Vasquez Rocks
Vasquez Rocks
Vasquez Rocks
Location | Escondido Canyon Rd., Agua Dulce, California |
Nearest city | Agua Dulce, California |
NRHP Reference # | 72000228 |
Added to NRHP | June 22, 1972 |
Vasquez Rocks Natural Area Park is a 932-acre park located in the Sierra Pelona Mountains, in northern Los Angeles County, California. It is in Agua Dulce between the Antelope Valley and the Santa Clarita Valley north of Los Angeles and seen easily by motorists driving the Antelope Valley Freeway (CA 14).
The rock formations were formed by rapid erosion during uplift about 25 million years ago and later exposed by activity along the San Andreas Fault.[1] In 1873 and 1874 Tiburcio Vásquez, one of California's most notorious bandits, used these rocks to elude capture by law enforcement. His name has since been associated with this geologic feature.
The land and rock formations were acquired by the Los Angeles County government in the 1970s.
Vasquez Rocks was added to the National Register of Historic Places (site #72000228) in 1972 because of its significance as a prehistoric site for the Shoshone and Tataviam peoples.[2]
Role in entertainment[edit]
In 1935, Universal Pictures assigned Stanley Bergerman as executive producer on the film Werewolf of London. Bergerman suggested the Vasquez Rocks as the location for what was supposed to be Tibet.[citation needed] Since then, Vasquez Rocks have been used innumerable times in motion pictures, various television series and in moving and still photography advertisements, and continue to be used in them today.
The triangular rock summit can be clearly seen in, for example, an Outer Limits episode called "The Zanti Misfits"; in numerous episodes of The Big Valley; in "Arena", an original series Star Trek episode where Captain Kirk rolls a boulder onto a reptiloid alien called a Gorn; and throughout a Bonanza episode called "Between Heaven and Earth".
The prominent rock formation has been nicknamed "Kirk's Rock" due to being featured in several Star Trek episodes, each time representing a different planet.[3] The use of the rock as a place to struggle with an enemy was echoed in the film Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey twice, once replaying the Gorn Star Trek episode on the TV, and again when title characters are murdered by their doubles at the same location.
The Vasquez Rocks were also used prominently throughout all three seasons of the science-fiction television series Roswell as something of an important location for the main characters and their story. The area is also featured as the location of the Command Center/Power Chamber for Mighty Morphin Power Rangers throughout Power Rangers Turbo. In a Season 5 episode of Friends - "The One with Joey's Big Break" - Joey lands the lead role in a movie being filmed at the Vasquez Rocks (though the peaks are not seen on camera). Also featured in the movie Paul, and in the 2009 "South by Southwest" episode of NCIS. The final episode of New Girl season 1 is primarily set here with the Rocks prominent in the background.
Tom Ford's 2009 movie A Single Man shows the characters George (Colin Firth) and Jim (Matthew Goode) lounging on the rocks in a black-and-white flashback scene.
In the Big Bang Theory episode "The Bakersfield Expedition," which aired in 2013, the four male protagonists appear to stop here, thanks to green screen, on their road trip to ComicCon in Bakersfield, CA. Since they have Star Trek: The Next Generation-themed costumes for the costume contest at ComicCon, they decide to have a brief photoshoot at the Star Trek filming site. Their stop goes horribly wrong when someone steals their car as they are taking pictures. In the episode "The Adhesive Duck Deficiency", the characters attempt to observe a meteor shower from "34.48° N, 118.31°W", the map coordinates of the Vasquez Rocks formation, to make it appear as if they were there.
The 1980s new wave band Wall of Voodoo used a photo of the rocks on their debut album, Dark Continent.
The Vasquez Rocks consist mainly of coarse-grained conglomerate and breccia sediments which were deposited adjacent to active faults during rapid uplift and consequent erosion of the San Gabriel mountains. Approximately 25 million years ago (late Oligocene time), the collision of the North American and Pacific Plates uplifted the area along the Elkhorn Fault.[4] Energetic erosion of the highland along with uplift and volcanism caused debris-flow sediments to be distributed in alluvial fans into a rapidly subsiding rift known as the Soledad basin.[5] These sediments were buried and lithified through the Miocene and became exposed more recently via activity along the San Andreas fault system.[6] The strata are now highly tilted, are disconnected from their source area and are deformed and offset by the later fault activity. The distinctive "hogback" ridges of steeply inclined strata serve to graphically demonstrate the significant fault activity in the area.

Cepheus is a constellation in the northern sky. It is named after Cepheus, King of Aethiopia in Greek mythology. It was one of the 48 constellations listed by the 2nd century astronomer Ptolemy, and remains one of the 88 modern constellations.
History and mythology[edit]
Cepheus was the King of Aethiopia. He was married to Cassiopeia and was the father of Andromeda, both of whom are immortalized as modern day constellations along with Cepheus.[2]
Notable features[edit]
Alpha Cephei, traditionally called "Alderamin", is a white hued star of magnitude 2.5, 49 light-years from Earth. Beta Cephei, traditionally called "Alfirk", is a double star with a blue-hued giant primary of magnitude 3.2 and a secondary of magnitude 7.9. The primary is a variable star considered to be the prototype of its subclass of pulsating variable stars, which are sometimes named for Beta Canis Majoris. Beta Cephei variables do not have wide ranges in magnitude, nor do they have periods longer than a few hours. Beta Cephei itself varies 0.1 magnitudes every 4.6 hours. Its traditional name means "flock" and refers to a flock of sheep. Gamma Cephei, traditionally called Errai, is an orange-hued star of magnitude 3.2, 45 light-years from Earth. Its traditional name means "the shepherd".[3] It is a binary star approximately 50 light years away from Earth. The system consists of an orange subgiant and a red dwarf. Due to the precession of the equinoxes, γ Cephei will be the pole star between AD 3000 and 5200, with the closest approach to the celestial pole around AD 4000. The primary component is orbited by a planet.[citation needed]
δ Cephei is the prototype Cepheid variable, a yellow-hued supergiant star 980 light-years from Earth. It was discovered to be variable by John Goodricke in 1784. It varies between 3.5m and 4.4m over a period of 5 days and 9 hours. The Cepheids are a class of pulsating variable stars; Delta Cephei has a minimum size of 40 solar diameters and a maximum size of 46 solar diameters. It is also a double star; the yellow star also has a wide-set blue-hued companion of magnitude 6.3.[3]
There are several other prominent variable stars in Cepheus. One, μ Cephei, is also known as Herschel's Garnet Star due to its deep red colour. It is a semiregular variable star with a minimum magnitude of 5.1 and a maximum magnitude of 3.4. Its period is approximately 2 years.[3] The star is around 11.8 AU in radius. If it were placed at the centre of our Solar System, it would extend to the orbit of Saturn.[citation needed] Another, VV Cephei, like Mu Cephei, is a red supergiant and a semiregular variable star, located at least 2000 light-years from Earth. It has a minimum magnitude of 5.4 and a maximum magnitude of 4.8. One of the largest stars in the galaxy, it has a diameter of over 1000 solar diameters. VV Cephei is also an unusually long-period eclipsing binary, but the eclipses, which occur every 20.3 years, are too faint to be observed with the unaided eye. T Cephei, also a red giant, is a Mira variable with a minimum magnitude of 11.3 and a maximum magnitude of 5.2, 685 light-years from Earth. It has a period of 13 months and a diameter of 500 solar diameters.[3]
There are several prominent double stars and binary stars in Cepheus. Omicron Cephei is a binary star with a period of 800 years. The system, 211 light-years from Earth, consists of an orange-hued giant primary of magnitude 4.9 and a secondary of magnitude 7.1. Xi Cephei is another binary star, 102 light-years from Earth, with a period of 4000 years. It has a blue-white primary of magnitude 4.4 and a yellow secondary of magnitude 6.5.[3]
Kruger 60 is an 11th magnitude binary star consisting of two red dwarfs. The star system is one of the nearest, being only 13 light years away from Earth.[citation needed]
Deep-sky objects[edit]
- NGC 188 is an open cluster that has the distinction of being the closest open cluster to the north celestial pole, as well as one of the oldest known open clusters.
- The Fireworks Galaxy (NGC 6946) is a spiral galaxy in which nine supernovae have been observed, more than in any other galaxy.
- IC 469 is another spiral galaxy, characterized by a compact nucleus, of oval shape, with perceptible side arms.
- The nebula NGC 7538 is home to the largest yet discovered protostar.
- NGC 7023 is a reflection nebula with an associated star cluster (Collinder 429); it has an overall magnitude of 7.7 and is 1400 light-years from Earth. The nebula and cluster are located near Beta Cephei and T Cephei.[5]
Cepheus is most commonly depicted as holding his arms aloft, praying for the gods to spare the life of Andromeda. He is also depicted as a more regal monarch sitting on his throne.[2]
In Chinese astronomy, the stars of the constellation Cepheus are found in two areas: the Purple Forbidden enclosure (紫微垣, Zǐ Wēi Yuán) and the Black Tortoise of the North (北方玄武, Běi Fāng Xuán Wǔ).
In popular culture[edit]
- In the TV sitcom 3rd Rock from the Sun, the aliens' home planet is stated to be located in a barred spiral galaxy on the Cepheus-Draco border.
- The performer Deadmau5 named his song, "HR 8938 Cephei" after a star in the constellation.

Craftsman isn't what it use to be. I got about 1&1/2 hours of run time on 1st band then about 1 hour on the second. Not continues running, total running. I have some Olson bands that I keep as back ups. A little more $ but last much, much longer run time. I'm not wasting any more $ on these crappy bands. I have to order them online anyway because my local **** sears store doesn't carry them.

The neon sign out front is a bright jolt in the staid Homewood neighborhood near The Johns Hopkins University. But it's our first clue that La Famiglia is seeking its own identity in the spot formerly occupied by Brasserie Tatin.
The biggest change, of course, is the switch from French cuisine to Italian. Inside, though, the décor is much the same. The cascading strings of tiny white lights still dangle romantically in the bar area, and the black, sparkly tables beckon appealingly in the dining room. The restaurant has a comfortably elegant, modern vibe.
New owner Dino Zeytinoglu, or Dino as everyone familiarly calls him, is an omnipresence. Dapper and eager, he's a whirl of motion, greeting people pleasantly and scurrying around the dining room. Zeytinoglu is a transplant from Boccaccio—the Little Italy restaurant that's been shuttered since its owner's death last summer—and he's lured some of the Eastern Avenue crew to help with the new establishment.
But we sensed the weight of the venture on his genial shoulders as we watched him charging through the restaurant and sprinting in and out of the kitchen. That man can move. On one visit, the hostess shared that the restaurant was slammed that night. Maybe that explained our disastrous service.
Our silver-haired waiter, decked out in de rigueur black and white, was curt, uninterested, and left us dangling at the table, long after our leftover desserts were starting to get stale. His completely unrepentant excuse with, we swear, a roll of the eyes was, "I got lost." What? The dining room isn't that big. And we could see him waiting tables on the other side.
That said, we don't think that's indicative of the servers there. On another visit, we had a pleasant, efficient waitress, who took the time to answer questions, brought a peppermill to the table, inquired about our meals, and noticed empty plates and glasses. We're glad that she restored our faith for many reasons, but mostly because we want to like this sweet, earnest restaurant, which turns out some fine Northern Italian fare.
We usually steer away from plates for two. But the antipasti "per due" proved to be a generous selection of various appetizers: escargot in garlic butter covered with a crunchy film of crust, garlicky sautéed shrimp, fried calamari, clams casino with fat squares of bacon, and toasty garlic bread (in case you haven't had enough of the pungent bulb). The portions were divided on two plates, much to our appreciation.
The starter dish also included a bowl of steamed, tender mussels in a garlicky (of course!) butter sauce to share—though that item wasn't listed on the menu. (And, no, we weren't recognized as reviewers. See above: could-care-less waiter.)
We're traditionalists, so we had to sample the Caesar salad. It was an unassuming, honest interpretation with spring-green romaine, generous slivers of Parmesan, and a subtle vinaigrette dressing with a tang of balsamic. The spinach salad was also a decent plateful of perky greens and mushrooms gently coated with just-warm-enough red-vinegar dressing that didn't wilt the leaves.
The menu is smartly priced with entrees under $29, though specials of the day can run higher. Our waitress, thankfully, made sure to tell us that the Dover sole was $48.
On our first go-round to the restaurant, we had a plump grouper fillet with brown lemon sauce and a 14-ounce veal chop, impressively stacked on its side, with healthy, roasted vegetables—long, flat ribbons of red peppers, zucchini, and eggplant. Both dishes came with a vegetable of the day—green beans.
Here's where we began to notice the kitchen's love of salt. The buttery green beans were loaded with it as was the fish, which got a double whammy from a tad too much Old Bay. The veal, however, was a hunk of meat heaven—smoothly textured and succulent.
We also noticed on a return trip that the broccoli was overly salted to the extent that it interrupted the delicate flavors of the chicken saltimbocca and veal in piccata caper sauce. Still, the scaloppine slices of meat were moist and tender.
The saltimbocca was true to form with musty sage and cured prosciutto layered on the chicken. And the veal benefited from briny capers the size of peas. Since our visits, entrees come with a side of pasta with marinara sauce. (Vegetables are a la carte.)
There are several other pasta dishes if you're carb-loading, including penne in vodka sauce, fettuccine alla Bolognese, and linguine with pesto sauce. We found the spaghetti with seafood, lightly tossed with marinara, to be a fresh, filling rendition of a dish that's on just about every Italian menu. Juicy mussels, clams, shrimp, calamari, and scallops were liberally tangled with the al dente pasta. It's so simple that it's perfect.
We know. Cannolis are so predictable. But La Famiglia's—made in house, as are all the desserts—is a praiseworthy indulgence with sweet, fluffy ricotta, dotted with mini chocolate chips, and enveloped in a flaky pastry shell that splits easily with the nudge of a fork. We also enjoyed countering all the garlic with a soothing, creamy zabaglione with ripe blackberries, blueberries, and strawberries laced throughout. The tiramisu and chocolate mousse cake were decent sweets but too chilly to burst with intense flavor.
We love that there is an outpost of Little Italy in Northern Baltimore. And it's always so chic for a restaurant to take up residence in a stately Art Deco apartment building (The Broadview at Roland Park). There's also complimentary valet parking or a lot across the street for visitors' convenience.
So we're encouraged. Once the kitchen hides the salt shaker and gives a pep talk to some of its servers, we see the restaurant impressing diners as much as its owner Dino already does.

BRUSSELS — Serbia's ambassador to NATO was chatting and joking with colleagues in a multistory parking garage at Brussels Airport when he suddenly strolled to a barrier, climbed over and flung himself to the ground below, a diplomat said.
By the time his shocked colleagues reached him, Branislav Milinkovic was dead.
His motives are a mystery. Three diplomats who knew Milinkovic said he did not appear distraught in the hours leading up to his death Tuesday night. He seemed to be going about his regular business, they said, picking up an arriving delegation of six Serbian officials who were to hold talks with NATO, the alliance that went to war with his country just 13 years ago.
Belgian authorities confirmed that the ambassador had killed himself.
"It was indeed a suicide," said Ine Van Wymersch of the Brussels prosecutor's office. She said no further investigation was planned.
A former author and activist opposed to the authoritarian regime of Serbia's former strongman Slobodan Milosevic, Milinkovic was outgoing, had a warm sense of humor and worked to keep good ties with ambassadors from other ex-Yugoslav countries, according to diplomats and acquaintances.
The diplomats, who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to release details, said they knew of no circumstances — private or professional — that would have prompted him to take his own life.
But Milinkovic, 52, had mentioned to colleagues at diplomatic functions that he was unhappy about living apart from his wife, a Serbian diplomat based in Vienna, and their 17-year-old son.
One of the diplomats described his death to The Associated Press, saying she had spoken to a member of the delegation who had witnessed the leap from the 8- to 10-meter-high (26- to 33-foot-high) platform.
The diplomats all spoke on condition of anonymity because they are not permitted by foreign service regulations to speak publicly to the press.
The death cast a pall on the second day of a meeting of NATO foreign ministers. Officials said they were shocked by the news of the death of a very popular and well-liked man.
NATO's Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen said he was "deeply saddened by the tragic death of the Serbian ambassador."
"As Serbian ambassador to NATO he earned the respect and admiration of his fellow ambassadors," he said.
When Yugoslavia was a united country, Milinkovic worked for a prominent Yugoslav foreign policy think-tank. But when Milosevic seized power in Serbia in late 1980s, Milinkovic joined other liberals who opposed the former strongman's regime and presented a rare voice of moderation during the era when much of Serbia was engulfed in nationalist fervor. He established close ties with international human rights and other groups and remained active in anti-war groups.
After Milosevic was ousted in 2000, Milinkovic was appointed Serbia's ambassador to the Organization for Security and Co-Operation in Europe, or OSCE, in Vienna.
He was transferred to NATO as Serbia's special representative in 2004. Serbia is not a member of the military alliance, but Milinkovic was named ambassador after Belgrade joined NATO's Partnership for Peace program, which involves neutral states.
The move to join the NATO program had angered Serbian nationalists who are now in power. They have pledged that Serbia will never join NATO because of the alliance's 1999 bombing campaign that forced Milosevic's forces to withdraw from Serbia's southern province of Kosovo. In 2008, Kosovo declared independence from Serbia, which has never accepted that loss.

Civil rights activist Rosa Parks was born on February 4, 1913, in Tuskegee, Alabama. Her refusal to surrender her seat to a white passenger on a Montgomery, Alabama bus spurred a city-wide boycott. The city of Montgomery had no choice but to lift the law requiring segregation on public buses. Rosa Parks received many accolades during her lifetime, including the NAACP's highest award.
"At the time I was arrested, I had no idea it would turn into this. It was just a day like any other day. The only thing that made it significant was that the masses of the people joined in."
"I have learned over the years that when one's mind is made up, this diminishes fear; knowing what must be done does away with fear."
"People always say that I didn't give up my seat because I was tired ... the only tired I was was tired of giving in."
"Each person must live their life as a model for others."
"I would like to be remembered as a person who wanted to be free ... so other people would be also free."
"I'd see the bus pass every day ... the bus was among the first ways I realized there was a black and white world."
"When I thought about Emmett Till, I could not go to the back of the bus."
"My only concern was to get home after a hard day's work."
"In a single moment, with the simplest of gestures, she helped change America and change the world." (Barack Obama)
"The time had just come when I had been pushed as far as I could stand to be pushed."
"I had decided that I would have to know once and for all what rights I had as a human being and a citizen even in Montgomery, Alabama."
"I didn't tell anyone my feet were hurting. It was just popular, I suppose because they wanted to give some excuse other than the fact that I didn't want to be pushed around."
"She sat down in order that we might stand up."
"My resisting being mistreated on the bus did not begin with that particular arrest. I did a lot of walking in Montgomery."
"My desires were to be free as soon as I learned that there had been slavery of human beings."
"As I look back on those days, it's just like a dream, and the only thing that bothered me was that we waited so long to make this protest and to let it be known, wherever we go, that all of us should be free and equal and have all opportunities that others should have."
"God has always given me the strength to say what is right."
"There were times when it would have been easy to fall apart or to go in the opposite direction, but somehow I felt that if I took on more step, someone would come along to join me."
"When I made that decision, I knew I had the strength of my ancestors behind me."
[On refusing to surrender her bus seat to a white passenger in 1955.]
"I am always very respectful and very much in awe of the presence of Septima Clark, because her life story makes the effort that I have made very minute. I only hope that there is a possible chance that some of her great courage and dignity and wisdom has rubbed off on me."
Civil Rights Pioneer
Famed civil rights activist Rosa Parks was born Rosa Louise McCauley on February 4, 1913, in Tuskegee, Alabama. Her refusal to surrender her seat to a white passenger on a public bus Montgomery, Alabama, spurred on a citywide boycott and helped launch nationwide efforts to end segregation of public facilities.
Early Life and Education
Rosa Parks's childhood brought her early experiences with racial discrimination and activism for racial equality. After her parents separated, Rosa's mother moved the family to Pine Level, Alabama to live with her parents, Rose and Sylvester Edwards—both former slaves and strong advocates for racial equality; the family lived on the Edwards' farm, where Rosa would spend her youth. In one experience, Rosa's grandfather stood in front of their house with a shotgun while Ku Klux Klan members marched down the street.
Taught to read by her mother at a young age, Rosa went on to attend a segregated, one-room school in Pine Level, Alabama, that often lacked adequate school supplies such as desks. African-American students were forced to walk to the 1st- through 6th-grade schoolhouse, while the city of Pine Level provided bus transportation as well as a new school building for white students.
Through the rest of Rosa's education, she attended segregated schools in Montgomery, including the city's Industrial School for Girls (beginning at age 11). In 1929, while in the 11th grade and attending a laboratory school for secondary education led by the Alabama State Teachers College for Negroes, Rosa left school to attend to both her sick grandmother and mother back in Pine Level. She never returned to her studied; instead, she got a job at a shirt factory in Montgomery.
In 1932, at age 19, Rosa met and married Raymond Parks, a barber and an active member of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. With Raymond's support, Rosa earned her high school degree in 1933. She soon became actively involved in civil rights issues by joining the Montgomery chapter of the NAACP in 1943, serving as the chapter's youth leader as well as secretary to NAACP President E.D. Nixon—a post she held until 1957.
Ordered to the Back of the Bus
The Montgomery City Code required that all public transportation be segregated and that bus drivers had the "powers of a police officer of the city while in actual charge of any bus for the purposes of carrying out the provisions" of the code. While operating a bus, drivers were required to provide separate but equal accommodations for white and black passengers by assigning seats. This was accomplished with a line roughly in the middle of the bus separating white passengers in the front of the bus and African-American passengers in the back.

Addiction Recovery is Possible.
Addicts are like lotus flowers – they are rooted in the mud and the muck, but in recovery, rise above their trials and disappointments to blossom in the clear light of day. All it takes is a desire to recover.
If you've reached this website, addiction likely has you searching for answers, effective treatments and hope. You've come to a resting spot. I know firsthand what addiction means to daily living. I was a two-liter-of-hard-liquor-a-day drinker at the height of my addiction, and I have been sober for nearly fifteen years.
As an addiction scholar, I also know from a scientific and spiritual viewpoint that addiction can be overcome. Most of the best treatment methods are holistic – treating mind, body and spirit. They are also integrative – using treatment interventions from psychology, Western medicine, and complimentary and alternative medical practices. Recovery is possible.
Allow me to help you work through the multi-faceted issue of addiction. Here you will find that addiction is not a disease, but a complex behavioral and spiritual disorder. There are evidenced-based interventions that promote recovery. You need not be relegated to a life of suffering. The recovery tools that have helped many recover, including myself, are laid out right here for you to pick up and use to create a new life.
I am here to offer you hope. You can end addiction for good. The life you were always meant to live is just around the corner. Allow this website to be the first step on that journey of recovery. Welcome.

"Grand Bahama is the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life."
Johnaceo "Nay Nay" Saunders, Grand Bahama IslandGrand Bahama Island
There's something for everyone on Grand Bahama Island. With a distinct mix of historic appeal, modern attractions and ecological wonders, your visit is sure to be memorable. On Grand Bahama Island, you can combine a glamorous vacation at an upscale resort with the charming allure of a small town. Boasting one of the world's largest underwater cave systems, three national parks, endless beaches and crisp blue water, Grand Bahama Island has it all.
Discover more about Grand Bahama Island
Full of history and charm, Grand Bahama Island is a complete vacation destination. Some of the island's settlements, such as Pinder's Point, Russell Town and William's Town, are named after the former families who founded them. Today, these settlements serve as cultural hot spots for visitors. There are three distinct destinations on Grand Bahama Island—East End, Freeport/Lucaya and West End—each offering their own unique experience. And if you're looking to tour some natural surroundings, feel free to explore the island's three national parks, two of which are home to a large numbers of native birds.

ImageLinks Laconic Main Quotes main index Narrative
The Big Boss of the universe in monotheistic religions. The Alpha And The Omega, the Big Cheese, the Big Guy in the Sky, the Almighty, the Creator, the Capital G, the Ceiling Cat, Old Beardy.
If all of existence is one big story, He's THE Big Good, God of Good, and just generally good.
Metaphysical human concept or not, He's got a pretty large chunk of humanity as believers and followers, thanks in part to best-selling books such as The Bible and The Qur'an, which feature God as a prevalent character, if not the main character.
Using God as a character rather than simply referring to the Powers That Be or using terms without religious connotations is a dicey proposition, as it is just about the only thing you can do, other than a series finale Clip Show, that is 100% guaranteed to alienate a chunk of the viewers.
Shows in which God plays a major role tend not to last very long, regardless of their various good points. This is a major reason for Have You Seen My God? and Pieces of God. Since depicting God is attempting to portray an infinite divine being in human terms and ideas, this is problematic at best. Rather than giving God an explicitly defined human shape and face, most tend towards a human-like figure with an obscured face, one or two giant hands in the sky, or even nothing more than an ALL CAPS WORD BUBBLE.
God is also not always seen as the benevolent ruler of everything, hence why tropes such as God Is Evil exist. Some of this is Alternate Character Interpretation from The Bible and similar works, but some of it is authors liking to subvert audience expectations. Works which feature Rage Against the Heavens often feature God being a jerk, if not outright malevolent to his creation, though some would say he's more concerned with perfect justice than just being nice. Taking this depiction to its furthest extent creates a variation on the Cosmic Horror Story.
In pretty much every case, though, God is shown as being very powerful, and usually all-knowing. Since God is believed by followers to be the driving force behind the entire universe, this also makes a good deal of sense. Also common is a portrayal of God as the ultimate Chessmaster, and capable of executing an eternity spanning plan. This, of course, leads people to wonder why God doesn't just solve the problem of evil with a single metaphysical finger snap, but that's a discussion best left to theologians.
He's usually portrayed as the only deity in the works He appears in, but writers have played with the premise. Some depictions create an opposing force to God equal in stature to Him, The Anti-God. Sometimes Satan is portrayed like this. Another variation is for there to be multiple lesser god-like being below Him. Both of these are actually in contrast to at least Abrahamic religious canon, but that hasn't stopped fiction.
Possibly due to the influence of works like Bruce Almighty, God has been showing up increasingly often in media recently. Subversions and parodies are also increasingly common (see King of All Cosmos), but limited to Black Comedy - once you've turned God into a joke, it's hard to do anything else.
The danger of being burned at the stake leads to many writers choosing to thinly veil God as a Crystal Dragon Jesus or "The Light". Said God may even refuse the label for personal reasons.
The Maker is often a stand-in for God, if it isn't outright Him.
For a full rundown of the way God or Gods are portrayed, see Our Gods Are Greater. For tropes about them, see God Tropes.

Law enforcement officials have tried without success for years to make Rhode Island's gun laws more stringent. They say tougher laws would help to deter gun-related violence. Now, in the aftermath of the massacre in Newtown, Connecticut, the question remains whether Rhode Island will beef up its gun laws. For starters, gun control supporters will have to overcome powerful opposition from the National Rifle Association.
Welcome back to my Friday column. As always your tips and thoughts are weclome at idonnis (at) ripr (dot) org. Let's get to it.
House Speaker Gordon Fox is stepping down from the rostrum and taking on another role this weekend- Motown music historian. The house leader has a deep love for the R&B and soul music that came out of the Motor City back in the 1960's.
When Gordon Fox was a kid, his home was filled with the sounds of Motown. He listened to his sister's records by the Supremes and Temptations. And every Saturday his mom would dance to Motown while cleaning the house. Fox says as a bi-racial kid growing up, the blend of pop and soul spoke to him.
A group opposing same-sex marriage says it's confident that the Rhode Island Senate will defeat legislation allowing same-sex couples to marry. The bill passed handily Thursday night in the House
Just minutes after the historic vote in the House, speaker Gordon Fox urged Senate President Teresa Paiva Weed to pass the bill in her chamber. There's no word when the senate judiciary committee will take it up, and Paiva Weed opposes the legislation.
Same sex marriage has won overwhelming approval in the Rhode Island House. RIPR political analyst Scott MacKay on what's next in this historic debate.
If you don't believe the political landscape in Rhode Island has undergone a seismic shift, you weren't at McKim, Mead and White's State House for the historic House vote on same sex marriage. The measure won overwhelmingly on a 51 to 19 tally.
"Just pass it." That's what House Speaker Gordon Fox says he wants the senate president to do with the same-sex marriage bill that passed last night and is now heading to the senate. The House vote was not only an historic vote, but an emotional one.
During nearly 90 minutes of debate a handful of representatives spoke out against the measure. Arthur Corvese, a North Providence democrat, was one of them.
Same-sex marriage legislation has cleared its first hurdle in the Rhode Island General Assembly. The House Judiciary Committee approved marriage equality legislation proposed by Rep. Art Handy, D-Cranston on a unanimous vote. The historic move represents the first time any committee in either RI legislative chamber has approved a gay marriage measure.
A bill that would legalize same-sex marriage in Rhode Island has cleared its first legislative hurdle. The House Judiciary Committee overwhelmingly approved the legislation, paving the way for a full House vote later this week.
The crowd assembled for the same sex marriage vote erupted in applause and cheers when the House Judiciary Committee voted unanimously to pass the bill on to the full House. The panel had heard hours of testimony. By the time it came to vote, only Committee chair Edith Ajello had anything left to say.
For once Rhode Island politicians have a chance at being part of the solution. RIPR political analyst Scott MacKay says even a small State House change on gun violence would resonate with voters.
A House Judiciary Committee hearing kicked off Tuesday with testimony from the lead sponsor of a bill to legalize same-sex marriage in Rhode Island, state Representative Art Handy (D-Cranston). He said it was the eleventh time he has introduced such legislation, but wasn't sure precisely how long similar bills have been filed. Handy said he thought the first was 18 years ago, but his point was really that the time has long since come to grant marriage rights to same-sex couples in Rhode Island.

With Libya engulfed in civil war, the continuing turmoil in the Mideast returned to the top of the mainstream news agenda.
From February 21-27, events in the Middle East, dominated by the precarious situation in Libya, accounted for 35% of the newshole, according to the Pew Research Center's Project for Excellence in Journalism. Up from 22% the previous week, this marks the fourth time in the last five weeks the Mideast has ranked as the No. 1 story in PEJ's News Coverage Index.
A closely related topic—the rise in oil and gas prices attributed to the Libyan instability—filled another 2% of the newshole.
