NSA's Chris Inglis offered a recipe for heartbreak at a CSIS event. (NSA photo)
The calls to improve cybersecurity grow louder by the day, but how can it work if the approach is wrong?
The proliferation of networks, devices and access, combined with rapidly growing architecture and social networking, is fueling a landscape rife with cyber crime and burgeoning threats. The government is working to roll out a number of measures to boost cybersecurity, but experts say efforts must weave in new models and build on traditional tactics.
"It's almost impossible to achieve a static advantage in cyberspace – whether that's a competitive advantage or a security advantage – when things change every minute of every hour of every day. And it's not just the technology that changes; it's the employment of that technology; the operations and practices," Chris Inglis, National Security Agency deputy director, said May 21 at the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington. "If your security depends upon a static advantage and the static nature of compliance-based standards, your heart's going to be broken on a fairly regular basis."
Getting the government on the right cybersecurity track undoubtedly means making major changes, but it is difficult to get the ball rolling amid deep, systemic flaws, speakers at CSIS indicated. Much is riding on the latest efforts – in particular, information-sharing and collaboration – but those are layered atop outdated models that also must change with the times.
"We've been conditioned to build defense in depth as an architectural model, and that architectural model today is so easily evaded" despite talent and focus going into cybersecurity, said David DeWalt, chairman and CEO of FireEye, a computer security firm. "We have a significant deficit in our defense models. Probably the most interesting place we're seeing right now is the dislocation between offense and defense. I've never seen the gap be wider than it is today."
That broken defense model contributes to what has become a $1 trillion epidemic of cyber attacks, DeWalt said. Among the statistics he rattled off: An average U.S. business is hit with an attack 100 times a day; 9,000 malicious websites are created worldwide every day; and 95 percent of U.S. companies have their computers compromised every day.
"At the end of the day we need to do more than simply take the slings and arrows that come our way, going into a fetal crouch," Inglis admitted. The U.S. community of cyber defenders "by and large is increasingly aware of its vulnerabilities and the threats against it, but is not yet...integrated or collaborative enough across the multiple parties in order to prevail."
Government-directed measures to improve information-sharing and collaboration are critical, but they are still premature – including limitations in this year's cybersecurity executive order and in pending legislation that still need to be resolved, Inglis noted.
"If convergence is a reality in cyberspace, then integration in our engineering and collaboration – the human form of integration – must be a necessary response," he said. "We have to put all of our efforts together in order to make this a more defensible, more resilient set of networks, and to then actually defend them."
Information-sharing is a major part of that, although that term is over-used and broad, said Jenny Menna, Homeland Security Department director of stakeholder engagement and critical infrastructure resilience. It also means more than just sharing specific threat intelligence between agencies and companies.
"Sometimes that's actionable indicators...sometimes that's sitting down with CEOs or CIOs to make sure they really understand the threat landscape, what are the most important things where they should allocate scarce resources, what are the decisions they're making that may introduce significant risk, and what are the new technologies out there" that are worthwhile, Menna said.
Beyond sharing information and collaboration, implementation remains a crippling problem, others noted. Applying existing security measures – such as critical security controls that have been identified by entities like the SANS Institute, NSA and the Australian government, for example –would seem obvious, but agencies and companies still fail to do so, leaving them vulnerable.
"We know what we need to do, we just don't do a very good job of implementing," said John Gilligan, president of the Gilligan Group and former Air Force CIO. "As CIO I learned it doesn't cost a lot of money to implement these baseline controls...because most of them are essential to operating and managing the network. It's just doing them in a disciplined manner. So step one is implement the baseline critical security controls."
In other words, one of cybersecurity's biggest hurdles is people – not technology.
"It is humans, after all, who manage and conduct the affairs known as security practices protocols," Inglis pointed out. "The reason adversaries are so enormously successful against our networks today is that it's our implementation that's at issue. Therefore we need to focus on the behavior of humans, not just the behavior of technology."

The latest version of the Defense Department-wide Enterprise Service Management Framework places more emphasis on managing IT risk.
Despite GSA's efforts to accelerate the FedRAMP approval process, the lack of agency reciprocity puts the program's central goals at risk.

The agency software inventories required under the draft category management policy will be treasure maps that lead to efficient, effective, streamlined buying and unprecedented savings.
As experts warned of the "dire" threats posed by outdated federal technology, lawmakers grilled top feds, debated workforce issues and inched closer to backing a $3.1 billion fix-it fund.
The agency is making strides in developing and deploying border technologies but still has some weaknesses.
Agencies have spent almost $23 billion on legacy IT over the past three years, according to reports to Congress. Is a revolving fund the answer?
The United Kingdom will go live with its governmentwide digital identity platform, GOV.UK Verify, in the coming days. The U.S. government will need a little more time.
What contracting officer representatives really think is needed to fix contract management.
Current situation is not by choice but by design. As John said, we know how to secure all of our systems, if we only had the Corporate will to support a secure network. As far back as 95 this topic was discussed in depth by the Fed CIO Council, and recommendations made. Had we of gotten the requested support we would not be in this mess.....
Gee, do ya think so? Better idea: government organizations exposing vulnerable information use a physically separate private government network. It's just phone lines after all. It's just phone lines after all. That's the way it should have been from the start. Expensive, yes, but more secure. Gets the foxes out of the hen house.
Nothin new here. Security by checklist (in Govt, Controls & compliance) is necessary but not sufficient for cyber-security, whereas the application of the Three Tenets does lead to far more, fundementally secure systems. See http://spi.dod.mil/tenets.htm
yes, our gov is on the wrong track in how they are trying to stop cyber security issues and concerns. There is a better way! phil

Splenic sequestration
Splenic sequestration can also lead to low platelet counts as a result of enlargement or change in function of the spleen for a variety of reasons. When the spleen enlarges, it can retain (sequester) more than the usual amount of platelets. Common causes of thrombocytopenia due to splenic enlargement may include advanced liver disease with portal hypertension (cirrhosis, for example, from chronic hepatitis B or C) and blood cancers (leukemias or lymphomas).

- Dilutional thrombocytopenia can result from severe bleeding and transfusion of several units transfused red blood cells in a short time.
- Pseudothrombocytopenia (false thrombocytopenia) is a commonly encountered condition where the number of platelets seen on a complete blood count analysis (CBC) may falsely appear low because of the clumping of platelets together. This can lead to an artificially reduced automated count. If this is suspected, the blood can be redrawn in a tube with a material that prevents clumping of platelets for repeat analysis. A peripheral smear review will identify platelet clumping.
- Thrombocytopenia can also be present at birth, called neonatal thrombocytopenia. Most of these cases can be caused by processes similar to above, although, they are occasionally related to rare genetic conditions.
When should I seek medical care for thrombocytopenia?
If thrombocytopenia is detected on a routine blood work, it is generally addressed and investigated by the physician who orders the test. In people with known thrombocytopenia, follow-up care is decided based on the diagnosis and the severity. However, if a person has one or more of the above listed symptoms, they should seek a health-care professional as thrombocytopenia may quickly worsen and become serious in some individuals.
People with thrombocytopenia are, in general, initially cared for by an internist or a family practice physician. Sometimes, consultation with a doctor who specializes in blood disorders (hematologist) is helpful for more thorough investigation or treatment, but others may require additional help.

Sorry, this product is no longer in stock.
Nice smell and works well
Posted by Reviewer1596347 on Nov 07, 2010
Gives a slight stingy feeling as I have sensitive skin. But I use it sparingly and I actually don't scrub my skin for too long. (Instructions say 3 mins which I think is an overkill). Leaves my skin feeling smooth every time I use it.
Very effective scrub
Posted by 5623729629903415572 on Dec 25, 2012
At first I thought the jar was very small and it would not last long, but once I tried the product, I found I needed very little of it. The granules in it are small, but sort of sharp (volcanic sand, wow) and there's a lot of them in the scub. In fact it seems to me the sand makes up most of the scrub, so it's not exactly gentle. I did't use it for the recommended 3 minutes, 1 minute is quite enough. Even this might be too much for someone with sensitive skin! Scrubbing your face with this is not a very nice feeling, but it definitely makes skin very smooth and the effect is long lasting too.
great product
Posted by Reviewer2292722 on May 23, 2009
This is really an amazing scrub, you don'n need much of it and when you use it once or twice a week your skin will feel and look much better. It makes my skin very very soft. All the ingredients are all safe and natural, so this will certainly be my favorite scrub.
The best scrub ever
Posted by Reviewer1502259 on May 25, 2010
I have sensitive and dry but acne prone skin and this scrub doesn't irritate it at all! Great for combination skin. It makes my face unbelieveably soft... This really is the best face scrub I have ever used. The texture is so fine - it exfoliates both efficiently and gently. Just perfect. Lime scent is awesome too. I simply love this product, thank you Derma E! <3
Excellent scrub
Posted by Reviewer1495691 on May 24, 2010
I used this before & was out for a while, I forgot how good it makes my skin feel. It feels much cleaner & refreshed.
Good scrub
Posted by Reviewer3028915 on Jun 11, 2010
This is a really nice scrub. Exfoliated deeply and left my skin soft. No irritation.
Great product and much cheaper than a salon
Posted by Reviewer1437139 on Jun 14, 2010
I love this product. My skins really glows after using it. It has natural ingredients and gives good results. A little goes a long way.
Posted by Reviewer1583441 on Oct 24, 2010
I bought this along with the Tropical Solutions Facial Scrub. This product is far more superior. it smells really great - like lemon meringue pie! - and for me is a mild exfoliant. I use it daily because of this. The Tropical Solutions is very runny and much more abrasive. I will use the remainder of it but will not order it again since this product works so very, very well.
Best scrub ever!
Posted by Reviewer1254844 on Nov 25, 2010
My face got brighter and smoother. First when I felt some 'grainee' things, I worried about pssible irritation. But I was wrong. this product absolutely works for my dry & turn-over-needed-deadcell-allover skin. You can see the difference immediately.

LIDKOPING, Svezia, January 24, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --
Handheld Group, produttore in rapida ascesa di computer portatili, palmari e smartphone robusti, oggi ha annunciato il lancio della nuova versione del suo popolarissimo notebook Algiz XRW. Il nuovo Algiz XRW è nettamente più veloce del suo predecessore e contiene il doppio della RAM.
Per vedere la multimedia news release clicca qui:
(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120124/589119 )
Il nuovo Algiz XRW è un notebook sottile, leggero, compatto e totalmente robusto che consente di raggiungere prestazioni senza precedenti nel campo. Il suo display con touchscreen da 10,1 pollici è dotato di tecnologia MaxView che presenta una nitidezza e una luminosità dello schermo spettacolari in ogni condizione all'aperto, persino alla luce diretta del sole. L'Algiz XRW è uno dei notebook più leggeri e compatti disponibili sul mercato, con un peso di soli 1,5 Kg.
Le funzioni del nuovo Algiz XRW includono:
- Un processore N2600 Dual-Core Intel® ATOM™ da 1,6 GHz veloce e potente.
- Un disco a stato solido più capiente da 128 GB.
- Il doppio della memoria, con 4 GB di RAM DDR2.
- Nuovo GPS u-blox integrato ottimizzato per prestazioni sul campo superiori.
- Maggiore protezione dei dati con la scheda madre chipset TPM.
- Una versione aggiornata della tecnologia opzionale Gobi™ 3000.
"La nuova versione dell'Algiz XRW è nettamente più veloce e performante rispetto alle versioni precedenti," ha affermato Johan Hed, responsabile prodotto presso Handheld Group. "Il nuovo processore ATOM è davvero impressionante: è potente e la sua velocità è pari a quasi il doppio rispetto ai suoi predecessori, eppure consente un notevole risparmio energetico con una lunga durata della batteria. Inoltre, abbiamo aggiunto una cache e memorie RAM più capienti e una grafica superiore e le prestazioni GPS sono state ottimizzate in modo tale da rendere l'Algiz XRW il numero uno nella propria categoria di strumenti di mobile computing."
Il modello di Algiz XRW leggero e a configurazione completa offre un'ampia gamma di funzionalità mobile. È munito di Bluetooth, WLAN e GPS come funzioni standard, al contrario di molti altri prodotti che le offrono come extra ed è anche dotato di una fotocamera integrata da 2 megapixel con messa a fuoco automatica per consentire conferenze video sul posto.
La sua tastiera e il touchpad del mouse sono pienamente integrati e illuminati da due spie LED; inoltre l'indice IP65 garantisce la protezione da sabbia, polvere e acqua. Il prodotto ha superato la prova di robustezza MIL-STD-810G, comprese prove di caduta da 1,2 metri, ed è in grado di resistere a notevoli sbalzi di temperatura da -20 °C a 55 °C.
Il nuovo Algiz XRW è dotato di un potente processore N2600 Dual-Core Intel® ATOM™ da 1,6 GHz e include un disco a stato solido da 128GB e 4 GB di RAM DDR2. È in grado di eseguire il sistema operativo Microsoft Windows 7 Ultimate come qualsiasi altro PC in un ufficio ed è compatibile con Windows 8.
Un modem 3G opzionale fornisce una trasmissione dati GSM/UMTS/EVDO ad alta velocità. L'Algiz XRW è predisposto alla tecnologia Gobi 3000, il che significa che è possibile lavorare su qualsiasi frequenza wireless di propria scelta in qualsiasi parte del mondo. La batteria da 57,6 Wh funziona per otto ore con una sola carica.
Come gli altri prodotti della linea di palmari, smartphone e computer portatili robusti di Handheld, Algiz XRW è stato sviluppato appositamente per l'uso in ambienti estremi in settori come quello minerario, della geomatica, logistica, forestale, dei trasporti pubblici, edile, dei pubblici servizi, manutenzione, militare e sicurezza.
Le ordinazioni del nuovo Algiz XRW sono disponibili immediatamente e le spedizioni inizieranno alla fine di febbraio 2013.

However as I started to pull these blogs together, I realized that my IOT discussion lacked a vision; it lacked an end point towards which an organization could drive their IOT envisioning, proof of value, app dev, data engineering and data science efforts. And I think that the IOT end point is really quite simple…

A critical component of any IoT project is what to do with all the data being generated. This data needs to be captured, processed, structured, and stored in a way to facilitate different kinds of queries. Traditional data warehouse and analytical systems are mature technologies that can be used to handle certain kinds of queries, but they are not always well suited to many problems, particularly when there is a need for real-time insights.

I'm working on a website and it seems that the main navigation menu isn't up to par. I can't quite put my finger on it, but something about it just makes it not very nice or good looking.
It may be due to the menu background images just appearing with the links on them. Because of this I thought it'd be a good idea to try and implement some sort of fade in on the images, but if I did that the links (text) would appear before the background.
Basically, I feel stuck and am just looking for a way to make my nav menu look nicer, whatever that entails. Something about it just seems off.
If anyone could take a look and provide some input or ideas, I would greatly appreciate it.
I feel like if I were somehow able to convert my current menu to a 'superfish' menu or some sort of javascript animated menu, it may be an improvement, although I'm not sure how I would go about doing such a thing while keeping consistent with my current design.

SDCC: Marvel: Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends Panel
Comic Books
Crime | Police in Amarillo, Texas, are searching for a man who robbed the Big Apple Comics at gunpoint on Tuesday. An employee was locking up the store at about 7:10 p.m. when a man approached him and told him to unlock the doors. The employee resisted, and the robber reportedly drew a semi-automatic pistol and demanded money. The employee handed over an undisclosed amount of cash. [Amarillo Globe-News]
Passings | Zack Davisson, who translated Shigeru Mizuki's works into English for Drawn and Quarterly, pens the definitive obituary of the late manga master, writing not only about his impact on Japanese culture but also his criticism of Japan's actions in World War II and its treatment of disabled veterans, which led writer Jake Adelstein to call him "the Voice of Japan's Conscience." [The Comics Journal]
Shigeru Mizuki, author of the enduring supernatural manga GeGeGe No Kitaro, which popularized the Japanese spirits known as yōkai, passed away today at age 93.
According to The Wall Street Journal, Mizuki had been hospitalized since Nov. 11, following injuries he sustained when he fell and hit his head at his home in Tokyo.
Long beloved in his own country, Mizuki rose to international attention in 2007 when his NonNonBa became the first manga to be honored as Best Album at the Angouleme International Comics Festival. Drawn and Quarterly began publishing his work in English in 2011, with his searing semi-autobiographical war story Onward Towards Our Noble Deaths, which won an Eisner Award; two volumes of Showa, his history of the Showa period, won the 2015 Eisner. His most recent work to be released in English is his biography of Hitler, published earlier this month by Drawn and Quarterly.
Creators | Cerebus creator Dave Sim was scheduled for surgery Tuesday after checking himself into the emergency room for severe stomach cramps. According to Sim's friend, Dr. Troy Thompson, "the presumptive diagnosis is cecal volvulus, which is a twisting of the colon causing obstruction." However, nothing will be known for sure until after the surgery. Sim was already feeling better after doctors inserted a nasogastric tube to remove the contents of his stomach. [A Moment of Cerebus, which is offering updates]
Legal | Matthew Pocci Jr., who in July drove into the crowd of ZombieWalk: San Diego, held annually during Comic-Con International, pleaded not guilty Tuesday to a charge of felony reckless driving. His lawyer said that Pocci, who is deaf, was scared for his safety and that of his family when his car was engulfed by a crowd of people during the event. He initially stopped the car but then restarted the engine and moved forward, striking several people. [UT-San Diego]
Crowdfunding | Digital Manga Publishing's recent Kickstarter campaign raised some questions as to the proper role of crowdfunding in publishing. When DMP acquired the rights to all of Osamu Tezuka's manga that haven't already been translated into English, CEO Hikaru Sasahara launched an ambitious Kickstarter effort to publish about 400 volumes in just a few years. The campaign raised eyebrows not only because of the large amount of money involved (with stretch goals, it would have been more than half a million dollars) but also because it went beyond the direct costs associated with single volumes to include travel and staffing. That campaign failed, but DMP immediately launched another one that's closer to the usual model. I interviewed Sasahara and one of his most prominent critics to get both sides of the discussion. [Publishers Weekly]
Passings | Jay Maeder, who was the last writer for the comic strip Annie (formerly Little Orphan Annie), passed away Tuesday at age 67. A former New York Daily News columnist and editor who authored Dick Tracy: The Official Biography and contributed to The Encyclopedia of American Comics, Maeder worked on Annie, together with artist Andrew Pepoy, from 2000 its cancellation 2010. He created Amelia Santiago, a pilot and CIA agent, and once said of the strip, "I tell people it's Indiana Jones with chicks." [The New York Times]
Manga | Deb Aoki rounds up the manga news from Comic-Con International, including UDON's license of Kill la Kill and Drawn and Quarterly's plans to publish Shigeru Mizuki's biography of Hitler. [Publishers Weekly]
Digital comics | Ethan Gach contemplates what the popularity of tablets means for the comics industry, with a particular focus on comiXology. He points out that the digital distributor offers not only bestsellers but also titles that appeal to a broader audience — and has brought success to some indie creators via its comiXology Submit program. [Forbes]
Academia | Tom Spurgeon talks to Professor Benjamin Saunders, director of the Comics & Cartoon Studies Program at the University of Oregon, which just received a major donation that will serve as an endowment for the program. [The Comics Reporter]
Manga | Kodansha will release a second printing of the January issue of Aria magazine, which features the debut of Hikaru Suruga and Gan Sunaaku's Attack on Titan spinoff No Regrets. The first printing was five times greater than the magazine's usual press run — Aria has a verified circulation of 13,667 copies — so with this new printing, the January issue will have 10 times the number of copies of the average issue. [Anime News Network]
Since 2011, Drawn and Quarterly has published three major Shigeru Mizuki books. The first was Onward Towards Our Noble Deaths, a semi-autobiographical comic about Japanese soldiers in a bizarre, existential crisis at the end of World War II, when it was pretty clear they were defeated: continue to fight to the death anyway, or be put to death by their own leaders. The second was NonNonBa, a childhood memoir about the artist's relationship with his grandmother, and the interest in the yokai of Japanese folklore that became central to the artist's long life of work.
The third and latest is Kitaro, a 400-page collection of 1967-1969 stories from Mizuki's Ge Ge Ge no Kitaro manga. Of the three, it's the book that is definitely the least interesting to talk about, and perhaps has the least literary value, being a more straightforward genre work focused more on entertainment than wrestling with the big issues of national identity that the two previous releases.
It;s also the most fun and easy to read, however, and it bears an important, even foundational, place in the story of Mizuki's life's work: This is his signature work, the reason Mizuki is so famous, so beloved and so influential.
And he is influential. Like Osamu Tezuka in manga and Jack Kirby in American superhero comics, even newer or younger readers who might never have heard of those men or never read a single one of their works nevertheless unknowingly enjoy works by artists they influenced. In his introduction to the collection, Matt Alt not only situates Mizuki with a place of honor in the centuries-long history of yokai study and celebration, he also partially credits Mizuki's comics with paving the way for Pokemon.
Legal | In the aftermath of last month's ruling that DC Comics retains full rights to Superman, the heirs of creators Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster are urging federal judge to dismiss claims that their lawyer interfered with the publisher's copyright to the character. DC sued attorney Marc Toberoff in May 2010, accusing him impeding a 1992 copyright agreement with the heirs by striking overriding deals with them in 2001 and 2003. The families insist the publisher filed its claims two years too late, as the statute of limitations expired in 2008. [Law360]
Webcomics | Malicious hackers hit the Blind Ferret servers last week, and they didn't just wipe out the websites that host Least I Could Do, Girls with Slingshots and other high-profile webcomics — they also wiped out the backups. Gary Tyrell has the story and advises creators to have multiple backups in multiple locations. [Fleen]
Having released his World War II indictment Onward Towards Our Noble Deaths in 2011, and his compelling childhood memoir Nonnonba in 2012, Drawn & Quarterly will publish Shigeru Mizuki's most beloved and best-known work, Kitaro, for the first time in North America in 2013.
Created in 1959, Mizuki's Kitaro, known in Japan as GeGeGe no Kitaro, follows the adventures of a centuries-old little boy who — well, I think the D&Q press release says it best:
Meet Kitaro. He's just like any other boy, except for a few small differences: he only has one eye, his hair is as an antenna that senses paranormal activity, his geta sandals are jet-powered, and he can blend in to his surroundings like a chameleon. Oh, and he's a three hundred and fifty year old yokāi (spirit monster). With all the offbeat humor and a delightful cast of characters, Kitaro is a light-hearted romp where the bad guys always get what's coming to them.
Kitaro is not only incredibly popular in its native country but something of a native landmark, so its release on these shores (the book comes out in February) is noteworthy. As part of Robot 6's anniversary celebration, the folks at Drawn & Quarterly were kind enough to share a sample story from this upcoming volume, Monster Night Game:
A few weeks ago we looked at Fantagraphics publishing plans for 2013. Today I thought it might be worthwhile to peek into Drawn & Quarterly's crystal ball and see what they have in store. I skipped over some re-releases and new volumes of expected material — a new Moomin collection, a paperback release of Paying for It — mainly because I'm lazy.
You're Just Jealous of My Jetpack by Tom Gauld. Gauld's weekly comic gets the fancy book deal. Expect lots of really funny riffs on history and pop culture in Gauld's stone-faced, deadpan style. January, $19.95.

Drawn and Quarterly announced Wednesday that it has the license for Shigeru Mizuki's GeGeGe No Kitaro, the third manga the publisher has acquired from the award-winning creator.
The book, which D+Q simply refers to as Kitaro, is a retelling of a traditional Japanese story about a boy who fights with yōkai, the spirits of Japanese folklore who range from good-natured tricksters to dangerous menaces. The series debuted in 1959 in the boys' manga magazine Weekly Shonen Magazine, and has been adapted for several anime and games as well as a live-action movie.
This is actually the second English translation of Kitaro; the Japanese publisher Kodansha put out a bilingual English/Japanese edition in 2002, but I believe that was intended for English students in Japan, not the import market, and it doesn't seem to be available in the United States.
D+Q's other two Mizuki manga are Onward Towards Our Noble Deaths, the story of a doomed battalion of Japanese soldiers in the waning days of World War II, and NonNon Ba, his memoir of growing up with his grandmother in a world populated by yōkai.
Welcome to Food or Comics?, where every week we talk about what comics we'd buy at our local comic shop based on certain spending limits — $15 and $30 — as well as what we'd get if we had extra money or a gift card to spend on a splurge item.
Check out Diamond's release list or ComicList, and tell us what you're getting in our comments field.
Chris Mautner
If I had $15, I'd grab the latest Lio collection, Zombies Need Love Too. Cartoonist Mark Tatulli has one of the better newspaper comic strips going these days.
If I had $30, I'd nab what is clearly the book of the week, NonNonBa, the latest book from Shigeru Mizuki, author of Onward Toward Our Noble Deaths. NonNonBa aims more toward Mizuki's traditional milieu of Japanese folklore and yokai monsters, though this book is more autobiographical in nature in that it deals with his relationship with his grandmother and how she instilled in him an interest in the spirit world. I've been anxiously awaiting this release.
My splurge for the week would likely be one of two books from First Second: Either Baby's in Black, Arne Bellstorf's fictionalized tale of the sadly doomed Beatle, Stuart Sutcliffe, or Mastering Comics, Jessica Abel and Matt Madden's follow-up to their previous how-to textbook, Drawing Words, Writing Pictures.
Drawn and Quarterly publishes what I think of as "hipster manga" — artsy, bleak, literary titles that are as far as you can get from the boobs-and-battles genre titles that have teenagers clogging the aisles of bookstores — and they have two important manga releases scheduled for next spring.
The first is yet another Yoshihiro Tatsumi title, Fallen Words. Tatsumi's work, which is in the gekiga (underground) tradition, is relentlessly bleak, and the publisher's description makes it clear that this book won't be any exception, despite the promise that it will be "whimsical." The stories are based on the Japanese tradition of rakugo, a comical form of storytelling that uses lots of wordplay. Despite their wit, the stories seem rather dark:
In one, a father finds his son too bookish and arranges for two workers to take the young man to a brothel on the pretext of visiting a new shrine. In another particularly beloved rakugo tale, a married man falls in love with a prostitute. When his wife finds out, she is enraged and sets a curse on the other woman. The prostitute responds by cursing the wife, and the two escalate in a spiral of voodoo doll cursing. Soon both are dead, but even death can't extinguish their jealousy.
Sounds like a regular riot. A little Tatsumi goes a long way, in my opinion. But I'm more excited about the other title, Shigeru Mizuki's NonNonBa, a memoir of growing up with his grandmother in a world inhabited by yokai (spirits). This book won the top prize at Angouleme a couple of years ago — not the top manga prize, the top prize — and I have been hoping someone would bring it over here. This year, D+Q published Mizuki's Onward Towards Our Noble Deaths, a relentless depiction of the lives of soldiers in a doomed unit in the last days of World War II; despite the depressing subject matter, it was a great read, and I'm looking forward to seeing what Mizuki can do with something a bit lighter.

Volunteers Hike To Grand Canyon
The Grand Canyon rim trail, one of the most well traveled trails in the country, was originally built in the 1930s by the Civilian Conservation Corps. Stretches of it have eroded away and become dangerous. But not for much longer, thanks to a crew of a dozen 20-somethings who are a part of the more modern volunteer corps.

WEDNESDAY: Elise at The Sweet Onion
WAYNESVILLE, North Carolina—Nestled on a quiet side street among galleries and specialty shops in the thriving downtown of Waynesville, NC (pop. 9,900), the Sweet Onion was an ideal location for us to catch up with my cousin Elise. Rich wood tones and a spring onion motif decorated a cozy dining room with tables centered around an open-walled kitchen. The food delivered what the décor promised, starting with the basket of buttery biscuits delivered to the table as soon as we arrived.

Adorable Toddler Sets Her Pacifier Free Because "She's a Big Girl Now" [VIDEO]
Posted August 20th, 2014 @ 5:01am by Chilli Amar
Donato is almost 10-months old and I knew from the moment he latched on to me, that he was going to be a pacifier baby. I debated giving it to him...but my sanity was more important. Besides, I figured it's better than being a thumb-sucker...which would present potential issues when it's time to stop. At least with a pacifier, we can PHYSICALLY eliminate it when the time is right. I'm guessing it will be when he's around 2-years old. We'll see.
So...then I found this viral video. It's of an adorable 17-month old who's bidding farewell to her "pacie." Her mother tied it to balloons and released it. Don't laugh, but I got choked up watching this...

Dear Reader,
I am the director and owner of Off Grid World. This site is the brainchild of years of my research into sustainable living, renewable energy, and countless thousands of hours of work to move off grid. It has evolved from a simple idea for a personal homestead for my family, to live a more sustainable lifestyle, and share this information with the world.
THE PROBLEM: All over the world people cannot afford to live sustainably much less comfortably. They cannot afford to buy a home, land, and the needed technology to make themselves and their families self-sufficient. Most people, if they are able to find employment, spend most of their time working just to pay bills, and can barely keep a roof over their heads and food on the table.
THE SOLUTION: The idea isn't just to build a house on a piece of land, but rather a whole sustainable system whereby a reasonable sized family can live comfortably, producing their own food, water and energy enabling them to become self-sufficient. This also has the added benefit of contributing food and energy to the community as well. The energy efficient system is designed to combine current off the shelf technology which is proven and affordable, creating a hybrid system of living which provides the necessities comforts and some of the luxuries of traditional homes.
Community takes people working together toward a common goal. Living sustainably takes work and dedication, drive, motivation, and a deep need to "get back to our roots", and live healthier more fulfilling lives.
This is what Off Grid World is about.
It's what I am about.

Feb 14, 2013Stick To It is a fun experience, but it ends quickly and tends to be on the easy side of things. It won't be much of a test of your problem-solving or platforming skills, even if you are trying to get the star on each level. Despite this, you can do worse if you've got $1.99 to spare and are looking for a breezy and cute iOS title.

Stayed from 13/Oct to 15/Oct. The rooms were on promo and we paid RM280 for 2 night for the 1 bedroom apartment. It was a good deal and we had great time.
We had 3 small boys with us and they did fine with the mezanine stairs. We watch over our kids of course when they go up and down. The bedroom and bathroom are located on the mezanine.
The apartment is clean. All appliances worked well and our towels are clean. Some stain but it is clean. It was spacious. Enough for 3 adults and 3 children.
So far, we've been to a couple of resort around Desaru and Lotus is still the best in term of value for money and cleanliness.
The food spread is good for breakfast. Local delicacy and mamak style cooking. We enjoyed breakfast. Just pick your favourite.
As for cleanliness, over our 3 days stay, we saw workers cleaning the pool every morning, room cleaning daily and there are workers even sweeping sand at the Teratai restaurant...
We enjoyed our stay...and I am thinking of our next outing there...

In Dallas Yesterday, Researchers Unveiled "Definitive Video and DNA Evidence" of Bigfoot
Dr. Melba Ketchum, the East Texas veterinarian turned Bigfoot-hunting geneticist, is at a loss to explain why the scientific community refuses to take her research seriously.
"It's been rather painful," she explained in an exclusive, one-on-one interview with WFAA. "I was naive when I went into this. I thought science would welcome new information."
Not so. Her work with the Sasquatch Genome Project, which recently sequenced Bigfoot's DNA to discover that the creature is part human, has been met with ridicule by those outside of the cryptozoological community.

But just as those filled with the Holy Spirit refuse to let the earthly persecution keep them from spreading the one true word, Ketchum has kept at her mission, of proving to the world that Bigfoot exists, with evangelical fervor.
That was the purpose of yesterday's Sasquatch Genome Project-led press conference in Dallas, where researchers unveiled "definitive video and DNA evidence from the elusive Sasquatch."
WFAA posted the raw HD video, which you'll see above. It was produced as part of the Erickson Project, a five-year, $500,000 initiative run by Adrian Erickson, a pioneer in modern Bigfoot research.
Ketchum has a handy explanation for why all of Erickson's video clips are so grainy, and why no one has ever found a body. It's because they use the wiles inherited from their human ancestors to elude us. Take Ketchum's word for it.
"Oh, you have to believe it," she tells WFAA. "Not only does the DNA evidence prove it, but I've actually seen one at this point."
