Kids' Comics: Little Mouse, Rose, Muppet Show, Toy Story, Lunch Lady

Little Mouse Gets Ready
by Jeff Smith, Toon Books, $12.95 US
Due out in September, K-2 audience
The latest Toon book maintains the high quality of their line of hardcover comics for kids. The situation is simple: a mouse needs to get dressed so he can go to the barn with his family. He puts on his clothes, one piece at a time, sharing the struggles many kids do — getting the arm in the sleeve right, making the buttons match. The sneakers are Velcro, so no need to tie bows any more. Reading this, it seemed as if Beatrix Potter had been inspired by a Dressy Bessy doll. Not a bad thing at all, especially given the delicate details of the art. The surprise ending captures the blend of whimsy and practicality found in Smith's Bone series, while the starring mouse is simply adorable.
Bone: Rose
by Jeff Smith and Charles Vess, Graphix, $10.99 US
Skewing somewhat older is Smith's Bone prequel, the story of Gran'ma Ben when she was the young Princess Rose.
Charles Vess is deservedly well-known for his beautiful fantasy art, and his work here gives the tale gravitas and a sense of agelessness. Rose and her sister Briar are being groomed for their eventual queenship. Their training includes tales of days of dragons and the magic power of dreams. There are also talking dogs and a handsome guard captain and strange creatures and battles and omens. It's a pleasure to see such a lovely modern fairy tale focus on young women with such leadership and bravery.
It's lacking the humor of the original series, with none of the little white lumpy people to liven things up, and I suspect the events are more meaningful to those who have already read the Bone saga. The conclusion comes a little too quickly, with punishment doled out abruptly, but those looking for an adventure story in the mold of classic fantasy should enjoy it.
The Muppet Show: Meet the Muppets
by Roger Langridge, Boom! Studios, $9.99 US
Due out in October
The first four Muppet Show comics are collected, and they're genius. They capture the characters perfectly, with the four main — Kermit (who misses his old home pond), Fozzie (struggling to reinvent his act by using historical models), Gonzo (unidentifiable insurance risk!), and Miss Piggy (concerned about the future of her relationship with Kermit) — each getting a spotlight. The book is so packed, though, that plenty of other cast members appear.
Each page or two is a different bit of business, evoking so many favorite gags: Veterinarian's Hospital, Pigs in Space, Muppet Labs, the Swedish Chef, Rowlf, the newscaster, the band, the planet Koozebane, Sam the Eagle, and of course, Statler and Waldorf. The book is stuffed with humor and skits, just like the original show, plus "awww" moments of friendship and memory. I hadn't realized how much I missed seeing new bits with these characters until this comic got it all so right. Who would have thought that you could do a musical sketch in a silent comic so well? (I'd also forgotten how cool the talking houses were until they cameo'ed.)
Of course, all this success is due to Langridge's art. The Muppets look like people and like puppets at the same time. He illustrates the attitudes and gestures that make each character unique while still drawing them in keeping with their "real life" appearance. He also puts in verbal humor, sight gags, and all possible kinds of silliness.
This collection is highly recommended for all ages. If you ever enjoyed the Muppets, you'll love it.
The first issue of the next miniseries, The Treasure of Peg Leg Wilson, is out now and also recommended. Scooter finds a treasure map indicating something buried under the theater, which sets off a gold rush among the rats, and Animal gets civilized. Plus, a tap-dancing ninja! Sadly, I've found the Muppet Robin Hood title not nearly as good, probably due to the different creators and the lack of flexibility in retelling an established story.
Toy Story: The Mysterious Stranger
by Dan Jolley and Chris Moreno, Boom! Studios, $9.99 US
Due out in September
This is another entry in Boom!'s licensed kids line, and it skews younger than the Muppets. Or perhaps it's more accurate to say that the simpler stories likely won't have the same all-ages appeal.
Don't get me wrong, these are cute stories well-told with familiar characters. But the premises aren't multi-layered; they're just simple problem-solving, as when the toys try to figure out what a mysterious egg in the bedroom is. Another has them dealing with a new member of the household, a dog who knows their secret.
In every case, at least some of the toys wind up seeming needy and insecure. That's part of the character for the dinosaur, but when it extends to more, I find it overdone. This might be a case where it's better to read the issues individually month-to-month, because the repetition of the theme wouldn't be as obvious.
The second story, where the toys have to repair Andy's science fair project after they accidentally break it, is the best of the lot because it gives them more to do other than stand around and worry. (Caveat: the fourth story in the book, described as "Mr. Potato Head decides that he's … going to reveal his walking-and-talking nature to Andy!", wasn't available for review, so maybe that one's just as good. It certainly sounds interesting.) In the second story, Hamm gets upset over his identity and having to hide the ability to talk from people. It adds some thought-provoking depth to the adventure and makes it memorable.
Although I found the first story the weakest, it does have a fun, well-cartooned action/chase sequence that gives most of the toys neat things to do. Also, they need to use the soldiers more, because I love them.
Lunch Lady
by Jarrett J. Krosoczka, Knopf Books for Young Readers, $5.99 US
Audience ages 7-12
The first two books in this new series were released simultaneously, a neat strategy to give interested young readers more to enjoy. Lunch Lady is a crimefighter when she's not dishing out school lunches. Her co-worker Betty makes her gadgets, which include a moped that spews sloppy joe instead of an oil slick or a spatula that rotates fast enough to become a mini-copter or a spork phone or taco-shaped night vision goggles. Lunch Lady uses these tools to protect the kids in her school, whether from everyday bullies or other teachers gone mad.
The interiors are black-and-white with toning and highlights in shades of yellow, an eye-catching combination. The art style is simple, as though a child could draw it, which belies the skill on display in storytelling and pacing. There's also plenty of imagination in the content, straight-forward adventure stories in a setting most kids can relate to.
Each book starts with a simple "stop the villain" (you know they're bad guys because they have hoods over their heads) sequence to establish the character before starting the main plot. In Lunch Lady and the Cyborg Substitute, the math teacher is replaced by a robot as part of a devious plan to remove popular instructors. Lunch Lady and the League of Librarians, aside from being more fun to say, features the book-lovers teaming up to destroy video games. It's full of creative images and gadgets, with plenty of homages to favorite titles.
The publisher is clearly expecting big things from this new series — there are already movie plans, with Amy Poehler starring.

It is not uncommon to see political caricature pictures drawn in the newspaper. I don't keep up with the political scene all that much, so sometimes I have trouble figuring out who they drew a picture of.
If it wasn't for the caption that goes along with the picture, I might not know who it was supposed to be.
I know there is a difference in quality when it comes to caricature drawings. For an artist to have their work in major newspapers, they have to be pretty good at what they do.
They must also have a pretty good sense of humor to take an image and exaggerate it the way they do.

Daniel M. Benjamin focuses on complex civil litigation. Mr. Benjamin's work encompasses class action defense, real estate disputes, regulatory litigation, commercial and federal receiverships, and general commercial litigation. He has practiced extensively in both California and the Pacific Islands.
Mr. Benjamin's recent representations include acting as the lead attorney in obtaining dismissals with prejudice of competing class and mass tort securities actions seeking hundreds of millions of dollars in damages against an international real estate broker regarding a major hotel condominium development. He also helped secure the recent dismissal of a major utility from a class action concerning millions of residents affected by a blackout that struck four counties in Southern California in 2011. He is actively litigating numerous other consumer class actions and has successfully litigated others through dismissal, appeal, and favorable settlements.
Mr. Benjamin's real estate, commercial, and financial litigation experience also includes a cross-border, multibillion-dollar lender liability suit involving an international developer that settled in his client's favor; successful representation of a client in a failed multimillion-dollar real estate partnership; and securing commercial receiverships on behalf of financial institutions and special servicers. Mr. Benjamin frequently represents federal receivers in Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and Federal Trade Commission (FTC) actions, and has recovered millions on behalf of defrauded parties.
In the Pacific Islands, Mr. Benjamin previously served as outside counsel for the governor of a Pacific Islands territory in a number of matters, including obtaining the successful resolution of competing class actions seeking over $300 million from that territory's government and dismissal with prejudice of several other sizeable class actions. His diverse experience in the region also includes the successful representations of minority shareholders in one of the largest hotels in Saipan, and representation of a leading bank in the region in claims concerning its former fiduciaries. Mr. Benjamin has appeared pro hac throughout Micronesia, securing a multimillion-dollar settlement on his client's behalf with the Federated States of Micronesia.
In the public-interest arena, Mr. Benjamin represents the family and estate of a woman who died after being shot by her husband, a sheriff's deputy. He served as the lead attorney in successfully briefing and arguing two simultaneous appeals in that case, with the Ninth Circuit ruling in favor of his clients in both appeals in a decision published as Maxwell v. County of San Diego, __ F.3d __, Ninth Cir. Appeals Nos. 10-56671 & 56706 (9th Cir. Feb. 14, 2013).
Pro Bono Experience
Mr. Benjamin maintains an active pro bono practice. A member of Ballard Spahr's Pro Bono Committee, he represents a partially paralyzed inmate in a case concerning deprivation of medical care and retaliation. He also is a member of the pro bono panel for the Southern District of California.

Write a ReviewAwesome Bamboo Sheets!
By Nora S. from Jacksonville, FL on Feb 06, 2012
Bargain Hunter
These sheets are really soft but a lot tougher than they look. So far, they seem to be living up to their claim of keeping me cooler in the bed at nighttime (I have one of those memory foam tops that gets too warm while I'm sleeping).
I plan to buy more of these sheets but have to wait until they are on sale as they are way out of my price range otherwise.
Also, it would be nice if they came in more colors.

Formula Three driver Jaime Alguersuari will get his first taste of a Formula One car next weekend as he carries out a straight-line test for Red Bull in Spain. Alguersuari will stand in for the team's test and reserve driver, Sebastien Buemi, who is to compete in the GP2 event ahead of the Turkish Grand Prix at Istanbul Park.
The 18 year-old Red Bull junior driver will be charged with carrying out some vital test runs at the Idiada proving ground facility, located near the Spanish city of Barcelona. He will follow in the footsteps of Canadas Robert Wickens and New Zealander Brendan Hartley, who also recently got their first chance to trial a Formula One car with Red Bull.
Spaniard Alguersuari is currently lying third in the British International Formula Three championship, driving for Carlin Motorsport. Last season he finished second in the Italian Formula Renault series and fifth in the European Renault series, and has recently been nominated for Spains prestigious Gillette Future Champion Award.

"The Price is Right," "Dexter"
Jennifer Carpenter and Michael C. Hall in "Dexter."
Bob Barker may have been concerned about household pets when he was hosting "The Price Is Right" (10 a.m. Friday, WCCO, Ch. 4), but he never seemed to care about the fact that all the showcase models were women. That's about to change. In this episode, replacement host Drew Carey will reveal the male finalists vying for a chance to look cute in front of a brand new car.
Back to the futureIf you're new to "Fringe" (8 p.m. Friday, KMSP, Ch. 9), which is in its fifth and final season, you will be as confounded as someone who tries to decipher a William Faulkner novel by reading only the last chapter. Long-term fans will find themselves shuttled into the year 2036 with only a minimal number of headaches.
Carrey almightyJim Carrey may be a terrific actor, but I'm not sure he's an ideal house guest. The comic's mugging nearly derails an "All-Star Comedy Roundtable" (9 p.m. Friday, Epix), which also features Chris Rock, Ben Stiller and Bill Hader.
The truth is out thereIf anyone can keep a secret, it's "Dexter" (8 p.m. Sunday, Showtime). But even our favorite serial killer (Michael C. Hall) can no longer hide his hidden hobby from his foul-mouthed sister (Jennifer Carpenter) in this seventh season of a series that needs a twist this big to keep the show fresh.

China - A female scooter rider killed a man by squeezing his testicles for the packing dispute, in Haikou City, Hainan Province. It was learned, the woman, 41 years old, rode on her scooter to an elementary school in Meilan District, Haikou City to pick up her child that day. When she wanted to pack her scooter in front of a shop, she was rejected by the shop owner, a 42-year-old male. The two parties soon fell into a quarrel, and then the physical confrontation. The furious woman called up her husband and brother to come help her, which resulted in a more violent fist fight. During the fight, the middle aged woman manged to grab the man's testicles, and squeezed them till he finally collapsed on the ground. The man was immediately rushed to hospital, but unfortunately died there despite of efforts.
Fuck fire, drowning, shark attack, freezing, illness. This is easily the worst way to die right here. Easily. I mean not only are you getting your nuts squeezed to the point of blackout death which is probably the worst pain imaginable, but you also lost the battle for the parking space to a fuckin chick on a scooter. Double whammy. In fact I'm not even sure what's worse. The dying or the humiliation of losing your spot. Seriously if some chick murdered my ass with a nut grab after stealing my parking spot with her scooter I'd fuckin kill myself. The ultimate emasculation. I guess it all comes down to who was there first and how they tried to park? Did this dude try to sneak in from the back? You can't do that. You can't sneak in from the back like that. Can't put it in head first when I'm backing up. Can't do it. What am I supposed to do now? Put it in a garage? Not gonna happen. A garage. I can't even pull in there.It's like going to a prostitute. Why should I pay, when if I apply myself, maybe I could get it for free?

Highly recommended for casual birding
First, a short primer on binocs in general.There are two basic types of binoculars. These are Porro prism and roof prism.

Article brought to you by: Catholic Online (www.catholic.org)China's new railways carry 453 million passengers in its first quarter
By Catholic Online (NEWS CONSORTIUM)
April 10th, 2012 Catholic Online (www.catholic.org) There's certainly one thing China has the United States, and the entire
western world beat: the utilization of public transport, in particular,
its railways. According to official data, China's railways transported
some 453.25 million passengers during the first quarter of the year, up
0.7 percent from a year earlier. To meet the demand of industrial production and the people's basic needs, the ministry has prioritized the delivery of major essential goods. In an official tally, the country's railways transported 594.07 million tons of coal, 34.62 million tons of oil, 27.1 million tons of grain and 27.58 million tons of fertilizers and pesticides in the first three months. Passenger rail transport is one of the principal means of transport in the People's Republic of China, with 1.456 billion railway trips taken in 2008. It is operated by the Ministry of Railways of the PRC. The Spring Festival Travel Season is the peak railway travel season of the year. China is currently redeveloping its entire railway network to produce a modern high-speed network. By the end of 2010 China expects to have a railway network length covering 91,000 km, including over 8,000 km capable for 200+ km/h running. .

A Week On The Wrist: The Linde Werdelin SpidoSpeed Chronograph
Always a fan favorite, Linde Werdelin made a name for itself with the introduction of the skeletonized SpidoLite wristwatch in 2009, conceived after a trip up Mt. Everest. At Basel World 2011, we were given a look at the second member of the Spido family and the brand's first chronograph, the SpidoSpeed. Just last month, I was given one of the first SpidoSpeed chronographs to leave production to wear around New York and review. What I found is a watch that offers buyers a new option in the rugged chrono category - one dominated by AP and Hublot - but one that does it in a thoughtful way. Click through for my Week on the Wrist with Linde Werdelin's SpidoSpeed chronograph.

Bees Create a Buzz in Central El Paso
El Paso — A swarm of bees created quite a buzz in central El Paso Thursday morning. Firefirghters and EMT's rushed to the intersection of Hadlock Street and Dunne Avenue after receiving reports that several people had been stung. Firefighters found thousands of bees outside the back of a house. Three people and three dogs were stung multiple times, but fortunately no one was hospitalized. However, firefighters say calling them should be a last resort.
"If you have an issue with bees and they haven't stung anybody, make sure to get a professional. We don't want to come out here because when we come out to take care of the situation we're going to kill the bees. We exterminate them. Get a professional. They'll take the queen and they'll take the bees with them," said Ramon Valencia with the El Paso Fire Department.
All three of the dogs was taken to an animal hospital to be checked out by a vet. Firefighters say if you're attacked, cover your face, run into a nearby building or vehicle, and don't swat the bees.

My first exposure to Peet's was a gift of your Scottish Breakfast tea. I have been hooked ever since! This elegant blend of China and India teas reminds me of my grandmother and brings back happy memories of childhood. Thank you! Please package it in the 4oz tins again. It stays fresher longer.

Scottish Breakfast is by far my favorite tea. Its rich smoky flavor braces me when coffee just won't do the trick. I was very disappointed when I couldn't buy more in the Peet's store. Please bring it back in your lineup. Thanks

i had always been an Irish breakfast tea drinker in the morning until I noticed your Scottish variety one day at Anderson & Co., our local coffee and tea shop in Austin. It is now my favorite - i can enjoy the smokiness of a peaty Isley single malt in the morning without the concerns that starting my day with Scotch might understandably raise!
- Anthony Maggi , drinking Peet's since The ' 5/7/14
- Anacortes, WA
I've been drinking your Scottish Breakfast Blend since you opened and I could walk down the hill from my Aunt's house on Eunice St to Walnut Square in Berkeley. I have ordered from wherever I've lived in the world or had someone visiting from the states be sure to bring a pound or two along.... Hawaii, Australia, Fiji, Vietnam! It is unique and perhaps it would be good to put it back in your lineup.
I live up in the San Juan's now and believe me, on those howling winters morning in Jan. when the trees are threatening to go east and the ocean's looking like a latte through the snow, there's nothing more comforting than that strange bouquet and bracing bite of your Scottish blend!
I do hope you get enough of a response to put it back in the lineup!

King of meats
Not even the Joker could resist Francis Bacon, famously sparing Figure with Meat in his art-wrecking rampage in Tim Burton's 1989 Batman with the words "I kind of like this one . . . leave it". Now the Art Gallery of NSW is banking on this appeal of the British master (well Irish, but a Londoner; they claim him as they claim Scottish tennis player Andy Murray) to decorate its coffers. Drawn from 37 collections, Francis Bacon: five decades is a home-grown retrospective, which is fitting given the many Australian links. Patrick White knew Bacon as a fledgling interior decorator wearing pancake before his breakthrough 1944 Three Studies for Figures at the Base of a Crucifixion, the visual equivalent of T. S. Eliot's Wasteland. And Brett Whiteley's debt is apparent in every curve. The two met when Whiteley arrived in London in 1960. In fact, Whiteley almost swapped his entire 1964 Bathroom show for a single Bacon painting. The appreciation wasn't entirely mutual. Bacon later bought a Whiteley and studied it for three weeks before telling his friend he'd failed and discarding it. The question is how much Bacon is too much; the Tate's 2008 retrospective was almost offputting in scale. Ends February 24.
Golden years
The once-in-a-generation band Radiohead plays the last of its small but perfectly formed, six-concert tour in Melbourne on Saturday night, which will no doubt throw anyone lucky enough to score a ticket into withdrawal. Every last stub was spoken for within minutes of the tour going on sale, so rumours that this tour may be their last here are distressing but unfounded, says promoter Michael Chugg, who started touring the band in the early 1990s. They are as committed to their art as ever, he says; give it a few years and they'll be back, if not quite on the 18-monthly roster Elton John manages. Monday's show certainly suggested he may be right. They played with all the urgency, and majesty, of a band in its prime, making a club of an arena and barely touching a back catalogue most bands would be thrilled to mine for the rest of their lives.
Northern exposure
The early reports are great on the Queensland Art Gallery's retrospective of the artist many consider Australia's greatest, that adoptive son of the north, Ian Fairweather (our claim to the Scottish-born artist has to be as strong as Britain's to Andy Murray, after all). Late Works 1953-74 features, as the title suggests, the late paintings Fairweather made while living on Bribie Island between 1953 and his death. The period is considered his apotheosis as an artist, and includes the biblical Gethsemane, which hung above Patrick White's desk, and which the writer donated to the Art Gallery of NSW in 1974. Apparently it looks pretty spiffing reunited with its Bribie Island siblings, which will make a few wonder why, given its provenance, it was allowed to escape during a hasty bit of AGNSW deaccessioning. Ends March 3.
Women and the west
OK, it's a lot of visual arts in one week, but we didn't want to let the University of Western Australia's admirable Look. Look Again go entirely unremarked. Drawn from its Cruthers Collection of Women's Art, and held in its serene and light-filled Lawrence Wilson Art Gallery, the show spans 125 years, and includes works by Nora Heysen, Joy Hester, Tracey Moffatt, Julie Dowling and Michelle Nikou. It coincides with a few exhibitions on women's art around the world, perhaps a reaction to the amount of pink being foisted upon the younger generation. Ends December 15.
Signs of snoozing
"Stick to your day job" is one of those cruel jibes made to people who can't sing or dance, but try it anyway. At the risk of offending a national treasure, it's the thought that sprang to mind while watching Tim Winton's second play, Signs of Life, which opened in Perth in August and is now playing the Sydney Opera House until December 22. Writing that seems poetic and insightful in a novel feels clichéd on stage, leaving quality actors such as Heather Mitchell and Aaron Pedersen with little room to move. Andrew Bovell's award-winning play When the Rain Stops Falling, alas, it is not.

MEDFORD, Ore. — At least 60 drivers drifted for a good cause on Saturday. The event kicked off a week of events for the 2014 Medford Cruise. Organizers say the event at the Jackson County Sports Park is the largest drifting event in the Northwest. This year attendance is reportedly up, meaning more money will be raised to help local children in need.
"The Medford Cruise to me is an absolute win win. Not only do we get to come out here enjoy our automotive hobby, but we also get to raise a lot of money for a lot of really excellent local charities. Every dollar raised by the Medford Cruise goes directly to local youth charities," said President Corey Harris.
This year a new kind of drifting was added. Tandem drifting was first made popular in Japan.

Angel Rangel expects Manchester United to treat their Premier League clash with Swansea like a cup final as they look to bounce back.
The Red Devils are on a run of three straight defeats in all competitions, the second of which came at the hand of Michael Laudrup's Swansea side in the FA Cup last weekend.
A fourth successive loss when the Swans visit Old Trafford in the Premier League on Saturday would make this United's worst run since 1961, and their hopes of retaining their title appear all but over as they trail leaders Arsenal by 11 points.
But right-back Rangel has no doubts regarding the calibre of the United squad, and expects a fierce encounter in front of a fired-up Old Trafford crowd.
"I think United have still got a good number of superstars but things probably haven't worked out as they expected," he said.
"It's a difficult situation for them but when you have important players like Robin van Persie injured it is a difficult situation.
"They are still a top team and going to be a very difficult test for us.
"We have nothing to lose. The pressure is on them but the fact we won there last weekend probably makes this a more difficult game.
"The crowd will be even louder for them. They will be treating playing us like a cup final as they really need the win."
Swansea are 13th in the Premier League table, just four points above the drop zone and if results go against them this weekend that margin could be down to just one.
Rangel admits the Swans need to start picking up points, but feels it is the games that come after the trip to United which will be crucial as they look to pull away from the bottom three.
"We need points," he said. "We are not in a really bad position having dropped points against Villa, Stoke, Norwich, teams we should have beaten.
"It won't be the end of the world if we go to United and lose as we are playing away and they are fighting for the top four.
"It is not a worry but after the United game we could be a point point off relegation.
"We have got a good enough squad. There are 18 games to go and we have to be realistic, but we can get the points we need.
"We just need to start winning games at home and the Liberty has always been a fortress for us."

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
The Belgian Hare is a fancy breed of domestic rabbit, that was developed through selective breeding to closely resemble the wild hare in physical appearance.[1] Averaging 6 to 9 pounds in weight, the Belgian Hare is characterized by its long, slender body and agile legs that closely resemble those of a hare, and can live up to ten years or more.
The first Belgian Hares were bred in Belgium in the early 18th century out of selective breeding between domestic and wild European rabbits, with the intent of creating a practical meat rabbit. In 1874, they were imported to England and called the "Belgian Hare." English breeders made the Belgian Hare appear more spirited, like wild English rabbits. By 1877 the first Belgian Hares were shown in America, where it immediately rose in popularity, giving rise to thousands of Belgian Hare clubs around the country, thousands were bred, and some sold for as much as 1,000 US dollars.
The first of these clubs was known as the "American Belgian Hare Association". With a wide and scattered membership the club lasted not much more than a year. In 1897 the "National Belgian Hare Club" was formed. Twelve years after the formation of the National Belgian Hare Club of America, and as additional breeds were introduced in the US, a new "all-breed" club, the "National Pet Stock Association" was formed. After several name changes, the National Pet Stock Association became the American Rabbit Breeders Association As years passed, the National Belgian Hare club of America also passed from existence. In June, 1972, a group of Belgian Hare breeders gathered together to apply for a specialty club charter from the American Rabbit Breeders Association to replace the National Belgian Hare Club of America. In July, 1972, the charter was granted and the last, and most prominent of these groups, the "American Belgian Hare Club" was established, that continues to exist to this day.
In 1917, their popularity began to fade away, and one of the reasons attributed to this decline is the failed attempt by many breeders to turn the Belgian Hare, a naturally race rabbit, into a meat rabbit, a role to which they were physically and behaviourally unsuited. However, today, true Belgian Hares are rare, due partly to the degree of difficulty many have had in breeding them.
The Belgian Hare is most known for its distinctively close resemblance to a hare, with a long, fine body with muscular flank, and distinctly arched back with loins and well-rounded hind quarters. Their head is long and their tail straight and carried in line with the backbone. The fore feet of a Belgian Hare is usually long and fine-boned and perfectly straight, while their hind feet long are fine and flat. They are believed to be the only breed of domestic breed featuring a deep red, rich chestnut color of the Belgian Hare, together with black ticking of a wavy or blotchy appearance and an extended down the sides.[2]
Due to their difference from other breeds of domestic rabbit, the Belgian Hare may require different dietary and housing requirements to other rabbits, and as a result, they may demand more attention and care.
Due to their size and energetic nature, it is recommended that the Belgian Hare be provided with a large hutch or cage to enable them to move freely. For an outdoor rabbit the ideal home is a wooden hutch made of a heavy wood with a waterproof roof, and raised off the ground. If the rabbit is going to live indoors then a wooden hutch can also be used or a cage. They should have a cage with at least a 24 by 60-inch floor for it to run around in and a height of 24 inches. A breeding or brood cage should be 36 by 72 inches, at least. In addition, the floor needs to be solid, as opposed to wire, to support the Belgian Hare's feet. The cage should have proper ventilation, and a plastic or wire base with a wire lid fixed to the base. Add straw, shredded paper or anything similar for the bottom of the cage. It is important for your Belgian Hare to stretch and one good way to ensure this is to have their water placed high in the cage
All rabbits must have an adequate exercise area, whether it is an outside run or an enclosed area in the house. Softwood shavings should not be used for the floor of the hutch or cage as they can cause respiratory problems. Fine sawdust can cause eye irritations so this should be avoided. Bedding material should be provided especially in cold and wet weather for the outdoor rabbit. A recommended practise is to place the straw on top of a layer of the hardwood shavings in the sleeping compartment, in order to ensure warmth and insulation for an outdoor Belgian Hare. The rabbit home should be cleaned out weekly and any old food removed. If it is necessary to wash the home then only use a cleaner specifically designed for cleaning rabbit hutches.
The Belgian Hare has a short coat and if kept clean, requires little grooming other than an occasional rub over to remove any dead coat. When in moult the coat benefits from a good combing through every other day to remove the old coat. This will help bring the new coat through faster and minimize the old fluffy undercoat matting up when it's on its way out.
The Belgian Hare is one of the most intelligent and energetic rabbits. Rabbits can become trained to learn their name. Due to their active nature and alert temperament, they can very easily be startled by sudden noise or movement,[3] and a recommended practise by owners of this breed is to have a radio constantly playing near them, so they can get used to noise. As a result of their active personality, they have been called "the poor man's racehorse".[3] The Belgian Hare is known to be responsive to handling, particularly when trained from an early age, however, it is recommended that the Belgian Hare should not be handled by children mainly due to their large size and speed that may cause injury.
As the Belgian Hare has a very high metabolic rate, it may require more food and more consistent feeding than other breeds of domestic rabbit. The specific dietary requirements of a Belgian Hare do not differ significantly from other breeds of domestic rabbit, and like the majority of rabbits, the most important component of the diet of a Belgian Hare is hay, a roughage that reduces the chance of blockages and malocclusion whilst providing indigestible fiber necessary to keep the gut moving. Grass hays such as timothy are generally preferred over legume hays like clover and alfalfa. Legume hays are higher in protein, calories, and calcium, which in excess can cause kidney stones and loose stool. This type of hay should be reserved for young kits or lactating does.
It is recommended that the Belgian Hare, like other rabbits, receive a standard intake of 2 cups of chopped dark, green, leafy vegetables per 6 pounds of body weight (although this should be provided after four months of age to prevent enteritis) and up to 2 tablespoons of fruit or carrots per 6 pounds of body weight daily. It is common for some owners to provide treats, although in very limited quantities, which can include a few pellets, a slice of strawberry, or other healthy foods. Commercial treats are available in the pet stores can be fed, but owneers should stay away from anything with a yoghurt coating, or other ingredients that the rabbit would not encounter in the wild. Some of the vegetables that rabbits enjoy are romaine lettuce, escarole, turnips, collard, kale, parsley, thyme, cilantro, dandelion, and basil. The green, leafy tops of radish and carrots also are excellent sources of nutrients, but should be fed sparingly due to the high calcium content. New vegetables should be introduced slowly due to the delicate digestive systems of rabbits. It is recommended that cauliflower, broccoli and cabbage be avoided, as they cause gas and can lead to gastrointestinal stasis, which can be fatal. Vegetables such as potatoes and corn should also avoided due to their high starch content. Belgian Hares also require an unlimited amount of fresh water, usually provided for in a water crock, tip-proof ceramic pet dish, or hanging water bottle.
The ideal age for the female Belgian Hare to start breeding is about 9 months of age, and can produce large litters of between 4 to 8 babies, with a gestation period of between 28 to 31 days. On average, they give birth at 30 to 32 days.
As different bucks and does react to the breeding situation differently, one must be prepared to adapt their breeding practices to the Hare's preferences.
Like all rabbits, Belgian Hares are induced ovulators (a doe can immediately ovulate at the time of breeding). However, the doe has a 10-14 day receptivity cycle. During her receptivity period she will accept the buck readily. A receptive doe can be identified by the dark pink, moist, appearance of her vulva. If you have a receptive doe to breed, by all means, try placing her in your buck's cage first, but watch them carefully. In many instances, the buck, the doe, or both animals can become so upset by the appearance of the other Hare, that they will either attack (and you will have a real fight on your hands) or retreat to a corner and cower.
A method of breeding used very successfully by some breeders is the "honeymoon cottage". In this method, a large cage, at least 60 inches long is partitioned into two parts with a plywood wall. The smaller part should be about 18 inches long, and the larger, 42 inches. The plywood wall should have a 6 inch round hole through it at the doe's shoulder height. A clean, sterilized cage should be used so that there are no other animal odors on it. In other words, the cage should be "neutral ground". It is recommended that the doe and buck be placed together for 10 – 14 days to bond with each other, and eventually mate. Initially, it is expected that the two may chase each other around back and forth through the hole, and after a while, the doe will discover that when the buck's amorous advances became too much, she can defend her territory, i.e., her side of the cage, by standing with her head in the hole. They will mate when both buck and does are ready. Ten to fourteen days through her gestation period, the buck should be removed, and the larger part of the cage should be cleaned, leaving the cardboard covered smaller part alone. After a while, the doe will make a nest on the floor of the darkened, smaller, part of the cage, and conceive at the end of her gestation period. Following a period of eight weeks after the conception, it is recommended that the litter be weaned by removing the doe, and the doe and buck be separated.

The mechanism by which newly synthesized histones are imported into the nucleus and deposited onto replicating chromatin alongside segregating nucleosomal counterparts is poorly understood, yet this program is expected to bear on the putative epigenetic nature of histone post-translational modifications. To define the events by which naive pre-deposition histones are imported into the nucleus, we biochemically purified and characterized the full gamut of histone H3.1-containing complexes from human cytoplasmic fractions and identified their associated histone post-translational modifications. Through reconstitution assays, biophysical analyses and live cell manipulations, we describe in detail this series of events, namely the assembly of H3-H4 dimers, the acetylation of histones by the HAT1 holoenzyme and the transfer of histones between chaperones that culminates with their karyopherin-mediated nuclear import. We further demonstrate the high degree of conservation for this pathway between higher and lower eukaryotes.

Gary Moore
Current role: President and COO, Cisco
Moore in 2011 became Cisco's first chief operating officer, and he was no less than the architect of Cisco's massive corporate restructuring, which helped the company refocus on core priorities, streamline itself where it had become fat and lumpy, and restore growth -- however modest -- when some of Cisco's biggest competitors have hit the skids and stayed there.
Moore, who Chambers said would be the one to take the reins if he should suddenly have to step down, is an admirable choice. Against him are two things: At 63, he and Chambers are the same age, and when he became COO, scuttlebutt among the Cisco faithful was that he was not interested in the top job. Did that change?
As solution providers position themselves for growth, the pressure is on vendors and distributors to meet their partners' needs. Here CRN presents the 2015 Channel Chiefs, our annual look at the executives responsible for running channels at today's IT vendors.

Dillon the GZM
GZM is being stripped off as a GM. As he made a mistake of returning account and item when BlurMilo account was hacked. We player of Goonzu, feel that GZM should be forgiven, as people make mistake, n GM is also a human being. Goonzu cannot do without GZM. As he's the only 1 that listen to player opinions n he's always been active in giving us event n dark army. He has never been late from giving out shares and dark army. As mention above, he gave BlurMilo back all the stuff when he was hacked, but since now he's already taken back the stuff. i think it's only fair that he won't be fired as a GM. As this petition below, it'll show how much we players want him back as a GZM. Believe me NDOORS, if GZM leave, a lot of high level player will leave.

Ottawa Fury FC Add Heinemann, Ubiparipovic To 2014 Roster
The NASL's Ottawa Fury FC made significant additions to the club today announcing the signings of forward Tom Heinemann and midfielder Sinisa Ubiparipovic, pending international transfer.
Heinemann joins Fury FC from the Vancouver Whitecaps, while Ubiparipovic comes to Ottawa from the neighboring Montreal Impact where he also garnered NASL experience while on loan at Minnesota United FC during the 2013 season. Collectively, the pair bring more than 125 games of MLS experience to the Nation's Capital ahead of the club's inaugural season.
"I would like to thank OSEG, Marc Dos Santos, and Martin Nash for the opportunity to join Ottawa Fury FC," said Heinemann. "This is a special time for the City of Ottawa and I am honoured to be part of this club, especially in its inaugural season. Marc is building a great team and I look forward to getting started."
Heinemann, 26, is a 6'4 forward who brings a wealth of North American soccer experience to Fury FC. The St. Louis, MI native featured in 14 games for the Whitecaps last season after beginning his MLS career in Columbus in 2011 playing two seasons and 31 games for the Crew. Some other highlights for Heinemann included helping the Charleston Battery to the USL-2 championship in 2010 and being a central piece in the Carolina RailHawks run to the final - also in 2010 - where he was named MVP of the championship game.
"Tom has scored with every team he's played for and at all levels in North America - PDL, NASL, MLS," said Fury FC Head Coach Marc Dos Santos. "He's only reaching his prime age now and we believe he will grow a lot in our environment. He's a very hard working forward, very honest in his game and definitely a team player. He will help this organization both on and off the field."
"Sinisa, our second signing, is a very technical and gifted player," said Dos Santos. "He will bring another dimension and different options to our midfield. He's a great character with a lot of MLS experience. The type of player that any NASL expansion team would need."
Ubiparipovic, 30, is a 5'9 midfielder who brings valuable experience to the club with over five seasons of MLS experience. His three seasons with the New York Red Bulls were highlighted by a trip to the 2008 MLS Cup Final. In 2011, with the Montreal Impact of the NASL, Ubiparipovic was recognized by his team as the newcomer of the year. The native of Zenica, Yugoslavia later re-signed with Montreal in 2012 for the team's first season in the MLS.
"I am very excited to be joining the Fury FC family for the upcoming season," said Ubiparipovic. "I look forward to contributing on and off the field - on the field I will give my best every game and off the field I will make sure I represent the club in the best possible way."
Both Heinemann and Ubiparipovic count as domestic players on the Fury FC roster that now includes the following players:
Goalkeeper: Marcel DeBellis
Defenders: Ramon Soria Alonso, Omar Jarun, Andrés Fresenga, Drew Beckie
Midfielders: Nicki Paterson, Richie Ryan, Mauro Eustaquio, Hamza Elias, Maykon, Sinisa Ubiparipovic
Forward: Oliver Minatel, Carl Haworth, Tom Heinemann
Fans will have the opportunity to meet the pair during the 1st intermission of Friday's Ottawa 67's game at Canadian Tire Centre when the 67's host the Sarnia Sting at 7:30pm.
Ottawa Fury FC open their inaugural season against the Fort Lauderdale Strikers on April 12 before hosting Minnesota United FC in their home opener on April 19. Fury FC season tickets can be purchased in person at the Stadium Preview Centre (Monday to Friday 9:00am - 6:00pm) located at 2016 Ogilvie Road, Unit 3 or by calling 613.232.6767. Tickets to the Amway Canadian Championship preliminary knock-out round featuring Ottawa Fury FC and FC Edmonton are included in all Fury FC season ticket packages. Single Game tickets will go on-sale March 1.

Guys, this is an old video (about 2 years ago) but I just discovered it from another link shot with Canon dslr. Check out this filmmaker, he's got some major talent and it goes to show that as long as you love what you do and are good at it, you can produce films with big budget look for almost anything.
This was shot using the Canon XHA1 and Brevis combo.
These were shot with 5D II
Amazing work!
