Isn't it a great feeling when the points that are lost are handler errors, not your dogs . I always felt this was a good thing and learned from my mistakes. Great job on both your parts. Sent from my iPhone using Petguide.com Free App |

I bought this die strip because I thought it would give a masculine look to pages and cards. It certainly does that and it cuts precisely and removes efficiently from the cardstock. I am really happy with this product.

First time poster. I see a lot of Poz in Hull...the closing speed is very similar. On the hit on the QB yesterday (god, that was a great hit), Hull was on him so quick the QB couldn't react and this reminds me of those clips from the 2005 season when Poz consistently appeared to surprise the opposing players with how quickly he recognized the play and was on the ball carrier. Not saying Hull is Poz (he clearly has a long way to go and needs consistent playing time), but the potential is there.
Two other quick points: (i) I am so proud (if that is the right word) of Mauti after all he's been through; guy is playing inspired and productive football and is a man among boys. Hope he keeps it up; and (ii) I think our young DEs can be a strength for the next few years (Barnes, CJ, Z); we'll see how they handle B10 competition.

"This card is great for that mom to be that isnt really the type for the cutesy designs or the ultra mod pregnant lady in heels with a shopping bag or walking her dog. It is very clean and the bright green colors are gorgeous against the crisp white background. Paper quality is nice and thick. All in all a great, simple and clean card!"
"This card is beautiful and everything I expected! The paper quality is thick and sturdy, the photo on the back came out wonderfully, and the colors are true to the image you see on the computer screen. I would definitely recommend!"
"I used this for my friend's baby shower. She loved the card and the colors. This card is great especially since we were still debating what theme she wanted. With this card we can decorate her actual shower in any theme. Good quality heavy stock paper. The photo turned out great as well."
"I ordered this card for my friend's baby shower and we were all thrilled when we opened our mail! Cute design and we were able to include all our needed info. I really enjoy the service that includes a REAL person personally checking the product before it goes to press. I also submitted addresses so Tiny Prints could mail our invites. I was very happy with the quick turnaround and timely delivery!"
"would just like a bit more ease of use when putting in the text to be able to see exactly how it will look - i thought the text came out a bit too small,"

Shooting Investigation-valiant circle
On Thursday, December 18, 2008 at approximately 2045 hours, Senior Trooper D. S. See received a call for service from State Police Communications in Charles Town regarding a fight in progress with shots fired in the 500 block of Valiant Circle, in the Springer Run Mobile Home Community located off Back Creek Valley Road within Berkeley County. While traveling to this location, Senior Trooper See was advised that two males were engaged in a physical altercation and several shots had been fired. Senior Trooper See was further advised one male subject was believed to be injured possibly suffering a gunshot wound.
Senior Trooper See, Senior Trooper J. D. Schuessler, and Trooper W. M. Roden arrived on scene at approximately 2100 hours. Senior Trooper See made contact with Mr. Kerns, the park manager, who advised the victim was inside his residence located at 533 Valiant Circle, and the suspect was believed to be inside his residence located 523 Valiant Circle. Senior Trooper See observed a female standing in the front yard of the residence located at 523 Valiant Circle and identified her as Robin Diehl, wife of the suspect. Ms. Diehl advised her husband was involved in a fight with the neighbor, Larry Kidd, and consequently obtained a shotgun from inside the residence and fired several shots. Ms. Diehl further advised her husband, Hugo Diehl, had fled the scene in a 1992 Chevrolet truck possibly en route to his mother's residence in Waynesboro, Pennsylvania.
The aforementioned Troopers proceeded to clear the residence to ensure Mr. Diehl was not present. After determining Mr. Diehl had departed the residence, Senior Trooper See made contact with the victim, Larry Kidd. Mr. Kidd advised he went outside to start his truck so he could inflate the tire. Mr. Kidd further advised Mr. Diehl came outside his residence with a pair of nun-chuks and proceeded to strike his vehicle causing damage to same. Mr. Kidd stated he got out of his truck and Mr. Diehl struck him in the head with the nun-chuks. Upon being struck in the head, Mr. Kidd said he threw Mr. Diehl on the ground and took the nun-chuks from him. Mr. Diehl then went inside his residence and obtained a pump style shotgun and returned outside firing three shots at Mr. Kidd. Mr. Kidd was not struck by any of the shots fired by Mr. Diehl. Mr. Kidd advised he ran around his trailer into the residence of his neighbor.
Senior Trooper See observed a laceration on the left side of Mr. Kidd's head as a result of being struck by the nun-chuks. Senior Trooper See also observed three twelve gauge shotgun casings in the driveway of Mr. Kidd's residence and the pair of nun-chuks was located inside Mr. Kidd's residence. Senior Trooper See and Senior Trooper Schuessler processed the scene and collected the evidence. Senior Trooper See will be charging Hugo Henry Diehl with wanton endangerment and malicious wounding with arrests forthcoming.

• Review: PW on Ulli Lust's Today is The Last Day of the Rest of Your Life "Her recollections willfully expose the dark side of an anarchic lifestyle, yet are void of any didactic embellishment, and instead form a genuine and nonjudgmental look at aimless youth and rebellion. And what's truer to punk than that?" –Publishers Weekly

Category >> Ben Catmull The most delicious 50% candy so let's eat our feelings of Online Commentaries and Diversions: • Plug: The Advocate lists Julio's Day as great gift. "[Julio's Day] is a remarkable literary work that compresses 100 years into 100 pages and demonstrates how dramatically life changed for gay men between 1900 and 2000." –Jacob M, The Advocate • Plug: The AV Club lists Julio's Day at #8 of the top 10 Graphic Novels and Art Comics of 2013. "Comic books have a unique way of evoking the passage of time within static images, and Gilbert Hernandez is a cartoonist that is keenly aware of how he can use the medium to manipulate that chronal flow." –Oliver Sava, The AV Club • Review: Julio's Day on Comic Pusher "This is a fantastic book, yet another example of a master cartoonist at work, an excellent representative Gilbert Hernandez for those unfamiliar with him, and a fine addition to the library of those who have grown with his work over 30 years." -Jeffrey O. Gustafson, Comics Pusher • Review: Maria M. by Gilbert Hernandez on Page 45: "Crime and punishment executed with rapidfire, bullet-point precision...The cartooning is, as ever, an immaculately clean and balanced black and white joy, the expressions are exquisite and the breasts, they are humungous." -SLH, Page 45 • Plug: Maria M. "More than 30 years into his career, there's no stopping Gilbert Hernandez..." -Tom Murphy, Broken Frontier • Plug: GNR takes a look at Gilbert Hernandez's The Troublemakers: "I found the book to be engrossing, compelling, and a lot of fun for both noir and comics fans." -Sterg Botzakis, Graphic Novel Resources • Review: Best of 2013 on Comics Pusher "Obviously this was the year of Gilbert Hernandez…Gilbert filled the void of singular marquis comics with no less than five stunning works, collectively casting its own literary shadow for subsequent generations to wonder at. Someday you can tell your grandchildren that you were alive when the Hernandez Brothers were creating comics, and when Gilbert owned 2013." –Jeffrey O. Gustafson, Comics Pusher • Review: Comic Book Bin looks at Love and Rockets: New Stories #6 "Here, both [Jaime and Gilbert Hernandez] are like great athletes that use human growth hormone (HGH) to extend their peak performance into middle age. Los Bros. have found creative and artistic steroids, as they are producing Love and Rockets comics that are as good as they've ever been. Or maybe genius never gets old and keeps producing all-star work." –Leroy Douresseaux, Comic Book Bin • Review: "Love and Rockets continues to be a vital and important ongoing document of two creators at the absolute height of their powers, and the only venue to read new material from Jaime. The brothers' respective works, their respective worlds, stand alone - but in Love and Rockets we get the privilege of experiencing jolts of both, alternating between brother and brother, between greatness and greatness." –Jeffrey O. Gustafson, Comic Pusher • Plug: Love and Rockets Companion is examined on VICE "Love and Rockets is a great comic that has been around for 30 years now and the characters in the book have aged in time with us... This book's dust jacket, which unfolds into a family tree, will help sort you out if you're like me and can't keep the characters straight" -Nick Gazin, VICE • Review: Grovel checks out Maria M. "Love and Rockets fans shouldn't be without this, but anyone else with an interest in sharp, sexy, violent but sophisticated stories can still enjoy it for what it is: a B-movie homage that takes the genre above and beyond our expectations." -Andy Shaw, Grovel • Plug: The Omnivoracious lists Love and Rockets the series as part of the Lambda awards "These are life stories, told as life unfolds-with humor, heartbreak, and perseverance" –Alex Carr • Plug: Paste lists The Love Bunglers on the Most Anticipated comics of 2014! "Any time a collection of Jaime Hernandez's Maggie (and/or Hopey) stories is published, it's cause for celebration." -Hillary Brown, Paste • Review: Wandering Son 6 by Shimura Takako "in Wandering Son, Volume 6 so many parallels are made between Shuichi and Takatsuki's real life and the very deliberately crafted Romeo and Juliet production.... It may not be a particularly subtle narrative technique on Shimura's part, but it is a very effective one. The play echos their experiences, emphasizing specific aspects of their lives and relationships not only for the characters, but for the readers as well. Wandering Son continues to be an absolutely wonderful series." –Ash Brown, Experiments in Manga • Plug: The Advocate lists the Wandering Son series "An amazing series, Wandering Son offers an unusual glimpse into the lives of gender-nonconforming kids. Suitable for readers 13 and older and engaging enough to keep readers of all ages impatiently awaiting next year's Volume 5." • Review: The Chicago Tribune looks at Carl Barks' Donald Duck: Christmas on Bear Mountain. "Ridiculously, infuriatingly, this is the first time the work of America's finest cartoonist (his only real competition being George Herriman, Walt Kelly and Charles Schulz) has been reproduced with the care and splendor it deserves. Imagine if Duke Ellington's recordings were only now being properly remastered and collected." – Michael Robbins, The Chicago Tribune • Review: Donald Duck: Christmas on Bear Mountain "Carl Barks is one of those truly perfect cartoonists. It feels so good to have these books with beautiful Fantagraphics quality production sitting on my shelf...You'll get sucked in." –Nick Gazin, VICE • Review: SLJ on Donald Duck: Christmas on Bear Mountain "Barks's Disney comics were and are enormously well crafted and equally enormously entertaining, timeless comedy adventures that Fanta presents in such handsomely designed volumes that they make the perfect gift for just about any reader of comics." –J. Caleb Mozzocco, School Library Journal • Review: Donald Duck: Christmas on Bear Mountain "Scrooge is a lot grouchier, bitter and ill tempered than his later incarnations and closer to the Dickens persona rather than Bark's character...whenever I bring up the subject of ducks with my comic book pals, they look at me a-scant but I highly recommend this fabulous collection from Fantagraphics that celebrates the life and prodigious body of work of the Dean of Duckdom, the irreplaceable Carl Barks." –Chris Marshall, Collected Comics Library • Review: "Newave! Underground Mini Comix of the 1980s might be the largest mini ever made. Edited by Michael Dowers, this fat collection features some of the best minis of the day."–Chris Auman, Sound on Sight • Plug: Atomichearted Boy looks at The Treasury of Mini Comics, edited by Michael Dowers. "Mini comics are like the wild west of the comics world - in this lo-fi, DIY formate - it's anything - and everything - goes."–Benn Ray, Atomic Books • Review: The Secret History of Marvel Comics by Blake Bell and Doc Michael J Vassallo "…this book expands our understanding of the publishing industry context in which those comics were produced, and it gives us an unprecedented portfolio of non-comic book art from some notable comic book artists." -John Hilgart, The Comics Journal • Review: "what's been unearthed here (much of it never reprinted) is both visually and historically stunning…The Secret History of Marvel Comics is a stunning book (in more ways than one) of beauties, beasts, and bombast, as well as a wonderfully askew look at the Precambrian Era of Marvel Comics." –KC Carlson, Comics Worth Reading • Interview: Bomb Blog asks Stephen Dixon about His Wife Leaves Him: "Yes. I wanted most of the novel to be in his head. For this, he has to be lying back in bed with his room dark and his eyes closed, remembering things in their marriage. Of course, there is action in the dream. There's movement, I should say. It's a very interior novel." -Dixon Review: David Evanier looks at His Wife Leaves Him and Stephen Dixon in general. "Stephen Dixon is, in my opinion, the best and most overlooked American Jewish fiction writer in the country. If I left out "Jewish," he would still be the best."–David Evanier, The Jewish Book Council • Review: Publishers Weekly gives His Wife Leaves Him a starred review: "A peek into the private world of their marriage proves the novel to be more than the sum of its parts as the reader is granted a panoramic view of the evolution of two characters and their relationship." • Interview: James Fleming writes a very nice intro to Dixon's His Wife Leaves Him and includes some email correspondence with him on Burrow Press. "How do I even begin to explain how Dixon--though we've never met in person and I've never taken a writing class with him--effectively taught me nearly everything I know about short-story and novel writing." • Plug: Burrow Press Review puts up an excerpt from Dixon's His Wife Leaves Him. Enjoy. • Review: Goddamn This War! on FPI Best of 2013 list: "Tardi's burning rage at the injustice and immorality of what was done to so many is undimmed by the passing of time, and as we enter the centenary year of the start of that awful war this work becomes even more vital for readers." –Joe Gordon, Forbidden Planet International • Review: Goddamn This War! "Jacques Tardi is a one of the most versatile cartoonists to ever lift a pencil...We descend into Hell with these soldiers, live their unbelievably intense live, and are inexorably and subtly changed by the experience. That is the power of great Art. That is the power of the great Jacques Tardi." –Jason Sacks, Comics Bulletin • Plug: Goddamn This War! made Mark Burrier's Best of 2013 list. "Besides the meticulously-referenced artwork, Tardi painted these panels using inks and they are gorgeous...Kim Thompson did a bang up job translating this. The narrator is recounting what it was like during WWI and the tone holds up well to translation." -Mark Burrier • Review: PW on Ulli Lust's Today is The Last Day of the Rest of Your Life "Her recollections willfully expose the dark side of an anarchic lifestyle, yet are void of any didactic embellishment, and instead form a genuine and nonjudgmental look at aimless youth and rebellion. And what's truer to punk than that?" –Publishers Weekly • Review: Today is The Last Day of the Rest of Your Life "There is a rejection of the organization of the world, from organized faith to organized crime. It is about the pursuit of nihilism as a route to integrity. Ulli Lust has the intelligence to look at her life and make a book of it." -Eddie Campbell, The Comics Journal • Plug: Today is The Last Day of the Rest of Your Life makes Froh's Best of 2013 list "Coming of age that makes you squirm. Beautifully drawn story depicted with a punk touch." -Kelly Froh, Atomic Blog • Review: Ghost and Ruins by Ben Catmull on NY Journal of Books: "For those who like their horror with more then a hint of detached humor, Ghosts and Ruins is the perfect book to leave out at both Halloween and Christmas. These are wonderfully scary stories drawn and told with such beauty and wit you regret when they end. " –Mark Squirek, NY Journal of Books • Review: Ghost and Ruins by Ben Catmull on Famous Monsters: "If Escher and Gorey met in Maurice Sendak's house and decided to riff on Junji Ito manga, you might have something similar to these pages…All fans of black and white horror movies owe it to themselves to hunt this down and subsequently cower under the covers like a kid in the cold." –Holly Interlandi, Famous Monsters • Plug: "Ghost and Ruins will satisfy your craving for dark and creepy, yet beautiful drawings of - you got it - ghosts and ruins!" –Jade, Librarie D&Q • Review: On Richard Sala's Violenzia "Sala takes the conventions of Golden Age comics like Dick Tracy and The Shadow and [modernizes] them for the digital era" –HTML Giant • Review: Richard Sala's The Hidden. "There's no mistaking a panel of a Sala comic for a panel of anyone else's comic...it is probably his grandest and most epic in terms of scale, and it's full of suspense, mystery, horror, violence and a perhaps surprising amount of action..." –J. Caleb Mozzoccoo, Every Day is Like Wednesday • Review: Katherine Whaley receives a Starred Reviewi n Publishers Weekly: "a parade of 20th century American philosophical fads, particularly those rooted in the entertainment business, pseudoscience, commercialized spiritualism, and general quackery. The story is earnestly told from Kate's wide-eyed perspective and achieves a tone that emphasizes the multifaceted nature of human experience." • Interview: Brian Heater of Boing Boing interviews Kim Deitch about Katherine Whaley on the Recommended If You Like podcast. • Review: Barracuda in the Attic by Kipp Friedman on Boswell Book Company "Growing up as one of three sons of the writer Bruce J. Friedman, they had adventures many of us can't imagine... Kipp's upbringing does resonate with me more than just another New York story..." -Daniel Goldin • Plug: Willard Mullins' Golden Age of Baseball edited by Michael Powers and Hal Bock in the NY Daily News. "Mullin was a treasure and so, too, is this book." –Bill Madden, NY Daily News • Review: Willard Mullins' Golden Age of Baseball gets reviewed "Through the eyes of someone like Mullin, with his graceful portraits of folks like Babe Ruth and Stan Musial, the sport seems thousands of years old. An artifact. A time capsule… This is a beautiful-looking book, thorough and affectionate in its treatment of the cartoonist Willard Mullin and his coverage of the sport for which he is best known: baseball." -Tom Spurgeon, The Comics Journal • Plug: "...we get to watch Charles M. Schulz's cast evolve, along with his simple yet lyrical line. [Peanuts Every Sunday] is a complement to Fantagraphics' continuing and indispensable 'Complete Peanuts' publishing project." -Dana Jennings, NY Times • Plug: Westfield Comics on Peanuts Every Sunday. "If Peanuts Every Sunday isn't under your Christmas Tree this year, put aside some of your Holiday 'loot' (as early Schulz might say) to make sure you pick it up as soon as you can. You won't regret it. It's the kind of gift book I'd be getting for Grandma Lil, if she were still around" -KC Carlson, Westfield Comics

With Halloween looming, allow me to suggest thirteen frightening favorites from Fantagraphics Books. Spooky fun for everyone, in no particular order. Daniel Clowes' modern masterpiece Ghost World eerily conveys the otherworldly cool of 1990s counterculture. Peculia, by Clowes colleague Richard Sala, collects the misadventures of the precocious protagonist of his Evil Eye comic book serial. Northwest native Charles Burns' essential Big Baby anthology of contemporary horror comix includes classics like "Blood Club," "Teen Plague," and "Curse of the Molemen." Mysterious Traveler collects proto-psychedelic horror from Steve Ditko's Charlton era. Similarly, Weird Horrors displays the late, great Joe Kubert's pre-Code classics edited by Kubert scholar Bill Schelly. Wally Wood weighs in with Came the Dawn, featuring timeless tales from the "Vault of Horror," as well as mid-century socio-political nightmares like "The Guilty." Ghosts and Ruins is a Ben Catmull collection of exquisite depictions and descriptions of haunted dwellings. Read it with Josh Simmons' disturbing anthology The Furry Trap. Other favorites include Folly by Hans Rickheit, Isle of 100,000 Graves by Jason, Thomas Ott's wordless wonder Cinema Panopticum, Jimbo's Inferno by the great Gary Panter, and finally, from the master of macabre, Gahan Wilson: 50 Years of Playboy Cartoons. Boo! I'm going into this hoping that less is more and that a little convention report goes a long way with most folks. I know that's true of myself. I have yet to meet a comic book convention that I want to read more about than, say, WWI, despite how many con reports endeavor to prove me wrong. What I'm really saying is, I didn't take as many pics as I should, especially as the weekend wore on. I flew down Friday afternoon, this time attended by my girls (wifey Rhea and 5YO child unit Clem), which was a rare treat for me. It wouldn't be APE without a kickoff party at the "offices" of the House that Ron Turner Built, a.k.a Last Gasp, so we began there. In a vast warehouse of thousands of filthy, filthy books (I mean that most affectionately), my little girl zoomed in on this book like she was a dog working for the DEA and this was a brick of high grade hash that someone abandoned hastily during a raid of the premises: BOO: THE LIFE OF THE WORLD'S CUTEST DOG features back cover endorsements from Nicky Hilton, Khloé Kardashian, cuteoverload.com and "Facebook Fan." Of course we bought it for her. Sometimes I wonder what would have happened if Gary Groth had had a daughter. I could have spent the rest of the weekend taking pictures at Last Gasp. It is one of my favorite places in the world. It gives me MAJOR WORKPLACE ENVY. Fantagraphics is a wonderful place but we don't have Binky Brown's coffin on the wall (although our inventory manager, Martin Bland, has a very similar Jack-in-theBox): Anyway, the always totally awesome Kristine Anstine showed Clem the toy section while Mommy and Daddy enjoyed the party a bit more... Kristine, however, continued to take orders throughout the party because she's a PRO (take note: this will come up again later). Before we took leave, the great Ron Turner himself gave us a tour of his "private stash". I love and respect Ron immensely and really admire the empire he's built. His collection of cool shit is nonpareil. From Last Gasp, we kept on truckin' (hyuk) to Mission Comics for onetime MOME contributor Malachi Ward's exhibition. Which was great, but you'll have to take my word for it, because I'd had two IPAs by that point and forgot to take any more photographs. APE kicked off on Saturday morning at 11AM after a couple hours of set up. This will be my own little "panic room" for the next 36 hours or so: Here is our first customer of the day, Brian Herrick, a fine cartoonist in his own right, with equally exceptional taste. I believe he is the first person in the world to take home a copy of Julia Gfrörer's BLACK IS THE COLOR. With great power comes great responsibility, Brian. I was so excited for you I couldn't hold the camera straight. Remember when I mentioned Kristine Anstine being a true PRO? Well, here's another. APE Special Guest Bill Griffith dutifully worked on not one but two ZIPPY dailies behind our booth all weekend, in those rare moments that no one was asking him if he was having fun yet. Now that's a pro. Always working. I asked Bill if he ever got tired of drawing (something I've heard more than once from cartoonists who have been at it a lot less time than him). He matter-of-factly and without missing a beat answered, "No." PRO, I TELL YOU: Here, Mark Kalesniko and Jesse Reklaw sign copies of their books at the Fanta tables. More PROS! But let's examine this scene closer and note just how well Jesse has perfected his "come hither" look at conventions, it's really something: I mean, is it any surprise that Jesse's COUCH TAG was our bestseller at the show? With those eyes? Always good to see friendly faces at shows, such as our pals Pete Maresca of Sunday Press and Martha Oresman from TWP. I have no funny jokes to make about these very nice people: I think Ben Catmull is vowing revenge on someone in this picture, while Graham Chaffee and Justin Hall slowly attempt to back away: Can you tell I'm running out of steam? I'm thinking of trying to get a blurb from cuteoverload.com for this one:
Here is my APE stash. I didn't get a chance to do any proper shopping this year, but thanks to generosity of many of my fellow exhibitors, I managed to come home with an impressive haul. Which reminds me, did anyone else notice the spine of this month's issue of THE BELIEVER?: There were so many old friends at APE that I didn't get a chance to take a photo of, like Jim Blanchard, J.R. Williams, Pat Moriarity, and Renée French. I was too busy closing deals. ABC! ALWAYS BE CLOSING. What can I say? I, too, am a PRO. Anyway, let me leave you with this cuteoverload.com-worthy piece by Graham Chaffee: Holy yes-more-please, SPX rocked us. Jacq Cohen, Gary Groth and I traversed across the country for one of the single best comic books shows that exists. We knew it was going to be quite the fun time when we boarded the plane and saw Joseph Remnant. A small favor to stranger later and he was TRAPPED between us for 4+ hours. SPX is that magical place where we stay in the same hotel as the convention so you run into people all the time. We found a Ben Catmull by the elevators right away! Maybe he was haunting the place (NOT COOL, BEN) SPX had Ed Piskor draw the badges for the show this year and they were pretty bitching! Melanie Gillman models: Early morning rise and shine, all the books were out in their deliciously intimidating stacks including all sexy color Peanuts Every Sunday. Speaking of Peanuts, kids are attracted to it like a magnet. Yes! Sketching Guantanamo also debuted at SPX and Janet Hamlin, the military tribunal artist for the last seven years showed up with some new sketches. This book is very important, not just to Janet or us but to the United States as a form of public record. Here Hamlin and Justin Hall, editor and one of the cartoonists in No Straight Lines sign books. Ed Piskor's new book Hip Hop Family Tree sold out early in the show along with Ulli Lust's Today is the Last Day of the Rest of Your Life. Ed signs while dressed to the nines. Ed signed alongside Fantagraphics' veterans Leslie Stein drawing in Eye of the Majestic Creature Vol. 2 and Michael Kupperman. T. Edward Bak gives them a pleasant earful. Speaking of debuts, The Secret History of Marvel Comics edited by Blake Bell and Dr. Michael J. Vassallo was very popular amongst the small press and indie fans. Chip Mosher of comiXology and Max Robinson have a mug off plus show off fun 'demonstration hands'! Meanwhile, one of the best dressed men and micropublishers in comics, Ryan Sands of Youth in Decline SHOWS OFF not one but two amazing tops before grabbing The Dan Clowes Reader (edited by Ken Parille). While we're on the subject of fashion this lady's TEZUKA shirt blew me away, especially with its little added on pockets. Dash Shaw and Charles Forsman signed copies of their new books, New School and The End of the Fucking World respectively. Ulli Lust signs Today is the Last Day of the Rest of Your Life and Marc Sobel (editor) signs Love and Rockets: The Companion. (photo by Meredith Rizzo) So many of our cartoonists were on panels and luckily Meredith Rizzo was there to take photos while we sold books! Dash Shaw and Frnak Santoro. Gary Panter and Bill Kartalopoulos (photo by Meredith Rizzo) Jim Rugg, Tom Scioli, Ed Piskor, Seth and R. Sikoryak. (photo by Meredith Rizzo) And then people started drooling over Love and Rockets! Adam Staffaroni and Andrew Arnold (of Roaring Brook) ohh and ahh over Love and Rockets: The Covers. Joseph Lambert took it upon himself to get dangerous with hydration in a live appropriation of the Love and Rockets: New Stories #6 cover. Paul Hornschemeier, Ben Catmull, and Peter Bagge signed at the table (Gary Panter presiding behind them) At Bar Con in the evenings, things are heating up. Pete Bagge discusses things with Publisher Gary Groth, apparently it made Terry Nantier from NBM giggle. Heidi MacDonald of The Beat, Peter Bagge, Terry from NBM and Noah Van Sciver make the flying Mighty Ducks 'V'. Roger Langridge talks to Aussie Chris Breach. At the Ignatz ceremony, they remembered our late, great Kim Thompson (photo from last year's convention) Ulli Lust (not pictured), Carol Tyler and me (!) all presented awards at the Ignatz ceremony. Two Fantagraphics' cartoonists won Ignatz bricks! Ulli for Best Graphic Novel and Chuck for issue 16 of his TEOTFW installment. The brick for Today is the Last Day of the Rest of Your Life. Special guest Gary Panter and Jacq look great! Jacq and me with our roadie, Jeff Smith. On Sunday more cartoonists stopped by the table to grab their favorite titles from us like Gene Yang picked up Ben Catmull's Ghosts and Ruins. Gary Panter asked Paul Hornschemeier to sign a book for him (bawww!) Then Koyama Press' Cole Closser, Linda Walker and D&Q's Rutu Modan stopped by to talk to Gary Panter and grab Dal Tokyo. Andrew Arnold and Sean Azzopardi flex with The Cavalier Mr. Thompson by Rich Tommaso and Dash Shaw 's Unclothed Man. Alec Longstreth and Greg McElhatton model books Mickey Mouse: Color Sundays by Floyd Gottfredson and Love and Rockets: The Covers! Joseph Remnant and Noah Van Sciver pay their respects to Schulz and the Peanuts Every Sunday Vol. 1 book. This picture is way cute and may or may not be my desktop background. Noah's gonna give you the hard sell, "LOOK at how color affects the tone of this comic!" Too true, it's way more whimsical! Dan Stafford, SPX staffer and owner of Kilgore Books & Comics, gives us his best "don't murder me face". But it wasn't enough, story at eleven. Fall Guy for Murder by Johnny Craig gets 'em every time. Former intern Lars got a copy of Gahan Wilson Sunday Comics (that he worked on!) Peter Bagge signs some books for fans! (photo by Meredith Rizzo) Zak Sally took a break behind our booth to do some sweet sketches. The last thing to do at a con after packing up some unsold books and labeling boxes is EAT COOKIES. SPX social media coordinator and crazy busy man, Michael David Thomas, is the stuff fucking dreams are made of my friends. More excellent fashion: Tom Kaczynski's TV Terminator shirt. Three cheers for Eden and Greg! Farel Dalrymple and Noah Van Sciver twerk and smirk below. Jacq hugs Jason Leivian of Floating World/Press Gang I'm so pissed I forgot to show off my '90s HIP HOP socks to Ed while he was signing Hip Hop Family Tree. See those smiley faces and peace signs? The kind of socks you keep for the rest of your life! Eden Miller, Ignatz organizer, also showed off her own foot related fashion---an Ignatz tattoo pulled right from the pages of Herriman's comic! Back on the plane ride home, Jacq took a photo of me working on comics. We had SUCH a great time at SPX, thank you so much to Warren Bernard, Michael David Thomas, Dan Stafford, Eden Miller, Sam Marx and the many, many, many other staffers and volunteers who made the show rock. Our bags are already packed for next year.
Boasting one of the most PACKED signing schedules of SPX and Fantagraphics' we have FOURTEEN people signing at our table (and a few more Fantagraphics' cartoonists are tabling all by their lonesome) You can find all these sweet 'n' sassy cartoonists and book debuts at tables W57-6, along the very rightmost wall.

KENNEDY - The United States Postal Service will hold a meeting at 5 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 1, in the Kennedy United Methodist Church concerning the Kennedy Post Office.
Community input from the meeting will help determine future postal service in the town.
As part of the POST Plan to review certain offices, a survey was recently mailed to a sampling of residents served by the Kennedy Post Office. Results of the survey will be shared at the meeting. Recommendations include to cut the number of weekday window service hours to six and maintain the Saturday window service hours and current accessibility to post office boxes. The survey also offered different possibilities for closing the office and providing alternative services. Survey participants were asked to provide comments about the Kennedy post office as well.

Wednesday 12 Mar 2014
By Javier Pes. Web onlyPublished online: 05 September 2012
The UK has a new minister of culture after a cabinet reshuffle on Tuesday 4 September in which the former minister, Jeremy Hunt, was promoted to become Health Secretary. Hunt's new job took many by surprise, not least because he had to weather criticism for his handling of News Corp's bid to buy BSkyB while at the Department for Culture Media and Sport. At the end of June, while speaking at the British Museum, Hunt referred to its monumental statue of Ramases II as a reminder of the "temporal nature of political power", alluding to his recent grilling by the Leveson inquiry into press standards. No one predicted Hunt would now be responsible for the National Health Service. What a difference a day in politics makes.
The new culture secretary Maria Miller, who is one of the few women in the Prime Minister David Cameron's reshuffled cabinet, is another surprise appointment. She has been a relatively unknown junior minister in the Department for Work and Pensions. Before becoming a Member of Parliament, she worked in marketing and advertising. The department she now leads is responsible for a range of activities. It remains to be seen how highly culture will feature alongside media and sport. High on her agenda will be making the most of the London Olympic Games' legacy. One of Hunt's last acts as culture minister was to appoint Peter Bazalgette as the chairman of the Arts Council, the body that administers government funding for the arts in England. Bazalgette is the former head of the television production company Endemol, which successfully adapted the Dutch-devised Big Brother reality TV format for a UK audience. His business background is expected to mean he is more in tune than his predecessor, Liz Forgan, with the Conservative government's wish to encourage private support of the arts to compensate for cuts in government funding.

My comment on: "NEA, AFT Partner To Build Common-Core Tools," (Education Week, Dec 17).
From the article:
The two national teachers' unions have won $11 million to build an online warehouse of instructional tools for the Common Core State Standards. Student Achievement Partners, whose founders led the writing of the standards, is also a grantee. It will work with the American Federation of Teachers and the National Education Association and their teachers to build the tools and post them on Student Achievement Partners' website.
(For the rest: http://blogs.edweek.org/edweek/curriculum/2012/12/nea_aft_to_build_common-core_w.html)
My comment, posted on http://blogs.edweek.org/edweek/curriculum/2012/12/nea_aft_to_build_common-core_w.html)
This is all wrong. The unions and the Helmsley Foundation should be helping us resist the Common Core. Are they aware that the common core state (sic) standards mean a massive increase in testing and will be very expensive, at a time when money is very tight? My estimate is that the common core will require about 20 times the amount of testing that NCLB requires, with more subjects and grade levels tested, interim tests, and maybe even pretests in the fall.
Are they aware that there is no evidence that increased testing will boost achievement, and that there is no justification for the common core in the first place? There is strong evidence that the major reason for low school achievement is poverty. According to UNICEF (Innocenti Report 10), the US child poverty rate is now 23%, the second highest among 35 "economically advanced" countries. Poverty has a devastating impact on school performance.
The billions to be spent on unnecessary and excessive testing could be used to protect children against the effects of poverty.
This space explores issues in public education policy, and it advocates for a commitment to and a re-examination of the democratic purposes of schools. If there is some urgency in the message, it is due to the current reform efforts that are based on a radical re-invention of education, now spearheaded by a psychometric blitzkrieg of "metastasizing testing" aimed at dismantling a public education system that took almost 200 years to build.

I'm in a wheelchairYou can't see itPeople don't pityWhat they cannot see
I've got a gunHeld to my headYou can't see itBut it's there
My crutchesAre contained in capsulesWhen my wheelchairTurns on me
I just wish for five minutesYou could seeThe horrors and hatredThat I see
If only I could lend youMy mental wheelchairNo,It's not what you expected
(c)1997 T.M. Otto
I have had mania for so many years, I can't remember back that far. It was, back in the day, an undiscovered problem handled by my father with alcohol because there were no drugs at that time or the doctors to diagnose it. He was a great dad but I understand him more then ever now because I too have this illness, this wonderful madness that let's you see things and feel like you can touch the stars. I am on right meds finally and working it out. My boyfriend is a retired medic and firefighter, and my power of attorney. Thank you for listening :)
I am a mom with an adult child who is living schizoaffective disorder and bipolar. My daughter quit taking her meds June of 2013 and by November was full blown psychotic. My hands were tired trying get her help, especially since she did not want it. My daughter was hearing up to 4 voices 24 hours a day, and getting worse. 4 times she was admitted, but each time she came out worse. The voices controlled her to the point of burning herself. My daughter went missing for 13 days. ABC 15 news in Phoenix aired her story and she was found two days latter, alive and now is in treatment.
This is my story as a Father and the journal I've kept for many years. It's the beginning of my daughters first two years and her/our battle and realization that she has been diagnosed with Schizophrenia. We are getting support but oh how it has changed our lives. She is 24 and married with a four year old little boy. I hope in some way it can help other families understand the process that may be before them. Stay strong.

I was told they hire 50-60 each year.... phewwwwww thats one load out of 758 off my mind lol |

| Posted almost 6 years ago That is great news...but don't wait until 2010 to build your relationship with this hospital, make contacts now, network, look for seminars to attend, see if you can do clinicals there...so now you only have 757 loads to get off your mind! lol |

| Posted almost 6 years ago lol true.. i just sent the head of nursing there another email to find out if i can do my clinicals there. i had my baby there last august and OMG it was the best experience every.. my hubby laughs at me because i really could've left the next day but i requested to stay my full two because i was enjoying myself. all my nurses were angels. |

| Posted almost 6 years ago can you call any hospital as an individual nursing student and ask to do clinicals or shadow a nurse |
628 posts back to top |
| Posted almost 6 years ago Typically your school must negotiate a contract of some sort with the hosptial to allow you to do clinicals. You can't do this individually. You can, however, call the hospital to inquire about shadowing a nurse. You will generally be asked to sign a confidentiality agreement and will not participate in any actual patient care. |

The second original, touching, twisted, and most of all hilarious novel for children from David Walliams, number one bestseller and fastest growing children's author in the country - beautifully illustrated by Quentin Blake. Mr Stink stank. He also stunk. And if it was correct English to say he stinked, then he stinked as well... It all starts when Chloe makes friends with Mr Stink, the local tramp. Yes, he smells a bit. But when it looks like he might be driven out of town, Chloe decides to hide him in the garden shed. Now Chloe's got to make sure no one finds out her secret. And speaking of secrets, there just might be more to Mr Stink than meets the eye...or the nose.
Since 2008 David Walliams has taken the children's literary world by storm. His most recent book RATBURGER, immediately went to no.1 in the children's chart, while the PB of his previous title, GANGSTA GRANNY, currently dominates the UK charts and has sold over 100,000 PBs on top of 370,000+ HBs and 36,000 ebooks (Bookscan July 2013). Today, David is the fastest growing Children's author in the UK. His books have been translated into 30+ languages and sold over 2 million copies in the UK alone.

After two levies have failed for Bowling Green Schools, district officials say they can't make any more cuts, so they're targeting extracurricular activities to find more money.
Next year, BG students who want to play a sport are going to have to pay for it, but the exact cost is still up in the air.
Sports aren't the only activities that will be affected.
"Clubs and organizations, Model UN, Quiz Bowl, things along those lines, that require a lot of additional time outside of the school day," explained Superintendent Ann McVey.
McVey says the extracurricular activities cost the district close to $500,000 per year. The funding for coaches, advisors and teachers is no longer affordable, but parents don't agree.
"It's just ridiculous, it's crazy," said parent Crissi Spaulding, who says she's already paid enough for her daughter to be a cheerleader. "Camp, shoes, warm-ups…I think in total it's been almost $500."
Anna Flores has two children who play three different sports. Now she's not sure if they will be able to continue to play.
"It would be hard," she said. "Both of my kids are in sports, so I would have to do what I have to do."
McVey says she's cut the budget as far as she can. The board has cut $620,000.
"Pay to participate was certainly not something we used as step number one in solving a financial crisis," she said.
The public will be able to sound off at next month's school board meeting.

ISO/IEC 15288:2008 establishes a common framework for describing the life cycle of systems created by humans. It defines a set of processes and associated terminology. These processes can be applied at any level in the hierarchy of a system's structure. Selected sets of these processes can be applied throughout the life cycle for managing and performing the stages of a system's life cycle. This is accomplished through the involvement of all interested parties, with the ultimate goal of achieving customer satisfaction.
ISO/IEC 15288:2008 also provides processes that support the definition, control and improvement of the life cycle processes used within an organization or a project. Organizations and projects can use these life cycle processes when acquiring and supplying systems.
ISO/IEC 15288:2008 concerns those systems that are man-made and may be configured with one or more of the following: hardware, software, data, humans, processes (e.g., processes for providing service to users), procedures (e.g., operator instructions), facilities, materials and naturally occurring entities. When a system element is software, the software life cycle processes documented in ISO/IEC 12207:2008 may be used to implement that system element.
ISO/IEC 15288:2008 and ISO/IEC 12207:2008 are harmonized for concurrent use on a single project or in a single organization.

Work will seem more bearable with these early morning moves.Studies show that morning people are actually happier than night owls, so when Kim Kardashian tweeted about her morning mani-pedis last week it got us thinking. What do these early risers know that we don't? The answer: Some of the items on your to-do list are best done before breakfast. Try these early morning moves to be successful at pretty much every area of your life.
By Lauren Panariello
1. Hit The Gym
Studies show that pumping iron when you wake up can lead you to eat less throughout the day. Plus, everyone has more willpower in the morning since you haven't been worn out by everything else in your day, so pushing yourself to put on sneakers won't be as rough.
2. Get A Mani-Pedi
Last week, Kim Kardashian tweeted about her morning ritual, saying, "Up early. Mani-pedi time. Still half asleep." Turns out, the girl knows what she's doing. Experts say getting posh treatments like a massage or manis are ultra relaxing when your early-morning dream-like state hasn't worn off yet. So the next time you wake up a little groggy, don't fight it and rush over to the salon.

3. Be Crafty
If you've been thinking about taking up painting, or finally going to that trendy new ceramics class, schedule it in the a.m. According to the experts, people are hyper-creative in the morning, making it the perfect time to get those artsy juices flowing.
4. Turn Up the Heat
Heat works wonders on your muscles in the morning (it helps warm them up for the rest of the day), while cooler temps should hit your limbs at night. If you're a fan of Bikram yoga or like to take steamy showers, save those treats for the early hours.
Related: Surprising Ways to Get Ahead at Work
5. Climb The Corporate Ladder
Studies have found that people can focus the most in the morning, and the ability to stay sharp fades throughout the day. If you're doing career planning-sending out resumes and sorting through job apps-kick off your day with those activities. You'll see less errors and more efficient work in the a.m. than you will at night.
6. Send A Tweet
Studies show that people are more optimistic in the morning, so send out some good vibes through social media. Your Facebook and Twitter feeds will make you look like a positive go-getter.
Related: How to Deal With Real-Life Horrible Bosses
7. Go On a Date
Experts recommend using the morning to socialize and make plans that your busy day might otherwise crowd out. So if you always get surprised by last-minute errands or work projects, try meeting friends or a new guy for breakfast. It'll put you in a great mood for the rest of the day.

South African photographer Alfred (Alf) Kumalo, who chronicled his country's transformation from apartheid to democracy, died Sunday of kidney failure in Johannesburg at the age of 82, local media reported.
Born in 1930 in the Alexandra township in Johannesburg, Kumalo became a photojournalist at the age of 21.
During his career, he covered the span of the apartheid era, including Nelson Mandela's wedding to Winnie in 1957, the Soweto uprising in 1976 and the state of emergency in the 1980s, as well as Mandela's presidency from 1994.
Kumalo also worked for Drum Magazine, a trailblazing publication for the black population. Many referred to him as Bra' Alf, using a nickname meaning "brother".
"His career as a photographer, beginning in 1951, mirrored the rise in Mr Mandelas political career and Bra Alf photographed many of the historic events in which he played a key role," said Mandela's organisation at the lensman's passing.
President Jacob Zuma also hailed Kumalo's extraordinary documentation of the nation's history.
"We have lost an outstanding individual and a great South African. He was a meticulous photographer and his work will live on forever as a monument to the people's resilience and fortitude in the face of colonial oppression and apartheid," Zuma said.
Kumalo never really retired, having founded and run the Alf Kumalo Museum in Soweto, where he showcased some of his work and taught photography until his death.
In 2010 he published a book titled -- "8115: A Prisoner's Home", which is a collection of photographs of the Mandela family from the 1960s to the 90s.
8115 is the number of Mandela's former house in Soweto.

FCC, EBR, CAN-SPAM, opt-in, opt-out … it all gets a little confusing. The rules governing the way organizations can deliver their advertising and solicitation messages are driven by the medium (fax, telephone, e-mail, snail mail), by the message (unsolicited advertising, charitable solicitations, business communications), and by the manner (opt-in, opt-out, established business relationships (EBR), required disclosures).
Let's start with faxes. Here, the content of the message is key. However, all faxes (no matter what the content) must include
the date and time the message was sent,
the sender's identity and registered legal name, and
the number of the sending fax machine.
Effective July 1, 2005, if the fax is an unsolicited advertisement, the sender also must obtain the recipient's prior written, signed permission to receive such faxes from a specific sender to a specific fax number. The current requirements, which say that an established business relationship constitutes prior permission, will no longer apply. The rules that govern the sending of unsolicited fax advertisements are known as opt-in requirements. Other communications sent via fax (e.g., straight business communications) do not require prior permission.
Can the Spam
For e-mails, the CAN-SPAM Act of 2003 states that any material sent by e-mail to advertise or promote a product or service (including educational materials, seminars, conferences, sponsorships, membership drives, etc.) must
identify the e-mail as an advertisement or solicitation,
provide an opt-out mechanism allowing the recipient to opt-out of receiving future e-mails, and
include the sender's physical address.
The laws controlling the use of commercial e-mails are known as "opt-out" requirements. Transactional or relationship e-mails (e.g., those sent to facilitate, complete, or confirm a previous commercial transaction; those that provide information on subscriptions, memberships, accounts, or similar ongoing relationships; or those that provide information directly related to an employment relationship or benefit plan) are not subject to the CAN-SPAM Act's requirements. Additionally, the act makes it illegal to falsify transmission information, use deceptive subject headings, and continue to send e-mails if the recipient has opted out.
Don't Call Us, We'll …
For telephone communications, there is an across-the-board opt-out opportunity — the now well-known National Do Not Call Registry — which restricts solicitors from contacting registered individuals. (It does not apply to businesses.) But, depending on the message, there are exceptions. For example, solicitations for charitable contributions are exempt from compliance with the Do Not Call Registry, even when the call is made by a for-profit independent telemarketer, as long as it's not combined with the sale of any product or service. Even so, all callers must promptly disclose the name of the organization making the request and the purpose of the call. In addition, they must track, and not call, any individual who requests not to be called again. Not-for-profit organizations attempting to sell products, educational courses, etc. by phone must comply with all legal requirements governing telephone solicitations, including the Do Not Call Registry.
And then there is good old snail mail. Guess what? You can send all the unsolicited advertisements and promotions you want by U.S. mail. There are no prohibitions.

Louise McCann at the North Norfolk Food & Drink Festival held in the grounds of Holkham Hall. Picture: Ian Burt
By SOPHIE WYLLIE
Saturday, September 1, 2012
Food lovers flocked to a gastronomic feast at Holkham Hall today (Saturday) which kicked off the EDP Adnams Norfolk Food and Drink Festival.
People from far and wide enjoyed the sights, smells and atmosphere of the North Norfolk Food and Drink Festival.
The event, which is in its third year, featured some 60 stalls and showcased the best food and drink on offer, including pies, popcorn, spicy relishes and ice cream.
Lady Coke, of Holkham Hall, said she was "incredibly proud" of the festival.
She added: "The numbers of people who come are increasing each year and long may it last."
Last year 8,500 people enjoyed the festival when there were just under 40 stalls.
Teddy Maufe, North Norfolk Food and Drink Festival chairman, said this year's event offered a greater array of "delectable and delicious" food and drink.
"It never ceases to amaze me how much local produce this area has," he added. "I would be quite happy to just eat local north Norfolk food forever."
Arthur Howell who was running the hog roast said: "It is brilliant. It brings all the best produce from the shopkeepers and farm shops.
"The area is fantastic - we have got some of the best food and chefs."
Mr Howell sells fish, meat and bread in Wells, Burnham Market and Binham.
Dr Sally Francis, proprietor of Norfolk Saffron, based in Burnham Norton, said: "We love it because it is a real opportunity to speak with our customers."
Ian Kew, owner of Kew's Pies in North Walsham, said Holkham Hall as a venue is "awesome".
He added: "There is a great cross section of people and there is a great atmosphere."
Other exhibitors at the weekened included Chillis Galore from Drayton, which produces chilli jelly and sauces, and the Norfolk Popcorn Company, based at Manor Farm, Bintree.
Farmer Algy Garrod, who developed the business, is the only popcorn producer in Britain.
Businessman Matt Dickens, 35, of Cromer, was visiting with his wife and two children.
He said: "We came to try the food. It is great. We came last year for the first time and liked it so much we came back."
The North Norfolk Food and Drink Festival continues tomorrow between 10am and 5pm.
