Last season, the Illinois Fighting Illini offense performed much better under the newly adopted system of offensive coordinator Bill Cubit. The Illini threw for over 3,000 yards in 2013 and where led by senior Nathan Scheelhaase. However, Scheelhaase is gone, and the Fighting Illini are looking for a new starter for this upcoming season.
There is a lot of time before game one, but also enough information to make some early projections on the depth chart for the 2014-15 Illini Quarterbacks.
1. Wes Lunt, 6'5″, 215 lbs., Sophomore
Despite having an "open quarterback battle" this offseason, the top spot goes to Wes Lunt. Lunt generated so much hype around the Illinois football community once he decided to transfer to the Orange & Blue, and it is now his time to take the keys to the Illinois offense. There's a pretty good chance he could throw for at least 3,500 yards in the Bill Cubit system.
2. Aaron Bailey, 6'2″, 220 lbs., Sophomore
With Lunt in the #1 spot, what does that mean for the back-up role? That spot goes to Illinois' other sophomore QB Aaron Bailey. Tim Beckman and Bill Cubit decided not to redshirt Bailey in 2013 because Cubit felt as though the newly acquired Illini could help the team win right away. Bailey only attempted five passes last season, but ran the ball for 83 yards on 20 carries. Illini fans can expect to see the same from Aaron Bailey in 2014 as Cubit will most likely use a sprinkling of two quarterbacks.
3. Reilly O'Toole, 6'4″, 220 lbs., Senior
O'Toole has been the "starter in waiting" for Illinois for sometime now. As a sophomore in 2012, O'Toole played quite a bit for the often injured Scheelhaase. However, he only saw the field during five games last season. It's pretty safe to say the Reilly O'Toole might not see the field much in 2014. The only way he will see playing time is via injuries or if Illinois gets up big during some of their non-conference games.
4. Man Berg, 6'2″, 200 lbs., redshirt Freshman
Berg was a walk-on for the Fighting Illini in the summer of 2013 and redshirted all of last season. He came from California and played for the De La Salle Spartans in high school. During his senior season of high school, De La Salle went 15-0 and won the Open Division State Championship. It would be a total shocker to see Berg hit the field for the Illini this upcoming season.
5. Chayce Crouch, 6'4″, 225 lbs., Freshman
Crouch was an early enrollee for Illinois from the 2014 recruiting class. He was a three-star recruit coming out of high school. He threw for over 4,700 yards and 40 touchdowns and rushed for over 1,000 yards and 24 touchdowns while posting a 25-6 career record as a starter at Newark Catholic High School. It wouldn't be surprising to see Crouch redshirt due to the abundance of QBs on the Illini roster. However, Beckman and Cubit haven't been known for redshirting just because a player is a freshman.

LBL Whispering Pines
[ 1/10 ]
Planned on staying. Pulled into entrance and barely made it between two trees on drive. Stopped at office, no one in. There was a bell to ring for service, rang it, waited 10 minutes, no one came. There were no sites visible that a 36' motorhome could park on. Decided to leave, almost scraped sides of motorhome on trees on semicircular drive to get out. Still saw nothing big enough for our motorhome. Would not recommend that big rigs attempt to stay at this park.

[ 6/10 ]
Nice park but waterfront sites are few and taken by 4pm check-in time on Fri. Very tight turn around on 1 loop but were advised not to even go on other loop with 36' motorhome because we would not be able to turn around. No assigned sites, you drive through and find a site you want and then go back to report what site and pay. We had a back-in site that was adequate. Cement picnic tables at each site. Would not recommend this park for large rigs if you are looking for a waterfront site. Most were small sites.
Remington, Indiana
Caboose Lake Campground
[ 2/10 ]
Nice park with laundry facilities that are clean and well kept, however it is immediately next to a major truck route to Chicago and other large cities. The noise from the semi's was so loud it sounded like rolling thunder outside your door day and night. There is also a metal arch to drive under at the entrance that was just wide enough for our motorhome. A wide body model would not fit through. I would give this park a much higher rating if it was not located where it is.
Smithland, Kentucky
Birdsville Resort and Campground
[ 8/10 ]
Nice park with riverfront sites on the Ohio River. We stayed for 1 week. We enjoyed watching the tugs and barges going up and down the river. We had nice weather, but it seemed quite breezy most times. Our site was under a security light so very bright at night. Try to avoid a site under the 2 or 3 lights. Riverfront utilities are side by side connections so you will have a close neighbor.
Tuscumbia, Alabama
Heritage Acres RV Park
[ 6/10 ]
Clean park but all on gravel. We were on a pull through site with plenty of room. Good park to stop at when traveling, but not a destination park.

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
This is a great school. I am a student here and it will be the best memories I will ever have. And it is better than Los colinas because we have a block schedule so it will be less stressful. And the teachers are so helpful when u don't understand something.
We live in another District but had to move my kids due to problems at their school that the Principal could not fix. We found Monte Vista and my kids had a great year. They met some new nice friends and did very well academically. The Principal is great and so are all the staff. The school Counselor is amazing! We are looking forward to another great school year.
My child just finished 8th grade at Monte Vista. He had a great time the three years he was there. We never had any problems with other students and it was easy for me to contact all of the teachers.
Students at this school should be doing better. Are they getting the education they deserve? Similar schools seem to be doing a better job.
hi i go to this school and i like it. some of the teachers are good some are great and some are uh not so great. i rated it 4 but its more like a 3 in a half.
Monte Vista, while not perfect, is an extraordinary school. Almost all of the teachers want to help and guide you to a good future. The programs there are amazing, and some, like the ASB and the Art program, really let the students shine through and show their full potential. I would recommend it to anyone looking for possible options in education.
Monte Vista is a great middle school, with a great staff. I remember my parents wanted to send me to a private school. Without some convincing from friends, I would have probably gone to one, but I'm really happy I didn't. Monte Vista has made me the person who I am today. Parents know that a child's teen years are the most important ones, teens begin to think about what they want to do with their lives, what kind of friends they want to have, and who they really are. They have engaging electives to suit ones interests. Their Principal and especially Vice Principal are extraordinary. The connection between administration and teachers is impeccable. All their teachers are great role models that have an impact on the students' lives. Monte Vista has an exceptional "Renaissance" program, that awards students with academic excellence. The ASB, organizes fantastic activities, dances, and fundraisers. This school also offers extra help for 8th grade students struggling in Algebra. The campus is very beautiful, and has a positive influence on students. This school's vision of students enjoying being together, while preparing themselves for the future is what makes this school great.
i love this school it is so wonderful all the teachers are wonderful wonderful pricipal and assistant principal
I'm a student here, the teachers are so friendly, the lockers aren't super clean and sanitary, but a majority of them are. I love this school and am looking forward to the next school year!
I am a student here and I love it. The teachers are great and they do the best they can to help you achieve your goals. The Electives are great and so is the PE program.
i feel that Monte Vista is a good school with some problems i went there for 6-7th grade and i liked it. some of the kids there arnt the nicest or the smartest but they try. i believe that Monte Vista gets judged a lot because of rumors.
Monte Vista is a dynamic school, responding to the needs of students in new and creative ways.
Monte Vista used to be a great school but it seems as though it is losing direction and momentum. Maybe one day this once wonderful school will regain what has been lost.
Monte Vista is a great middle school.from experience i know this.Most of the kids there a welcoming and great influences, while like all other schools have kids who might be a bad influences.I went to Monte vista in 6th grade and i loved it. and would love to go back
monte vista is a bad school the students that go there are not very acceptable if you dont now my son has friends that smoke and i dont want my child to be hanging around bad influences so i do not recomend monte vista and i believe that mrs.pfeffier is too hard on students that are trying so thank you
Monte Vista is a wonderful school with teacher that care about the success of their student and counselors that help tremendously during events and that help when a student is in need. I highly recommend sending your child here. The kids here are HIGHLY motivated and focused. Last year, we got about 20 new excerise bikes and alot of other equipment for physical education use. You can also use it after school.
I Feel Monte Vista is not a great school. Most of the teachers do not want to go out of their way to help students who really need it. Unless your child is a 4.0 student , they want nothing to do with you. They need to get some new teachers in there that have a new way of teaching that gets kids motivated and stay focused.
I love all the opportunities that MV brings up. I have many new friends and I love the sports and clubs that are here.There are so many different kinds of people here, everywhere I look I see someone I haven't met. All my teachers are so much fun and I have really boosted my grades.
Wonderful principal, some good teachers and some that need to retire; it's never appropriate for teachers to speak disrespectfully to students, and that is a common occurrence at Monte Vista. They need to slow down and realize they should be setting a better example.
Great teachers, staff, and website.

The Pit and the Pendulum. Edgar Allan Poe (1809-1849). First published in 1842 in the literary annual The Gift: A Christmas and New Year's Present for 1843.
The story is about the torments endured by a prisoner of the Spanish Inquisition, though Poe skews historical facts. The narrator of the story describes his experience of being tortured. The story is especially effective at inspiring fear in the reader because of its heavy focus on the senses, such as sound, emphasizing its reality, unlike many of Poe's stories which are aided by the supernatural.
"And then there stole into my fancy, like a rich musical note, the thought of what sweet rest there must be in the grave." - from "The Pit and the Pendulum"

Remember this?
That was the final single to hit the top 10 for Arrested Development from their 1992 debut album, 3 Years, 5 Months & 2 Days in the Life of…
Prior to the release of that single, they were on top of the world. The album's success garnered them a Grammy award for best new artist and best rap performance. They were also named band of the year by Rolling Stone Magazine. They put out 3 singles that hit the top 10 on the Billboard Charts.
Most importantly, they were putting out great music. The album was released in 1992, just a year after Tupac Shakur's debut album, a year after NWA's final album, and the same year as Dr. Dre's The Chronic. In other words, rap was at a very sensitive and scary point in the mainstream.
In some ways, that is how Arrested Development was able to gain notoriety because of that. Still, they certainly didn't always hit on the positive subject matter. In fact, many of Speech's lyrics were about just the contrary, including three of the song's biggest singles.
"The alternative rap thing definitely wasn't our decision," he said. "That was the writers calling us alternative because our message was fresh and different from 90 percent of rappers in the hip hop game. I like to think of us as broadening the definition of hip hop."
They certainly did that with this set of classics. There's no question that the impact of 3 Years, 5 Months & 2 Days in the Life of… was there. They were poised to keep going, and to continue making classics. If alternative rap was a thing, they had pretty-well solidified themselves within the confines of De La Soul and A Tribe Called Quest.
They were making songs that sounded upbeat, but didn't necessarily have upbeat lyrics to go along with it. "Tennessee" is about the death of Speech's grandmother. "Mr. Wendal" is about a homeless guy. "People Everyday" is about getting into a fight while on a date.
"I think that's one of our fortes," Speech explained. "When youl isten to some of the music and really dissect the lyrics, some of it has an undertone of grit to it. It has a happy energy, but at the base of it, there's a real foundation there, a real grit, a real hip hop sensitivity to what we're talking about."
Either way, the concept worked, and it got them into elite company.
It ultimately wasn't because of the album's commercial success. They deserved to keep going because of the album's technical and critical success. It wasn't just a popular album, it was a really, really good album. But even so, strange as it may be, the music business doesn't always cater to talent. It caters to what is hot at the time. For some reason, Arrested Development fell off the charts with their follow-up album, 1994's Zingalamaduni. It was a good album, and did well overseas, but the album flopped in the United States.
The album felt a bit more stripped down than their debut, but it still had the Arrested Development sound that people fell in love with on the first album, and included Speech's unique delivery. A couple years later, the band took a break.
It wasn't until 2000 that another new album would hit, but the break didn't do anything for their commercial success, at least not in the United States. Since 2000, they have continued to tour and make music along the way, compiling an astounding 7 albums as a group (not to mention Speech's solo work). They haven't found the success in the United States that they'd prefer, but they are still selling to huge crowds in other places in the world, particularly Japan.
Fast-forwarding to 2012, the group is still together, and still making music. Their style has developed and progressed in a god way, but you can still tell it's them.
This track got the attention of producer Khao Cates, who is best-known for his work with T.I., Rick Ross and Young Jeezy. Arrested Development, while a hip hop band, is rarely categorized with that group. Because of that, the fit didn't seem like something that would be there, until Cates heard Speech's changed-up rhyming style.
"I'm sitting there, listening to 'Living', any I'm like, 'who is that rapping on the track?','" Cates said. "After that I called Speech up and told him 'man, we should work on something together'."
They did, and they still are.
"We wanted a big sound," Cates said. "But we still needed something that takes it to another level with the new age/urban twist, all while still being Arrested Development."
The song "Living" proved they could still sound like their old selves with a bigger sound, but Cates wanted to take it to another level. Their newest music video for the song, "Out to the World" is as good an example as any. Not only does their new music sound bigger than their music from the 90s (or even 2012's Standing at the Crossroads, which was amazingly recorded on a laptop), their message sounds just as big.
What's tougher: making a smash hit record, or staying together after the hometown success falls to the wayside? For Arrested Development, it has to be the former, because they're having the time of their lives, and have (more or less) managed to stay a full group for over twenty years.
"It really is a family environment. We have a lot of fun, we make jokes," said Tasha Larae. " We have very different viewpoints on life, religion, politics, and all that in general, but the fact that we respect each other enough to hear what the other has to say helps a lot."
No matter the reason, the group continues to not only work together, but to make good music together, and do it in a collective family environment.
No, they haven't seen the success they saw with their debut album. Not in the United States, anyway. Despite their successes in Australia, Japan, Canada, and parts of Europe, they're still working on gaining back the popularity of their home turf. Although, that's not to say that popularity is their prime objective, it's clearly the music and the method that comes along with it.
"We don't want to be looked at as just 90s," Speech said. "We're still here, and wanting to make people think of us as relevant. There's so many places where we go where the stuff is celebrated. We'd love it if people here at home celebrated it too."
Whether Americans take notice of their new content or not, their first album will always be celebrated. Those lucky enough to encounter their less-heard follow-ups should have reason to celebrate once they listen.

Funk legend Sly Stone now homeless and living out of a van in LA ›
Just four years ago, he resided in a Napa Valley house so large it could only be described as a "compound," with a vineyard out back and multiple cars in the driveway.
But those days are gone.
Today, Sly Stone — one of the greatest figures in soul-music history — is homeless, his fortune stolen by a lethal combination of excess, substance abuse and financial mismanagement. He lays his head inside a white camper van ironically stamped with the words "Pleasure Way" on the side. The van is parked on a residential street in Crenshaw, the rough Los Angeles neighborhood where "Boyz n the Hood" was set. A retired couple makes sure he eats once a day, and Stone showers at their house. The couple's son serves as his assistant and driver.

Don't get me wrong. I'm absolutely NOT happy that many people in Montreal will lose their jobs. I don't even hate Funcom. In fact I don't really have an opinion on their games. But the recent news won't help to change in any way my opinion on how my tax money is blindly spent on game […]

Rugby Theatre
823 Utica Avenue,
2 people favorited this theater
Showing 1 - 25 of 42 comments
If anyone has any stories about going to/ working at this threatre in its adult days, I would love to hear them. I am chronicling the histories of adult theatres in the US. Please contact me at Thanks!
Hey PragmaticGuy,
That'sfunny because I remember seeing that horrendous Sgt. Pepper movie at the Rugby, the one with the BeeGees in it!
I just found this site. I worked at the Rugby from 1970-1974. The pizza place next door was Little Venice and had incredible pizza. There was a deli across the street – I believe it as called Victors. I worked there before and after the conversion to a twin theater. The was a bowling alley next to Little Venice..
I used to go to the Rugby back in 60s and 70s. Saw Hard Days Night and Help there and I remember my folks taking me to see numerous movies there when I was a kid. By the 70s it was showing XXX rated films there and I do remember seeing a few at that time.
PaulKupperberg-Max Schering owned the Oceana, Granada and Rugby. Golden Theatre Management first took over the managment of the theatres with Max remaining as a partner until Golden bought him out around 1975. About 1976 he was going to manage the newly tripled Fortway Theatre for Golden, but after a short time he decided to retire and moved to Florida. I installed the projection equipment when the Rugby, Beverly, Oceana, Fortway, Benson and Alpine in Brooklyn and the Olympia and Quad Cinema in Manhattan were multiplexed, as well as servicing and repairing them from 1972 until 1987. In 1988, Golden Theatre Management sold the theatres that were still operating to Cineplex Odeon Theatres.
The Rugby most DEFINITELY ran XXX movies. I worked at the Granada a couple of miles up Church Avenue, run by the same owner from 1973 to about 1975 or 1976 (Max Schiering, or Schering). After the theater was twinned, it became a porn house, at least for a while. I spent a lot of time around Church and Utica Avenues and remember it well; there were several candy stores and newsstands my friends and I frequented weekly for the new comic books, and my grandmother (a former movie theater cashier) lived around the corner of Linden Avenue…plus the aforementioned pizza place next door!

Unless I'm mistaken, the vertical sign and stage housing of the Rugby Theatre can be seen in the left background of this 1940 view of trolley cars on Utica Avenue:
Here is a reminiscence of the Rugby:
photo of rugby theatre and surrounding neighbrohood on the following website:
I knew I had passed it many years ago and I guess it's being close to the Rugby made me remember it as that. Great detective work :)
Warren, RobertR, Lost and BklynJim… Check out the page for the Carroll Theater in Brooklyn and ALSO on Utica Avenue. It seems that KenRoe has solved our mystery marquee riddle via a new post of some recent photos he took of the former Carroll (now a church) just this past May. I think we have a definite match.
RobertR… you missed the mark on the theater, but not by much… same street, just a few blocks to the north on the corner of Crown Street!
Warren… the shot of the fire escapes is of the Mt. Morris Theater in Harlem on 116th Street and 5th Ave. I posted the image on the CT page for that theater.
Nice discovery there, Lost, with that building on E. 53rd St. Sure looks like it could be a theater building. The only odd thing is that, assuming that any theater in this building ran straight back and perpendicular to 53rd Street, the screen wall would have been at the rear of the property, which is where the fire escapes are located. I looked it up on oasisnyc.net and the address is 289 E. 53rd. It is listed as a place of assembly and might be home to a Jewish congregation. The only listing I could come up with for that address is for a senior citizens nutrition club. The NYC building records I have access to seem to have some erroneous certificates of occupancy in this property's bin. Lost, can you access better records?
One more note… if you look at the aerial view of the theater (particularly if you swing it around to a view to the north) you can see an indication of the old roof garden. At the northern end of the building is a projection that looks from profile like a really skinny stage loft (but far too skinny to be such). With that southern view you can see that the structure is a hollowed out sort of alcove facing the rest of the roof… perhaps where a small stage or screen might have been installed?
That same group of Matt Weber photos at his website shows a side of a theatre with fire escapes and a Breyer's ice cream ad on the wall. Is that the same theatre as the possible Rugby?
It is possible that the former entrance to the theater was at the far left end of the building through that part of the facade that is only one story and has no windows above. If so, it might be possible to inspect the facade in person and determine that under all that white paint there exists some detail (the vertical columns, for instance, if not the medallions) that might help confirm that the Matt Weber images I posted are in fact of the Rugby.
OK… I stand corrected. I've turned the aerial image around to face in the opposite direction (East) and I find that the large white building is infact the former Rugby. As Warren indicated on the Cumberland Theater page, the theater is now occupied by "Bobby's Department Store", which seems to be how the signage indicates above the red awning on the white building. The former Woolworth's storefront I was using to get my bearings (from Peter K's vintage photo) has been altered beyond all recognition… it is the facade several doors to the right of the theater building with the alternating black and white vertical stripes:
Apologies. Still – back to the matter at hand – the current facade doesn't resemble anything shown in the marquee photos I posted, so the mystery continues until someone can confirm or rebuke Robert R's suspicions that they show the old Rugby.
I made that same observation to myself when looking at those views, Warren… but if you use Peter K's transit photo as a guide, I think there is no mistaking that the tan building is on the same side of the street as the Rugby. Compare the roofline of the Woolworth's in the transit image with that of the building in the aerial shot just to the left of the car lot and gas station. The trolley in the older image really obsucres the view of the theater's building, so it's impossible to really pinpoint where the structure stood. Perhaps the building was demolished and replaced? It sure is hard to imagine reconcile the structure indicated in the aerial view with that of a theater with balcony.
Perhaps someone who lives nearby can do some reconnaissance on the block?
I always have problems navigating through these aerial views, but that tan-colored building doesn't look like a former theatre to me. It looks to me like two stores that were later combined. However, there are two buildings across the street which look like they might have once been theatres. One even seems to have a fire escape at the rear.
For good measure… here is a local.live.com aerial view of the Rugby's stretch of Utica Avenue:
You might have to zoom in (see the small building and large building icons on the tool palette to the left of the image)… but I believe the former Rugby is the sort of tan colored building with vertical bands (which look like they might match the vertical brick columns glimpsed in the "Always Air Conditioned" photo I posted above. Those round medallions are nowhere to be found, but they could have been removed since the building was adapted for re-use. Someone posted the building now houses retail space, but the entrance and signage almost looks to me to be indicative of a church conversion. If you count 5 building lots over (next to the pair of 2 story residential buildings) you'll see the low rising retail building that was the Woolworth's depicted in the vintage transit photo posted by Peter K on April 11, 2004.

I have a pair of images taken by professional photographer Matt Weber featuring a theater in Brooklyn that at least one CT member has identified as the Rugby. Here are the photos:
Always Air Conditioned
The Best in Entertainment
Can anyone on this page confirm that these are photos of the Rugby's marquee? They were taken sometime in the late 1980's and Matt does not recall exactly which theater he photographed, but does recall it was "deep in Brooklyn".
Matt has a number of great photos of NYC street scenes at his website www.urbanphotos.com

The Corporate Media Are Wrong: A Blow Out Win for Obama Is Possible
Stay up to date with the latest headlines via email.
I don't like to mince words. Mitt Romney is getting slapped around worse than Cory Booker after a Meet the Press appearance. There are redheaded stepchildren and rented mules who are having an easier time of it than the Mittster. In Nate Silver's model, if the election were held today, Romney would have a 2.2% chance of winning. His chances on November 6th are down to 18.1%, and they are only that high because Silver is still assuming a bit of a convention bounce and some economic headwinds that will keep Obama's numbers down. In any case, things are bad enough that Silver decided to try to figure out if Obama could possibly do as well or better in November as he did in 2008. Things are bad enough that Chris Cillizza decided to tell us all that they won't get much worse. Mr. Cillizza assures us that Mitt Romney won't get blown out, and Mr. Silver basically agrees, although he allows that it's at least as likely as Romney coming back to win.
Let's start with Cillizza's argument. He says that 2008 was a historically good year for the Democrats, which is true. It's always hard to break your own record for excellence. Cillizza also says this:
"Not only did then-candidate Obama galvanize a national movement behind his campaign, he also benefited from the fact that opponent Sen. John McCain could never get out from under George W. Bush's shadow or convince the American public that he was well-versed on the economy."
Obama's national movement still exists. He's going to shatter his record for attracting small donor donations, and his sixty-plus field offices in Iowa just started taking people to the polls today. As for John McCain, he was a flawed candidate, but he was revered by tens of millions of Americans, including the vast majority of the press corp. He served his country and he paid a very high personal price, and that counts for something. Mitt Romney appeals to no one. There are no people who revere him. There are no people who think he's paid his dues. If John McCain had a rematch and took more care with selecting his running mate, he'd do a lot better than Mitt Romney is going to do because he is a much better politician with a lot more innate appeal than Mitt Romney. Which is why Cillizza's next point is overstated.
...the spending edge that Obama had over McCain not only won't be replicated but should be reversed. Romney and the Republican party have $40 million more to spend than Obama and the Democratic party in the final weeks of the campaign — a not-insignificant sum split over just six weeks. And that doesn't include outside groups, where Republicans continue to dominate.
I don't think Cillizza's numbers are right. It's Obama who has $40 million more than Romney. The problem is that the RNC has almost $70 million more than the DNC.
President Obama ended August with nearly $40 million more cash in the bank than Republican challenger Mitt Romney, campaign financial reports indicated...
FEC filings indicate the RNC ended August with $76.6 million cash on hand to the DNC's $7.1 million.
Obama and the DNC together started September with $95.9 million, The Hill said. The Romney campaign and the RNC had $112 million available.
That's not chump change, but a $16 million differential isn't too big of a deal when you spread it out across the whole battleground. It's the outside money that is worrisome. But the outside money can't do anything other than advertisements and mailers. The main thing that this money parity is doing is preventing Obama from trying to organize new states like Missouri and Arizona. So, in that sense, it is narrowing the president's potential upside. But I can guarantee you that Obama would be expanding the map if he had the same money advantage he enjoyed four years ago.

Though the official gallery opening for one of the funniest cartoonists of the last 40 years is on the 30th of August, you wont want to miss the evening reception with M.K. Brown herself, as she gives guided tours through her own exhibition at San Francisco's Cartoon Art Museum. This once in a lifetime reception runs from 4-6 pm, and is completely FREE and open to the public.
Brown's cartooning style combines oddball surrealism, with everyday frustrations and obervances to give her audiences a full body laughing experience; relevant to all generations and moments in time. She's a one-of-a-kind cartoonist, and this exhibit and retrospective is the perfect way to take it all in. Of course if you can't make it to San Fran, do yourself a favor and pick up the first comprehensive look at her career, collected in M.K. Brown Stranger than Life: Cartoons and Comics 1970-2013.
The exhibit runs from August 30, 2014 - February 15, 2015

Is your mind's eye open? Can it possibly hold all of the beauty in the world? If not, then Jim Woodring's new book JIM is the collection of comics to prepare you. Built on foundation of hallucinations and nightmares, Jim is Woodring's alter-ego and allows him the creative freedom live in alternate dimensions and answer the question "What If" in a language he didn't even know existed.
Joe Garvin of News from Mill Creek and the University Bookstore recently reviewed Jim, "Anthropomorphic creatures resembling frogs and elephants occupy strange but uncannily familiar landscapes; beings traverse realms and undergo spontaneous transformations. Nevertheless, all seems to belong to a private and coherent symbolic language. This is the wondrous and unique sensation of reading Woodring's most personal work-the artist delving deeply into his imaginative consciousness, and creating artful transmissions back from his world."
Jim Woodring, the cartoonist, will be discuss and sign his book at the free event at the University Bookstore on Thursday, September 4th at 7pm. (4326 University Way NE, Seattle w 98105). The book is available for purchase in-store, by phone at (206) 634-3400, or at ubookstore.com, on the date of the event.
This weekend, Eleanor Davis and Ed Piskor are going to rock Georgia's lit festival in Decatur. Free to the public on Saturday, August 30th and Sunday, August 31st, the Decatur Book Festival is all over downtown Decatur.
Eleanor is giving a presentation along with Liz Prince and moderator Kerry Leibling at the "How to Be Graphic" panel on Saturday, August 30th. A little less salty than it sounds, be at the Marriott Conference Center Ballroom A promptly at 1:45pm! (130 Clairemont Ave, Decatur, GA 30030) A book signing to follow.
Meanwhile, on Sunday Ed Piskor has the Hip Hop Family Tree Vol. 2 - Book Launch at 5pm. Along with moderator Edward A. Hall, Piskor will talk about the jump hip-hop has made from legends to comic book panels. Join him at Marriott Conference Center Ballroom. (130 Clairemont Ave, Decatur, GA 30030)A book signing to follow.
So we'll see you, DECATUR, this weekend!
Tuesday, September 9
Attention internet! The boom bap is back in the freshest new release, Hip Hop Family Tree Vol. 2 and cartoonist/hip-hop historian, Ed Piskor is taking to Reddit for an Ask Me Anything (AMA) session. He'll answer all your burning questions about love, life, favorite colors, and probably his extensive resume of comics including the HHFT series, Wizzywig, and collaborations with famed writer, Harvey Pekar.
The session begins at 2 PM EST right here on Reddit!
Saturday, August 30
Boy oh boy, have we got a treat for you. As a part of the Everything Is Festival series, put on by the amazing Cine Family, you can not only screen the animated version of the first Prison Pit book, you can hear a bunch of funny people talk about how amazing it is afterwards! Of course the indescribable author of Prison Pit, Johnny Ryan, will be there, but joining him on the panel will be comedians, Rick Shapiro and Blake Anderson. You may remember the brilliant Shapiro for his reoccuring portrayal of "the angry poet" on Conan O'Brien, and Anderson from the all-star show, Workaholics (and for having fabulous hair).
The screening begins at 2:45 pm, and these gentelmen and scholars will all be there to help guide you through the supremely wicked and grotesque battlefield on the prison pit universe of hyperviolence and hyperhilarity. If your favorite W.W.E. personas came to life and unleashed the worst horrors on each other, you'll be barely scratching the surface of how amazing Prison Pit, and its DVD companion are.
Both both were a huge hit at this years San Diego Comic-con, and now you can check out why the f@$k everyone is talking about the best thing since slorge-arms.
Get your tickets here!

Hometown hero, Ed Piskor, is coming back atcha with the release of Hip Hop Family Tree Vol. 2 at 7pm on Saturday, September 23rd. At this release party at Copacetic Comics, you may need to bring the bucks but never the beats.
Book 2 covers the early years of 1981-1983, when Hip Hop has made a big transition from the parks and rec rooms to downtown clubs and vinyl records. As meticulously documented in Piskor's panels, the performers make moves to separate themselves from the paying customers by dressing more and more flamboyantly until a young group called RUN-DMC comes on the scene to take things back to the streets. So party people gather 'round and count down to this sweet release party this Saturday!
SUNDAY, August 17th at 7pm, you can find Piskor at Bergen Street Comics in conversation with rapper Reggie Ossé (also known to many of you as Combat Jack)! Can't imagine how cool that would be? Well check out this video from the Chicago Ideas conference as a little pre-game action.
At both signings, Ed's pal and stellar cartoonist Tom Scioli will also be present signing copies of IDW's Transformers VS G.I. Joe.

The firms behind the projects honored in the ninth annual awards program leveraged building information modeling beyond design and documentation to actually model building information.
Designed by KieranTimberlake, the app allows architects to calculate the environmental impact of building components throughout the design process.
Building Information Modeling has to keep up if it's going to remain on top.
Two engineers discuss the benefits of using BIM to project and modify sustainable initiatives and building operations.
Building information modeling software has the power to expand architects' capabilities to design, detail, and deliver high-performance homes.
From a thermal-imaging cell phone case to an app that brings LCAs into Revit models, these technologies aim to hone your projects' green edge and improve your team's efficiency.
The use of Building Information Modeling software is on the rise as an essential environmental design tool.
BIM processes allow facility managers to consistently collect and manage information and potentially decrease construction time and costs

I'm taking the liberty of appending this note because, though Du Boff and Herman's article is directed mainly at Bill Tabb, it refers to some of the things I've written about globalization.…Recently, I got a letter from Bill Doyle, who wrote, "After reading Ed Herman's comments in Z (magazine), I re-read your article and couldn't see why Ed was so exercised. I'd be interested to know if you see a substantial difference between the two of you, and, if so, what it is." Here, with some minor changes and additions, is what I wrote back.… | more |
October 1997 (Volume 49, Number 5)
We are writing at the end of August. The two main events of the summer have been (1) the apparent ending of the long stock-market boom of the last few years, and (2) the successful strike of the teamsters against UPS. Neither can be said to have been anticipated and together they point to the emergence of new trends in the period ahead.… | more |
Global neoliberalism parades victoriously through our era, monopolizing its discourse and ideology. To confront the inherent perversity of the capitalist system's universal domination we need, more than ever, alternative modes of thinking and acting that are universal, global, planetary. We need ideas and models that, in a thoroughly radical fashion, confront the worship of the market and of money which has become the dominant credo of the moment. As is the case with very few other leftist leaders of the twentieth century, the legacy of Ernesto 'Che' Guevara—universal spirit, internationalist and consistent revolutionary—continues to mount such a challenge.… | more |
September 1997 (Volume 49, Number 4)
In its most recent issue (July 17th) Doug Henwood's excellent Left Business Observer, now in its seventh year of publication, highlights what may come to be seen as an important turning point in current economic history. The gist of it is that Alan Greenspan and his supporters at the Federal Reserve have come to the conclusion that inflation is no longer a serious problem and the real threat today is deflation. "For all the bad press that inflation gets, deflation is generally far worse for all but the richest and best-positioned.…Greenspan and Co. might not fear an exact replay of the 1929-32 collapse, but clearly that's the 'it' that central bankers don't want ever to happen again" (to paraphrase the title of Hyman Minsky's classic book Can 'It' Happen Again?).… | more |
More (or Less) on Globalization
Much has been written about "globalization" in the last few years. It is not my intention to add to this literature but only to put the topic into the context of my own understanding of the history of capitalism.…Globalization is not a condition or a phenomenon: it is a process that has been going on for a long time, in fact ever since capitalism came into the world as a viable form of society four or five centuries ago; (dating the birth of capitalism is an interesting problem but not relevant for present purposes). What is relevant and important, is to understand that capitalism is in its innermost essence an expanding system both internally and externally. Once rooted, it both grows and spreads. The classic analysis of this double movement is of course Marx's Capital.… | more |
Between Nuremberg and Amnesia: The Truth and Reconciliation Commission in South Africa
The conscious crafting of an honest history by a state commission is a rare enough event to justify our calling your attention to South Africa's Truth and Reconciliation Commission. But this writing of history is incomplete, in the same degree as the process of change in South Africa. Certain brute facts are ignored and avoided, and this avoidance was the condition of the bargain accepted by the ANC. As per South Africa's Freedom Charter, now it can in some meaningful sense be said that "South Africa belongs to all who live in it, black and white." But what belongs to whom is the question left unaddressed as the very condition of the transition negotiations, transferring its tension into all aspects of that transition, not least any permitted debate over present remedies for a history of injustice.… | more |
July-August 1997 (Volume 49, Number 3)
As of early summer the economic outlook for the rest of 1997, as portrayed in the major media, could hardly be brighter. "Strong growth with little unemployment and low inflation doesn't have to peter out….Could it possibly get any better than this?" exults Business Week (January).…Up to a point this is clearly a case of déjà vu all over again. A "new era" was widely and enthusiastically proclaimed by professors, pundits, and plain people as the stock market boom of the 1920s neared its peak. A few months later the market collapsed, and the greatest depression in U.S. history began. The big question now is whether the rest of the scenario of the 1920s and the 1930s is likely to repeat itself. The answer of the media and Wall Street and probably of plenty of plain people too is a resounding NO.… | more |
Labor, the State, and Class Struggle
After a long period of sustained attack by governments of various stripes, a steady deterioration of working and living standards, and declines in membership and militancy, there are encouraging signs that organized labor is moving again. This may come as a surprise to many, not least on the left, who have long since written off the labor movement as an oppositional force; and it may begin to challenge some of the most widespread assumptions about the nature and direction of contemporary capitalism, assumptions often shared by activists and intellectuals on the left as well as the right.…Although it is, of course, too early to make big claims about this trend, it does seem to be a good moment to take a close look not only at these new signs of activism but also at the nature of labor today and at the environment in which the labor movement now has to navigate.… | more |
June 1997 (Volume 49, Number 2)
It is encouraging to find that in the face of constantly changing trends within academia, there was such a strong turnout for the 1997 Socialist Scholars Conference—on a rainy Easter weekend (March 28-30) over 1,700 people came out in full force. There was a feeling of excitement in the halls and class rooms of the Borough of Manhattan Community College that may just signify both a return to Marxist politics and a revitalization of the U.S. labor movement. The opening plenary speeches were full of hope and enthusiasm: from Daniel Singer who pointed out that "the ideological swing to the right has probably come to an end…cracks are beginning to appear in the ruling ideology and popular resistance is growing" to Bob Wages, president of the Oil, Chemical, and Atomic Workers Union, who emphasized the importance of class politics that challenges, rather than accepts the Democratic party.… | more |
Let me start with a provocative claim, which is contrary to all the conventional wisdom. The claim I want to make is that this historical moment, the one we're living in now, is the best not the worst, the most not the least appropriate moment to bring back Marx. I'll even claim that this is the moment when Marx should and can come fully into his own for the first time—not excluding the historical moment when he actually lived.… | more |
Globalization Is An Issue, The Power of Capital Is The Issue
There is a great deal of difference however between the strong version of the globalization thesis which requires a new view of the international economy as one that "subsumes and subordinates national-level processes," and a more nuanced view which gives a major role to national-level policies and actors, and the central position not to inexorable economic forces but to politics. In the second perspective, current changes are considered in a longer historical perspective and are seen as distinct but not unprecedented, and as not necessarily involving either the emergence of, or movement toward, a type of economic system which is basically different from what we have known.…It is important to see that the first version of the globalization thesis is based on a myth, has profound political implications which are defeatist, and is not based on a sound analysis of what is a more complex and contestable set of processes.… | more |
May 1997 (Volume 49, Number 1)
In this space in last summer's double issue of MR, we directed attention to the work of a worldwatch Institute in Washington, D.C., especially its annual State of the World, the first issue of which was published in 1984. The latest (1997) of these reports came out in February. By now this series is being translated into all the world's major languages and constitutes what is probably the most comprehensive and available source of information on the global environment.… | more |
In the late l930's I sat in on a course of education for trade unionists. That these workers had a desire to learn was evident by their enrollment in a class held in the evenings, after they had done a day's work. That the teacher knew his subject was manifest from the brilliance of his lecture. That the combination of students' desire and teacher's grasp of the material did not result in learning was obvious from the fact that before the hour was over, several members of the class were asleep; it was apparent, too, from the decline in enrollment—the next class was attended by only half the students, and the third time the class met, less than a quarter who had signed up were in attendance.… | more |
The fall of the Soviet empire was greeted not only as the funeral of socialism. It was also described as marking the final dead end for all revolutionary roads. The practitioners of revolution—Robespierre and Cromwell—as well as its theoreticians—Luxemburg and Marx—were lumped together in retrospective condemnation. Logically, such an offensive against the very idea of radical transformation should have been coupled with praise for gradualism, for Fabian tactics, for progressive change. To use two cliches at once, the "col- lapse of communism" could have been combined with the "triumph of social democracy." Actually, nothing of the kind happened. On the contrary, the disintegration of the neo-stalinist system has been followed by a major crisis of social-democracy, taken here in its very narrow current definition-the reformist management of capitalist society.… | more |
November 1996 (Volume 48, Number 6)
The September 30th issue of the New Yorker carried profiles of two long-time contributors to Monthly Review—lyricist E. Y. Harburg and lawyer Michael Tigar—evoking considerable pride among MR staffers. "Yip" Harburg, who died in 1986, wrote more than one hundred songs including "Over The Rainbow," and "Brother, Can You Spare a Dime." Writer John Lahr notes that throughout his long career on Broadway and in Hollywood all of his work evinced powerful social concerns and themes of freedom. Yip, of course, was a socialist of the MR variety. He valued the analysis and insight of this publication, as the verse printed on page 63.… | more |
Reflections on the Recent Work of Sheila Rowbotham
Women's Movements and Building Bridges
Sheila Rowbotham is an active British socialist feminist as well as a political-historical writer. Growing up intellectually and politically in the Marxist tradition as shaped by Edward and Dorothy Thompson, growing and changing in struggles lost and won, Rowbotham continues to base her analyses in history. Her personal history and memory contribute significant details to the political analyses she offers, especially of grassroots movements. Rowbotham lives the life of a politically committed activist and an historical reporter, while a single mother actively engaged in her community. She has written fifteen books, innumerable articles, introductions, essays, poems, films, record jackets, reports, reviews and interviews.… | more |
Among the questions that divide my friends is whether it is possible that widespread revolutionary organization may someday occur even in the United States, the Belly of the Beast as goes a phrase all my fellow 68ers will recall. If you think the question deserves to be asked, then the history of the repression of the U.S. Left after the Second World War (and of what survived the storm) is worth your attention. After all, if this history is forgotten then the question is indeed not worth asking. How the ruling class of the United States manages its domestic repression is, in any event, of general relevance in many other places as well. Victor Rabinowitz at age eighty five offers a sharp, fascinating, and superbly written report on this question from inside that structured but flexible Great Intestine of the United States, its legal system.… | more |
Walter Reuther, "Social Unionist"
A New York Times obituary for Sophie Reuther on February 23, 1996, declared her husband, Victor, a co-founder of the United Auto Workers. So now the myth that Walter Reuther founded the UAW is extended to include his brother. Unfortunately, the new biography of Walter Reuther by Nelson Lichtenstein will do very little to squelch the myth; this despite the fact that the book documents Reuther's career, warts and all.… | more |
Homage to Pasolini on the Twentieth Anniversary of His Murder
Pier Paolo Pasolini, born in Bologna on March 5, 1922, and raised in the Friuli region of Venetia, is, in the words of Alberto Moravia, the major Italian poet of the second half of the twentieth century. He was also a filmmaker, novelist, and political journalist of genius. He was murdered twenty years ago, on November 2, 1975.… | more |
In 1902, the Rationalist Press Association issued a pamphlet entitled A New Catechism. Like the classic Roman Catholic statement of belief on which it was modeled, the document comprised a long list of questions and answers. However, the faith which it rehearsed was not belief in Christianity, but rather belief in secular human reason. The pamphlet opened with a stirring dedication:
We baptize the twentieth century—in the name of Peace, Liberty, and Progress! We christen her—the People's Century. We ask of the new century a Religion without superstition; Politics without war; Science and the arts without materialism; and wealth without misery or wrong!… | more |
