The phone call earlier this year telling Nellie and Anthony Pruitt they needed to adopt another baby came suddenly.
They already had taken in two children from Nellie's sister, who had been deemed unfit by a court. But Nellie's sister had another baby, and after the birth earlier this year, the hospital called, telling Nellie, "You better pick up your baby."
"My baby?" she asked.
They said if she didn't take the baby, Nellie recalled, he would end up in the state system.
So they took him in, and named him Jeremiah.
"That's family," Nellie said, "and you take care of family."
Now Nellie, 42, and Anthony, 44, are parents to three, and every moment is bustling, boisterous and a bit loud in their Fort Lauderdale home. For Nellie, who also has an adult son and reared a nephew, it's her second time starting a family.
It hasn't been easy, even if the Pruitts insist they are the luckiest people in the world.
They had to move out of their prior home because the landlord wouldn't fix the exposed wiring coming from the holes in the ceiling and wall, on top of the constantly increasing water and electricity bills. Their new place in Fort Lauderdale is in better shape but makes for tight quarters, with six people living in three bedrooms and two bathrooms.
And the quick move means they don't have much furniture. The living room is a collection of mismatched office and children's chairs with a small Christmas tree. They had to let go of their dining room table because it was too big for the new place. They hope to get a smaller table for the children.
The three youngest children have beds, thanks to the community-based care agency ChildNet, but Nellie's oldest son, Dontea Brown, 18, sleeps in his room on a mattress on the floor.
Times are tight, Nellie says, with the children taking up her days and her husband picking up as much construction work as he can.
And yet they couldn't say no when asked to raise a family. Nellie hated the thought of the children being scattered across South Florida, without her knowing where they were.
Nellie, Anthony and Dontea sat down, talked about it, and they all agreed.
Jasmine Ross came first. When Nellie's sister lost custody of her, Nellie told herself she could start over and raise a child again. Next came Ronald Ross, who everyone calls Ron Ron. He arrived as a newborn.
Again, Nellie told herself she could do this.
And last came little Jeremiah Moore.
"I'm just doing what I can," she said.
Yet to hear the Pruitts talk about their family, they have so much to be thankful for.
On weekends, they wake up to a bed full of children. One Sunday afternoon, Anthony is grilling chicken outside, while inside 2-year-old Jasmine doodles in her Dora the Explorer coloring book and Jeremiah sits on Nellie's lap.
Ronald, 1, starts a little mischief, pushing the television power button on and off.
When Nellie tells him to stop, Ronald throws a tantrum, tossing several small children's chairs to the floor. Nellie stays calm, with Jeremiah on her knee, telling Ronald, "When you get tired, you'll stop."
And he does. After a few minutes, a tired Ronald knows what to do. He grabs a small chair, points it at the corner and puts himself in time-out.
The Pruitts are in the process of legally adopting all three children and hope the process will be done before Christmas. But, legal terms aside, they're already a family.
Nellie lists with ease every child's favorite food, what size clothing they wear and personality quirks. Anthony admits he's the one more likely to spoil the children, especially Jasmine.
"I just want them to have a Christmas every day of their lives," Anthony said, "and have love to the fullest."
All three children already call them mom and dad.
"I told my husband," Nellie said, "I wouldn't change it for the world."

The reason i need to make another account is becuase my friends list on just my gaming one is full. I got ask to join a clan but all of the memeber wont fit so i made an account strictly for the clan. I have never been banned from anything. Once again the subject is highly irrelavent. Anything else you would to ask. Make a new profile and everyone becomes detectives. This is very entertaining besides the fact it has nothing to do with racism, but you just did me how you did trysa with the word tard that once again i point out that she never called anyone in this room one but people putting words in her mouth trying to manipulate whats going on. Shame
Thats when you delete people from your friends list.....
ones that havent been online in a long time.... you know... the ones that are always at the bottom of the list.

Its nonsense and no one cares but yet you took the time to repost my post and play the good cop bad cop with me by asking me a question that is in the post you took the time out to repost. Nitwitt much?
Its called QUOTING..... not reposting..... it is done to maintain the context in which a discussion between people can be easily understood without being confusing..... also lends to transparency when a moderator steps in to figure out whats going on.
I'm not playing "good cop/bad cop"..... you don't even know what that means.
Nitwit? Do you even know the meaning of anything you say?

Like i said tyresa i hope this plan goes through. I can repost this in game groups etc and get the word out and that list you was talking about with the signatures i want mh name one that list and i have some clan members as well.
No one here is stupid enough to believe you.
We're pretty smart enough to know that YOU ARE Tryresa who simply got banned from the forum and now made a new forum account to continue your hostility on this thread and to spread more inflammatory comments among this community.
Hiding under the guise of "I had to make a new account for my clan because I maxxed out my friends list" is total BS....
And then you make a thread about trolling others as a clan?
You're one stupid troll.

no. You don't know what you're saying, because you can barely think straight yourself.

We're trolling the troll.

This person believes they are somehow "above the law" as if the rules don't apply to them, except applies to everyone else....

I would REALLY wish that you'd simply delete this thread and ban "dachoosenwontron".
Would make things so much more peacful in the community for the time being.
These trolls not only affect one thread, but also affect other threads when it comes to others responding in kind except the frustration of dealing with an inflammatory individual, upsets the person and their message ends up hostile in nature

Lynn's Calm & Charming Bedroom
My Bedroom Retreat Contest
Like this entry? Favorite it below!
- Name:
- Lynn
- Location:
- Fairport,
- Division:
- United States
- What do you love about your bedroom?:
- I love the eastern and southern light. Have never had an apartment with great light, did not think I needed it, turns out I do! The eastern window next to the bed has a large fire escape that I have big plans for this spring/summer. For now it is host to many birds. It keeps my cat entertained in a relatively small apartment. I also appreciate the compact size, forcing only the essentials.
- What are your tips for creating a beautiful, healthy and organized bedroom?
- For me I need zero clutter, calm and charming but not overly done to ensure I actually fall asleep. I love the look of vintage cabin/cottage vacation rentals, you just know that whatever art is displayed there was not a whole lot of thought put into it. It was hung once and there it stayed, forever. Tried to capture a bit of that haphazard random simplicity.
- In modern homes, bedrooms have become more than just a place to sleep; they can be a retreat, a home office, a library, a relaxation zone. What are some ways you make the most of your bedroom?
- My bedroom is for sleeping and reading, lots of reading. The desk is a sewing table so it doubles as sewing project space. Computer is never in bedroom, it's a low tech quiet zone.

proves that something so simple can be so inviting and lovely
I love your dresser! Where is that from?
Is that a kitty water bowl on the floor in the last picture? If so, how considerate! This is such a lovely and peaceful room. I dig the old-timey vibe (gingham curtains!) and am jealous of those windows. I don't think I've ever had a bedroom with two exposures!
Beautiful, Lynn! It definitely captures the simplicity and charm of village homes.
I'm in Fairport, too. :)
I love this bedroom! Wood. White. The door. The blue blankent. Cosy. Clean. x
I think I would place the bed so that I could walk around it, even if that means losing the desk or other piece of furniture. This is because my bedroom is so tiny that I don't have that option. But, really lovely. Love the color or that bedspread.
So calm and peaceful. Simple and lovely. A place to think and not be bombarded by the world.
I wonder what type of shelf that is above the radiator. Wood? If so, does it warp?
Hi everyone thanks!
the dresser is vintage and I have had it forever.
I would love to be able to walk around the bed but the doorway to the br is on the other side of the night stand, very tight fit.
I have marble tiles on the radiator. in a perfect world it would me a marble mantel or small dresser top but they tend to go for $$ so until I find one thrift the marble tiles from home depot work great.
I really love this.
This is good because it's clean, uncluttered and comfortable looking w/o being severe minimal or all girly swirly. Thankfully, it also doesn't look like granny's farm bedroom.
Great room. Love all the furniture and how the bed <-> rug <-> desk colors work together.
This does look very calming and charm and definitely reminds me of a cottage vacation rental. It seems as if it's very "intentional"; I would love to see the rest of your home.
So restful and inviting. I love a cozy yet minimalist bedroom.
This is absolutely perfect. Thoughtfully curated, subtle, and unique. I would love to see the rest of Lynn's place!
Very cozy and pleasant. I'm a fan of the dirty old string hanging from the overhead light fixture--reminds me of many places I have loved.
where does she keep her clothing?
So pretty! Where did you get your blue quilt/bedspread?
Hi thanks! the quilt is from urban outfitters...they don't have the same one anymore but I think there is one in the same color available and if you wait a bit they usually go on sale!

Mariah Carey isn't letting a dislocated shoulder cramp her fashion style. The diva hit the red carpet in New York City on Monday night with her arm in a sling -- a fashion-forward, leather-studded sling, which matched her little black dress.
Mariah, who dislocated her shoulder last month during a video shoot, has been undergoing intensive physical therapy ever since. At a New York screening of her latest movie, Lee Daniels' The Butler, she told E! Online that she'd been for X-rays earlier in the day, and joked that she's had "more MRIs that the guy who invented MRIs."
Her husband Nick Cannon , meanwhile, joked that his wife had "a sling for every outfit," and he's not kidding: when she attended an earlier press conference for the movie, she was sporting a black lace sling. And when she performed in New York's Central Park last month, she wore a white sequined sling.
In Lee Daniels' The Butler , Mariah plays Hattie, the mother of the main character, who grows up to become a butler in the White House, serving seven presidents. She's only in the movie for the first ten minutes and is far from her glamorous self, just like her character in director Lee Daniels ' previous film Precious.

This seminar will examine the development of the overseas information and communications technology (ICT) sector in Ireland by considering the various factors influencing the evolution of Irish-based computer services affiliates. In doing so, it attempts to situate the process of affiliate evolution with the Global Production Network (GPN) framework. Large inflows of ICT-related investment contributed to Ireland's rapid growth during the 1990s. However, much of this investment involved predominantly cost-driven activities like PC manufacturing and low value-added services like call centres and shared services. As firms have begun relocating these activities to lower cost locations like Eastern Europe and India, Irish-based affiliates must become more involved in knowledge-driven activities in order to maintain their Irish presence. Computer services represent one niche of the multinational ICT sector that already centres on high value-added, knowledge-intensive activities. The study draws heavily upon three key case studies, HP's European Software Centre, EDS's Solution Center and IBM's Global Services division. It finds that factors occurring at four different levels of influence-the industry context, the corporate level, affiliate characteristics and the host economy-affect the development of individual affiliates

"And now, son of man, prophesy to the mountains of Israel.
Say, 'Mountains of Israel, listen to God's Message. God, the Master, says, Because the enemy crowed over you, "Good! Those old hills are now ours!" now here is a prophecy in the name of God, the Master: Because nations came at you from all sides, ripping and plundering, hauling pieces of you off every which way, and you've become the butt of cheap gossip and jokes, therefore, Mountains of Israel, listen to the Message of God, the Master. My Message to mountains and hills, to ditches and valleys, to the heaps of rubble and the emptied towns that are looted for plunder and turned into jokes by all the surrounding nations: Therefore, says God, the Master, now I'm speaking in a fiery rage against the rest of the nations, but especially against Edom, who in an orgy of violence and shameless insolence robbed me of my land, grabbed it for themselves."
As a teacher of Bible prophecy, I feel sometimes that I am asked too often about the famous Gog/Magog prophecy of Ezekiel 38-39. Sometimes people want to know exactly when this scenario will unfold. Not to mention those who insist that this battle already happened, in ancient times.
For many reasons, I believe Gog/Magog is yet future. Recent events compel me to join those who always ask me when it will unfold. I think it's close, too!
Please read those chapters for yourself, but in brief: a leader from a country north of Israel decides suddenly to invade Israel, with a coalition army. As soon as the army arrives in Israel, God supernaturally destroys most of it.
In Ezekiel 36, we read about Israel's enemies "crowing" that they have now taken possession of "the old hills." Technically, this could refer to the Golan Heights, seized by Israel from Syria during the Six Day War of 1967, but more likely, it refers to the country's heartland, the "mountains of Israel," which run through the middle of the country. The West Bank.
All this came into sharp focus today as the American president stunned the world by demanding that Israel retreat to its borders from the morning of June 4, 1967. In those days, Israel's borders did not include Gaza, the Sinai Peninsula, the Golan, or the West Bank (known in the Bible as Judea and Samaria).
In 1981, Israel returned the Sinai (thus fulfilling the return of 91 percent of the territory taken in '67—this is a little-known fact). In 2005, Israel pulled out of the Gaza Strip. The nation has also turned over the administration of certain territories in the West Bank, as well.
None of this has satisfied the international community. The demand now is to give up all the captured territory from 1967. Even American military planners have always known that those borders—in a sea of hostile Arab nations—are indefensible. Benjamin Netanyahu is making that argument now, but it won't matter to an international community intent on establishing a Palestinian state.
This scenario is just one more painfully obvious evidence that Bible prophecy is true and, just as important, it is with us today, right now. Please read all of Ezekiel 36, and meditate on the fact that that scenario fits very well with today's geopolitics in the Middle East. The Palestinians have thirsted for the West Bank for 20 years, ever since the West pulled Yasser Arafat out of irrelevancy and exile and made him a Nobel Prize winner.
Another common question is, "Who is Gog?" Some say a Russian leader; others come up with different candidates.
But it doesn't matter. Why?
Because Gog is coming. And hell is coming with him.

At a Georgia State University speech Monday, "Project Runway" guru Tim Gunn dished about his show, not bothering to defend the fiasco that was season six anymore.
"Oh, that dreaded season six will never leave us alone!" he said, when asked by a student. "At first, I defended the show's qualities. Then I realized I was swimming against the tide… You barely see [regular judges] Michael Kors and Nina Garcia. I also say I do believe there's something about the slower pace of Los Angeles. The very different fashion scene and sensibility and that impacted the designers. We're in many ways a gauge of our environment. I noticed immediately when we taped season seven [the current season,] there was more energy, more vitality."
Lifetime's original plan, he said, was to alternate between New York and Los Angeles. After season six, he thinks the plan is to stay in New York.
Who would he like to do a makeover? Meryl Streep. At one awards show, "she looked like she was going to a picnic," he said.
Gunn also admired the Georgia State crowd: "This is the best-dressed crowd I've ever seen! I could be at the tents in Bryant Park!"
Favorite season: "Reason it's hard for me to answer that question. Each season is like a class of students for me. They're all different. They have differnt DNA. I will say though that season four that produced Christian Soriano. That was a phenomenal season… he's a prodigy."
His fashion icon? "You guys are too young. Cary Grant! [Applause. At least some in the crowd knew who he was!] I said his name to a small group of students awhile ago and they said, 'Who's she?' He was always well dressed. Even when he's dodging a plane in the middle of a cornfield, he looks good."
And though he lost "Tim Gunn's Guide to Style' when Bravo lost "Project Runway," he is working now with Dr. Mehmet Oz on his syndicated show. (Oprah, he said, helped hook him up.)
He said he likes talking to students though he only has time to do a couple of these university visits a year. So Georgia State really got lucky nabbing him! "I'm a big fan of the school," he said. "I like the breadth of the offerings."
I did a short video interview with Gunn as well and sound like a chipmunk. I realized starting the video my battery was almost dead so I had set it aside for a few minutes to give it some juice while he took a bathroom break. Fortunately, we had time. "Make it work," he said, as I fumbled about. Naturally!
I got about six minutes in before getting cut off by the dying camera.
He didn't say who he really liked among the remaining designers. His thought on the always entertaining Atlanta denizen Anthony Williams: "He is really who he is and he is quite a character. Thank God for his humor because it works in the workroom." Emilio Sosa, he noted, is "as arrogant as he is talented."
Gunn said though the show gives the impression he's in the design room quite a bit, he actually spends hours there. And when he's not in there, he's in the production room watching. He also said the time it takes to do the fashion show and elimination is six or seven hours but is cut to about 20 minutes of actual airtime.
Notably, he said Lifetime has been hands off in terms of the judging but Bravo "meddled" excessively with who got eliminated during season five, the network's final year with the show. (Clearly, he is not a fan of Bravo anymore.)
After the video, I just took notes. "It's hard for me to watch Bravo these days," he said. "It was not a pleasant split." [Bravo and NBC sued the "Project" producers and Lifetime television and held up the show for nearly a year before settling.]
He also has a second book coming up that will be chock full of anecdotes, something his 2007 book didn't have much of. Out in September, it's tentatively called "Gunn's Golden Rules." "It's about how to navigate and be respectful human beings," he said.
Also in the video intro below, I inadvertently said he still works at the Parsons School of Design. He left three years ago and now works at Liz Claiborne.
And here is some of his speech, talking a bit about the beginning of "Project Runway."
This Thursday is a repeat of "Project Runway." Why? I have no idea. Gunn, who writes a blog for Lifetime, was relieved to know so he could delay writing his thoughts an extra week.

I was there on Monday and it was amazing! Tim Gunn is one of the nicest people I've ever met. He was SO gracious! I'm so glad I had the opportunity to meet him. I'll never forget it!

look, all i said was he is just a little too gay for me. how do you know i'm not gay myself? i'm being treated as if im advocating the gas chamber for the guy. i prefer the more butch kind of gay – someone like maybe neil patrick harris. that's all i'm saying. i just get tired of people on these boards who automatically sling hate to anyone who posts something that they may not agree with. we're all God's children, i'm good with that. i guess from now on i'll only post feel-good thoughts i can't get in trouble posting

The problem wasn't L.A…. it was bad production! They're isolated anyway. If L.A. is so bad, we'd never have had Rami. Or Santino. Or Jeffrey. Or LOTS of other favorites. It's a tired cliche and I am sad to hear Tim repeat it. Still love him tho!

Neil Patrick Harris is hardly my idea of butch! Sounds like you're into the poufters. And yes, that is coming from a f*g.

SPOKANE, Wash. --A judge set bail at $1 million for two Spokane transient accused of murder. Vincent Merrill and Dakota Moss faced the judge Friday afternoon.
They were arrested Thursday after a body was found in the Spokane River near the Hamilton Bridge.
Merrill, 20, and Dakota Moss, 24, face first-degree murder charges.
Spokane Police Department officials said the victim was found bound with rope and had a bag over his head. Both the victim and the two suspects were transients living in the area where the body was found, according to officials.
"We believe it was a combination of strangulation and blunt force trauma from a rock was most likely the weapon," said Spokane Police Lt. Mark Griffiths.
People fishing found the body and flagged down a runner to call 911 according to police.
Court documents identified the victim as Mark Pedersen, 40. The Medical Examiner listed his death as a homicide.
Court documents said the suspects worked together to plan and execute the murder. The documents said they wrapped a white cord around the victim's neck until he stopped moving. Then, they wrapped him in a blanket and hit him on the head.
Officials said a woman living under the Hamilton bridge near Riverpoint told them the nigh Pedersen died, Merrill told her and the others to take a walk. She said when she came back Pedersen was gone and Merrill told them "he went swimming."
Officials said Dakota is reportedly cooperating and claimed MeRrill was the ring leader.
Court documents also said Merrill believed Pedersen was a child molester.
Spokane Police are looking into that claim but Pedersen has no history of molestation and doesn't have a criminal record in Spokane County.

How do I make a .net application MDI aware. In ObjectArx, acrxRegisterAppMDIAware(...) is used. Is there an equivalent method in .Net? I am using VS 2010 for AutoCad 2012. Any ideas?
All .NET applications are MDI aware, so there is no need to notify AutoCAD to that effect.
Thanks Owen. After you have replied, I thought it must be something else so I checked the SDI setting in Autocad and it was set to (1). I set it manually to (0) and all works fine. Is there a way to set this variable value in .net to ensure MDI awareness?
Mike B
You can add code to your application that checks SDI at load time and refuses to run when SDI is set to 1, but you can't (and shouldn't even if you could) reliably switch SDI mode.

Barbie only wishes she had this dress! The lovely Miss Kara takes prep to a whole new level of feminine and wears pink head to toe, wearing a loud print with a softer shoe to break up the color.
Kristen of "The Boston Fashionista"
Kristen's dress is the very picture of New England polished, and we just want to sail away on vacation in this dress.
McKenna of "McKenna Bleu"
McKenna's outfit proves that prep doesn't have to be in Oxford blues and grays! She livens up her stripe with a bright yellow and florals galore, and we admire her style bravado!
Lynzy of "Sparkling Footsteps"
While stripes might be the queen of preppy print, polka dots are a refreshing new take on the trend. Both sweet and stylish, we can't help but fall in love with Lynzy's darling look, and don't get us started on how much we love that hat.

Pick up a new pair of jeans at tonight's "Denim & Blues" party, a work-appropriate blouse at tomorrow night's "Blazers & Button-Ups" party, and the perfect dress for a fun night out at our "Cocktail Dresses" party Sunday night!

The White Lantern Corps is a fictional organization appearing in comics published by DC Comics, related to the emotional spectrum.
The first White Lantern Corps member was created when Sinestro of Korugar bonded with the Entity, the embodiment of life itself.[1] However, the Entity is removed from Sinestro by Nekron, and then claimed by Hal Jordan who, joined by the Flash, uses its power to rescue Superman, Superboy, Wonder Woman, Donna Troy, Ice, Animal Man, Kid Flash, and Green Arrow, who have all been turned into Black Lanterns by Nekron, as well as the Anti-Monitor. Jordan then uses the power of the Entity to revive Nekron's tether to the living world, Black Hand. The revived Black Hand regurgitates twelve white rings that destroy Nekron's body, and revive the Martian Manhunter, Aquaman, Deadman, Hawkman, Hawkgirl, Jade, Firestorm (Ronnie Raymond), Osiris, Hawk, Maxwell Lord, Captain Boomerang, and Professor Zoom.[2]
After the defeat of Nekron, all heroes that have been turned into White Lanterns are discharged from the Corps, save for Deadman, who is shown to be the only resurrected character retaining a white power ring as of Brightest Day #0.[3]
The Entity tells Deadman that it is dying, and that he needs to find the "chosen one" to replace it; this becomes Deadman's assigned task. Deadman considers Hal Jordan to be the perfect candidate, and tells the Entity to take him to him.[4] Instead of taking him to Hal Jordan, the White Lantern Ring takes Deadman and Dove to Aquaman and Mera. Aquaman explains what the White Lantern has told him: to find Jackson Hyde. Deadman questions why the Lantern has taken him to Aquaman when he should be searching for the Entity's replacement, and the ring replies that to find the new Entity, Deadman must help all the other resurrected complete their tasks. Aquaman understands what is at hand and explains to Deadman that for him to succeed, he must find and help others and explain to them what needs to happen.[5]
Meanwhile, the White Lantern is acquired by Deathstorm (the Black Lantern version of Firestorm) who, by infecting it with his essence, is able to generate Black Lantern duplicates of the twelve heroes and villains resurrected by the Entity, apparently with the goal of preventing the resurrected from completing their tasks.[6]
When his white ring reaches 100%, Deadman approaches Hawkman and Hawkgirl after their mission on Hawkworld. As a secondary labor, the Entity has asked them to live separate lives so that they may strengthen their existence, but they object. Hawkman tries to remove the White Power Ring from Deadman by force, but the Entity reduces them to white dust in front of Deadman's eyes. Meanwhile, Deathstorm and the Black Lanterns are shown delivering the White Battery to someone on Qward.[7]
Deadman commands the ring to resurrect the two heroes, but the ring refuses, saying that this is part of The Entity's plan. It is revealed that when Nekron attacked the Earth, not only was The Entity mortally wounded, but the contamination of the planet was also heightened. Furthermore, the corruption will rise up in the form of another "dark avatar" of the darkness who will try to destroy the Star City forest, which is the key to save Earth's soul. The Entity resurrects the twelve characters with different purposes. Some of them, like Hawk, Maxwell Lord and Jade, are supposed to prevent further disasters and give Deadman and the Entity more time. But five of them (Aquaman, Firestorm, Martian Manhunter, Hawkman and Hawkgirl) are resurrected in order to overcome what held them back in life (what the Hawks already did by destroying the curse that haunted them) and by completing their tasks. Thus, their life force is purified and the ring takes their essences back because they are essential in saving Earth. Deadman also has a secondary purpose: to supply the white ring with power by embracing life.[8]
Later the ring takes Deadman to the beach where Aquaman and Aqualad are battling Black Manta and Siren. There the Entity reveals to Deadman that it was the Entity that freed the Xebel soldiers from the Bermuda Triangle in order for Aquaman learn the truth about Mera. Aquaman's alliance sends the soldiers of Xebel back to the Bermuda Triangle, therefore completing Aquaman's task, but the Entity reduces Aquaman to water, to Mera's sorrow.[9]
As Martian Manhunter completes his task, he is approached by the Entity, who tells him to choose between Mars and Earth. Martian Manhunter chooses Earth, and as he returns to the planet and reaches the forest in Star City he is again approached by Deadman. Deadman pleads for forgiveness, and the Martian Manhunter replies he understands since it's "part of the plan"; the Entity then merges the Martian Manhunter's essence with the planet Earth.[10] Meanwhile, Firestorm discovers that the Anti-Monitor seeks to harvest the life energy within the White Lantern in order to grow stronger. Firestorm takes the Lantern and attempts to fight the Anti-Monitor, but is defeated. Deathstorm then brings Professor Stein out of his Matrix to taunt the two. Deathstorm attempts to turn Ronnie to salt, but the Professor takes the brunt of the attack. Angered, Ronnie decides to truly work together with Jason to avenge the Professor. The Entity then declares that Ronnie has accomplished his mission, returning life to him in a burst of white energy that obliterates the Black Lanterns, returns Jason's father to his home, and deposits Firestorm in the Star City forest. Ronnie angrily attempts to make the Entity resurrect the Professor, but is refused. Deadman then arrives demanding that he be given the White Lantern.[11]
When the "Dark Avatar" makes his presence known, Deadman is forced to collect Ronnie's essence, turning Firestorm into one of the Elementals. The life forces of Aquaman, Martian Manhunter, Hawkman and Hawkgirl are also revealed to be part of the Elementals, which guard the forest located in Star City. They have been transformed by the Entity to represent the elements of Water (Aquaman), Fire (Firestorm), Earth (Martian Manhunter), and Wind (Hawkman and Hawkgirl). These elements protect the Star City Forest from the "Dark Avatar", which is revealed to be the Swamp Thing corrupted into a Black Lantern.[12]
The Entity reveals that Alec Holland perished in an explosion in his lab, and that the present Swamp Thing is not actually Holland but rather an elemental being that thinks it is Holland as a result of absorbing his memories. The Elementals end up fighting Swamp Thing, and The Entity explains that Alec Holland must become the new Swamp Thing. While the Entity tries to familiarize itself with Alec Holland, Captain Boomerang arrives to take part in his labor; it is revealed that Captain Boomerang's mission was to free Hawk as an Avatar of War from the Lords of Chaos, because his act of saving Dove would have broken their hold on him to be his own self. However, he fails to catch the boomerang he threw and instead it is caught by Boston Brand. Because of this, Boston Brand dies and uses his final act to transfer his white power ring to Alec Holland and bring him back to life, allowing him to become the new Swamp Thing and cleanse "The Green" from Nekron's influence by destroying the corrupted Swamp Thing. As Swamp Thing, Alec Holland restores life to natural areas around the world and declares that those who hurt "The Green" will face his wrath. He also restores Aquaman, Firestorm, Hawkman, and Martian Manhunter to normal.[13]
In the aftermath, Aquaman and Mera are reunited and are seen examining the Xebel technology, which turns out to be made from Atlantean technology. Ronald Raymond and Jason Rusch must find a way to contain their Firestorm matrix from the explosion less than ninety days hence. Hawkman discovers that Hawkgirl has not been restored to normal and goes off to look for her. Doctor Erdel's daughter Melissa begins to lose her mind, and the Martian Manhunter helps remove a piece of debris from her head. The book ends with Swamp Thing killing several businessmen who have engaged in polluting activities.[13]
The New 52[edit]
During the events of the "Rise of the Third Army" storyline as part of The New 52, Kyle Rayner begins uniting the powers of all seven Corps to stop the latest threat, despite Kyle's uncertainty about his ability to channel the powers.[14] After Kyle has mastered the seven powers of the emotional spectrum, he is transformed into a White Lantern with the ability to destroy some members of the Third Army, and now will apparently be able to stop the threat of the Guardians of the Universe.[15] Later, Kyle and Carol Ferris arrive at the destroyed planet Korugar. Sinestro attacks them both, blaming them that his home planet is destroyed by the villainous First Lantern. He notices that Kyle has become a White Lantern and demanded that Korugar be restored, but Kyle fails to resurrect Korugar. Sinestro struggles with Kyle for the white ring, attempting to become a White Lantern himself, but the ring rejects him. The white ring then comes into the possession of Simon Baz, but he is rejected as well. The white ring then returns to Kyle's ownership.[16]
Powers and abilities[edit]
Each White Lantern possesses a power ring that lets the user create white energy constructs powered by life itself. The original wielder of the Entity, Sinestro, displays the ability to eradicate swarms of Black Lanterns effortlessly and is described as "godlike". He also appears to survive a seemingly fatal wound from which he recovers within minutes.[17] When Hal Jordan wields the power, he demonstrates the ability to create additional rings and restore heroes claimed by Nekron to life.[2]
When Deadman possesses a white ring, he demonstrates the ability to resurrect a dead bird.[2] He is also able to transform the area of land devastated by Prometheus into a lush forest. However, this seems to be the work of the Entity, as Deadman had been unable to access the ring's powers himself.[3]
Similar to black rings, white rings initially have no charge. As the wearer embraces life again the ring rises in power level.[18] What happens when a white ring reaches one hundred percent charge remains unknown. The only thing known is that the ring as it charged itself gave Deadman the sensation that someone would die. As the ring reached 100%, it forced Deadman to meet the Hawks where the ring tasked them a second labor, however when Carter and Shiera refused to obey, both lovers were apparently reduced to white dust in the process.[7]
A green ring can be altered to function like a white ring if the user can master the emotional spectrum.[14] This version of the ring is similar to a much more powerful version of the standard green ring, and ignores the Third Army's resistance to Lantern constructs, but displays no other special properties thus far.[15] This white ring was unable to perform the resurrection to a planet's worth of beings that had died all at once, but it has not yet been tested on an individual basis to determine if this is a limitation of function or simply scope;[16] Kyle claimed that he can only heal rather than raising the dead, but this may be an assumption rather than a fact.
The White Lantern Corps has the ability to use any oath, but this one was soon created after Kroken's death.
—White Lantern Corps Oath
- Swamp Thing – The Chosen One that took the Entity's place.[13]
- Kyle Rayner - After mastering the seven colors of the emotional spectrum into his own ring, Kyle created the white light and became a White Lantern.[15] Kyle is the only White Lantern whose powers did not originate from the Entity or being chosen by the ring. For a brief moment Kyle lost the white ring to Sinestro and then to the new Green Lantern of Earth, Simon Baz. However the ring soon returned to him after finding the two former lanterns unsuitable as hosts.The only other person who the ring found suitable is Hal Jordan. [19]
Former members[edit]
- Sinestro of sector 1417 – Possessed by the Entity and discharged from the Corps after Nekron removed the Entity from him.[1][2] During the events of "Wrath of the First Lantern", Sinestro tries to become a White Lantern once again so he could reconstruct Korugar and resurrect all its inhabitants, stealing Kyle Rayner's white ring, but the ring found him unsuitable as a host.[16]

- Animal Man of sector 2814 – Discharged from the Corps after Nekron's defeat.[2]

- Deadman of sector 2814 – Chosen to be the vessel of the Entity.[21] Discharged from the Corps after giving his life to protect Dove and create the new Swamp Thing.[13]
- Simon Baz of sector 2814 – Chosen by the white ring itself, but found him unsuitable after an attempt to restore Sinestro's home planet Korugar.[16]
Nekron unearths a creature referred to as the "Trespasser". Like Nekron, the White Lantern Entity does not belong to the Emotional spectrum, but instead is the embodiment of the white light that creates life. It assumes the shape of a massive winged humanoid creature. There is no telling if the birth of the Entity was by accident or with purpose. As the light fought against darkness, stars and planets were born including a planet at the very spot the Entity entered - Earth. As the Entity's influence spread, life was created and, with life, emotions. As emotions began to manifest, so did the seven emotional embodiments.[1]
It appears that the Entity resided inside the White Power Battery that landed in Silver City, New Mexico and communicated with Deadman through his white ring.[2] The Entity reveals that it is dying and that the twelve heroes and villains were resurrected with the express purpose to complete a task before they can truly live again.[21]
The Labors of the Twelve[edit]
- Deadman – Locate "the chosen one" that will take the Entity's place.[21] Mission accomplished, after being mortally injured saving Dove, his lifeforce was used to resurrect the Swamp Thing.[13]
- Hawkman – Prevent Queen Khea from leaving Hawkworld.[21] Mission accomplished.[7] Given a second task – Must live life separately to live life stronger, but Carter refused to be separated from Hawkgirl again so the Entity collected his lifeforce to became part of the Air Elemental.[7][12] He was restored to normal when Swamp Thing became the new Life Entity and is now forced to live life separately from Hawkgirl, since she was the only one to stay as an Elemental.[13]
- Hawkgirl – Prevent Hath-Set from killing Hawkman.[21] Mission accomplished.[7] Given a second task – Must live life separately to live life stronger, but she refused to be separated from Hawkman again and her lifeforce was collected by the Entity to became part of the Air Elemental.[7][12] When Swamp Thing became the new Life Entity, he forced the two lovers to live life separately, as Hawkgirl was the only one to stay as an Elemental while Hawkman was restored to normal.[13]
- Martian Manhunter – Burn down the newly formed forest on Mars.[5][21] Mission accomplished. His lifeforce was merged afterwards with the planet Earth to create the Earth Elemental.[10][12] He was restored to normal when Swamp Thing became the new Life Entity.[13]
- Aquaman – Locate Jackson Hyde before Xebel's Death Squad does.[5][21] Mission accomplished. His lifeforce was collected by the Entity afterwards to create the Water Elemental.[9][12] He was restored to normal when Swamp Thing became the new Life Entity.[13]
- Firestorm (Ronald Raymond and Jason Rusch) – Learn from each other and defeat the Black Lantern Firestorm (currently calling himself Deathstorm) in the Firestorm Matrix before he destroys the Entity.[21] Mission accomplished. Ronnie's lifeforce was collected by the Entity afterwards to create the Fire Elemental.[12] Ronnie was restored to normal when Swamp Thing became the new Life Entity.[13]
- Hawk – Catch the boomerang that Captain Boomerang throws at Dawn Granger.[21][22] Mission failed as the Avatar of War cannot be influenced by the Life Entity.[13]
- Professor Zoom – Free Barry Allen from the Speed Force. Mission was already accomplished in The Flash: Rebirth.[21][23]
- Captain Boomerang – Throw a boomerang at Dawn Granger.[21][24] Mission accomplished.[13]
- Osiris – Save his sister Isis from her fate.[21][25] Mission accomplished.[26]
- Maxwell Lord – Prevent Magog from plunging the world into war.[21][27] Mission accomplished.[28]
- Jade – Help her brother Obsidian to "balance the darkness".[21] Mission accomplished.[29]
The Entity also allowed itself to be corrupted by Deathstorm, the Black Lantern version of Firestorm, and brought back the Black Lantern versions of the twelve resurrected heroes and villains. It was later moved to Qward in the Anti-matter universe only to take some kind of information from the Anti-Monitor. The White Power Battery has since been returned to Earth[11] and after locating the Chosen One, the Entity and the White Power Battery left for parts unknown.[13]
New 52[edit]
The Entity as since began searching for the seven emotional embodiments who are at large after the War of the Green Lanterns, as it appears they are all dying from causes still unknown. Also the Entity reveals to Predator that they must see the White Lantern aka Kyle Rayner as it appears he's the only one who can help save the embodiments.[30] The Entity traveled to Oa with Predator, Ophidian and Proselyte in town, to collect Ion. The Entity soon reveals to the Green Lanterns that all embodiments are dying and they must return to the place of their origin.[31]
Other versions[edit]
In the alternate timeline of the "Flashpoint" event, the Entity slumbers deep beneath the Earth's surface. Concerned for its safety, the Guardians of the Universe order Abin Sur to locate it in order to retrieve it and bring it back to Oa before Earth is destroyed.[32] When Abin Sur arrives on Earth, he refuses to look for the Entity until after he helps Earth's superhumans stop the Atlantis/Amazon war.[33] The Guardians grow impatient with Abin and discharge him from the Corps. During the final battle of the Atlantis/Amazon War, a device triggered by the Atlanteans triggers an earthquake. Abin leaps into a crevice in an attempt to stop the destruction only for his ring to run out of power. The Entity then awakens and joins with Abin, turning him into the White Lantern and giving him the power to restore the Earth before he flies out into space.[34]
