I'm not that active here as I wish I were... and it will continue like that for some time now.
My lovely fiancée gave birth to our second child on April the 23rd, and its a bit to much to do then to get out and shoot, or to go in to the dark room at the moment.
Trying to get a movie made, but its time consuming, and cost a lot of money, but I'm hoping that it will get in production later this summer. Bin working on it for a year now.
Other then that, I'm unemployed at the moment, looking for job (so that I have less time to do what I want)

Department of Ecology News Release - October 16, 2012
OLYMPIA – The Washington Department of Ecology (Ecology) will convene its first Water Quality Standards Policy Forum from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday, Oct. 29, 2012, as a video conference at Ecology regional offices in Bellevue, Lacey, Spokane and Yakima.
The forum will be a facilitated public policy discussion and is open to the public. There will be designated times when interested public members can provide comments and ask questions on issues being discussed.
Ecology's goal is to involve key parties, other interests and the public as the department addresses complex science and public policy issues around adopting new human health-based water quality standards and implementation tools.
The forum is centered on a core group – called the delegate's table – which Ecology has convened to help work through key policy issues. The delegate's table consists of individuals representing the interests of their respective communities. Members will provide advice and perspective to the agency as it addresses the complex science and public policy issues of the rulemaking.
All interested persons are welcome to join the forum and are encouraged to listen to the delegate's table discussions.
Ecology anticipates that the public process will include discussions of a broad array of issues, including what chemicals to address, new chemical toxicity factors, regional information on fish consumption, levels of acceptable risk, and implementation.
Join the videoconference at the following Ecology office locations:
In September, Ecology began formal rule-making activities to adopt new human health-based water quality standards for toxics. The new standards will include updating assumptions about how much fish Washingtonians eat.
The state's water quality standards are important because they guide how the state regulates water pollution. The human health-based standards are particularly important because their goal is to keep Washington's fish and shellfish the cleanest in the nation and protect people who eat them.
Read more about the policy forum and see the meeting agenda online.
Read more about current surface water quality standards rule-makings online.
If you have questions, contact Becca Conklin, Ecology water quality standards coordinator, 360-407-6413, email@example.com.
Media contact: Sandy Howard, 360-407-6408 (desk); 360-791-3177 (cellular); email@example.com

Washington moves forward to adopt new water quality standards for toxics (www.ecy.wa.gov/news/2012/314.html)

The new home of
Blue flag beaches, old forts, hidden coves and Hollywood film locations comprise County Wexford in the sunny southeast of Ireland. And for a great selection of self catering accommodation in the region please see our cottages in County Wexford.
Popularly referred to as the sunny southeast of Ireland due to the above average number of sunshine days each year when compared with other parts of the country, County Wexford is also a region of great beauty. The relatively mild climate, picturesque views and overall sense of tranquillity make this coastal district in the province of Leinster an enchanting holiday destination.
The Blacklion and Wicklow Mountains lie on its borders and there are miles of pristine coastline and Blue Flag beaches to enjoy. It was on the stretch of coastline north of Wexford town where Stephen Spielberg filmed the beach landing in the film 'Saving Private Ryan'.
The Edenvale River and Forest Walk takes you on a gentle stroll by the river, through woods and past a waterfall. The striking volcanic outcrop of Carrickbyrne Hill offers five kilometres of coniferous forest trail. Along the coast there are beaches and secluded coves aplenty, dotted with timeless seaside villages. Birdwatchers will love the Wexford Wildlife Reserve, the closest point for birds migrating from the UK and the continent.
At the tip of the Hook Peninsula is the Hook Head Lighthouse, a 13th century construction built by the Earl of Pembroke, which offers magnificent views of the landscape and sea. From the balcony here, seals, dolphins and even whales can be seen. It's also a place of hidden coves and old forts.
For some historical and cultural insight visit the 13th century Ferns Castle and Medieval Village, once the stronghold of the powerful kings of Leinster. The Irish National Heritage Park is a living museum tracing some 9,000 years of history over 35 acres where you can easily imagine stepping back into the distant past.
Johnstown Castle is a 12th century architectural gem with wonderful woodlands and gardens to wander. Nearby is the Irish Agricultural Museum. Housed in former farm buildings, this imaginatively laid out museum features such as traditional crafts, Irish country furniture and the story of the Great Famine.
The town of Wexford itself, after which the county is named, is certainly worth a visit, especially as it is the location of Ireland''s first purpose built opera house. Many kinds of shows and performances can be enjoyed here, and the behind the scenes tour is well worth taking. The local racecourse features both National Hunt and flat racing.
take a look at our collection of holiday cottages in County Wexford. What could be more relaxing than a charming cottage amid this soothing, gentle green landscape?

The siblings, who were confirmed in Great Britain's Olympic team just a few hours before the race, worked together in the bike and run and crossed the line together too.
It's Jonathan's third successive victory - after wins in World Championship Series races in San Diego and Madrid - while just coming through the race meant more to Alistair, who has spent the season watching his brother's impressive performances while recovering from an Achilles tear.
"It's good to be back racing," said Alistair, who will test his injury further in his first World Triathlon Series race of the season in Kitzbuhel in two weeks' time.
"When you've had an injury you're never quite sure how it's going to respond.
"You can train on it but racing is different. It's nice to come and do a race and it be all right."

Close Tweet0 Share0 Comment0 Share0 Share0 Stumble It0 Print0 More Campus Union Tragedy strikes Auburn by hollyandersonsi Email Posted: Mon Jun. 11, 2012 Police are investigating the University Heights shooting, which left three dead and three wounded. (Landov)Two former Auburn football players, offensive lineman Ed Christian and running back Ladarious Phillips, were killed Saturday night at an off-campus pool party, victims of a mass shooting following a reported argument over a woman. Both were 20 years old. AU offensive lineman Eric Mack sustained a non-life-threatening gunshot wound.In a Sunday afternoon press conference, Auburn police chief Tommy Dawson stated that any association between the shooting and the football program was entirely coincidental: "The only connection that the Auburn football team has to this is they are victims of a brutal shooting."Suspected shooter Desmonte Leonard of Montgomery has not been located by the police at the time of this writing. The FBI and U.S. Marshals are offering a combined $15,000 in rewards for information leading to Leonard's capture and conviction.Mack has been released from the hospital following treatment for his injury and is expected to make a complete recovery. He told the Orangeburg SC Times and Democrat he wasn't even aware he'd been wounded at first:"I just wanted to make sure everybody was safe," Mack recalled in a phone interview late Sunday night from Auburn, Ala. "I wasn't even worried about myself. When I first found out I got shot, I didn't even really realize it. I was still walking around checking on my teammates making sure they were all right."Coach Gene Chizik released the following statement Sunday afternoon: "This is a sad, sad day for everyone associated with the entire Auburn family. I am devastated by the passing of three young men, including two that I personally knew in Ed Christian and LaDarius Phillips and my heart goes out to their families. My thoughts and prayers are with their families and all of the victims involved in this tragic incident. Nobody should ever have to endure such unimaginable grief, and we will love and support the victims' families during this terribly difficult time. We have a lot of people on our football team that are hurting right now and we're going to do everything we can to help them get through this. We are relieved that Eric Mack, who was also a victim in this incident, is expected to make a full recovery. This is a very trying time for everyone involved, and I would just ask that you lift up the victims and their families in your prayers." We don't live far from Auburn, and we know life there ambles by at a relaxed pace, especially at this time of year, with the school's population depleted for the break. In speaking with friends and neighbors who are Auburn alumni, not one failed to mention fond memories of stepping out for a summer evening, leaving doors unlocked without a second thought. That "wrong place, wrong time" can encompass a private swimming pool in a college town on a Saturday night is monstrously unfair. Our heartfelt condolences to the families of Phillips and Christian, and our sincere best wishes to Mack for a complete and rapid recovery. More Campus Union

My mom and I were looking for a pub near our rented flat near King's Cross. The Drive had some good reviews and looked interesting.

I am not a fan of peppers in general, but these peppers were stuffed with goat cheese and mixed in with...more
I've been a few times, and mostly to catch the rooftop patio. It's up several flights of stairs, and fairly walled in (not that there's much scenery to be had around King's Cross). The drink selection is fairly standard, and they didn't have a bar set up at the roof when I went so it was a bit of a trek for drinks. But feel free to check it out if you want some elevation with your libations.more
Nice gastro pub hidden off the main streets of Kings Cross. Good food, nice staff and a fabulous roof terrace. Little gem in the area.more
What a lovely restaurant, Staff fantastic, food yum, just needs attention to detail.
The staff are amazingly attentive, friendly and service was excellent and welcoming, Our drinks were topped up, never empty. The staff deserve a massive well done, I felt there was nothing I couldn't have asked for.
The ambiance was nice, had a bit of an eclectic feel, large wooden tables, candle holders,...more
What a lovely surprise!
My friend and I were wandering around Kings cross (waiting for another friend, who was planning to have a drink with us before jumping on a train to the North.) I had never heard of this pub, and we only came here because I have just received a tastecard through the post, so was keen to see what kind of venues were listed on the tastecard app.

This brick section of Old Florida State Riad one is still open to daily traffic. REd Brick Road at Cathy St.
The gentle uphill slope on the east view of the Red Brick Road is a lot of fun going west. That's Hwy 90 on the right.
The western stretch of Old FSR1. Old Spanish Trail at Bayou. That's Marquis Basin in the background.
Marked bike routes on the REd Brick Road (near Cathy Street).
A brickpile on one of the in-progress stretches of restoration.
Old and new: A reconstructed section of FSR1, butted directly up to vintage brick.
A completely reconstructed section of FSR1. This similar -- of not a bit nicer -- to the original appearance of the road in 1921.
Handlebar panda. The new VO bar bag with integrated decaleur srable and rattle-free on the bricks, even at speed.
Look west towards Milton on the Red Brick Road. This section is completelt straight, with a few gentle hills.
The restored section of Red Brick Road is closed to motor traffic. WINNING.
This was the westernmost stretch of brick I could locate on Old FSR1. It may have been constructed this way -- the old bridge used to be about 20 yards west of this location. Old Spanish Trail near Bayou.
Bikes, pedestrians, and horses only: Looking east along Red Brick Road.
Restoration work, in progress. The concrete shoulder and bumpers are original; brick on the left is vintage, though probably not as old as the road itself. Brick is laid on a sand bed -- I didn't see any mortar in the newly reconstructed sections.
The is the present end of the line on Red Brick Road. Reconstruction is still in progress. Damaged brick, concrete, and blacktop have been removed, with new brick being laid on a sand bed between the original bumpers and road shoulders.
A restored section of Red Brick Road.
There are lots of older trees along Red Brick Road, especially on the north side. This section needs a picnic table.
This section of Old Florida State Road 1 is designated Old Spanish Trail. Looking east, near Marquis Basin.
This section of Old FSR1 is still in daily use.
Shadow panda!
An unrestored section of Old Florida State Road 1. The original brick surface is partially cobered with a crumbling blacktop cap. This is the far end of Red Brick Road, and is not open to the public.
Red Brock Road, west of Cathy Street.
Lots of brick and shade.
The westernmost remaining stretch of Old Florida State Road 1. This section dead-ends where an old bridge has been removed, and is abandoned. I didn't see any brick.
Sign at the western end of the restored section of Red Brick Road. My Surly -- with its steel frame and fat tires -- is really civil on brick.
The westernmost stretch of Old Florida State Road 1 on the east side of the river. This section is abandoned and overgrown. I could locate any bricks.

With their constituents paying $2.50 and up for a gallon of gas, Congress is debating a broad energy bill with incentives to, eventually, produce more fuel. But before Congress gets that all worked out, you may be looking for ways to ease the pain you've been feeling at the pump. Telecommuting may be an answer - even if your company doesn't have a formal policy on flexible work schedules. From the Work and Family Desk, Marketplace's Hillary Wicai reports there's a right way to ask.
A Congressional panel takes up a bill today that deals with postal workers' pensions. But it could also have an effect on the rest of us. As Marketplace's Matthew Algeo reports, what's at stake is -- the price of a stamp. Also, in this edition of The Public's Business, Marketplace commentator Robert Reich says Social Security's problems mask a much bigger crisis.

Are You Living in the "Yes"?
Recently, I committed to a deeper spiritual practice. It included contemplating and releasing anything that did not support my highest good. Every morning, 45 minutes was dedicated to only this aspect of my practice. What came forward was a very old belief that no longer served me. I decided to acknowledge and consciously surrender it.
The amazing thing is that shifts began to take place immediately. As I listened and opened to embracing the old paradigm, something else moved in. It was a question: "Are you living in the YES?"
In All Things Give Thanks
I have been contemplating gratitude for the past few days. What came forward for me was that everything is a gift. When I look back on my life, I can see how every event, experience and person supported me in being the person that I am today.
Take Nothing for Granted
I recently received the unexpected news that three people I love had been in a car accident. The mother and youngest daughter were killed and the second child, 11 years old, was in critical condition. These people are a major part of our spiritual community and youth ministry. I received phone calls and emails filled with shock and sadness. As I sat in the memorial service, I had such a feeling of sadness and loss. The children often ran up to me on a Sunday and showered me with hugs and kisses. I always felt such love and joy during these quick exchanges. Their smiles and joyous ways always filled my heart with warmth and peace.

Stepping Out: Pursue Your Dreams
Success requires risk. It demands that we step out of our comfort zones and move into unknown territory. We all know that, but doing it is another thing. There are lots of people walking around talking about their dreams, but many are completely immobilized. The thought of taking action to manifest the dream is so frightening that they do nothing.
The Search for Self: Healing Old Wounds to Live Life Renewed
Recently, Oprah did this wonderful show on women, food and God. I love that she makes us aware of topics that cause us to pause and reassess how we live. As I contemplated this show, it led me to think about the fact that all addictions have a root cause. That cause is not wanting to "feel" something, or trying to find our worth, our power and our life outside of ourselves.

Why does the weather suck? Eugene is at the nozzle end of a 6,000-mile long plume of wetness jetting all the way across the Pacific. We're hosed.
Have you got a few ideas about how this country ought to be run? Maybe a notion as to what "American values" really means, or how the government can work toward American prosperity?
The Republicans would like to hear from you. Just as soon as they can get their website sorted out. At the moment, it tells me that many Americans are speaking out. Can I wait a moment, then try again?
You bet I can. Because America is speaking out, and it has a sense of humor.
Let's have the Washington Post's Dana Milbank explain what America Speaking Out, the Repubbers' new website, is all about:
Republicans want to take over the House in the fall, but there's a problem: They don't have an agenda.
So on Tuesday, they set out to resolve that shortcoming. They announced that they would solicit suggestions on the Internet, then have members of the public give the ideas a thumbs-up or a thumbs-down. Call it the "Dancing With the Stars" model of public policy.
Later in Millbank's piece — which you really should read; his carefully sustained tone is a thing of sly beauty — Rep. Peter Roskam (Ill.) explains that his party's shiny new site "has cutting-edge technology" and "a winsome design that is easy for people to interact with." And sure, some of those folks interacting with the site are very sincere in their suggestions. Make Congress have the same health care as the rest of us. Don't let politicians vote to give themselves raises. Stop bickering. "I have two words for you: Palin/Beck 2012."
I'm still not sure whether to take that one seriously. But what do the less predictable posters want from this great country?
"Pomegranates are a trend whose time has past," says a poster whose suggestion is currently getting more thumbs-up than thumbs-down votes.
"TAX EXCLAMATION MARKS!!! AND CAPITAL LETTERS!!! AND SENTENCE FRAGMENTS!!!" suggests a person with a creative idea about how to deal with budget issues. Some posters get down to truly pressing questions ("Jelly or jam? I like jelly cause of no seeds") and important details ("Make it illegal for your friend to send you a Facebook message about that brown cow, holy clap, I've seen that thing like fifty times, no exaggeration, no one cares about your farm, Jennifer").
America Speaking Out is currently crashing again, meaning I can't pull more choice quotes for you — but the thing is, fellow Americans, I trust you can find some beauts yourself. Do tell us what you turn up. But let me leave you with one last pearl of wisdom:
"Dolphins are not good role models because they live in groups, just like communists."
The department that brought you "officer blow job" is now testing a new police "muscle car" made famous by a Superbowl ad criticized as misogynist:
Here's the ad:
Here's "Officer Blow Job," aka Roger Magaña, the Eugene cop convicted of raping or sexually abusing more than a dozen women over six years while other EPD officers ignored their complaints:
Here's a spoof of the ad:
Rather than "a man's last stand," maybe the EPD should test a car that emphasizes use of a smarter muscle:
Or maybe Eugene's cops need a new ride that goes Dutch:

At the Oregon and Washington Society of Professional Journalists' annual awards banquet on Saturday, EW picked up a handful of nifty certificates.

A rash of cancellations came in after deadline this week. Here's a quick rundown of what's NOT happening:
• Shooter Jennings is NOT playing the WOW Hall tonight.
• Bitch is NOT playing the OUT/LOUD Queer Music Festival on Friday, May 21, at the WOW Hall, though the festival will otherwise go on as planned.
UPDATE: The OUT/LOUD planning committee just issued a statement explaining that Bitch was "disinvited" from playing at the event due to "her transphobic remarks and ongoing conflict with the trans community." The statement outlines the remarks in question and apologizes to "those who were excluded or hurt by our decision to invite Bitch to play at OUT/LOUD this year."
• The Random Acts of Funnness event at Petersen Barn Community Center will NOT take place on Friday, May 21.
In other, somewhat tangentially related concert news, the band Isis is calling it quits; their current tour, which includes a WOW Hall show on May 29, is their last. The full text of the announcement is on the band's blog.
I need something happy to end this post. Or at least something cheerfully random. So here: An Oregon kid wrote a song inspired by Laurie Halse Anderson's young adult novel Chains. Then he made a video for it. Would you like your dose of earnest charm for the day? Then watch this.
Just yesterday, I mentioned Eugene filmmaker Henry Weintraub while joking about the various occasions on which zombies have roamed Eugene. Today, in a nice bit of timing, a press release arrrived announcing the premiere of Weintraub's newest feature film, the promisingly titled The Darkest Corner of Paradise.
Paradise is a change of pace for Weintraub, whose previous films include the not-quite-a-zombie-movie Melvin and the revenge short Depraved. Now, as the release says, he's "finally trying his hand at drama." The film, which was shot in Eugene and Portland, stars Patrick O'Driscoll, Richard Leebrick, John Schmor and Kato Buss; Sawyer Family bassist Zac Sawyer provides the score.
So what's it about, you ask?
When college graduate Peter Landsman moves to the city to pursue a career in professional accounting, he finds himself in a situation far less predictable. With the disappearance of a mysterious woman, Landsman is lured into an underworld of black market traders and killers.
The Darkest Corner of Paradise premieres Friday, June 19, at the Bijou. For more info, see 531 Productions.
The first words on the page in the new Vertigo comic I, Zombie are "Eugene, Oregon." The setting is awfully familiar: Hello, Pioneer Cemetery! (To the best of my knowledge, until now, the only zombies roaming the cemetery have been those taking part in one of the zombie walks — or perhaps starring in a Henry Weintraub movie.)
I, Zombie takes its time getting to the messier part of its zombie heroine's existence. Writer Chris Roberson and illustrator (and Oregonian) Mike Allred spend most of the issue setting the scene: Gwen, who's slightly on the sarcastic and cranky side, works in an ecologically friendly graveyard and pals around with a '60s ghost and a were-terrier. Elsewhere in town, a hot paintball ref has more than the game on her mind when she stops to chat up a lost fella in the woods, and a pair of detectives aren't just keeping their eyes out for misbehaving punk kids downtown.
Gwen looks a little off. Her skin tone doesn't match anyone else's, as is most apparent under the brighter lights of Dixie's Firehouse (another local landmark, renamed). The book's Oregonian palette is appropriately muted and, yes, of course it rains. It's the first issue. Precedent must be set. Allred's art is clean and readable, almost a little spare, but like the issue as a whole, it builds satisfyingly; Gwen's reveal (which isn't much of a reveal, given the name of the book), with rain pouring down into an open grave and an unpleasant meal in our heroine's hands, is set against a page that illustrates the divide in her life: Girl, zombie; self, other self; what she does and what it means.
I, Zombie is a speedy, easygoing intro to a new series; it's light on plot and feels like it's trying to be a little more quippily clever than it is. But the last few pages, as Roberson gets to the real crux of Gwen's complicated existence, have quite a bit of promise. Gwen has to eat one brain each month to keep from going "all mindless and shambling," as she explains — lack of brains is bad for a zombie lass's complexion — but there's a catch.
There's always a catch.
I, Zombie #1 came out May 5. It's a buck at your friendly local comics-purveying establishment.
The New York Times writes today on how a city — "usually seen as an enclave of hippies, marijuana dispensaries and rock climbers — has become a hotbed of capitalism."
No, unfortunately, it's not Eugene, it's Boulder that's become a hot place for high-tech start ups. Could Eugene follow the model?
The NYT notes some key ingredients to success:
• Author Richard Florida's recipe for "talented people and a high quality of life that keeps them around, technological expertise, and an open-mindedness about new ways of doing things, which often comes from a strong counterculture."
• "the mix of money, universities, a high-tech talent pool and appealing lifestyle needed to hatch tech start-ups."
• "allows for lunch-break hikes"
• A University of Colorado "center makes sure that those veterans cross paths with young entrepreneurs. It hosts meet-ups, a campuswide business plan competition and a law clinic, where entrepreneurs get free legal help on things like intellectual property protection."
• "a three-month mentorship program that has taken place in an old gym in Boulder since 2007, has spurred the start-up community's growth."
• "Several of them share space — tiny offices and a big common room, kitchen and deck — above Aji, a Latin American restaurant downtown."
Interesting. There's nothing about the big corporate tax breaks, chain stores, urban sprawl, big box retail, call centers, filling wetlands, bulldozing riverfront natural areas, reducing regulations, freeways or groveling for exportable factory jobs that has been and remains the focus of Eugene's failed economic development strategy. Maybe Eugene needs a stronger counterculture.
This well-ordered and wisely chosen selection of shorts from Portland's Northwest Film and Video Festival is a promising overview of Northwest short film. Most of the selections are smart, spry and inventive — and a surprising number are animated, all in different styles and with wildly varying subject matter. "The Mouse That Soared," which opens the program, is a playful, vividly colored short that aspires to be one of the brief, wordless pieces that preface Pixar films. The animation is a little high-gloss, but the characters are charming. "Nature On Its Course" is exactly the opposite — a rough-hewn, interestingly textured short about a man, a mountain, a gun and an avalanche.
The dense, shifting imagery of "Endless Tunnel" and the succinct, amusingly dark "Stick" supply even more animated appeal. And then there's "Missed Aches," Joanna Priestly's animated vision of Taylor Mali's "The the impotence of proofreading," a poem about spellcheck, word choice and double entendres, which doubles its humor quotient about every 12 seconds. (The red pen is your friend, indeed.)
Among the live-action shorts, "Damian and Ende" is an appealingly atmospheric, gently mournful piece about the divulgent paths of two close friends. The two-minute "Eros" builds a lushly threatening mood via the careful preparation of an intensely decadent meal. As Rod McKuen narrates his poem "Eros," Sean Nelson (of Harvey Danger, and easily identifiable by his hair) slices, fries and grates a tableful of indulgence, then dips into the medicine cabinet before going out.
"Nous Deux Encore," a 16-minute piece by Portland's Heather Harlow, is an effectively pitched love story that tells its end first; using photos and voiceover, Harlow traces a romance that ended too soon. The short, though, feels as if it's about to end several times before its actual ending, which makes it feel drawn-out.
"Don't Worry, It's a New Century" starts slowly, but builds up its idea of "idea recycling" through dryly delivered voiceover that comes from a fuzzy TV screen traveling Portland's streets by car. Creating new ideas, the voice says, is bad for the environment. So why not just reuse others' ideas, like, say, recreating a famous car chase with your bearded pals? Watching low-key dudes in nondescript modern cars intercut with scenes from Bullitt is funnier than you might expect.
The Best of the Northwest Film and Video Festival shows at 10:30 am Saturday, May 8, at DIVA. Festival director Bill Foster, filmmaker Jay Rosenblatt and Cinema Pacific director Richard Herskowitz will discuss festival programming following the screening. See cinemapacific.uoregon.edu for more.
After Kip Kinkel shot up Thurston High School a dozen years ago, Springfield never got ongoing funding for more school counselors or better gun laws. But this week, the city got a big new gun store.
Here's a sampling of what you can buy at Cabela's:
"Each model is chambered in 5.56mm NATO/.223 Remington and has a six-position collapsible stock, chrome-lined 4140 steel barrel, 7075 T6 aluminum receiver, hard-coat black anodized finish and comes with a 30-round magazine," according to Cabella's website. A reviewer said he's shot "well over 1,000 rounds" with the assault rifle. "This gun shoots very smooth and is very accurate."
If you're looking for the latest in "home defense" ammunition, Cabella's offers a wide selection, including:
"Extreme Shock" ammo "was engineered for applications where greater penetration is a must. The EPR has greater terminal success when fired through glass or wood. This round has the ability to penetrate heavy skin and dense bone and then fragment once inside the softer tissue of the target." The big box store offers the "advanced" ammunition's "increased terminal success" for as little as $1.45 a pop.
One of the biggest arguments the UO has used for its lavish athletic funding is all the positive national publicity big time sports bring to the university.
Yeah right. In a major story last week headlined "Off-Field Turmoil Causes Soul Searching at Oregon," the New York Times reported on an athletic "program run amok."
The story rehashes a litany of UO amokness for a national audience. Here's some lowlights:
• "six players who were arrested during a span of several weeks"
• "The state attorney general launched an investigation into the $2.3
million buyout of Athletic Director Mike Bellotti, the former football
coach whose 'contract' turned out to be a handshake agreement."
• "The hiring of a basketball coach was no more smooth...the job
search had taken six weeks, or long enough that three players had asked
for their releases."
• The UO "will have to figure out how to make the bond payments on the new $227 million basketball arena."
• "...said Nathan Tublitz, a biology professor and the president of the
university senate. 'The athletic department is out of control here.'"
• "Before Bellotti, the department had been run by its No. 2 benefactor, the booster turned athletic director Pat Kilkenny."
• "Phil Knight, the Nike co-founder — began pouring hundreds of millions
of dollars into its athletic facilities, which are among the most
opulent in the country" and include a "wood-paneled locker room with 60-inch flat-screen televisions"
• UO guard Mark Asper told the Times: "People say, 'Oh, you guys are a bunch of hooligans,' and it's tough because you don't have any evidence to the contrary."
• "Coach Chip Kelly...affirmed at a news conference that he had not lost control of the
program. Less than 24 hours later, linebacker Kiko Alonso was arrested
for driving under the influence. The next day, receiver Jamere Holland,
believing Alonso had been kicked off the team, unleashed an
expletive-laced rant against Kelly..."
• "rather than distancing themselves from the behavior of LeGarrette Blount,
whose nationally televised sucker punch of a Boise State player was one
of college football's enduring images last season, the Ducks
demonstrated in the early days of the off-season that birds of a
feather do indeed flock together."
• "Masoli and James had been arrested before arriving in Eugene. Masoli
spent three months in juvenile hall in 2005 for his role in a series of
robberies at a Bay Area shopping mall. James was arrested in 2008 and
charged with battery and disorderly conduct after being involved in a
fight, but the charges were dropped a year later."
• "The moves appear to highlight an acknowledgment of the gap between how
the university and the athletic department have been run — one beholden
to state lawmakers, the other a seemingly freestanding corporation."
Portland's Mayor Sam Adams supports a city boycott of travel to Arizona as a show of opposition to a new anti-Hispanic law, Willamette Week reports.
No word on whether Eugene Mayor Kitty Piercy supports a similar ban because of the law critics have called fascist. Of course, such a ban would be largely symbolic as few city employees travel much to Arizona. A more meaningful gesture may be a ban on purchasing one of Arizona's most controversial exports: Tasers.
Taser International is headquartered in Scottsdale, Arizona. The Eugene Police department wants to give the corporation tens of thousands of dollars for controversial electroshock weapons that critics say violate basic human rights.
One of Eugene's newest public art installations, a directional pillar at the train station, memorializes a 1997 incident when Eugene police emptied every can of pepper spray they could find on tree sitters.
Here's the art:
Here's a look at what happened:
Pickathon is not your average summer festival.
I'd heard that, before I went last year, but you have to experience it for the difference to really be clear. It's not small — it sprawls over 80 acres of Pendarvis Farm, outside Portland — but it feels small, intimate and unexpectedly comfortable. It's not crowded. It's laid-back, but not super-hippie. You don't go to get all jacked up on cheap beer and fast food; you go to nibble ice cream and maybe find a shady corner of the beer garden to enjoy a microbrew.
(My posts about a Saturday spent at last year's Pickathon are here and here.)
Today, Pickathon announced the last additions to their 2010 lineup, which has Dr. Dog, The Fruit Bats, Punch Brothers, Blind Boy, Cardboard Songsters and Little Wings joining a list that already ranged from Bonnie "Prince" Billy to Portland's Richmond Fontaine and Weinland to Langhorn Slim, The Cave Singers and Black Prairie.
If you see a lot of familiar names on the full lineup, it's because there's a particular overlap between Pickathon's once-roots-oriented, now more broad musical selections and the bands that find a good reception in Eugene. Black Prairie's Chris Funk, who's playing his first Pickathon this year, says via email, "It seems to be a great combination of folk and indie rock, which is basically my playlist. Just enough bluegrass and Americana mixed with indie stars."
Funk says he's looking forward to seeing Bonnie "Prince" Billy, Heartless Bastards, Sallie Ford and others but, he says, "I usually just go to these festivals and wander, just try to see bands I've never heard of."
At Pickathon, that wander can take you to a stage in the middle of the woods and back out again, to where two main stages sit at the base of a gentle slope. Two indoor, barn-like stages round out the places at which bands usually play multiple sets over the course of the weekend. When asked what he's heard about Pickathon that makes is particularly appealing, Funk says, "It's a camping festival on a really great piece of property that is very, very close to Portland. I think if you run out of 'supplies' there is a New Seasons about 2 miles away, but it's got a great view of Mount Hood on this great horse farm nestled into a forest."
"Nestled" is the word that really sets Pickathon apart. You don't feel defensive, like you've got to guard your personal space or keep an eye on your blanket. It might get trodden upon by dirty kids' feet, but half an hour later, you'll be glad those same kids have super-soakers and are pointing them in your direction. You just nestle in for the weekend and forget that Portland is just a few miles away.
Pickathon takes place Aug. 6-8 at Pendarvis Farm outside Portland. Discount tickets are currently $115 (camping included; parking is extra), but will rise to $130 when the discounted ones are sold out.

Welcome to Law.com's Midweek Recess, in which we round up some tasty tidbits from the week's legal news cycle. We'll be here every Wednesday, so grab a cup of coffee and take a little break. It's all downhill to the (long!) weekend from here.
Twitter Tantrum - In case you haven't heard, the U.S. Supreme Court handed down its ruling in Burwell v. Hobby Lobby on Monday. As is the norm with controversial decisions, a firestorm of commentary ensued. This time, though, some of it was aimed at an unexpected target: SCOTUSBlog.
"Why SCOTUSBlog?" you might ask. "They didn't make the decision." Well. Apparently, some people thought that SCOTUSBlog was the actual blog of SCOTUS, and that its Twitter account was the official Twitter of SCOTUS. So they decided to let the justices have it (or so they thought). And SCOTUSBlog, not one to miss out on some fun, tweeted back. Unsurprisingly, hilarity ensued:
Really? Let's let twitter decide. Ok? MT @The_Itch: @SCOTUSblog How do I become a justice? Pretty sure I'm smarter than 5 of you.
— SCOTUSblog (@SCOTUSblog) July 1, 2014
Or when bloggers decide the law? MT @alyssaanton: @SCOTUSblog proves democracy cannot work when leaders are appointed instead of elected.
— SCOTUSblog (@SCOTUSblog) July 1, 2014
Fee fie fo… fum you @SCOTUSblog There is no respect for these male dunderheads! Fie on your ignorance!
— SCOTUSblog (@SCOTUSblog) July 1, 2014
Fie indeed–on everyone who can't read a Twitter bio. Psst! They're in the lefthand corner!
What's Love Got to Do With It? – Much of the (140-characters-plus) debate over the decisions issued during this Supreme Court term has focused on the high number of unanimous rulings. Some have suggested that this heralds the arrival of a new, warm, cuddly SCOTUS; Eric Posner thinks not. Rather, he argues that the court has actually issued a relatively consistent number of unanimous decisions each term since 1995. Further, Posner suggests that unanimous decisions "mask ideology rather than show its absence."
So, if you thought harmony among the nine was imminent, think again. It's not that they don't disagree. It's just that, like any family, the justices try not to fight in public—er, not too often, anyway.
Guess Who's Back (In Court)– Barry Bonds, of Giants baseball fame, has been given another shot at having his felony conviction overturned. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit has agreed to an en banc rehearing to consider whether Bonds was guilty of obstructing justice when he gave a long, indirect answer to a grand jury's questions about steroid use. The jury found his answer "evasive" and convicted him. A three-judge panel from the Ninth had previously affirmed that ruling, but the majority of the judges on the court agreed to rehear his appeal. This gives a whole new meaning to trying to come from behind to win in the Ninth.
Doggone It – In other baseball news, the Missouri Supreme Court has ordered a new trial in a fight over damages for a fan who was hit in the eye by a hot dog tossed by the mascot of the Kansas City Royals during a game. The court, citing prior rulings, acknowledged that baseball teams are not liable for injuries that a fan might reasonably expect to sustain at the ballpark–such as getting hit by a fly ball. However, Judge Paul C. Wilson felt that the risk of getting thwacked in the face by a flying sausage launched from an air gun was "not an unavoidable part of watching the Royals play baseball."
We'd just like to have a talk with the mascot's mother. Didn't she teach him it's not polite to throw food?

No current Talk conversations about this book.
At the beginning of this mystery the reader meets mild-mannered math teacher Ishigami as he walks to work on a route which takes him past the lunch shop, "Benten-tei" where he orders lunch every day from his attractive neighbor, Yasuko Hanaoka. When her abusive ex-husband comes to Yasuko and her daughter's apartment one evening and ends up dead at their hands, Ishigami constructs a watertight alibi for them. The police are suspicious and determined to find out who killed the man. They enlist the support of their own scientist in the murder investigation, the brilliant and eccentric physicist Yukawa Manabu, who just happens to be an old classmate of Ishigami's. The center of the story starts with the unpicking of the alibi and the beginning of a battle of wills between the two scientists to completely outwit one another. I thought this was really interesting but I missed the character interaction that happens in more typical mysteries. The suppressed nature of the men kept me from becoming as involved in the story as I usually like. However, the plot is very cleverly constructed and I enjoyed it very much. I definitely plan to pick up the next book in the series, Salvation of a Saint. "
This is a Japanese murder mystery with a twist. From the very beginning we know the murderer, and the focus of the book is the game of cat and mouse played as the evidence needed to convict the murderer is sought.
Yasuko is the divorced mother of a teenager. Her ex-husband, Togashi, was abusive, and has been mostly absent from their lives since the divorce. When he shows up demanding money, the argument escalates to violence and he ends up dead. Yasuko and her daughter are distraught and do not know what to do. Their next-door neighbor Ishigami, who has overheard the commotion, rings the doorbell and offers his assitance in disposing of the body and helping them avoid detection. Ishigami is a genius, a brilliant mathematician who has squelched his academic ambitions to teache high school math while obsessively working on mathmatical proofs during his off-hours.
The detective assigned to the case is assisted by a physics professor, Yukawa, who happens to be a university friend of Ishigami and who has never understood why Ishigami abandoned his ambitions. Ishigami and Yukawa parry with each other, each trying to anticipate the moves the other will take, and to act accordingly. Ultimately, the question becomes, "Is it more difficult to formulate an unsolveable problem, or to solve that problem?"
Loved this book! Full of surprises at every turn.
Keith Ablow
This book reminded me of some of Ruth Rendell's work. Higashino makes one think that you are just following detective Kusanagi as he solves the crime, but the reality is very different. Very good book and story.
Anyone may be capable of murder, but only a mathematical genius can concoct a foolproof plan for getting away with it. That's the premise of THE DEVOTION OF SUSPECT X, Keigo Higashino's ingeniously plotted mystery about a math teacher who deduces that the neighbor he worships has murdered her abusive ex-husband and then calmly offers to help her escape the consequences. "Logical thinking will get us through this," Tetsuya Ishigami promises...

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0312375069, Hardcover)
Yasuko Hanaoka is a divorced, single mother who thought she had finally escaped her abusive ex-husband Togashi. When he shows up one day to extort money from her, threatening both her and her teenaged daughter Misato, the situation quickly escalates into violence and Togashi ends up dead on her apartment floor. Overhearing the commotion, Yasuko's next door neighbor, middle-aged high school mathematics teacher Ishigami, offers his help, disposing not only of the body but plotting the cover-up step-by-step. When the body turns up and is identified, Detective Kusanagi draws the case and Yasuko comes under suspicion. Kusanagi is unable to find any obvious holes in Yasuko's manufactured alibi and yet is still sure that there's something wrong. Kusanagi brings in Dr. Manabu Yukawa, a physicist and college friend who frequently consults with the police. Yukawa, known to the police by the nickname Professor Galileo, went to college with Ishigami. After meeting up with him again, Yukawa is convinced that Ishigami had something to do with the murder. What ensues is a high level battle of wits, as Ishigami tries to protect Yasuko by outmaneuvering and outthinking Yukawa, who faces his most clever and determined opponent yet.

Looking busy has a bad rap. Sometimes you have to look busy so you can actually work on the things that matter. Here's how to trick others into believing you've got a full plate so you'll get the breathing room to actually get things done.
When you have a stressful job like a doctor or a pilot, you're faced with executing complex tasks everyday with very high rates of success. How do such professionals even get started when the task at hand can be so overwhelming? One tool that helps them manage their work is the humble checklist.
Transformy is a pretty clever little app for changing the way data in a list is shown. Just paste in your source list, type the first line the way you'd like your list to look, and let Transformy do the rest.
When you're coming up with goals, having a list (or two) is a great way to stay motivated. While you're making that document, though, you may want to create an accompanying list of obstacles that could keep you from your goal.
Trello is an awesome project management tool that makes collaboration easy and, dare I say, even fun. But this visual list tool can do so much more, whether you're organizing work projects, family chores, travel plans, or just about anything else. Here are some ways to put Trello to use for managing your entire life.
It's no secret that Lifehacker reader and writers alike love to-do lists. Complex and abstract tasks don't always fit into this format, but the best first step might be to make a list anyway.
We love to-do lists here at Lifehacker. But checklists—routine lists of steps involved in a process—often get overlooked. However, they're invaluable for giving your mind freedom to think about the important things.
We've all got a few annoying small items on our to-do list. They never seem to get done because of more pressing stuff. They taunt us and sit at the bottom of the list. To clear them out, budget one afternoon and get them all done.
Have you ever noticed how easy it is to make a to do list, but how much harder it is to actually finish it? Prioritization makes a huge difference when it comes to actually completing that task list. The trick is to be as ruthless as you can stand.
Susan Sontag was a woman of many hats. She was a writer, critic, filmmaker, and a teacher. She got a lot done before she died in 2004. Let's take a look at how she did it all.
Web: It's best to have a checklist when you are travelling so you don't forget anything, but making one can be a hassle. What To Pack is a simple Web app that auto-generates a starter checklist based on your requirements.
iOS: Most to-do apps that allow you to collaborate with people require everyone to sign up for an account, but List Weaver keeps things simple by simply integrating with iCloud so sharing lists is incredibly easy. It's also free.
When I was a kid, I read a book called The Listmaker. It's about a young girl who uses lists to organize and make sense of her life. At the time I didn't read any more into it besides the fact that this was an odd hobby for a pre-teen girl to spend so much time on. Now, although I don't remember the book that well, I…
Generally speaking, we tend to organize our to-do lists by either priority or time. That's fine, but it doesn't work for everyone, especially on those days when you're a bit under the weather. For those times, 99U suggests trying something a little different and organizing your to-dos by the amount of energy it takes…
Love it or hate it, Apple's Reminders app is built so deeply into iOS and OS X that it's impossible to ignore. If you want to stick inside Apple's ecosystem but use Reminders as an actual GTD-style app, blogger Sven Fechner shows you how.
Traditionally, any list we make usually starts at the top-left corner, going right and down. But given that we don't think in sequence, our lists should be more haphazard, says Ben Schott, author of Schott's Original Miscellany, a compendium of lists.
If you happen upon a good article filled with links, you usually need to pop in and grab those each individually if you want to save them. GrabLinks is a bookmarklet that pulls every link out of the text you select, then turns that into a clean and easy to read Markdown list.

German Exports Shrug Off Debt Woes to Breach EU1 Trillion Sales
German exports in 2011 will probably breach the 1 trillion euro ($1.3 trillion) level for the first time as demand from developing states offsets waning sales in Europe, the BGA Exporters and Wholesalers said.
Export sales will likely grow 12 percent this year to 1.075 trillion euros from last year and expand at least 6 percent in 2012 to 1.14 trillion euros, the Berlin-based group said today in presenting its outlook. This year's sales will yield a trade surplus of 156 billion euros, or 3 billion euros more than in 2010, the group said.
"Emerging markets are hardly impacted by the debt crisis and are continuing to invest strongly in future technologies," the BGA said in a statement. The group, led by President Anton Boerner, urged euro-region leaders to fight to save the euro from which German exporters "profit massively."
The euro region accounted for about 40 percent of the country's foreign sales in 2010.
Germany would pay a "massive economic price" if the euro collapsed, robbing exporters of a competitively priced currency, the group said. German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble has said the price of the nation's exports would climb if the deutsche mark was reinstated as its currency.
Exports led the German economy, Europe's largest, out of recession in 2009. The economy may grow over 3 percent this year after export growth sparked domestic demand. Economic growth will slow to 1 percent in 2012, according to government forecasts that cite flagging demand in the 17-state euro region.
Surging commodity prices helped push up the cost of German imports this year by 14 percent to 919 billion euros, the BGA said.

Not popular and happy by prosaixWatch
©2012-2016 prosaix
Not being popular gives me an odd sense of safety. I like it
Yeah :3
Me too.
Same here. If you had lots of friends, you wouldn't have that much time to get to know them individually. And what's the point of having friends when they don't even know you? ^^
psh. popular people xD
they gain popularitry and now know everyone in school and leave their friends.
they gain popularitry and now know everyone in school and leave their friends.
True. The thing is, I'm a nerd yet I'm still popular with the boys...
SO TRUE. I love your stamps so much!!!
Uhm, excuse me, I am an idiot, and I was wondering if you could tell how to find the... THINGY... to use this?
Being popular suck anyway
This is so me
Thanks for making the stamp.
Thanks for making the stamp.
Cute and 100% true ^^
Haha! Your stamps are actually funny AND cool AND stylish. LUV IT.
They say Im just a loser C:
Well sorry for worrying about my future, :>
Well sorry for worrying about my future, :>
I cannot tell you just how much I love that I am an outcast/loner. I would hate if I was popular with all the fake people involved with that shit.
so true :3 why would you want to be popular? poopularity equals attention, attention equals being active, being active equals having to deal with drama, dealing with drama equals being slowly driven crazy
At least popular people get the stress!
Yeah whenever someone says to me "You're weird" I always say "THANK YOU"
Random person: You're a nerd! >:3
Me: Why, thank you! ^^
Me: Why, thank you! ^^
I'm such a geek. And that phrase relates to me.
i like this because im the most unpopular kid at my middle school and i get bullied alot so this must be a great phrase for me...
Ha! Unpopularity <3
Because I don't get popular people
Because I don't get popular people
Geek for life ^-^
Aww, the googled emote looks so cute and sweet. This one suits me quite well... Good concept!
Who dosen't like being a werid little freak not me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yup I don't need to be popular to be happy in fact, I would never want to be popular that would just be a nightmare...o.o
"In the dark but I see the light."
"In the dark but I see the light."
"Everybody's nobody, Nobody is somebody".
This stamp inspires me.
This stamp inspires me.
Agreed. I don't really want to be popular. I don't tend to post that often for a reason.
Oh, yeah baby.
That is so me. Girls at my school called the guys I hang out with nerds once and I said if they are nerds so am I! Then my best friend stepped in and said and if she is a nerd so an I. Then the girl said no you arent a nerd like her. Then she walked off.
Yes, thank you! Best stamp at the moment!
popularity is so stupid
Haha love it
I'm not popular, but unfortunately I can't be happy about it. XD
Whats so great about being popular anyway?
