Tattoo Stories with Travie McCoy
Listen to Travie McCoy on iHeartRadio
Gym Class Heroes frontman Travie McCoy is stepping out on his own once again, planning to release the follow-up to 2010's Lazarus in early 2014. The upcoming album's first single, "Rough Water" features Jason Mraz and details a relationship that remains strong even in the face of hardships.
[Buy 'Rough Water' ft. Jason Mraz on iTunes]
"Anyone you're close to, there's gonna be times where you're not gonna see eye to eye," Travie tells iHeartRadio. "As opposed to jumping ship -- no pun intended -- and throwing in the towel, you work through those and you learn from them.
"This song was inspired by a relationship that I ended up learning a lot about myself from. I used to be the type of guy that avoided confrontation at all costs... I'd walk away. I was just so enamored with this girl that for me, she was worth fighting for. Instead of running away and dealing with the issues and coming to some resolution, I learned that things weren't as bad as I was making them out to be. I learned a lot about myself and I thank her for that and I thank her for the song."
Check out "Rough Water" ft. Jason Mraz:
Travie stopped by the iHeartRadio Headquarters while he was in New York recently, and in addition to talking to us about his new single and upcoming album, he also let us in on the significance of a few of his many tats.
In fact, the single art for "Rough Water" is a nod to tattoo culture and its significance in Travie's life. "It's actually inspired by tattoo flash artwork," he says. "When you go into tattoo shops, they have flash, the things you look at to get ideas. The style that we chose is considered old school Sailor Jerry style tattoo artwork. Back in the day, that's the type of artwork you would see in tattoo shops... a lot of black shading, a lot of primary colors because they didn't have a lot of colored inks. Even the script is a very traditional style of lettering. The cover of that was actually tattoo inspired."
Check out Tattoo Stories with Travie McCoy below.
"I started an apprenticeship when I was 15, so I've been immersed in this whole tattoo culture since the age of 14, since I got my first tattoo. I was really intrigued, and I've always been into art. I probably wouldn't have graduated if it wasn't for art.
"Every single tattoo I have means something to me," Travie tells iHeartRadio. "Not only the tattoo itself, but it shoots me right back to when I got the tattoo, what I was talking to the artist about... sometimes I can even remember what I was listening to when I got a tattoo. It's an experience you share with the artist. I've been tattooed by four people and so I don't know you kind of build a relationship with the artist.
On the heart on his throat:
"I got that on Warped Tour '08. I got the outline done, and it all connects with the other two -- a quote over here and a chopped off hand with an old school microphone.
"It was the most painful tattoo I've gotten. I have a tattoo of Marvin Gaye on my ribs -- and that hurt really bad, the way I had to lay was uncomfortable -- but [for this one] the pain was excruciating... Totally worth it."
"The pen is obviously for writing, and [the microphone] is for speaking, and the heart is a reminder for me to write and speak from the heart. I had the quill pen done in '06 and the hand was done in '03, and they were both colored recently."
"I was on a massage table laying with my head down, so I had all the blood rushing to my head and was holding my breath. The coloring was the worst."
On the tattoos he has on his chest in memory of his family:
"These are all cousins of mine who passed away," Travie says, pointing out the names ion cursive across his chest.
"Angelo, Monique, and Isaiah. There are doves around them – just kind of an homage to them. They all died at a really young age. Monique, I believe she was 17 she was actually murdered. My cousin Angelo -- we always called him Tito but Angelo's his real name -- he died in a car accident when he was 23, and my cousin Isaiah committed suicide when we were on the I Am Music Tour with Lil Wayne. The tattoos mean a lot to me, but the placement as well, 'cause they're close to my heart. If I got a tattoo for all the friends and family that I've lost that I was close to, I'd be covered."
On the tattoo he got on Pete Wentz's TV show 'Best Ink':
"I recently got a tattoo on Pete's show Best Ink... it's a picture of my dog Stitch. I got it late last year. I haven't gotten a picture of Scrump yet... Soon. Stitch is six and Scrump is a year in November."
"Consequently enough, the guy that I apprenticed with and worked with for four years did my tattoo. I had no idea that it was. When they asked me to do the show they're like, 'Yeah some kid named DJ from Rochester... DJ Tambe' and I'm like, 'Yo! I came up doing tattoos with him."
On his bromance tat with Pete Wentz:
"Pete [Wentz] and I actually a buddy tattoo. It's from 'Young Turks' -- the Rod Stewart song. Mine says 'Young Hearts' and it's a scroll' and it goes around his arm and his says 'Be Free,' so when you put them together it says 'Young Hearts Be Free.' Bromance!"
On his Hall & Oates tattoo:
"I actually have the cover of Hall & Oates Private Eyes. Hall & Oates is my favorite group of all time, and people are like, 'Who?' The thing is a lot of people don't necessarily know the name, but the main Hall & Oates songs, they know every word. To have that kind of catalog and have so many songs that people know without even knowing is amazing and something I aspire to.
"For me it's nostalgic. My dad is a bass player, so I came up listening to everything, but mostly Philly soul stuff. Hall & Oates is one that always stuck with me."
On the tattoos on his knuckles:
"I have to get them touched up, but my knuckles say 'Stay Gold' from my favorite Robert Frost poem. It's from The Outsiders, a poem called 'Nothing Gold Can Stay,' and it's just basically about innocence and life. The first line is, 'Nature's first green is gold, its heart is few to hold.' It's talking about life and death, how things are beautiful and they eventually become decrepit and crumble and die, and then things start all over again. It's about the cycle of life, and so 'Stay Gold' is kind of a reminder for me to stay young and stay innocent. I'm just a big grown ass kid."
On his 'Jerry' tat:
"From our second full length album, there's a character named Jerry, and that's him. The whole Jerry thing actually came from a tubing trip on the Guadalupe River -- we rented our tubes from a place called Jerry's.
"We floated down the Guadalupe River drinking PBRs, and there's a rope swinging from a tree. We were trying to convince somebody to swing from it, and we finally got Eric to do it, and he got up there and he freaked out, so we started going, 'Jerry! Jerry!' And he was like f*** it, and he did it. So now before we play a show, that's our ritual. We all put our hands in the air and we do the Jerry's chant. It gets us hyped up.
"So it blossomed into this whole thing... the story behind the artwork for As Cruel as School Children is the big chubby blue kid on the cover. We decided to name him Jerry, it just made sense. I'm probably one of hundreds of kids who've gotten the Jerry tattoo since."

Wedding bells were ringing on Saturday (July 11) as Jennie Garth tied the knot with David Abrams at an afternoon wedding at Garth's home in Santa Ynez, California.
Following their April engagement, the "Beverly Hills: 90210" star and her handsome beau made vows in front of family and friends including Jennie's three daughters Luca, Lola and Fiona.
Love is in the air for Jennie Garth, as her rep has confirmed that she accepted a marriage proposal from her handsome boyfriend Dave Abrams.
According to insiders, the happy couple got engaged around the "Beverly Hills: 90210" starlet's birthday and last week Abrams tweeted, "Happy Birthday @jenniegarth #loveumoreandmoreeachday."
Giving fans a sneak peek before its summer premiere, ABC family unleashed the first teaser for Jennie Garth and Tori Spelling's upcoming series "Mystery Girls" on Tuesday (March 18).
The "Beverly Hills, 90210" co-stars are officially making their big return to the small screen as "two former detective TV show starlets brought back together by a real-life mystery."
Making a colorful appearance in Ridgewood, NJ, Jennie Garth promoted her new book at Bookends today (March 5).
Gorgeous with her blond locks down about her shoulders, the 41-year-old beauty wore an orange half jacket over a maroon button-down complete with hip-hugging skinny jeans.
Coming together for a good cause, Jennie Garth and Mario Lopez volunteered at the Day of Pure Goodness event at the Los Angeles Regional Food Bank on Wednesday (February 5).
Stuffing food bags, the duo donned blue aprons baring the Halos logo as part of a joint effort of Wonderful Halos and Feeding America.
Taking control of people's perceptions of herself by writing her own memoirs, Jennie Garth is set to release "Deep Thoughts from a Hollywood Blonde" this spring.
The book is described as a humorous and revealing tell-all about filming "Beverly Hills, 90210," her relationships amongst castmates, and her new identity as a single mom after divorcing Peter Facinelli.
If you had a crush on the feisty "Beverly Hills, 90210" star in the past, you're in luck as Jennie Garth broke up with her boyfriend, Michael Shimbo.
The 41-year-old actress dated the media exec for about three months and reportedly split over the weekend while in Austin, Texas for the Formula One U.S. Grand Prix.
They left audiences enthralled with all the drama on "Beverly Hills, 90210" and now Tori Spelling and Jennie Garth are teaming up on the small screen again.
Also serving as executive producers, the two blondes will star in "Mystery Girls" on ABC Family.

A Change of Heart on Tying The Knot
By: R.G. Wade, PhD.
"She barred me trom his hospital room!"
"How could she do that? I thought you had power of attorney!"
"Well, I do. But she went to court and had herself declared his guardian and had the power of attorney revoked."
"I didn't know she could do that. Can't you go to court and fight it?"
"I ask my lawyer and he said he would be a long, nasty battle and that even after all the expense and bad publicity the court might still side with her because she is his mother and I am not family and I would have gone through it all for nothing."
"Well, what do you want to do?"
"l just want this nightmare to be over and get on with my life."
This was my turning point. That day some six years ago I began to question my belief that 'marriage' was a religious thing and for 'breeders' and not necessary for gays and lesbians. As the rest of the nightmare unfolded, my friend was denied seeing his lover of eleven years over whom he had spent endless, sleepless nights watching and for whom he had spent endless days caring. He was even barred from getting infomation about his lover's status from the hopital.
In the end he was not allowed to say goodbye to his dying partner. He would not have even been told that his lover had died, except that a nurse broke policy and called him on the sly. He was not even told by his lover's mother what funeral arrangements there would be or where his lover's final resting place would be. Not one chance to say goodbye - even after he died.
In our society, we take for granted many legal 'rights' and privileges that accompany marriage, such as the spousal designation of next of kin. No one challeges the right of a spouse in a 'heterosexual' marriage to determine final health care or funeral arrangements nor to inherit the estate in the absence of a will nor to raise children of a deceased spouse, unless there are unusual circumstances.
But, all too often family members of a gay or lesbian do not respect any of these rights of a partner and step in to 'take over.' The court system all too often fails to recognize any claim on the part of the gay/lesbian partner and sides with the family.This blantant disrepect for the relationship between two people never happens when the relationship is sanctioned by a legal marriage. This is why I now believe that gays and lesbians should have the 'right' of legal marriage. Not for religious but for legal equity.
We deserve and need the same legal protections and privileges that straight people take for granted. Our society grants numerous 'benefits' to couples of legal marriages including final rites, tax benefits, and spousal insurance benefits.
It is time that we demanded these same 'benefits' and refuse to be treated like third-class citizens.

Noisebridge Distilled
[edit] Noisebrige Distilled
[edit] About
This page gives people some info about the art of building, maintaining, and/or operating a still...as well as some other associated things.
[edit] Fermenting
A lot of stuff in a still is fermented. We've been keeping fermentation logs of stuff we've brewed in the space and then distilled. If you are new to this whole thing, the logs are a good place to start for some guidance on how to run some of your own brews.
[edit] The Equipment
[edit] Still Components
A pot, and a condenser :). Optionally, a reflux column. Some Noise Extraction and Brewing equipment is available in the space, and could potentially be used to accomplish some of this.
[edit] Materials
- Glass is awesome for teaching and for beginners, but has crappy thermal properties.
- Copper with integrated heating coils is the choice of many pro distillers, but it is a real bear to keep clean, and reacts very badly to acids and bases.
[edit] Resources
[edit] Table of Boiling Points
- Methyl Acetate = 56.9C [1]
- Methanol = 64.7C [2]
- Ethyl Acetate = 77.1C [3]
- Ethanol = 78C [4]
- 1-Propanol = 97.1C [5]
- Acetic Acid = 118C (though this and other acids can react to form esters!) [6]
[edit] Incredibly Useful Graphs
- Vapor Phase composition vs. Distillate Temperature - for EtOH / Water
- Vapor Phase composition vs. Pot Composition - assists in determining efficient reflux ratios when operating a reflux still (EtOH / Water)
[edit] Other Neato Stuff
- Proofing table - relates specific gravity of a liquid to its US Proof value.
- Industrial Data for Ethanol - otherwise known as everything you could have ever possibly asked about the solvent ethanol, in a 47 page document.
[edit] Legality
Owning and operation of a still is legal in California as given by part 23367 of the ABC code. Full unabridged (read: annoying) text of the 2010 ABC code can be found here: [7]
Note: Still laws vary state to state, so check to make sure you aren't breaking any laws!

Hello there,
I have managed to run R3 using UNetbootIn in an 8 GiB flash drive. Added the remaining 1.2 GB for persistence so I can keep my files etc.
The problem is, I do not want other people to be able to mess with the USB Stick if they find it [Boot it etc.].
I tried a simpleto change the root password but it doesn't seem to prompt on boot.Code:passwd
Is there any way I can request login during boot or even encrypt the drive and request the decryption password on boot?
Thanks a lot.
P.S.: I am installing BT5 using "Install Backtrack" on another 8 GiB flash drive right now hoping it will work but still needs about 20' to go.

Lou Dobbs Is Wrong: "Forced Union Membership" Is Already Illegal
Fox Business host Lou Dobbs falsely claimed that right-to-work laws eliminate forced union membership. In fact, federal law already prohibits unions from requiring membership, and right-to-work laws actually allow workers to receive union benefits without having to pay fees.
Michigan Becomes Right-To-Work State
AP: Michigan Governor Signs Right-To-Work Bills Into Law. On December 12, Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder signed into law a pair of right-to-work bills, which "ban requirements that nonunion employees pay unions for negotiating contracts and other services," the Associated Press reported. [Associated Press, 12/11/12 [1]]
Fox's Dobbs: "What This Law Changes Is Forced Union Membership"
Fox Business' Dobbs: "What This Law Changes Is Forced Union Membership. I Repeat: Forced Union Membership." Discussing Michigan's new law on the December 11 edition of his Fox Business program, host Lou Dobbs mislead viewers about the effect of right-to-work laws. He claimed that "Michigan workers still tonight have the right to form and join a union. They still have the right to bargain collectively. And what this law changes is forced union membership. I repeat, forced union membership." [Fox Business, Lou Dobbs Tonight, 12/11/12]
Forced Union Membership Is Already Illegal Under Federal Law
Maine Center For Economic Policy: "Under Federal Labor Law, Workers Cannot Be Legally Required To Join A Union." The Maine Center for Economic Policy laid out how forced union membership is illegal in a February 2011 op-ed: "A right-to-work law is not needed to protect nonunion workers. Several federal laws already protect the rights of nonunion employees in unionized workplaces, such as the NLRB vs. General Motors Supreme Court decision in 1963, and the Communication Workers vs. Beck decision of 1988. Under federal labor law, workers cannot be legally required to join a union as part of a collective bargaining contract." [Maine Center For Economic Policy, 2/19/11 [2]]
National Right To Work: "No Employee In The United States Can Legally Be Required" To Be A Full Union Member. Even National Right To Work, an organization that promotes right-to-work laws, acknowledges that forced union membership is already illegal. Informing workers of their rights concerning unions, Right To Work makes clear that "[n]o employee in the United States can legally be required to be a full-dues-paying, formal union member. But in many states, an employee can be forced to pay certain union dues or be fired from his or her job." [National Right To Work, accessed 12/11/12 [3]]
Instead, Right-To-Work Laws Allow Workers To Benefit From Union Contracts Without Paying A Fee
NLRB: Workers That Don't Want Full Union Membership "Pay Only That Share Of Dues Used Directly For Representation" Of Union Contract They Work Under. The National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) explains that workers do not have to be full union members, but instead must only pay for the union representation they receive by working at a union shop, regardless of their membership status. The NLRB says that "employees who object to full union membership may continue as 'core' members and pay only that share of dues used directly for representation, such as collective bargaining and contract administration. Known as objectors, they are no longer full members but are still protected by the union contract." NLRB also notes that right-to-work states allow non-union members to pay nothing, "even though all workers are protected by the collective bargaining agreement negotiated by the union." [National Labor Relations Board, accessed 12/11/12 [4]]
CEPR: Right-To-Work Allows Workers "To Benefit From Union Representation Without Having To Pay For Union Representation." In a February 28, 2011, post on the Center for Economic and Policy Research (CEPR), economist Dean Baker detailed how right-to-work laws "prohibit contracts that require that all the workers who benefit from union representation to pay for union representation." And because unions must legally represent every worker in a bargaining unit, "[t]his means not only that non-members get the same wages and benefits that the union negotiates with the employer, but the union is also obligated to represent any non-member individually if that worker gets in a dispute with the employer over an issue covered in the contract." Baker explained:
For example, if a non-union member is threatened with a discipline action or firing, the union must defend this worker's rights just the same as if they were in the union.
Right-to-work laws prohibit workers from being required to pay for this union representation. What right-to-work laws actually guarantee is the ability for a worker to benefit from union representation without having to pay for union representation. [CEPR, 2/28/11 [5]]
Center For American Progress: "Right-To-Work" Laws "Allow Some Workers To Receive A Free Ride." A Center for American Progress report titled "Right-to-Work 101" explained that "right-to-work" laws simply "allow some workers to receive a free ride" by receiving benefits from a union contract without having to pay for it:
In states where the law exists, "right-to-work" makes it illegal for workers and employers to negotiate a contract requiring everyone who benefits from a union contract to pay their fair share of the costs of administering it. Right-to-work has nothing to do with people being forced to be union members.
Federal law already guarantees that no one can be forced to be a member of a union, or to pay any amount of dues or fees to a political or social cause they don't support. What right-to-work laws do is allow some workers to receive a free ride, getting the advantages of a union contract -- such as higher wages and benefits and protection against arbitrary discipline -- without paying any fee associated with negotiating on these matters.
That's because the union must represent all workers with the same due diligence regardless of whether they join the union or pay it dues or other fees and a union contract must cover all workers, again regardless of their membership in or financial support for the union. In states without right-to-work laws, workers covered by a union contract can refuse union membership and pay a fee covering only the costs of workplace bargaining rather than the full cost of dues. [Center for American Progress Action Fund, 2/2/12 [6]]

Suno Fall 2011
Fashion is fixated on the young. So what a joy to see such beauty inspired by stylish and vivacious women who were alive when both Coco Chanel and Christian Dior were designing the clothing that bears their names.
When Max Osterweis and Erin Beatty began thinking about their fall collection for Suno, they kept returning to women like this—Iris Apfel and the late Dodie Rosekrans, for instance—who, as Osterweis observed, reached an age at which they're unafraid to mix it all together. Of course, mixing things together, especially prints, is what this brand has always done best. And while it can come across as casual, the kind of clothes good only for tropical getaways, this collection felt polished and mature, which Beatty says was intentional: "We want to grow creatively and explore within our own box."
Silhouettes were mostly straight—boxy tops and linear, mid-calf length skirts—and the outstanding prints were subtle florals shown in subdued mustards, blues, and taupes (save for two fantastic black-and-bright sequined looks). Jewelry, by Lizzie Fortunato, was kept to a minimum, a tusk-pendant necklace here, ram-head-shaped earrings there. Meanwhile, hair was pretty maximum, sky-high pompadours that went wild in the back. Beatty says that was intentional, too, because so much of what is appealing about the style of Apfel and her peers (and as a result, what's so appealing about this collection) is that little piece of "fraying maturity, that little piece of craziness." Makes sense to us.

Tonawanda couple hit with huge sewer line repair bill
When Friday's powerful rainstorm hit Western New York, Matt and Stephanie Thomas noticed a peculiar odor emanating from their basement on Dupont Avenue in the Town of Tonawanda.
"Our sump pump was running a lot more than we thought it should be," said Stephanie Thomas, 26, who has owned the home south of Sheridan Drive with her husband since March 2011.
Roy's Plumbing came out Monday morning and started digging. The young couple hoped it would be any easy fix, but the news only got worse.
"They found out it was more than clogged," she said.
Their lateral sewer line extends all the way out past the middle of the street and drops at a 90-degree angle another 10 feet where it meets the main sewer line maintained by the town. Over time, the couple believes the ground shifted, cracking the vertical clay tile piping, which then filled with soil, causing the backup.
The Thomases' problem is an increasingly common one as the region's infrastructure ages. The City of Lackawanna, for example, has been dealing with sinkholes that left residents with repair bills in the thousands of dollars in some cases. The Town of Tonawanda is in the midst of major infrastructure updates, including the Parker-Fries project, which is only the first part of an anticipated decades-long, townwide sewer system update costing millions of dollars.
By Wednesday, Dupont Avenue was closed to through traffic, and a 16-foot-deep hole had been dug down to the main sewer line by an excavator parked between the sidewalk and road. A seven-foot-deep hole was dug in the Thomases' small front yard to replace their lateral line with PVC pipe, leaving a large mound of dirt behind.
Now they're on the hook for at least $13,500 they hadn't anticipated. It's money they had hoped to use as a down payment for a bigger house and to start a family. The couple feel any pipes beyond their property line is the town's responsibility.
"It's very frustrating," said Stephanie Thomas, who works as a paralegal. "I just don't feel like the part under the road that's connecting down to the main is completely our responsibility."
But the town sees it differently.
"The town's perspective is that when a sewer is dug up and we find there's problems with it, the homeowner is responsible for replacing it right to the saddle tap at the main," said Carl Heimiller, the town's supervising building inspector, who visited the site Tuesday.
That's also true in Buffalo, where water supply line breaks are not uncommon and a water service line protection program is offered through a private company for a few dollars a month.
In the Thomases' case, the Roy's Plumbing crew also discovered that the sewer line from a home across the street ties into their line in an unusual configuration, Matt Thomas said.
The neighbors agreed to split the $7,000 cost of repairing that vertical portion of the line, he said. But that's the line the Thomases contend should be covered by the town.
"It is not our fault the system was designed wrong, and we should not have to pay for their mistake," Stephanie Thomas said.
Heimiller said it's an "illegal connection" so the homeowners' lines had to be separated. And it may not be unique to the Thomases' home.
"I thought it was unusual but it appears that there might be more than that over there," he said.
Meanwhile, the Thomases' costs continue to add up. They're hoping their homeowners insurance will cover some of the repairs.
"If that doesn't work out, we talked about maybe taking out a home equity loan if we have to, or the plumbing guys have a payment plan so we're going to try to work that out," she said.
The crew will be back on Dupont Avenue today for a fourth day of work, which means another day the first-time homeowners are unable to use their laundry, bathroom or dishwasher.
"They really don't want us pouring any liquids down the drain," Stephanie Thomas said. "So it's like camping basically in a tent."

|Jelly Belly jelly bean artistry on exhibit at the Children's Museum of Indianapolis.
|Princess Elizabeth at Jelly Belly in Wisconsin.
Even better: Give them frosted cupcakes as a canvas and enter the Jelly Belly cupcake challenge for a chance to win $10,000. You have until July to submit winning entries.
Fortunately, there is amazing inspiration for jelly bean art at both the Jelly Belly Candy Company visitor center in Pleasant Prairie, Wis., and at a special Jelly Belly art exhibit that opened this month at the Children's Museum of Indianapolis.
A rainbow of jelly bean color
The timing of the new exhibit feels timely with Easter upon us, but Jelly Belly has commissioned serious works of jelly bean art since the 1980s. That's when the late Peter Rocha created the first bean portrait. Appropriately, it was of Ronald Reagan, Jelly Belly's most famous fan.
With 50 core flavors (and colors and/or patterns to distinguish them), a palette of jelly beans is better than a super-sized box of colored pencils. You'll get everything from deep blueberry (perfect for vivid Van Gogh landscapes) or flesh tones of peach or pina colada for portraits ("Girl in Jelly Belly Pearl Earring" anyone?)
|Van Gogh's "Starry Night" gets beaned.
Masterpieces of Jelly Bean Art opened April 9 at Indianapolis' children's museum and runs through June. After seeing it, you may never look at Easter candy the same way again (or you'll find yourself wondering what could be done with M&Ms and malted milk mini-eggs).
The Jelly Belly exhibit includes sweet twists on Van Gogh's Starry Night, Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa, Grant Wood's American Gothic, and more.
Here's a brain teaser: Ask the kids to guess how many beans go into each portrait. (9,000 to 12,000 jelly beans). If they're really good, they'll decipher chocolate pudding eyes, coconut teeth, very cherry headscarves and green apple dresses. It's like a whole 'nother version of paint-by-number.
|Girl with a Pearl Earring in Indianapolis.
If you can't make it in time for the exhibit, it's still worth a road trip. It's arguably the best and most engaging children's museum in the country.
And if you're traveling from Minnesota, the Dakotas or Wisconsin to get there, guess what's on the way?
Yep, Jelly Belly. It's a virtual factory tour, a train ride and a chance to see jelly bean art year-round for free.

With another wave of injuries hitting the Clippers, and probably a little stung by losses in three of the previous four games, Coach Vinny Del Negro was a little testy prior to Wednesday's game against Philadelphia.
His point? The Clippers can't worry about lineup rotations. They have games to win.
"It's funny," Del Negro said, not smiling. "I hear a lot of talk out there about rotations, 'I've got to get a rotation.' One, we can't do it because we've had so many injuries. Two, it's hard for us to do because guys are in and out of the lineup and three, guys have minute restrictions.
"So people talk about rotations, of course we'd like to get a rotation but it doesn't work like that. So everybody out there talking about it needs to do a little research and understand it doesn't work like that.
" You want to talk about certain things that we're struggling with that have some merit behind them, yeah, talk about them, that's great, that's your job. . . . Every team's got to work through injuries. There's no excuses and we have enough guys in there to win basketball games and I expect us, hopefully, to continually understand that, play with a higher level of urgency and intensity. That's what it's going to take. Guys have to understand the level they need to play at."
The Clippers played without Chauncey Billups, Eric Bledsoe and Ronny Turiaf available. Jamal Crawford is still working through his ankle injury. Maalik Wayns, on his second 10-day contract with the Clippers, started the second quarter at point guard.
"We're capable, we've proven that, we just haven't done it for long periods and that's what we've got to get to," Del Negro said. "It's a mental toughness, a discipline to do it and at times we have and it's really helped us. And when we haven't, it's really bothered us."
- On guard
Philadelphia scored only 36 points in the first half Wednesday, a defensive performance by the Clippers that came none too soon for Del Negro.
"It's one of those things that I thought we did pretty well at early on but since All-Star break, I'd say, I don't think we've been sharp for whatever reason," Del Negro said. "You can pinpoint a lot of things, but it comes down to executing the play and everybody being on the same page and hopefully we'll get back to that.
"We have to be tougher, we have to be more physical, it's that time of the year. Guys have to understand that the level you have to play at every night. To beat us is a good win for a lot of teams. It's another level we've got to take our game up to, and that's a little bit of a learning curve for some of the guys who haven't been through it."

Best Of :: Sports & Recreation
Okay, so the bottom floor of this longtime videogame palace is, technically, more like a sunken living room than an actual underground arcade. But for generations of gamers, it's also a time machine dressed up in a cheesy castle coating. Sure, there's a sprinkling of high-tech driving and first-person-shooter games, but the reason this place blows Dave & Buster's out of the water is the world-class collection of vintage arcade games. We're talking all-time classics like Pac-Man, Donkey Kong, and the original Star Wars, as well as forgotten gems such as Joust, Moon Patrol, 1942, and Ivan "Ironman" Stewart's Super Off Road. Not to mention more than two dozen classic and contemporary pinball machines and all the old-school air hockey action you can handle. Feathered hair and acid-washed jeans are suggested but not required.
Residents of the 40-plus houses in the square formed at Weldon Avenue and Fairmount between 11th and 12th streets in Phoenix are hiding a secret. The subdivision, which opened in 1928, includes a three-acre private park in the square of land concealed by properties. The park originally housed a golf course, artisan well, tennis court, fireplaces, and a swimming pool made from native stone. The pool may be all that's left of the original plan, but the fact that most of Phoenix remains unaware of this hidden gem proves that the garden is still a safe, quiet, and secret place to play.
Sitting in a Valley watering hole sipping a few cold ones, it's hard to imagine that human beings not so different from us were here, doing things, hoping for things, dreaming of things long before we were ever around. Occasionally, we must stare history in the face to recognize how far we've come and, perhaps, realize how far we have to go. There's no better place to do this than the Holbert Trail at South Mountain Park. Here, petroglyphs inscribed in the living rock by Hohokam People centuries ago. See abstract depictions of animals and hunters. Many have attested to the petroglyphs' spiritual significance. We don't like to bring religion into things, but it's hard not to feel something (spiritual or otherwise) when one bears witness to evidence of those who came before us.
Long before urban scavenger hunts and geo-caching became popular, ASU had a built-in mystery search that was a rite of passage for coeds. In its early years, the location of the college's secret garden often remained a mystery until a student accidentally stumbled upon it while looking for a quiet place to study. But with the rumor-mill- slash-verbal-diarrhea-inducer that is the Internet, the secret garden started getting outed and, eventually, arrows indicating its location were spray-painted on sidewalks around the quad at Dixie Gammage Hall and West Hall. (Sorry, secret garden activists, but the jig is already up.) The mystery may be solved, but the grassy area, with its banana trees and passion fruit vines, is still beautiful, despite the now heavily trod lawn. And there still are secrets to be discovered within the garden's confines — for example, the white sapote trees have leaves that smell like fresh popcorn when scratched.
Whether you call it Hayden Butte, Tempe Butte, or "A" Mountain — all valid names, as far as we could tell from our research — this rock pile is sweet for the feet. If you live in Tempe or south Scottsdale, this is the closest you can to an experience that's in the same ballpark as Camelback Mountain or Piestewa Peak, the two most popular Valley mountains for hiking. But beyond the great workout and momentary escape to something akin to nature, hike this one for the scenic view — especially at night. Looking northeast, the bathtub-like Town Lake and vehicle lights on Loop 202 resemble a moving diorama of some futuristic dome-town, like a scene from the 1970s sci-fi movie Logan's Run. Later this year, the antenna and communications equipment at the top will be moved to the soon-to-be-finished West Sixth towers, formerly known as the Centerpoint Towers, which will give the peak a more natural feel. The big "A" will still be there — and still will change color every now and then. This year, not only did University of Arizona students paint the "A" red and blue again, but some folks excited about the death of Osama bin Laden turned the letter a patriotic red, white, and blue.
This place is not the American Museum of Natural History — let's get that out of the way up front. Night at the Museum Part Whatever ain't gonna be filmed anywhere in Mesa. But for locals craving a quick trip to the Cretaceous and other dino-filled periods, the Arizona MNH simply roars. In "Dinosaur Hall," the skulls of triceratops' relatives and various skeletons do wonders for our sense of wonder — it's easy to forget these magnificent, strange creatures once lived on this planet. Each time we're there, we take at least half an hour to wander past "Dinosaur Mountain," the three-story dino-rama with a cool waterfall and large, animatronic T.rex, stegosaurus, and other lizard-like creatures, large and small. The kids think this exhibit is even better now that they're older and not scared of it. They still aren't too old for the Paleo Dig Pit, though, a nifty spot in which tykes sift through rocks to "discover" dino eggs and bones. If you want a close encounter with dinosaurs, the Mesa museum delivers everything but the bite marks.

Halliburton Foundation Gives $35,000 to Mines
GOLDEN, Colo., Sept. 24, 2009 - Halliburton Foundation Inc. made a $35,000 gift to Colorado School of Mines that will support graduate and undergraduate students in the Geology and Geological Engineering Department and the Minority Engineering Program's outreach initiatives. Over the past three decades, Halliburton's support for Colorado School of Mines has totaled more than $1.6 million.
With $20,000 of the gift, the company continues its Halliburton Scholarship Program at the university, a program that was begun in 2007 and has provided support to numerous Mines students. Scholarships and fellowships for 2009-10 will support undergraduate and graduate students in the Department of Geology and Geological Engineering, helping Mines continue to attract talented students to prepare future industry leaders. The department also houses the Halliburton Foundation Geomechanics Lab, established through a Halliburton Foundation grant in 2003.
"We appreciate the continued support that Halliburton has generously given over the years to the Department of Geology and Geological Engineering at Mines," says Department Head John Humphrey. "This contribution will again be used for scholarships and fellowships for talented undergraduate and graduate students who seek to be the next generation of leaders in the field of petroleum geoscience. Support by Halliburton for their education at Mines ensures the industry will continue to grow and thrive."
The remainder of the Halliburton Foundation gift will support two outreach programs offered through Mines' Minority Engineering Program. Established in 1989, MEP works to recruit, retain and graduate Native American, African American, Asian American and Hispanic men and women in the areas of math, science and engineering. The Summer Minority Engineering Training (SUMMET) and Challenge programs are essential to MEP's efforts to encourage young people to pursue their education at Mines and increase the diversity of the nation's technical workforce. Halliburton Foundation funding will support SUMMET, a residential science and engineering program for promising high school sophomore and junior minority students; and Challenge, a four-week summer academic transitional bridge program for selected freshmen who otherwise may not qualify to attend Mines.
"Halliburton has a longstanding, valued relationship with Colorado School of Mines," said Jeff Coburn, Northern Region Cementing Manager for the company. "We hope the funding of these student scholarships and outreach programs will allow Mines students to offset their academic costs and will enable us to bridge the gap in increasing the diversity of the energy industry workforce in the coming years."
Established in 1965, the Halliburton Foundation supports education at all levels and charitable organizations through employee matching gifts, direct grants and scholarships. For more information, visit www.halliburton.com.

Any1 know a good gym in or around leeds area.. Cheap??
Is cheap your main criteria?
Andy Lillis, Former Cagewarriors President
There's a few gyms in Leeds and the surrounding areas - depends whereabouts you are. Closest to the centre is Leeds Cage, then you've got Gracie Barra etc. However, if you're willing to travel a bit further out for the great MMA training then there's trains directly to Dewsbury to hit us up at AVT on Bradford Road, Batley. Allegiance is close by there too, and you've got great guys over in Bradford at Fulinkazan.

Scientists hope formula becomes new life saver
This article appears in the Summer 2010 issue of South Carolina Medicine, a University of South Carolina School of Medicine magazine.
Trauma surgeon Steve Fann has seen it all too often: multiple-injury victims rushed to the emergency room where surgery stops the bleeding but doesn't prevent death, days later, from shock.
Nine million cases of severe hemorrhagic injury—the No. 1 killer of youth—are treated every year. Fann, a School of Medicine faculty member, has long wanted a better alternative to the IV fluids traditionally used to stabilize victims of severe blood loss. He soon might have it.
Steve Fann
With two colleagues, Fann has helped develop a new IV fluid that in initial testing has proven to foster faster recovery with far fewer complications.
"We got a patent through the Intellectual Property Office, formed a company, and we're hoping to begin human trials later this year with our product," said Mike Yost, director of research in the surgery department and chief operating officer of Vitasol LLC, which holds the license for the patented fluid called Resuscinex.
Resuscinex works by drawing water out of the microscopic spaces between cells and into the vascular system. This restores blood pressure, which always drops sharply in shock victims who have lost blood, and also restores normal heart rate.
Mike Yost
In addition, the formula provides energy to cells and increases blood flow in capillaries, the tiny vessels that are critical for supplying oxygen and nutrients to tissue.
"You usually need to administer about three-times as much traditional IV fluid as the amount of blood that's been lost," Fann said. "That restores blood pressure, but it causes a lot of other problems like inflammation, dilution of the blood and normal clotting, tissue injury, and stiffened lungs.
"We've found that Resuscinex is effective at one-tenth the dose of standard fluids; it reduces body-wide inflammation and doesn't create the nasty side effects that traditional IV fluids do."
John Propst
While human trials will provide the definitive test, Fann said, the product's ability to hasten recovery without complications could reduce stays in intensive care, lower the incidence of pneumonia, and generally cut costs associated with treating victims of hemorrhagic shock.
With Fann and Yost working the science side of Resuscinex, John Propst, who earned a Ph.D. in biomedical science from the School of Medicine and will soon complete an MBA from the Darla Moore School of Business, has been developing the business end. They hope to attract seed capital to develop a partnership, get FDA approval, and, ultimately, manufacture Resuscinex in South Carolina.
"This would have an immediate bedside impact, and it could be packaged for use on the battlefield to treat wounded soldiers," Yost said. "We haven't just built another mouse trap with Resuscinex; this is a whole new paradigm for treating shock victims."
Vitasol LLC's initial business development efforts were funded by a grant from SCLaunch, a collaboration among the S.C. Research Authority and the state's three research universities to facilitate applied research, product development, and commercialization programs.

LAST CHANCE Autocross - 11/11/12
Welcome to the last BMW CCA LA Chapter/ Beverly Hills BMW autocross event of the 2012 season. We are excited to again race at Auto Club Speedway in Fontana California.
Registration is $65 if you pay in advance and $75 (cash only) if you register at the event. Your entry fee includes instruction, lunch and water. Helmet rentals are $10 each. Extra lunches are $10 each. Please note that you must be a BMW CCA member to attend this event (see NEWS ALERTS below for more). If you are not currently a member, please visit http://www.bmwcca.org and join.
The gates open at 6:00. Registration and tech open at 7:00. There will be a mandatory driver's meeting at 8:30. First car out will be at 9:00. The event will end by 5:00 or dusk.
1. We will have gokarts available for drivers to rent! There will be one separate kart run group which, if all goes well (no guarantees), will be timed. No trophies for a win here...just bragging rights. Please note that if it is raining we will cancel the karts for safety.
2. Due to a lack of use at the last two events, there will be NO SKID PAD this time.
3. VOLUNTEERS - BMW CCA is an all volunteer organization. None of us get paid to do this. We can only survive as a program with the hard work of people giving their time to help. We need workers on Saturday before the event to setup the track, and Sunday of the event to help run the event. People who work don't pay to run so there is an incentive (besides just the personal satisfaction of being involved in running a great event). Please email us to volunteer.
4. BMW CCA Membership - BMW CCA members may bring up to 5 guests. If you are not a member but are friends with somebody who is, please consider having that person bring you as a guest. The member pays your entry fee and whatever reimbursement arrangements you make between the two of you are separate. Contact us for additional information.
5. MINORS - if you plan to bring somebody under 18 to the event, whether they are driving or not, you MUST bring a completed and properly notarized minor waiver. No exceptions. Forms can be found at http://www.losangelesbmwcca.org/social
No refund or credit will be issued if you cancel less than 7 days before the event. Before that we will issue you a credit toward a future event only.
We run RAIN OR SHINE so plan on the event going forward no matter what!

Bill Clinton named 2013's 'Father of the Year'
(Becket Adams) Former U.S. President Bill Clinton is officially 2013's "Father of the Year" thanks to an award Tuesday from the non-profit National Father's Day Council.
"Clinton's daughter, Chelsea, was just 12 years old when the family moved into the White House and Bill Clinton and wife former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton worked to keep her out of the limelight," Reuters gushes.
"One of the most iconic images of the family to come out of that period was when the three were photographed, walking hand in hand across the White House lawn to a waiting helicopter shortly after the news broke of Bill Clinton's affair with White House intern Monica Lewinsky," the Reuters report adds, perhaps missing the irony of bringing up the president's infamous sexual appetite in a story about his "Father of the Year" award.

Begin the development of taking with yourself.When evil fills the inanimate and animate universes change bad conditions to the bodhi path.
Drive all blame into one.Be grateful to everyone.
The insurpassable protection of emptiness is to see the manifestations of bewilderment as the four kayas.An excellent means is to have the four provisions.
In order to bring any situation to the path quickly as soon as it is met, join it with meditation.The concise epitome of heart instruction: work with -five forces.-
The instructions for transference in the Mahayana are the -five forces.- Behavior is important.The purpose of all dharma is contained in one point.
Meditation is the source, compassion is the overflow of that source. The non-meditative man has no energy for love, for compassion, for celebration. The non-meditative person is disconnected from his own source of energy; he is not in contact with the ocean. He has a little bit of energy that is created by food, by air, by matter - he lives on physical energy.
Physical energy has limitations. It is born at a certain moment in time, and it dies at another moment in time. Between birth and death it exists. It is like a lamp that burns because of the oil in it - once the oil is exhausted, the flame goes out.
The meditative person comes to know something of the infinite, becomes bridged with the inexhaustible source of energy. His flame goes on and on, his flame knows no cessation. It cannot disappear, because in the first place it never appears. It cannot die, because it is unborn.
How to bridge oneself with this inexhaustible source of life, abundance, richness? You can call that inexhaustible source existence, or you can call it truth or anything that you wish to call it. But one thing is absolutely certain: that man is a wave of something infinite.
If the wave looks inward it will find the infinite. If it goes on looking outwards it remains disconnected - disconnected from its own kingdom, disconnected from its own nature. Jesus calls this nature the kingdom of God. He again and again says, "The kingdom of God is within you. Go within."
Meditation is nothing but a bridge to go within. Once meditation has happened, the only thing that remains to happen is compassion.
Buddha, the original master in Atisha's line, said that unless compassion happens, don't remain contented with meditation itself. You have gone only halfway, you have yet to go a little further. Meditation, if it is true, is bound to overflow into compassion. Just as when a lamp is lit it immediately starts radiating light, it immediately starts dispersing darkness; once the inner light is lit, compassion is its radiation.

May session course asks, 'What is green media literacy?'
David Whiteman and Jason Craig are teaching "YouTube, Cell Phones, and the Politics of an Emerging Green Media" this May session at the Green Quad Learning Center.
"This is the second year for the course," said Whiteman, Green Quad principal.
"Our primary aim is to explore how YouTube, cell phones, blogs, and citizen journalism are changing the media landscape and allowing a grassroots, decentralized 'green media' to emerge. We'll look at emerging trends in media consumption and production. We'll talk about grass roots media and the ability of citizens to create their own media organizations and use new technologies for that."
David Whiteman
Whiteman and Craig, who is assistant director of Green Quad and has a background in media arts, use We the Media: Grass Roots Journalism by the People for the People by Dan Gilmore as a text.
Last year, their class visited Nickelodeon Theatre and USC's radio station, WUSC. Both are good examples of grass roots media organization, Whiteman said.
"We also delve into how mainstream media's primary function isn't entertainment or news but to promote consumption," he said. "We will go to a mall to examine and do an analysis of greenwashing, which is the practice of making unjustified environmental claims for products by a company or industry.
"The structure of the course is democratic and experiential. We assume that all of the members of the class bring their unique media knowledge and experience to this course, and we will draw on that as the course proceeds. We will be inviting guest speakers and taking field trips in search of interesting local examples of "green media."
In addition to a text, the class is using numerous written resources, including Consuming Environments: Television and Commercial Culture, a book by Mike Budd, Steve Craig, and Clay Steinman; Media, Culture, and the Environment, a book by Alison Anderson; and Jamming the Media: A Citizen's Guide, Reclaiming the Tools of Communication, a book by Gareth Branwyn.
Online sites the class uses include DemocracyNow.org and appalshop.org.

Curve aim to celebrate batboy's life
Omaha honors Bob Gibson, while San Jose salutes Te'o
By Benjamin Hill / MLB.com | April 9, 2013 6:00 AM ET
Minor League teams are known for the creativity of their gameday promotions. On Tuesdays this season, we'll preview 10 of the most intriguing for the week ahead. If you'd like a particular promotion to be considered for this feature in the future, please send it to email@example.com with the subject line: "Promo Preview" or send him a Tweet -- hashtag "#promopreview."
On Thursday, the Altoona Curve won't just be celebrating the start of a new season. They'll also be celebrating the life of Bo Forney, one of the most popular individuals to ever don the team's uniform.
"This is going to be a special night, as we're looking forward to honoring the memory of someone who brought a smile to the face of everyone who he came into contact with," said Curve general manager Rob Egan. "We're sure that this is the type of thing that he'd approve of, in that it's based around helping other people."
Indeed, the centerpiece of the evening's festivities is a silent auction featuring many game-used items from March 30's exhibition game between the Curve and their parent Pittsburgh Pirates (including the signed jerseys of 11 Curve players who went on to play for the Pirates). Additional funds will be raised through the sale of patches featuring a cartoon drawing of Bo, and these patches will be affixed to all bat boy uniforms worn through the entirety of the 2013 campaign. Proceeds from all of the Curve's fundraising efforts benefit the American Heart Association, as it was a rare heart defect that ended Bo's life at such a young age.
"Bo-Pening Night" would not be possible without the support of Bo's family, who will be well-represented at the ballpark that evening. His father, Ron, is slated to throw out the ceremonial first pitch, while his sister Shannon has been named "honorary team captain" and will perform duties such as delivering the Curve's lineup card to the umpires. Through it all, there will be much reminiscing on the kind of person that Bo was and just how much he'll be missed.
"I think the biggest reason that Bo was so beloved by our team and staff was because he had such a positive personality. He was that rare sort of person who could see the bright side in everything," said Egan. "Whether you were a top prospect or a fellow batboy, he treated everyone the same. A smile and a 'Hello' from Bo could brighten anyone's mood."
Though Bo-pening Night is the best on offer this week, here are five more promos that are worthy of your attention:
Omaha Storm Chasers (Pacific Coast League) Bob Gibson Statue Unveiling, April 11
The ever-intimidating Bob Gibson towered over opposing batsmen throughout the entirety of his Hall of Fame pitching career, so now it's fitting that his bronzed likeness will tower over Omaha Storm Chasers fans as they make their way to the Werner Park entrance. An eight-foot-tall sculpture of Gibson, an Omaha native and longtime resident of nearby Sarpy County, will be unveiled during a Friday morning ceremony that will be attended by baseball luminaries such as Joe Torre, Bud Selig, Bill White, Tim McCarver and, most importantly, Gibson himself. The statue, financed through private donations, will be the centerpiece of a planned "Walk of Fame" that honors all of the Nebraska natives who went on to achieve Cooperstown immortality.
San Jose Giants (California League) Lennay Kekua Night, April 12
Considering its inspiration, there was some concern that this promotion would turn out to be nothing more than an elaborate hoax with absolutely no basis in reality. But, no, the San Jose Giants really do plan to celebrate Notre Dame football star Manti Te'o and his imaginary girlfriend Lennay Kekua on Saturday night. Kekua turned out to be a "catfish" (a term referring to a false online identity), so the team will serve catfish at the concession stands. This rare ballpark treat can be enjoyed by significant others both real and imaginary, both of whom will be admitted to the ballpark free with the purchase of a regularly-priced ticket.
Reading Fightin Phils (Eastern League) A Ruf Weekend in Baseballtown, April 13 and 14
Darin Ruf hit 38 home runs last season, the most in all of Minor League Baseball and, perhaps more importantly, a new Reading Phillies record. This is impressive in any context, but especially when one considers that this is a franchise that has also fielded the likes of Greg Luzinski, Mike Schmidt and Ryan Howard (who held the previous record of 37). The since-rebranded Fightin Phils aren't about to let this prodigious power feat go unnoticed; in fact, they're "Darin" to stage not one but two Ruf and tumble promos this weekend. On Saturday, the first 2,500 fans age 21 and over receive a "Home Run King" bobblehead, and on Sunday, the kids get in on the action with a 28-inch wooden bat giveaway.
Trenton Thunder (Eastern League) The Sandlot Celebration and Screening, April 13
If you didn't know that the beloved baseball comedy The Sandlot turns 20 this season, well, you're about to! This anniversary milestone is being celebrated with a new Blu-Ray/DVD re-issue of the film, and what better way to promote this elaborate repackaging than with a promotional tour of professional ballparks? It all kicks off in Trenton on Saturday, as The Sandlot will be screened on the Thunder's brand-new videoboard following the conclusion of that evening's 5:05 p.m. ballgame. Writer/director David Mickey Evans will be on hand to introduce his enduring masterwork, and he'll be joined by none other than Tom "Smalls" McGuiry. You're killing me!
Lake Elsinore Storm (California League) Post-game Kansas performance, April 14
Storm owner Gary Jacobs is celebrating his birthday this weekend, and when you're the owner of a Minor League Baseball team, then you may as well invite four or five thousand of your closest friends to the party. That's what the Storm are doing on Sunday, as after that afternoon's ballgame, the esteemed and improbably long-running rock band Kansas will perform a free post-game birthday concert. The 90-minute set will almost certainly include hits such as "Carry On My Wayward Son" and "Dust in the Wind," but discerning fans should yell out for the title track of 1995's underrated "Freaks of Nature" LP.
Into the ellipse…
Because too much is never enough, here's a brief rundown of other notable promotions taking place this week.
- April 10: It's "Music Industry Night" in Nashville, meaning that those who make a living within the city's most storied business receive a special Sounds ticket offer by presenting a "lam, business card, CD, press kit or pay stub."
- April 12: The Bowie Baysox celebrate both dessert and mathematical constants during their annual "Pi(e) Night," while the Charlotte Knights welcome professional wrestler (and pop singer) Mickie James. If either of those endeavors sound too tame, then head to Huntsville for the Stars' "Flirtin' With Disaster" night. "Be prepared for bad weather!" the team ominously notes on their web site.
- April 13: Because April in Wisconsin is no walk in the park, the Timber Rattlers are giving away team-logo ice scrapers.

Police suspect the same pair of armed robbers have held up businesses in Redlands, Mentone and Riverside County, as well as a San Bernardino hotel this morning.
San Bernardino police came to the Quality Inn in the 2000 block of West Ostrems Way at 4 a.m. on a report of a robbery.
Two men entered the lobby, jumped over the counter and robbed the hotel of cash and other property, said San Bernardino police Lt. Richard Lawhead.
Police later received information that two men with a similar descriptions, wearing similar clothing and carrying a chrome handgun also robbed additional locations.
The men are black, in their 20s, 6-feet to 6-feet-2 inches tall and both wore black hooded sweatshirts and black jeans.
