I have to agree with you @ sapphire12. What is so messed up for me is I have had pain for over 10 years. It was suggested I had endometriosis, but after surgery they removed an ovary instead, saying multiple cysts.
Well, after surgery, the pain was still there. I have had so many different types of hormone treatments. I have had many miscarriages, as well as complicated pregnancies.
Back in 2006, an ultrasound revealed a growth on my uterus and they diagnosed it as an ectopic pregnancy. In 2012 an ultrasound finds a growth on my uterus and my GYN states it's normal. Now, I just recently had an ultrasound that revealed this growth again and this term has come up. I almost want to scream, because this explains so much, but it has taken over 10 years to realize what was causing this. I guess it has gotten big enough that they are taking notice of it now.

Phantom Thief Jeanne (神風怪盗ジャンヌ Kamikaze Kaitō Jannu?, lit. "Divine Wind Phantom Thief Jeanne") is a fantasy shōjo manga series written and illustrated by Arina Tanemura. The story is about the adventures of a high school girl, Maron Kusakabe, who is the reincarnation of Jeanne D'Arc and transforms into a phantom thief-magical girl to collect the scattered pieces of God's power which are also coveted by demons hiding in beautiful art works.[1]
The manga was published by Shueisha in Ribon between February 1998 and July 2000. The individual chapters were collected and published in seven tankōbon volumes. It was formerly licensed for English-language release by CMX Manga and now licensed by Viz Media. The series was adapted by Toei Animation as a 44-episode anime television series that was broadcast on TV Asahi from February 1999 to January 2000. The series was re-issued by Shueisha in 2007, with all chapters fitting into only 6 volumes, instead of the original 7; all volumes had new covers.
16-year-old high-school gymnast Maron Kusakabe is visited by the angel Finn Fish, who gives her a task. God's power is scattered across the Earth, and if He does not gather enough by the turn of the millennium, He will die. To block Him, The Devil had sent out agents to gather His power, which is the beauty in human hearts, in the form of chess pieces. With Fin's assistance, Maron transforms into the reincarnation of Jeanne D'Arc in order to hunt Demons hidden within works of art. When Maron defeats a Demon, the artwork disappears, and to the outside world it is as if she has stolen it, and she becomes known as a kaitō ("phantom thief"). Maron's best friend is Miyako, the daughter of a police detective in charge of Jeanne's case.
As the series progresses, Maron and Miyako fall in love with new classmate Chiaki, who wants to stop Maron collecting the chess pieces, for he knew that Fin Fish is the Da-Tenshi (Fallen Angel), but apparently in the form of normal angel. Chiaki at first "fakes" falling in love to get closer to Maron, knowing Maron is Jeanne. Later he falls in love truthfully after realising that Maron is worth the effort, even if she does "hate" him. Maron, on the other hand, is confused and does not know what "love" means because her parents abandoned her when she was around ten years old when they were having problems getting along, so no one taught her. As a result, she does not know how to respond to Chiaki's advances.
The manga relates in detail Finn Fish's background, expounding on Fin's relationships with other angels and the events that led to her becoming Maron's partner. This backstory of the angels is not shown in the anime. Kamikaze Kaitou Jeanne has often drawn comparisons to Sailor Moon for the magical girl theme and similarity in appearance between Kaitou Jeanne and Sailor Moon.
Main characters[edit]
- Maron Kusakabe (日下部 まろん Kusakabe Maron?)
- The protagonist of the series, Maron is a 16-year-old (17-years-old from chapter 19) high school girl and rhythmic gymnast, who can also transform into the supernatural "Kaitou Jeanne" (怪盗 ジャンヌ Kaitō Jannu?). Maron lives in an apartment alone—having been left by her parents, who seem to work abroad but is really possessed by demons. She is well liked at school, especially in chapter 11, when lots of guys from her school offer to escort her home on Valentine's Day, and request chocolate valentines from her. She is also very stubborn and head-strong. Even so, Maron is a lonely young woman who hides her feelings behind a warm smile. Even though she has her parent's phone number and address, she is afraid she would once again be "thrown away" by her parents, and thus refuses to contact them. The only time she is contacted by her parents is by her mother, in order to tell her they are divorcing. Maron is very close with her best friend Miyako, though she still holds her at a distance. In the beginning, she sees Chiaki as merely a playboy, and refuses to trust him as he had always seemed to be hitting on her. However, after the incident when Maron was told of her parents' divorce, Chiaki found Maron alone in tears, and he encouraged her to believe in herself. This was a turning point for Maron: Chiaki's kindness helped her trust others, and it also sparked romantic feelings toward Chiaki. Throughout the series, she tries to confess to him, but something always happens. Finally, in the second last chapter, she confesses to him that she loves him and they even sleep together. Seven years later, Maron is 24 years old, married to Chiaki, and has a daughter named Natsuki who is the reincarnation of Finn.
- Before the series began, Maron had encountered a tiny female angel named Finn Fish, who gave her a mission from God to seal away demons. These demons attempt to steal the beauty in human hearts, in order to increase The Devil's powers. Maron was given a mystical rosary with a large crucifix, by which she could transform into Kaitou Jeanne, the reincarnation of Jeanne D'Arc, who then captures the demons. Jeanne has some different physical features from Maron, and also possesses certain supernatural powers. In the anime television series, Maron is voiced by Houko Kuwashima.
- Chiaki Nagoya (名古屋 稚空 Nagoya Chiaki?)
- Chiaki is a male student at Maron's school, who can transform into "Kaitou Sinbad" (怪盗 シンドバッド Kaitō Shindobaddo?), Jeanne's rival, who also collects demons' powers. Maron doesn't realize Sinbad is really Chiaki, but he already knows of her double-identity. At the very beginning of the series, Chiaki moves into Maron's and Miyako's building and transfers to their class, in order to get close to Maron, to stop her from collecting the demons. At first, Chiaki is portrayed as a playboy, whom Maron despises. However, as time passes, he falls in love with her, and he's able to gain Maron's trust, and eventually love, by helping her out of tough situations, and helping her regain her courage--both as Chiaki and as Sinbad. After Chiaki catches Maron staring sadly at her empty mailbox, he begins dropping her "useless" notes, as one of Chiaki's many ways of trying to cheer her. Like Maron, Chiaki lives alone, having run away because he was tired of his father's continuing to marry new women after his mother's death. He later reconciles with his father, after introducing him to Maron.
- Chiaki, too, is accompanied by a small male angel, Access Time, who gave him the power to become Kaitou Sinbad. It is eventually revealed that Chiaki had been attempting to stop Maron, because he knew of Finn's being an agent for The Devil, rather than for God, and was using Maron to help him. He had wanted to seduce her in order to make her stop, but he began to find himself blushing each time Maron smiled to him, which he tried to lie to himself by telling himself that it is just "false affection" (in the manga), or that he was being moody (in the anime). After Maron discovers he was also Kaitou Sinbad, and that he was just trying to seduce her to make her stop being a Kaitou, he realizes his affection for her, and fights to regain her trust. In the second last chapter, he is overjoyed when she confesses her love to him and confesses to her, and they sleep together. Seven years later, Chiaki is 24 years old, a doctor in training, married to Maron, and has a daughter named Natsuki who is Finn's reincarnation. In the anime television series, Chiaki is voiced by Susumu Chiba.
- Miyako Todaiji (東大寺 都 Tōdaiji Miyako?)
- Miyako is Maron's classmate and best friend since childhood, who lives across the hall from Maron's apartment. Miyako's father is a police detective and, desiring to follow in his footsteps, Miyako frequently aids in trying to catch Jeanne. Stubborn and with a fierce temper, Miyako notes during the series that even with her Maron is sometimes distant and that it bothers her. Miyako is initially in love with Chiaki, and is jealous of Maron, but later accepts Maron's and Chiaki's growing relationship. When Yamato confesses to her, Miyako thinks he's only joking, as Yamato had long been in love with Maron. He eventually convinces her of his sincerity and at the end of the series Miyako and Yamato marry, and have a son named Shinji who is Access' reincarnation. Eventually, Miyako reveals that she knew that Maron was Jeanne the whole time, and that she only tried to catch Jeanne so she could release her if she were caught. In the anime adaptation, Miyako is unaware that Maron is Jeanne and is deeply hurt when Maron is forced to transform in front of her. The pain allows Finn to use Miyako to attack Maron, but Maron is eventually able to wake her up. In the anime television series, Miyako is voiced by Naoko Matsui.
- Fin Fish (フィン·フィッシュ Fin Fisshu?)
- Fin Fish is the small female semi-angel who helps Maron detect demons, and gave her the power to transform into Kaitou Jeanne. As the series progresses, it is revealed that Fin is a fallen angel who was banished from heaven and sentenced to death after killing a human. The Devil saved her from annihilation in return for her to become his servant, and so she manipulates Maron into gathering the chess pieces for The Devil. Later, Fin explains that she really wanted to live so she could see Access again, because she had always loved him. During the final battle with The Devil, Finn realizes her wrongs and sacrifices herself to save Maron. In the manga epilogue, years later, she is reincarnated as Natsuki, the daughter of Chiaki and Maron. Natsuki remembers Access and rejects Shinji's advances in hopes of reuniting with Access. However, when she learns that Shinji is Access' reincarnation, she returns his feelings. In the anime, Fin was kidnapped and brainwashed by The Devil, and did not realize she was working for him until all of the demons were collected. In the anime television series, Finn is voiced by Kumiko Nishihara.
- Access Time (アクセス·タイム Akusesu Taimu?)
- Access Time is the small male dark angel who helps Chiaki detect demons, and who gave Chiaki the power to transform into Kaitōu Sinbad. He is in love with Fin Fish, and worked hard to become a full angel so he could be with her. When Finn is killed by The Devil, Access gives Fin his black earring as a memento, so that the two would meet again when she reincarnated as a human. He himself becomes a semi-angel and also dies. He is reborn as Shinji, the son of Miyako and Yamato. When Shinji is four years old, he recognizes Natsuki as the reincarnation of Fin by the earring she was holding after she was born, and proposes to her on the spot. Shinji has remained in love with Natsuki ever since, even stealing her first kiss when she was 3 years old. He frequently professes his love to her, even though she continues rejecting him. However, when he confesses that he is Access' reincarnation, she confesses her love to him. In the anime television series, Access is voiced by Akiko Yajima.
Supporting characters[edit]
- Yamato Minazuki (水無月 大和 Minazuki Yamato?)
- Yamato is a classmate of Maron, Chiaki, and Miyako, and is the class president. Because of his gentle, unassuming nature, he doesn't get much respect. He initially has a crush on Maron, but later gives up on her and comes to fall in love with Miyako while joining her in trying to catch Sinbad. When he confesses his feelings, Miyako angrily pushes him in a lake, thinking he is toying with her. Eventually he is able to convince her that his feelings are genuine, and at the end of the series they are married with a son named Shinji who is Access' reincarnation. In the anime adaptation, Yamato is depicted as being so innocent and pure of heart that he is particularly susceptible to demon possession. In the anime television series, Yamato is voiced by Naozumi Takahashi.
- Noin Claude
- Noin is a demon who disguises himself as history teacher Hijiri Shikaido at Maron's school. Five hundred years ago, he was a knight who assisted the original Jeanne d'Arc and was in love with her. Unable to protect Jeanne d'Arc from death, he gave his soul to The Devil, and vowed to fall in love with Jeanne's reincarnated form. After he confirms Maron is Jeanne's reincarnation, he does fall in love with her and tries to interfere with her collecting, culminating in his attempting to rape her as she can only transform while she is still a virgin. When Maron travels back in time to meet Jeanne d'Arc during her final hours, Noin goes with her and regrets what he had done. In the anime adaptation, he dies protecting Maron, and is reunited with Jeanne d'Arc. In the anime television series, Noin is voiced by Kappei Yamaguchi.

Authorities issued an arrest warrant for Evan Ebel just hours after murder of Tom Clements
DENVER - Documents reveal authorities began looking for Evan Ebel less than a full day after the murder of Colorado's prison chief.
Records released by the Department of Corrections show an arrest warrant was issued for Ebel on March 20, the day after Tom Clements was shot to death in the entryway of his Monument home.
Shell casings found after a shootout between Ebel and Texas lawmen on March 21 matched the casings found at Clements' home, the El Paso County Sheriff's Office said.
Other evidence found in Ebel's Cadillac included Domino's Pizza clothes and an insulated Domino's pizza carrier that could link Ebel to the murder of moonlighting pizza delivery driver Nathan Leon on March 17.
The DOC document doesn't specify why the arrest warrant was issued on the March 20, but does show Ebel was in the Intensive Supervision Parole Program. According to the Colorado Department of Corrections, that program is for high-risk or high-needs offenders who "present increased risk for the community."
The details of Ebel's specific program weren't clear, but the DOC says such paroles may include electronic monitoring, a daily call-in system and global positioning satellite tracking systems.
After serving his maximum prison term, Ebel was released from prison Jan. 28 on mandatory parole, "meaning that by law he could not be held any longer," prison officials said.
A Dec. 14, 2012 parole assessment rated Ebel as a "very high risk" for returning to prison, giving him "recidivism odds" of two out of three.
Authorities say Ebel was a member of a white supremacist prison gang, the 211 Crew. ABC News has reported that authorities are investigating whether the killing of Clements was a gang-ordered hit.
Ebel's parole conditions prohibited him having contact with gang members, his victim, from driving, using alcohol or going to bars.
Intensive Supervised Parole is only imposed on about sixteen percent of paroled convicts.
Ebel, who was shot in the head during the gunfight in Texas and pronounced dead the next day, had spent nearly eight years in four different Colorado prisons. Records show he had 28 disciplinary violations during his incarceration.
The violations included two fights, ten attempts to incite prison disruptions and three threats. The most serious threat was in 2005, when the report says Ebel told a female guard "he would kill her if he ever saw her on the streets, and that he would make her beg for her life."

Andreas Holmqvist had a goal as Frolunda thrashed Lulea 7-1. Lightning prospect Johan Harju was scoreless in the match for Lulea.
Highlights from Tuesday and Wednesday:
Albert Vishnyakov did not play in Spartak's 3-1 loss to Ufa.
Denis Kazionov was scoreless in Omsk's 6-1 loss to Togliatti.
Dimitri Kazionov and Alexei Glukhov were scoreless in Cherepovets' 3-2 shootout win over Kazan. Vasily Koshechkin was dressed as Ak Bars' backup for the game.
Anton But was scoreless in St. Petersburg's 3-2 loss to Dynamo.
For the second straight game some dubious officiating leaves the stench of league bias in Lightning land.
Johan Holmqvist stopped 27 of 29 shots for the loss.
First, I give credit to Henrik Lundqvist and the Rangers defensive discipline. This was a tight game that could've gone either way.
However, someone needs to explain to me the disallowed third period goal. The goal was waived off by the referee on the ice and there was no definitive shot of the puck crossing the line. Of course, the reason why there was no definitive shot of the puck crossing the line was because Brendan Shanahan's glove was closed on top of it.
Now, last I checked, that's a penalty shot. It was one or the other. It was either a goal, or it was penalty shot. Instead, mighty and wise Toronto says no goal and they line it up at center ice. No acknowledgement of the fact Shanahan just broke a major rule to keep the puck out. No penalty shot. So when the Lightning scored with about 16 seconds left in the game, how furious do you think I was? How furious do you think Torts is going to be when he sees the tape? The league's a joke, a total, absolute joke. This was almost as bad as Chara-gate in Boston last year. Gorilla Monsoon's WWF was more on the up and up than Bettman's NHL is.
Box score and extended statistics from NHL.com.
Norfolk gets an early touchdown and holds Philly to a field goal.

I have worked in Epson for 4.5 years now. The first two years were tough as I was struggling to get myself up from zero. You can imagine a working environment where web is never placed in priority and I was often told that I was not working in an Internet company like Google. But I never gave up because this is where I can see a huge opportunity to grow. My resources were often very tight back then. So much so that I had to work round the clock and over the weekends with my vendors to get our website revamp project up successfully. Because of that, I had been branded as the web guy because I was probably the one and only person in charge back then. I was fortunate to have great bosses from both Japan and Singapore along the way who appreciate my dedication, and giving me resources gradually to grow our web exposure. Also, great colleagues who are supportive of my web initiatives too.
Today, things are getting really better and better. I wouldn't say that I had never thought of looking for better job opportunities along the way. In fact, I had recently rejected a job offer as a global e-marketing manager because I thought I would do better with more resources and experiences that I have already gathered in Epson. And hence, I would achieve my next level of job satisfaction and gains. There are still more things to do in Epson today and I am better- and well-equipped to fulfil them now. In fact, it was a really tough choice to make.
On the other hand, I am now revamping my personal blog. You might have experienced my server ups and downs in the recent months. That's because I was doing testing with server migration to Amazon Web Services. In the end, I think I will still stay with MediaTemple as my existing web needs are still pretty well met. For the past 4.5 years, I have not been putting a lot of attention to my blog. It might have been quite stagnant over the years. I am hoping to do a catch up from where I have left back in 2008. It was fun to communicate with the bloggers, writing blog posts for one another. I want to get back that feeling again.

Ocean Circulation and Climate Dynamics
Climate modelling
The Earth's climate arises from a complex interplay between the ocean, the atmosphere, sea ice, land vegetation and the influence of external factors. The feedbacks between the different subsystems and the variability of the system on different timescales are only partly understood so far. Climate modelling provides a useful tool to investigate variability and feedbacks in a systematic way. The performance and sensitivity of the models can be tested against observations and paleo reconstructions. Modelling efforts cover the whole range of climate fluctuations from paleo climate to future climate evolution taking into account anthropogenic influence.
Research Topics:
- internal climate variability at seasonal to centennial time scales
- seasonal to decadal predictability
- simulation of past climate variation
- anthropogenic climate change
- model development
The models used in our group:
- Atmosphere: ECHAM5
- Ocean: MPI-OM and NEMO-LIM
- coupled Atmosphere/Ocean model: Kiel Climate Model System (ECHAM5/NEMO) and MPI Climate Model (ECHAM5/MPI-OM)

The Six Best Local Comedians in Miami
Send in the motherfucking clowns.cosmic_flurk, Flickr Creative Commons
We'll take comedians any day over writers, poets, thespians, musicians, models, photographers, visual artists, or filmmakers. Comedians, in their own unique way, are artists, too -- self-deprecating, ironic, intelligent, sensitive, neurotic yet brave, humble yet egotistical, damaged goods but mostly just awesome.
Luckily, we have a lot of comedic talent in Miami.
Sure, we often lose that local talent to New York and L.A. But South Florida is a top ten media market, and we're growing, especially in the entertainment industry. Plus, there's a heightened level of "talent circulation," and people are coming and going constantly. That means an array of fresh faces, plus some die-hard local standbys with a style all their own.
If you're unfamiliar with the local scene, here's a list of the top six comedians, in order, currently performing in Miami. We also asked the comedians to give us their own list of favorite acts, allowing them the option to include themselves on the list.
6. Dan DeCotiis
The first time we saw Dan perform, about two years ago, we really thought the Boca-based dude was on heroin. But in a good way; he had a Mitch Hedberg thing going on. Recently, we caught Dan perform again, and noticed his maturity, in both demeanor and comedic timing. He's one of the fastest rising comedians in South Florida.
Dan's top five Miami comedians:
1. David Stebbins
2. Matt Zigan
3. Ricky Cruz

Hey everyone,
I've been thinking of a backup gun to be carried in the pocket, maybe angle and maybe in a small fannypack (gym and beach). I've, pretty much down to three choices: Kahr P.380, Sig P238 SAS, S&W M&P 340 (no IL)/360. I feel the Sig has the best trigger (SA only), the J frame would be the most reliable and the Kahr possibly the easiest to carry in the Pocket. What are you opinions? Thanks

Bangkok Dangerous Lionsgate Films Rated R Now Showing at: most major theaters. Review by: Larry Thomas Did you ever notice when a movie studio has a film that's so bad, so inept, and just plain awful, they either (a) release it the weekend after a major holiday, while everyone is back pursuing their normal activities, or (b) they don't pre-screen it for the critics, in hopes you, the audience, won't find out how stinko the film is until after you've plunked down your cash for a ticket. In the case of Bangkok Dangerous, Lions Gate Films did both, which gives you some idea of how truly awful this film is. First, it's a remake…of Bangkok Dangerous; a fairly well received Thai film directed by The Pang Brothers. Asian gangster films have always been popular, especially beginning in the 1990's with Hong Kong's John Woo bringing the genre to worldwide fame. While The Pang Brothers are not exactly The Coen Brothers, they can handle action shots and some really interesting camera setups. Why anyone thought having them remake their own film in, mainly, English with an American star might be a good idea has yet to be explained. Secondly, despite being a remake of their own film, Bangkok Dangerous is yet another retread of John Woo's far superior The Killer, and manages to throw in all the hit man and action movie clichés that are by now almost self-parody. Once you hear the main character doing first person voice over narration, you know as soon as he starts reciting the four rules of how a hit man should conduct business that he will violate every single one of them, thus leading to his inevitable doom. Third, Nicolas Cage needs a vacation. This is yet another laconic, hangdog performance of an uninteresting character, which seems to be all he can do lately. In researching his resume, it appears Cage hasn't made an exceptional film since 1996's Face-Off, which, not coincidentally, was directed by the aforementioned John Woo. He mumbles. He scowls. And he looks as tired of the films he's making as we are of watching them. Maybe he needs an 1984 Moonstruck moment when Cher smacks him in the face and screams "SNAP OUT OF IT!". Moonstruck, Face-Off, and especially his Oscar-winning Leaving Las Vegas have proven that Cage has talent. Perhaps he needs someone else to assist in choosing his projects. Fourth…The Pang Brothers seem to be enamored of the current trend of shooting in dark hues of faded blues and grays, instead of using real color. We know Bangkok is dirty, dangerous and corrupt, but it would help if we could actually see it. If you want to enjoy a really good Asian-set action film, then rent John Woo's The Killer or Ringo Lam's Full Contact, both starring the charismatic Chow Yun-Fat, as well as Sydney Pollack's woefully underappreciated The Yakuza starring Robert Mitchum and Brian Keith. With films like these available, there's absolutely no need to see Bangkok Dangerous.

When Otto Kaap made his first batch of chocolate back in 1907 in his store on bustling Main Street, in Green Bay, Wisconsin, he set the standard of quality by making his chocolates fresh daily in small batches using only the finest ingredients. We still follow those same standards of quality today.
At first, Otto struggled to make his new business a success, working as a bank teller and a percussionist in a Vaudeville orchestra, while perfecting his chocolates. He would come in late night to make his chocolates so they would be fresh when he opened his doors in the morning. Made in small batches, he used only the freshest ingredients - select pure whipping cream, sweet creamy butter, pure vanilla and cane sugar - and soon Kaap's Old World Chocolates became a Green Bay landmark for its European style, old-world atmosphere and wonderful chocolates.
We're proud to carry on Otto's tradition of perfection and freshness today. Our unique blend of chocolates "Otto's own recipe" makes our confections taste like no other. You have our personal guarantee!
To order from Kaap's, stop into our store in Green Bay, Wisconsin or you can place a chocolate or candy order online through our website for home or work delivery.

Comic Strip Collections: Cul de Sac, Pearls Before Swine, and Max Overacts
- Posted by Johanna on May 27, 2012 at 7:25 pm
- Category: Graphic Novel Reviews
With the general decline in newspapers, the best way to keep up with your favorite comic strips are book collections. Some of the most interesting short comics these days may not be carried in your local paper, or they may not even be syndicated. Here are a few I've enjoyed reading recently. (The publishers provided review copies.)
The Mighty Alice: A Cul de Sac Collection
by Richard Thompson
Andrews McMeel, $12.99
I had no idea this strip was so charming and imaginative and freshly funny. (I know I contributed to a benefit zine for Thompson last summer, but that was because I had sympathy for a cartoonist with Parkinson's and he was so well-recommended.) This is the first time I've gotten to read Cul de Sac in large chunks, and it's wonderful.
The Mighty Alice is the four-year-old who anchors the suburban comic. This is the fourth collection, following Cul De Sac: This Exit, Children at Play (collected together with author commentary as Cul de Sac Golden Treasury: A Keepsake Garland of Classics), and Shapes and Colors. You don't need to know anything more than this, though: Alice is annoyingly precocious and sees the world in her own creative terms, where she clearly centers it.
It reminds me of two old favorites, Peaches, Queen of the Universe (although Alice is nicer) and Yotsuba&! (although Alice is smarter). It's nostalgic, in a way — once upon a time, we all had the chance to explore and imagine without the concerns that bother those around her, her parents and older brother Petey. She's selfish, gloriously so, which makes it all the funnier when she gets her comeuppance, as from a jack-in-the-box.
Alice also has some classmates and her preschool teacher Miss Bliss. Her world is so beautifully realistic and yet, this isn't one of those strips where you have to have a family like the one shown to relate. The punchlines are much more vivid … and unusual. Then there's the distinctive visual design, which makes clear that these are drawings, with a varying pen line and vaguely scratchy appearance. Yet Thompson can draw anything, it seems. I forget I'm seeing art when I read it, a high compliment.
Cul de Sac captures the bizarre obsessions and peculiar dementia of everyday modern suburban life, including Christmas sweaters, sibling interaction, picky eating, minivans, advertising culture, and summer camp. This book is full-color, which still surprises me when we're talking about comic strips.
Team Cul de Sac: Cartoonists Draw the Line at Parkinson's
edited by Chris Sparks (designer of CulDeSacArt.com)
Andrews McMeel, $29.99
Speaking of Thompson's Parkinson's, a portion of the proceeds from this benefit hardcover will benefit the Michael J. Fox Foundation. It reprints artwork donated for a similar purpose; the originals will be auctioned off online through June 10 with the proceeds going to Parkinson's research.
It's a coffee table book, with a bunch of other artists providing comic strips, or more often, pinups, of Thompson's characters (often interacting with their own), but it's for a good cause, and the contributors are quite impressive. They include Bill Amend (Fox Trot), Sergio Aragones, Danielle Corsetto (Girls With Slingshots), Jim Davis (Garfield), Evan Dorkin, Cathy Guisewite, Dustin Harbin, Lynn Johnston (For Better or for Worse), Roger Langridge (who draws Petey's favorite "Little Neuro"), Stephan Pastis (Pearls Before Swine), G.B. Trudeau, and Bill Watterson, who provides an oil painting of Petey. But that's only a few — there are many more cartoonists and artists who participate. Many provide accompanying notes commenting on the inspiration behind their piece or a moment with Richard Thompson or their own experiences with motion disorders.
The book also contains an introductory profile of Thompson, telling how he got the strip started and how he was diagnosed, among other key moments. It covers the formation of the book project and some of Thompson's influences and family background. It's a great resource for those interested in more about the man behind the strip, or for those who need a reminder of how kind artists can be to each other when one's in need.
Pearls Before Swine: Because Sometimes You Just Gotta Draw a Cover With Your Left Hand
by Stephan Pastis
Andrews McMeel, $12.99
I used to love this strip, one of the few modern good ones carried in my local paper, but after reading the good-natured humor and caring outreach of the above two books, it seems a bit mean-spirited. It's certainly got a very different mood, with cynicism instead of curiosity ruling the day.
Maybe it's that, after reviewing Only the Pearls, the Pearls Before Swine iPad app, I feel more like my sense of humor doesn't match the author's. I don't find the cover all that funny, for example, although I applaud him doing whatever he wants in the face of his syndicate, foolhardy as it may be. He acknowledges that it reflects his "general obnoxiousness" in the introduction, also written in the same style.
Certainly, there are plenty of fans who appreciate this approach, and for them, this is more of the same, even better. Rat tries to hang out with Civil War re-enactors. Zebra isn't helped by an elephant officer trying to work out a compromise between him and the crocs who want to eat him, although the pachyderm cop is a great visual. Pig has a sheep stalker. The crocs drill for gophers. My favorite (and the only time I could relate to him) was when Rat went searching for a company with good customer service.
Of course, there are the requisite cartooning jokes, when a version of Pastis argues with his characters, or those with unauthorized cameos from elsewhere on the comic page. One sequence memorializes Cathy Guisewite's retirement with her character's spirit floating through for a few strips. I was unsurprised to see it turned into a fat joke.
Max Overacts
by Caanan Grall
Occasional Comics, $19.95 + $8.00 shipping
I first saw Grall's work in the Zuda book Celadore, released just as that imprint was ending. He has since moved on to this webcomic, about an aspiring thespian schoolboy who makes everything around him dramatic. His favorite thing is to soliloquize.
This collection, "Hold on to Your Stubs", is labeled Volume 1 and collects the first 142 strips, with 12 additional not posted online, all in color. Although somewhat expensive to try blind (due to the small press and use of color), it's a great introduction, especially since it jumps right in. You quickly get a sense of Max's over-sized personality (and how annoying it is) through his everyday family and school situations. Sometimes he practices ventriloquism, talking to a puppet. As the book continues, his relationships develop, especially with a girl in his class.
Each page is one strip, since they're double-tiered and typically have eight or more panels. Grall's cartooning is excellent, balancing the emotionality of the characters and their exaggerations in clear, readable fashion. One of my favorites was a trip to the dentist, with Max demanding to be treated as an alien and climbing all over the chair. I didn't see the punchline, with the dentist demonstrating his own imagination, coming.
Even if you don't want the book, check out the website. Max Overacts was nominated for an Eisner Award for Best Digital Comic last year.

I have just discovered the solution for all of Lindsay Lohan's problems. Ms. Lohan, pictures of whom you can find by Googling "train wreck celebrities," is notorious for her legal woes, family battles, and substance abuse, but the real answer to turning her life and career around lies not in counseling, rehab, or probation. What Lindsay needs is a new stylist.
Sitting next to Jay Leno on The Tonight Show Tuesday night (video below), Lohan was able to nonchalantly field questions about her personal troubles, laugh at her headline-making ability, and speak coherently (if not eloquently) about her role in the new Lifetime drama Liz & Dick. She looked, however, like a hot mess. Between her straw-like wig of red locks, unmovable forehead and cheeks, and ill-fitting dress, it was hard to take anything Lohan said seriously. I almost missed the part of the interview where Lohan talked about meeting with Elizabeth Taylor's real-life nurse because I was so struck by the fact that she looked like a melting wax figure. Are you talking, Lindsay? My brain can't hear you because it's too busy wondering if your dress' cutouts are revealing your torso or a layer of mesh.
Let me be perfectly clear: my advice for Lohan is not shallow critique. I'm not just pointing to the fact that Lohan consistently wears ugly and inappropriate clothes (although this is true). I rather feel that Lohan is doing herself a disservice by leaving the house looking like her four-year-old neighbor convinced her to play dress-up. Let's take Lohan's red carpet ensemble from Tuesday's Liz & Dick premiere for Exhibit B. I'm not sure any woman wearing red jewels so close to her belly button has ever been taken seriously before.
Fans of What Not to Wear and anyone who has gone to a job interview know that you have to dress for success. And for someone like Lohan, whom most everyone expects to generally be a disaster, it is especially important to look like a person and not a mannequin from Caché when stepping out in public. Lindsay needs a look that says, "I am as in control of my mind as I am of my wardrobe." Or at least, "I am competent enough to put clothes on my body without people wondering if I lost the electricity in my house." Once she has conquered this, then she can move on to, "I'm back, bitches." Baby steps.

OK. Southern Thunder's post about "The Three Stooges" (plenty of hehe possibilities there) has inspired me to offer my "two cents" on a previous topic which was never fully resolved--and may never be: "Atlas Shrugged"; the significance, or insignificance, thereof.
Over the past few months, there has been considerable interest in the 1950's novel, "Atlas Shrugged" by Ayn Rand (I would only wish that most people who covet her philosophy would be able pronounce her first name correctly) and the correlation with our current state of both economic and governmental affairs.

We've searched...and we've searched, but we never knew how difficult it would be to find a simple-little-toy-metal boat that actually floats--without having to pay 10 bucks in shipping fees on ebaY. And, heck, I work at a yacht club.
Does anyone possibly have a small (around four or five inches) metal boat that could be borrowed for a few weeks? It will be returned in the same condition received. I promise.
My oldest daughter needs it for a science fair (water displacement).
The simpler the boat, the better.

A group of GOP state governors, including SC Gov., Mark Stanford, may reject some of the federal money offered them from the recent stimulus package.
I honestly applaud them for doing so. Put your...well...OUR money where your ideology is, I say. Seriously.
I've been suggesting this exact tactic to anyone who would listen (mostly my wife, three-year-old son and Yellow Lab) for the past month. If South Carolina tax payers do not need the cash, why should they receive any of the stimulus money?

Have the folks at The Bluffton Today done some fancy regional marketing to round-up a fresh bunch of "faces"?
Well don't just sit there, tell us a little about yourselves. What brought you here? Are you local, or some voyeuristic freak who just wants to butt-in on the opinions of Blufftonians - no offense, Marie L.

This article takes a close look at how it may be a while before the Southern voter may again play a key roll in national politics.

"The South has moved from being the center of the political universe to being an outside player in presidential politics."

I found it to be quite the coincidence the other day when I became sick of listening to news and politics on the radio--and airplay has become far too predictable--so I pulled out an old CD from the center console. And what did I find?

Even with all of his recent tantrums and pouting about how unfair the NY Times is to the McCain campaign, it's good to know that Steven Schmidt, McCain's campaign strategist, has a few friends in the media after all.

This article mostly speaks for itself:
For anyone who does not know, Phil Gramm co-chaired McCain's current campaign and was his economic adviser until July of this year, and there was talk of Gramm being appointed the Secretary of the Treasury if McCain were to be elected.

Jesue said for I am with you even to the end of the world! That is a very long time ,dont you think?When you think God is the furterist away is usualy when he is trying the hardest to get in touch with you, by letting you feel uneasy,disturbed, as if somthing is wrong.Right?Have you just tried being by your self, and meditating on him, maybe with soft music in the background, not loud enough to catch your attention, concentrateon somthing,maybe the little spot between your eyes, let your focus go there, still your mind,and think only of nothing.Try not to go to sleep, but if you do ,dont be discourgaged,we all do some times,when we are tired. But to know what God wants of you, you really just need to learn how to ask, and how to listen! and he does most of his talking in his word,The Bible, The best one is The King James Edition, people gave their lives to copy this one down, so I pretty much believe they would not have let very may mistakes happen.I believe it to be the untarnised WORD of God, as given to the prophets of old, the disciples,and apostles. I pray I have helped you in some way. read the 91st psalm. the 1st time I realized it said that that the creator of the heavens and the earth, knew my name, I jumped up and ran around my kitchen, yelling, he knows MY name, then I called my husband at work, yelling, God knows my name, and crying, I think he thought I had finally really lost it! You see I was sort of in your shoes,I,d been in a bad car accident in 1996, my Grandaughters carseat hit me so hard it pushed my right shoulder up into my neck,causing awful pain and nerve damage,(I was a nail tech,@Educater@traveled@taught seminers, @ w/o my right hand, i was done) my head was knocked out my window(closed) causing alot of brain damage, and seizures, when I had the surgery on my shoulder, the nuerosurgon did somthing and caused my right diagphram to paralyze, so now I also have asthma for the rest of my life, and I did not win my case in court. am i bitter? No, believe it or not! If you would like to know how god has brought me thru, you can emailme@ email@example.com and I will finish the story another time. May G od Bless you |

It's a great day for iOS game trailers, because in addition to Arcane Legends and Need For Speed: Most Wanted, we just got our first look at Glitchsoft and Chillingo's upcoming game He-Man in action. It's a very manly trailer, so don your loincloth and get ready to feel the power.
IGN has unveiled an upcoming iOS game called He-Man: The Most Powerful Game in the Universe. It's a retro-style brawler that takes place in the land of Eternia, with graphics that actually look better than the original cartoon. Check out the screenshots below.
The game is being developed by Glitchsoft, the people who made Destructopus and the insanely good Star Marine: Infinite Ammo. They have a great track record, so we have high hopes for a beat-'em-up starring the burly Prince Adam.
We don't know much else about the game yet, other than it's coming out this fall, it will be a universal app, and we really, really, really want to play it. Check out the original article on IGN for a few more details.

Reviews for Tuscan-Style Roasted Asparagus
Sort By :
"Awesome. My favorite dish from my very first time cooking Christmas dinner :) I think I could have cut down on the Parmesan, but it was delicious no matter!"
"Very delicious. The only thing I changed was I used way less parmesan cheese because not everyone at our gathering is a fan. I got many rave reviews and will most likely make this again."
"I made this a few weeks ago for a family gathering and it was a hit, even with those who aren't big veggie eaters. I like the fact that the asparagus is baked, and the preparation was simple. Great recipe!"
"Nothing needs to be changed with this meal. Absolutely perfect! My husband even went back for seconds!"
"I liked the idea of this, but wasn't crazy about the outcome. Seems like we simply prefer raosted asparagus on it's own."

Colon and Rectal Cancer
The vast majority of people who develop colon cancer, and some people with large polyps, diverticulitis and other conditions, will require surgical resection (removal) of a segment of the colon or rectum. Surgery to remove a portion of the colon, also known as "colon resection" or "colectomy," is a technically challenging operation compared to other common laparoscopically performed procedures such as removal of the gall bladder removal or surgery to correct GERD (gastro-esophageal reflux disorder).
During colectomy, it is commonly necessary for the surgeon to operate in more than one area of the abdomen in order to separate the bowel from its blood vessels, resect the colon and join the two ends of bowel together (anastomosis). The procedure can be performed either laparoscopically (small incisions) or via an open midline conventional (laparotomy) approach. During laparoscopic surgery, the surgeon utilizes a small incision through which a "port" is placed to inflate the abdominal cavity with gas. A camera is then introduced through the port to help visualize the inside of the abdominal cavity on a television monitor. Surgery is performed with instruments through additional ports placed via small incisions in the abdominal wall.
After the colon segment has been removed, it is necessary to make a small incision or enlarge one of the port wounds to an overall length of 5 to 7 cm. in order to safely withdraw the specimen from the abdomen and to facilitate the connecting of the open ends of the remaining bowel. Because of the need for this larger wound, a more proper name for minimally invasive colectomy is laparoscopic-assisted colectomy. However, for brevity's sake, the term "laparoscopic colectomy" is often used. For purposes of comparison, the length of an open laparotomy incision for colectomy ranges from 15 to 28 cm.
Our team is available for second opinion consultations for anyone who wishes to confirm a diagnosis or discuss treatment options.


text: The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency is asking citizens to document one of the most important indicators of spring for the state - the date on which ice disappears from a lake, or lake ice-off. Lake ice-off is an important milestone for the state each year, particularly for anglers and water enthusiasts who've been waiting all winter to launch their crafts-and themselves--into the water again. But lake ice data - the dates of both its appearance and disappearance - could also be an indicator of changing climate trends. The MPCA collects ice-on and ice-off data and makes it available to researchers and the Department of Natural Resources' State Climatology Office. The more data available to researchers, the better they can track climate trends and their effects on lake health, local wildlife, and citizen lake use. Citizen observers make it possible to maintain records of ice data across the state on a huge numbers of lakes. All ice-off dates, any clarifying definitions, and questions can be emailed directly to the MCPA's ice data collection program at ice.pcastate.mn.us.

(born Jan. 25, 1627, Lismore Castle, County Waterford, Ire.died Dec. 31, 1691, London, Eng.) Irish-born English chemist and natural philosopher. The son of Richard Boyle, the Great Earl of Cork (15661643), he settled at Oxford in 1654 and, with his assistant Robert Hooke, began his pioneering experiments on the properties of gases, including those expressed in Boyle's law (see gas laws). He demonstrated the physical characteristics of air, showing that it is necessary in combustion, respiration, and sound transmission. In The Sceptical Chymist (1661) he attacked Aristotle's theory of the four elements (earth, air, fire, and water), espousing a corpuscular view of matter that presaged the modern theory of chemical elements. A founding member of the Royal Society of London, he achieved great renown in his lifetime. His brother Roger Boyle, earl of Orrery (162179), was a general under Oliver Cromwell but eventually helped secure Ireland for Charles II.

Kiribati is a small island nation that straddles the equator in the Pacific Ocean. Adventists first came to Kiribati—then called the Gilbert & Ellice Islands—in 1948, and since then the work has grown and extended to many of the islands through the influence and outreach of Kauma Adventist School on the island of Abemama. There still remain, however, a number of unentered islands where strong traditional religions prevent easy access for evangelism.
Four years ago, the Kiribati Mission decided to launch a Global Mission initiative to enter some of these islands using a culturally appropriate way of making friends and getting close to the people through their traditional lifestyle by organizing fishing clubs. The first fishing club began on the island of Nikunau. As a result, this island has a group of families who are studying the Bible, and the first baptism was held in 2008.
This method was so effective that last year a second fishing club was organized on the island of Onotoa. Global Mission funds helped to purchase a small aluminum dingy, an outboard motor, fishing tackle and nets, and several families were invited to join the new fishing club. The Global Mission pioneer, Toaea Tokirua, is the leader of this club and operates it as a small business enterprise for the families, while at the same time befriending them and sharing Christian and biblical principles. The friendship that develops through fishing together is opening the hearts of people.
Last October, Pastor Titau, the Global Mission coordinator and his wife, spent two weeks visiting the fishing club, sharing health videos on smoking and HIV-AIDS, and running programs on health and parenting. Titau's wife also gave training for two pre-school teachers and the mothers. A house for the pioneer was built, and several families joined the visitors to celebrate Sabbath for the first time. Land has been identified for a future church building, and we pray that God will continue to soften the hearts of these seafaring people so that they will be ready to meet Jesus when he comes.
KazakhstanBakyt serves as a Global Mission pioneer within an ethnic Kyrgyz group in the northwestern part of Kyrgyzstan. For the past six years he's tried to start a congregation without much success. Traditionally the Adventist Church has grown within the ethnic Russian communities, while it has faltered among the Kyrgyz people—which make up 65 percent of the population.
Last year Bakyt, who's a Kyrgyz himself, decided to change his method and started to approach people in a more traditionally Kyrgyz manner. He rearranged his worship hall from a Russian-style setup to be more comfortable for the Kyrgyz, who prefer to sit on the floor. Within a couple months things changed.
Two months ago Bakyt held his first evangelistic series of meetings. More than 60 people came. People are now more willing to meet with Bakyt and pray with him. He finds that people are also much more open to stopping by his home to eat and talk to him and his family, many times for hours on end.
Although no one in Bakyt village has accepted Christ yet, he prays that one day soon he will see the results of his work.
Some three million people live in Norring Mandi, an agricultural town in the eastern part of Pakistan. Only 2,000 Christians call this place home. Earlier this year the Adventist Church in Pakistan sent an evangelistic team to Norring Mandi to hold a series of meetings and—hopefully—establish a new congregation in this unentered community.
At the end of the meetings 73 people accepted Jesus as their personal savior and were baptized. A building was donated to the Adventist Church, which is now being used as a house of worship for this new congregation. A plot of land was also donated which will be used to build a church in the future.
After 3 months of training a total of 109 missionaries from the 35th class of the Northern Asia-Pacific Division's 1,000 Missionary Movement training center left for their respective mission fields last month. These young people from seven different countries left eager to serve. Among them was one who went to Mongolia, one of the most unreached places in Asia.
The center aims to take young adults from throughout Northern Asia, who want to serve, and prepare them to go back out into their communities and start new congregations. The intensive program gives them the tools to be self-sustaining for at least a year.
Thanks in part to the Adventist Church's frontline mission programs, already many of the 1,000 Missionary Movement pioneers are holding evangelistic meetings and starting small groups.
In the near future the training center expects to start another class that will go out to even more parts of Asia. Thank you for your ongoing support.
