Skateboarding Tourney Stirs Its Own Midnight Madness
The Battle at the Berrics stirs the sport's purists with a deceptively simple game of "SKATE"
The Battle at the Berrics, which has quickly become one of the most popular contests in skateboarding, doesn't have ramps like you'd see at the X Games. No handrails, no curbs, and when a skater bails on a trick it rarely results in a fall. It's a game entirely limited to the floor of a Los Angeles warehouse and features the kinds of basic maneuvers you might see a kid practicing in the driveway.
This aggressive minimalism renders the Battle almost unwatchable to anyone who hasn't spent time on a skateboard. But it's addicting to skateboarding purists, who find a contest of smaller tricks more relatable than the skate competitions on television, where grisly falls and jumps as long as 75-feet get much of the attention.
The Battle at the Berrics will be decided by a game called SKATE, which borrows from the shot-for-shot basketball game HORSE. Skaters have played it for at least two decades, possibly longer. It has lasting appeal because skaters of any skill level can play it. The Battle starts with 32 skaters who, through a single-elimination tournament, are whittled down to a final two. The semifinals and finals are this weekend. At the stroke of midnight PST on Saturday and Sunday mornings, skaters around the world will log on to watch.
The game begins when the first skater tries a trick. If it's successful, the second skater has to match it. If not, the turn passes to the second skater. Once one skater pulls off the trick, the other must repeat it. If the trick is matched the turn continues. If not the person who failed earns a letter. The first one to spell "S-K-A-T-E" loses.
Talent is what sets the Berrics' games apart. No one trick they try is awe-inspiring, but the contestants are the world's best. They possess a humbling command of the basics, ripping through dozens of tricks and landing most in one try. It's like going to the practice tee at the Masters and seeing Tiger Woods place golf balls wherever he pleases. (In skateboarding, as in golf, sometimes it's more impressive watching a professional practice than compete.)
Thanks in part to the event, The Berrics.com, the site that organizes and Webcasts The Battle at The Berrics, has grown to one of skateboarding's most popular Web sites in a few months. In January the site had more unique visitors than sites for all of the major skateboarding magazines, and ESPN.com's action sports page, according to comScore, a market research firm. "All the kids can relate to it," says Steve Berra, a pro skater who runs The Berrics.
Sunday's winner will take home a $10,000 prize, but the competitors put considerable effort into not taking it seriously. In an early round one skater donned a Mexican-style wrestling mask. At the start of that match his opponent declared: "I'm ready to lose so I can stop playing this game now." Such declarations of doubt are common before games start.
But between heavy sarcasm and faux indifference lies a genuinely fun competition. Competitors often try to surprise each other doing obscure tricks hardly anyone practices. In one match Eric Koston, a veteran technical skater and a co-owner of The Berrics, tried to stump his opponent, the younger P.J. Ladd, with several early 1990s tricks that have faded into obscurity. (Mr. Ladd persevered and skates in this weekend's semifinals.)
Mr. Koston, who is often credited (erroneously) with inventing the game of SKATE, says another tactic is to try simple tricks. His battle with Mr. Ladd featured a switch-stance frontside pop shove-it, a fairly easy maneuver despite its complicated name. Mr. Ladd faulted. "Sometimes it trips people up. Someone will over think it and stumble," says Mr. Koston of his counterintuitive strategy.
Mr. Berra has been a pro skater for about two decades. For much of that time he has mixed his skill on a skateboard with a passion for filmmaking. He was a regular on the short-lived television drama "413 Hope St." and had recurring roles on shows including "Nash Bridges" and "Felicity." Mr. Berra wrote and directed the feature film "The Good Life," which made the Sundance Film Festival in 2007. He was married to the actress Juliette Lewis for four years.
He has also brought more than the usual theatrics to his skateboarding career. Mr. Berra's section in a 1998 skate video featured his simulated death and a shot of his decapitation, filmed with the aid of a professional-quality dummy.
Mr. Berra and Mr. Koston purchased the downtown Los Angeles warehouse that would become The Berrics five years ago and turned it into their private skatepark. (The name "Berrics" is a combination of Berra and Eric.) Mr. Berra says he envisioned the site as way to blend skateboarding and media, and figured they could sell some ads to offset the mortgage payment.
The pair shared the site's start-up costs, which included buying cameras, computers and building an office, with Anonymous Content, a Los Angeles production company that has made films including "Babel" and "Rendition" and now owns a stake in the Berrics.
The site started with straightforward skate videos but has expanded to sillier features like "Skate or Dice," a version of Craps where money from The Berrics vending machine is wagered against a skater willing to try a trick determined by four custom dice. But traffic really soared with The Battle at The Berrics, and the spike in traffic helped lure advertisers including videogame company Electronic Arts Inc. Mr. Berra says the site is planning a second battle, with all new pros, to begin in April.
Many of the participants say the site's popularity has turned an innocent game of SKATE into a more serious affair. "When the camera comes on the whole vibe just changes completely," says Mike "Mo" Capaldi, an 18-year-old professional. Mr. Capaldi has defeated several notable pros (including an owner of the skateboard company that endorses him) on the way to this weekend's semifinals.
To prepare for Saturday, he says he studied several YouTube videos of his opponent, Billy Marks, plus Mr. Marks's earlier work in the Battle at the Berrics. Mr. Capaldi noted Mr. Marks's weakest tricks, scrawled them on the back of a sticker and has spent some time practicing.
"It's absolutely ridiculous that I made a list," he says.

Recovering from a less than stellar outing a week ago at the Highlands, the Pratt High School golf team tamed the Medicine Lodge course on Monday and posted their first tournament victory of the season.
Pratt with 367 won the 5-school meet by 40 strokes over their closest competitor Chaparral with 407. "It was a good tournament win for our young team," commented Andy Kisner, PHS golf coach. "Although our team score is not low enough yet to contend at league or regionals next month, it is a step in the right direction. 5 to 7 shots better per man would put us in the conversation."
Kisner was pleased that 5 of his players were in double digits, a benchmark that has often eluded PHS linksters in recent campaigns. "We had five players under 100 on a blustery day," Kisner pointed out. "And on a course with very rough greens that made it impossible to hole a putt longer than 10-15 feet."
The Greenbacks took the three top individual spots, with Tyler Skaggs winning individual gold medalist with an 86. "It was a great win for Tyler," said Kisner.
Spencer Sullivan shot 90 and Navarre Strapp posted a 94 to capture the silver and bronze respectively. Alec Hampton (7th 98) and Skylar Stalcup (10th 99) also brought home medals. Hunter Walker was PHS' 6th man, carding a 108.
Pratt's JVs were also at ML. Zach Will shot 101, Cole Fincham 104, Ethan Gillig 118, and Dakota Hankins 138.
"This should give us a confidence boost going into the heart of our season," Kisner summarized. "We are looking forward to getting some time to practice and work through some things." Practice time will have to wait however, as the linksters go to Larned for another meet on Tuesday this week.

Putin Facing Crimea Premium as Eurobond Planned: Russia Credit
Russia will have to offer a premium to sell Eurobonds as President Vladimir Putin's military push inside Ukraine's Crimea region spurs the world's biggest losses for investment-grade dollar debt.
"Regardless what happens in Crimea, Russia will certainly have to offer a juicy additional premium for political risk," Sergey Dergachev, who helps oversee about $10 billion in emerging-market debt at Union Investment Privatfonds GmbH in Frankfurt, said by e-mail yesterday. "Investor perception of Russia has changed quite severely, unfortunately, and it will take a lot of time to get this political risk premium reduced."
The nation's dollar bonds lost 2.5 percent this year, the worst performance among non-junk sovereigns and compared with a 1.9 percent gain on a global Bloomberg index for emerging-markets bonds. Russia is seeking banks to organize a possible foreign-debt sale, Konstantin Vyshkovsky, the head of the ministry's debt department, said yesterday. The ministry canceled its fifth ruble-bond auction of 2014 the same day, citing "unfavorable" markets in a statement on its website.
Almost 19,000 Russian troops have helped take control of the Crimean peninsula, where regional authorities plan to hold a referendum in four days about joining Russia, according to Ukrainian Defense Ministry figures. The U.S. and the European Union are preparing sanctions against Russia in response to what they view as an illegal breach of Ukraine's sovereignty, even as Putin says the moves will protect ethnic Russians who dominate the Black Sea region from "extremists" in Kiev's government.
Putin's 'Message'
The Finance Ministry has sent requests for proposals on the possible Eurobond to lenders, Vyshkovsky said by phone yesterday. He declined to provide further details. Russia seeks to sell the equivalent of $7 billion in foreign bonds in 2014, unchanged from last year, according to budget plans.
The timing of the announcement is "very political," according to Tim Ash, the chief emerging-markets economist at Standard Bank Group Ltd. in London. "They want to send a message that they can tap markets and counter concerns about the impact of U.S. sanctions," he said by phone yesterday.
Tension in Ukraine and steps by the Federal Reserve to pare stimulus lifted the yield on Russia's dollar bonds due April 2020 by 57 basis points this year to 4.34 percent as of 1:55 p.m. in Moscow today, three basis points below a six-month high. That compares with a 42 basis point drop to 3.32 percent for similar notes from Brazil. Both countries' securities are rated at BBB by Standard & Poor's and Fitch Ratings, the second-lowest investment level.
Gauging Interest
The Finance Ministry may be "testing the waters to see what kind of interest there might currently be in the market," Olivier De Timmerman, a money manager at KBC Asset Management in Luxembourg, who oversees $600 million in emerging-market bonds including Russian government debt, said by e-mail yesterday. "The current situation has induced more volatility so on a risk-reward basis it makes sense to ask for a bigger premium."
The government may need to offer a 50 to 60 basis point premium to lure investors, according to Dergachev.
Russia's sole foreign debt sale last year attracted $17 billion in bids. The yield on $3 billion of 2023 dollar bonds, sold as part of that Sept. 9 deal and priced to yield 5.11 percent, dropped 84 basis points by Oct. 31. The rate on the notes was little changed at 5.31 percent today, a lifetime high.
Corporate Borrowers
Weak market sentiment is also affecting Russian corporate issuers, with lender OAO Promsvyazbank postponing a bond sale due to market conditions, Peter Fedosenko, head of fixed income sales, said by phone from Moscow on March 3. OAO Lukoil, Russia's second-biggest oil company, will wait for more favorable conditions before selling bonds to overseas investors, Interfax reported March 6.
"In the short run, headlines regarding the Ukrainian situation will probably remain a source of volatility for Russian issuers and possibly act to delay financing plans," Roberto Matta, a fixed-income portfolio manager at BSI SA in Lugano, Switzerland, said by e-mail yesterday. Still, "the current situation looks temporary and I don't see significant market access problems over the medium term," he said.
The average yield on Russian corporate bonds jumped 20 basis points to 6.55 percent, the highest since January 2012, according to the Bank of America Merrill Lynch index data. The securities lost 3.2 percent this month, approaching the biggest monthly loss since June, the data show.
Investor Demands
"Corporates are paying the price as international investors demand a higher risk premium to be compensated for the political risk," Andreas Fischer, a Zurich-based money manager at Credit Suisse Group AG, said by e-mail yesterday.
Ukraine began military drills March 10 to test combat readiness after Russia's intervention. The European Union told Putin he must switch course in Crimea or risk sanctions, while Ukraine's ousted President Viktor Yanukovych warned of a possible civil war at a news conference in Russia yesterday.
The Finance Ministry's scrapped its second weekly ruble-bond auction in a row and its fifth during 2014, according to a statement yesterday. Russia's local notes gave investors a 12 percent loss in dollar terms this year, the worst performance among 31 emerging-market indexes compiled by Bloomberg.
The ruble was little changed at 42.8487 against the central bank's target basket of dollars and euros today. It has weakened 10 percent to the dollar this year, the biggest drop among 24 emerging-market peers after the Argentine peso.
Waiting Game
The yield on the government's April 2042 dollar bonds was steady at 6.25 percent today. The extra yield on Russia's dollar debt over Treasuries rose six basis points to 303, indexes compiled by JPMorgan Chase & Co. show.
Russia plans to sell Eurobonds this year and won't "force" a placement in the current market, Interfax reported March 5, citing Deputy Finance Minister Sergey Storchak. The ministry may opt for several sales this year, Finance Minister Anton Siluanov said on Feb. 21.
The request for proposals is part of "long-term plans for the future, so that when the market situation stabilizes, the government is prepared to sell," Dmitry Postolenko, who manages about $110 million at Kapital Asset Management in Moscow, said by phone yesterday. "Right now isn't the best time for a placement, it's better to wait."

NEW YORK Television is recovering from one labor strike and could face another, it's contending with digital video records, competing with new media, and trying to lock up advertising dollars in a rotten economy.
Next week, against this backdrop, CBS Corp's CBS, Walt Disney Co's ABC and New Corp's Fox will present their 2008-09 prime-time schedules and sell advertising for the season. General Electric Co's NBC introduced its schedule early, but will host an event.
The TV industry's troubles could mean a big slowdown to the deal-making that follows the schedule presentations, a stretch known as the "upfronts" when about $9 billion of commercial inventory has sold in recent years.
"A lot of corporations have not yet determined what the budgets are going to be that they put into the upfront marketplace," said Aaron Cohen, director of broadcast for media agency Horizon Media.
He said worries about the economy -- not to mention a possible actors strike -- could result in a noticeable amount of foot-dragging once negotiations start. Prices could also be hurt, possibly knocking $500 million off total sales, he said.
"This may well be one of the more elongated marketplaces: The shortest time frame has been three days, last year it took about a week, and I believe it will go a lot longer this year," Cohen added.
One certainty is this upfront week will be more bare-bones than those of the past, when networks would trot out stars like Jerry Seinfeld or Katie Couric and throw lavish cocktail parties at popular New York spots.
Network executives have repeatedly promised this year will be different, lower key and less expensive, a refrain that began when screenwriters picketed major TV and movie studios. In February, the two sides reached a deal to end the 14-week strike.
The Screen Actors Guild and studios, meanwhile, remain at odds over a contract for 120,000 film and TV actors to replace the one that expires June 30, raising fears of another possible Hollywood strike.
One result of last winter's screenwriters' strike was a shorter development season, so TV networks reduced the number of pilots they ordered to save time and money.
CBS Chief Executive Les Moonves recently said many of the network's new shows were made as presentations rather than pilots, which are the first full episode of a program.
Presentations, Moonves said, could be shot in five or six days rather than 10 or 12 for pilots, cost 50 percent less, and contain only what would be the key scenes of the story lines.
"To say we've saved tens of millions of dollars in development costs would be an accurate statement," he said.
Ad executives expressed only slight concern over signing TV commercial deals without seeing a full pilot.
"The interesting thing is for years we were able to view new pilots. but the failure rate for new shows was extremely high," said Donna Wolfe, chief negotiations officer for Universal McCann, an Interpublic Group agency.
Wolfe said an average of 70 new shows fail each year. "All the testing that the networks do, and all the pilots, it doesn't necessarily spell success," she said.
This year will also feature multimedia deals, which have become more common in recent years. Instead of signing a deal for just prime-time TV commercials, the contracts include a cable TV or Web component.
"Those deals, they take longer to create and develop and do them right," Stacey Shepatin, director of national broadcast for Interpublic's Hill Holliday, said of multimedia deals. By taking longer to work out, they extend the negotiating period, and they also complicate pricing.
Still, most media buyers expect prime-time prices to be under pressure given ratings declines and the weak economy, though few were willing to make detailed forecasts before negotiations have begun.
"Given ratings erosion and a recession, I would hope that pricing would come down accordingly," Shepatin said.

Sorry folks, but this is bugging me now.
Why is WP's database code so goofy that it won't work if MySQL 5 is in strict-mode? All my reading on the topic strongly suggests that all strict-mode really does is throw errors instead of warnings, and all of the errors I've actually seen seem to involve the fact that fields that are required aren't given default values and don't have values explicitly inserted. How the hell did this get past Q/A anyways? Didn't anyone realize that the database code was severely cracked, if not actually broken?
As an example, the problems that WP is having with strict-mode would be impossible if it used SQL Server. There is no sloppy-mode in SQL Server. There is no sloppy-mode in Oracle for that matter.
Why is WordPress among the hundreds of other PHP apps that break when the database suddenly starts enforcing the rules (rules that haven't changed appreciably since 4.0)?
Will this be fixed for the 2.0 release?

my new favourite
Posted by vered999 on Nov 09, 2013
After getting hooked on their chophouse seasoning (love the grinder too), this is my new favourite, it really goes with everything. Last week I made veggie soup with it, I love it with sliced avocado (+ squeezed lemon). Very versatile.
It's okay, but not a very strong taste
Posted by 4753161611522332222 on May 03, 2016
It's not bad, but I had the non-organic version of it before and it was absolutely delicious on everything. I won't buy this one again, to be honest. It's ok, but not as strong of taste.
Posted by 5316041887926119916 on Jun 12, 2016
I use this seasoning on my sweet potato fries - tastes great! Really nice packaging too.
Must have Adobo!
Posted by 5145884737920706492 on Jul 02, 2016
I was introduced to Adobo Seasoning in the USA. Caribbean workers took a dedicated approach to nourishing, creative, tasty food and used Adobo for marinating, sprinkling and enhancing fish, poultry, beef, pork, lamb & vegetables. Adobo's herb combination is unique, versatile & aromatic. Can your product be made available in larger sizes?
Wow this is the Best
Posted by 5029494988297294524 on Apr 14, 2014
Since I have received this spice, My food has came alive. I love the taste, and my foods are really, really tasty, My Husband has said he wasn't sure what I was doing different but he really was enjoying, the flavor of the food, so I showed him the Adodo seasoning, now he is putting it on some of his grilled foods. all I can say it awesome.
Interesting taste!
Posted by Reviewer1190860 on May 30, 2014
A bit like vegeta but more garlic. It's becoming our home number 1 sprinkle!
love this blend
Posted by 4897120962117613305 on Oct 07, 2013
great quality and generous bottle size for the price
very satisfied
Posted by RhinBlack on Apr 25, 2015
This is very much like Vegeta. Or atleast as closest as I can get it in South Korea. I use it for EVERYTHING. It has been amazing!!! I didn't realize the bottle was this small though, i wish it was much bigger for the price.
Simply Organic Adobo Seasoning
Posted by 5727769680182180229 on Apr 30, 2015
Goes with everything
Posted by odereviews on Apr 21, 2013
This seasoning goes with pretty much anything. Last time I made a spaghetti sauce, and this fitted well with it. Same with french fries. Of course I would prefer the salt to be Himalayan salt. Good seasoning that last for a long time + it's organic.

BEIRUT (AP) -- Violence across Syria left at least 17 people dead Saturday.
Regime troops have been pushing into rebel-held neighborhoods in
the central city of Homs (hohms). They've also seized parts of a
mountain town (Zabadani) north of Damascus.
Meanwhile, gunmen assassinated an army general in Damascus today in the first killing of a high-ranking military officer in the capital since the uprising against President Bashar Assad's regime began in March.
Syria's state-run news agency says three men opened fire as the general left his Damascus home this morning. There's been no claim of responsibility.
And Syria's violence is spilling into neighboring Lebanon.
Security officials say pro- and anti-Syria gunmen have been trading
fire in the northern city of Tripoli, killing at least two people and wounding a dozen more.
Lebanese factions have been deeply divided over the Syrian crisis, and tensions have intensified with the regime's siege of Homs this week.

Marvel Assembles an Official Title for Third "Avengers" Movie
Comic Books, Film
Politics | Minnesota House Majority Leader Matt Dean has apologized for calling Neil Gaiman a "pencil-necked little weasel," but contends the author and comics writer should return the $45,000 fee he received in May 2010 for speaking at the Stillwater, Minn., library (Gaiman donated the money, minus agents fees, to charity). Dean's original remarks were made during a discussion of how the state's tax-generated Legacy funds for the arts are spent. He was quoted as saying that Gaiman, "who I hate," is a "pencil-necked little weasel who stole $45,000 from the state of Minnesota."
Now, however, the Republican lawmaker has dialed back the rhetoric while standing by his underlying criticism. "My mom is staying with us right now," he tells Minnesota Public Radio. My wife's out of town, and she was very angry this morning and always taught me to not be a name caller. And I shouldn't have done it, and I apologize."
Gaiman, who responded to Dean's initial comments early Wednesday on Twitter, has since expanded on his remarks on his website, writing in part, "I don't like the idea that a politician is telling people that charging a market wage for their services is stealing." [Minnesota Public Radio, Underwire]

BOOOOOOOOO Minnesota republican guy Matt Dean. BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Shame on you!
If he wasnt right then why did Gaiman only then donate the $45k to charity? But I guess rather than report the story lets just report the name calling that the story led up to… If you are going to publish a nonsensical b.s. article why not just make the headline Republicans Hate Comics. But then again if you new the first thing about journalism I guess you wouldnt be writing for a comic book blog.
Gaiman donated the money to charity a year ago.
FYI, our comments guidelines:
No need for personal attacks, Rich … if you don't like what we're doing here, don't come back.
@ Rich: The Gaimen article was originally published in the MPR, and posted here on a comic blog because it is a comic-related story. The guy for Robot 6 didn't write the original article, so what's your beef with him? You say it's nonsensical, but this is a comic book related site, posting comic related news. What doesn't make sense to you?
And you wish you could write for a comic book blog, so why the smug comments?
I can read better than you, Rich.
Matt Dean was probably really pissed because he could have put that money into his OWN pocket. Politicians have no use for "pencil-necked geeks" that put money in the hands of those who need it.
The congressman is an idiot because the Stillwater incident could have made a great talking point for his (presumably) conservative economics. Instead, he turned it into a meaningless slander, obscuring the real problem and reflecting poorly on himself and his party.
Still, Gaiman is dead wrong to try to cast what went down in Stillwater as capitalism hard at work. I have no problem with Gaiman charging his fee, but a government branch wasting money it's legally compelled to waste is hardly what I'd call a free market transaction.
The Congressman lied about the amount of the fee, omits the nature of speaking fees in general (how much does Sara Palin make per appearance) and left out both where these funds came from and the fact Gaiman donated it to charity.
In short he didn't apologies, he used name calling to get away with lying. A typical Republican tactic.
ohhh…. Drama!
I'm pretty sure Gaiman has more integrity than 99.9% of American politicians. Politicians in general, for that matter. Nobody steals more money from the average taxpayer than Politicians.
Heh. If the name-calling hadn't worked, Dean was going to wait until recess and then push Gaiman down on the playground blacktop.
The GOP is always good for a laugh.
Wonder if that comic story showing kids holding a gun to other kids head, is based on Warren Ellis recently published Hellblazer story "Shoot" that DC/Vertigo originally didn't publish years ago.
I have to say, there is just no logical reason a cash-strapped local library should be spending that kind of money on any speakers. Something is out of whack here, even if Gaiman did nothing wrong and even if the offending politician was a moron.
Besides, when was the last time any politician apologized for such comments? These days, it's almost a badge of honor to never, ever retract a comment, no matter how mean spirited and stupid.
"If he wasnt right then why did Gaiman only then donate the $45k to charity? But I guess rather than report the story lets just report the name calling that the story led up to… If you are going to publish a nonsensical b.s. article why not just make the headline Republicans Hate Comics. But then again if you new the first thing about journalism I guess you wouldnt be writing for a comic book blog. "
Gaiman actually told charities in advance, and the people giving him the money, that he was going to be giving the £45k to charity, and this is after the people who wanted him to come and speak talking to his representative, who told them said figure, and they still didn't object. The fact of the matter is that this Republican is a complete tool who didn't know all the facts.
@ those who find it wasteful
As has been reported elsewhere, the library had the budget money allocated for the specific purpose of bringing in authors, and they chose to spend it on Gaiman. Yes, they probably could have brought in 10 lesser-known authors for the same amount, but they chose to spend it the way they did. So at worst their offense was not maximizing their dollars.
But if you're saying it was an outright waste of money, then you're basically saying libraries shouldn't have a budget to bring in authors to speak. And I respectfully disagree with that.
Renowned bigot and torture apologist Chuck Dixon also does not like Neil Gaiman.
I just find it amazing that this rep is using his "My mother raised me better" excuse…well she apparently didn't if you say what you did on the radio and retracting the statement as soon as you can. He lost the geek vote, such a shame. (not really)
"If you are going to publish a nonsensical b.s. article why not just make the headline Republicans Hate Comics."
Poor little victims. Conservatives always cry "persecution" when the truth is reported.
@Paul Allen: I don't think anyone is saying libraries shouldn't have a budget to bring in speakers. Their offense, as you say, is "not maximizing their dollars" which I would revise to read "not maximizing dollars taken from the tax payers."
This is a pretty bad offense, because if you grant (1) that the library would get almost as much value (let's say half as much) from a lesser-known author, and (2) that the library could have brought in a lesser-known author for one tenth the price, then their spending $40,000 on Gaiman is tantamount to spending $8000 on two lesser-knowns, and leaving the other 32,000 tax-payer dollars on the street.
Also, the issue, at least for me, isn't so much that the library spent carelessly, but that budget policy from the government actively encourages this kind of spending (i.e. "use it or lose it").
OK, I can't necessarily speak for Minnesota, but, in most cases, state funding to libraries is very finely detailed out on what it can be spent for. Payments made to guest speakers are generally part of that detail. It's at the library's discretion as to who to hire, but, should the library not spend the money allotted for guests, it can not be spent elsewhere, as Mr. Dean and several people here seem to imply. Nor does it roll over into next years budget, so it can't be used there.
As a matter of course, if a library or library district does not spend all of the money allotted to them in a fiscal period, the state will likely take away what it considers to be the "extra", if not more, in the next budget, especially in these "cash-strapped" times.
As a result, it is typically to the library districts' future benefit to spend all of the money that the state gives it in a given year. Including the money allotted for guests.
As the payee, it is Gaiman's right to spend the money however he so chooses. If he had wanted to spend it on a mountain of ant farms, that would have been well within his rights. The fact that he gave the money to several charities speaks more to his character than the ant farms, but your mileage may vary.
Regardless, Deans assertion that Gaiman "stole" the money is pure political rhetoric; in addition, his implication that the money could have been better spent by the library in question completely ignores the fact that the money likely HAD to be spent on guests or the they would have lost it and likely not gotten it back next year. Nor does it speak well of Deans understanding of the state funding system that he attempts to blame Gaiman for what is, in his perception, a flawed spending philosophy.
It took his mammy to make him realize what he said was wrong? Please. He's just trying to stop Gaiman from filing a slander lawsuit. What the congressman said was completely false and paints a negative image of Gaiman.
Obviously Dean's a McFarlane fan
Could someone name the charities?
Oh, and just to think about how much good that 45k would have done if the Politicians were able to use it to get education on track, fight crime, and fix roads. Why, you could have hired a third of a teacher OR a fourth of a cop OR fixed about a fifth of a mile!
Its scary when people in the one job where 'thinking before you speak' should REALLY be a top concern that you hear about people doing things like this. I'm not slamming Republicans, just the man who spoke for himself in defense of nothing.
"Could someone name the charities?"
In his latest website post, Gaiman characterizes the two charities as "a sexual abuse one and a library/author one."
@Cass & @Kenneth Love The money in question came from the Minnesota Legacy Fund. This is a fund that the voters approved back in 2008 as an amendment to the state constitution to provide money for things like parks and the arts. The legacy fund gave the Stillwater library the money to bring in speakers like Gaiman to promote literacy and the library itself. By law the library couldn't use that money on stuff like computers or employee salaries, the Legacy fund was meant to be used to give people in rural and small communities some of the same cultural opprotunities that people in big cities have not pay for infrastructure. If they didn't spend the money not only would they have lost it, they would not have gotten the money for the next year to spend on future speakers.
Gaiman & the Stillwater didn't do anything wrong (at least nothing that warrants being called a thief and a pencil necked weasel). They were just using the money that the voters had given them the way they thought would best benefit the library. Obviously some people disagree and think it's a waste of money. Which is fine and it's a good debate to have considering the financial state the country is in right now.
Unfortunately Dean chose to go the low road and cast Gaiman and the library as villians out to steal honest taxpayer's money. Because in American politics nowadays we can't merely disagree on the issues, we have to have heroes and villians. Good guys and Bad guys. Kinda like a comic book.
@Cass: I'm not terribly convinced that $45k to bring in an internationally renowned author is a poor investment. I seriously question the math you're using; it seems like a jump to assume an author that commands one-tenth of Gaiman's fees is going to bring in fully half of the people that Gaiman himself would. The fact is, someone like Gaiman is going to put a hell of a lot of butts in library seats, and that's a good thing both for the library itself and for interest in the arts in general.
Good for Neil Gaiman for taking the high road on this. I wonder, however, how Mr. Dean would feel about facing charges of slander. Someone buy that man a dictionary.
@Jon: I mostly meant for the math to demonstrate how "not maximizing dollars" could translate to a serious waste of money. I don't actually believe those numbers provide any kind of precise, calibrated representation of Gaiman's value. That said, I still feel it was a waste of money at Gaiman's asking price.
@The Fourth Man: Thanks for clarifying how the money is actually distributed. I agree that Dean took the low road and should be roundly criticized for it as well as for not knowing how the funding in his own state works.
I'm way beyond tired of politicians (and pundits) who choose to use sound bites designed to play up peoples' rage and anger instead of actual facts or knowledge.
Back to Rich: the politician was criticized for saying very stupid things. He was not criticized for being a Republican. Stop playing the paranoid victim card for rightwingers (and others), when it isn't warranted.
The GOP are still attacking comic book writers/artiest!?
Im glad to see some sense for once in the comments section, and in the parts where thats lacking, intelligentish debate
Sarah Palin charges $150,000.00 to speak somewhere and she keeps that money herself.
When compared to the Infinitely more interesting and entertaining Neil Gaiman, $45,000.00 is actually a bargain.
Also, I have to ask, Is Dean related to Michelle Bachman? Or, does Minnissota just breed idiots?
Um, this whole thing is just silly – we live in a free market system – nobody went and twisted Neil's (or their) arms to do this deal – they asked, he gave a price, they accepted. That is as far as it goes on the morality and ethics scales – there is nothing else to talk about with it.
That he contributed the funds to charity – sure, that is nice and speaks to his personal character – but it is not necessary under any context as he earned the money, pure and simple. If he went and bought a sports car or hired strippers for a week or threw the money out the window to watch it flitter off, it wouldn't make any moral or ethical difference in this discussion.
But, my hope is that the ridiculous controversy has helped Neil gain new fans who didn't know about his stellar work! So I think he wins even more because of this.
keep your liberal politics out of my entertainment gosh darn it!!!
Spending tax money on this shite when most cities and states are having very real money problems seems(please note I said seems) wasteful. The argument that they had to use it or lose it just points out how the inmates are running the asylum. They should use private donations for this stuff and use the tax dollars for neccesary things.
Like keeping corporations on the welfare teat.

Mega Feraligatr by TomycaseWatch
©2014-2016 Tomycase
A new art of my M-Feraligatr design, with something different for the colors ~
Don't ask now if I will do the same kind of art for the two others, I don't know for the moment.
Coming this Fall...
This needs to happen! On fleek!
That fucking goatee. Is the exact reason I dislike Mega Blastoise. Everything else looks fine.
I'd guess at Water/Steel Typing for him.
You're a FANTASTIC artist. I look at this and immediately my brain is melted to mush by how awesome this is. Also, I was kind of thinking Spinosaurus type deal here, but this is really awesome.
Hi there! Great pic btw. I was wondering if I could use your picture in a top 10 video I was planning to make. I would give you credit by displaying your name on the screen when the picture showed up, and in the description of the video. Also, I was going to have a credits page at the end. Thx for responding!
How the flying fuck did this not make it into Pokemon X and Y or Alpha sapphire and Omega ruby??
Maybe in 7 gen games.
God I hope so. If they went through all the trouble making mega evolutions for generation one starter Pokemon, why didn't they at least make mega evolutions for the second generation starter Pokemon?
Water/Dragon for Mega Feraligatr would be awesome
oh ? Wild erection appeared !! xD
It's fucking awesome man or girl ! I dont know '_'
It's fucking awesome man or girl ! I dont know '_'
Think you need to come back and touch up this design again. Lover Feraligatr and really hope at some point it does get a Mega forme. Although I think it's jaw should possibly get a bit bigger. I mean it's known as the big jaw Pokemon so it does make sense. Kind of see it's Mega forme kind of taking on more of a Godzilla look, but at the same time keeping the gator/ crocodile appearance as well; maybe Spinosaurus?
I'm gonna use this, okay?
Needs to happen!
I hope this becomes real It looks awesome and tank-y and not bloated like M-Swampert x)
J'espère vraiment que Aligatueur aura une Méga Évolution un jour !
Pourquoi pas dans Pokemon Rubis Oméga tiens ! X3
Hum... A voir !
Qui sait que dans ses deux versions là, on pourrait avoir un starter de la 2ème génération comme dans Pokemon émeraude,tout est possible ! 😊
Sinon, j'adore ton dessin ! Aligatueur fait parti de mes Pokemon favoris de tout l'univers des Pokemon, y compris ses pré évolution ! C:

It's too much. Too much badassery for my eyes. My eyes burn!
ppppplllllllllleeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaassssseeeeeeee! become real please!!!i mean who does'nt wanna mega feraligatr on their team ?
This is badass!
Man, I love this. That barbed tail, the spikes extending from what looks like weights on its arms... It's really cool, so glad that you've done the Mega Evolution of one of my all time favourite Pokemon so fantastically well!
I commented on your Johto Starters picture a while ago and have been seeing your mega Feraligatr all over Google many times. I feel the need to say that this is by far the most exceptional, well depicted, mega evolution concept I have seen anywhere on any site. It's not overdone or gaudy and it shows just how much a brute Feraligatr is. I love how you gave him some additional armor on the limbs and extended his lower jaw while also making spikes protrude from it.
People often over-exaggerate this but I can honestly say 10/10.
People often over-exaggerate this but I can honestly say 10/10.
I just want to let you know that you are the only reason I log into this site any more... I can't stop commenting on your work. I don't know what you are doing with your life currently, but I advise you to move to japan and to start creating pokemon already. Its going to be a shame knowing the real mega feraligatr won't live up to this.
feraligatr is my favorite pokemon but mega feraligatr is the best.It's awsome
nice *__*
Damn, he looks like such a badass. I would definitely use him.
This... This should happen.
A fantastic design for a Mega Evolution of my all-time favourite pokemon! Not to mention the pose, the expression on its face and the feeling of power this scene brings!
You sir, are amazing!
i myself am not that into mega evolution all that much,but if i had to have one mega pokemon aside from Houndoom it'd be this.fantastic.absolutely fantastic.
Awesome!! I just LOVE the design!
Looks pretty sweet.
You're quite welcome. ^^
I may have stopped all interest in Pokemon years ago, but I can appreciate sweet art of it.
this jawn is on point great detailo

It seems like a million people had this problem already, and some of them were able to fix it and others couldn't. This just hit me today and I didn't have this problem before. I've been running WP for 2 mos with no issues prior. Here's where I'm at...
I cannot install new plugins or upload new media. I get the very general error "Missing a temporary folder."
I have tried to rectify this by creating a new temp folder called "tmp" in my root directory and pointing the php5.ini file to it. I believe (but I could be wrong) that I successfully attemted this because phpinfo() tells me:
Loaded Configuration File: /home/content/j/r/o/jroodman/html/php5.ini
_ENV["TMPDIR"] /var/chroot/home/content/j/r/o/jroodman/tmp
Any idea what might be causing this or can anyone figure out a solution? I'd be very grateful. Thank you for your time.

Reborn from ashes,
A past life gone to waste,
To burn in the blaze,
A soul whose name is lost,
Shall walk again,
Out of the flames,
And into the light of another life.
All of us must reborn from our last life to the new one to get the life we wish
I love the way you writte
I love the way you writte
We can always rise again. I like your word choices and the emotion they convey.
You know, I never get bored reading your work!!
Great Poem!!!

"Enjoy," she says... of course I did! That was great. I like it.

I'm trying to customize Chris Wallace's 'Gallery' child theme for Thematic.
I want to use the Custom Post Template for certain posts but it doesn't work because of Thematic's structure.
Can anyone tell me how to use this plugin with these themes?
I tried creating a new php file and selected it from the plugin drop-down list but the post still used the standard layout specified by the Gallery child-theme.
I guess I should add it to the functions.php file but have no idea what code to add.
Any help would be appreciated.
