This past Thursday, Oct. 9th, I arrived at the Jacob Javits Center on the west side of New York City around 1 PM and got my pro pass to the New York Comic Con. I'd hoped to get there sooner, but traffic delays between my home in southern New Jersey and my mom's place closer to the city held me up. Another hour by train from her place brought me to New York's Penn Station, a 20 minute walk from the con. Before even entering the show I needed to meet Shelly Bond and others for lunch at a nearby restaurant to discuss an upcoming project. That was fun, but got me back to the show around 3 PM. Then I was able to do some scouting and planning for the primary reason I was there: meeting up with my friend and inspiration, lettering master Gaspar Saladino on Friday. Continue reading

Sunday was mostly about talking to old friends for me, as well as selling prints at my table, where I did surprisingly well. When I arrived at the Con a little before 10 AM I walked around a while and first found Don Rosa at his table giving away hot peppers that he grows at home. Don is always doing something interesting and surprising. "I like to grow them," he told me, "but I can't eat most of them, so I give them away at Cons. When I go to Europe I pack an entire suitcase of them." I asked if he had any trouble with customs. "No, they don't care what you bring in!" he told me. Here he's holding what he thinks is the hottest pepper he grows, a "Carolina Reaper," if I remember correctly. Continue reading
Baltimore Comic Con 2014 Saturday
Images © Todd Klein.
This year's Baltimore Comic Con expanded to three days, but I wasn't able to go on Friday. Early Saturday I drove from home to the Con hotel, and after checking in, walked over to the Baltimore Convention Center, arriving just after the show opened at 10 AM. Lots of others were going the same way.
This year the con is in a different, larger part of the Convention Center than previously, but the entry setup was the same: upstairs for panels and registration, downstairs to the large exhibit hall. Continue reading
See You in Baltimore?
Next Saturday and Sunday I'll be at the Baltimore Comic Con. This will be my third or fourth time at the show, but my first time at a table. I don't yet know what my table number is, but I'll be there somewhere! I'll have all my prints for sale, and of course would be happy to sign anything I've worked on.
From 4 to 6 PM on Saturday I'll be at The Last Fables Panel in room 339-342 along with Bill Willingham, Mark Buckingham, Andrew Pepoy, Steve Leialoha and probably plenty of other Fables creators. I'm looking forward to that.
Baltimore is what I would call a medium-sized show, but what makes it especially nice for comics fans is: comics and comics creators are the focus and main attraction. You can see the guest list HERE, and read more about the con HERE and on their Facebook page, which seems to have more up-to-date information than the website at the moment. You can get tickets HERE. Downtown Baltimore and the Harbor area are also great places to spend some time away from the con.
If you go, hope to see you there!
San Diego Comicon — not this year!
Above is an image that's making the rounds on Facebook, not sure who put it together, but I found it amusing. I'm breaking a 21-year streak by not going this year. My reasons? Ellen and I wanted to save some moneyafter our spending slightly exceeded our income last year, never a good thing, and San Diego seemed a reasonable place to save a few thousand dollars. Also, we had other things going on in July before and after that are easier to manage if I don't go. I'll miss it, I love going, and am starting to get withdrawal symptoms already. Continue reading

Get ready to never make fun of another stunt-y, awareness-raising televised colonoscopy or prostate exam. A few weeks after undergoing her first ever mammogram for a Good Morning America segment on October 1, Amy Robach, 40, found out she has breast cancer. "The doctors told me bluntly: 'That mammogram just saved your life,'" Robach wrote on ABC's web site. She is going in for a double mastectomy later this week. Get well soon, Robach.

Fantastic buy
from San Diego, CA
on 11/3/2012
I just went on a backpacking trip and my hiking shoes gave me blisters so I hiked back (10 miles!) in these sandals and it was great!!These shoes are so comfortable - the straps felt a little tight at first but they stretched out perfectly and now the shoes are amazing - like little clouds for your feet! I love these sandals and also wore them walking around in streams at the camp site.

These are awesome.

on 3/26/2012
I actually bought two pair because I love them so much. I wear them all the time, but when they get wet they take a long time to dry as the straps are fabric. They are very comfortable and soft. They are super cute. I get comments on them all the time.
comfy casual sandal
from NH
on 3/25/2012
The shoes are comfy ... but they do the whole "flip-flop" sound when you walk around; guess that's understandable. I do like them much better than typical flip-flops. I plan to wear them with casual clothes doing errands, going to the park, and when going to the pool.
so cute
from Salt Lake City, UT
on 3/22/2012
I love these sandals because they are so cute. They're okay for comfort. Not good for wet because the straps are cloth and they take a long time to dry. I love them.

They are very comfortable! I love them. Have purchased them in the past and am glad to get this new pair.
Great flip flop

Great sandal but the sole compresses after several wearings. Very comfortable and true to size.
a bit small
Kat B.
from Pickerington, OH
on 2/7/2011
I love Teva shoes in general, and have a few at home. However, this sandal does run small. I wear a 9 and it felt like an 8. Too small for me. My other Tevas are 9's. Looking at the picture, I thought they were slide on's without material through the toes (which I hate), but this is more flip flop like. My daughter tried them on (she is a 7), and she had to fiddle with the various straps to get them on. You cannot just slip them on and go. The cushion is nice, which is why I ordered them.
Great Sandal
from Moravia, NY
on 10/31/2010
Fits great- looks fantastic. Very comfortable. Arrived in 2 days!
Very Comfortable
from MI
on 8/15/2010
These are the best sandals I've purchased in years. Great fit, can't kick these ones off and basic black provide both class and comfort.
from KS
on 7/14/2010
Very comfortable sandal! The only thing that I'm concerned about is the shoe material, it seems to be breaking down from getting wet...but I'm around the pool a lot, so if it holds up, its perfect!!
Cute, but tight
Martha L.
from Flushing, MI
on 7/11/2010
These are cute shoes, but the straps are tight and there's no adjusting them.
Love these sandals!
from Pittsburgh
on 6/14/2010
I've worn Teva sandals before, and they are so comfortable. I wore them on my walk to work, about mile, at work, and back...a total of at least 3 miles. My feet didn't hurt! These are great casual sandals.
good for everyday wear
constance h.

Light-weight. The color I got wasn't the one I ordered but I kept them anyway. They're fine kick-around thongs.
My favorites for my summer feet!!!
from Angwin, CA
on 7/6/2009
An excellent purchase!!! Couldn't be better! I even walked and walked in them without any blisters, rubbing, etc. Superb!!!
My Favorite Sandals in the World
from Indianapolis, IN
on 1/18/2009
These are my favorite flip flops ever I've always gotten compliments when I wore them in the past. I lost one side a was devestated until I came across your site and found them again. I was so happy because I couldn't find them anywhere and I'm so grateful. I wear them around the house waiting until the spring, summer, and fall comes so I can wear them again. They fit just right if you have narrow feet this is a good match.

Additional Infomation
About Us
Since 1968, Population Connection (formerly Zero Population Growth or ZPG) has been America's voice for population stabilization.
We are the largest grassroots population organization in the United States. Population Connection, a 501(c)(3) organization, has 140,000 members, supporters, and participating educators. We educate young people about unsustainable population growth through K-12 lesson plans that reach 3 million students a year. We inform constituents across the country about their congressional representatives' stances on population growth and family planning. And we work directly with Congress and the White House to inform family planning policy and funding levels.
The global population has doubled from 3.5 billion, when ZPG was founded, to 7 billion today. Population growth rates have fallen around the world because of the success of voluntary family planning programs. But the global fertility rate is 2.5--still higher than the "replacement level" of 2.1 children per woman. At this rate, the world's population will grow to 11 billion by 2050 and nearly 27 billion by 2100! Of course, demographers expect that fertility rates will continue to decline around the world. With the right investments in family planning education and services, the population could peak at 8 billion in 2050 and begin to shrink thereafter. In fact, if this low-fertility projection comes true, the population in 2100 would be 6.2 billion--the same size that it was in the year 2000.
Population Connection works to ensure that every woman around the world who wants to delay or end her childbearing has access to the health services and contraceptive supplies she needs in order to do so. Typically, when woman have access to affordable birth control, they have fewer children, regardless of income or educational levels.

He may be right. You put all the information out there together, and you can come to his conclusion of Technocrats trying to reduce population with chemicals in products all of us use daily.
The problem is the way he says it. As he pointed out (could be accused of being a homophobe).

Presented in the form of a propaganda video, but the stuff about BPA being toxic/harmful is true. The reason it's used isn't some conspiracy though, it's a purely economic move because it's the cheapest method of lining cans, with alternatives not having been well-developed/way more expensive. The industry is however starting to shift after the FDA reclassified it.

People always ask me 'Why did you move to America from such a great country like Australia 20 years ago?" That is a bloody good question. After 20 years there are certainly lots of things I still miss about home. Tim Tams, Cherry Ripes, Melbourne Cup Day, Boxing Day Tests, State of Origin, a decent beer off the wood at the Breaky Creek.... Still with me. However, my life, as great as it has been, is not as exciting as it could be without the right other person in it. I have been around the world enough times in my life, it is no longer about where I am going, it is about who I am going with. I do not look exactly like Mel Gibson, Hugh Jackman or Russell Crowe BUT I at least still sound similar to them. What am I looking for in a person? For someone who is honest to the point it hurts. The world is full of liars and sorry, Miami is at the top of the list of cities with people wanting to present themselves not as who they really are. I am not going to lie, I am not ashamed at all about who I am as a person. I want to meet someone that when I leave work in the afternoon I want to be excited to get home and see or call. I want to be excited to introduce them to my mates and to take them home to Australia and meet my family and mates there. If that is enough to at least have you interested in a first meeting... I will be excited to meet you. (PS Russell Crowe used to date my cousin in New Zealand and she told me all his lines so you can have a faux Russell Crowe experience)

In general, cable networks and operators have weathered the past year's recession relatively well. After a small profit decline in Q3, Discovery Communications (NSDQ: DISCA) ended the year on a positive note as distribution and advertising revenues both gained slightly. Full year revenues were also up 2 percent. The relatively good quarter sets the stage for Discovery's anticipated rollout of the Oprah Winfrey Network (OWN) in the coming months. Advertising for the quarter was up 2 percent on higher ratings, while distribution revenue grew 4 percent. Meanwhile, Discovery didn't hold the line on costs, as expenses increased 2 percent, not counting impairment charges.

Customer Reviews of Garmin nuvi 255 - 3.5" GPS w/ Preloaded Maps and Where Am I? feature
good for the price1/7/2011
This is a very good product, it serves my needs, I don't travel too far, so I don't know how it will function in big cities. This is a good starter GPS. The price is right.
Garmin nuvi 25512/27/2010
When the advertisement was wrong you was very kind and corrected this for me. I am very happy with the way you handled the problem in a prompt,professional manner. Thank you very much Don
Overal good for the price11/3/2008
This unit functions well, but you still need to keep an eye on the map a little. This only because it wants to be as accurate with the streets as possible. Ex: while entering the 610 S ramp, it said "Enter 290 ramp south". While this is technically correct (that ramp actually comes from 290 and goes to 610), all the other street signage only mentions 610 S! I understand this kind of issues easier than my wife, but she would be confused. Nevertheless, it got me out of some situations easier and faster than if I would not have it. Overall, I shoped around a little and I found this a good buy for the price.2 Helpful | 1 Not Helpful

In a medium sized mixing bowl place the minced beef and season with sliced green onions, chopped parsley, salt, ground pepper and egg and mix well. Form the mixture in a ball shape and set aside.
Heat a non-stick frying pan, melt the butter and saute the onion rings, add the meatballs and stir very gently, add mixed mushrooms and cover for 2min, dissolve mushroom powder in water and add to the meatballs. Bring to a boil over a low heat and simmer until sauce thickens and mushrooms are cooked.

The Islamic State celebrated its one-year anniversary in customary fashion. Other organizations might sponsor parades and make speeches. ISIS spilled blood. A beheading in France, the murder of 38 tourists at a resort in Tunisia and a bomb blast at a mosque in Kuwait all reminded the world, if it had somehow forgotten, that ISIS isn't merely interested in securing sovereignty over a particular stretch of territory. It has much grander ambitions. At the moment, it doesn't have the means to take on the world or take over even a single country. But that could change. ISIS isn't like previous proto-states or liberation movements. It's a fundamentally different creature.
While all of what I described here remains in my memory there is only one split second incident that calls that July 4th, 1927 event to my mind.
I don't want to spend my time chastising you. I'll leave that to your business partners who have the power to scold you where it hurts. Instead, I'm writing to say thank you! What you did with your straight talk was send more Latino voters to the polls than several registration rallies combined!
For all its genuine achievements, the sad reality is that the once-proud edifice of the European Union has turned into a wobbling house of cards. What has gone wrong? Let me suggest a few of the most obvious weaknesses.
Falcon 9 is the third resupply mission of its kind to fail in recent months. Is it more than a failure, but also a metaphor of our times? Ambitions that, even in their smallness, can't be realized?
Given the economy's size and complexity, our problems cannot be solved by tinkering around the edges. Instead, a total revamp is necessary, one that both grows the middle class while reining in the runaway excess of the business class.
How much worse is it going to have to get before we take accountability for our racism and actively engage in dismantling it?
1400 years ago, the Prophet Muhammad prophesized that a time would come when nothing would remain of Islam but its name, nothing of the Quran but its word, and that many "Mosques would be splendidly furnished but destitute of guidance" (Mishkatul Masabih).
The NYPL, like many other libraries around the country, has already begun to seize the day in an effort to answer the needs and wants of its community.
Today's jobs report was a bit weaker than expected, and a bit weaker than it looked at first blush. While payrolls were up 223,000 in June, in line with expectations, and the unemployment rate fell to a record low in this recovery of 5.3 percent, there were several mitigating factors.
Military power is by definition destructive, but in the past such force often cleared the ground for the building of local, regional, or even global structures, however grim or oppressive they might have been. If force always was meant to break things, it sometimes achieved other ends as well. Now, it seems as if breaking is all it can do.
Here's the real message behind the congressional votes on fast-track authority and trade-adjustment assistance: Democrats will no longer support major trade agreements that cost American jobs and create further downward pressure on wages, especially as inequality continues to accelerate.
As the 2016 presidential campaign kicks off, the economy is growing and Americans are getting back to work. However, for far too many people plotting a course from the working class to the middle class requires navigating dangerous waters filled with financial icebergs.
Overtime pay has become such a rarity that many Americans don't even realize that the majority of salaried workers were once eligible for it. We just keep working longer and harder, for less. Meanwhile, corporate profits have doubled over the last three decades.
Anyone who aspires to our nation's highest office should have spoken up strongly against Trump's remarks immediately, without hesitation. It shouldn't be a surprise, though, that the major Republican presidential candidates did not. They didn't want to ruffle the feathers of their party's anti-immigrant base.
Social Security is as American as fireworks on the Fourth of July. This summer marks the eightieth anniversary of its enactment. To celebrate the birthday, let's do what past generations have done.
The documents, along with the analysis, highlight the way that the TISA responds to major corporate lobbies' desire to deregulate services, even beyond the existing World Trade Organization rules. This leak exposes the corporate aim to use TISA to further limit the public interest regulatory capacity of democratically elected governments.
We don't have to ignore the biology of addiction to appreciate its psychology and to approach those who suffer humanistically rather than moralistically.
We must never forget the genocide in Srebrenica. We must always honor its victims, its survivors. But we must never forget also that our words will ring hollow if, in the here and now, we don't believe the unbelievable, if we don't end the culture of impunity that exists in so many places around the world, and if we don't strengthen our resolve to protect those who count on us all.
Doing away with official reverence for the Confederate battle flag is largely a symbolic move that doesn't come close to addressing the problems surrounding race in America, including disparities in treatment by the criminal justice system and the resurgence of voter suppression laws and other schemes designed to rig the elections in favor of powerful conservative interests.
I was raised to be a strong, black woman who could handle her own emotions -- not ask someone to help me sort them out. How dare I need treatment for feeling worthless and for being bullied when I come from a lineage of ancestors who used strength and endurance as a way to survive?
Catholic Vote has created a video, "Not Alone," in opposition to last week's Supreme Court ruling granting same-sex couples the right to marry. On their website, they tell us that the video is about "6 courageous young people" who want to "tell the world" that they are not afraid to express their views against same-sex marriage. This video is offensive. Here's why.
Focus on what is good in the U.S. too often slips into chauvinist nationalism. So we need to reframe the celebrations this July 3-5 weekend as Inter-Dependence Day, avoiding all the implications of thinking that somehow it is possible to be independent of the global economy, culture or environment.
Fair warning, if you use the terms, "Fire and Brimstone," "God's Wrath," "Sodom and Gommorah" or "Damnation"... this is not the questionnaire for you.
If you're waiting for your next big vacation to truly de-stress, you may be putting yourself at risk for burnout. Here in the U.S., we don't even guarantee paid time off for all, making us the only advanced country leaving our workers with zero time to regroup.
If someone ever tells you that it's just meta data, remind him or her of how the British could have used meta data to find Paul Revere and show them this network visualization.
Something unexpected has happened along the way -- more and more participants have expressed the sentiment that what we really need is a new declaration of independence.
I breathed a huge sigh of relief as the Supreme Court rejected an attempt to undermine the housing law that was passed in Dr. King's memory. Yet it was hard to forget that last week also marked two years since the Court eviscerated the voting rights protections that activists like Dr. King and my father had given so much of their lives to achieve.
When the EEOC began recognizing that discrimination against trans persons was a form of sex discrimination, the community was nearly completely silent. When cases began being won, the silence continued; the issue was avoided when it wasn't being misrepresented.

Diamond steath/z1 better than unaweep/z2
I had a pair of unaweep z2's before these. I have to say I am happier with these z1's. They are just as stable (the toe strap on the z2 is more for style imo) and the diamond stealth sole is just plain awesome. I was afraid it would be REALLY soft and wear down after a few weeks of pavement walking, but that has not been the case.

Photoshop CS5 for Photographers provides comprehensive Photoshop training targeting the needs of photographers. In this course, author Chris Orwig demonstrates the fundamental skills used to enhance digital photos, including managing and correcting color, sharpening, making selections and adjustments, retouching, and printing from Photoshop. In addition to teaching the techniques that enable photographers to refine and publish their photos, the course includes live-action segments that encourage thinking photographically and shooting with Photoshop's capabilities in mind. Exercise files are included with the course.
Once we finished our work in Photoshop's Print dialog, we'll go ahead and click the Print button. This will then open up our printer- specific dialog, and in this case, I'm printing to the Epson 3800. Now there are a couple of things that I'm going to need to do here. So let's go ahead and dig into our Options. What we're going to do is click on this pulldown menu and navigate to Printer Settings. Now there are a few things that are really important. First of all, we're going to define how this paper is going to be fed into the Printer. Sheet Feeder, that's fine. The Media Type, what we want to select here is Enhanced Matte Paper.
We want to be consistent. Because we've selected Enhancement Matte here, we need to be sure to choose that here. Now what Print mode do we want to use? In this case, we're going to use the AccuPhoto HD Print mode in order to have good color. Now in regards to our Color mode, we have a few options. What we want to do is turn off, so there is No Color Management. Remember that warning message that we received? It was saying, be sure to turn off Color Management inside of your Printer's dialog. Well that's exactly what we're doing here.
Now we have some Output Resolutions that we can choose, and then also a couple of other options; for example, High Speed. Well, what that will do is it will print in both directions. In other words, as the print-head moves from left to right, it will set down ink, and then it will also set down ink as it moves from right back to left. Well, on the other hand, if we turn this off, it's going to take a little more time, although it will only set down ink in one direction, for example, as the print-head moves from left to right. Well with this particular printer, I've found that I have success with High Speed on or off.
For really important prints, I leave that checked off, for more normal prints, or ones that aren't quite so important, I'll go ahead and turn that on in order to speed up my overall workflow. At this juncture, now that we've made our way through the Epson Print dialog, all that we have to do as our final step is to simply click the Print button, and that will then send this image to our printer.

Eminem is the latest celebrity to fall victim to a burglary. Luckily, his incident didn't occur at his home. But whoever robbed him had a field day in Eminem's hotel room.
The NY Daily News is reporting that someone broke into Eminem's hotel room in Los Angeles Sunday night, stealing thousands of dollars worth of items from him, including a $60K diamond necklace, and his personal laptop.
Talk about getting the sh*t end of the stick this week! First he gets Bruno's backside in his face, and then the poor guy is robbed!
Thankfully for Em, his album Relapse is at No.1 on the charts right now, so at least he can be grateful for that! But he may want to think about beefing up his security a little better when he's on the road!

Originally written on Mets Merized Online | Last updated 1/8/13
Murray Chass claims he knows Mike Piazza used steroids. Wait, before you start mumbling expletives at Chass under your breath, keep reading. The former New York Times reporter is not alone. Joel Sherman, a columnist for the New York Post, also raised suspicion about the Mets former catcher. Both Chass and Sherman covered the Mets in the Piazza era. These guys spent a lot of time with the Mets – and Piazza. Both confirm Mets beat writers and veteran baseball scribes in general suspect Piazza's name may be on that dubious decade-old unpublished list of 104 players who failed the MLB steroids test. In his 2009 book The Rocket that Fell to Earth, Jeff Pearlman suggests Piazza used performance-enhancing drugs: According to several sources, when the subject of performance enhancing was broached with reporters he especially trusted, Piazza fessed up. "Sure, I use," he told one. "But in limited doses, and not all that often." (Piazza has denied using performance-enhancing drugs, but there h...

During the fiscal year, the company received 28 million shares related to the previously announced accelerated stock buyback (ASB). The total number of shares ultimately repurchased under the ASB is based on the daily volume-weighted average share price of IGT's common stock during the repurchase period and will be determined in the first quarter of fiscal year 2013. Upon completion of the ASB, the company expects the volume-weighted average price of all the shares delivered to the company to be close to the closing price on the day the company announced the program, assuming the share price stays within recent ranges. Also during the fiscal year, the company repurchased 5 million shares of its common stock in the open market under its previous authorization at an average price of $15.18 per share for a total cost of $75 million. During the fiscal year, the company returned $546 million in the form of dividends and share repurchases to its shareholders. Contractual debt obligations were decreased by $140 million during the fourth quarter.OtherThe fourth quarter was impacted by impairment and restructuring charges totaling $28 million, including $15 million related to the impairment of Walker Digital Gaming patents, and $13 million for additional impairment on the company's Alabama notes receivable. The fourth quarter was also impacted by a $15 million reorganization charge related to IGTi operations involving the closure of Entraction services and facilities. Additionally, net earnings benefited from the realization of $45 million in tax benefits from deductions resulting from the Entraction closures.References to per share amounts in this release are based on diluted shares of common stock, unless otherwise specified. Reconciliations of all GAAP to Non-GAAP Adjusted measures are provided at the end of this release.OutlookBased on current expectations, the company is offering its initial fiscal year 2013 guidance for adjusted earnings from continuing operations of $1.20 to $1.30 per share. GAAP earnings per share from continuing operations for fiscal year 2013 will include acquisition-related expenses, primarily related to Double Down, the amount of which are not determinable at this time. The company may also recognize charges for impairment, other acquisition-related expenses, resolution of certain tax items, and/or other items that are not currently determinable, but may be significant. For this reason, the Company is unable to provide full-year GAAP earnings per share from continuing operations estimates at this time.Earnings Conference CallAs previously announced on Oct. 25, 2012, IGT will host a conference call to discuss its Fourth Quarter and Fiscal Year 2012 earnings results on Thursday, Nov. 8, 2012, at 2:00 p.m. PST.

(Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) measures, are useful because that information is an appropriate measure for evaluating our operating performance. Non-GAAP information is used to evaluate business performance and management's effectiveness. These measures should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.
