Review for Women of Wind Energy, Brooklyn, NY, USA
I have been involved with WoWE since the very first luncheon in 2005, and now even more active than ever at both the National and Chicago Chapter levels. WoWE combines two of my most passionate interests, increasing the awareness of the great benefits of wind energy as well as growing the presence of women in leadership positions.

1. Chuunibyou Demo Koi ga Shitai! REN, episodes 7-12 (Good) - It rebounded nicely after a pretty uneventful first half. When this second season was announced I considered it unnecessary because the first season ended in a very high note and was very satisfactory. Thankfully, this second season was not a waste of time because it actually did some nice things. Chuunibyou REN is ultimately my favorite show from this season because of my love of the franchise, and the fact that Winter 2014 was not very strong.
2. Noragami, episodes 7-12 (Good) - This is the only series that premiered in Winter that I looked forward to a new episode each week. I like the premise because it is appealing with its aura of mystery and darkness. The characters were amusing but also had the potential of being more complex and deeper. I am content with what this season of Noragami offered, but I would like to see more anime of it in the near future.
3. Kill la Kill, episodes 19-24 (Very good) - The upward momentum continued, and Kill la Kill ended up being a very satisfying anime. I do not have much else to say other than that I had a blast watching this very entertaining work. Despite not being as strong in terms of story and characterization, I found myself feeling a lot of sympathy for the good guys and rooting for them.
4. Nagi no Asukara, episodes 20-26 (Very good) - The producers took a bit of a roundabout approach to conclude this anime, but I am pleased with how it turned out. This pretty-looking anime started in a very poignant fashion and maintained a very positive momentum all the way to the last third. I thought that Nagi no Asukara had the potential to be an excellent work, but I enjoyed most of it despite losing some momentum towards the end.
5. Strike the Blood, episodes 19-24 (So-so) - I continued to like my clear guilty pleasure of 2013; I dig the cliche set up and its cliche characters. Like I have said before, I never imagined how much I was going to like Strike the Blood. I am giving this series a low rating because it is unoriginal, misogynistic and silly, but it is very re-watchable. I hope it is licensed for a physical release in North America soon.
6. Wake Up, Girls!, episodes 7-12 (Decent) - My other surprise of the season continued to be a pleasant experience. I enjoyed a lot watching seven teen girls struggling to accomplish their dreams and becoming friends. I would not mind seeing another season of Wake Up, Girls!; hopefully the animation would be better. I know this anime is about singing idols, but I found plenty of honesty and freshness in it.
7. Magi, episodes 20-25 (Decent) - Once this series focused on a single arc for more than two episodes, and the action escalated, it improved a lot. Like the first season, Magi: The Kingdom of Magic is frustrating to watch. Frequent weak and uneven episodes continued to hurt what seems like an appealing anime franchise. Although, the last episodes of season two were very strong.
8. Silver Spoon, episodes 7-11 (Decent) - My disappointment of the season improved in the last episodes, but it rarely had the charm, story building and character development present in the first season.
Perhaps another season could fix the things that season two did wrong, but I doubt more Silver Spoon anime will be made.
9. Golden Time, episodes 19-24 (Decent) - This series finally ended, leaving me with the feeling that it could have been better. The premise of Golden Time was interesting from the beginning, but a third or so of series was plagued by unimaginative writing. It is definitely a nice drama and romantic comedy, but it did not leave a memorable impression. I will keep looking for a good romantic dramas/comedies in the world of anime.
10. Samurai Flamenco, episodes 18-22 (So-so) - The chaotic and nonsensical plot in this anime finally ended in this last quarter, and things returned to the relative normalcy of the first quarter of the series. The thing is that it was a little too late to make the inventive, initial premise appealing again. I will remember Samurai Flamenco as an anime series that had a chance to do something really cool, but the creators decided to go nuts and go in a very wrong direction.
11. Ace of Diamond, episodes 20-25 (So-so) - I continued to be dissatisfied with this series because the story and characterization have pretty much stopped developing. This should not be surprising because sports anime are monotonous by nature. I rather see Ace of Diamond end this season, but it is continuing into Spring. I suppose I will keep following this anime and hope that it can recapture some of the positive
qualities the first 12 episodes had.

Slowly starting to adjust
Ami Travel Blog› entry 3 of 32 › view all entries
My internet is still not hooked up; this has confirmed my theory that I am indeed addicted to the internet. So now, my addictions consist of peanut butter, chocolate, and the internet.
Today I walked around Ami for about a half hour and I was surprised to find that at 9:00 am nothing was open.
Culture shock of the Day: Things in Japan do not open until 10:00 am (the giant supermarket closes at midnight) and banks close at 3:00 pm (I don't know what time the banks open).
I ate some Japanese Curry yesterday and it had a bit of a bite to it. Everyone seemed surprised because normally Japanese Food isn't too spicy. The teachers are all really welcoming and I enjoy hanging around them.
I had `training` yesterday. It was more of a talk than anything else was on what one will find in a Japanese classroom. It helped to calm my nerves but I am still not to sure on the teaching part. I guess that during the first two weeks of September, there is a Sports Festival and most of the time is spent practicing for that so not many classes are taught. I am looking forward to that because it will ease me into the process and I can get to know the English teachers.
John (from Texas) came yesterday and went through training with me. He has taught before (point for him) but has no Japanese (Point for me). We are planning to take Friday classes together. Friday Classes are taught in the Yomo International Office. I might be moved up to a higher Japanese class because of my time in Beloit, I am not sure on this because I don't know if I know that much Kanji and if the vocabulary I have is correct for the class. In October, the community center offers free Japanese Classes on Sundays so if I am not too busy with the teaching I will probably sit in on those also.
The plans for today are attempt shopping on my own (I need milk and bread and food other than noodles in general) and dust my apartment. I want to keep it looking nice and clean because it was new when I moved it. Oh, I have Japanese MTV and a Japanese Cartoon Channel so I watched Hello Kitty and some Japanese Music videos today.

A large slab of shares in Virgin Australia changed hands on Tuesday, in the airline's biggest day of trading since Air New Zealand became the largest shareholder last month.
The buyer was unknown but it comes just weeks after Middle East airline Etihad gained approval from the Foreign Investment Review Board to increase its stake in Virgin from 10 per cent to 19.9 per cent.
Virgin's largest shareholders Air New Zealand and Singapore Airlines confirmed they were not buyers of the stock. Etihad could not respond to immediate inquiries.
The single parcel of 13.5 million shares sold for 44.5¢ apiece, a total of almost $7 million. It amounted to less than 1 per cent of Virgin's issued capital.
Air New Zealand wants to boost its stake from 23 per cent to 26 per cent but still needs approval from the review board to do so.
Singapore Airlines became Virgin's second largest shareholder several months ago after buying half of Richard Branson's holdings.
It comes as Qantas keeps funnelling money into the coffers of state and territories rather than Tourism Australia.

Constructed with heavy-duty nylon and metal zippers, this backdrop bag is designed to protect your backdrops from the elements throughout the years.
Designed with a durable wrapping handle, this storage unit is easy to carry around from shoot to shoot.
I purchased this to hold my backdrop poles (6) that are 24" each. Three of the poles attach together to make a 6' pole. The bag seems very durable for my needs. My old bag is over 15 years old that was finally thread bare. This new bag I think will outlive me. Glad I found it.

Saab owners in the U.S. and Canada don't have to worry anymore about the warranty service coverage for their vehicles since an agreement has been entered between General Motors and Saab Automobile Parts North America. In a joint statement, the companies said that under the agreement, SPNA will offer warranty administration and related services for 2009 vehicles and prior Saab vehicles that continue to be covered under the limited warranty of GM.
In the statement, Tim Colbeck, CEO of Saab Automobile Parts North America, said that the deal with General Motors is a crucial step in the support for Saab owners located in North America and making sure that they get access to Saab Genuine Parts, service programs and technical support for the future years.
The companies said that Saab will deliver the services via its network of warranty service providers. They also said that the transition of warranty services from GM to SPNA started on Dec. 17. Those that are covered under the deal could bring their Saab vehicles to get worked on at any of SPNA's 179 warranty service providers. GM spokeswoman Pamela Flores said the company wants to prove how committed it is to its customers, who should have access to these services in a seamless manner.
In addition, the companies agreed to set up a North America Customer Assistance Center and a Technical Assistance Center. SPNA experts will manage this technical center to help warranty service providers with technical matters.
Earlier this month, the Swedish National Debt Office became the new owner of Saab Automobile Parts AB, a unit of Saab. In a Dec. 5 statement, Bo Lundgren, chief of the National Debt Office, said that Saab Automobile Parts is an independent and solid company that presently offers Swedish spare parts for Saab passenger cars. He also said that the Swedish government will be a stable owner that seeks to advance the development of this company further.

Dorset And Somerset Air Ambulance Flies 10,000th Mission
9:35am 30th May 2014
Dorset and Somerset Air Ambulance has flown its record breaking 10,000th mission.
The charity helicopter airlifted a 24-year-old woman who'd suffered a riding accident in Shaftesbury to Dorset County Hospital yesterday afternoon.
The patient, Carissa Ealson (24) was taking part in a cross country horse riding event with her youngest sister Victoria when she suffered a fall. She was treated at the scene before being airlifted at 14.25 pm, arriving at Dorset County Hospital in Dorchester at 14.48 pm.
After arriving at hospital, Carissa underwent further tests and x-rays. Fortunately the results showed that she had not broken any bones and did not suffer any other serious injuries to her back, neck or hips and was discharged from hospital later in the day.
Speaking on behalf of her sister, Stacey Ealson called the Charity with an update and said, "We are really grateful to the Air Ambulance for all their help and are so pleased that Carissa is going to be OK. She has now left hospital with some pain relief medication and hopefully will feel better soon."
Last year alone the Air Ambulance attended 238 incidents in Dorset a large proportion of which were people injured in car accidents.
One of the patients was Val Hayes from Dorchester who suffered life-threatening injuries after an incident involving a tractor. Whilst in fields she hit some bumpy ground and fell off the tractor which subsequently drove over her. She broke all her ribs apart from three, broke her sternum and collarbone, lacerated her liver, fractured her pelvis and broke both her right leg and ankle. Val remembers nothing until she awoke in Southampton General Hospital a week later. She spent nearly four weeks in Southampton before being transferred to Dorset County Hospital in Dorchester where she could be nearer to home. Val is now back riding her horses and walking her dogs.
"Words cannot describe how grateful I am to the crew of the Air Ambulance and the ICU staff at hospital. The prompt attention I received really did save my life," she said.
Dorset and Somerset Air Ambulance has attended 10,000 incidents since its launch in March 2000, saving many lives and aiding recovery with outstanding immediate care and rapid delivery to the hospital best suited to meet the patient's needs.

Couldn't agree more buffalo008!
@dangyankee yes, don is the hands behind almost everything worn by dancers (but unfortunately not the creativity and brains behind it anymore). It is also true that he doesn't speak, and I have seen him railroaded by Jill and Patty on many occasions. On the only occasions when I heard him speak more than a couple of words, and only when drinking, he had only a few sharp critiscisms of Jill and Patty. I believe that he could be a great asset to the ballet with his experience and creativity, but that he was stifled early on and has given up trying to assert himself against tyrannical personalities.
Thank you David for having the courage to say what we have all known. If history serves as an example Jill will probably try to sue us all for slander in some sad attempt to blame someone else.
Just like she told me that it was the fault of the board and " coward's," as she put it, when we were told in 2012 that we wouldn't be payed for our full contract.
It's never her fault
You are right. The debt, however, was not made clear (at least not in its entirety) to the previous board. As a former employee I have direct experience with the way the artistic staff lied, manipulated, and hid the truth of what was happening until they were forced to come forward.
It saddens me that the dancers, many my friends, are being asked to perform for free, and many of them will. Not because they want to, but because if they do not they will loose their positions and become another dancer that Jill Eathorne Bahr openly bad mouths in front of everyone. Many do not have any other choice but to suffer this abuse or fear loosing out on an investment many have made for 5 + years.
The dancers need to be interviewed. The stories I have heard about the monetary, physical, and emotional abuse perpetrated by the "Artistic Staff" from some of the most senior dancers (past and present) is enough to turn stomachs. There is a much larger story to be told here.
I agree, support other companies and artists doing inovative works and actual classics. Not contrite step-ball-Change choreography. If CBT had artistic integrity it might have succeeded, but that seems to have dried up a long time ago!

Beşiktaş are preparing a loan bid for Chelsea defender Pappy Djilobodji according to the AMK sports newspaper.
The Black Eagles president Fikret Orman is reported to have held talks with Chelsea in London and negotiations are rumoured to have gone to plan.
The Istanbul giants want to loan Djilobodji and have a history of doing business with Chelsea recently following the Demba Ba deal.
Beşiktaş could however, face competition from Lazio who the Express report are also preparing a loan move for the 26-year-old.
Djilobodji joined Chelsea from the French side Nantes but has yet to make a league appearance for the Blues and head coach Jose Mourinho went as far to claim that signing the Senegal international was not his decision.
"It was not my choice. It was the choice of somebody I trust completely," Mourinho was quoted as saying by the Independent.
"I don't know every player. My job doesn't allow me to travel, doesn't allow me to spend hours and hours watching players."
The Eagles have made strengthening the defence a priority over the winter transfer window having conceded the second highest number of goals in the top three.
Beşiktaş are currently second in the Turkish Super League just one point behind league leaders Fenerbahçe.

2 January 2017
Drake and Jennifer Lopez recently sparked rumours of a relationship with some seriously loved-up snaps and a couple of Instagram pictures.
With no official confirmation yet to come from the two, another hint about a relationship was on display on New Year's Eve when J-Lo was spotted wearing Drake's necklace.
Sitting in a VIP booth inside Hakkasan nightclub, the 47-year-old mother of two watched with friends as the 30-year-old rapper performed on stage.
While J-Lo watched with so much love on her face, wearing a plunging purple dress, Drake's gold chain could be seen dangling across her chest.
Drake had previously been spotted in the signature jewelry on numerous occasions.
J-Lo didn't arrive wearing the necklace, but seemed to put it on later as she took photos with her pals.

This may be slightly outside the scope of logic design, but since reducing power consumption is something that we are all concerned with, I thought this was interesting. Check out the power consumption of various electronic products, in-use, "off", and idle:
Very interesting piece, Jack. It is amazing how much less power the Wii consumes. Its base price is less than the others and that evidently gets compounded year over year as the others gobble up more power! Now, if only I could find a Wii available for the sticker price of $249. :) On the subject of energy meters, I heard an interesting story on NPR a few years back referring to energy orbs: www.inhabitat.com/.../the-energy-orb-monitor-your-electricity-bill Similar conceptually to the meter Rich pointed out, but I seem to recall there being optionally some sort of "social" aspect to the orbs whereby friends and neighbors could be informed of your power consumption if you placed the orb in the window, or if your E-mails, blogs, and online status reflected how well you were doing on conserving energy. Awareness is the first step, but on top of that shame can be an incredible motivator!
Nice post!
This is an area that is getting increased interest. One nifty little device is the Kill-A-Watt (www.p3international.com/.../P4400-CE.html). I keep meaning to get one - I'm sure it would complain like mad about my PS3.
When searching for the above, I came across a story from the UK. They're planning on giving everyone free real-time energy meters. The thought process is exactly as described above - if people know how much energy is being consumed, they'll do something about it.
There's an opportunity lurking here to provide near real-time power information from household appliances. Maybe it is built in to the power unit, maybe it is a plug in device. Either way, it could communicate to your home PC, giving you higher control over where you spend your household energy. Is there a standard for this? Should there be?

Early next morning (April 15) all hands were astir. The sun soon shone brightly and we spread out our wet gear to dry, till the beach looked like a particularly disreputable gipsy camp. The boots and clothing had suffered considerably during our travels. I had decided to send Wild along the coast in the Stancomb Wills to look for a new camping-ground, and he and I discussed the details of the journey while eating our breakfast of hot seal steak and blubber. The camp I wished to find was one where the party could live for weeks or even months in safety, without danger from sea or wind in the heaviest winter gale. Wild was to proceed westwards along the coast and was to take with him four of the fittest men, Marston, Crean, Vincent, and McCarthy. If he did not return before dark we were to light a flare, which would serve him as a guide to the entrance of the channel. The Stancomb Wills pushed off at 11 a.m. and quickly passed out of sight around the island. Then Hurley and I walked along the beach towards the west, climbing through a gap between the cliff and a great detached pillar of basalt. The narrow strip of beach was cumbered with masses of rock that had fallen from the cliffs. We struggled along for two miles or more in the search for a place where we could get the boats ashore and make a permanent camp in the event of Wild's search proving fruitless, but after three hours' vain toil we had to turn back. We had found on the far side of the pillar of basalt a crevice in the rocks beyond the reach of all but the heaviest gales. Rounded pebbles showed that the seas reached the spot on occasions. Here I decided to depot ten cases of Bovril sledging ration in case of our having to move away quickly. We could come back for the food at a later date if opportunity offered.

As a manager and attorney, the materials on examples provided by StoriesWork helped me to be more effective in listening to what clients and subordinates were telling me, helping me to clarify issues and concerns, and identify problems and solutions. For me it opened a previously untapped resource.
Having known and admired Dr.Ucko for many years I have been most interested in her inventive approach to using folktales to shed light on the personal experiences of individuals. This involves letting people work out their own interpretations of these stories and to see how they might apply to their own situation. This is done in a group context with lively discussions by participants, without preestablsihed conclusions or preaching. The method leads to self-discovery and insight without confessions or accusations. The results of this method have been found helpful both by a range of agencies and a variety of participants. This valuable work is in urgent need of support and most worthy of it. Erika Bourguignon, Ph,D.,Anthropologist,Professor emerita, The Ohio Sytate University

.- In 2002, Mark Kurowski, in what he calls the hardest move of his life, left the United Methodist church he'd served for 12 years as pastor, thirsty for the truth of the Catholic faith.
Now, 40-year old Kurowski, who is married with five children is seeking to become a Catholic priest--a position usually reserved for the celibate.
The year after his conversion, and frustrated with the lack of ministry jobs for lay Catholics in his area, the former pastor enlisted the help of the Bishop of the Diocese of Gary to help him petition the Vatican for a dispensation of the priestly celibacy requirement.
This fall, Kurowski is scheduled to enter north Chicago's Mundelien Seminary.
Kurowski told the Chicago Sun-Times that his heart was changed while presiding at a communion service at Marquette Park United Methodist Church in Gary, Indiana.
He had read accounts of the early fathers of the Church who spoke of the bread and wine used in communion as the literal Body and Blood of Christ, something the Methodist church views as merely symbolic.
It was then, he said, that he "felt like he hit a brick wall with Methodism."
"If it was just a memorial or a remembrance, that wasn't good enough for me," he told the Sun-Times. "I hungered and thirsted for more."
Kurowski has three years of seminary ahead of him before he has the opportunity to join 100 other married Catholic priests around the country.
The Catholic Church teaches that married people can pursue the priesthood, mainly in cases of clergy from other denominations who become Catholic. Throughout history, there have been numerous married priests, including the apostle James, who was one of the 12 archetypes for the modern priesthood.
Distinct from doctrines like male priesthood which have no exceptions, celibate priesthood is a Church discipline which is practiced by the Church in the west and can have legitimate exceptions.
Despite personal and family struggles that have come along with following his new path, Kurowski is convinced that his call is from God.
"It's not an easy thing to follow Christ when he asks you to give it all up," he told the Sun-Times. But "it isn't about Mark Kurowski. It's about Jesus."

According to a recent report by Knight Frank, China has been named the top performing country for luxury real estate in 2016. Inspite of many local investors looking for places such as London, prices in China's big cities continue to grow at a high rate.
Shanghai has always had the reputation for being one of the most expensive cities in the world for living. In this metropolis, prime property increased 27.4% in 2016 despite the doom and gloom surrounding the country.
Same as Shanghai, Beijing had an impressive increase of 26.8% in 2016. For one of the most recognised cities in the country its no surprise such an increase.
Although not as recognised as Beijing or Shanghai, Guangzhou had an increase of 26.6% in 2016.
Truth be told, many of the competing markets have weakened during 2016 due to several domestic policies. However, China has managed to stay on top due to its economical growth, the increasing demand and its relatively low supply in some areas.
It is expected in the near future that foreign investors target London due to its currency weakness and all the Brexit benefits.

However, it isn't always like this. There are those rare occasions when a comic book death is so shocking in it's depiction, whether the chilling brutality, the stunning humanity of it or the sheer disbelief it leaves you with.
It is these kinds of deaths I've chosen to spotlight in these 10 Shocking Comic Book Deaths. I'm sure there are dozens of other equally deserving items and this list caters a bit to my longtime love of Spider-Man (to be fair, I could, and probably will eventually, do an entire list on deaths in Spider-Man comics alone), but I think every death is justified in its place on this list and I leave it up to you guys to let everyone know of any other shocking deaths you think deserve to be spotlighted in the comments below.
As seen in Solar: Man of the Atom #10 "Alpha & Omega"
Gayle who? Solar: Man of the what now? Whachu talkin' bout, Kirk?
Well, for those that have never read Solar: Man of the Atom's, Alpha & Omega, storyline, or any Solar comics for that matter, Solar has the ability to manipulate energy and to absorb radiation, say, like absorbing all the energy of a nearby star to powerup and fight back against a government using his loved ones against him.
Well, what happens when someone absorbs that much energy can be seen to the left. Our hero comes back and can't control his godlike powers and, basically, kills the woman he loves, Gayle Nordheim, in a shocking and not so pretty manner.
Not quite finished, Solar's power eventually sucks the entire solar system into a black hole, killing everyone and depositing Solar in the "real world", where we started in with issue one (note: Alpha & Omega ran as a series of backups running parallel to the main story, which I am referring to as the "real world").
As seen in Amazing Spider-Man #121
Ah, Gwen Stacy, the whore. Er, I mean, Gwen Stacy, the loving and faithful girlfriend of Peter Parker. They were the perfect couple - young, happy and in love. Nothing could go wrong. Except getting thrown off a bridge and having your neck snapped.
While having your girlfriend die doesn't seem like a big deal in comics anymore, this was revolutionary at the time. People didn't die in comics, especially not the hero's loved ones (unless it was origin related), and it was never because the badguy learned the hero's secret identity either.
This death changed the landscape of Spider-Man stories and comics, in general, and many consider this death to signal the end of the Silver Age of comics.
KID MARVELMAN (also known as Kid Miracleman)
As seen in Miracleman #15
Another comic many people will probably never have read. However, unlike Solar: Man of the Atom, I'm sure many people have at least heard of this comic.
Marvelman (more commonly known as Miracleman) is a Captain Marvel archtype, right down to requiring a secret word to transform and having a family of heroes, namely Kid Marvelman, Marvelwoman and Young Marvelman.
Everything was peachy keen until Alan Moore came along and made all of the old Marvelman comics into a fake virtual reality program designed to train super soldiers.
Kid Marvelman's 13 year old human identity, Johnny Bates, is unable to cope with the stress of this program and decides to never return to his human form, leaving the insane Kid Marvelman identity to take over.
Kid Marvelman goes on to slaughter thousands, wiping out most of the population of London, before Warpsmith manages to warp a piece of shrapnel into his head and a steel girder into his chest. Unable to deal with the pain, Kid Marvelman reverts to his human form, where the young 13 year old boy, aware of everything his evil alter ego was doing, is wrought with guilt.
After witnessing the death and devestation caused by Kid Marvelman, Marvelman quickly craddles the young boy in his arms, promises him everything will be alright and promptly crushes his skull, ending the threat forever.
Do I even have to mention this story was written in the early 1980's, at a time when you simply did not see comics written like this? Powerful stuff that many writers still crib from even today.
As seen in Watchmen #12
Why is Rorschach's death so shocking? Well, because evil won. No, this isn't Final Crisis, it's Watchmen I'm talking about.
Basically, Rorschach wants to expose Adrian Veidt and his twisted machinations for world peace, which he has just succeeded in carrying out.
In typical super-hero fashion, you'd expect his former buddies, Owl-Man, Silk Spectre and Dr Manhatten, to back him up and take the villain to task.
The problem arises when they can't see any possible way to expose Adrian without undoing the peace he has created, which would lead to all out world war.
What follows can be seen to the left, as Dr Manhatten kills Rorschach, the only super-hero willing to stand up to the villain, effectively ensuring the villain succeeds.
What's even worse than being killed for standing up to the villain is that his friend and ally kills him and none of the other "heroes" even care! They just go along with it, leaving the reader with more morale quandries than just about any other comic alive.
Should he have been killed? Should heroes compromise? Do people deserve to know the truth? Is the price of peace worth it? These and so many more from one single death.

As seen in Superman: Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow
You can kill a super-hero, you can kill his girlfriend and you can even kill his family and loved ones, but you just don't kill a man's dog! That's just not right!
As seen in Amazing Spider-Man #294 "Kraven's Last Hunt"
Suicide is rarely ever tackled in mainstream comics. Yet here, in a Spider-Man comic no less, is a graphic, on panel death and 'aftermath' scene of Kraven killing himself after accomplishing his life's goals with the defeat of Spider-Man.
Shocking in the brutal depiction and powerful in the effects of Kraven's actions and denial of retribution from Spider-Man make this one of the most shocking deaths in comicdom.

As seen in The Death of Captain Marvel
While far from the first super hero to die in a comic book, the death of Captain Mar-Vell is noteworthy not for the why, but how he died.
Where other heroes died fighting their greatest foes or after having sacrificing themselves for the greater good, Mar-Vell died from, of all things, cancer.
At the time, cancer was far from as prominent as it currently is and the shocking and all too human death of Captain Mar-Vell is as powerful today as it was then.
ALEX DeWITT
As seen in Green Lantern #54
While nowhere near as huge or popular or well known as the other items on this list, the death of Alex DeWitt is shocking in how graphic and horrific the death of Kyle Rayner's girlfriend was.
After arriving home from some super-heroing, Kyle starts looking for his girlfriend, Alex. All he finds is a 'love letter' telling him to look in the fridge.
As you can see to the left, all Kyle finds is his girlfriend's dismembered body stuffed into a refridgerator, making Alex DeWitt to the posterwoman of the Women in Refridgerators movement and marking one of the most gruesome depictions of violence against a female character I have ever seen.
As seen in The Infinity Gauntlet #1
Okay, okay, having a villain "kill" huge numbers of people only to have them brought back to life by the end of the story may seem a tad cliched now, but, back in the 80's, before all the interwebs and solicits and general fan knowledge, this was revolutionary stuff.
To think, in the first issue, we have Mephisto manipulating Thanos, who controls the Infinity Gauntlet - an object making him the master of the universe (no, not He-Man) - into fulfilling his promise to Death to wipe out half of all life in the universe.
Not only does Thanos agree to do this, even Mephisto is shocked to see Thanos actually do it, as he casually snaps his fingers, killing not only random creatures, but, as seen throughout the rest of the issue, dozens of named heroes and villains in the process.
By the end of the story, Thanos had 'killed' everyone that opposed him, save a few stragglers, and it was hard for fans to come to terms with what was happening to the Marvel Universe or if there was even going to be a Marvel Universe by the end of this.

As seen in Amazing Spider-Man #400
Few times have I been touched by a character's passing in a comic book, but Aunt May's death in Amazing Spider-Man #400 is one of them.
After waking from her long running coma, Aunt May and Peter spend most of the issue talking and she reveals how she has always known he was Spider-Man, approved of what he was doing and didn't blame him for what happened to Uncle Ben.
It was touching and heartfelt and made sense and was probably the first time in years that Aunt May's character had seen any kind of character development.
This all made the end of the issue that much sadder, as, in one of the more human moments in a super hero comic to date, Aunt May passes away in her home, surrounded by her loved ones as Peter cries, quoting a passage from Peter Pan, his favourite childhood story May used to read to him.
Meanwhile, sitting on the rooftop is the clone, Ben Reilly, who we all knew to be the clone at the time. As he, himself, knew he was the clone, he knew he could not be with May and knew this was not his life, but could not let go of the memories of the person that raised him - the only person he loved enough to return to this life in New York - and he was forced to sit on the rooftop, unable to be with his aunt during her final moments, left to cry, alone, in his sorrow.
Say what you will about the clone saga, but that is some heart wrenching stuff and something easily relatable to and only served to heighten the emotional involvement of the readers. For allowing Aunt May to die with dignity and respect, instead of some cliched super-villain plot, this is easily one of the most shocking deaths in comics.

Mastered by George Marino at Sterling Sound
The original master tapes for this title had not been used since 1980 previous to this reissue. Also, for this Analogue Productions reissue the decision was made to master and present this album as it was originally mixed to master tape. With very few exceptions all versions of this title to date, including the original, have had the channels incorrectly reversed. With this version, you'll hear this title as it was intended to be heard, without the channels reversed. And again, those reissues you've heard up until now - definitely still breathy, warm and rich - were made from something less than the master. Prepare to hear the veil removed.
Astrud Gilberto says that her husband, Joao, informed Stan Getz that she "could sing at the recording." Creed Taylor recalls that it took Getz's wife, Monica, to get both Astrud and Joao into the recording studio; Mrs. Getz had a sense that Astrud could make a hit. And Getz himself is on record saying that he insisted on Astrud's presence over the others' objections. So who's right? What does it matter? The Gilbertos, Getz and the legendary Antonio Carlos Jobim followed up the bossa nova success of Jazz Samba with this, the defining LP of the genre. With one of the greatest hit singles jazz has ever known - each one who hears it goes "Ahhh!"
Originally released in 1963.

Vinyl records are able to capture the purest quality of recorded music in true form. This is possible because the initial recording is captured on an analog source (usually tape) for the ultimate in High Fidelity sound, it is then pressed onto virgin vinyl. Analog recordings capture the bottom end (or bass) while adding sweetness to the high end (or treble) better than any digital recording ever could. Analog systems are still commonly used before they are digitally transferred to CD. This means that the sound then is altered in the transfer process when CD's are produced. The word fidelity means accuracy and faithfulness. High Fidelity sound is faithful to the original sound made by the artist, capturing maximum accuracy of what was intended for the listener to hear. Vinyl records capture those sounds for the ultimate High Fidelity listening experience!
180/200 GRAM Vinyl LP
These vinyl records are produced with 180 or 200 grams of high definition premium grade virgin vinyl. This is a higher quality audiophile pressing than the typical vinyl record of 100-120 grams. These limited edition LP's are manufactured with the hi-fi enthusiast in mind. A 180 or 200 gram LP is sometimes also referred to as an audiophile pressing, there is a higher bass response and an even warmer High Fidelity sound. 180 or 200 grams LP's are typically manufactured in limited amounts and are considered collectables, commanding a higher price.
Typically, a vinyl reissue is a repressing of an original LP, usually extracted from the recording's master-tapes. In some cases, reissues are remastered to lower surface noise and improve overall sonics. Reissues help preserve the music of an original recording, especially when original LPs become unavailable or can no longer be found. Reissues can be pressed on a variety of thickness from 150 gram to 200 gram and offer a great opportunity for records collectors to own many classic recordings.

I had a sad case recently. A young pet ferret had eaten some Tic Tacs. One might think Tic Tacs would only cause an upset stomach, but it can actually be fatal to ferrets. Unfortunately some sugar-free products contain xylitol. Xylitol is a sugar alcohol that is as sweet as sucrose but contains a lot less calories. It is a common sugar substitute in gum, candy, Jell-O, and baked products. Xylitol is considered safe for humans, but it can cause problems in dogs, ferrets and possibly rabbits.
There has been some research with xylitol in dogs. Back in the 1970s it was noted that xylitol could cause dogs to have low blood glucose problems. When dogs eat xylitol, the pancreas responds to this sweetener by releasing insulin. The insulin causes the blood glucose level to be lowered. If a dog eats too much of this sugar substitute, it will get lethargic and may have some vomiting and diarrhea within one hour. This can progress to severe weakness and seizure activity within a few hours. More recent research has shown that if the dog is not treated quickly, liver damage and liver failure can develop as soon as 12 hours after ingestion. The liver damage can be fatal even with treatment.
Pet ferrets are also at risk if they ingest xylitol. Ferrets seem to have a sweet tooth and are prone to eating candy and other inappropriate things. Ferrets that eat xylitol can have the same low glucose problems similar to dogs and are also at risk for liver damage just like dogs.
In the case I had, the pet ferret had eaten Tic Tacs that had xylitol in them. The ferret's glucose was low, and she was also showing signs of liver damage. One sign of liver damage is the yellowing of the skin, nose, gums and lips. This is called jaundice and it was obvious in this ferret. Treatment at this point is to give IV fluids and dextrose to raise the glucose level. Additional treatment for the liver can include SAMe, silybin (milk thistle), vitamin E and mucomyst. Plasma or blood transfusions may be helpful too; however, once the liver damage has been done it may be too late for any treatment to work.
Other human foods that can cause serious problems in small mammals include raisins, grapes, and chocolate. Be very careful about what your pets eat to avoid accidental poisoning.

The Danger
Whenever gas piping is repaired, extended, or newly installed it must be purged. The rules and best practices for handling these situations are often misunderstood, even by those conducting the work. This has caused much pain and suffering including deaths, explosions, and the loss of billions of dollars in industrial assets. This document seeks to clear up some misconceptions and provide the insights needed to make sure this work is done safely at any facility by applying the codes and standards such as OSHA 1910, NFPA 54, and the equipment standards like NFPA 85 or NFPA 86.
First of all, there are two codes that directly apply to this kind of situation. The first is OSHA 1910.147 for lockout/tagout of hazardous energy sources. There's been a lot written about this issue and most people make some attempt to comply with it, at least on the electrical side. However, while it seems to be followed religiously on the electrical side, we find it's only followed less than half the time for gas piping, steam, and other items that could be dangerous in a pipe. Many times, a lock is found on an electrical disconnect, yet the gas valve is just closed and not locked. Even when people try to isolate equipment correctly, they often do not understand the issues surrounding lubricated plug valves and their need to be sealed in order to hold properly. Lubricated plug valves (which represents 60 to 80% of natural gas piping system valves) have a small gap between the plug and the valve body. If the sealant is not applied annually, as required by code and the manufacturer, gas will leak past the plug even when the valve is in the closed position. Most plants do not have the knowledge or the equipment to seal these and have never sealed them in the life of the valve. Hence, closing or locking out a valve in this condition does not necessarily isolate the energy source.
The other code that applies to this issue is NFPA 54, which is also called the National Fuel Gas Code. It provides all that one would ever want to know about this topic. It is a rather large document and takes some time to study and truly understand, so many consulting engineering firms and/or contractors do not fully understand it, and in some cases, have not even heard of it. This is proven by the lack of isolation points (i.e. blanks, blinds, pancakes, etc.) and the lack of purge points installed in most industrial plants. There seems to be little forethought given to the actual installation of the gas pipe and how the gas pipe will be put into service and the equipment started up. Here are some highlights from NFPA 54 about getting piping into service or the more complex matter of adding to an existing system.
10 Gas Piping & Equipment Start-up Hazards and How to Avoid
Shown below are ten hazards involved in purging natural gas piping and how to avoid them. These tips and techniques should be incorporated into a comprehensive documented procedure for natural gas piping purging, piping system design, and equipment start-ups.
1. Purge Points
Purge points are pipe nipples installed at strategic locations in the piping system for the purpose of introducing or removing nitrogen and natural gas at various stages of the process. These are generally 1" schedule 80 nipples with natural gas rated ball valves on the ends. It is important to select locations or orientations to make sure these are not susceptible to damage from things like vehicle traffic (being run into with a tow motor or scissors lift).
2. Isolation Points
You have to be very careful that fuel trains are not exposed to excessive pressures that can damage components during pressure testing. This can be done with the use of line blinds. Valves can be left open or leak through in the closed position. Blinds provide positive isolation and eliminate the possibility of damaging devices in a fuel train that are not rated for the elevated test pressures (like regulators and pressure switches). In some cases, blinds also help to conduct pressure testing correctly, as pressure testing cannot be done against a valve.
3. Piping Support
During repairs, sections of piping may be disconnected to allow the addition of tees or to install blinds. It is important to ensure that adequate pipe supports exist to ensure that sections of pipe will not fall when disconnected. The closest support may be on the other side of the disconnected joint.
4. Gaskets
NFPA 54 does not allow the reuse of flange gaskets even if they appear to be in good shape. To ensure leak free joints, it is important that new gaskets are used as well as properly rated bolts for the flanges. Remember, too, that if you are mating up flanges, it is raised face to raised face and flat face to flat face.
5. Material Specifications
It is important that only proper rated pipe and fittings are used. Validate that reputable suppliers are used and material is free from manufacturing and installation defects. This would include things like pinholes in cast fittings, fittings where the threads are misaligned, and pipe that is not of the proper grade.
6. Nitrogen
The air we breathe is 78% Nitrogen, but two full breaths of pure Nitrogen can kill you. This inert gas is nothing to fool with. Make sure everyone understands this hazard and make sure purge points are marked and located in well ventilated areas. Also, verify pressure ratings of hoses and regulators; large liquid nitrogen tanks are capable of producing high discharge pressures. When discharging Nitrogen, the purge discharge areas need to be monitored. Everyone involved in the purging and pressure testing needs to be trained on the safe handling of Nitrogen.
7. Discharge Locations
Make sure that purge end points where natural gas may be released are outside and at least 25' from any ignition source. Have areas roped off for security to keep ignition sources (including vehicles) and people away
8. Sampling Devices
Do not use a combustion flue gas analyzer; use a good quality, recently calibrated LEL (lower explosive limit) meter during natural gas introduction and removal. A four gas meter can be used to monitor oxygen levels during Nitrogen post repair purging. Make sure that two LEL meters are available. Stopping the process due to instrumentation error can create a hazard. One LEL meter can be used as a barrier protector for the people near the purge end point and the other for use with at least a 6' long sensing tube that can monitor conditions at the actual discharge point. Don't actually stand in harm's way at the discharge point. Instead, do a timed and measured discharge and then with the flow stopped carefully approach to do an LEL check in the end of the purge hose.
9. Piping Integrity
During repairs or additions, piping may not be installed properly or disturbed during work. NFPA 54 requires that you have documentation of pressure testing for new or repaired piping systems prior to introducing natural gas. The results of these tests should be retained for the life of the piping system. Any section of piping that has undergone recent additions or repairs should be evaluated if no test records exist. Our firm has established as a best practice the use of pressure chart recorders. These paper and pen battery powered recorders come with very small pressure increment gradations (1 psig) and provide excellent records of pressure and hold times of tests.
10. Emergency Isolation
During the reintroduction of natural gas after the post repair purge it is imperative that the natural gas valve source valve be continuously attended during the reintroduction process. Communication with this individual should be continuously maintained. If a problem is detected, the supply of natural gas can be immediately isolated. In addition, valves should be serviced, handles installed and valve function verified.
Anytime natural gas piping systems are designed or worked on these potential hazards should be evaluated and addressed. While the process is not simple, it can be completed safely if planned and properly implemented.

(Adds quotes, background)
MEXICO CITY, March 11 (Reuters) - Mexico's central bank is still discussing raising interest rates either before or after the U.S. Federal Reserve takes action, the central bank's deputy governor Manuel Ramos said in an interview with local radio on Wednesday.
In January, Bank of Mexico Governor Agustin Carstens suggested that an interest rate hike was very probable this year as the Federal Reserve is expected to raise rates.
"The discussion that we're having, and that I think is still being carried out by the governing body, is whether or not it's advisable to act in a preventative way in terms of moving before the Fed or if it's better to wait until after the Federal Reserve moves first," Ramos told Mexico City-based Radio Formula.
Earlier this week, Citigroup's Mexican unit Banamex said that its view is that Mexico's central bank will raise its reference rate in June before the Federal Reserve possibly approves its own interest rate hike.
"I don't think that anyone or any emerging economy that has a high degree of financial integration with the global economy can avoid moving rates in the same direction as the United States," added Ramos, one of five members of the central bank's governing body.

I love my sketchbook.
However, it has taken shape to look like something natalie dee would create (see also: www.nataliedee.com). I'm not sure if this is a good or a bad thing. Of course, I think I am funny, but I think a good majority of my humor is lost on others. I would love to collage, but the problem with collaging is actually finding things to put together. I have these ideas of things I would like to see together, but of course, that is not the point of collaging.
How do I better my sketchbook and show concept development while still showing variety? What are your suggestions?

Tasmania's Commissioner for Children has rejected calls for a wide ranging inquiry into Tasmania's child protection services.
The Premier, David Barteltt, has rejected Liberal demands for a full commission of inquiry into the case of a 12-year-old ward of the state who was sold for sex.
At the same time Labor is warming to a Greens proposal for a parliamentary inquiry, even though the Children's Commissioner Paul Mason says neither option is necessary.
Mr Mason says it is regrettable the plight of children is again fast becoming a political football.
He says he supports a parliamentary inquiry into how the public's expectations of a Commissioner for Children can be legislated.

Come back to an age of goddesses, heroes, and men. Long ago on a beautiful island in the Eastern Mediterranean, a famous Bronze Age inventor named Daedalus created working wings. Naturally, inevitably, he had to test them. Since flight is something we all long for, deep down in our souls, he made two pair: one for himself and another for his son. It could have been his life's work, a masterpiece, but, Icarus had a different idea. Icarus and the Wing Builder is a inspirational recreation of the ancient myth, a story of freedom, romance, slavery, and coming of age on the Minoan sailing ships of ancient Greece. Find out what really happened in the sky that day!

The relationship of father and son given new wings
The narration is masterful. The author has a terrific "radio voice". It enlightened me about many aspects of ancient Greek life, customs and relationships. While the flight plays a central role, it is not the central subject of the book. It explores the depths of the relationship between Daedalus, two Kings, a courtesan, and of course, his son Icarus. How far are you willing to go to secure your child's happiness? How much are you willing to sacrifice? Daedalus shows us over and over, how to live a meaningful life.
The voyage on the ship and how Daedalus's relationship begins to develop with his son, and the discovery of his deep deception and consequent oath. The vivid descriptions of a world long gone.
The trust of Daedalus of his invention and the courage to take the leap into the void, towards flight and the twist at the end.
Soaring love story of the relationship between a devoted father and his adventurous son.
This book was hard to put down because of the great narration, the engaging central characters and the voyage of discovery into a distant past.
- Andrevan Hall
An Outstanding Audio Experience
Author Robert Case narrates a timeless tale that is as relevant today as it was 4,000 years ago. It is mythology, but with a modern twist. Icarus and the Wing Builder has a subtext about man's relationship to technology as well as his relationship to the Gods and with himself. It's rare for an author to have such a rich voice. It is worth getting the audio version just to listen to Rob's melodious baritone.
Maybe its just me, but many of the descriptions of psychological motivations of the characters, have really stuck.
Reading about Daedalus' problems in court was a favorite.
As a father, the recounting of Daedalus' grief over the loss of his son was particularly moving
Listening to the preview will you a sense of Mr. Case's unique talents.
