Why should we call our work Graphic Adventures and not comics?
Take anyone (doesn't matter if they read or not, but if you want more core results get someone who does)
and ask the very simple question: Without thinking, what is the first thing that pops into your head when someonce says comics?
The answer shouldn't surprise you. In general you should get Batman, Superman, Spiderman, Archie, etc. you get the point. Now look at your art table, con table, now unless you're drawing them (which you shouldn't, I explained why a while back on Lip Service) or drawing FOR them, what do you see?
That is what you're really competing against, a perception that has been in place for better part of a century, and had been exploited and ran into the ground by the mainstreamers to they where they aren't even trying to call their work comics anymore. Also, the negative connotation of comics and comic books outside of American society, hasn't changed much since the 50's.
Now, try this with the same person aske them what pops in their heads when you say "Graphic Adventures" and you should get a blank stare, know why they can't label it, and this is where YOU as the creator, now have a fresh canvas a truly open mind to where now you can paint your work in a even light, and this will work on those from within and outside comics, and let's face it, which would you rather face: a hard core comic book fan who can't see past Spiderman, or someone who doesn't have a predjudice thought, and would give your book a try? This is why you should start calling your work Graphic Adventures like we do, it can be applied to any work, in any genre.
Give it a try and see what happens.

49 issues of Dungar later, I had made ZERO inroads in that line of thinking.
"better terminology" is a lofty goal. Reminds me of when Jim Pack started up the newzine "The Comicist" to try to bring the term of the act of making comics as a hobby, to people. Some people liked it, some didn't. But here we are, and I bet now, this is the first time most of you reading this have heard that term.
I think, any time you try to present an idea on this level, you have to do it on a positive note. The presentation above is flawed by saying "calling your work comics is wrong" - no - it's not wrong. I have been making comics a long time. When a new person or parent of our kid asks what I do, I say I make comics…they do invariably say something about mainstream comics, and I then introduce the idea that I work completely as an independant, and the conversation then goes on to "how, how is that going for you" type stuff if they are interested, or, more often, talk about the weather cause they arent…lol. Telling a non-comics person that you make "graphic adventures" is solidly going to always be met with blank stares…no matter how many times you do it. What you are doing is trying to introduce the metric system to an inches and feet society. The only way to do that is teaching it to children from the start. So that's my 10 cents on the subject…interested to hear more people on it.

Good point, not to say , that it's wrong to use comics, just saying that when you use the term. Look at what you have to go through to get to you. ( Your explanation is a case in point) then also the perception of that as well. Even now there mainstreamers are getting away from using the term, due to the negative imagery from outside pop culture. They made the bed and now they don't want to lie in it.
The term "Graphic Adventures" really provides a short-cut through the static, if You say Graphic Adventures, people will say what's that?
Why? because they can't label they have no idea, and gives you a better opportunity to present your case, becuase now there's a blank canvas as it were for YOU to paint on.
The real barrier is perception and images, and trigger words. Comics is a trigger word, that in my opinion narrows the view to what is established (Them) and make it harder for YOU to be seen.

I can understand the concept of calling a comic something different to gain a new audience and I can appreciate your position on this. If you approach someone that does not know what a Graphic Novel is and you say "well it is a story drawn out in a sequential form with word balloons used for character expression", The very first thing they will say is "oh it's like a comic book".
It is simply the artform that some don't appreciate, no matter what it is called.

Comics were comics before superheroes. Comics are still comics no matter the content of the words or pictures. To get a non-believer of the term Graphic Adventure, to call a comic anything other than a comic…you would have to be the first person to EVER show them ANY comic, so that that was the term they used, and even then, other people are going to CORRECT that person when they say "I read a great Graphic Adventure!" and tell them, that's a comic, dude….and they will then go, oh, comic is a shorter and simpler word to use, and, everyone else recognizes it…so I should call it that or they will think I'm odd.
Yes, it's colored in peer pressure. But, I don't see any viable way to get the majority of people to stop calling comics, comics. It would be like trying to get people to stop calling tacos, tacos. Even if you put a fish in it, it's then a Fish Taco. You can brand it and call it a flurbermitt, people in any language they use, will call it a taco.
Webcomic guru
Even if you get someone to stop and give you that blank stare (which is actually something I try to avoid–why do we want to confuse our customers?), as soon as you explain or show what it is you're talking about, they're going to say 'oh, comics' and you're right back where you started, only now you've given them the impression that you're either
a) ashamed to call your work by the socially-recognized name of comics, or
b) trying to pull something over on them by giving it a new name.
I mean, even the term Graphic Novel still gets a lot of flack, these days, both within and without the industry, for trying to put a fancy dress on what is still just a long comic book. I gladly use the term to differentiate between long-form projects and my shorter strip-form comics, but they're all still comics: panels of sequential art that tell a story.
And while I'm on the semantics of names, Adventures has it's own connotations: Indiana Jones, the Odyssey, sweeping stories of epic proportions. While it can certainly be argued that life is a daily adventure, it's not what people are going to think of.

They'll say "pre-owned" or "pre-driven" just because of the mental impression "used" has. The same thing here. Just try it out for fun and see what happens, who knows, might get a chuckle or two. No one ever wants to be the first, but that when you corner the most, look at Apple with the I-pod everyone waited to see if they were going to fall flat on their face, and the rest in history.
I understand it schemantics, but look at how marketing those schemantics shape, and dare I say dictate the group mind of culture. something to think about.

People still CALL used cars used cars, no matter HOW the car seller companies try to dress up new terms for them. guys in the bar still say, yea I need a new used car, my old beater's had it.
When your teenager is looking for their first vehicle, they say they want to find a decent used car. No self respecting teen is going to say to the next, "I say, let's head to the pre-owned car lot"
If you want to map a way away from the use of the word comics…you need a more viable alternative. I mean even in music, people still call collections of music…albums. individual songs, tracks. The term MP3 is a descriptive, but I dont hear my kid saying, hey dad, listen to this new mp3. I could be wrong there, or it's more local to around here, but that's what I'm seeing.

I look at what I'm doing as a continuation of a long line of comics dating back to The Yellow Kid two centuries ago. Peanuts, The X-Men, Prince Valiant, Steve Ditko, even Rob Liefeld: it's all comics. Yay for comics!

Rod Jenkins said
Well Michael, most like to say comics, and yesr it's easier to say, but it comes with a connotation that support the mainstream, and the non-pop ideals, and it's too big a mechanism to fight or change. It is easier to build from a blank slate, than to fight stereotypes.
This'll also be my last post on the subject, don't want to keep dragging it on…
Maybe I'm just not understanding what you're saying, Rod (it happens). Your average person on the street doesn't even read mainstream superhero comics. When your average person on the street hears the term "comics", they'll most likely think of comics they read or watched sometime in their life, whether that's Cathy, Garfield, the Batman show, or Pokemon. I see nothing wrong with that. Newspaper comics, manga, indie comics, mainstream comics, Sailor Moon - it's all comics and anyone knows what I mean when I use the term comics. I think that's cool - that people think of comics that brought them joy in their life when I say I draw comics, because that's what I want to do with my own comics.
My thinking is that instead of spending time fighting stereotypes, I instead devote my time and talents creating awesome comics. The work should speak for itself. If, along the way, the work itself fights stereotypes, that's just icing on the cake.

That is what it is supposed to be, and I couldn't agree with you more. It has been our experiance of folsk having a pre-conceived notion, and then being taken for a loss when the see our work. Not all the time. We're just putting a bug in a few ears that may give folks a different way of doing things that may prove easier in getting their message acorss.

You have some darn good points, and you're right it just not the name, but the enviroment as well. Now in talking about the enviroment, let break that down even further.
Now with Marvel and DC (even before the rodents took them over) has conrtrolled the enviroment (Much like Hitler in my opinion) to where now that enviorment is nothing about anyone else , they have created a universe where no one else but a select few may participate. Now the also control the media, don't forget who owns them now.
What better way to predict the future? You create it and that's EXACTLY what they've done, a matrix like enviroment, and the indy's are the the rebels, fighting for the same spot, I say why bother? when you fighting a culture that has been cultivated for over a century, and the billions of dollars they have at their disposal, it is far easier to create a new culture versus fighting the establishment. History, has long recorded such look at the USA for one instance.
I know but even within the indy world, sometimes tried and true doesn't always work, and new paths and ways come into play. Still creating good stories, with the art, and quality are paramount, but they way it is presented needs to change, just like you said Jay would it have been cool to read a comic book in public? I say it still isn't, the only reason no one says anyhting is becasue folks are afraid of what kind of reaction might happen.

Bringing youthful readers to the work of indy creators is the only thing that will grow our field. The LAST thing I want to be doing is also fighting a battle to have them call the work Graphical Adventures, as well as just interesting them in supporting notoriously unorganized, here today, gone tomorrow, titles.
At this point, I think I need to see ONE OTHER PERSON besides Rod, who thinks starting to call comics, graphical adventures, is a great idea…anyone?
SPA Foot Soldier
While you're right by starting with the youth, however, in order to make it stick, older people have to start as well, even if its on a non-committal basis. Young folk will cath and latch on just becuase it something new and different and not old soundin'. and when marketed right the whole change can be affected. Just like Mervel and DC did. So can we, and it wouldn't have to take a boat load of money either.
I polled a few creators at C2E2 about the name change out of about 10 or so folks, (couldn't get more had to run the table 'n' stuff) it was about 50/50 with the those wanting to know more, and there's the hook (wanting to know more). One the primary things from Dale Carnegie " How to Win Friends and Influence people" (if you've never read that book I GREATLY suggest you do) arouse a want.
I know Ian you'd agree that creating a want is essential for independents, or anyone trying to sell a product. So notwithstanding comic readers can be a fickle and jaded bunch, it had been our experience when we approach people and say Graphic Adventures, their eyes light up becuase they've never heard of it and they want to know more (aroused want) and then, they might buy, at the very least we have their undivided attention.

Cool characters, cool stories, cool comics: bringing back Black and minority heroes!

While it is a mouthful, the wording is the basic essence of comics embellished a bit, comics are Graphic, stories are adventures are they not? So it is a matter of potato, potato, type deal. For us so many have told we don't produce comics and trying to "Fit In", it is easier to make our own path, a lot of times it is easier to plow apath on untrodden snow versus a path already trodden upon.

Spot on. Losing Hester, Davis, and Spaeth would have virtually no negative impact and would NET a $6.7 million cap space savings that could easily be better used elsewhere. The only one of those I'd consider keeping is Spaeth as a blocker but a pure inline/blocking TE isn't that hard to find nor is it expensive. We may already have one on the roster in Eldridge for conspiracy cheaper.
Assuming he doesn't retire, this is likely the last time Hester may still hold some trade value. TRADE HIM. Yes, I'd take a 6th and not turn my nose up at it.
not keeping Melton would creat a big hole on the DLine. We need him as pass rusher. If we let him go, I'd like to take a chance on Jason Jones
Grizz, for this early that's a pretty solid off season mock. I really like the idea of getting a LT in FA & drafting some inside guys. Well done.
Go Bears!
That right there is the weak link in the chain. Per his previous press conference, he explained how the plan was to grab a FA LT, but that some retired, some were signed and others were deemed as not being better than what we had (wonder if he had seen any film on Webb).
The very same sequence of events may happen this year. Any team with a potential LT FA knows that if they let him get to FA, we will probably go after him if he is any good. It might be even harder to find one this year. We pick at 20, so if he fails this year at LT, it could be ugly. That is a real possibility.
We really need a LT in FA that's the big piece. Worst case scenario we have to nab vollmer and give us a fighting Chance with 3 semi quality tackles for 2 to emerged better
If we miss COMPLETELY IMO we still build the interior via draft, we have more than one piece to replace and I'd rather have Webb be out there with a new G an or C or the future than reaching on a LT in round one, Webb being better and were left with at least 4/5 returning starters

Ali Brown is one of the wealthiest entrepreneurs in the country. She leaves her beautiful Marina Del Rey home to live on welfare wages in an impoverished area that's not all that far from where she lives now. Venice, California may be right around the corner, but it's a world away from the life she has at home. Let's get to know some of the people Ali meets as the Secret Millionaire.
Common Ground
Common Ground offers food, medical treatment and counseling services to young adults in need. Ali bikes down to the beach to dole out some snacks and invite
homeless folks to drop by the Common Ground house where they offer things like food and free teeth cleaning. Ali meets former meth addict Dre who turned his
life around thanks to Common Ground and his favorite staff member, Courtney.
When Ali returns to Common Ground, she reveals herself as the secret millionaire and hands over a check for $30,000. No one can believe it. Ali wants to make sure that the kids out there know someone cares for them. This moment brings both Ali and Dre to tears. Thankfully, they are tears of joy.
Bread and Roses
Tiana is the Volunteer Coordinator at Bread and Roses, a place where the homeless can make table reservations while dining in a restaurant environment. They
serve about 150 people a day. The bread signifies the nourishment while the roses promote a sense of dignity. Ali's never been a cook or waitress, so her
first day in the restaurant biz is quite challenging. It's also very rewarding when she sees how these meals affect the people she serves.
Ali is touched by everything Bread and Roses stands for. She reveals herself to be a very successful business woman as she hands over a check for $10,000. A tearful Tiana believes this donation is special because Ali saw what they do first-hand. She made a connection. And thanks to her donation, Ali also made a difference.
Beauty Bus
Beauty Bus is run by cousins who lost a loved one to a degenerative muscular disease. They bring "serenity, solace and smiles" to ailing people through
haircuts, facials, manicures and more. The organization provides service for both the person who is ill as well as his or her caregiver. Ali meets Harry, who
is suffering from ALS. He enjoys his service, but is so grateful that his niece is also getting acknowledged in such a special way.
Ali loved her experience as a beauty buddy. She reveals her true identity to the ladies who run the operation. The two cousins are blown away when Ali hands over a check for $10,000. Tears flow as the ladies give thanks for this truly beautiful day.
Harvest Home
Harvest Home is a Venice-based organization that provides shelter and guidance to homeless and pregnant women. The Executive Director is a woman named
Jennifer Jensen, who introduces Ali to new mom Erica. She came to Harvest Home when she was five months pregnant. If not for this place, Erica may have had
to put her baby up for adoption. Tiffany is another new mom who had nowhere else to go after she lost her job during the economic downturn. These stories
truly move Ali.
On a return visit, Ali is asked to watch a newborn baby. We learn there is only ever room for eight expectant mothers. To stay at the home, women must enroll in their education program. The place doesn't always know where they'll get funding. Well, that's no longer the case when an emotional Ali reveals her true identity. She hands Jennifer a check for $50,000. Tears flow, as both giver and receiver know exactly how much good this money will do for those who need it most.

Via Armin Medosh: Fields starts from the assumption that the changing role of art in society is one where it becomes a critical interloper in patterns of social, scientific, and technological transformations. The range of practices which were once subsumed under terms such as media art, digital art, art and technology, art and science, have experienced such growth and diversification that no single term can work as a signpost any more. Fields is about mapping those expanded fields of artistic practices which are contextual seedbeds for ideas and practices aiming at overcoming the crisis of the present, inventing new avenues for future developments by bringing together traditionally separated domains. Fields is about new ecological and transversal trends in art, outlining potential future trajectories for multifarious types of activities that merge politics, technology, ecology, gender, semiology.
Which Fields act as catalysts and underpin those artistic practices which offer the greatest potential for social change towards more imaginative and sustainable ways of living? Which pre-cursors in the last 30-40 years did exist and what can we learn from those often untold stories?

Audrey Hepburn on her side, Audrey overlooking city, Audrey with balloons, glam Audrey, Audrey riding a bicycle
[Welcome to the new column: Film Icon! Film Icon will feature movie stars who have left their fingerprints on film history, and will be accompanied by food inspired by the icons and their films. I am always interested in learning more about figures from the past, as well as finding new recipes to try. This column will be a combination of both. I hope you enjoy! - Lauren]
Audrey Hepburn was a true inspiration, both on and off the silver screen. To this day, Audrey remains not only a film icon, but a fashion icon, as well. Audrey was born in Brussels in 1929, and spent a good amount of her childhood between England and the Netherlands. Audrey studied ballet and did some modeling during her youth.
When Roman Holiday came along in 1953, Audrey shot to stardom when she gained popularity and won the Academy Award for Best Actress. Audrey decided to leave acting after a failed marriage with Mel Ferrer, with whom she had a son named Sean. She eventually went on to marry Dr. Andrea Dotti but this relationship did not work out either, though she gave birth to son Luca during their time together.
After a successful career in film, several miscarriages, and relationship ups-and-downs, Audrey committed her time to UNICEF as a special ambassador. Audrey spent the last years of her life with her partner Robert Wolders. In January 1993, Audrey died of cancer.

Series: Excerpts from "Evolving: Evangelicals Reflect on Evolution"
We need to hear stories from others who have wrestled with evolution and Christian faith. What arguments made them change their views on science? How did they hold fast to their relationship with God? The essays in this series will eventually comprise a book, provisionally titled, "Evolving: Evangelicals Reflect on Evolution."
Humanity as and in Creation
Christian theology asserts that humans are spiritual creatures, a unity of body and spirit or "soul," integrated, not reducible downwards to mere matter or upwards to mere spirit.
Searching for Motivated Belief: Introducing John Polkinghorne
Several times in my series of columns about "Science and the Bible," I briefly discussed a few ideas from John Polkinghorne, one of the leading Christian thinkers of our time. Although I presented him mainly as a representative of the "Theistic Evolution" (TE) view, much of his published work is about other topics, several of them largely or entirely unrelated to TE. It's time we got better acquainted with him.
Series: A Faith Journey in a Medical Science Career
(Needs a summary)
Dissonance and Harmony
People hold clearly discordant points of view, and it would be dishonest to ignore the conflict. Yet some voices emphasize the dissonance without any note of harmony to put it in context. Too often, science and faith becomes a hostile battle of worldviews, sounding angry, dissonant chords even among fellow Christians. But civil, gracious dialogue is possible.
Series: The Human Fossil Record
In this series, James Kidder provides an intriguing study on transitional fossils and the evolutionary history of modern humans. He begins by discussing the fossil record, explaining how new forms are classified. He then explains the physically distinguishing trait of humankind—bipedalism. From the discovery of Ardipithecus, the earliest known hominin, to the australopithecines, the most prolific hominin, Kidder focuses on the discovery, the anatomy, and the interpretation of these ancestral remains.
Science and the Bible: Assessing the Evangelical Encounter with Evolution
Having now completed our study of the five main views about "Science and the Bible" held by conservative Protestants, I conclude with a final column, assessing the whole situation as I see it today.
Series: Science and the Bible: Intelligent Design
In this series, Ted Davis identifies the history, core tenets and assumptions about the Intelligent Design view.
Series: Surprised by Jack: C.S. Lewis on Mere Christianity, the Bible, and Evolutionary Science
In this five-part series, David Williams responds to the book The Magician's Twin: C.S. Lewis on Science, Scientism, and Society by John West and the Discovery Institute, showing that C.S. Lewis was a very complicated thinker whose views are hard to line up exactly with any camp in the current debates over the compatibility of Christian faith and evolutionary science.
Surveying George Murphy's Theology of the Cross
If God himself is willing to die, particularly in such a gruesome way, then perhaps we should at least consider the possibility of God allowing the death of other creatures, too. But would this really be compatible with what we know of God through Scripture?
Series: Confronting Our Fears
In this series, U.S. Navy Commander Mike Beidler shares his own personal journey from accepting young-earth creationism to embracing evolutionary creationism.
Series: Behe, Lenski and the "Edge" of Evolution
In this series, we reexamine the claim made by Intelligent Design proponent Michael Behe to have found a limit to "Darwinian" evolution in light of recent results from the laboratory of Richard Lenski.
Growing in Faith
As he endeavored to learn more, David was intrigued by Francis Collins book The Language of God because Francis did not present evolution as a rival theory to Christian faith, but as something that described God's method of creation.
Willing to be Wrong
The debate is often not about evidence, but about making sure that others do not transgress our interpretive boundaries and insist that we're wrong. We've bitten from the tree of knowledge and we love its taste.
Series: Decoding ENCODE
The BioLogos Foundation explains to the findings of the Encyclopedia of DNA Elements (ENCODE) project and responds to the claims that its discoveries challenge the theory of evolution, especially regarding so-called "junk DNA".
Denisovans, Humans and the Chromosome 2 Fusion
The Denisovans, an extinct hominid group that interbred with modern humans, made the news again lately with the publication of a more detailed study of their genome. One of the many interesting findings was that the Denisovans share the same chromosome 2 fusion that modern humans have.
Freedom and Grace in Tennessee
Towards the end of the last school year, the Tennessee legislature passed the Teacher Protection Academic Freedom Act, a law that became more popularly known as the "Monkey Bill." I was doing research in a Tennessee high school biology classroom the morning that I learned that the bill had passed.
David Lack: Evolutionary Biologist and Devout Christian
Charles Darwin's personal struggles and ultimate rejection of Christianity are well documented, and people are eager to link his loss of faith to his evolutionary theory. David Lack, on the other hand, began his scientific career as an agnostic, but shortly after publishing his famous book on the evolution of "Darwin's finches", he converted to Christianity.
Series: Asa Gray and Charles Darwin Discuss Evolution and Design
Many Christians believe that they face a painful choice-- either life was designed by God or it is an evolutionary product of natural selection. Charles Darwin himself believed in this dichotomy, and people ever since have felt the need to "choose sides". However, looking back at history, we find that one of Darwin's chief scientific colleagues, Asa Gray, did not share this perspective. In this three-part essay, part 1 charts the relationship of Asa Gray and Charles Darwin. Part 2 describes Darwin's struggle with the problem of natural evil and design in nature, and part 3 explores how Asa Gray was able to embrace evolution without rejecting the idea of design.
Being Human (Infographic)
The BioLogos Forum is pleased to present this infographic about the current anthropological understanding of human evolution, which takes into account research into both physiological and cultural developments among our ancient ancestors.

According to Chief Ronald Dies, Eunice Police were alerted to the situation when they were informed that Charles Keith Runnels, 53, 910 Sittig Rd., was attempting to hire a hit man to kill two men who are brothers.
According to Dies, the alleged "hit" was retaliatory; Dies said Runnels believed the men were responsible for "snitching" on him, regarding narcotics charges that Dies said are pending.
Eunice detectives conducted an undercover operation using a Lafayette Police Officer to play the role of a "hitman".
Detectives had an intermediary contact Runnels and arrange for a hit man and a good-faith deposit for the killings; Runnels allegedly paid this intermediary several hundred dollars and arranged to meet with the hit man at his residence.
Police say the Lafayette officer posing as the hit man met with Runnels, while a hidden camera was used to record the proceedings.
Runnels allegedly gave the undercover cop the names and addresses of the men he wanted killed, expressing concerns about other persons who lived at the residence.
According to police, Runnels did not want the brothers' parents harmed, but he wanted the two men dead.
He is alleged to have stated later that he didn't care if the "hit man" tortured the men as long as he killed them in the end.
Police say that Runnels agreed to pay the undercover cop $5,000 each for the two murders. Runnels allegedly told the officer that he didn't have the money but had arranged to borrow it from a friend.
Following the meeting, police moved in and arrested Runnels and brought him to the Eunice Police Department, where he reportedly confessed to the attempt.
Runnels was booked and charged with two counts of solicitation for murder.
Dies noted that Runnels is currently on probation for a third offense Driving While Intoxicated and was wearing an ankle bracelet monitored by the St. Landry Sheriff's Office.
Runnels is currently being held without bond and Louisiana Probation and Parole has indicated they would be sending a detainer for Runnels, Dies added.
Dies stated that additional charges are pending.

OSWEGO COUNTY, N.Y. -- A Oswego County man is convicted for burglary and assault following an incident last year.
Sheriff's deputies say Michael Reitz, 35, of Sandy Creek broke into his ex-girlfriend's home in New Haven on Christmas last year. They say he broke into the house and assaulted the woman by throwing her on the floor and cutting her face with a knife multiple times. Reitz did this in front of the woman's three children.
He was found guilty of two counts of burglary, two counts of assault and three counts of endangering the welfare of a child. He will be sentenced in January. The DA's office says the motive of the crime was because the woman was apparently seeing other men.

The information comes from Craig when I checked on my order, it is the waiting thing ... I hate to wait!!!
Did I tell you I HATE to wait!!!!!

Sails, do you sit straight up in the saddle or kind of lean back against the butt pad? I'm 6' 3", inseam 32" and need a different windscreen.Can't decide whether to look over[better vision], or through the screen[ quieter, warmer in cold weather]. Just talked to my Harley buddy and he recommends the top edge of the screen to be right at eye level-you then look through it when it's nice out, but if it's foggy or raining, you can look over it. BillySails wrote:IT IS HERE!!!!!!!! A whole day early!!!
And it is installed! I had it shipped to my office and since we are finally having summer up here in Ottawa, I was driving the bike to the office anyways.
It arrived in a very big box at about noon and I had lost a part by 12:10! But it is installed minus one of the little spacers and it is great!!!!
The vent gives you a nice flow of air and it is directable up and down.
I bought the XXL since I have to deal with customs and duties and brokerage fees, I was only doing this once. If it was too tall I figured that I would cut it but if I got one that was too small I had no way to go.
After having tried the taller OEM one I leaned towards big and so far I am happy with the XXL.
I took it for a drive to try it out and other than having the top edge in my line of sight at times it is great.
For the most part I am looking through the screen but have no problems looking over the top.
The wind just hits the top of my helmet and I found that the vents seem to be working much better with the gentler breeze up there. Of course the front vent on my Sys-Max is going to be dead. This is made up for by my being able to pop my visor without the whistling and roaring that I had with the stock screen.
I had the bike up to 137 kms indicated, about 82 mph, and seemed to pickup some gentle back drafting above 130. It was rather gentle but I could tell it was there. I only did one longish high speed run and I did notice some buffeting as I came up through 122, it could have been just a cross wind that I went through on the highway out here.
So the vent, really nice job, works great, no jacket sucking or flapping, just a very nice gentle cooling positive breeze. The installation of the vent is very nicely done and dosen't look out of place.
I would recommend that if someone is ordering a Clearview of any size that they get the vent. It is well worth the added money and you might as well have the option of the air flow. I don't know whether you could add it to another wind screen or not, Clearview has done a great job with them.
It is bolted on but I wonder whether the curve of another makers wind screen would match up to the vent's curve. I don't have another Clearview to compare to see if they have changed the curature to match the vent.
There is larger than OEM hand protection but it doesn't stop all the bugs from commiting themselves to the great beyond, had one do a very messy job on my left hand at about 130!
Oh, sorry, for reference I am 6' 3" and wear pants witha 32" inseam. For the Canadians my costs were $322.09 Clearview and $85.10 to UPS on delivery for brokerage, GST and PST, all amounts are in Canadian dollars with the Clearview amount being $242.43 US @ 0.752680 for a total of $407.19.

U.S. Sen. David Vitter, R-La., showed neither in retaining an aide on his staff two years after the aide was convicted on three of five charges stemming from the aide's attack and stabbing of a former girlfriend.
Vitter was aware of the aide incident before it was publicized, but kept Brent Furer on his staff.
Furer resigned at Vitter's request — but only after a national news organization aired revelations of Furer's criminal record.
On that score, Furer seemed to be borrowing a page from his boss.
In 2007, Vitter offered a vague public apology for a "serious sin" in his past, but the senator's expression of remorse came only after revelations connecting Vitter with a prostitution ring.
Furer has had other brushes with the law, including four arrests for driving while intoxicated.
Two of those arrests were in East Baton Rouge Parish, where a warrant was issued for Furer for "failing to appear," according to court records.
In response to media questions, Vitter denied Furer handled women's issues on his staff, but several professional directories listed Furer as a point man on Vitter's staff for women's issues. Some of Vitter's constituents who sought Vitter's help with women's issues have reported being referred to Furer.
Someone with Furer's criminal background should not have been allowed to serve on Vitter's staff.
Furer's apparent handling of women's issues was particularly galling given his violently abusive behavior toward a former girlfriend.
Vitter's behavior is another source of embarrassment for Louisiana, and once again, it calls into question his judgment.
This latest scandal has become a campaign issue as Vitter stands for re-election.
It should be.
Vitter, a self-professed conservative, has positioned himself as a champion of family values and personal responsibility.
His actions show otherwise.

People watched as college basketball teams went head to head while raising money for the Golisano Children's Hospital.
Admission was $5 for adults and $1 for students with a valid ID.
Two girls who spent time in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit served as "honorary captains".
"During the first year of the event, they were able to raise nearly $3,000 which has directly been contributed to the hospital to essentially provide funds and toys and other entertaining items in the Onnie Wells Child Life Activity Room in the pediatric intensive care unit," said Michael Fahy, Assistant Director of Community Affairs. "So kids are actually smiling more than they were a year ago before this event started."
The tournament will end Sunday.

It's no secret. Enrolling kids in afterschool activities makes their lives more interesting and teaches social skills. Team sports like soccer, baseball, basketball, football, and hockey are favorite activities. But what about ballet?
Registration is open at the Nutmeg Conservatory for the Arts. Kids as young as four years old can be enrolled in pre-ballet programs at the Torrington School of Ballet (TSOB), a division of the Nutmeg Conservatory. And they can continue classes right through their senior year of high school.
Sit in on a class and watch the kids respond to Susan Szabo, children's ballet mistress and director of TSOB, as she introduces them to the movement of dance using rhythm, shape and self-expression. The 50-minute classes are long enough for the kids to learn the basic posture rules at the ballet barre, ballet steps fitting for very young children, and short enough to keep it fun.
There are some terrific advantages for the kids who take ballet classes at the Conservatory. For one thing, they are in the same building as the professional resident students from all over the world. They get to see some older students perform, which often inspires them to become ballet dancers too. There is not a Nutmeg Sugar Plum Fairy who just stepped on a stage and danced the part. She started out in a class for beginners too and learned her first plie before ever donning the darling costume and entertaining audiences at the Warner Theatre.
The kids are also introduced to the great ballets like "The Nutcracker," "Coppelia" and "The Sleeping Beauty," and the structured learning environment at the Conservatory helps them develop their social skills in a creative environment.
Okay, so you can picture a studio full of adorable little girls in their first ballet classes.
But how about the boys? What? Your son wouldn't take a ballet class if it was the last thing on earth left to do?
He'd rather toss a ball around a field than dance? Perhaps if we take a look at some of sports heroes who helped their careers by learning graceful moves in a ballet studio, he will change his mind.
Since it's Super Bowl season, let's stick to football. Start with Vance Johnson, former wide receiver for the Denver Broncos, known for his speed on the football field. And how about Akili Smith, former NFL and Canadian football quarterback who played for the Cincinnati Bengals, the Green Bay Packers, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Frankfurt Galaxy, and Canada's Calgary Stampeders during his illustrious career. NFL quarterback Randall W. Cunningham used ballet to help heal his injured back. His NFL credits include the Minnesota Vikings, The Dallas Cowboys, the Baltimore Ravens, and the Philadelphia Eagles.
Is your son convinced? Are you? I can tell you firsthand that sitting in on a class and seeing the pure joy on the faces of little boys determined to become dancers is exciting. Bring your 4- to 6-year-old to Nutmeg and enroll him or her in the pre-ballet class, or your 7- to 8-year-old in the Children's Ballet Appreciation program, and let them have fun learning to dance. Continued...
To register your child for classes or for more information, call The Torrington School of Ballet at 860-482-4413 or 860-482-7375.

text: The Packers believe Ryan Grant is a dependable, durable number one running back. Despite the belief the Pack is a pass first offense, Grant piled up 1253 yards on the ground with 11 touchdowns last season, cracking the 100 yard barrier only three times. He fnished third in the NFC and 7th in the NFL in yards on the ground and was a pro bowl alternate. The problem is, Aaron Rodgers was the second leading rusher on the team with 316 yards. While Brandon Jackson made strides as the primary backup and showed prowess as a blitz protector, he averaged only 3 yards a carry and caught 21 passes. Veteran Ahman Green's second tour of duty with the Pack saw him break Jim Taylor's all-time career yardage record but offered little else in production. He hasn't even been offered a contract for 2010. DeShawn Wynn was also jettisoned so the Packers will be in the market for some fresh legs in this weekend's draft. That's where we pick up with the latest installment of our draft preview series.

Some lawmakers want the newly eligible Medicaid participants to sign up for plans through the exchanges, with the state using its expansion money to cover the premiums for these folks.
Taking that route might mollify some Republicans, since it would increase the involvement of the private market, which they believe will help lower Medicaid spending. It could also prove beneficial for some Medicaid recipients, particularly those at the higher end of the income scale. It could give them access to more providers. Also, it could help them maintain consistent coverage if their earnings rise above the Medicaid income threshold, since they would be able to remain in the exchange and qualify for federal subsidies to help cover their premiums.
Reducing that churn -- Medicaid participants exiting and returning to the program -- would save states time and money.
But the proposal leaves open some key questions. Among the biggest is whether providing premium assistance on the individual market will prove cost-effective, said Sara Rosenbaum, a law professor at George Washington School of Public Health and Health Services. Covering each recipient through an exchange would cost the federal government an additional $9,000 per year, rather than $6,000 through Medicaid, according to Congressional Budget Office estimates.
Also, unlike in an employer plan, where companies pick up much of the premium cost, the states would be responsible for covering the entire individual premium in the exchange, she noted.
Precisely what the states are thinking remains to be seen. Lawmakers in Ohio and Arkansas said they are still analyzing their options. They're especially focusing on whether going through the exchanges will save the states money in the long run.
"It seems there's an opportunity with private insurance plans to drive costs down over a number of years," said Davy Carter, Speaker of the Arkansas House of Representatives.
Until states settle on their plans, it's hard to judge how well the program might work, experts said.
"The devil will be in the details," Alker said. "We will have to see how it unfolds. There are clear pluses and minuses."

Belief in God in an Age of Science: John Polkinghorne, Part One
The world is not full of items stamped "made by God"—the Creator is more subtle than that—but there are two locations where general hints of the divine presence might be expected to be seen most clearly. One is the vast cosmos itself, with its fifteen-billion-year history of evolving development following the big bang. The other is the "thinking reed" of humanity, so insignificant in physical scale but, as Pascal said, superior to all the stars because it alone knows them and itself.
Engaging Science in the Life of Your Congregation
With so many issues to discuss, Christians can easily get the feeling that science is always attacking the faith. It is essential to balance such conversations with positive responses to God's creation. After all, the primary response to the natural world in the Bible is to praise the God who made it.
Psalm for the January Thaw
God shows himself not just in the orderliness of nature, but powerfully, joyously and always surprisingly in its beautiful "non-order" as well.
Science and the Bible: Assessing the Evangelical Encounter with Evolution
Having now completed our study of the five main views about "Science and the Bible" held by conservative Protestants, I conclude with a final column, assessing the whole situation as I see it today.
Series: Made in the Image of God: The Theological Implications of Human Genomics
This series by Denis Alexander reflects on advancements in genomics as well as their theological implications. He focuses on the relatedness of hominin genomes, arguing that this does not interfere with the image of God in humans. The image of God depends more on the capacity for relationship and covenant, not on a list of particular physical qualities. He then discusses why the recent studies of genomics provide "no grounds for genetic determinism."
Series: Science and the Bible: Intelligent Design
In this series, Ted Davis identifies the history, core tenets and assumptions about the Intelligent Design view.
Series: Surprised by Jack: C.S. Lewis on Mere Christianity, the Bible, and Evolutionary Science
In this five-part series, David Williams responds to the book The Magician's Twin: C.S. Lewis on Science, Scientism, and Society by John West and the Discovery Institute, showing that C.S. Lewis was a very complicated thinker whose views are hard to line up exactly with any camp in the current debates over the compatibility of Christian faith and evolutionary science.
Surveying George Murphy's Theology of the Cross
If God himself is willing to die, particularly in such a gruesome way, then perhaps we should at least consider the possibility of God allowing the death of other creatures, too. But would this really be compatible with what we know of God through Scripture?
Series: Behe, Lenski and the "Edge" of Evolution
In this series, we reexamine the claim made by Intelligent Design proponent Michael Behe to have found a limit to "Darwinian" evolution in light of recent results from the laboratory of Richard Lenski.
Frenetic Sequence
We tend to think of creativity in terms of flashes of insight and brilliance, of novelty, and especially of unexpected things bursting upon the scene. But creativity is no less creative and no less remarkable when it proceeds step by step, according to discipline, according to rule.
Willing to be Wrong
The debate is often not about evidence, but about making sure that others do not transgress our interpretive boundaries and insist that we're wrong. We've bitten from the tree of knowledge and we love its taste.
Series: Decoding ENCODE
The BioLogos Foundation explains to the findings of the Encyclopedia of DNA Elements (ENCODE) project and responds to the claims that its discoveries challenge the theory of evolution, especially regarding so-called "junk DNA".
Stumble On
The song is built around the image of a river flowing through a canyon it has sculpted—an image that can easily be played out as a picture of the way that the Lord has been at work preparing a path for us in the material world, complete with signposts to his former and present activity.
Freedom and Grace in Tennessee
Towards the end of the last school year, the Tennessee legislature passed the Teacher Protection Academic Freedom Act, a law that became more popularly known as the "Monkey Bill." I was doing research in a Tennessee high school biology classroom the morning that I learned that the bill had passed.
Series: Asa Gray and Charles Darwin Discuss Evolution and Design
Many Christians believe that they face a painful choice-- either life was designed by God or it is an evolutionary product of natural selection. Charles Darwin himself believed in this dichotomy, and people ever since have felt the need to "choose sides". However, looking back at history, we find that one of Darwin's chief scientific colleagues, Asa Gray, did not share this perspective. In this three-part essay, part 1 charts the relationship of Asa Gray and Charles Darwin. Part 2 describes Darwin's struggle with the problem of natural evil and design in nature, and part 3 explores how Asa Gray was able to embrace evolution without rejecting the idea of design.
Series: Beauty, Science and Theology
It doesn't take a scientist to appreciate the beauty with which God has arrayed his creation. But scientists do have the opportunity (and training) to appreciate different kinds of beauty than do most non-scientists, whether they are ordinarily "hidden" in the extremes of scale, the elegant processes of an experiment, or in the abstraction of mathematics. Indeed the appreciation of various kinds of beauty has always played a critical role in motivating scientists to investigate the world, and in helping them decipher its workings. In the three-part essay, Ruth Bancewicz explores some of the ways beauty, science and theology intertwine.
Gracious Dialogue
Our desire to engage in gracious dialogue with fellow believers who reject biological evolution has been receiving increased attention in both the Christian and secular press. More importantly, we are being joined in this reconciling project by our brothers and sisters in Christ who have often been defined primarily as our "opponents".
What Does It Mean to Be Human? A Response to Bruce Little, Part 2
Trinitarian theology and the image of God are important, non-essentialist resources to help us think about the distinct place of humanity in creation.
The Questions Update: The Image of God
Over the last two weeks, the Forum has explored the imago Dei from various perspectives. Today's post features a preview of the updated Question, "How could humans have evolved and still be created in the ' Image of God'? written by Senior Web Consultant and Writer Deborah Haarsma.
The Broken Made Whole
There is a sense in which we look at Temma and we want to affirm that she is made in the image of God by denying that the image of God has anything to do with her physical, material body.

payasUgym.com now features one of the longest-established gyms in London, with the addition of Pinks Gym, located in a prime position on Carshalton High Street. Founded by husband and wife Peter and Patricia Pink in 1986, the gym began as a bodybuilding venue. Over the years it has expanded its remit, and now offers a large main gym for both sexes, with a smaller ladies-only gym which is also proving very popular.
London, UK (PRWEB) December 11, 2012
The newest facility at Pinks Gym is the eighteen-station cardiovascular suite, fully air-conditioned and fitted with the latest equipment. There are plenty of weights to go round in both the mixed and ladies gym, and the atmosphere is 'friendly but focused'. There is a small shop on site selling clothing and supplements at reasonable prices, and the gym is open until 10pm during the week to give plenty of time for a workout. A sound system throughout the building gives a good background to everyone's efforts without being intrusive.
'We are delighted that the long-established Carshalton icon Pinks Gym has now joined payasUgym.com" said CEO Jamie Ward. "Our passes give payasUgym.com users great discounts for the excellent facilities at Pinks Gym, with a day pass starting at under six pounds. Using gyms in London does not need to break the bank!"
payasUgym.com offers discounted passes to dozens of gyms in London, and hundreds throughout the UK. With a straightforward website and iPhone app, and no need to sign up for gym membership, buying a pass for a day, a month or three months is quick and easy. payasUgym.com allows users to try out a wide range of gyms, without committing to a gym membership which may be expensive and restricting.
Once users find a favourite gym, the longer passes allow them to get to know it better with the reassurance that they are not locked into a contract. This flexible system is also good for those who do not use a gym year round – for example those who travel a lot for work or pleasure, or have different commitments at certain times of year. Passes are delivered electronically so there is no paperwork, and a pass can be bought at any time of day or night.
This new way to get good deals on fitness continues to go from strength to strength - in the same way as its users.

We love munching apples this time of year. What are some healthy ways to use them as ingredients in meals and snacks?
Who doesn't love the taste-appeal of a crisp and juicy apple?
This fall favorite also supplies fiber, which helps promote digestive health and antioxidants called "flavonoids," which may benefit heart health and help keep body cells healthy. To get the most nutrition, eat apples with the peel on (wash well first, of course).
Eating apples "au naturel" is great—and so is using them in these meal and snack ideas:
Add diced apples to hot oatmeal with a few chopped walnuts and a dash of cinnamon.
Layer thin-sliced apples on a turkey and Swiss cheese sandwich for a pleasing crunch.
Snack on apple slices spread with peanut butter or topped with thin-sliced reduced-fat Cheddar cheese.
Add apples to a fall salad. Our current favorite is
Organics™ baby spinach tossed with diced honeycrisp apples, chopped pecans, sliced red onion and Open Nature™ Balsamic Vinaigrette dressing.
Serve apples in a dinner entrée. Your family will love
Pork Loin Chops with Cinnamon Apples
from our SimpleNutrition recipe collection.
Do you love pears, too? Try the unique flavor of
Red Pear, Onion, and Cabbage Salad
