Location, three blocks form town square, restaurants and shopping
It was very hard to find in that it is on a three block long street and all of the streets in town go the opposiate direction. You had to circle town and come in from the northwest. Once we learned how to find the hotel it was fine. Parking was also $$$
The rooms are newly renovated ; the staff is courteous and accomodating
We really enjoyed our stay while we were there, but we are not enjoying the several charges that are now coming across on our credit card for a pre-paid room. Had to leave our CC for security, now we have to charges for the same amount on different days.
Really nice hotel near the town center. Also included free breakfast (no heated items).
The room was good sized.
The bed was two singles pushed together with a decent sized gap between them. The shower of the hotel was very poorly designed in that you can't keep the shower headed pointed at you.
Hotel in first class location , small but clean rooms. But very noisy when windows open for air as room very stuffy and very bad drainage in the shower and very steamy .. But over all ok
Bad drainage in the bathroom and no extracted for the steam , poky wardrobe space
Location and facilities were wonderful. Hotel on a canal with small square nearby with cafes. Very convenient to Markt Square. Hotel has Old World charm. Delphine at front desk was very helpful. Definitely would stay there again.
Our room was quite small - #24- with a small window and not much light. The tub/shower did not have a shower shield on it.
Near to central city
Steet noise was loud until early morning. The room was hot, we couldn't open the window because of the noise, the beds were uncomfortable, and therefore I didn't sleep. The room seemed to be very unclean (carpets, walls, etc.)
I got the room for $75/night from the usual $150-200 since it was Monday during the low season. The hotel is a 10 minute walk from the train station and right by the Lake of Love. All major attractions are within an easy 10 minute walk.
The wi-fi is terrible. I constantly had one bar (instead of 4) on my iPhone, which made everything extremely slow and unstable. Major frustration.
*Excellent* location. Very close to the train station and to the center of the city, but insulated from craziness off a lovely little street leading into a beautiful park. Really a wonderful area.
I know this is relatively typical for a European hotel, but the room was tiny. The bed was so narrow I had flashbacks to college. Wonderful bathtub, good thick quiet walls, but just a tiny little room. It's a great place to stay, but I have trouble reconciling $136 with the lack of space in that room.
Great location, everything within walking distance.
It did not honor the 'Hotel Freebies: Free breakfast' that was published on the Priceline website and booking confirmation. We were charged for breakfast. Now in the process of getting Priceline to honor this and grant us a refund.

Indian hare
|Indian hare[1]
|Scientific classification
|L. nigricollis
|Binomial name
|Lepus nigricollis
F. Cuvier, 1823
|Indian Hare range
(green - native, red - introduced, dark grey - origin uncertain)
The Indian hare (Lepus nigricollis), also known as the Black-naped Hare, is a common species of hare found in the Indian Subcontinent.[3] and in Java. Introduced to Madagascar, Comoro Islands, Andaman Islands, Irian Jaya, Papua New Guinea, Seychelles, Mayotte, Mauritius and Réunion[4]
There are 7 recognized subspecies of Indian hare.
- Lepus nigricollis aryabertensis
- Lepus nigricollis dayanus
- Lepus nigricollis nigricollis
- Lepus nigricollis ruficaudatus
- Lepus nigricollis sadiya
- Lepus nigricollis simcoxi
- Lepus nigricollis singhala
Lepus nigricollis are also called black-naped hares due to the patch of black fur that runs along the nape of the neck. The top of the tail is also black and the back and face are brown with black hairs scattered throughout. The underparts are white. Total length ranges from 40 to 70 cm and weight ranges from 1.35 to 7 kg.
Like all hares, they have long ears and large hind feet which are well furred. There is some evidence that hares that have been introduced to islands are smaller than those in mainland India. Regardless of location, female L. nigricollis tend to be larger than males.
Usually they spend much of the daytime sleeping in "forms" or depressions made in the grass. Occasionally they will be seen stretched out on their sides, sunning themselves. They are primarily diurnal and solitary, though may aggregate somewhat for breeding.
During mating season, male become aggressive, sparring with other males using their forepaws and "boxing" with their hind feet. Males will attempt to mate with as many females as they can. Reproduction rates tend to be at their highest during the wet season, though L. nigricollis will generally breed year round. The increased rate of reproduction is likely the result of an increase in nutrient rich foods. On average, 69% of adult females are pregnant every year. In L. nigricollis dayanus, reproduction is also dependent on the length of the day. One to eight young are born after a gestation period of 41 to 47 days. Sexual maturity occurs in the year following birth.
Young hare, called leverets, are precocial at birth. They are born well furred and with open eyes. The female gives birth in a "form", or hollow made in the grass. She will hide her young in dense vegetation and visit them for nursing, which lasts 2 to 3 weeks. Young hares are odorless and will remain very still while hidden. They will usually not breed until they are at least 1 year old.
Life span[edit]
Longevity in L. nigricollis is unknown but other hare species tend to live 5 years in the wild and up to 7 years in captivity.
As other leporids, Indian hare also depends on strong running abilities to avoid predators, but if necessary, will find shelter in a cave or hollow tree.
Predators include Canids (foxes, wolves, dhole), Herpestids (mongooses), Felids (leopards and wild cats), humans, eagles and hawks.

Find Your Story - June
Bob Dickman, First Voice
Thursday, June 30, 2011 from 8:30 AM to 12:30 PM (PDT)
Learn what the masters of business already know: how to tell a compelling story.
Recently Lynda Resnick, the CEO of a two billion dollar conglomerate whose brands include Fiji Water, Teleflora, and POM Wonderful, stated the principle behind her success. "I don't do companies that don't have a story. If they don't have a story, they don't have a business."
In this four hour, interactive workshop you will learn to tell a story which…
Past participants in this workshop have included attorneys, accountants, coaches, managers, engineers, entertainment executives, officers of non-profits, entrepreneurs, and even actual rocket scientists. It can help you, too!
We communicate whether we are aware of it or not.
Even when we are silent we're speaking volumes.
Our core belief at FIRSTVOICE is that everyone has the potential to communicate with vitality and authenticity. Most of us have buried and forgotten our fresh and authentic voice under the clutter of opinion. At FIRSTVOICE, we coach leaders and organizational teams to find their voice and tell their stories. By doing this stakeholders transform from passive listeners to communities of action.
Successful communication does more than give facts; It transports people into seeing the world in new and unexpected ways.

Former State Senator Accused of Ethics Violations
By Alabama Public Radio
Montgomery, AL – The Alabama Ethics Commission has found probable cause that former state Senator George Callahan violated the state ethics law.
The commission voted unanimously yesterday to send the case to the attorney general's office. The complaint accuses Callahan of using his position as a senator to get money for the Alabama Pecan-Satsuma Festival at Tillman's Corner. The ethics complaint says the festival then used an advertising company run by Callahan's son to help publicize the event.
Callahan says he is disappointed with the commission's ruling, and thinks the complaint was filed for political reasons.

Today, I debated whether GM should set aside IPO shares for taxpayers with Julian Epstein, LMG CEO and Democratic strategist. CNBC hosts are Trish Regan and Melissa Francis. Here's a transcript:
Votes without voters - the notion seems like something from "The Twilight Zone." Yet this outcome, the result of a mysterious computer glitch, may have helped re-elect Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid over his Republican challenger, Sharron Angle, last week by a 50.2%-44.6% margin. Actually, the "mystery" is very likely the doing of a local of the Service Employees International Union (SEIU), which nationwide provides votes, money and muscle for the Democratic Party. Critics are charging that voting machines throughout Clark County (Las Vegas), where about three-fourths of Nevada's population resides, were rigged to place check marks next to Reid's name before a person even had voted. County officials insist that no tampering occurred. But the possibility can't be dismissed, especially given that one of Reid's sons is county commission chairman.
In the previous years, NLPC has demanded an end to taxpayer funding for the Legal Services Corporation (LSC), AARP and George Soros' private foundations, only to be rebuffed by Democratic and Republican Congresses. The incoming Congress was elected to cut out inappropriate spending. The practice of collecting money from all taxpayers and using it to promote political causes with which many disagree is simply unethical. Incoming House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) must put a stop to it.Legal Services Corporation- This year, LSC is receiving $420 million in tax dollars. LSC funds 136 local groups to provide civil (not criminal) day-to-day legal help to poor people. Unfortunately, many LSC-funded lawyers instead spend their time on liberal political and social causes.
Jeff Bliss of Bloomberg reported yesterday:
A U.S. House committee chairman asked the Federal Trade Commission to provide details of Google Inc.'s collection of data from unsecured wireless networks.
The FTC on Oct. 27 announced it was ending its investigation into possible privacy violations by Google in its gathering of data for its Street View mapping project.
"I am sending a request to the FTC for a staff briefing on a number of privacy investigations including Google Street View," House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Edolphus Towns said in an e-mailed statement.
A U.S. House committee chairman asked the Federal Trade Commission to provide details of Google Inc.'s collection of data from unsecured wireless networks.
The FTC on Oct. 27 announced it was ending its investigation into possible privacy violations by Google in its gathering of data for its Street View mapping project.
"I am sending a request to the FTC for a staff briefing on a number of privacy investigations including Google Street View," House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Edolphus Towns said in an e-mailed statement.
Yesterday I wrote Reps. Edolphus Towns (D-NY) and Darryl Issa (R-CA), the chair and ranking member of the House Government Oversight Committee, urging a thorough investigation of both Google Street View and the FTC's recent conduct during its investigation of the program. Click here for a 6-page pdf of the letter that includes additional background on Google's extensive and close lobbying connections with the Obama Administration.
As part of Google's "Street View" operation, fleets of specially outfitted cars drove through multiple countries collecting photos, video and, as Google now admits, sensitive personal information from WiFi connections. Yet in late October, the Federal Trade Commission abruptly ended its investigation of "Street View" – a decision that came on the heels not only of Google's admission that its surveillance was much more serious than previously disclosed but only days after a $30,000-a-head fundraiser for President Obama at the home of a Google executive.
The term "wealth redistribution" has been used by political pundits on the right who accuse Democrats of having a misguided agenda wherein the wealthiest Americans will be able to subsidize a government spending spree in order to redistribute wealth to the less affluent populace. General Motors, through its reorganization plan, has contrived its own version of wealth redistribution. This action was orchestrated by the Obama Administration as it took control of the GM bankruptcy process. Old GM shareholders and bondholders, along with taxpayers, lose out as new wealth is created for bankruptcy attorneys and advisers, investment banks and the politically connected UAW.
The electorate's repudiation of Barack Obama and his Congressional allies was not only a rejection of Big Government, but also of business elites who were buffeted from the downturn by political dealing at the expense of ordinary people.
Unless Corporate America heeds the election results, it too will risk the wrath of an informed and energized public. Here are CEOs who must pay attention to what happened yesterday:
Pfizer CEO Jeffrey Kindler- Not only did Kindler (above) lead the charge of Big Pharma CEOs for ObamaCare, he actually got a multi-million dollar bonus from Pfizer for doing so. This is not going to look very good once ObamaCare spikes insurance premiums, prompts hospital closures, and explodes the number of uninsured. Of course, Kindler wasn't naïve or confused, he had reason to help destroy the health system. Big Pharma made a deal that guarantees it customers and insulation from competition. (I assume Kindler plans to retire before the government forces Pfizer to sell its products for less than it costs to produce them.)
The Fed is supposed to be insulated from politics but it is not supposed to be divorced from reality. In the face of the election results, Ben Bernanke's reported plan for hundreds of billions in additional government bond purchases seems ill advised.
The American people have spoken. Government spends and borrows too much. The electoral repudiation of Big Government was preceded by the emergence of the Tea Party movement, which is transforming debate over our financial nation's future. Public debt has become Public Enemy #1.
The scenario is all too familiar: A corporation or government agency, having knuckled under to a group of "civil rights" activists and their lawyers, renders itself an easy target for successful copycat shakedowns. The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) for over a decade has epitomized such capitulation. And once again it has come through. On October 19 the department announced the settlement of a longstanding lawsuit in which thousands of American Indian farmers and ranchers had claimed discrimination by USDA credit program administrators. The $760 million agreement, which gained preliminary court approval yesterday, follows the agency's capitulation earlier this year in separate lawsuits filed by black and Hispanic farmers. Taxpayers will be stuck with the bill.
According to unnamed sources, the GM IPO will offer approximately 22% of the company for proceeds of about 10 billion dollars. Shares will be sold at $26 to $29 after a stock split. This puts the company's value at approximately 50 billion dollars, in the same area as Ford's market cap. Arguments can be made whether or not GM is worth more than Ford, but there are other more important facts to ponder. Why did Ed Whitacre recently disclose that the IPO would price between $20 and $25, only to see the media hype a higher figure based on leaks that no doubt came from the company itself.
Probably because today is Election Day. The auto bailout is even more unpopular than the stimulis spending or ObamaCare. The pressure is on GM to shed the "Goverment Motors" label.

One fineass thin ski sock
- Gender: Male
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I am always in the market for fine-gauge ski socks. My fitted Langes do not tolerate squishy socks very well. I tried these Teko socks on a whim, and they are exactly what my feet needed. They stayed perfectly in position and kept warm. An excellent choice if your boots fit tightly. Size XL was a perfect fit on my size 46 hooves.

Superman Quiz
George Reeves was not the first man to defend truth, justice and the American way as Superman, but he is perhaps the most tragic. Although he possessed leading-man good looks, an impressive physique and serious acting talents, movie stardom and financial success eluded Reeves for most of his life. His death on June 16, 1959 ensured that Reeves would be famous not just for his work, but also for the mystery surrounding his demise. While theorists and investigators may never agree on what happened in his final moments, his life remains a fascinating story. See how much you know about television's first Superman in our George Reeves quiz.

CALIFORNIAN: Reagan bringing Latin Jazz, but no J-Lo, to the Merc
Dan Reagan and Jennifer Lopez are on a first name basis but don't expect to find J-Lo, the celebrated Hollywood entertainer, in the audience tonight at the Merc when Reagan's Latin Jazz Quartet dishes up an evening of salsas, sambas and other spicy musical dishes.
Reagan, a top-of-the-line trombonist, then explained what has led to his developing a friendship with Lopez. It's because she generally accompanies husband-vocalist Marc Anthony on tours and he employs Reagan as lead trombonist in the Anthony band.
"I'm fortunate to be on the couple's 'A' list for Marc and Jennifer's private parties and I get to see Jennifer as she really is, not the Jennifer Lopez she's expected to be when she's out in public," Reagan said. "And it's always a treat when she sings with the band though that's not often. She spends more time with television interviews when we're touring than she does singing."
Celebrities aside, Reagan is proud of the quartet he'll bring into the Old Town jazz haven tonight: three college students with great chops and the trombonist and sometimes conguero, himself. They are pianist Kris Korasgaden, bassist Mack Leighton and drummer Isaac Crow.
Reagan teaches small jazz ensemble at the San Diego School of Creative and Performance Arts on a part-time basis and therefore has a ready-made pool of musicians from which to draw on for his quartet.
Because he spends so much time on the road with the Anthony band, bookings for his quartet are handled through the Adams Project, administered at San Diego State University where Reagan is working on a masters degree. The Adams Project acts as a clearing house and nationwide network for those wanting to hire a band or artist.
"I don't get as many local gigs as I'd like, but I've been on the road for seven out of the past eight weekends," Reagan said. "So, until I can free up some time for local jobs and I plan to do that next year, you won't see or hear much of me on the San Diego scene.
"However, the Merc is one of the few clubs in the county I've played. Not with my band but in the Gunnar Biggs Latin Jazz Quartet, And I can tell you this: the Merc is one of the best venues going."
Born in the Midwest but raised in San Diego, Reagan thought for sure he'd be a trumpet player who would grow up to be a rocker and hopefully would land a job with the Tower of Power. But plan dream went up in a mist when he switched to trombone and then heard a kids' band in the neighborhood playing Latin jazz.
"When they first asked me to join them, I turned them down, but the more I saw people dancing in the streets and the guys in the band having nothing but fun, I was hooked. Since then it's been all Latin Jazz," he said.
Since Latin jazz comes in all sizes and sizes ---- Brazilian that includes Bossa Nova; Cuban, a variety of fusions between Cuban music and American jazz such as Cubop and Puerto Rican that melds Puerto Rico heritage with a hip form of jazz ---- Reagan apparently will touch all the bases tonight.

The Department of Health and Human Service's and Environmental Protection Agency's Use of Special Pay Rates for Consultants and Scientists
GAO-12-1035T: Published: Sep 14, 2012. Publicly Released: Sep 14, 2012.

What GAO Found
The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) use of special hiring authorities under 42 U.S.C. §§ 209(f) and (g) has increased in recent years, from 5,361 positions in 2006 to 6,697 positions in 2010, an increase of around 25 percent. Nearly all HHS Title 42 employees work in one of three HHS operating divisions: the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Title 42 employees at HHS serve in a variety of areas, including scientific and medical research support and in senior, director-level leadership positions. At NIH, one-quarter of all employees, and 44 percent of its researchers and clinical practitioners, were Title 42 appointees.
HHS reported that Title 42 enables the agency to quickly fill knowledge gaps so medical research can progress and to respond to medical emergencies. HHS further reported Title 42 provides the compensation flexibility needed to compete with the private sector. In 2010, 1,461 of HHSs Title 42 employees earned salaries over $155,500. The highest base pay amount under the General Schedule the system under which most federal employees are paid was $155,500 in 2010. Under certain types of Title 42 appointments, statutory pay caps may apply. 2010 was the last year of HHS data available at the time of GAOs review.
HHS does not have reliable data to manage and provide oversight of its use of Title 42. Moreover, HHS did not consistently adhere to certain sections of its Title 42 section 209(f) policy. For example, the policy states that 209(f) appointments may only be made after non-Title 42 authorities have failed to yield a qualified candidate, but GAO found few instances where such efforts were documented. HHS has recently issued updated 209(f) policy that addresses most of these issues. HHS is developing agencywide policy for appointing and compensating employees under Title 42 section 209(g), but it is not clear the policy will address important issues such as documenting the basis for compensation.
Since 2006, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has used section 209(g) to appoint 17 employees. Fifteen of EPAs 17 Title 42 employees earned salaries over $155,500 in 2010. EPA appointment and compensation practices were generally consistent with its guidance; however, EPA does not have post-appointment procedures in place to ensure Title 42 employees meet ethics requirements to which they have previously agreed.
In its legal opinion, GAO concluded that an appropriations pay cap applies to certain, but not all, employees appointed under 42 U.S.C. §§ 209(f) and (g). If Congress desires upper pay limits for appointments not currently subject to the pay cap, it may wish to consider legislation to specifically establish such limits.
Why GAO Prepared This Testimony
HHS and EPA have been using special hiring authority provided under 42 U.S.C. §§209(f) and (g)referred to in this testimony as Title 42to appoint individuals to fill mission critical positions in science and medicine and, in many cases, pay them above salary limits usually applicable to federal government employees. GAO was asked to review the extent to which HHS and EPA have (1) used authority under Title 42 to appoint and compensate employees since 2006, and (2) followed applicable agency policy, guidance, and internal controls for appointments and compensation. GAO was also asked to determine if there are statutory caps on pay for consultants and scientists appointed pursuant to Title 42.
This testimony is based on GAOs July 2012 report (GAO-12-692) and a legal opinion on whether there are statutory caps on pay for consultants and scientists appointed pursuant to 42 U.S.C. §§ 209(f) or (g). (B-3223357)
What GAO Recommends
In the report on which this testimony is based, GAO made recommendations to HHS to improve oversight and management of its Title 42 authority and a recommendation to EPA to improve enforcement of its ethics requirements. HHS agreed with GAOs recommendations, while EPA disagreed, citing actions already taken. GAO acknowledged EPAs plans to address these issues, but maintained the recommendation was needed to ensure implementation.

Alternative investment firms have been trumpeting the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to make a killing on European distressed debt for months—or years. But with a huge amount of cash in had, those opportunities appear to be extremely slow in coming.
Hedge funds and private equity firms are sitting on a whopping €60 billion earmarked for European debt. But the fire sales they expected from Europe's banks at cut-rate prices simply haven't materialized, thanks in part to European policymaker's actions over the last few months that have taken much of the pressure off of the continent's debt-laden banks, Bloomberg News reports.
"It's moved more slowly than people thought," Colony Capital's Tom Barrack told Bloomberg. "The banks work in concert with the government and the corporate framework much more so than in the U.S."
One of the hedge funds hungering for deals has come to the same conclusion, although it still holds out hope.
"The troubles in Europe have not created the volume and types of bankruptcy and restructuring opportunities that might be expected from difficulties of such monumental proportions, most likely because the governments and banks are essentially holding each other up and keeping the private sector afloat—for now—with lots of freshly-printed paper money," Elliott Management explained to investors in April.

On a two way street that has a double yellow line , can you make a left hand turn into a business , store , private home , crossing over the double yellow line ? I have looked on the dv website and it appears you cannot cross into the other lane to pass a vehicle but not sure about making a left hand turn into a business ?
Speeding / Traffic Ticket Lawyer
No you cannot. Did you get a ticket for it?
Criminal Defense Attorney
You cannot make a left over double yellow lines.
I am a criminal defense attorney practicing in Nassau, Suffolk and New York City. The above information is not a substitution for a meeting whereas all potential legal issues can be discussed.
Criminal Defense Attorney
Yes you may under certain conditions. Vehicle and Traffic Law § 1126 [b] allows this per the Court of Appeals in a case a couple of years ago called People v Sykes which observed that making a left turn over the lines is legal.

'Hamas should focus on independence, not ports'
Official close to Abbas criticizes Hamas' 'strange' demands, says airport and sea port can be built by independent Palestine; AFP reports PA may take control of Rafah Crossing.
Text size
Conflicting reports came in from Cairo of a Palestinian draft agreement to be presented to Israel late Saturday. A Palestinian official told AFP that as part of the agreement, Egypt and the Palestinian Authority would take control of the Rafah Crossing. Hamas' demand of opening a sea port in Gaza would be postponed and deferred to the PA, which would in turn negotiate the matter with Israel.

I am comparing two folders using a diff tool. I have tried a few different diff tools, but right now I'm using WinMerge. There are many files which show as unique to the right or left side, for example:
On the right we have:
On the left we have:
The text file may have slight variations, but it's mostly similar. I would expect a tool to exist in most merge/diff tools which could tell you that these files are likely the "same" (meaning they have the same base), but the file has been moved, renamed, and slightly modified.
What I'm specifically trying to do is a "vendor merge." We have some customized software, and we want to merge the changes from a recent official release with the changes we have made. Many files have moved in the latest official release, and finding every move/rename by hand is difficult.

Review: 'dʒrægɛn: A game about a Dragon'Posted by Sonious on Thu 28 May 2015 - 20:24
As I was looking for a furry game to review this month, I didn't have to go too far before I ran into a promotional video that caught my attention. Despite the simplistic voice acting there was something about the aesthetic and the sense of humor that dʒrægɛn: A game about a Dragon held about itself that seemed to garner immediate interest and curiosity.
So what is this game about a dragon? Let's take a look and find out.
Three comic book reviews: Pull List #25 ('The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl')Posted by crossaffliction on Tue 19 May 2015 - 23:55
I've probably made it fairly clear in past Pull Lists, but just in case I haven't, Squirrel Girl is my favorite superhero. For those of you unfamiliar with the character, Doreen Green is a Marvel mutant with the ability to talk to squirrels, as well as squirrel like agility, plus a squirrel tail. Together with her squirrel sidekick, Tippy Toe, she fights crime as Squirrel Girl. Very well. At risk of sounding like a hipster, I liked Squirrel Girl before Squirrel Girl was cool. Of course, Squirrel Girl is cool because she is not cool (which also sounds super hipster-y), but my love for the character is not ironic.
I like her because she is a genuine superhero; she both has superpowers and acts heroically, but more importantly, she also likes being a superhero. She has fun being a superhero. If she doesn't take, say, an encounter with Doctor Doom seriously, it's not because she herself sees the ridiculousness of the situation. She doesn't see fights with supervillains as something to worry about; she's a superhero. She is supposed to fight supervillains; and she wants to fight supervillains. On a meta-level (and though she doesn't quite go to, say, Deadpool's textual awareness level, like most "humorous" Marvel characters, she has her medium aware moments), she believes that she will win any fight with a supervillain because she is a superhero, and superheroes always win in the superhero stories she reads; therefore, by choosing to be a superhero, she chooses to win. It is not "realistic" that she should, say, beat Doctor Doom with squirrels, but, seeing as how she isn't real, reality does not concern her.
This is why she is such a divisive character; a certain sort of comic book fan believes that comic book superheroes can only be taken seriously if it is presented "realistically." This viewpoint has been the default comic book fan view for decades now, to the point where a character who regularly and unequivocally wins fights with supervillains, and doesn't angst about it, stands out like a sore thumb, and is therefore a breath of fresh air, especially if your personal preference (like mine) is Guardians of the Galaxy over Watchmen. This is not to say a comic book that deals with the consequences of superheroics is bad; it's to say that a comic book that deals with the consequences of superheroics isn't automatically good. And comic books that don't aren't automatically bad. Or for that matter, that "realism" and "explores consequences" are mutually exclusive.
So, anyway, Squirrel Girl has her own comic book now, and it's awesome. Here's a review of the first three issues.
Concerns over conduct of Northwestern sexology researcherPosted by jm on Mon 4 May 2015 - 20:24
Kevin Hsu is a sexology researcher based at Northwestern University on the outskirts of Chicago. In 2013 he sought, and received, approval from the Northwestern Institution Review Board (IRB) – an ethics committee that oversees research with human subjects – to study furries.
Hsu's research is intended to follow work published by Dr. Anne Lawrence in 2009, which references furries as a group possibly displaying a hypothetical phenomenon associated with fetishistic behaviour named "Erotic Target Location Error". Hsu's hypothesis is that many furries – possibly most – are zoophiles, where that attraction manifests as the furry identity and in activities such as fursuiting, and that furries can therefore be classified as "autozoophiles".
Review: 'JumpJet Rex' (PC)Posted by Sonious on Wed 29 Apr 2015 - 18:29
This is one small step for dino, and one giant leap for sauruskind. JumpJet Rex is a retro action platformer where you play as the first dinosaur astronaut. Rex's casual space exploration becomes a call from his species to save them from an asteroid bearing down upon the planet. Will Rex be able to save the dinosaurs? Or will they go extinct? The answer depends on whether you can guide him and his jet boots skillfully enough to survive.

Discussion: How to feel about old shame?Posted by Mister Twister on Wed 18 Mar 2015 - 22:10
It has been about three weeks since the biggest FurAffinity controversy of recent years happened. For those unaware, every single piece of art that was ever uploaded there has been archived, and preserved. Now you can see all the galleries that has been wiped from FurAffinity, presumably forever, in just a few clicks.
In other words, what is put on the Internet, stays there forever, as the great Anonymous warned us.
That made me think: how should we feel about embarrassing old art and dirty laundry? For the longest time in history, artists could hide their more controversial and poor quality drawings form the public, put them in a safe, or throw into the fire. That time is apparently gone forever. Since there is nothing we can do about it, should we change the way we feel? I think this is a worthy subject to talk about. What do you think?
What is furry music?Posted by Rakuen Growlithe on Thu 12 Mar 2015 - 14:31
The furry fandom is, by-and-large, a visual fandom. Internally, we elevate visual art to the point where sites like Fur Affinity and SoFurry are often referred to as "art sites", despite hosting various kinds of content. Similarly, outside attention on the fandom has tended to exaggerate fursuiting, another highly visual aspect of the fandom.
This focus on visual aspects is quantified in The State Of The Fandom 2008. Although this is far from the most recent set of results available from the Furry Survey it is the most complete report on the results. It shows that approximately 90% of furries consider artwork, 59% consider writing and only 23% consider music to be important to the furry fandom. In addition, 36% said that music was unimportant to the fandom, compared to 7% and 6% for writing and art respectively.
Three comic book reviews: Pull List #24 ('Guardians of the Galazy', 'TMNT')Posted by crossaffliction on Fri 6 Mar 2015 - 17:45
At this point, I'm a bit behind of recent comic books, but I'm trying to get caught back up to recent times while bringing our readers reviews of every issue of Guardians of the Galaxy, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic and a few even newer series we'll be getting to eventually.
But for now, we've got Guardians of the Galaxy, plus I finish up the final couple of TMNT villains issues.
Armello: Promising furry fantasy game in early access releasePosted by Sonious on Sat 24 Jan 2015 - 19:00
League of Geeks' flagship game shows a great deal of promise as it goes out to early access. Armello is a video game which bases itself in board game principals where four heroes, a wolf, rat, rabbit and bear, compete for their clans to secure the throne.
The goal is to gain more prestige points than your opponents by the time the king dies of his illness, or to smite him yourself. The game has three methods of doing this, and takes familiar elements and mixes them in ways that work extremely well. The fact that the characters are anthropomorphic is icing on the cake of a solid game.
Opinion: The top ten movies of 2014Posted by crossaffliction on Fri 23 Jan 2015 - 21:50
But enough about next year - here's ten movies from 2014 I liked.
Review: "Alpha and Omega: The Legend of the Saw Tooth Cave"Posted by Diamond Man on Sat 10 Jan 2015 - 18:43
When I finally saw the plot synopsis and the box art for Alpha and Omega: The Legend of the Saw Tooth Cave, I was actually pretty upset. I feared that they just no longer care for the original characters of the very first movie.
The box art only featured the wolf puppies and I kept thinking negative things like: "Are they heading in a direction that I don't want them to go?"
I was scared about this movie. I just didn't bother posting a preview here, probably because of that. But you know what? My fears weren't completely true. They actually shown Kate and Humphrey and they had real roles. However, the focus was still often on the pups. There was also a white wolf called Daria often along with the pup Runt. These two were the main focus.
Some amount of spoiler is to be expected!
Doing the FA tango; one step forward, two steps backPosted by Rakuen Growlithe on Tue 18 Nov 2014 - 18:43
One must wonder whether it's time Dragoneer stepped down as head of Fur Affinity, as he continues to make poor leadership decisions. Earlier this year, he stirred controversy by announcing Zaush, who'd been accused of rape, as development lead for Project Phoenix. This time he has made sure there are no lingering doubts over the suitability of his appointments by choosing a fur with a history of maladministration.
StarryKitten was recently announced as the new head of the FA tech team, tasked in part with "bringing more transparency" to FA. Some noticed that StarryKitten had only joined FA about a week before the announcement was made. As it transpires, StarryKitten was an alternate account created by the infamous Zidonuke, the real head of the FA tech team.
With the concept of irony easily going right over Dragoneer's head, it was further revealed that the tech lead with a puppet account has been a secret member of staff since 2013:
I've actually been a hidden admin on the FA staff for over a year now.
Review: 'God of Clay', by Ryan CampbellPosted by Fred on Wed 29 Oct 2014 - 18:29
The cover bears the line, The Fire Bearers: Book One, letting you know it ends on a cliffhanger. It is, in fact, the first volume of a trilogy.
In the prehistoric past, when men shared the world with anthropomorphized animal-gods, there were two very different brothers in a tribe. Clay, the older brother, respects and worships the old gods who control all men's lives, while irreverent Laughing Dog mocks the unseen gods, and swears that he controls his own destiny. The brothers love each other, in their own ways, but their differences lead both to disaster.
Doto crouched in the forest, his clawed fingers pressing down beneath the grasses and bed of fallen leaves to touch the earth below. He went out, out, into the soil, into the trunks of the trees, the branches and leaves, the grasses and ferns. He felt the air swaying branches, the sunlight on the leaves. He felt the rodents skittering across the forest floor. […] He leapt from branch to branch and winged over the canopy. He spread himself out, farther and farther. Through the keen eyes of the birds and the considering gaze of a monkey clinging to a branch above, he could see himself, crouched on the ground far below, so still that he was nearly undetectable. […] All the surrounding life lived through him. But all was not right. There was an uneasiness in the forest, somewhere around the edges. Could great Atekye have risen herself up in the south of the forest, swelling her swamps to flood the forest floor once again? (p. 1)

Review: 'Rose Point' and 'Laisrathera', by M. C. A. HogarthPosted by Fred on Tue 23 Sep 2014 - 21:28
These are books 2 and 3 of M.C.A. Hogarth's Her Instruments space opera trilogy. Earthrise, book 1, was reviewed in Flayrah in June 2013.
The fact that Maggie Hogarth commissioned professional s-f cover artist Julie Dillon to paint the covers of this trilogy instead of doing their covers herself, as she usually does for her books, shows that Hogarth considers them especially good (or at least especially salable). And you know how good her fiction usually is.

Review: 'Slightly Damned', by Sarah 'Chu' WilsonPosted by Fred on Wed 10 Sep 2014 - 03:11
These are the first two collections of the wacky fantasy Slightly Damned full-page, full-color internet weekly comic strip by Sarah "Chu" Wilson. She has won the Ursa Major Award for both the Best Anthropomorphic Other Literary Work (these book collections) and for the Best Anthropomorphic Graphic Story, for both 2012 and 2013. If you haven't read "Slightly Damned" yet, these are a lot more fun than reading through the strip's online archives a page at a time.
The back-cover blurb, which establishes the mood as well as the plot, says:
Rhea has a big problem: SHE'S DEAD. Too burdened with sin for Heaven or Purgatory, yet not quite bad enough for Hell, Rhea is sentenced by the grim reaper to the obscure Ring of the Slightly Damned. There she finds that death is only the beginning of her worries as she contends with dysfunctional Demons and their perplexing pets, a socially awkward Angel with a cute 'n cuddly curse, a goofy god, and even… herself. The afterlife just ain't what it used to be!
Slightly Damned, Book One, by Sarah "Chu" Wilson, Phoenix, AZ, Slightly Damned Comics/Orlando, FL, Ka-Blam Digital Printing, June 2012, trade paperback $39.95 (unpaged [276 pages]), digital download $4.99.
Slightly Damned, Book Two, by Sarah "Chu" Wilson, Phoenix, AZ, Slightly Damned Comics/Orlando, FL, Ka-Blam Digital Printing, May 2013, trade paperback $39.95 (unpaged [318 pages]), digital download $4.99.
