NFL Superpro, Marvel's newest super hero sensation. He went from sacking quarterbacks to tackling crime. |

In response to: blogizard I really don't have one. Every time I've had some preconceived notion about a character, some writer has come along and proved me wrong. There are things I may hate about a character, but they still have a purpose and role in a story. Every story has to have an asshat. I hate Batman, or more like his popularity. I'll still buy a good Batman story or be 1st in line for a Batman movie. I hated the Hood from Marvel. Brian K Vaughn's debut series of the character was pretty bad IMO. Then currently in Avengers he's collecting infinity gems, so I'm totally interested. I HATE, HATE, HATE, Guy Garder's costume design. Whats not to love about Lobo!? Kieth Giffen is a GEINUS! He's a parody character. I guess if your a huge fan of Wolvie fan then Lobo may be stepping on your toes. |

I hate Marvel's Civil War. What a stupid premiss. |

I like the first few pages of it. I thought that a 'Super Hero Reality Show' gone wrong, where a school gets blown up on live television, was a clever spark for the registration debate. It fit into our society's fixation with live events and 24-hour news networks. It reminded me of an entire nation watching the fall of the twin towers live on CNN, and the political backlash (and eventual war) that event inspired. But where the story went from there was stupid, I agree. The most ridiculous thing to happen was Peter Parker revealing his identity, which was just one more low point in a series of low points that has been Marvel's ruination of Spider-Man for the last 15 years. |

superpro=booster gold?? not a fan of the hood either. its like he doesn't know whether he wants to be street level or cosmic. doesn't seem to fit either place. and although Im not a fan of guy gardner's costume, i love the character. Id love to get a drink with that guy. |
blogizard | #36 Subject: Re:Agh I hate that guy.... Posted: 01/05/2011 10:33:18 |
I love Guy Gardner, as a heel. |
SamuraiTerry | #37 Subject: Agh I hate that guy.... Posted: 01/05/2011 12:12:17 |
About civil war. Marvel always prides itself for being set in the "real world," but if superhero actually existed I don't know how a registration act wouldn't exist with it. Ironman was totally right, but they had them execute it wrong so they could make Cap be the hero (so lame). I'm not really sure how being a vigilante is one of my civil liberties. We are registered U.S. citizens at birth given a social security number, you have to have a license to drive a car, own a gun, have a business, or even get married (to be recognized by the government), so why is it crazy to have people who want to fight crime to be 1. registered, 2. have checks and balances, 3. training, or 4. have some organization about the whole process? If it all comes down to secret identifies and protecting the superheroes' loved ones maybe superheroes should be more like police officers so it wouldn't be an issue. How many criminals take on personal vendettas against the officers that arrest them? If Superpro=Booster Gold, he must be awesome and I should pick up his series! I love a good heel! |

While the secret identity issue certainly was one of the anti-registration arguments, I think that the government (as it exists in the Marvel U, not reality) has proven itself completely inept at managing super heroes. Captain America in particular is against government-controlled super humans, because the heroes/teams always wind up getting used for the personal gain of politicians rather than to help people. Government interferance has caused problems for the Avengers on several occasions, and for Cap personally (remember when he was replaced, and the Captain America identity ended up in the hands of Super Patriot, an overly-violent murderer?) The government has corrupted SHIELD a number of times, been responsible for villianous teams like Freedom Force, and shown a general lack of restraint throughout the history of the Marvel U when it comes to using superhumans. Using that perspective, which I'll freely admit has nothing to do with the real world, I found myself pulling for Cap and the 'anti' group. |
SamuraiTerry | #39 Subject: Agh I hate that guy.... Posted: 01/05/2011 14:30:06 |
It doesn't seem all that different than managing a police force. Sure we come across corrupt politicians and police officers, but I don't feel like then we should just be rid of them and live in anarchy. I agree that in the Marvel U the government has had a problems managing superheroes, but thats how its been written. To me the whole story seems completely bogus and unrealistic. Vigilanteism is illegal in our world, so how would the fact that I have superpowers negate that? If I could blow up a city block, some how I'm qualified to fight crime? There are tests, qualifications, and background checks to make sure that citizens are qualified to even become police officers. Could you manage how much insurance premiums would be? That could be a great story. A guy loses his business after Spidey and the Rhino tear down his place and he didn't have the expensive superhero insurance policy that says your business can be destroyed randomly at any moment. He then seeks revenge on Spider-man. |

In response to: SamuraiTerry Heh. You sound like Erik Larsen when he started writing Savage Dragon, one of my favorite comics. He thought it was BS for heroes to always be vigilantes, too. But who the hell is going to tell Thor he has to join the police force? He'd just swat you with his hammer and go on about his vigilante day. But it's not like Marvel hasn't dealt with the issue prior to Civil War. The police have chased Spidey in his book many times. Daredevil has been hunted by the law. The Avengers have been shut down. The X-Men were outlaws through Claremont's entire run (and not only because of racism). The Punisher is the poster boy of vigilantes and the moral questions they pose. I think the real reason that all of Marvel's heroes aren't on some government-sanctioned police force is that it wouldn't be that interesting. |
SamuraiTerry | #41 Subject: Agh I hate that guy.... Posted: 01/05/2011 17:44:34 |
The hit TV show COPS would beg to differ. lol Honestly I think it would have been cool if they did go through with it, and they all got matching type uniforms for a while. They could have made a bunch of money off merchandising (look at Blackest Night for example). Of course thats not how I want the the status quo, but it would have been fun for a while. Make some new books with creative new teams. And Savage Dragon is awesome... just like Lobo. |

JOYFUL_NOISE | #47 Subject: Re:Agh I hate that guy.... Posted: 02/13/2011 18:10:46 |
By the way I couldnt agree more with you Terry, a registration act makes total sense. Police Officers have to go through years of training just to hold a gun and protet civil rights but somehow getting bit by a radioactive spider allows a High School kid to save the world. What's wrong with training heros to be heros? Nobody said they had to show there identity like peter did in front of the whole world. Plus at the time of the Civil War Tony was Director of SHIELD and nearly died just keeping everybodies identity a secret. Like Terry said Cap just had to be the "Hero" even though the people weren't even on his side. |
SamuraiTerry | #48 Subject: Agh I hate that guy.... Posted: 02/13/2011 18:59:54 |
I'm catching up on my Fantastic Four and I'm at civil war issues and ugh. Sue leaves Reed over it, double ugh. I honestly just try not to think about it. I always kind of hated when Ultimate Captain America kicks Bruce Banner in the face after he reverts back from the Hulk in Ultimates Vol. 1. I just thought it was kind of a dick thing to do, and have always seen Cap as someone that was wholesome. But I suppose it is the ULTIMATE version, so he's extreme, and not my father's Captain America. |
blogizard | #49 Subject: Agh I hate that guy.... Posted: 02/13/2011 20:56:47 |
I don't like Ultimate Cap either, he's a dickwad. |
SamuraiTerry | #50 Subject: Agh I hate that guy.... Posted: 02/14/2011 14:00:05 |
I think Mark Millar only writes dickwads. |
JOYFUL_NOISE | #51 Subject: Re:Agh I hate that guy.... Posted: 02/15/2011 07:06:12 |
My comic store guy said Millar was a totally nice dude! |
JOYFUL_NOISE | #52 Subject: Agh I hate that guy.... Posted: 02/15/2011 07:13:01 |
They tried SOOOOOOOOOO HARD to make Tony look like the douche in every situation. Robotic clone of Thor that kills "Ant Man" and every popular character was on Cap's side (Cap himself, then spiderman, Thor, Daredevil, Wolverine ect). |
SamuraiTerry | #53 Subject: Agh I hate that guy.... Posted: 02/21/2011 11:13:06 |
Does your comic guy know Millar? Also I said "he only writes dickwads," which I was saying in jest. |

Check out Straczynski Thor run. Its one of the rare times I buy a Marvel book. Olivier Coipel does amazing art work. |

Check out Straczynski Thor run. Its one of the rare times I buy a Marvel book. Olivier Coipel does amazing art work Did JMS borrow much from Walt Simonson's run? If so I'd be interested in picking up those trades. (I ask because by the picture you posted it looks like a lot of the characters etc from that classic run.) |

I've got the JMS mini-series that brought Thor back and brought Asgard to Earth. Beyond that, I got nothing, but I can sure lend it to you. |
JOYFUL_NOISE | #58 Subject: Agh I hate that guy.... Posted: 03/23/2011 07:30:14 |
Yeah he said he has meet him Millar a few times at events and in bars. Wasn't it you that said he was a douche in another thread? IDK somebody said that... |
blogizard | #59 Subject: Agh I hate that guy.... Posted: 03/23/2011 08:19:35 |
I think that was Grady, he hates Millar. But I think we should add Liefield and Lobdell to that list too. We could have like an official list of all the dikwad hacks in the comic industry, then have an NCAAA tourney-style bracket to figure out who the biggest douche actually is. |
JMGrady | #60 Subject: Agh I hate that guy.... Posted: 03/23/2011 16:27:25 |
I don't recall the post itself, but it does definitely sound like something I'd say. I don't know Millar, I haven't met him, but I don't like what I've read of his work. One of the dudes at my local comic store pointed me to Wanted. What I wanted afterward was my money back. |

Let me see if I can understand this: Danny Jones wants to tax the low- and middle-income wage earners to pay millions of dollars for renovations to the Civic Center in a city that never has and never will have any panache. Get real, Jones.

This droll, heavily illustrated history of the relationship between humans and bears brims with curious facts and anecdotes. For instance, all bears are descended from a creature that was originally the size of a small terrier; bear shoulder blades have been used as sickles for cutting grass; Cree hunters put a lighted pipe in the mouth of their kill and blew smoke down its throat, to calm the animal's spirit; and today's polar bears weigh approximately two hundred pounds less than those of fifteen years ago, owing to the diminishment of winter feeding grounds. Brunner adroitly details the ways bears have been demonized, revered, and anthropomorphized by cultures that see them in contradictory terms—both lazy and fierce, wily and dim-witted—and tells the sad stories of humanity's attempts to domesticate and showcase these majestic, primarily reclusive beings. ♦

Bands We Love: June Playlist
These days we find ourselves listening to those freewheeling "perfect for a road trip" tunes, with more soulful songs making appearances as the day winds down. Here are some we have on repeat to energize mornings and afternoons, and bring even happier hours come evening.
Holden's La saison des touristes from their 2002 album "Pedrolira" plays well with a first cup of tea, gently easing you into the rest of the day. We also like to think the title is a tongue-in-cheek way to welcome summer.
Surfer Blood's new release "Python" sees the band build on their 2010 debut "Astro Coast," adding depth without losing a sound that makes for great steering-wheel drum sessions, like in the first single "Demon Dance."
From her recently released album "Sing to the Moon," Laura Mvula's Green Garden has a fresh feel as upbeat as her story—she overcame terrifying stage fright to share her talent with the world. We're so glad she did. Catch her when she tours North America this September.
The UK's Jacob Banks' new track Worthy is nothing short of amazing. Fresh off a tour with Alicia Keys, we bet we'll be seeing more of his nouveau R&B.
Channeling equal parts Nina Simone and Joan Armatrading, Jim James' State of the Art (A.E.I.O.U.) has a beautifully haunting sound that would be a good sunset viewing soundtrack, or work as a lullaby to remind you of a "life worth living," as the lyrics suggest.

I have just called him expressing enthusiasm about the show and making a plea for a Dec or Jan date at the latest. He has taken the matter up with Mr Sachs and they say they can not put the show on till spring. So I said lets have some definite date so I can inform the Club as all plans hinge on the Fogg decision. Se he has reserved April 4-25. It could come later till middle of June if that works out better with your other plans. Please write him and confirm this date, or at any rate make the direct communication in any way you see fit. Cordially, Harley

[JURIST] Swiss voters are set to determine the future direction of their small country's role in Europe in a referendum Sunday. The Swiss are not voting on the EU Constitution - traditionally-neutral Switzerland is not a member of the Union [EU backgrounder on EU-Swiss relations] - but Swiss citizens will nonetheless decide whether to adopt common border controls with the European community. Though a majority of Swiss voters support an increasingly close association with Europe, in recent weeks the margin has decreased as France [JURIST report] and the Netherlands [JURIST report] recently rejected the EU charter. The battle over the direction of Switzerland pits the nationalist Swiss People's Party (SVP) [official website in Swiss-German] in the "no" group against the strong pro-business lobby seeking to integrate and get out the "yes" vote. The Financial Times has more.
[JURIST] Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas [Wikipedia profile] Saturday issued a decree officially delaying the scheduled July 17 parliamentary elections in the Palestinian Authority [official website] to allow time to settle a disagreement over election law changes. Holding up the vote is a dispute over the method for picking candidates. The delay is likely to please Abbas' Fatah party [party website in Arabic], currently reeling from recent charges of corruption. Militant group Hamas [Wikipedia profile], experiencing a surge in support in recent local elections, opposes the delay. No new election date has been set, and observers expect no vote for several months. BBC News has more.
[JURIST] In a State Department human trafficking report [text] released Friday the US accused 14 nations [country reports] of failing to adequately stop the flow of slaves traded into prostitution, child sex work, and forced labor. According to the State Department, as many as 800,000 people are purchased and sold annually, many because of false promises of better work opportunities. Among the 14 nations were 4 US allies in the Middle East: Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, United Arab Emirites, and Qatar. Saudi Arabia, a key US partner in the war on terror, was specifically targeted [DOS report] for failing to prosecute slave traders and not meeting "minimum standards for the elimination of trafficking." A member of the Saudi Arabian National Human Rights Association expressed surprise [Aljazeera report] at the findings and insisted that in Saudi Arabia there were specific campaigns to arrest traffickers. AP has more.
[JURIST] After jurors in the trial of former HealthSouth CEO Richard Scrushy [JURIST news archive] told Judge Karon Bowdre [JURIST report] Friday that they were unable to reach a verdict, Bowdre told them to continue deliberating, stressing the time and expense invested by the government to try the case. Prosecutor Richard Smith dispelled any rumors of a possible settlement, even with a mistrial [JURIST report] likely, by stating flatly, "We're not striking a deal." Scrushy is accused of directing a massive $2.7 billion accounting fraud. AP has more.
[JURIST] A panel of the US Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals [official website] Friday struck down [PDF opinion] a Virginia law prohibiting a controversial late-term partial-birth abortion procedure, finding it unconstitutional because it lacks an exception to protect a woman's health. The 2-1 decision upheld a 2003 ruling finding the law "unconstitutional on its face." In a pointed dissent Judge Paul V. Niemeyer declared that the majority's decision, "in essence, constitutionalizes infanticide of the most gruesome nature." A spokesperson for the Center for Reproductive Rights [advocacy website] in New York hailed the decision [press release] as correctly following Supreme Court precedent and placing high value on the health of women. The Washington Post has more.
[JURIST] Saddam Hussein's morale has dropped due to the the magnitude of the charges against him and the fact that his trial will be before an impartial court, according to Judge Raid Juhi [NYT report] of the Iraqi Special Tribunal [official website, English version], speaking in an interview published Saturday in the London-based newspaper Asharq al-Awsat [newspaper website in Arabic]. Juhi said that Saddam and other detained former regime leaders are facing punishments ranging from life in jail to the death penalty. Saddam lawyer Khalil al-Duleimi disagreed with Juhi's comments, saying Saddam was in "high spirits" at their last meeting in April. No official date has been set for the trial but, echoing recent comments by Iraqi President Jalal Talabani [JURIST report] Juhi said he expected Saddam to go before the Tribunal in the next two months. AP has more.
[JURIST] The Navajo Nation's Tribal Council voted Friday to override Navajo President Joe Shirley Jr.'s [Navajo Nation profile] veto of a same-sex marriage ban [JURIST report] it approved last month for the UnitedS States' largest Indian reservation. The Dine Marriage Act of 2005 defined marriage as a relationship between a man and a woman. The vote on the veto override was 62-14 with one delegate explaining why gay marriage is forbidden by the Navajo ways: "It all boils down to the circle of life. We were put on this earth to produce offspring." The Navajo Nation [official website] has over 180,000 residents in areas of New Mexico, Arizona and Utah. Navajo President Shirley recently discussed gay marriage in Native America on Democracy Now [transcript and audio]. AP has more.
[JURIST] Italian prosecutors have appealed the 2004 acquittal [JURIST report] of Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi [BBC profile] on charges that he bribed judges to block competing industrialist Carlo De Benedetti from buying a state-owned food conglomerate. In 1985, judges stopped the sale and the food group eventually ended up being partitioned and sold in pieces. In Italy, both acquittals and convictions are appealable. Berlusconi, a wealthy businesman, owns a large segment of the Italian media market [business profile] and has faced many criminal cases where the statute of limitations have either run out or he has been acquitted. AP has more.
[JURIST] Former FBI No. 2 W. Mark Felt [Wikipedia profile], also known as "Deep Throat", is not likely to be prosecuted for revealing information to reporters during the Watergate scandal [Washington Post retrospective] according to US Attorney General Alberto Gonzales, speaking Friday. Felt's identity was revealed earlier this week [JURIST report] in a Vanity Fair article, but the incident occurred 30 years ago and Gonzales said the Justice Department has other priorities. While former members of the Nixon administration contend that the information Felt released was confidential, it is not certain that he actually broke any laws. AP has more.

Have you ever wondered why there are so many types of dog houses? From Igloo dog houses and portable huts to insulated dog houses and houses with a view, there is an array of housing accommodations for your pooch. Just as you enjoy your special place that you've designated in your home to relax and unwind, dogs need a place of their own to do just the same. Whether your dog mainly resides outside or inside, an assortment of dog houses are available to suit your dog's specific needs. For example, insulated dog houses and Igloo dog houses are ideal for outside dogs, as these types of houses are designed to shield your dog from the sun and heat as well as the cold and rain. As a responsible and caring pet parent, you understand that it is essential to provide your dog with all of the amenities necessary to keep him feeling safe and comfortable all year long.
As their ancestors and cousins sought shelter and privacy in caves and dens, dogs require dog houses for the same reasons-privacy, security, comfort and protection. You can determine which type of house will best suit your dog by determining his needs. Various types of insulated dog houses are beneficial for outside dogs that live in moderately fluctuating climates as their insulation efficiently traps in warmth on cold days and cool air on hot days. Igloo dog houses are a popular insulated type that is equipped to shelter your dog in fluctuating weather conditions and also offers an extended entryway for added security. In addition, detachable doors can be added to provide more warmth to outside dog houses during colder weather.
Dogs that travel frequently could benefit from a collapsible kennel, or portable hut or tent; meanwhile, a doggie duo would benefit from a duplex-style house that allows the pair to lounge side by side. Dogs with a tendency to sunbathe may benefit from dog houses that are equipped with patios and porches. Pampered pooches with lavish lifestyles may prefer mansion and palace-style accommodations, while a country-living pooch may prefer a barn or lodge. Whether insulated dog houses, such as Igloo dog houses are a good match, or it's the log cabin-style that is desired, ensure your dog's privacy and comfort with the house that is the perfect fit for your dog!

# of PK's/Gm | 2.75 | 2nd | 5.33 | 22nd |
Yes, we're still in the early days of the season, but I wanted to go ahead and get my spreadsheets set up to run these quickly for each game preview. If the refs play a big role tonight, we could see a high-scoring contest, as the Ducks are dynamite on the power play, but a dumpster fire on the PK.
Anaheim Ducks
The Ducks will be in a sour mood for this one, coming off a 5-0 defeat in their home opener against Vancouver just last night.
One of the most interesting moves in the Western Conference came over the summer, as the Ducks brought in Bruce Boudreau as head coach to replace Randy Carlyle (who is now in Toronto). Boudreau led some great, high-flying teams in Washington that faltered in the playoffs, but when the decision was made to implement a more defensive style of play, things fell apart. Can he get back to run-and-gun success with the talented group of forwards in Anaheim?
The folks at Anaheim Calling have a fine primeron the major changes for this season's roster, along with their hopes for this season:
Overall, this team should be able to score and give this team a chance. On paper, the forward core is sexy. What team wouldn't want Ryan Getzlaf, Corey Perry, Teemu Selanne and Bobby Ryan? Ideally, those guys should put up the numbers that can compete with anyone in terms of production. Even if the defensive end isn't up to par and Hiller can't keep up, the Ducks shouldn't have a problem. But, unfortunately, we've seen that this doesn't always work for this team, because as a whole, you need more than four great players.
The other major storyline in Anaheim is similar to what Nashville had to deal with last season, a pair of star players in their prime (Corey Perry & Ryan Getzlaf) are heading towards unrestricted free agency, and let's face it, they could probably hit the jackpot much like Ryan Suter & Zach Parise did if they want to hit the open market. The new wrinkle in this CBA is that they could get one more year on a contract if they sign in Anaheim, so will that be a factor in their decision-making?
A good resource for the latest line combinations is Daily Faceoff, and the hot hand to keep an eye out for is on the third line, as Daniel Winnik leads the Ducks in scoring with 4 goals and one assist through three games:
Nashville Predators
Josh Cooper reported on some fresh lines used in practice yesterday, so we'll have to see if they show up on the ice tonight:
Colin Wilson | Mike Fisher | Martin Erat |
Gabriel Bourque | David Legwand | Patric Hornqvist |
Sergei Kostitsyn | Nick Spaling | Craig Smith |
Rich Clune | Paul Gaustad | Brandon Yip |
That 3rd line could be a train wreck, but I feel better about the top two, at least. We're looking forward to having Paul Gaustad back in the lineup as well.
On defense, Jonathon Blum is the only skater not to get into a game for the Preds yet, so we'll have to see if he gets a chance back on his home turf.

VIDEO: Phillie Phanatic, Mr. Met team up to fight cancer
Their teams are bitter division rivals on the field, but that didn't stop Phillie Phanatic and Mr. Met from teaming up with MasterCard for an important fight.
The Philadelphia Phillies' greenest fan and the New York Mets' giant baseball-headed mascot shot a MasterCard commercial promoting the credit card company's up to $4 million donation to Stand Up To Cancer for cardholders' meal purchases of $10 or more.
The commercial shows the mascots pulling pranks on each other at the Mets' Citi Field before finally shaking hands and sitting down to share a meal.

Casey Anthony: True Hollywood Story to Air Next Week
by Free Britney at .After a lengthy and controversial murder trial surrounding the death of her young daughter, Caylee, Casey Anthony was found not guilty and is a free woman.
That much you know. But just who is Casey Anthony?
To this day, the media frenzy surrounding her continues, and despite her disappearance from view, she remains one of the most recognizable faces in the country.
In a brand new E! True Hollywood Story, her former boyfriends, attorneys, journalists and other speak out about the woman at the center of this infamous case.
E!'s special on the Floridian airs next Wednesday, October 19. Some of the quotes from Casey Anthony and those associated with her in her True Hollywood Story:
"If you wanted to hang out [or] go party she was always down." - Brandon Snow, Casey Anthony's ex-boyfriend
"Casey was very smart and very popular. She was someone that everyone pretty much kind of knew." - Angel Rivera, a former classmate of Anthony's
"You follow someone around, let's say 24/7, then you only play 1-2 hours of their most difficult time, that does not define that individual. That was an unfair portrayal of her." - Dorothy Clay Sims, Casey's defense attorney
"She didn't take off any clothes; she wasn't up on the stage stripping or anything. It was just her you know, standing around and dancing in a blue dress" - Clint House, her old friend, re: Casey Anthony pictures in a "hot body contest""It started going down like, 'you're a baby killer, you killed that baby.' They were going to kidnap my daughters and see how I like [it] and then they started saying that they [were] going to kill them and they [were] going to send them to me in pieces in a box to my house and yeah... I hate that part." - Zenaida Gonzalez, a.k.a. Zanny the Nanny, on the reaction of the public when they believed she was involved.
"I think the priority should be figuring out what really happened because that's the only way that Caylee will ever get justice. It's not seeing [Casey] behind bars and it's not seeing her out of jail. It's knowing what happened and the truth." - Michelle Bart, former George and Cindy Anthony spokeswoman

Casey Anthony makes me sick. To think that she is going to profit from the death of her daughter makes me sicker. I refuse to watch anything about Casey Anthony!! I didn't even watch this clip. If Barbara Walters does and interview, BOYCOTT BARBARA WALTERS!!! BOYCOTT ALL CASEY ANTHONY PROFITS!!! What goes around comes around...Casey Anthony will get hers. I hope someone puts duct-tape over her mouth & throws in the garbage the the piece of trash she has proven to be.
Casey Anthony is guilty of murdering her baby. Your kids should br your whole life. My kids and grandkida and my husband are my whole world. My daughter, Lisa died 2 years ago, and I thought I was going to die because I hurt so bad . She was only 37 years old and I don't understand how Casey could kill her baby. I just don't understand it.
Watch someone break into your house kill your whole family but leave you to take the fall as no dna is left by the killer and the only dna that is found is yours. The murder weapon is found with no fongerprints or dna. Police state no evidence shows no outside killer. You freak and start going crazy thinking you are insane. People spred rumors and attack your house calling you a killer for years. A/k/a, the world we live in. Good luck. Casey not guilty because it is ok to say we dont know regardless of what may seem incriminating.
I followed this case from Day 1 and was totally shocked by the verdict. I no longer want to see her name or face in the news unless its a report about her being sent to jail for something or an act of vigilante justice, other than that I think people are totally over her bull! Some people have asked "why havent they tried to find the real killer of Caylee now that her mother was sent free", DUH its because she did it and everyone knows that. Its very unfortunate for that poor little baby whose mother is a worthless piece of crap!

A Proprietary Phytonutrient-Rich Blend
Acai (Euterpa oleracea - pronounced ah - sigh - ee) is a unique dark purple berry that grows high up in palm trees (Açaí Palm) of the Amazonian Rain Forest. Our Certified Organic & Sustainably-Harvested, Freeze-Dried Açaí Power comes from Indigenous Family Co-Ops in Northern Brazil. Açaí Berries contain Naturally-Occurring Phytonutrients (such as: Anthocyanins, Polyphenols & Phytosterols), Healthy Omega Fatty Acids (with similar Essential Fatty Acid Profile to Olive Oil), Fiber & Protein (Rare in Fruits).
Pomegranate (Punica granatum), one of the earliest cultivated fruits, dates back to approximately 3,500 B.C.E. This delicious, richly-pigmented fruit is truly one of the most beneficial SuperFruits known to humans. Pomegranates contain naturally-occurring Phytonutrients (e.g. Polyphenols, Anthocyanins, Punicalagins & Ellagic Acid), which act as powerful Free Radical Scavengers.

These compounds help to increase Nitric Oxide in the body naturally, thus assisting the vasodilation (relaxation) of blood vessels.
Our ResveraPhenol™ Blend is composed of: MegaNatural Gold Grape Seed Extract and Resveravine Grape Vine Extract (derived from the Grape & Wine Industries in the United States & France). These 100% natural ingredients are derived from Grapes, Grape Seed & Grapevine (Vitis vinifera), and are standardized for Total Polyphenols, trans-Resveratrol & Oligostilbenes.

FAQs about Living and Housing in Germany
Arrival data
Courses start on the 20th but I arrive on the 3ed of the month? Can I move into my accommodation at once?
1) If you rent into an EBS dorm, there are some opening data to be observed. Please check your contract or cunsult the housing coordinator. You can not move into a dorm before that date due to maintenance reasons. Here you can either find a place in a youth hostel or in a bed and breakfast in the area.
2) Private accommodation is rented on a monthly basis and you are entitled to the accommodation starting on the 1st of the month. If you already know you will be very early you should look out for a private accommodation.
3) If you arrive about 3 days before dorm opening you can put you luggage into a lockbox at either Wiesbaden main train station or Frankfurt Airport and travel Europe. More info below.
The best way to get around in Oestrich is the bike. A bicyclist is considered a regular participant in traffic and his actions are regulated by laws. All you need to know about bikes and German traffic can be found on this great website: bicyclegermany.com
Good and cheep bikes can be bought in Wiesbaden at Der Radler, very close to the main train station and brought to Oestrich by train. One of our international students recommended this place.
It is not only a place to get good thrifty bikes but also a state-funded project creating work in the city of Wiesbaden. Read more.. in German
Catering on Campus
Schloss Campus hosts the university cafeteria where you can have breakfast or lunch.
Please find here an example food plan. It is in German but if you use a translator you can get a good overview over prices and dishes.
Veggies can survive on side dishes. Vegans will most probably not.
Cost estimation
How much you will spend per month depends on many things: the price for your accommodation, your food and spare time activity choices and shopping habits.
But during the last two years we have been running a survey among our international students and the average amounts for housing, food and other supplies is about 615,00 per month.
For Houing plan a minimum rent of about 400,00 per month incl. all expenditures. This amount buys you either a tiny apartment or a well-equipped room in a flat share.
German rents rarely include a flat-rate on expenditures (water, electricity or heating). You will pay your personal consumption and resources are expensive here.
Landlords demand high deposits (up to 3 rents) and keep them if tenants do not treat the flat appropriately. If you are not accustomed to cleaning your home plan an extra 40,00 per month for a cleaning person.
Blocked account: To obtain a visa all foreign students from non-EU countries (e.g. China, Cameroon, etc.) are required to prove that their budget is sufficient to meet their living costs during their stay in Germany. The visa can only be issued once the student has deposited a specified amount of money in a German bank account (e.g. with Deutsche Bank) and blocked this sum with the Federal Republic of Germany as beneficiary. The sum that is requested at the moment is 670,00 per month. This might be a good orientation how much you will require.
EBS Dorms
EBS Universität offers a limited number of dorm places and those are not on campus. Close to each other and about 3 km away from the Oestrich Winkel campus sides are two locations which offer mostly flat-share type of accommodation. The Dorms are only offered to international students - one term exchange - who have no European experience at all.
Students can apply for a dorm space of their choice during the Flat Hunt and see if they are lucky. The registration does not automatically entile students to dorm space.
Some rooms have private bathrooms and share the kitchen and public areas while others are classical flat share communities, where not more than 4 students share all facilities together.
The dorms are directly at the bus line to the Oestrich campus sides and have good access to shops, a post office, bakery and at least one English spoken general med. practitioner.
The voltage throughout Europe is 220 V. You need to bring an adapter from home. They are not usually sold here.
This is how the German plugs and sockets look like: 2 round pins sticking out.
Food: Shopping and Prices
It is certainly cheaper to cook for yourself than to buy convenience food. Supermarkets are the starting point from which to start out. But in there are also small specialized shops in the area like butchers, bakers, pastry cooks andmany vine growers. There is also a farmer's market close to Burg Campus at Markt Street every Wednesday from 8:00 -12:00 where you can buy fresh products from the area.
Food prices:
Check out the following websites to gain an impression of food and see the prices. All those supermarkets have local branchces in Oestrich Winkel. REWE / ALDI Süd/ Netto
Garbage recycling
Germans share the awareness that we have to be considerate with our planets resources and using material more than once is only vital for our future.
Laws regulate the proper disposal of garbage and garbage collectors check for non-belonging garbage inside the containers. Wrongly disposed garbage will be left standing no matter how full. Having a full trash can for an other month is no fun. Your neighbours will be enchanted while your landlord can be fined by the city with up to 400,00.
Lets prevent it it is fairly easy if you have accepted the fact that you require 4 trash bins in the house.
Glass Glass is not collected on a monthly basis form households. You have to bring it to the collecting points. The containers are near shops or in public areas.
Your next collection points are:
Paper Blue bin- (most often blue, sometimes other colour with the sticker PAPIER on it). All types of paper and carton boxes without traces of plastic.
Organic Waist (Brown bin, sometimes other colour with sticker BIOMÜLL) Kitchen waste, boiled and not boiled, coffee filters, all fruits, plants, garden waist. Wrap it in paper - no plastic.
Rest garbage: (Black bin) everything that does not go into one of the others goes here.
Yellow sack (sometimes there is a yellow waist bin) all plastic stuff, wrappings, plastic bags, milk containers, shampoo bottles... All tin stuff like non-refundable cans, tinfoil and so on. Most of the wrappings and packaging have the recycling sign printed on them.
Yellow sacks can be picked up for free at your community centre.
Not every flat comes with a washing machine.
You can use the student launderette on Burg Campus, inner yard. Two large washing machines and 2 dryers are at your disposal. They are operated with 1 coins and you will require 2 or 3 per round.
Dryers are not as common in Germany as one might think: many people dry their washing outside on the line. NEVER dry your washing inside the flat. You will have mould in no time. German houses are very well insulated to keep cold out and warmth in. The effect is that dampness from drying stays in and damages the walls. Ask your landlord where and how to dry your washing.
Laundry in the tub
Some students wash their laundry in the bathroom. Some even if they have a full functioning washing machine in the flat. Please abstain from that. You use too much water. It can get very expensive either for you (if your expenditures are calculated at departure) or for students next term who will have a higherall-inclusive price.
Then there is also the environmental aspect it is drinking water you are wasting! A w. mashine helps to safe water.
There is no possibility to store your luggage at the university when you plan travelling before or after classes. Convenient storage places are:
Lockers at the cost of 7,00 - 9.00 per day.
Gate B, Level 1 (Arrival) open 24/7
betwen B - C, Level 2 (Departure) open 06:00 A.M. -10:00 P.M.
Gate D, Level 2 (Arrival)open 06:00 A.M. -10:00 P.M.
for max. 3 months. Prices for 24h range from 8,00 - 12.00
Frankfurt aM main Train station:
The link to the train station is in German only, but the main points are:
Lockers are at Track 24, opposite track 18/19 and in the main hall opposite the DB Travel Centre. Cost per day: small locker 3 to 4; big locker 5 to 6; exact change, no change back.
Or the manned luggage storage with office hours Monday to Friday 6.30am 7.30pm; Sat/Sun closed. Cost 6,50 per day.
Medical prescriptions
In Germany you need to see a doctor before buying some drugs like the birth control pill or the morning after pill. If you require any other medication that might be only available on prescription, please prepare yourself before departure.
Our international department has a good overview on Healthcare in Germany.
Public transport
Your student ID card comes with a Public transport pass that is valid for the whole term. Please check out the options to travel by bus and train in the area on this website by the international department.: Getting around
How to buy a ticket:
By bus: you just tell the bus driver where you would like to go and pay with him. Keep small change ready.
By train: you have to buy a ticket at the ticket machine before boarding the train.
Here are instructions for the ticket machines.
If you catch an older machine, you have to enter a destination code. The code for Wiesbaden is 6500, Frankfurt is 5000, Eltville Hattenheim (Schloss Campus) is 6455 and Oestrich-Winkel (closer to Burg Campus) is 6301.
The newer machines are touch screen and you just type in what you need.
The bus and train routes can be found here.
Returnable bottles and cans
Some glass or plastic bottles can go directly into recycling systems (yellow sack or glass container). Learn more about garbage Recycling in Germany.
But many bottles and cans (germ. Mehrwegflasche/ multy trip bottle) are part of refundable deposit systems and can be returned to the retailer. Retailers (shops and petrol stations) are supposed to take them back and refund you the deposit. Not every shop takes all bottles. It safes time to bring bottles back where you have bought them. Beverage cases have also deposits on them.
Even though we have our beautiful river Rhine it is not allowed to swim in it! You may see some crazy natives doing it but please dont copy it!
But we have some very nice outdoor swimming pools for hot weather. If you dont care for swimming pools you can also sit in your swim gear on any lawn/grass area you can find. Nobody will think you are crazy: you will blend in nicely with the locals.

Some things simply must be blogged
March 19, 2012 Leave a comment
Some days the universe gives generously. After an extended period of non-blogging, today I have been hit by a torrent of things that simply must be blogged.
First up we have an unfortunate piece of art direction. Or a brilliantly subversive piece of advertising sabotage by an ideologically-opposed designer. (via Copyranter)
Then we have Hipster Hitler. I hate the phrase 'wrong on so many levels'. I hate it almost as much as I hate the word 'special'. But it does seem apt when describing a comic strip that re-imagines Hitler as a slightly wet Hipster. (via StopPress)
Lastly, we have what I believe I may state without fear of contradiction is the greatest achievement in the history of the internet. I give you, Otters who look like Benedict Cumberbatch. (via Sell, Sell, Sell)

Seven children under 8 years of age, along with two adults, died as a result of a fire Saturday at their home in Charleston, W.Va.
Firefighters found one smoke detector in the home. It was stored in a cabinet and was not operating.
No one can say with certainty whether operating smoke detectors would have prevented the Charleston deaths. But it is known that smoke and carbon monoxide detectors - when working - do save lives.
Too many homes lack such detectors. And in too many with them, they are installed and forgotten. Batteries are not replaced and operating checks are not performed.
If your home doesn't have smoke detectors, install at least one. If you already have them, check whether they are operating and replace the batteries, regularly.
Officials recommend changing the batteries when you change the clocks at the start and end of daylight saving time.
Do check your smoke and carbon monoxide detectors now and make it a point to do so regularly in the future.
The lives of your family could depend on it.

Old phone number in the memory???
i recently bought a used tour and it was on verizon's network. i noticed that if you hit the green phone button to start dialing, you can see "My number: ____" at the top.
so i contacted the seller, and asked if their number was still attached to the phone. they said their number wasn't and told me theirs, so i see it's not the same...
they said they called verizon and they said the number i see on the screen is just "in the history of the phone."
i want to unlock this phone. will that number disappear when i unlock it? will i have issues when i am ready to use it?
i'm a beginner when it comes to all of this, so i'm kinda lost. D: - 05-25-2012, 11:08 AM #2

The Silence of the Lambs is a 1991 American thriller film that blends elements of the crime and horror genres.[3] Directed by Jonathan Demme and starring Jodie Foster, Anthony Hopkins, Ted Levine, and Scott Glenn, the film is based on Thomas Harris' 1988 novel of the same name, his second to feature Hannibal Lecter, a brilliant psychiatrist and cannibalistic serial killer.
In the film, Clarice Starling, a young U.S. FBI trainee, seeks the advice of the imprisoned Dr. Lecter to apprehend another serial killer, known only as "Buffalo Bill".
The Silence of the Lambs was released on February 14, 1991, and grossed $272.7 million worldwide against its $19 million budget. It was only the third film, the other two being It Happened One Night and One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, to win Academy Awards in all the top five categories: Best Picture, Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Director, and Best Writing (Adapted Screenplay). It is also the first Best Picture winner widely considered to be a horror film, and only the second such film to be nominated in the category, after The Exorcist in 1973.[4][5] The film is considered "culturally, historically or aesthetically" significant by the U.S. Library of Congress and was selected to be preserved in the National Film Registry in 2011.[6]
Clarice Starling is pulled from her training at the FBI Academy at Quantico, Virginia by Jack Crawford of the Bureau's Behavioral Science Unit. He tasks her with interviewing Hannibal Lecter, a former psychiatrist and incarcerated cannibalistic serial killer, believing Lecter's insight might be useful in the pursuit of a serial killer nicknamed "Buffalo Bill", who skins his female victims' corpses.
Starling travels to the Baltimore State Hospital for the Criminally Insane, where she is led by Frederick Chilton to Lecter's solitary quarters. Although initially pleasant and courteous, Lecter grows impatient with Starling's attempts at "dissecting" him and rebuffs her. As she is leaving, one of the prisoners flicks semen at her. Lecter, who considers this act "unspeakably ugly", calls Starling back and tells her to seek out an old patient of his. This leads her to a storage shed where she discovers a man's severed head. She returns to Lecter, who tells her that the man is linked to Buffalo Bill. He offers to profile Buffalo Bill on the condition that he be transferred away from Chilton, whom he detests.
When Buffalo Bill kidnaps a U.S. Senator's daughter, Catherine Martin, Crawford authorizes Starling to offer Lecter a fake deal promising a prison transfer if he provides information that helps find Buffalo Bill and rescue the abductee. Instead, Lecter begins a game of quid pro quo with Starling, offering comprehensive clues and insights about Buffalo Bill if Starling will give him information about her own past, something she was advised not to do. Chilton secretly records the conversation and reveals Starling's deal as a sham before offering to transfer Lecter in exchange for a deal of Chilton's own making. Lecter agrees and is flown to Memphis, Tennessee, where he reveals personal information on Buffalo Bill to federal agents.
As the manhunt begins, Starling visits Lecter at his special cell in a Tennessee courthouse and confronts him with her decryption of the name he provided ("Louis Friend", an anagram of "iron sulfide", also known as fool's gold). Lecter refuses Starling's pleas for the truth and forces her to recount her traumatic childhood. She tells him how she was orphaned and relocated to a relative's farm in Montana, where she discovered a lamb slaughterhouse and even made a failed attempt to rescue one of them. Lecter gives her back the case files on Buffalo Bill after their conversation is interrupted by Chilton and the police who escort her from the building. Later that evening, Lecter kills his guards, escapes from his cell and disappears.
Starling analyzes Lecter's annotations to the case files and realizes that Buffalo Bill knew his first victim personally. Starling travels to the victim's hometown and discovers that Buffalo Bill was a tailor, with dresses and dress patterns identical to the patches of skin removed from each of his victims. She telephones Crawford to inform him that Buffalo Bill is trying to fashion a "woman suit" of real skin, but Crawford is already en route to make an arrest, having cross-referenced Lecter's notes with hospital archives and finding a man named Jame Gumb, who once applied unsuccessfully for a sex-change operation. Starling continues interviewing friends of Buffalo Bill's first victim in Ohio while Crawford leads an F.B.I. tactical team to Gumb's address in Illinois. The house in Illinois is empty and Starling is led to the house of "Jack Gordon", who she realizes is actually Jame Gumb. She pursues him into his multi-room basement, where she discovers that Catherine is still alive, but trapped in a dry well. After turning off the basement lights, Gumb stalks Starling in the dark with night-vision goggles but gives his position away when he cocks his revolver; Starling turns around just in time and kills him.
Some time later at her FBI Academy graduation party, Starling receives a phone call from Lecter, who is at an airport in Bimini. He assures her that he does not plan to pursue her and asks her to return the favor, which she says she cannot do. Lecter then hangs up the phone, saying that he is "having an old friend for dinner" and begins following a newly arrived Chilton before disappearing into the crowd.
The role of Dr. Hannibal Lecter was originally to be played by Gene Hackman, who also wished to direct; but he later withdrew from the project owing to the evolving screenplay's graphic content.[7] Michelle Pfeiffer was offered the role of Clarice Starling, but turned it down, later saying, "(It was) a difficult decision, but I got nervous about the subject matter".[8]
The Silence of the Lambs was filmed primarily in and around Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, with some scenes in nearby northern West Virginia.[9] The exterior of the Western Center near Canonsburg, Pennsylvania served as the setting for Baltimore State Hospital for the Criminally Insane.
The film was distributed by Orion Pictures.
The Silence of the Lambs was released on February 14, 1991, grossing $13,766,814 during its opening weekend. Surpassing its own budget after one week, the film proved to be a major box office success. At the time it closed on October 10, 1991, the film grossed $130,742,922 domestically with a total worldwide gross of $272,742,922.[2] The film was the fourth highest-grossing film of 1991.[10]
Hopkins, Foster, and Levine garnered much acclaim for their performances. Critics were particularly impressed with Hopkins' performance, even though Hopkins' screen time is only a little more than 16 minutes.[11]
The Silence of the Lambs was a sleeper hit that gradually gained widespread success[12] and critical acclaim; Rotten Tomatoes records that The Silence of the Lambs received a 96% "fresh" rating.[13] Roger Ebert specifically mentioned the "terrifying qualities" of Hannibal Lecter,[14] and later recognized the film as a "horror masterpiece", alongside such classics as Nosferatu, Psycho, and Halloween.[15] However, the film is also notable for being one of two multi-Academy Award winners disapproved of by Ebert's colleague, Gene Siskel, the other being Unforgiven.[16]

The film won the Big Five Academy Awards: Best Picture, Best Director (Demme), Best Actor (Hopkins), Best Actress (Foster), and Best Writing (Adapted Screenplay) (Ted Tally), making it only the third film in history to accomplish that feat. It was also nominated for Best Sound Mixing (Tom Fleischman and Christopher Newman) and Best Film Editing, but lost to Terminator 2: Judgment Day and JFK, respectively.[17]
Other awards include being named Best Film by the National Board of Review of Motion Pictures, CHI Awards and PEO Awards. Demme won the Silver Bear for Best Director at the 41st Berlin International Film Festival[18] and was nominated for the Golden Globe Award for Best Director. The film was nominated for the prestigious Grand Prix of the Belgian Film Critics Association. It was also nominated for the British Academy Film Award for Best Film. Screenwriter Ted Tally received an Edgar Award for Best Motion Picture Screenplay. The film was awarded Best Horror Film of the Year during the 2nd Horror Hall of Fame telecast, with Vincent Price presenting the award to the film's executive producer Gary Goetzman.[19]
In 1998, the film was listed as one of the 100 greatest films in the past 100 years by the American Film Institute.[20] In 2006, at the Key Art Awards, the original poster for The Silence of the Lambs was named best film poster "of the past 35 years".[21]
The Silence of the Lambs placed seventh on Bravo's The 100 Scariest Movie Moments for Lecter's escape scene. The American Film Institute named Hannibal Lecter (as portrayed by Hopkins) the number one film villain of all time[22] and Clarice Starling (as portrayed by Foster) the sixth greatest film hero of all time.[22]
In 2011, ABC aired a prime-time special, Best in Film: The Greatest Movies of Our Time, that counted down the best films chosen by fans based on results of a poll conducted by ABC and People magazine. The Silence of the Lambs was selected as the No. 1 Best Suspense/Thriller and Dr. Hannibal Lecter was selected as the No. 4 Greatest Film Character.
The film and its characters have appeared in the following AFI "100 Years" lists:
Upon its release, The Silence of the Lambs was criticized by members of the LGBT community for its portrayal of Buffalo Bill as bisexual and transsexual. In response to the critiques, Demme replied that Buffalo Bill "wasn't a gay character. He was a tormented man who hated himself and wished he was a woman because that would have made him as far away from himself as he possibly could be." Demme added that he "came to realize that there is a tremendous absence of positive gay characters in movies."[23]
In a 1992 interview with Playboy magazine, notable feminist and women's rights advocate Betty Friedan stated, "I thought it was absolutely outrageous that The Silence of the Lambs won four [sic] Oscars. [...] I'm not saying that the movie shouldn't have been shown. I'm not denying the movie was an artistic triumph, but it was about the evisceration, the skinning alive of women. That is what I find offensive. Not the Playboy centerfold."[24]

This is really difficult. I have a 5 year old, 3 year old and nearly 2 year old and juggling bedtimes is one of the most frustrating things we deal with. Most of the time, my wife and I divide and conquer, but when one of us is home alone, we try to put them down in shifts. My 3 year old needs someone in the room with her to fall asleep, so we try to put down the 2 year old and move on from there. Often times, she comes into our room in the middle of the night and we just let it happen, Some of those times, we will wait until she is asleep and carry her into her bed. Keep trying different things until you find what works. Good luck!
You may want to try some new tricks to get him to stay in his bed. I put a baby gate up on my 3 year old's doorway to encourage him to stay in his room. Then I put a fish tank in his room with lights so he could watch the fish. Finally, I put a CD of bedtime stories on in his room. It is a kids CD of classic stories like Peter Rabbit and Thumbelina. He listens to this and falls asleep.
Now this will only work if he is tired. SO you have to look at his nap schedule. Is he napping too much or too long in the day? If so, try limiting his nap or letting him cut it out all together. Also, make sure he is not hyping up as the night approaches. If he is running all over the house it will be hard to put him down to sleep.
Lastly, make a chart with stickers. When he goes to sleep well...and stays asleep..put a sticker on his chart. If you stay consistent, it will work. Just don't give in and sleep with him or he will learn just to cry or get up longer. Good luck!
