King Lear
by William Shakespeare
King Lear Act 5, Scene 2 Summary
- Edgar still hasn't told his father who he really is. But he has decided to fight in the battle on the side of Lear and Cordelia.
- He stashes Gloucester beside a tree and tells him to hang out until the battle is over. Then he runs offstage.
- Edgar runs back onstage and informs his father that Lear and Cordelia have lost the battle. (What? You were expecting something else from Shakespeare's greatest tragedy? Now would be a good time to prepare yourself, because it gets a whole lot worse.)
- Predictably enough, Gloucester starts talking about suicide once more. Edgar tells him to cheer up and leads him offstage.

Background. The Molecular Adsorbent Recirculating System (MARS) has been shown to clear albumin-bound toxins from patients with liver failure but might cause bleeding complications potentially obscuring survival benefits. We hypothesized that monitoring clotting parameters and bed-side thromboelastography allows to reduce bleeding complications. Methods. Retrospective analysis of 25 MARS sessions during which clotting parameters were monitored by a standardized protocol. Results. During MARS therapy median INR increased significantly from 1.7 to 1.9 platelet count and fibrinogen content decreased significantly from 57 fL(-1) to 42 fL(-1) and 2.1 g/L to 1.5 g/L. Nine relevant complications occurred: the MARS system clotted 6 times 3 times we observed hemorrhages. Absent thrombocytopenia and elevated plasma fibrinogen predicted clotting of the MARS system (ROC 0.94 and 0.82). Fibrinolysis, detected by thromboelastography, uniquely predicted bleeding events. Conclusion. Bed-side thromboelastography and close monitoring of coagulation parameters can predict and, therefore, help prevent bleeding complications during MARS therapy.

LORAIN — Flood-prone Martin's Run Creek will get dredged, but less than Lorain officials want.
City Council members at their Monday meeting approved seeking bids of up to $75,000 to dredge the waterway, which runs south of Tower Boulevard along state Route 2 draining into Lake Erie.
However, Lorain officials said the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency is limiting dredging due to concerns about excavating aquatic life. City officials had planned to spend up to $2 million for a 3.5-mile project.
It would dredge three feet of sediment and silt between West 35th Street and Oberlin Avenue that has built up in the 12-foot by six-foot culvert since it was completed in 1995. A $2 per month sewer rate increase that took effect in 2013, raising $528,000 annually, was approved to help pay for dredging.
However, City Engineer Dale Vandersommen said after the meeting that just six inches to a foot will be dredged due to concerns raised by an EPA biologist last month. "Our plan is to dredge out as much as the EPA will let us," he said.
Linda Oros, an EPA spokeswoman, didn't return a call and email Tuesday. Vandersommen and Mayor Chase Ritenauer said they plan to meet with county officials to discuss building retention ponds inside and outside Lorain to alleviate flooding. Ritenauer told Council members that a collaborative retention approach is needed.
"Stormwater, as we all know, is not just a city problem," he said. "It's a regional problem."
Ritenauer said the EPA wants upstream retention, and Lorain is considering a retention pond in Willow Park on Oberlin. Ritenauer said a three-phase approach is planned involving dredging, retention and widening the waterway.
Safety/Service Director Robert Fowler said Phase I involves dredging from West 39th Street and Oberlin to West 44th Street, where flooding occurs frequently. Phase II involves building retention ponds in and outside Lorain.
Phase III would involve widening the creek. Vandersommen said that could be problematic because homes are built near the creek, meaning Lorain would have to purchase properties.
Councilman Dan Given, D-at large, said he understood the need to prevent flooding, but expressed concern that the scaled-back approach might worsen flooding in some areas. Given got language added to the approval ordinance limiting bid awards to $75,000 until Council has more specifics.
Ritenauer said he hopes bid approval and the commitment to retention will send a positive message to the EPA.
"I just want to move forward with looking at the phasing of this so we can try to get something done," he said.

There are as many schools of thought as to how best choose children's books as there are schools. The two that come to mind first are these:
- Children should read only the best authors writing the best works.
- Well, as long as they're reading something!
Both of these ideas are beneficial, but there are many benefits to ensuring your homeschooled child is reading the best that he can. What your child is reading is inevitably going to come out of his mouth or his pencil. What do you want to get back from him? What does his future employers want to see? Remember, we're educating tomorrow's adults.
For instance, a book from a series aimed at second-graders, called "Junie B. Jones" -it has sentences starting with conjunctions all over the place. It has fragments on every page. It has adjectives like "bestest." It frequently says "me and her" etc. It says dumb, stupid, darn it, meanie, what the heck, etc. which I personally think should not be encouraged in second-graders.
By comparison, classical literature for this age group includes the Velveteen Rabbit by Margery Williams. The first five sentences in The Velveteen Rabbit had an average of 29.2 words in each sentence. The first five sentences of Junie B. Jones and her Big Fat Mouth had an average of 5.4 words per sentence.
An example of one of the more complex sentences which I found in JBJ & her Big Fat Mouth was "Eating things that you find on the ground is very, very dangerous."
Look how this sentence from the Velveteen Rabbit teaches the meaning of the word 'superior:'
"The mechanical toys were very superior, and looked down upon every one else; they were full of modern ideas, and pretended they were real."
JBJ is so full of incorrect grammar and simple sentences because it is written from the point of view of a first-grader, who would actually speak like that (unfortunately). However, there are quite a few older books, written in a different time, from the point of view of a five-year-old (for instance, Heidi, the Little House series) They are much preferred to modern books written for our young people. The local Half-Price Books have a great selection of abridged classics.
My challenge to you is to take some of your good-condition books down and donate them to the Half-Pint Library Book Drive. All the area Half-Price Books are collecting books which will be given to families with children in need. Then, while you're there, pick up some of the classics for your young reader. Did you know Half-Price Books offers a 10% discount educator's card to homeschoolers?
Charlotte Mason emphasized very strongly the use of "whole books" instead of readers. In public schools today, segments of books are printed in textbooks with summary questions at the end. The publisher chops the most exciting or pertinent portions of a work out, puts it in the textbook, and asks directed questions which can be answered by that portion. Then we wonder later why kids can't dig through a whole book and find themes when it is not spelled out to them!

The Top Energy-Saving Air Conditioners: Our Contractors Decide
From Engineering on May 17, 2011 in Air Conditioning & Heating
It should come as no surprise to you that we're picky about our contractors. CalFinder ensures accreditation on multiple levels before certifying pros, and expects that they, in turn, are selective in choosing remodeling products and equipment for your home.
But to what extent? I decided to do a little digging and find out which air conditioning and heating brands our contractors use most, and why. After all, the better the system, the more cash saved on energy bills.
To see how much it costs to upgrade your own air conditioning system, click here.
The Most Sought-After Air Conditioners
Thirty-two interviews later, I discovered that our major HVAC installers generally use two brands, Trane and Kenmore, with Lennox and Carrier coming in third and fourth. Here's the data breakdown:
- Trane = 34%
- Kenmore = 32%
- Lennox = 17%
- Carrier = 12%
- Other/Unspecified = 5%
So what makes Trane air conditioners so sought-after? Two words: energy savings.
As one HVAC installer in Phoenix, Arizona put it, "It's the Energy Star effect." Most Trane air conditioning systems boast the Energy Star label, or the government seal qualfying those products for federal cash rebates. Homeowners take one look and immediately see dollar signs, especially in a city like Phoenix, where air conditioners are a necessity.
By choosing Energy Star, CalFinder contractors offer systems that cut energy use and return a federal rebate at the same time. In fact, if you install Energy Star HVAC this year, you can earn up to $500 back from the government. It's a win-win all around.
The Higher the SEER Rating, the Better the Savings
In addition, I found that SEER ratings on Trane air conditioners exceed the industry standard. Not sure what that means? SEER ratings are simply a government-mandated scale for measuring efficiency.
Since January, 2006, the Department of Energy has required that all new HVAC systems achieve a SEER rating of 13 or above. Since they all meet this standard, Trane matched air conditioning systems save 38-59% more on your energy bills than older units, which typically run on poor efficiences of 10 or below.
That doesn't mean you need to run out and purchase the highest 19.5 SEER-rated air conditioner you can find. But if you did, your payback would be surprisingly quick. Highly rated systems cost more upfront, but then pay for themselves in a few years.
Which HVAC Systems Qualify for Rebates?
If you're upgrading your HVAC, it's important to know exactly what you're looking for. Let's break it down.
- Split system air conditioner and heat pump units with a SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio) of 14 or above
- Split system air conditioner and heat pump units with HSPF (Heating Seasonal Performance Factor) of 8.0 or above
- Gas furnaces with am AFUE (Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency) of 90% or above
Note that CalFinder contractors will help you determine the proper-sized system for your home, as well as how to apply for rebates. Get in touch for a cost estimate by clicking here, and enjoy your air conditioning this summer.

"The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" star Brandi Glanville seems to be facing some tough criticism in the press lately. Her co-stars are upset with what comes out of her mouth and her fans seem to be shocked at the comments she is making about new housewife, Joyce Giraud. Even her friends Yolanda Foster and Lisa Vanderpump are distancing themselves from her. But it sounds like Brandi's publicist is also trying to change how she is perceived. According to a new Wetpaint Entertainment report published on Jan. 3, "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" star Brandi Glanville's publicist went on her Twitter to delete a picture she posted.
This week, Brandi shared a picture of herself with a rather provocative theme. Her PR team quickly asked her to take it down. But Brandi didn't agree and kept it up. Yet, the picture was deleted. "I didn't delete it — my publicist did," Brandi revealed about the missing photo. "I happen to have liked it. My Miley moment — I'm going to put it back up."
The picture showed off a choker and lots of cleavage. "It was from yesterday afternoon — notice the daylight in the back," she explains. "I was doing my video blogs for NW mag." Perhaps she was just trying to be sexy or give her best Miley Cyrus themed picture.
What do you think of her publicist going in and doing damage control?

Joe Henderson: Inner Urge
Inner Urge
Joe Henderson (tenor sax)
Inner Urge (Blue Note 84189)
Joe Henderson (tenor sax), McCoy Tyner (piano), Bob Cranshaw (bass), Elvin Jones (drums).
Recorded: Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey, November 30, 1964
Rating: 95/100 (learn more)
"Inner Urge" is a hard-swinging vehicle for a torrid blowing session. Joe Henderson lined up Coltrane's pianist and drummer (as well as Rollins's bass player) to back him, just nine days before Trane's two sidemen joined their boss (and bassist Jimmy Garrison) to record A Love Supreme. Clearly Henderson was seriously intent on showing he could measure up to two of his primary tenor influences, and doesn't disappoint.
Henderson's two solos here are extended, but he keeps things flowing by liberally mixing pleasantly tuneful passages with exciting, turbulent ones. Cranshaw and Tyner also sparkle during their turns. Elvin Jones, however, nearly steals the show with peerless, thunderous polyrhythms that rank among his better drum solos on record.
As a supremely confident saxophonist already running out of things to prove at this stage, Henderson again upped the ante with "Inner Urge."

I have a headless Ubuntu Server 11.04 box. If I use:
sudo shutdown -P now
It works every time. However, if I instead want to simply restart the machine:
sudo shutdown -r now
It fails to do so. Here's a screenshot of what I get when I attempt to shutdown with restart (couldn't figure out which log to get this from). It simply spits this out on the screen and then doesn't progress any further. I have to hold the power button in to turn the machine off after this:
Can anyone surmise what might be the problem here? Or perhaps provide some guidance as to how I might diagnose this?

It has been said for centuries and in several cultures that abstinence from sex is beneficial before a match. Research now shows that this may be a myth perpetuated by thousands of deviated madmen hell bent on the total domination of their fighters' mental state.
The strategy behind abstinence is readily apparent. Heightened testosterone levels lead to aggressive behavior in most males. If something is taken away from somebody that they really like, and then they are told they can have it back after they fight, they will probably fight harder.
What may not be as readily apparent is effect as it relates to loss of qi. Spermatozoa are stored in a kind of suspended animation. They are energized during orgasm and spring to life for a short period of time. Energizing millions of cells takes some energy, quite a bit as a matter of fact.

"Our data suggest that it is justified to dismiss the view that sexual intercourse decreases maximal exercise performance," says Professor Tommy Boone.
Running on a tread mill versus Georges St Pierre trying to remove your head is the equivalent to taking an ass to a thorough bred horse race. There quite simply was not enough of a study done to make such a bold statement.
The fact is that there are many factors going into the reason behind the reasoning for not doing "it" before a champion competes. Marty Liquori, a top 5,000 meter runner sums things up best when he said "Sex makes you happy and happy people don't run a 3:47 mile".

SCOTTIE RAY BUNCH, 42, and Ellen Ortiz, 54, have been living together in the woods just west of S.R. A1A in Ponte Vedra Beach since April. Bunch suffers from seizures after being hit by a truck while riding his bike. He came to the woods because he can not work laying carpet due to the accident.
By JUSTIN YURKANIN, Staff Scottie Ray Bunch and Ellen Ortiz look just like any happy couple, showing off their dog and their kittens and offering tacos they just made to their guests.
They have many of the amenities of home. Carpet on the floor, a bed, a stove, chairs, a stuffed animal. And they live just around the corner from one of the most pricey neighborhoods in America.
If only they had a roof.
Their home is a transient camp in the woods for about 30 people in Ponte Vedra Beach near the Duval County line.
"We like it here because we have the city life of Jacksonville and the beach life of Ponte Vedra," Bunch said of their camp.
click photo to enlarge
Johnny Allen ties a rope to secure a tarp over his tent at a homeless camp in the woods just outside of Marsh Landing Country Club in Ponte Vedra Beach Friday afternoon. Allen, originally from West Virginia, came to Florida for the beach. The camp is less than a mile away from million dollar homes, but is allowed to remain because police receive no complaints. Deputies who regularly patrol the county for homeless camps say that many residents do not know theses camps exist in the woods, but often 50-100 people can inhabit them.
By JUSTIN YURKANIN, Staff
The community of drifters is living on an acre of land. It's less than a half mile from Marsh Landing and its million-dollar mansions. Condominiums back directly up to the camp.
Only a bright orange grocery cart turned on its side marks the path to the camp. Otherwise, passing the woods from the road, there are no signs of the small town it holds.
"Ninety-nine percent of the Ponte Vedra population doesn't know they're there," said St. Johns County Sheriff's Deputy Rich McHaux. "(Ponte Vedra residents) would flip if they saw this camp."
This is one of more than 15 transient camps in the county, estimate McHaux and his partner, Deputy Mike Plott.
McHaux believes this is the only camp in Ponte Vedra. Most of the others are in or near St. Augustine. One is behind the Cobblestone Shopping Center on State Road 312 and others are off S.R. 16 and Lewis Speedway, he said.

"I think people see transients and turn a blind eye," McHaux said. "Unless transients are bothering them, they don't ever notice them."
Life as a hobo
Bunch, 42, and his girlfriend, Ortiz, 54, have been together since April and consider themselves married.
Before the couple came to the camp two and a half months ago, Bunch worked as a carpet layer. They lived in a mobile home in Jacksonville. Bunch said he was hit by an 18-wheeler and began to suffer up to 10 seizures a day. He was forced to quit his job, he said.
This is the seventh time in 18 years Bunch has lived in this Ponte Vedra camp. Ortiz didn't divulge much about her past.

Dirt sits underneath the fingernails of Scottie Ray Bunch.
By JUSTIN YURKANIN, Staff
"Before I met (Ortiz) I was a hobo," Bunch said. "I've been to 90 camps from here to West Virginia."
Bunch got around by jumping trains and hitching rides with truckers.
"You go to a truck stop and have them get on the radio and ask if anyone can take you," Bunch said. "Someone will pick you up."
The couple's own corner of the camp resembles a living room lacking a roof, making it clear that they have the most valuables at the camp.
"We'll give the others some of our food. That way they won't come back here and steal anything," Bunch said.

They played with their large puppy, named Dammit, which is a running joke in the camp.
"You get to say, 'Come here, Dammit! Dammit, stop barking," Ortiz said, laughing. "He doesn't bark too much. He's a good boy."
The camp is spotted with tarps tied to trees. In the center is a large mound where they light fires to ward off mosquitoes.
The perimeter is lined with mountains of beer cans, mostly Natural Light, their beer of choice.
"We like to drink," Bunch said. "We're pretty much a family, but sometimes some people get drunk and fight."
Large pieces of plastic and glass are strewn throughout camp.
The stench of trash cooking in the hot sun mixes with the stink of human waste wafting over the area. The designated bathroom is a 5-foot-square area of piles of leaves a few yards from where the transients sleep.
The camp members bathe in the ocean or buy water to pour over themselves.
They all are covered with oozing wounds they believe are caused by spider bites. Large banana spider webs loom in trees all over the camp.
Enforcer keeps the peace
The transients have their own stories and personalities, such as Jimbo, 44, who calls himself the sergeant at arms. He's been at the camp for six months and worked at a kennel before he came here.
"I'm the enforcer," he said. "I protect the girls and keep drug creeps out of here."
Jimbo stands next to his friend, Johnny Allen. Both of their bare, muscular chests show scars that tell stories of stabbings, shootings and open heart surgery.
"I'm looking to get out of here," Jimbo said. "I don't want to be here my whole life."
Allen sparks a cigarette with a lighter that says "Git R Done" when you depress it and plays with his kittens named Billy the Kid and Jesse James.
"We look after each other here," he said. "It's like a family."
Although the camp sits on an acre, about half of it resembles a landfill. The debris ranges from old air conditioners to TVs, mattresses and shopping carts.
"It gets so bad from human waste and trash that they just keep moving to another area," Plott said. "The amount of damage they do to property is incredible."
Plott and McHaux notify property owners that transients are living on their land.
"Most of them have no idea it's going on and they ask us to remove them," McHaux said. "If they aren't bothering anyone, I feel bad about moving them."
Thanking God for a home
Although Ortiz and Bunch's situation seems bleak at the Ponte Vedra camp, they are so down to earth they make an outsider almost forget you aren't standing in their living room. There are fresh groceries, baskets covered with shells serving as table decorations and make-shift cages for their pets.
"You just missed tacos. You could have eaten with us if you came earlier," Ortiz said.
She added, "This is just temporary for us."
Ortiz hopes her parents will pick up her and Bunch soon to live with them in Green Cove Springs. But until then, the camp is home.
"I thank God we got this place," she said. "Right now we don't have anywhere else to go."

Film, Comic Books
Marvel's April solicits have been up for so long that May is coming up, well, now, so let's hurry and make some prejudgments based just on the covers (as we all love to make prejudgments, don't we?).
Let's begin!
Wow, Dave Finch is drawing a pretty damn big cover series here!
Is it going to last 12 issues?
That'd be remarkable.
Seeing the Hellfire guards that Wolverine killed reminds me – I think it was pretty clever of Claremont to bring them back as the Reavers. That's the sort of continuity I dig – it was a nice touch for those people who remembered them, and totally unnecessary knowledge for any who didn't remember them.
Ron Garney takes a commanding lead with this stylized cover featuring Mystique's ass.
It's not just me, Ron Garney has changed his style, right? It's more similar to when he was doing Ghost Rider, as compared to the style he used on Amazing Spider-Man (and Captain America and the Justice League).
Ariel Olivetti cannot counter, with this cover, although impressively, his Cable appears to feature fairly normal proportions, which is nice.
And Bishop does look kinda cool, even if the whole "Bishop as a bad guy" riff is lame.
You've lost me, Clayton Crain – that does not look like Wolfsbane at all.
Unless, of course, it is a brand new alien character, in which case, my apologies, Clayton Crain.
I love how everyone is always so ROUND on a Terry Dodson cover.
I agree with Greg's comments on this cover – nifty idea, not so nifty execution.
Mike Choi is way too talented of an artist for his work to always be so computerized. The whole "everything looks shiny" deal is not a good look.
Brandon Peterson sometimes has a similar problem with computers, but for the most part, I think he avoids any issues with this cover.
It's a nice split cover – the various images flow well.
I love how Wolverine is almost positioned as though to say "no, Land! She's a kid! No ass shot!"
That's an awesome looking Colossus by Land.
Decent Iron Man poster by Land, if a bit too "by the books."
I'm glad they managed to repurpose this Yu promotional piece for Secret Invasion.
It's a strong piece of artwork. Definitely captures the reader's eye.
I'm not feeling these Kick Ass covers.
Hopefully the interiors will be more interesting!
I bet the interiors of this Punisher issue will be cool, but the cover by Bradstreet is a bit too on the low key side.
Come on, Kaare Andrews! You gotta give me something more than just some interesting folks on the sidebar!
While he still seems to be overdoing it a bit with the computer effects, this is a much stronger Michael Golden cover than last time around.
Heck, the computer stuff actually probably HELPS this cover, which is nice to see.
Is Sage wearing a pasty on this Alan Davis cover?
Besides that unsettling thought, nice cover by Davis.
Interesting take on the X-Men by Carlo Pagulayan – it seems like somewhat of a change for him, style-wise.
Reminds me of Tom Raney.
You know, we've already gone past the point of when a "Wolverine and Deadpool should quit acting like Maddie and David and just go for it – this sexual tension is driving me nuts!" joke would be a working reference.
But how long before a "Sam and Diane" reference ALSO stops working?
Will it ever?
Or will "Sam and Diane" endure a la Honeymooners and I Love Lucy?
It's striking the amount of Wolverine covers recently that involve him appearing lackadaisical about some pretty crazy crap.
"Yep, I'm just chilling in a pile of skulls and bloody water. S'up with you?"
Otherwise, a good Risso cover.
Your aping skills are the greatest, Jimmy Cheung!
I applaud you!
This cover reminds me of how impressed I am by the interview shtick in The Order. When you repeat almost anything, it will eventually get boring, like these Cheung covers (all on their own are quite lovely covers, featuring excellent aping of old artists, but month after month of the same basic cover, it gets old) – and yet I don't think the interview shtick HAS gotten old.
Cheers, Matt Fraction!!
I'm less impressed with this Cheung cover for the Warbound.
What is going on on this cover exactly?
Are they sliding down the hill? Are they backing up the hill?
Some of them look like they're advancing, some look like they're pulling back and some (the Brood one) don't look like either!
I like the idea of mixing a classic Thor pose with the modern day phone lines in the background.
I see Zircher is drawing this. Hopefully he's busting out his Terror Inc. style to explode people's brains with his newfound awesomeness (not that he wasn't a good artist before, but now he's awesomerageous).
I like this Kaare Andrews cover for the Twelve. It's a good step up from last month.
It is a cover.
Goodbye, the Order!
I will miss you!
And it's a pretty decent cover to send them out on!
Eddy Barrows, take heed! Mike Deodato is on the ball! He'll tell you how to work ass shots into covers!
Knowing Barrows, he'd probably have her, like, facing forward or having a piece of debris covering her ass.
That hack.
Deodato further puts Barrows to shame by working in an ass shot even as She-Hulk is facing forwards!!!!
Pure genius.
Deodato tries to draw away from the genius by doing a very clever piece of working the logo into the cover, but he's just being modest.
Fine old fashioned cover by Gurihiru.
Perhaps not , but still, a fine cover!
Next to sharp protrusions from his shoulders, the one other thing Nova has always needed is a surfboard shaped like his helmet logo.
Kudos, Alex Maleev, kudos.
Seriously, cool cover by Maleev.
I'd like to view this cover as Night Thrasher having a nightmare about how garish the New Warriors look.
That said, this is a strong Nic Klein cover. Really gets the point of the divide between Thrasher and the group across.
Homage or not, this Suydam Moon Knight cover works a lot better than last month's.
Eminently, effectively and appropriately moody!
Greg Horn impresses me yet again!
This is a good Ms. Marvel cover.
I especially like the use of lighting. Impressive stuff.
Okay, let me just get this out of the way…
If this is what Marvel's going to do for their Secret Invasion covers, then I am just going to be so irked.
MORE homage covers?
We just saw Arthur Suydam run the concept into the ground, then run it about twenty feet below the ground, and now we're going to do it AGAIN, only with Skrulls instead of Zombies?
I cry foul.
Homage covers work when they're unique and surprising, not when they are rote and predictable.
Nice to see Leonard Kirk spice things up a bit on this Marvel Adventures: Avengers cover.
A strong improvement over the sorta boring pin-up covers he had been doing.
Francis Tsai's perspective is totally dead on.
He's correct.
That is how it would look.
Still looks weird to me!
Sorry, Francis!!!
You know I dig me some Sean Murphy artwork, but come on, that Juggernaut is just waaaaaaay too skinny.
It throws off the entire cover.
I bust artists sometimes for when they make the Thing look different, and I don't mean to infer that I think every artist should slavishly copy Kirby, I just think that, if they're going to make a change, make it look cool – some of the tiny head Thing drawings were not cool looking.
Graham Nolan's more monstrous looking Thing, on the other hand, looks cool to me, so I'm good with it.
Is this cover Ron Lim?!!?
If so, wow, Bob Layton is a freaking inking master!
I absolutely adore this drawing by Gerald Parel, but comic book covers are not the place for esoteric ideas.
You have to appeal to the quick glance, and this cover doesn't do that.
I love the idea of getting John Romita Jr. to do a cover when the guest-star is an Eternal.
Cool cover.
Clever Djurdjevic cover.
He IS trying to evoke angel wings on this cover, right?
Because if he isn't, then I take back my compliment!
A brilliant use of negative space by Kaare Andrews.
An instance where the lack of red colored blood really hurts a cover.
It's like they're leaking oil.
Very forceful and efficient cover by Djurdjevic.
Now this is a clever cover homage.
Alan Davis homages himself, only works in an unforeseen element to the familiar Excalibur cover, Forrest Gump style.
That's cute.
It's not "Zombies/Skrulls redo every notable Marvel cover ever."
Interesting Steve Uy cover.
Definite step up from last month's!
Come on, Alan Davis, give the lady a chair!
Wakanda is this super awesome country, but they can't even get a chair for their queen?
I love that Art Adams embraced his inner Ditko (do note that inner Ditkos prefer to be left alone normally) with the Spider-Men on this cover.
Nice cover.
As you may very well know by now, I loves me the "slow walk."
So yeah, I dig this Aleksi Briclot cover!
This is my current favorite "slow walk" in comics, though!
Great character work by Tony Harris.
The negative space really accentuates the action on this Ron Frenz cover.
This is possibly the greatest comic book title ever – Spider-Man (Iron Man/Hulk) Magazine!
Now if only there was a Spider-Man (Iron Man/Hulk/Thor…plus Captain America/Wolverine/Storm/Ant-Man….with Thing/Deadpool/Namor…featuring Gambit/Rogue/Banshee….introducing Cyclops as Colossus) Magazine, then the discussion would be moot.
Title silliness aside, that's some of the strongest Clayton Henry work I've seen. Good job, Mr. Henry!
Impressive David Williams cover.
I want to see more David Williams covers!!
Joe Madureira follows up his impressive showing last month with a sweet gatefold cover.
It's like the Three Stooges.
Apocalypse is telling these two numbskulls that he'll have to moider them..
Greatest Omega Red cover ever?
Dubious distinction, Stuart Immonen, but it's A distinction!!!
Dude, she's not your Gann Josin! Let her go!
Seriously, fine drawing by Tommy Ohtsuka of…well…whatever this is supposed to be.
My goodness! This time, I know this IS Ron Lim, and yet it still looks like Brett Booth!
That's some fine quality aping right there!
I really like this Paolo Rivera cover.
It gets across the times quite well.
Gerald Parel's facial expressions for the win!!!
How awesome is that look?!!?
An imposing cover by John Watson.
Sean Phillips keeps up his moody, evocative Criminal covers.
I'm very impressed with how Jae Lee laid this cover out.
Impressive design work.
Very nice moody piece by Cary Nord.
The use of the darkness is impressive, as well.
Imposing Gabriele Dell'Otto cover.
That's a badass looking Thing.
Really cute Leonard Kirk cover.
Love the expressiveness of Kitty.
Is this seriously Maleev?
Not that his normal style isn't amazing, but it is staggering to me that he could do such a different art style (Djurdjevic-esque) and have it still look good.
Best cover to feature Jigsaw on it?
Thank you, Warren Ellis!
Can you imagine Machine Man starring on the cover of an anthology BEFORE Nextwave?
Great Brandon Peterson cover – the character really fits with Peterson's computerized style.
I think Djurdjevic should trademark that cover pose.
But consarnit, it is effective as all get out!!!
Boy, Fabry sure is good at drawing unsettlingly bizarre looking people, isn't he?
Great idea for a cover, and Gary Panter executes the idea beautifully.
5. Jackson Guice's first cover for Captain America, and he's definitely mixing the style up, and it really works well.
An action piece, but a stylized one.
4. This Bachalo piece would be higher, if it weren't for the fact that the idea's been done a few times in the past.
But rarely as effectively as Bachalo does here.
3. Skottie Young is one of those cover artists where you really just can't wait until you see what he's drawing next, he's that impressive.
The manic nature of a man made out of bees is perfect for Young's style, and the negative space works wonders for him here.
2. This cover disgusts me…
but this cover is awesome!!
Seriously, this McGuinness cover would be great if it was only one of them, together, it is a brilliant idea.
How come these things never seem to match up when you place them side by side?
1. I absolutely adore this cover piece by Bachalo.
Intricate, striking, it is just a stunning piece of artwork (even if it slightly goes against my whole "I don't like it when covers show commenced fights" thing, as it only SLIGHTLY goes against it, and really is more of a "this fight is about to REALLY become a fight" drawing).
Well done, Bachalo! TWO covers in my top five!!!
That's it for this month! Feel free to share your prejudices (and YOUR top five!)!
I'll grant you, modern day Ron Lim has a tendency to be sub-par, but I will defend pre-oh, let's say 91 or so Ron Lim with my dying breath. Pre-Gauntlet, anyway.
How is Panter's Omega cover not in the top five?!
A billion times better than McGuinness', Young's, or Bachalo's.
And I think the Kick-Ass covers are great. If you think it's no big deal to see a young, unarmed person get hit in the face with a nightstick, the cover has made it's point.
It's kind of elegant, actually.
Who does Josh Brolin play in Captain America?
A billion times better than McGuinness', Young's, or Bachalo's.
Unsurprisingly, I disagree.
Panter's cover IS quite good, though! I had it as basically a toss-up between that and the Cap cover for the #5 spot.
I'll grant you, modern day Ron Lim has a tendency to be sub-par, but I will defend pre-oh, let's say 91 or so Ron Lim with my dying breath. Pre-Gauntlet, anyway.
My Layton/Lim comment was less of a shot at Lim as it was a "Wow, Layton really makes things he inks look like he drew them."
Looking at that cover, it looks like a total Layton piece to me, but according to the solicit, it was penciled by Lim! That's impressive to me.
And I think the Kick-Ass covers are great. If you think it's no big deal to see a young, unarmed person get hit in the face with a nightstick, the cover has made it's point.
It's kind of elegant, actually.
As I mentioned for the Parel Iron Man cover, esoterism really does not have much of a place on comic book covers.
Well, that all depends on what kind of audience you're going for. Certain people are captivated by action, and others are captivated by concept.
I liked the Iron Man cover, too.
Fair enough.
I think covers should be aiming for as wide of an audience as possible, but it's fair enough to note that my view of what covers should be trying to do is not necessarily "the" view.
I think "Iron Man: Legacy Of Doom" is an homage to Iron Man 150…
Yup, it is.
Right, J, but that's still Ron Lim's art there, right? Looking all Layton-y?
Panter for the win.
Hell, whoever thought up the idea of Panter working on a Marvel book for the win as well.
Another average to poor month cover wise. Thankly, I've just seen May's covers and they rock!
Anyway, my top five, fwiw
5 X-Factor – Glenn Fabry is a bit of an acquired taste but this is weird enough to appeal.
4 Uncanny X-Men – yes, maybe the idea doesn't quite work, but in a poor month, an amusing cover by the amazing Mike Choi still makes the cut.
3 Ms Marvel 26 – when Greg Horn tears himself away from just the T&A he is a serious proposition.
2 The Twelve 4 – Does this remind anyone else of the Days of Future Past cover? Anyway, it's neat and I love the idea of this Laughing Mask guy.
1 Picture of Dorian Gray 5 – How come the best cover of the month isn't anything to do with superheroes but based on an Oscar Wilde novel? Oh, Gerard Parel, that smile. I think I love you.
Given the end of X-Forc #1, maybe something happened to Rahne that makes her look like that.
X-Force. Whatever.
I like that Iron man cover (#28, the close-up on the eye). I'm not an Iron Man fan, but the arresting nature of the image would probably get me to take a shot on the book.
I disagree that a comicbook cover has to feature some level of action, or even movement, in order to be effective. I think an eye-catching composition, an intriguing/interesting central concept and a mastery of a given illustrative technique (pen&ink, paints, CGI…) are more likely to entice a reader to take a chance on a book. After all, that's the point, right?To get new readers? You've already hooked your main audience just by being there. I can't imagine a long-time Batman fan saying to himself, "Well, I've bought every issue of 'Detective Comics' for the last thirty years, but this cover…JEEZ! What a piece of crap! Time to break the habit!"
Speaking of pieces of crap, is that Fantastic Four cover by Bryan Hitch? It's RUBBISH! Not just because of the lack of red blood as suggested, but because it's a really crappy drawing! How much does Hitch get paid again?
Terry Dodson cover: I csn't get hung up on if the characters are rounded off a bit. Not when Cyke is shooting eye beams out of his ears!
Uncanny X-Men: Are you kiddin' me? That's a GREAT cover! Hippie Angel, flower child blond (Emma?), and mod Cyke. The logo style was nailed as well. Fantactic cover.
Punisher 56: Bradstreet has had so man great covers, I'd give him a pass. This may be kinda low-key, but it's still well executed. Very consistent artist.
New Exiles 4: Mike Golden was SOOOOO much better when he drew on paper. This just isn't him.
New Exiles 5: They're not pasties, they're the norse-styled boob-armor thingies. She's just missing the leathers underneath. On a related note, it would appear that Kitty had her hooties sanded completely off!
Conquest 6: Yea, that "You're gettin' your ass kickes, now" walk is quite effective.
Spider-Girl 19: I'm so glad Frenz quit trying to draw like Kirby. I really hatede him in the 90's.
PWJ 18: Cool! I've never seen Jigsaw actually look creepy before. Very nice.
Not unsurprisingly, I prefer the Bishop assshot to the Mystique one.
Although I enjoyed your comment about Wolverine hiding Pixie's behind in the Land poster, the main thing that poster leaves me with is that Emma is teasing the straight male fans with the possibility that her breasts are going to pop right out of her top (and she knows it).
I'd rather look at the background with classic Vision than the teen version on that "Young Avengers" cover. He was my 4th favorite Marvel character and the young version kills my hope of getting the real Vision some nice day (or even a storymy one, I don't care!)
Correct me if I'm wrong, but during that Punisher storyline, isn't Castle up against 8 soldiers (and only six shown)?
Given the end of X-Force #1, maybe something happened to Rahne that makes her look like that.
What, did she run into Batman and steal his cowl?
Yeah, Skottie Young! Way to make even the Swarm look badass. =)
Agreed on that FF cover's poor coloring choice.
"Nooo! They've sprung a leak!"
The Thing on that Ultimate FF cover looks a lot like Sharon Ventura to me.
I do look forward to the Zombie Skrull version of it, however.
I'm not sure how strictly the term "homage" should be defined, but the Layton/Lim cover does remind me a lot of the Layton/J.R.Jr. cover for IIM 150:
Since my original introduction to Layton was his work with John Romita Jr. on Iron Man, it shouldn't be surprising that I've always found his inks more impressive than his pencils. It was both Layton and Terry Austin who really taught me how important it was to pair pencillers and inkers to compliment each other, but Bob Layton was definitely the first name I ever learned to really respect as an inker.
What's going on with Sebastian Shaw's face in the Legacy cover??? It's almost as odd as that face-front ass shot of the She-Hulk – wow, that's crappy!
re Hulk Cover(s)
How come these things never seem to match up when you place them side by side?
Because your 2 graphics aren't sized right.
The 2 halves form a whole that was used as a promo/christmas card give away in Decemeber:
re: Ron Lim – Layton's one of those Inkers, especialy on Iron Man, who really puts his stamp on the art.
Lim, unfortunately, is one of those pencilers who's heavily at the mercy of his artists, as his frequent, unfortunate pairing with Al Milgrim shows.
Wow. Tony Harris gave Jameson a penis-nose. Colour me impressed.
Gary Panter. Dang. Is he doing interiors, too?
I'm still not sure if I'm allowed to buy Omega now.
You're sure missing out, MA. Omega's really hitting it's stride.
Yes, Panter is doing the interiors as well. I expect what few average Marvel fans are reading this will completely explode.
Whoa, we get interiors by Panter, too?
That Jackson Guice Captain America cover would have to be my number one. I love how he uses the colors in the shield. Like Brian said, it's action oriented, but highly stylized.
"Correct me if I'm wrong, but during that Punisher storyline, isn't Castle up against 8 soldiers (and only six shown)?"
I believe he's going to be going up against the 8 US Generals who sent him on his mission in the Mother Russia arc. Those would be the soldiers they're sending after him, though I could see there being more than the 6 pictured.
Speaking of the Punisher and cover homages, the War Journal cover looks like an homage to Punisher #55
The concept behind the Kick-Ass covers might work better for me if JR, Jr. weren't so solidly established (and so genre-stylized) a superhero artist. I see the cover and get the basic idea, but the stylization and the artist association keep the violence from seeming visceral and the apparent ages of the character pictured from registering immediately. And for the shock effect to work, it'd need to register on sight.
That's fair enough, Omar.
That Anita Blake cover irritates me every time I see it. Apparently he's upset over having blood carefully poured over his shoulders. Granted, that would be upsetting.
And the Thing on the oily FF cover creeps me out. Both the teeth and the eyes are just… wrong.
I love the Ultimate Human cover. Hulk looks really menacing there. Impressive!
Bachalo's Spidey-in-Snow cover is absolutely gorgeous. But number one pick for the the ASM #555 cover? I don't know – is it actually finished?
Yeah, Hitch's face for The Thing is not quite right. An example of a character for whom the faux-torealism doesn't quite work.
That cover for Kick-Ass is actually interior art from the first issue, so I doubt that's what the cover will actually look like.
Incidentally, I'm loving Apodaca's 'faux-torealism' phrase. Seems like the perfect way to describe Hitch's art, nicely done.
I love the Cary Nord/Ultimate Human cover. Deserves MY Top 5.
Also love how an artist can paint only half a cover and be praised for the use of "white space". Cool.
Jebus Maria and Josef, that Glenn Fabry cover towards the end (X-FACTOR I believe)……..that…….

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) -- Thousands of people across Florida and the nation are giving sharply divided opinions on the state's controversial self-defense laws.
A task force created by Gov. Rick Scott to look at the laws will hold its first public hearing Tuesday in central Florida close to where Trayvon Martin was shot and killed by neighborhood watch volunteer George Zimmerman.
Zimmerman has said he acted in self-defense. He was charged with second-degree murder after weeks of protest.
The task force has already received nearly 6,600 emails.
Some have strongly urged Scott to keep intact the "stand your ground" law that allows a person to meet force with force if they believe they are in danger.
Others have complained it has turned Florida into the wild, wild west and have vowed to vacation elsewhere.

The nerves of the body report what touches your skin and about the health and status of your muscles and bones. The reports are carried by sensory nerves headed back to the spinal cord and brain. Motor nerves are the wires that allow the brain and spinal cord to operate the muscles. Any of these nerves can be injured or impaired in a variety of ways. In many cases, the problem is essentially mechanical, a pinched nerve for instance. If that is the case, the problem can be fixed by releasing the nerve from its pinch or entrapment.
The most common type of nerve entrapment is carpal tunnel syndrome affecting the median nerve at the wrist. Another common entrapment is cubital tunnel syndrome affecting the ulnar nerve at the elbow. Many physicians take care of these two types of problems. However, many other types of nerve entrapment can occur affecting the neck, shoulder, arm, hand, low back, buttock, leg and foot. Often, it is difficult to find a specialist to help with these many different types of nerve entrapment.
At the Institute for Nerve Medicine, we understand that there are a variety of nerve entrapments that can be difficult to diagnose and treat. Dr. Aaron Filler and the INM use the most advanced techniques including obtaining MR Neurography studies from the Neurography Institute and using Open MRI guidance to confirm diagnoses and apply targeted treatments.

Newsletter - July 05
The best back-country single track in the country. I know this is a BIG CALL, but we got the chance to rediscover the Queen Charlotte track. I think this may be the 3rd time I have had a chance to ride it and I now think that each time I ride it, it just gets better. There is so much to riding the Queen Charlotte that it is a full adventure. There is the organisation (thanks Skoda), food (thanks Ritchey), great single track, amazing views, great lodge's to stay at. What more could anyone want in a ride? It is no wonder the Kennett Bros. give it the "thumbs up" in their book. We rode it a quite a leisurely pace too, 86km (61km of single track) in 3 days won't beat any records, but that is the point. It's defiantly an experience to savour. There is also the opportunity of stop; ride back up the hill you came, to refine your lines.
Day one, Ship Cove to Punga Cove, a nice leisurely ride, except for the steep climb straight out of Ship Cove. It's a bit of a wake up call after the water taxi ride, it's also a good time to think about those lighter weight components that your were going to get. Day two, in my opinion, is the best day. It's about a 30km's and has lots of climbing, which means lots of descending. The down hill to Torea Saddle is just the best, but it seems to end all too quickly. The temptation was to go and do it again, but with 10k's to go, the sun going down and one more big climb, it's best to continue on to Te Mahia. It surprise's me that some people choose not to do this section; they don't know what there missing. If there is enough time there is always the James Vogel track.
As you can probably see by the picture, the Vogel's track is less like a track and more like a collection of tree roots, which can ridden. Well, depending on skill level, I always have a few issues with the Vogel's track.
Day Three, 11km blast to Anakiwa and 23km road bash to Picton. The Kennett's rate the final ride to Anakiwa as the best part. It is a very good blast, with the climbs being small and the whole trip being mostly down hill. It is also very popular with trampers, so "control that mountain bike". The sealed road back to Picton is OK.
New Blurs
By the time you read this, I should be staring at a handful of new Blurs. I have manage to secure 3 Blur LT's and ONE Blur XC. These frames are basically spoken for. I am working with Santa Cruz to get more new blurs very soon. There has been a BIG demand for these frames and Santa Cruz is trying to keep up. If you require some, please tell me fast.
OK, you can start pre-ordering your Nomads now. Santa Cruz has just confirmed with me that medium powder coated Nomads will start to become available from late July. Then other sizes will be available in August. They will be introduced with only two shock options, the Fox Float R and the new DHX air; the coil version will be available in September. Santa Cruz is working with Fox to customize the DHX coil to the Nomad. I am very sure that this will be a fantastic bike and worth waiting for. So start thinking about your colour chose now. I think ano slate will be the most popular
Hecklers are back in stock! Time to fill your shelves up with these babies. I've got them in small, medium and large. Anodised and a couple of powdercoated frames too. All with new shiney fox DHX5.0 coils. Get in quick, these didn't last long last time.
Thanks again for your support,
Mike Stylianou & Sandra Williams

Hi! My name's Dawn, and I love anime, manga, Disney movies and cosplaying! Disney is one of the biggest parts of my life and always will be. I love all of the classic films so much, and I have done cosplays for some of them already, and one day I want to have cosplayed as all of the Disney Princesses!
I also love some of the Marvel films, such as The Avengers and The Amazing Spider man, as well as Animes such as Sailor Moon, Naruto and Haruhi Suzumiya. I like to cosplay as anime and manga characters too, my favourite being Sailor Moon!
I've been to MCM Expo in London a few times now and love going there and cosplaying! I've also done some modelling work, both in normal clothing, specially designed photo-shoots and in cosplay outfits! I've also recently gotten into the habit of using Photoshop to edit my own pictures, as well as pictures of others.
I hope you enjoy the content I put onto my page, and I am always happy to hear comments about my photos and cosplays. If you have similar interests I'm sure that we will get on just great. Thanks guys ~

There was a time when public health agencies advised Americans to get rid of their unwanted medication by flushing them down the toilet. But now, because trace amounts of drugs have begun turning up in our drinking water, lakes and streams, that recommendation has changed.
The SMARxT public service campaign urges people to be kinder to the environment. Now, when you toss your leftover or expired pills and syrups, you should pour them into a sealable plastic bag. (If the medication is a pill or capsule, dissolve it in water first.) Then, add kitty litter or used coffee grounds to the bag before tossing it in the household trash. The granules will absorb the liquid and make it less attractive to pets and small children. Finally, to prevent identity theft, remove and destroy personal information from medicine bottles before recycling.
One caveat: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) says that certain medications, including some opioid painkillers, should still be flushed down the toilet. The FDA recommends the following medications be flushed down the toilet instead of thrown in the trash:
fentanyl citrate (Actiq)
methylphenidate (Daytrana) transdermal patch
fentanyl (Duragesic) transdermal system
oxycodone (OxyContin) tablets
morphine sulfate (Avinza) capsules
entecavir (Baraclude) tablets
atazanavir sulfate (Reyataz) capsules
gatifloxacin (Tequin) tablets
stavudine (Zerit) for oral solution
meperidine HCl tablets
oxycodone and acetaminophen (Percocet)
sodium oxybate (Xyrem)
fentanyl buccal tablet (Fentora)

College Hockey:This Week in the MAAC: October 23, 1998
OK, the season isn't quite kicking into full gear yet; the first complete slate of conference games comes next weekend. But when Iona and Quinnipiac face off in the first round of the third annual Quinnipiac Cup in East Haven, Conn., on Friday, Metro Atlantic hockey will finally become a reality.
"We're extremely excited about the start of the season," said Rand Pecknold, head coach of the host Braves. "The staff and administration are excited about the jump to Division I and the start of the MAAC. I definitely am. The players just want to start the season. They might not understand the significance of the first game now, but they will in a few years."
Although the Q Cup is the only official MAAC action on tap, this weekend should also give an early indication of the how the MAAC stacks up against the rest of the Division I college hockey world, as the teams predicted to finish 1-2 hit the road in nonconference action. Holy Cross, the preseason pick to take first, heads to Colorado Springs for a weekend set with Air Force, while Canisius begins its traveling road show with a jaunt to Minnesota St.-Mankato. Without further ado, a look at this weekend's matchups: Quinnipiac Cup Iona (0-0) vs. Quinnipiac (0-0) Friday, 5 p.m. EST, Ingalls Rink, New Haven, Conn. Fairfield (0-0) vs. Bentley (0-2) Friday, 8 p.m. EST, Ingalls Rink, New Haven, Conn. Saturday, 4/8 Consolation/Championship
Going into the third annual Q Cup, the host school looks like the prohibitive favorite. But don't tell that to Braves coach Rand Pecknold as he preps his team for Friday's faceoff with Iona. "We certainly don't look to take them lightly," said Pecknold. "They're going to surprise some people this year. They've got 19 freshman coming in, and that's the type of situation where anything can happen."
Should Quinnipiac advance, they will face the winner of Fairfield, who the Braves beat 7-4 in the finals of last year's Q Cup, and future MAAC entry Bentley. But Pecknold won't allow his team to look that far ahead.
"We don't adjust much," said Pecknold. "We have a solid system that we more or less stick to. If we win we'll watch the second game and take it from there."
The tourney's setting shifts to the more intimate confines of Yale's Ingalls Rink after being held for two years at the New Haven Coliseum.
Picks: First round: Quinnipiac 7, Iona 2; Fairfield 5, Bentley 3. Consolation: Iona 8, Bentley 5. Championship: Quinnipiac 4, Fairfield 2. Holy Cross (0-0) at Air Force (0-0) Friday and Saturday, 7:30 PST, Cadet Ice Arena, Colorado Springs, Colo.
It might appear on the surface that there's more pressure on Holy Cross than any other MAAC team this weekend. After all, Paul Pearl's squad was picked first in the league preseason poll, and in one of their few nonconference games they are playing an independent that finished 7-15 against Division I teams last season.
But Pearl doesn't see it that way. The fourth year coach says it's a matter of having his untested squad (save for a 2-1 overtime exhibition win over Penn State last weekend) going into someone else's rink for their season opener. The key to winning in these situations, according to Pearl, boils down to a simple matter of minimizing mistakes.
"It comes down to basics," said Pearl. "We've got to stay out of the box, not turn the puck over, spend as little time as possible in our own zone when we're in their building." Picks: Holy Cross 4-3 (OT), 6-1.
Canisius (2-0) at Minnesota St.-Mankato (2-0) Friday and Saturday, 7 p.m. CST, Mankato Civic Center, Mankato, Minn.
After opening its season with a home sweep of Bentley last weekend, Canisius heads out to Minnesota for one of the bigger tests of the early season, as the Ice Griffs challenge a tough Mankato squad. To come out the trip in the win column, they're going to have to stop Tyler Deis, a senior with 135 points in 95 games. But Bob Janosz should be up to the challenge. The Canisius senior goalie showed he's up to his usual form in last Friday's 6-2 win over Bentley, stopping 26 shots.
On offense, the Griffs will have to show the same balance they displayed against Bentley, when eight different players scored. They'll also have to step up their power play. On the man advantage, Canisius was first in the country last year (37-130, .285). Against Bentley, they could only muster two goals in 11 attempts (.181).

Release Date: 02/07/2013
Oregon started the meet off by notching a 39.05 in the compulsory round, including a perfect score in the pyramid heat. UO almost got another two more perfect scores in the round as they scored 9.95 and 9.85 in in the toss heat and acro heat, respectively.
Azusa Pacific made up some ground as they topped Oregon in the Acro round, scoring 27.85 to Oregon's 27.54. The Ducks scored 9.24, 8.70 and 9.60 in the three heats, but Azusa Pacific was able to score 9.00 or above in all three heats and took the Acro round.
"I was very impressed with all of our Compulsory events and thought we came out really strong," said Mulkey. "We definitely stumbled in the beginning of the Acro heat, which is usually one of our stronger events. We were trying some more difficult skills, and with that comes some risk. The 7-element (Nicole Seybold, Chandler White, Zakia Houston and Natasha Katzaroff) performed extremely well and I thought they brought us back and helped us maintain our lead."
With those scores, UO led after two events, 66.59 to 66.4.
The Ducks expanded that lead to 96.34-95.30 with a 29.75-27.85 edge in the Pyramid round. Oregon scored 9.90 or above in all three heats to head into halftime with some momentum.
After the intermission, Azusa Pacific struck back and took the Toss round 28.40-28.10. UO scored well in all three heats, notching a 9.20, 9.40 and 9.50, but APU scored an impressive 9.75 in heat three to win the round.
Oregon took care of business in the Tumbling round as they outscored their opponents in the duo pass 9.50-9.10 (Natasha Katzaroff and Nicole Erlichman), triple pass 9.35-9.00 (Brandy Duren, Kisa Chapman and Erin Block), quad pass 8.80-8.70 (Tara Lubert, Sarah Moreno, Zakia Houston and Maegan Campbell), aerial pass 9.90-9.625 (Kisa Chapman) and 6-element pass 9.95-9.60 (Nicole Erlichman) before APU scored 9.875 to UO's 9.80 in the open pass (Natasha Katzaroff). The Ducks won the round 57.20-55.90.
Up 181.94-179.30 before the team routine, Oregon needed to continue the solid performance to go home with a victory. Azusa Pacific scored a 92.64, but the Ducks outscored them, notching a 95.15 to secure the win.
"Overall, it was a really great meet for a first meet," added Mulkey. "We have some room to improve but we didn't want to peak in the beginning of the season anyways. Our tosses were actually very clean for the most part and we also had a very solid team routine for the first meet. We're excited about coming back to Eugene for our first home meet March 2nd."
Oregon returns to action on Saturday, March 2nd as they host their first meet of the season, welcoming the Baylor Bears to Matthew Knight Arena.

It is my pleasure to write a letter of support on behalf of Suzanne Dolle who is running for reelection to the Cheney School Board. As a teacher in the Cheney School District, I have had the unique opportunity to work with Suzanne in various capacities.
From our work together, I have come to know her as a leader who continually asks the question "What is best for our kids?" Whether it is working through a yearlong process to find the best school calendar for our students or arranging discussions with teachers and state legislators to talk about important educational topics, Suzanne is...
