Ultimate Universe Cap owns all. Killed somebody with just one punch, awesome.
616 Cap though? His side on the Civil War has me at odds with him.
Ultimate Universe Cap owns all. Killed somebody with just one punch, awesome.
616 Cap though? His side on the Civil War has me at odds with him.
Good to know! Now have at it! You've got a whole week to catch up on. Scoot!Originally Posted by luminum
I think captain britain wins...but I'm not sure why.
So I just read Astonishing 15 and...
I was disappointed with how Logan got dealt with. I mean, it's effective, but i really wanted to see every square inch kicked and kicked hard.
And just what is NTW's powers? She dreams things that she wants to happen ahead of time so they happen?
I do enjoy what I now see to be Emma's master plan and how much it involves Kitty.
Logan's ass gets kicked in almost every book he's in - - so having his dignity ripped apart was the next logical course.
And it isn't clear what Nega's powers really are, but we all know that if she can control reality, then the writers are going to have some fun. Besides, she dreams what, fifty times in one night?
And is Nova there? or was she just projecting?
BTW, we are to assume that Ernst and Nova were the same character, right? So when did she shift from being strange Ernst to the devious Nova?
I wonder what they'll do with Hisako. Unlike the other New X-Men, Hisako seems the most likely to succeed in being writeable enough for readers to like her and become one of the known X-Men characters like the original New X-Men did.
For all we know, Nova could have just downright cloaked herself to Henry's animal senses. Nonetheless, she got to both of their minds without a problem, and that's hot. And since Morisson pretty much admitted that Nova was Ernst, there really wasn't any need for Joss to devote some panels to re-revealing that fact.
And truth be told, of the new generation of X-Men, I find Dust, Hellion, and of course, the Stepfords, to be the most intruiging.
EDIT: And for fuck's sake, I am so tired of the writers constantly portraying Iron Man (and the registration) as the second coming of Nazism. How the fuck are people going to decide when every writer out there makes Cap the obvious hero and Tony the obvious bad guy?
That's because Tony's a tool in every sense of the word. His powers are tool-based and he's a tool in general. And he's one of those disenting pansies who ends up messing shit up because of it (i.e. Young Avengers, in which his stern disagreement bends both jessica and Cap and then shit happens and Kate calls them all out on it...okay, that was unfair, but still)
...Captain America stands for freedom.
For new gens, I find Dust, the Cuckoos (but something is going to happen with them that won't make them actual X-Men ever), Hisako, David, Anole, and Pixie to be top contenders for more fleshing out and possible X-attention.
The others are kind of just there because they need people who have powers like that. They're not fleshing them out well at all. They're just sort of dropping it. Mercury's parent situation can be so much more, but her only Kevin can touch me quality has been done. Rockslide is 2-dimensional at best, Hellion's a standard hot shot and his powers are pretty common, Josh is pretty vacuous even with his insanity, Kevin is never going to be able to control his powers, Surge has something but it doesn't look like they'll ever get around to it and her powers are standard energy emitting, Laura's alright but I think they're just going to make her another Wolverine (as if she isn't already), I think they realized how too-powerful laurie was so they killed her, Sofia's powers were too generic which is why she's been completely blipped out (in contrast to David), and jay's just a whiny emo bitch.
I say that Anole and Pixie are goign to get something because they've been shown far too frequently not to. ixie's attitude seems like a bubbly one they haven't had in a while since both Kitty and Jubes are either grown up or miserable. Plus, Anole's been given screen time because of Northstar and the fact that he's gay. New X-Men's going to milk him for that, since they need a gay character to throw in there.
Did I miss anyone else?
Blindfold! I have no idea what they'll do with her.
Sellout, tool, whatever. The man is doing what he thinks is right. I'm behind him 100%. And don't forget, he never even wanted the bill to get pushed through in the first place - - it was only when it did that he realized the best option on how to deal with it was to actually work on it from the inside, to allow for the smoothest transition possible.
Superheroes ARE vigilantes. And vigilantes ARE illegal. The only reason everyone turned a blind eye to that was because up til now, the heroes were careful enough to keep collateral damage to a minimum.
(P.S. I don't recall what happened in YA though, could you refresh my memory?)
Anyway, Joss seems to like the idea that it's Blindfold who's going to predict when somebody dies (Wing primarily). I like her. As for the New X-Men themselves, yeah they're stereotypes, but they are well-written stereotypes who's own title is leagues above the bullshit that are Adjectiveless and Uncanny. I think Pixie and ANole are there just to remind us that there are actually some students other than the New X-Men left in the campus.
Dust is killer. And I think they ended up writing Kevin off because of Elixir's newly acquired power (give the kid some justification as to be called Omega).
This one's for all the comic geeks in da house!
Man... I get all geeked out whenever I see it. I'm getting goose bumps!
...actually, i never really liked that intro. It seemed really lame to me and the CG sucked :P But the Justice League Unlimited opening was cool
In YA, after everythign with kree/Skrull is settled and Patriot is stabilized, Cap suggest again that the kids go back to normal lives.
Kate tells him that the moment he can walk again, Patriot will keep fighting crime, just liek they all will and that she can't help but feel that if Cap and iron Man had trained them, then all of this wouldn't have happened. Billy's parents' home wouldn't have been destroyed, Teddy's mom wouldn't have been killed, and Patriot wouldn't have gotten himself nearly killed. If Cap and Iron Man had taken them seriously and trained them in protecting themselves and using their powers, they could have avoided a lot of the mishaps that happened.
So afterwards, Jessica Jones visits them and gives Kate Hawkeye's quill from Cap with a card that says 'for Hawkeye'. They don't know fi that means that they get to use the facilities, so we'll probably figure it out in the next arc.
I meant when Tony forced dissention between Jess and Cap.Originally Posted by luminum
QUICK GIVE ME FIFTY CC's OF ADRENILINE!
Why why did Hot Topics, have to have a favourite X-Men thread....*cries* if only there was somethign to reinvigorate this thread!
Oh wait I know....
Hulkling and Wiccan should kiss then have hot sweaty man sex with eachother while Hulkling morphs into random people as he fucks Wiccan....and they bareback! and everyone in YA get's mad at them....then Wiccan goes mad....and changes the reality so that everyone is gay....
Hmmm...I don't think so.
I really would like to see Northstar again, though. Is he still being de-evilized at some undisclosed location?
Somewhere in S.H.I.E.L.D. I believe.Originally Posted by luminum
It's really too bad he's sorta faded away into obscurity.
He's still active in the Ultimate Universe, just not 616 right?
Here's a question after The House Of M fallout does he even have his powers any more?
I think some writer just wanted to get rid of him. However I like my French Former FLQ member....Northstar.
(oh yes, and the Hulkling and Wiccan comment were to try and get Marvels all fired up )
So how did Northstar die again anyways?
I mean I know the Hand ressurected him as evil, did they kill him first or was he dead from something else. I know it wasn't his "illness" because his "illness" just kinda vanished.
He did die in "The End" after saving Cyclops from his internal injuries...and who knows what's going on with him in the Ultimate Universe...we haven't really heard things other than E-mails right?
Is Kurt still being a douche to Piotr or has he gotten over it yet?
Any news or word how the rest of the team feels about Colossus being gay, I know Wolverine didn't want him to tell him about the crush....
And seriously Kitty and Spidey? that's not gonna end well....(what's going on with MJ, in Ultimate Spidey?) I mean I knwo she knows he's Spider-Man (peter) because he liek showed her in the first few issues.....but seriously SOO many stories to follow so little time.
Wolverine was revealed to be a sleeper cell and he was triggered and ended up killing Northstar 9even though Elixer managed to heal him). Then as the team was deciding what to do (cut off his head so that the hand couldn't revive him) the hand managed to teloport in, efeated the X-Men stole his body, revived him and I think Wolverine defeated him again but didn't kill him.
Nightcrawler's all upset about Colossus being gay and won't speak with him. Jean grey's fine with it and obviously all of the other team is too except for Kitty because I just don't think she knows. Even Emma's team is obviously okay with it.
Spidey and Kitty are dating and doing fabulously, though when MJ confronts him he kind of admits that he's more with Kitty because she won't be at risk if his villains go after his loved ones than he is because he loves her.
<Insert five page rant on why things shouldn't be right here>
Who reads DMZ? I just bought the first trade and I thought it was fucking awesome.
And Luminum, I bet you'll love the alternate cover to Civil War: X-Men, check it out...http://comics.ign.com/articles/718/718261p1.html
Oh that's hot...Yes....YES!
DMZ? Please expand.
It also pleased me to read Spiderman and see him lay it out flat for Tony Stark. Tool.
Oh, btw, does anyone read The Sandman? I read Endless Nights and I absolutely love it
I have the complete run of the original Sandman series by Neil Gaiman. Loved the series, but always hated having to wait a month to get the next chapter in the saga. I'd spend hours scrutinizing the covers, because the original cover artist always included such interesting tidbits on teh bookcases.Originally Posted by luminum
[B] i mostly collect star trek all froms and versions
the new wonder woman comic came out in june and now #2 isn't coming out till the middle of august!? what the fuck? why do dc and marvel keep hiring tv and movie writers who are to busy with those projects to get the comics out on time? wonder woman's 65th anniversary is this year and already the re launch of her book is way behind.thank god the writer is only taking on 5 issues. i expected more from a gay wonder woman writer!! look how great phil jimenez did. his run was really good. just as good as george perez's re launch in 1987. and speaking of ww if she does have a movie come out in the next year or so than do you guys think an animated series will follow? they did it for superman and batman. i would love to see her very own cartoon. her episodes on the jl and jlu were great.
Luminum: DMZ is about what happens should the United States go to a real Civil War, where the States have it at each other. On one side, there are the Free States (New Jersey, etc.) who are probably sick of what passes for democracy, and the United States who are basically composed of territories that didn't defect. Slam bang in the middle is Manhattan island, now completely cordoned off, where the major battles are always held. DMZ follows a photo journalism intern who gets stranded there after a news special gone wrong, and gives us a cool view of what happens when the shit hits the fan.
Blue: Well, if the guy's doing an okay job, then iI suppose it's worth the wait.
I've been a bit interested in those one-shot collections of graphic novel works, such as Why Are You Doing This? by Jason.
They're just so interesting and unique to consider and usually very simple.
Haven't heard of it, actually. The most non-mainstream I get is probably the big three by Vertigo, and I only get them by trades.
I'm developing a deep love for The Sandman. Neil gaiman's just such a fantastic writer. Has he doen any Marvel stuff? Or is he purely DC Sandman?
Gaiman worked on the original 1602, which had a follow up entitled "The New World" by Greg Pak, who did the Phoenix: Endsong. Personally? I'm not familiar with Gaiman's work, but for the most part, people are saying that his 1602 isn't up to par, and from my own (extremely high) standards, I'd have to agree.
Right now, he's busy with Eternals, featuring Sersi, mind you. Number one came out this month, and number two is shipping this week. I'm getting my copy tomorrow. If you don't have it yet then maybe you can just back-order. It's not all that great, but my bro really digged it, so he'll be the one spending the cash.
I read 1602, now I remember. It wasn't fantastic, but his Sandman stuff is.
I seriously recommend reading the trades. He also did a bit about The Sandman's family, the Endless who appear every so often in the standard comics. It's called The Sandmen: Endless Nights.
I'm still a little stuck on buying everything that Brian Vaughan ever wrote. Plus collecting Fables on trade is taxing my wallet Besides, I did a short read once, cuz a lot of my friends were Gaimanoholics, and I really wasn't as involved in it as they were.
By the way, read Ultra: Seven Days by the Luna Brothers. It's like Sex and City meets Marvel, totally rocks
Hmmm...I'll have to check that out. Right now I'm thanking my stars that I work at a library which has almost allof the sandman tbps.
Hey Everyone-
Just wanted to share this with all of you and to get your support of the project.
Those of you familar with the game City of Heroes may remember a gay team called PRISM. Well, a number of the original members of the team (me included) have banded together to start a comic series.
I serve as an adviser to the comic. My hero, Lightspot, appears in the series. Please stop by the above site, check it out, and visit the forums to learn more about the book, which will arrive this fall.
Thanks for the "heads up" Mikey! I'll have to keep an eye out for it.
Lu: I can't imagine working in a library...
It's good fun. I just read books a lot as they come by. I read Marvel 1602 and a bunch of indie comics while I was 'shelving'.
I dunno, I can't stand not talking with somebody for more than five minutes. besides, old books are creepy.
That's because you should be afraid. They're always watching you.
They're watching me? They must be bored out of their minds then. Anyway, I guess the only reason I don't like libraries is that I never see a remotely attractive person in any a 'em. Gym is much better
If by 'Tony', you're referring to none other than Tony Stark aka Iron Man, I couldn't agree with you more. One of the earliest significant memories back in my hey-day when I had barely collected comics more more than a year, was Iron Man #228, and after what he did to Steve 'Captain America' Rogers (The way I just did it; it's for the newbies; obviously not the seasoned comic pros, natch) in that ish, I never really liked him. I even did some fan fic/a prospective script for Marvel (that I actually sent to them) where I made Iron Man into a rabid homophobe, and although that didn't ever make it into a comic, I have an idea that Kurt Busiek may have gotten his hands on it, and some point, and 'organically' inserted his interpretation into one of his books, and though Iron Man wasn't portrayed as anti-gay, he did make a comment 'bout him being racist; the exact (if I've got the scumbag title right, anywayz) quote was "Now that I've come across as the Imperial Grand Wizard of the KKK...".Originally Posted by luminum
Big points to any real geeks who can name me the V. and issue # where Tony the Tool said that...
No relation to the *totally*-biased-towards-DC GLA spin-off reject dipshits at http://www.prismcomics.com, I'm sure...?Originally Posted by okstatecowboy
hmm, we should start different threads for DC and marvel. Cause I don't know what the fuck is going on in Marvel right now (by default, im a dc fan) Civil war seems awesome, but i am so far behind, i cant get into it. i missed too much. If its anything as big as infinite Crisis at DC then it must be awesome
One of the founding members of the CoH PRISM did go on to found PRISM comics, but the two groups have nothing in common.Originally Posted by Homoaffectional
Don't feel bad, I'm buying most of the Civil War stuff and I feel so far behind myself. Some of it just isn't making any sense... I think part of it is the way the books are scheduled to come out.Originally Posted by Scruffy88
The last comic/manga I read was Battle Royale... which is where I found the chick in my avatar. My friend had it, and she hates manga but said it was THAT good. And it was good, I loved i t an imidiately bought the novel it was based off of. It's amazing I loved it so much, considering I don't read manga at all.
...changed my life. lol
MunSimpson: Hey bro, glad to see another BR fan here. (Thought I was the only one...) The manga's awesome, way more than the film version since the movie never got to flesh out the students like the comic did.
Mitsuko is awesome. She's gotta be the most creative killer out there.
God, she was hella nuts. But I lurved her. My ex and I rented it hoping it would be a fun gore-fest like Kill Bill but ti turned out to be a bit more disturbing than we thought.
I still think DC's to glitz and camp for me to take it very seriously. The primaries! The costumes! Gah!
Yeah, censor nuts should have a field day with it. It's way more freaky than Kill BIll 'cuz those are actual 15 year olds playing 15 year olds who are stabbing, shooting, and maiming each other.
But it's way tame comapred to the Manga version. There we get brains, guys getting uzi-ed in the crotch, Mitsuko raping a guy to death, and other scary shit that some of my badass straight friends can't even stomach.
Did anyone read Nick Fury? I just saw that there is a movie announced for 2008. My thing is that I never read the original S.H.I.E.L.D. series from the 60's (I wasn't born) but I became interested when I saw a parody of it done in a Simpsons comic. It made out that it was all kinda weird 60's psychadelic in style (by Streranko) and I love all that kinda stuff so I was trying to look out to buy some of the old versions. BUT i know that Hollywood will just modernize the story in another generic factory superhero remake, which I am so sick of! They did the same with Fantastic Four. I wanted them to do a jokey, camp 1960's version like the original (kinda like Incredibles did), but I suppose that would be unmarketable.
Hey hey! BR fans, coolness.
Yeah, Mitsuko was by far my favorite killer in the series AND probably just one of my favorite in general. I guess why I like her is because just about every highschool has to potential to have a Mitsuko. Molested and abused as a little girl only to become a hollow shell as a teenager. Scary thought actually.
And the manga was so gory. Especially with the sickel deaths, like when she cut through the girls neck, and also the one guy who tried to seduce, when it cut through the bridge of his nose and face. It was disurbing.
Well I have been out of the loop.
But I've recently just read Civil War # 1, and Cap fighting those gaurds kicked ass, especially when you find out he takes the pilot out for Burgers and Fries (I know Marvels, he's such a monster!:P)
I also read house Of M, most of the comics from the fallout, X-men Forever, which was kind of weird....why did Mystique look like movie Mystique, they do that on purpose? I read Cyclops Icons, I had trouble reading it though because it was kinda bad and the art didn't turn my crank.
Also read X-men Giant Size #1!
and a bunch of other stuff...oh and I read the Uncanny X-men house of M stuff...and it was just weird...I didn't really like it, I also didn't like when the Shi'Ar killing the entire Grey family...it just seemed kinda I unno....bad? I can see why peopel don't like Claremont.
I've read most of "X-Men The End" which isn't SO bad, but a lot of characters I find seem out of character.
And I read my Phoenix: Endsong which I liked....the art is amazing...It's too bad Warsong doesn't look any where near as good as Endsong.
Oh yeah and I Drew the Phoenix...here's a picture (and don't worry it's not my atrocious MSPaint pictures). but because jub as silly size restrictions you're only going to get to see some of it, in fact only a small bit. . I'll upload it to photobucket if i get good compliments ... or when i have highspeed.

Ann Stevenson - Never shake a baby
Experts have learned that crying is the No. 1 trigger for shaking a baby
Nov 2, 2012 | 4 Comments
Click, click. How does the sound of knitting needles busily clicking together help prevent infant abuse?
Through a national campaign called Click for Babies, more than 50,000 handmade purple-colored baby caps from volunteer knitters and crocheters across the country are helping to raise awareness about normal crying and the dangers of shaking an infant.
During November, babies born at hundreds of participating hospitals will receive a free purple baby cap, a DVD and booklet called the Period of PURPLE Crying. The PURPLE program was created by the National Center on Shaken Baby Syndrom to help parents understand their baby's crying.
In McMinnville, parents of every baby born at Willamette Valley Medical Center receive this educational, 10-minute DVD and pamphlet upon discharge. They are encouraged to share the DVD with their baby's caretakers as well.
In November, each baby also will receive a purple cap. In collaboration, the McMinnville Noon Kiwanis Club pays for the DVDs, and the hospital's birthing center distributes them.
Traci Millsap, nurse manager for the Women's Center at the medical center is enthusiastic. "I think it's a wonderful way to present a difficult subject," she said. "Some parents don't understand that crying is normal. They don't want anyone to know they are frustrated and may not ask for or seek help. This is an educational tool to help them and, I hope, prevent shaken baby syndrome in the future. What is really great is that this DVD is good for mom, dad, grandparent, siblings, babysitters and anyone else who may be left alone with an infant."
PURPLE, an easy-to-remember acronym, reminds parents of the characteristics of normal infant crying:
P - Peak of crying. Babies may cry more each week, peaking at two months, and then less at three to five months.
U - Unexpected. Crying can come and go, with no explanation.
R - Resists soothing. The baby might not stop crying, no matter what you try.
P - Pain-like face. It may look like the baby is in pain, even when he or she is not.
L - Long lasting. The baby might cry five hours a day or more.
E - Evening. The baby might cry more in the late afternoon or evening.
Experts have learned that crying is the No. 1 trigger for shaking a baby. An estimated 1,200 to 1,400 children are injured by shaking every year in the United States, and about 25 percent die from their injuries. Actual numbers may be much higher, as many cases likely go undetected or misdiagnosed.
Not only is shaken baby syndrome/abusive head trauma a crime, it is also a serious public health issue. Besides death, shaking an infant can result in permanent disability, blindness, mental retardation or developmental delays, learning disabilities, cerebral palsy, motor dysfunction and seizures.
Survivors may require constant medical or personal attention, which places tremendous emotional and financial strain on families. Medical costs associated with initial and long-term care for these children can range from $300,000 to more than $1 million.
"Many parents have no idea what to expect when they bring their new baby home from the hospital," says Ryan Steinbeigle, director of development for the NCSBS. "The goal of the Period of PURPLE Crying program is to give parents reasonable expectations and let them know that all healthy infants cry more in the first few weeks and months of life. The crying will come to end, and it is OK to put the infant down in a safe place and walk away when feeling frustrated."
The good news is that the syndrome is preventable, and we all have a role in that prevention. We can help educate others about the dangers of shaking a baby, we can create awareness of normal infant crying, and we can help support a new parent in the often-frustrating daily care of their newborn by offering to lend a hand. As the national center states on its website, "Believe all babies can be safe from harm. We do."

That said, it is unfortunate and in poor taste that you chose to spread your agenda in an article that discusses prevention of abuse and attempt to shift focus from this prevention effort. You agree that shaking a baby can cause serious damage, and this article only goes to reinforce this shared belief and how these injuries can be prevented. I agree with your statement that most parents are loving and would never intentionally hurt their infants. SBS is usually an unintentional injury that is a response to caregivers being unable to stop a baby from crying. Prevention efforts to educate about the normality of early infant crying have been proven to help. Multiple studies have shown that AHT cases doubled during the recent recession.
TV, ads, and the media teach children about sex from the time second they are born, yet many parents still do not talk to their children about protection, prevention, or parenting. I need a license to catch a fish, I have to pass my classes with a decent grade to receive a piece of paper that will amount to little in today's job market, yet I need to do nothing special to be a parent.
When will we wake up and realize parenting is not a right, it is a privilege, and there needs to be more done to protect our children?
Purple hats are great, but what about screening for parents, drug tests, mandatory classes, support groups for those who may have limited support, job skills classes for prospective parents who need it, etc?

Changing market means smaller homes next to custom houses
By Cindy Wojdyla Cain firstname.lastname@example.com December 1, 2012 5:32PM
Home owners Cheryl Carbone (left) and Stacy Harshbarger talk about the manufactured homes being built in their Grande Park Subdivision while standing in front of Harshbargers custom built home in Plainfield, Illinois, Thursday, November 29, 2012. | Joseph P. Meier~Sun Times Media
Article Extras
Updated: January 3, 2013 6:15AM
PLAINFIELD — Dozens of people bought custom homes in the Grande Park subdivision when the real estate market was flying high in 2005-2006.
But when the bubble burst, they were surrounded by empty lots that went into foreclosure. Now, a national home builder is buying up the lots and building partially pre-fabricated homes called production homes that are smaller and cost less, in some cases much less. Custom homes in the large subdivision in northwest Plainfield originally cost $400,000 to as much as $900,000. The new homes start as low as $230,000.
The original settlers of the subdivision are not happy, but there isn't much they can do.
Village gains
The move is positive for the village because the lots will be developed. But the trend is viewed as a negative by residents who purchased custom homes that will be surrounded by smaller, less expensive production homes.
Stacy Harshbarger, who lives in the Anfield section of Grande Park, bought her home in 2006 for $502,000. The value has dropped at least $100,000 with the housing market crash. Now Harshbarger expects her value to sink another $30,000 to $40,000 because of the production homes being built all around her by Ryan Homes.
"It's pretty bad," she said.
Harshbarger lost her job in 2009 and she was just recently able to get a comparable position. But the new job won't help the fact that she's underwater on her home.
Cheryl Carbone, who lives in the Lakeside section of Grande Park, won't be underwater, but she expects to lose all of her equity in her home.
"We invested our life savings into this place and we wanted to raise our family here," she said. "This was our dream home."
A lot of attention is paid to people whose homes are in foreclosure, Carbone said. But not too many people are aware of what is happening to residents of unfinished subdivisions.
"We might not be losing our homes, but we're losing value," she said. "We just want our neighborhood to look the way we were told (it would look) when we moved in."
Village Planner Michael Garrigan said custom home owners are justified in being upset with the prospect of being surrounded by less expensive homes.
"I do feel for these people," he said. "The problem is, the market is not there."
Carbone disagrees. She said several $500,000 homes in her part of the subdivision sold this summer.
No legal recourse
While homeowners pushed for the village to intercede, "Legally, we cannot stop them from building homes," Garrigan said of the large national builders that have come back to Plainfield to build smaller, cheaper homes.
Calista Mitchell, who bought her home in the Lakeside area of the Grande Park said residents of her subdivision aren't being snobby when they oppose the less expensive homes. They're happy to have new neighbors, but they're just protecting their investments.
"We have been hit so hard already, and we understand everyone has, but this may be something we can't come back from," she said.
The smaller production homes aren't going to look like "doll houses" next to some of the more expensive custom houses, she said.
"If they just made any effort to make them architecturally interesting, that would go a long way," she said. "The look of the homes is completely different."
The custom homes have brick fronts with elaborate roof lines and three-car garages. The production homes have flat fronts featuring more vinyl and smaller garages.
"They're just so plain," Mitchell said.
Helpless feeling
Mitchell said her group fought against the production homes to no avail. Neither the subdivision's developer not the village budged, she said. Grande Park residents believe the new homes don't abide by subdivision covenants to prevent monotony, but no one will back them up. They can't even find a lawyer who will help them.
"They just swat us like flies and tell us to go away," Mitchell said.
Carbone said even the subdivision's homeowner's association is controlled by a management company owned by the developer. Homeowner's associations aren't turned over to residents until the subdivision is completed, which was something no one realized until the trouble started.
"We had nobody to go to protect us," Carbone said.
While village planners celebrate an uptick in home building permits and a return of the big home builders to Plainfield, Mitchell is bracing for production homes to arrive in her section of Grande Park.
"Every day when I get home from work, I'm waiting to see that they've started the first house."

B.S.Ed. in Bilingual/Bicultural Education
The B.S.Ed. in Bilingual/Bicultural Education is designed to provide graduates with both an elementary teaching licensure and endorsements to teach English language learners in grades K-9. The curriculum uses an interdisciplinary model, involving five departments across the School of Education and the College of Arts and Sciences. Candidates who complete this program will be able to teach in two languages and be competent in addressing the educational needs of English language learners.
The need for teachers of English language learners is dramatic. As the number of non-English-speaking students has grown, so has the demand for teachers who specialize in teaching students with limited English proficiency (LEP). According to a recent study by Recruiting New Teachers (RNT, 2000), nearly 73% of the largest urban school districts in the 50 states noted an immediate need for bilingual teachers.

2012 Toyota Venza
Posts: 10
mmccloskey Posts: 168Please reference the below attached link. It provides the latest info on the 2012 Venza. In brief, Toyota has established a 3 model lineup (LE, XLE, Limited) with no referenced cosmetic/visual changes in their release. No prices as yet, but it is expected the 2012 Venza will be arriving at dealerships in late October.
I currently have a 2007 Toyota Highlander Hybrid Limited which has been a great vehicle. I have considered the Venza and was hoping the 2012 model would have some minor exterior/interior changes besides the above noted model designations. I really like my HH but it's rather somber appearance has me wanting something more stylish. I did test drive a 2010 Venza V6 AWD but found the driving/handling of the Venza somewhat disconnected compared to my HH. The Venza was a bit quieter and nicer overall, but I'd be giving up an average 28mpg car for an average 22mpg in the V6 Venza. Now if Toyota would offer the Camry Hybrid powertrain in the Venza I'd take one in Silver with all options!!
Anyway, hope the link provides the info you are looking for.

sakeller Posts: 4My local Toyota dealer told me yesterday that there will not be multiple trim levels on the 2012 Venza. I referred them to the Toyota product information and press release published 9-21 on the Toyota website. They say the information is incorrect. If this is truly the case I don't understand why Toyota has not updated their information with an additional press release. I guess we won't know until the new vehicles arrive at the dealerships in December.
newcarshoppe Posts: 10If that is the case the automotive world press is going to be very upset. I believe the Sept 21 release has been the subject of articles in most all auto publications. Was it a sales person at the dealer that told you this or the owner of the dealership. If it was a sales person this could be the ultimate "throw you under the bus" hoping to try and sell you a 2011 in stock. I've asked two different dealers in San Antonio and they both referred me to the 21st press release. One even gave me a copy. No one I talked to mentioned the December release date. Was it the same dealer that you spoke with that gave you that information?
sakeller Posts: 4The guy who gave me the information was the Fleet Manager at the dealership. When I questioned his information and told him about the press release on Sept 21 he checked with a Toyota product manager and called me back later to reconfirm our original conversation. He also reconfirmed the December arrival of the new model.
I expect that Toyota is extremely careful and factual with their press releases. I have to believe these guys at the dealership are mis informed. The fleet manager knows that I don't want a 2011 and will come to see him when the 2012 models arrive so he will certainly be embarrased if he is not correct. -

usfan Posts: 5Hi,
regarding the introduction of the 2013 Venza @ the NY auto show, I was wondering whether these modest changes are worth the wait for the new model?
I was planning to purchase in Jul/Aug - do you think I should wait n' get the new model or try to purchase the 12' Venza at an "appropriate" price/rebate?
Thx so much in advance! -
mmccloskey Posts: 168Greetings:
The full reveal of the 2013 Venza will occur next month so I'd wait to see exactly how different the changes are before deciding on a 2012 (carryover) or jump in on the 2013. According to the Toyota release, the exterior changes are minor - revised front grille, LED running lights on the Limited, revised taillights (LED - hopefully) and puddle lamps w/turn signal indicators in the mirrors. There may be other minor tweaks that weren't referenced. The interior will get memory seats and upgraded audio features. I would guess they may change the wood tone along with some other minor items.
I purchased a 2011 back in late October based on the 2012's not having any external changes (except for the trim level badge). I would have waited had I known the 2013's were going to feature changes that I may be interested in. I did get a very good deal on my Venza and have been pleased with the car in general but may jump in on a 2013 if the changes warrant such a move.
In summary, if you want an updated Venza that will look 'new' for the next two model years then the 2013 is the way to go. Of course you will pay more over a 2012 if the updates aren't of any interest.
I look forward to seeing the 2013 Venza when it debuts in April.

mmccloskey Posts: 168If Toyota produced a Hybrid version of the Venza I'd buy one in a minute! I traded my 2007 Highlander Hybrid Limited on the Venza and miss the HH so much. The Venza is a nicer car in many ways but the HH was a better car. The mpg I'm getting in the Venza (FWD V6) is within a mile or two of the HH so not much difference there. The build quality of the Venza is acceptable but the HH was several notches above.
I would think that modifying the Venza platform for the HSD system plus battery placement would impact the cargo area and make the car heavier which might negate any MPG gain over the ICE. Also, a Venza Hybrid would step on the toes of the Lexus RX450h! -

mmccloskey Posts: 168Quite simply, a 'puddle lamp' is a light on the bottom of the mirror housing that directs a 'puddle' of light down onto the ground area below the mirror to help illuminate your way to the vehicle should it be extremely dark outside. The Venza has an illuminated entry system that activates the interior lights upon approach when you press the unlock button on the remote or grab the door handle if you have the Smartkey system.
Hope the above sheds some light on the puddle lamp question.

mmccloskey Posts: 168The 'puddle lamp/light' nomenclature is an industry term. The info I quoted regarding the 2013 Venza features was from the toyota pressroom website. I don't make things like that up and certainly wouldn't pass on erroneous information. That feature is not considered a luxury but is common on many mid-line vehicles. I had a 2005 Ford Freestyle Limited that had puddle lamps that illuminated when I pressed the unlock button on the remote.
Of course you could always look up puddle lamp/light on the internet to get a more official explanation.

Doug Ohlemeier, Eastern EditorWith Florida the second-leading U.S. fresh produce producing state, many wonder why there isn't a larger volume of Florida produce served to children through schools.
It's particularly perplexing since grower-shippers produce during the fall to summer school session.
The Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services took authority over the state's child nutrition programs in January and is trying to place more fresh produce in schools by unifying two systems that don't communicate with each other.
School districts don't understand farming and growers don't understand the schools' procurement system and the segment's potential volume, said Robin Safley, director of the department's division of food, nutrition and wellness.
The first bid it issued in September for 10 products taught the agency much about how it can improve the process, unify measures and consolidate different product ordering specifications, which should help growers meet the demand for the 2.5 million children fed through the programs each school day, Safley said.
One district might request a 5-pound bag of whole product while another may spec a 10-pound value-added bag.
Though many Florida districts buy through cooperatives for processed foods and paper products, most procure produce independently.
Instituting common ordering and pushing products based on harvest times could add more produce in the cafeterias, Safley said.
Last year's unseasonably warm strawberry season, which saw more Mexican product entering earlier than normal, produced a glut.
The agency notified districts about availability and schools in Pinellas County, home of Clearwater and St. Petersburg, the western part of the Tampa-St. Petersburg metropolitan area, served strawberries in all its elementary and middle schools.
That generated interest, attracted television news coverage and helped move the berries, Safley said.
Beyond strawberries
Safley said the state could help blueberry growers, who normally finish retail sales in late April, extend their season by selling the remaining berries to school districts through May and could help growers better utilize their labor, she said.
"It's a very complicated system in many ways," Safley said. "It has lots of moving parts, especially when dealing with fresh produce.
"If we focus on creating the market, like getting the schools organized and putting demand on the product, I have faith the farming, distributing and processing communities will start working themselves out and start identifying those issues quickly and create a solution."

Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra Stalling Problem
benleuser7 Posts: 3Hey I got a 1995 gmc sierra 5.7l v8 z71 with 450,000k and well this problem first started after i drove for about 25minutes or + then parked for 5 minutes and restarted my engine almost immediately after started its like it stalls. The battery volts go down oil pressure goes down and it vibrates and shuts off. happened alot during the summer and then stopped for a month now even sometimes when im driving alot even in a parking lot the same thing happens im accelerating and then its like it looses power and battery volts go down as well as the oil pressure and dies but i can start it right away. and sometimes when its doing this if i accelerate alot harder it won't die. For winter i need tires rear brakes and my power steering pump is leaking so before i start putting money into this i need to fix this issue. Any thought or potential solutions would be greatly appreciated.
krc4x4 Posts: 1I'm not sure if you have fixed your problem yet, but I would try the remote battery terminal. Loosen the bolts and hit all the contacts with a piece of sandpaper or steel wool or something. After years corrosion builds up and doesn't break the connection, but can weaken the flow of current. Like I said, I'm not sure if it helps @ all, but I've had several vehicles that had that problem and that is what it was. I hope it helps.
benleuser7 Posts: 3i tried that last week and it is still happening, however when the truck shuts off my battery light and my check gages light comes on so does that mean all this is my battery? cause when im driving and accelerate and it sputters it doesnt shut off then so is that a different problem?
andyrogers442 Posts: 2Truck battery died tried to jump it. Didn't work. New battery starts fine,runs fine but lights dim at stops. Truck idles down and wants to stall. Hit the gas back to normal. Alternator tested good, ground looked good, checked blower motor resistor looked fine, and blower works fine. Also truck stays running if heater is off at low RPM's. Any comments could help
lisalisaharvey Posts: 1Hi my names Lisa and i have a 1999 chevy silverado 1500. Were having the same problem the rpms started going crazy and it started revving itself at red lights and stop signs etc. we changed everything we could think of put new spark plugs, wires, fuel filter, air filter, mass airflow sensor, got the iag valve cleaned and more stuff i cant think of right now. its still doing it and its getting way worse. now at stop lights etc anytime its supposed to idle it stalls and chokes out. i dk what to do help
egonza Posts: 1Hello,
I have a 2003 silverado 4.3L that I have an issue with when I try to accelerate. I turn the truck on and it turns on perfectly fine, when I put it in gear and try to take off it stalls like if gas was being restricted, this is only when i have it in drive! I can drive it but it will stall literally every other second and i've noticed that when it blows black smoke. It doesnt give me any check engine light, put a scanner in and no codes....I have replaced fuel pressure regulator, fuel pump, fuel injectors and fuel filter and not it does this...any help will be appreciated. -

rraner Posts: 1I have a '95 k2500 silverado 6.5 turbo diesel 4x4 with around 250,000+ miles on it. The beginning of February I drove it one morning and everything was fine. left for home in the evening still fine. Stopped to do something then went to turn it on (belched black smoke) and it stalled almost immediately. This happened several times in a row. Waited on a mechanic to show up and by the time he got there it started up and ran fine. Got almost home and it stalled out again. Next day this happened again and it stalled out while I was driving this time. Started it up just fine but no smoke this time. Its now the middle of March and I just got the money up to replace the lift pump drive (been sitting since February). Put it on last night, drove it today and still after 30 minutes the truck wants to die. Last year I had to replace the fuel pump 2-3 times. If I replace it again will this solve the issue? I'm at the limit of what I know to do. Does anyone have any suggestions please?
KCRam Mt. Arlington NJPosts: 3,516Black smoke means the engine is getting more fuel than it can handle (diesel tuners used to pride themselves on how much black smoke they could generate with fueling boxes). It almost sounds like your stalling is due to fuel flooding. You'll probably need to mount a fuel pressure gauge and check to see if you're in spec - it could also be your fuel pressure regulator that's failing.

sb8807 Posts: 1my 99 chevy silverado 4x4 5.3L v8 has for a while been stalling out while im driving down the road. i will be driving along and suddently you feel the truck begin to slow in speed, the throttle doesnt respond and when you come to a complete stop the RPMs which usually run around 1000 are down to 250. i have to turn off the truck and wait a few minutes then restart, this doesnt always work and have to wait longer periods of time. after the RPMs return to 1000 my truck will creep along like its trying to go before you feel the truck suddenly begin to accelarate and runs fine before the problem persist. have changed spark plugs, fuel pressure regulator, and fuel filter. have also recently replaced the starter. any suggestions.
mextexdad Posts: 1Might be a knock sensor. A malfunctioning knock sensor could cause ignition timing to be too far advanced, which would cause the "clattering" sound and drivability issues. If that is the problem, it should run fairly well at higher speeds and light loads. Might be able to verify with timing light.
tcc1973 Posts: 1I've never had this problem with my Silverado, but I have seen this with my other vehicle(99 Chrysler LHS) and like you, I changed a lot of sensors before I got to the Throttle Position Sensor. Some days it would run fine, other days it would bog down and stall. Definitely test and/or replace the TPS.
2013ltz62 Posts: 2i have a 2013 6.2 and i have 2 issues, biggest issue is at slight acceleration the engine stumbles/hesitates/misses which you can feel as well as the tach goes up and down 100 or so rpm, no codes, was told by the dealer i need to wait till it throws a code....it bothered the hell out of me so i brought it back to the dealer, the tech hooked up a handheld scanner and 20 seconds later he said it needs a cam? since it wasnt a consistent hesitation and no back firing plus it ran great wot it was hard to believe, i questioned him and he said he has done 200 cams in this engine, i asked if he meant the 5.3 etc? he said no the 6.2? he said he "wasnt 90% sure it needs a cam but he was 100% sure", i said a cam sensor {still not thinking it needs a cam}, he said no,a cam, it would take 3 days-did i want to leave it, i said no then i said the reason i bought the 6.2 because i thought the 6.2 l series platform was proven to be a good engine and it was a high hp engine with the roller cam etc, he said the roller lifters get slightly turned in the plastic lifter guides and the roller cuts a groove in the cam...i could not believe what i was hearing after 2000 miles....now what? ANY HELP IS NEEDED, THANKS EVERYONE
dsavoy23 Posts: 1I've also got a 93 Silverado Z71. Mine will cut off when I put into reverse and sometimes at idol. It shuts off and I lose power steering, breaks, and check battery comes up. Almost like I was out of gas. But it would start back up with no problems. It's currently in the shop and I haven't heard back from them on what they think is going on. It sounds real strange and I'm glad to find others with the same problem
lprimo Posts: 1While driving my 99 silverado in hot weather (110) i have to rlease the gas pedal to shift from first gear to second gear. This does not happen unless it is very hot outside. I dont have any check engine lights on and when i took it to my mechanic he said the temp on the transmisson looked good and of course when he took it for a spin it shifted correctly without a problem. Any idea what it might be.

slbailes Posts: 3i have a 6.2L as well. i have been having an issue with hesitation for about 9 months. i have taken it to 2 dealerships and GM told me today there isn't anythign wrong with it. were they able to resolve your issue by replacing the cam? i don't know what to do, i bought the truck new, it's a 09 and it only started about 9 months ago.
slbailes Posts: 3I have a 2009 silverado 6.2L. I bought it new, and about 9 months ago it started to shift bad. i have been fighting GM to fix it, they replaced the transmission in Feb, however the issue was not resolved. I am at dealership 2 now and GM called me today to tell me that tech support says nothign is wrong with it. The guys at the dealership know there is, but now they are tied down because GM says it's normal. Anyone have any ideas? It's not throwing codes, the data recorder comes back normal. It doesn't do it all the time, but upon acceleration it will hesitate/slip between gears.
gmcustsvc Posts: 4,171Hi slbailes,
I understand the frustration you're feeling with your vehicle and apologize that the dealership hasn't been able to find the cause of your concerns. Have you spoken to GM Customer Service about this issue? If not, we'd like to set up a customer case for you within our system to document your transmission shifting concerns. If this is of interest to you, please feel free to email me at firstname.lastname@example.com [attn Amber]. Please reference this post and include your full name, VIN, mileage, and dealer. Please feel free to include your screen name as well.
Thank you

slbailes Posts: 3Thanks for responding. The dealership has been working with GM. yesterday the dealership claled me and said that techs (on the phone from GM) can't figure out what is wrong so they said the truck is operating within limits. the dealership is telling them it is flaring and not shifting right. But they said if GM tells them to not do anything they can't. I am calling lawyers today, to sue GM. They can't refuse to fix my truck when the dealership is telling them it's not running within limits. Some guy on the phone who has never seen my truck will not tell me that my truck is fine. I paid $64,000 for my truck, it will be fixed.
gmcustsvc Posts: 4,171Hi slbailes,
Again, I understand that this situation is highly frustrating for you, and I apologize that your vehicle hasn't been fixed yet. I would be more than happy to take a second look at your case to ensure that every option is being considered to resolve this issue for you. If you decide to hire a lawyer however, I am no longer allowed to assist with this situation.
Thank you

nipomo_mech Posts: 2Hey ya'll. I'm going to start out with I am more of a Ford and Dodge man, although I own a '94 Chevy 1500 Z71 and it has done nothing but let me down.
I'm helping a friend out with his 2002 GMC Sierra 1500 4x4 w/ 4.8 vortec engine(recently bought used) approx. 90,000 miles. It began to stall about 2 weeks ago and today after picking it up from the shop, it stalled in the middle of an intersection after a red light. When it stalled, he described it as, "it started hopping around and shaking. All the electronics shut off and it took about 15 minutes for it fire back up."
I pretty much have it narrowed down to 3 possible issues; crank shaft position sensor, idle air sensor, altitude sensor. I know that all 3 of those possibilities will not immediately produce an error code, if one at all. I hooked my code reader up to it anyway and I got nothing out of it. These are all fairly probable causes for it to stall. From his description, I am leaning towards the crank shaft position sensor. But why would the crank shaft position sensor cause the electronics to shut down with the ignition on?
So far I haven't found any issues with the alternator or transmission(that would cause it to stall).
Does anyone have some advice to throw my way, besides cleaning the sensors and checking the grounds(basic initial diagnosis steps).
Any useful info will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

The crash occurred just after 3:30 p.m. The broken line could have caused an evacuation of the whole building and area.
Two people were inside the car when the crash occurred.
A passenger in the car was injured, according to Stan Clark of Bradley County Emergency Service.
The driver jumped the curb near the retaining wall, crashed through the wall and struck the facility's back-up power generator.
The natural gas line was ruptured below ground "causing a serious leak."
Cleveland Fire Department incident commander Lt. Buddy Ford said facility officials began evacuating patients from rooms near the affected area.
Patients were sheltered in place until Chattanooga Gas Co. officials arrived to cap the gas line.
Clark said a BCEMS ambulance and personnel were already on the scene at the facility when the crash occurred.
CFD officials arrived and extricated the man from his vehicle.
The female driver was uninjured during the crash. The male victim, 65, was transported to SkyRidge Medical Center in stable condition.
Clark said the man had "inhaled a large amount of the natural gas" as it rushed from the large pipe which had been ruptured underground.
"Multiple agencies responded to the scene. The gas leak posed a larger problem in that the safety of the nursing home residents was now compromised.
"Perry Rogers the assistant chief for BCEMS arrived on the scene to assist in coordination with other facilities that could receive residents for temporary placement," Clark said.
Bradley County Fire Rescue Chief and Emergency Management Agency Director Troy Spence coordinated with schools to have buses staged in the event of a full evacuation.
Officials with Chattanooga gas used heavy equipment to reach the ruptured portion of the gas line and shut the flow off just after 5 p.m.
"They did a great job. If not for their quick response and getting the gas shut off, we would have been in a full-blown evacuation" Clark said.
"We have several nursing type facilities in Cleveland. Today we saw how quick an event could occur to require a full-scale evacuation. This was one of the closest times we have ever come to having to fully evacuate a facility of this type.
"All of the pre-planning, annual drills, and continued training paid off today," Clark said.

Do any of our designers make templates for multiple pics within a number or letter? This might be a good addition to the monthly collab and I'm thinking it might motivate someone, me, to keep up with the 365 project if I had a template that represented the month with multiple pics. Here is an example.
There were also a couple of los with large letters...I can't seem to find them in the gallery because I think they were done a few months back!

Zippy's Info...
I am already neutered, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Zippy and his littermates were given to the rescue after they placed an ad trying to find homes for them. They had never been indoors and were so cute that we just couldn't resist taking them in! Zippy loves to play and is very affectionate. He is great with kids and loves other dogs too! Zippy is around 1yr old and he is ready for his new home!Please, you MUSTpaste following link into your browser BEFORE emailing for further information.

Why Adoption is a Great Option
Zippy, a Spring Valley Dachshund/Beagle dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Dachshund/Beagle for sale in Spring Valley, or seeking a Dachshund/Beagle dog from a breeder in Spring Valley.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Spring Valley already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Spring Valley breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Dachshund/Beagle breeders who help with Dachshund/Beagle rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Spring Valley paves the way for another one to be saved.
