Big Sur Fire
BIG SUR, Calif. (AP) — A bolstered firefighting force made gains Tuesday against an unusual fall wildfire that has destroyed 15 homes and forced about 100 people to flee the forested mountains of the scenic
The fire in
Additional firefighters were brought in, bringing the total force to about 400, she said. The fire was also being fought from the air.
Big Sur, miles of rugged coast, cliffs and wilderness, is a popular tourist destination about 150 miles south of San Francisco with high-end resorts and beautiful views of the Pacific Ocean.
The fire began around midnight Sunday, fueled by dry vegetation and fanned by winds. It was burning a little more than a mile from the Ventana Inn and Spa, a favorite spot among celebrities where former Facebook president and Napster co-founder Sean Parker got married in June.
Among homes destroyed in the fire was that of Big Sur Fire Chief Martha Karstens, who was tearful on Monday night even as she said the loss of her home had not yet set in, according to the Monterey Herald.
"I'm just trying to function as a chief," she said.
Other residents anxiously tried to get information about their homes.
Jim Walters, who was up the coast in Carmel when the blaze started, told the Herald he went to the entrance to his street, local restaurants and the fire command station, but had no luck learning anything about his home.
"I don't know where else to go," he said.
The Red Cross set up an overnight shelter for displaced people, said Los Padres National Forest spokesman Andrew Madsen.
A wildfire so late in the year is unusual in Northern California, where the fire season is generally at its peak over the summer. A lightning-sparked wildfire in the summer of 2008 forced the evacuation of Big Sur and blackened 250 square miles before it was contained. That blaze burned more than a dozen homes.
But like the rest of the state, the Big Sur area has received little rainfall this year, increasing the fire danger.
Still, officials said they were hopeful they could contain the blaze this week.
"We're cautiously optimistic that we're going to pin this thing down within the next couple of days," Madsen said.
The cause of the fire is under investigation.

Palace Theater
224 First Street,
No one has favorited this theater yet
Located on First Street at College Avenue in downtown Kennett. Opened as the Alamo Theatre January 29, 1916 with "The Forbidden Adventure". In October 1916, under new ownership, it was renamed Palace Theatre. In 1927, it was enlarged to seat 800, all on a single floor. It reopened December 22, 1927 with Norma Talmadge in "Camille". It was later renamed Kennett Theatre, and was remodeled and updated in 1975 when Kerasotes Theatres took over operations. It features Dolby sound, assistive listening devices and is handicap enables.
The single screen theatre now had seating for 576. It is a single story building with a V shaped marquee and a vertical spelling out Cinema. Closed in November 2010 with "Harry Potter, Deadly Hollows Part I".
It was reopened as the Palace Theater on May 30, 2014 screening "Maleficent". The seating capacity has now been reduced to 308.

Another former Kerasotes small town theater being closed by AMC, as of November 28, 2010: http://www.dddnews.com/story/1682819.html
A local group is exploring the options for reopening this theater as a not-for-profit, mixed-use facility: http://www.dddnews.com/story/1709189.html. According to the article, the theater was once known as the Palace, which should be among the AKAs for this theater.
Here is a 1928 photo of this house when it was called the Palace, and here's another view from the same year (click the images to embiggen, then see the "All Image Sizes" link to the right of the next page to fetch even bigger versions.)
In this photo of the Palace, there's an ad for the 1929 movie "Hot Stuff" with Alice White. This film was a musical, so the Palace had been wired for sound by then.
Oddly, there is no theater name visible on the building in any of these photos. The name and location are derived from text written on the sheets to which the photos are mounted.
We are working on reopening this theater as the Kennett Palace Theater.
The theater is open & running good.

Around how many miles per gallon will a new (less than 500 miles on the bike) K1600GTL be expected to get at freeway speeds? And does it change much after the bike is well broken in?
And is the display for MPG on the bike accurate?

That said, maybe this will help ball park it: My experience is that it is as good as, but not much better than, my K12LTs and R11/12RTs.

I get between 38 and 42 mpg. I find the gauge and trip computer to be incredibly accurate on my GTL. Based on the first 4 fill ups comparing mpg by hand and bike computer they were all within 1 mpg. I haven't bothered with the manual method since the last check.
My riding is mostly urban or twisties and very little highway and I'm getting about 37 mpg on my K16GT. This bike is a torque monster and it's going to be bad on gas and tires and I'm lovin every minute of it.

+1 on 37mpg. I'd guess if I lose 100lbs I'd be up near 45.
Just put on Michelin pr3's this morning very impressed so far. Fwiw
I weigh about 180 and if I lost 100 lbs I'd be dead. I think if you put it in "rain" mode and pussyfooted around in the clunk zone on the tach, you'd get better gas mileage but the question would be why would you buy a bike like this and ride it like that? The only number on this bike I care about is the one on the odometer and getting enough saddle time to keep it increasing - it's that good. Gas mileage, it never occurred to me to ask about it...
I decided to see what kind of mileage I could get with the GTL. I drove Interstate highway, straight, flat, and boring at 75 mph for the first 200 miles, 37 mpg. Then I came home on the back roads, straight, flat, and boring, at 55 mph, 47 mpg. I think I could have done better if I'd have put it in rain mode. On the two lane back roads I have to go thru quite a few small towns, so much more accelerating than on interstate. I suspect if I drove the interstate at 55 I would get into the 50 mpg range. So if you want to drive it like an idiot you can probably get 50+ mpg. On the other hand if you want to drive like it is meant to be driven you'll probably never see 37!
Hmmmm, I can't seem to get more than 36 on my GTL... but its fun to ride!
Got around 38 looking through the windshield. Started looking over it and started getting just under 45 after lowering it. When raised it goes very verticle and pushes more air.
I use MPG as justification along with other reasons when telling people why I'm riding to work when it's less than a comfortable temp outside or raining, but now I feel like I'm lying. I hope I'm getting 37 but with the tachometer always north of 4K I think its wishful thinking.
FWIW - just ticked over 14k miles and I'm seeing 41-42mpg pretty regularly . . .unless the testosterone is flowing then I see 38-39. My best tank so far (riding Natchez Trace) was 47mpg.
Only down to 280lbs so far . . .if I get down to 220 I figure I'll be seeing 45-46mpg pretty easily. Biggest thing is speed as near as I can tell ..bike loves to run 70mph + . .but sweet spot for mileage appears to be around 63-64mph. (I'd imagine windscreen height, etc will make a huge difference)
Headed out on Friday for 1400 miles on the flatlands and probably won't be pushing too hard so I'll see what I get then.
I would consider that you see an increase/improvement in mpg after about 10,000 miles. 5 or 6K are not really enough to consider it "broken in".
Here is my update:
5,600 miles almost exclusively two-up.
Good mix of interstate freeway and curvy roads (about 40/60)
still original tires
still original water pump

Brevard, N.C. - Fresh off Conference Championships, the Tornados return to a familiar place this weekend as they head to the 2010 Fall Mountain Bike National Championships, held at the Northstar at Tahoe Resort, near Truckee, Calif.
The University of Nevada is hosting the Championships this season, with the Cross Country events taking place on Friday, October 15th, the Short Track and Four Cross events on Saturday, and the Downhill Finals on Sunday.
The Tornados won the overall team title last year in Brevard's fourth year of existence. Jo Tuttle led the way, capturing the coveted women's Omnium title, while strong performances all around contributed to Brevard's first team national championship since BC became a four year institution.
"It's tough going out and trying to defend a national championship," commented Coach Thad Walker. "Right now, we're just trying to get everyone to focus on their individual performances and the team results will come together."
This season, eight Tornados men's riders and three Tornados women's riders will attempt to defend the title against tough competition, as Union (Ky.), Warren Wilson, Colorado School of Mines and Montana State all return tough squad who will all be gunning for Brevard. Union (Ky.) and Warren Wilson are familiar names to the Tornados as Brevard has faced off against the Bulldogs and the Owls multiple times this season in conference competition, with Union capturing the Conference Championship title heading into Nationals.
Tristan Cowie, Matt St. Marie, Scott Hoffner, Kody Adams, Lewis Gaffney, Park Baker, Tripp Bagnal and James Chaput will all compete for the Tornados on the men's side. Cowie, a 2008 national champion in the Cross Country and the Short Track events, has added to his repertoire and will be competing for the Overall Omnium title, competing in all four events over the weekend in his last collegiate mountain bike race. Chaput, a senior on the squad, is also expected to do well this weekend having finished up the fall season strong and will be competing in his first national championship event.
On the women's side, although the Tornados lost Tuttle and Julia Tellman, they return a talented trio to Truckee as Alexis Decosimo, Kate Weisenfluh and Morgan Sykes will take on the field for the Tornados. Decosimo and Sykes have been steadily improving throughout the year in the Short Track, Cross Country and Dual Slalom events, while Weisenfluh comes into nationals as the Southeastern Conference Downhill Champion in her first year of racing at the collegiate level.
Challenges for the Tornados, apart from the competitors will also be the conditions of the course, as Brevard will be facing different terrain and soil on the West Coast, which can affect the strategy and positioning of the gravity riders. The altitude effect will play a part in the Cross Country races as the riders will spend the majority of the race over 5,000 feet above sea level.
The cycling team dealt with injuries early in the season, but with everyone back and healthy, the Tornados are prepared and ready to go defend the title and bring it back to Brevard.

In a first for HonorAir Knoxville in 15 trips, one of the veterans on the all expenses paid journey to Washington D.C. made the outbound flight but failed to make the return plane that afternoon.
On October 9th Korean War veteran Charlie Denyer bumped his leg on the outbound portion of the trip to Washington. While many people in the same situation might just have suffered a bruise, Mr. Denyer saw the wound grow into a painful and serious threat. The 80-year-old former Army man takes blood thinners and his blood started to pool around the wound. At first Mr. Denyer tried to "tough it out" but after several hours on the tour and by the bus stop at the Tomb of the Unknowns, his leg wound had split. Blood started to run into his shoe and the team of paramedics with the group jumped into action.
"He was such a trooper. When someone starts to not respond so well then that's the next level. He hadn't gotten to that point, (but) he had lost a lot of blood," said Matt Owens, who is a veteran Lifestar paramedic and regular escort on the HonorAir Knoxville trips to Washington.
Mr. Owens and the other medical experts on the trip made the call to move Mr. Denyer to the hospital. Together, Mr. Owens and Mr. Denyer headed in an ambulance to the emergency room while the rest of the HonorAir group headed home to Knoxville.
"I mean fear was all over me, but when Matt began to call me I knew that he was in good hands," said Mr. Denyer's wife Linda. She started receiving regular updates about the condition of her husband. And those calls home were the only time the paramedic left his patient.
"I heard a nurse come in and say, (to Mr. Owens) 'we have a lounge around here, better arrangements for you to sleep in.' He said 'no, I'll stay right here,'" said Mr. Denyer recalling how his new "fast friend" slept by his side.
"We spent a lot of quality time together in the ICU (Intensive Care Unit)," recalled Mr. Owens.
By the next morning Mr. Denyer's condition improved enough to head home. HonorAir Knoxville founder Eddie Mannis chartered a plane to ensure Mr. Denyer and Mr. Owens made it back in short order.
Their friendship was formed in a little more than 36 hours, but Mr. Denyer calls Mr. Owens "a brother," and his wife expressed a similar feeling toward their new family friend.
"He'll always be very special to our hearts. He's like a new son," said Mrs. Denyer.

By Rikki King Herald Writer
EVERETT — A former Snohomish County judge violated state judicial conduct codes during his arrest for alleged drunken-driving in August, according to a report released Friday.
Timothy Ryan, who for nearly 20 years was a judge in South District Court, was admonished by the state Commission on Judicial Conduct during a hearing Friday.
That means he was given a written reprimand after findings of wrongdoing and ordered not to repeat the alleged violations.
Ryan, 65, retired at the end of 2012.
He was arrested by Washington State Patrol troopers in August on suspicion of drunken driving.
King County prosecutors later declined to file charges due to conflicting witness statements, including one from Roger Fisher, another district court judge who was with Ryan shortly before his arrest. Fisher was expected to testify that Ryan wasn't impaired by alcohol.
Prosecutors wrote in court papers that they believed Ryan was drunk, but didn't think they could prove that to a jury.
Ryan's behavior during his traffic-stop and arrest was inappropriate, the commission found. The report says Ryan "gratuitously identified himself as a judge" to the investigating troopers in a way that could be interpreted as an attempt to get special treatment.
Ryan acknowledged his behavior "embarrassed (himself) and the judiciary," the commission wrote.
He also exploited his position as a judge, the report says.
Ryan declined to engage in sobriety testing when stopped by the troopers. The lack of evidence played a big role in the prosecutors' decision not to file charges.
Most drunken-driving cases are handled at the district court level. Ryan told the commission he retired because the arrest tarnished his ability to be effective as a judge.
According to state licensing records, Ryan is not allowed to drive unless his vehicle is equipped with an interlock ignition device, which would force him to take a breath test before the car could start.
Drivers must pay for those devices themselves unless they can prove financial duress.
The admonishment records are available online at the commission's website.

"I've never been one to shy away, regardless of the opposition. Any coward can step into the cage and fight someone he knows he will beat, but I'm the type of person who will step in and fight people who, on paper, I shouldn't be able to beat.

What is Justin Bieber afraid that cops will find on his cell phone?
Listen to Justin Bieber on iHeartRadio
(TMZ) - Justin Bieber is worried about what cops are going to find on his cell phone, and TMZ reports his issues involve nakedness and drugs ... not so much eggs.
Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... when they searched Justin's house Tuesday, they seized his cell phone ... took it right out of his hot little hands. Sources say cops are interested in texts that could incriminate him. Cops want to see if he texted someone after the fact and bragged about the egging. One law enforcement source called it a "text high 5."
Sources tell TMZ ... he's concerned more about drug discussions and references. Even if cops find drug references, Justin's in the clear given there's no physical evidence -- nonetheless J.B. is afraid it will leak out.
TMZ reports he's also concerned that there are naked photos in his phone, although it's not clear if they're action shots, selfies, etc.

Trader Joe's to Open in Fort Collins
Trader Joe's is coming to Fort COllins. According to news reports, the grocer plans to open its fifth store in Colorado at The Square, 3500 S. College Ave.
The Square is currently the home of Hobby Town USA, Bible Superstore, and Office Depot, who is currently in the process of closing their location in the Square after a lease renewal agreement with The Square owners could not be reached.
Formal plans with the city have not been filed, but according to the Coloradoan, zoning supervisor Peter Barnes confirmed a contractor had inquired about a how big a Trader Joe's sign along College could be.
Details are still sketchy, but the specialty retail grocer plans to occupy the space leased seasonally by a Halloween store.
Trader Joe's fourth store will open at 1906 28th St., Boulder, next year.

The tonsils are made up of lymphoid tissue and help fight against infections. However, in some people, particularly in children with larger tonsils, these glands can perform less efficiently and cause frequent throat and ear infections or obstruct breathing. In these cases, surgical removal of the tonsils, a tonsillectomy, is beneficial.

Moses and the Israelites are deeply discouraged to remain under Pharoah's control, despite following God's instructions. So God shows them the divine attribute of mercy, a tactic that we can apply today whenever we encounter people whose spirits have been crushed by harsh realities.
This week, Moses and the Israelites are deeply discouraged. Following God's instructions, Moses and Aaron have approached Pharaoh and asked him, in God's name, to "Let My people go!" Not only has Pharaoh refused to let the people go, he has also increased their quota of bricks. The people blame Moses, and Moses complains to God that despite God's guidance, things have gotten worse. God reassures Moses that all will be well, but Moses seems unconvinced.
This is the context in which this week's portion, Va'era, begins, saying, "God spoke to Moses and said to him, 'I am the LORD'" (Exodus 6:2). God identifies God's self to Moses with the unpronounceable four-letter name of God, often known as the Tetragrammaton (Greek for "four letters"). Why would God do this, and why now?
The Midrash explains that God has two, somewhat opposing attributes: Justice, represented by the divine name Elohim, and Mercy, represented by the Tetragrammaton. Sometimes God's attribute of Justice overwhelms God's attribute of Mercy, and the result is often harsh punishment for those who turn away from God's ways. Sometimes, though, God's Mercy overwhelms Justice, and the result is often surprising — a second chance, an unexpected reprieve, a change of heart.
So in our Torah reading, when God identifies God's self by using the Tetragrammaton, God is emphasizing to Moses that this is a moment when the divine attribute of Mercy is in command. But why do Moses and the Israelites need God's Mercy? The answer comes later in the reading, after God has again sent Moses to reassure the Israelites that redemption will come. Once again, Moses's mission is less than successful: "But when Moses told this to the Israelites, they would not listen to Moses, because of shortness of spirit from their cruel bondage" (Exodus 6:9).
Here we see that the problem that the Israelites face is not simply one of discouragement or suffering from hard labor. The Israelites' spirits are being crushed. Just as a heavy weight on the chest can prevent the lungs from expanding to fill the body with air, so, too, can constant oppression put so much pressure on the spirit that it cannot expand to fill the body with life.
The Israelites' spirits are shortened, constricted, unable to hold hope or optimism or the possibility of change. They turn on Moses, they turn away from God, and they become blind and deaf to inspiration, not because they are evil, but because they have been pushed beyond the breaking point.
At this moment, God knows that the Israelites do not need to be judged; instead, they need compassion and mercy. So God signals to Moses: "I am the LORD, the Merciful One who surrounds those who cannot find their way, who loves those who are oppressed, and who inspires the hopeless to expand their spirits." Only when God brings the Israelites the divine attribute of Mercy can they find a way forward together.
In our lives, we encounter many such people who are hopeless, whose spirits have been crushed by the harsh realities that they have lived. Can we reach out to those whose spirits are constricted? Can we help them, through our loving presence, to take a breath, to expand their spirits once again, and to know hope? If we can, then maybe we, too, can find a way forward together.

The Utah Pride Center is expected to move during the week of April 15 out of its present building, which has been its home since 1998, to a soon-to-be-renovated location a few blocks away.
Last March, Pride officials bought a two-story building at 255 E. 400 South, one of Salt Lake City's busiest downtown streets, but the renovations have not progressed as fast as planned. To save money, the center will move from 300 W. 361 North to the new location while officials continue to pursue donations.
"Essentially we have all the construction documents," said Valerie Larabee, Pride's executive director. "It will probably take another year or more of fundraising before we start to put in a shovel (toward fully renovating the new building)."
Pride officials hope to raise $2.5 million to renovate the 6,000-square-foot building. They are organizing a team of business leaders and philanthropists for their "Getting Centered" capital campaign.
Starting April 20, Utah Pride's administrative offices will be in place at the new location. The Youth Activity Center and Trans Program will remain at the current location until after the 2013 Utah Pride Festival, May 30-June 2.

Four-day workshop for teachers, trainers, facilitators, and managers
Dialogue Education™ (DE) is a learner-centered system of teaching and curriculum design that is uniquely purposeful, engaging, and collaborative. Unlike traditional methods that push information onto passive learners, DE brings the learner into active relationship with both the content and the learning process. As a result, DE has the power to utterly transform the way you teach, and to also transform the way your learners absorb and retain content.
In this dynamic four-day workshop, you'll directly experience the core concepts and practices of Dialogue Education. By the time you leave, you'll have helpful tools and skills that will completely re-engage your passion and purpose for teaching, training, or facilitating.
As an added bonus, Learning to Listen, Learning to Teach is the first step toward becoming a Certified Dialogue Education Practitioner, should you wish to continue your professional development in DE.
Dialogue Education
Based on the insights and pedagogy of Dr. Jane Vella [link to About: Our Team: Jane Vella], Dialogue Education focuses on how adults learn best: by becoming active participants in their own learning experience. DE is highly collaborative, and recognizes the rich resource of knowledge each adult learner brings in to the session so that this becomes part of the fabric of learning. The methods are proven and the results are measurable and profound.
Who can benefit from DE?
Dialogue Education has been successfully used worldwide by thousands of individuals and organizations, including those in the non-profit, NGO, corporate, academic, religious, and government sectors. Check out our clients

Research Areas
Autoimmune diseases can be broadly divided into two types depending on the principal clinical and pathological disease features: those that damage many organs (systemic), and those where only a single organ or tissue is directly damaged by the autoimmune process (localized). Systemic autoimmune diseases are often characterized by autoantibodies reactive with a wide variety of autoantigens including DNA, cell surface molecules, and intracellular matrix proteins. Although the causes of systemic autoimmunity remain unclear, several immunological mechanisms have been implicated, along with genetic and environmental factors. This portfolio focuses primarily on basic and translational studies of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), systemic scleroderma (SSc), and autoimmune myositis. Areas of focus include: animal models of disease; animal-model-based genetic studies to discover and evaluate candidate susceptibility genes; involvement of the innate immune system on the initiation and propagation of autoimmune disease; B and T cell development, differentiation, homeostasis, and tolerance; role of regulatory lymphoid cells; molecular mechanisms that incite or dampen inflammation; interactions between antigen presenting cells, such as dendritic cells and T cells; cross-talk between immune cells and fibroblasts; molecular events involved in the exaggerated production of collagen and in microvascular abnormalities seen in SSc; Fcgamma receptors, and immune complexes on disease etiology and pathology; studies of apoptosis and clearance of apoptotic bodies; mechanisms of end-organ damage, including the pathophysiology of disease-associated autoantibodies; and basic research on treatments.

When people tell me to just turn my brain off and enjoy a movie, I wish that it were so easy. I've been trained to overthink films as I watch them. I have two degrees in the study of cinema. I can't ignore what I know or how I've been wired to always analyze images I'm seeing on screen as they're cut together any more than a mechanic can stare at a puttering motor and pretend not to know how to fix it.

Two days after wrapping on the $65 million dollar budget film Pete's Dragon, David Lowery headed home to Texas to make a small film (literally, the aspect ratio is 1.37:1) with a group of friends called A Ghost Story. The budget? $100,000. In itself, the budget is a good marker of how different the films are. And yet in both films, Lowery uses visual effects in a very calculated and affecting way, two qualities that are often lacking in effects-heavy films nowadays. Indeed, many an article has been written about the CGI overkill in Hollywood franchises. In his article for Variety on The Age of Ultron, Brian Lowry argues that "the ability to mount enormous battles featuring multiple super-powered characters, however, has become its own trap. And while the results can be visually astounding, the movies regularly feel as lifeless and mechanized as the technology responsible for bringing those visions to fruition."

Frequently voted one of the best films of the 1980s, Martin Scorsese's Raging Bull, the story of self-destructive pugilist Jake La Motta, was a labor of love and genius. This is particularly true on the part of the film's editor, Thelma Schoonmaker, ACE, who played the KEM editing machine like a harpsichord. A long-time Scorsese collaborator, she would win her first Academy Award for the epic.

Luke 9
57 And it came to pass, that, as they went in the way, a certain man said unto him, "Lord, I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest."
58 And Jesus said unto him, "Foxes have holes, and birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head."
59 And he said unto another, "Follow me." But he said, "Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father".
60 And Jesus said unto him, "Let the dead bury their dead: but go thou and preach the kingdom of God."
61 And another also said, "Lord, I will follow thee; but let me first go bid them farewell, which are at my house."
62 And Jesus said unto him, "No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God."
Once a man owned a very big pond. A small lily plant was growing in it. The man was very happy; he had always loved white flowers of lilies. But then he became concerned because the plant was doubling itself every day: sooner or later it would cover the whole pond. He had trout in the pond and he loved to eat those trout. Once the pond was covered by the lilies all the life from the pond would disappear, including the trout.
He didn't want to cut the plants, he didn't want his trout to disappear - he was in a dilemma. He went to an expert. The expert calculated and said, "Don't be worried. It will take one thousand days for the lily to cover the whole pond. The plant is very small and the pond is very big, so there is no need to worry." Then the expert suggested a solution which appeared almost absolutely right. He said, "Wait, and when half the pond is covered with lilies, then cut the plant. Always keep it only half-covered so that you will enjoy the white flowers and your trout will not be in danger. Fifty-fifty - half the pond for the lilies, half for the trout."
The solution looked perfectly right, and one thousand days - there was enough time, so there was no need to worry. The man relaxed. He said, "When the pond is half-covered, then I will cut the lilies."
The pond was half-covered - but it was half-covered on the nine hundred ninety-ninth day. Ordinarily you would think that it would be half-covered after five hundred days - no. The plant used to double itself, so half the pond would be covered on the nine hundred ninety-ninth day and only one day would be left. But that would not be sufficient time to cut the plant or to keep it to the half.

Did you find out the sex of your baby?
Did you find out if your baby was a boy or a girl?
With my first baby, I kept it a surprise (although I was convinced the baby was a boy, which he was!) and with my second baby I just really wanted to know. This wasn't from a practical point of view and I didn't mind if I had a girl or a boy but I wanted to imagine my child and my children playing together.
What about you?

Right now there's a woman working at an Arby's somewhere in Columbus, Ohio who has no idea there's a super cool t-shirt line named in her honor. You'll have to read the interview below to get all the deets, but whatever their origins, Choonimals t's are…well…I want to call them cute, but not sure how that will go over with Choonimals founder and artist Chris Theibert.
Here's Chris in two of his designs.
Here's Chris answering all kinds of prying questions aobout Choonimals and his work:
How did you get started as an artist?
I got started as a clothing company designer very randomly. My friends and I used to make badly drawn animals in class all day back in high school just to make each other laugh. We named them Choonimals after a woman named Choon that worked at our local Arby's. She has no idea we did that. A few years later we picked up drawing these "Choons" again in college where somehow it morphed from us drawing these weird animals on paper, to us using Sharpie markers to draw them all over. Everyone loved it, people would request the strangest animals and I would draw them in the most haggard way possible all over, wherever. It was like a hilarious temporary tattoo that came with the promise of washing off (after a few showers) in the morning. Somewhere along the way, the idea clicked… let's put these Choonimals on t-shirts! And here we are…
Tell us a little about your work. Are there lots of artists who do what you do? What makes your work stand out from the rest?
Obviously there are plenty of people making t-shirts out there, but I think ours stand out because they really are original… every scraggly line is drawn by my own hand, with a Sharpie marker onto a piece of paper and eventually end up on our shirts. It's nice that our subjects are animals too, because everyone loves animals and that gives you an endless supply of possibilities for new designs. I drew a Red River Hog the other day. Our shirts hail from Columbus, Ohio, so we get a lot of them on random people around town. We also have a huge market out on the East Coast thanks to a festival we attend every year. Our Choons have been spotted from London to L.A. and even in Southern Africa (because I went to Africa and gave them to people).
How would you describe your style?
Original and simple with great appealability (I just made that word up). What I mean is that we've seen our clothes appeal to a wide demographic. The elderly, children, moms and dads, babies, dogs, hipsters and punks and swooning teenage girls. I think because the style of shirts (or just Choonimals in general) is so simple, intriguing and mostly unisex, they can appeal to just about everyone and everything.
How did you come to use Sharpie markers in your work?
When I think of markers I think of Sharpies. So when the idea arose to draw a Choon on someone's arm, I reached for a Sharpie off my desk and started to draw. Now at all of our shows, we have a bin of all different colors and kinds of Sharpies and promote the fact that we offer free Choonimal Sharpie tattoos. It's one of the first things people ask for when they come to our booth. They even inspired 10 of us to get real tattoos on our skin. We wanted a permanent Sharpie tattoo to honor the tradition I suppose.
What about Sharpie markers makes them your medium of choice? Is it the variety of tip sizes, colors, other? Please describe how you use Sharpie as an art tool.
For us, we need a type of ink that will stand out. We use Sharpie because of the boldness of the ink and the variety of colors. They stand out, draw easily and stay on.
Tell us about some of your own favorite work. What seems to get the most attention or is most coveted by others? Why do you think people are drawn to your work?
Our sevenandahalf'tapus which is a seven-and-a-half legged octopus gets a lot of attention, as does the extremely long and crooked necked giraffe (we call it a 'Grauff'). My favorite Choonimal right now though is a Raccoon or 'Racchoon' that I drew while at work one day. My co-worker asked me to draw him one, so I did and it came out looking extremely mischievous and rabid. It's on one of our hooded sweatshirts now. I think people like that they can shout out an animals name and have their very own personal Choonimal. It connects us with our fans and makes them feel special, which they all are to us.
Can you describe the process you go through to create your work? How many hours does it take? Is it a free-hand approach or do you create a template in advance?
I literally grab a Sharpie marker and a few pieces of computer paper and just draw. Each Choon takes me less than a minuet to do. It's mostly one-line with some added strokes here and there. Then I scan it into my computer and start the process of using it to design new clothes.
Jabberwockies, gremlins and beanie babies. Really though, my inspirations are other people, they shout out different animals for me to draw at shows and in emails and then I take it from there. Sometimes I'll see a really strange looking animal in a magazine or on TV and have a nasty compulsion to grab a Sharpie marker and go to town on a portrait of the creature.
What statement are you trying to make, if any? What do you want people take from your art?
I want people to smile. I want them to see our clothes, tilt their heads in confusion and then crack an intrigued smirk. I want people to have fun when they come to our booth and feel like they can treat us like one of their best friends. That way, they're not just walking away with a t-shirt we slung; they're walking away with some interesting new friends and a place to come back to for more.
Sharpie's tagline is "Write Out Loud!" Does this apply to your work and if so, how?
Absolutely. You know when people wear like the most neon blonde outfit ever and you almost want to cover your ears it's so loud? That's what Sharpie does for us. I'll draw a monstrous octopus Choonimal for a girl and when she walks away, her vibe is suddenly at decibel 150. Thanks Sharpie!
Which Sharpie markers do you use to create your work:
The original Fine Tipped Sharpie markers… all colors of the rainbow. And sometimes we get crazy and use the Jumbo Tipped ones.
Go to Choonimals.com and get yours.

And absolutely no artificial fragrances or preservatives. Period. They're Better For The EarthBecause Nourish's ingredients support organic agriculture and are sourced from organic farmers, you can rest assured that no pesticides or herbicides are being used, and that sound land stewardship is always taking place. And They're Only The BeginningNourish's commitment to the planet starts with their use of 100% organic ingredients, and continues throughout every facet of their business. All of their packaging is made with at least 25% post-consumer recycled content. All of their products are cruelty free and never tested on animals. Nearly all of their products are vegan (excluding those that contain beeswax), and their manufacturing facility uses as much renewable energy as possible, even going so far as to store all of their products in a local underground warehouse that uses the earth's natural ambient temperature and humidity to preserve and protect. Nourish's Promises Are Big, But Their Footprint Is SmallThey firmly believe that the earth, which takes such good care of us, deserves to be treated well in return. They pride themselves in being good stewards of the environment and in doing everything they can—both as a company and as individuals—to support this beautiful planet on which they are privileged to live. Nourish Recylces They buy recycled content and recyclable packaging materials. In fact, all of their packaging is made with at least 25% post-consumer recycled content. They recycle all of their cardboard. They reuse and repurpose all materials when and where appropriate. All packaging, surplus pallets and drums that are not reused by their company are recycled to other companies. Nourish Saves Energy They utilize an underground warehouse and distribution center (adapted from an old mine) to store products and office equipment. Because a constant ambient temperature is maintained, no heating or cooling energies are necessary. They provide continuous employee training on how to conserve energy. Nearly 70% of their employees carpool, walk, bicycle, or take public transportation to work. Their main plant has the highest rating of insulation value. They continuously investigate the use of new and more energy-efficient lighting, implementing change whenever beneficial.\ They use local suppliers whenever possible in order to conserve gas and oil. They are currently exploring alternative energy sources, including solar, geothermal, and wind for their main plant. Nourish Respects The Earth They use only cleaning and sanitizing materials/methods, as well as pest control materials/methods that meet the USDA National Organic Program requirements, and that are chemical free. They use no pesticides in their landscaping or grassy areas. The Nourish Organic Story Pioneering BeginningsWhen they founded Nourish more than a decade ago, the words "organic" and "beauty" were never found together. They were concerned by numerous studies and research that shed light on the hazardous chemicals in existing beauty products, and by the lack of regulations in the personal care industry. Believing that what you put on your body is every bit as important as what you put in it, they became "organic beauty pioneers," determined to create the very first line of chemical-free, environmentally friendly skincare products. They were the first beauty company to ever work with the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) to create a collection of products so pure they could be certified organic under the same strict standards the government uses to certify food. And in 2003, they launched Nourish—the world's first USDA-certified organic skincare collection. Then, in 2012, they re-introduced the Nourish brand with an even more exciting line up of fabulous USDA certified organic products that you are sure to enjoy. Good For You, Good For The EarthToday, from their headquarters in the rolling hills of Beaver Falls, Pennsylvania, they create and produce healthy, concern-free, eco-friendly skin care products that really work (and that are as pure and clean as the organic fruits and vegetables you find at your local market). In addition to being completely natural and organic, their products are also cruelty-free, gluten-free, and mostly vegan. They display all of the following badges with pride on all of their packaging, so you can be sure that no product you buy is kinder to your skin, and to the earth and the animals with which they share it. Certifications Did you know that the USDA (United States Department of Agriculture) organic seal and certification is THE gold standard in organic skincare? This is the only seal that ensures that skincare products are 95-100% organic, up to the standard of food rulings. That means their USDA-certified Nourish products are as pure and clean as the organic fruit you buy in your local supermarket. The USDA does not differentiate between food or beauty products when inspecting products, so any product bearing its seal (whether food or skincare) must be made of 95-100% ingredients that were organically farmed with no pesticides or herbicides. The remaining 5% of contents are drawn from a small, select number of gentle ingredients (such as purified water) that are not organically grown, but which pose no risk to your health or the environment. The reason it is so important to look for the USDA seal on your beauty products is because the beauty industry is not regulated by the government or FDA. That means that companies can write "organic" or "natural" on their beauty or skincare products, even if only 5% of the ingredients are really natural or organic and the rest contain potentially harmful chemicals like parabens, phthalates, petrochemicals or EDTA. Without the USDA seal on your beauty product, no government agency is ensuring its safety and purity. Recently, some beauty companies took a step forward and began using a seal on their products called NSF. The NSF seal, while a step in the direction, only ensures that skincare products are 70% organic, while the remaining 30% can still contain synthetic ingredients like waxes. They applaud companies that have moved in this direction, but Nourish maintains their commitment to 95-100% organic beauty products which require the USDA inspection, certification and seal. You can always rest assured that any Nourish product you buy will be the purest, cleanest and gentlest product available in the market, as they were the 1st beauty company in the world to receive 100% USDA-organic certification from the government, and they will only produce USDA-organic products in the future. An internationally recognized symbol of organic integrity, Oregon Tilth Certified Organic (OTCO) provides a system that combines strict production standards, on-site inspections, and legally binding contracts to protect the producers and buyers of organic products. The Coalition for Consumer Information on Cosmetics' (CCIC) Leaping Bunny Program administers a cruelty-free standard and the internationally recognized Leaping Bunny Logo for companies producing cosmetic, personal care, and household products. The Leaping Bunny program provides the best assurance that no new animal testing is used in any phase of product development by the company, its laboratories, or suppliers. All of their packaging is made with at least 25% post-consumer recycled content, and everything is recyclable. On a day-to-day basis, they make a conscious effort to recycle, re-use, and re-think the use of resources needed to produce the Nourish products. The "gluten-free" logo proves a company's commitment to a quality, gluten-free product for celiac-and gluten-sensitive individuals. The "vegan" logo identifies products that do not contain animal products or byproducts and that have not been tested on animals Giving BackAs citizens of the world, they believe it's important to give back when and where they can, especially to their community and to what they believe to be some of the world's most important causes. They work closely with and contribute to a number of organizations and charities including The Women's Center, Association for the Blind, City Rescue Mission, Meals on Wheels, and the Salvation Army. They support local sports teams, schools, and Big Brothers/Big Sisters, and regularly donate their surplus materials and products to World Vision. They're particularly proud of their donations to overseas U.S. military personnel, and of their efforts to provide aid to the victims of the 2010 earthquake in Haiti.

Business Administration; Marketing and Finance minorsClass of
Braving Banks for Good - With a broad smile and penetrating voice, Sam Kimbriel recalls his confrontation with a banker in 2009. While consulting for a printing company that was ready to close its doors, he learned of a fulfillment and call center company they owned that was also being forced to shut down. It was the height of the recession. He saw a room of people about to lose their jobs, so he called the bank.
"This company shouldn't be going out of business," he said. "You have about 200 people here who are ready to walk out into 12% unemployment. It's just not fair. I'll come in and cure the debt and buy it."
"We're just done with the whole organization," came the voice at the other end of the line. "We don't want any more hassle."
Undeterred, Sam upped his ante: "Have the bank president give me a call," he said. "If the answer's no, I'm going to put him on speaker phone with the other 200 people here, and a few of my friends in the media, who are going to want to know why Colorado is losing 200 more jobs."
Ten minutes later, he had essentially bought a company, and now is the president and CEO of FulCircle, Inc., a marketing firm that helps companies build their businesses through outsourced customer service, fulfillment, and internet marketing.
"It was a God thing," he asserts—especially considering that after hearing back from the bank, he had to call his wife. Her enthusiasm matches the sacrifice and commitment Sam exhibits to live as a Christian businessman.
Originally a music major in college, Sam went into business after asking God for direction, and spending 48 hours literally on his knees. He transferred to Rockmont College—now Colorado Christian University—and majored in business, with a music minor. "It was a small enough college environment to offer a real mentoring experience," he recalls. He also assisted with his father's printing company. "It gave me an ability to talk to these professors who were also businesspeople, and they just walked me through the challenges of the day-to-day business."
They were lessons he needed to learn quickly: when Sam was 28, he assumed control of the family business. His father developed a lung disease, and his mother was diagnosed with a brain tumor. It was unfamiliar ground, and put added stress on his marriage and home life. Still, he managed to grow LK Media into one of the largest print and marketing companies in the Rocky Mountain region before selling it to Henry Wurst in 1999. Through it all, he kept his focus the same: to serve God through business.
Another opportunity to do exactly that stemmed from his volunteer work with Denver Street School and Christ Body Ministries, a school for disadvantaged teens and a homeless ministry. He realized that many of the graduates and homeless had little chance at employment. "Work is a vital component of the human soul," Sam says, "You see guys who get tied into alcohol and addictions and just hopelessness, and having meaningful work can become a big part of turning their lives around." So, with Sam's love of real estate—he had been investing since the 1980s—and his desire to help, he started Easy Street Properties. It connected graduates and the homeless with skilled craftsmen, providing them with significant work. "It was fun to see several of the guys who started working for us then start their own little painting or electrician businesses," he recalls. "They put their lives back together."
Sam still spends time at CCU, serving on the board and meeting regularly to discuss ideas. He acknowledges his need to be around other godly businesspersons—men and women who can give advice, whether spiritual or practical. It's one way Sam stays sharp, so he can find guidance and meaning in his work—and know when to fight for those who need it.

Bill de Blasio, a Democrat who likes to call people "brother", has been elected mayor of New York City. The victory of the self-styled populist, whose campaign spoke of "a tale of two cities", marks the beginning of the end of Michael Bloomberg's tenure. But if Mr de Blasio means what he says, he also wants his triumph to mark the beginning of the end of an idea: that of the city as a luxury product. Read more

The GPSA is continuing this semester with a research brown bag series. Each event features two graduate and/or professional students from designated colleges that will share their research. Time will be given after each presentation for Q & A. Highlighted this semester are students from the Law School and the College of Urban Affairs.
Marisa Rodriguez-Shapoval and Morgan Petrelli are third year law students and student attorneys in the Thomas and Mack Legal Clinic. After graduation Marisa will clerk for the Honorable Susan Scann of the Eighth Judicial District Court. Marisa is interested in commercial litigation, immigration law, and public interest work. After graduation Morgan will work as an associate at the law firm of Snell & Wilmer in Las Vegas.
Abstract: Morgan and Marisa spent three weeks in New Delhi, India in December 2012-January 2013 investigating and documenting serious labor and human rights violations among migrant workers in the construction industry. They interviewed workers living in extreme poverty, drafted a human rights report that will be used as a platform for future advocacy, and filed formal complaints with the Department of Labor, the National Commission on Women's Rights, and the National Commission for the Protection of Child Rights. Their work reflects a unique collaboration among U.S. and Indian law students in tackling some of the most challenging and dehumanizing aspects of globalization.
Carol Servino is a doctoral candidate in the Public Affairs Ph.D. program in the Greenspun College of Urban Affairs at UNLV. Carol's dissertation defense date is set for April 8 and she will be pursuing an academia position. Currently, Carol is a graduate research assistant for Jessica Word, Ph.D., the primary investigator, on a nonprofit economic impact project report for the Lincy Institute and Brookings Mountain West.
Abstract: Motor vehicle crashes caused the majority of fatalities to police officers in the U. S. for more than a decade, yet little is known about factors contributing to injury crashes. This research study required original data collection. A national survey of police chiefs in state, county, and local agencies of all sizes was conducted online in June and July, 2012. Questions focused on various driving policies and practices, including those related to communication technology commonly used in police patrol vehicles. Other questions included hypothetical situations to explore the culture of driving safety in individual police organizations. The majority of chiefs clearly responded that speed is the top factor in crashes, and many believe there are other contributing factors, notably inexperience and distractions. Binary logistic regression results show agency size and policies permitting cell phone use as statistically significant predictors of injury crashes involving officers. Organizational cultures were compared with t tests.

Crystal Harris's Dream Job
Ever wonder who tests the design of a new airplane? At Boeing, it's Crystal and a team of engineers and technicians. As a flight test analysis engineer, she tests engines, noise levels, landing gear, and other systems to make sure planes are safe and comfortable.
Putting out fires and other interesting job experiences
Testing an airplane is quite an adventure—and certainly not a desk job! As Crystal explains, her team evaluates a plane's smoke detection system by "igniting a contained fire and filling the test compartment with smoke, and then waiting to see how long it takes for the detection to occur."
She and the team also "heat soak" the plane to make sure the electrical system can withstand high temperatures. Another test they perform is racing the airplanes at high speeds on runways to check the tires and brakes.
Testing a record-breaking plane
The first plane Crystal ever tested broke the world record for the longest non-stop flight by a passenger airliner. The Boeing 777 flew non-stop for almost 23 hours, taking off in Hong Kong and landing in London—more than half way around the world!
Where she works
The Boeing Company; Seattle, Washington
B.S. in aerospace science engineering, Tuskegee University, Macon County, Alabama.
A Tuskegee pilot
Tuskegee University is famous for being the home of the Tuskegee Airman, a group of African-American pilots who were World War II heroes. Crystal received her private pilot's license while attending Tuskegee, and learned to fly in the same plane flown by the legendary C. Alfred "Chief" Anderson, one of the original flight instructors for the Tuskegee Airmen!
Why she loves her job
"I decided to become an engineer because of my love for airplanes. I figured, since I fly them, I'd better know how they work." Having a job that ensures the comfort and safety of airline passengers means a lot to Crystal. "The most important and rewarding part of life is giving back to others."
Flying, volunteering in the community, and shoe shopping with her sisters.

wtf!? Whys this guy still walking about? I would have thought he would have been scalped and skinned by now.
Tap Forged
Ari has also managed to make all Carlson guys hate him, lol. Simon's post sums it up, some people want to be teaching everyone before they have learnt much themselves.
http://www.ChrisReesAcademy.com - http://thetattooedchimp.blogspot.co.uk/
-About the mystery purple belt. What makes it strange is that he really emphasized that he was aurple under Ari Galo. Flexa and Ari Galo were teammates for a long time in Rio. So why lie?
What really pissed me off, what that the kid blamed our training on his own piss poor performance... Seeing the kid wear a white belt at the tournament was pretty hilarious...
-Regarding Ari Bolden.
You'll always have delusional people. But whenever I have beginners trying to copy those insane moves it's such a waste of time, and it makes me feel like a grumpy old man...
That being said. Bolden is indeed a cunt.
I was wrong. The kid actually did win some matches - in the white belt division.
Well, he fucking should have, claiming to be a purple belt and all...
lol he's not even a blue judging from that vid
man, when you're the nail, hang in there....until the day you become the hammer
Surely anyone claiming to be above white belt would be tested the day they got there?
I couldn't imagine walking into a gym claiming to be a black belt, then getting smashed by bluebelts and my instructor still lets me wear my blackbelt let alone give me job as an instructor, just dosen't seem possible
Weird... he has obviously trained a bit so must have known how dangerous lying about being a purple belt could be?
http://www.ChrisReesAcademy.com - http://thetattooedchimp.blogspot.co.uk/
So glad people are wise to Ari Bolden's bullshit. Hated that guy from day one.

Nicki Minaj Pops Into "106 & Park"
Stopping by to promote her new album, Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded, Nicki Minaj was on the set of BET's "106 & Park" in New York City on Monday (November 19).
The "Starships" rapper looked colorful in a blue and peach floral-print cap; denim bra with hearts, cupcakes, and sweet treats on the bust; her signature pink wig, and red pants as she chatted with host Bow Wow.
Recently, the new "American Idol" judge spoke to host Ryan Seacrest on his morning show about her judging style.
The 29-year-old star admitted, "I'm scared. Maybe I shouldn't have been so like ... It's hard for me to not say how I really feel." Later, she explained, "Everyone else is so nice. I was just thinking back about some things and I was like, 'I wonder if that was not so nice.'"
However, her sometimes harsh words come from a good place. Nicki adds, "As an artist I've always grown more from the tougher criticism and so I would like to be that person and to try to help people get that thick skin and to really give it their all, because it is a competition."

WATCH: Britney Spears given spectacular Las Vegas welcome
Listen to Britney Spears on iHeartRadio
Britney Spears was welcomed to Las Vegas in spectacular fashion on Wednesday, in advance of herupcoming residency at Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino.
The pop star was greeted by scantily-clad dancers, fire-breathers, contortionists and snake-holders, in addition to the thousands of fans wearing Spears-inspired costumes and holding signs.
Spears' music provided the soundtrack, naturally, and she received a bouquet of roses from David Hoenemeyer, Planet Hollywood's president.
"I'm so happy to be here right now. This is my city," the singer told the crowd. "I can't wait to see you guys opening night."
Spears' two-year residency, "Britney: Piece of Me," begins on December 27.

Pete Rose says he 'picked the wrong vice,' alcohol or drugs would have gotten him another chance
Between the recent Hall of Fame inductions, thebanned-for-life threats aimed at Alex Rodriguezand last week's Biogenesis suspensions, we've heard Pete Rose's name a lot recently.
These are all instances that will cause Rose's fans to prop him up as a victim, to make the case that baseball's all-time hit king is getting a bum rap and deserves a spot in the Hall of Fame.
The logic goes like this: If a guy who uses PEDs gets caught and only gets a 50-game suspension (not even a third of a season), then should Rosebe banned for life for gambling?
Well, Rose himself put that thinking in even stronger terms in a new interview with radio station 93.7 The Fan in Pittsburgh. In short: He says if he were a drinker, drug-user or wife-beater, he'd get a second chance.
"I made mistakes. I can't whine about it. I'm the one that messed up and I'm paying the consequences. However, if I am given a second chance, I won't need a third chance. And to be honest with you, I picked the wrong vice. I should have picked alcohol. I should have picked drugs or I should have picked up beating up my wife or girlfriend because if you do those three, you get a second chance. They haven't given too many gamblers a second chances in the world of baseball."
It's not a new thought — there are many baseball pundits out there would tell you that DUIs among ballplayers are a more dire issue than PEDs. But Rose saying such a thing so boldly makes him sound like a guy whose found a slightly cracked window to try to push himself through. Later in the interview, Rose said he'd be the "happiest guy in the world" to get into the Hall of Fame, but that isn't what he's praying for before bed each night.
Another interesting topic raised was Rose's friendship with A-Rod, public enemy No. 1 in the Biogenesis case with that looming 211-game suspension. Though Rose said he and A-Rod are pals, Rose also said he'd advise other players not to do like A-Rod did (or like he himself did) — don't lie.
"The last time I texted Alex is when (Yankees GM) Brian Cashman told him to keep his bleeping mouth shut and play baseball. I met Alex more than a year ago. He was wrong, there's no question about it. He talks about old timers in baseball. He talks about Clemente and Aaron. He loves this history of the game. I think he'd be the first one to tell you he screwed up. And if he doesn't, he's not telling you the truth. My advice to anybody listening is don't do like I did, don't do like Alex did or do what Braun did. Don't do like any of those guys did. Don't lie if you are confronted about something that you made a mistake. The faster you come clean the better of you are going to be."
The image of Rose and A-Rod as pals is an interesting one, don't you think? Baseball's black sheep of one generation befriending the black sheep of a new generation. Heck, A-Rod and his Biogenesis buds might actually be making Rose look better by contrast — at least in the court of public opinion.
That might not be enough to get Rose back into baseball, but it will give fans enough reason to keep sticking up for him.

Owners: Watson, Pegram, and Weitman
Trainer: Bob Baffert
