This is really amazing! The architecture and lighting is astounding!
I love the strength in the verticals.. gives the work a very calm, almost desolate air. As if the place hasn't been found for centuries.
The contrasting diagonal light source is super subtle, but just enough to give an interesting variety to it.
The title; however, is absolutely genius in my opinion. It made me go from "wow this piece is pretty cool" to "Wow I absolutely love this work omfg"
Found you through ponies, but I think I honestly Love every non pony work you've done. You are an amazing artist and I look up to you immensely Keep on keepin' on.
Beautiful. Things like this always struck me.
to jest wyjebane mistrzu
I like this crap.
For a no-pony...it looks bloody amazing!
I really like the bright "sandy" colors you got here, really captures the feel of PoP.
I really like the bright "sandy" colors you got here, really captures the feel of PoP.
I'm getting the Prince of Persia feel. looks epic.
Mines of Moria...?
Should happen much more often. Wow.
Crappy? I think you did pretty damn well with this.
Mother fucken GOD how do you do this shit? <3
Very very impressive.
O.O oooh! ♥
Wow, I actually think it's a pretty incredible background! Great sense of scale with the little shadow of a warrior there.
I like the forest-like effect of the architecture.
I don't understand the face that accompanies that sentence. That looks great! It gives a nice sense of mystery to the lone man approaching the great silver doors. The tree was a nice touch :3
This reminds me of Shadow of the Colossus. Incredible work!
Mega Awesome
damn good
For a moment I thought it was Erebor from The Hobbit.
Don't take this the wrong way... stop drawing ponies!

Just a drawing.
I love that those long, knobbly hands give your women a strong, slightly androgynous quality.
Love your art.
I absolutely love your style/technique. Especially the way you did the flowers in this one.
this so puts me in mind of Aubrey Beardsley's style. Absolutely loving it. Beautiful creation
Wonderful stuff! Breathtaking in it's apparent simplicity.
Thank you. This is a direction I am going to be taking. I am glad you like it. Simplicity can be very difficult.
Very Aubrey Beardsley-esque and beautiful as always. Really nice hand. I always struggle with those things ;-p
I always struggle with them as well...I struggle with all of it. Thanks!
gorgeous. love the simplicity.
but an awesome one... I love it!
Everything is so fragile.. A butterfly, the flowers beneath her and, most of all, herself. It's a stunning piece, simple, yet wonderful.
nice one

Salt and Light (9 of 21) by Daniel Rodgers
This content is part of a series.Salt and Light (9 of 21)
Series: THE SERMON ON THE MOUNT
Dan Rodgers
Matthew 5:13-16
January 4, 2006
In our last lesson we had concluded the beatitudes. This evening we will pick up with (vv. 13-16), as the Lord continues His sermon on the mount.
In (5:1, 2), it says, And seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain: and when he was set, his disciples came unto him: [2] And he opened his mouth, and taught them." The place from which He spoke was a small mountain located just above the southwest side of the Sea of Galilee. From His vantage point He could look below and see the lush green valley and the beautiful sea, sometimes referred to in the Bible as the Lake of Gennesaret. As Jesus continues His sermon, He begins a discussion using imagery about the importance of salt and light and how believers, in a symbolic way, are much like both. Let me give you two things:
I. Believers Are the Salt of the Earth
II. Believers Are the Light of the World
In Bible times salt and oil were valuable commodities. Salt was used as a preservative, and oil was used in lamps for light. Because there was no refrigeration, meat and fish were packed in salt in order to preserve them. Salt was even sometimes used to cure a toothache; a little bit of salt placed in a tooth cavity would often eliminate the pain. Again, all the meat sacrifices in the Old Testament required salt. Leviticus 2:13, And every oblation of thy meat offering shalt thou season with salt; neither shalt thou suffer the salt of the covenant of thy God to be lacking from thy meat offering: with all thine offerings thou shalt offer salt."
Turning our attention back to (vs. 13), we find both a positive and a negative. Let's put down first of all...
A. The Positive: "Ye are the salt of the earth."
1. Salt is a preservative
a. Salt prevents things from going bad--it prevents decay.
ILLUS: I remember my father-in-law's old smoke house. Laid out on a wooden floor, on a bed of salt, were his shoulders of ham--good ol' country ham...mmm...mmm, good. If you've never had country ham, you've missed something. Can there be anything better for breakfast than a big slab of country ham, some eggs, hot grits, homemade biscuits and red eye gravy?
When he placed the ham in the smoke house, he put salt under it and salt on top of it. Occasionally, he would re-salt it, making certain the meat didn't spoil. That ham would last up to a year. That's hard to believe, isn't it? Weeks, and even months later, his wife could cut off a piece of that meat and cook it for breakfast--nothing tasted better.
1) In much the same way, we, as believers, are the salt of the earth. If it were not for the presence if believers in the world, the world would soon decay, self-corrupt and be destroyed. And in truth, that's what's happening before our eyes today. The closer we come to the return of the Lo ...

Someone told me they like to eat ramen uncooked! just munch the noodles right out of the package - and that little flavor packet just gets tossed out with the wrapping. I thought that was odd............ raw ramen. Icky.
If I make the same dinner several nights in a row, he gets tired of it (though I don't think he did with steak, haha). But only sometimes. Some of his food habits are hard to figure out heh. I have always been very dude-ish about food. When I started making my own lunches at my last job (after spending about $40/week to buy lunch in the food court), it was yogurt containers, PB&J on wheat, and a banana. Grape jelly, preferably.
He made a bit thing of rice over the weekend, I've been taking a little to work for lunches (with coconut oil to melt into it), and he's had some with dinner ("since I don't eat as much during the day"). We have frozen broc that's easy enough to prep, or I could pick him up some bags of fresh mixed veggies (we used to use a carrot, broc & cauli mix in our tofu stir fry days, shortly before I went primal heh). The meat is always frozen, so I guess that would just mean slicing some up before freezing so it defrosts faster and is pre-cut, or pre-cooking some over the weekend for him to use throughout the week. Still not sure how long it'll last, freshness-wise. Most of the time, it seems like I can keep stuff closed up in the fridge, cooked, for up to a week before I feel like it's questionable, but I've definitely encountered "turning" meat before then.
Anyway, I just want to make sure he'll use this stuff. I guess if he doesn't, I will, so it's not a huge loss. If I pre-cook for him, he'll probably go, "I can do that!" and start doing it for himself and I will worry less. In general, we could do with larger portions on the weekends to use throughout the week. Perhaps this weekend, I will make a stew, since potatoes don't seem to be doing me any harm. Cubed chicken breast sounds kind of sad, but that's what we've got, otherwise I'll go pick up some stew meat. Need to get carrots and some other veg anyway (he finds celery too bitter, so not that). Already have the frozen pearl onions. Maybe I'll just grab a chicken at Trader Joe's (they have reasonably priced organic free-range chix) so I can make bone broth after.
Sentence fragments today I'm up to 1500mg Tryptophan for the day and finally feeling functional. I'm getting some work done and making a real effort to use pronouns. I don't know why those go out the window when my head is on backwards.

thats funny - all these years I had never heard of eating ramen raw!!! I'm so sheltered!
I worked at a grocery store in college, one time a homeless man came in and bought one package of Ramen (they were 13 cents apiece then) and paid me in all pennies. When I went out for a break right after that he was standing on the sidewalk eating them dry. I led a sheltered childhood and had never really experienced anything like that before, I went next door to McDonalds and got him a meal, sooo much better I know, I should of gone back in the store and got him some sardines or something....
FWIW, I used to use raw ramen in a chicken salad I loved to make pre-primal.
I've heard that real ramen, in Japan, is amazing. Something to try someday, if I ever travel there.
I'm taking a mental health/sick day. Gut is at a standstill and I'm determined to get things moving. I'm feeling very down in the dumps. I went on a sugar run last night, bought some dairy free (coconut milk based) ice cream (chocolate hazelnut with fudge, it's meh), carob powder, coconut milk (Whole Food's 365 brand), and honey. I only ate a little of the ice cream, and a little of some hot chocolate I made, and felt really, really ill. I was in bed before 10PM. I feel better today, but frustrated that my gut is being so stubborn.
The hot carob drink was not as good as I wanted it to be, but the powdered carob was a better deal than any of the powdered chocolate options at Whole Foods. I was tempted to splurge on a "sipping chocolate" container, but it didn't have that many servings in it. Looked really rich/tasty though! I think I'll try adding vanilla extract, chili powder, and/or more honey or nutmeg to the drink. It's chilling in the fridge, not sure what consistency it'll be before I heat it up.

Depression Lies
I had ramen at lunch yesterday. Not exactly the food I had built it up to in my mind. I've had true ramen (a dear friend was born on a Navy base in Japan and her parents picked up some ofthe cooking) and that shit is wonderful.
Everyone needs a mental health day every once in a while.
Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, steak in one hand, chocolate in the other, yelling "Holy F***, What a Ride!"

Will Bill Walker trade end up hurting Celtics?
Will Bill Walker trade end up hurting Celtics?
posted at 4/17/2011 5:56 PM EDTI always believed (if given minutes) Bill Walker was an answer for Boston, both in resting Ray and Paul and developing a young wing for the future to go along with Rondo, Perk and Big Baby. Now they have traded Perk for Green which we all know was a big lost. Even though Green is a better player than BW right now, I still like BW's upside (he's only 23). And, most games BW plays 12 or more minutes, the Knicks play better D and better overall (see the Miami win). Can/Will he make a difference in this series.....I say yes, if D'antoni (unlike Doc) is smart enough to use him.
Re: Will Bill Walker trade end up hurting Celtics?
posted at 4/17/2011 6:12 PM EDTThat trade got us within game seven of the finals. then part of that trade got us Green Krytic and a draft pick, Ge is a decent player but I think hus part of the trade did us well inspite of how people feel about the perkins part of it,

2015 Ferrari Cars
The flagship brand of the Fiat empire, Ferrari currently offers four main models including the 458 Italia, F12berlinetta, FF and California. Joining these cars soon will be a hybrid supercar Ferrari simply called the 'La Ferrari'.
Founded by Enzo Ferrari in 1929 the company initially built race cars before it began producing street-legal production cars to help fund the motorsports effort. The first production car was the V12 powered 125 S, which launched in 1947. Perhaps its biggest claim to fame is its supercar program, which began in 1988 with the creation of the F40, succeeded by the F50 and then the Enzo.

Albuquerque - Downtown
Dog House Drive In
Nearby Theater: Century 14 Downtown (See Film Times)
Cuisine: American
Read more: P.M. (10/9/2008)
Dog House Drive InSometimes we're so anxious for a double green chile cheeseburger, we dig in without even washing our hands. That's how tantalizing this food is! The flashing sign beckons us to hot dog mecca, where we indulge in not only dogs but the essential tater tots and Frito pie. Get your dogs to go and race home so you can enjoy them with a few brews. Or go inside the Dog House and find a seat at the tiny counter, then nurse that sweaty tongue of yours with a milkshake. (Alibi Staff, August 11, 2010)

Antojitos La Tia
4700 Fourth Street NWNorth Valley)
Albuquerque NM
phone number unavailable
Tues-Sat: 11am-9pm Closed Sunday & Monday (hours can change without notice)
Cuisine: Mexican
Antojitos La TiaHow many times have you driven past the little white food cart at Fourth Street and Griegos and thought, Is it worth stopping for? Without a doubt, the answer is yes. Have a seat at the picnic table in front and watch tia through a Plexiglas window as she rolls up tacos, burritos, quesadillas and gorditas with carne asada, pollo asado, picadillo (spiced, minced beef) chicharrones and lingua (meltingly tender tongue). Grab a communal bowl of salsa and become happily fed while making new friends. There are a few types of aguas frescas (fruit juices) to drink, and in the winter, ALT is one of the few places you can get champurrado (a hot chocolate-atole beverage) in Albuquerque.

Little Red Hamburger Hut
Mon-Sat 10:30am-9pm (hours can change without notice)
Cuisine: American, New Mexican
Full review: A rose by any other name (2/28/2008)
Little Red Hamburger HutLittle Red Hamburger Hut has the best burgers around. Called a "little red," a meaty, perfectly grilled all-beef patty is topped with lettuce, onion and thick, piquant red chile, then bundled in a billowy white bun. The bun soaks up the sauce and clings to the meat, bringing all the flavors together. Burgers are served either on a bun or tortilla and can be ordered small, medium or large. Cheese and chile (in either color) never cost extra, and satisfaction is always guaranteed. Cash only! (Alibi Staff, August 11, 2010)

Full review: The mysterious Azteca Chinese (12/26/2013)
Azteca ChineseA Mexican-Chinese restaurant seems like a strange phenomenon until you consider the fact that many Chinese restaurants employ workers of Mexican origin in their kitchens. Azteca offers both cuisines, though, disappointingly, there's no fusion here but rather two sepearte menus. We suggest skipping the lackluster Chinese and sticking with the flavorful and authentic Mexican street food. Note: Cash only! (Alibi Staff, December 26, 2013)

THE DETAILS: The Foodborne Diseases Active Surveillance Network (FoodNet) of CDC found nearly 19,000 laboratory-confirmed cases of infection in FoodNet surveillance areas across 10 states (California, Colorado, Connecticut, Georgia, Maryland, Minnesota, New Mexico, New York, Oregon, and Tennessee), according to the report. Outbreaks associated with Campylobacter, Cryptosporidium, Cyclospora, E-coli, Listeria, Salmonella, Shigella, Vibrio, and Yersinia foodborne illness were comparable to 3 years ago.
WHAT IT MEANS: The Food and Drug Administration and U.S. Department of Agriculture have a ways to go when it comes to making sure our food is safe. Recalls are still trickling in after tainted peanut butter made its way into hundreds of food products earlier this year, and just last month one of the country's largest producers of pistachios recalled its crop due to salmonella contamination. So as government agencies work to make our food system safer, we all need to do everything we can to protect ourselves from foodborne illness.
Use these food-safety tips to find safe food at the market and prepare it safely at home:
• Know where the food's from. Buying what food you can directly from a local, sustainable farmer doesn't protect you 100 percent against foodborne illness. But if something you eat does make you sick, you'll know the source. Buying locally also puts you in the driver's seat. You can visit the farm, look around, and make sure conditions are sanitary. In the peanut butter salmonella outbreak, the plant in question had a leaky roof and was noticeably infested with pests—problems that probably would have been fixed if they were likely to be spotted by visitors. Also, ask your local farmer to see the results of an updated well test. That can ensure that the water they're using to water crops and hydrate their animals is free of pathogens.
• Make your own produce wash. Buying organic produce means your fruits and veggies weren't marinated in harmful chemicals in the growing field, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't wash them when you bring them home. Even organic produce can harbor Salmonella and E. coli bacteria, so use this homemade mix to kill lingering germs: In a spray bottle, mix 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 2 tablespoons distilled white vinegar and 1 cup cold tap water. Shake well to mix it up, spray on your produce, and rinse before eating.
• Be safe with meat and fish. Sidestep chicken seasoned with Salmonella by avoiding store-bought meat that's not cold to the touch. When you cook it, your sizzling chicken should read at least 165 degrees Fahrenheit on a meat thermometer to kill off bacteria. Pick red beef over gray-tinted meat—again, avoiding any that's not cold to the touch—and cook ground beef until it reaches at least 165 degrees. Beef roasts, steaks, and fish should reach 145 degrees. Invest in a meat thermometer to make sure your cooked meat reaches the ideal temperature. Shellfish like shrimp, scallops, clams, or oysters should boil for 3 to 5 minutes to be safe. Thawed lobster requires broiling 4 inches from heat for 3 to 15 minutes.
• Cut out cross-contamination. Use one cutting board for produce and another for meat and fish products. When storing meat, poultry, and seafood in your refrigerator, place them on the bottom shelf wrapped in pans to avoid spillage.
• Nuke it right. Make sure you heat up leftovers to at least 165 degrees Fahrenheit, or dangerous bacteria could survive the warm-up. Mix the food up halfway through cooking so there won't be any cold spots. As a side note, never heat your food in plastic or Styrofoam containers because they can leach dangerous chemicals into your food.

The preseason-ranked No. 22 Golden Bears, ranked in the preseason top 25 for the first time since 2005, meet No. 9 Stanford, UC Davis, San Jose State and Sacramento State at the Hornet's Nest. Last season, the Bears opened the 2013 season with a strong quad meet victory over Kentucky, Arizona and Auburn at home in Berkeley. Cal is 34-49 in home openers. Follow the action online with live stats available on HornetSports.com and meet updates, including rotation-by-rotation scores, on the @CalWGym Twitter. Cal seeks to build on its 2013 success under the direction of second-year head coach Justin Howell, last year's Pac-12 and NACGC West Region Coach of the Year. The Bears earned their first regional berth as a team for the first time since 2007, aided by all-arounders Mariesah Pierce and Alicia Asturias and specialist Madisyn O' Brien, as well as Pac-12 Freshman of the Year Serena Leong. Both Asturias and Leong return for 2014, plus a new crop of eight talented freshmen who will provide immediate boosts throughout the lineup. BEAR BITS Cal opens the season ranked No. 22. It is the program's first preseason top 25 ranking since 2005. The Bears are 34-49 in home openers. This is Cal's first appearance at the third annual NorCal Meet. Stanford is the first of eight preseason-ranked teams the Bears will face in 2014. The Bears are 106-110 in the regular season against their NorCal Meet opponents. Cal has the edge over Sacramento State (19-13), San Jose State (28-20) and UC Davis (41-7), while Stanford leads 70-18. NEXT UPThe Bears will remain on the road for the second week of the season as they head to Denver for a dual meet against the Pioneers on Saturday, Jan. 11 at 6 p.m. The Blue and Gold returns to Berkeley to host perennial Pac-12 power Utah in the home opener on Friday, Jan. 17 at 7 p.m. POWER IN THE PAC-12The Bears are scheduled to face eight teams ranked in GymInfo's preaseason top 25 during the 2014 regular season, including three top 10 opponents in UCLA (No. 4), Utah (6) and Stanford (9). Three other Pac-12 schools made the cut – Oregon State (12), Washington (20) and Arizona State (25). Cal's non-conference matchups include jaunts against No. 18 Denver and No. 21 Kentucky. BEARS PICKED TO FINISH SEVENTHPac-12 coaches projected the Golden Bears to finish seventh in the conference in this year's preseason coaches poll. Cal finished seventh last year ahead of Arizona State and has never finished higher than fifth (2008, 2000). PAC-12 CHAMPIONSHIPS RETURN TO BERKELEYThe Pac-12 Gymnastics Championships will return to Berkeley for the first time since 2005 as the Bears are set to host all eight Pac-12 schools on Saturday, March 22 in Haas Pavilion. THREE MEETS TELEVISED IN 2014Three meets featuring the Cal women's gymnastics team will air on the Pac-12 Networks this season. Those meets are: • Friday, Jan. 31 vs. UCLA (Pac-12 Bay Area & LA) • Monday, March 3 at Stanford • Saturday, March 22 Pac-12 Championships GET YOUR GOLDEN TICKETAll regular-season Cal women's gymnastics home meets will be ticketed this season. Tickets for all home meets will be available for purchase at the ticket office on Spieker Plaza the day of the meet, beginning approximately one hour before the start of each meet and through the end of the second rotation. Tickets are $10 for adults and $5 for youth (12th grade and under) and seniors (age 65 and above). Membership for the popular Cub Club season-pass program, which allows youth special perks such as an exclusive seating area and a member t-shirt, is also available for purchase for $30 for the season. VETERAN LEADERSHIPThis season, Cal has three veterans to look to for leadership. Seniors Alicia Asturias and Dallas Crawford and junior Maddie Kratzke have been named captains for 2014. Along with the captains, five more letterwinners return - Pac-12 Freshman of the Year Serena Leong, Kristi Heymann, Jordan Widener, Crystal Paz and Leilani Alferos. All eight of Cal's returning members combined for a total of 35 top 3 finishes in 2013. EIGHT NEWCOMERS ADD DEPTHNewcomers comprise exactly half of Cal's 16-Bear roster this season as head coach Justin Howell added eight freshmen who are expected to make an immediate impact in the lineup. Cal''s eight new faces include: international elite gymnast Jessica Howe, 2013 state vault champion and regional beam, floor and all-around champion Charlie Owens, Amber Takara, 2011 Junior Olympic National Team member Isabelle Castillo, 2013 Region 3 beam champion Dana Ho, Zoe Draghi, 2013 Region 1 all-around and beam champion Desiree Palomares and WOGA standout Emily Richardson. TWO FOR 2015The Bears will get another major boost of talent next year, as Toni-Ann Williams and Alicia Gallarzo commited to Cal in the early signing period to join Cal starting in 2014-15. An international elite gymnast, Williams (Randallstown, Md./United Gymnastix) is a two-time World Championships competitor and Jamaica National Team member, while Gallarzo (Burbank, Calif./Wallers' GymJam) was California's 2012 Level 10 uneven bars champion and finished ninth on beam at the 2013 Junior Olympic Nationals.

Chart patterns come in many shapes and sizes, but one of my favorites is the triangle chart pattern. Triangles are formed when the price action of a stock consolidates into a narrower and narrower range. As the price action becomes confined to a smaller area - becoming more tightly wound - a breakout is soon to follow. Triangles come in three forms: ascending, descending and symmetric. No matter which form occurs, how the pattern is traded remains constant. The following triangle patterns may present breakout opportunities in these stocks relatively soon. (For more, see Triangles: A Short Study In Continuation Patterns.)
Intuit Inc (Nasdaq:INTU) stock has been consolidating since November in a symmetric triangle pattern. A rise above $54.25 will break the pattern to the upside, providing a target of $60 to $60.50. On the other hand, a drop below $51.90 will break the pattern to the downside and could trigger selling into $46. Therefore, both sides of the pattern should be watched. Stops are placed just outside the pattern, on the opposite side of the breakout. If the stock moves above $54.25, a long entry can be taken and a stop placed below $51.90. $56 to 56.50 has been a strong resistance area throughout 2011; in the event of an upside breakout watch this area closely as the stock will need to get through this level to reach the profit target.
Chipotle Mexican Grill (NYSE:CMG) has struggled to get to, and hold above, $350. This has created an ascending triangle formation as the stock continues to make higher lows since August. Ideally an ascending triangle should reach similar highs, whereas CMG has been making slightly higher highs on each price swing, forming a pattern called a rising wedge. Despite this slight deviation from the classic pattern, the stock still sets up well. If the stock can break above $353, it indicates a breakout to the upside. Keep in the mind the stock has been making slightly higher highs so a buffer can be added to avoid false breakouts. The target for an upside breakout is $425. Stops can be placed below the lower trendline below at $310. On-balance volume is diverging a bit with price, indicating potential underlying weakness. A breakout higher should be confirmed by a rising OBV reading.
Jabil Circuit Inc (NYSE:JBL) has had a strong start to the year and is very close to breaking out of an ascending triangle. If the stock breaks above $21.50, the pattern will be broken, providing a target of $24.50. Stops can be placed below $19 - the lower trendline. Therefore the reward to risk ratio is not that great currently. The $22 and $23 levels have proven to be strong resistance in the past though, so these levels should be watched as well. On-balance volume is rising though, confirming the strength seen so far this year and a potential upside breakout.
TransCanada Corp (NYSE:TRP) has been consolidating in a large ascending triangle formation since June. The stock will need to push convincingly above $45 to signal a breakout to the upside. The profit target is the psychologically significant $50, followed by $52 if it can hold above $50. The stock action has been choppy, and the corrections deep, which unfortunately means the reward to risk is not great currently. The pattern indicates stop level between $39 and $38. Near $40 is an alternative stop area. On-balance volume is in a significant downtrend, indicating breakouts to the upside should be traded cautiously and exited at the first sign of trouble. (For more, see On-Balance Volume: The Way To Smart Money.)
The Bottom Line
Triangles can be traded for both downside and upside breakouts. Stops are placed just outside the pattern, on the opposite side of the breakout. These formations can provide a good reward for the risk, especially as the stock becomes more and more tightly wound. Other indicators, such as on-balance volume can be used to aid in determining strength and the likelihood of a breakout succeeding or failing. (For more, see Continuation Patterns: An Introduction.)

For One.*
MOST of us have observed that, if we look for a moment at a light as it is being turned out, we see an image of it a while afterward. That image is an afterimage, or after-sensation. Such images manifest themselves according to traceable laws and play an important, though seldom recognized, rôle in our experience. We shall now make a study of some of their characteristic modes of behavior.
Success in this experiment depends mainly upon concentration of attention and economy in the use of the eyes. The eyes should not be allowed to wander aimlessly over the figures, and it is well to close them for rest as often as possible. Clear images can be obtained only after steady fixation. It is easier to get the after-image with one eye alone, but in the long run it is more restful to use the two eyes together.

It feels incredibly right that criminals should be shot. Of course, many of our killing fantasies are not limited to dealing with criminals. Many is the time I have wished I'd had a tank instead of a car so I could blow away the fool who cut in front of me without signaling. There is always a murderous thought for the bank teller who will not cash my check, as well as for my landlord's snotty secretary. This is the problem: the idea hurting those who violate us feels very right, but it does not make much sense.
Also, since neither my brothers, niece nor friends know anything about guns or self-defense, I am afraid that if a handgun had been available and they had gone for it, they could have easily been disarmed and injured, if not killed. If Bernard Goetz's muggers had had guns, he probably would be dead along with some innocent subway riders. Criminals have better thought out and planned their crimes. They are usually prepared for any of the victims' possible responses. Very often, they have done the crime before. The victim, on the other hand, has watched too many Scarecrow and Mrs. King episodes and has foolish notions about combat.
Further, the many reports about accidental shootings while cleaning guns, about violence in domestic disputes and about little Johnny blowing his brains out while playing with daddy's gun point out other dangers of handgun ownership.
Many people argue that banning handguns will simply keep them out of the...

Nation has high college remedial education rate
DAVIE, Fla. Professor Derron Bowen teaches high school math to college students, patiently chalking equations on the board on basic arithmetic topics such as the speed of a driver on a 20-hour trip.
Bowen's class at Broward College in South Florida is for students who didn't score high enough on an entrance test to get into college-level math. In all, about two-thirds of students entering the community college need to take at least one remedial course in math, English or reading.
Nationwide, about a third of first-year students in 2007-08 had taken at least one remedial course, according to the U.S. Department of Education. At public two-year colleges, that number rises to about 42 percent.
Education observers worry that the vast numbers of students coming to college unprepared will pose a major roadblock to President Barack Obama's goal for the United States to once again lead the world in college degrees.
"We don't get there from here," said Bob Wise, president of the Alliance for Excellent Education and former governor of West Virginia.
In October, the Education Department reported that many states declare students to have grade-level mastery of reading and math when they do not. In a 2007 ACT National Curriculum Survey of college professors, 65 percent said their states poorly prepare students for college-level coursework.
The survey found that professors want students with stronger skills in specific areas, while high schools typically impart a less comprehensive understanding of a broad range of topics.
In his remedial math class in Florida, Bowen sees students who haven't been in school for a decade or more, but some haven't even had time to hang up their high school diplomas.
"How were they allowed to go through?" Bowen said. "I'm thinking, 'If I could have been teaching you back when you were 6, 7, you would be a powerhouse today.'"
The Obama administration is pushing states to adopt tougher standards, and governors and education leaders across the country are working together to propose a uniform set of common standards. A first draft was released in March, and a final proposal could come this summer.
For others, the problem points to the need to develop alternative forms of job training for people who aren't academically inclined and are unlikely to finish college.
"We're telling kids you'll be a third-class citizen if you don't go to college," said Marty Nemko, an education policy consultant and author. "And colleges are taking kids who in previous generations would not have gone to college."
Nemko favors an apprenticeship program similar to those offered in Finland, Japan and Germany.
That's a point that Daniel Paz, a student in Bowen's class, says he can relate to.
"College is not for me," said Paz, who graduated from high school last year and is considering a career in criminal justice. "It's something I have to do, but if there was another way, than I'd be doing something else."
Some students in remedial courses are older workers trying to jump-start a new career. But a sizable amount are recent graduates who performed well in high school: A 2008 study by the nonprofit Strong American Schools found that nearly four out of five remedial students had a high school GPA of 3.0 or higher.
The price of providing remedial training is costly. The Alliance for Excellent Education estimates the nation loses $3.7 billion a year because students are not learning basic needed skills, including $1.4 billion to provide remedial education for students who have recently completed high school.
"From taxpayers' standpoint, remediation is paying for the same education twice," Wise said.
Students who need remedial classes are also more likely to drop out: Those taking any remedial reading, for example, had a 17 percent chance of completing a bachelor's degree, according to 2004 Education Department data.

MORE than 60 avid remote-
controlled aircraft hobbyists had a wonderful time during their annual fun fly activity in Batu Kawan, south Seberang Prai.
The event, organised by the Penang Eagle RC Flying Club, kicked off at about 8.15am with a briefing session for out-of-state enthusiasts.
The participants from Penang, Kedah, Perak, Kuala Lumpur, Australia, Thailand and Japan then gathered at an open space area near the Batu Kawan Stadium which was used as the take-off and landing strip for their planes.
Club president Robert Teoh said the event was divided into two categories comprising beginner manoeuvres and expert manoeuvres.
The recent event drew a large crowd of spectators who braved the hot sun to watch the model planes and helicopters in action.
The highlights of the event were acrobatic shows and competitions including spot landing, drag race and upside-down quarter copter flying.
There were also several para-motor flying demonstrations and even turbine jet engine planes
that thrilled the crowd as they roared overhead at tremendous speed.
Club vice-president Dallan Low said the club was formed in 2011 and currently had 28 members.
He said among the remote-
controlled aircraft that took part in the event were single wing propeller planes and biplanes, helicopter, turbine-powered jets and gliders.
"Judging by the response of the audience, the event can be considered a success," he said.
However, remote-controlled aircraft are expensive and the hobby can be time-consuming too.
But for enthusiasts, price is not an issue when it comes to fulfilling their dreams of flying an aircraft, even though it's only a model.
Low said: "The price of a remote-

June is Dairy Month, so we are thrilled to introduce Marie
Ditzenberger as our Farm Gal for the month! She comes from
Monticello, WI from Mar-Reyz Ditzy Dairy. It is a 220 acre farm
with about 170 acres of tillable acreage that is used to primarily
grow corn, alfalfa and grass hay. You may recognize the name
as we have used her photos before on our Facebook page. We are big
fans of Marie and everything she does for the dairy industry in
Wisconsin. And so, for the month of June, we want to share her
amazing story.
She started the farm with her first husband and her parents in
1996. After her first husband passed in 2000, she ran the farm
pretty much on her own, which is very impressive. Since her dad had
taken on an over-the-road trucking job and her mom was working in
town, she bravely handled the farm solo. Her parents bought
machinery from a guy named Jeff Ditzenberger, who stopped out one
day and helped fix a few things in 2001…and he kind of stuck
around. Long story short, Marie bought out her parents in the
beginning of 2002 and married Jeff that August.
In April of 2002, they had sold half of the Holstein herd, and
in March of 2003 traded the rest of our heifers. They bought a herd
of Jersey cows, which brought them to about 50 total. Now they have
200 head of primarily Jersey, Holstein/Jersey crosses and Normande
dairy cattle. They typically sell all of their bull calves
and raise all of their own replacement heifers.
This family is more than just the farm. When Marie and Jeff got
married, she always said "I came with the cattle, he came with the
kids…I have two step children, daughter Harleigh, 17 and son
Parker, 16." Harleigh works off the farm and Parker is very
interested in the crop production and machinery. And while he
doesn't really like milking, Parker is very good with the
Sharing the farm with her family was common sense. Marie says,
"I grew up on a farm, loved the animals and being outside. I was
also very involved with FFA in school and would rather be with my
cattle as opposed to people. I worked in town for extra money
and to get a taste of the world outside the farm, but I was always
most happy on the farm. I guess you could say it was in my
Marie is on the farm all of the time. Her day starts at 5 am and
often times doesn't end until 8 pm or later. She works 7 days a
week, 365 days a year. Milking and feeding cows, feeding
babies, cleaning up, mixing feed, feeding young stock. And repeat.
"That's my day job." Marie has a lot to like on the farm, "seeing
the sunrises and sunsets, being with all the baby animals and
watching them grow. Spending time with the cows and milking,
witnessing the crops growing and knowing I am doing a small part to
help feed the world population. I love spending time in my garden
and playing with our dogs, and Jeff and I both get a lot of
enjoyment out of watching the chickens chase bugs and scratch at
the dirt…..(except when that dirt is my garden or numerous flower
beds). I also get to vary most of my day however I see fit as
long as the cows get milked on the proper schedule. Everyday
has its different challenges and even though not everything goes
smoothly every day, I am always satisfied with a job well
done. There are countless miracles out here and I cherish
that." Those are words to live by. Being a farmer is not easy, but
the rewards are great.
For Marie, being a woman in ag is a challenge, but one that has
its perks. "It's been proven that women have a tendency to be
better milkers and are usually more patient with the animals. I
think the natural nurturing attitude helps with the raising of
young stock. And balance…..it's an interesting line between taking
care of everything outside and still taking care of house and home
life. It's crazy sometimes, but in the end, well worth it." It
takes skills to keep a farm and a family going, but we can tell
Marie has it down to a science.
On finding a woman's place on the farm, Marie said we have some
ways to go on acceptance. "I think times are changing and while
women are being accepted into agriculture now in a more positive
light, it's not without its challenges, especially in
"non-traditional" roles. There are still numerous sales people that
show up at the farm that don't take me seriously and still ask for
dad, my husband, or the boss man. That attitude has to go
away. However, I think also that women in production
agriculture have to assert themselves in a positive manner and be
positive role models for our youth. I believe going into the
future, women are ready to take on the challenges facing them in
agriculture and will do a great job at it." We applaud Marie (and
Jeff) on everything they do every day to make the ag industry a
success and especially Marie for giving women dairy farmers a good

Romance By You, For You
Thanks to my friend Emily, I've just discovered Romance By You, a service that allows you to insert your name, love interest's name, and sundry personal details into a romance novel. I've spent all day putting everyone's names I can think of into bodice-rippers about werewolves, detectives, werewolf detectives, pirates, vampires, ER doctors, and medieval knights.
Here's how it works, at least for the free excerpts: You're prompted to enter the heroine's name, hair color, eye color, sometimes the name of a female friend or pet, the hero's name, and sometimes his hair or eye color or build. Then it provides you with something like this:
Huxley sighed. He longed to go to Eartha Kitteh, to comfort her, to caress her, but he could not, and so he remained outside, just below her window, watching and listening. He thought of her silky brown hair and dancing blue eyes. His mouth filled with the bittersweet taste of longing.
Only much longer, and often a bit sexier, but I used my dog's name and Emily's cat's name and I didn't want it to get too gross.
That's just the free preview, though. Surely, once you shell out the money for an actual book, you're allowed to personalize it more. Here are some passages I've put together for your use.
"It's all yours now, my love," he intoned, gazing fondly at her [hair texture] [hair color] hair. "For I am an oil baron, and you shall be my wife. That is, if your father [father's name] will grant his blessing for me to marry you on you family's estate at [hometown]."
"I must be getting over-tired," she reasoned, putting the evidence she was considering down on the [material of woman's coffee table] coffee table and deciding instead to have a drink of [preferred liquor or liquor alternative]. Very quickly, though, she realized she was being watched. Lord [man's name] stepped out of the shadows, his [eye color] eyes ablaze, and the case was forgotten as she felt her heart beat at [rate 20 percent higher than normal resting heart rate].
"No, no," breathed [man's name], slowly undoing the [appropriate fastener types] of her [favorite item of clothing to wear on top half] and pushing her down on the [duvet color] duvet. "You're not half so innocent as you seem. Don't forget, we've shared everything with each other. I know all about the time you [early, vaguely embarrassing sexual experience] with [half-forgotten high school classmate]. I even know how much you like [woman's preferred sexual position or kink, shared with man after three shots of tequila and a hit off the hostess's joint].

Will "The Flash's" Season Finale Send [Spoilers] To Prison?
TV, Comic Books
From the Vertigo Panel coverage at CBR:
"One of the things I'm always asked at conventions," said Stewart, "is when is the next Seaguy." Stewart said that he's been asked that question for five years, and now both "Seaguy 2: Slaves of Mickey Eye" and "Seaguy 3: Eternal," will be out soon.
This is followed by the announcement that Sean Murphy, a young artist who I dig a lot (here is his website), is going to be the artist on Morrison's upcoming Warcop series.
To quote Dr. Sam Beckett, "Oh boy!"
Sounds like fun (I like that he's already done most of the mini-series), but can't say that I am a fan of Onomatopoeia.
Then again, it could be Batman fighting Constantine Drakon, so I should just count my blessings, eh?
As you can tell by the exclamation mark, I am quite pumped about this one!
Chris Arrant at Newsarama has a good interview with Grell (that's where the image comes from).
In the interview, Grell first explained that it was meant to be a mini-series to celebrate the 35th Anniversary of Warlord, but soon was given the green-light as an ongoing series!
I wonder if perhaps a series of mini-series would be better here, too, but whatever, man, it's Grell back doing Warlord! Woohoo!!
I know I recently gave Supergirl a hard time for having ANOTHER new creative team, but I have to say, the idea of getting a Geoff Johns protege to write the book and then have the book basically tie directly with Superman?
That's a smart idea.
Has Supergirl's title EVER been this tied to the main Superman titles? Ever?
That's how IDW described the concept of Larry Hama being behind the G.I.Joe reboot for the new IDW ongoing series.
Well, would anyone actually want that?
Remember Just Imagine Stan Lee?
I'd have stressed instead the fact that Hama's recent G.I.Joe work has been just as good, if not better, than his old work, so you have a guy whose famous for creating a title AND has been doing good recent work on the title (G.I.Joe: Declassified was really quite good).
I wasn't much a fan of Hama's Spooks, but his recent G.I. Joe work still has me looking forward to this series.
If it weren't for that pesky Neil guy, Andy Diggle becoming the new Thunderbolts writer would be the coolest news of the Comic Con for me, personally, as Ellis' Thunderbolts was a really great book, so I was fearing the worst with his departure, and Andy Diggle is one of the few writers out there that is not much of a step down from Warren Ellis (whose Thunderbolts run was great).
At the same time, I remember a few years ago, when the signs all seemed to be pointing to Diggle being the next DC writer to make the move to Marvel, but then he stayed at DC, instead – and promptly did basically nothing of note (I mean, don't get me wrong, I have really enjoyed his Hellblazer work and I absolutely adored his Green Arrow: Year One mini-series, but he did not exactly have a ton of major projects that would make you say, "Ah, so THAT'S why he stayed!")!!
So while it's a few years later then one would think, he's at Marvel now, and I can't wait to see what he has up his sleeves for the Thunderbolts. I just hope Songbird isn't screwed!!
On the one hand, Marvel has certainly given the Agents of Atlas a real slow burn, by having them make guest appearances in a number of books in back of their critically-acclaimed (it was critically acclaimed, right? I mean, I liked it, but I forget if other people did or not) original mini-series, so the news that the series is being given an ongoing (written by the great Jeff Parker, but sans original artist Leonard Kirk, who is on the great Captain Britain book right now) is not, like, totally out of left field.
That said, I think a series of mini-series would fit the concept better than an ongoing, and if the mini-series do real well, THEN I can see an ongoing.
I just hope that if the sales aren't there, it won't affect seeing them in future mini-series and one-shots.
And, of course, I naturally hope that the sales ARE there, as I'm looking forward to the book.
Wouldn't it be funny if this series mostly just reversed the whole "the Rogues blast Bart Allen and then kick him to death" story (I see Johns is already sorta addressing the silliness in Rogue's Revenge)?
What's the current record for shortest time before a story came out to explain away a previous story? How long after Avengers #200 was Avengers Annual #10?
Gotta give Van Sciver props – that's a neat cover.
Well, just recently, I did a "Top Five Ultimate Trades" list, and I gave four of the five spots to Millar's Ultimate work, so you know I was pleased when it was announced that he would be returning to the Ultimate Universe.
He seems to really "get" the concept of the Ultimate universe better than most other writers (perhaps even Bendis, whose work on Ultimate Spider-Man, as a whole, has been awesome).
See, now THIS one I am less wary over. Newsarama has a good interview with J. Michael Straczynski where he discusses the move (that's where this neat promo image came from, as well!).
The Archie heroes are fine heroes, in and of themselves, but unlike the Milestone heroes, they're not tied to one specific universe, as already noted by the !mpact experiment of the early 90s (which had some really good comics, notably the Black Hood and Waid's The Comet), so they're basically blank slates for Straczynski to attempt to work some magic on.
I'm looking forward to their usage in The Brave and the Bold. It sucks that he's able to get the usage of characters from a whole other comic book company, but can't use Vertigo character. Feh, I say! FEH!
By the by, who drew the promo piece? Is that Joe Bennett?
(I apologize for the multitude of posts, but I like to wait until San Diego Comic-Con is over before I sort out the news that strikes me most interesting, and I don't think a catch-all entry is cool with so many disparate stories)
Talk about a mixed reaction! On the one hand, I am a huge fan of Milestone Comics, so I am thrilled to hear that DC was able to work out a deal to bring the Milestone characters back to the world of comics. And with Milestone founder Dwayne McDuffie directly involved, to boot!!
THAT SAID, mixing them into the DC Universe?
Boy, am I wary about that.
Don't get me wrong, a bunch of the Milestone characters should be able to mix into the DC Universe without a real problem, with Static being the most notable example – his shtick works in any universe. The same goes, I would say, for Icon and Rocket.
But Blood Syndicate? Hardware? Holocaust? The Shadow Cabinet? These are concepts that scream out "isolated universe," much like the Marvel Family (who have never really been adequately integrated into the DC Universe, despite Jerry Ordway doing yeoman work for years to make the square peg fit into the round hole).
So I fear that some of the unique characters will lose their uniqueness a bit, but in the end, it is a return to comics of some great characters, so really, it's a secondary issue – Static is back! Woohoo!
Spoiler warning! Continue Reading »
Okay, so I'm reading about the whole situation where the band, Fall Out Boy, is no longer interested in doing a comic book by the Dabel Bros. since the lawyers from the Simpsons got involved over the use of the name "Fall Out Boy" (who is a character from the Simpsons, and while not a registered trademark, certainly is a trademark of the Simpsons).
Now, I get that the Dabel Bros. are pissed off because they had a contract from the band to do the comic, and since the Simpsons' legal team got involved, the band has cooled off, interest-wise (it seems to me like they want to cause as little ruffles with the Simpsons as possible, because they understand as well as anyone that they're using a trademarked name).
However, according to the Dabel Bros., the comic CAN proceed, it just can not use the name "Fall Out Boy" as a title (or for advertising). They quote the Simpsons' lawyers as saying, "Our sole interest is that the name "Fall Out Boy", the related Simpsons images and any references to The Simpsons not appear in any of your publications."
Well, okay, but while I certainly feel for the Dabel Bros. here – who exactly is interested in reading a Fall Out Boy comic where you can't use the name Fall Out Boy in the comic book?
I'm not saying the Dabel Bros. don't have rights here, but I wonder whether they're really worth enforcing. How well would a comic about Fall Out Boy, without the support OF Fall Out Boy and not even CALLED Fall Out Boy sell?
I do not know if the current Daredevil arc is a response to some of the criticisms levied at this title lately, or if it was just a matter of the creative team realizing beforehand where criticism might end up coming,so they decided to address it themselves – either way, the end result is a great arc so far by Ed Brubaker and co-writer, Greg Rucka, where the pair add a bit less dreariness to the life of Matt Murdock.
Throughout the latest issue, various characters all remark on how depressing and dreary Matt's life has been lately (as he has gone through the wringer, including losing his wife to the machinations of Mr. Fear). As the characters speak, it is almost as if they are teasing the book itself – "Come on, enough with the moping, do something productive!"
And in this storyline, it is about Matt clearing the name of a thug who is on Death Row for decapitating three children, but Matt and Dakota North (who Brubaker has turned from a character only my pal Matt Bib loved to a character most folks, I am sure, have grown fond of) believe he is innocent, of this particular crime, that is (thanks to his senses, Matt probably KNOWS otherwise, but that's beside the point).
Who is he protecting? Who is working with the bad guys? What are they trying to hide? How do you save a man who wants to die?
All these questions and more are raised in the latest issue, and once you couple it with the routinely excellent artwork of Michael Lark and Stefano Gaudiano, you have yourself a good comic book. Well worth giving a look see!

Baby Eggplant with Harissa and Mint
*Harissa is available at specialty and Middle Eastern food markets.
Score the cut sides of the eggplants lightly into a crosshatch pattern. In a bowl, whisk together the olive oil, mint, harissa, lemon juice, salt, and pepper to taste. Lay eggplants on a platter, cut sides up, and brush them with harissa mixture. Let eggplants sit at room temperature for 30 minutes to 1 hour. Preheat the grill.
Lay eggplants cut sides down on the grill, turning when cut sides are well browned, and cook until completely tender, about 12 to 15 minutes.
Drizzle eggplants with a little olive oil, season with salt and pepper to taste, and sprinkle with additional chopped mint. Serve hot or at room temperature and garnish with lemon wedges.
(Note: The eggplant can also be cooked in the oven under the broiler. Once cooked, the eggplant can be puréed to make a wonderful dip.)

NEW DELHI Saying their crime shocked the conscience of India, the prosecutor in the fatal New Delhi gang rape called Wednesday for all four convicted rapists to be hanged, while one of the defendants shouted out his innocence as police drove him into the courthouse.
It was not clear which of the four men was shouting, because his face was obscured behind the police van's heavy metal mesh, but he repeatedly called out, "I am innocent! I am innocent!" as the van drove past a scrum of reporters.
The men were convicted Tuesday in the December gang rape of a 23-year-old woman on a moving New Delhi bus, a brutal crime that unleashed a wave of public anger over the treatment of Indian women and a long-unspoken epidemic of sexual violence. The victim died two weeks after the attack.
The four face either life imprisonment or death by hanging. Calls for the men to be executed have grown increasingly loud, with everyone from the victim's parents to top political leaders demanding the men be sentenced to death.
Prosecutor Dayan Krishnan said the attack shocked India's "collective conscience," noting the police report showed the men pulled out some of the victim's body parts after savagely penetrating her with an iron rod.
"There can be nothing more diabolic than a helpless girl put through torture," he said.
Judge Yogesh Khanna said he would hand down the sentences on Friday.
The four men sat in in the back of the tiny courtroom in T-shirts or short-sleeved polo shirts, unshackled and with policemen holding them from both sides. They appeared impassive, though it was not clear how much they understood of the proceedings. Most of the day's arguments were in English, a language that only one of the men, Vinay Sharma, is able to speak. They had no translator.
The defense lawyers have long proclaimed their clients' innocence, while sometimes indicating some of the men may have been on the bus. They insist that any confessions were coerced by police torture.
On Wednesday, they called for the judge to avoid the death penalty.
"If they have committed a mistake, and the court accepted that they committed a mistake, then they should be given a chance to reform," lawyer A.P. Singh, who has worked with all the defendants at various times, said outside the courthouse. "The accused are not habitual and professional criminals. They should be given one chance to reform themselves."
Vivek Sharma, a lawyer representing Pawan Gupta, a 19-year-old fruit vendor, asked for a sentence of life imprisonment, noting that Indian law calls for execution only in very exceptional cases.
Sharma said Wednesday the crime may have happened "on the spur of the moment" and urged leniency for his client because of his age and because he had to support his impoverished family. He said Gupta did not join in the rape or in violating the victim with the rod.
The family of the victim watched from one row in front of the prisoners, close enough to touch one another.
When the hearing ended, they again called for the men to be hanged.
"They finished our daughter," said the father, who cannot be named under Indian laws guarding his daughter's identity as a rape victim. "We want them finished."
An airport baggage handler who makes a little more than $200 a month, he and his wife had broken with the conservative rural culture in which they had been raised, encouraging their daughter to study hard and even leave home to get a degree in physiotherapy. At the time of the attack, she was awaiting her exam results.

Monday was the day hundreds of kids got to put all their hard work on display during the Coastal Plains Junior Livestock competition.
One-hundred and fifty kids from ten different counties in eastern Carolina brought their prized animals to the Lenoir County Livestock arena for a day of shows Monday.
While organizers say everybody wants to be the grand champion, the competition teaches them about responsibility and gets them outside. Miriam lewis, event organizer says, "It lets them work with agriculture and build confidence and a good opportunity for them to appreciate how much it takes to be a part of agriculture."
The show is a two day event continuing Tuesday when the animals will actually be sold.
