5 fantastic!Posted: 29/01/2008Repeating other comments, this is a brilliant price for something, after a control pad, is so essential to complete your 360 experience. And for less than 1p a day. Bargain!!!
Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga Nintendo Wii 9 New from £13.99 Free delivery Available used from £9.20
1 very disappointedPosted: 02/12/2007I bought this game, with high expectations of waving my remote around like a lunatic. Unfortunately, nothing of the sort. Basically you just sit there remote in one hand, nunchuk in the other and shake the remote around in one hand to activate your lightsaber moves in-game. You don't even have to shake it vigourously, gentle movements will work fine. AND you don't even have to shake it, some of the buttons will take the fun out of being a virtual Jedi for you, by acting as the lightsaber attacks. Rubbish.If you're expecting the Wii remote to be your Jedi sidearm, don't bother with this game, you'll feel very cheated. If you want a game designed specifically for the remote and nunchuk, get Mario Galaxy (particularly the level where Mario has to balance on the ball - fantastic remote usage!)Perhaps I've been a bit hyper-critical with my opinion because I only completed the first level, and the remote usage might improve further on in the game, but it simply wasn't enough to hold my attention from the beginning and I got my money back.
3 not bad...Posted: 16/07/2007To be fair, this is the only book I've read from this author (although I plan to read "Wish You Were Here" soon) and it was okay. I guess it's really more of a girly book but I didn't dislike it.It's written in the style of diaries from both a male and female perspective accounting the rise and fall of a relationship over 20 odd years.If you're in your in your late twenties to early thirties, you might find it more appealing as the series of events are all set from 1989 to the present (well 2005, when it was published)It's really easy to read because it's in diary-style, so most of the text is more script like and you find yourself whizzing through it.Perfect for a summer holiday by the pool or beach.Give it 3 stars because it's the first book I've read of his and therefore I don't know how good it is compared to his others

Turtles Production Shut DownVICTORY!http://uk.ign.com/articles/2012/06/15/ninja-turtles-shut-downParamount has shut down pre-production on the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles reboot over "script problems".Translation; Paramount realised that if they continued down the path Bay was going, fans would probably burn their studios to the ground.With luck (and a dollop of common sense) the project will be shelved altogether and the IP left fallow until competent directors/producers are brought on board.I'm going to pretend my little campaign helped with this
Doomsday....sorry; you missed it.Since the concept of the Leap Year was first implemented back in 45BC, there have been about 514 of them.Without the extra day every 4 years, we would be in 2013.As the Mayan Calendar doesn't take leap years into account; 2012 has been and gone.(Edit - no: I'm not smart enough to work that out myself. I read it!)
X-Botch OneAfter recent polls that said sh*tloads (an actual unit of measurement) of people were going to by a PS4 and only the mums of M$ employees were going to buy the VCR shaped Xbox One, Microsoft crapped itself and ditched its plans to charge for use of second-hand games and the requirement for the machine to be kept online, beyond an initial, one-time system set-up.http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-22980973M$ are, naturally, trying to pat themselves on the back for this U-Turn, and some people are actually praising them for "listening to consumers".No. Just, no.You don't get to pat yourself on the back for having so much money that you can buy your way out of a complete and utter cluster-f**k. You only get to do that when you use common f**king sense and get it right first time. You spend enough bloody money it! There's no excuse!I'm still at a loss as to which console I want to invest in. It's going to be one or the other
Last chicken in Sainsbury's"Dirty Bird", a fried chicken vendor in Wales, has been forced to defend its choice in logo:http://www.walesonline.co.uk/news/wales-news/dirty-bird-cardiff-food-company-7578230Some rather prudish individuals have complained that it looks a mite dubious, while the owner of Dirty Bird has insisted that people are seeing what they want to see, and not what was intended.It is claimed that the logo is simply the lower case initials of the company placed back to back in order to form the neck and wings of a cockerel.Seeing one of Dirty Bird's recent promotional images, however; one might be given cause to doubt their professed innocence.And people ask why I like living on this spiteful little island
Chaaaaange?"Why don't you launch a Kickstarter campaign?""Have you heard of Patreon?""Why doesn't your site have a Donate button?"Put simply, I have this (evidently archaic) opinion that; if you want to make money, you have to do the work first. I don't like the idea of taking money off people unless they get something for it immediately, not [insert timeframe here] down the line. It feels like a scam. That's why I produce all those cheap digital comics: to finance my larger projects (and which is why I get pissed off when I find them being distributed freely online, because it slows everything down).Even for large projects, like video-games that only have a niche audience and which big publishers won't ever assist: I don't see crowd funding as a particularly good way to go about getting production capital. I prefer the early release approach, such as that Mojang took with Minecraft.No complete product? Giv
So THAT'S why we don't let them have guns?Following reports of a man walking around a Lancashire town with a sword, one Mr Colin Farmer was tasered into submission.There WAS a drunk guy wandering around with a sword, but it wasn't Mr Colin Farmer.Mr Colin Farmer was 61, blind and had been carrying a white stick.*slow clap*http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-lancashire-19979184How much warning did they give this poor guy?! I usually stick up for the Police, because I know they have a tough job dealing with the unruly British public while bound down by seemingly infinite bureaucracy, but come on!"A Lancashire Police spokesman said the incident was being investigated and the officer's Taser had been withdrawn"Screw that! Take away his helmet. Make him wear one of those cheap plastic ones you give kids to dress-up in. Bloody amateur.The whole thing makes me think of Ned and Jimbo from South Park shouting "BIRD!" and then opening fire without a second's hesitation.
Russian politics: the art of flimsy excuses.On the whole, believe there's a difference between the people that run a country and the rest of the people who live within its borders. Politicians, regardless of where in the world they hail from, are generally bullies. You have to be a special kind of egomanic, self-serving prick to claw your way into a position where you have the power to put other people in harm's way to benefit your own agenda. The only difference geography seems to bring is a level of subtlety. British politicians are slimy and insidious, American politicians rely on drama and theatre, and as we've seen over the last couple of days: Russian politicians are obsessed with proving they carry the biggest stick, at the expense of everything else.Of course, in order to prove you have a big stick, you have to actually use it. That's quite difficult in this day and age. A couple of hundred years ago, a master of a people could just point to a spot on the map, say "Want!" and his army

On Graduating-Hey guys, I know for a lot of you graduation is coming up super fast, and it seems completely absurd that it's been almost a year ago since I was in that boat. I well remember the two options presented to me:1) Get a studio job. Preferably close to home.2) Move back in with my parents. Possibly get a day job or something.I just wanted to remind ...whoever is reading this... that there are about a gazillion alternatives. In fact, any possible train of actions you can conceive of is an option. It's hard to think of options not presented to you as options, but you really can go anywhere and do anything. This is the only time in our lives when we don't have any greater obligations- we don't have a wife and kids to provide for, no company that would collapse without us, our bodies can handle sleeping on a springy old couch for a while. This is EXACTLY when you should take a gigantic risk because the only thing y
Tropes Vs Women: Damsel in Distress Part 3Today marks the 3rd installment of Anita Sarkeesian's "Tropes vs Women in Gaming" series about the Damsel in Distress trope. This time the topic is about approaching the flip side of the coin, games where there is a female protagonist in charge, and why they either fail or aren't enough to combat the reoccurrence of the "kidnap princess" gameplay mechanic.Once again... what the hell is everyone getting so angry about? She has a very valid point, AND she goes into detail about both why ironic subversions aren't beneficial to an overall goal of equality, AND offers suggestions on how to make a damsel in distress game work where the damsel is the protagonist you play as and isn't a hyper sexualized character.All of this is basic gameplay creation 101 stuff, things anyone just starting to make games in the industry should be learning or trying to achieve, and the fact that more people AREN'T trying to fix things is part of the reason why Anita even needs to make videos like this in

Illustration and Emotion according to Petar...In my never-ending crusade to prove to Deviantart users that 99% of them are illustrators and that it's a legitimate form of art, I thought I would share this cool article. The blog Muddy Colors is an excellent resource for any illustrator, professional or aspiring or hobbyist, and this is a particularly insightful entry from one of my favourite illustrators, Petar Meseldzija on the topic of making emotionally charged work. Scroll down to the bottom of the entry and this is part I of II so stay posted!http://muddycolors.blogspot.com/2011/11/illuxcon-4.htmlMy own commentary as it relates to deviantart: We can get a little short-sighted here. I've been thinking a lot about this recently because I've been looking at some of those "draw this again!" memes and, while it's really inspiring to see so much improvement in technique, there are very few entries which change anything about the drawing (the pose, the scenario, the background, the emotio
Post mortem 2011Its time to close another chapter in my life for 2011. Its been an awesome year, alot of self-development going on in my life and I owe it to many people that walked into my life. I've gone through thick and thin, through many storms and calm seas and survived.Five years... felt like yesterday I walked into my first job as an animator back in 2007. Truthfully, I never liked being an animator but I don't hate it. I'd learn alot in doing animation and post-production (its fun to edit stuff sometimes) but my real love is in doing illustrations, and concepts. Bleh, if you see my animation work, you'll burn your eye sockets. haha Since I want to do more illustration stuff, I decided to work my way to become a concept artist, keep on practicing, drawing inspirations, doing background and visual designs for various projects, over-influenced by other masters, re-evaluate my style (I still don't see which part of my style is like Gorillaz...seriously haha but I take it a
Random MusingsYou know what character I've always wanted to draw correctly but never could? Jasmine from Aladdin. No matter how many times I've tried, studying the character, the animation, etc... I just can't do it right. I don't know what I'm doing wrong.For that matter I wish I had a more disney-seque style of drawing. I think you can see some Mickey Mouse and Bone inspirations in my shorter cartoony characters like Spot or Talus... but when it comes to human beings I have a very hard time moving away from my Rumiko Takahashi roots. I really envy some of my fellow artists here on DA who have gorgeous linework and character designs, especially in the realm of the face. I've tried but, like Jasmine, I struggle.When I get Super Mario 3D Land for my 3DS, you can probably expect to see a lot of fanart of characters running around with Tanookie tails. I friggin' LOVED the leaf powerup in Super Mario Bros 3 and it's been damn close to 20 years since it's been in a new Mario game.I hate spoilers, but
Improving and The Magic NibFrom time to time I'll hear questions from other artists concerning artistic pathways. It probably stems from seeing my work over the years. Early in my career I was given a tremendous opportunity to draw the first Prophet book for Image Comics. I had years of inking experience behind me but I had never drawn a full comic book prior to that experience. The first issue sold nearly a half million copies. My first foray into penciling/inking was quite a spectacle... Looking back, it's one of the most cringe-worthy books from the 90's. That was a little over 20 years ago. When I returned to the comic book field I was a different artist thankfully. Obviously 20 years is a long time for a growth curve.Check out some of my Journals here on DA. I delve into getting into the business and what pushed me, etc. Mostly it's just focusing on weaknesses and addressing them. Fixing what's broke or doesn't perform as well as I feel it should. Whic
My Best Motivational TipWhen I become overcome with the guilt and shame and fear as a result of my constant procrastination, I have one trick to get me off my ass that works every time.Now, lots of other people and blogs and whatever are all like "look how lucky you are" and "puppies and rainbows" and "if you get it done now, you'll feel better" and lots of other positive shit. While all this stuff is true, I'm still playing Assassin's Creed II for like four hours a day. It doesn't motivate me at all. I still don't want to write a 500 word essay on the subtle differences between the book and the film adaptation of The Road that's due, like, tomorrow.So here's what I think of."Michael Bay wants me to fail."Insert your own celebrity arch nemesis if you want to, but basically choose someone so crap that it makes you angry. Preferably someone who's getting paid buckets of money to do whatever they do to piss you off.Competitive nature and the desire to prove your chosen asshole wrong should take over.

Ministers involved in Tinkler scheme, ICAC told
PUBLISHED: 06 Aug 2014 11:24:00 | UPDATED: 06 Aug 2014 14:59:52PRINT EDITION: 06 Aug 2014ICAC has heard evidence that former Liberal and Labor ministers were involved in a campaign by Nathan Tinkler to use illegal donations and the promise of cushy jobs to build a coal terminal in Newcastle. Photo: Nathan Tinkler
Geoff Winestock
Allegations of breaches of campaign funding laws by coal baron Nathan Tinkler, $10,000 handed over in a brown paper bag and political favours by ministers were raised in an explosive opening statement at the NSW Independent Commission Against Corruption on Wednesday.
Geoffrey Watson, SC, said on the first day of what will be weeks of hearings there was evidence that former Labor ministers Joe Tripodi and Eric Roozendaal and Liberals Chris Hartcher and Mike Gallacher were involved in a campaign by Mr Tinkler to use illegal donations and the promise of cushy jobs to build a coal terminal in Newcastle.
Mr Watson also raised questions about the role played by Liberal party federal president Brian Loughnane in "washing" campaign funds and by Ian McNamara, the current chief of staff of NSW Opposition leader John Robertson.
In the first day of hearings after a two-month break, Mr Watson said that given the extent of the illegal donations from Mr Tinkler and other property developers, "a real question arises as to the validity of the result" in the close 2011 election for the seat of Newcastle.
Mr Watson said the Liberal Party used "subterfuge" to raise cash from property developers who were prohibited donors via schemes that involved former police minister Gallacher, former energy minister Hartcher and the current MP for Newcastle Tim Owen.
Mr Watson said there was evidence that Mr Gallacher was "aware of these arrangements and suggested some of them".
The inquiry was shown a text message from Hugh Thompson, a Liberal campaign manager, to Mr Gallacher asking about a $120,000 payment apparently from Mr Tinkler, referred to as the "big man." The text read, "How's our big man going with the 120k.".
The arrangements involved sending sham invoices for Liberal campaign expenses to be paid by companies related to property developers.
Bills for campaign media services were sent to a company called Newcastle Yachts and a carpet company and then paid by Mr Tinkler's firm BuildDev.
Mr Watson said that property developer Jeff McCloy, now Newcastle lord mayor, handed $10,000 to Liberal MP Andrew Cornwell in a brown paper bag. Mr Watson said Mr Cornwell accepted the money but he was embarrassed and inexperienced about campaign funding.
The inquiry heard that Mr Hartcher had personally lobbied a Liberal MP Garry Edwards to back a marina development proposal by Buildev near Newcastle.
A previous stage of the inquiry heard that Mr Hartcher's staffer Tim Koelma raised about $60,000 from Mr Tinkler via a slush fund called Eightbyfive.
Mr Watson said another section of the inquiry will look at the role of former ALP ministers Tripodi and Roozendaal who favored Mr Tinkler's coal terminal in the port of Newcastle.
He said Mr Tripodi helped orchestrate campaigns called "Fed Up" and Stop Jodi's Trucks" to undermine the sitting ALP Jodi McKay who opposed the BuildDev coal terminal and backed a rival container terminal. Mr Watson said the two ALP MPs acted in ways that were "out of step with their ministerial responsibilities and quite improperly took steps to benefit (Mr Tnkler's property firm) Buildev."
Mr Watson said there was evidence Mr Tripodi was seeking a job from Mr Tinkler after he quit politics. He said Mr Roozendaal inexplicably delayed approval of the rival proposal for a container terminal on the same site which was favoured by Ms McKay and the Port of Newcastle.
He said Mr McNamara, then a Labor party staffer who was a protégé of Mr Tripodi's, tried to "spear" the container terminal and favored Buildev.
Mr Watson said the inquiry had uncovered evidence that senior figures in the Liberal Party "washed" donations from prohibited donors through a trust called the Free Enterprise Foundation.
Funds from Mr Tinkler and other property developers were sent to the Free Enterprise donated them to the Federal Liberal Partry which then credited the money to the NSW division.
The inquiry was shown an email in which Colin Gracie, a Federal Liberal staffer, was asked about the use of the Free Enterprise Foundation.
He said that the Liberal policy approved by Mr Loughnane was that there was no benefit for a NSW donor to donate via the federal party "unless they are a property developer".
The inquiry continues.

Chips & gravy all round & get Corrie on the telly
Trip Start
Feb 26, 2010
Trip End
Feb 26, 2011
Where I stayed
It took us two hours to arrive at our first stop of the trip, Cai Be, to see the floating village and some of the local villages. We all boarded a boat at the harbour and sailed out to see the traders selling fruit, vegetables and fish, to be honest we expected to see more people trading but maybe that was do to it being a Saturday, we werent too sure. We were then taken to a bee farm right on the side of the river where we got to see the bees in their hives and sampled tea flavoured with the bees honey which was absolutely delicious. We sat around the table drinking the tea that had been specially set out for us, with bees buzzing around then in the corner I spotted a couple of live snakes in a cage with snakeskin belts and wallets draped over the top - all a little surreal.
Next we were taken to see sweets being made from coconut milk, the whole process was explained to us and we got to sample the sweets afterwards - still warm coconut caramel gorgeous. Then we were shown how rice cakes and rice 'pop' is made (also sold as candy). We were amazed at all the industry going on under basically one roof. The rice 'pop' was essentially sugar puffs and it was made in a very similar way to pop corn. Before we left Andrew had a coconut juice straight from the shell, apparently it is one of the most refreshing and thirst quenching things you can drink. We needed it it was roasting.
We all got back on the boat and travelled along the river for about an hour observing daily life, it was facinating. We stopped for lunch at a river side restaurant and had a meal of rice, salad and pork with fresh fruit then we had a walk around and stumbled across a crocodile enclosure. There were a couple of other tourists there already who were dangling pieces of raw meat from make shift fishing rods from a platform. The crocodiles all circled around under the meat until one would just pounce and all the others would thrash around. We were then 'treated' to some traditional music where the waitresses from the restaurant 'sang' along with a couple of very old men playing guitar. It was more of a screech really and they acted out a story at one point embracing each other while one of them stroked the others hair. All a bit weird.
After all this we took the boat to Vinh Long where we picked up the bus and drove 3 hours to Chau Doc where we would be staying for the night. On the way we stopped at another hotel and picked up Julia from Old Trafford! After a chat on the coach between the 4 northerners discussing the football, chips and gravy and Coronation Street we got to the hotel and after the warning that we had received from the guide about a couple who had eaten in one of the local restaurants and were rushed to hospital as some wash the food and cook in river water, we decided to skip dinner and try to get an early night as we wanted to get up at 1am to watch the England game.
The alarm went off, we woke up and we wished we hadnt bothered.........

Earth Prime
This article needs additional citations for verification. (September 2012) |
Earth Prime (or Earth-Prime) is a term sometimes used in works of speculative fiction involving parallel universes or a multiverse, and refers either to the universe containing "our" Earth 5, or to a parallel world with a bare minimum of divergence points from Earth as we know it. The "Earth Prime" of a given fictional setting may or may not have an intrinsic value to or vital connection to the other Earths it exists alongside (although it appears to be the case that such Prime Earths -and sometimes the 'central universes' in which those Prime Earths exist as well -are portrayed in fiction to be vital to the existence of the other Earths).

However, Earth Prime became an alternate reality in its first appearance in The Flash #179 (May, 1968), when the Flash accidentally travels there from Earth-One by being pushed by a creature called The Nok. The Flash, stranded, contacts DC Comics editor Julius Schwartz,[1] who helps him construct a cosmic treadmill to return to Earth-One. Eventually it was stated that the writers of DC Comics of Earth Prime unconsciously base their stories on the adventures of the heroes on Earth-One and Earth-Two.
In The Flash #228 (July/Aug 1974),[2] Earth Prime's Cary Bates travels to Earth-One, where he discovers that the stories he writes are not only based on events on Earth-One, but can actually influence these events as well. This power turns for the worse in Justice League of America #123 (October 1975),[3] when Bates is accidentally transported to Earth-Two. The interdimensional trip temporarily turns Bates into a supervillain, and he quickly kills the Justice Society of America. Luckily fellow DC writer Elliot S. Maggin, with the help of the Justice League and the Spectre, is able to restore matters on both Earths in Justice League of America #124 (November 1975).[4]
The first Ultraa was introduced in Justice League of America #153. Like Superman, Ultraa was the sole survivor of a destroyed alien world, rocketed to Earth-Prime as a baby. After his first encounter with the Justice League, Ultraa decided Earth-Prime was not ready for superheroes and relocated to Earth-One. Post-Crisis, when there was no longer an Earth-Prime or greater multiverse, Ultraa was retconned into being from the planet Almerac, homeworld of Maxima. In Multiversity: Ultraa Comics, a version similar to the original is set to be introduced.
The second superhero (later villain) is Superboy-Prime, the true Superman from which all the other Supermen originate. He first appeared in DC Comics Presents #87 (Nov. 1985). This Superboy's powers first manifested around the time of the passage of Halley's Comet in 1985. Just after manifesting his powers, Superboy-Prime met Earth-One's Superman. Very soon thereafter Earth-Prime was destroyed in Crisis on Infinite Earths #10. Superboy-Prime escaped his universe's destruction, and later joined Earth-Two's Superman, Earth-Two's Lois Lane-Kent, and Earth-Three's Alexander Luthor in a "paradise dimension".
Superboy Prime possesses powers far exceeding those of the modern "New-Earth" Superman (Kal-El).
In issue #6 of the Infinite Crisis mini-series, a now anti-heroic Superboy-Prime convinced Alexander Luthor that Earth-Prime was the ideal world and urged him to draw his inspiration for making a new Earth from Earth-Prime. Luthor began searching through the myriad Earths for Earth-Prime and, in a metatextual nod to Earth Prime's original status as the keystone Earth, looks directly at the readers and reaches out towards them to grab our reality.
In 2004, DC revisited the Earth-Prime concept in the miniseries Superman: Secret Identity. Writer Kurt Busiek states in the introduction to the collected volume of the series that the original appearance of Superboy-Prime was the inspiration for his graphic novel.
Legion of Super-Heroes[edit]
In 2008 the Final Crisis tie in series Legion of Three Worlds, makes various references to Earth-Prime, while Superboy-Prime is still looking to make his "Perfect Earth". He starts by rebuilding the Legion of Super-Villains to fight Superman and the three versions of the Legion of Super-Heroes. During the battle, the 2004 team's Element Lad created Kryptonite that unexpectedly affected Superboy-Prime. The Kryptonite of New Earth had no effect on Superman (Kal-L) and Prime during Infinite Crisis.
At the end of the mini series, it's revealed that Earth-Prime has been reborn and Superboy-Prime was returned there. It was also revealed that the Threeboot Legion are from Earth-Prime's future.
Marvel Comics[edit]
In the fictional Marvel Universe, the 'Earth Prime' of that setting is designated by extradimensional cartographers as Earth-1218,[5] where real-life readers buy Marvel Comics. On some occasions, various characters of the Marvel Universe, looking for their version of God, encounter 'real world' figures such as Jack Kirby and Stan Lee. Yet other characters are capable of breaking the fourth wall and addressing the readers directly, such as the She-Hulk and Deadpool; and still others, such as the Earth's Watcher, Uatu, is possessed of the ability to see all alternate Earths in the Marvel Universe setting at will, including the real one in which he and all other beings are nothing more than fictional characters (in some early issues of What If?, the Watcher actually addressed the reader by showing him which issues of which comics the past exploits of a given character could be found in).
Earth Prime, as used in the television show Sliders, is the name of the alternate Earth where the four original sliders (Quinn Mallory, Wade Welles, Rembrandt Brown, and Maximillian Arturo) started their journey. This Earth was the same as ours until 1997 or 1998, when the Kromaggs slid onto Earth Prime and conquered it.
The Dark Tower[edit]
Much of the action in the last few books of Stephen King's Dark Tower series takes place in "the keystone world", essentially the Earth Prime concept under a different name, complete with appearances by King himself as a character.
The Chronicles of Amber[edit]
Though not using the term "Earth Prime", Roger Zelazny's The Chronicles of Amber fantasy series features a similar concept. In the Amber stories, Amber is the only true world; all others, including our Earth, are but "shadows" of the tension between it and Chaos.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles[edit]
In the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles made-for-TV film, Turtles Forever, Ch'rell (or 2003 series's version of The Shredder), took the technodrome from his 1987 series counterpart and Krang and upgraded it with Utrom technology. He later decided to destroy Turtle-Prime to destroy the multiverse. He was stopped by the three teams of turtles from the Prime, 1987, and 2003 universes. Although the true "Earth Prime" of the movie would be that inhabited by Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird in the closing shot, shown putting the finishing touches on the first issue of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles comic book.
In other media[edit]
- In the DC animated feature Justice League: Crisis on Two Earths, the villainous Owlman's ultimate goal is to locate a universe that he designates as Earth Prime, the so-called "original" universe that all other universes stem from, and destroy it, thus leading to the destruction of all reality as well, due to believing that the existence of a multiverse meant nothing truly matters. Earth Prime is shown to be a desolate barren wasteland of a planet which has been ripped out of orbit, with ruins as far as the eye can see. It is unknown what exactly caused its desolation, though Owlman reasons that mankind was destroyed by itself or by the Anti-Monitor.
- In the final episode of Spider-Man: The Animated Series, after saving the multiverse from Spider-Carnage, an evil version of himself from an alternate Earth, Spider-Man briefly visits Earth Prime and meets his own creator, Stan Lee.

1992 Toyota Celica GT 2dr Convertible
Bought my convertible a little over 2 years ago, and it's needed nothing but regular routine maintenance (previous owner took great care of it - front struts, axles, tie rods, brakes were replaced before I bought it, and I don't drive it all that far in daily driving). The convertible is perfect for east Tennessee (south of Knoxville) as I can drop the top about 10 months out of 12. :) The only thing I'm looking at as being a major $$$ project is having the top either repaired or replaced - the car was "converted" in May of '92, and it's the original top... there are a couple of seams where the threads are starting to fray, but no leaks yet, thankfully. Only regret is the automatic tranny.

Cornell loved children (especially girls), and he didn't mind letting them play with his artworks like toys. Young people were his preferred audience and one of his numerous obsessions. Their images appear frequently in the form of cherubs, dolls, and Florentine princes in his intimate works, which are marked by a childish sense of idyllic romance. Like a wise child, Cornell was both erudite and innocent. Avant-garde yet old-fashioned, a voyeur and a virgin, he sealed his fantasies and dreams in wooden shadow boxes filled with magazine cutouts, bright-colored balls, sand, and mirrors.
The artist died in 1972. But if he were alive, he would surely have decided against making the trip to West Palm Beach to see Joseph Cornell: Boxes and Collages, the spellbinding retrospective of holdings from his estate that is on display at the Norton through May 4. While Cornell's work traveled widely during his lifetime, he preferred to stay at home in Queens, in the house on Utopia Parkway where for most of his life he resided with his mother and his disabled brother Robert. There he embarked on what he once dubbed "bathrobe journeying," or daydreaming -- mental voyages made real in the art he created at the kitchen table or in a basement workshop he crammed with found materials and treasured souvenirs.
It is because of his dreamlike vision that Cornell is usually categorized as a surrealist. He was definitely influenced by that Paris-based group of artists, and he found himself exhibiting with them in New York at the outset of his artistic career. He shared with them a talent for surprising juxtapositions and a delight for found objects. But he was an observant Christian Scientist, a shy, prudish young man who worshiped girls from a distance. Disapproving of their bawdy puns and lewd behavior, embarrassed by their sexual excess, he never considered himself one of the surrealists.
Cornell's symbiotic relationship with artists of this century went far beyond surrealism, as this exhibition of more than 60 boxes and collages from the late Thirties to the Sixties attests. The wonder of these works has not lessened with time; in fact, hindsight makes them even more marvelous. From his appropriation of images from movie magazines and advertisements to his spare geometric constructions, the degree to which minimalism, pop art, postmodernism, and numerous other "isms" are indebted to Cornell is clearly in evidence here. While he admired and learned from the work of colleagues including Marcel Duchamp, Max Ernst, and the recently departed Willem de Kooning, his own influence has been vast.
"Artists who agreed on little else agreed on Cornell," writes art critic Deborah Solomon in her compelling new biography Utopia Parkway: The Life and Work of Joseph Cornell, published last month by Farrar, Straus and Giroux. A sensitive look at an unusual man, the book stresses Cornell's role as a quintessentially American original who brought the spirit of the European avant-garde to twentieth-century American art. "Cornell deserves credit for mixing up media decades before American culture became a culture of mix-masters," Solomon writes. "He found the sublime at the five-and-dime."
The artist was born on Christmas Day 1903 in Nyack, New York, a village on the Hudson River not far from New York City. His father, a fabric designer, died when Cornell was a boy, and he was sent to boarding school at Andover with tuition from his father's employer. After graduation he returned home to care for his demanding mother and wheelchair-bound brother, and remained with them for the rest of their lives. (He also had two sisters, who later married.) The family moved to Queens, and Joseph worked as a fabric salesman in Manhattan. A voracious reader, he alleviated the tedium of his days by browsing the used bookstalls in Greenwich Village. At night he sometimes went to the ballet, where he'd stand alone in the back of the theater. Cornell collected programs and publicity photos of the fairylike dancers; smitten with their beauty, he wrote them letters and turned up at stage doors, forging awkward friendships with a few, who gave him snippets of fabric from their tutus that he later used in his work. Sylphide Souvenir Case (1940-42), on display at the Norton, is a square, covered box lined with pink fabric. A picture of a ballerina sits atop a shell inside the box's top. A bottom compartment holds beads, glitter, tiny spiraling shells, and bits of tulle.

Live it. The existential approach is to live the problem. Be in it, deeply! If there is fear, then be fearful. Then don't befool yourself by creating some bravery; don't befool yourself that you are not in fear. Don't befool yourself that the soul is immortal so there is no death. Death is there. And you will never know that the soul is immortal unless you know death.
I am not saying that the soul is not immortal. What I am saying is this: that you cannot fool your being like that. You go on saying that the soul is immortal, repeating it continuously, but the fear will still be there. Really, you are repeating it because of the fear. You don't know. You just want to reject the fear through some explanation: "The soul is immortal, so I am not going to die." You can create an illusory, temporary solution, but death is there and the fear will be there.
If death is there, accept it. It is so; it is going to happen. Disease is there: it is so. Old age is there: it is so, it is going to happen. And you cannot help yourself. You just have to face it.
The existential approach means facing life's problems. And once you face a problem, it is no longer there. Only your escape creates it. For example, death is there. If you accept that death is there, it is going to happen, it is a certainty, the only certainty really.
Nothing is as certain as death. Everything is uncertain. Death is the only certainty; it is going to happen. You have been promised death the moment you have accepted life. It is only the other pole of birth, the phenomenon of birth. It is going to happen. In fact, it has happened with your birth. You are bound to die. With this acceptance there will be fear. Accept the fear, accept death - and the moment you have accepted it totally, where is fear?
The fear comes because of nonacceptance: "I should not die! How can I become so death-proof that I am not going to die? How can I be certain that death is not going to come to me? It may come to everyone, but I should be the exception." This creates fear. The being knows that this is impossible: you cannot be the exception. The being knows perfectly well that your explanations will not do, that death will come.
You know perfectly well, you know absolutely, you are certain. As far as your deeper sources of life are concerned, you know that death is going to be. It is not something that is coming to you; it is something that is developing in you, something that is growing in you. So your roots know it well: they are growing death, they are constantly growing. Birth was the first act toward death. Your being knows well that death is there, going to happen. You can befool consciously, you can create theories - and the unconscious will know that you are going to die and the fear will be there.

Federal Tort Claims Act:
Information Related to Implications of Extending Coverage to Volunteers at HRSA-Funded Health Centers
GAO-09-693R: Published: Jun 24, 2009. Publicly Released: Jun 24, 2009.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
- Accessible Text:
(202) 512-7207
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
The Federal Tort Claims Act (FTCA) was enacted in 1946 and permits individuals injured by the wrongful or negligent acts or omissions of federal employees, including medical malpractice, to seek and receive compensation from the federal government through an administrative process and, ultimately, through the federal courts. The FTCA, with few exceptions, provides the exclusive means by which individuals can seek compensation when injured by federal employees acting within the scope of their work for the federal government; in effect, the FTCA largely immunizes federal government employees from tort liability, including medical malpractice. In 1993, medical malpractice coverage under FTCA was first extended to grantees of the Department of Health and Human Services' (HHS) Health Resources and Services Administration's (HRSA) Health Center Program. The centers funded by this program, referred to in this report as Health Centers, are designed to increase access to primary care for medically underserved populations. While FTCA coverage is available to the approximately 1,100 Health Centers and their employees nationwide, it does not extend to health care providers who volunteer services at the 78 Health Centers currently using volunteers. The Health Care Safety Net Act of 2008 requires that GAO study the implications of extending FTCA coverage to health care providers who volunteer services to patients at Health Centers. As agreed with the committees of jurisdiction, for this report we describe (1) existing information on claims and lawsuits paid under current FTCA coverage for Health Centers, (2) existing information on the potential financial implications of extending FTCA coverage to volunteers in Health Centers, (3) how such an extension could have an impact on volunteerism at Health Centers, and (4) other selected federal and state efforts to protect health care volunteers.
About $298 million has been paid for 639 resolved claims or lawsuits that arose from claims under Health Centers' existing FTCA coverage for the centers and their employees, from fiscal year 1993 through early fiscal year 2009. The number of claims and lawsuits filed has generally grown since the start of the program. As of March 2009, a total of 2,594 administrative claims and 890 federal lawsuits had been filed. Of these filed claims and lawsuits, HHS had settled 185 claims through the administrative process and DOJ had settled or tried 454 lawsuits filed in federal court--a total of 639 resolved claims and lawsuits. Of the remaining claims, 646 were disallowed during the administrative review process and the rest have not yet been resolved. CBO estimated that an additional $6 million would be paid in claims and lawsuits from fiscal years 2009 through 2013 if FTCA coverage were expanded to Health Center volunteers. CBO estimated that the expansion would result in claim and lawsuit costs of less than $500,000 in fiscal year 2009, $1 million in each of fiscal years 2010 and 2011, and $2 million in each of fiscal years 2012 and 2013. While FTCA coverage for Health Centers currently does not extend to volunteer health care providers, there are multiple federal and state efforts intended to protect health care volunteers. However, information on the impact of these efforts is limited. Two federal efforts may protect volunteer health care providers. First, FTCA medical malpractice coverage has been extended to volunteers at free clinics, which are nonprofit volunteer-based health care organizations that are not part of the HRSA Health Center Program. Since 2004, just over 100 of the approximately 1,200 free clinics have pursued the option to apply to HRSA to have volunteers covered--or "deemed"--by FTCA and, as of April 2009, approximately 3,300 free clinic volunteers were covered under FTCA. As of April 2009, only one malpractice claim, for approximately $5 million, had been filed against a deemed free clinic volunteer. Second, the Volunteer Protection Act of 1997 (VPA) may also provide volunteers with some protection from liability. VPA generally provides liability protection from ordinary negligence to individuals who volunteer for government entities and nonprofit organizations--including Health Centers--for actions occurring during the course of their volunteer work. Additionally, at the federal level, because defenses available to private individuals are applicable under FTCA, VPA's protection against liability for ordinary negligence may be applicable for claims and suits involving volunteers at Health Centers. In addition to these federal efforts, experts and state officials we spoke with identified several efforts made by states and other entities to encourage the provision of health care services by volunteers. According to one 2007 analysis of state laws, 43 states had enacted laws granting volunteers some level of immunity from liability associated with their volunteer activities, and 35 of these states specifically referenced volunteer health care providers. Another review of state laws published in 2004 found that 10 states substitute the state as the defendant in place of the volunteer provider. States and other entities have also developed other mechanisms to assist health centers and clinics to secure medical malpractice coverage, such as allowing providers to purchase malpractice coverage for volunteers through the state or providing volunteers the option of purchasing discounted liability coverage.

Rams rejected again for scottish striker
Derby County have been rebuffed again in their quest for
The Rams came away empty handed again after a second, improved offer for Johnny Russell. Tthe 23 year old was the subject of an original offer, said to be of around £650,000 which Dundee United waved away.
Russell has been the subject of interest from other Championship clubs and one Italian team, so Derby County went in with a higher offer, thought to be around £750,000, but again the powers that be at Dundee United have rejected the offer.
Dundee are believed to be wanting to make money out of the young striker and his contract comes to an end at the end of next season, so a sale is pending. However with several clubs known to be tracking Russell Dundee United may be turning any sale into an auction.
Whether the Rams have the resolve, ambition or cash to chase Russell is unknown but may potentially point to the strength of their ambition in the coming season...

Latest update : 2013-05-01
Retailers deal with fallout from Bangladesh building collapse
Today on the net: several clothing brands use the net in an attempt to save their image after the Bangladesh disaster; the US web rushes to the rescue of a World War II veteran; and a young Californian man cycles on a giant bike.
Retailers deal with fallout from Bangladesh building collapse
British textile brand Primark and the Canadian supermarket chain Loblaw have just announced that they are to compensate the families of those who died last week when a textile factory building collapsed in Bangladesh.
Since the disaster, clothing companies with links to the factory have been trying to protect their images on the social networks. After shirts bearing its labels were found in the rubble, the Italian brand, Benetton were quick to react on Twitter, declaring that the contract signed with this supplier had come to an end several weeks prior to the tragedy.
In a communiqué released on Facebook, Spanish brand, Mango also attempted to distance themselves from the event, stipulating that they routinely audit their suppliers to check employee working conditions.
But these explanations do not seem to be enough to convince the many net users who have flooded the brands' social network pages in recent days. They left outraged remarks demanding in particular that the companies do all that is necessary to increase safety levels in Bangladeshi factories.
Meanwhile, consumers are also being encouraged to act. The NGO "Aid Action" is urging them to pay a voluntary tax on inexpensive T-shirts to offer financial support to victims' families.
USA: online campaign to help WWII veteran save his house
At ninety one, US World War two veteran, John Potter still lives in the house he built in Ohio in 1959. But the old man could soon find himself on the streets. His daughter, who bought the property in 2004, is currently facing severe financial difficulties and has decided to sell the house; caring little what happens to her father. An intolerable situation for John's granddaughter Jaclyn, who has decided to call on net users' generosity to help her grandfather.
The young woman has launched an online fundraising campaign on the crowdfunding platform "Go Fund Me" to allow her grandfather to buy back his house and end his days there. And it has been a fruitful endeavour, as thirty five of the one hundred and twenty five thousand dollars needed to buy back the property were obtained within the space of just two weeks.
And to ensure she reaches her objective, Jaclyn regularly promotes her campaign on the web. She has set up Facebook and Twitter accounts in her grandfather's name to share his story with as many people as possible and she also publishes videos in which the old man tells stories from his life and the war. The videos allow users to get to know John Potter better and are likely to encourage more than one net user to make a donation.
A collection of unflattering photos of celebrities
Very close-up shots of celebrities are what net users can discover on the Tumblr Celebrity Close-up blog which publishes rather unbecoming snaps of stars. Images which present contorted celebrities but which place an onus on the imperfections that famous figures generally hide from fans, such as spots or plastic surgery scars. An amusing site, which offers a new take on people who are used to being idolised.
Now trending on social networks
"Babe in a mug" is the latest big thing on social networks. A fashion started by Ilana Wiles, a US mum, who last week posted on her blog, "Mommy Shorts", this photo of her five month old son. A cleverly taken picture which leads you to believe that the infant is appearing suddenly from a mug. Since its publication, there have been countless imitations of the picture. Hundreds of net users have also photographed their children, taking care to hide the bottom of their bodies with a mug. Similar snaps can also be taken with pets.
Video of the day
A young Californian man named Richie Trimble has invented an incredible four metre high bike which he decided to ride around LA last week. The bike offers the person straddling it unbeatable views of the surrounding scenery but must be nonetheless rather difficult to manoeuvre.

La Boca
Buenos Aires
Concierge.com's insider take:
The open-air tchotchke market and boisterous tango zone that operates along the colorful, scimitar-shaped byway known as Caminito is the city's only outdoor museum. Lined with rickety dwellings topped with corrugated metal roofs and painted every color of the rainbow, Caminito is both a cheesy tourist trap and a can't-miss destination, as well as a poignant love letter to La Boca's—and B.A.'s—immigrant past. The name "Caminito" ("little walkway") was lifted from an old tango chestnut whose sad lyrics are enshrined here on a commemorative plaque.

To do so is called a "century," and is a mark of pride among amateur riders. To do so for 21 days (the Tour de France does contain two rest days), over some of the most challenging terrain in the world, in a field comprised of the world's fastest cyclists (even a last-place Tour finisher would utterly dominate any regional road race in America) is a near-superhuman feat.

You made a comment a ways back when this begin that you can not blame the parants. Well I am sorry but the father and mother should have done something with their son and paid more attention to him instead of taking care of you and your kids. When you had a mother and grandparants that should have been supporting you instead of him. He should have been supporting his own kids and helping them instead of you.

Furnish eco-friendly kitchen with bamboo flooring
Furnish eco-friendly kitchen with bamboo flooring
While incorporating green design into one's house has been a growing trend for sometime, according to The Mercury, doing so in the kitchen and bathroom is becoming increasingly popular.
To make these rooms more eco-friendly, homeowners should emply items that use less water. The news source recommends installing low-flow sink and showerheads.
Reducing energy-use can be an important as well. To easily accomplish this, individuals can lower the thermostat on the water heater and isntall LED lighting.
Another area to consider renovating to fit environmentally friendly standards is the flooring. The news provider suggets choosing a floor that comes from a sustainable material, like bamboo. Bamboo flooring is sustainable and aesthetically pleasing.
Although bamboo flooring provides homeowners with a long list of benefits, if it is not cared for properly it will not be as useful as possible. TLC.com suggests sweeping or dry-dusting the material daily as an effective way to keep the floor in the best possible condition. Occasionally using a damp mop can be a way to give the floor an especially deep clean.

Darlene Love
Darlene Love (née Wright; born July 26, 1941) is an American popular music singer and actress. She gained prominence in the 1960s for the song "He's a Rebel," a No. 1 American single in 1962, and was one of the Phil Spector artists who produced a celebrated Christmas album in 1963.
Darlene Love grew up in a community that was almost numb to the racial divide, at least in her family. Her father always told her to shoot for the stars and have your voice be as loud as possible. Darlene reflects on her childhood: "we didn't know we were poor"; she adds, "if we didn't know we were poor, we didn't 'know' we were black either."
As a minister's daughter, she grew up listening to gospel music and was a dedicated member of her church in San Antonio, Texas. She began singing in her church choir at age ten. During choir practice she caught the attention of choir director Cora Martin. After singing for Martin she was asked to go to the Music Mart where she sang and did some broadcasts; Love's career began there. As it was her first musical experience, it was also the main influence for her to pursue a music career. Those who knew her described her vocals as "a voice of a nightingale." She claimed, "(Singing in the choir) was a big influence on my life. I call it my learning ground. Singing in the choir, I learned harmony."
She appears in the documentary film 20 Feet from Stardom (2013), which premiered at the Sundance Film Festival and went on to win the Academy Award for best documentary. As an actress, she is perhaps best remembered for playing officer Roger Murtaugh's (Danny Glover) wife in the Lethal Weapon film series.

Kenya's Shilling Weakens First Time in 3 Days on Dollar Demand
Feb. 14 (Bloomberg) -- Kenya's shilling weakened for the first time in three days on increased demand for dollars.
The currency of East Africa's biggest economy depreciated as much as 0.6 percent to 83.38 per dollar and traded 0.2 percent lower at 83.15 as of 2:04 p.m. in Nairobi, the capital.
"The shilling has weakened due to increased dollar demand from businesses trying to accumulate at the existing levels which are comparative high," Jeremiah Kendagor, acting head of trading at Nairobi-based Kenya Commercial Bank Ltd., said in a phone interview.
Policy makers boosted the key rate by 12 percentage points last year to rescue the shilling and combat inflation, which reached 19.7 percent in November. Since then, inflation has slowed to 18.3 percent in January as the impact of the worst drought in 60 years waned and the shilling surged 27 percent against the dollar from a low of 106.75 on Oct. 11.
Tanzania's shilling rose as much as 0.9 percent and traded 0.5 percent stronger at 1,590 per dollar as of 2:04 p.m.
