Judging comics by their covers because its an easy target and I am too lazy to be nuanced.
Notes and Nitpicks-
Nova – Okay first off this is not a bad cover. I simply thought it was interesting to note that the main Marvel Universe is bringing in the Chitauri from the Avengers Movie… with their very Egyptian aesthetic I really hope they wind up serving Kang. Also do me a favor everyone… yes I mentioned Nova but please don't take that as a cue to bitch about Sam and how much you miss Richard… He is dead. Let it go. Move on.
Avengers: The Enemy Within: Okay I love that DeConnick's series are colliding here… but seriously if this is a lead-in for a Captain Marvel cancellation I am going to SCREAM. Okay the nitpick here is Carol's hair…. I do not understand what artist's problem is with her new haircut, she got it cropped on the sides and has the top slicked back. It looks good, it's a unique hairstyle that only she has… however so many people who draw just flat out cannot draw her without flowing long locks! They can do her costume right, but god forbid they draw a woman with a non-traditional hairstyle!!
Wolverine Max: Nope. Wolverine has lost the privilege to have covers that just slash marks… it is the bare minimum of what you can do for his covers. Shame on you.
Winter Soldier: Aww, man I forgot to delete the lines I had before I decided to draw her with a hood! Okay lets just delete those… oh shit that made them white… meh whatever. PRINT!
Five Worst Covers
Uncanny Avengers: Oh no! An evil, airbender is spewing out poorly illustrated Avengers! RUN FOR COVER! Also, Sunfire? Your mask is bad… it is worst than the entirety of Avengers vs X-Men. That bad.
Captain America: I am in the minority of people that actually enjoys Jon Romita Jr's art most of the time. But this cover blows. Cap's shield is TINY… and well everything's proportion looks really damn off. While I wouldn't call it lazy as there is definite effort in this cover… I would say that effort was misplaced.
Iron Man: This is, I believe, a reprint of an older cover for a collection of older comics. That said.. I still hate it. From invisible bike Iron Man on the right to pissed of center Iron Man who is upset because someone drew squigglies on his face. This cover has all these armors just slapped on here in a random pose and its just lazy and uninteresting.
Captain Universe: The Hero That Could Be You: Another reprinting.Yes, I realize that I am putting a Steve Ditko drawn cover on my list and that means I am going to comic-reader hell where I only get to read All Star Batman and Robin for the rest of eternity. Seriously though? I don't care, I really dislike this cover… a LOT.
Wolverine and the X-Men: I despise this artist.. DESPISE. I fell in love with this series when Bachalo was the artist and then when they switched to this guy… it felt like the biggest bait and switch. From the horrifically drawn New Beast in his weird float-y ass, awkward pose. To the second cover shown where not a single person's face looks remotely human. Seriously! The best you have there is Quentin.. but I have no idea what is going on with Evan, who started out with a clean cut quarterback look, then moved onto a Gerard Way look-a-like, and now he just looks like Seance smeared his lipstick. Oh and fucking Wolverine.. did he suffer brain damage or something? He doesn't look like he is drooling from being feral… he looks like he has suffered muscle damage… its like if Wolverine had a baby with Arseface from Preacher… shudder
Ten Best Covers
Deadpool: This is a great, actually understated Deadpool cover. The underwater shark sequence is beautifully conceived and brought to life… and then you just have Wade there pointing and going Oh Shit… Also they resisted the urge to throw in a dialogue baloon with him quipping… very restrained for Deadpool and it really works well.
Guardians of the Galaxy: ROCKET FUCKING RACOON! This is a really beautifully drawn piece, however I can't help but think this cover got made just because Marvel thought they needed an image to update Rocket's wiki with… and I am cool with that.
Avengers: The Anime nerd in me just adores this cover. I am also quickly becoming a Shang-Chi fan so its great seeing an issue dedicated to him. But the japan-influenced cover is really clever, with the speed-lines as the background and all the tropes they playing with here. It is just really damn clever… however I have to say that it was Sailor Spider-Woman that sealed this cover onto my list.
Daredevil: End of Days: The Rising Son iconography gets played to death on comic covers(hell its where Bloodshot's whole design comes from… However I think this works really well. Matt looks very strong yet subtly in his design and I adore the writer's signature done in a kanji-like aesthetic. Really cool piece.
Thunderbolts: Ah, Thunderbolts.. I will never stop hating you for your squandered potential and nothing shows that as much as your covers. This series has great dynamic covers with really strong use of the color red that could have given this series an iconic look… however this is probably going to be the first thing to hit the NOW! chopping block. Still its a good cover however it may actually still be too red for my tastes… still it is a damn good cover.
Fearless Defenders: This series has had great covers so far. The first issue was the simplest but then with issue 2 having the action figure cover and 3 having the title tattoed on Hippolyta's back? Awesome. The paper doll Valkyrie is also just a stunner… my only disappointment is that I can't actually cut the pieces out without ruining the book… BTW Marvel? if you don't do paper doll variants of the rest of the team, then you are just throwing money away.
Age of Ultron: HOLY SHIT ITS ULTRON! This is so damn awesome. Seriously this is now tied for my favorite Ultron image along with his iconic Annihilation cover. You really get the menace from him and can tell what a threat he is from a single image… My only problem is that the piece may be too busy with the lightning and the lighting and all the damn debris… so yes, its a busy illustration, but damnit, its one that works!
Thor: God of Thunder: Forgive them Odin, they knows not what they do! Okay, this series is just gorgeous and every cover looks like it belongs on a metal album, which is kind of the perfect thing for Thor's series. Gorr is dripping menace in the background and Thor looks absolutely stunning… and also like he is super dead.
X-Men: Legacy: I love this series so hard. It is hands down the biggest surprise from Marvel NOW! and its covers are always a treat. Well thought out, cleverly design, and beautifully rendered. This cover made laugh and and I am going to be super pissed off if the covers for this series aren't collected in the trade.
The Superior Spider-Man: Holy shit do I love this covers. The first one is great, using the title as a maze and anyone reading the series knows exactly what is signified by the cover and will want to pick it up… The second cover… is my favorite spider-man drawing ever. Just hand's down. I can't even explain it but the colors work beautifully and the line work is immaculate. Everything just comes together with that something extra that makes you want to get a cover turned into a poster. Also I love the title there, it looks great and helps tie the whole thing together as opposed to being obtrusive… I seriously hate that this artwork will be marred by credentials and pricing when it hits stores. My personal favorite Marvel cover of May.
Hope you enjoyed and see you next month!

Merle Haggard plays specifically in the genre of country music. He has been a prominent member of the outlaw music or outlaw movement as many call it. It was started in 70's as the movement against the more polished Nashville sound which was gaining popularity at that time. Haggard and his colleagues defined Bakersfield sound which was more original to the country music. It is famous for its exclusive twang of fender telecast guitars, vocal synchronizations and a more rough edge. He has also been inducted in the Oklahoma Music Hall of Fame for his song "Okie from Muskegee" in 1997. He has been releasing successful albums all through his career.
Merle Haggard was born in 1937 in Oildale, California. His parents moved to California from Oklahoma at the time of the great depression during which many families moved to California. Haggard's father died when he was only nine years old. He supported his family after that with any means of income. He was caught for theft and shoplifting three times. He also used to perform in the bar and work other odd jobs. After he was released from the Juvenile detention center for the fourth time, Lefty Frizzle heard him and offered him to perform in a concert. Eventually Haggard chose singing as his career. But again he was caught robbing a tavern and was sent to the prison. During his time in prison, he learnt to live life honestly and decided to lead a normal life
. This time when he came out of prison he was a different man. He obtained a diploma and performed with the prison's band.
The career of Merle Haggard started off with his song "Skid Row" in 1962 and he gave his first hit in 1964 with "Sing a sad song". In 1968, his song "I'm a lonesome fugitive" was a major success. It is still his most popular song with the audience. After that he gave one hit after another. The president Ronald Reagan pardoned him of all his crimes. Merle has become a legend in the country music. He has influenced country music greatly. Many new singers have paid tribute to him in their songs. His name is mentioned in many songs. His music has a hard edge to it which is liked by many country music lovers. Toby Keith has stated that merle has a major influence in his career. Nick Gravenites has sung "I'll change your flat tire Merle", while the Dixie Chicks has sung "Now they sound tired, but they don't sound like Haggard". His influence is seen also in the song "My kind of a girl" by Collin Raye.
The concerts of Merle Haggard are a class apart. He performs according to his mood or whatever his audience wants him to sing. There is no prior playlist of any sort. In 2000, he made a sort of comeback in the music industry. His comeback song "Mama Tired" received critical acclaim. Several of his songs have also appeared in movies. He has appeared on different television shows. His appearance in 'Larry King Live!' was a memorable one. His most recent album is "I am what I am" released in 2010. It has been critically appreciated and loved by his fans. He has won numerous awards throughout his career. He is a proud recipient of Grammy Awards thrice in his career (1984, 1998 and 1999).

The University of Texas filed a 55-page brief with the Supreme Court this week, clarifying how race factors in to its admissions process. The filing is a direct response to a lawsuit challenging the university's admissions policy. The case, Fisher v. University of Texas at Austin is one of the biggest on the court's docket next year. In 2008, high school senior Abigail Fisher, a white student from Sugar Land, sued UT after she was denied admission to the incoming freshman class. She maintained that less qualified minority candidates were admitted ahead of her.
Here's what you need to know about the case and UT's admissions policies ahead of the oral arguments, which are slated for October 10.
A brief history of UT's admissions policy
In their brief, UT's lawyers give the Court a granular look at the university's admissions policies over time. The bulk of UT's applicants (sixty to eighty percent) are admitted through the top ten percent law, enacted by the state legislature in 1997 in response to the Hopwood v. Texas case in which the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals barred the university from using affirmative action in admissions. From 1998 to 2004, the remaining places in the incoming freshman class were selected using a "full-file review" process that "considered numerous individual characteristics (but not race.)"
But in 2003, the Supreme Court ruled in Grutter v. Bollinger that the University of Michigan Law School had a "compelling interest" in having a diverse student body, effectively overturning Hopwood v. Texas. In response to Grutter, UT tweaked its admission policy in 2004 to "allow for the consideration of race in the context of the holistic review already conducted for students not admitted under the top 10% law." Under this new policy, race is considered as one of many factors and is not "assigned any independent weight" and the school does not maintain "a quota or target for any racial group."
So, how are candidates outside of the top ten percent selected today?
UT's conducts a "holistic review" of every application in which candidates are assigned an "academic index" score or PA (consisting of class rank and SAT scores) and a "Personal Achievement Index" score or PAI (based on two essays scored on a race-blind basis and a "Personal Achievement Score," or PAS. The PAS is where race is taken into account:
The PAS score ranges from 1 to 6 as well, and is based on holistic consideration of six equally-weighted factors: leadership potential, extracurricular activities, honors and awards, work experience, community service, and special circumstances. The "special circumstances" factor is broken down into seven attributes, including socioeconomic considerations, and—as of 2005—an applicant's race. Race is one of seven components of a single factor in the PAS score, which comprises one third of the PAI, which is one of two numerical values (PAI and AI) that places a student on the admissions grid, from which students are admitted race-blind in groups. In other words, race is "a factor of a factor of a factor of a factor" in UT's holistic review.
Once the school has both a AI and a PAI score for an applicant, the two points are plotted on a matrix. Admissions officers then "draw a stair-step line on the matrix, dividing the cells of applicants who will be admitted from those that will be denied. For each cell, admission is an all-or-nothing proposition: all the applicants within a cell are either admitted or denied."
UT maintains that this "modest consideration of race" is fair and backed up by the Court's decision in Grutter. The Court, UT's lawyers argue, has "recognized that universities have a compelling interest in promoting student body diversity, and that a university may consider the race of applicants in an individualized and modest manner— such that race is just one of many characteristics that form the mosaic presented by an applicant's file."
What is UT hoping to accomplish?
Here's how the brief explains UT's goal:
Each year, UT strives to assemble a class that is exceptionally talented and well-prepared for UT's rigorous academic environment. It is also a "'major priority'" that each class be well-rounded and diverse. UT has a "broad vision of diversity," which looks to a wide variety of individual characteristics—including "an applicant's culture; language; family; educational, geographic, and socioeconomic background; work, volunteer, or internship experiences; leadership experiences"; special artistic or other talents, as well as race and ethnicity. UT has set—and seeks to meet—"a 'high standard for diversity.'"
A diverse student body is "indispensable" to UT's mission to educate and train the future leaders of Texas and America. UT has learned through experience that diversity has invaluable educational benefits. These benefits include, but are not limited to, promoting cross-racial understanding; breaking down racial, ethnic, and geographic stereotypes; and creating an environment where students do not feel like spokespersons for their race. Diversity improves academic outcomes and better prepares students to become the next generation of leaders in an increasingly diverse society.
What does Abigail Fisher argue?
Abigail Fisher, who did not fall into the top ten percent of her high school class at Sugar Land's Austin High School, applied to enter UT's Fall 2008 class with a 1180 out of 1600 SAT score and a cumulative 3.59 GPA. The crux of Fisher's lawsuit? According to the New Yorker's Jeffrey Toobin, it is "based on a claim that any consideration of race by a university in admissions violates the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment." Fisher's lawyers also argue that UT's top 10 percent rule creates enough diversity in the incoming class.
Fisher was denied entry into the school's Fall 2008 class as well as a summer program that allows gives provisional admission to some of those who did not make it into the fall class. The brief notes that "168 African-American and Hispanic applicants in this pool who had combined AI/PAI scores identical to or higher than petitioner's were denied admission to the summer program." Fisher was

Woods makes short work at Torrey Pines
Updated: January 29, 2013, 3:52 AM ETAssociated Press
SAN DIEGO -- Tiger Woods never looked so irritated winning a golf tournament so comfortably.
His record eighth victory at Torrey Pines was all but over when Woods ripped a 5-iron from 244 yards over the corner of a bunker and onto the green at the par-5 13th hole, setting up a two-putt birdie that gave him an eight shot lead in the Farmers Insurance Open.
At least he had plenty of time to savor this victory. The final five holes felt like they took forever.
Woods twirled his ...

"Bellavista' is one of the apartments of the Residence 'Da Concettina', all provided with the same comforts and furnished with taste and elegance, situated in a privileged position, in the charming ledge of Taormina Mare, a few thousand meters from the famous beach of Isolabella.
'Bellavista' is a lovely apartment of about 55 square metres, on the third floor of a Residence close to the sea where you can enjoy a spectacular view due to a wide glass door of about 4 meters.
The apartment is composed of a bedroom, a bathroom and a living-room with kitchen. It can accommodate from 2 to 4 people.
The bedroom has a double bed with high quality matress and a spacious wardrobe box, the bathroom has shower, washing-machine and hairdryer.
The living-room is very wide and bright with a high quality sofa-bed, a modern kitchen, well organized and equipped for all of your needs, with gas-stove, fridge, freezer and oven.
Each room has programmable air conditioning and heating with remote control
Breathtaking view: 'Bellavista' is a nice flat on the third floor of a house situated beachfront. Particularly recommended to all the holidaymakers who want to enjoy the sea and the beautiful views of the Bay of Taormina. Due to the bay window you can admire a gorgeous scenery, whatever the weather, whatever is the season of the year. The beach front is free, but you can reach private beach establishments walking only a few meters. Recently renovated, the flat has furnishings in style with the summer colours and has all the necessary comforts.
Our guests early in the morning love walking along the seaside, keeping their hands interlocked; later in the afternoon they come back home to enjoy the sunset, where the moon in an amazing picture show seems to be born from the sea, with its rainbow colours.
This is just a short description, wouldn't you love the opportunity to enjoy it?
Nearby activities: Here the beaches are full from March to October. The winter is still the season of the isolated travelers, which can go on holiday whenever they like. The seaside is perfect to go for a walk, breathing pure air and hearing the sound of the waves. Daily you can meet fishermen, who catch local fish that can be bought and cooked to have a healthy genuine dinner. We recommend the sunrise early in the morning: the yellow orange and violet sun in the horizon. As to spend some time at night under the stars.
Suitable for family-children, at a few steps there is a playground. The most important attraction to visit here is the enchanting village of Taormina, where there is the Greek Theater, to enjoy the spectacle of the sunset. To go up to Taormina a bus stop is available at just 50 meters. To reach other interesting little towns and famous historical Sicilian cities you can bring the coach at 100 meters or the train at 300 meters.
Other interests: The territory of Taormina boasts an extraordinary heritage of archaeological finds and architectural masterpieces. There are many themes, and if you follow them, you'll discover a variety of treasures which few other regions in the world are able to offer.
All the small surrounding towns are individual places to discover, each one with something of special, like the Castel in Sant'Alessio, the mummies in Savoca...
If you like the mountain, just driving 30 minutes you will reach the Etna Park, crossed by lots of different paths, starting with the Nature Trails.
Hello! My name is Kristina and I live in Taormina Mare Mazzeo, a wonderful place very close to the sea that can be defined as heaven on Earth.
I run the Residence with Pinuccio, my boyfriend, and Pinuccio's mother, Concettina. This kind of business gives us the opportunity to know holidaymakers from all over the world and share with them different way of living.
We have built the Residence in 2005, it is composed of two new buildings of three elevations each, that we organized and furnished with taste and elegance. The aim is that holidaymakers can really feel at home, in a clean and familiar environment.
Our elegant Residence offers one of the best solutions for spending pleasant and relaxing holidays in search of sea, art and culture in famous Taormina.
Kristina purchased this apartment in 2005
In the accommodations, we provide all you need for the stay, so you can travel light.
Once here if you need anything we are at your service for the full time of your stay!
In the areas surrounding us, you can find all you need, from restaurant to pizzeria that provide delicious meals at reasonable prices, snack-bars on the beach, to admire the sea and the clear water.
The properties are at a few steps from the fabulous beach of Taormina Mare and there you can enjoy the sun from March to October.
The geographical position enables you to visit all the Sicily in a very few time. Just 20/30 minutes and you can visit the surrounding valleys (Alkantara, Nisi, Agrò). A little bit more time, driving by highway, you can organize trips on the majestic Etna volcano or in the historical Sicilian towns such as Siracusa, Agrigento, Noto, Enna, Modica, Palermo, Cefalù.
we have just returned from a fantastic trip which was made only better by the wonderful accommodation and advice provided by Pinuccio and Kristina.
Mazzeo is the perfect destination for visiting Taormina, it is just a short bus journey to the center of Taormina and the bus stop which is located just outside the door of Da Concettina. Mazzeo itself is a beautiful town which has plenty of restaurants, bars, butchers, bakers, the fruit and veg man goes by the apartment every morning.
We had a 1 bedroom apt with views from our balcony of the beach and of Taormina. The apartment has everything you would need and is spotlessly clean.
I would highly recommend Da Cocettina to anyone! it really is an excellent place!
First the positives: The apartment was clean, spacious, had great sliding doors to the balcony, and an excellent view of the beach, which is directly across the street from the apartment. The cable TV had programming in many languages, though English broadcasting was limited to news programs (needs a channel guide). The neighborhood is excellent with a pedestrian walkway overlooking the beach, many restaurants in easy walking distance. There is also a small market, meat shop, farmacia and bancomat ATM within about 200 meters of the residence. It does not have a lot of tourist souvineer shops, but who needs them. By my standards the beach was okay. It is a gravel beach so unless you have tough feet, bring water shoes. Cleanliness was okay but not great. It does not have much wave action, almost more like a big lake,, so swimming is nice, especially in the morning, but no surf. September is clearly the end of their season and a few restaurants were already closed for the year before we left. The location is good with a bus within 50 yards to go to Taormina (don't drive there!), easy to find by car, and easy access to the coastal highway and Autostrada for trips around the region. Negatives: The apartment was on the third floor, no elevator. Beds, linens, and furniture were uncomfortable by American standards. This problem appears to be a constant throughout Italy, so I would rate this apartment as average for comfort. We were very disappointed that the owner did not provide any condiments or cleaning supplies other than a bucket, dirty broom and dust pan, and questionable looking sponge. This did not meet our standards for week long apartment rentals, though the owner insisted it was normal. Good support to guests should include clean sponges, hand and dish soap, salt, pepper and sugar, preferable a bit of cooking oil, so that we did not have to buy everything from the market in quantities that we would never use. Maybe we are spoiled, but that is what we have been given at other international rentals in Italy and Mexico. The cooking pots were also very poor quality. The apartment also had an electrical outage when we arrived (resolved an hour later) and a brief water outage (short but inconvenient with the washing machine going.)
Overall I would rate location as excellent and the apartment good so long as you are aware of the negatives and prepared to bring or buy all your supplies.
We spent the first 2 weeks of April in this apartment and everything was great. The apartment is spotless and there was a new fridge/freezer, a new mattress, new patio furniture, new couch and new paint on the walls. The owners, Kristina and Pinuccio take excellent care of their property and are always available to answer any questions. The apartment looks exactly like the pictures and is very spacious and comfortable. There are many restaurants close by as well as shops to buy groceries. Ciao Ciao Pizzeria makes the most wonderful pasta with sardines, a typical Sicilian dish. The internet point is a 10 min walk away and a fitness center is 15 min up the cliffs in the Olimpio Hotel. We were fortunate enough to have had perfect weather for 2 weeks and enjoyed our morning coffee on the balcony with the early morning sun and fantastic views. Letojanni is within easy driving distance to many attractions on the East coast of Sicily. We would definitely recommend this apartment to anyone wanting to enjoy Sicily in a small town setting. Thank you Fufu and Pinuccio for a wonderful visit, it was a pleasure meeting you and we hope to be back one day.
This apartment was clean and spacious, and had an amazing view and great location! The bus to Taormina was steps from the apartment and came every half hour. The Letojanni train station is only a few blocks away. The beach is right in front and quaint little beach restaurants are all within walking distance. Pinuccio and Kristina were very friendly and very helpful. I will definitely recommend this apartment and will definitely come back to stay!
Just returned from a wonderfull vacation in Sicily. The last 5 days we did stay at the appartment "Stromboli" and our host Pinuccio and hostes Fufu were just great.
The appartment is very nice and well equiped, also very quited. From Mazzeo is it very easy to visit Taormina, one can take the bus just around the corner.
Even the Mont Etna is nearby. Next to Mazzeo lies Lettojanni were you can find good restaurants en shop for everything you needs.
Also Giardini Naxos is very nice to visit. In a word we recommed the appartment to our family and friends, and hoping that we can come back next year and stay a little bit longer.
The apartment 'Bellavista' is situated in a privileged position, on the third floor of a house in front of the beach.
From the balcony you can enjoy a wonderful panorama, from Cape Sant'Alessio to Cape Mazzarò, including the Bay of Taormina. Early in the morning the sunset is a spectacular view, looking at the multicolored sun which grows up from the horizon.
If you love the sea, you can walk on the beach and swim into the clear water to your hearts content.
Our small town, Mazzeo is part of Taormina. Here you can enjoy a quiet stay, close to the sea and not far from the center of Taormina. This enchanting village can be reached easily by public transport available all day long till late at night is peak season.
From here you can also get to other important historic cities and small towns, very interesting to visit.
For those who want to head for the hills there are a lot of walking routes around the mount Etna.
Don't miss a holiday here, we assure you that you will have an unforgettable experience.

Commerce Township, Michigan - More than a hundred competitors gathered on the tall grass and rolling berms of the Multi-Lakes Conservation Association in lower Michigan this month. Law Enforcement all, they arrived from as far as away Oklahoma and Virginia to take part in the 2014 National Patrol Rifle Championships. Talking and laughing while waiting to drop off their entry forms, each stopped at the whitewashed registration building window as equals. That would not last long.
The goal was clear; beneath the unseasonable searing Michigan sun, battle back the heat, the exhaustion, and the frustration to stay on target.

Fairfax, Virginia - Everyday, the men and women across America patrol the streets looking for the bad guy. Striving with every step to protect to public from the dangers which lurks around every corner. While undertaking such a monumental task, these men and women head onto the streets with a few basic tools — a pistol, a shotgun, a rifle and their wit.
Realist realize that they can't spend every day on patrol. And when they aren't on the streets, odds are they are training. Something as simple as drawing their firearm, dry firing, or practicing the latest takedown techniques. Or, as was the case last weekend here in Fairfax, taking part in an NRA Tactical Police Competition.

Commerce Township, Michigan - As the sun begins to set over fields and lakes of Michigan proper, competitors in the National Patrol Rifle Championships are packing up their rifles, stocking up their gear and making way for the Suburban Collection Showplace Convention Center. By sundown all will have returned to conference headquarters for the Annual Awards Ceremony Banquet.
Headlined by former Secret Service Agent turned author and commentator Dan Bongino, the banquet promises to eventually give way to the awards. Recognition of those who drudged through the courses, ignored the elements and eventually found a spot at the top of the leaderboard. Not as easy as it sounds.

Commerce Township, Michigan - In November of 2013, members of the Bernalillo County Sheriff's Department came under attack. The life of one officer was saved thanks to a simple device — a tourniquet. The fourth police officer shot in the attack, her comrades gave aid (saving her life) and returned fire.

Commerce Township, Michigan - Law Enforcement agents and officers from around the country came together this morning at the Multi-Lakes Conservation Association for the opening of the 2014 National Patrol Rifle Competition. Five courses of fire concentrating on, what else, the patrol rifle.
"We're expecting somewhere between 100 and 150 competitors to run through the match today," said competition Chairman Jeff Felts. "It's going to be a good year."

Fairfax, Virginia -
Under the dark and dingy drizzle-threating skies of Fairfax County arrived a select group of individuals. Men and women who wake every morning with you in mind. Men and women who strap on a gun, pin on a badge, and head out to protect and serve. Today they exercise that duty through another form; competition.
Here for the NRA's 2014 Fairfax Tactical Police Competition are deputies, sheriffs, constables and agents from around the national's capital. All putting their skills to the test in a race against time and accuracy.
"It might sound like fun, but it's a lot of work," explained Law Enforcement Competition Manager Marc Lipp. "Some people will not go home happy."

Novi, Michigan - In less than a week, almost 200 competitors from across the nation will gather at Multi-Lakes Conservation Association for the 2014 National Patrol Rifle Competition. While the competition promises to unleash the same rugged courses of fire as before, there is a new element to the mix — the NRA.

Albuquerque, New Mexico - Standing approximately five feet six inches tall with a touch of gray scattered about his the black matted coiffure, you probably wouldn't think that Arlo Arcinas as a federal agent just by looking at him. He doesn't exactly fit the physical stereotype. But that's one of the things that makes him such a valuable asset. That and the skills that earned him a spot on the ICE National Pistol Team. He's been there so long, he was on the team before there even was an ICE.

Fairfax, Virginia - You've all heard the phrase; traffic stop gone bad. A simple speeding or failure to signal stop can turn a law enforcement officer's good instincts into a potentially tragic event. What happens next can mean the difference between life and death.

Thanks to jay Harper and his safe makeup I have started wearing it again. The z palette is amazing. I purchased champagne, pixie dust, buttercream and graphite. Beautiful colors but too light. Next time I will order dark colors. It goes on smooth and comes off with regular face soap. They are amazing. I can't say enough about apple products!!
Posted by Liz on 10th Jul 2014
I purchased the Z Palette and two shadows to start. (I have so little shadows you know!) HAHA The shades are beautiful and the texture is gorgeous satiny with a silky finish! I just love them. I started with Buttercream and Like U Latte. They were perfect for my everyday needs. I urge anyone searching for a great eye shadow that doesn't irritate your eyes to try these. I usually end my day with itchy, watery eyes when I apply shadow and mascara; not with these! I forgot that I had a full-face of makeup on when I first tried these. I LOVE THEM and will be Filling my palette! Get one or two to try! You will be happy with them. Wet/Dry they are lovely!
Posted by Lynne Wagner on 20th Jun 2014
I am relatively new to RAL -- I had just ordered my first products and started using them when the summer palette was introduced. The lip products were so phenomenal, I knew that shedding my make-up "stash" of unhealthy eye colors and switching to RAL products was just not that big a leap. I am so glad I did. The colors are beautiful. The application is silky smooth, and even without all the garbage that Big Cosmo puts into their products, has remarkable staying power. The best part? No burning or itching or DH reaction!! I really appreciate the difference that wet vs. dry application makes -- definitely gives a more striking look for evening. Absolutely wonderful. I would recommend it to anyone -- and I do -- frequently. Thanks Jay and Andrea!
Posted by Janet on 16th Jun 2014
I have only used them twice, but so far I'm impressed with how far just a little bit goes, which justifies the price, and there doesn't seem to be any smugdiness, even in the FL heat and humidity. It's the only reason I didn't give 5 starts, b/c I'm still new to it...but have a feeling I'd buy again!
Posted by Sylvia Lombera on 19th May 2014
I have 8 eyeshadows and I love them all. No allergenic reactions or itchy eyes. They all make my eyes stand out and look pretty. They work great for eyeliner too. I am obsessed with them and plan on buying more. Thank you Red Apple Lipstick you guys rock!
Posted by Patrice on 15th Apr 2014
I bought a custom eyeshadow palette and I love all the colors I picked. It's nice to have eyeshadow that doesn't cause any gluten reaction on my skin! The espresso color works great as an eyeliner too. The only thing that would make this better would be a mirror in the eye shadow palette for close-up and on the go.
Thank you!
Posted by Melissa on 12th Mar 2014
I have barely worn eye make up for the past few years, knowing any time that I did I would have to be prepared for the consequences of allergy eye that would surely follow. Now that I have found RAL products I can wear beautiful makeup that does not irritate my sensitive eyes. I love the eye liner in black as well as the create your own pallet eye shadow. I can not wait for the mascara to come out!
Posted by email@example.com on 12th Mar 2014
Love the colors and textures. I find they are natural but not do not stay on long. Could use more pigments.
Good for a day time look. Looking for more drama try shimmer with pencil
Posted by Heather on 4th Mar 2014
The eyeshadow is amazing, it goes on so easily and lasts all day long. I prefer makeup that can be applied in less than a minute, and these eyeshadows blend so well it literally takes me seconds and I'm done.
Posted by Sharon on 28th Feb 2014
I'm a return customer. I purchased lipsticks and eye shadows before and love everything.
This purchase was to "branch out" from my usual brown eye-shadow and buy color! Before swigging to RAL, I find I could only wear browns since I reacted to purples, greens, blues and other colors. My eyes would scream for days if I wore makeup with any other pigment.
This time, I bought a 9 color palette. Pinks, purples, grays and "dirty girl". I love the true colors and the insane blend-ability!! The eye shadows last a long time, too! They aren't gone in weeks like drugstore brands or even like the expensive brands I used before. More importantly, I can wear those beautiful, adventurous colors again without my eyes watering and waking up with them swollen and red the next day!
Thank you Jay and Andrea. I love your products and am a proud loyal customer!

Agriculture Minister Kanna Lakshminarayana has said the government would organise awareness programmes on SC/ST Sub-Plan which was given statutory status recently, from April 5 to 14. The Government is seriously committed to implementing the Sub-Plan, he asserted. Speaking to mediapersons here on Monday, Mr. Lakshminarayana said `Kala Jathas¡¯ would be taken out as part of the awareness programmes. The objective is to acquaint beneficiaries with the SC/ST Sub-Plan so that they would benefit from it.
The demand for giving legal status to the Sub-Plans was made by the Planning Commission and National Development Council (NDC) and Andhra Pradesh became the first State to do that.

Today most physicians, dentists, accountants and other professionals practice in entities established under state law as professional limited liability companies ("PLLCs"), limited liability partnerships ("LLPs") or professional corporations ("PCs"). PLLCs, LLPs and PCs that have elected S Corp status under the Internal Revenue Code generally enjoy pass-through tax status. This allows all profits and losses of the business entity to pass-through to the individual(s) owning the entity, i.e., a single tax is paid.
However, on occasion attorneys and accountants are in a position to represent physicians, dentists, accountants or other professionals who are selling their practices, which were established as a C Corp for tax purposes. This usually triggers a double tax that can consume well over 50 percent of the sale proceeds. Unless handled thoughtfully, the sale proceeds will first be taxed at the corporate level of 35 percent (federal) and 8 percent (state). If the Corporation liquidates and distributes the remaining sale proceeds to the shareholder(s) of the C Corp, that distribution will be taxed at the personal level at about 15 percent (federal) and 9 percent (state).

Architecture Schools in Missouri with Degree Summaries
Missouri has five colleges that offer architecture programs. Learn about the degree programs, tuition info and program options for the five schools to make an informed education decision.
Essential Information
There are only a few schools in Missouri that offer architecture programs. Students can select from relevant degrees at the associate's, bachelor's and master's degree levels. Focuses are available in architecture, architectural technology, architectural engineering and landscape architecture.
Career Requirements
The Missouri Board for Architects, Professional Engineers, Professional Land Surveyors and Landscape Architects requires aspiring architects to complete a professional degree program from an accredited school of architecture. Completing a training period, typically about three years, is also essential prior to taking the Architect Registration Exam (ARE), which must be passed to gain licensure. Profiled below are the five schools offering architectural training in Missouri.
Drury University
Located in Springfield, Drury University's the Hammons School of Architecture offers a five-year professional program leading to a Master of Architecture. The degree program is accredited by the National Architectural Accrediting Board (NAAB) and qualifies students for licensure. Through the program, students complete two years of a pre-professional program before they begin completing the professional program. Courses include architectural theories, architectural design, building systems and architectural history. Participants can get involved in the American Institute of Architecture Students, where they can meet, interact with and help classmates. They can also participate in a semester-long study abroad program in Greece or a five-week faculty-led study abroad program in Europe, Asia or Latin America.

Missouri University of Science and Technology
Missouri University of Science and Technology is located in Rolla, a small town surrounded by forests, rivers and beautiful national parks. Through the Department of Civil, Architectural and Environmental Engineering, students can pursue a Bachelor of Science in Architectural Engineering, which is accredited by the ABET (formerly the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology). Through this degree program, students learn to plan, design and supervise the construction of buildings and other structures, which includes being able to manage finances and lead others. This program doesn't lead to licensure in architecture.
Learners can enhance their experience with campus facilities, including the Aggregate Materials Laboratory, the Structural Engineering Research Laboratory and the Butler-Carlton Civil Engineering Hall. They can also participate in campus clubs, such as the Architectural Engineering Institute or Chi Epsilon, which is for civil engineering honor students. Study abroad opportunities are available in London and Greece.

Through the Construction Division, students can pursue either an Associate of Science in Architectural Technology or Bachelor of Science in Architectural Technology. Within the programs, they have the opportunity to participate in real-world projects and gain hands-on experience. The two-year associate's degree program can prepare students for a bachelor's degree or for an entry-level position in architectural drafting. The bachelor's degree program includes studies in residential design, building design, architectural history and structural principles; however, this program does not prepare students for architecture licensure.

Learners can pursue a Bachelor of Arts in Architecture, Bachelor of Design in Architecture, Master of Architecture, Master of Landscape Architecture, Master of Science in Advanced Architectural Design or Master of Science in Architectural Studies.
The undergraduate programs familiarize students with the principles of architectural design and train them to solve architectural problems while they simultaneously explore other academic fields. The graduate programs launch students into a challenging arena where they apply building practices and technologies to explore both the theory and craft of architecture. The Master of Architecture programs are accredited by NAAB and lead to professional licensure in Missouri. Undergraduates can study abroad in Florence or Copenhagen and graduate students can complete semester-long study abroad programs in Barcelona, Buenos Aires, Helsinki, Seoul or Shanghai.

Product Selection
Ready For The Trail: How To Buy A Hiking Backpack
Set out on the trail with a high-performance hiking backpack. A heavy load is no match for the latest frame packs, internal frame packs and hiking bagsall designed for rugged utility during your outdoor excursion.
Some models are designed to haul large loadsideal for experienced hikers and those prepping for a multi-day excursion. Other backpacks are more minimal, built to carry lighter loads for overnight trips or ultra-light packers. Daypacks are great for short trips in the great outdoors.
Select from a variety of features, sizes and materials for the hiking backpack thats right for you. And shop trusted outdoor brands, including The North Face®, High Sierra® and Marmot®.
Buying Tips
The right hiking backpack features utility-minded features to suit your outdoor adventure. These backpacks can be categorized as traditional frame packs, internal frame packs and daypacks. Find the one thats right for you:
- Frame Packs: This type of bag is sometimes referred to as an external frame pack. The bag is held by an external aluminum frame, which rests behind your shoulders. This design evenly distributes weight between your hips and back. Frame packs have a high center of gravity and are cooler to carry in hot temperatures.
- Internal Frame Packs: These backpacks have a frame built into the pack, behind the shoulder harness. Internal frame packs offer more flexibility and freedom of movement than traditional frame packs. Compression straps hug the body and prevent loads from shifting.
- Daypacks: These bags resemble traditional backpacks and are great for hikers and campers on short trails and trips. Theyre generally soft-backed and frameless. Look for a bag built with highly durable materials.
Expert Advice
Consider these factors when selecting your hiking backpack:
- Always consider your torso length when selecting a frame pack or internal frame pack. Measure your torso with a tape measure and compare this figure to product information to find a bag that fits you.
- Whether youre setting out with an external frame pack or a lightweight daypack, look for a bag with an adjustable hip strap, which helps you better secure your load.
- Think about the duration of your trip as well as the environment, weather conditions and your needs as a hiker. Many bags come outfitted with specialized compartments for your gear, including a sleeping bag compartment, hydration compartment and compact pockets for carrying small essentials.
