Image Comics' 'The Walking Dead' No. 94 Preview (Exclusive)
Can Jesus be trusted?
In issue No. 93 of Robert Kirkman's The Walking Dead comic, Rick, Abraham and Michonne went searching for what the group's fearless leader felt were another group of allegedly peaceful survivors in what he perceived as a threat.
But after coming up empty in after a search for a threat from the outsiders, Rick was left pondering if Jesus may have been right -- that there really could be a peaceful society willing to help his group of survivors continue on.
"Rick has hard time trusting anybody so of course he doesn't trust the guy," Kirkman tells The Hollywood Reporter. "Anytime a stranger comes in telling him good news, he's weary of them. He remembers his interaction with the Governor and other people that he has encountered over the years. This is something he's going to be weary of at all times. The real question right now is, is he going to ruin a potential good opportunity because of his lack of trust."
But could Jesus hold the key to opening up a larger world for Rick, Andrea, Michonne and company? Kirkman says as the series continues toward its 100th issue, it's something the series has yet to tackle -- not just surviving but rebuilding the world they once knew.
"We haven't really seen anyone working hard to actually re-establish civilization," he says heading into Issue No. 94. "That's really what we're looking at here; we have a pocket where Rick and all his people live and it's safe in the community and now they're potentially going to be discovering other similar pockets of civilization. If they're able to form a network or they're able to actually work together and try to deal with this problem on a much larger scale, you're a hop, skip and jump away from re-establishing civilization and that's a very exciting thing and that may or may not be what we're working toward right now."
Check out the first five pages of Image/Skybound's issue No. 94, exclusive to THR, in the pages that follow.
Image/Skybound's Walking Dead No. 94 bows on Wednesday.

Gordon's patient approach earns sixth Talladega victory
Jeff Gordon has won 80 races in his career. It's safe to say the Chase leader never put together a winning formula quite like the one he had at Talladega on Sunday, writes Terry Blount.
Updated: October 7, 2007, 9:53 PM ETBy Terry Blount | ESPN.com
TALLADEGA, Ala. -- Sandbagging, playing possum, call it whatever you wish.Jeff Gordon fooled everyone Sunday, coasting around in the back most of the day and patiently waiting for his moment to shine.It came with half a lap to go in the UAW-Ford 500. Gordon pulled to the fastest line at just the right instant, zooming by teammate Jimmie Johnson to win the first Car of Tomorrow race on a restrictor-plate track. The COT, the old car, probably even a tractor if he had to, Gordon can get it done at Talladega.Gordon swept the two Nextel Cup races this year on the giant 2.66-mile oval, becoming the only driver to win in two types of cars on the same track in a season. He won in the old model in April.This victory moved him back to the top spot in the Chase with six races remaining, leading Johnson by nine points.Gordon has six wins at Talladega, including four in the past eight Alabama races. But he'd never won one like this.The Hendrick Motorsports duo of Gordon and Johnson didn't try to get to the front for more than 140 laps of the 188-lap race. The strategy was to hang back and see what happened.And Gordon didn't like it one bit."It was terrible," Gordon said. "That was the hardest thing I've ever had to do in a race car. I've never yawned in a race car before, but I was yawning back there today."Crew chief Steve Letarte was doing the same on the pit box, but he didn't waver from the plan.
I didn't really see Tony, but my spotter told me the run was coming. The 20 [Stewart] drilled me and pushed me to the front.Ryan Newman had the lead, but one car, the best car most of the day, also was formulating his final game plan to win the race. That was Tony Stewart, who was seventh on the last restart.Everyone knew Stewart was the man to beat, so no one wanted to help him in the draft. While Stewart was using all his skills to lead a line to the front, Johnson and Gordon already were there.Johnson was first and Gordon was second on the inside line as they took the white flag, but the Stewart train was coming. Stewart got a run on the outside down the backstretch.A victory was within his grasp, but Gordon took it away. He swapped lines and jumped in front of Stewart at just the right moment."That changed everything," Gordon said. "I thought Jimmie was going to win the race. But that was my opportunity. I didn't really see Tony, but my spotter told me the run was coming. The 20 [Stewart] drilled me and pushed me to the front."By the time they got to the checkered flag, Stewart had fallen to eighth, losing more points to the Chase leaders.Stewart is one of the best at plate racing, but he still has a thing or two to learn from Gordon. Sunday's victory was the 80th of Gordon's career, but it also made him the all-time leader with 12 restrictor-plate wins in Cup events, passing Dale Earnhardt."I can't believe that," Gordon said. "Dale is still the master as far as I'm concerned. Heck, I still can't believe I won this one."
"I hate hanging back, but it really wasn't a hard decision," Letarte said. "No one knew what would happen in this race. We felt we had to do it."Gordon still had his doubts Sunday morning.
"We talked about it before the race," Gordon said. "I didn't want to do it. I said, 'I can't do this.' But I changed my mind because Steve convinced me. There were so many unknowns on this car that we decided to play it safe."The unknowns in the COT caused the drivers to play it safe most of the race, but the carnage eventually came. The typical "Big One" happened with 43 laps to go, and 11 cars were involved. It included three Chase drivers -- Matt Kenseth, Kyle Busch and Denny Hamlin."That's when we decided it was time to go racing," Johnson said. "It was tough to wait, but the patience worked."The strategy almost backfired on Gordon a few laps earlier when he ran over a hose in the pits and had to serve a pass-through penalty. He fell three-quarters of a lap behind, a big problem when you lose the main pack at Talladega.Letarte wasn't concerned: "Don't worry," Letarte told Gordon. "We're going to get a caution."When the Big One happened, Gordon was so far back that he easily stayed out of the melee. Then he was back in position to make his move. Once team orders came to mash the gas, Johnson and Gordon were like two champion thoroughbreds getting the whip and heading for home.Down the stretch they came, appearing to effortlessly pick off cars as they pushed to the front. On the final restart with eight laps to go, things had changed. Johnson was fourth and Gordon was 11th.

You can file a Chapter 7 if the filing date was over 8 years ago and you qualify based upon the new income requirements. If your vehicle is tied to a title loan you must either pay the title loan or surrender the vehicle. You cannot keep the vehicle and get rid of a title loan properly attached to the vehicle.

"Great listen!"
I come from a horror survival type book interest and found myself completely engrossed in this novel. The characters were engaging and frustrating and antagonistic. What else do you need? While the story lends itself to a younger audience than I, it wasnt hard to place myself into the authors world. I enjoyed this book and recommend the others in the series as well!
Cant wait for the movie! Oh yeah its coming! Good stuff!
"The Essential Human Nature Bible"
I gave this five stars for the content. This is not an audiobook that you can placidly listen too as you drive yourself through the insanity of todays world. This is a book that should be read word for word and pages in hand. It would seem that every line is a quote that could be used for some aspect of life and still relevant to this day. Buy this in hardcover and keep it beside the other Holy Book you love. They go hand in hand.
"Still relevant today"
This was a great listen...I searched months ago for this title and it wasnt available...low and behold in January there it is...the original survival epic written and based 10 miles from my backyard....awesome!

Almostt a thousand people poured onto the Capitol steps by the busload shouting "agua" and "water".
They held signs that read "no water equals no jobs".
"It's time for Sacramento to declare a drought," says Democratic Assembly member Henry Perea, who represents parts of the Central Valley including Fresno. "We need the resources that will be made available through that declaration to move water around to the parts of the state that desperately need them."The groups also want to see a bond placed on the 2014 ballot for water storage, clean drinking water and flood protection.
Republican State Senator Anthony Canella from the Central Valley says increased water storage should be part of the water bond package.
"When we don't have enough water, farmers don't farm, workers don't work and people don't eat," says Republican State Senator Anthony Canella who also represents parts of the Central Valley.
"California's agriculture is bigger than just California it feeds the world. So it's important that we invest in water in California, it's important that we get this bond passed and it's important that we keep water in the water bond," says Canella.

Nice weather for the weekend!
Oh, the forecast looks so promising - cool, dry days. Perfect for working on some of those chores I haven't had/made time for before: edging the grass, picking up sticks, cutting down that big ol' holly (chinese!) on the corner of the house ....
I'm making my list of things to do. How about you?
I am not into much landscaping things , though I do grass mowing etc.
But I do love gardening, growing new things. I am pretty much all set with veggies of various kinds.
Now I am focusing a bit on beautification and planting annual flowers.
I have started some allyssum, marigolds, petunia, and zinia. Also my purple hyacinth
pole beans are growing though very slowly. So are Passion flowers vines poking up , joining the chorus of climbers.
We are getting close to the show time.
Happy gardening ye'all
My number one chore right now is to go around the edge of my grass area and meticulously trim back all the little "fingers" of Bermuda grass that are trying to walk into my flower beds!!!!!!
Then I need to continue work on the slope, removing another foot wide strip of grass so I can eventually replace it with ground cover.
The veggies are planted -- squirrel patrol will start soon!
We are now at the point where everything can get out of control fast! You can just feel the plants ready to burst with energy!
I can't wait for the weekend!!!!!!
I plan to do some heavy work filling a new bed area with soil, and doing some rock work. Then plant a pineapple guava there. We need to weed wack the "wild" area, pinestraw some places, and dig out an area of the garden which has, believe it or not, NO acidity what soever and add some acids. I am going to angle for a trip to Hastings I think. I have not been there in many, many years.

My Hoya Nummularoides
Is going to bloom! This hoya has done nothing since I purchased it from C. Noel several months ago, and the other day, noticed around 6 or 7 penduncles. I already know this hoya will bloom around October-November but I didn't expect this one to do anything.
Thought I'd share. I'll post pics when it blooms.
Wow, that is late for numm. to bloom. Mine spent the whole month of September blooming this year, which is unusually early....but I do have 2 small ones that are blooming now, have been for about a week or two.
Thats one nice thing about this hoya, you can get flowers out of cuttings, you don't have to wait years and years.
Yes, they sure do grow up and no hoya is as "charming" as this one in full bloom! They grow slowly, though. Very slowly! If you can, best to start a plant with several cuttings.
I have a larger nummularioides that came from a now out of business grower, then I have one that my mom adopted that came from cuttings sent to me approx 2 yrs ago (that's in bloom now too) and I have the one in the above picture, which was a cutting (with no peduncles) that I planted late spring/early summer this year. The one in the above picture I have promised to someone and will be sending it in the spring. I will probably add another cutting from my bigger plant to it, because it did have a second cutting that died about a month ago...sometimes they just don't make it.
Fortunately, you can get a big nummularioides from Exotic Angel now.
"Hoya Carnosa Green Leaf"....I think! I haven't really looked much lately but a few months back, maybe mid to late summer, I saw alot of them around, especially at Home Depot. All of them were the bigger size, 10" I believe. You really have to go to the stores a few times a week to catch the fresh shipments, or if you can find a store with a friendly garden center manager, you might be able to sweet talk them into letting you know if a shipment arrives.
Shanna - I wanted to let you know I found mine at HD maybe 3 weeks ago or so, and believe it or not it was correctly labeled. It did have a different looking label than the ones normally used by EA, so maybe they are s.l.o.w.l.y. correcting their plants.
It was in a 6 or 8" pot and maybe $14.99 at the most?? If they don't have it I heard that they place their large spring orders sometime in January, so ask your local store and whether or not they can specifically order some you are interested in. That's what I plan on doing.
Happy Hunting!
Some Home Depots I have heard will do that, but a few in my area have told me they have no say in ordering, it is all done from the big corporate location and usually the order is "send us a selection."
It is worth a try, though. Or if you can find a garden center that still sells tropicals and gets EA plants, they could do it for you. There is one near me that ordered me a few last year.
I went to Home Depot and Lowes last night and was very dissappointed. Lowes had curtsii (3 hanging baskets)-don't have it yet but they didn't look good. and KP (have 2 of these.. Home Depot didn't have any hoyas and no hanging baskets of anything. Also their plants all looked pretty bad except the Norfork Island Pine's that they just got in and I didn't see any discounts on any of the crappy looking plants. They even had small jade plants in halloween planters and no dicount. I would've asked for a discount but I didn't see anything I had to have.
I will try to go and see if maybe at the beginning of Jan I can sweet talk some garden guy to order for me.
Shanna - Be careful it may have to be a girl you sweet talk to :)
Ines - That's true and even so than you never really know what you may or may not find at the big stores. Just for instance I asked my local one about any more shipments and they told me not until spring. Well I walked in today and to my surprise found 2 brevialata and 2 lacunosa. I don't know if it was a store to store transfer or what, and surprisingly they still looked pretty good. So we'll see.
lol They don't make the cameras very useful on tablets, do they? But I guess in a pinch!
It looks healthy. If the leaves are turning red, you must be giving it good light. Everything about your setup looks correct to me. If I don't ask, somebody will - are you fertilizing?
I don't think you will have to wait years. It probably just took some time to fill out its new root structure and will get moving above ground very soon. The longest it's ever taken one of mine, to finish adjusting and start growing at their natural steady pace, is one year.
That's a cute little thing, and looks healthy. The photo is totally fine, too.
It's not critical for growing, but I'd give it some sort of support. Stick a kebob stick into the corner of the pot and gently tie or clip the stem to it without pinching it. Hoyas can grow in any direction, but they prefer UP.
As for fertilizing, doing it "weakly weekly" is best, many people say. Use half the label strength and fertilize every time you water, give or take. Flush the pot generously with plain water once a month or so to get rid of fertilizer salts.
What is that medium? Looks like small grade growstone or perlite. I have not heard of people growing in perlite (only rooting) - maybe that's OK, I am not sure.
The pot size is totally appropriate. Most hoyas like to be tight in the roots.
Regarding light... It does look great with that reddish tint in the leaves, but part of me wonders if too much light is what's impeding growth. I doubt it, but summer is generally the season of rampant or at least SOME growth, so there's gotta be SOMEthing...
Underwatering is another potential culprit to give a thought to. Lots of light (and heat that generally comes with it, and fast evaporation that comes along), plus very fast-draining medium, plus a small pot - each but especially all together can easily lead to underwatering. If there are a lot of roots in the pot, that will also contribute to fast drying out of the medium. What are your practical rules for when to water this guy?
I recently (less than a month ago) saw this Hoya from EA at a Walmart, by the way. Couldn't believe my eyes, but there it was. So, there is hope to find it at a big box store if you are patient. Buying or trading from a private party is so much more likely though.
I fertilize every time I water during the spring/summer time. I am using full strength though. I usually wait till it's on the dry side, maybe once a week.
That is perlite and do use it. I didn't know it was mainly for rooting. I use it so the soil will be fast draining as I thought that would be best. I use a little African Violet mix and sometimes Orchid mix along with some perlite. What do you use for soil?

MOSS ADAMS CAPITAL: Apparel and foowear market monitor highlights notable deals, stock prices and results.
Details on Industry Insight.
We caught up with Bill Gage of Metal Mulisha at Magic to talk about the brand's new "Armed Society" collection, a new segmentation strategy, and more.
Business has been very strong in 2011. Metal Mulisha continues to show significant increases over the last year, with our core channel up nearly 40% from 2010. If you are healthy with these retailers, your roots are strong and branches will continue to grow.
Firstly, we will be implementing some new product segmentation strategies with our "Armed Society" category, available only to core channel retailers.
This new category will consist of very edgy Metal Mulisha T-shirt graphics (weapons and more), some key hats, and some very innovative cut-and-sew products.
Some core shops that will carry them include Eminent Stores, Mainland Skate and Surf, Toda Moda Surf and Street, Industrial Ride Shops and Motoworld of El Cajon.
In addition, we are continuing to expand our Junior's collection, as this continues to be our fastest growing category. We will be providing more in-store support for this category, and will have a comprehensive marketing campaign as well.
Going into 2012, we are confident we can achieve our desired growth with our existing retailer partners. We are focused on providing more in-store support and identifying new opportunities in growing markets.
The motorsports lifestyle has proven to be more than a trend, as there are enthusiasts everywhere who can relate to our brand. We appeal to a broad base of consumers, from freestyle motocross, motocross, off-road truck racing, MMA enthusiasts, and even BMX kids. We are also aligning with a number of metal bands that will continue to expand our audience.
It's an exciting time to be working with Metal Mulisha because of all this growth potential and a core team who knows how to get it done.

This is the 13th year in a row that Jacob topped the list for boys and the first year for Sophia, who knocked Isabella to No. 2 after a two-year stint at the top of the female list.
Only one new name made the top 10 on either list this year. Mason rocketed to No. 2 from outside the top 10 to replace Anthony on the boys' side.
It was also reported that Elvis has returned to the top 1,000, coming in at No. 904 on the rankings. That's good. Elvis needs to be there.

Very nice hotel close to centre of tPort Douglas.Posted Mar 9, 2015
Pros: Professional staff. Stress free, quiet Hotel. Very Nice facilities. Located in the centre of town with easy access to all local shops and restaurants.
Cons: Installing an elevator.
Location: Perfect location for exploring the Great Barrier Reef, The Daintree Rainforrest, Mossman Gorge, and Cape Tribulation.
Very pleasant and stress free experience with Regal. They were happy to discuss additional services such as airport transfer. The staff were extremely professional and very informative about local activities. My wife and I would highly recommend anyone travelling to Port Douglas that wants a stress free, peaceful stay, consider Regal Port Douglas.

Great Location for a Wedding at P.D.Posted Jan 11, 2015
Pros: Location, Location, Location and swimming pool.
Cons: Not a modern place but the good location and pool helped. There were quite a few stairs to climb.
Location: Beach, Inlet, shops, bushland,cafes day trips!
We loved the location and were able to walk to the Wedding at local shops. We felt that there was a slight musty smell to the room. It was also a bit smaller that we anticipated so very pleased as tow friends sharing a room that we had upgraded to a one bedroom suite.

Relaxed and Friendly atmosphere!!Posted Jan 4, 2015
Pros: Friendly staff!
Cons: No
Location: There is so much to do in and around Port Douglas. The cruise to the low aisles and snokerling was something we'll never forget!Plenty of Spas etc
Our stay was lovely and relaxing!! The room was clean!!No noise only from the water fountains outside (which was kind of relaxing) The staff were very helpful at all times and gave us great advice about trips etc.

Faulty Towers is Back????Posted Jan 3, 2015
Pros: Spa Bath in room & location. Size of room is OK.
Cons: Staff, Pool Size, Cleanliness of rooms, better services offered
Location: We were lucky, we had a hire car & drove. There is absolutely minimal to do in Port Douglas.
Don't look for the hotel at 51 Macrossan Street. Try Owen Street, you will actually find the entrance. The staff are so backwards & have no idea how to run a hotel/studio apartments. Cheryl was so rude to us upon check in we almost walked out. Don't park your car out the front on the public street, you will get a not very nice call early in the morning to move it because "we have 10 bus loads arriving today" - AS IF!! The place was dead, although they thought it was busy... The room was not clean upon check in. If you stay 5+ nights you get a mid-week clean. The room was cleaner after the midweek clean than what it was upon check in, but don't be too worried they give you a broom & dust pan in the room so you can clean the floors yourself!! What's that? You want toilet paper? That will be $1 per roll! Even after the mid-week cleaning staff took one of the rolls we had. What's that? You want soap? 20 cents each. What's that? You want to go swimming in the luxurious pool that by looking at the photos, it appears to be a decent size? Try somewhere else if you have more than 6 people wanting to swim at once, you will not fit. Also, be mindful people on the footpath can look straight in at you - a little weird if you wanted any privacy. The office has very restricted opening hours, more like business hours 9-5. So if you need anything make sure you get in early! Not a place we would recommend, nor stay at again!! Please do yourself a favour & book somewhere else.

no elevatorPosted Dec 11, 2014 on Hotels.com
The only problem is no elevator. A flight of stairs to the reception and then one or two more flights to your room. Other than that very thing was very good.

Nice hotel, very friendly and helpful staff.Posted Dec 11, 2014
Had an amazing stay at the Regal Port Douglas, very friendly staff, great location, and at a affordable price. Spent three nights there and was by far the best placed we stayed on a 10 day holiday to Cairns and Port Douglas. Would recommend people to stay here when heading up to Port Douglas for the night.

滞在自体は快適でしたが…Posted Dec 3, 2014 on Hotels.com
入口がマクロッサンストリートではなく オーウェンストリート側でやや分かりにくい。エレベータがなく、駐車場や2F(日本だと3F)の移動が大変だった。 ベランダ側にあるジェットバスは素晴らしいが、電子レンジは欲しかった。Wifiは有料。Studioタイプのせいか、隣の部屋の話し声が響き、気になった。

Nice hotel, great locationPosted Nov 30, 2014
We stayed in a studio room, which was clean and comfortable. The staff were friendly and helpful and there was a lovely pool area. The hotel is located very close to the beach and main shopping and restaurant strip. The library with DVDs and books to borrow was a nice touch, as was the BBQ area by the pool. Would definitely stay again.

2 Candidate Interview Reviews Back to all InterviewsSort: Popular Date Difficulty
Sales and Trading Summer Analyst Interview
I applied online. The process took 5 weeks – interviewed at UBS Investment Bank in December 2011.
Submitted my resume/cover letter through school's career page, but I don't think that's how I got the interview. They were on campus and I went out with a few of their reps to dinner and bars after an information session; I was told that night I'd get an interview.
There were two phone interviews, mostly behavioral with one or two markets related questions. I was then invited to the Superday, which consisted of six 30-minute interviews, back to back. Again, the interviews were mostly behavioral but a little bit more geared toward market-based questions. One guy asked me what stocks I was following, to which I had no good answer. Luckily the next interviewer came in just in time to interrupt us. I also got a really easy probability question from one of the interviewers.
- This wasn't difficult, but it's the only specific question I can remember.
You're playing basketball and you're down by 2. You know you can hit a 2-pointer to tie the game with 28% probability, and then go on to win the game in overtime with 50% probability. Alternatively, you know you can hit a 3-pointer and win with 15% probability. Which do you take? View Answer

EA Makes Minor Tweaks To FIFA 12 For the Wii, Releases It As FIFA 13 105

Seriously, these game barely change from one year to the next anyway. If you buy one every 5 years, you will see the difference, but that's pretty much it.
Why, technically, can't rosters be updated separately from the engine?
Obviously they can be, but that's not what you're asking. What I suspect you are really interested in is why those roster updates can't be released for free, or at least very cheap.
The answer is licensing. If you want to make a sports game using real team names, and real player names, and real player likenesses, then you need to pay a lot of money to the respective leagues and player associations. EA and 2K can't afford to release free roster updates every year while still paying those licensing fees.

LinuxBIOS Gets GUI 171
from the well-isn't-that-pretty dept.
We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
Given that is for a BIOS project, the primary goal is to load another OS off larger storage medium. So why an GUI? Easy, what do you do when your main OS fails? You reach for a bootable recovery CD or USB drive. Oh, but you aren't at home and didn't bring it with you! Gah! Oh wait, you can boot the BIOS in GUI mode and get on the internet and use a web browser and all sorts of stuff!
Not only that, but consider that for many purposes, given this BIOS, you don't *need* any other OS. I think that's the real point here.
Apparently, it's normal and happens to lots of computers. It's not the size of the hard drive, it's how fast you can boot up.[...] it is interesting to see how small you can go."
While that's certainly true, wouldn't simply replacing a BIOS chip be much cheaper? I'd gladly pay a reasonably priced (something like $25-$50) for a replacement BIOS chip for use in existing PC's as opposed to ponying up for the much higher cost of terminals.What you want is a dumb terminal, and these already exist and are widely available.
Most support X11/XDMCP or RDP.
...does it run Windows?
6 second boot from bios is great, you are NOT getting the OS to boot to useability in 6 seconds with how most people have their Car PC install. I dont care what kind of voo-doo is going on in the bios. You have to roll your own embedded OS to get the incredibly boot times or use a stripped down slackware to get it done.
If you don't need a bunch of services, you can just set init to a script that runs your GUI.
It's actually not very hard to set up your own self-booting system.
At the source of every error which is blamed on the computer you will find at least two human errors, including the error of blaming it on the computer.
