An ERP is an integrated application used to manage the information and enforce the processes of an enterprise. A CRM is the part of an ERP focused on customer-facing activities.
An ERP is usually divided in several interconnected modules providing a single consolidated view of the enterprise operation:
- Stock and inventory
- Sales and purchases
- Manufacturing
- Finances and accounting
- Human resources
- Project management
- Customer relationships
Why an ERP?
If you are a small or medium-size enterprise, you are probably operating based on a set of more or less sophisticated Excel spreadsheets, maybe with some custom and/or specialized applications, and as a consequence your operation tracking relies on a lot of manual operations (which means source of errors), with a good part of you business data in the mailboxes and personal computers of your employees. The data of your business is siloed and can not be leveraged to get synthetic real time indicators of what is happening in your company.
An ERP is about integration: this is a system where all the transactional information of the enterprise is centralized and shared according to the rights of every user. This becomes the place where every business transaction is recorded and tracked, and where the statistics, reports and indicators of your operation are available in real time.
Why an open source ERP?
The ERP market has been historically dominated by a few major vendors (SAP, Oracle, Microsoft…) focused on large companies who could afford the huge license prices and consulting costs. There is today an alternative for small and medium-size companies in the form of a few open source products with a several years of active development, a strong feature set, and a growing number of running implementations for companies of up to a few hundred users.
The benefits of this approach are cost savings (no license costs), flexibility (easy to customize and extend), and full control on your mission-critical application (you have the code and the right to modify it as best fits).
Save on the license costs,
invest on customization and training.
Why OpenERP?
A comprehensive study on open source ERP was published in 2008 by the major French open source integrator Smile with a detailed analysis of the open source ERP projects, where OpenERP was identified as the best projects. With the version 6.0 released at the beginning of 2011 which was a major milestone for the project, it is now clear for anyone looking closely at the open source ERP offer that OpenERP is way ahead of the competition, for several reasons:
- A real object oriented design and a very modular architecture which makes it easy to customize and extend the data model (efficient ORM), the views (MVC web client): it is easy to adapt the application to the specific needs of each company.
- A real BPM engine allowing to easily adapt the workflows and business processes, and an SOA architecture that makes it easy to integrate with external software: it is easy to implement the specific processes of each company and to integrate with existing applications.
- A strong editor with an open attitude that lead to the development of a strong community and a rich ecosystem (more than 1000 modules, integrator partners in more than 60 countries): this ensures the stability and sustainability of the project, as well as the guarantee of a platform which is now mainstream and which is supported an ever growing pool of companies and consultants.
From an operational point of view, the strengths of OpenERP as a framework, together with a progressive implementation approach (agile methodology) mean:
- A short delay from the project kick-off to the first use in production: low budget, low risk.
- A quick (hence cost-effective) implementation of what is specific to your business: good control on the cost of the implementation project.

Amarantus BioSciences Wins MANF Patent Challenge In Europe
SUNNYVALE, Calif., Nov. 20, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Amarantus BioSciences, Inc. (OTCQB: AMBS), a biotechnology company developing new treatments and diagnostics for Parkinson's disease and Traumatic Brain Injury centered on its proprietary anti-apoptosis therapeutic protein MANF, today announced the Opposition Division of the European Patent Office upheld Amarantus Bioscience's European Patent relating to neurotrophic factor MANF, following opposition by rival Hermo Pharma OY of Finland.
The Opposition Division held that the Opponent's arguments did not prejudice the maintenance of the Patent as originally granted, with broad claims covering MANF and its derivatives. The Opponent had not contested the validity of the Patent on the basis of novelty or inventive step, but had objected to the broad scope of the claims. However, after due consideration of comprehensive legal and technical oral submissions from both sides, the Opposition Division rejected the Opponent's arguments and upheld the claims without restriction.
" This is a highly significant decision for Amarantus, after an extended period of uncertainty," said Marc Wilkinson PhD, European Patent Attorney of UK firm Avidity IP, representing Amarantus. " The Opposition Division's decision validates broad protection for MANF and derivatives across major European jurisdictions."

Has this immortal finally met her match?
Rogue hunter Drina Argenis (from the Spanish side of the Argeneau family) has been many things in her years as an immortal, but bodyguard/babysitter to a teenage vampire is something new. There's an incentive, however: the other vampsitter, Harper Stoyan, may be Drina's life mate.
Trouble is, having just lost a life mate, Harper is resigned to being alone. He's completely unprepared when sexy and unpredictable Drina bursts into his life to reignite his passions. Can Drina, with a little matchmaking help from their teen charge, tempt this reluctant vampire to take a chance?
Or will a dangerous, unseen renegade kill Drina and Harper's one chance at happiness?
Lynsay Sands is the nationally bestselling author of the Argeneau/Rogue Hunter vampire series, as well as numerous historicals and anthologies. She's been writing stories since grade school and considers herself incredibly lucky to be able to make a career out of it. Her hope is that readers can get away from their everyday stress through her stories, and if there are occasional uncontrollable fits of laughter, that's just a big bonus.
Theme by Danetsoft and Danang Probo Sayekti inspired by Maksimer

The National Lacrosse League has announced the 2015 NLL regular season schedule, which means teams can now start booking their travel itineraries. And with NLL clubs expected to log almost 80,000 combined air miles this upcoming year, an average of about 8,800 miles per team, the league's travel looks just as high-flying as the action fans are accustomed to seeing on the turf.
But which teams will have to fly the farthest in their quest for the Champion's Cup? Check out the estimated mileage below to see which players, coaches and staff will rack up plenty of frequent flyer miles this coming year. The figures factor in each team's flight distance to away games from their home city along with any back-to-back weekends where they fly home to play.
Buffalo Bandits (5,300 miles): Centrally-located between their East Division rivals Rochester and Toronto, the Bandits will have the least amount of travel in the NLL. With a combined four road games within driving distance against the Knighthawks and Rock, Buffalo will fly to Connecticut twice and Minnesota once, along with long trips to Calgary and Vancouver.
Calgary Roughnecks (8,400 miles): The West Division-champion Roughnecks won't have it so rough travel-wise this season as the team logs the fewest air miles of the four teams in the West. With a total of four short trips to Edmonton and Vancouver, the flights out East to Minnesota, Rochester and Toronto will keep Calgary in the air this year. But Calgary's lesser travel shouldn't be totally envied as the team plays their final three games on the road.
Colorado Mammoth (11,100 miles): The mile-high Mammoth will coincidentally lead the league in air mileage with games in Buffalo, Connecticut, Minnesota and Rochester. Those four trips, coupled with three flights to Alberta and two voyages to Vancouver, make Colorado the busiest travelers in the NLL. The good news for the Mammoth is that the travel is balanced throughout their schedule as they play five of their first nine games on the road and five of their final nine at home.
Connecticut-based franchise (10,000 miles): With a pair of trips to Buffalo, Minnesota and Toronto, along with visits to Calgary, Edmonton and Rochester, the recently-relocated franchise will lead the East Division in air miles. But the team won't head West of Minnesota after Week 12 and will bring six other clubs to New England for games at Mohegan Sun Arena including home games for the season opener and finale.
Edmonton Rush (10,400 miles): With six of their last nine weeks on the road, the Rush will have to wait until the second half of the season to do most of their flying. Edmonton travels to Buffalo, Minnesota, Rochester and Toronto in the East along with two trips to Calgary and Colorado and one visit to Vancouver. But Edmonton won't fly East of Minnesota after Week 13 which means they might be able to get off to a hot start at home then finish strong down the stretch.
Minnesota Swarm (8,300 miles): Positioned as the midway point for NLL cities geographically, the Swarm find themselves in the middle of the pack among East Division teams for air travel. With three flights out West to Colorado, Edmonton and Vancouver, Minnesota's two trips to Buffalo and Connecticut, along with games in Rochester and Toronto, help tack on the miles. The Swarm's travel will be loaded into the front of the schedule as the team hosts their final four games of the season.
Rochester Knighthawks (6,500 miles): The three-time defending NLL champs have the second-fewest estimated air miles despite travelling to driving-distance cities Buffalo and Toronto just one time each. Along with two trips to Connecticut and Minnesota, Rochester will visit Calgary, Colorado and Vancouver this season. But the Knighthawks will have a tough finish with three of four games to end the season on the road against the Mammoth, Stealth and Swarm.
Toronto Rock (8,600 miles): With five of their last seven games at home, Toronto will do a majority of their travelling earlier in the year. While trips to play all four West teams in Calgary, Colorado, Edmonton and Vancouver will bump up their air mileage, two driveable trips to Rochester and another in Buffalo will help alleviate their travel as they head to both Connecticut and Minnesota just once.
Vancouver Stealth (10,800 miles): Last but certainly not least, the Stealth have the second-most air miles among NLL teams this season despite just three games in the East against Buffalo, Connecticut and Toronto. The trip to New England marks the longest voyage of any NLL team at almost 2,500 miles, which equates to nearly a 5.5 hour flight. Still, a pair of short trips to both Calgary and Edmonton, and two medium-length treks to Colorado, make the Stealth's travel all that more manageable.
Estimated team travel distances for 2015 NLL season:
1) Colorado: 11,100 miles
2) Vancouver: 10,800 miles
3) Edmonton: 10,400 miles
4) Connecticut: 10,000 miles
5) Toronto: 8,600 miles
6) Calgary: 8,400 miles
7) Minnesota: 8,300 miles
8) Rochester: 6,500 miles
9) Buffalo: 5,600 miles

Michael Maiden | Sculpture | The Maiden Foundry | Contact
Michael Maiden
Michael was raised on the family cattle ranch in Southeastern Washington State. With a keen insight of the natural world, Michael pursued formal art studies. A 1972 graduate of Central Washington University, Michael earned a bachelor degree in fine art and education. In the spring of 1972, Michael was off to the Fort Knox Armor School for basic training with the Washington Army National Guard. Upon his return Michael was employed by the Walla Walla, Washington public school district, where he taught art.
1975 was a milestone; Michael resigned his teaching position and opened The Maiden Foundry, his dream studio. Michael found success early producing bronze sculpture for world famous artists, as well as his own work. The Maiden Foundry grew to be the largest art foundry in the western United States. Michael is most known as the world's leading sculptor of the American Bald Eagle, one of his favorite subjects. As a pilot since 1985, Michael's life long passion with aviation has also brought artistic success. Michael's recent public placements depicting heroic scale Naval Aviation figures has brought national acclaim. Michael's work can be found in personal and corporate collections worldwide.

FOXBOROUGH, MA - Joe Flacco outdueled Tom Brady, throwing three touchdown passes in the second half and leading the Baltimore Ravens to their first Super Bowl in 12 years with a 28-13 victory over the New England Patriots on Sunday for the AFC championship.
The win sets up the first Super Bowl coached by brothers, Baltimore's John Harbaugh and San Francisco's Jim. The 49ers won the NFC title earlier Sunday 28-24 at Atlanta.
The 49ers have been listed as 5-point favorites.
Baltimore linebacker Ray Lewis' final season will conclude in two weeks in New Orleans; he was the MVP of the 2001 game, the Ravens' only Super Bowl win.
Flacco had two touchdown passes to Anquan Boldin and one to Dennis Pitta as the Ravens outscored the Patriots 21-0 in the second half. Baltimore's defense made Brady look ordinary and stymied the league's top offense. Brady was 67-0 at home when leading at halftime.

So, you're ready to communicate on a global level with Internet email?! Well, let's start on a slightly smaller scale. Do this to insure that you can send and receive email correctly!
The graphics and look of my.chemeketa email may change, but the concept is the same.
Reading your mail is even easier.
If you received both the original message and the reply, you are ready to send email to other people on the Internet. If you did not receive the messages something went wrong and you should try again. You can practice sending messages to other members of the class. Use the student email addresses found on the Instructor's Office page and send email to other students. Do not expect an immediate response because the people you pick to send email to may not read their email every day.
Gmail, like other email programs, allows you to attach document files to the email message. Attaching a file allows you to send a file such as a graphic file or word processing file along with your email message. This allows the recipient to work with the original file with all of its formatting intact. When using Gmail, you click the "Attach a file" link on the Compose page to attach files to your messages. Attachments that are sent to you are shown as a link at the end of the email message. To download the attachment to your computer, simply click the link.
Email doesn't always arrive at its destination. If you need to resend something that didn't arrive you can look for it in your "Sent Mail". Click the Sent Mail link to see a list of the email messages that you have sent. You can click on a message and then forward it to send it again.
As you start to receive a lot of email messages, you may want to save them for later. If you keep all of your messages in your Inbox, it will quickly become a cluttered mess.
Gmail allows you to use multiple folders (called labels) to store your messages in.
Gmail has already created some labels for you.
To move a message, check mark it and then select the location you want to move it to. You have have a message in more than one label by using the labels drop down to assign additional lables to the message.
You can create new labels using "Create new label" under the "More" link at the left. You can then move your messages from your Inbox into the desired label.
After you use your email for a while you may decide you want to change some of the options (set
up a filter, add a signature, etc.) In Gmail, click "Settings" by your email address to make these kinds of changes. The settings screen shown below lets you configure the various settings.
When you are finished working with Gmail, click the "Sign Out" link or just close the window.

Christmas in a Southwestern Home
When major league ballplayer Bill Mueller and his wife, Amy, moved from Massachusetts to Arizona, the couple brought old-fashioned New England charm to their brand-new desert home.
By Ada Calhoun
At Christmas, all bets are off when it comes to Santa. Lately, the kids have been lobbying for a puppy and a batting cage (budding athlete Tucker dreams big). But how does Amy-the-organizer cope with the present-ripping, stocking-dumping chaos that is Christmas morning? "Baskets," she says. "I put out lots of baskets."
In this photo: The Mueller kids make a bit of merry mischief in the garage, at a salvaged cabinet their mom modernized by removing doors and adding bins. The paper dispenser came from an old general store.

How to Master the Angles of Attack Regardless of Weapon
How to Cure the Angle Fandango
by W. Hock Hochheim
The clock points with regard to the angles of attack. I was familiar with military terminology and concept from my Army experience. If you were on a foot patrol and the point man suddenly shouted, "enemy at 2 o'clock!" Everyone would instantly look in that direction. The same for pilots – who also have both a vertical clock and a horizontal clock. "12 o'clock high!" Simple. Quick. Effective. Unforgettable.
Yet, scores of differing police and martial arts training systems are not clock-based. Their elaborate weapons angles of attack were disjointed and forgettable, a major problem in this frustrating rat race of systemologies, and the various lines of attack protocols each used for hand, stick, knife and gun tactics. Each try to outsmart or out-do each other, rather than focus in on maximized education. The worst in my opinion are the two extremes – the over-simplified and the over-complicated. I began to ask myself, how are all these directions of combat the same? It became clear that attacks universally come in from the center, high or low, or right or left sides, whether standing or on the ground.
No matter the weapon, the angles/directions are the same. I returned with trust to the simple military "combat" clock. The clock face is an imprinted image in our minds since early childhood. The simple angle of attack pattern is right on your wrist, work or play. I discovered, or better said, I re-discovered the simple, military clock method as a training foundation. Stand it up or lay it down, you have an unforgettable pattern to teach, memorize and work from:
Basic Hand, Stick, Knife, Gun Combat Clock Training:
- 12 o'clock from axis to above (anything to or from above)
- 3 o'clock from axis to the right (anything to or from your right)
- 6 o'clock from axis to below (anything to or from below)
- 9 o'clock from axis to the left (anything to or from your left)
- Axis point is the center of the clock
– vertical clock or horizontal clock for footwork
Advanced Hand, Stick, Knife, Gun Combat Clock Training:
From the axis center point out to all 12 numbers of the clock
This offers more precision training if needed
The Combat Clock is used to:
- Learn hand, knife, stick and gun manipulation and solo command and mastery skills
- Maneuvering – organize attack and defense footwork if laid horizontal.
- Target Spotting – direct fire and locate enemies with a vertical and horizontal clock.
- Delivery system – use to deliver angles of attack.
- Organize attack striking, hooking/slashing strikes if set vertically.
- Organize attack shooting/stabbing/thrusting points if set vertically.
- Defensive system – used to block or defeat angles of attack and footwork moves.
- Timetables – the preparation for, and length of, an encounter. Coordinate mission timing.
- Other – the clock can be used numerous ways, such as the below photo/chart on how pistols are removed from the hand.
The clock can be used numerous ways, such as with this photo/chart on how pistols are removed from the hand. This is from the perspective of the disarmer.
In the last 20 years I have taught thousands of people from utter novices to experts, from cadets and rookie cops to vets and martial arts black belts, from all over the world, and I can get them to interact with each other in mere moments by using this simple basic Combat Clock format. Remember I did not invent the Combat Clock, it is a military concept, free for us all to use.
More Notes on The Combat Clock
You know I go to a number of differing schools each year and some are Filipino based. Each one has a stick and/or a knife numbering system. Some use 5. Sometimes 12 or more angles. Almost all are different. The same angles, because there are only so many possibilities, but ordered differently. After doing many FMA systems since the mis-1980s, I had to learn all these angles too. Actually, it all drove me crazy. Many systems also have within themselves, numerous other angles of attack systems really compounding the problem. Angles of attack upon angles of attack upon…etc.
These classical systems require, by way of name and tradition, that people learn THEIR particular numbering systems. Is there a rhyme or reason to these angles selections? Usually NO. For example – one very popular master uses a 9 angle system. Why? Because the name of his system…has 9 letters in it. Okay! What? What does that mean? There are 8 letters in my last name, then should I use 8 angles of attack? Of course not. Does that mean that a tank torrent should only move 4 ways atop a tank because there are four letters in the word "tank?"
This is not just a classical problem. New people starting new systems have a propensity to invent their own angle of attack system. Why? Just cause, that why! As they usually make the same generic mistake. Seeking something different, they may make an even more unusual numerical progression.
In a way, this is a thinking disorder. It makes zero sense. Many of these angle attack systems are constructed in this haphazard manner by people with no tactical training or knowledge in scientific efficiency or practicality. Many if these guys have no college or no high school. Or, no education on how people learn things. They just…make up angles.
In the mid-1990s I began to ask myself. Do we really need all these redundant and different angles of attack? Why not use the military combat clock? When a point man on military patrol spots the enemy and declares, "enemy at 225 degrees!" No one knows where that is!
If he shouts out," enemy at 10 'clock!" Everyone knows where that it. The magic and beauty of the clock.
Use the clock. I do and it works. Since about 1996, when I arrive in these places and teach the simple, unforgettable combat clock, I can put total, novice strangers together hitting each other with hands, sticks and knives in the opening minutes of a session.
This training involves civilians, cops and soldiers. Imagine getting in front of 100 cops and making them memorize "Quintof's 18 angles of attack" to start their first day off before they can interact with each other. Bubba, that is a slow day of unhappy cops (and soldiers and citizens). Many instructors that are "embedded" into their family systems also like my idea of the clock, it's just they can't officially do it.
As a result some of these host instructors have decided to use the Combat Clock as a teaching and work out tool. It helps retention and gets folks busy fast. Basically they tell me that they are handicapped and stymied with beginners who cannot function in a class without memorizing their family system 6, 8, 10, 12 or however many angles. Class time is wasted with these new people trying to get them to learn the 10, 12, 14 whatever angles systems they MUST traditionally know before they can move on to the next step. The instructor often assigns some other senior student off to the corner to teach the new guy these angles.
Complicated angles taught in nonsensical patterns can even run your students off. You know, these angle systems are essentially katas. I find it ironic that many modern stick systems (many wanting to sound so modern and tactical, and even in their black tact pants of many pockets, etc.) make fun of katas, laugh out loud at them, then turn right around and do a 12 angle drill with footwork. Dude! Guess what! You are doing a kata with a stick in your hand.
But with the simple, basic combat clock of 12, 3, 6, 9 clock (high, right, low, left) you can get them interacting within minutes. And the fun begins faster. Happy students mean happy customers.
You can later learn the traditional angle systems for the esoteric stalwarts who wish to learn them. I understand the interest. I really do. But with the Combat Clock many of these "embedded" instructors now have a quick trick for teaching and can better interact with the civilian, police and military that they so much want to attach themselves to.
Anyhow, my point is that a number of these people are now also teaching and exercising through the combat clock for class work, and getting the students on board, in action right away, with the named system angle of attack required. Then they memorize the classic, mandatory angle, fandango later.

Young angler also a philanthropist
A Manatee County teen is using her love of fishing as a way to help those in need.
Chasten Whitfield, 14, from Cortez, got hooked on fishing at the age of two.
"I like to fish," said Whitfield. "It's very fun. It's relaxing, but hard at the same time."
Now more than a decade later, the 8th grader at King Middle School is a force to be reckoned with.
While out on the water, this teenage girl is proving this isn't just a male dominated sport.
"I've caught a 35-inch cobia with my dad, a 20-inch kingfish with my mom, and more," said Whitfield.
But for Chasten fishing isn't just a hobby, it's also a way to help those in need. When she participates in fishing tournaments, she doesn't pocket the cash prizes. Instead, she donates it to local charities.
"I like the feeling of giving back," she said.
Acts of kind ness her mother says is inspiring.
"I'm proud beyond belief," said Kapi Whitfield. "It's incredible."
Whitfield has been a philanthropist since the age of five. That's when she started selling lemonade, holding garages sales and emptying her piggy bank to help those who need it most.
But now she said she found her niche, using fishing to raise money for charity.
The young angler said she hopes to start her own fishing show soon as well as organize some local kids fishing tournaments.
In addition to fishing for charities, Chasten also teaches fishing seminars and writes fishing articles.
For more information about Chasten, visit her website.

Vets remembered with holiday wreaths
Posted By Sun News On December 12, 2012 @ 12:19 pm In News | Comments Disabled
Wreaths Across America, a nationwide holiday remembrance of veterans, returns to Sonoma Veterans Memorial Park on Saturday, December 15.
The community is invited to attend, and the ceremony will take place rain or shine beginning at 8:45 a.m.
Military members from all of the armed services will be on hand to place commemorative wreaths, and the community will then be invited to help place wreaths on all of the graves.
For those who wish to place a wreath on the grave of a loved one or friend, members of the military will be standing by to accompany them and render honors if requested.
Similar ceremonies will take place at over 60 veterans cemeteries in all 50 states, at 24 American military cemeteries on foreign soil, and aboard a U.S. Navy ship sailing on each of the seven seas.

Top Republican Wants Apology for Calling Vets Right-Wing Extremists
April 15, 2009 - 3:08 PMSome Republicans are criticizing a Homeland Security Department intelligence assessment, saying it unfairly characterizes military veterans as right-wing extremists.
House Republican leader John Boehner says he wants the Homeland Security Department to apologize to veterans.
The agency's intelligence assessment went to law enforcement officials last week. It warns that right-wing extremists could use the bad state of the U.S. economy and the election of the country's first black president to recruit members.
The assessment also said that returning military veterans who have difficulties assimilating back into their home communities could be susceptible to extremist recruiters or might engage in lone acts of violence.

This is largely due to the many opportunities that I received at UWEC that have been extremely important to my growth as a musician. My advice to anyone at EC or who will be attending is to seek our every opportunity you can. Play in everything whether it's paid or not, work with children, collaborate on projects, take extra theory classes, etc. You never know how beneficial those types of things will be to your growth and to your resume.

We are in battle. The sphere of fire is where we are at. STICK TIGHT! WE are close range. Like us, our advisaries are exerting great force against us, as we force against them. It is not going well for us! We have them exact! STICK TIGHT!!! Stick tight not to ourselves, as we always will do that, but stick tight to them!!! Take advantage of this opportunity to win by sticking tight to them! Take advangage of every opportunity as you wrestle with them. WE have taken sides, facing off, it is not clear who will prevail, STICK TIGHT!!! Stick tight to them, we cannot be seperated from them.
WE shall find their flaws, learn how to win, and seize a powerful victory for mankind. This is quintessential.

Today at New York Comic Con, the official trailer for Powers was unveiled!
Check it out:
Powers is a PlayStation Original Series coming this Winter for PlayStation Plus members.
Today at New York Comic Con, the official trailer for Powers was unveiled!
Check it out:
Powers is a PlayStation Original Series coming this Winter for PlayStation Plus members.
Two more big roles have been cast in the Powers adaptation for The PlayStation Network.
Deadline reports that District 9′s Sharlto Copley is Christian Walker in the new version of the project, with the first two episodes being directed by David Slade. Also cast now is Michelle Forbes as Retro Girl.
They join Susan Heyward as Deena Pilgrim. Also cast in the series are Eddie Izzard as Wolfe (a former mentor to Christian with powers of his own), Noah Taylor as Johnny Royalle, Olesya Rulin as Calista, Max Fowler as Krispin Stockley, and Adam Godley as Captain Cross.
Announced today at E3.
Details to come…
Good news from the producer and head writer of Powers, Charles Eglee, as well as creator Brian Michael Bendis – Powers for TV is still not dead at FX.
Eglee appeared in the Nerdist Writers Panel in recent months and assured that the project is "actively moving forward." He also talked a bit about what one could expect from the first season of a Powers TV show.
"For those of you who know the comic at all, there's an installment called 'Who Killed Retro Girl?' and it just seemed to me that rather than wrap that up in a one-hour pilot, the thing to do was really let that be a whole season — the 13 episodes. Treat it as one murder investigation with weekly stories, self-contained narratives in each episode. But the big event — sort of like 'Murder One' really — was solving that crime and using that to develop our characters and dramatize the world," he explained. "We're not really hinging the show on the solving of that particular crime," Eglee continued. "It's really about Christian Walker's journey. This guy is…sort of 'The Man Who Fell To Earth.' He was this Olympian god who had powers and was immortal, and he sort of got thrown out. And now, here he is walking the earth with mere mortals and trying to put it together."
Bendis yesterday posted on Tumblr that the project is still alive. "Based on the pilot the network ordered a handful of new scripts for new episodes and the writers should be handing them in soon," he says. "It's slow and steady but we are still alive."
Deadline is reporting that Lucy Punch, who was to play Deena Pilgrim in Powers, has been cast in a FOX comedy pilot called Ned Fox In My Manny.
But what does this mean for Powers?
Tweeter Wesley Ambrecht asked Brian Michael Bendis himself, and here's what he had to say:
"she was being recast by fx. but not because of talent. she's amazing."
If Punch is out, can we wait until Katee Sackhoff is free again? No?
Hopefully there will be some more Powers updates soon.
UPDATE: And here are some updates! Here's what Bendis had to say on his Facebook page about the status of Powers TV:
"though lucy punch has moved on, powers tv is not dead. if it was i would tell you honest & true. new scripts have been ordered for more episodes & there will be news in may about how we are going forward. the network is behind us all the way. its quite nice. its going to be a long haul but its all about quality. i desperately want the best show we can make."
It's been talked about for three years now, and a pilot was shot last year, but it sounds like Powers will have to wait a little bit longer for TV – if it comes on to TV at all.
"We didn't pick the pilot of Powers up; we went back and Chick Eglee, who had written it, did a fairly substantial rewrite that would require pretty extensive reshoots of the pilot," THR reports FX president John Landgraf as saying. "Right now we're in the process of deciding whether to pull the trigger on the reshoot."
Landgraf refers to Powers as a "difficult adaptation" which interests him "but this is a really hard one."
Decisions on what to do next will come within a few months.
PowersTV has had an influx of traffic recently, and we weren't quite sure why at first.
It turns out, it's because the spokeswoman in a recent series of advertisements for T-Mobile is Powers' "Retro Girl" herself, Carly Foulkes.
She plays the role in the series pilot, which doesn't have an air date but hopefully we'll all be seeing it (and a series order!) soon.
In the Powers universe, the first Retro Girl is an extremely popular superheroine who ends up murdered. It is her killing that pushes forth the series' first major arc.
With a lot of people talking about her these days, that should count as another reason for FX to pick the series up already.
Possible good news on the Powers front… while it seemed things were between Powers and Outlaw Country for a spot on the FX line-up, the cable network has now passed on the latter.
However, Powers will be going through some redevelopment, including some "retooling and reshoots."
Creator Brian Michael Bendis seems to think this is "pretty good news" as Sons Of Anarchy also went through the same process.
Stay tuned for more Powers TV news as it becomes available…
Bailee Madison plays Calista in the Powers TV pilot. In a recent interview with Spinoff Online about Don't Be Afraid Of The Dark she answered some of the inevitable questions about doing Powers.
"I love Calista! When you first see her in the beginning of the show, there's already kind of a thought, like there's something different about her. She has a secret," Madison told the site. "The truth is that she does, and we don't reveal it in the pilot."
"If the show does get picked up, there are some really fun things that my character is able to do. She's such a sweet girl, but in the same way she'll kick some butt if she needs to. She's kind of raising herself in a way and … she's got such spunk, some kind of sarcastic energy, but in a cute way, in a fun way that's appropriate," she continued.
"It is so true to the comic," she assured. "It's like you're watching a comic book. Everybody looks the same [as they do on the page]. I had pitch-black bangs, I was wearing a wardrobe that you'd imagine her to have, and all the detailed sound and special effects are so realistic that I think when you see it, you're just going to want to hit pause so you can look at all the details."
To read the entire interview, where Madison talks about how she manages to read Powers while avoiding some of its salty language, visit CBR's Spinoff Online.
The Chicago Sun-Times tonight posted the first image of Jason Patric in character as Christian Walker in the Powers pilot.

Thanks. And it was one wash if that makes any different
Momotaro - Page 208
Styleforum Top Picks
No. The 0705BiG will not shrink that much though. I would stick with a regular pair of 0705SP's if I were you. Unless you like The burnt red inseam stitch better than the original pink one.
No it's not equivalent, or no there's no reason to go with the raws over the one wash? I do prefer the burnt red stitching, that's the main reason I am considering the 0705BIG. Still not entirely sure how I feel about the battle stripes, either.

I'm wearing my 0705SP's today. Nice jean, great texture and feel to it. They won't shrink much on you, or really stretch all that much either. I went TTS, and aside form putitng about 9 months of wear in them, and slimming down a bit weight wise, they fit pretty much the same as the day I bought them. No washes or soaks yet.

on Momos or Samurais or SDAs, etc., i'm sizing up 1 these days ... 'does not matter if they're not/partially/fully sanforized, @the back end [ie, after years of wear & multiple washes] the denim tend to shrink a bit more. of course, you can always stretch them out, but IMO that's just cumbersome. besides, i love my old vintage-looking pair to look comfy & nonchalant, not snug & confining.
Sorry, I meant the latter. I've had discussion about this particular model and the outcome was, they did not shrink much, though they are advertised as raw.
While this may apply to One Wash denim in general, Momotaro denim isn't hard washed using industrial laundry machines. They are cold washed using seawater. There will or might be some shrinkage left on the OW variants.

Okay Guys - Help me out.. Having a Bit of trouble in deciding between the 0205SPs, the 0805SPs, and the 0705SPs. I'm a Momotaro newb, but do have previous denim experience lol. I'm looking for something with possibly around a weird guy cut? Something baggier than Nudie Grim Tims, but not anti-fit baggy. After having difficulties with measurements from BiG, I'm not as trusting when it comes to buying denim online. My waist is somewhere between a 30-31. I was thinking a 31 in both the 0205s and the 0805s just to be safe instead of having to risk them being to small, but that does also run the risk of them possibly being too baggy? I was also considering the 0705s in a 32, which right now looks like my best bet, since Even though the prices w/ shipping are lower at Okayama, I believe Blue Own has better customer service and return policies, which is probably worth the extra $40-$50?
any input would be greatly appreciated
I'll fully vouch for Blue Owl - the best people through which I've ever bought denim.

More than 4.7 million people in the Democratic Republic of the Congo have died so that I can enjoy the privilege of using a cell phone. That fact chastens me. But what chastens me more is that civil war has raged for years in the DRC and I have remained utterly ignorant of my complicity in it.
More than 6 months ago, I made a post about my cell phone service. In retrospect, my post seems trivial. I was writing about a product whose performance failed to meet the expectations its advertising raised. My phone was supposed to be a model of convergence — with camera, mp3 player, text messaging, games. I also wrote about the social dimension of cell phone use — its power to confer status, to grant anonymity, to relieve anxiety. But I never suspected its power to kill.
Cell phones, along with many other consumer electronic devices, use a substance called coltan. Eighty percent of the world's supply of coltan comes from the DRC. However, demand for coltan has produced fighting for control of the country's mines and the revenue they generate.
I used this discovery as the opportunity to write a paper for a course in Ethics which I'm taking at Emmanuel College. The main question is: how do I deal with my behaviour as an economic actor in the West, when almost every choice I make has consequences for people living in the two–thirds world? The paper begins by considering several required readings in economic justice, then it breaks from the mold and looks to Jon Sobrino as a mentor. Click here to download a Word copy of the paper.
For an introduction to the issue of coltan in the DRC, see the following links:


text: Hi all, I have not been on this site since I moved to Idaho from SoCal, glad to see it's as busy as ever! I moved to Idaho about 4 years ago & I am now selling the last of my custom built rods. I have no use for them, I am staying in Idaho. These were primarily my back-up rods & they are in almost MINT condition. I did not use them much and after every trip, I hosed them off, dried them & put them up. They are beautiful. They were all custom built by Fishin Fools in Northridge California for me. Graphite rods & beautiful wraps. ALL MATCHING COLORS. I paid a ton of money for these rods when they were built. Only asking a fraction of the original cost. I want them to go to a good home. I am also selling a couple of great reels. Here is the list: 1-Calstar 700ML 7ft see pics- perfect shape $185.00 obo 2- Calstar 800L 8ft - GREAT ROD $190.00 obo 3- Calstar 800XL 8ft - One of my favorite all-around offshore rods $185.00 obo 4- Pro Gear PG545 Reel- for those that know ProGear, there is not alot to say. These are some of the most well built reels ever made IMHO. This one is the GunMetal & in MINT condition (a few faint handling marks). Still have box & all paperwork. Not really sure if I ever actually used this reel. $150.00 PENDING SALE 5- Shimano TLD 15- Great workhorse. Great shape, but does show some wear. $75.00 All of the rods match and have the same custom wrapping. They do have my last name on them, but you can get that covered. Shipping will be about $15.00 for a individual rod. If it's more, I will pay the difference. If someone is interested in all 3 rods, I will ship in a Gorilla Rod case & throw the case & shipping in for free! These are great deals & if you have any questions, feel free to ask. You can pay by Credit card thru my home business, Pay-Pal, money order/cashiers check. I am also available to talk by phone or text 208-520-5244 Ernesto. Or email me at firstname.lastname@example.com
