It is not the first time it has happened and it will not be the last. But it should be.
Three members of the Bullitt Fiscal Court voted against a small increase in the real property tax rate. Two members voted in favor.
The initial consensus is that the public would find disfavor in County Judge Melanie Roberts and magistrate David Walker for voting to increase the property tax by $2 for a $100,000 home.
But we beg to differ.
It was discussed over five years ago and it has finally been accomplished by the Shepherdsville Police Department.
The agency has been designated as one of about 90 departments in Kentucky to have met the 167 standards for accreditation.
It has taken a while as administrations have changed, as well as leadership of the department. But the Kentucky Association of Police Chiefs bestowed the honor upon the department on Monday night in a ceremony before the city council.
Relishes and pickles are a great way to enjoy summer's bountiful array of fruits and vegetables long after the season is over.
Pickling should not just be limited to cucumbers. Peaches, green tomatoes, okra, squash, and beans can also be pickled for a delightful addition to any meal. Spiced apples, muscadines, and crabapples and corn, pepper and pears can be used to make relishes. Quick-process pickled fruits and vegetables are easy to make and the many flavor combinations can add a lot of variety to meals.
Kentucky Office of Highway Safety issues tough reminder to public: If you are over the limit you will be under arrest!
Unfortunately drunk driving is nothing new in Kentucky, and nationally is still one of America's deadliest crimes, killing more than 13,000 people each year.
In Kentucky last year, there were approximately 6,000 alcohol-related crashes, resulting in over 2,200 injuries and 182 deaths.
FRANKFORT - The Kentucky Office of Highway Safety (KOHS), an agency of the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet, is joining state and local law enforcement agencies in an effort to reduce impaired-driving crashes over the Labor Day weekend.
The holiday crackdown coincides with the state's "Drunk Driving. Over the Limit. Under Arrest" campaign, which began Aug. 21 and ends on Labor Day.
Maybe it is the fact that my son is just weeks away from getting his driver's license.
Or maybe it is from writing too many stories detailing death coming much too early for too many youths in our community.
The old belief that the young is indestructible is nothing but a myth.
Just ask the families of Preston Cissell, Jason Smith and R.D. Reynolds.
The community lost each of these young men in the recent couple of months. They were lost in different ways but they were all lost much too early in their lives.

ROCKY MOUNTAIN NATIONAL PARK — Sens. Mark Udall and John McCain strolled somberly through a meadow Monday inspecting beetle-killed pines, lamenting the damage of global warming and pledging their bipartisan support for nuclear power as part of the solution.
As part of an August congressional recess tour of the West, Udall, a Colorado Democrat, and McCain, an Arizona Republican, then held a formal Senate hearing in the Estes Park town hall. They took testimony detailing the changes scientists are studying here and in other national parks.
But none of the testimony hit home quite like seeing the browning of the trees. Udall and McCain say action to address climate change must be the next major priority after health care.
Climate Change Meeting
"All you have to do is look around and see the trees that are dying because of the pine beetle," McCain said, standing with Udall and with Longs Peak visible behind them.
President Barack Obama must put forth a White House plan as soon as possible that congressional leaders can debate, McCain said.
"The president, or administration, would be better able to negotiate" with the likes of China and India at an upcoming international summit in Denmark, he said, "if we had some kind of agreement."
While McCain long has supported nuclear power as part of a strategy to cut heat-trapping carbon emissions, Udall previously had hesitated.
"I agree with Sen. McCain that nuclear power has to be part of the mix," Udall, chairman of the Energy and Natural Resources Committee's subcommittee on National Parks, said Monday in the meadow. "It is clear that if we want to respond to climate change, nuclear power has to be part of the solution."
Later in an interview, Udall said his support includes emphasis on safety by improving the Nuclear Regulatory Commission and issuance of mining permits. Udall also noted that a project to store nuclear waste at Yucca Mountain in Nevada appears to be "a dead project."
At some point, he said, "you have to have a geologic depository that is safe."
The hearing Monday — following Udall and McCain's two-day weekend swing through Grand Canyon National Park — focused not on the complexities of "cap-and-trade" legislation and energy policy but rather on using national parks as "canaries" to signal specific changes and convey them in a way that mobilizes tens of millions of Americans.
About 100 residents attended the hearing, where experts from the National Center for Atmospheric Research, the National Park Service and other institutions warned that human activities are disrupting natural processes.
Diseases and beetles that thrive in warmer temperatures have killed more than 2.5 million acres of lodgepole, ponderosa and limber pine forests in Colorado, said Alice Madden, climate-change coordinator for Gov. Bill Ritter.
Colorado's ski industry, firefighters and the ability to deliver water to other states as promised all might be compromised soon, Madden said.
"Colorado is going to have to come to grips with conserving water," she said.
Beyond Colorado, some of the nation's 58 national parks might become unrecognizable, said Stephen Saunders, president of the Rocky Mountain Climate Organization and former overseer of national parks under then-President Bill Clinton.
"Glacier National Park could lose all its glaciers," Saunders said. "Joshua Tree National Park could lose all its Joshua trees, and Saguaro National Park could lose all its saguaros."

High Grade (PR66) 1871 Seated Quarter Pattern, Judd-11001871 25C Quarter Dollar, Judd-1100, Pollock-1236, R.6-7, PR66 Brown NGC. On this pattern, the Longacre design for the Standard Silver series is seen with stars around the obverse, and is paired with the regular dies reverse of 1870. This design was apparently implemented by William Barber as Longacre died suddenly on New Year's Day of 1869. Struck in copper with a reeded edge. Deeply reflective in the fields, the surfaces display a warm brown patina with much underlying rose and violet patina. An exceptionally attractive and problem-free example of this pattern, of which only about half a dozen are believed known. (PCGS# 61359)

Last week I was invited to a Christmas carol service hosted by a local law firm and held at Shrewsbury School.
It was a beautiful service in an atmospheric setting and lessons were read by members of the firm's staff.
As you might expect, I spent most of my time trying to detect nerves and apprehension in those reading the lessons and I have to say they all did a fantastic job of masking their butterflies and delivered their readings beautifully but it reminded me how, at this time of year, many of us find ourselves roped in to reading in church or at a seasonal gathering of some kind and so I thought I would share my top 5 public speaking tips for Christmas, guaranteed to make you feel more confident when your time comes to stand up and perform.
1. Preparation. Take time to familiarise yourself with the text. Not just by reading to yourself but by reading aloud in the privacy of your own room, bathroom or hilltop. Read aloud to the dog or cat if needs be but take time to hear what the words sound like when read aloud.
2. More Preparation. Format a version of the text in a large clear font (extra large if like me you need reading glasses to see pretty much anything these days), and print onto lightweight card or laminated paper. Rigid card moves less in a nervous pair of hands.
3. Don't Forget to Breathe. As you walk to the lectern/stage/front of house pull yourself up to your full height and breath deeply to get as much oxygen into your system as possible. Feeling nervous can cause us to feel light headed too so the more deep breaths you can manage the better.
4. At The Lectern. Arrange your papers neatly and pause. Allow the audience time to stop fidgeting and, more importantly, allow yourself that last moment to compose yourself. Don't feel the need to rattle through the reading or speech. Take your time. This stuff is important.
5. Pitch, Pace and Pause. During the reading drop your voice slightly (a bit like you might do when speaking on the telephone) nerves often make us speak in a higher pitch so try to unleash your inner Joanna Lumley or Anthony Hopkins (showing my age there). Slow things right down from the start, it's almost impossible to read something too slowly in fact the slower you read the more impact each word with have and remember to pause and the end of each sentence. This gives you time to breathe and allows the audience time to process what you just said.
If you allow yourself to remember all of the above you will not only deliver a great reading or speech but I suspect you might just find you enjoy the whole process and that's a very nice feeling indeed.
Wishing you a very merry Christmas and a peaceful new year.

I think y'all should defiantly give it a shot!!
But if y'all do date…..keep it on the down low for a while. Like, make it obvious that you like her and she likes you. But not enough for people to know y'all are together. Then if everything goes good, tell the world :)
Oh, and if it starts to feel weird and stuff, just promise each other that y'alll will go back to being friends
Hope I helped :)

So if I was you, then I would contact a mutual friend. Explain the situation to them, and then get the friend to like jokingly hint to your crush that you guys are something more. Get the friend to say stuf like: "you're gonna marry (your name) to your crush. If she denies it then it's nkow skin off your back, and if she laughs it off then perhaps build up the courage to write a letter explaining how you feel for her.
Letters always say it better as they're more personal and convey more meaning.
Good luck, things always work out in the end :)

answered Tuesday October 25 2011, 10:15 am:
Well you have to figure out what is more important having a relationship or the friendship? I know you really like her but it sounds like the friendship means a lot more to you. I've asked out many of my guy friends and it hasn't always worked out. Sometimes they got so weird they would stop talking to me. People take things differently I guess but it could be that if you do say something she might be unsure. Have you casually brought it up saying something like "I had a dream last night that we were together" and seeing what she says. You shouldn't be scared or anything its not like you're planning on stalking her or anything. I'm sure you'll figure out something and when you do you'll be happy with your decision I'm sure.

* The last Airport bus leaves Incheon at 22:30. If you miss the last bus, please call us so that we can help you.
After leaving Customs and Immigration, find an Information desk and ask for directions to bus number 6011. It should be departing the airport from stop 5B or 12A.
Before the bus arrives, an attendant will ask you where you are going, put a sticker on your luggage, and hand you a claim ticket.
When the bus arrives, tell the driver you are going to SungKyunKwan.
(Just after Changkyunggung, please let me off at SungKyunKwan station.
The bus costs 10,000 won, which you can pay with cash or a T-Money card.
Aboard the bus, sit near the front and look for the 'Stop' button above your head. The bus only stops if someone pushes that button, so listen carefully for 'SungKyunKwan', and press the button when you hear it. The stop will be a little more than an hour away from the airport.
*** If you get confused or think you have missed your stop, ask the driver: 'SungKyunKwan?' He will hopefully speak English or be able to motion that the stop is farther ahead.
As you get off the bus, hand your claim ticket to the driver and collect your bags.
Cross the five lane street, toward the Dunkin' Donuts (dark red sign).
Walk down the two-lane street, with the Dunkin' Donuts on your left and Daiso on your right, for about 2 minutes (500 feet/150 meters).
*** If you pass a University on your left, you've gone too far.
On your right, you will see an Isaac Toast (red sign) and a chicken restaurant named 'Cucurucu' (yellow sign). Turn right between these.
Walk less than a minute (100 feet/30 meters), and you will see our building on your left. Look for our yellow 'Inside' sign over the door.
Come up to the second floor and come inside. You have arrived! (If you are checking into a Deluxe ensuite room, you can leave your luggage downstairs.)
*** Take your shoes off when you come inside, Please.
[By Subway from Incheon Airport]
Take Line 4 (the light-blue line) to Hyehwa station, six stops Northeast of Seoul Station.
At Hyehwa station, take exit 4.
At the top of the steps of exit 4, you will be on a one-lane road with many shops. The Face Shop & Starbucks on your left. Walk straight ahead for about 3 minutes (600 feet/180 meters). On your right, you will pass a movie theatre CGV and Look Optical (a three-story eyeglasses shop).
At the end of the street will be a large intersection with LOHBS//7th Heaven Coffee (orange sign) on your right. Turn right.

Yesterday, John Feal, along with several other 9/11 First Responders went down to Washington D.C. to attend the hearing on the James Zadroga 9/11 Health And Compensation Act. From what I understand, he was singled out by the Congressmen, and applauded for his efforts. I want to say congratulations John. Just to give people an idea of how much you've fought for the responders, here's a little tribute to you (that barely covers your fight). Thank you for doing the right thing. I am very proud to say that you are my friend.
The EPA is a "bunch of brainiacs and bookworms who just look at numbers but don't look at people's pain," said John Feal, a construction worker who lost half a foot in an accident while working in "the pit" at Ground Zero. "The people [downtown] and in Brooklyn pay taxes and deserve to know their tax money is going to protect their health."
John Feal – [NYMetro, 12/13/2005]
John Feal, Valenti's friend and the founder of the Feal Good Foundation, an advocacy group for 9/11 first responders suffering from ground zero-related illnesses, called the workers' compensation ruling encouraging, but added that more must be done to help those who have gotten sick. "Individually, that's great," said Feal, a demolition supervisor who lost part of his foot when it was crushed by an eight-ton beam during the recovery effort at ground zero. "What stinks is that so many… Continue reading

Dear Friends around the World,
To place a public referendum for an impartial, independent and subpoena powered investigation of 9/11 on the New York City Ballot for the November General Election.
The 9/11 Commission was set up in 2002 to "provide the fullest possible account of the events surrounding 9/11". What we got instead, in the words of Commission Chairs Governor Thomas Kean and Representative Lee Hamilton, was a Commission "Set up to fail". A joint statement from both sides of the aisle is a rarity. This one speaks volumes.
Today, over 66% of New York City residents support a new 9/11 investigation. Millions now know that critical questions were left unaddressed. Only an objective, independent, subpoena powered investigation can ask the right people the relevant questions the 9/11 Commission certainly did not. Only an impartial investigation, free from intervention and powered by subpoena, can deliver the answers that every American deserves.
Thanks to your hard work and dedication in keeping 9/11 front and center all along, the NYC 9/11 Ballot Initiative has succeeded in collecting over 30,000 signatures, leading us to the final phase of our mission; to place a referendum for an independent subpoena powered 9/11 investigation on the NYC Ballot for the November General Election.
Those 30,000 signatures are needed to present the petition to the New York City Council for its approval. Our goal, however, is 75,000 signatures by the end of June, making it a virtual certainty that the referendum will be on the ballot, placing the decision to approve the pursuit of evidence and fact wherever it may lead exactly where it belongs – in the hands of New York City voters.…Continue reading

Dear Friends Around the World,
We, the 9/11 Family Members, First Responders and Survivors who make up the Executive Council of the New York City Coalition for Accountability Now, would like to announce our profound dedication to establishing an independent, impartial, subpoena-powered investigation into the events of September 11, 2001. We stand together with you, our fellow citizens, to place this important referendum on the New York City ballot on November 3, 2009.
Each one of us has a different story and a different reason for becoming part of this journey, but we have united for this purpose and this purpose alone: to establish an independent, impartial, subpoena-powered investigation into the events of September 11, 2001.
As 9/11 Family Members, First Responders and Survivors of those tragic moments, our lives were irreversibly devastated. Below, we describe our pain and our quest for closure. We hope you will join us in this quest – it is of paramount importance for our personal and collective healing, and for the betterment of our world.
As the world moves further and further away from the actual events of 9/11/2001 both in time and spirit, and as 9/11 effaces into yet another simple story cast in history, as the parent of Vanessa Lang Langer lost as the towers fell, I want to let it go. I want to stop talking about 9/11. I am tired of the questions unasked and unanswered. I am tired of… Continue reading

9/11 Families, First Responders and Survivors Gather at City Hall to
Endorse 2009 Ballot Referendum to Establish New Official 9/11 Investigation
in NYC, Call on New Yorkers for Support
New York – Outside City Hall today relatives of 9/11 victims, first responders
and survivors of the September 11th attacks gathered to endorse a November ballot
initiative to establish a new 9/11 investigation under the auspices of the city
government of New York. Support on the street is high, the group says, and polls
indicate a majority of New Yorkers wants a new investigation.
On June 24, the group leading the ballot initiative, the New York City Coalition
for Accountability Now (NYC CAN) filed a petition containing 52,000 signatures
with the office of the City Clerk. The official filing initiated a 60-day period
specified in Section 37 of the New York Municipal Home Rule Law in which the
City Council is asked to review the petition and approve its placement on the
upcoming November ballot.
Since this milestone filing, the group has gathered an additional 15,000 signatures
and received several endorsements from prominent leaders. Renowned whistleblower
and former FBI agent Coleen Rowley, who TIME magazine selected as one of three
"Persons of the Year" in 2002, endorsed a new investigation yesterday,
as reported by RAWSTORY (http://rawstory.com/blog/2009/07/ex-fbi-agent-why-i-support-a-new-911-investigation/).
Bill Doyle, who lost his son Joseph, has been an outspoken leader of an active
community of relatives of the… Continue reading
July 27, 2009
SEVENTY THOUSAND New Yorkers signed the NYC CAN petition, raising their voices
in support of NYC CAN's demand for accountability. They have chosen to
place the decision to create a new 9/11 investigation — a REAL 9/11 investigation
— exactly where it belongs: before the voters of New York City this November.
The voices of SEVENTY THOUSAND Americans who believe in democracy and believe
that government exists to serve the people — and not the other way around
— have been GAGGED by ONE so-called "PUBLIC SERVANT" —
The New York City Clerk — who denied the petition and the voice of the
Welcome to America. Democracy denied.
Did you REALLY expect those in halls of power to honor the WILL OF THE PEOPLE?
Did you expect this demand for accountability to go uncontested by those who
have forgotten the very meaning of the word? Perhaps this obstruction of democracy
would go unchallenged in THEIR America. Not in OUR America.
9/11 family members, first responders and survivors expected nothing less than
business as usual and ARE NOT HAVING IT. They are preparing to take the City
of New York to court to challenge the wrongful denial of our right to decide
on the creation of a new 9/11 investigation.
Friends, your determination and generosity have brought us to this crucial… Continue reading
9/11 Family Members and Survivor File for Re-validation of Citizens'
Signatures with New York State Supreme Court, following rejection of NYC CAN
petition by the City Clerk and Board of Elections
New York City — On Wednesday, several 9/11 victim family members and a
survivor took the first step in challenging the City Clerk's rejection
of the NYC CAN petition for a new investigation in New York City. The group
filed a Verified Petition/Order to Show Cause with the Supreme Court of the
State of New York requesting a review of Board of Election documentation and
a 'special referee' appointed to re-validate the over 52,000 signatures
filed by NYC CAN on June 24th.
The NYC CAN petition was rejected by the City Clerk on Friday, July 24th, a
week ago, certifying less than the minimum of 30,000 qualified signatures of
electors. This benchmark, according to the Clerk's office, was not met.
A "qualified elector" is a registered New York City voter who was
eligible to vote in the last election. According to the letter sent by the Clerk
to the City Council, the NY Board of Elections validated 26,003 signatures and
invalidated 24,664, leaving 1,333 that were not certified.
At a hearing scheduled for Monday, August 3rd, before a Supreme Court Justice,
the plaintiffs, representing tens of thousands of concerned New Yorkers who
support a new 9/11 investigation, will formally raise their request for an independent
review of the Board of Elections findings. If granted by the… Continue reading

Below is a moving and powerful story by one of the hardest working and most determined 9/11 Truth Advocates I know, Naomi Breeze. She has guts and determination in spades and will not be stopped in her quest to get justice for the victims of the 9/11 attacks that include ten Australians!
Solo Truth Action in Newcastle, Australia on the 14 of May 2010
Story by Naomi Breeze
After stumbling across 9/11 Truth on the internet about three years ago I contacted John Bursill of 9/11 Truth Australia and have been a passionate 9/11 Truther ever since. I feel privileged to have been involved with two successful conferences in Sydney, Australia and am honoured to have met some of my 9/11 Truth heroes.
I attended a talk in my hometown of Newcastle on 14 May 2010 by ex-Fire Fighter, ex-Chief Dan Daly, about 9/11 and how it changed his life. The talk was organised by a Catholic Church Chaplain through his Passionist Family Group and cost $5.00. The Chaplain is a personal friend of Dan and was in New York on September 11, 2001.
Some background on Dan: http://www.chiefdaly.com/
Dan Daly was promoted to Fire Captain with Engine 52 in 2001. The service was to take place on September 12, 2001. On September 11, 2001 his rig was one of the last to arrive at the Twin Towers. He and his crew arrived from the Bronx just as WTC 7 collapsed. He… Continue reading
Sydney's Sept 11 Protest Calls for End of Afghan War!
August 24, 2010
By John Bursill
John Bursill's Blog at visibility911.com/
So why should we believe that "9/11 Truth" can stop the war in Afghanistan and bring the "War on Terrorism" to an end?
I will lay out below the non-conspiratorial reasons why it is vitally important that we continue to demand accountability from our governments, on why it is they went to war on our behalf in 2001. I will also argue why I am correct to strongly assert that the pursuit of 9/11 truth and a criminal investigation of those events is the only practical path to peace today. Details of an upcoming Sydney "9/11 Truth for Peace" Protest on September 11th, 2010 are at the bottom of this article.
On the 11th of September 2001 the world entered a very dark chapter of its history! We were promised a 100 years of war in this "New American Century" fighting "the terrorists" wherever the American Empire deemed they were, and at the time of their choosing. We were told that this "New Pear Harbor" event carried out on 9/11 by the CIA born Al-Qaeda was a fair and reasonable reason to carry out a preemptive strike against their supporters the Taliban, by the invasion and occupation of Afghanistan.
The vast majority of the world's population and its governments rallied behind the US determined to fight Islamic terrorism together world wide. Although some more skeptical… Continue reading

9/11 Truth News
The Post-9/11 World Is A Detriment To Humanity
* We are fighting illegal preemptive wars against three countries. Afghanistan,
Iraq, and Pakistan. The resulting wars have caused well over 1,000,000 casualties.
Preemptive war is illegal according to the Nuremberg Charter, and the United
Nations charter. These wars are destabilizing the entire Middle East, and causing
anti-American sentiment throughout the world.
* In America, the Constitution is being forgotten with the passage of bills
like the Patriot Act, the Military Commissions Act, and the John Warner National
Defense Authorization Act. Americans are forced to wonder if their conversations
are being monitored through the use of illegal wiretapping. The freedom of the
press, and the right to peacefully assemble is being discarded.
* Hatred towards Muslims and Jews is being fueled.
* Executive Power within the United States is being expanded to the point of
near-dictatorship, and accountability for the actions of the Executive, and
other members of Government is non-existent.
* A constant state of fear is the norm.
* Billions upon billions are being spent on the previously mentioned wars,
and things that are needed for the people are being forgotten about.
* Soldiers are dying, are being subjected to multiple tours of duty, are being
exposed to depleted uranium and chemical weapons, are suffering from post traumatic
stress disorder, are committing suicide at an astounding rate, are being fed
propaganda in order to murder innocents, and are having… Continue reading
Originally published at Homeland Security Today by Amanda Vicinanzo on 6/9/15
Nearly 15 years after the tragic September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, problems with interoperable communications continue to plague the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), according to a DHS Inspector General (OIG) audit report.
"In other words, nearly a decade after the 9/11 Commission highlighted the problem with interoperable communications, DHS components could not talk to each other using about $430 million worth of radios purchased," said DHS Inspector General John Roth, whose office just concluded a verification review of its 2012 audit of DHS's oversight of interoperable communications.
In the 2012 audit report, DHS' Oversight of Interoperable Communications, the IG's review of progress on intra-agency communications during an emergency, such as a terrorist event, found less than 0.25 percent of the 479 radio users could access and communicate via that specified common channel.
Moreover, of the 382 radios tested, only 20 percent contained all the correct program settings for the common channel.
The IG determined the reason behind the communications failure was lack of an effective governing structure with the authority and responsibility to ensure DHS achieved department-wide interoperable radio communications.
Now more than two years later, the IG found, DHS still hasn't complied with the recommendations of the initial 2012 audit. Although DHS has taken some corrective actions to standardize department-wide radio activities, plans have not been finalized and DHS could not provide a timetable for finalization of the plans.
Furthermore, some component… Continue reading

Like Handzus, Ponikarovsky and Harrold, John Zeiler is scheduled to become an unrestricted free agent and like the latter two, there's no reason to indicate that Zeiler will be back with the Kings organization next year.
After being drafted by the Phoenix Coyotes back in 2002, the native of Jefferson Hills, Pennsylvania, spent the last five seasons with the organization, spending most of his time in Manchester. Zeiler never played more than 36 games for the Kings in a single season, which he did in 2007-08 when he was only able to record a single point, while his biggest point production in Los Angeles came the previous season when he collected three points in 23 games.
After not playing with the Kings at all in 2009-10, the 28-year-old was promoted for a very brief time to Los Angeles where he recorded no points in four games.
It's possible that John Zeiler could find some kind of success with another NHL club but the fact is, for whatever reason, he just could not make an impact in Los Angeles. Then again, he wasn't around long enough to have much of an opportunity.
I wish the best of luck to John Zeiler in the future. I personally hope he gets better accustomed in his next destination.

"This is how it happens. One girl follows behind the other, until together they move forward, towards something – a Future." Girl Rising
Around the world, millions of girls face barriers to education that boys simply do not. And yet, when you educate a girl, you can break cycles of poverty in just one generation. Removing barriers to girls' education – like early and forced marriage, domestic slavery, sex trafficking, gender violence, discrimination, access to healthcare, school fees and access to markets—means not only a better life for girls, but a safer, healthier and more prosperous world for all.
It's a simple proposition but one that has faced seemingly insurmountable odds as institutionalized and cultural misogyny get in the way of the goal. In some places, those hoping to educate girls, and the girls striving to learn, even risk their lives just to achieve an education.
The 10×10 Campaign hopes to change that. 10×10 is a global action campaign for girls' education that brings together a powerful mix: dedicated journalists, business and political leaders, students, teachers, activists, philanthropists, artists, celebrities and supporters who believe in the importance of investing in girls. And on this first International Day of the Girl, it's a campaign that is getting results.
"The idea" said Holly Gordon, Executive Director of the 10×10 Campaign, "was to use the energy of making a movie and these stories to drive a global movement. We wanted to create a platform to share some of the voices from around the world of girls and their families giving everything for an education."
"These girls have something to say," said Gordon. "They are revolutionaries themselves. The choices are stark. Some girls are just trying to achieve one more week of school. Their families are deciding whether to invest in their education or to invest in food."
The centerpiece of 10×10 is a feature-length film, Girl Rising, slated for release in March 2013. This film reveals the extraordinary stories of girls from around the globe fighting to overcome impossible odds on the road to realize their dreams of education. The director, Richard E. Robbins, is an award-winning documentary director, writer and producer. In 2008, his documentary – Operation Homecoming – was nominated for an Academy Award.
The film includes voice performances from three-time Academy Award winner Meryl Streep, two-time Academy Award nominee Anne Hathaway and Selena Gomez among others. The ten countries included in the film are Afghanistan, Cambodia, Egypt, Ethiopia, Haiti, India, Nepal, Peru, Sierra Leone and Uganda. Ten writers were selected – one from each country – to help provide a clear, indigenous voice for the film's stories.
A short preview of the film will debut at the Sundance Film Festival in January, 2013 The theatrical release of the feature length film will follow in March 2013.
But it's not just a movie. 10×10's incredible Global Champions include Her Majesty Queen Rania of Jordan, Isobel Coleman (Council on Foreign Relations), Tina Brown, Angelique Kidjo (Beninoise singer-songwriter and activist), Archie Panjabi (actress), Maya Haile & Marcus Sammuelson (Model; Celebrity Chef).
10×10 has also tapped a coalition of NGOs to create a high-impact network of champions and leaders in girls' education. These organizations, which provide life-changing services to girls every day, include: Afghan Connection, A New Day Cambodia, CARE, UN Foundation's Girl Up, Partners in Health, Plan International, Pratham, Room to Read and World Vision. A few examples include:
Afghan Connection supports schools, teachers, and sports opportunities in rural Afghanistan – and has educated over 40,000 boys and girls.
A New Day Cambodia provides food, shelter and education to Cambodia's garbage dump scavenger children.
Girl Up educates, motivates and trains American girls to become global leaders while channeling their energy and compassion to raise awareness and funds for United Nations programs that help some of the world's hardest-to-reach adolescent girls.
Partners in Health delivers life-saving care in some of the poorest corners of the globe, ensuring girls have access to health services as part of their mission to break the cycle of poverty and disease.
Plan International USA works side by side with communities around the world to end the cycle of poverty for children. Plan's Because I am a Girl Campaign is a global initiative committed to fighting gender inequality, promoting girls' rights, and lifting millions of girls out of poverty.
Pratham is the largest educational movement in India and provides Indian youth with the educational environment and tools to learn, grow, and break the poverty cycle.
This is how it happens. One dedicated activist follows another, until together they move forward toward something. A revolution.

In our quest to make girls feel better we're forgetting about boys. Boys are important too and are being overlooked. We don't need old style feminism we need Humanism. Both boys and girls need all the help they can get in order to meet the future. If we neglect one we've neglected both. I used to be a feminist but stopped because of all the male bashing and woman one up man ship that was practiced. I like men and believe that many support equality between us. So why make them the enemy?

Best vacation spot in South Beach!
The Sherbrook is located in the best central location on Collins Ave. The massive room had wooden floors, full size appliances dining table/chairs, nice pictures on the wall, in all a very "homey" room.
Some of my friends stayed at the Riu Hotel and was impressed that the Sherbrooke room is much bigger, cleaner and had great amenities for the price!
Everything I needed was within a few blocks of the place. Dining, shopping, dancing, beach and beautiful people! If you don't feel like going out you can sit and relax on the porch of the hotel which I enjoyed.
I truly miss the Sherbrooke after spending 5 nights there and cannot wait to return next Columbus Day weekend or even much sooner!
Excellent value for such a location
Spent five nights there between May 13 and 18/04. Excellent value for such a close location to the beach. The apartment was very clean and everything worked. It was great having central air so you could adjust to what temperature you personally wanted. The windows are all new in the apartments and wind out nicely if you so desire to get outside air. Mitch the owner was more than welcoming when I arrived. Got to give him a lot of praise as he seems to be "jack of all trades" for the complex! Ocean drive only a short block away with all the restaurants and bars and of course the beach. A block in the other direction was Washington Ave. with lots of shopping and more. One of the best values I have seen in South Beach.
Excellent for What You'd Expect
We stayed at the Sherbrooke for the weekend and it was exactly what we were looking for: a clean, simple place in a perfect location. Our room was actually quite spacious, with a separate dining area and full kitchen. The location is perfect and even though we were there primarily for the nightlife, we still appreciated the fact that things are much quieter on Collins than on Ocean when it comes time to wind down the evening. The beach is convenient -- one block away.
Sure there's no decor to speak of, and the facilities are pretty basic, but it was clean (no trace of pests) and very affordable ($90/night). As a bonus, the owner, Mitch, got us in the backdoor at Mambo's, which is a popular nightclub next door. I would definitely stay at the Sherbrooke again.
Sherbrooke is awesome
Loved the Sherbrooke. My girlfriend and i just spent 5 days there, we would have stayed another 5 if we could. she's a little picky on where we stay sometimes so i was a little nervous. she loved it. only complaint was bed wasn't very comfortable, but no biggie. best location and value in south beach. felt like a little hideaway, no front desk to mess with, can come and go w/o having to see or talk to anyone. don't get all the noise and traffic of ocean drive but do get all the benefits of being so close. not swanky but everything you need for a beach vacation. who spends time in their room in south beach anyway?? plenty of space, fridge, microwave, and stove. compass market right across the street for anything you need plus deli sandwiches, beer, etc. internet cafe across the street if you need internet. primetime on corner has a great breakfast, relatively inexpensive. we'll be back to the sherbrooke. sherbrooke rocks.
Good budget-minded option
The Sherbrooke Hotel is the 5th hotel that I've used in South Beach.
The price through Orbitz was approximately $150 per night and I believe it was worth it. The building dates back to before WWII and it's age shows in places, but the rooms were clean with remodeled bathrooms(excellent water pressure in the shower!). The location was terrific as the 901 Collins address puts it in the middle of the Art Deco District and only a brief walk from many nice restaraunts on Ocean Drive. It is an apartment style facility with a kitchenette including refrigerator, range and microwave. While many of the hotels in South Beach suffer from noise issues, the Sherbrooke never presented a problem with its double-paned windows and serviceable AC. So if you're interested in a good location and decent but not posh digs, this is a good option.
The Sherbrook Hotel is the BEST value in South Beach!
This year was my 6th year going to South Beach.I have stayed at some hotels that were about $150 and other that were $250 a night. The Sherbrooke was closer to the hotels that I've paid $250 + for but for FAR less. This hotel was a great suprise.Very clean. Tons of room.
Stove, full size fridge, microwave, several ceiling fans, great lighting, lots of room. No reception area to deal with (which I like) but if you need to be catered to hand & foot, maybe this is not the place. If you want a great deal, lots of space, cool room- all at a great deal, then get a room here! You will NOT find a hotel better than this for this price!!!!!
Good Deal
Stayed here a week in February. Found clean and modest suite steps from Ocean Drive with the helpful owner manager inhouse. Great location.
Great price. Annie of Portland, Maine
Still Up In the Air
I'm still up in the air about Sherbrooke. The price we got was great ($79/nt) and the location was great, although you definitely can't see the ocean like all the pictures show when you're on their website. It was one block off Ocean Drive right by the main beach access. Very art deco/1950's, but the bathroom still had dirt in the corners from that era also. The bathroom was sooo small, no place to put anything (like grandma's house circa 1940). The tub was small and gross, still had some hairs on the outside of it. Window in shower/tub with no curtain, faced a building, and don't think anyone could see in, but not certain. There isn't a traditional lobby with a desk, Mitch (who was extremely pleasant) met us at the cab and helped w/ our luggage. It felt more like a boarding house than a hotel, but this is the first time to this area and maybe that's what the hotels are like around there. We're not used to uncarpeted floors/non-traditional hotels. Pros: location, good ceiling fans, coffee shop right across street, Mitch, washer/dryer avail, kitchenette, beds seemed clean, priceCons: bathroom, bathroom, bathroom; funky odors from wood burning to diesel smell in hallways, potential for noise from traffic and partiers, no comfortable chairs in room for reading - just fold up card table chairs, no brochures or info on where to go/what to do and I wouldn't know how to find person in charge if needed Would I stay again if I was down there? Maybe, now that I know what I'm bargaining for. I would explore all my options.
Truly South Beach's Best Kept Secret
Although I have visited South Beach on several occasions previously, I recently visited (August 2002) and can proclaim, definitively, that I experienced the best accommodation thus far! I discovered the Sherbrooke Hotel, located on Collins Ave., in the heart of everything that is South Beach!!
If you have had any experience with accommodations in South Beach, one quickly realizes that almost all hotels proclaim that properties are "first class." It can become a trite, and often inaccurate, description of properties once your eyes actually view it firsthand. However, the Sherbrooke Hotel is definitely one of those understated properties. First of all, the ALL SUITES hotel rooms are HUGE, complete with a sitting area at the entrance, fully equipped kitchen(even a full-sized refrigerator and microwave no less).
The bedroom area is large as well, with a ceiling fan and a host of cable channels available on the television. Further, one of the greatest highlights, is the fact that the suite has a dedicated central air unit with a personal thermostat, so that you can adjust the exact temperature to your preference. This is quite a PLUS in the South Beach area to be in total control of your room's temperature, coupled with a unit that can EASILY achieve the temperature you desire -- even in the heat of summer!!
Other atypical conveniences of The Sherbrooke Hotel is the INDIVIDUAL and DIRECT phone line that is in the room -- no operators or switchboards necessary. Your suite has its own phone number just as you would have in your own home. And, finally, yet another great point, is the security of the hotel. The doors of the hotel stay LOCKED AT ALL TIMES and your key to the front door allows access to the hotel. Further, to allow for visitors to your room, an intercom at the front entrance allows the person to call your room using the directory and keypad.
The suite was very clean and neat and the individualized service uncompromising. Mitch, property manager of The Sherbrooke, is quite attentive to any needs or concerns and he is only a phone call away if assistance is warranted by the guest. I have nothing but the highest regards for Mitch and his operation of The Sherbrooke. Undoubtedly, my next itinerary to South Beach will include accommodations at The Sherbrooke and yours should as well!! My sincere "thanks" to Mitch for making it a great stay!!

After a mad scramble, the Pacers managed to regain possession, George put up a three point attempt which missed but was fouled in the process. 3 shots and he made all 3. Pacers up by one point with 2.2 seconds remaining and Heat fans were in despair. After a time out, the Heat inbounded the ball ...

2nd and Seven –
Bo Knows Ballin' – The Wildcat secondary was the worst pass
defense in the conference last season, but that wasn't due to
the play of last year's defensive MVP Bo Smith. Smith, a smart,
physical cornerback, was fourth on the team in tackles with 63
and led the team with 2 interceptions. Although the rest of the
secondary spots are up in the air, Smith gives defensive
coordinator Mike Archer a lockdown corner on one side of the
field. The problem is that most teams will go away from him and
challenge the youngsters on the other side. Consequently,
Archer is going to have to find ways to keep Smith active and
let him still affect the game. As teams start to go away from
him, he might be the perfect backside corner 'cat' blitzer,
especially from the short side.
3rd and Three –
Line of Distinction – Kentucky's offense finally has some
quality skill players. Keenan Burton is ready to break out
(finally). Rafael Little is special. But, when that's the
case, the offensive line always stinks, right? Well, not this
year. The offensive line may not have a Joe Thomas or a Justin
Blalock, but after three years, offensive line coach Jimmy
Heggins finally has some returning experience and some grown up
talent. Each of the five projected starters started at least
one game last year and their backups might be even better. They
have eight guys who could play significant minutes, if everyone
stays healthy, something Fatu Turituri and Aaron Miller weren't
able to do last season. The offense was much improved over
2004, and with a line like this, they should be even better this
4th and One –
Pulley Action – Some players are just way too good to keep
off the field. When Marques Hagans, former UVA QB, couldn't
beat out Matt Schaub, he moved into an inside WR/slot position
just so he could put pressure on opposing defenses. With that
being said, don't be surprised to see Curtis Pulley all over the
field this year. He's listed as a backup QB, but that's just an
alias, well, if the Cats want to maximize
the sophomore's stout athletic ability. He did a little of
everything last year – throwing, running, receiving, returning
and even blocking kicks. QB Andre Woodson didn't play well
enough last year to keep Pulley out of QB meetings this year,
but offensive coordinator has to continue to find ways to get
Pulley the ball this year. Just imagine – Pulley, Little and
Burton – that's a threesome that could put some defenses on red
alert this fall.

When I opened my eyes, I forgot where I was for a moment, easily. The immaculate white porcelain that covered every inch of the room was blinding me with the reflection of sickly powder blue neon. My eyes watered from the brightness. In fact, it seemed to blind out a great deal of my thoughts as well as my sight. I moved to get up and slipped back.
Water. Surrounded by water in a bathroom tub. The water was cold as ice and murky. I lifted my hands and rubbed my stinging eyes with some of it despite it's chilling effect on my body.
A little more consciousness aroused me. Dressed down to my boots and in a full bathtub of freezing water. And I didn't have a clue as to why or where.
Confused I looked around, my neck stiff and achy but complying. The floor was wet, the porcelain still blinding, sink, toilet, broken mi

Hubby has been offered to catch the baby

You heard me.
Don't let your fears get in the way if he really wants to catch. The experience will only serve to bond you two closer together and parents and will leave him in awe of your body's amazing abilities.

Missing my babe 02/12.
Bronze Boobies ( o Y o )
DH is absolutely not catching, touching the crowning head, cutting the cord, or looking. He said he doesn't feel comfortable and he's worried about getting upset from the blood and about things not looking right. Doesn't hurt my feelings at all - I saw my friend deliver her baby and it didn't even look like a vagina anymore. So if I thought it looked crazy, why would I be upset that he's worried about it looking crazy? It just means he'll be more focused on me and how I'm doing and what he can do for me.
However, if he thought he could do it, I'd totally let him, because I know that for a lot of things I can compartmentalize, so why can't he?
If he wants to, great. If he doesn't, great. Just make sure you let him know you're completely fine with whatever he decides, you're just glad he'll be there.
Facts don't change just because someone cries.

No sooner did the Sochi Winter Games end than Russia bade farewell to the Olympic spirit by invading and occupying a foreign country. With its aggression against Ukraine, the Kremlin has breached the United Nations Charter, the Helsinki Final Act and other international agreements, including the Budapest Memorandum on Security Assurances and the Black Sea basing agreement, which spelled out Russia's relations with Ukraine.
Crimea has been turned into a military zone, and its inhabitants might soon be trapped in the firing line if the crisis continues to escalate. Russians now face international diplomatic and economic isolation, exacerbating their country's economic woes. Russian President Vladimir Putin's reckless gamble risks dragging the world into a wider conflict.
In light of Putin's dangerous behavior, the West must rethink its stance toward him. Here is a leader who read a hidden, menacing agenda into a technical European Union document about export subsidies and anti-fraud provisions. More broadly, here is a paranoiac who sees an implausible coalition of liberal Russians, Ukrainian fascists, the CIA and Islamist terrorists trying to thwart his preferences, if not topple him, at every turn.
Indeed, what we are seeing is not an unfortunate over-reaction to events, but a result of meticulous preparation. Armies do not mobilize 150,000 troops within days or have ready vehicles and thousands of uniforms without insignias or hold military exercises in peaceful regions without warning.
It would be a mistake for NATO to respond to Russia's provocations with similar saber rattling. After all, the United States and the European Union still have tools to modify Putin's calculus or that of those bankrolling his regime. Most important, the U.S. and Europe must cooperate much more closely. The impression of disunity on sanctions plays into Putin's hands.
Some EU members, like Germany, must live up to the expectations they have recently raised. If German leaders are serious about instituting a "culture of responsibility," they are obliged to act accordingly, even if doing so entails economic costs. The West should also listen to Ukraine's neighbor, Poland, which has deep insights into the complexities of the crisis.
Most important, it is essential to adhere to certain key principles:
Use diplomacy: Europe, the U.S., and Japan have already suspended their cooperation with Russia in the G-8. Similarly, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development should put Russia's accession process on hold. Following punitive measures by the U.S., the EU has now decided on some "soft" sanctions. But modest steps like suspending talks on visa liberalization will not impress the Kremlin. Stronger signals, such as cancelation or suspension of agreements concerning the South Stream gas pipeline and a trade embargo on arms and dual-use items, merit serious consideration.
Impose targeted sanctions against those responsible for Russia's Crimean incursion: An obvious tool here is to broaden the U.S. Magnitsky Act, which prohibits the 18 people identified as directly responsible for the detention, abuse and death of Russian lawyer Sergei Magnitsky from entering the U.S. or using its financial system.
The Magnitsky Act should be amended to include the names of political and military leaders responsible for the invasion of Ukraine. Moreover, the modified bill should be adopted by the U.S. and the EU simultaneously – thus delivering a credible threat to freeze the foreign assets of Russia's government, state-owned companies, individual officials and relevant oligarchs.
Engage Russians: The West needs to communicate to ordinary Russians the spuriousness of Putin's zero-sum, us-versus-them narrative. Closer relations between Ukraine and the EU pose no threat to Russia; on the contrary, a Ukraine closely integrated with its Western neighbors could boost Russia's economy as well. That may be irrelevant to a leader guided by visions of restored imperial glory, but not to the people under his rule. Knocking holes in the Kremlin's wall of propaganda will not be easy, but it should not be impossible in our hyper-connected world.
Support Ukraine with financial aid – as the EU has now done – and by securing its upcoming elections: Military assistance should include, at a minimum, Western intelligence sharing and cooperation through the NATO-Ukraine Commission. Should the situation deteriorate further, the West should also provide medical aid and surveillance assets. If the 2008 Russo-Georgian war is any guide, NATO's Cyber Defense Center should help Ukraine prepare for a large-scale digital offensive.
Defend NATO allies: NATO should discuss concrete steps to protect its members. Ukraine borders four NATO members (Poland, Slovakia, Hungary, and Romania), while a fifth (Turkey), along with Romania, borders the Black Sea. Moreover, Estonia and Latvia are alarmed at Russia's geopolitical ambitions, especially given the pretext of protecting ethnic kin. Both have populations that are about 25 percent Russian – a legacy of their Soviet past. Finally, Poland and Lithuania border Kaliningrad, Russia's exclave in the middle of Europe (and the scene of its most recent combat-readiness exercise).
This is a time for diplomacy, and NATO must avoid direct confrontation, but not at all costs. It must reckon that Russia's actions might deliberately run counter to a peaceful settlement. The alliance cannot afford to launch a lengthy and heated debate about the deployment of its forces and capabilities only at the moment diplomatic efforts fail.
When Ukrainians stood against their corrupt elite, they became the first people to put their lives on the line for EU membership. The result was unwarranted retaliation from Russia.
So this is not Ukraine's war. Ukraine is the immediate victim, but it is by no means Putin's ultimate target. This is a blatant attack on principles of state sovereignty, inviolability of negotiated borders and adherence to multilateral agreements that underpin the rule-based international system. Countering Russia's aggression is the responsibility of all who uphold that system.

Zingiber cernuum (curved-stem ginger)
Zingiber cernuum (curved-stem ginger) (Photo: Dinesh Valke)
Species information
Zingiber cernuum Dalzell
curved-stem ginger, nodding-stem ginger
Least Concern (LC) according to IUCN Red List criteria.
Semi-evergreen forest.
None known.
None known.
About this species
A perennial herb from western India, curved-stem ginger owes its common name to the tips of its leafy stems, which are always curved. Zingiber cernuum is a member of the ginger family (Zingiberaceae), which also includes common ginger (Zingiber officinale).
Discover more
Geography and distribution
Zingiber cernuum is native to the Western Ghats of western India, where it has been recorded as common in moist shady places in semi-evergreen forests. It has been reported to occur in Karnataka, Maharashtra and Kerala.
Overview: Perennial herb, up to about 1–2 m. Leafy stems are bright green and always curved at the tip.
Leaves: Oblong-lanceolate, smooth on both sides.
Flowers: Borne directly from the rootstock, appearing just above the ground. The lip is variegated red and white and the side lobes are variegated red and yellow.
Fruits: Yellowish-white and smooth. Seeds are red and striated (marked with fine, longitudinal grooves) when unripe.
Threats and conservation
Zingiber cernuum is reported to be fairly common in its natural habitat, with a widespread distribution, and is not considered to be threatened at this time. However, most natural forest in the region has been cleared and converted to agriculture and plantations. The remaining habitat is highly fragmented in a region where the human population density is high, and hence ongoing monitoring of this species is desirable.
It is estimated that between 1920 and 1990 forest cover in the Western Ghats declined by 40%, and few large blocks of intact forest remain. Many remaining forest patches that harbour endemic species are being converted to rubber, eucalyptus, coffee, teak, tea, cardamom or coconut plantations.
Conservation assessments carried out by Kew
Zingiber cernuum is being monitored as part of the IUCN Sampled Red List Index for Plants project, which aims to produce conservation assessments for a representative sample of the world's plant species. This information will then be used to monitor trends in extinction risk and help focus conservation efforts where they are needed most.
This species at Kew
Theodore Cooke wrote in The Flora of the Presidency of Bombay in 1908 of the difficulty of obtaining specimens of curved-stem ginger: 'The plant unfortunately flowers in July, at which time the whole of the hill-sides are streaming with water, rendering plant-collecting a task of no ordinary difficulty. It is hoped that local botanists will endeavour to procure specimens, describe them when fresh, and send some to the Kew Herbarium.' Despite his optimism, there are no herbarium specimens of Zingiber cernuum at Kew to-date.
The details, including some images, of pressed and dried specimens of many other Zingiber species can be seen in Kew's Herbarium Catalogue.
Various members of the ginger family (Zingiberaceae) are grown in the hot, moist section of the Princess of Wales Conservatory.

The Good
Should we start with the obvious? There's a kiss happening in this issue. This is what everyone will be talking about, which in some ways, is a shame. This is the last part of the previous arc with Graves attacking the team. There is a lot happening including a pretty big change for the future of the team. But everyone will be talking about the kiss. So let's start there.
Some are for the kiss and some are against. What happens here and the events leading up to it makes sense. I've seen the argument that Superman and Wonder Woman have tried being together several times in the past and it never worked. What people need to think about is this Superman and Wonder Woman are a little different. I won't go into the whole structure of the events leading up to this moment (we can save that for a separate editorial) but reading this entire arc plus knowing where these two are coming from in the New 52 makes the moment work.
What about the rest of the comic? This is a big issue, both in size and developments. The League are at the mercy of Graves. They are pretty much defeated. Not only that but there are other circumstances building up and working against the League, which if you've been reading the series, you already know.
How the battle ends, despite their apparent defeat, is fitting. The elements of the story falls into place just right. It won't be a happy ending for the League, regardless of what's on the cover, and this changes the future of the series in a pretty big way.
What about the art? Have I mentioned before how much I love Jim Lee's art. Simply put, I'm a fan. I enjoy seeing his big comic book-y action scenes. It's a treat having him on this series because it means we get to see him draw so many different characters. The art, of course, is complemented by several inkers and colorists this time around. And if Jim's art wasn't enough, we also get two pages by Ivan Reis and Joe Prado and three pages by David Finch. Included here is similar to what we saw in the Grant Morrison's early BATMAN AND ROBIN or BATMAN INCORPORATED series with a tease of what's to come. If the big things happening in this issue weren't already enough to make you look forward to the second year, these scenes should definitely impress you.
The Bad
I'm still not sure how I feel about Graves as a big time Justice League villain. His motive and way he took the team down almost felt too easy.
The public reaction to what happened last issue seems a bit much. In issue 7 we saw that even after five years, the public was still in complete love with the team. There is some suspicion in the government and the public disagreement last issue shouldn't completely turn the opinion of the team. But we haven't fully seen what the team has been doing in those five years and how many public appearances or battles they've taken part in.
Too much emphasis will be placed on the kiss.
The Verdict
The Justice League have been utterly defeated but what are the chances that this is the end for them? What makes them a remarkable team and the greatest heroes in the DC Universe is that they will be able to overcome their obstacles. It won't be easy and there will be casualties but it's a glorious issue.
What really won me over here, besides my love for Jim Lee's art, was some of the dialogue from different characters. We're seeing some big changes here and it's all building up into something big. In past issues we've been treated to big action scenes that almost filled entire issues. While this one does have some grand fighting, we also get a look into the characters of several members. This is a game-changer issue. Decisions are being made along with sacrifices. There's a big feel to the issue without it feeling too contrived. There's a huge mix of big time action mixed with character development that you wouldn't expect to see in a series full of so many characters. This issue reminds me why I enjoy Geoff Johns and Jim Lee so much.
