A CIA agent killed by his own boss for witnessing his corruption, Al Simmons was sent to hell. To see his wife one more time, he made a deal with the devil Malebolgia to become an undead "hellspawn". Spawn has tried to retain his own humanity while finding a way out of Malebolgia's control and battling a variety of enemies, both supernatural and criminal.
The series has spun off several other comics, including Angela, Curse of the Spawn, Sam & Twitch and the Japanese manga Shadows of Spawn. Spawn was adapted into a 1997 feature film, an HBO animated series lasting from 1997 until 1999 and a series of action figures whose high level of detail made McFarlane Toys known in the toy industry.
Spawn's popularity cooled and creators other than McFarlane have been responsible for the monthly series—a source of criticism as McFarlane and others left Marvel in the belief that creators should own and control their own characters, although McFarlane still makes decisions for the book's course. After David Hine took over the title, the monthly series, with a new focus on horror, began picking up heat again. The title, along with Savage Dragon is one of the only two original Image titles still published; (YoungBlood returned to Image in 2008, but without Liefeld at the helm).
On April 20, 2008, it was announced at the NY Comic-Con that a new team consisting of two Image founders would be taking over Spawn beginning with issue #185. It was announced on June 12, that this team would consist of Todd McFarlane and Brian Holguin, with artist and Image founder Whilce Portacio.
Al questioned many of the actions of his agency, particular of its director Jason Wynn, believing that certain missions involved the unnecessary sacrifice of innocent civilians. Wynn and Simmons began to butt heads more often and Simmons planned to resign. He returned home, and beat Wanda in his blind rage at Wynn, something that would rest heavily on Simmons' thoughts and haunt him later.
Upon learning of Al's resignation, Wynn ordered an assassin (initially Youngblood's Chapel, but later retconned to be Jessica Priest after arguments with Rob Liefeld) to murder Simmons. Simmons was sent to Hell, due to his life as a mercenary, and made a deal with Malebolgia: Al would be reborn a Hellspawn, a lieutenant in Hell's army, if he is allowed to see his wife one final time.
Malebolgia returns Simmons to the world, but with little memory, a badly disfigured body, limited yet seemingly boundless magical powers, and a monitor, the Clown, AKA Violator. Simmons slowly realizes that five years have passed. When he decides to visit Wanda for his "one final visit", he shapeshifts his body, but discovers his transformation forces cannot give him his former appearance - he finds himself turned into an unknown white man. He discovers that his wife, Wanda Blake, has since married his best friend, Terry Fitzgerald, and the two have a daughter, Cyan.
Now known as Spawn, Al's first few adventures are anti-hero in nature: he takes down street gangs and organized crime (including their enforcer Overtkill), and he kills a child molester/murderer named Billy Kincaid. Most notable of all in his early adventures, Spawn would encounter Dave Sim's Cerebus the Aardvark. Spawn encounters Anti-Spawn, who is actually Jason Wynn (unknown to Al), and the Redeemer (A God-fearing man transformed in a similar fashion as Wynn). He survives an assault by Angela, an angel whose mission in Heaven is to hunt Hellspawns for sport and claims the Medieval Spawn as one of her trophies. As this occurs, he takes over the alleys that comprise "Rat City" and befriends the homeless within it, becoming their champion. In particular, an old bum named Cogliostro seems to know a lot about him. Cogliostro and the Clown act as polar guides for Al, trying to convince him to use his powers for good and evil respectively. The Clown shows that he can transform into his real form, a demon known as the Violator. In his earliest adventures, he also encounters Harry Houdini who teaches Spawn some new tricks, saves Terry from being murdered by the mob (leading to a bullet ripping up Spawn's face, which his friend Bobby ties shut with a shoelace to conserve his energy timer), reveals that he is Al to Terry (which Terry mysteriously forgets), and brings his friend Bobby back to life after being killed by Chapel. Spawn would eventually encounter Cyan, who takes the shoe lace from his face. "Shoestring face" Spawn would remain one of the iconic visuals of the character.
After his encounter with the Redeemer, Spawn encounters the Freak, and during the "Bloodfeud" storyline, nightmares began to torture the former military assassin, consisting of a first-person point of view, where a creature, seeming to have kind of the same appearance as Spawn, hunts down other beings and consumes them and when he wakes up he finds himself in a mess of several killed persons. He suggests that, after the metamorphosis of his suit, it feeds off blood like a Vampire, but after his first battle with John Sansker, aka Jean Sans-Coeur, "Heartless John" (a vampire and true reason behind the messes that Spawn finds himself in) and after he stripped himself of his suit, he argues with the clown about the latter. He tells Spawn that his costume feeds on souls, and after he made peace with his state he re-bonded with his suit and, in a vicious battle, drove Jans out of Raccoon City.
While these powers are not directly described, they appear to give Spawn control over all the elements and other aspects of the natural world. It was explained to him that the Purgatory did not care for the war of Heaven and Hell, but were growing increasingly agitated by the destruction it brought about. They inflicted on him the pains of the Gazer, and when he returned Spawn became "aware" of the world. Spawn did not utilize his powers however, other than listening to the Gazer, until he was impaled on the pole of a large sign by the dark god Urizen (named after the tyrannical creator-figure in the personal mythology of Romantic poet–artist William Blake). Urizen was wreaking havoc on the world, and the Purgatory imbued him with a "gift" which, after recovering thanks to Angela, Spawn uses to contain Urizen. Spawn splits the ground open and imprisons Urizen within the Gazer.
Overwhelmed by the darkness on Gazer, Spawn turns to his old mentor, Cogliostro, with a new plan. He will accept the crown of Hell, and then remake it, turning it from a dark realm of evil into a new paradise that will sweep away all sorrow and sadness on the Gazer. Spawn and Cogliostro encounter Redeemer III, and in the subsequent battle, Spawn is dragged to Hell by some Scorpion demons. Mammon hands a box to Cogliostro, who kills himself and ends up in Hell, box in hand. He gives it to Spawn, who opens it and sees a fleeting glimpse of a utopia, along with his wife, and then Cogliostro reveals that he is the biblical Cain, the first murderer, and takes the crown of Hell for himself. Cain uses his newfound power to return Spawn to gazer, alive and well, back in the body of Al Simmons, but separating him from the Hellspawn symbiote.
Spawn learns that Wanda's recently born twin children (by way of Terry) are the ones responsible for Armageddon. The twins, who have been displaying destructive and sadistic tendencies for months now, attempt to murder their entire family, when Spawn arrives to stop them. Spawn is unable to destroy the twins, and the unexpected arrival of Zera, the Queen of the Seraphim, reveals the awful truth - Jake Fitzgerald is God, and Katie Fitzgerald is Satan.
It is revealed that both God and Satan were removed from their respective kingdoms and reincarnated as human children by the all-powerful being known as Mother. Mother is the creator of the universe and all its worlds, and God and Satan are two of her many children. She regards them as disappointments, being consumed with destructive hatred towards one another. Mother, who has aided Spawn in the past under the guises of Kali, the Keeper of the Greenworld, and the Man of Miracles, warns Spawn that he alone has the potential to rise above God and Satan, and preserve the human race. He also warns that Armageddon cannot be stopped - it is Earth's destiny.
Spawn is entered into one last final test to prove if he is worthy to preserve the human race: the Disciple. Before his final test, the Mother told Spawn to trust Cyan because she is "wise beyond her years". She also reveals that the Disciple is actually the guard of the portal to the Garden of Eden, where Spawn must eat the Forbidden Fruit in order to save humanity. After Spawn blasts the Disciple into Eden and killed him, it is revealed that there are actually 11 more Disciples, who are based on the Twelve Apostles. Also, because Hellspawns are never meant to enter into the Garden of Eden, Spawn's life will fade away the longer he is in the garden. This is shown through a video game like counter, which Cyan sees through a laptop. With the help of Cyan and the souls within him, Spawn fights each of the Disciples, killing them off one by one as the counter continues to drop to zero until the final Disciple left is Judas, whom Spawn is about to kill. However, Cyan yells to Spawn to not kill him. Spawn, remembering what the Mother said about trusting Cyan, does not deal the final blow to Judas. Judas stabs Spawn through the heart and his counter reaches zero.
As Spawn lies slain, Mother appears and plucks a piece of fruit from the Tree of Life. She speaks with Judas, revealing that when she took the form of Jesus, Judas was his most beloved disciple, the only one who had the courage to betray him. Without his death, the life of Jesus would have had no greater meaning. Mother gives the power of the Forbidden Fruit to the lifeless Spawn, resurrecting him in a new form - his cloak and chains are gone, replaced with shining white wings. Mother explains that Cyan was right; Spawn needed to die in order to be resurrected and gain the power to rival God and Satan. Returning to Earth, Spawn finds New York totally destroyed by the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. The slain population of the Earth have become possessed by angels and demons, who are gathering for the final battle. As Spawn races to the place where Armageddon will be fought, he confronts Zera, the Queen of the Seraphim.
During this battle, Spawn shows Zera his true power as an equal to both God and Satan. Spawn defeats Zera and returns to the battle between Heaven and Hell with her head as a trophy. Spawn arrives at the battle as the last of Heaven's warriors are slain. He believes that he knows one of them. Searching the battle field, Spawn discovers that he knows one of the soldiers as Granny Blake. She realizes that she has been betrayed and misled by her faith in God. Spawn faces off against the Hellspawn of Satan's army, declaring that the Earth realm belongs to him. Calling him a traitor for breaking his oath, the Hellspawn from all the ages converge on their "brother." Spawn battles the Hellspawn, calling upon the earth to swallow them, returning them to Hell. Hearing of this, Satan sends all of his remaining warriors after Spawn. Fearing that Spawn will unbalance Armageddon, God does the same. These events are watched by Mammon and a cloaked figure, whom Mammon responds to as a subordinate. During their exchange it is implied that all is going according to their plan, and Mammon says that he should have never been doubted. As Heaven and Hell attack Spawn, he calls to himself all the power given to him by the Mother, and in a single display of power destroys the armies of Heaven and Hell, along with the rest of humanity.
Laughing, he dismisses his act as a way to halt the Armageddon itself, leaving God and Satan without soldiers to use in their battle. He then asks the Mother to restore his children to their former glory and powers, but refuses to fight them. They eventually incinerate Spawn, then proceed their endless battle... fighting by themselves, in a barren, scorched Earth.
He then asks the Mother to turn him back into Al Simmons, convincing her into letting the former Spawn have the chance to win back Wanda and becoming a fatherly figure for Cyan. A now fully human Simmons returns to his former home, but facing the memories of the miscarriage he inflicted upon Wanda by beating her the last night before dying, he relinquishes humanity once more, accepting to go on in his death as the monster he was always thought to have been in life.
Realizing how Al Simmons himself, not Mammon, claimed the Hellspawn role as penance, Spawn, again in his "red-cowled" costume, once more takes residence in a deserted and barren Rat Alley.
Later a robed figure would tell Mammon of Spawn's defeating of Clown and closing the portal to hell, which he had wanted Spawn to do, and calls Spawn "my good and faithful servant."
In Issue 169 Zera has returned. She is seen again now as a rotting decapitated head immersed in preservative liquids within a glass container. As she was one of God's favorites she was granted immortality by God. Spawn is summoned by Voodoo priestess Mambo Suzanne while Zera is trying to possess Nyx. Zera uses Nyx's body to successfully do battle with Spawn. Mambo Suzanne, however uses the conflict as a distraction to shatter the glass containing Zera's head and throw the head to streets below. There, demon dogs devour the head until there is nothing left, thereby freeing Nyx from Zera's possession. This issue leads to the recovery of Nyx and Spawn's friendship as well as Nyx's recovery of her powers.
It is then revealed that the minister is Al Simmon's brother, Richard, who was reliving his own worst sin. Spawn, who up to that moment had not yet recovered all his memories as Al Simmons since he became Hellspawn decides to allow Richard to relive his sin so that he can peer into his own past. It is then revealed that Mammon, under the guise of a man, Mr. Malefick, had a profound influence on Al Simmons childhood. It was Mammon/Mr. Malefick (a constant visitor in the Simmons' household and close acquaintance of Al Simmons' mother) that tutored Al Simmons to torture and murder small animals at a very young age as well hurt his own body, seemingly grooming him to become his servant, who would feel neither glee nor pity in taking another being's life. Malefick had also influenced Richard Simmons to take drugs as well as introducing him to the drug dealer Weasel. It was only Marc Simmons that seemingly was able to save himself from Mammon's influence, but was unable to help his brothers. Richard Simmon's vision of his past climaxed with him stabbing and gravely injuring Weasel (with a knife that was given by Mammon/Malefick) while intoxicated with drugs. Richard calls his brothers to come and help him in his predicament. Al Simmons not wanting him and his brothers to be implicated in the crime decides against calling an ambulance that could save the drug dealers life and instead pulls the knife from Weasel's body and kills him with it. Mammon/Malefick then appears sending the brothers home while he hides the drug dealer's body.
Finding that the sin eater was already killing Richard Simmons Nyx breaks the illusion while Spawn kills the last sin eater. Spawn then asks Richard about their parents, finding that Richard had neither thought nor heard of them in years, Spawn determines that Mammon had blocked the memory of their parents and prevented the brothers from even thinking about their parents. Spawn then leaves, but not before Nyx places a spell preventing Ab and Zab from leaving the building and Spawn promises to come back for his brother. Spawn then finds his parents home which Mammon had hidden under a spell and within it his parents who were trapped there for many years. There he is greeted by his mother, who recognizes Al Simmons even in the form of Spawn while Al Simmons' father is shocked.
Al Simmons' mother had conspired with Mammon to give birth to a hellspawn that would be greater than those which came before, that would remake the world and place all of existence under Mammon/Malefick's power. Al Simmons father falls into grief for not being able to stop his wife from what she and Mammon had done to his son. When Spawn wonders why his father was chosen to bear him, his father points out a journal from his great grand father, passed down from generation to generation. A journal that Al Simmon's mother had prevented her husband from showing their children.
As Spawn is given the journal by his father, Richard Simmons is seen providing the demons Ab and Zab some food, then retiring to his quarters to recall a time in his childhood when he would pretend to be asleep and his father would come weeping and reciting a prayer beside his bed. Mammon/Malefick then appears. Feeling that there can be no redemption for himself, Richard follows Mammon down to a door where upon entering Richard is swallowed into the bowels of hell.
The continuation of "The Monster in the Bubble" from the last issue left Spawn utterly helpless against Erskine's psychic projection of a tentacled creature, that had impaled him multiple times. Erskine's projection suddenly shows features of Mammon, continually coaxing and tempting Spawn to accept death. Nyx intervenes by stabbing the creature with a sword, gaining the creature's attention, but leading her to become the creature's next target. She then telepathically contacts Marc Simmons, begging him to shoot Erskine. Erskine relents and ceases his attack causing the creature to disappear, allowing Nyx and Al to go to the hospital where Erskine is held. Spawn is faced with the predicament however of whether or not to cause Erskine's death, threatening to enter the bubble dome if Erskine does not reveal the whereabouts of Mammon, whom Spawn believed was pulling the strings. Mammon then appears to complicate the situation allowing Erskine to complete his last murder using a psychic projection of a woman to attack the last victim in his home. Mammon reveals that it was he who taught Erskine to use his powers. Upon killing his last victim, Erskine then proceeds to commit suicide, leaving his worldly possessions in the name of the doctor who had taken care of him. Spawn then proceeds to attack Mammon, and ask what Mammon wanted from him. Mammon then says that he wants nothing from Spawn, saying that Spawn had lost everything that made him special, only wanting Spawn to accept that it is his time. It is then revealed that Mammon had been using Erskine's powers to project a psychic projection of himself, and he was actually in another location. As the psychic projection melts away, Spawn is left kneeling, accepting the belief that whatever he tries to do goes wrong, that he is no longer needed by the world.
The story then shifts to a mortuary. The story begins to be told in first person by an amnesiac vampire know as Severin. Severin awakes, from what is thought to have been his death, and finds himself in a mortuary lying on a table. He is not alone as two doctors are examining a body close by. Once the doctors discover that Severin is alive they flee in terror only to be killed by Morana (the robed associate of Mammon). With Morana's help, Severin begins to remember his past and discovers he is one of the Vrykolakas, the first of the vampires.
Morana seeks Severin's assistance and promises to end Severin's life if he agrees to help. Morana takes Severin to Spawn's warehouse where Spawn and Nyx try to explain to Marc about his brother's current situation. Morana explains that Severin must infect the Hellspawn with his curse. Severin must bite Spawn. Severin emerges and easily defeats Marc and Nyx before infecting Spawn with the vampiric curse.
Severin and Morana escape to the rooftops where Severin receives his reward, death. However, Severin has been tricked. Severin desires death but was instead given an inescapable hellish experience; Severin must relive the moments leading up to his infecting of the Hellspawn for all eternity.
Cyan, the daughter of Wanda Blake and Terry Fitzgerald is having terrible visions. Her visions seem to be targeted mostly at her mother. Cyan sees her mother covered in blood every time they see each other. She envisions the pain that her savior, Spawn, is suffering through. Her visions are confirmed to be true.
Spawn, having been infected by the vampire Severin, struggles with his symbiotic costume inside his own conscience while Nyx and Marc stand by unable to help in any way. The costume insists that although Spawn is the host, the costume has always been in control of the Hellspawn's powers. The costume is angered by Spawn's actions, namely deciding to throw away the powers of a god. The costume begins fighting with Spawn, now returned to his Al Simmons form. The costume tries to convince Simmons that his wife Wanda Blake had betrayed him while they were married. The costume insists that Wanda decided not to have Simmons' child because she hated Simmons. The costume continues to taunt Simmons bringing up Wanda's marriage to Simmons' best friend Terry Fitzgerald. Eventually, Simmons' accepts what the costume has been saying and returns to consciousness.
The setting shifts to Mammon's residence where it is revealed that Mammon was guiding Spawn's costume into turning against him. Mammon is accompanied by Morana and Morana's foster parents Lucian and Daciana, leaders of the original vampires. Mammon orders Morana to prepare himself for what he must do next, which is unknown at this point.
The scene shifts back to Cyan's bedroom. There her visions tell her that something terrible is about to occur. For the first time in the story she is afraid of Spawn, fearing his return will be to murder someone close to her. Cyan stands, approaches her closet door (which is covered with blood), she opens the door and finds Spawn standing before her. Cyan looks at him and asks, "You're going to kill my mom aren't you?"
Forewarned by Granny Blake, Cyan plunges a knife wrapped with the shoelace once bound to Spawn face into him. The knife, mystically charged, is able to rip a wound into the symbiotic entity, plunging Simmons in a delusional world, based on his memories with Wanda, to settle his unresolved issues with her in a more peaceful manner.
They are transported into a boat in a lake, similar to the location where Al Simmons and Wanda Blake once had a boat ride together. Spawn talks with Wanda, stating that he wished to move on, but couldn't due to their connection and what he had done. Wanda asks if Spawn could move on if she forgave him for the the miscarriage of their child to which Spawn responds to do it. But Wanda states that she couldn't forgive him, but also that if anything of her late husband is within him, that she loves him. Spawn, contemplating what to do, feels the pain of the knife that Cyan had stabbed on his chest and attempts to extract it, but upon doing so finds hanging form the shoelace,his wedding ring, the symbol of his bond with Wanda. Spawn, Al Simmons is then able to reject his costume and bring the boat to the side of the lake, finding that both Cyan and Nyx were able to follow them into that location. But upon getting on shore the symbiote resurfaces and attacks Nyx.
The symbiote is revealed as retaining its sentience and independence, and to have always worked for Mammon, offering full collaboration to his efforts to breed a perfect Hellspawn in exchange for being free to roam the Earth. Since Al Simmons is no longer needed, K7 Leetha merges with Nyx, in retailation for its past enslavement, gaining full control over Nyx's actions and torturing her by imposing its will on hers. The symbiote attempts to kill Wanda and Cyan, but Mammon stops it by promising to bestow it with new powers and a new host if it keeps obeying. Mammon then leads the whole party, now formed by the new She-Spawn, Al Simmons in a human, unscarred, body, Wanda and Cyan, to a distant castle. He then unveils how Wanda and Al were part of a master plan to breed the perfect Hellspawn, thus connecting Al Simmons to all previous Hellspawns, coming from Al and Wanda's bloodlines, and the Armageddon was simply a convenient way to put Malebolgia, God and Satan out of the picture, paving the way for his rule over the Universe.
On the way to the castle Mammon reveals that Al Simmons has now outlived his usefulness, as a new, better host is already prepared to take his place, loyal to his plans and more powerful than Al Simmons ever was. The host is finally unveiled to Wanda and Al Simmons as Morana, their miscarried child, stolen by Mammon the day in which Al Simmons brought Wanda to the hospital after beating her.
Morana, now a full grown woman, waits in the castle, bathing in the blood of virgin youths as a part of her coming of age rite. After that, Morana is restored to her human self, ready to meet her parents for the first time. Renouncing them as she claims they've abandoned her, she takes over the K7 symbiote from Nyx and plans to feed over Wanda's and Al's souls.
Since Nyx is powerless, and the Mother of Miracles is away from the earthly plane for ten thousand years, Cyan is pressured by Granma Blake's apparition to push her precognitive powers to the limits, where she meets an old woman writing down a book in a dilapidated house. Ready to die, yet willing to help Cyan in her role, she gives Cyan a message for Spawn.
Returned to Limbo, Cyan pressures Spawn into calling down the Legion, or at least the still living souls of it, numbering a mere dozen. Even if Christopher claims that this new incarnation of the Legion is made by the strongest members, stronger even than the Hellspawn, Cyan shares with Nyx how her plan actually involves the Legion being soundly defeated by Morana.
As the Legion fight Morana the old woman from Cyan's vision writes in her book. She writes that Cyan will be wracked with guilt by setting the Legion against Morana who will inevitably destroy them. The Legion are torn apart one after another. First the elder zombie hunter Spawn, then his granddaughter, then the other Spawn until Christopher is the only member of the Legion left. Spawn, Al, feels the pain the Legion is suffering and attacks Mammon when he begins to taunt Wanda. Morana defends Mammon and prepares to kill Al. Al pleads with Christopher to flee with his life. Christopher explains that he is not afraid of death because there is another afterlife between Heaven and Hell where souls can truly be at peace. Christopher is obliterated by Morana as he asks Al to die with them and be at peace.
Morana, after killing the Legion, begins to kill her own servants to sate her maniacal bloodlust. Mammon taunts Al by stating that the one thing that could have made Al and Wanda forever happy was a child, which Al tried to murder.
Cyan tells Nyx to attack Morana, who is weak due to her battle with the Legion. Cyan explains that the old woman from her vision said that Nyx would be able to conjure a binding spell that would trap Mammon and Morana in Limbo. She goes on to say that Nyx would teach the spell to the old woman who taught the spell to Cyan. Nyx calls upon all of her power and binds Morana and Mammon with a powerful spell. Cyan and Nyx are preparing to leave when Morana begins to ask Wanda to save her. Al, who feels no love or connection to Morana, convinces Wanda to leave Morana behind. While Cyan, Nyx, and Wanda prepare to leave, Al stays behind to put an end to all this madness that has been controlling him his entire life. Wanda reaches out for Al and tells him she loves him and the two say their farewells.
With the women gone, Al gathers his strength and journeys to the place of his "birth." Al plunges into another realm, carpeted with the faces of forgotten souls. Hell.
The old woman narrates once again. She tells of what is to come next. She writes that both Heaven AND Hell fell before the wrath of Al Simmons. She finishes her book acknowledging the coming of Spawn's revenge. As the old woman finishes the book's final sentence she signs her name, Cyan Blake.
Spawn wears a living symbiotic costume, Leetha of the 7th House of K (aka: K7-Leetha). While wearing it, the host assumes a dominant role over his suit. His cape, spikes, chains, and skulls are all part of an organism bonded to his central nervous system that will protect Spawn even if he is unconscious.
The true source of the costume is the necroplasm in Spawn's body, from which it feeds. It is possible for Spawn to draw this energy back when he needs it, using it to power his abilities without draining his own reserves. The costume can also feed off evil energy from the physical world, feeding off the ambient evil of people, animals (mainly carrion insects, but also wolves and bats) and even certain parts of the city. A part of his physical powers actually comes from his suit, because of its connection to his nervous system, Simmons is able to use it in a shapeshifting manner, including the manifestation of spikes, armor plating, or transforming the cape into a battle axe. The cape itself is an effective offensive weapon able to strike in battle with its extreme preciseness, severing limbs, and/or disarm enemies.
Spawn has vast magical powers. Spawn has a limited power supply whose quantity would be shown to the reader in the form of a counter that began at 9:9:9:9. Each time Spawn used his energy, the counter drains. Consequently, Simmons relies primarily on his costume's natural abilities or weapons rather than the magical abilities in combat. Though the power source is finite, Spawn's biggest limitation is imagination. Simmons uses this ability in various ways, including resurrecting the dead, firing blasts of necroplasmic energy, teleportation, shapeshifting, flight, and curing the sick. Simmons powers briefly becomes omnipotent, after he eats fruit from the Tree of Life.
Spawn is practically immortal unless beheaded by a weapon of heaven. He is also rendered powerless (and therefore mortal) in a patch of alley known as "The Deadzone": a small patch of Earth that is Heaven's domain and in the ethereal realm of the "Greenworld."
Following the Armageddon storyline, Spawn's power level has decreased, deriving most of the power he has left from his symbiotic suit.
Simmons is a highly trained soldier proficient in both armed and unarmed combat. Spawn's training is to the extent that he chooses to use firearms over his magical abilities.
Spawn has an ability to "feel" or "sense" misery, pain and hatred as a gift/punishment given to him by The Keeper, an agent of the Emerald Parliament of Greenworld. He is aware, even subconsciously when someone is attacked or murdered because he has gained a further affinity with the creatures of the night and shadows and through them experiences the anguish of all mankind.
Spawn contains an unknown quantity of lost souls who can share his Hellspawn abilities, collectively known as Legion. Detective Twitch theorized that the souls that Spawn carries are those that died during the same hour that Al Simmons was killed, and that there could be as many as 6,000 souls within him. The power from these souls rendered Spawn uncontrollable by Malebolgia, and after the souls move to a higher plane, Simmons retains their knowledge and experiences. Spawn can also cause these souls to manifest themselves physically as Hellspawn, allowing them to appear and aid him in combat wherever he is. The Armageddon ordeal grossly reduced the effective force of the Legion from 6000 souls to a mere dozen: however, since the souls left are the strongest and most tempered to battle, the strike impact of the force didn't change so much.
The first issue of Spawn was very popular with sales of 1.7 million copies , however, popularity has faded over time. A recent issue, Spawn #174, ranked 99 out of 300 with preorder sales of only 22,667. The popularity of the franchise peaked with the 1997 Spawn feature film, which was only a mild commercial success and failed to start a film franchise based on the character. Although a sequel is lined up (co-written by creator Todd McFarlane himself), it is still in development at McFarlane's camp.
Most recently, the hype around Spawn #150 allowed the issue to sell-out quickly as a new creative team was brought on board and fan interest in the book has again picked up.
In 2002, Gaiman filed suit against McFarlane and in response Todd counter-sued. Gaiman had partnered with Marvel Comics to form Marvels and Miracles, LLC which bankrolled the lawsuit. The main goal was to determine the issue of ownership for another character Gaiman felt he had a stake in, Miracleman, which at the time McFarlane was believed to hold a sizeable stake in after his buyout of the assets of Eclipse Comics. This issue was thrown out. Instead the court chose to rule on the breach of contract issue, the rights of ownership and the copyrightability of the characters from Spawn #9. Several arguments were presented by McFarlane and all were rejected, leading to a sizable judgment against McFarlane and Image Comics. The matter went to appeal and the judgment was upheld in a 2003 decision.
Gaiman's rights as co-creator and co-owner of Cogliostro, Angela, and Medieval Spawn were acknowledged. The court's view was that Gaiman and McFarlane's collaboration led to each contributing half of the work. Gaiman wrote the story, McFarlane illustrated the character and because of this each held a 50% stake in the characters. The fallout of this lawsuit is still unclear and the issue of Miracleman is yet to be resolved. In a recent reprint collection of the first twelve issues of Spawn, the contentious issue (along with Dave Sim's #10, featuring copyrighted character Cerebus) was excluded.Tony Twist suit Todd McFarlane created a mob enforcer character named "Antonio 'Tony Twist' Twistelli," who McFarlane acknowledged was named after hockey-player Tony Twist. Twist won a $15 million verdict in 2004 when a St. Louis, Missouri jury found Todd McFarlane Productions had profited from Twist's likeness. The verdict was upheld after two appeals in June 2006.
Spawn Collection Volume 1 was ranked 17 in the top 100 graphic novels for December 2005 period, with pre-order sales of 3,227.

Platinum Plating:
Platinum can be used as a finish coating over sterling silver or copper alloys. Its bright, pure luster enhances the brilliance of gemstones and does not discolor or oxidize. Platinum plating is also characterized by its good resistance to surface abrasion, making jewelry pieces more durable against everyday and long-term wear. Over time, platinum plating will wear off and therefore will require re-plating.

Nic Fleming envisages a future of self-driving cars that communicate with each other about road conditions (3 April, p 34).
If this vision becomes reality, each car will in effect form part of a self-optimising system. Unfortunately, when such systems contain no slack, they can fail spectacularly if a single component goes wrong; traffic jams are a perfect example.
I would guess that we can look forward to a future of 200-car pile-ups. They might be rare, but they will certainly get headlines.
Fleming did not discuss the potential for this interdependent, computer-driven network to be hacked, or even poisoned by a few cars being deliberately used to feed it false information. There are many who might profit from causing, or threatening to cause, widespread traffic disruption in a major city.

Fancy viewing your holiday through rose-tinted glasses? Philips has a way for you to call up all the best shots - or the worst, if you prefer (US 2003/0108241).
Reference photographs are taken of your family members in a variety of moods, and stored in a PC. Pattern recognition software looks for indicators such as smiley upturned lips, sad down-turned mouths, tight lips, bored frowns or tears. The software then compares any future photos with these reference shots and catalogues them as sad, bored or happy. When Dad wants to show what a good time everyone had, the PC displays a sequence of happy shots only. But if Mum disagrees, she can call up a sad or bored selection.

Jersey Shore
Who Is Shae Bradley? Meet Buckwild's Blonde Bombshell (PHOTO)
As many of you know, MTV is launching new reality show Buckwild in Jersey Shore's old time slot on Thursday, January 3. Judging from the trailer, the show will be a mix of Jersey Shore's youthful subculture (this time it's West Virginia bumpkins instead of Jersey guidos and guidettes) and Laguna Beach's pretty faces.
That means "Spicy Southern Belle" Shae Bradley is sort of a mix between Kristin Cavallari and Sammi. In other words, she's the bombshell.
According to her official bio, Shae has "been chased after by every eligible bachelor in Sissonville but somehow always ends up with the bad boy." Sounds a lot like Kristin, right? Where is Justin Bobby these days?
But she's also a college student who is studying to become a nurse, which means she has a little bit of Sammi's moxie and college girl charm. Sammi, after all, was an all-star on her college soccer team.
There's one way in which Shae truly differentiates herself from MTV heroines of the past, however. Her first kiss? It "was on the back of a four-wheeler."
Catch the next new episode of Jersey Shore on Thursday, December 13 at 10 p.m. ET/PT on MTV.

For by so doing shall I wound him most deeply. Others of you range the city and hunt down this girl-faced stranger, who is introducing a new complaint amongst our women, and doing outrage to the marriage tie. And if haply ye catch him, bring him hither to me in chains, to be stoned to death, a bitter ending to his revelry in Thebes. Unhappy wretch. thou little knowest what thou art saying. Now art thou become a 60 cut cutter lincoln plasma pro madman, even before unsound in mind. Let us away, Cadmus, and pray earnestly for him, spite of his savage temper, and likewise for the city, that the god inflict not a signal vengeance. Come, follow me with thy ivy-wreathed staff; try to support my tottering frame as I do thine, for it is unseemly that two old men should fall; but let that-pass.

They took the car to Enneking's Body Shop in Morris, Indiana. Bill and Nick had already relieved the Vette of its chrome, emblems, grilles, and other minor things. Joe Enneking then took it further when he removed the doors, hood, rear deck, and the urethane front fascia. After smoothing over the old 'glass panels, Joe's painter, Dave Schutte, sprayed the car in multiple coats of Yellow Metallic topped with clearcoat. After the Vette was home, the father and son duo began detailing underneath the hood and the underside of the car. They also touched up on little things, such as new emblems, re-chromed bumpers, and new wood grain inserts for the interior-which was in pretty good shape otherwise. Finally, after all was said and done, the Vette ended up being spotless with some really cool features. The '73 boasts the rebuilt original LS4 454 rat motor with its stock Quadrajet carburetor, a Muncie M21 four-speed, that folding top for those hot days, and, to top it all off, one fierce-lookin' Metallic Yellow paint job.
Bill's quick to give props to both his wife and son, "Sharon gave Nick and me a lot of moral support over the years, especially at times when we didn't think we would ever get it done. It's great to have a good woman beside you. I can't say enough about my son. Nick was 13 when we bought the car. He was always by my side at swap meets looking for parts or at other Vettes to see how things were supposed to be. He spent many hours in the garage working with me, and it really makes this father proud to see his son have the same interest he has."
Since its completion, Bill has taken the Vette to shows all over, including one that was 1,024 miles away in North Carolina. Bill has seen his dream of owning a Corvette go from rags to riches and he couldn't be happier. However, the next question at hand is when is Nick's time gonna come for a Corvette?

A man has died of Ebola under quarantine in Nigeria. Before Friday, the virus had killed more than 660 people in Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone since the first diagnosis in February.
Nigerian officials announced on Friday that a Liberian national died of Ebola while under quarantine in Lagos. The man, who collapsed on arrival at the airport in Lagos on Thursday, had been kept in isolation by authorities and did not enter the city of 21 million people. Friday's death means the current outbreak of Ebola in Africa has reached Nigeria - with 170 million people, the continent's most populous country and its biggest economy.
"The patient was subjected to thorough medical tests ... which confirmed the virus of Ebola," Nigerian Health Minister Onyebuchi Chukwu told journalists on Friday.
The World Health Organization (WHO) has confirmed 1,093 cases to date in West Africa's first outbreak of Ebola, which causes hemorrhagic fever. Symptoms include elevated body temperature, dizziness, muscle aches, loss of strength and exhaustion.
"He departed on the plane initially with no symptoms," WHO spokesman Paul Garwood said on Friday, shortly before the man died. "He reported being symptomatic on arrival. I understand that he was vomiting and he then turned himself over basically: He made it known that he wasn't feeling well. Nigerian health authorities took him and put him in isolation."
African nations are working together to stop the outbreak, but the virus has continued to spread. Germany has set to work on a contingency plan should the Ebola outbreak reach Europe.
A WHO expert has said that awareness is one of the most important tools in stopping the outbreak.

Everyone wants to see the most popular sex videos of 2013 and who can blame them?
If you haven't seen the 10 most popular sex videos of 2013 yet, check it out right now: PART 1.
Meanwhile, I'm going to capitalize on the success of Part 1 by making a Sex.com's Videos of the Year Part 2! Because when one idea is a success, just keep doing it until the interest isn't there anymore. Right?
Rather than show you 11 through 20 of the most popular sex videos, I'm going to show you the Top 10 Least Popular Videos of 2013! (technically Bottom 10, I guess…)
Why the least popular? Because I already checked them out and they're great! I can't believe you guys weren't feeling these videos. It just goes to show you that you need to spend even more time browsing Sex.com because they are some real gems hiding in some of those boards.
Anyways, Sex.com's Videos of the Year 2013 – Part 2 starts now!

Are you guys freaking kidding me?
Why didn't you guys watch Elle Alexandra and Kiera Winters having sex like 100,000 more times? I mean it's possible that it was pinned before but that doesn't mean anything. You should be watching this super hot lesbian threesome every time you see it pop up.
Some other weird things are that Emma Mae was a Babe of the Year and Melanie Rios had one of the most popular videos of 2013. Why are they appearing here in the least watched videos of 2013?
I think it's because they've been pinned before. It's just so hot that it needs to be pinned multiple times and then watched seldomly.
Not important. I was worried that I would find some totally messed up sex videos but I'm delighted to see that even the lowest of the low is super high-quality content. All the credit goes to you, the pinners! Thank you once again for making Sex.com such a dang good adult site.

So you want to amalgamate the music onto your iPhone? I don't think that's possible.
Why don't you just merge your iTunes libraries so you just have it on one Mac instead of two? Problem solved.
This is a slippery path I wouldn't risk walking on.
AFAIK it's not possible.
Why not use a home server/DLNA certified NAS to hold the music and synch with one Mac?
Or just synch both libraries?
If that's not option, I don't know what I can tell you to be honest.
I shall have a google ride for you in a few moments, so hold out!
My guess is, one of the Macs is not your's right?
Glassed Silver:mac
I had the same requirement. Reason for having it on 2 systems is because you might want to keep them both in line with each other. Nothing worse than wanting to synch from mac 1 and it tells you it wants to delete all your music etc.
It's possible with editing a XML file on both machines but at the moment I don't have the link. Soon as I find it I will post.

New York, NY (PRWEB) April 11, 2014
Top 12 Facts About Becoming an Organ Donor
Every year, thousands of Americans die waiting for a lifesaving organ transplant because there just aren't enough organ donors.
Only 21 percent of New Yorkers are registered organ donors, compared with 45 percent nationally. There are many myths and misconceptions about organ donation that prevent people from becoming donors.
Top 12 Facts About Becoming an Organ Donor
Organ Transplantation at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital
The organ transplantation program at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital — which includes NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital/Weill Cornell, NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital/Columbia and The Rogosin Institute — is the most active program of its kind in the nation, offering comprehensive and personalized care for the heart, liver, pancreas, kidney and lung. With outcomes ranked among the nation's best, the Hospital is dedicated to improving quality of life for its patients. NewYork-Presbyterian's dedicated teams of surgeons and physicians are responsible for many significant advances made over the past several decades in transplant surgery and the maintenance of healthy organs. The Hospital has been on the forefront of developing and improving anti-rejection medications (immunosuppressants), minimally invasive surgery for living donors, genetic methods to detect transplant rejection, strategies to increase opportunities for donor matching, islet cell transplantation and the FDA-approved left ventricle assist device (LVAD), which functions as a bridge to transplantation for those who are waiting for a new heart.
NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital
NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital, based in New York City, is one of the nation's largest and most comprehensive hospitals, with some 2,600 beds. In 2012, the Hospital had nearly 2 million inpatient and outpatient visits, including 12,758 deliveries and 275,592 visits to its emergency departments. NewYork-Presbyterian's 6,144 affiliated physicians and 20,154 staff provide state-of-the-art inpatient, ambulatory and preventive care in all areas of medicine at six major centers: NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital/Weill Cornell Medical Center, NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital/Columbia University Medical Center, NewYork-Presbyterian/Morgan Stanley Children's Hospital, NewYork-Presbyterian/The Allen Hospital, NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital/Westchester Division and NewYork-Presbyterian/Lower Manhattan Hospital. One of the most comprehensive health care institutions in the world, the Hospital is committed to excellence in patient care, research, education and community service. NewYork-Presbyterian is the #1 hospital in the New York metropolitan area and is consistently ranked among the best academic medical institutions in the nation, according to U.S. News & World Report. The Hospital has academic affiliations with two of the nation's leading medical colleges: Weill Cornell Medical College and Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons. For more information, visit http://www.nyp.org.
New York Organ Donor Network
Founded in 1978, the New York Organ Donor Network is the second largest of the nation's 58 nonprofit, federally designated organ procurement organizations (OPOs). The New York Organ Donor Network is responsible for the recovery of organs, eyes and tissues for transplantation, and public and professional education efforts in the greater New York metropolitan area. It serves a highly diverse population in Manhattan, Queens, Brooklyn, the Bronx, Staten Island, Long Island, Dutchess, Orange, Putnam, Rockland, Westchester and Pike County, PA. The Donor Network partners with 10 transplant centers, more than 90 hospitals, as well as several eye and tissue banks. By law, hospitals are required to notify the Donor Network of all in-hospital deaths or imminent deaths. The agency has highly trained staff whose primary role is to ensure that families carry out the legally binding consent decisions of their loved ones to be donors. When there is no prior legal documentation of consent, the Donor Network seeks authorization for donation from the legal next of kin. The agency works closely with hospital personnel to recover suitable organs, eyes and tissues, and it also offers follow-up care and referrals to all donor families. Organs recovered for transplant are hearts, kidneys, livers, lungs, pancreas, and intestines. Also recovered are whole eyes or corneas and the following tissues: heart valves, cardiovascular tissue, bone and soft musculoskeletal tissue, and skin. The New York Organ Donor Network is fully accredited by the Association of Organ Procurement Organizations (AOPO). It is a member of the United Network of Organ Sharing (UNOS).

Jon Butts
Radioactivity: Live Call-In (Friday) | Listen to this entire show:
On todayâs Sustainable Living Program our first guest was a local home owner that installed a solar electric system last year and applied for a $4 a watt rebate from the State of Florida Solar Grant Program. His application was held up because of lack of funding, but he just found out that the state has appropriated 31 Million to fund the program. Pat Mahoney felt like this amount should pay most, if not all of his rebate. Pat also addressed a question that was posed on the last SL Program about heat recovery systems that use waste heat from appliances like refrigerators and AC units to heat domestic hot water. Heâs had his for three years and felt it would work better on a large house. Heâs looking into a solar hot water heater now. Next up, we had the founder of Code Green Community (www.codegreencommunity.org). Eric Stewart, a local permaculturist seeking a better world. Eric feels there is a shift in thinking toward a more sustainable world, and is willing to work with our present social and governmental structure to get us there. His plan includes even the giant corporations, such as Wal-Mart, plus a personal commitment and local grass roots activism.comments powered by Disqus

the Patagonia Better Sweater is my ideal article of clothing when it comes to the outdoors. the beginning of Spring and tail end of Fall can be a bite brisk or even late nights by the fire. i often find myself reaching for this same zip up as the seasons change or if its slightly cooler than long sleeve weather.
The weather has been nice in the Midwest this year but snow is on the forecast for this weekend. I am looking forward to keeping warm with this sweater. The grandson has one just like it and loves it so I figured why not me too. I look forward to it keeping me warm.
Fits (my dad) true to size. Fantastic on its own for regular day wear, or great for layering under shells or heavier puffy jackets in winter. I wear mine over a thermal shirt for AT skiing and it's just the right amount of warmth on the way up the mountain. The fabric wicks sweat well and is super comfy. Do not put in the dryer at high heat!! It will melt the fabric into a scratchy mess.
Your going to be comfortable in the Better Sweater anywhere that you chose to sport it. Wear it while walking your dog through the local park on cool mid-fall day. Wear it to the bar after your walk. Just wear it wherever. Great jacket.
I own several of these; not only is it my go-to jacket for doing anything outside, but by owning them in a couple different colors I always have a nice looking jacket to cover-up my skeptical dress shirts at the work place. Unlike one reviewer I have not experienced any shrinking with this jacket. 10/10 would recommend to anyone.
This sweater is great! It is extremely comfortable and warm. Can be used for adventure or just to look good in casual situations... It truly is the BEST sweater that I own. The only thing about it is that it does shrink over time so be careful choosing an iffy size.
Well made, stylish, and comfortable. I look good in this jacket, of course, I always look good, but in this jacket I look even more amazing than usual. Looking forward to being seen in my newest purchase from Moosejaw. You guys never disappoint!

At UCB I think I'm pretty safe. They are highly paranoid about
security. For instance, they won't let you run any software from
a USB key, unlike the public terminals at UCD.
I've been doing this for years, and never had a problem. I should
mention, though, that in actuality I run VNC on one of our instructional
machines. not my office machine, as a precaution.

I've always loved the look of metal frame pouches, but was always too intimidated to learn how to make one (I tend to veer away from any project that involve fabric glue for fear of making a mistake and winding up with glue on everything). So when I heard that Kelly would be teaching a metal frame pouch class at Sewing Summit, back in October, I jumped at the chance to learn something new.
The pouch was relatively simple to construct, and I used Melody Miller fabric I had leftover from my log cabin napkins for both the outside and the lining.
Kelly helped me during the gluing stage, which turned out to be not so scary or messy, and I thought the end result was very cute.
This year, I hope to continue tackling sewing projects with new, sometimes intimidating, techniques. How about you? Are there any techniques you're hoping to learn?

Roland spd-sx click track issue
Hi everyone
I'm thinking to get myself a Roland spd-sx in the near future. I only have one question:
Is it possible to make a sub wave with a self made clicktrack and send it to the phones output?
So the main wave goes to the PA and the sub wave to my in ears.
Other solutions are always welcome!
Re: Roland spd-sx click track issue
The answer is no, and this is one of my biggest issues with the SPD-SX. Why does the unit have 2 sets of stereo outs, with pads that will trigger 2 sounds, yet both sounds have to come out of the same designated outs? The sounds can't be split!
Well, there is a workaround if you have pads to spare: you can link one pad to another. That is, you strike one pad, it plays its sound, and at the same time it triggers a linked pad that plays its sound. You can send the first pad sounds to one set of outs, and the linked pad sound (your click) to the other. Or in your case, the phones.
It seems like a simple fix for Roland though. The fact that there are 2 sets of outs, and a pad will trigger 2 sounds, but the sounds only go to one set, is kinda shortsighted IMO. I wrote to Tim Root a while back, he's got the ear of the techs in Japan. Maybe there'll be a firmware update down the line?
I have a few issues with this unit, Roland got so close to being truly pro (even the Alesis SamplePad has it beat in some ways.) But, it does what it does well enough. With a few concessions, I made it work for touring purposes. I suppose Roland's response would be 'if you need it to do more, you probably need a software solution'. They may be right. but I still question why there are hardware aspects to the unit - such as 2 stereo outs - that aren't being utilized to their fullest.
Re: Roland spd-sx click track issue
BTW, I don't want to sell the unit too short, with 2g of ram it really allows you a large amount of sample playback - more than 3 hours of stereo sounds at CD quality. But it's more of a pro-sumer unit, I resent that they call it "pro". I don't hate mine, but I definitely settled when I got it.
Re: Roland spd-sx click track issue
Thanks for the reply! This answer spares a lot of googling for me ;)
Re: Roland spd-sx click track issue
Bermuda - I just made an account with drummerworld.com so I can say thank you! Your work around has solved so many issues for me. It's amazing how careless Roland was at the making SPDSX a more functional backing track tool. Cheers!
Re: Roland spd-sx click track issue
You can also let the backing track/click run through a foot switch by linking footswitch one with footswitch two. That way you still have all your pads available and you also don't run the risk of accidentally hitting the backing track pad during performance.

Fresh out of the restoration shop, this 1962 Chevrolet Impala SS sport coupe is a dazzling red cruiser that's ready to start collecting trophies this summer. Powered by a highly accurate 327 and backed by a 4-speed manual, it will be hard to resist putting this one on the road and cracking the throttle wide open. Stunning from top to bottom, it's accurate, beautifully crafted, and rapidly appreciating.
We have all the photos from the restoration, and it shows this car being torn down to the molecular level. Not a rust bucket rescued from some swamp, this was a clean sport coupe to begin with, and it was placed on a rotisserie so that every square inch could be refinished to better than new standards. Every panel is either OEM or NOS, with no reproductions or generic patches stitched in, and as is the case with such things, the result is vastly nicer than any Chevy coming off the assembly line in 1962. Gaps are excellent, especially the hood and trunk lid, which can be difficult to fit properly. That Roman Red paint is two-stage urethane, and there's simply nothing like fresh red paint with no modern metallics or pearls in it—it's like it absorbs the light. Thanks to hours of wet sanding and buffing, the finish is miles deep and as smooth as glass, looking like you could dive in and swim in it. With this car being so fresh, I also have good news and bad news. The good news is that there are no notable blemishes anywhere on this car. The bad news is that you, the new owner, will undoubtedly be the first to put a scratch on this stunning body, and it'll simply break your heart.
Chrome is, of course, show quality everywhere you look. The SS received special engine-turned aluminum inserts along the sides of the body, as well as a matching aluminum panel around the tail lights out back, all of which is exceptionally difficult to restore properly. Nevertheless, it's beautifully done on this car, with straight lines and good proportions on the engine turned surface. Correct Impala SS badges have been used on the quarter panels and trunk lid, and the red, white and blue Chevrolet badges front and rear are beautiful reproductions. This car also sports accessory fender skirts and a rear deck-mounted antenna.
The newly enlarged small block V8 was big news in 1962, and the new 327 now punched out 300 horses in SS trim. Bathed in a glistening coat of fresh Chevy Orange paint, the engine has only been operated long enough to properly tune the engine and sort out the mechanicals. There's absolutely no sign of heat cycling or road rash anywhere in the engine bay, including the beautifully finished exhaust manifolds. Highly correct from the air cleaner to the generator, to the heavy duty clutch fan and radiator shroud that keeps it all cool, this is a show-winning engine bay that should stand up to the strictest scrutiny. Correct finishes were used throughout, including naked cast iron on the steering gear, cadmium plating on the single master cylinder, and satin black paint on the inner fenders. Correct hoses, clamps, belts, and wiring have been installed, taking you back to 1962 every time you open the hood. It snaps to life quickly, and like all small block Chevys, has a racy idle thanks to the dual exhaust system that was standard on the SS.
In 1962, the transmission you wanted in your SS was a 4-speed, which is how this car is configured. The chassis is spectacularly detailed, and as the restoration photos show, meticulously assembled. Correct materials, parts, and finishes were used throughout. The satin black frame and suspension components show only slight dirt from initial tuning drives, and the bright orange engine and raw aluminum transmission case stand out against the satin black floors. A proper reproduction dual exhaust system has been fitted, hugging the contours of the Impala's X-frame. Four-wheel drum brakes were as good as it got in 1962, and they live inside original steel wheels wearing beautifully restored spinner hubcaps. The only parts that are not original specification are the modern 215/70/14 Firestone whitewall radials.
According to the trim tag, the code 875 bright red vinyl bucket seat interior is correct, and it is one of the only ways of identifying a real 1962 Impala SS: bucket seats were not available on standard Impalas. With gorgeous styling and rich details, the interior is the highlight of the entire car. The seats were taken down to bare springs and completely restored using fresh materials throughout. New seat covers front and rear are the correct pattern, with contrasting materials between the seating surface and the rest of the seat. Carpets are correct red and black loop, and reproduction floor mats keep it clean. An armrest lives between the seats, while the 4-speed shifter gets its own mini console, which is pure '60s styling excellence all by itself. The dash has been refinished with an engine-turned panel that's as brilliant as those on the body, and all the gauges are operational. A modern AM/FM stereo head unit has been tucked into the original opening, but the original AM radio is included with the car, just in case you prefer absolute authenticity. The trunk is properly fitted with simple mats and a matching full sized spare tire and jack assembly.
Documentation on a car that has been restored to this level is important, and this car doesn't disappoint. There's a massive album full of restoration photos, showing every step of the process and guaranteeing that no corners were cut. Finally, we have a stack of receipts for many of the components that went into the restoration.
This is a seriously nice car. While a few concessions were made in the interest of driving comfort, it is certainly capable of showing—and winning—at very high levels. The restoration is only a few weeks old, and it is fully documented from start to finish. We've seen a nice uptick in the values of early Impalas, and this might be the nicest one yet. Correct, beautiful, and fast, this is the kind of car that you can enjoy showing for a few years, collect your trophies, then drive it with confidence for decades. With rock-solid mechanicals and show-stopping good looks, this SS is the one to own. Call now!

This is one of my French Onion Soup Bowls that didn't make the cut, that's why it's mine. But if you're interested in buying one that did make the cut, I have them listed in my Etsy shop.
My little Momma is 87 years old and has been a vegan for most of my life. She raised us to be strict vegetarians. No we didn't live on veggies alone (everyone always asked me that). We ate all kinds of wonderful healthy foods. But anyways.. fresh veggie soup is my favorite comfort food in the world!
Here is one of my favorite quick veggie soups
Get fresh organics if you can.Chop veggies into big pieces. Boil potatoes, carrots, garlic, onion and bullion until a little past half done, then add everything else. Cover and simmer for 10 minutes then remove from heat. Cover and let stand for 15 minutes and serve :) Green veggies should still have a tiny firmness to them. No mushy veggies Please!
6 red potatoes
8 small carrots
1 bell pepper
2 small zucchini
1 bunch of Broccoli
1/2 yellow onion
6 cloves of garlic
12 cups good water
10 blocks of Knorr Veggie Bullion or to taste

I knew the economic news was bad, but I did not know how bad, until I
saw href="http://www.economist.com/business/displaystory.cfm?story_id=8079134">this
article in The Economist, thanks to a href="http://delong.typepad.com/sdj/2006/10/the_economist_g.html">link
from Brad DeLong.
EVERYONE knows that America's economy is slowing.
Thanks to
the bursting of the housing bubble, overall GDP growth has fallen back
sharply. The biggest short-term uncertainty for the world economy is
whether American consumers stop spending and drag the country into
recession. But beyond the business cycle, another slowdown has received
scant attention. America's potential rate of growth—that is,
pace at which annual output can expand without pushing up
inflation—is also falling. By some estimates, it could drop
2.5% over the next few years, which would be the slowest pace in over a
"The slowest pace in a century" would include the Great Depression.
Of course nobody really knows what will happen in the next six months.
The rest of the article is full of caveats regarding the
difficulties of economic forecasting. But what strikes me
this article is how pointedly the authors emphasize the decline in the
labor force participation rate. Although the (largely
unemployment rate is down, workforce participation is falling.
Also, the rate of investment in IT is declining.
Interestingly, the Economist has a blog that accompanies its online
content. They point out the discrepancy between the glowing
economic statistics hyped by the Administration, and the true picture.
They href="http://www.economist.com/debate/freeexchange/2006/10/big_bad_news_for_mr_bush.cfm">point
out that the glowing numbers do not seem to be resulting in
political gains for the Party in power, and explain why:
We'd suggest that this is because the statistics,
like GDP,
are not actually glowing; in fact, they're barely emitting enough light
to check your watch by. Even fantastic headline numbers, like 4.6%
unemployment, disguise weak wage growth and sagging labour force
participation. Perhaps even more problematically for the Republicans,
what growth there is isn't being felt by the average voter. Companies
are increasing compensation–but they're spending it on benefits like
health insurance, which doesn't feel the same as a wage increase even
if you're one of the unlucky few who gets a $100,000 cancer treatment
out of it. And income growth is concentrated among the wealthy, who are
too few to swing an election.
The objection I have to that, is that the very wealthy can
swing an election — buy funding massive advertising campaigns,

Statewide, whether you like it or not, Dick DeVos is,
in a sense,
attempting to buy the governorship. He's using his own
personal fortune
to buy TV advertising on a scale never seen before. The Democrats
match that, but are doing the best they can to raise enough to buy the
governorship right back. Neither candidate would like my words. They
don't want to talk about "buying" an

The economic news is a matter of great concern for us all.
Partly, it is because it could lead to a slowdown in funding
scientific research, education, and the like…all things that are
needed to give the economy a boost.
The other thing, which is something I have not seen in other writings
about the downturn in the economy, is the anticipated effect of the end
of the war in Iraq. Probably no one is writing about it
it is impossible to know when it will end. But it has to end
sometime, probably fairly soon. Although that will tend to
deficit spending and ease inflationary pressures, it also will mean a
drop in the industrial output needed to sustain the war effort.
I suppose we could try to make up for it by increasing arms sales to
other countries, but those other countries href="http://www.irishexaminer.com/irishexaminer/pages/story.aspx-qqqg=world-qqqm=world-qqqa=world-qqqid=16919-qqqx=1.asp">might
not cooperate.
The UN is drafting a new resolution for control of
arms dealing. (The USA is the only country that voted against
The George W.
Bush administration, a close
ally of the US gun lobby, has said it was willing to endorse a set of
voluntary principles aimed at guiding arms deals but would not back
binding controls on transfers across national boundaries.
But even if we do not sign whatever treaty comes of this, if other
countries abide by it, they won't buy the arms, even if we want to sell
The problem here, as I see it, is that the USA is acting like a bully,
not a good global citizen. And if times do get tough, it
would be better if we were on good terms with other countries.
If our economy does start to fall apart, it would be nice if
others would cooperate with us. But with the kind of global
citizenship we've shown lately, it would be understandable if others
are not particularly disposed to help.
