Naviance tool for college/career planning
Naviance on-line tool helps students & parents plan for college & careers
North Clackamas Schools is pleased to introduce Naviance Family Connection, a web-based service designed to help parents work with students to plan for college and career.
Naviance Family Connection is a comprehensive website to help make decisions about colleges and careers. High school counselors and teachers can also use this service to track and analyze data about each student's college and career plans.
Family Connection will allow students and parents to:
• Complete the Extended Application (EA):
The Extended Application is a post-graduation plan that each high school senior must complete to graduate in North Clackamas. This can be started within Naviance as soon as the summer before senior year. Using Naviance for the EA process is required for all seniors.
• Start planning for college and career:
Build a resume, complete on-line surveys, and manage deadlines for decisions about college applications and career planning.
• Research colleges:
Rank your priorities and see which colleges are the best fit. Try the College Match tool to discover colleges interested in receiving applications from students like you.
• Sign up for college visits:
Find out which colleges are visiting your school, sign up to attend those sessions, and receive reminder emails as the event approaches.
To sign in to Naviance, use the Naviance link on your high school web site. Use the student's Google Docs log-in and password.
Clackamas: http://www.nclack.k12.or.us/Domain/322
Milwaukie: https://connection.naviance.com/familyconnection/auth/login/?hsid=milwaukiehs
Rex Putnam: https://connection.naviance.com/familyconnection/auth/login/?hsid=rexphs
Counselors can post student tasks in Family Connection, so plan to log in to the site at least once a week. If you have any questions, contact your student's counselor.
Juniors will be introduced to Naviance in May. Freshmen and sophomores will receive this information in the fall. In addition, the CIS (Career Information System) will remain available to students.

Ask the Experts
My Child Needs Help Making Decisions
By Dr. Joseph Gianesin, Behavioral Consultant
My 9-year-old is a smart girl, and she typically gets all A's. Her problem is she can't make a decision, for fear of being wrong, or not choosing what someone else might choose. It has now gotten into her problem solving at school, and always wanting affirmation from the teacher. Even her test-taking is involved because she takes so long to make a decision, because she does not want to be wrong. Her testing takes longer than the rest of the class. Is there anything I can do to help her?
Your daughter wants to be right and needs affirmation from others, especially adults, that she's doing well. When she has trouble making a decision, it's a sign that she doubts herself. This seeking the approval of others is causing her to experience stress and lose confidence in herself.
I have two suggestions to help her: First, you should take some time to help her understand the decision-making process. Generally, adults weigh the pro and cons of a decision, look at the alternatives and arrive at a solution. Yet often, despite our good intentions and thoughtfulness, our decision may not be the right one. When this happens, we reassure ourselves that we made the best decision at the time based on our grasp of the knowledge and facts. You'll need to model this for her and have her help you make some routine decisions that you take for granted. For example, take her to the grocery store and have her look at two items. What factors do you take into account (e.g., price, ingredients, organic)? Modeling this process will help her understand the decision- making process.
Second, time limits should be set with her regarding decisions. We don't always have an unlimited amount of time to make a decision. I often use a timer with students to encourage them to make a decision quickly. I recently asked a group of my graduate students to raise their hand if they had trouble making a decision about what to order when they go to a restaurant. At least 25% of the class admitted they had trouble making a decision in a timely manner. I then told them that if I were to take them to lunch and would pay for it, they would have to make a decision in 2 minutes otherwise they would be responsible for the bill. They reluctantly agreed that they could make a menu choice but that they'd prefer not to be rushed. Try these techniques with your daughter, and be sure to praise her when she does make an independent decision.
Advice from our experts is not a substitute for professional diagnosis or treatment from a health-care provider or learning expert familiar with your unique situation. We recommend consulting a qualified professional if you have concerns about your child's condition.

Crazy for My Cardigan
Par Donna from Hamilton
de Hamilton Ontario
I loved this cardigan when I saw it on the show. I did think it was still a bit pricey but decided to order it anyway. I am very pleased that I did. The quality is worth the money,although I still wish it was a bit cheaper.I ordered the khaki and love the color and the fit. I find Diane Gilman fashions on the big size for me so I down size one size and so far have not been disappointed .I am sold on Diane's fashions. Quality Quality Quality
Comfy Cardigan!
Par J Louie
de near Edmonton
This cardi is very comfortable, and I love the green. Since St. Patrick's Day is tomorrow, and green is the pantone color of the year, it is very appropriate for both ! I would have preferred it just an inch or two longer, but it looks good and fits well.
love the color
Par Happy feet
de POWELL RIVER
i am enjoying this sweater
Lovely Colour!
Par Debora N
de Vancouver
What a gorgeous colour of green! And, green is the fashion colour this year so I decided to get ahead of the game. I'm glad I did. This sweater is very comfortable, but a little on the larger size, so I would take that into consideration if ordering. I am keeping it anyway, because it is so comfortable and pretty.

The renovation organizes the public and private areas of the home, while also creating a formal entrance and a much needed master suite bedroom. Initially, the entrance to the 1960s era home was through the carport, but Method's redesign created a grand entrance in the front of the property, that harmonizes with the sloping hills of the landscape. The master suite addition floats above the new entrance, creating a protecting overhang that extends to the side of the home.
The master suite addition was designed to float above an unused space of the land, transforming it into a covered porch area. Held up by angled columns, the bedroom is capped with a glass wall that opens onto a small balcony. The angular columns also mimic the thin trees that populate the property, tying in the design of the home to the land. The new additions are also capped with weathered steel, which repeats on the underside of the floating partition.
The entire house was also re-clad with sustainable materials, including rain screens of cedar which echo the trees in the area. The renovated DPR House transformed a basic hillside structure into a spacious home that connects the architecture to the land with porches, balconies and architectural details.

Whilst setting up my new development environment in Windows 8 I ran into a little annoyance. I needed to edit my 'hosts' file to make local '.dev' domain names. Generally, I would do this in Notepad++ (like everything else not PHP, HTML, JS, etc) but for some reason it won't do it. So I end up using Notepad.
Using Notepad is annoying enough, but that isn't what I am writing about. When opening the 'hosts' file in Notepad it wouldn't let me save. Citing something about inadequate permissions. Apparently, you have to run Notepad in "Administrator Mode." This is a pain in the ass because you can't just go to Explorer, find the file, and do an "Open with…" command. You have to actually go to the sometimes handy, oft times infuriating Start Screen, find the Notepad tile, right-click it and chose "Run as administrator" option, and then find the file via Notepad's "File > Open…" prompt. I edit the 'hosts' file quite a bit as I am constantly working on new projects, so this just wasn't cutting it. After a bit of research I stumbled across Viper007Bond's blogpost Editting Your Hosts File in Windows. This post show's you how to create a shortcut that runs as administrator by default.
This is a simple thing to do and frankly I am embarrassed for not knowing it off-hand. Here is the fix:
- Open Explorer to the place that you want to put your shortcut (I like to put it in 'C:\wamp\')
- Right click an empty spot in Explorer to get the contextual menu and choose "New > Shortcut"
- Put the following in the textbox below the "Type the location of the item" label:
%windir%\system32\notepad.exe %windir%\system32\drivers\etc\hosts"
- Give the shortcut an appropriate name (i.e. "hosts")
- Click the "Finish" button
- Now right click the newly created shortcut to view its contextual menu and click "Properties"
- Choose the "Advanced…" button
- Check the box labeled "Run as administrator"
- Click OK twice
Now when you open this shortcut you will be able to edit 'hosts' without hassle.
This could be easily converted to a Start Screen tile if that is your thing.

BREAK and enters, stealing from shops and assaults in Orange remain at more than twice the state average, with police unable to rein in the number of offences in the last quarter, according to crime statistics expert Don Weatherburn.
Mr Weatherburn, who has overseen the release of the latest data from the state's independent crime reporting body the NSW Bureau of Crime Statistics and Research, said Orange results were unusual in another way.
"All categories have remained stable compared to the previous quarter," he said.
However, he said police had been unable to reduce three crime categories - non-domestic assaults that occur outside pubs and clubs, on a footpath or public place, which are twice the state average, break and enters, which are 2.7 times higher than the state average, and stealing from a retail store, which is 2.3 times above the state average.
"Assaults had been rising in Orange and police have stabilised this category of crime but they haven't been able to bring it down along with those other two categories," Mr Weatherburn said.
Canobolas Local Area Commander Superintendent David Driver said crime statistics depended on several factors.
"Police activity, seasonal conditions, and the number of recidivist offenders taken in to custody all contribute," he said.
Mr Weatherburn said break and enters usually occurred at the rate of between 40 and 50 per month in Orange but in December last year residents were hit hard with 100 break and enters recorded.
Superintendent Driver said break and enters also accounted for flow-on crimes such as property theft of a handbag or wallet with money or credit cards, and the theft of car keys.
"Motor vehicles stolen are the break and enters that are common and we saw that at the beginning of this year," he said.
Mr Weatherburn said sexual assaults reported in Orange remained at a low level with on average two to three a month reported to police.
"But what we have to remember with sexual assaults is that in 60 per cent of cases the assaults involved people known to the victim - either someone they went out on a date with or had been in a relationship with," he said.
Mr Weatherburn said these sexual assault statistics debunked the public stereotype of predators usually committing sexual assaults.
On a more positive note Mr Weatherburn said robbery without a weapon, robbery with a firearm and robbery with a weapon other than a firearm were so low in Orange average statistics could not be calculated.
Superintendent Driver said he was not in a position to comment on whether Orange had sufficient police officers to adequately control crime.
"But I think police in Orange are doing a fantastic job, particularly last month when our crime figures were the lowest for three years," he said.

Monmouth County Daily Photo is ONE YEAR OLD today!
My first ever post was a fungus; I've posted several more fungi since then, but I thought today would be an appropriate occasion to come full circle!
…plus, the next few days will be full of depressing rain/ice storm photos… there's apparently a Nor'easter headed through this area. So enjoy a sunny grassy photo for the time being.

As I was walking along, I saw an old hollow tree stump.
And something in the tree stump caught my eye.
It was fungus #10!
I like fungi.

"A Season of Cold": The Diary of Persis Seaver (Long) Bartlett
As we constantly work to update and improve descriptions of our holdings here at the MHS, we often find interesting and unexpected items buried in large collections, usually items by previously unidentified or misidentified relatives. A staff member recently identified the author of an anonymous diary in the papers of Massachusetts Governor John Davis Long. The diary was kept by Long's sister, Persis Seaver (Long) Bartlett (1828-1893), from 14 Oct. 1889 to 30 June 1892.
Unfortunately, the circumstances that prompted Persis to write the diary were very sad ones. Her younger son, Percival Temple Bartlett, suffered from tuberculosis, and he and Persis were traveling West in hopes that a change in climate would alleviate his condition. The trip was ultimately unsuccessful, and Percy died in San Antonio, Texas, on 20 May 1890 at the age of 27. The diary documents his deteriorating health and his mother's feelings at every stage of his illness and after his death. It's a very personal and fascinating account of loss that still resonates 120 years later.
By 1889, Persis had been a widow for over 20 years. She had also lost her parents, a sister, a brother, and a daughter. Her older son, Stephen Long Bartlett, was a businessman in Boston, and her brother John and his family lived in Hingham, Mass. But writing so many miles from home, Persis described her feelings of isolation, helplessness, and anxiety as the sole caretaker of her weakening son. A typical diary entry reads: "I am thinking of him, so much, as I sit in my room adjoining his, while he sleeps and breathes, too short, and coughs too often….His case looks very discouraging to me. I hope I am mistaken."
Persis recorded the daily changes in Percy's symptoms, treatment, appetite, energy, and attitude. At various times, he suffered from the measles, "the grippe," lameness, depression, and even, for some time, lost his voice entirely. Persis also worried about the weather and its effect on her son's health. For example: "Clear and cold. Now comes their winter here, frost that has killed the strawberries and vegetables, and stripped the trees of their leaves and blossoms. A season of cold never known here before. Some how bad luck follows us where we go."
The most poignant diary entries are those containing little details of Percy's gradual decline. On 10 Mar. 1890, Persis wrote: "Percy and I walk to the Ice factory, a short distance, to be weighed. He weighs 115. I 132. Can it be possible this is my bright, sunny, strong Percy that walk[s] by my side so weak…[?]" The seats on a streetcar "are hard for his poor thin body." A little later, "Percival and I ride a little way. I can see he reluctantly allows me to get out and open the gate. His shortness of breath and weakness is terrible for me to see, but how much harder for him to bear."
After Percy's death and her return to Massachusetts, Persis continued, on every page, to express her longing for him. She noted the monthly anniversaries of his death. Whenever her other son, Stephen, showed any sign of illness, she was overcome with anxiety. (In fact, Stephen would survive her by 44 years.) She also maintained a close relationship with a Miss Minnie Speare, who had been, it seems, Percy's sweetheart. And although her lost son would never be far from her mind, Persis was able to write, on 3 Mar. 1891: "Sometimes I can bear it better than at others. Some days I am a little braver."
For more information about the diary of Persis Seaver (Long) Bartlett, see the collection record in our online catalog ABIGAIL. Or visit the library to spend time reading the diary.

I want measure my ranking for keywords in various countries and search engines.
If I use a tool such as rank checker to determine my rank for google.uk, google.au.com, etc... is that accurate, or does my IP still affect the rankings I see?
If I use a VPS such as Hide My Ass (or another product you would recommend), would that make my ranking results more accurate?
I also want to measure my ranking in Russia, where Yandex is very strong so a tool to measure my Yandex ranking + Google would be ideal.
What method you would recommend to accurately determine my rankings in different countries?

"My grandmother baked the cake and I decorated the cake with frosting and squeezed lemon," Ortiz said. (JOSELITO VILLERO PHOTO / January 28, 2013) |
CALIPATRIA — City officials here are looking forward to next year's citrus festival despite only wrapping up the inaugural event on Sunday.
The event, which ran for three days, was a celebration of the citrus growers' success and contributions to the local community.
"This was a positive and enjoyable event," said Romualdo Medina, Calipatria city manager. "Whenever there is an opportunity to bring the community together and have fun it makes it worthwhile. We owe a great amount of gratitude to the Calipatria Chamber of Commerce for bringing the event forward."
Medina said the event was well-organized and had activities that appealed to all ages.
"For it being the first event I believe it was very successful," Medina said. "The art, food displays, contests and entertainment appealed to everyone's interest."
Although the Friday showers kept event-goers indoors, Maria Nava-Froelich said days two and three of the event were well-attended.
"There were probably between 600 and 700 people who made their way through the event," said Nava-Froelich, Calipatria Chamber of Commerce president. "We're all very happy with how it turned out and we're excited to be planning next year's event and hopefully making it better."
In addition to the various fresh-fruit stands, Nava-Froelich said the multiple contests appeared to be a hit with community members.
"We had a tamale contest and a crazy hat for the contest," she said. "It was a lot of fun."

To Listen better is an important skill that without it you can fail in loving with someone or fail to make a deal in a business or fail in a year in your college and it's also important for negotiation, so if you learned how to listen from this article it will make you succeed in different areas in life.
The reason you don't listen during a conversation or a negotiation is mainly psychological, you always want to talk not to listen to bad news. (Know more about negotiation skills)
"Yeah, but"
One of the things that can show that you are a good listener, is to repeat some words from what you just heard and continue what you are saying, like someone is telling you "I played today soccer and scored 2 goals" you reply "2 goals, then you are a good player", one of the things that destroy good listening is to say the phrase "yes, but.." like replying saying "2 goals is good, but 3 is a hatric"
Many people who talk when their place is to listen, is out of nervousness and less in self confidence.
How to listen better
Your energy flow from your body through your eyes, your voice, hands, feet or body; it's better to let energy flow from your eyes better that your voice, leaning forward releasing energy through your eyes and listening harder is better than talking too much. Anxiety and nervousness come from flying thoughts in your mind, there are many thoughts you are thinking about, which make you distracted from the interviewer, this lead you to look away round the place, which is bad listening, keep focusing your eye contact to the interviewer.
Flying thoughts make your hand fidget and moves nervously, sit on your hands if it takes not to move it nervously.
Also your feet may tap too, this tap dance is really irritating, instead press your feet hard against the floor that will take all the energy flowing from your feet.
Flying thoughts can make you cross your hands too which will show that you are very unreceptive.
Your voice maybe too soft or too loud, make it at a middle rate and don't talk until this flying thoughts relax, say short sentences and short words.
Be aware of how you listen when anyone talks, try not thinking of anything when someone is talking to you and leave 2 seconds after he finish to see what will you say, say something that he just said and continue talking, don't worry you will find what you can say more accurately than thinking about the reply while she is talking.
The preconception
A preconception may destroy listening to someone, it doesn't mean that your opponent did something which is not acceptable for you, or means that you should judge her, judging someone prevent you from listening in a good way.
not expecting value in others
Not expecting value in others make your listening not that good, you should expect value in any contribution in a negotiation.
If you have something in hand, ask your opponent that you want to finish what's in your hand before the conversation, most people appreciate this.

This club is for small businesses that want to learn more about social media
This club has 3,854 members.
I have a variety of subjects that I deal with that are in totally different categories, i.e. cooking/recipes, parenting, being your own unique self, spiritual lessons, creative writing/script writing… Should I have a different domain for each or would a different page on the same blog work? Do I need a different domain for each book I have written/am writing?
That's a good question. When I worked for a company some years ago, there was a point during which management brainstormed to find new income streams. When some of the ideas got too far away from our main business, the director would remind us to "stick to the knitting." That's what comes to mind when thinking about this question.
I think much would depend on how generic the domain name was. On one generic domain, of course sub domains could be created for each category. But if the chosen domain name is too specific to a particular category, then I think less success will be achieved.
Just my opinion.
@deairby You could use an add on domain for each vertical that is different from your core. e.g. http://books.your-site.com (site for all your books), http://cooking.your-site.com (for all your recipes) and so on.
I agree with both @clusterwebdesign and @ptwylie .
Diversity is good, but too many unrelated topics on one site could be confusing.
Paul's idea of using add-on domains for things that are off catagory and placing links to those topics would work.
A) How do you find the time?
B) If you do have the time to write on such disparate subjects, I'd recommend different domains entirely UNLESS there's a overreaching theme to tie them all together.
Google tends to like sites with focus, and send less traffic to sites that are dilettantes.
@deairby When visitors land on your Web site page, you want them to find what they are looking for AND to take the desired next step. With such diverse topics, it may be less confusing to visitors if you have different sites.
A) I never sleep! @rich-brooks
Is a sub-domain the same as an add-on domain? @ptwylie @warrenveach
Subdomains are the third level domains that are used to organize your web site content.
They are just like folders under your root directory. But they will have a special URL to access.
http://www.yoursite.com is the regular URL with out a subdomain.
http://products.yoursite.com is an URL with subdomain "products".
Here the:
.com is the first level domainyoursite is the second level domainproducts is the third level domain
An add-on domain is just like having a separate web site.
[ consider your addon domain name as addondomain.com ]
There are 3 ways of accessing an addon domain:1. addondomain.com2. yoursite.com/addondomain3. addondomain.yoursite.com
Accessing the addondomain.com will display that very domain name in the address bar of their browser, so its similar to a separate web site.
@deairby It is possible to utilize a single domain for a variety of topics. An example of this would be Lifehacker.com as posts vary in topic, but have an overarching relationship to the purpose of the site which is providing tips to get things done. Sites like this also benefit from utilizing common CMS features such as post tagging and post categories to help organize content in a way that it can be filtered and/or searched so it can be accessed quickly and easily. Plus it provides an SEO benefit as well.
But as @rich-brooks mentioned if the topics you write about don't share that overarching theme, then perhaps grouping topics that do work well together into a couple of unique sites (possibly even utilizing second level or add-on domains) would be a better approach. Because a clear message as to the type of content a website is providing is definitely best.
"clear as mud!" no, really, thanks. The only real over arching thread is me and I'm thinking of getting my name as a domain then I could put the others under it. Do you have to buy sub domains or add on domains like you would a regular one? @sketchgraphx @warrenveach
@deairby You'll have to check with your hosting provider and see if the plan you have or will purchase from them includes the ability to add sub domains or add-on domains. Sometimes very low level hosting packages may not include the option to add additional domains to your primary domain name. Hope this helps!
@deairby Tell us a little bit more about what you want to achieve with each topic or book. Are you trying to sell actual books to people? If that's the case, get a domain name and create a landing page or a mini-site and optimize the bejeezus out of it.
Are you writing a blog, and you want people to know you for those things? Then create a single blog, with a short list of categories. Set the main page up so people can either click to read your entire blog catalog, or could click a button that will pull up only those posts.
Only consider subdomains if you're trying to drive people to a single site, like cooking.deairby.com. Even then, consider the mini-site as an additional traffic source that sends people to the sub-domained website.
Thanks for the feedback, Erik. So, here's what I'm looking at: I already have a multi-category blog (recipes, travel, tea, spiritual lessons, parenting) and have published a cookbook. The blog is named after the restaurant (The Baron York Tea Room Cafe) I owned (closed now). The cookbook has recipes and stories from the restaurant and a bit of history about my little town in the north Georgia mountains. I am moving away from GA where the restaurant was and moving to NC where no one knows who or what "The Baron York" is. The next book (The Flavor-Infused Life: Being Your Own Unique Self) is based on tea and what life lessons can be learned about being "your own cup of tea." After that, I've got a spiritual book/memoir (Holding on to God's Coattails) followed by a parenting book (Straight Arrows) since I have birthed! eight children with the same husband.Does this give you a picture of what I'm working with? The gift shop part of the tea room was moved to a consignment booth and may possibly become an online store when we move…(another website need). @erikdeckers
@deairby From what you have described above I would say that you should be fine with the multi-category blog you currently have for posting your thoughts on recipes, travel, tea, spiritual lessons, and parenting, especially if you are having success with it currently. No sense fixing something that is not broke and working well for you.
And I do agree with @erikdeckers that dedicated microsites/landing pages for promoting your other upcoming book releases would be the way to go, as this is now common practice for promoting all types of products and services. After all, the benefits of microsites/landing pages is that they are faster to design/develop, more cost effective, they are measurable when utilizing a unique URL, and they are focused, making it easy to point people directly to your product or specialized service.
Does this help clear things up a bit?
Okay, I'm going to be the fly in the ointment here.
I really think that the topics need to be shuffled and what goes together stays and what doesn't gets it's own site.
What I have learned about how people find you via google etc, is the specificity of your subject, title, description and keywords and when that site is 100% on "brand" with what you are talking about, they like it and in turn the public finds it too.
The more specific you can be in the name of your site, so it is original and stands alone, the better to attract the people looking for you.Susan
I agree w/ Susan, like topics together on separate sites. Depending on what your main domain is, would a subdomain (which are free) work? I have several general domains and use subdomains for sites within that niche. Otherwise using a different domain- especially if you want the SEO benefit from it.
What are your stats telling you? If you're getting plenty of traffic, then don't touch it, if not, well then tweak, make changes.
there a site w/ a free service that can give you quit a bit of insight about your site it's woorank.com. There's a whole bunch more that do similar things too.
Contact me anytime if you need more help or just want to brainstorm some solutions.
thanks, Kathy, I'll check out woorank.com @kathypop

Previously in "How I Would Have Done It", we discussed DC Comics' New 52 and how Superman could have been revised in a different way. It's only natural to follow with Superman's grim ally Batman, one of the most popular and recognizable heroes on Earth. The Caped Crusader of Gotham City, Batman was left relatively untouched by the new 52 changes save for Bruce Wayne's great-grandfather being involved with a secret organization known as the Court of Owls and the Joker given a Leatherface-like remodel. Lets take a look at Batman and how I would've done it.

Read MoreHit 1980s animated series Robotech has found new life in the tabletop wargame Robotech RPG Tactics.
Produced by Palladium Books, who has published Robotech role-playing materials for almost thirty years, Robotech RPG Tactics is a new game taking notes from sources like other tabletop wargames Warhammer 40,000 and BattleTech. Players will be able to delve into the Macross Saga of the series playing as either the invading Zentraedi forces or Earth's Robotech Defense Force using miniature models of mecha like Veritech Valkyrie fighters, Zentraedi Tactical Battle Pods, and Destroids. Crowd funded on Kickstarter in April, the game met its minimum goal in only a few hours of being made available and has raised over half a million dollars with over 2,700 backers around its halfway point. Since the beginning, Palladium has offered incentives for the amount of funds raised adding new mecha for additional purchase, upgrading the quality of game materials, and increasing the number of pieces released with purchased sets. The Kickstarter for the game ends May 20, 2013 with delivery estimated for December 2013.

With DC Comics reinventing itself again with the so-called new 52 following Flashpoint, they had the opportunity to inject new life and story elements into properties that a softer approach like Infinite Crisis and Final Crisis failed to present. The result was mixed: initially boosting sales, after months of publication the result was sales essentially the same as before the change (while angering many fans in the process, most recently with the WTF Certified month of releases). Perhaps a different approach could have offered better results and so I offer my own interpretation. To start with, lets take a look at Superman where his new 52 version has largely been altered to try and separate the character from its perception as a "boy scout."
Read MoreOn Saturday May 4th, comic book stores across North America will be giving out free comic books to anyone who steps into their store. Since 2002, the comic book community has got to take part in this event the first week of May and each year seems to get bigger and better. This year we will have a chance to get our hands on Marvel's prelude to their big summer event book Infinity written by Jonathon Hickman with art by Jim Cheung. Geoff Johns will also collaborate with Richard Donner and Adam Kubert to write Superman (being promoted as a good jumping on point). Brian Wood is writing a Star Wars book and Robert Kirkman is releasing an untold tale for the Walking Dead. There are also 48 other books to choose from. With 52 books to choose from there should be something you like.
Read MoreStory Tellers: Brian Michael Bendis, Steve McNiven, John Dell, and Justin Ponsor.
"Go Krutack Yourself," Star-lord said defiantly to his father—King of the Spratax Planetary system. The opening scene between the king and prince sets up two things very quickly; Peter Quill, the Star-lord is a rugged playboy and he doesn't think all that highly of his father. Now, I'm not up on Guardians at all. Outside of knowing of them I've never read an issue. I'd wager there are quite a few readers who are in the same boat and decided to pick up this book because it's being done by Brian Bendis and Steve McNiven and that sounds like a great pairing, to see what one of next summer's big comic book flicks is all about and/or there's a talking raccoon in it who has a large krutacking gun and goes by Rocket Raccoon. I'm assuming the usage of an alien language to guise the swearing is to give the book an edge and an attempt to play up the whole "these aren't your average superheroes," type thing. While its usage of the word throughout the book feels a little forced it doesn't hinder what is a good read and could be a very good series.
Read MoreGary Elya was a Marvel fan from back when the company turned itself around under the guidance of Stan Lee and Jack Kirby. With Gary's passing, his massive collection of comics is now up for auction with a veritable gold mine for comic collectors. Ranging from the Silver Age to today, just some of the pieces includes:
• John Romita Sr.'s Amazing Spider-Man run including the unmasking of the hero's arch-nemesis Green Goblin and the iconic "Spider-Man No More!" issue.
• The Amazing Spider-Man Drug Trilogy.
• Amazing Spider-Man #252 where the hero dons the black alien symbiote costume.
• The first appearances of Wolverine in the pages of Incredible Hulk.
• Giant-Size X-Men #1 featuring a new, international team of X-Men including Wolverine and Storm.

Recently, G.I. Joe: Retaliation hit theaters becoming number one at box office and having the second biggest Easter weekend opening in movie history. However, something was notably absent from the film's premier, namely a video game adaptation. In part, this maybe because traditionally G.I. Joe video games have been awful. The same was largely true of sister franchise Transformers until the release of Transformers: War for Cybertron (and its sequel Transformers: Fall of Cybertron). Both third-person shooters, the games borrowed from but didn't adapt any particular incarnation of its franchise. A rich story with a well thought out world and impressive gameplay, G.I. Joe would do well to learn from Transformers (the Batman: Arkham series another example of following a similar formula to much success). Lets take a look at what could be a winning formula for a good G.I. Joe video game.

After months of speculation, the third game in the Batman: Arkham video game series has been officially announced. Titled Batman: Arkham Origins and set for release October 25, 2013 on the PC, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and Wii U, the game is centered around Black Mask placing a bounty on the head of Batman bringing eight of the world's most dangerous assassins to come to Gotham City on Christmas Eve. A prequel to the first two games Batman: Arkham Asylum and Batman: Arkham City, longstanding rumors persist the Dark Knight will cross paths with heroes that later form the Justice League of America together. Reportedly, players will also have the opportunity to do battle with villains not generally associated with Batman on side missions. It's also being reported the map of the game will be twice the size of Arkham City as Batman will be able to adventure through Old Gotham (largely the setting of Arkham City) and New Gotham (seen from Arkham City in the distance in the previous game). There is some controversy that should be noted with this third game in that writer Paul Dini and game studio Rocksteady, who were the architects of the first two games, were not involved in the new game's development. Only time will tell what effect, if any, this new avenue will have with the franchise. Lets take a look at who could be some of the assassins that will try to collect on Black Mask's bounty.

Released in February 2013, Scooby-Doo! Mask of the Blue Falcon is the latest installment in the Scooby-Doo direct-to-video animated film series with this instance featuring Hanna-Barbera's Blue Falcon. Created in 1976 by Joe Ruby and Ken Spears as an analogy to Batman, Blue Falcon co-starred with sidekick Dynomutt in the series Dynomutt, Dog Wonder as part of The Scooby-Doo/Dynomutt Hour. Dynomutt, referred as Dog Wonder (a play on Robin the Boy Wonder), was a mechanical canine with features in the vein of Inspector Gadget (predating Gadget by several years), sharing further similarities in that their various devices malfunctioned at inopportune times. Alerted to danger by the Falcon Flash (in place of the Bat-Signal or Batphone), the duo slipped away to the Falcon's Lair (in place of the Batcave) to report to secret agent F.O.C.U.S. One (shades of Birdman's Falcon 7) and raced into action with the flying Falconcar (some amalgamation of the Batmobile and the Fantastic Four's Fantasticar). In the show's initial episode, the duo teamed with Mystery, Inc. in a fashion akin to The New Scooby-Doo Movies (which previously featured Batman and Robin as a somewhat pilot for Super Friends) as the group faced off with the villainous Mister Hyde. A frequent device employed in Dynomutt, Dog Wonder borrowed from the 1960s Batman television series featuring the heroes imperiled at the hands of their enemies though instead of leaving the cliffhanger at episode's end, it would be before a commercial break.

When animation fans want to see their childhood shows come to DVD to add to their collection, often one of two scenarios play out: a limited release by the owners of the material (holding the rest of the series hostage depending on sales of the first release) or a release of horrendous quality from a licensor of the material (sometimes even illegal bootlegs using VHS transfers make it to stores). Of course, such is not always true but is often enough to cause headaches for fans. Warner Bros has shifted to another tactic which seems to be working for the company. In 2009, Warner started the Warner Archive Collection producing DVDs made on demand using unrestored footage of its extensive film library sold directly to the consumer (cutting out the middle man in brick-and-mortar stores, thus slashing costs). Warner had previously operated the Looney Tunes Golden Collection beginning in 2003 followed by the Hanna–Barbera Golden Collection, later the Hanna–Barbera Classic Collection, beginning in 2004 (with The Flintstones: The Complete First Season) followed by the DC Comics Classic Collection the next year (with Batman: The Animated Series – Volume Three) making older series available in stores. These lines would be folded into the Warner Archive the year of its creation with titles like Yogi's First Christmas and The Flight of Dragons added to its made on demand catalog. It should be noted, the Tom and Jerry Spotlight Collection began release in 2004 and in 2011 the Tom and Jerry Golden Collection began release which at this time continues to be produced for in store sales. Lets take a look at the pros and cons of the Warner Archive Collection and what it could mean for the future of home video release.

Last summer, Warner Bros inked a deal with 20th Century Fox to produce merchandise based on the likenesses of the Batman television series from the 1960s. The advent is quite revolutionary considering both companies have gone back and forth over the franchise for decades with this deal being the first time since the show left the air that something new has been made from the material (save for replica miniatures of the show's vehicles). While as yet there are no plans to see the series make the transition to DVD or Blu-Ray, which is something fans have rallied to see happen for many years, the new deal gives hope of this. However, short of the series released for home video, fans will be happy to see the series adapted for comics starting this summer as a digital first title from the creative team of Jeff Parker and Jonathan Case (with covers by Michael Allred). Lets take a look at the genesis of the Batman television series, its cultural impact, and its legacy.

You may be aware of Netmums' drop-in clinic, but if you're not quite sure how it operates, this page aims to answer any questions you may have. The clinic is a really important part of our service to you, so we wanted to explain a little more about who looks after it, the kind of queries you can post there and how and when your questions are answered.
Here's a helpful summary to help you get a handle on what the drop-in clinic is all about, which we recommend you take a look at before you visit the forum. It's important that you're aware of the queries our trained Parent Supporters and Health Visitors are equipped to help out with, and those that we can't advise on, to help you avoid any unnecessary worry or frustration.
Our Drop-in Clinic is a dedicated family forum in our Coffee House, in the baby Section. Think of it as a virtual version of the health centre you have probably visited with your baby or child at some point. The advantage is that you can visit our clinic at any time, from the comfort of your own home, and we are able to answer questions on health issues of children of all ages, from babies to teenagers. If you are pregnant and have a query you can also pop in and post your question.
You'll need to be a registered Netmums member to post any queries about health problems or worries you may have. If you're not already a member visit our registration page to join the Netmums community today. If you are already a registered member you'll need to log in to your local site to post your question.
You can visit the clinic at any time - all of Netmums' forums can be accessed around the clock - but the Drop-in Clinic staff are only online at certain times. Clinic opening hours are as follows:
Monday to Friday: 9am-12noon & 7.30pm-9.30pm
Saturday & Sunday: 7.30pm-9.30pm
During these opening times, our Parent Supporters endeavour to answer as many posts as possible, so it's important to check back into the clinic again if you have posted outside of opening hours. Please be aware that may be a delay in getting a reply at really busy times or if you post outside clinic opening times, but we will get back to you ( in some cases it may be during the next time the clinic is open.)
As the clinic is open to anyone, you will usually find that other parents may respond to your post too, to offer you advice and share their own, personal experiences. You will be able to see if your post has been answered by one of our clinic staff as all of their responses are clearly tagged with our Parent Supporter logo, which appears on the top right of a posting.
You can post questions (or 'threads') on any parenting or family health related topics, including emotional and behavioural issues. For example, perhaps you're a new mum and you're having problems breastfeeding. Or you could be struggling with a fussy toddler who won't eat anything. Common pregnancy worries such as early blood loss or pregnancy week by week queries can also be discussed here, alongside issues such as allergies, child development and behavioural issues, potty training and tantrums. However if you have a more serious issue which we consider a medical emergency we will recommend you seek face-to-face help from a medical professional as soon as possible. Do not wait for a response from our clinic if you think your child requires immediate attention - always trust your instincts. Please read our section on 'Urgent queries' for further information.
We do ask that you try to just post about just one issue in each thread. This means that we can give our full attention to that one issue, and we won't miss important details that could become buried in longer threads that cover several questions. However you are more than welcome to then come back and post a separate thread on any other issue you would like addressed.
The Parent Supporters look carefully at each thread and then think about the best reply. In some cases you may just require a friendly ear and reassurance from our team on a matter of child health - it can sometimes be enough just to get your problem down in writing and to know someone is listening, offering unbiased and objective advice if you need it. We can share our knowledge and experience, both professional and personal, to suggest ways forward. Our suggestions may be practical, 'quick-fix' solutions, or we may offer you some thoughts and suggestions to think about. We'll include useful links and contact details for other helpful organisations wherever possible.
For issues requiring more expert knowledge, we can refer your questions to our specialist partners, including Relate, Citizens Advice Bureau and Women's Aid, who will then reply to your thread.
As mentioned previously, you will need to be a member of Netmums.com to post a question in the Drop-in Clinic. We'd recommend you take a look at our new user guide, which covers all the forums in our Coffee House, and covers frequently asked questions for 'newbies' to the Coffee House, such as what commonly used forum abbreviations mean, how to retrieve a forgotten password and how to find your latest posts.
To get started click on the Drop-in Clinic link in the Coffee House and click on the 'Post New Thread' link, in the purple box towards the top of the page. It's important to start your own thread for your own particular question, rather than posting your question as a 'reply' to a thread that has been started by another user. This way you can be sure we won't miss your question as it will be clearly displayed as a new thread on the main page of the forum. Furthermore, it might be that your query is shared by other members, so it's helpful for them to be able to read your question and our response.
Please enter a title (for example 'problems with breasfeeding') which will appear on the front page of the forum. Then, in the text box underneath, provide a clear outline of your problem or query. We want to be able to offer you advice that is tailored to your individual situation so please provide us with as much relevant information as possible. Details such as your child's age, how long the problem has been going on for, and whether you have already sought medical advice are all important, alongside any other relevant details such as other possible connected health conditions or allergies.
You can then check over your post before you submit it using the 'Preview Post' function at the bottom left of the text box, or proceed to 'submit new thread'. Your posting will then be 'live' and accessible to our Drop-in Clinic team who will be able to respond accordingly.
It is possible to post in the clinic - and indeed all of the Coffee House forums - anonymously, allowing you to post topics of a more sensitive or personal nature. Please read our User Guide to find out how to do this.You can also reply to other members' posts if you have tips and advice to share, by clicking on the 'reply to thread' link at the bottom of the page. If you wish to make it clear you are replying to a particular comment in a thread you can click on the 'reply with quote' option.
If you post during opening hours you may find your post receives a response almost immediately or promptly; if not, be assured our team will be working through the posts to answer as many as possible, as quickly as possible.
Our clinic is overseen by a lovely team of professionals, whose combined experience covers many years in the fields of nursing, healthcare and community work. In addition the team are mums themselves, so can share not just their professional knowledge, but their personal experiences, too. And it goes without saying that each of them understands how fraught with anxiety the parenting experience can sometimes be, so no matter how minor you think your query is, if something is worrying you don't hesitate to drop in to the clinic and share your problem with our wonderful team - remember that no problem is too small.
Read more about our team on our Parent Supporters page.
Please do be aware of the limitations of our service. While our professional advice can help with a variety of non-urgent child health problems it's important to bear in mind that we obviously can't see your child, so if you have any concern about their well-being you must seek face-to-face medical advice as soon as possible. For example, if your child has a rash it is impossible to make a diagnosis without examining the rash so please do not rely on our service to provide an immediate and conclusive response on how to deal with this sort of situation.
If your query is urgent please contact your GP, NHS Direct, NHS Walk-in Centre or nearest A&E department as soon as possible:
To find your nearest GP: Visit NHS Choices, where you can search for surgeries, hospitals, dentists and other services in your area.
NHS Direct - visit the website or phone 0845 4647
To find a hospital: Visit NHS Choices or take a look at your local healthcare listings on Netmums, which includes address and contact details.
Never underestimate your instinct - if you think your child requires immediate medical attention go with that instinct. You know better than anyone what your child is usually like, so you'll know what's different or worrying.
Use the following as a guide to identifying a medical emergency:
Call 999 if your child:
Take your child to A&E if they
Please take a look at our pages on Poorly baby - when to get help, Treating a Fever and Meningitis for more information on dealing with more serious problems.
