Detectives who combed bluffs and a slightly wooded area of waterfront property near River Canyon Trail along the Tennessee River this week were looking for the skeletal remains of women who possibly were dumped there by a serial killer.
"We don't have anything to substantiate it at this point," Hamilton County Sheriff Jim Hammond said when asked about the possibility of a serial killer.
"We're just looking at whether or not there's credibility at this time."
The search for remains in the same location where the bones of 33-year-old Melissa Ward were found nearly seven years ago was suspended Friday, sheriff's Capt. Bill Johnson said.
"Right now, we're evaluating it," he said. "It doesn't mean we won't go back out there."
Investigators have identified people of interest in the case, but have declined to release any details.
Lawrence Kobilinsky, professor and chairman of the Department of Sciences at John Jay College of Criminal Justice in New York, said serial killers typically commit three or more homicides with a significant pause in between. If the time between deaths is close, it's considered a spree, he said.
A search for remains several years later can be challenging for law enforcement, Kobilinsky said.
"Soft tissue is gone. There's only bones. Bones are going to get scattered by animals. You're not going to find all the bones in one place. They may be within 400 to 500 feet within the center of where the bodies were first deposited," Kobilinsky said.
He said investigators may use a helicopter, ground searches and revisit missing persons lists.
"There's got to be a very comprehensive search. That's going to require huge police resources. They are going to have to search that entire area on foot, looking through that area," Kobilinsky said.
Ward was last seen Oct. 29, 2004, getting into a red pickup with a white camper top at a Bi-Lo parking lot. She was reported missing Nov. 2, and her skeletal remains were discovered Dec. 5, 2004.
Strangely enough, Bryan Hoss, a local defense attorney who has represented accused killers, discovered Ward's remains.
He said he was at lunch in fall 2004 looking at the real estate section of the Chattanooga Times Free Press when he saw an ad for waterfront property. The property, along Cash Canyon Road, was for sale.
"I ended up meeting a guy out there on the property. It's beautiful out there," he said, describing a series of bluffs, forests and grassy areas beside the river. "We started walking on the bluff lots. I came upon this small trail and saw all these curved bones lying along the trail, scattered everywhere."
Hoss said the man he was with first thought they appeared to be deer bones until more distinctive bones were discovered, including a spinal column and skull.
Investigators are trying to interview people of interest and say they hope they will find physical evidence.
"We're just trying to gather enough evidence to see if this is something we can pursue," Hammond said.
Even if a suspect confesses or someone provides important information to detectives and remains are found, detectives still need a link, Kobilinsky said.
"The most crucial aspect is identifying the victims. They might be able to do that with good police work, good detective work and possibly DNA. Once they know the identity of the victims, why were these people chosen to be killed? Were they prostitutes? Were they men, women, children? How did they put themselves at risk?" he said.
Ward had a record of prostitution and drug use, according to Hamilton County General Sessions Court records.
Serial killers often have a history of abuse and a record of committing lesser crimes, Kobilinsky said.
"Usually, there is a history discovered after they are caught," he said.
Anyone with any information is asked to call sheriff's Lt. Chris Chambers at 423-209-8940.

FORT BELVOIR, Va. – Tens of thousands of military veterans who have been enduring long waits for medical care are expected to be able to turn to private doctors under a law signed Thursday by President Barack Obama.
Other changes will take longer under the $16.3 billion law, which is the government's most sweeping response to the problems that have rocked the Veterans Affairs Department and led to the dismissalof Eric Shinseki as VA secretary.
Improved access to outside care is likely to be the most immediate effect. Veterans who have waited at least a month for a medical appointment or who live at least 40 miles from a Veterans Affairs hospital or clinic will be able to see private doctors at government expense.
Expanding the VA staff by hiring thousands of doctors, nurses and mental health counselors,another key component of the law, will take months to get underway and years to complete, VA officials said.
"Implementing this law will take time," Obama acknowledged as he signed the bill at Fort Belvoir, an Army base in Virginia just outside Washington.
He also said more action was needed. "This will not and cannot be the end of our effort," he said. "And even as we focus on the urgent reforms we need at the VA right now, particularly around wait lists and the health care system, we can't lose sight of our long-term goals for our service members and our veterans."
Paul Rieckhoff, founder and CEO of Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America, called the new law "a Band-Aid solution."
"Anybody who thinks this is going to fix the problem is not being honest about this," Rieckhoff said, citing a host of issues the bill leaves unaddressed, from veterans' suicides and homelessness to a backlog in disability claims.
Daniel Dellinger, national commander of the American Legion, the nation's largest veterans group, called the bill an important step to begin repairing problems at the VA.
The measure, approved overwhelmingly in the House and Senate, is a response to reports of veterans dying while awaiting appointments to see VA doctors and of a widespread practice of employees covering up monthslong wait times for appointments. In some cases, employees received bonuses based on falsified records.
Under the new law, employment rules will be revised to make it easier to fire senior VA executives judged to be negligent or performing poorly.
The law devotes $10 billion in emergency spending over three years to pay private doctors and other health professionals to care for qualifying veterans who can't get timely appointments at VA hospitals or clinics or who live more than 40 miles from one of them. It includes $5 billion for hiring more VA doctors, nurses and other medical staff and $1.3 billion to open 27 new VA clinics across the country.
Veterans groups said that just as important as the new law will be the performance of new VA Secretary Robert McDonald, who was present for Thursday's bill-signing. McDonald has pledged to transform the VA and has said improving patient access to health care is a priority, along with restoring transparency, accountability and integrity to the agency.
The VA has reported recent progress in reducing delays. VA data from mid-July showed about 35,000 veterans had waited at least 90 days for initial appointments, down from 57,000 in mid-May.

Album Review: George Strait – Troubadour
George Strait has a knack for choosing the right songs, which has helped him remain a constant on the charts over the past twenty seven years, so it's hard not to jump on his bandwagon and praise everything he does. His twenty-fifth studio album, Troubadour, no doubt contains some strong singles and has him stretching his artistic wings when compared to his recent efforts, but a few song choices keep the album from being better than slightly above average.
Vince Gill joins in on the title track, lending background vocals as Strait sings about being an old troubadour while reflecting on his younger days and knowing he'll always be the same–until he's gone. It's an introspective look at his career and what's to come and seemingly raises the question, "What will country music be without George Strait?"
"It Was Me" follows and sounds like a typical Strait song, and although it's slightly reminiscent of Brad Paisley's "We Danced," it's enjoyable. Kenny Chesney would be proud of the next couple of songs; "Brothers Of The Highway" bluntly drops a pirate ship in the middle of the chorus and "River of Love" has an island vibe going on. Along with the overwrought and rehashed "Give Me More Time," these three are among the weaker tracks on the album.
"House of Cash" is a duet with Patty Loveless about the burning of Johnny and June's house and while sonically pleasing, the lyric comes off as a little too contrived. Following "House of Cash" are four of the strongest songs on Troubadour: "When You're In Love," "Make Her Fall In Love With Me," "West Texas Town," and "House With No Doors."
"Make Her Fall In Love With Me" is a toe tappin' little ditty that sets up the western swing duet, "West Texas Town", with Dean Dillon that was written by Robert Earl Keen and Dillon. It's a great track that's impossible not to enjoy if you like King George and it's surprising that Ray Benson's name isn't somewhere in the credits.
Perhaps the strongest song on the album is "House With No Doors," penned by Kacey Coppola, Kate Coppola, and Jamey Johnson. Strait tries to convince a man with a heartache that he can't build a house with no doors to keep a woman who doesn't love him, as he sings "And if there ain't one, she'll make one / Either way, she'll run / And leave you a house with a hole for a door." The album closes with "If Heartaches Were Horses," a song that laments the prevalence of heartaches and hard times, spun into a western theme while painting some great imagery.
Overall, George Strait delivers what his fans have come to expect from him on Troubadour and other than a couple of songs, it's a solid album that should garner him a few more number ones and thankfully delays the answer to the question, "What would country music be without George Strait?"

Brody, I agree. Whatever Jimmy Buffett virus is going around country music I hope there's a cure soon.
So, ya give it a 3.5 instead of a 4 just to spite me? That's cool I reckon dawg.
I whole-heartedly agree with this review. Great job. "House with No Doors" is classic Strait. Jamey Johnson is on fire with the material he's been writing recently, and I'd love to hear his version as well.
I also have a question about the last track. The lyrics go "If heartaches were horses, and hard times were cattle/I'd ride home at sunset sittin tall in the saddle/If heartaches were horses and hard times were cattle"
Obviously Strait gives it a melancholy vocal, but something throws me off. If you are in control of the horse, and are controlling the cattle, wouldn't that mean you are in control of heartaches and hard times? The verses indicate that this person isn't in control and their lover is leaving them… I'm experiencing a disconnect somewhere in there.
I think the operative word is "If." Like heartaches and hard times aren't cattle and horses, therefore he has no control over them.
The cd is okay. I've been a fan of GS for over 22 years. As with his cds of the last 10-12 years. I miss the old George. Were I like each track. This has 4 plus tracks I'm not impressed with. Maybe after more listens I can warm up to them.
Anyone else notice the simple designs for his album covers recently?
Ok not to be offensive or anything but you must have only listened to this album once all the way through? I mean lets be serious here the song "when your in love" is not one of the strongest tracks on this album, if anything it's the weakest due to the whole "island" theme.Oh and further more the whole "lets complain about kenny chesney" needs to stop cause he's slowly coming back to traditional music just give it time! But to continue my thoughts on the Strait album you completely forgot about "troubador" which is one of the strongest tracks on this album! Also "river of love" is not so much an island theme as it is a calypso (forgive the spelling)which is more of a new orleans type theme so the "island" argument isn't justified. Again this is my opinion, and I mean no offense but this album deserves more than just one listen it deserves at least 5 or 6 before writing a truthful review!
I have to agree with the 3 1/2 star rating. I probably would only give it 3 stars.
Really liked the album, Troubador is my favorite track. Brothers of the Highway, If Heartaches Were Horses, and House with no Doors, are also favs. I like, House of Cash, too but something throws me off …."and the ring of fire comes full circle and the ring of fire goes all the way around" I am always waiting for the "shoe to drop" it feels incomplete.
Side Note: Saw Strait in March still puts on an amazing show, He played a Only Daddy That'll Walk the Line in the encore as well as Folsom Prison Blues.

A little about me...
What can I say - lover of children, animals, books, trees and baseball. How eclectic is that? I always thought I belonged on a little farmette where I could plant oak, walnut, apple and plum trees, keep a couple of those little fainting goats and let my dogs run to their hearts content. Maybe have a field of wildflowers too! There you go, that's me.
About the one I'm looking for...
I am looking for someone that enjoys walking and time spent together. It is very meaningful to me to make decisions as a couple and share your thoughts. I am a kind person, but I can be a tiger too!
I'd just like to add...
I have 2 dogs that are very much a part of my life - they take me for walks everyday! I enjoy fixing up my home and I try to garden, but no green thumb here. I would love to travel and see all parts of the world, even just to walk in new and foreign places sounds wonderful to me.

Printable View
How do you deal with your clients in reguards to hosting. Its just I have a couple of jobs coming up. Do you host them yourself or just point them into the right direction of a good host and use them?
Depends on the technical requirements, service provided and likely support level needed. Sometimes if you know that the client is likely to spend hours on the phone asking about configuring ftp, outlook, how to click stuff in a control panel i.e they need a lot of hand holding, then it's not worth it unless they have an additional support contract that covers the extra workload, it's best to use a 3rd party that will deal with secondary support issues.
Other times, if the client is likely to source unsuitable or plain cheap rubbish hosting by themselves that will hinder a project, then you're better to supply a good provision yourself to ensure ongoing performance of the site. Many clients will want hosting as part of the overall service you are offering them, and won't want to deal with a seperate supplier for their website hosting.
A good answer but, as for me, I value my product (websites) and prefer to act as their host in addition to developing their websites so I can be assured of server features.
Yes, support IS required and paid on an accrual basis. I specialize in writing backends which allow clients to update their own websites (limiting my "secretarial work" for them) and that tends to keep the nonsense down, too.
On the rare occasion of a problem, they (and I) know who the responsible party is: No time wasted finger-pointing! I take care of them and they pay the bills for what WE believe are beautiful and functional websites.
I'd host them. It's another good chance to rip them off.
But that said, expanding into the entire business chain can be good in many ways for the development of your company.
I'd say that for most people the best option would be to suggest a quality host and see if you can get a referral fee on it.
Depending on your situation you could be getting in way over your head. Running a hosting business is more demanding than almost anyone getting into it thinks.
So im thinking of buying a reseller hosting account then, would that be the right path?
Be very wary of a reseller account as it's on a shared server and that WILL (it did for me) cause my (and my clients) to be blacklisted because other users were spamming. I moved to a VPS to eliminate this problem (the EXIM server is MINE).

By the numbers: Fixed broadband does the heavy lifting
Summary: The latest ABS figures should finally put to rest any crazy notion that wireless is killing demand for fixed broadband.
The last year has seen a huge rise in demand for mobile broadband (tablets and computers connected by a SIM or dongle, not handsets). The number of subscribers in June 2012 was 5.9 million, up 22 percent. Yet, there's clearly no substitution for fixed services, which have also gone up, albeit by a modest 3 percent for DSL and 4 percent for cable.
These latest figures from the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) seem to support my assertion last week that given the choice, most people will choose a fixed connection as their primary internet source. Mobile broadband adds extra flexibility to our lives, but we're quick to replace wireless as a fixed connection if we have the chance (fixed-wireless connections have fallen 4 percent over the last year to just 30,000 subscribers).
The reason, of course, is our quest for speed. When faster speeds are available, consumers quickly gravitate toward them. Just three years ago, one third of home subscribers were connected at speeds of 8Mbps or more; today, it's well over half, with almost a quarter of those at 24Mbps or greater. The rate of adoption of these high speeds has slowed over the last year, but that's probably a reflection of exhausting the geographic reach of DSL2+ services, rather than any slowing in demand.
Fixed connections also cure our hunger for downloads; just 6 percent of data is downloaded from a wireless connection, a slight drop on a year ago. According to the ABS data in the June 2012 quarter, 5.7 million wireless subscribers downloaded 25,301 terabytes of data — a little over 1 gigabyte each per month. Compare that to the fixed-line world, where 5.6 million subscribers have downloaded 389,130 terabytes of data, about 17 gigabytes each per month.
Clearly, we're using our fixed-line connections for heavy lifting, and that situation isn't going to change anytime soon, if ever. Downloads from the average fixed-line user have increased almost 50 percent over the last year, but just 11 percent for the average mobile user.
Is that enough to end the discussion that mobile connectivity can ever replace the strength of the fixed line?

Director: Rocky Morton, Annabel Jankel
Although ostensibly a remake of Rudolph Mate's 1950 film noir classic, D. O. A. has undergone major structural changes, courtesy of screenwriter Charles Edward Pogue (The Fly, Psycho III), which gives this playful update a high-tech vitality without sacrificing the potboiler punch of the original's central paradox in which an emotionally dead man finally comes to life when he realises that he is dying.
Dexter Cornell (Dennis Quaid) plays an emotionally burnt-out English college professor and blocked novelist, employed at a Texas university, who inadvertently swallows a fatal dose of slow-acting poison. With only a day or so to live, he sets out in pursuit of his own murderer.
To complicate matters he finds himself caught up in a series of murders including the suicide of one of his most outstanding students, who has written a manuscript called Out Of Whack.
The complex trial of clues leads him to an adoring freshman (Meg Ryan), his unhappy wife {Jane Kaczmarek) and icy, aloof millionaire (Charlotte Rampling).
Witty cultural and literary allusions pepper the scenario and give the campus milieu a refreshing lived-in quality as, for example, when a detective thumbing through Dexter's first novel remarks: Thematically it's a little dated, but the prose style holds up'.
The directing team of Rocky Morton and Annabel Jankel, creators of Max Headroom, display an obvious interest in film as a visual, rather than narrative art. Although the opening and closing sequences are shot in stark, grainy black-and-white as an homage to classical film noir the overall visual design is 'tech noir' which the filmmakers describe as' a paranoia for modem technology'. Produced by Disney's Touchstone subsidiary, D.O.A. is a fine example of passionate, eccentric filmmaking that still manages to squeeze through Hollywood's mainstream. - (PH)

Eastsound House Rental Photos and Description
House, 5 Bedrooms, 3 Baths, (Sleeps 12)
Nestled on five pristine acres just inland from the waters of East Sound, and poised on the northern end of the San Juan National Wildlife Refuge, this lovely and spacious East Sound vacation rental home with room for fourteen is waiting to be your home base as you explore the beauty and diversity of the Orcas Islands. With five bedrooms, three bathrooms, and two full kitchens, it's the perfect haven for your family getaway, reunion, or business retreat. You'll be just five miles from busy Eastsound where you'll find several restaurants, numerous gift stores, and a large grocery store.
Cedar Field has plenty of living area for everyone, whether you want to get together and chat, or go your separate ways. With lots of comfortable nooks and crannies, there are plenty of places to escape with a book, a sketchbook, or a laptop (free WIFI). When it's cold and rainy, you can snuggle up by the wood fireplace upstairs, or the woodstove downstairs. Stream a show on Netflix, or grab DVD from the library and pass the time with a movie. And when the weather's nice, there are simpler pleasures out on the big deck where you'll be beguiled by the amazing views of Turtleback Mountain and Crow Valley.
This bi-level gem has five bedrooms across two independent living areas and is perfect for two families or groups who want the option of a little more privacy. Two of the cozy bedrooms are upstairs, each with a queen bed, each smartly decorated with wood floors covered with area rugs, and plenty of closet and drawer space. Head downstairs where you'll find three more comfortable bedrooms, two of which also have queen beds. Put the kids in the fifth bedroom downstairs on its two twin beds. And a big group needs lots of bathrooms; no problem. This lovely home has three full baths, one of which has a deep soaking tub where you can take turns relaxing in its bubbly warmth. There's a washer and dryer, too, so you'll always have a fresh change of clothes.
Whether you're staying upstairs or down, you'll have access to a fully equipped kitchen. Each has the requisite stove, microwave, and dishwasher you'd expect to make both meals and clean ups quick and easy. Both are roomy and have all the pots, pans, utensils and cutlery you'll need to feed your hungry clan. Enjoy your meals at the dining tables on each level. On those days when the clouds over Puget part and the skies light up with sunshine, there are two grills outside - a gas grill and a charcoal - just waiting for your hamburgers, steaks, or salmon. And just for fun, get a blaze going in the firepit and have some fun under the Northwest sky!
When you step onto Orcas Island, you step back in time! Less developed than its neighbor, San Juan Island, the island is a sea of green filled with gorgeous red madrone trees and lush foliage. With 40 miles of trails to explore, it's a hiker and cyclist's dream! Bring the camera to the top of Mount Constitution and get some breathtaking shots. Bring your appetite to one of the many eateries in Eastsound where you'll also find some wonderful shops where you can purchase every manner of pottery or artwork. Visit the farmer's market at the nearby public park. Or, just grab the equipment right there at the home and enjoy a fun game of horseshoes, volleyball, croquet, or badminton.

COLLIER COUNTY, Fla - A scam targets a high end home in one of Naples most expensive neighborhoods. The crooks take listings off legitimate real estate websites and re-post them for a fraction of the price.
The Collier County Sheriff's Office gets rental scam reports on a weekly basis, but this was the first time they saw a listing on a legitimate rental website.
With the season fast approaching, rental properties in Naples are in high demand. WINK News found a three bedroom, 2,000 square foot home in the prestigious Aqualane Shores neighborhood on Trulia.com last week. The advertisement describes an updated beach cottage, with a pool, walking distance to the beach and downtown Naples all for $800/month with a $400 deposit.
"Anyone who knows the town would know it really didn't make sense, but someone who is not in town wouldn't necessarily know right off the bat that's way out of line for the area," says Lee Leatherwood, the broker for Premier Sotheby's Realty. She was shocked when she found out her listing fell victim to the scam that really rents out for $10,000/month.
"The public should be aware that this is going on," says Leatherwood.
The current renter declined an interview, but says people have been stopping by all week long to look at the property and all had received the same email from someone using the name John Larson. The email says, "you are welcome to rent and stay for any period of years as you wishes. You can drive by my house today, then get back to me so we can proceed with the rental plan."
Lt. Chad Parker with the Collier County Sheriff's Office says the scams usually come from overseas, meaning their hands are tied. "In this case we tried calling the number and it says out of service already so they use the phone temporarily to commit a bunch of scams in a short period of time and they get rid of the phone and the phone number."
Leatherwood adds, "if it looks wrong, it probably is wrong. If someone is asking for money, that's a red flag."
The Sheriff's Office says if you see a possible rental scam online you should flag the post and within 45 minutes the ad will be removed.

With hairspray to spare, get the lowdown on the members of the new hit reality show. By Ysolt Usigan

Referring to herself as "the Kim Kardashian of Staten Island," the 22-year-old (who has a boyfriend) says she doesn't go out looking for guys -- they find her. Her theory? She thinks it might have something to do with her "real boobs and fat a--." After arriving in the house with a garbage bag instead of luggage (which her housemates think is "ghetto"), it's not long before the outspoken New York native starts to stir up trouble.

By Bad Man | Follow on Twitter
Are Superheroes Sexist?
Sexism in comics is not at all a new portrayal. The fantasy playground for generations of men since the late 1930′s, comics have seen women go through various incarnations whether it be: Scantily clad crime fighting vixens, plucky gal reporters, subconsciously over-sexual Amazons, seductive villainesses, spunky teen side-kicks or strong feminine role models – the list goes on and not to everybodies approval.
And it's hard to dismiss claims that women have been stereotyped, objectified and at times degraded over the history of comics. And while we enter into a new era of a more inclusive bull penn of writers with a more layered approach to female characters, the old ghosts of sexist past still linger on many a comics page and the issue is far from being put to bed.
This article is in essence a reaction to that, and to two very prominent bits of scandal that rung out across the comics community recently: The objectification of Catwoman and the Hyper-sexualisation of Starfire (formerly of Teen titans, currently of Red Hood and the Outlaws affiliation).
Both characters in their respective titles saw a wave of disapproval from many readers come their way due to their recent depiction in DC's New 52 relaunch. I'm not going to judge the way those characters were portrayed on here, but what I am going to do is provide you with is both sides of the argument. So below without further ado are some points on the existence of sexism in comics, what's being done to amend things and where the accusers have simply and got it wrong :
The Eye Candy Argument
When you read a comic, any comic really, but mostly those of the superhero variety, the majority (by which I mean 99.9% of the cast, including background extras) are incredibly athletic, muscular, attractive and in the case of the heroines stacked to the rafters. This is made slightly more obvious for women in comics, when they are rendered most often in glorified stripper outfits striking poses that would make a porn actress blush, all the while saving the day in a thong made out of dental floss.
This isn't an issue for the overly muscled male heroes who are comfortably covered by (up until recently) their underwear on the outside with everything downstairs nice and strapped down. But for women in comics they aren't just bearing a lot of flesh, they are being objectified (to an extent) with their revealing outfits and poses right out of Hustler.
Now as the sole stomping ground of men, only recently infiltrated by women, comics have had a tendency to draw fantasy class porno model heroines and have made no apologies about it. And in honesty there is absolutely no defending the renditions (yet, keep reading) other than to say the male audience who enjoys seeing super-heroines in swim suits are totally appreciative of the eye candy on offer.
Now some women, (but not all) who read comics are obviously going to have issues with this, and although there are comics out there written by female writers or effectively handled by male writers that portray strong, interesting, well developed female characters (Wonder Woman, Batwoman, Storm and Rogue spring to mind) there is always going to be that level of sexualisation attached that would seek to undermine this.
Wonder Woman may now be regarded as a feminist Icon due to her strength and equality among the most powerful men in the DCU. Batwoman is one of the most well rounded characters from a cultural, religious and sexual perspective. Starfire may be a strong, independent and in control of her sexuality woman (albeit of extraterrestrial origin). But none of this will detract from the imagery, which is all of these characters are drawn as incredibly hot women, in some very revealing outfits.
Adage Rules
Yes, the men are as fit and handsome, but are the women actively objectified? Quite possibly, and when it comes down to it, these depictions can be summed up with a very simple adage: Sex sells. And this applies across a much broader range of industry than just comics.
Is it right? Thats a question you will have to decide for yourselves. The Comics industry does it as much as the Games industry or the Movie Industry or the Music Industry. We wouldn't take an interest in Lady Gaga half as much if she wore a shroud or a Burka. Who would be interested in Lara Croft if she kicked ass in a frumpy dress? Megan Fox doesn't get movie roles because of her incredible acting ability.
So if you want to condemn Marvel for depicting Ms Marvel wearing a swimsuit that's been artistically poured on over her top ten physique in order to fight Galactus when the planets in danger, then call for a halt to all Bra ads, say goodbye to Chun Li from Street Fighter, ban Beer commercials featuring hot women, cancel fashion shoots, FHM covers and music videos where Beyonce gratuitously shakes her ass.
This effectively objectifies women, sells millions, makes companies millions and the women who work for them millions too. And they love it. The difference is, the women in comics are portrayed and not paid. They are fantasy creations of the guys who write them and this is the root of the problem or perceived problem. But again this is slowly but surely on the change.
My advice for anyone having problems with this type of comic, marketing and or product is this: the best solution, in fact the only solution is not to buy it. Because in not buying it you make your point clearer than any complaint. Because complaints don't strike at the pocket.
It's a Man's World
As mentioned in the above segment, the comics industry has up until lately been a largely male one. With the exception of very few titles, the majority on the racks are male written and male drawn, and this has been the staple diet of comic book creative teams for decades.
This of course is changing. Nowadays there are a lot more female voices being heard not just among the writing community but among the fans. Complaints about the lack of female writers have been heard by the major comics giants (most notably DC) and they are being addressed in the creative teams and in the depictions of their female characters across the board. Female writers currently working in the big leagues are Ann Nocenti (Green Arrow and creator of Typhoid Mary and Longshot), Lynn Varley (anything by Frank Miller), Louise Simonson (Power Pack), June Brigman (Power Pack artist), Gail Simone (Secret Six,), Marjorie Liu (Daken: Dark Wolverine, X-23) and Devin Grayson (Batman) but to name a few.
The Gender Validator
But Marvel, DC, Image and beyond have always had strong female characters regardless of the gender behind the pen. And as I previously mentioned these characters have unfortunately been at times overlooked due to their overtly revealing outfits.
Storm from X-Men is one of the strongest females (and ethnic females at that) ever portrayed in comics, thanks largely to the work of X-writer and visionary Chris Clairemont. Jessica Drew is one of the most realistic and entertaining portrayals of a female heroine ever penned in Alias thanks to writer Brian Michael Bendis. Scandal Savage is not only a ruthless killer and a born leader with real life issues, but she expresses an explored sexuality that rounds her out as an outstanding anti-heroine under the guidance of series writer Gail Simone in Secret Six. And these are just a few examples (Wonder Woman, Rogue, WitchBlade, Kitty Pride, Jean Grey, Selina Kyle, Emma Frost, The Magdalena, Mystique, Ms Marvel, Buffy) the list goes on and on.
All of these characters are brilliant, strong and interesting women commonly written off by critics or naysayers as sexist or degrading due to the choice of attire. But just like Superman's long time wearing of his red Y's on the outside that frankly look ridiculous, it's most often the case that the costume of the character doesn't affect the layers of quality invested in the writing of them. For example Electra may dress like a ninja hooker, but as a reader I still view her as a deadly assassin and a multi-layered character with a deep and complex past.
Educational Consultant and creator of Wonder Woman William Moutlon Martson once wrote of his heroine:
"Not even girls want to be girls so long as our feminine archetype lacks force, strength, and power. Not wanting to be girls, they don't want to be tender, submissive, peace-loving as good women are. Women's strong qualities have become despised because of their weakness. The obvious remedy is to create a feminine character with all the strength of Superman plus all the allure of a good and beautiful woman."
In short, it's easy to be pass remarkable about the fantastical depictions of heroines (and indeed heroes) in comics. They dress flamboyantly, sexually and can at times be depicted in a way that would seem to appease the appetites of the (largely) male creators who write and draw them. But the same characters are now being equally portrayed by women writers, which is not to undermine the male writing that has went before. It's more the case that the women who write comics now are helping legitimise it.
The Fan Feeling
It seems that a lot of the critics of sexism or implied sexism in comics come from outside of the comic community, from folks who don't actively read comics themselves. And again this isn't exactly new from the whole prejudice stance. Even the infamous Fredric Wertham, the psychiatrist best renowned for whipping up a frenzy of anti-comic book propaganda with his notorious 1954 bestseller called "Seduction of the Innocent" extolling the dangers lurking in comic books, wasn't an avid comic book reader. His bold as brass statment; "I think Hitler was a beginner compared to the comic-book industry," showed just how little he knew about the subject material, instead reverting to making sensationalist statements to sell his book.
But the concerned parents of today needn't be so concerned about the sexy, violent fantasy content of comics if they stopped for five seconds to read the label rating to ensure that little Joanie/Johnny isn't reading something unsuitable for her/his age bracket. And like I've optioned: if your a strong feminist and feel that women are degraded by sexy outfits then simply don't read the title. And on the off chance that your a guy who feels downtrodden and insecure by the overly muscular depictions of male Adonis' that stride the inside of most comics, then the same applies.
But the above criticisms seem to be in the minority. Men who read comics don't have a problem with the depictions of the fantasy characters they read about, and nowadays neither do the majority of women readers. Perhaps one of the biggest and best celebrations of this is Cosplay where both male and female fans dress up as their favorite super-types and go to conventions to celebrate their love of the characters by becoming them, themselves.
The guys love to dress up as male superhero power figures and the gal's as opposed to viewing their superhero choices as slutty or degrading to women, see them as sexy and empowering. These women celebrate their comics icons by looking flamboyant, over the top fantastical and gorgeous. Are they objectifying women or degrading them by parading around conventions in outfits designed to catch the male eye? It's doubtful they would think so.
The Cosplay Reclaim
If anything these women are empowered, sexy and in command of themselves. They have the balls to dress this way and it looks great. Girls love it, the guys definitely love it, but overall the fans love it. Could it be misconstrued as sexist and objectifying? Only if those girls who enjoy Cosplaying choose to stand for the accusation, and they don't. As gorgeous, glamorous and empowered women they are anything but. They are capitalising on their brilliant skills to craft awesome costumes and wear them with absolute pride. So if looking great and showing yourself off is a crime, then arguably the fashion industry needs to be dismantled and women need to be covered up to protect them from the ever wandering 'guy eye' that would seek to stigmatise them as a simple object of lust.
This, is obviously a hypothetical fascist move and thus will never happen. Because women enjoy being sexy for themselves, for each other and for the guys who admire them for it. This is the reason why women have glamorous women on the covers of magazines specifically targeted at women. And guys should realise that when women dress to impress, it's to actually impress other women. Not men.
This relates back to comics in that we are judging an industry that depicts sexy, often scantily clad women (albeit strong, feminine and multi-faceted women). But what critics have failed to account for is that women like to be viewed as strong and sexy. The fans of these comics, both male and female love reading about the exploits of these over the top looking fantasy characters instilled with real values that can make us relate.
So are comics sexist? It seems they can definitely be viewed as such by the casual observer. They could be seen as a male dominated industry depicting women from a male fantasy perspective. But with the industry changing and for the better, more women are legitimising comics now as more than just a male interest, both as fans and as writers. These women are passionate and interested, and will soon be equally represented.
So again, are comics sexist? Maybe once, but not for long.

SHERMAN, Tex. -- A group of Austin College students have packed up their suitcases and are headed to New Orleans for Spring Break, but not to party like other college students will be this month. This group is heading southeast to help rebuild homes.
This is the third annual trip for nearly fifty students and teachers since Hurricane Katrina ravaged the New Orleans area in 2005. The group will help clean out some of the homes still in ruins and start rebuilding others they have cleaned the last two times they were in Louisiana.
Students say they are willing to give up their spring break if it means helping others in need.
The group is scheduled to return to Texas next Wednesday night.

Newcastle coach Willie Donachie has been suspended by the club, Sky Sports has reported.
The exact reason for Donachie's suspension has not been revealed but Sky Sports alleges the former Scotland international, now reserve team manager on Tyneside, struck a player.
Donachie joined Newcastle in 2009 and has held a number of positions within the youth set-up at St James' Park.
The 62-year-old started his playing days at Manchester City, spending 12 years at what was then Maine Road. Donachie, a left-back, also played for United States side Portland Timbers, Norwich City and Burnley before ending his career at Oldham in 1990.
He was assistant manager to Joe Royle at the Latics and followed Royle to Everton, working under Royle again when Royle became City manager.
Donachie joined up with Royle for a third time at Ipswich Town and had a brief spell under Nigel Spackman at Millwall, later replacing Spackman as manager, spending a year in charge at the London club.
His playing days also took in a number of games for Scotland, playing 35 times between 1972 and 1978.

Today I will go over my online business with AdSense. Over the past several months I have been working day and night trying to earn a steady income through AdSense. I just passed the $100 threshold on the 7th of December. In order for AdSense to pay you, you need to earn $100. It took 10,916 page views, 425 ad clicks and just over three months to complete. I am not sure what the actual amount is but I work at a rate of about 10¢ per hour. All in hopes to make decent living while traveling the world and spending time with my family!
Google AdSense is great because you will always have companies advertising on your site. Another great feature is the better your site gets through social media popularity, website content and keywords, the more you will get per click. Companies use a Google AdWords account to create and bid their ads to go onto the web. The highest bidder gets their ad on a website.
My job is to write good content, use keywords, build a social network and place the best ad in the best location on my web pages. I choose different ad shapes and sizes, text ads, picture ads, and even what type of advertising they show. They range from business entrepreneur classes to web development. The way that I pick and choose is I just follow what Google suggests for me. I also look at my reports to find out what ads are getting clicked, how much I'm getting paid for those click and then tweaking my other ads to match up. The ads on a web page need to be well balanced and fit in. I go to other websites more popular than mine or at least ones that I think are successful and try to get inspiration from what they have.

Hi truthordarepics,
My wife always took pride in her bush and I always agreeded. But after seeing some shaved pussies I thought that it was something that we should try ourselves. I was the only one that liked the idea actually. At first she started slowly with reducing the bush size, but finally after a long time of begging she finally gave in. Here is the result. - Dennis

Non-refridgerated Food for Senior
- c
- Cheryl Thunder Bay Mar 23, 2011 07:34 AM
I am trying to find a way to make sure my 80 year old Mother gets a decent lunch. I need to know what can be set up in advance (plate of food) that can sit on her table for her to eat for as long as 2-3 days. No cooking, no microwave, no hard to chew items. She is diabetic (still needs some sugar) and can not chew well.
I know that honey/peanut butter is fine & tons of condiments, but would like to get lunches ready ahead of time & leave them for her to eat when she gets hungry.
May I ask why they would have to sit on the table, rather than being in the refrigerator? If they can be kept cold, your options are huge.
If she cannot feed herself, open containers, heat items from the refrigerator, make a sandwich or boil water, she should not be living alone.
Diabetics need to have food at regular intervals. Meals on Wheels provides that service for many elderly.
Please consult a nutritionist or her physician or some professional. This public board is not a place you should be consulting for proper nutrition.
Why does the food have to sit out for 2 or 3 days?
Couldn't you make several sandwiched for her in advance, wrap them, and put them in the refrigerator or in a cooler for her? You could set her up with fruit, individually wrapped snacks (like they sell for kid's lunches), drinks, hard boiled eggs, yogurt, pudding, that kind of stuff. She wouldn't need to cook or heat a sandwich. Or even fried chicken and potato salad, There's nothing wrong with cold chicken.
If that's too hard to chew, what about an assortment of salads, like egg, tuna, chicken, or shrimp, and some soft rolls?
Do you have a Meals on Wheels in your city? They deliver a hot meal at noontime and usually a sack lunch that they will put into the frig. It may not be the tastiest food in the world, but it is hot and made that morning, and will be delivered by someone who cares about their clients.
Actually, I have another question.
If the lunch needs to sit out for 2 or 3 days, who is making breakfast and dinner?
I guess I should have added more info. She has Alzheimer's & is in an Assisted Living Facility which provides Lunch & Dinner. When she doesn't "like" what is there for Lunch or doesn't want to go for lunch (she gets lost/forgets to go) then she doesn't eat anything. While there are staff who check & remind, some people get lost in the shuffle. Yesterday she had such low blood sugar, it became scary. She doesn't want her family 'hovering' so I thought that if food was just there, there might be less of the low blood sugar, which adds to the dementia symptoms.
re: Cheryl Thunder Bay
Cheryl, Both of my parents had dementia and lived in a facility. If this place allows her to "get lost" and "forget to go" to lunch, something is mightly wrong there. When someone has Alzheimer's, there is no such thing as not "hovering" and your mother does not have the mental capacity to make decisions for herself. You say there is her family...does that mean a number of people who are related to her and live nearby? If so, maybe you need to set up a rotation of lunch days so there is someone assigned to have lunch with her each day. In general, the residents who have family members there checking in and checking on their loved one are the residents who get the best care.....be the squeaky wheel for your Mom. It's not easy, but worth in in the end. My best to you and your mom.
My mother also has Alzheimer's and is in an ALF. If your mom is at an early stage of Alzheimer's, you could try calling her on your lunch hour to remind her to go down to the dining hall for her meals. If a phone call reminder doesn't work, then she probably needs more care than she's getting.
I wouldn't worry too much about putting plated meals out. I'd focus on shelf stable snacks that will hold her over until her next meal. Food you can leave out for her won't necessarily be great foods for diabetics, but could include:
Ensure shakes
Fruit cups
Pudding cups
Tuna in a package
Granola bars
Packages of peanuts
Folks, we know everyone meant well, but we had to remove some off topic posts about dealing with an assisted living facility. We have a very narrow mission on Chowhound, and that's just too far afield for us.
Please keep replies focused on helping the original poster find shelf stable foods for her mother.
Finding shelf stable foods for your mother could be very difficult. You might want to talk with the Alzheimer's Association at this internet address:http://www.sanalz.org/site/PageServer... as well as the staff and your mother's assisted living facility to find out what might be the best choices for your mother. Take care of yourself.
hard boiled eggs
cans of tuna, crab or chicken - which can be mixed with mayo
they also have salmon & other pieces of fish in packages
cereal like wheat puffs or cheerios
they have individual servings of hummus & pretzel chips
ensure shakes or other protein shakes
dried fruit
oatmeal if she can mange with the water
re: Maggie Larkin
Thanks, that's what I was looking for.

Guess Who Pelosi Blames for Making Her Move Out of the Speaker's Office?
**Written by Doug Powers
It's a tired cliché at this point, but in the absence of lucidity sometimes that's all one can manage cling to:
"We still would have lost the election because we had 9.5% unemployment. Let's take it where that came from. The policies of George W. Bush and the Republican support for his initiatives, tax cuts are for the wealth, recklessness by some," Minority Leader Pelosi told CNN.
Nancy sure doesn't like Bush, and you know what that probably means — she bought his book!
As for Pelosi's new Minority Leader's office, she's in a sad state of denial and says she won't be staying there long. Why? Because of course the Democrats will win back the House in 2012 and she'll regain the Speakership –unless Bush screws it up for her again.
Watching Pelosi show CNN's John King the office into which Bush forced her to move for some reason reminded me of what magician Alfred Borden said in The Prestige while being led into a prison cell: "You think this place can hold me, Angier?" It did, by the way.

SINGAPORE Rio Tinto Plcs mined and refined copper output fell short of expectations in 2012, the company said Jan. 15.
Mined copper production totaled 548,800 tonnes last year, up 6 percent year on year but below the London-based companys previous forecast of 560,000 tonnes. Meanwhile, refined copper output fell 16 percent year on year to 279,300 tonnes, falling short of the prior estimate of 290,000 tonnes, Rio Tinto said.
Production of copper contained in concentrate increased through the second half of 2012 due to a recovery in ore grades at Rio Tintos Kennecott Utah Copper project, the company said.
Refined copper output also rose at Kennecott Utah Copper due to improved mine production and inventory processing after a successful maintenance shutdown of the smelter during the second quarter, Rio Tinto added.
For the fourth quarter ended Dec. 31, mined copper output reached 163,900 tonnes, up 20 percent from the year-earlier quarter and 24 percent higher than the preceding three months. Refined copper production reached 86,200 tonnes during the same period, a 7-percent increase from year on year and 24 percent higher than the third quarter of 2012.
Mined gold production also fell more than 50 percent year on year to 73,000 ounces during the quarter. However, that constituted a 6-percent increase from the previous quarter. Refined gold output reached 78,000 ounces in the fourth quarter, down 10 percent from some 87,000 ounces in the year-ago period but up nearly 70 percent from 46,000 ounces in the third quarter.
Rio Tinto also expects commercial production at the Oyu Tolgoi copper mine in the South Gobi region of Mongolia to start by June 2013, it said. Construction of the project is now 99-percent complete.
"Commissioning of the ore processing equipment began in mid-November, and first ore was processed through the concentrator on Jan. 2, 2013," the company said, adding that first concentrate production will follow within one month.
"Oyu Tolgoi has entered into sales contracts for 75 percent of concentrate production from the project on international terms," Rio Tinto said. "In addition to the signed contracts, Oyu Tolgoi has committed in principle to sell up to 25 percent of concentrate production on international terms to smelters in Inner Mongolia for the first 10 years, subject to the conclusion of detailed sales contracts."

September 6th,
|Previous episode
|Next episode
The Green Controller is the fifth episode of the tenth season.
Percy is alone at Tidmouth Sheds when Lady Hatt arrives in the Fat Controller's car. The Fat Controller has lost his voice, so he is off sick today. Lady Hatt tells Percy to give some of the engines their instructions; Gordon is to pull trucks of China clay to Brendam Docks and must go slowly and carefully, James is to shunt coal trucks at the coaling plant and must be as busy as a bee, and Toby must collect holidaymakers from Maithwaite, take them to the Scottish Castle and be as fast as Gordon's express. Once Lady Hatt leaves, Thomas arrives and Percy tells him that he is controller for the day, so he neglects Thomas' assistance.
Percy finds Gordon at Knapford and tells him to pull slow goods. He finds James at the washdown and tells him to be repainted yellow and black to be a "busy bee". Finally, he finds Toby at Arlesdale End and tells him to pull Gordon's express. Percy then goes to check up on the other engines. At a bridge, Percy says hello to some children, but the children are laughing at Gordon being slow and James the stripy-bee engine. Once Toby arrives with the express, Gordon tells Percy that he is meant to be fast, not slow, James is meant to be red, not yellow and black, and Toby, being a tram engine, is not suitable to take the express. Percy realizes that he is in a muddle and when Thomas arrives, Percy asks for his help.
Thomas helps Percy by going to Knapford to find see Gordon's cargo of China clay. At the coaling plant they see trucks waiting for James to shunt them. Finally, at Maithwaite, they see holidaymakers waiting for Toby. At last, Gordon, James, and Toby are doing the right jobs and that evening, the Fat Controller congratulates Percy for being really useful. Percy is just happy that the Fat Controller has found his voice and hopes that he will never lose it again as being controller for the day was harder than he thought.
