Friday Group Ride #106
Zero to delerious, that's how I feel. Just the other day I was still snarking about the desert races (and being upbraided by faithful readers), and now, suddenly Classics season is ON. Tomorrow we've got Omloop Het Nieuwsblad, and Sunday Kurne-Brussels-Kurne. I don't want to do too much analysis as the far more capable Whit Yost has broken down the races for you here already.
I'll just say this. I expect the 2012 Spring Classics season to be one of the most exciting in years. This year we have a perfect storm of talent and motivation. We have Philippe Gilbert thinking about adding Flanders and Roubaix to his palmares, about dominating the Ardennes races, and even about notching a third Omloop Het Nieuwsblad win to bring him level with legends like Peter van Petegem. Every race from now until April (and most of the ones after) Gilbert will be hungry to win. A hungry Gilbert is fun to watch.
We've also got Tom Boonen on what appears to be his best form in three years. We have Fabian Cancellara, the one-man wrecking crew, back and looking for revenge after the whole peloton worked against him last season. We have Hushovd, Gilbert's teammate at BMC, needing to justify his leadership with some big rides. World Champion Mark Cavendish is capable of taking any of the one-day races with a reasonably flat run in to the finish, and guys like Andre Greipel, Heinrich Haussler and Peter Sagan can get in the mix, too.
It's an awful lot of strong guys in good health and with top motivation.
Again, read Whit's piece to get the in-depth, to read about the darker horses and to get a good sense for how this weekend's races will likely play out. Then come back here and make your predictions. This week's Group Ride asks: Who will win the opening salvos, Omloop Het Nieuwsblad and Kurne-Brussels-Kurne? Who will lay down their markers? And who will go home and cry themselves to sleep having come up short?

Friday Group Ride #64
Ronde! Ronde! Ronde! Ronde! Say it like that a bunch of times in a row, and it sounds like you're revving a motorcycle in preparation for a jump over some absurdly large number of buses. Instead, you're getting ready for, arguably, the most exciting week of bike racing all year, a week that begins with the Ronde van Vlaanderen (The Tour of Flanders) and ends with Paris-Roubaix.
Cobbles! Cobbles! Cobbles! Cobbles! goes the muffler on your vintage Triumph. The crowd's collective stomach is all tied in knots. That's a lot of buses, and the landing ramp looks a long, long, long way off. Is that a ring of fire they've lit on the end of the ramp?
We're getting ready to launch the peloton's hard men over many kilometers paved with bowling balls and bowler hats, narrow, twisting lanes that rise and fall like consumer confidence. Rain makes legends, but so does dust. Regardless, you'll want the DVD.
The gambling houses stopped taking bets on Fabian Cancellara to win either race at the end of April last year. His current form must have every last rider on the road terrified. If I were Tom Boonen, I'd bring my Gent Wevelgem trophy with me so I had something substantial to hold while Cancellara is getting kisses from podium girls.
Who else could win? Hushovd. Flecha. Haussler. Gilbert. Ballan. Sagan. There, I've named a few. The rest is up to you.
Today's Group Ride is a double dipper: Who will win the Ronde? Who will win in Roubaix? You get no points for guessing Cancellara, but do you really believe he can do the double? Again? If not, who is most likely to dethrone the rampant Swiss? Will anything less than a broken chain deny him his growing legend?
Friday Group Ride #54
It is the sad state of geo-cultural reality that leaves most non-Australians with Crocodile Dundee, Dingo Ate My Baby, Yahoo Serious and Foster's Lager as the enduring symbols of the Land Down Under. Oh, sure. We all love a shrimp on the barbie, and who can resist a little Mad Max on late night television? But, the truth is Australia is a sports lover's paradise.
Cricket, rugby, Aussie rules, swimming, football, and on an on. Our southern hemispheric friends love to compete. They love to watch, and they know how to throw a party.
This is a long and not-at-all concise lead in to a discussion of the upcoming Tour Down Under (January 18th – 23rd), a race that has become, by virtue of its early start date, the de facto kick off of the pro road cycling season.
This year the TDU carries the withering storyline of Lance Armstrong's final pro level road race. Allegedly. Possibly. Hopefully.
Additionally, many riders who saw their 2010 blighted by injuries will pop back up on the bottom side of the globe to try to get themselves sorted out for 2011.
It's a race that gives us first glimpses at new teams and often new riders. You might remember Peter Sagan and Xavier Tondo standing out in last year's event.
In fact, if anything holds this race back, it's a lack of real climbing action, the Willunga Hill serving up some uphill, but nothing on the order of the Alps, Pyrenees or even California's Sierra Nevada.
This week's Group Ride addresses the following: Is the TDU an important race? Is it a big race? Is it a good race? Do you look forward to it? Or, is it a warm up? An exhibition? Where is its proper place in the cycling universe?
FGR #37 Wrap
Will Fabian Cancellara stay with Bjarne Riis?
It is, perhaps, a mark of the this time of year that Padraig's post about rim tape should garner more interest and passion than an open debate about the transfer market. It seems our minds have wandered away from the pros and onto the very serious subject of how to best ride the end of the summer (except for you Aussie and South American readers, of course).
Sophrosune brought up an excellent question, a topic for another Group Ride, which is, "What constitutes success for a pro team?"
Looking at recent transfers, it's hard for me to believe that Riis Racing won't succeed next year. Master Bjarne has replaced a Tour de France runner up with a winner, and, thus far anyway, retained last year's Paris-Roubaix/Ronde von Flanderen winner. Does he have the two top riders in the peloton? I would say so.
Ryderider brought up Liquigas, which I failed to mention in my Group Ride intro, though the Italian squad boasts Basso, Nibali, Kreuzier, Kiserlovski and Sagan. One gets the distinct impression that, organized properly around a designated leader, they have the team to take a grand tour. Having lost Francesco Chicchi to Quick Step, they only have Daniele Bennati for the sprints, which will pull some wins off the table. You have to ask though, will winning the Giro be enough for Liquigas in 2011? Or do they need to make a serious assault on the Tour, given they have nothing for the Classics?
Omega Pharma – Lotto is the other team that sticks out for me. Living in QuickStep's shadow for the last few seasons, things looked bad for Belgium's other team when Cadel Evans left, but Phillipe Gilbert has kept their profile high with stellar end of season riding, and now they've signed Andrei Greipel who will, undoubtedly, add to their win total, and give them a proper presence at any grand tour they run him in.
The Spanish teams, Movistar and Geox,are the big question marks. What will money do for Spanish cycling? If Team Sky is any indication, not much, but their results may vary.
And now…back to rim strips!

noun Slang
Origin: Short for parent.
Our Living Language When young people talk about their rents, that is, their parents, they are using a slang term that is of interest to language historians, if not necessarily thrilling for parents themselves. The term is a prime example of one of the fundamental characteristics of slang, which continually creates novel ways of expressing what are often rather ordinary things (if parents may be considered ordinary things). Slang has recently produced two expressions for "parents" that have gained wide currency—rents and parental units. Both expressions demonstrate slang's use of unusual or creative linguistic means to achieve novelty of expression. While there are many slang terms, such as bod for body or rad for radical, that result from the clipping of unstressed syllables, rents is a clipping that drops a stressed syllable, much like the similar term za, "pizza." The desire to coin new ways of referring to things also leads speakers of slang to use circumlocutions like knuckle sandwich for "punch." Parental units falls into this category. It plays on the jargon of bureaucrats and social science, in which the world is viewed as so much data waiting to be quantified. The appearance of terms such as rents and parental units also shows that all available styles and levels of language can be grist for slang's mill—so long as the material is perceived as irreverent, funny, or just plain cool.rent - Business Definition
- Regular payment for the use of property.
- See economic rent.

Variant of rend

Has anyone ever dealt with a Canadian auto insurance company?
Last edited by theboogeyman; 12-22-2012 at 07:50 PM..
Your insurance company sucks. They should be helping you. Follow this up to the top levels of your company. Call the insurance commission if they will not help you and lodge a complaint. This is why the fly-by-nights like esurance sound good when you are paying $100 less per year, but come claim time, people always wish they had gone with a real insurance company.
E finita la cuccagna

Op I would try finding a local number the toll free number is probably set up not to take calls from the United states but since you'll be paying for the international call you should be able to get through on a local number. Might want to call through Google voice or something to save a couple bucks on the international call. Best Slick Deals:

March 16, 2014
SEATTLE (AP) - The Seahawks have signed first-round pick Bruce Irvin, a defensive end taken 15th overall in last month's draft to help fill Seattle's need to add a speed pass rusher coming off the edge.
The terms of the multi-year deal were not released Monday.
Selecting Irvin so high was considered a reach by some. He had been considered a likely second-day pick. But he became the centerpiece of a draft focused on defense, with most of Seattle's selections landing on that side of the ball.
The 6-foot-3, 245-pound Irvin played two seasons at West Virginia, where he had 14 sacks as a junior, and 8½ sacks in his final season.

Submit your questions about the Affordable Care Act for President Obama, then return on March 14 to watch the interview.
I am glad you are getting something from these exchanges. And I hope you draw support.
I have to go now. Colonoscopy. Just kidding. I had colon cancer twice. I figured they would just leave the tube in.
My best,
My best,
I am so glad for the good results--and early! I hope you continue to get only good news on future visits.
We're cheering you on,
I hope that your visit tomorrow shows that the cancer has not gone to your brain. I also hope the chemo goes well on Friday without any bad side-effects.
It's good to see your posts here and the support you offer others.
Let us know how you're doing,
I am sorry to hear of your most recent frustrations. I agree with you about keeping a positive mindset, and that Leahquestions is a source of inspiration.
I'm sending more upbeat wishes your way. Don't feel you have to only share the good things here. You're always welcome no matter how you're feeling and we'll do out best to support you.
It's nice to hear back from you! I'm sorry your OA has been so troublesome. I imagine the recovery of the knee and hip will both take time for recovery and different physical therapy approaches, so getting them done individually sounds like a good plan.
Snopes.com (a place to find out about those e-mails that are being passed along by everyone), indicates there is a mixture of fact and fiction in the e-mail (this is not a WebMD site and we cannot guarantee content).
I hate to say this, but there are many sites and many people out there who prey on cancer victims and people with chronic illnesses, and offer miracle cures. Please verify any "facts" with your doctor and be on the look out for hoaxes and snake-oil "cures." Discuss with your oncologist about any complimentary therapies or alternative treatment plans available.
Sending more upbeat wishes your way,
That does sound like a lot of visits to a place you don't want to visit--the hospital. I agree with you on that.
I have some things for you about the immune system that I hope will help:
Slideshow: 15 Immune Boosting Foods
Article: Meditation Heals Body and Mind. "In the study, people who meditated regularly for six weeks showed less activation of their immune systems and less emotional distress when they were put in a stressful situation"

If anyone else has suggestions about what has helped them with their immune system, please share them in this thread.
Best upbeat wishes as always,

You agree to pay any Fees and any other charges incurred in connection with your use of the Services (including any applicable taxes, chargeback fees or bounced check fees) at the rates in effect when the charges were incurred. You agree to pay any Fees in accordance with one of our payment options as described at www.FAFSA.com/fafsa-services/pricing-packages or otherwise in accordance with any applicable payment plan. Except as otherwise specified, Fees will be billed prior to the provision of the Services by SFAS. You agree to pay all costs of collection of fees due to us, including legal fees, incurred by SFAS.
Clients may select service level options that include automatic annual billing* and access to special discounted fees for services relating to future student aid applications. If you request one of these payment options, you expressly agree that we are authorized to charge you a discounted annual fee, any applicable tax, and any other charges you may incur in connection with your use of our Services. You will be notified at least 10 days in advance of any billing via an e-mail sent to the address you supplied upon registration. You will have the opportunity to opt out of additional billing. If your e-mail address changes, you are responsible for updating your account details in order to receive these notifications. The subsequent annual fees, as outlined in your chosen pricing package, will be billed as early as September of each year for the next year's Services unless and until you advise us of your desire to cancel our Services. We reserve the right to cancel your service at our discretion, at any time, without notice to you. We will bill our Services to any credit or electronic check account that you provided to us in your account profile. We may also use commercially available services to update your credit card details.
*Please note that if there is another FAFSA application available for which you have not applied at the time of purchase, it is possible that you may be billed more than once in a calendar year.
For questions or to cancel our service, please call 866-514-5954.
Effective as of June 17, 2009, if you notify us that you are not satisfied with the Services within seven (7) days of any billing of our Services, SFAS will issue you a refund of the Fees paid by you for such Services, less a service charge. The service charge will be $10.00 if your application has not been reviewed and submitted to ED or $35.00 if your application has already been reviewed and submitted to the ED. If for any reason the service charge is greater than the Fees paid by you for such Services, then SFAS will cancel the application with no refund due to you.
We reserve the right to change our fees at any time. SFAS may change the fees and charges then in effect, or add new fees or charges, by giving you notice in advance. If you want to use a different credit card or there is a change in credit card validity or expiration date, you must follow the procedures outlined in the Privacy Policy for changing your personal information. You are responsible for any fees or charges incurred to access the Services through an Internet access provider or other third party service.
We reserve the right to terminate your account for any or no reason.

SFAS may also broadcast notices or other matters of importance on this Site; such broadcasts shall constitute notice to you.
You shall not assign or otherwise transfer or delegate or subcontract any of your rights or obligations under this Agreement, in whole or in part, without SFAS' prior written consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld. Any attempted transfer or delegation by you without SFAS's consent will be void. SFAS shall have the right to transfer, delegate and/or subcontract its rights and/or obligations under this Agreement to any acquirer, successor-in-interest, affiliate, subcontractor, or in order to comply with laws, rules, regulations or court orders. These Terms of Use will bind and inure to the benefit of each party's successors and permitted assigns.
This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. Any cause of action with respect to this Agreement and your rights and obligations must be submitted for arbitration, pursuant to Section 22, within one (1) year after the cause of action; otherwise, the cause shall be barred, provided that either party may seek injunctive or equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction.

The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods will not apply to these Terms.
The failure of SFAS to exercise or enforce any right or provision of the Terms of Use shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. If any provision of the Terms of Use is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, the parties nevertheless agree that the court should endeavor to give effect to the parties' intentions as reflected in the provision, and the other provisions of the Terms of Use shall remain in full force and effect. A printed version of this Agreement and of any notice given in electronic form shall be admissible in judicial or administrative proceedings based upon or relating to this Agreement, to the same extent and subject to the same conditions as other business documents and records originally generated and maintained in printed form.
Sections 1 - 7, 14 - 16 and 19 - 25, as well as any other provisions intended by their nature to continue, shall survive termination of these Terms of Use.
All disputes, controversies or claims arising out of or relating to these Terms of Use will be resolved through binding arbitration conducted in Sacramento, California, in accordance with: (i) the Federal Arbitration Act; (ii) the then-current commercial arbitration rules of the American Arbitration Association (the "AAA"); and (iii) these Terms of Use. The terms set forth in these Terms of Use will control in the event of any inconsistency between such terms and the AAA rules. The arbitration will be conducted by a single arbitrator reasonably familiar with the technology and business covered by these Terms of Use, selected by mutual agreement of the parties. If the parties fail to select an arbitrator within thirty (30) days following the date of either party's notice of demand to conduct arbitration, then the AAA will appoint an arbitrator in accordance with its rules. The award of the arbitrator will be in writing, setting forth findings of fact and conclusions of law. Judgment on the arbitrator's award will be final and binding upon the parties and may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. The arbitrator's fees will be shared equally by the parties, and each party will bear its own costs and attorneys' fees. All papers, documents, or evidence, whether written or oral, filed with or presented in connection with the arbitration proceeding will be deemed by the parties and by the arbitrator to be confidential information.

There are growing signs that all is not well with the Brazilian economy. A rapid increase in household indebtedness and a surge in credit growth have investors worried
Guido Mantega, Brazil's finance minister, has been piloting policy in Latin America's largest economy for the past six years. He likes referring to himself as a player who passes the ball to his teammate, who then smashes it into the net and scores - a kind of GDP catalyst.
But the Brazilian economy has faced an uphill battle in 2012, and the year may end without any goals at all.
Brazilian monetary and fiscal authorities had predicted a long duration, low-intensity crisis in the eurozone. But this has spread dangerously from the periphery to the core of the single currency area. "The European crisis has proved even stronger than we originally envisaged, even though it rather looks like a long period of agony than a sudden heart attack," Mantega tells LatinFinance.
China's growth has eased - and commodity prices have started to fall for the first...

So how do West Virginians find help?
The Boone County Health Department offers a once-a-month diabetes support group, led by a nurse. It is, by all accounts, the only publicly available education service in Boone County.
To get a self-management education class, Carolyn or Judy must drive to Charleston or Huntington. All Charleston hospitals offer multi-session classes, open to the public.
"I don't drive," Carolyn said. She can't get on the Internet. "I don't have a computer."
Community health centers Hygeia and FamilyCare do not offer diabetes education classes in Boone. FamilyCare's free classes are in Charleston or Teays Valley.
The Gazette-Mail decided to pull together a statewide list of services.
Agencies agreed to help. The West Virginia Hospital Association assembled a list of their members' education programs. The West Virginia Primary Care Association polled the state's 28 community health centers. The American Association of Diabetes Educators has a list of West Virginia members. The state Board of Medicine keeps a list of endocrinologists, diabetes specialists.
Different sources helped with diabetes support groups, free clinics and other lists. It took about two weeks for one person to compile this much. While the lists are incomplete, they are more comprehensive than anything else available.
A few things jump out:
"We don't get paid to offer that, and we're stretched thin already," one public health nurse said. They all envy Kentucky. In Kentucky, the state pays every county health department to offer at least one diabetes self-management class per year.
The Kentucky legislature supplied $3.4 million for diabetes services last year (77 cents a year per Kentuckian), compared with West Virginia's $108,000 (6 cents per West Virginian). "That makes a big difference in what a state program can do," Wood said.
The lists that accompany this article will stay on the Charleston Gazette website, wvgazette.com, and www.livewellwv.com, managed by West Virginia University Extension Service. Anyone is free to use them. We hope some agency will adopt and update them.

Forty-six men's DI clubs compete this weekend in a series of league games. Here's a rundown: West
Denver Highlanders
KC Blues
Denver Barbarians
Kansas City at home against a battered Highlanders team looks like a Blues win. Glendale, even without a couple of players, should have little trouble at Boulder. The big question-mark game is Denver Barbarians at Provo. Both teams are making their 2012-2013 league season debuts. This will come down to execution. The Barbarians are in better shape in their preparation and in their coaching setup, but if they make mistakes, Provo will punish. It's not a long season for these teams, but there's still plenty of rugby to play. Glendale should move to 2-0, and KC to 2-1 after this weekend, but they won't be clear of anyone as the Barbarians or Provo will be 1-0.
Indianapolis Impalas
Chicago Blaze
Detroit Tradesmen
Chicago Griffins
Chicago Lions
Milwaukee Barbarians
Cincinnati Wolfhounds
Palmer hosts the 5-0 Cincinnati Wolfhounds in a crucial game for the Iowa team. They need to win to get to 3-3 and have any playoff aspirations at all. The Chicago Griffins do not have an easy game with the 3-2 Detroit Tradesmen coming to town. The Tradesmen travel fairly well, despite being 1-2 on the road. The Griffins need this one badly, as a loss will drop them below .500. The major clash has to be Metropolis at the Chicago Lions. Metro likes their chances. They are 5-0, but this is a difficult road game. The Lions are 4-0-1, with that tie being against the Griffins two weeks ago. South
Atlanta Renegades
This is the first game of the South DI Matrix (they like to call it a matrix). Life is missing four players who are with the USA Selects team at the ARC. Won't matter – the Renegades are very good, but Life has excellent depth. Still, if someone is going to be Life, this might be the week to do it. Mid-Atlantic
Schuylkill River
Norfolk Blues
Maryland Exiles
Pittsburgh Harlequins
The battle this weekend is between 2 nd and 3rd. Maryland, 4-0, takes on 3-1-1 NOVA. If Maryland wins, they can lay claim to being the top dogs, even if PAC retains 1st – PAC has a loss and an extra game on the record. Pittsburgh can inch up on the competition if they beat Raleigh. With those four teams pulling away, it's now or never for Norfolk (1-2) and Schuylkill River (2-2). A loss by either will leave that defeated team with three under the L column, and the reality of having to win almost all their remaining games to make the top four, and the playoffs. Empire
Old Blue
Village Lions
Long Island
White Plains
The Bison and the Bulls. Buffalo and Old Blue are both 5-0 and look to be 6-0 after this weekend. They will likely clash for 1st unblemished in a week. Four other teams look poised to make a surge to be in the top four – 3-2 White Plains and their stingy defense take on Morris, while 2-3 Village Lions play 1-4 Long island. WP and VL can make up ground on New York (hosting Buffalo) and Monmouth (hosting Old Blue). New England
New Haven
Hartford Wanderers
Mystic River
South Shore Anchors
The Boston Irish Wolfhounds and Boston Rugby Club are 4-0, and probably feeling pretty fresh after a week off. The 'Hounds host a 3-1 Mystic River team not to be taken lightly. This is a must-win for BIW if they want to keep pace with Boston. Boston is missing John Quill and Tony Purpura (at the ARC), but they host 1-3 Hartford, so they shouldn't have difficulty. Middlesex is favored against New Haven and can secure their hold on 4 th by winning, and should Mystic lose, they could even move to 3rd.

A Union City police officer on routine patrol discovered three bodies in a car parked on an interstate ramp early Sunday morning.
Two bodies were found inside the car, and a third body was discovered in the trunk. The car was located on Flat Shoals Road near Interstate 85.
Police said the victims, Quinones King, 33, Cheryl Colquitt-Thompson, 32, and Rodney Cottrell, 43, were from Montgomery, AL.
"We have multiple leads and one lead does describe that incident happened in a different location but I can't give you any information about that lead," Union City police spokesperson Christopher Murphy said.
Authorities believe the victims may have known their killer or killers.
"There's no evidence that shows it was a random act," Officer Murphy said.Union City police have called in the Georgia Bureau of Investigation to help.

1996 Records To Die For
Do they complain to me about this? Do they whine, squeal, snivel? Do they drag their heels, turning in copy a month late? Do they refuse the task altogether, naming out-of-print mono LPs by the cutout-bin load, and their favorite badly recorded rock albums from their drug-drenched days of countercultural glory?
You bet.
Am I sympathetic? Do I gently suggest alternatives, guiding quaking neophytes, seasoned but nervous veterans, and curmudgeonly elder audio statesmen alike through the bewildering wilderness of choice, steering them down the narrow passage between the narcosis of mere good taste and the chaos of unbridled self-expression?
Of course I do.
"Not my problem, fella," I purr with all the intellectual grace of Bill Clinton, the sensitivity of Rush Limbaugh, the gravitas of Ross Perot. "Get with the program. Don't tell me you can't think of a measly two records of killer music in killer stereo from the hundreds of thousands released in the last 40 years. I mean, what do you listen to all day---Abba? It is to laugh." And I laugh. Oh, how I laugh.
They have had their revenge. I present to you, The Reader, in all its steaming fulsomeness and in reverse alphabetical order (don't ask), the 1996 edition of Stereophile's "Records To Die For." Read it, love it, hate it, write us nasty letters (as if you weren't already), tear these very pages from the mag---there's something here guaranteed to offend or tickle (or both) the musical and sonic sensibilities of every one of our tens of thousands of fanatical readers.
Which, if I'm not mistaken, is your cue to stand and chant the Stereophile Oath:
I pledge allegiance to the sound
of the united soundstage of the recording venue,
and to the re-creation of the original musical event for which it stands:
one stereo mike, under JGH, crossed-coincident,
with midrange bloom and palpable presence for all.
Remember, it's only music, and Stereophile is just a magazine. You're on your own.

Just wanted to say how much I love the Bodas microfiber bra! They are the only bras I have ever worn that fit me!
One of our bestsellers is now available in a soft, smooth microfiber that is perfect under T-shirts. This lightly padded, underwire bra (designed to give you coverage but not any extra oomph) fits identically to the 007 in Supima Cotton but is in a microfiber fabric. One row, three column hook/eye closure. 60% Polyamide/40% Elastane.
SIZING: The cups runneth very small in these bras so you should go up a size from your regular size. Use A cups for AA cups, meaning 34A fits 34AA, 36A fits 36AA but for 32AA's, use the 32B. Yes, the sizing scale sounds odd but we've fit a lot of women at the store with no problems and, most importantly, with happy results!

Sometimes a Little Is More
A column article, Busted Knuckles by: Beau SmithSometimes too much is just that, too much. It clogs things up, makes the situation muddy and hard to follow. It invites chaos.
I tease my wife about the dinners the church puts on because the ladies that cook and bring the food "church up" what should be a simple, all-round dish that everyone will enjoy. As an example, a nice meal of ham, baked beans, potato salad and cake ends up with some sort of cranberry/jelly sauce injected into the ham, baked beans with things other than beans in it, potato salad that has more additions to it than Joan Rivers's face and, to top it off, what should be a simple piece of chocolate cake now has blueberries and nuts stuck in it.
Sometimes it's like the old phrase of "Too many cooks in the kitchen." They all wanna stick their hand in the pie and outdo each other. When that happens, all you end up with is a pie no one wants to eat. I've noticed that we're currently running into this in mainstream comics.
As a writer, I can tell when a book is anchored down by a heavy editorial hand, and not in a good way. I'm not just talking about the editor of the book; I'm talking about the senior editor, the managing editor, the publisher and eight guys down the hall that think they know what's best for the characters in the book. This isn't even taking into account that there's a new "event" going on that has to be shoved into the story. (Today, you can almost always count on an "event" going on.)
When this happens, the first thing to suffer is the characters in the book. The dialogue no longer gives the character a distinct personality. The characters lose their voice, a voice that separates them from the hundreds of other superheroes in that universe. Editors have to remember that not every reader is a long time reader, that not every reader knows the complete character continuity of the last sixty years. Even with a character as well known as Batman, not everyone is going to know that he's not known as a social butterfly and doesn't suffer fools.
Not every reader is going to know that Tony Stark/Iron Man used to be a really charming lady's man that loved to tinker like your dad in the garage. Too many editors and publishers take this for granted. It shows and it hurts the stories. No wonder characters like Aquaman, Wonder Woman, Hawkman and the Atom never really reached their reader and sales potential. There have been multiple versions of each of these characters where too much has been added to what should be a very simple idea: give them a personality and let them grow.
At Marvel Comics it's been a little different because they seem to take some time during one of their events to actually add layers to the characters and still move them forward with the results of the event. The end result is that at least you know the character as a fictional person and can then decide if you want to invest your emotions and money into reading about them every month.
Yes, DC Comics does some of their characters right by making the reader feel that they know and even like them, but lately it's felt like a bowl of spaghetti that's been spilled on the floor by the waiter and you, as a consumer, are asked to clean it up, eat it and like it.
My ball cap goes off to Geoff Johns for his work on DC's Justice Society of America. That's a series that's filled with multiple heroes and villains, yet I feel I know who they are and why they think and do what they do. Doing this with one single character is great, but when you can do it with a lot of characters and in the same book, then a standing ovation is in order.
Over at Marvel Comics, Ed Brubaker, writer on Captain America, has shown me that when a writer is hired to do what he does best and then is left alone to do it, then you get a stellar comic book story and character. This is not the Captain America that I grew up on, but it sure is one I want to read every month first thing.
The book's editor, Tom Brevoort, gives Brubaker a story canvas that he can create freely on and not be confined by too many rules. The tradition of what came before is there and yet the freedom to add layers and move ahead is encouraged and done. You really can't ask for more than that. It looks like ham and baked beans, but it's the best ham and baked beans you've ever had. There's no need for the cranberries, olives and layers of glaze. You just make sure you cook everything right and everyone leaves the table happy.
I just read the second issue of Captain America : Reborn last night and it was as near perfect story telling as it gets and I mean COMIC BOOK STORY TELLING. It's not a screenplay; it's not a novel; it's a comic book, and there is a special craft to writing comics. Brubaker nails it. Just the right amount of action, dialogue that fits, works and isn't over done and most of all the characters have something to say. It doesn't hurt that the book is drawn by Bryan Hitch and Butch Guice either.
As a reader, you may or may not like who Tony Stark or Reed Richards have become. They may not be the characters you once knew, but at least you know who they've become. You know who they are now. It's your choice to if you want to pay for it or not. With, say, Aquaman, you'd be hard pressed to know if you don't like the character or not because you don't really know just who he really is. As a reader, I like my choice to be "Yes" or "No". I'm not much on "confused". Not when comics are almost $4.00 each.
That's too much for too little.
Busted Knuckles Manly Cover of The Week: All Winners #1
Cover Art by Daniel Acuna
Marvel Comics 2009
What better way to celebrate a 70th anniversary than to have a party where you're busting Nazi heads, setting them on fire and running them over with a government issue motorcycle with a smile on your face.
This cover is the best new comic book cover to come out in many a year. I wish this was a poster. I would buy it and hang it up here at the ranch. Artist Daniel Acuna has made my day with this art. I hope you enjoy.
Busted Knuckles Babe of the Week: Monica Bellucci
They know how to build 'em in Italy, my friends. Monica Bellucci is proof.
She was in the films Tears of the Sun and Shoot 'Em Up as well as a lot of Italian movies I've never seen or heard of, but you know what? I do not care. If Monica is in 'em, then I'll watch 'em. I might even read an occasional sub-title. (Naw, I doubt it.)
She puts the shape in shapely. That's a figure 8 I'd be glad to count.
Beau Smith At Pittsburgh Comicon

Make sure you come and see me at the friendliest Comic Convention ever. I'll be signing books, smiling, insulting Billy Tucci and telling tall tales. I'll be like a monkey at the zoo only without the bars to separate us. Approach me at your own peril.
The Roundup
Waiting for the trade. No, I don't mean I'm waiting for the trade paperback. I'm just talking about trading stuff. I love trading and have since I was a kid. That was always a part of the allure of comic books. No money was passed, just comics for comics. It was always fun.
Here lately I've been doing some trading in my work to unload clutter and bring in new clutter. A circle, I know, but what am I to do. It's in my blood.
I recently traded a piece of original art from one of my Guy Gardner Warrior stories for collection of Chicago Bears memorabilia. A few weeks before, I traded a bunch of McFarlane sample toys for some Marvel Masterworks books that I didn't have. Another deal that I made was trading a very rare Sin City Marv Electric Chair sample figure (McFarlane Toys) for a few pages of comic book original art from the 1970's by unknown artists. All trading parties were happy and new stuff was to be fondled. I remember when I was a construction inspector in the late 1970s, I traded the crane operator 20 Case (The brand) pocket knives for a 1969 Datsun pick up truck. I drove that truck for a good two years before selling it to my uncle. He got a few more years out of it.
I love the art of the trade and I'm glad that it still goes on in comics. Most of the time it's a win/win situation for everyone. One man's trash is another man's treasure and all that stuff. So do you as a comic book reader still trade? If you don't you might wanna think about trying it. I think you'll enjoy it. EBay might miss you as a customer, but hell, who wants to see them get your money with all those fees and stuff?
While writing this column and remembering trading for that old truck, I started getting the urge to trade for another old truck. I might start looking into trading for another older truck, say 1980s on back, a daily driver, nothing pretty. That old Datsun has a hole in the floor that I got kinda used to. Don't be surprised if you see me one day driving a new, old truck. Until then, get out there and trade something.
Your amigo,
Beau Smith

Hang tight!
Recipe by Christine L.
"This pasta salad is a little different: the dressing is made with olive oil and anchovies. This is a good, light meal for the summer."
Watch video tips and tricks
1 head broccoli, separated into florets
1 pound penne pasta
1 pound fresh tuna steaks
1/4 cup water
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup white wine
4 medium tomatoes, quartered
1 pound mozzarella cheese, diced
8 large black olives, sliced
1/2 cup walnut pieces, toasted
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
4 anchovy fillets, rinsed
3/4 cup olive oil
This is fabulous! I used canned tuna in olive oil instead of albacore because i do not have it here in Prague. It goes down great with a glass of white wine. What a wonderful, light, highly refreshing recipe. thanks Christine :o)
Easy and quick to prepare. Tastes better chilled and served over your favorite lettuce.
