Paperback Edition Of 'Rush Chemistry' Book Due Next Week

According to a posting on the RUSH fan site, Jon Collins' 2005 RUSH biography "Rush Chemistry" will be made available in paperback in North America on Monday, November 1. The book, which was released in the U.K. earlier this month, has been re-proofed and all of the typos, errors and inaccuracies as listed in the addendum have been fixed.

Acclaimed MARILLION biographer Jon Collins draws on hundreds of hours of new interviews to tell the full in-depth story of the enduring Canadian trio who refused to compromise their music and avoided the typical rock and roll lifestyle. From early days in Canada to platinum albums, stadium shows, and the world's stage, taking in tragedy, triumphs, and a wealth of great music, this is the meticulous and definitive study of one of rock's great enigmas. From early triumphs such as the classic concept album "2112", on to their first hit single "Spirit of Radio" and beyond to "Moving Pictures", "Tom Sawyer", and more pop-oriented 1990s material, RUSH has continued to make groundbreaking and original music that has sold in the millions.

Black Bear Camp Men's Retreat

Lodge amidst trees on a sunny day
10565 US Hwy 280 West
PO Box 210
Waverly, AL 36879

Dear friends and members,

Effective immediately, Black Bear Camp is closed. Members who have recently purchased a silver membership will be given a pro-rated refund upon request. Please send the request to since the Black Bear Camp domain may not remain up for long. Be sure to include your name and address and silver membership number from your membership card.

Although we had intended to remain open until the day after Labor Day, the personal stress of operating the camp is damaging my and Wade's relationship. And the large increase in the camp insurance premiums for 2015 was the straw that broke the camel's back.

We have enjoyed our sixteen year and three month run and will forever treasure the good friends and good times.

Sometime later this year the property will be put up for sale after we give somewhat of a face lift. We will try to find a buyer willing to re-open the camp. We will keep the yahoo group open so we can send out any updates on that front.

Of all the things I have done in my life, providing this resource for other gay men is one of the proudest.

But as a wise man said, everything which cannot last forever will end. For Black Bear Camp that time has come.

Good bye and good will,

John and Wade

A private, members only retreat for adult men age 21 or older in a serene, stress-free environment.

Located on 33 secluded, wooded acres two hours by car from Atlanta or Birmingham

Private rooms available in the lodge.

Private rooms & cabins must be prepaid or the reservation will not be honored

Drop-in visitors are discouraged--please call in advance!!

As we are a clothing optional facility, in order to protect the privacy of our guests we are not open to the general public.
Call ahead using the phone number above or use our reservation form.

Latest Blackburn Rovers News

Benni And ALL Top Rovers Staying!

Benni And ALL Top Rovers Staying!

Reports linking Blackburn Rovers star striker Benni McCarthy with other Premiership sides including Chelsea are beginning to anger Mark Hughes.

As is inevitable with Benni being in such fine form (which lets face it we knew he would be with the quality he has and the goalscoring record he brought with him!) other teams are being mentioned in the same breath as Benedict McCarthy.

Hughes is more than keen to retain the services of Benni, with the player equally as happy to stay at Ewood Park and show them the loyalty that maybe others wouldn't or even haven't in the past. Hughes said:

"Whenever I have good players and they have good seasons, people assume they want to leave and I take exception to that."

Clearly the fact that players are constantly being linked with moves away from Ewood is beginning to grind Sparky's gears and so it should. We are a team moving forward (again); sure maybe we won't win the Premiership again for a long, long time if in fact we do again (in my lifetime anyway?) but we are going somewhere and Sparky has us playing some fantastic football for which we are quite rightly starting to gain recognition so why should players want to leave...

Benni has no desire to leave we have no desire for him to leave why can't people leave well enough alone!!! There are only 3, arguably 4 clubs that I would understand players leaving for others thinking they are above us is beginning to become tiresome. We are a very good footballing side now and more than a match for these other 15-16 Premiership sides and ANYONE on our day with A LOT of very good players!

I just think the papers are making things up because the transfer window is so quiet at the moment - they need something to write about. McCarthy and Bentley are two of the Premierships form players so they are "targets" for the tabloids. McCarthy is not a 'bench' type of person - that is one of the reasons he was desperately trying to leave Porto. Bentley has said he wants to stay - so the tabloids should move on to other people.
10/01/2007 11:34:00
the papers do need to sell players to sell papers and its obvious as mentioned above that form players are constantly linked with the 'TOP' teams (so to speak) Bentley would never move into the situation he left @ Arsenal and Benni turned Chelsea in the last couple of years so why move now?? Blackburn are one of the top teams outside the supposed top 4 and play really entertaining football along with the ability to mix it up if and when needed. We are a match for any club in the league on our day and this should be more reconised in the press!! We got the players to move to the club in the 1st place and this is by no way some fluke!
10/01/2007 13:16:00
There would be no point in any of our players leaving for anybody but the top 4. But it isn't just the standard of football that appeals to players these days is it. Location plays a huge part in a players plans as does money on most occasions. Its alright playing good football but key areas such as these play a major part. Clint, you make a good point on the market being quiet and certain players being targeted as wanting a move. Fingers crossed it is all speculation. We need to hold on to the stars we have, especially McCarthy and Bentley.
10/01/2007 14:20:00
It is about time that we started making approaches for other, supposedly top clubs' players. Hopefully we can have an excellent second half of the season like last year and perhaps even win a trophy and shut up all of these 'big clubs' (Spurs and Newcastle in particular). Then we can keep our best players and build around them.
10/01/2007 21:07:00
We WILL win something of this I am sure. Would dearly love to win a Cup double but think the UEFA Cup will be coming to Ewood Park for sure!
Hughes Da Man
10/01/2007 21:57:00
Roversman has a point, Blackburn's players are constantly linked with the other clubs in the Premier League but not the other way around!! And as for Neill being linked with West Ham, thats a joke!!
11/01/2007 15:21:00
I cant see Neill leaving for West Ham , he has spent about six months saying he wants to move to one of Europes top clubs. He would be making a lateral movment. Unless of course he has been lying.
12/01/2007 15:27:00
Furthermore... If Benni doesnt want to go and the papers are constantly saying otherwise... arent they sounding a bit stupid?!?!
12/01/2007 15:36:00
Don't they (the paper) always though Mikey! It depends how much influence Peter Harrison is having; if it comes down to money he'll go where the biggest pay cheque will be picked up.

Trayvon 2? Black Teen Killed in Florida by White Man Over ‘Loud Music’

Is this another Trayvon?

jordan russell davis smilingA 45-year-old white man has been arrested in Brevard County, Florida and remains in jail after shooting a black teenager dead in an argument over loud music, according to the Orlando Sentinel.

Michael David Dunn, 45, and his girlfriend were in Jacksonville Friday when they stopped at a convenience store, according to Jacksonville police.

Jordan Russell Davis, 17, (pictured) was sitting in an SUV with his friends in the parking lot. Dunn pulled up next to them in his car and asked them to turn down their music. Words were exchanged between Jordan and Dunn, and Dunn pulled a gun and shot eight or nine times, hitting Jordan twice. Jordan was sitting in the back seat. Surprisingly, no one else was hurt.

Dunn’s lawyer claims her client “acted responsibly”  and in “self-defense,” though Jordan was unarmed.

  • The problem is young black men are not being taught how to handle confrontational situations, but rather to play the tough guy role, infusing the situation, by sticking your chest out and throwing hands up and assuming the stereotypical gangster thug role “Yo, whassup bitch ass mother fucker” that kind of rhetoric is only going to get you killed because you never know who or what you are going up against! Sometimes you just have to downplay the tough guy thug role and just walk away. I can guarantee this is exactly what happened here and with Trayvon.

    • PAMELA

      No, the problem is scarey-ass white men whose only courage is their gun. I am sure if this guy did not have a gun, he would have not said a word to this black young man. Since I was not there, perhaps Victor is right that the young brother starting talking smack and acting like a gang banger. Nevertheless, he had no reason to shoot the teen unless the teen pulled out a gun, which he did not have.

      • I agree white people act bracvely with a crowd or with a hand guy. other than that they don’t say nothing. unless they are drunk and acting brave.

    • MrRob1369

      Victor your post is well thought out and probably accurate. Pamela it is not only scarey ass white men that carry guns, remember God created man Mr Colt made them equal.

  • bddog

    20 years ago this would not have happened becaus we still respected our elders 50 years ago this would not have happened because young black men feared whites 100 years ago this same outcome would have happened because upity blacks were shot out of hand in the south

    • Black Jesus

      You sir, are a piece of shit. I’ll be laughing my ass off when things start to switch around and upity whites get shot because they get out of hand.

      • Major Wood

        Don’t hold your breath for it to happen, dick face!

  • Cerius

    Fckn racist sh!ts. So it’s the kids fault because he told the old creep to mind his own business. If people stopped trying to run everything especially white people then sh!t would be a lot simpler. As Pamala said if this scary a++ creep didn’t have a pistol he’d never said sh!t to these brothers. Everyone should learn to respect others. Both black and white, young and old, men and women.

  • Native Pride

    Are you kidding me, black people only talk tough when they have there homeboys with and when they have a gun.

  • rick

    ok I will try to keep this short, first of all why is he considered a white man when I thought he was of hispanic descent, and I thought trevon looked brown. Everything in this world is not black and white, sometimes there are other colors, and I think the truth will come out, one way or another. WHERE IS THE LOVE?

(1934) W.E.B. Du Bois, “A Negro Nation Within a Nation"

Image Ownership: Public Domain
W.E.B Du Bois, a founding member of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) through most of his life was a staunch integrationist.  In 1934 however he advanced the argument that since integration would not happen in the nation any time soon, African Americans had to take steps to develop their own economic and political resources independent of white help and support.  Du Bois gave this speech on June 26, 1934 as he resigned from the NAACP.

No MORE CRITICAL SITUATION ever faced the Negroes of America than that of today-not in 1830, nor in 1861, nor in 1867. More than ever the appeal of the Negro for elementary justice falls on deaf ears.

Three-fourths of us are disfranchised; yet no writer on democratic reform, no third-party movement says a word about Negroes. The Bull Moose crusade in 1912 refused to notice them; the La Follette uprising in 1924 was hardly aware of them; the Socialists still keep them in the background. Negro children are systematically denied education; when the National Educational Association asks for federal aid to education it permits discrimination to be perpetuated by the present local authorities. Once or twice a month Negroes convicted of no crime are openly and publicly lynched, and even burned; yet a National Crime Convention is brought to perfunctory and unwilling notice of this only by mass picketing and all but illegal agitation. When a man with every qualification is refused a position simply because his great-grandfather was black, there is not a ripple of comment or protest.

Long before the depression Negroes in the South were losing "Negro" jobs, those assigned them by common custom-poorly paid and largely undesirable toil, but nevertheless life-supporting. New techniques, new enterprises, mass production, impersonal ownership and control have been largely displacing the skilled white and Negro worker in tobacco manufacturing, in iron and steel, in lumbering and mining, and in transportation. Negroes are now restricted more and more to common labor and domestic service of the lowest paid and worst kind. In textile, chemical and other manufactures Negroes were from the first nearly excluded, and just as slavery kept the poor white out of profitable agriculture, so freedom prevents the poor Negro from finding a place in manufacturing. The worldwide decline in agriculture has moreover carried the mass of black farmers, despite heroic endeavor among the few, down to the level of landless tenants and peons.

The World War and its wild aftermath seemed for a moment to open a new door; two million black workers rushed North to work in iron and steel, make automobiles and pack meat, build houses and do the heavy toil in factories. They met first the closed trade union which excluded them from the best paid jobs and pushed them into the low-wage gutter, denied them homes and mobbed them. Then they met the depression.

Since 1929 Negro workers, like white workers, have lost their jobs, have had mortgages foreclosed on their farms and homes, have used up their small savings. But, in the case of the Negro worker, everything has been worse in larger or smaller degree; the loss has been greater and more permanent. Technological displacement, which began before the depression, has been accelerated, while unemployment and falling wages struck black men sooner, went to lower levels and will last longer.

The colored people of America are coming to face the fact quite calmly that most white Americans do not like them, and are planning neither for their survival, nor for their definite future if it involves free, self-assertive modern manhood. This does not mean all Americans. A saving few are worried about the Negro problem; a still larger group are not ill-disposed, but they fear prevailing public opinion. The great mass of Americans are, however, merely representatives of average humanity. They muddle along with their own affairs and scarcely can be expected to take seriously the affairs of strangers or people whom they partly fear and partly despise.

For many years it was the theory of most Negro leaders that this attitude was the insensibility of ignorance and inexperience, that white America did not know of or realize the continuing plight of the Negro.  Accordingly, for the lat two decades, we have striven by book and periodical, by speech and appeal, by various dramatic methods of agitation, to put the essential facts before the American people.  Today there can be no doubt that Americans know the facts; and yet they remain for the most part indifferent and unmoved.

The peculiar position of Negroes in America offers an opportunity.  Negroes today cast probably 2,000,000 votes in a total of 40,000,000 and their vote will increase.  This gives them, particularly in northern cities, and at critical times, a chance to hold a very considerable balance of power and the mere threat of this being used intelligently and with determination may often mean much.  The consuming power of 2,800,000 Negro families has recently been estimated at $166,000,000 a month—a tremendous power when intelligently directed.  Their manpower as laborers probably equals that of Mexico or Yugoslavia.  Their illiteracy is much lower than that of Spain or Italy.  Their estimated per capita wealth about equals that of Japan.

For a nation with this start in culture and efficiency to sit down and await the salvation of a white God is idiotic.  With the use of their political power, their power as consumers, and their brainpower, added to that chance of personal appeal which proximity and neighborhood always give to human to human beings, Negroes can develop in the United States an economic nation within a nation, able to work through inner cooperation to found its own institutions, to educate its genius, and at the same time, without mob violence or extremes of race hatred, to keep in helpful touch and cooperate with the mass of the nation.  This has happened more often than most people realize, in the case of groups not so obviously separated from the mass of people as are American Negroes.  It must happen in our case or there is no hope for the Negro in America.

Any movement toward such a program is today hindered by the absurd Negro philosophy of Scatter, Suppress, Wait, Escape.  There are even many of our educated young leaders who think that because the Negro problem is not in evidence where there are few or no Negroes, this indicates a way out!  They think that the problem of race can be settled by ignoring it and suppressing all reference to it.  They think that we have only to 3wait in silence for the white people to settle the problem for us; and finally and predominantly, they think that the problem of twelve million Negro people, mostly poor, ignorant workers, is going to be settled by having their more educated and wealthy classes gradually and continually escape from their race into the mass of the American people, leaving the rest to sink, suffer and die.

Proponents of this program claim, with much reason, that the plight of the masses is not the fault of the emerging classes.  For the slavery and exploitation that reduced Negroes to their present level or at any rate hindered them from rising, the white world is to blame.  Since the age-long process of raising a group is through the escape of its upper class into welcome fellowship with risen peoples, the Negro intelligentsia would submerge itself if it bent its back to the task of lifting the mass of people.  There is logic in this answer, but futile logic.

If the leading Negro classes cannot assume and bear the uplift of their own proletariat, they are doomed for all time.  It is not a case of ethics; it is a plain case of necessity.  The method by which this may be done is, first, for the American Negro to achieve a new economic solidarity.

It may be said that this matter of a nation within a nation has already been partially accomplished in the organization of the Negro church, the Negro school and the Negro retail business, and despite all the justly due criticism, the result has been astonishing.  The great majority of American Negroes are divided not only for religious but for a large number of social purposes into self-supporting economic units, self-governed, self-directed.  The greatest difficulty is that these organizations have no logical and reasonable standards and do not attract the fines, most vigorous and best educated Negroes.  When all these things are taken into consideration it becomes clearer to more and more American Negroes that, through voluntary and increased segregation, by careful autonomy and planned economic organization, they may build so strong and efficient a unit that twelve million men can no longer be refused fellowship and equality in the United States.

I have started a blender gpu benchmark in cycles to compare the performance on different gpu's in cycles.

I have created a benchmark that compares different gpu's in cycles. The benchmark is currently Nvidia only because Opencl is not fully inplemented. Multi gpu support will be avalibe onece it becomes a full feature.

How to use it

  1. Roeland Janssens on

    When will ATI cards be supported? Half of the community is essentially being alienated here when they don't have an Nvidia CUDA card. Please create wider support for GPUs instead of adding tons of fun features for the 20% of the community that have a supported card. Thank you.

    • it's not blender's fault. read some of the forum threads about it. opencl is behind cuda feature wise and aditionally amd's drivers are buggy.

    • So is it 'Half of the Community' or '20% of the community' or some other random and self serving percentile?
      I guess I'll make some broad sweeping statements with little to nothing to support my point other than my own little ideas of how the world should run too :

      Anyone that is a serious content creator uses an Nvidia card. Generally what informed, intelligent people do is that they make their purchasing decisions based on one's requirements and the capabilities of the item to be purchased. Not demand that other people bend over backwards to to cater to their means.

      Well... that's what 20% of the people do at least.

      • So those who use AMD cards are not intelligent and it could not be because it is what they use as a company, and have no control over those decisions. No, they must be ignorant and clearly not very good when it comes to being a 3D Artist. You should continue to make broad sweeping statements with little or nothing to support your points. You're an ignorant and pathetic tool.

        • Oh, I'm sorry... You work for a company ! Goodness me. I had no idea. Well of course Cyles working on AMD GPUs should take top priority. Stop all other development and let's just get this nut cracked! C'mon people ... We got a guy that works for a COMPANY over here !!!! Lord knows that companies never make bad purchasing decisions and that every man-jack  what works for a company is paragon of perspicuity. And I just bet your a fantastic 3d artist to boot.And while you're at it... I got these Matrox boards...

          • I for one am very excited to see some "serious content" of yours, mister Man, sir. If you would be so kind, i'm sure we could all learn a hell of a lot from you. If not 3D related, at least some interesting communicational skills, that will surely get us far in life.

          • Gman, you are possibly the most ignorant and arrogant person i have ever had the displeasure of having to reply to, what you say about people not being intelligent for choosing AMD is a load of bullsh!t, i have a £2000 extreme workstation that i bought specifically for 3D modeling, and its all AMD stuff, but because i spent so much i got extremely powerful hardware, much higher than i could get from Nvidia/intel for the same money.
            By the way, if you want to know if i can create good models have a look at the image below, its my most recent one, not finished but good enough to shut you up.
            just everyone known im not a fanboy of AMD, i just prefer to spend my money on what will suit my needs more effectively, i also have another computer which is an Intel/Nvidia build.

          • Bizla I do agree that this guy is a
            Please Insert Bad Word Here_____.
            however I have looked into why ATI is not yet supported
            and it seams that nvidea has some sort of technical advantage over the ATI cards
            which is making it difficult for the developers to support the ATI cards

            i would personaly love to be able to use my gpu for live rendering but it is an ati so i feel your pain

    • Michael Dawkins on

      20%... Don't be silly...
      People serious about GPU rendering chose their configuration in consequence.
      Blender is not a toy.

      • I agree. Vendor of professional software also often have quite limited specs. Autodesk inventor used to be quite picky about video hardware.

        Getting a new videocard costs nothing compared to license costs. This is why people don't complain when it comes to proprietary software. With blender we are used to getting good stuff for free. Now, we will have to invest. I did. I just installed a gtx 550. It renders about 100x faster then my poor cpu.

    • Promise they would... when exactly? I'm a big fan of ATI, i feel they offer a lot more bang per buck, yet i might consider upgrading my 4890 somewhere down the line and would like to know how things stand. Can we expect this catching up to be done within give or take 6 months or are we talking about a year (or two)?

        • AMD can do OPENCL... Ton just said they promised they'd catch up ("We can only wait for ATI/AMD to catch up - which they promised they would." - Ton). Hence my question.

          I'm aware the 4890 doesn't work, because i have it and... well, it doesn't work.

  2. angry ati card owner on

    I hope that their (AMD/ATI) support will come early with their new 7970,7950 cards or my 6950 will fly to a trash can :)

  3. Better keep track of the operating system as well.  The other benchmark shows that linux systems render considerably faster than windows.

  4. It should not take much time to write a Python script that automate a bunch of tests, and then send the results through a POST to some web service. If I had the time I would definitely do it.

  5. maybe you should add a viewport benchmark, because thats where NVIDIA fails big time.... i havent even looked at the results yet but i expect the worst performing viewport cards to perform best in cycels...

    • as expected. if someone buys a GPU because of this list he will have the worst blender experience he can get except for rendering.

  6. Anyone have problems using a NVidia 3200 Quadro? It renders fine, just isn't any faster than CPU even though it has 192 cores and the latest NVidia drivers.

  7. I have a Quadro FX 580. Doesn't work at all. Shader model 4 is not recognized. Says 1.0. There is some fixing to do, obviously.

  8. CUDA will last for 3 years... top. After that, OpenCL will take over, because more companies are investing in this technology. Look it up. Of course because of CUDA boom, is better to have Nvidia card and 3 years is a lifetime for graphic card, so i understand why developers are focused on CUDA.

    • maybe or maybe not though for right now the APIs in OpenCL do not exists yet for the developers of Blender to take advantage of thus more work is being done on CUDA the on OpenCL. The current projects i see happening are actually neither as both are on hold at the moment anyways for OpenMP to be integrated better and for new independent features separate from CUDA and OpenCL. Personally yeah i would like to see OpenCL surpass CUDA in what it can do and in speed as then i will be able to get the faster AMD cards with more Graphics RAM as nVidia right now doesn't have as much speed or Graphics RAM on the cards as AMD which most likely will change soon to be the other way around again.

  9. Thanks for these banchmarks! Although I'm not sure how useful they will be.. I see 2 benchmarks for EVGA GeForce GTX 560ti, one with a render time of 5:30 the other 9:53, this is a huge difference in time for the same video card. I think it would be more useful to include more information with these benchmarks, CPU, OS, video and ram memory-type etc..

    @Roeland Janssens "20% of the community that have a supported card"
    Actually majority of grapic artists use nvidia, not AMD.. for many reasons, good linux drivers is one of them. AMD is great for games, entertainment.. So Roeland, I guess you have to decide if you want to play games or create 3D graphics? In the 90's I had a choice once between 3dfx and 3D Labs, to me the choice was obvious.

    Anyway, nvidia is awesome for games as well, so it's a win win! :P

    Eventually, openCL will be implemented, open standards are great.. :)

    • Chris Randolph on

      I see 2 benchmarks for EVGA GeForce GTX 560ti, one with a render time of 5:30 the other 9:53, this is a huge difference in time for the same video card."

      Actually, one of those is an EVGA Geforce *550* Ti.

      • No, there were TWO "EVGA GeForce GTX 560ti" benchamrks, one with a render time of 5:30 the other 9:53, but after I made the post here they removed the 9:53 time benchmark.

  10. Wow, what a crappy renderer, it took m8:s34.18 rendering CUDA and h1:m4:s46.87 with my CPU's.
     My system is 16core dual Opteron 2.3ghz, 32gb ram and a Quadro 4000 video card, by what I've seen on the results sheet my machine is slower than the slowest. When I am rendering with Softimage or Maya my CPU's are up at 100%, but with Cycles, the average system load is less than 25% max.
    Not very impressed!!!

  11. does anybody with two or more SLI Cards try Cycles render??? new GeForce GTX 590 has a 1024 CUDA cores. So can we use 2048 or 3072 cores? And does anybody know why the Best GTX card has 1024 cores and best QUADRO only 448 ???

      • Actually that is wrong. If you check out the source code there is a MultiDevice class that abstracts any number of devices. It doesn't work (quite) right yet but most of the multi-gpu code is there.

  12. You guys freaking out about CUDA should relax a bit. Cycles works on OpenCL right now. Check out the source and build it! It's not finished, but it's 90% working.

  13. I believe you should ask your users to also supply their CPU model. From the looks of the results, CPU does have a non-negligeable effect on the score.

    For example, my Geforce 560 Ti runs on a Q6600. Scores for a 560 Ti in your database vary from 4 minutes to 6 minutes, that's a 50% range! That size range is improbable with the same graphics chipset and memory. Whether the graphics card is run on a celeron or an i7 should and will also make a difference, as the GPU only does a part of the processing.

    • I agree and that is why i am going with a Geforce 620 but with a i5-3330 as the CPU will have to compile blender before i can use it and even though the 620 has less CUDA cores then the 560Ti they are asuppose to be as good as double that amount from what i have read on nvidia sites. In that the better CPU will enable better importing and exporting from the scripts in 2.64.9 SVN build

Repent, Harlan's Holiday Work at Belmont

Repent, runner-up in last month's Travers Stakes (gr. I), worked five furlongs in 1:00.65 Sunday at Belmont in preparation for the Jockey Club Gold Cup (gr. I) Sept. 28.

The clocking was the third fastest of 20 moves at the distance for the 3-year-old son of Louis Quatorze.

Trained by Kenny McPeek, Repent will be making his second start in the Gold Cup since having surgery to remove a bone chip from his left ankle in April. He has earned more than $1.2 million in only nine career starts for his owner, Select Stable.

Harlan's Holiday, former stablemate of Repent who is now in the barn of Todd Pletcher, is also a possibility for the Gold Cup. The 3-year-old son of Harlan drilled five furlongs on Sunday in 1:02.60, 12th fastest of the day. Harlan's Holiday won the Pennsylvania Derby (gr. III) on Sept. 2 in his most recent outing.

Harlan's Holiday, off 3 ½ months since his fourth-place finish in the Preakness Stakes (gr. I) in May, has earned $1,816,564 for owners Jack and Laurie Wolf.

Owning a Piece of Your Childhood

After a lull, animation art -- the hand-painted images that were used to make cartoons in the days before digital -- are poised to take off

You wouldn't expect Donald "Buzz" Ackerman, a senior vice-president at Salomon Smith Barney, to be fooling around with kid stuff. But in his off hours, this no-nonsense exec is a passionate collector of animation art -- the drawings, watercolor paintings, and hand-painted celluloid images ("cels," in collector lingo) used to make classic cartoons. He loves owning a tiny piece of the cartoons he grew up watching as a child.

"The brokerage business is tough, especially these days," Ackerman says. "But every night, I go home and look at my collection for 10 or 15 minutes, and I enjoy every minute of it."

If you, too, loved cartoons as a kid, now is a good time to jump into collecting. The animation art market boomed in the 1980s and early 1990s, when big buyers such as film directors Steven Spielberg and George Lucas were bidding up prices, and coveted images of classic Walt Disney characters such as Mickey Mouse topped $200,000. But by the mid-1990s, prices had dropped by as much as 20%, and they haven't budged much since. Now, vintage work is increasingly hard to find, and prices are due for a resurgence, says Dana Hawkes, a Sotheby's senior vice-president. "If you have the money, now's the time to buy."

Animation art doesn't seem as if it would be rare. Animators made hundreds of sketches and watercolor background scenes for each cartoon and used dozens of hand-painted cels per second to capture each increment of a character's movements. But studios typically threw out or recycled old cels and drawings during the 1960s because they weren't considered valuable.

Some important pieces survived only because employees took them home. Noel Blanc, whose father Mel was the voice of Bugs Bunny and many other characters, remembers that in the '40s and '50s, his dad saved thousands of Warner Brothers cels -- but would give handfuls to any kid who knocked at the front door. Few are being produced these days. Digital imaging has replaced hand-painting, and Disney (whose cels are the crème de la crème to most collectors) now keeps original sketches and drawings from its features for its archives.

The market is tricky. Tons of animation art is available on eBay and through galleries at malls and Disney theme parks. But much of it is limited-edition reproductions created by the studios expressly for retail sale. The best of these are beautiful, hand-done scenes from classic cartoons that retail for up to $4,000 -- but it's unclear how valuable they'll become because they were created in editions of up to 500. Most serious collectors prefer the rarity and historical connection of vintage production images that were actually used to make a cartoon. "There's nothing like being able to freeze-frame a DVD down to the exact image you own," says Rob Jaiven, owner of Cuckoo Comics & Collectibles in Sunrise, Fla.

Ackerman and his wife, Sharon, began buying reproductions in the early 1990s and spent a couple of years studying the subject and questioning dealers before graduating to more expensive vintage cels. In the process, Buzz developed a rapport with experts at Sotheby's and top dealers such as Cuckoo Comics & Collectibles (cuckoocomics.com), Great American Ink in Los Angeles (greatamericanink.com), and Gifted Images Gallery on Long Island (800 726-6708). The couple has paid more than $30,000 for items such as a pair of tiny watercolors of Snow White by famed Disney artist Gustaf Tenggren, but they still comparison shop. "You can pay all sorts of prices for this stuff," says Buzz. He and his wife have spent "in excess of $500,000" for the 43 vintage pieces they own.

Costliest are vintage images from early Disney classics such as Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937), the first feature-length animated film, and Pinocchio (1940). Typically, major characters in familiar scenes are most prized -- full face, eyes wide open, is better than in profile or with eyes in mid-blink or closed. A cel of Snow White singing at the well might go for $3,000 to $5,000 with eyes shut and $5,000 to $7,000 with eyes open, says Hawkes of Sotheby's. The price shoots into the stratosphere ($20,000 and up) if the original background is included. While thousands of cels were created to capture each tiny character movement, the background stayed the same through whole sequences of action -- so background paintings are far rarer than cels.

If your budget is limited, cels of minor characters in Disney and Warner Brothers cartoons go for a few hundred dollars. Drawings and sketches done by animators at those studios generally sell for $500 to $3,000, says Great American Ink. The price rises if a famous artist is involved. Great American Ink has priced a four-panel storyboard of Bugs Bunny drawn by celebrated cartoonist Chuck Jones at $3,750.

Art from TV cartoons tends to be cheaper than work from animated features: Original cels from Hanna-Barbera's The Flintstones and The Jetsons go for as little as $250. Even with the original hand-painted background, they can be had for $4,000 or less. If you prefer contemporary cartoons, a few are produced the old-fashioned way. The Simpsons is done by hand (in Asia), and you can find cels of Bart and Homer for a few hundred dollars.

Veteran collectors say that buying an image you love -- and waiting until the right one comes along -- is the most important advice they can give. The Ackermans sometimes look for two or three years before finding the image they really want. "If we can't say 'wow,' we don't buy it," Buzz says. That's a good rule for any collector to follow.

There's a new kid on the crowded job board walk. As TechCrunch's Mike Arrington tells it:

A good percentage of emails coming to me every day are from people asking me which companies are hiring, or from companies asking me if I know someone who would be a good fit for a job.

I keep a separate email folder with these emails and introduce people as often as possible. But this isn’t a scalable system, and I wanted to do more to match companies with people. So we built a job board and launched it today at Now these people can connect directly.

Listings are $200 a pop, which makes me think Mike's being modest about his ambitions here.

The exclusive license covers technology for patient tailored, optimized arc-trajectories aim at minimizing radiation dose to organs at risk without compromising target coverage. The new algorithm creates a suitability ranking for every gantry- and couch-position based on geometric overlap of multiple risk organs and the target volume, and considers the relative depth of structures and dose tolerances. The algorithm can reward regions of approach which allow the most rapid dose fall-off toward specific organs at risk.

went to the game last nite. super hungover, tired, and disappointed.

my takes on the issues with the pens last nite

-the no offsides on the briere's first goal was really bad. when you see it live and know without replay that it's offsides it's a bad call. did it decide the game, imo no. the pens were absolutely owned in the 2nd and 3rd periods. the game could've been 7-3 if not for some ridiculous fleury saves

-pens defense is atrocious. i know bylsma is all about "a good offense makes a good defense" but that performance last nite was pretty pathetic. only letang played good in the defensive end. martin and michalek are huge disappointments this season and are looking like one of shero's only poor moves as GM. orpik had a bad game and the forward backcheck just wasn't there

-breakaways and odd man breaks have to come to an end. over the last month i've never seen so many of these against us. if fleury doesn't stuff Jagr on a breakaway in the first it's 2-1 and a completely different game

-Pens powerplay is NIAGP (not in a good place). not really sure what to do but the first line looks like they are all lost in where they should set up and are rotating all over the place. My one thought is that sullivan should be on and kunitz off.

-not sure what it looked like on TV but live the game was super physical. 49 hits between the two after the first period blew my mind

-hated the orpik interference call. the refs absolutely blew last nite missing several clear cut penaltys on both teams.

-loved the people dressed up like bears. heard some post game interviews of the flyers who also found it amusing.

-Awesome comeback by the Flyers they absolutely owned the Pens in every detail of the game after the first period.

pens are in a must win situation. going to grab some game 5 tickets.

I knew you would try and go back to me stealing scans. SHOW PROOF! I just showed proof of you being a scammer, SO PUT UP OR SHUT UP? You said you were going to lay out your case in a thread about this, still waiting jackwagon! There is nothing to post about me, because I have nothing to hide and I dont steal like you.

Your time here is up, good bye! How about you shoot ME your phone number, I would be glad to call you a scammer on the phone as well. You want to tell me i steal scans off ebay on the phone too?

It took all but 5 seconds to google your name so see your history. And now everyone else can see as well. Will be waiting on proof of the accusation of stealing scans.... Thats what I thought tough guy, you dont have jack because I got a scanner right on my desk. Im not hiding, I am right in the heart of Palm Desert, CA and you are more than welcome to come say this to my face at any point, will be waiting.

Your feedback says it all, you screwed a ton of people over. But because someone screwed YOU its ok right? Well thats a thing called Karma, you screwed people and then YOU got taken. You are the coward buddy, at least I dont steal car parts for crappy little rice rockets.

Bottom line, you picked a fight that you can't win. You want to accuse me of stealing scans and being a crappy seller? The proof is out there on who is a loser and who isnt. Keep hitting google hard trying to find something on me, wont happen.

Our members need to be protected from losers like yourself. Will forward all this proof of you being a scammer to the mods, maybe they can toss you out of here, we dont want or need you here.

I will only respond to you again when the proof of my selling practices you say are backed up with proof.

Again, how does this have to do with a "bad month"

March 2010 Horrible packaging and Dead cd player
August 2009 Very hard to get ahold of, slow shipping time and poor packaging.
July 2009 recieved part destroyed and then seller stopped responding to pm's to solve issu
May 2009 Never shipped item and ignored all PM's and emails
Jan 2009 IGNOR pm & e-mailI. paid $ 250 a month ago
September 2008 Item Never Arrived; No Refund; Poor Communication

Thats more than a bad month. Try again

Yesterday was another GREAT mailday. They are really rolling in now for me!! Two more successes, one Red Sox (again) and one Yankee.

Hideki Okajima c/o RED SOX ST 13 DAYS 2/2 (AGAIN!)
In my first results post, I had a pretty bad signature from Okajima and it came out horribly. I did a little searching in the B/S/T section and bought a couple of nice Okeys off elainebenice. Thanks!! The sig comes out great on these!!

Curtis Granderson c/o Yankees ST 14 DAYS 0/1-POSTCARD
This is a success, even though he didn't sign the card I sent him. Can't read this sig, but still a great player (even though he's a Yank) and a nice success.

Search for high school principal causing anxiety

District asking community for input on replacement

By Brenda Sexton

The Courier-Herald

The search for a principal to replace Terry Parker at Enumclaw High School has just barely begun and already the anxiety is surfacing.

Parker's vacancy was the hot topic of discussion during the Enumclaw School Board's regular meeting March 21 as concerns arose for a fair and open hiring process and the district outlined a detailed timeline for the process.

The board even changed the date of its April 17 regular meeting to April 24 to accommodate the announcement of a hire.

Parker, who has led Enumclaw High the past 14 years, was tapped for the district's curriculum and assessment director vacancy. In addition to Parker, the district is also searching for a replacement for EHS assistant principal Joe Kristof, who recently announced his retirement.

“There seems to be a high level of anxiety about it,” district Human Resources Director LeaAnna Portmann said. “It's an important, critical job that touches a lot of people.”

During her presentation to the board and in a phone conversation, Portmann said the hiring process is straightforward with extra opportunities, this time, for community input.

At the meeting, Portmann noted the interview committee will likely include some members of the teaching staff, community members Cathy Rigg (chamber of commerce director) and Mark Bauer (city administrator), Enumclaw Middle School Principal Steve Rabb, Parker, Portmann and a classified employee.

According to Portmann, the position has been posted and will close April 7. Screening interviews are expected to begin April 10 with additional interviews slated for April 17. The principal is expected to begin July 1.

Among the criteria the district is looking for - beyond the appropriate credentials, experience and strong leadership skills - is the ability to develop positive, supportive and collaborative working relationships with students, staff, parents and community members and an ability to lead the school's administrative and leadership teams in implementing the school mission and goals for improvement.

The position is posted for a 260-day contract with a salary ranging between $86,466 and $96,748 with medical, dental, vision, life insurance, professional dues and travel benefits.

Also at the meeting, Enumclaw Education Association President Kerry Malidore said placing small school liaison representatives automatically on the committee was not a popular decision by her group. Teachers, she said, had a highly-vested interest in the selection and wanted more latitude in choosing who would represent them on the committee.

In response to Malidore's request, Portmann said each small school selected its own representative on the committee.

Friday, District Superintendent Art Jarvis sent a letter home to families of eighth through 11th-grade students inviting them to attend a meeting at 6 p.m. April 5 in the Enumclaw High library.

At this meeting the district will be listening to parents' concerns and drawing up a list of characteristics to look for in the search.

In the letter, Jarvis also said the district plans to bring two finalists to a facilitated question-and-answer time with parents and community members at 6 p.m. April 19, again in the Enumclaw High library.

For those unable to attend the meeting Jarvis is taking suggestions by e-mail at

Portmann and Parker are also scheduled to meet with high school staff Wednesday morning to get their thoughts on the characteristics of a principal. The pair also planned to meet in the afternoon with a number of select students to pick their brains as well.

The district plans to fill Kristof's position before hiring a principal, a move one boardmember questioned.

Portmann said the decision was based on the large number of assistant principal positions open across the state with a limited number of candidates.

“We didn't want to be two weeks behind the hiring curve,” she said.

The district plans to fill Kristof's position shortly after conducting interviews on April 5. The recommendation committee will consist of two to three teachers, Kristof, Parker, Thunder Mountain Middle School Assistant Principal Ginger Callison, Jarvis and Portmann. Students will be invited to give the candidates school tours and report their own impressions of the final two or three candidates.

The Blue Ridge Yarns Company

Important Announcement

Thank you for visiting Blue Ridge Yarns!

We've made some important changes to our business, please continue reading!

First, we want to thank our many loyal customers over the years. Our customers are the reason Blue Ridge Yarns has become one of the most successful and well-known independent wholesalers of quality hand-dyed yarns!

However, because of industry-wide trends, we've found that many customers are no longer willing or able to place orders in quantities substantial enough for us to continue operating under a wholesale model.

As such, we are announcing that Blue Ridge Yarns will no longer fulfill wholesale orders, and we will only accept retail orders from this point forward. We apologize to our many customers affected by this transition, but we feel this deicsion will allow us to further improve our products and ultimately create a better experience for the end-users of our yarn.

Where to Buy

Until such time that we're able to launch our own online store, you may phone in orders at 540-937-4707, or you may purchase online through our exclusive distributor, Misty Mountain Farm, at

Thank you for your understanding, we appreciate your continued business. Please don't hesitate to call or e-mail us at

Transforming lives on four continents

Response: Biblical creation

Not everybody enjoyed The Science Issue of Mission Catalyst. Wendy Sharpless has responded here.

Many articles in the Science Issue of Catalyst were written by theistic evolutionists – Christians who believe God used evolution, but many Christians – theologians, scientists and lay-people believe in Biblical creation – God created just as stated in Genesis.  Genesis 1-11 is a straight forward historical account of origins and the early history of mankind.  The world is some 6,000+ years old (calculated from genealogies and history in Scripture) therefore Biblical creationists are also called Young Earth Creationists.

If the Big Bang and biological evolution really happened, there are very serious consequences – God is robbed of His glory and Scripture loses its integrity.

Belief in the Big Bang leads to such thoughts as ‘we’re lucky to be here.....when it comes to the question of fine-tuning of the universe...’ (p7, Catalyst Science Issue)  Luck?  No – God is totally omniscient and omnipotent.  He designed and created a fine-tuned universe including our solar system and our earth just right for human existence.  By His mighty power God spoke everything into existence – Genesis 1 and Psalm 33:6-9.  He is not a puny impotent god of evolution – using chance mutations, trial and error or a cruel god using death and disease in a ‘struggle for existence.’  God’s creation was ‘very good’ – death came as a result of Adam’s sin.

God is proclaimed as the almighty Creator throughout the whole of the Bible – not just in Genesis 1 & 2 but also in e.g. Exodus 20:11, Nehemiah 9:6, Job 38, the Psalms, Isaiah 40:26,28, John 1:1-3, Acts 14:15, and finally in Revelation 4: 11.  Believing in creation transforms our concept of God.  The OT and NT saints addressed Him as ‘Sovereign LORD’ when they prayed – we too can have total confidence in this kind of God.

I noticed a lack of Scripture in the Catalyst articles.  God is a God of revelation and He has given us His inspired written Word – 2 Timothy 3:16,17, Psalm 119:90.  This whole Psalm emphasises the importance of God’s Word.  Surely God would have told us if He used evolution.  Would He really mislead us?  If Genesis 1-11 is myth, the whole of Scripture becomes in doubt.

We were not there to observe the beginning, but God was and He has told us what happened – Job 38:4.

‘Science involves measuring, collecting, or calculating anything that can be measured, collected or calculated’ (p3 Catalyst Science Issue) – all scientific observations in the present, but what happened in the distant past is not subject to scientific analysis therefore evolution can never be a scientific fact – it is one model of origins.  All scientists have the same observed evidence in front of them, but interpret this evidence according to their belief/worldview – evolutionism or creationism.

The Bible is not a science textbook but it is never found to contradict science.  The fact that God created perfectly designed complete complex creatures fits with the increasing knowledge of very great complexity in cells, body systems and organs.  All their parts interact – all parts must be present at once.  Living systems are irreducibly complex.

God created basic ‘kinds’.  Creationists envisage 1000s of kind-trees rather than the single evolutionary Tree of Life:

Within each kind there has been rapid diversification to produce modern species especially since the global Flood – using only the created genome.  Genes have been switched ‘on’ and ‘off’ or lost by mutation and genes and chromosomes carrying genes, shuffled.  However the production of new/novel DNA/genes needed for evolution has never been observed.  Observed mutations are always a loss of genetic information.

BMW could offer more powerful batteries for the i3 model

For most electric cars out there, the biggest problem still remains range, and this applies to the new BMW i3, too.

In its standard guise, the BMW i3 can reach 135 km, a respectable distance for the small car intended for city use.

If that seems too little for you, the i3 also comes with a range extender variant. The range extender is basically a motorcycle engine in the back that acts like a generator, instead of delivering power directly to the wheels. But what if you want more miles and still care to remain 100% clean?

Well, nothing official was announced by German car maker BMW, but their Spanish site might have let slip a bit of information. During a BMW i3 configuration, a user noticed an interesting option called “Bateria de mayor potencia”, which basically means a more powerful battery. Could this slip-up be a preview of things to come or just an unfortunate error on their part? I guess we will know in the weeks to come.
