text: By Eric Drumm [Welcome to Make Mine Marvel, a bi-weekly series of articles devoted to all the things we've loved about Marvel over the past 60 years. From toys to video games, movies to trading cards, Underoos to stamps and more, we embrace it—warts and all. Kick back and enjoy Marvel's merry past with us.] 1992 was wrought with milestone events. The Redskins won the Superbowl, the Penguins took home the Cup and Bill Clinton took over in the Oval Office. For us comic folk, there was "Infinity War," "Operation Galactic Storm" and "X-Cutioner's Song," but the real gem of the Nine-Duece was Series 3 of the Marvel Universe Trading Cards. The first two series revved us up, but Series 3 drove us positively batty with upgrades in all areas. Mainstay features like Heroes, Villains and Teams stuck around for Series 3, complete with power ratings and info, but added to each card was a personal quote and the issue the quote was said. For example, the hard-brawlin' Luke Cage, fresh into his new series was quoted on his card (from CAGE #1, May, 1992) saying, "I bust heads for the American dream, life, liberty and the pursuit of Beaucoup cash." Hmm, that's a far cry from being the leader of the New Avengers and the softy family man he is today...and actually kind of awesome. Another feature making a return: the Rookie cards. Slapstick makes an appearance, and then didn't really show up much until 15 years later in AVENGERS: THE INITIATIVE. However, tattooed time cop Bishop makes his debut here, and we've grown to love him and his jerry curl over the years. Are you listening, X-office? Bring back the 'mul! New features in Series 3 were varied and provided sweetness from all corners of the Marvel Universe. The fresh Team-Ups menagerie of cards featured famous and not-so-famous pairings. Old school team-ups like Beast and Wonder Man had their own cards, but lesser known bro-downs like Spider-Man and Sleepwalker got the spotlight as well. Can't villains be BFF too? Even evil dudes need friends, and Series 3 shed some light with Team-Up cards such as Red Skull and Baron Zemo and Juggernaut and Black Tom. Wolverine made quite a few appearances in this section with an almost ridiculous seven team-ups in all. Ah, the '90s. Additional new sections fleshed out the rest of the set. Cosmic Beings was a good way to categorize characters such as the Watcher and the Living Tribunal who don't really fit into Hero of Villain classes. Replacing the Events section was Wars, recanting massive crossovers such as Secret Wars and the Infinity Gauntlet. The Origins sections provided retellings of how classic heroes such as Captain America and Daredevil came into being, and the Milestones section was a vehicle to remember events that shaped the course of the Marvel Universe such as The Death of Gwen Stacy and Fall of the Kingpin. Most of all, the complete overhaul in the art and presentation of the cards is what made Series 3 a cut above the rest. With signature starry backgrounds and creative paneling, the characters were literally leaping off the cards. And the superstar talent didn't hurt either. Industry heavies such as Erik Larsen, John Romita Jr, Jim Lee, Steve Epting and Marc Silvestri all lent their pencils to make this series something special—and it worked. With stellar art, more info and anecdotes than ever before as well as prestigious presentations of all our favorite characters, Series 3 was a milestone within itself. It's still fun to open up the binder and reread where these folks were 15 years ago, how things have changed and how they've stayed the same. Like the other early '90s Marvel Trading Card sets, Series 3 provides moments frozen in time, snapshots of an era of long gone but which laid the groundwork for the Marvel Universe that we have today. *Once again, we're hologram-less. If you have them and can scan them in—front and back—at 400 dpi, post a message in the forum. We'll post 'em up, give you credit and maybe a little something something for your troubles!

A handmade cross vanishes from a makeshift memorial in Warwick. The cross is in memory of a 16–year–old girl who was hit and killed by a school bus four years ago. Her mother is pleading the cross be returned for what would have been her 20th birthday on Wednesday.
"Just to think that she would be 20, and not a teenager anymore, it's a big day for me," said Bobbie-Jo DelBonis.
For the past four years, Bobbie–Jo DelBonis has celebrated her daughters birthday without her.
"It's different every year, I think about her everyday, it doesn't have to be a birthday, or the anniversary, or a 20th birthday," she explained.
16–year–old Kimberly Pisaturo was walking to school one morning in Warwick in 2009 when she was struck and killed by a school bus while crossing the street.
"There are some mornings when I wake up and say to myself this didn't happen, still, and when people tell you it's going to get easier, it never gets easier,"said DelBonis.
Instead of celebrating her daughters life on the eve of what would have been her 20th birthday, she's searching for the handmade cross, made by a close family friend, now missing from Kim's memorial.
"It's made of teak, he handmade it, he's an engineer he did such a beautiful job on it," she said.
A relative called DelBonis last week to tell her she noticed it was gone. With each passing day, her hopes of finding one of the only things she has left to remember Kim, are dwindling.
"She doesn't have a grave, I haven't been able to let her ashes go, and I don't know if I'll ever be able to, so this is the one spot that they can go and find comfort," said DelBonis.
DelBonis says she'll bring balloons and flowers to Kim's memorial for her birthday, like she does every year. She just wishes her daughter's cross was there too.
"It can be replaced, but that's her cross that was made for her as a gift, and I just would love to have it back," she said.
DelBonis says the cross was zip-tied to the fence and it would have been difficult to remove. She says she doesn't care who took it, she just wants it back.

Snow Performance's Boost Cooler takes intercooling to another level, chemically. The system injects a mixture of water and methanol into the intake tract and ultimately into the combustion chamber along with the existing air/fuel mixture. The added water and methanol cools the intake charge even more, making it denser, which means increased air volume and more power. Water has a high latent heat of vaporization, which means it can absorb heat better than almost anything else, including conventional intercoolers. But chemical injection doesn't just cool things down. The recommended water/methanol mixture takes the cooling process one step further by chemically increasing the existing fuel's octane rating. The higher octane mix allows for a slower burn in the chamber, which is the reason why additional ignition timing can be applied. That's the beauty of methanol, since it's a high-octane fuel itself, it will typically net about 20 octane points higher when mixed with regular pump gas. Even though methanol has such a high octane rating, it only has about half the energy content as gasoline does, meaning you'll use twice as much when used alone. But the Boost Cooler doesn't use straight methanol. It works best with a 51/49 water/methanol mix along with any vehicle's regular dosage of pump gas. At this rate, a two-quart reservoir will last the average 500hp car roughly 15 passes down the quarter mile. On the street this will last significantly longer.
The first thing you have to come to terms " with before installing any water or methanol injection kit is the fact that liquid injection by itself won't really get you any more horsepower. At first. When water is injected into the intake stream and sent to the combustion chamber as a vapor, it doesn't burn. It simply converts into a gaseous state and exits through the exhaust. During its state change the water absorbs much of the heat in the combustion chamber, lowering overall temperatures. The water occupies space that would otherwise be used for the air/fuel mixture, in turn, lowering temperatures but at the expense of some power since there's now less air and fuel in the chamber. As a side benefit, water also has a sort of cleaning effect inside the chamber, over time helping rid the area of potential hotspots and carbon buildup on valves, piston tops and the chamber itself. When methanol is injected into the intake stream though, it's also sent to the combustion chamber but, unlike water, it burns along with the existing mixture of gasoline. The addition of methanol makes for a much richer air/fuel mixture. Too rich really, and it's easy to actually lose a little power at first. In order to take full advantage of what methanol injection has to offer, things need to be leaned out. So without some sort of fuel controller, the benefits of methanol injection might be missed. It's possible to run a slightly leaner air/fuel mixture when using methanol than without. This is where the extra power from methanol injection starts to show up. This and the fact that more ignition timing can be applied are attributed to methanol injection's octane increasing effect. In some cases the addition of methanol has allowed ignition timing increases normally only associated with 118 octane, and this is with pump gas. This is because methanol actually burns slower than gasoline. It also has a much cooler flame front. And when combined with water, methanol also helps lower intake temperatures well over 100-degrees Fahrenheit. All of this is good when you're looking for safe horsepower increases.

Things I liked:every thing. nail driving accuracy, very powerful, i only have about a 30 yards in my back yard and i can get a 1 inch group with crosman premier hollow points.
Things I would have changed:a little larger air pressure fill. thats it
What others should know:you need a high quality scope for this gun so you can get all that accuracy out it. also it is very loud so go to tko22.com and buy the muzzle brake it make a big difference, and i have the .22 benjamin it is great for hunting it will go straight through squirrels and rabbits( heart and lung shot). ( the scope i have on my benjamin is a tasco 3-9x50mm) works great.
Things I liked: I was a little hesitate to order this gun because of the price but I'm glad I did. For the money I don't think you'll find a better gun and add in the accuracy this is a very nice well made pellet rifle.
Things I would have changed:Nothing--If its not broke don't fix it
What others should know: I've been into pellet rifles for about 25 years and have had some nice springers (RWS350magnum for one) that I thought was one of the best pellet rifles made but they don't come close to this rifle. I'm getting 24 good shots on a fill and 1" groups at 45 yds.
Things I liked:I bought my .177 Disco directly at the Pyramydair headquarters during their moving sale several years ago. It is light and can be used to teach teenagers and some children because of its size. It is very powerful, but that is not something that particularly interests me. Generally good finish but nothing to rave about. Maybe the newer models are better than mine
Things I would have changed:The pencil barrel it has whips around during firing and kills accuracy. I have tried everything. I tightened the barrel band, loosened it, added a second barrel band, wrapped the barrel and tank together. Remedies worked to varying degrees but not sufficiently. I cannot get a group smaller than 1.5 inch at 20 yd, which may be probably enough to shoot cans. I will sell this rifle as I did not succeed in trying to fix the design issues
What others should know:My Disco might suffice to shoot cans and maybe for pests at SHORT RANGE.

- If using frozen cranberries, chop cranberries while still frozen
- This is a nice chewy cookie, use of fresh/frozen cranberries verses craisins gives the cookie a nice fresh slightly tart flavor
- Cookies do spread during baking
- Crack eggs in a separate bowl to make sure egg is okay, and you do not get any shell into the rest of your mixture
- Dough will be sticky
- We recommend using a scoop for making balls of cookie dough – this will assist in making sure all balls are consistent in size for even baking
- We recommend placing parchment on baking sheet for easy removal of cookies, and speedy clean up – if using parchment, do not need to use non-stick cooking spray
- We do recommend adding the pecans as suggested or walnuts
- Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips could be substituted for the White Chocolate Chunks/Chips
- Creaming – "to beat and ingredient or combination of ingredients until the mixture is soft, smooth, and creamy. This term is often used when a recipe calls for a fat such as butter and blending it with sugar" (Food Lover's Companion – Herbst and Herbst)

Atheroembolic renal disease
Atheroembolic renal disease (AERD) is an inflammatory reaction in the small blood vessels of the kidneys.
Alternative Names
Renal disease - atheroembolic; Cholesterol embolization syndrome; Atheroemboli - renal; Atherosclerotic disease - renal
Causes, incidence, and risk factors
AERD is linked to atherosclerosis. Atherosclerosis is a common disorder of the arteries. It occurs when fat, cholesterol, and other substances build up in the walls of arteries and form hard substances called plaque.
In AERD, cholesterol crystals break off from the plaque lining the arteries. These crystals move into the blood stream. Once in circulation, the crystals get stuck in tiny blood vessels called arterioles. There, they cause intense swelling and pain that can harm the kidney or other parts of the body
The result is organ damage due to decreased blood supply. The kidneys are involved about half the tiome. Other body parts that may be involved include the skin, eyes, muscles and bones, brain and nerves, and organs in the abdomen. Acute kidney failure is possible if the reaction is severe.
Atherosclerosis of the aorta is the most common cause of AERD. The cholesterol crystals may also break off during aortic angiography, cardiac catheterization or surgery of the aorta or other major arteries.
In some cases, AERD may occur without a known cause.
The risk factors for AERD are the same as risk factors for atherosclerosis.
AERD may not cause any symptoms. If there are symptoms, they may begin suddenly, or slowly get worse over weeks or even months. Symptoms may include:
- Fever, muscle aches, headaches, and weight loss
- Flank (sides of the body) pain and blood in the urine (rare)
- Foot pain, ulcers on the feet, or "blue toes"
- High blood pressure that is difficult to control
- Pain in the abdomen, nausea, or vomiting
- Pancreatitis or hepatitis (rare)
- Strokes or blindness
Kidney failure may result in:
- Decrease in sensation (feeling)
- Decreased or no urine output
- Drowsiness, confusion, lethargy
- Dry itchy skin
- Loss of appetite
- Nausea or vomiting
- Skin pigment changes
- Swelling
- Weight loss
Signs and tests
The doctor will perform a physical exam. Swelling may affect the entire body. An eye exam may show particles in the small arteries of the retina.
The doctor will listen to your lungs and heart with a stethoscope. Abnormal sounds may be heard. For example, a loud whooshing sound called a bruit may be heard over the aorta or renal artery.
Blood pressure may be high. There may be multiple ulcers of the skin of the lower feet.
Tests that may be done include:
- Abdominal CT scan
- Abdominal MRI
- Abdominal x-ray
- Chem-7 or chem-20
- Complete blood count
- Kidney biopsy
- Kidney function tests including BUN and creatinine
- Kidney or abdominal ultrasound
- Renal arteriography
- Serum complement
- Serum lipids
- Urinalysis
There is no treatment for artheroembolic renal disease that works well. Treatment is focused on managing the complications.
Medicines may be used to treat high blood pressure and lower lipid and cholesterol levels.
- Your doctor may tell you to reduce fats and cholesterol in your diet.
- Other treatments for kidney failure or complications may be needed. If you have kidney failure, you may need to restrict protein, salt, and fluids, or make other dietary changes. See Chronic renal failure and End-stage kidney disease.
Your doctor may also recommend other lifestyle changes such as increased exercise or weight loss. Stopping smoking is extremely important.
Expectations (prognosis)
The outcome varies but is generally poor. The disorder slowly gets worse over time. Lifestyle changes may help slow progression of the disease.
- Acute renal failure
- Blood clots to other location of the body -- brain, intestine, legs
- Chronic renal failure
- High blood pressure
Calling your health care provider
Call your doctor if you have:
- A decrease in urine output or no urine production
- Blood in the urine
- Severe abdominal pain or leg pain
- Toes that turn purple and occur with foot pain
- Unexplained ulcers on your legs or feet
You can alter the factors that increase your risk of getting this disease. You should lose weight if you are obese, decrease or stop smoking, and follow your doctor's recommendations to control diabetes or high blood pressure. Reducing fats, especially saturated fats, in your diet may help to reduce serum lipid levels.

Capture the whole house aroma of an apple pie baking in the oven by draping dried apple ring garlands on your mantel or banister. They will add beauty and fragrance to your Christmas, and this is one craft you will enjoy munching while you string it.
Firm, tart apples, as freshly picked as possible, are best for drying; good varieties to try are Jonathan and Rome Beauty. But no matter what apples you use, make sure they are not mealy or bruised.
You'll first need to soak the apple slices in lemon juice or a solution of ascorbic acid (such as Fruit Fresh) and water to prevent them from discoloring as they are dried. You can add to their fragrance by sprinkling the slices with sweet spices such as cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, or mixtures of allspice and apple pie spice, but if you want your decoration perfectly white, leave the spices off.
For color, mix in lemon, grape, or magnolia leaves with the apples. Tie a pretty bow at each end of the garland, which will hide the string ends that you use to attach it; decorate the bows with jewels or crystal beads for festive sparkle.
To make the dried apple rings, peel and core the apples, and cut them into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Soak the slices in a bowl of lemon juice or ascorbic acid and water solution for 6 to 10 minutes, making sure the slices are submerged. Remove the slices from the solution, and pat them dry with paper towels. Dust both sides of the apples with spices, if you are using them.
Place the apple slices in a single layer on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Bake at 150 to 200 degrees F. for 6 hours or until they are completely dried. They should be slightly pliable.
To make the apple garland, cut a piece of jute into a length about a foot longer than you need it; you can trim it after the garland is made. It is better to string several shorter lengths than one very long one. Cut holes in the leaves to string them, if using. Thread the apple slices and leaves on the garland, and tie a decorative bow at each end. Paula loves to add a vintage broach to each end for a little holiday sparkle!
Don't want to decorate with your apples? How about just eating them!

I love the apple garland.... I bet the house smells wonderful! And I love the idea of adding a vintage broach for a bit of sparkle! Too pretty!
By Ellen on December 11, 2011
I think its a great idea. Had I thought of it I would have bought more apples when I went apple picking up in the mountains of South Carolina/North Carolina visited the orchards up on the mountain and had a great time picking the apples myself. Mom just made me some Jewish apple cake one of my favorites…not too sweet just right! Will try to use some apples next year!
By Brenda Davis on December 05, 2010

By Susan Yates on December 04, 2010
Yum Yum Your apple garland looks delicious. Great Idea. Just tie a little cinnamon to the bow and get the Christmas scent going!
By Tim Wallingsford on December 03, 2010
Love the garland Paula and Love your books,but in New Zealand it is too hot for apples and all my dried ones have long been eaten by the family.
By Cherie Drummond on December 03, 2010
Hi Paula,
What a fantastic idea… I love the bows at the end but, it needs a little spark.. Like little red holly berries and sparkle.
By Charsey Ascencio on December 03, 2010

By Mary Frances Walker on December 03, 2010
Hello mrs. Dean, I think anything that you come up with is just great! I wished your shows weren't on so late! I however won't be making the garland, not because I don't like it I do, but because my Husband & I can't afford to do very much Christmas this year. We do our level best to take care of our chrildren, and grandchildren. Between the 2 of us we have 12. But I do want to wish you and your a very merry Christmas.
By Kathy Gentry on December 03, 2010
Paula: You are a "Good Cooker"! That is what my grandson used to tell me. My favorite recipes are from YOU! Apple decorations are beautiful. Especially using them to hold the name tag at the table. Who would have thought of that, except Paula!
By Jane Hifiger on December 03, 2010
I love them Paula. Hey what happened with the glass decoration i sent to the Lady and Sons. Would love to see a pic of it. Thanks for all the great ideas. Keep them coming. Love you

I Love the garland idea. My daughter got married on 11/13/2010 and we had used apples for decorations at the reception. I made applesauce for days to use them and not waste them. Wow wished I had seen this first. But I have presents now. Merry Christmas!
By Colleen on December 03, 2010
Your's looks pretty. Did you make it yourself or your crew? The article didn't mention that it isn't always as easy as it sounds. I've tried drying apples before and they turned brown. Some of them didn't quite get dried out all the way and molded. I was very frustrated. It's not a look or smell that I would use, but everyone has their own taste when it comes to holiday decorating.
By Annette Switzer on December 03, 2010
Paula, I love you and I love and I love your shows. People say we talk alike,I am from Ga.
I love anything with fruit for decorations. I will try this, I bet it smells so good.
By Peggy Wilson on December 03, 2010
Hey, That's so awesome! I like the one looks like diamond earring for the bow ends!
I like cranberry and apples goes together. After holiday, they would be my snacks.

Jacques van den BerghGreat article, spot on, especially about the content agencies.
Audrey GreenwoodBranding is one key factor that drives sales. Without brand empowerment, consumers only make adhoc purchases to try out new products and the potential of them coming back to the same merchant is relatively smaller. However, once consumers are aware of a certain product name like packing boxes or even apparel, they will most likely be regular and loyal customers.

The all-new, seventh-generation 2014 Chevrolet Corvette won't make its debut until the North American International Auto Show next month. However, starting today, fans can get a taste of its performance and driving prowess by downloading a camouflaged prototype of the car through the PlayStation Store into their Gran Turismo 5 virtual garage.
The cover is tightly drawn over the Corvette's body, showing its aggressive lines and profile. Cutouts even reveal the taillights and centrally located quadruple tailpipes.
Testing is still ongoing, and a fully operational C7 Corvette will finally show its true colours in Detroit on January 13th.

<< < (2/5) > >>
--- Quote ---Actually, I think it's better. We do have other pages to add, relevant pointers, and it would be best to do so. Some are discussed in another topic here, IIRC. Others are in preparation.
--- End quote ---
How would you like to see it? This, because I don't have any ideas on a good front page.
--- Quote ---Thank you, live, for the initiative and time for it!
--- End quote ---
Sure. I do lack the time to do it properly sometimes, as may be evidenced from a fulll year of lack of contributions to the documentation.
--- Quote ---About function database transferring in the wiki: please note that SMF 2.1 and 3.0 (and up, of course), will have phpDoc-style documentation for the codebase. Which means it can be - and will be - automatically generated, and uploaded on the site. I don't really think another way to "transfer" is necessary (function database will remain available for legacy versions of SMF). Other than filling the useful information maybe, from function database, to SMF itself, to its phpDoc function documentation.
--- End quote ---
YAY!! That's great news! But, it generates flat files, although, Smarty (yes, that is the templating system it uses to format its output)) can be modified to inject its values into the database to become new wiki pages (err, I assume MW uses MySQL or equivalent).
--- Quote ---YAY!! That's great news! But, it generates flat files, although, Smarty (yes, that is the templating system it uses to format its output)) can be modified to inject its values into the database to become new wiki pages (err, I assume MW uses MySQL or equivalent).
--- End quote ---
Yes, MW uses MySQL but it doesn't do what you might think it does - you need to have inputs in multiple tables to make it work.
Better would be to have it dump files and then write an import script, sort of like what I did with SimpleDesk's docs, only actually putting them in a DB rather than anything else.
I'm not sure I'm following the latter. Why would you import them to the wiki? They're html pages, generated according to the template chosen (we will want a template fitting for this site though). Once uploaded to a section of this site, they can be browsed, read, consulted. They're function documentation, API documentation, which doesn't need to change other than by changes in the codebase, and regenerating it when necessary.
Am I misunderstanding something? (kinda late around here! :D)
Angelina Belle:
Anything you can do will be great.
The advantage of Main_Page is that it is organized the way WE want it, instead of automatically generated.
The difference is like that between a table of contents and an alphabetized index.
You provide guidelines, doc writers and helpers can help with the writing.

"All this really means is that I'm old," Kenseth jokingly said. "I'm proud having 500 starts. I remember making my first one, and I wasn't sure if I was going to even be able to make a second one. It's a very tough business, so I feel very fortunate to have been with such great people, and to have driven such great cars and had fantastic sponsors throughout my career to be able to still be in this sport and competitive after this many seasons."
Kenseth kicked off the Chase last Sunday with a victory at Chicagoland, a race delayed more than six hours due to rain. He currently holds an eight-point lead over Kyle Busch, his Joe Gibbs Racing teammate, and an 11-point advantage over Jimmie Johnson.
In his first season with JGR, Kenseth has scored a series-leading and career- high six victories. He's attempting to win his second Cup championship. His first title came in 2003.
After winning at Chicagoland, Kenseth has established himself as the Chase favorite. He will become the series champion if history repeats itself. The winner at Chicagoland, the first race in the Chase, went on to capture the title the previous two years (Tony Stewart in 2011 and Brad Keselowski in 2012).
"I think it's too early to really pick favorites," Kenseth said. "I think there's a ton of competition. When you look at the finishing position last Sunday, 10 of the top-12 were all drivers in the Chase."
Kenseth has struggled somewhat at New Hampshire in the past, recording just two top-10 finishes in his last 11 races here. His average finish over that span has been 18.6. He did finish ninth after leading 33 laps in his first race with JGR at this track in July. Kenseth's best finish at New Hampshire is second, which came in September 2004.
Busch finished second at Chicagoland. He also finished in the runner-up spot at New Hampshire earlier this season.
"There's still nine more weeks - nine long weeks to go," Busch said. "But I know this team is focused, and we'll try to have another good race at New Hampshire and keep up some positive momentum from last week."
Johnson has scored three wins and 16 top-10 finishes in his 23 starts at New Hampshire. He finished second here one year ago and placed sixth in the July race.
Kevin Harvick is presently fourth in points (-15), followed by Carl Edwards (-23) and Kurt Busch (-23). Busch, in his lone season with Furniture Row Racing before he moves over to Stewart-Haas Racing next year, finished fourth at Chicagoland.
"It's been an amazing ride, and to make the Chase with a single-car team was a nice accomplishment and something very gratifying, and now here we are one week into it and we have a nice top-5 finish," Busch said. "We need nine more of those along with a win. So I'm looking forward to the challenge. What keeps me even more hungry this year is that we haven't won yet, and I know we're capable of doing it, and here it is. The Chase, it's the most important time to win, so it would be great to see it all come together."
Busch won the inaugural Chase championship in 2004. His only win during the 10-race playoff stretch that year came at New Hampshire.
Forty-three teams are on the entry list for the Sylvania 300.
Series: NASCAR Sprint Cup. Date: Sunday, Sept. 22. Race: Sylvania 300. Site: New Hampshire Motor Speedway. Track: 1.058-mile oval. Start time: 2 p.m. ET. Laps: 300. Miles: 317.4. 2012 Winner: Denny Hamlin. Television: ESPN. Radio: Performance Racing Network (PRN)/SIRIUS NASCAR Radio.

Baby wake up... I wanna hear
your voice.
Sweetheart wake up...
Can you make a noise?
A whisper... A murmur... Or
maybe a sigh...
Oh how I wish that I could gaze
into your eyes...
Just to turn over for once and
have you there...
Peeking through the stillness is
my curiosity ensnared...
Your breathing concocting and
mingling with mine...
The sunlight creeping up along
your face through such
unsettled blinds...
Revealing a calmness of far
away places written across your
Me wanting to travel within
your mind at a slow but rapidly
steady pace...
Can I take in the things that
ignite... In your eyes... A
And may I see the things that
send you sprawling into locked
rooms with debacle?
Including the things that swiftly
or even slowly bring raindrops
and tears?
I'd like for you to wake up and
still dream of me for years...
Just knowing that I'll be
Just wanting me here...
Allocate your lighthearted
moments and heavily latent
thoughts my dear...
And when I see that you're
As soon as your eyes lazily
begin fluttering..
I'll quickly close my thoughts
and secure my silent notions...
Inhaling and exhaling my
fascination in slow motion...
As I take in your presence so
sweetly next to mine...
Falling asleep and dreaming
along side doubt's decline...
I just want you to arise and fall
each day with an irrefutable
Of my desires for you as I
tirelessly drift off into my
thoughts ardently...
Dreaming of your succulent
whispers in my ear...
And the giggles and smiles that
would flow quickly to my
heart's adhere...
Please let me love you the silly
ways I know how...
You've peeped farther within
myself than my heart should
have allowed.
With a yearning ear as well as
pensive aspirations...
At night...
Close your eyes with deep-
rooted considerations...
As you fall away from
conscienceness and protrude
I'm arising with thoughts of you
Attempting a fruitful vitality...
There will be a night where I
will fall asleep encased in your
And a sunrise where I can
watch as you awake and I
Cus I'm awkward and you're
Don't glare at me... I'll go
Can I keep you Deonté?
I really do love you.
No need for dismay...
I really do want you...
Just go to sleep darling; cus
I'm waiting for a big ass hug...
Then wake up and remember
that I'm still a fuckin thug.
I love you
I love you
I do.
I gotta ask one more time...
Babe... Can I keep you?
I miss your voice... It's ok
though cus I can't speak.
If I had a choice... I'd come see
you once a week.
I've begun to grow weary...
You're special to me.
Shhh to be with you? In time
but surely... Just wish I could
have written a better ending.

This is the most serious and useful collection yet published of solo arias from oratorios, masses and cantatas. The literature was confined to work by major composers, and by-passes the dated oratorio literature found in previous collections. The most famous music is here, and so is interesting and less famous music by masters. There are new music engravings for each aria, and extensive historical notes and translations. Solo instrumental obbligato parts, which can be cut from the book, are included on appropriate selections.

Even more than its predecessor, the comic-book-driven "Kick-Ass 2" can't bridge the inconsistencies between its depiction of cartoonish ultra-violence and its characters talking about the deadly consequences of such violence.
Dave Lizewski (Aaron Taylor-Johnson) is torn about whether to reprise his superhero persona of Kick-Ass, but is encouraged by Mindy Macready (Chlöe Grace Moretz), a k a Hit-Girl. But when Mindy feels the urge to leave crimefighting behind and try to be a normal high-school student, Dave joins a team of less-experienced wannabe superheroes, led by the tough-talking Colonel Stars & Stripes (Jim Carrey).
'Kick-Ass 2'
Opens Friday, Aug. 16, at theaters everywhere; rated R for strong violence, pervasive language, crude and sexual content, and brief nudity; 103 minutes.

Meanwhile, Dave's nemesis Chris D'Amico (Christopher Mintz-Plasse) vows to become a supervillain (with a name The Tribune won't print) and uses his vast fortune to amass an army of super henchmen.
The screenplay, adapted from the Mark Millar/John S. Romita Jr. comic book by director Jeff Wadlow ("Never Back Down"), pays lip service to the dangers these costumed vigilantes face on New York's mean streets — but then turns around and presents violence, like the murder of many cops or a rape scene, as a punchline.
Carrey disavowed the movie after the real-life shooting spree that killed 26 at a Connecticut elementary school; after enduring the meanness of the fake bloodshed here, I would acknowledge that he has a point.

Praised for an accessible style that pairs absurdity with a wide-eyed, aw-shucks demeanor, New York City-based comedian Joe Zimmerman released his debut album, "Smiling at Wolves," earlier this year. It reached number two on the iTunes charts and was met with positive critical reviews in January 2014.
In 2013, Joe made his Comedy Central debut on John Oliver's New York Stand-Up Show. He also made his late-night debut on "The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson," and he was chosen as one of the acclaimed New Faces at Just For Laughs Montreal. BuzzFeed named him a top comic to watch, saying, "Joe's calming vocalization and inventive writing is a thing of magic. You'd be hard-pressed to find a more enjoyable show."
Joe grew up in Morgantown, West Virginia, and began doing comedy in North Carolina after graduating from Davidson College. He is an original member of the Beards of Comedy who toured from 2008-2012 as one of the most highly requested tours in the Southeast.

"I didn't start accepting that I had big boobs until I was almost 30 years old," Shar said. "For a long time I felt self-conscious. I'd never wear a low-cut shirt or a revealing shirt. It could be hot as fuck outside and I'd be wearing a sweatshirt because I was trying to cover myself up. I didn't like myself for a long time. But my mother passed away a few years ago so I needed to make some more money to take care of my younger sister. So I went to bartending school. They told me I should work at a strip club because I have really big boobs and I'd do well there. They said I didn't have to strip, just serve drinks. I decided to do it, but then the owner of the bartending school told me I should be a cocktail waitress because it's easier and I wouldn't have to clean up after closing. I became one of the best waitresses in the company. I would come up with these crazy names for the drinks. We had this one drink called tequila rose that we needed to get rid of. Now tequila rose for a strip club in Texas where all the guys drink Coors Light is just not going to fly. So I would go out there and the guys would order their beers and I would ask them if they'd like a shot of pink pussy. They'd go, 'Pink pussy? Isn't all pussy pink? Yeah, I'll get a shot of that! In fact, gimme two shots!' And it would be tequila rose and they'd drink the hell out of it. I eventually got bored of doing that. But the point is that it gave me a confidence boost. Having big boobs was fun because a lot of the girls there didn't have big boobs and the ones who did had fake breasts. Then there would be the people who came there just to see me. All of a sudden I felt like it was kind of cool to have big boobs. I started to accept myself."

"Santa brought Roger and I the best gift of all...," Farley tweeted with alink to her announcement. On her website, the Jersey Shore star posted a card that read, "Happy Holidays from our growing family to yours! Love, Jenni, Roger and arriving July, 2014, Baby Mathews" alongside a picture of their sonogram.
Viewers got to see a different side of Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi on this season of Dancing with the Stars. The Jersey Shore alum demonstrated a work ethic and a sharp sense of humor that came as a shock to many viewers and competitors (including Bill Engvall) who were only familiar with her hard-partying MTV persona.
Though her run on Dancing came to an end when she and partner Sasha Farber were unexpectedly sent home on last week's show, Polizzi says she has no regrets. TVGuide.com caught up with the reality star to get her thoughts on her shocking elimination, the judges' feedback, and her new nickname, courtesy of Tom Bergeron.

Paid your taxes? You'll be glad to know part of your hard-earned cash is slated to be spent handing out superhero capes to the unemployed
The $73,000 program in Florida, dubbed the "Cape-A-Bility Challenge," also features a cartoon character named "Dr. Evil Unemployment," according to the Orlando Sentinel article.
Someone sane is trying to pull the plug on the whimsical plan.
"I have serious concerns with the content and approach" of the project, Cynthia Lorenzo, the executive director of Florida's Agency for Workforce Innovation, wrote to Workforce Central Florida Executive Director Gary J. Earl. "With more than one million Floridians currently out of work, spending any amount of money on collateral materials such as the red capes included in your campaign appears to be insensitive and wasteful."
The "Cape-A-Bility Challenge" is part of an "Everyday Superheroes" theme the agency has adopted, according to the Sentinel. Workforce Central Florida's website features videos of employers, job seekers in capes similar to those the agency plans to distribute to the unemployed.
Earl, one of the Einsteins running a federally funded labor development agency that last year received almost $24 million in public money, said "not everyone will agree on creative strategy."
Just guessing, but I think those who would agree the least are the jobless folks Earl wants to parade around town in one of his colorful capes.

Maybe they could spend some money on rubber boots for the rest of us to symbolize the crap we have to wade through that keeps spewing from their use of our tax money?

Haha, this is what happens when marketing lets an "ad agency" put a tired "creative" idea before strategy, with no real insight or consideration of their audience. Way to think it through guys. I guess it's hard to imagine being unemployed when your fat ad agency executive salaries allow you to sit back and stroke each other's ego, s*** on those around you, and come up with ideas like this. Look, its a bird, it's a plane…it's karma. http://www.evokad.com/work/wfc/

$73,000 could have provided some meals to hungry families. WHO came up with this. Too bad that the state cannot demand its money back. It has to have gone to some politicans family member and their "agency".

73,000 in federal taxpayer dollars totally wasted on some stupid capes and cardboard cutouts? For that cash, they could have had training programs in microsoft office, statistical programs, accounting, paralegal, etc. to help people get skills. Taxpayer money—99% is wasted or stolen.

It is typical government use of seized money, our taxes. Pay taxes or consequences. Then look at what they do with it. Send it to our enemies over seas. Pay for foolish programs. Pay for DA's prosecuting of unjust zero tolerance issues. Pay school superintendents $250,000. There is no end to the waste. If it has been budgeted for a department then spend it, even if not needed, or lose it. Pay for the police to hang out in massage parlors and get massages in effort to entrap some girl into a prostitution charge. We have become a nation of fools.

This stupid idea cannot be put on the backs of a political party. This is just part of wasteful spending and insensitivity. Imagine you are out of work and some idiot gives you a cape when you are worried about paying for food, lodging, feeding your children, etc… If this was the work of an ad agency, don't worry because with ideas like this they won't be in business for long. What government agency approved this? The staff should be fired, which would cut down on government. Hire one person with common sense and perhaps a few of the unemployed people that the fired idiots were going to give a cape to and that kills two birds with one stone.

Thank goodness I am no longer employed (laid off!!!) by Workforce Central Florida. All this is embarassing! As a taxpayer I am really ticked off about this abuse of our federal dollars. Workforce Central Florida is federally funded and does not receive money from the State of Florida.

Nov. 4, 2011 -- The FDA has approved Janssen's Xarelto to prevent stroke in patients with an abnormal heart rhythm called atrial fibrillation -- with a strong "black box" warning.
A black box warning is the FDA's strongest warning.
Xarelto had previously been approved to prevent blood clots in patients receiving hip and knee replacements.
Xarelto now joins Boehringer Ingelheim's Pradaxa as alternatives to warfarin (brand names include Coumadin and Jantoven) to prevent stroke-causing blood clots in patients with atrial fibrillation not caused by a heart valve problem. Atrial fibrillation often puts a person at increased risk of blood clots and stroke.
Like warfarin, Xarelto is a blood thinner -- an anti-clotting drug. These products can cause dangerous bleeding. But Xarelto can also increase the risk of stroke if people stop taking it without medical supervision. That's the main warning in the "black box" on the Xarelto label.
The FDA previously issued a discouraging briefing paper to an expert advisory panel. But the panel voted overwhelmingly for approval. The FDA now has followed this advice.

A 210 Year Old Sleeping Giant
Ryan is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
A SWOT analysis is a look at a company's strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats, and is a great way to gain a detailed and thorough perspective on a company and its future. As 2012 draws to a close, I would like to focus on a company founded in 1802, a 210 year old sleeping giant that can be purchased today at the same price as in 2000: E.I. du Pont de Nemours & Company (NYSE: DD).
- Solid Revenue Growth: In 2006, DuPont reported revenue of $27.5 billion; in 2011, the company announced revenue of $38.0 billion, representing year over year annual growth of 6.68%. This trend is widely anticipated to continue into the future, with projections placing 2015 revenue at $42.2 billion. This is thanks to a combination of an increase in market share in the performance and materials market, as well as the agriculture and nutrition-based products market
- Dividend: At the moment DuPont pays out quarterly dividends of $0.43, which puts the dividend as yielding 3.84% annually
- Reasonable Valuation: The company currently carries a price to earnings ratio of 15.01, a price to book ratio of 5.00, and a price to sales ratio of 1.09, all of which point to a company that has a fairly reasonable valuation
- Institutional Vote of Confidence: 65% of shares outstanding are held by institutional investors, displaying the confidence some of the largest investors in the world have in the company and its future
- Cash & Equivalents: Currently DuPont possesses about $3.1 billion of cash and cash equivalents on their balance sheets, a major upside to the business
- Established & Diversified Nature: DuPont is valued at $41.72 billion, employs 70,000 people, has been in business for 210 years, operates in nearly every major market in world, and has identified a distinct market for their products and services. With this established and diversified nature comes a certain level of security and predictability
- Single Digit Margin: DuPont currently possesses a net profit margin of 9.15%, which is below the ideal double digit mark and leaves little room for unexpected expenditures; these tight margins are a result of DuPont's struggle to remain competitive
- Debt: Currently, the company possesses about $10.5 billion of debt on their balance sheets, a major downfall to the business
- Operating Expenses: When a business expands, the costs related to operating that business will expand; however, over the past 10 years operating expenses have outgrown revenues, an ominous sign
- Acquisitions: In May 2012, DuPont acquired Solae LLC, and further acquisitions in the future could introduce new technology to the company and fuel growth
- Dividend Growth: Since implementing their dividend program in 1904, DuPont has consistently raised their dividend payouts, and this trend is widely anticipated to continue into the future
- Innovative Nature: DuPont's success is built on its innovative nature, with the company investing $2 billion annually on research and development, and innovations could introduce new technologies to the company and fuel growth
- Expanding Market: DuPont's main business segments, performance and safety materials and agriculture and nutrition, have both grown in the past few years, and according to analyst projections will continue to grow into the future
- Competition: The industries DuPont operates in are rather competitive, and any competition in these industries to offer the best products for the least amount of money can lead to margin compression
- Rising Input Prices: If any of the numerous materials DuPont utilizes in any of its operations were to rise in price, the company would be faced with the difficult choice of either passing the extra costs onto their customers or swallowing the pain in their margins
Major publicly traded competitors of DuPont include Dow Chemical (NYSE: DOW), Syngenta AG (NYSE: SYT), FMC Corporation (NYSE: FMC), and PPG Industries (NYSE: PPG). All of these companies offer products and services similar, if not identical to, those of DuPont. Dow Chemical is valued at $38.52 billion, pays out a dividend yielding 3.99%, and carries a price to earnings ratio of 24.78. Syngenta is valued at $37.00 billion, pays out a dividend yielding 2.13%, and carries a price to earnings ratio of 22.31. FMC is valued at $7.96 billion, pays out a dividend yielding 0.93%, and carries a price to earnings ratio of 19.20. PPG is valued at $20.45 billion, pays out a dividend yielding 1.77%, and carries a price to earnings ratio of 22.28.
The Foolish Bottom Line:
DuPont is a financially solid company with good revenue growth, an expanding dividend, and a future filled with potential growth. However, the company possesses a massive debt load, and its stock price has been flat for nearly a decade. All in all, DuPont is an established and diversified giant, but in the end possesses too much debt and too little growth.

SPOKANE, Wash. – A Post Falls man is fighting for his life after a moving truck ramp and a safe fell on him.
Dale Tucker's niece said he and other employees were loading a heavy safe into a moving van at work, when the ramp gave way. It smashed Tucker's head and crushed a coworker's arm.
Tucker was in critical condition and was flown to a Seattle hospital earlier this week.
The father was scheduled to have surgery Thursday to mend a spinal fluid leak and repair his shattered bones. His fiancé says he's making slow progress, but doctors don't know what to expect for the future. His niece said she's not sure his face will ever look the same.
"Dale's the only male figure I've had in my life," niece Brittany Rogers said. "It's really hard for me to see him hurt."
Since he's still in the probation period at his newer job, his fiancé says he's uninsured. Right now they don't know how much state Workers Compensation will cover. In the meantime, his parents and fiancé are supporting him from his hospital bed.
His fiancé and family established a website to help him with mounting medical bills. If you'd like to learn more go to: www.youcaring.com/fundraiser_details
