by David Odo
Foreword by Elizabeth Edwards
When Japan opened its doors to the West in the 1860s, delicately hand-tinted photographic prints of Japanese people and landscapes were among its earliest and most popular exports. Renowned European photographers Raimund von Stillfried and Felice Beato established studios in Japan in the 1860s; the work was soon taken up by their Japanese protégés and successors Kuichi Uchida, Kimbei Kusakabe, and others. Hundreds of these photographs, collected by travelers from the Boston area, were eventually donated to Harvard's Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology, where they were archived for their ethnographic content and as scientific evidence of an "exotic" culture.
In this elegant volume, visual anthropologist David Odo examines the Peabody's collection of Japanese photographs and the ways in which such objects were produced, acquired, and circulated in the nineteenth century. His innovative study reveals how the images' shifting and contingent uses—from tourist souvenir to fine art print to anthropological "type" record—were framed by the desires and cultural preconceptions of makers and consumers alike. Understood as both images and objects, the prints embody complex issues of history, culture, representation, and exchange.

"The photographs are a work of love"
—Donatella Lorch, "A Timeless Portrait of Nepal" Lens (blog), The New York Times
Photographer Kevin Bubriski has been visually documenting the country and people of Nepal since his first visit in 1975. Sent as a young Peace Corps volunteer to the northwest Karnali Zone, the country's remotest and most economically depressed region, he spent three years walking the length and breadth of the Karnali, planning and overseeing construction of gravity flow drinking water pipelines. He also photographed the local villagers, producing an extraordinary series of 35mm and large format black-and-white images.
For nearly four decades, Bubriski has maintained his close association with Nepal and its people. Both visual anthropology and cultural history, this remarkable body of photographic work documents Nepal's evolution from a traditional Himalayan kingdom to a rapidly changing, globalized society. Nepal: 1975–2011 also offers an incisive and comprehensive look at the aesthetic evolution of an important contemporary photographer.
Kevin Bubriski is Assistant Professor of Photography at Green Mountain College in Poultney, Vermont, and was the 2010 recipient of the Robert Gardner Visiting Artist Fellowship at the Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology at Harvard University.
Nepal: 1975–2011 is co-published with Radius Books of Santa Fe, New Mexico.
Clothbound 12 x 11 inches
"[Bubriski] has aimed to 'document what is, what presents itself.' Today he is worried about the remote villages, the rural areas, the landslides triggered by the quake. ... 'The loss,' he says, 'is far beyond belief or comprehension.'"

"As evidenced by his recent publication...Nepal 1975–2011, an adept and insightful eye will always reveal thought-provoking ways to engage another world."

Foreword by Chief Joseph Brings Plenty, Cheyenne River Sioux
The composite nineteenth-century document known as "The Pictorial Autobiography of Half Moon, an Uncpapa Sioux Chief" has at its core seventy-seven drawings made by Lakota warriors of the northern Plains. Found in a funerary tipi on the Little Bighorn battlefield after Custer's defeat in 1876, the drawings are from a captured ledger book that was later acquired by Chicago journalist James "Phocion" Howard. Howard added an illustrated introduction and leather binding and presented the document as the autobiographical work of a "chief" named Half Moon.
Anthropologist Castle McLaughlin probes the complex life history and cultural significance of the ledger and demonstrates that the dramatic drawings, mostly of war exploits, were created by at least six different warrior-artists. Examining how allied Lakota and Cheyenne warriors understood their graphic records of warfare as objects as well as images, McLaughlin introduces the concept of "war books"—documents that were captured and modified by Native warriors in order to appropriate the power of Euroamerican literacy. Together, the vivid first-person depictions in the ledger—now in the collection of Harvard's Houghton Library—make up a rare Native American record of historic events that likely occurred between 1866 and 1868 during Red Cloud's War along the Bozeman Trail.
A complete color facsimile of the Houghton ledger is reproduced in this ground-breaking volume.
Castle McLaughlin is Peabody Museum Curator of North American Ethnology.

Foreword by Robert Gardner
Essay by Bob Connolly
"Best Books 2013...The attraction of Dupont's books is that his photographs exhibit enormous passion and enthusiasm and are an effort to unlock the nature of the relationship between photographer and subject."
This publication records acclaimed Australian photographer Stephen Dupont's journey through some of Papua New Guinea's (PNG) most important cultural and historical zones: the Highlands, Sepik, Bougainville, and the capital city of Port Moresby. Through images and personal diaries, Dupont's remarkable body of work captures the human spirit of the people of PNG in their transition from tribalism to globalization. The project was conducted in 2011 with the support of the Robert Gardner Fellowship in Photography given by Harvard's Peabody Museum of Archaeology & Ethnology.
Piksa Niugini consists of two hardcover books inside a special slipcase. The first volume is a collection of portraits in luscious duotone and 4-color reproduction; the second is a vibrant collection of the diaries, drawings, contact sheets, and documentary photographs that chronicle Dupont's experience and working process and richly contextualize the more formal images in volume one. An exhibition of Dupont's New Guinea photographs is on display at the Peabody through September 2, 2013.
Dupont's photographs have received international acclaim for their artistic integrity and valuable insight into peoples, cultures, and communities that are under threat or in the process of rapid change. The photographer's many awards include a Robert Capa Gold Medal citation from the Overseas Press Club of America, a Bayeux War Correspondent's Prize, and first places in the World Press Photo, Pictures of the Year International, the Australian Walkleys, and Leica/CCP Documentary Award. In 2007 Dupont was the recipient of the W. Eugene Smith Grant for Humanistic Photography for his ongoing project on Afghanistan. His work has been featured in The New Yorker, Aperture, Newsweek, GQ, French and German GEO, Le Figaro, Liberation, The Sunday Times Magazine, The New York Times Magazine, Stern, Time, and Vanity Fair.
Piksa Niugini: Portraits and Diaries is co-published with Radius Books of Santa Fe, New Mexico.

"A monumental achievement"--American Journal of Physical Anthropology
Anthropology at Harvard recounts the rich and complex history of anthropology at America's oldest university, beginning with the earliest precursors of the discipline within the study of natural history. The story unfolds through fascinating vignettes about the many individuals—famous and obscure alike—who helped shape the discipline at Harvard College and the Peabody Museum. Lively anecdotes provide in-depth portraits of dozens of key individuals, including Louis and Alexander Agassiz, Frederic Ward Putnam, Mary Hemenway, Alice Cunningham Fletcher, Sylvanus Morley, A. V. Kidder, and Antonio Apache. The text also throws new light on longstanding puzzles and debates, such as Franz Boas's censure by the American Anthropological Association and the involvement of Harvard archaeologists in espionage work for the U.S. government during World War I.
The authors take a "cohort" perspective, looking beyond the big names to the larger network of colleagues that formed the dynamic backdrop to the development of ideas. The significant contributions of amateurs and private funders to the early growth of the field are highlighted, as is the active participation of women and of students and scholars of diverse ethnic backgrounds. A monumental achievement, Anthropology at Harvard makes an important contribution to the history of Americanist anthropology.

In the late 1950s, Chauncey C. Nash started collecting Inuit carvings just as the art of printmaking was being introduced in Kinngait (Cape Dorset), an Inuit community on Baffin Island in the Canadian territory of Nunavut. Nash donated some 300 prints and sculptures to Harvard's Peabody Museum—one of the oldest collections of early modern Inuit art. The Peabody collection includes not only early Inuit sculpture but also many of the earliest prints on paper made by the women and men who helped propel Inuit art onto the world stage.
Author Maija M. Lutz draws from ethnology, archaeology, art history, and cultural studies to tell the story of a little-known collection that represents one of the most vibrant and experimental periods in the development of contemporary Inuit art. Lavishly illustrated, Hunters, Carvers, and Collectors presents numerous never-before-published gems, including carvings by the artists John Kavik, Johnniebo Ashevak, and Peter Qumalu POV Assappa. This latest contribution to the award-winning Peabody Museum Collections Series fills an important gap in the literature of Native American art.

In 2008, Walt Disney Animation Studios announced an initiative to re-introduce the practice of animated shorts, particularly leading into full-length theatrical features due, in part, to the success of Disney/Pixar's famed shorts lead-ins.
One of the announced projects was one that immediately caught the attention and affections of many a Disney fan, that being of The Ballad of Nessie. Directed by Stevie Wermers and Kevin Deters, the 2D short is described by the studio as having 'art direction evocative of the Disney shorts from the 1940s and 50s' and being 'the honest to goodness true tale of Loch Ness and its most famous resident.'
The reason for our speculation that The Ballad of Nessie may open the July 15, 2011 release of Winnie the Pooh is that the 32-page hardcover complementary book is slated to be released on May 3, 2011 according to pre-orders now being accepted by Amazon.com. This makes perfect sense as far as timing is concerned as Disney film-related books are often published around two months prior to the film's release. In fact, although there are several Winnie the Pooh titles slated to be released between now and then, almost 10 titles are scheduled to be released the same day alone as The Ballad of Nessie.

First you learn your basics, than study about everything you'll need for spellcasting,and then you cast. You don't "try spells", you cast spells when you need them, for what you need them, not when you are bored. You don't need a teacher, you need to do things the right way.
When you're beginning with magic it can go easily or it can be confusing. I'm seeing more and more confusion every day.
To begin with, when you cast a spell you shouldn't be able to tell whether it worked or not. Magic is typically considered to work along side the laws of nature. So in a nut shell, what wouldn't happen naturally, a spell would not do for you.
For instance someone wants to become a werewolf. If normally you would not turn into a raging furry monster with excess drool, a spell will not do it otherwise.
Another example is creating fireballs, not matter how many people claim that they typically make fireballs out of thin air simply at will, you need to understand they are delusional and a spell cannot make their legitimate.
So my first advice when choosing a spell to cast is to keep in mind the likelihood of the desired outcome actually coming to be. If chances are 1 in 23.5 billion, don't keep your hopes up.
Next I stress understanding. A lot of people will tell you to cast a successful spell you need passion and true desire for the desired outcome.
In truth, that's only one of several factors that goes into successful work.
Another one would be to understand what you're doing and how you're doing it.
To start off with I'll tell that magic in its most basic form is the constant changing and shifting of energy. To use magic takes some kind of method of directing energy around you to affect reality and hopefully bringing about change, that change being the desired outcome.
A spell is just a tool for directing energy. It's programming the energy around you to assist you in achieving your goal, or the desired outcome.
To cast a successful spell you should understand at least that much, and you need to think deeply about how it will all work, the series of events leading up to the desired outcome. You can't just ask the universe for a better job you need to know in what manner the universe will bring about a better job. You also need to put in your own effort. You can't move out into the remote desert and expect a job offer, you have to get out there and open yourself up to opportunities.
So my next piece of advice is to not just think about what's technically possible, you need to think about what you are willing to make possible. Life is not a box of chocolates that shows up at your front door automatically opening to show you what's inside. You have to save money, buy a box, find a pair of scissors, and open it yourself; a spell will help better your chances in finding that pair of scissors.
So again, I am going to tell you about the main key of success you haven't followed. I have read that you jumped to spell casting before you gained some exprience and knowledge with the basics which are very necessary in order to move on to any form of magic, such as spell casting.
In life you cannot build any building without starting with the first floor. If you try to start building it from the second floor or higher floors, the building will collapse or even won't have the possibility to to be built. The same analogy goes with magic. You started from the "second floor" so you didn't get the possibility to "build the building".
Shortly, you basically can't cast spells properly without knowing your basics.

The Cowboys made a true value pick when they selected Cincinnati CB Mike Mickens in the seventh round.
Mickens was projected by many analysts as a middle-round pick – possibly as high as the fourth – before a late-season knee problem forced him to miss the Bearcats' three final games. He came back to play in the Orange Bowl but skipped the combine after swelling in his knee forced him to sit out the Senior Bowl.
But the Cowboys say he's fully recovered and will be ready to go at this weekend's rookie minicamp.
"He doesn't have rehab time before he can go to the field," Jerry Jones said. "He can go to the field right now."

Buddhist temple in Bagan, Myanmar
WOW.... Did you go in?
I wouldn't go in but nice picture
That particular one wasn't open but many others were.
This statue was from Japan and was installed about 900 years ago
This was a wall decoration of indeterminate age.
I appreciate these pics !! Thank you for sharing!
Myanmar is a beautiful country. Been to the Golden rock, very nice place for photography...can view pics at my blog.
nice Traveler ... (and I thought that temple was in Burma ...)
Beautiful country with some very nice people ... too bad it's all messed up with that junta business.
The appropriate name for the country is sort of up in the air. Burma was the name 'assigned' to it during the British colonial period and Myanmar is the name associated with the subsequent military governments.
Some people believe that calling it Myanmar assigns some credence to the rule of the military govt. I have no idea which is the ultimately 'correct' name.
Separate names with a comma.

Opodo Customer Reviews
Decent deals on flights but nothing mind blowing
I'd never tried Opodo but my brother booked his flight to the States there and got a good deal, so I figured I'd take a gamble and see what they had to offer. The site was basically like most other travel websites I've been to, easy to search for a flight, hotel or holiday package. The deals were pretty good, not fantastic, but I was able to use a promotional code for 20 quid off my flight, so that was nice and due to the voucher my flight ended up being cheaper than if I'd bought it elsewhere.
Ready to enjoy my city break in Berlin
I booked a break to Paris last year with Opodo so went back when my boyfriend and I decided we needed a quick getaway for Valentine's. As usual it was fantastic to book with them, really quick and hassle free. Im excited about our hotel and the flight on easyjet was definitely affordable. We saved £25 off with a code, wish we could have saved more but something's better than nothing! Overall I'd recommend Opodo if you're looking for travel deals, they seem to have offers on fairly often so it's worth looking at.

With the tendering of a 2011 contract to the arbitration-eligible Matt Lindstrom, not unexpected, the picture of the Astros' bullpen is clearing up.
There could still be a void in a lefthander's role and certainly will be a role in the class clown's shoes with the departure of veteran lefty Tim Byrdak, who was non-tendered.
The Astros are still on the lookout for a lefthanded reliever, though heavy spending on the bullpen would not seem prudent at the moment.
The unit is shaping up to be perhaps the most reliable aspect of the team with a question at the back of the rotation and numerous questions on offense that the team will try to answer at next week's Winter Meetings.
Here's a conjecture as to what the bullpen could look like come opening day 2011.
Closer: Brandon Lyon
After enjoying success both before and after taking over the closing role for an injured Lindstrom, it's Lyon's job to lose in what should be his first full spring training with the Astros. (He was slow-starting last year after dermatological shoulder surgery.)
Primary RH setup men: Matt Lindstrom/Wilton Lopez
Lindstrom is still among the highest-ceiling Astros relievers, not in the prospect ceiling sense, but when he's on, he's close to untouchable. The Astros are going to be giving him a raise, hoping the Lindstrom we saw in the first half (2.80 ERA) was real and the Lindstrom we saw in the second (7.50 ERA) was injury-caused.
As for Lopez, he rose to a level where he remained more than competent. He was Lyon's primary setup man in the time when Lindstrom was injured. He stranded all but one of his baserunners and had an impeccable total of four unintentional walks in 67 innings.
Lefty: Fernando Abad
With Byrdak and Gustavo Chacin non-tendered, the only remaining member of the ABC lefties is the A. Abad was solid in 19 innings as a rookie, compiling a 2.84 ERA. Lefties hit .179 with a .226 on-base percentage and a .393 slugging percentage against him last year.
Overqualified low-leverage righty: Mark Melancon
The 7th-8th-9th inning spots are hard to crack in this bullpen, but should there be injury or the need for a replacement based on performance, the product of the Lance Berkman trade should be fine to step in.
Long reliever: Loser of the starter sweepstakes
Despite locking up Nelson Figueroa, the Astros will still be in search of a starting pitcher to have some depth and competition in spring training. He who is left out of the rotation could very well land in this spot, especially if it's Figueroa, who has done it before.
Seventh man: Yes
The Astros are still looking for a second lefty to complement the sophomore Abad. However, they were not opposed last year to carrying one lefty. Jeff Fulchino, Henry Villar and Enerio Del Rosario are candidates for this spot if they go the righthanded route, though there are several on the 40-man roster.

Samsung Galaxy S III up for pre-order in Canada again, available on June 27. Priced from $159.99
The Samsung Galaxy S III is up for pre-order in Canada once again. This comes after well known third party retailers Best Buy and Future Shop previously decided to end pre-orders because they were unsure they could meet demand. But it seems like now they can.
Best Buy, for example, has the Galaxy S III listed for pre-order (in both white and blue versions) with three-year contracts from Bell, Telus, Rogers, Virgin Mobile, and SaskTel. In all cases, the price you'll have to pay for the phone is $159.99.
Important to note is that you can't pre-order online. You'll need to head to a physical Best Buy store and put down a $50 deposit. When you get the phone, the deposit will be credited towards the full price.
The pre-orders end on June 26, which is pretty logical, given that June 27 is now the official release date for Samsung's latest flagship smartphone in Canada.

Cambridge forfeits four hockey games
The varsity hockey team at Cambridge Rindge and Latin has been told it must forfeit all but one of its five victories this season because an ineligible student was allowed to play.
The student, whose name has not been released, needed a waiver of what is referred to as the five-year rule in which a students eligibility to play high school sports expires four years after he or she graduates from the 8th grade, according to MIAA spokesman Paul Wetzel.
But Maryann Cappello, the athletic director for Cambridge Public Schools, said she did not file the waiver application by the Dec. 15 deadline because she became seriously ill on Dec. 13 and was then hospitalized for six days.
By the time Cappello filed the waiver application in January, the student had played in four of the teams five victories and the MIAA ruled the school had to forfeit those games. The school received word Friday that an appeal of the decision had been denied.
Its not their fault, Cappello said of the team, which has a 5-10 record. They went out there and they played. Its on administration, its on me. It should have been in on the 15th. I was sick and I wasnt able to do it.
Peter Cohen, whose son Byron Cohen is a captain of the hockey team, said forfeiting the games ruins any chance the team has of making the state playoffs this year, and it could also affect individual achievements, such as being one of the top goal scorers in the league.
Cohen wrote a letter to Rindge and Latin School Interim Principal Damon Smith Tuesday asking that the school petition the MIAA on behalf of the hockey team so the games wouldnt have to be forfeited.
We feel strongly that the students should not be penalized due to an error that was soley the responsibility of [Cambridge Rindge and Latin School] administration, Cohen wrote.
Smith did not return a respond to a request for comment Friday, but Cappello said the school did appeal the ruling this week, and was informed this morning that the decision was final.
Wetzel said the MIAA allowed Rindge and Latin to file a late application for the students waiver because of Cappellos illness. But Wetzel said the MIAA did not find there was sufficient reason to grant the request for the fifth-year waiver, and the hockey team must still forfeit any victories in which the ineligible student played.
Its over, Wetzel said of the chances the decision could be overturned.
Cappello said she had become seriously ill in December and had spent time in intensive care before she returned to work on a part-time basis in early January. She said she was trying to catch up with a backlog of work when she returned, and did not remember to file the waiver until she got a call from a guidance counselor.
By then, Cappello said the students second quarter grades had been issued and he was no longer academically eligible to be on the team, either.
Prior to his second quarter grades being issued, the student did have the grades to play, Cappello said. But without the waiver for the five-year rule, the student still wasnt eligible to play, she said.
The teams first game was Dec. 17, and Cappello said the ineligible student played in a total of 10 games.
Wetzel said the MIAA typically receives about 100 applications per year for waivers of the five-year rule. He said many of the waivers are approved, but he said he would not call the waivers routine.
He said Cambridge must now send notice of the forfeits to the teams it beat while fielding the ineligible player.
Cappello said that despite its 5-10 record, the hockey team had still been hoping that it could rally and make the playoffs.
I feel really, really bad about the situation, she said.

In a weekend press conference, Lieutenant Paul Vance told the media that the "misinformation" being shared on social media sites has become a "major concern." Vance further stated his department has had discussions with federal authorities about the plausibility of pursuing charges against those who intentionally share false information or who may try to impersonate the shooter, his family, or anyone else involved in the situation.
"It is important to note that we have discussed with federal authorities [that] these issues are crimes," Vance said. "They will be investigated and prosecutions will take place."
Following the shooting, Police were "questioning a handcuffed suspect in connection with the Newtown school shooting," the Connecticut Post tweeted. A witness told Jany that a man "was led out of the woods by police in handcuffs." Connecticut State Police Lt. J. Paul Vance told reporters that there was only one shooter.
The suspect, who was dressed in "camo pants with a dark jacket' told parents outside the school that he "didn't do it," as he passed by them with police, according to the unnamed witness.
CBS News reports that a potential second suspect was in custody and that SWAT was investigating the home of the suspect. It was not known if that alleged second suspect fired any of the shots in the massacre.

Sandy Hook Promise—the organization formed last month to honor the 20 children and six adults killed in the Newtown, Conn., school shootings—has launched a social media campaign for Valentine's Day to mark the two-month anniversary of the massacre.
The group, which includes dozens of parents of the Sandy Hook Elementary School victims, is asking supporters to send virtual Valentines on Feb. 14 using the hashtag #1MillionHearts.
Participants can share the messages on Facebook, Twitter, Google+ and Pinterest from a page on the group's website.
Alyssa Milano, rapper will.i.am and Jennifer Hudson—who performed at the Super Bowl with a Newtown children's choir—are among the celebrities who have already pledged their support for the #1MillionHearts initiative from their Twitter feeds.
"I'm sending a valentine to #Newtown with #1MillionHearts for @SandyHook," Hudson tweeted. "Join me."
Lee Shull, co-founder of Sandy Hook Promise, said Valentine's Day "seemed natural to create a special way for Americans to continue channeling their love and support."
[Related: Parents of Sandy Hook victims speak, urging 'real change']
"With Valentine's Day marking the two month anniversary, we felt the need to do something to keep the 20 children and six educators who were lost in America's hearts," Sandy Hook Promise co-founder Tim Makris told Yahoo News.
Last month, the group held an emotional press conference in Newtown to promote a national dialogue on gun violence, mental health and school safety.
"This is a promise to do everything in our power to be remembered not as the town filled with grief and victims but as a place where real change began," Nelba Márquez-Greene, whose 6-year-old daughter Ana was killed in the Dec. 14 shooting, said.
The group stopped short of taking sides in the gun-control debate.
"Some of us are gun owners," Tom Bittman, another co-founder of the initiative, said. "We hunt, target shoot, protect our homes. We teach our sons and daughters how to use guns safely. [But] we're not afraid of a discussion about responsibility and accountability. The bottom line is we must act. We can't let this happen again. Doing nothing is no longer an option."

Upstairs Alone
My husband and I are buying a home soon and some of the homes have the Master on the first floor with all the other rooms on the second floor. How do you feel about having your child upstairs alone?
Doesn't bother me. You get used to it. The only bummer is laundry stuff.
Upstairs is fine, it's basement rooms I"m not big on!
one good thing is that you'd hear a teenager trying to sneak out! heh! i wouldn't feel comfy w/ lil uns, unless i had a really good baby monitor. but even w/ my lil uns just down the hall, there's always a light kept on for them, if you kept the steps lit up a lil so they'd feel comfy finding you, i'd not see that as a problem. congrats on your new house tho!
I wouldn't be to concerned with the kids having a room upstairs. That is how a lot of the homes are now these days.
I'd be fine about it if the child was past 9 or 10 years old. Before that, I wouldn't do it. Had a scare with my youngest when she was about 7, bad illness, if I had not been within earshot of her bedroom, things might not have ended well. I guess if you do have a kid upstairs when you are downstairs, i'd do a baby monitor in their rooms even if they are older.

Louis Falcetti writes for Bleeding Cool;
Some stories at Comic-Con go under the radar. Some go way under the radar. Some can only be found using a metal detector while walking slowly and sadly up the beach. For some reason known only to the publicity gods, the Neil Hamburger Comics Digest was one of those stories that got totally ignored in the din of screeching barkers and mini-media moguls.
If you're not familiar with America's Funnyman, Neil Hamburger (the character worn with Kaufmanesque devotion by Gregg Turkington) is a sweaty, alcoholic mess of a lounge performer. If Steven Wright's joke cadence is jazz, Neil's is the bastard child of violent country, lounge sadism and brutal face-punching metal. He'll think nothing of soaking an audience member with a drink or delivering ten minutes of Smash Mouth jokes that almost always end in sodomy or the toilet. A performer more than a comic, in that you won't really understand the act until you see it. So of course that it makes sense that Neil would put out a comics digest.
Or did he? When you open the book (not you probably, it's a print run of 500) you discover via the first strip that Neil's manager lost Neil's likeness rights and name in a poker game, so now Blank Stare Entertainment is going to put out all the Neil Hamburger merch they can and will sue the few remaining hairs on his head if he tries to perform or complain.
And of course it would be like this, when a performer commits to a character with the zeal that Turkington has the audience should expect nothing less than to ride out the concept regardless of medium. Though the book starts with a premise, it doesn't stick to it to the point where it becomes a distraction. If anything once the ball is rolling readers are treated to a tour of comic history, with Hamburger as guide.
I was stunned as I read through it, at the time and care that obviously went into the book. I'm a sucker for movies about movies and I'm even more of a sucker for comics about comics, especially when a meta-textual character like Neil Hamburger slides even further into a fictional reality to add a bizarre and hilarious view to a well tread region.
The book has pin-ups, activity sections, paper dolls, and strips that go the distance from The Family Circus to Jack Kirby. The roster of artists that have pages inside is the reason why the book looks so good and drips with knowing, caustic wonder and humor. From a Darick Robertson cover to interior work by Batton Lash, Jeffrey Brown and Chris Wisnia, the Neil Hamburger Comics Digest team is stunning and worthy of praise and attention.
I spoke with writer and CEO of B.S. Entertainment, Phil Hellenmeyer about the book and the process of putting it together.
First off, you have a Darick Robertson cover. That is awesome. Did you approach him, was he a fan of Neil's already?
That was pretty nuts. Ryan and I share a mutual friend of Darick's, and a few Comic-Cons ago we randomly (literally in the middle of a thousand nerds) ran into Darick on the floor. Our buddy, Brian "Chunk" Kelly, introduced us and told Darick that we were working on a Neil Hamburger comic book. Darick was ecstatic that somebody was working on a project like this, and like any huge Hamburger fan proceeded by roll[ing] off Neil Hamburger bits one by one! We asked him if he might be interested in doing a pin-up and he assertively said, "I'll do the cover!" It was definitely one of the highs of the project So it was really just dumb luck.
Now, given the premise of the book, I took "Blank Stare" to be a joke company name, B.S. comics being a winking nod at itself. Does Blank Stare just exist to publish Neil's comics digest or are there other things coming out under the company imprint?
Yeah, we've definitely got more Blank Stare Entertainment projects in the works, more comics and other cool stuff. We are doing more projects with comedians/musicians, we would love to carve out a niche where comic books meet live entertainment. Nobody buys CD's anymore but we're banking that fans will pick up a comic book if the stories add something new and fun to the artists catalogue. The name kind of came about as of a goof that fit in with the feel of the book, but we also thought it sounded dumb and subversive… and we both at least consider ourselves dumb!
You've assembled a really impressive roster of artists for this book, underground names that span decades (Batton Lash) and other younger creators like Kristen Adam. How did you select the people to be in this? Were they all fans or friends of Neil? It's such a small publication (the inside of the cover say that there were only 500 copies) and it's such an impressive roster, I was just curious as to a little bit about the background of assembling it.
Batton Lash is a legend in comics and our mentor (whether he likes it or not). We all live in San Diego. He's helped us from the beginning, was our initial artist, and introduced us to Bill Galvan. He also set us up with Dan Bois who did a great job designing the book and additional lettering duties. We had a whole gang of Chunk's young cartoonist friends from San Francisco (Kristen Adam, Star St. Germain, Sam Harris and Tim Riherd) that made great contributions, we like to imagine them as a Little Rascals type gang getting into trouble in the wacky Haight- Ashbury.. Chunk is the unofficial third member of Blank Stare Comics…we need to provide him with a proper title. Robert Dayton and Julian Lawrence came by way of Gregg Turkington (aka Neil Hamburger), and we personally sought out Chris Wisnia! and Jeffrey Brown because we're huge fans of their work. We did make a real effort to get a diverse set of styles in there to fit the specific genres (i.e Wisnia! with his Kirby monsters).
Is this a one-off? Once the 500 copies are sold will there be any more Neil Comic Digests? Or reprints of this one? If people want to pick it up, will it be sold at Neil's shows or is there a website you'd like people to look to?
We're not sure about reprints after the first 500, but if all goes well we plan on putting out another volume. People can get copies at Neil Hamburger's live shows or at our website www.blankstareentertainment.com, (we'll ship internationally too!) and we're working on getting copies out to some cool retailers… if they'll have us.
The old time comic ads in the book, at first I scrutinized them trying to find if they were jokes, but they seem to be actual old ads, what was the thinking behind putting those in?
The original plan was to do our own fake 50's/60's ads, a la "The Book of Subgenius," but after doing some research and scrounging around old comic shops, we found that actual ads from the 50's/60's were much more ridiculous and awesome than anything we could come up with ourselves. It was a cool feeling, spending hours looking through old books and finding these amazing advertisements. We felt, it was our duty to get them out into the world again.
For a book that seems to be aimed at a very specific section of fandom (comics AND neil hamburger) it actually does a pretty good job of highlighting various time periods and genres of comic books, from the "Classics Illustrated" style strip, to the obvious Jack Kirby influenced one. Was this a conscious decision or a happy accident?
We know this sounds real douchey, but it was completely intentional and our initial pitch to Gregg was; drop Neil Hamburger and his world view into a "love letter" to comics history. We really love the digest format, from the Archie books our mommies bought us at the grocery store to the crazy underground comix digests that Crumb and friends put out in the 60's/70's. Sometimes, people forget how many genres comic creators have created besides superhero's. If you look hard enough you can find comics in about any genre that exists in entertainment. Bottom line, we love all comics and have a bunch more stories where Neil will ruin other classic genres!

Bizarro Politics Comes To Florida
Maybe we were lulled into thinking that politics was starting to calm down in Florida.
For much of the past year we were captivated by the steady erosion of support for Gov. Charlie Crist, the once all-but-certain Republican nominee for an open Senate seat. Then came the surge for Marco Rubio, the former speaker of the state House and the darling of conservatives. Finding himself a certain loser in the primary, Crist left the GOP in April to run as an independent.
A complete absence of drama on the Democratic side: Rep. Kendrick Meek was going to be his party's nominee.
And the race for governor to succeed Crist? Also a done deal: state Attorney General Bill McCollum (R) vs. Chief Financial Officer Alex Sink (D).
Right? Wrong.
Nobody counted on Rick Scott. Or Jeff Greene.
Scott, a multi-millionaire former health care executive, jumped into the GOP race for governor and now leads McCollum by 13 points in the latest Quinnipiac poll.
Democrat Greene, a Palm Beach real estate billionaire, is virtually tied with Meek for the Senate in that same poll, with Meek holding a slim 29-27 percent lead.
What accounts for their sudden success? Money. Scott has spent more than $12 million on his race, and Greene says he will spend as much as $40 million to win his primary. Much of their money has been directed towards buying up media time.
Wealthy candidates winning primaries or elections is nothing new. We saw Meg Whitman pour some $70 million of her own money to win the California GOP gubernatorial nomination. Michael Bloomberg reached into his own deep pockets to win three races for mayor of New York City. And New Jersey Democrat Jon Corzine won both a Senate seat and the governorship until his luck ended last year.
But Florida's two millionaire candidates seem to have come out of nowhere. Scott describes himself as a "pro-life, pro-jobs, pro-Second Amendment and pro-family" conservative outsider. Greene's rise in the polls is even more hard to explain. Mike Tyson was the best man at his wedding, Heidi Fleiss lived in his guest house after she left prison, and he made much of his fortune from betting on the fall of the housing market.
But money has a strange way of changing political campaigns, and so neither candidate can be written off. Scott has a tough ad taking aim at McCollum's record on the housing crisis, citing votes when he was in the House.
Greene's ads are equally tough, going after Meek's relationship with the ethically challenged developer Dennis Stackhouse. And as for charges that he was a profiteer of the foreclosure crisis, writes The Atlantic's Chris Good, "his campaign says he's a businessman who saw the crash coming and did what he should have to protect the jobs he had created."
The Florida primary is Aug. 24.

RV Supplies
Essential camping packing list and RV supplies
Packing an RV for a trip can be a bit challenging. What should I bring? What can I leave behind? What kind of items will I need? Also, space is limited. The best way to start is right in your living room with your camping packing list . Lay the items out before packing so you know exactly how much you are bringing. This way, you can eliminate any unnecessary clutter.
Personal camping packing list
Start with personal items, like your clothing: Are you camping somewhere warm, or near the water? Will it be cold? Will you be outside a lot, or hitting the local museums? Your destination plays a big role in what you pack. Be sure to take at least 5 changes of clothing that are suitable for where you are headed. Bring comfortable shoes for sightseeing. If you're planning something special, bring one nice outfit. Don't forget about your toiletries, including shampoo, toothbrush and toothpaste, mouth wash, floss, and sunscreen. Bring books, games, cards, and other items that you enjoy.
Important RV supplies
If you own your own RV, it is a good idea to purchase essential items specifically for your RV, including kitchen items, bedding, tools and other RV supplies that will stay in the RV after the trip. When stocking up your kitchen, remember that space is limited. Take the things you use daily, such as a coffee maker. Include a few pots and pans of varying sizes to fulfill any cooking need. Don't forget measuring cups, a cutting board, a nice set of knives, can opener, cooking utensils, hot pads, oven mitts, silverware, plates, cups, and bowls. If you can avoid glass, do so. Remember that items can shift when the RV is in motion, so the less delicate, the better. If you do not plan on doing very many dishes while camping, stock up on paper and plastic goods. Don't forget plastic bags, aluminum foil, Tupperware, and plastic wrap. Get sheets, blankets and pillows to keep in the RV, as well as towels and a table cloth. More vital RV supplies include a tool kit. Be sure to have a wide variety of tools in the RV that can handle any situation. This includes varying sizes of screwdrivers, both Philip and flat head, duct tape, zip ties, hammer, wrenches, a jack, spare tire, spare parts, crowbar, fire extinguisher, bungee cords, battery jumper pack, fuses, wd40, measuring tape, and other such items. It is also important to have maps, spare batteries, GPS, matches, flash lights, an extra cell phone battery, lanterns, a first aid kit, leveling blocks, cb radio, and a sewing kit.
Having a camping packing list makes it easier and faster to pack up the RV. Check things off as you go, and you'll be ready to go in no time!

But what about Thunderbird icon? Will it be updated too? Please!
Short answer, yes. You didn't even need to say "pretty please".
We're beginning the work to update the Thunderbird icon. We really like how the Firefox icon turned out, and we'll be working with the folks at Icon Factory so we can be consistent.
I've been impressed with how Alex Faaborg has led the charge with the Firefox Icon refresh, his vision, and his ability to communicate and work with everybody. We're working with Alex as well, he's got a great eye, and we're lucky.
The Process
As I understand, it's going to be fast and furious in terms of the design and feedback loop the next couple weeks. I'll be posting a final creative brief before we get started, and happy to take feedback on it now. I'll be posting the iterations and calling for feedback as soon as I get them.
It would be great if all feedback can be done as comments to these blog posts as opposed to direct emails to me.

Worlds Benefits Red Cross
More than 1,100 competitors from 13 countries will attend the 2012 Professional Disc Golf Association Professional and Amateur World Championships July 14-21 in Charlotte.
A portion of proceeds from the tournament will benefit the American Red Cross.
"We chose the American Red Cross because this tournament is drawing people from around the world," said Sam Nicholson, tournament director. "The Red Cross is a global organization, and we support its mission to help people in time of need no matter if they are here in the United States or overseas."
The local Red Cross is assisting the tournament by providing and recruiting volunteers. Volunteers are still needed, as the tournament is set to break records.
"The number of players coming to Charlotte will make this the largest disc golf tournament in the history of the sport," Nicholson said.
World titles in 25 divisions will be at stake as players compete on 14 Mecklenburg County courses, the most ever used in a single disc golf event.
Volunteers are needed in a variety of areas, including:
- Assist tournament staff
- Serve as welcome crews at the airport
- Transport players to multiple courses
- Staff coolers/water stations
- Work as parking attendants
Volunteers who work multiple shifts will receive a tournament T-shirt and meal voucher.
To volunteer:
Sign up online to volunteer or contact Bryan Paschal at [email protected] or 704.906.2929.
Visit www.pdga.com/2012worlds for more information on volunteer opportunities and the tournament.
This is the third time Charlotte has hosted a Professional Disc Golf Association event. The first was in 1986 with play on three courses. A decade later, Charlotte hosted the 1997 World Championships.
About the American Red Cross:
The American Red Cross shelters, feeds and provides emotional support to victims of disasters; supplies nearly half of the nation's blood; teaches lifesaving skills; provides international humanitarian aid; and supports military members and their families. The Red Cross is a charitable organization — not a government agency — and depends on volunteers and the generosity of the American public to perform its mission.

Union urges university to support local economy
The University of Tasmania is facing pressure to use only locally-produced materials in the construction its new student accommodation.
About 100 unionists have marched through Hobart to the proposed site of new student housing.
CFMEU national secretary Michael O'Connor says he wants a guarantee from the university that state and federal government funding for the project will support the local manufacturing industry, not foreign products.
"In Tasmania the economy's doing it tough, we have to fight for every single job we can get," he said.
"There's a situation where there's a government program, the University of Tasmania has control of $70 million.
"They're going to make a decision how to spend that $70 million on affordable housing and we're saying they should source all the material here in Tasmania."
University vice-chancellor Peter Rathjen says the project is only in its infant stages.
"We have just started planning for a project and we don't even know what building are going to look like," he said.
"So far all of the work and all of the materials we've used have been Tasmanian or Tasmanian people and that is our very strong preference.
"But at such an early stage in the project it would be irresponsible to provide cast-iron guarantees."
Finance Minister Scott Bacon says all parties would prefer the project to support local jobs.
"The Government really wants to see this work go to Tasmanian companies and Tasmanian workers," he said.
"Essentially it is a matter between the CFMEU and the university, but in the past the university has provided that work to Tasmanian companies and to Tasmanian workers an we want to see this continue."

Perhaps, but only if your laptop comes from Dell, Lenovo, Toshiba, Fujitsu or Apple. Which covers almost all the main portable manufacturers except HP and, oddly, Sony, whose battery manufacturing plant in Japan made millions of lithium-ion batteries that have now been recognised as a potential fire hazard - so much so that a number of airlines refused to allow computers containing them on board, even in the hold.
Last week Lenovo, the Chinese manufacturer which recently took over IBM's personal computer division, told the owners of more than half a million Thinkpads built between February 2005 and September 2006 to check them to see if they were harbouring potentially dangerous batteries.
This week Toshiba added 500,000 more computers to its existing tally, and Fujitsu said an unconfirmed number of its own machines were affected. Dell added 100,000 to its recall. Two months after Dell kicked off the affair by calling in more than 4m batteries, more than 7m are now affected. All are captured under the umbrella of "Sony's global battery exchange program".
What began as a large but limited recall is now sweeping across the industry, and Sony is talking to the US Consumer Product Safety Commission about whether portable DVD players and gaming devices should also be included. However, a commission spokeswoman told the FT that only 47 battery fires have been reported out of billions in service.
So why are HP and Sony not recalling batteries that must have been made at the same time as those which are being recalled, and which one would expect might be at risk from the same manufacturing defect (of tiny metal shards in the battery electrolyte) as others?
HP said in a statement that "to date HP has received no reports of overheating causing a battery failure in Sony 2.4 or 2.6Ah [amp hour] cells used in some ... HP notebook PCs. Sony has communicated that HP should not be impacted by the Apple or Dell replacement programs. HP believes it will not be impacted by the latest Lenovo or Sony recalls."
And Sony itself? The VAIO division is still deciding whether to join its parent company's recall program. The company itself says that the latest additions are a line in the sand, an end to the fiasco. Unfortunately, we've heard that before - after Dell, then Apple, then Toshiba.
Sony's reputation with millions of laptop owners is in tatters, as customers grapple with the logistics of sending back their potentially dangerous batteries, and the Japanese electronics giant tries the act of metaphorically - and in some cases literally - firefighting.

Parables as Subversive Speech: Jesus as Pedagogue of the Oppressed
William Herzog shows that the focus of the parables was not on a vision of the glory of the reign of God but on the gory details of the way oppression served the interests of the ruling class. The parables were a form of social analysis, as well as a form of theological reflection. Herzog scrutinizes their canonical form to show the distinction between its purpose for Jesus and for evangelists. To do this, he uses the tools of historical criticism, including form criticism and redaction criticism.

Last week, Harlem Public Safety Chief Gary Jones created a little stir on the department's Facebook page that sent ripples across the Internet and drew reactions from people in states across the nation.
Jones had created the Facebook page when he was named department director in May, as an official communications outlet for the community. The page provides information on everything from crime prevention and safety tips to notifications about self-defense and teen driving classes.
From the beginning, however, Jones has also used the page to espouse his personal religious beliefs. For the most part, Jones' commentary on his Christian faith was met with approval from local residents who visited the page, and the chief was unapologetic about using the platform to promote his beliefs.
A Sept. 5 post read: "Some folks have asked me, are you concerned about speaking of God on your agency's FB page? My answer is absolutely not. Some folks scream about separation of Church & State, but this country was built trusting in GOD. Many will not be happy until they see the name of God or Jesus removed from everything, including US currency."
But earlier this month, after Jones posted commentary admonishing parents to do a better job disciplining their children and encouraging the use of corporal punishment, he caught the attention of people who not only didn't agree with his parenting tips, but were alarmed at his evangelization efforts on the official department page.
That post and some others that followed attracted hundreds of comments and set off a running debate between those defending Jones' right to express his beliefs and those who argued that using an official Facebook page amounted to state promotion of a specific religion, and a violation of the First Amendment.
The commentary became heated and at times profane. Ultimately, the controversy attracted the attention of the Wisconsin-based Freedom From Religion Foundation, which sent a letter to the department to cease and desist.
At first, Jones was adamant that he would continue posting about his Christian faith, but by Monday he had changed his mind. The controversial posts were removed and Jones said he would keep his religious views on his personal Facebook page from now on.
It was the wise thing to do.
There is no doubt that Jones had the best of intentions when he began expressing Christian views on the department page.
We often forget that police officers are the people who get to see humanity at its worst. They encounter people every day who could greatly benefit from a healthy share of moral and spiritual guidance. It is certain that Jones had these people in mind when he implored visitors to the page to accept the grace of Jesus Christ.
Still, the official department Facebook page was the wrong format for the expression of his beliefs. He should have known that from the start. Government should not use its resources to promote a specific religion in an official capacity.
Many point to the Christian beliefs of our founding fathers as justification for promoting religion in schools or government meetings. We must remember, however, many of those people who established the country came here to escape religious persecution from governments in other lands. We want moral and ethical people to lead our government, but we don't need a police officer, mayor, governor or president to tell us what to believe. We do not want to live in society where the state's favored religion can be changed by the whims of the ballot box. Let us be thankful we live in a country where we are free to worship - or abstain from it - in any manner we choose.

Ok for the last time, the name of the page is King County Company (WSM). I keep forgetting the name of it and therefore I think people have a hard time finding it
Nevermind, I just fixed it. It wasnt published before.
are you sure? It's there...unless your current living place is outside of washington state
I searched Facebook and can't find anything under the heading of King County Company
going to be out of commision for awhile. am keeping track of things in case a window opens up for travel. here's on for the video file...
I just wanted to notify everyone that I made a facebook page for the King County Company and it is up and running. I would greatly appreciate people joining it (if they have facebook of course) and getting other's involved with making FB pages for respective County Militias as well. Lots of young people my age (19+) are on FB so a good way to get more members and get the young educated is through these social networking sites like FB. I also made a email account just for king county and would appreciate if people would spread it around. It's firstname.lastname@example.com.
Thanks again,
The Patriot
Sounds like a plan, see everyone there.

Le Montclair Hostel
Kategori: Vandrerhjem
Adresse: 62 Rue Ramey - Paris, Frankrike
Starting from: 29.73 EUR
(indicative price per person, per night)
About the property
Le Montclair is a Hostel in Paris, in the eighteenth arrondissement, boasting an excellent quality/price ratio. It is located just behind the famous Butte de Montmartre, a few blocks from the 'Sacré-Coeur' church. You can stay in one of the most typical districts of Paris, the scene of legendary meetings between arty figures such as Picasso, Appolinaire, Modigliani, etc.
Le Montclair Hostel has both private rooms (double, twin, quadruple or sextuple, some with private bathroom, others with shared facilities at the floor) and dormitories (there are dorms ranging from a minimum of 3 to a maximum of 10 beds). All rooms are clean and furnished in a simple, modern style.
Services and activities
Le Montclair Hostel guests can relax in the new lobby, ideal for a chat with other backpackers, to play games, to read a book or just to plan what to do in Paris (for this also the staff at the reception, available 24 hours 24, can help you).
The hostel offers a luggage storage, free internet and a shared kitchen, available for free from 1pm to 10pm(remember that eating out in Paris can be expensive!).
Hostel Le Montclair is located in the heart of Paris in a neighborhood full of great shops, bars and restaurants (many of them are in the nearby Rue des Abbesses). The Montmartre area is close at hand, as well as the Clignancourt flea market and the interesting museum dedicated to the Naïve art. And thanks to the 3 nearby metro stations (Jules Joffrin Marcadet-Poissoniers and Simplon) you can reach any point of Paris in a few minutes. Many bakeries, dairies and supermarkets are nearby.
Why should you stay with us
Le Montclair Hostel is one of those places to stay in Paris that are appreciated for the climate that reigns in the public areas, but also for the kindness and helpfulness of the staff, always ready to give some advice on what to do and what to see in the city (including some interesting tours, bookable at reception). Also remarkable the strategic location of the hostel, in a nice neighborhood of Paris and with so many ways to move around (various subway lines and bus).
