Well, this was a bit of a comedy of errors, but we are so pleased with the result. Yesterday we announced we were looking for a name for the new book/coffeehouse forum, so we put the idea out there for suggestions in a thread. There were so very many GREAT ideas, and we knew we would get something to work with, because there are a lot of bright and creative minds here.
When I saw Jorline's idea, "Hardback Cafe", and the reaction to it, it was clear Jorline was really onto something. Somewhere in my sleep-deprived brain, it morphed. I announced to Bare that Jorline had come up with the perfect name, "Hardcover Cafe" (oops, C2!), and I had just the graphic treatment for it in mind. It was perfect. It had the coffeehouse feeling we were looking for, the upscale feeling we wanted to offset the peanuts-on-the-floor feeling of The Liberty Pub, and we loved it.
But that wasn't the name, exactly, that Jorline had come up with - which was very popular with so many on the thread. I had morphed it into what I thought was the perfect name in my mind.
By the time this was pointed out to me by Pi Guy (at about 2:00AM), I had already created the graphic with the intent of showing all of you today, and thanking Jorline for the great name suggestion.
So Jorline, this isn't exactly the name you intended, but it's close, and it's exactly what we wanted - and it's because of you that we got it! So a HUGE thank you goes out from Bare and me to Jorline, whose brilliant idea scored big with us - even if I screwed it up! LOVE IT. Thank you! (And you should know - a lot of the staff prefers your name "Hardback", and I don't doubt that so will many of our commenters - it's a great name, some thought sort of a take-off on "Hard Rock Cafe" - and if we didn't already have a Pub, that's just what we would have selected.)

We'll buy you a Seattle-sized latte just as soon as we figure out a way to do it! Here's to Jorline!
UPDATE: Turns out Jorline was debating using "Hardcover" after all! And his daughter even argued for it! All's well that ends well, so Jorline (and offspring), we thank you for the fantastic name of our new book/coffee forum on C2 - it's all yours! I didn't screw it up as much as I thought !! YAY!!
It's great!

Tsunami Strikes American Samoa After 8.3-Magnitude Quake
PAGO PAGO, American Samoa — A tsunami swept into Pago Pago, American Samoa, shortly after an earthquake with a preliminary magnitude of 8.3 erupted in the area.
A U.S. National Parks Service official told Reuters Tuesday that the earthquake and the tsunami caused some deaths in American Samoa, but that report could not be independently confirmed
Fili Sagapolutele, who works at the Samoa News, said the water flowed inland about 100 yards before receding, leaving some cars stuck in the mud.
The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center in Honolulu issued a tsunami warning for American Samoa and other areas of the Pacific, including New Zealand. A tsunami watch was posted for other areas, including Hawaii and the Marshall Islands.
NOAA/NWS/West Coast and Alaska Tsunami Warning Center
A strong earthquake has occurred, but a tsunami IS NOT expected along the California, Oregon, Washington, British Columbia, or Alaska coast. NO tsunami warning, watch or advisory is in effect for these areas.
Scary stuff, those tsunamis

ReplyDeleteTue Sep 29, 2009 4:43pm EDT
* Big sub-sea quake causes tsunami in South Pacific
* Deaths reported in American Samoa and Western Samoa
* Number of deaths not yet known (Adds reports of deaths in both American and Western Samoa)
WASHINGTON/WELLINGTON, Sept 30 (Reuters) - A powerful 8.0 magnitude earthquake generated Pacific tsunami on Wednesday, killing an unknown number of people in American and Western Samoa and sending others fleeing for higher ground, officials said.
An official of the U.S. National Park Service said there had been deaths in American Samoa, but there was no word on how many. Similarly, a local police spokeswoman in nearby Western Samoa said the tsunami had killed an unknown number of people there.
"I can confirm there is damage, I can confirm there are deaths and I can confirm there are casualties," the police spokeswoman said by phone. "I cannot say any more at the moment."
A tsunami was observed at Apia, Western Samoa, and at Pago Pago, American Samoa, according to the West Coast/Alaska Tsunami Warning Center, a branch of the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
The waves at Pago Pago were 5.1 feet (1.57 metres) above normal sea level, according to the Pacific Western Tsunami Warning Center in Hawaii.
The center earlier issued a tsunami warning for New Zealand, American Samoa and other small Pacific islands.
American Samoa is a tiny U.S. territory that lies about halfway between Hawaii and New Zealand. It is home to about 65,000 people.
Chevron Corp said it was monitoring the tsunami threat to Hawaii, where the company has a 54,000 barrel per day (bpd) refinery near Honolulu.
Tesoro Corp did not immediately reply to messages about its 93,500 bpd refinery at Ewa Beach, also on the Hawaiian island of Oahu.
Both refineries provide jet fuel to commercial airlines and the U.S. military complex at Pearl Harbor as well motor fuels.

wow -- that's a damn big earthquake. Right on the subduction zone where Australia is riding up over the Pacific.
ReplyDeleteSee? If it hadn't been for the break up of Pangaia and continental drift none of this would have happened. But noooooo -- bourgeoise concepts of individualism undermined the primal unity. And lots of Amphibians died out when that happened. We obviously need federal legislation to prevent further drift and prevent the continued movement of Australia to the right, or east.

ReplyDeleteOops.
ReplyDeletePresident Obama's effort to deny that his mandate to buy insurance is a tax has taken another thumping, this time from fellow Democrats in the Senate Finance Committee.
Chairman Max Baucus's bill includes the so-called individual mandate, along with what he calls a $1,900 "excise tax" if you don't buy health insurance. (It had been as much as $3,800 but Democrats reduced the amount last week to minimize the political sticker shock.) And, lo, it turns out that if you don't pay that tax, the IRS could punish you with a $25,000 fine or up to a year in jail, or both.
Under questioning last week, Tom Barthold, the chief of staff of the Joint Committee on Taxation, admitted that the individual mandate would become a part of the Internal Revenue Code and that failing to comply "could be criminal, yes, if it were considered an attempt to defraud." Mr. Barthold noted in a follow-up letter that the willful failure to file would be a simple misdemeanor, punishable by the $25,000 fine or jail time under Section 7203.
So failure to pay the mandate would be enforced like tax evasion, but Mr. Obama still claims it isn't a tax. "You can't just make up that language and decide that that's called a tax increase," Mr. Obama insisted last week to ABC interviewer George Stephanopoulos. Accusing critics of dishonesty is becoming this President's default argument, but is Mr. Barthold also part of the plot?

ReplyDeleteI was reading about the 1964 Alaska earthquake.
ReplyDeleteThis stuck out:
This shock generated a tsunami that devasted many towns along the Gulf of Alaska, and left serious damage at Alberni and Port Alberni, Canada, along the West Coast of the United States (15 killed), and in Hawaii. The maximum wave height recorded was 67 meters at Valdez Inlet. Seiche action in rivers, lakes, bayous, and protected harbors and waterways along the Gulf Coast of Louisiana and Texas caused minor damage. It was also recorded on tide gages in Cuba and Puerto Rico.
First day here, and I don't want to start a ruckus, but I want everyone to know how upset I was when everyone received the ban stick. Lots of people I called friends - well, internet friends - were summarily dismissed for simple disagreement, friends who made that other place so special.

ReplyDeleteConcerning the German elections
ReplyDeleteThe last time I mention it, I pwromise. ;-)
NYT
: A specter is haunting Europe
— the specter of Socialism’s slow collapse. Even in the midst of one of the greatest challenges to capitalism in 75 years, involving a breakdown of the financial system due to “irrational exuberance,” greed and the weakness of regulatory systems, European Socialist parties and their left-wing cousins have not found a compelling response, let alone taken advantage of the right’s failures. German voters clobbered the Social Democratic Party on Sunday, giving it only 23 percent of the vote, its worst performance since World War II. Where the left holds power, as in Spain and Britain, it is under attack. Where it is out, as in France, Italy and now Germany, it is divided and listless.

ReplyDeleteTerrorists are 'Refugees' Says State Department
ReplyDeleteYesterday State Department spokesman P.J. Crowley referred to Gitmo terrorists as “refugees.” During the daily State Department briefing, the Assistant Secretary of State unveiled the new terminology (Video here at 24:10 minutes):
REPORTER QUESTION: Talk to us a little bit about response and talks and any commitments that you may have gotten from our European and other friends in the international community about taking in Guantanamo detainees as the camp in Guantanamo is expected to close at some point in the near future. Have you gotten any commitments from our European friends and anybody else?
ASSISTANT SECRETARY PHILIP J. CROWLEY: Ambassador Dan Fried continues his efforts to resettle, you know, Guantanamo refugees to various places around the world.
