What specifically is in that health care bill again?
I'm a fool and so are all my Dem friends. We are intellectually bankrupt at this point; thank God the Republicans will be sweeping us away!
I for one can't WAIT to see what the Repubs are in FAVOR of- They have NO'd us to death ever since President Obama took office- I imagine it will be YES to anything their CEO cronies want, and more NO to the needs of the poor middle class Americans- Careful guys, you're term may be a short one also.- WE need help down here in the trenches- you have a lot to make up for,, ie stalling adequate health care, job production, road and bridge repair, ad nauseun. Because of your No attitude, you will have a lot to meke up for.
re; ask nance; Who the hell knows? The GOP ripped it apart, chewed it up and SPAT it out at us. Ask your state representative.
Where were the specifics in 2008, other than false vague words until the democrabs were elected so they could fleece everyone.
Note to republicans, skip the specifics and give the dems a dose of their own medicine with attacks on their voting records, which of course they'll claim is personal. What a bunch of babies.
The "fleecing" had already occurred prior to President Obamas election-and we're damn lucky"babies" , I that we survived it! Babies?? I am embarrassed by the continuous whining pouring forth from the Republican Party since day !. Can't play well together.
"Van Hollen said that Democrats also plan to highlight 60,000 contracts and awards under the 2009 stimulus package that he said would be nixed if a Republican House majority pushed to end all stimulus programs. "This would be very bad for [the Democratic patronage system] in the short term," Van Hollen said.
@ Chiefster 3:54 pm -
Alternative energy investments was a specific, allowing upper-bracket tax cuts to expire was a specific, healthcare reform was a specific, rapprochement with the Muslim world was a specific, ending the Iraq war and focusing resources on Afghanistan was a specific, financial reform was a specific, educational innovation was a specific, an arms treaty with Russia was a specific, increased resources for veterans, particularly mental health, was a specific…
Mike says:
"WE need help down here in the trenches- you have a lot to make up for,, ie stalling adequate health care, job production, road and bridge repair, ad nauseun."
I want my free stuff from the government to keep on flowing. As long as it's free from the government I don't care how much money they print.
gldblessusa "Alternative energy investments was a specific, .…"
Here is a list of everything Dems in the House and Senate don't want to talk about while campaigning because they screwed everything up so much.
Doesn't Chris Van Hollen look like the biggest sissy boy? He should have a latex mask over his head and wearing a diaper.
From an earlier post: "I for one can't WAIT to see what the Repubs are in FAVOR of- They have NO'd us to death ever since President Obama took office- I imagine it will be YES to anything their CEO cronies want, and more NO to the needs of the poor middle class Americans- Careful guys, you're term may be a short one also.- WE need help down here in the trenches- you have a lot to make up for,, ie stalling adequate health care, job production, road and bridge repair, ad nauseun. Because of your No attitude, you will have a lot to meke up for."
Didn't ALL of these things get passed, even with Republicans voting NO???? So how can you blame the Republicans that things still suck when their "No" votes didn't stop one single piece of legislation (except cap and trade which was stymied by Democrat votes, not Republican???) Typical stupid liberal logic. Blame the minority party who don't have the votes to stop anything for lousy policies that predictably fail.
Doesn't Chris Van Hollen look like the biggest sissy boy?
The GOP will have to explain what they are about besides cutting taxes and fighting against "big governement". That is not a program for putting people back to work. It is easy to say no to everything and not come up with any ideas on how to solve problems that they created in the first place.
These "Young Guns" are like frat boys ready to party all night after they take both houses of Congress (god forbid). The only problem is the entire nation is going to wake up the next day with a majoy hang over.
Very strange and irrelevant comments Jack.
Can you outline what you would like the republicans to do if they get a majority?
Had the media done any work in the 2008 campaign regarding specifics of BHO's background and ideas…rather than chanting "hope and change" we would not be in this mess. In addition, the Media does not challenge BHO when he says all the republican ideas have been tried before. Everything BHO and the Dem's are doing has been tried and failed before.
@ The interpreter 4:58 pm -
I think the Dems SHOULD be talking about it and, by election day, we will have heard a lot about it.
The Repubs don't need to talk specifics because their entire economic agenda consists of tax cuts and de-regulation, followed by tax cuts and de-regulation and, when that fails, more tax cuts and de-regulation. Their plan for dealing with the systemic, long-term deficits that they created could fit on a 3×5 card.
All the lefties whining away. What would they all do to increase hiring if they ran companies. Of course that's hypothetical isn't it. Dems like plans to spend other peoples money, never their own. When their plans fail miserably, they can and do always claim that they didn't spend enough.
We have had 4 years of Democrats in charge of Congress. Imagine what would happen to a CEO hired to do a turnaround and 4 years later, the company was in twice as bad a shape as when he walked in. Imagine that during his tenure, he lost trillions.
This is the threshold, this is the performance that the Republicans have to beat:
1,424,851 bankruptcies YTD
976,840 foreclosures YTD
110 banks shut down YTD
Debt as a % of GDP has gone from 65.6% in 2007 to 98.1% in 2010 and estimated to be 101% this year.
The deficit was at $162.8 billion in the fiscal year that ended September 30, 2007. Today we're at $1.363 trillion after 4 years of Democrats putting together budgets.
I won't even mention the health insurance debacle.
The Republicans don't have to campaign against the Democrats, that's a no brainer. It's the fiscal conservatives that are the real fight.
classic republican strategy: snatch defeat from the jaws of victory…..
Republic Plan: vague and rhetorical; attack deficit as a problem created by the Democrats, then cut taxes and increase the deficit.
Not only would specification of the GOP plan enable the Dims to criticize it, they would try to emulate it. And, it would give RINOs cover to stay in office. The GOP strategists need to keep their mouths shut until after the election..
The GOP does not have a strategy or useful ideas. We have been waiting for a coherent program for a long time. They have nothing to offer other than lies and fear.
Washington Republicans are finally getting around to releasing an agenda for this Congress," said Doug Thornell, spokesman for Democratic campaign chief Chris Van Hollen of Maryland. "What's shocking is that it took them more than 20 months to repackage a plan that's no different from the one that caused the Great Bush Recession. Massive tax cuts for the rich paid for by the middle class, adding trillions to the deficit, putting special interests back in charge and attempting to privatize Social Security and dismantle Medicare. We have seen this movie before, and the American people walked out on it; we don't need a sequel."
In fact, Democrats are already gearing up for a week of pushback on the agenda. They are planning to pound Republicans daily on how they view the GOP agenda — privatizing Social Security, outsourcing jobs, putting insurance companies in control of health care, exploding the deficit and repealing Wall Street reform. They're calling it the "Real Republican Agenda," which they believe "is focused on fighting against the middle class and job creation," a Democratic leadership aide said.
Conservatives, meanwhile, are going to be completely happy with the product that emerges Thursday. Pence, the third-ranking House Republican, has encountered significant head winds as he's pushed for the party's social conservatism to be reflected in the agenda, but so far there's no indication that the document that will be revealed Thursday will touch on any of the culture-war issues important to the religious right.

I have a problem lying to and misleading children. I try not to intentionally do it to my own children, even when it comes to things like death. After seeing a recent viral video of someone doing just that, my thoughts on this issue have only solidified.
This past father's day, the mother above (Gayle Valentine) took her son to his father's graveside to leave a card on Father's Day. I don't particularly have an issue with this as it was probably therapeutic for the both of them. I've performed this particular ritual myself, although after I realized I was doing it for me and not for the person who had died, I stopped (not that I'm criticizing others who do it). Anyway, after the boy had placed his card among some other trinkets, he found a letter addressed to him among them. While reading the letter, he realized that it was from his father, who was supposed to be dead and rotting in the ground below, basically telling him to be good.
And so comes my objection to this whole thing.
While I realize this woman was only trying to do something nice for her son, I have to wonder what negative connotations might manifest later. I've written about child indoctrination before, and even though the letter was innocent, I think it sends a message to the boy which is that the dead can communicate with us here on Earth.
Right now he's eight, so it might not be something that will affect him too much, but what happens when he expects his father to try and communicate with him again? Will his mother explain that his father isn't able to communicate again or will she keep on writing letters for her son to "find"? Either way, this is a problem. If this isn't something that's addressed now, so-called psychics will see this kid coming from a mile away.
Hopefully she'll come clean about her deception. At least that way, they can get the lie out of the way and focus on actually grieving instead of putting it off by getting fake letters from heaven.

Tom Lennox, of Decatur, was struck from behind by Brian Duff's squad car as he was putting a mattress into the back of a pickup truck, driven by friend Lloyd Dial. Lennox was pinned between the front end of the squad car and the rear end of the pickup truck until emergency crews arrived to pry him out.
Police reports say that Dial had pulled over to the side of the road in the 2700 block of N. Jasper Street and put his hazard lights on before Lennox got out of the car.
After a lengthy trial, the County paid Lennox and his family a $7.6 million settlement for his injuries sustained in the accident. After the accident Duff was put on indefinite leave before he was eventually let go from the department.
Duff reached a plea deal for the pair of traffic offenses that included aggravated reckless driving.

Juan Carlos Galeano was born in the Amazon region of Colombia. He is the author of Baraja Inicial (poetry, 1986), Pollen and Rifles (1997) a book on the poetry of violence, and Amazonia (poetry, 2003), Sobre las cosas (poetry, 2010), and Amazonia y otros poemas (poetry, 2011), and Historias del viento (poetry, 2013). He teaches Latin American poetry and cultures of the Amazon basin at Florida State University.

Tallahassee, Florida 32306-1540
Tel: 850.644.3728 Fax: 850.644.0524
Poems from Amazonia (2003) have been published in magazines and journals such as The Atlantic Monthly, Ploughshares, Partisan Review, Review: Literature and Arts of the Americas, Field, Casa de las Américas, and Indiana Review, among others. His poems and folktales have also appeared in college textbooks, collections and in international anthologies such as A poesía se encontra na floresta (2000), Literary Amazonia (2004), The Poetry of Men's Lives: An International Anthology (2004), The Encyclopedia of Religion and Nature (2005), Colombia en la poesía colombiana (2010), Jinetes del aire (2011), Abuelas hispanas: desde la memoria y el recuerdo (2012), and The Ecopoetry Anthology, (2013).
Juan Carlos Galeano's Amazonia is both a poetic sequence and an amazing story… Rarely have the lyric and the narrative, reality and imagination, history and myth, combined so succesfully to make such an original, complex and, at the same time, immensely readable and spellbinding literary work."
Charles Simic
His poetry, inspired by Amazonian cosmologies and the modern world, has been published internationally and translated into French, English, Portuguese, and German. It has been anthologized in a CD-ROM titled Poesía Colombiana (four centuries of Colombian poetry) produced by Casa Silva in Colombia, and in several anthologies in Latin America.
His research on Amazonian culture has appeared in his collection of folktales Cuentos amazónicos (2007), Folktales of the Amazon (2009), as well as in the film he co-directed and co-produced, The Trees Have a Mother (2008).
He also has published book-length translations of American poets in Latin America and translated Latin American poets for American journals.

Advice to Grad Students
As many of the graduate students in my department are taking comprehensive exams this week, and no doubt cursing my existence as the chair of the international relations exam committee, I thought this quote from Ariel Rubinstein was fitting:
Remember that you are one of the most privileged people on earth. Society has given you a wonderful opportunity. You are supposed to do whatever you want, to think about new ideas, to express your views freely, to do things in the way that you choose and on top you will be rewarded nicely. These privileges should not be taken for granted. We are extremely lucky — we owe something in return.
(Via Michael Tofias.)

The potential for chaos is due in part to the requirement that only 51% of parents are needed to drive radical changes, a simple majority that could breed factionalism and ongoing instability especially if buyer's remorse sets in. Schools should teach about the French Revolution, not have their parents act it out. That's why Adam Emerson, a school-choice analyst at The Fordham Institute who is more bullish on parental empowerment than most in the education world, has suggested that a supermajority or two-thirds benchmark makes more sense as a way to ensure there is a core consensus at a school.

99% of Republicans expect their kids to go to college, according to Pew report.
No matter what political beliefs they hold, nearly all parents—99 percent of Republicans, 96 percent of Democrats, and 93 percent of independents—expect their children to go to college, the survey found. That resounding endorsement makes clear that Santorum is all but alone in his opinion that only snobs encourage all kids to go to college.

2 years ago
But Santorum doesn't care about the facts, because attacking Obama on higher education is really just a pretext for pushing what is, for him, a more urgent message—namely that higher education should be viewed as a problem, not an opportunity. Although he currently frames this message in the Tea Party language of "liberal professors" and "indoctrination," the roots of his stump-speech sallies against academia lie deeper than this, in a religious ideology of cosmic war.

Panel approves measure forcing non-athletes, average college students to pay $2,000 (Extra)
From MSNBC:
"Students at Arizona's three state universities will have to pay — or borrow — at least $2,000 a year to get an education under terms of legislation approved by a House panel today.
Rep. John Kavanagh, R-Fountain Hills, said students should have some "skin in the game." He said students will take their schooling more seriously and be less likely to drop out if they have made an investment.
"I really believe that when something is given to you, you don't have the appreciation of having put in some work," agreed Rep. John Fillmore, R-Apache Junction.
He said $2,000 out of $9,000 annual tuition is not that big a deal. Even with books and fees, Kavanagh said that adds only another $1,500 a year.
Kavanagh said that would leave students with $14,000 debt after four years, "less than the cost of a Chevy Sonic."
"And I personally believe that degrees from our universities are worth far more than Chevy Sonics," he said. Anyway, Kavanagh said that is a small amount, as college grads earn anywhere from $500,000 to $1 million more over their lifetimes than those who do not have a higher education.
The vote came despite objections from students who said there are expenses beyond tuition. Room and board aside, they said they are forced to pay for gasoline, insurance and parking.
"Welcome to life," Rep. Michelle Ugenti, R-Scottsdale, told the students.
"I don't understand why that should affect a modest $2,000 for your education," Ugenti continued. "We all are thrust into circumstances and unpredictable life experiences." […]

Education Gap Grows Between Rich and Poor, Studies Show - NYTimes.com
Now, in analyses of long-term data published in recent months, researchers are finding that while the achievement gap between white and black students has narrowed significantly over the past few decades, the gap between rich and poor students has grown substantially during the same period.
"We have moved from a society in the 1950s and 1960s, in which race was more consequential than family income, to one today in which family income appears more determinative of educational success than race," said Sean F. Reardon, a Stanford University sociologist. Professor Reardon is the author of a study that found that the gap in standardized test scores between affluent and low-income students had grown by about 40 percent since the 1960s, and is now double the testing gap between blacks and whites.
In another study, by researchers from the University of Michigan, the imbalance between rich and poor children in college completion — the single most important predictor of success in the work force — has grown by about 50 percent since the late 1980s.
The changes are tectonic, a result of social and economic processes unfolding over many decades. The data from most of these studies end in 2007 and 2008, before the recession's full impact was felt. Researchers said that based on experiences during past recessions, the recent downturn was likely to have aggravated the trend.

Something I don't think some tumblrcators and other #education folks really understand….
No. Really. You can't teach the unwilling.
Here are options in my speech class:
- Pick your topic, whatever you want as long as it fits the genre of speech (persuasive, narrative, etc.)
- Research it however you want, either with print or web
- Show me some progress points as you work
- Make whatever kind of visual aid you want
- Choose the day you want to give it
- I'm here for guidance all along the way
- Perform, critique, laugh, applaud
- Repeat the progress X 5 for a semester with various topics, techniques, and strategies
- No textbooks. No tests.
And I still, STILL, won't have kids do any work. I have had successes in the past where I spend weeks begging, pleading, nagging, and suddenly a light flips on and the kid does something and we build from there.
But then there are some who truly, really, won't do anything. And there parents won't push them, or guide or support me. I've made the phone calls. I've sent the letters. I've done the heart to hearts and one to ones. And out of the estimated 1,500 kids I've taught, there are those who refuse to work. It's a shrug of the shoulders. "Who do you want to BE?" I ask, "What do you want to DO with yourself?" Shrug.
kimmykaten accused me of not understanding my students. I understand them. I understand their 50% poverty rate. I understand their teen pregnancies. I understand their family illnesses that override their education. I also understand their overbearing parents that put sports over books. I understand their high stakes honors classes and their drive to get into the Good School. I understand their parents that LET them not work. I understand the siblings that blazed a path of inadequacy the younger ones feel obligated to follow.
So when kimmykaten says, 'A child saying "I dunno, nothing" should never be the cue for someone to give up on them, but that is clearly what this instructor with all of this "experience" has done." She really doesn't get it.
I'll teach the willing. I leave all windows and doors to learning open. No one sleeps. No one plays with his phone. You sit there, child, and you think about "nothing" while the rest of us explore, debate, and ask each other questions. And when the idea sparks and he's ready, I am there for him.
Forcing the content on a child is just as bad as completely neglecting her. I do neither.

Need suggestions some moderate priced local restaurants
We have eaten at most of the more expensive restaurants in NO during our visits, but this time would like to eat at some local restaurants with more moderate prices, but authentic good cooking. We won't have our car this time so can't go too far away, but can take streetcar, cab, etc. Thanks for any recs
Boucherie on Jeannette near Carrollton Ave. Everyone in our party loved the food. Excellent service as well. More lively than quiet but comfortable and pleasant overall. They really deserve more love and attention on these boards. More than I can say about some of the other pricier alternatives...
With the right timing you can do that at Dominica. A street car will get you to Mandina's and a short walk from N.O.Pie and Sausage on Banks Street. A block either way on Carrilton off Canal gets you to a number of places.They aren't first tier, or some not second tier, but they are places with good food, some of them falling into the "ethnic" category.
You can walk to Two Sisters Kitchen for a soul food lunch.
The aforementioned Mandina's, Katies in the Carrollton area, Liuzza's has two locations,
Johnny's PoBoys in the FQ, Parkway Tavern, to name a few.
Magazine Street has a plethora of great restaurants.

re: montuori
Thanks to everyone for the wonderful list of suggestions of moderately priced restaurants. Now I can do research on your suggestions and narrow it down. We will be there a week, so plenty of eating to be done.
I just went to Apolline on Magazine. Delicious and decently priced. Also a fan of Rue 21, although I can't remember if it's "New Orleans" food.
Thought of more!
Dante's Kitchen is a local favorite, along with Matt & Naddy's, and Dick & Jennys. These are all along the river in Uptown through to the Riverbend area - all cab-worthy.
Cochon is in the Warehouse District.
Root is getting a lot of attention, also in the Warehouse District.
Superior Seafood has a great Happy Hour, and that's just a streetcar ride away. Delicious discounted frozen mojitos and $.25 raw oysters.
Have you tried Jacquimo's? Many out-of-towners are in the loop now about this gem. You can get there via streetcar... normally*
* Streetcar tracks are under construction, so it's not running it's whole St. Charles/Carrollton route.
I'd say they're probably all in the moderate sector if you could Stella's and Commander's Palace in the "expensive". About $15-$25 a plate.
re: makelifeinteresting
Thanks for the additional ideas. I've heard of Jacquimos, but never been. Hopefully the streetcar will be running all the way in 3 weeks when we arrive for Jazz Fest. My H and son will be very excited about the oyster price at SS. thanks
re: makelifeinteresting
Also, commander's a la carte dinner entrees are about 35 each. Although the fixed price meals at commander's can be a great deal. Stella's gone to a choice between a four course fixed price (85) and a 7 course fixed price (125).
re: N.O.Food
I'm very confused about this comment. I was stating that the $15-$25 was where most of my suggestions sit. Commander's would be more than that, and expensive.
I will state that I've never been to Root, but at $30 an entree, still sits close to my statement of $15-$25 a plate.
Luci2123 is welcome to research further by googling menus to look at other things like appetizers and cocktails.
Why the nit-picking?
re: makelifeinteresting
I wouldn't call Root moderately priced. Starters average about 15 and entrees about 30. Throw in desserts at 9 each and a bottle of wine, and you're getting up there. Not knocking it. I love it, but not sure if op'd agree it's moderately priced.
THANKS AND TRIP REPORT Just wanted to report back to thank all the Chowhounders for their suggestions for moderate priced, local or neighborhood restaurants. Sorry if this is too longwinded, but I really want to share our delectable journey. We did a week in NO starting with the first weekend of Jazz Fest. Our flight arrived at 7 AM on Friday and we took a cab in to town with a cab driver who was actually from NO and could qualify for as a Reader's Digest "Most Unforgettable Character". After leaving our luggage, we walked to the Ruby Slipper for breakfast. Lunch for the first 3 days was of course numerous delicious items at the Fest. We were exhausted from the early flight in and JF and my guys needed a LA oyster fix, so we decided on Felix's for the first night. We ended up with a box to take home--thank goodness for the fridge in the condo. Next morning we had a light bite in the condo and then off to the Fest for lunch (and music of course). For dinner we took the streetcar up to Mandina's and it was great. We had a drink with some locals while we waited and then ordered a fried shrimp and a fried oyster dinner. There was so much food we took a box home (#2) and the prices were very reasonable. Next day was a continental jazz brunch at the condo and then off to the Jazz "mud" Fest. That night we wanted to go to Frenchmen St. and both places I wanted to try were done serving ( Maison - unless we paid $20 cover each to go in and order food because the show was going to start or Adolfos) so we stumbled on Melange "speakeasy". The food was actually quite good even though I had not heard of it from Chowhound and as usual took home a box (#3). It rained off and on (heavy) every day from that Sunday until we left on Friday, but we were not deterred. On Monday morning we headed to Somethin Else Cafe, but there was line, so we walked a little further to the Café Conti. It was very uncrowded, served a great café au lait and crepes. We did the tourist thing and took the riverboat tour and walked around the quarter. Dinner that night was at Bachannal--what an experience!! The food was very good, but the whole evening was just one of those times that you won't soon forget. We shared a table with folks from Canada and Calif., talked Jazz Fest and consumed 2 bottles of wine--thank goodness for taxis. On Tuesday we rented a car and drove in the rain out River Road toward all of the refineries and the plantations because my son had never been out there, but stopped first at Crabby Jack's where we had a regular size oyster and shrimp po boys--I can't imagine what the large size could be like because these were absolutely HUGE and -- you must know by now -- box #4 of leftovers left with us. On the way back into town we went to what has to be the best deal in NO-- $.50 oysters at Superior Seafood on Napoleon. My H is forever thankful to the person who shared this secret. They were huge and ice cold. We went back again on Wed. too while we had the car. Tuesday night we went to EAT Nola and I think that it was probably my favorite dinner place-I had a pan sautéed redfish with a sauce--very good. My son had barbecue shrimp that was also terrific. We brought our own bottle of wine and there no cork fee for the first bottle.The next morning we drove to the Buttermilk Drop Bakery and got some Drops and a bearclaw (recommended by a local in line behind us) and then made a rainy sojurn across the lake to visit the Abita Brewery with my son who is a homebrewer. While the tour was informative, but short, the highlight (at least for my son) is that they let you pour your own beer from all of the taps. That night we ate at the Praline Connection (recommended by our cab driver) and ate wonderful home cooking like fried chicken, greens and beans and rice--and took home box #5 full of fried chicken livers. Afterward went to the Spotted Cat and saw a group that played on the Gentilly Stage the next day. On Thursday my son went back to the Fest and we had to return the car. We planned to go to Katie's which said it was open for breakfast, but when we got there it didn't open until 11, so we didn't get to try it. We had to return the car and decided to go out to Magazine St. on the streetcar for the ride while it wasn't raining and go to Casamento's where we had eaten last year. We didn't make it there because we had to walk past Le Petite Grocery I had just read in the paper that day that the chef had gotten a James Beard nomination-- fish and chips was grouper and a fantastic burger for a change. It was a little pricier than most lunch places, but very good food. After being rained on off and on all afternoon we took the bus back to FQ and called Vacherie to see if they would let us bring our own wine as we had a white and a pinot noir that were only partially drank and were leaving the next day. We told them that we had been to Café Conti and EAT and they said bring the wine. They only charged us 1 cork fee since it was 2 half drank bottles--that's nice. I had rabbit cassoulet, H had oysters Rockefeller and son had the duck breast--all was very good. We went home and shared some sweets that I got at the Southern Praline store that morning. The next day was our final meal in NO and we did breakfast at Somethin Else Café which was fantastic especially the huge homemade biscuit with honey butter. What about all of those boxes of leftovers? Luckily we had my son and his friend along, so they would snack on all of the leftovers when they came back in from the Bourbon St. stroll each night, so nothing went to waste. I was afraid that SW Airlines was going to charge me excess baggage fees for all of the extra body weight that I gained while there, but it was worth every calorie. Thanks to all the Chowhounders who gave us these wonderful ideas.
re: luci2123
Thanks for the review and the perserverance in the rain that week. You really made great use of your time here.

"What is Wonder Woman for?"
I've never seen people question why a comic book character exists or what right they have to be published. But in the last month on reddit, I've seen six posts of people asking questions like "Why does Wonder Woman deserve to be in DC's Trinity over more important characters?" or "Who cares about Wonder Woman?" or "Who does Wonder Woman appeal to?" It's frustrating, as a Wonder Woman fan. It's especially frustrating because you never see people ask why Batman is so important.
In response to a question of this nature, I posted this:
Okay, I may not have been a fan of Wonder Woman since birth. But I discovered Wonder Woman at the ripe age of 3. My mother thought comics would be a great way to teach me how to read and further comprehension of what I was reading. She took me to a comic book store and told me I could pick out any comic I wanted. I was drawn to one particular book: Wonder Woman volume 2 #1. I don't know what it was at the time, but I would not accept any other books or characters (not that my mom fought me on it; in fact, she was overjoyed that I wanted Wonder Woman). From that point on, I was given a Wonder Woman issue every month.
Part of my love of the character can be summed up pretty easily: I grew up with her. But where other characters have come into and gone from my life over the years, Wonder Woman has stayed with me. Why? Because she was intelligent. She was caring, almost to a fault. She understood the value and strength of truth, hope, and compassion. She showed me that it's okay to be different and still be proud of who you are. She helped me understand that self-doubt doesn't have to destroy you, and it doesn't make you less of a person. She helped shape my view of the world, my view of women, and my view on the nature of good. While people around me, especially the other children I grew up with, were being told the difference between right or wrong by their parents, I was being shown what the difference between right and wrong, good and evil, truly looked like.
I have spent much of my teenage and adult life doing everything in my power to help the fight for women's equality, equality for homosexuals, bisexuals, transgender, people of different races, et cetera. I grew up knowing that the simple fact that someone is different from me does not mean that they are less than me. And who taught me that more than anyone else? Wonder Woman. There were almost no other characters that showed this message to me in any other fictional medium. There were others that said they believed in equality, but Wonder Woman always practiced what she preached.
> could that be because the appeal isn't as evident to other people as it is to you, an expert?
I always find this question a little ridiculous. What is the appeal of Superman? What is the appeal of Captain America? What is the appeal of Deadpool? What is the appeal of any character that doesn't appeal to you? The fact that I don't find a character appealing has never led me to question their validity as a character. If anyone likes the character, then clearly it has appeal.
> Which of those male characters were created to explicitly fill the void…
How about every character ever? Seriously. Every comic character was created to fill some sort of void. Superman was created to fill the void between pulp adventures and sci-fi adventures, but with a more human approach. Batman, also the void between pulp heroes and superheroes. Green Lantern, more sci-fi adventures. Then as the times changed, so changed the characters. The voids needing to be filled where broader, more diverse. Instead of just filling genre specific roles, they started filling the roles of race and gender, sexuality, gender identity. Wonder Woman was created to show both men and women that a woman's role didn't have to be simply in the kitchen. In that sense, I find her creation, and the void she filled, far more important than a very large amount of the characters that exist today.
> What differentiates Wonder Woman from Doctor Who, Firefly, Star Wars, Batman, Spider-Man, Spongebob Squarepants, etc?
This isn't even a fair comparison, since these stories are all so vastly different. What sets her apart from Spongebob is that she's a serious character with a message of hope, love, understanding, and compassion, set much closer to reality than a sponge who seems to forget he's underwater. What sets her apart from Doctor Who is that she's always featured strong, independent women, even in the 1940s. When Doctor Who started in the 60s, Barbara and Susan (and to a point Vicki) were merely there to need rescue from Ian and the Doctor; they were there to be the bumbling idiots who progressed the story. She's different from Batman because, while he's gotten darker and darker over the years, while he's used fear and intimidation, Wonder Woman has always shown the opposite side of the emotional spectrum: love, hope, compassion. She's shown us, from the beginning, that these do not equal weakness. She's shown that a hero can work in the light. Without Wonder Woman and her impact on the perception of female characters and women in general, we may not have ended up with movies like Star Wars or shows like Firefly and Buffy, which feature strong, intelligent women in starring roles, not just sex kittens, vixens, or ornaments. While she was not the sole reason that women are much closer to equal than they had been before her debut, she was a major contributing factor.
What it comes down to is: If you don't like Wonder Woman, that's fine. You don't have to. But I don't go around asking why other people's favorite characters exist, what right they have to be published, who they are targeted at, simply because I don't see the appeal. As I said before, if anyone sees the appeal, and they support what they like enough that the company still finds them viable, then kudos. Wonder Woman hasn't lasted 72 years simply because DC needed a female character. Over the years, they've come up with a ton of other female characters: Batgirl, Black Canary, Vixen, Power Girl, Zatanna, Catwoman, any number of Green Lanterns, Big Barda, any of the Legion girls, Huntress, Mera, and so on. If Wonder Woman weren't an appealing character, she would have been replaced decades ago. DC has already proven that they will cancel books that don't sell.

I just needed a battery charger and shopped around different stores in my area but they were very expensive. On Overstock.Com I found the battery charger, new battery and a car charger all for one extremely low price and it arrived at my door in a few days. Great deal!
Bought this to supplement the Li-on Battery that came with my Canon camera. Now I always have a back up battery. Very happy with product.
I was upset when I lost my charger and battery on vacation and shocked at how expensive it was to replace! When I found this set on Overstock.com, it seemed too good to be true! I was so happy with the quality and great price that I won't hesitate to shop here first all the time!
I bought 2 of these battery's with the chargers. Price was good and I charged both battery's with their chargers and worked fine.
This charger came with everything. It has a car charger and electrical charger. Plus an additional battery. So much for a great price.

Unlike the previous review, I actually love this gloss. Leaves a light tint to my lips almost like benefit tints in intensity. However my lips are not heavily pigmented. I would recommend to layer over Lipstick Queen Jean Queen lipstick.
I love the click brush applicator (I find it more hygienic then the doe foot wands)
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I love this brand, but this gloss had virtually no pigment. I can essentially get the same effect with vasoline. The packaging is also problematic- it's similar to Stila glazes but without the click pen. With this product, you squeeze the middle of the tube and hope the appropriate amount of product is dispensed. Unless you are someone who dislikes color and is YLBB only, avoid.

The trash-talking had to come eventually.
Appearing on SNY's Loudmouths with Adam Schein and Chris Carlin, Jets cornerback Antonio Cromartie was asked whether he thought Pittsburgh Steelers receiver Hines Ward was a dirty player.
"I know for a fact that he will hit you while you're not looking," Cromartie said. "I don't think he's man enough to hit you while you're looking at him."
And here we go…
Jets defensive coordinator Mike Pettine chimed in as well: "Our guys I think called him the toughest guy in the league when nobody's looking," Pettine said, per Ian Begley of ESPNNewYork.com.
"I think our guys have played against them enough to know what he's all about," Pettine said.
Should be a fun one, Sunday.

For nearly two decades, Charlotte photographer Daniel Coston has been as much a fixture at regional music shows as microphones and amplifiers. Gig-hopping between venues (and sometimes cities) as though they were adjacent stages at a festival, Coston has crammed as many as seven different shoots into a day and still averages half-a-dozen shows each week.
During his time, he's chronicled the rise of some of the region's biggest bands – the early years of the Avett Brothers, for instance – and some of the state's legends. Witness the soft-focus Doc Watson shot that serves as the cover for Coston's third and latest book, "North Carolina Musicians: Photographs and Conversations" (McFarland Press).
Coston's strengths as a photographer spring from the long relationships he's established with certain musicians. The fly-on-the-wall level of intimacy that only comes with trust – the kind built by noted music photographers like Jim Marshall and Ernest Withers – pays off in some of the book's best shots, presented in a 7x10 black-and-white, acid-free paperback. Comprised of five sections – "In the Studio," "On the Road," "On Stage," "Festivals" and "At Home" – Coston wanted the structure to mirror his own experiences as a music photographer.
"In doing it that way, it allowed me to talk about the journey I took, working with these musicians, taking these photographs, and my own life on the road – and I've done a fair bit of that," says the 41-year-old, who once travelled to Iceland on his own dime to shoot the Charlotte band Mar, who'd been invited to record in Sigur Ros' studio. (Mar immediately broke up and the record was never released.)
For somebody who was initially, as he wrote on a blog, "too shy to say hello'' to artists like Whiskeytown the first time he saw them, Coston has been able to turn the relationships that developed over those parallel journeys into some wonderfully intimate photos in the book. There's a shot of Charlotte crooner Benji Hughes, in tux and bare feet, staring poignantly off-camera at another musician's wedding. Backstage, there's a shot of an exhausted Chris Phillips of the Squirrel Nut Zippers napping in the Double Door Inn's green room and another of a deep-in-concentration Jimbo Mathus scribbling down the guitar chords as he pens a song at the Visulite Theatre.
In the "At Home" section, Coston captures the Carolina Chocolate Drops practicing in the living room of their mentor, fiddler Joe Thompson, and underrated troubadour David Childers playing in his kitchen. Coston says it's his long association with some of these musicians that enables him to peer beneath the public persona. "They're much more comfortable with me – I'm not an unknown entity, I'm there because I want to be and because I know I can get something good out of them and they know I can get something good out of them," he says. "Ultimately I want something, posed or live, that's a reflection of the people, of what's going on in front of me."
Coston began what he's called his "accidental career'' in the mid-90s with the Charlotte arts publication Tangents. He was hired as a cartoonist, but never did any cartoons. He then switched over to writing, but just as quickly picked up photography when the previous shutterbug kept neglecting to show up at assignments. Armed with a Cannon AE-1 that his father wasn't using, Coston shot some local music shows and wound up getting hired by the bands for promotional shots.
His luck continued when his first out-of-town gig turned out to be the 1996 Farm Aid in Columbia. There, he met and shot the Beach Boys, Willie Nelson, Neil Young and Crazy Horse, Doug Sahm, and Son Volt, among others. Coston has since sold exclusive photos (including cover shots) to national publications ranging from Mojo, Magnet and Rolling Stone to GQ and Entertainment Weekly, but decided early on that he preferred working with the musicians themselves. His photography has been featured as album artwork on 80 albums, including the Drive-by Truckers, Chad & Jeremy, and even Ted Nugent (the only show Coston has ever been booted from).
Coston also photographed Johnny Cash's final public appearances at the invitation of the Carter family just before his 2003 death, and travelled to London for the Zombies' first performance of Odessey & Oracle. But it's the regional scene where his documentation has reverberated most.
It was in 2007 that Coston began kicking around the idea of his own book chronicling North Carolina musicians. It was actually a local arts writer, Meg Freeman Whalen, who suggested the book.
"When I started in the mid-90s, there was a trend at the time for snarky music journalism – 'journalism' in quotation marks," Coston says. "I didn't want to do that. I felt that having to write that way to get more interest nationally or regionally – I didn't want to be someone else. I wanted to communicate about the music I was experiencing, listening to and enjoying, and have more of a conversation with it – and it just happened to be with photography.''
But the line between booster and documentarian gets rubbed out occasionally – teasing the reader about the "stories I could tell" about Whiskeytown and its would-be enfant terrible Ryan Adams, and then studiously avoiding even a whiff of the controversy that was inimical to their music, reads disingenuous. From that standpoint, the many artist Q&As in the text are welcome for the light they shine. To his credit, Coston asks the right questions, a result of interviewing plenty of his subjects over the years (many of them published in the music periodical The Big Takeover).
This is really Coston's story as much as it is any of the musicians'. There is insight aplenty for any aspiring music photographers.
