The room was fairly inexpensive.
Rooms smelled like smoke everywhere, even though I had specifically asked for a non-smoking room. The shower ran all night as the water could not be properly shut off. My room had cheesy 70's style paneling on the wall, even though I saw in some other rooms through the window and they were nicer. The desk clerk had given me a line of bull about mine being the room he would choose to live in if he was going to live on premesis, and obvious fabrication just to get me into the worst room. The rug needed vacuuming. I just kept the lights low because I didn't want to see any more.
The hotel is definitely worth it for the cost! It has a clean gym, a fridge/microwave in the room, and the bathroom was clean and the entire hotel was well kept.
The bed was not extremely comfortable.
Have stayed at this motel several times. Always had good service and the personnel has given us excellent service.
nothing at this past stay.
Staff was very friendly and the helpful. The restaurant has excellent food! Would totally go back there! A great experience!
There was a bad smell when we first walked in the lobby, but it went away later. Also, the bar is right off the lobby and it didn't have a very private feel. There was no music playing either, which takes away from the 'bar feel'.
Great people at the front desk. Very friendly and professional. I love that u get free breakfast, real breakfast not that continental crap.
The room was slightly smaller than I would have liked. It's very compact. But it's nice and clean.

Celebrating Claire McCardell
By CONSTANCE C. R. WHITE
Published: November 17, 1998
Staring out from a photograph taken when she was a young woman, Claire McCardell resembles the ideal her fashions would come to embody: an easy, confident, athletic American woman, free and optimistic. McCardell's work is the subject of an exhibition that opened recently at the Museum at the Fashion Institute of Technology.
At the same time, McCardell is no mere historical curiosity. Her spirit was inescapable in the spring 1999 collections shown by designers like Anna Sui, Cynthia Rowley and Yeohlee.
Yet, it is easy to understand why Valerie Steele, the chief curator at the F.I.T. museum, was at first a reluctant booster of McCardell. By themselves, her designs are underwhelming, lacking the grandeur or panache of McCardell's contemporaries from the 1940's and 50's like Norman Norell, Christian Dior or even Coco Chanel. Diana Vreeland, the fashion editor, who became a champion of McCardell, once described a McCardell dress as pathetic.
The clothes must be thought of in their historical context -- designs stretching back 40, 50 and even 60 years to an age of stiff crinolines, padded shoulders and the dominance of French style. Then, and only then, does McCardell look like the revolutionary she was.
Earlier this year, her designs were featured in the ''American Ingenuity'' show at the Costume Institute of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. But the F.I.T. exhibition, ''Claire McCardell and the American Look,'' which runs through Jan. 9, is an unusual and welcome focus on her alone.
Ranging over McCardell's career, the show includes illustrations from 1927 and 1928, when McCardell, just starting out, sketched a generic 20's look, to clothes of the 1950's, when she was a star recognized for signature styles she called ''McCardellisms.''
Further explanation is provided by a timely book, ''Claire McCardell: Redefining Modernism'' (Harry N. Abrams) by Kohle Yohannan and Nancy Nolf. Mr. Yohannan, a teacher at Parsons School of Design, is also the curator of ''Claire McCardell: Forging an American Style,'' which opened Oct. 8 and runs through April 18 at the Maryland Historical Society, in Baltimore, in McCardell's birth state.
From the 1930's through 50's, McCardell's casual, modern clothes urged women toward greater freedom and flexibility in fashion and promoted an esthetic that Americans can now claim as their own. Through McCardell, fashion kept abreast of changes like jazz, realism, women's war-time emancipation and an optimistic postwar nationalism. ''We look at her as the founder of democratic American fashion,'' Ms. Steele said.
McCardell's influence on contemporary fashion is both conceptual and precise. What is remarkable about the outfits on display at F.I.T. is how appropriate many of them would be for today: an urban-looking pair of black wool leggings, hooded top and striped zippered anorak; an elegant brown one-shoulder column with twisted strap; shorts for bicycling, and an evening shirtdress of men's cotton ticking tied with a red sash.
''She was obviously a total tomboy and did a lot with men's clothes,'' Ms. Steele said.
A black cotton hooded coat with three patent-leather buckles down the front, which McCardell designed about 1949, is astonishingly up-to-date.
Defining the waist of an unconstructed dress with a sash or spaghetti strings tied around the waist or under the breasts became one of McCardell's signatures, allowing women, she proclaimed, greater freedom. Another style, the monastic or monk's dress, fell unfettered from the shoulders, suited every body shape and was a look McCardell would return to frequently.
In their book, Mr. Yohannan and Ms. Nolf recount how during World War II, a request to design a dress for newly busy housewives with responsibilities in and outside the home resulted in McCardell's first version of her famous popover dress. It was blue, had a surplice neckline and came with a matching oven mitt. ''It started as a wartime victory garden cover-up,'' McCardell later said.
It was an ingenious pairing of function and style, which marked McCardell's design philosophy. The popover was literally meant to be popped over a bathing suit, a pair of trousers or bare skin, or worn as a coat.
More impressive still, the dress sold in the thousands for $6.95 at a time when Norells, Mainbochers and Hattie Carnegies ran in the hundreds of dollars.
It was McCardell who laid the bedrock of today's sportswear by asking, What if ''a dress could be cut to pieces?'' And she popularized the ballet slipper as a shoe because of wartime rationing of leather.
She was not alone in her embrace of effortless, sports-inspired clothing. Tina Leser, Bonnie Cashin, Elizabeth Hawes and Tom Brigance were proposing these ideas, too. And earlier, of course, Paul Poiret and Chanel had dramatically freed women from restrictive clothing. But no one else took it as far.
McCardell spoke often and passionately about a need for clothes that fit an American woman's life style and athletic carriage. The sashes and wide, soft leather belts, which she said were inspired by kimonos or girdle belts worn by the ancient Greeks, were to avoid zippers and buttons.

For those of you kicking yourself for not snatching this year's premier dark horse (Colorado's Paul Stastny) in last summer's draft, here are three early candidates for next season.
Robert Nilsson, Edmonton Oilers
Of the three, Robert Nilsson presents the biggest risk. When he brings his 'A' game to the rink, the 22-year-old left winger can be one of the most creative prospects in the world. The problem is, as Islanders coach Ted Nolan would tell you -- he doesn't always bring his 'A' game.
Accused of being defensively irresponsible at times, Nilsson now has a clean slate to make a different impression. He was traded to the Oilers at the trade deadline in a deal that sent Ryan Smyth to the Islanders.
Nilsson will one day be an 85-point player. Whether that will happen in the NHL or the American League remains to be seen. Next season he's definitely a candidate to have a Stastny-esque 70-point campaign.
He is also a strong candidate to be cut out of training camp. The 15th overall pick in 2003 for the Islanders scored a goal in his Edmonton debut last week. And the Oilers hope there is more to come. All you can do this summer is draft him and hope this long shot pulls through for you.
Tomas Fleischmann, Washington Capitals
The 22-year-old Tomas Fleischmann was expected to crack the Washington roster this season, but after training camp it was decided he would be better served with another year with Hershey.
A left winger by trade, Fleischmann got some practice at playing right wing in the AHL, since that would be his best ticket back to Washington. Alex Ovechkin and Alexander Semin have secured the top two left wing spots on the big club, so learning the right side is a must.
A highly intelligent hockey player, Fleischmann has 85-point potential in the NHL. You may have noticed his four-point effort for the Caps Sunday against the Lightning -- he did that with less than 12 minutes of ice time.
More of a sure thing in terms of making the big club next season, Fleischmann will tally anywhere from 35-75 points. A big range to be sure, but it truly is dictated by how he establishes himself in training camp and how well he adapts to life as a right winger.
You can probably expect him to gain momentum as the season wears on, much like Stastny is doing right now.
Ryan Callahan, New York Rangers
My personal favorite of the three to emulate Stastny next year in terms of offensive production, Ryan Callahan would need a breakdown of epic proportions to not make the team in the fall. Judging by his career trajectory to date, this is unlikely to happen.
Drafted 127th overall in 2004 by the Rangers, Callahan improved dramatically in 2005-06 as an overage player for Guelph of the Ontario League.
His number skyrocketed when it mattered the most, though -- the playoffs -- putting up nearly two points per game. That sort of progression is expected of a 21-year-old in junior hockey, but Callahan really took a step forward this season in the AHL, compiling 55 points in 60 contests.
Steady improvement is the best measure of a fantasy hockey prospect when tracking him through the minor leagues. Callahan has shown it and should become a 65- or even 75-point right winger who will also give fantasy owners 100 PIMs a season at the NHL level.
Judging by his impressive, albeit brief, NHL stint -- he scored twice Saturday against the Bruins in his fourth NHL game -- this could happen next year.

The Wallabies are in Cardiff preparing to face Wales in the
final Test of their European tour on Saturday.
Mitchell was asked if he was surprised to learn about the
news this week from Australia that Cooper was putting his
rugby career on hold to be a boxer.
"To be honest no one here's really talking about it. I guess
it's been going on for a little while and it's his decision,"
Mitchell told AAP.
"But we've got something a little bit more important to worry
about ... which is this weekend and that's where our energy
will be going to."
The controversial Wallabies playmaker this week reiterated he
would not sign a downgraded incentive-based ARU contract and
was putting his rugby career on hold for a charity boxing
debut in February.
Relations between Cooper and the Australian Rugby Union
looked to have collapsed with agent Khoder Nasser revealing
"a total communication breakdown" between the two parties.
The Wallabies are desperate to finish off their four-game
tour in style and send retiring skipper Nathan Sharpe out a
The 28-year-old Mitchell, who has battled injuries for the
past two years and was facing an early end to his career,
made just his first start for the Wallabies in 13 months in
last Saturday's 22-19 win over Italy in Florence.
He's not sure if he'll start against Wales but Mitchell is
just pleased to get some regular rugby in after playing in
two of the three tour matches so far.
"To get back and to be able to and train fully and be
selected on this tour was great. From being where I was only
a couple of months ago when I was told that I wouldn't play
again to then being involved in the Wallaby environment on
tour is pretty special," Mitchell said.

This is a wonderful sauce. It reminds me of the sauce you get with spring rolls in Thailand. Thanks!
My mom makes this in a large batch and always shares it with me... however she doesn't ever measure anything so it is almost impossible to replicate her results on my own. When I showed her this recipe, she said it was very close to her own... I think the taste it very very authentic!!! I love to dip grilled Thai chicken into this sauce and also my eggrolls. This sauce is so easy to throw together and keep on hand. Far superior to the bottled sauces out there. Thanks for sharing!
Great recipe. Makes a fabulous sauce, which tastes as though it was made by a professional. I made a half-quantity, which yielded enough for a small jar in the fridge and a small bowlful for immediate use. This would make an excellent and unusual small gift. Reviewed for Pick A Chef, Fall 2007.

T02246 DRAWING OF SOLDIERS c.1900
Not inscribed.
Indian ink and soft chalk on paper, 7 5/8 × 9 3/8 (19.2 × 24)
Uncovered during remounting of Ospovat, No.4367, 1977
In the process of remounting 'Jog on, Jog on, the Footpath Way' (an illustration from The Winter's Tale), which was being treated in the Conservation Department, this drawing was discovered between two cardboard supports. It is a preliminary sketch for another engraved illustration, published in Shakespeare's Songs (John Lane, 1901), facing page 66. The illustration is to Iago's song in Act II, Scene III of Othello, and shows Iago and Cassio together. The text, printed on the next page, is as follows:
'And let me the canakin clink, clink;
And let me the canakin clink;
A soldier's a man;
A life's but a span;
Why, then, let the soldier drink.'

Wind noise
Our 2003 Southwind has a lot of wind noise when driving around 65 mph. It sounds like it is coming from over the windshield area, rather than the side windows. We had a 2001 Southwind that was extremely quiet at highways speeds, other than motor noise when climbing steep grades. Does anyone have any ideas that I might try to reduce some of the noise. I already shot 12 cans of expanding foam above and behind the cabinets over the windshield, but it had little effect.

Brake Buddy won't stay put
Thanks again for all of your support on this topic. I came up with a solution. I duplicated Bumpy's solution and built a small device out of plywood that braces against the seat and covered it with carpeting to protect the interior trim. It works perfect now.

Dinghy Towing
Brake Buddy won't stay put
I recently bought a Jeep Liberty to tow behind my motorhome. I used to tow a Chevy Tracker with a Ready brake system. This time I bought a used Brake Buddy to use in the Liberty. Today I tried to set it up for the first time. Whenever I hit the test button it jumps all over the place. It does not hit the seat squarely no matter how I position the back stop, and when it releases it jumps off the floor and goes toward the brake pedal(I mean it pulls itself to the brake pedal instead of pushing it). I followed the directions, but I must be doing something wrong. Any comments? Thanks in advance.

I think I ruptured my fresh water tank
I'm the OP on this thread. Thank you all for your comments and advice. I ended up pulling out both tanks. I pressurized them both with air and found no leaks. What I did find was the drain pipe was just VERY loosely turned into the threaded port on the front tank. I was unable to see where it connected to the tank to see if that was where the leak was. Hard to explain, but apparently it was never tightened at the factory and only the pipe dope was keeping it from leaking until I accidentally overfilled the tanks and put an excessive amount of pressure on the system. Anyway.....I was able to fix it myself. Thankfully!! :) :)

I think I ruptured my fresh water tank
Thanks for all the comments. I have the rear tank out now and it is fine. I don't know how to post a picture.....but the leak is not from the top of either tank, nor is it from any of the hose connections. The water seems to be emanating from somewhere mid point along the driver's side of the front tank, where I can't see. It holds water up to about the 3/4 mark. Thank again.... Oh...and unfortunately, now that I have the rear tank out I can see that the front tank is about twice as long as the rear and is the full width between the frame rails.....so I will not be able to maneuver it out the small access hole where I removed the rear tank.......This does not look good.

General RVing Issues
I think I ruptured my fresh water tank
Thank you guys for your suggestions. This morning I got under the RV with both front slides out. I was able to locate a removable panel on the side of the water tank compartment. Inside I see a small tank about 30 to 36 inches long connected with a hose at the bottom to another tank to the front of it. The fresh water fill hose is connected at this end. I can't see enough to know whether there are two more tanks or one more tank. About 9 or 10 feet forward of this tank, through my front cargo bay door there is a small hole where I can see the front end of another fresh water tank, where the drain valve attaches. That 30 to 36 inch rear tank that is visible can easily be removed through the access panel that I have open without any problem, but I wonder whether the tank or tanks ahead of it will fit through the same hole??? Has anyone else with a 2003 Southwind 36B or something similar had any experience with this? I have taken a number of pictures by sliding my digital camera around the tank to see that all of the connections on top of the visible part of the tank are intact and dry. My next move is to drain the tanks and start trying to remove them.

General RVing Issues
I think I ruptured my fresh water tank
I think I really caused a big problem for myself today. This is my recently purchased 5th motor home, but I never had a problem like this before. Each of my other motor homes had an overflow on their fresh water tanks. This morning I connected my hose to the water tank fill port and waited to see water coming out of an overflow under the RV when the tank was full. Apparently this one (2003 Southwind 36B) is different. I doesn't have an overflow. When I checked to see if the tank was full I heard a slight popping noise followed by water coming out of seams around the tank enclosure under the RV. Now I don't know how I can access the tank to see what needs to be done to make a repair. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

General RVing Issues
36' gasser towing a 4600 pound mini van
Willald, Thank you for your insight. The van in question is my 2012 Town and country Limited. I would have to have a lube pump installed, and I'm familiar with the rest of the requirements for towing. I'm mostly concerned about home taxing that load will be on the 310 HP V10. Thanks again

36' gasser towing a 4600 pound mini van
Has anyone towed a 4600 pound mini van through mountains with a 36' class A gasser with the 310 HP Ford V10? We towed our Chevy Tracker over all kinds of mountains with our former 35' gasser, but I'm afraid towing the van might be a little too much. I sold my diesel pusher and my Tracker, thinking I was done with RVing, but I got the bug again when I came across a beautiful low mileage 2003 Southwind with the 310 HP Ford V10 and I bought it. I would like to tow my van, but I'm afraid it might be too heavy. Any advice would be welcomed.

Is anyone towing a Chrysler minivan?
Thank you busyguy for your input. I wonder if anyone has put a lube pump on a later model T&C with the 6 speed transmission. I read somewhere that there might be problems using the Remco pump on the 2008 and newer models with the 6 speed trans.

Is anyone towing a Chrysler minivan?
I just bought a really nice 2008 Town and Country Limited. I know that the owner's manual says that it is not towable 4 down, but Remco offers a lube pump and other items needed for towing that vehicle. Does anyone have any experience towing one of these with a transmission lube pump installed? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Illustrated Poster
After helping to break the drought of over 12 years of non-sold-out festivals in 2013, the pressure was on for a successful encore for the 2014 Virginia Cantaloupe Festival. Putting our creative minds together in a marathon brainstorming session, we created the theme You've Got Friends in Lope Places and introduced a character we created named Lope.
Illustration and Animation
For as long as we've been working with the tourism office, director Linda Shepperd has wished for some type of animation that would let visitors "drive" around the county to discover things. Using animation that requires no special browser plugins, illustrator Erin Kipps Brown came up with a concept to treat the project like a theme park map. Requiring no special plugins, it can be displayed on all devices.
Social Media
When we were invited by Virginia's Department of Housing and Community Development to speak about marketing to Virginia Main Street Community directors from across the state, we needed something helpful to give them to take back to the office. Our Quicky Guide to Social Media ended up being quite a hit! This poster is different from anything we've ever seen: It has dry erase blocks to let the user jot notes for planning their social media. The poster is 11"x17" - large enough to accommodate the dry erase blocks but small enough to not take up too much of the user's office wall.
Print Design
This 20-page 5-year Progress Report for Tourism Department is printed on high quality gloss paper of magazine quality. Presenting the progress made in an easy-to-digest manner helps Tourism stay accountable to funding sources.
We created the ad campaigns "Rugged Outdoors Meets Sophisticated Indoors" and "Discover the Possibilities" as a part of Halifax County Tourism department's rebranding project.
Shop Local
shop local
We created a Shop Local website for Virginia's largest geographic economic development region. Shoppers can buy from multiple vendors in one transaction, proceeds are distributed automatically into vendors' payment accounts, and each vendor receives their own order information.
Southern Virginia Regional Alliance required a new site to replace one that was developed in 2011. Since they lacked a good library of relevant photographs, our design uses minimal photography combined with animated odometer-style statistics and clear traffic funnels for targeted visitors.
Historic Belfield is a national historic district located in the city of Emporia, Virginia. We created a site to help promote the district to prospective businesses as well as visitors. Site features include an interactive map with filterable categories, and a business directory.
custom development
This custom Instagram module lets the clients display photos with specific hashtags that they have liked on their Instagram account. This provides fresh content on a site while giving the client full control over what displays. It's a win-win campaign since local businesses who use the client's hashtag can gain great exposure for themselves.
West Piedmont Workforce Investment Board is beginning an entrepreneur initiative with goals to increase awareness of the importance of entrepreneurialism and to promote entrepreneurial concepts to youth and potential entrepreneurs. We created this infographic to help them communicate statistical information about entrepreneurship, including the economic impact, demographics, sources of training, and students who plan to start a business some day.
Fact Sheets
fact sheets
As a part of the Halifax County IDA rebranding project, the organization needed a one-sheet data flyer for prospects. The piece is designed to present a good bit of data in a condensed format that provides a quick overview of the county, and integrated design elements extend the new branding identity.
Print Design
This magazine won an Award of Merit for Communication from the Southern Economic Development Council. Virginia's Growth Alliance is geographically the largest economic development region in Virginia. They provide a printed quarterly quality of life magazine to prospects; the magazine is printed on glossy paper that is of the quality you would find on a magazine rack. A low-res version is also available for download on their website and for distribution on usb's.
Annual Reports

Longwood Small Business Development Center serves 22 Southern Virginia counties and 6 cities, providing education, consulting, and economic research to support potential and existing small business owners. We created their first-ever Annual Report - 20 pages that included client success stories, new initiatives, partnerships information, and financial information. Deliverables included print-ready files, low resolution pdf files for download, and an online interactive flipping book.
And when you need more than design...
You may have years of experience but you still can't know everything. Sometimes you need that extra oomph to reach your goals.
Yep, the old saying is correct - if you don't know where you're going, you won't know when you get there. Sometimes you're just too close to your work and need an outsider to
help find your way
Stop doing the same tasks over and over. Waste less time and close more deals. Implement

You may know what you're supposed to do, but that doesn't mean you do it.

Who owns the pictures you post on social media?
PHOENIX - What good is social media without pictures?
It's one of the best parts of having access to websites like Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.
But it comes with a sacrifice of privacy and control of your pictures.
A report on tech site Mashable.com says by joining Facebook, you give the site "permission to use your photos and videos for whatever it wants."
While Facebook's terms and conditions state "privacy is very important to us." It also says with photos and video, "you grant us a non-exclusive, transferable, sub licensable, royalty-free, worldwide license to us any IP content that you post."
Instagram says basically the same thing.
Twitter says it makes content "available to other companies, organizations or individuals who partner with Twitter for the syndication, broadcast, distribution or publication"
Translation: you may still own the pictures you post, but you certainly don't control them.
Protecting yourself is common sense. Assume everything you post is public, and think twice before you post.
Much of the caution has to do with kids photos.
Facebook offers privacy settings where you can limit the people who see those photos. Only a select group can share the latest kid pics and news.
Regardless of your settings, this is a reminder: if it's something you don't want the world to see, don't put it up.

During the holidays, many moms and dads are juggling the demands of work and parenting as usual, complicated by an overcharged social schedule and the additional tasks of creating a joyful experience that will find a treasured place in their child's memory. Grandparents, aunts, uncles, and other relatives, on the other hand, may be more available to relax and experience the season through the eyes of children. For many relatives, part of the fun is selecting a new toy or book and watching the child's (hopefully) happy reaction to the gift.
But how do you know what to choose for a child you may see only a few times a year? Or a child who seems to have everything already? Or a child whose parents are very fussy about what toys they prefer for her?
One strategy is to bypass the large discount stores and stop by your locally owned neighborhood toy store. Most of these stores compete with "the big guys" by focusing on superior service and expert assistance in matching up the child you describe with a toy that will fit his age, abilities, interests, and home environment.
Here are a few other suggestions for selecting good toys for grandchildren, nieces, and nephews:
1) Focus on the features of the play a toy encourages, rather than on the features of the toy. Think about what the child can do, rather than what the toy can do.
2) Let the child's abilities and interests guide your toy choices, not advertising or the popularity of the toy.
3) Look for toys that let the child "make up the story"—toys that leave room for the child to use his imagination in how he plays with the toy. Try to find open-ended products that offer lots of possibilities for different ways to play.
4) Offer an array of toys and activities that encourage your child to use and explore all developmental domains: physical; cognitive; sensory; speech and language; social and emotional.
5) Remember that kids learn and have fun with all kinds of play materials—as long as they are safe, many everyday objects can become the toy of the moment. Toys don't have to be expensive or even purchased at a store.
6) Find a gift that is designed to help you share play time together. Play is a wonderful way to build relationships, and just think how much the parents will appreciate a break during such a busy time. Depending on the child's age, games, puzzles, books, and craft kits can be good choices.
7) Consider toys and activities that offer a glimpse into childhoods past. If you hold a treasured memory of your grandmother making a toy with you or playing a particular game with you, why not pass that part of your personal history along to your grandchild or niece or nephew?

SDCC: "Thor: Ragnarok" Props Confirm "Planet Hulk" Elements
Film, Comic Books
Happy Father's Day and welcome to What Are You Reading?, where each week we talk about what comics and other stuff have been on our reading piles. Today's guests are two of the contributors to Skullkickers #18, which features several "Tavern Tales" short stories by different creative teams. Joining us today are Charles Soule of 27, Strange Attractors and Strongman fame, and Aubrey Sitterson, winner of the Skullkickers Tavern Tales Contest. He's also the writer of Gear Monkey for Double Feature Comics and community manager for WWE Games.
To see what Charles, Aubrey and the Robot 6 crew have been reading, click below.

The Bus by Paul Kirchner — This is a collection of strips that originally ran in Heavy Metal magazine back in the late '70s and (I think) early '80s. As the title suggests, it's about a bus, and the middle-aged, balding man that continually waits for it. Kirchner takes a surreal approach to the material, however, playing with the format and expectations. A bus runs over a bug, but then a giant bug squashes the bus. The bus blows a tire, and the entire bus deflates. The man leaves the bus, walks up the stairs into his room and finds … he's back on the bus. And so forth. What makes these strips work — and they do work, quite well, actually — is a) Kirchner's deadpan approach, and b) his cinematic, storyboard approach, slowly teasing the action out until the joke becomes apparent. I could easily see these strips being adapted into, say, short cartoons, though I think they work exceedingly well as comics, and I'm glad for the opportunity to be introduced to this material.
Wowee Zonk by various — This is an anthology of Canadian artists published by Koyama Press. The work in here varies pretty wildly from the excellent to the really awful. Among the highlights are a two-page "Blobby Boys" strip by Alex Schubert, a seemingly nonsensical but nevertheless disturbing piece by Adam Buttrick, a lovely examination of Islamic iconography by Andrei Georgescu and a fantasy journey-style strip by Chris Kuzma. These exemplary pieces made the bad stuff easier to tolerate.
Tales Designed to Thrizzle #8 by Michael Kupperman — A pretty solid issue overall, the best and funniest part being the opening segment, a parody of coloring books, this time involving trains that … well, it's not fit for polite conversation, really. There's also an amusing Murder, She Wrote parody that paints poor old Jessica Fletcher as a homicidal monster, and the deliciously weird "Moon 69″ story, which was serialized on Fantagraphics' website. The only dud in the bunch is a famous soldier that used his sword like a scythe that really overstays its welcome. Otherwise it's all good.

I ashamedly admitted in this week's Food or Comics that I'm a late-comer to the Brian Wood oeuvre, but I'm correcting that with The Massive. I'm a sucker for sea-adventure stories and was especially looking forward to seeing Wood bring his reputation and sensibilities to that genre. As expected, he's filled his boat with fascinating characters, dangerous pasts and suspicious motivations. The mystery of the missing, titular ship is compelling in itself, but it's also interesting because these particular characters -– this environmentalist crew, most of them former mercenaries and alleged terrorists -– are so dedicated to solving it. It's an enthralling, deadly mix. And then the pirates show up.
For his part, artist Kristian Donaldson has created a look for this world that's every bit as engrossing as Wood's story. I was hooked by the second and third page spread revealing the detailed, sleek, lethal profile of the Kapital, the main characters' ship. And those characters are no less sleek and lethal. They're all gorgeously interesting and believably fit, and I want to spend a lot more time watching them kick ass and distrust each other as they hunt down their lost sister ship.
Unfortunately, I didn't enjoy Planetoid as much, though it includes space pirates; another weakness of mine. It starts off awesomely with the main character's crash landing on a mysteriously deserted, industrial planet. Writer/artist Ken Garing creates an excellent mood as his grizzled, but hardy main character explores the landscape with limited, but cool supplies and weapons. By the time he was fighting a giant, robotic serpent, I figured I was hooked. It's too bad that the final seven pages are so exposition-heavy and set up a plot that limits the story's potential rather than opens it up. I don't know what Garing's long-term plans are for Planetoid, but for a while anyway it sounds like he's going to focus on something I'm not that interested in. I'll keep my ears open for signs that the series has moved past that and into more exciting territory, but for now I'm going to leave it alone.
Back on a positive note, I enjoyed the first couple of issues of Saucer Country and am looking forward to seeing where Paul Cornell and Ryan Kelly take that. I'm a big fan of Kelly already and generally like where Cornell's head is at, so I have hope that Saucer Country turns into the big, alien-conspiracy thriller that it promises. For the first time in forever I shuddered rather than giggled at a reference to an anal probe, so it's already changing how I think about the genre. That's an excellent sign.

Not comics, but appropriately enough for Father's Day, I've been reading Cinderella Ate My Daughter by Peggy Orenstein. Basically it's an exploration of all the messages, overt and otherwise, visited upon young girls by "the new girle-girl culture." This includes things like the Disney Princesses (which initially had to circumvent a particular anti-crossover policy), Twilight, and "Toddlers & Tiaras." However, there's also a brief section on superheroes, prompted by daughter Daisy's summer spent as Wonder Woman. Orenstein tried to see if Daisy would like other superheroines, but both were apparently turned off by Hawkgirl's too-big (for an action figure, I presume) breasts and by Supergirl's bare midriff. ("Sometimes girl superheroes show their belly buttons," Daisy mused. "I don't know why.") In a bit of research that didn't ring true to me, Orenstein also characterized Big Barda as "defend[ing] her milquetoast husband" and "prefer[ring] housewifery to crimefighting." I can see where she might have gotten that impression, but I would have urged her to dig deeper. To make a long story short, when school starts back up Daisy puts away her Amazonian gear, because all her friends want to play princesses — but of course, as Orenstein notes wryly, Diana is herself a princess. Overall CAMD is a fascinating survey not just of various marketing schemes, but also of different theories and perspectives on what may or may not be helpful and harmful. I've got a couple more chapters to go, but it's already been quite the eye-opener.
However, it means I still haven't read all of this week's comics. I did want to mention Amazing Spider-Man #687 (written by Dan Slott, drawn by Stefano Caselli), the conclusion of "Ends of the Earth." Unlike last fall's New-York-centered "Spider-Island," "EOTE" has taken place almost entirely away from Spidey's usual haunts, has put him in a more high-tech, armored outfit, and has teamed him up with globetrotters like Black Widow and Silver Sable. If this were a Batman story it'd feature Ra's al Ghul, and it probably would have taken place in the mid-1980s. (In fact, now that I think about it, it reminds me of Mike Barr and Trevor von Eeden's "Messiah of the Crimson Sun" in 1982's Batman Annual #8….) So it was already a departure from the regular Spidey model, but I was OK with that. On balance it was a good, suspenseful battle of wits between Spidey and Doc Ock, and it used Spidey's superhero connections and Avengers membership effectively. Accordingly, my problem with it was the ending, which — SPOILER ALERT — ties into Slott's ongoing theme of "nobody dies." Well — SPOILER ALERT, STILL — in this issue, apparently someone does die … but it happens off-screen, and because it's supposed to affect Spidey more than anyone else, it's presented almost indirectly. In other words, because Spidey tells us this person is dead, our reaction to it depends entirely on his reaction — and his reaction doesn't really sell it. Personally, I didn't buy the inevitability of this person's death (although, to be fair, things weren't looking good), and the end of the issue practically cries out for some sort of near-future reversal. I mean, going back to Batman, Stephanie Brown looked a lot more dead, and she got better. I still like Slott's Spidey, but this one just turned out clunky.
Finally, I've moved into the new volume two of "Knightfall" (yes, more Batman), which reprints just about all of the Jean-Paul Valley Batman stories from 1993-94. It's pretty entertaining stuff, written by Doug Moench and Chuck Dixon and penciled by the likes of Graham Nolan, Mike Manley and Vince Giarrano, and so far J-P hasn't gone around the bend. Right now I'm two-thirds of the way through a Catwoman crossover (with the Catwoman issue written by Jo Duffy and penciled by Jim Balent), which is typical of the book in that once Selina figures out it's not the original Batman under the pointy new armor, she has virtually no use for him. (For his part, J-P finds himself having wet dreams about her and then analyzing them clinically, which is pretty hilarious.) Even the people trying to take the new Batman seriously, like Gordon, the Mayor and Montoya, are having trouble. (Well, not the Mayor, but he's probably still in shock after "Knightfall" had him tortured by the Joker and Scarecrow.) Bruce Wayne is nowhere in these pages, because he was having his own adventures in other (unreprinted) books, so there's not much indication he's ever coming back; and that makes these new, strained relationships even more interesting. In short, there's a surprising amount of substance in these stories, although it's not what you might have expected.

Fantastic Four #607: This issue by writer Jonathan Hickman caused me to realize a few things. The writer is running out of steam (or at least he is in this issue) as evidenced by his use of the Black Panther (and the normally interesting dynamics of Wakanda). I mean, when I am reading a story involving Black Panther, Storm and the Fantastic Four, I should not be bored. And yet I was. Also, in reading this particular Black Panther/FF dynamic, I realized that I missed Dwayne McDuffie again. His use of Panther (and Storm) in his all-too-short FF run was exquisite. Hickman's Black Panther? Not so much.
Dial H #2: It's the simple things that please me with this project. As my pal Dugan Trodglen pointed out to me the other day, this issue features some great Dial H character names, including heroes like"Pelican Army" and "Hole Punch." Half the success of those characters are the names (thanks to writer China Mieville), but the deal closer on that entertaining aspect is Mateus Santolouco's costume designs.
The Shade #9: Much noise should be made for the outstanding artwork produced by Frazer Irving in this issue. But the highlight of the read is when Shade is attacked by multiple villains (almost all whom are easily defeated), and suddenly a group of ninja leap from the ceiling to attack him. Writer James Robinson deadpans the hilarious Shade reaction of "Oh, ninjas." I continue to appreciate how Robinson injects his humor into this miniseries.

The Last Caress and Other Stories is Sam Costello's last Split Lip anthology, and he is going out with a bang. Costello writes short, thought-provoking horror stories that are illustrated by different artists. Horror is such a popular genre that you would think there would be no new ideas left, but Costello's stories are original and usually have a bit of a twist. Sometimes you can see it coming, sometimes you can't, but either way, they are satisfying. The anthology format is nice because it gives the reader a break‹you can go from the high-key "Cured," a gruesome story about a serial killer with a twist, to "Straw Gods," which is more understated and is drawn in a simple, eye-pleasing style (although it has bloody horror at its core too). Costello includes a lot of nice little extras in the book‹commentary on the stories, bits of the script, and character sketches. It's a nice swan song for a great series.
I also read Harbinger #1, and I have to agree with what a lot of people are saying about the art: It doesn't reach the level of the story. The backgrounds and settings are fine, but the faces of the characters are off-putting — blobby and formless, with tiny, puckered mouths and dead eyes. Part of the problem is a mix of line art and smooth gradients, something I commented on recently with regard to other comics; the lines and the shading don't work together at all. This is important because Peter Stanchek, the main character, isn't particularly likable, and giving him an ugly face makes it worse. Stancheck has the power to control the minds of others, and in this first issue he uses it to steal drugs and money and get a girl to sleep with him (he expresses a bit of remorse for that, but not much). On the other hand, I thought the art in the opening sequence, where Toyo Harada meets the Bleeding Monk, was pretty good, but the writing left me cold — here is this dramatic thing that happens with no explanation whatsoever, and then we move on. Despite these flaws, I'm interested enough in the story to want to keep going with the series for at least the next couple of issues.

I've been on kind of a super-humongo Morrison kick lately–re-reading both his runs on New X-Men as well as JLA via super-cheap digital versions on Comixology–so I recently dove back into the first Seaguy series. I remember reading some of it when it originally came out, but while I remember popping for specific panels and absolutely loving Cameron Stewart's artwork throughout, the series as a whole left me kind of cold. Since it originally came out, however, I've read a lot more Morrison, maybe more importantly, the entire Kirby Fourth World Saga, which, for me, worked as a tremendously effective key to understanding Morrison's oeuvre, so I'm already enjoying Seaguy a lot more this time around.
I also recently read the first volume of Bakuman and absolutely loved it. I've got a tricky relationship with manga, as oftentimes, the pacing, humor and manga-specific tropes just don't work for me. But even though Bakuman is done by the team behind the massively popular shonen manga Death Note, and certainly has its fair share of over-the-top, teenage melodrama, it gets bonus points for being a slightly meta look at what goes into becoming a manga creator in Japan. While there are massive differences between the path to becoming an American comics creator, it's still an invigorating work to dive into, especially as an aspiring comics creator myself.
Finally, on the prose front, I've been rereading one of my favorite wrestling biographies (yes, I've read enough to have several favorites), Brody: The Triumph and Tragedy of Wrestling's Rebel. The book is a phenomenal look at Bruiser Brody, a guy who was arguably one of the biggest and most popular wrestlers in the country in the late '70s and early '80s, but has largely receded from fandom's collective memory due to the fact that he never worked in Vince McMahon Jr's WWF/WWE, seeing as he was stabbed to death in a Puerto Rican locker room in 1988. If you have any interest in the history of professional wrestling, this book's a fantastic way to familiarize yourself with that over-the-top, bizarre, sometimes-dangerous world.

The Massive #1
I'm a big fan of Brian Wood's work, and when I heard that he was going to be dipping back into the post-decline world he used for his epic series DMZ, but with an environmental spin, I was there with bells on. The Massive sets up a world reeling from a series of natural disasters, apparently caused by mankind kicking the planet's balance severely out of whack for just too long. The main characters are the crew of a ship with what seems like a militant Greenpeace-type agenda, searching for their lost sister ship, the titular Massive. The world-building is absolutely stellar, with backmatter in this first issue really helping to layer out the world, and Kristian Donaldson's art is about as perfect as you could want. Plus, they end up in a flooded Hong Kong at the end of the first chapter, and that's one of my favorite cities in the world. Couldn't be more on board for this series.
Liminal States
I recently finished this novel from Zack Parsons, a writer I had previously known only through his comedy writing on the website somethingawful.com. He tends to take weird tangents with his articles on that site; it's not all dick jokes (although he can certainly come up with those when the occasion warrants). He somehow manages to layer in alternate history, technology writing, politics, horror and many other unlikely subjects into the stuff he does for somethingawful, and so when I saw that he'd written his first novel I decided to give it a spin. I read constantly, and I (try to) read everything, and this was honestly one of the most original and affecting stories I've found in a very long time. It's science fiction, horror, noir and old west action all bundled into one (but in a good way – this isn't Cowboys & Aliens.) Summarizing the plot won't do it justice, but I'll say that it's about a man who learns how to live forever, and all of the terrible and beautiful things that come from that discovery (mostly terrible, though.) Great read.
I also greatly enjoyed Stephen King's latest Dark Tower installment, The Wind Through the Keyhole, a new translation of the classic 70s Russian sci-fi novel Roadside Picnic, and B.P.R.D. Hell on Earth The Long Death. The title's a little long, but the story wasn't — only three issues, and a classic example of lean and mean storytelling paired with SPECTACULAR art. Lots of amazing new stuff to read out there right now.
I picked up the Bus years ago for two bucks. It was one of the best purchases I have ever made, and its a reminder of how baffling what people are willing to part with. On the same day I picked up all of B. Kliban's non-Cat books, and they were proof at what a thief Gary Larson is.
Read the entirety of Watchmen for the first time, and after finally having done so, despite seeing the movie and reading a few pages of it years earlier, my opinion of it still has not changed: while I can respect its place in pop culture history (like The Godfather, which I DID like), I stand by my simple feeling on the story–IT STINKS.
I'm currently reading Catwoman: Trail of the Catwoman (collects Selina's Big Score, the first five issues of Brubaker/Cooke's run on Catwoman, and the Slam Bradley back-ups by Brubaker/Cooke). It's absolutely amazing stuff and an absolute must-read for female readers or male readers who really dig books with awesome female leads. Or noir in general. I know some considered it on the slow side, but the character-work is INCREDIBLE.
Pull-list wise, my favourite books this week were the first issue of American Vampire: Lord of Nightmares, Batman #10, and Mighty Thor #15, which was the best issue of Fraction's Thor in quite some time in that it managed to actually both interest and entertain me.
I've become a bit disenchanted with Cornell's writing of late. I the ruse relating to the flash-back in Saucer Country made the whole issue feel pointless while over in Demon Knights, while the book has improved since getting out of that blasted village, the characters at times sound a bit same-y and it's becoming clear that Neves is struggling to keep up with the monthly grind.
Going to have to read Liminal States now…
I went all-in for Brian Wood Week: Conan the Barbarian! The Massive! Ultimate X-Men! (Adjectiveless) X-Men!
And I was not disappointed.
Wood mentioned in recent interviews that he was dedicating himself to making strong single issues rather than writing for the trade, and the pay-off is here. Each of these issues is a satisfying read, packed with information and events while still leaving room for vital and vibrant characterization. There are too many great elements to enumerate, but my favorite moment comes when Mary passes a sweater to Callum in The Massive. It's a brilliantly subtle move that expresses the many facets of their relationship better than words ever could.
Equally impressive: no two books read the same. Conan, naturally, is a blend of classic literature and pulp, evoking Robert E. Howard's style. (Adjectiveless) X-Men, in stark contrast, has next to no narration and a decidedly scientific bent; it's streamlined and forward-thinking (the mobile headquarters recharges in the ionosphere!). The Massive and Ultimate X-Men share perhaps the most in common; both feature tight-knit "terrorist" cells on rescue missions in dystopian settings. But the X-teens are very much in the midst of their apocalypse, gearing up for what might be their biggest battle, while the crew of the Kapital deals with the fallout from their world falling utterly apart. The two series could almost be before-and-after — or, rather, during-and-after.
And, that's to say nothing of the art. As much as I enjoyed Becky Cloonan's work in the first three issues of Conan, particularly her sultry take on Belit, James Harren's eye for lush land- and cityscapes and brutal violence makes him an ideal fit for the series. I hope he sticks around as much as I hope Reilly Brown becomes a permanent fixture in the Ultimate X-Men rotation. His pages fit seamlessly between Paco Medina's, as both artists are adept at depicting the gravity of the UMU in turmoil without sacrificing the youth of their characters. Kristian Donaldson's art, meanwhile, has never been stronger, featuring bold, crisp lines and iconic designs (in one panel, the cast is recognizable by the backs of their heads!). It never hurts to have Dave Stewart on colors, of course. He's one of the most decorated colorists in the business and with good reason; his palettes deftly set the moods of The Massive and Conan the Barbarian, and the use of red in The Massive is especially striking. Rachelle Rosenberg is a real contender in the colorist race, as well. She manages to balance rich earth tones, a variety of skin tones, and nearly neon hues without any element drowning out the other or becoming garish. It's an exceptional accomplishment that makes the art of the Lopez brothers vividly pop. Although the Lopez brothers have been working for the Big Two for years now — on everything from Catwoman and Countdown to Hawkeye & Mockingbird and Mystic — (Adjectiveless) X-Men might be the book that puts them on the map. Their art is striking. Each character is truly individual, on virtually every level: facial features and structure, expressions, stances, movements. Everyone and everything has unique weight and volume. Someone (on a CBR forum, I believe) likened their work to Frank Quitely's, but their style reminds me far more of John Cassaday's, particularly during his time on Planetary.
If Brian Wood and his collaborators can keep up the quality of their comics, they just might be the creators of the year. With four strong debuts so far, they're off to a helluva start.
The Bus sounds amazing, definitely gonna have to try to get a hold of that.
Me, I've been catching up on Uncanny X-Force, which as it turns out, is a pretty good book, it really feels like exactly what I'd want from a super hero comic.
@mr. pants: Gary Larson a thief? Interesting, must investigate further.
The Bus is a great book. So happy to see it getting its props!

The House Finance Committee voted 8-5 along party lines Tuesday to approve a $900 million tax package that, while making permanent some business taxes, did not extend a temporary tax on beer as Democrats had first proposed.
Republicans offered a series of unsuccessful amendments seeking to omit elements of the package — everything from closure of a tax break for out-of-state shoppers to a tax on certain imports and bottled water.
A final striking amendment from Rep. Reuven Carlyle, the Seattle Democrat who chairs the finance committee, dropped insurance agents, janitorial and stevedoring services from the list of repealed tax exemptions, but kept most of what originally was a $1.16 billion plan.
"We took out some of those that presented various difficulties," Carlyle said after the vote. "… Any time you are trying to close tax exemptions it's hard, hard, tough work."
Carlyle acknowledged concerns that the beer tax could sink the whole package if it went to voters — which happened a few years ago with soda pop when the American Beverage Association filed an initiative to repeal taxes on pop and candy.
"I think it's fair to say the beer industry — the big industry players, (such as) Anheuser Busch — do not look at $5 or $10 million for an initiative repeal as a deterrent or much of a problem. … That's a risk," Carlyle said. "(W)e were not willing to take the risk of that happening."
The bill still levies lots of taxes that are not in effect today — or would not still be in effect after June. It eliminates tax breaks for bottled water, travel agents, and high-tech research and development. It also gets rid of a utilities tax break for interstate truckers that Washington is one of the few states to offer, according to Carlyle.
Republican Rep. Ed Orcutt of Kalama, and others on the committee, said the state has plenty of money for education and did not need to end the tax breaks at stake. He described the closure of tax breaks as tax increases and warned, "We still have a struggling economy."
Orcutt also said the state has 58,000 fewer people employed than before the recession, and he argued that growth in jobs could provide more revenues. "It's the courage to fund education first and say no to some other people," Orcutt said.
Carlyle and other Democrats on the finance panel said the state needs more funds to pay for education, which is the result of the state Supreme Court's ruling a year ago in the McCleary case. They also said they hope a broader conversation can follow on how to change the Washington tax code that is so reliant on taxes that hit a business' gross receipts.
Some of the GOP amendments offered Tuesday could return when the bill goes to the floor — as soon as Thursday. The bill faces a steep climb in the tax-averse Senate.

Ideas, Insights, Strategies & Resources for Your Business to Thrive,
This review is from: Small Town Rules: How Big Brands and Small Businesses Can Prosper in a Connected Economy (Que Biz-Tech) (Hardcover)
Barry Moltz and Becky McCray have written a thought-provoking, resource rich book.
Up front, want to say that I received a copy of this book from one of the authors, with no expectation that I would write a specific review. Also think it's relevant that I'm a "small town girl", born and raised in and now choosing to raise my family on a farm outside of a town of 4,000 people...and also a business owner who speaks and consults internationally.
In a time when "community" has become a buzz word for businesses to thrive in the age of social media, this book is a breath of fresh air providing sense and depth around what this truly means.
"Small Town Rules" highlights and helps apply how what small town folks see every day on main street in their community (valuing neighbors; being friendly, honest and helpful; watching out for each other; playing, working and celebrating together) can be put to work to help businesses communicate, serve their customers and build loyalty.
The authors don't paint a rose colored glasses picture of small towns, sharing a list of the downsides of small towns and show how these downsides can be overcome in business (everybody does know everyone else's business...hmmm, does sound like social media).
For me, the book builds up, with the strongest chapters toward the end. My favorite was "How Big Brands and Small Businesses Are Thinking and Acting Small" and the comprehensive, practical Resource section for implementing the Small Town Rules.
I highly recommend Small Town Rules for business owners, entrepreneurs, and any student of communications, marketing or business development.

I have 2 servers, both running RHEL 6, one for Apache 2.2 and one for memcached (memcached-1.4.4-3).
I noticed an increase in the number of

netstat -n | grep 11211 | awk '{print $6}' | sort | uniq -c
and still the number increases.
- Does
TIME_WAITmean it is still used ?
- Is increasing the number will affect the server performance?
- How can I get rid of them ?

Texas Woman Charged in Obama Ricin Letter Set for Trial
The Texas woman accused of mailing ricin-laced letters to President Barack Obama and New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg will be held without bail until a bond hearing on Sept. 11. Her trial is set for Oct. 7.
Shannon Guess Richardson, 35, a former actress, pleaded not guilty today to one charge of threatening the U.S. president "with bodily harm" and two charges of mailing threatening communications in federal court in Texarkana, Texas.
U.S. Magistrate Judge Caroline Craven found Richardson is competent to stand trial on the recommendation of a government doctor who evaluated her in prison, according to Lynn Siebel, a deputy in Craven's court.
Richardson has been detained since her June 7 arrest on suspicion she was involved with the tainted letters.
"She does not contest the competency determination, although that doesn't address the issue of sanity if we decide to bring it up," Tonda Curry, Richardson's lawyer, said in a telephone interview before the hearing.
Richardson originally approached law enforcement officials in late May with purported information implicating her estranged husband in a plot to send ricin-laced letters to Obama, Bloomberg and the head of a gun-control group affiliated with the mayor, according to a criminal complaint filed against her.
Letters Intercepted
She later changed her story to admit typing the labels and mailing the letters under what she claims was coercion by her husband, according to the complaint.
The letters were intercepted before they reached their targets, and no one was injured by the deadly powder. The Federal Bureau of Investigation found castor beans, used to make ricin, and other suspicious materials in the couple's home in New Boston, near Texarkana, according to the document.
"She's still not charged with anything related to the ricin," Curry said. "She's charged with mailing threatening communications, with the words on paper, not the contents of the letters."
Nathaniel Richardson, her husband, has filed for divorce and was recently awarded temporary custody of the couple's son, born four months prematurely while his mother was incarcerated.
The husband has publicly stated that law enforcement has cleared him of suspicion in the ricin-letter plot, the lawyer said.
"But the government has told me that's in no way true," Curry said.
Katie Chaumont, a spokeswoman for the FBI's Dallas-based division, said policy prevented her from commenting on an investigation in progress.
Bloomberg is founder and majority owner of Bloomberg News parent Bloomberg LP.
The case is U.S. v. Richardson, 5:13-cr-00013, U.S. District Court, Eastern District of Texas (Texarkana).

I'm dying to go to Church Brew Works! It sounds so good. Good luck tomorrow!
Kristin recently posted..Cooking with Kristin: Peanut Butter & Jam
Church Brew Works
Friday for lunch Chris took me to one of Pittsburgh's breweries, the Church Brew Works! It is an old church that is now a brewery.
On the inside…
I got one of the special draft beers, a herbal wheat beer. It was really tasty! It had a very citrusy flavor, I really liked it.
Chris and I also split the one of the specials: the broccoli and pesto pierogies! Getting pierogies in Pittsburgh is a must.
For lunch I got the vegetarian polenta with roasted tomatoes and mushrooms in a goat cheese sauce. It was delicious! I've only had polenta a handful of times, but I really like it so I should eat more of it!
Another fantastic lunch in Pittsburgh! I swear the food at the restaurants in Pittsburgh is always so good.
After our lunch it was time to head to the Marathon Race Expo.
It was as huge as ever! I think Pittsburgh has the biggest race expo I've been to yet.
The shirts are pretty sweet, too!
Well, today has been pretty relaxing so far. We took a trip to Trader Joe's and now we're getting ready for lunch! We're making pizzas for dinner, which are a perfect pre-race meal. Tomorrow we'll be running the 13.1 through Pittsburgh!
{Check out last year's Pittsburgh Half Marathon Race Re-Cap}
I signed up for runner tracking so if you follow me on twitter, it will be tweeting my race splits live, which is pretty exciting!
See you at the finish line! 🙂

Black Bean College Veggie Burgers
Total Time
Prep 15 mins
Cook 5 mins
For health reasons, I have to eat gluten free, dairy free, and low fat. So hamburgers are off the list. This is the recipe I invented to satisfy these cravings. I'm sharing this to get other people's opinions of it and will gladly accept any changes/additions/corrections.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 (15 ounce) can black beans
- 3 tablespoons salsa (I use Medium)
- 1⁄4-1⁄2 onion, minced
- 1 dash onion powder
- 1 dash garlic powder
- 1 dash chili powder
- 2 tablespoons bragg amino liquids seasoning
- 1⁄4 cup gluten-free flour (any kind)
- (All measurements are estimates since I eyeball everything).
- Drain and mash the black beans. (Do NOT puree -- you want it to still have some texture).
- Stir in salsa, minced onion, and all spices (including Bragg amino liquids, which can be found in the health food section).
- Add in flour until the mixture forms a "dough" about the consistency of very soft cookie dough.
- Lightly grease a frying pan, and turn the temperature very high.
- Spoon onto the pan and spread it out to desired thickness. At this point, I like to add some more of the amino liquids over the top.
- Cook about 2 min on each side, or until it holds itself together when turned.
- I like to eat them on corn tortillas.

These were good. I agree with other reviews that they are soft which makes them hard to flip & I also used soy sauce. I intend to use this as a base recipe to develop my own version. Thanks for the posting.
Very nice burger. They do cook up soft, but once they go on a nice whole wheat Ezekiel Bread bun with all the fixin's, who cares! I'll definitely have this one again. I used flax meal instead of flour. Thanks for the recipe!
I loved these. I did not have amino liquids so I used low sodium soy sauce. I made the mixture up one day and cooked them the next. They are easy to make too. They make a soft burger but a very tasty one. Thanks for the recipe.

Google+ Draws 25 Million Visitors in a Month, ComScore Says
Google Inc.'s new social-networking service drew about 25 million visitors in less than a month, outpacing Facebook Inc. and MySpace in their early days, according to market researcher ComScore Inc.
The Google+ service had 6.44 million visitors in the U.S., its biggest market, through July 24, said Andrew Lipsman, ComScore's vice president for industry analysis, on a call hosted by Lou Kerner, an analyst at Wedbush Securities Inc. That was followed by India, with 3.62 million, ComScore said. The figures don't include mobile usage.
Google+, started in late June, is the company's latest effort to compete in social networking with Facebook, which has more than 750 million users. Google+, which lets people connect with and manage groups of friends, added about 5 million visitors in less than a week to reach about 25 million, according to ComScore.
Engagement on the site is also increasing, Lipsman said. The average number of days per week that U.S. visitors used the service rose 39 percent in the seven days ending July 17. For the week that ended July 24, usage rose 11 percent.
Google, based in Mountain View, California, fell $14.37 to $592.40 at 4 p.m. New York time on the Nasdaq Stock Market. The shares are little changed this year.

Structural Analysis of Low Latency Audio Coding Schemes
Low latency audio coding gains increasing importance among upcoming high quality communication applications like videoconferencing and VoIP. This paper provides a comparison of two low latency audio codecs suitable for these tasks: MPEG 4 ER AAC-LD and ITU-T G722.1 Annex C. Despite their similar coding strategies both codecs show significant differences with respect to the used tools and coding performance. A comparison of the coding tools is provided and the influence on different signal classes is discussed.
