I posed the question last week--what is the difference between the Cards and the Reds. I've pondered this and it's decisions. Good ones versus bad ones. We continue to make bad decisions and we will continue unless the whole organization is changed from GM to manager and all in between.
Ron, what boggles my mind is why management has allowed the Eddie fantasy to get to this point. I don't think anyone OTHER than wk thought he had anything left. I don't get it.

Baked Eggs
What do you usually feed your kids for breakfast before sending them to school? About a month ago, one of the readers' posed this universal question to me via email. As parents, we are all aware that a good breakfast is essential to help kids stay focus in the classroom and to get them through the first half of the day in school. So, over the next few postings, I will address that question by sharing some of my kids' favorite home-cooked breakfasts. Today, I will start with my son's favorite Baked Eggs breakfast recipe. It's a cinch to make, just crack a couple of eggs into the prepared ramekins with some cream, scallions, chopped tomatoes, and bake in the oven for about 13 to 15 minutes. Serve the baked eggs with some toast, fruits, and juice. Kids love it.
Baked Eggs
2 Large Eggs
2 tsp Whipping (Heavy Cream)
¼ Medium Tomato, seeded, and diced
1 Scallion, chopped
1 ½ tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 tsp Unsalted Butter
Sea Salt
Freshly Ground Black Pepper
Preheat an oven to 375˚F. (190˚C)
Oil a ramekin and sprinkle it with scallion (white part only). Crack 2 eggs into it, scatter the chopped tomatoes, drizzle the cream, season with sea salt, freshly ground black pepper and top with butter.
Bake in the oven for about 13 to 15 minutes. Garnish with chopped scallion (green part) and serve immediately.

That looks so pretty. And this makes a perfect brunch dish. Guests can even customize the toppings/fillings.ReplyDelete
Beautiful dish, I want it. My kids seem to have inherited their father's Italian no wish for breakfast gene. I think I'll make this for myself!ReplyDelete
How are the eggs done after 15 mins in the oven? They look half-cooked in the picture with the yolks perfect for dipping! A chef's version of traditional half-boiled eggs? ;-)ReplyDelete

ugh baked eggs are the bane of my existence. I can never get the yolks to be soft; they're always overcooked. Do you have any special tricks?ReplyDelete
- AnonymousNovember 7, 2010 at 2:27 AM
just wonderin...the egg yolk wouldn't go 'ka-boom' even if you don't prick it...like wat happens if you don't prink an egg yolk & try to cook it in a microwave? ThanksReplyDelete
Fantastic recipe. These eggs look terrific.ReplyDelete
I'd love for you to submit one of your beautiful photos, and a link to your post, to my new vegetarian photo gallery showcasing the best vegetarian dishes and recipes on the web.
Great dish. I wish I had it sitting next to me right now, actually.ReplyDelete
@KY: The egg white is fully set and the yolk is slightly runny. Yes, the egg yolks are perfect for dipping.ReplyDelete
@savoryseduction:I don't have any trick; it's merely the cooking timing.
@Anonymous: I am not familiar with microwave oven. I think the cooking procedure with traditional oven and microwave might be a little different.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousNovember 7, 2010 at 7:43 AM
You forget to add the tomato in the recipe instructions.ReplyDelete
@Anonymous: Thanks.Just amended the recipe.ReplyDelete
This looks great-more like a brunch item than a kids breakfast (just thinking about my kids!). A couple of my make aheads that are great for busy mornings for moms and dads:ReplyDelete
Lucky kids! ;)ReplyDelete

Todd Bowles has had a rough time as the Eagles' defensive coordinator this season, but his alma mater apparently still thinks he's a good coach.
Temple University, where Bowles played in the 1980s, has contacted Bowles about its head-coaching vacancy, CSNPhilly.com reports.
Bowles, who became the Eagles' defensive coordinator when Juan Castillo was fired this season, said last week that he's only thinking about his current job. But he didn't deny that he'd be interested in returning to Temple as his next job.
"Right now, I haven't even thought about it," Bowles said. "I love my school to death. I wear Temple sweatshirts every day. I got my job right here. I'm very happy with it."
The Eagles are expected to fire head coach Andy Reid after the season, and that would put Bowles and the rest of the staff out of work as well. Bowles may say he's only thinking about his job with the Eagles, but it's hard to believe he wouldn't love a job offer that allows him to stay in Philadelphia and take over at his alma mater. Bowles to Temple makes a lot of sense.

It is President's Day on Monday. That got me to thinking about Washington and Lincoln. Stanczyk, has had an awful lot of mathematical training – the product of a degree from a School of Engineering. It is funny, the teachings that stick with you your whole life. One of the things that I learned that stuck with me was a little factoid from a Probability & Statistics course. I was taught that in a gathering of just of 19 people that the probability that two of them having the same day of birth (not the same year though) would be 50-50. That in any gathering of 19 people it would be a 50% chance of two people celebrating their birthday on the same day each year!
This being President's Day weekend, I noted that we have had 44Presidents (only 43 different, since Grover Cleveland was the 22nd and the 24th President). So I asked myself did any two Presidents have the same day of birth? Now if we ignore the Grover Cleveland issue, and we examine the dates of birth of all US Presidents, we do indeed find that two Presidents had the same day of birth. The day in calendar is November 2nd. The two Presidents who share that day are: Warren G. Harding and James K Polk.
Now you might expect that since we have > 38 Presidents, that there should be two pairs of matches. But the odds are only 50-50. So we have just one matching pair of Presidents. There were a lot of near misses (off by one day). If your birth month is not September or June (each of which only had one President) then the odds are pretty good that you, my dear reader, share a birth day with one of the Presidents. I'd say better than 50-50. So click on the link and see for yourself.
Happy President's Day!

Netflix may be putting all its eggs in the Marvel basket, but Marvel's Iron Fist is the exception to that rule.
Just over a month after Danny Rand (Finn Jones) returned to punch people around with his magical, glowing fist in Season 2, Netflix has officially canceled Marvel's Iron Fist. "Marvel's Iron Fist will not return for a third season on Netflix," reps for Netflix and Marvel told Deadline today.
"Everyone at Marvel Television and Netflix is proud of the series and grateful for all of the hard work from our incredible cast, crew and showrunners. We're thankful to the fans who have watched these two seasons, and for the partnership we've shared on this series. While the series on Netflix has ended, the immortal Iron Fist will live on."

Hey, at least there's a chance he'll show up in the much-anticipated Season 3 of Daredevil? Or maybe The Defenders will get back together for another small series? Yeah... unlikely. Both seasons of Iron Fist were panned by critics, but Netflix felt confident to renew for a second run. It is the first of the Marvel Netflix series to get an official cancellation, and brings in to question how the Netflix portion of the Marvel Cinematic Universe will continue.

A girl was raped and buried alive in Pakistan.
Siddique Mughal, a resident of a village in Toba Tek Singh district, located 225 km from Lahore, told police that his 13-year-old daughter was abducted by two unidentified men while she was going to a seminary for Quran lessons. The men took the girl to a deserted place and raped her. They believed she had died during the assault and buried her by the roadside, Mughal said.
However, the girl regained consciousness and dug her way out of the mud covering her. She raised an alarm and caught the attention of a passerby , who took her to a nearby rural health centre.
As police were not cooperating with the girl's family, the Lahore HC chief justice's complaint cell took notice of the incident on Saturday and directed the district and sessions judge of Toba Tek Singh to probe the matter.
The sessions judge subsequently directed police to arrest the rapists, complete their investigation.
I feel like I am buried alive and I am suffocating inside my grave, I am screaming and calling people out but nobody is listening to me! I feel like I am dying but no one is trying to save me.

With rapt attention, 4-year-old Alexis Gamble fixed her eyes on three teenage girls, bare-footed in vibrant-colored dresses, as they danced to traditional African beats on Saturday, the fourth day of Kwanzaa.
The Gamble family, of Owings Mills, lights a candle each day of the seven-day holiday that was created in 1966 by Eastern Shore native Maulana Karenga to reflect on African culture. They were among more than 350 who turned out for the annual celebration at the Reginald F. Lewis Museum.
"The kids loved the drums," Tekoa Gamble said of Alexis and her 8-year-old brother, Lavar. "So far, everything's been a good education for them."
Gamble and her husband, Angelo, forgo Christmas to teach the children about their heritage and the seven principals of Kwanzaa: unity, self-determination, collective work and responsibility, cooperative economics, purpose, creativity and faith.
The museum festival included griot storytelling, films, crafts and an African marketplace, where artisans sold jewelry, slippers, soaps, flags and garb. The dance and drum performances were put on by the repertory company at ConneXions School for the Arts and Nyame Nti Cultural Healing Arts Therapy.
Dorothy Adamson Holley, one of the founders of the Baltimore-based Nyame Nti, said she believes the ancient dances and drumbeats are gifts to African-Americans from their ancestors that promote healing. She described the performances as "soul-stirring."
"Literally something inside of me was healed on a cellular level," Adamson Holley said. "It's much more than entertainment."
To Quanjayaa Turmon, one of the ConneXions students, celebrating Kwanzaa and expressing herself through African dance feels natural.
"You can give your energy and see what you can do," the 16-year-old said.
Terry Taylor, education programs coordinator at the museum, said celebrating the message of Kwanzaa instills a sense of pride and empowerment in African-American children to counter negative images or influences they may encounter.
"Kwanzaa isn't just a celebration one week after Christmas," Taylor said. "The principles can be celebrated all year."
The museum has hosted Kwanzaa celebrations for more than five years.
Richard Eland of West Windsor, N.J., said he's been coming to Baltimore for two decades to see family and friends but visited the Reginald F. Lewis Museum for the first time Saturday with his daughter, Ariel, 20. They stayed to see vendors, drummers and a play, and toured the exhibit "Growing Up AFRO," which commemorates the 120th anniversary of the Afro-American newspaper.
"It adds to the diversity of Baltimore's cultural experience," Richard Eland said.
Said Ariel Eland, "I love the drummers and the beat — I am definitely glad we came."

I have found the writing of this article very hard. I have had to reassess my image of my past. I had to live in a household where the viewing of hard-core porn was the norm. This did me great damage. Part of the damage is that I have lost a great deal of my memory.
I get memories through my body. I can see my past in nightmares. I can remember when watching TV. Watching good acting forces back buried memories. I can feel fear – only it has no name. Then, I choose to be invisible. From the age of eight to twenty-seven I chose not to live.
I had lived with hard-porn from the time I was eight. Hustler entered my life when I was eleven. I found that it suffocated me with fear. Now, I wish to face Hustler in the eye, and to stand tall.
There was a time when I was a happy child. A time I thought that I was free. A time when the adults around me were trustworthy. There was a time when I could wander 'round naked. There was a time when I was a child. Nothing more — nothing less. I see that time as a dream. Sometimes, I stare at photos of me then. I wonder if any of it was true.
My stepdad enter my life when I was eight. He adored porn, the more violent the better. He came with images from sex-murders. Images of children doing things I didn't want to know. He was a member of PIE [Paedophile Information Exchange, UK].
When he came, I changed. He made me look at the images. It burnt through my brain. When I closed my eyes, it rotted in my body. When Hustler came, I lost hope. All I knew was despair. All I saw was pain, only now it was with a smile. It made no sense. I got headaches. I lost my sight. I was closing down. All I heard was my stepdad's laughter. He was laughing — as I shook with terror.
Then, I saw "Chester the Molester". Then I knew I could not fight. In those cartoons, I saw my fate. I looked and I wanted to die. In those images, I saw my fear, my humiliation and my pain. Only, they were just a joke. I felt sick. I had forgotten how to laugh. I was learning to freeze my emotions.
Looking back, I see those cartoons for what they are. I had entered a world where children were property. They were always available for sex. They would never complain. Like the women in the hard-core porn, the children knew their place. They would learn to smile when in pain. When I saw "Chester the Molester" I was taught that sex was pain and fear. I learnt that it was inevitable I would be raped, beaten and threaten. For, after I learnt that the world belong to the rapist. I knew resistance was futile.
I survived by closing down my visual imagination. I thought it was a short-term solution, but it lasted for the rest of my life. Even when I relax I cannot escape into places that I have loved. Hard-core pornography has taken away my dreams.
My stepdad begun abusing me when I twelve. His abuse was gentle and calm. It was not as I had expected, it felt as if it was an accident. I thought that I was lucky since I was not dead or being tortured. I thought I had done something to make him touch me.
Hustler had taught how to be abused. I was now obeying my stepdad. I had stopped thinking that I could say no. As the abuse became more and more painful, as I became more and more degraded it all became clearer. I know the rules now.
Only, it made no sense. For, I could not understand why he keep saying that he loved me. How that be true, when he threw me into hell. Now, I see he spoke the language of hard-core porn. Always linking pain with pleasure. Speaking of how it was fine to have sex with kids. Telling me that it was only society's conventions that say that it is wrong.
He made me believe that I received pain because I had moved. Every time he made me cum, he would say that I was a whore. I see now that I was his live porn.
When I was fourteen I had given up. I had decided that all I deserved was pain. I knew I was just a whore. I had been brainwashed by hard-core porn. I went blindly into the world of paid sex. At the time, I felt it was my decision — only I knew nothing.
I went towards men that used extreme sexual and physical violence. In that world, I found my place. The familiar place that I had seen in Hustler's photo-shoots. I thought I was hardened. I had forgotten that I was still a child. I thought I understood the rules of the game. But I was so wrong.
I did not know that each time that they hit me that I would go into shock. I did not know that each time that they raped me, I would feel pain. And I had no idea that men could hate women with such intensity. I thought I was street-wise. I was a child screaming to be rescued.
In their beds, I was an object. My eyes were dead. I had become just holes to be filled. Now, I had reached the beginning of my pain. Now, I was part of porn. I had no feelings left. My safety was not relevant.
Seeing me then, I can see the dead eyes in the Hustler's photo-shoots. I can understand that look. It is the look where hope is forgotten. For hope will only bring pain.
To believe in hope, will only mean facing the reality of the violence that i was living through. Then I may kill myself.
That time, was a different life to the one I live now. I know it is part of me, but I see it through a haze. My past made me strong and gave me a great deal of compassion. Now I feel some contentment for my life is low-key.
I was changed by having hard-core porn forced into my life. I can never regain the open trust I had before I was eight. I am still wary of my own sexuality. Hard-core porn placed an underlying depression in me. I still fight the desire to go back to violence when I am depressed. After all, violence was my norm. I am building a non-violent world around myself, but I find it very hard. For I cannot understand the rules of a safe life.
Each day, I am learning that I am more than a whore. I see now, that was never true. It was just the lies that hard-core porn placed in my brain. I live in the hope that one day, somehow, all women and children will be safe from the hated of hard-core porn.

What Larry Flynt was really doing the night
of the opening of Larry Flynt: The Right to Be Left Alone.
On Friday the 13th in April 2007 The Right To Be Left Alone, the latest documentary on Larry Flynt had its world premiere as the "center frame" film at the Full Frame Documentary Film Festival, sponsored by Duke University, The New York Times and HBO. Flynt was even invited as an honored guest, however his brother showed up instead, because Flynt said he was ill. At the opening, his brother said the reason Flynt was not present was not because he was sick. Maybe he was too busy satisfying his fetish for bondage pornography and not leaving women alone by violating their privacy in every way imaginable on his blog.
There were over 2,000 films entered in the Full Frame Festival, and apparently the Flynt documentary was among only one of two films that escaped the critical review process in an otherwise scholarly environment. Full Frame appears to have given Larry Flynt special protection where it could be assured that his critics were kept silent in order to protect Flynt from criticism. Free Speech, anyone?
Full Frame's motto is "How much reality can you handle?", but the filmmakers have produced a manipulative and superficial examination of Flynt, one that uses propaganda tactics and takes their audience for a ride. It is indeed a very unreal portrayal of Flynt which includes even "very little nudity" and hypocritically did not mention any of the massive amounts of racist, homophobic and misogynist materials he produced.
For decades Hustler, his hate magazine, has been on sale in almost every convenience store in the country. During that time, with each new issue every month he has declared war on women, feminists, people of color, animals, Jews, the disabled, children, and animal rights activists, as well as other groups or individual who disagreed with him. Flynt has aimed hate speech and harassment against every mistreated or oppressed groups you can think of. A full generation of males have now been raised on contempt like his and he loves it.
Dwayne Tinsley, close personal friend to Flynt, and the creator of the Hustler cartoon "Chester the Molester," which depicted pre-teen girls of all races being molested, was convicted in 1990 of sexually abusing his daughter. When he was released from prison, after serving his time, Flynt hired him back on at Huster. In February 1996, Hustler publisher Joe Theron was arrested in Britain with 400 videos imported from South Africa, many of them depicting child pornography.
For all this Flynt is being promoted as a free speech hero instead of the greedy, exploitive, racist misogynist he really is. The right to be left alone? The right to be left alone? In his whole life Larry Flynt has never left anyone alone. Flynt has aimed hate speech and harassment against every oppressed groups you can think of. Big man. Big hero. Thanks Duke University, HBO, New York Times and Full Frame Documentary Festival!
Most people who have seen the Larry Flynt movie think they know who Larry Flynt is. A leading figure in the struggle for free speech, who published, according to our modern eyes, quite innocent nudie-photos and some jokes against the right wing conservatives and Jerry Falwell. Sounds cool but it's a lie.
The real Flynt has little in common with the martyr that he finances people to describe him as. According to his own autobiography Flynt's first sexual experience was raping a chicken. He killed the chicken to "avoid suspicion". He has also gone to tremendous degrees in his attempts to silence his daughter from talking about how she was raped by him. He has used his power in the media to attempt to instill intimidation in any who spoke out against pornography. He used his magazine to vilify activist Aura Bogado with hateful, violent and threatening cartoons and articles. In his column called "Asshole of the Month" he has included Barack Obama, Diana Russell, Andrea Dworkin, Dorchen Liedholdt, Gloria Allred, Catharine MacKinnon and hundreds of others. In the 1970s he put out "Wanted Posters" for Gloria Steinem and Susan Brownmiller because they were antipornography. He has offered a bounty on feminists who have been critical against him and done whatever he could to silence whoever would be critical against the racist and misogynic material in his magazines.
The only free speech Larry Flynt really wants is his own and what he wants said, which makes him as much of a defender of free speech as say for example Stalin or Hitler.

When the media refers to Larry Flynt and his gubernatorial candidacy in California, they tend to mention his advocacy for freedom of the press, but they censor more important information regarding his assault on women and children. Flynt, a self-proclaimed champion of the First Amendment, is a description parroted by media sources uncritically. The legitimization of the publisher of Hustler magazine is alarming, but the distortions and omissions of mainstream media, while unfortunately not uncommon, are even more alarming. I'm not an expert at all on Flynt, and I intentionally limit my exposure to his publications because they are so brutally dehumanizing and degrading, but I can make a few general points why any socially responsible citizen would challenge Flynt's candidacy for any office.
Since Larry Flynt began publishing Hustler in 1974, the intent of the naked female pictorials has been to bring the "accessible" girl-off-the-street to working class males. The depictions are less glossy, more explicit, gynecological, violent, and degrading than many of those featured in Playboy and Penthouse. These three euphemistically-termed men's magazines are the three top-grossing in this genre.
Hustler targets juvenile consumers. In Reisman's content analysis "An unforeseen finding may be the estimated 27 percent of Playboy, 33 percent of Penthouse, and 47 percent of Hustler cartoons and illustrations identified as 'child magnets.' Briefly child magnets are features which are generally unique to the children's world of entertainment (e.g., books and television) and known to attract child readers/viewers. …Since evidence confirms the large juvenile readership of these magazines, the unique quality of Child Magnets may be viewed as a technique both catering to, and attracting a juvenile audience. Therefore the depictions presented in 'Child Magnets' may be presumed to be of special public interest and concern." (Reisman, 1989)
Of these three magazines published between 1954 and 1984, Hustler had the most depictions of children in its cartoons and visuals. In Reisman's content analysis there were 14 child images per issue or 12% of the total imagery. Hustler was also the magazine most likely to depict the children as nude or partially nude in its visuals. (Playboy had 8 images per magazine or 5% of the total imagery while Penthouse had 6 images per magazine or 4% – all unacceptable numbers!) (Reisman, 1994)
Dwaine Tinsley was a featured cartoonist in Hustler as well as the humor editor for many years. He wrote the "Chester the Molester" monthly cartoon feature until spring of 1989 when he was convicted on multiple accounts of child molestation. He had drugged his daughter, put her on birth control pills when she was 13 years old and sexually abused her until she was l8 years old. She described the cartoon series as depicting much of her experience as a sex abuse and incest victim. After two years in jail, Tinsley was released by an appeals court when it ruled that the prosecution should not have shown the molester cartoons to the jury and "inflamed the passions" of the jurors. What do the cartoons do to the vulnerable juvenile and adult consumers of the magazine? Tinsley returned as an employee of Hustler magazine after his release from prison.
One of Larry Flynt's daughters, Tonya, accused her father of child sexual abuse. She wrote a book about her experiences and her concerns about pornography. Flynt denied the charges and viciously attacked her in the media, a strategy more common among perpetrators. Another daughter did not support the charges by Tonya, and she reportedly was not disinherited as was Tonya
Larry Flynt is best known for publishing Hustler magazine, but his company, LFP, Inc. puts out about 29 other magazines. He is responsible for Barely Legal, the very popular magazine and video series. The magazine features naked and pornographic pictorials of female models, who are usually described as having just celebrated their 18th birthday.
They more commonly look 12 to 14 years old, and wear pigtails, hair bows, saddle shoes, and younger childish clothing and props. The text usually describes them as "sluts," etc., with years of sexual activity by the girls or they are virgins who urgently need their condition remedied. This is newsstand pseudo-child pornography. Thsi is a technique to circumvent the letter of the law, while breaking the essence of the law to protect underage youth.
There is a Hustler make-up and accessories line targeted to adolescent girls. More information on these branded products and their marketing is needed..
Big Brother magazine is published by Flynt and is targeted to adolescent and younger skateboarders. The covers are often child magnets and not explicit. Dave Carnie, the editor in 1999 admitted the magazine covers are intentionally deceptive so parents won't suspect the content, and children can be deceived into purchasing a magazine with a pornographic mindset There are no typical pornography photos, but the raunchy sex talk, etc., is embedded in the text. Interviews with 14 year old boys include questions like, "would you f**k your mother to be as good as so and so skateboarder?" Tips for girls for attention at parties include to "show their boobies," and to find one, two or three other girls to engage in pseudo-lesbian activities while drinking alcohol, etc. When asked why there was no parental discretion warning labels the editor stated that Flynt wouldn't allow it because it may affect circulation numbers. (Pettineo, 1999)
Gail Dines addresses the racist content in Hustler magazine. Black males are portrayed in the cartoons and visuals as violent and dangerous, and sexual monsters with oversized penises raping white women. This chapter may be accessed at:
A disturbing reference to Hustler occurred in A & F Quarterly, Spring, 2002. This catalog and lifestyle magazine combination targets adolescents while promoting their Abercrombie & Fitch casual clothing line popular with preadolescents and early adolescents anxious to be like cool college kids. Scattered throughout the sexually explicit publication are interviews with various celebrities popular with youth. The following includes a portion of an interview with MC Paul Barman, a hip-hop performer:
"…I'd like to predict a fashion. …Okay. Have you seen Playboy T-shirts around? When a girl wore a Playboy shirt when I was a teenager, it was the hottest thing ever. Now, you know how it is ultimately, whatever is amazing becomes preppie. They sell 'em in a mall. However, anytime you have something trendy, a branch of it, which is a little bit more obscure and has a little bit more flavor, is the new cool thing. So I once saw a cute girl wearing a Hustler shirt, and I once saw a cute girl wearing a Barely Legal shirt. I've seen one of each. And I'm telling you, there are going to be a lot more of them. If we started a company bootlegging T-shirts with the logos for Hustler, Barely Legal, High Society-Black Tail, I think, would be huge-this is how you make money. Twenty-five dollars, plus shipping and handling, on porno****.com. Have you ever seen a flat-chested girl who looks like the stepdaughter of a business executive wearing a shirt that says "PORN STAR'? These chicks are not porn stars. They probably don't even go down. But they will wear a Nugget T-shirt. And I want to be the person that sells it to them." (Collins, 2002)

December 2005
Larry Flynt, publisher of Hustler and numerous other pornography magazines, has finally honored my decades of anti-pornography activism by naming me "Asshole of the Month" in Hustler, February 20051. Several other feminists have achieved this accolade, including Andrea Dworkin, Dorchen Liedholdt, Gloria Allred and Catharine MacKinnon. Gloria Steinem appeared on a "Most Wanted" poster in Hustler accompanied by Flynt's accusation that she "should be considered armed with false propaganda and dangerous to the rights of all Americans" for her anti-pornography views.
In every issue of Hustler, Flynt names one of his enemies "Asshole of the Month." Along with a photograph of his adversary's face emerging from a donkey's rectum2, Flynt provides three quarters of a page of crude, mostly defamatory, text. I believe Flynt may have finally decided to target me in this way because he seems to have been particularly riled by two public statements that I made, i.e., "I wish that Flynt's would-be murderer had been a better shot," and, "I wish Larry Flynt had never survived his mother's womb." One or both of these pronouncements are referred to in three articles in the February issue of Hustler. Missing from two of them, however, is my rationale for making these inflammatory assertions, i.e., that Flynt's many pornographic enterprises that have made him perhaps the most notorious pornographer in the world today, have been responsible for an immeasurable amount of sexual violence against women and girls. Had Flynt been aborted or miscarried by his mother or murdered in 1978, a great deal of suffering would have been avoided.
Following are a few examples of Flynt's slanderous statements about me in the "Asshole" article in which he describes me as "a bitter shrew":
"So poisonous is Russell's vile rhetoric that it begs the question: Where did this Ms. Pol Pot come from? …
"By the end of the turbulent decade [the 1960s], Russell was teaching at California's Mills College, helping build its women's-studies department — an accomplishment akin to Joseph Goebbels launching a communications department at Berlin University.
"Russell's personal history of relationships with men seems shrouded at best, although the educator has made passing references to a brief marriage that she bemoans as a 'crash course in sexism.' This is likely code for 'Hubby wanted a hummer when he got home from work,' which to Russell is the moral equivalent of Dachau's ovens." ….
"Diana Russell is a sick and dangerous woman, one who peddles her diseased philosophy of men-hating as a template for resistance to the Patriarchy."3.
This hyperbolic vitriol reveals how threatened Flynt is feeling — a sentiment he cops to in his editorial titled, "The Feminist Threat." This phrase is also on this issue of Hustler's cover under a logo stating "HUSTLER GOES TO WAR." Implicit is the fact that Flynt's war is against anti-pornography feminists. He has singled out Aura Bogado, a producer and anchor of KPFK Radio News in Los Angeles, and me as his targets in this particular month. Following are excerpts from Flynt's editorial:
"Recent events have caused me to once again focus attention on my lifelong opponents on the feminist fringe, those who — however they cloak their rhetoric — are antisex, antiporn and antimale. For too long I have tended to dismiss them on the grounds that they do not represent the majority of the women in this country. However, I can now see that, while this is true, these women have been making inroads into positions of power, especially within those institutions generally recognized as being on the Progressive Left….
"… (M)ilitant feminists seem intent on instituting a new fascism based on their notions of what is right and what is wrong …. This is a particular shame because the fringe feminists' vicious attacks against healthy male sexuality tend to drive most men out of the Progressive tent….
"Given the foregoing, I have instructed my editors to take an in-depth look at the women of the Left — the good, the bad and the ugly. In this issue our extensive overview includes a look at recent attacks against HUSTLER from the militant feminists,… and a follow-up article about a California women's college with a troubling agenda [Mills College].
"It is our hope and intention that by putting the spotlight on these militant feminists — who got away with their vile attacks only because the voices of reason are afraid to stand up to them — we will reveal their bankrupt ideology."4
Similarly slanderous statements are made about me and Bogado in Amy Alkon's article in the same issue of Hustler. Flynt drafted this foul-mouthed lackey, "a syndicated columnist who has appeared in more than 100 newspapers throughout North America"5, into his war against anti-pornography feminists. She focuses her venom on Bogado and me, referring to us as "Femi-Fascists". "As a free-expression absolutist," she writes,
"I even defend the rights of hate-spewing, jack-booted Femi-Fascists like Aura Bogado and Diana Russell. In fact, I encourage them to speak openly and frequently, if only so their philosophy can be exposed as a fraud, as a lie, as a wrongheaded, nasty-ass steaming pile of Stalinist shit."6
Quoting my statement about wishing that Flynt's would-be murderer had been a better shot, Alkon accuses me of just stopping short "of putting out a feminist fatwa against Flynt"7. She then proceeds to quote me as accusing Flynt, "through his publications, of 'causing thousands of rapes, thousands of cases of child sexual victimization, millions of cases of sexual harassment and, very likely, many cases of torturing women and some murders of women.'" Alkon declares my estimates of the suffering perpetrated by Flynt to be "sick, unsubstantiated and unjustifiable allegations"8. In contrast, she quotes Catherine Salmon approvingly for saying that "Pornography is about sex, and not about violence or the degradation of women"9.
Despite Alkon's arrogance, I'll wager that she knows next to nothing about research on pornography, whereas I have been studying this form of misogynist oppression of women for over 30 years and I've written three books on the subject. Nevertheless, Alkon feels entitled to endorse the validity of Salmon's conclusion that pornography has nothing to do with violence and is not degrading, while she dismisses as "Stalinist shit" my views that the women involved in its production are degraded, that the portrayals of women in pornography are degrading, and that pornography plays a significant role in causing sexual violence and abuse. [Footnote: This does not mean that pornography is the only cause of harm to women.] Perhaps this is not surprising given that Alkon [and Susie Bright] was hired to wage war against Bogado and I, not to seek the truth about the harmful effects of pornography.10
The picture illustrating Alkon's article shows a bald tough-looking woman dressed in what appears to be a Nazi uniform with a lesbian symbol on her armband. Standing upright on a rock with a riding crop in one hand, she looks like a giant dominating a large army of docile-looking men all of whom wear armbands displaying a male symbol, and all with their hands chained together. Presumably the intimidating-looking lesbian is supposed to represent Bogado and/or me.
An unflattering photograph of me appears in a third article in the February issue of Hustler titled "Smear & Loathing at Mills College." This same photograph of my face was used for the "Asshole" picture)
I was a professor of sociology at this private all-women's liberal arts college in Oakland, California, for 22 years. The caption to the photograph of me reads, "Teaching and Preaching Hatred: Mills Professor Emerita Diana Russell boasts of her desire to see Larry Flynt murdered." In the text, journalist author Thayer Walker repeats my two now oft-quoted statements about my wishing Flynt's murderer were a better shot, and that he had never survived his mother's womb. The context of these quotations was Walker's claim that the few male students at Mills had experienced considerable anti-male sentiment from female students. In addition, Walker documented some of the many angry and threatening statements made by students following the publication in Hustler11 of a scandalous and salacious article by Sam Ospovat, a former male graduate student at Mills, about a Fetish Ball he had attended on the campus in 2002. My participation in this fracas was to write a harsh criticism of the Fetish Balls as "pornographied" events where pornography was shown and many of the students were partially naked and/or dressed like sluts). I also castigated the President of Mills for allowing such events on the Mills campus12.
I believe Flynt was also enraged by my participation in a protest at the official opening of his new Hustler Club in the sleezy red-light district of San Francisco on February 20, 2002. Indeed, this is where I told reporters that I wished that Flynt's would-be murderer had been a better shot. It is virtually certain that Flynt was aware of my presence that evening because a photograph of me behind a very large protest sign appears in an article about the opening of the Hustler Club.13
Not only was I protesting with other members of Women Against Pornography because we opposed the opening of Flynt's new topless dancing club; we were also there to express our outrage over the blatant child pornography advertisement that was published in local newspapers and used to lure men to the opening of the Hustler Club14. Although spokesmen for the club maintained that the girls — who looked no older than 14 — were of legal age, the young women were obviously chosen to appeal to men who are turned on by underage girls. In addition to the sign showing a giant enlargement of this ad that we used for our protest, we displayed another equally large sign that read "HUSTLER CLUB: FOR MEN WHO NEED CHILD PORN & ABUSE TO GET IT UP!" Pictures of two flaccid penises appear on this sign.
The second sign so enraged a man hanging around the entrance to the Hustler Club that he assaulted me while attempting to destroy the sign I stood behind. He failed to achieve his goal (the sign was made of vinyl), but succeeded in wrestling me to the ground. It took three male bystanders to break my assailant's ferocious grip on me. Although I could have orchestrated his arrest had I thought fast enough before he hurriedly left the scene, I was appalled that none of the three journalists who quoted me in their coverage of this event saw fit to mention this assault. I guess they consider violence against women too trivial to warrant mentioning. Additionally, the fact that those of us from Women Against Pornography were the only ones to protest the use of what looked like child pornography to advertize the opening of the Hustler Club suggests that the use of increasingly young — and young-looking — girls is becoming more acceptable to the public. This is precisely the way pornography succeeds in transforming what used to be confined to pornography into mainstream images.
We need to mobilize increasing numbers of feminists to fight against pornography. The formation of a new organization tentatively called the National Feminist Anti-Pornography Movement in Boston in July 2005, is a promising sign15. This article shows how being attacked by our enemies is a sign that we are making progress in our struggle against the pornography warmongers who want to silence us.

I am by no means a fitness buff, personal trainer or someone qualified to model Abercrombie cloths. What I am is 30, father of a 1-year old, and someone who ate a lot of pasta as a child. I try to keep myself in good shape, but it isn't easy.
Before my son was born I weighed 210lbs (not bad for someone who is 6'3″). However shortly after his birth that number began to creep up on the scale. Try as I might to be good, the demands of a career, fatherhood and everything that comes with took its toll on my waist line. I got up to (well I would rather not say) before I decided it was time to stop sliding. I made the typical New Year's Resolution, ate a bunch of carrot sticks and walked to work a few days a week. But it wasn't until this spring and a few small changes that I drop the "daddy weight".
So I thought it appropriate to share them with you so that you can A. point and laugh at me when you see me looking miserable and eating Greek yogurt or B. use my advice to help get you in shape to be able to keep up with your child when they get older.
- Eat what your toddler eats – We have all read the books. We know we aren't supposed to be feeding our toddlers Doritos and candy bars, so why do we eat those things? My son likes peas, broccoli and a few other vegetables so I am trying to eat more of that. I don't eat a lot of chips because if he sees me eating them, he will want some too. So by me trying to eat the same things he does is helps solve both issues. Along with this my son isn't a huge fan of beef or pork yet. So we do a lot of chicken, fish and soy. We both like black bean burgers and bean tacos.
- How do you take your coffee? – If you have a small child, you probably drink coffee. If you are like me you probably drink more coffee than is recommended. If you put a lot of cream and sugar in your coffee it can really add up by the end of the day. I drink my coffee cold and black (there is clearly something wrong with me). I get that drinking something that will burn a hole right through your stomach lining isn't for everyone so maybe just try using skim milk and a little less sugar. Also for your information a small, regular iced coffee from Dunkin Donuts is 120 calories (and who the hell gets a small?).
- Man up and just use ice as your mixer – This one is pretty self-explanatory.
- Stop eating so much ice cream – I will admit that this has been the most difficult part for me. I understand the pressure and stress that goes with being a parent, having a tough job, a pile of bills, family, blah blah blah. It becomes very easy to make all of that go away with a hot fudge sunday. I'm not saying you can't ever have ice cream, just you probably shouldn't be the mayor of the local Dairy Queen on Foursquare (disclaimer: I have, at times, been the mayor of more than 1). Also consider buying a type of ice cream you don't really care for and sticking it in the freezer. It might help to keep you from eating a whole pint at once.
- Cardio (duh) – Try as you might to eat salad, yogurt and all that healthy shit, you are going to break down and eat pizza and wings every couple of days. It's ok. You need to do this. It's this sort of release that keeps us all from going crazy and killing a room full of kittens. I also think you can't just rely on watching what you eat. You need exercise too. So go for a walk, a hike or whatever it takes to get your heart rate up a few times a week. For me it was running. I have been causally running for the past few years but have gotten a little more dedicated these past few months. What has helped is that my son likes to come too. Not only does he like it but he is starting to let me take him on longer runs. I can now go about 5-6 miles before he starts to get bored with being strapped in his stroller. What else helps is I have a few coworkers that like to run and I recently started running with a group on Friday mornings. If your kid doesn't like it at first, try starting out slow with brisk walking. Also as the weather gets colder make sure your kiddo is bundled up. Just because you are sweating doesn't mean they are.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama's second-term agenda will be robustly tested this week, with gun control and immigration in the spotlight on Capitol Hill and the White House releasing his long-delayed budget blueprint. In a taste of what lies ahead, Democratic gun legislation arrived on the Senate floor Monday — facing an aggressive Republican effort to block it.
In an era of deep partisanship and divided government, Obama knows he won't get everything he wants on the three big issues as he seeks to capitalize on the national support that brought him re-election. But the scope of his victories or defeats on these issues will in part define his legacy and determine how much political capital he retains for his final four years in office.
"This is his best chance to set up the next 3½ years where he's the pace car," said Sara Taylor Fagen, who served as political director for President George W. Bush.
But much of what happens during this pivotal period is out of the president's direct control. Members of Congress will largely determine whether his proposals to deal with gun ownership, revamp broken immigration laws and reduce the federal budget deficit gain traction.
Lawmakers, back in Washington after a two-week recess, are expected to take significant steps on some of the issues this week. A bipartisan group of senators could unveil highly anticipated immigration legislation by the end of the week. And Democrats brought a gun-control bill to the Senate floor Monday afternoon amid a threat from conservative Republicans to use delaying tactics to prevent formal debate from even beginning.
Obama himself flew to Connecticut for a new gun-control speech, and he was bringing relatives of Newtown shooting victims back to Washington on Air Force One to lobby members of Congress.
"The day Newtown happened was the toughest day of my presidency," Obama said Monday. "But I've got to tell you, if we don't respond to this, that'll be a tough day for me, too. Because we've got to expect more from ourselves. We've got to expect more from Congress."
In the midst of all that, Obama will release his 2014 budget, which already is drawing opposition from both parties ahead of its Wednesday publication. Republicans oppose Obama's calls for new tax hikes, and many of the president's fellow Democrats balk at his proposals for smaller annual increases in Social Security and other federal benefit programs.
The White House tried to play down the significance of the week's overlapping events to the president's broader objectives, with Obama spokesman Jay Carney saying the administration is always trying to move forward on "the business of the American people."
Said Carney: "Every one of these weeks is full of the possibility for progress on a range of fronts."
But Obama's advisers know the window for broad legislative victories is narrower for a second-term president. Political posturing is already underway for the 2014 midterm elections, which will consume Congress next year. And once those votes for a new Congress are cast, Washington's attention turns to the race to succeed Obama.
Patrick Griffin, who served as White House legislative director under President Bill Clinton, said Obama's legislative efforts this year are likely to be the "sum and substance" of his second-term agenda.
"I think it would be very tough to put another item on the agenda on his own terms," said Griffin, adding that unexpected events could force other issues to the fore.
On both ends of Pennsylvania Avenue, the outcome of the debate over gun measures is perhaps the most uncertain. The White House and Congress had little appetite for tackling the emotional issue during Obama's first term, but December's horrific elementary school massacre in Connecticut thrust gun control to the forefront of the president's second-term agenda.
If a bill does reach Obama's desk this year, it will be far weaker than what he first proposed. An assault weapons ban appears all but dead, and a prohibition on ammunition magazines carrying over 10 rounds, also supported by the president, seems unlikely to survive.
The White House is largely pinning its hopes on a significant expansion of background checks for gun buyers, but the prospects for such a measure are far from certain, despite widespread public support. The best chance at a deal appears to rest on eleventh-hour talks between Republican Sen. Pat Toomey of Pennsylvania and conservative Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin of West Virginia.
The White House is far more confident about the prospects for a sweeping immigration deal that could provide a pathway to citizenship for millions of people who now are in the country, tighten border security and crack down on businesses that employ people illegally. But the president is treading carefully on the sensitive issues, wary of disrupting a bipartisan Senate working group that has been laboriously crafting a bill.
The group of four Republicans and four Democrats could unveil that legislation as early as this week, a pivotal development that would open months of debate. While the growing political power of Hispanics may have softened the ground for passage, significant hurdles remain.
Looming over Obama's entire domestic agenda is the economy, including the deficit deal that has long eluded him. The budget Obama will release Wednesday proposes spending cuts and revenue increases that would project $1.8 trillion in deficit reductions over 10 years.
That would replace $1.2 trillion in automatic spending cuts that are poised to take effect over the next 10 years if Congress and the president don't come up with an alternative.
Seeking to soften bipartisan opposition to his budget proposals, Obama will dine Wednesday night with a dozen Republican senators, part of the broader charm offensive he launched in recent weeks.

Florida has had very limited success with junior college players in the past. That trend may be changing.
Florida has had very limited success with junior college players in the past. That trend may be changing.
At defensive tackle, a position of need, the Gators are receiving a big boost this spring from two JC players — senior Damien Jacobs and junior Darious Cummings, former teammates at East Mississippi Community College.
"I've been very pleased with Damien Jacobs," UF coach Will Muschamp said Tuesday. "He's played very square on blocks, doing a nice job of anchoring and playing the double teams and keeping his gaps. I think he's playing his best football since he's been here.
"I think Darious Cummings is probably a little further ahead of where Damien was this time last year, so that's promising for us. Not where he needs to be, let's not get that confused, but certainly ahead of where Damien was at this time last spring. That's promising."
Cummings and Jacobs were two of numerous players Muschamp singled out Tuesday for having a strong spring. The others were offensive linemen Max Garcia and Tyler Moore, tight end Clay Burton, tailback Matt Jones, fullbacks Hunter Joyer and Gideon Ajagbe, defensive end/linebacker Dante Fowler Jr., middle linebacker Antonio Morrison, safety Marcus Maye and cornerback Marcus Roberson. Muschamp said Roberson looks like a different player. "Marcus Roberson is up to 193, 194 (pounds)," Muschamp said. "He's changed his upper body. It's gotten stronger. "He's better on the line of scrimmage in press (coverage). He's more disruptive on receivers and routes. He's made some strides." Ajagbe has been one of the surprises of the spring after making the move to fullback from outside linebacker. He's up to 243 pounds. "I've been very pleased with Gideon," Muschamp said. "He's a guy that's done some nice things in the two-back stuff that we've been doing as far as the run blocking and things. "To be in a new position, I'm very pleased with him." Muschamp said Fowler and Morrison have taken their game to a new level after having productive true freshman seasons in 2012. "Dante Fowler is playing well," he said. "He's rushing the passer well. He's understanding when we're in our 3-4 stuff standing up and moving around. "Antonio Morrison is having a really good spring. He's been very consistent in his performance across the board."

Josiah.clark necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 27 diseños de 3 diseñadores freelance.
Hephaestus Industries
Hephaestus Industries is a design and engineering firm focused on product design and systems solutions. Hephaestus is the Greek God of engineering and technology. The attitude we would like to portray is a serious and precise one with high attention to detail. Innovation, thinking outside the box, and minimalism are all core ideas within the company.
We exist in a multitude of markets, including the IT industry, the government sector, the automobile industry, the aerospace industry, as well as simple every day design projects in daily and household use. If something can be improved or invented we are there in the mix.
General Notes:
Color is at your discretion but I would prefer to have no more than 3 colors. 1 or 2 colors is fine as well.
Design ideas and info on Hephaestus can be found at the following link, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hephaestus
The drawings should be exact and expandable (something that can be used on a billboard, or business card) so the measurements between shapes should be drawn precisely.
This is a two part project.
Part 1.
A. Please see the attached photo titled "Hephaestus Industries Logo Sketch2". This is a VERY rough sketch of the basic design concept I would like to stick with. As can be seen their are four primary components that I would like incorporated into the design: a gear (cog), a hammer, an anvil, and tongs.
B. The Company Name "HEPHAESTUS INDUSTRIES" should be incorporated into the design as well. How you do this and the font you choose at at your discretion but it should be in all caps.
C. The proportions of the shapes in the design must be based on or include the "Golden Ratio" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_ratio).
Part 2.
A. Take the logo design from Part 1, and add a scythe (what the Grim Reaper carries) to the Anvil, Hammer, Tongs and Gear combo (I was thinking maybe inserting it vertically with the blade curving around the gear)
B. Replace the Words from Part 1 with "HEPHAESTUS ARMAMENTS".

Let's take a momentary break from fake basketball to focus a bit on Razzball's real basketball predictions for the 2011 season. I'm of two minds about making preseason predictions about the league on a grand scale. If I'm wrong, I've voluntarily published my wrongness for anyone to see. That's not good for my self-esteem. Then again, if I'm way off, it means the season was full of surprises and it was well worth the time I spent invested in it. Here are our predictions for basketball's post-season awards and who's getting a new banner in their stadium. Adam's picks in RED. Jason's picks in BLUE.
Eastern Conference Playoffs – 1. Miami, 2. Chicago, 3. New York, 4. Philadelphia, 5. Boston, 6. Indiana, 7. Orlando, 8. Atlanta – Same crew as last season, different order. What? You thought John Wall and his merry band of goofballs had a chance? Though I do think Milwaukee will be in a dog fight until the end.
Eastern Conference Playoffs – 1. Miami, 2. Chicago, 3. New York, 4. Boston, 5. Indiana, 6. Philadelphia, 7. Orlando, 8. Atlanta – I'll be awfully surprised if the Miami and Chicago aren't atop the conference; they seem noticeably better than anyone else. As has been pointed out all over the internet, this schedule doesn't favor Boston, which ought to be enough for New York to slide by them for the division (though I'd pick the Celtics to beat them in a playoff series if the Heat and Bulls decide to skip the playoffs). Indiana proved in the first round last season that they're a team on the rise, I like them in this shortened season. If Howard stays in Orlando all season, they'll finish better than this, but I don't think that will happen.
Western Conference Playoffs – 1. Oklahoma City, 2. L.A. Clippers, 3. Dallas, 4. L.A. Lakers, 5. San Antonio, 6. Denver, 7. Memphis, 8. Portland – Much like the Heat last year, ranking this Clippers team second could be way too high or way too low. Anyone that says they know how this team will gel and hold up is full of beans. I know this: Chris Paul has made a career of dragging overrated players and dead carcasses into the playoffs. Imagine what he can do with this roster. Still, the gelling and the youth favors the Thunder. They're largely the same team they were last season, they're gelled, their great and they'll all be one season better, while the usual suspects are all one (big) year slower.
Western Conference Playoffs – 1. Oklahoma City, 2. L.A. Lakers, 3. San Antonio, 4. Denver, 5. Dallas, 6. L.A. Clippers, 7. Memphis, 8. Portland – After Oklahoma City, I expect most of these teams to finish very closely bunched together. The compact schedule ought to favor young, deep teams, but a lot of the top talent is on older teams. It'll be interesting to see how that plays out. I believe the Lakers' demise has been greatly exaggerated and expect their roster to improve by the middle of the season. I am not as sold on the Clippers as many seem to be. Perhaps I've just seen too much of Vinny Del Negro's "coaching" to trust them. San Antonio is being overlooked because they got bumped early last year, but I believe they're still a top team.
Eastern Conference Champion – Miami Heat – Haslem is healthy, Eddy Curry has taken some of the spotlight off the Big Three (by standing in front of the spotlight and blocking it with his mass), Bosh got ripped, Norris Cole and Dexter Pittman are developing and Shane Battier's head wrinkles are the only significant changes the NBA Finalists have made to the roster. The team was strong last season, they're stronger this season.
Eastern Conference Champion – Miami Heat – They were the best team in the conference last season and I don't see Rip Hamilton changing that. Here's to hoping that I'm wrong.
Western Conference Champion – Oklahoma City Thunder – The Lakers ripped away their bench, the Mavericks are either old or fat or both (Vince Carter), and the Clippers are coached by Vinny Del Negro (do not underestimate this. Coaches must either be the smartest men in the building or get out of the way. VDN isn't and won't).
Western Conference Champion – Oklahoma City Thunder – Unless the Lakers swindle their way into Dwight Howard without giving up Gasol, I think the Thunder have to be considered the favorites out west.
NBA Finals Champion – Miami Heat – I'm also predicting they win at home and a nearly ¾-filled stadium is there to see it!
NBA Finals Champion – Miami Heat – It's boring to pick what is probably the consensus Finals' match-up, but it would be very entertaining basketball, should it come to this. It's a question of when, not if this Miami team will win a championship. I think the answer is June, 2012.
Most Valuable Player – Kevin Durant – No one will want to vote for LeBron James … ever again.
Most Valuable Player – Kevin Durant – Lebron is the best player on Earth, but Durant is awesome too, and his narrative will have more pull.
Rookie of the Year – Brandon Knight – The most obvious answer is Kyrie Irving. The most popular answer is Derrick Williams, but I'm going with Knight because: 1) Williams fell into a crowded situation on a mess of a franchise and I don't think he'll have enough opportunity to shine, 2) Irving is on an equally messy franchise and will be asked to carry a team – it's no easy task and no guarantee, especially if the pieces don't fit. 3) Knight on the other hand is on a less messy franchise with ample room to produce, but without the weight of having to be a team leader. He'll play PG, but also run the two alongside Bynum or Stuckey.
Rookie of the Year – Kyrie Irving – ROY is largely about opportunity, and Irving will be given that in large doses.
Most Improved Player – Jrue Holiday – The award recipe goes like this: take one (1) third-year player, mix in marked improvement from the year before that went largely unnoticed, sprinkle in a dash of team winning percentage, whip until stiff peaks occur and voila, you've got yourself Danny Granger, Kevin Love and Jrue Holiday.
Most Improved Player – Evan Turner – I think he'll step up his production, though he could just as easily sit in Collins' doghouse all season. Doug is like that.
Defensive Player of the Year – Dwight Howard – To paraphrase "The Social Network," 'if anyone else were the year's best defender, they'd have won Defensive Player of the Year.' I will say that if I had to pick someone other than Dwight, I'd pick Joakim Noah.
Defensive Player of the Year – Tyson Chandler – Voters will have Dwight Howard fatigue and Chandler will benefit from the Knicks' rise in the standings.
Go ahead and drop your predictions in the comments so that we don't have to go down on record as being fools all by ourselves.

SPJA, week three
During this week I made a momentous (and very late) decision. I was playing around with the new ebook covers and I decided to see what they'd look like with a portion of Dion Hamill's Hal Spacejock from the cover of Hal 3. I snipped out just Hal's head and shoulders, with Jasmin standing next to him, and ... wow! It looked fantastic. (I can't share it because it's a rough hack job and the artist probably wouldn't appreciate me doing this to his work.) What I can do is show you the original cover (left) and the new cover (right) and you can sort of picture the middle third of the original cut out and expanded to cover the black background in the new cover. (Ignore the WASFF award pasted all over the front...)
Anyway, five minutes later I tracked down Dion's email, told him about the re-releases, and asked if he was interested in doing new covers. Impulsive, moi? I also asked about professional cover art for Hal Junior.
Dion is a traditional artist - pencil sketch first, then - I believe - acrylic on board. You can see examples of his work on his website.
Dion wrote back, and let's just say we're organising things. Because Hal Junior is slated for October (ebook and print), it turns out we'll need to do that cover first. Dion was very keen, and he's already got an idea which he's working on as I type this.
Proofing is always an issue for self-published works, but I had a cunning plan. I offer review copies of the first book through my site, and when I send them out I offer the next in the series as a freebie if you find a typo. One eagle-eyed reader scored all four, one after the other, and as a bonus I've offered them a signed copy when the first book is available in print. I uploaded replacement ebook versions of Hal 1 and 2 right away.
While that was happening starting work on DOC versions for Smashwords. Kindle is a given if you want to sell ebooks, thanks to its dominance, but I've read varying opinions on Smashwords. My take on it? Smashwords = distribution to the places Amazon cannot reach, like iTunes and other 3rd parties. Can't be a bad thing, and it's only a few hours work to prepare the file for upload.
I finished that last night, and during the day I also worked on Hal Spacejock 5. I know where this book is going now, and all the Hal activity has rekindled my passion. It's just so awe-inspiring to know the whole process is in my hands: I can finish Hal 5 by Christmas and publish it in January or February if I work hard enough. That's optimistic, but you don't get anywhere without deadlines.
To round off week three, this morning I had an email from a Hal Junior first reader (She's a fan of the adult series.) We hooked up on Skype to discuss her findings: She really enjoyed the book but found a bunch of typos and had a few questions. I ended up with two pages of things to look at, which is great. I also sent her an e-copy of Hal 4, and will send a signed Hal Jnr when I get my first copies.
All in all, three frantic weeks. There are now 20 reviews for Hal Spacejock book one on Amazon, and they're all four and five stars. That's great until someone thinks 'hah - I'll soon fix THAT'.
I'm sure I've missed a lot of stuff but the Freemind map is keeping me sane.
Simon Haynes is the author of the Hal Spacejock and Hal Junior series (Amazon / Smashwords / other formats)

Simon, I've found your SPJA blog informative. I've been trying to decide between self-publishing and the 'traditional' route. I'm bookmarking your SPJA blog pages, by the way.
Oh, and if you ever need a vict... umm I mean a proof-reader, I'm your gal. I've found typos and misused words after the editor finished with a submission. My friend was very glad she'd sent me a copy of the 'final' draft before sending it to her publisher. LOL
I'm looking forward to finally being able to read all of the Hal and Hal Jr. books. I live in the U.S.A. So the books haven't been as easy to get here.
Well, shoot. For a comment, this has turned into a long bit of text. Bowing out for now. Keep up the good work, and ... Happy writing!
- Simon Haynes said...
Thanks for the comment. Self-pub does throw all the organising onto the author, but as I said in one of today's posts, funds permitting you can hire the same people the publishers do.
All my books will be available in print editions in the US and UK (at last), although it's going to be a battle getting the word out.
I will be chasing proofreaders when the editing & humour draft are both done. Thanks for the offer - your name is in the list.

Choosing the appropriate kind of pest control service for your Minneapolis property can often be a challenge. A pest solution is not something that just kills the bugs around your home or garden. Regulating the bugs at the right time making use of right techniques is very important.
This should also enable your home to be pest free for the years to come. Pest support services do not render a one-time job. They are accountable for close monitoring of your home and yard up until they make certain that the location is well protected versus reoccurring pest problems.
The majority of Minneapolis bug bites we experience aren't life-threatening, but they sure can destroy your day. That's why it's good to understand how to stay clear of the most typical sort of bug bites, know how to determine the bite and understand how to implement the proper treatment when you do get bitten.
The topic of removing ants is an interesting one to discuss. The reason is that there is a huge range in the types of ants around Minneapolis, each of them are different in their own way. Removing them depends on the types you are faced with. You must first determine exactly what kind of ant is invading your house, or property.
As you may know, different species of ants can run rampant in Minneapolis. The best way to approach this is to break down treatment approaches by the kind of ants you may encounter. The most widespread species will be covered here and a short discussion of the indicators so you can determine exactly what type of ant it is.
Flea treatments designed for your house or yard can be essential to keeping these parasitic monsters in check. If you have a major flea problem to deal with, not just must you really want to kill the fleas on your animal, you require to think about treating the habitat or home your animal lives in. The eggs and larvae of fleas will be found wherever your animal roams inside your house and outdoors.

Creating Groups is Easy in 9.4
The other day I showed how to use Accordance's Search All feature to find commentaries which discuss a selected passage. In that post, I mentioned that I selected a custom group containing all my commentaries rather than having Accordance search all my modules. In this post, I want to show you how to create such groups—a process which is now made easier by the improved Library searching in Accordance 9.4.
To create a custom group of modules, simply scroll down to the bottom of the Library window until you see a folder labeled My Groups. Click on this folder to select it, then click the gear pop-up at the bottom of the Library window. In the menu that appears, choose Add folder.
Now give your new folder a name. I'm going to place all my Zondervan resources in this folder, so I'll name it Zondervan.
Now that you've created a group, you can add modules to it by dragging them into that folder, or you can select a series of modules, then click the Gear button at the bottom of the Library and choose the name of your group from the Add to User Group submenu.
In this case, I'm just going to enter Zondervan in the search field of the Library window. Instantly I get a listing of nearly fifty modules which have been published by Zondervan. Now I'll just select them all by clicking the first module and shift-clicking the last, then I'll choose my new Zondervan group from the Add to User Group submenu of the Gear pop-up menu.
Just like that, I have a custom group of modules I can use in a Search All or amplify to via the Resource palette or contextual menus.

St. Bonaventure tops Duquesne 68-60
Eric Mosley scored 14 points and led St. Bonaventure as it hit 54.5 percent from 3-point range in handing Duquesne its ninth consecutive loss, 68-60, in Atlantic 10 Conference play Saturday.
The Bonnies (10-10, 3-4) were 12-of-22 shooting from deep, including a 4-of-7 showing by Mosley, who is making 43.7 percent of his 3-point attempts this year.
Jordan Gathers added 13 points on 3-of-3 3-point shooting and Demitrius Conger had 11 for St. Bonaventure, which has won three of its past four since snapping a six-game losing streak.
Sean Johnson, Jeremiah Jones and Kadeem Pantophlet each had 11 points for the Dukes (7-14, 0-7), who have lost seven straight on the road. Derrick Colter added seven assists, including his 100th of the season, making him the eighth Duquesne freshman to reach the plateau during his rookie season.
The Bonnies opened with a 22-13 advantage and led the rest of the way.

Charter to push slate for Time Warner Cable board
STAMFORD, Conn. - Charter Communications Inc. said Tuesday that it's nominating a full slate of 13 candidates for election to Time Warner Cable Inc.'s board as it pushes forward with its $38 billion hostile takeover bid.
Time Warner Cable's management has rejected Charter's cash-and-stock offer of about $132.50 per share, saying it would accept a bid of $160 per share in cash and stock.
Charter said in January that it would take the offer directly to Time Warner Cable shareholders, and it didn't raise its bid on Tuesday. CEO Tom Rutledge said in a statement that there is "overwhelming desire" among shareholders for a merger.
Charter says a combination could cut costs, turn around Time Warner Cable's decline in video customers and benefit from having a larger base of Internet service subscribers.
But Time Warner Cable Chairman and CEO Rob Marcus reiterated his opposition, saying in a statement "we are not going to let Charter steal the company" with a lowball offer.
Charter's board nominees include a couple former cable TV executives including Time Warner Cable's former chief technology officer, James Chiddix and Bruno Claude, former CEO of Switzerland's Cablecom.
The move comes ahead of a Saturday deadline for shareholder proposals for New York-based Time Warner Cable's annual shareholders meeting, which is on May 16 in Saratoga Springs, N.Y.
Charter also wants Time Warner Cable's shareholders to amend the company's bylaws to lock the size of the board at 13 members and to repeal any bylaw changes that were adopted by the board without shareholder approval after July 26, 2012.
Time Warner Cable shares slipped 74 cents to $134.96 in midday trading, a price that suggests the market believes a higher offer is likely. Shares of Stamford, Conn.-based Charter rose 38 cents to $138.

I generate an abstract 128x128 image, that is in general two-color (it uses values scaled between "blue" and "white", or other similar color pair). I need to make the image more "featured".
Currently, I am blending a four color gradient (prepared in a separate 128x128 buffer) via techniques based on equations from gimp docs. The effects are not good – the gradient dominates over the source image.
How to add some "features" to an abstract image, in procedural way? Maybe you have some tested techniques?
EDIT: here is the image – based on Perlin Noise:
