Mentor defense forced eight turnovers,
including five pass interceptions. Quarterback Thom Abbott ran for
141 yards and passed for two scores. Mentor next takes on
Lakewood St. Edward, which upset state No. 1 Warren Harding,
21-13, to avenge a regular season overtime loss. Harding also was
No. 2 in the FAB 50, so that loss, combined with the additional loss
of previous No. 3 Palm Bay of Florida to Merritt Island, Florida,
created room for Mentor to make a huge jump in this week's
national rankings.
4. Don Bosco Prep (West Orange, N.J.) 8-0 (5)
New Jersey's No. 1 ranked team had a breather last weekend, using
mostly second-string players in a 65-0 blanking of Paramus.
Michael Ray Garvin rushed for 177 yards and three TDs on six
carries. Under New Jersey playoff guidelines, Prep receives a
first-round bye since only six teams qualified.
5. North Penn (Lansdale, Pa.) 11-0 (6)
Jim Casertano scored a pair of touchdowns as North Penn
advanced to the District 1-AAAA semifinals with a 28-7 victory over
Ridley after leading 21-0 at halftime. North Penn faces a rematch with Pennridge, a team it
defeated 35-10 in September.
6. Union (Tulsa, Okla.) 10-0 (7)
The defending state Class 6A titlist closed its regular season with a
55-6 pounding of Edmond Memorial. Union will take a 24-game
victory streak into the playoffs.
7. Independence (Charlotte, N.C.) 12-0 (8)
Junior quarterback Joe Cox completed 12 of 16 passes for 352
yards and three touchdowns and ran for two scores in a 49-21
Class 4AA playoff opening win overEast Mecklenburg. The Patriots scored on their first seven
possessions and led 35-7 at halftime in their 58th straight win.
Hopewell is this week's foe.
8. Mission Viejo (Mission Viejo, Calif.) 9-0 (9)
The biggest news from the Diablos last week came from off the field
when it was finalized that they'd be playing De La Salle the next two
years in a home-and-home series. Mission Viejo also has set up an
additional home-and-home matchup with Los Alamitos, which was
No. 4 in this year's preseason FAB 50 and was No. 5 two weeks ago
when it was upset by Fountain Valley. Last weekend on the field, the
Diablos drubbed Dana Hills of Dana Point, 68-7, for their 37th
straight win.
9. Mountain View (Mesa, Ariz.) 10-0 (11)
The Toros extended their win streak to 24 games with a 64-0
pounding of rival Mesa to close the regular season. Max Hall passed
for four touchdowns. The defending state Class 5A champions open
this year's state playoffs vs. South
Mountain of Phoenix.
10. Carmel (Carmel, Ill.) 11-0 (12)

Kevin Moyd rushed for 223 yards and a 67-yard touchdown as the
Bulls downed Jackson, 24-14, in the annual Soul Bowl at Pro Player
Stadium. The state's No. 1 ranked Class 6A team opens playoffs
this weekend. Northwestern also now is in line to be No. 1 in the
state overall after Palm Bay's loss to Merritt Island.
14. St. Joseph's Prep (Philadelphia, Pa.) 10-0 (13)
St. Joseph's Prep had the week off as it earned the top seed in the
city Catholic League playoffs. The Prep will take on LaSalle in the
conference semifinals. The Prep defeated LaSalle, 37-0, in the
regular season.
15. Cumberland Valley (Mechanicsburg, Pa.) 11-0 (16)
Running backs Brett Baseshore (167 yards, three touchdowns) and

The Red Raiders won their fifth Oahu Interscholastic Association
title in the last six years, but it wasn't easy as they edged Kailua by

Impulse/force in pounds for the time frame

Phantomjay wrote;More force goes into the muscles only during the accelerating phase.[/i]
Phantomjay wrote;For the slow case, you might have 110 pounds at the beginning during the accelerating phase...for the fast case, it might be 150 pounds during the accelerating phase, so more squooshh...and clay doesn't rebound.
Yes right, more squash, or should I say more compression on the clay for the fast. No, the clay does not rebound; it does not whatever you do to it, not sure why you say this.
Phantomjay wrote;The averrage force is still 100 pounds for both cases. But yes, at some point during the fast case, your muscles are receiving (and giving) more force during the accelerating phase, because it requires more force to accelearte to the higher speed in the same distance. Now I bet your really confused.
Yes this what it seems to say on paper, however I have contended from the beginning of this debate on other forums, how can you know, that as we all agree the fast repetition is using more and a LOT more force on the first say 60% {remember the fast does 6 repetitions in the same time frame as the slow moving the weight 6 times more the distance, using far more energy} than the slow, then when the fast is on its deceleration, its using less force than the slow, {and here is my main point} how do you know/think or work out, that the slow force makes up or balances out the forces here ??? as the slow force is never as high as the higher force of the fast acceleration forces, in my opinion the whole forces are not linear and cannot make up or be balanced out, as of my EMG reading, the more work/distance moved and more energy used.
Its like a impulse; a small force applied for a long time can produce the same momentum change as a large force applied briefly, because it is the product of the force and the time for which it is applied that is important. So I say the small force would need far far far more longer time to make up or balance out the large force made by the faster accelerations of the faster repetitions.
Thats why you always fail far far far faster doing faster repetitions to slow, as the high acceleration forces, put far far far more tension on the muscles than the slow in the long run.
Quote by
Your body is not telling you to decelerate it; the laws of physics demand it if you are to slow it.
Yes very true.
Quote by
Your body tells you that your muscles are getting strained with too much force, and it will tell you that even if you were to hold the weight still and motionless for a long period of time, without speed , acceleration, or deceleration,
Again true.
Quote by
only a force of 100 pounds on your muscles.Sorry, i misspoke, the average force (for what it's worth) is always just 100 pounds.
I do not think average means much.
The average net force is equal to the weight, regardless to duration and time ??? So if I move a weight for an hour, for a 1000m and then for 1 sec, 1mm. And if the net force is the same, the moving of the weight for an 1 hour will put a very lot of force out from and onto the muscles, even thou the average is the same.
Quote by
Even though for most of the time the applied force is 150 pounds while accelerating, there is very little force that you exert when decelerating (the weight does the workfor you),
I contend this, the weight does no work for me, I am moving the weight, nothing else is, what else could be moving the weight, I do not understand what you mean or think ??? If I stopped at anytime in the lift, the weight would stop moving, it would not travel or move on its own, how could it ??? Someone worked out below, that if you lift 200 pounds 15 inch at 1m/s that the weight itself would
{but it does not, please read on as too why}
move 20% or 3 inch if you immediately stopped the pushing force at the top. However this does not happen, because of the biomechanical advantages and disadvantages thought the ROM, {Range Of Motion} so this means that there in not very little force, but a very lot of force being used thought the ROM. Even if a machine was pushing it, the weight cannot move on its own ???
OK, let's see if I can reproduce this. Let's assume we're doing a bench press with 200 pounds, and our 1RM is 250 pounds (80% 1RM). Furthermore, the ROM is 15 inches.
The first thing we must do is convert pounds into the English unit of mass - the "slug". That is - 200 pounds/32 ft/sec^2=6.25 slugs.
Now, from F(net)=ma, we have 250-200=6.25 x a, or a=8ft/sec^2. This is the acceleration of the bar during the concentric.
Now, let's assume that we will push with our maximal force (250 pounds) up to the 12" point. We next need to find the velocity of the bar at this point from the equation v^2=2ad. Plugging in "a" from above and "d"=1ft, v=4 ft/sec. Note that this is not the top of the lift, but 3" from the top.
Next we want to find the time it takes to get to the 12" point, from the equation d=1/2at^2. Plugging in our values of "a" and "d", t=.7 seconds (again not the top).
Now, we assume that we stop pushing the bar at the 12" point, and let gravity slow it down, so that it comes to rest at the top. From v^2=2ad, we plug in our value of "v", but here we use a=32 ft/sec^2 (acceleration of gravity). From this we find that d=3", so that the bar comes to a perfect halt right at the top of the ROM - the 15" point.
Finally, we want to find out how long it takes gravity to stop the bar, from d=1/2at^2. Plugging in d=3" and a=32 ft/sec^2, t is found to be about .1 seconds.
Therefore, the total time for the concentric in this case would be .7 seconds (for the acceleration phase, or "onloading") plus .1 seconds (for the decceleration or "offloading" phase), for a total of .8 seconds. This is a bit faster than 1/1, but the best I could do this late at night. If your ROM were a bit longer then 15", then the speed would be closer to 1/1.
So, we see that in this case the offloading relative to the ROM is 3" out of a total of 15", or 20%. The offloading relative to the time is .1 sec out of .8 sec, or about 12%. Note that this is worst case...that is the first rep. As the set progresses, the offloading will reduce with each rep, due to fatigue, and towards the end of the set will be negligible. Therefore, you could state that the "average" offloading of the entire set relative to the ROM would be about 10%.
Note that this also assumes we can push with maximal force all the way to the 12" point. If our strength curve is such that our force output diminishes towards the top, then the offloading will be less than given above.
Quote by
so the average force averages out, if you know what I mean (in eight equal intervals on the upstroke, force you apply might be 125, 150,150,150,150, 25, 25, 25; average = 800/8 = 100 pounds). You can be moving at constant speed slowly (say 1m/s) or at constant speed quickly (say 3m/s),and the force you exert is still the same 100 pounds for both cases.
As I said above, I cant see how the weight would move on its own ??? it would be more like 125, 150, 150, 150, 150, 125, 125, 80, 20, zero movement for the transition.
If the forces averaged out, why/how is the EMG readings higher, why/how is power higher why/how do you use more energy, why/how does the fast move the weight 6 times further, why/how do you fail on the fast far faster ???
Play from 5.00
Note that the differences.
Power 649
Force 546
Velocity 161.
Power 829
Force 579
Velocity 192.
Imagine if the person had done 6 repetitions fast and one slow, the force on the fast would/could be far far far higher, as on the video, the speeds were basically quite close.
Quote by
Your muscles are tiring more easily in the high powered fast case, because internal energy is being lost from the complex muscular activity..
Yes, thats because I have to be using more force ??? If not how/why else would I need to use more energy ???
Quote by
if your muscles were robotic, it wouldn't matter..or a machine getting powered electrically...but humans are not machines, they need chemical/biological/food energy to operate.
The machine too would need more energy to use more force, its impossible otherwise to use more force without more energy, is it not ???
Quote by
Don't confuse the two.You are not correct.
So why is more energy used when force goes up then, as its not a coincident that the exact moment you use more force you use more energy, is it ???
Quote by
However, the power required is greater when you are moving faster with the same applied force.
You would have to use more force to move faster. Where Fnet is the total external force.

Need help with boiling potatoes!
- d
- DanaB Dec 19, 2004 04:00 PM
I know that boiling potatoes sounds like a routine kitchen task that everyone should be able to figure out without much thought. I'm fine when boiling potatoes for mashed, because it doesn't matter how they look when done (because you are going to smush them up). When making potato salad, though, I'd prefer to have the potatoes come out cooked through, but not lose their shape. The last couple of times I've made them, I've either overcooked them, or there's some trick I'm missing, because they end up falling apart (even when I carefully monitor them). I'm using waxy potatoes rather than russets for the potato salad, and I peel and cut them into uniform sizes (not too small, about in 2-3 inch pieces. Should I not peel them before cooking? Should I be cooking them in bigger pieces? Can you steam them rather than boil for better texture? Thanks for any tips!
You are right to use red potatoes, but don't cut them into more than one or two pieces before boilng, and only if they are much larger than the other potatoes. After they're done (probably 25 minutes in the water) cool them and THEN cut them to the size you want.
I never peel my red potatoes before boiling for potato salad...I leave them whole...if they are different sizes, well, then I stand around and test the smaller ones first after a while of boiling, I want to say maybe 20-25 minutes; the test is when a knife will just go through the potato...this is very tricky for me...occasionally, mine will be a tad undercooked. But, I cannot stand mushy potato salad! Just my 2 cents.
I use russets for potato salad, boil them whole and peel and cut up when fork tender. The reds are too waxy for a good potato salad and do not absorb the dressing well, this = bland boring potato salad. When fork tender, impale on a fork and peel. Break up in a bowl and salt and then add vinegar to taste while still hot. Allow to come to room temp. before proceeding with the rest of the ingredients.
I have used all kinds of potatoes (Russet, red, Yukon gold, purple) in a cold salad; type depends on the other ingredients and texture I'm trying to achieve.
Regardless of type of potato, I NEVER peel or cut them before boiling. Boiling peeled chunks not only causes them to fall apart more easily, but also extracts some of their flavor IMO. Always boil w/ skins on. When done, run cold water over them and let them cool for few min. Using a clean dish towel or paper towel to protect your fingers from heat, slough off the skin (it should separate very easily). Cube or slice potatoes into desired shape.
You may already know this, but it's important to add the vinegar/vinaigrette while the potatoes are still warm to maximize absorption. BTW, when my potatoes have accidentally been too mushy, I just proceeded to make the salad in the same way. Even though it may not have been ideal, it was still pretty darn tasty.
The shape of your pieces might have something to do with it, i.e. slices vs. cubes (or quarters). My thinking is that the sharp "corners" of a chunk disintegrate readily during boiling. Good for stews. Bad for potato salad. Slices don't have much of a "edge" to break off, especially with the skin on.
First, use waxy potatoes that are all of roughly the same size so that they'll cook in the same amount of time. Place them--whole and unpeeled--in a pot with enough cold water to cover them. Turn the heat to high and bring the water to a boil. Once it reaches a boil add some salt and immediately turn the heat down to a bare simmer. Simmer gently until you can insert a knife into a potato with very little, but some, gentle resistance. In my experience this usually takes about 20 minutes from beginning to end. Drain the potatoes, then put them back into the dry pot and shake them gently over medium heat until they dry out and start to squeak.

50+: Live Better, Longer
Starting Your Role As Caregiver
Where to Begin?
It's time to start thinking of yourself as a caregiver when the following types of events occur:
- A major health problem, or a collection of smaller ones, is starting to cramp your mother's style.
- Financial problems (overdrawn checks, unpaid bills, huge credit balances) start cropping up.
- Grandpa doesn't get out as much as he used to and seems less interested in what's going on around him.
- Home maintenance is slipping: things that break around your parent's house are not repaired.
- Your parent's, lawn or garden, once meticulous, becomes overgrown.
- Dad's refrigerator is poorly stocked, or food that is past its prime still hangs around.
- Your grandfather just passed away, and your grandmother is living alone for the first time in forty years.
- Your father doesn't dress as spiffily as he once did and has stopped shaving and doing other personal care rituals.
- Mom has a fender bender at the mall for the second time this year.
- Dad seems distracted or forgetful when you speak to him on the phone.
- You've figured out that helping the older adult in your life now, even when there are no clear problems, might help prevent trouble later.
Get online if you're not there already. There is a wealth of helpful information for older adults and caregivers on the Internet. If you can introduce your parents to the Internet, that's great. If you can't, let them watch as you surf, just so they can get a feel for the help that's out there. If you're not computer literate or you don't own a computer, go to the library and arrange to take lessons if you can -- most public libraries offer Internet access these days. Don't cut yourself off from the world of help that's out there for you. Don't storm the gates at the first sign of trouble. If you feel you should get more involved in your mother's life, do it as gradually and respectfully as possible. Remember that if you're really trying to help, you'll do a lot better if you don't alienate or overwhelm her.
"It took me a while to realize that my parents needed help. I was so close to the situation and it happened so gradually that I didn't catch on -- or maybe I didn't want to catch on and admit that they were in trouble, because it was painful to see. Anyway, my best friend came with me to visit them one afternoon. Since she was more removed and not personally involved, she could see what was going on more clearly, and she opened my eyes to the fact that I needed to take some action."
-Louise Grady
Define your responsibilities as a caregiver. Make a list. Set up guidelines for what you will and won't do. Put it in writing and stick to it. If other family members can't help, make a decision to hire someone to perform the duties you can't or would rather not handle.

I just saw this exact thing in Chelsea (Ninth Avenue and 19th St.) today! Sorry, I can't remember the store's name, but perhaps another reader can. (It's not La Cafetiere, but the other store, about a block south of it. )
I think I've seen it in a Sundance catalog or Napa Style catalog but it's not on their site.
Right here .
Alternatively you could do a pretty close DIY with these. http://www.re-foundobjects.com/product/view/109
Michele Varian was the one who originally supplied it for the photoshoot in Blueprint. She is in SoHo. And is is a very pretty shop.
Here is it...
There is one at a store called Extraordinare in 6th and Lamar, Austin, TX. Good luck!
You can also find it here:
A friend of mine has it....it's pretty cool...good luck!
Thanks everyone for your help!

baltimore county high performance homes bill
Baltimore County has just passed the High Performance Homes Bill, which offers a property tax credit to homeowners who invest in improving the energy efficiency of their homes. The Bill went into effect June 25, 2010. The amount of the tax credit is a percentage of the total County property tax assessed on the home that is equal to the percentage of increased energy efficiency achieved in the process of renovation or new construction. The tax credit starts at 30% efficiency for three years and increases to a carbon neutral home with a 100% tax credit for five years. Michael Hindle, CPHC and Carri Beer, AIA, LEED ap worked assiduously with Councilman Vince Gardina to make this bill a reality for Baltimore County residents. Contact us to help make your home more efficient or to design a new carbon neutral home!

November 12, 2013
Before coming to Ecuador, I had heard how common it was to have hired help around the house. I started to think my parents were non-participators in this culture until one day I came home from school and Papa Miguel introduced me to "La Tere". It took me a while to figure out that they were saying "Tere" as in "Teresa".
Teresa is a darling old woman who has been working for the family for decades. Every Monday, Wednesday and Friday when I walk in the door she greets me with a smile and shows me where my dinner and clean clothes are. She calls me usted (respectful 'you' form) and asks me how my day went or my plans for the weekend. She is absolutely delightful to talk to, and converses in the most gentle way possible, somehow managing to always put the spotlight on me, even though I'm terribly curious about HER life.
The one unsettling thing about La Tere is that she seems to be obsessed with telling me all the horror stories of the host girls before me, who were robbed right in our neighborhood in broad daylight or got sick from food poisoning.
Typically, after the terrible tale has been told with this awfully concerned expression on her face, the wrinkles relax and she finishes with a "but don't worry…as long as you're careful, you'll be fine."
But as I asked before, what does being careful consist of!?!?!
Back to the Tere that I love so dearly – my family seems to adore her equally. But every now and then, her name will slip into the conversation in a way that surprises me. The following story requires a bit of background. My family has mentioned to me several times that Tere is from "el sur" – the not-so-nice side of town. My host father once explained to me that loads of poor people decided to plant themselves there, and while the government tried hard to kick them off, there were too many of them to shoo away. So they eventually gave up and let them be. But the construction of the neighborhoods there is extremely convoluted and disorganized, obviously, because people decided to set up shop on that land in a spur-of-the-moment/'we just need some goddamn shelter and NOW" kind of manner.
Papa Miguel also mentioned to me HOW many of the houses are constructed one day as we drove by hundreds of unfinished shacks up on the hill. Supposedly people just put up as many walls/ceiling as they can afford to put up at once, and if the house if missing a wall or too, they'll just go without it until they've made enough plata to complete the rest. Sometimes shacks will go on missing walls for years – this is the level of poverty that the majority of Ecuadorians live in, unfortunately. In fact I almost had the opportunity to work for an organization that works with children of parents who sift through trash, searching for things to sell and food to eat. How tragic is that?
Anyways, put Tere in this kind of context, and also know that her brother is dying of brain cancer, and it turns out she's probably one of the most incredible women I've met. Because never have I walked in the door and seen a Tere without a smile on her face. Sometimes she seems tired, or quieter than usual, but she's always interested in me and how I'm doing – no matter what's going on her life. And that's just about the most admirable thing anyone could do. It gives my life a whole lot of perspective.
On a similar note, one thing that surprised me the other day….I have to pre-empt this with the following – I never saw my parents as types to put a barrier between themselves and their maid (they're extremely casual people). However, when we were cleaning up after dinner the other night, Mama Evelyn was about to throw something away, and Papa Miguel said, "you know what, why don't we give it to La Tere – I'm sure she would take it." This didn't strike me so strongly until Mama Evelyn said, "Ya…pobre Tere, es una basurera," meaning "Poor Tere, she's a garbage woman." !!!!
Now keep in mind she said it in the most empathetic way possible, but to me, it still came off strong. And for the first time, I started to think maybe my family wasn't as informal and low-key as I had thought.
But the point is, "basurera" or not, I love my Tere. And I will try my best to show her as much love as she shows me every day. Because if she can show that much happiness, hell, anyone can.

Daniel Solove
Adult Nonfiction K3264.C65 S65 2007
Summary: Teeming with chatrooms, online discussion groups, and blogs, the Internet offers previously unimagined opportunities for personal expression and communication. But there's a dark side to the story. A trail of information fragments about us is forever preserved on the Internet, instantly available in a Google search. A permanent chronicle of our private lives#151;often of dubious reliability and sometimes totally false#151;will follow us wherever we go, accessible to friends, strangers, dates, employers, neighbors, relatives, and anyone else who cares to look. This engrossing book, brimming with amazing examples of gossip, slander, and rumor on the Internet, explores the profound implications of the online collision between free speech and privacy. nbsp; Daniel Solove, an authority on information privacy law, offers a fascinating account of how the Internet is transforming gossip, the way we shame others, and our ability to protect our own reputations. Focusing on blogs, Internet communities, cybermobs, and other current trends, he shows that, ironically, the unconstrained flow of information on the Internet may impede opportunities for self-development and freedom. Long-standing notions of privacy need review, the author contends: unless we establish a balancenbsp;betweennbsp;privacy and free speech, we may discover that the freedom of the Internet makes us less free. nbsp;

160-page full-color 9" x 6.75" hardcover • $22.99
Joe McCulloch at Comics Comics describes it aptly: "An interesting experiment in Golden Age of Reprints presentational engineering, this new 160-page landscape-format Fantagraphics hardcover collects all of the great Basil Wolverton's crackpot daily advice strips as seen in the pages of Fawcett's Whiz Comics, 1945-52, presented in comparison with Wolverton's original pencil roughs for what looks like every installment." The Comics Reporter's Tom Spurgeon brings the basketball metaphor: "Who doesn't want to read as much Basil Wolverton as they can? He's not in the starting all-time five, but he gets a lot of playing time off the bench." At Comics Alliance Douglas Wolk declaims "Goofiness, history and process!"
Mome Vol. 18 - Spring 2010
Joe McCulloch at Comics Comics opines "The centerpiece of this Spring 2010 edition of the Fantagraphics house anthology is, without question, the return of Dave Cooper to comics" and of the other contributors says "That really is a nice lineup"; Tom Spurgeon of The Comics Reporter agrees that it "offers a super-strong line-up of creators." We can't disagree — you can see the full table of contents and samples from each contributor as part of our PDF excerpt.
So head on down to your local comic shop, but not before checking out the bountiful information and sneak peeks at the links above, and it's always a good idea to confirm availability beforehand.

We sold out of numerous titles, some within hours (and to the chagrin of our artists who ran out of books to sign — sorry!), and had mobs of fans turn out for our signings.
I took a load of photos; some highlights are below, followed by an embedded slideshow with lots more shots (which you can also view full screen) and a mosaic of thumbnails to browse. You can also browse the full set of photos with captions on our Flickr page.

The multiple Harvey and Eisner Award nominee returns for its fifth year. With this issue, the series has now featured over 2000 pages of comics in its four and half years of existence (2109, to be exact), which may be a record for an English-language alternative comics anthology. This issue's cover is by Nate Neal, who delivers "The Neurotic Nexus of Creation," a 15-page explication of the creative process. MOME 18 also includes the first new comic in several years by Dave Cooper, as well as the MOME debuts of Tim Lane, Ivan Brun, Joe Daly, and Jon Adams. Also returning are MOME stalwarts Lilli Carré, Ben Jones, Frank Santoro, Jon Vermilyea, Nicolas Mahler, Ted Stearn, Renée French, Conor O'Keefe, Derek Van Gieson, and T. Edward Bak.

Goal of the Season
The Goal of the Season title for 2005/06 was hotly contested.
Graeme Sharp, the man who whittled the shortlist down to 10 of the season's best efforts from the boys in blue, presented the award on the night.
James Beattie was the recipient for his delightful chipped effort from the edge of the box in the 3-1 victory over Fulham at Goodison in March.
The selection was made by registered users of evertonfc.com. They selected Beattie's effort ahead of other such notable goals as Mikel Arteta's free-kick against Villarreal in the Champions League qualifier second leg, James McFadden's sweet 30-yard volley against Fulham, Leon Osman's crisp completion to a glittering move in the 2-2 draw at West Ham and Beattie's own solo effort against Arsenal in January.
Beattie said: "There have not been too many (from me) this season but that was a nice one.
"Tony Warner, who was in goal for Fulham, is a friend of a friend so it was good because I also got the reaction from him after the game. It was nice."

Letters to God.
Found this cute book at BookSale. The title caught my attention thinking what could this book be all about.
As i opened it, there was a note saying: "We make a living by what we make; we make a life by what we give. -Love Grandma"
I was touched. This little book was given from a loving grandma to her little grandchild.
And as I continue to flip the pages and read some letters, I just said to myself, "I'm gonna buy this and give this to my little nieces." And so I did.
It's so amazing how little kids would just simply talk to God about everything under the heat of the sun. All their innocence and such reminds me of what childhood is all about. How about you, do you have anything to say to God?

A Pill Of Life
A dream , a secret wish takes me for a groovy-ride
to be strong and tough and not the baby -cry.
I muse up on Popeye ,the macho sailor man
envy him for that leaves he had in a simple can
handy that he kept, to puff his muscles out
when swallowed a tuft of spinach in to his gout.
spinach would mess me up at work and play
so, I would rather 'pill ' em up in a pop- down pill
boss or boys, creed does not matter
pill must work well with all in a batter
one for the boy, 2 for the howling lady,
3 for the boss ,so it goes ; keep more for the bawdy
Pills to tough me up to deal with the deceptive and dowdy ones
to live a kingly life and dust happy hands off their pokes and puns
For Russell Sivey's contest- Pill Of Life.

As I learned from reading Steve Rushin's "The 34-Ton Bat," before Colonel Jacob Ruppert purchased the Yankees and eventually the contract of Babe Ruth, he twice turned down opportunities to buy the Cubs.
The now, (thankfully) seldom-used Cubs outfielder was mentioned today in Jay Jaffe's "Hit & Run" column at Baseball Prospectus (subscription required).
In the piece, which focuses on replacement-level players holding down jobs for contenders, Jaffe identifies Fukudome as an expensive, though viable, center field option for the Braves, who could use an improvement over Nate McLouth.
Phillies shortstop Jimmy Rollins explaining why he failed to direct teammate Brian Schneider where to slide as Schneider attempted to score the tying run on Placido Polanco's two-out, ninth-inning single Saturday at Wrigley Field. Schneider was safe at home when Geovany Soto dropped Tyler Colvin's throw from left field, and the Phillies proceeded to score three more runs en route to a 4-1 win over the Cubs.
Losing pitcher Carlos Marmol walked five Phillies in two-thirds of an inning, making him the first Cub pitcher to walk five men in less than an inning since 1920.
In a world without the Pittsburgh Pirates, the Cubs would be only four games, rather than ten, below .500, and they would be 5 1/2 games, rather than 9 1/2, behind the division leaders.
Would that it were so. (Though I bet it would still turn my stomach to see Parallel Universe Lou Piniella starting Kosuke Fukudome and Koyie Hill over Tyler Colvin and Geovany Soto.)
Shown: Current NL standings minus the Pittsburgh Pirates and all wins and losses in games involving them.
From my mini game review of Tuesday night's Cubs win posted at The Cub Reporter. Funny how the very things that frustrate you about watching a certain player can become sources of immeasurable joy as soon as said player is wearing somebody else's uniform.
Carlos Zambrano's dugout tantrum at U.S. Cellular Field on Friday afternoon was sickening for most Cub fans to watch, and it was prominent in the baseball headlines yesterday and today. Still, it's not like the Chicago Cubs don't have a history with this sort of thing.

What The Papers Say - 10 November
Reaction to the scoreless draw at Palace in Sunday's papers.
The views on this page are taken from the local and national media and do not necessarily reflect the views of Everton.
Sunday's newspapers report on Everton's scoreless draw with Crystal Palace yesterday afternoon.
The Sunday People's account of the game says that Palace were 'as good as they have been all season' against the Toffees, while the Daily Mirror's assessment is that the Eagles' central defensive pairing of Damien Delaney and Danny Gabbidon did an excellent job in stopping the in-form Romelu Lukaku.
The Sunday Telegraph features post-match quotes from Roberto Martinez who explained that the game was a potential 'banana skin' for Everton and he was pleased that his team did not concede on the counter-attack.
There are more words from the Blues boss in the Independent on Sunday. Martinez says that it was 'always going to be one of those days where the ball hits the crossbar and goes out'.
The Sunday Express reports that Sylvain Distin exchanged a few words with an Everton fan after the final whistle at Selhurst Park.
Elsewhere, the Sunday People claim that Ross Barkley is in line to make his full England debut over the next fortnight and he could start the upcoming friendly against Chile at Wembley.

There's a store called Buyback$ on US Route 20 near the Great Lakes Mall that sells used movies, games, Blu-ray's, etc. They have Band of Brothers on Blu-ray for $32 there!!!! It says used, but all of the original wrap is on there. Seriously though, this deal should not be missed.
Note - They have only a few copies left, but not many people there come for the Blu-ray's.

The Ryan brothers — Rex and Rob — will spend their Thanksgivings doing what they love the most. Rex Ryan and the New York Jets face Tom Brady and the New England Patriots, while Rob Ryan and his Dallas Cowboys defense face rookie sensation Robert Griffin III and the Washington Redskins.
Leading up to the game, Rob Ryan let the cat out of the bad and gave away his very simple strategy for beating RG3 and the Redskins — hit him. Hit him hard.
That's right. On this day of thanks and giving, Ryan plans on welcoming the rookie to the NFC East by giving him one of the most physical games that he has played — now that is love.
"The big thing is we have to hit these guys hard," Ryan said. "That's the big thing. We have big football players out there on defense and we plan on hitting them hard. And that's what is going to happen. Hopefully he will have a bad Thanksgiving."
Ryan does have respect for the rookie signal-caller, but that won't stop him from making sure the Dallas Cowboys defense give this game their all.
"He is a special player," Ryan said. "That's why they traded half a team to get him. Obviously, he's a tremendous athlete and they say he is a hell of a kid. I don't like him, but I know he is very talented. This game looks like it's in slow-motion for him already and hopefully we speed it up a whole lot this week."
If Ryan and the Cowboys can execute his plan, they will bring the Robert Griffin III hype train to a screeching halt.

Good, but it should be obvious that objects CAN be combined. The "your hand isn't empty" made me think combining objects was impossible during the gameplay.
Rated 4 / 5 stars August 10, 2011
One of the clues is wrong.
I had to look up the solution a part of the game on the Flonga website which revealed an inaccuracy in the game, the yellow star has 10 sides, not 5, which makes it much harder to find one of the codes.
Other than that its a very fun, engaging game.
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars August 10, 2011
its i-pad right?
cool i-pad , the game was quite short i havent even familiarize using the i-pad yet , i got through to the end but at times i find it difficult to find direction , and almost at the end with 4 switches to push for turning on the power where is the hint for that?
overall cool game just wish it was longer .

"Other countries drink to get drunk, and this is accepted by everyone; in France, drunkenness is a consequence, never an intention. A drink is felt as the spinning out of a pleasure, not as the necessary cause of an effect which is sought: wine is not only a philter, it is also the leisurely act of drinking."

Hacker group Anonymous downs US government site
Hacker group Anonymous downs US government site
The website of the commission, an independent agency of the US Justice Department involved in sentencing, was apparently hacked into early Saturday.
Anonymous threatened to make public the encryption keys to files that could potentially embarrass judges and other federal employees, saying it acted in protest at the Justice Department's alleged mishandling of Swartz's case.
Swartz was facing 35 years in prison and a $1 million fine for breaking into a closet at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology to plug into the computer network.
He downloaded millions of academic journal articles he had allegedly planned to distribute for free.
Friends and relatives have accused overzealous prosecutors of contributing to the 26-year-old's suicide. He was found hanged in his New York apartment earlier this month.
Swartz was just 14 when he co-developed the RSS feeds that are now the norm for publishing updates online and went on to help launch social news website Reddit.
"As a result of the FBI's infiltration and entrapment tactics, several more of our brethren now face similar disproportionate persecution, the balance of their lives hanging on the severely skewed scales of a broken justice system," Anonymous said in a video posted on YouTube.
The hackers said they had infiltrated several US government computer networks and copied secret data that they could release.
Likening the data to a nuclear weapon, Anonymous said it had "enough fissile material for multiple warheads" it could launch against the Justice Department and agencies that the group says intrude on individual liberties.
The FBI said in a statement that it was investigating the attack.
"We were aware as soon as it happened and are handling it as a criminal investigation," said Richard McFeely, of the bureau's Criminal, Cyber, Response and Services Branch.
The Anonymous operation came just days after US Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano warned of a looming "cyber 9/11" that could especially target critical infrastructure planks such as water, electricity and gas lines.
The loosely affiliated network of hacktivists, has attacked sites around the world, including those of MasterCard and Visa, the Justice Department and the Tunisian and Yemeni governments.
