The Auburn Tigers are the defending college football BCS champions and are sitting in top of the football world, but it's a new year and the Tigers are destined to fail. The Tigers lost their best player and several key components to the championship team so some decline is expected, but the Tigers will be one of the worst teams in the SEC.
Cam Newton is gone. He headed off to the Carolina Panthers as the No. 1 draft pick in the NFL. While one player does not make a team, Newton most certainly was the heartbeat of the Auburn Tigers. A case could be made that he is the main reason they won it all a year ago.
Newton singlehandedly amassed 4,327 yards which was good for 61 percent of the Tigers offense. He scored 69 percent of the touchdowns and was easily the MVP of this team. Michael Dyer and Onterio McCalebb, may make up for some of that missed yardage on the ground, but without a passing threat the defense can key on the backs and stack the box. That's if the team can stay away from off-the-field-distractions.
McCalebb, a junior from Fort Meade, Fla., spent almost 24 hours in the Dekalb County Detention Center after being arrested for driving without a license and driving without a tag and revalidation decal. While this may not seem like a big deal there is reason to believe this team will struggle on and off the field.
On defense Auburn will not be able to make up for the loss of Nick Fairley. They are still a talented team and a player like Jake Holland will be tough on defense, but overall they will be growing and learning this year.
The glaring reason why the Tigers will finish last is the brutal schedule.
Auburn 2011 Schedule and Results:
Sept. 3, 2011 Utah State
This is a victory for Auburn and it will give Auburn fans reason to believe that they can duplicate the championship run from a year ago. This is a façade and a meaningless game. The true Tigers will show up in the very next game. (W)
Sept. 10, 2011 Miss. State
The Tigers will be at home so expectations will be high, but for the first time this season the Tigers will be exposed on both ends of the ball. (L)
Sept. 17, 2011 at Clemson
Going on the road won't be a cure for the Tigers. Clemson is not the best team in college football, but they will be tough to beat at home. This game is a tossup and with that in mind, the edge goes to the home team. (L)
Sept. 24, 2011 Florida Atlantic
Finally the Tigers get another soft spot in the schedule and take their recent frustrations out on Florida Atlantic. They even the record at 2-2 with a lopsided victory. (W)
Oct. 1, 2011 at South Carolina
The Tigers will be looking for a statement win to prove that they can play with the big dogs in the SEC, but it won't be at South Carolina. Spurrier has no qualms about running up the score and will in this game. (L)
Oct. 8, 2011 at Arkansas
Three road games in four weeks and now Auburn has been exposed as a rebuilding team and any chances of repeating are now gone by the wayside. Auburn will have no answer for Knile Davis. (L)
Oct. 15, 2011 Florida
Florida will be very similar to Auburn this year and since this game is at Auburn the Tigers will keep it close, but lose yet again. (L)
Oct. 22, 2011 at LSU
Les Miles and a team that is poised to win the National Championship at home? No chance. (L)
Oct. 29, 2011 Ole Miss
Auburn finally gets back into the win column and they notch their first SEC win of the year against the Rebels. (W)
Nov. 12, 2011 at Georgia
The Tigers will be playing better as a unit this deep into the season, but don't expect a win in Georgia. The Tigers keep this one close but fall just short. (L)
Nov. 19, 2011 Samford
Finally the Tigers get an opponent they can flex against and they respond with a big win as they should. (W)
Nov. 26, 2011 Alabama
The Iron bowl is always a big game for the Tigers, but it gets even bigger when the Tigers realize it will be the only bowl game they see this season. Alabama has this game circled and they take it to the Tigers (L)
The Auburn predicted record for 2011 will be 4-8. While Auburn fans will debate some of the wins and losses, there is no hope for this team to return to the championship game and a BCS bowl is highly doubtful. The Tigers will be fighting to just become bowl eligible.

What's The Point?
Northwest Arkansas should move to the forefront in the effort to match mental health services with those who need it most.

Harry Shearer To Return To "The Simpsons"
Courtesy of the Image Comics Tumblr arrives what may end up being my favorite cosplay of Comic-Con International 2013: Alana and Marko from Brian K. Vaughan and Fiona Staples' Eisner-winning space opera Saga.
And if you're wondering, baby Hazel is actually a swaddled stuffed Pikachu, as you can see in the photo below. You can find a few more shots here.
The first two Walking Dead Compendium volumes have sold a combined 100,000 copies this year in bookstores, towering above the other titles on Nielsen BookScan's list of the Top 10 bestselling adult graphic novels for the first half of 2013. With a suggested price of $59.99, Image Comics' 1,088-page Compendium One is "by far" the most expensive book on BookScan's Top 200 chart for adult fiction.
Graphic novel sales have increased 10 percent year over year, which the company seems to attribute in no small part to the performance of the collections of the long-running comic by Robert Kirkman, Tony Moore, Charlie Adlard and Cliff Rathburn, and the popularity of the AMC television series.
Volumes of The Walking Dead accounted for four of the top five spots on the BookScan chart, a streak only interrupted by Masashi Kishimoto's Naruto, Vol. 60, at No. 4. In fact, six of the Top 10 graphic novels were held by Image books, with another volume of The Walking Dead claiming the No. 7 spot, and Brian K. Vaughan and Fiona Staples' Saga, Vol. 1, slipping into the final slot with 15,000 copies; the remaining books are manga.
According to BookScan, The Walking Dead books have sold more than 1 million unites in the past 18 months, with Compendium One seeing "a 47 percent week-to-week sales lift" that coincided with the Season 3 finale of the AMC series in March.
"I think the digital distribution revolution is maybe the best thing that's ever happened to mainstream comics. I really miss the days when you could find a comics spinner rack in every drug store, but now anyone who owns a mobile device can have their own personal spinner rack, and it's always stocked with every issue imaginable. I don't know if creators at other companies are privy to exactly how many digital copies their books are selling these days, but the statements Fiona and I get from Image are pretty staggering. I realize that's not true for every book, but the day when many titles start selling more digital copies than print copies is not years away, it's months away."
– Brian K. Vaughan, discussing digital comics in a new interview with Comic Book Resources about Saga and The Private Eye
The arrival today of the second collection of Saga, the hit space opera by Brian K. Vaughan and Fiona Staples, will be met with glee not only by readers following the Image Comics series in trade paperback but also by a good number of retailers — and Brian Hibbs in particular.
The owner of Comix Experience in San Francisco (and Comic Book Resources columnist) commented last week on our post about the first volume's strong performance in the direct market eight months after its debut, saying, that "Saga is, by far, our best-selling title." Hibbs expanded upon that last night on his own blog, revealing that Saga, Vol. 1, "is now my second-best selling title in the store's history of point-of-sale. Nearly seven years."
"It just passed into that spot a few days ago, where it passed the previous #2, The Walking Dead v1," he continued. "Understand, that is for sales of TWD v1 OVER THE LAST SEVEN YEARS. Uh, yeah. What's the most remarkable about Saga is that it steadily sells even at this point. When it crossed into #2 position, it was something like 243 copies sold in 248 days — even at this point, months and months after it first came out, we're still selling 5+ copies a week."
While some delight has already been taken in the debut of X-Men atop Diamond Comic Distributors' May sales chart — the title's all-female cast remains a magnet for rancor from some shadowy corners — the bigger story may be the long-term performance of the first Saga trade paperback.
ICv2 notes that the first volume of Brian K. Vaughan and Fiona Staples' space opera sold an estimated 7,552 copies in May, securing the No. 2 spot on the graphic novel chart, behind BOOM! Studios' Adventure Time: Playing With Fire. That in itself is pretty impressive, but that Saga collection was released eight months ago.
The Image Comics book has charted in the Top 10 in all but one of those months (it slipped to No. 13 in November); however, May's 7,552 copies represents a 65-percent increase from April, and the most in any month since January, when it sold 8,456 copies. In total, Saga, Vol. 1, has sold an estimated 53,000 copies in North American comic shops.
And that's only in the direct market: As ICv2 points out, Saga is creeping back up the BookScan chart for graphic novels sold in bookstores.
Saga's status as a hit and a long-term seller comes as no surprise, but that direct-market surge (65 percent!) and book-market uptick this far from the book's debut are certainly eye-openers. Is the boost a result of good word of mouth, the impending release of the second collection, or the widespread attention given to the merry mix-up in April, when it was erroneously announced that Issue 12 had been banned from the Apple App Store?
I'd place money on the latter (although word of mouth undoubtedly plays a significant role in the book's overall performance). Of course, we should never discount the contributions of Lying Cat …
The nominees have been announced for the 2013 Joe Shuster Awards, and faithful readers of Robot 6 will notice many familiar names on the list, including Fiona Staples, Brandon Graham, Jim Zubkavich, Ryan North and Darwyn Cooke. As you can see from that sampling, the nominees are broad in terms of styles and genres.
Named in honor of Superman co-creator Joe Shuster, the awards recognize the best of the Canadian comics world; nominees must be either Canadian citizens or permanent residents in Canada. The nominees are chosen by a committee and the winners by a jury, so there is no public vote. The awards will be presented Aug. 25 at a location to be announced later.
And with no further ado, here are the nominees:
• Isabelle Arsenault – Jane, le renard & moi (La Pastèque)
• Patrick Boutin-Gagné – Brögunn (Soleil)
• Stuart Immonen – All-New X-Men #1-4, AvX: VS #1, #6, Avenging Spider-Man #7, Secret Avengers #21 (Marvel Comics)
• Yanick Paquette – Swamp Thing #5, 7-9, 13-14 (DC Comics)
• Ramón K. Pérez – John Carter and the Gods of Mars #1-5, AvX:VS #6 (Marvel Comics)
• Fiona Staples – Saga #1-8 (Image Comics)
• Marcus To – Batwing #9-15, 0, The Flash #10,15, Huntress #4-6 (DC Comics)
I was only sort of watching Supernatural last night, which explains how I missed that geek-favorite actress Felicia Day wore a T-shirt featuring one of the best new character in recent comics history: Lying Cat from Brian K. Vaughan and Fiona Staples' Image Comics series Saga. Luckily a tipster at The Mary Sue was far more observant.
According to Day, the shirt was the idea of writer Robbie Thompson, and a particularly inspired one at that, considering her character Charlie Bradbury starts off her reunion with the Winchester brothers with a lie. (In case you're unfamiliar with Saga, Lying Cat is the enormous feline companion of the bounty hunter The Will who can detect whether anyone around her is being untruthful.)
Now the question is, where can fans get their hands on one of those shirts? Maybe at that weekday comic-book convention in Topeka, Kansas, that Charlie mentioned. Wait, no, that was a lie.
This week's new comic book releases included such noteworthy publications as the final issue of Paul Cornell and Ryan Kelly's drama based on UFO folklore, Saucer Country, the latest installment of Marvel's line-wide crossover-event series Age of Ultron, the one-issue return of some of Marvel's fan-favorite Runaways characters in the tie-in Ultron #1, the latest issue of the best superhero comic book on the stands, Hawkeye, and the final issue of the Mark Millar-written comic-as-movie pitch series Secret Service, maybe better known as "What Dave Gibbons has Been Up to While DC Published Before Watchmen." And those were just the serially published comic book-comics.
The comic I heard the most about this week by far, however, was Saga #12, the latest chapter in Brian K. Vaughan and Fiona Staples' deservedly popular space fantas. And the reasons this particular issue was so talked about? Early in the week it seemed as Apple had rejected it for distribution for a couple of images of gay sex (although Wednesday afternoon, comiXology CEO David Steinberger said the move was actually due to his company's mistaken interpretation of Apple policy).
I'm a somewhat-casual consumer of comics news these days, and yet I encountered iterations of this story over and over this week. And in the time between the story's initial reporting and Steinberger's clarification, I've seen stories on numerous comics news sites and the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund's blog. A Google News search for "Saga #12″ and "Apple" brings up 9,370 results, the top two being for The Washington Post and NPR, so obviously the mainstream media bit on the story as well.
Having actually read the comic book, though, the content that earned the mistaken, temporary pre-banning was so small and inconsequential, I probably would have missed it. (Note: Some images below may be not safe for work.)
Passings | The New Yorker cartoonist Ed Fisher has died at the age of 86. Mike Lynch has a nice appreciation, with a sampling of cartoons and links to other obituaries. Fisher was diagnosed with Alzheimer's in 2000, Lynch says, but even so, he often came to the New Yorker offices on "look day": "He would be sitting on the couch, in the cartoonists' waiting room, with his portfolio, ready to chat. I introduced myself and was really glad to meet him. More than once he pulled out his roughs and showed them to me. Ed treated me like an equal." [Mike Lynch Cartoons]
Legal | Palestinian cartoonist Muhammad Saba'aneh, who was detained by Israeli authorities in early March, has been sentenced to five months in jail and must pay a fine of 10,000 shekels. Saba'aneh was charged with contacting "enemy entities," according to his lawyer. He was originally arrested and held without specific charges, raising fears that he would be detained indefinitely. [FARS News Agency]
"Fiona and I could always edit the images in question, but everything we put into the book is there to advance our story, not (just) to shock or titillate, so we're not changing shit."
— writer Brian K. Vaughan, responding to Apple's rejection of this week's Saga #12 because of two panels depicting pretty explicit, if relatively small, images of gay sex (they're on Prince Robot IV's head-monitor). There's already debate online whether gay sex is Apple's issue, or whether it's explicit sex in general, but it's worth noting that the company apparently had no problems with the comic's previous obvious depictions of cunnilingus, and penetration (of the heterosexual variety, complete with erect penis), not to mention the assorted sex shots that left a little something to the imagination.
We'll not talk about that giant's pendulous scrotum, which has to be the most "explicit" thing to appear in Saga. Certainly the most disturbing.
Updated: ComiXology issued a statement saying that it, not Apple, rejected Saga #12.

If I had $15, I'd buy the leading contender for best ongoing series this year, Saga #10 (Image, $2.99). I loved the last issue focusing on the Will, but I'm excited at the prospect this one teases of Izabel returning – although in a red-tinged, seemingly evil demeanor. After that I'd get another creator-owned gem with Francesco Francavilla's The Black Beetle #2 (Dark Horse, $3.99). I love the latitude Dark Horse is giving Francavilla in the design packaging here – that cover is something special — and luckily, the insides have the promise of being even better given what happened last issue. Third and last in my $15 haul this week would be Dark Horse Presents #21 (Dark Horse, $7.99). Criminally underrated and consciously mind-blowing, this issue promises three new serials debuting plus a collaboration between Neil Gaiman and Paul Chadwick about alien saucers. Why isn't this a top-selling book?
If I had $30, I'd make it a Dark Horse trifecta with Conan the Barbarian #13 (Dark Horse, $3.50). How does Brian Wood do it, finding such great artists that no one else knows about like Mirko Colak? This time, Conan tries to conquer the desert. Then I'd do a Marvel trifecta: Avengers #6 (Marvel, $3.99), Nova #1 (Marvel, $3.99) and Thor: God of Thunder #5 (Marvel, $3.99). Avengers has seemingly the origin of my formerly most favorite D-list hero in the Marvel Universe, Captain Universe – until she upgraded to the A-list as an Avenger. Then Nova has a spirited, seemingly kid-friendly romp by Jeph Loeb and Ed McGuinness. Then Thor … Thor. This thoroughly dark and mythic story has made Jason Aaron's beard even more ominous than before.
If I could splurge, I'd get Alter-Ego #115 (TwoMorrows, $8.95). Normally a magazine about comics, in this issue they collect some lost gems – namely the stereoscopic comics (3-D!) – of the 1950s. 3-D glasses included, this issue contains work by Joe Simon, Jack Kirby, Joe Kubert, Curt Swan (!!), George Tuska and more. Truly a highlight of the week.

If I had $15, I'd start with Black Beetle #1 (Dark Horse, $3.99), Francesco Francavilla's pulp action hero who jumps into his own miniseries after a run in Dark Horse Presents. I'd also grab Threshold #1 (DC Comics, $2.99), which continues the story from last week's New Guardians annual, featuring a new Green Lantern and a whole bunch of cosmic DC characters. I'd also grab Comeback #3 (Image, $3.50), as I just got around to reading the first issue and really enjoyed it. They're doing some fun stuff with time travel that should make for a cool series. That leaves room for one more, which is a hard choice … but let's go with Indestructible Hulk #3 (Marvel, $3.99), because I love the new direction and take on the character and his status quo.
If I had $30, I'd also pick up Saga #9 (Image, $2.99) and Daredevil #22 ($2.99), because, well, Saga and Daredevil. I'm also really digging what Kelly Sue Deconnick is doing with the Avengers, so next I'd get Avengers Assemble #11 (Marvel, $3.99). Lastly, I'd grab Captain America #3 (Marvel, $3.99), as I'm really worried about Cap and the kid, and hope they come out of Zola's world OK.
Finally, for my spulrge, I'd go with the big Paul Pope book from Image, One Trick Rip-Off ($29.99).
It's Thursday afternoon as you're reading this, but it's still Wednesday night as I write it. Usually on Wednesdays, I work at my day job until 5 p.m., and then, after I shout "Yabba-dabba-doo!" and slide down the tail of my sauropod/steam shovel, I hop into my car and drive to my local comic shop and pick up a small stack of comic books. Then I return to my apartment and read them, and then I write brief reviews of them all for a weekly feature I post on my home blog and then I write my weekly post for Robot 6.
Wednesdays are, generally speaking, pretty busy days for me. This one's even busier than usual, as in addition to the above, I have a few extra writing assignments I need to finish before the end of the week and I still have two homemade Christmas presents for loved ones I need to finish putting together.
So then I had a brilliant idea! Well, an idea. Maybe instead of writing two blog posts tonight, one for Every Day Is Like Wednesday and one for Robot 6, I would just write my usual Wednesday-night blog post and put it here instead of there, thus killing two birds with one stone, as the saying, which was popularized back when people still killed birds with stones, goes.
Here then, are a few paragraphs about each of the new comic books I bought and read this Wednesday (now if only I could give blog posts as a Christmas gifts to my family members, the rest of this week would be pretty chill):
"Between the New 52, Before Watchmen, and Marvel Now!, 2012 has been an exhilarating year for mainstream comics, but none of these events have been as thrilling as the creative renaissance at Image Comics. High-profile launches from Jonathan Hickman, Ed Brubaker, and Brandon Graham have given readers riveting stories unlike anything at Marvel or DC, and these titles have expanded the publisher's brand to satisfy a more diverse audience. No new book has done that as well as Brian K. Vaughan and Fiona Staples' Saga, a science-fiction fantasy/war romance that's part Shakespeare, part Star Wars, and all awesome. […] Across Image's line, there's a confidence in the storytelling that stems from total creative freedom. With no editorial interference, these creators are able to create the exact type of books they want to see, from the story contents to the production quality. That complete control breeds fearlessness, and these writers and artists are putting out stories that fully exhibit their imaginations. They're paving new ground for the future of the industry. There's no reason for comic books to be so strongly defined by superheroes, and Image has taken huge strides to build a library of titles that offers as broad a selection of genres as prose, film, or television."
– The A.V. Club critic Oliver Sava, in his review of Saga #7 by Brian K. Vaughan and Fiona Staples

2003 Lincoln Navigator Q&A
2003 Lincoln Navigator Question: Turn signal blinks just a few times
Tried a new fuse and relay, both in the compartment to the right of the passenger seat, under the dash. No luck. All bulbs flash fine when I turn on the hazards. Is there another fuse box? - Lincoln Boulder
2 Answers
Answer 2
The fuse box behind the right kick panel is where the circuits are powered for the exterior lights. Possible multifunction switch problem. It's in the auxiliary relay box #3 behind the left side of the dash. The signal flasher and hazard flasher are one in the same, that's why I mentioned the multifunction switch, but no you didn't want to talk to me, so that's all you get. - ProfessorG

The front tire's rapid deflation wasn't too bad, the pucker factor only went to 9.5 on the 10 scale and I was able to scrub speed with the rear brake until I could slowly edge off the highway. Cagers honking like mad at me due to it being rush hour.
When the rear tire went flat a few weeks later at approximately the same speed (65 - 70mph) and area on a local highway the pucker factor went immediately to 12.5 on the scale. The tire jumped the rim, locked the wheel up and I understood very quickly what riding a bucking bronc must feel like. How I kept the bike upright is still a mystery. I'm running TyreGuardian in everything I have with tires and it works very well.

There are lots of cloth safe creams out there. If you search for PSA on the right, you'll find a PSA with a link to numerous safe creams. My favorite is Angel Baby Bottom Balm. Others I've tried are Boudreax's Green Tube, California Baby, and coconut oil. Many swear by coconut oil, I find it fairly useless. And the bottom balm is vastly superior to anything else I've tried.
I will presume that the stains were left by a greasy/petroleum/ointment type of cream. If so, you can scrub that out with blue dawn. The stains don't hurt anything, but if there is still cream left behind that could cause the diapers to repel, rather than absorb. It's safe to use the stained diaper, the only concern to me is the actual function.
there was just a thread about this....hope the link works
oh i guess it was older and just bumped...either way check it out.

Northern Essence Diaper Rash Salve. it smells like lemon and is amazing. It always cleared up DS's redness in one use, and a really bad rash in less than 48 hours. When DS was a newborn we put it on daily and I would call him my little lemon butt.
I got their Better Butter Cream in case we ever had a yeast rash. I ended up using it one day when I didn't have any of the diaper rash salve. Though it says you can use it with cloth diapers it did leave a stain and took a while to wash out. It didn't cause the diapers to leak, though, which is always the biggest concern.
Platinum ( . Y . ) Woo Hoo!
You have to use a cloth safe diaper cream or it could cause repelling instead of absorbtion on the diaper.
You can use a regular diaper cream, but then you have to use a liner in your diaper to protect your cloth diaper. I use the biodegradable flushable liners from Smart Snugs. You get 200 liners for $15. You can also use a strip of fabric like flannel as a barrier as well if you don't want to use the disposable liners when using a diaper cream.

The diaper rash cream you can get out of the diaper by washing with Dawn blue soap. It will break down the petroleum/grease based product.
For cloth diaper creams, you can either use any non-petroleum based cream or, if you want/need to use a petroleum based cream (they were the only ones that worked on my kids - Triple Paste is the best IMO), then put the cream on your LO's butt in a light/medium layer and then get baby powder and sprinkle a hefty amount on top of the area you put the diaper cream on. The baby powder will keep the cream sticking to LO's butt and not rubbing off onto the diaper.

Critical Review by Dwight Garner
SOURCE: "A Writer's Revolution," in Hungry Mind Review, No. 32, Winter, 1994, p. 23.
In the following review, Garner finds In the Time of the Butterflies "a worthy novel with a mixed palette of human emotions, but Alvarez has sketched too frequently with pastels."
Julia Alvarez is a dreamboat of a writer. Her language is fresh and economical. She zeros right in on piquant details. Best of all, her feeling for the complex chemistry between Latin American women (primarily groups of daughters) is a joy to behold. Her two novels—How the García Girls Lost Their Accents, and now, In the Time of the Butterflies—sit lightly on the lap. They're never less than bright and engaging.
Perversely enough, though, Alvarez's new novel is wonderful in ways that occasionally blunt its emotional impact. Based loosely on a true story, In the Time of the Butterflies is about four middle-class sisters of the Dominican Republic who, along with their husbands, helped overthrow the corrupt and violent dictatorship of Rafael Leonidas Trujillo. The revered Mirabal sisters were known by their code name, Las Mariposas—the Butterflies—and their politics cost them their lives. Three were assassinated in 1960, shortly before Trujillo's fall.
In the novel's postscript, Alvarez writes of her desire to humanize the Mirabals, who are "wrapped in superlatives" and have "ascended into myth" in the Dominican Republic. At this, she succeeds splendidly. The sisters—Patria, Minerva, Dede, and Maria Teresa—are each brought vividly to life. Alvarez tells their stories individually, in monologues and journal entries, and their voices are happily idiosyncratic.
The Mirabal house may be a place where, as Minerva notes, the young girls "had to ask permission for everything: to walk to the fields to see the tobacco filling out; to go the lagoon and dip our feet on a hot day; to stand in front of the store and pet the horses as the men loaded up their wagons with supplies." But it's also a house that brims with food and warmth and games, and as the girls grow they learn how much better their lives are than most people's under Trujillo's regime.
The girls' political and sexual awakenings, as often happens, coincide. There's a stunning scene in which Patria, while praying, finds her intense religious feelings crossing over into earthier regions: "My mouth, for instance, craved sweets, figs in their heavy syrup, coconut candy, soft golden flans. When those young men whose surnames have been appropriated for years by my mooning girlfriends came to the store and drummed their big hands on the counter, I wanted to take each finger in my mouth and feel their calluses with my tongue."
It's in this first half of In the Time of the Butterflies that the book seems most confident. Alvarez writes compellingly about growing up under a brutal political regime that squashed dissent and encouraged citizens to spy on their neighbors. (Alvarez's own family fled the Dominican Republic when she was ten.) It's only later, when the Mirabal sisters themselves become political, that the book sometimes seems less convincing.
When several of the sisters begin dating men with ties to the country's leftist resistance movements, they themselves get drawn in. Before long, the sisters are hiding weapons shipments, making homemade bombs, and "the whole family walked around in fear" of being found out.
These scenes are well sketched, but Alvarez doesn't provide enough background (factual or emotional) for them. Although we learn about the horrors of Trujillo's regime, the country's politics are not discussed in any depth. Worse, you get no clear sense of what attracts the girls to radical politics, beyond glamour and simple reactionary anger. One minute they are kissing boys behind shrubs; the next, they're whipping up Molotov cocktails.
Alvarez's prose is almost too willfully deft and playful to impart a sense of gravity and drama to these proceedings. You're let down emotionally, because you never quite feel the danger the sisters are in. The bad guys rarely seem more than self-important stooges, the equivalent of Keystone Cops, and the sisters' encounters with them feel almost like games. Later in the book, when the sisters and their husbands are imprisoned and treated badly, this problem is only exacerbated. Prison seems merely like a particularly shabby summer camp.
It's an old, creaky literary game, knocking a novelist for being too "writerly"—somehow too good at what she does. And Alvarez is far more than an air-dancing acrobat, shedding bright bits of fluff. On the basis of her first two books, she's shown a remarkable ability to climb inside the heads of her characters and distill complicated emotions into a sharp sentence or two. She's among America's finest young writers.
Here is a language of abundance; she sings hymns to the outsized joys and sorrows of quotidian existence. In In the Time of the Butterflies, however, her exuberance betrays her somewhat. This is a worthy novel with a mixed palette of human emotion, but Alvarez has sketched too frequently with pastels.

This step-by-step article shows you how to create two pie charts on one chart sheet in Excel 2000.
Pie charts show the relationship or proportions of the parts to the whole. This chart type is useful for emphasizing a significant element. Normally, a pie chart contains one data series. If you select more than one data series when you create a pie chart, only one data series is displayed. In Microsoft Excel 2000, it is possible to specify a two-series pie chart by defining the chart as a combination chart. By defining the chart as a combination chart, two separate charts are created and each chart can be formatted separately. This article describes how to format both the main and the overlay charts as pie charts.
By defining the chart as a combination chart and formatting both the main and overlay charts as pie charts, Excel plots one chart over the other one so that only one chart is displayed.
To work around this behavior, add a temporary value to both series before plotting the charts, and then explode the slice of the pie that represents the temporary value. By exploding the slice, you reduce the size of the entire pie and expose the bottom chart.
Create Two Pie Charts in OneTo create two pie charts on one chart sheet, follow these steps:
For more information about how to create charts, click Microsoft Excel Help on the Help menu, type create a chart in the Office Assistant or the Answer Wizard, and then click Search to view the topic.

Spring Airlines is looking at the possibility of launching long-haul low-cost services, to tap on the growing appetite of Chinese seeking to travel internationally.
A source familiar with the airline's plan tells Flightglobal the idea of launching long-haul operations "has been in consideration for a number of years" and that "it is logical" for the carrier to make such a move.
The airline has identified Europe and the United States as possible long-haul destination it could serve from its hub in Shanghai, but this would be subjected to slot availability and regulatory approval, says the source.
He lets on that the airline has been approached by lessors to place Airbus A330s in its fleet, but that Spring is also looking at Boeing widebodies.
The Chinese low-cost carrier also launched Spring Airlines Japan this August, operating a fleet of three Boeing 737-800s out of Tokyo Narita International airport to three domestic destinations.
Flightglobal's Ascend Fleet database shows that as of 27 August, Spring operates 43 Airbus A320s, and has another five on order. Operating mostly domestic services, the carrier also flies internationally to Japan, South Korea, Thailand and Singapore.

First, this card is absolutely
quieter and cooler
than my 295, without a doubt. It idles at 44°C which is about what any 200 series card idles at.
Furmark, which made my previous card hit the high 90's or higher at 100% fan speed, got no higher than 85°C @ 100% fan speed, and 90°C @ 85% fan speed. Furmark is also the worst case scenario that your card will ever see.
I looped the Heaven 2.0 benchmark for about 30 minutes and at the end the highest temp was 81°C @ 75% fan speed.
Crysis, which regularly hit high 80's on my last card at max fan speed, hit a max of 79°C @ 77% fan speed, which is incidentally the level at which i can finally hear the fan ramp up.
Battlefield: BC 2 hit a max of 77°C @ 73% fan speed.
Real Temp shows
difference in my CPU temps from my last card to this card. It hasn't increased my case temps a single bit.
As I mentioned before, my case is a pretty typical case, with only four fans. I have a PC Power and Cooling 910 PS, X58 SLI mb, i7 920 @ 3.8ghz, 6 gig of DDR3 @ 1600mhz, two HD's and a DVD drive. The fan on the 480 has to ramp up to 77% before i can even hear it over the rest of my computer. My case sits about 2 feet to the right of me and below on a little shelf in my computer table designed for this so maybe that helps. I also like to keep my house nice and cool, so it's a comfortable 72°C in here right now, which is how it will stay until next winter.
Are these cards as cool and quiet as Ati's latest offerings? Not by a long shot, but they aren't really any worse than the last generation of Nvidia cards either. People have blown this so far out of proportion it's ridiculous.
Anyone who had no problems with Nvidia's last generation of video cards (200's) will have absolutely no problem with the 400 series of cards either.
Thanks for the feedback.
Damn, one test I did not include was setting the fan speed manually without using a 120mm fan to provide additional cooling. I'll be sure to provide a follow-up by manually setting the fan speed and then running Furmark.
Keep in mind that my tests were with the side of the case open.

I looked on the forum and couldnt see an answer to this yet.
Firstly I understand already that in the internet sharing I can share a ethernet internet connection.
BUT I have a wifi only connection in my apartment which allows just 1 user so can only connect 1 macbook/iphone/laptop at a time.
I wanted to know how I could share my Wifi using my macbook, ie make my macbook a wifi hotspot -noting the it is recieving internet from wifi already.Windows 7 can do this using connectify, so I am sure us Macbook'ers should have a way.
any ideas or help will be great!

You can share the WiFi connection via a LAN cable with another machine.
Unless there's a 3rd-party hack out there, I'm not so sure you can do what you're looking to do.

I am aware i can share a ethernet connection but i dont have an ethernet connection as described above
cool so i get you cannot share wifi while connected using wifi- ie using 1 adapter as you can do on windows 7 with connectify.
my following question is thus
so what if i got another wifi adapter- ie a usb external wifi adapter.
hence i am connected to wifi and also sharing it as a hotspot to the other devices that need it.

You cannot share WiFi over WiFi with one computer, but you can with two. All you have to do is connect one computer to your WiFi and share it over bluetooth. Then, connect the second computer to the first one with bluetooth, and use it to share Internet via WiFi from bluetooth. <b>Remember, this only works if you have two computers.</b>

"...You cannot share WiFi over WiFi with one computer...". That seems to be a rather severe limitation of the Mac OS , I'm not sure why Apple did this, or, well, why they haven't changed it yet... because Windows CAN do this.
Just an FYI... I'm a Mac Newbie... I've only had my MacBook Pro for a couple months now, I'm still getting used to the differences between Windows and Mac OS... so my apologies in advance for anything I may say that sounds, ummm, 'stupid' to a seasoned Mac user... I'm just not there yet.
Ok... so that said... WiFi to WiFi, ( using one and only one WiFi Card ), is completely possible to do on a Windows box.... heck, I can even do it on my MacBook Pro while boot-camped into Windows... so I know dang well it's not a hardware limitation, as the WiFi card in the Mac completely supports this.
Sooooo... does anyone know how to get Mac OS X to do this? And if it's not possible, does anyone have any idea why Apple's OS is incapable of this? That seems like a really poor design on Apple's part.
But then again... ( and really a different topic )... perhaps this sort of oversight may be par for the course for Apple? I mean come on, Mac OS makes creating a simple TXT file a whole lot harder than it should be, ( Windows = right click, new, text file ), why do you have to hunt down the TXT app in Mac? Then there's Remote Desktop Connections. Mac makes that way way too difficult as well... that's something that you just get for free on Windows boxes.... who the heck wants to pay extra for a program to do that on a Mac, or worse, have to use some hokey service "via the cloud" to do a direct RDC to another machine. It kinda baffles me why the Mac die-hards, ( i.e. the Mac Power Users ), put up with that and don't complain to Apple to build it into the OS.
My apologies for the side rant there... would appreciate any info on the WiFi to WiFi though. Please do feel free to beat me up a little bit if you like... I'm still learning.... just please don't kick me too hard.
FYI: I'm not an Apple basher, nor a Windows fan-boy either... I like the Mac OS, I like Windows too... they each have there strong suits, and, it really comes down to individual taste as well....so I'm not trying to bad mouth Apple... so far I like the OS... just seems to be some things that should be easier\more intuitive by now.

No one here is going to beat you up as we don't allow that. You won't need your flame retardant suit. This is not UseNet.
Many of us are Windows owners and users in addition to owning and using a Mac and many of us have come over from the "dark side". We even have members of our forums who are professional Windows administrators or work in IT.
OK, now to answer your question: I'm going to provide some links you can browse instead of going thru a long explanation.
That should give you enough to chew on for awhile. If you need more info on the subject, break out your Google Hat and search.
Have fun with your new MacBook Pro and if we can answer any more of your questions, feel free to post and ask.

I've actually seen those links... and also done a fair amount of digging\searching on the subject as well, to which no [good] answer has ever been given. There are A LOT of people\posts all over the web looking to do this very thing... share a WiFi to WiFi connection from the Mac to their Mobiles..... but, nobody ever answers how to do it, or, why this is not possible to do using Mac OS when it's totally able to be done on a machine running Windows.
Instead, almost everyone heads straight for the default\copout answer of "...a WiFi connection cannot be both in use and shared at the same time...". This statement couldn't be further from the truth, as can be seen using almost any recent version of Windows. From those kinds of statements I can only conclude one of two things... either:
a.) The folks answering that way have no clue what they're talking about and have obviously never seen it actually working on a machine running Windows, or...
b.) The Mac OS was never designed to do this, and as such... the Mac OS is just not capable of hosting a WiFi Network while simultaneously using the same WiFi card for its own internet\WiFi usage.
The only thing any of the links ever show you how to do is configure a WiFi Access Point using a NON-WiFi, ( Ethernet, BlueTooth, etc. ), connection. The very instant anyone points out that wasn't an answer to the original question asked, and could someone please respond with how to create a hosted Wireless network while the machine is actually using the WiFi Card for it's own network... the responses almost immediately come back with "... it's not possible to do that...", which again... is complete rubbish.
Anyway....all that said... does anyone know how to actually get the Mac OS to host a WiFi Network while simultaneously using the same WiFi Card for it's own network connection? If Windows can do it, especially when boot-camped into Windows on a Macbook, ( meaning the hardware is not the issue ), then why the heck can't the Mac OS do this?
Thanks again.

Here's another one: NO. You can share an LTE/3G connection and create a Wi-Fi hotspot, no problem.
You can share an Ethernet connection and create a Wi-Fi hotspot. No problem.
You can't share the Wi-Fi you are using to make a Wi-Fi hotspot because logic. Why would your other devices need to share a Wi-Fi hotspot when they can, themselves, connect to the same Wi-Fi you're using?

It's not that it can't be done... Windows is absolutely able to do this, there's no question what so ever about that, and no way to argue that it can't, because Windows can do this. I believe I've seen threads where Linux users have stated that they've been able to do this as well... which means it boils down to being a limitation of the Mac OS... so I'll just end it at that and stop beleaguering the point, as well as stop bothering everyone with the question.
Regarding the question of:
"Why would your other devices need to share a Wi-Fi hotspot when they can, themselves, connect to the same Wi-Fi you're using?"I suppose there could be many reasons; some legitimate, and some....questionable.
One reason is to use the machine's WiFi connection, ( since the Macbook doesn't have an RJ45 port built in ... and why go out and buy a dongle when you have WiFi already built in? ), to create a simple Firewall\Access Point that you can 'hide' your other devices behind when joined to a public network... basically turning it into a simple NAT.
There are also post on forums where folks are looking to share a hotel's network connection, ( apparently some still charge per device connected... wow, seriously? ), hence, they wish to join one machine via WiFi, and then redistribute the pc hosted network to their family members during their stay. Another reason I've seen a lot people wanting this sort of thing for is to work around their mobile phone carrier's imposed tethering fees. There are a lot of people out there who feel they should either be charged for a tethering plan with X amount of data, which would be the person's choice to do... or, buy a more expensive plan with unlimited data... but, they feel if they do the latter, they should not also be required to pay an additional tethering fee... so those people are doing it for that reason.
Whether or not those last two reasons are legitimate, ( I can understand both sides point of view ), they are topics of much debate on many forums... but that's for those people to sort out, although the debates \ arguments can be quite interesting to read.
Anyway... that said, I'll shut up now and stop with the question.
Thanks again all for the responses, pointers, and tips.... as well as for putting up with me too.

Another relative noob here - I've been (mostly enjoying) using a Mac since 2007 but am by no means technical. I just thought I would bring this post back to life to see if there is, as yet, a solution to BarryT's perfectly reasonable request. Can we simultaneously connect to and share WiFi from one card or is the OS still limited in this way?
In response to chas_m's reply, is the fact that this post exists (alongside many others like it on the Internet) not demonstration of precisely why the WiFi to WiFi question needs answering.
In my case it is simply to act as a booster - my partner wants to work outside and enjoy the weather but the WiFi doesn't reach there from the router (probably because of a rogue wall. I wanted to facilitate her working in her place of choice by, in effect, repeating the signal for her from a place where I have strong signal and clear line-of-sight to her laptop.
It seems a shame that I'd have to install Windows on my Macbook (or, perhaps, spend my Easter holiday knocking down and moving the offending wall ) in order to use this seemingly basic functionality, of which the hardware is demonstrably capable.
Seems a quick win to me... maybe this is classic Apple holding back features to justify yet another upgrade? Either way, I look forward to Apple sorting this one.

Learning for the Right Reasons Commitment to Individual Purpose

An essay by Sha'Tara, local writer and friend.
Learning for the Right Reasons – Commitment to Individual Purpose
[thoughts from ~burning woman~ by Sha'Tara]
"At first, you learn for the sake of learning. Eventually, you start learning for the right reasons." Paraphrased from "THE 97th STEP" by Steve Perry.
The question embodied in this quote is, "What is learning for the right reasons?" Indeed, how is one to know when one is learning for the right reasons? What could constitute a "right reason" to learn anything? For that matter, how do we know that we are learning anything, if "learning" means functional retention of the implied lesson? Of course, mostly subconsciously we "learn" all the time but that is behavioral patterning; brain programming: not the kind of learning the statement above is addressing. What we are talking about here is spiritual and mental learning in order to become a better person in areas of awareness giving one the ability to choose some particular arena of "work" so to speak. So what we are talking about is commitment to purpose – that translating as "learning for the right reasons."
You see? Brings us right back to the issue of purpose. And that brings us to contemplate our humanity (or lack thereof) for only a human mind (or some such high-functioning spirit-mind entity) can meaningfully contemplate life. Contemplation (not to be confused with meditation) means traveling the past and the future as well as traversing more than one plane of existence simultaneously. It means to have the power to see at least some of whatever lies beyond the veil we must normally exist behind. More importantly it means the ability to intelligently engage whatever the mind encounters in these travels. Probably not what most Earthians "entertain" themselves with and likely why nothing ever changes here, but there are exceptions to every rule and maybe, just maybe, someone reading this may recognize a similarity of mind expression, thus establishing another link outside the constraints of Matrix programming. Small moves...
Everyone is born with a purpose. "What is your purpose?" should be the first question asked of every child on the first day of school and that goes without saying! That should then become the on-going quest of every Earthian as it drives itself to become a full-fledged human being. But wait: why struggle for something the System says you already are and which you accept despite all evidence to the contrary? Here we come across the same problem as in religion: if God has already given you [heaven] and/or [salvation] then why should you struggle any longer? It's a done deal; your religious faith the guarantee of God's golden handshake upon retirement. That tops any CEO's retirement settlement benefits and perks.
So it is with the belief that the people of earth are de-facto human by virtue of being born! But not surprisingly, what are the vices that cause some people to label others "inhuman" in their activities? Well, let's see. The dictionary says of inhuman: not human, esp. not having the qualities normal to or for human beings; unfeeling, heartless, cruel, barbarous, etc. According to the thesaurus, taking only the main ones: fierce, ruthless, savage, beastly, mechanistic, pitiless, remorseless, unkind, unnatural, unspeakable. Therefore to claim membership in the human mind, one must be the exact opposite to these stated inhuman characteristics. Not qualitatively, but perfectly, completely, no exception.
Of course, that they may never realize this truth, Earthians are programmed with a very elastic conscience which allows for some or all of these inhuman traits to exist, even flourish, within all of them – using the comparative method: providing it can be said that "others" or "the enemy" possesses same in quantitatively or qualitatively higher degrees. The lesser of evils: a very convenient abstraction.
But what if the presence of even a speck of one of these inhuman traits determined that one is not human? What if being human is as unique a nature as, say, being a maple tree? If you climb a maple and you find it growing a willow branch or two and its top sporting that of a spruce or pine, you would have some doubts about the true nature of that tree, wouldn't you? Well, that is exactly how it is with being a human. It's a completely new nature that has outgrown and then purged itself of any remnant of those inhuman traits or vices. This is definitely one area where no one gets to have their cake and eat it too.
That being said, how many of the above inhuman traits do we find in daily life? How many people do we personally know who enjoy doing harm in some way or other, usually for the pleasure or self-satisfaction they derive from it? Example, an easy one: destroying nature with off-road vehicles and polluting the environment with unnecessary noise, for starters? Our streets and rivers are becoming saturated with sociopathic individuals whose only enjoyment in life appears to be creating noise and causing mayhem. What about those who kill for personal pleasure: hunters and fishermen so-called, who scour the last remaining areas of wilderness and open waters to torture and kill the "wildlife" trying to survive there? What about those who enjoy participating in, and being spectators of, violent sports? What about those who cheat the System, who steal from fellow workers or "the company" and think it a bonus when they get away with it? What about those who break traffic laws as if doing so had become their God-given right? What about parents who fail to dutifully discipline their children and teach them, by words and example, to become responsible members of society? What about addicts who cause so much pain to loved ones and acquaintances and who become a burden to society while continuing to indulge their cravings? What about those who buy "stuff" they do not need, thus contributing to the deterioration of the environment in untold ways, or those who buy these useless "idols" on credit knowing they will never be able to repay their loans?
Now then, what about the lesser and greater criminals, those who rob homes, steal cars, rape and murder their victims; the drug cartels and crime syndicates? What about those at the apex of the pyramid of crime, the crème de la crème of criminal attainment who manipulate global financial systems for personal profit, destroying national economies, bankrupting entire countries and causing unimaginable loss, pain and suffering that add up to hundreds of millions of victims each year? Continuing with inhuman vices, dare we look at our leadership whose extravagant lifestyles based entirely on lies, subterfuge, extortion in the guise of taxes and the taking of bribes from lobbyists, contribute to society's downfall and lead inexorably and always, to war? Is there a more abominable example of inhumanity than planned and executed organized mass murder? How many do you see everyday who proudly and oh, so ignorantly parade around with "Support Our Troops" stickers on their vehicles? Indeed, what does all that have to say about man being human?
A human society certainly would never need a police or other "security" force of any kind, least of all a military. It would never, ever plan to abuse, oppress, dispossess or murder others for its own benefit, "safety" or pleasure. So the conclusion is indisputable: Earthians are not human, whatever they may be. My Teachers call them pseudo-human; pseudo meaning spurious, counterfeit. The thesaurus lists many synonyms for this word, but the closest to what the Teachers mean is the word "unnatural." Earth man is an unnatural creature/entity/being; a repressive, sociopathic predator, making even his predatory ways unnatural.
That's the harsh, undeniable truth. There are, however, concealed, seldom used paths that lead out of this quagmire of inhuman behaviour. These paths are treacherous and so narrow they leave only room for one to walk there. You cannot have company on any of those paths and if you find one wide enough to allow for two or more side by side, be sure that this particular path is an "official" one and will lead you right back to the level you started from, even if you walk it diligently for an entire lifetime!
These dangerous, lonely paths are called purpose. One need not be able to see to the end of it, one only need to choose and then... walk. No Earthian counselor, guru, teacher, friend or lover will be of any use or comfort on any personally chosen path. This is what is required: commitment, self-discipline, patience, humility, compassion for those who cannot understand and consequently will not change. This develops self-empowerment through self-reliance. On this path your thoughts must become your own, even when inspired or triggered by something someone else says, or does. You must make your entire life, entire reason for being, your own and go from there. What is not from within has no place on this path and even the greatest wisdom or the most admirable life encountered in history, or observed in time, will destroy your will power if you do not make it your own.
The path will teach you who you are and once you know that (achieved through purpose, which brings us to "learning for the right reasons") then you know what to do. If you fail to find yourself; if you do not discover the truth of your self, you remain a slave to whatever is externally moving you and you are still lost. Some force other than yourself will find you and while claiming to save you, will once again enslave you to the tick-tock mechanistic false-survival motion of the Matrix.
Question often asked: how do I know I'm on the path? Answer: if your chosen purpose isn't utterly absorbing you, if it isn't "you" twenty-four-seven, you are not on it, in it, of it. Whatever you're on, in or at, it's not what "commitment to purpose" is. Here's hoping this clarifies some things I've said about faith, hope and love in the past, without sounding too preachy. The intent is to help trigger or awaken new thought patterns, not to preach – or teach for that matter.

Healthy Schools: A Major Front in the Fight for Environmental Justice
Neal, Daria E., Environmental Law

EPA Can Play an Effective Role By Aggressively Pursuing Enforcement Actions Against Regulated Facilities Near Schools F. Federal Action is Appropriate and Required IV. POLICY RECOMMENDATIONS V. CONCLUSION.
Public schools are under constant attack for "failing" America's children. Whether it is criticism of teachers, parents, or administrators, there seems to be a general malaise when it comes to the future of public schools. This can be attributed, in part, to the physical conditions of our schools. Many schools are in desperate need of repair, with lead paint, asbestos, pesticides, and poor ventilation systems prevalent in the nation's schools. Additionally, in an effort to build "better" schools in urban areas, new schools are often sited near polluting industrial facilities. Both scenarios negatively impact the health of children.
Environmental justice, at its very heart, is about the right of all people to live in environmentally healthy communities. Children spend the majority of their formative years in schools. If the schools are in poor condition or located near toxic facilities or on contaminated sites, the health and well being of their students are in jeopardy. A growing number of families are opting to send their children to private school for quality facilities as well as academics. Those that cannot afford the alternative are left to send their children to public schools that can and will make them sick. Because attending school is legally mandated, federal and state governments have a duty to ensure the environmental conditions in and surrounding schools do not negatively impact the health of students.
The environmental justice movement addresses a broad range of issues including transportation equity, fair housing, zoning regulations, and community planning. In the middle of each area of concern lies a school. Schools are located where people live, near roads, and near businesses, both industrial and commercial. The goal of environmental justice is to ensure equal protection of all people from environmental hazards and eliminate the disproportionate burden low-income and minority communities presently bear. We must look at the environmental health of our schools and develop aggressive and creative ways to ensure our children are sent to learn in facilities that do not threaten their lives. Furthermore, in recognition of continued systemic housing segregation, guaranteeing clean schools will have a ripple effect on the surrounding community.
The issue of dilapidated schools has become increasingly persuasive in school equity and school adequacy litigation. In this Article, equity and adequacy litigation will be analyzed for their effectiveness as tools for environmental justice. Although schools throughout the country suffer from unsatisfactory environmental conditions, according to a 1996 General Accounting Office report the largest number of such schools are in cities "serving 50 percent or more minority or 70 percent or more poor students." (l) Furthermore:
[O]ver 38 percent of schools in central cities reported at least one inadequate building, 9 percentage points higher than schools located in the urban fringe of large cities. …
