Interview with Carole Amerongen of The Dish
Ever since she was a young girl, Carole has demonstrated an interest in cooking. Her parents picked up on her passion, and so when it came to gifts, her siblings would receive matching sweaters while Carole was given cookbooks.
Carole recalls a specific Christmas when this same trend occurred yet again. In a flurry of rage after opening her suspiciously cookbook-shaped gift, Carole threw the book across the room. She was thirteen at the time, and spent the rest of Christmas Eve in her room. Carole now refers to this as "The Day of the Flying Cookbook."
When were you first interested in the restaurant business?
I started working in the food industry at 15. I went to university but was always involved in the industry and was somehow drawn to a little café called Le Petit Marche in 1996 and I bought it.
What interested you about this particular kind of restaurant?
In the past I inevitably seemed to end up working at unique and friendly restaurants with plenty of character no matter where I lived. It simply appeals to me to be in that atmosphere whether as an owner or client.
Who have been some of the instrumental people who have really encouraged and supported you through the starting and maintaining of your own restaurant?
I'd have to say I've received the most encouragement from my clients. For example when I first bought my place there was one gentleman who used to eat there every other night. He stuck by me through all the growing pains and changes, and always reminded me the place was special.
What makes your restaurant interesting/unique to other restaurants? Chain restaurants in particular?
I think the overall experience is different from a chain for obvious reasons… menu, staffing, atmosphere to name a few. I have no problem with chains per say but I hope people don't limit themselves to just that experience. It's fun to discover you like something new particularly if it is right in your back yard.
It has been said that the décor of a place often reflects a person's personality. What particular accessory/accent would you say most reflects your personality? What aspect would that be?
The Dish is like a woman in a coat from Holt Renfrew, sneakers from Old Navy and a scarf that her war bride grandmother was wearing when she arrived in Canada. It's got a classy touch, a fun, casual air, and a very warm feel. In that sense it reflects what I like.
What is your vision for the restaurant?
It goes back to that sense of discovery. I want the place to be consistent, but never become predictable. I want it to have a well developed wacky side.
What are the most significant joys and struggles of being an independent restaurant owner?
Well there is rarely a dull moment and you are, as the boss, wholly responsible for your success or failure. Obviously that is the appeal but it is definitely not without ongoing challenges.
Do you have a family? Are they involved in the restaurant?
I have two cats who have declined every offer to become gainfully employed at my business or anywhere else for that matter.
How are you involved in the community around you?
I work with 124 Business Association and the Scott Gallery as well as being part of a building with other merchants all of which contributes to our success.
Do you support any charities?
I try to honor almost all the requests we receive for donations in some way.
Where do the ideas for your food come from? What is the inspiration behind the masterpieces?
We go by word of mouth, and by taste of mouth: we refuse to serve something unless we find it delicious. That's what keeps it personal, and as much an art as a business.
How large a role do ethics play in your choice of products? Do you buy locally/organically/fair trade?
We do use local products and if we must export we make every effort to use small local businesses to provide that product.
Where does the restaurant's name come from?
When we knew we were going to create a second kitchen dedicated to catering we decided we needed two separate names that went well together. I once took a Children's Literature course that explained the true origin of the nursery rhyme and since I found it amusing I used it.
What are some of your interests/hobbies outside of the restaurant business?
I love to travel (an embarrassingly stock answer) and luckily get to more than I used to.

Is it possible to replace a automatic transaxle on a 1997 Toyota paseo? I get the shakes real bad at about 35 and up. It bounces on acceleration on highway coming from the passenger side. I have replaced all 3 motor mounts thinking that was the problem. No such luck. Today I changed the whole passenger side drive axle and I still have the same issue. Now I would assume it would be the transaxle at this point. Any info would greatly help. I am a broke college student and can not afford to go to a mechanic.

I know what you mean about being broke, been there too. But it may be cheaper to at least get a mechanic to check it out.
As he can tell more about it simply by driving it looking at it ect. Things we can only speculate on!
Good luck.

NetSuite Announces SAP Business ByDesign Sunset Migration Program
SAN MATEO, Calif., Oct. 23, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- NetSuite Inc. (NYSE: N), the industry's leading provider of cloud-based financials / ERP and omnichannel commerce software suites, today announced the SAP Business ByDesign Sunset Migration Program, a new migration program for companies running SAP Business ByDesign. Companies that are fed up with SAP's repeated re-architecting, re-positioning and ultimate decision not to significantly invest in the development of Business ByDesign can now turn to NetSuite's proven cloud-based business management system, currently in use by more than 16,000 organizations and subsidiaries worldwide. To learn more about the program, visit www.netsuite.com/sapsunsetmigrationprogram.
While SAP has recently stated in published reports that it is cutting back on the development of Business ByDesign, the cloud ERP product it first brought to market in 2007, NetSuite continues to invest heavily in its leading cloud ERP platform. Under the Business ByDesign Sunset Migration Program, Business ByDesign customers in good standing are eligible for one free year of subscription and free data migration to speed their transition to NetSuite.
Initially launched in 2007, only to be pulled back and re-launched in 2010, Business ByDesign never lived up to the lofty goals of 10,000 customers and $1 billion in revenue SAP set for the project.
"SAP co-CEO Bill McDermott once stated that SAP would see how tough NetSuite was when he threw Business ByDesign like a 99 mile per hour fastball at us. Now, SAP is seeing how tough their customers are by pulling the plug on Business ByDesign," said NetSuite CEO Zach Nelson. "We are ready to turn SAP customers' pain into delight by enabling them to experience the benefits of the most widely used cloud business suite, backed by NetSuite, the industry's leading vendor of cloud ERP software suites."For companies that have already invested heavily in SAP's antiquated on-premise architecture at headquarters, NetSuite OneWorld for SAP is also available, offering a proven method for enjoying the benefits of cloud computing at subsidiaries or distributed business units via a two-tier ERP model. Companies running NetSuite OneWorld at subsidiaries can roll up data to their SAP system at the corporate level with SuiteCloud Connect for SAP, a prebuilt integration based on industry standard technologies including SOAP (Web Services), JavaScript, ODBC and CSV. Today, more than 16,000 companies and subsidiaries depend on NetSuite to run complex, mission-critical business processes globally in the cloud. Since its inception in 1998, NetSuite has established itself as the leading provider of enterprise-class cloud financials/ERP suites for divisions of large enterprises and mid-sized organizations seeking to upgrade their antiquated client/server ERP systems. NetSuite excels at streamlining business operations as demonstrated in a recent Gartner study naming NetSuite as the fastest growing financial management software vendor on a global basis. NetSuite continues its success in delivering the best cloud ERP/financials suites to businesses around the world, enabling them to lower IT costs significantly while increasing productivity, as the global adoption of the cloud is accelerating.

ARANSAS PASS - Two teenagers are facing felony charges after police say someone caught them having sex, at a park, in front of children. It happened in Aransas Pass at the city park on Johnson Street.
Police say around 9:30 Saturday morning a group of kids saw the two having sex on a slide. That's when police say the kids told their grandfather. He walked over and asked the teenagers to stop, but they didn't so he called police.
17-year-old Miisa Viiliainen and 18-year-old Edmund Ugorji were initially charged with public lewdness, but the charges were upgraded since children were present. Viiliainen and Ugorji now face charges for indecency with a child which is a felony.
Police say Ugorji also urinated in front of the children.

CHICAGO (WIFR) -- The Illinois secretary of state office says investigators issued 166 citations worth more than $70,000 during the holiday season in a crackdown on illegal use of disability parking spaces.
Illinois Secretary of State Jesse White's office started the increased enforcement on the day after Thanksgiving and continued throughout the holiday shopping season. His office says 65 people received tickets for improper use of a disability parking space. Another 101 were cited with misuse of a disability parking placard or using a fraudulent placard.
The program was enforced at more than 65 communities statewide. Fines range from $250 to $500.

The liver is the largest organ in the human body. It is also one of the most important ones. The biliary system consists of the bile ducts, gallbladder, and pancreas -- all closely associated with the functioning of the liver.
Some liver, biliary, and pancreatic diseases are congenital (present at birth). Others can be prevented. In any case, whether these diseases are congenital, injury-related, viral-induced, or alcohol-induced, they can be devastating to a person's health and require medical care.

ROSWELL, N.M. (AP) - Chavez County may realign part of the course of the Berrendo River in the Roswell area in the wake of flooding last September.
County Flood Control Superintendent Dick Smith says he's in the early stages of designing a plan to protect homes and businesses next to the river.
The Roswell Daily Record reports that the work could involve straightening the river's current meandering path.
That work could include bypassing a looped section of the river and building a dam to straighten the river.
Smith says removal of excess vegetation helps keep water flowing smoothly but that there was damage from the September flooding nonetheless.

Dot clash in domain gamePUBLISHED: 22 Nov 2012 06:00:00 | UPDATED: 23 Nov 2012 08:03:38PUBLISHED: 22 Nov 2012 PRINT EDITION: 23 Nov 2012
James Hutchinson
The federal government has taken on some of the world's largest companies, including L'Oréal and three Australian organisations, over attempts to own and operate exclusive new internet domains.
This week it issued 129 warnings – the highest number of any government – to companies seeking to own global top-level domains, which would replace the standard .com or .org addresses with the likes of .coke or .book.
The Department of Broadband, Communications and the Digital Economy complained against L'Oréal's application for .beauty, as well as applications from Australian groups Tennis Australia, CPA Australia and Open Universities.
It said allowing domains on generic words such as .food could let a successful applicant maintain unreasonable monopolies on the new addresses.
Other domains such as .sucks – independently applied for by three companies – could force companies or individuals to buy web addresses for purely defensive purposes.
Critics of the recently released .xxx domain said companies would be forced to spend money on new website addresses to stop others from making crude implications.
The warnings mean applicants will have to negotiate with the Australian government to give other companies access to the domains. Applicants can withdraw their applications, receiving an 80 per cent refund on the $US185,000 fee.
A government spokesman said it was not objecting to the applications themselves and wanted to "ensure Australian consumers and businesses are protected".
The government's concerns could culminate in international oversight body ICANN denying an application next year.
"Without proper protections in place, the company given control of the domain .book would be able to unfairly exclude people and businesses from registering websites ending with .book," the spokesman said.
"This is clearly unfair, as well as raising competition and consumer protection concerns."
The government has complained against e-commerce giant Amazon's application for .book, although it is one of nine companies applying for the domain.
The spokesman said the government had contacted the three Australian applicants.
The move to own a slice of internet real estate is seen as a marketing opportunity for some of the world's largest brands but has also become a new internet "land grab", with companies trying to gain the rights to domains such as .navy, .airforce and .army. The Australian and US governments asked for immediate withdrawal of those applications.
An open application process earlier this year attracted 2000 domain applications, including from three of the big four Australian banks.
The government objections will be discussed by an advisory committee to ICANN in April next year.

Seboomook Dam / WB Penobscot River
Posted by: Westbrancher on Jan-08-12 7:24 PM (EST)
I need advice from someone familiar with Seboomook Dam on the West Branch Penobscot, and the rapids below it. I'm planning a cruise from Pittston Farm at the west end of Seboomook Lake and down the WB to Chesuncook and beyond. Judging from various guidebooks, the ledges below the dam are probably beyond my skill level with a fully loaded canoe. What I don't know is how far the rough section extends below the dam. I'm wondering if it is possible to portage the rough stuff and put in below. Is this a crazy idea? I'd appreciate any insight or advice.

first a disclaimer: this is how I did it thirty years ago with the boyscouts about a half dozen times. Definately register and post on the NWPMP for a more current plan.

you're going to want to post on the north east paddlers message board, not the northwest!My typo!if they disagree with me on distances go with their estimates- I find when I go back and paddle something I did a long time ago that I often underestime the distances I once paddled. At one time you could order from usgs detailed map sized satellite images for your whole trip. Each individual rapid should be visible as a white scribble. If you do decide to run the lower set you put in at a large eddy above and around the corner from the first ledge you will run.

I was camping at Canada Falls Lake in Oct. 2011, drove down along Seeboomook from Pittston Farms and the water level in the lake was very very low. Heard they were dropping the lake to work on the dam. Might want to check on the water level prior.

Seth Rogen Talks Hosting the 2012 Spirit Awards, THE APOCALYPSE, PINEAPPLE EXPRESS 2, His Favorite Films of the Year, and More
by Christina Radish Posted 2 years, 306 days ago
Funnyman actor Seth Rogen is taking on hosting duties for the 2012 Film Independent Spirit Awards, being held in a tent on the beach in Santa Monica on February 25th. To promote the gig, he spoke to members of the press about why he thought it seemed like a fun thing to do.
During the interview, Seth Rogen talked about being as nervous about flubbing or tipping while hosting as he is in any element of his life, that he's been watching all of the nominated movies in preparation, the hosting advice he's gotten from Judd Apatow, what films he responded to in 2011 (Take Shelter and Drive) and what he's looking forward to this year (The Dark Knight Rises), the TV shows he enjoys watching (Breaking Bad, 30 Rock and Parks and Recreation), and that Pineapple Express is his favorite film that he's done. He also talked about how his directorial debut, The Apocalypse, is coming along, that he'd like to do a Kung Fu Panda 3, that he doesn't know if there will ever be a Pineapple Express 2, and that he doesn't think there's any chance of there ever being a Freaks and Geeks movie.

Frank Miller (born January 27, 1957)[1] is an American writer, artist, and film director best known for his dark comic book stories and graphic novels such as Ronin, Daredevil: Born Again, The Dark Knight Returns, Sin City and 300. He also directed the film version of The Spirit, shared directing duties with Robert Rodriguez on Sin City and produced the film 300. He is also known for creating the comic book character Elektra.
Miller was born in Olney, Maryland on January 27, 1957,[2] and raised in Montpelier, Vermont,[2] the fifth of seven children of a nurse mother and a carpenter/electrician father.[3] His family was Irish Catholic.[4]
Miller grew up a comics fan, with a letter he wrote to Marvel Comics being published (The Cat #3 (April 1973).[5] His first published work was at Western Publishing's Gold Key Comics imprint, gotten at the recommendation of comics artist Neal Adams, to whom a fledgling Miller, after moving to New York City, had shown samples and received much critique and occasional informal lessons.[6] Though no published credits appear, he is tentatively credited with the three-page story "Royal Feast" in the licensed TV-series comic book The Twilight Zone #84 (June 1978), by an unknown writer,[7] and is credited with the five-page "Endless Cloud", also by an unknown writer, in the following issue (July 1978).[8] By the time of the latter, however, Miller had his first confirmed credit in writer Wyatt Gwyon's six-page "Deliver Me From D-Day", inked by Danny Bulanadi, in Weird War Tales #64 (June 1978).[9]
One-time Marvel editor-in-chief Jim Shooter recalled Miller going to DC Comics after having broken in with "a small job from Western Publishing, I think. Thus emboldened, he went to DC, and after getting savaged by Joe Orlando, got in to see art director Vinnie Colletta, who recognized talent and arranged for him to get a one-page war-comic job".[10] The Grand Comics Database does not list this job; there may have been a one-page DC story, or Shooter may have misremembered the page count or have been referring to the two-page story, by writer Roger McKenzie, "Slowly, painfully, you dig your way from the cold, choking debris..." in Weird War Tales #68 (Oct. 1978).[11] Other fledgling work at DC included the six-page "The Greatest Story Never Told", by writer Paul Kupperberg, in that same issue, and the five-page "The Edge of History", written by Elliot S. Maggin, in Unknown Soldier #219 (Sept. 1978). His first work for Marvel Comics was penciling the 17-page story "The Master Assassin of Mars, Part 3" in John Carter, Warlord of Mars #18 (Nov. 1978).[12]
At Marvel, Miller would settle in as a regular fill-in and cover artist, working on a variety of titles. One of these jobs was drawing Peter Parker, The Spectacular Spider-Man #27–28 (Feb.–March 1979), which guest-starred Daredevil.[13] At the time, sales of the Daredevil title were poor; however, Miller saw something in the character he liked and asked editor-in-chief Jim Shooter if he could work on Daredevil's regular title. Shooter agreed and made Miller the new penciller on the title. As Miller recalled in 2008:
When I first showed up in New York, I showed up with a bunch of comics, a bunch of samples, of guys in trench coats and old cars and such. And [comics editors] said, 'Where are the guys in tights?' And I had to learn how to do it. But as soon as a title came along, when [Daredevil signature artist] Gene Colan left Daredevil, I realized it was my secret in to do crime comics with a superhero in them. And so I lobbied for the title and got it".[3]
Daredevil #158 (May 1979), Miller's debut on that title,[14] was the finale of an ongoing story written by Roger McKenzie and inked by Klaus Janson. Although still conforming to traditional comic book styles, Miller infused this first issue with his own film noir style.[15] After this issue, Miller became one of Marvel's rising stars. Miller sketched the roofs of New York in an attempt to give his Daredevil art an authentic feel not commonly seen in superhero comics at the time. One journalist noted,
"Daredevil's New York, under Frank's run, became darker and more dangerous than the Spider-Man New York he'd seemingly lived in before. New York City itself, particularly Daredevil's Hell's Kitchen neighborhood, became as much a character as the shadowy crimefighter; the stories often took place on the rooftop level, with water towers, pipes and chimneys jutting out to create a skyline reminiscent of German Expressionism's dramatic edges and shadows."[16]
However, sales on Daredevil did not improve, Marvel's management continued to discuss cancellation, and Miller himself almost quit the series, as he disliked McKenzie's scripts.[10] Miller's fortunes changed with the arrival of Denny O'Neil as editor. Realizing Miller's unhappiness with the series, and impressed by a backup story he had written, O'Neil fired McKenzie so that Miller could try writing the series himself.[10][17] Miller and O'Neil would maintain a friendly working relationship throughout his run on the series.[18] With issue #168 (Jan. 1981), Miller took over full duties as writer and penciller. Sales rose so swiftly that Marvel once again began publishing Daredevil monthly rather than bimonthly just three issues after Miller came on as writer.
Issue #168 saw the first full appearance of the ninja mercenary Elektra — who would become a popular character and star in a 2005 motion picture —although her first cover appearance was four months earlier on Miller's cover of The Comics Journal #58.[19] Miller later wrote and drew a solo Elektra story in Bizarre Adventures #28 (Oct. 1981). He also added a martial arts aspect to Daredevil's fighting skills,[18] and introduced previously unseen characters who had played a major part in the character's youth: Stick, leader of the ninja clan the Chaste, who had been Murdock's sensei after he was blinded[20] and a rival clan called the Hand.[21]
Unable to handle both writing and penciling Daredevil on the new monthly schedule, Miller began increasingly relying on Janson for the artwork, sending him looser and looser pencils beginning with #173.[22] By issue #185, Miller had virtually relinquished his role as Daredevil's artist, and was providing only rough layouts for Janson to both pencil and ink, allowing him to focus on the writing.[22]
Miller's work on Daredevil was characterized by darker themes and stories. This peaked when in #181 (April 1982) he had the assassin Bullseye kill Elektra,[23] and Daredevil subsequently attempt to kill him. Miller finished his Daredevil run with issue #191 (Feb. 1983), which he cited in a winter 1983 interview as the issue he is most proud of;[18] by this time he had transformed a second-tier character into one of Marvel's most popular.
Additionally, Miller drew a short Batman Christmas story, "Wanted: Santa Claus – Dead or Alive", written by Denny O'Neil for DC Special Series #21 (Spring 1980). This was his first professional experience with a character with which, like Daredevil, he would become closely associated. At Marvel, O'Neil and Miller collaborated on two issues of The Amazing Spider-Man Annual. The 1980 Annual featured a team-up with Doctor Strange[24] while the 1981 Annual showcased a meeting with the Punisher.[25]
As penciler and co-plotter, Miller, together with writer Chris Claremont, produced the miniseries Wolverine #1–4 (Sept.-Dec. 1982),[26] inked by Josef Rubinstein and spinning off from the popular X-Men title. Miller used this miniseries to expand on Wolverine's character.[27] The series was a critical success and further cemented Miller's place as an industry star.
His first creator-owned title was DC Comics' six-issue miniseries Ronin (1983–1984). This series shows some of the strongest influences of manga and bande dessinée on Miller's style, both in the artwork and narrative style.[28] In 1985, DC Comics named Miller as one of the honorees in the company's 50th-anniversary publication Fifty Who Made DC Great.[29]
Miller was involved in a few unpublished projects in the early 1980s. A house advertisement for Doctor Strange appeared in Marvel Comics cover-dated February 1981. It stated "Watch for the new adventures of Earth's Sorcerer Supreme - - as mystically conjured by Roger Stern and Frank Miller!". Miller's only contribution to the series would be the cover for Doctor Strange #46 (April 1981). Other commitments prevented him from working on the series.[30] Miller and Steve Gerber made a proposal to revamp DC's three biggest characters: Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman, under a line called "Metropolis" and comics titled "Man of Steel" or "The Man of Steel", "Dark Knight" and "Amazon".[31] However, this proposal was not accepted.
In 1986, DC Comics released writer-penciler Miller's Batman: The Dark Knight Returns, a four-issue miniseries printed in what the publisher called "prestige format" — squarebound, rather than stapled; on heavy-stock paper rather than newsprint, and with cardstock rather than glossy-paper covers. It was inked by Klaus Janson and colored by Lynn Varley.
The story tells how Batman retired after the death of the second Robin (Jason Todd), and at age 55 returns to fight crime in a dark and violent future. Miller created a tough, gritty Batman, referring to him as "The Dark Knight" based upon him being called the "Darknight Detective" in some 1970s portrayals. Released the same year as Alan Moore's and Dave Gibbons' DC miniseries Watchmen, it showcased a new form of more adult-oriented storytelling to both comics fans and a crossover mainstream audience. The Dark Knight Returns influenced the comic-book industry by heralding a new wave of darker characters.[32] The trade paperback collection proved to be a big seller for DC and remains in print 25 years after first being published.
By this time, Miller had returned as the writer of Daredevil. Following his self-contained story "Badlands", penciled by John Buscema, in #219 (June 1985), he co-wrote #226 (Jan. 1986) with departing writer Dennis O'Neil. Then, with artist David Mazzucchelli, he crafted a seven-issue story arc that, like The Dark Knight Returns, similarly redefined and reinvigorated its main character. The storyline, "Daredevil: Born Again", in #227–233 (Feb.-Aug. 1986)[33] chronicled the hero's Catholic background, and the destruction and rebirth of his real-life identity, Manhattan attorney Matt Murdock, at the hands of Daredevil's nemesis, the crime lord Wilson Fisk, also known as the Kingpin. After completing the "Born Again" arc, Frank Miller intended to produce a two-part story with artist Walt Simonson but it was never completed and remains unpublished.[34]
Miller and artist Bill Sienkiewicz produced the graphic novel Daredevil: Love and War in 1986. Featuring the character of the Kingpin, it indirectly bridges Miller's first run on Daredevil and Born Again by explaining the change in the Kingpin's attitude toward Daredevil. Miller and Sienkiewicz also produced the eight-issue miniseries Elektra: Assassin for Epic Comics.[35] Set outside regular Marvel continuity, it featured a wild tale of cyborgs and ninjas, while expanding further on Elektra's background. Both of these projects were well received critically. Elektra: Assassin was praised for its bold storytelling, but neither it nor Daredevil: Love and War had the influence or reached as many readers as Dark Knight Returns or Born Again.
Miller's final major story in this period was in Batman issues 404–407 in 1987, another collaboration with Mazzucchelli. Titled Batman: Year One, this was Miller's version of the origin of Batman in which he retconned many details and adapted the story to fit his Dark Knight continuity. Proving to be hugely popular,[36] this was as influential as Miller's previous work and a trade paperback released in 1988 remains in print and is one of DC's best selling books and adapted as an original animated film video in 2011.
Miller had also drawn the covers for the first twelve issues of First Comics English language reprints of Kazuo Koike and Goseki Kojima's Lone Wolf and Cub. This helped bring Japanese manga to a wider Western audience.
During this time, Miller (along with Marv Wolfman, Alan Moore and Howard Chaykin) had been in dispute with DC Comics over a proposed ratings system for comics. Disagreeing with what he saw as censorship, Miller refused to do any further work for DC,[15] and he would take his future projects to the independent publisher Dark Horse Comics. From then on Miller would be a major supporter of creator rights and be a major voice against censorship in comics.
After announcing he intended to release his work only via the independent publisher Dark Horse Comics, Miller completed one final project for Epic Comics, the mature-audience imprint of Marvel Comics. Elektra Lives Again was a fully painted graphic novel written and drawn by Miller and colored by longtime partner Lynn Varley.[37] Telling the story of the resurrection of Elektra from the dead and Daredevil's quest to find her, as well as showing Miller's will to experiment with new story-telling techniques.[38]
1990 saw Miller and artist Geof Darrow start work on Hard Boiled, a three-issue miniseries. The title, a mix of violence and satire, was praised[39] for Darrow's highly detailed art and Miller's writing. At the same time Miller and artist Dave Gibbons produced Give Me Liberty, a four-issue miniseries for Dark Horse. Give Me Liberty was followed by sequel miniseries and specials expanding on the story of protagonist Martha Washington, an African-American woman in modern and near-future southern North America, all of which were written by Miller and drawn by Gibbons.
Miller also wrote the scripts for the science fiction films RoboCop 2 and RoboCop 3, about a police cyborg. Neither was critically well received.[40][41] In 2007, Miller stated that "There was a lot of interference in the writing process. It wasn't ideal. After working on the two Robocop movies, I really thought that was it for me in the business of film."[42] Miller would come into contact with the fictional cyborg once more, however, writing the comic-book miniseries, RoboCop vs. The Terminator, with art by Walter Simonson. In 2003, Miller's screenplay for RoboCop 2 was adapted by Steven Grant for Avatar Press's Pulsaar imprint. Illustrated by Juan Jose Ryp, the series is called Frank Miller's RoboCop and contains plot elements that were divided between RoboCop 2 and RoboCop 3.
In 1991, Miller started work on his first Sin City story. Serialized in Dark Horse Presents #51–62, Miller wrote and drew the story in black and white to emphasize its film noir origins. Proving to be another success, the story was released in a trade paperback. This first Sin City "yarn" was rereleased in 1995 under the name The Hard Goodbye. Sin City proved to be Miller's main project for much of the remainder of the decade, as Miller told more Sin City stories within this noir world of his creation, in the process helping to revitalize the crime comics genre.[43] Sin City proved artistically auspicious for Miller and again brought his work to a wider audience without comics. Miller lived in Los Angeles, California in the 1990s, which influenced Sin City.[44]
Daredevil: The Man Without Fear was a five issue miniseries published by Marvel Comics in 1993. In this story, Miller and artist John Romita, Jr. told Daredevil's origins differently from in the previous comics, and provided additional detail to his beginnings.[45] Miller also returned to superheroes by writing issue #11 of Todd McFarlane's Spawn, as well as the Spawn/Batman crossover for Image Comics.[46]
In 1995, Miller and Darrow collaborated again on Big Guy and Rusty the Boy Robot, published as a two-part miniseries by Dark Horse Comics. In 1999 it became an animated series on Fox Kids. During this period, Miller became one of the founding members of the comic imprint Legend, under which many of his Sin City works were released, via Dark Horse. Also, it was during the 1990s that Miller did cover art for many titles in the Comics Greatest World/Dark Horse Heroes line.
Written and illustrated by Frank Miller with painted colors by Varley, 300 was a 1998 comic-book miniseries, released as a hardcover collection in 1999, retelling the Battle of Thermopylae and the events leading up to it from the perspective of Leonidas of Sparta. 300 was particularly inspired by the 1962 film The 300 Spartans, a movie that Miller watched as a young boy.[47] In 2007, 300 was adapted by director Zack Snyder into a successful film.
Miller moved back to Hell's Kitchen by 2001 and was creating Batman: The Dark Knight Strikes Again as the 9/11 terrorist attacks occurred about four miles from that neighborhood.[48] His differences with DC Comics put aside, he saw the sequel initially released as a three-issue miniseries, and though it sold well,[citation needed] it received a mixed to negative reception.[citation needed] Miller also returned to writing Batman in 2005, taking on the writing duties of All Star Batman & Robin, the Boy Wonder, a series set inside of what Miller describes as the "Dark Knight Universe."[49] and drawn by Jim Lee.
Miller has said he opposes naturalism in comic art. In an interview on the documentary Legends of the Dark Knight: The History of Batman,[50] he said, "People are attempting to bring a superficial reality to superheroes which is rather stupid. They work best as the flamboyant fantasies they are. I mean, these are characters that are broad and big. I don't need to see sweat patches under Superman's arms. I want to see him fly."
Miller's previous attitude towards movie adaptations was to change after Robert Rodriguez made a short film based on a story from Miller's Sin City entitled "The Customer is Always Right". Miller was pleased with the result, leading to him and Rodriguez directing a full length film, Sin City using Miller's original comics panels as storyboards. The film was released in the U.S. on April 1, 2005. The film's success brought renewed attention to Miller's Sin City projects. Similarly, a film adaptation of 300, directed solely by Zack Snyder, brought new attention and controversy to Miller's original comic book work. A sequel to the film, based around Miller's second Sin City series, A Dame to Kill For, will be released in theaters August 22, 2014.[51]
Until their divorce in 2005,[52] Miller was married to colorist Lynn Varley, who colored many of his most acclaimed works (from Ronin in 1984 through 300 1998), and the backgrounds to the 2007 movie 300. He has since been romantically linked to New York-based Shakespearean scholar Kimberly Halliburton Cox,[53][54][55] who had a cameo in The Spirit (2008).
In November 2011, Miller posted remarks pertaining to the Occupy Wall Street movement in his blog, calling it "nothing but a pack of louts, thieves, and rapists" and said of the movement, "Wake up, pond scum. America is at war against a ruthless enemy. Maybe, between bouts of self-pity and all the other tasty tidbits of narcissism you've been served up in your sheltered, comfy little worlds, you've heard terms like al-Qaeda and Islamicism." [56][57] Miller's statement generated controversy.[58]
In October 2012, Joanna Gallardo-Mills, who began working for Miller as an executive coordinator in November 2008, filed suit against Miller in Manhattan for discrimination and "mental anguish", stating that Miller's girlfriend, Kimberly Cox, created a hostile work environment for Gallardo-Mills in Miller and Cox's Hell's Kitchen living/work space.[59]
Daredevil: Born Again and The Dark Knight Returns were both critical successes and influential on a new generation of creators. Batman: Year One was met with even greater praise for its gritty style. Works such as Ronin, 300 and Sin City were also very successful. However, fellow comic book writer Alan Moore has described Miller's work from Sin City-onwards as homophobic and misogynistic, despite praising his early Batman and Daredevil work. Moore previously penned a flattering introduction to an early collected edition of The Dark Knight Returns.[60] Batman: The Dark Knight Strikes Again, a sequel to The Dark Knight Returns, received mixed reviews, while All Star Batman and Robin the Boy Wonder in particular consistently received harsh criticism and was hailed as a sign of Miller's creative decline.[61][62][63] The filmatization of 300 has been perceived as promoting fascist values,[64][65][66][67] as denigrating Iranians,[68][69][70][71][72][73][74] and as hate speech against disabled people.[75][76] Holy Terror has been accused of being anti-Islamic propaganda.[77] In addition, some of Miller's works have been accused of lacking "humanity,"[78] particularly in regard to the abundance of prostitutes portrayed in Sin City.[79] In terms of his film work, Miller's scripts for Robocop 2 and 3 were unsuccessful, while his 2008 film adaptation of Will Eisner's The Spirit met with largely negative reviews, earning a metascore of 30/100 at the review aggregation site Metacritic.com.[80]
Frank Miller has appeared in five films in small, cameo roles, dying in each.
Miller was a producer for the film 300, which was adapted shot-for-shot into a feature film in 2007. The 2003 film version of Daredevil predominantly use the tone established and stories written by Miller, who had no direct creative input on the film (except for a cameo appearance). A two-part direct-to-DVD animated movie based on The Dark Knight Returns was released in 2012 and 2013 respectively. The Wolverine, released in 2013 was based on the 1982 Wolverine miniseries that Miller penciled with writer Chris Claremont.

Looking at both C-Touch and smarts touch screen/projectorless screens, in a direct comparison, the C-Touch product is far better.
Both are around the same price, although i liked the idea of the pc being built into the C-Touch for a little extra. Only the power cable on show then, meaning very clean installs where ever you want them. At £3,000 a good price too, as we spend up to around £2,000 on a smart board/projector install

I was going to wish you all "Happy" Memorial Day, but I don't think that's protocol.
Anyway, bloggers get the day off too — especially after all that Bat Mitzvah action. (It was wonderful! Such nachas!)
This seemed like a great day to re-visit this dLife success story of an Army Sergeant on active duty who was diagnosed with diabetes:
Being a soldier with diabetes ain't easy, but it can be done.
Meanwhile, the authorities note: "If you have a strong desire to join the military and a history of diabetes, then document your whole medical and visit your local recruiter. There are alot of occupations in any military, not only on in front line service."
For example, here's another story about a guy with diabetes who insisted on finding a place for himself in this country's armed forces.

Rating: PG-13
Batten down the hatches and fluff up the pillows! Grif and Jenny Henderson are sailing for Europe - and bound for marital mayhem.
With their expected comic precision, James Garner and Debbie Reynolds play the Hendersons in a spirited romp from three masters of laughter on home and movie house screens: writer-producers Garry Marshall and Jerry Belson and director Jerry Paris. The Hendersons are a loving, All-American couple who try to bridge the generation gap with their free-spirited son on a trip abroad. But once on the continent, family relations run aground when some teenage girls enter the picture - and a scheming French playboy (Maurice Ronet) focuses his roving eye on Jenny. Frisky business and misunderstandings galore ensue, all funny, vibrant and charming. That's How Sweet It Is!
A con artist goes from no good to doing good when he is sentenced to a job in the dead letter department at the post office.
Opening scene, Ray Walston (as Kos) with mystic Mitre (Mary Ellen O'Neill) playing with some computer-thing and planning the mission, in producer Roger Corman's Galaxy Of Terror, 1981.
More Clips & Interviews
In the 1970's, Dickie Roberts held the keys to success as a child star with a hit TV series. Now the only keys Dickie holds are the ones that start the customer's cars that he parks as a valet attendant for a Hollywood restaurant. Desparate to revive his acting career, Dickie tries to audition for a role in Rob Reiner's new movie but the director doesn't believe Dickie is normal enough to play the part. Determined to get the role, Dickie hires a "typical" family to give him the real-life upbringing he never had. But once Dickie moves in, the family's life becomes anything but normal as Dickie unleashes his wild inner child...and learns in the process some unforgettable lessons about fame, fortune and family values. Co-starring Mary McCormack, Jon Lovitz, Alyssa Milano and many former child stars including Danny Bonaduce, Barry Williams and Leif Garett.

Former child actress Erin Moran, who played Joanie Cunningham on Happy Days, is homeless and living in motels with her husband, Steve Fleischmann, the National Enquirer reports.
The Happy Days cast is decidedly unhappy about not winning the jackpot on merchandise using their likenesses on slot machines, comic books, lunch boxes and other collectibles.
Erin Moran, Donny Most, Marion Ross, Anson Williams and the estate of the late Tom Bosley claim that CBS, which owns the show, hasn't paid them money they're owed under their contracts, CNN reports. Their attorney, Jon Pfeiffer, filed a breach-of-contract lawsuit Tuesday in Los Angeles Superior Court.

OCALA, Fla., December 3, 2013 — America now begins its transition to a new year, one with midterm congressional elections and numerous state races. Partisan politics run more rampant at this time than any other in modern history.
In spite of that, very few understand the true nature of our nation's leading political parties.
SEE RELATED: The inconvenient truth about abortion and American politics
Today's partisan alignment of "conservatives" and "liberals" only came about after Richard Nixon's presidency. Prior to that, both the Democratic and Republican parties boasted a healthy variety of governing philosophies.
Conformism was for small minds back then.
Since the Civil War Era, the Democratic Party has represented folks who harbor politically-relevant grievances. The GOP, meanwhile, stood for and still champions the preservation of socioeconomic norms.
This does not mean that the Democrats were progressives, and the Republicans reactionaries. Far from it.
Many Democrats, who were either of Scots-Irish, Irish Catholic, or some other ethnic European heritage, had fiercely conservative ideas on social policy. Because of their relative material poverty, however, most were sympathetic to fiscal leftism.
Republicans, on the other hand, were mainly capitalistic Anglo-Saxon Protestants and, though they were small in number, Reform Jews.
Both WASPs and Reform Jews tended to be on the wealthier side, and valued intellectual inquiry. Secularism came with the territory, as did libertarian ideas regarding social issues. The society which they created in places like New York City, Philadelphia, Cincinnati, and San Francisco, among others, was a continuation of the high European tradition.
Democrats, who also included WASPs and virtually all others from the Civil War-ravaged South, were resentful of the GOP establishment. Eventually, a building block set of ethnic groups formed under the guise of making friends the enemy of one's enemy.
Though Democratic constituencies usually had little in common with one another, they all wanted a slice of America's storied apple pie. Many also planned on enshrining the values of their ancestral homeland into this country's public policy. Such a thing was the forerunner to present-day multiculturalism.
While the years passed and alliances shifted, sometimes radically, one thing never failed to remain the same. The Democratic Party is backed by individuals who want change, and the Republican Party is supported by folks who long for things to remain the same.
Right and left — much less conservatism, liberalism, progressivism or libertarianism — are irrelevant to this.
So, in a comprehensive sense, neither of America's major political parties can be deemed left or right. They sure do have a record of despising one another, though.
That never fails to shine through, unfortunately.

NCIS Review: Mike Franks' Swan Songby Steve Marsi at . Comments
From the opening scene, you knew this would be not just an unusual episode of NCIS, but a somber, dark and gut-wrenching installment that would leave viewers reeling.
The aptly-titled "Swan Song" began with Gibbs stoically standing in the rain, helplessly watching a body bag carted off. As promised, the victim was a major NCIS figure.
Even as the story unfolded in reverse, with dots connected throughout the night, the identity of the person ins the bag and the toll this loss took on Gibbs were obvious.
NCIS doesn't usually try methods such as having Mike (or the memories of Mike) talk to Gibbs throughout the case, hovering over his shoulder, as if he were really there.
For a time, of course, he was. But the Mike Franks we first saw last night spoke to Jethro from beyond the grave, shrouding the episode in both mystery and emotion.
If there were any doubts that Jethro's mentor was the victim, they were cleared up during Duck's autopsy. Gibbs was present, yet absent, like Mike in a different sense.
Perhaps the fact that it was so different made it all the more effective. Rather than having Franks killed as a shocker at the end, we were left wondering how and why.
It worked extremely well not only because many fans guessed Franks would be this week's victim, but because it set up a terrific "Swan Song" for this great character.
Like the old dog he referenced, Franks knew his time had come, and he went out in style, picking a fight the Port-to-Port Killer never saw coming and nearly winning it.Mike looked noticeably pale and unwell, not to mention noticeably older, in human form than in Gibbs' mental images. You can't help but wonder if he was gravely ill.
That may also explain how Gibbs lives with what happened going forward. Had he not called Mike, he would be alive today ... or would he? Not if he were terminal.
Instead, perhaps Jethro offered the man who took him under his wing a fitting sendoff, and in a tangential way, broke open a case that flummoxed him on many levels.
That doesn't mean Mike's murder wasn't brutal to stomach for Probie or anyone else. For Gibbs, letting go of Franks would be like everyone else letting go of Gibbs.
The scene where the elevator opened and McGee was holding Abby just as Tony was with Ziva, and Tony telling them to "bring it in" for a group hug was powerful.
Given everything that's gone on - and is still going on - viewers probably felt they needed a hug too. After all, the monster who did this to Franks is still on the loose.
Franks' death became the latest chapter in the hunt for the P2P, who we now know by name (Jonas Cobb) and received a full bio on thanks to a one-eyed Trent Cort.
The shady CIA agent's role filled in a number of blanks.
First, it explained the eyeball. It was his, which made sense, given the Company's propensity for gaining access to everything. More importantly, it legitimized the P2P.
Making viewers fear Cobb on a show in which murderers are hunted every week is a difficult task, but Cort's description and thoroughly disturbing videos did the job.
The P2P is a trained assassin, crafted by the CIA to do its "wet work" while remaining undercover as a run-of-the-mill serviceman. Only after his first kill, he went rogue.
After making a mockery of military hierarchy by slaying his first group of victims, the killer is now evolving, tracking the people tracking him. But Franks wasn't a target.
Cobb was conducting "research" on Gibbs, lurking inside NCIS and outside his home. Just as Gibbs and Vance study each other, the killer observes. He learns. He waits.
Interestingly, it was when Gibbs confronted Vance about their personal battles that he gained insight into why Cobb came to his house - and where he went next.
Franks forced Cobb into a kill-or-be-killed situation, but the P2P didn't want Gibbs. He wanted Barrett and her team members, baiting them into a terrifying trap.
Despite widespread animosity for E.J. and the new guys, you couldn't watch this and not feel awful. She walked right into this haunting, deadly trap and had no idea.
Will E.J. survive? It doesn't look good, but Gibbs and Vance are on the same page now. Jethro's running point, fueled by the demise of his mentor. It is ON next week.
Presumably because of its format, NCIS doesn't get much Emmy love, but that should change, because this was one of the most superbly written episodes of TV you'll see.
Weaving this complicated web in such compelling fashion, with precise attention to detail and continuity years in the making, is no easy task. Kudos to everyone involved.
I'm drained after watching, then writing about these events that evoked so much emotion and so many thoughts. It's hard to do them justice. So I turn it over to you:
What did you think of last night's NCIS? Discuss below!
Steve Marsi is the Managing Editor of TV Fanatic. Follow him on Google+ or email him here.Tags: NCIS, Reviews
Really BAD move killing off Mike Franks. Like M*A*S*H* killing off Col. Blake, I think this will be looked back on as a real mistake in an otherwise almost perfect show. And I agree, Vance needs to move on. He doesn't fit.
I sure hope they bring Mike Franks back from time to time, either in thoughts, as a dream, or something. He was good for the show. His rugged, frankly speaking, strength was good for the show, for Gibbs and everyone else. Bring him back. He is one of those fits that is as integral to the show as the other characters are as well. Now wouldn't this be a riot, have him come back and be a replacement for Vance!!! Wouldn't the fur fly then!!!
why did you have to kill franks off. he is a permanent part of the show. he is perfect with gibbs. i am also not liking dir. vance. he doesnt fit, just like jamie lee curtis. put franks back and get rid of vance and curtis. you are losing fans by doing the things that eliminate the best characters.make mike franks death a dream and bring him back. also, why did dir. sheppard die, the sexual tension between her and gibbs was also a plus to the show. they fit together.
why did you have mike franks killed. he was a wonderful part of the ncis family. you need to bring him back. stop messing with a wonderful show. you tried to add jamie lee curtis, she doesnt fit. franks does. some of the things you are doing makes me not want to watch. it hurts the show. i am a loyal fan for now. bring franks back.
I miss Mike.Him and Gibbs were great togeter. I love the show and ever one on it.
I am with all of the above commentors..Why would you ever kill off Mike Franks???...He was an essential part of the NCIS group...He kept Gibbs grounded and just said what he meant and did not beat around the bush...I loved that character...If, in fact, he was ill in real life I can understand writing him out of the show but give us a hint that was the case and let him enjoy his last days in Mexico with his granddaughter...although the Mike Franks character would probably like to go out in style..six guns blazing....I hate that he was written off
Great show and I love it. I wish thew made Tony and Ziva relationship more intimate.
Please find a way to bring Muse Watson / Mike Franks back.
Let him have lived and went undercover with the Pysch Ops or something similar and resurface if he or Gibbs needed the help.
Muse Watson is a powerful actor and Franks, a powerful character. He balances Gibbs out and is the only one Gibbs can talk and lean on.
WHY did Muse Watson leave NCIS or did NCIS let him go?
NCIS is not the same with Mike Franks gone! Why in the world did they write his character out of the show? Makes no sense to me!
