Weekend Reading: Chaykin, Kubert, Harrison and Harlan
Posted by Tom Mason Categories: Editorials, Site Features, DC Comics, Marvel Comics,
You know how you can tell that Summer's over? There aren't any more big budget super-hero movies coming out. Fortunately, there's all kinds of stuff on the internets to keep us occupied.
Beau Smith writes about the late Joe Kubert.
Tom Spurgeon writes about Harry Harrison.
I would've watched the heck out of any Daredevil movie that was done like this trailer:
Comic Strip of the Day talks about Richard Thompson and his decision to retire from Cul de Sac because of illness.

The Avengers: I Finally Catch Up
Posted by Tom Mason Categories: Editorials, Movies, Reviews, Marvel Comics,
Yeah, my bad. I finally got around to seeing The Avengers on the big screen with my old pal Dave Olbrich (he was seeing it for the third time).
I'll echo what is probably the view of 99% of the super-hero movie audience: (1) I loved it and (2) where was this movie when I was 13?
Afterwards, I had a few thoughts.
I was surprised by the sudden death of what I thought was a fairly major character in the continuity. I know Joss Whedon always likes to kill off someone in his movies – I'm sure the first draft of Toy Story had a sacrifice from Mr. Potato Head – so I should've been better prepared. But I wasn't. Sad to lose the character and sadder that the actor has lost a pretty good gig.
Tom Hiddleston was riveting as Loki, an excellent performance capturing the character's grandiose plans and his petty humanness. Here's hoping he gets as good a role in subsequent years and doesn't end up playing a Russian mobster on Person of Interest, or the put-upon dad in some lame sitcom.
This is my favorite Scarlett Johansson movie. And yes, I've seen more than one. Including that one. And that one too.

Weekend Reading: Batman, Doonesbury, Killraven and Kickstarter
Posted by Tom Mason Categories: Editorials, Movies, Reviews, DC Comics, Marvel Comics,
So the Olympics are finally over, and that means it's time to talk about real heroes, right? Y'know, the ones in capes!
For most of us, we have the belief that Bill Finger is the true creator of everything that made Batman great. Here's why.
Jake Hinkson looks at The Dark Knight Rises and the other two parts of Christopher Nolan's trilogy: "Unlike the set-bound comic-gothic theatrics of Tim Burton's Batman films or the plastic sex-toy quality of Joel Schumacher's films, Batman Begins is a full on epic."

Bullet In The Face: Alan Spencer & Alex Maleev
Posted by Tom Mason Categories: Editorials, Television, Marvel Comics,
One of the shows that I'm really looking forward to is Alan Spencer's Bullet In The Face. It debuts on IFC on August 16.
And why am I looking forward to it? Just one reason, really: it's Alan Spencer. He created the great Sledge Hammer! sitcom and based solely on that, he gets a free pass from me for life - I'll check out anything he's involved in. Plus, this stars Eddie Izzard and Eric Roberts.
To promote his new show, Alan took to Facebook and posted the following: "Here's something I'm proud to share. IFC's publicity team made a classy move by commissioning Alex Maleev to create this artwork for Bullet In The Face. The artist cited Robert McGinnis' posters for James Bond as an inspiration, making this doubly meaningful… or shall I say 007 meaningful."
Maleev, of course, is perhaps best known for his work on Daredevil with Brian Bendis. Looking at his poster for BITF, all I can think is that he should do more.

Roger Slifer Could Use A Hand
Posted by Tom Mason Categories: Editorials, Television, DC Comics, Marvel Comics,
You've probably seen this all over the internets, but a little more won't hurt. Veteran comic book writer Roger Slifer was hit by a car this past weekend.
Roger worked for both DC (where he created Lobo) and Marvel (where he worked on Avengers and Marvel Two-In-One), and later produced and/or story-edited the TV shows Jem And The Holograms, Transformers, Street Fighter and others.
Here's the story, as reported by Flint Dille:
"Roger Slifer is in intensive care after being run over in a hit and run on Friday Night around 1:00. We had originally thought of keeping this quiet, because Roger is a fairly private guy, but as word is out and time might be of the essence if we're going to find the hit-and-run driver, I'll post what I know.

Quote Of The Day: Ed Brubaker
Posted by Tom Mason Categories: Editorials, Image Comics, Marvel Comics,
"[I'm] beginning a shift from work-for-hire to books I own, instead. I hit a point with the work-for-hire stuff where I was starting to feel burned out on it. Like my tank is nearing empty on superhero comics, basically. It's been a great job, and I think I found ways to bring my voice to it, but I have a lot of other things I want to do as a writer, too, so I'm going to try that for a while instead."

Weekend Reading: Avengers, Alan Moore and Don McGregor
Posted by Tom Mason Categories: Editorials, Movies, Television, DC Comics, Marvel Comics,
A friend of mine has a bet that The Avengers' will gross $2 billion (with a "b") by the end of the year, so I guess we're all still talking about Earth's Mightiest Heroes.
If you're still talking about them, Longbox Graveyard looks at Thanos and The Infinity Gauntlet.
Then LG's honcho Paul O'Connor passes along this link with everything you need to know about Thanos.
Alan Moore, critical of movies made from his comics, is writing his own movie, which I hope someone adapts into a comic.
It's never too late to read a story or two from Don McGregor about his father.
My pal Steven Thompson has been streamlining his collection and just recently posted a bunch of great bargains at Booksteve's Bookstore: Kirby, Captain Marvel, Robert Crumb, Superman, Batman, Wonder Wart-Hog…you can't go wrong!

Quote Of The Day: Jim Starlin
Posted by Tom Mason Categories: Editorials, Marvel Comics,
"This is probably one of the first concept drawings of Thanos I ever did, long before I started working at Marvel. Jack Kirby's Metron is clearly the more dominant influence in this character's look. Not Darkseid. Both D and T started off much smaller than they eventually became. This was one of the drawings I had in my portfolio when I was hired by Marvel. It was later inked by Rich Buckler."

Weekend Reading: Bill Finger, Pixar, Toth and Calvin & Hobbes
Posted by Tom Mason Categories: Editorials, Interviews, Reviews, DC Comics, Independent, Marvel Comics,
Yeah, yeah, Avengers-mania is dying down and we're back to counting the days until San Diego, right? Well, I am. In the meantime, let's read:
Want some story-writing advice from the gang at Pixar? Of course you do.
There's no doubt that without writer Bill Finger, Batman wouldn't be Batman. Booksteve's Library has read and enjoyed Bill, The Boy Wonder: The Secret Co-Creator of Batman by Marc Tyler Nobleman. "Bob Kane was rather a self-serving individual who rarely did anything himself when he could get someone else to do it for him." One of those someones was the writer Bill Finger.
Longbox Graveyard blogger Paul O'Connor has a companion gig: a regular column at Stash My Comics called The Dollar Box. Start here.

Von E. Thurman, 84
Longtime Blackfoot residentVon E. Thurman, 84, passed away peacefully at the Eastern Idaho Regional Medical Center on Jan. 11, 2014, due to natural causes.
Von was born on Sept. 29, 1929, at Thomas to Elmer and Elva Thurman. Von attended school in Afton, Wyo. where he lived with his grandfather. He later attended Blackfoot High School where he lettered in track and boxing and graduated in 1947. He also attended barber college in Boise.
In 1947, he met the love of his life, Alice Pearson, and they were married on Jan. 27, 1948. Von and Alice enjoyed spending time together with family and friends playing games and eating dinners together.
He was a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He also enjoyed woodworking, and loved to travel when he could.
Von worked with his grandfather in Afton, Wyo., and for Lambert Produce, for the railroad, the lumberyard, and the Blackfoot School District where he retired in 1997 as a custodian. Von was a second generation barber where he worked side by side with his father in the family business located in Blackfoot until his health deteriorated.
Von was preceded in death by his father, Elmer Edward Thurman; his mother, Elva Leora Thurman; his sister, Shirley Woodland, as well as his loving wife, Alice Thurman.
He is survived by his three daughters: Chris (Blaine) Burkman of Blackfoot; Linda (Brent) Inskeep of Blackfoot; and Shawna (David) McNeil of Anchorage, Alaska; his son, Dennis (Donna) Thurman of Idaho Falls; his sisters, Karen Badten of Chubbuck; and Georgia Argyle of Albuquerque; N.M.; and his brother, Ronald Thurman, of Bullhead City, Ariz.; as well as numerous grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
A funeral service will be held at 11 a.m. on Wednesday, Jan. 15, 2014, at the Blackfoot LDS 11th Ward (520 N. Shilling, Blackfoot). The family will visit with friends on Wednesday from 10-10:45 a.m. prior to the services at the church. Burial will follow at the Shelley Hillcrest Cemetery.
Condolences may be sent to the family online at www.woodfuneralhome.com.

Agree. I'm only a middle weight but have had problems with notching alloy freehubs.twizzle wrote:Alloy freehubs. Just sooooo durable, but I guess "The Market" replaces the wheels before they need to get that cassette off.
I had to run around the bike shops to find someone who had a 254mm spoke on a fairly common Shimano MTB wheel. Or so I thought.twizzle wrote:"Unique" spokes. Because it's always fun to wait weeks to get a replacement for that spoke you broke, isn't it?
Too bad the bearings don't last too long and they can cause a spindle to fail if they seize. Having said that, I've got two working sets and two spares.twizzle wrote:Although, I really do like the Shimano two-piece setup, it is engineering elegance.
Agree. Starting to think it is part of their marketing push. I wasn't real happy with how long 105 chainwheels lasted either. Not many cheaper options though.twizzle wrote:Shimano's chain rings for the last few years. Cheaper to buy a new crankset than buy replacement chain rings - if you could even find them.
I've read from others that the more cogs, the shorter the chain lifespan, but we keep getting more cogs. Can't help but think it's almost a license to print money for the major manufacturers. I held on to 7 speed on the MTB until 8 speed parts were cheaper than 7 speed. I suppose I'll have to upgrade to 9 speed eventually...twizzle wrote:11 speed - because it has to be better than ten speed. Right? Or because it wears out quicker and you spend more on servicing.
But it's carbon, it must be better.twizzle wrote:Carbon rims with alloy braking surfaces - awesome, a heavy rim that wears out just like ones you can buy for 25% of the price, and all you get is a .2kph speed advantage once over 40kph!
Yes I feel sorry for WWs too.twizzle wrote:Everything claiming that a 15 gram saving in weight was worth the doubling in price.
Pretty common practice with commercial electronics. Some equipment has every option already loaded and you have to pay the company for the upgrade code. Probably cheaper to manufacture that way.twizzle wrote:Garmin - making you pay twice the price to get a feature that was implemented in the software and could have been made available to all of the older models.

|Speakers 2010 Holiday Gift Guide
|Sunday, 05 December 2010
Page 1 of 3You can have the best TV, the most feature packed Blu-ray player and the highest quality receiver on the market, but to get the full effect you'll need to get your hands on some great speakers. What makes a great speaker depends entirely on your tastes and needs, so we've crafted a list that should satisfy a wide range of needs.
Entry Level
When it comes to the entry level, we're looking at speakers for folks that are stepping up from their TV's built-in audio or from home theater-in-a-box type setups. Whether sold as a pair or as a full 5.1 setup, these range under $1,000 and are some of the best you can get at the entry level.
Energy 5.1 Take Classic
Audio enthusiasts can't agree on much, but what seems to be unanimous is the suggestion of Energy speakers. If you're new to surround sound, you'll be surprised at the amount of sound you can get out of a set of 5.1 speakers this size. It's perfect for apartments and smaller viewing rooms.
You'll get four 2-way Energy satellite speakers and a single center channel, all of which boast a frequency response from 115Hz to 20kHz. A 200w eight inch subwoofer is included with this set, which will get you down to 33Hz and up to 150Hz. It's not enough to fill a giant room, but for a speaker set that's regularly found between $400 and $600, you won't find better.
Zvox Zbase 550
Sometimes a speaker system just isn't right for the room. Space constraints can make floorstanding speakers an undesirable option and different materials – like cement walls – can rule out wall mounted speakers altogether. In these cases, a soundbar is an excellent option.
If you're going to go with a soundbar, the Z-Base 550 is a great way to go. Instead of sitting in front of your TV, it sits under it. The speaker system is just under 3.5 inches high and packs five main speakers at two inches each as well as a single 5.25 inch subwoofer. It boasts a 60 watt amp and produces frequencies as low as 45Hz, but offers an RCA output for an external powered subwoofer if you want to ramp things up a bit.
Paradigm Monitor 9 v.6
Paradigm's Monitor 9 floorstanding speakers are one of the best deals in loudspeakers today. They've got an MSRP of $999 for a pair but you'll regularly find them for less. As our reviewer Andre Marc puts it, "They are very nicely put together, sound great across the frequency spectrum, and are very versatile. They work equally as well for fronts in a home theater set up, or for main speakers in a two channel set up."
The Monitor 9 has a pair of 6.5 inch bass drivers and a 6.5 inch bass/midrange driver, all three of which utilize a one inch voice coil and a die-cast heat sink chassis. It also utilizes a single one inch dome tweeter. They can handle up to 150 watts at 8 ohms and have a sensitivity of 96dB.
KEF iQ90
Though they've got a manufacturer's suggested price of$750 each, you can find these for $999 a pair in Black Ash, Dark Apple and American Walnut finishes. Not only are these great sounding speakers, but they've got a higher end look at an entry level price.
The iQ90 is a three-way bass reflex speaker with a 6.5 inch mid/bass Uni-Q driver that's designed to reproduce the human voice in all its nuances. Low frequencies down to 33Hz are handled by a pair of 6.5 bass drivers and highs are tackled by a 0.75 inch aluminum tweeter.

Together with the vehicle-specific, flexible frame attachments, the risk of the engine and frame damages is greatly reduced. The perfectly designed impact body made of a special plastic offers the ideal sliding properties and an abrasion resistance.

Topic : 12/19 Beyond the Front Lines
Created on : Thursday, December 11, 2008, 02:55:31 pm
Military men and women are true American heroes who spill their blood fighting for our freedoms. But are we doing all we can as a nation to honor our contract with these warriors? When a soldier survives war, oftentimes he/she comes home and to face a different battle. Dr. Phil's guests are vets who say they've returned from the front lines only to fight a medical system bureaucracy that is failing them. Randy was severely injured during an ambush while deployed in Iraq. His mother, Tammy, says the military lied to him, and used him, and that Randy was eventually lost in the system. She says getting any help from Veterans Affairs is a struggle with minimal results. Dr. Phil introduces this wounded warrior to two special people who want to make his life better. Next, Jerry says he got a "raw deal" when he returned from Iraq, and he's struggling with what he believes to be Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). His wife says Jerry is angry and violent, and she's afraid of him. You won't believe what they say Veterans Affairs advised Jerry to do to cope with his suicidal thoughts. Chairman of the House Committee on Veteran's Affairs, Congressman Bob Filner, and FOX News military analyst Colonel David Hunt passionately share their opinions about health care for veterans. Then, Kevin and Joyce say their son came home from Iraq a changed man. They say they tried to get him help for what they believed was severe PTSD, but it didn't come in time. And, Tammy Duckworth, Director of the Illinois Department of Veteran Affairs and Paul Rieckhoff, Director of Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America, weigh in on the cases. If you're an American, this is your call to arms to step up and help turn things around for the men and women in uniform. Join the discussion.

Otis Shifts Work Closer to Home
Globalization has come full circle at Otis Elevator Co.
The U.S. manufacturer, whose elevators zip up and down structures as diverse as the Empire State Building and the Eiffel Tower, is moving production from its factory in Nogales, Mexico, to a new plant in South Carolina.
More startling: Otis says the move will save it money.
What's happening at Otis is part of a broader shift in the way manufacturers tally costs.
Their outlook has been changing as the cost of producing abroad has risen and they have devised more efficient ways to make things close to where they want to sell them.
International companies ranging from Ford Motor Co. F -0.35% to General Electric Co. GE 1.82% have started returning to the U.S. some jobs that they had previously shipped offshore, a process sometimes dubbed as "reshoring."
"It's a trickle, it's not a trend—but clearly companies are now thinking more about it," says Scott Paul, executive director of the Alliance for American Manufacturing, a nonprofit alliance of business and labor groups that lobbies for domestic production.
A number of forces are behind the modest influx. Wages and other costs are going up in foreign countries—especially China—while pay in many industrial sectors inside the U.S. has risen slowly or even fallen in many cases. Transportation costs have grown, as have the costs of holding large stocks of inventory, a common precaution when producing goods far from their end market.
Companies also recognize how moving jobs to the U.S. at a time of high unemployment can enhance their image. "A lot of companies still don't publicize plant closures in the U.S.-which they're still doing," says Mr. Paul, while going out of their way to tout moving jobs back into the country. But longer term, he says, there should be genuine gains for the American economy and workers.
Stephen Maurer, the head of the manufacturing practice at consultants AlixPartners LLP, says some things will always be made in low-cost places, like clothes, "because they involve tons of labor."
But for many other goods, the numbers are shifting. In new study, Mr. Maurer found that it's still cheaper to make a long list of basic industrial goods in places like Vietnam, Russia, or Mexico, but the gap has shrunk. Some analysts say this trend is accelerating and will eventually make the U.S. the cheapest place to produce a wider range of goods. Otis thinks that's already the case for its elevators.
When Otis moved production down to Mexico in 1998, "it clearly was for cost-oriented reasons," says Didier Michaud-Daniel, chief executive of the United Technologies Corp. unit. "But since then, logistics costs have increased a lot."
Otis declined to disclose all its cost calculations, but it said the new South Carolina plant will undercut the costs of producing in Mexico.
Among other things, the plant will be closer to many of the company's customers, about 70% of whom are on the East Coast of the U.S.
The company figures that will lower its freight and logistics costs 17.3%.
Another 20% of savings, the company says, will come from "efficiencies" of having all its white-collar workers associated with elevator design and production located at the new factory.
The company, which is based in Farmington, Conn., had only final-assembly operations in Mexico, keeping design and engineering jobs in the U.S.
That meant toolmakers from Dallas and engineers and designers based in Indiana and Arizona had to travel across the border.
"We really needed to rationalize our supply chain, and the way to do that was to have everything in one place," says Mr. Michaud-Daniel.
At the new Florence, S.C., plant, designers and engineers will be close at hand, helping with a planned launch of a new generation of elevator designs.
It also will be easier for customers to visit the plant. Nogales is 65 miles from the nearest U.S. commercial airport, in Tucson, Ariz.
The new factory will have 360 workers, about the same total number as the Nogales facility, though that will include white-collar jobs and fewer factory-floor positions.
The facility will use more automation, including designs developed in Otis's European factories, to reduce the need for production workers, says Mr. Michaud-Daniel.
Many U.S. producers, meanwhile, remain committed to Mexico—in part because they view manufacturing there as a way to keep production close to U.S. customers while still benefiting from cheaper labor.
That's the view of John Heppner, chief executive of Master Lock Co., of Milwaukee.
Citing rising costs in China, the company has moved some production back to the U.S., as well as to its large factory in Nogales—not far from Otis's plant.
"We don't just have a maquiladora in Nogales," says Mr. Heffner, using the term for border plants that do mostly basic assembly work, "but a world-class manufacturing operation."
Indeed, Master Lock's plant in Nogales employs 1,100 and is its largest plant in North America. It also serves as the distribution hub for the western half of the U.S.
Master Lock, like many American companies, moved work to Mexico and China to survive an onslaught of foreign competition over the past decade.
"But a lot of those dynamics have turned," says Mr. Heppner.
For now, he says, Mexico makes sense for a big chunk of his company's production.

At the grand opening of the new Church of Scientology of New York, Mr. David Miscavige spoke about the impact of the Scientology Volunteer Minister program at an international level, as well as a personal level.
For as Mr. Miscavige explained, it was in New York that Scientologists inspired the world following the tragic events of 9/11 that "Something Could Be Done About It" a single phrase that now drives a global movement bringing help and hope to millions in nations across the world.
what we are bringing to New York Scientologists today, with this new church, is what you inspired across the rest of the world three years ago. In fact, it can be said in a single phrase that now drives a global movement bringing hope and salvation to millions, world over.
"For in the darkest of times and worst of places, you stood tall amongst it all, as a shining beacon of light, proclaiming in action that:
The conditions we face today are but "symptoms" of the real "disease" behind cultural decline. A society is comprised of individuals. And if solutions are what we seek then let's revitalize the individual himself.
Which returns me to the events of three years ago, and the atrocities of September 11th. It was a "wake-up call" for all of us. The curtain came down, exposing the fragile state of the world we live in. While others would respond with war and military action, we recognized terrorism as but a symptom of what really ails man. By the same token, the urgency of our mission had never been clearer. More bluntly, the demand for our solutions had never been greater. People were asking for help and it was time for us to answer.
And so we come full circle to New York, and a movement you "inspired" which now spans the globe. I am, of course, speaking of our Scientology Volunteer Ministers. Today, they are internationally known, and recognized, for what has been described as "spiritual first aid". To that end they are ready and organized to respond to any disaster man-made or by force of nature.

A BlankTV Premiere Presentation:
When All Else Fails - "Agree to Disagree"
Artist Bio:
When All Else Fails' New Video & Single "Agree to Disagree" Wins the War for Your Heart
NYC's When All Else Fails wear their hearts on their sleeves while dishing out their emotional brand of extreme music. The band's first single "Agree to Disagree" is a raging, anthemic slab of heavy, metallic hardcore. Powerful and lyrical, it is a pointed introduction to the band's philosophy of destroying life's sometimes overwhelming obstacles. The band recently shot a music video for the new single, filmed and directed by Tony Hanson of Fenix Studios. BlankTV has the exclusive premiere on their YouTube channel!
Breaking down barriers is something vocalist Rich Canci has been fighting for almost every day of his 23 years on this planet. A 5-time cancer survivor and amputee, Canci's single-minded drive manifests itself in his charity work and live event promotions, all while finding time to tend bar and graduate from nursing school. This seeming one-man army doesn't do all the heavy lifting in When All Else Fails, though. Alongside Rich is Samantha Pietrunti, whose clean vocal work provides a lush counterpoint to Canci's hardcore vocal delivery. Couple their voices with the melodic leads of guitarist James Kenny and the driving rhythmic backbone of Matt Shake (guitar), Ed Mone (bass), and James Aquaredda (drums) and you've got the recipe for your new favorite band.
When All Else Fails is working hard to claim that title. They are currently in the studio recording Stepping Stones, their debut EP, which will undoubtedly catapult them out of the tri-state bubble and put them on the map for listeners all over the world to hear. As the first single from Stepping Stones, "Agree to Disagree" is an incredible first volley in this campaign for world dominance.
Okay, the band demands that you stop reading and start listening. Immerse yourself in their world...

He asked me to help cook ribs at a competition charity event run by Garry Maddox at Citizen?s Bank Park - I agreed. This was the first time I ever cooked ?real? BBQ. We used two $30 brinkman smokers and finished in the top 5! We are now the greatest BBQ?ers in the world ... in our own minds. We upgraded our equipment to a couple of Weber Smoky Mountains and a Big Green Egg smoker, then planned our KCBS debut in 2006. Our first competition was at ?BBQ on the Farm? in Bristol, PA. We finished 8th in ribs and dead last in brisket and had a great time. We also gained a new member to the team, Jack Rhubright, who I still cook with today. Mid-way through our 2006 season Jack and I officially changed our team name to Blind Pig BBQ. -Tom Bera The origin of the name "Blind Pig" stems from the prohibition days in Chicago. A "Blind Pig" was an establishments that illegally provided alcoholic beverages. The saloonkeeper would charge customers to see an attraction (such as an animal), and provide a "complimentary" alcoholic beverage, thus circumventing the law.

Smaller than the "queen", this rose-colored chime adds drama to the garden.
These wind chimes are tuned to the Aeolian Mode, one of the most romantic modes of music heard during the English Tudor Renaissance of the 16th century. Many of the songs of those days madrigals, airs and ballads, as well as folk songs used a modal scale. This period was rich with music played by the minstrels in the street as well as the nobility in the Court even King Henry VIII was an accomplished composer. The Tudor Rose was the emblem adopted by the Tudor family and one is silkscreened on this windchime's windcatcher. Let the wind be your troubadour and serenade you with the enchanting sounds of the Tudor Rose Chimes.This chime carries a lifetime tuning guarantee.

That's exactly what I wonder about. The way you put it it seems like reggae attracts smokers because it's smokers music. This suggests that it always has been this way, and that's what I doubt about.
I read here and there that in the first roots sessions in the UK, people were just standing and listening to the music. The reason they came to listen was because this was music with a militant message that gave people in a difficult situation at that time something to hold on to. Drinking and dissolute behavior wasn't tolerated, people didn't gather there to 'chill out' or 'go wild'. It's only later, when the sessions became bigger and also drew a smaller white audience, students were sitting on the floor and rolling spliffs.
Of course I wasn't there in the 'early days' so what I'm writing here is from hearsay and partially speculation. But this anecdote makes me wonder if there ever has been a lot of truth in the cliché of weed smoking black men that make reggae. I suppose in rasta communities there was effectively a lot of ganja smoking for spiritual and ritual purposes, but as I said that's entirely different from the recreative smoking that we know.
MulatuAstatke wrote:I'm pretty sure reggae and music in general has always been about enjoying yourself, especially in the situation of a dance/blues. I don't think people were just solemnly standing about listening to heavy bass, not all the music was about rasta and not all the music was about ganja. I think its more been the Shaka influence which has continued to this day that encourages the stand still, meditate on bass weight, testoreone fuelled, minor key funeral music. Back in the ska days rum was the inebriator of choice and I doubt they held back.

KANSAS CITY, Kan. — A Kansas City lawyer pleaded guilty to conspiracy to launder drug money, according to a news release from U.S. Attorney Barry Grissom's office Wednesday.
Ronald E. Partee, 66, Kansas City Mo., pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to commit money laundering and one count of money laundering.
In his plea, Partee admitted he conspired with co-defendants Mendy Read-Forbes, 37, Platte City, Mo., and Laura Shoop, 46, Platte City, Mo., who were indicted by a grand jury Jan. 24. The investigation began in March 2012 when a U.S. Secret Service agent working undercover met Read-Forbes. She was holding herself out as the owner of Forbes & Newhard Credit Solutions, Inc., a nonprofit organization established to provide credit counseling to people who were in bankruptcy proceedings. In fact, she was not the legal owner but exercised control of the company's bank account along with Partee. Shoop was an acquaintance of Read-Forbes who worked at various times for the company.
The agent was posing as a marijuana dealer. Forbes offered to consult with Partee and to devise a scheme to launder the dealer's drug proceeds. As part of the scheme, Forbes offered to deposit money given to her by the drug dealer into the bank accounts of Forbes and Newhard Credit Solutions or related companies and then to return the money to the dealer via checks, money orders or wire transfers. The bank accounts were in Kansas.
To make the transactions appear legitimate, Forbes gave the drug dealer a contract titled "Purchase and Sale of Business Agreement." The contract, bearing the signature of Partee and the drug dealer, made it appear that the marijuana dealer was purchasing assets of FCP, Inc., a corporation controlled by Forbes and Partee.
To make it appear that the drug dealer was engaged in business as a certified credit counselor with Forbes and Newhard Credit Solutions, Forbes gave the drug dealer a certificate saying he had completed training as a bankruptcy specialist.
In addition, Forbes created a fictitious company called Maximum Lawn Care, LLC, and opened bank accounts where cash from the drug dealer was deposited.
Partee was at various times a member of the board of directors for Forbes and Newhard and a signator on FCP's bank accounts. On April 20, 2012, Partee approved two wire transfers from the FCP account that he believed were drug funds. He sent $5,000 to a bank account of Maximum Lawn Care and $5,000 to the bank account of an undercover agent posing as a drug dealer. During a meeting May 25, 2012, at Partee's office, the undercover agent posing as a drug dealer sought advice from Partee concerning where he could store marijuana. During the meeting, which was recorded, Partee engaged in the discussion.
Sentencing will be held at a later date. Prosecutors have agreed to recommend a sentence of five years in federal prison.
The Kansas Bureau of Investigation, the U.S. Secret Service, the Internal Revenue Service and the Department of Housing and Urban Development investigated. Assistant U.S. Attorney Chris Oakley and Assistant U.S. Attorney Jabari Wamble are prosecuting.

Top Score for Teacher Prep
Top HeadlinesDate: September 9, 2010
Contact: firstname.lastname@example.com
For the third straight year, the Andrews University Teacher Preparation Program is the only institution out of 32 in the state of Michigan to receive a perfect 70/70 performance score from the Michigan Department of Education. The score has also earned Andrews University's Teacher Prep Program the honor of being declared an "exemplary program."
"This repeated achievement couldn't have been done without the dedicated support of an interdisciplinary team of educators, including, Lee Davidson, chair of the Department of Teaching, Learning & Curriculum; the core Teacher Prep Program faculty including Nancy Agnetta, Michelle Bacchiocchi, Faith-Ann McGarrell, Ray Ostrander and Barbara Reid; and also to the many College of Arts & Sciences faculty who provide academic coursework for our 18 secondary education majors and 14 minors," says Jim Jeffery, dean of the School of Education.
The Office of Professional Preparation Services and the State Board of Education uses seven measures, or data points, to assess how each institution has performed in preparing elementary and secondary teachers to educate students. These measures include the passing rate on the Michigan Test for Teacher Certification; graduating teacher satisfaction level; employer satisfaction survey of graduates; number of education program completers; program review (percentage of programs approved by the state); diversity of graduating teachers population; and High Need Content–whether the institution has 35 percent or more students with a content specialty area, such as special education or mathematics, that are high-need subject areas.
Andrews University received 30 out of the total 70 points for the scores students received on the Michigan Test for Teacher Certification (MTTC), a test on the content of the major.
"We are happy to be partners with the School of Education by teaching content areas for these young educators in the Teacher Preparation Program. One thing we, in the College of Arts & Sciences, really appreciate about the collaboration experience with the School of Education is how it has strengthened our self-evaluation tools and power of assessment in student outcomes," says Keith Mattingly, dean of the College of Arts & Sciences.
Garry Sudds, director of education for the Lake Union Conference of Seventh-day Adventist Church "It is the consensus of our administrators that Andrews University School of Education graduates are well prepared to impact the lives of their students academically, emotionally and spiritually. Those involved in the Teacher Preparation Program at Andrews University are to be commended for aspiring to excellence in preparing their students for the ministry of teaching."

Open Back Lace Dress is rated out of 5 by 10.
Rated 4 out of 5 by Jflower from Simply Beautiful My mom bought this dress for me as a bday gift! I love it. This dress is gorgeous! The detail in the lace is to die for. It hugs you in all the right places. On the model it does nothing and looks loose but for someone with some meat on their bones it really gives you shape. I have a little tummy and it doesnt accentuate that area at all. It is easy to feel confident, sexy, and sofisticated in this dress. The only thing I wish was that the nude under layer touched the scoop of the neck of the dress making it a full body effect instead of having and under shirt look at the top. Other than that down fall i do like the dress. I'm 5'2'' 156lbs and wear a 36D i'd say this dress is perfect for any ocassion dinner dates, party etc its the perfect amount of sexy with out showing too much!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Breezy from Beautiful I purchased this dress in the xxs--I am 5 foot 1 and about 103 lbs. It fits perfectly...which is tough for me to find being so petite. I wore this to a dinner the other night and got many compliments.
Date published: 2014-01-02
Rated 5 out of 5 by Skigirl from A real head turner I bought the blue one bc it's more transitional than the pink; again dress not too short so it doesn't look inappropriate for a nice dinner out. The fit is perfect and the sexiest part is the open back. I'm 5'6" and dress hits a little below mid thigh and shows off the curves
Date published: 2013-08-14
Rated 5 out of 5 by Paintergirl from Great Dress I tried this dress on in blue and pink, absolutely loved both. With help from Jamie the great sales girl, I ended up getting the blue. I am going to a wedding in it. It's sexy but still classy enough for a wedding or a nice evening out. Oh and it's stretchy and SUPER comfy. I bet I'll dance the night away in it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by nycdreamer from Gorgeous dress! I bought this dress in the blue initially and loved it so much that I bought the pink as well. The fit, design, and fabric of this dress is amazing. I got a lot of compliments on this dress, and it is truly spectacular. It is true to size and it is fits well, but is not too tight. You will love this dress!!
Date published: 2013-07-26
Rated 5 out of 5 by CityGirl from LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Love this dress! I usually wear an XS but got the XXS and it fit perfectly. I tried on the blue in the store but wanted a different color. So when I saw the pink online I bought it right away..I can't wait to wear this dress...Love the back of the dress...super cute and it fits perfectly!
Date published: 2013-07-25
Rated 5 out of 5 by Joyce31 from AWESOME dress I tried on this dress in blue and fell in love with it IMMEDIATELY. It's very classy yet sexy. Fit for various occasions. It hugs the body in all the right places without being too tight. It relaxes at the bottom so it doesn't cling to your thighs, which I love.

National Consensus Report on Caregiver Assessment: Volumes I & ll
This groundbreaking two-part report from the National Center on Caregiving at Family Caregiver Alliance calls for significant improvement in health care and long-term care that relies too much on families without recognizing and assessing family caregivers' own support and health needs. Caregiver assessment is an essential component of comprehensive care for frail elders and adults with chronic or disabling conditions, particularly dementia.
The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation provided primary funding for this project, with additional support from the Archstone Foundation and The California Endowment.
Volume I, Caregiver Assessment: Principles, Guidelines and Strategies for Change, reflects the professional consensus achieved among nationally recognized experts and stakeholders on fundamental principles and practice guidelines that apply to a range of practitioners in a variety of settings. The strategies focus on stimulating caregiver assessment as a basic component of practice. (File size 2 MB, 5 minutes 56kps modem | 35 seconds broadband)
Volume II, Caregiver Assessment: Voices and Views from the Field, provides four background papers and two personal accounts. Chronic illness and disability, as these accounts reveal, affects not only the lives of the individual, but also of family members who provide the care and support.
