I'd imagine only butt-hurt contrariants would vote 'no'.
I thought he had some good ideas, Morrison was definitely trying to push the idea of X-Men and the concept of mutants forward. His outline proposal for the series which was printed in E for Extinction really shows the thought he put into it. "Mutants are like the next generation, the rebellious teens representing change, while humanity are the older adults, still clinging on to the past." Or something like that he wrote, I believe. There were some great ideas here, I liked the new costumes, the idea of mutants being their own culture, Xorn, the silent issue was fantastic.
But the execution left me kinda mixed. The plots felt kinda off and weird at points. I loved it when Quitely was on the series, but some of the art here is just terrible. Van Sciver's didn't seem to fit the story, and Igor Kordey's work here remains the worst art I've ever seen in a comic. Didn't care for Morrison's Cyclops either.
It definitely brought the X-Men into a new era. John Sublime, Fantomex, Cassandra Nova,finally revealing Wolverines past, pairing Cyclops and Emma. At the same time it kind of felt like it was a "what if" kind of book. It was one of the best runs of the X-Mens entire existence, but just like anything else...its not perfect. I could list several directions he took it that I didn't care for.
Overall though, its good.
I'd imagine only butt-hurt contrariants would vote 'no'.
Hurricane, from you I expect better than this. That isn't funny, it's just weak to cast such aspirations on dissenting opinions from your own. You know I despise Morrison and his vapid, trite stories and additionally you also know why. So thanks for that and for your edification it is "contrarians".
Agreed. Overall good.
• his destruction of Genosha
• insulting portrayal of one of the wealthiest worldwide organizations(the Hellfire Club) as simply a strip club •misinterpretation of Sebastian Shaw as a low level telepath
• the cat-like appearance of Beast
• Magneto reduced to one dimensional villain
• outing the mutant school
• the more realistic costumes
• excellent use of Emma
• break up of Scott and Jean
• best depiction of Xavier in years
• new characters with longevity & bite
Missed oppoortunities
• Jean should have lived & overcome Phoenix, a mutant accomplishing that feat would scare the universe!
• Jean/Logan forming their own branch of school, imagine them raising the worry of mutants going dark and powerful. Plus, Jean moving on would truly test Scott
• Magneto vs Cassandra Nova
• rebuilding Genosha stronger and more resilient
• Other countries responding with mutant programs
hated it. the art didnt help. new x-men was horrible.
For me it's more like I love the first half.. or more like the first third.. then it loses me, and by the end I'm not into it at all.
But I love the first few arcs introducing Cassandra Nova and Quire and that stuff, and it's pretty decent up until Xorn takes off his mask, then it just goes downhill really fast.
A lot of good and a bit of bad too... I don't think he did his research on the x-men before he got involved with Characters like Emma.
Overall, I liked his work.
I thought his Enma was fine. He gave her a more British air. And he brought her into the forefront of the X-men universe. Based on where she was at that point in her timeline-- what did Morrison miss?
Bitchy- checked
Cares for students-- checked
Lover is group leader-- checked
Complex-- checked
@thetimestreamer: Quitely was terrible. Hell "ole bee stings" was so slow at producing art they had to get that Igor Kordey guy who wasnt much better. I think Frank is actually SLOWER than Joe Mad and that is saying something.
@sinisteri: The accent, I hate that about her. She is from the suburbs of Boston, she is not even remotely British. The american revolution started in Boston yet she is contrary enough to have a faux accent to a place she didn't spend much time at. Makes no damned sense. She didn't really have one before Morrison, it just seems like he is forcibly entering a vapid European influence with no real reason for it.

'Trite'? I thought New X-Men would've been the opposite of trite.
It was good. Very good in fact. Morrison's New X-Men is single handedly responsible for renewing my interest in the franchise. Probably my favorite single X-Men run of all time and I've read quite a few.
You either love it, or you're an idiot. Simple as that.
The best X-Men run ever, and the only one that actually captured what Lee and Kirby had in mind with the franchise.
i only liked morrisons work on the invisibles other than that his batman was only ok and he changed the x universe a lot in a ton of negitive ways i.e zorn or nightcrawler being a demon
Sigh, that wasn't Morrison, that was Austen. Nice to know the people voting know what they're talking about (rolls eyes)

have not read it. but i've read his other stuff, so i'd probably like it. still voted good because Grant is awesome.
You either love it, or you're an idiot. Simple as that.
Planet X is the only decent and relevant stuff done with Magneto since the 80s, so naturally Marvel instantly retconned it.
Its a shame i dont have average on the thing, and i would assume you are talking about his run of New X-men right? I like what he did with Jean, and few confrontation with Emma, one where Emma liternally starts crying because she is stark helpless against Jean TP was pretty awesome.
The story are at times slow, i did not really enjoy Here Comes Tomorrow either. Few bits were very ordinary. Jean was very under-used.
I would personally are it something like 3/ 5.
IMHO it was great... to set everything for Whedon run!! He put there all the ingredients and then Josh made the real deal.
As others said the art from most the first half of his run was awful. The worst part was when Emma was going to start treating Scott with his problem and she has a scene telling him "aunt Emma" would help him that was supposed to be her sexiest pose ever and... the result was horrible, I think it was Quitely? I don't remember right now but there were several awful artists. During the end Bachalo and others raised the level, but the start was awful artistically.
That he made Scott and Jean's relationship end was great (Jean was a terrible wife, always limiting Scott's character, even Maddy was better... and btw Jean was the first one to cheat, and physically) but that Scott and Emma started their relationship (my favorite couple ever in comics) was greater! Some of his villians were very important, like Cassandra and Sublime (currently used in the all female X-Men with added lore to his past). One of the awful things was all the weird stuff with Magneto being Xorn, and then Marvel reconecting it to it being Xorn believing he was Magneto... something about the Physical properties of Xorn and how he displayed powers Magneto can't, but then he having Magneto's face instead of his own face didn't make any sense. He set the precedent for Decimation too.
He also made Weapon Plus evolve a huge lot with his introduction of multiple weapons (including Fantomex and the Cuckoos). Thanks to that evolution it has been explored in multiple arcs after that. And I'm not sure but I think it was him who made the Captain America conection to the programm.
So TLDR: Good run to set precedents to what happened after that, specially for Josh Whedon's run which was great. The art was awful at the beginning and there were some bits hardly explicable.
Indeed, it's the cinematography of Quietly's art that made Morrison's tenure all the more magical.
@veshark: Trite parts you say? How about attaching phoenix to Jean, how about killing her as phoenix (again)?
"You either love it, or you're an idiot. Simple as that.", huh? Sounds more like if you're not a Morrison zealot then you don't fit into the clique. I can live with that.
it was good, it was entertaining but it simply wasn't the ground breaking, end all, better then everything run most people seem to make it out to be
at the same time it wasn't the WORST RUN EVER like a few others seem to say, it was good but not claremont i preferred wheldon's follow up alot more and the art was meh
So I guess all that stuff about mutant culture beyond superheroes, memorable new characters (Cassandra Nova, Quentin Quire, Xorn, Fantomex), Weapon Plus, secondary mutations, the E-Gene, and the Institute for the first time being a legitimate school with a large student body, were all so terribly generic and unoriginal.
That's a weak argument. Try harder.
Morrison left a real mark and a garden of ideas/concepts other writers have & are still harvesting.
•Outing and evolving the school
•Mutant class that was more diverse than ever
•Putting Emma in a power position. Claremont had always wanted her to play a larger role in X-men with her love of teaching and pushing students to potential
•exploring this current generation of young mutants trying to take over
•Exploring mutant powers and toying with further natural mutations
Hate it or love it, the fruit born from his ideas took X-men beyond the 90s of Styfe, Sinister, Apocalypse, Mojo, marauders, and stories only centered on Wolvie, jean/Scott bloodline, and Sabertooth. All great, but overplayed and too many visits to the well with nothing new at that point.
I liked it but I did not think it was great.
Morrison's and Whedon's runs were the last times I was genuinely interested in the X-Universe as a whole. All-New X-Men and Brian Wood's X-Men title are the first to ever draw me back in but that's not saying much.
@john_valentine: Basically I liked Uncanny V1 1-66 then 94 to 280, X-Factor V1 1-64, New Mutants (Overall pretty much all of them), Wolverine and Kitty Pryde, Wolverine LS (The Miller one), Most of X-Men Unlimited, X-Men V1 (various), All of the original AoA books, X-23, Ultimate X-Men (prior to ultimatum), X-Men 2099, Adventures of Cyke and Jean (both), Uncanny X-Force, X-force S&V LS, The first years of Excalibur (V1), X-Men alpha Flight LS, ANXM and the New Uncanny to name a few but there is far more. Does the John Byrne run in Alpha Flight count? And the Alan Davis run in Captain Britain...
So I guess all that stuff about mutant culture beyond superheroes, memorable new characters (Cassandra Nova, Quentin Quire, Xorn, Fantomex), Weapon Plus, secondary mutations, the E-Gene, and the Institute for the first time being a legitimate school with a large student body, were all so terribly generic and unoriginal.
That's a weak argument. Try harder.
What I liked was that the X-Men weren't just a superhero team but a unofficial volunteer mutant emergency and rescue team.
@jonny_anonymous: I've always interpreted the X-Men's mission to be that of mission to help humans in trouble to show them that mutants are not the enemy but people who can help them. They lead by example instead of just training mutants like some kind of informal military base. Of course mutants vs rogue mutants to save humans were the best example of this. Like the original X-Factor premise of being mutant "hunters" was a really good idea to serve this purpose. Of course it showed the quality of the characters to object to it and show that the mutants were actually reigning in the mutants was a big human PR boost, they even got a parade. We wont see that type of progress again sadly. Or baseball games.
@veshark: Need the ":" if you want me to see your reply, be respectful and I'll even retort. However I will skip to the chase this time since I don't think we have spoken before. Nice to meet you.
Being a large legitimate school in their world is like painting a target on the back and head of every child in their care. Had Xavier thought about this (ie be written correctly in character) he would NEVER place a student in harm's way. With as many times as that Mansion has blown up I genuinely surprised Graymalkin lane has not been renamed Death Row or been made a disaster zone on federal funding. So dumb ideas are abound here the institute. On a personal note it just sounded better to say Charles Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters it had a kind of timeless quality and charm that the clinical Xavier Institute could not replicate. But that is off the subject as the Xavier Institute was by another writer not Morrison, ugh Lobdell. Yea THAT one is just as bad. Digressing to remain on topic.
I'm going to skip the characters things, it is just irrelevant based on the principle if Liefeld can create Domino and Deadpool, then the sun can even shine on a dog's ass. Next...
E-Gene is just a trash plot vehicle. Will this actually really ever act out and extinguish humanity? No, no it wouldn't for the same reason I am likely to never read about actual human and mutant social integration in the X-Titles. It wouldn't sell to wipe out humanity. Secondary mutations...aptly named because all they really do is add further fuel that Mutants are too far removed from humans to truly ever co-exist. Poor Hank has suffered for that damned plot device for far too long it just replays the events during his pre-avengers years and his post x-factor years over and over with different characters. They should just rewrite Amazing Adventures #11 and put all the mutants in there. Trash plot vehicles and trash characters are the stock in trade in the early 00's. Sadly most newer readers will not even know I just made a X-Men in-reference there...
No point talking about weapon (insert whatever word here) Morrison joined the ranks of Claremont, Liefeld, Windsor-Smith, Hama and half of the winos in Manhattan trying to explain away more crap about wolverine's past. Wolverine was far more interesting when I didn't know much about him. Then there is Jean, the phoenix and her actually dying this time, bet that made him happy to be one that ACTUALLY killed the real Jean Grey. Technically even Claremont did even do that. Bragging rights at the hash bar to be certain. The point is in some facet or the other it all has been done before (better) and should have never occurred again because it really didn't add any real content. It just comes off like trashing the hotel before you leave or some ego trip to bash the previous writers work.
Lastly for as much as I love Cyclops he dominated that book. It should been more accurately named like New Scott-Summers-(who is out of character)-featuring-some-other-mutants instead of New X-Men. X-Men is a team book not Scott Summers and whatever characters he is trying to quicken at that time book. It always stuck me as stories about other characters that were adapted to be an X-Men plot.
Unrelated Note: I really liked your sketches, Veshark, but if I could offer some advice as a fellow artist, I could not tell your lighting source on your Captain Bucky, but your steve cap had excellent lighting so great job on that. Having a good sense of light in the room (or place) can suspend or release a person's sense of disbelief in a piece of art. Works for me! Anyway, Great job overall, I look forward to your other art postings.
I just finished reading his run and it was the first X-Men books i have ever read.
I thought it was absolutely brilliant. I followed it up with Whedon's Astonishing run which was brilliant too.
These have got me interested in picking up other X-Men books
I don't know what that colon means, if you're referring to me tagging you in my reply, I did. If you were offended at my initial snark, I apologize. Nice to meet you too.
I'm just gonna cut right to the chase: whatever your problems with the ideas, the validity and merit of Morrison's concepts are not being brought into question here. It's whether or not they brought something new to the table. Your claim was that Morrison's stories were 'trite', to define: 'overused' and 'lacking originality'. I listed all of the new ideas that he brought to the X-Men mythos, many of which are still in use today and have had an overall lasting affect on the franchise. He really did put the 'New' in 'New X-Men', and if this is your idea of 'trite', I'm genuinely curious as to what you consider to be new and original.
Just for the sake of argument, I'm going to address your opinions with my own feedback. For the issue of the school's public revelation putting the children in danger, bear in mind that this is post-Genosha. As in mutants have just suffered a tremendous blow to their population. And as a result, the school revealing its existence, is the next step to improving mutant-human relations during this time. I.e. not hiding in the shadows, but being open enough to allow the media in and opening X-Corp offices for mutant refugees. This is the whole point of the New X-Men run: progress - and Professor X himself notes that trust is what creates acceptance, and that hiding away was playing by 'human rules', not mutant ones. As for the characters, we're not talking about 'Forearm' here. We're talking about Quentin Quire and Fantomex, characters that you still see frequenting the X-franchise today and whom many readers do recognize. When was the last time a memorable X-character was created in a run? Anyone still remember Armor? How about Ord of the Breakworld?
If your complaint about the E-Gene is because we never see mutants becoming the dominant species (an unrealistic wish, on that note), put the blame on Bendis - who instituted House of M, thereby eliminating Morrison's idea. Within the context of New X-Men itself, the E-Gene does serve its purpose, being the whole reason for the Genoshan genocide as well as pushing the school to open their doors and embrace mutant culture (see the Testament issue). Secondary mutations give an added explanation to Beast's condition and for other mutants to develop new powers, not to mention giving us Emma Frost's iconic diamond skin. As for 'secondary mutations causing the mutant-human rift to be further apart', you're missing the whole point of Morrison's run. His run was filled with grotesque mutants (see: Special Class), but that was the lesson he was trying to illustrate: that no matter how different, peaceful coexistence was an option beyond the superficial physical changes.
As for Weapon Plus, Wolverine's past was just a small fragment of the idea that Morrison expanded upon, an entire program developed to creating super-soldiers. He also tied Captain America to the concept, and both Fantomex and the Stepford Cuckoos are a result of it. It wasn't a simple retelling, he was building on Wolverine's origin and changing it into something bigger. I don't understand what your beef with Morrison having Phoenix Jean die is. Is it because the idea has been used before? Or is it because you see it as some personal petty move on Morrison's part? I view it as being Scott moving on from the old to the new (his relationship with Emma), a running theme in the entire run.
And we can't have been reading the same run. You're telling me that Cyclops dominated the book? The only arc where he had the most page-time was the Weapon Plus arc, perhaps. If you want a main character for the run, try Professor X or Jean, both of whom have far more appearances than Cyclops. Scott was in it as much as Hank or Logan, and the story did feel like a team book.
You have also yet to address your feelings regarding the run exploring 'mutant culture'. One of the most fascinating aspects I thought was of Morrison going beyond 'superheroes' and truly exploring the idea of mutants as a subculture. Cyclops said that they were dressed as heroes because Professor X thought humans would fear them less if they looked like a concept they understood. There are references to mutant bands, mutant fashion designers, mutant drugs; Jean's speech especially makes note that they are offering the world not just superheroes, but also mutant artists and thinkers. Mutants are considered to be the 'cool minority', with even ordinary teenagers being attracted to them. I thought it was a great, original way, to expand the franchise by looking at the entire concept of 'mutants' on the whole, not just heroes vs villains.
If I can be frank, if this is your argument as to why you consider Morrison's run 'trite', most of your complaints come across as surface-deep. Any attempts to expand upon ideas in the mythos you seem to consider 'unoriginal', and any new ideas are just readily dismissed without even considering their context.
As for my drawings, I appreciate you looking into them, and the advice as well. I'll keep the lighting in mind for my next posting.
@veshark: Oh that's quite alright, Veshark. Contiuning, your reply to me, I never saw it. I can only assume the syntax was wrong for the system to send me a notification. I did note that a colon was missing or perhaps it was just a hiccup in the system itself. Either way had not another person replied to me I would have never been able to retort.
So let's begin,I notice that you seem to keep seeing only the trite statement. That was only part of my initial retort to Hurricane.
So Vapid and Trite if you please veshark. Some things were trite like killing Jean as it is unoriginal, and unimaginative. Some things were vapid as in unstimulating and tasteless such as trash plot lines and characters. Those are just the base examples.
To start, I hold my stance on the characters, so let's move on to mutant relations. You realize that apparently NO ONE knew chuck was doing that. He unilaterally decided to out the school. This was a poor editorial decision as in the "in-universe" relations were NOT stable enough to merit putting an address to mindless hate crimes. Chuck, of all people, would have known this and they deployed it anyway because real world office politics not in-universe ideas. His speech was baseless justification and would NEVER go over in real world politics. The only thing that would have happened would suicide zealots blowing themselves up at gate or something equally horrific.
Retconning Morrison is not a Bendis exclusive and mutant culture? That is cool and everything but sensationalism like it was posed seemed to create more segregation. Mutants are not the punk movement. They don't need to fit into Grant's little counter culture microcosm. They need to be accepted by humanity as their own not an aberration or unintended affront to natural genetics. I personally remember the Xavier dream to be acceptance and integration.
I don't really care too much the physical appearance thing, grotesque, beautiful, homely I don't really care much in any direction. The point that I'm trying to make by opening the doors to constant mutation is a pandora's box it enables future writers to create horrific ends to characters that they don't necessarily like. Real world office politics will use that for their own ends thus it is a bad idea. Bands, fashion designers, and drugs tailored to Mutants? What's wrong with warren doing rainbows of coke of an exotic hookers back? Is he too good for blow? Heroin doesn't do it for him? What if wolvie likes him some 420? I guess Warpath can't listen to Porno For Pyros anymore huh? Not on the approved mutant listening playlist. All of that is largely irrelevant, their are real world equivalents to actual music that would solidify its ability to suspend my disbelief and not just be niche and against the actual goal. I would rather see Dazzler make a comeback into mainstream pop as a storyline than a vapid mutant band playing for its own kind only. It just screams mutants only club. BTW as far as the "cool minority" goes it was a trend during the books, what happens to trends when they fall from favor with mindless masses? Oh yea they become hated. They really need that, to be out of vogue.
By the Scott thing I was largely referring to its still in continuity legacy on the "X" universe as most of the (lasting) changes all seem to hang around Scott neck like a pair of white latex boots. Oh wait. The Captain America thing, sigh, tying wolverine and cap together doesnt really do much for either character besides screwing up classic continuity even worse that some other writers I could mention over the past few years...digressing. Morrison offered me nothing new and/or interesting. Thus his work was trite and vapid.
Unrelated note: I look forward to your new pics! oh, some times when I have a difficult or multi directional lighting source to remind me I draw (a) tiny circle(s) where the source direction is. I hope that helps you.
Yeah, the site's notifications system is new and still needs some work. I've been missing notifs or getting late ones all week. Give it time to work out the kinks.
Now, I just want to note that the only issue I had with your comment to Hurricane was your defining of Morrison's stories as 'trite', and you later confirmed that your comment did apply to New X-Men. It came across as the strangest adjective to describe his run, considering how innovative and how many new ideas the actual run itself had. I took no issue with 'vapid' because it not 'offering any stimulation or challenge' seemed more like an issue of personal opinion than anything. I'm not clinging to the 'trite' aspect of your statement solely to be argumentative, I'm saying I feel like it's a genuinely inaccurate label.
But for the sake of argument, I did address your points with my own responses. These were unrelated to your defining of the run as 'trite', but more of general discussion and - as I put it - my own feedback. Moving on to mutant relations, my point was that Xavier himself realized that it was no longer the right time to hide in the shadows post-Genosha, but to open their doors. This works because 1) by revealing their public existence, they have created trust with ordinary humans via transparency, as seen in the issue where the media visits the school and 2) they have made themselves an open school to accept all mutants who are probably terrified as a result of the Genoshan genocide. And to my knowledge, the outing created no more trouble save for some protestors. You cannot entirely apply 'real-world politics' to a fictional universe. Now, I just want to note that this is how I see it. You might still disagree, but bear in mind that the only reason why I brought it up in the first place was not so much "This is a great and flawless story idea!" but more of "This is a new idea that Morrison brought to the table, so why 'trite'?"
I'm saying that the E-Gene did serve a purpose, and if your issue with it is that we never see mutants become the dominant basis, the blame would be better placed on House of M. That's it. As for mutant culture, to use a metaphor Morrison himself came up with, mutants represent the youth seeking change while humanity represents the adult sticking to the status quo and the familiar. And that is what mutants are a symbol of, that no matter how different you are, peaceful coexistence is still possible because at the end - both humans and mutants are from the same evolutionary tree. As Jean Grey puts it, "Humans vs mutants is like a thumb fighting a finger'. And mutants being their own subculture doesn't necessarily mean that they're divorced from mainstream society, or even that they can't be integrated. We see humans participating in the mutant subculture throughout the run (humans listening to mutant bands and wearing mutant fashion), and this fits with the running theme of assimilation. To use a real-life example, back in the 70s, hip-hop was still a predominantly black and urban-oriented genre. But its increasing popularity in the 80s to 90s led to its acceptance, and now we have Rap Grammys and people of all colors and nations sharing their common love of it. Even in the real-world, each subculture is allowed to grow on their own, but at the end of the day, they're still part of the larger social organism.
Your initial comment about secondary mutations seemed to imply that your issue with it was that continuous mutation would lead to a further rift between humans and mutants. But now your complaint is that it leads future writers to do bad things to characters they don't like? I'm sorry, but that complaint seems petty and a little out-there, how are these franchises ever going to grow or innovate if they're trapped with that sort of fearful mindset? I don't quite understand your rambling rant about mutants, but if I'm grasping the gist of it, refer to the above. Subcultures are allowed to blossom on their own, but they can still function within a larger society. And within the run, mutants were not a commercial 'trend' or 'fad', they were a booming society that were increasing in numbers and had the eye of pop culture. Your comment that their popularity will only lead to downfall seems to miss the entire point about the idea - not just that mutants are 'the current cool', but that Morrison's run really tried to explore other aspects of mutantdom beyond tights and battles. That superheroes were only a small aspect of the mutant concept, and that it was applicable in other circles.
I don't understand your comment about Scott at all, it has no relation to your earlier claim that he - and I quote - 'dominated the book'. That just seems to be a baseless claim. As for linking Cap and Wolverine, again, those two heroes were only a small focus of the Weapon Plus idea, and it did spawn several memorable characters as well as bringing a deeper layer to the original idea. Again, you seem very dismissive of any new concepts that Morrison tried to do in this run. Now, if you would have said that you found that these changes didn't agree with you, I wouldn't give two hoots because you're entitled to your opinion and inclinations. But to say that his storyline and ideas brought nothing new to the table is a negligent assertion.
Mm, thanks for the tip, I'll keep that one in mind. I'm actually working on a comic page of Cap vs. Wolverine on a rooftop (which features a sun), so that'll come in useful.
@veshark: Rambling is a harsh term, Veshark. Perhaps I do have too much information for my fingers to adequately display in text, however I stand by both statements in and out of universe for secondary mutations and Scott. Sorry I didn't redress the entire statement(s) to be inclusive to both new and old information. That much was my bad.
However; elements in Morrison's run are trite and vapid. I stand by that. I use both words at differing points in his run and they are accurate in describing the run as a whole. I think however we are inadvertently coming to a point of a political argument on the best course of action for the future of humans and mutants, to which I am not going to budge. It was folly for Xavier to that and it hurt the long term in universe and overall story line to enact it, but most of it has been retconned out, so perhaps
Also I sure that there are better examples to use to convince me than the urban hip hop movement metaphors for rebelling against adults by young people. That doesn't do it for me as these people are not joined by culture nor location or for the most part upbringing long enough to actually form a real viable (sub)culture. Don't buy that at all. Tights and battles were a part to be sure but all that mutants bands, fashion, chewing gum is valueless fluff.
Anyway let's change gears for a minute. What is your experience in reading comics? What I mean by that is what elements are necessary for you to enjoy a comic (any comic)?
Note: Awesome! Keep me in the loop especially should you attempt any lantern pics.
It is by far my favorite X-Men story. It's such a departure from the regular book, which at that time had become very stale and boring.

I beleive taht the real issue is that they have a fetish with the AK. So what, a great gun. It has one purpose. be reliable, and shoot fast. Using it as a platform for other weapons doesn't really make sense. If they wanted to do something original in the long range field they should have started with a round, and added that into a platform and compared it to a standard such as the marines use. But it is pop tv. They are entertainers making things look fancier than they really are. I bet gun smiths are shaking their head; the same as i do when i watch ax men(They give loggers a bad rep).
you bring up a good point about not watching the show. I dislike the vast majority of what they do on the show because they are trying to cover too many bases as not to offend either AR shooters or AK shooters. I think that what they do pretty rediculous and pointless. However, it is kind of entertaining and pretty humorous as well. but the humor is being turned from laugh with us to laugh at us and they don't seem to realize this. also shooting could do with a show that lifts the image of shooters and gun collectors not just a joke program that is used as a piss take of the rednecks in the car park blasting rockets over commercial properties!! i mean for the sake of Christ what gun is a boat mounted cannon! last point could the daughter get her teeth fixed? and get her father to dress in clothes that would not look like he slept in them.
I know im way late on this topic,but this show is all comedy to me and this guy trys his best to take credit for everybodys projects
Combat Corespondent
Don't worry anyone. With Vince out of the show there's a chance they get cancelled. He was the ffl holder because the fatso and bucktooth can't get a license, apparently they "loose" some guns and BATF revoked their licenses a couple years ago. He was even sued by some guy who made some work for them , he paid the guy with some company shares and then broke the company and started a new one with a similar name. Now there's some drama!!!
I'll preface this with, "I am from Louisiana," (and still live here) I find it ridiculously amusing that the lot of you are so upset by this show. First off...as protectors of the 2nd Amendment, you should also be cognicent of the First Amendment. (That which grants the rights of free speech). To my point...Discovery can put whatever garbage they seem fit on the airwaves...and as granted by the constitution. This isn't a show to get technical about...like counting 24 shots ring out of an MCP before a mag change. The daughter is ugly as hell and seems to act like a jackass...but be thankful that they're attempting to promote the 2nd Amend. to the non-shooter. Lastly..Louisiana affords tv and film networks HUGE tax credits if they shoot here. This shop is 10 miles away from nowhere and owner had a chance to take this TV deal in exchange for money to afford him a little more of the American dream...if you say you wouldn't take that extra slice of the AmericanTaurus Millennium Pro 111 9 mm Pistol dream, just because someone wanted to showcase your backwoods gun shop? Change the channel!
What happend to the other show I forgot the name of it,he gave a guy 10k and a Rolex for a Luger that belonged to Howard Hughes.

Cortland Firefighter Camp Teaches Kids About Fire Service
Thursday, July 31, 2014
Over 100 Cortland area youth got a chance Wednesday to learn what it means to be a firefighter. The Cortland City Fire Department in conjunction with the Professional Firefighters Association and the City Youth Bureau held a Fire Fighter for a Day Camp.
The day camp at Suggett Park included fire escape planning, firefighter activities, obstacle courses, water ball, and other games.
Kids ages 5-14 were divided into groups and worked their way through multiple stations manned by City Career Firefighters and Volunteers.
At one station children donned actual firefighter hazmat suits and were tested to see how they would respond to a series of pipes leaking chemicals, the so called chemicals were just water.
At the Birch Building in the back of the park, rescuers filled the building with simulated smoke to give children the feel of what it would be like to have to get out of a smoke filled room, or what firefighters do to locate someone trapped inside a burning structure.
City Deputy Fire Chief Wayne Friedman says the the camp serves multiple purposes, it can spark a child's interest in a career in the fire service but it also helps familiarize children with firefighters, their equipment and rescue techniques to ease their fears. Friedman says it's a great way for the Department to be more visible in the community outside of an emergency.
Youngsters were also taken for rides in a real fire engine and lifted high above the park on the City's aerial platform ladder truck.
Firefighter Derek Reynolds who serves as the career staff union rep says this was the first year of the camp and unfortunately due to overwhelming response some children had to be turned away, he says next year the camp is planned to run two days to accommodate twice as many youth.
Several area business including Graph-Tex, Geared-2-Sports, Coffee-Mania, Walgreens, and multiple companies within the Fire Department provided funding for the camp.

Charming family log home on the east shore of Big Glen Lake. Our family has owned this cottage since our grandparents fell in love with Glen Lake, bought the property and built the cottage in 1939. Reminiscent of bygone days, while updated with modern conveniences. Cedar paneled walls and beamed ceilings create a warm and relaxed feeling. The kitchen has been remodeled to meet current chef standards and the dining room comfortably seats eight, unless you choose to eat outside at the picnic table.
There are three bedrooms on the first floor with a queen bed, double bed, and single bed, to accommodate the adults. The second floor is open and perfect for the children, with four single log-built beds, a queen bed, and a TV sitting area.
The outdoor stone fireplace is ideal for roasting marshmallows or an evening chat while sampling local wines. This private, picturesque setting boasts 200 feet of the finest sugar sand beach on Glen Lake. There are lots of toys for the kids to build sand castles and comfortable lawn furniture for the adults to read or sunbathe.
The dock provides additional access to the lake, as well as a large sunning area. A canoe and a 14 foot aluminum boat are provided for your enjoyment. Our lake front has a sandy bottom which gradually gets deep so it is safe for swimming, and it is the clearest water you'll find on any lake.
If you need a quiet place to get away from it all, head to the back of our property where you'll find a spring-fed stream and pond. There is a sunning deck over the pond with a bench where you can sit and contemplate life. Facing due west, we enjoy spectacular sunsets on the beach or from the cozy enclosed lake front porch. Some people have been known to spend the majority of their vacation on that porch.
Keywords: East Shore Big Glen Lake, sandy beach, waterfront log home, near Glen Arbor, Sleeping Bear Dunes, Lake Michigan, western Leelanau County, perfect for fishing, waterskiing, sailing, family vacations, private waterfront, 200 feet frontage, outstanding sunset views
This log home is owned by two brothers and a sister. Our grandparents had this cottage built in 1939 and we spent our summers growing up here as children. Two of us have lived here for most of our adult lives. We strive to maintain the cottage in the best possible condition, while preserving it's quaint heritage. Our children adore this cottage and help us maintain it to the best of our abilities. We choose to share it with a few select renters to help defray the costs.
Betsy Fisher purchased this cottage in 1939
This home has been owned by the same family since it was built in 1939.
This is the vacation home most people wish they could enjoy with their families. Memories are created here. Glen Lake speaks for itself as one of the world's most beautiful lakes and we have one of the most perfect locations at which to enjoy it.

New Century Version (NCV) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 Paul and Silas traveled through Amphipolis and Apollonia and came to Thessalonica where there was a Jewish synagogue. | 1 When they had passed through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where there was a Jewish synagogue. |
2 Paul went into the synagogue as he always did, and on each Sabbath day for three weeks, he talked with the Jews about the Scriptures. | 2 As his custom was, Paul went into the synagogue, and on three Sabbath days he reasoned with them from the Scriptures, |
3 He explained and proved that the Christ must die and then rise from the dead. He said, "This Jesus I am telling you about is the Christ." | 3 explaining and proving that the Christ had to suffer and rise from the dead. "This Jesus I am proclaiming to you is the Christ, " he said. |
4 Some of the Jews were convinced and joined Paul and Silas, along with many of the Greeks who worshiped God and many of the important women. | 4 Some of the Jews were persuaded and joined Paul and Silas, as did a large number of God-fearing Greeks and not a few prominent women. |
5 But the Jews became jealous. So they got some evil men from the marketplace, formed a mob, and started a riot. They ran to Jason's house, looking for Paul and Silas, wanting to bring them out to the people. | 5 But the Jews were jealous; so they rounded up some bad characters from the marketplace, formed a mob and started a riot in the city. They rushed to Jason's house in search of Paul and Silas in order to bring them out to the crowd. |
6 But when they did not find them, they dragged Jason and some other believers to the leaders of the city. The people were yelling, "These people have made trouble everywhere in the world, and now they have come here too! | 6 But when they did not find them, they dragged Jason and some other brothers before the city officials, shouting: "These men who have caused trouble all over the world have now come here, |
7 Jason is keeping them in his house. All of them do things against the laws of Caesar, saying there is another king, called Jesus." | 7 and Jason has welcomed them into his house. They are all defying Caesar's decrees, saying that there is another king, one called Jesus." |
8 When the people and the leaders of the city heard these things, they became very upset. | 8 When they heard this, the crowd and the city officials were thrown into turmoil. |
9 They made Jason and the others put up a sum of money. Then they let the believers go free. | 9 Then they made Jason and the others post bond and let them go. |
10 That same night the believers sent Paul and Silas to Berea where they went to the Jewish synagogue. | 10 As soon as it was night, the brothers sent Paul and Silas away to Berea. On arriving there, they went to the Jewish synagogue. |
11 These Jews were more willing to listen than the Jews in Thessalonica. The Bereans were eager to hear what Paul and Silas said and studied the Scriptures every day to find out if these things were true. | 11 Now the Bereans were of more noble character than the Thessalonians, for they received the message with great eagerness and examined the Scriptures every day to see if what Paul said was true. |
12 So, many of them believed, as well as many important Greek women and men. | 12 Many of the Jews believed, as did also a number of prominent Greek women and many Greek men. |
13 But the Jews in Thessalonica learned that Paul was preaching the word of God in Berea, too. So they came there, upsetting the people and making trouble. | 13 When the Jews in Thessalonica learned that Paul was preaching the word of God at Berea, they went there too, agitating the crowds and stirring them up. |
14 The believers quickly sent Paul away to the coast, but Silas and Timothy stayed in Berea. | 14 The brothers immediately sent Paul to the coast, but Silas and Timothy stayed at Berea. |
15 The people leading Paul went with him to Athens. Then they carried a message from Paul back to Silas and Timothy for them to come to him as soon as they could. | 15 The men who escorted Paul brought him to Athens and then left with instructions for Silas and Timothy to join him as soon as possible. |
16 While Paul was waiting for Silas and Timothy in Athens, he was troubled because he saw that the city was full of idols. | 16 While Paul was waiting for them in Athens, he was greatly distressed to see that the city was full of idols. |
17 In the synagogue, he talked with the Jews and the Greeks who worshiped God. He also talked every day with people in the marketplace. | 17 So he reasoned in the synagogue with the Jews and the God-fearing Greeks, as well as in the marketplace day by day with those who happened to be there. |
18 Some of the Epicurean and Stoic philosophersn argued with him, saying, "This man doesn't know what he is talking about. What is he trying to say?" Others said, "He seems to be telling us about some other gods," because Paul was telling them about Jesus and his rising from the dead. | 18 A group of Epicurean and Stoic philosophers began to dispute with him. Some of them asked, "What is this babbler trying to say?" Others remarked, "He seems to be advocating foreign gods." They said this because Paul was preaching the good news about Jesus and the resurrection. |
19 They got Paul and took him to a meeting of the Areopagus, where they said, "Please explain to us this new idea you have been teaching. | 19 Then they took him and brought him to a meeting of the Areopagus, where they said to him, "May we know what this new teaching is that you are presenting? |
20 The things you are saying are new to us, and we want to know what this teaching means." | 20 You are bringing some strange ideas to our ears, and we want to know what they mean." |
21 (All the people of Athens and those from other countries who lived there always used their time to talk about the newest ideas.) | 21 (All the Athenians and the foreigners who lived there spent their time doing nothing but talking about and listening to the latest ideas.) |
22 Then Paul stood before the meeting of the Areopagus and said, "People of Athens, I can see you are very religious in all things. | 22 Paul then stood up in the meeting of the Areopagus and said: "Men of Athens! I see that in every way you are very religious. |
23 As I was going through your city, I saw the objects you worship. I found an altar that had these words written on it: to a god who is not known. You worship a god that you don't know, and this is the God I am telling you about! | 23 For as I walked around and looked carefully at your objects of worship, I even found an altar with this inscription: to an unknown god. Now what you worship as something unknown I am going to proclaim to you. |
24 The God who made the whole world and everything in it is the Lord of the land and the sky. He does not live in temples built by human hands. | 24 "The God who made the world and everything in it is the Lord of heaven and earth and does not live in temples built by hands. |
25 This God is the One who gives life, breath, and everything else to people. He does not need any help from them; he has everything he needs. | 25 And he is not served by human hands, as if he needed anything, because he himself gives all men life and breath and everything else. |
26 God began by making one person, and from him came all the different people who live everywhere in the world. God decided exactly when and where they must live. | 26 From one man he made every nation of men, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and he determined the times set for them and the exact places where they should live. |
27 God wanted them to look for him and perhaps search all around for him and find him, though he is not far from any of us: | 27 God did this so that men would seek him and perhaps reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from each one of us. |
28 'We live in him. We walk in him. We are in him.' Some of your own poets have said: 'For we are his children.' | 28 'For in him we live and move and have our being.' As some of your own poets have said, 'We are his offspring.' |
29 Since we are God's children, you must not think that God is like something that people imagine or make from gold, silver, or rock. | 29 "Therefore since we are God's offspring, we should not think that the divine being is like gold or silver or stone--an image made by man's design and skill. |
30 In the past, people did not understand God, and he ignored this. But now, God tells all people in the world to change their hearts and lives. | 30 In the past God overlooked such ignorance, but now he commands all people everywhere to repent. |
31 God has set a day that he will judge all the world with fairness, by the man he chose long ago. And God has proved this to everyone by raising that man from the dead!" | 31 For he has set a day when he will judge the world with justice by the man he has appointed. He has given proof of this to all men by raising him from the dead." |
32 When the people heard about Jesus being raised from the dead, some of them laughed. But others said, "We will hear more about this from you later." | 32 When they heard about the resurrection of the dead, some of them sneered, but others said, "We want to hear you again on this subject." |
33 So Paul went away from them. | 33 At that, Paul left the Council. |
34 But some of the people believed Paul and joined him. Among those who believed was Dionysius, a member of the Areopagus, a woman named Damaris, and some others. | 34 A few men became followers of Paul and believed. Among them was Dionysius, a member of the Areopagus, also a woman named Damaris, and a number of others. |

Calling all erotica authors – sorry – writers of smut. There's a new publisher afoot.
Paper Bag Press has just founded itself with a four page website seeking submissions. The money quote:
We are seeking new or established authors for exclusive publication. We want writers who can craft a short story with a strong plot that revolves around sexual experience. The stories are not necessarily romantic — the sex is the focus. If the characters are in luuurv, that's fine, as long as the sex is hot.
There are three length categories we are seeking:
* Weekenders — 10,000-15,000 words
* One-nighters — 4,000-8,500 words
* One-handers — 1,000-3,500 words
Wow. Use of "one handers" inspires me. Not to mention the "luuurv." As Longmire knows, it's all about the luuurv.
Then there's this part:
Other than that, we are an equal opportunity smut peddler. We know that you are taking a chance on us since we are new. Because of this, we are offering a 5% royalty bonus for the first 25 stories that are accepted for publication. This offer will extend through September 30, 2008, or until we get our first 25 accepted stories.
5% royalty bonus on top of what? Am I the only one who looks at a site like this and thinks, "That's it? You want to do business and you have a four page site with about zero business content? WHY should I do business with you?"
Between the one-handers and the smut peddling, were I a writer of erotica, this would not be my bag.
Thanks to Esri Rose for the link.

Prussia-Posen Church RecordsEdit This Page
From FamilySearch Wiki
Back to Prussia - Posen Page►
Don't know which parish in Posen to check to find your ancestors? A great site to help you find a marriage extracted from church records in Posen is the Poznan Project . Volunteers are working to gather information to help you locate marriages that took place here. It is a great tool for those only knowing "Posen or Poznan".
Birth records from the city of Rawitsch 1661 to 1688
The author Erich Wentscher listed citizens, young men and women, from Rawitsch and surrounding area (not just villages but also little towns like Sarne and Görchen) who desired to move elsewhere. These young people were born between 1640 and 1650. The older records do not just give the names of the individuals concerned, but also their parents and even the father's father. Later the records consistently reveal the names of the subject, the parents and two sets of grandparents. A true treasure trove for the family historian!
The lists are found in Archiv für Sippenforschung 12. Jahrgang Heft 1 (1935) starting with page 22 and were continued in the same periodical 13. Jahrgang Heft 1 (1936) starting with page 70. The author also published the oldest citizenship record of Rawitsch in existence. This record started with the year 1639 and was published in Archiv für Sippenforschung 10. Jahrgang pp. 177 to 206.
The periodical is available at the Family History Library in Salt Lake City, Utah at the International Floor under call number 943 B2as.

Not happy with this
I refuse to buy this brand anymore. I have bought about five of T by Alexander Wang tops - two tanks, two tees and a long sleeved top. The material is beautiful when you first get it, but attempt to wash it and you encounter problems. I am used to fragile material that needs special care when washed but this was ridiculous. First time I washed one of the tanks it shrunk about four inches!! I washed one of the tees and tried to lay it flat, it still shrunk. When I washed another tank I slightly stretched it out as I lay it flat. The arm holes went HUGE but the rest still shrunk. I washed it in cold water and was very careful. I sent them all back. Too much hassle for me to be honest. Total failures for me.
As for size, medium fitted well - I am a US8. The white colour is very sheer. The grey is a lovely colour. A beautiful tee, but be prepared for the care required.

Easy and simple
Great top to throw on. Deep V is very deep and is very cleavage revealing (I have 34D and wow are they on show with this top). But at the same time depending on how you wear it, its fine, just don't go jumping up and down, you might give someone a heart attack!! Im a size 6-8 US and the medium is a good fit, not too tight but not loose either.
Great material, thin but not too thin. Washes perfectly. I just throw it in with whatever else I am washing. No need to iron either.
The length of the top is fantastic, nice and long as pictured. I am 5'11 and hate tops being too short, this is perfect. Also like the sleeves, nice and tight on your arm without cutting off circulation, shows off all my hard work running lol.
Good simple top, a must-have basic. I am going to get every colour.

Love this shirt
I love this shirt, it is beautifully soft and a great fit. I normally take a Medium, Im a US 8 and a 5'11 in height with a 34D bust and the medium fit perfectly.
The material is soft and the colour is pretty much right on to pictured (I bought the Poppy colour). NOTE the poppy is very bright so if you dont think you can pull it off or are a bit shy about colours dont get it. It is a show-stopper of a colour. I have received many comments from guys and girls.
The only drawback about this top is that I have to dry clean it all the time. Washing this top will result in a fading of colour, shrinkage and a weird white discolouration to seams/pockets. Trust me I washed another Equipment dark colour shirt and it looks cheap and gross now. Be careful of rain, you will get watermarks left behind (I got caught out, my poor dry cleaner had to fix it).
Overall, a great purchase and well worth the money.

Beautiful dress
I really love this dress, it is so pretty. I ordered the cream but unfortunately it totally washed me out. It looked terrible on me so I returned it. You need a olive or tanned complexion to pull this one off I think (even though it looks amazing on the model).
In terms of sizing. I am a US 8 and always take a medium. The medium seemed fine for me but I do have a big bust so my chest kept it up. If I had smaller breasts I think the dress would have fallen down and I would have definitely needed a smaller size. I didnt like that the dress made my breast look tiny. It could have been because there was alot of material at the front, not sure??
Nice material too and I love the detailing on the back of the dress.

Versatility at its best.
This is going to be a spring, fall and winter staple for me, and even a cool summer day go-to. The dress/skirt is extremely versatile. You can wear it as a strapless dress or as a maxi skirt. You can wear it high on your waist or for a more relaxed look, on your hips with a little cropped jumper or top. The skirt is also extremely long which is perfect for taller people - mine is a medium and lying the skirt down measures 46 inches in length although for shorter/petite people you can either pull it up a bit or make the turnover part bigger. For fit wise - I am a US8 and normally a medium and the medium was perfect for me. Oddly enough the top of the dress is perfect for a dress around my bust (I am a 34D) but is also perfect when pulled down as a skirt (I am a 29-30 in jeans). The material has amazing stretch recovery.
Also to be noted is how luxurious the fabric is. Thick but not too thick and amazingly soft.
I am going to buy this is all the different colours. I am truly in love

Love this dress
I bought this dress in the black and it is stunning. I am tall, around 5'11 and this dress is long which is perfect for me. Due to the non-hemmed nature of the bottom of this dress, you can cut the dress to the length suitable for you if needed, or get it hemmed.
For other dimensions, I am an 8US. The medium fits me perfectly but due to the nature of the dress i could have gone smaller.
The feel of the dress is amazing. It is so luxurious and soft yet amazingly comfortable. I wear the dress casually, or dress it up for dinner or wear it out on weekends at BBQs and it is perfect for each occasion. A perfect piece if you are looking for a truly versatile maxi dress. And although it says dry clean only I wash it inside out on a silk setting inside out (to avoid pilling) and then lay it flat to dry and it is fine. Dont go crazy washing it but I havent had any issues so far.

Very comfy - best ugg boots ever!
I truly love UGGs. They are amazingly comfortable. A quick guide - ugh boots are meant to be tight when first purchased - of course you should have enough room length-wise, but they will be a tight in width. The sheepskin fur will soften and go flat, which is why they should be snug when purchased. I bought the black and they are lovely. Another note - I have seen on many other websites complaints that they are not waterproof. - DUH, they are sheepskin. UGGs were originally designed as a warm boot for wearing at home or, in Australia, the boot of choice for surfies. Not really for rain and snow (although I have worn uggs as a snow boot in the past). They are great for cold non-rainy days or around the house.
I did not actually buy mine from Shopbop because of shipping restrictions. The UGG website charges $90-110 for shipping to Australia. I bought mine from Victoria's Secret ($38.99 shipping for these boots). I was pretty happy seeing that Aussie stores charge so much!

Didn't like at all
This bra looks beautiful in the picture but I was very disappointed with the style when I tried it on. I am a 34D and while the bra was a good fit (I definitely couldn't go bigger or smaller) it didn't seem to cover me very well. The lace didn't sit flat like in the picture. Maybe I just got a dud, but the lace on the right side of the bra didn't sit flat at all but stuck out. The bra wasn't very comfortable either and although I only tried it on and didn't wear it the straps were already digging in no matter how much I adjusted them.
The colour is slightly brighter than pictured.
The fact that the bra didn't cover me very well, plus the lace sticking out in odd places and how uncomfortable the bra was made me return it right away. Im sticking with Victoria Secret bras. They are always perfect on me.

A great go-to dress
Love Alexander Wang and I love this dress. The sleeves are lovely and long (I am 5'11) and the fit is very good, Im a US8 and a M was perfect. The material is luxuriously soft.
The photos provided for this dress showcase the fit and style of this dress perfectly. The dress is very fitted, as in your lumps and bumps are there for the world to see, especially across your stomach and hips (start those sit-ups!!). There is quite a bit of slouchy side draping which you need to readjust to get the right look, while the other side is very fitted. You need to play around with it for a bit but then it looks great.
Great dress, only drawback is how slinky the material is around my curves. No big meal when wearing this dress ;)

So I got these as a 'round the house/lazy day/feeling flu-like' go-to pants but unfortunately they just aren't right. I bought these a size larger than I would usually buy clothing, a L instead of my usual M. I wanted them to be slouchy but instead they fall off me and make me look about three sizes larger than I usually am. I am a size 29/30 in jeans so I should be able to get away with a L for a slouchy feel but these just looked ridiculous on me. The fold-over is too big and chunky and the buttons and tie are basically useless and dont help adjust the pant much at all.
Also the weird seam at the back is so uncomfortable and just looks odd. When you walk it feels scratchy and weird.
The material is very thick so despite my height (5'11) I looked short and dumpy. VERY DUMPY. I have really long legs and am curvy but the material hid my curves and made my legs look really short. The material is nice and soft but is too thick for this style of pant I think.
Not worth the money.
Sizing: Larger than Expected

I am happy to report that as of last week I have fired myself from one of my daily duties. The grounds of the dismissal were that I was tardy and inconsistent in my job performance. My responsibilities have since been eliminated by workplace automation. The job of which I speak is that of "Chicken Butler".
For the past year, the need for letting the chickens out each morning and closing them in at night has been a source of stress and anxiety. At twilight each evening the chickens file into their respective coops to begin squabbling over the best roosting positions for the night. Shortly thereafter the nighttime predators begin their rounds with little on their minds other than eating my chickens!
This is a game that I can win if I happen to be home and paying attention. Unfortunately there are evenings when I have been unable to be at my station outside the coop at the appointed hour. On those occasions I have found myself speeding homeward on dark bumpy roads expecting to find a scene of disastrous carnage.
I knew that sooner or later I was going to lose more chickens if I didn't find a better solution. Turning to the Internet, I ran across discussions of automating chicken coop doors. I saw a number of different schemes before settling on what appeared to be the most reliable and cost effective. The concept centers on a purchased drive unit that was originally designed for opening and closing draperies. It is basically a motorized spool with adjustable limit switches.
My longtime friend and CSA member, Fred stopped by to help out with the task of building two coop doors. Despite the rainy day, he and my son Sean and I gathered our tools and headed out to get the project done. I knew that the drapery motor units are rated to a maximum of four pounds so I picked up a couple of pieces of sheet metal to act as doors.
After a trip to the coop to take some measurements, we stood around for a little while exchanging opinions on the best way to build guide tracks for the door. Fred devised a method of using some thin wooden strips as spacers and before long we were cutting and nailing them together. We positioned the guide tracks in front of each door and then attached the drive units above.
I had run electricity to the coop when we built it last year so it was easy to provide power to the drives. During the winter we had used an electrical heater base in each coop to keep the water from freezing. The Spring weather has warmed sufficiently that they are no longer needed so we decided to employ the cords in our latest scheme. Sean, who at thirteen is already as tall as I am, rerouted the extension cord through the rafters while I retrieved a couple of electrical timer switches from the house.
We all contributed final touches to the contraption by connecting the power, threading the string through the hole in the guillotine-style door and setting up the timers to operate the doors at the proper times. When all was ready we stood back to survey the results. Since we didn't want to wait for darkness to fall, I triggered the motor remotely by unplugging and reconnecting the extension cords. As the little motor whirred to life and the door began to rise, we broke into wide grins and exchanged back-slaps of mutual congratulations at our achievement.
The doors have continued to perform in my stead with few problems. I still wander out to the coop each evening a little after sunset with a flashlight in hand to make sure that the doors have closed. In the end I have to say that I am glad to have been dismissed from those duties. Now on the occasional dinner out away from the farm, I am able to relax with the knowledge that the doors are most likely...almost certainly...well, I'll just check to be sure when I get there...closed.

"Crisis at Fort Sumter" is an interactive historical simulation and decision making program. Using text, images, and sound, it reconstructs the dilemmas of policy formation and decision making in the period between Abraham Lincoln's election in November 1860 and the battle of Fort Sumter in April 1861. The program primarily focuses on Lincoln, both as President-elect and as President. Viewers place themselves in Lincoln's position, consider the events that transpire, and choose a course of action at five critical junctures, called "problems." At each of these five junctures, Lincoln made a decision that helped determine the outcome of the crisis at Fort Sumter. In order to assess each problem and make a decision, advice is available from official advisors, such as cabinet members, and from various informal channels, such as newspapers, friends, and public spokesmen. The program divides the information about the Sumter crisis into nine chronological sections. The text within the sections also contains hotword links that permit viewers to explore information in a topical rather than a chronological manner and commentary links that provide additional information including material about debates among historians about events, action, or people. The site also contains an extensive bibliography on the civil war.

see more
The Lost Museum is an interactive re-creation of P. T. Barnums American Museum, circa 1865. Barnums Museum, mid-nineteenth century Americas pre-eminent popular cultural institution, offered its visitors a cornucopia of attractions that merged entertainment and education and, often in odd but compelling ways, highlighted some of the major compromises, accommodations, and conflicts of the antebellum and Civil War periods. The Lost Museum combines 3-D spatial exploration of four re-created museum rooms containing 130 interactive artifacts and attractions, asearchable archive of more than 300 primary documents, and 14 teaching resources geared to diverse classroom settings. Working independently andtogether, these features allow contemporary virtual visitors to experience the fascinating intricacy of nineteenth-century exhibitions, to embark on a search for clues to solve the mystery of who (among social and political groups in the period) may have burned down the building in July 1865, or to choose lesson plans and strategies suitable for high school and college teaching about U.S. history.

I always feel like
because I have so many times before.
(bought my first MUM of the season)
So……today, I was thinking more about our backyard retreat and all the color I want to add.
I have a can of Annie Sloan Provence chalk paint that I have been dying to dig into.
Remember I mentioned I want a Spanish flair out on our new area. I want to totally bring the inside out.
It really was so simple to paint the terra cotta.
The Annie sloan chalk paint went on like butter.
Dried fast as usual. I have so many pretty stencils on hand I thought I would stencil a design on the pot as well.
I was achieving a weathered old look…
so I sanded the heck out of it.
the sanding is the toughest part of these jobs!
I sweat like a dickens!
In fact from what I am told about Annie's paint, that using it for outdoor projects is just as wonderful. It will take on a more weathered effect over time.
This is the stencil and paint I used..
Thanks for stopping by today.
I hope you will stick around and follow me anyplace anytime.
Check out my side bar with my social media buttons:)
You can check out my stenciling gallery while you are here.
I am no Picasso, however with stencils you surely can feel like one.
