Disappearance of Sripad Bhakti Svarupa Damodara Maharaja
Scientific Basis of Krishna Consciousness was the first ISKCON book I read and immediately decided to join ISKCON. I am eternally grateful to Srila Bhaktiswarup Damodar Maharaj for showing me the path to Krishna Consciousness.
I did not have the foresight to personally go and thank His Holiness.
Later, after many years I sent him an email via another devotee because I was not able to get his email address. I was hoping that one day I would be able to personally thank him. Now I have been deprived of that opportunity.
I offer my dandavat pranams and thank him for his years of tireless service to Srila Prabhupad and ISKCON and for being my patpradarshak guru.

If You Add The Last Two Digits Of The Year You Were Born In & Add It To The Age You Will Turn Or Have Turned In 2O11 - The Sum Will Always Be 111.

Hookay so go to Michael's or some other craft store and get some chain. I got like like 90 inches for four dollars.
Ok I used two pairs of pliers, but you def don't need to if you don't have butter fingers. Measure around your head, and then you want to peel the chain link apart with your pliers
So I held the link with one pair of pliers, while I used the other pair to pull them apart. So once you've gotten the size of your head, get that length of chain and then re-link the chain to create a circle. If you screw up the size of your head (I had a length of chain that was too short the first time) that's fine, because you can always reconnect the chain. Here's a picture of a pulled apart link
So then try on your complete circle around your head to make sure it fits and is comfortable-remember you can always adjust length. Then use the rest of your chain to reattach it to your circle. Center part your hair with the attached long length at the back of your head. Bring it forward so it rests atop your center part, and then choose the link that you want to break away from the long length of chain and attach to your circle.
You can tell which circle goes around your head because it is shorter. This is just one chain, but of course you can add more for a bit of a waterfall affect, and you can add stuff and use more interesting chain. I got awesome silver chain link but I didn't buy enough…Anyway here's finished product!
Again, let me know if this tutorial was helpful, and if you have any tips for me to add, let me know. Also if it sucked and made no sense haha. If you're having trouble, I would prefer if you could ask NON anon so I can answer them directly! Thanks for reading!! xxoo

- Cinematography Awards Go to John Bailey Twice
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Betty White has had countless roles over her award-winning career, but now she has a gig she's always wanted: "Forest Ranger."
The actress known for her roles on "The Golden Girls" and "The Mary Tyler Moore Show" was made an honorary ranger Tuesday by the U.S. Forest Service. White, 88, said that as a young girl she wanted to be a forest ranger, but women weren't allowed to have the job.
RELATED: Who should Betty White date in Hollywood?
On Tuesday, the Forest Service presented her with a badge and a ranger's Stetson hat, which she donned during a ceremony at the Kennedy Center. When Smokey Bear arrived mid-ceremony, White gave him a big bear hug and later asked to take the Forest Service mascot with her. She settled for a toy Smokey with its own small hat.
"Wilderness is harder and harder to find these days on this beautiful planet, and we're abusing our planet to the point of almost no return," White said. "In my heart I've been a forest ranger all my life, but now I'm official."
RELATED: Politicians who have had odd jobs
White said some of her first memories as a child are riding in front of her father on a horse into the High Sierras. They would stay for three weeks and never see "another two-legged soul," she said. The family also went camping in Yellowstone National Park. White said her teachers eventually asked that she write essays on topics other than Yellowstone.
The Forest Service began in 1905, but very few women were employed during the early years. Today, women make up 38 percent of the Forest Service's workforce.
White, who recently won an Emmy for her guest-hosting stint on "Saturday Night Live," is in Washington for a ceremony to honor comedian Tina Fey, who is receiving the nation's top humor prize.
"It's a formal affair," she said. "Would it be all right if I wore the hat?"

Three-time Emmy Award winning anchor will give lecture on February 7
Friday, January 18, 2013
During her four-decade career, Simpson was the first African-American woman to anchor a local newscast in Chicago, serve as a national network television correspondent, and anchor a national network newscast - ABC's World News Tonight. She was also the first woman or minority to moderate a presidential debate.
Simpson relates her experiences in her memoir, NewsLady, in which she recounts how she endured and conquered sex discrimination and racial prejudice to reach the top ranks of her profession. Along the way she covered some of the most important news events of the time – walking alongside Martin Luther King, Jr. as he marched, and helping anchor live ABC News coverage of Nelson Mandela's release from his 27-year imprisonment.
Simpson retired from ABC News in 2006 to become Leader-in-Residence at Emerson College's School of Communication in Boston, where she teaches courses in public affairs reporting, political communication, broadcast journalism, and serves as writing coach for Journalism students.
Free and open to the public, Simpson's lecture for 5:30pm in the 2nd Floor Amphitheater of University Hall, followed by a reception and book signing at 6:30pm.
This event is sponsored by the University Diversity Council at Lesley University, whose mission is to help all members of the Lesley community find common ground, while providing opportunities to value and support diversity-related efforts at the University and in the community.

06/1992 (BGVN 17:06) New submarine volcano identified; no gas bubbling
06/1992 (BGVN 17:06) New submarine volcano identified; no gas bubbling
Three previously unknown submarine arc stratovolcanoes have been identified at the S end of the Kermadec Ridge: Rumble V (36.140°S, 178.195°E, summit 700 m below sea level); Tangaroa (36.318°S, 178.031°E, summit 1,350 m below sea level); and Clark (36.423°S, 177.845°E, summit 1,150 m below sea level) (figure 1). All three have basal diameters of 16-18 km and rise from the seafloor at ~2,300 m depth. The first evidence of the volcanoes was from GLORIA side-scan mapping of the southern Havre Trough-Kermadec Ridge region in 1988 (Wright, 1990). Later investigations, including a photographic and rock-dredge study during the 3-week Rapuhia cruise (early 1992), confirmed previous interpretations. Side-scan and photographic data show a complex terrain of lava flows and talus fans on the flanks of all three volcanoes, with the most pristine-looking morphology at Rumble V. During the 1992 cruise, gas bubbles were detected acoustically, rising from the crests of Rumble III, IV, and V. No gas bubbling was evident from Tangaroa or Clark. Bathymetric surveys indicated that the summits of the shallowest volcanoes, Rumble III and IV, were at ~140 and 450 m, respectively, below the sea surface.

Clark submarine volcano lies near the southern end of the Southern Kermadec arc. This basaltic and dacitic stratovolcano consists of a basal substrate of massive lava flows, pillow lavas, and pillow tubes overlain by volcaniclastic sediments. Craters occupy the complex crest of the volcano. Clark is the southernmost volcano of the submarine chain that displays hydrothermal activity. Diffuse hydrothermal venting and sulfide chimneys were observed near the summit of Clark volcano during a New Zealand-American NOAA Vents Program expedition in 2006.
The Global Volcanism Program is not aware of any Holocene eruptions from Clark. If this volcano has had large eruptions (VEI >= 4) prior to 10,000 years ago, information might be found on the Clark page in the LaMEVE (Large Magnitude Explosive Volcanic Eruptions) database, a part of the Volcano Global Risk Identification and Analysis Project (VOGRIPA).
The Global Volcanism Program has no synonyms or subfeatures listed for Clark.

Hot water (221° C, 430° F) was sampled at the base of this sulfide chimney, which is almost 6 meters high. Clark submarine volcano lies near the lower end of the Southern Kermadec arc and is the southernmost volcano of the submarine chain that displays hydrothermal activity.

SALISBURY, Md. - The city of Salisbury was named one of the top 100 places to live according to the America's Promise Alliance.
A ceremony was held in Salisbury University to celebrate the event.
"As a mayor and a teacher, it is incredibly overwhelming because I know all of the work that goes into making children safer. Building leadership, making progress in their families in terms of health. Those things have to be addressed. They have to be talked about and we do here. We're not the most perfect community ever put but this award is about moving us forward as the people and really what it is that we do for young people here on the lower shore" says mayor Jim Ireton.
Ireton was not the only politician in attendance. Maryland Senator Jim Mathias was also at the ceremony as well as Wicomico County Executive Rick Pollitt.
"It's a great day in Salisbury. One of the 100 best communities to raise a child. That's what it is all about. When you hear about a bright tomorrow, it's all about our children and when you look at the programs that are here, the opportunities that are here for our children, when you look at the adults, you look at all those that are here today. I'm just proud to be a part of them. When you look at Salisbury and all of America's city, one of the 100 best communities and you look at the collaboration and the partnership that's what it's all about. To look forward to a brighter tomorrow in Wicomico and in Salisbury, Maryland" Says Mathias.
The ceremony also included a dance and song performance.

Washington, DC
Thursday, May 3, 2012
University of Maryland Economics Professor Peter Morici believes that college students are unable to pay off their education loans because they are studying the wrong subjects.
Morici discussed his editorial, "Why Johnny can't pay his pile of student loans," on the Washington Journal this morning. He argued that "what students do in college really matters."
Students from Asheville-Buncombe Technical Community College in Asheville, North Carolina responded to Professor Morici as C-SPAN launches its Campaign 2012 North Carolina tour today.
The C-SPAN Campaign 2012 Bus is embarking on a week-long tour of universities and towns throughout the state ahead of the May 8 North Carolina Republican presidential primary and the Democratic National Convention in Charlotte this coming September.
Tout, a social media technology company, is partnering with C-SPAN to encourage citizens and students to instantly record and share their thoughts on the presidential campaign.

Hyundai tries to "keep it real"
Months back (probably six months ago at this point) I heard about the Whole Foods Parking Lot video. My friend, who is queen of all things YouTube explained the premise and I kind of shrugged it off as probably another lame white guy rapping. *yawn* BORING. But my curiosity got the best of me and I watched and instantly loved it. Rapping about kinwah, kombucha, master clenses and kale is sooo well…LA.
Anywho, from time to time I would revisit the video for a quick chuckle. Then around holidays, Hyundai dropped two spots featuring Whole Foods DJ Dave.
My first reaction?
"Heeeey it's the whole foods dude!"
Second thought?
"Hyundai? Isn't he driving a Prius in the Whole Foods video? Why didn't Toyota pick him up?"
And then I got to thinking…
Prius advertising is pretty darn spot on. As the saying goes…if it ain't broke, don't fix it! They're minivans got the needed push with the Swagger Wagon campaign that also leans heavily on the novelty of corny white people rapping. Toyota/Saatchi could have looked at a way to incorporate DJ Dave for the new 2012 Toyota Camry but based on the spots out there now it looks they're trying to up the sophistication and class of one of America's best selling cars.
So if Toyota wasn't hopping on DJ Dave this probably should have been a sign to Hyundai to leave the DJ Dave in the realm of "youtube vid of the month"
The two spots that came out of the partnership between DJ Dave and Hyundai end up coming off contrived and forced. On a scale of novel to extremely corny it goes
- Saatchi's Toyota Swagger Wagon campaign.
Sure there was some corniness to it but it was tasteful, funny, and it told me a story about a married couple trying to stay hip after becoming parents. It's completely relatable. I still remember thinking how funny it was to watch a suburban-looking dad with a baby strapped to his chest, swoop into Target and grab Kanye's latest CD the week it came out.Let's hope it was the edited v version…
- DJ Dave's Whole Foods Parking Lot youtube video.
Funny, catchy, and completely relevant to the people on the west side of LA.
- Hyundai's spots with DJ Dave.
What I really want to know is who wrote the rhymes; copywriters, DJ Dave, or was it a collabo? Either way the rhymes were mediocre at best and I really don't know how relatable a guy rapping about gas mileage is. Especially when he talked about the gas saving electric features of his Prius in the youtube video that lends him the notoriety the Hyundai spots so clumsily try to leverage.
As for DJ Dave? Nothing but love. He made more than a few bucks -i'm sure- and continued to build his own personal brand. Don't laugh either, you never know…DJ Dave could be sitting on a stash of sicker than slick rhymes like Childish Gambino. I doubt it but hey…stranger things have happened. If you didn't know, Whole Foods Parking Lot is not his first video. He's a writer, producer, and composer and has done music for a few movies and quite a bit of notable spots. Check him out! He's also kinda cute so that definitely helps!

The 50 Greatest Cartoonsnote is a list compiled in 1994 by animation historian Jerry Beck of Cartoon Brew, along with many others in the animation field. The criteria were that each cartoon be under 30 minutes long and cel animated (with Gertie the Dinosaur being the sole exception, since it predates cels). Tellingly, 43 of the shorts are from The Golden Age of Animationnote ; 17 of those are from the Warner Bros. studio (a full fifth of the list having been directed by Chuck Jones). Compare to The 100 Greatest Looney Tunes list.

The Runners-UpBesides the main list, the book also included a list of 57 runner up cartoons that almost made it to the list, but ultimately didn't get enough votes. Unsurprisingly, 45 of these shorts are also from The Golden Age of Animation. For convenience, they are posted below:

Tuesday night the Waynesboro School Board begins the search for a new top administrator.
Robin Crowder announced on Friday that he's stepping down after nearly 23 years with Waynesboro schools - the last seven as superintendent.
Waynesboro School Board member Melinda Ferguson says Crowder has done "a wonderful job in remarkably challenging times."
The board formally accepted his resignation Tuesday night, but Crowder believes he has more to give and will take his experience to his alma mater, James Madison University. He will again work directly with students, coming full-circle in his 35 years in public education.
"I get to go back and teach and direct a program that targets aspiring administrators for schools, so it's pretty exciting," Crowder said.
Crowder will take over JMU's education leadership program, working with people who want to follow the same path he did, from the classroom to the principal's office.
He worries that whoever takes his job will have to battle the increasing pressure of politics on public schools. During his seven years as superintendent, Crowder has occasionally had to fight for state and local funding. He says one of his few regrets is being unable to pay teachers and administrators what they're truly worth.
But he's confident that he will leave Waynesboro in good hands.
"The right people are in place throughout this school division, whether that's in a classroom or as a principal or as a leader in the school board office. They have vision, and they are the eyes and ears of this community," he said.
Crowder will finish out the school year with Waynesboro.
Board members plan to seek the help of the Virginia School Boards Association in their search for a new superintendent. They say the search will cost anywhere from $12,000 to $15,000. The vice chairman says a headhunter would cost twice as much.
Reported by Tara Todd and Ken Slack.

To do the cool things, you have to be logged in first.
There are a ton of excuses to toss out there after losses like this. We touched on a few of the factors during the broadcast of this game, but it doesn't change anything. The Kings beat the Trail Blazers again, and with the victory, snapped Portland's five-game winning streak and sent the Blazers into Christmas with a loss.
But, given what transpired on the recent six-game homestand, it's still tough to feel too badly about where this team is right now. Being 13-13 would perhaps be disappointing in another season, but it's certainly acceptable, at least in my mind, right now. I can say that because I'm not a player or a coach.
Some of the things you can get away with at home you can't get away with on the road. Portland's turnover total was the only thing that kept Phoenix in the game on Saturday night, and in this game, away from the cozy confines of the Rose Garden, they were a big part of Portland's undoing.
During the homestand the Trail Blazers were able to survive with a shorthanded roster. But, Wesley Matthews was badly missed in this game against Sacramento. The Blazers always ride their starters hard, as you know, but on a second of a back to back, even if it is against the Kings, you can only go to that well so often before it comes back to bite you.
The Kings were playing without DeMarcus Cousins and without Tyreke Evans. As I always say, I'd much rather play a team at full strength than one that's missing a centerpiece of its offense. That sounds strange, but it's so often the case. It enters into a game an "x factor" and the unknown is tough to game plan for.
We wondered, before the game, if the Kings aren't better without Cousins, who is talented, but is like a sponge inside the lane in their offense. He's a bulk shooter and dominates the ball. In this game we saw a Kings team that moved well without the ball, shared shots, and played with a belief. Yes, Portland's defensive struggles had a lot to do with this, but I think Sacramento would win as many games without Cousins as they would with him. Perhaps that'll be put to the test in the near future.
Sacramento shot a scorching 56% against the Trail Blazers on Sunday, and dished out a season-high 31 assists. This is a team that's dead last in the NBA in assists normally.
It also seems like in the NBA you can run into bad matchups. Sometimes it's just that simple. Maybe that's too simple, but it makes losses like this easier to explain.
The Trail Blazers were led by LaMarcus Aldridge, who had 22 points and 11 rebounds, and also by J.J. Hickson who had yet another double-double. Hickson finished with 14 points and 11 rebounds, and extended his streak to 8-straight games in double figures in those catagories.
The backcourt did miss Matthews badly, but still got 17 points and 8 assists from Nic Batum. Damian Lillard also had solid numbers, scoring 15 points and dishing out 7 assists.
It's odd how it works at times in the NBA, but Portland's last two losses have now come at the hands of the Kings. Sandwiched in between the losses was a stretch of five-straight wins.
And, the Blazers will get an immediate shot at redemption, again, against this Sacramento team. The two teams will wrap up their four-game season series on Wednesday night at the Rose Garden. Hopefully Matthews will make his return to the Blazers' lineup.
You can add your thoughts below, as always.
We're so fortunate to be heading home for Christmas. At times the schedule can be brutal, and it's no fun to be away from loved ones at this time of year.
Thanks to you all for your continued support and participation. There's no place like Portland, and even though it's cliché, we've got the best fans in the NBA. Love to you all, and have a very good Christmas. We'll talk to you again on Wednesday from the Rose Garden.
Hey Mike; Merry Christmas to you and that other Mike LOL.I believe we will beat Sactown Wednesday. We are not as good as we want to be and Sactown isn't as bad as we want them to be.No excuses, but not only match ups, but timing of the schedule will indicate the winner. Last game we just came back from a long long road trip an was hung-over from too much home cooking. This game was the second of a BtoB, which isn't normally that bad, but the Phoenix game was very high tempo and ran the legs off our starters, especially Aldridge with that sore ankle.Really it seemed like to me one of the teams started their Christmas vac a might early and it wasn't Sactown. There is not a doubt in my mink that we are a better team then Sac, But maybe I will have to wait until Wednesday to find out.MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYBODYHAROLD GENE MANGUM
Hello Mr. Barrett,I am with you about the sting of a loss isn't burning on this one. SAC may want to phone it in on Wednesday. The pride of our boys won't allow another loss to them.Stotts took a gamble and went with 5 reserves on the floor at once. That let SAC get going. If it would have worked we would be calling Stotts genius for resting our starters. Travis Outlaw. Glory days. He relives it against Portland. His face looks like he is barefoot, sitting on the muddy banks of the Mississippi, reeling in a big yellow cat. Stotts needs to make him uncomfortable early. He will go away.Wesley didn't travel. We need him with the team Mike.I am enjoying this season. I like our group of guys. The future is bright.Happy Holidays !!DAVID J. MCKEE
@Divotking:the Sac announcers said that Smart should tell Travis that our opponents is the Trailblazers every game, because that is the only games he has played well in.I agree with you on the Wednesday game. If we were going to be unproductive in any game, this would be the one. Although I don't like it, bad games do happen, There could have been a let down from the hard fought battle with Phoenix the night before. We started out pretty good and it seemed as though the starters just ran out of gas. Nevertheless they appeared not ready to compete after the first quarter, and that does upset me, but like you it is not biggie.
With another team I would have said since it wasn't going well to use the 4th quarter as practice for the 2nd group. With this team coming back from 18 down in a fourth quarter we get to sit on the edge of our seats to the end. This is an exciting team to watch even as you watch them pass the ball into the 2nd row.Merry Christmas to all.
@Hg;Brandon Roy brought out the best in Outlaw. Took him under his wing. Remember Nate's conditioning drill? In training camp players had to run a certain distance under a certain time. Travis could never pass the test until one year Brandon ran beside him and encouraged him the whole way.Outlaw has been a bust since leaving Portland. However he has been paid well. It's too bad because he has a ton of talent but no work ethic.Enjoy your holidays Hg.
@Divotking: Yes, regardless of Travis off season work ethics, going cat fishing daily with his dad whether then to train, he is a very likable dude, and it is too bad that he doesn't take BB more seriously, and use his talent. Nate told him if he could just learn to go left instead of just right no one could stop him, he practiced that just one summer, started doing it quite well and broke his foot, IMO, it has been down hill since.

a long time fan,
Hello Mr. Millionaire. I would like to know if you do commissions. If so I have a sketch book I would love to add Sock Monkey to. I live in Burbank CA. Is this possible? Please let me know. Thanks.
I have a really weird question…. when you did that George R. Binks Star Wars comic…. was George R still meant to be pronounced Jar Jar?
hello there, i have written this query to you years ago (like about 8 years or so..) and it keeps coming up: one of the BEST cartoon (in LA Weekly) of yours was the one where (i believe it was) drinky crow asks the zen master 'whats the meaning to life?' and after a brief look around the zen-master says something like 'mo-f****** c***sucking* christ, see that tree swaying in the wind' yada yada, how beatiful' ISH. can i have it?? is it archived?
does the description ring a bell??
Tony, quick question: What is the physical size of your originals? Thinking about purchasing a strip for one of my bare walls. The one I had in mind was the scientist who traveled to another planet & spoke to an intelligent food animal who explained to him that there was no humilation involved in being eaten by one's superiors.
you are breaking every known law of physics in the last panel. we are watching you.
you provided me so much aswome drinking material throught the past few years,
that i want to give you somthing back.
Like 2 days ago [ I think ] you provided me with some excelent advice, on what i should do with my free time, and i began to search for things to accompany my task of drinking more,
here is what i found
listen to that the next time you down heroic amounts of alch…
an opinon of it would be nice…
I did do a little jig, but thats aside the point,
i was just talkin about an opinion of the song.
ok, you said that you cannot reveal the reason why you call the strip Maakies right? and that you will only reveal it when a certain someone dies. Well what would happen if you died before he did? i'd tell someone you trust to say it after he's dead if and should that scenario happen.
I'm thinking of buying some original Maakies art from your extensive back catalogue. The ideal strip shall feature:
1. Drinky Crow and Uncle Gabby
2. A ship (or parts thereof)
3. Terrible (but entirely artistically justifiable) violence
4. A 'message'
5. Nutritional information for young mothers.
I am prepared to wait until such a beast springs from your fecund mind.
Hey boss. A long long time ago I picked up your "sock puppet" wasnt it? I havent been in my grandpa's garage in so long I am losing touch with my comic collection. Anyways, I ran across Drinky a few years ago strictly on the web. I dont think I have run across anything so funny since. I feel like its time to go back in. So anyways. I go to the drunk driving class and I was all stoked. Hey I never talked in that thing. I was like fifth amendment. and screw yer conficdentiality. but i just had to talk ab out your stuff. I got too exited and ran on describing in detail the brain. "you tried to kill me" etc. etc. ok. i reckon ever body looked at me like i was crazy.
so this one jackass from then on he keeps throwing in "drinky crow" into the conversation so like what am i sposed to do?
well guess what I caught him walking across the parking lot of a wallmart. I said say "drinky crow" and pushed him and kept saying say drinky crow.. and pushing him. I am lu cky cuz he didnt want to fight as it turns out. I was on probation SO i wanted you to know I was ready to go back to jail to defend Drinky.
what else??
If i wrote you a script and sent it to you would you consider arting it up?
Long time fan; you're hilarious, gifted and insane. Listen: I'm a Chair of an Illustration program in a SCHOOL. I've been reading old Maakies books where you shamelessly self-promote and try and hock your wares. So I came to the webbysite trying to find some original art to procure. I want to hang it in a conference/classroom, where students will see it and be inspired or repulsed or will just maybe know they might make it too. But I can't find that listing. Where could I get such a thing and how much will it cost me. Oh, yes, we are poor as well…
Hi Tony,
Did you ever draw any Hunter S. Thompson-related activities? You and him got a certain resonance, don't ya think?
Just wanted to say beautiful work.
This is nothing but an assumption
but you have always struck me as a whisky drinker/ if not connoisseur
am I correct about this?
if you are what brands do you like
if not what do you prefer?
I would very much like to have a Gelaskin for my MacBook of some of your art. What are the chances?
Hallo, sir!
A few years back, I watched some weird DVD a friend had with a bunch of animated shorts on it, and there were three or four Maakies shorts on it. I think there were a couple with Drinky Crow and maybe one with Gabby and rats at sea. Said friend no longer has the DVD in question, and we're both drunkards, so we can't remember for the life of us what the name of the DVD was. I would really like to get my hands on those shorts…
Please, help?
Thank you kindly.
Where can i get a uncle gabby t-shirt that says "being drunk is the best feeling in my poor world" cira 1999..are they still avalible?
Cool, How many do you have left?
Are either the Hitler or JFK portraits available?
Hey tony, as a young up start/ pen and ink faithful, fuck drawing comics on a computer. I was wondering what movies shaped you as an artist.
We rock with Drinky Crow! http://youtu.be/qMp4pl7XmEo
I wonder what happen when you make a movie of the Maakies due to the cancellation of The "Drinky crow show" or put The "Drinky crow show" on comedy central???
Mr. Millionaire! I used Drinky Crow on wedding invitations and cake toppers.
Here are some pictures of the cake
Thanks for being awesome!
Do you still do drawings (portrait) from a photo? If so, please email me. I love your style. You were great on WTF Podcast too.
Mr. Millionaire,
I bought my girlfriend That Darn Yarn because I thought it was cool, and she loves Victorian houses. Is that your house?
Is it possible to purchase the Drinky shot glasses still? My boyfriend is a huge fan and I'd like to get them for him for Christmas.
Hi Tony,
this is Günther Zabel aka Günni writing. In the 80ies I used to live in the Oranienstraße 4, just around the corner of the Bauhof. The last time we met, was in NYC. It might have been 1990. It was a strange 3-day-visit with Dirk to meet Tina who was in a strange mood.
In the first week of this December I will be in California to fetch back on my daughters, who visits a high-school near San Francisco for some month. I am playing with the idea also to visit Los Angelos. Do we want to meet, having a coffee or even a beer ?
Hasta la vista
Is the sock monkey flash cartoon you made still in existence anywhere?
Awesomely "stern" perspectives! Aubrey and Maturin can't hold a gooey tallow candle to Uncle Gabby and Drinky Crow.
Always watchin' from a lee shore…..
Hey, Tony, when you said that you'll never end the "Maakies" comics, does that means you'll keep making "Maakies" as a long-running comic?
Hi Tony. I sent you an email about buying a strip. Long time fan and proud owner of a two foot bar figurine of the Old Crow mascot (you FB commented on it a couple months ago). And the old TMBG shotglasses. And so on…..After I got the Old Crow, I learned of the Old Crow Speed Shop, a biz devoted to the speed racing culture. An artist named Coop created a cool mascot. http://www.oldcrowspeedshop.com/
hi tony.grant earl lavalley here. im friends with kathe izzo and she said i should contact you.im briefly in la but im working on a cartoon project with a friend .and we could use some advice.
I just wanted to let you know that you draw this strip week in and week out, and as a result I've come to take you for granted. I would apologize, but frankly, I for granted some of the most important, stable things in my life. For example, my bowel movements? Sure, I get cranky when I get irregular, but do I thank my gut when it performs on target. Rarely. My wife's love? My daughter's? Again, I simply expect those in the way I expect caviar and whitening toothpaste. Sex? It's like pennies to me. I'd be bummed to see it gone, but it's always come so easily that I can hardly be bothered to appreciate its presence in my life. So what I'm saying, is that you and your comic strip are in good company, at least where my ingratitude is concerned.
Hi Tony,
I recently came across a stray copy of 'Uncle Gabby' in a British bookshop and read it again and thought it was really beautiful and touching. I still enjoy looking at that lovely piece of 'Sock Monkey' B&W art I bought from you a long time ago.
I am looking forward to the new Fantagraphic s collection – and any new Sock Monkey strips you create.
You may have seen my latest strip called 'The Zaucer of Zilk', which came out earlier this year from IDW. I co-wrote and designed lots of the new Mad Max movie which is out next year. It looks pretty wild and wonderful.
Good luck with the Sock Monkey movie… I will be first in line. Will it be stop frame?
Brendan McCarthy
Did you author a strip called "Chicken Gutz" in the late 60′s? It has the look of MAAKIES and was a favorite of mine. Thanks, keep up the very sick work.
Hello, Mr. Millionaire,
I can't seem to find the super rare Drinky Crow PVC figure anywhere. Premillenial Maakies and The House at Maakies Corner are both very elusive as well. Any chance of a reissue on these items or hints on where I can find them? I need these in my collection. Thanks.
Today I was reading one of your comic strip, and I came across the one about the miniature unicorns. I have been struggling with to find positive in everyday life, and find peace because things in my life are affected by other people. It is something of course you cannot avoid, because we are constantly influenced by other people what we see, what we read, and what we hear. It also affects our moods and our perceptions of life. Today I had wanted to have a very positive day and avoid the negativity of the world, but just coming across your comic strip made me realize I cannot avoid it as much as I try. So I'm writing to say I did not find the humor or the purpose of the comic strip or many of the ones that circulate under the Orlando Weekly. I can't find peace of mind knowing this is how others find humor. So I'm writing to you the comic, to make a difference using your talent. That's all.
I found that comic positively hilarious. Thanks for making a difference using your talent, Mr. Millionaire.
Hey, what possesses you to draw doodles for others' spite, is that supposed to be political humor or just being pimped for cash? Haven't read your comics in months so not sure who you're posting to!
I've been looking for the 6 inch Drinky Crow figure FOREVER now. Do you have any ideas for me on how to get one? It's a must have for someone special. Thank you!
I think to change my life with my wife and my son. This time, we need a million money for change future. This my email, email@example.com

Film festival preview
Atlanta International Documentary Film Festival
Atlanta Underground Film Festival
Aug. 26-30 (times and locations vary). $8 individual tickets are available at the box office of each venue. All-access passes to either event ($25 and $40) are available online: www.docufest.com, www.auff.org.
By Bert Osborne
For the AJC
What better way to start the Atlanta International Documentary Film Festival (aka Docufest Atlanta) than with one about the trials and tribulations of indie filmmakers on the festival circuit?
Set for Aug. 26-Aug. 30 at various venues, Docufest will showcase some 30 films over five days, beginning with a double bill on Wednesday: "Official Rejection," and "Zombie Girl," which documents a 12-year-old who writes and directs her own fright flick. Highland Inn Ballroom Lounge, 644 N. Highland Ave.; 404-874-5756.
The festival's subsequent screenings will alternate between the Carter Center (453 Freedom Parkway; 404-420-5100) and Young Blood Gallery (636 N. Highland Ave.; 404-254-4127) with a series of post-show talks with the filmmakers at Studio Bar in the Artmore Hotel (1302 W. Peachtree St.; 404-876-6100).
On Thursday, "Salute" interviews the black athletes who famously raised their fists in solidarity at the Mexico City Olympics. "Living Is Winning" chronicles former pro cyclist and Ironman Drew Johnston's fight with cancer.
The Aug. 28 lineup goes global, exposing the inhumane living conditions of Panama ("Beauty of the Fight"), El Salvador ("Down the Road") and Ghana ("The Human Experience"). And "Beyond the Call," described as "Indiana Jones meets Mother Teresa," tracks three friends who travel the world with humanitarian aid, at their own expense — and peril.
On Aug. 29, "Mississippi Queen" details the social and familial conflicts that ensue when a rural Southern Baptist woman comes out as a lesbian. "Quest for Honor" investigates "honor killing" in the Middle East.
The festival ends Aug. 30 with an environmental triple-feature: "Blybarnen," about Swedish toxic waste in Chile; "Addicted to Plastic," about pollution and recycling; and "Blue Gold," about corporate greed and the privatization of water in developing countries.
The Atlanta Underground Film Festival is also slated for Wednesday through Aug. 30. The first four days will focus primarily on short subjects. Programmed in groups — animated, narrative, local, foreign, experimental, sexual — all screenings are scheduled either at Eyedrum (290 Martin Luther King Jr. Drive, Suite 8; 404-522-0655) or at Landmark's Midtown Art Cinema (931 Monroe Drive; 678-495-1424).
Throughout the week, audience members will be able to vote on their favorite shorts. The series culminates on Aug. 29 with the Best of the AUFF Shorts, with replays of the most popular entries.
On Wednesday, controversy swirls around a street artist and his amalgamated image of presidents Abraham Lincoln and Barack Obama in "Abraham Obama." And in the campy "Barbariana: Queen of the Savages" is billed as "the first neo-realist barbarian movie." (Also screens Aug. 28.)
Two documentaries are planned Aug. 29 at Lake Claire Community Land Trust (312 Arizona Ave.; 404-370-1300): "We Fun" covers the current Atlanta music scene; "Vicktory to the Underdog" follows local tattoo artist Brandon Bond on a mission to rescue Michael Vick's pitbulls.
The festival ends with 12 films on Aug. 30 — a half-dozen apiece between Eyedrum and the Five Spot (1123 Euclid Ave.; 404-223-1100).
"Dead Buffalo" involves a terminally ill father and his estranged son on a soul-searching trip across the Great Plains. "Between Floors" intercuts among five stalled elevators to observe the characters trapped inside.
Problems develop for a young boy and his sitter, an illegal immigrant, in "Myna Has Gone." "Sita Sings the Blues" is an animated film that draws modern parallels with the story of the Hindu goddess Sita.

TUESDAY, April 12 (HealthDay News) -- In a new study, close to a
third of patients taking the arthritis drug Humira developed an
immune system reaction to it that rendered it ineffective.
Researchers say the finding helps to explain why some people get
relief from their rheumatoid arthritis symptoms while on Humira
(adalimumab), which is made by Abbott Laboratories, while others
gain little or no benefit. Humira belongs to a class of drugs known
as biologics.
In those people for whom the drug is ineffective, the immune
system realizes the drug is a foreign substance and develops
antibodies to it, researchers explained. Those antibodies bind to
the drug and prevent it from working.
"What the publication shows is that Humira, like many other biologic agents, may induce an immunological response against the drug," said senior study author Dr. Gerrit Jan Wolbink, a rheumatologist at Jan van Breemen Research Institute in the Netherlands. "The immunological response works against the drug. This is one of the explanations why some patients do not respond the way we hope they will."
Patients who were also taking methotrexate, another arthritis
drug and an immunosuppressant, were less likely to develop the
antibodies, according to the study in the April 13 issue of the
Journal of the American Medical Association.
Researchers followed 272 patients taking Humira for about three
About 28 percent developed immune system antibodies against the
drug. The reaction tended to happen within the first few months of
starting treatment: About 67 percent of those who developed
antibodies did so during the first 28 weeks.
Patients without antibodies had more of the drug circulating in
their blood. Lower levels of the drug are a sign that the body's
immune system is fighting the drug and it's being removed from the
body, Jan Wolbink explained.
Whether or not patients developed antibodies was also linked to
whether they got relief from their rheumatoid arthritis while on
Nearly half -- 48 percent -- of those without antibodies
experienced a significant reduction of their arthritis symptoms
while taking the drug, while only 13 percent of those who developed
antidrug antibodies got similar relief.
And while 34 percent of patients without antibodies experienced
remission, only 4 percent of those who developed antibodies
Patients who developed antibodies were also more likely to drop
out of the study because of "treatment failure."
Humira is a tumor necrosis factor (TNF) inhibitor, which works
by blocking the action of TNF, a substance known as a cytokine that
contributes to the inflammation of rheumatoid arthritis and other
"If you make antibodies, then Humira doesn't block the action of TNF, and it doesn't work," Jan Wolbink said.
Dr. Olga Belostotsky, a rheumatologist and chief of allergy and
immunology at Lennox Hill Hospital in New York City, said the
research helps explain why some patients don't respond to Humira,
and yet they do respond when switched to another drug in the same
class of TNF inhibitors.
"It's because they don't have antibodies to the other drugs, even when it's another drug in the same group of medications," she said.
Belostotsky said the research suggests it's very important that
patients start methotrexate to suppress the immune system before
starting Humira.
What isn't known is why those 28 percent of patients developed
antidrug antibodies while the rest didn't.
"Why antibodies develop in some people more than the others is unclear, and why people react more to some drugs than others is unclear," Belostotsky said.

I like Richard's new term for AD: "dementia of this or that type." Maybe we should not only stop looking in the brain after death for the type of dementia, but stop looking in the living brain for dementia. Maybe it originates in the liver or gut. And maybe that's why all the brain meds end up making dementia worse.
 Richard Taylor commented on '' tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451d58669e2014e5f7417e6970c 2011-02-25T09:45:20Z 2011-02-25T09:45:20Z Richard Taylor Hello, this study is beyond interesting, and beyond suggesting something. The gold standard of the diagnosis of Alzheimer's Disease was...
Hello, this study is beyond interesting, and beyond suggesting something. The gold standard of the diagnosis of Alzheimer's Disease was to look for certain physical characteristics in the brain, at autopsy of someone who had formerly been diagnosed with demetnia, probably of the alzheimer's type. If these were found, and no other physical characteristics of other forms of dementia were found that for sure this was proof the owner/user of this brain was formerly living with Dementia, for sure of the Alzheimer's type. Now, or at least again, it has been discovered that lots and lots of brains of folks diagnosed with Alzheimer's contain the "tell tale" signs of other forms of dementia. Which came first? Which was the dominating form of dementia? And for some time now brains of folks who had no symptoms of dementia had the same physical characteristics of folks who lived with the symptoms of alzheimer's disease, but these folks exhibited no symptoms of dementia.

This new finding is a brain quake that shakes every cure pill study that assumes this group of people have alzheimer's disease, this group does not. Every diagnosing physician should be shaken by these results. Given the stigma and myths currently being promoted to raise "awareness", and incidentially also promoting fund raising for more cure research should the term Alzheimer's Generation be used to describe the Baby boom generation. Can we really have an "Alzheimer's breakthrough Act" when more than half the folks diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease have in fact a mixed form of dementia? And what of the cure pills tumbling down the pipeline towards the mouths of those of diagnosed with Alzheimer's Disease, even if (an if of gigundo proportions) they have evidence of this form of dementia, the most probably have other forms of dementia too. And what of the hope/hype of a world without alzheimer's disease? Perhaps we already live closer to this world than we are led to believe. But this lessen the symptoms, lessen the burdens, lessen the signma and myths that come with living with the symptoms of dementia?

Of course not. The demon (Alzheimer's disease) seems to be if not naked at least partially naked. And the new parts of his/her body don't look like Alzheimer's disease. There is a monumential mountain of assumptions build upon the claim that Alzheimer's Disease is a distinct form of dementia, it is by itself a curable form of dementia.

And now we are faced with more of the naked truth. Striped of the press releases about breakthrews and lights at the end of the tunnel, now comes yet another fact to be avoided in discussions of more money for research, hope for a cure, champions of Alzheimer's disease. Yet, now those living with the diagnosis end up being the ones once again standing naked. Their symptoms of dementia still show, but the name tattooed across their heads no long rings true. What to do?

Wait, I am sure the vested interests in Alzheimer's Disease will come up with a way for us to rationalize these results. Just wait for the next cheer practice. I'm sure they will find a way to scare us away from the logical conclusions of this new finding and back into their world of trust us, we are the experts.

I think not, I hope not.

It's good to see the SP reaching new people on Meetup. I've been a member since high school. I would like to see our activist events listed here, and lots of other fun stuff too.
We've got our finger on the pulse of what's happening in Boston.
I want to come to the meetup tomorrow but last time I went I got lost. Where exactly is the meeting place located? I know where the building is, and when I went to the 5th floor no one was there. thank you
You are not a Socialist. You are a Nazi because you do not entertain any thoughts or ideas except your own and anyone who does not agree with you is not allowed to speak or write and I believe you would send to a concentration camp.
Hey Matt,
I can't make it to the Zinn planning meeting. I'm not a member yet but should I come to the 5:30 meeting on Sunday, the 21st. Let me know. Thanks. Brandon.
Hey, do we have a permit for the First Night event yet? I just want to make sure we have one before attending. Thanks. :)

No time is a good time to be without a job.
But for the long-term unemployed -- defined as being out of work for at least 27 weeks -- these remain particularly perilous and frustrating times.
More economists and employment officials acknowledge what a group of long-term jobless Triad residents already know firsthand -- some employers are increasingly leery of hiring someone full time who has been out of work that for long, citing potentially deteriorating skills and lack of new training.
Adding to their financial and emotional anxiety is House Bill 4, which has passed the state House and is up for discussion in the state Senate Tuesday.
The bill, which has Gov. Pat McCrory's support, would cut state unemployment insurance benefits from a maximum of weeks 26 weeks to 20 and from a maximum weekly amount of $535 to $350.
The move would affect more than 155,000 North Carolinians if the bill becomes law July 1, according to the N.C. Justice Center, a left-leaning advocacy group.
A 2011 study by the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond shows that as workers age, it becomes increasing harder to recover from taking a 40 percent hit in net worth; for many North Carolinians that would represent basically a 40 percent reduction in their paycheck.
"The proportional shock pushes the household deeper into debt and is costliest when the household has the most debt," according to the study. "As age increases, so does median wealth, and the same percentage drop in net worth represents a much larger absolute loss."
'Playing with people's lives'
Connie Reynolds, 53, of Mocksville has been searching for work for more than two months after her general clerk job at Parks Mazda in High Point was eliminated after nearly 10 years. She said she made $13.25 an hour, or about $530 a week.
"I had a decent paying job with a company I liked working for, and now I'm down to nothing," Reynolds said. "I had no warning I was being replaced, no write ups or anything. They just wanted to bring in someone part time that they could pay less."
To lower her expenses, Reynolds has moved in with her parents, both of whom have health issues. She said she expects to get her first unemployment benefit check this week after some miscommunications between the company and the N.C. Division of Employment Security delayed the filing process.
"I used my last paycheck to pay up my bills, but that was two months ago, and now I am getting creditors calling for their money," Reynolds said.
"This already has been leaving a real sour taste in my mouth, so to hear my benefits may be cut after July 1 in this economy is just unfair for somebody who wants desperately to work even with a herniated disk. I don't want to live off disability. I want to earn my living as I have my whole life.
"These legislators are playing with people's lives, and they just don't seem to care. I don't think they ever will unless losing their job happens to them or somebody close to them," Reynolds said.
Under a living wage
It's not easy to determine how much of an impact having the weekly maximum benefit drop from $535 to $350 would have on N.C. households. The weekly benefits have taxes taken out.
To qualify for the current $535 maximum weekly benefit, a person would have to make at least $55,000. With the drop to a maximum $350 weekly benefit, a person would have to make at least $37,000.
The N.C. Justice Center estimates it takes an average of $874 a week for a N.C. family of three to pay their actual costs of housing, food, health care and transportation. That is $524 more than the proposed $350 maximum benefit would cover.
"When people are out of work for longer periods, their health deteriorates, their savings are depleted and their job skills erode," the center said. "They increasingly have to choose between shelter, food and transportation because they increasingly can't afford even those staples."
Local real estate agents say the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development has a rule of thumb that homeowners should spend no more than 30 percent of their gross income on a mortgage.
For a household with $55,000 in annual income, that means it has about $1,060 in gross weekly income and about $742 in net weekly income when calculating an overall 30 percent tax rate. At 30 percent of $55,000, the household could be expected to reasonably afford up to a $1,375 monthly mortgage.
A $350 weekly benefit would not cover that household's monthly mortgage, much less provide any money for food, automobile expenses and other monthly expenditures.
As a result, opponents of the bill say the reduced benefits will lead to more foreclosures, defaults on credit card and other loans, and more people requiring the assistance of local charitable groups already stretched to the breaking point in providing aid to pay utility bills and offer groceries.
Several charitable groups, such as Crisis Control Ministries and Sunnyside Ministries, have found themselves in recent years serving people who once were dependable donors.
Financial reality hits
Counselors with Financial Pathways of the Piedmont said they often have to give clients a dose of financial reality to gird them for the sacrifices necessary to survive months without steady income.
"We haven't slowed down one bit since 2008. In fact, we have picked up in recent months," said Mark Shore, a housing and credit counselor with the Winston-Salem nonprofit group.
"We tell clients they have to have three things to live -- housing, food and utilities. They may insist that clothing and transportation should be in that list, and we can adjust because every case is different."
Financial Pathways helps clients access local and statewide financial assistance groups, such as N.C. Foreclosure Prevention Fund, to secure aid or a loan to keep them in their homes as they look for work.
Shore acknowledges that are some instances when a client exhausts the limit of the aid and still doesn't have a job, potentially compounding their debt problems.
The counselors agree with the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond study that people who lose their job after age 50 are less likely to regain the same pay level.
"Some people were fortunate enough to have set aside money into savings or a 401(k) to help them for a while," said Lisa Engelkins, a Financial Pathways housing and credit counselor.
"But if the job doesn't come quick enough, or if it does but doesn't have the same level of pay, we have to prepare clients that they may have to give up their home, their car and get a less-expensive home, a less-expensive car. We have to help them take the emotion out of those decisions.
"There are people who can make it on $270 or $350 a week, but they typically either owe nothing on their home or car, or have a low mortgage or rent, and they have little or no credit-card debt," Engelkins said.
Shore said companies are capitalizing on the economic downturn by hiring more temporary and part-time workers to drive down wages and reduce or eliminate what they pay in benefits.
"Some employers are very aware how desperately folks need a job and are paying accordingly," he said.
'Reverse Robin Hood'
Sen. Earline Parmon, D-Forsyth, said it is unthinkable for supporters of cutting state jobless benefits, such as state Rep. Julia Howard, R-Davie, to compare unemployment insurance beneficiaries with people dependent on welfare. Howard has referred to the unemployment insurance program as a "welfare-dependent" program for some.
Justice Center officials said in a January report that 54 percent of N.C. unemployment recipients are white, 51 percent are female and 45 percent are 46 years or older.
"My jaw dropped when I first heard those thoughts being expressed," Parmon said. 'You can't compare the two because to qualify for unemployment, you have to meet certain criteria, such as being let go from a job for no cause of your own."
Bill supporters say they are trying to bring the N.C. jobless benefits, which some consider too generous, in line with the maximum paid in eight Southeast states -- Alabama ($265), Florida ($275), Georgia ($330), Kentucky ($415), Mississippi ($235), South Carolina ($326), Tennessee ($275) and Virginia ($378).
George Wentworth, a senior staff attorney with the National Employment Law Project, said bill supporters' "whole notion that North Carolina sticks out in its region -- because it provides unemployment insurance benefits that people can actually live on -- is very troubling public policy."
John Hood, president of the John Locke Foundation, a conservative policy research group, said there is "no question North Carolina needs to bring its jobless benefits in line with other states and with the realities of the job market."
Chris Fitzsimon, director of N.C. Policy Watch, a liberal-leaning think tank, disagrees with the bill, calling it a "reverse Robin Hood."
"Supporters of the proposal to slash worker benefits to repay the state's unemployment debt to the federal government keep saying the package is balanced and requires both workers and employers to sacrifice," Fitzsimon said.
"Seventy-five percent of the debt is repaid through benefit cuts for laid-off workers. Some businesses will actually pay lower taxes in the long run under the plan, not to mention the fact that the debt was created largely because of a series of unemployment tax cuts for businesses in the last 20 years."
Parmon said cutting state jobless benefits "will cause more people to lose their homes, their cars, bring harm to their families. We shouldn't be forcing people to live below middle-class standards that they worked hard to achieve.
"When we as a legislature embrace that mindset, we are taking North Carolina backward in its quality of life.
"How is that going to make North Carolina more attractive to employers?"
