TOO//FUTURE Move Their Underground Sound to a "Proper Warehouse"
What do real, passionate music lovers do when faced with a scene marred by commercial interests and that no longer caters to their discerning tastes? They pool their resources, say "fuck this industry," and take matters into their own hands!
"We're doing it because we're really passionate about this music," said Gaurav "G" Khanna, one of five old-school bass heads who manage the monthly TOO//FUTURE parties. T//F aims to bring foundational dub sounds to those who seek a deeper, darker, more mysterious side of the dance-music scene.
The party has succeeded for about a year and a half at downtown Fort Lauderdale's Fat Cats. Now, it's making the move to a full-on, underground warehouse this Saturday, with a lineup that can't be experienced anywhere else in the Southern U.S.
Back in the '90s, G and his buddies were part of the thriving underground rave scene. They preferred the dark, rhythmic sounds of drum 'n' bass and found themselves attracted to the "clandestine" nature of the scene.
"In our opinion, and I've always held to this, there is a certain mystery to it," he said. "It was secretive, underground, not everyone knows about it. The idea of a day festival with everyone dressed in neon is sort of the exact opposite of what intrigued my buddies about this kind of music in the past."
After the RAVE Law crackdown, G and his crew got serious about responsibility and took on day jobs, and they were happy with that. But when they ventured back into the party scene around 2007, at the behest of old friends, they fell in love with a new sound: dubstep.
But it wasn't the brash, college-ready sound most young crowds find familiar. It was deeper, darker, slow in tempo, and low in register.
"It was really futuristic and deep, grass-roots music," G said. "As it progressed, the commercial influence came in, and then it exploded. All the weeklies and monthlies, they stopped being so cutting edge and more just served what everyone wanted to hear. It kind of alienated us, and we figured the only way we would hear the artists we wanted to hear was to bring them ourselves."

Cornelia takes steps to proceed with new walking trailBy Rob Moore Editor CORNELIA - The City of Cornelia soon will begin work on a new creekside walking trail and picnic area to enhance the downtown area.
Tuesday night, the city commission approved taking steps that will allow the project to proceed. "They approved an easement which allows them to obtain what is called a conservation easement from several property owners along this area, along the sides of the stream," said City Manager Donald Anderson. The work is along the beginning of Little Mud Creek, and will involve both clean-up and enhancement activities. "We're going to start at Irvin Street Park, and it'll run beside the car wash, up Level Grove Road to Hoyt Street," Anderson said. "It's a $166,000 grant that we got from the Mud Creek Watershed Association, and what it's going to allow us to do is go in there and rebuild the streambank in a terraced type thing for flood control." A walking path will be constructed along the terrace, with a picnic area at the end of Hodges Street at Level Grove Road on the former Hobson property, Anderson said. "It's really going to beautify that whole area," Anderson said. © Copyright 2015 AccessNorthGa.com

Sanders reaches 'Madden 25' cover final
APR 17, 2013 9:12p ET
Barry Sanders, the Detroit Lions' Hall of Fame running back, has eliminated both former San Francisco 49ers greats in a vote to determine who will appear on the cover to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Madden video game.
The final round comes down to Sanders, who retired in 1999, against current Minnesota running back Adrian Peterson, a semifinal winner over Houston's Arian Foster.
It's old school vs. new school for the title.
"Wow," Sanders wrote in a message posted Wednesday on Twitter. "Just wow. I can't believe I won, I can't believe I beat THE Jerry Rice.
"I'm really doing Jerry a favor going up against Adrian Peterson," Sanders added. "He's one of my favorites in the game. I know a lot of people share my opinion."
The winner will be announced next week.

You can satisfy this requirement either by printing the six individual documents and giving a copy of each document to each new non-benefit eligible employee or by printing and giving this page to the new employee. The employee should log on to the policy sites and read the information. If your benefit eligible employee will not attend orientation, i.e. a Lecturer who teaches only in the evening, please print the information for them also.

Basic Economics-Thomas Sowell
"We do have some differences and our approaches will be different, but that makes him his own person. I mean why should he [Rand] be a clone and do everything and think just exactly as I have. I think it's an opportunity to be independent minded. We are about 99% [the same on issues]." Ron Paul
Personally I don't think you need any stinking books. Or any stinking economic clown college degrees. Everything that they profess to teach they have went and broken.
Try studying this Super Dollar for about three minutes.
Once you have the basic fundamentals then other things should come into focus.
~No matter where your aunt Martha hid the cookie jar with her savings in it, others are able to slither in like vampires in the night and suck the strength out of it. This is an understatement. Actually the also suck the strength out of the cookie jar and everything else. EVERYTHING ELSE. See they're not actually creating any real wealth when they counterfeit. They are just shifting the property lines.
~Sure if they double the money supply your Uncle Phil gets twice as much when he sells his stocks but he is getting twice as many of something worth half as much. Plus some of the very people that counterfeited the money supply have now cut themselves in on his stuff with capital gains taxes. Capital gains that are only an illusion!
~They've broken banking in both directions. Banks don't pay us regular people enough to keep up with inflation. In the other direction, if you had money to lend you could never compete with the counterfeiters and their banks.
~No matter how much honest money you and the rest of the, "We the People's" of the world could come up with to build your world the way you want, others inside and outside of the country, have the ability to fire up the fake money presses and dictate their will.
~ Or how about this one. I don't imagine they even need to spend their own money to get what they want done at times. They just need to get others favorable to what they want, put into position or office and spend someone else's money to get what they want done.
If you must get a book, I think it best to go for something leather bound. We may be able to make soup with it later.

Carson, your Super Dollar makes me dizzy.
"When goods do not cross borders, soldiers will." Frederic Bastiat
I followed some lessons related to Akiyoshi's Snakes and made my own. I never could get the optical illusion to work very well in hard copy prints of Super Dollars. They kind of work if you cover a large area with a bunch.
Here is a link to some of Akiyoshi's work.
Here is a link to how they work. Warning though. It is a PDF,

The stomach cramps. The frequent trips to the bathroom. Diarrhea is a common side effect in people receiving treatment for cancer. Diarrhea may also be caused by the cancer itself. But diarrhea can be more than an inconvenience for people with cancer — it can be a sign of something much more serious.
Everyone gets diarrhea now and then. If you have cancer, the common causes of diarrhea can still affect you. But there are additional causes of diarrhea specific to cancer, including cancer treatment, infections, stress and anxiety, and cancer itself.
Cancer treatment Several types of cancer treatment can cause diarrhea:
Infections Cancer treatment can make you more susceptible to various infections, which can cause diarrhea. In addition, the antibiotics that may be used to treat an infection can cause diarrhea.
Stress and anxiety The stress and anxiety that you feel when you're fighting cancer also can cause diarrhea.
Cancer itself Certain cancers can cause diarrhea, including:
The duration and severity of your diarrhea depend on what's causing your signs and symptoms. Talk to your doctor about what you can expect and how long your diarrhea may last.
Diarrhea typically causes stomach cramps and loose, watery stools. Mostly it's an inconvenience. But if your symptoms persist or get worse, it could be a sign of something more serious. Diarrhea can also lead to other problems, such as severe dehydration.
Some signs and symptoms are more serious than others are. Call your doctor right away if you have any of the following:
If your diarrhea doesn't seem severe but starts to interfere with your daily activities, such as if you're concerned about leaving home or going somewhere without a bathroom nearby, talk to your doctor. If abdominal cramping is keeping you from your daily activities, discuss this with your doctor, as well.
Also call your doctor if you're taking chemotherapy in pill form and you experience diarrhea. Your doctor can determine whether it's safe for you to continue taking chemotherapy pills.
When you begin experiencing diarrhea, you can take action by modifying what you eat and drink. For instance, try to:
As you start to feel better, you can slowly adjust your diet back to your normal fare.
If changes to your diet aren't reducing your discomfort from diarrhea, your doctor might prescribe medications to offer you relief. Common medications for cancer-related diarrhea include:
Other medications are available, but what type you'll take will depend on the severity of your diarrhea and what's causing it.
Though discussing diarrhea with your doctor might be embarrassing, it's very important that you mention your signs and symptoms to your doctor. Diarrhea that accompanies cancer treatment can be serious. The sooner you tell your doctor, the sooner your doctor can act to help relieve your symptoms.

Allison Macfarlane, the geologist and expert on atomic waste picked to lead the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, is described by associates as someone who can advocate positions without offending her opponents.
The U.S., long accused of blocking progress in international climate talks, is winning a two-decade old debate about how to curtail global warming.
China and the European Union today will set out alternative proposals for extending limits on greenhouse gases, seeking to avoid the blame for undermining the only international pact limiting them.
Envoys at United Nations talks are near an agreement that would set up a fund channeling a portion of the $100 billion a year in pledged climate aid to developing nations, part of a package to keep a lid on global warming.
Carbon markets are a key driver for investment in the biggest emerging nations' greenhouse-gas reducing efforts, and allowing them to collapse would be a "disaster," according to the Center for American Progress.

SHE-HULK #22 (Marvel Comics) — People buy comic books for a lot of different reasons. Not all of them good. Or even rational. For some, they are an investment ("This issue of Captain Crappy will someday be worth a ba-jillion dollars and I can use the money to send my kids to college."). For others, they are a collectible ("I own all 753 issues of Confounding Comics, and I'm not missing this one, even if I haven't read an issue since 1956!"). Others are often brainwashed ("I WILL BUY THIS ISSUE OF ZOMBIE TUBA BECAUSE GIZZARD MAGAZINE TOLD ME TO. AND I WILL BE HAPPY. YAY."). And some brave souls, although their numbers seem to be dwindling, actually buy comic books because they enjoy reading them ("I like to read comic books. Please don't hit me.").
Which brings us to She-Hulk. As with other comics, there are many reasons people like to buy She-Hulk comics, and again not all of them are the best intentioned. She-Hulk is a character that some fans latch on to because she is: a) a woman, b) very tall, c) very busty, d) green, e) tends to occasionally "fall out" of her ripping clothes, and f) some pleasant (or unpleasant) combination of some or all of these. But let's not talk about that.
The main reason that most people that bought (and read) the most current incarnation of the character, was for one reason only: Because Dan Slott was writing it. Dan's She-Hulk stories were, of course, incredibly funny, but they were also occasionally powerful, moving, sad, touching, sometimes odd, but always fun. But the main deal was that Dan wrote his characters "real" — you cared for Jen, you rooted for She-Hulk and you fell in love with Awesome Andy (basically, a big dumb lump of clay — think about that!). And now (sniff) Dan is off to write Amazing Spider-Man.
And this is what new writer Peter David has chosen to step into. He alludes to it on the text page of his first issue, explaining that the series has experienced a couple of runs by creators who have brought their "unmistakable… and, more to the point, inimitable… brand of storytelling" to the series, invoking both Slott and John Byrne.
So, how is Peter's first issue? Well, it's… um… strange.
Some amount of time has passed since the previous issue. When we first encounter Jennifer Walters, she is no longer working as a lawyer for Goodman, Lieber, Kurtzberg and Book, although she is still a part of the legal world food chain, albeit on the grimy, dropped-the-egg-on-the-floor lower level. She is now a bail enforcement agent, or as better known in the pulp media, a bounty hunter. Her current case: a poor schlubb by the name of Rocky Davis (no, not the Challenger of the Unknown. That's another company…) who goes by the super-villain name of "Hi-Lite." Before attempting Davis' capture, Jen sets a wager with a mysterious voice huddled in the back of the camper that Jan has been using as her stakeout vehicle. The wager? Jen bets the voice that she can take Davis without "turning green," i.e. turning into She-Hulk. Unfortunately, the bust goes bad when Crusher Creel, the Absorbing Man (who is Davis' cousin), shows up, grabs Jen from behind, and violently snaps her neck.
Creel is there to gain revenge against She-Hulk for her constant assault of his wife, Titania. Thinking that he's killed Jen, Creel goes to check out the camper as a possible getaway vehicle, only to be attacked by She-Hulk (?!?) who comes leaping out of the camper. The fight destroys a good portion of the neighborhood and comes to a temporary halt when Creel is struck by a bus. Meanwhile, back at the house, Davis is deciding if he should enter the brawl to help his cousin, when he finds himself at gunpoint by the recently deceased Jen Walters, who is back on her feet and somehow continuing to function with a broken neck. To which all I have to say is … "Ewww."
So, Peter has presented us with a big puzzle — or several interconnected puzzles, to be exact. Have She-Hulk and Jen been separated somehow? Or is She-Hulk now somebody new? Or is Jen? But if Jen is now "human," how can she possibly be alive and functioning after a broken neck? Plus there's the mystery of how all this happened and why Jen is no longer a lawyer. Beyond this, Peter has deliberately shifted the tone of the book away from the kind of humor that Slott was known for, to more of a serious action/adventure feel (something that Slott was already beginning to work towards). The odd thing about it is that, with this change, Peter's script is also consciously (but not completely) moving away from his natural tendency for humor, although, obviously, black humor is still much in evidence. Is this good or bad? Actually, I think it's still too soon to tell. This was a good, solid, fast-moving issue, but I walked away feeling I needed just a bit more. Which means — in the long run — that Peter accomplished his job.
It's really up to you to decide whether the new direction is to your liking. For me, Peter has been pulling surprizes out of his word processor for a long time now and I'm willing to keep checking in, if he's willing to keep things moving.
ACTION COMICS #857-855 (DC Comics) — Good-Bye!
Just in time for Halloween, perhaps Superman's weirdest adversary, Bizarro returns, in a 3-part story entitled "Escape from Bizarro World." But instead of a scary story, full of angry and destructive monsters, writers Geoff Johns and Richard Donner and guest artist Eric Powell (The Goon) serve up a sweet — if bizarre — fairy tale about fathers and sons.
The tale begins quickly — with the kidnapping of Jonathan Kent by Bizarro — and, as in all the best Bizarro stories, barrels along frantically and haphazardly. The creators wisely know that if you stop to take time to explain Bizarro — basically explaining the unexplainable — it tends to undo the whole story. But here's what we do know: Thanks to help from Superman's "other" dad, Jor-El, we learn that Bizarro has taken Jonathan to a world under a Blue Sun and that said sun may enhance Superman's powers, possibly in unusual ways. Oh, and that it may affect Bizarro as well.
In a wonderful sequence of mostly silent pages, Superman travels to the world under the Blue Sun — a perfectly cubic world — where Superman slowly comes to learn that Bizarro has remade Metropolis in his own twisted vision. Discovering this planet's version of the "Dayli Planet" (topped off with a cubic "globe" and a sign which reads "Is here Dali Planit. Dilivrees in reer or punch in face"), Superman also discovers that the planet has been somehow populated with twisted duplicates of his coworkers, including Perry, Jimmy and Lois. The usual misunderstandings occur and a fight ensues, climaxing with Superman setting Bizarro on fire with his heat vision ("Call Gasoline Company!" cries Bizarro Lois.), unintentionally revealing that Bizarro Clark Kent is actually Bizarro — which in Bizarro-logic makes Bizarro the newly christened Bizarro World's "worst enemy" and the population turns against him! Managing to escape the crazed mob, Bizarro flees, only to encounter Superman, who he quickly defeats by spontaneously generating several super-powered duplicates of himself — which is apparently one of the strange Blue Sun powers that Jor-El predicted — indicating exactly how Bizarro managed to populate Bizarro World. Bizarro then travels to his Bizarro Fortress, where he tells the captive Jonathan Kent that he needs his help in destroying Bizarro World.
The middle chapter gives up a flashback glimpse at the actual construction of Bizarro World by Bizarro, as well as propelling the story forward with the machinations of Bizarro Lex Luther's "sekret weapon" to defeat Bizarro, making him Bizarro World's Greatest Hero. Unfortunately, Bizarro Lex's plans are literally crushed by the arrival of the Bizarro Justice League, who, being Bizarros, pretty much defeat themselves. During the fight, Superman accidentally strikes Jonathan with an unknown Blue Sun-derivied vision power, but instead of injuring Jonathan, he is temporarily given super-powers, which he quickly uses to defeat Bizarro Luther's "secret weapon," bringing the action to a temporary halt.
Superman, tired of dealing with a planet of Bizarros, just wants to grab Jonathan and fly home, but Jonathan insists on staying. "We have to help them all," he contends. "It's not their fault they're different, is it?"
"They're more than different," says Superman.
"Some would say that about you, too," replies Pa Kent.
Together, the two hatch a plan that enables Bizarro to save face with his people, embarrasses Bizarro Lex (Dali Planit headline: "Luther am jerk!") and sets Bizarro into his rightful and deserved position of "Bizarro #1," complete with the traditional prestigious emblem — a rock on a chain! Remarkably, Bizarro somehow understands what has occurred and, in gratitude, presents Pa with a homemade Superman suit.
Eric Powell was the perfect choice to illustrate this story, his rocky, blocky style evoking the very best of Superman creator Joe Shuster (and yes, there's even an homage to the cover of Action #1). His Superman, like Shuster's, is physically small, but tenacious, obviously having to fight for every inch. And to my way of thinking, this is how it should be. I get so tired of seeing the shoulders-six-feet-wide steroid freak that Superman often becomes in the hands of lesser artists. Obviously a guy who looks like that is gonna win most of his battles without breaking a sweat. Give me a scrappy little guy fighting the big monsters any day. And, yes, this is my way of saying that I'd welcome the return of Eric Powell to the pages of any Superman book!
X-MEN: FIRST CLASS #5 (Marvel Comics) — Y'know, I often get really angry when I read kids comics today. I guess I'm spoiled by the fact that the kids comics I read as a kid were done by the likes of Carl Barks, John Stanley, Sheldon Mayer, Dan DeCarlo, Warren Kremer and many, many others. And maybe it's unfair of me to expect work like that out of today's kids books (at least at the "big-time" publishers who only seemingly put any effort into their "kids lines" unless they are pushed.). But let me say this:
The work that Jeff Parker and Roger Cruz put into this series easily stands with the work of the gentleman mentioned above. Maybe not quite the VERY best of their work — at least not yet — but they could at least have dinner at the same table. Because they understand the cardinal rule of good kids comics — they don't talk down to their audience!
The basic premise of X-Men: First Class is about as basic as you can get: These are stories told about the first six mutants that we were introduced to in the Marvel Universe — The original X-Men. Scott, Jean, Hank, Warren, Bobby and their professor, Charles Xavier — or better known as Cyclops, Marvel Girl, Beast, Angel, Iceman and Professor X. This is not the first time this has been done, but it is most certainly one of the best.
Most issues to date have been stand-alone, single-issue stories, mostly revolving around the students being sent on a "mission" by the Professor. Some of these are just actually just "training missions" designed by Xavier to make the kids learn teamwork and how to think on their feet in order to control their often dangerous powers. But occasionally, they are sent out on a real mission, often requested by Xavier's old FBI liaison Fred Duncan. And this is one of the key elements in my enjoyment of the series — the fact that the mutant kids are actually working alongside of — and cooperating with — various government and law-enforcement agencies, instead of constantly being hunted down by them in the "more mature" books.
In issue #5, the team has been called in to assist the army in finding The Hulk! Of course, they've been lead into thinking that he's an uncontrollable, mindless beast, a presumption that isn't helped by the Hulk's attack of the team early in the issue. They learn right off that he's one tough customer, but come to understand that his anger is mostly being fueled by the constant hounding by the army. This is reinforced by meeting the Hulk's friend, Rick Jones, and eventually they learn the truth when the Hulk calms down and reverts back to his Bruce Banner personna, whom Hank recognizes as a leading nuclear scientist. In the end, the kids decide (with the Professor's help) that the Hulk is best left alone.
It's a pretty basic plot, actually, as are most of them. But the true enjoyment of the series is in the details and the personalities of these well-known characters. Bobby, the youngest, is charmingly annoying in that "Hey! look at me!" obnoxious younger brother way. He's constantly chattering away about being the "King of Bobbyland." Warren is headstrong and impatient, and his powers and his wealthy background set him apart slightly from the others. I love the way that Warren's dresser is covered with piles of money, there for the taking of the other kids to enable the completion of important missions… or an unexpected road trip. Hank is the complex big brother and the heart — and anchor — of the team. Scott, as usual, is the stoic leader, secretly struggling with not only powers that he fears, but the fears of young romance with his teammate Jean. And it's with Jean that the creators shine, with Jeff writing her as the cool and confident (but not too) emotional center of the team, and Roger depicts her as the determined — yet awkwardly cute — young woman that she is developing into. In issue #5, Jean faces down the Hulk alone after he effortlessly swats the boys aside in the issue's defining moment.
Roger excels in drawing all of the kids — as kids (as opposed to muscle-bound midgets). They are awkward and gangly and you can imagine them all falling all over themselves in private, just managing to pull themselves together when needed to impress their teammates that they're not totally hopeless. Well, maybe not Warren…
Every so often, a short back-up feature appears, illustrated by Colleen Coover in her gloriously cartoony style, and the tale in this issue features Jean secretly manipulating an Ouija board to freak out the guys, just in time for Halloween. Hey, Marvel! Next time regular artist Roger Cruz needs a break, why not give Colleen a chance on a longer story!?
Don't let the stigma of being "just" a kids book prevent you from taking a look at this great title. X-Men: First Class stands with the best, even if it isn't all angsty or dark or moody. That's what sets it apart from all the rest!
SERENITY: THOSE LEFT BEHIND HARDCOVER (Dark Horse Comics) — Dark Horse Comics' 3-issue Serenity miniseries, bridging the story-gap between Joss Whedon's beloved Firefly TV series and the then-forthcoming Serenity major motion picture, sold out so fast that a collection had to be pulled together practically in seconds. Accordingly, the Serenity: Those Left Behind trade paperback was an okay collection, but seemingly quite workmanlike in its execution due to the speed that the market demanded it be produced. This week a deluxe Hardcover edition has appeared and was truly worth the wait.
The biggest improvement, for me anyway, is its increase back to comic book size proportions. The 3/4 size of the trade paperback (not as large as a comic collection, not as thick as a manga) seemed to lessen the impact of the work, despite the wonderful story by Whedon and Brett Matthews and art by Will Conrad, as well as the evocative cover painting by Adam Hughes. The larger format restores the "epic" to the story.
New to this hardcover edition is creator Joss Whedon's Serenity pre-production memo, "A Brief History of the Universe Circa 2516 A.D." which is illustrated with several pieces of pre-production art for the film by Leinil Francis Yu and Joshua Middleton. There is also a brand new cover by Adam Hughes which is very serene indeed. Also, I am happy to report that all of the things that were cool about the original publications have been included, especially the original 9 covers from the comics — which are much enhanced by the book's larger format — as well as Adam Hughes' original cover for the trade paperback collection. The evocatively nostalgic Introduction by Nathan Fillion ("Mal") from the original collection is also included.
THE SPIRIT: BOOK ONE HARDCOVER (DC Comics) — Not many people could take on the task of reviving Will Eisner's landmark masterpiece The Spirit and do it justice. First off, it's one of the most revered (and therefore, most reprinted) projects in comics. Secondly, its innovations were borne of some of the most serious restrictions of the medium — restrictions that Eisner put into play himself when inventing "The Spirit Section" for newspaper circulation in 1940. The Spirit ran as the lead feature of the "Section," 6 or 7 pages each and every week for close to thirteen years. And most all of them were stand-alone stories.
Enter Darwyn Cooke. A man who knows what he's doing. And he does it very, very well.
Darwyn's been kicking around the industry for a number of years now, having snuck in through one of comic's backdoors — the animation industry — where he storyboarded for the acclaimed Batman, Superman and Batman: Beyond animated shows. (He more-or-less created the stunning opening sequence for the latter show.) The usual pattern is that comic book creators, having been burned-out (or burned-up) by the comic industry, find their way into animation and into a second creative career. (Hey, it worked for Jack Kirby!). Typically, Darwyn did it a different way. And because he entered the comics field relatively late, he needed to make an impact immediately. And he did, with Batman: Ego, the redesigning of Catwoman, some remarkable one-shots for both Marvel and DC and his magnum opus (to date) DC: The New Frontier. Darwyn's deft handing of the personalities of the heroes behind the masks in DC: The New Frontier led him to be chosen to re-launch Eisner's classic character into the DC Universe.
This hardcover collection includes Darwyn's first six issues of the series, along with his now classic collaboration with writer Jeph Loeb on the stand-alone Batman/The Spirit. All the right notes were hit with this team-up from the chumminess of the two Commissioners, Gordon and Dolan (and isn't it warmly comforting how Eisner grew into looking like Dolan in his later years, something that the great team of Cooke and Bone are gently nudging along in the series?), to the big splash pages with the incorporated "logo" of the main characters (a Spirit tradition!), to the handling of all the gorgeous, powerful women in both the heroes' circles.
In the regular series, Darwyn starts off with a bang, effortlessly pulling the 65+ year-old characters into today's world of TV tabloid journalism and the internet, as well as strengthening the roles and personalities of the core supporting characters. Dolan is tenacious, soft and flinty, all in the space of a handful of panels and Ebony is re-imagined so matter-of-factly in the last three pages, shrugging off any kind of potential controversy over the past portrayal of the character. And wisely, instead of reintroducing one of the old Eisner femme fatales, Darwyn creates one of his own, the feisty NNN news anchor Ginger Coffee.
Ellen Dolan pops up in issue two — helping to solve the case with her knowledge of the internet — as does the always mysterious P'gell — two of the absolutely strongest females in comics.
Issue three spotlights some wonderfully imagined flashback sequences, which handily show off the massive contributions of inker J. Bone and colorist Dave Stewart to the series. If you want the back story of The Spirit, it's all laid out for you right here.
Issue 4 is my favorite of the bunch, as it reintroduces Eisner's classic character Silk Satin and instantly makes her one of the most complicated and intriguing characters in the cast. Plus, Hussein returns, and we get a glimpse of the always mysterious Octopus (or at least his three-striped glove.)
The Spirit sells Pork and Beans in issue 5, in an amazing satire of consumer culture and how quickly the Spirit has been absorbed into it, at the hands of classic Eisner character Mister Carrion (and his vulture companion, Miss Julia).
And issue 6 is devoted to the kind of tale that Eisner excelled at — the story of how the world exists for society's outsiders and how they cope with a world that often cannot cope with them. The most remarkable thing about most of these stories is that The Spirit is often not involved at all. Here, Darwyn tops the charts with the tale of a mysterious musician called Blue.
The Spirit: Book One represents some of the absolute best of what current comics have to offer, by one of the Modern Masters of the field. It doesn't matter if you've never encountered The Spirit or know anything of the 65+ year history of the character. You don't even need to know Will Eisner or Darwyn Cooke. All you need to know is: This is remarkable work, and you will come to know these incredible talents through this work. This book deserves to be on your bookshelf.

And Lord Havok et al got their own mini because there are still characters from the Giffen/DeMattias JL that aren't dead yet, silly.
- James Schee Says:
October 27, 2007 at 8:53 PMSome very good reviews there.
I'm sort of curious about She-Hulk, as I never knew anything about the character before Slott buto do like David's work.
I've ben curious about the Donner/Johns pairing on Superman, so good to hear this is working for KC. I'll probably check out the eventual trade.
I've yet to try out X-Men: First Class, got sort of burned out on X-stuff, but do mean to eventually.
I need to look for the Spirit collection, I have issues #1-4, and loved them and I'd never read any or about Spirit stuff before. I was curious about the Batman/Spirit story since I'm not a big fan of Loeb's work.
On his coming up stuff, good job, especially the "Ow, OWW" line.
I know I'm kind of excited to see how Johns and Frank do on that LSH story especially. Johns said he's basically using all the LSH stuff up to COIE, which is smart as that was the story that sort of hampered the LSH most for the longest time. (nearly every series since has been about explaining it in some way)
Its a good time to be a LSH fan with that storyline starting, Shooter back on the regular title, and Torres on the adventure book. Plus even the second season of the LSH cartoon has sort of grown up a bit. Though I found it odd to see Vi as a gigling, giddy goose on the show.
Dang, I think this is the most I've had to say about comics in a long time lol. So goood job fostering discussion KC… you too Johanna.:)

In Season: Rhubarb
by Dana Angelo White in In Season, May 6, 2009
My mother-in-law just told me she's growing rhubarb in her garden this year, and now it's my job to come up with things to do with it. Rhubarb is a quintessential spring goodie with an unmistakably tart bite.
When, Where & What?
Rhubarb hits peak season for a short time in early spring. Though I've never tried, I hear if you grow it in your home garden, it's a little hard to control. I'll see how my mother-in-law makes out and get back to you.
Rhubarb is easy to spot at the market thanks to its dark green leaves and shiny crimson stalks. The leaves are high in toxic oxalic acid, so when it comes to eating it, stick to the stalks. Known for a distinctively tart flavor, rhubarb is good raw, but is more often cooked to mellow the flavor out.
Nutrition Facts
One cup of rhubarb has about 25 calories and is full of vitamin C and vitamin E (it actually has 45% of your daily vitamin E needs). The veggie also contains some calcium, but since its oxalic acid interferes with calcium absorption, the body can't take advantage of it. Yes, it's yummy, but you also want to limit your enjoyment. It contains anthraquinones, which may have a laxative effect.
What To Do With Rhubarb
Since rhubarb is so tart, most folks usually prepare it with sugar or some other sweetener to give it balance. Classic dishes are sugary, strawberry and rhubarb tarts, pies and other pastries (strawberry-rhubarb crisp is my personal favorite). You can also stew rhubarb or preserve it in jams, jellies or spicy chutneys. Try spreading rhubarb chutney on toasted bread and top with sliced turkey and sharp cheddar cheese — amazing! You can also boil rhubarb with sugar to make a syrup for drinks or sundaes.
Shopping Tip: Choose rhubarb stalks that are firm and bright red. Store them in the refrigerator trimmed and wrapped tightly in plastic wrap for up to 2 weeks.

Can Rhubarb be frozen? As is or blanched?
Hi Peggy –
I usually give my rhubarb a chop and quick blanch before I freeze it – then it's ready to toss into any of my recipes straight from the freezer.
I have a big rhubarb plant and was so happy to see it coming up out of the ground about two weeks ago. I put a cage over it since we have a heavy deer population here in the high country of the Colorado Rockies. I was so mad when I found that they had pushed the cage off and had eaten it to the ground! I put a bigger one on it and secured it to the ground even more. So far, so good. I wonder if it makes deer sick to eat the leaves? Please send me a rhubarb custard pie recipe if you know of one. I had it once and it was really good. Also rhubarb/strawberry jam please… email@example.com
It truly is seriously a excellent and useful piece of data. I'm glad which you shared this beneficial data with us. Please retain us informed like this. Thank you for sharing.
I have two Rhubard recipes my grandkids just love.

Rickets, Vitamin D Deficiency
National Organization for Rare Disorders, Inc.
It is possible that the main title of the report Rickets, Vitamin D Deficiency is not the name you expected. Please check the synonyms listing to find the alternate name(s) and disorder subdivision(s) covered by this report.
General Discussion
Vitamin-D deficiency rickets, a disorder that becomes apparent during infancy or childhood, is the result of insufficient amounts of vitamin D in the body. The vitamin deficiency may be caused by poor nutrition, a lack of exposure to the sun, or malabsorption syndromes in which the intestines do not adequately absorb nutrients from foods. Vitamin D is needed for the metabolism of calcium and phosphorus in the body, which, in turn affects how calcium is deposited in the bones; thus it is considered essential for proper bone development and growth. Major symptoms of vitamin D deficiency rickets include bone disease, restlessness, and slow growth. This disorder is rare in the United States but is not uncommon in certain areas of the world.

text: 6/14/2012 Best known in the mid-Atlantic states (and unheard of in some areas), scrapple is a simple and tasty meal that's typically served for breakfast. How could it be better? Try making it out of venison. Here, from the pages of the NRA Members' Wild-Game Cookbook, is scrapple venison. Try it out with any wild-game you may have hanging around the freezer and you won't be disappointed. To buy your very own copy of the cookbook, visit the NRA Program Materials Center. Venison Scrapple Ingredients: All quantities are in proportion so it can be multiplied or divided, depending upon the amount of available meat. Trim fat from venison trimmings, place them in a pot, cover with water and cook until meat separates from the bones (about 30 minutes in a pressure cooker). Save broth. Separate meat from bones and chop in a food processor. Meanwhile, to two cups broth, add corn meal, rolled oats and buckwheat flour. Mix thoroughly so there are no lumps. Bring meat in remaining broth to a boil. Add lard, cereal and broth mixture and cook until it has the consistency of thick mush. Stir in salt, pepper and spices (jalapeno juice is brine from preserved jalapeno peppers and a little goes a long way). Remove from heat and pour into muffin tins using cupcake liners. The finished product can be stored frozen for six months or so. Properly made, venison scrapple can be thawed and sliced easily for frying with little crumbling. Originally Submitted By:

The coolest part is that this game is about to enter Open Beta, which means COME PLAY. Developers Adhesive Games have announced the beginning of its penultimate testing phase on the scariest day of the year: the 12/12/2012 and if you ask me that sounds like the perfect day to make stuff go BOOM.
Aside from the fact that that in itself is somewhat rad, the Open Beta event will allow the developers to get a better idea of what the community wants. Spokesperson Chris Lalli, speaking to GameSpy.com said, "The Open Beta Event allows us flexibility to roll out these updates in waves, and get instant player feedback that will influence the final version of the game."

Good Day, Sunshine
All technologies under the sun.
When most people think about solar energy, they picture photovoltaic panels on top of someones cabin in the woods. Thousands of homes are powered this way, and not just cabins (George W. Bushs Crawford ranch house, for one). But while were waiting for photovoltaics (PV) to become commercially viable, other solar technologies may be much closer.
"The problem with solar is how to get significant quantities of energy out of it," says Rich Ferguson, energy chair of Sierra Club California. Despite substantial improvements in PV cells, they remain extremely expensive, delivering electricity at about 30 cents a kilowatt. (Wind power, by comparison, is down to 4 cents a kilowatt, about the same as modern natural-gas plant.)
But theres more to solar power than PV. One of the most promising approaches to large-scale solar-energy production is called "solar thermal," in which huge arrays of mirrored, parabolic troughs focus sunbeams on central tubes, heating oil to 750 degrees to drive steam turbines. "If this country is going to get serious about solar power," says Ferguson, "its going to look more like this than PV."
Since 1985, solar thermal plants in Californias Mojave Desert have been generating 354 megawatts at a cost of about 15 cents a kilowatt-hour. The price could go much lower, supporters say, as more plants are built. "This is the most cost-effective form of solar energy today," says Gary Bailey, West Coast head of Duke Solar, which is seeking to build a 300- to 500-megawatt solar facility in the Mojave, and another in Nevada. The holdup, he says, is lack of demand. "We need long-term contracts."
While the solar trough is the most developed of alternative solar systems, two others are jockeying for position. One is the "power tower," in which thousands of heliostats, or movable mirrors, beam sunlight up to a central tower, powering steam turbines. Other innovators are working on a similar design powering the elusive "Stirling engine," a piston engine driven not by internal combustion but by heat from an outside sourcefor instance, by the sun.
Third on the solar smorgasbord is the dish system, in which parabolic mirrors focus sunlight onto a receiver (they look like satellite dishes) to run a Stirling engine. The technical challenge with this method is finding materials that can withstand temperatures well above 1,000 degrees.
Even so, enthusiasts insist that the main impediment to major advancements in solar energy is lack of political will. "Why do people always think in the short term?" grouses Dukes Bailey. "When you sign up a new natural-gas plant, you dont know how much gas is going to cost in ten years, or even if youll have a supply. But we have the only stable energy source there is; theres no fuel-cost escalation in the sun." Paul Rauber

A week in paradise....
Our extended family has been vacationing on the Vineyard for 20 plus years. This was our first time staying in Vineyard Haven. It was a wonderful experience staying on Hines Point. The house was more than we expected. When we first walked into the house we knew it was going to be a great week. The view is just breathtaking. The house was very beautiful and tastefully decorated. Once we arrived there, there was no reason to leave. We had our own private beach, a gorgeous view, beautiful birds to watch early in the morning, and great walks on Hines Point. Even though we had a full house, there was always space where you could go to have some quiet time. It was perfect. The owner, Mark Galvin, was very easy to work with. He obviously wanted our time there to be wonderful and memorable....and it was!

Villa Flores isn't just a multiple-award-winning affordable senior housing community. It's also the prototype for a group of projects to be built on the same church-owned block in downtown Los Angeles. Gauging from the response to Villa Flores, the future of this block looks mighty bright: The jurors unanimously applauded architect John Mutlow's thoughtful response to a challenging program.
The block's master plan dictated an L-shaped building, one that would edge the street and have a sunny rear courtyard. Mutlow complied, and used protruding floor planes to erode the building's corners a bit. The oversized concrete floor slabs also add shade to the balconies beneath them. His meticulous attention to detail shows in everything from the emergency roof staircase, painted bright red for easy identification from the air, to the xeriscaped courtyard garden, whose design is based on an alluvial plain.
A budget-conscious resourcefulness is evident, too. The metal grid atop the roof contains a mesh filler to mask some mechanical equipment from view; a vertical triangular column of glass both denotes the entry to the building and allows extra natural light into every floor.

What is OAB >> | Types of Incontinence and OAB >>
Overactive bladder (OAB) is a condition where the bladder contracts involuntarily when the bladder is being filled with urine. The muscle contractions may be spontaneous or provoked and often times a person with OAB can not control the muscle contractions, resulting in involuntary loss of urine. Some people also refer to bladder control problems as urinary incontinence. The symptoms of incontinence or OAB may appear singly or together.
More than 33 million Americans suffer from OAB, but as many as 80% of those who have it do not tell family members, loved ones, or their healthcare providers about it. It is important that you do discuss this condition with your doctor since it can be a debilitating, chronic disease. Anyone at any age can have OAB. Some women discover that the leakage of urine occurs after childbirth, when the stress and intense stretching during labor weaken the pelvic muscles and decrease their ability to contract, but there are many other causes as well.
It is important for you to know that OAB is a treatable condition. There are behavioral and medical therapies available that have helped many sufferers of OAB. Your doctor can help diagnose your condition and prescribe a therapy or combination of therapies that is right for you.
To help you better understand OAB it may also be helpful to understand how the bladder works.

The Holiness of Unknowing Ours is a generation of information junkies. We have 24-hour-a-day news shows and Internet sites dedicated to keeping us informed with up-to-the-minute details of the world's events. Through our keyboards, we have countless encyclopedias available at our fingertips to tell us anything we wish to know. In fact, we have a sector of our society dedicated to information technology, which is concerned not with the quality of the information we receive, but with our access to it. One great assumption of our day is that the accumulation of information is a virtue. We know from Adam and Eve's experience with the tree of the knowledge of good and evil that this is not so. That is why King David sang in Psalm 131: David realized that piety required knowing what things one should be content with not knowing, and being content with not knowing them. This applies to things both spiritual and secular. Regarding knowledge of spiritual things, Jesus spoke out against those who would seek after signs and said that no one could know "the day and the hour." St. Anastasios of Sinai described the importance of not seeking to know unknowable spiritual things when he wrote: Being content with not knowing spiritual truths is a part of the apophatic tradition of the Church—the theological approach to understanding Truth by what we do not know. Of the major Christian traditions, Orthodox are particularly content with unknowing. There are also secular truths that we should be content with not knowing. I am not arguing that we should be ignoramuses. Knowledge is a good thing, and advancements in science and technology have allowed us to better understand how to cure diseases and how our world—the world God made for us—works. But our quest for knowledge should have bounds—just as God created bounds in the garden. Some things we should not strive to know, for they belong to God, or our neighbor, or their acquisition requires the violation of moral law, or we would misuse the knowledge when we got it. Just because a thing can be known, does not mean it is a good thing to be known. For example, while hiring a detective to learn intimate knowledge about a friend can be done, that does not mean that it should be done. Scientists refused to use the scientific knowledge on hypothermia acquired through human experiments at German concentration camps in the 1940s because they knew that the knowledge should not have been obtained that way. We should all be content with our state of unknowing, and not concern ourselves with matters too great or things too wonderful for us. We need to know what knowledge is out of bounds for us and avoid it. Let us be careful lest we crash and burn while traveling on the information superhighway. Thomas S. Buchanan is a member of the Orthodox Church and lives in Chester County, Pennsylvania, with his wife and three children.

@NathanG - I like the blue tint of the xenon headlights. They're really striking out on the road, not to mention they just look cool too. They provide superior intensity and clarity in night driving too.
Some people have lights underneath their cars too, in the form of strips, although I guess technically these wouldn't be called headlights.
The xenon lights can be pricey, although you can buy some aftermarket headlights if you're looking for a discount. If you're buying a new car you can request to have xenon lights installed too, although these are usually with the higher end models of whatever car you're buying.

Parker carving own niche
Parker carving own niche
By Scott Brown TRIBUNE-REVIEW Thursday, December 14, 2006 Willie Parker has shown this season why he is worthy of serious Pro Bowl consideration. The third-year running back said Wednesday he also has proven something to himself while rushing for nearly 1,200 yards and scoring 13 touchdowns: that he can drive even though Jerome Bettis is not backing him up and providing guidance. "It was real important for me just to get away from him a little bit," Parker said, "to show people I can make it on my own." Not that Parker isn't grateful for what Bettis did for him while the two were with the Steelers. Bettis helped the undrafted free agent out of North Carolina go from raw talent to refined product even though it meant losing his starting job to Parker last season. This season, Parker has joined Bettis and Franco Harris as the only backs in Steelers' history to rush for 1,000 yards in consecutive seasons. Of Bettis, Parker said, "I miss him dearly." He added that he dedicated the 223-yard rushing performance he had last Thursday against the Browns to Bettis, who recently lost his father. Parker said he simply wanted to do for Bettis what Bettis had done for him so many times: lift him up. "Last year, I had somebody helping me every step of the way," Parker said. "This year, I kind of graduated, I moved forward, so I had to ask myself, 'Am I doing things right?' " His mentor would probably answer in the affirmative. Parker's teammates certainly do. "I'm a huge Willie Parker fan," wide receiver Hines Ward said. "Any running back who's gotten over 1,000 yards here, everybody praised and loved him, but it seems like people still doubt that he can be a legitimate running back. Willie's had a phenomenal year." http://www.pittsburghlive.com/x/pitt.../s_484051.html

Nutrient to Know: Zinc
by Dana Angelo White in Nutrients to Know, November 14, 2011You may have heard of this trace mineral but do you know how important it is to your health? Get the facts about zinc.
What is it?
Zinc is plentiful in foods like oysters, beef, pork and chicken, but it can also be found in nuts, yogurt and beans.
Zinc supplements are often taken to boost immunity and fight symptoms of the common cold. While there's a small amount of research to support that zinc lozenges might decrease the duration of a cold, their effectiveness is not well established.
Why is it good for you?
The body relies on zinc to assist with energy production, growth and immunity so just about every cell in your body requires some. Not getting enough of this mineral can lead to depressed immune function, decreased appetite and poor growth. Weight loss, hair loss and altered sense of taste are some of the symptoms associated with severe deficiencies. On the flip side, getting too much can be harmful too, leading to nausea and vomiting, headaches and a decrease in "good" HDL cholesterol.
Where can you find it?
The daily recommendation for healthy adults is 15 milligrams of zinc. Get your daily dose from these foods:
6 oysters = 77 milligrams = 513%
3 ounces crab meat (cooked) = 43 milligrams = 287%
¾ cup fortified breakfast cereal = 3.8 milligrams* = 25%
3 ounces pork tenderloin (cooked) = 2.5 milligrams = 17%
1 cup low fat yogurt = 1.6 milligrams = 11%
1 ounce almonds = 1.0 milligram = 7%
*Fortification amounts in cereal may vary – check labels
