Confirmed: Geoff Johns Is the New President of DC Entertainment
Comic Books, Film, TV
At last weekend's Comic-Con International in San Diego, Square Enix unveiled a new assortment of DC Comics Play Arts Kai Variant Batman figures. Called the "Rogue Series," the new collection of figures mixes Batman with some of his most notorious villains. Square Enix released official images of the first figure from the line, the disturbingly unsettling "Two-Face Batman" figure.
It's safe to say Rocket Raccoon and Groot have made their way into the mainstream consciousness. Considering their obscure comic book origins and minimal status in comics until the 2014 film, it's happened pretty quickly. Now, NASA's getting in on the love.
NASA is honoring the characters' greatness with a special Rocket Raccoon and Groot-inspired patch, being given to employees who worked on the International Space Stations' National Laboratory in 2016. Take a look at the patch below:
You could say that Los Angeles artist Alex Gross has a superpower all his own. He possesses the ability to transform stodgy, old black-and-white photos into colorful pop0culture icons. The likes of the "Star Trek's" Christopher Pikem DC Comics' Bizarro and even Flynn from 1982's "Tron" have all graced Gross' repurposed photographs.
His love of days gone by inspired him to create the pop-culture masterpieces. "I absolutely love old photos and vintage pictures," he told Vivianite. "The Victorian Era is the time when I would have liked to live." An avid collector of "cabinet cards" — a thin paper photograph mounted on a 4.5-inch by 6.5-inch piece of cardboard popular in the 1870s — Gross takes the single-shot portraits and transforms them in to pop culture icons.
We've all been there: We're supposed to be paying attention in class or at a meeting, but we can't resist checking our phone for a text or sports score or, y'know, a pocket monster in the wild. So, we can undoubtedly sympathize with this reporter who was called out — on television — at a U.S. State Department press briefing for playing "Pokémon GO."
CNN caught the exchange on Thursday, as State Department spokesman John Kirby briefly halted his discussion of efforts to combat ISIS to turn and ask, "You're playing the Pokémon thing right there, aren't you?"
Nintendo transports us back the 1980s with this terrific promo for the recently announced NES Classic Edition — even going so far as to resurrect the slogan "Now you're playing with power." You may want to pop your collar to set the mood before you settle in to watch. Feathered hair is optional.
Announced last week, the miniature replica of the Nintendo Entertainment System — it can fit in the palm of your hand — will launch Nov. 11, loaded with 30 NES games, including "Donkey Kong," "Final Fantasy," "Pac-Man," "The Legend of Zelda" and "Super Mario Bros."
Eleven months after their arrest, two Iowa men were sentenced today to two years in prison after pleading guilty to weapons charges in what prosecutors and police characterized as a plot against the 2015 Pokémon World Championships in Boston.
The Boston Globe reports that James Stumbo, 28, pleaded guilty to possession of an AR-15 rifle, while Kevin Norton, 19, pleaded guilty to possession of a shotgun. Both copped to possession of hundreds of rounds of ammunition. The two have already spent 335 days in jail.
Conventions | There's still plenty to do in San Diego this week, even if you don't have a Comic-Con badge. A local news station runs down the options, from events that anyone can enjoy with minimal effort to the hard-core nerd stuff. [KPBS]
Political cartoons | The cartoonist Faro, who's from Nice, pens an anguished explanation of why he will not do cartoon memes about tragedies any more: "At a certain point, one must know when to stop, and I am not convinced that my fellow citizens — yes I am both a press cartoonist and from Nice — have the heart to appreciate these digital or paper mournings one more time. And I am not speaking of those who take a risk in trying to find humor in a similar situation. I have a hard time understanding the practice of producing the official logo of carnage and then seeking to pass it on in posterity while these innocents pass over to the other side." [The Huffington Post]
Mark Hamill is beloved for his role as Luke Skywalker in the "Star Wars" saga, but for a generation of Batman fans he's also the definitive Joker, having voiced the villain for the past 25 years in animated series and films, and in video games. Over the weekend at "Star Wars" Celebration Europe, those two iconic properties merged in one wonderful custom collectible.
Ken Hampton of Hampton's Hand-Crafted LED Sabers, whose work we've featured before, presented the actor with a mash-up Joker Lightsaber commissioned by his customers for Hamill. The piece features a purple grip, "Ha Ha Ha" lettered in green on the fore grip, and Joker cards etched onto the "emitter shroud." And at the press of a button, Hamill can hear his own Joker laugh.
If you've ever dreamt about riding across the neon, grid-like expanse of Steven Lisberger's 1982 digital "Tron" frontier on one of the series' iconic lightcycles, you might finally be in luck. After three years of work, the creators of the Cyclotron Bike debuted their campaign on Kickstarter. Now, it's been funded.
Check out the bike below:
The masterminds behind the "Avengers: Age of Ultron" Iron Man Hulkbuster high chair and Lego Double Decker Couch from "The Lego Movie" have gone "Back to the Future" for their latest amazing creation — a DeLorean hot tub.
"Super-Fan Builds" is a webseries, part of AWE me's YouTube channel, that brings together Hollywood special effects artists and prop builders to create one-of-a-kind-creations. The latest episode marries two very unlikely components for "Back to the Future" super-fan Brandon: The actual chassis from a DeLorean (complete with functional gull-wing doors) and a hot tub.
You might not have asked for it, but it's here — someone has reimagined "Futurama" as a live-action series in the trailer for an upcoming fan film called "Fan-o-rama."
Check out the trailer, which puts an accurate (albeit, slightly disturbing) spin on Leela, Fry, Bender, and the rest of Planet Express, below:
LEGO will join in the celebration of Wonder Woman's 75th anniversary with the debut of a life-size brick statue of the DC Comics icon this week at Comic-Con International.
Standing a little taller than 6-foot-1, the LEGO creation contains 22,736, and weighs 138 pounds (including the base). The model took 99 hours to design, and another 218 to build. You can watch a time-lapse video of the construction process below.
Conventions | In the wake of mass shootings in San Bernardino, Orlando and Dallas, and the attack last week in Nice, France, one newspaper looks at the security surrounding Comic-Con International, which kicks off Wednesday in San Diego. Although few details are revealed, a San Diego Police Department official says there will be "numerous" uniformed officers on foot, on bike, in patrol cars and in helicopters, as well as a "large" contingent of undercover cops "to make it was a safe and successful event." The San Diego Metropolitan Transit System got more specific, noting that nearly 200 armed transit officers and TSA-trained K9 units will be deployed along transit route and platforms. [The Press-Enterprise]
If the new footage from "Rogue One: A Star Wars Story" doesn't have you wistful for the glory days of the Galactic Empire, when entire star systems quaked at rumors of a moon-sized space station, then this "Star Wars Battlefront" teaser trailer certainly will.
Debuting today out of "Star Wars" Celebration Europe in London, it's offers a taste of what to expect from Electronic Arts' third digital expansion pack, Death Star.
Awards | Sonny Liew's "The Art of Charlie Chan Hock Chye" is the first graphic novel to win the Singapore Literature Prize for English Fiction. Ironically, the awards are supported by Singapore's National Arts Council, which had originally provided financial support for the book but withdrew it last summer when controversy arose over its contents. "The award is given by the Book Council rather than NAC, so I don't think it represents change in NAC's stance towards the book, but it is a real honour winning this prize and gives me more encouragement for future projects," Liew said.

No look inversion???
I just downloaded this and found that there is no setting for look inversion. Does anyone know if they're going to have a patch for this. I've heard really good things about this game, but I really hate having to fight myself with the controller.
If they patch this it'd be cool but I doubt that.
Thanks Blaze. I won't even pick up a game that I know I can't invert. For me it's like writing left handed; it can be done, but it takes longer and usually ends up looking like shit. I'll give this one a shot when I get home. I haven't come across this in a while and took it for granted.
I always wonder if it was a certain game that makes people like inverted better.
I get the whole thing that inverted is like using your head and regular is like using your eyes and i can adjust to both but i would never choose inverted when i have a choice.
This annoyed me also, I spent about 5 mins checking every menu and sub menu for it.
I adjusted to it but it definately contributed to my death once or twice.
Again I want to thank you Blaze. Even though I ran into trouble on certain points, the game was well worth it. Hopefully we'll get a patch, but if we don't I'll still pick up and play the other episodes when they come out.
I too play everything Inverted! But I'm here to tell you ... dont let that stop you from getting this game. It's is not that big of a deal in this game.
Trust me, if I can play without the inversion, ANYBODY can. LOL!
I used to play inverted back when I was younger but I lost the 'feel' for it over time and now sit on default except for flying for the most part.
They should add an inverted option in the disc version or possibly season 2. I'm trying to get used to not playing inverted for this game.
No inverted = no buy for me.
If the developers can't be arsed to cater for the large proportion of gamers who use inverted controls then I can't be arsed to part with any dosh. With a backlog of over 30 games then I've got plenty of other material to fill my time.
Came into this thread hoping someone would have a solution for inverting, but apparently not :( guess I'm just going to have to get used to it.
For me inverting comes from decades of PC flight sims giving me that muscle memory, I even run the mouse wheels on computers that way (drives people mad when they borrow my machine at work).
First of all... no one hates "non-inverted" more than me! That is why I own a 360 controller that has an invert switch to "force" the setting for games that won't support it.
That said... the "look inversion" for this game is NOT the same as a typical first-person shooter/game. For the most part, what you're dealing with is the movement of the cursor around the screen. It does bother me that it can't be inverted (and I can just plug-in that special controller to remedy that)... but what bugs the hell out of me, is that you can't swap thumbsticks!
What idiot programmer decided it was a good idea to have to move the cursor around the screen AND mash the appropriate button at the same time - with the same hand?! They can stop trying for absolute idiocy: There are no other contenders!!!
The moving around in the game is clumsy, at best... so THAT should have been done with the right thumbstick, not the left. I suppose I'll have to look for a controller that has thumbstick swapping ability - in addition to look inversion (and find that idiot programmer and bitch-slap him)! :mad:

Kanye West has spared no expense to support Kim Kardashian during her pregnancy.
The 'No Church In The Wild' rapper - who has spent most of this year living in Paris, where he is recording his new album - is doing his best to be by his 32-year-old girlfriend's side as much as possible before she gives birth to their first child in early July.
A source told gossip website TMZ.com that the 35-year-old star has made a point of flying back to Los Angeles for all of her major doctor's appointments.
Kanye, who has also been on tour, has spent approximately $100,000 on private jets and has made at least three transatlantic trips to support the reality TV star on her medical check-ups.
An insider also revealed that Kanye has also been reaching out to Kim's doctors to discuss the appointments in advance so he can make changes to his busy schedule to be present.
The 21-time Grammy award winner also chartered a private jet for Kim to visit him recently so they could spend some quality time together before their baby arrives.
Kim was recently was forced to admit during a deposition in her divorce battle against Kris Humphries, which came to an end this week, that she has spent more time away from Kanye than with him since they began dating a year ago.
Kris, who was married to Kim for 72 days until November 2011, allegedly decided to drop his bid to secure an annulment because he feels sorry for her.
A source told RadarOnline.com: ''Yes, he was angry at Kim for the way their marriage ended and he truly did feel defrauded by her and the show.
''But lately, especially in recent weeks, he just feels sorry for her.
''She's pregnant and obviously under a lot of stress. He didn't want to be part of it any more.''

'2046' Doesn't Add Up: In Wong's Hong Kong Tale, All That Glitters Is Glum
Remake of 'Hazzard' Is Crude, Rude, Loud -- Yet Likeable; Our Picks of Summer DVDs
Some mysteries are best left unsolved. When Wong Kar Wai's "In the Mood for Love" opened four years ago, the movie's admirers, including me, marveled at the shimmering beauties of a peek-a-boo romance in which little was said, not much happened and almost nothing was explained. The mysterious man and woman of the piece, Maggie Cheung's exquisitely pensive Li-zhen and Tony Leung's handsome journalist, Mr. Chow, didn't even qualify as lovers. Residents of the same rooming house, they were melancholy yearners, drawn to each other after realizing that their spouses were having an affair, yet inhibited by the mores of the place and time -- Hong Kong in 1962. Now Mr. Wong has given us "2046," a sort of sequel that tells us more than we need to know about what became of Mr. Chow. (He became a womanizer, and a glum one at that.)
Once again the setting is Hong Kong, and the year is 1966, notwithstanding the title, which refers to a hotel room of special significance in Chow's love life, to the title of a lurid sci-fi potboiler that he writes, to the date of Hong Kong's final integration into China, and to a destination -- either a time or place or both -- where lovers go to recapture lost memories. Is all of that clear? Well, it isn't meant to be. This, too, is a mood piece, sometimes surreal and dominated by Chow's lovelorn sadness. But it's hard to find an emotional or narrative handle to hang on to, since the filmmaker keeps reaching for dramatic energy that keeps eluding him. Several futuristic flourishes -- glittering cityscapes criss-crossed by monorails, an android cabin attendant on a train -- suggest a sci-fi film that may have been partially shot and then jettisoned, except for such vestiges, a film whose action really was set in the future.
More troubling still, the account of Chow's serial affairs is so insubstantial as to be vaporous. And the vapors turn vaguely toxic as we follow his solemn liaisons with six women, all of them beautiful -- Gong Li plays a mysterious gambler, Ms. Cheung makes what can only be termed a guest appearance -- and all but one of them uninteresting. The welcome exception is Ziyi Zhang's Bai Ling, a surly party girl with a tender heart who likes to drink as much as Chow does. With each flash of her fiery anger the screen ignites.
'The Dukes Of Hazzard'
YEEEEE HAAAAW! They've gone and done it. The feature version of "The Dukes Of Hazzard" turns a sow's ear into a bigger sow's ear.
This is no small achievement. The TV series that ran on CBS from 1979 to 1985, and still plays in reruns, was something of a landmark. It marked the land, in rural Georgia, where a couple of rambunctious boy cousins, Bo and Luke Duke, raced around Hazzard County in an orange Dodge Charger called the General Lee, while their extremely girly cousin, Daisy, pranced around in tight-fitting shorts. The TV series was shrewd in its silliness, likable in its cornpone crudity. The movie, starring Seann William Scott, Johnny Knoxville and Jessica Simpson, inflates silliness to cheerful idiocy, and catches up with our culture's downward definition of crude.
Burt Reynolds plays, clumsily, the crooked commissioner Boss Hogg. The good music on the soundtrack plays almost as loud as the screeching of the General's tires and the bellowing of its exhaust. But the movie is mainly about the carnage that's inflicted, and suffered, by the General -- we live in a golden age of car chases -- and the parts of Ms. Simpson's anatomy that fill Daisy's shorts.
Normally these reviews deal only with movies playing nationally, or at least simultaneously in several big cities, where significant numbers of readers can actually see them. This week, though, I want to take note of Carroll Ballard's "Duma," which is playing, for the moment, only in Chicago. A wonderful film about a South African boy and an orphaned cheetah, it's the sort of production that needs and deserves notice as its distributors devise a broader marketing plan. Mr. Ballard did that truly peerless adventure film "The Black Stallion," and many moments in "Duma" (the cheetah's name) rival that earlier movie's magic. I'll review "Duma" when it goes into wide release.
* * *
Before taking off for a vacation, I also want to recommend several new DVDs for late-summer enjoyment:
"Oliver's Travels" is talk, talk, talk, almost all of it irresistibly charming. Yet the gift of inspired tongues is not the only one conferred by this five-episode miniseries, made by the BBC in 1996 and recently released as a handsome DVD set. The script, by Alan Plater, interweaves word games, beautiful scenery, crossword puzzles, anagrams, epigrams and bad behavior in high places with a detective story and, best of all, romance. The inquisitive lovers, ardent though no longer young, are played by the late, great Alan Bates and Sinéad Cusack, an enchanting actress whose father was the renowned Irish actor Cyril Cusack. Bill Paterson, one of my favorite Scottish actors, is the cryptic villain.
"Off the Map," an intriguingly offbeat mood piece starring Joan Allen, fell off the big screen a few weeks after it opened last March. That's come to be normal, though, for certain films that use theatrical openings only as launching pads for eventual DVD release. This one, directed by Campbell Scott from a script by Joan Ackerman, centers on Ms. Allen's Arlene Groden, a tenacious earth mother living not only off the map but off the books in rural New Mexico with her depressed husband (Sam Elliott) and their 12-year-old daughter, a budding novelist. Everything changes when they're visited by an unworldly young IRS agent, though not in the way you might think. Juan Ruiz Anchia did the superb cinematography.
After last year's Telluride Film Festival I wrote about having seen "Hunger," the long-unavailable masterpiece made in 1966 by the Danish director Henning Carlsen. You won't mistake this for musical comedy -- the hero, played by the Swedish actor Per Oscarsson, is a half-crazed artist literally starving in late 19th century Norway. But Mr. Oscarsson gives one of the towering performances of movie history -- deeply eccentric, wildly extravagant, profoundly moving. Now the DVD is finally available from the director himself, in Copenhagen, at www.dagmarfilmproduktion.dk/.
Two last notes about forthcoming DVDs:
On Aug. 16 Warner Home Video will release "The Astaire & Rogers Collection, Vol.1." I haven't seen any test pressings, but assume that the transfers are of high quality -- a reasonable assumption, considering the source -- the titles included in the set make its imminent arrival epic news: the glorious "Swing Time" and "Top Hat," plus "Follow the Fleet," "Shall We Dance" and, for better and worse, the team's last film, "The Barkleys of Broadway."
I have seen an advance copy of Jean Renoir's "Boudu Saved From Drowning" ("Boudu Sauvé des Eaux") with Michel Simon's astonishing performance as a proto-hippie. The film was made in 1932 (and remade half a century later as "Down and Out in Beverly Hills"), but you'd never guess its age from its style, or from the radiant Criterion transfer. Look for it after its release date, Aug. 25. I'll be writing about both the Renoir and "The Astaire & Rogers Collection" in the new Weekend Edition come September.

I have a friend who has been prescribed 50mg nucynta. She also takes 10mg loretab, 60mg morphine or ms contin, 50mg tramadol, 5mg oxycodone. I cant even list all her health problems, but she been seeing same doctor for 10 or more years. He is obviously going to do some changing around things for her. So, how would the nucynta compare to anything else in strength that she is taking?

Nucynta is Tramadol's bigger brother. It reacts with opioid receptors, as well as having SSRI antidepressant + anti inflammatory properties. It modulates pain more than giving a "high" or buzz. Supposedly it's "safer", which is not true.. It carries risks of seizure and seratonin syndrome. "Safer" just means it is harder to abuse, and opiate addicts with tolerances cannot get a "high" from it.
I have taken both tramadol and Nucynta for spinal and lumbar pain.. These are new drugs, and should be taken with caution, the list of side effects is 30x longer than that of a true opiate. Withdrawals are worse than opi withdrawals.
Big pharma and the DEA don't mind if you seize, just as long as your pain meds don't make you feel high. Thanks war on citize... er drugs.
If your girl is on 60mg of morphine, she won't even feel a nucynta.

I really liked this course. It helped me understand how children that re abused react to certain situations. The course also helped me to understand the influence of a parent, caregiver or teacher in the physiological and psychological aspects of a child's life. Thank you so much for such a great course.

More Than A Rock
Essays on Art, Creativity, Photography, Nature, and Life
By Guy Tal
*** Books are signed by the author ***
Ostensibly about landscape photography, More Than a Rock is a passionate and personal book about creativity and expression. In this series of essays, photographer and teacher Guy Tal shares his thoughts and experiences as an artist who seeks to express more in his images than the mere appearance of the subject portrayed.
Tal makes an argument to consider creative landscape photography?expressing something of the photographer's conception through the use of natural aesthetics?as a form of visual art that is distinct from the mere representation of beautiful natural scenes.
Tal covers topics such as the art of photography, approaches to landscape photography, and the experiences of a working photographic artist. His essays also include reflections on nature and man's place in it, living a meaningful life, and living as an artist in today's world.
The book is decidedly non-technical and focuses on philosophy, nature, and visual expression. It was written for those photographers with a passion and interest in creative photography. Anyone who is pursuing their work as art, is in need of inspiration, or is interested in the writings of a full-time working photographic artist will benefit from reading this book. The book is visually punctuated with Tal's inspiring and breathtaking photography.
"Some images look like things, while others feel like things; some images are of things, while others are about things. A creative image is not a record of a scene nor a substitute for a real experience. Rather, it is an experience in itself-an aesthetic experience-something new that the artist has given the world, rather than a contrived view of something that already existed independent of them." ~Guy Tal
**** Guy Tal's photography is thoughtful, compassionate, and poetic; it's no wonder then that his writings evoke similar feelings in me. If you want to be a better camera user, read your manual. If you want to be a stronger, deeper photographer, read Guy Tal. ~David duChemin

Modification of Spatial Information in Coincident-Pair Recordings
A novel method is presented for modifying the spatial information contained in the output from a stereo coincident pair of microphones. The purpose of this method is to provide additional decorrelation of the audio at the left and right replay channels for sound arriving at the sides of a coincident pair but to retain the imaging accuracy for sounds arriving to the front or rear or where the entire soundfield is highly correlated. Details of how this is achieved are given and results for different types of soundfield are presented.

The Jets do everything in bunches: two wins, three losses, three wins, two losses. Their offense has struggled as quarterback Mark Sanchez has regressed behind a suddenly ineffective offensive line. Rex Ryan, who was fined $75,000 this week for cursing out a fan during a loss to New England, was stunned by his defense's collapse against Tebow and the Broncos on Nov. 17.
Buffalo is in even worse shape, dropping three in a row, including 21-11 to the Jets, a game in which the Bills were manhandled. They won't have their best offensive player, RB Fred Jackson, who is sidelined the rest of the way by a right leg injury.
Coach Chan Gailey doesn't want to hear about sagging spirits, though.
"If you've got a professional football team that's in the hunt and I've got to go give them some kind of talk to keep them motivated, we're in trouble," Gailey said. "My feeling is that if you've got a team that is that fragile, you're in trouble. I believe we have guys that understand about fighting through tough times and fighting through adversity."
Cleveland (4-6) at Cincinnati (6-4)
Cincinnati's chore is easy: beat the dregs of the league and likely make the playoffs. After the Browns, the Bengals do have Houston, Pittsburgh and Baltimore, but also St. Louis and Arizona. A 9-7 mark might be good enough, and a win over one of those better teams would get Cincinnati to 10 wins and almost certainly a wild-card berth.
The Bengals won at Cleveland to open what has been an uplifting season even though they have lost to their toughest opponents, the Ravens, Steelers and 49ers. Rookie Andy Dalton has progressed nicely at quarterback, and the defense is strong.
Cleveland has the No. 1 pass defense in football, yardage-wise, but only because teams run the ball down the Browns' throat every week.
Tampa Bay (4-6) at Tennessee (5-5)
Tampa gave Green Bay all it could handle last week but, like so many times this season, the disappointing Bucs fell short.
They bring an old, uh, friend back to Tennessee in DT Albert Haynesworth, a former All-Pro in his Titans days and now a situational player for the Bucs. Whether he gets a chance to sack Matt Hasselbeck is problematic: Hasselbeck injured his right arm in a loss to Atlanta, but vows he will start Sunday with Tennessee still in the thick of the wild-card race.
Washington (3-7) at Seattle (4-6)
Seattle seems to have found some spark with consecutive victories over Baltimore and St. Louis. It's too late for the Seahawks to repeat their NFC West crown — they're on the verge of elimination — but three more future opponents have losing records, so a .500 season isn't impossible.
The Redskins almost certainly won't get to the break-even mark. On a six-game skid, they have a pitiful run game and their minus-10 turnover differential is tied for last in the league.
Arizona (3-7) at St. Louis (2-8)
Among the league's most lopsided rivalries, this game also has become the least inviting on the holiday schedule. The Cardinals have won nine of the last 10 in the series, six straight in St. Louis, and outscored the Rams 278-161 in those 10 games. This is the third straight road game for Arizona, which won at Philadelphia and lost at San Francisco.

A great location, close to a metro station. The first day, the proprietor was waiting for us with two other guys. They explained the house rules but also answered all the questions about Rome. They were very helpful. Unfortunately the weather wasn't great it was raining all the time, but this didn't stop us to visit all great attractions in Rome. In the morning there was a café next to the apartment complex for a breakfast. The breakfast wasn't much but we aren't such a great eaters, so it was perfect. As later we discovered that most Rome citizens don't eat much for breakfast. The apartment was great you had several rooms with bathroom. Our room was close to a road so you could hear cars all the time, but after a long day visiting attractions you were just knock out at the end of the day. The apartment was close to several bus stations and metro station, this was great because from there on we could go anywhere. The stay was really great, I recommend it!
Was a great time in Roma. Thank you for the nice room :-)
We had a nice stay at this B&B. Friendly staff and clean room.
Everything was really good and i definitely recommend staying at this place! Great room, nice host and a really good location - best place to stay in rome.
Great locaction near metro. Very friendly host who gave us a lot of useful information. Room was simple but comfortable and very quiet considering being in the city center. We would always like to return.
Everything was alright. The room was old, but very cozy.
The location was very good:
1 Min to the Metro Station and 5 min from the Trainstation.
The breakfast was in a Café-Bar next to the room and included a coffee and a croissant.
Sergio was a polite guy.
One minus point is that in our room the Wifi don't works. But who needs the internet on his holiday.
Thank you for the nice weekend.
Peter and Julia
A verry nice place to stay ! charming and clean ! just near a metro station... and just a bit out of the touristic fury. Perfect !
Our host was WONDERFUL, very helpful always and the room was very clean, very convenient, had everything we could want and more! Our room was a good size, everything worked well, plumbing & wifi, perfect, very cute kitchen and others that were staying there were very friendly & quiet, as was the neighborhood. Metro & busing were convenient, breakfast was just enough & gourmet by American standards. We'd love to come back & stay!
I was very dissatisfied that the person was not there to meet me at the agreed upon time. I had to call the main office of Wimdu to get any kind of help. Unfortunately, with roaming and long distance charges, this came out to be about a $35 call. Then the room I reserved was not given to me, I was given a smaller room. In the end, I was very unhappy.
Everything was very good. Rooms are clean and very close to Colesseo, Termini Station and Metro. Many Thanks for Nicola for their help and hopitality.

DiDio & Lee Say Early "Rebirth" Response is 'Uncharted Territory' for DC Comics
Comic Books
Every week, I will spotlight strange but ultimately endearing comic stories (basically, we're talking lots and lots of Silver Age comic books). Here is the archive of all the installments of this feature. Feel free to e-mail me at firstname.lastname@example.com if you have a suggestion for a future installment!
Today, based on a suggestion from reader Charlie Ward, we take a look at the story of just why Superman decided to make Jimmy Olsen his "pal"…because as it turns out, Jimmy was Superman's babysitter back on Krypton! Confused? Well, read on to see what the deal was…
Charlie actually brought up the story from a different context besides just "what a strange comic," choosing instead to note the oddity of how the story decided to give the origin of how Superman came to choose Jimmy Olsen of all people to be his pal. As Charlie I think correctly notes, it is an explanation that no one really was curious about. I mean, Superman works with Jimmy Olsen as Clark Kent, so why would it be hard to believe he'd be pals with him?
Anyhow, the third story in 1959's Superman's Pal, Jimmy Olsen #36, by Otto Binder, Curt Swan and Ray Burnley, opens with Jimmy Olsen hanging out with some friends when Superman stops by to give Jimmy a new souvenir (he loved giving Jimmy souvenirs). His friends are all, "Man, how the hell did THAT dude end up becoming Superman's pal?" leading Jimmy to a flashback sequence where he tells the story of how he became Superman's pal. He did so by first becoming Superman's BABYSITTER!
It all started when Jimmy first came to Metropolis…
Gotta love Metropolis that there is enough crazy stuff going on that that dude's classified ad didn't seem THAT weird. So Jimmy ends up on Krypton. Luckily for him, they were doing a sort of science fiction type convention where people were cosplaying as Earthlings, so no one noticed Jimmy (while some of the Kryptonians were dressed up as Earthlings because they were legitimately interested in Earth, some not-so-hot women dressed up as Earthlings just because they wanted to make the nerdy guys who liked Earth a lot to think that they were really hot and then to buy them stuff. Because that is clearly how things work everywhere).
As noted in an old Abandoned An' Forsaked, back then, Superman got most of his powers from the gravity of Earth. Anyhow, so, of course, Jimmy ends up becoming Superman's babysitter.
Which, of course, involves eventually having to spank baby Kal-El…
And then making sure Kal-El escapes to Earth…
I love that the time travel guy will only pay you for his dangerous experiment if it works.
Anyhow, this is why Superman showed up and gave Jimmy the signal watch and asked him to be his pal…
Back in the present, Superman gives Jimmy the souvenir and ends the story on a really weird note (of all the things to say to a guy right before you fly out the window)…
That was a strange comic book story! But a fun one!
As someone noted back when I featured this other story (perhaps it was buttler?), this story definitely serves as a bizarre counterpart to the story of how Superman once adopted Jimmy Olsen (only to then torment him into trying to make Jimmy stop the adoption).
Thanks for the suggestion, Charlie Ward! If YOU have a suggestion for a story that you'd like to see featured here, feel free to e-mail me at firstname.lastname@example.com. I'm not going to use all the suggestions, but if you send me one I like, I will definitely use it!
"I'm going to kill this dog before I risk my son's life. Now, stranger, go babysit him."
If Krypton hadn't exploded, Children's Services would be all over Jor-El.
is baby superman wearing a helmet?and trust there kid to stranger they just met?
Ha ha! I love that we're used to these stories being so "strange" that you don't need to comment on baby Kal-El dressing like Superman, complete with a cape. Did they give some explanation for that?
"Jim-My Ol-Sen… from out-of-town… and you have no home or board…
"Finally, somebody to watch my baby for a while! Glad that worked out."
and trust there kid to stranger they just met?
No wonder they couldn't keep their planet from exploding!
Too bad there was no room on that time travel device to same Jor-El or Lara.
There was…?
… while some of the Kryptonians were dressed up as Earthlings because they were legitimately interested in Earth, some not-so-hot women dressed up as Earthlings just because they wanted to make the nerdy guys who liked Earth a lot to think that they were really hot and then to buy them stuff. Because that is clearly how things work everywhere.
Bravo, Mr. Cronin. That may be the funniest thing I've read this month.
I was just going to say that, Dean. You're a beautiful man, Brian.
so kryptonans just hire strangers to watch their children and is Jor-el using krypto to test the rocket?
No wonder Superman turned out to be such a dick.
"Quiet or Papa Spank!"
"Krypton citizens are supplied free things by the government"
"Krypton citizens are supplied free things by the government"
This is how Cal Ellis, the Superman of Earth 23, was elected president.
And just like that, Superman gives Jimmy the Daisy BB gun he always wanted for Christmas. And samples of every kind of Kryptonite that he displays on a bookshelf.
I'm just amused by the time travel guy. He's so irresponsible it's fantastic.
"You look like a guy who could travel time. Hop in! Oh, and you may end up on another planet or something. Have fun!"
That's what I was thinking. Why didn't Jimmy risk taking Jor-El and Lara with him in the time machine?
Jimmy's "Destiny couldn't be changed!" isn't an excuse. As far as Jimmy knows, he's been creating "destiny". He's the reason the ship could be finished, and he's the reason Kal-El was able to be on the ship. And saving them wouldn't have changed intervening 20 years, anyway. So Jimmy knows he's essential to history playing out, and capable of a last second rescue that wouldn't really contradict history. But he doesn't even make the attempt to save them.
Lois always wondered why Superman made her wear the red wig for their "naughty" nights.
And why, whenever the spankings didn't seem to "get the job done", Superman suddenly "heard Jimmy's signal watch".
Poor Lois.
And Ian ftw.
Did I miss how Krypto was back after being shot into space?
And how was it Jimmy could fly?
Yep, CB, that's all explained in the pages posted. We see Jimmy get an anti-gravity belt, and Krypto's rocket has just returned to Krypton from a test flight when first we see it; it's not being shot off into space.
There are amazing. Keep 'em coming please!
In addition to all the questions raised by previous commenters, how is Krypto around to help catch Kal-El after being sent away on his doomed flight?
And how does "It seems Krypton citizens are supplied free things by the government! It won't be stealing if I [non-Krypton citizen] take a belt and suit." make any sort of sense?
I mean, certain charming goofiness in the stories in this series is to be expected, but many have such a complete disregard for internal logic that I can't believe it didn't bother the readers at the time. And yes, I know the target audience was kids,but I know I would feel patronized throughout even as a kid – all up to the dubious ending moral. (Being someone's pal "as a reward"? Great life lesson there.)
Obviously, though, the Professor's surname should have clued us in that the whole plot of the comic was some kind of drug-induced hallucination.
Re: Krypto. There are words in the comic, not just pictures. He's not being sent away anywhere just yet.
figured that on krypton super man would be a normal baby that jimmy would having the red sun effect him be able to displine him. and surprised after jimmy went back superman did not lose that memory . not to mention that jimmy did not out of really making this story crazy try and get laura and jor el to enter the time machine with him and escape krypton
buttler, it's true that I missed the caption about the rocket returning (as well as your previous post regarding Krypto due to not having refreshed my browser, sorry). Although, to be fair, the dialogue below and especially the artwork sure make it look as the rocket's taking off rather than landing.
And it means that Superman's dad must have sent the pup's spaceship at some point between "We can all escape!" and the total planetary destruction "only moments later". Possible of course, but still pretty sloppy as far as continuity goes.
Oh yeah, for sure, they were all kinds of sloppy about continuity back then by today's standards; they clearly weren't really thinking about fans cross-referencing with other stories. So indeed it really doesn't address how the heck Krypto got here. And it's also true that the rocket totally looks like it's taking off, despite the caption to the contrary.
"You see, you're going to be my pal!"
Sounds like prison talk to me.
Otto Binder, Curt Swan and Ray Burnley!!! BLAM!!!
The very first JO story i ever read, in superman annual 5.The book that made me a dc silver age fan.
Ethan, "Did they give some explanation for that?"
Ha, it was the early DC Silver Age, there really weren't any explanations for anything…and when they were they weren't very good…I love reading this kind of stuff…The Many Transformations of Jimmy Olson trade is one of my favorites.
That scientist is clearly a fraud- he obviously stole a Time-Sphere from visiting members of the Legion of Super-Heroes. To this day, they're probably wandering around arguing about where they parked.
Shouldn't Jimmy have been instantly crushed by Krypton's gravity?
Damn, this is a funny thread. But now we know the real reason Krypton blew up: God destroyed it because it was a socialist dystopia. Which pretty much tells us where Obama was really born, I think.
The timing for Krypto doesn't make any sense: If the main ship was ready to go, why would Jor-El have to send up a test rocket? But I must say, as a kid this stuff really didn't bother me much: I didn't read this one but hey, it had a trip back to Krypton, cool stuff about what Krypton was like, Jimmy saving Kal-El …what could be cooler?
That being said, no way is Jimmy changing history if he lets Jor-El and Lara go with him. The planet still blows up, and them escaping doesn't interfere with that (unless Jimmy drops them off in Kansas to raise their kid).
Interestingly (or not) there's another time trip to Krypton in JO 101, where he does try to avert the planet's destruction.
Hmm, Kansas. When was that identified as the location of Smallville?
"Ha ha! I love that we're used to these stories being so "strange" that you don't need to comment on baby Kal-El dressing like Superman, complete with a cape. Did they give some explanation for that?"
I believe they described that as a playsuit.
So Jor-El and Lara couldn't escape their dying planet because THEIR ROCKET WASN'T FUELED?! That's pretty depressing. Then again, they WERE rock-stupid, so no big loss. They aren't the least bit surprised to be eavesdropped on by a man in a government-surplus flying belt (you know, the kind they give out for free to fat people at those horrible Earth cosplay street fairs). And Jor-El doesn't hesitate to mention that the planet is doomed to his BABYSITTER, so maybe the Science Police were right to be on his case. Then again, at least he had the sense to test his wacky device on the family dog instead of a redhead hired through a classified ad.
The whole story revolves around that spanking, but I guess back then spankings were like cigarettes, they just didn't know they were bad for kids. I'm pretty sure they knew that following corporal punishment with an ice cream treat was pretty f'd up. "Sorry about the beating, Tommy. Have an Oreo! Now I'm going to give you an Indian burn."
I was SHOCKED to discover that Jimmy originally got his job through connections instead of his raw, undeniable talent for whatever the hell it is he does. But since he can evidently read and speak Kryptonese fluently, I'll overlook that. However, the fact that Lois Lane published a picture book kind of lowers my image of her.
But for all its flaws this is the first comic book story I've seen that acknowledges how moving through time would also necessarily entail moving through SPACE due to planetary and stellar motion. Props to the guy who shoehorned that little fact into the story about how horseplay by ginger ruffians caused the Krypton Council to rescind their free-flying-belts-for-fatties program.
The best thing about reading these is that Brian Cronin finds some excellent oddities from the past and (usually but not always, especially not about Lois) makes some insightful or at least fun comments on each page.
The worst thing about reading these is the comments section, where an uncomfortably large number of people seem to denigrate anything which does not easily conform to their narrow cultural lens as irrational, lacking in logical consistency, or as bizarre. Not the majority of people who post, but a large enough number of make reading the comments section a reason to feel embarrassed about the increasing level of cluelessness and narrow mindedness.
For example, anyone who bothered to take a class on economics would easily recognize this vision of Krypton as a post-scarcity society, the sort of utopia often fantasized about throughout the 20th century. It's not an obscure idea or a difficult one to grasp. Thus, Krypton not only provides many necessities for free to its citizens but would happily provide them to any visitor since they have so much more than they could possibly imagine using — a classic post-scarcity society. Anyone who has watched any of the Star Trek series from the 1960s original through to the 1990s Voyager has also seen a post-scarcity utopia, in which the Enterprise crew happily provide free food and clothing and medicine to anyone who happens to visit.

Death Echo (Compact Disc)
When she joined St. Kilda's, the elite security consulting firm, Emma Cross thought she'd left behind the blood, the guilt, and the Tribal Wars that defined her life at the CIA. Yet trading spying for investigating yacht thefts didn't alleviate the danger. Now, the same good instincts that got her into trouble at the agency might be the one thing that will help her survive her latest case.
St. Kilda and Emma are tracking a yacht named Blackbird. Emma knows the boat's intended cargo is lethal. What she needs to find out is whether it's biological, chemical, or fissionable. And she's only got seven days to uncover the truth . . . or a major American city will be lost. Fortunately, she's working with a new partner as menacing and distrustful as the worst enemy she's ever faced—Mackenzie Durand.
But Emma and Mac aren't the only eyes watching Blackbird. Taras Demidov, an expert in extortion and execution in the pay of oligarchs running the Former Soviet Union, is also waiting in the shadows, determined to intercept a fearsomely powerful arms dealer with the money, weaponry, and connections to alter the geopolitical balance.

Andrew Lustig recently wrote that for nine years the federal minimum wage has been frozen at $5.15 per hour ("Bare Minimum," February 10). That means a minimum-wage worker fortunate enough to secure forty hours of work a week, fifty-two weeks a year, brings home an annual salary of just $10,712. In 2002, the most recent year for which we have data, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that over one million adult workers twenty-five or older were trying to eke out a living on that federal minimum, or an even lower one applied to tipped employees. Despite growing public support for an increase in the federal minimum wage, and a much-touted 1995 study, by Princeton economists David Card and Alan Krueger, suggesting that raising the wage floor certainly does not cut jobs and may even create them, the Republican leadership in both houses of Congress has successfully thwarted every legislative attempt to bring the federal minimum wage into the twenty-first century.
In the past nine years, there has been a steady erosion of the dollar's buying power, with drastic consequences for the working poor. In the late 1960s, a full-time minimum-wage job pulled a family of three out of poverty. By the late 1990s, a minimum-wage income left the same family nearly 20 percent short of the poverty line. Today, a minimum-wage worker supporting two dependents brings home only two-thirds of the income necessary to surpass the...

Shadowfoot, Thieves Guild
|Reached Shadowfoot rank in the Thieves Guild
The promotion to Shadowfoot requires you to complete two quests, "Lost Histories" and "Taking Care of Lex".
Lost Histories – S'Krivva will give you this quest once you have fenced four hundred gold worth of stolen merchandise. Another guild thief, Theranis, has not returned from an assignment in Skingrad where he went to steal the book Lost Histories of Tamriel. You are to return with the book, regardless of the fate of your fellow thief. If you talk to the beggars in Skingrad, you discover that Theranis was arrested and thrown into the castle dungeons. Talk to the guard about getting a job at the castle and he will tell you that the castle butler, Shum gro-Yarug, is hiring new staff. Talk to the butler, who is usually in the Main Hall, and he will hire you as a servant to feed the prisoners.
Return to the prison and use your new position to gain access to the prison cells by talking to the guard. Unfortunately, the only prisoner there, Larthjar the Laggard, tells you that a "Pale Lady" has take Theranis from his cell and later his Argonian cell-mate as well. Follow the trail of the blood left by the Argonian on the floor and it will lead you to a wall. Pull the "Strange Candle" on the right and a secret passage will open. Follow the trail through the passage and into the wine cellar until you get to a very large wine cask. There is another "Strange Candle" on the cask to the right, which will open the cask. Go through until you see the Pale Lady.
If you can sneak attack, do so, because she will attack you on sight. Theranis is dead on the floor. Check his body and then talk to Amusei, the Argonian prisoner. You must free Amusei using the key off of the body of the Pale Lady and return to the wine cellar. Turn right and exit into the Dining Hall. Sneak out of the Castle through the door on the back right corner of the room and then exit the Courtyard through the Main Gate. Once you have successfully escaped the Castle, Amusei will tell you that the book is hidden under a bush that is near Nerastarel's house on the north side of town. Recover the book and return it to S'krivva for your reward.
Taking Care of Lex – S'Krivva will give you this assignment after you have fenced five hundred gold worth of stolen goods. The Countess of Anvil is looking for a new captain for her guard and you will replace the list of candidates with one that highly recommends Lex. You must begin by stealing the real letter from the desk of Dairhill in Anvil. Travel to Anvil and talk to a beggar. They will tell you to talk to Orrin, the blacksmith, in the castle, who turns out to be a Guild member. He will show you a secret passage that leads directly to the private quarters. Turn left when you come out of the passage, open the door to Darihill's room, and break into her desk to steal the list. Exit the Castle and go talk to a beggar about the Master Forger. They will tell you that he lives in the Abandoned House to the right of the Anvil Mages Guild.
Wait until late afternoon or early evening, enter the house, and ask him about forging the letter. Wait one day and then return to him to pick up the letter. You must pay him the fee of five hundred gold at this point. Travel to the Imperial Legion Offices at the Imperial City Prison, break in, and use the seal on the desk. Once the letter is sealed, deliver it to Countess Unbranox in Anvil. She will decide to hire Lex and ask you to deliver the transfer orders to him. Find him in the Imperial City, give him the orders, and return to S'krivva for your reward and promotion. The achievement will unlock when the conversation with S'krivva is over.

This is the first thing you will read when you enter the me4kidz website.
I was on the hunt for first aid kits, after my daughter's preschool required her to have one in her earthquake kit.
We live in California, where earthquakes happen often, so the schools require this.
I went from store to store, only to find that the kits didn't look child-friendly. I wanted a kit that would appeal to my daughter, since we were getting it for her.
I was really disappointed in the choices out there, until I came across me4kidz, which stands for, medical emergencies for kids.
When opening the bag, it had a huge assortment of everything and anything you could possibly need.
My daughter and I went through each individual item and talked about its use. It even included kid-friendly stickers.
Another great tidbit about the company is that, all their products are made in the US, which means they keeps jobs inside the US.
For more information, regarding the products they have, as well as store locations, please go to me4kidz .

There's a moment in almost all Vegas weekends when you feel like you have to do it.
You start making "hard way" bets at the craps table.
As you walk by the roulette tables, $20 bills fly out of your pocket, then land on your lucky number.
Every sports bet becomes a four-team parlay that pays 10-to-1 or better.
That's because you're hours from heading to the airport and your wallet is so light, it feels like it is affected by lunar gravity. With limited time and funds, you're looking to make a splash. There's no time to sit and grind out meager winnings.
Well, if the fantasy baseball season were a Vegas weekend, it would be Sunday midmorning right now, because with trade deadline only two weeks from today and only 10 full weeks left in the season, you can't slow play your hand. You need to go all in.
Casing the joint
Imagine the fantasy owner who brags, "My team needed some help in RBIs, so I was able to trade spare parts for Jose Guillen. He had 66 runs batted in through Wednesday's games and there are only eight outfielders in baseball with more!"
Did our unnamed owner solve his roto-issues? Maybe but let's look closer. Guillen had 62 RBIs when June ended, so that means he has driven in only four in July, and now his back is acting up. Also, Guillen has never driven in more than 104 runs, so even if he matches it this season, that would only be another 36 runs batted in. And finally, Guillen's RBI total is only about 20 higher than guys like Jack Cust or Eric Hinske, neither of whom are owned in even half of ESPN leagues. That means he has produced approximately one more RBI a week than the guy the owner will end up benching to slot him into the starting lineup. So even if Guillen keeps up his pace for the season, and there's evidence he won't, it might only end up providing a net increase of 10 RBIs.
So is the message that I hate all Kansas City Royals (as I was accused of a year ago)? No.
The takeaway is that you can't just do a small upgrade and expect to make up points at this time of the season. You need to target statistical monsters who, if they get hot, could literally change your season all by themselves. I'm talking about pitchers who you believe could give you another 10 wins or 90 strikeouts. We're looking for hitters who might hit another 20 homers or steal 20 bases. Obviously, it's safer and easier to try and get multiple players who each help a little, but those big deals can take weeks to get done. Unless you're in first place and already doing the Deion Sanders dance into the end zone, you need a hot-stat injection now, and that means taking risks on impact players.
With that profile in mind, here are:
Three I'm stealing
Carlos Delgado, 1B, Mets: Is the 36-year-old Puerto Rican slugger an injury risk? Sure. And yeah, 2007 was an abysmal season overall. But his second half showed his true talent level. Remember, from 2004 through 2006, Delgado had six separate months where he crushed eight homers or more. Now he has hit five dingers and slugged at a .725 mark in his first 69 at-bats of July. I can certainly see him hitting another 15 homers or more the rest of the way. And thanks to a .261 batting average, he's a lot more attainable than many of the other difference-makers in terms of power-hitting cornermen.
Alex Rios, OF, Blue Jays: As of Thursday, Rios was the 32nd-ranked hitter on ESPN's Player Rater, with more than half of his value wrapped up in his career-best 27 stolen bases. But unless he's an owner's only speed source, he's not going to be untouchable because he was drafted to be a 30-20 guy, not a 10-40 player. Here's the thing. I think he does keep the steals up and adds power from here on. He has already stolen as many bags in July -- 10 through Thursday night -- as he did in May and June combined, and his slugging percentage for the month is better than .500 for the first time this season. He's one of a handful of players who I think is a sure bet to give you both double-digit homers and steals from here on out and I bet he costs less than Grady Sizemore or Hanley Ramirez.
Joba Chamberlain, SP, Yankees: Dan Haren and Johan Santana escaped the AL in the offseason and now Rich Harden and CC Sabathia are pitching to pitchers. That has left a paucity of guys who can be expected to strike out a batter per inning and provide big win totals in the American League. However, I believe Chamberlain will do both and more for the balance of the season. The Yankees are surging and we know they'll be a factor in the playoff race when September comes, so the wins should be there, and his strikeout ability is unquestioned. Joba's whiffed 51 batters in 42.1 innings since being made a starter. In fact, he has walked only one batter and struck out 17 during his past two starts. Even though Chamberlain's current Player Rater rank has him in the 90s, I don't think there are 20 starters I'd rather have.
Three I'm dealing
Carlos Zambrano, SP, Cubs: This isn't about his team because the Cubs got plenty of wins ahead of them. It's about a feeling that he's just not quite right. Looking at the eight outings surrounding his strained shoulder in mid-June, I see five outings where he had at least as many walks as he had strikeouts. His ERA in July has been outstanding, as has his won-lost record, but why did they let him throw 125 pitches on Thursday night just when he looked better? Even with the good start, his strikeout rate is the lowest of his career and he's giving up a higher batting average than he has in any full season in his career. I just have a sneaking suspicion Zambrano is going to be a less dynamic pitcher the rest of the way.
Huston Street, RP, Athletics: Here's what we know. Street's name has been thrown around more often than a football on Thanksgiving Day lately. Street has blown his past two save chances and hasn't earned a save since July 7. Oakland has now truly waived the white flag and, as a result, has lost seven of its past 10 games. Street is arbitration eligible again this season, and we know that manager Billy Beane believes in paying top dollar for a closer about as much as I believe in praying to Gozer the Gozerian from "Ghostbusters." If Street gets moved, it likely will be to a team that will use him, at best, as a part-time closer, killing his value. If he stays on the A's, they might win about 20 more games all season and at his current rate -- Street has saved 17 of Oakland's 52 wins -- that would amount to about six or seven more saves. I bet you can peddle him to a save-hungry mark.
Delmon Young, OF, Twins: Feel free to cry "sour grapes" since I traded him a few weeks ago, but Young's .348 batting average in July might have brought his season mark up to a strong .294, but it has also masked the fact that this phenom, famous for his speed and power combination, is using neither of those tools. He has reached base safely 25 times in July, and only five were via extra-base hits. Those aren't slugger numbers. And with those other 20 times standing on first base, Young has attempted only two steals. Could he explode and fulfill his destiny of untapped power and unstoppable speed? I suppose. But in case he doesn't, why not deal him while his average is high and people think he might still be an impact player in 2008.
Pulling the job
Someone stole the space I needed to write this section for the week, so I'll have to skip it.
Until next week, don't just win your league. Steal it.

Hello Betty,
I am not sure exactly what you want the teachers to get from your workshop, but we have been using the internet to plan our curriculum on Our Solar System. An amazing web page is NASA's Starchild which has wonderful photos we downloaded and laminated to post in the classroom.
There are all kinds of web pages for math/science lesson plans for all ages and many of them have interactive sections for students.
If you could be more specific with what you want your participants to get from the workshop it may help activate my inner brainstorming system.
