The Doors of Perception
[cross-posted at Austro-Athenian Empire]
Hmm, I see that former Congressman Bob Barr has been appointed to the Libertarian Partys National Committee.
Now Ill readily grant that Barr was one of the more libertarian-minded Republicans on the Hill; and maybe the LP should be congratulated for landing such a high-profile member.
Still, as I recall Barr was very strongly in favour of the war on drugs, and Ive seen no mention of his having changed his mind on that issue. Does his star power really outweigh the downside of having a drug warrior on the LNC?

Roderick T. Long - 12/18/2006
I agree -- I'm all for working with partly good non-libs in broad coalitions of various sorts, but not for putting them in charge of libertarian organizations! And the drug war isn't one of the areas that's controversial among libertarians.
Aeon J. Skoble - 12/18/2006
So, he's a libertarian some of the time and not others? Seriously, how is this a "minor disagreement"? If you think it's an appropriate use of the Coercive Power of the State to imprison someone for smoking pot, you obviously don't think much of personal autonomy. I'll go read the interview for myself, but this doesn't look good.
Roderick T. Long - 12/18/2006
Okay, the Barr interview (taped last week) is up on the Reason site now. Heres the relevant section:
reason: In 2002, the Libertarian Party called you the worst drug warrior in Congress. No hard feelings?
Barr: To be honest with you thats never come up in our discussions. Im not going to let minor disagreements come between us.
reason: But you havent changed your mind on the drug war, or on gay marriage?
Barr: There are going to be differences with my colleagues in the Libertarian Party. I cant imagine there is ever going to be a party I agree with 100 percent of time.
Roderick T. Long - 12/17/2006
One of my contacts in the Libertarian Party informs me confidentially that Barr definitely HAS abandoned his support for the drug war and will be issuing a statement to that effect very soon; at the same time, one of my contacts at Reason magazine informs me confidentially that Barr definitely HAS NOT abandoned his support for the drug war and that this will be clear in a new interview with Barr thats going up on the Reason website on Monday.
Well, this should be fun! Somebodys in for a surprise I just don't know who yet.

Marvel Assembles an Official Title for Third "Avengers" Movie
Comic Books, Film
Four years ago my birthday fell on a Monday and so I decided to make 12 Birthday Wishes…and now every year Sue asks me if I'm doing it again. Though my birthday is not until Saturday, I felt like doing it again this year –apparently I am only interested in doing every two years. Like I did last time I'm going to first recap what I asked for in 2012 and see how we did. Last time the rack up was a pathetic 2.25/12 points…I KNOW we did better this time!
Here goes.
1. Support for my book The Girl Who Would Be King
Could not have gotten more support, a rousing success all around, AND you guys helped fund a second book (Storykiller) after that! Full point! Also, thank you!
2. Triumphant return of Cass Cain.
Nope. No points
3. Black Widow Takeover Part 1: Black Widow ongoing comic.
YESSSSS. Full point!
4. Black Widow Takeover Part 2: I want that Black Widow standalone film.
Booooo. No points.
5. For Saga by Brian K. Vaughan and Fiona Staples to NEVER END. Okay, more seriously, for me to be reading that book for a long goddamn time.
Saga continues, and is as good as ever. I'm sure Vaughan has an end in mind, but we're a good ways away from that, so, FULL POINT.
6. To never again read an event like Avengers vs. X-Men.
This was a silly wish to make as it will just NEVER happen (much like Cass Cain?). No points.
7. More comics for kids.
I don't know that Marvel and DC have done a very good job of this…yes, we got Dustin Nguyen's excellent (now cancelled) Li'l Gotham for a while but we lost Tiny Titans (though I guess it's back? Is that "permanent".) With Marvel…I don't even know, it FEELS like I've seen less kid friendly stuff from them, but I can't be sure, and since their tone is not one line-wide dark tone and there are a lot of fun books it doesn't feel AS hopeless on the kid comics front. All that said, we're seeing a lot of nice YA/kid focused books from other publishers that gives me hope – Noelle Stevenson's Lumberjanes from Boom!, the excellent Adventure Time comics from Boom!, Emily & The Strangers from Darkhorse, Image has the dark but YA-ish Antony Johnston's Umbral, Action Lab continues Jeremy Whitley's Princeless and published Jamal Igle's Molly Danger. First Second is making a real name for themselves with YA comics – everything from the Tamakis' excellent This One Summer to Paul Pope's Battling Boy to Ben Hatke's YA-trilogy Zita The Spacegirl. It all looks quite promising when you look at the field beyond Marvel/DC. I'm gonna go with a full point, success and happiness over books like Lumberjanes has me really excited and optimistic.
8. More comics "for women"
I think this is a significant win, if only in looking at Marvel and Image. Image has the high profile and female led/focused Lazarus, Pretty Deadly, Velvet, Saga, Umbral, Wicked & The Divine, Sex Criminals, Rocket Girl, and Revival which are all relatively new (debuted within the last few years at most). Marvel of course has made a big push with the relaunched all female X-Men, a retooled Captain Marvel, an all new Ms. Marvel, a new Black Widow, a new Elektra and She-Hulk as well as a forthcoming Storm series. I suspect something interesting for Rogue on the horizon when she returns…time will tell. DC has actually fallen behind a bit with the recent cancellations of Birds of Prey and Trinity of Sin: Pandora and a shift from Worlds' Finest being two female leads to becoming two male leads. Even the addition of a Harley Quinn title to their line up earlier this year will leave them now BEHIND Marvel, which is unprecedented. Still, significant progress in the last two years most everywhere so I'm going to take the full point and be grateful for it. We'll see where we are in two more years!
9. Speaking of comics women might enjoy, I'd LOVE to have that all women X-title Marjorie Liu was talking about on 3 Chicks recently.
We got it. X-Men, all ladies, all the time. Full Point!
10. Wonder Woman…oh, nevermind.
Good thing I didn't even try. There would have been no points. In fact, given all the nightmares with Wonder Woman of the last two years and the setbacks with film and TV as well, I'm gonna go ahead and give this a negative point.
11. Digital Comics
I'm not sure how to rate this. I've transitioned almost entirely to digital in the last two years but I know a lot of people are wary about the Amazon Comixology purchase. I don't know enough yet to have an informed opinion, but so far the change has been non-existent on my end. So let's call it half a point.
12. The Girl Who Would Be King second support mention
Clearly mentioning it twice helped. But I don't feel good about giving myself a duplicate point, so we'll call it a half point.
6/12 – 50%!!!
WAY better than last time! Can we do even better next time? Doubtful but here goes!
The return of Rogue, preferably in her own series. Definitely not written by Rick Remender. I've enjoyed Remender's writing on other titles (I'm extremely fond of both his Uncanny X-Force run and his new Deadly Class series) but his character assassination of Rogue was nearly unforgivable and then ended in her "death." Hopefully Marvel will reward us with the triumphant return of Rogue and with creators that love her (fyi Marvel, I'm available
I hope both Kelly Sue DeConnick/David Lopez and G. Willow Wilson/Adrian Alphona's respective Lady Marvel titles keep going and going strong. They are the kind of books I wished for as a teen (without even knowing it) and they absolutely fill my soul and make my heart soar. I hope they can keep it up for a looooong time.
Like Wonder Woman (see below) Cass will always be on the list. So here she is, no matter how futile it is. I wrote in detail about it a few weeks ago, so I'll just link to that and post the badass Ross Campbell image of her. Someday, Cass, SOMEDAY!
Though we have seen incredible superhero movies of late, the exposure for women has been appalling. We've gotten some phenomenal performances and reasonably significant roles (Scarlett Johansson's Black Widow in The Avengers and Winter Soldier, Anne Hathaway's Catwoman in Dark Knight Rises, and Judge Anderson in Dredd) but given the number of opportunities we've had, the representation for ladies is pitiful. While Winter Soldier and Dredd got us closest to a co-starring lead role for Johansson and Thirlby respectively, we're still absolutely lacking when it comes to a female led film. In fact, the most recent superhero blockbuster, X-Men Days of Future Past was one of the worst yet in terms of representation for the ladies.
While Wonder Woman remains the most obvious (and annoying) missed opportunity when it comes to female superheroes on film given her high profile and massive IP, it's the missed opportunity of a Black Widow film that hurts the most. Johansson's forthcoming Lucy by Luc Besson proves she's more than ready (and interested) in anchoring an action film, specifically a "superpowered" one. There's no good reason I can think of that we don't have a Black Widow film on the schedule already. Marvel perfectly cast the role, set her up exceptionally for her own film by giving her increasingly large roles in other films (Iron Man 2, The Avengers, and Winter Soldier), and then…dropped the ball and didn't make it happen. A Captain Marvel film is also long overdue as an announcement…but some deeply optimistic (naïve?) part of me hopes that Guardians of the Galaxy in August will find us with an epic Captain Marvel teaser. Speaking of Guardians of the Galaxy, I could not be more excited…well, I could if I'd heard Gamora say more than one sentence (finally! In the extended look trailer). Still, the film looks great and that is indeed a big part of the battle.
If we're really going to get a Gambit film starring Channing Tatum, which seems like an actual possibility, then I'd love to see Fox correct their mistake in deleting Rogue from DoFP and giving her a co-starring role there. Introduce her as already having the powers comics fans have long been waiting (you'll have to use someone that's not Captain Marvel but that's not so tough, lots of expendable for film characters out there that have acceptable power sets) and let her finally own that raw power on screen and deal with the horrible ramifications of it as well. Paquin and Tatum could be absolutely hot together. Set it initially in New Orleans and then roll it into a Genosha team-up storyline which could touch on adventures they both had in Genosha (separately), throw in a Wolverine cameo (cause you know that's going to happen anyway). By using Genosha you capitalize on larger ideas so that it can both stand on its own and also roll into other potential films nicely. Basically, call my manager, you guys who run things at Fox, I'm full of ideas about this!
So, this one got unwieldy, let's break this down into official requests. #1. A standalone Black Widow film announced (and eventually made). #2. A Captain Marvel film announced (and eventually made). #3. A Gambit movie with a significant co-starring role for Rogue announced (and eventually made!) #4. A Wonder Woman…ah, hell, nevermind.
I don't talk a lot about this issue in part because it's a bit of a conflict of interest for me since I want to work in comics and actively pursue it, but the representation of female creators is still pretty alarming at Marvel and DC. We've seen a decent push on the female characters side of things – both in their leading lady status and in the way they're portrayed – but we're still failing pretty hard in this industry on diversity when it comes to female creators. This is of course not to dismiss all of the many fantastic women working in comics in both more high profile roles and the less celebrated, but we can still do much better. I'm of course a believer in the best person for the job, not in hiring someone just to fill a status quo, but I simply don't believe that the best people have all the jobs right now. More diversity in creators is a big change I'd like to see. We are getting there slowly (I think?) but I'd love to see a real push in the next year or two.
This is going to be a tough one to judge in two years…but I'd love to see more commitment to creators teams staying in tact and for longer runs. I know it's particularly hard when it comes to artists which is so time consuming, but I think we've seen some great solutions with books like Saga (taking a planned break every six issues) or with Hawkeye (piloting in guest artist Annie Wu for Kate Bishop arcs, giving David Aja time to catch up/get ahead on Clint Barton arcs). I was watching an episode of The Writers' Room that talked about how the incredible and critically acclaimed show House of Cards gets NO notes from Netflix…which is HUGE. Usually "notes from the network" is a big "thing" that shows have to deal with and while Networks certainly aren't always wrong, there's something so utterly fantastic about a "network" (read: comic book company/editors/etc.) having faith that they've put the right creators on a project and letting them go and do what they do best.
A Kate Bishop series. Kate Bishop is maybe the only character in the world that could completely turn me around on the color purple. But weird purple-thing aside I'm still hard pressed to think of a character more deserving, more interesting, and more ideal for potential multi-media domination. And while we're talking about multi-media, what I wouldn't give for a Young Avengers cartoon with Kate Beaton as a core cast member…how incredible would that be?
In fact, let's just make this its own category. When you see the success of a cartoon like Adventure Time it kind of makes you wonder why there aren't more cartoons that just dominate in that way. And there are so many properties at Marvel and DC that would be incredible as animated properties – Dustin Nguyen's Li'l Gotham is the first DC property that springs to my mind as it's charming, funny, and highly adorable. Tiny Titans seems like s slam dunk as well. For Marvel I'd love to see Young Avengers (as mentioned above) bonus points of course for Loki already being hugely popular in the films and it would be great to have a cartoon with teenage superheroes that has some racial diversity, a few female characters, AND LGBT characters right out of the gate. Lumberjanes, though still in its infancy, seems like an absolute natural for an animated show. All that said, I would give up a whole lot of things I love to get my hands on a regular Lauren Faust's Super Best Friends Forever series and a Robert Valley Wonder Woman series. Seriously, I would do A LOT of unsavory things to get my hands on those cartoons.
I created a Big Barda book a couple weeks ago with Noelle Stevenson writing and Chris Samnee drawing, and while I stand by Samnee being an excellent artist for the series, Kris Anka jumped in on twitter and said he was working on a Barda redesign already. Since he and Stevenson are tight, that kind of seems like a match made. It's hard to turn down something that awesome…it's practically done already!
Listen, she's always going to be on the list. Even if things were going well for her in comics (and the latest news/rumors mean it would be hard for things to be worse) she still needs and deserves more exposure when it comes to film/TV and ideally a kid friendly comic book too. So I'll just leave a "hey, wouldn't it be great if something GOOD could happen to Wonder Woman?" here. Despite my issues with the current series, Cliff Chiang was the best possible artist Diana could have hoped for, I guess now she's going to pay for that with a Finch run. Karma is a bitch.
Superheroes (and related stories) won't be hot/in fashion forever, but while they are I hope we can manage to get some great quality projects that feature women. No reason Agent Carter should be anything except the beginning of something great for female heroes on TV in a superhero universe. We live in an age of Katniss Everdeen dominating movie screens everywhere and where our television history is full of incredible heroines of all kinds from Buffy The Vampire Slayer and Veronica Mars to Xena and La Femme Nikita…and there's simply no reason that we can't usher in a new generation of fantastic complicated female superheroines…Agent Carter and Jessica Jones are only the tip of the awesome iceberg.
I've got a lot of potentially very cool writing things going on inside and outside comics but they are all in different stages and at different stages of will they/won't they actually happen. Some of them are already in progress – from my forthcoming book from Dark Horse with Meredith McClaren (2015?) to a new project that I've just begun working on with another incredible artist I know, but I'd really like to jam my foot fully in the comics door this year, whether that be doing some contract/work for hire, or getting something else going with a bigger publisher. I've made a lot of progress in the last couple years, but it's been a long road and I'm just ready for it to REALLY start!
Okay, that's it! Thanks to all of you for another great year of She Has No Head! – I hope you've enjoyed reading it as much as I've enjoyed writing it (most of the time) and here's to lots more and so many great things in comics to look forward to (and fervently hope for!)
You hate purple?!?!?!?
-I regards to last year's wish #7 (more comics for kids) I think a major issue is that it's hard to translate the success of YA books into comic form because you can't get away with the same sort of things in a visual format that you can get away with in prose.
Take the classic bestselling YA novel series "Animorphs." Those books are a blood-soaked gore fest where teenagers who turn into wild animals fight alien monsters. If "Future's End" or any other current DC or Marvel ongoing had the same amount of dismemberments in it that a typical "Animorphs" book did it would be rated MA. But since "Animorphs" was prose the author could totally get away with it. And readers loved it.
I think the problem is that parents can flip through comics and immediately see the violence, whereas for prose they need to actually read the book. As a consequence any comics produced specifically for YA and kid audiences are watered-down and toned-down versions of the glorious violence they can get in prose form. Anyone remember the awful Animorphs TV series? It was terrible partly because you can't get away with showing grizzly bears disemboweling aliens on Nickelodeon.
If by "comics for kids" you mean "comics with content that kids would enjoy reading," we are inundated with them. I think most kids would enjoy pretty much any of the comics Marvel and DC are currently putting out. I know that when I was 7 I would have read the heck out of Snyder's Batman or Azzarello's Wonder Woman. If my parents had let me. The problem is, and always has been the parents.
-In regards to #6 of your current list, I sincerely agree. My favorite monthly comics have been the ones with consistent creative teams. The train wrecks (Stormwatch, for instance) have been ones that changed teams back and forth.
Happy Birthday for Saturday Kelly, and best of luck with some of the wishes
Hi Kelly, I couldn't agree more on point 6- creator consistency! I apprecIte that the big two feel the need to keep up a monthly churn to ensure their bottom line is always looking good, but I fully believe that a huge reason for the rise in popularity of creator-owned is down to a consistency of quality.
While tastes differ, if you enjoy a book it's important that your joy isn't left up to chance when creators (mainly artists) are shunted out. (That's not even touching on the era of writer-driven books = bad)
Adopting the "season" approach is a great step in the write direction I think. As long as a creative team can stay onboard to tell their story I'm pretty happy.
Also , you're spot on about Kate Bishop. One of the best comics creations of the 21st century.
I so badly wanted to love Pandora. The whole immortal story been done so many times with men but rarely with a woman and DC completely screwed this up. With all the hype of Pandora with the New 52, I swear DC simply did not know what they actually had planned on doing. She was so powerful at the end of Flashpoint and then her powers trimmed down but still very awesome and not yet a member of the WIR club. But then she got symbolically shoved in the fridge with Trinity War because DC didn't have a clue what they were doing with the character.
Stephanie Brown is back and looking good so far, I hope Cass can make a similar return to make all the fans happy.
Kamala Khan based Ms. Marvel movie would be on my list. Just because they could start from scratch and not really have to worry much about the Ms. Marvel history unless they got clever by using it to intro Captain Marvel.
Comics for kids need to also not be $4 as when I worked in retail, parents wanted comics for stocking stuffers (I had to bite my tongue about rolling comics into a sock ) but at four dollars, most parents (and grandparents) just put the comics down and went and bought various other things at the same price.
I tried to point them to the two and one dollar comics but by then, they knew those were old comics and not the current ones.
Happy Birthday, come Saturday!
happy birthday for saturday
If it wasn't for purple, how would Bruce Banner ever find his pants? Never thought of that, did you, Ms. Smarty-boots?
It is a shame that You didn't stick withThe current run Wonder Woman. Diana has become Queen of the Amazons. (Yes they they are back), she's introduced a more compassionate rule and a far more openness to men in general. it he series also showed her ability to lead and inspire those around her to change.
I know that the Amazon backstory upset you-but that was based on some version of ancient mythology
Batman series have introduced or re-introduce many strong female characters.
@Nick: This is long documented! Where you been?
@Mike: The Amazons aren't back. I don't recognize those Amazons as any version of DC Amazons. The only way the Amazons could actually be back was if Azzarello retconned his own story that turned them into absolute monsters. As for the common refrain that the Amazon backstory is based on "some version of ancient mythology" I already addressed that in detail in the original column and I'm not going to rehash it here.
@Ghatanathoah: Yeah, I guess we disagree on what superhero content is appropriate for 7 year olds. I don't have kids and am not particularly sensitive to this kind of stuff, but I don't see how most of the superhero comics are appropriate for kids under 10, nor do I see how they would be too excited by it. Pre-teens and teens? Sure, under 10? I don't see it.
I'm not entirely despairing for Wonder Woman: I'm super excited for Sensation Comics. The only DC Comics I've bought in the last few years have been Legends of the Dark Knight and Adventures of Superman, so I'm optimistic that a Wonder Woman anthology will be of the same caliber.
I don't know if you are reading Uncanny Avengers, but in the latest issue they made it seem like they are bringing Rogue back. I would love a Rogue series as well, possibly written by Mike Carey since X-Men Legacy was basically a Rogue book. I very much support the return of Cass, she brought me back into DC when I was in high school. Have an awesome birthday Saturday.
@Kelly: Maybe I blocked it out because it was so upsetting to me.
But as much as I love purple, I gotta admit that there aren't many good purple superhero costumes. They're generally pretty sucky. I like it when Black Panther gets colored with purple highlights. The Maxx is pretty cool. And I guess Batgirl's old purple outfit is kinda snazzy.
Happy birthday, Kelly! It's been a strong column all these years and I bet the best is yet to come!
By the way, I'd totally be down for a ROGUE ongoing series written by you.
Happy early Birthday, Ms. Thompson! Here's to hoping all your comic book wishes and corresponding movie dreams come true . . . even if the Wonder Woman ones ain't a' gonna happen (Yikes, to the David Finching).
For your present: I'll refrain from posting a Great Wall of Text about the casting of Roll Fizzlebeef as Gambit. You're welcome. =P
I don't like purple, but purple highlights on black look cool. I used to dig Huntress's late-'90s costume, and the Transformer Skywarp was the most badass looking of the jets. I could see a version of Batgirl, Batwoman, Huntress, or Black Bat wearing an outfit with that color scheme.
Oddly enough, my favorite example of No. 6 in regards to no notes and creator consistency is Wonder Woman. Love the fact that they're crafting their own story with no regards to the rest of DC continuity. Such as ignoring Supes/WW and crafting a tale that I can buy as a collected run and pass on to others with no need to explain the continuity of the wider DCnU.
It also lends itself easily enough to being completely wiped from continuity, which is wonderful, as I doubt I'll continue with the series when Finch takes over, and no worries about him mangling the wonderful work done by the current creators.

The minor leagues serve many purposes but as a fan of the Mets, my interest in the minors is strictly in developing players for the major league club, whether for the 25-man roster or for use in trades. There's no right way to develop prospects and what might be proper for Player A could be disastrous for Player B. Understanding that, it seems that each organization should have a basic guideline on how to handle prospects. Here's what mine would be for the Mets. Rookie Leagues The Mets have three short-season league teams with clubs in the Gulf Coast League, the Appalachian League and the New York-Penn League. The Mets have a definite hierarchy, with Brooklyn being their top club and the Gulf Coast Mets being their bottom club. To me, these clubs are treated too much like separate levels, especially when it comes to guys with a major league future. If any team should be considered different among these three, it should be the GCL entry. The Mets should use their GCL franchise...

COLUMBUS, Ohio Ś There was a time when Ohio State could use the week of the Wisconsin game to prepare for other, bigger showdowns.
From 1948 to 1980, the Buckeyes were 32-1 against the Badgers. Most games were over before fans found their seats.
ōI was here a long time ago, and it was not a rivalry,ö said Ohio State coach Urban Meyer, a graduate assistant with the Buckeyes in the 1980s. ōBut you have to give credit to Wisconsin. I think it all started with Coach (Barry) Alvarez, and then the following coaches have done a great job. So itÆs one of, if not the best program in the Big Ten right now.ö
Dave McClain, Alvarez and Bret Bielema brought respect and stability to Wisconsin Ś and gave a shot of balance to the Wisconsin-Ohio State series.
From 1981-87, the Badgers won six times in seven meetings Ś after winning just seven times in the previous 68 years.
Each side has been trading welts and bruises in equal measure in what has become one of the most anticipated games on their schedules.
Once again, a lot is riding on Saturday nightÆs meeting between the fourth-ranked Buckeyes and No. 23 Badgers. Chief among them is superiority in the Big TenÆs Leaders Division.
Here are five things to watch:
NOT BOWING TO THE KING: Wisconsin has won the last three Big Ten championship games. No wonder Meyer called it the ōkingö of the conference.
That rankles his own players, who went 12-0 last year including a dramatic overtime win over the Badgers, but were prevented from playing in the title game because of NCAA sanctions.
ōWhen somebody takes whatÆs yours, youÆre obviously not going to be happy about it,ö cornerback Bradley Roby said of Wisconsin winning the championship in 2012. ōThe next time you see them itÆs going to be a fight. ThatÆs basically what it is, man. This game is going to be a fight.ö
ROCK VS. HARD PLACE: Wisconsin is third in the nation in rushing at 350 yards a game, Ohio State is sixth at 311. If either dominates like it has, itÆs going to be a long night for the other defense.
Both sides are steeling for a cage match in the trenches.
ōAgainst teams like this you arenÆt going to always run pretty,ö Wisconsin offensive lineman Ryan Groy said. ōWhen our backs are running physical and running hard, they are going to break some tackles. ThatÆs when most of it counts, after first contact. Teams like this that have great defenses and tackle well, you break a couple tackles and something good is going to happen.ö
AIR RAID: If the ground battle is fought on relatively even terms, the ability to pass will be paramount.
Wisconsin has thrown 99 passes all season; Ohio State threw 34 times in the first half of its last game. The Badgers have totaled six TD passes; the BuckeyesÆ backup quarterback Kenny Guiton, had that many in the first two quarters last week.
Balancing that is the fact that Wisconsin hasnÆt given up a scoring pass yet this year. The Buckeyes vow that stat wonÆt be the same on Sunday.
ōI know theyÆre a good defense. And I know theyÆre real disciplined with their assignments and what they have to do,ö Ohio State wide receiver Evan Spencer said. ōBut weÆre really an explosive offense. So I can tell you right now that little record thing, that probably wonÆt stand too long.ö
NIGHT MOVES: The game will be on national TV during prime time. Both teams are used to playing after dark.
ōI love night games,ö Roby said. ōEverybodyÆs watching the best games. The place is electrified. EverybodyÆs there, people have all day to get drunk and stuff like that, so itÆs going to be crazy.ö
THE COACHES: Gary Andersen, in his first year with the Badgers, was an assistant under Meyer for a year at Utah. They remain best friends.
But Andersen pooh-poohs the importance of that.
ōMy take is that it doesnÆt have anything to do with it,ö he said. ōObviously, UrbanÆs a good friend. I consider him a good friend. Who knows, maybe he doesnÆt consider me a good friend.ö
Then he laughed.

Product Description
The Galatians had enjoyed the incredible freedom that Jesus gives us. However, "religious" people had joined the Galatian fellowship, claiming to have deeper knowledge from the ancient Scriptures, claiming to have a bigger picture than the simple good news that they had heard. These new teachings were robbing the Galatians of their freedom and their confidence. They were falling into a kind of religious slavery, making them think more and more about their own religious efforts and leaving little room for Jesus. Paul was desperate to rescue the Galatians from this dreadful cult.
Galatians shows us that the answer is to be found in Jesus, the Messiah promised and hoped for since the beginning of the world. There is freedom in Him. All fleshly categories that constrain people are blown apart by His life, death and resurrection. When we come to Jesus we find the answer to all things. He is the hope and desire of the ages and nations.
- Paul, an Apostle of God's Grace (Galatians 1:1-24)
- Paul, an Apostle to the Jews (Galatians 2:1-21)
- Abraham, the Man of Faith (Galatians 3:1-25)
- Sarah, Mother of the Free (Galatians 3:26-4:31)
- The Spirit, the Lord of the Free (Galatians 5:1-25)
- The Family of Believers (Galatians 5:26-6:18)
Six 15-minute segments. Includes optional English subtitles.

Basically a piece of shit who tries to pretend that everyone else is arrogant so they feel better about themselves. You can find working them at your local fast food restaurant, or sleeping in trashbags around back of it. They like to sleep outside the buildings that the valuable people to society work in. The worst stoners are the rich, privelidged kids who just smoke becuase they like the think they are "rebels" and "badass". They usually try to be new-age hippies who hate everything becuase they think that makes them look cool, and are not the "happy, peaceful" people they say they are. They're actually dirty, smelly, 99% of the time ugly, and take up hard earned money to pay for their welfare. They ruin the lives of the children they fail to parent, and in fact most stoners are the results of bad parenting. If you want the real definition of a stoner, see salt brah
Most of the stoners reading this will probably get angry, so they'll go smoke some more to deal with their problems. Then they'll come back and say that other people suck who are more successful than them and didn't smoke their lives away.

Slang for somebody who smokes cannabis, often. Most people would talk them down as if they are better, though they often consume poisons such as alcohol and caffeine. Stoners are generally a friendly minority, peaceful, and harmless. The arrogant people bitching about them smoking marijuana, they are usually bigger problems then the people they denounce.
Darn, those stoners are lucky they got high before seeing Lord Of The Rings.
by A.E. December 29, 2003
Someone who smokes a lot of weed. You can't really classify a stoner by how much weed they smoke, but rather their mindset about smoking. A stoner would much rather spend a Friday night getting high rather than goin out. They also smoke weed every availible opportunity.
I am a stoner.

Someone who enjoys somking ganja on a regular basis. Stoners aren't scummy people. Anyone who looks down on stoner needs to go to hell. They're peaceful and have more of an appreciation for music and relaxing than most of the population. They also tend to be broke...a lot...
He's a Stona' ked, Yeah Ked...

a verry peaceful person who smokes weed often. and is often talked down on by retarded ass people who drink,smoke fags,pop diet pills and cheat their lives away by thinking that their athletic skills and good looks are actually going to mean a goddamn after they find out that life actually gets hard and that their parents money wont buy them happiness
wow....that stoner actually has a good job,makes more money than i do and doesnt really have to work hard...other than me who thought that my football skills would get me a job and im stuck working the drive through at taco bell at 28

A stoner is someone who likes the smoke from the sacred herb.
Stoners of the world unite.
by DeRez September 09, 2004
a person who enjoys the high that marijuana, canabis, or hash. Stoners are normally happyer, less violent people who have a better appreciation for life. Some people seem to blame them for the down fall of society, ironically those are the people causeing the down fall because of beliefs that money is more important then joy or life.
marijuana causes a happy fealing meaning stoners are happy and not violent people. Some one need to get george bush stoned.

By Glen Paddie, Fort Campbell Courier staffOctober 21, 2011
FORT CAMPBELL, Ky., Oct. 21, 2011 -- When one thinks of Brazil, what may come to mind are Carnival celebrations, the beaches of Ipanema, samba dancing in the streets and arguably the world's best soccer.
However, the South American nation also has to have a serious side in an unpredictable world.
Consequently, Brazil's military leadership is looking for ways to better its military preparedness and leaders of their 12th Air Assault Brigade's visit to the 101st Airborne Division this week was a major part of that plan.
"The purpose of Major General Araújo Lima and Major Mauro's visit is to establish a center of excellence of instruction in air assault operations in Brazil," said Capt. Michael Hill, an escort for the VIPs. "Right now, the Brazilian Army has just one air assault brigade, but no center of excellence."
Hill said at this point, air mobile operations in Brazil are lacking support from some higher ranking military officials, however.
"The higher ranking officials have been resistant to expanding air mobile operations," said Hill. "But, this visit is to try and help them understand that they need it and that there is going to be a greater requirement of air mobile operations in the future."
Hill added that one of the drawbacks for the Brazilian Army at the present moment, even if hesitation from overall leadership didn't exist, is the lack of overall aviation assets within their military, which is needed to support more air assault training.
"In order to make that happen, they need to garner support from generals and their nation's leaders, who will have to establish a center of excellence, and in order to do that, their Soldiers would need to be trained here at the air assault and pathfinder schools," said Hill. "Today's visit is their first step in establishing that center of excellence in air assault and air mobile operations."
According to Hill, Araújo Lima and Mauro's were treated to a rappelling and fast rope demonstration Thursday morning before witnessing students at Sabalauski Air Assault School learn how to conduct sling load operations.
"They arrived October 10th in the afternoon and spent October 11th with division plans and intelligence -- where we discussed air assault operations, the techniques and procedures we use, as well as lessons learned in Afghanistan and Iraq," said Col. William Hickman, deputy commander of operations for the 101st Airborne Division. "October 12th they spent time with the Rakkasans discussing company-level operations and the lessons learned downrange. Later today they're going to the aviation brigade to discuss the same issues and then they'll sit down with 2nd Brigade and talk about lessons learned in small-unit operations."
Hickman summed up the visit as "a complete look at how we conduct our air assault operations and train the individual Soldier."
The Brazilian officers, as rain drops began to fall, paid close attention to the Sabalauski instructors and students in action on Thursday.
"In this specific case, as the commander of an air assault unit, I am here to visit another sister air assault unit in the world," said Araújo Lima, interpreted by escort Maj. Robert Wittinham, foreign area officer stationed at the U.S. Embassy in Brasilia, Brazil. "The experience is learning from the 101st Airborne Division what they've learned in Iraq and Afghanistan is a great value to us."
Araújo Lima said his visit is a way for the Brazilians to learn from U.S. so that in the future the two nations can work closer together using similar tactics and techniques.
"While our Army has never had the opportunity to actually conduct a real air assault mission in combat or in crisis, this experience is invaluable," added Araújo Lima. "Currently, we are very proud of the work we're doing in Haiti, however, where we have 2,500 troops on the ground, of which 800 are from my brigade."
Araújo Lima acknowledged that there is currently no threat or missions upcoming for his unit, but also said they must be prepared in a moment's notice.
"It is why we are here today in the spirit of cooperation between our two nations, especially in air assault operations," added Araújo Lima. "We have to be ready to defend our nation, either from within or outside of our borders, so we have to continue to train."
Araújo Lima may have work to do in convincing his leaders to move forward in air mobile operations when he returns to his unit in Caçapava, São Paulo, Brazil, but will leave Fort Campbell fully prepared for that mission.

Using the PageLines free theme downloaded from WordPress.org.
by default the style is set up for
list-style:none; for display of widgets in the sidebar. I want to have bullets in an unordered list in a text widget, and have tried everything but nothing is working.
first tried adding a class to the unordered list in the text widget, then added that class in the CSS, like this:

ul.blah li {
i also tried adding the !important so it would override any other css
did not work. so I tried placing it in-line directly

blah blah

didnt work
then I Control+F and found every instance of "list-style-type:none;" that existed in the stylesheet and changed it from 'none' to 'circle' and STILL nothing.
here is a link. any help appreciated. thank you

For same reason when installing the plugin the table userfiles is not being created in the database.
Could you please advise?
Just let you know that even without it the files are uploaded with no issues.
As well I saw that, when user another user than Admin, the button to upload-files vanishes.
If it could test it properly, I am pretty sure I will go for the upgrade.
Thank you so much

We've got a Silent Login service written in Coldfusion9 that accepts encrypted strings from external systems and then decrypts based on an agreed Algorithm/Encoding setup. This has worked without issue for years now from systems running ASP/JAVA/PHP, but we now have a client who has no choice but to use CryptoJS to perform the encryption and for the life of me I cannot work out why this won't decrypt in Coldfusion.
My knowledge of encryption isn't brilliant but the thing I am noticing is the CryptoJS encrypted ciphertext for the exact same string/key differs every time i perform the encryption whereas in Coldfusion/Java i can always expect the exact same encrypted string. I'm not sure if this is encoding related or not but i've never run into this issue accepting encrypted strings from any other system before, so I am hoping it's the way I am encrypting in CryptoJS that is incorrect.

AES E-Library
Loudspeaker with Honeycomb Disk Diaphragm
New loudspeakers have been developed, using honeycomb disk diaphragms, which exhibit low distortion, wide frequency range, and uniform frequency response. These characteristics are realized by using a very rigid diaphragm. The rigidity is brought about by varying the cell size of the honeycomb core in the direction of the radius and by driving the diaphragm at its first nodal circle. The result is a very desirable density gradient and equivalent Young's modulus.

Terrific work! it sure reminds me of the beachline from the level "The Silent Cartographer" in Halo: Combat Evolved's Campaign.
it's amazing!
It look's like a mix between Virmire and The Silent Cartographer (I've just played Halo CE Anniversary).
It is a little like Virmire, isn't it?

Overview of the Buzzaround Lite
The Golden Technologies Buzzaround Lite has been redesigned with easier-to-use controls including a larger speed knob and backlit battery indicator. The plush seat is larger and taller than most to accommodate users of all sizes.
The Buzzaround Lite comes equipped with a delta tiller for ease of steering and three sets of easily interchangeable colored shrouds to customize the body. Golden Technologies also features an advanced wireless connector system for easy frame disassembly/assembly and a 1-Year In-Home Service warranty offers users reliability and peace of mind. If you experience a problem with your scooter during the first twelve months, simply call SpinLife to arrange for a technician to come to your home for diagnosis and repair. You may also choose to extend this service for up to three years for an additional charge.
What Makes This Different
The Buzzaround Lite from Golden Technologies offers a standard 17"x17" seat with the highest height adjustment of any model in its class. A high-torque motor and delta tiller provide the power and control you require. The Buzzaround Lite features a convenient and comfortable design that breaks down into 3 easy-to-stow pieces.
Why We Like It
We love Golden Technologies' Buzzaround Lite for the style and quality it offers to taller users. The well-padded seat has flip-up armrests making it easier for riders of any height to get on and off. We think the standard delta tiller is a great steering alternative for users with low dexterity and this scooter offers both comfort and maneuverability that will allow riders to spend extra time cruising through the park or scoping out bargains at the mall.

Breast Cancer Clue
Inherited mutations in the BRCA1 or BRCA2 tumor suppressor genes are by far the most frequent contributors to hereditary cancer risk in the human population, often causing breast or ovarian cancer in young women of child-bearing age. Attempts to test the role that the BRCA genes play in regulating a repair process associated with genome duplication have proven frustratingly difficult in living mammalian cells.
Now Harvard Medical School investigators at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center report a new mechanism by which BRCA gene loss may accelerate cancer-promoting chromosome rearrangements. The new findings explain how the loss of BRCA1 or BRCA2 function impairs homologous recombination, a normally accurate repair process used to fix DNA breaks, and actually stimulates faulty, error-prone homologous recombination repair.
Described online in the April 28 issue of Nature, the discovery could ultimately provide clinicians with valuable new information to help them ascertain risk and guide patient treatment when faced with BRCA mutations of uncertain significance. The finding also offers a potentially valuable new tool for the development of cancer therapeutics.
"Mutations in the BRCA genes cause breast and ovarian cancers that affect thousands of women throughout the U.S. and around the world, often striking them in the prime of life," said senior author Ralph Scully, HMS associate professor of Medicine at Beth Israel Deaconess in the hospital's Breast Cancer Oncology program. "For almost two decades, scientists have been striving to better understand the tumor suppressor functions of BRCA1 and BRCA2."
Potentially harmful breaks in DNA strands commonly occur during DNA replication, a prerequisite for cell division. These breaks occur when the replication fork that duplicates the genome stalls at sites of DNA damage. If not properly repaired, the breaks can promote genomic instability, leading to cancer and other diseases.
"Some years ago, we and others suggested that BRCA1 and BRCA2 regulate homologous recombination at sites of stalled replication," explains Scully. "We believe that this function is critical to how these genes suppress breast and ovarian cancer. Until now, we haven't had the tools necessary to study in molecular detail the homologous recombination processes at sites of replication fork stalling in the chromosomes of a living mammalian cell."
To solve this problem, first author Nicholas Willis, HMS research fellow in medicine in the Scully laboratory, created a new tool by harnessing a protein-DNA complex that evolved in bacteria.
"We found that the Escherichia coli Tus/Ter complex can be engineered to induce site-specific replication fork stalling and chromosomal homologous recombination in mouse cells," explained Willis. "In its essence, E. coli bacteria—a standard model organism in science—has evolved a very simple system to arrest replication forks in a site-specific manner."
This system is composed of short DNA elements called Ter sites, which are 21 to 23 base pairs long and tightly bound by the protein Tus. "Tus binds these Ter elements with extremely high affinity and, upon replication fork approach, acts as a barrier to fork progression along the DNA. Tus/Ter effectively sets up a 'roadblock' and stalls the replication fork."
The acid test for the new tool, said the authors, came when this same short Ter sequence was placed into a reporter, a slightly larger DNA sequence that can undergo certain rearrangements within a chromosome when triggered to do so. "When it engaged in homologous recombination, a change in the sequence caused the cells to express green fluorescent protein," said Willis. "When the cells glowed green, we knew we had a positive event."
The team adapted the reporter sequence to distinguish between error-free/high-fidelity homologous recombination and an error-prone/aberrant form of homologous recombination. "Remarkably, when we studied cells lacking BRCA1 or BRCA2, we found that the frequency of aberrant homologous recombination events triggered at Tus/Ter-stalled replication forks had actually increased compared to normal cells. We knew at this point that we had discovered a new and important process by which BRCA gene loss promotes cancer."
The discovery provides a promising bridge between basic science and the clinic, said Scully. "Sometimes a genetic sequencing test reveals a mutation in BRCA1 or BRCA2 that has not been definitively associated with cancer," he said. Often described as "variants of uncertain significance," these mutations are not found in high enough frequency in healthy women or in women with breast or ovarian cancers to allow the specific BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutations to be reliably classified as high risk or low risk. This is an important issue because a woman with a known high-risk BRCA gene mutation may elect to undergo potentially lifesaving prophylactic mastectomy or oophorectomy, Scully said.
"There is a growing appreciation that careful measurement of the homologous recombination functions of BRCA1 and BRCA2 variants-of-uncertain-significance mutants might help to classify them into high-risk or low-risk groups," he said. "It would be gratifying if our system could contribute new information to help ongoing efforts to classify these mutants."
Furthermore, understanding the mechanisms that regulate homologous recombination at stalled replication forks might hold additional promise for the development of novel cancer therapeutics. "If we could use this tool to help develop new cancer therapies, it would be a grand slam," said Scully. "This new system might also be useful in genome editing, which is considered a groundbreaking technology used for the development of new gene therapies."
This study was funded, in part, by National Institutes of Health grants R01CA095175, R01GM073894, R21CA144017, and R37GM26938; by National Institutes of Health /National Cancer Institute postdoctoral fellowship 5T32CA081156; and by ACS postdoctoral fellowship PF-12-248-01-DMC.

Just One Thing: A Chinoise
It isn't out of the ordinary for chef Patrick O'Connell, proprietor of the Inn at Little Washington in Washington, Va., to meet home cooks who have amassed a restaurant-worthy collection of kitchen gear, including high-end chefs knives and water ovens for sous-vide cooking. But the tool he turns to most often is one that he says often flies under their radar: a fine mesh conical strainer called a chinoise.
"You never consider when you work in a professional kitchen that a home cook might not have such a tool," he says. "We use it constantly."
Mr. O'Connell, who didn't attend culinary school, first encountered the chinoise during his time training at L'Auberge Chez Francois in Great Falls, Va. "It was standard procedure to reach above your head to the pot rack, grab a strainer and drop whatever you were working on through it," he says.
Mr. O'Connell prefers professional models like those sold at Bridge Kitchenware, a store where Julia Child shopped that is now located in Madison, N.J. There, a Paderno 9.5" reinforced bouillon strainer costs about $90.
A fine, strong mesh makes restaurant-grade models tougher than budget varieties available at home-goods chain stores, he says. "You don't want to poke holes in it" accidentally while pressing lumpy sauces through, he says.
Bridge Kitchenware's owner Steven Bridge says that's unlikely to happen with the Italian-made Paderno strainer, which is reinforced with crisscrossed stainless-steel supports. The finer mesh and cone shape moves liquids through faster while screening out even tiny lumps, Mr. Bridge says.
A chinoise works for sweet and savory dishes alike, from soups to stocks, from custard sauce to fruit purée for sorbet. "There's nothing that won't benefit from being passed through," Mr. O'Connell says.
In each case, the strained liquid gains a smoother, lighter texture, and often, a glossy sheen, he says. A seasonal vegetable soup might go through many times, once after puréeing and again after each addition of cream or spices. "If the home cook makes an asparagus soup, the flavors can be every bit as good as ours, but without this they'll never get the texture," he says.
