The commitment and time of volunteers continues to amaze and astound. During 1997, 1,200 dedicated people contributed over 16,000 hours of volunteer service for companion animals. These dedicated individuals gave their time and love to improve and save the lives of thousands of companion animals. On June 21,1997, we closed our PAWS Thrift Store, located at 85th and Greenwood in Seattle. For the next one and a half months—with the help of generous donations of material—we cleaned, hammered, nailed, tiled, and painted. On August 8, PAWS opened its first satellite adoption center. At its inception, the PAWS Greenwood Adoption Center was to become the first of its kind in the Northwest. After careful thought, we decided to build cat colonies. There are two colonies and each colony can house up to eight adult cats—and even more kittens. Both the cats and people benefit from this cageless environment. Cats are allowed to roam around the room and lounge on any number of perches available. Potential adopters are able to observe more of the cat's personality in this open environment. During the spring and summer, a passerby is likely to see playful kittens romping about the colony located in the storefront of the adoption center. By year end, the Greenwood Adoption Center had adopted 382 cats and kittens into new homes. The Adoption Partnership Program helped provide space in the shelter for cats needing homes by placing them in offsite locations including eleven pet supply stores and a veterinary clinic. These twelve partners helped find homes for 242 cats, many with special needs. Last year was a banner year for the PAWS Foster Care Program; over 700 animals were given another chance at finding a loving home. More than 600 of these animals were kittens under the age of eight weeks, many of them not yet weaned. Most of these kittens began to arrive at our door in March and continued throughout the summer. The commitment and care provided was an immense undertaking and we would like to thank those staff and volunteer foster homes for their valiant efforts. (Anyone interested in becoming a foster home or foster care placement volunteer, please contact the Foster Care Coordinator at extension 822.) In cooperation with PAWS, twenty seven veterinary clinics offered special low-priced spay and neuter surgery on Spay Day '97. Four hundered and four dogs and cats were altered through this one day promotion. Forty three animals were adopted from PAWS during the May 3, 1997 Adoptathon. One of our main goals in 1997 was to not kill healthy, adoptable animals. PAWS accomplished what it set out to do! We were able bring our euthanasia rate to an all time low of 15%. This marks a more than 10% drop from the year before. PAWS continues on its path to lower that rate even further in 1998.

The annual Broad Street Film Festival is a celebration of the creative achievements of the students of Bryan College, Covenant College, University of Tennessee at Chattanooga, Southern Adventist University, Lee University, and Chattanooga State, as displayed through the medium of film. During the academic year leading up to the Spring semester film festival, students script, shoot, edit, and produce films that can range in length from just a few minutes up to feature-length presentations.
These films are then judged by a group of professional filmmakers and critics from Chattanooga and Los Angeles; and awards are presented based on story, creativity, professionalism, and more. The films are also screened before the festival by students, and a People's Choice Award is given to the film that garners the most votes from the filmmakers' peers.

Mattel /quotes/zigman/75129/delayed/quotes/nls/mat MAT -0.69% said it's agreed to pay $680 million in cash to acquire HIT Entertainment, a company that generates more than $180 million in yearly revenue. Launched in 1989, HIT Entertainment produces entertainment geared toward preschoolers including such characters as Thomas the Tank Engine, purple dinosaur Barney and Bob the Builder. Mattel is buying HIT Entertainment from a consortium led by Apax Partners funds and said it anticipates closing on the deal in the first quarter of next year, but it isn't expected to contribute materially to the company's 2012 earnings.

Shares of Weston, Mass.-based Biogen Idec /quotes/zigman/91573/delayed/quotes/nls/biib BIIB -0.59% rallied on Friday, after it released positive Phase III clinical data for BG-12, its orally administered drug for multiple sclerosis.
Netflix Inc. /quotes/zigman/87598/delayed/quotes/nls/nflx NFLX -0.56% confirmed that it will launch its online streaming and DVD-by-mail subscription service in the U.K. and Ireland starting early next year. The Los Gatos, Calif.-based company, which currently serves the U.S., Canada and Latin America, is also scheduled to report quarterly financial results later Monday.
Pinnacle Airlines Corp. said the regional carrier's 871 flight attendants have voted to ratify what it called a revised tentative labor agreement. It provides a five-year extension for a collective-bargaining agreement that became amendable on Jan. 31, the Memphis-based company said. Terms were not available.

Resurrecting Love: The Cemetery That Can Heal A Nation
Ben Galland, China Galland Resurrecting Love: The Cemetery That Can Heal A Nation is a feature-length documentary set in East Texas where the illegal lockout of African-American descendants from their 175-year old family burial ground echoes the attitudes of the slave-holding culture that once thrived there. The hard-won friendship of two women, one African-American and one white, fights for memory against oblivion. Will the cemetery and the buried history it holds be overgrown and forgotten or will these two women and the community behind them prevail? | When making a fiscal sponsorship donation with a credit card, 3% is deducted from the donation amount to cover the merchant account processing fees.

I spent Tuesday through Friday about 70 pm "stuck" on the 10th Floor of an apartment building with no electricity, no heat and only intermittent cold water. Luckily, we have gas stoves and gas service was still working.If I were younger, I might have ventured downstairs - but for what? Everything in the area was closed and dark.No cell service, my landline is cordless so that was useless. I did have a transistor radio but the only station I could pick up was NPR ... and believe me, that was a listening experience.And - I had books, magazines, canned food, and plenty of yarn to knit.

I am thrilled that some of the people without power are getting it back. We lost power for 10 days during an ice storm, it was awful. The people of New York and New Jersey are fellow Americans, I would not wish hardship on any of them. There have been some minor problems with people who have offered to help, that always happens. A crew from New Orleans repaired my cable line after the ice storm and that had to be reworked. The basic lesson here is that in a crisis Americans help each other.

Newsflash -- NYC is not a monolithic, unitary organism, dedicated to uber-liberalism. Nor is its identity solely political.It has all the ills -- and good -- of any large human enterprise. That one city has more [real] economic productivity than many of the world's countries. It has a huge and irreplaceable cultural component. Among about a zillion ["A zillion? That's a lot." ~~ "Mr. Escobar," in "Get Shorty"] other net positives.I prefer to leave broad-brush smearing to Leftists, who not only eschew discernment, but actively seek to kill it in the cradle.

I wonder what NYC thinks about the less-than-Katrina-coverage by the "msm" to ONCE AGAIN protect their dear Leader-obama! It isn't NYC OR the Utilities or even N.J., that are the problem.. It's the Mayors and the Governors running them, along with the "preezy-of-the-united-steezy".. WHERE is the outrage for the victims of Sandy? WHERE is "Shep" smith?

Having no power is tolerable for a few days. Having your house and all your memories go floating out to sea can make you inconsolable. The images of those beautiful homes crushed and broken apart is heartbreaking.I recall all the downright unkind words by some on this forum after Katrina. As if anyone DESERVES to be put in misery or asked for it? As if we all lived on the Gov't dole and in some rundown project?New York is a HUGE city, after all, and the misery was, and still is, great. I'm glad power was restored to a lot of places there so people can get back to work and the voting machines back in order, lest a vote or two for Romney might come forth. wink wink.

Why Bloomberg has been elected against even more leftist candidates (yes, it's that bad -- he was the best running and ran at first as a Republican -- but even as stink as he's been, he's still better than his opponents were).

I grew up in the New York metro area, Jersey side, and have the greatest respect and admiration for this great city. Seeing how this city bounced back after 911, Sandy is just a blip on the radar screen for them. New Yorkers operate at a much higher speed than the rest of the country. By Thanksgiving, Sandy will be an unpleasant memory and life will almost be back to normal for most, especially with the optimism our new President Elect Mitt Romney.

Having been through hurricanes Alicia and Ike, I know what its like to listen to the winds and wonder how its all going to end and then emerge to realize that the hardships have only just begun. For friends and family who are in NYC and NY and other states affected, I wish you a speedy recovery. Know that you aren't alone and you join fellow Americans who have lived through this weather and come out stronger and better because of it.Having said that, this is directed towards the self-serving nincompoops who voted for Obama, voted for Bloomberg, voted for people who raised taxes so high they forced people to leave the state, thereby losing two representatives, and are cr& p headed enough to vote for these people again AND follow every vaporous leftist policy with the Pavlovian fever of a dog in heat: we here in flyover country ain't surprised, and what goes around, comes around. And this message is especially for Chuckie Schumer: you want our sympathy for your state after what you did to Houston? THINK AGAIN. You know what what you can do with your need for sympathy in this matter. Suck it up and leave the rest of us alone. New Yawk AINT the center of America, especially where us Texans are concerned.

IMHO, #1 was out of bounds. The residents of NYC and the surrounding area are suffering and don't deserve to be piled on, regardless of politics.There are a couple of trucks of supplies coming down from the Burlington,VT area to Sandy victims. I, personally went to Dollar Tree yesterday and filled two carts with whatever I could find that would help but not spoil and food that could be eaten cold or easily cooked over a cook fire. I found cleaning supplies, personal hygene supplies and baby supplies. In all, I sent more than $100 worth of supplies to people I don't know and with whom I don't share the same political beliefs simply because I can't stand that my fellow Americans are suffering.WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO HELP???!!!

For those with cordless phones (or cell phones that need charged?). We don't live in a big city - just out in the sticks where more than 3 flakes of snow (or more likely, high wind or freezing rain) often seems to take down the power. I learned long ago to keep one cheap corded phone around which could be plugged in if needed and then later, simply used a small UPS (battery backup, for those not familiar with computerese) and plug a cordless phone and a cell charger into it. Even a smallish UPS will last for many hours and a medium or larger one for many days for such a small load as a phone or charger. They are not particularly large and can sometimes be found on sales at office supply stores. We also have a generator for the furnace and a few lights/outlets - but it is outside and I don't go out and wrestle with it unless I expect an extended outage. It is very helpful though, for the usual outage, to be able to call the power company or 911 if a serious emergency would arise during an outage. Click Here if you Like this Comment
I really am amazed that this site stayed up the entire time. Good job, L-com!Once the power comes back on, it is easier to get things cleaned up. Those battery operated chain saws only work for so long. From experience, using a cross-cut saw is slow going. Click Here if you Like this Comment

Draft International Convention on the Condition and Protection of Civilians of enemy nationality who are on territory belonging to or occupied by a belligerent. Tokyo, 1934.
This draft originated in the exactions suffered by innumerable civilian victims during World War I. As of the end of this conflict, the need to ensure mandatory legal protection for civilians became abundantly clear. In this context, several International Conferences of the Red Cross (Tenth in 1921; Eleventh in 1923 and twelfth in 1925, all in Geneva) adopted Resolutions inviting the ICRC to undertake action in this field. The Final Act of the Diplomatic Conference of 1929 recalled the unanimous wish of participants "that an extensive examination be made with a view to concluding and international convention on the condition and protection of enemy civilians on the territory of a belligerent or on territory occupied by him". In response to these requests, the ICRC set up a commission of experts who were set the task of drawing up a draft convention. Two categories of civilians were to be protected by this instrument:
1. enemy civilians on the territory of a belligerent
2. civilians in the power of the enemy in occupied territories.
Whereas the protection of the first category of civilians constituted an entirely new idea, the work on the protection of civilians in occupied territories aimed to complete and specify the regulations set forth in Articles 42-56 of the "Regulations concerning the law and customs of war on land", annexed to the Convention (IV) of the Hague of 1907.
The draft prepared by the Commission was adopted at the fifteenth International Conference of the Red Cross in Tokyo in 1934 and contains four distinct subjects:
I. The status of enemy civilians
II. Enemy civilians on the territory of a belligerent
III. Enemy civilians on the territory occupied by a belligerent
IV. Implementation of the Convention.
The draft was to have been discussed at the Diplomatic Conference convened by the Swiss government at the beginning of 1940 but the outbreak of hostilities prevented this meeting from taking place.
Nonetheless, from the very first days of the war, the ICRC proposed that belligerents put the Tokyo Draft into effect but this proposal was rejected.
It was not until 1949 that the proposals contained in the Tokyo Draft were reconsidered. They offered an extremely important basis for discussions which led to the adoption of the Geneva Convention (IV) of 1949.

A major tragedy was averted in Dunkirk early Tuesday. It was not because of the fire department, which deserves praise for containing and dousing the blaze, but the readiness of those living in the structure.
At 5:50 a.m., a call for a fully involved building came to emergency officials. When they arrived on the scene, those firefighters were unsure if occupants were still in the building.
Fortunately, all those living at 184 King St. had escaped. City fire chief Keith Ahlstrom praised those who lived there for having detectors that were in working condition.
"The biggest thing is, and this fire is an example, we had the possibility of a very poor outcome," he said. "The smoke detectors in the house were functioning so somebody obviously had been taking care of them and had changed the batteries on them. They did wake these people up at a time when everybody is normally sleeping. So, if anything, make sure your smoke detector is working. Test it, make sure that it's working."
And while we've heard it all before, here is one instance where it paid off. Five people are alive because of a smoke detector.
It really is a minor miracle.

Joshua Micah Marshall is the editor of Talking Points Memo and a senior correspondent for the Prospect.
Sandy Levin, a veteran Democratic congressman from a heavily unionized district in suburban Detroit, has a problem. Crowded into his Capitol Hill office are a couple dozen union representatives who have come to talk to him about China's accession to the World Trade Organization (WTO). It's a testy, uncomfortable moment; the union reps are not happy.
Not so long ago, Democrats just loved the idea of third-party candidates who came along and shaved points off the margins of major party nominees. The offices at the Democratic National Committee echoed with schadenfreude last fall when Pat Buchanan jumped ship for the Reform Party. But now, with Ralph Nader making a strong showing in early polls and threatening to take progressive votes away from Al Gore, third-party candidacies suddenly seem a lot less appealing to the Democrats.
For some time, left-liberal types flirted with the Naderites or refrained from attacking them frontally. But now that's all changed. Partly, this stems from the fact that the prospect of his tipping the election to George W. Bush -- in the electoral if not the popular vote -- now seems very real. But there's another reason as well.
As with most political battles, the set-to over Social Security reform has produced competing dramatic narratives. For the Democratic faithful, there's Al Gore fighting the good fight against the right's effort to privatize Social Security, the crown jewel of the New Deal. For Republicans there's George W. Bush, courageously tackling the Social Security crisis while Gore panders. But another story line has captured the imagination of the national political press. It goes something like this: Bush proposes his Social Security initiative; Gore attacks it as a risky scheme.

Bavarian Sausage Supper Recipe
"My mom, who's a great cook, shared the recipe for this easy skillet meal," comments Pat Frankovich of North Olmstead, Ohio. "Spicy kielbasa makes a flavored noodle and sauce mix truly delicious."
- 2 cups coleslaw mix
- 1 cup thinly sliced carrots
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2-1/4 cups water
- 3/4 pound Johnsonville® Polish Kielbasa Sausage or Polish sausage, sliced into 1/4-inch pieces
- 1 package (4.9 ounces) quick-cooking noodles and sour cream and chive sauce mix
- 1/2 teaspoon caraway seeds, optional
- In a large skillet, saute coleslaw mix and carrots in butter until crisp-tender. Add water; bring to a boil. Stir in remaining ingredients. Return to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and cook, for 8 minutes or until noodles are tender, stirring occasionally. Yield: 5 servings.

Can't get much easier! My family loves sausage and this dish is easy and fast and always a winner. Can't go wrong serving this one up often!
Reviewed Jan. 25, 2012
This has become a great go to recipe for me as well. I couldn't find the sour cream noodles so I use the herb and butter as suggested, but then added a tablespoon of sour cream just before serving and adding a bit more caraway and pepper gave more flavor. I have also used herb and butter rice as a substitute in a pinch. Great recipe!
Reviewed May. 19, 2011
This recipe is a classic one in my house. Anytime I need a yummy, quick dinner, this is one I make! It's SO good.... creamy... yet you get the flavor from the sausage. Yum! Can't find the Sour Cream & Onion noodles anymore, so I buy the Butter & Herb normally.

What is the difference between credit and debt? Credit is your ability to borrow money from a lender. Debt is the money that you borrow and must repay. For example, you may have a credit card with a credit line of $500. If you use it to make a $50 purchase, you now have $50 of debt and $450 in credit. If you take a $600 loan, you have $600 of debt. Credit and debt are linked in another way. If you use credit and then repay your debt on time, lenders will be willing to give you better terms and possibly more credit.
When you receive a credit card or take out a loan, you have agreed to a series of terms including how much interest you will pay and how much you will repay at predetermined times. If you pay late or if you fail to pay at all, there is a much greater impact to your credit than additional fees alone.
How Choices with Credit Effect You
The use of credit is not a bad thing - the wise use of credit is what matters. In order to qualify for credit - you actually need to have a credit history. Therefore it is important to manage and maintain your credit wisely. In the following video tips are provided on how to establish good credit within 6 months to a year.
Why and How to Build a Credit History. I'm sorry, but your browser does not suppoert the embed tag. The embed tag embedded a builidng credit video Builidng Credit Video
Establishing credit in your own for the first time can be difficult. There are several possible ways to go about it. First, you could apply for a credit card at a department or specialy store. These are usually easier to obtain, but higher in interest, than a card from a financial institution.
You could apply for a bank loan or card that is secured by money you have on deposit with the bank. You would establish a credit history by charging and paying off your bill without resorting to the money you are using to secure the credit.
You could also ask a family member or friend to co-sign a loan for you. This does mean that in the event that you are not able to make the payments your cosigner will be required to make them.
W hen a credit card issuer, bank, or other lender is considering your credit application, they use various factors to decide whether or not to give you credit. Creditors obtain this information from several sources including your credit application and your credit report. There are three main areas they look at to determine whether or not to lend you money: character, capacity and collateral.
Creditors assess your personal character in being able to repay the amount you owe. They consider whether or not you will be responsible, you will make the payments on time, review how long you've worked at your current job, how long you've lived at your current address, review your credit history and how you've handled credit in the past.
Capacity is the term to describe whether or not you have the ability to take on credit, in addition to your regular expenses, such as food, gas, housing, etc. Lenders also consider how many other payment responsibilities you have, whether you have a steady source of income, how many dependents you have and whether or not you pay child support.
Collateral is a type of guarantee ( an asset) that the lender uses in case you don't repay what you owe. A typical scenario is when you borrow money to buy a house, and you don't make your payments, then the house becomes the property of the lender, (typically a bank). Other assets can include a savings or checking account, car, jewelry or even an art collection.

Having a poor credit score impacts your ability to get a security clearance. Without one, you may not qualify for BRAC employment.
• For more information about how to obtain a security clearance, go to:
According to the Project Scope website (Students, Financial Literacy), the two reasons why your personal finances impact your ability to get a security clearance is because:
• The US government is concerned when people are financially overextended because it puts them at risk of engaging in illegal activities to generate money.
• Many employers are taking steps to insure they hire candidates that are making good decisions in their personal lives that will enable them to become good employees.

Heavy-lift helicopter manufacturer Erickson Air-Crane Inc. (EAC) received an exclusive firefighting services contract from the US Forest Service ("USFS"). Per the contract, the company will provide aerial firefighting services using one of its heavy-lift Aircrane helicopters. This is a precautionary measure taken by the federal authority ahead of the upcoming forest fire season.
Erickson Air-Crane will have one of its heavy duty helicopters stationed in Boise, Idaho, which will be pressed into action whenever there is a distress call. Erickson Air-Crane's expertise in handling such extreme situations helped it to get this new exclusive contract.
The company has a long working relationship with USFS. This new contract increases the total exclusive contract count between the two parties to eight. Like the other contracts USFS might extend this contract for another three years.
The company's able firefighting crew with proven expertise makes it a preferred choice over its peers. In May 2012, the company was awarded a $44 million, three-year contract by the NATO Maintenance and Supply Agency ("NAMSA") to provide aerial firefighting services in Greece.
Erickson Air-Crane generates the majority of its revenue from its Aerial Services. In the first quarter 2012, revenue generated from this segment was $25.1 million (91% of revenue) while the Manufacturing division contributed the rest. The success of Aerial Services is guaranteed given its run of recent contract wins.
The company reiterated its earnings per share expectation for 2012 in the range of 72 cents to 82 cents. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for 2012 is 69 cents.
Erickson Air-Crane currently retains a Zacks #3 Rank (short-term Hold rating). The company competes with the likes of Embraer SA (ERJ) and Northrop Grumman Corporation (NOC) in the defense niche.
Based in Portland, Oregon, Erickson Air-Crane is the manufacturer of a powerful heavy-lift helicopter, Erickson S-64 Aircrane. The company also operates a fleet of heavy helicopters and provides a variety of services to the US government and its worldwide customers. Its service offerings include firefighting, timber harvesting, infrastructure construction, and crewing.

self drawn pattern inspired on a pair of pants from the 1830's which I saw in a pattern book for historical costumes and uniforms published by Mller&Sohn. I used this 30 years old tweed which I have found in my mother's storage. I love the fabric!!! It was a lot of handsewing: the haircanvas interfacing, all biasbands(about 15m) and the button holes….. A lot of things went wrong this time but in the end it was all the work worth. I can wear this pants also with suspenders. I still have frabric left. I will make another waistcoat from it, a regular one.
but it was all the work worth.

Protecting Emergency Responders, Volume 4
Personal Protective Equipment Guidelines for Structural Collapse Events
This monograph serves as a technical source for National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) incident commander guidelines for emergency response immediately following large structural collapse events. It characterizes response activities and expected hazards, and develops guidelines for selecting appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE). The partial or complete collapse of a multistory building creates an array of physical, chemical, and biological hazards. The most significant uncertainties are the composition and magnitude of the hazards present in the postcollapse environment. Although hazard monitoring can reduce these uncertainties, this type of monitoring will not be available during the first few postcollapse hours. The guidelines focus on three issues that present unique challenges in the response to a multistory-building collapse: (1) protection from biological hazards; (2) protection from inhalation of hazardous materials; and (3) required modifications to responders' typical PPE ensembles because of the duration and intensity of the response. However, selecting and purchasing appropriate PPE does not alone ensure safety; the guidelines also address the need to provide adequate supply of equipment and training so that it is used correctly.

The Image Fulgurator is, roughly speaking, an analog photo camera "working in reverse". The device enables one to project images on other people's photographs! The following schematic illustrates quite nicely how this "projector" works:
[ schematic courtesy of Julius von Bismarck ]
The Image Fulgurator was built by German artist Julius von Bismarck. Here's what Julius says about his creation:
The Image Fulgurator is a device for physically manipulating photographs. It intervenes when a photo is being taken, without the photographer being able to detect anything. The manipulation is only visible on the photo afterwards.
In principle, the Fulgurator can be used anywhere where there is another camera nearby that is being used with a flash. It operates via a kind of reactive flash projection that enables an image to be projected on an object exactly at the moment when someone else is photographing it. The intervention is unobtrusive because it takes only a few milliseconds. Every photo another photographer takes of an object at which the Fulgurator is also aimed is affected by the manipulation. Hence visual information can be smuggled unnoticed into the images of others.
The Image Fulgurator is equipped with a slave flash that is triggered whenever a master flash is fired. Note that if you do not use flash when taking photos, you do not risk getting your photos "fulgurated". I would say that many people have reacted to this device in an overly negative manner. I believe that the Image Fulgurator is a good idea and that Julius deserves credit for his ingenuity.

Kristen Wiig was born August 22, 1973, in Canandaigua, New York. She debuted on Saturday Night Live in 2005. When Amy Poehler left SNL in November 2008, Wiig became the most senior female cast member on the program. On the heels of her success at SNL, she made her film debut in 2007's Knocked Up, followed by roles in Adventureland, Extract, Whip It and MacGruber. Although she left SNL in 2012,
"It's a mystery to me what makes people laugh. I just try to be as real as possible."
she went on to star in popular films, such as the Academy Award-nominated Bridesmaids.
Early Life
Comedian and actress Kristen Carroll Wiig was born on August 22, 1973, in Canandaigua, New York. Wiig's family moved to Lancaster, Pennsylvania,a when she was 3 years old before settling in Rochester, New York. Her parents divorced when she was 9 years old, and Wiig lived with her mother and older brother Erik, who is mentally disabled. Even as a child, Wiig had a quirky sense of humor. She later recalled of her youth, "I used to carry my dad's empty guitar case around the neighborhood because I wanted people to think I played the guitar. I would put Flintstones vitamins in it in case I got tired, so I could pop some and keep walking."
After graduating from Rochester's Brighton High School, Wiig enrolled at the University of Arizona as an art student. It was there that Wiig, a natural introvert, enrolled in her first acting class. "I was terrified," she said. "I don't really like talking in front of groups of people. Through high school if ever I had to give a speech, I would try to get out of it or not go to school that day... But I took the class, and I liked it, and the teacher was really encouraging for me to keep doing it."
Pursuing Acting Dream
After graduation, Wiig got a job at a plastic surgery clinic, where she was supposed to produce drawings of clients' post-surgery bodies. The day before she was to start, she found herself alone at the house she shared with roommates in Tucson. "I looked in the mirror and was like, 'OK, if you could do anything, what would it be?' And I thought, 'I would move to L.A. Just try to act,'" she recalled. "The next day, the Jetta was packed and I was gone, freaking out the whole way."
After arriving in Los Angeles, Wiig took a job folding clothes at the store Anthropologie. The string of odd jobs she held over the next few years included selling peaches at a farmer's market, catering Hollywood events, babysitting, working in a floral design shop and selling hot dogs at the mall. She was unsatisfied with traditional acting classes. Then a co-worker took her to a show at the Groundlings, the celebrated improv troupe that launched the careers of Saturday Night Live (SNL) stars like Will Ferrell and Maya Rudolph. Wiig was hooked. "That place changed my life," she said.
'Saturday Night Live'
Wiig auditioned and got a spot on the Groundlings. Even on a stage full of funny people, Kristen Wiig soon established herself as a standout. She made audiences laugh with characters she'd later bring to SNL, like the over-enthusiastic Target clerk and the crotchety film reviewer Aunt Linda.

A fantastic writer/artist tandem. Capullo's layouts are extry-kewl. Years and years ago, I probably wouldn't have liked Batman drawn the way Capullo draws him, but I certainly do now. Capullo's DC 52 Batman print has become one of my favorite Bat-images.
I might be inclined to agree...if J.H. Williams was still drawing it. Elegy is awesome (both story and art).

Batman. It's not even remotely close. Tec & TDK are trash and Batman is superlative.
Saga, Chew, Umbral, Deadly Class, The Private Eye
She-Hulk, Loki: Agent of Asgard, Moon Knight, The Punisher, All-New X-Factor
If you want anything else from the Bat family, Batwoman.
Batman Inc. comes out soon and will probably be good as well.
I would say Batgirl, Birds of Prey are probably the next best, but we are already into the B-/C+ territory and you should get something else if you are limited. Right now Dark Knight and Detective are off-limits until new writers come on and then we'll see.
Last edited by maxpower00044; 05-02-2012 at 02:27 PM.
Batman and Batgirl are outstanding.
Batwoman 1-5 are awesome but 6-8 are awful and it's purely on the story structure if it was being told in regular chronological order I'm sure it would be good but for now the second arc sucks imo. Even the writer cant get his timeline correct since in issue 8 Maggie gets stabbed with a syring six nights ago and Kate confronts and assaults Chase 1 week (7 nights) ago about the incident despite the fact it doesn't happen till the next day.
The only issue of Tec you need is #9 as its the only good issue.
Dark Knight is ok but nothing special. gets a new writer with issue 10 though so you coudl see how you like that.
Suicide Squad is decent but only 2 characters are really focused on and everyone else keeps dying so its hard to care about anyone outside Harley and Deadshot.
Batman has been wicked. Every single issue leaves you wanting more, as Snyder's writing tends to do. As others have said though, Dark Knight will likely be much better once Hurwitz takes reins as writer. Loved his Penguin: Pride and Prejudice mini, and I'm not even a fan of the character.
Excellent, will definitely have to get that one then.
I've bought and read all of Batwoman, utterly brilliant, but as others have commented, the later 3 issues are a bit iffy exposition wise. I'm sticking with it though. Batman, bloody brilliant also, just onto issue 5 now. 2 more to add to the subscription....
Yes, Batman is the one to follow. Scott Snyder's been a strong writer for DC, and Greg Capullo (new to me as of Batman) is killing it.
After that, I am really enjoying the hell out of Batwoman. I read Batgirl for 4 or 5 issues, but it wasn't doing it for me, writing or art...
haha, blimey where did that come from
Snyder's Batman is my pick for you, an amazing book especially with this current event!
I'm Batman!
Detective>Batman>Batman and Robin>Batman:The Dark Knight
And INC is the wild card which IM looking forward to.
Sane Bat-Time, Sane Bat-Channel...

What is your desktop file? The desktop file is an invisible file, actually a database, that keeps track of the location of every file and folder that is on the Macintosh hard drive. As files are moved around, items deleted, and folders created, the Mac adds information to the desktop file, but never deletes entries previously made in the database. Also, when "surfing" the internet, the web browser collects every page that was visited and caches it on to the hard drive. The desktop file keeps track of all of these little files too.
Why rebuild the desktop file? The more files that are created, moved and deleted, the larger the desktop file grows. As a result operation of the computer gets slower because the Mac is struggling to "remember" what is currently stored in each folder. The only way to shrink the desktop file and keep the Mac up to speed is to rebuild the desktop file. Newer Macs may not show noticeable slow down from an unwieldy desktop file, but it is still a good habit to routinely rebuild the desktop once a month.
In order to rebuild to desktop file restart the Mac while pressing the Option and Command keys (the Command key has the apple icon). However, because some startup files may interrupt the desktop rebuilding process, which will result in totally garbled desktop, it is recommended to reboot the Mac with Extensions off. The procedure of rebooting with Extensions off is described below.
Important!: Turning the Extensions off and rebuilding the desktop needs to be done during the startup cycle.

The average age of the Hotchkiss town council took a plunge last week, as members of the Hotchkiss High School student government took seats alongside council members for the regular town meeting.
The joining of the two entities began last spring, according to HHS assistant principal Glen Suppes, when town council was invited to hold one of its meetings at the school.
In return, council invited members of the school's student government to sit with them at a meeting at Town Hall.
Their first consideration was a proposed mill levy increase. Delta County Libraries is seeking voter approval of a mill levy increase of 1.67 mills in the November election to fund library operations. The increase is about $27 per year for a $200,000 house, said trustee at large Bill Crank. For a $300,000 house the increase would be $37-$38 a year.
Crank explained that the district is currently funded by a mill levy approved in 1997, which now provides the district about $900,000 a year. With devaluation of properties in the county, added Crank, the library district expects to lose about $140,000 this year. Currently, said Crank, there is not enough money coming in to keep up with expanded programming, current hours of operation and all the other services and products libraries now provide, such as e-books and movies.
They also need money for maintenance and basic upkeep. "We don't even have a full-time janitor for the libraries," said Crank.
Crank said it was appropriate to have students present for the trustees' vote. "I've seen many of you at the library," said Crank.
Trustee James Roberts said that some entities operate on volunteer hours. Why can't the libraries?
Library board member Katie Gnauck replied that many of the services library staff provide, such as ESL and GED preparation classes, are specialized and not suited for the average volunteer. "Volunteers are great for book sales," said Gnauck, "but we need trained people."
After discussion, during which both students and councilors agreed that libraries are important to local communities, council and student government members voted unanimously to approve the letter of support.
Appropriately enough, many of the items on the agenda dealt with school issues.
Hotchkiss High School assistant principal Glen Suppes reported that student enrollment is down about 20 students, at 210 students, but that number could still rise. Of those students, 73 are earning college credits.
Three agenda items later, council voted to approve a request from Suppes for a $500 donation to the Hotchkiss Bulldog Booster Club. The booster club has helped fund many projects lately, including planting grass on the infield of the baseball park and rebuilding graduating photo displays in order to preserve the pictures.
The booster club supports the entire school, and not just athletics, said Suppes. Support from the town is felt by visitors and students, and "is always greatly appreciated."
Later on, Suppes thanked council for its support of two $500 scholarships, which council approved last month. Scholarships will be awarded to one female and one male graduating student. The selection committee will include council members and school staff members. Suppes said applications will be available in January, and scholarships will be announced by the high school in March.
"We want kids to know they have the town's support," said Mayor Kuntz. "We believe in you guys, and I hope you believe in yourselves."
Suppes said he is "stunned" by the rising cost of college, and grateful to the town for its support. "The needs are out there," said Suppes.
In other business:
• Trustees approved a request for a special events liquor license to the Cocker Kids Foundation to serve beer and wine at its Oct. 5 fundraiser auction at Heritage Hall.
• Planning commission member Tom Wills said the town planning commission is busy creating a town sign code. "It's about time the town gets one," said Wills. The draft is expected to come before the town before the end of the year.
Wills reminded everyone that the planning committee is seeking applications for the commission seat held by Mary Hockenbery.
• Public works director Mike Owens received a hearty round of applause when he reported that the Horse Park Water Treatment Plant upgrade project, which began six years ago, is almost complete. The project brings the town into compliance with current regulations.
Owens added that now that the big project is done, the department is working to catch up on a backlog of small tasks.
