Moebius' 18 tips for comics artists
Jean Giraud (aka Moebius) may have passed away more than two years ago, but his works, and advice, lives on. Thanks to a translation by artist Xurxo g Penalta, English speakers now have the opportunity to read Moebius' 18 tips for fellow cartoonists, from a 1996 interview with the Mexican magazine La Jornada Semanal.
Penalto's studio mate Brandon Graham has posted the European master's "brief manual" for cartoonists on his blog. This last tip is oddly prescient for 2014 despite being offered nearly two decades ago: "Now it is possible to find [a] reader in any part of the planet. We must have this present. To begin with, drawing is a way of personal communication, but this does not imply that the artist must envelop himself in a bubble; it's communication with the beings near us, with oneself, but also with unknown people. Drawing is a medium to communicate with the great family we have not met, the public, the world."
SPX adds Carroll, Friedman, Graham and Pond
Emily Carroll, Drew Friedman, Brandon Graham and Mimi Pond will make their Small Press Expo debuts, joining previously announced guests like Jules Feiffer, Lynda Barry and James Sturm at the Sept. 13-14 event in Bethesda, Maryland.
"Having Brandon, Emily, Drew and Mimi for the first time at SPX is a great thrill for both the SPX Executive Committee and the SPX community," SPX Executive Director Warren Bernard told The Washington Post. "Their diverse styles and the mediums they work in really reflect the wide view that the SPX community has of the comics world. We are totally stoked about them coming to this year's show."
As we noted just last week, it's been a particularly good year professionally for Carroll, who won both the Cartoonist Studio Prize and a Doug Wright Award. The first print collection of her fairy-tale horror comics, Through the Woods, will be released next month by McElderry Books, an imprint of Simon and Schuster.
Check out Brandon Graham's Emerald City program cover
King City creator Brandon Graham has unveiled his illustration for the program cover of this year's Emerald City Comic Con, jam-packed with creator-owned characters ranging from Savage Dragon and Sharknife to Bandette and Fone Bone. You'll even notice Graham's own Earthling J.J. Catingsworth III hitching a ride on the back of Madman.
They're of course all characters from creators who'll be attending the March 28-30 show, depicted riding the signature escalators of the Washington State Convention Center in Seattle. Graham promises a guide to all of the figures later.
The five best announcements from Image Expo
In three short years, Image Comics has turned Image Expo into the first big comics event of the year. Interest in the publisher's announcements has reached the point where I wish there were live-streaming video of the presentation. Maybe next year. For now, we have to settle with live coverage, which was still pretty fun. Image Expo didn't disappoint: It seemed as if every title announced caught my interest. There are a few that stand out, however, so here are my Top 5 picks of the announcements that went above and beyond.
1. Image signs Ed Brubaker and Sean Phillips to a five-year exclusive contract
The acclaimed collaborators have a perpetual green light at Image to do whatever they want for the next five years. That's a big vote of confidence, and a real commitment to support Brubaker and Phillips. It must be quite a relief for them to not have to worry about crafting the perfect pitch and convincing someone to believe in their story. They just get to create. It's an exciting arrangement, and one I hope will serve as a pilot program for others equally worthy.
Comics A.M. | Bitstrips' big year, and even bigger plans
Business | Bitstrips co-founder and CEO Jacob "Ba" Blackstock, whose DIY avatar and comic strip app exploded in 2013, reflects on the lessons of the year, and sketches out the Toronto company's goals for 2014. Unsurprisingly, those include finding more uses for its comics and, y'know, making money (earlier this month, Bitstrips confirmed a $3 million injection of venture capital, which will go toward more engineers, artists and designers).

Comics A.M. | Judge rules Sherlock Holmes is in public domain
Legal | In a decision that will undoubtedly usher in more Holmes and Watson novels, comic books, movies and television, a federal judge has issued a declarative judgment that the elements included in the 50 Sherlock Holmes stories published by Arthur Conan Doyle before Jan. 1, 1923 are in the public domain in the United States. That means creators are free to use the characters and elements from those stories (but not from the 10 published after 1923) without paying a licensing fee to the protective Arthur Conan Doyle Estate Ltd.
The ruling came as a result of a lawsuit filed early this year by Leslie Klinger, who served as an adviser on director Guy Ritchie's two Sherlock Holmes films and with Laurie R. King edited In the Company of Sherlock Holmes, a collection of new stories written by different authors. Although Klinger and King had paid a $5,000 licensing fee for a previous Holmes-inspired collection, their publisher received a letter from the Conan Doyle estate demanding another fee; in response, Klinger sued.

Joe Shuster Award nominees announced
The nominees have been announced for the 2013 Joe Shuster Awards, and faithful readers of Robot 6 will notice many familiar names on the list, including Fiona Staples, Brandon Graham, Jim Zubkavich, Ryan North and Darwyn Cooke. As you can see from that sampling, the nominees are broad in terms of styles and genres.
Named in honor of Superman co-creator Joe Shuster, the awards recognize the best of the Canadian comics world; nominees must be either Canadian citizens or permanent residents in Canada. The nominees are chosen by a committee and the winners by a jury, so there is no public vote. The awards will be presented Aug. 25 at a location to be announced later.
And with no further ado, here are the nominees:
• Isabelle Arsenault – Jane, le renard & moi (La Pastèque)
• Patrick Boutin-Gagné – Brögunn (Soleil)

• Marcus To – Batwing #9-15, 0, The Flash #10,15, Huntress #4-6 (DC Comics)
Brandon Graham suggests you skip that Vertigo short he drew
For the Brandon Graham completists, the King City creator and Prophet writer has posted the pages from the Madame Xanadu short story he drew for the 2010 House of Mystery Halloween Annual, preceded by his recollection of the Vertigo experience (aka "before I came up with my 'never ever work at DC ever' plan"). While the artwork is lovely, the process was a bit of a mixed bag.
"It was fun enough to draw and paid well but I don't actually recommend anyone track it down. (I really didn't like the story)," he wrote. "After this I wanted to make sure I only put out books I would want to buy myself. Live and learn and all that."
Alternative Comics catalog debuts on comiXology
When comics entrepreneur Marc Arsenault announced almost a year ago that he had bought defunct Alternative Comics in order to relaunch the publisher, a lot of fans (me included) were thrilled. Under founder Jeff Mason, Alternative introduced readers to creators like Graham Annable, Brandon Graham, James Kochalka, Ed Brubaker, Scott Campbell (of Great Movie Showdowns fame), Dean Haspiel and Josh Neufeld. So with Alternative and comiXology announcing today that the publisher's catalog is becoming available digitally on the app, I was eager to talk to Arsenault about their plans.
Michael May: For those who don't know you, what's your background in comics?
Marc Arsenault: Wow. Where to begin? I've been a pretty behind-the-scenes guy for most of my time in comics, but this year I've hit the quarter century mark for working in them.
I figured out that I wanted to make comics somewhere around eighth grade when I discovered RAW, Warrior and Heavy Metal. When I found out about the comics program at the School of Visual Arts (SVA) my path was clear. I didn't even apply to any other schools. I got to study with Harvey Kurtzman, Will Eisner, Joe Orlando, David Sandlin, Jerry Moriarity, Marshall Arisman and the very influential Jack Potter.
That experience was very relevant to Alternative Comics' past and present because it was there that I met Sam Henderson and Tom Hart. I shared a studio space with Tom, and he and Sam had started an off-campus comics anthology called Tuna Casserole. By the fifth issue I became co-editor and we founded the first incarnation of my company Wow Cool. I ended up becoming an illustrator instead of a cartoonist, and did that freelance on and off up until about a decade ago.
Brandon Graham & Emily Carroll take on 'Betty & Veronica'
Or, "Betty & Veronica & Brandon & Emily."
Cartoonist Brandon Graham is well known for thinking about the mechanics of comics. Recently, he and fellow cartoonist Emily Carroll went about examining a throw-off five-page Betty & Veronica comic be redoing it in their own styles. The results? Marvelous.
Here's the first page from each. If you're enticed, click over to Graham's blog post containing both full comics as well as the original Betty & Veronica comic they are based on.

Food or Comics? | Nutella or Nemo
Welcome to the very last Food or Comics. Next week our new-release picks will take a different format, but this week we're still talking about what comics we'd buy at our local shop based on certain spending limits — $15 and $30 — as well as what we'd get if we had extra money or a gift card to spend on a splurge item.
Check out Diamond's release list or ComicList, and tell us what you're getting in our comments field.

Let's be honest, if I had $15, I'd make sure that Batman Incorporated #8 (DC Comics, $2.99) was first on my list. Not because of any controversy — I've been enjoying the series all along — but because I'd be worried it'd sell out if I waited. I'd also grab two Dynamite books: Jennifer Blood #23 and Masks #4 (both $3.99); Al Ewing has done just insane, amazing things on the former, and the Chris Roberson/Dennis Calero team on the latter is just killing it.
If I had $30, I'd find myself time traveling to all the weeks prior in which I didn't use all $30 to borrow a dollar from past-me, just so that I could get Showcase Presents Justice League of America, Vol. 6 (DC Comics, $19.99), which takes the series firmly into the 1970s and brings the team face to face with villains including the Shaggy Man, Amazo and countless other favorites of my childhood.
Should I have some splurging left in me after that nostalgia-fest, I'd likely go for the Judge Anderson: PSI Files, Vol. 3 collection (Rebellion, $32.99), which picks the series up just after I'd dropped off the 2000AD radar for awhile, and hopefully gives me the chance to get back into the character, now that I am firmly into Thrill Power again.

Graeme McMillan
It's a busy week at the store for me, it seems. If I had $15 this week, I'd pick up Harbinger #0 (Valiant, $3.99), the one-shot revealing the backstory of the surprisingly compelling relaunch/reboot of the 1990s series, as well as the first issues of Fearless Defenders (Marvel, $2.99) and Snapshot (Image, $2.99). The latter, I've already read in its Judge Dredd Megazine serialization, but I'm really curious to see if it reads differently in longer chapters; the former, I'm just hopeful for, given the high concept and involvement of Cullen Bunn.
If I had $30, I'd add the reissued 7 Miles A Second HC (Fantagraphics, $19.99) to my pile. I remember reading the original Vertigo version of this in the 1990s, and am definitely curious to see what this recolored edition, with pages restored after being cut from the Vertigo edition, is like.
Splurging, I find myself drawn to IDW's Doctor Who Omnibus, Vol. 1 ($29.99). I blame the lack of new Doctor Who on the television right now. That month-and-a-bit is far too long to wait …!
Comics A.M. | Rob Liefeld is a 'Doer'; critic Les Coleman passes away
Creators | For Slate's "Doers" feature — "People who accomplish great things, and how they do it" — David Wiegel spotlights Rob Liefeld's decision to revive his Extreme Studios line by handing over the properties to creators like Brandon Graham, Joe Keatinge and Tim Seeley. Acknowledging his critics prefer these new versions of Glory, Prophet and Bloodstrike to his originals, Liefeld tells the website, ""The internet snark has zero effect on me. I was there 20 years ago, I'm out there on the convention circuit, I experience the real and tangible enthusiasm for me and my work. You can't rewrite the history books, you can't eliminate the impact of my work and my characters. [...] Rob Liefeld is to today as Michael Jackson and Michael Jordan are to my kids." [Slate.com]

If I had $15, I'd start the new year off right with Invincible #99 (Image, $2.99). The build-up (or teardown?) to Issue 100 has been great, and honestly I never quite trusted Dinosaurus to begin with so I'm glad to see this finally boil over. I'm all ears – and eyes – for this and the next issue. Next up I'd get another Image joint, Prophet #32 (Image, $3.99). Kudos to Brandon Graham for being confident in himself enough – and choosy enough in his collaborators – that he's stepping back and letting artist Simon Roy write and draw a one-off issue. And the story of a Prophet clone gone native sounds mighty enticing. Third in this week's haul would be Punk Rock Jesus #6 (DC/Vertigo, $2.99). I feel a slight bit of remorse at how fast this series has gone – it seemed like a whole lot of introduction, a brief second act and now we're being pushed into the finale. Still, one of the best series of 2012 (with this finale sneaking out two days after 2012). Finally, I'd get James Stokoe's Godzilla: Half-Century War #4 (IDW, $3.99). I've become big fans of Ota and Kentaro here, and Stokoe has really populated this world with all kinds of special and grotesque. Excited to see what comes up here!
If I had $30, I'd continue my mad dash through my local comic shop with two Marvel picks: All New X-Men #5 (Marvel, $3.99) and New Avengers #1 (Marvel, $3.99). All-New X-Men has been surprisingly refreshing for me; I always love Stuart Immonen's, but what's startled me is how fresh and unencumbered Brian Bendis seems here with the writing. On the New Avengers #1 tip, I liked Hickman's other Avengers work so far but I'm even more interested in how artist Steve Epting draws this unique cast. Plus, I loved Epting's first run on Avengers – leather jackets, people! Next up I'd return to Image and get Glory #31 (Image, $3.99). This is going to be a great collection when the whole thing is done, but right now we're knee-deep in the series itself as Glory faces off with her sister Silverfall. Hey Rob Liefeld – this Silverfall character could be something special for more after this series ends! And finally, I'd get Manhattan Projects #8 (Image, $3.50) and anxiously await the big reveal of the secret powerbrokers in the MP universe. I can't wait for Hickman to blow my mind.
If I could splurge, I'd buy the back-to-back first and second volume of Chimpanzee Complex (#13.95 each, Cinebook). Coming to America with no press at all, I found this in Previews a while back and have been excited by its potential: a Franco-Belgian comic that reveals the astronauts who returned from the moon in 1969 were doppelgangers, and the fallout from that discovery. 2010 meets Orbiter. Bring it on.

Spliced is a Canadian animated television series produced by Teletoon and Nelvana. The series made its world premiere on Jetix in Latin America on April 20, 2009.[1] The series has aired in Canada on Teletoon,[2] in the United States on qubo, in Australia on ABC3,[3][4] in the United Kingdom on Nicktoons, in Latin America on Disney XD, and in Sweden on Nickelodeon. The series began airing in the United States on qubo on September 19, 2009 until the network dropped it from its lineup on October 24, 2009[5] but returned on September 28, 2010 as part of its "Night Owl" block[6] and was discontinued on March 31, 2012. Beginning early in 2014, YTV began airing reruns on weekdays. In 2014, the series was added onto the "Always On" digital platform of Cartoon Network in the United States.
Spliced is a modern take of 1896 science-fiction fantasy, The Island of Doctor Moreau, by H. G. Wells.[7] Spliced marginally distorts Well's characters in this modern twist by making the mutants the result of genetic experiments created by recombinant DNA rather than Well's original vivisection process. As with the original story, these experimental results, plus one platypus not in the original story, live on an isolated tropical island that is called "Keep Away Island" in the cartoon. The mad scientist who created them was arrested and removed by authorities via boat. Left to their own devices, these mutated beasts form a functional society.
Peri (short for failed exPERIment number 13) is a mutant of indeterminate species and purpose. In the episode where Peri happens upon the lab notes concerning his creation, Entree ends up using the pages as toilet paper before Smarty-Smarts can actually read them to determine Peri's purpose. Peri lives in a plane that crashed on the island. Peri is an expert bowler, and he and his best friend Entree developed their trademark game, "bucket-stick-fruit-ball." Peri is voiced by Rob Stefaniuk.
Entrée (named in reference to the main course of a meal) is Peri's best friend. Entrèe was created as the perfect food animal, being part cow with his udder, a pig body, equipped with chicken wings and a shrimp tail.[8] Entree is the perfect fast-food on the "teats," since he has no legs. Entree "walks" on his teats, named Nugget, Pokey, Cranky, Commador Uddersworth, Tina, A.J., Nippocles, and an unnamed eighth whom Entrèe darkly claims speaking its name "will give it power." Entree's teats are capable of time travel and excellent light show effects. Entree was created as the tastiest treat that can be eaten.. His home is a giant pizza oven and his bed is a barbecue grill. Entrèe is evil, in the sense of always seeking instant self-gratification, no matter the cost. Much of the time Entree's selfishness ends up causing more destruction than Mr. Smarty Smarts intentional evil. Entree is a pig, and loves to gorge down any food, even things that are not food, but especially mayonnaise. Entrée is voiced by Joe Pingue.
Two-Legs Joe and Lord Wingus Eternum[edit]
Two-legs Joe is a two-legged rhinoceros out of whose high and pointy upper hindquarters a mostly silent bird character named Lord Wingus Eternum grows.[8] Two-Legs Joe is the mayor of the town this society of mutants inhabits, which to his great frustration is constantly being wrecked, burned, and blown-up by the innocent yet highly destructive childlike behavior of Peri and Entree, especially when they play in the doctor's abandoned laboratory. Joe's thing, since he has a rhino's weight upon two massive legs, is stomping. Joe loves to stomp, and he loves to stomp Peri and Entree, and especially Entree, after they destroy his town. Wingus, perched on the high point of Joe's back end, is of the species that was the Doctor's "first, and also his best, creation," according to Wingus. It turns out that Two-Legs Joe is actually a mutant growth on Wingus' leg. Such are the hazards of messing with DNA. Two-legs Joe is voiced by Pat McKenna, and Wingus is voiced by Tom McCamus.
Patricia is a platypus that happened to live on Keep Away Island when the Doctor set up shop.[8] She feels very lonely on Keep Away Island being the only creature that is not spliced. She is an author and has been shown writing a book of poetry as well as the novel: "Marzipan Meadows and the Kingdom of Adventure". She is a master of the martial art "Plat Kwon Do". Patricia is voiced by Katie Crown.
Princess Pony Apehands[edit]
Princess Pony Apehands has the head and tail of a pony onto the body of a gorilla.[8] She is one of the more aggressive mutants, but because she has the mental capacity of a very young girl, she doesn't quite understand how big and strong she is and often hurts others when she is simply trying to play with them or give them a hug. She also has a rather short temper, and will intentionally hurt any mutant who angers her. Her tree house is located deep in the forest and is completely pink inside, and she herself is colored pink and purple. She wears a ballet tutu and slippers and enjoys very girly things. Although she's a girl, her voice is quite masculine and deep. Princess Pony Apehands is voiced by Kedar Brown.
Compuhorse is a horse with a computer implanted. He has very limited animation, for example: He cannot move his lips but speaks similarly to Stephen Hawking, with a synthesized voice through his keyboard. His best friend is Calcupony and his rival is AlphaDonkey. Compuhorse is voiced by Pat McKenna. In the virtual game "Cube Whacker" he's known as OmegaSteed. OmegaSteed is voiced by Mark Dailey.
Fuzzy Snuggums[edit]
Fuzzy is a small explorer seeking adventure beyond the island but always fails. He often begins talking with the phrase "Expedition note...". Long ago, Fuzzy was chosen by the doctor to combat against robots of another scientist from another island, but could not be stopped and was later reassigned for exploration. At that time, his opening sentence was "Execution note..." (demonstrated in the episode "Sgt Snuggums"). The Doctor made him indestructible, which is fortunate, considering his exploration attempts usually backfire upon him painfully. Though usually small and cute, Fuzzy's true form personality, which can resurface under extreme circumstances, is that of a giant, musclebound brawler. It was revealed by Lord Wingus in the episode "Stompabout", that were Joe to never get angry again, Fuzzy would rule the island, enslaving all of its occupants. Fuzzy is voiced by Julie Lemieux.
Mister Smarty Smarts[edit]
Mister Smarty Smarts is a dolphin, chimpanzee and a Jack Russell Terrier with a well-developed primate brain,[8] who attempts to take over the island. He resides in a lair which is located on a slope of the volcano. He is quite egotistical, believing the rest of the island inhabitants to be fools. He also has some cross-dressing tendencies, often looking for an excuse to wear a dress. Mister Smarty Smarts is voiced by Mike Kiss.
Octocat is a combination of a cat and an octopus, who is Mister Smarty Smarts' assistant/minion (although it is shown that they share a romantic relationship of some sort), whom she met after they both crashed their cars together. Unlike the other mutants, she cannot talk, conversing solely in meows, but the others are still able to understand her. Like Fuzzy, she too was created to be a super-soldier, and can also assume a musclebound fighting form. Octocat is voiced by Katie Crown.
Censorship and rating[edit]
In the US, the series was originally rated TV-Y7-FV, but after it returned on September 28, 2010, it was now rated TV-PG, due to its extreme gross humor and scariness. In Canada, it is rated G, which is a family friendly rating, but sometimes contains violence and crude language, which makes its rating a PG.
Episode list[edit]
Spliced has aired on a number of channels around the world.

Democratic Senator Manchin opposes military strikes against Syria
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. Democratic Senator Joe Manchin of West Virginia on Thursday opposed a White House-backed resolution that would provide congressional authorization of U.S. military strikes against Syria.
"A military strike against Syria at this time is the wrong course of action," Manchin said in a statement. "We must exhaust all diplomatic options and have a comprehensive plan for international involvement before we act."
With the vote likely to be close in the Senate, the decision of each member of the chamber was being closed watched.

It's been abandoned since Katrina. This was shot in 2010, but every year they strip out more of the things that make it so cool and creepy. The site has recently been approved for an outlet mall. I wish I could see it before it gets demolished…
These images are absolutely beautiful, yet haunting.
I'm fascinated how so many incredible structures can be left, abandoned to decay all over the world. So many stories.
These are only a few of my favourites, here's a link to the rest; [x]

Insurers like WellPoint and Aetna are offering patients the option of e-visits with doctors as a way to cut costs, but some see problems with that, reports Bloomberg. Other media outlets explore the controversy over Sovaldi, an expensive new drug for hepatitis C.
Bloomberg: More Docs Are A Click Away, But Some Say It's Not A Healthy Trend
Health insurers want you to see the doctor, just not in an office or hospital. To cut medical costs and diagnose minor ailments, WellPoint and Aetna, among other health insurers, are letting millions of patients get seen online first. In a major expansion of telemedicine, WellPoint this month started offering 4 million patients the ability to have e-visits with doctors, while Aetna says it will boost online access to 8 million people next year from 3 million now. The insurers are joining with companies such as Teladoc, MDLive and American Well that offer virtual visits with doctors who, in some states, can prescribe drugs for anything from sinus infections to back pain (French, 7/14).
The Washington Post's Wonkblog: How do You Pay For A Drug That Costs $84,000?
There's a new $84,000 treatment for hepatitis C that's giving new hope to patients. But it's also giving a health-care system strained by limited resources a strong reality check. Since Gilead Sciences unveiled Sovaldi more than six months ago, its $84,000 price tag has ignited a conversation in the health policy world about how to make life-saving medicines more affordable without hurting drugmakers' incentives to develop the treatments in the first place (Millman, 7/15).
The Hill: 4 in 5 Say $1,000-a-Pill Drug Cost 'Unacceptable'
Eighty-two percent in a new poll say the cost of a $1,000-a-pill medicine which has sparked congressional scrutiny is "unacceptable" and expressed concerns the specialty drug could harm innovation in the pharmaceutical industry. In the survey by the Morning Consult released Tuesday, only 18 percent agreed that the cost was "acceptable and what we have to pay for innovative, life saving drug treatments" (Al-Faruqe, 7/15).
Meanwhile, Walgreen weighs purchase of overseas chain -
The Wall Street Journal: Walgreen Weighs Riding Tax-Inversion Wave
Walgreen Co.'s first pharmacy opened 113 years ago inside a hotel on Chicago's South Side and this year, the chain will derive nearly all its sales and most of its profits from its 8,700 U.S. locations. But Walgreen is currently thinking about leaving American shores, as part a plan to buy the rest of Alliance Boots GmbH, which operates a U.K. drugstore chain and is based in Switzerland. The move could help Walgreen lower its U.S. tax bill saving the company hundreds of millions of dollars a year—money that wouldn't flow into the U.S. Treasury (Ziobro, 7/15).
And the Nemours Foundation settles lawsuits against insurers -
The Associated Press: Nemours Settles 2 United Health Lawsuits
The foundation that owns the Alfred I. du Pont Hospital for Children in Delaware and various pediatric practices in the region has settled lawsuits against two United Healthcare entities for unpaid bills. Federal court documents filed this week indicate that the Nemours Foundation has settled lawsuits against United Healthcare of the Mid-Atlantic and United Healthcare Community Plan of New Jersey. A third lawsuit against United Healthcare of Pennsylvania remains pending (7/15).

Ahhh! I finally got up at 5am to do my workout after failing everyday this week lol.
Maybe it was helpful that today was Cardio recovery….
While I didn't feel like my heart pounded with quite as much vigor, I definitely felt the lactic acid build up and burn throughout my body as I attempted to hold various yoga/pilate positions.
These types of exercises and stretching always make me feel so clumsy as I flail various body parts around, trying to find balance. The freakin' people on screen look like they do it with such finesse and flexibility as if it were so easy!! Siiiiigh…so not graceful @___@
Mmkay…off to shower and start my day. Hoping to finally get in that last minute Vegas shopping/errands after work today!!
After exercising yesterday, I had a hard time going to sleep. Usually, I'm grandma status and am in bed by 10pm-ish…or pretty sleepy if not KO-ed yet. I didn't sleep until midnight and could not for the life of me get up by 5am like I hoped.
I want to make it a habit to work out before work so as to get my day started and energized. Lol..but when I woke up this morning…I could barely get outta bed and felt sore in places I didn't know I could be. My thoughts…"how the eff did I work that part of my body out??" hahaha
So, after work today, I thought to myself…mall for last minute vegas shopping or go home and do day 2. I went with the latter because, knowing myself, I would be too tired by the time I get home.
So another day of getting my butt kicked haha..my heart was ready to jump outta my chest on multiple occasions. I look and see that month 2 requires the prefix max before every name, and I can't even imagine the level of intensity that awaits….
Anyway…tomorrow, I hope I make my 5am goal, so I can do my last min shopping after work. ANNND…I AM going to go to Hot Dog on a Stick and drink a lemonade and possibly eat a corndog :9 lol.
Because I'm friends with ya :)!
Been having a hard time trying to get my ish together…but slowly , one by one..I've decided to try and take charge of the things I CAN control..i.e. my own health and wellness!!
After the loss of my old Asics (farewell high school running shoes….put a lot of mileage on you back in the day)…I FINALLY bought a new pair of running/work out shoes. Nikes! They're pretty comfortable :D. Hoping to do some damage in these! I'm tired of living in the crumbling shell of my former active self (from long long agooooo gooo ooooo…lol). I'm sure high school Lara is embarrassed at the sight of me huffing and puffing after a flight of stairs lol. Sometimes it's hard for me to believe that we used to run at least 5 miles a day everyday so casually back in high school. No big deal. What happened!?!
So today…I started Insanity! Had my first fit test and already had me crawling on the ground D:. Did a short dance with Insanity last year when my sister was still up here for three weeks…but for some reason it seemed so much harder today! Maybe cause I didn't have my sister floored beside me in agony (lol miss ya sister <3) lol I'm hoping this time around I can followthrough. It seems more achievable/helpful with so many others around who are making such an effort and being so encouraging!
They say surround yourself with the people you want to become :]
So in the words of Shaun T….."let's….GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" lol

stay tuned for The Bird and the Beat: Songbirds of Hip Hop, Shred One's new mix dropping June 15th!!
World Premiere,"The Bird and The Beat" by DJ Shred One
Celebrating the Songbirds of Hip Hop
[ShredOne] x [RRS Feed Sound System] proudly present "The Bird and The Beat",
the anticipated release of the latest mix by LA/ SF/ CHI based DJ Shred One, a soul-experiential beat compilation of hip hop, r&b, and uptempo beats as an inspired homage to the female vocalist.
It is a story many women in music/ hip hop know too well. The female vocalist-musician too often found in the shadows casted by her male counterparts who stand center stage. Revered because the feminine presence often truly completes a song and her talents are lent in the selfless support of a male emcee, vocalist, producer. In The Bird and the Beat, DJ Shred One does right by these songbirds, collects their chorus, hooks and bridges to craft a satiating seamless blend for all mix tape aficionados and djs alike.
"The Bird and The Beat is a labor of love that was inspired by being a female dj, myself, in the sea of my male dj partners as well an intimate appreciation of the timeless sound of female vocals" Dj Shred One comments. "This mix is dedicated to those artists. It is my way of giving them their own musical moment in the sun."
The mix features a cast made up the original gangsta golden age pipes of Vinia Mojica, Tammy Lucas, Caron Wheeler along with new school soul slanging singers Carlitta Durand, Jhene Aiko with special feature of both new and classic producers Onra, Taebeast, Dibiase, Prince Paul, Pete Rock, the RZA and several other heavy hitters on the roster.
The Bird and The Beat drops June 15, 2011. Available for [download] at www.djshredone.com.

It was such a sunny yet refreshingly windy day.
Me and Lynae were at the Rock Bar in Koh Samui, Thailand. The bar is on top of a rock held together by wood selling more joints/spliffs than alcohol. We were biking for a long time on the open roads as well as the alley ways of Thai markets just to find this place. It was worth the trip.

I passed by this area while biking through the island. It has become my favorite little part of the island, whether its under the sun or clouds.
My only bit of shame is that the pictures do no justice to the scene.

When monetary policy needs to incorporate fiscal policy
I'm in Berlin this week, at the annual INET meetings, where the big theme this year seems to be an attempt to rope in everyone from anthropologists to neuroscientists in an attempt to solve the big economic problems which are proving intractable to economists. But still, it's the economics and finance folk who are top of the agenda. And since George Soros is footing a large part of the bill for this conference, he and his latest op-ed are getting star billing. Sadly, however, most of the delegates have been at the conference all day and therefore haven't had the opportunity to read Mohamed El-Erian's speech in St Louis, which is equally germane.
The two, in fact, complement each other quite nicely. El-Erian's main point is that central banks can't solve the crisis on their own; Soros has an intriguing idea which addresses that fact, and attempts to add some fiscal-policy bite to the operation of monetary policy.
The EU's fiscal charter compels member states annually to reduce their public debt by one-twentieth of the amount by which it exceeds 60% of GDP. I propose that member states jointly reward good behavior by taking over that obligation.
The member states have transferred their seignorage rights to the ECB, and the ECB is currently earning about €25 billion ($32.7 billion) annually. The seignorage rights have been estimated by Willem Buiter of Citibank and Huw Pill of Goldman Sachs, working independently, to be worth between €2-3 trillion, because they will yield more as the economy grows and interest rates return to normal. A Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) owning the rights could use the ECB to finance the cost of acquiring the bonds without violating Article 123 of the Lisbon Treaty.
Should a country violate the fiscal compact, it would wholly or partly forfeit its reward and be obliged to pay interest on the debt owned by the SPV. That would impose tough fiscal discipline, indeed.
None of this is easy, but the big-picture idea is a good one, which is to tie monetary policy much closer to fiscal policy, so that fiscal policymakers are no longer capable of leaving all the dirty work to central bankers. In this case, if I understand him correctly, Soros is suggesting that the ECB buy up a large chunk of national sovereign debt every year. If any given country is following the EU's fiscal-compact rules, then the interest on its debt gets rebated to the country; if it isn't, then the ECB keeps the interest payments for itself.
If you look at what's happened since the crisis of 2008, elected policymakers have generally turned to central banks and said "hey, we're bound by all manner of real and imagined constraints, so please can you do what's necessary in the short term, since we can't." This was quite explicit at the height of the crisis, when Hank Paulson felt quite comfortable telling Ben Bernanke what he needed to do. And then, of course, a couple of months later, Barack Obama appointed Tim Geithner, the country's second most important central banker, as his Treasury secretary. The effect was to ensure that the central bank would always act in line with what the government wanted — and indeed that is exactly what has happened.
But that course of action has unintended consequences. For one thing, it makes the central bank politically unpopular. And for another, it tends to increase imbalances, including income and wealth inequalities, rather than decrease them. The way that El-Erian sees it, monetary policy during a crisis is like a bridge loan: it's a short-term way of plastering over the gap, while a longer-term fiscal solution is put together. But if that longer-term fiscal solution isn't put together, then the world's central banks will just have built a "bridge to nowhere", and ultimately made things worse rather than better.
El-Erian gives the world's central banks an either-or choice: if they don't manage to build a world where they're rowing with the fiscal-policy tide, they'll end up finding themselves "having to clean up in the midst of a global recession, forced de-leveraging and disorderly debt deflation".
I'm not entirely sure I buy all of the analysis here. Central banks' policies during the financial crisis were necessary, whether or not fiscal authorities end up doing their bit. While a future fiscal recession would be bad, it's not at all obvious that we would have been better off just letting the world fall off a cliff at the end of 2008.
But it's certainly true that central banks aren't in full-on crisis mode right now. The problems they face — none greater than unemployment, in both its long-term and its youth flavors — are not the kind of things which happen suddenly and need to be addressed with massive and instantaneous liquidity programs. Indeed, they're the kind of things which really ought to be addressed with fiscal policy. Monetary policy is a blunt tool, and, as El-Erian says, central banks can't engineer "good inflation", in things like house prices, without "bad inflation", in things like oil prices.
And so long as central banks continue to push their zero-rate policies alongside unorthodox measures like LTRO and QE, politicians will find the pressure on themselves being lifted, even as the central banks get most of the market attention. As Ryan McCarthy says, the CNBC types are much more obsessed with the Fed than they are with Treasury: fiscal policy simply isn't seen as economically important in the way that monetary policy is. Not even in an election year.
El-Erian's main point is a pretty subtle one: bimodal dynamics mean that that we're now moving towards a topsy-turvy world where good policy can be bad policy. "A good portion of policy making" he says, "and important underpinnings of conventional portfolio management, are based on a traditional bell curve governing the distribution of expected outcomes." What that means is that if the central bank makes things better, that's all good.
In a world where the outcome distribution is not a bell curve, however, the right action for a central bank is not nearly as clear-cut. Think of a bimodal distribution with two peaks: a bad one on the left, and a good one on the right. In that world, loose monetary policy will, at the margin, push the outcome to the right: it will make a good outcome better, and a bad outcome less bad. El-Erian's point is this: what if, at the same time, by taking pressure off politicians, that kind of monetary policy makes a good outcome less likely, and a bad outcome more likely? If loose monetary policy pushes both peaks a little to the right, but at the same time makes the left-hand peak significantly larger than the right-hand peak, it can still be a very bad idea.
It's an intriguing idea — but it's also one which is pretty much impossible to model. And yet, the message of INET, or at least one of them, is that economists should be doing exactly that. Central bankers don't like to try to anticipate the effect that their actions will have on politicians. But if they don't, the politicians won't play ball. And if the politicians won't play ball, there's nothing the central bankers can do on their own to avert a major fiscal crisis.

'"good inflation", in things like house prices'
Ummm….not sure I would agree with that one Felix.
@StillJaded – "good inflation" is the kind that policy-makers rely on to paper-over their prior mistakes. The futile, dogmatic attempt to create it just might be the financial death of us all.
It is interesting to read economists saying that monitary policy isnt enough, and that fiscal policy is also important. But it would help if you gave an example of what you mean by the 'right' fiscal policy. Do you mean more austerity, or investment in education, infrastucture, or a balance of both, or do you mean structural changes like helping to change the way we generate and use energy, and sustainability in general? None of this was clear in this article.
@StillJaded, I agree that inflation of house prices is bad. However deflation of house prices is worse! Some support to soften the degree of deflation is appropriate.
That said, house prices are driven by mortgage rates as much as by any other single factor except incomes. By keeping mortgage rates artificially low, the Fed is already supporting house prices — with presumably less effect on oil and other cash-traded commodities. Very few things are leveraged to the degree that housing is.
@Twundit, I get the impression that most economists don't think it matters whether we spend money building roads, improving our secondary education, or digging holes and filling them in again.

For the fifth year in a row, the College of the Holy Cross is a top contributor to Teach For America, a nonprofit organization that sends graduating seniors into urban and rural classrooms across the nation. With 14 members of the class of 2013 having recently joined the program, the College ranks fifth among small colleges and universities.
Founded in 1990, Teach For America is a corps of outstanding students who pledge to teach for two years in under-resourced schools with the hopes that they will become leaders of educational equality in the future. This year, the corps is comprised of a record-breaking 10,000 members teaching in 46 urban and rural areas nationwide.
Admission to Teach For America is highly selective, as the organization recruits on more than 600 campuses, seeking student leaders from diverse academic, racial, and economic backgrounds.
According to Amy Murphy, director of the College's Career Planning Center, Teach for America is once again the leading employer for recent Holy Cross graduates.
"At Holy Cross, our students are challenged to identify where their gifts, talents and passions can be in service to others," said Murphy. "So many of our students want to be agents for change in their communities, in our country and in the world. Teaching in our country's most under-resourced schools and educating our nation's most at-risk students is one way in which our students can be those agents for positive change."
In Teach For America's history of 22 years, more than 150 Holy Cross alumni have joined the corps.

We run pillar to post working two or three jobs (in some cases), we manage the household and everything that comes with a family, we study to better ourselves, give a helping hand with community organisations, friends and family......we give so much of our essence that we just have NO TIME for ourselves. This leaves us depleted, lacking vitality, depressed and overwhelmed. To stay this way for too long our health becomes challenged and we start to look for a change. Cinergee is that change.....everything we do is to help you reconnect with your inner Goddess and find inner peace.

C-17 Engine Wash Helps To Improve Reliability
Pratt & Whitney's EcoPower engine wash for the F117 turbofan is helping the worldwide C-17 fleet achieve an 85-percent mission-capable rate, despite the aircraft routinely operating in harsh conditions. EcoPower reduces fuel burn by 1.2 percent, as well as carbon dioxide emissions and exhaust gas temperature.
EcoPower is one element of a performance-based maintenance program. Under Pratt & Whitney's fleet maintenance, on-wing time for the F117 has increased by more than 185 percent over the last decade, and the continued good health of the fleet remains a top priority for the company.
Meanwhile, P&W continues to produce F117 engines for the C-17, and has recently delivered the engines for the first of two aircraft for Qatar. As it stands, the final contracted C-17 is due to be rolled out in the late summer of 2010. However, Boeing has funded 15 more to satisfy expected demand. U.S. Congress has requested a further eight machines, while Qatar has an option for two more, which is likely to be taken up. Earlier this year the United Arab Emirates announced it would buy four, and final negotiations now under way.

Totally Free, Complete Curriculum on the Internet
- Saturday, September 29, 2001
Most home-schooling families have the time to select carefully the curriculum materials they will use. Some families choose materials from a wide variety of publishers and sources, while others select a complete curriculum package from home-school suppliers like Sonlight, Calvert School, Alpha Omega Publications, KONOS, and home-school curriculum suppliers. A few families choose to use correspondence or distance learning programs for elementary and high school developed by major colleges and universities, or video projects like A Bekas Video Home School.
However, sometimes a family needs a complete curriculum almost immediately, and they do not have either the time to leisurely review available curricula, or the money to buy one. What are some of the reasons this might happen?
1. A family may need to homeschool on an emergency basis. A situation at school may be untenable. Reasons can range from such widely disparate types of incidents as bullying, severe allergies to something in the school environment, an inappropriate curriculum that cannot be changed, or a complete disrespect for a childs religious beliefs. In some cases, it is imperative to remove the child from school and begin home schooling as soon as possible, and a curriculum may literally be needed overnight.
2. Previously selected home-schooling curriculum may not be working at all with a particular child. A family needs to make an immediate change, but does not have the money to purchase new curricula at the present time.
3. Due to a job change or military activation, a family is suddenly transferred to a new location. Although the children may have been attending public or private school in their old hometown, either no appropriate school placement exists in the new area or there isnt time to make an adequate choice, and the family decides to home school instead.
4. A local or national emergency makes it impossible for a child enrolled in public or private school to attend school for a period of time.
5. A family needs more time to review possible curricula to purchase. However, they must have something to use in the meantime until a proper review and purchase of curriculum can take place.
6. In just two or three months, an academically advanced home-schooled child completes the years curriculum his parents have purchased in just two or three months. The family needs to obtain additional materials, but does not yet have the money, or needs extra time to locate appropriate materials.

What are we Singing: Let it Rise
- Saturday, May 30, 2009
Those who were speaking to Jesus had flagrantly disregarded their own history and their personal sins against God. Before the conversation was over the people were protesting against illegitimate birth and Jesus was declaring a most important line about himself.
"...before Abraham was born, i am!"
I Am …
It surely reverberated within them. "i am," God had said to Moses on that holy mountain. "I am … everything. All you need. All you will ever need. I am that I am."
There's freedom in understanding that, isn't there? In knowing it? In declaring it?
In holding it close to our hearts and allowing it to guide our lives?
Glory, songs, and the Spirit of the Lord. Praises, joy, and the freedom of the King.
Let it rise!
is the award-winning co-author of reflections of god's holy land; a personal journey through israel. Her latest release is with Baker/Revell, a southern novel, things left unspoken.

Post Release Supervision
New York has abandoned the parole system for persons who have been released from prison and has replaced it with what Post Release Supervision (PRS). Post Release Supervision was created to "do away" with the parole system in response to complaints about indeterminate sentencing. In sum, parole boards were deciding the true length of sentences as opposed to judges who actually imposed the sentence. For example, a convicted defendant who was serving a two to four (2-4) was eligible for parole after two years but the parole board determined whether that person would be released. So two people having the exact same record, sentenced to the exact same amount of time may wind up with widely varying sentences depending on who sat on their parole board. The PRS system instead allows sentencing judges greater control over sentencing by creating determinate sentences (i.e. two years, three years or four years) and allowing judges to give definitive times for PRS (the amount of time one spends under supervision when they are released from custody) based on the particular offense and offender.
It is essential to find attorneys who not only understand the sentencing and PRS systems, but who also know how to navigate the plea bargaining system and understand the minds of judges and prosecutors to earn for their clients the least amount of prison or Post Release Supervision time.
At Cohen & Forman, our attorneys have been working with people on Post Release Supervision since its inception. Call us for a consultation today.
