We have all heard about alternative energy sources, like wind and solar power. This topic is becoming more popular given the ever ending upward spiral of energy costs. You can significantly reduce or even eliminate your monthly electric bill by turning to San Francisco Residential Solar Power.
Something can be said for the old adage, timing is everything. We know the electric company is planning their next rate increase. San Francisco Residential Solar Power on the other hand never increases it rate, because power from the sun is free. The electric company wants you to think going solar is too expensive. Yet, the cost of solar power is at its lowest point ever. Some innovative solar companies like Verengo attractive offer lease to own options. This takes the bite out of any upfront investment, and frees you from the grid in the process.
Considering a solar installation for your home is indeed a big step and must be carefully thought out. Choosing the right solar dealer can be a difficult task, unless you know how. The best way to choose a vendor is to investigate what they offer, and their reputation. Many solar companies only sell and install solar. At first glance this might seem like the best way to proceed. However, this approach forces the solar installer to sell you the biggest, and therefore the most expensive solar system. This is a flawed approach to going solar.
Verengo use a unique whole house process. This means they will analyze how energy efficient your home is and then offer you recommendations. For example, if your home is currently equipped with old drafty windows you are spending a fortune to heat and cool your home. Yet, Verengo can install top of the line windows to help seal up your house. You can then install a smaller solar power system on your home, which will save you money. Plus, your home will be warmer in winter and cooler in the summer.
Certainly being free of a constantly increasing electric bill is a compelling reason to consider solar. In addition, the federal government and several states offer generous tax credits simply for installing solar panels on your home. Add in Venango's full home energy savings approach and you could save thousands of dollars every year. Venango is the right San Francisco Residential Solar Power company for you.

AFRICA/TUNISIA - A day of prayer and peace for the Arab world proclaimed by the Church in Tunisia
Tunis (Agenzia Fides) -The Catholic Tunisian community has proclaimed a day of prayer and fasting for peace, on Sunday, August 25, in solidarity with the population of the Arab Countries shaken by violence and instability.
This is what is said in a statement sent to Fides Agency, signed by His Exc. Mgr. Ilario Antoniazzi, Archbishop of Tunis.
"Our Church follows with sadness the painful and unstable events that are taking place in several Arab Countries, the Middle East and Africa", says the document. "We believe that God is the Lord of History, and through faith we know that, even through difficulties, everything contributes to the good of those who love him sincerely".
"We also know that the Merciful Heart of the Lord is never indifferent to any suffering".
"Based on this certainty -continues the statement - in solidarity with all our brothers and sisters who are suffering, Christians or Muslims, we ask our communities: to consecrate next Sunday (August 25) to prayer and fasting for peace; to exhort in the Sunday homilies to take part in the initiative; to propose to our sick brothers and sisters to offer their sufferings to the Lord for peace".
"That through the intercession of the Virgin Mary, Mother of God, our Mother and Queen of Peace, may the Lord bless us and bless each of our Countries", concluded Mgr. Antoniazzi. (L.M.) (Agenzia Fides 23/08/2013)

Last night in Washington, D.C., Kris Kobach and his cadre of lawmaking Republicans unveiled their master plan for an Illegal-Free America. They said they were launching an effort to deny citizenship to kids born in this country to undocumented parents.
Their argument is that the 14th Amendment should only apply to children who have at least one parent who is a permanent resident or citizen, not to everyone born in the United States, as it's presently worded.
Kobach told the Washington Post the plan: First, resurrect the concept of "state citizenship." Then deny it to the descendants of illegals.
Kobach said that in addition to creating state citizenship, the plan calls for segregated birth certificates. They plan to draw up a state compact, a measure that needs to be approved by Congress, not the president, in order to become enforceable. The compact would call for separate birth certificates for children with "state citizenship" and those without, allowing for status-at-a-glance.
Civil rights groups are calling the move racist against Latino immigrants, and they say there's
already an established precedent in place when it comes to the 14th
Amendment. (When the Constitution said everyone born in the United
States was a citizen of the United States, the Supreme Court found that it wasn't joking
But Kobach knows that there's a clause in the Constitution somewhere, damn it, written in Magic Ink, that says "except for illegals."

Take a look at several David Mitchell-designed rooms, and you might be hard-pressed to find similarities. The spaces are all clean, comfortable, and well edited, but beyond that the styles are incredibly varied. And that's exactly what Mitchell wants to achieve.
"The days of a designer with a signature look are over," he says.
Mitchell prides himself on not inserting his own tastes into a client's home and prefers drawing on their personalities to create tailor-made spaces. He's come a long way since his days of rearranging his parents' living room furniture to his liking, which he says led eventually to his career in design.
With a degree from Virginia Commonwealth University and more than 20 years in Washington under his belt, he has become intimately familiar with the design preferences of our fair city. And he's even built an arsenal of tools he relies on in each project to achieve his signature "non-signature" style.
"Color adds depth and interest, and really brings personality to a room. We live in a city of beige, but I've found that people who live in a house with color are happier, which is why I love working with color in my designs. We use ethereal colors to create serene spaces. I actually had a client tell me I had ruined her social life because now all she wants to do is stay in her home."
"There is nothing worse than a house without something on the walls, but so many people are intimidated by artwork. We love to show our clients how to incorporate art into their home and how it can be individualized to their tastes."
"It's not unusual in Washington to find that clients want a room to be completed. They're busy people and don't have time to find the finishing accessories. And I'm the guy who likes a project to be completed, so I love finding those last little accents that complete a look."
Handmade Objects
"One of the things I want when working with clients is to ensure that their home winds up reflecting their tastes, not mine. Handmade items can bring that sense of individuality to a room."
McLain Weisland's "Estate" Mirror
"This is my go-to mirror, and it is perfect. It can look great in either a traditional or a modern interior, which is why it's one of the few things I'll actually repeat in spaces. It's very architectural, so it spices up a home that may be lacking architecturally and gives it that instant 'wow'. It measures 42 inches, which I think is the perfect size; it makes it suitable for a powder room, over the fireplace, or in your dining room. I just ordered it for my own house."

Marvel All New, All Different - Ongoing Discussion (Spoilers)

Re: Marvel Now/ReEvolution Ongoing Discussion (Spoilers)
Why would Marvel do this even for viral reasons? They've been on their high horse about spoilers regarding "Dying Wish" since before it even came out? That would piss a lot of fans off given the way that Wacker and Slott have been trolling various sites and telling people oh avoid spoilers avoid spoilers, and then it turns out they might be responsible? That doesn't make sense me. This seems like it was just some guy in a shop that got mad and maybe posted it.
Praetor Shinzon
this is an actual unfolding story arc...like I said there supposedly is a back door plot in 700, so yes I agree that it will be "undone" (most likely before 2 comes out in 2014) but this isn't like "One More Day" or "One Moment in Time" where those were one shot stories that changed the status quo and had long lasting ramifications (that are still being upheld now it would seem). The change in "Dying Wish" is part of an over reaching arc. That's the difference between the two stories to me, and why I don't really have a problem with it and think it's fascinating.

Supermodel Heidi Klum wore a slinky black gown by Marchesa to the Golden Globes — and as you can guess, it was anything but basic. The brand's designers, Keren Craig and Georgina Chapman, made the dress even more glamorous with the addition of white floral embroidery that cascaded down the sheer skirt. And while we love a little decoration, we're wondering if the appliqués here were among your favorites from this red carpet.

Unusual Cancers of Childhood Treatment (PDQ®): Treatment - Health Professional Information [NCI] - Abdominal Cancers
Prognostic factors
In patients with localized disease, age between 0 and 3 years, virilization alone, normal blood pressure, disease stage I, absence of spillage during surgery, and tumor weight no greater than 200 grams were associated with a greater probability of survival. In a Cox regression model analysis, only stage I, virilization alone, and age 0 to 3 years were independently associated with a better outcome.[3] Available data suggest that tumor size is especially important in children; patients with small tumors have an excellent outcome with surgery alone, regardless of histologic features.[28] The overall probability of 5-year survival for children with adrenocortical tumors is reported to be 54% to 74%.[3,9,10,12,27,28]
Treatment of adrenocortical tumors
At the time of diagnosis, two-thirds of pediatric patients have limited disease (tumors can be completely resected), and the remaining patients have either unresectable or metastatic disease.[3]
Treatment of childhood adrenocortical tumors has evolved from the data derived from the adult studies, and the same guidelines are used; surgery is the most important mode of therapy, and mitotane and cisplatin-based regimens, usually incorporating doxorubicin and etoposide, are recommended for patients with advanced disease.[7,29,30]; [12][Level of evidence: 3iiiA] An aggressive surgical approach of the primary tumor and all metastatic sites is recommended when feasible.[31,32] Because of tumor friability, rupture of the capsule with resultant tumor spillage is frequent (approximately 20% of initial resections and 43% of resections after recurrence).[3,10] When the diagnosis of adrenocortical tumor is suspected, laparotomy and a curative procedure are recommended rather than fine-needle aspiration, to avoid the risk of tumor rupture.[32,33] Laparoscopic resection is associated with a high risk of rupture and peritoneal carcinomatosis; thus, open adrenalectomy remains the standard of care.[34]
Little information is available about the use of mitotane in children, although response rates appear to be similar to those seen in adults.[1,29] A retrospective analysis in Italy and Germany identified 177 adult patients with adrenocortical carcinoma. Recurrence-free survival was significantly prolonged by the use of adjuvant mitotane. Benefit was present with 1 to 3 g per day of mitotane and was associated with fewer toxic side effects than doses of 3 to 5 g per day.[35] In a review of 11 children with advanced adrenocortical tumors treated with mitotane and a cisplatin-based chemotherapeutic regimen, measurable responses were seen in seven patients. The mitotane daily dose required for therapeutic levels was around 4 g/m2, and therapeutic levels were achieved after 4 to 6 months of therapy.[29] In the GPOH-MET 97 trial, mitotane levels greater than 14 mg/L correlated with better survival.[12]

Tens of thousands of Rockfordians are expected to vote today if the 2008 presidential election is any indication.
In 2008, 69.4 percent of Rockford's registered voters cast a ballot, said Kenneth Harper, executive director of the Rockford Board of Election Commissioners. If that same percentage vote in 2012, Rockford's 358 election judges stationed throughout the city will monitor the casting of a total 59,578 ballots.
That means long lines at polling places, but reports are those lines are moving about as quickly as one would expect for a presidential election.
"The key is to keep things orderly and keep people as happy as we can in our lines by giving them as much information as we can," Harper said. "That way they don't neccessarily enjoy their time in line, but they don't feel like they are wasting their time."
Voters could see election results rolling out of Rockford election headquarters as they are counted starting around 8 p.m. if things continue to go smoothly.
If anyone in Rockford needs help finding a polling place, they should log on to voterockford.com. Voters can also call the Rockford Board of Elections at 815-987-5750. Because it's election day, the phones have been ringing constantly so keep trying if you get a busy signal, Harper said.

The ROI for upgrading the windows at the Empire State Building showed that the upgrade would be beneficial. However, more money was saved by improving the building's current windows than replacing them.
Like all potential large investments, there are numerous considerations and calculations that go along with upgrading a building's windows to a more energy-efficient variety.
"In considering the decision to upgrade a building's windows to achieve energy savings, there is a central issue and several surrounding issues," says Craig Bloomfield, vice president of public relations for Jones Lang LaSalle. "The central issue is a comparison of the upfront cost to the energy savings that will occur over time – the simple payback period."
Determining the simple payback period is just the starting point – there are several other factors in the upgrade equation.
Calculate and Compare
There are several tools to calculate the payback period and help make the replacement decision. "You can calculate the payback period quite accurately by using energy modeling programs to project the amount of energy that will be saved by implementing higher performing windows," says Bloomfield. "Having an energy modeling program does not make the calculations easy – you still need to know what you're doing – but it provides an accurate picture of energy performance based on the improvements you're considering."
Jones Lang LaSalle planned several capital projects at the Empire State Building, including the addition of a new chiller to cool corridors throughout the building.
"Through integrated energy modeling, we found that retrofitting the building's 6,500-plus windows would reduce the load on the chillers by approximately 33%, eliminating a $24 million chiller project," explains Craig Bloomfield, vice president of public relations for the company. "It was the window project that made a significant part of our chiller strategy so effective. In this case, improving the windows was very economical."
It is important to note, however, that the windows were improved, not replaced. "We found out that it would be less expensive and would result in better efficiency if we reused and upgraded the existing windows than if we replaced them," he says. "The existing windows were double-pane windows. In order to more than double their performance, we removed each window from its sash, cleaned the two separated pieces of glass, and inserted a third pane of suspended coated film with glazing that cuts down on heat and glare from direct sunlight." A krypton/argon mixture was injected into the air gaps of the windows, which quadrupled the window's thermal insulation value.
In this case, a window upgrade project made sense and ended up saving a lot of cents.
Building Balance
Energy modeling can help you reach a balance between cost and savings by determining the best combination of energy improvement measures. "It is an integral step of a process we call an integrated energy retrofit," explains Bloomfield. "One strategy may impact the effectiveness of other strategies. If you look at window replacement by itself, you may be missing the real cost-benefit opportunity."
Calculating the return on replacing existing windows with energy-efficient ones requires a whole building energy performance analysis, including the direct efficiency benefits from the windows and the impact of that benefit on the HVAC system, says Lowinski. "Replacing existing windows with high-performing products will change the building operating loads, especially those related to balancing air movement, perimeter heating/cooling, and daylighting control. It is even possible that highly efficient window replacement would need to include resizing of HVAC heating or cooling equipment."
"For example, in cooling-dominated climate zones, use of high-efficiency windows could mean that air conditioning equipment runs less frequently," he adds. "Since AC also removes moisture in addition to cooling, buildings might experience excessively high moisture content if AC equipment does not operate often enough. Resizing the equipment along the use of high-efficiency windows will reduce overall energy usage and ensure effective building operation."
Adding together the payback period and the impact on other building systems will give you the true ROI of upgrading your buildings windows and let you know if that project is a window that you want to open.

Finn Gold Cup
28 Nov 15
Giles Scott (GBR) has secured his third Finn Gold Cup with two races to spare after the final fleet racing day in Takapuna, New Zealand.
Robert Deaves
In 2003 ISAF introduced a standard basic syllabus for the training of safety courses in order to establish an International recognized qualification. The training requirements form part of the ISAF Offshore Special Regulations. These course are run and established by ISAF Member National Authorities (MNAs) and conform to ISAF minimum standards. The following is a list of courses that are recognized:
A frequently asked question is whether an STCW 95 sea survival training is a permitted alternative. Ultimately what is acceptable is up to the race organizer however ISAF standard advice is NOT to accept STCW courses (however first aid course are accepted). The reason for this is that the STCW course is a commercial ship qualification and therefore does not contain sailing related items and recreational safety equipment.
The MNA currently has two approved centres:

Polycom Provides Gymnasium Union of Russia's Groundbreaking Education Program with Video-Enabled Classes to 35,000 Students and 1,400+ Education Institutions Polycom RealPresence video solutions provides distance learning and lecture capture to students and teachers across Russia providing collaborative learning and broad access Business Wire SAN JOSE, Calif. & MOSCOW -- November 12, 2013 Over 35 000 students, teachers and representatives of public organizations from federal Russian districts are benefiting from a ground-breaking "Gymnasium Union of Russia" (GUR) program. Developed by non-profit organization Russian Foundation for Education Support, the GUR program is powered by video collaboration solutions from Polycom, Inc. (Nasdaq:PLCM), the global leader in open, standards-based unified communications and collaboration (UC&C). Shown here: seminar held about the safety on the roads. Polycom video meetings are held with student ... Shown here: seminar held about the safety on the roads. Polycom video meetings are held with students, heads of schools, teachers, education officials, and police officers. (Photo: Business Wire) Today the Gymnasium Union of Russia is the largest national educational project in Russia. The pilot project began with seven schools in St. Petersburg and now has approximately 350 regional education centers. All centers are equipped with videoconferencing solutions and the services are used by more than 1,400 schools - including high schools, military schools and colleges of teacher training. The strategic aim of the GUR program is to organize the professional network of gymnasiums and lyceums in Russia through videoconferencing solutions. To date, the Foundation for Education Support is in active cooperation with the countries of near and far abroad countries: Armenia, Kazakhstan, Ukraine, Moldova, and Australia. More than 350 educational institutions are members of the GUR and each has one video-enabled classroom with Polycom® RealPresence® Room video solutions (including the Polycom VSX® 7000 and HDX® 6000).The GUR infrastructure is built on the Polycom® RealPresence® Platform, open, standards-based video infrastructure that provides the security, scale, manageability, flexibility, and high-definition (HD) quality required to enable large numbers of students and teachers to collaborate with virtually anyone via video in any work or classroom environment, using any type of device. Another key component is Polycom® RealPresence® Media Manager software, which allows classes and seminars to be recorded and made available to students and teachers who want to catch up on classes they missed or simply review material on their own time. "High reliability, functionality and continuity are crucial to us when it comes to choosing technologies for our teachers and students across all education institutions," said A.K. Fedorov, Vice President of the Foundation for Education Support and Head of the GUR. "When we analyzed the technical means by which we could unite different schools via video we reviewed various videoconferencing solutions. We picked Polycom because their solutions met all of our requirements and offered the most scalable, interoperable, and flexible solutions for the most reasonable cost. We take into account the key characteristics of equipment, as well as the cost when thinking about new purchases every year." The information network has an important impact on the entire education system of the Russian Federation, benefiting both the students and the educational institutions. Students and teachers now have the opportunity to attend lectures and participate – from wherever they are – in seminars from the best teachers and education professionals in the regions. Over 35,000 users, including students, teachers and representatives of public organizations, as well as state bodies across more than 1,400 institutions, appreciate the benefits of the new educational information network. As one teacher said, "I do not want to come home from a meeting and read the synopsis again in order to conceptualize and formulate something for myself. I can now make decisions in real-time during the video call." In the last five years the GUR has held over 2,000 video sessions across Russia and the Commonwealth of Independent States, many with over 70 participating locations. For the GUR, the power of face-to-face, real-time video collaboration: *Enables a new approach to learning at schools. *Extends the reach of experienced, qualified specialists. *Aims to improve teacher training for college graduates within any given specialty by pooling resources. *Reduces the costs of training courses and of collaborative development of educational resources. *Benefits teachers with continuous professional development. *Makes users and managers more efficient while saving valuable person-hours for technical engineers, experts, policy makers, and educators. Students and teachers are also utilizing the solutions for videoconferences with guest speakers from external organizations. For example, one of the latest seminars held via video was "Providing safe and comfortable travel for groups of children during summer vacations 2013; the organization of children's leisure in transit." The audience for the seminar included vice-governors, education and recreation officers, healthcare, emergency and police officers, firefighters, representatives of the parent community, heads of schools, teachers, and students. About the Foundation for Education Support and Gymnasium Union of Russia "Gymnasium Union of Russia" consistently implemented by Foundation for Education Support (www.fobr.ru) since 2007 in response to the request of the First Prime Minister of the Russian Federation D.A. Medvedev with the support of JSC "Gazprom" within the framework of the national project "Education." The strategic aim of the program is the organization of continuing professional networking of gymnasiums and lyceums in Russia through video conferencing.

hi sherri...
the alor setar bus station is in the middle of town... it is about 15-20 walk to the telekom tower... sorry but i do not know where the rice museum is... pedu lake resort is about 90km from alor setar town and there are no buses going to the resort but public buses will go until kuala nerang, about 50km from the resort at a charge... the resort does arrange transport to the resort from alor setar or kuala nerang but this must be pre-booked with the resort...
the nearest jetty to langkawi is at kuala kedah which is about 20km from alor setar town... gunong jerai is 100kn south of the town... it is easy to rent a car in alor setar and equally easy to drive to the above places of interest... of course, the most convenient and flexible option is to rent a car... or rent a taxi for the day (don't know the going rate though)...

Muzium Padi is located near alor setar. around 10 km from Alor Star bus station ( Shahab Perdana) There, u can get taxi or rent a car (better chartered a taxi).

I bought a cannondale super v700sl from a friend of mine.The only mechanical issue I can find is that the "headshok" will not adjust with the turn of the knob. It will NOT lock out either . I can turn it from left to right , no change in suspension nor will it lock out.
Can anyone tell me what the problem might be before I might take it into the shop? Do I need a new ctg?

Review for Gardner's House Inc, Hartford, CT, USA
My connection with Gardner's House was forged from shared experience of having loved ones who have bravely faced the rigors of cancer diagnosis, illness, and treatment. I was connected to Ms. Gardner while beginning my own research in this area as a Yale faculty member. As a two-time cancer survivor herself, I was immediately struck by Ms. Gardner's insight, compassion, and unwavering commitment to persons seeking assistance through her services. She has correctly identified "basic" needs--i.e., money for food, shelter, and transportation--as a key to assisting those who face cancer in the context of already limited resources. She tirelessly advocates for services to this end; to expand the efforts against cancer to move beyond a search for cures, to include the considerations of survivorship and quality of life for those living with, or in the wake of, illness experience, their lives forever transformed. Ms. Gardner's experience is unquestionable, her knowledge of extant resources encyclopedic, coupled with her inspiration and vision, she and her organization are uniquely positioned within the realm of survivorship services, to address needs that have heretofore gone unmet with the Hartford community, and beyond.
More Feedback
What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is...
the compassion, commitment, and energy of its membership.
The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were...
utterly dedicated, kind, and forward-thinking.
If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...
render more bearable the experience of cancer diagnosis, illness, and treatment, for so many living within our shared community. First through demonstration at the local Hartford level, and subsequently as an example for future national initiatives.
How frequently have you been involved with the organization?

To pull off the role of a transexual battling HIV in the film "Dallas Buyers Club," actor/musician Jared Leto pushed his body to the limits and embraced a drastic weight loss diet.
"I stopped eating," he told TheWrap. "It wasn't an easy thing to do. It was 30 or 40 pounds [I lost]. After a while, I stopped counting."
The 41-year-old, who credits his vegan diet for keeping him youthful, says that dropping down to 114 pounds had an all-encompassing impact on him. "It changes the way you walk, the way you sit, the way you think," he said.
Leto's co-star, Matthew McConaughey, who plays the film's central character Ron Woodroof, also lost 30 pounds on an all-liquid diet.
"I am drinking a lot of tea," he said last year. "It takes a while for your body to understand that it has to feed off of itself and that you're not going to give it something else from the outside."
"Dallas Buyers Club" hits theaters on Nov. 1. Check out a trailer for the film below.

UFC Referee Mark Matheny has opened a new MMA themed bar/nightclub in Heath, Ohio called Submissions.
You can visit on opening day Friday May 30th, and have the chance to meet UFC competitors, Matt "The Immortal" Brown, Mark "The Hammer" Coleman, and Wes Sims Fan Page . Submissions is located 1314 Hebron Road, across from the Heath Police Department.
There is a cage around the 26-foot dance floor, a fighter's runway from the side entrance onto the dance floor and MMA memorabilia everywhere. If your located in Ohio, be sure to visit Submissions on opening night.
"I'm kind of riding the coattails of a sport I started in Ohio," said Matheny. "I'm going to bring different stars in and we'll mix it up."
Matheny operated The Lighthouse at the same location 14 years ago. He also helped build Club 2K, but sold it before it became a strip club.
He also owns Matheny Lock Shop, worked as a mobile DJ for 25 years, works as a private investigator and bounty hunter, and likes to catch rattlesnakes in West Virginia.
The club will have seating for about 250 people, including a 20-seat VIP area, with a couch, television and dance pole. Outside the building, in back, will be co-ed sand volleyball, cornhole, beer-only bar and an amateur stage for karaoke and guitar performances.
I'm not sure what cornhole is in this context.
Address for the new bar is 1314 Hebron Road, across from the Heath Police Department.

Question About DVD Comics Collection
Not wishing to get into a discussion about whether comics really count as literature, I think this is the right place to post things about Trek comics...
I've been collecting Star Trek comics for a while, so I kinda have mixed feelings about the complete collection on DVD. But, that's a thought process for a different thread, what I was wondering is about some printing errors that have happened in some of the past Trek comics. I know that in my copies of Wildstorm's "All of Me" one-shot, and a couple TOS stories in Marvel's Unlimited series, there was a wonky printing error, where halfway through the story, earlier pages would just be duplicated, causing the story to be incomplete. I know that the DVD colllections are just straightforward scans (not processed like a print anthology would be), so I'm kinda worried that they might have scanned in some of the ones with the printing error and not realized it. I'm assuming that not every copy of "All of Me" or the other problematic issues had this problem, so hopefully they got their hands on the good ones. But, has anyone run into any problems like this in the digital copies?
Re: Question About DVD Comics Collection
I regret they didn't put more care into the scanning, but it's still great to have together all these comics that otherwise would not be available, and would take up a lot of shelf space.
Re: Question About DVD Comics Collection
The only printing error I recall from the DVD is in issue 3 of Marvel's Star Trek Unlimited, where one of the sheets was missing so that both of the stories in the issue were missing two pages each. I don't remember any duplicate pages.
And yes, this is the forum for ST comics discussions. Always has been.
Re: Question About DVD Comics Collection
Re: Question About DVD Comics Collection
I got a copy for Christmas last year, and I've loved having it. To be honest, I've just looked at an issue here and there rather than really reading complete runs, but I've definitely had fun with it, and I love being able to check out specific comics when I hear about them online.

Katherine Heigl, Josh Kelley Name New Daughter Adalaide Marie Hope!
Izzy named her baby Addie!
Katherine Heigl and husband Josh Kelley have been very quiet about their recently adopted daughter. But now, a rep the actress, 33, and singer, 32, tells Us Weekly what they've named their bundle of joy: Adalaide Marie Hope Kelley.
Born and adopted domestically, little Adelaide has a big sister in Naleigh, the couple's older daughter, whom they adopted in South Korea back in 2009.
The newly expanded family stepped out for Mother's Day on Sunday in Beverly Hills, with Adelaide covered up with a blanket in a baby carrier.
"Everyone is doing great!" a source tells Us.
PHOTOS: Memorable celeb baby names
"Josh and I started talking about [adoption] before we were even engaged," One for the Money star Heigl said in February of her hubby of five years. "My sister Meg is Korean, and my parents adopted her three years before I was born. I wanted my own family to resemble the one I came from, so I always knew I wanted to adopt from Korea."

Babe, Terror
"Perdizes Camp Seniors"
A writing assignment on a new piece of work from Brazil's Babe, Terror comes with both great excitement and a hell of a lot of anxiety, seeing as how it means I have to come up with more ways to describe what is, for all intents and purposes, very, very difficult to describe. Currently, there is very little on the planet that sounds close to what Babe, Terror (or, as he is also known, Perdiz es Dream) is up to with his music, and, aside from making some half-assed kind of March Madness joke in terms of the Cami Alvarez-directed video's use of old-timey basketball footage, the video-mulch-meets-watercolor technique is pretty stand alone as well. All I can really say is that the overall effect of this amazing artist's use of light and sound is absolutely and completely mesmerizing. "Perdizes Camp Seniors" sounds like an outdoor chorus of ghosts singing praises on high, only sampled and interjected with sputtering moments of space to give something that is ostensibly beat-less a heaving sense of rhythm that feels like it's really meant for the dance floor. And whether you find yourself awkwardly swinging a partner around to this one or just at home with headphones glued to your head and your eyes slowly crossing as you near that comatose state, it ultimately doesn't really matter. Wherever you find yourself with Babe, Terror, you're bound to be lost anyway.
This track is found on Babe, Terror's new tape, College Clash, which is available from Glue Moon.

Schoolboy Q
"Yay Yay"
Schoolboy Q's third full-length LP, Oxymoron, hits shelves later this year, on the heels of the excellent Habits and Contradictions. The Los Angeles rapper — who was recently selected to be a member of XXL Magazine's 2013 Freshman Class — has unveiled the first single, the Boi-1da-produced "Yay Yay." While the title can be seen as a reflection fans' excitement for new tunes, the topic is anything but mirthful – it's a drug dealer's manifesto; paranoid, prideful, and unmistakably candid. Schoolboy Q's double-dutch rhymeplay is at the forefront here, along with his usual snarky charm. Even though the subject's dark, there are still some lighthearted moments: "Used to fight on 49th, Grandma said be home by night/ But her old ass sixty something, so three hours late aiight," raps Q, smiling: what Grandma doesn't know won't kill her.

Another day, another project of the sunn 0))) / Southern Lord extended family, another chance for me to dive blindly into the abyss and tumble down past the boiling fire pits and crags and super aggro crags to the stone lair where Attila Csihar keeps my heart in a jar of blackened formaldehyde. Many miles separate the all-star participants in Gravetemple — Stephen O'Malley [USA->Paris], Attila [Hungary], Oren Ambarchi, and Matt "Skitz" Sanders [Australia] — but the sessions we hear on Ambient/Ruin lose none of their power for having drifted across years and oceans and desktop audio workstations to our ears. What we get here is just what we'd expect from the musicians involved: churning acoustimatic field recordings, howls of torture, overdriven electronics, and the most chest-crushing hi-fi guitar drone on the market. If you think this all sounds a bit like Monoliths and Dimensions minus the horn and string arrangements (and Greg Anderson), you're on to something: these neo-concrète doom-drone collages first emerged from the magma right around that time as a self-released demo CD-R in 2008.
Check out "II," 17 minutes of sublime terror from Ambient/Ruin, below. Allow Csihar's chants, Ambarchi's motorized cymbals, and O'Malley's classic 0)))-ing to pull you down to That Place — you'll recognize it when you get there. And peep the cover art by the vbercvlt overlord himself, Justin Bartlett.

Car fumes hazing red break lights bend as a draft pulls the emissions toward a hole in the road. Close to the border now, sweat and fear swell their minds and smuggling [BLANK] in from wherever to u.s. is both brilliant and daunting. Muck in the sewer changes consistency closer to the change, and CHANCE takes the IMAGE of confusion. Confusion: both within thyself and outer attire, covered in nothing worth mentioning (for your stomach's sake), CHANCE and the P. Child crawl patiently through to freedom. Heavy paranoia seeps in through their pours; Mexico city has a huge crowd for this sorta music. Disguised in broken notes and thoughts, claps of what's thought as noise turns into noise.
They seem to be an outfit for mythic musical pleasure, but become mules in underground [BLANK] trading and commerce. It's clever, as they are always hard at work doing something. And meeting them in Brooklyn or Eagle Rock or Glasgow or Belgium becomes a guessing game of "Where am I?" Which is chill in a "Where am I?" sorta way. And in the same way people never pass through animate objects, CHANCE's "TRIGGER*FINGER" creates a rouse in order to placate the thoughts of everyone/everything. Sonically, and specifically, CHANCE distorts your mind to something of repetition, dancing upon your thoughts of something layered and clicked in muck, but not of the slow-drip kind, more of that thick sustainable sludge that looks solid on the iris. Once you've drawn your entire focus to it, nothing else matters but the [BLANK] running through your system, all provided by the fellah who brings you REAL internal entertainment.

Mykki Blanco
"Haze.Boogie.Life" [live @ Unisex Earplug]
After Guardian Alien's blistering set at Unisex Earplug — our unofficial SXSW party with Northern Spy — Mykki Blanco took the stage with DJ Open1one for easily one of the highlights of the showcase. It seemed to be a bit disconcerting for the audience at first, as making that switch from Guardian Alien's hypnotically full-throttled minimalism to Mykki Blanco's experimental hip-hop wasn't particularly easy. But once Mykki got going, she ignited the crowd with an over-the-top, theatrical performance that had us all enraptured.
Check out Mykki Blanco's performance of "Haze.Boogie.Life" below, one of the first tracks she performed at the show (and first track on her amazing Cosmic Angel: Illuminati Prince/ss mixtape). You can see the crowd, having just been transported into the heavens by Guardian Alien, now slowly being pulled down by one bad motherfucker.
Thanks once again to TERROREYES for capturing the performance.

Radio People
"Night Club"
Whenever I find a track particularly energetic or enjoyably brutal, I usually tell people something along the lines of "this shit is so good it makes me want to break things" or "I just want to run around punching people while listening to this." I always thought I was alone with these thoughts, but Radio People's video for "Night Club" makes me think otherwise. At first, Radio People (a.k.a. Sam Goldberg) might not seem like your typical "let's fucking destroy everything" type of artist, but listen closely to the sparkling synth lines of 2011's Hazel and it becomes obvious that there's a constant pulsating energy beneath the dulcet cosmic tones of the music; it's not necessarily overtly violent, but it's there. Musically, "Night Club" picks up right where Hazel (Mexcian Summer) left off, but this surprisingly "metal" video visualizes the energy hidden beneath the track's ethereal surface by showing a gnarly dude with one hell of a beard breaking a lot of shit and, uh, drinking steak juice.
Watch the video for "Night Club" here:
"Night Club" is the title track off Radio People's forthcoming cassette, due next month on Treasure Records.

Obama's Mission Accomplished Moment
The White House's plans for a "leaner, meaner" military don't actually accomplish anything.
Military-First Imperial Realism
This particular reconfiguration also allowed the globe's last great imperial power to put a smiley face on a decade of military disasters in the Greater Middle East and—for all the clever politics of the moment—to cry uncle in its own fashion. More miraculous yet, it was doing so without giving up its global military dreams.
It was a way of saying that, if the US ever gets itself out of Afghanistan, when it comes to invading and occupying another Muslim land, building hundreds of bases and an embassy the size of the Ritz, and running riot in the name of "nation-building" and democracy: never again—or not for a few decades anyway.
Consider this a form of begrudging imperial realism that managed never to leave behind that essential American stance of garrisoning the planet. In fact, in order to fly all those drones and land all those special operations units, Washington may need more, not less bases globally. And of course, those 11 carrier battle groups are themselves floating bases, massively armed American small towns at sea.
As it happens, though, we already know how this story ends and it's nothing to write home about. Yes, they're going with what's hot, especially those drones. But keep in mind that, only a few years ago, the hottest thing in town was counterinsurgency warfare and its main proponent, General David Petraeus, was being hailed as a new Alexander the Great, Napoleon, or US Grant. And you know what happened there.
Now, counterinsurgency is history. The new hot ticket of the moment, that "revolutionary weapon" of our time—the drone or robotic airplane—is to fit the bill instead. Drones are, without a doubt, technologically remarkable and growing more sophisticated by the year. But air power has historically proved a poor choice if you want to accomplish anything political on the ground. It hardly matters whether those planes in the distant heavens have pilots or not, or whether they can see ants crawl from 20,000 feet and blast them away with precision.
Despite hosannas about the air war in Libya, count on one thing: air power will prove predictably inept when it comes to an American version of "revolutionary" counterterror warfare in the twenty-first century. So much for the limits of realism.
Washington-style realism assumes that we made a few mistakes, which can be rectified with the help of advanced technology and without endangering the military-industrial-crony-capitalist way of life. That's about as radical as Obama's Washington is likely to get.
When compared to the Republicans (Ron Paul aside again) storming the rhetorical barricades daily, threatening war with Iran nightly, promising to reinvade Iraq, or swearing that a military budget larger than those of the next 10 countries combined is wussiness itself, the Obama administration's approach does look like shining realism. Up against this planet as it actually is today, its military-first policies look like wishful thinking.
What Drones Can't Do
Climate-change advocates sometimes say that we're on a new planet. (Bill McKibben calls it "Eaarth," with that ungainly extra "a" to signify an ungainly place that used to be comfy enough for humanity.) It is, they say, a planet under pressure and destabilizing in all sorts of barely imagined ways.
Here's the strange thing, though. Set aside climate change, and to the passing, modestly apocalyptic eye, this planet still looks as if it were destabilizing. Your three economic powerhouses—the European Union, China, and the United States—are all teetering at the edge of interrelated financial crises. The EU seems to be literally destabilizing. It's now perfectly reasonable to suggest that the present Eurozone may, within years, be Eurozones (or worse). Who knows when European banks, up to their elbows in bad debt, will start to tumble or whole countries like Greece go down (whatever that may mean)?
At the same time, the Chinese, with the hottest economy on the planet, have a housing bubble, which may already be bursting. (Americans should have at least a few passing memories of just what kinds of troubles a popped housing bubble can bring.) And for all we know, the US economy, despite recent headlines about growing consumer confidence and an unemployment rate dropping to 8.5 percent, may be on life support.
As for the rest of the world, it looks questionable as well. The powerhouse Indian economy, like the Brazilian one, is slowing down. Whatever the glories of the Arab Spring, the Middle East is now in tumult and shows no signs of righting itself economically or politically any time soon. And don't forget the Obama administration's attempt to ratchet up sanctions on Iranian oil. If things go wrong, that might end up sending energy prices right through the roof and blowing back on the global economy in painful ways. With the major economies of the globe balancing on a pin, the possibility of a spike in those prices thanks to any future US/Iran/Israeli crisis should be terrifying.
The globalization types of the 1990s used to sing hymns to the way this planet was morphing into a single economic creature. It's worth keeping in mind that it remains so in bad times. This year could, of course, be another bumble-through year of protest and tumult, or it could be something much worse. And don't think that I—a non-economist of the first order—am alone in such fears. The new head of the International Monetary Fund, Christine Lagarde, has been traveling the planet recently making Jeremiah sound like an optimist, suggesting that we could, in fact, be at the edge of another global Great Depression.
But know this: you can buy drones till they're coming out your ears and they won't help keep Greece afloat for an extra second. Expand special operations forces to your heart's content and you still can't send them into those failing European banks. Take over cyberspace or outer space and you won't prevent a Chinese housing bubble from bursting. None of the crucial problems on this planet are, in fact, amenable to military solutions, not even by a country willing to pour its treasure into previously unheard of military and national security expenditures.
Over the years, "the perfect storm" came to be a perfectly overused cliché, which is why you don't see it much any more. But it might be worth dusting off and keeping in reserve this year and next—just in case. After all, when any situation destabilizes, all bets are off, including for a president having his mission accomplished moment. (Just ask John McCain what happened to his 2008 presidential bid when the economy suddenly began to melt down.)
In such a situation, the sort of military-first policy the president has made his own couldn't be more useless. Maybe it's time to take out a little insurance. Just not with AIG.
