It never really went away, of course. Manhattanites always made pilgrimages to Grimaldi's and Peter Luger, to Coney Island and the Botanic Garden (see "Guide to Brooklyn"). But they came seeking humble, Brooklyn-y things: pizza, steak, roller coasters, trees. They didn't expect a salad of braised squid and pea shoots, or a stylish cocktail bar, or a killer music scene. Today, they'll find all these in spades, as well as those curious trees. Now friends from London, San Francisco, and even TriBeCa are eager to discover this "Brooklyn" everyone's talking about. They want in like Tony Manero wanted out. Brooklyn's renaissance is far enough along that the novelty angle is finally, blessedly moot, so restaurant critics and fashion editors no longer add "And it's in Brooklyn!" as a parent might say "And she's only a toddler!"
I admit the borough's new cachet comes as some vindication. (Taste it, 212!) And, sure, I love braised squid and fancy cocktails as much as the next yuppie arriviste. Happy they showed up. But I wonder if curious visitors aren't coming with misplaced expectations. If someone told you Brooklyn is "the next Manhattan," they got it dead wrong. Brooklyn is nothing like Manhattan. Brooklyn looks and feels and is like no place else.
The first thing you need to know about Brooklyn is that it is huge: New York's most populous borough, home to nearly a third of its citizens. An independent Brooklyn would be the nation's fourth-largest city. Brooklyn is a vast metropolis blessed and cursed to lie 500 yards from Manhattan.
The second thing you need to know about Brooklyn is that it is small. Big in breadth and attitude, but intimate in the height of its buildings, the modesty of its storefronts, the compactness of its communities. Defined by the stoop, the bodega, the bocce or basketball court, Brooklyn has an enduring neighborhood-ness. Come to my block next month and they'll be decking the stoops for Christmas; come in June, and the kids next door will be manning a lemonade stand.
Brooklyn has a singular ecology, sustaining a great variety of quirky or exotic things (and people) that have little or no place in Manhattan, nor in many other American cities. Things like bocce courts and lemonade stands and pick-your-own herb planters. Stickball games and ice cream trucks. Taquerias with screened porches, bistros with dogwood-shrouded patios, Russian beer gardens, Georgian supper clubs. The city's only South African restaurant, its only aquarium, its only carnival-style freak show. Rock concerts staged in an empty swimming pool, rock concerts staged in a Polish community center where old ladies sell stoned kids pierogi. An industrial canal that now attracts intrepid kayakers. And, throughout the borough, an incredible range of architecture, from Park Slope's Italianate brownstones to the 19th-century carriage houses of Clinton Hill.
With relatively ample space and some creative ways of using it, Brooklyn offers plenty of room for exception. Consider the five following examples, each of which could only exist here.
Case Study #1: The World in 73 Square Miles
I write about travel for a living, so really, there's no other place for me to live. Close to 100 ethnic groups are represented in Brooklyn, among them 935,000 immigrants. Some years ago, my wife and I got a car—a car! in New York City!—and began exploring Brooklyn as we would Miami or Los Angeles: on wheels. Now we spend weekends traversing what might as well be other hemispheres. You want Saigon? Sunset Park will do. Dakar? Fort Greene. Damascus? Atlantic Avenue. Krakow? Bedford Avenue. Kingston? East Flatbush.
Then there are the French, who have been flocking to Boerum Hill and Fort Greene, lured by cheaper rents and an unrushed, Continental pace. Smith Street is now lined with francophone hangouts such as Robin des Bois, Provence en Boîte, and Bar Tabac. Every July the latter hosts an epic Bastille Day bacchanal, when the surrounding streets are filled with sand for an all-day pétanque tournament. Gratuitous cultural stereotypes? We've got them too.
Case Study #2: Di Fara Pizza and Brooklyn Cuisine
Brooklyn is especially renowned for its restaurants. Media darlings like Applewood, the Good Fork, and Al Di Là share a distinct 718 sensibility. All are disarmingly personal, defined by the whims of the chef, who usually owns the place. A DIY aesthetic prevails, from the handwritten menus to the house-cured salumi. Creativity reigns, but pretense is banished.
Di Fara, a 44-year-old pizzeria in workaday Midwood, may not appear to have much in common with the above, but in a way it was a template for all that followed. It's chef-run (when owner Domenico DeMarco is sick, Di Fara shuts down), homespun (no LCD screens, just an ancient brass cash register), and reliant on, er, local produce (oregano and basil plants spilling over the windowsill). The kitchen is a model of inefficiency: DeMarco, 70, makes every pizza himself. Instead of prepping ingredients in advance, he'll grate just enough mozzarella and Grana Padana for a single pie, shreds only a few leaves of basil at a time. Making one pizza takes, oh, about seven hours. Watching DeMarco work, you think, This guy would be eaten alive in Manhattan. Which is why no one there makes pizza half as good.

Thanks to the timeless quality of Montessori materials, it seems that only the faces have changed in these photos from MSGL classrooms in 2000.
It's a genuine Polaroid photo and the genuine Mr. Jeff presenting abstract computations with the Stamp Game.
We still use the same dishwashing stands in the classroom today.
Miss Chloe has been preparing the environment at MSGL for a long time.
The Unifix Cubes are not a Montessori material but they allow for counting, sorting, color recognition, and provide a clear control of error.
It just feels good to put the colored pencils in their matching holders.
Taking the spindles out of the boxes reinforces the counting activity used to put them in - and it builds concentration.
Two friends can work together on the Teen Boards. They are matching the quantity with the symbol and witing the numerals.
Using scissors is classified as a language activity because it builds hand-eye coordination and strengthens the hand muscles required for writing.
A comfy chair is better when it's big enough for two.
And finally, what is Steve building?
I hope that was as fun for you as it was for me! Have a warm and wonderful Wednesday. ~Heather
Today is school picture day!
When Harriet and "the ducky" show up to take our pictures, you can bet that the children are well-dressed, the snack is no-mess, and the staff is slightly stressed - for two whole days. Sometimes there are tears and pouty faces, but never in front of the children :)
These teachers from 2004 look pretty happy. Enjoy this week's Wayback Wednesday photos from 2004.
Smile, silly ducky! And have a terrific Wednesday.

Thanks for reading. I hope you have been able to go sledding in all this snow. Have a terrific Wednesday!
We're really reaching back here for Halloween gold - all the way back to 1989. Back in the day, the whole school had a costume parade in the Morton Center gymnasium. It was a big year for bunnies, clowns, and superheroes.
One full year before MSGL acquired the property that is now our campus, the Calvary Baptist Church invited us to hold an open house for our families. These photos, from September 24, 1999, show lots of familiar faces and a campus without ramps, fences, or the 10 inches of snow that is on the ground today.
I can't bear to throw away a good opportunity for a photo comparison, but we don't have a current photo taken from the same perspective. Here are two beautiful photos that offer an idea of what this view looks like today.
I hope you were able to enjoy seeing some green grass and leaves on the trees. And I promise that Spring will come exactly when it's supposed to. Until then, thanks for reading and have your best possible Wednesday!

Prasad V et al. - Large studies must show improvements in overall mortality before novel agents are recommended and used. The implications of this proposal are considered.
- Recent trials in cardiovascular medicine have contradicted current practice, and, accordingly, are medical reversals.
- Extended-release niacin and fenofibrate have failed to provide mortality benefit when added to statin therapy, though both drugs have been used for this purpose for years.
- Cardiovascular primary prevention is no small matter.
- Annual spending on statins exceeded $19 billion in 2005, ezetimibe cost over $5 billion in 2007, and fenofibrate costs passed $1 billion in 2009.
- Given the tremendous price of these medications, and recent trials that have undermined years of practice, the authors propose that the bar for cardiovascular primary prevention has been raised.

Mini Striped Leather Jacket
Must have
This jacket is absolutely gorgeous. I have it in both black and egret. Very well made and fits true to size. Can be worn with both skirts and jeans to give your outfit an edge. The jacket is an attention getter and very unique. A must have in my book
January 4, 2013
When I initially saw this jacket online, I had to have it! I watched it for about a month, and I finally decided to purchase it. I remember last season they had a similar mini striped leather jacket that had sold out, so I was excited about seeing this one (which I thought was similar) back in stock. It wasn't similar to the previous style when I got it in person. Since the original price of the jacket was $229, I was expecting it to wow me. So when I received it in the mail, I was disappointed. For the price I was expecting it to at least provide some protection from the wind. It was super flimsy, and little more than decoration. I'm all for decoration, but in the right context. Considering the only time I'd wear a leather jacket would be at night, usually in the fall or winter, this jacket did nothing for me. It's very delicate and I could see it ripping easily. I felt like they used two strips of leather for this jacket, while the price is for a whole jacket's worth. Not worth the money, so I returned it. Cute, but no substance. I'd rather buy a faux leather jacket for much cheaper at Express and not except it to last. I bought a cherry red leather jacket at Bebe this season and was much more satisfied than I was with this one.

Very Sexy!!!!
I love this item. Very sexy when worn with a fitted outfit or shirt. Gives edge and sexiness.

Unique leather jacket
This is different from other jacket's designs. I like that is real leather and the zippers in the sleeves are a nice touch. Mine is color white (more like bone) and while I got my usual xs size, I feel it could be smaller for a true xs, but it's not that bad actually. That's why I'm casting 4 stars.
I will be careful with this piece because my jacket is in a light color (Egret) and it also has mesh, however the mesh doesn't seem too too fragile. Price is rather high but it sure is a stand out number!
If you can get it in a special offer, go for it. It's worth it.
I'm surprised to see no reviews of this jacket, specially since it has been around for a while now!

VOS, thanks for the quick reply
Any news on the RCA dongle for the C31? Seems like they are still very hard to find.
I always wondered why, if all the pins are already there in the H25/C31, they didn't just make one cable that had both composite AND component connectors?

Dawson looked up as Jaze entered the meeting room, offering a thin smile that looked rather practiced. He gave a small wave, then decided to sneak over as quietly as he could. Moving with as much speed and agility he could muster, he kicked the legs of a few chairs lightly on his way over. Finally reaching his destination, he settled into place near Jaze's seat.
"Hey there, I'm Dawson," he said while extending his hand and holding the smile in place. "I was with the extraction team, but in the chaos I didn't really get a chance to get to know anyone."
Overall he seemed nervous, bookish without a lot of confidence. He had keen, rarely blinking eyes that seemed to focus with an almost fierce clarity. The dark circles hanging under them, when combined with the lack of color in his cheeks, didn't do much for the rest of his face.
"Hi! I'm Jaze," he said, taking Dawson's hand and shaking it. Jaze gave a genuine smile. "You look familiar; I must have seen you at the tail end of the mission. I was with the other team, getting rid of Williams."
The other man had an off-setting appearance that took a moment to really sink in; his eyes sat almost unblinking, but had dark circles under them. They seemed to bore into both Dawson and Jaze's skulls. A chill crept up Jaze's spine, but there was no outward appearance of discomfort.
"So did you get to know Roland on your way in?" Jaze asked.

Dawson smiled and shook Jaze's hand, relief finally overwhelming tension he hadn't known he had. It was nice to have the simple gestures, the normalcy of the real world... in a secret base, preparing reconnaissance, or a raid, or a rescue mission, or whatever this one would be. Still, here he was, and he would make this his lot in life. His smile grew more confident with his thoughts.
"Yes, I was with the medical team on the truck. We probably only briefly bumped into each other, it was rather chaotic. It's good to meet you in a calmer setting."
Jaze wrote:
"So did you get to know Roland on your way in?" Jaze asked.
Dawson's nose wrinkled, his eyes squinting slightly as he searched his brows for some sort of memory. The seconds ticked down, his raised brows gaining distance from his wrinkled nose with each one. Finally, his face relaxed. He shook his head with an apologetic smile.
"I'm sorry, I seem to have forgotten who Roland is. Was he with your team?" he asked, hopeful placing the face to the name would jog his memory.

Niamh winced at Nate's description of what happened. "Ach, I understand completely, being into weapons myself, mostly modifying, I've had a few 'accidents' myself though none quite as big as that one."

v neck sweatshirt
by STEVEN ALAN
Having spent the past 20 years creating a mini fashion world grounded in classic American roots - fashioned with a twist - Steven Alan has quietly emerged an uncommon fashion pioneer. Upon opening his first retail store in 1994, Steven sold pieces from an eclectic group of emerging designers, becoming known for his keen eye. In 1999, Steven launched his first men's collection, including his now signature Reverse Seam Shirt, followed by a women's collection soon after. The collections build upon the same curatorial point of view using authentic fabrics and precise tailoring along with thoughtful details- resulting in easily wearable, refined casual looks.

Father-in-law: 'Nothing, nothing' to do with lottery winner's death

Updated: February 12, 2013 2:30PM
When Urooj Khan was a boy in his native India, his future father-in-law would give him pocket change to buy popcorn.
"I raised him up from the age of 12 years," Fareedun Ansari, 71, said Thursday, a day before Cook County prosecutors plan to seek a judge's order to exhume Khan's remains.
But Khan's brother-in-law, Mohammed Zaman, told the Chicago Sun-Times that the relationship between Khan and Ansari had soured recently.
"He was complaining about his father-in-law," Zaman said. "He was not too comfortable about him."
Zaman wouldn't go into specifics, citing the ongoing criminal investigation into Khan's death. Fareedun Ansari's name surfaced this week after documents showed he was in financial trouble in 2011, owing $124,000 in back federal taxes.
Ansari, who lived under Urooj Khan's West Rogers Park roof and was at home the night investigators say Khan died of cyanide poisoning, was adamant that he had nothing to do with the lottery winner's death.
"Nothing. Nothing," Ansari said, fighting a sore throat, as reporter after reporter came in for interviews at one of Urooj Khan's three dry-cleaning businesses on the Far North Side.
"He'd say 'Uncle, give me one rupee to buy the popcorn,' " he said of Khan as a boy.
Federal tax liens filed against Ansari in February and March of 2011 show Ansari owed a combined $124,000 in back taxes from 2010, according to Cook County Recorder of Deeds office records.
James Pittacora, Ansari's attorney, said Thursday he thinks Fareedun Ansari and Khan were close.
"From what I understand, they had a great relationship … no hostilities," Pittacora said.
Pittacora said that his client has not been interviewed by detectives investigating the death of the 46-year-old Khan.
Asked if there are any plans to do so, Pittacora said, "I don't know."
Initially, Khan's death was classified as stemming from natural causes — hardening of the arteries.
But a relative called the medical examiner's office and told the doctor handling the case to take a closer look. After some toxicology tests, Khan's death was reclassified as a homicide: cyanide poisoning.
No suspects have been named in the case, but the Cook County medical examiner says Khan's body should be exhumed to determine how the cyanide got into his system.
Khan's widow, a weary-looking Shabana Ansari, told an international group of reporters Thursday that she's cooperating with investigators, and she questioned a probate case that claims she might cut out Khan's daughter from a previous marriage from any assets.
"I was taking care of her all these years," Shabana Ansari said. "How could I do an injustice to her?"
The probate case, in the Circuit Court of Cook County, involves one of Khan's brothers, ImTiaz Khan, who wants a judge to force Citibank to release his brother's "account information and assets," according to court filings.
ImTiaz Khan, through his attorney, claims Urooj Khan's daughter from a previous marriage, Jasmeen, Shabana Ansari's stepdaughter, might not receive "her proper share" of the estate because "Ms. Ansari may be attempting to control [her husband's] accounts," according to court documents.
"As administrator of the estate, ImTiaz Khan respectfully requests that he be allowed to collect the lottery check payable to Urooj Khan, unfreeze the check, and deposit the funds into an estate account in order to preserve the asset for the decedent's daughter," according to court documents.
Zaman, 46, who is married to Urooj Khan's sister Meraj Khan, stood on the front steps of the family's bungalow on busy West Howard on Thursday and said his family is "devastated" by his death and is eager for answers.
"Everybody has to die, but not that way," Zaman said. "We didn't expect our brother to be the victim of a homicide."
Zaman insists he doesn't know which relative tipped off investigators that Urooj Khan's death might not be natural, as the medical examiner's office originally classified it.
"It's unusual — people don't collapse and die overnight," Zaman said.
Zaman said that from afar, at least, his brother-in-law and Shabana Ansari appeared to have a "good relationship."
But Zaman said the relationship between Urooj Khan's daughter, Jasmeen, and her stepmother had been strained for some time.
Jasmeen is now living with her aunt and Zaman, who gained custody after Urooj Khan died. Jasmeen no longer wanted to live at her West Rogers Park home after detectives searched it, Zaman said.
Zaman said his family has had almost no contact with Shabana Ansari since the homicide investigation began.
"After that, we couldn't talk to her because she hired all these attorneys," Zaman said.
Shabana Ansari said she loves her stepdaughter. "Yes, I do," she insisted Thursday.
She said she didn't know why the teen no longer lived at the family's West Rogers Park home.
Shabana Ansari confirmed again to reporters that she had prepared dinner the night Khan died, and she said the whole family shared the same lamb curry. She has said she had nothing to do with her husband's death.
Earlier this week, Fareedun Ansari said the family watched TV after the meal and then went to bed. Ansari recalled seeing his son-in-law later that night, and described him as looking "dull," clarifying that to mean drowsy.
Khan's wife said he began feeling ill in the middle of the night and collapsed when he tried to get up from a chair.
Khan died a short time later at an Evanston hospital.

Very little I'm afraid. I've cut way back to just The Dark Tower, Wonder Woman and Batwoman. Since Disney bought Marvel the entire medium seems a bit weak unfortunately.

Green Arrow movie cast Oliver Queen, Stephen Amell from Vampire diaries .
^TV show, not movie. The guy is hot.
Favorite Character; Jean Grey a.k.a. White Phoenix Of The Crown!
I bought an Alpha Flight graphic novel over the weekend. Apparently it's part of some bigger Marvel story arc about fear or whatever.
I loved how stereotypically Canadian the team is. I liked the story, the art, the characters. I am looking forward to the next volume.
jean is my main gave ... I'm hoping she comes back after Avengers vs X-men. I'm so hyped. Anyone catching the midnight showing?
Sounds like the Phoenix is after Hope. I'm not looking to see Jean, but will pleasantly surprised if we do.
Totally agree!!!!!!!
God been so long since I was here. Loving AVX so far let's hope it doesn't disappoint like Fear itself. Anyway still reading most X books although I should really drop some. Loving X Factor and W&XM although someone please kill Ide. Enjoying Angel and Faith and Buffy also Green Lanterns, Red Lanterns and Green Lanterns New Guardians. Picked up astonishing have to say this new team may bring it back close to what it once was.
Cannot wait until The Avengers comes out this coming Thursday!!!!!!!!

anyone subscribe to comics online? it's always such a pain schlepping to the store and I end up spending more money than I want to picking up random comics off the shelf... I'd love to find a place where I could just subscribe to my usual titles and get a package mailed out to me once/month.
I use Midtown Comics. You can either subscribe so they'll send you the new issues of your chosen titles, or you can pick and choose. You can also choose whether you want them sent as soon as they come out or once a month. I choose once a month to save on shipping. If your order is over $75, shipping is free.
I am loving AVX too! The newest Wolverine and the X-Men was pretty good although I think the art is terrible. I'm looking forward to daddy Gladiator showing up at the school!
I picked up the new Astonishing X-Men yesterday in which Northstar has a pretty big role, but everyone keeps calling him Jean Claude. Did I miss something? His name is Jean Paul. What gives?
Cover of Astonishing X-Men 51.

"Flipping Dykes I though they were a myth like Weapons of Mass Destruction" Grace Adler.
I kind of have to agree. The Shatterstar/Rictor romance has more nuance whereas I reckon Kyle was brought into existence just for this sort of attention grabbing sort of thing.
What gets me is Kyle is always refered to as his long time partner yet he didn't appear until post Uncanny issue 500. As far as I know you never got wind that Northstar was seeing anyone long term. At least with Rictor and Star their relationship started in the 90s.
In comic news, DC's original Green Lantern is now gay due to the reboot of EARTH 2. In addition to being young again, now, he has a handsome boyfriend.
There's a preview of the new EARTH 2 here.
It's a good time for gays in comics right now. Northstar marries his bf, Alan Scott goes gay... It's nice to see gay male characters breaking through.
Th gay comic book characters just brings up a sense of irrelevance in the stories, love in general with the comic books just seems so unnecessary.
I think we'll be pushing our luck though soon if the big two comics companies keep having major gay storylines. I'm gay and even I'm getting sick of it. I mean, no-one makes a big deal about interracial relationships anymore.
Yes but it could easily go the other way. Suddenly when evil people start saying gay people want to turn the whole world gay, there's evidence to back it up. At least for the very silly it is.
I would actually have rathered an entirely new gay character who becomes a Green Lantern. I think DC has mismanaged this.
The DC thing was a joke. "GREEN LANTERN IS GAY!!!!!!"
...except it's not Hal...
...and it's not in the prime universe...
...and therefore nobody cares.
Personally, I'm happy about the Northstar wedding. They made an event of it, and people will notice. I am also really happy about the Wiccan/Hulkling line.
That we are capable only of being what we are, remains our unforgivable sin.
- Gene Wolfe
I care that GL is gay. I have read the first two issues of Earth 2 and I really like it so far. Can't wait for more!
I meant that it was cheating - they advertised a "major character" and this is an alternate version of a minor character from decades ago who just happens to share a title with an actual major character.
That we are capable only of being what we are, remains our unforgivable sin.
- Gene Wolfe
I don't know, I've been a pretty avid fan of Justice Society for a while now so for me, the perspective has been that Alan Scott is a major character. I understand he isn't a member of the JLA, so he doesn't carry the extra-media star power that Superman, Batman, or Wonder Woman carries....
And hopefully they make him a bigger character. If Earth 2 really takes off then he will be a bigger character by default. I really like it. I have my fingers crossed for a DC Animated feature down the road.
Astonishing X-men #51 is out! From my blog:
Astonishing X-men #51 is out today, with Northstar and Kyle's wedding as the main event. While coming in the middle of a storyarc that has nothing to do with it, the issue is almost exclusively dedicated to the wedding, yet it still feels a bit short and glossing over the controversy that people expected from it. There isn't much "choosing sides" here, not much conservative drama, and I actually like that. The wedding feels much more real with the main problems being the grooms being nervous about it.
The art does the event enough justice, even though Mike Perkins isn't going to be a favorite of mine any time soon. The real gem here is Marco Djurdjevic's variant cover (posted above) which blows me away. The digital image doesn't do it justice - in real life the coloring is perfect and the artwork is just breathtaking.
All in all, Marvel's first gay wedding passes with flying colors. Can't wait to see what half-baked sensationalist rip-off DC will come up with...
That we are capable only of being what we are, remains our unforgivable sin.
- Gene Wolfe
Yay!!!!!!!! Off to the comic book store
Love love love love it!
What's everyone been reading? Thoughts on Avengers vs. X-Men?
I love Jean!
I like AVX but seriously too Avengers biased, yes I know the Phoenix Force took other hosts but it was Stark's flipping doing. I honestly think Cyclops is being honest, he's pigheadedness isn't allowing him to see what's happening. But seriously time for team Cyclops to get a bit of love and the Avengers some hate, the last time I saw any hate was in Legacy when they arrived at the school.
"Flipping Dykes I though they were a myth like Weapons of Mass Destruction" Grace Adler.
Just joined this site, and found this thread! I've been collecting comics for 20 years.
Pull List:
DC: Swamp Thing, Animal Man, JLD, Dial H for Hero, Green Arrow, Catwoman, Batman, Fables
Marvel: X-Men, Uncanny X-Men, Wolverine & The X-Men, Hawkeye, Ultimate X-Men, Journey into Mystery
Image: Glory
Dark Horse: The Massive, Ghost
Favorite Author(s): Alan Moore, Brian Woods, & Joe Casey
I am really enjoying the AvsX, and am actually xcited to see where it all ends up - who is it that dies? My guess is going to be Xavier. It plays into what Marvel has planned for NOW and it seems like the only end result for his character's arc: eventually the teacher must step aside, and Xavier would never do that unless his character was completely taken off the board.
One thing I like about AVX is that it is still showing the split in the X Camp, we see Storm doing what she was meant to do by staying with Cyclops in Utopia, pulling him back when needed.
"Flipping Dykes I though they were a myth like Weapons of Mass Destruction" Grace Adler.
There isn't a new volume. It was supposed to be an 8 issue miniseries, then the first couple of issues sold so well that Marvel said it was going to be an ongoing series. Then they backed off that and canceled it after the original 8 issues.
I've been enjoying the miniseries so far.
Apparently Havok is going to be leading the Uncanny Avengers. Does this mean Cap and Iron Man are going to be taking orders from Alex?
Well he'll be team leader of that mixed team and if they are memebers then I suppose yes.

this thread is a little dead, but just taking a shot in the dark... does anyone use any software/cellphone apps for managing their comic collections?
I'd kill for something that could automatically notify me each week of which issues are going on sale so I know when to go to the store, and keep track of which issues I already have so I can avoid buying duplicates.
I don't know of software that tells you this weeks releases - although there are websites that list them.
If you are looking to catalog your collection check out http://www.collectorz.com/comic/
I don't use the comic software as my collection is mostly boxed up waiting the day I have time to deal with it - but their software for CD's / DVD's and Books works great.
Yeah, I can second the recommendation for the team at collectorz.com. A nice product. Like you, I too use their book cataloging software regularly - great for managing my collection, I like the way you can add an item just based on UPC/barcode entering - and in the past, the music cataloging software.
Finally caught up on Avengers vs X-Men. Wow. Cyclopes arrested--and happy that the no more mutants curse has been broken. The other four former Phoenixes in hiding. Xaiver dead. Where do we go from here? I really enjoyed this story and look forward to what comes next.
So the next X-Men movie is going to be based on the Days Of The Future Past story. I'm a huge Rogue fan, do you think they'll bring her back to the big screen? And if that's the case, would Anna Paquin return? I wouldn't be opposed to recasting her, I think she doesn't look the part at all...but knowing Bryan Singer he won't, he'll probably use her if she's available.
Just wanted to say this. I do not know if you have read let alone heard of this comic. However I ask of you guys please give the comic X-Treme X-Men a shot or a look at least. I cannot guarantee you it will be your cup of tea, but I personally enjoy it. I only say this because sells are low and I would hate to see such a unique comic go away.
Eternal youth and endless life. I'll sacrifice everything and everyone to obtain it
I did give X-Treme X-Men a shot, but it just wasn't my cup of tea. I think there are just too many X-books right now for me to keep track of everything and the multiple universes/Xaivers was just adding to confusion. With that being said, here are my current thoughts on the rest of the books:
All-New X-Men--so far, I'm loving it. I have to admit that when I heard they were bringing the original X-Men from the past, I was skeptical, but I'm interested to see where they're going with it. I'm also enjoying Cyclopes and Magneto and their little band of outlaws.
X-Men--the last two issues focused solely on Domino and Daredevil. I'm not a huge fan of either, so I'm hoping next month will be better.
Astonishing X-Men--Still loving the relationship between Northstar and Kyle and the last couple of issues have really added to Warbird's character.
X-Men Legacy--This book has been a total cluster since the reboot. I'm not sure even Legion can understand what is going on in his head. I'm hoping this book takes a different turn and is not just all about Legion.
Uncanny X-Force--The book had a decent run. Now I'm interested to see the next series. I'm also excited to see a Marvel book that doesn't include Wolverine for a change. Seriously, the guy is in everything. He's not THAT great.
X-Factor--bit of a different book and seems they stretch the storylines out quite often, but I'll keep reading.
X-Factor is always a great read. But I don't know what's going to happen in the coming months as the writer Peter David suffered a stroke last week.
hey guys. i just want to list some of my favourite comic moments from (relatively) recent memory. theres going to be a lot of x-stuff, because thats mainly what i read.
chamber gives a class about "coping with physical changes." what beautiful little scene. from x-men legacy.
rogue, living every furries dream. also from x-men legacy.
a young jean grey, schoolin' wolverine. from all-new x-men
I enjoyed the new Uncanny X-Force, but I must have missed a few things (even though I subscribe to all the X books).
1. When did Storm go back to the mohawk?
2. When did Storm become head mistress of the Jean Grey School? I know Kitty has taken charge of looking out for the time displaced original X-Men and that was going to take up a lot of her time, but I missed where Storm got the job.
The Kindle offers some like you suggested through Amazon's app store:
The thing that worries me about this is how much of a data plan will be used up listing info on zillions of comic's you're not interested in (and pix of the covers) ???
Am I the only one who really hates Rise of the Third Army Crossover. I mean I picked up Green Lantern after the reboot based on Sinestro Corps War and Blackest Night. But this has been utter crap apart from Simon Baz and Hal and Sinestro's whereabouts I haven't really liked the storyline of this army nothing is really happening, no battles no moments of despair etc. Really may drop the books I have if this First Lantern crossover/event is as flat as the last one.
Also Astonishing X Men needs life injected into at the moment its just blah.

While Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise may well be the most high-profile divorcing couple to disagree over religion, they are certainly not alone. The religion they were respectively fighting for and against, Scientology, is not considered mainstream and is, in fact, highly controversial.
The questions that many have about that particular religion may have helped Ms. Holmes, who appears to have saved her daughter from it by negotiating a sole custody agreement. Some of the less appealing aspects of Scientology are that it reportedly separates parents from children and formally "shuns" non-believers. It is those very practices that might lead a court to lose sympathy and allow a court to rule for the non-Scientology parent based, not on religious grounds, but to spare a child from parental alienation.
While none of us will ever know all the facts and factors that caused it, the children adopted by Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman appear to have ended up mostly with him. It seems that Katie Holmes, like most of us, assumed Scientology was at least one of the factors and strategized successfully to not have that happen to her family.
Separation of Church and State
Except in cases where a belief system might arguably endanger a parent child relationship or the child itself, courts attempt to be "religion neutral" and to simply follow the religious behaviors and patterns of the family that existed prior to a divorce. Therefore, if one parent always took the child to any mainstream church and the other did not, they will each be free to do whatever they want with that child on his or her own weekend.
If they had battling churches or religions, however, then the courtroom drama can escalate and we have seen those often enough in Illinois. Baptisms versus Bar Mitzvahs and which religious school should children attend pose tough questions when deeply held fundamental religious differences are at stake. The ironic thing is that during a break-up, each parent tends to become more religious and more invested in his or her own faith than ever they were when they were together, but then again that is the nature of divorce.
What the courts struggle with in those cases is the fact they are not there to "establish" any religion, and therefore again the judges will try to mirror to the extent possible whatever compromises and religious practices the parents had engaged in prior to the irreconcilable breakdown of the marriage.
If they celebrated and honored both sets of religious holidays, the holidays will probably be allocated along religious lines to each of them to observe his or her own faith with the children. If one or the other parent had pledged or contracted or otherwise agreed to raise the child or children in a certain religion, they will hopefully continue to honor that agreement, especially if the children are already established in those practices, but the court will not order it. Courts will not punish parents who do not believe in God, nor will they "advance" religion generally, or any specific religion.
Two Principles
As a family law attorney, I have long observed two principles: first of all, each parent tends to believe that his or her religion is the true one and that "if God is on my side, how can I be wrong?"; secondly, the parents, lawyers and the courts all must be very careful in these cases, or else in the name of love and the name of God, children's lives can be torn apart.
Avoiding a scorched-earth kind of religious war seems to have been one of the significant goals in the quick Tom-Kat settlement. They apparently decided that religion is such a personal decision that it was better to compromise privately than to battle publicly.
Their joint statement regarding their desire "to keep matters affecting our family private and express our respect for each other's commitment to each of our respective beliefs…" could become the inspiration for so many other couples struggling over spiritual differences in a divorce.
They have demonstrated, even for a high-profile couple with extremely divergent religious beliefs, it is possible to avoid a religious war for the sake of a child.

Meet the new boss, much cooler than the old boss
CUBBIES September 14th, 2009
Welcome to the NEW and IMPROVED Miller Park Drunk. I'm Chad and I am the new boss (and yes that is me bombin' two Old Styles at once,WHAT). Your prolly thinking "why is this dude in a Cubs jersey who can drink two Old Styles at a time and is obviously a pimp buying a site called Miller Park Drunk? Well, if there is one thing I have learned in my life it's that you don't have to like the Brewers to get drunk at Miller Park! Heck, you don't even have to like baseball! In the history of Miller Park the best drunks have ALWAYS come from Chi-town.
For real though, I been reading this website for awhile and thought it was pretty frickin' funny. I just knew that I could make it better. How? By making it about the Cubs, DUH!!!! So I took some money out of my trust fund and gave that idiot who was running it an offer he couldn't refuse (fifty bucks, a 12 pack of Milwaukee's Best and the issue of Playboy with Sable from WWF.) You Wisconsin folk are so simple.
Things are gonna be a bit different around here now. First order of business is to make up for all the dumb stuff this idiot said before. Like who doesn't like a good retro jersey? My prized possession is my autographed Sosa jersey. I'm not supposed to wear that just because he's not on the team anymore? BITE ME MILLER PARK DRUNK! Did Paul Moliter ever hit 60 homers in a season? Didn't think so! How about Robin Yount? No? I CAN'T HEAR YOU!
Anyways that's enough for the day I gotta head down to the Cubby Bear for a little pregame before the Cubs WHOOP some Brewers ASS tonight. That's right, Ryan Braun does my taxes. I'll be the dude in the autographed Sosa jersey sipping on Old Style. If you see me come say whats up and maybe I'll give you a little tug off my flask. Jack Daniels? YOU DAMN RIGHT JACK DANIELS.
Tomorrow we should have some more awesome, way better than before stuff including a VERY SPECIAL GUEST WRITER who I think kicks total ass and more stuff that kicks ass. Have fun watching the game tonight, I know I will.
PREDICTION: Cubs 17 Brewers 1. Theriot hits for the cycle.

Nate Berkus' Study
Other homeowners might have ripped out the old and brought in the new, but when it came to putting his stamp on a Chicago apartment with a glamorous past, interior designer Nate Berkus let history lead the way.
Here, a game board is displayed against the office's original silver-leafed wall covering.

When the weekend rolls around, award-winning accessories designers Richard Lambertson and John Truex leave Seventh Avenue behind for their handsome house in the pastoral Berkshires.
The dining room chandelier is French, as is the linen tablecloth, and the 1950s chairs are covered in Kravet's Raffia Grass; the '30s side chair was a gift from Geoffrey Beene.

Sarah Jessica Parker's Dining Room
Cynthia Rowley's Living Room
The fashion designer's love of shiny surfaces and do-it-yourself touches gives her family's Greek Revival townhouse madcap character.
Rowley's living room features a hay-bale bench by Gaston Marticorena, horseshoe cocktail table, and vintage Italian light fixture. The plastic-lined, inoperable baby grand piano serves as an ice bucket, and an Elizabeth Peyton portrait of Pete Doherty hangs above a self-portrait by Rowley's grandmother; a mixed-media work by Ryan McGinness is displayed atop the marble mantel.
