Gisele Bundchen having a boy
Gisele Bundchen is reportedly expecting a boy.The 29-year-old supermodel is due to give birth to her first child with husband Tom Brady, 32, in December and the couple are planning to call the infant Gabriel.
A source told National Enquirer magazine: "One of Gisele's five sisters is named Gabriela, and she's always thought it was a beautiful name.
"Gisele was brought up a Roman Catholic, and Gabriel is an archangel, a messenger from God, in the New Testament.
"She's also friends with Brazilian singer-songwriter Gabriel Guerra. They met in Rio de Janeiro last year, and he wrote the song 'Tribute to Gisele' for her. She liked it so much she put it on her website."
The couple are reportedly delighted by the news, and Gisele "can't stop" talking about the new addition to her family.
The source added: "Tom and Gisele didn't care if they had a boy or a girl, just as long as everything was OK with the child.
"But now that Gisele knows it's a boy, she's so excited, she can't stop telling people."
Tom - who has a two-year-old son, John, with actress Bridget Moynahan - recently spoke of his excitement at becoming a father, insisting it will be easier than his football training.
He joked: "It couldn't be harder than this training camp, so I'll be prepared."

On September 13, 2010, my husband and I welcomed our beautiful daughter Natalie into the world. At only four months old, we began to notice a couple of things that bothered us. One being that Natalie could not hold her head up. Also, she was experiencing these random episodes where her eyes would begin to jump up and own very rapidly. We voiced our concerns to her pediatrician and were told that if at her next check up Natalie was still having these problems that we would be referred to a professional. In February 2011, we visted a Pediatric Eye Doctor who examined Natalie and told us that she suffered from Optic Nerve Hypoplasia. We were told that there was a chance that Natalie could be blind. As if that wasn't bad enough, a few weeks later we were sent to Le Bonheur to meet with a Pediatric Neurologist. Natalie was given an EEG and the results showed that she was having seizures. That same day we were admitted and ended up staying a week at Le Bonheur for more testing. After an overnight EEG, MRI, CT Scan, Spinal Tap and what seemed like a never ending round of Q and A, Natalie was diagnosed with Infantile Spasms. We were given a prescription for twice daily injections of Acthar Gel but after about a month or so we were switched to Keppra. Natalie was seizure free for several months. In January 2012, she had her first seizure since June 2011. Today, Natalie is 20 months old and perfectly healthy. However, because of her seizure disorder, Natalie's development has been severely delayed and she is currently working with five different therapists. We are so thankful for our wonderful support group an for the people who have made it their job to help children like Natalie. I have been searching for a way to give back and I came across the Epilepsy Foundation of Mississippi. I was taken back by the stories of others who are suffering and it makes me happy to know that if Natalie has to continue living with Epilepsy, that there are people who can not only help her but help us help her.

Parental Guidance: One Direction: This is Us and Getaway
We give you what you need to know about the family-friendliness of this week's new releases.
In Theaters This Week:
One Direction: This is Us
Rating: PG, for mild language.
There is nothing even vaguely shocking or inappropriate in this extended infomercial about the British boy-band sensation. No groupies, no partying, no infighting. There's nothing terribly insightful, either. Director Morgan Spurlock made his name with documentaries like Super Size Me, which examined the power of corporate culture; here, he's a cog in that very machinery. His film follows the pre-fab five -- Harry, Zayn, Niall, Liam and Louis -- on stage and behind the scenes of their world tour. Spurlock has said he intended this as his version of A Hard Day's Night, and while it does feature the lads enjoying some mildly wacky antics, these are no Beatles. They barely even have distinguishable personalities. Totally suitable for fans of any age, and tolerable for the parents who are forced to drive them to the theatre.
Rating: PG-13, for intense action, violence and mayhem throughout, some rude gestures, and language.
An insane number of cars gets demolished in the name of mindless summer entertainment. Innocent bystanders get mowed down, property is destroyed and general mayhem rules the streets. In the center of it all, causing this damage on command in hopes that he'll be able to save his kidnapped wife, is Ethan Hawke. As the awesomely named Brent Magna, Hawke plays a washed-up racecar driver who's stuck in a stolen, souped-up car following the cruel and arbitrary instructions of a disembodied voice (Jon Voight) who has orchestrated his wife's abduction. Then Selena Gomez shows up as the car's owner and becomes his hostage, then his unwitting partner. The two trade stilted, profane banter.
New On DVD:
The Great Gatsby
Rating: PG-13, for some violent images, sexual content, smoking, partying and brief language.
Decadent partying permeates this film, which should come as no surprise to anyone who read the classic F. Scott Fitzgerald novel that inspired it in 10th-grade English class. Reclusive, nouveau-riche Jay Gatsby (Leonardo DiCaprio) tries to win back his lost love, the dazzling socialite Daisy Buchanan (Carey Mulligan), by staging a series of elaborate soirees that he hopes will catch her attention. Much cigarette smoking and swilling of champagne ensues. Everyone eventually goes home, though, leaving Gatsby to his violent, tragic fate. Director Baz Luhrmann depicts it all lavishly - and in 3-D, no less. But he doesn't seem to get the melancholy soul of the novel: the loneliness, and the crumbling of the American dream. Totally fine for tweens and high-school kids.

FRiday, DECEMBER 10, 2010 at the castro theatre in San Francisco, CA. "PUSH IT TO THE LIMIT!" Triple Feature (ONLY $12 FOR one or ALL three FILMS!) 7:30pm - JUST ONE OF THE GUYS (1985) (25TH ANNIVERSAY SCREENING!) Directed by Lisa Gottlieb Containing: Joyce Hyser, Sherilyn Fenn, Clayton Rohner, Billy Jayne What looked like your typical T&A comedy turned out to be one of the decade's most interesting role reversals comedies. When the high school newspaper dismisses Terry's article, she kick starts a personal journey exploring not only her school's inequality towards women and men but ends up questioning the whole damn decade! Keep your eyes glued for an oversexed Sherilyn Fenn and prepare for Billy Jayne who gives one of the funniest little brother performances ever! Preceded by other 80s T&A trailers. Archive print courtesy of Columbia. 90 minutes Watch the RARE Teaser trailer here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zGibIaY7MSY Playing with... 9:30pm - POiNT BREAK (1991) (20TH ANNIVERSARY SCREENING!) Directed by Kathryn Bigelow Containing: Patrick Swayze, Keanu Reeves, Gary Busey, Lori Petty & Tom Sizemore Even though the film has created quite a Cult following over the past 20 years, many still have not watched the film in it's entirely, much less learned to appreciate the true brilliance of Kathryn Bigelow's exploration of Man's "purpose". Combining subversive politics, action scenes on-par with John Woo's greatest moments (THE KILLER, HARDBOILED), killer surfing sequences and a relationship that's "for the ages", you've got yourself one helluva contemporary classic! RARE Original WIDESCREEN 35mm print. Preceded by other Crayze Swayze trailers! 120 minutes. MiSS THiS AND CRY! Watch the theatrical trailer here:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UuVDrpl1tIY Playing with... 11:59pm - MANiAC: DIRECTOR'S CUT (1980) (30TH ANNIVERSARY SCREENING WITH SPECIAL GUEST DIRECTOR WILLIAM LUSTIG IN PERSON!) Written by Joe Spinell & C.A. Rosenberg Directed by William Lustig; Special Effects by Tom Savini Containing: Joe Spinell, Caroline Munro and Tom Savini Earning instant notoriety in 1980 as the most graphic and disturbing of all stalker films, due to the SFX wizardry of Tom Savini DAWN OF THE DEAD (1978), many critics and audiences walked out in the first 10 minutes. (Even Siskel & Ebert called for their audience to boycott the film!) This extremely violent exploration of a deranged serial killer and his issues with gender, has an amazingly surreal and psychotic grit that all the most recent torture-porn films only dream of achieving. It's time to take another look at this horrific and mean spirited baddie in a BRAND NEW RESTORED UNRATED VERSION (Complete with the hotel room sequence!). Like the lost brother of Abel Ferrara's DRILLER KILLER (1979) and MS. 45 (1981), this shock-masterpiece has quite a lot more goin' on than people gave it credit for. NEW 35mm Print courtesy of Grindhouse Pictures. Preceded by the meanest Stalker trailers I own. 88 minutes Preceded by a Q&A with Director William Lustig IN PERSON!

Maybe they'll put a mid station on the gondola?
I'm curious, though. I know nothing about RCR. I'm not a westerner, but I have spent a week at KH and am heading out again in January. It seems to me that there hasn't been a big investment in hill infrastructure by the current owners: there's a gondola, a quad and an ancient double that goes nowhere. Most new things there appear to be strictly real estate oriented. Then again, I don't know what it was like before Last edited by Bones; 12-22-2011 at 08:29 PM. |

I know a mid station is wanted by many but I think it would be a bad thing. It would just mean people could lap the best terrain faster which would track it out quick on pow days.
I wouldn't hold my breath on RCR spending anymore money there. The owners just want the 2 km x 8km stretch of land at the base to develop condos.
So many runs so little time. |

Bones, you are seeing it exactly as it has been. Not to mention the locally named "stairway to nowhere" chair
So if RCR buys it, then probably nothing will change really. (continue with slow real estate development, and little or no on-hill development) I'm one of the people who would like to see a mid-station... - lap any of bowls/ridges - lap the lower mountain (and especially better for the families too) - a month longer season for both skiing and biking - help alleviate that ridiculous gondola line at the bottom |

So it sounds like RCR would be kinda "experience neutral"? Build real estate, keep the hill as is? With the possibility of bigger crowds and higher ticket prices?
I kinda saw the darker side of the way larger resort companies operate when Interwest bought Tremblant. At first, it seemed great with all the real estate infrastructure being built, but when they started having cash problems, then "the squeezing the cash out of guests at every opportunity" started. I still like Tremblant, but I don't go on weekends and I avoid all holidays and school break weeks. And I bring my own lunch and I don't stay for a beer and I only use the singles line and I never ever use the gondola if at all possble. I'm just curious as to why people are "disliking" this KH purchase, sounds like RCR isn't going to be much different than the current owners. What did RCR do to Lake Louise? |

The reason many people dislike RCR is not because they favor Real Estate vs 'on hill expansion'. The vast majority of ski resort ownerships operate this way (after all, it is a business and the point is to make money, which is done from real estate, not from ticket sales)
The reason everyone hates RCR is because of their terrible customer service history. In regards to Lake Louise specifically, one of the major contributing incidents was a few years back when a customer paralyzed himself on a park jump and somehow managed to successfully sue RCR afterward for a sizable chunk of money which led to RCR pulling the jumps from all of their resorts. (what happend to the liability waiver?) I'm pretty sure almost everyone would agree that Louise was a better hill before, and has been since, RCR ownership. There was also the whole Foretress/Nakiska fiasco as lightly mentioned above. There are countless other 'small' incidents relating to money grabbing, poor customer service, and employee treatment at RCR hills. (ps: it's not just out West... everyone here in Quebec hates RCR too) |

Extra checks on Colombo heavy vehicles[TamilNet, Thursday, 07 May 1998, 23:59 GMT]All heavy vehicles entering Colombo from southern part of the island will be checked for bombs and explosives and will be given security clearance at Kattubedde check point, 8 km south of Colombo, before they are allowed to proceed to the city. The newly established Kattubedde check point, on the Galle road, began functioning as of yesterday. All heavy vehicles entering Colombo will have to obtain a security clearance certificate, stating the vehicle owner's name, his/her National Identity card number, the driver's driving license number, information about other passengers in the vehicle, date of entering and leaving Colombo and the vehicle's registration number, before they can proceed to Colombo. Sri Lankan Police suspects that vehicles that have been used in the recent attacks in Colombo were set up with explosives in other parts of the island before entering Colombo. |

Comparison of Carpet Cleaning MethodsWhat is the best way to clean carpet? There are four basic methods for cleaning carpet:Also: Carpet Shampoo MethodThe theory in the shampoo method is to generate a lot of foam in the carpet, allow this foam to dry, have the resulting residue attract the soil and vacuum up the residue and soil the next day. Carpet shampoo products must have the following characteristics which dictate their ingredients:
Therefore, a carpet shampoo must contain a very foamy chemical. The most common ingredient is sodium lauryl sulfate or one of its relatives. Sometime when you're taking a shower or bath, look at the ingredient statement on your hair shampoo bottle. It will say "Contains sodium lauryl sulfate" or some similar wording. Sodium Lauryl Sulfate and its relatives exhibit a very high and very stable foam and are only fair detergents. The problem is that they dry to a soft, sticky residue which will cause resoiling. Because of the resoiling problem, carpet shampoos will frequently also have an anti-resoiling additive such as a resin to reduce this resoiling tendency. Because shampoos are actually very poor detergents and basically simply bury the dirt, they frequently also contain high levels of optical brighteners which take invisible ultraviolet light and convert it to visible light, thus making the carpet appear cleaner and brighter than it really is, for a while. It will eventually give the carpet a yellow cast and the yellow cannot be removed. Two primary types of machines are used for this process:
The Cylindrical Foam Shampoo machine uses an air compressor to create dry foam before the foam is applied to the carpet and the carpet is then agitated with a revolving cylindrical brush which combs the foam through carpet pile. This method will leave dirt trapped in the carpet pile. Carpet must be thoroughly vacuumed before and after cleaning. The Rotary Shampoo method uses an ordinary rotary floor machine (the same kind used for stripping wax), sprays shampoo onto the carpet from a dispensing tank and a rotary brush whips the detergent to a foam. Most carpet mills and carpet fiber producers discourage the use of rotary brushes on carpet because of the potential damage that can occur. Overwetting is common with this method which can cause jute straining, shrinkage and odor. Shampoo methods are inferior due to poor cleaning plus resoiling problems. The Rotary Shampoo method can damage the carpet, especially cut pile (which is what most residential carpet is). Carpet Absorbent CleanersThis method is often called "dry cleaning" since virtually no water is used. In this method, dry absorbent compound (containing small amounts of water, detergent, and solvent,) is sprinkled over carpet or worked into the carpet with a machine. This purpose of this cleaner is to attract and absorb soil. Mechanical agitation from a brush works the cleaner through the carpet. These products usually contain an absorbent carrier, water, detergent and solvent. The theory is that the liquids dissolve the soil and this soil/detergent/solvent mixture is absorbed into the carrier and is then vacuumed up. They are often used with a detergent prespray in heavily soiled areas. The absorbent cleaner most commonly is organic, but may also be polymers. The compound is supposed to absorb the dislodged soil and is then vacuumed away. Carpet must be thoroughly vacuumed before and after cleaning. Very thorough vacuuming should be used to ensure that most of the carrier comes out of the carpet. With the extremely fine powder types, indoor air quality can be reduced. If a white powder starts appearing on shoes and cuffs of pants, too much was used and it was not thoroughly vacuumed up. A common problem is for this white powder to reappear after wet extraction cleaning. This cleaning method has the advantage of no drying time for interim maintenance, since little water is used. This makes it a common maintenance cleaner. Host®, Capture®, Love My Carpet®, Arm and Hammer® and Carpet Fresh® would be included in this category. Bonnet Method / "Carbonated Cleaning"This method is sometimes called "dry cleaning", which is a misnomer, since water is used. Bonnet Shampooing is simply an adaptation of hard floor spray buffing to carpets. This method for carpet maintenance consists of the use of a rotary or oscillating brush adapted with a stiff brush or drive block designed to drive wet, damp or dry pads. The carpet can be sprayed with the cleaning solution and/or the pads can be soaked in the cleaning solution and squeezed lightly before placing the pad under the driving brush. The maintenance brochure published by the world's largest carpet manufacturer, Shaw Industries, suggests not using this method, especially on cut pile, due to pile distortion and fiber damage. This method has very limited capability for soil removal and leaves much of the detergent in the pile since it employs no real extraction. As a result, rapid re-soiling often occurs. Another disadvantage is that the spinning bonnet may distort the fibers of cut pile carpet, fuzzing the pile and leaving distinct swirl marks. Sometimes, carbonated water is used to (in theory) give better soil suspension and bring down the pH. Companies using this method frequently use "scare" tactics to convince consumers that extraction cleaning or steam cleaning will destroy the carpet. Check with your carpet manufacturer because many leading carpet mills recommend against this method of cleaning. Hot water extraction or warm water extraction or steam cleaning ("External Extraction"®) is THE BEST WAY TO CLEAN CARPET according to nearly all carpet manufacturersThis method, the best way to clean carpet, is the cleaning method nearly all carpet manufacturers and carpet fiber producers recommend. This is the only cleaning method classified as "deep cleaning". All the others are considered "light surface cleaning" or "interim cleaning" because they are incapable of removing soil deep in the pile. Also, all other methods leave large amounts of cleaning agent in the carpet after cleaning. The maintenance brochure published by the world's largest carpet manufacturer, Shaw Industries, recommends this method, because its own research indicates that it provides the best capability for cleaning carpet and rugs. This carpet cleaning method is frequently called steam cleaning due to the fine spray of water used to force dirt out of the carpet which is sucked up by the vacuum slot immediately in front of the spray. Seldom is real live steam used, however. This process consists of spraying a solution of water and detergent into the carpet pile and recovering the water and soil with a powerful vacuum into a holding tank. This can be done from a truck-mounted unit outside the home with only the hose and floor tool brought inside, or by a portable, system brought into the home or office. From a health standpoint, the truck-mounted system is preferred because the dirty air and humidity are exhausted outside rather than recirculated around the house. Additionally, truck-mounted systems usually are more powerful than portable units and do a much better cleaning job and get the carpet dry more quickly. With some truck-mounted systems (called PTO's), the vehicle itself must run in neutral during the cleaning and in many others a separate engine (sometimes with a propane or oil-fired heater) is used to power the unit and heat the water. In both cases, the van MUST be parked well away from the house and positioned so that exhaust fumes do not enter the house. Electric carpet cleaning machines, such as the Bane-Clene systems, do not have this problem. Depending upon the equipment, temperatures may range from cold tap water to boiling hot water and even super heated water over 200 degrees F. Of course, with extremely high temperatures, there are dangers of scalding should a solution line break as well as the danger of damaging the carpet fibers. General CommentsThe choice of the the best carpet cleaning method is extremely important. Some systems leave residues which promote re-soiling and defeat the whole purpose of cleaning. Some methods actually damage the carpet fibers and shorten the life of the carpet. Check with the carpet manufacturer for recommendations. Carpet Cleaning Frequency:If carpet is cleaned before it becomes too unsightly, the cleaning chore will be easier and more successful. Allowing the carpet to become overly soiled may result in irreversible damage. It is a common myth that cleaning the carpet before it is absolutely necessary will cause it to get dirty faster. This goes back to the days when the shampoo methods were the most common. Carpet in a typical household should be professionally cleaned every 12 to 18 months depending upon the number of residents, amount and type of activity and whether the carpet is light or dark color. Professional Carpet Cleaning versus "Do-It-Yourself" Cleaning:The maintenance brochure published by the world's largest carpet manufacturer, Shaw Industries, recommends professional carpet cleaning over "Do-It-Yourself" because of the potential problems that can occur from using rental equipment - such as yellowing, overwetting, fiber tip damage, severe resoiling, overuse of detergents, etc. Most rental units available do not adequately clean and may actually damage the carpet.

In situ x-ray diffraction studies of three-dimensional C-60 polymers
UNSPECIFIED. (2002) In situ x-ray diffraction studies of three-dimensional C-60 polymers. JOURNAL OF PHYSICS-CONDENSED MATTER, 14 (45). pp. 11615-11621. ISSN 0953-8984
Full text not available from this repository.Abstract
In situ investigations into the P/T field of C-60 fullerene were performed using energy-dispersive x-ray diffraction techniques. Isobars were obtained at 11 and 9 GPa accompanied by isotherms at 750 and 800 K with pressure reaching 13 GPa. The PIT history and pressure isotropy were investigated with the aim of optimizing conditions for 3D polymer formation. Confirmation of the formation of 3D polymers was performed in situ; however, the reclaimed sample did not exhibit the expected high hardness value, due to depolymerization on pressure release. Isotropy in the pressure field promoted formation and retention of the face-centred-cubic structure.

If liberals think Iraq was a "War for Oil", then the War Between the States was a "War for Cotton" - pure economic imperialism fought by two slave-holding nations, in which one clothed staggering war-crimes (the burning of Atlanta, the March to the Sea, the burning of Columbia, and the march through the Carolinas) under a threadbare mantle of "liberation."

Paul Bettany Talks "Age of Ultron," Working with James Spader & More
Welcome to another edition of What Are You Reading. We had a bit of a scare this week at WAYR Central, as our planned special guest fell through at the last minute due to a lack of proper communication on my part and a sudden illness on his. Quickly becoming panic-striken, I turned to the person I always turn to in such matters — my wife, Evelyn, who handed me a paper bag to breathe into and said she'd fill in this one time as long as I promised never to ask her to do something like this again.
So without further ado, let me present our very special all-nepotism edition of WAYR! Click on the link to find out what delightful comics we're currently reading …
Michael May: I have very mixed feelings about starting Age of Bronze, Vol. 3A. On the one hand, I couldn't be more excited about visiting Shanower's ancient Troy again. On the other, unless I'm missing something, this will catch me up with the collections and I've got an impossibly long wait ahead of me for the next one. WAH!
Brigid Alverson: I'm on vacation at the moment, so I have the luxury of long stretchesof time to just read. Thus I was able to read The Impostor's Daughter, by Laurie Sandell, in a single sitting. I'm glad I had that opportunity, as it's the kind of book that just keeps you turning the pages. It's a memoir, but it is structured like a novel in graphic form, with a well defined arc that builds slowly and thrusts you into the story, then winds up with a satisfying ending. It's not as neat and perfect as a novel, but I admire Sandell's willingness to show an unsparing portrait of herself and her family. Her cheerful pastel palette keeps the book from ever getting too dark, and while the simple art made me think the book would be a quick read, it was actually a very substantial story.
I also picked up Oishinbo: Fish, Sushi, & Sashimi. This is a series of standalone stories about a reporter on a quest to assemble the world's best meal; each volume of the series focuses on a different type of food. Because it ran in a men's magazine, there has to be an element of competition to it — the reporter is out to one-up his father, who is a renowned gourmet. He's also sort of an emotional idiot savant, cynical and antisocial but possessing perfect pitch when it comes to food. The people are drawn rather crudely but the images of food and cooking are lovingly detailed. It's not exactly food porn, but I'm learning a lot about the subtleties of fish from reading it.
Tim O'Shea: I'll start my WAYR input with a cameo by my offspring. G-Man: Cape
Crisis 1 was released this week, much to my son's delight. He was introduced to G-Man through the "G-Man: Learning to Fly" digest a few months back, which compiled all of Chris Giarrusso's Comic Bits strips, so he had only one complaint: "I want more story." This is not a knock of the first issue, my son just went in assuming he would get as many pages of fun as he had in the digest. Bottom line: Both he and I are looking forward to the next issue.
When Starstruck first launched in the early 1980s at Heavy Metal, I was in high school. Even when re-released by Epic Comics in the mid-1980s, while I was old enough for mature audience material, my tastes were not sophisticated enough to seek the work out. This week my tastes and timing finally aligned for the release of the first issue in IDW's re-release of Elaine Lee and Michael Kaluta's original story. Considering the work was originally done in the 1980s, I'm amazed at how Lee scripts scenes almost prophetically forecasting the overload of information thanks to technology. Years ago I bought a sketch from Kaluta that he had drawn on a restaurant doily. He could have drawn it on toilet paper and I would still treasure the piece. As dense (in a good way) as Lee's script is, Kaluta's art, inked by Charles Vess (as the back-up Galactic Girl Guides in each issue are) and re-colored by Lee Moyer is just mind-numbingly, overwhelmingly
rich and delightful.
I read Don MacPherson's Eye on Comics every week, because he frequently writes what I'm thinking, but even better. This past week was no different as he and I both enjoyed Geoff "I don't really get into gore" Johns' first issue of Adventure Comics (DC I would not object if you reverted to the original Adventure numbering as you hinted at this issue). I found myself pointing at the screen and screaming "Yes" when I read MacPherson's praise mixed with concern: "It's my hope that his future Superboy stories maintain this traditional, warm approach rather than turning to darker, nastier elements." (I know it's rude to point, but my laptop understands … the screaming, however, annoys my family).
Last weekend I scored a used copy of Marvel Essentials Two-in-One Volume 2 (covering issues 26-52 and annuals 2 and 3). Marvel Two-in-One was the comic that established my long-term (platonic) affinity for Ben Grimm. Looking at this comic is like cracking open a time capsule. Impossible Man serving as a decoy President Carter, Jim Starlin showing Ben spooked by Spidey while in the middle of a late-night reading of Stephen King's 1975 novel, Salem Lot. But really my favorite moment may occur early in the collection, when Marv Wolfman has Ben flying "upstairs" (from the bowels of the old SHIELD pizza-parlor contact headquarters) to SHIELD's helicarrier with the
narration bit of "a huge flying fortress that would impress anyone … except, perhaps, a certain pile of lumpy orange rocks named Ben Grimm". I mean Wolfman has a point, the helicarrier has always been one of my favorite Marvel transport (next to the Spidey-Mobile) but once you've hung out in the Negative Zone, I imagine a giant flying behemoth is not that nifty.
I wish I had read this first issue of The Replacement Thor storyline in The Incredible Hercules before interviewing co-writer Fred Van Lente. Why? I would have asked if the new pre-K age Zeus is based on Family Guy's Stewie. There's a modern day Bob Hope/Bing Crosby comedy vibe to this new Zeus/Hercules combo and I enjoyed it.
Matthew Maxwell: HEATHENTOWN by Corinna Sarah Bechko and Gabriel Hardman
This somehow totally escaped me when it came out earlier this year. Which was odd because I remember liking the same team's Zuda comics tryout of THE CROOKED MAN awhile back. In fact, Gabriel Hardman was the second guy to buy a copy of the STRANGEWAYS graphic novel at the last Wizard LA show that I attended. I talked with him then, but didn't recall hearing about HEATHENTOWN until a couple of months ago.
The book itself is a solid horror story about an ex Peace Corps volunteer, Ana, and her trip to a small town in rural Florida, to bury her friend, recently killed abroad. Only what she finds there is that people 'round those parts don't stay dead for long. It's a great twist on the Fountain of Youth legend, filled with plenty of chills and atmosphere, never relying on gore to get the job done. In other words, totally and completely up my alley.
The writing was restrained and never got in the way of the art telling the story, which again is something I can admire (since I have a hard time getting myself to shut up and do the same thing). Hardman's art is just great here, plenty of deep shadows and dramatic lighting, but also emotion on the page, which is crucial to getting the story told. I'd easily put him in the same class of graphic storytellers as say, Steve Lieber (who is criminally underrated, probably because he doesn't do the exaggerated style that most superhero comics readers want to read) which is high praise indeed from a guy like me who values telling the story over making an artistic statement.
Keith Giffen and Matthew Clark.
I don't even know if this is a reboot or not. I actually read a few issues of the "new" DOOM PATROL (of which only Cliff Steele from the original series was a part of) and thought they were okay, but didn't come close to the inspired lunacy of the Morrison run. I guess John Byrne rebooted the team after that, but didn't touch on anything that made the team special for me. So maybe this is a continuation, maybe not.
It doesn't really matter, because I don't recognize any of these characters. I mean, there's Negative Man, ElastiGirl, etc. But those were in name only. I didn't recognize any of the characters beneath. Nor did I find them being a super-powered commando team convincing in the slightest. Now, having one of the recurring characters being what amounts to the team's group therapist is a great narrative device, but it's also kinda dull, leading to a lot of talking and not a lot of doing. I want to love the Doom Patrol, but I'm not feeling this incarnation.
Maybe I liked 'em better when they were plain crazy.
The METAL MEN backup is charming but wasn't what I was in the mood for. Is Platinum supposed to be hitting on Professor Magnus? That seemed a little…weird to me. I'm far from an expert on the group, so maybe this was playing to expectation, I don't know.
ESSENTIAL DOCTOR STRANGE v.1
Stan Lee and Steve Ditko.
I'm half-reading this again. Not entirely sure why, other than the beautiful Ditko art. Things are now beginning to kick into gear with the duel with Dormammu, leading up to Eternity and the Living Tribunal way down the road. I'd probably pay too much money for a thick color collection of these on newsprint, just to look at. I still wonder how supreme rationalist Steve Ditko felt about drawing all this black magic mumbo-jumbo and maybe he intentionally made it as crazy as he could (and maybe even a touch stupid, but gloriously so).
Took me into last week to finish off that second Fletcher Hanks book. Head-hurtingly bonkers. Take only in small doses under a doctor's care. May be habit-forming.
Still have all those WEDNESDAY COMICS to read. I may just wait for all of them to land and read each story all of a piece. That's cheating, isn't it?
Chris Mautner: It's not comics, but I took the family to see Ponyo, the new Hayao Miyazaki film yesterday. I had heard it was a bit more cutesy than some of his other recent films and was worried that my kids would find it too dull or babyish. I needn't have worried. It's a delightful, charming film and my kids were rapt the entire time, which is pretty good considering my son usually starts asking "Is it over yet?" around the halfway point of any film.
As far as comics goes, I've spent the last few days perusing the new softcover edition of Adrian Tomine's Shortcomings that D&Q sent me, even though I've read this story twice before already. I really don't get why some folks have such a full hate-on for Tomine. His work is smart, engaging and entertaining and I think Shortcomings is his best comic yet. The complaint that the main character is a jerk kinda misses the forest for the trees to me … since when did the main character necessarily have to be likeable for me to be interested in what happens to him or her?
While I'm going on about Tomine, I should probably note I also reread the recent rerelease of 32 Stories, his original mini-comic version of Optic Nerve that won him all that attention in the first place. D&Q repackaged the whole thing to look like the actual mini-comics — they come enclosed in a sliipcased box now. It's a neat packaging stunt, and the comics themselves hold up relatively well, though they're a little crude compared to what Tomine's been doing since then.
Evelyn Mautner: Oh, the drama of the bedtime story . .
Allow me to start by saying that I am a huge advocate of reading to your children, and am thrilled when I hear that folks routinely tuck in their little ones with a story read aloud.
However, they don't put my kids to bed, which is a 40-minute nightmare. If I could pick a lovely little story (something like Ferdinand, by Munro Leaf, which I adore), oh, what heaven it would be. My daughter, especially, is a book hound, and knows what she likes. She cannot decide which "read" is THE read for any given night, though, so what seems like hours pass before we're reading anything.
As such, what I am reading at this given moment is what my daughter thrusts into my hands.
One of the latest titles with which we have been spending time is The Harvey Girls: Little Audrey, Little Dot and Little Lotta, Volume 5 in the Harvey Comics Classics line. The preceding 4 volumes have been hit-or-miss for me. I found some of the Casper comics rather funny, and even some Baby Hueys were worth a look. However, they weren't funny enough to make me want to read the whole catalogue of stories, not addictive in the way that Little Lulu or Moomin can be.
Perhaps The Lulu Factor is the problem here. I am not someone who grew up reading comics regularly, unless you count the Peanuts strip run in our local daily newspaper, and I guess some Barney Google and Snuffy Smith (ouch, I know). Ergo, I had no idea how good the Lulu stories would be, and was a bit shocked when my husband was touting them as "really funny stuff". They are so good, and to read a few is to want to read a whole lot more (NOT a whole Lotta more, which I'll get to presently).
When handed The Harvey Girls collection by my daughter, then, I'm "thinking Lulu". Well, I can't say that it was another refreshing read, with a strong, wisecracking lead character, always "besting the boys" even that pesky West Side Gang (Yow! They pack a wallop, I betcha.). Suffice is to say that Audrey and Dot are the same, practically, excluding the fact that Dot has dots on her dress. The dots are a point driven home as Dot has a terrifying dream while sleeping on a dunce's chair, in full dunce cap regalia. First, no dots. Then, poof! Her dress has dots as a result of the dream (and the teacher thinks it's all ink from sloppy penmanship. . .silly teachers!).
That's about as good as it gets. Little Lotta is a whole lotta girl, very fat, with lots of cardiovascular surgery in her future. It hurt me to look at her. I kept waiting for a hull breach. No, I'm not being cruel. The strip is much worse. Its entire gag repertoire is: Gaw, this girls is HUGE, and she EATS so much. The writers give her super strength for a young person, so I guess that's supposed to be a tradeoff. However, watching trans fat personified is not funny, it's sad. Perhaps it's just me, Overprotective Mom, thinking about girls and body image. . .and is this trip really necessary?
Hey, it's just my opinion. You can go and laugh along with the antics of the fat girl if it works for you.
I think I'll soothe my bruised Inner Self with some good Lulu now. I am so SURE that Tubby's got it right this time. (By the way, Tubby's fatness, and subsequent fat jokes bother me much less, because they are far from the sum total of his character, or the laughs had at his expense.) If he puts a mess of mustard on that hot dog, there's no WAY that little Alvin kid will want it. Heh. You've got to admire a sharp intellect, and good read.
Evelyn Mautner —
Thanks for your input! I am a big fan of the Casper, Wendy, and Hot Stuff comics. And I agree with you that the Little Audrey, Little Dot, and Little Lotta comics are pretty bad. And I'm not too crazy about Baby Huey and Stumbo the Giant. As is true today, a lot of stuff gets published just to fill space in a schedule or to fill space on the sales rack.
What I'd like to know is if your daughter likes, dislikes, or is neutral about The Harvey Girls. Sometimes, kids will like stuff a whole lot that isn't very good. I love Felix the Cat comics, and I loved the Felix the Cat cartoons when they aired on television some while back, but when I bought a vhs tape of the cartoons, I found it unwatchable. What? That stuff used to be great! What a disappointment that was.
Matthew Maxwell —
Platinum has been hot-for-the-prof since forever. The Responsometer works all too well for her, yet Magnus won't respond to her.
Duly noted.
But it's still creepy.
Just finished Essential Marvel Two-In-One Volume 3. Gruenwald-a-riffic.
Hasn't Platinum always been in love with Doc Magnus?
Punchy, that's what I posted.
"Is Platinum supposed to be hitting on Professor Magnus? That seemed a little…weird to me. I'm far from an expert on the group"
Dude, please. Expert? no. Never even opened one one Metal Men book? Clearly.
Come on now. A very good story, regardless of your mood.
I liked The doom Patrol issue. I loved Morrisons issues more then anything I have ever read in comics . I am also a person who knows how bad it has been after he left and this is a thousand times better then other attemps to recapture the magic. I want it to be a sucsess .
topic 2 as several people pointed it was a running gag that Platina loved Will Magnes who only saw her has a machine . In the sixies Will who was a little sexist siad she had a messed up responsimeater though in the sixties she would never try to have sex with him. even this was a vast improvement over every incarnation since simonson in the seventies that last one even though it was published in hard cover is hard to read and confusing
the metal men and Doom Patrol were weird books but were fun weird I would like to see this book last along time
good day

Ascension is promise of human immortality, Pope tells Sunday audience
Catholic World News - May 21, 2012
At his midday public audience on Sunday, May 20, Pope Benedict XVI spoke about the Ascension, recognizing that the feast of the Ascension is observed on Sunday in many dioceses.
The Ascension, the Pope said, "is the last act of our liberation from the yoke of sin." When Jesus rose into heaven, He completed the work of salvation.
However, by rising Jesus did not distance Himself from mankind, the Pope said. Rather, He drew mankind into intimacy with the Father." The Holy Father cited the words of St. Leo the Great, who said that the feast of the Ascension celebrates "not only the immortality of the should, but also that of the flesh."

Nothing like a bit of superfluous product naming to start the day off right, but maybe it's for good reason,
because the specs on LG's new "Emotional" series of LCD
monitors nearly bring a tear to our eye. With contrast ratios at 1600:1, 4ms response times, and a depth of 0.7-inches,
there's plenty here to get emotional about. The LCDs are a follow up to their LG's premium LX40 series, and they will
offer varying stand and color options, but there's no word on sizes, prices, or availability.

Architectural guru Erwin te Kortschot is back to creating brilliant LEGO skyscrapers. His most recent is a translation of one of the artist Achilles Gildo Rizzoli's drawings, a portrait of Mr. and Mrs. Harold Healy in architectural form. Erwin's interpretation of the sketch into brick form makes a very visually interesting tower.
Tag Archives: Architecture
The City & RG-400
I am sure Andrew can provide some translation as to what is actually going on in these cityscapes by 62778grenouille. But really I think the images can speak for themselves.
Absolutely Beautiful.
EDIT (AB): The photo description in Japanese just notes that the train is a mag-lev, and that the builder used LED light sticks from Ikea for the lighting effects.
Minifig Scale LEGO Hebrew Tabernacle
Simon Pickard (brick.spartan) has made a minifig scale model of the ancient Hebrew mobile tent-temple known as the Tabernacle. Working from the Bible's detailed descriptions of the temple dimensions and contents, Simon makes great use of LEGO's limited palette of gold pieces to create the Ark of the Covenant, altars, and other accoutrements used in the temple.
Gothic SHIP Ahoy
Giving a whole new meaning to "flying buttresses," Awesome O'Saurus provides us with this stunning rendering of a Gothic-architecture inspired space battleship. After seeing dozens of space tankers and flying boxes with striping (which are cool, to be sure), this spaceship is a welcome new style. Already I want to go design my own space-worthy cathedral of doom.
Clad in gold
Yo-Sub Joo created a replica of the world's tallest gold-cladded structure, the 63 Building in Seoul. Staying true to the appearance of the landmark, the builder used chrome gold colored tiles to coat what must have been an expensive creation.
Architectural double-shot
It's time once again for a Saturday exploration into the always fascinating world of architecture. Both of today's selections are from TBB neophyte Erwin te Kortschot (buildingmaster 1966), who has a very small but high quality stable of models on Flickr. We begin today's ruminations with an 1898 Art Nouveau structure and National Heritage Site from Rotterdam, Netherlands called the "Witte Huis". Designed by architect Willem Molenbroek, it is considered the first high-rise of Europe.
Don't blink, because our tour ends as quickly as it began in Oxford, England, with the Radcliffe Camera designed by James Gibbs in the English Palladian style in 1749 to house the Radcliffe Science Library.
If you're a fan of the genre don't miss Erwin's outstanding Aloha Tower from Honolulu Harbor in Hawaii.
Cincinnati Music Hall
Builder Mark Clark let us know via Facebook that he recently displayed his model of National Historic Landmark Cincinnati Music Hall in the venue itself to the delight of its many visitors. The model was constructed to appear as it existed in 1896, in 1/50th scale, with an interior that includes the acoustically acclaimed Springer Auditorium and Corbett tower.
Like many builders who attempt a project of this scale, Mark indicated on one of his photos that it wouldn't have been possible without the support of his family. Kudos Mark, for a an accurate tribute to a fascinating structure.
Take me to 311 South Wacker, and step on it!
Inspired by the collected works of Spencer Rezkalla, TBB newcomer Rocco Buttliere has slowly amassed a fine collection of microscale skyscrapers with a focus on the architecture of Chicago Illinois. For his latest project, Rocco takes on the 961 ft tower at 311 South Wacker in downtown Chicago. According the the builder, "311 was the tallest reinforced concrete building in the world at the time of its completion. It is the seventh tallest building in Chicago, and sixteenth in the US. It is also the tallest building in the world whose address is also its formal title." Considering the limited availability of Medium Dark Flesh colored elements, the building seems all the more impressive. Enjoy today's slice of architectural history.
Summertime in Italy
As part of an event in Ballabio, North of Milan, the Italian LEGO users group ItLUG held a Creator contest, which was won by Dario Minisini (oirad72) with this lovely cottage.
I'm not sure whether the combination of the shape, the red roof-tiles and the white walls triggered it, but when I saw this picture I was immediately reminded of Italy, even before I knew the back-story. Like many Creator sets, its construction may be relatively straightforward, but the colours, the proportions and level of detail make it work.
It is a Corner Cafe, but not as you know it
We don't feature many modular buildings (or Cafe-Corner Compatible buildings, if you prefer) on this blog any more. After a while they all start to look a bit the same. A few weeks ago, however, I attended a Lowlug meeting and saw the very original models by Christiaan de Roo (aloisvonesterhazy), inspired by Amsterdam. My favourite in his collection is a somewhat older model called "Cafe het Hoekje", which is Dutch and translates to Corner Cafe. It is built in the very attractive style typical of many 19th century buildings in city centres in the Netherlands, reminiscent of 17th century Dutch architecture.
One thing I don't like about many modular buildings, including some of the sets, is their overly elaborate decoration in too many or odd colours. I prefer a more restrained look and Christiaan got that just right. There is a variation in the colour of the roof tiles, which adds some extra visual interest, but most of the building is plain brown with white accents. The building also has a full interior with some spectacular tile work on the ground floor. You can enjoy it in all its detail by checking out the full set on flickr.

State warns residents about possible measles exposure
UPDATED 12:24 PM EDT Sep 04, 2013State health officials have issued an alert after two cases of measles were diagnosed during the last two weeks of August at Massachusetts hospitals.
Video TranscriptJACK HARPER WHO GOT AN UPDATE FROM THE OFFICIALS IN JAMAICA PLAINS. WHAT ARE THEY SAYING? THEY'RE SAYING THE TWO HOSPITALS THAT HAD PROBLEMS WERE MASS GENERAL AND GENERAL IN FRAMINGHAM THE LAST TWO WEEKS IN AUGUST. MEASLES, THE SYMPTOMS ARE SIMILAR TO A BAD COLD COULD BE A BAD FEVER, 103, 105 DEGREES. AND A RASH AND PEOPLE WHO HAD IT MAY HAVE BEEN TREATED SOMEPLACE. MAKING SURE IF YOU HAVE THE SYMPTOMS AND YOU MAY HAVE BEEN EXPOSED, DON'T GO TO A CLINIC OR A HOSPITAL. THEY'RE WORRIED ABOUT SPREADING IT. THE FACT IS, MEASLES ARE SO CONTAGIOUS THAT EVEN A SMALL PROPORTION OF THE POPULATION THAT ARE SUSCEPTIBLE TO TRANSMIT MEASLES. SO, WHAT WE WANT TO DO IS MAKE SURE THAT ANYBODY WHO IS IN CONTACT WITH A MEASLES CASE IS BEING AWARE OF THAT. AND DR. DEMARIA SAYS ONLY ABOUT 5% OF THE POPULATION IN MASSACHUSETTS, MAYBE AS HIGH AS 10 IS SUSCEPTIBLE. PEOPLE WHO WERE NOT IMMUNIZED OR GO BEYOND WHERE THEY DON'T WORK ANYMORE. ONE OF THE PROBLEMS IS THE LACK OF IMMUNIZATIONS ELSEWHERE IN THE WORLD. THEY HAD AN OUTBREAK OF MEASLES IN WALES, FOR EXAMPLE, A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE CHOOSING NOT TO BE IMMUNIZED AND DO NOT HAVE THE REQUIREMENTS THE SCHOOLS DO HERE. IF YOU HAVE DOUBTS AND YOU WERE AT THE TWO HOSPITALS, PLEASE CONTACT YOUR LOCAL PHYSICIAN IF
