One reader, "Mike," (not pictured) a self-described cashier, seemed very offended by my comments. He had a few not so nice opinions about couponers to share. Here is what he said:
"No, avid couponerss DO NOT "always" know the policy. In fact, most don't. I am one of those cashiers that will roll my eyes at you because you hare the one holding up the line, not me. You and your coupons for items you didn't buy, your expired coupons, your insistence that I stack coupons that cannot be stacked, your demands that I not only use to coupon but price match the store down the street, your multiple transactions because you can only use one coupon per transaction and you stole the coupon section out of ever Sunday paper in the tri-county area to build up a stack and you wiped out the shelf because you are the epitome of selfish and YOU are the one who is rude when I politely explain the policy to you why I cannot do what you are demanding I do and threatening to get me fired for following the rules. I know that you sleep at night by convincing yourself that you are in the right because you "just want a good deal" but in reality, couponers are little more than spoiled children who always got their way and never grew the hell up."
My response to Mike: I don't know about all the other couponers out there, Mike, but I for one do not usually think too much about coupons when I go to sleep. Do you?

Actually, there are many spelling and grammar mistakes in Tom's short post, I think he needs to get down on his knees and thank every customer who walks in the door for making it possible for someone with his poor language arts skills to even have a job. I use some coupons but I am not "hare the one holding up the line." I have never had a lot of coupons because I stole the coupon section out "of ever Sunday paper" in the area. I get my own paper delivered by the paper company plus those that come in the mail and download many from online sources. I am not the "epitome of selfish" (the word here would be selfishness) for wiping out a shelf because you don't know what was on the shelf, how many, or who bought them and since the store has more in the back and they order twice a week, the shelves will be replenished. The store gets paid for the products we buy and the manufacturer pays for the coupon value plus processing. If it bothers you so much, why don't you tell this to your boss and ask to stock shelves instead?
- February 19, 2013 at 7:04 pm(2) laura says:
I totally agree with Terri. In this economy the cashier absolutely should not complain about ANYTHING!
There is one that that I find really upsetting when trying to use coupons. It's the extremely short time span you have to use them before they expire, and than you are at the register one day late and the cashier makes a big deal about the coupon being expired (like the .20 cents) is coming out of their paycheck!
- February 19, 2013 at 11:00 pm(3) Joyce says:
I'm an avid coupon user, and I feel compelled to support some of Mike's claims. There are indeed many customers out there who try to browbeat and/or threaten a (lowly)clerk or cashier to do things that are against policy. We're all trying to save a few pennies, but I'm sick and tired of hearing women with their coupons trying to get away with breaking the rules. Don't use expired coupons (YES! ONE day AFTER the date means it has EXPIRED!!!!), don't try to pass off coupons for items you didn't purchase, some coupons cannot be doubled, sometimes you can use only 1 coupon per item. The store trained cashier knows the store rules! Give him or her a break, please.
As an aside, what do spelling and grammar errors have to do with this discussion? Does that make his comments invalid? Just asking.
- February 20, 2013 at 8:06 am(4) JOHN says:
I have to agree with Mike about these so called couponers who like to steal the coupon inserts from the Sunday papers.
My wife and I love to get bargins with coupons,but then we have to spend time checking the papers to make sure someone didn't already stole the insert. Besides that the store already gives the customers a nice discount on Sunday papers.

LAUREL COUNTY, Ky. —
A 21-0 lead by North Laurel didn't hold up as Pulaski County rallied for a 28-21 win Thursday. The Jaguars controlled the game and the momentum until midway through the third quarter. Once they lost it, there was no getting it back.
"The momentum changed on us and we just couldn't stop them. Our defense played good enough for us to win. We bogged down on offense," North Laurel coach Chris Larkey said.
The Jaguars tallied over 200 yards of total offense in the first half and struck twice on big plays. North Laurel managed only 52 yards in the second half and one first down.
"There was no great strategy change. We just started executing a little bit better," Pulaski County coach John Hines said.
Another big change would be turnovers. The Maroons fumbled twice in the first half and again on the opening drive of the second half. They would not fumble again as they started to rally. Meanwhile North Laurel would fumble twice in the final 1:39.
"You know we made some turnovers in the first half that really put us in a hole. You can't make turnovers against a good football team," Hines said. "That's a really good team. I don't know that they are getting the credit they deserve in this district."
The Jaguars were easily the best team in the first half and it showed from the opening play. Known for its power running game, North Laurel mixed it up with a bomb. Cole Lewis sprinted straight downfield and was hit in stride by Michael Nelson for a 65-yard touchdown.
"I decided today about 1:30 that was going to be the first play and it worked. It got the momentum for us," Larkey said.
Pulaski County had success passing as it drove to the North Laurel 4-yard line, but penalties stalled the drive. It took just five plays for the Jaguars to make it a 14-0 game. Nelson broke to the outside and into the clear. When he saw a defender with an angle, he cut back across the field for a 79-yard score.
"They were just whipping our butt in the first half and we made some turnovers that kind of helped them whip our butt," Hines said.
The Maroons fumbled on their next possession, but the Jaguars did not take advantage. They would convert on fourth down with Nelson running on a fake punt, but a penalty wiped out the first down. The Jaguars ended the night with 12 penalties for 80 yards.
"We killed ourselves with penalties on offense and defense. You do that in close games and you're not going to win," Larkey said.
The Jaguars punted and two plays later the Maroons fumbled again. Penalties would bog down this drive as well. An illegal procedure call added five yards to a Keaton Kennedy field goal attempt, which came up short from 51 yards.
"Pulaski County has a good football team. Not to take anything away from them, but I think we just shot ourselves in the foot tonight," Larkey said.
The second half did not start well for the Maroons. Caleb Cox tried to field the opening kickoff, but the officials ruled his knee touched the ground at the 2-yard line. Roughing the passer gave Pulaski County a first down, but a fumble on the next play set up the final North Laurel score. After a few pounding runs by Gabe Blair, Nelson scooted in from 3-yard out for a 21-0 lead with 8:20 in the third quarter.
The rest of the game the Jaguars ran 10 plays for 24 yards. They would also lose 10 yards in penalties and fumble twice.
"I thought our defense did a good job to settle their running game down in the second half to give us a chance to get back in it," Hines said.
After the Jaguars made it 21-0, Pulaski County's next drive looked easy. Riley Hall completed both pass attempts and also broke off two 11-yard runs. The touchdown came on a 5-yard run by Caleb Cox. You could feel the momentum swaying.
North Laurel went three-and-out with the Maroons taking over at their own 19. There were times this drive seemed to be floundering. A defensive holding penalty kept the drive going on third-and-15. Cox broke off a 12-yard run on fourth-and-3. The touchdown came on a 31-yard scamper where Riley Hall seemed to run within reach of every North Laurel defender.
The Maroons were forced to punt on their next possession. The North Laurel offense again went nowhere with a pair of penalties making sure of that. Pulaski County took over at midfield and the first play was a 31-yard completion. The touchdown came on a 3-yard run by Goins, who rushed for 120 yards. Goins entered the night averaging 115 yards per game.
It was here that Hines gambled, although he didn't see it that way. An extra point would have tied the game. He wanted the win.
"We always have a two-point play ready and we are prepared to get the win," Hines said. "It's just been a frustrating thing to me as a coach. I think as a head coach I have had five overtime games and we have lost four of them. I don't like overtimes."
Hall found Goins open in the corner of the end zone for a 22-21 lead.
"We just couldn't stop them. We stop them there and we win the game. They called a great play and caught us out of position," Larkey said.
It only got worse for North Laurel from there. Cole Lewis fielded the kickoff and looked unsuccessfully for running room. As he tried to cut back across the field for a seam, a jolting hit by Cox freed the ball. Trent Fiene recovered in the end zone for a touchdown.
"They didn't run out of gas and we did," Larkey said.
There was still hope when the extra point missed. Hope faded when Nelson tried to throw on first down. A crushing hit dislodged the ball and the Maroon recovered again.
The win keeps Pulaski County unbeaten in the district and at the top of the standings. It was the first district loss for the Jaguars, who will host Southwestern next week.
"We've just got to move on. Not worry about what happened and play the next game," Larkey said.
That next game will be Friday when Southwestern comes to town. The Warriors beat South Laurel, 42-41, in overtime Thursday.
Pulaski County 28, North Laurel 21
Pulaski County 0 0 7 21—28
North Laurel 14 0 7 0—21
NL—Lewis 65 pass from Nelson (Kennedy kick); NL—Nelson 79 run (Kennedy kick); NL—Nelson 2 run (Kennedy kick); PC—Cox 5 run (Burgett kick); PC—Riley Hall 31 run (Burgett kick); PC—Goins 3 run (Hall to Goins); PC—Fiene fumble recovery in end zone (kick failed).

Working the rounds in Nashville is hard. Musical acts share stages with each other during singer-songwriter nights at places around town and sing away, waiting and hoping that their big break is in the audience, listening and taking notes.
So when Easton Corbin broke big, and scored two consecutive No. 1 hits on Billboard's country chart, he was overwhelmed with gratitude.
"It was a dream come true," Corbin said. "It's hard to describe, but it was one of those things I'd been working on all my life. To finally get the opportunity to do that is flattering and gratifying."
Corbin will perform today at Buffalo Run Casino. The singer's 2009 self-titled debut album featured the songs "A Little More Country Than That," "Roll With It" and "I Can't Love You Back."
Country music Accolades
The album earned him Billboard's Top New Country Artist in 2010 and three American Country Awards. His second album, "All Over the Road," released in September; the single "Lovin' You is Fun" has been in country rotation since February.
A native of Florida, Corbin, 30, was introduced to country music from living with his grandparents. He took lessons at 14 from Pee Wee Melton, and in 2006, moved to Nashville with his newly married wife.
He worked at an Ace Hardware store during the day, and played the rounds at night, he said.
"I had to look at the goal. I wasn't quitting until I got there," he said. "You have to be really focused. Like everything else, everyone gets discouraged, but over time, you keep on. Pound on that door and believe in yourself, because if you don't believe in yourself, no one else will."
He got his chance in 2009 — thanks to a family connection through a distant cousin with expertise in entertainment management, he signed with Mercury Nashville.
On tour with the stars
Since then, he has toured with Blake Shelton, Brad Paisley, Rascal Flatts and more. He was the first male singer in 17 years to have his first two singles reach No. 1.
Though the second album hasn't yet produced numbers like the first, Corbin said he's learning the ropes of the music business. He said he plans to get back in the studio late next year.
While the experience is much different from singing the rounds, he said he's picking it up.
"It's a learning process, from choosing songs to writing and recording," Corbin said. "You're never done at that level. But I've gotten a lot more comfortable, and getting better at it."
Corbin's style has been compared to Keith Whitley and George Strait — an interview in Cowboys and Indians magazine made a strong Strait connection.
Strait is a big influence on Corbin's sounds, as well as Merle Haggard and other classic artists, he said.
"That was a huge compliment (getting compared to Strait)," he said. "I like writing in that style, and I definitely choose those kinds of songs. But no one will ever replace Strait, so that's humbling."
Corbin said his time touring with other country artists has taught him a lot, as well, including how to perform on much bigger stages. His show features a touring band of six other musicians, and includes songs from both albums and some of his favorite covers.
No problem, when the crowd is a lot bigger than the crowd at a round.
"It's all about how the crowd is reacting," he said. "We throw in some Haggard songs and some other current songs. We never know, but we love it when the crowd gets into it."

MINERAL WELLS — The winter weather is making efficient operation of the Senior Center activities rather erratic lately. With the closings which are behind us, and the closings which may be ahead of us, we can only plan with hopeful anticipation.
Accordingly, the following news will deal only with those activities and issues which may occur, but please don't hold the Senior Center accountable if some are canceled. It is for the safety and comfort of the participants that this situation exists.
The current calendar, if it is fulfilled, is pretty exciting, leading up to the annual Gigantic Garage Sale. This year the dates are March 4 beginning at 5:30 p.m. and continuing through Saturday, March 6 at just after noon.
New features included this year are a change of venue, with the sale location being presented at the Activity Center, 735 Hood Road, at Wolters Industrial Park. This move was the result of previous years' crowding and lack of adequate parking space.
The center is highly appreciative of the use of the MWISD facility on S.W. 5th Avenue, which we were allowed to use for many years. We have just outgrown the place, which served us so well for so long. Thanks MWISD for all that help!
The second feature deals with a never-before availability of paid admission for early shopping, implemented especially for those whose work schedule prevents their attending during workday hours. This will dictate that the Activity Center be open Thursday, March 4, from 5:30-7:30 p.m., with a $10 per person admission fee. A bake sale is anticipated to be presented at this time, as well. The regular sale dates, March 5th and 6th, will be open to the public, with no admission charge, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on the 5th and from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on the 6th.
Donations of clean, usable items will be appreciated and accepted at the Activity Center next Monday from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. Other dates and times for delivery will be next Tuesday and Wednesday from 9 a.m. to noon and 1-4 p.m. Volunteers will be on site to assist with unloading of the appliances, electronics, household items, clothing, tools, toys, and any other reusable items, such as books, recordings and the like.
At this point, there is still need for volunteers to assist with all phases of the sale. Call the center at (940) 325-6470 for sign up or information. It has been the intent of the center all these years to price the items for sale at a level to make the items affordable to the entire community. That purpose will continue to be foremost in the pricing efforts.
Another item to note, as regards activities and schedules, is the rescheduling of the Wednesday Bingo game to 1 p.m. This is a weekly affair sponsored by IntegraCare. All other activities for the coming week will be as usual, except for the increased attention being paid to the upcoming garage sale.
The 26th is Birthday Party Day, don't forget. This activity, too, is sponsored by IntegraCare, assisted by HealthLine. There will be the usual festivities and activities connected to that special day when we celebrate the February birthdays of the center participants. Lunch to be served on that occasion will be pork roast, new potatoes, green beans, bread and the usual cake and ice cream. Yum! Yum! Call for a reservation.
Senior center's big annual fundraiser is next week at Activity Center – volunteers and shoppers needed

Inspired by David Brooks Stess' powerful and thought-provoking photographs and his decades of experience working alongside Native Americans and migrant field hands during Maine's annual blueberry harvest, I wanted to create a recipe that would showcase Maine's precious blueberries. This cake, which is great for a crowd at a party or just as an afternoon snack, has a mouthful of blueberries in every bite and the tangy lemon icing is just enough to offset the sweet berries.
Blueberry Rakers: Photographs by David Brooks Stess is part of the Portland Museum of Art's innovative Circa series and is on view until Sunday, May 19. The exhibition is a stunning reminder of Maine's deeply set roots in agriculture, and of how much we still depend upon the hardworking hands of laborers who often go unnoticed and unappreciated.
Blueberry Rakers Bundt Cake with Lemon Icing
2 1/2 cups plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour and 2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon fine sea salt or kosher salt
1 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 3/4 cups granulated sugar
Zest of 1 lemon
3 large eggs, at room temperature*
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
3/4 cup buttermilk
3 1/2 cups Maine blueberries** (I used the wild variety, but cultivated berries are sometimes more readily available; frozen berries are also fine)
2 cups powdered or confections' sugar Zest
juice of 1 lemon
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
Preheat your oven to 350°F. Generously grease a 10-cup Bundt Pan, either with butter or a nonstick spray. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, sift together 2 1/2 cups flour (leaving out the extra 2 tablespoons), baking powder, and salt and set aside. In the bowl of a stand mixer or large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, sugar, and lemon zest until light and impossibly fluffy, about 3 to 5 minutes. Then, with the mixer on a low speed, add your eggs one at a time, scraping down the bowl between each addition. Beat in vanilla, briefly. Add 1/3 flour mixture to batter, beating until just combined, followed by half the buttermilk, another 1/3 of the flour mixture, the remaining buttermilk and remaining flour mixture. Scrape down from time to time and don't mix any more than you need to. Toss the berries with the remaining 2 tablespoons of flour. With a rubber spatula, gently fold the berries into the cake batter. The batter will be very thick and this will seem impossible without squishing the berries a little, but squished berries aren't always a bad thing!
Spread cake batter — you might find it easier to plop it in the pan in large spoonfuls, because it's so thick — in the prepared baking pan and spread the top smooth. Bake for 55 to 60 minutes, rotating the cake 180 degrees after 30 (to make sure it browns evenly). The cake is done as soon as a toothpick comes out clean of batter.
Set cake pan on a wire rack to cool for 30 minutes, before inverting the cake onto a serving platter to cool the rest of the way. Cool completely.
Once cool, whisk together the powdered sugar, lemon zest, juice and butter until smooth and very, very thick. (If you'd like it thinner, add more juice, but I like the thick drippiness of it, seen above.) Spread carefully over top of cake, letting it trickle down the sides when and where it wishes. Serve at once or keep it covered at room temperature for 3 to 4 days.
*Because I used farm-fresh, richly colored eggs, my batter and cake was subsequently darker than if you use store bought eggs.
**If you choose to use cultivated blueberries, you may want to decrease the amount slightly, because of their larger size.

New Castle News
The New Castle Area School District was financially sound for the 2011-12 school year, local auditors have reported.
But looking into the future, they noted, rising costs of health care, retirement and wages could strain the district's reserves.
The school board unanimously approved the audit report by Robert A. Izzo and John Ruehle, certified public accountants from Philip Weiner and Co.
"It's a good audit," Izzo said, "and there were no findings. Overall it was a very good report in terms of their financial status as of June 30, 2012."
He added the audit is a historical document that already is 6 months old.
Financial highlights as provided by district business manager Joe Ambrosini show the district reported a surplus of about $1.8 million for the 2011-12 year.
The district's fund balance was $11,836,201 and its capital reserve balance $3,242,998, according to the 2011-12 annual financial report.
Factors contributing to the surplus include:
•Basic education funding increase in June, 2012, of $435,538.
•Refinancing of 2006 bond issue, saving about $500,000.
•Local wage and property tax revenue, about $600,000 because of increased collections.
•State's share of Social Security and retirement increase by about $450,000 because of an increase in the market value aid ratio.
•The district's receiving about $120,000 from federal stimulus health care reimbusement in the early retirement reinsurance program.
•Tuition the district paid to the Lawrence County Career and Technical Center amounting to about $450,000 less than budgeted. The district had planned for 138 students attending, but 108 were enrolled.
•Establishing the Cray Compass program for special education, which saved the district about $150,000 because of less expensive educational placements.
•Medical insurance projected to be 11 percent was reduced to 9.7 percent, thus reducing the cost by about $370,000.

Had everyone been at the 2006 Olympics and skated their best it could have been one of the most spectacular and competitive events ever. Kim, Kwan, Slutskaya, Asada, Ando, Kostner, Rochette, Suguri, Arakawa, Cohen, and Meissner. However it fizzled into an utterly forgettable event with 5 triple Shizuka crusing to an easy win. Had everyone been there and skated their best it is amazing to think atleast 1 of the stated skaters would have been right out of the top 10. What would the results have been had everyone skated their best, maybe clean not being the right word, but the best they were capable of at the time, with the content they realistically were wanting to do. I think it would have gone:
Gold- Arakawa- had she done the 7 triples and 2 triple-triples she was practicing she probably would have posted a 140 LP which would be too much for the others.
Silver- Slutskaya- had she done her 2005 Worlds or 2005 Cup of Russia skate with no discounted triples probably would have scored about a 135 LP, good for 2nd place.
Bronze- Asada- her GP final LP would probably score atleast 130 given the high Olympic scoring, and with a triple-
triple in the SP around 65 there.
4th- Kim- not sure where she would have figured in but she was still developing.
5th- Cohen- maybe this is low but technically she is not as strong as many others even if she skates her best, even if they also do. She still would have won over the event as skated if she had skated cleanly with 7 triples.
6th- Kwan- I am assuming she would have made COP improvements. Since if she didnt she would be even lower than this if everyone else also skated their best.
7th- Meissner- I am assuming she did her Worlds LP, which might have had her higher in the LP, but her SP would hold her down. I also dont think even her Worlds LP would have been scored as highly as it was there.
8th- Kostner
9th- Rochette
10th- Ando
11th- Suguri- Yet she came 4th not even skating her best, which shows what a bust the event was.

IDW's Angel comic has been a godsend for fans still mourning the loss of the brooding-but-soulful vampire detective show. Now those fans may have even more cause to rejoice: beginning with issue 28 of the book, acclaimed comic writer Bill Willingham (a.k.a. the co-creator of Fables) will take over the writing chores from departing scribe Brian Lynch. Joining Willingham will be his longtime friend and collaborator Bill Williams, best know for his work on the webcomic SideChicks. Williams will provide a continuing back-up story in each issue featuring a character new to the Buffyverse, Eddie Hope. In the following exclusive interview, Williams give us the dirt on Hope and on what we can expect when the two Bills begin their joint stint on Angel.
Once writer Bill Willingham takes over the main writing on Angel, you'll begin writing a back-up feature starring Eddie Hope, a new character left over from the book's recent "Hell on Earth" storyline. Can you talk a little bit about Eddie?
In "After the Fall", Los Angeles went to Hell and then after some time everything snapped back to normal with the people of LA sharing the memory like a fever dream. Well, almost everything went back to normal. Eddie Hope was fundamentally changed by his time in Hell and by the associations he made there. Now, Eddie knows the worst people in Los Angeles and he has made it his job to hunt them down and finish them.
The first story "A Devil Walks into a Bar..." hits the ground running as Eddie confronts someone who had committed atrocities when the city went to Hell. They argue whether that really happened or not, which is one of the debates that runs through the feature. It also shows that Eddie can transform much like the Buffyverse vampires who get their 'vampire faces' on. Eddie's transformation into his devil form is much more severe and much scarier than what you can do on television. I think that at the beginning of the series Eddie thinks of himself as a lost soul who only has his mission to keep himself going. So, he throws himself into the mission and decides to make the world a better place one body at a time.
I have an amazing amount of leeway to tell fun stories. Eddie was in Willingham's original pitch to IDW complete with his devilish origins and secrets. Willingham's instructions to me were to go have fun for a few issues and then we'll have him crash into the Team Angel characters later. The whole Eddie story will spin out over the length of the back up stories.
Have you drawn inspiration from film noir, or from other fantasy tales, in telling Eddie's story?
I'm a fan of writers like Chandler and Hammett and the comics on that family tree like Criminal. I'm a big fan of British mysteries like Prime Suspect and Foyle's War and that dry approach to storytelling. I recently saw Steven Moffat's Jekyll, which is fantastic. I'm also reading Matthew Sturges' excellent novel Midwinter. Kick in a dozen comics a week, a few random webcomics and there's a load of stuff in my stew-pot of a brain.
If anything, I'm taking inspiration from the Angel television series. When I first talked with Bill about writing the back-up series, I had to watch the last four seasons of Angel in six weeks to get up to speed. I had seen some of the episodes in syndication and I had watched the first season on DVD, but there was a lot of real estate to cover in a short time. Before Bill and I sat down to map out my part of the series, I came up with a fifty-page Angel Bible that was full of notes and things that I would like to take a second look at in the Eddie stories. Since then, I have been going back and watching Buffy and making notes on that as well since it takes place in the same world. In my research, I came to find that there were two kinds of Angel episodes. There were the 'brooding' episodes and the 'caper' episodes. The brooding episodes of Angel were carried by the performances of the actors. While the artist on the Eddie stories is great, the language of comics is different from the language of television. I thought the caper approach was the stronger way to go, so the Eddie chapters are loaded with action. In one scene in Chapter Four, Eddie is standing on the hood of a speeding truck as the driver is shooting at him while Eddie is punching through the windshield.
My goal is to write the short Eddie stories as if it was television writing with no effects budget to hold us back.
How did you and Bill Willingham come to work together on the book?
Bill Willingham and I have been friends for more than fifteen years now. I met him when he, Keith Wilson and I were sharing a cartooning studio in Pflugerville, Texas. I was Keith's inking assistant at the time. Later we rented a house together in Austin and I published the criminally underlooked series of his called Pantheon. He moved out to Vermont, but we stayed in touch. I would head out and visit him a few times a year when he lived in Las Vegas. A few years ago I ended up in a writing group, Clockwork Storybook, with him and Matt Sturges, Chris Roberson and Mark Finn. Willingham has a great wanderlust and I helped him with his last move. In fact, I was in the car with him when he talked with our editor Mariah Huehner about working on the Angel series.
Bill wrote me into the pitch document he made for IDW. That was pretty cool, especially when they bought it. So when we got together at our annual Clockwork Retreat in May, we worked out what we were going to do in the first year of the series. I sat down and wrote the first few scripts and ran them past Willingham. We made a few changes and they were good to go to Mariah. I was feeling pretty good about my work. I had written some pretty solid pages and, man, I was certain that back-up series was going to shine. Then I read Willingham's first script and it's just great. He is one of the few people that I can describe as a genius.
Clearly, I never imagined that our new book would end up on the back cover of the PREVIEWS catalog.
Can you talk a bit about how you may be tying Eddie's story into Bill's writing?
Eddie's relationship to Team Angel is top secret for a while. I don't want to spoil something that will spin out of the lead story in the Angel series.
When I first started working on the project, I was struggling with how to approach the character. I knew the nuts and bolts, but I was missing something in the tone. Eddie is a bit of a loner; he has no sidekick to explain things to, so he will be talking to himself in captions for a while. I was grasping for the right voice to use. So, I was chatting with Willingham about Eddie and I asked him if Eddie was a good guy or a bad guy. He said that Eddie is a guy with a mission. That helped clarify things for me and helped me tap into the ambiguity that is spread all through Joss Whedon's work.
Will any of the regular Angel cast appear in your story?
I have wanted to avoid having Eddie bump into any of the Team Angel characters until some specific cool things happen in the lead story. I want to stay off of Willingham's toes, so most of them are off of the table for the first few months. But in talking with Mariah, she had a good idea in that I should makes sure that the Eddie stories are firmly tied into the Angelverse. So in the fifth chapter, Eddie bumps into electric Gwen Raiden. As the story goes on, there are loads of references to specific Angel episodes. The bad guy in the first few chapters is Jacob Crane, the wicked gourmand who tried to serve up a werewolf girl in the fifth season of Angel.
So I'm playing with the background characters for the first few months. Once Bill pulls the trigger on one story thing in particular, I'll shift gears and change the way I integrate the other members of Team Angel into the Eddie stories. But remember, the back-up stories are four pages long. That's not a lot of fictional real estate. At four panels per page, I only have sixteen panels to tell a story. Anybody can write a sweeping epic, but writing a good short story is a real challenge.
Can you talk a bit about the artist who will illustrate your writing?The early design sketches that I saw made me go back and do some rewrites on a chapter because of David Messina's art. I added more action and stretched a fight scene because Eddie's devil form looks so freaking cool. I've gotten a good look at the first story and the art is dramatic and Eddie looks like some gothic nightmare sprung to life. I can't wait to see more.
I got a look at some of Brian Denham's pages for the lead feature and they are pretty sweet too. This will be a very pretty book.
How long have you been a fan of Joss Whedon's Buffyverse?
I came along late in the game, after the Angel television show was cancelled. I am a comic book inker and sometimes I work late into the night. Angel was in syndication late night here in Austin and it came on after something else I was watching. And I got into it after a few episodes. I started to make time to watch it when it came on. Eventually, I got all of Whedon's stuff on DVD. Angel in syndication led me into Firefly and then the Serenity movie and back into Buffy. And I can sing most of the Doctor Horrible numbers. Joss Whedon has a real talent for twisting the knife in the hero's side and I admire that.
What appeals to you about Joss's creations?
Joss Whedon's characters are allowed to be bright. They have smart comebacks and they do smart things. Most of the horror tropes require the characters to be as dumb as a dining room table. I grew up in the Golden Age of the slasher films like Friday the 13th and watched the Halloween movies. I need my horror/ suspense to have more than a bunch of random teens being chased through the woods.
Whedon's characters all want something, even the monsters want more than just a full belly. The heroes have a plan, the bad guys have a plan and they all grow and learn over time.
Do you have a favorite character?
I am hoping that some of the new characters in the Angel comics resonate with the readers and become some of their favorites too.
Like most people, I grew to love Spike. Even when he is miserable, he owns that moment. He doesn't pout, he doesn't brood. Spike does things that make him happy and to Hell with the consequences. That's bold. I love Captain Mal and I love the wackiness of Anya in Buffy. And of course, of course, Bad Horse.
Have you followed Brian Lynch's writing on IDW's Angel comic?
I read the "After the Fall" series as it was coming out. This was before I got the gig to write the back-ups, so I only had a passing knowledge of who some of those background characters were. I have not had the chance to go back and re-read them since I started swimming in the Angel ocean. I tend to give away comics after I read them.
We were on a panel together at the show in San Diego this year as they rolled out the announcement that Willingham was the new regular writer on the Angel series. Brian is a nice guy and he has a real grip on the characters. I love his take on Spike. And his tweets are funny too.
Can you say how long you see yourself working on Angel? When you and Bill decide to leave the book, is it likely you'll leave together?
That is entirely up to the nice people at IDW. If Willingham decides to take off at some point down the road, any new writer will want to get all twenty-two pages of storytelling space. With luck, I will have bonded with the people there and I will have more opportunities to work for them. For now, I'm the new guy keeping his head down and doing the best work possible.
Willingham and Mariah go way back. She worked at DC and worked with Bill on the Fables series out of the Vertigo office. So they have worked together for a while and they have a good relationship from what I can tell. When we were in San Diego this year, I told Mariah that I'd be sending her a road map for where I saw the Eddie stuff going. She seems to be onboard with the overall plan, but sales will dictate what we can do over the long run.
What else are you working on right now? Are there any other comic book titles you're interested in writing, any other characters? Or is there a new project you're developing?
I have a pitch working its way across desks and through the IDW offices. In that pitch, Eddie bumps up against other Angelverse characters in interesting ways. I really wish I could say more, but I don't want to jinx myself there.
For the past two years plus, I have been writing and (mostly) inking and (mostly) coloring a webcomic called SideChicks which runs on the Graphic Smash website. It's about super-powered female bodyguards. The current story has art by Robb Phipps (Mantra) with some inks by Jon Alderink. Previous stories had art by Walter Geovani (Red Sonja) and Fransisco Rodriguez de la Fuente (Robin). I'm inking and coloring the next story which has pencils by Jose Luis who is doing a Red Tornado mini-series for DC right now.
Back in June 2009, Thom Zahler (Love & Capes) and I had a strip in the Zuda competition. We started in 5th and finished there. I wanted to write something like the old Herbie strips, but a little darker.
I've got another project in the works which is a sweet story about a cat. No really. The girls that have seen the pages want to hug them. It is that adorable. Anyway, the project is penciled and I need to make the time to finish the inks and colors on that too.
Might we see you and Bill work together elsewhere in the future?
Bill has a pretty full dance card right now. He's co-writing a couple of monthly comics and doing the full writing chores on a few more with another series waiting in the wings. I like working with Bill because he is so damn clever and he really makes me bring my best work. We have talked about doing a couple of other things but it is too soon to tell if those will happen. Willingham really doesn't have a lack of people wanting to work with him, he has a lack of hours in the day to make all of that happen.
In real life, what's your greatest fear?
I don't know if this counts as a "fear" exactly, but I hate going to the dentist. So I didn't for quite sometime. When I finally went back years later, I had all kinds of problems. I had stuff scrubbed and scraped and I struggled with the process. And I kept thinking, "Man, I am paying people to do this to me." One of the things that I had to have done was this incredibly grizzly and painful procedure where they pull your gums back and stitch them up so that they heal closer to the teeth and the gap cause by inattention is closed. The end result is good and I am healthier than ever, but the process is painful. But when I was in the chair, they hooked up a heart monitor and I had to ask how often they used the heart shocking gear next to it. They said, "Almost never." I did manage to get good drugs though.
Now, I kind of bargain with my guy. I just went in today and he was going to have to take some measurements, which means that he would stick a metal probe under the gum and stop when he feels resistance and counts the rings on the metal probe. And he was going to do this a couple of times per tooth. I was in no mood to be stabbed today, and I had just been checked a few weeks back so, we made a deal. He checked the problem areas and left the rest alone. I can rationalize the pain as well as anyone I suppose, but it's something that I feel all of the way to my bones.
So if I had to guess, my personal Hell will have a special room full of needles and dentist chairs.

South Carolina's senior Republican, Sen. Lindsey Graham, has endorsed Democrat Howard Berman in Berman's California House race.
Berman is locked in a tight contest to represent the Golden State's 30th District with fellow House member and Democrat Brad Sherman.
As a result of re-districting, the two Democrats were forced into a run-off by a California election law that requires the two top finishers in a primary to advance to the general election, irrespective of party.*
The race in suburban Los Angeles is expected to be close and the endorsement from Graham could make the difference for Berman, who also received endorsements on Monday from Sens. John McCain (R – Arizona) and Joseph Lieberman (I – Connecticut).
Follow all South Carolina political news by liking us at St. Andrews Patch.
Berman is the senior member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee.
In a statement, Graham said, "(Berman) works hard every day to advance America's agenda and has been instrumental in passing laws to prevent the spread of nuclear weapons, stop arms sales to nations that support terrorism, and keep our country safe. We need his effectiveness and bipartisan leadership in Congress."
Graham is up for re-election in South Carolina in 2014 and is expected to face a challenge from his right, with the most oft-mentioned candidate being State Sen. Tom Davis (R - Beaufort).
McCain won re-election in 2010 and Lieberman has announced he'll be retiring from the Senate when his term ends in Jan. 2013.
Graham did not make an official endorsement during the Republican Presidential Primaries, but has been harshly critical of Pres. Obama on everything from tax policy to his handling of the crisis in Syria.
* Note - This sentence originally said California law "allows" the to top two finishers to square off in a primary even if they are from the same party, when in fact it's more stringent than that--it's required. Thanks to a savvy reader for pointing that out.

Zoe Beaty: Features Writer
Since joining Grazia in November 2011, Zoe has been found fash-swanning around the features desk. Zoe's role as features writer has taken her from shopping K-Middy style on Sloane Street to greeting Her Madgesty on the red carpet at the W.E. premier. During her time at Grazia HQ so far she has also interviewed Matthew Williamson, become a full-time bookworm (along with the lovely Delphine Chui) and, of course, written a few cheeky stories for Grazia Daily on anything from Li-Lo's latest fash-disaster to Elizabeth Taylor's whopping jewellery collection.
Fashion enthusiast and mag-hag, Zoe is a self-confessed stationary hoarder – and admits though she loves to get her style fix, she can be equally as enthused by a comedy post-it note. (No, really.) Important office duties also include providing tea and manning the features desk radio.

Newfoundlandlers and Labradorians have a long history with the sea. It goes back centuries. From Beothuk hunting expeditions in birch bark canoes, to explorers seeking a new world away from the shores of Europe, to cowboys — yes, I said cowboys.

Explore the past, experience the beauty. Hiding between the great Tablelands and the vast Atlantic Ocean sits quiet Trout River. While proclaiming itself to be Newfoundland's best kept vacation secret, a more accurate account would be Canada's best kept secret. This destination should be on every travellers list when exploring Newfoundland. Situated 86km from Deer Lake International Airport, in the glorious Gros Morne National Park, it is a rare and beautiful find nestled within another rare and beautiful find.

Making cod tongues in the RV while thinking about this famous Newfoundland fish.

f you want to go cod fishing from a traditional Newfoundland dory then you need to contact Darren Park. Darren is a top notch guide and operates 2 Newfoundland dories for tours of the Goose and Penguin Arm and is based in Cox's Cove at the end of the North Shore highway (highway 440) near Corner Brook. His dory fishing trips are unique in the province and are very popular during the recreational cod fishery which runs from July 21-August 12, 2012.

Theatre Newfoundland Labrador (TNL) is back in Cow Head and they are performing several new plays for the summer 2012 season. We recently saw "The Fly Fisher's Companion" and would recommend this play to anyone since although it deals with salmon fishing, its main theme is the changing face of friendship. The play follows Wes (played by Michael Chaisson) and Don (performed by John Dartt) as they gear up to go salmon fishing from a cabin they built together many years ago.

There are so many things to enjoy when I go back home to Newfoundland. From spending time with family and friends to hiking along the rugged coast, and taking in live music in St. John's. One of the things I look most forward to is getting out in a boat to catch a few cod.

The first thing you notice is the air, scrubbed by a thousand miles of ocean and a hundred miles of evergreen forest. The spruce-scented breeze wafts along the shores of western Newfoundland filling the billowing sails of our tall ship, Concordia, and simultaneously purging our lungs of city smog. Even the tap water in Newfoundland (affectionately known as "the Rock" by locals) is so pristine you can fill your car battery with it.

MANKATO — A vehicle sped through a stop sign at a T-intersection, jumped into a yard and crashed through the front of a house, causing extensive damage to the home Thursday afternoon.
The sole occupant of the vehicle was taken away by ambulance after being extracted and appeared to be responsive.
The crash happened after 2 p.m. at the intersection of Balcerzak Drive and Warren Street near the Minnesota State University campus.
Dave Vogel was stopped at the stop sign on Warren when the accident happened.
"I saw them coming just full speed (down Balcerzak). They just kept on going, never slowed down," Vogel said. "I just pulled over and called 911."
The vehicle was nearly half way into the home and had been pushed upward into the house by the front steps. Rescue personnel quickly put a jack under the sagging roof of the house to prevent it from collapsing.

- Requires cleaning and maintenance Review by mychael Dio
i ordered this and was so very happy with it when it first came ..the ball went in and out easily and there was not problem at all... felt great, nice finish , etc....then like i read in one of the other reviews of this product that the spring that is inside the ball stopped working and the tiny little beads on either side of the ball will not pop out and lock into place anymore..i, too wear my PA 24/7..i was outside working in the garden when the ball just fell out..i put it back in and it hapened 3 more times before i figured out what the problem was..Chain Gang needs to sell or offer fee replacement balls for this product..money is tight these days, so this is a real pain in the azz...now i'll have to replace the whole thing with a different style...What happened to the old ball ,and slot design that featured a ball with one flat side and one indented...might be harder to take in and out, but at least it doesn;t fall out on it's own..

Review: Wild in the Streets
Hooligans' island. Royal Oak Film Society presents a close-up look at a very unusual sporting event
Published: February 6, 2013
Wild in the Streets| B+
In the quaint Derbyshire village of Ashbourne, U.K., there is a sports tradition that dates back nearly a millennium — and though it no longer involves the tossing about of a decapitated virgin's head, it has lost none of its muddy, chaotic fury. The game is known as Shrovetide Football, and it is the testosterone-fueled progenitor of modern-day soccer, rugby and American football.
Director Peter Baxter, co-founder and president of the Slamdance Film Festival, bravely positions his documentary crew in the middle of this East Midland town's raucous, nonstop, two-day rugby free-for-all, an annual competition that pits 3,000 participants against one another in a mad scrum to deliver a four-pound homemade leather ball into the opposing team's cross-town goal. There are no referees, no fouls, and no out-of-bounds (except churches and cemeteries). Alcohol is, of course, the sustenance of choice.
How Ashbourne's teams are determined, we learn, is a matter of birth rather than choice. Those born north of the river Henmore are called Up'ards. Those from south of the river, are considered Down'ards. The loyalties, triumphs and betrayals of team lore are related by locals, whose accents are so thick subtitles are a necessity. The people of Ashbourne take their bare-knuckled competition seriously indeed. When a brother defects from one team to another, scandal ensues. Baxter's crew interviews a Sunday-school mum who jokes about her son's choice of team but you can see the gravity in her eyes.
Colorful residents, nifty archival footage and narration by actor Sean Bean (Game of Thrones), who grew up less than 30 miles from Ashbourne, help provide context for Baxter's energetic exploration of what may be the oldest ongoing sports rivalry on Earth.
Does Wild in the Streets have a whole lot to say about the human condition, sports or our deep-rooted need for team loyalty? Not really. Other than a passing nod to the social friction generated between modern suburban trends and Ashbourne's traditional community values, Baxter is content to immerse us in Shrovetide's storied history and give us a front row seat to the giddy spectacle of neighbors who wrestle, trample and pummel one another in the name of a beloved custom. mt
Wild in the Streets is part of the Royal Oak Film Society's every-other-month movie screenings. Director Peter Baxter will be on hand for a Q&A with the audience. It takes place at 7 p.m. on Thursday, Feb. 7, at at the Main Art Theatre, 118 N. Main St., Royal Oak; 248-542-5198; see royaloakfilmsociety.com for more info.

Theme of Workshop:
The motivation for the research programme itself derived from the realization that, with the spectacular evolution of computing facilities and the proliferation of applications in which the number of experimental units is comparatively small but the underlying dimension is massive, it has become necessary to fit complex models for which the effective number of parameters is very large. Areas of application include image analysis, microarray analysis, finance, document classification, astronomy and atmospheric science. Methodological advances have been made, but with them comes the need for further development and appropriate theoretical underpinning. The workshop will review the state-of-the-art of this rapidly developing field. Timed as it is at the beginning of the six-months research programme, the workshop will be broad in scope, with the aim of laying the groundwork for research interactions during the rest of the programme and beyond. Particular topics likely to be covered include the following: strategies for explicit and implicit dimension-reduction; classification methods for complex datasets, including machine-learning approaches; asymptotic theory for increasing dimension; graphical and other visualisation methods for complex datasets; and presentation of topical case studies, probably drawn from the areas of application listed above.
The workshop will therefore cover fundamental areas of modern statistical theory and methodology required for the analysis of important large-scale practical problems. The nature of the topics is such that it should be of interest to those working in machine learning research and others in computer science, as well as to mainstream statisticians.
Confirmed Speakers:
Peter Bickel (Berkeley); Peter Buhlmann (Zurich); Emmanuel Candes (Caltech); Brenton Clarke (Vancouver); Dennis Cook (Minnesota); Dianne Cook (Iowa); Lutz Duembgen (Bern); Jianqing Fan (Princeton); David Hoyle (Manchester); Enno Mammen (Mannheim); Charles Micchelli (Albany); Fionn Murtagh (Royal Holloway); Boaz Nadler (Weizmann); Richard Samworth (Cambridge); Werner Stuetzle (Seattle); Jon Wellner (Seattle); Alastair Young (Imperial) and Bin Yu (Berkeley).

The Tonawanda News
Tonawanda News — The photos could break your heart.
Brightly colored bins, now empty, labeled "crayons" and "markers" and "colored pencils." Barren shelves. Piles of clothing strewn across the floor every which way.
Barely one week before the start of school, the Ken-Ton Closet — an organization dedicated to providing clothing, toiletries and school supplies to children in need in the Ken-Ton community — is coping with a break-in at its site at the Sheridan-Parkside Community Center that resulted in the loss of much of its school-supply collection and many of the toiletries.
Jill O'Malley of Kenmore, the director of the Closet, said that someone broke into the room at some point between Thursday and Tuesday, a catastrophe discovered when volunteers arriving Tuesday thought there had been an open house and called her about the disarray and dearth of needed school supplies.
There had been no recent open house. O'Malley went to survey the scene and found a heart-breaking mess, with many supplies gone and donated clothing pulled off racks and boxes dumped on the floor.
"I don't know what they were looking for. I'm sure they also took clothing, but we don't really track that," she said. "It kills me. Just come. You can get it for free."
Only about 10 of the original 50 brand-new backpacks remain. The only other school supplies salvaged include a donation that was safely at O'Malley's house, which will help the group assist some students. However, with district schools opening Sept. 5, there are likely to be more requests on the way.
"I have enough supplies on hand to fulfill some requests," O'Malley said, "but I don't know what will come in in the next week or so."
While the school supplies are mostly inexpensive items such as crayons and pencils, they may be more difficult to replace now that the beginning of school is imminent and store shelves are borderline wiped out of stock.
And that's where the community comes in.
The Closet is in need of supplies including crayons, markers (both thin and thick), highlighters, index cards, pens, pencils, erasers, composition books, glue (bottles and sticks), pencil boxes, children's scissors, colored pencils and three-subject notebooks.
Donations will be accepted at Bumblebeez Consignment and Children's Boutique, 906 Brighton Road, until Tuesday, and a special collection will take place from 8 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Saturday at the Kenmore Farmer's Market at Delaware Avenue and Delaware Road.
It would be best to make donations at those sites, O'Malley said, although the Closet can also be reached through Facebook or by calling 218-9589. Donors are asked not to leave supplies at the unattended public collection sites for the Closet.
In addition, there will be a clean-up event between 1 and 3 p.m. Friday at the Closet to refold, sort, size and generally put things back in order.
It's also hoped that local residents (and store employees, as the new items may have been taken to return to stores for cash) will keep their eyes open for those who might be seen with large quantities of school supplies or toiletries (including hundreds of pencils or dozens of tubes of toothpaste) for no apparent reason.
While the incident is disappointing, O'Malley said she wants to be positive and move forward.
"We'll get back what we lost. People are already stepping up," she said. "We've had people just keep saying over and over, 'We're going to go shopping.' Everyone wants to do their part, and that's phenomenal. That's why I want to keep it positive."
In fact, she said, there may be a silver lining. Most of the clothing and supply requests the Closet receives still come through the school district. This could help get out the word that the Ken-Ton Closet exists and is willing to help anyone in the community who needs it, O'Malley said.
"The No. 1 most important thing that could come out of this is that people will know this resource is available. And that's good," she said. "There are going to be kids with school supplies who don't have them because of this. We just have to remember that, and move forward."

WATERVILLE, Maine --- Scott Brown had three goals, while Andrew Meisel and Ben Desmond both had one goal and two assists as the Colby College men's soccer team won the middle game of three contests in a row with a 6-0 victory over University of Maine at Farmington on Sunday.
The Mules (3-6-2 overall) fell 2-0 to Amherst College on Saturday and will play host to Thomas College on Monday at 7 p.m. in the first night home game in the history of the program at Seaverns Field at Harold Alfond Stadium.
Meisel got his first collegiate goal at 15:44 from Desmond and it ended up being the game-winning tally in the shutout. Brown got the first of his three goals from Meisel at 23:38 and Desmond made it 3-0 at halftime from Nick Aubin at 36:10.
Brown scored goal two at 59:14 from Meisel to get the Mules off to a good start in the second half. He then got his hat trick just 1:29 later from Desmond. Josh Lyvers closed out the scoring about three minutes later from Aubin.
Dan Marden played about 53 minutes in goal and Doug Sibor played the rest in the Colby shutout. Erik Corcoran stopped 14 shots for UMF (7-5-2).

As of Thursday, December 6, 2012
© Copyright 2014 Gwinnett Daily Post
We were talking the other day in the newsroom about World War II veterans.
The Daily Post was running a front-page story the next day about Jim Starnes and Dutch Van Kirk and their visit to The Wesleyan School. Van Kirk was the navigator aboard the Enola Gay, the B-29 Superfortress that dropped the atomic bomb on Hiroshima, Japan, on Aug. 6, 1945. Three days later, another bomb was dropped at Nagasaki, and less than a month later the Japanese surrendered aboard the USS Missouri. Starnes was there for that momentous occasion. Both men are 91.
Most of the men of that generation are in their 80s or 90s now. The veterans of that war are dying at a rate of something like a thousand a day. It won't be too many more years before they're all gone and moments like the one at Wesleyan will be impossible.
During our discussion, we wondered if these kids knew how truly lucky they were, if they knew what an honor it was to see and listen to two of the men who saved the world from tyranny. And we lamented that too many in the future would have no idea, that the sacrifices of that generation would one day be just pages in a history book, as strange to consider as a Roman gladiator or a Napoleanic conscript.
The discussion then turned to our own relatives, grandfathers mostly, and their various duties, posts, battles and wounds -- and to how lucky we were to know their stories, even if some wouldn't tell them directly either out of pain of memory or fear of sharing something too horrible with someone too young.
My own grandfather died when I was 5 years old. I never got to hear his stories first-hand, only from my Granny, who just turned 90. Grandaddy fought in North Africa and later in Italy, where he was when Benito Mussolini was executed. One of the grandest days of my life came when I was about 12 or 13, when Granny opened an old box of his military things. I picked up a pair of leggings and poured sand out of them. Whether it was from an Italian beach or the Sahara desert I don't know, but it told me something no history book or television show could -- that these battles, these places, these horrible things were real, that real men and women took part in them. My Grandaddy was one of the guys who fought the Nazis and the Italians. I couldn't have been more proud.
If you'll look at the calendar, you'll notice today is another special World War II anniversary. Seventy-one years ago this morning the Japanese "suddenly and deliberately attacked," as President Franklin Roosevelt said, at Pearl Harbor and awoke the sleeping giant of America. About four years later, "the American people in their righteous might" -- men like Van Kirk and Starnes -- would put an end to Japanese conquest and make true Roosevelt's prediction of "absolute victory."
If you know one of these increasingly rare and remarkable people who fought World War II, take the time to thank them. If someone you knew is already gone, take the time to remember. Better yet, take the time to pass on their story to a young person.
Make sure the Greatest Generation never becomes a forgotten one.
