Holy Doodle!! Now that is Christmas decorations. I would hate to be the one to dust all of those.
So very very happy that Coco got a forever home just in time for Christmas. Yipee!!!!

Unless that gingerbread house has cream cheese frosting, I see noting cheesy here. Kids are good for the soul! Their unbridled joy at the simplest of thngs is a good reminder for us to enjoy life!

This is what makes Christmas so special and so joyous. I thought I used to over decorate at Christmas but I guess not. And a new home for Coco makes it absolutely a perfect day.

Great that you got to spend the time with the kids. Loved that Lego engineer, he could rent his talent to fumble fingered adults like me that try to build things from Legos.

Great shots, but I think Coco is the all round winner. A Christmas he'll never forget!

I enjoyed every one of those photos. Makes me remember when my grandkids were younger...such fun times at Christmas. And rescuing Coco is just the frosting on the cake (or the gingerbread house!).

Great wrap up. They are great kids.

Not "cheesy" at all - cute kids and great pictures.
The only problem with the "beautiful Christmas house" is you have to take all those decorations down. I hate that!

Enjoyed the photos of the kids. Thanks for sharing.

text: Las Vegas Attackers Died In Adult Diapers Print article Send a Tip by AWR Hawkins 24 Jun 2014 post a comment When Jerad and Amanda Miller went on their June 8 Las Vegas attack--killing two Police Officers and a concealed carry permit holder, then themselves, they were wearing adult diapers. According to Mail Online, 31-year-old Jerad and 22-year-old Amanda were armed with four handguns and a shotgun. No explanation given for which of those were stolen off the the police officers they killed in CiCi's pizza. After the Millers left CiCi's they went to Wal-Mart where Amanda killed concealed carry permit holder Joseph Robert Wilcox by sneaking up on him from behind. They then "smashed a Wal-Mart sporting good display case to get more ammunition" and built "a make-shift fort out of merchandise." Fifty-two rounds were exchanged between SWAT officers and the Millers before Jerad was struck in the chest. His wife then shot him in the head and subsequently killed herself. Both were wearing adult diapers. Follow AWR Hawkins on Twitter @AWRHawkins Reach him directly at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Former CM'er Joan Glowik's father fell yesterday and broke a bone in his neck. He doesn't need surgery but will be in a collar for six weeks. The recovery is going to be a trying time for him and her and their family.
From being on CM so long, I know you guys do great work in here. I've requested prayers before over the years. So if you could join me in praying for Joan's father and her family, it would be a blessing for them. Thank you very much.
Sorry to hear this, Andrew. Thank you so much for requesting prayers. You are SOOO right that we are a mighty powerful group of warriors who do marvelous things in His name - I'm happy to add my prayers to the others.
And Joan (I'm pretty sure you'll be reading these) - this is for you -

Evidence Asked For In McDonnell Case
Published On: Feb 14 2014 05:58:20 PM CST
Former Virginia Governor Bob McDonnell's attorneys are asking for access to evidence. They ask specifically for access to evidence in the civil suit against dietary supplement maker Star Scientific. Last month a federal judge granted prosecutors motions to not turn evidence over in the civil suit until the criminal case against the McDonnell's was complete.
Prosecutors argue that the civil suit and the 14-count indictment include the same facts and alleged misconduct. The lawyers for the McDonnell's say they believe the government is trying to obstruct their defense.

I don't know... I've known quite a few bike people in my life that would probably seriously consider doing the procreating thing with certain ultra-lightweight and uber-expensive racing bike models if the possibility of hybrid human-two-wheeled offspring had any legs.
Or wheels, I suppose.
Thanks for the assist there, Bob. I spent most of yesterday working with various cancer-related materials, so it's no wonder my fingers typed recombinant for recumbent.This post is brought to you by the letter E and the number 9. Those are the buttons I push to get a Twix out of the candy machine.

No Kitch, I was just suggesting that the bike shown above might be more stable in a recumbent construction.This post is brought to you by the letter E and the number 9. Those are the buttons I push to get a Twix out of the candy machine.

Ah.Shop smart. Shop S-Mart.

Originally posted by kemingMatters View PostI think the problem falls with not educating clients/potential clients about websites in general. From my experience, a lot of clients I speak with tend to have a Field of Dreams ideology of their website. Because this logic is too good to be true they tend to not want to invest much time or money into the web or they blow 90% of their budget on SEO and scare clients away with an amateur site that may or may not have compatibility/accessibility issues, look dated or take forever to load (to name a few). Part of sales is education, you have to educate the client so they understand why spending $#### with you is a better investment than spending $### with their neighbours kid.
There was a husband and wife team of my acquaintance who proudly showed me a website promoting their new fitness club. The very first thing which confronted me were huge blocks of text, the font set way too small by necessity, talking only about themselves...I, us, we, and nothing which immediately addressed the visitor (you, your, etc.) and THEIR concerns which drew them to the site in the first place (weight loss, fitness, health, etc.). I forced myself to read about half of the first paragraph. The most basic rules of advertising still apply on the web, though often go ignored by clients.
Too right...

1) ...spend a year or more writing a book with no self-promotion, hoping to attract the attention the single pair of eyes in the head of a publisher who may, or may not publish my book (JK Rowling of "Potter" fame submitted her own manuscript to 15 publishers before she got a green light).
2) ...spend an awesome amount of time and money in purchasing and learning software, etc., in search of the attention of many pairs of eyes.
However, the time spent LEARNING, could have otherwise been spent CREATING.
What to do?
For the awesome amount of money and time you would spend learning the software, just hire a designer and be done with it.

Pro-democracy supporters stage Friday morning rallies
By Rasha Mahmoud, Friday, March 14, 2014
CAIRO – Backers of ousted president Mohamed Morsi staged morning rallies on Friday as part of fresh week-long protests.
Pro-democracy demonstrators marched in the upscale Mohandiseen district in western Cairo, amid calls for justice for pro-Morsi demonstrators killed by security forces in recent months.
Hundreds of pro-democracy supporters were killed in mid-August when security forces violently dispersed pro-Morsi protest camps in Cairo.
Two pro-democracy rallies set out in the coastal city of Alexandria, with protesters calling for the release of female protesters and condemning what they call the "military coup" against democratically elected Morsi.
Similar protests were staged in the Nile Delta provinces of Sharqiya and Kafr al-Sheikh and the central Minya province.
Morsi, Egypt's first freely elected president, was removed from power by the military on July 3 following mass protests against his administration.
Since then, supporters of the ousted president have been staging almost daily rallies to demand his reinstatement.

On Target Copywriting and the next "Buns of Steel"
Posted By Jeff Sexton On August 5, 2009 @ 9:50 am In Copywriting,Customer Focus,Customer Insight,Improving Conversion,Marketing Rants,Personas | 17 Comments
In fact, you may not like the product, either, simply because you're probably not part of their targeted audience. So make up your mind now to look past that in order to see the marketing decisions behind both the product and the site.
Let's start by imagining that you've just been challenged to enter the fitness category. Not to sell some machine or piece of equipment, but to sell a workout program. You can pick any angle of approach you want, and let's assume you have the wherewithal to find the science or content to make the angle of approach you pick the "real deal."
What angle of approach would you choose?
And for what audience would you tailor your messaging?
Now, do I actually like the Website? No. I think the cartoon character at the beginning is a huge turnoff. So is forcing visitors to engage with your "Calculate your Adonis Index" tool before letting them past the splash pages and onto the real sales copy [2]. Nor do I make any claims for the validity of the statements made on this site or by these entrepreneurs.
What I DO like is the incredibly intelligent approach to marketing a workout program. The last workout program to take such a brazen approach was the infamous buns of steal videotape. You know, the tape that became a cultural icon [3], that spawned a 22-tape "of steel" series [4], and that launched Tamilee Web into fitness icon status?
While I don't think The Adonis Effect will become as high-profile as Buns of Steel (and that might well be a Marketing to Women lesson [5] for you right there), I do think it'll make a killing off its target audience. And here's the take-away lesson from that:
Always make sure your messaging/copy is speaking to the real, deeply felt, emotional needs of the prospective customer. Crummy writing that's on target will always beat great writing that's directed at anything other than the heart of the reader. And of course, that goes for websites as well.
You can ding The Adonis Effect for it's cheesy Website(s) – along with any number of usability and persuasive faux pas – all you want, but the essential message is on target. And I'd be willing to bet money on their success because of that one factor.
Back when Holly Buchanan [6] and I used to routinely teach Persuasive Online Copywriting [7], we'd have the class write a short piece of copy based on a standard demographic/target-audience profile, then we'd replace that crappy (but typical) marketing profile with personas and have the students re-write their copy.
Invariably, the second pieces of copy blew away the first – not because we had magically turned the students into better writers, but always because the copy went from stereotypical advertising appeals to emotionally on target copy for intended audience.
And you know who else preached this same "On Target" message? The late Gary Halbert. Just watch this video and you'll see exactly what I'm talking about at around the 1:40 mark:[8]
P.S. Although a public/open session of Persuasive Online Copywriting hasn't been held in about a year, you can still get the majority of the lessons from that 1-day course by attending Writing for the Radio and Internet [9] at Wizard Academy [10]. Chris Maddock [11] and I co-teach that 2-day course, with Chris focusing on improving core writing skills while I teach a specific methodology for creating and linking on target web copy.

Dodgers still high risk
Some were winners (Marlins) and others losers (Dodgers). Nearly a month later, another look at the deadline deals.
Originally Published: August 27, 2004By Buster Olney | ESPN The Magazine
Some folks who know Dodgers general manager Paul DePodesta say he is unbothered by the criticism he has received for his trades before the July 31 deadline. He is sure he made the deals based on sound information and for all the right reasons, they say, and he is comfortable with that.
DePodesta should feel this way. He is in a position to have more direct and intimate knowledge of his own players than any reporter who gave a thumbs-down to his deals, including this writer. And it's good ...

A water treatment plant in Columbia, Missouri, was shut down briefly Friday after a chlorine leak was discovered. Firefighters responded to the scene and found a faulty valve on a tank containing one ton of the chemical, WLTX reported.
The fire department responded to the incident at 300 Laurel Street late on June 13, sending a crew that managed to stop the leak. Fortunately, the chemical scrubbing protection system installed at the plant activated and contained the spill in the area where the leak started. The situation was under control around an hour and a half later. The fire crew remained on scene to help the water treatment plant return to normal operations.
There were 26 workers at the facility when the incident occurred, but no injuries were reported.
Columbia switched to free chlorine from chloramines to clean its water supply in May, following a recommendation made by the Missouri Department of Natural Resources. City water production manager Mike Anderson said last month that the Columbia Water and Light Department would use the chemical to disinfect drinking water until the end of August.
The city has used chloramines for its water treatment processes since 2009 following tests showing that this method could help limit the high levels of a cancer-causing compound, known as trihalomethane, recorded in Columbia's drinking water at that time. Chloramines are formed when ammonium sulfate is added to chlorine to treat drinking water.

Evan Frey is listed at 6 feet and 170 pounds, and the wiry outfield prospect in the Diamondbacks organization freely admits he isn't the type to drive many balls over the fence.
But what Frey always has done well, and what he has done throughout the Arizona Fall League, which ends Saturday, is the stuff of a classic leadoff man: He sees pitches, works counts and finds a way on base.
"That's what I try to do," he said. "I try to figure out the pitcher and what they're trying to do. That's kind of my game."
Frey has had perhaps the most encouraging fall performance of any of the Diamondbacks' prospects. After hitting a combined .314 with a .400 on-base percentage at two levels during the regular season, he made the jump from Class A Visalia and is hitting .294 in 119 at-bats in the Fall League, reaching base at a healthy .349 clip.
"It was a big step for him to come to this league," Diamondbacks farm director A.J. Hinch said. "He has held his own against more-experienced competition."
Right-hander Hector Ambriz also has impressed. After a disappointing season as a starter with Double-A Mobile, he has a 2.76 ERA with 20 strikeouts in 16�1/3 innings, all in relief. He has pitched so well in the role that there is talk in the organization about keeping him in the bullpen next season.
Another reliever, right-hander Reid Mahon, also has pitched well, posting a 2.08 ERA in 13 innings.
Right-hander Max Scherzer also pitched in the league, starting four times to build up his innings. He had a 3.38 ERA with 24 strikeouts in 24 innings.
Right-hander Brooks Brown (5.61 ERA in 25�2/3 innings) has been up and down, infielder Rusty Ryal has struggled (.129 average in 70 at-bats), and catcher John Hester has opened some eyes.
Hester, known for being strong defensively, has looked serviceable at the plate as well, hitting .262 with three home runs in 42 at-bats.

He doesn't talk to me, but he stares at me. What can this mean?
Okay. I met this guy in November. We flirted a little but nothing came of it. He came up on suggested friends on Facebook so I added him and he never did anything with it so I canceled it.Now I see him every other week, and he doesn't talk to me, but he stares at me. A lot. But he doesn't smile or anything.Like, I smiled at him the other day, and he still just stared. I'm also pretty sure he was trying to show off last time I saw him. So, tell me what you think.I'm so frustrated by this. It's not that I like him just yet, but I'm really interested in him.
What's Your Opinion?
Most Helpful Opinion
Maybe he is staring at you because he recognizes your face, but can't remember where he knows you from and so he is trying to figure that out in his head. It is weird that when you smile at him he doesn't smile back however. Maybe try to add him again, and send a message with it saying that you met him last November and he seemed cool so you wanted to keep in touch.
That's what I did last time when he did nothing with it.
Well maybe this dude isn't worth your time if he is going to act like that then.
What Guys Said 3
Dude likes you... A LOT! either that or he is really lame. you should go up to him and talk to him... I've been in that dude's shoes. you must be a really cool girl!
You think so? even with the whole Facebook thing? if he liked me that much why wouldn't he accept it?
- Show Older Hide Older
Maybe try adding him again? or you could forget about the past and go up to him as if its your first time talking to him.
ahh oh man this is EXACTLY my question that I posted. @criazazy -can you please how/why you know he "likes you...A LOT!"...?
What Girls Said 1
Well, what do you want it to mean? Do you like him? Because I don't think he likes you, at least not in a more than friends way.
He's just being odd. A lot of people are odd. Maybe you'll be friends with the future but I don't know. It seems to me he's just another guy in the crowd that caught your eye. Like finding a shiny penny. It's cool at first, but then just useless because it's not worth anything. :D

MADRE Statements
Iraq Withdrawal Does Not Mean the War Is Over
Posted on: Monday, October 24, 2011
Keywords: Iraq, Middle East, US Foreign Policy, Combating Violence Against Women
Last Friday, President Obama announced that all US troops will be returning home from Iraq by the end of this year. But the war is far from over—especially for women and girls.
Hundreds of thousands of Iraqi civilians have been killed during the war and 4,482 US troops have lost their lives. In addition, gender-based violence has reached unprecedented levels. Since the US invasion in 2003, Iraqi women and girls have faced an increased risk of violence, abductions and sexual assault.
Now, as the US troops come home, Iraqi women and their families will continue to struggle with the legacy of this war. As Yanar Mohammed, President of The Organization of Women's Freedom in Iraq (OWFI) and MADRE's partner has said, "We used to have a government that was almost secular. It had one dictator. Now we have almost 60 dictators—Islamists who think of women as forces of evil. This is what is called the democratization of Iraq."
Even with US troops leaving Iraq, a substantial US presence will remain. Over 5,000 private security contractors commanded by the US State Department will be deployed to the country—a force that has been accused of grave human rights violations. In 2007, 17 Iraqi civilians were killed in Baghdad's Nisour Square by US security contractors.
Following Obama's announcement, MADRE Executive Director Yifat Susskind said, "We are glad that the US troops will be returning home at the end of the year. But a war on women continues to rage in Iraq. The war was sold in part as a way to protect women's human rights, but instead women and girls experienced a rise in violence in a militarized Iraq. Despite the troop withdrawal, these threats persist. Peace in Iraq can only be achieved once women's human rights are protected."

Product description
Do you work magic with herbs? Do you use them in spells, for talismans or simply use their innate powers? If you don't have "Cunningham's Encyclopedia of Magical Herbs, "you need to get it right away. This book has become a classic in its field. Paul Beyerl, a respected author on herbs calls it ..".an essential reference book by students of herbalism and magick alike ... Scott's personable charm touches every page... I highly recommend this book." And Jeanne Rose, famous author of books on herbs and developer of an herbal course says "I love books like this ... It is accessible, easy to read, and with its encompassing index (all too often neglected), simple to use as well." Over 200,000 people already have this book and use it frequently. In this edition of the book (it's expanded and revised on the 15th anniversary of original publication) you will find the magical properties and folklore of over 400 herbs! You'll also find lists of herbs based on their magical powers, their genders, their planetary rulers, and more. Perhaps the most important list is the folk name cross-reference. With that information, when a recipe calls for "bramble, " you'll know it needs blackberry. Or if the magic calls for "enebro," you'll know you that is juniper. The main part of this book is the listings of the herbs. Each one includes names, associations, and magical attributions. Violets can be used for protection, luck, love, and more. Primrose is for protection and love. Garlic is for protection, healing, exorcism, lust, and prevention of theft. This book is considered a classic.

Hepzibah is a fictional character in the Marvel Comics universe. She is a member of the intergalactic enforcers known as the Starjammers and currently a member of the Uncanny X-Men. The name of her species, Mephitisoid, is derived from the word Mephitidae, the scientific classification for skunks, which her species noticeably resembles.

Publication history[edit]
Dave Cockrum created the Starjammers with the intent of having them star in their own series. However, when he submitted the concept for Marvel's two try-out series, Marvel Spotlight and Marvel Premiere, he was repeatedly informed that these series were booked for two years solid. Running out of patience, Cockrum showed the Starjammers to X-Men writer Chris Claremont, and convinced him to use the characters for this series.[2] She first appeared in X-Men #107 (October 1977).
Fictional character biography[edit]
A member of the Mephitisoid species, Hepzibah was born on the planet Tryl'sart, while under Shi'ar Imperial Rule. Imprisoned by the authority of the then Shi'ar Emperor D'Ken, brother of Deathbird and Lilandra of the Royal House of Neramani, she first met Corsair (Christopher Summers) for the first time on the prison labor world Alisbar.[3] Summers rescued her from a particularly gruesome death sentence (to be eaten alive at a banquet), prompting her to swear an eternal bond to him. The two met fellow prisoners Raza Longknife and Ch'od, and, after escaping Alzibar, the foursome formed with whom they formed the Starjammers. Summers, using the name "Corsair" in tribute to the science fiction adventurers he had admired during his youth, quickly earned the three aliens' respect and became the group's leader, eventually also winning the heart of Hepzibah, becoming her lover. It was Corsair who gave her the nickname "Hepzibah" (after the character of Mam'selle Hepizbah from the comic strip Pogo), because her Mephitisoid name consists of a series of scents impossible to reproduce in spoken language.[volume & issue needed]
Encounters with the X-Men[edit]
Hepzibah and the Starjammers teamed up with the X-Men on multiple occasions. The first time, the Starjammers came to the aid of the X-Men against D'Ken's Imperial Guard.[4] Later, with the other Starjammers, she fought off an alien attack on the HMSS Starjammer starship.[5] After that, she helped save Wolverine's life in outer space, and then engaged in mock combat with Carol Danvers.[6] Hepzibah and the Starjammers helped the New Mutants neutralize the threat of the Magus.[7]
Together with Ch'od, she sought the "map-rod" holding information on the location of the "Phalkon" power source. The Phalkon turned out to be the Phoenix. She and the Starjammers were attacked by Deathbird's Shi'ar starships. With the other Starjammers, she first met Excalibur on Earth and aided a rebellion against Deathbird on a Shi'ar border world.[8]
Later, she was captured by Warskrulls and impersonated by one of them, until she was freed by the X-Men.[9]
Other encounters[edit]
During the Kree/Shi'ar War, she battled Wonder Man and the Vision while escorting the Shi'ar nega-bomb to the Kree Empire.[10] With Raza, she accepted an assignment from the former Kree admiral to kill the Black Knight. With the Starjammers, she visited the Avengers and Binary on Earth. She was thwarted in her attempt to poison the Black Knight, and the plan was foiled. She then returned with the Starjammers to the Shi'ar Empire.[11]
Hepzibah also aided the Hulk in rescuing some of the Hulk's people from the alien forces of Troyjan.[volume & issue needed] The Silver Surfer personally saved her life, an incident which led her to believe she simply intimidated the forces threatening her.[volume & issue needed]
The Rise and Fall of The Shi'ar Empire[edit]
After Corsair reunited with his son Havok,[volume & issue needed] and the Starjammers participated in a conflict between Lilandra's and D'Ken's forces,[volume & issue needed] Corsair was killed by his own son Vulcan.[volume & issue needed] Hepzibah raided the X-Men's stolen Shi'ar ship's weapons locker and was ready to take vengeance on Vulcan.[volume & issue needed] However, she was forced to return with the repowered Professor X, Warpath, Darwin, and Nightcrawler when Lilandra, hoping to save her beloved Xavier from death and protect some of the X-Men (believing that the battle was not going well) locked the ship into a jump course for Earth.[volume & issue needed] Consequently, Hepzibah, separated from her fellow Starjammers, is currently residing with the X-Men on Earth, with no foreseeable way to return to Shi'ar space to help the Starjammers and Lilandra continue to fight Vulcan.[volume & issue needed]
Member of the X-Men[edit]
Since she is stuck on Earth and has nowhere else to go, Hepzibah joins Professor X's team of X-Men.[volume & issue needed] She and Warpath have already created a bond of sorts, with Hepzibah remarking that his presence has helped her through her mourning of Corsair.[volume & issue needed] Together, they confront one of the X-Mansion's guardian Sentinels when Caliban, a long time X-Men ally, runs onto the grounds.[12]
She is seen in an altered standard X-Uniform and entering the Morlock Tunnels alongside Warpath, Storm, and Caliban. As a group, they are attempting to discover the reason for the Morlocks' increased activity, which has included the capturing of X-Men ward Leech. Hepzibah, as a furred female with enhanced senses, has multiple problems with the sewers. Hepzibah's name has been written on a Morlock wall, along with the names of the other X-Men team members.[13]
After the Morlock encounter, she speaks with Scott, who accepts her having Warpath as her new mate.[volume & issue needed]
World War Hulk[edit]
Hepzibah is one of the X-Men who answers the Stepford Cuckoos' call for help when the Hulk attacks Professor Xavier.[14]
Messiah Complex[edit]
Hepzibah disables one of the giant robot O*N*E Sentinels after they become corrupted and attack the X-Mansion. She then becomes a member of the new incarnation of X-Force.[15] After checking a Cooperstown Hospital for Cable, they track him to the Canadian wilderness where the team gets into a fight with the newly re-formed Reavers.[16][17] When Caliban is killed, Warpath becomes overprotective of Hepzibah telling her this isn't her fight only to be told off by her and later Wolverine.[18]
Later, X-Force tracks the mutant child to Muir Island where it is being guarded by the Acolytes and the Marauders.[19] They manage to hold them off for some time when the rest of the X-Teams arrive.[20] When New X-Men member Pixie teleports Predator X to the island, Cyclops orders X-Force to take it out. Hepzibah is one of the X-Force members to engage Predator X; Predator X sprays her with acid hurting her arm. She is then seen standing around Professor X's body.[21]
Divided We Stand[edit]
Archangel goes to San Francisco, California, to meet up with Hepzibah, Warpath, and Iceman. All four are caught in the effects of a city-wide illusion created by Martinique Jason, who has used her powers to transform the city into a hippie paradise. Jason sends Hepzibah, now calling herself "Lady Kitten," and the others to confront Cyclops and Emma Frost.[22]
Manifest Destiny[edit]
Hepzibah relocates with the X-Men to San Francisco. She is shown thinking she doesn't know how to operate a telephone when the reality is that Warpath just wants to hear her voice and doesn't know how to talk to her after the things he's done.[23]
She has been seen in the background of Utopia, having gone to the Island with the X-Men.[volume & issue needed]
When Henry Gyrich is made co-director of S.W.O.R.D., he organizes all aliens living on Earth to be deported. While at a bar in San Francisco, Hepzibah is drugged by undercover S.W.O.R.D. agents and taken away by them. Her disappearance among the X-Men leads Cyclops and Emma Frost to contact Beast and Abigail Brand about why S.W.O.R.D. has taken her away to be deported.[24] Hepzibah and the other aliens help save S.W.O.R.D. from an invasion and depose Gyrich. All of the aliens are returned to their respective homes,[25] with Hepzibah going to stay in Utopia, the new base of the X-Men.[volume & issue needed]
Powers and abilities[edit]
Relative to a human, Hepzibah possesses enhanced agility, speed, reflexes, coordination, balance, hyper-keen senses, and superhumanly acute night vision and sense of smell. Mephitisoids also have retractable claws, and the ability to emit specific mind/mood-altering pheromones at will.
Hepzibah is a brilliant natural athlete and acrobat, and skilled hand-to-hand combatant, trained in various forms of armed and unarmed combat known in the Shi'ar galaxy. She is also an expert marksman, and is knowledgeable in the operation of a wide variety of ship-sized weaponry. She is often armed with Shi'ar energy guns.
As a member of the Mephitisoid race, Hepzibah's features are supposed to resemble that of a humanoid skunk, with pointed ears on the top of her head and fur having the colors and markings of an Earth skunk. However, modern Marvel artists have begun giving her a more cat-like appearance, removing the black markings. No explanation for the change has been given in the comic books.
In other media[edit]
- Hepzibah appeared in the "Phoenix Saga" of the X-Men animated series. She appears as a member of the Starjammers. In reference to their relationship in the comics, one scene shows her and Corsair sharing a kiss. She re-appears with the other Starjammers in "Orphan's End" in which an uncredited actress provides some dialogue.

Roots Watch: Fall Words and Music; History Worth Catching
I'm sometimes asked —sympathetically or suspiciously—why I don't write more negative reviews than I do. It's not some physical disability that prevents me from turning my thumb down; there are simply so many projects (all media included) being released now, more than I could ever discuss, and life's too short to spend much time or space on the ones that don't grab me. Once again, then, here are some fall books and musical releases I think you'll be glad to encounter:
North Carolina journalist David Menconi takes on the daunting task of getting a handle on one of the alt.country rock era's most shape-shifting, irrepressible, often-frustrating and notably gifted characters in Ryan Adams: Losering, a Story of Whiskeytown. The prolific Adams' body of work over the past twenty years (yeah; it's 20 years) has been enormous and varied, his reputation, and sometimes chemically altered life, a roller coaster ride, and as the book reminds us, spending great amounts of time with him could be at once risky and repetitive.
Menconi attends to this biographical and musicological challenge by focusing on Adams' rise from obscurity on the Raleigh, NC scene, and the limited but well-recalled success of his band Whiskeytown from which Ryan emerged as a star solo act. That choice makes the book. The author was one of the first writers to herald Adams' arrival, knew him well, found excitement in the local scene of the time (which he conveys strongly), then watched as Adams' pulled away from both Raleigh and the author's circle in pursuit of partly-attained rock star ambitions. The relation of author and subject drives the narrative here, and, as Menconi notes, disarmingly, late in the game, "I'll admit that it's entirely possible that I like the old stuff better because it came from the place I lived, too." Anybody who's had a local hero they envisioned as "the next big thing" (and in regional roots music, who hasn't?) should find this book potent. In this case, the next big thing actually got big.
When Josh Graves found ways to adapt Earl Scruggs-style banjo rolls and rhythms to the sustaining dobro sound, he added a major element to the Flatt & Scruggs sound and the Foggy Mountain Boys' lasting charm and specialness. Bluegrass scholar and jack of all media Fred Bartenstein has put together a fitting and overdue tribute to the much loved, music-altering dobro pioneer in Bluegrass Bluesman: Josh Graves, a Memoir. The title summarizes the blues-like edge of comedy/edge of heartbreak aspect of Graves' personal and musical style; the memoir, nicely edited from a jigsaw of interviews Graves gave through the years, relates the tale of a remarkable and varied career, and adds knowing commentary from such admirers as Jerry Douglas, Mac Wiseman, Tut Taylor, and Rob Ickes.
It took many generations for the complicated legacy of 19th century blackface minstrelsy, the alienating, embarrassing and invigorating tradition that lurks behind so much of American show business and popular music, to be digestible enough for historians to be able to take it up in a less heated, more enlightening fashion— to delineate both the irredeemably ugly and the lingering, engaging sides of the once massively popular burnt cork disguise music and comedy style. It's taken until now, though, for anyone to take up an especially complicated and confusing side of that story in detail—the involvement of African-American performers themselves in variants of an entertainment format so generally agreed to have been racist. That's the fraught subject bravely engaged in Yuval Taylor and Jake Austen's Darkest America: Black Minstrelsy from Slavery to Hip Hop. It's a vigorous, provocative look at what was— and is—at work when blacks turned to this presentation style, from an especially revealing and welcome look at the great early 20th century star entertainer Bert Williams to minstrelsy-sans cork turns by gangsta rappers and contemporary comics. A key insight: posing as over-the-top, imaginary black clowns who might say or do "anything' could be as liberating and workable for African-American entertainers as for whites. This one's a valuable, gutsy book that takes on thorny topics with gusto and intelligence.
In mid-October, Louisiana music scholar Kevin Fontenot moderated a surprising, spirited panel discussion at the Country Music Hall of Fame that reunited a female trio which had been featured regularly on the historic 1950s Louisiana Hayride broadcasts—Betty Amos with Judy and Jean. Betty may be best recalled now for impeccably timed comedy and vocals with the Opry's wild Carlisles, and as composer of songs such as 'Second Fiddle to an Old Guitar," but this group, which included her sister Jean Amos and sometime manager and guitarist Judy Lee, ought to be better recalled, and the panel sure showed why. They'd recorded everything from rockabilly to the first female trucker record in a fascinating career, and since some of their out-of-print records (which ought to be officially collected) are now up on YouTube, you can hear such potent offerings as their "The Cat and the Rat," a rockabilly earworm of a tale:
The creative people at Yazoo/Shanachie records have just let loose a second volume in their salute to crazed record collectors and the difference they've made in how we hear roots music, The Return of The Stuff That Dreams Are Made Of. This 2-CD set collects—with often extraordinarily good sound quality—key records in blues and hillbilly and Cajun that would have been lost entirely if not for obsessive collectors—sides from Charlie Patton and Ernest Stoneman and Uncle Dave Macon, but also from a great many artists you'll likely never have heard of but will be glad to have heard.
And Bobby Bare (Senior) returns to the "folk country" hybrid that he was recording in the early sixties on RCA with Darker Than Light, released on the new Nashville-based Plowboy Records label. Bobby interprets such folk standards as "Boll Weevil," "Tom Dooley and "Banks of the Ohio" with the clean, affecting country simplicity of phrasing that made him a star in the first place, as well as Dylan's "Farewell Angelina" (he was an early country Dylan interpreter) and a standout, Alejandro Escovedo modern classic "I Was Drunk" for good measure, all backed by members of Robert Plant's Band of Joy. Bare will debut songs from this album on a Music City Roots broadcast November 14, the day after the CD is released.

Support building for public park to preserve Civil War 'Valley Forge' sites in central Stafford
A Union blockhouse (left) like one found near Accokeek Creek defends Stafford's Potomac Creek railroad bridge.
Visit the Photo Place
FSCWS made supervisors and planning commissioners aware of the Civil War sites in 2006, presenting a 100-page report on them and urging that they be preserved as a park with a one-lane, one-way road to provide access for visitors. Officials were asked to keep the information confidential to help save the sites, which are little known to the general public but have been dug by relic hunters since the 1950s.
Having waited two years for officials to act, FSCWS is now "impatient" to see the sites made into a park, said Glenn Trimmer, the group's director.
Trimmer said the tract is the best surviving piece of the "Valley Forge of the Civil War," the winter camps where the Union Army recovered from its defeats at Fredericksburg and Chancellorsville and in the humiliating "Mud March," and gained the strength to fight again.
"You've got to remember," he said, "soldiers left these camps and went straight to Gettysburg. If they hadn't kept this army intact, and gotten it well trained and well drilled here, Gettysburg would have been a defeat."
Author and University of Richmond instructor John W. Mountcastle and Stafford historian Al Conner urged Stafford, Fredericksburg and the R-Board officials to work quickly so the public can enjoy the sites during the Civil War's 150th anniversary, which begins in 2011.
Mountcastle said the park could be a boon to regional tourism, much like two Civil War redoubts that Williamsburg saved and opened as a park last year during Jamestown's 400th anniversary.
Kerry K. Schamel-Gonzalez, research supervisor with Dovetail Cultural Resource Group, described two archaeological studies the Fredericksburg firm has done of the tract for the R-Board.
Dovetail surveyed 12 sites, including four Civil War forts, two winter camps, a "corduroy" road built by Union troops, an 18th-century road trace and bridge site, two sandstone quarries, and 18th- and 19th-century home sites.
The forts were built to defend against a feared attack by Confederate cavalry, Schamel-Gonzalez said. A network of such earthworks protected the Union encampments in Stafford, home to at least 120,000 troops, and the army's bustling supply depot at Aquia Landing on the Potomac River.
Hennessy and others urged that the sites be put on the National Register of Historic Places, to attest to their importance and help preserve them.
Romanello, county Historical Commission Chairwoman Anita Dodd and others said it's imperative to do more archaeology on the whole tract to make sure officials know what historic sites--including Indian and Colonial ones--might be there.
At Romanello's suggestion, the principals agreed to form a small study group to hammer out the details of archaeology, preservation and park development.
In the meantime, Mikel warned that the historic area, which is posted, is being patrolled by the county Sheriff's Office. Trespassers will be arrested, he said.

DETROIT — Only months after showing off a police version of the Ford Taurus, Ford today is displaying the caped crusader's new companion, the police version of the new Ford Explorer.
It's called the "Police Interceptor utility vehicle" and like the Taurus, it's built to get at least a 20% gas-mileage boost over the Ford Crown Victoria, that mainstay police car and taxicab that's no longer going to be produced after 2011.
The new crossover SUV has a 3.5-liter V-6 engine that develops 280 horsepower and can run on E85 ethanol blend fuel. It has a six-speed automatic transmission and can carry up to 800 pounds of guns, ammo, suspects, K-9s or just about anything else police haul these days.

As the heads of C&C Landscape, brothers Celio and Celso Dias hold themselves accountable for the pristine appearance of their clients' lawns and gardens. To maintain these green expanses, the brothers and their crews rely on thorough attention to detail and keen eyes for orderliness that render yards ready for outdoor picnics or catching fireflies for use in do-it-yourself glow sticks. Homeowners can sign their yard's fur up for regular mowing services or employ the yardsmiths to install retaining walls, patios, or shrubs. Like a teenager collecting celebrity hair samples, C&C Landscape keeps an online gallery of its past handiwork. :m]]

A. Thomas & Sons' green thumbs cull multicolored flora from more than 8 acres of nursery to equip clients with the flowers needed to beautify backyards and make patios presentable. Colorful blooms, such as hydrangeas ($40) and knockout roses ($40), sit patiently with hopes of being selected to enliven drab flowerbeds or bunk beds, and mandevilla flowering vines prepare to accouter underdressed trellises, lampposts, and prom dates in sophisticated and colorful boutonnieres ($40). Hibiscus flowers complement living spaces with a touch of tropical color ($40), and large ornamental grasses grant growers the perfect building block for a human terrarium ($40). To solve garden problems beyond plant predicaments, the nursery specialists also curate a stock of wildlife feeders, wind chimes, fountains, and concrete statuaries.
Thayer Nursery, a six-acre, family-owned farm, has been showering the community with exceptional plants and gardening products since 1965. Thayer Nursery guarantees that their kiln-dried firewood contains no stowaway bugs and has moisture levels below 25%. Unlike regular seasoned wood, kiln-dried wood spends three days de-liquifying in a 200-degree kiln before it is stored safely in an element- and Hamburgler-protected barn. Because of this extra-special care, the wood burns cleaner, hotter, and longer, and it doesn't require a PhD in Boy Scouting to light. Kiln-fired logs also contain less chimney-fouling creosote. In addition to fire fuel, Thayer offers a bevy of bouncing baby nursery plants such as three-gallon potted roses ($22.50) and eight-inch mums ($9 each). Shrewd shrub-tenders can prepare their greenery for winter snows with a 40-pound bag of HollyTone fertilizer ($32) from Thayer's complete line of garden supplies. Thayer Nursery has an extensive selection of organic gardening materials and homegrown advice about sustainable growing practices. Even regular, flesh-toned thumbs can take on a Kermit hue with The Gardener's A to Z Guide to Growing Organic Food ($24.95).
Roberta Dehman Hershon founded Hope in Bloom after her lifelong friend and fellow gardener died of breast cancer in 2005. The organization designs and installs indoor and outdoor gardens at the homes of Massachusetts residents who are undergoing treatment for breast cancer. With gardens tailored to each individual's living space and lifestyle, they serve as tranquil sanctuaries and have helped improve the quality of life for women and men with breast cancer and their families during what is often a stressful time.
