This invention relates to mobile apparatus for invalids, and with regard to certain more specific features, to an invalids movable and adjustable combination bed and chair.
Among the several objectsof the invention may be noted the provision of an invalids combination bed and chair which is mobile to and from an ordinary bed; the provision of apparatus of this class which will permit a single attendant to transfer a patient with ease from-a bed to the apparatus or vice versapthe provision of apparatus of the class described in which the supporting structure for the patient may be adjusted from a chair form through various inclinations to a bed form; the provision of apparatus of the class described in which the structure which directly supports the patient may be independently adjusted in elevation regardless of its form as a bed or a chair; and the provision of apparatus of the class described which is rugged and economical to construct. Other objects will be in part apparent and in part pointed out hereinafter.
The invention accordingly comprises the elements and combinations -of elements, features of construction, and arrangements of parts which will be exemplified in the structures hereinafter described, and the scope of the application of which will be indicated in the followingclaims.

The present invention facilitates the transfer;
emergency operating table or the like, thus contributing to the patients comfort and welfare and providing a convenience to thepatients at tendant by eliminatingthe, necessity for pulling, pushing and lifting a patient in making the necessary transfers.
Referring now more particularly to the drawings, numeral 1 indicates a frame comprising members 2 joined at the rear by a crossbar 1, and at the'front and middle by rotary shafts 23 and 25 carried in bearings 3! and 33 respectively and to be further described. Rear wheels 3 and front casters 5 are mounted on the frame I to carry it parallel with a floor surface. Supported upon the frame I is an elevating linkage consist: ing of two parts which are best shown in the kinematic diagram of Fig. 6. A part of this linkage is a four-bar linkage consisting of the frame I, a driving lever i, a connecting link 9 and a swinging stabilizing link ll, pinned to one another as shown at 8,13 and 25. By rotating the lever 1, the pivot 13 may be adjusted in eleva-. tion. Pivoted at the other end of the frame! is a second driving lever I5, equal in length and angular position to the lever 1 It is pinned at IE to "link ll, which is equal in length and position to the link 9. A horizontal seat-formirig link I9 is pivotedto the links 9 and l l at pivot f3, and to the link i? at pivot 24. By rotatin either or both levers l and 15, the stated linkage will be driven to adjust the elevation of member 19, maintaining it in ,every position parallel to the frame I. It will be understood that in Fig. 6 all parts of all links are diagrammatically shown in one plane but actually they are formed with duplicate elements on each side of the apparatus, with the exception of single link II, which is mounted centrally. The other figures of the drawingsshow the physical duplicates throughout.
The elevator mechanism so far described is actuated by means of the following'drivez The frame I carries the previously mentioned rotary cross shafts 23 and 25 upon which are respece tively mounted worm gear reduction drives ,2! and, 29. The shafts 23 and 25 support the drives 21 and 29, respectively, and are driven by fthem respectively. The frame bearings for the shafts 23 and 25 are shown at 3I and 33, respectively. The worms of the reduction units are connected by a longitudinal drive shaft 35. This drive shaft is borne in and supports a Worm gear reduction unit 31. The unit 31 is driven from a shaft 39, which is in turn rotated by means of a crank M. The shafts 23 and 25, respectively, carry the levers I and I so that when the crank II is operated, the parallel levers I and I5 are turned through the same angular phases, since the speed reductions in units 21 and 29 are equal. Thus a double reduction is obtained from crank handle M to lever I through units 31 and 21 and to lever I5 through the units 31 and 29.
The apparatus thus far described constitutes the elevator mechanism for the seat member I9 and hence for parts subsequently to be described, which constitute the adjustable chair and bed or table combination. The combination is constituted by the link I9, which is in the form of a frame, as shown in Fig. 4. The pieces 43 forming the pivots I3 and 24 are welded to the member I9. The frame I9 carries a seat pad 45. The rear end of member I9 carries pivot-forming members 4'! for pivoting at 48 a back 49 which carries a back pad 5!. The front end of the frame I9 carries members 53, which form a pivot 55 for a leg-supporting frame section 51 carrying a leg pad 59. At the bottom of section 51 is a foot rest 6I which may be angled to any convenient position, suitable bores 63 and pin 65 being used for the purpose.
From the drawings it will appear that the member 49 may be referred to as a rectangular frame forming a back rest section; the member I9 is a rectangular frame forming a seat rest section; and the member 57 is a rectangular frame forming a leg rest section. The leg rest section 57 has extensions 67 which carry coaxial pivots 69 for joining with links forming arm rests. The rear ends of these links 'H are pivoted at I3 with the back rest section 49. The members 'II, 61, 49 and I9 form a parallelogram in side elevation so that adjustments may be made from the upright position of parts shown in Fig. 1 through the reclining position shown in Fig. 3 to the prone position shown in Fig. 2. A sector plate I5 is welded to member I9 and carries an arcuate series of holes 11 adapted to be transversed by a hole 19 in the lower end of the back rest member 49. By dropping a pin into aligned holes TI and I9 the desired adjustment may be maintained. A sector mechanism of the class described is used at each side of the chair.
From the above it will be clear that adjustments for elevation which are made from the crank M and control the position of the seatforming section or link I9 are independent of the adjustments for reclining, which are made between the sections 49, I9, 51 and arms 1 I. Thus a patient may be adjusted for any given recline and independently adjusted into any desired elevated position. For example, the parts 49, I9, 51 may be placed in the prone or horizontal reclining position of Fig. 2 and then adjusted for elevation to a near flush condition with the surface of a permanent bed for transfer of a patient. Then the parts 49, I9 and 51 may be adjusted to a position such as shown in Fig. 3 or Fig. 1, so that the patient may be perambulated in seated position. Or, he might be elevated in the position of Fig. 2 for transfer to an operating table or for emergency operation on the present device itself.
It will also be noted that raising of the seat section I9 causes said section to shift forward with respect to the points of support, the wheels. Since the apparatus is normally at a low elevation when used as a chair and at a high eletion when used as a bed, the linkage, in effect, compensates for the rearward shift of the patients center of gravity when he is changed from a sitting position to the reclining position of the bed form.
Many bedridden patients are completely helpless, and it is quite difficult for one person to move them to and from a bed. Often several persons are required for a removal. In order to facilitate a transfer of a helpless patient by one or a minimum number of persons, the equipment operatively shown in Figs. 7-10 is employed. Details appear in the remaining figures. This comprises a three-section sheave BI carried on a shaft 83 which is supported in bearings 85 on the frame section I9. A crank 37 controls the shaft 83 and sheave 8|.
Wound on the sheave BI are three flexible connector cords 89, SI and 93 shown in alternative positions in Fig. 4. The arrangement of cords shown in solid lines is used for transfer from the bed to the apparatus (Figs. 7 and 3); and the dotted line arrangement is used for transfer from the apparatus to the bed (Figs. 9 and 10).
Referring to the solid lines in Fig. 4, the cord 89 is threaded through an eye on a crossbar 22 which forms the cross connection of the two links H. The cord then passes through an eye 91 under the leg rest 51. The cord 9| is threaded through an eye 99 on the crossbar 2I and an eye I93 on the side of seat frame I9. The cord 93 passes through an eye Iill positioned next to eye 99 on crossbar 2I and through eye I99 on the back rest 49. The cords and eyes are located beneath the frames.
Conversely, the cords may be reversed to the other side of the apparatus as shown by the dotted lines of Figs. 4 and 8. The cord 89 is threaded through eye 98 on the opposite side of the leg rest 57. Cords SI and 93 are located so as not to overlap. Thus cord 93 passing through eye IIJI may be threaded through the other eye I94 on the seat member I9; and cord 9I passing through eye 99 may be threaded through eye I02 on the back rest 59.
The ends of the flexible connectors 89, 9| and 93 are provided with enlargements I96 which may pass through the aforementioned eyes, but which are adapted to engage in key slots I08 in spatulas or needles to be described (see Fig. 7). Each spatula is flat and polished and has rounded edges for easy slipping under a patient. The key slots I08 are also adapted for receiving angle members III. These angle members are detachable and are placed in position after the spatulas have been slipped under a patient. The angle members are adapted to'back arm rest cushions II3. These cushions normally are held upon the arm rails II by clips H5, but when needed in connection with the spatulas they may beremoved and used as shown in Fig. 7. The cushion arm rests IIS may be clipped onto cross braces H? of the back 19 when not in use in connection with the spatulas or in connection with the arm rests II (see Fig. 2).
The use of the device for removing a patient from an ordinary bed to the present apparatus is shown in Figs. 7 and 8. The apparatus is set to the horizontal reclining position of Fig. 2 and adjusted in elevation to be just slightly lower than the plane of the upper surface of the bed. The cushion arm rests II3 are removed.
' 5 Then the crank 81 ismanipulatedto permit unwinding of the flexible connectors 89; 9!, 93 which are threaded through the propereyes. The spatulas or needles H35, lt'iand N39, with cords attached, are-then threaded under the patient (Figs. 7 and 8), preferably beneath suitable sheeting or other bed clothing, and if possible over plastic or rubber sheeting of relatively low friction finish. These sheets are not shown in the drawings in order not to complicate them. This places the flexible connectors under the'patient. At this time the spatulas or needles do not carry the angle brackets Hi. After the spatulas are in the position shown in- Fig. '7, the cushions H3 are attached and if sheeting is used they will be under the sheeting. The cushions are linked together by means of a pin connection provided for the purpose and shown at i IQ (Fig. '7). They are then attached to the spatulas by means of the angles Hi suitably connected at one of the openings Edi; shown in the spatulas, to suit the contour of the patients body and to maintain the cushions in a substantially vertical position. Then by operating the crank 81, the connectors are drawn in on the sheave 8i and the patient is drawn onto the present apparatus. The reaction for the pull in the connectors is taken between the apparatus and the bed. Then the cushions and brackets may be removed and the spatulas drawn out from under the patient by action of the crank 8'5, whereupon he is in a location to be raised into a sitting position, if desired.
To reverse the order of events, the arrangement shown in Fig. 9 (and bythe dotted lines of Fig. 4) is used, wherein the connectors are reversed as described, then doubled back and threaded under the patient by means of the spatulas. Then assuming that the cushions and angle braces have been applied as above described, winding on the crank will result in movement of the patient from the apparatus to the bed, as shown by the arrow in Fig. 9. In this case the elevation of the apparatus should be slightly higher than that of the upper plane of the bed. Naturally, when one side of the patient arrives at the edge of the bed there will be a reaction tending to tilt the apparatus, which may be balanced by the nurse; or, if desired, a clamp such as shown at I23 may be used between the bed and a portion of the apparatus, as indicated.
In Fig. 10 is shown a mode of operation in which the reaction due to unloading of the patient from the apparatus to the bed is taken up by contact between them, no clamp being required. It is preferable in this case that a special permanent bed be employed having rollers 25 beneath and along its edges. In this case the flexible connectors are fed under the bed, as indicated at i2'l, over its far edge 829, back over the bed as shown at l3l, and then threaded under the patient, as already described. Operation of the crank 8'! and in-drawing of the connectors will then slide the patient from the apparatus onto the bed, the reaction being between their edges.
In the mode of operation of Fig. 10 there is an advantage over that of Fig. 9 since the patient may be moved to the center of the permanent bed;
If desired, an L-shaped, form-fittingcradle may be substituted for the spatulas hi5, it? and H99 and the cushions H3 to which the connectors are attached. Such a cradle is shown at numeral i5! (Fig. 11) with openings I53 for fastening the cords, Such a "cradle whendra'wn toward the patient from onesidehas the effect 1 of picking him up and sliding himacross the bed. It will be understood that the spatulas may be used for threading the cords under the patient and removed before the connectors are fastened to the cradle. The connectors may be composed of tape or cords of nylon or the like, or metal.
Although the present disclosure indicates cranks for supplying manual motive power, it
willz be: understood that suitable motor drives 7 may be used at these points if desired, supplied Thus compensation is made as the device is put into the bed position shown in Fig. 2. The result is that the center of gravity of the patient is kept within the area bounded by. the wheel supports of the frame. The compensation is such that the rearward movement of the center of gravity of the patient when lying down is compensated forward, so that there isno danger of a prone patient. pivoting. backward on the wheels 3.
- It should be observed that the. device would not normally be used as a chair when elevated to the position of Fig. 2 but only asa bed, so that under such conditions the center of gravity of a patient will properly be compensated. On the other hand, the normal seating position is with the member l9 down, as shown in Fig. 1, wherein the center of gravity is compensated backward into the preferred position within the wheel supports of the frame. There is of course some adjustment forward of the patients center of gravity when seated during the initial period of lift but this is not enough for the patient to tilt forward on the casters 5. By the time the lift is high enough for the desired bed position of Fig. 2, the reclining chair linkage is no longer used by the patient as an up-right chair.
In view of the above, it will be seen that the several objects of the invention are achieved and other advantageous results attained.
As many changes could be made in the above constructions without departing from the scope of the invention, it is intended that all matter contained in the above description or shown in the accompanying drawings shall be interpreted as illustrative and not in a limiting sense.

See How This Works?
Let's say you're in the Republican Party, and you notice that one of your swing-district Congressmen, Dave Reichert, is facing a serious challenger who has raised twice as much money as him in the first quarter. Worse than that, this challenger, Darcy Burner, is getting a lot of good press for having raised all that cash.
What to do? Well, since there's no penalty for filing flimsy complaints with the Federal Elections Commission, why not file a complaint that suggests Burner has been violating campaign finance rules? That will make it seem like she's been raising all that money because she's playing fast and loose with the rules, not because she has momentum. Great idea!
Step 1: Have the State Republican Party write up the complaint. Mail it off, post it on the web, and send an email to local bloggers and reporters headlined: "8th District Democrat named in campaign violation complaint." That'll get their attention. And it does! Bloggers post it (here and here), and the next day the Seattle Post-Intelligencer picks it up, as does the King County Journal.
Step 2: Nevermind that the Burner campaign has already answered the allegations, calling them "frivolous." The seeds of suspicion have been planted. It will take the FEC weeks, if not months, and maybe even until after the election, to determine whether the complaint has merit. In the meantime, encourage conservative blogger Stefan Sharkansky to do a running series of posts on the subject (here and here).
Step 3: Feed the story to the conservative Washington Times so that when it dutifully reports on the allegations (as it did today) Sharkansky can do a post announcing "Darcy Burner Makes the National News. Ouch."
And there you have it: Aspersions cast, doubts raised, a "national story" created, and all of it just in time for Reichert's campaign kickoff next Tuesday!

So I'm back from Maine, and already I am wishing I had time for a run out to Russo's New York Coal-Fired Pizzeria.
The sliced sausage and red onion pie at Russo's New York Coal-Fired Pizzeria.
The coal-fired sausage and red onion pizza, up close.
Instead I am just going to have to content myself with staring at a couple of photographs I took of my favorite sliced sausage and red onion pizza, an example of the simpler-is-better principle for ordering here.
I was going to set one of these photos as my desktop background, but I realized if I did I would never get any work done. Too Pavlovian.
I haven't forsworn my allegiance to the thin, high-style Italian pies at Marco Wiles's Dolce Vita Pizzeria Enoteca, but there's something about the no-nonsense, blue-collar appeal of the Russo's Coal-Fired pies that calls to me, even from 25 miles away.
And boy, was I happy to see in the comments section of my Russo's Coal-Fired restaurant review last week that the owners went out and purchased two wine coolers, so now their reds will be served at cellar rather than room temperatures. It makes me even gladder to be home.

HANNIBAL, Mo. (AP) — A northeast Missouri man is dead after being struck by a tractor-trailer while walking on a highway.
The Quincy (Illinois) Herald-Whig (http://bit.ly/1omn5pM ) reports that 45-year-old Kenneth L. Rosenburg of Hannibal died Wednesday night.
The Missouri State Highway Patrol says Rosenburg was walking on U.S. 36 in Hannibal when he was struck by the tractor-trailer driven by a Chicago man. It wasn't clear why Rosenburg was on the roadway.

The apartment was really nice and comfortable. All was clean and we missed nothing. We came as a group of four and there were more than enough sheets and towels for all of us. Because we did not want to come to close (at night) we brought our own inflatable mattress to have an additional bed and there was definetly enough space for that.
I wish I had such a nice apartment myself :-)
We came a little unprepaired to Odense, because we were just intending to visit a concert there. But our host Lisbeth prepared nice and useful information about Odense and Fünen, making our trip the perfect weekend.
Thanks a lot!
My wife and I recently stayed at Lisbeth's nice and comfy apartment. It was a beautiful apartment with all the necesssary facilities. As the advertisement says, it was really nice and comfy. It is located at a short distance from Odense center, and has a bus stop right in front of it. In regard to service, Lisbeth is very friendly. We enjoyed our stay very much, and give it the highest ratings.
Det her er en super dejlig lejlighed og Lisbeth er den perfekte vaert.
Det eneste der var en lille smule irriterende (naar man normalt bor paa landet) er trafikken. Der koerte biler/busser og lastbiler uden for stue vinduet fra kl 5 ca.
Mine boern laa dog i et andet vaerelse og de hoerte intet :)
Vi vil helt sikkert bruge det igen!

American Metalcraft has been creating innovative products for years, and this tapered pan is another design to make your business more efficient. This 7-3/4" Pizza Pan (CAR8) is made with a sharp edge that allows you to place sheeted dough over the pan and then cut it to an exact round diameter with a rolling pin or pie roller. The pizza dough can then be snugly pressed into the pan and the ends can be rolled over to make a canvas for any number of toppings. The pans are made from 14 gauge 1.5 millimeter aluminum, a metal that has great heat conducting abilities and is easy to clean. This 8 inch option is great for small and individual pies.

PITTSBURGH -- Here's a quick rundown of what to look for in Saturday's third-round games at Consol Energy Center:
No. 1 seed Syracuse (32-2) vs. No. 8 Kansas State (22-10), 12:15 p.m. ET
One looks like The Thinker, pensively holding his chin in his hand as he solves the world's mysteries from his courtside seat.
The other looks like The Incredible Hulk, his eyes narrowing and his veins popping as he flails at the world's inadequacies from the bench.
Turns out there's plenty of fire in Jim Boeheim and plenty of calm in Frank Martin.
We just don't see it.
"I think it's more behind closed doors,'' Syracuse junior James Southerland said of Boeheim. "He'll get after you if you make a mistake or if you're not playing hard, but honestly, with him, I think you worry more if he's not yelling at you.''
The man who has perfected the art of blasé, passing off even the biggest disturbance with a hand flick or shoulder shrug, has built his outer calm over inner fire in 36 years of coaching. Boeheim is the constant.
The players change. The zone gets tinkered, but the coach stays the same.
Like a strict parent, Boeheim can get his players' attention sometimes without raising his voice.
"I think the level of both of our intensities is high,'' Boeheim said. "[Martin] may show his level a little more than I do. You know, I wouldn't want him to be mad at me.''
But beneath the withering stare, Martin actually is one of the gentler souls in the game. Affable and easy going, he'll tell stories and poke fun at himself gladly.
On a recruiting visit to the home of Jordan Henriquez, Martin, a Cuban-American, started speaking in Spanish. Only Henriquez didn't speak it.
"I started rambling off in Spanish because that's my natural language,'' Martin said. "I could tell the way he's looking at me that something wasn't right. When I finished that great first three or four sentences, he looked at me and said, 'Coach, I don't speak Spanish.' You can imagine how I felt.''
As for the on-court act, one that he promised to try to improve this season when he memorably vowed to clean up his own salty language if his student section would do the same, Martin makes no apologies.
"I've got my own way of doing things,'' he said. "It was the way I was raised. I'm a little emotional. I'm not scared to show my emotion in public. Some guys are real emotional in private and they have a public personality. With me, what you see is what you get.''
Who to watch: Kansas State's Jamar Samuels. The Wildcats' second-leading scorer was in the witness protection program against Southern Miss, making just one free throw and worse, taking zero shots from the floor. That can't happen again. It puts too much pressure on Rodney McGruder and it doesn't lead to good results for K-State. In six of the Wildcats' 10 losses, Samuels failed to score in double digits.
But more critically in this particular game, Kansas State has to get some inside play against the Orange and try to establish Samuels against the replacements in the Syracuse lineup.
Syracuse's Kris Joseph. The Orange senior is the leading scorer and de facto leader, but hasn't played like that lately. From the Big East tournament to the NCAA tournament first round, Joseph is just 10-of-33.
That's got to change, a point of emphasis that even Boeheim has stressed, insisting that the Orange will only go as far as Joseph and Scoop Jardine take them.
What to watch: The 3-point line. Kansas State is not a very good 3-point shooting team, hitting only 34 percent from the arc and making just 5.6 per game. Syracuse played its way to this point with its defense, in particular its defense on the arc. Teams hit only 30 percent on average against the Orange.
Of course much of that was with Fab Melo in the lineup, when the big man's size allowed Syracuse to really stretch that zone. The Orange got back to that late against UNC Asheville, but that was after the Bulldogs already had done enough damage from the arc to make it a game.
K-State is going to have to drain some 3s in order to crack the zone, but the Orange are going to have to stretch wider, making the middle a little more vulnerable with Rakeem Christmas instead of Melo.
No. 2 seed Ohio State (28-7) vs. No. 7 Gonzaga (26-6), 2:45 p.m. ET
Asked how he thinks Ohio State, his third-round foe, views his team, Robert Sacre smiled.
He then rambled on about how the Buckeyes probably think his team is like the "United Nations, a bunch of guys from all over coming together to make it work,'' before concluding that he's certain the Buckeyes respected his team.
Which is true. Ohio State does respect Gonzaga.
But what Sacre danced around, what he wouldn't say is what everyone always thinks and says about the Zags: they're soft.
Big Ten equals brawn.
West Coast Conference equals finesses (a euphemism for soft).
"We played two Big Ten teams, Illinois and Michigan State, tough and came out of those, I think, showing who we were,'' Sacre said. "But everybody expected us to lose those games and everyone still expects us to lose now.''
The perception really is all wrong. The truth is, Ohio State scores more points than the Zags (75.1 to 74) and shoots better from the floor (48.6 percent to 47 percent), while soft Gonzaga actually outrebounds the Buckeyes (37.1 to 36.8)
And this soft team annually traverses the country to play just about anyone anywhere. Along with those two Big Ten games, Gonzaga this season played Notre Dame, Arizona, Butler and Xavier. Not exactly a pansy schedule.
"There's nothing we can do about it; it's the nature of the beast,'' Sacre said. "All we can do is play basketball.''
Which brings us to Saturday.
Ohio State will try to ground the more uptempo Zags into the ground and most figure Jared Sullinger and DeShaun Thomas will make life miserable for Elias Harris and Sacre.
If they can stand their ground, they might just be able to rewrite their own script.
Who to watch: Gonzaga's Harris, who could be the Zags' X factor. He has to keep track of OSU's Thomas, no easy task considering Thomas just went for a career-high 31, but Harris has the size and athleticism to make it interesting. More critical, with Kevin Pangos trying to get away from Aaron Craft and Sacre preoccupied by Sullinger, Harris needs to score.
Ohio State's William Buford. For the same reasons as Harris, Buford is an X factor for the Buckeyes. The team's third-leading scorer can be dominant (he dropped 29 on Purdue) and he can disappear (he came up with just four a night later against Michigan State). In this game, the senior needs to take charge and take advantage if he's left alone.
What to watch: The frontcourt battle will get a lot of attention, but the game might be won or lost in the backcourt. That's where Pangos will have to tango with Craft, one of the best defensive point guards in the game. Pangos has been a key offensive component for the Zags this season, averaging 13.8 points per game. They need him to score against the Buckeyes, but more critical, Pangos has to take care of the ball. He's cut down on his turnovers considerably in recent weeks but has had his share of rough nights against more physical guards -- coughing it up five times against Xavier and Tu Holloway, for example.

It was fun. Thanks for putting it together.
Thank you to everyone who came down to Moe Bar RTM, Fnarf and Mrs. Fnarf, Dan, Monique, Comte, Will, Catalina, Andrew, Dave, Wise Punk, Monkey Fist, Scary Tyler Moore, Rhett, Mr. Poe,
Or at least, that's what their name tags said.

No thank you. I suspect you all look

--- Jensen
Did Ecce Homo show up?
And Amy Kate, Mr Poe and I look nothing alike aside from being skinny brown haired gays with glasses,
Identical, in other words.
I took my boyfriend and we had a real good time... It was nice to do something other than the "regular" gay bars. I said hi to Ari Spool and Jonah Long Last Name Lee and the guy who does games and sports? it was loud and I didn't catch that one....
But we sat at the bar next to a guy who works at a video store near my house and talked movies.... It was pretty cool since movies are my thing.
I read slog every day....i'm kinda a lurker,, but it was cool to put faces to names since i follow the Project Runway blogs and some others... but it was even better to meet new people and get out... looked like lots of interesting people there...
thanks folks....
Um, excuse me, skinny brown haired guys with glasses? Want my phone number?
Opps, didn't see the gay part. Damn.
Blaire, you are both darling. It was dark in there and I was drinking, but I stand behind my judgment that you look a lot like a clean-shaven Mr. P.
@ Hey, Im desperate enough. And it will make Mom and Dad happy.
I will be there next month, ecce's sock-puppet can meet me there
you were all utterly charming, especially the gentleman who impersonated "tim keck" - what a hoot!
Also, it was a remarkably good looking group.
Apparently I have a bad reputation. I'm really not angry. There are no meds for me to forget to take. But it is gratifying to see that some have the impression that I'm perhaps, what's the term? Unhinged?
That Tim Keck is a very, very nice person. Gracious. Made me nervous at first but I think he's for real. Amy Kate Horn is charming. The Public Intern I didn't speak to (afraid). He's a rock star, you know?
Jonothan Golob is a very nice guy, and seems respectable. I have this statistics-related dispute with him that I still hold a grudge over. Maybe we can work that out. Am I the only one on Earth who read John Allen Paulos?
And there's the Sloggers like Monique and Poe. Sex bombs, more or less. Wait til' you're old, is all I can say. Oh yes, you jusst wait.
Yeah, the bouncer at Moe Bar demanded my ID suspiciously, then gave me that look that said, you're really fuckin well preserved, grandpa. Indeed. Very well preserved.
I'll be back.
Anyone think the Slog will be more or less interesting now that we are no longer complete Strangers, so to speak?
I don't know how I feel about elenchos. Fear. I suppose.
Woe... I was kept at work late... I'll make it in January.
Same bat place, same bat time?
Everyone was nice? Well, that's boring.
Hey, Abulafia, Meat Weapon, and I were over in a corner laughing hysterically at brandonj's jokes. I think Abulafia kidnapped MW to keep him from taking over the 36th District Democratic Precinct Organization.
And Nan was really in control of everything. It was, IMHO, the high point of the social season. Too bad the girls had to work.
Anne waggner and others just showed at Liberty - dont you think they should get their picture taken with Santa & post it?
Thank you to everyone who tried to help me find my wallet. Didn't find it, though.
I just left Moe. That was super fun, it was amazing to meet other Slog addicts face to face. Bellevue Ave and his awesome gf (who is not just B Ave's hand inside a spa glove, Fnarf, I talked with her for hours), and Will in Seattle, Original Andrew, Original Monique, Original Hernandez (that dude is CUTE), and a host of others. I like how all the lurkers came out to drink with us. Next time, I want to meet more of you!
Alcohol makes everything just a little bit easier, and that's my final comment on the matter.
I want to see photos. Any up at the flickr pool yet?
Rainman, I want to talk to you about religion next time.
Sorry, I had to cut out early, but hey, that sound insulation isn't going to put itself up into the ceiling of my theatre.
And Ari, I totally apologize if I was spreading spit, it was not intentional - I'll work on that for next time.
And to all of you who turned out, sorry I didn't get a chance to meet all of you - I'll be in less of a rush next time around.
On the other hand, Napoleon XIV - Vikings fucking RULE, dude!
Guess who works with my dad? GUESS?
your dad is Adrian Ryan? Me too!!!
Methinks you must've imbibed tonight.
It is true that I drank hella. but it is also true that one hilarious and abrasive employee of a certain company that specializes in beeple software also works alongside my own father. it is truly a christmas miracle.
seattle is mayberry but without barney fife
I have one word for tonight: JACKPOT!
my GF said that she isn't a glove but she loved the album "smell the glove"
Wow, sounds fun! Bellevue seems a trifle excited. ;)
he gets like that
Posted by Bellevue Ave | December 12, 2007 4:53 PM
Bellevue ave is rocking my world. HA.
I WAS there, I just didn't wear a name tag.
I'll leave it up to all you losers which one I was.
Hint: I was wearing pants.
:D I wanna come next time, if only to observe. I mostly lurk around, so I can just perpetuate that in real time. I just met Adrian the other day. He was very perky and excitable, much like his column. So, I suspect most people aren't all that different, unless our own subconscious reinterprets meanings for things.
Christ almighty... this sounds like it was a fucking nightmare!
I was TOTALLY going to go, but then I had to break up with my girlfriend. Tonight, of all nights.
Next time, though!
It was a very fun time. I got to spout off whatever jackass thing was in my head (thank you, beer), build a condo out of cards, and yap with a table full of Sloggers while Jonah live-Slogged it (so meta!). Also, I got a hug from Mr. Poe, and I don't really know what that was about, but it was nice.
a lovely time was had by all! the public intern is cute as a bug's ear! and so tiny! fnarf, i STILL want to have your children. and yes, katelyn, original hernandez is very cute. the highlight of the evening for me was discussing film with the estimate mr. mudede. i nearly plotzed!
and comte, i will buy the first copy of that book about the history of seattle theatre if you write it.
amy kate horn is BEAUTIFUL!
@29: Mr. Poe
I had fun. I had like 10 doubles and my tab was 10 bucks. Booyah.
Ecce, it would totally be like you to show up and not reveal yourself, you cowardly little shit.
It was nice to meet everyone.
I'm so "slungover" right now. I even woke up before the alarm clock went off.
Hahaha...It was an amazing night. I loved meeting everyone. Mr. Poe, just adorable. I probably gushed a little too much at Golob, but I think he is the cutest/smartest thing ever. Greg was soooo nice, I was glad we took over that table. =) I loved meeting Public Intern, such a cutie pie.
Bellevue Ave and his GF are AWESOME, as is Andrew, Katelyn, Comte, Fnarf, elenchos (and his wifey!), Scarey Tyler Moore, etc.
Jonah, Amy Kate, Annie, Ari, Charles...all rad. I loved meeting them.
I can't wait for next month, where hopefully I can be even more of a HUSSY!
(and inpregnate Poe, god willing)
monique, I would have said hi to you but I couldn't take my eyes off of your...nametag. Yeah, nametag. That's the ticket.
By the end of the night I was talking to Charles about when it's okay to cheat on your spouse. I think he was wasted because he kept giggling like a schoolgirl.
OMG, I totally forgot to give a shout-out to Blaire!
And I don't think he looks like Mr. Poe, but he is definately a sweetie.
Confidential to Bellevue Ave: Your GF is rad, that girl is a keeper. =)
@wisepunk....there is always next month. But I might have an even more revealing name-tag placement then....
Here's looking forward to January 10th! Had a great time talking to many of you, hope I get to meet the rest next time. And thanks for the compliment, Katelyn! You're my new favorite.
Confidential to Original Monique; she says thanks not only for the "being a keeper" but also yapping with me about housing woes. (she gets talked to about it on a daily basis by me...finally someone took the pressure off! THANKS!)
Sorry I missed it but I will be there in January.
pouting that i had to miss it; i was hosting my own xmas function last night...
ha, ha; i love bellevue ave drunk posting at 1am....drunk posting is almost as much fun as drunk dialing.
Didn't really talk to too many people, since I showed up late and had to leave early, but to those who I did, nice to meetcha. And since pretty much all of you couldn't stop talking about video games when I brought them up, maybe it's about time we get that Slog Gaming Night thing going, huh, Jonah?
Monique is awesome.
I work with bellevue's dad.
I was the coolest person there.
I'm late for work.
Napoleon is an adventurer.
Next time, Slog. Next time.
*ominous music*
Big mistake being the coolest, Poe. Too much pressure. Much better to be, say, the third or fourth coolest, which is where I come in.
It's hard being the coolest person everywhere you go. My life is not easy.
Fnarf (apparently pronounced fnarf, not f-narf - me=dipstick.) i never caught the name of that woman who was im.personat.ing a Mrs.. thank goodness though, good to chat with someone who knows music.
Good day 2 u(so Hot today!). i have to go home and change outfits. BYYYYEEE!!!!
I was there too. Guess I missed the meet and greet. Those Pear Naked Martinis are fabulous.
I was there - Original Monique was ultra sexy and I know Charles loved her house, Fnarf and Bellevue Ave (a guy, by the by) were cool, the Public Intern was very outgoing, and there were so many sexy women I'm on overload and babbling in ancient greek ... I especially liked meeting all the Lurkers and the Forum people.
So, we have to wait until January 10th, huh?
it was fun. next time i'll have to branch out and talk to someone other than carollani's girlfriend. the $2 beers were nice.
Let's see if i can get that Facebook link working for my name ...
I was there, but I couldn't find nametags anywhere. I mostly talked to Joh, though I had a nice conversation with Jibberish, and Jonathan Golob is my hero with whom I am currently in love, and I may have instigated that conversation with Charles about adultery. Overall it was a blast, I'll totally be there next time!
Aislinn brings up a good point - next time bring more nametags!
Hernandez helped me make my own nametag, I couldn't find the official ones either. Later, I got mocked in the bathroom by some gorgeous black lady for wearing my name on my chest.
@61 "I work with bellevue's dad."
Ha! I knew it. (see @46) Checking out the daddy-aged man was a dead give away.
I do likes me some daddy.
Hey nice talking with everyone, hope to do it again sometime in the near future.
@24: Sounds great, Katelyn. Nice talking to you last night, also Hernandez, Scary Tyler Moore, Rhett Oracle, Will, and Tim K. (Sorry if I left out anyone). Thanks Amy--see you next month.
Too bad one of my longest time friends in Seattle, Crow, was unable to be here due to her cancer treatments. We're pulling for you!

ARLINGTON, Mass. (November 18, 2013) Authorities weren't saying much Monday after two infants and two adults were found dead at a home in the Boston suburb of Arlington, Mass.
Authorities released few details about the deaths Monday, but did say that they aren't looking for suspects and that there is no reason for the public to be alarmed.
Police Chief Frederick Ryan called it a very troubling event for the community, but said there is no safety risk and residents can go about their business.
Middlesex County prosecutor Marian Ryan says no more details are being released because police are still working on notifying relatives.
There was a heavy police presence outside the two-family home in a quiet residential neighborhood.

Forecasters: Heat wave spreading into WNC this week
Published: Monday, July 5, 2010 at 2:20 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, July 5, 2010 at 2:20 p.m.
RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — Forecasters say the heat wave gripping the northeast U.S. is poised to move south into North Carolina this week.
Several places across the state enjoyed record or near-record lows in the 50s and 60s at the start of the Independence Day holiday weekend. But the high pressure system that brought the cool weather has moved east, bringing heat and humidity back.
By Wednesday, highs should be approaching 100 across much of the state, with areas in the mountains around 90.
The humidity will be rising, making it feel several degrees hotter.
It already has been a warm summer in North Carolina. Raleigh and the Triad reported their hottest June in a number of decades.

YAC by Sunflowerhead SoftwareFree
Publisher's description

This utility can also notify programs called YAC Listeners on the network. These listeners receive and display Caller ID information at the same time as the computer attached to the phone line. YAC can be used to send text messages to the listeners on your network as well.

Here's the correct description.
Yet Another Cleaner, popularly known as YAC, is excellent software for PC maintenance and optimization, a rich suite of tool that's free, multilingual, and suitable for any level of user.
Yet Another Cleaner takes care of your system, keeping it clean, fast, and safe from any possible danger.
From the Home section, you have a general overview of the state of your computer. From there, you can run an analysis for fast optimization of your PC.
YAC will clean your system from unnecessary files, invalid registry entries, caches, browser history, and much more. It also helps locate and resolves browser hijacking, removes adware, and detects possible malware infections.
It will also examine any installed plugins and detect any potentially dangerous or malicious apps, helping you remove them if necessary.
Using the System Boost option can speed up your PC by optimizing the processes running automatically in Windows startup, as well as adjust memory and Internet connection settings.
Even further, the menu includes an optimization function, a history of system reboots, a software manager to track and uninstall rarely used programs (if you agree), a network monitor, and much more.
Finally, Yet Another Cleaner includes a handy widget with two functions: the first allows you to visually monitor and close the processes that take up valuable RAM, while the second runs a speed test on your connection and advises which software is consuming the most bandwidth.
The app features a clean and beautiful interface, and on top of that, it's everything you could want in terms of usability: the individual sections are listed in the left-hand column, while the features in each category are very clear and well explained.
The number of tools offered in YAC is great, but the simplicity of the program makes it suitable for the less experienced user.
YAC is an optimization program that's surprisingly comprehensive, able to clean every part of your PC to a high standard.
The performance is also top-notch: the analysis speed is great, the resource consumption is low, and the software proves easy enough to use by even the most inexperienced users.
Yet Another Cleaner is a highly recommended solution for cleaning, speeding up and securing your PC, a completely free suite without annoying advertising that has nothing to envy from paid solutions like TuneUp Utilities.

Yesterday the scientific community suffered a tragic loss, and the stars shone a little brighter, as Patrick Moore passed away on Sunday in his home in Selsey, England. At 89 years old, Moore was an accomplished scientist, author, researcher and eccentric television host. His astronomy program on BBC, called "The Sky at Night", has been on the air since 1957 and he has published many essays, interviews, and more than 70 books on the topics of science, astronomy and space exploration. With a brilliant and imaginative mind, a love of teaching and learning and a respected and cherished television voice, Mr. Moore will be sorely missed.
Patrick Alfred Caldwell-Moore was born in the small village of Pinner in Middlesex, England on March 4th, 1923. Born with an avid curiosity and yearning for knowledge he was a voracious reader from an early age, even though heart problems often kept him from attending school regularly. At the young age of 13 Moore published a paper about the Moon, something that many people never achieve in a lifetime, and set up his own observatories. In World War II, Moore joined a bomber squadron and served his country despite his own health problems, admitting that he "wasn't 100 percent honest about my age or fitness".
Always a tad eccentric, Moore was known for wearing a monocle, ill-fitting suits and playing the xylophone. His eccentricities however are largely shadowed by his countless successes and contributions to the scientific community and the world.
On 26 April 1957, at 10:30 pm, the first episode of "The Sky at Night" aired, and Moore discussed the Comet Arend–Roland. In the television shows 55 years on air, Moore had countless legendary guests and interviewed the giants of aeronautics, space exploration and science. It is believed that Moore was the only person to have met the first man to fly, Orville Wright, as well as the first man in space, Russian cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin, and the first man on the moon, the late Neil Armstrong. The latest episode of the show aired on the day of Moore's passing, Sunday December 9th.
In Moore's lifetime, in addition to his research and television work, he published over 70 books on astronomy, up until as recently as 2008. "Bang! The Complete History of the Universe", published in 2008, was written by Moore, an astrophysicist named Chris Lintott and the guitarist from Queen, Brian May.
Moore's family and friends are deeply saddened by his passing, and had many kind words to share. "After a short spell in hospital last week, it was determined that no further treatment would benefit him, and it was his wish to spend his last days in his own home, Farthings, where he today passed on, in the company of close friends and carers and his cat Ptolemy. Over the past few years, Patrick, an inspiration to generations of astronomers, fought his way back from many serious spells of illness and continued to work and write at a great rate, but this time his body was too weak to overcome the infection which set in a few weeks ago. He was able to perform on his world record-holding TV Programme "The Sky at Night" right up until the most recent episode. His executors and close friends plan to fulfil his wishes for a quiet ceremony of internment, but a farewell event is planned for what would have been his 90th birthday in March 2013."
Queen guitarist Brian May also expressed his sadness at the loss of his colleague and friend. "Patrick was the last of a lost generation, a true gentleman, the most generous in nature that I ever knew, and an inspiration to thousands in his personal life, and to millions through his 50 years of unique broadcasting. It's no exaggeration to say that Patrick, in his tireless and ebullient communication of the magic of astronomy, inspired every British astronomer, amateur and professional, for half a century. There will never be another Patrick Moore. But we were lucky enough to get one."
In 2001, Moore was knighted. He never married and had no children. In 1953, Moore published a novel titled "A Guide to the Moon" in which he expressed his longing for life to be found on the cratered surface, and predicted a full 16 years before Neil Armstrong and his team made their landing, that man would one day explore its rocky exterior. Moore also had hoped that the first landing would be made "not by Britain, by America or by Russia, but by representatives of a United Earth". While this did not happen, Moore was still an influential and creative mind that helped to bring together scientists, astronauts, astronomers and ordinary people all over the world together in the pursuit of knowledge and exploration of the universe.

Owensboro Museum of Fine Art expands and enhances the cultural environment of the region through a permanent collection of American, European and Asian fine and decorative arts dating from the 15th century to the present. Major traveling exhibitions, visual and performing arts, interpretive events and educational programs for children and adults occur throughout the year.
May 14 to July 24, 2016
A LIVING LANGUAGE, an exhibition of more than 100 works of art by Br. Martin Erspamer, OSB, a monk of St. Meinrad Archabbey, Indiana, is featured at the Owensboro Museum of Fine Art, May 14 to July 24. A public gallery talk by the artist is scheduled for 2:30 p.m., Sunday, May 15.
A nationally recognized liturgical artist, Erspamer has designed stained glass installations in dozens of Roman Catholic and Protestant churches across the country and is a frequent consultant for religious communities.
Erspamer was a designer for Emil Frei Stained Glass Studios, St. Louis, Mo., the company whose Munich studio created the stained glass windows at the turn of the 20th century for the former St. Joseph Church in Owensboro. These windows are now owned by the Owensboro Museum of Fine Art which constructed a special wing in 1994 to permanently display the collection.

The Michael E. Horn Family Foundation
ARTLAND, an exciting new dimension in education, is an interactive art studio created especially for children ages 4 to 10. It is a special place designed to challenge and stimulate the imagination while allowing children to create works of art at their own pace.
ARTLAND features an art laboratory fully equipped with supplies and materials for making works of art and is complemented by child-sized easels and tables. Instruction for seasonally-themed projects is provided by art students from area colleges and ARTLAND is FREE and open to all.
The dramatic growth and development of the Owensboro Museum of Fine Art in its first 40 years has enhanced Owensboro's quality of life by its contributions to education, economic development and cultural tourism.
In just four decades, it has become recognized as a regional center for the visual arts, and its programming offers excellence in arts and culture of a quality not usually found outside major urban centers.
The generosity of Owensboro's corporate, private and public sectors has enabled it to become the second largest art museum in Kentucky and a premiere educational resource for Western Kentucky.
With the continued support of local corporations, philanthropic families and elected officials, the museum will continue building a legacy for future generations.
Contributions from Friends of the Foundation support educational programs for area schools, special entertainment events for families, exhibitions, preservation of the art collection and the historic facility, and help keep the museum open and free to the public six days a week.
Friends of the Foundation receive discounts on museum activities, classes and Gift Shoppe purchases, as well as invitations to gala previews and special events.

I am very new to linux so please forgive any ignorance. I setup a VPS using Ubuntu 10.04, apache2, mySQL, and PHP.
Everything has worked perfectly except for two things:
1: my IP address is assigned to Germany (we are in the US)
2: my Google Chrome Sniffer (it places an icon in the address bar with helpful hints as to what programs the websites uses: analytics, wordpress, etc...) is no longer working on my site.
Are these two 'problems' even problems? If so, I would love your input!
My Chrome Sniffer 'problem' is not really a problem for me at all, I just wonder if it is a sign of a problem??

Feast your ears on the latest piece of infuriated gloom from the Wolf Eyes camp. The second peek at their upcoming full-length, I Am A Problem: Mind In Pieces is called "T.O.D.D." and it's now streaming over at NPR's All Songs Considered. It's a song inspired by the life and work of Tod Dockstader, the mastermind musique concrète composer who passed away while the album was being recorded. Just another taste of majesty to ease the common ache. The first single, "Enemy Ladder" is now available HERE and it includes the equally stunning anti-groove anthem of "Dull Murder 2" as an exclusive, non-album b-side. It's my personal favorite and it's TRIP METAL APPROVED.
According to Viking's Choice at NPR: "T.O.D.D." sounds like a crumbling Velvet Underground bootleg that's been burned to ashes and smeared into Pentagram frontman Bobby Liebling's banshee eyeliner. Now two years after declaring noise over ("Completely, 100 percent"), here Wolf Eyes embraces the metallic side of its self-christened genre/lifestyle "trip metal" with a washed-out, doomy guitar buried under a monotone chant and the most primal kick drum imaginable."
Well, I'm not sure I could have said it any better myself. This will hold us over until the next wave of unreleased material is posted on to the Wolf Eyes Bandcamp. I wonder what else they have planned… In the meantime, head over to All Songs Considered...
In case you missed it, here is The Dead Weather's performance of "I Feel Love (Every Million Miles)" (off their upcoming record DODGE AND BURN) from last night on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert below:
Finally, a kick-ass video game based on poetry rather than FIFA or Seal Team 6. Now all you gamers out there can experience what pixilated, dark haired poet Sampson Starkweather experiences: PAIN. So, no more can society argue that video game culture has usurped activities such as reading. Play the game. Taste the PAIN. Then, inflict more PAIN on your-self-abusing-selves, sitting in your dark rooms, cathode blue computer colored faces, still arguing Atari vs Intellivision, or the processing power of this-or-that latest console, and Pre-order PAIN: The Board Game by Sampson Starkweather, the fourth title from Third Man Books.

"[Starkweather's] poetry is so real, so stunning, so emotionally accurate and strange…I find with each poem I'm laughing out loud. But also putting my hand over my heart, in a futile effort to keep the damn thing still." —Bianca Stone, author of Someone Else's Wedding Vows

The Dead Weather have released the first of four technique and instrument-based videos. This first episode features drummer Jack White demonstrating the details of his drum kit within the context of the band's 2009 debut single, "Hang You From The Heavens." Jack White designed the kit himself and the incredible team at Ludwig Drums attacked the build with vigor, creating a very unique trap kit. The White-directed video concludes with a live drumming performance of "Hang You From The Heavens," with an alternate drum beat to highlight the techniques discussed and showcase the band's inner workings during live performances. The band and Third Man Records will release three more videos, each highlighting the member's specific instruments and a different song from the band's career, including tracks from their forthcoming album Dodge and Burn. Watch Jack's video now on Modern Drummer.
Dodge and Burn - the band's third album and first full-length release in five years - is available for pre-order now, with all digital pre-orders receiving an instant grat download of "I Feel Love (Every Million Miles)." The track is also on sale now at digital retailers worldwide.
