Diaz, for one, has to laugh at the cultural subjectivity of fearing young minorities because of the way they dress--especially considering that every Friday and Saturday night Deep Ellum features no shortage of underage white kids on foot with shaved heads or multi-colored hair, and a ring or stud through every soft spot on their bodies. These young stragglers inspire an emotion in many Hispanics, he says, but it's not fear.
"A lot of us laugh at those kids," he says. "We see this skinny white guy with chains and a shaved head and studs through his tongue, and we think, 'Man, how do you expect to get a girlfriend?' Or you see white girls with earrings through their noses, and you wonder, 'How do you manage to blow your nose when you get a cold?'

"ECU Campus facilities are excellent. Computers in e-Lab are always updated. The library offers a wide range of books and journals that are necessary for doing your assignments and research. I like all building in Joondalup campus because each of them is an art designation and unique," he says.

You can enjoy any food from a lot of countries in Perth such as Italy, France, China, Vietnam, Japan, or Korea. Perth's climate is also nice, not too hot in summer, and not too cold in winter.

E 392M • Irish Women's Writing
Course Description
Irish Women's Writing in the Colonial and Neo-Colonial Context
We shall explore the tradition of Irish womens writing (novels, short stories, plays, poems, films) in relation to Irish colonial history, the Act of Union (1800), the struggle for Independence (1916-22), the establishment of the Free State, and the Troubles in the North (1968 to the present day). Our texts represent all shades of political opinion: Unionist and Nationalist, feminist and conservative. We shall consider the uneasy relation between feminism and republicanism that marked the process of decolonization and the era of the Northern Troubles. We shall also investigate the repression of women after the establishment of the Free State in the south, intensified by De Valeras misogynistic Constitution of 1937, which attempted to confine women to their role as mothers in the home. Some of our later texts address the question of womens reproductive choices, highlighted after the 1983 abortion referendum by the Kerry Babies and Ann Lovett cases.

Hello, I'm new to this forum but not at all new to shooting.
I have a Ruger 22 Hornet that has been in the rack for about 10 years now. It sits in the rack because somebody one stated, I almost think it was Townsend Whelen, that "Only accurate rifles are interesting" and this one is surely NOT interesting. I've run across posts elsewhere that lead me to believe that mine is not the only uninteresting Hornet that Ruger ever made.
It has had under 200 rds through it, some factory, the rest handloads, and not a group under about 2 1/2".
I've determined that now is the time to either make it shoot or find somebody else who wants it. Has anyone else here had issues with Ruger Hornets shooting patterns instead of groups? If so, how did you deal with the issue?
I got after it yesterday and suspect I may have found part(maybe all) of the problem.
I neck sized a few cases and started seating bullets way out, moving them in until I could get the bolt to cam, them in and seat the bullets so that they were engaging the rifling. These were Barnes, 36 gr. Varmint Grenades and Hornady 45 gr. Spitzers, the style they used to(maybe still do) call the SX.
Using that as a max length I set the expander stem in one turn to get a safe OAL with the bullets barely clearing the rifling. From that point bullets had to be seated in excess of .180" to almost .200 to fit the magazine.
That seems like an awful lot of clearance there.
I loaded 10 rds of each bullet with appropriate charges set to fit the magazine and 10 more with the same charge with the bullet seated close to the rifling. As soon as I get a chance I'm going to send them downrange and see if the long seated ones shoot better than magazine length loads.
If they do I think it may be time to talk to the folks at Ruger about this.

There is a guy that I know on a N. Eastern forum that bought one. He sent it to a smith, (conn. I believe) that could do wonders for them. It still will only shoot 2" groups at 100 w/ handloads, it was 4..5" before. Really kind of sad. He was so happy that he finally found a .22 hornet for under $200.00, and ended up putting $400.00 into it, with no real benefit. I've often thought a .22 Hornet would be a great cartridge to hunt woodchucks on farms with, but then I always read this about Rugers. They are the ones I see FS 99% of the time.
Freedom is not free. The best of us always leave too soon.
My son bought this one for me, absolutely gorgeous little rifle. That makes me a bit hesitant to get rid of it, for both reasons, but I just hate a rifle that patterns. Never had one before that I couldn't make shoot.
I want/need something that will shoot minute-of-crow and this would be perfect, if only,,,, I have a big garden and the black critters dealt harshly with me this spring. Weather made it late getting the sweetcorn in and they cleaned out the biggest part of 4 lbs of seed as soon as it sprouted. It's a strong 150 yds. from one end to the other so the Hornet would be the perfect round. With the Barnes "Varmint Grenade" bullets I wouldn't have to worry about skipping one off the ground and any hit should be fatal but the damn rifle won't stay on a crow at half that distance.
If I can find a way to load it so it shoots decent then I will tinker with it a little to close it up even more. I'll glass bed it and make sure the tube floats free and go from there. A better trigger would help a little, as I'm sure bedding will, but I hesitate to put a lot of time/money into it until there is some promise showing.
I had a 77/22 Hornet that did the same thing. I rechambered it for K Hornet, glass bedded it, hand lapped the bolt & bore, did a trigger job, and FINALLY found a load it liked. 13.8gr of AA1680 with a cci BR4 primer under a Nosler 40gr Ballistic Tip seated .010 off the lands. It would then shoot 3/4" for 5 shot groups. REMEMBER that I rechambered mine to K Hornet in regards to the load however. That load likely wouldn't be safe in a regular Hornet.
Sometimes you earthlings REALLY amaze me!
Until about 10 years or so ago, Ruger subbed out their barrels. They paid very little for a barrel (I was told $7.50 each). You cannot expect much from a cheap barrel. Their accuracy has improved greatly since, but I have never met anyone with a "tack driving" Ruger.
In life, strive to take the high road....It offers a better field of fire.
"Robo is right" Fuzzball
I bought a 77/22 in 22 mag that wouldn't shoot. Sold it at a gunshow. My Winchester model 43 in 22 hornet shot excellent.
Just walking on the edge of of my grave.

For Crohn's Disease: It is early days yet (under one month) since I commenced treatment with Questran but there has been marked decrease in daily bowel activity. I have had Crohn's for the past 18 years and all other medications have proved to be largely ineffective. I have been concerned about the potentially dangerous side effects that some medicines that are prescribed for this condition may have. Since starting this course of treatment, my intake of codeine and Lomotil/Imodium has been minimal. While constipation has occurred, it has been manageable. Without going down this track, with four identified strictures I was looking down the barrel of surgery. I am moderately confident that at least so far this has been a positive move.

For Javier Vazquez, the hours between his dreadful start on opening day and tonight's Diamondbacks game against the Los Angeles Dodgers have ticked away at an agonizingly slow pace.
As his performance against the Chicago Cubs — 10 hits and seven earned runs allowed in 1 2/3 innings, the worst start of his seven-year career — was dissected and derided, Vazquez could only stew.
The right-hander said he has put Monday's game behind him and is eager to make amends tonight.
"I'm glad I'm going out there," Vazquez said on Friday. "I wish it would have been sooner, but as a starter, you have to wait four days. I will try to pitch well and get a win for the team."
Manager Bob Melvin said he has not spoken to Vazquez about Monday.
"I don't think I need to say anything to him," Melvin said. "He knows what happened. Everyone does. It was just one game, and I foresee no problems. He'll go out and pitch his game, and if he stays true to form, after a game like that, he'll come back and pitch well."
Vazquez reiterated he felt good and had solid stuff against the Cubs. Videotape analysis the day after Monday's game revealed he was not tipping pitches.
"Sometimes, you just have to say, 'Hey, they just got me,' " Vazquez said. "I felt great. I'm feeling much better now than I did last year at any point. I wish the game was here already."
Opening day catcher Koyie Hill started on Friday, giving him and Chris Snyder two games each behind the plate this season. Melvin said that who starts remains a game-togame decision.
"Whatever I think is best for that day," Melvin said.
The manager said he will not implement a personalcatcher system. As a player, Melvin was a personal catcher late in his career, for Dave Dravecky in San Francisco and Ben McDonald in Baltimore.
"I appreciate the (benefits)," Melvin said. "If I feel it's best for two guys to work together that day, I'll do that. But you don't want to get to the point where pitchers are dictating what the lineup should be."
Reliever Jose Valverde (biceps tendonitis) is eligible to come off the 15-day disabled list on Sunday, but he has "three or four" bullpen sessions before appearing in a game, trainer Paul Lessard said. The right-hander's next session is on Sunday.
Due to Valverde's injury and his struggles during spring training, Arizona wants him to get extensive game action before returning to the majors. He will likely be optioned to Triple-A Tucson.
"There's no question he'll to have to pitch in competitive situations before he comes back," Melvin said.
Outfielder Shawn Green, acquired from the Dodgers during the offseason, played against his former team for the first time on Friday. The heavy turnover Los Angeles has experienced lessened the awkwardness, he said.
"I know when I left Toronto and came back to play two exhibition games, it was strange because I still had a lot of friends on that team," Green said. "Now, half the team in L.A. has changed, just like half the team in Arizona has changed. That makes it feel different." . . .
Closer Brandon Lyon said he bounced back strong from his consecutive outings on Tuesday and Wednesday.
"I had some soreness, but it was a good soreness," said Lyon, who missed all of last season after elbow nerve transposition surgery.

Sixth in a series
Jack Kramer is a daredevil.
"I like to take a chance," he says. "Sometimes it doesn't work the first time, but eventually it does."
That sense of adventure took Kramer into gymnastics. It allowed him to try risky routines that helped carry him to three consecutive state gymnastics championships.
And now it is taking Kramer, 18, who will graduate Saturday from Ardrey Kell High School, to college at the University of Minnesota.
"Going to school up there will be quite a change," Kramer says, "but I enjoy trying something different."
Kramer will attend with a variety of scholarships, including an athletic award in gymnastics. He says Minnesota is also a good place to pursue a degree in chemical engineering.
A back injury in his junior year of high school cooled the interest from some of the collegiate gymnastics giants, but Kramer found several other schools still enthusiastic about him. The Air Force Academy recruited him, but asthma knocked him out of contention.
"I wasn't even thinking about Minnesota," he says. But a friend he met at the USA Gymnastics Nationals steered him toward the school. Kramer visited and was hooked. "It's perfect for me," he says.
Kramer says he realizes gymnastics is not popular among males his age. "I've had friends who might say, 'Jack is weird – he does gymnastics.' But then they see me at the gym, and they understand. Gymnastics keeps you in good shape."
His mom, Cathy Kramer, says male gymnasts need the self-confidence to stick with the sport.
"At one point, some of Jack's friends stopped wearing their gymnastics shirts," she said. "Jack never cared about that."
Jack Kramer, who took several Advanced Placement courses and rates science and math as his favorites, says he doesn't hide from a challenge.
"I like the high-flying stuff," he says of his gymnastics routines. When asked whether he's fallen during practice or in meets, Kramer smiles and nods affirmatively. "But I try again," he adds.
"He's a daredevil; he's fearless," his mother says. "But he's also smart about it. He always has a plan."
For now, that plan includes making friends with his gymnastics teammates and competing in the sport he enjoys.
"I know winter will be tough," he says. "But the guys up there said that once you get through the first winter, it gets easier. So we'll see how it goes."
"Anyways," Kramer adds, "I like a challenge."

I'm in The planning stages of building a bike and it looks like it will be a Niner. I demoed an Air 9 RDO today and while I liked it, I may go with a SIR 9 instead mainly because I'm a Super Clyde. I'm interested to see how the ROS 9, with it's slacker head tube angle and the increased travel of the front fork handles on tighter single track.

"Recipe for--"
I don't think so.
Yes, but not in a good way.
Recipe for 'Necropolis'
1. Shamelessly take body parts from other people's creations: Raymond Chandler (Marlow); William Gibson (Neuromancer); F. Scott Fitzgerald (Benjamin Button); Ian Flemming (Bond); et al.
2. Stitch all the parts together to make your patchwork man.
3. Remove all the man's guts: substance; subtlety;driving dialogue; character depth; and anything else found in good writing.
4. Replace the old guts with new guts: excessive melodrama; tons of cheesey, wasted dialogue; overly wordy, poorly descriptive prose; a large amount of feau philosophical rambling; and as much hackneyed B-movie garbage as you can find.
5. Pump that sucker full of electricity until he wakes up and starts living something that only vaguely resembles life.
6. Teach him to speak entirely in cliches that make people's eyes roll, but make sure he's aware of each cliche and explicitly apologizes for it.
7. Now listen to him ramble for 3-4 hours (50-100 pages) longer than you really need to.
8. You've created your very own 'Necropolis.'
That about says it all in a nutshell. The concept screams potential, but the execution left me begging for mercy. I only finished it because I pride myself on almost never abandoning a book, even if it's terrible, you can at least learn what you shouldn't do in your own writing. I can say one thing for 'Necropolis'; it was less painful to finish than Scott Smith's 'The Ruins.'
If you're interested in a more in-depth ellaboration of the book.
"'Geek Love' Lives Up to Its Reputation"
'Geek Love' is a rare piece of fiction, one that lives up to its highest praise and proves wrong its detractors. Of all the novels and stories I have read that are included in the growing cannon of "transgressive fiction", 'Geek Love' is both the greatest of those works, and the one that is most truly transgressive. It is a novel that explores what it means to be a freak. What is a freak? Who makes somebody a freak? How does a person become a freak? What is the life of a freak like? Do freaks love? Why are so-called normal people both repelled and grotesquely attracted to freaks? Katherine Dunn explores all of these questions and more with a refreshing candor and a remarkable amount of compassion.
Aside from being a powerful exploration of freakdom, the novel is also the chronicle of a family that is, in their own highly unorthodox way, as all-American as any other. As I listened, I experienced both the thrill of their rise and the pain of their disturbing disintegration.
Where Christina Moore, the narrator of this title, is concerned: I do not think I have ever heard a more lively or enthralling performance of an audiobook. Christina Moore brings each character to life through changes in pitch, cadence, tone, and diction. Her voice captures and conveys perfectly the range of emotions felt by the characters and draws the listener into the story, appropriately enough, like a slick and experienced pitch-man.
After listening to the final words of this novel, you may be disturbed, you may be heart-broken, but you will most definitely not be the same as you were when you started. That is a guarantee from my lips to your ears. So plunk down your two bits and step on in because you won't believe what you're about to see.
"An indisputable classic"
I first read 'All Quiet on the Western Front' as a high school sophomore. At that time, the story's affect upon me was minimal at best. I take the shift in my opinion of this novel as proof that you should revisit all the books you had to read in high school that you found boring. At age sixteen, I had very little idea of how elements of fiction like prose, pacing, characterization, and others worked together to create a great work of fiction. By that age, I was already a veteran of the horror genre and had read about a lot of gruesome things, so some of the things in 'All Quiet on the Western Front' struck me as almost tame by comparison. Still, certain images from the novel have stuck with me over the years, some of them for obvious reasons--like the image of a young soldier taking cover in a bomb crater underneath a coffin--and others for not-so-obvious reasons--like the yellow boots that pass from soldier to soldier.
With twelve years of life experience and a better understanding of the craft of fiction under my belt, my opinion of this novel is now the polar opposite of what it was as a teenager. Remark's prose is clear, simple, and highly evocative. He has an eye for choosing the right details to bring a scene to life. Likewise, the pensive but resigned voice he creates for the novel's protagonist adds to the terribleness of the events by making the reader wonder: "How can a man become resigned to such things?" The novel's pace, which seemed slow to me as a teenager, now seems to fit the novel perfectly, as does the seeming lack of a strict plot. Both convey the passivity of the protagonist as he is pulled from one event to another. Lastly, but maybe most importantly, the sense of despair that Remark creates throughout the last two or three chapters of the novel is so strong and so real that I found it difficult to read those sections. I find that fact to be a testament to Remark's skill in delivering this particular narrative, as well as a mark of authenticity.
As for the narrator: I have been a fan of Frank Muller's narration ever since listening to his rendering of the second installment in King's Dark Tower sequence. Muller conveys perfectly each emotion and mood in the novel, whether it be pensiveness, despair, resignation, or even the few instances of happiness that occur.
This audiobook definitely gets five stars in all categories. I won't say that everybody will enjoy it, but I will say that I think it is well worth at very least one read, if not many more.
This is the second sci-fi/noir mash-up I've read in the last year or so. The other, 'Necropolis' by Michael Dempsey, left me extremely disappointed. I was hoping for more from 'Empire State'; granted, my hopes were based entirely upon the book's synopsis and a few vague favorable reviews.
Unfortunately, after finishing Adam Christopher's debut novel, I find myself disappointed again. I am a fan of both super hero comics and novels, as well as noir novels. Naturally, I thought a novel that brought the two of them together could be very good. However, Christopher's novel reads more like a poorly constructed noir pastiche than an actual noir novel. Also, there is a disproportionately small amount of direct super hero involvement for a novel billed as a "stunning superhero-noir fantasy". There seems not to be a single round character, and the reasons behind the actions of many characters in the novel remain unclear even at its close. Indeed, the protagonist of the novel seemed rather muddled and dim to fit the role of private detective. Also, the prose was very lackluster and could have benefited from some serious editorial guidance. The dialogue was especially canned and corny.
I don't want this review to be a complete trash-fest, so I want to mention that I give Christopher points for concept, and for allowing fans to create further stories within the world of 'Empire State' through Creative Commons. However, neither of those things are enough to make up for the poor execution of the novel itself.
Christopher has another novel out--'Seven Wonders'--and a sequel to Empire State--'The Age Atomic'--is scheduled for release sometime this year. I am not entirely opposed to checking out one or both of these novels, but I will certainly be entering into the act of reading them with much lower expectations than I held for 'Empire State'.
As far as the novel's narration, I had no great complaints about it, other than the fact that Gigante's renditions of female voices are all delivered in an uninspired and rather annoying falsetto.
All of that said, others may be able to overlook things in this audiobook that I disliked, but I wouldn't recommend it very highly.
"Perry Moore, Not Alan Moore"
While the title of this review might seem like a dig, I actually did like "Hero". I applaud the novel for its candor on the subject of being a gay male teen. Though there have been a few instances of gay super heros, the super hero genre (both in comic books and novels) has largely avoided the subject of homosexuality, which is strange for a genre that embraces "gritty realism", or whatever phrase the DC fanboys are using to describe the current incarnation of the DCU.
My problems with the novel are this:
While I love a little silver age pastiche as much as the next comic geek, there is too much of it in this novel. Most of the supporting characters are obvious takes on existing super heros, hence Warrior Woman (almost no variation from Wonder Woman at all), Golden Boy (an a**hole version of Kid Flash), Uberman (a hollwo, brainless take on Superman), and Justice (who comes equipped with an origin story pretty much identical to Superman's). All the pastiche makes it seem a bit like Perry Moore decided to take the easy route in evoking images of a silver age version of New York, as opposed to engaging in the practice of world-building that is so integral to fantasy novels (which super hero novels technically are). However, I must admit that I enjoyed the little touches that related the world of the novel to our modern day world. I think they were very much necessary to make the story relevant to the audience of young adult readers the novel is aimed toward.
Second criticism: not enough backstory on Goron. If he's supposed to be the love interest in the novel, shouldn't we have seen a bit more of him, and learned a bit more about why he is who he is? I feel like way too much of the book was devoted to perpetuating the ridiculously obvious (***SPOILER ALERT***) "secret" that Goron and Dark Hero were one and the same. It was a big misuse of what should have been a much more important character.
Mostly, what was offputting about the novel was the prose, which could have been described as "atrocious" at times, and "sufficient" at other times, but never "great" or "engaging". I'm a bit of a word nerd and I feel like the words being used to tell a story are always as important as the story itself, if not more important. Novels aren't movies; you can't have Michael Bay come in, do a bunch of crane shots, blow some sh*t up, and expect people to love it. It takes hard work, and I feel like Moore should have worked harder on refining his prose.
Complaints noted, I did like the novel and I'd be willing to give its rumored sequel(s) a try.
"Super heroes plus zombies equals fun."
I ran across this book when checking out Austin Grossman's 'Soon I Will Be Invincible'. The book was in the list of things that listeners who bought 'Soon I Will Be Invincible' also bought. I am a fan of the zombie, both as a literary metaphor (like in Alden Bell's [Joshua Gaylord's] novel 'The Reapers Are the Angels') and as just a pretty cool subject of horror fiction (as in most incarnations). I have also been a reader of comic books and a lover of super heroes since my early childhood. The idea of throwing the two things together seemed interesting to me.
I have to say that I'm glad I picked up this book. The heroes aren't entirely original, but they are characterized well and fit well into the story. The story itself is also constructed pretty well. The descriptive quality of Clines' prose is a bit ham-handed sometimes ("like a missile through a garden trellis") but doesn't take away from the story too much.
The performance of both the narrators is excellent. The differences between the voices of the characters they portray are subtle but easily recognizable.
I plan on checking out the first sequel to this novel ('Ex-Patriots'), which is also available here on Audible, and the upcoming third novel in the trilogy (which may already be out in print but not yet on Audible).
The story is essentially fluff, but if you like super heroes and zombies, it's worth a listen.

Waving the American in America is racist
This is a result of students being told that wearing an American flag on their person via shirts in 2010 in Live Oak High School in Morgan Hill, California could incite violence even though these students were protesting peacefully by wearing shirts.
According to school administrators, the shirts have the potential to offend people because it is being worn on a Mexican holiday called Cinco de Mayo. A holiday celebrated in Mexico to commemorate the ousting of the french by Mexican patriots who were invaded by the French under the guise of Mexico not paying their debts.
The student sued and they lost their case, and their appeals. They are still appealing the decision on Constitutional grounds. A group of concerned citizens decided to protest peacefully as a result of the banning of the American flag on American soil by waving and proudly displaying the American flag outside the Live Oak High School.
I have a question, since when is it offensive to show or display an American flag on American soil? And when did peacefully protesting become an act of promoting violence?
I guess if the American flag offends people, perhaps they ought to leave, I'll gladly help them pack!

We can't immediately link Hurricane Sandy itself to climate change, says climate scientist Cynthia Rosenzweig, but the flooding damage we can. Partly due to global warming, sea level has climbed about a foot in the NYC area over the past century, giving storm surges a "step up" along the coast.
In 2011, global sea levels fell below the long-term trend of sea level rise, but as La Niña waned late in the year, global ocean levels began rising rapidly.
Except for some La Niña-cooled regions of the tropical Pacific and a few other cool spots, the upper ocean held more heat than average in 2011 in the Pacific, Atlantic, Indian, and Southern Oceans.
Climate scientist Anthony Janetos makes it clear that climate change isn't some future abstraction: real and substantial impacts on people's lives, the economy, the environment, and our valuable natural resources are already happening here in the United States.
In the 2011 Arctic Report Card, scientists report that the bright white surface of the Greenland Ice Sheet has grown less reflective. The darker surface absorbs more sunlight, accelerating melting.
The arrival of Hurricane Isabel in 2003 flooded the retirement home of a Chesapeake Bay couple. With sea level around the Chesapeake Bay rising faster than the global average, how are coastal residents planning for change?
Six managers of State Coastal Zone Programs and National Estuarine Research Reserves comment on their plans for adapting to climate change.
In the summer of 2009, sea ice receded to its third-smallest area in recorded history. The reduced sea ice cover in the Arctic allowed an international group of scientists to study areas of the ocean that they have never been able to reach before.
Along coasts, people are waking up to the need for adaptation to climate change. This article points the way to information for getting started.

Azteca Acquisition Corporation Sets Date For Special Meetings Of Stockholders To Approve Merger With Cine Latino, Inc. And InterMedia Español Holdings, LLC And Of Public Warrantholders To Approve Amendment Of Warrants
Azteca Acquisition Corporation (OTCBB: AZTA; AZTAW; AZTAU) ("Azteca") announced today that the special meeting of its stockholders to approve its previously announced merger (the "Azteca Merger Proposal") with Cine Latino, Inc. ("Cinelatino") and InterMedia Español Holdings, LLC ("WAPA") and the special meeting of its public warrantholders to approve the amendment of certain terms of its warrants, will be held on April 4, 2013, at 9:30 a.m. and 9:00 a.m., Eastern Time, respectively, at the offices of Greenberg Traurig, LLP, 200 Park Avenue, New York, New York. Azteca expects the closing of the merger, if approved, to occur, as promptly as practicable thereafter, subject to the satisfaction of various closing conditions.
Azteca has mailed the definitive proxy statement/prospectus related to the proposed merger and warrant amendment (the "Proxy Statement") to its stockholders and warrantholders of record as of 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on March 10, 2013 (the "Record Date"). The Proxy Statement is available online at the SEC's website ( www.sec.gov). Stockholders and public warrantholders are urged to review such materials carefully.
As more fully described in the Proxy Statement, Azteca is providing its holders of Azteca common stock issued in Azteca's initial public offering with the opportunity to cause Azteca to redeem their shares for cash, by complying with the requirements set forth in the Proxy Statement, irrespective of whether such holders vote for or against the approval of the merger. Azteca anticipates that the redemption price will be $10.05 per share. Only stockholders of record as of 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on the Record Date may exercise redemption rights for their shares. Consequently, shares of Azteca common stock transferred after the Record Date cannot be redeemed. As also more fully described in the Proxy Statement, shares of Azteca common stock must be tendered for redemption no later than April 2, 2013, the date that is two business days prior to the scheduled stockholder vote on the Azteca Merger Proposal. Only Azteca warrantholders of record as of 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on the Record Date are entitled to have their consents to the proposed warrant amendment counted at the Azteca meeting of public warrantholders.

"This country needs an all-out, all-of-the-above strategy that develops every available source of American energy — a strategy that's cleaner, cheaper, and full of new jobs." – Obama's 2012 State of the Union
That may be what the United States needs, but it is not what Obama is offering.
First off, it should be a no-brainer that an "all-of-the-above" strategy would include tapping into a safe, plentiful supplier of oil in our neighbor to the north. Nevertheless, the Keystone XL pipeline, a privately funded infrastructure project that would bring tens of thousands of jobs to the United States, was recently rejected by President Obama. The decision came despite a three-year environmental review that found no threat and the inescapable reality that without the pipeline the oil will just be shipped in tankers to China while we continue to import oil on tankers from the Middle East. Yet another triumph for politics over policy.
Secondly, federal subsidization of certain renewable energy technologies has more often than not been a bust. Obama may tout the increased use of renewables and the thousands of jobs created, but when set against the billions of dollars in taxpayer money that has been invested in ensuring their success, those statistics become less impressive. After all, let's not forget that at the outset of the Obama campaign Obama promised to "create 5 million green jobs." Now, he's reduced to touting the "thousands" that he's managed to prop up with deficit-financed support.
Somehow Obama still hasn't learned his lesson from Solyndra.

me - side view
me- front view
me and my boyfriend
the Spring Dam and Blank Book Company
I was on my way to the gym this afternoon when I realized I had forgotten my gym clothes. I was going to just blow it off, and go grocery shopping, when I remembered that I had left my clothes in my bag from last time. Since, I usually don't take my gym bag out of my Jeep, there were there with me.
When I got to the gym and went to change, I noticed that the shirt smelled. I mean it smelled bad... like sour milk and patchouli oil. The patchouli oil I get since I wear it a lot as perfume, but the sour milk was puzzling. Never-the-less, I donned the reeking shirt and headed out to the cardio room.
I did 20 mins on the elliptical - I am now at level 10! When I first started, I could make it about 5 mins, on level 1 - now I can go 20-25 mins on level 10 (there are 20 levels, so 10 would be about a mid resistance I think) and i use the "random" feature which varies the resistance in intervals. So, I think that is pretty cool. I did the same type of workout on the bike and the treadmill (only the intervals vary the incline) for 20 mins each. I think it was a pretty good workout. I enjoyed it.
I then went grocery shopping. I bought lots of awesome things including a papaya. I have never had a fresh papaya. I have only had them dried or canned. I am interested to try it. I even watched a Youtube video on how to cut one.
I was going to buy a box of turkey burgers, but bought a box of Boca Burgers instead. There were less... well everything! Less calories, less fat... less money!
I have to work tomorrow. I switched days with a coworker. He worked for me on the 13th when I needed to take Leroy to the vet for tests, and I am working for him so he can go get drunk at some Hillbilly fiesta in Cumberland, MD.
I think that is all for now
I was so irritated at the gym today I wanted to scream.
Since the kids are out of school now, people bring them along. I understand that. It happens. The gym I go to does offer free child care from 8:00-1:00 then again from 4:00-8:00. The logical thing would be to go during those hours, so that you have someone to watch your children while you work out.
Of course, no one thinks logically like I do, and their children are climbing all over the machines that I want to use. Of course, instead of the parents telling them to stop it or to sit down, they just let them do whatever they want.
I have chosen to lead a child free life. I don't think I should have to deal with other peoples' children in what should be an adult environment. I mean, I am not a stickler for the rules usually, but there are signs that state no one under the age of 14 is permitted on the equipment without the direct supervision of a parent. Normally, I wouldn't care, but when they are interfering with my workout then they need to scat.
Other than peoples' urchin annoying me I had an awesome workout. My HRM said I burned 570 calories, which I totally believe since by the time I was done, I was exhausted.
I think that is all for now
I set goals for the week.
1. Go to the gym 3x's and work out for at least 45 mins.
2. Say NO to work place junk food this weekend -
3. Lose 2 pounds
4. Drink my water on my days off
5. Make smart choices when we go out to eat at the Olive Garden or Hoss'
1. I went to the gym 3 days. 60 mins for 2 days and 20 min for another
2. I did a very good job with this. I did have some ice cream and a doughnut, but I avoided most everything else.
3. I gained 1.8 pounds soo...
4. I accomplished this
5. I accomplished this
I am so tired of trying so hard and not getting anywhere. I admit there are days when I may go over my calorie range, but it usually isn't a HUGE amount, it is usually a few hundred at most.
I have quit Weight Watchers. I really like it, but I am not paying $40 a month to go weigh in once a week. I have been tracking on Weight Watchers and Spark for a while now, and it is almost the same. Weight Watchers were a little higher on calories because it allowed you to eat fruit and veggies for free.
After a pity party for myself, I have decided that I need to recommit myself to my healthy lifestyle. I have decided on this new plan
1. Stick to my Spark ranges of 1200-1550 calories a day
2. Go to the gym only on days that I have off and do not work
3. On days that I work, add a walk (maybe 1-1.5 miles)
I think that is a very doable plan, and perhaps adding a small walk a few times a week will make a difference. I am hoping that it does.
I have made a few goal for the upcoming week
1. Stick to my calorie range
2. Go to the gym 3x's
3. Go for a walk on the days I work (Thursday and Friday)
4. Say no to work place junk food
5. Make smart choices when eating out.
I think all of this is doable I know if I do these things, I will see results at the scale.
that is all for now
I have decided to start my Spark Journey over. I reverted myself back to Fast Break - Phase I. I think I need to take the time to recommit myself to my journey. The best place to begin a journey is at the begining. So, it is at the begining I am starting.
I didn't do horribly on the scales this week, I stayed the same. I was expecting worse. I had a bad incident the other night with some binge eating (we won't talk about what came after) and I think I am in a good place now to re-think and restart.
I am thinking about going to the gym after work but I am not 100%. That is still five hours away from now, and I am not sure how I will be feeling at 5am. If I don't go after work, I will go after I wake up. That is for sure. My goal is to go to the gym Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. I know I can do it, I just have to commit myself to doing it.
I am going to continue with Weight Watchers as well. I feel that program is offering me a lot. It is helping hold me accountable, which is really what I need. Every week, Linda is seeing the scales right along with me. That helps.
I have goals, damnit! I want to reach those goals! I need to be able to push myself to make those goals happen! I have made a list of a few things I would like to accomplish this week
1. Go to the gym 3x's and work out for at least 45 mins.
2. Say NO to work place junk food this weekend -
3. Lose 2 pounds
4. Drink my water on my days off
5. Make smart choices when we go out to eat at the Olive Garden or Hoss'
I don't think any of those things are that difficult, and I know that I can accomplish them.
In other news, I made a pretty awesome dinner - Salmon, baked sweet potato and green beans. I am still hungry. I could eat a lot more, or at least that is how I feel.
Every day, I drive past McDonald's and don't pull through the drive thru is an accomplishment. At least, that is how I look at it.

Comics A.M. | Teen sentenced in comics burglary; Reuben Awards adds webcomics
Legal | A teenager was sentenced Monday to seven years in prison for his role in the July 2010 theft of a valuable comic collection from an elderly Medina, New York, man, who later died of a heart attack. Eighteen-year-old Juan C. Javier, who pleaded guilty last fall to attempted second-degree burglary, is one of seven people whom police say were hired by businessman Rico J. Vendetti to break into the home of Homer Marciniak to steal his comics. Marciniak, 77, awoke during the burglary and was beaten, suffering only cuts and bruises. However, he had a fatal heart attack later that day. Eight people, including Vendetti and Javier, were indicted in November 2010; the indictments were dismissed against four of the accused so the U.S. Attorney could charge them with murder under federal law. [The Daily News]
Comics A.M.| Retailers on print vs. digital; Yang on comics, Christianity
Retailing | Sacramento, Calif.-area retailers are relatively unconcerned about DC Comics' newly launched digital initiative or an immediate threat to their bottom lines from digital comics. "I just see it as another way of kind of expanding the whole readership," says Dave Downey, who runs World's Best Comics. "If you missed an issue of Spider-Man, and you can't find it anywhere, you can always go online and read it that way." However, Kenny Russell of Big Brother Comics sees a time, "years off," when that will all change: "It's inevitable, and this is kind of the first step. In no time, iPads are going to be good enough, and it's going to be easy enough, and it's going to come out the same day where people are going to just read their comics on their iPads." [Sacramento News & Review]
Comics | Gene Luen Yang explores the tangled history of comics and Christianity, both of which, he points out, were started by a bunch of Jewish guys who loved a good story. (Good-sized excerpt at the link; full article requires free registration.) [Sojourners]
Robert Kirkman signs deal to distribute Skybound titles in Asia
Robert Kirkman's fledgling Skybound comics line is expanding into Asia through a new distribution deal with the production company Moving Images.
Launched in July 2010, the Image Comics imprint is home to Kirkman's books, most prominently The Walking Dead and Invincible, as well as hand-picked additions like Brandon Seifert and Lukas Ketner's Witch Doctor, and the recently confirmed Thief of Thieves, a collaboration between Kirkman, Nick Spencer, Shawn Martinbrough and a rotating roster of writers.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Skybound Asia will be based in Singapore, allowing the imprint to distribute directly to regional markets. The new venture will have a presence this weekend at the Singapore Toy, Game & Comic Convention.
"The next step for Skybound and The Walking Dead in particular is the evolution into a global brand," Kirkman says. "Partnering with Moving Images to form Skybound Asia is the first logical step toward that goal. It will allow us to gain a foothold in emerging markets in order to bring Skybound comics and products to an entirely new fan base."
SDCC '11 | Robert Kirkman spills the goods on Thief of Thieves
Robert Kirkman has at last revealed details of Thief of Thieves, a collaboration with Morning Glories writer Nick Spencer first teased a year ago with the launch of the Skybound imprint.
The Walking Dead creator tells USA Today he'll employ a writer's room approach similar to what occurs with television series, with he and Spencer hammering out the overall plot, and a team of scribes trading off on story arcs. (It appears virtually identical to the model used by Dark Horse's Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season 8, on which Joss Whedon served as executive producer.)
Spencer will pen the first arc of Thief of Thieves, which follows an aging international art thief who decides to retire from the game and instead steal from other criminals. "He's got this compulsion where he has to steal or he doesn't feel like he's living, but he doesn't want to break the law anymore," Kirkman tells the newspaper.
Shawn Martinbrough, known for his noirish approach on such titles as Luke Cage Noir, Angeltown and DMZ — he even wrote the book How to Drawn Noir Comics — will be the permanent artist. Kirkman will step in at some point to pen his own arc. However, he's keeping the names of the other writers a secret; presumably at least some of them will be revealed this week at Comic-Con International in San Diego.
Visit USA Today to see a preview of the first issue. Thief of Thieves debuts early next year from Kirkman's new Image Comics imprint Skybound.

"Great and easy recipe. It's always gone when I take it to a luncheon! Also love the hash brown quiche and they can sort of be mixed and matched as far as ingredients. I find I can also make them in a square or rectangular baking dish and then cut them into small bite-sized pieces for a wonderful quick appetizer.""

Entering one of The Framing Establishment's locations is like walking into an art gallery. Large traditional landscapes and contemporary abstracts hang on the walls, and shadow boxes housing portraits and collectibles line the shelves. Amid this modern decor, professional framers scuttle about, sizing objects and answering customers' questions. They help their patrons pick out ready-made frames and art or consult with them to determine flattering custom mouldings and mats for their photos or most impressive parking tickets. They also help customers transform their TVs into works of art by providing frames and fabrics that complement home furnishings.
For more than three decades, MarDel Photography owned by Jerry Hansen and Cliff Winegar have captured priceless memories through award-winning photography. At MarDel Photography & Design, the duo snaps shots of children, families, newlyweds, and graduating seniors. Their photo-booth-rental services enliven parties and allow clients to snap their own images.
Certified by the American Lighting Association, Lighting Design's staff roams the showrooms at three area stores, helping customers make informed decisions as they choose lighting fixtures, ceiling fans, and furniture to match the decor of their home or underground lair. The store's owner and skilled interior designer, Jean Eyre, and her staff all exploit their trained eyes and keen aesthetic sense when helping visitors navigate the massive inventory or when performing free in-home consultations. The shop's thousands of fixtures range from wall sconces and large chandeliers to ceiling fans, and they all hail from quality brands such as Murray Feiss, Minka Lavery, Metropolitan, and Emerson.
For about three decades, the professional framers at Art and Frame Station have been hanging rectangles around everything from photographs and artwork to collectibles and memorabilia. The shop?s brick walls hold thousands of mouldings and acid-free mattings, many of which are available in multiple colors, sizes, and candy coatings. The owners perform all framing services onsite to ensure the tight seal and alignment meet the surgical standards of each client.
After living in Utah for a decade, Gary and Jana Cole fell in love with the mountains, inspiring them to open their namesake store in 1982 as a means of helping others enjoy the region's snowy slopes and rugged trails. At four locations throughout Park City, alpine adventurers can rent or buy name-brand skis and snowboards to replace their trusty but outdated cafeteria trays, gear up with fashionable and practical snow-sport apparel from brands such as Kjus and Bogner, or bring in worn-out equipment for expert repairs.
In the summer, Cole Sport helps athletes return to the outdoors after a fear of yetis kept them cooped up inside all winter. Cyclists test out models from a fleet of Giant road, mountain, and cruise bikes at the Giant Bicycles concept store, and aquatic athletes can find Surftech stand-up paddleboards to help them explore Utah's natural lakes and in-ground pools.
Photographer Amber Bauerle preserves priceless memories with shoots for children, newlyweds, and graduates through her modern, candid style. With a kid-friendly attitude that got her selected as the exclusive Utah photographer for Gymboree's Janie and Jack 2012 spring line, Amber prides herself on her ability to evoke genuine smiles from children, setting her subjects at ease with her unpretentious approach and on-site kennel of tickle monsters. Well-versed in post editing, she strives to ensure her shoots produce vivid, evocative images through flattering colors and well-focused light.
