superheroines Archives - Comics Should Be Good! @ Comic Book Resources
She Has No Head! – Defining Superheroes
So, I have a column I've been working on — off and on — for a few months now, but I keep stumbling on the parameters and I thought I could put it out to all of you, see if together we could come up with better parameters than I have been able to come up with myself.
For the purpose of the column in question – which is a column about superheroes on film – my major stumbling block seems to be between action hero and superhero – where does one draw the line?
I have had some wonderful help from whip smart CSBG commenter Dean Hacker (thanks Dean!) and without him I would not even be this far along. Right now my in-process definition looks a bit like this:
"Superhero is a fluid term. It does not HAVE to come with clear cut superpowers or even a costume, though it should be said that costumes come in many shapes and forms beyond the traditional (i.e. is Ripley's flight suit a costume? If not, why not?). While a "superhero" does not HAVE to come with the aforementioned superpowers or costume, a superhero does have to come with actions that are "super" in what they attempt – scope, breadth, intensity, etc., and perhaps with a "magical" solution of sorts to solving the huge problem they face."
She Has No Head! – Superheroine Halloween Costumes, Minor Tragedies of our Time!
I love Halloween. It's easily my favorite holiday. Christmas is a close second thanks to all the nostalgia (my parents do an epic warm Christmas). But there's so much pressure on Christmas (just like New Years) that it can start to feel like obligation more than celebration and even I grow weary of the music and everything that comes with it which seems to creep into our lives earlier and earlier each year.
But Halloween never gets aggressive or greedy. It just hangs back being awesome. Go out and have the night of your life, or just hang back and eat chocolate and watch scary movies. Both are completely acceptable.
So it bums me out every year, especially the last five or so when superheroes have become so popular and mainstream to see so many lazy superhero costumes and since this is a column about women in comics we'll focus on the superheroine costumes especially. The "super sexy" versions of costumes (that were already reasonably high on the sexy to begin with) get pretty tedious too, but my beef is not with costumes that are "too sexy" my beef is with costumes that are lazy as all get out or worse, don't make a lick of goddamn sense (and not in the good way that things sometimes don't make sense). Here are a few that really ticked me off in my hunt this year…
She Has No Head! – The Superheroine Age?
Man, if the superheroines on film topic continues at this current fevered pitch we're going to have to call 2013 an entry into a "Superheroine Age"…or something.
With intriguing columns about superheroine movies over the past months from io9 and Jezebel to USA Today and The BBC everyone is talking about this issue — that issue being "Where are all the Superheroines in Film?" Readers (or at least writers) cannot get enough of the topic. CSBG's own Sonia Harris was interviewed last week for a Huffpost video, and I was interviewed last week by both CNN/HNL and SciFi Now Magazine for upcoming pieces on the subject. It feels like we're hitting a point of no return where the people will simply demand a supeheroine film come hell or high water. We probably can't call anything a "superheroine age" without some movies (and toys and all that comes with such things) but it does feel like we may finally be headed there.
I wrote over a year ago about why The Avengers got The Black Widow so right, and suggested some superheroine movies I'd like to see on the heels of that (I also wrote about both Catwoman and The Black Widow on Lit Reactor), but I was a bit too early for the rush it seems – and now, unwilling to be left out of the frenzy, since it's an issue so clearly dear to my heart — here I am again.

Star Trek: Khan #1 arrives tomorrow, but fans can enjoy a preview of the issue now.
This inaugural issue of the Khan backstory is the first of six issues devoted to the genetic superman.
The Star Trek: Khan comic debuts this week, and writer Mike Johnson explained what fans can expect in the six-issue story of the genetic superman.
Writing a comic book story about Khan was a way to show more about the character. "…in terms of the comic, Bob Orci has always talked about the comics being an opportunity to expand the world and show things we didn't have time to show in the movie," said Johnson. "And it sort of became a natural idea that we would eventually do the Khan origin in a comic, so over the last year, we kind of knew it was coming."
IDW Publishing's Star Trek #25 will make its debut tomorrow, but fans can preview the issue today.
Star Trek #25 is the first part of a four-part series featuring the Klingons, Romulans, and the Enterprise.
The current run of Motion Pictures comics, created by Josh Edelglass, features Star Trek into Darkness.
Motion Pictures comic is the story of a boy and his robot, who "mysteriously gain the power to jump in and out of movies."
Star Trek #24 arrives tomorrow, but fans can have a sneak peek now.
Written by Mike Johnson, with art by Claudia Balboni and a cover by Tim Bradstreet, Star Trek #24 was overseen by Roberto Orci.
The final issue in a post-Star Trek into Darkness comic book trilogy will arrive tomorrow, but fans can see a preview now.
Star Trek #23 will find the Enterprise crew and captain dealing with a "grave new threat" which has arisen in the wake of the events of Star Trek into Darkness.
Fans wanting to know more about Star Trek into Darkness' villain will be able to do so with the release of Star Trek: Khan.
Star Trek: Khan will "show intrepid readers just how the master villain of Star Trek Into Darkness became the intergalactic menace seen in the blockbuster film," and will unlock the superhuman's secrets.
The latest comic chronicling events post-Star Trek into Darkness will hit store shelves tomorrow.
In IDW Publishing's Star Trek #22, the "fallout" from Star Trek into Darkness continues.
For fans hungry for more after seeing Star Trek into Darkness, a new comic debuting later this month will be of interest.
IDW Publishing's Star Trek after Darkness will continue the story after Star Trek into Darkness.
Star Trek #20 arrives in stores tomorrow, but fans can have a peek at the issue now.
In Star Trek #20, the origin stories of Sulu and Chekov are explored.
The last of the origin stories of the Enterprise crew will appear this Wednesday in Star Trek #20.
Featured in this latest IDW Publishing comic are Chekov and Sulu.
Star Trek into Darkness has not yet debuted, but thoughts have turned to what will follow the movie.
IDW Publishing will answer that question on May 29.
In Star Trek #19, readers will learn why Star Trek's Montgomery Scott went into engineering as a profession.
IDW Publishing's Star Trek #19 had just been released, and fans can see an online preview before going out to pick up their own copies of the comic.
Tomorrow, Star Trek The Next Generation: Hive will be released, but fans can see a preview of the issue now.
The one-hundred-and-four-page issue will combine the previously-released Hive #1-Hive #4.
Fans can see a preview of the latest issue of the continuing Star Trek series, Star Trek #17. now.
Star Trek #17, written by Mike Johnson, with art by Claudia Balboni and covers by Tim Bradstreet, hits stores today.

Another Lattice covered bridge. When I was there, the road was blocked and there was no space on the road-right-of-way to park. So, I took the picture of the road closure and found a post card. It may be possible to take the long way around and reach it from the other side. Apparently, the local owner has been disturbed by people trying to get to the bridge, so respect his privacy (if road access is still denied.)Related to:

Fuck YESW MOTHERFUCKERS!!!!!
Also the game looks neat and a bradless quick look for a change.(no hard feelings)
rpg maker anyone?
Thats what rpgs should look like
Got this the other day and highly enjoyed the first 40 minutes or so of Cthulhu that I played. It's like $2.50 for BOTH games on Steam. Ridiculous.
And I've never been a JRPG guy, FWIW.
@ztiworoh said:
Even if you would have been first you wouldn't have got the quest.
Ryan and Jeff?
Damn I was absolutely 100% sure, that this will be a Vinny QL as soon as I saw it.
I bought both games on Steam for 1,74€ seems like a great deal and the games are definitely worth it
This quick look couldn't come at a better time. I was recently thinking about buying Cthulu Saves the World when browsing through the marketplace, but I was unsure of what to expect.
The fact that these games made more money in a week on Steam than a year on XBLIG is crazy. Why would anyone ever develop anything for XBLIG at this point?
When you can't make a legit game, make a parody and pretend all the ghetto assets and the poor gameplay is part of the joke.
Oh, fuck.
I asked how Breath of Death VII was on the other QL, and now this snuck up on me.
Probably was on the homepage but still!
it's actually 3 bucks for both!
Why no love for the Canadian RPGs? At least call the comedies CORPGs.
Ha, Ryan saying Breath of Death is easy. Just you wait!
Has neat music at least.
The boring fight screens really turns me off of Breath of Death.
This shit is shit :|
Jeff's not wearing underwear.
Are we gonna get a Barkley Shut Up and Jam Gaiden Quick Look? ...or, even better, Endurance Run? :)
Wasn't Sara a mage? Why was he just attacking with her for 3 damage? I'm not really one to complain, but still...
Edit: Nevermind, she's a healer...
Yeah I bought both games day one on XBLIG. I would download them on steam but I dont play games on my computer
They were both well worth the 3$. I regret nothing.
Pffft. Both pale, PALE in comparison to 'Tales of Game's Presents Chef Boyardee's Barkley, Shut up and Jam Gaiden: Chapter 1 in the Hoopz Barkley SaGa'.
Where did they get the battle music I wonder
These games are great and super cheap. A lot of fun.
The music is spectacular! Finally, some actual RPG music.
I'm gonna make this crab nuts.
You can hit tab and on the menu is chat for a bit of more in-game dialogue.
I got to about the 8 minute mark.
2 fantastic throwback rpgs.
The Death of BREATH
Sounds like the music from a fishing game on the PS1.
Unleash the Kraken!
Cthulhu is a Great Old One, not a Dark God. Get it right, sheesh.
These games are actually really fun and quite short. I own both on Xbox and highly suggest them.
Eff you I'm pooing.
Best insult ever.
Own both, Cthulhu is way better, but hey, I played all the way through Breath of Death VII, and it was pretty good.
But without doubt Cthulhu is worth paying and playing.
These games sold more in a week on steam than a year and a half as a xbox indie game.
Huh, buying Breath of Death VII on it's own costs as much as the double pack.
Dem, also as in 'Dem Bones'
I'm suddenly reminded how much I hate 2D RPGS. Being a huge fan of ME and DA and Fallout3 I had nearly convinced myself that I should also like 2D. Well no more! Thanks, Giantbomb.com!
@_Horde said:

It's actually not possible to buy the games separately. You pay $2.99 and get them both.
The battle music is bouncin'.

Pet Overpopulation
Posted by Jeffrey Scott Thomas in Home, Car, Yard, and Pets, Pet Care on March 8, 2015
Spaying or neutering your dog or cat is considered one of the most effective ways to reduce pet overpopulation. That's the word from experts such as the American Veterinary Medical Association. They also say the procedure is safe for even younger animals than ever before.
In addition to pet population control, spaying a female cats or dogs before her first heat cycle amplifies a number of health benefits. It reduces a number of mammary gland and reproductive cancers as well as potentially fatal infections.
Additional benefits include:
*Reduced aggression: Cats and dogs that have been spayed or neutered are less aggressive than animals that have not.
*Less wandering: Animals that are not fixed are more likely to stray from home (especially cats) especially when they are in heat and looking for a mate.
*Less marking: Animals often 'claim' their territory by marking urine – even if that territory is your couch or rug. After a spay/neuter procedure animals become much less territorial and this behavior decreases dramatically.
Many believe that late winter or early spring are the most effective times to spay or neuter because the timing is typically prior to an animal's cycle.

Top 5 DIY Home Security Products by Naomi Wheeler
Posted by Jeffrey Scott Thomas in Guest Writers, Home, Car, Yard, and Pets, Safety, Storage & Organization on January 19, 2015
There are many valuables that we would like to keep protected within our homes including important documents, jewelry, and money. Although burglary and theft can't always be prevented in your home, there are many ways that you can make it more difficult for them to find your things. Here is a list of the top five DIY home security projects to help prevent theft of your valuables.
Hollowed Book
One of the most common, but most successful and popular ways to protect your valuables, is to hollow out a book. It may take you a couple of days depending on how determined you are to finish it, but it's a pretty simple process. First, you'll need a hardback book, some glue, a box cutter, and a brush you don't mind getting glue in. Mix the glue with a little water (making it about 60% glue), hold the pages together and begin gluing the outside of the book. Once it's dried, you can begin cutting out your pages from the middle leaving about ½ in. around the edges to make it look like the pages are still in the book. Once you reach the back of the book, you can take glue to the inside of the book to make sure that everything stays together. Now, you have a hollowed out book to hide some of your valuables in!
Safe Pillow
Although this way is a little bit trickier, it is a great way to make sure that your valuables stay safe. You'll need a throw pillow that you're willing to cut up, some scissors, thread the same color as the pillow, and some scissors. Cut a horizontal line on the back of the throw pillow that matches the length of the zipper. Take out the stuffing and start stitching the zipper into the pillow. Then, you can put the box or valuables you have set aside into the pillow with the stuffing, making sure the valuables are surrounded by the stuffing so you can't feel them, and zipping up the pillow. Now you have a secret hiding place, in plain sight, that can help you keep your valuables safe and away from prying eyes.
Painted Jar
A great and simple project that you can finish in a day is to paint a food jar, particularly mayonnaise jars, to make them look like they still have food in them when in fact, it is holding your valuables. Find a paint that looks like mayo and gradually paint the inside of the jar with the color, making sure that it doesn't get on the outside. A good way to prevent this is to use a plastic bag on the outside to prevent drips. Then, once your paint is completely dry on the inside (could take a couple of days depending on the paint and how thick it is), you can hide your valuables that won't be harmed by cold temperatures and put it in the fridge!
Potted Plant
Although it may seem simple, using a potted plant to hide your valuables or money is a great way to thwart people who would steal from you. All you need is a plant that you want to hide your items in, and an old medicine bottle or small watertight container. Then, put your valuables or money into the bottle or container and dig a hole big enough for the container in your potted plant. You can then try to remember where your valuables are hidden, or you can put down a small rock or plant decoration to remind you where you hid your valuables.
False Bottom Drawers
Hiding things is drawers is not always the best way to protect important documents and valuables, but hiding things 'underneath' your drawers is a great way to prevent valuables from getting stolen. All you need is fabric or wood that looks like the bottom of your drawers cut to the size that you need. Then, you can put your valuables in the drawer, put the false bottom over them, and fill up the drawer with things that you normally would such as clothes, office supplies, or less important paperwork. False bottom drawers are a great way to hid paperwork and other important documents that people might want to steal. This way, even if someone rifles through the drawer, they won't be able to find anything of value.
11 Habits of People With Concealed Depression
Posted by Jeffrey Scott Thomas in Body & Mind, Health & Medical on January 18, 2015
There will be two main types of people reading this blog: those finding themselves better equipped to understand some of the people they love and those who see their own reflections in these habits.
Depression often goes unseen, unrecognized, and undiagnosed. A person with concealed depression is someone who is conditioned to deal with their inner demons in a way that doesn't make them clearly visible. They may or may not be diagnosed, and this may or may not be something they've shared with even their closest of companions. The problem is that the world becomes darkest when we all stop being able to understand each other. We tend to believe that hardship is worn openly upon one's chest like a battle scar, but many of these wounds do not easily reveal themselves to those that do not take the time to look.
1. They may intentionally make efforts to appear OK and maybe even seem exponentially happy and upbeat.
The idea that those with depression all have one similarly dreary personality is false. Depression is more than just a mood. Those who live with depression have learned to alter their apparent moods, and may even be some of the most seemingly "happy" people that you know. Personalities can vary. Often those with depression try to stick with the positive and public parts of their demeanor regardless of what they're going through on the inside. No one wants to bring others down, even if that means hiding how he or she is truly feeling.
2. They may have habitual remedies.
There are serious ways to treat depression, including therapy and medication. However, in addition to these remedies, there are lifestyle habits that those with depression use to treat their everyday state-of-mind. This can be in the form of music, exercise, driving, walks, or basically anything they know can get themselves out of a sinking set of emotions. Concealed depression has a lot to do with the ways people try to personally conquer their own demons.
3.They may have trouble with abandonment.
Anyone who has experienced depression understands the burden it can be. It can also be a burden for those closest to them. Sometimes when you let someone in enough to see the struggles you have, they walk the other way. Though it's hard to blame these people for leaving, it creates a serious feeling of abandonment for those with depression. It forges a need for secrecy, out of fear of the recession of those they love. There is nothing more heartbreaking than finding out your ugliest layer of self is too ugly for someone you love to handle.
4. They can be pros at "cover-up" stories.
This can be for anything from the cuts on their arms to the reason they skipped dinner. People who live with different forms of depression experience various hardships that can at times impede the normalcy of their daily lives. In these low instances, they know what to say to avoid attention from others to those displays of pain. Often they don't want to recognize that they are hitting a low point either, so they know how to hide it.
5. They may have abnormal sleeping and eating habits.
This may seem like a small sign or factor, but it has a grave effect. Those who live with depression in an unrevealing way can sometimes only let the little signs show. Sleeping too much or too little are textbook examples. The same goes goes for eating too little or too much. Sleep and nutrition are two critical elements to health. They are also two elements that the human mind can attempt to control. Depression creates a suffocating lack of control, and being able to control at least something, can be all a person has. Sleep can be nearly impossible, or it can be the only escape. The same goes for eating.
6. They may understand substances differently.
A person who handles their depression also knows how to monitor what they put into their body. They know alcohol is a depressant, and drinking it over an extended period of time can create a mental state of low that they are less equipped to handle than the average person. They know that caffeine and sugar are uppers for their moods. They know what medications do what. They know what doesn't mix well. They know all of this because altering their state of mind in any way is much more of a responsibility than it may be for other people.
7. They may exhibit a very involved perception of life and death.
Not every person with depression has felt suicidal. However, depression often invokes a unique and complex thought process about life in general. Facing one's mortality often comes at moments of desperation. It happens when you are furiously seeking answers to all of life's questions. Being dragged in and out of horrible mindsets can cause these kind of thoughts to be more frequent.
8. They are often uniquely talented and expressive.
Many of the most inspired and life-changing artists, musicians, and leaders of this world were also plagued by mental illness. I use the word "plagued" in a contradicting fashion, because having a serious depth of emotions can also lead to profound greatness. People who live with depression that may not be visible to the naked-eye, often express themselves in incredible ways. They are in touch with the good and bad pieces of their souls. They are able to formulate and illustrate beauty through the shadows of the emotions they carry.
9. They are often searching for a purpose.
Everyone wants a purpose in life. We want to know that what we are doing is worthwhile. We want to know that we are moving in the right direction. Those who live with unseen depression want this as well, and in a way that attempts to satisfy something inside of them that may always be hungry for more. Feelings of inadequacy and fear are no stranger to the depressed mind. People with hidden depression are almost always trying to compensate in their life for the frailties that they have inside. They may change directions often. They may become incredibly involved in the pursuit of true happiness. They are also striving and searching for more.
10. They at some times will release subtle cries for help.
Even a person who knows how to live with the burden of their own mind can need help. Outcries from people you aren't expecting are easily overlooked. Sometimes it isn't safe for people to be on their own with their depression; as much as they say differently. Sometimes they will reach out. Sometimes they will open up. These moments are the most crucial, because they are especially powerful. They are what builds a bridge between people who have different levels of emotions and mindsets. They are what creates a closeness and trust among friends and lovers that isn't always easy if some feel they have to camouflage their true selves.
11. They seek love and acceptance, as every person does.
Shielding the world from one's personal demons is not done so for the sake of dishonesty. People who live with depression in a private and undisclosed way do so for protection. This is for the protection of their hearts. This is for the protection of the people around them. This is for the protection of the success of their dreams. Some of those reading this may have felt an eerie connection to these habits. Whether you have been treated for depression, or you simply have treated yourself, you know how easy it is to feel alone. I entitled this article about those with unseen depression, but the truth is that most depression goes unseen by our human nature. We live in a world that encourages us to hide what is dark and unpleasant. We don't have to.
The most important habit and motivation of those with unseen depression to understand is that they search for love and acceptance. We all do. The only way to gain it is to spread it. Never turn away from a person who seems to be struggling. Love when it's difficult. Cry when you need to. Reach out when someone closes the door. Open your heart, even if it feels terrifying to do so. If we keep forcing the bad to go unseen, the good will also go unseen.

Skittle Dress
Posted by Jeffrey Scott Thomas in Arts & Crafts (Articles) on January 10, 2015
This dress is now owned by Ripley's Believe It Or Not – and contains over three thousand Skittles. What a piece of work! Can you imagine placing each and every one of those Skittles – it had to be so painstakingly done to look so great.
10 Uses For Your Used Tea Bags
Posted by Jeffrey Scott Thomas in Cleaning, Home, Car, Yard, and Pets, Recycle/Upcycle/Repourposeing, Tid-Bits & Funnies on January 10, 2015
1. Sooth puffy and tired eyes – the most common use of tea bags.
Staring at a computer, reading, watching, almost everything we do daily challenges our eyes. Tea helps relieve redness and swelling and refreshes tired eyes. Put the tea bags in ice-cold water or simply pour on water and leave in the refrigerator. We suggest you use them at bedtime, while resting your eyes. This is pretty much all you need, with absolutely no cost.
2. Tea bags help with sweaty feet.
Soak your feet in luke warm tea prepared with used tea bags before bedtime for 15 minutes and wipe with a clean towel.
3. Minimize the effect of bruising.
Tannic acid, contained mostly in black tea, has the ability to restrict swelling by constricting the blood vessels. Apply a fresh, cooled bag of black tea on your trauma and leave for 20 minutes. For better results repeat once more during the day.
4. Tea bags are a remedy for minor sunburn.
Wet tea bags ease the pain of sunburns. If bigger areas of your body are affected, try to take a cool bath adding several tea bags to the water.
5. Tea bags help with razor cuts.
Wet tea bags sooth pain from razor cuts. Use a cooled tea bag to stop the bleeding and reduce skin damage with the helpful antioxidants found in tea.
6. Tea bags help with acne.
Wipe your face with used green tea bag. Before you rub a tea bag on your skin, wash and rinse the skin with a hypoallergenic cleanser. Apply the cooled tea bag on the skin and let it stand for 10-15 minutes. Rooibos tea is one of the best options for acne treatment. Rooibos, also known as Red Bush, is a plant native to South Africa and has been used in the local traditional medicine for centuries.
7. Tea bags help with oral hygiene.
Speed up the healing process of painful sores in your mouth by slightly biting onto a tea bag soaked in water.
8. Tea bags can freshen your breath.
Bad breath usually is due to a number of reasons such as eating smoking, dry mouth or other medical conditions. Bad breath is caused primarily by the bacteria on the back of your tongue or between your teeth. Both green and black tea can stop the growth of the bacteria. Rinsing with strong brewed tea reduces the unpleasant smell from the mouth. Use 2 or more used tea bags to prepare a new cup of tea. Let it come to room temperature and the use to clean your mouth. For better result repeat daily after meals.
9. Tea bags effectively absorb unpleasant odors.
Tea can help reduce unpleasant smell of hands such as fish or garlic. In addition, tea bags can be used inside the fridge or you can stick them in the trash can. You can also use them in ashtrays to reduce smell. An other idea is to stick dry tea bags with lavender flavor or other herbal tea of your choice in the seat covers of your car to get a natural air freshener.
10. Tea bags could be used for washing dishes, especially if you are allergic to soaps or other detergents.
No matter how strange it sounds, tea does have cleaning properties. Using a bunch of re-brewed tea bags, you can easily remove dirt or grease from mirrors, windows, floors, kitchen counters or other wooden furniture. Remember that after cleaning, make sure to dry the surface, because tea is also a good natural dye!

Pallet Magazine / Book Or File Folder Holder
Posted by Jeffrey Scott Thomas in Child's Room, Craft Projects, Home, Office on January 10, 2015
Cut a pallet as seen in the last picture to create three racks for a wall to hold magazines or easily reachable file holders for forms or files needed quickly and repetitively in an office. These would work out great in a child's room to make books and coloring books easily accessible to little hands as well. Can be finished in a number of different ways from painting to staining. Think about final little details like deals, large nail heads or upholstery nail heads etc. Something very useful made from something free – the only cost is from your imagination of ho the finish should look like.
Mason Jar Lighting Structures
Posted by Jeffrey Scott Thomas in Ideas & Inspiration on January 10, 2015
I am always amazed at peoples creativity – and these are two prime examples of that. If you are able to wire these structures would make a great addition to your home and it would be at a great price. The second picture shows usage of two different types of mason jars being used which creates an even better presentation in my opinion. You might think that these would only work in a country or cabin decor but i think if used in even a modern home these could be a very interesting piece and conversation starter. Almost like a piece of art.
Fine Cut Ingredients For Omelet, Tacos Or Pizza

This is a simple solution to cut up ham,onion,cheese,green bell peppers and tomato for an omelet or toppings for a pizza or tacos. Just use a pizza cutter – fast and easy – just make sure you use a nice sharp one to make the process quicker.

What would you like/not like in a finished basement?
We're thinking of finishing our basement this winter. Mostly for resale, we don't exactly need the space. We will do almost all the work so it'll be done at a very reasonable cost. We don't plan on billing it as an apartment, but more of a family/teen/entertaining space. What worth putting in and not putting it? What do you wish you had in your basement or wish you didn't have.
I would love a big recreation room and a bathroom in the basement. If the laundry is in the basement I would like to see shelving/cupboards, and a folding counter in the laundry room. I would also like some space left for storage. I wouldn't appeciate things like a bar, sauna or bedroom in a basement.
Would like:
A full bathroom
Storage area
Jacks everywhere for tv and internet
More outlets that you think should be there
Wiring for home theater
A great laundry area WITH a sink
Ceramic flooring
Don't want at all:
Excessive overhead lighting
A bar
non-drywalled surfaces
This was my list when we remodeled our basement!
Storage, storage, storage. Deep built-in shelves are nice.
A very clear indication that this is a DRY basement. No musty smell, no carpet on floor (unless it's raised) or anything that might be an expensive pain in the tush if things got flooded or the washer sprung a leak etc.
Bathroom is nice if there is only one upstairs, otherwise I wouldn't bother with the expense.
If the upstairs is very formal, I'd make the basement room very casual, where feet on the table are allowed and you can build a life-size leggo sculpture if you wanted to.
Fire escape, either an exit to outside or a window that is large enough to get through. I hate feeling trapped in a basement.
Soundproofing if it's intended to be a play room (toys, music, workout equipment)
Ditto me on the outlets and jacks
Lots of lighting, but not flourescent
Workshop would be nice if there isn't one elsewhere. A wide counter with a pegboard would do.
Rec area, bedroom(office/home gym), bathroom and storage room. Also, I have space for a workshop or any kind of dirty work.
Also, if you live in a cold climate, add some kind of supplemental heat source down there. Your central heating system may not be adequate. I love my gas stove.
You want it to be comfortable in winter.
We are finishing our basement this winter also. We are only finishing 1/2 of the basement the other 1/2 will be for storage, washer and dryer furnace and oil tank and work shop. I don't want a bathroom. 2 full baths in the house for a family of 4 is enough for us to keep clean. We have a refrigerator in the basement now so we are going make a mini kitchen with just enouth room for a sink, microwave, and coffee maker. I am looking into Ikea cabinets for this. We are adding closets/pantry for storage of bulk items from cosco and BJ's. We will be using dry wall , ceramic tile for the floor, recessed lighting (cans) , and a suspended ceiling. I want to be able to get to any wires or pipes if I have to without having to break through drywall. The lights will be able to be turned on or off at the top of the stairs, as well as in the basement. The basement will also be on a separate heating zone to conserve oil during the winter. The room will be one open space and not divided into smaller rooms. This room is goning to be used mostly by my sons who are ages 14 and 11. I don't think that I would put much money into a basement if it's just for resale. I would just stick to the basics of four walls, ceiling, floor, heat and some closet space. The new owner will have their own idea on how to decorate and use the space. Keep it simple.
More important than what you put in, is the quality of the workmanship.
In my decades of looking at homes as a broker and renovator, the basements that are left "as is" are the ones that are usually preferable. Too many finished basements display an encyclopedia of defects only matched by the dangers they hide. (A guru of "flipping" in our area advocated this cure for damp basement floors: level it with a wood platform and put on a new floor.)
I wouldn't finish the basement for resale only. I think your return on investment will be poor. It is also alot of work. If you do decide to do it anyway, get permits and do it with qaulity workmanship and to modern codes. I agree with "worthy", a cheap DYI basement can sometimes be a liability rather than an asset.
I have been looking at a lot of open houses to get ideas on finishing my basement. I have started to like a very open basement instead of trying to do too much with it (small exercise room, small bedroom, small home theater room, etc). I like the idea of plenty of COAX, ethernet, phone and electric boxes so I have a choice of where I want to put things without a long cord running across the floor.
I don't think I would do it for resale. I would make sure it looks like a clean and dry basement. That way people would see they can finish it. If a buyer (like you) doesn't really need the space they won't pay extra for it. Everybody has different needs. The main problem with doing a generic finished basement is the plumbing. Some people may want nothing, some might like a bar sink, some might want a half bath, some a full bath. You get the idea.
An emergency exit is also an issue with permits.
Like -
basement that does not smell musty
has no signs of water seepage -
clean, dry
If finished
1. Sound proofing - for noise going up & down
2. Well lit and wired -
3. Storage
4. Flooring that can be changed in event of water - since basements are the most likely place for water issues
-safety features
egress, firestopping,
Rec area large enough for a pool table or ping pong table
Enclosed area for tool bench and tool storage
comfortable area for TV watching
These are universal things I see in finished basements. However, I agree with the previous points that you should not finish it for the sake of selling. The best thing to do is make sure its clean dry, and free of smells. We bought our house with an unfinished basement and the previous owners painted the floor to control dust, and thats it. Also, many cities/townships will require that you create a fire escape as part of code. This can be expensive and you may not want to pay that unless YOU really want a finished basement.

Well those who read BD news papers regularly would always take any news without a credible source with a pinch of salt. Dramatization and playing to nationalist sentiments is bread butter for our news paper reporters and bloggers. Right now the dramatization will help us create a public opinion against the draft proposal which is good. The previous president made a deal with Pakistan ignoring the security needs of our players so it won't be too surprising if BCB gives in to pressure from BCCI. Public pressure generated from reports is a necessary tool to prevent this from happening.

Sturm und Drang in money market funds: when money market funds cease to be narrow
This paper investigates the returns and flows of German money market funds before and during the liquidity crisis of 2007/2008. The main findings of this paper are: In liquid times money market funds enhanced their returns by investing in less liquid papers. By doing so they outperformed other funds as long as liquidity in the market was high. Investing in less liquid assets, however, widens the narrow structure of money market funds and makes them vulnerable to runs. During the shortening of liquidity caused by the subprime crisis illiquid funds experienced runs, while more liquid funds functioned as a safe haven.

Intel Drops MeeGo 121
from the one-crap-standard-to-rule-them-all 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).
Bad news, intel drops it.
Good news, Linux Foundation is in charge. Some of you may not have followed along since the beginning, but Moblin begat Meego, and what was Moblin? Intel put a Clutter-based UI on Linux after stripping its ability to run on anything not based on a recent Intel CPU. Whoop. De. Doo. None of what Intel did to Linux with Moblin has any repercussions for anyone not using an x86-compatible Intel processor. While that does still seem to cover the majority of the market, it's still not an interesting basis for a Linux distribution; rather, it is a collection of features which by now have made it into the mainline.
So the bad news is that Intel has given up on the notion that x86 is ready for phones, but that's good news too. And meanwhile, Intel can go back to doing what they do best, trying to trip AMD up so that they don't have to compete on a level playing field. Since anyone can contribute to Linux, they were never going to differentiate themselves from AMD there.
It isn't a good thing. I don't know what moblin was like, but Mameo was pretty much a fully complete, working operating system that shipped on actual devices the merger with Moblin set them back a couple years. Nokia would have been better off to decline the invitation to merge with Moblin.
To downgrade the human mind is bad theology. - C. K. Chesterton

Singer Clay Aiken and Rocker Dee Snyder Give NewsChannel 9 Tonight A Preview of "The Celebrity Apprentice"
POSTED: Wednesday, February 15, 2012 - 6:45pm
UPDATED: Friday, February 17, 2012 - 11:18pm
The 12th installment of the NBC reality show "The Celebrity Apprentice" premiers Sunday right here on NewsChannel 9. This time, there are more contestants than ever before. I had a chance to catch up with two of the contestants about what this season has in store.
"You will not be disappointed if you're looking for hair pulling and table flipping," said singer Clay Aiken.
Aiken and rocker Dee Snyder joined us via satellite to talk about the latest installment of "The Celebrity Apprentice", where contestants are playing for a chance to be Donald Trump's apprentice. "This is the largest cast so far: 18 people. And it's 15 weeks of episodes," said Snyder.
"It's a really eclectic group... and everybody's coming from different backgrounds and different areas of the entertainment industry," said Clay.
Among the guys: comedian Arsenio Hall, Michael Andretti, comedian and podcaster Adam Carolla and illusionist Penn Jillette just to name a few.
On the women's team: "Teresa Guidice, Victoria Gotti, Cheryl Tiegs, Debbie Gibson, Aubry O'Day," said clay.
Some of those names spell trouble. "I tell you what, it's never been truer than this season. The women's team, they make last year's team look like librarians," said Dee.
Each week, a team is assigned a task that usually involves raising money. The winning project manager gets to award their wins to the charity they're playing for. Aiken is playing for the National Inclusion Project, an organization he founded to help include kids with disabilities into programs with kids without disabilities.
Snyder is playing for the March of Dimes. "I'm the national spokesperson for "Bikers for Babies". Two of my four kids were born prematurely. Thankfully they were healthy, but other families are not as lucky and March of Dimes helps those families in need," said Snyder.
The losing team has to go into the board room where team members have to vouch for why they should not be voted off. "I have been nervous in the board room but I don't tend to show it. I kind of keep quiet. I feel like I'm giving away my strategy to Dee. I don't want him to hear it. But I find that it's better to shut your mouth until you're spoken to," said Clay.
Will clay's strategy work? You'll have to tune in to find out.
"The Celebrity Apprentice" premieres this Sunday February 19th at 8:00 p.m. here on NewsChannel 9 right after "The Voice".

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Municipal revenues in Canada falling as bills pile up
Canada is an urban nation with over 80 per cent of its population living in cities or towns. At the dawn of Confederation, the urban-rural split was exactly the opposite, with just over 80 per cent of the population in rural areas.
Today, not only is Canada mainly urban, but 40 per cent of its population live in just four urban areas -- Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver and Calgary. The 10 biggest CMAs account for nearly 60 per cent of Canada's population, with cities like Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver larger than many provinces when it comes to both population and economic output.
Despite their demographic and economic clout, municipalities in Canada feel hard done by and lacking in the resources needed to tackle vital infrastructure such as roads, sewers and water. The infrastructure report cards put out by the Federation of Canadian Municipalities maintain that, after years of neglect, a significant proportion of municipal infrastructure is ranked as either "fair" or "very poor." Catastrophic weather events increasingly have put this infrastructure under strain.
It's not just about more money: The 2013 Report on the State of Canada's Cities and Communities also argues part of the problem lies in the Canadian division of powers. The Federation of Canadian Municipalities has called for explicit recognition by the federal government of the role of cities through a tangible political framework.
Municipalities are correct when they lament that they have an inferior position to the federal and provincial governments when it comes to their participation in the Canadian tax and expenditure system. However, this is a function of the Constitution, which does not even recognize them as a separate tier of government, but simply regards them as creatures of the provinces. Making cities an equal partner in Confederation will require constitutional change, which is a lot of hard work.
Canada's cities would probably be happy with more money rather than decades of constitutional wrangling. Yet the evidence suggests local government in Canada has been doing reasonably well when it comes to both revenue and expenditure growth.
Why are municipalities annoyed despite their revenue and spending growth? A much larger proportion of municipal spending is funded by grant revenue as opposed to the provinces. For example, grants from the federal government account for about 20 per cent of provincial-territorial government revenues. As for local governments in Canada, they receive nearly 50 per cent of their total revenues in the form of grants -- mainly from their respective provincial governments.
Municipalities have relatively fewer tools for own-source revenue generation. Aside from property taxation and user fees, municipalities are dependent on the kindness of other levels of government for a large chunk of their spending, putting them in a position of constant supplication.
More irritating is that since 2010 total grant revenues for local governments have declined and own-source revenue growth has slowed. Overall, total local government revenues in Canada fell from $148.9 billion in 2010 to $146.7 billion in 2012. Yet, over the period 2010 to 2012, federal government revenues grew from $231.9 to $253.4 billion while total provincial-territorial revenues have grown from $348.9 to $372.2 billion.
However, while total provincial-territorial revenue grew, their own grant revenue was down from $74.8 billion in 2010 to $72.6 billion in 2012. Meanwhile, local government grant revenues between 2010 and 2012 fell from $72.6 to $68.6 billion. Despite their overall revenue growth, the provinces seemed to have passed their own transfer reductions directly down to the municipalities. Needless to say, the municipalities are annoyed.

Fair Measure for AllMeasurement Canada is responsible for ensuring the integrity and accuracy of measurement in the Canadian marketplace. We: develop and administer the laws and requirements governing measurement, evaluate, approve and certify measuring devices, and investigate complaints of suspected inaccurate measurement.
Weights and MeasuresThe Weights and Measures Act and Regulations set the rules for the purchase and sale of measured products and services. The Act requires that: measuring devices be approved for use in Canada, only approved and certified measuring devices be used in measurement-based financial transactions, owners and operators ensure their measuring devices function accurately and are not used in a fraudulent manner, the quantities declared for products bought and sold on the basis of measurement be accurate within prescribed limits, and only units of measurement described in the Act be used in commercial transactions.The Weights and Measures Regulations specify: the accuracy requirements for measuring devices, commodities, services and measurement standards, the requirements for measuring device installation and use, and the fees and charges associated with measuring device approval and certification.

The Sabres players took part in the final pre-series press conference.
Q. Ryan, can you comment on the comparisons to Hockey Town and Buffalo, having known what Detroit is all about and just beyond ?? exciting is beyond anything you've ever saw there in?
RYAN MILLER: I got a chance to go to a lot of games but not around the time they were playing for the Cup, but the affiliation with the team and the city and the way they feel about hockey there, yeah, this town definitely is from what I've seen, I think this town is actually a little crazier so, it's been a lot of fun.

The playoffs are a time when players can create reputations. Have a bad regular season, but show up in the playoffs, and you can be hailed a hero. Have a great regular season and a bad and short playoff season and you are seen as a failure.
Playoff pedigree matters. Look at the men who will be playing in the Conference Finals this year and you see some huge playoff performers:

Bargains And The Anti-Digger
Blog: Abel to Yzerman By IwoCPO
05/09/07 at 02:57 PM ET | Comments (0)
Mike Brophy at The Hockey News has a story up referring to our boy Homer's status as a big-time bargain.
So when the veteran GM of the Detroit Red Wings had the opportunity to lock up gritty right winger Tomas Holmstrom for three years at $6.75 million, he jumped at it.
And why not? The 10-year veteran appears to be getting better with age. While some 30-goal scorers command significantly more money, Holmstrom is one of the NHL's biggest bargains at an average of $2.25 million a season.
In his past two seasons, the 34-year-old from Pieta, Sweden has enjoyed career-high years of 29 and then 30 goals, making it hard to believe he didn't test the free agent waters.

Wings Ticket Update
05/09/07 at 02:07 PM ET | Comments (0)
Well, this morning I took a quick look at the Wings ticket situation for game 1. I could have purchased a block of 16 tickets in the upper bowl, row 24 at $99 a piece or a block of 20 standing room only tickets for $108 a pop.
Can you imagine if the opposing team was a little closer than Anaheim? The Joe would have a well represented presence from the visiting team.

Wings Fans- Blame Duhatschek
05/09/07 at 01:55 PM ET | Comments (0)
from Eric Duhatschek of the Globe and Mail,
I asked Schneider: Did he believe there was justice in professional sport? He had a big smile on his face, when he answered in four precise words: No, I do not. But he knew where I was going – that even if the Sharks were only a minute away from assuming a 3-1 series lead, Detroit was the better team by far that night and deserved to win in overtime.
So when Schneider broke his wrist in the next game – proving his point, there was no justice in pro sport – I almost felt as if I'd jinxed him with the question. Superstition shows no bounds, presumably.
read on and Eric reverses the curse, picking the Wings in six.

Searching For Goals
05/09/07 at 12:20 PM ET | Comments (0)
from Jack Todd of the Montreal Gazette,
Hockey needs goals. More than soccer, where much of the excitement is in the buildup of the play. Somehow, My New NHL extends only as far as the beginning of the playoffs: once we get into the post-season, the norm is the 2-1 game—and it's not enough.
There doesn't appear to be a dramatic change in the way referees call the game. They seem to be carrying on the regular-season crackdown on obstruction and hooking. But defenders are still lining up four and five abreast at the blue line, it is still almost impossible to carry the puck into the zone, and if you do break through you are dealing with almost unbeatable goaltenders from Roberto Luongo to Jean-Sebastien Giguere to Dominik Hasek.

A Different Kind Of Tape
05/09/07 at 11:44 AM ET | Comments (0)
A few weeks ago, HNIC did a feature on "Blade Tape".
NHL Digest thought it was interesting enough to contact the company and get the scoop.
BladeTape is an alternative to traditional cloth hockey tape. It is a self adhesive rubber application that repels snow and ice to offer better control of the puck than traditional cloth tape used on the hockey sticks. It has been patented and tested to be durable for about 12 ice sessions, but some have claimed that it can be used substantially longer.

This wonderful little stone church must be one of the most photographed buildings in New Zealand. Known as the church of the Good Shepherd it sits on the banks of Lake Tekapo. I had a very small window of opportunity due to incredibly bad weather and I took it.

Don't let those back-to-school ads fool you. There are still plenty of summer activities left to do with your family in the next 20 days before JCPS and most surrounding school districts resume classes.
