Russo Brothers: "Avengers: Infinity War 1 & 2" to be Retitled
U.K. company Rawlins Paints & Coatings has released "An Illustrated Guide to Iconic Fictional Locations," showcasing memorable settings ranging from Superman's Fortress of Solitude and Stark Tower to the Simpsons' home and Walt and Jesse's RV from Breaking Bad.
Dustin McLean of "DIY Prop Shop," who only recently demonstrated how to create a hoverboard like the one from Back to the Future Part II, is back, this time to reveal the secrets of Iron Man's arc reactor. Not a working arc reactor, mind you (I'm not sure the local hardware store even carries those parts), but rather a pretty convincing replica.
The cost? About $39.
If you had dreams of being a superhero, you better aim to be bitten by a radioactive spider, exposed to gamma radiation or recruited by a secret government program, because there's no way you can afford to become Iron Man.
A new video from Super Comic Fun Time uses some pretty solid real-world prices, ranging from Bill Gates' house to Japan's K computer to the Northrop Grumman B-2 Spirit, to arrive at a price for living like Tony Stark — clothes, Stark Tower, multiple Iron Man suits, the works.
If your complaint with Hot Toys' Avengers: Age of Ultron collectible figures is that they're just not big enough, allow us to point you to the 1/4th-scale Iron Man Mark XLIII. That's 1/4th scale, rather than the usual 1/6th, which means the Armored Avenger stands 20 inches tall.
The prototype was showcased in December at Toy Soul 2014, but now the company's first 1/4th-scale figure has been officially revealed, featuring a new Tony Stark head sculpt, interchangeable helmeted head, and LED light-up functions on the eyes, arc reactor and repulsors. There are also three pairs of interchangeable palms, and a damaged Ultron Sentry diorama base with detachable head and arm.
Let's face it, as soon as one billionaire-playboy superhero got in on the Fifty Shades of Grey craze, it was only a matter of time before that other one tried his armor-covered hand at it. After all, Tony Stark had cornered the market on "handsome, charming businessman with a dark side" before Christian Grey was even a thought in E.L. James' head.
This Fifty Shades/Iron Man mashup isn't as polished as "Fifty Shades of Wayne," but it certainly has its moments, particularly at the end.
Even superheroes need to go to the doctor once in a while. And in an inventive advertising campaign from stock photography agency Shutterstock, they're prescribed a host of medicinal cures.
Created with illustrator Ryan Quickfall, Shutterstock's RxMen offers treatment for "comically exaggerated ailments" some heroes might experience. From Cerebrex migraine meds for Professor X to Purple Smash mood-swing remedies for the Hulk to Noiroprine insomnia spray for Batman, there's something for just about any super-sufferer. If symptoms persist, please consult Night Nurse.
Leave it to Stephen Colbert to draw on Tony Stark for his lead-in to an interview with French economist Thomas Piketty, whose bestselling book Capital in the Twenty-First Century examines wealth and income inequality in the United States and Europe since the 18th century. An important topic, sure, but not exactly the stuff of superhero comics.
But in last night's episode of The Colbert Report, Colbert found a way to liven up a potentially dry topic with the help of Iron Man … and his new goatee, of course. Or is it a Vandyke? Whatever.
Kieron Gillen had to remind me to be angry. I read through my comics stash for the week, feeling very proud of myself and then went on about my day, wondering what I was going to be writing for you, Dear Reader (hi, Mom!). Then I browse through Twitter to see this posted by the writer: "You know, after yesterday with Iron Man 17 and YA11, I'd have expected my @s to be worse, but people are being really nice. Thanks!"
Being really nice? Why shouldn't they? What should I be mad at?! Nothing happened that was all that shocking in Young Avengers, as long as you know who Loki is and that Loki: Agent of Asgard is debuting in February, so it's just putting two and two together. That couldn't be the reason for torches and pitchforks. Then I remembered Iron Man #17 and still felt no need to reach for my oil-soaked rags and farming tools. There's a twist to be sure, and a fairly large change to Tony Stark's tried and true origin, but is the cover right? Is this really "The shocking conclusion that will change the world of Iron Man forever"?
Not exactly. Read on and find out why!
WARNING: Oh yeah, big spoilers for the current run on Iron Man! Huge, massive spoilers. Click no further if you haven't read Iron Man #17! But if you have (or simply love spoilers), please do read on!
Tony Stark has hit many lows over his lifetime — alcoholism, Civil War, Secret Invasion … Iron Man 2 — but who could've guessed he'd resort to a poorly dressed life of crime?
The Orlando Sentinel reports a man wearing an Iron Man mask and tan jumpsuit ran into a Wells Fargo Bank in Flagler County on Thursday afternoon, waved a gun and demanded money. None of the 10 people in the bank at the time was injured, but the man got away with an undisclosed amount of money.
This is it! The (thrilling?) conclusion of our re-reading The Invincible Iron Man series, which has covered the entire Matt Fraction and Salvador Larroca series over the course of — let's see … one, two, three, four — five posts. Today, we look at the last year and a half worth of issues, which are collected in a trio of trades that see our hero facing off against his ultimate villain in an attempt to save the world from destruction. (Spoiler warning: He succeeds.)
Today we continue our look at Matt Fraction and Salvador Larroca's The Invincible Iron Man run with the next three volumes, which contain another new direction for the series, and the several instances of people other than Larroca drawing the series for the first time.
Vols. 4 and 5: Stark Resilient Books 1 and 2 (#25-33 ): Like the 12-issue story arc "World's Most Wanted," "Stark Resilient" is such a long story arc that it takes up two trade collections.
When we last left Stark, his friends and allies had just reinstalled a back-up of his brain into his body after he was left in a vegetative state by his heroic efforts to deny Norman Osborn access to his most dangerous secrets. While the first two years of the book were devoted to following the Iron Man through-line of the publisher's massive Civil War-to-Siege storyline, with the 25th issue Matt Fraction and Salvador Larroca essentially get to start over.
Oh, good, you came back. Today we're going to take a look at the first four collections worth of Matt Fraction, Salvador Larroca and company's The Invincible Iron Man, which accounts for the first 24 issues of the series and two of the several completely different (but narratively and thematically connected) directions the series took.
The Invincible Iron Man, Vol. 1: The Five Nightmares (#1-7): As I mentioned Tuesday, this title launched the same summer that director Jon Favreau's Iron Man, starring Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark, opened, and writing a new, second title with Iron Man as the hero must have seemed a rather daunting task, given that Downey and Favreau's cool, charming war profiteer turned warrior for peace bore little resemblance to the Marvel Universe version of the character of the time, whom writer Mark Millar had turned into the publisher's greatest villain during Civil War and its aftermath.
Little did Sarah Carter know when she began referring to her modding-junkie boyfriend Eddie Zarick as "Tony Stark" after he created an arc reactor replica that she was laying the groundwork for her marriage proposal.
When it came time to pop the question, Zarick simply — "simply"! — redesigned the arc reactor heart to present Carter with her engagement ring. "I made it smaller, and more detailed. I laser cut and cnc routed all of the parts and slowly starting building the basic shell," he explained on his blog. "My idea was to use two servos controlled by and arduino. At first I was not sure how to light it up, but I had some of AdaFruit's RGB LED Strip laying around from a pinball project. So I cut off enough to go around the reactor and used the arduino to control that as well! Also added a couple of bright white LEDs to hit the ring once it comes out."
To Wired he added: "I took her out to the beach one night in the back if my Jeep and told her I had a early Christmas gift for her, I gave her the box, and inside was the reactor. It was at night so it really shined bright and she was amazed. But once I pushed the button and the light show happened and the ring came out, she was speechless and crying."
Check out video of the arc reactor in action below.
"Take away the suit of armor and what are you?"
"Uh, genius, billionaire, playboy, philanthropist."
You too can join the G.B.P.P. Club, courtesy of artist Ryan Astle and TeeFury. Memberships are only available to Tony Stark's very exclusive organization (even more exclusive than the Avengers, who will let anybody in) for 24 hours, so buy it now if you want it. " I imagine Tony giving Steve this shirt as a gag gift at Christmas," Astle said.
Tony Stark and Hal Jordan, together at last? Not quite: The big Iron Man/Green Lantern crossover plotted out by writers Matt Fraction and Geoff Johns yesterday exists only in their respective Twitter accounts. But still, it's fun to read what the writers in charge of their respective universes' cocky skirt-chasing sci-fi superheroes who are the basis of big blockbuster movies have to say about the two heroes meeting up.
Inspired by Fraction's facetious tweets about the powers of each of the ten rings wielded by Iron Man villain the Mandarin (including making phone calls that never drop and the ability to TiVo three shows at once), Johns got the ball rolling. Below you'll find their crossover conversation, tweaked slightly for clarity and featuring guest appearances by editor Steve Wacker and Avengers writer Brian Michael Bendis…
Johns: @mattfraction What can the Mandarin's rings do? Iron Man/Green Lantern xover…!
Fraction: @geoffjohns0 together, all of 'em can save the direct market…! #LETSDOTHISTHING
Fraction [later]: wait weren't me and @geoffjohns0 plotting our GreenLantern/IronMan xover in real tweettime? wasn't mandarin getting a red ring or something?
Johns: Then Hal loses his ring, but finds one of Tony's suits. And thinks it's the coolest thing to ever pilot…
Fraction: Tony rebuilds a shattered power battery with repulsor tech and discovers he can make this weird ring do what he thinks…
Stephen Wacker: @GeoffJohns0 @mattfraction SinestrO.D.O.K.
Johns: And the SinestrO.D.O.K. Corps
Fraction: how big of a red ring would a red ring have to be to fit around fin fang foom's neck like a collar? #blooddragon!!!AAIIEEEEEEEE
Johns: Fin Fang Foom you have great rage in your heart! Welcome to the Red Lantern Corps!
Fraction: "Pepper Potts, this is Carol Ferris. Carol, meet…"
Johns: "Hal? I was,um, just having a drink with…" "Tony. Tony Stark. I hear this ring belongs to you…but I can't get it off."
Johns: In the suit, Hal plays chicken with the Quinjet. The Avengers want to know who stole Tony's armor.
Brian Michael Bendis: @GeoffJohns0 @mattfraction hey!! No quinjet or avengers unless i get some tie in/ spin off action!!
Johns: @BRIANMBENDIS @mattfraction Avengers/Green Lantern/Iron Man We last left Hal Jordan in Iron Man's armor battling the Avengers…
Red Lantern Fin Fang Foom and the SinestrO.D.O.K. Corps alone make a real-world version of this imaginary crossover worth the price of admission, don't you think?

Book Around Britain Cruises with
Around Britain Cruises
A cruise around the British Isles is perhaps the best way to see the major sights and cities of Britain and Ireland, transporting passengers around the coastlines of England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales in comfort and style.
Unlike many other destinations for cruising, the relative compactness of the British Isles means that the time actually spent on-board between stops never exceeds a couple of days, leaving guests free to explore the culture, monuments, history and entertainments Britain and Ireland have to offer.
Less trodden ground covered on many British Isles cruises include the Orkney and Shetland Islands of Scotland's north coast, as well as the Channel Islands, with their peculiarly old-English ambience located just off the French coast.
So for wonderful holiday experience combining the bustle and excitement of the Britain and Ireland's major cities with some largely undiscovered gems, a British Isles cruise fits the bill.

North Carolina Gov. Beverly Perdue will let the final bill on her desk become law without her signature because she's concerned it tries to weaken her budget authority.
Perdue signed into law 108 bills approved by the Legislature after it adjourned in July. Perdue's office said Monday the governor won't veto the last bill but instead let it become law when the clock strikes midnight.
The measure allows University of North Carolina campuses to keep money they save from energy conservation programs. Perdue spokeswoman Chrissy Pearson said the governor questions a sentence telling her she can't reduce budgeted university funds to cancel out the extra cash campuses save.
Pearson said Perdue will write legislative leaders on Tuesday asking them to consider deleting that sentence next year.

The cat who allows us to share her house has been looking over her shoulder lately, on the lookout for Grant Sizemore of the American Bird Conservancy. Sizemore wants us to round up as many as 80 million unowned outdoor cats, take them to the pound and put them to sleep.
He doesn't mean, of course, letting them actually sleep. What he really means is they all should be sent to that big litterbox in the sky.
Sizemore claims those 80 million unowned cats that live outdoors are responsible for the deaths of up to 3.7 billion birds and 20.7 billion mammals (mostly mice) every year in the United States.
If what he says is true, all those cats would have to make 305 kills a year.
I can tell Sizemore right now that our cat doesn't make that many kills, even though she spends a fair amount of her time outside. In fact, I'm not sure she makes any kills at all. When she was younger (and we were, too) she occasionally would bring a deceased mouse or vole to the back porch and leave it for us to admire. But now she is in her middle years, and has gained a few pounds (as we have), she spends most of her time outside lurking in the bushes.
There are blue jays that visit our yard, and if one of them happens to land where the cat can see it, the cat gets into her hunting pose and attempts to creep forward. The bird spots her right away, and if it looks like the cat actually will try to spring, the bird flaps its wings a few times and flies to the top of the back fence.
The cat these days saves all of her springing power for the food bowl.
If Sizemore tries to haul her in, I am sure her feeding habits would be good evidence for her to be granted bail.
By the way, Sizemore, nobody owns a cat. It's the other way around.

April 30, 2016
LANSING, Mich. (AP) -- A Senate panel has approved changes aimed at clarifying Michigan's voter-approved law allowing the use of marijuana for medical purposes.
The Senate Judiciary Committee on Wednesday approved what would be the first changes to the state's 2008 law.
The bills now go to the full Senate. Versions of them have already passed the House.
One bill seeks to better define the type of doctor-patient relationship needed before medical marijuana use could be certified. Another would let law enforcement officers obtain medical marijuana patient information.
Backers say the law is unclear and has loopholes. Critics say the proposed changes might make the drug harder to get for those in need.

If your child started kindergarten or sixth grade this year, Thursday is the last day to get their shots before they could face suspension from school.
North Carolina lawmakers have changed the rules to require a booster dose of the TDAP tetanus, diphtheria and pertussis vaccine.
Pertussis is better known as whooping cough. The rule change comes because of the amount of pertussis cases discovered statewide. The vaccinations will be provided at no cost since it is a requirement.
Craven County school officials say that 182 students countywide are currently not up to date. The school district says 55 of these students are at Grover C. Fields middle school.
The vaccinations may be provided by scheduling an appointment with your child's regular care provider or your local health department.

I'm new to folding bikes--I have a Downtube Nova--and I'm trying to decide where to keep my stuff. I commuted on a hybrid for many years and had tools and accessories in bags on the bike or attached directly to it. It seems a bit silly to do that with a bike that I bought because it was light enough to carry around.
I'm considering keeping a seat bag permanently attached with a tire kit in it. And I'm also considering buying a frame pump and keeping that permanently attached. I do usually have a bag with me, so I could conceivably put accessories/tools in a bag and just make sure I always have it.
I don't know. What do you guys do?

For the past few days, Phillies fans have been grappling with how to feel about Ryan Howard. Howard's attempt to put his struggles in perspective by saying "its just a game" didn't sit well. He knew as much when he said it during a candid interview prior to Wednesday's game.
Meanwhile, Ryne Sandberg has benched the struggling first baseman so he can "see what Darin Ruf can do." Huh? I'm pretty certain Sandberg knows what Ruf can do and that this has nothing to do with Ruf.
The conflict became glaring when Sandberg sat Howard again on Thursday, despite the fact that Howard has dominated right-hander Tim Hudson for years. Howard is a career .328 hitter against Hudson with seven home runs and 17 RBI in 67 career at-bats. The move was inconsistent with Sandberg's comments Wednesday that "it's about winning the game." It also did not fit with the idea of platooning Howard, which Sandberg discussed earlier in the week. The statement was made loud and clear.
So, with all the back-and-forth, why is this still not making sense? Sure, Howard's numbers since the end of June are abysmal. Any power hitter with a .192 slugging percentage in his last 21 games clearly needs to make a U-turn.
It has been reported that the Phillies have considered moving on without Howard. On Friday, general manager Ruben Amaro Jr. shot down reports stating the Phillies have considered releasing their struggling first baseman (see story).
Here's what we know: Howard is making $25 million this season and is owed another $60 million for the remainder of his contract.
Howard is one of the few players I've known in my 19 years of covering baseball who has gone on to stardom but remained the same person. How he treats people is consistent with how he treated them when he was first called up. He's a stand-up guy, which he showed by spending 10 minutes addressing all things Ryan Howard on Wednesday. There wasn't much fire in the way Howard spoke during the media session, but again, it's consistent with how he's always talked. His tone and intensity is the same now as it was in 2008.
All indications are that Howard has spent significant time getting his body in playing shape. He seems to work hard in the offseason to stay fit and strong.
But here is what we're not sure about: Does he do what it takes to keep his mind in game shape? I've never heard anyone say Howard is one of the first guys at the ballpark. I've never heard anyone say he spends ample time pouring over video to improve his swing or make adjustments. Is this where he's falling short?
Here's what makes no sense: Amaro told commentator Jim Jackson on Wednesday's pregame show that the way to get Howard back on track is by getting him some playing time, get him back to having fun playing the game. This completely contradicts Sandberg's approach this past week.
The only conclusion I can make after watching this all unfold this week is that the organization is making a last-ditch effort to get Howard to change his approach. The downside to Howard's being the same guy he's always been is that what used to work is no longer working. If Howard is unwilling to change his approach on his own, if his numbers don't drive him to make changes, the team must figure that shaming him will.
I don't believe the organization is ready to cut ties with Howard, they just want him to think he's expendable. Let's face it, the last thing the Phillies need is for Howard to go to another team and have him regain his form. If he hit 30 homers and drove in 100 runs for another team, it's the Phillies who would be shamed in the end.
I think this is a mental game the team is playing with Howard. Whether it works or not remains to be seen.

Pregnancy Sneezing?
I'm so tired of sneezing. Not even kidding, I've sneezed like 20 times since I woke up around 9am (it's noon now.) I just want to know how many other pregnant woman have had this. I've read about a few women doing it, so don't tell me it's definitely not a symptom. Btw, I haven't had a BFP yet, it's just kind of ironic that I'm late and all of a sudden (since about 2 days ago) I've been on this sneeze attack..

I too have noticed I am sneezing a lot, and often several in succession. They come out of nowhere, when i'm outside, when I'm in my office, even sometimes in the middle of being asleep! From what I have read online this seems to be a common 'side-effect' of being pregnant and nothing to be concerned about.posted 06/07/2011 by clancy_s
My allergies (and sneezeing) got infinately worse almost immediately when I got pregnant. It is b/c your immune system changes how it works whenyou are pregnant.

There are over 390ha of open space in the City of Charles Sturt. This includes reserves, parks, beaches, trails, sportsgrounds, civic areas, play spaces and linear park corridors.
Council maintains and operates 110 playgrounds throughout the City. These come in all shapes and sizes and our aim is to have a playground located within about 500 metres or 15 minutes walking distance of all residents.
Safety checks are carried out on playgrounds on a regular basis - but we need your help to keep us informed about any damaged equipment, so please report damage on 8408 1111.
Hundreds of parks for leisure and pleasure can be found across the City - and people of all ages can take part in a variety of activities.
Our parks also play an important role in the appearance of our suburbs, providing eye-catching, safe and relaxing surrounds - so why not pay a visit and enjoy some of the facilities available
In recent years there has been an increasing demand for community-use courts for a range of activities such as tennis, basketball, netball, roller blading and learning to ride a bike. There are 19 locations within the City where you can find a community-use court and have a hit of tennis free of charge. These courts are available on a first-come-first-serve basis and we ask players to limit games to one hour if others are waiting to use the court.

When we recorded the video weather blog, Subtropical Storm Olga did not form yet, but we thought there was a chance it would. It is no threat to the United States mainland, but heavy rain and gusty winds are likely over Hispanola on Tuesday.
A large ridge of high pressure will dominate our local weather through Thursday. It will bring us dry and unusually warm temperatures. The only weather-related hazard will be late night and early morning dense fog and low clouds thanks to a shallow east to southeasterly wind flow from the Gulf of Mexico and Atlantic Ocean.
A cold front is expected to approach us on Friday with a slight chance of showers. The models are hinting at a stronger system affecting us this upcoming weekend, but the jury is still on whether severe weather will occur or just scattered rain showers.

2. Above-the-line deduction -- A deduction that is not itemized on Schedule A. Instead, it is subtracted from total income on the Form 1040 to arrive at a taxpayer's adjusted gross income. Since the adjusted gross income amount is entered on the last line of Page 1 of the 1040, any tax breaks used in arriving at this amount -- such as allowable IRA contributions, student loan interest and moving expenses -- are known as above-the-line deductions.
3. Active income -- Income from endeavors materially (actively) participated in, for instance salary, wages, bonuses and business income. Generally, you cannot offset active income with passive losses.
4. Ad valorem tax -- A tax based according to item value only, usually real estate or personal property tax based on the just or fair market value of the property.
5. Adjusted gross income (AGI) -- All the income you received over the course of the year, such as wages, interest, dividends and capital gains, minus things such as business expenses, contributions to a qualified IRA, moving expenses, alimony and capital losses. The adjusted gross income is used to calculate federal income tax.
6. Allowance -- This is the number you put on your Form W-4 so your employer can calculate the amount of income tax to withhold from your paycheck. The more allowances you claim, the less income tax will be withheld. Usually, you claim one allowance each for yourself, your spouse and each of your dependents. However, you can adjust the number of allowances for your situation -- if you have a lot of deductions that will reduce your final tax bill, you may want to claim more allowances to lower the amount withheld for taxes.
7. AMT -- Alternative minimum tax. This tax was originally designed to target high-income taxpayers who shelter some of their income from tax through certain tax preference items or deductions. It is often referred to in tax publications as AMT and, if your income meets the limit, you have to recalculate your tax liability based on separate alternative minimum tax rates, tables and rules. Because the amount of income subject to AMT is not automatically adjusted for inflation, in recent years Congress has passed last-minute legislation to increase the threshold so that middle-income taxpayers remain unaffected by this tax.
8. Backup withholding -- Tax withheld from investment income, such as interest and dividends, to ensure that tax is collected on the income. Banks and other organizations are required to report to the IRS all interest and dividend payments you received, along with your Social Security number or other taxpayer identification number. If you don't give them correct reporting information they are required to withhold a certain percentage of your investment income. The IRS may also require the bank or other organization to withhold tax if it determines you have underreported your investment income. If backup withholding is taken out of your earnings, it will show up as "Federal income tax withheld" on the Form 1099-INT or Form 1099-DIV that the bank sends you each January.
9. Basis -- Also referred to as cost basis, this is the amount assigned to an asset from which a taxpayer determines capital gain or loss. For assets purchased, the basis is the price paid. Special rules apply to assets acquired through gift or inheritance, as well as to the value of stock funds held for a period during which earnings are reinvested. The cost basis for real estate property is the original price paid plus any improvements made on it since purchase.

New York High Speed Rail Routes Score Top Marks in New Study
Posted By Jessica Dailey On January 12, 2011 @ 4:12 pm In News | No Comments
This morning, America 2050 [1], the nation's pro-high-speed rail group, released the first ever comparative study of nearly 8,000 potential high speed rail [2] corridors. The analysis revealed which routes are most suited to high-speed rail, based on factors that have contributed to rail ridership in other parts of the world. Of the top ten proposed corridors, seven of them stop in New York City. Click through for the details!
The New York to Washington D.C. route scored the highest, but the study, "High Speed Rail in America [3]," found that a rail along the whole Northeast Corridor, from Boston to Washington, D.C. with stops in New York, Philadelphia and Baltimore, would be the most worthwhile. Many of the highest scoring corridors — like New York to Philadelphia and New York to Albany — are less than 150 miles long, making them much cheaper and easier to build than longer routes. In fact, the New York to Albany route is more cost effective than some routes that are already underway, like Orlando to Tampa.
According to the study, high-speed rails [2] work best in regions that have established transit ridership, large populations, and major employment centers (sound familiar?). Considering that the largest five cities in Northeast region account for 80 percent of the nation's rail transit ridership and the fact the New York City leads the nation in population and employment, it's easy to understand why high-speed routes to and from the Big Apple scored the highest.

King brown snake (Pseudechis australis)
|Also known as:
|king brownsnake , mulga snake, orange-bellied brown snake, yellow-bellied brown snake
|Cannia australis aplini, Cannia australis burgessi, Cannia australis newmani, Cannia weigeli, Denisonia brunnea, Naja australis, Pailsus rossignolii, Pailsus weigeli, Pseudechis cupreus, Pseudechis darwiniensis, Pseudechis denisonioides, Pseudechis platycephalus, Pseudechis rossignolii, Pseudechis weigeli
|Pseudechis (1)
|Length: 1.5 - 2.7 m (2) (3)
- The king brown snake is considered to be Australia's most widespread venomous snake.
- A highly adaptable species, the king brown snake can be found in an impressive range of habitats, from tropical rainforest to savannah and desert.
- Once thought to give birth to live young, the king brown snake is now known to lay eggs.
- When threatened, the king brown snake tends to flatten its neck, spreading it into a hood-like shape.
The king brown snake has yet to be classified on the IUCN Red List.
Considered to be Australia's most common and widespread venomous snake (2) (3) (4), the king brown snake (Pseudechis australis) is a stocky species with a broad head (3) (4), large eyes (3) and a rounded muzzle (5).
Despite its name, the king brown snake is not a true brown snake, all of which belong to the Pseudonaja genus (2), and it is instead named for its typical colouration. The back of the king brown snake is pale to mid-brown, reddish-brown or dark olive (2) (3) (4) (6) (7), becoming paler on the sides (4), while the underparts are generally yellow, orange (5) (6) (7) or pinkish (4). The scales of the king brown snake are smooth (3) (5) (6) and overlap each other (5), and those on the back may be marked with a black tip or black border (4). Being such a drab colour is essential for enabling the king brown snake to be as inconspicuous as possible when on open ground (8).
The king brown snake, also known as the mulga snake because of the mulga grassland habitat which this snake frequently inhabits (2), has two grooved fangs in the front of its mouth, and some smaller, solid teeth further back (5) (6). This species is highly venomous (4) (7), and is thought to be the cause of the greatest number of venomous bites in Australia (9), although these are rarely fatal (2).
The king brown snake is widespread in Australia (1), being found across most of the mainland except for the extreme south and the east coast (2) (3) (4). This species has also been reported in southern New Guinea (1) (2) (3) (6), although there is speculation that this particular population could actually represent a separate species (3).
A highly adaptable species (2), the king brown snake is able to occupy an incredibly wide range of habitats (2) (3), from tropical rainforests to savannah and deserts (2) (3) (4). While this reptile can be found in most habitats on the Australian continent, it is not found in very cold or very humid climes (8).
The king brown snake may be active by day or night, depending on the climate (3) (4), and is known to feed on frogs, birds, small mammals and even other reptiles (2) (3) (4), including lizards (2).
When threatened, the king brown snake tends to flatten its neck, spreading it into a hood-like shape, before raising its body into an arch and striking rapidly (2) (3). The venom produced by this species is extremely toxic, causing lightheadedness, headaches, nausea, vomiting, muscle weakness and mild paralysis in humans (9) (10).
Until relatively recently, it was thought that all large Pseudechis species were live-bearing snakes, but most, including the king brown snake, have since been found to be oviparous, meaning that they lay eggs (11). The female king brown snake has been recorded to lay between 4 and 19 eggs per clutch (2). While no information is available on incubation periods in the wild, clutches of king brown snake eggs laid in captivity have been known to incubate for between 85 and 88 days at higher temperatures, and for shorter periods at lower temperatures (12).
At present, there are no known threats to the king brown snake.
There are currently no conservation measures known to be in place for the king brown snake.

C-57-D was a starship that was registered for Federation travel in the late 24th century. In 2370, under the command of Captain J.J. Adams, this starship departed from Lunar Receving bound for Deep Space 9 and was scheduled to arrive at the space station on stardate 47562.0. (DS9: "Whispers")
The C-57-D was never mentioned or shown, it was simply listed in an okudagram graphic of an arrival roster on a viewscreen. No reason for the ship's odd nomenclature has been noted, but the graphic was also populated by some other in-jokes, and information concerning this vessel refers to the classic sci-fi film Forbidden Planet (including the captain's name, after Leslie Nielsen's character).

Henry Levin of the Center for Privatization Receives $1 Million from Pew and Ford Foundations
Published in Inside - Volume VII, No. 9
Henry Levin, the William Heard Kilpatrick Professor of Economics and Education and the Director of the National Center for the Study of Privatization in Education (NCSPE) has received $1 million from the Pew and Ford foundations to study and comment on the broader issues of privatization- home schooling, school contracting, and tuition tax credits-and to build a "Partnership Project" for the dissemination of information to "knowledge dissemination organizations"-public policy organizations, community organizations, government agencies, and membership organizations in education.
The goal of NCSPE is to provide an independent, non-partisan source of analysis and information on privatization in education. NCSPE develops programs to carry out research, evaluation, conferences, publications, and dissemination on a full range of issues regarding privatization of education from pre-school to higher education and covering both national and international initiatives.
The Pew Foundation Grant of $ 500,000: Broader Issues of Privatization
The Pew Foundation was interested in the many new developments that have taken shape in the privatization movement and funded NCSPE with $500,000. When NCSPE was first established in 1999, most of the public discussion focused on educational vouchers, largely because of the controversies over the Cleveland and Milwaukee voucher plans. Now Pew was interested in Levin's plan to study tuition tax credits, home schooling, and school contracting.
According to Levin, "tuition tax credit (TTC) plans and their expansion nationally, especially if the Supreme Court rejects vouchers for religious schools, require deep analysis of tuition tax credits and their consequences. This is made especially challenging because different provisions within TTCs auger for different results, and the results are less transparent than with vouchers."
On the issue of home schooling, Levin says that the U.S. Department of Education has estimated that there are about 850,000 students in the U.S who are home-schooled and that the movement is growing. The advent of charter schools has also created vehicles for funding and educational support for home schoolers with public funds, according to Levin. NCSPE intends to initiate studies that provide analysis of home schooling with respect to the four criteria used by NCSPE in all privatization: freedom of choice, productive efficiency, equity, and social cohesion.
Levin maintains that since the inception of NCSPE, school contracting with for profit, education management organization (EMOs) has increased substantially. He admits that school contracting has not been studied or evaluated extensively and wants to analyze the contents of private contracts in terms of how the interests of the different stakeholders are considered.
He says charter schools are a form of privatization because they represent a quasi-private (private boards and considerable autonomy from public accountability), market approach to improving education, and they are increasingly drawing on for-profit organizations to operate the schools. Levin says, "What's missing are overall studies by organizations that take a non-partisan view and attempt to evaluate charter school consequences in a balanced way over a long period." He sees NCSPE carrying out a comprehensive review of the impacts of charter schools on equity, and particularly in terms of racial and social stratification. Second, he says, "there are serious issues about the cost reimbursement formulas and practices where charter schools are short-changed in some states and situations and treated overly-generously in others." He wants to undertake extensive fieldwork to link costs to educational services of charter schools in assessing reimbursement rates.
The Ford Foundation Grant of $500,000: Community Engagement
The Ford Foundation grant of $500,000 will be supporting an innovative approach to community engagement and dissemination of information regarding educational privatization. According to Levin, "Although several forms of educational privatization have been established and proposed for expansion, it is clear that these issues are not well-understood by the electorate, educational professionals, or communities affected by them."
Levin calls the initiative the "Partnership Project." It aims to inform the public on educational privatization issues by establishing partnerships with civic, educational, and government organizations and the media to develop custom designed strategies that will inform stakeholders. "It will represent," Levin says, "an innovative and efficient approach by drawing on the strengths of the partnership organizations. More specifically, it builds on the capacity of the NCSPE to prepare non-partisan and balanced information in appropriate formats and the capacity of communities, membership organizations, government entities, and the media to disseminate that information to their audiences."
Levin describes NCSPE as a "knowledge production organization." It produces new knowledge on its chosen topics but this approach is limited because it is supply-oriented. "That is," he says, "NCSPE supplies information that we believe is needed in order to make good decisions on educational privatization but it is in competition with the partisan voices of dozens of other groups, most with greater resources to get their messages out." What Levin intends to do is partner with "knowledge dissemination groups," which include diverse entities such as legislatures, educational professional organizations, taxpayer groups and the media.
Levin says, "Although some of them have a limited capacity to provide analyses on particular topics, few have sophisticated research staff or access to consultants that can address issues as complex as educational privatization or can evaluate statistical reports and legislation on the subject."
Levin wants to strengthen both types of organizations by building on strength through partnerships. With this strategy, NCSPE will be able to leverage its effectiveness in informing stakeholders and gain community engagement through partnerships.
An example of Levin's partnership project is the work that NCSPE is doing with American Association of School Administrators. "They are curious," says Levin, "to know how superintendents look at privatization. What experiences they've had, has it been positive, would they consider privatization in any number of areas? We've agreed to do a study with them in which we're going to put together a survey. We'll get the data, analyze it, write joint publications, and share the analysis at their national meetings."previous page

Tiny hole on Pleco's dorsal fin...
I used the pic on this site as a reference, this is NOT my acual pleco. Anyway, I noticed my pleco has a small hole on its dorsal fin right where I made the white circle. There are no other holes or marks at all on the pleco, he looks great other than that. Any ideas?
I would only say it could have ripped its fins with your decors like rocks and woods. Melafix should be able to fix that.:)
It should be fine. Just keep the water clean and the fin should repair itself. I also had my L-018 that had a ripped dorsal, but never really dwelled on it. After awhile, I happened to look and it's dorsal was fine.
Okay, that's what I thought. But I treated the tank twice with Melafix over the past month and a half for other problems with fish, but the hole still remains. I noticed it several weeks ago, and thought it would either repair itself, or get worse.
The weird thing is, the hole looks like a perfect circle. But thanks for the input, and I'll surely keep my water clean, and an eye on it.
My common and royal used to rip there fins all the time fighting with the devils pleco (my old L204), never treated with meds, just made sure water quality was top notch and they repaired themselves in a matter of days, amazingly fast tbh.
Does seem a little long for no improvement but you are already keeping your eye on it so just carry that on and im sure all will be good :D
it should be fine

Interspecies Ethics was a course offered at Starfleet Academy.
In 2375, Kathryn Janeway tested Chakotay by asking if it was Interspecies Ethics which Admiral Namimby taught at the Academy. Chakotay correctly replied that the class which Nimembah taught was Tactical Analysis. (VOY: "In the Flesh")

Could my jewel cichlids be Jack Dempseys...
I was given 3 free "Jewel Cichlid" juvies.... I did some research and decided I would like to try these fish I was planning on putting them in my 2 10 gallons tanks until the LFS opened and I could buy a larger tank ( i was only supposed to get 2 fish and found 3 in the bag when I got home)... but these fish are black in color with a red border on the dorsel fin.... and blue sparkle( not sure if this is a great decription) by it's gills.... Are there jewel cichlids that match this decription? How much different are JD's from Jewel cichlids?
They are pretty different looking fish. A picture would really help.
I will look for my camera and post a pic...
1 Attachment(s)
this was the best pic I could get they are changing back and forth from blackish to this brownish color
definitely a Jack Dempsey
x3 on the jack dempsey, and from here it looks to be a male.

Abstract landscape photography: how to 'paint' by panning
Camera panning is a quick and easy way to create a modern, abstract landscape image. You simply move your DLSR from side to side during a long exposure.
First, find a suitable landscape. Fields of flowers against a blue sky work perfectly. We got permission from Fussel's Fine Foods in Somerset, England, to shoot in their rapeseed crop, but poppies, bluebells or even lush grass will also work well. If there are trees on the horizon you can create stripes of colour in your shot.
You can use any landscape-friendly lens – we used a 50mm lens. The horizon needs to be dead straight, so a tripod is essential.
If you're shooting bright skies, a variable ND filter will help to block the light and allow you to use a long shutter speed.
SEE MORE: 10 popular creative photo effects (and how to achieve them)
How to pan an abstract landscape
01 Get a head
To pan easily you'll need a tripod with a three-way head, like our Manfrotto 804RC2. Check the spirit level is dead straight, as this will keep the horizon straight. If your landscape is naturally a bit skewed you can always straighten lines up later in Photoshop.
02 Check your settings
Switch to Manual and choose a low ISO (eg ISO100), and a small aperture of around f/16. Check the exposure. You'll need an exposure of anything from a quarter of a second to two seconds, so in bright sunlight like this you'll need an ND filter to reduce the light.
03 Pan the camera
When you're ready to shoot, press the shutter button and start slowly panning the camera across the scene, keeping the camera moving until the shutter closes. It can take a few attempts to get the right amount of blur; keep practising until you get a result you like.
Final Tip
If you want your final images to pack more punch, try increasing the contrast in post-production for brighter colours.

The front page of the May 11 edition of the Tribune featured both "Celebrating Mothers" and "Child molester gets six-year prison term" — an unintended juxtaposition of what's best and what's worst in human nature?
For many of the seven recipients of the Anthony Brucia Success Award on Saturday at the Madera Municipal Golf Course, the mix of what's awesome with what's toxic is very real. As one recipient wrote, "There will always be ups and downs but despite the obstacles one must try and that's what I'm doing and will keep on doing to show my mother that she did an excellent job raising my sisters and me."
The mom and her daughters, abandoned by an alcoholic husband who soon after died of a heart attack, unwaveringly cared for her five daughters over the years, working hard in the fields and somehow instilling gratitude for the "small things in life." As stated in her letters of recommendation: "She has grown up in and has attended schools plagued by rural poverty and a general lack of academic encouragement and resources. Nevertheless, she has found success and time to give back to both the local and school communities."
Mom was not there for another of the award winners. This mom was in denial as the stepfather sexually abused all of her daughters as they entered their pre-teen years. This award winner admitted exhibiting all of the self-abusive behaviors that are evident in children of abuse: poor school attendance, a drop in grades, drinking and self-loathing. When a sixth-grade algebra teacher shared the story of his sister's abuse she began her turnaround. She developed the courage to tell grandma, who was there to support her with the understanding, compassion and nurturance she had not received from her mom. Thank God for such grandmothers!
This young lady converted her personal tragedy into a passion for advocacy. In partnership with the Family Crisis Center, she founded TEAR (Teens Ending Abusive Relationships) on her high school campus to promote awareness and education on sexual and emotional abuse and bullying, in order help prevent domestic violence. As this young lady's counselor put it, "She serves as a shining example of how you can overcome adversity and achieve your goals, showing us the possibility of hope and happiness that is within everyone's reach."
The personal histories of the other five young women are similarly touching and inspirational. Without doubt, these young people deserve recognition and support. That is why the California Association of Supervisors of Child Welfare and Attendance (CASCWA) met at the golf course on Saturday – as it has done for the past 7 years.
CASCWA's mission is to find and support young people who have faced significant personal or family trials. They have been burdened by circumstances that many do not survive. Yet, they have not only survived, they have triumphed. CASCWA has been privileged to know hundreds of young people who have proven themselves amazingly resilient and inspirational!
I'm sure all the young women given Anthony Brucia Success Awards on Saturday will make great mothers when it is their turn, either by reflecting the wonderful mothers who stood steadfast through nearly insuperable trials or by becoming, despite the odds, the kind of mothers their mothers were not.
J. Galen Wright,

Mayor Michael Hancock on Monday called for an outside review of the Denver Sheriff Department with a focus on the embattled department's internal affairs bureau.
Denver safety director Stephanie O'Malley said hiring an independent firm to study the sheriff's department is her priority as she tries to stop the flow of abuse complaints.
"The question that continues to present itself is, 'Is there something we're missing?' " O'Malley said. "Perhaps hiring an independent firm to come in and take a look is a good thing."
Hancock announced the plan to bring an outside look at the agency during an interview with Colorado Public Radio.
Denver Jail Abuse
Comprehensive coverage of abuse in Denver's jails
"It would be beneficial to get some external eyes," Hancock said on Colorado Matters.
Hancock's call comes a week after Gary Wilson stepped down as sheriff amid a growing number of abuse cases.
Also last week, the city reached a tentative $3.25 million settlement with former inmate Jamal Hunter, who had reported being attacked by deputies and also by fellow inmates as a deputy turned his head.
The City Council on Monday gave preliminary approval to a transfer of $3.25 million from the city's contingency fund to the liability claims fund to cover the Hunter settlement. It will consider approving the measure Aug. 4.
If the city moves forward with an external look into the sheriff department, it would be in addition to several reviews already underway.
The city's human resources office is assessing the sheriff department's organization and operations. And Wilson had created four task forces to recommend changes to the polices and procedures within the department.
O'Malley said she is seeking recommendations for an independent review from national sheriff and corrections associations. She hopes to have a deal signed as soon as possible.
As for paying for it, O'Malley was not sure how much a study would cost but said, "The funds would be available because of the priority of getting it done."
O'Malley said she hopes an independent study would be a top-to-bottom review that covered everything from recruiting to management structure to inmate grievances.
She also said she would ask any firm to look at the amount of overtime worked by deputies and to look at the internal affairs bureau and what qualifications deputies should have to be appointed to it.
The number of internal affairs complaints continues to grow, in part because all inmate grievances now are sent to the bureau. As of last week, there were 147 open internal affairs investigations.
Late last year, the city's independent monitor, Nick Mitchell, recommended a number of changes to the department's grievance process after finding dozens of cases that had not been investigated. His findings led to 47 new internal affairs cases being opened.
Hiring an outside consultant to look at a law enforcement agency in Denver is not unprecedented.
In 2008, the Police Assessment Resource Center in Los Angeles completed a report on the Denver Police Department's use of deadly force.
In that report, the analysts, many of whom had law enforcement backgrounds, looked at 25 instances of officer-involved shootings to help the department improve supervision of officers and avoid unnecessary shootings.
The study found several areas in need of improvement but also reported that Denver police already had been changing their practices — a step in the right direction.
At the time, Denver's then-independent monitor Richard Rosenthal noted that many cities conduct similar reviews only after they have fallen under scrutiny of the U.S. Department of Justice.
Thus far, the justice department has not contacted the city about an investigation, Hancock and other city officials have said.
But U.S. District Judge John Kane has urged federal authorities to investigate the sheriff and police departments after he found issues with an internal affairs investigation in the Hunter case.
Community pressure to fix the sheriff department is growing.
On Monday, more than a dozen members of Shorter Community AME Church delivered letters to the mayor, O'Malley, interim Sheriff Elias Diggins and District Attorney Mitch Morrissey to call for justice for Marvin Booker.
Booker was a homeless preacher who died at the Denver County jail in July 2010 after deputies shocked him with a stun gun and put him in a chokehold before he stopped breathing.
Five deputies were cleared of wrongdoing, but the church members believe they should be held accountable, said the Rev. Timothy Tyler, the pastor. The case is scheduled for a civil trial in September.
Tyler said reviews are needed but something needs to be done quickly to change the jails' culture.
"I'm not sure the mayor and the others in power have come to grips with the fact that there is a broken culture in there," Tyler said. "There is an immediate and urgent change that needs to happen in that department before someone else dies."

Does very well as Raid 0 or 1
This review is from: areca ARC-1200 2-Port PCI-Express x1 SATA Controller Card
Pros: Hardware RAID, 128 MB ram for write back operation, passive heat-sink.
Cons: None.
Other Thoughts: I have had this card for 4 years now and it is still performing quite well. It only supports SATA 2, but that is to be expected due to its age.

Locks up system when coming out of sleep
This review is from: areca ARC-1200 2-Port PCI-Express x1 SATA Controller Card
Pros: UI is good.
Cons: Resume from sleep fails. Support is not so great.
Other Thoughts: I tried this in two different computers, a Dell Inspiron 530 and Dell Studio XPS 435MT with Win7 64-bit. These use different chipsets, though the BIOS is similar.

The buzzer on boot is a good thing
This review is from: areca ARC-1200 2-Port PCI-Express x1 SATA Controller Card
Pros: I read a few reviews here complaining about the buzzer on boot. I have used a dozen of these in the past 2 years to provide 10 and less user workgroups a place to host their files. The buzzer is designed to notify a small business owner when their is a fault (bad drive, etc). Without the buzzer few business owners would know when their raid degraded. Yes with RAID cards you can setup email notifications, etc but nothing beats a beep. A simple beep that will work, email notifications can be haphazard and may not be noticed by the recipient. The buzzer beeps on every boot so the tech, user or small business owner knows the buzzer is still operational and has not lost its function. The users that are bothered by this beep on boot just need to buy another card. As an IT professional I feel a lot better for the systems that I have these in, that are often stored in a corner and only seen once a year, knowing that anyone in an earshot will know where a problem with the RAID and notifies us.
Cons: none as of yet but sure that they exist see other reviews.

Great little card
This review is from: areca ARC-1200 2-Port PCI-Express x1 SATA Controller Card
Pros: As others have said, this is a great little 2-port RAID card for the price. In fact, Newegg often has open-box of this item, saving you more money! You *can* boot in degraded RAID mode, however to do so you must enable the option in the RAID BIOS menu. Also you probably want to disable the alarm if a drive has failed and you are waiting on a replacement. Works great in Windows Server 2008 R2 with the storport driver.
Cons: Only 1x PCIe, and also only supports SATA 3Gbs. But for the price you can't have it all. Also wish it was a 4 port card...
Other Thoughts: Running with a pair of WD 1TB RE4 hard drives. Initialization took a couple hours, but it does a complete surface test. In my case I'm glad it did because I had a defective drive right off the bat which I had to RMA!

I hate some people
This review is from: areca ARC-1200 2-Port PCI-Express x1 SATA Controller Card
Pros: Worked like a charm. Needless to say, only time will tell. I did however test by disconnecting a drive and a rebuild was flawless.
Cons: RAID 1 needs initializing. Will take 1-2 hours depending on your size. I have used other RAID 1 solutions, and they usually do not need to be initialized. I do not know, but maybe a initialization at the beginning is a good thing for the RAID stack.
Other Thoughts: A previous reviewer stated that you can not boot with this card in critical status, but testing proofed different. My server 2008R2 booted fine with the RAID in critical mode.

ESXi Update
This review is from: areca ARC-1200 2-Port PCI-Express x1 SATA Controller Card
Pros: I had to update my review because I finally got it working. I emailed Areca's customer support and I got response the following business day. They instructed me to download and install a VMWare driver listed on the website. I had to download VSphere CLI and installed the driver in a minute. Added my RAID as a new datastore and Voila! It showed up :)
Cons: When you download the driver the help file inside says: Areca RAID volumes can only be the data storages on ESXi 4.x." and not ESXi system disks. However in ESX 4 you can have Areca RAID drives both as system and datastore drives. This really isn't a con, cuz I plan to install ESXi on a separate drive anyways and I'll keep all my vmachines on the datastore
Other Thoughts: I hope after all this trouble my new ESXi server will fix me some breakfast in the morning.

Can't get it to work in ESXi
This review is from: areca ARC-1200 2-Port PCI-Express x1 SATA Controller Card
Pros: Great hardware raid card. Lots of options for configuring raid. Loved the web based feature where you can manage your raid and update your firmware - you can do it even remotely. You can set it up to send email alerts.
Cons: ESXi 4 and 4.1 can't find this card. I don't know why. I read reviews here that people have no problem with this card in ESXi. I got this card with 1.48 firmware and even after the update to the latest 1.49, ESXi 4 still can't see this card.
Other Thoughts: For all small budget ESX builders this card should be cheaper, cause it only has 2 sata ports.

Good/Cheap 2 port hardware controller
This review is from: areca ARC-1200 2-Port PCI-Express x1 SATA Controller Card
Pros: I am using this controller for my Dad's system after nvraid ate the array. Unlike all software raid I have seen in RAID1 sequential reads will read off both drives. Using two 1.5 TB seagate drives in RAID-1 I saw 182 MB/sec reads (card bottleneck) and 90 megabyte/sec writes. Unlike most software/onboard RAID1 this card is giving near double the read performance as a stand-alone drive with redundancy.
Cons: A little cheaper would be nice as its only a 2 port card.
Other Thoughts: Pro Tech didn't read the manual. If a drive is missing during start/died (while the array was not active) then the controller will not activate the raid set (degrading it) by default. You have to go into the setup and 'activate' the incomplete raid set (degrading it) to activate it. You can enable this so you don't have to do this in the future but this is a security feature so you don't degrade an array when moving chassis or something else and one of the drives isn't detected.
