Black Panther Archives - Robot 6 @ Comic Book Resources
Too many superhero movies?
It was exciting Tuesday when Marvel Studios unveiled its Phase Three plans, with nine feature films, including Black Panther, starring Chadwick Boseman, and Captain Marvel, featuring the Carol Danvers version. However, amid the enthusiasm, there was some hand-wringing.
Are we about to be oversaturated with superheroes? Is the movie-going public going to get sick of capes and tights? Are superhero movies a fad that will go the way of the Western?
Between Marvel, Warner Bros., Fox and Sony, there are more than 30 superhero movies planned between next year and 2020. An average of five movies a year will be released, peaking in 2016 and 2016, with eight films each. No doubt more announcements will follow as we make our way through the decade.
This hasn't gone unnoticed. Immediately after Tuesday's press event, Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige was asked if he was concerned about the increasing number of superhero films. He pointed out that it's "a challenge we've faced for many, many years."
'The Marvel Experience' tour reveals character lineup
All 13 characters have been revealed for The Marvel Experience interactive tour, and at least a couple may surprise you.
As depicted in the above image, debuted by Yahoo, the usual suspects — Spider-Man, Iron Man, Captain America, Thor and the Incredible Hulk — will be joined by Wolverine, Black Widow, Nick Fury, Maria Hill, The Vision, She-Hulk, Iron Fist and Black Panther.
"This is the only place you'll see them together, and we're proud of that," Rick Licht, CEO of tour producer Hero Ventures, is quoted as saying. That's in part because the film rights to Wolverine and Spider-Man are held by Fox and Sony, respectively.
Yang, Simone and the triumph of 'Saga'
[Editor's note: Each Sunday, Robot 6 contributors discuss the best in comics from the last seven days — from news and announcements to a great comic that came out to something cool creators or fans have done.]
In some ways, this is the best of times and the worst of times for those who are interested in bringing comics to a broader audience. As the hubbub died down over Milo Manara's Spider-Woman cover, another story went viral, about a comic shop where an employee allegedly made a crude joke about a "rape room" and then fired a trainee who complained about it. While debate continues to rage over what exactly happened there (the store owner denies it), Bloomberg did a big story on how the number of women comics readers is growing and becoming an ever more important sector of the industry.
With this in mind, I want to call out three things that happened this week.
The first is Gene Luen Yang's speech at the National Book Festival. First of all, it's impressive that a comics creator is given such a prominent platform at an event that isn't actually focused on comics. What Yang had to say was even more impressive. He spoke about the African-American creator Dwayne McDuffie, whose love of comics first caught fire when he encountered the Black Panther, a black character created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby. The Black Panther wasn't perfect, but, Yang said,
All of these flaws were lost on Dwayne McDuffie when he first encountered the Black Panther in 1973, at the age of 11. What struck him was the character's commanding sense of dignity. The Black Panther wasn't anyone's sidekick. He wasn't an angry thug. He wasn't a victim. He was his own hero, his own man. As Dwayne describes it, "In the space of 15 pages, black people moved from invisible to inevitable."
'Storms of Carnage' fan film unleashes the Black Panther
While we've certainly seen a number of fan films featuring Superman, Judd Dredd and the Bat-family (the Dark Knight, Batgirl, Nightwing, the Gotham villains, etc.), I think this is the first one I've seen starring Black Panther.
The brainchild of D.A. Jackson, who wrote, directed and starred, Storms of Carnage: The Black Panther Unleashed is an extremely violent — as "Storms of Carnage" may suggest — "real-world" take on the Marvel character that's part political/crime thriller, part no-holds-barred martial-arts film. (Seriously, the last half isn't safe for work, or possibly for the squeamish.)
Forget Tony Stark's fortune: Black Panther is richest superhero
Speaking of billionaire heroes: U.K. loan site Buddy Loans has employed scientific research (Wikipedia, Marvel.com, etc.) to arrive at a rundown of "The World's Richest Superheroes" … which also includes villains. But never mind that: It's actually a pretty fun chart that's topped by not Bruce Wayne or Lex Luthor, but rather by Black Panther, whose estimated worth of $500 billion – billion — leaves everyone else in his dust.
As king of Wakanda (not "Wakanada") T'Challa controls the world's supply of Vibranium, which accounts for most of his wealth. By contrast, fellow head of state Victor Von Doom possesses only about $35 billion; on the plus side, he also has his own time machine and robot army, so maybe it all evens out.
Bow before Doom's entry below, and see the rest at Buddy Loans.
Blog saves classic fanzine art from the ash heap of history
We're living in an age where increasing aspects of our comics heritage is being protected, with all manner of work coming back into print in fittingly deluxe packages. However, we can all think of great comics that will probably never be reprinted, for various obscure reasons. For example, all manner of great work published by Marvel and DC in the 1970s and '80s will never see the light of day again due to lapsed licensing deals. Other titles, other creators, simply fall from fashion, to await rediscovery by another generation. Others still end up in complicated rights battles and litigation.
One field of comics-related work that seems to be just lost to the unrelenting march of time and progress is that of the pre-Internet fanzine. Many significant figures in comics history contributed text and art to this near-dead medium, and it's hard to see any organization having the will to invest in researching, reprinting or digitizing this lost legacy.
Colin Smith is a blogger and the author of Sequart's "Shameless? The Superhero Comics of Mark Millar," and as a critic has written about comics for some of the United Kingdom's top magazines. He has a secondary blog where he has been recently sharing some great art from old U.K. fanzines and convention booklets.

Comics A.M. | Alan Moore's Neonomicon challenged in South Carolina
Comics | The Greenville County (South Carolina) Library has removed two copies of Alan Moore and Jacen Burrows' Neonomicon from its shelves after a mother filed an official challenge to the collection's sexual content. Carrie Gaske said that although her 14-year-old daughter found the horror book in the adult section, she thought "it looked like a children's comic," and would be fine for her to check out. Daughter Jennifer soon discovered Neonomicon wasn't the "murder mystery comic book" her mother believed it to be. "It was good at first," she said. "Then it got nasty." How "nasty"? "The more into I got the more shocked I was, I really had no idea this type of material was allowed at a public library," Carrie Gaske said. "I feel that has the same content of Hustler or Playboy or things like that. Maybe even worse."
The library allows children age 13 and older to check out books from the adult section with their parents' permission. The library system's two copies of Neonomicon have been removed from circulation while a committee reviews the content. [WSPA.com]
Food or Comics? | Higher Earl Grey
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.
Chris Mautner
If I had $15, I'd grab the latest Lio collection, Zombies Need Love Too. Cartoonist Mark Tatulli has one of the better newspaper comic strips going these days.
If I had $30, I'd nab what is clearly the book of the week, NonNonBa, the latest book from Shigeru Mizuki, author of Onward Toward Our Noble Deaths. NonNonBa aims more toward Mizuki's traditional milieu of Japanese folklore and yokai monsters, though this book is more autobiographical in nature in that it deals with his relationship with his grandmother and how she instilled in him an interest in the spirit world. I've been anxiously awaiting this release.
My splurge for the week would likely be one of two books from First Second: Either Baby's in Black, Arne Bellstorf's fictionalized tale of the sadly doomed Beatle, Stuart Sutcliffe, or Mastering Comics, Jessica Abel and Matt Madden's follow-up to their previous how-to textbook, Drawing Words, Writing Pictures.

Black Panther: The Most Dangerous Man Alive ends in February
Even as Comic Book Resources reports the cancellation of Ghost Rider, a preview of Marvel's February solicitations reveals Black Panther: The Most Dangerous Man Alive will end with Issue 529.
Spinning out of the publisher's "Shadowland" event, the title launched in December 2010 as Black Panther: The Man Without Fear, picking up the issue numbering of the ending Daredevil as T'Challa became the new guardian of Hell's Kitchen. The series was written by award-winning mystery author David Liss (A Conspiracy of Paper, The Ethical Assassin), joined by such artists as Francesco Francavilla, Shawn Martinbrough and Michael Avon Oeming.
The solicitation text for Issue 529 teases, "Kingpin vs. T'Challa in this status-quo changing series finale," raising the possibility that Black Panther could relaunch, or revert to a previous title and numbering. However, October sales estimates place the series at about 18,000 copies, below Marvel's traditional line of death, and less than the just-canceled X-23 and Ghost Rider.
Those titles join a rapidly growing list of recent Marvel cancellations that includes Alpha Flight, Victor Von Doom, Destroyers, Iron Man 2.0 and All-Winners Squad. In addition, PunisherMAX concludes in February with Issue 22.
Update (1:12 p.m. PT): Liss has commented on Twitter, writing, "Sadly the news is true. Our Black Panther run ends in February with #529. But keep reading until the end. It's going to be a wild ride!"

Don McGregor needs your help
Clifford Meth passes along word that, because of family medical expenses, former Killraven and Black Panther writer Don McGregor has been forced to auction his collection of art from comics he wrote.
"I won't allow art dealers to steal these from him," Meth writes. "And I am not expert enough, despite the posturing, to know what these pieces are really worth. So here's the deal: Some friends of mine and I are bidding on Don's art while spreading the word far and wide. We are hoping you'll beat our bids because we want Don to get top dollar."
A rundown of the art, by such creators as Rich Buckler, Gene Colan and Marshall Rogers, can be found here. Bids are being accepted on McGregor's Facebook page until "Don says, 'I'll take it!'" Meth also asks for any artists interested in helping to make "small drawings" of characters that McGregor worked on. "I'll be the first bidder and I'll bid generously… and I expect others to do the same."
Talking Comics with Tim | David Liss
Today marks the release of Black Panther: The Man Without Fear 514, the second issue of writer David Liss' run documenting Black Panther's effort to defend Hell's Kitchen in Daredevil's absence. In this email interview, Liss shares his appreciation of secret identities, as well as his interest in immigrant crime families and organizations, among other topics. As detailed by Marvel, this latest issue features: "Luke Cage guest stars as T'Challa's new adventure in NYC continues! The former King of Wakanda has sworn to protect the mean streets of Hell's Kitchen, and while battling the mob is one thing, how does he stop a killer targeting innocent people? It's a deadly game of cat-and-mouse, as T'Challa hunts ruthless new crime lord Vlad the Impaler, while Vlad concocts a desperate and bloody scheme to entrap the mysterious new vigilante that's ruining his plans." My thanks to Marvel editor Bill Rosemann for the art he provided for us to share with Robot 6 readers.
Tim O'Shea: In taking an assignment placing the Black Panther in Hell's Kitchen, what factors appealed to you most in taking the assignment?
David Liss: I loved the idea of taking a very powerful figure, stripping him of his abilities, and placing him in a new environment. Characters are most interesting when they face challenges and obstacles, and this seemed a great opportunity to take a headstrong, confident hero and put him in situations in which he would have to grow, adapt and be uncomfortable. Plus it's Hell's Kitchen, which means there will be lots of ass-kicking. I thought the concept rocked.

With the Dow Jones Industrial Average gaining over 205 points Wednesday on news that Congress is on the verge of passing legislation that would avert a Treasury debt crisis, investors have to wonder what big events will impact stocks the most in the coming weeks.
Here's what Peter Boockvar, the chief market analyst with Lindsey Group, is saying on a piece posted on Barry Ritholtz's Big Picture Website.
Among his bullish arguments: Companies have record cash levels to buy back stocks and increase dividends, the Federal Reserve under a new dovish chair can prop up markets with monetary stimulus (think "Yellen Put") and "D.C. just bought itself another three to four months" by a temporary extension of the debt ceiling.
Among his bearish arguments: The U.S. economy remains stuck at around 1.5% to 2% growth, and higher interest rates are "kryptonite to markets and an economy that are addicted to low rates." Moreover, while companies have a lot of cash, "corporate debt is at record highs and companies are still reluctant to spend on property, plant, equipment and labor."
Moreover, Boockvar writes, "stocks are very overvalued at current levels on normalized earnings per shares."
Sounds like obstacles remain for stocks, but aren't there always obstacles. At least there's enough of a wall of worry for stocks to climb.
A perusal of stories from financial Website showcase a few interesting investing ideas.
For example, a piece by Morningstar argues that a handful of U.S.-based oil-services stocks can benefit from the Mexican government's efforts to "loosen the shackles" on Pemex, the country's badly-managed national oil company .
"We think the firms best positioned to benefit from any increase in demand for oil services and rigs in Mexico are Baker Hughes BHI 2.474448628294782% Baker Hughes Inc.

"Each of these companies will be providing the needed crews, equipment, technologies, expertise, and experience with fracturing tight oil and gas reserves to Pemex and any other private companies interested in the newly opened market."
Meanwhile, MarketWatch has an interesting column by Nicholas A. Vardy, chief investment officer at Global Guru Capital, who gives exchange-traded fund equivalents to the private investments that managers of Yale's and Harvard's endowment funds have used for more than a decade to improve returns.
Writes Vardy: "Although you can't go out and buy thousands of acres of New Zealand and Romanian rain forests like Harvard, you can buy an ETF that invests in timber stocks like Guggenheim Timber ETF CUT 0.6877022653721683% Guggenheim Timber ETF U.S.: NYSE Arca 24.89 0.17 0.6877022653721683% /Date(1419026331129-0600)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 22363 P/E Ratio N/A Market Cap N/A Dividend Yield 1.4463640016070711% Rev. per Employee N/A More quote details and news » (CUT), which tracks the Beacon Global Timber Index and is up 20.5% so far in 2013."
He adds that private equity and venture capital are the trickiest for retail investors to invest in. "Yet there are enough publicly traded private equity firms out there to give you a shot," he adds.

Jonathan Shroyer C.T.O, corePHP
I have used virtually every Joomla! template framework available and I find Expose to be the best in the industry. The attractive and easy to use backend administration is what drew me in, but the incredibly clean and easy to modify code base is what sealed the deal. Ever since I first started using Expose I have spent most of my free time contributing ideas and code back into the framework. Expose will dramatically speed up your development time and give you options you never had before… and there is a LOT more coming!
Mefav Knafo C.E.O, iJoomla
At iJoomla.com, we've been looking a responsive template that looks great, easy to configure, uses bootstrap and is super light! We found all this in the expose framework. We are utterly impressed with this template, the code, the CSS, the backend settings and more and we will be using it on over 15 iJoomla sites on iJoomla.com. This framework makes our lives so much easier, we love it! The developer has been great to work with, very responsive and open for feedback. Highly recommended!
Jim Sparkman afxMedia, LLC
I did a lot of research before selecting a template provider, looking hard at all the usual suspects and finally chose ThemeXpert. I've been with them for a couple of months now and I'm very happy with my decision. The Expose Framework is fantastic and the templates are great. Lots of other very well done extensions, as well, such as Xpert Slider, Xpert Tabs, Xpert Tweets, etc. Having access to multiple templates and the Quickstart setup to replicate the Live Demo sites has been invaluable when trying to figure something out – it's great to have examples. Then there's the Support. These guys are really amazing how quickly and thoroughly they respond to questions on the forum and resolve support tickets. I've also been impressed with how quickly new templates and updates are released, as well as site improvements like the updates tracker are made. I'll stick with ThemeXpert, so happy I chose them.
Guy Stubbe C.E.O, FMO Monthly
I have looked and tried many other joomla themes that came with good extensions along with customizing capabilities. I was just gong to hire someone to get the look I wanted, but I found StreamX theme by Themexpert. I found it exactly what I needed with just the right extesnions that work how they said and the module positions are perfect. I was hooked! There support is far superiour than any other. I opened a ticket on Sunday early morning expecting a response in Monday but Parvez replied to my ticket on his vacation day and made sure my issue was fixed. When comes to Joomla themes there is no one else I will work with.
Janey Cramer Owner, Muse Web
This is the first template I have purchased from Themexpert and I will definitely purchase from them again. Being unfamiliar with their template engine I had a few issues but the support was quick, efficient and friendly. Lovely template, great service!

bear (post id #5956)
[quote=bear]didj3, pcguyiv told you correctly. The swelling is caused from moisture getting into your harp and soaking into the wooden comb. (comb, thats the part in between the two brass reed plates). What ever you do make sure when your through playing your harps (and even in between songs) you shake or tap out as much of the moisture as possible by holding the harp holes down and tapping it onto the palm of your hand, or the upper part of your leg. Then lay it somewhere so it can dry out completely before putting it back in its box. Now since you like the Marine Bands I would suggest you getting a Special 20 (even if you have to wait for the dealer to order it), you see a Special 20 is a Marine Band but with a plastic comb. The plastic comb will not swell up on you. And trust me, the Special 20 feels a whole lot better in your mouth then a Marine Band or Blues Harp. I have played all of the above harps. I used to play mostly Blues Harps (and the little Vest Pockets) but now prefer the Special 20 due to them having the plastic combs.[/quote]

Help! Is my brand new first time harmonica ruined? Aug-23-05 8:35pm
Once again, bear hits the nail on the head. New wood isn't as well "aged" or "seasoned" from use as older wood. Therefore, it is actually more susceptible to swelling and warping when it is new. This is why people used to advise soaking harps. In general, this is a bad idea because if you do it, you'll corrode the reed plates (and possibly the covers). This is probably the biggest drawback to the Hohner Marine Band. Hohner has addressed this somewhat with the Hohner Marine Band Deluxe, which is assembled with screws to make disassembly and reassembly a great deal easier, as well as a better sealed comb to help resist swelling and warping. How well it resists swelling and warping, I'm not sure.
I can certainly understand your irritation, though, at the apparent disintegration of your brand new harp, but unfortunately, that's just the main drawback to wooden combs. Supposedly, the Hering 1923 Vintage isn't as bad, and supposedly, neither is the new Marine Band Deluxe. The new model of the Delta Frost from Bushman has a wood comb which is made of a wood so dense, it naturally doesn't even float in water (ergo very swelling and warping resistant), and it's also very well sealed because somewhere between 2 and 5% of the human population has allergic reactions to the wood used.
Help! Is my brand new first time harmonica ruined? Aug-23-05 7:10pm
New, old, makes no differance. New wood will soak up moistue just as easy and maybe quicker the old wood.
Help! Is my brand new first time harmonica ruined? Aug-23-05 4:46pm
I understand. But the harp is practicly brand new.
Help! Is my brand new first time harmonica ruined? Aug-23-05 4:40pm
To add to what bear said, eventually, over time, the swelling will cause a certain amount of warping, and eventually, the comb will not completely return to it's normal state. My old Marine Band had a permanent hump between 4 and 7 that at its apex, protruded almost 1/16th of an inch from the plates when dry. Again, the only reason I no longer play it is because the #5 draw reed gave out. It played great until I blew that reed, and the rest of the harp still plays just fine (although it may be a little flat from so much use). The one I have now shows barely any signs of swelling, but then again, I've been taking better care of it, but there is a slight swelling around 5 & 6.
Help! Is my brand new first time harmonica ruined? Aug-23-05 3:13am
Will the swelling go away? Yes and No!
Yes the swelling will go away when it dries out. But if you play it for long periods at a time it will swell again. Even if you play it for short periods you'll get a certain amount of swelling. The longer you play it the more it will swell up.
The big problem is after awhile from all the swelling and contracting the wood may crack, but that would take a lot of use to do that.
Wood is some funny stuff, let it dry out to much it will crack, get it to wet it will swell and split. If you have a problem with to much moisture and play for long periods of time, and want to stick to harps with wooden combs. I'd suggest having two or three harps of the same key so you can switch harps well your playing as they get to wet.
When I used to play Blues harps I always carried two harps just because of this. Thank God Hohner started using plastic. It makes a much better harp.

"Are the newest consumer and ad tech innovations social? Mobile? Content? It's becoming more difficult to neatly place the emerging products into these buckets.
"But one theme is consistent across each of these intertwined disciplines: speed. The pace at which content is created, shared, and consumed is constantly increasing, with consumer creation and consumption behavior usually outpacing a brand marketer's ability to keep up."
Peg Corwin's insight:
Have we have been thinking of content too narrowly? Look what's around the corner in mixed media content.
Vyclone enables "seamless, real-time collaborative content creation...using a cloud-based online interface to sync video coming from a variety of devices to a seamless multi-camera narrative."

In 2012, I decided to undertake an evergreen content experiment. I created a piece of content that I planned to update regularly over an extended period of time.
Peg Corwin's insight:
Evergreen content is timeless content, something people are constantly searching for. Writing it and updating it can grow your website traffic regularly.
Case study conclusion:
"So far, this experiment has proved that investing time in creating content that is updated regularly can bring excellent results. In 2013, the page attracts between 6,000 and 9,000 visits a month, 22% of which return to the page time and again.
"All you need to emulate this is some vision and common sense:
That's a content strategy that is likely to keep me busy for the next few months and generate excellent results."
Contrary to popular belief, people do read websites--sometimes. And what they read can give you important insights into your own site.
Peg Corwin's insight:
"...it's a good idea to include your most important information at the top of the webpage. Just as you optimize the first paragraph of your blog post to deliver the key points that will be discussed later in the post, use the top spots on your web page to clearly deliver the information that your users most want to find. Most people don't do this. Trust me."
While the author shows an eyetracking example of the 3rd paragraph being the most read, data shows you reach the most visitors in your first paragraph. Make it count, for both users and search engines, that also rank those keyword phrases heavily.
Peg Corwin's insight:
Bottom line: Replace your marketing with useful advice.
"Post Planner introduced a new feature that uses a unique algorithm to allow page administrators to search for and post trending content on any keyword.
Page admins can "add content from sources including Facebook pages, Twitter profiles, and blogs, and organize them into custom folders, along the lines of Google Reader.

Small business clients need to learn to think in a whole new way about buyer personas and sales cycles. They have fewer resources than large companies, so they might pick one gated point to ask for an email in return for content.
You do good work and people want to refer you. That's the truth, but, hey, we're all busy and sometimes we need a nudge, a reminder or even a tangible way to easily make referrals that make sense.
Peg Corwin's insight:
To use content to generate referrals, think out of the box. Consider invited content, co-branded content, sponsored content, curated content, intented content.
"The key is to structure the ask in a way that prompts referrals – Tell us the best use of our product, show us your results, tell us why you really want to win – things of that nature can generate some very powerful endorsements as people vie for a prize of some sort."

Peeling skin no moreWhen we first moved to California, my skin started drying out really bad and started peeling..

MasterCard announced the return of its
Printer-friendly versionPDF version
Priceless Bahamas program in 2014 and its new role as the card of The Bahamas, in partnership with the Ministry of Tourism
To tweet this news, please use #PricelessBahamas, @MasterCardLAC, and http://mstr.cd/1jEdNWh
Thursday, February 27th 2014 – Nassau, Bahamas – MasterCard announced today that, as part of the company's commitment to enhance the experience of cardholders visiting the country is support of the local tourism industry, the company has partnered with the Ministry of Tourism to become the official card of The Bahamas. The announcement was made during an exclusive cocktail event for participating merchants, tourism industry influencers and media at John Watling's Distillery at Buena Vista Estate, in Nassau, Bahamas.
The initiative is part of MasterCard's plan to expand its Priceless Bahamas destinations program and amplify its reach among international tourists. "By becoming the official card, MasterCard will be more involved in the tourism industry and initiatives lead by the Ministry of Tourism throughout 2014", highlighted Lorena Holguin, VP of Marketing for MasterCard in the Caribbean. "We are thrilled with the success of Priceless Bahamas, and are excited to have evolved the program into something much greater," highlighted Holguin. The announcement was particularly meaningful for the MasterCard team as well, as it is timed with the 50th anniversary of the Bahamas.
In addition to re-launching the program in Nassau and Paradise Island in 2014, MasterCard is also expanding it to Grand Bahamas with 15 new merchants. As a result, cardholders will now be able to enjoy offers and discounts at more than 85 participating merchants, which is more than twice the amount of merchants that the program had when it was launched in 2008. Returning major retailers include John Bull, Carlo Milano, Columbian Emeralds and Diamonds International. For a complete list of merchants and program details, please visit http://www.mastercard.com/bs.
"This outstanding program again highlights that there is tremendous value in a Bahamas vacation. MasterCard's special offers and discounts amount to exceptional added value. When this is combined with the increasingly elevated customer service given by our warm and inviting residents, it is obvious that the overall experience is simply priceless," stated Tourism Minister Obie Wilchcombe.

You have still missed the point. Fontaine took the time and made the effort to point something out quite interesting to some of us. Maybe not you. Be positive. Instead of bringing a critical attitude about what someone may not have included in his post, be a contributor and ADD to it. Be thankful about what he did do and bring the rest of us something positive too. I am sure you have something to add. Almost all of us saw the game. However, we may have missed what you might have to ADD to the post. Criticism of any form is not ADDING. Think about WHY some of us have reacted so negatively to what you said.

DARE CO. -- The cost of getting the Bonner Bridge safe enough to re-open this weekend ranges in the millions of dollars, according to new numbers from the North Carolina Department of Transportation.
A spokeswoman for the department said the NCDOT has paid $1.28 million so far to get the bridge safe enough to re-open and to operate an emergency ferry route while the bridge was closed.
A bulk of that figure comes from the $600,000 the department paid to dredge near the bridge to compact enough sand to hold a loose support structure in place.
NCDOT says it also paid $68,000 to drive two test piles into the sound floor late last week.
As that work was being done, Hatteras Island residents were traveling between the island and the mainland using an emergency ferry system set up in the wake of the Bonner Bridge's closure.
A spokesman for the ferry system said the emergency route cost an estimated $30,000 each day. Multiple that figure by 12 days the ferry operated and the ferry service cost taxpayers $360,000.
The department has also awarded an emergency contract for long-term fixes to the support structure on the south side of the bridge, which was deemed unsafe, totaling $1.6 million. Work on that emergency contract is expected to begin mid-week.
A spokeswoman said a barge has arrived from Virginia to the construction staging site and is waiting to load sand bags that will be placed around the base of the support structure.
Once the sand bags are in place, engineers will place concrete barriers, called A-Jacks, around the sandbags in hopes of stopping large-scale erosion around the support structure.
As of Monday afternoon, the sand bags were still being filled in preparation of being taken out to the bridge.
Other agencies and organizations say they expect to feel a financial impact from the bridge's closure, too.
The Outer Banks Visitors Bureau said it expects sales tax it collects from stores and restaurants to be down because of the bridge's closure.
Warren Judge, Chairman of the Dare County Commissioners, said the county manager and county finance director will also be totaling up costs that the county incurred as a result of the bridge's closure.
Both agencies expect to know solid numbers in mid-January.

Football: Mount Carmel grad Jordan Lynch to sign with Bears; Sandburg's Schofield drafted by Broncos
By Patrick Finley firstname.lastname@example.com May 10, 2014 8:32PM
Updated: June 12, 2014 7:12AM
The Bears will soon announce that Northern Illinois University star quarterback Jordan Lynch is joining the team as an undrafted free agent.
Lynch Tweeted "Bear Down" soon after the end of Saturday's NFL draft, and Bears general manager Phil Emery confirmed the sides were close.
The Mount Carmel graduate went 24-4 in two seasons as the starting quarterback at NIU but could be used more as a runner on the Bears.
Emery said that while he could not comment on a specific player signing, Lynch had a good visit with the Bears as part of their local pro day last month.
While he didn't commit to a position for Lynch, Emery made it sound like he would be a running back.
"I think he's a really fine runner," Emery said.
"He's very instinctive, especially for a quarterback between the tackles. He just knows where to find the soft spots and take that little sidestep and keep grinding forward and keep moving forward while he's making his moves.
"He's got really good contact balance. He doesn't go down easy. I like all those things."
While Jordan Lynch is staying home, Michael Schofield is heading west.
Schofield, a Michigan offensive tackle and Sandburg grad, went to the Denver Broncos in the third round of the draft. He was the 95th overall selection.

So there is a guy i know he is so depressed and i want to help him but i don't like him.........Keep reading
just sit him down and tell him "hey do not take this the wrong way but you talk over me a lot and I think its rude." talk for a short period of time and thats it.

Then again he might think you are being mean but say it nicely and it should be ok.

Shouldn't have to talk to him everyday though.
youre not doing him any favors spending time with him if you dont like him
Youre not responable for him. Tell him your going to spend more time with your girlfriend, and he is going to have to get out there or go online and make new friends. These type of people become too dependant on you, so you need to see him less and less until you dont see them anymore.
when people are depressed all they want to do is be alone that makes them even more depressed so get him out there to new people or get him into a club that interest him so he could meet new people or just get him real help.
You could shoot him in the head. That would fix all of his problems. It'd give you more problems, but you can't win them all.

Some people are just depressed. You have to let that go. You can't save them all, and unless you've received training, you shouldn't try to save anyone.
Pay a ***** to him. You'll help him feel better again.

As observers of a meteor that crashed in Russia's Chelyabinsk region today can attest, near-earth objects that enter the earth's atmosphere can wreak destruction. But these objects, which also include comets and asteroids, also provide clues to the solar system's origins and could someday serve as stepping-stones to space exploration.

Although this 150-foot space rock will slip harmlessly by, researchers estimate there are nearly 500,000 near-Earth asteroids. So far, they've tracked the orbit of 9,600. How do researchers track asteroids, anyway? A Science Bulletins video explains more about the process, and more about the odds of an asteroid collision with Earth.
