You want masters of action? Try studying Spirou comics or Asterix or Pierre Alary.
Here's a pencilled action sequence from Belladone:
Animation resources are also great for this sort of thing.
Try telling a story without words, only through actions (not necessarily within Kerao, or even polished up). It's a great exercise.

I agree about watching some action movies. I'm less certain about using things like Poser. That could make your stuff too stiff, if you don't loosen it up.
Scribble! Get the feel for what's occurring first, and then figure out where everything goes. Exaggerate things so the action is clear.
I suck at this too (most of us do), but here are a few moderately respectable sequences (I really need MOAR):

Yeah, I don't know what to make of Poser. It seems like it would be really useful, but it would probably take a while to make the perfect figure even if the program has preset characters, which I'm guessing it does.
After all the character-making though, the comic-making itself would probably go by very quickly and more easily.
Can't speak for others, but for me the character-building is the easy part... downright fun, in fact. I rarely spend more than two hours on anyone, and then they're right there, ready for use any old time.
The time-consuming bit is the posing itself. Getting people to stand, sit, or (gah) move on the computer screen is tricky as all get-out and involves learning a lot of stupid and non-intuitive keyboard/mouse tricks. This is why I get confused when people talk of using Poser simply for help posing. Dude. That's the hardest part!
But it also seems like it takes the skill out of drawing... if all I had to do was trace a character, I would almost feel guilty. Haha.
What it actually does is take the art out of drawing and reduce it to a set of skills that pretty much anyone (given time, patience, and some spare cash) can learn. But you're still lacking art. I can't do some of the really inspired stuff I see other people doing with Poser. I can't just sit down and draw something like an alien race that exists only in my head. I've got the models other people have made and (unless I learn modeling, which is insanely complex and requires Maths) that's it.
You can do some great things with Poser, but the limitations are severe.

Thanks for the tips and links, everyone, going through them now
Wish I had more time to respond more specifically here, but such is life...
Anyway, thanks for all the recommended reading, I will see what I can track down.
Advice on poses is great, thanks for that. I think the major thing I'm struggling with right now is half posing issues and half pacing/framing issues. Having trouble describing it (and it's why I'm taking like, a day to respond to this), but the gist of the issue, I think, is this:
Most comics (even most professional ones) are not good action comics per se; even most which claim to be. The action usually exists to further a plot point. No-one buys Spider-Man because it's got a kick ass fight scene, they buy it to find out what happens to Peter. In an action movie, action
the point, and the stuff that happens in between is largely there to facilitate more action. Problematically (for me, anyway), this means that the emphasis for most of the action comics I've read has been on delivering specific plot points with maximum impact (e.g. a splash page of Captain X delivering a fatal blow to Doctor VonKillenmuder or whatever), rather than trying to convey an action scene which would be interesting on it's own merits. Trying to track down the comics mentioned here which I don't have, but the ones I have seen have not been much different in this regard.
Movies do this well, but it's hard for me to convert a movie into comic form without killing the action. It seems like I can either make things exciting or understandable, but not both at once. It's hard to make a series of frames look like a single, coherent action rather than a series of points.
Anyways, thanks a lot for the help, all!

Kail, I know EXACTLY what you mean.
Comic action scenes are usually 2-4 pages, TOPS, while the whole rest of the book is blah blah blah talking heads.
I too want to see a webcomic with a fuckton of action. Almost borderline too much action. Awesome car chases, wicked fighting, explosive fireballs and torso-ripping pain.
But a major issue with gobs of action is that an audience's eyes tend to glaze over extended visuals without many plot or story points. I've heard quite a few DVD movie commentaries talking about the "mileage" a director can get out of a fight scene or action sequence. Usually, longer scenes confuse an audience or puts them to sleep, so we need to think about the story FIRST and action SECOND.
Well, for what it's worth, I plan to go out with all guns blazing.
Take care

This is very true for me too! Action movies really are a good place to start though! Not because of the AMOUNT of action, but because of the perspectives the director chooses to film, and how things are choreographed. If nothing else, plug in Fearless or something and pause it occasionally. But keep in mind that when reading comics, we FILL IN the spaces between panels. You don't need to show consecutive strikes. If in panel 1 Character A strikes Badguy A, and in panel 2, character A is facing Badguy D, straddling the broken bodies of Badguys A-C, we get what happened, even if you don't draw the in-between.
My single fight scene within the past 2 years consisted of
TWO pages
. Realistic knife fights are over in under 20 seconds. Either someone is dying, or someone is running away. A bunch of action at this point would only have delayed the whole point of the chapter, so it wasn't worth having more fighting anyways.
last action scene
before the fight was ~8 pages long, and was pretty much "action filler." The character had to be running and jumping around trying to follow another character, while have a conversation with a demon in her head.
I find that action sequences in comics that are PURE action should never last more than 2-3 pages. If there's plot going on, stretch that to 6-8. Any longer, especially at a weekly schedule, and you're losing people's attention.

Storyboarding for movies is what we need to look at, since storyboards break the flow of action down into single panels.
Stuff like this:
Just do a google search for storyboards.

Sometimes TWCL is so inspiring.
This thread made me draw this
And then it was 1.00 o'clock and I needed to go to bed
Guess I'll have to finish the fight later
edit: The fighting poses were inspired by pictures found through google image search. Just type in stuff like "Fighting Scene", "Kung Fu" etc.. and you'll find plenty of material for research.
remember: Google is your friend!

Gotta dig the fembot! Maskerman is one tough dude. Good stuff BT!
...Which leads me to sprinkle my worthless sand grain of advice: in action scenes, to give greater impression of movement, make sure the character's center of gravity is off-kilter -- the head shouldn't line up vertically with the groin. No one punches while standing up straight.

[rantin' again]
I am highly skeptical of Poser. Whatever you do, don't, don't, don't expect Poser to be a shortcut around having to learn proper human anatomy. You have to learn this stuff! I have to learn this stuff! It's hard! I know it's hard! Suck it up! Obviously this person (whom I have not heard of before) is a well-qualified professional. She
her anatomy. I refer you to this statement:
the site wrote:
...I don't even BOTHER using the facial expressions much on this though, because I find most of their facial expressions to be stiff and unrealistic..."
See, she knows how to draw and can tell when Poser is gettin' it wrong. Then she fixes it. I realize some people create their entire comics in Poser... erm... to you I would say, you also ought to be using your knowledge of real human anatomy to "fix" things when the algorithms get it wrong. Don't trust your algorithms! Trust your brain! Your brain is better! [/Ranty McRanty-pants]

I have a lot of action sequences in my comic. I think its virtually impossible to get the same visceral thrill from a comic action sequence as one can get from a good movie action sequence, and I dont try for that.
Instead I try to have the action sequence be like a series of problems the hero solves. The ideal problem has a clear danger but not a clear solution. If the hero has a sword fight with the bad guy, there is a clear danger (the bad guy could stab the hero) but also a clear solution (The hero could stab the bad guy.) A better problem would be the hero is tied on a railroad track and a train is coming. There is no clear solution.
I tend to have the problem happen at the end of a comic, and the solution happen in the next. For people reading through the archive, it makes them dwell on the problem a bit before they click on the next comic. For people who read every update it makes for cliff-hangers.
When writing it is often easiest to think of the solutions first and then think of a problem that fits it.
Often there isnt a lot of need for sound in an action sequence, but I try to put some text in most of the panels, often a sound effects or just people shouting Ouch! or Hey! or whatever so the readers wont read through too quickly and perhaps miss something.

Here is one of my action sequences. What you need to know to make sense of it is, the heroine has a tiny magic staff in her pocket. The staff can turn things invisible. It only works on one object at a time, when you make a new object invisible the previous object becomes visible again. The heroine has never used the staff before.

There's a phrase in Cherokee that Dr. J.T. Garrett lives by: Da-ne-la-wea-gah.
"That really is an expression of coming together. I mean true, sincere coming together," Garrett, part Cherokee from the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians and the recently retired director of the Carteret County Health Department, said. "Not just people meeting, but people coming together in heart, mind and spirit."
Garrett retired from his post on Feb. 1 after nearly 17 years. His goal was to bring the community together to improve public health.
"Every day was exciting to me," Garrett said. "I looked forward to every day serving the county."
Garrett's responsibilities ranged from protecting environmental health to disease prevention and preventitive health.
"I'm most proud of the dental program," Garrett said, referencing the mobile dental unit, Miles of Smiles, which has provided thousands of Carteret County children with preventive dental care. "It took a total partnership and community effort to bring that together. That was bringing into the county over a half a million dollars in assets for a dental program and it only serves children - it serves the children in our schools."
Because Carteret County serves as a port authority, as the health department's director Garrett was responsible of ensuring diseases did not reach land from the water from incoming ships.
He also spearheaded a number of public health campaigns such as the importance of vaccines and informing the public about Vibrio vulnificus - bacteria in water which could harm those fishing, swimming or eating oysters.
Garrett said his favorite part of his day as director was giving toy cars and teddy bears to children who came in to get shots.
"Seeing a child who's about ready to cry - I love disease prevention, but it's the memory I love more of giving them the teddy bear or the Hot Wheels car," he said.
Environmental Health Program Specialist/Animal Control Supervisor Curtis Oden Jr. has known Garrett since he came to the health department.
"From the beginning I found Dr. Garrett believed in working for all his employees and that he liked working as a team player," Oden said, noting that Garrett oversaw getting the Health Department to its present building in Morehead City.
Oden said Garrett put a lot of emphasis on disease prevention; he focused on Breast and Cervical Cancer prevention; he was also very involved in senior citizens programs in the community.
Oden also assisted Garrett with overseeing several adults Garrett was appointed by the courts as a guardian.
"He spent a lot of time making sure their personal and physical well-beings were seen to," Oden said.
Oden said he treasures Garrett's leadership and friendship. He said Garrett had an open-door policy, he kept his staff informed, and his theme in the office was always working together as a team.
"He always would listen before he would make a decision," Oden said. "He always talked about working together. If you worked as a team player, you didn't have a problem with Dr. Garrett."
Before working in Carteret County, Garrett served in the Navy, was a commissioned officer in the U.S. Public Health Service, a hospital administrator and Director of Health Care Administration for the Indian Health Service.
Garrett is also a published author, having written seven books related to medicine, spirituality and his Cherokee heritage, whose proceeds benefit the Cherokee Children's Home.
When Garrett announced his retirement to the health department management team, Public Information Officer Mary Fournier said he gathered the whole management team so they could hear it at the same time. He then went around the room, telling each person how much he appreciated him or her, according to Fournier.
A search for a new health director has not started yet, according to department officials.
"Aside from the day to day work at the Health Department, Dr. Garrett also did a lot of public health work (and) community outreach work that took place after hours and outside of the office that few knew about," Fournier said. "He was never one to draw attention to himself."
Garrett said he plans on doing more volunteer work - with health-related activities as well as others - now that he is retired. A National Senior Games discus thrower himself, he said he would like to work with middle and high school kids involved in track and field. He also plans to do health-related consulting and spend more time with his family.
There is no doubt in his mind though: Garrett said he has had a fulfilling career.
"I'm the luckiest guy in North Carolina," he said.

As a national park visitor, you could soon face any number of harrowing realities if national parks continue to be underfunded, according to a report by the National Parks Conservation Association Made in America
America's National Wildlife Refuges encompass more than 150 million acres of plant and animal habitat in over 500 refuges.
A new national survey reveals that sportsmen and sportswomen think protecting public lands, getting kids outdoors and dealing with climate change are just as important as energy production and gun rights.
While the name may not induce shivers of excitement, don't underestimate the amount of fun and rewards to be had on National Public Lands Day, coming this Saturday, Sept. 29.
National Wilderness Month marks a time for considering what wilderness means to us as individuals and as a nation. Ironically, this Wilderness Month comes during one of the most anti-wilderness Congresses in modern history.
This is also a time in which we are experiencing a decrease in connection to our natural heritage -- a loss of grand proportions.
Rest assured that fall can be an excellent season for camping. Our fall camping checklist will help you prepare for exploring wilderness in the cooler months.
Planning a dedicated stargazing trip in wilderness can be fulfilling in its own right – not to mention a unique way to get into wilderness.
If you're spending one of the last summer weekends at a National Park, make sure to pack some party hats.
This unique spot in central California, just east of Soledad, may soon become our nation's newest national park. This summer, the U.S. House of Representatives approved a proposed bill that would change Pinnacles' status from monument to national park.
Tweets about "@wilderness"
President Obama has vowed to urge Congress to designate new wilderness in the Refuge. Encourage him to keep fighting for this threatened land.

Coolinator writes: "I don't follow your point. Are you advocating for retributive justice? Are you pointing out that punishment can be justified even in the absence of free will?"
No, I'm definitely not advocating retributive justice. I was simply suggesting that the environment plays a major roll in who we are and how we decide. I'm also suggesting that if this is true, free will may be an explanatory fiction. I'll try to give a few examples: consider identical twin infants, one of which we'll assign to Chinese parents and the other to Maasai parents. Obviously, one twin will grow up to speak Mandarin and the other will speak Maa. The first twin may embrace Buddhism while the other may be an animist. The first could become a farmer while the second may become a herder—different environments, different lives, different world views. We can take it to a higher level when we say that a parent, mentor, book or experience has changed our lives—that it has sent us down a new path. In actuality this is exactly what has happened; our neural pathways have been altered—we are changed organisms. Now consider, when making a decision, how your experiences throughout life affect the way in which that decision is derived. Inevitably the question becomes "did your life experiences affect your decision or did you decide of your own free will?"
Karl Popper put the question this way: "How can nonphysical things such as purposes, deliberations, plans and decisions play a part in bringing about physical changes in the physical world?" There has to be an agent for change and that agent is the environment working on our neural endowment. Genetically and behaviorally we are the products of our environment. We don't need free will.

Lake Stevens designer: Skip trends when choosing paint
Mark Mulligan / The Herald
Kelly DuByne, of Instinctive Interior Designs, describes color as an easy and inexpensive way to change the way you feel about your home.
Mark Mulligan / The Herald
The hallway leading from Kelly DuByne's front door to her kitchen and living room is a warm orange color, meant to draw visitors to the back of the house.
Mark Mulligan / The Herald
DuByne says art doesn't need to be expensive. Make it personal: your children's art or your own.
Mark Mulligan / The Herald
DuByne repainted a metal cabinet bright red in her home office. She uses it to hold her color samples. Chalkboard paint provides a space for the labels.
DuByne collects various items picked up on the family's travels and displays them in vases (top two photos).
Dark colors are OK, DuByne says, as long as they have warm undertones. Her downstairs bathroom features personal touches like the kids' artwork framed on the walls.
Mark Mulligan / The Herald
DuByne collects various items picked up on the family's travels and displays them in vases.
DuByne is a color expert and an important part of her Lake Stevens-based interior design business is helping clients incorporate it effectively.
"People like color and are open to it, but they are overwhelmed," she said. "They don't make a decision and end up going with neutral or white on their own."
Color is personal, and it affects mood and behavior, DuByne said. There's a reason high-end restaurants might choose deep burgundy in the dining room. The color makes people want to stay, chat and eat-- and perhaps order another bottle of wine.
If you want to lose weight, paint your kitchen blue. There are few foods that are blue and the color tends to curb appetite.
Experts come out with an annual selection of colors that drive what consumer products will look like. That selection is based on a number of factors, including the economy.
One company that generally sets the tone for others is Pantone. Next spring's color is dazzling blue. This year's was emerald.
Trends are just that -- trends, DuByne said. Instead of what's going with what's hot, she urges people to choose colors that make them content.
She also challenges her clients to stretch what colors they might consider. Even colors that make some of her clients initially nervous they inevitably end up liking when they see the results, she said.
Here are a few of her suggestions.
Start with wall color. DuByne asks her clients how they'd like to feel in their homes. Comfortable? Calm? Active? Greens tends to elicit calm. Reds, oranges and yellows with a warm undertone can create a comfortable, welcoming feeling.
Vibrant colors in other parts of the house make you want to get to work. She's done clients' laundry rooms in hot pink and lime green.
The hallway leading from her front door to her kitchen and living room is orange, a warm color meant to draw visitors to the back of the house.
She chose yellow for a north-facing front living room. The color provides some light in a room that gets little natural light.
Color is personal and if you don't like a color, avoid it. At the same time, you might choose a color that you have a warm memory of, for instance, a yellow kitchen.
Don't be afraid to go dark. Many people have heard the advice not to paint a small room a dark color because it will make the room appear smaller. Or they're afraid to go dark because the Northwest is dark already.
It's OK to use dark colors, she said. Her own powder room is an espresso shade. There's no fooling anybody that the room is small and the color feels warm. She's made the room feel welcoming by adding framed photos of her kids' artwork.
Dark colors are OK in the Northwest, too, as long as they have warm undertones. She likes a line at Ace Hardware called Clark & Kensington. Color choices are limited -- which is a good thing for those overwhelmed by the huge color decks -- and the color palettes use warm gray undertones.
Choose a neutral couch. Sometimes people opt to get that pop of color in the living room through furniture. DuByne suggests instead choosing a neutral sofa and letting the color come through in wall color, accessories and other, less expensive pieces of furniture.
A couch is an expensive purchase, one most people have to live with a number of years. Neutral colors for the couch include creams, whites, grays, yellows, greens and black (which is technically not a color).
She likes adding a pop of color with an upholstered arm chair in a fun, colorful fabric. It's fine to not have everything match. Pick a fun pattern.
Think about accessories. Add that pop of color with items that are more easily changed out. It's far easier to swap throw pillows than buy big pieces of furniture.
She likes to fill hurricane vases with personal items for an extra bit of color. Keep the items similar: all beach glass or wine corks or rocks.
She's also a fan of re-using found items. In her own home, she's taken old stained glass windows and hung them on curtain rods. Many people might hang them in the window, but instead she's chosen to use it an unusual way by hanging it on the wall.
That gives some extra pop of color and provides a nice contrast to the wall color.
Add art. Try an arrangement of personal, framed items on the wall. Art doesn't need to be expensive. She frames her kids' art or she makes her own.
Consider painting a piece of furniture. A bright red metal cabinet lights up her personal office. Add a touch of color in any room by painting a second-hand find or something tired you already own.
Add a contrasting color to make things pop. Providing a sharp contrast to a painted wall makes that color stand out. That extra color could be painted trim. It could be something more fixed in the room such as cabinets, tile or countertops.
Get psyched
Color expert Kelly DuByne teaches classes periodically on color and interior design. Her next, "Get Psyched about Color: What Color to Paint Your Rooms and Why," is set for Nov. 14 at the Van Valey House, 2130 Colby Ave., Everett. Register with Everett Parks and Recreation by calling 425-257-8300, ext. 2.

The 1999 Chevrolet Prizm is a twin of the tested vehicle.
The Toyota Corolla and Chevrolet Prizm were redesigned for the 1998 model year.
Measures taken from the head, neck, chest, and right leg indicate low risk of injuries to these body regions in a crash of this severity. Forces on the left tibia indicate that injuries to the lower leg would be possible. Head acceleration from the B-pillar hit was too low to record.
Dummy movement wasn't well controlled. During rebound, the dummy's head leaned leftward, through the open window, and hit the B-pillar. There was too much upward movement of the steering wheel.

Great saddle. riding this type for almost 4 years now (had several on my Heckler & Pivot Mach5.7).
Provides great design for moving on and off the saddle very easily.
The reason i mentioned its durability is since I had a minor fall with my bike and it was slightly hit, but it was damaged like after a real crash :(

Is it a good time to be in agriculture in

He added, "There was a focus on putting agricultural specialists in the
A number of local farms are working with or have worked with AgCarolina Farm Credit, which has an office in
Dave Corum, AgCarolina Farm Credit's president and CEO, said he's noticed a lot of action among lenders who want to take advantage of the situation provided by an exceptionally good 2012. Last year, a drought in the
"Farm Credit's been here for 100 years, and they're wanting to get in, in 2013," Corum said. "But, things are good, and especially up in your area. Our growth in our branch in
Corum said he's optimistic about the future, as farms in the
However, circumstances change from year to year.
"It's really more or less a yearly thing," said Walter Adams, agriculture and natural resources technician with the
He added, "They're getting base premiums, but there's not been a whole lot of interest in putting a lot of money into it. Basically, with the cost of it and everything, you're just breaking even, more or less."
On the ground, opinions are mixed. Large amounts of rain this year made a significant impact on local crops.
"Last year was a pretty good year for everybody," said Kendall Hill of Tull Hill Farms in northern
Hill said farmers planted a large amount of corn because of the 2012 prices, but the sheer quantity of corn hitting the market is driving this year's price down. Also, some of the tobacco is getting out of the fields later than it should.
"Actually, people are really, really behind because of the rain," Hill said. "We had a couple weeks where we couldn't do anything, and tobacco's deteriorating in the field rapidly. When you see all this orange color in the field, that's not good. That means it's getting overripe, and you lose a lot of weight, and the yield from the tobacco is going to be off quite a bit."
He estimates that for 1 acre of land, there's going to be an $800-$900 profit loss in the local tobacco crop.
Warren Hardy, near Seven Springs, said on Aug. 7 it appeared the weather had taken a turn for the better.
"We've had a very mild summer, as far as temperature-wise, but … what we needed was sunshine and less rain," Hardy said. "Of course, it quit raining, and we've had higher temperatures, and the crops look much better."
Hardy said he's unlikely to look for new land or upgrade equipment right now.
"I think as far as our income is going to be down, I'm going to say 30 percent, mainly due to the prices we're getting paid for our crops," Hardy said. "We had historically high prices last year. And, the country as a whole is looking at a good corn crop. Anytime you have a good corn crop, it puts a pressure on prices — they go down. And that's exactly what's happened the past three weeks."

Please consider this week's column a love letter to you, dear reader.
As I brought up a few weeks ago in this space, we've gone through some pretty dramatic changes at the ol' Kinston Daily Free Press lately. For better or worse, more changes are coming — but with your help, I'm hoping it's all for the better.
We will be holding a series of focus groups on Tuesday, June 4 at the Pride of Kinston building on Queen Street and I'd love for you to attend. We're going to be talking about ways to improve this paper you're holding in your hands or reading online. There are three separate groups going to be held that day — from 8-9:30 a.m., from 11:30 a.m.-1 p.m. and from 5:30-7 p.m.
I will be assisting in those meetings and I want you to come to one of the groups. We are going to be talking about a multitude of ways to make your newspaper better, but we need to hear from real people from right here in Lenoir, Greene and Jones counties, not some overpaid newspaper "expert" who doesn't know what the heck our readers want.
As my good friend Richard Clark is fond of saying, "Don't get this twisted;" I know whose newspaper this is. Although Halifax Media Group technically owns The Free Press, it's you, dear reader that pays our salaries, reads our stories and buys our ads.
Please take 90 minutes out of your day on Tuesday, June 4 and meet with us; we'll provide some tasty snacks, some good company and you'll leave with the knowledge you helped make your Free Press a better product. If you'd like to participate, you can reach me by any of the methods listed below.
I look forward to seeing you.
NEWSPAPERS FOR VETERANS: Whilst I have your attention, I have another favor to ask. As you know, one of the great new additions to Kinston and Lenoir County is the new N.C. State Veterans Home. At present, there are about 10 of our nation's heroes living in the beautiful new facility, although officials are anticipating up to 100 moving in within a year or so.
One of the requests that have been made from management of the facility is for newspapers for the veterans to read every morning.
If you'd like to provide newspapers for the veterans, please contact Free Press Circulation Director Jim Register at 252-559-1065 and he'll tell you how you can help. We'll recognize those who help provide newspapers for our veterans in a future edition of the Daily Free Press.
LETTERS TO EDITOR: One final note — I love reading letters to the editor and printing them in The Free Press. I encourage anyone who'd like to write one to please do so.
However, there is a strict 300-word limit for the letters for a reason; in the past two weeks, we've received letters with four or five times that amount of words — even one with 5,222 words! If we printed that letter, it'd eat up more than two and a half pages.
Please write to us … but remember that brevity is better.
Bryan Hanks is the managing editor of The Free Press and his column appears in this space every Sunday. You can reach him at 252-559-1074 or at firstname.lastname@example.com. Follow him on Twitter at BCHanks.

About Ben Taylor
Ben Taylor "Listening" to his audience
You'll have to forgive Ben Taylor if he seems a bit busy these days. He's spent the last year or so crisscrossing the country, promoting his latest album and using his mellow, smooth voice to win over fans one stop at a time.
"Listening" came out in late 2012, but Taylor himself hasn't stopped 'listening' to the reaction. He's heard it in places like the Fairfield Theatre Company's StageOne back in December. The next night, the same reaction from the fans that packed Infinity Hall in Norfolk. And he'll hear it now, in 2014, thousands of miles away.
If you check out Taylor's calendar for the coming month, it includes stops at some popular spots in the Netherlands and Germany. Places like the De Roepaen and the Hedon Small Room, not to mention the Privatclub, Prinz Willy and Blue Shell. Those are just a handful of the venues Taylor is set to play, and he's still filling his set list with the tracks that deal with learning how to hear others.
"Listening" is actually a collection of songs Taylor wrote over half a decade or longer. But another new album, "Clouds in the Dirt," has already been recorded and will likely be released in the first half of this year. Taylor has called it "the album I've always wanted to make… it's really, really good songwriting and none of the songs are distracted by the production."
That description alone should leave fans in anticipation of the project, when 'listening' becomes new all over again.
Ben Taylor looks to carve his own path (Updated January 2, 2013)
Ben Taylor doesn't just have a famous last name, he has the famous last name. The son of legendary musician James Taylor and songstress Carly Simon, there was little question as to Ben's career path, nor to his chosen genre of music.
As much as Ben has worked to distance himself from his legendary father, including stints in acting and an extensive background in martial arts, his true calling always seemed to be music. It's what happens, it seems, when your father is the owner of 40 gold, platinum and multi-platinum albums, along with five Grammy awards. Yet he hardly seemed destined for stardom when his first album, recorded for Sony back in 1999, was never even released. The second, "Famous among the Barns," was also released as a completely independent project.
Ben finally got a foothold in the business with the 2005 album "Another Run Around the Sun," which was heavily acoustic and featured backing vocals by his sister and mother. He would release an EP in 2006 called "Deeper Than Gravity," and an LP in 2008 ("The Legend of Kung Folk"), then spend the next four years recording what would become 2012's "Listening." The album was woven with acoustic and electric guitar over organ and keyboard, and with light percussion Taylor's vocals were finally able to come through.
A true road warrior, Ben already has dates penciled in on his calendar for 2013. He'll hit the east coast in February, starting with a performance at the Songs of Love Foundation in New York City on the 21st and ending with a performance at World Cafe Live at The Queen in Wilmington, Delaware on February 27th.
Ben Taylor Rewards Fans Who've Been 'Listening' With New Album, Tour
The son of folk demi-gods James Taylor and Carly Simon, Ben Taylor proved he was more than just the sum of his parents' genetic parts with 2003's debut, Famous Among the Barns. Now, the singer/songwriter is gearing up for the release of his first studio album in four years, making it a treat for fans…Read more

LEXINGTON, Ky. - After half of the Miami University women's track and field team took part in the Tom Wright Classic Friday in Bowling Green, Ohio, the rest of the RedHawks took to the track Saturday at the Rod McCravy Memorial, hosted by the University of Kentucky at Nutter Fieldhouse.
Facing a large field and tough competition, including competitors from Georgia Tech, Missouri, Ohio State, Louisville, local rival Cincinnati and the host Wildcats, as well as several other schools in the region, Miami placed seven individuals in the top 10 in their respective events, including three in the top five. Four RedHawks also clocked all-time top-10 marks at the meet.
Senior Layne Baggett (Pittsburgh, Pa.) qualified third for the 60m hurdles finals in a personal-best 8.47 seconds, which is the second-fastest time in school history, one one-hundredth of a second shy of the school record. She then finished fourth in the finals, clocking 8.54. Baggett also took 16th in the 60m dash with a time of 7.79.
Miami was well represented in the mile run, capturing three of the top six places. Freshman Laura Bess (Brownsburg, Ind.) led the way in third in a Miami season-best 4:57.71 while junior Erica Howes (Fairfax, Va.) was right behind in fourth in a personal-best 4:58.16, topping her previous best by nearly 10 seconds. Sophomore Elisa Frazier (Williamsville, N.Y.) rounded out the trio in sixth with a season-best time of 5:02.38.
In the 3000m run, sophomore Melissa Girgis (Worthington, Ohio) ran to a seventh-place finish in a personal-best time of 9:48.57, which moves her up to sixth in program history. Classmate Anna Lamb (Granville, Ohio) was three spots back in 10th in 9:54.07, also a personal best, which ranks her eighth all-time at Miami. Fellow sophomore Taylor Wickware (Geneva, Ill.) crossed in ninth in the 800m run in 2:14.86.
Freshman Kala Allen (East Amherst, N.Y.) took 16th in the 200m dash in her first time running the event, recording a time of 24.97, which ranks her sixth in school history and is the fastest 200m time this year by a RedHawk. In the 400m dash, sophomore Charlotte Myers (Bexley, Ohio) claimed 14th with a time of 56.95, running the event for the first time this year.
Allen, Myers and freshmen Kathie Wollney (Cary, Ill.) and Megan Beaver (Brecksville, Ohio) then combined to close the meet by taking ninth in the 4x400m relay in 3:51.53.
After the team was split up this past weekend, with most of the field athletes participating in the Tom Wright Classic, the RedHawks will reunite next weekend as the whole team heads to Akron, Ohio for the Akron Invitational Feb. 1-2.

2013: From surfaces to spaces
The current art exhibition taking place at the Museum Liaunig in Neuhaus/Suha tells of buildings and sculptures and of designed surfaces and formed structures. For the fourth time, the artistically-minded industrialist Herbert Liaunig and his family will be presenting treasures at their private museum, taken from a collection of 3,000 works of contemporary Austrian art dating from 1945 onwards.
- Sculpture
This year, sculptures, paintings and architecture will be on display under the motto of 'From surfaces to spaces'. The who's who of the Austrian sculpting and architecture scene (which has had a significant impact on the 20th century) ranges from Abraham to Gironcoli and Wotruba. The 160 m exhibition space resembles an industrial hall and also features works by students of some prominent pioneers – artists of the following generations such as Manfred Erjautz, Wolfgang Becksteiner, Elmar Trenkwalder with his monumental ceramic sculptures and Peter Dörflinger with his organic-looking works. The show presents an exciting interplay between 'surface and space' and is complemented by picturesque representations of the theme (e.g. by Maria Lassnig, Robert Motherwell, Alfons Schilling, Markus Prachensky and Arnulf Rainer).
- Pure architecture
The small yet refined extra exhibition contains sketches, models and photos by architects such as querkraft, Coop Himmelb(l)au, Hans Hollein, Gustav Peichl, Günther Domenig, Zaha Hadid and Lebbeus Woods and is all about castles in the sky, ivory towers and cabinets of wonder and about projects completed by museum owner Herbert Liaunig and visions of his preferred architecture.
- Protected monument and museum prize
The approx. 200 exhibits in the exhibition are presented in a structure which was awarded the Austrian Museum Prize in 2012 and which has recently been designated as a protected monument. Renovation work to expand the museum will begin at the end of the 2013 season – again under the tried-and-trusted lead of the Vienna architecture bureau 'querkraft'. Following the redesign in 2014 (the museum will be closed during this year), visitors can expect to enjoy an extra 2,500 m2 of space with additional exhibition and event rooms and a museum shop.
'From surfaces to spaces' exhibition, Museum Liaunig in Neuhaus/Suha, www.museumliaunig.at, 1 May to 31 October 2013, Weds to Sun 10:00 – 18:00, advance registration welcome (but not essential); tours in German held at 10:00, 12:00, 14:00, 16:00; also available (after announcement): tours in English, Italian, Slovene; children aged 12 and over are welcome; Tel.: 04356/21 115

Displayed here is the Azonic Flow handlebar: an extra wide handlebar with a larger-than-most rise. Most handlebars with a width of 800mm or more will have a very short rise, possibly around 20-30mm, which works for a lot of people. However, this leaves those people looking for more rise with either a narrower bar or a goofy upward-rise stem. Offered in several brightly anodized colors and constructed of double-butted 7050-T6 aluminum, the Flow handlebar is the ideal bar for those looking for a tall and wide handlebar to guide their rig safely down the mountain!

Comments about Azonic / O'Neal Azonic Flow 800mm 1" Rise Handlebar:
This is a great bar for the price. The 800 mm width is perfect for those of us with longer arms, but can be cut down to any width if needed. It's lightweight and has durable, understated graphics.

Pap smear facts
What is a Pap smear?
A Pap smear (also known as the Pap test) is a medical procedure in which a sample of cells from a woman's cervix (the end of the uterus that extends into the vagina) is collected and spread (smeared) on a microscope slide. The cells are examined under a microscope in order to look for pre-malignant (before-cancer) or malignant (cancer) changes.
A Pap smear is a simple, quick, and relatively painless screening test. Its specificity, which means its ability to avoid classifying a normal smear as abnormal (a "false positive" result), while very good, is not perfect. The sensitivity of a Pap smear, which means its ability to detect every single abnormality, while good, is also not perfect, and some "false negative" results (in which abnormalities are present but not detected by the test) will occur. Thus, a few women develop cervical cancer despite having regular Pap screening.
In the vast majority of cases, a Pap test does identify minor cellular abnormalities before they have had a chance to become malignant and at a point when the condition is most easily treatable. The Pap smear is not intended to detect other forms of cancer such as those of the ovary, vagina, or uterus. Cancer of these organs may be discovered during the course of the gynecologic (pelvic) exam, which usually is done at the same time as the Pap smear.
Who should have a Pap smear?
Reader Stories
Pregnancy does not prevent a woman from having a Pap smear. Pap smears can be safely done during pregnancy.
Pap smear testing is not indicated for women who have had a hysterectomy (with removal of the cervix) for benign conditions. Women who have had a hysterectomy in which the cervix is not removed, called subtotal hysterectomy, should continue screening following the same guidelines as women who have not had a hysterectomy.

The Great Mississippi Bear Hunt: Circa 1902
President Theodore Roosevelt was exhausted from mediating a solution to the strike by the United Mine Workers in the coal fields of America. T.R. was in need of a short vacation and this hunt would produce what Brinkley calls the most popular toy ever manufactured — the Teddy Bear.
He decided to accept a long-stranding invitation to come to Mississippi for the bear-hunting season. He had recently invited Booker T. Washington to a dinner at the White House and some Southerners had vilified him for this invitation. Thus his trip to Mississippi did have somewhat of a political overtone. One of his hosts was Stuyvesant Fish, the president of the Illinois Central Railroad. He wrote to Fish, "My experience is that to try to combine a hunt and a picnic, generally means a poor picnic and always a spoiled hunt. Every additional man on a hunt tends to hurt it. Of course I am only going because I want to hunt and do see I get the first bear without fail." Little did he know how he would be presented the first black bear of their hunt.

Sort By :
"Not great. Needs to be more saucy & cheesy"
"Added some additional cheese in the mixture as well and added additional Greek seasoning on top. Easy, quick and inexpensive. I divided into two baking dishes and froze one for another night."
"Quick and easy to make and absolutely delicious. My family absolutely loved it! There was plenty to go around. I added a little salt and pepper, otherwise it was perfect!"
"I really liked this recipe. It was quick and easy to make. I'm a vegetarian so I cut out the chicken and I hate olives so I left those out also. I added more cheese too :) I think next time I may try it with some beans in place of the chicken. I liked the texture of the onion and pepper in the casserole too."

"Just wanted to drop you a quick line to let you know that I very much enjoy Ancient Faith Radio and have it on in my office. I am a Roman Catholic priest in Little Rock, Arkansas, and as we have few Orthodox and East Rite Catholics here, I do enjoy listening to the prayers and liturgy from Ancient Faith. Thank you."
