She Has No Head! – 10 Ladies Leveling Up In 2015
Folks, 2015 is already shaping up to be an interesting year in comics (and that's even when I just put my fingers in my ears and go "LALALALALAA" whenever anyone mentions Secret Wars and Convergence which might very well be great but basically make my head spin right now). What with all the new creator owned stuff coming out (In a bit of Wytches-like badassery Jeff Lemire and Dustin Nguyen's Descender is not even out yet and already optioned by Sony. Wooo!) and women doing especially awesome things in comics both big and small, let's talk about 10 female comics creators that are seriously leveling up in 2015.
Without a doubt, you should already be (and hopefully are?) following all these ladies as none of them are unknowns. And for the record, I am planning a post for later this month that will focus on 10 "lesser known up and comers" and that will also include a massive list of women in comics that I hope you will all help me flesh out to be as complete as possible.
But for now, for THIS list, since there are SO MANY worthy women to consider, I tried to stick with ladies are currently transitioning to a bigger/larger stage…who are REALLY leveling up. Because of that, someone like say, Faith Erin Hicks wasn't included simply because to my knowledge as of this writing she doesn't have any major works scheduled for this year. Similarly, creators like G. Willow Wilson, Emily Carroll, and Eleanor Davis all had incredible years in 2014, the kind of stuff that I would definitely consider "leveling up" but that was LAST year…and this is the FUTURE.
She Has No Head! – New Books To Read In 2015
I always like to do a post early in the year that looks forward to some of the books I'm most excited about on the horizon in 2015, helps me get pumped for the year and also try to make a mental note of all the projects I'm looking out for. I was ready with my list the first week of January but opted to wait to hear what news came out of Image Expo as they've had some truly exciting stuff in the last couple years, this year was no exception and added some great looking titles to my "must haves" list.
All that said, it was a bit hard to predict what I'm most excited about from Marvel and DC because their events (Secret Wars and Convergence, respectively) are even more potentially "line changing" and mysterious than usual. So keeping in mind that that accounts for a likely decreased number of books from both publishers on the list…let's get going! I organized this by month and then for stuff that has nebulous release dates more a "going forward in 2015" category.
Review time! with Lady Killer #1
Jamie S. Rich, who's a cool dude, asked me if I'd like an advance copy of Lady Killer #1, which he co-wrote with Joëlle Jones (according to Rich, she did the main plotting). As I am a fan of both Rich and Jones, I said sure! So let's take a look at it!

Tom also has no issue with it, as in the past he was very supportive of Baz racing well (ie. Brno where he fought it out with Tom and where he won at Silverstone.) What does become a problem though is when you make very hard challenges on your team mate, almost taking him out, which Baz did in both races. I am REALLY pleased to see Baz coming good on pace as I thought he would. The kid is DEFINITELY a future champion! Great recovery from Tom for race 2 and a great weekend for Baz in general.

Reinsurer Swiss Re intends to issue the world's first catastrophe bonds, giving investors exposure to flood risk, by the end of March.Rating agency Standard and Poor's has rated a single $150 million tranche of notes at BB+. They will offer exposure to earthquake risk in the US (except California) and Canada, as well as river flood risk in Great Britain. Repayment of principal will be tied to losses on a notional portfolio of exposures following an earthquake in north America and an index of measured river flood depths in Britain. Portfolio loss modelling and index administration will be provided by California-based catastrophe-risk specialist Risk Management Solutions (RMS).
The river flood index has at least 50 weighted reference locations across the UK. Losses due will accrue once a minimum of four of these locations experience severe flood warnings lasting a day or more during a period of 12 consecutive days. Location weightings in the flood index, as well as the notional portfolio of earthquake exposures, may also be annually adjusted by Swiss Re to better match its own liabilities.
The notes have a legal maturity of July 2012. They are designed to hedge risks reinsured by Swiss Re for Munich-based insurance group Allianz.

FOX 47 - Top Stories
MADISON, Wis. - A man who drove drunk and killed a 10-year-old will spend eight years in prison.
Trevor McGuire hit and killed Michael Iverson, of Stoughton, on Oct. 7, 2013. The crash happened on Highway 59 west of Albany. Michael's family was driving back to Stoughton after a volleyball tournament in Monroe.
In court Tuesday, McGuire gave an emotional apology to Michael's family.
"My actions stole the possibility of Michael becoming a graduate, getting married, having children and doing what he aspired to do in life," McGuire said. "And that is only a fraction of what I honestly took from you."
According to the sheriff's department, McGuire was driving his pickup west on Highway 59 when he crossed the center line and hit the eastbound minivan.
Investigators said they found an open bottle of tequila in McGuire's truck.
McGuire pleaded no contest to homicide charges in October. He was also sentenced Tuesday to eight years of probation.

WHITTIER >> A man died and a teenage girl was wounded after an argument led to a drive-by shooting early Sunday, police said.
Jose Duarte, 26, of Whittier, died at a hospital following the shooting, which took shortly after midnight along Lambert Road, just east of Sante Fe Springs Road, Whittier police Officer Bradley White said.
A 17-year-old Whittier girl also wounded in the shooting was expected to survive, he said.
Police said the two victims were walking east along a sidewalk when Duarte became involved in an argument with several other people who were across the street at a liquor store. The victims then continued walking east through a residential neighborhood.
"As the male and female victims continued to walk away from the location, the suspects drove past them and fired several shots at the victims," police said in a written statement.
The gunfire struck Duarte in the chest, officials said. The teenage girl was shot in the back.
Paramedics took Duarte to a hospital, where he succumbed to his injuries.
"The suspect vehicle is believed to be a silver or gray sedan," according to the police statement.
No description of the suspects themselves was available.
It was unclear what the argument that preceded the shooting was about, White said. Police were looking into the possibility the shooting was gang-related.
Anyone with information is asked to contact Whittier police at 562-567-9241. Tips may also be submitted anonymously via L.A. Regional Crime Stoppers at 800-222-8477.

Woman's body found inside car of missing Montebello family
MONTEBELLO, Calif. >> Police Sunday discovered a woman's body inside the trunk of the car of a Montebello family that's been missing for five days, authorities said.
The Perez family was last seen Friday, Montebello police officials said. The missing family includes Daniel Perez, 43, his wife Erica Perez, 39, and their sons Alex, 6, Tristan, 8, Jaiden, 9, and Jordan, 11.
Police launched an investigation Tuesday after a relative reported the Perez family missing, Montebello police officials said in a written statement. The family has not been seen or heard from since.
But the case turned from a missing persons investigation into a homicide investigation Wednesday afternoon when police made a grisly discovery.
Based on a tip received while canvassing the family's neighborhood, investigators found a black 2010 Honda Accord belonging to the family about 5 p.m., parked along the curb at 2nd Street and Harding Avenue, next to Beverly Hospital, Montebello police Capt. Luis Lopez said. The car was found less than a mile to the north of the family's 1st Street home.
Police then discovered the body of a woman inside the trunk of the car, Lopez said. It was not clear late Wednesday whether the body found was that of Erica Perez, Lopez said, however the basic description of the body was consistent with the missing woman's description.
Police released no information regarding how the woman may have died, or how long ago. The Perez family remained unaccounted for.
"The biggest concern we have is for the children," Lopez said.
The captain described Daniel Perez a a "person of interest" in the investigation.
Family members told police the parents' marriage was "unstable" and that the couple had a history of domestic violence, police officials said in a written statement,
Police continued seeking the family Wednesday night, Lopez said. Their investigation included a review of vehicles that have recently crossed the Southern border into Mexico, in case the family had left the country.
Police sought a second car registered to the family, which Lopez described as a black 2014 Toyota Camry with California license plate No. 7FDS891.
Anyone with information was asked to contact Montebello police at 323-887-1313.

Man shot to death in Santa Fe Springs
SANTA FE SPRINGS >> A man died at the scene of a shooting in a residential neighborhood in Santa Fe Springs Sunday night, officials said.
Police discovered the victim lying on the ground near a bicycle about 9:15 p.m. while responding to a report of gunshots in the 9300 block of Millergrove Drive, Whittier police Officer Brad White said.
The man, who was estimated to be in his mid-40s to early-50s, died at the scene, White said.
He was believed to be either riding or walking the bicycle north on Millergrove Drive when he was shot, the officer said.
No suspect description or further details were available.
Anyone with information was asked to contact the Whittier Police Department at 562-567-9200.
Man arrested in Guatemala in connection with brutal 2012 slaying of Norwalk woman
NORWALK >> Authorities arrested a man in Guatemala early Thursday in connection with the brutal stabbing death of a 50-year-old woman at her Norwalk home in 2012, officials and the victim's sister said.
Luis Diofron, 22, is accused of sexually assaulting and fatally stabbing Denise Battey in the early-morning hours of Aug. 10, 2012, at her home in the 11900 block of Allard Street, according to Los Angeles County sheriff's officials and Battey's twin sister, Annese Battey.
Investigators recently received a tip that Diofron, whom they had been seeking for more than two years, had been spotted near Guatemala City, Detective Ray Lugo of the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Homicide Bureau said. Guatemalan police, along with FBI agents, arrested the alleged killer without a struggle Thursday morning.
Annese Battey said she was notified of the arrest Thursday morning.
"My family is just ecstatic," she said. But the sense of justice that came with the arrest was accompanied by many painful memories.
"It's bitter-sweet," she said. "Everyone is breaking down. This is a day you just hope and wish for."

Man convicted of Pasadena barbershop owner's slaying
PASADENA >> A 26-year-old man faces a sentence of life in prison without the possibility of parole at his sentencing next month after Pasadena jury convicted him of the fatal stabbing of a Pasadena barbershop owner in 2011, authorities said.
At his second trial following a hung jury and mistrial in September, a Pasadena Superior Court jury found Davon Westley Moore of Los Angeles guilty of first-degree murder for the Sept. 21, 2011, slaying of 43-year-old King E. King, Los Angeles County District Attorney's officials said.
King was found about 12:30 a.m., lying in a pool of blood behind his barbershop, King King's Barber and Beauty Salon, in the 900 block of East Washington Boulevard in Pasadena.
The stabbing, which police characterized as brutal, stemmed from robbery and burglary at the shop, according to district attorney's officials and Pasadena police investigators.
King didn't go without a struggle, Pasadena police Lt. Tracey Ibarra said.
"He was fighting to survive this attack," she said.
In addition to first-degree murder, the Jury also found true the special circumstances of murder during a robbery and murder during a burglary, prosecutors said.
Moore is expected to receive a sentence of life in prison without the possibility of parole when he returns to court for sentencing Dec. 9, district attorney's officials said.
Moore's co-defendant, 22-year-old Sabrina Octavia King of Compton, who was not related to the victim, pleaded "no contest" to charges of voluntary manslaughter and robbery in March, officials said. She faces up to 21 years in state prison when she returns to court for sentencing,
A previous trial for Moore in September ended in a mistrial, with jurors hung 11-1 in favor of convicting Moore.
Man pleads not guilty in fatal Monterey Park stabbing
ALHAMBRA >> A Rosemead man pleaded not guilty to murder Thursday following the fatal stabbing of a Monterey Park man last month, officials said.
Angel Octavion Garcia, 18, is accused of fatally stabbing Alhambra Parks and Recreation Department employee Edward Mendoza, 35, Oct. 14 in a parking lot in the 1700 block of Potrero Grande, near Arroyo Drive, Los Angeles County sheriff's officials said.
He entered his plea in Alhambra Superior Court, where he was ordered to return Jan. 9 for a preliminary hearing setting, Los Angeles County district attorney's officials said in a written statement.
"There are no indications the two men knew each other," according to the statement. A motive for the slaying has not been released.
Mendoza called 9-1-1 to report he had been stabbed, Lt. John Corina of the Sheriff's Homicide Bureau said. Investigators have declined to release further details of the 9-1-1.
Paramedics rushed Mendoza to Los Angeles County-USC Medical Center, where he died from his injuries.
"Soon after the incident, a person came forward to police and identified Garcia as the assailant," according to the district attorney's office statement.
Mendoza had worked a part-time recreation leader for the Alhambra Parks and Recreation Department since 2001, city officials said. Most recently, he served as a children's football referee at Almansor Park in Alhambra.
Recently, Ray said Mendoza was refereeing football for the children at Almansor Park, 800 S. Almansor St. in Alhambra.
Sheriff's investigators arrested Garcia Oct. 18, according to Los Angeles County booking records. He was being held in lieu of $1.025 million bail.

Man denies charges in fatal Santa Fe Springs Swap Meet stabbing
SANTA FE SPRINGS >> The second of two defendants denied murder and assault charges in connection with the fatal stabbing of a La Mirada woman during a fight over a parking space at the Santa Fe Springs Swap Meet last month, officials said.
Reggie Cervantes, 22, of South Los Angeles pleaded not guilty to one count of murder and one count of assault with a deadly weapon for the Oct. 17 stabbing in the parking lot of the swap meet at 13963 Alondra Boulevard, Los Angeles County District Attorney's officials said in a written statement.
Cervantes is additionally accused of the special allegation that he personally wielded a knife in the crime, officials said.
Cervantes' co-defendant Brenda Jasmine Rangel, 19, of South Los Angeles pleaded not guilty to murder and assault charges Oct. 21 in Norwalk Superior Court.
The two suspects are accused of fatally stabbing 43-year-old Elizabeth Yanez of La Mirada during a dispute over a parking space about 9;30 p.m., Whittier police officials said.
Yanez was in a vehicle with her two adult children when she got into an argument with Cervantes and Rangel, who were in another car, police and district attorney's officials said.
"At some point, Cervantes exited his car and attempted to stab Yanez's son, but was unsuccessful," according to the district attorney's office statement. "Cervantes then allegedly walked over to Yanez and stabbed her,"
Yanez succumbed to her injuries at an area hospital.
Investigators found and arrested Cervantes and Rangel in connection with the fatal stabbing the following morning at a South Los Angeles apartment, according to Whittier police Lt. Kent Miller said.
Prosecutors said Cervantes was previously convicted of robbery in 2009 and receiving stolen property in 2010.
Both face up to 25 years to life in prison if convicted as charged, officials said.
Cervantes and Rangel were being held in lieu of $1 million bail pending trial, according to booking records. They were scheduled to return to court Dec. 15 for a preliminary hearing.
Anaheim man guilty of beating 19-month-old son to death in Valinda
POMONA >> A jury convicted an Anaheim man of murder Friday in the beating death of his 19-month-old son last year in Valinda, authorities said.
A Pomona Superior Court jury deliberated for less than two days before finding Jesus Vega Estrada, 44, guilty of second-degree murder, along with assault on a child causing death, Los Angeles County District Attorney's officials said in a written statement. He faces up to 25 years to life to prison when he returns to court for sentencing Dec. 15.
Estrada beat his 19-month-old son after picking the child up from the home of the boy's mother in Valinda about 11:15 p.m. on Nov. 27, 2013, prosectors said. He told the boy's mother he was taking the child to buy candy and juice.
Eric Avian Cervantes died at a West Covina hospital early the next morning, Los Angeles County Department of Coroner Chief of Operations Craig Harvey.
"When Estrada and the child returned to the home about 11:45 p.m., the victim was vomiting," according to the statement. "The parents then took the child to the hospital, where the toddler died early the next morning."
Los Angeles County sheriff's deputies arrested Estrada the same morning, according to officials and county booking records.
Coroner's investigators determined Cervantes died from "blunt force trauma" to his liver, district attorney's office spokeswoman Sarah Ardalani said.
Coroners officials further determined that child suffered his injuries when he was struck by an adult, Harvey said. Investigators ruled the death a homicide.
The boy had also suffered broken ribs, trauma to his head and bruising on his body, district attorney's officials said.
The injuries were believed to have been inflicted by Estrada's hand or fist, Ardalani said. No weapon was believed to have been involved in the fatal attack.
During trial, Los Angeles County Deputy District Attorney Michael Matoba argued that Estrada had committed to previous, unreported incidents of abuse against his son on Oct. 17 and Oct. 20, district attorney's officials said.
A specific motive for the attack was unclear, however Ardalani said Estrada and the boy's mother had been arguing over the amount of his child support payments prior to the killing.
Estrada was held without bail pending the trial process due to a hold placed on him by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials.

Man charged with murder in connection with slaying of Baldwin Park woman
BALDWIN PARK >> Prosecutors Thursday charged a Baldwin Park man Thursday with murder in connection with the death of a woman at her Baldwin Park home last month, officials said Thursday.
Juan Carlos Santana, 42, was arrested on suspicion of burglary and receiving stolen property the day after Patricia Sigala Salva was found dead Oct. 18 inside her home in the 3700 block of Idaho Street in Baldwin Park, according to Los Angeles County booking records and Los Angeles County District Attorney's officials.
Prosecutors charged Santana Thursday with the murder of Patricia Sigala Salva, according to a felony complaint filed in Pomona Superior Court. Sheriff's and coroner's officials have declined to release any information regarding the woman's identity, however public records indicate she was in her early-60s and had lived at the Baldwin Park home for at least 20 years.
Salva had been shot, according to court documents. She died sometime between Oct. 16 and Oct. 18, when her body was discovered.
He was initially charged with burglary and receiving stolen property, however prosecutors have since added the charge of murder, district attorney's office spokeswoman Sarah Ardalani said. He was scheduled to be arraigned on the murder charge Jan. 8 in Pomona Superior Court.
Prosecutors also accused Juan Santana of the special allegations that he personally used a handgun in the crime, and that he committed the murder during the coarse of a burglary, according to a felony complaint filed in
Arrested and charged in the same case as Juan Santana was 19-year-old Andres Javier Santana and 44-year-old Deborah Jean Curiel, according to officials and booking records. Both were jailed Oct. 19 on suspicion of receiving stolen property.
The elder Santana was being held without bail, records show, while Andres Santana has been released on bail pending legal proceeding, and Curiel was being held in lieu of $20,000 bail.
The relationships among the suspects were not clear, nor was their relationship with Salva. The suspects' cities of residence were also not available.
Numerous calls in recent weeks to handling detectives at the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Homicide have not been returned. And sheriff's investigators ordered a "security hold" on the case at the Los Angeles County Department of Coroner, preventing the release of any information, coroner's officials said. The security hold remained in effect Thursday.
Police said the woman's body was discovered after residents reported suspicious circumstances at her home.
Someone called Baldwin Park police to report seeing a person running out of the garage of the home with an item believed to be beer, police said. Neighbors also told police they had not seen the woman who lives at the home in several says.
Lt. Ed Hernandez of the Sheriff's Homicide Bureau said the woman had rented space in the house to roommates in the past, but was living alone at the time of her death.

Historical Traveler Reviews The Beacon Dublin
Extremely stylish, modern hotel, love it!
Stayed here with my boyf. Had a great time, can't fault it. Has to be the best room I've ever seen. Style, Style , Style!! Great atmosphere in the bar. Fabulous hotel, will definitely stay here again.
I chose the Beacon for a 2 night get away from the kids first time since they were born 4 years ago. The accomodation was cheapest i could find and i wasnt disappointed Far from it! This hotel is a 4* and complete luxury.
You walk in the revolving doors and are greeted with a lovely modern setting,low lighting.The staff were very welcoming and the checkin was quick and easy.
You are given your key card which you use in the lift or it doesnt work this is for added security. The lifts themselves are decorated with leather studded walls and wall lights very different.
Rooms what can i say other than gorgeous!!!!! We stayed in a queen suite which had a lovely bathroom deep bath excellent tiling and Bathrobes and complimentary toiletries. The shower is lovely always hot water. The rest of the room had a LCD Flat screen television with free channels. Again very modern in its design white crisp walls,sheets and leather sofa.
Nice discreet wardrobe, ironing facilities, free tea and coffee. There was a Mini bar this was automatically added to your bill when an item was removed how clever!!
We decided to get a taxi from the airport as we arrived in the evening this was expensive €40 but did only take 20mins.
Yes the hotel is on an Industrial estate and there is some building work going on in the local area but didnt affect our sleep at the end of feb!
The nearest LUAS stop is 10 minutes walk and the LUAS itself was €4 return which took 15mins to get to St Stephens Green which is central. It passes the Dundrum shopping centre which also has a multi screen cinema.
All in all we enjoyed staying at the Beacon and it is nice to get away from the hussle and bussle of the city centre!
Would recommend the hotel to all.
Honeymooned at the Beacon
We have just returned from a 3 night stay at the Beacon Hotel. Our honeymoon!! The room was fantastic, decorated beautifully & well equipped. Food, both breakfast & evening meals excellent.
The only downful was the noise from the ongoing building works next door which woke us very early every morning and the lact of public transport in the local area (10 - 15 minute walk to Luas, tram service).
Had a few problems with the lift not working using our entry card resulting in us having to re-activate our card, but otherwise a very pleasant stay
Great hotel for business stays
I have just returned form two nights stay a teh Beacon.
Funky moderm and sate of the art decor. Great lobby. Bar and restaurant great design and layout but a little small for a hotel of this size.
Heated terrace/ courtyard for smokers.
The rooms are the very cool and well above a foru star standard. Ironing board, white leathers sofas, light. Glass panel with restricted viewing though to the bahroom not very practical but bathroom with free standing Philip Starck bath tub and belgian sandstone is the best design I have ever seen in a hotel.
The location wasn't tthe best , in the middle of an area with heavy buildign but a very short taxi ride to the Luas and the highly acclaimed Dundrum Shopping centre.
The service from all members of staff was good.
Well worth the 110 euros for a double room.
Super funky hotel
The Beacon is one of Dublin's newest and hippest hotels. However it is in a (crrently) dreadful location in Sandyford Industrial Estate where construction is ongoing, so be prepared for a lot of hard hats & safety barriers in the area. During the day, it's most visible but at night when you look out of the window, the lights of Dublin city twinkle merrily before you!
The hotel is a completely new departure for the area - there's no patterned bedspreads or teak veneer wardrobes in the bedroom, and the bar/restaurant areas have to be seen to be believed!!!
We stayed in Room 503 which was a huge executive king room looking out over the city. I loved the room - it was white and cream and the focus was an enormous bed with a red velvet recessed headboard. The bathroom was incredible (and I want it in my house) - the biggest freestanding bath I've ever seen, an enormous shower cubicle and a gorgeous sink.
Food in the My Thai restaurant was exquisite, with equally excellent service. Breakfast was served in the same restaurant but wasn't up to the same standard - the food wasn't too hot in temperature... not what you'd expect from such a lovely hotel.
All in all, it's in a great location just off the M50 & a stones' throw from both the LUAS and the new Dundrum Shopping Centre
Funkiest Hotel in Dublin!!
Just loved this Hotel we stayed last weekend and it is so close to Dundrum, the newest Shopping centre to take Dublin by storm and we were able to get the Luas in to the City although the Bar and restaurant in the Hotel were so good we did not want to leave.
The rooms had gorgeous baths with plasma TV's in the bedrooms and were the height of luxury and comfort! Cant wait to go back !!!!
First Class accomodation
We were attending a trade fair for four days in dublin, we stayed at the beacon hotel for just two nights.
Although tricky to find being situated on an industrial estate, it was well worth the trouble.
Absolutly stunning hotel in every way, the lobby, bar, dinning room, terrace, bedrooms all first class, and the food is exquisite, mostly asian cuisine, makes my mouth water just to think about it.
The bedrooms were immaculate, ive stayed in the westbury hotel in dublin, which is an old hotel of excellence, well the beacon is of the same standard.
The staff were polite and very helpful, i really had no complaints at all.
A busy hotel with the public dropping in to eat drink and socialise.
Try it you wont regret the experience.
We've only just got back from 2 nights B & B at The Beacon having booked it based on reviews from TripAdvisor. Overall the staff are very friendly and professional and the hotel is unusual and has some good trendy features such as the foyer with the bed in it and oversized furniture aptly positioned around the hotel. However it leaves a lot to be desired for a 4 star new hotel. Having had difficultly in actually finding the hotel as it was so far outside Dublin the 8 cranes surrounding it made it stand out in the industrial estate where it is located. The whole area in which it is located is a building site and suitably noisey. We booked a nonsmoking king size executive room with a good view but our room smelled heavily of smoke and overlooked a tile warehouse and car dealership (allbeit Mercedes). When we complained it was listed as non smoking and no other king size rooms were available. We went to switch on the aircon to freshen the room in this new 4 star hotel to discover there was no air con in any of the bedrooms! We couldn't stand the road noise when tried opening the windows. In the bar drinks and the atmosphere were good but the food we had at lunch time in the restaurant I had to send back and have changed. Had breakfast in our room and in the restaurant - not much diffence as both poor. Wouldn't stay again.
We have just spent two nights at The Beacon. It really is a beautiful hotel. The rooms are the nicest I've ever stayed in. We had an executive room on the fifth floor, although the hotel is set in an unattractive area of town the views from our room were amazing - we could even see the sea. At night Dublin looked beautiful with all the lights. The location wasn't at all bad though, we were close to the station and not far from the centre. Also we were very close to Dundrum which is currently adding to its shopping centre so that it will soon be the biggest in Europe.
One whole wall of the room was glass so it was lovely and bright. The decor was really modern and attractive. The standards of cleanliness were not a problem. The bathrooms are amazing. The service from all members of staff was excellent - the desk staff, the bar staff, the cleaners, the restaurant staff all were great. The rooms are well equiped with all the usuals but also plasma tvs, internet access and an iron and board.
The bar and restaurant are well worth a visit.
We have really enjoyed our stay and hope we will return.
Very good hotel could be great
Stayed in an Executive Room at the Beacon. Rooms are absolutely superb and the best bathrooms this side of Dubai.
The whole hotel is very stylish with the bar and restaurant area of particular note. Only complaint would be the service. I ordered room service which did not come and when I phoned down to chase they said they would investigate and call me back. No one did. When I again phoned down they said that they had forgotten the order and were most apologetic. The restaurant could also improve in this area. Other criticisms - Flatscreen TV's too small and no electric points near the beds so you have to sit at the desk to use your laptop.
Would I stay there again ? - Absolutely because I'm sure the service issues will be ironed out as the hotel matures and the rooms and bathrooms really are very, very good.

Our host apparantly rectified the situation in alphabetic order and www.unrv.com was near the end of the list. We apologize for the inconvenience, but everything seems to be working properly today.

With the death of Saturninus and self exile by Marius in 99 BC, a period of relative calm slipped into Roman politics. The calm wouldn?t last long, however, and a new Tribune in a mold similar to the Gracchi brothers, came to the forefront. Marcus Livius Drusus was actually the son of a political opponent [...]

After the defeat of the Cimbri, the political career of Gaius Marius began to crumble. Violent mob tactics through the Tribune, Saturninus created an environment of Political Turmoil, that would only get temporarily better with the removal of both men.

The crisis caused by the migrations of the Germanic Cimbri and Teutons was a major factor securing power for Gaius Marius. After several successive and enourmous defeats at the hands of the Cimbri, the Romans looked to Marius to stabilize matter. That's exactly what he did, at least in military terms, as he served 5 [...]

A Roman Road Chart has been added to highlight some of the more famous Roman Roads. Names of roads, who built them, and when, as well as where they went are included.
Jul 2, 2004
Roman Road Construction Standard Roman roads consisted of a metalled surface (ie gravel or pebbles) on a solid foundation of earth or stone. A simple yet technologically advanced plan was in place and implemented for the construction of each road. Where possible, roads were built in the straightest line possible, only avoiding major terrain obstacles [...]

Marius Reforms the Legions With his election as Consul in 107 BC, and his subsequent appointment as commander of the Roman legions in Numidia, Marius faced a difficult challenge. Invasions of Germanic Cimbri and Teuton tribes into southern Gaul had forced large Roman armies to counter them. Thoroughly defeated in every engagement, Rome faced a [...]

Interview Difficulty
- Application Details
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks – interviewed at Veeam Software.Interview Details
I was contacted by a recruiter who asked simple qualifying questions regarding my education and professional experience. The recruiter was easy to talk to and answered all my questions and even gave me some simple but helpful advice for the subsequent calls.
The next step was a call with the team lead for the region I was applying for. He asked me some more technical questions about virtualization and my understanding of the space. It was all pretty straightforward as I made sure I was prepared for the call. He also asked your basic questions surrounding future goals and ambitions while trying to gauge my interest in the company. Much like the recruiter, the Team Leader was very easy to talk to, courteous, and had a good phone presence.
Next I met with the director of HR and the direct supervisor/manager for my prospective territory. It was a 2 on 1 style of interview, but it was very laid back and I felt comfortable and relaxed throughout the whole interview. The conversation focused on in-depth explanation of my current role, career goals and ambitions, and my understanding of the market. The interviewers, like everyone I have spoken to within the company, were down to earth and easy to talk to. I haven't been to many interviews over the past few years because I have been with the same organization for the past 7 years, so I was a little nervous throughout the process, but the relaxed attitude and candor of everyone I encountered was really a treat. Above all else, it was the positive attitude of everyone i encountered that really sold me on the company. I had some other strong prospects and I took a considerable pay cut accepting their offer, but I feel this is a company where I can work my tail off, get appreciated for it, and work my way up through the ranks.Interview Questions

- If you were to be promoted, what role do you feel would suit you best, Channel, Inside Rep, or Field Rep?
It could have been a genuine probing questions where there was no wrong answer, but I felt it was more likely a question where they were looking for particular traits of people who chose a specific category. I settled on the answer that I would need to learn more about each role before I knew what direction I wanted my career to go. Answer Question

Revival and Reformation: Important dates
- Daily at 7 a.m. and 7 p.m - Pray for the outpouring of the Holy Spirit!
- March 11 - July 11, 2015 - For 100 days, church members are encouraged to pray each day for the presence and power of the Holy Spirit to be fully experienced by participants during the General Conference Session, July 2-11, 2015 in San Antonio, TX. Visit 100DaysofPrayer.org
- April 4, 2015 - Sabbath of prayer and fasting
- July 4, 2015 - Sabbath of prayer and fasting
- January 6-16, 2016 - Ten Days of Prayer
The first Sabbath of each quarter is designated as a day of prayer and fasting for the world church. Members should focus their prayers on specific themes during the designated Prayer and Fasting Days, while also remembering to pray for other local and individual needs. Fasting can consist of eating sparingly of the simplest foods, drinking fruit juices, or abstaining from some or all forms of media (TV, radio, internet, phones, etc.). There is no merit in a prolonged fast versus a short fast, or a complete fast versus a partial fast. It's a personal decision. Fasting helps expose those things that control us, and allows us to spend more time with God. For more ideas, see links below.
Themes for Prayer and Fasting
Mission to the Cities
- Plans and activities of all thirteen divisions and attached unions (Middle East and North Africa Union) regarding "Mission to the Cities".
- Integrated focus of all Seventh-day Adventist media activities to provide for massive evangelistic emphasis around the world.
- Full understanding and usage of Comprehensive Health Ministry ("medical missionary work") allowing all church members to meet people's needs and follow Christ's ministry of service to others.
- Deeply spiritual and evangelistic perspective of every church administrator around the world as they point church members to Christ and the unique mission and message of the Seventh-day Adventist church founded on Revelation 12:17, Revelation 14:6-12; and Revelation 18:1-4 which have been entrusted into the hands of God's end-time church. We must beseech the Lord to help pastors and church members to never lose the prophetic identity of who we are as the Seventh-day Adventist Church—God's remnant church at the end of time.
- United evangelistic and witnessing activities of every Seventh-day Adventist man, woman, and child around the world empowered by the Holy Spirit's power as we submit to His leading in our lives. This will keep us active in God's service combatting apathy and complacency through the indwelling of the Holy Spirit in each life. Total engagement and active participation of every church member around the world is a key to the final proclamation of the Loud Cry. As we submit to the leading of the Holy Spirit, this will allow Christ to make us one, thus fulfilling Christ's prayer of John 17 as we understand our role in this world as a prophetic movement and fact the end of the great controversy leading to Christ's soon return.

I am interested in using a SQLite database in my next project because it needs to be ultra-portable and a simple file that a class can connect to and use as a database seems perfect.
After Google'ing a bit I found this: http://php.net/manual/en/book.sqlite.php
But that seems to work with an older version of SQLite and doesn't seem to be reccomended. Does anyone know what class or functions etc I should be using to use an SQLite database? I plan to write my own class for interfacing with the database, so preferably just some functions like in the link I posted but with the up-to-date version of SQLite.
Any help is appreciated, thanks.

OT, about outdoor cats
LL, I know you've talked about the barn kitties. You know we have this cat that used to be a stray. He has tamed considerably but not enough to take to the vet or even roll him over to examine him. He has fleas, or had. I used something I bought at the grocery store that is put behind the neck and it didn't work. Went to PetSmart and bought something the guy there recommended and put it behind his shoulder blades. He's still scratching but I can't get him to sit still long enough to find any fleas, and when I try to roll over or put my hands on his stomach, he tries to bite.
Dipping or spraying with anything is out of the question. He'd be gone in a flash. Any ideas?
BTW, here is a picture taken today with him playing with a plastic drop cloth. Hope it's not too big. If it is I'll resize it and you may have to clear cookies to see it smaller.
I see him peeking out! looks really cute. don't know what to tell ya about catching him. my friend had a litter hanging out at his house and he 'trapped' them to take to the vet and have them fixed. I think he put out a cage/pen w/food in it and waited for them to go in, then shut the door.

I would call your vet and explain the situation. If you get the frontline stuff from the vets it will work on the fleas...or maybe revolution would be better as it does fleas and worms...which is likely the cat has worms. It's good stuff, but you do need a vet's Rx to get it.
Marti- Hi! What a cutie, you have there :)
First, don't try to do anything that makes him want to bite. That can be dangerous and won't do anything to improve your relationship. I'd start with what you're doing...feeding him and letting him get used to your voice. If you're able to pet his head...that's a great start.
As for the fleas, I'm no expert...but if he's not going into your home and not getting too close to you...then the fleas are more of a discomfort to him, than a problem for you. That being said, I would check on powders and other things that might be able to be put on his bedding. If he has an old towel or something that he likes to sleep on...that might help.
We haven't had a problem with fleas, but if there's anything you can put in his food...that might be easiest. I think Annie's suggestion sounds good, too.
Yes, Revolution is spendy. But we used it once on our two cats, in their first year, and seven years later have never seen a flea.
For worms - probably more worrisome than fleas - if your kitty is being fed by you and is used to your giving him kibbles, you can put a worming pill in a Pill Pocket. Most cats love them and will eat them right up and down will go the pill.
Good luck! Love the picture!
Had to go see the name of the stuff I put on him. It's Sentry Fipro guard. I used it on him last Friday.
He has to be sedated to take him to the vet, and if I can get dh to put on gloves and hold him down tomorrow, I'll check him over better and see if there are any fleas left. I also rubbed some DE (Diatomaceous Earth) into the fur on his back. It will kill fleas if they come in contact with it. I also put it in his food from time to time for worms. I ran out of liquid wormer but need to get some more.
He doesn't come into the house right now, but he does live in the garage. I don't let him roam at night any more and lock him in at night. He doesn't like it, but I leave the a/c on until I go to bed and I don't think it gets too hot.
He is really tame now, compared to a year ago. He will let us pet him almost everywhere, loves to sit on my lap now too, but he doesn't like to be forced into doing anything, like rolling over. He doesn't really like to have his stomach or legs touched either. I already bear the mark of the beast from my wrist to my elbow, so I'm pretty careful about doing things that will set him off.
Dh says he needs to be dipped and I told him to have at it. lol
Advantage II for Cats gets high reviews .
You can get Revolution on line.
If you don't have a relationship w/a vet, any of
your friends can call their vet and ask for a recommendation.
You can also ask at your local ASPC because what works in
my part of the country may be different for your state.
Here is a link that might be useful: http://www.petshed.com/revolution.asp
"I already bear the mark of the beast from my wrist to my elbow"
NOOOOOOOOOOO! lol!
I actually have similar 'tracks'. I call it 'puppy abuse'.
or does that mean the pup should have the marks, scabs instead of me?
puppy does a lot of damage to my arms and legs but I think a kitty/cat would be much worse.
He's been fixed and I get him shots every year with the help of the vet who gives me a tranquilizer first. I don't know what I'm going to do when this vet retires.
I think the stuff I put on the cat must have finally worked. He quit scratching and I haven't been able to find any more fleas on him. But I haven't gotten dh to hold him down either.
I have an indoor/outdoor cat and used to have a terrible timekeeping fleas off of him. The topicals worked well on the dogs, but not so much on him. Two years ago we tried a 6-month injectable, Program, I think, and it has been a godsend. He gets his shot in March when he gets his regular shots/checkup and it lasts until the weather gets cooler. I don't get him a shot for Sept - March, so it's just a once-a-year expense. And I'm in the South.
I agree with the altering, best thing you can do for a furbaby.....And also a good idea, while, he's at the vets, try to spray or set off a bomb in the garage...Hopefully that will get rid of the rest of the fleas...After altering, he just might not want to go out anymore and find your lap more enjoyable.......Good luck.....
