I am an Indian currently residing in Mauritius. My husband has been working here since 2003. My daughter will turn 3 this July (2014). As a mother, I am a bit worried about her education. Initially, we decided that we would put her in nursery school in India since we were planning to visit in August. Later, we decided to stay here and put her in a school here in January of next year because the academic year starts then. She is a quick learner and has quickly picked up even on rhymes. At the age 3.5 years she will be going to nursery in Mauritius. Is it right on our part? I am sorry for this but I do not want her to suffer in future.

Many good questions generate some degree of opinion based on expert experience, but answers to this question will tend to be almost entirely based on opinions, rather than facts, references, or specific expertise.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
Age ranges for nursery and education vary between countries. You should investigate what is "common" in your country of residence and go with that.

As gusty winds kicked up around the playing fields of Oakdale this past week, multiple Mustang teams took the weather in stride. Oakdale's boys golf, boys tennis and boys varsity swim teams all braved the elements and earned victories.
"Just keep fighting" – that was the message from Oakdale varsity baseball head coach Nate Gregory to his ball club before the game began. After dropping three straight Valley Oak League (VOL) games to start the season, the varsity Mustangs have now won three straight to get back into the hunt. This past week Oakdale swept the Lathrop Spartans in a home-and-home series, bringing the Mustangs league record back to 3-3. Oakdale (12-6, 3-3) outscored the Spartans (4-8-1, 1-5) 19-1 in the two game series to springboard the Mustangs to third place in the current VOL standings.
In a showdown of undefeated teams, the Oakdale Lady Mustangs varsity track and field squad expanded their league dual meet winning streak to 89 on Thursday, April 14. In an 87-48 win over visiting Lathrop, Oakdale got great efforts on and off the track. Leading the way in the field competitions were seniors Hannah Chappell and Kai Tanner. Both seniors are undefeated this season in their respective throws competitions. Chappell took first place in the discus with her heave of 140'10" and Tanner powered her way to a first place finish in the shot put with her toss of ...
With just six games remaining on the regular season schedule, the Oakdale Lady Mustangs varsity soccer team currently sits in sixth place in the Valley Oak League standings. This past week Oakdale (10-6-3, 3-4-1) fell 2-1 to third place Central Catholic (9-2-1, 5-1-1) and tied 1-1 with fifth place Kimball ( 5-5-6, 3-4-1).
In a Valley Oak League (VOL) showdown between two undefeated teams, Oakdale went to East Union on Tuesday, April 12 for the first meeting between the two powerhouses this season. The two teams have combined for the last two CIF Sac-Joaquin Section Championships and were co-champions in the VOL last season. Tuesday's dramatic rivalry game ended in heartbreaking fashion as Oakdale (11-1, 5-1) fell to East Union (15-0, 7-0) by a final score of 5-3 on a three run walk-off home run in the bottom of the seventh inning.
Blind Draw - Low Net
It took a little longer than I had originally planned but I finally was able to fish Lake Pardee last weekend. The trip was a last minute decision so I ended up making the trip by myself. Surprisingly, it rained the whole time I was driving to the lake and stopped raining as soon as I arrived. I expected the boat ramp to be busy but there was not a boat in site when I got there. I didn't have the whole lake to myself but boat traffic was definitely below average for this time of year. Unfortunately the ...
Literally running away from the rest of the Valley Oak League teams for the 11th straight season, the Oakdale varsity girls track and field team dominated East Union 105-25 for their 83rd consecutive dual meet victory. Oakdale went to East Union on Thursday, April 7 along with the boys varsity team, the Mustang boys winning 94-31. The junior varsity boys tied 68-68 and the junior varsity girls took a tough loss, 82-26.
After being blanked by Manteca with identical 9-0 scores on both Tuesday and Wednesday, the Mustang boys tennis team answered with a 7-2 road win over Sierra. Taking four of six singles matches and sweeping Sierra in doubles, the Mustang boys remain in playoff contention.
The Oakdale Aquatic Center welcomed Sierra to town on Tuesday, April 5 in a Valley Oak League showdown. Oakdale's varsity girls dominated the visitors in a lopsided 128-42 dismissal.
The varsity girls soccer team's high-powered offense seemed to run out of gas this past week. Oakdale played three games and failed to score goals in two of them, losing 2-0 to Manteca and 2-0 to Sierra. However, the girls managed to put together a 4-2 road win over East Union in between those losses.
Bow Hunting for Spring Turkeys?
Loyal fans from across the United States gathered under their umbrellas and EZ Ups, bundled up in ponchos and hats and made their way to the 65th annual PRCA (Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association) Oakdale Saddle Club Rodeo. The weekend extravaganza saw plenty of rain and mud but did not keep the excited crowd away.
After putting away Sierra and Central Catholic, the Oakdale varsity Lady Mustangs softball team has improved to 6-0 in Valley Oak League action and 12-0 overall for the season. On Tuesday, April 12 the Lady Mustangs faced their league rival, East Union (13-0, 5-0) on the road, in a game played after The Leader went to press.

Dar: I love the story "struggle for national security upper hand" when everyone knows there is no struggle at all. What Crooked Hillary knows about national security, you could put in a thimble! Everything she touches either gets hacked, broken into, lied about, covered up and on and on. If the average American who has a brain can't see she would be a disastrous president, then something is wrong. What is really wrong, is the fact that many people will be voting for her strictly because she is a woman and not her credentials or her horrible record as Secretary of State.

Fire damages Northport home after stove left unattended
Published: Tuesday, January 14, 2014 at 11:00 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, January 14, 2014 at 11:45 p.m.
A home on Deer Haven Drive in Northport was damaged Tuesday after a resident left the kitchen stove unattended.
One of the three occupants of the home told firefighters that she was cooking with grease on the stove top, left to attend to laundry and returned to find the kitchen on fire, said Northport Fire Rescue spokesman Capt. Jason Norris.
"Crews made an aggressive interior attack and brought the fire under control in a matter of minutes," Norris said.
No one was injured.

Wrangler Worn Across America
Worn across America with Wrangler is a new campaign they are running. For Wrangler's S/S11, the denim brand returns with a collection inspired by the classic US road trip. Introducing 4 different washes, NYC, IOWA, UTAH and LA, each jean documents a broken journey across the USA. This involves jeans being just worn and ending up getting destroyed, the colours go from deep and dark to light and bright, the denim varies from reinforced and unbreakable to superlight cotton linen. The inspiration is eclectic: military pieces, signature Wrangler leather, the twisted teardrops of paisley prints. This is Life on the Road.
To celebrate this story, Wrangler has devised an exciting competition, Try On one of Wrangler's contemporary fits to win an incredible tour across the United States, from New York to Los Angeles! All you have to do is go into Selfridges and try on any of the Wrangler contemporary fit jeans and you will be entered into the contest. The promotion will end at midnight on April 30th 2011. It sounds fantastic to me! I would love a trip across the US!
Men: try on the Ben. It's a modern anti-fit jean with regular top block and tapered legs and women: try on the Molly. It's a contemporary-cut slim-fit that goes with anything, any time.
The winners' incredible, adrenaline-fuelled tour starts in… New York: find out why the city never sleeps. Next, Iowa, spend the night outdoors at Zion National Park. The following day learn Native survival techniques before bedding down in Utah's awesome canyons, then the action hits the asphalt, with a drive on the legendary Route 66 to Las Vegas and the trip rounds out in Los Angeles.
Adam Kakembo, marketing director of Wrangler EMEA says: "Worn Across America, the SS11 collection, demonstrates our remarkable denim innovation. Hold the four washes next to each other and you can see how the marks of wear evolve at each stage. The season's thrilling promotion brings the collection to life, and the winners will have the time of their lives!"
Jessica Alba in 7 For All Mankind
A glowing Jessica Alba was seen making her way to a friends house in Beverly Hills, California a few weeks ago. I think Jess looks really summery here in the floral top with the wedges and the skinny jeans. Her jeans are 7 For All Mankind's Maternity Skinny's in Rind wash.
She is definitely rocking the maternity jeans lately. Even though she is pregnant, I don't think it's going to have any effect on her style. I will be interested to see what outfits she puts together when she is around 7-8 months though, it will be a lot more tricky around that time. Buy 7 For All Mankind at Singer22.com.
Julianne Hough in American Eagle
Dancer Julianne Hough picked her pup up at a veterinarian center in West Hollywood, California a couple of days ago. She has such a cute doggy! I love King Charles Spaniels, they have such a sweet character.
Julianne was wearing a pair of American Eagle shorts with sandals, a sweater, a hat and sunglasses. I wonder how many celebs we will see this Summer wearing American Eagle shorts? Those and Levi's seem to be pretty popular!

LeAnn Rimes in M2F Brand Denim
LeAnn Rimes and her fiancee Eddie Cirbian were spotted making their way through LAX Airport in Los Angeles, California before flying out of the state together. LeAnn and Eddie seem so happy when they are out, it's always so nice to see!
LeAnn was wearing a brand that has been popping up here and there, M2F Brand Denim. She chose their skinnies in Starflower wash with a sheer blouse and tan wedges. We have already seen M2F on Whitney Port, Maria Menounos and others, I think they are going to be really popular! M2F Brand Denim is available at E Street Denim, Fred Segal, Planet Blue, National Jean Company, Sofia and other specialty boutiques nationwide!

Havasupai Tribe Win Nice Settlement From ASU In Scandalous Blood-Sample Case
Back in May 2004, we published a cover story entitled "Indian Givers," which broke the news about a remarkably devious study conducted by genetic researchers at Arizona State University.
The piece described how those researchers, led by Dr. Therese Markow, a nationally known genetics-research professor then at the university, had misled members of the tiny (about 650 members), poverty-stricken Havasupai tribe, who live on the floor of the western Grand Canyon (see photo), into providing blood samples in the early 1990s for what they said might help solve the tribe's diabetes epidemic.
Instead, the samples were used for other research, including attempts to prove that tribal ancestors had crossed the frozen Bering Straits into North America. As the story pointed out, that was akin to a scientist asking Christians from Nazareth to give blood for a diabetes study, then producing research to suggest that Jesus never existed.
That's because the Havasupai are raised to believe that the retreat of waters from a global flood had carved the Grand Canyon, and that the Canyon is the birthplace of the human race.

You can check out the story out here.
The situation raised myriad questions about the complex intersection of modern science and the cultures of indigenous peoples.
Dozens of tribal members filed lawsuits against the researchers, the Arizona Board of Regents, ASU president Michael Crow, and Arizona Attorney General Terry Goddard, claiming that "ASU's actions have invaded the personal privacy of Havasupai tribal members and the cultural and religious privacy of the Havasupai tribe."
A Maricopa County Superior Court dismissed the lawsuit, but the Arizona Court of Appeals later reinstated it, giving the tribe new legal life.
The case ended again in a settlement between the parties, and we're calling it a good win for the tribe against civil defendants who fought hard for years to keep it from happening:
The Board of Regents is to pay the tribe $700,000.
On top of that, the defendants are to fund a high school, a medical center, and scholarships for tribal members.
And, finally, ASU is to return the controversial blood samples to the lead plaintiff of the lawsuit, tribal member Carletta Tilousi, as well as the data that was gathered during the various studies done with the DNA material.
This may be the best thing to happen to the beleaguered tribe (floods devastated the Supai Village in 2008) in a long time -- and it was a long time coming.

UPGRADE: Please report anything out of the ordinary post-upgrade in this thread: http://www.orthodoxchristianity.net/forum/index.php/topic,66430.new.html
0 Members and 1 Guest are viewing this topic.
Hi there everyone. I've been interested in Orthodox Christianity recently. I currently have no faith, let's say I'm curious with doubts and see Orthodox Christianity as a possible path to spirituality. Anyway, here are my questions, I'd be really appreciative if someone could answer them for me:1) What happens to children who die at child birth and never got the opportunity to find out about how to go to heaven?2) Is accepting Evolution compatible to Orthodox Christianity? Can I accept that Evolution was used to get Humans to their present form?3) Can I also accept that tales that could not scientifically be true, like Noah's Ark, were say illustrations, and not meant to be literal?Thanks.

Surgery to completely remove the tumor is done whenever possible. If the tumor is very large, chemotherapy may be given first, to make the tumor smaller and decrease the amount of tissue that needs to be removed during surgery. The following types of surgery may be used:
- Resection: Surgery to remove tissue or part or all of an organ. If cancer is in the coccyx, the entire coccyx is removed.
- Tumor debulking: A surgical procedure in which as much of the tumor as possible is removed. Some tumors may not be able to be completely removed.
- Radical inguinal orchiectomy: Surgery to remove one or both testicles through an incision (cut) in the groin.
- Unilateral salpingo-oophorectomy: Surgery to remove one ovary and one fallopian tube.
Watchful waiting
Watchful waiting is closely monitoring a patient's condition without giving any treatment until symptoms appear or change. For childhood extracranial germ cell tumors, this includes physical exams, imaging tests, and tumor marker tests.
Chemotherapy is a cancer treatment that uses drugs to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. When chemotherapy is taken by mouth or injected into a vein or muscle, the drugs enter the bloodstream and can reach cancer cells throughout the body (systemic chemotherapy). When chemotherapy is placed directly into the cerebrospinal fluid, an organ, or a body cavity such as the abdomen, the drugs mainly affect cancer cells in those areas (regional chemotherapy). Combination chemotherapy is treatment using more than one anticancer drug. The way the chemotherapy is given depends on the type and stage of the cancer being treated.
New types of treatment are being tested in clinical trials.
Information about clinical trials is available from the NCI Web site.
Patients may want to think about taking part in a clinical trial.
For some patients, taking part in a clinical trial may be the best treatment choice. Clinical trials are part of the cancer research process. Clinical trials are done to find out if new cancer treatments are safe and effective or better than the standard treatment.

|"Salem: Queen of Thorns" #1 on sale May 21
Set in colonial America and illustrated by Wilfredo Torres, âSalemâ depicts the famous Witch Trials as orchestrated by a shadow organization -- and a bunch of gnarly spiders and tree demons. Now picture the colonial equivalent of Clint Eastwood kicking ass and taking names. That character is Elias Hooke, a hero BOOM! touts as in the tradition of Solomon Kane and Eastwoodâs Man With No Name. In âSalem,â Hooke stands for the innocent against a coven of thirteen witches, each with a wicked power based in an aspect of Christâs crucifixion.
âSalem: Queen of Thornsâ began when Morgan (screenwriter of âThe Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Driftâ and âWantedâ) and Walsh self-published a #0 issue for Comic-Con International in San Diego Comic. The storyline centered on actual witches living during the Salem Witch Trials caught the eye of BOOM! co-founder Ross Richie. The #0 issue was released for Free Comic Book Day, and the first âofficialâ issue is on sale May 21.
Letâs get started by talking about the storyline behind âSalem."
Chris Morgan: In the time of the Salem witch trials, we discover two important things. The trials are part of a conspiracy run by a "Shadow Church" -- and actual witches do exist. But they're not the people being persecuted. Our witch here, the Queen of Thorns, is a monstrous arboreal demon with a plot to conquer the world.
Kevin Walsh: And our hero, Elias Hooke, is an ex-member of the Shadow Church who's broken from his crooked comrades to hunt the Queen on his own terms. Along the way, he picks up two allies, a young clergyman who's had his faith challenged by the witch trials, and an accused witch who harbors a dark secret. In addition to the Queen and her demonic minions, these three have to contend with Hopkins, the sadist who runs the trials for the Shadow Church.

Is this a story you want to expand further after the initial miniseries wraps?
CM: Yeah.
KW: See, it's just that kind of brevity that we strive to find in our comic writing. That succinct terseness, evocative and visceral, generating an ineffable power.
CM: Thanks.
KW: Anyway, issue #1 touches on the basics of our witch mythology and the rest of the series expands it -- to the point where there are many possibilities that beyond Hooke and the Queen.
CM: Hooke has locked horns with one of the greatest forces of evil in the world. I donât want to spoil anythingâ¦
KW: Spoiler.
CM: â¦but letâs just say the world is bigger than he ever imagined. And darker. You donât just walk away from a confrontation with that kind of power unscathed. And without even greater enemies. This is definitely a continuing story.
What attracted you to the witch-hunting era in the first place and how did the story develop from there?
KW: I'll defer to the man who first came to me and said "So there's this guy who hunts witchesâ¦.â
CM: [laughs] Yeah, thatâs how most of my story ideas staâSo thereâs this guyâ¦â Sometimes for variety itâll be âSo thereâs this girlâ¦â But basically thatâs always my starting point. âSo thereâs this guyâ is the seed of the creative idea and it blooms into a different story with each word that you string along after.
Anyway, Iâve always been interested in witches. My family has some obscure lore that I donât quite buy, but I wish were true. My maternal grandmother always perpetuated this myth that, supposedly, my great-great-great-great-great grandmother -- maybe even an extra great or two in there -- was a woman accused of witchcraft in Springfield, Massachusetts, and my great-great-great, you get the idea, paternal grandfather was the judge who tried her case.
|Pages from "Salem: Queen of Thorns" #0
Whether itâs true or not doesnât matter. What does is that, because of that story, Iâve always been interested in that time period and environment. I think the idea originated with the thought of what would happen if one of these arrogant pricks trying these innocents of âwitchcraftâ were to run face to face with a real witch. Not some waifish housewife, but a #$%^ing enormous bog monster with vast power. And suddenly there was the kernel of an idea. I ran it by Kevin and he started riffing. I riffed back, and before we knew it, Hooke and his journey were born.
KW: I fondly remember the riff session that hit on the question of "What specifically does the Queen want?" And in between sips of a delicious Fat Burger shake, the answer popped in, fully formed, carrying with it a whole train of possibilities that turned into our witch mythology.
CM: That's what you're going to leave them with?
KW: Please. It's only a five-issue arc. It's not like I'm holding out on the ending of âLostâ here.
How much of the creatures, like those super cool spidery-demons, was you guys and how much was Wilfredo Torres?
KW: We've lived with these characters for a long time, so we had some clear ideas on the look we wanted for them. But we love when the artist finds that unexpected angle. There've been a lot of emails and tweaks and Wilfredo had an additional hurdle of trying to honor some of the designs in the preview book while still making the piece his own. I think he did a great job and now that we're on into Issue 1, he's got a chance to bring in some more original stuff and it's looking sharp.
CM: I nearly failed art class in high school. What Wilfredo does is magic to me. I have no idea how he takes a description, visualizes it, then gets his hand to translate it to the page. Itâs easy for Kevin and I to write âAnd a monstrous golem composed of iron hard wood and briars rises from the ground before Hooke.â But what you see is Wilfredoâs interpretation. His creation. The guyâs genius. Fred is the real deal. Creative. Collaborative. I mean, we built a world with him and his vision is on every page.
KW: I'm a sucker for his close-ups. We get these great expressive eyes and faces out of him. And his action looks dynamic, too. There are some panels of the Queen in issue #1 that I just want framed. One always comes to mind, of her leering demonic visage. The first time I saw it, I thought "Bingo. Thatâs the Queen."

You guys started out by self-publishing a #0 issue of âSalem.â What made you two feel the property was strong enough to merit self-publishing?
CM: The fact that it captured both our attentions so completely. We were absorbed with this dark hero Hooke cutting a swath of revenge across the semi-mythical landscape of colonial America in search of a fourteen-foot-tall elemental creature bent on the destruction of mankind. We had been discussing doing a comic together for some time, but when we couldnât stop talking and brainstorming about Hooke, we knew we had the story to take the chance on.
KW: For me, it's always been about our witch mythology. I love the potential it has to spawn stories that can be set almost anywhere. And I just wanted to see if anybody else felt the same way. So, it was worth it just to do the preview book because of the great feedback we got at the Con. Folks grabbed the book on Friday and came back Saturday to talk about it, which was amazing. The subsequent deal with BOOM! was really just the icing on the cake.
Tell us a little about the process of self-publication as you guys saw it.
KW: I actually think we might be the poster boys for how not to self-publish, given the time and funds and little bits of our soul that went into that process. There had to be an easier way, donât you think?
CM: Yeah, but in retrospect, I think the process is exactly the thing that kept us going. If somethingâs easy to do, itâs easy to put aside. But we committed to getting the #0 issue ready for the San Diego Comic-Con, and I think that sense of urgency and deadline kept us focused. Once we had the story in place and the notion to self-publish for the Con, we sat down and went through what exactly it would take and tried to schedule mini-deadlines for every piece: writing the #0 issue, hiring an artist, how long it would take to pencil, to ink, to hire a colorist, finding a print shop, etc.
KW: And the number of those elements we correctly projected was�
CM: Zero. But the drive to finish by the Con kept us scrambling and finding creative ways around problems.
KW: That, and a lot of help and advice from people like Ivan Brandon and Mike Hawthorne.
Was Wilfredo Torres the same artist you commissioned?
KW: Actually, we worked with Mike Hawthorne and Erik Swanson on the preview book; a great pair of guys who were a big help in all facets of the process. And having Hawthorne definitely helped raise the profile of our book at the Con.
|Pages from "Salem: Queen of Thorns" #0
How did you attract BOOM!âs attention in the first place?
KW: I think it was when Chris stripped down to his underwear, glued all those twigs to himself, and cavorted around the convention floor, shouting "I'm the Queen of Thorns! Fear me!" Sheer marketing genius and well worth the restraining order.
CM: You swore youâd never mention that again, Kevin! And you agreed those parents over-reacted.
KW: It's true.
How is it working with BOOM! as your publisher?
CM: BOOM!âs been awesome. Ross Richie picked up a copy of the #0 issue at the Con and gave us a call after. We had a great creative meeting with Ross and [co-founder] Andrew Cosby and knew these guys were genuinely passionate about the story. In my writing career, Iâve always gone with passion over everything else. Itâs a war to bring any creative endeavor to a production level, and people who care deeply about characters and story are the ones I always want in my corner. Ross, Andrew and Mark Waid are those kind of story-defenders.
KW: Thanks to BOOM!, we've got Mark frickin' Waid editing our first comic. 'Nuff said.
How much has the storyline or characters changed since that original #0 issue?
CM: Not much, really. After BOOM! picked up the book, we went back and took a harder look at our outline, which led to a few tweaks.
KW: I guess the biggest of those is the expanded roll of the Thrall, who makes his first appearance in issue #1. But, that being said, we're constantly adjusting as we go. The core plot is the same, but so far whenever we've gotten into the nuts and bolts of a particular issue, we've always come up with some new wrinkle that ripples down the line. Keeps things fresh. And my blood pressure high.
Alright, lightning round time. What was your first comic book?
KW: It was some issue of âThe Fantastic Fourâ in my doctor's waiting room. All I remember is that Doom had them all trapped in his castle in customized cells. You know, that one time. But the first book I ever owned and really collected was âThe Flash.â Barry Allen forever. All others are pretenders to the throne.
|Pages from "Salem: Queen of Thorns" #0
CM: First one I read was my brotherâs Marvel Special Edition of âStar Wars.â I snuck it out of his collection to read and I remember I ripped one of the pages. Snuck it back in without telling him. To this day I still donât think he knows. Yes, Iâm a bastard.
KW: And there's no chance at all that Terry will ever read this interview. Your brother is so going to kick your ass.
Has there ever been a comic that touched you or changed your life?
KW: Comics in general shaped my whole childhood, but a single issue or title? Can't do it. Maybe the triple whammy of âDark Knight Returns,â âWatchmenâ and âSandmanâ wowing me with the idea that comics were growing up with me.
CM: âPreacherâ blew me away. The characters, the dialogue. I mean, Arseface? Câmon! Garth Ennis expanded the universe of comics for me.
What is your biggest strength as a writer?
KW: Chris is always imagining the next cool thing and isn't afraid to lob a creative grenade into the process. Which sometimes makes me nuts, because it always happens just as we're putting the final touches on something. For my part, I think I do well trying to piece those various shiny bits back into the overall mosaic. So between the two of us, we generally end up with something totally different and better than what either of us initially pitched.
CM: Yep, to be a solid team writer, the biggest strength you can have is being able to listen to the note behind the note and give up on ideas that you think are completely awesome -- but just donât service the story as well as they should. I think Kevin and I are both strong in that regard.
Biggest weakness?
CM: Being paralyzed for an hour searching for the ârightâ word. I think it was Mark Twain who said something like âthe difference between the right word and the almost-right word is the difference between lightning and a lightning bug.â Or something like that. Either way, heâs right -- but damn him, thereâs also an argument for just getting the idea down and fixing it once youâve laid the story out. Intellectually, I know the argument but still get stuck in the time-consuming ârightâ word trap.
|"Salem: Queen of Thorns" #2
KW: Procrastination. Because truthfully, I hate writing. But I also hate myself for blowing off writing. And I really love having written something. Which all adds up to procrastinating like hell, but eventually getting it done. Which is why I love deadlines and collaboration. They force me to get stuff done.
If you could only write one comic for the rest of your career, what would it be?
KW: I wouldn't mind âSalem.â We've got a folder of ideas that keeps growing. Coming up with other âSalemâ side stories is actually our preferred form of procrastination next to âRock Bandâ and âHalo 3.â
CM: You didnât really expect us to say anything else, did you?
What is the best comic book movie ever made? And Chris, âWantedâ isnât out yet, so you canât pick it!
CM: Touch. Well-phrased. And the answer in that case is â300.â I loved the graphic novel and loved the film. Theyâre both tragic and inspirational at the same time. Amazing.
KW: âSpider-Man 2â and âBatman Beginsâ are both the best. Hands down. If anyone wants to fight about it, we can step outside.
What is your weirdest convention experience?
CM: Probably trying to convince my then-three-year-old daughter to take a picture with a Tusken Raider. Iâm sitting there going, âNo, honey, heâs not scary. Heâs a nice Tusken Raider.â Then, after getting the photo realizing, âOh my god, Iâm that father.â
KW: Having gone for many, many years as a fan, the whole experience of having a table for the âSalemâ preview book was a surreal through-the-looking-glass weekend. Also, the time I was at a Dragon-Con in Atlanta as a teen and ended up in an elevator with Stan Lee. The coolest 22 floors of my life.
If you could only be remembered for one thing in your career, what would it be?
KW: "That âSalemâ guy" would be fine with me.
CM: Saving the world from alien overlords. For reals.

"Suicide Squad" B-Roll Footage Reveals Harley Quinn's Classic Jester Costume
Film, Comic Books
It turns out that Marvel's dearly departed Hercules may have even more in common with the mythological figure on which he's based than we previously thought.
The boisterous demigod-turned-superhero, who made his formal Marvel Universe debut in 1965, seemingly died in February's Incredible Hercules #141 during the finale of "Assault on New Olympus." All that's left for his friends and colleagues to do is mourn — and share stories about the fallen Prince of Power.
And, boy, do they ever share. In Hercules: Fall of an Avenger #1, out this week, Namora encourages those women who had been intimate with the bed-hopping Lion of Olympus to relate their memories. (Alfyse, queen of the dark elves of Svartalfheim, apparently works blue, if you'll forgive the pun.)
The surprise occurs when Snowbird eyes the crowd suspiciously and says, "Now come. I know there are others in the crowd who should join us … don't be shy" — causing an antsy Northstar to reply, "Is that the time? Gotta go!" before, well, going (at super-speed, naturally). You know, Northstar, the highest-profile gay character in the Marvel Universe.
The exchange is brief, casual and played for laughs, but it's obvious what writers Greg Pak and Fred Van Lente are asserting — that the Marvel Hercules, like the Greek Herakles, was fond of women and young men. In case it's somehow not obvious, Van Lente spells it out this morning on Twitter: "Clearly, Hercules and Northstar had a 'team-up'."
That presumably places Jean-Paul Beaubier on a long, long list of Hercules' male conquests from classical mythology that includes such figures as Abderus, Elacatas, Iolaos and Iphitus.
Just don't tell Kyle.
(via scans_daily, Rich Lovatt)
Nitpick: That's Namora, not Namorita.
When I first read it, I thought Snowbird was suggesting that both Namor and Northstar had spent time with Hercules. But now I see she was referring just to Northstar and Namor is just confused by the suggestion.
Thanks, I always confuse the two.
This delighted the hell out of me when I read it yesterday. I like to think he bedded a long trail of dudes throughout the Marvel Universe, because why not?
It's not the first inference along these lines, either. Incredible Hercules was littered with them.
Namor's slack jawed reaction to Alfyse's off panel monologue about Herc and the Elvish Tickler was priceless, and Thor's lifted eyebrow as nice as well, so much fun stuff in this issue.
Can't wait for part II and Prince of Power.
when i first read the pannel and saw snow birds eyes seem to be a little evil as she looked at Namor and north star. it hit me that Maybe Hercules decided to experiment and since Namor has that wtf look of confusion and north star is running away means only one thing North star got some loving of a god. though marvel will never show the thing full pannel. just flash back.
DMC loses.
…………………………………………Well, many Greek men fought beside and slept wit men. Including Alexander the UnGreat.
What's with everyone wanting herc to be gay??? WHY does he have to ne gay??? Not looking for an argument cause to each his own, but I always envisioned him as being a ladies man…keep it that way please. Go have your fun w/ northstar and leave the herc alone!!!
"What's with everyone wanting herc to be gay???"
He is Bissexual according to greek mythologie so I think people just want him to be himself!

Having said that there must be a way to copy data into an existing form with a single entry, i.e. if there are a number of employees with recurring training information set in a spread sheet it should be possible to copy that info into an existing form.
I understand that cells are identified by an alpha and numerical number A1, what I want to do is simply enter the number which identifies the line to the employee and have the fields on the form sheet auto populate. The formulas within the form sheet are written with the alpha portion of the applicable cell.
What I want to do is simply enter a number that corresponds with an employees line of data and it populates all areas of the form with a single entry to ease the repetition of filling out numerous forms manually.

Although perhaps beautiful to look at, there are fewer sights more pitiful than a caged tiger or an eagle with its wings clipped.
Likewise, a domesticated gospel serves little more purpose than a relic to be observed. How is the gospel being domesticated? you ask. Consider these factors:
These emerging trends threaten to rub the rough edges off the divisive (but life-giving) message that should be the core of our ministries.
In an effort to make the gospel more palatable, some of us have avoided topics such as sin, hell and the second coming, downplaying the controversial and mysterious nature of the God we serve.
In this issue of Ministries Today, we address several of these difficult topics in hopes that you will be challenged to persevere in presenting an authentic--and relevant--gospel in an increasingly hostile environment:
You on the frontlines of ministry are in our prayers--that God will strengthen and empower you for another year of Spirit-led service in His kingdom.
When you're tempted to adopt a safer, domesticated Christianity, may you choose a more extreme--and biblical--version of the gospel. And may you always experience a little healthy discomfort as you keep sight of a fiery hell, a bloody cross and the One "who was, and is and is coming" (Rev. 4:8, CEV).

The open-label trials evaluated desipramine,[12] nortriptyline,[13] and bupropion sustained release.[14][Level of evidence: II] The studies included patients experiencing depressive symptoms after the deaths of their loved ones. The depressive symptoms were evaluated using the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HDRS). All studies evaluated intensity of grief using select grief assessment questionnaires.
Data from these studies suggest that antidepressants are well tolerated and improve symptoms of depression. Data also suggest that the intensity of grief improved but that the improvement was consistently less in comparison with the symptoms of depression. Limitations of these studies include open-label treatment and small sample sizes.
The only randomized controlled study conducted to date [15][Level of evidence: I] compared nortriptyline with placebo for the treatment of bereavement-related major depressive episodes. Nortriptyline was also compared with two other treatments, one combining nortriptyline with IPT and the other combining placebo with IPT. Eighty subjects, aged 50 years or older, were randomly assigned to one of the four treatment groups: nortriptyline (n = 25), placebo (n = 22), nortriptyline plus IPT (n = 16), and placebo plus IPT (n = 17).
The 17-item HDRS was used to assess depressive symptoms. Remission was defined as a score of 7 or lower for 3 consecutive weeks. The remission rates for the four groups were as follows: nortriptyline alone, 56%; placebo alone, 45%; nortriptyline plus IPT, 69%; placebo plus IPT, 29%. Nortriptyline was superior to placebo in achieving remission (P < .03).[15]
The combination of nortriptyline with IPT was associated with the highest remission rate and highest rate of treatment completion. The study did not show a difference between IPT and placebo, possibly owing to specific aspects of the study design, including short duration of IPT (mean no. of days, 49.5) and small sample size.[15] The high remission rate with placebo was another important limitation of the study. Consistent with previous open-label studies and for all four groups, improvement in grief intensity was less than improvement in depressive symptoms.
In summary, all of the antidepressant studies conducted to date suggest that the magnitude of reduction and rate of improvement in grief symptoms are slower than the decrease in magnitude and rate of improvement in depressive symptoms. One group of researchers [15] provides possible explanations for this phenomenon, arguing that depressive symptoms may be more responsive to pharmacological intervention because they are directly related to biological dysregulation and neurochemical changes. The other possibility is that the persistence of grief without depressive symptoms is not pathological-it might be a normal and necessary consequence of the bereavement process.

This time, I really mean it, as soon as it goes up to my minimum selling price (86.00 at this point), I'm selling this and good riddens. On to other rising stock shares. Yes, I really mean it this time. Can you believe I waited six months to get out of Oxy to break even and I failed! *****Screaming at Myself in the Mirror***** What a massive FLUNK! If anyone has any advice or feedback as to where the stock is heading, please, please, help! I hate waiting for Oxy to come up. It's so sloooooooooow to go up. So fassssssst to go down.
Sentiment: Hold
i would definitely hold, i understand your frustration, but at least they seem to take care of their shareholders through dividend increases.
i have held another oil/energy DOG - devon, and that stock's paltry dividend is barely half that of oxy's.
Sentiment: Buy
Thank you. I've calmed myself down now. It needs to go up another 1.45 just to break even. Horrible game I've gotten myself into, emotionally "married" to the stock and all. Just have to form some calluses!
sell & buy XOM or CVX, only 2 buys in energy that are not volatile
I've posted some news articles that are more positive about Oxy's future stock price, including how Billionaire T. Boone Pickens bought over 60k shares as a recent new position. Also, Chairman Irani's retirement could mean that Oxy can sell-off it's risky foreign assets to focus on U.S. oil production. All this can raise the valuation of the company if you can hang in there.
Thanks for the response. I realize what might have happened on Friday with the news about Chazen's replacement. If they get an exciting CEO who's made money for companies before, this stock has a chance of rising. I'm also looking at Helium. It's going to go sky-high when the supplies run out.

8. CradleThis position, that's perfect in a chair, lets your girl straddle you and ride you, but remain chest-to-chest. It's still raw, but it's kind of sweet too.
What makes it hot for her: "This is one of the most intimate positions for both men and women. They can coordinate their breathing so it is synch with each other and few things are more intimate than that," says Dr. Sonjia. "They can also look into each other's eyes and kiss deeply during sex, which will inspire them to hug each other closer and feel as if they're fused into each other."
What makes it hot for him: "In this position, you have to focus more on grinding rather than thrusting, and the different stimulation can be an exciting change for both sexes," says Marin. "It's a great position for men to take a bit of a break and help prolong their orgasm. Or the clitoris can get stimulated by grinding up against the man's skin."

Syria's President Bashar al-Assad made a rare public visit on Wednesday to an electrical plant in central Damascus to mark Labour Day, the presidency's official Facebook page said.
"President Assad is now visiting the Umayyad electrical plant in Tishreen Garden in Damascus and congratulates its workers and Syria's workers on their holiday," the Facebook page said.
It published a picture of the president addressing a crowd of workers, some of them wearing or holding hard hats.
Assad, whose government is battling an uprising now in its third year, rarely appears in public.
His last reported public visit was to an educational centre in the capital on March 20, and he had not been seen publicly before that since January 24th, when he attended prayers at a mosque in a northern district of Damascus.
Electricity production has fallen by nearly half since the beginning of the conflict in Syria in March 2011 because of insecurity on the country's roads has led to shortages of the fuel that powers electricity plants.

It's no mystery that 'Sherlock Holmes' hits DVD
Published: Friday, April 2, 2010 at 3:00 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, March 30, 2010 at 8:48 a.m.
In Guy Ritchie's "Sherlock Holmes," the famous detective still has brains but adds brawn, catlike reflexes and a bit of a penchant for violence.
Played with dash by Robert Downey Jr., Holmes is joined by an equally smart bruiser in Jude Law's Dr. Watson, an Anglo-Afghan war veteran (yes, Britain fought in Afghanistan in the late 1800s). The two longtime friends make an odd couple, trading verbal jabs but differing on women.
Watson's engagement to a pretty woman named Mary (Kelly Reilly) has Holmes a bit jealous and worried he'll lose his mate. But the sleuth is aroused by Rachel McAdams' beautiful thief, Irene Adler, a minor character in the Arthur Conan Doyle books. There isn't much romance — when is there in a Holmes mystery? — but there are a lot of looks and innuendos.
But "Sherlock Holmes" does not slow down for much. You can count on Ritchie for action, and in his fractured, hyperkinetic "Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels" style, he amusingly diagrams Holmes' brawls before he delivers the punches and kicks to his adversaries. There is also a cool visual style as the Baker Street buddies rush around Victorian London to solve the mystery.
Yes, there is a mystery amid the fights and explosions, involving an evil aristocrat (Mark Strong), who after being caught by Holmes has been executed, yet somehow returns from the dead to set into motion an ancient secret society intent on taking over England. If you're wondering where Holmes' archenemy Professor Moriarty is, this "Sherlock Holmes" has sequel written all over it.
In "An Education," Oscar nominee Carey Mulligan plays a 16-year-old London suburban schoolgirl in 1961. Jenny has aspirations for Oxford, but Latin is a problem. She goes to a strict private school, and her anxious parents (Cara Seymour and Alfred Molina) have kept her on the straight and narrow.
But Jenny loves French pop records and has a teenage dream of romance. One day while carrying her cello home from school in the pouring rain, a suave stranger named David (Peter Sarsgaard) offers to give her instrument — not her — a lift. It's not innocent. Soon their little encounter, in which they talk about Elgar, turns into attending classical concerts and art auctions, and going for drinks at clubs and on trips out of town.
The new world that David has introduced her to, which includes his cool friends, Danny and Helen (Dominic Cooper and Rosamund Pike), begins to make her question the academic life she's headed for. Meanwhile, his sophistication has also won over her parents. By then "An Education" — based on a memoir by the British journalist Lynn Barber — is headed for tricky territory, but director Lone Scherfig and screenwriter Nick Hornby never overplay the situation.
Mulligan is irresistible. It's easy to fall into Jenny's story because of her.
Sarsgaard manages to seem both unctuous and not entirely unsympathetic. All of the supporting roles are sharply drawn and played, including Olivia Williams as a kindly teacher and Emma Thompson as the disapproving headmistress.
"An Education" would be a different story if it were set today rather than 1961, but that's part of the film's charm, knowing the changes that were coming in the decade.
Robin Williams' HBO special, "Weapons of Self Destruction," his first solo special on the network in seven years, shows that the comedian still has a manic sense of humor.
It's not up to his vintage stuff but there are enough laughs.
It says something (not good) about the state of foreign film distribution in the United States that the Portuguese director Pedro Costa has become one of the most exalted figures in world cinema without having a single one of his creations open in a commercial theater here. Instead his work has been disseminated through not-for-profit institutions like Anthology Film Archives (which presented a Costa retrospective in 2007) and the New York Film Festival (which showed his newest film, "Ne Change Rien," a documentary about the French actress and singer Jeanne Balibar, in the fall).
Which makes it all the more remarkable that the Criterion Collection is releasing "Letters From Fontainhas," a generously appointed boxed set that contains Costa's trilogy filmed in the Fontainhas district of Lisbon — "Ossos" (1997), "In Vanda's Room" (2000) and "Colossal Youth" (2006) — as well as two of his short films, a feature-length documentary on his work and a huge repository of written and audio-visual commentary from an international assembly of artists and scholars.
A company whose core business is the distribution of imported classics by the likes of Carl Theodor Dreyer, Michelangelo Antonioni and Jean-Luc Godard, Criterion is now taking the necessary next step of bringing difficult contemporary artists directly to its clientele, bypassing a contemporary art house scene that has become depressingly conservative. The route may be risky, but ultimately it makes good business sense: Pedro Costa can't compete with "Slumdog Millionaire" at the multiplex, but 30 years from now, people will still be watching his work.
Like several of today's most interesting filmmakers — China's Jia Zhang-ke ("Still Life"), Argentina's Lisandro Alonso ("Los Muertos"), Sweden's Roy Andersson ("You, the Living") — Costa works in a concentrated, long-take style. It's a method that seems to have arisen as a counterbalance to that hyperkinetic editing that dominates Hollywood, in which a series of short, tight shots is used to focus the audience's attention on plot details (and to provide an ostensibly pleasurable retinal buzz).
Rather than breaking a scene down into analytical fragments, Costa keeps his camera at a certain distance, placing his performers within careful, classically balanced compositions that emphasize the characters' relationships to one another and the specific world that contains them. Shots are held for minutes at a time, as Costa observes the human spectacle unfolding before him.
Fontainhas is, or was, a Lisbon neighborhood that looks more like a medieval village than a modern urban center, a honeycomb of tiny, cell-like dwellings linked by narrow passageways. Abandoned by tourists and most city services, it is home to a mixed population of immigrants from the islands of Cape Verde, a former Portuguese colony off the west coast of Africa, and indigenous outcasts and drug addicts. A richly cinematic space, full of mystery and visual interest, Fontainhas comes to resemble a series of interconnecting stages, each containing a drama of its own.
Those dramas are a mix of the fictional and the real, often drawn from the lives of the nonprofessional actors who play them out. Though no traditional narrative with a beginning, middle and end emerges from the interactions Costa observes, each film has a distinct emotional center. In "Ossos" a troubled teenage girl repeatedly tries to kill herself and her newborn baby; in "In Vanda's Room" a young woman provides a place of refuge and support to her friends and family, despite her addiction to smoking heroin; in "Colossal Youth" a middle-aged Cape Verdean, thrown out of his house by his wife, looks for a new place to settle.
Fontainhas changes over the course of the three films, as does Costa's way of looking at it. In the first film, shot in 35 millimeter by Emmanuel Machuel (who photographed Robert Bresson's 1983 film "L'Argent"), the neighborhood seems largely intact and is woven into the larger fabric of the city; the visual emphasis is on bright, vivid colors and harmonious widescreen compositions.
By the time of "Vanda's Room," three years later, the jackhammers and backhoes of urban renewal can be heard gnawing away off screen, and the visual design turns to dark interiors illuminated by dramatic shafts of light, shot by Costa himself, operating a digital video camera. "Colossal Youth" finds the area almost depopulated, most of its residents having moved to antiseptic housing developments, the few remaining holdouts living as squatters. The images now are almost drained of color, and Costa frames his protagonist (both the actor and the character are simply called "Ventura") against harshly geometrical backgrounds that might have come out of Fritz Lang's "Metropolis."
A recurring figure in all three films is Vanda (Vanda Duarte), who first appears in "Ossos" as the suicidal girl's responsible, hardworking best friend. In "Vanda's Room" she has become a full-time addict, her body repeatedly convulsed by a harrowing cough. In "Colossal Youth" she is on methadone and almost unrecognizable, a suddenly middle-aged women with a child and husband, living in a featureless new apartment where she stares into a television set as she once might have looked into a neighbor's window.
This physical evidence of time's passing gives Costa's work a powerful sense of reality. Yet at heart his is a cinema of stylization and studied enigma, often created through the deliberate suppression of detail. Why are drugs as conspicuously absent from "Ossos" as they are omnipresent in "Vanda's Room"? Can all the characters in "Colossal Youth" who call Ventura "father" actually be his children? These and many other questions remain unanswered, part of Costa's technique of leaving some rooms in his house of fiction locked and inaccessible. This is challenging work that demands and rewards repeated viewings — the art-house classics of tomorrow, today.

All Rise...
Judge Ryan Keefer doesn't believe what he just saw!!!
The Charge
"That was the most dramatic home run I've ever seen. The man was hobbling around here all day like a one-legged steer, and he hits it out. He's so strong that he hit it out with one hand."—Steve Sax
The Case
Vin Scully described the season where the Los Angeles Dodgers beat the Oakland A's in the World Series as follows: "In a year that has been so improbable, the impossible has happened." The A's assuming the throne as World Series Champions was to be a foregone conclusion. With mammoth rookies Jose Canseco and Mark McGwire, the veteran leadership of Dave Parker and Dave Stewart, the team steamrolled over the competition. In fact, Canseco and McGwire were so large that many people came early to the ballparks to watch them take batting practice and launch baseballs into the stratosphere. They did it during the games as well, and fans would watch with awe and wonder at the spectacle of their batting accomplishments. During the regular season, the A's won 104 games, and Canseco became the first to hit 40 home runs and steal 40 bases, and wound up hitting 42 home runs and driving in 124 baserunners and winning the American League's Most Valuable Player award, and sweeping the Boston Red Sox en route to the World Series against the Dodgers.
On a tangent here for a second, boy oh boy, weren't we all a little bit naïve then, huh? The world got to be a little more darker since then for baseball, culminating with the Mitchell Report, and Canseco and McGwire, well, let's just say one of them is a little more willing to talk about the past than the other. Who would ever have thought a guy who appeared on a reality show with Flavor Flav would seem to be prophetic of the current look at steroids in baseball. People scoffed, but now seem to begrudgingly give a lot of credit to him. Upon further review, it also seems to make the Dodgers and Cincinnati Reds wins over the A's in World Series play a little bit more poetic, doesn't it? The whole idea of working hard and playing fundamental baseball prevailed over strength and power; that's the impression I'm left with now, two decades after the Dodgers' improbable win.
Editor's Note: We now return you to our regularly scheduled programming…
The Los Angeles Dodgers weren't overly extraordinary by any stretch of the imagination. In fact, they weren't considered to be the best team in the National League. That honor would go to the New York Mets, who finished 1988 with a better regular season record and the presumptive Most Valuable Player in Darryl Strawberry, generator of 39 home runs and 101 runs batted in. Surprisingly though, Kirk Gibson, who hit fifteen fewer homers and twenty five fewer RBIs received that honor. The Dodgers did have Orel Hershiser, who broke the Major League record for consecutive scoreless innings with 59. That's six straight games, assuming "The Bulldog" pitched all nine innings in a game. So riding the wave of Hershiser, the Dodgers took the Mets on in the 1987 League Championship Series and beat the Mets in a decisive seventh game.
The 1988 series is one for that one magical event. You know the one, Gibson's home run in Game 1 of the Series. Gibson was battling a sprained ligament in his right knee and a pulled hamstring in his left leg, and walking around as gingerly as one could imagine. To paraphrase Bob Costas' appearance on Ken Burns' Baseball miniseries, Gibson's appearance in the dugout was straight out of Roy Hobbs in The Natural, right down to the comment that Gibson had "one good swing in him" before going to bat. He was facing Dennis Eckersley, A's relief pitcher who had been as tough to hit as any pitcher that season. He pitched in relief, meaning he only had to face one or two batters at a time, and walked the equivalent of one batter a game. Gibson catches a break, and muscles a pitch over the right field wall in the bottom of the ninth to earn the win. So many things about the events still resonate to this day; Vin Scully's call of the homer, the brake lights of a car leaving the park that can be visible from the field, Gibson's limping around the diamond, they're all transcendant moments. Oakland never stood a chance after that. Gibson's pinch hit home run was his only at-bat in the Series, what else did they need him to do? Momentum is a wonderful thing when it comes to sports and yes, the impossible can happen, especially when the year has been improbable.
I'm no dummy, this boxed set of discs coincides not only with the twentieth anniversary (has it been that long?) since the Dodgers' improbable win, but also with the Dodgers' fiftieth year of playing in Los Angeles. It includes interview footage with the participants after the games and also includes moments from the '88 season, like Hershiser's breaking of the scoreless innings record and additional looks at "the homer." While the video quality appears to be straight from the original tapes and not in the best of shape presentation wise, this set is worth owning for any Dodger fan out there.
Give us your feedback!

He said that Russ wanted a couple days to sit back and think about it before making the decision. As much as I'd love to have Russ back next year, this may be his time to make the jump if he is going to. With how small he is, you have to imagine that there is a ceiling at where he can possibly be drafted. An early second round pick is nothing to be ashamed of but its hard to see an NBA team taking a stretch with a first round pick on him. Obviously we know that he can play but the scouts don't sit and watch all of his games like us fans do. The scouts make decisions based on the frame of the player and Russ simply doesn't have the build of the guys they look for. And that doesn't mean that Russ wont be a success in the NBA because we all have seen how he can score n0 matter who is guarding him. It just means that from a scouts perspective he may be vastly overlooked and put to the side for later. A perfect example of this is Michael Carter-Williams, there is no way that you can tell me that as an overall basketball player Russ Smith didn't outplay him when Syracuse and Louisville played. But MCW's body frame is something that NBA teams want so he is a first round draft pick while Russ is in the second round. I cannot imagine what Russ Smith is going through right now making this decision. For me, as long as Russ makes the right decision for himself I will be happy.
