Comics A.M. | Graphic novel sales jump 38% over January 2012
Publishing | Comics sales were up 22 percent in the direct market over January 2012, and graphic novels increased by nearly 38 percent. This good news is tempered a bit by the fact there were five Wednesdays in this January (or 25 percent more Wednesdays, if you want to look at it that way), but that fifth week is usually a quiet one for new releases, so I think we can call this a win. The retail news and analysis site ICv2 credits Marvel NOW! and a strong backlist for the boost. [ICv2]
Publishing | Dark Horse's video-game art book The Legend of Zelda: Hyrule Historia last week was the No. 1 book in the United States, according to Nielsen BookScan — not merely in the graphic novel category, but in any category. The initial print run was 400,000 copies. (Comic Book Resources interviewed the book's editor Patrick Thorpe last month.) [ICv2]
Comics A.M. | Rob Liefeld is a 'Doer'; critic Les Coleman passes away
Creators | For Slate's "Doers" feature — "People who accomplish great things, and how they do it" — David Wiegel spotlights Rob Liefeld's decision to revive his Extreme Studios line by handing over the properties to creators like Brandon Graham, Joe Keatinge and Tim Seeley. Acknowledging his critics prefer these new versions of Glory, Prophet and Bloodstrike to his originals, Liefeld tells the website, ""The internet snark has zero effect on me. I was there 20 years ago, I'm out there on the convention circuit, I experience the real and tangible enthusiasm for me and my work. You can't rewrite the history books, you can't eliminate the impact of my work and my characters. […] Rob Liefeld is to today as Michael Jackson and Michael Jordan are to my kids." [Slate.com]
Passings | Paul Gravett pays tribute to the late British writer and critic Les Coleman. [Paul Gravett]
What Are You Reading? with James Asmus
Welcome to What Are You Reading? Today's special guest is writer and comedian James Asmus, who you know from Gambit, Thief of Thieves and the just-released The End Times of Bram & Ben.

Five-star shelves from 4-Star Studios
For ROBOT 6's fourth-anniversary celebration, I wanted to find some special Shelf Porn, and luckily I remembered that Tim Seeley of Hack/Slash, Revival and ExSanguine (among others) fame had mentioned he might be willing to share some with us a few months ago (around the time I interviewed him for our Robot Roulette feature). So I dropped a note to Tim, who grabbed his camera and started snapping pictures at the studio he shares with several other comic creators. So big thanks to Tim and the rest of the folks at 4-Star Studios!
If you have some shelves of comics, action figures or other related collectibles you'd like to show off, send me a write-up and some jpgs at email@example.com.
And now here's Tim:
Exclusive | Dark Horse to collect Dan Jolley's Bloodhound
Travis Clevinger, the lead character in Dan Jolley's Bloodhound, is a convicted murderer with no superpowers who is released from prison at the request of the FBI so he can track down a serial killer. First published in 2004 by DC Comics, the DC Universe series, which featured art by Leonard Kirk and Robin Riggs, received good reviews but never quite found its audience and was never collected. That is, until now.
Bloodhound has found a new home at Dark Horse, which in June will publish issues 1-4 and 6-10 as a collected edition, titled Bloodhound, Vol. 1: Brass Knuckle Psychology, with 198 pages of comics plus an introduction by Kurt Busiek, an afterword by Ivan Cohen, and standalone art by Jamal Igle, Mike Norton, Tim Seeley and others. Where is Issue 5? Read our exclusive interview with Jolley to find out, and to get the backstory on Bloodhound.
Robot 6: Since it's been a while, can you refresh us about what Bloodhound is about?
Dan Jolley: Bloodhound is about Travis "Clev" Clevenger, a huge, brutal, ex-Atlanta police detective who specializes in tracking down superhuman criminals. Clev had the city's best record for finding and dealing with superhumans, thanks to a knack for understanding their thought processes. Unfortunately, he had also been having an on-again-off-again affair with his partner Vince's wife, Trish, for a number of years, and when Vince found out, he attacked Clev with a crowbar. Clev killed Vince and got sentenced to prison.
Robot Roulette | Tim Seeley
Welcome once again to Robot Roulette, our interview feature where we throw random questions at comic creators and see how they respond. We've come up with 36 possible questions, and each week I will randomly select which of those questions our guest has to answer.
Today Tim Seeley, who you can find on Twitter and DeviantArt, takes my random questions and turns them into gold. Seeley is sometimes an artist, sometimes a writer, and sometimes both — you know him from Hack/Slash, Revival, Bloodstrike, Witchblade, Ex Sanguine and many more. My thanks to Tim for answering my questions.
Comics A.M. | Stan Lee cancels Ohio Comic Con appearance
Creators | Following last week's news that Stan Lee has canceled his sold-out Thursday engagement at a Toledo library event due to "a very serious circumstance," Wizard World has announced the 89-year-old writer won't be appearing as scheduled at this weekend's Ohio Comic Con in Columbus. Responding to a blog post titled, "Is Stan Lee OK?" the administrator of the Stan Lee's Comikaze Facebook page wrote, "It sucks Stan had to cancel [the Toledo event], but you know the man doesn't just do conventions. he puts in a hard days work creating. Its really sad that the Toledo Blade had to go spread nonsense. If you want to be up to date on stan then follow us, cuz he kinda owns our company. Its sad that a some blogs are scaring fans. not really nice." [The Beat]

Food or Comics? | Tales Designed to Sizzlean
Welcome to Food or Comics?, where every week we talk about what comics we'd buy at our local comic shop based on certain spending limits — $15 and $30 — as well as what we'd get if we had extra money or a gift card to spend on a splurge item.
Check out Diamond's release list or ComicList, and tell us what you're getting in our comments field.
Graeme McMillan
While the offerings on show at my local comic store this week won't compare with those available at Comic-Con International, if I had $15 this week, I'd pick up Sean Murphy's Punk Rock Jesus #1 (DC/Vertigo, $2.99), the new Bloodshot #1 (Valiant, $3.99) and the final issue of the enjoyable Kirby: Genesis #8 (Dynamite, $3.99); the first for the art alone (I know very little about the story, but Murphy's art is always worth checking out), the second for the high concept, and the third for the payoff that I know is coming from Kurt Busiek, Alex Ross and Jack Herbert's resuscitation of the King's concepts after following the series thus far.
That said, if I only had $30, I'd put both Punk Rock Jesus and Bloodshot back on the racks for another week, and add Darwyn Cooke's new Parker adaptation, Richard Stark's Parker: The Score (IDW, $24.99) to my pile, instead. Cooke's Parker books are consistently must-buys, and I can't see why this one would be any different.
Comics A.M. | Bring your ID to SDCC; artist turned away at border
Conventions | Heidi MacDonald reports that the organizers of San Diego Comic Con are tightening up on badges with measures that include matching the name on the badge to the user's ID to prevent counterfeiting and illegal resale. Amusingly, you don't have to go too far down the comment thread to see someone blaming Twilight fans. [The Beat]
Legal | Canadian artist Craig Wilson didn't make it to this weekend's Phoenix Comicon because U.S. Customs and Border Protection turned him away, saying he needed a work permit to sell comics at his Artist Alley table. Not only that, Wilson was also thumb printed and his car was searched. He said the customs agents even sent a notice to the other border crossings in case he tried to enter the country somewhere else. "I'm paying my own table at the con, hotel, meals, drinks …" Wilson said. "I was going to inject close to $2000.00 dollars into the very economy I was supposedly threatening." [boardguy]

C2E2 | A round-up of news from Friday (and before)
Publishers, creators, retailers and fans rolled into Chicago this weekend for the Chicago Comics and Entertainment Expo, or C2E2. While the convention officially kicked off Friday, the announcements started rolling out Thursday during the Diamond Retailer Summit. After going through Kiel Phegley's lengthy report on CBR, I've pulled out a few tidbits that publishers shared with attending retailers:
• Dynamite Entertainment shared that the first issue of Garth Ennis and Aaron Campbell's The Shadow, which comes out next week, will likely go to second print. Following their Vampirella and Pantha projects, they also plan to roll out more of the former Harris Publications characters they now own, and they said they plan to work again with Kevin Smith in the future, who they've worked with on Bionic Man and Green Hornet.
• Dark Horse Comics announced two Buffy the Vampire Slayer spinoff miniseries; one featuring Spike and one featuring Willow (Editor Scott Allie spoke more about them with CBR). In addition, legendary artist Russ Heath will draw some pages in an upcoming issue of Buffy. Dark Horse will launch a new Dragon Age series in August, following the online miniseries that's been running on Dark Horse Digital. They also confirmed that Becky Cloonan will return to Conan after James Harren's three issues, and they announced Ex Sanguine, a five-issue miniseries by Tim Seeley and Josh Emmons. Finally, The Goon will go monthly with issue #40.
ECCC | A round-up of announcements from the convention
The Emerald City Comicon wrapped up yesterday in Seattle, with plenty of announcements from attending publishers. Here's a round-up of news from the show:
• Image Comics officially announced Revival by Tim Seeley ad Mike Norton, the title we teased all last week. Seeley described the book as "rural noir," and it is set in his home state of Wisconsin: "Both Mike and I grew up in small towns, he in Tennessee, me in Wisconsin. We both hated the towns we were from as teenagers and young adults and got the hell out," Seeley told CBR. "But, now that we're both older, we can look on those towns with more understanding and affection. Central Wisconsin is a really interesting place. It's like concentrated America. It has all of the strengths and all of the weaknesses. All of the good stuff, and all of the conflicts on a more intimate scale. We thought it'd be the perfect setting for our story of a cop charged with policing the dead."
• James Stokoe will write and draw Godzilla: Half Century War, which arrives from IDW in August. The miniseries is set in a different continuity than the Godzilla ongoing series by Duane Swierczyski and Simon Gane.
• Writer Christos Gage will team with artist Jorge Lucas for Sunset, an original graphic novel from Top Cow's Minotaur Press. The story revolves around a retired Vegas mob enforcer.
Teaser: The dead walk again in this summer's Revival
Our final teaser this week for Tim Seeley and Mike Norton's new comic from Image Comics isn't so much a teaser–their new title, Revival, will come out in July, and as noted above, it apparently isn't an undead/zombie title. More details about the project will be revealed later today on Comic Book Resources and at the Emerald City Comicon.
Teaser: God loves The Pack
To answer Rob's question from earlier in this week: Yes, the Greenbay Packers only hope of winning the Super Bowl is to stack their team with undead players.
We'll have one final teaser tomorrow for Tim Seeley and Mike Norton's new comic from Image; check out the previous teasers from Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday for more small-town newspaper fun.

Love to join in webcast this Saturday. Will bring my knitting.
Bootstrap: Building a marketing strategy from scratch
One of the best things about launching a new business is not having to do things simply because "it's the way they've always been done." More and more, I see, both in theory and practice, the idea of community building as core to product marketing strategy.
Yesterday, I wrote about how customer service, including customer acquisition and retention, is on the brink of experiencing a renaissance of sorts where interactions between businesses and customers will be more closely crafted and nurtured. In the world of abundance in content and availability, the details of the experience play an essential role.
In keeping with that tone, Holocene has decided that the core of our marketing strategy is based on transparency, openness, two way dialogues, and relationship building. We're trying, as much as possible, to step away from the broadcast model which equates "eyeballs" with awareness.
One of the biggest misconceptions related to user behavior, whether it be in regards to usage or marketing/sales data is that of assumed intent. The old model of circulation numbers for print publications and "ad views" online assumes that every impression counts and has the same level of impact. This is simply not true. Simply being shown something on a screen does not allow us to determine anything more about the viewer. We cannot assume she read it and decided, consciously, to ignore it. Nor can we assume that a click is a sign of intention to purchase. People click on things by accident. Or perhaps they simply want more information and do not intend on buying anything.
The point is that old models are lackluster in not only how they function, but in the somewhat presumptuous data they offer.
As such, our model is based on community. We believe that we are building a product which will serve a community of DIYers, makers, and crafters. But, we also know that we are not the only service provider to that community. In fact, we love the other service providers in the community because we are part of it.
What I am talking about is not the caricatured community manager who posts cat videos all day long. I am talking about actually serving a community. Being part of a thriving group who meet up online and across the world. Understanding customers intrinsically because you are one of them.
And so, we are starting small; as you have to start somewhere. We are going to be rolling out, over the next bit of time, a number of features and events across the web, and in person, which are for and about our unique community. We are actively looking to build relationships with the members of the DIY community. And we encourage two way communication; our purpose is not about broadcasting, but dialog. We want everyone to be involved.
PS If you are a knitter, or simply want to get to know us, Kim and I will be hosting our first virtual Stitch n Bitch this Saturday at 4pm EST. Find one of us on Twitter or leave a comment here if you'd like to drop in and say hi!
For those of you in a marketing role, if you could start from scratch, what would your strategy be?

Perhaps this article would have been better titled "WHY We Are Building a Marketing Strategy From Scratch".
Your current title implies that you will actually be offering some helpful information regarding the building of a marketing strategy. Instead, you offered a bunch of nothing.
Next time I'll think twice before clicking on a link to one of your articles.

How to prepare for next year's taxes now
Updated On: Apr 15 2014 10:15:00 AM EDT
As we mark this year's Tax Day, it's not too early to start thinking about next year. To avoid the chaos that can come with filing taxes, use these tips to start preparing for next year's return.
Start filing: Dedicate a box to all of your documents that you will need to file next year's taxes. As you accumulate these throughout the year, put them into the box. When it's time to do your taxes all of your materials will already be gathered.
Adjust your withholding: Depending on the size of your return this year, you might want to adjust your withholding now to either get a larger return next year, or get a smaller return and more cash throughout the year.
Look over financial documents: While there is time, review all of your financial documents as you get them throughout the year to ensure they are accurate. This will save you headaches during next year's tax season.
Keep up with tax news: Throughout the year there will be changes to the tax code. To make sure you know the latest on what's deductible pay attention to any changes throughout the year.
Find a tax specialist: If you are in the need of a tax specialist for next year, now is the time to look. As your friends and family who prepared their taxes and search for recommendations.
Keep a list of questions: If you have questions throughout the year about your taxes, keep a running list so you can ask your tax professional when it is time to file.

When I teach the REALTOR Senior Advisor class with the Minneapolis Association of REALTORs, I usually throw in a few jokes to keep it fun. Keeping the attention of professionals who are used to constantly moving, and interacting with people is like trying to nail jello to a wall!
This one is a favorite:
The following "Senior" personal ads seen in Florida and Arizona
newspapers: Who says seniors don't have a sense of humor?
FOXY LADY: Sexy, fashion-conscious blue-haired beauty, 80's slim,5'-4" (used to be 5-6), searching for sharp-looking, sharp-dressing companion. Matching white shoes and belt a plus.
LONG-TERM COMMITMENT: Recent widow who has just buried fourth husband looking for someone to round out a six-unit plot. Dizziness, fainting, shortness of breath not a problem.
SERENITY NOW: I am into solitude, long walks, sunrises, the ocean, yoga and meditation. If you are the silent type, let's get together, take our hearing aids out and enjoy quiet times.
WINNING SMILE: Active grandmother with original teeth seeking a dedicated flosser to share rare steaks, corn on the cob and caramel candy.
BEATLES OR STONES? I still like to rock, still like to cruise in my Camaro on Saturday nights and still like to play the guitar. If you were a groovy chick, or are now a groovy hen, let's get together and listen to my eight-track tapes.
MINT CONDITION: Male, 1922, high mileage, good condition, some hair, many new parts including hip, knee, cornea, valves. Isn't in running condition, but walks well.
MEMORIES: I can usually remember Monday through Thursday. If you can remember Friday, Saturday and Sunday, let's put our two heads together.

Over the next week or so, we'll be posting a few articles about who will and who won't be making the Washington Nationals roster on Opening Day 2012. This is always an interesting adventure that can be drastically changed by unexpected trades and offseason acquisitions; we'll try to be Nostradamus anyway. Once we finish the series, we'll hold ourselves accountable in the Spring once the roster is made official. Feel free to hit us up on Twitter (@TheNatsBlogJoe), on Facebook, or in the Comments if you agree or disagree.
Today, we'll discuss position players that are roster locks: those that will make the roster unless they're hurt.
Ryan Zimmerman: Zimmerman is the no-brainer here. The franchise player who is due an absurdly long extension and a bunch of money, hopefully this offseason, will certainly be with the team on Opening Day. If he's healthy, next year should be yet another year that shows why Zimm is among the best 3rd basemen in all of baseball.
Jayson Werth: Werth is the $126 million man, so there's no chance he doesn't show up to start next season. Not to mention, after a devastatingly bad start, Werth ended up the season with a 2.5 WAR, a reasonable 20 HR, and sported a .255/.345/.426 slash line for a .770 OPS in the 2nd half. Werth won't start next season like he did this season, and that alone will help the team tremendously.
Michael Morse: We've covered Morse's value in excruciating detail this season, most recently in the post Nationals MVP: Michael Morse. The title basically speaks for itself, but numbers and explanation is inside.
Danny Espinosa: Espinosa started the year as a Rookie of the Year candidate and will get votes for the NL Gold Glove at 2nd base. His offensive numbers likely aren't good enough to get him the Gold Glove, talk about ludicrous reasoning, and he's a rookie, which doesn't help. Look for Espinosa to be a crucial part of the Nats infield next year and for many years to come.
Wilson Ramos: This young catcher's first full major league season was, by all accounts, a resounding success. He ended the season with a .267/.334/.445 slash line and 15 homers, which is exactly what you hope to get from him. Not to mention, he was good for 3.1 WAR. Ramos' claim to fame is his defense, and he had a great year behind the plate, too. He's the catcher of the Nats future folks, so welcome to it.
Adam LaRoche: This is the large IF. If he's healthy, LaRoche will be there. He's slated to make $8 million, and that alone is reason to be a starter. If he's not healthy, he'll be on the DL, and Michael Morse will probably get some more time at 1st base.
So there it is, the position players that we believe are guaranteed to appear on the Nationals 2012 Opening Day 25-man roster. Next time, we'll talk about the pitchers who are locks for next year's roster. Stay tuned…

In its second quarter, timber company Plum Creek's shipments of Oregon sawlogs to China went up 7%, compared with the first quarter. China now accounts for 27% of such logs, and Plum Creek CEO Rick Holley sees this relationship as a new status quo.
"While we expect that Chinese demand will exhibit some volatility from time to time, we believe their presence in the North American market is a lasting one that adds a relevant source of demand to West Coast log and lumber markets," Holley told investors.

In a recent story about Hillary Clinton, I stated that Congressman Charles Rangel had, like Clinton, accepted political contributions from attorney Melvyn Weiss, who recently pleaded guilty to paying kickbacks to people who served as lead plaintiffs in class-action lawsuits that netted his New York law firm hundreds of millions of dollars in fees. I also said, citing a news story, that Rangel had once asked lobbyists to underwrite his birthday party.
Congressman Rangel called me today because he felt the the item did not make clear that the event in question is an annual political fundraiser, not a personal party. Rangel said that for about the past 30 years he has held a political fundraiser for his birthday at New York's Tavern on the Green restaurant. He said he invites "lobbyists and whomever" (the latter group includes friends, family, politicians, and business leaders) to the event and that most of the money raised goes to support fellow Democrats in Congress. The event is perfectly legal and violates no ethics rules.
Meanwhile, Rangel's campaign wrote to say that his National Leadership PAC has returned all of the money donated by Mr. Weiss since 2001 and given it to the Boys Choir of Harlem. I regret that error; his PAC's donations were not reflected in campaign finance reports I consulted.
Readers who wish to review the congressman's campaign finance records should consult opensecrets.org. According to the site, the five top industries that have traditionally supported Rangel are: insurance, legal services, securities, health care, and real estate. Lobbyists rank as his ninth largest group of career donors, having given him about $428,000.

Here's Nicollete Sheridan in Malibu Sunday and whenever she's in a bikini I always comment on how awesome she looks for her age. So I'm going to try something different today and comment on how awesome I look to someone her age:
Like a grandson you can have sex with. You know what? Let's not do that and stick with the ol' tried and true before I can never look at my grandmother again. Now, where was I? Oh, right. 45?! DAY-AMN!
Nicollette Sheridan in a bikini
Here's Nicollete Sheridan in Malibu Sunday and whenever she's in a bikini I always comment on how awesome she looks for her age. So I'm going to try something different today and comment on how awesome I look to someone her age:
1st :)
1st :)
1st :)
She put the "azz" in crazzy, amirite?
She's always looked good. What saves her as she gets older, is that she realizes that having 1% body fat and being ripped at 46 does NOT flatter the older woman.
She's still thinner than 90% of all American women, but she maintains a healthy weight and some fat – which helps her look womanly and sexy and not like a flesh eating ghoul.
i'm sorry but seeing lindsay lohans face in the background of all these pictures just kills it.
Still do-able at that age, awesome.
She's disgusting – dieting, drugs, and surgery, all to avoid growing into her curves like a normal woman. Jennifer Love Hewitt looks a million times better.
Like, say, Madonna?
Cougars scare me, but yea, her body is great.
I'd poke her beatup steel wool. Older chicks will do anything in gratitude for being with a younger guy instead of a typical middle aged saggy balled balding hairy bellied American guy.
I'm assuming you have about 4 inches of butt cheek hanging off each side of your chair right now, dont you?
#10, some of us have STANDARDS. the fact that you're younger than me isn't going to be enough. even if i'm just going to fuck you and then throw you the hell outta my house.
Just remember kids the next time to decide to FAP to this woman…Michael Bolton's penis was in it.
Not bad for a dinosaur. Not bad at all.
Is it wrong that i'm too young to know who she is?
I still would though….
#14… also David Spade. Lets not forget that.
(i hate you David Spade)
I'd hit it.
————————————She looks delicious!! love her very much. I saw her at dating site____R i c h K i s s i n g . c0m____ last week. I am wondering what kind of relationship she is looking for on that site.(^_^)(^_^)*********************(^_^)
#16, She is from Desperate Housewives. If it weren't for that, I wouldn't know who she was either.
She is the perfect prototype of sexy MILF!!!!!!!
Very nice older woman body except for the bolt-ons. Can anyone explain her and Brooke Shield's face morph? WTF?
How many more of these Hollywood whores are going to be at the beach at the very same time someone with a camera is there taking shots of them posing? Is this the sole contribution Paris Hilton has given to our society? How to "leak" your location to the paparazzi so you can stage a "candid" photo op with them.
I need a fucking drink.
All my life, I never had a sure thing.
#22 Chris was right on…..Don't get what happened to her or Brooke Shields…
Brooke was beautiful as a teenager, but soon as she hit her twenties went down very quickly…….I guess everybody can't age like Michelle Pfeiffer has at 51….
She still looks like her dad, Kojak. Just picture her with a bald head, and you'd be screwing him.
Uh . . . hello . . . ?
Tim # 10
Dude, she would not dig your 2 inch cock any better, so chill . . .
Hey 8. I love people like you. You don't want people to judge you on your weight, yet you attack someone that takes care of herself, eats right, and exercises? Hypocritcial much? I don't have anything against women of size, but common, get off your high horse. There is NO WAY hewitt looks better than Sheridan. Oh, and thanks for promoting inactivity and unhealthy eating habits. I sure hope young girls you come in contact with DO NOT LISTEN TO YOU!
She is pumped so full of botox, how is it possible that she is able to move, let alone, run on the beach? The body is rockin', though. Looks like she could do a sequel to, The Sure Thing tomorrow and pull it off.
It's no damn fair. When my wife was 45 she was already looking like Shrek.
She has a better body than most 20 year olds. If Mike Bolton hadn't had that I'd do it.
Another prime example of why fat cows claiming they are beautiful and natural are full of shit.
This is a woman. This is how healthy, attractive, sexy women look. This is the ideal women should be working to be.
If you are a fat woman claiming men should find you sexy, you are in reality a pancake-sucking couch potato too lazy to put in the effort to make yourself attractive. You want men to still find you attractive, as you cram every scrap of food within fifty feet into your gaping piehole.
Well forget it fatties. You're just fat. And lazy. Lazy and fat. Get off your doughy, square and/or flat asses and get on an exercise bike and start pedaling.
You CAN look like this beautfiul WOMAN if you want to. If you care enough too. Or you can look like the disgusting, bloated bovine you are while you pathetically demand that men still find you sexy as devour enough food on a daily basis to sustain 3 Somali families. Plus a trip to Starbucks (3 blocks away but you still take your car) for a desert frappacino.
Please come off, please come off, please come off.
datroof – for every bloated bovine woman there's a disgusting fat man. obesity isn't gender specific. main reason to stay in shape should be health… not looking like a slob is just an added benefit.
Sheridan's body looks great — not sickly or operated on. i've never been a fan of her face, though.
Spot on 35. Sheridan definitely had work done on her head, even though her body could not look that good with lipo. She is definitely toned. I'm glad you brought up the men, who seem to think it's cool letting thier bellies hang over the junk, all the while talking shit about girls with the same problem.
I'd fuck her. Women are more prone to obesity than men. Get off your disgusting asses you fucking pigs.
She look like a man.
37 it look like a plane jihading into Jlo's butt cheeks…
Did Mike Bolton kick her out of his house yet? – bbwsinglesdate.com
OMG. She puts my flabby ass to shame. I mean, I'm skinny (6′, 135lbs) but I don't have a toned body. I mean she's RUNNING for christ's sake, and still you see no ripples, dimples, wrinkly stomach, or stretch marks. She has obviously never been pregnant.
Seriously though, she looks awesome. Any man who has a 45 y/o wife with a body that svelte should be thanking their lucky stars. I don't care WHAT surgery or botox she's had. She looks great. Now it's time for me to do some squats. YUCK!
"She's disgusting – dieting, drugs, and surgery, all to avoid growing into her curves like a normal woman."
Ironically, that's a very misogynistic statement. Women come in all shapes and sizes and metabolic rates, remember? My wife, a one time internationally ranked speed skater, eats more than I do and she has a 24 inch waist.
He puts shame my flabby ass. I mean, I'm skinny (6 ', £ 135), but I do not have a toned body. I mean he is running for God, and still you do not ripples, dimples wrinkly stomach, or see stretch marks. He obviously was never pregnant.
The pictures are sexy.
Beautiful figure.

Like an elegant old lady sitting alone watching passersby, so sits Memorial Hall in Philadelphia. A graceful landmark to the extravagance of another era, this building awaits a renewed life, new uses, and a more certain future. Designed by Hermann Schwarzmann for the 1876 Centennial Exhibition, this massive hall was to be the home of various types of art from portraits to sculpture in what was the first world's fair hosted by Philadelphia and the United States. The primary funder of Memorial's creation was the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, which gave what was at that time a massive sum of $1.5 million toward its construction. It became another landmark in a city of great monuments to history.
Following its renown as an exhibition space, Memorial Hall served as the Philadelphia Art Museum, until that institution moved to its landmark home on the Ben Franklin Parkway in 1928. Through the 1950s, the Hall was home to the Art Museum's less important collections. Later, it was adapted for other uses.
Among other things, it served as indoor recreational space and offices. Today, the offices that govern the 9,000-plus acres of land comprising Fairmount Park hum with debate as to the future of this great landmark. The walls that surround the very administration responsible for finding new life for Memorial Hall are crumbling. In Philadelphia, which has one of the lowest funding rates of city parks of any major US city, it seems not surprising that Memorial Hall would have had such lackluster upkeep in its history.
Teresa Stillman, the Fairmount Park historic preservation officer, says that Memorial Hall faces challenges of all kinds, each costing a great deal to remedy. "The roof leaks, causing serious plaster damage, and that's been the primary concern lately." Stillman says the Fairmount Park Commission has finally found the money to remedy Memorial Hall's leaky roof; it will cost over $800,000 to do so.
Even in its tired condition, the exterior of Memorial Hall is a feast for the eyes. Because the building commands its surroundings, its presence cannot go unnoticed. Decked with the sort of ornament that graced many similar Beaux-Arts buildings of that time, Memorial Hall begs the question, "What is this place?" from virtually anyone first seeing it.
Standing atop the exterior dome is a statue depicting Columbia holding the laurel branch of glory. At the end corners of the south (main) faþade sit figures symbolizing industry and commerce. Like the faded building itself, Philadelphia has endured losses in industry and commerce over the decades. Yet that statue on top, proclaiming glory, seems to suggest that both the building and the city will continue to rise in prominence and meaning down the road. Memorial Hall, like the city it calls home, is nothing short of magnificent.
It is precisely this magnificence that demands discussion of what is to become of the building in the future. Pushing 130 years old, Memorial Hall today serves as the backdrop to weddings throughout the year, some using the massive steps as an altar and the faþade as backdrop. The grand hall, cavernous and full of opportunity, could become home to more varied and lively uses, instead of being host to occasional concerts or receptions. Stillman says that is precisely the topic of discussion the park commission is beginning to take very seriously.
That discussion has manifested itself in the form of a call for expressions of interest on the part of organizations that could see themselves calling Memorial Hall home. One of those eager institutions is the Please Touch Museum, a Philadelphia landmark in its own right, known for its interactive family-friendly exhibits. Please Touch has been trapped in a downtown space that long ago became too small for its needs, and Memorial Hall has just the right amount of space to ensure the museum can stretch out a bit, and rethink its exhibit layouts. The site would also be able to provide over 350 free parking spaces, no small advantage in the eyes of supporters.
According to Laura Foster, executive vice president of Please Touch, the museum would "take over the entire building." In accordance with standards set for designated National Historic Landmarks like Memorial, Foster said, the building would be restored and brought up to code. The project would cost about $34 million to complete, and the museum project's completion, if it is accepted as the future tenant of Memorial, to be sometime in 2006. Foster said the idea of having Please Touch locate in such an important building and be able to create more activity in the park with the nearby Philadelphia Zoo and Mann Music Center, is very exciting. It is also good for the nearby community, Parkside.
Indeed, the future of the Parkside community is one that has been the topic of much discussion in Philadelphia redevelopment and planning circles of late. This once heavily Jewish community is today mainly African American--and a National Register historic district. The community has faced great disinvestment and decline in recent decades and stands today at a crossroads where it could blossom once more, or remain inert. During the last several years, various public-private partnerships have restored splendid, massive homes facing Memorial Hall and the park. In this way, elegant buildings face one another, conjuring visions of what might be in the eyes of any urban enthusiast or visionary. Memorial Hall stands with its community awaiting something better, a prouder face and a more enlivened future.
Perhaps most inspiring is that Memorial Hall once more is seeing attention and interest from the public. Only when it shines restored will people realize just what a gem has been kept from them for so long. Whatever the reuse of Memorial Hall, the near future promises to be a very exciting one for this national landmark and integral piece of Philadelphia's urban landscape.

So my Halloween display looks a bit frugal. I've lit a few lanterns but my decorating efforts were hampered by the weather and my time was redirected to livestock: putting little plastic parkas on lambs, moving the sick one with her mother to a dry stable on Milkweed, rebuilding the shelter pens for the rest of the ewes and lambs, haying and watering everyone. Samhain seems a better description than Halloween today, what with all this pagan weather and primitive shelter-building.
All the wood stoves are lit, and clothes are drying. There are enough natural cobwebs and spiders around this place to pass for festive, if we get any trick-or-treaters tonight.
My treat is a big cognac, which I'm having now to dull my constant worrying about the young stock. It's a shoot day tomorrow, and this is perfect weather from the keeper's point of view: birds hunker down out of the wind and stay in the drives, so we know where to find them. It seems mean to push them out and make them fly in this wretched weather, but the wind makes them a very sporting target - 30 miles per hour plus whatever excitement the winds add to their speed and change of direction. Getting shot at is a lot better than getting shot, from the pheasants' perspective anyway.
Wishing you all a happy Halloween and safe passage from hurricanes, poor harvests, and ailing animals.

Happy Halloween to you to. Hope the lamb is ok.ReplyDelete
Going to Tim's to avoid all the 'lovely' children that are all set to annoy, whoops, sorry, come to the door.
Baa Humbug!! (almost the right season x
I love this night. NOT for the trickortreaters, or jack-o-lanterns, or revelry. But only because it is one of the nights of the year when the doorways between worlds become thin, I circle my house three times after dark to bless all within, and it is the beginning of the dark half of the year, which I LOVE. I also love to make soul cakes tomorrow. Those pagans got SOME things right, after all! Happy Samhain!ReplyDeleteReplies
I love the idea of blessing the house, but in suburbia even circling the house is a challenge. And please tell me what soul cakes are. This sounds like a recipe I might need. My email is email@example.com

I'd not heard that term until reading your post. But it seems fitting. We're entering very dark days and cold nights here in the sub-arctic. My neighbor rooster Stewpot has been silent. Dog has been lethargic. I am reluctant to be outside. Perhaps a long hibernation is due.ReplyDelete
Livestock is such a roller coaster. One day everything's fine, the next day the turkey's sick, the lamb is sick, the ewe is sick, and the people are worried sick.ReplyDelete
Eventually, though, roller coasters always go back up. Even if they're carrying a bunch of sheep. I hope things improve.

Delicious food, close friends and beautiful surroundings are essential to a celebration, but it's the unexpected details that give a party its own special style. Make your next fete an occasion to remember with five festive ideas -- from imaginative place settings to stylish serving suggestions your guests will adore!
There are lots of ways to set up a dinner party table, each lending itself to different kinds of decoration. A group of separate small tables evokes the lighthearted atmosphere of a bistro. Lining up tables end to end in one long unit is convivial but also more formal. If you choose a long table, create a sweet, friendly tableau by draping it in flowing linen. You'll need extra seating, and though borrowed or rented chairs are fine, alternating your everyday dining chairs with gold painted flea-market finds creates a charming mix-and-match look. Personalized notions at each place setting -- an artistically rendered menu or tissue-lined paper bags filled with favors -- create a presentation that looks great as a whole and makes every guest feel special. Plus, spruce up your space with these incredible dining room decorating ideas!Excerpted from Pottery Barn Dining Spaces

Easy Weeknight Dinner Tips
Here's how we manage to make it work night after night:
1. Plan, plan, plan. We spend a few minutes on Saturday mornings hashing out what to make during the upcoming week. We put together a list and we shop for what we need.
2. Make the meals simple. Not every meal has to be 5 courses or take 3 hours to prepare. We are always looking for recipes that cook quick and don't require much prep time.
3. Keep your pantry stocked with essentials. I always have things like chicken stock or canned tomatoes on hand.
4. Prep ingredients in advance. I try and do whatever I can the night before.
5. Be flexible and open to new ideas and ingredients. Don't be afraid to experiment.
6. Keep a list of your "favorites" to fall back on.
Below are two recipes we found that make perfect weeknight meals. I hope you enjoy them.
Rigatoni with Pancetta and Peas
adapted from Italian Cooking and Living magazine
2 tablespoons olive oil
6 thin slices pancetta, diced
1 small onion, diced
1 ½ cups frozen green peas
¾ cup chicken stock
1 cup tomato puree
Salt and pepper
1 pound rigatoni (we substituted spaghetti)
¼ cup freshly grated Grana Padano
In a large skillet with high sides, warm the olive oil over medium heat. Add the pancetta, and sauté until golden brown. Add the onion, and cook until translucent. Stir in the peas, and cook for 2 minutes. Add the chicken stock, and bring to a boil. Mix in the tomato puree, and season with salt and pepper. Cook for 10 minutes or until it reduces to a sauce consistency.
Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook until al dente. Drain the pasta and add it to the skillet with the sauce. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper and transfer to a serving platter. Sprinkle with Grana and serve.
Chicken with Fennel
adapted from Italian Cooking and Living magazine
3 tablespoons olive oil
4 chicken breasts, cut into 1 inch strips
Salt and pepper
1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary
1 fennel bulb, cut into wedges, fronds reserved
½ cup kalamata olives, pitted
In a large nonstick skillet, warm the olive oil over medium-high heat. Season the chicken with salt and pepper, add it to the skillet and sauté until golden on all sides. Add 2 tablespoons of water, the rosemary and fennel, and cook for another 10 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through. Add the olives, and cook for 1 minute. Serve drizzled with olive oil and garnish with the fennel fronds.

All great tips. People can do it if they just "plan and prep!" So true.ReplyDelete
Thanks for the tips! I think for me it all comes down to planning. I make the big meals on the weekend, when I have more time, and then gorge myself on leftovers throughout the week.ReplyDelete
I really like your quick-and-easy recipes!
Such great tips! These both look excellent!ReplyDelete
The key is definitely in the planning, isn't it? Both of these dishes look really lovely and flavorful. Well done!ReplyDelete
If I would only learn to plan in advance... I must like life on the edge, lol. These look great!ReplyDelete
Both of these dishes sound delicious! I am always looking for new ideas for weeknight meals. Thank you!ReplyDelete
Who wants to pick up fast food on the way home from work when you can have meals like this. I think it's great that you and your hubby plan and prep together!ReplyDelete
I have to plan ahead as I have so many to feed. Pasta will always feature if I haven't had time to do the shopping!ReplyDelete
Oh wow...I want BOTH of these dishes for dinner tonight! You're right...planning is key :DReplyDelete
Great post! I find it more foreign how people DON't cook than how others cook every night. :-)ReplyDelete
But it's true what you say - not every meal has to take 5 hours to make - you can whip something up in 30 minutes and it'll be healthy and nutritious and much better than any take-out you can get.
great tips! I find that i cook much less often on work nights if I don't meal plan...ReplyDelete
I so agree with you! I work full time and have a very busy schedule. Planning ahead is the main thing. I plan very simple menus, cook the main dish in large amounts and then creatively stretch it out making two or sometimes three new meals from the leftovers and it doesn't take any longer to prepare my meals than it does for those who resort to icky things like hamburger helper or frozen dinners!ReplyDelete

Home Medway News Article
Kent's chief constable Alan Pughsley and police and crime commissioner Ann Barnes did just that – visiting Medway's CCTV hub in Strood to view the inner workings of the remote observation complex.
Criminals chose to stay out of shot as the chief constable scanned the banks of screens relaying images from 750 cameras round Medway, Gravesham, Maidstone and Swale.
But that's not always the case.
Launched in 1998 by Medway Council, the hub began operating cameras for councils across the county in April 2012, and statistics show that between that date and November last year its operators helped in 5,095 arrests.
"It's a clear message that if you come to Kent and commit crime you will be on camera" - Chief Constable Alan Pughsley
The chief constable said it wasn't possible to quantify the impact of moving CCTV coverage from other areas to the hub.
"I can't say whether or not the centralisation of CCTV has increased or improved our arrest figures," he said, "but what I can say is CCTV gives open, honest and transparent evidence of people committing crime.
"Where that works out in court is two-fold. One; people plead guilty before going to court, so it saves time and expenses, and two; if they do go to trial sometimes this evidence is incontrovertible."
He called the hub a "magnificent example of partnership-working" adding: "In practical examples, my officers are told of a problem. They are directed to it through the cameras to deal with the issue as soon as possible.
"Issues of identification go out of the window straight away because officers are told you are now dealing with the people causing the problem."
One benefit of centralising was the ability to track crooks between regions, he added. "Criminals know no boundaries. It's a clear message that if you come to Kent and commit crime you will be on camera."
We've retained the localised knowledge, we've increased the effectiveness of the systems and there's been economical benefits. It's been a huge success."
He said 90% of cameras were PTZ – pan, tilt and zoom – but admitted they couldn't scan every inch of the districts.
Also at the hub yesterday was Medway Council deputy leader Cllr Alan Jarrett and Cllr Peter Hicks, head of community safety.
Cllr Hicks said: "Ann Barnes was keen to come and see the centre. We want to show that this is an example of best practice.
"We want to show how important the work we do here is, not just to our own residents, but also to our partner boroughs."

European Car of the Year finalists announced
Posted Dec 20th 2012 10:00AM
Electric cars may have won the European Car of the Year award two years in a row now (Opel Ampera in 2012, and Nissan Leaf in 2011), we can say without reservation that the 2013 ECotY will be a petrol-burning, internal combustionizer. That's because not a single electric vehicle made it to the contest's final round. But eight other cars did.
At the top of the alphabetical list is Ford's Fiesta-based, B-Max MPV. Five doors, good ride and fuel-efficient, award-winning engine choices are some of the reasons it makes the list. Next is the Hyundai i30, known as the Elantra GT here, with either five or three doors, a roomy cabin and a 1.6-litre CRDi engine. The nominating committee commends the handsome hatch for improved exterior aesthetics and a multi-link suspension that "shows in ride and handling."
Mercedes gets the next spot with its hot hatch: the turbocharged A-Class, followed by another hatch, the Peugeot 208. The next finalist is from another marque we haven't seen in North America for quite some time – the fourth-generation Renault Clio, followed by the Subaru/Toyota dynamic duo of BRZ and the GT86. The last two contenders are the all-new Volkswagen Golf and the svelte Volvo V40.
The European Car of the Year will be announced in early March after the jury has tallied its votes.

This March my wife and I are looking to take a week trip to someplace in the US, where we can mountain bike, and where it will be at least a bit warmer.
Vegas is a consideration as travel cost and hotel rates seem relatively low, and we expect it'll be warmer there than most other places in the US.
She will rent a bike there and I plan to ship mine if I can find a bike store in Vegas to accommodate.
We won't be doing much of the typical Vegas scene, but rather spend most of our time out in the desert and hills biking and hiking. I'm a very far north east person who lives with constant wet, ice, and snow and think this sort of trip would be nice.
It looks like there would be enough biking to make it worth out while.
Thanks in advance,

What Is Argan Oil And How Will I Benefit From It?
Dec. 1, 2011 No Comments Posted under: Beauty, Beauty Accessories, Beauty Reviews, Health and Beauty
Maybe you have noticed Argan oil is now the latest rage in hair care products and in some skin care products that are in our salons. What is this mysterious oil and what are it's properties?
Argan oil is an oil produced from the kernels of the argan tree, endemic to Morocco, that is valued for its nutritive, cosmetic and numerous medicinal properties. The species Argania once covered North Africa and is now endangered and under protection. Argan oil remains one of the rarest oils in the world due to the small and very specific growing areas.
All Argan sold today is produced by a Women's Cooperative that shares the profits among the local women of the Berber tribe (also known as the Amazighs). The cooperative has established an ecosystem reforestation project so that the supply of Argan oil will not run out and the income that is currently supporting the women will not disappear. The money is providing health care and education to the local women and supporting the entire community as a whole and provides income for 3 million people in the southern part of that kingdom.
Although Argan oil is traditionally used in Morocco for dipping bread, drizzling on couscous, salads and similar uses, the unroasted oil is also traditionally used as a treatment for skin diseases, and has found favour with the cosmetics industry in many countries.
Why we are seeing it in our products:
Key ingredients:
Argan oil naturally contains the following compounds:
- Tocepherols, including vitamin E rich in phenols: helps to neutralize free radicals on the skin and scalp.
- Omega 6: helps to prevent hair breakage.
- Saponins and essential fatty acids: naturally softens the hair and skin.
- Rejuvenates the skin and hair.
- Rich in anti-oxidants.
- Easily absorbed into the skin and hair.
- Protects against free radical damage.
- For dry skin and hair.
- For ultra hydration.
- For softening the hair and skin.
- For reducing appearance of scars and wrinkles.
So, in a nutshell (no pun intended ) there are many shampoos, conditioners, masques and body lotions that now contain Argon oil. My favorite is Kitoko Oil. It is intended as a finishing product for your hair to provide shine and moisture. I like to add a few drops of this oil to my face moisturizer, body lotions, use it on my cuticles and diffuse it in my home for a beautiful fragrance. Some of my clients even put it on as a cologne. It smells FANTASTIC!

Last baby appointment, induction date set!

Last baby appointment, induction date set!
|Wed, 10-31-2012 - 5:25pm
So the dr. told me last week we could "probably" induce on the 5th, but today they scheduled it for sure! He offered to do it Friday instead, but DH works all this weekend, and I already told my family to plan to be here Monday. So I'll be heading in at 6:15am Monday morning to get things rolling. He estimates we'll have a baby by late morning or early afternoon, and I hope he's right! A nice, easy, and quick labor would be fantastic! Now I just need to get everything organized in her room this weekend, get the house cleaned, and get our bags packed. Oh, and not go into labor before Monday!
