TWD- Basic Biscuits
I let my little man do the measuring, mixing, and rolling of these biscuits. He loves using any cookie cutter and while I tried to follow Alton's advice to push straight down and not maul the biscuits, I'm not sure that was quite the case. My biscuits were a little short but they were a lot delicious nonetheless. We ate them all right off the pan with a little butter and homemade raspberry jam my mom and I made a few weeks ago. Baby Strawberry had the biggest jammy smile, my little man was proud of 'his' biscuits, and Mr. Carbohydrate polished several off before I even took a picture. You can see the recipe here or in Dorie Greenspan's awesome Baking from My Home to Yours. This recipe might be basic but it's a winner at our house.
Speaking of winners, I'd like to thank everyone who entered the Sam's Club and General Mill's giveaway from MyBlogSpark. I was touched by the comments and all the things people do to fight cancer. Together I really think we can make a big difference- thank you guys for the inspiration! The winner of the $25 Sam's Club giftcard is number 6- Holly! Get me your address asap and I'll have your prize sent out!
Come back tomorrow for a special recipe featuring Ghiradelli Intense Dark Chocolate (also benefiting breast cancer research, check it out!)

I think Alton is my favorite! He's even funnier than Julia, and she was so down to earth she was hilarious. It was fun watching this episode with his grandma again.

Love cute baby strawberry, what a sweetie! My guys think biscuits are a vehicle for gravy! Dories recipe is a good one. I'll have to watch the Alton Brown episode.

I friend of mine got a Savage Model 99 from his father's estate, with eight other lever guns of various kinds. I'd never been a fan of lever guns, but the 99 changed that. I liked the balance, and the rotary magazine. And it was chambered in .300 Savage. I remembered the .300 thread here, so I looked up the specs of the cartridges.
Wow. The pressure and velocity are all over the place depending on where I look, but for the same bullet weight the .300 gives up a negligible amount velocity for a whole lot less pressure. It's down in the .30-06 range in pressure, but overlaps .308 velocities. WTF? I guess tiny differences in case design can make a big difference in pressure.
I *like* the .300! An AK in .300 would be way cool. Hmm... I wonder if an SKS could be converted to .300 without major work. [doubleplus ungood badthink... must... resist... too many projects already...]

Friday, March 1, 7 pm - Sunday, March 3, 2013, 3 pm
with Nina Wise and Jeremy Levie
Practice self-discovery and self-expression.
Suzuki Roshi once said that we practice sitting to be "ready for anything." In Nina's improvisation classes, we'll learn Motion Theater® practices that allow the creativity that resides within us to have a voice, both through movement and language. In meditation, we will cultivate openness, receptivity and fearlessness, particularly the courage and clarity to express what needs to be expressed. This workshop will provide a safe space to take up this transformative work of self-discovery and self-expression. Using yoga, sounding, movement, and other exercises, we'll cultivate our capacity to tell our story and bring to life what is often unnoticed or unacknowledged, finding the freedom that comes from expressing ourselves through our bodies as well as our words.
An excellent workshop for performers, teachers, leaders, and anyone for whom communication is central. You can expect to surprise yourself and to become more playful and at ease before an audience. You might even find that the sense of well-being achieved during the workshop not only expands your creative abilities but also enhances your experience of daily life, reminding you that it is your nature to be free—and to express that freedom spontaneously.
Retreat fee: $200, $180 current SFZC member, $160 limited income. Does not include accommodations.
Commuter fee: $232. Includes four meals in the dining room.

Kenya's potholes
Potholes in Kenya usually take up the whole road, necessitating driving on the other side of the road on the shoulder. One day, a couple of young men were standing in the middle of the road beside a huge pothole filled with dirt and stones. They were looking for a few shillings from drivers to thank them for filling up the pothole.
Obama family vacations
It must be very nice to be the Obama's daughters these days. They had an over-the-top 17-day luxurious vacation in December, went to Vail to ski a few weeks later, the eldest went to New York City to have dinner with friends, and now they are at a luxurious hotel in the Bahamas. All, of course, with heavy Secret Service detail (paid for by taxpayers). Yet the White House tours were closed because it took too much Secret Service hours (even though the guides are volunteers). Where are the so-called "sacrifices" the president keeps talking about?
Health care costs
Obamacare, affordable health care? Our monthly health insurance premiums have gone up, and I just discovered that a generic drug I use that usually costs me $3.69 a month will now cost me $101.09 each month. How is this affordable?
Traffic sign eyesores
What's with all these giant stop signs all over Aiken with those hideous, long, red reflection legs? I go away for a while, and, when I come back, my beautiful, sedate, understated, quaint city is overrun with monstrous, overkill traffic signs. Please reduce their size. Use common sense.
Aiken lane-changing
The "staying in one lane" advice was risky. When turning left on a two-lane road, one must also turn into the right lane, not the left. Maybe the person was referring to a four-lane road, which would make sense.

text: MAC Pleasure Bomb Lipstick ($16.50 for 0.10 oz.) is described as a "matte fuchsia [with a Matte finish]." It's a vibrant, brightened fuchsia with some red and cool, blue undertones and a matte finish. It had extremely good pigmentation, and it gave full color coverage when applied. The consistency was, again, creamy enough so it didn't drag much on lips (just a tiny bit) and left behind a matte finish from the get-go. This shade will basically last until you remove it–it's very, very long-wearing but it starts to get a bit drying after six hours of wear. Guerlain Provocative (863) (LE, $49.50) is warmer, redder. MAC All Fired Up (P, $15.00) is redder. Givenchy Fuchsia Irresistible (205) (P, $36.00) is less matte. MAC Moxie (LE, $15.00) is a smidgen more fuchsia. MAC Lickable (P, $15.00) is less matte. MAC Impassioned (P, $15.00) is similar. MAC Girl About Town (P, $15.00) is a touch bluer-based, less matte. Guerlain Gigi (P, $49.50) is less matte. Guerlain Champs-Elysees (P, $35.00) is less matte. See comparison swatches.

Harwood Union High School senior Kyle Streeter placed first at both the Michael J. Baker Wrestling Classic in Essex on January 20 and the Colchester Invitational meet on January 26 in the 220-pound weight bracket. Kaegan Pearsall, a junior at Harwood, took second place at both tournaments at 170 pounds.
Streeter defeated Maine state champion Josh Andrews from Massabesic, ME, in the finals at Essex and Luke Mckee from Peru, NY, at the Colchester tourney.
Harwood freshmen wrestlers Travis Streeter, David Howes, Brandon Hamilton, Ronnie Gilman, Nate Stanley and Kyle Jasinksi also participated in the tournaments.
A record number of teams participated at the Essex tournament, including seven from Maine, one from New York, one from Massachusetts and many from Vermont.
The Harwood wrestling team's upcoming schedule includes a tournament at Mount Mansfield Union on February 2 and the NVAC Elite tournament at Mount Abraham on February 9.
On Friday, January 25, Harwood sophomore Nathanael Kuzio shocked the best Nordic skiers from Chittenden County by winning the Mt. Mansfield Pursuit Race held at the Ethan Allen Center for Excellence in Jericho, VT.
The pursuit format is a combination of both classic and skate (freestyle techniques). Skiers ski a 2.6 km classic ski course, change equipment (while the clock is running) and ski another 2.6 km using the skating technique.
"I knew Nathanael had a shot at winning," said Harwood Nordic coach John Kerrigan. Nathanael is a biathlete (skate technique and shooting). I knew if he kept it close after the classic leg, he would be in the hunt for first during the skate leg due to his strong skating experience from biathlon training. I think even Nathanael was surprised when he came through the classic leg with a comfortable lead. He increased the lead and beat over 100 of the best skiers from across the state."
"In my 30-plus years of coaching Harwood Nordic, this is the first time we have had an athlete win a pursuit race of this caliber," said Kerrigan.
Brennan Degen also had a fine race, despite experiencing frostbite on both hands. Degen finished 30th. Other top skiers for HU were Marcus Helmken (50th) and Phillip Hekeler (54th).
India Harvey led the Harwood girls with a 23rd-place finish, despite getting tripped up 100 meters from the finish. Ellie Ramsey (41st), Paige Gaylord (51st) and Alice Woodruff (74th) helped the Harwood girls to a strong finish.
Harwood Nordic trails have survived the latest thaw and the team has been able to train right out their back door.
"We have been lucky; many of my fellow coaches have been complaining that they have to travel to find skiable snow. Let's hope our trails hold up until the state meet in late February," said Kerrigan.
By Steve Skilton
On Saturday January 26, the Harwood Union alpine teams competed at Lincoln Peak in a two-run slalom competition hosted by South Burlington. For the Harwood girls it was another good day on the slopes finishing second only to a solid CVU team.
Callie Anderson, 4th, Amy Graham, 6th, Sophie Dasaro, 12th, and Mercedes Woolley, 13th, all put together two good runs and gave the team a fine overall performance. Maddie Lowe, 20th, Ashley McNeish, 22nd, Isabella Harris, 26th, Sarah Wry, 37th, Molly O'Shea, 38th, Regan McMann, 39th, and Anna Belongia, 51st, all competed for Harwood in the meet.
John Egan, skiing in his first race for the boys' team, finished 13th overall in a field of 75 boys. Hobey Weston, 32nd, Malcolm Purinton, 40th, also in his first race for the team, Matt Crowell, 51st, and Asah Whalen, 55th, competed for the Harwood boys.
The teams head to Mt. Ellen on Thursday for a GS on Inverness; start time is noon.

Apple airs two new iPhone 5 ads: Turkey and Orchestra
Apple has just released two new TV commercials for the iPhone 5 5 called Turkey and Orchestra. As you might imagine, Turkey focuses on the U.S. Thanksgiving holiday, and starts off with... a turkey and all the fixings! Apple then shows the Photo app, and swiping between photos of a family in the midst of Thanksgiving celebrations.
Photo Stream is also highlighted, and the easy way it lets you share photos with specific family and friends, who can then enjoy and comment on them on their own iOS devices.
Oh, and there's pie.
"Mmm. Pie."
Orchestra shows off the noise-cancelling mic on the iPhone 5. According to Apple, even if a full symphony orchestra in a White Room right out of Angel is playing nearby, thanks to that mic you'll have a better than normal chance at still hearing your call, without having to ask the conductor to pipe it down.
These are both classic Apple iPhone commercials, showing off specific features and doing it in a slightly whimsical manner. Not disruptive by any means, but not as awkward as the genius commercials or as reality defying as the Siri commercials from earlier in the air.
What do you think of them?

Apple airs two new iPhone 5 ads: Turkey and Orchestra
Good commercial.
Is there any comparative tests of the noise cancellation feature against 4S and the competition?
Not that I know of but when I talk my girl On the iPhone 5. I get complaints That she can hear everything In the background. With my iPhone 4S I walked through areas with loud music playing And she could never hear it. The audience chip is way better than Apple's solution. What's the point of three mics if they can't get the job done

I am very sorry for your loss and all that you are still going through healthwise. I too am still on meds and it has been almost six months since he was born (five months today since he died). I also blame myself for many things, but being on this forum has helped. As much as I wish that none of us had to go through this it helps to know that I am not alone in my experiences and my feelings about them. Take care of yourself and we are hear for you.

Less than a week before Google I/O, the conference where Google is expected to unveil Android 2.2 (FroYo), it's clear that Google's mobile operating system is no longer an experiment. Android is now a popular software that runs on millions of devices and it's part of a growing ecosystem.
Google's CEO, Eric Schmidt, said that "65,000 mobile phones powered by Google's Android operating system are being shipped every day" and that "Android is now being used on 34 mobile devices in 49 countries".
According to a NPD research, Android is the second most popular smartphone operating system in the US in terms of units sold in the first quarter of 2010 (28%), after Blackberry OS (36%). Apple's iPhone OS dropped to the third position (21%).
Cédric Beust, a former Google engineer who worked on the Android team, says that Android's growth is surprising:
"I don't know what's the most surprising: how ambitious that goal was four years ago or how far Android has come today. It's hard to believe that Android shipped its first device about a year and a half ago and at that time, Apple had already sold more than ten million iPhones. Who would have guessed that it would only take Android eighteen months to catch up and pass the iPhone in market share? In this short period of time, we've gone through four major releases (and many, many minor ones, some of which you probably never even heard of), and each new version has been a major milestone that got everyone on the team incredibly excited. FroYo is no exception, prepare to be blown away by what you will see very soon."
It's interesting to see that carrier distribution and promotion continues to be very important. The most popular Android phone, Motorola Droid, has been aggressively promoted by Verizon. Nexus One has been sold online by Google, but the results are underwhelming and Google plans to close the online store.

School bans pupil for extreme hairstyle
Last updated at 10:39, Thursday, 20 March 2008
Curtis Percival, 12, was told by Whitehaven School headteacher Malcolm Smith that his hairstyle was just "too extreme" and he would have to be excluded until it grew out.
The boy's mother, Nichola, from Meadow Road, Mirehouse, Whitehaven, has reacted angrily.
"What has a hairstyle got to do with learning?" she said. "I have noticed myself that three other children have red hair and another has bright blonde dye. I asked if they had a policy on such things and was told they hadn't."
Headteacher Mr Smith said: "The school states clearly that 'extremes of dress or appearance at not allowed and therefore hair should be moderately cut and styled' (as stated in the school prospectus).
"The school judged the pupil's hairstyle to be extreme and is trying to manage the situation so the pupil can attend school through alternative provision until the hair is less extreme."

Have your say
Of course he should be excluded!! Nearly every school has a policy on hairstyles and his mother should have known better!
Hardly news though...
Oh dear, I thought difference and diversity were welcomed in this country. To be different is good surely because it embraces the culture of tolerance and understanding? Or have I got it seriously wrong?
Answers please, but they must be in joined up writing, oh! I think I've just fallen into the trap of being intolerant.
Just rushing out to get a haircut !!!

Everywhere I turn, there seems to be a new way to learn how to program online. There are free resources like Codeacademy, Udacity, Coursera, Mozilla's P2PU, Google Code University, and MIT Open Courseware. There are also more and more high-quality paid resources, both online and off, like General Assembly, Treehouse or Bloc, not to mention local continuing ed classes across the spectrum of relevance and quality.
But first, let's address the question head on, why should non-programmers consider learning to code? The answer is both obvious and not, and to help me with the "not" part, I want to virtually interrogate a wonderful skewering of the topic by Jeff Atwood on his Coding Horror blog, "Please Don't Learn to Code." Atwood writes, "The whole 'everyone should learn programming' meme has gotten so out of control that the mayor of New York City actually vowed to learn to code in 2012." He believes (perhaps correctly) that Mayor Bloomberg should spend his time, you know, being the mayor instead of slinging JavaScript.
Atwood has a point about Bloomberg (no word since January, as far as I can find, on how that resolution is working out for the Mayor), but even there, there are mitigating factors. Bloomberg's office has been supportive of a number of initiatives, Codeacademy and General Assembly among them, that are aimed at training a ready workforce for the New York (I mean Brooklyn) tech scene. So for Bloomberg, this is eating his own dogfood, as the developers say. Plus, he's a smart, quantitatively-minded guy, it's probably relaxing for him.
Where Atwood really nails it is by substituting the word "plumber" for the synonyms of "programmer" on Codeacademy's Code Year page (see image above.) O'Reilly, Rushkoff and Wilson's quotes make lots of sense in their original context—just not when talking about plumbing. Yes, the "learn to code" thing can be taken too far. The world doesn't need, as Atwood points out, more bad code. Any designer will appreciate how difficult it is to deal with a client who fancies themselves a bit of a designer. As Mike Monteiro writes in his great (short) book on how to manage a design business, Design Is A Job, such clients need to be treated as bad designers who, with our help, can get better. But I digress…
The point is that the world does not need more code for its own sake, but better and more universal thinking about code. And as with any situation where there is an apparent conflict, there is a resolution if we take it up a level. That's to say, there are many ways to code, and not all of them involve writing explicit code.

Welcome to SPSUTeach
SPSUTeach replicates the nationally-recognized UTeach Program at the University of Texas at Austin, and is the only Polytechnic currently offering
this program. The UTeach program has a reputation for producing high quality high
school science and math teachers. Just as SPSU is different from other universities,
SPSUTeach is different from other teacher education programs. The focus is inquiry-based
instruction, so you learn by doing.
One Degree, Two Career Paths
With SPSUTeach, with a degree in Biology, Chemistry, Math, or Physics, you have two career paths. The first class (STEP 1) offers students who make a "B" or better a $175 Merit Award - essentially that means the class is free. No further commitment beyond the first class is required.
Why Not Explore a Little
Odds are you'll either change your major once, twice or end up doing something entirely different than the degree you earned once you graduate. In the first weeks of the introductory STEP 1 course, you will teach a demonstration lesson to real students. By the end, you will teach two more demonstration lessons to students. If you love teaching, great you now have two career options instead of one. If not - check out the benefits of taking SPSUteach coursework even if you decide not to teach.
If you decide to teach, SPSUTeach prepares you for today's classroom. We offer you a BS or BA degree in your field of expertise (Chemistry, Biology, Physics or Mathematics) along with a teaching certificate. The SPSUTeach program is designed to provide you with exceptional education in your chosen discipline and a practical, thorough education in how to effectively teach high school science and mathematics.
To find out more about SPSUTeach, fill out our interest form, and we will be happy to answer any of your questions.

- Audiovisual research collections and their preservation (2008)
- The basic problem of primary audio and video research materials is clearly shown by the survey: A great and important part of the entire heritage is still outside archival custody in the narrower sense, scattered over many institutions in fairy small collections, and even in private hands. reservation following generally accepted standards can only be carried out effectively if collections represent critical mass. Specialised audiovisual archives will solve their problems, as they will sooner or later succeed in getting appropriate funding to achieve their aims. A very encouraging example is the case of the Netherlands. The larger audiovisual research archives will also manage, more or less autonomously, the transfer of contents in time. For a considerable part of the research collections, however, the concept of cooperative models and competence centres is the only viable model to successfullly safeguard their holdings. Their organisation and funding is a considerable challenge for the scientific community. TAPE has significantly raised awareness of the fact that, unless action is swiftly taken, the loss of audiovisual materials is inevitable. TAPE's international and regional workshops were generally overbooked. While TAPE was already underway, several other projects for the promotion of archives have received grants from organisations other than the European Commission, inter alia support for the St. Petersburg Phonogram Archive, and the Folklore Archive in Tirana, obviously as a result of a better understanding of the need for audiovisual preservation. When the TAPE project started its partners assumed that cooperative projects would fail because of the notorious distrust of researchers, specifically in the post-communist countries. One of the most encouraging surprises was to learn that, at least in the most recent survey, it became apparent that this social obstacle is fading out. TAPE may have contributed to this important development.

RIP Angelo Dundee
90 years old and seems like he died at peace.
I'm curious to see where they are going to try to rank him in terms of greatest trainers of all time. With his time with Ali and Sugar Ray Leonard, I would expect he would be in the top, if not considered the greatest.

No, he wasn't the greatest trainer of all time. Ali trained himself. When 'Clay' phoned him to spar with Willie Pastrano and Willie agreed, Angie thought Pastrano was taking it easy or was just out of sorts. Pastrano put him wise: "Angie he beat the crap out me".
Ray Charles Leonard? same again. Janks Morton helped to mould him etc. Angie was brought in to fine tune after all the hard work had been done.
I liked him and he did a couple of great things with Clay/Ali. He sent him out against Liston when he wanted to quit cos of dodgy liquid in his eyes and he rescued him at the end of his career when Herbert Muhammad wouldn't....
RIP Angelo. You were Great.

BaitBus: Straight men getting busy with gay sex.
So this week on the Bait Bus we have our good friend Galvin, He stopped by to get him some straight cock for the holidays. We hit up Miami and see what wild and crazy thing we can scoop off the streets. We run into Occupy Miami and turns out there is a lot of victims just waiting to get baited in. Johnny turns out to be our lucky winner and doesn't take much to get him to see the light once we get him on the bus. Before you know it he is naked and getting his dick sucked off by Galvin, once he realizes the mess he got himself into he nearly loses it. We shoot him a couple of numbers that he can't resist and soon after his ass opens up for business. Enjoy

Note: The information in this article is time-sensitive and subject to change. Always check with airlines ahead of time.
BIKES ARE BIG. And so when you fly with your bicycle, that one geometric fact means that airline companies are likely going to charge you extra.
How much extra depends on the airline. Fees range from JetBlue's and Southwest's reasonable $50 per bike each way to the $200 one-way fare US Airways and Delta charge. At $400 in added fees, a round-trip on Delta between Atlanta and Los Angeles would be cheaper if your bike flew as a passenger.
Some airlines are getting the memo. Beginning April 13, Frontier Airlines ended its bike-handling fee for passengers of the more expensive "Classic" and "Classic Plus" tickets. And for the past two years, in honor of the Tour de France, JetBlue has made bike transit free from July 1 to July 30 (an airline spokeswoman could not confirm that the promotion would happen again this summer).
A portion of the bike fee is based in reality. Larger bags are harder to load and require special handling by the ground crew. In rare circumstances—as with visible damage to a hard-shell case, or divine intervention—airlines may even pay for damages.
The majority of airlines will, theoretically, waive the bike fees if your bicycle doesn't exceed size and weight restrictions of a "normal" bag, but unless you're riding a collapsible, BMX, or kid's bike, that's a long shot. The "normal" size and weight of non-oversize baggage most airlines seemed to have settled on is 62 dimensional inches (the sum of the length, width, and height) and lighter than 50 pounds.
First things first. Before your bike flies, it'll need to be in box form. Airlines typically prefer hard-shell cases or cardboard bike boxes, but soft cases can work provided there is ample padding. You'll have to remove your pedals and secure your handlebars (or you can encase both in foam or packing material).
If you're flying business class or internationally, the airline may waive some of the baggage fees. It'd be wise to check ahead with your airline if a leg of your journey involves a small regional aircraft, which may not have space for your oversize bag.

Donald Fels, Andrew Schloss and Dale Stammen
Weather Permitting
Ballard Branch, Seattle Public Library
5614 22nd Ave. N.W.
Libraries for All Bond 1% for Art
Donald Fels, Andrew Schloss and Dale Stammen built upon the unpredictable weather characteristic of the Northwest in two artworks that convert weather information into visual and auditory patterns.
Devices mounted on the library's roof collect and interpret environmental data via a complex computer program that responds to climatic change, triggering LED displays and live and recorded audio. Weather Permitting uses the collected data to create an image on LED displays inside the library of the motion of air molecules flowing across the roof. Flow, the audio-artwork in the adjacent Neighborhood Service Center, responds to changes in the weather by selecting different combinations of sounds from hundreds recorded in the Ballard area. These include train whistles, surf, dogs barking, boat and vehicular traffic, children playing, and real time rooftop audio from a hydrophone (an underwater microphone submerged in a vessel on the roof).
The artists were inspired by the unpredictability of weather and the library's function as both a repository and generator of information. The subtly powerful works bring the natural environment to the attention of library patrons and exposes them to a new artistic experience each time they visit the library.

'Adventures of Spawn' Artist Answers Some Questions
Friday, August 25, 2006
For those of you who don't know, Khary Randolph is the tremendously talented artist who has graced us with his skill in making our Adventures of Spawn online comic so successful.
As we ramp up our potentially large online comic project, we thought it would be a good time to get a little Q&A started to let you all get to know him better.
Khary, how long would you say you have been a professional artist?
I've been working professionally for about seven years now, which is pretty mind blowing to me. After all this time it feels like I've just begun. I still have so much to learn.
Did you want to be an artist from an early age?
Always, from the time I could hold a pencil. Well no, that's not 100 percent true. There was a period where I wanted to be a marine biologist... but I don't swim very well. Art was a close second. But I've always been drawing, for as long as I can remember. So if I can't swim with the sharks, I can at least draw them.
Who are the major influences on your art style (don't have to be comic book-related)?
Geez, influences ... there are so many of them. Currently, I'm really big on guys like Brian Stelfreeze, Jason Pearson, Stuart Immonen and Dave Johnson. I love artists who understand design and movement. I'm also in love with animation, both American, anime or otherwise. And then there are just the friends of mine in the industry that motivate me, like Skottie Young, Greg Titus, Lesean Thomas, Cory Walker, etc.
How did you break into the comic book field?
I got a lucky break. I had been trying to break in for years with limited success. I had done some small-time independent stuff here and there, but my big break was in 2003 when I got to do a fill-in issue on Spider-Clan, Marvel's manga Spider-Man book. Skottie Young had to bow out to work on another book, and he suggested my name to CB Cebulski, the editor. CB put me on and the rest is history.
What were your favorite comics as a kid?
Well, when I was really young, the only comic book that REALLY mattered to me was Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. I was obsessed with that stuff. I didn't really get into the Marvel and DC stuff until much later. When I hit my teenage years, that was around the time Image exploded and so I was all about anything by Liefeld, Lee, Silvestri, McFarlane, all those guys. My art back then was heavily influenced by them. I was a straight-up Image clone.
Any recent favorite comics out there?
Nextwave is probably my favorite comic right now; I can't get enough of that stuff. And The Ultimates. Oh, and both Invincible and The Walking Dead are books I buy faithfully. That's about it, though. I don't make it to the comic book shop nearly as much as I used to.
Some of our readers may not be aware, but you have worked on a lot of titles for different companies, with Spider-Man: Legend of the Spider-Clan No. 5 being one of my personal favorites. That being said, do you have any particular book that you enjoyed working on for whatever reason?
My absolute favorite book that I've worked on up to this point would probably be Mutant 2099 for Marvel. It was only one issue, but it was something I got to create completely from the ground up, so I have a soft spot for it. It was the book that I felt was the most "me," I guess, where I didn't have to follow any one else's lead. I put a lot into that book. That and Teen Titans Go No. 22, because it was the first book where I've done all the artwork from start to finish. So it was the closest I've ever come to actually achieving putting down on paper what I had in my head.
Which work do you personally prefer, advertising work or comic work?
Comics is definitely my first love so I have to go with that, but I love both industries for different reasons. I love comics because you have the ability to tell actual stories, and convey ideas and messages. It's an amazing medium. The downside is that it's REALLY HARD, ha ha. The deadlines are demanding and you really have to be able to draw anything at a moment's notice. Advertising, on the other hand, is fun because you get to work on a lot of different things, and even if your name isn't necessarily on everything you do, you reach a much wider audience than comics currently do. The downside to advertising is that the editorial influence (i.e., art directors) is much stronger than comics, so your voice does tend to get very watered down in the art you produce. There are a lot more hands in the pot and a lot more bosses on top of you, so the final product is very rarely what you originally had in mind. Comics is much more instantly gratifying.
Your online portfolio speaks volumes; you have really touched a lot of characters. Any character or universe you are still dying to do?
That's easy -- Batman, LOL. I need to do at least one Batman story in my lifetime. Oh, and I do have some creator owned projects I would like to work on, hopefully soon. That's my ultimate goal.
Let's jump into the Adventures of Spawn.
With The Adventures of Spawn, you are taking a character that is known for being dark and a bit more adult in nature, and instead illustrating a story that has more of a Saturday morning cartoon vibe to it. Does the character's past come into play in a situation like this -- do you take into account the look and feel that has come before and try to put your own spin on it, or do you simply "do what you do" based on the script?
A little of both. My approach to the art has been, "lighthearted, but black-heavy." As in, I've been spotting blacks much more in this artwork so that it still fits in the darker Spawn universe, but knowing that it's meant for a younger audience, I have tried to keep it still bouncy and fun. It's an odd mix, but hopefully I'm succeeding.
Would you say something similar about the work you did for the Hellboy animation?
Sort of, yeah. My involvement with Hellboy was minor, but it did have a similar kind of tone to it. Although Hellboy was slighty darker.
Before we contacted you, did the thought ever cross your mind that you might one day be drawing Spawn?
Never in a million years. Not because I didn't want to per se, but because of the nature of a lot of the stuff I do, I do have a reputation to be more of a lighthearted, cartoony kind of artist. Thus, most of the projects I'm put on tend to be in the same category. Spawn certainly isn't known for being lighthearted OR cartoony.
What are your thoughts on this project?
I think it's an interesting experiment and I just hope that people dig the work. I'm having a blast drawing the stuff -- all I can hope is that the readers have as much fun reading it. Oh, and the toys are OFF THE HOOK.
Working with other writers in the field, have you developed a personal preference on what you need from a writer to start on a story?
To be honest, not really. I try to be as versatile as I can when it comes to projects, so no matter what I get I try I roll with whatever comes and do my best with it. I've gotten to a point where I can at least be a bit choosy with the jobs I get, so I don't take them unless I think it will be fun and I know I can put 110 percent into it.
Of the characters in Adventures of Spawn, which one is your favorite to draw, and why?
Easily Cy-Gor. I mean c'mon, he's a giant cybernetic gorilla. I could draw that all day long.
Do you have any interest in other characters from the TMP universe?
Possibly Sam & Twitch, just because a gritty crime drama is such a stretch from what I'm used to doing. It'd be a real challenge for me
Thanks for your time with this Khary, we really appreciate it, as well as the work you are doing on this project. Hopefully we can get together again on another project soon.
Most definitely man. Holla atcha boy!

Notable quotables from around campus
"We need lawyers with the kind of skill sets that the world needs—like empathy, persuasiveness and the willingness to have the courage to do the right thing—which the LSAT does not measure."
Jeffrey Brand, dean of the School of Law, quoted Nov. 7 in the Wall Street Journal about looking beyond scores on the standard law school admission test.
"If there is a silver lining, the large-scale downsizing from major companies will release a lot of new entrepreneurial talent and ideas—scientists, engineers, business folks now looking to do other things. It's a Darwinian unleashing of talent into the entrepreneurial ecosystem."
Mark Cannice, associate professor of business, quoted March 14 in the New York Times about the down economy sparking new ideas.
"After 15 years of hearing about 'India Shining,' Slumdog brings it down to earth. Does that mean we'll see Bollywood films set in slums? I doubt it."
Vamsee Juluri, associate professor of media studies, quoted Feb. 22 in the San Francisco Chronicle about Academy Award-winning film Slumdog Millionaire. "India Shining" was a political slogan reflecting India's new prosperity.
"During the good times, people in San Francisco liked having a jet-setting mayor. But in the context of budget problems, it's different. The perception early in his term was, 'Isn't this great that we have this young, vibrant mayor who's promoting San Francisco around the world?' And now it's like we have this mayor who's somewhere else when he should be right here."
Corey Cook, assistant professor of politics, quoted March 15 in the San Francisco Chronicle about San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom's recent trips.
"There is a dirty little secret that operates in the battle to 'save' Darfur. It is the same dirty secret that has plagued Africa for years. Its name is colonialism and in Darfur, this impulse is alive and well. It exists in the guise of many of the large advocacy organizations who seem to feel that only white middle class people can 'save' the people of the region by extracting money on their behalf."
Anne Bartlett, assistant professor of sociology and director of the Darfur Centre for Human Rights and Development, in an opinion piece that ran April 7 in the Sudan Tribune.

YouTube started to add links to iTunes and Amazon MP3 for music videos from EMI Music and Universal Music. "Click-to-buy links are non-obtrusive retail links, placed on the watch page beneath the video with the other community features. Just as YouTube users can share, favorite, comment on, and respond to videos quickly and easily, now users can click-to-buy products -- like songs and video games -- related to the content they're watching on the site," announces Google Blog.
YouTube hopes to add this option for other types of videos and to offer an alternative way to monetize videos. "Our vision is to help partners across all industries -- from music, to film, to print, to TV -- offer useful and relevant products to a large, yet targeted audience, and generate additional revenue from their content on YouTube beyond the advertising we serve against their videos."
For now, the links are only available in the US, but they will be added internationally if this experiment turns out to be a success. YouTube shows ads only next to the videos uploaded or claimed by its partners, which account for 4% of the videos hosted by YouTube.

Jones County has hosted the annual fund-raisers for the American Cancer Society for two decades and has raised an excess of a million dollars for cancer research. The Relay For Life is one of the biggest events of the year for the Jones County/Gray community and unites the participants like nothing else. The Relay event is in peril, however, because of state food service regulations. These regulations are not new. They have been part of the Georgia Code since 1998 but they are just now being enforced.
A simple question in a Jones County Board of Health meeting a couple of years ago, by a well-intentioned board member, brought the idea of inspections of food providers at a local festival to light. The resulting food inspections at the Gray Station Better Hometown Daylilly Festival have eliminated local civic clubs, non-profit organizations, and churches that were using the event to raise money by selling food.
The vendors that attend the Daylily Festival are all professional food vendors, and environmental specialist Floyd Comer says those inspections are no longer a problem.
The exception to that is the Pilot Club of Jones County, whose baked goods are not covered by the regulations. For some reason, cookies and cakes fall under the umbrella of the Department of Agriculture.

text: LOGAN -- Landau Eugene Murphy Jr. has made good on his promise to come home. The America's Got Talent winner and Sony recording artist has just purchased a home in Logan County, and now will play a special homecoming Christmas benefit concert Saturday Dec. 22 at the Coalfield Jamboree Theatre on Main Street in Logan. Tickets are just $20 in advance, $30 the day of the show and are available at all Logan Bank and Trust locations in downtown Logan, Chapmanville, Man, Harts and the Fountain Place Mall while supplies last starting Monday December 10th. Tickets will also be available online at www.landaumurphyjr.com. In addition, you can bring a canned food donation to the show for the opportunity to meet Landau after the show. All food donations will be distributed locally to needy families in Logan County. The concert is being presented by Landau's former employer Mike Ferrell Toyota as well as Logan Bank and Trust and as a 60th anniversary concert for WVOW Radio in Logan, which first hit the air in 1952 and was the first radio station in America to play Landau's music. Many out of town fans are expected to attend the concert, which is being promoted to Landau's hundreds of thousands of online followers, so local residents are encouraged to purchase tickets quickly before they sell out. "If you have family traveling into Logan from out of town for the weekend before Christmas, what a special treat it would be for them to bring them to the concert, help our radio station celebrate our anniversary and take them to see the lights at Christmas In The Park", said WVOW morning announcer Dave Allen. Landau had a special thank you for the Hatfield and McCoy Convention and Visitors Bureau for all their support during his America's Got Talent competition. "I love Greg, Debrina, Chad, Jim and all those folks at the CVB, and if you need recommendations on lodging, restaurants and what to do with your out of town family while they're in the area for the holidays, those are the people to definitely call." You can reach the CVB at (304) 752-6020 or online at http://www.hatfieldmccoycvb.com/. It's been a busy autumn for Landau; he and his band performed Veterans Day weekend for U.S. troops stationed in Germany. The Armed Forces Entertainment tour included stops in Stuttgart and Edelweiss. "It was a real honor to play for our brave men and women who are keeping our country safe, and to meet them and their families stationed abroad", said Landau's manager Burke Allen. Landau moved into his new Logan County home as soon as he got back from Europe, enjoyed a few days off for Thanksgiving with his wife Jennifer and their children, and is eager to kick off a brief Christmas tour December 13th.Landau and some members of his touring band also spent several days in the studio in November laying down cuts for an upcoming Christmas C.D. While the C.D. won't be released until Christmas 2013, several of the holiday tracks, which were recorded and engineered with producer Ritch Collins, are completed. Landau has a few extra treats in store for fans of holiday music. "We're going to preview some of these songs during a the Logan Christmas concert, just to make sure we give our fans what they want in a Christmas album. It was such a busy year that I wasn't able to put as much time into the Christmas C.D. as I would've liked, and I really want it to be special. We want to make it so good that you'll want to play it year after year." 2013 is shaping up to be a big one for Landau, who hits the road in January to Tulsa Oklahoma for a performance at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino there January 9th. Then, they head south to the Sunshine State to Panama City's Marina Civic Center Friday night January 11th show. Landau wrap ups January working on his next CD and playing a pair of up close and personal shows at the Greenbrier Resort Casino Friday January 25th and Saturday January 26th. The dates will feature Landau's jazz combo of drummer Ken Tackett, bassist Steve Heffner, pianist Sean Parsons and trumpet Jeff Flanagan, with guest soloist Jeff Bryant. Then in February if all goes as planned, Landau will head out on a 38 city coast-to-coast tour with America's Got Talent which will keep him on the road through April. But first, it's Christmas at home in Logan. "I really hope to see all my family and friends at the WVOW Christmas concert at the Coalfield Jamboree; that's where it all started for me so it's going to be very special", said Landau. "Merry Christmas everyone!"

Head Coach Wes Moore
Thoughts on the game
"I'm proud of our kids. We came out with a lot of energy, our defense was really good and we applied a lot of pressure. We kept the ball to the sideline a lot and forced some turnovers to get some points. We scored 29 points off of turnovers. I'm really proud of the defensive effort. Ashlen has been very effective inside for us. Alex knocked down some jumpers tonight. Kayla Christopher has been shooting the ball well. Taylor Hall hasn't been scoring as much late, but she had seven assists and no turnovers. We did a lot of good things when you look at the stats sheet. It's a good way to enter conference play with a 2-0 record, but we have a long way ahead of us. We have to continue to get better."
Thoughts on the dominate SoCon performance
"You have days like that. We shot 56 percent from the field and looked outstanding, and Furman seemed to struggle. When they did get an open look it just wasn't going for them tonight. That being said, I think our defense had a lot to do with it. We forced turnovers, got some steals and it was fun to watch. We came out with a lot of energy, and our defense applied a lot of pressure. We did a good job of dictating their offense and what they tried to do. I am proud of that."
On finding time to get younger players minutes on the court
"I may have left them out there a little too long, but it was nice to have a little bit of a buffer and get some of the younger players in the game. We have some kids who haven't gotten a whole lot of opportunities in game situations, and we've had to base all of our decisions on practice. It was nice to get them into a game situation and see what they can do. And it was nice to be able to give our kids a rest."

The last 6 weeks have been the most frightening of my life and i am struggling to find people to talk to who understand how i feel. I thought by joinging this support group and talking about it emotionally it will help. Here is my story.
At 32 weeks pregnant at a routine midwife appointment i had four raised blood pressure readings all around 162/108. I was admitted to the maternity assessment unit at the hospital for further monitoring but released after 3 hours as blood pressure stabilised and no protein was present in my urine.
At 33 weeks pregnant i went for an additional midwife appointment to check that my blood pressure remained stable, this time i had 6 readings with the lowest being 178/118 with +2 protein in my urine - again i was sent to the maternity assessment unit whereby they kept me in for 48 hours and completed a 24 hour urine collection. On saturday 20th April the midwife told me she was waiting for the drs to do their rounds but i would be discharged and monitored but in the meantime they would put me on the ctg machine to monitor the babys movements (as i had an anterior placenta and felt very little movement).
Whilst hooked up to the machine babies heartrate kept droping from 134 to 60 then back to 134 then back to 60. Once the midwife noticed this a doctor was by my side within minutes. I have explained i had been getting headaches but assumed this was due to work stress, my fingers had swollen as had my face and feet but everyone kept telling me thats normal in pregnancy. Within 5 minutes of talking to the doctor she told me that i needed to deliver the baby within the hour... needless to say i was shocked! luckily my husband had just got to the hospital (thinking he was going to take me home) whilst he called my mum to put some bits together for me i had two nurses undress me, take of my jewellery whilst i just stood there numb. An anethsetist told me i would need to be put to sleep as i had just had breakfast and that i have received some extremely high kidney readings 12 hours before - i persisted with him that i needed to be awake so my husband could be there. It wasn't until i was sat on the operating table waiting to the anethsetist to give me the general that my earlier blood work came back which was stable enough for me to go ahead and received a spinal.
Whilst being wheeled to the operating theatre so many people came and spoke to us about what was going to happen and most importantly what to expect of our baby... we were told the baby would be between 4-5lb, probably blue and flopping and may not cry but this is normal due to babies prematurity. We were told we would not see our baby and it would be taken straight to intensive care.
37 minutes after the dr made the decision to deliver our baby and 3 minutes into the procedure our little girl was born at 33 weeks 5 days weighing 2lb 12, and worry set in when the surgeon said ' this baby is alot smaller than it should be' we caught our first glimpse of the baby and she was taken away. Then it was time to remove my placenta which was the size of a tennis ball and black, i was immediately diagnosed with severe pre-eclampsia and the baby had an obvious uterine growth restriction.
I was taken to recovery and eventually up to the ward. The midwife managed to talk to NICU staff into letting them wheel me through the NICU on the hospital bed so i could see my baby for the first time, my visit lasted no longer than a minute before i had to be taken to the ward for hourly observations.
our parents arrived shortly after and the midwife told my husband that he could take the new grandparents to meet our little baby girl, they were so excited and they all scuttled off eager to meet the new arrival leaving me alone on a ward still in shock. That was the most painful part of my whole experience the fact that other people got to meet my baby properly before me, i had to put on a brave face whilst they told me how beautiful she was and what colour her eyes and hair were whilst showing me pictures when i should have discovered all those things myself, i should have been the first.
I got to hold our little girl the following day after surgery and that was the first time i got to see her properly, she was in an incubator in high dependency but had as much skin to skin contact with her as possible. We were then told her size was that of a 26-28 week old baby not almost 34 weeks. We are extremly lucky that she could breath unassisted, after 4 days she was able to regulate her own temperature and didn't need any other assistance other than antibiotics (as i didnt have steriods to mature her lungs before birth.)
In total we spend 10 days on the NICU, and 3 weeks in hospital in total. We have been home almost 3 weeks now and shes almost 5 weeks old and now 4lb 13oz.
Our experience is only just starting to sink in, and this has terrified me of ever wanting to fall pregnant again. It would be great if i could talk to some other lovely mums with a similar experience to help get my head around it all.

On 16-17 December 2013, during their trilogue meeting, the Lithuanian EU Council Presidency, the European Parliament and the European Commission reached a preliminary agreement on the framework of the EU audit reform, which was endorsed by member states on 18 December in COREPER. It needs now the final nod of the European Parliament, planned for January 2014, and of the Council.
Sue Almond Technical Director at ACCA (the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants) says: 'ACCA congratulates the European Parliament, the Council and the European Commission for the agreement reached on the compromise text regarding the Proposals for a new Regulation and for amendments of the Directive on audit, after months of tough negotiations.
'It is important that we do not allow the recent controversies to overshadow some of the critical achievements of the negotiations of these measures. In particular, we have moved substantially closer to the adoption of a single set of international standards, which is critical for businesses operating in a global environment. We are therefore pleased to see progress on the adoption of International Standards on Auditing (ISAs) by the EU. Ethics, especially non-audit services, has clearly been an area where there are divergent views, but much of the detail that is contained in the proposed regulation on this issue is now in line with the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants (IESBA), a step that we support. We are also pleased to see that the role of the audit committee has been recognised in overseeing the provision of non-audit services.'
'The challenge for the audit profession will be to implement these changes in a way that helps restore public confidence in the audit, and in auditors. Audit plays a critical role in supporting global business and it is important that the profession now responds in a positive way that enhances the value of audit to companies and their stakeholders,' Sue Almond concludes.
