Two incidents raise questions about Bills' ejection practices
They are two Western New York mothers, one thankful that her son lived.
The other wasn't so lucky.
Each of their sons, in their 20s, went to a Buffalo Bills game this season. Both got kicked out.
One was so intoxicated that after being arrested and released at the Bills home opener Sept. 16, he tried to walk home from Ralph Wilson Stadium to Cheektowaga. He went the wrong way, and it took his brother an hour to find him wandering – but safe – along Southwestern Boulevard.
The other, David Gerken Jr., never made it to his Rochester-area home, after being ejected from the Bills-Dolphins night game Nov. 15. His body was found in a nearby creek the next morning.
His death remains a mystery, but both incidents raise questions about how security officers and the Bills deal with unruly or drunken fans who are kicked out of their games.
"What do they do when they eject a person from the game?" Gerken's mother, Marion, asked Monday. "Do they just point to the exit and say, 'Get out'?
"If somebody's being ejected from the game, who has the responsibility to go to your party and tell them, 'Your friend has been ejected'?"
The other mother, who asked that her name not be used, put it another way.
"Why can't the Bills stadium just be responsible and help these people that are drunk and coming to the game, supporting their team, to get home safely?" she asked.
After her son's incident in September, she considered calling the Bills to complain about their procedures, but she was talked out of it. She felt guilty after learning of Gerken's death.
"This could have been my son," she said.
Law-enforcement officials, security officers and the Bills have three ways of dealing with unruly – often drunken – fans. Some are turned away at the entrance gate, others are arrested on criminal charges, and others are ejected. At the Miami game, for example, security officers and police arrested 17 people, turned five away at the entrance gate and ejected 94.
Those arrested are kept in a holding tank inside the stadium, but many of them later are released. Those ejected and turned away are sent away from the stadium, although support personnel sometimes try to help them by offering a free taxicab ride, notifying other members of their party or, in extreme cases, providing immediate medical help.
The Bills replied, in a statement, that fans may be ejected for violating the Fan Code of Conduct, for offenses that include fighting, being intoxicated, disorderly conduct and other violations.
"The individual is then escorted out of the stadium, unless it is determined by security personnel that the individual poses a danger to himself/herself," the team's statement continued. "Security personnel then may attempt to contact family or friends of the individual or seek medical assistance at the Emergency Medical Services (EMS) location at the stadium. Depending upon the circumstances, the Designated Drivers Program of Buffalo or the Safe Way Home program may be utilized. Naturally, the range of options varies depending on the level of cooperation of the individual."
It's not yet known whether alcohol played a role in how Gerken, a Dolphins fan from Palmyra, died. Authorities still are investigating how the healthy 26-year-old ended up drowning and possibly also freezing to death in a shallow stream. They still are trying to find witnesses and are awaiting results of blood-alcohol and toxicology tests.
By contrast, there's no question that alcohol played a role in the 23-year-old Cheektowaga man's tough day.
After drinking heavily while tailgating, he was turned away at the gate because of his inebriation, his mother said. A little later, he tried sneaking in through another entrance, a bad judgment call the mother blames on his intoxication. That got him arrested and taken to the stadium's holding tank in handcuffs.
At the end of the game, security let him leave, but he was still so drunk that he tried to walk home to Cheektowaga – and headed out in the opposite direction from home.
"He could have walked in front of a car on Southwestern Boulevard," said the mother, who wouldn't give her name because her son is so embarrassed about what happened.
She knows her son bears responsibility for getting drunk.
However, she believes the Bills should never have let him leave the stadium alone in his condition.
By allowing tailgating, she said, "They are promoting the drinking. They let people drink on their property."
The Bills, like other NFL teams, have been struggling to find the right balance between allowing fans to enjoy themselves and keeping order at the games.
With Bills fans often ranking among the worst behaved in the country, team officials have tried a number of initiatives to clamp down on rowdiness and other drunken behavior while still allowing fans to drink alcohol and tailgate.
They've encouraged fans to become designated drivers and they run a campaign called "Make Mom Proud," urging fans to think about what their mother would say about their behavior. They've also started keeping track of banned fans.
This all comes on top of a heavy security presence, both inside and outside the stadium.
The Bills and Liberty/Yellow Cab also team up to offer the Safe Way Home program, which offers free cab rides to stranded fans who need a way home, within the local area. Liberty/Yellow Cab President Bill Yuhnke said the number of fans using that service usually doesn't exceed 10 per game.
"To my knowledge, they're the only NFL team that offers this kind of service," he added.
League officials also say the Bills have been very responsive to recommendations about improving their efforts under the NFL Fan Behavior Initiative.
Halfway through this season, the number of ejections across the league has increased about 7 percent over last year, although at least half the increase involves the ejection of smokers in Oakland, said Jeffrey Miller, NFL vice president and chief security officer.
"I believe clubs and security personnel are ejecting more people than they were before for egregious behavior that may have been tolerated in the past," Miller said.
How about the Bills?
"The Bills actually have less of a tolerance for some of the egregious behavior than other teams," Miller said.
Starting this season, ejected fans are blocked from returning or buying tickets until they complete a four-hour $65 online course. Between 250 and 300 fans across the country have successfully completed that course, Miller said.
The question still remains unanswered: What responsibility do authorities have when they arrest or eject a rowdy fan?
One law-enforcement official involved in Bills game-day security framed the issue that lingers over the Gerken incident.
"We're assuming that the Bills have some sense of responsibility, either morally or legally, and we don't even know whether he was intoxicated," this official said. "How does that fall back on the Buffalo Bills?"

Chair Hicks will call the meeting to order.
Chair Hicks will ask for approval of the minutes from the May 24 meeting.
Proposed Action -- Approval -- Motion and second required.
The Office of Graduate Studies and the University's Graduate Council propose a name change for the Office. Upon approval of their recommendation the Office of Graduate Studies would become the Graduate School of the University of North Florida. This proposal recognizes the growth in responsibility assumed by this office and is consistent with the nomenclature used on other SUS campuses. The proposal has been vetted through and is supported by the graduate faculty, the academic deans, and the university administration.No new positions or additional financial support is required for this change in name.
Proposed Action -- Approval -- Motion and second required.
In accordance with a request from the Board of Governors, degree projections through 2012-2013 are attached. These projections are being presented to the Educational Policy Committee for review and approval. Upon the committee's approval, the projections will be sent to the BOG by the October 1, 2005 deadline.
Proposed Action -- Report -- No motion required.
Attached is a recommended policy on tuition waivers. This policy has been vetted by the Associate Vice Presidents, the University's constituent groups, the academic deans, and the Executive Staff. It is being presented to the Educational Policy Committee for review and recommendation to the full Board, in compliance with the BOG's policy.
In accordance with Board discussions, proposed revised bylaws are being presented to the committee for review and recommendation to the full Board. Proposed changes to the bylaws include: a) an updated description of the Chair's duties; b) elimination of references to an annual meeting; c) a shift in the timing of the election of officers from July to January; and d) a statement about the composition of the Finance and Audit Committee membership consistent with recommendations of the Board's Finance and Audit Committee. The revised bylaws are attached.
In the continued effort to keep trustees apprised of current metrics and trends within the University, Associate Vice President Kaye will present a progress brief on current fall enrollments and the composition of this year's first-time-in-college students.
In light of recent discussions at previous committee meetings and in an effort to keep the Educational Policy Committee apprised, Academic Affairs is providing a report on recent administrative and faculty hires for review by the committee.
In light of recent discussions at previous committee meetings and in an effort to keep the Educational Policy Committee apprised, university administration is providing a report on ongoing administrative searches for review by the committee.
Each year, the U.S. News and World Report puts out a ranking of colleges and universities. Reputations of universities are frequently reported based on these rankings. Often, students selecting schools that best fit their needs will also turn to these rankings. While there has been criticism of how these rankings are developed and used, most institutions will race to the U.S. News and World Report website when the rankings first come out to see how they have done that year. Many institutions will also examine these rankings to determine how they can improve their results for the next year. Whether this is, in fact, the best barometer that UNF can use in judging its own success is certainly open to question, but the fact that there are numbers of people who pay attention to the yearly results is not. Thus, the University felt it was important that the Education Planning Committee be informed about the most recent rankings.
Proposed Action -- Report -- No motion required.
Chair Hicks will adjourn the meeting.

How do you score? Because a 2 & a 3 (imo) equals an overall of 2.5. How does this equal 6?
I'm not slamming your score just trying to figure out the process behind it.
by Garofani Spruzzo » Mon Oct 11, 2010 6:12 pm
He adds the 2+3 to get 6.

How dare you try and correct his mathematical short comings. He's from the south of course he can't count.
by 48THRiLLS » Mon Oct 11, 2010 6:56 pmULTIMATE THOR #1
I like Hickman. I like Pacheco, I like Thor. I should like this... but I did not. This was a jumbled mess, the 3 time lines were all over the place. The "now" time line I was lost on... I didn't read anything that led up to this so I don't know why Thor is in a hospital and who the people examining him were (except Blake). The "Germany 1939" time line I just didn't care about. Nazi's seem played out to me, aren't they already Cap's main thing? The "eons ago" time line seemed like standard Thor origin stuff (which I am fine with). I am sure all 3 of these time lines will tie in together and make sense eventually but I don't care enough about them to find out. I was really quite interested to see what the Ultimate version of Thor's origin would be like and see what Hickman does differently than his 616 origin but I guess I won't find out... good thing I don't care about the Ultimate U anyway.
...Oh yeah, the book was pretty and that was one of the few redeeming qualities.
by thefourthman » Mon Oct 11, 2010 7:19 pm
I screwed up, it should have been a five. but yeah, I decided a long time ago that since the damn things are really arbitrary to begin with, coming up with two five star scores and adding them to create the ten star score saved me time effort and worry.
by malcolm reynolds » Mon Oct 11, 2010 8:22 pmUltimate comics Thor #1 (of 4)
Two complaints that I've heard a lot about this issue before I even read it was the dilution of the Ultimate universe and the fact that with this issue we see yet another Thor book on the stands in time for the Movie soon to come out. To be honest these two things stopped me from pre-ordering this title when I had the chance.
Ultimate Thor has been a varying character from his initial appearance in the first Ultimate's series. Until recently the general consensus was that Thor was delusional and wasn't the Thor that he thought he was. In this issue we see the history of Thor and Asgard in the Ultimate universe. A history where the warriors three are the three sons of Odin, and a history that draws from its 616 counterpart where Loki, Baldar and Thor are sons of Odin.
One thing I've recently realized with my tastes in comics is that when there are Nazi's involved there is usually good comics to be had. Their over the top tactics and their willingness to stop at nothing creates a perfect platform for which to tell any story. In this first issue we find out that the Nazi's are going to take on Asgard, but they're not going to do it alone, they've brought in the Asgardians own enemies as back-up; the Frost Giants. Unlike many of his other works Hickman is limited to just four issues to tell his story, which seems to have reigned in his usual big ideas and allowed for a more solid and focused story.
The art was a little bit of a letdown, in recent months I've taken more notice with the art work in the books I read, and this was far from Pacheo's best work, that being said any of his work is steps above a lot of other artists out there. The fight scenes however felt well put together and my only real complaint with the art by the end was the facial expressions. They seemed off and rushed.
Marvel has been pumping out a multitude of Thor books as well as mini series', which is continually making it harder and harder to pick and chose not only which books are going to be good, but which one's you ultimately want to pick up. With that in mind I'll word it this way; Ultimate comics Thor #1 was the second best Thor book I read this month. Hickman gets his name thrown around a lot for both good and bad reasons, but he is showing time and time again that anything that he writes is worth checking out.
Story 7
Art 6
Overall 6.5
by Punchy » Tue Oct 12, 2010 10:21 amIs the Ultimate line really diluted? Currently there are only 2 ongoings (Spider-Man and X, which is very delayed) and 4 minis (Mystery, Avengers 3, New Ultimates and now Thor), they only seem to launch a new mini when an old one finishes too (like the upcoming Captain America)
by guitarsmashley » Tue Oct 12, 2010 10:54 am
The line itself maybe streamlined but through all the crap they've put the universe through and the awful story lines it's definitely become diluted.
by guitarsmashley » Tue Oct 12, 2010 11:22 amThis was an ok issue. I miss the good Carlos Pacheco. This is missing his finesse and just shows off his monkey do, monkey work style. It's ok but it just looks like cheap brian hitch. The writing was pretty standard, nothing extraordinary nothing awful. I didn't find the book a jumbled disjointed mess that certain other posters did. Either way the book was pretty average.
by ****** » Tue Oct 12, 2010 11:36 am
I wish I had come up with that line.
by Punchy » Tue Oct 12, 2010 11:53 am
I think it's recovered from Ultimatum pretty well, even Loeb's stuff is good. What diluted it was letting lesser talents like those Heroes guys write Ultimate X-Men and Ultimate Fantastic Four.
by BlueStreak » Tue Oct 12, 2010 11:54 am
This, especially with the multiple Iron Men, Captain Americas, Wasps, Black Widows, Thors, Hulks and everything else that's running around in the Ultimate Universe. Nothing feels of consequence anymore.
by Punchy » Tue Oct 12, 2010 11:56 am
Often the reason for the multiples is that the originals are dead, how is that not consequences?
by Garofani Spruzzo » Tue Oct 12, 2010 11:56 amThe main books in the UU do still seem to sell well, I just don't understand why when I read them.

GETTYSBURG, PA - Johns Hopkins senior quarterback Hewitt Tomlin threw for 501 yards and seven touchdowns - both school records - and the visiting Blue Jays rolled up a program-record 731 yards of total offense in an 83-21 win over host Gettysburg Saturday afternoon. Hopkins (7-0, 6-0 Centennial Conference) scored on six of its first seven possessions, built a 42-7 halftime lead and never looked back in winning its school-record 12th consecutive game.
The 83 points are the most in Centennial Conference history and the second-most in Johns Hopkins history. JHU's 7-0 start matches the best in program history. This is the fourth time JHU has started 7-0 (1892, 2003, 2005).
In a matchup of two teams that controlled their own destiny in the race for the Centennial Conference title, the 18th-ranked Blue Jays sprinted out to a 21-0 lead at the end of the first quarter and the Bullet defense never consistently slowed down Tomlin or the Blue Jay offense in allowing the most points in school history.
A five-yard strike from Tomlin to senior Tyler Porco opened the scoring midway through the first quarter and rushing touchdowns by juniors Jonathan Rigaud (6 yards) and Scott Barletta(28 yards) in the final four minutes of the opening quarter extended the lead to 21-0 with Barletta's touchdown coming on the final play of the opening period.
The Bullets (4-3, 4-2 CC) got on the board early in the second quarter when Aden Twer hauled in a 47-yard touchdown pass from Kody Smith to cap a quick three-play, 68-yard drive, but the Blue Jays scored on their next three possessions - with each drive covering more than 60 yards - to push the margin out to 42-7 at the half.
Tomlin found senior Sam Wernick down the middle from five yards out just over three minutes after Twer's touchdown to make it 28-7 and he added scoring passes of 17 and 16 yards to junior Scott Cremens in the final eight minutes of the first half to account for the 42-7 halftime score.
Gettysburg's defense, which spent more than 20 minutes on the field in the first half, stiffened early in the third quarter as the Bullets came up with a fumble recovery on JHU's first possession of the second half and forced a punt on the second. Gettysburg's Ted Delia returned that punt 91 yards for a touchdown to make it 42-14, but the quick-strike Blue Jays got a long kickoff return from Rigaud and needed just three plays to go 43 yards to push the lead to 49-14 on a 29-yard touchdown pass from Tomlin to Wernick, who took a short hitch in the middle of the field and raced untouched into the end zone.
Tomlin capped his day with two more touchdown passes - a 30-yarder to Cremens and a 24-yarder to sophomore Dan Wodicka on a perfectly executed backside screen - before leaving the game after the first play of the fourth quarter.
Hopkins closed its record-setting day with three more scores in the final 12 minutes. Freshman Matt Berry and sophomore J.D. Abbott both scored on short runs and freshman Matthew Connery capped the scoring with a 37-yard fumble return for a touchdown with just under five minutes remaining.
Gettyburg's final score came after Berry's touchdown early in the final period when John Pesce hauled in an 18-yard pass from Smith that made it 69-21 with just over 10 minutes left. Abbott and Connery's touchdowns came in a 30-second span a short time later.
Tomlin set school records for passing yards, touchdown passes, completions (39) and total offense (505). His 52 attempts were one shy of the JHU single-game mark.
Wodicka and Wernick combined for 28 receptions for 365 yards and three scores. Wodicka tied the JHU single-game record for receptions (15) and his 217 receiving yards are a career-high and the fourth-highest single-game total in school history. Cremens' three TD receptions are a career-high as he totaled six receptions for 92 yards. Wodicka is the first player in school history to have back-to-back 200-yard receiving games.
Not to be outdone, the Blue Jay defense held Gettysburg to half of its season scoring average (42.2 entering the game) and nearly 200 yards below its season average as the Bullets totaled 336 yards after entering the game averaging 525.
Junior Adam Schweyer totaled a team-high 12 tackles, including 1.5 sacks, while Taylor Maciow (8 tackles) and senior Kale Sweeney (6 tackles, 1.5 sacks) also fueled the Blue Jay defense, which totaled 10 tackles for losses, a season-high seven sacks and three fumble recoveries.
Twer, who entered as the Centennial's leading receiver, did his part for the Bullet offense as he had a career-high 11 receptions for 132 yards and the one score. Smith and senior Kyle Whitmoyer were under heavy pressure throughout and combined to threw for 257 yards and two scores, but a ground game that was averaging 253 yards per game totaled just 77 and the early deficit was more than Gettysburg could overcome.
The win sets up a showdown with Centennial Conference rival Ursinus next Saturday at Homewood Field. The Bears are 5-2 overall and 5-1 in the Centennial after knocking off Susquehanna, 49-19, earlier today.

4 Fairy House Kits: Indoor Winter Activity
When it's about -30 degrees outside, and kids still ask to make woodland fairy houses while you are trying to make dinner, a ready-made kit sound great to me!
We were lucky last summer to be able to make a whole fairy village in the country. Now that we're in the city and in the middle of a really cold week where we are actually told not to keep kids out more than 10 minutes at a time, all our outdoor snow options are out of the picture. Yet the kids still want to go out to make more fairy lodgings, fearing they might be freezing. Here's where making the houses inside and quickly dropping it on the balcony or in the yard comes in handy.
Etsy was a great source to find such kits:
• Pied Piper Crafts has a rather big fairy house kit, very complete, with structure and wall coverings.
• Mary Fontones offers a mini fancy fairy house.
• Fairy Garden Depot provides a ready made cardboard house that can be decorated with included gems, pebbles and moss.
• Fairy House's kit includes a wooden base and everything to build up from it including a pewter fairy.

I like Dishonored, but all of those words and happenings in the narrative are just a bit too much for my attention span.
Well, publisher Bethesda has the cure to that which ails me with its upcoming downloadable content for the first-person stealth action game. Dishonored: Dunwall City Trials strips the game down to a series of 10 challenge maps where the plot doesn't matter. The DLC debuts Tuesday for $4.99 on PlayStation 3 and PC and for 400 Microsoft Points on Xbox 360.
As the gameplay trailer demonstrates, players must combine their character's weapons, gizmos, and special powers to eliminate targets. It compares players against one another on leaderboards that measure point totals. It's actually quite similar to this year's breakout Xbox Live Arcade title, Mark of the Ninja.
Dishonored is one of the year's few big-budget games to introduce a new intellectual property. The designers at developer Arkane Studios set the action in the fictional city of Dunwall that they modeled after late 19th century London. It stars hero Corvo Attano as he attempts to unravel the mystery surrounding the death of the Empress that he serves.
Of course, Dishonored is really all about sneaking around and stabbing, like, everybody.

union. Mime, brother to Alberich, has raised Siegfried ever since he lost his
mother at birth, and plans to use the boy to liberate the Nibelung hoard,
including the all-powerful ring. A mysterious Wanderer (Wotan in disguise)
visits Mime and, after a game of riddles, hints that Siegfried is indeed
destined for greatness but also will be Mime's doom. Swords are re-forged,
dragons slain, treasures reclaimed, justice dispensed, a forest bird sings, and
the power of the gods continues to dwindle as the hero's quest culminates in
the discovery and rapturous rescue of Brünnhilde on her rocky ledge.

Antiquing with Baba Booey: Stern sidekick gets new VH1 Classic show
GREENWICH -- Gary Dell'Abate lives in a time capsule.
It's a cross between the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Cooperstown, only with two beer taps.
There's an autographed check -- isn't that a redundancy -- from Ralph Kiner, the New York Mets legend and fellow Greenwich resident.
Seats from Shea Stadium. Infield dirt from Yankee Stadium -- the old one.
A Victrola.
And then there is a Rock-Ola Comet 120 jukebox, which the Howard Stern sidekick nicknamed "Baba Booey" bought off a man in Danbury for $2,100.
It didn't come with nickels, dimes or quarters. Doesn't matter, as Dell'Abate demonstrates how to rig it for free songs, the first being "Na Na Hey Hey Kiss Him Goodbye," followed by the Beatles "Help!"
"Believe it or not, I got it off Craigslist," Dell'Abate said. "That was one of the things I wanted my entire life."
Dell'Abate, 51, is putting his obsession for collecting vinyl records, autographed baseballs, cartoon cells and photos, which fill every nook and cranny of his home, to use in a new television series on VH1 Classic.
"For What It's Worth" will make its debut at 10 p.m. Thursday, with Dell'Abate co-hosting the half-hour show with fellow Stern disciple Jon Hein, himself an avid collector of pop culture memorabilia.
The show is VH1 Classic's answer to "Antiques Roadshow," the popular PBS series in which appraisers travel the country and help collectors determine the value of their antiques.
"The whole point is we're collectors and hoarders," Dell'Abate said.
Dell'Abate, who is married with two sons and serves on the town parks board, taped six episodes of the show last summer while he was on vacation from Stern. He spent part of each show traveling around the country with Hein in search of one-of-a-kind collections of music or pop culture history.
The duo went to a Pittsburgh warehouse to meet with a man who owns 3.75 million records. They visited an arcade game collection in Harrisburg and interviewed White Stripes co-founder Jack White at his Nashville record production facility.
Their tour also took them to a private collector in New Jersey who owns Barbara Eden's genie outfit from "I Dream of Jeannie," Archie Bunker's hat from "All in the Family," and the Fonz's leather jacket from "Happy Days."
"I hope to do a second season," Dell'Abate said. "I hope to get even more of the lunatic collectors coming out of the woodwork."
Much like "Antiques Roadshow," Dell'Abate and Hein spent part of each episode at a Brooklyn, N.Y., warehouse sizing up the memorabilia of collectors, aided by a panel of experts.
Among them is John Reznikoff, of University Archives in Westport, a pre-eminent collector and appraiser of artifacts.
"You know, I've done a lot of shows that are, for lack of a better word, the `Antique Roadshows,' but there's something about him and Jon that makes it better than a lot of these shows," Reznikoff said of Dell'Abate. "These guys are professional comedians. Not only are they professional comedians, but they're both very knowledgeable in the world of professional memorabilia."
Dell'Abate and Hein visited Reznikoff's office in Westport during one of the episodes.
"He has an enormous collection of celebrity hair," Dell'Abate said.
Reznikoff's hair-brained obsession includes locks belonging to Abraham Lincoln, Mozart, Beethoven, Paul McCartney, Elvis and Michael Jackson from when the pop star's hair caught on fire filming a Pepsi commercial in 1984.
"When he opens it up, it still smells of burnt hair," Dell'Abate said.
Dell'Abate is more into vinyl than follicles, however.
"I wouldn't know what to do with it," he said.
Reznikoff expects the show will catch on with viewers.
"He's got a good eye," he said of Dell'Abate.
Dell'Abate estimates that he owns 3,000 albums, 3,000 CDs and 500 45 Rpm records. One of the oddball ones is a record shaped like the continent of Africa for the Toto song by the same name.
He owns baseballs autographed by Mickey Mantle, Stan Musial and Pete Rose, to name a few.
There's a set of stamps commemorating the centennial of baseball in 1939 signed by Joe DiMaggio.
In a clear plastic case, Dell'Abate keeps a football with Joe Namath's autograph on one side and Steve Young's on the other.
Behind the bar in Dell'Abate's "man cave" -- think of it as an adult funhouse -- is an autograph of O.J. Simpson.
"I don't discriminate," Dell'Abate said. "I'll put anybody's stupid autograph up."
In his living room, Dell'Abate keeps an antique Philco wooden radio that still works.
"It's weird when WFAN is coming out of it, but it's fun when it's a big band station," he said, referring to the sports talk station.
One of Dell'Abate's most prized possessions is a cartoon cell presented to him by William Hanna and Joseph Barbera from their series, "Quick Draw McGraw," depicting the main character and a Mexican burro named Baba Looey, which Dell'Abate once misidentified on Stern's show as Baba Booey, a moniker that stuck with the shock jock's sidekick ever since.
Barbera and Hanna gave Baba Booey his due.
"They drew me into the cell," he said.

Drops Eskimo - Peacock Blue (84) - 50g - Product Description
Drops Eskimo is a thick, easy to use single stranded yarn that results in warm and comfortable garments, and is ideal for felting. Drops Eskimo is a lovely, soft, round and fluffy yarn spun from 100% pure wool. The wool fibre is untreated, which means it is not exposed to any chemical treatment prior to being dyed. This highlights the fibre's natural properties, while also providing better shape and texture quality. Made in the EU, Eskimo has Oeko-Tex certification.
The Drops Eskimo range is simply colossal, with over 70 different shades in total. Some shades of Eskimo are mixed colours, which means the wool is manufactured by carding the colours together before spinning. There are printed colours, which means the yarn has various colours that regularly repeat in random lengths, and there are also tweed colours,which have tweed effects spun into the yarn, that add both random colours and texture, and make the yarn vary a little in thickness.
As one of the largest stockists of Drops yarn in the UK, we stock every single colour and shade of Eskimo yarn that Drops produce. The chances are that if there's a shade of Drops Alaska that we don't have, it is because Drops have stopped making it! Supplied in 50g balls, Drops Eskimo knits to a gauge of 10 stitches over 14 rows on 9mm needles, and there are approximately 50m / 55yds in every 50g ball.
Drops offer thousands of free patterns, covering their entire range of yarns, all of which are available to download and print out for free from the Garnstudio website - Garnstudio are the manufacturers of Drops yarn. We also stock the range of Drops Magazines, which contain between 20 and 50 patterns in each, and are priced at just £1 per magazine. Most people find that buying the magazines is cheaper than the ink and paper needed to print them out from the Drops website!
You can find details of all the free patterns made specifically in Drops Eskimo yarn by visiting the Drops Eskimo pattern section of the Garnstudio website.

Your new space looks great! I love it when I see people getting sweet sewing spaces. I'm dreaming of one but until I move I have to live vicariously through my blogging peeps. Happy sewing!ReplyDelete
I have a small table next to the big one in the dining room...this is quite useful as I do the cutting out and any laying out while sewing on the big table next to me. I have grown up kids so a lot of the time there is just me in the house so it's fine not having a room. You are well set up for quilting.ReplyDelete
Jealous!! That looks like an ideal set up.ReplyDelete
I think you need to put a little name plate on the front of your sewing desk (totally not practical, but fits with the cubicle :) Looks great!!ReplyDelete
Nice! I love my table that is sitting out in the middle of the room... "they" say that for quilting the table should be against a wall so that it does not fall and pull but I find it cramped and I have mine facing open space too.
One thing I do to stop the fall off / pulling is put the ironing board on the back of the table to help support. For something big I move my cutting table over to help.
I dont know if this is an option for you but I hang all of my rulers on the wall my size and shape. I have sturdy screws with squares, rectangles and "other". I dont have enough right now to have more separations like large squares versus small squares. But it is easy to access and out of the way.ReplyDelete
I'm always more productive in an organized space. :)
Last year we knew we had to sell our house (which we are still trying to do...) to move cross country, and a week before it was listed I asked my husband to repaint my sewing room. It was so ugly and boring, I needed something pretty (we had just moved in when we found out that we were moving across the country, so I hadn't decorated the room at all yet!). Good thing, too, since it's been almost a year and I'm still living here!
For my rulers, I used to stack them on the one side of my cutting table, but that wasn't the best technique. I like to hang them on nails (use long nails and you can hang 3 or 4 together), and I also have one of those wooden racks to stand them up in. I think I prefer the nails, but I didn't want to put the holes in the wall this time.
Love your new cube ;) Is that a coin quilt I spy on the design wall??ReplyDelete
Wow, that's nice...was that specifically a sewing table? I think it'd be dangerous to have my computer close to my sewing machine...I don't know if I'd get anything done. =)
I'm wondering...could you make some sort of hanging something to attach to the end of the desk for your rulers? Just a thought.
Oh, wow, that looks like a FABULOUS set-up! I love it!ReplyDelete
Fabulous set-up!
I have a ruler holder perched on a ledge of our bookshelf - it's a flat piece of wood with slots to hold the rulers straight up. Love it.
Mary's comment about the name plate for your cubicle cracked me up.
Your sewing arrangement looks awesome!
Don't you just love your new space. I am looking forward to tomorrows posting.....ReplyDelete
Your rearranged sewing room looks great. I like how you now have ready access to the computer!ReplyDelete
Thank you for leaving a comment for me! I appreciate each and every one of them and try to respond when time allows. Your comments totally brighten my day :)

Now, speaking of Dark Horse, I sure hope they speed up on 3x3 eyes. I remember reading the first slim volume thingy in 1997, now it's 2003 and they're only at volume 7? So at this rate they'll be done in...ummm...my math is bad. Let's say 30 years, 2033. Oh deary deary me.

I suppose you measured the Lum book as well. I think you're seriously underestimating what an inch looks like. Trigun Vol.1 is most certainly larger than an inch (at 360 pages, whereas the Lum Perfect Collection is 400). How many other US, translated mangas are 350+ pages? And those paper stock specks are for unprinted virgin stock. Slight thickness is gained when printing is added if I'm not mistaken.
You know, this IS really stupid and trivial, but it's pissing me off that a 360 page book is "no big deal". The frelling book is most certainly more than an inch in width, and most certainly more than two frelling cm. The first thing I am doing tonoight is measuring the damn thing, and posting the width. Maybe the thing IS only 1.25 inches, but compared to most other manga I've purchased (that weigh in between 180 and 260 pages), it's pretty thick. My guess of two inches is probably wrong, but it's bigger than an inch for sure.

Well personally page count to me means more than book thickness...I just naturally assume that the paper will be decent quality. So I find it much more meaningful to hear "360 pages" than "1 inch."
But once I hear things like "2 inches" that just sounds like hyperbole. I mean, I've got a new hardback book here, Paladin of Souls by Lois McMaster Bujold, nice paper, 470 pages (including the unnumbered pages at the beginning), and the paper part of the book (not counting the hardback cover) is 1 and one 16th of an inch thick.

This has to be the most pedantic arguement I've read in a while! Are you guys trying to outdo the Naruto forum?
I think everyone here should be intelligent enough to understand that the original comment's meaning was to express the excellent value that the large volume represented, and wasn't meant to be taken as an exact measurement.
Oh well I guess the measurements will end this bickering.
Referring to Dorfl's comment made in this thread about 3x3 Eyes and its rate of release. I'm guessing that this slow release is the trade off that is made for having Studio Proteus do the translation job. It seems that most of the Super Manga Blast titles suffer from this slow release speed (including Narutaru) due to the fact that they are being released chapter by chapter on a monthly basis and only then collected into TPB format.
Just remember, 3x3 Eyes translation and release was completely halted prior to its inclusion in SMB due to low sales figures. As the storyline only starts to pick up at around Volume 12 of the Japanese version (and excels from here onwards) I would rather it was translated slowly than not at all! (Bring Guyver back Viz! - 21 Volumes and counting.......)

Yes, value was the original point. For example:
Chobits Vol.8 = 128 pages @ $9.99
Trigun Vol.1 = 360 pages @ $14.99
Nausicaa Vol.1 PC = 138 pages @ $17.95
(Of course Nausicaa is my favorite manga of all, so I didn't mind the price.)
I just remember picking up Trigun at the shop and thinking, dang that's thick for the price. From what I understand Dark Horse has combined the first two Japanese volumes into a single volume for American release: That's about 180 pages for each original volume.
I'm done splitting hairs on thickness, but I'm illogical enough that I'm still going to post Vol.1's measurement.
Studio Proteus is about the only translation company that mirrors manga in the process of translation anymore. This has to slow the process a bit. Plus they seem to have a lot of titles under their belt.
I have all of the Guyver serialized comics from viz, from the beginning till they put the title on hold to concentrate on Pokemon and other money makers (my guess). I miss that series, but I really wish they'd continue translating the Patlabor manga. Two graphic novels of that and it stopped cold.
And who could forget Marvel's five year (at least it seemed that long) delay in releasing the (dialogue edited, fully colored) last book of Akira. My collection of that looks horrid. I have the first large volume in Hardcover (signed/limited edition). Then the smaller softcover collections Vol.4-Vol.10, followed by the idividual issues from 28 (or so) until the end. I should sell the whole lot and just get the Dark Horse edition.

Forgive me for being a stubborn arse and splitting hairs in my posts above.
Trigun Vol.1 measures 1 1/16" in thickness
Lum Prefect Collection 1 1/4" thick
I'm so used to thinner volumes of manga that my mind blew the book out of proportion. I still feel that it's an excellent value.
Torren Smith has said before at studioproteus.com that retouch is the biggest time consumer. All I remembered offhand was that SPs mirroring process was time consuming.
Justin, on a translational note:
Now that I've re-read Trigun Vol.1 (and I don't know why I missed this the first time) I see that there are no side-bar translations of the sound effects. Was this an intentional decision or an oversight?

Hmm...well I know Tim Ervin-Gore, DH manga editor, pushes for in-panel translation near the original sfx, in a similar style. But I'm sure something like this isn't an oversight..."oh yeah, we forgot the sound effects!! DUH!" It'll probably remain this way for these titles though...
Anyway about retouch, whether you're mirroring or not, it's what takes longest. VIZ's Shonen Jump stuff isn't mirrored but it's heavily retouched for the sfx. A lot of TOKYOPOP's stuff isn't retouched at all, leaving white erasure marks where there was text on top of the picture--and consequently, their stuff is fast.

My contract is quite specific about the script not being public domain, but if you find any sound fx that were particularly puzzling or unclear, I see no harm in answering any "onesie-twosie" specific questions you might have.

SAS sergeant, Craig Mitchell, is coerced into joining the most covert of groups operating on behalf of the UK government. Teir mandate: to eliminate by whatever means those who pose the most violent threats to the country before they have the opportunity to strike at the British government and its people. The group's members, the most experienced and highly trained combatants operate as lone strike forces, each a rogue shadow in a dark threatening world, each blatantly authorised to straddle the legal line. Mitchell's first mission is to rescue an abducted government minister and deal with the perpetrators. But he is unaware that should any attempt be made to rescue the minister a bomb would be detonated in a highly populated area of the UK.
There were three of them. They had been watching him for the last twenty minutes and the signs were not good. He could tell from the body language; the lowered mutterings between them, the constant hooded glances in his direction. He raised the glass of lemon and lime to his lips and took a slow drink, his eyes flicking toward the bar, quickly assessing the situation before dropping back to the newspaper spread in front of him.
The headline followed a familiar theme; Afghanistan, two killed; a roadside bomb. He read the article from start to finish, but there was little need so familiar was he with the situation he could have written it himself. Maybe not, he thought, not quite. His was a different scenario. Death visited the SAS it was true, but frequently in the world of covert operations where men stalked forbidden areas; it was a death covered with a shroud of silence, such headlines suppressed.
His stomach turned a notch as the scene of only a few weeks before invaded his mind. It shouldn't have happened, of course; the advance bombing, the Intelligence report - area clear. But then they were trained, weren't they? Expect the unexpected and deal with it. And they had. That would be of little comfort to Robbo's family, though. Their only compensation would be they wouldn't have heard the sudden withering, incoming. Neither would they have to live forever with the vision of the human form being sliced in two.
It was the largest of the three that made the first move. Leaving the other two at the bar he approached the table, standing for some moments looking down, the derisory expression saying all.
"Army, right?"
He looked up, but said nothing. He knew whatever he said would be of little use.
"I said you're army, right?"
More silence, but with the belligerence emanating from the man standing over him he felt the change begin. Green already beginning its move toward amber.
"Cat got your tongue, has it?" the man sneered. "Or are you just frightened to admit what you are?" He looked back over his shoulder, toward the two grinning at the bar. "Don't need to speak, though, does he, lads? We know what he is, don't we?"
He looked back down, shoulders back, confidence growing.
"Well if you know what I am there's no need for me to speak is there?" The words were soft, tightly clipped. Amber overpowering green now.
"Well, well, it does speak. Bit quiet though. Maybe that's because it ain't got its gun, ain't got all its mates to help it out. Or maybe it's because it ain't just facing a bunch of unarmed civilians it can shoot and nobody gives a toss."
He was hanging in there, his breathing slow and deep, but amber was now firmly in control, tinges of red hovering in the wings. "I came in here to have a quiet drink and read the newspaper," he said softly, his voice only just under control. "Whatever I am is no concern of yours. I would really be obliged if you would go away and leave me in peace."
"Peace?" the man snorted. "Your lot don't know the meaning of the word. You go charging into other countries, especially those you know can't defend themselves, and carve them up. Arabs trying to live a peaceful life, never done any of you lot any harm, and you go in with your guns and knock seven bells out of 'em. Big brave boys, ain't you?"
His breathing was becoming less controlled now and he felt the tremors begin. He wished this would stop. It wasn't how things should be. The ignorant moron standing over him had no idea, couldn't imagine. He closed the newspaper, folding it neatly, taking his time, fighting for composure. Finally, standing, he eyeballed the man in front of him.
"You just don't know," he said.
"Don't know," the man spat. "I'll tell you what I do know. I know when you lot went into Iraq it was illegal. I know you invaded a country you all knew couldn't defend itself and was an easy target. And I know you killed thousands of innocent civilians. I know that."
He stood, his face only inches away from the spitting tirade confronting him, his whole body now bowstring taut, his insides in turmoil. Slowly the fear began to creep into him. Not a fear of the man opposite, but a fear of himself, a fear of knowing what could happen. He said nothing. There was nothing to say, nothing he could say. He needed to get away, to leave this place, but the man stood before him, blocking his escape and now red was moving in and fast.

|Designers and Manufacturers of Chem-Free Ozone Systems
for Marine, Domestic and Industrial Applications
Chem-Free Water Treatment Systems has been designing and building leading edge water treatment systems since its founding in 1993. We have ozone based water treatment systems for homes treating both cistern rainwater and well water. In addition to potable water treatment system on board many luxury yachts, both power and sail, there are fully automated and leading-edge technology Chem-Free water treatment systems ensuring the continued purity of potable water stored in large holding tanks on board Americas UNOLS research vessel fleet. R/V Knorr, R/V Oceanus and R/V Atlantis of the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution in Woods Hole, MA; R/V Roger Revelle and R/V Melville of Scripps Institution of Oceanography in San Diego, CA, and R/V Endeavor operated by the University of Rhode Island Graduate School Of Oceanography all have Chem-Free WQA systems on board. Our new Sea Chest Guardian system is keeping the sea chest free of bio-fouling by marine life on board R/V Alpha Helix operated by the University of Alaska Fairbanks, Seward Marine Center in Seward, Alaska. All of the aforementioned systems use ozone as the primary disinfectant or oxidizer.
Water treatment in its many forms; potable water treatment, fresh water treatment, cistern water treatment, point of entry water treatment or POE, point of use water treatment or POU, waste water treatment, rain water treatment, municipal water treatment, to name but a few, are all adaptable for the use of ozone at some point in the process be it primary, secondary, or tertiary.
|- - water quality is declining. Different water sectors face problems to keep the early water quality through conventional treatment/disinfection approaches. Meanwhile the water quality regulations are becoming more stringent, complex and costly. Last but not least, the concerns about the biotech pollution or terrorism challenge the capability of water disinfection as well. This includes physical and chemical processes such as the usage of - - ozonization, filtration and membrane processes with pathogen removal, and also thermal processes such as distillation, evaporation/condensation, and steam stripping, to name a few. - -
|In business since 1993 with thousands of
Chem-Free systems and devices in use
|According to a statement by the World Health Organization, WHO, waterborne diseases are collectively more lethal than AIDS, and the group urged a greater international effort to improve the water, hygiene and sanitation conditions of the world's poor. The report further stated; Already, an estimated 1.1 billion people have no access to safe drinking water, 2.5 billion lack proper sanitation and more than 5 million people die from waterborne diseases each year 10 times the number of casualties killed in wars around the globe. In an effort to help combat the ever-growing problem, Chem-Free Water Treatment Systems has developed village-level fresh water treatment systems that can provide even small villages with safe, pure water from a central treatment point from which the villagers may draw their daily water rather than from a polluted stream, river or lake.

Vegetarian Tigers
This perplexes me. Corporations are supposed to be greedy. That's what they're there for. The wealth of a nation is determined largely by how efficiently its people are organized to produce its goods: and that translates pretty directly into how successfully greedy its corporations are. It's no more wrong for a corporation to be greedy than it is wrong for a tiger to be carnivorous.
So I don't want to make corporations less greedy. I don't want to turn them into philanthropic organizations. They produce plenty of public benefit just by being themselves. And I don't want to tax their incomes, which puts American corporations at an international disadvantage. Tax their shareholders, by all means. Tax their ridiculously compensated CEO's. Tax their sales, if you must. But leave the tigers healthy to hunt.
But by the same token, it's silly to treat corporations as persons, and give them political rights. A corporation is no more capable of public spirit and selflessness than a tiger is capable of becoming vegetarian. The founders of the United States would have been horrified at the idea of a corporation having political rights. And so am I. It's not just common sense that's outraged by the idea of a corporation having god-given, inalienable rights. It's political sense. A corporation, given the power of political speech, will use it for the one thing it knows: maximizing profit. The same thing that makes a corporation a healthy economic creature makes it ineligible to be a political creature. A corporation doesn't, and shouldn't, understand the public good. It doesn't have children whose future it's anxious for. It doesn't care about rivers being polluted. It doesn't think some things belong only to God.
Corporations don't belong in the political arena for the same reason that tigers don't belong in sheepfolds. And it's not because they're greedy. It's right and proper that they're greedy. I wouldn't have them any other way. It's because they are not, never have been, and never will be persons. No matter what the Supreme Court says.

What clarity! Nice takedown of "corporate personhood."
- christopher said...
The original naming of corporations as persons was a legal construct that solved certain legal and judicial problems. It is no longer quite appropriate. Many people consider that unions as collectives which solved certain problems are now no longer appropriate. Perhaps it is time to drop outmoded constructs.
However, while I am in favor of changing the legal description of a corporation, I hesitate to diddle with the unions and abhor the mostly successful attempt in recent decades to gut them. I am only pointing out that honorable people differ in these matters.
- Dale said...
Certainly... did you think I was taking some sort of stand on unions, here? I didn't mean to be.
- christopher said...
No, you did not. It is that unions are the counterpart to corporations and both of these organizations engender the same type of philosophical objections.
I brought it up because I saw for the first time that not only are these organizations objected to in similar ways albeit from opposite ends of the spectrum, but that they arose to solve historical problems in a similar polarized fashion.
- Dale said...
I see. Yes, the "personhood" of unions was in some ways a response to the "personhood" of corporations, I guess.
I share your reluctance to mess with any defense that American workers have, at the moment, however frail.
- christopher said...
A most dangerous current attitude is to call unions obsolete due to a more "enlightened" consciousness in corporations. I have worked in paper mills, food handling factories and other heavy industry my whole working life and have seen first hand the willingness to screw the production worker. Corporations hate sharing profits with people in the areas of production and maintenance, or my field of engineering for that matter.
- marly youmans said...
You can also rant agains the "personality" of "brands," which I just encountered in an essay.

Research in Motion (NASDAQ:RIMM) raced 8% higher Thursday morning after Goldman Sachs (NYSE:GS) slapped a "buy" rating on the company amid mounting optimism ahead of the launch of the BlackBerry 10.
Continue Reading Below
In a research note to clients upgrading the stock from "neutral", Goldman predicted previously-struggling RIM will beat the Street's expectations over the next four quarters and return to profitability in fiscal 2014.
With that in mind, Goldman analyst Simona Jankowski placed a 12-month price target of $16 on RIM, up from $9 previously and representing an impressive 44% return from the company's close at $11.08 on Wednesday.
Goldman isn't banking on the highly-anticipated BlackBerry 10, due out on January 30, being a blockbuster device.
Instead, it sees just a 30% chance the new smartphone will succeed.
"Even if BB10 is ultimately not successful…we expect RIMM to outperform over the next 2-4 quarters, as we see upside to Street estimates from higher" application service provider revenue and inventory fill around the new product launch, Jankowski wrote.
Goldman predicted the BB10 will suffer a "lack of follow-through" on sales and subscriber adds "due to an inability to compete" with Google's (NASDAQ:GOOG) Android, Apple's (NASDAQ:AAPL) iPhone and now Microsoft's (NASDAQ:MSFT) Windows platform. RIM's market share is seen falling to about 3% exiting fiscal 2014 from 4.4% in August.
On the other hand, "If RIMM does succeed in establishing BB10 as a viable niche ecosystem and sees follow-through demand post the launch...then it could further strengthen the long-term investment case," Jankowski wrote.
The relatively optimistic Goldman note allowed RIM to continue its recent surge, which through Wednesday's close left its shares up 76% from its September low of $6.31
RIM soared 8.12% to $11.99 in recent action, but remains off 17% year-to-date and and 31% over the past 12 months. The stock has also lost about 90% of its value since its 2008 all-time high.

MPLS Traffic Engineering: Specifying the TE Tunnel Name
From DocWiki
To provide a name for a Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) Traffic Engineering (TE) point-to-point (P2P) or point-to-multipoint (P2MP) tunnel, use the tunnel mpls traffic-eng name command in tunnel interface configuration mode. To remove the name from the tunnel, use the no form of this command. This functionality is introduced in Cisco IOS Release 15.1(1)S.
When configuring the tunnel name, consider the following:
- By default, the TE tunnel name is either the interface description or is hostname_ttunnel id.
- The name of the tunnel is limited to 63 characters. Spaces are not permitted.
- If tunnel name is configured, it overrides the default names, which are either the tunnel interface description or hostname_ttunnel id. If the TE tunnel name configuration is removed, TE resignals the LSP using the next preferred tunnel name source (the interface description or the default host name and tunnel ID). This is completed in break-before-make fashion; therefore, traffic may be lost.
- The TE tunnel name must be unique. It cannot be the same name as the interface description or the hostname and tunnel id.
- The command is available for tunnels that are configured in TE P2P tunnel mode or TE P2MP tunnel mode.
- In releases previous to Cisco IOS 15.1(1)S, changing the interface description does NOT result in the LSP being resignaled. The introduction of the tunnel mpls traffic-eng name command requires that the tunnel state be flapped before the signaled name is updated.

Gabe Mann
|Assistant Coach - Javelin
|First Season
As last year's leading javelin thrower in the Big West, team MVP, two-time athlete of the week, and second best javelin thrower in school history, Gabe Mann is now contributing to the Gauchos as an assistant coach for John Dagata with the throws and jumps. Gabe, who was originally recruited by the UCSB baseball team, switched to track and field partway through his junior year to try his hand at throwing the spear. He immediately had a major impact in the event, boasting the top marks in the conference for both of his competition seasons. Twice he qualified for the West Regionals, and was ranked as high as 13th in the nation after having thrown the javelin for only 14 months. Gabe struggled with back injuries throughout his senior season, throwing his personal record and UCSB's second all-time mark of 222'02", off of a half approach during a preseason exhibition. Unfortunately, he was never able to push beyond that early mark, though he will continue to compete independently in the javelin throw. Gabe's specialty as a coach lies with the javelin throw, and he works closely with coach Bruce Kennedy with this year's strong javelin squad.

LOS ANGELES (MarketWatch) — Shares of Georgia Gulf Corp. fell Friday evening after an unsolicited-proposal the building products maker was withdrawn.
Georgia Gulf shares GGC, -1.02% fell $3.36, or 9.8%, to $30.90 after Westlake Chemical Corp. WLK, -2.06% said it has withdrawn its proposal to acquire Georgia Gulf and doesn't plan to continue pursuing a deal.
The decision follows acquisition talks with Georgia Gulf's management, said Westlake. Georgia Gulf has rejected previous bids from Westlake, with the most recent offer in February raised to $35 a share, or $1.2 billion.
Westlake also said Friday it plans to liquidate its holdings of Georgia Gulf common stock as market conditions permit. Westlake shares rose 1.2% to $57.37 in modest volume after hours.
"We are disappointed in this result, but we continue to work on our previously announced important strategic initiatives as well as to look for other opportunities to grow our business," said Westlake's Chief Executive Albert Chao in a statement. "We believe that we are well-positioned for future success."
Elsewhere, shares of American International Group AIG, +1.07% fell 3.3% to $31.74 following the Treasury Department's announcement that it has launched another public offering of its common stock in the insurer.
The size and the price of the offering will be announced after the offering is priced, Treasury said, adding that AIG will purchase up to $2 billion of the common stock sold by Treasury at the offering price.
Treasury still owns slightly less than 1.25 billion AIG shares, or 70% of the company's common shares. The federal government lent AIG $182 billion dollars to avoid collapse in the fall of 2008.
Ahead of late trading, investors pushed U.S. stocks sharply lower after a report showed the U.S. economy in April added fewer jobs than had been expected. Nonfarm payrolls climbed by 115,000 last month, falling short of the 163,000 jobs estimated by analysts in a MarketWatch survey. See more on April U.S. jobs data.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, +0.65% fell 168 points, or 1.3%, to 12,038.27. The S&P 500 Index SPX, +1.07% lost 1.6% to end at 1,369.10 and the Nasdaq Composite Index COMP, +1.71% declined 2.3% to 2,956.34. Read about Friday's tumble in U.S. stocks.

Master of Fantasy
Edinburgh EH2 2EL
United Kingdom
Giovanni Battista Piranesi (1720-1778) was one of the most inventive and influential printmakers of the eighteenth century. Chiefly working in Rome, he created etchings of archaeological and fantastic subjects that became an intoxicating source of inspiration for artists and architects across Europe.
The son of a stonemason, Piranesi was born near Mestre on the Venetian mainland. In his early years he studied architecture, engineering and stage design. He travelled to Rome in 1740 and immersed himself in the study of the remains of the ancient city. Within a year Piranesi started producing etched views of Rome, and in 1743 he created his first major publication, the Prima Parte di Architettura.
Following a brief return to Venice he settled in Rome, where he remained for the rest of his life. He secured his reputation with a succession of remarkable series of prints: the Vedute di Roma (1746-78), Grotteschi (1747-9) and Carceri (1749-50). Based to varying degrees on observation and the imagination, these works came to dominate the print market because of their unprecedented scale, complexity and heightened drama.
Master of Fantasy, a display of prints and drawings drawn from the Scottish National Collection, provides a fantastic overview of the career of this magnificent printmaker.

I just want point to point.I want it so when I press a button on one arduino the other arduino gets notified to do something. The range wouldn' t need to be that far but probably around a mile.
They're easy enough to use and configure with X-CTU,
Whats X-CTU?
How would I configure the XBee without the X-CTU since Im running mac?
I'm looking at the XBee Module 802.15.4 protocol - XB24-AWI-001 from adafruit.com. Would I also want to get the XBee Adapter Kit from adafruit also and get one for both arduino's. Thanks

What a great diving adventure last Tuesday, March 20th, with Aldora! I've been diving the Caribbean Islands since 2006 and, without a doubt, Aldora & Cozumel was the best diving experience I have had yet. Well organized shop, friendly & knowledgeable staff, dive master and boat captain, incredible visibility, fantastic sea life, coral and sponges. The next trip we make to Mexico will definitely be to Cozumel. From what I saw briefly of Cozumel, there seems to be a lot more to do, see and shop than Cancun & Playa del Carmen. We had six divers all with 120 cf tanks of nitrox. First dive was 70 minutes of bottom time with 75' max depth. Could have gone deeper if we had wanted, but, there was so much to see and enjoy at that depth it wasn't necessary to go deeper. 1.5 hour interval time while we enjoyed a shore lunch at a local restaurant. The second dive was 65 minutes of bottom time at 45' with an incredible drift dive. The really nice part was the dive boat stayed with us so when we surfaced it was right there. Aldora has a couple of apartments you can rent also. I can't wait to get back! Aldora.com, you will not be disappointed!

Volume 1 Chapter 7 part 2, made a lot of changes.
After a fight like that, I think that there are definitely still some things that need to be changed in order to get the perfect balance of the immediate mood, later implications and character-interaction consistency.

Also, having Haruki scare her that much is a bad idea, I think.

My immediate solution to both those problems would be to change pretty much every major edit and keep it closer to the original.
However, I know that won't go.
Honestly, on your first point, I was thinking the exact same thing while I was reading your edit and Bliss's. From the way it was written, as if Kyonko was finally letting out all her anger and frustration at once, it didn't seem appropriate for it to be weak-hearted shouting match. And I even think that Kyonko summing up the situation like Kyon did doesn't go very well with the fact that they had such a huge fight. So to cut it short, what I'm trying to say is that if they're going to have a fight, I think it should be a full-blown fight or not have one at all.
If you're referring to my last edit concerning the subtlety of the situation, it's still kind of the same idea. If you want Kyonko to regret having fought with Haruki like that that I don't think it should be a side thought like it was in the original edit but full-out lamentation. Not-at-all or all-the-way.
As for Haruki's anger, it seemed like the only appropriate response from him after such humiliation. The original edit seemed like he kinda gave up too easy, bent backwards for Kyonko in contradiction to his personality. And I was very hesitant in making Haruki a physically intimidating person, but I thought that I didn't do it too much...
Guess not.
But I still think it's important to show an extremely angry response from Haruki after that moment.

Spoiler for ...:
We seem to have returned to some form of a topic now.
Why don't we cram everything in there at once? Then everybody's happy!!

Oooh! I have an idea for a replacement name for "John Smith"... how about "Mary Sue"?
It's not like he's going to be effective against, you know, an alien, but...
Kyon quickly went unconscious at that point in the original anyway.

given that this is Mary Sue...
Asakura wanted to make Kyonko feel pain before actually killing her. A light stab is all that's needed. no need to change the weapon. remember, he slowly pulled the blade out.. so no major disembowelment...
besides.. Asakura is obviously compensating for something...

xfm 1.5.4-3 (armhf binary) in ubuntu precise
Xfm is a file and application manager program for the X Window System, based
on the Xaw3d widget set. It provides virtually all of the features that you
would expect in a file manager; move around your directory tree in multiple
windows, move, copy or delete files, and launch programs with simple mouse
operations. Directory displays are updated automatically in regular
intervals when the contents of the directory change. The integrated
application manager provides a kind of "shelf" onto which you can place your
favorite applications, as well as the files and directories you are currently
working with. It also allows you to access different groups of applications
and files. User-definable file types let you specify a command to be
executed when double-clicking on a file or dropping other files onto it.
Last not least, xfm can automatically mount and unmount special devices like
floppies as you open and close the corresponding directories (mount points).
