I really like the pose.
Will you marry me!!!!
Neferet's A Wonder, Wonder Woman!
May I ask, what did you use for your skirt? It looks like plastic almost. I love it. Gives it a very comic book action figure look.
Hello!!!!! It is like a "plastic leather", the name in spanish is "cuerina"
I got to admit, this costume caught my attention when I first saw it. I've seen quite a few interesting costume changes that Wonder Woman has gone through in the past, but I was never familiar with this one. Overall, it looks pretty sweet, and you wear it as flawlessly as a second skin.
Some of the things I enjoy about this is the unique trim on the cape (WW's always been known for those stars, hasn't she?), the longer skirt (one of the few times we don't have to call her "Wonder Stripper"), and I guess the general aura that just screams "amazon warrior". I daresay the designers at DCU Online got this re-design spot on.
As for those classic and action poses, well, you nailed them for the most part. Although to be picky, maybe a bit more anger would've been better on the second pose (You're going to punch somebody to oblivion after all) but that's neither here nor there. Overall, splendid work with the costume, and major props to the photographer as well. Keep it up!
wowww....... great comment O.O
thank you so much for your opinion!!!!!!!
thank you so much for your opinion!!!!!!!
you can find the original design here images.wikia.com/dcuo/images/5…
the second photo was just a try, but it was the best "action" photo we can take.
again, thanks a lot!!!!
I make it a point to give out great comments... Gotta practice those writing skills after all.
I did see the original design, and I gotta say, it looks pretty beautiful. And sure, the second photo was worth a "shot", but with a bit more practice you'll slip into Wonder Woman and all those classic/action poses with unnatural ease.
It's been a pleasure, and I believe I got a few more of your costumes to check out... I'll expect to see you around sometime.
VERY awesome WW costume! Really like the cape, I think it adds a lot to your outfit!
thank you soo much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You're welcome. It would be really cool if you could do a action fight scene with your WW costume and a Cheetah or Dark Super Girl cosplayer.
That's fantastic! Would that the one in the movie looks that good.
genial!! que opinas de la que eligieron para la peli?
Very nice
Ame esta foto, quedo tan genial. Tu como siempre, te ves genial y hermosa con tu cosplay
wow, tanto tiempo sin revisar mi dA que me perdí de esta gran pieza!
increíble y hermosa como siempre :3
increíble y hermosa como siempre :3
that awesome
I really love how the photographer had managed to capture In-Action Pose well, bring out the beauty of your Cosplay well.
Me encanta tu disfraz...

Why Mayor Tom Wouldn't Admit to Running for Senate Even If He Were
Wick Allison committed an act of journalism today by calling Dallas Mayor Tom Leppert and asking him if he's going to run for Kay Bailey Hutchison's seat. Leppert gave him an answer that was not "No," which, in the language of politics, means "Yes." Only, he didn't say yes.
The reason for Leppert not to admit at this point that he's a candidate for anything, even dog catcher, is plain enough if you look at the Dallas city charter. It says three different times in three different ways that anybody on the city council who runs for another office is out the door.
Wick speculates that Leppert probably wouldn't even carry Dallas if he tried this stunt. I think Wick's spot-on. So why would Leppert try it? Because from the moment of his first toe-dabbing entry into the pond of politics, Leppert has been entirely a creature and creation of political consultants.
City Hall old-timers tell me they've never seen consultants buzzing around the mayor's office the way they have since Leppert. And why would that cause him to believe he should run for U.S. senator? Because consultants make money when their guys run for stuff.

"The Vatican Gardens" Top 5 Page for this destination Rome Travelogue by von.otter
Rome Travel Guide: 12,430 reviews and 28,296 photos
?How many people work at the Vatican?? asked a reporter
?Oh, about half.? replied Pope John XXIII (1881-1963)
During our tour of Giardini Vaticani we saw some of the people who work at the Vatican: delivering supplies, building things, and gardening; there are 30 full-time gardeners. Our guide too was a Vatican employee. He conducted the tour in three languages, Italian, his native language, English and French, for the sole Frenchwoman on the tour. And he was also eager to debunk ?The Da Vinci Code.? Several times he brought up the novel with an aim to discredit its claims.
To book a tour it is necessary to fax a request, including date and the number of people in the group, to the Vatican?s Office for Guided Tours. The fax number is 06 6988 5100. Use the web site below for more information. Your confirmation will be faxed in return. After faxing my request a month in advance, following instructions on the Vatican?s web site, I nervously waited for the confirmation. I was ecstatic when the my office?s receptionist notified me that it had arrived.
?Saint Peter?s speaks less of aspiration than of full and convenient assurance. The soul infinitely expands there, if one will, but all on its quite human level. It marvels at the reach of our dreams and the immensity of our resources.?
from ?Italian Hours,? 1909 by Henry James (1843-1916)
The immense dome of St. Peter?s dominates the views within the Gardens. Throughout the 2.5 hours we spent in the Gardens our group of 30 climbed higher and higher. At times it seemed as if we would soon come level with the top of the dome!
?Young people are threatened by the evil use of advertising techniques that stimulate the natural inclination to avoid hard work by promising the immediate satisfaction of every desire.?
? Pope John Paul II (1920-2005)
Standing in the Vatican Gardens the Jubilee Bell of 2000 pays tribute to Pope John Paul II.
In the beginnings of his pontificate John Paul II went jogging in the Vatican Gardens. Vatican staff members were shocked; they told the Holy Father that tourists climbing to the top of dome of St. Peter?s Basilica could see him jogging. Reportedly the pope?s reaction was ?So what??
?If you wish to be brothers, let the arms fall from your hands. One cannot love while holding offensive arms.?
? Pope Pius VI (1717-1799)
These jasmine-covered arches were the most beautiful part of the Gardens. Our guide pointed out that in past years the arches were covered by roses.
The hill they stand on indicates the hilly nature of the Gardens. For the first time it was possible for me to understand why the Ancient Romans called this area Mons Vaticanus. The Etruscan soothsayers, who practiced vaticinating (prophesying) on the wild, snake-infested Mons Vaticanus were looked upon with great skepticism by the Romans.
The top of the Vatican Hill is 256 feet above sea level and more than 200 feet above St. Peter?s Square. The basilica hides the hill behind it.
?Affection, like melancholy, magnifies trifles; but the magnifying of the one is like looking through a telescope at heavenly objects; that of the other, like enlarging monsters with a microscope.?
? Pope Paul VI (1897-1978)
These heavenly gardens of the Vatican date to the Middle Ages. Vineyards and orchards extended north of the Apostolic Palace and Old St. Peter?s. In 1279 Pope Nicholas II enclosed this cultivated area with walls. Nicholas V (1397-1455) developed a series of gardens to be used in the ceremonies of the papal court, as well as for the pope?s personal enjoyment. In the early 16th century these gardens were transformed into the Belvedere Courtyard and the Pine Cone Courtyard.
Pope Pius XII didn?t want to see anyone during his daily walks in the Gardens, which were always at 4 pm; the gardeners would hide when they heard him approaching. By contrast, his successor, John XXIII, enjoyed chatting with the gardeners and others he met on his frequent strolls in the Gardens, which cover 40 acres.
?Render unto Caesar the things which are Caesar?s and unto God the things which are God?s.? One would like to add: Give unto man things which are man?s; give man his freedom and personality, his rights and religion.?
? Pope Pius XII (1876-1958)
Fontana dell?Aquila, 1611-12, was designed for Pope Paul V by the Dutch sculptor Jan van Santen. One of the heraldic symbols of the pope?s Borghese family, an eagle, tops the fountain, which is a compilation of artificial rock, formed by compacting large and small natural stones with plaster. It was built to celebrate the Pope?s rebuilding of an ancient aqueduct, the Acqua Paola, that brought water to the Vatican.
?Defenders of the Church?s freedom.?
The title granted the Swiss Guard in 1512 by Pope Julius II (1443-1513)
A replica of the Grotto of Lourdes was a gift from French Catholics in 1902.
Not far from Grotto of Lourdes is the Vatican heliport. For Pope John Paul II?s funeral services, heads-of-state and diplomats were brought into Vatican City by helicopter; they were then brought into the Basilica through the rear because St. Peter?s Square was packed with mourners, making it impassable. The heliport was a tennis court used by Allied diplomats, who lived in neutral Vatican City surrounded by Fascist Italy during the Second World War.
Priest-like, he wore a robe more white than foam,
And, king-like, swathed himself in royal red,
Three crowns of gold rose high upon his head:
In splendour and in light the Pope passed home.
From ?Easter Day? by Oscar Wilde
Garden styles vary throughout the grounds, from Italian formal arrangements to English natural settings.
Following the Lateran Treaty of February 1929, a great building plan took place within the gardens. Piazza Santa Marta was laid out, and the Mosaic Studio, the Railway Station, the Palazzo del Governatorato or Government Palace, the Ethiopian College and the Marconi Broadcasting Center (Vatican Radio) were built.

Read an Excerpt
Do You Want to Make a Difference?
Ignite people's passion for God and get out of their way.
Christians and Christian churches employ all kinds of strategies to influence their world.
We try to elect politicians who share our values and goals.
We strive to enact laws and policies that reflect our beliefs.
We attempt to expose people to Christian ideas and precepts through religious radio and television programming.
We hope to shape the minds of young people by enrolling them in Christian schools or by ensuring that God and His principles are not completely removed from the public school environment.
We use clever advertising campaigns and comprehensive direct marketing programs to encourage people to attend our churches or to develop a relationship with God.
We endeavor to get people to know Jesus by inviting them to evangelistic crusades, revivals, or other outreach events.
All such efforts are well intentioned and bear some fruit. But I would like to propose what I believe is a better strategy for growing the kingdom of God.
What would happen if we were to focus on the four out of every ten adults and one out of every three teenagers who have already asked Jesus Christ to be their Savior—and do everything we can to help them grow into inspired, unmistakable disciples of Jesus?
What would happen for God's kingdom if we did not consider our job complete when people confess their sins and say a prayer inviting Jesus to be their Redeemer, but would use their new commitments to Christ as a launching pad for a lifelong quest to become individuals who are completely sold out—emotionally, intellectually, physically, spiritually—to the Son of God?
Churches work hard at trying to expand and strengthen the kingdom of God with all types of creative and life-affecting ministries. Thousands of churches are currently fine-tuning their worship services to make them more attractive and compelling. The typical church labors to integrate numerous programs, classes, and other offerings into its menu of possibilities. Millions of dollars flow from church budgets into events each year in an effort to influence people's thinking and behavior. Literally billions of dollars are spent every year maintaining, upgrading, and expanding buildings and facilities to provide the space and equipment required for the ministries planned by the church. To appeal to people who have thus far turned a cold shoulder to God, churches and denominations launch sophisticated marketing campaigns that are designed to reposition churches and raise awareness of the things of God.
All of those activities can be justified by their intent and outcomes. But here's a better strategy: Ignite people's passion for God and get out of their way. When individuals are single-minded in their devotion to God, their commitment to His ways and His principles becomes much deeper, much more intense. Once they have made an enduring and serious commitment, the peripherals don't matter as much. They'll endure worship services that may not meet their exact specifications because their focus is on God, not themselves. They'll attend activities at times that are not optimally convenient because the most important reality is to experience God's presence. They will sacrifice more of their hard-earned money for the purposes of ministry because they recognize that they are stewards, not owners. They will gladly share their faith in Christ with nonbelievers because they understand their responsibility to other people and to God, and because they simply cannot contain their own excitement about the privilege of relating to God.
When you talk to pastors, church staff, and lay leaders across the nation you quickly discover that churches work hard to increase attendance figures, to provide a full range of programs, and to have adequate facilities to support a broad-based, inclusive ministry. The people and resources available for such ministry efforts represent a tremendous blessing from God.
But what if we were to change our standards? Suppose we were to de-emphasize attendance statistics, square footage, and income figures in favor of a commitment to depth and authenticity in discipleship? What if we were to redefine ministry success in these ways:
• congregants who worship not just on Sundays but every day of the week—not just in the sanctuary but wherever they are
• constant efforts by the laity to discover new insights into their faith and to convert that information into personal application
• complete submission to the Holy Spirit in both decision making and behavior
• hearts that are sensitive to sin and wounded every time they do something that offends God
• individuals who joyfully share their resources—time, money, skills, information, relationships, possessions—with those in need, especially those who share a love of Christ and a commitment to His people
• a deep commitment to building a lasting and life-changing community among those who profess Jesus Christ as their Savior and Lord
• spontaneous demonstrations of selfless compassion toward those in need of emotional, physical, financial, or spiritual assistance
• engagement in "organic evangelism"—the process of sharing one's faith in Christ in very natural and unforced ways, based on relationships with the recipients of the information and supported by lifestyle modeling
• people who live differently from the norm because of their faith, leading lives that conform to the dictates of Scripture without cutting corners or trying to interpret biblical passages for personal comfort or advantage
• a church body that projects (and lives up to) an image of being loving, caring, focused, and clear-minded in its pursuit of the ways of God
• individuals who are continually linked to God through prayer and meditation, as if they were "online" twenty-four hours a day with the ultimate spiritual power
• believers who take the initiative to use their gifts, skills, and training for the benefit of their church without having to be cajoled into serving

NICHOLS HILLS, Okla. (AP) - The police chief of Nichols Hills says an officer has fatally shot a suspected burglar after a confrontation.
Police Chief Richard Mask says officers received an emergency call about 8:30 a.m. Monday from a woman who says she heard glass breaking at a neighbor's house.
Mask says officers found a broken window in the back of the house and confronted the suspect in the house. That led to a foot chase. Mask says the burglar ran out through a neighbor's yard and driveway, where he was shot and killed.
Mask says the burglar appeared to be in his 20s. The man's identity has not been released and neither were the names of the officers involved.
Mask says the officer who fired the shot has been placed on routine administrative leave.

Hungary's media regulator said Thursday it had launched a probe into a pro-government newspaper's publication of comments by a columnist, Zsolt Bayer, describing the Roma minority as "animals".
"The Media Council has launched an inquiry against the [Magyar Hirlap] newspaper as one of its articles appears to violate the sections of the 2010 media law pertaining to press freedom and media content," Karola Kiricsi, spokesperson for the regulator, told AFP on Thursday.
Following a stabbing incident involving young Roma men, Bayer, a prominent rightwing journalist close to conservative Prime Minister Viktor Orban and one of the original founders of the governing Fidesz party, wrote: "Most Gypsies are not suitable for cohabitation. They are not suitable for being among people. Most are animals, and behave like animals."
"They shouldn't be tolerated or understood, but avenged. Animals should not exist. In no way," he said.
The probe follows a complaint about the article lodged on February 7 by the Office for the Protection of National and Ethnic Minorities (NEKI), a non-governmental organisation.
According to Erika Muhi, NEKI's director, Bayer broke a media law against published statements and opinions inciting hatred against a segment of society on ethnic, national, linguistic, or religious grounds.
"We are very happy the Media Council has launched the enquiry, and hope that Magyar Hirlap is suitably punished," Muhi told AFP.
After the remarks sparked protests in Hungary and abroad Bayer said his comments were "deliberately misinterpreted".
"I don't want to liquidate gypsies, neither a part of them, nor a single one," he said.
"I want order, I want every respectable Gypsy to be happy in this country and every Gypsy who is incapable of and unsuitable for living together to be excluded from society," he added.
The Roma people, also called Gypsies though many can consider that term pejorative, are a minority in several eastern European countries, including Hungary.

Diabetes Health Center
Got Type 2 Diabetes? Get Better Sleep
Sept. 18, 2006 -- If you've got type 2 diabetes, poor sleep may mean worse blood sugar control, a study shows.
The study included 161 blacks with type 2 diabetes. Those who reported getting too little sleep or poor-quality sleep tended to have worse blood sugar control than their well-rested peers.
The study appears in the Archives of Internal Medicine. The researchers included Kristen Knutson, PhD, of the University of Chicago's medicine department.
Knutson commented on the findings in a University of Chicago Medical Center News release.
"Although we can't be certain whether sleep loss makes diabetes worse or the diabetes interferes with sleep, it only makes sense for everyone, but especially patients with diabetes, to give themselves the opportunity to get enough sleep," Knutson says.
Sleep and Blood Sugar
Previous studies have shown that people without diabetes may be more likely to get diabetes or have problems controlling their blood sugar if they get insufficient or poor-quality sleep.
Knutson's team studied sleep and blood sugar in people with type 2 diabetes, which is the most common type of diabetes.
Participants answered questions about their weeknight sleep habits.
They reported how much sleep they got and how much sleep they thought they needed. They also rated the quality of their sleep.
The researchers also checked participants' hemoglobin A1c levels, which show how well blood sugar has been controlled for the previous three months.
Poor Sleep Common
Average weeknight sleep reported was six hours; that's on the skimpy side.
"Only 6% of patients reported obtaining at least eight hours of sleep on weeknights and only 22% obtained at least seven hours," the researchers write.
Sleep quality generally wasn't good, either. About seven in 10 participants were classified as having poor-quality sleep.
Hemoglobin A1c levels were worse in participants who said they got too little sleep and other participants who reported poor-quality sleep.
Those results held after screening out 39 people who said pain frequently disturbed their sleep.
Depression Depression , which can skew sleep habits, didn't affect the results, based on depression questionnaires that the patients completed.

Kurtz: Don't trust Washington Post reporting
posted at 10:20 am on September 19, 2008 by Ed Morrissey
Howard Kurtz issues a rather amazing analysis of John McCain's ad connecting Franklin Raines to Barack Obama. The Washington Post media analyst calls the basis of the McCain ad a "disputed premise" — despite his own newspaper's reporting on the Raines-Obama relationship:
Analysis: This John McCain ad is based on a disputed premise.
There's no dispute that Obama has no background in economics — but then, neither does McCain, which makes this an odd charge for the Arizona senator to hurl.
Fannie Mae did collapse, requiring a government takeover, and Raines, its former chairman, paid $25 million in April to settle a case brought by federal authorities investigating his role in the agency's accounting problems. But he has never been a close adviser to Obama.
I'm going to start this post by noting that I avidly read Kurtz' media blog, and consider it one of the best continuing analyses of both traditional and new media. I believe that Howard usually tries to approach this task without bias, and mostly succeeds, although he has certainly laid more that a few eggs (and who among us has not?). So when I tell you that Howard is talking out of his hat, I say it with respect and affection.
Why do I say that? His own newspaper has twice reported the relationship between Raines and Obama, and on one of those occasions, Raines was their source:
- 7/16/08: "In the four years since he stepped down as Fannie Mae's chief executive under the shadow of a $6.3 billion accounting scandal, Franklin D. Raines has been quietly constructing a new life for himself. He has shaved eight points off his golf handicap, taken a corner office in Steve Case's D.C. conglomeration of finance, entertainment and health-care companies and more recently, taken calls from Barack Obama's presidential campaign seeking his advice on mortgage and housing policy matters."
- 8/28/08: "In the current crisis, their biggest backers have been Democrats such as Senate Banking Committee Chairman Christopher J. Dodd (Conn.) and House Financial Services Committee Chairman Barney Frank (Mass.). Two members of Mr. Obama's political circle, James A. Johnson and Franklin D. Raines, are former chief executives of Fannie Mae."
Howard never mentions these articles. What are we to make of this omission, and of Howard's declaration of the relationship as a "disputed premise"? It seems that the lesson is that readers shouldn't trust the reporting at the Washington Post. After all, these articles contain no corrections and have not been retracted, and more to the point, never raised an objection from Barack Obama until now.
Howard needs to rethink his analysis, or the Post needs to start issuing retractions.
Addendum: Even TNR scoffs at the "dishonorable lie" response from Obama. At worst, McCain relied on undisputed reporting in the Post. I guess Obama is also saying that the Post can't be trusted.

Five Alien Elves (Hamlet Chronicles Series #3)by Gregory Maguire, Elaine Clayton, Elaine Clayton
View All Available Formats & Editions

On the night before Christmas, something is flying over Hamlet, Vermont, but it isn't a sleigh with reindeer. It's a UFO bearing five aliens on a mission: to free this planet from its evil dictator, a fat man in a red suit and a long white beard. Disguised as Earthlings--well, elves--they meet Mayor Grass, fresh from his annual appearance in Santa Claus costume, and capture him. It's up to Miss Earth's students, the Tattletales (all the girls except Pearl) and the Copycats (all the boys), to set aside their differences and concoct a rescue scheme.
In this Yuletide sequel to Seven Spiders Spinning and Six Haunted Hairdos, visitors from the Planet Fixipuddle join the familiar folks of Hamlet--Miss Earth, Grandma Earth, and the rival Tattletales and Copycats--in a comic extravaganza that is literally out of this world.
Gregory Maguire frequently writes and speaks on children's literature. The author of novels for adults and children, he lives in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

Crashing Through the Snow
in a Beat-Up UFO
'Twas the night before Christmas, and you know the rest. The stockings were hung by the chimneys with care and, in one house, Superglue. The youngest kids were already in bed. Many adults were saying, "If you don't go to sleep, SantaClaus is never going to come!"
Something was coming. But it wasn't Santa Claus.
In wobbly circles, an unidentified flying object was whisking over the town of Hamlet, Vermont. The UFO was shaped like a Big Mac, only without grease dripping from the bottom. If the night hadn't been so cold, maybe more people would have been out caroling. More folks would have sighted the UFO. But the few people who looked up thought they were seeing a shooting star. A shooting star doing loop-de-loops.
Inside the UFO, an argument was in progress.
"What's the matter with you? Where'd you get your license, the Milky Way Mall?" snorted Peppa, shaking her fingerpod at her younger brother.
"You think you can do a better job, try it," snapped Droyd. "The gravity on this planet is something fierce. I can't hold the wheel."
"You've had one glass of germ juice too many, you," said Peppa. "Get your mitts off that wheel and let me take over."
Droyd slid his oily green butt off the saddle and slithered over to the window. "It's a very strange world, Peppa," he said. "So white, and all those leafless, lifeless trees! I don't like it. I get a bad feeling. Let's alert the others. They can steer us out of this planet's gravity."
"We won't crash. I'm a great driver," said Peppa, as she twirled the steering wheel like a pro. "Now why don't you makeyourself useful? Find out if this place is inhabited. Try to pick up something on the radio-wave scanner."
"You mean the Galaxy Blaster?" said Droyd. He lifted a fingerpod and pressed a switch. Static screeched at once, like fingernails on blackboards. Peppa and Droyd didn't know what fingernails were, or blackboards. But they reacted the same way anyone in the universe does. They hunched up their shoulders (or what passed for shoulders). They clenched their teeth in the back of their mouths and tightened the lids around their eyes. "Is that how the locals speak? I'll never learn the language," said Droyd.
"You silly thing, you already learned the language. We're speaking it right now. Our WordSearch dials teach us any local dialect we're within brain waves of."
"Listen! I've got something!" Droyd's yellow eyes throbbed out of their sockets.
Though scratchy with interference, some musical words came through. 'We wish you a Merry Christmas, we wish you a Merry Christmas." Droyd looked at Peppa, not understanding. 'We wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year."
"What's a Hairy Crust-mess?" said Droyd.
"You are. Blow your noses, you're dripping," said Peppa meanly. She handed her brother some paper nose wipes. But the next thing they heard made even Peppa breathe in sharply.
Now bring us a figgy pudding,
now bring us a figgy pudding.
Now bring us a figgy pudding,
and bring it fight here!
"Oh, Peppa! " said Droyd. Tears formed behind his ears and dripped all the way down into his traveling socks. "It must be a message from the government. They know we're here! Five Fixipuddlings from the planet of Fixipuddle! They're calling for us! What shall we do?"
Peppa tried to look brave, but she trembled a little bit. And then the space ship started to shimmy. Were the guards of this planet sending out crashvibes to cause their little starship Loiterbug to falter? The on-line encyclopedia had said this planet was mild and somewhat backward. Peppa hadn't expected a hostile welcome!
"Droyd, I'm afraid we may be in for a bigger adventure than we expected," she said, biting her lips. "Perhaps you should go wake up Narr, Foomie, and Pimplemuss. If we're going down into captivity, we'd better all be awake and on our best behavior."
The shimmy became a shake, and the shake became a shudder. Peppa pulled up on the throttle and tried to activate the fibrillator fins, but something went wrong. "Droyd!" she screamed. "Everyone! Crash positions! Put on your safety socks! We're going down!"
Dasher and Dancer and
Prancer and So On
A couple of miles away, a holiday party was in full swing at the Josiah Fawcett Elementary School.
The children of Miss Earth's class were dizzy with good cheer. Well, why not? It felt strange to be in the classroom at night, especially since the classroom had been transformed.
All the desks were pushed back against the wall. Hanging from the light fixtures, pine boughs glittered with white lights. Tinsel dangled along the flagpole. Holly was bunched in the pencil jar. Swags of greenery looped from the chalk tray. Even the gerbil cage sported a sprig of plastic mistletoe, which the gerbils were munching on with gusto.
Pearl Hotchkiss staggered around, blindfolded, with a red rubber ball held out in her right hand. She was trying to Pin the Red Nose on Rudolph. (Hector Yellow, the best artist in the class, had sketched a picture of a noseless reindeer on the blackboard.) Pearl almost landed the nose on the toe of Miss Earth's stocking, which hung with fifteen others on the bulletin board. All her classmates screeched with laughter, so she backed up and tried again.
Miss Earth was blowing her nose into a hankie embroidered with patterns of holly and mistletoe. She had been out sick for the last few days of school due to a bad December cold. Her students had voted to postpone their holiday party until she was well enough to join them. Since Christmas Eve was the first available moment, a classroom party was jingle-belling along for another fifteen minutes. Then parents would arrive to pick up their kids.Five Alien Elves .

Not all MFA workshops are created equal. Eight writers and teachers describe their individual approaches to workshop and the culture of the classroom, revealing a range of aesthetic and pedagogical principles that reaffirm the value of writers coming together to share their work and learn from one another.
by Shannon Reed
Shannon Reed's friends didn't quite understand her decision to go back to school at the age of thirty-eight to earn an MFA. For writers thinking about returning to school as an older student, Reed provides a primer for what to expect, soliciting sage advice from several writers who made the same decision.
From programs with a social justice focus to editorial training and degrees in translation, many MFA programs feature unique elements beyond the traditional workshop model. Here, we round up eight programs across the country that offer something a little different.

Soliton structure of the Drinfel'd–Sokolov–Wilson equation27(1986); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.527110View Description Hide Description
An integrable equation due to Drinfel'd and Sokolov [Sov. Math. Dokl. 2 3, 457 (1981)] and Wilson [Phys. Lett. A 8 9, 332 (1982)] (DSW) is studied in detail. It is shown how this system can be obtained as a six‐reduction of the Kadomtsev–Petviashvili hierarchy. This equation presents a novel type of solutions called static solitons: they are static solutions that interact with moving solitons without deformations. Examples of such solutions are given, together with a general procedure for their construction. Finally the Painlevé analysis of the DSW equation is performed directly on the bilinear form, which constitutes a new application of the singularity analysis method.
Generalized Burgers equations and Euler–Painlevé transcendents. I27(1986); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.527111View Description Hide Description
Initial‐value problems for the generalized Burgers equation (GBE) u t +u β u x +λu α =(δ/2)u x x are discussed for the single hump type of initial data—both continuous and discontinuous. The numerical solution is carried to the self‐similar ''intermediate asymptotic'' regime when the solution is given analytically by the self‐similar form. The nonlinear (transformed) ordinary differential equations (ODE's) describing the self‐similar form are generalizations of a class discussed by Euler and Painlevé and quoted by Kamke. These ODE's are new, and it is postulated that they characterize GBE's in the same manner as the Painlevé equations categorize the Kortweg–de Vries (KdV) type. A connection problem for some related ODE's satisfying proper asymptotic conditions at x=±∞, is solved. The range of amplitude parameter is found for which the solution of the connection problem exists. The other solutions of the above GBE, which display several interesting features such as peaking, breaking, and a long shelf on the left for negative values of the damping coefficient λ, are also discussed. The results are compared with those holding for the modified KdV equation with damping.
The four‐dimensional conformal Kepler problem reduces to the three‐dimensional Kepler problem with a centrifugal potential and Dirac's monopole field. Classical theory27(1986); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.527112View Description Hide Description
The four‐dimensional conformal Kepler problem is reduced by an S 1 action, when the associated momentum mapping takes nonzero fixed values. The reduced Hamiltonian system proves to be the three‐dimensional Kepler problem along with a centrifugal potential and Dirac's monopole field. The negative‐energy surface turns out to be diffeomorphic to S 3×S 2, on which the symmetry group SO(4) acts. Constants of motion of the reduced system are also obtained, which include the total angular momentum vector and a Runge–Lenz‐like vector. The Kepler problem is thus generalized so as to admit the same symmetry group.
On an expression for the average resolvent using Grassmann integration27(1986); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.527113View Description Hide Description
The integral representation of the inverse of a determinant and the Grassmann representation of a determinant are used to derive an expression for the average resolvent for a Gaussian orthogonal ensemble. The expression is compared with the one obtained using Lagrangian formalism.
Asymptotics of the maximum number of repulsive particles on a spherical surface27(1986); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.527114View Description Hide Description
There are N equal particles interacting through a repulsive potential V(r)=A/r β ( β>0) placed insided the sphere. For β=1 (Coulomb case) and for all β<1, the minimum energy configuration will have all N particles on the inner surface of the sphere for any integer N. It is shown that starting from N=13 and for β>βcrit the minimum energy configuration will have only a fraction of particles on the inner surface while the rest of the particles will hang in the equilibrium inside the volume of the sphere. As far as β→1+, the maximum number of charges that can be held on the surface has an asymptotic N 0∼const/( β−1)2. For const, the gap 6<C<8 was found. The theory may be applicable to, e.g., ''magic numbers'' in small atomic clusters. Some problems that are not yet solved are listed.
Logarithmic corrections to the uncertainty principle and infinitude of the number of bound states of N‐particle systems27(1986); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.527115View Description Hide Description
It is shown that critical long‐distance behavior for a two‐body potential, defining the finiteness or infinitude of the number of negative eigenvalues of Schrödinger operators in ν dimensions, is given by v k (r)=−((ν−2)/2r ) 2−1/(2r ln r)2 +⋅⋅⋅−1/(2r ln r⋅ln ln r ⋅⋅⋅ ln(k) r)2, where k=0,1,... for ν≠2 and k=1,2,... if ν=2. This result is a consequence of logarithmic corrections to an inequality known as the uncertainty principle. If the continuum threshold in the N‐body problem is defined by a two‐cluster breakup the results presented generate corrections to the existing sufficient conditions for the existence of infinitely many bound states.
On the hydrogen‐oscillator connection: Passage formulas between wave functions27(1986); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.527064View Description Hide Description
Recent works on the hydrogen‐oscillator connection are extended to cover in a systematic (and easily computarizable) way the problem of the expansion of an R3 hydrogen wave function in terms of R4oscillatorwave functions. Passage formulas from oscillator to hydrogen wave functions are obtained in six cases resulting from the combination of the following coordinate systems: spherical and parabolic coordinate systems for the hydrogen atom in three dimensions, and Cartesian, double polar, and hyperspherical coordinate systems for the isotropic harmonic oscillator in four dimensions. These coordinate systems are particularly useful in physical applications (e.g., Zeeman and Stark effects for hydrogenlike ions and coherent state approaches to the Coulomb problem).
Comment on momentum in stochastic mechanics27(1986); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.527065View Description Hide Description
Stochastic mechanics is a probabilistic description of quantum systems in terms of stochastic differential equations. Davidson [M. Davidson, Lett. Math. Phys. 5, 523 (1981)] and de Falco, De Martino, and De Siena [D. de Falco, S. De Martino, and S. De Siena, Lett. Nuovo Cimento 3 6, 457 (1983)] have introduced momentum variables into this scheme. In this paper a discussion of this attempt is presented and some difficulties concerning the physical interpretation are pointed out.
The range of quantum probability27(1986); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.527066View Description Hide Description
The set of all pair (and in fact higher‐order) distributions that are representable in quantum mechanics is characterized and compared with the classical range. Various interference phenomena yield pair distributions that are not classical; a few examples are discussed. These results shed light on some fundamental problems concerning the interpretation of quantum mechanics, in particular it is demonstrated how the ''quantum logic'' of Birkhoff and Von Neumann can be naturally interpreted in terms of truth values. Finally, the possibility of interpreting quantum probability in a realistic ''quasiclassical'' way is explored.
Non‐Abelian Aharonov–Bohm effects, Feynman paths, and topology27(1986); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.527067View Description Hide Description
The Aharonov–Bohm effect in general gauge theories, for particles in gauge‐curvature‐free regions, is studied using the quantum mechanical propagator in the form of a Feynman sum over paths. Following Schulman [L. S. Schulman, T e c h n i q u e s a n d A p p l i c a t i o n s o f P a t h I n t e g r a t i o n (Wiley, New York, 1981)], such paths are divided into their homotopy equivalence classes, and the contributions from each class of paths of the Feynman sum are identified with propagators of a wave equation in the universal covering manifold of M, resulting in a simple form for the propagator on M. A group homomorphism from H, the fundamental homotopy group of M, to the gauge group G is shown to characterize possible Aharonov–Bohm effects, which can be divided into two types, Abelian and non‐Abelian, according to whether H*, the image of this homomorphism, is Abelian or non‐Abelian. For a non‐Abelian Aharonov–Bohm effect, it is necessary that both H and G be non‐Abelian. Simple examples illustrate the theory.
Reeh–Schlieder‐type density results in one‐ and n‐body Schrödinger theory and the ''unique continuation problem''27(1986); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.527068View Description Hide Description
A couple of Reeh–Schlieder‐type density results are proved to hold in one‐ and n‐body Schrödinger theory, that is, it is proved that states localized at time zero in an arbitrarily small open set of R n are already total after an arbitrarily small time (which implies much more than the well‐known acausal behavior of nonrelativistic theories). It is shown that there exists a close connection to the so‐called ''unique continuation property'' of elliptic partial differential operators. Furthermore, a certain machinery of analytic continuation is developed and the notion of generalized propagation kernels is introduced, which also might be of use elsewhere (e.g., in scattering theory).
Cosmologies with a noninteracting mixture of dust and radiation27(1986); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.527069View Description Hide Description
In this paper a particular class of anisotropiccosmologies, the Kantowski–Sachs models, is considered. It is assumed that the matter content of the models consists of a noninteracting mixture of ordinary matter (''dust'') and thermal radiation. A qualitative study by means of a three‐dimensional autonomous system is carried out, giving us the global behavior of the ''dust'' density, the radiation density, and the shear anisotropy during the models' evolution. All the models have past and future cosmological singularities where both the dust density and the radiation density diverge. A particular interesting result is a set of solutions of three‐measure zero, which is radiation dominated at one (past) singularity (of the ''point'' type) and evolving to a (future) singularity, where ordinary matter and thermal radiation become negligible.
Killing spinors and gravitational perturbations27(1986); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.527070View Description Hide Description
It is shown that in a vacuum space‐time, possibly with a nonzero cosmological constant, which admits a D(1,0) Killing spinor, one component of the perturbed Weyl spinor that satisfies a decoupled equation, when multiplied by an appropriate factor made out of the components of the Killing spinor, constitutes a Debye potential that generates metric perturbations of the considered background. It is also shown that in the case where the background is of type N, there is an operation that relates the gravitational perturbations and the zero‐rest‐mass fields of spin‐0, ‐ 1/2 , and ‐1.
Gravitational perturbations of algebraically special space‐times via the HH equation27(1986); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.527071View Description Hide Description
By using the approach to the Einstein field equations based on the existence of a congruence of null two‐dimensional surfaces, it is shown that a scalar potential that satisfies a second‐order linear partial differential equation generates gravitational perturbations of a given algebraically special solution of the Einstein vacuum field equations with cosmological constant. Generalizations of this result to the case of simultaneous perturbations of the gravitational and the matter fields are also indicated.
Parallel‐propagated frame along the geodesics of the metrics admitting a Killing–Yano tensor27(1986); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.527072View Description Hide Description
It is shown that the equations for a parallel‐propagated frame along geodesics can be solved explicitly by separation of variables assuming the existence of a valence‐2 Killing–Yano tensor that is indecomposable and such that the associated Killing tensor has no constant eigenvalue.
A method for generating exact Bianchi type II cosmological models27(1986); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.527073View Description Hide Description
A method for generating exact Bianchi type II cosmological models with a perfect fluid distribution of matter is presented. Two new classes of Bianchi type II solutions have been generated from Lorenz's solution [D. Lorenz, Phys. Lett. A 7 9, 19 (1980)]. A detailed study of physical and kinematic properties of one of them has been carried out.
Invariant operators for the n‐dimensional super‐Poincaré algebra and the decomposition of the scalar superfield27(1986); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.527074View Description Hide Description
An analysis of supersymmetric Kaluza–Klein theories is begun by obtaining the Casimir operators for the super‐Poincaré algebra in any number of dimensions. The knowledge of these operators is used to decompose the general scalar superfield in 11 dimensions into its irreducible parts. The irreducible superfields are expressed as products of Grassmann–Hermite functions and Grassmann–Bargmann–Wigner multispinor fields. Some Lagrangians for these superfields are written down. The formulation is off shell but global.
Superfield and irreducible superfield structure27(1986); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.527075View Description Hide Description
Field contents for scalar superfields in different numbers of dimensions are tabulated. Tables of field contents for some irreducible superfields included in the scalar superfield in 11 dimensions are also given.
Local properties of quantum systems27(1986); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.527386View Description Hide Description
Local properties of a quantum system are defined as the expectation values of its observables in a microstate of some complete set of commuting observables. An equation for the time evolution of local properties is obtained for any system whose statistical operator (density matrix) evolves by unitary transformation in accordance with the von Neumann equation. The formalism is applied to the example of a system of one particle. In this case the local properties are fields, the time‐evolution equation is an equation of continuity with source terms. For constants of motion the source terms vanish, giving equations of continuity for the fields. For each scalar field a flux vector for its transport current is defined. For momentum, a stress tensor is obtained. The effects on local properties of realization of a latent ensemble of the statistical operator (an entropy‐increasing mechanism recently proposed to explain approach to equilibrium) are also considered; a non‐negative local entropy production is identified, as well as a discontinuous redistribution of local properties among microstates.
Wave vector dependent susceptibility of a free electron gas in D dimensions and the singularity at 2k F27(1986); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.527076View Description Hide Description
The static susceptibility of a free electron gas in D dimensions at T=0 is obtained by techniques of dimensional regularization. Our solutions for the susceptibility χ(k,D) are given in terms of the hypergeometric function. For any integer dimensions analytic expressions are possible. The high‐ and low‐k series solutions are shown to be related by an analytic continuation if D is an odd integer, but not related if D is an even integer. The singularity at 2k F is a branch point, whereupon the series solutions are absolutely convergent, yielding χ(k=2k F,D)=(D−1)− 1. The relationship of χk D has the appearance of a PVT diagram.

Electric Power Generation, Transmission, & Distribution Industry Safety & Health
Working together for a safer workplace. Teamwork is the key.
The risk for electrocution, falls, amputations broken bones, and strain injuries are just some examples of hazards many workers in the electrical power industry face every day.
Use key prevention methods, such as the following:
- Accident prevention program.
- Job hazard analysis.
- Hazard assessment for PPE.
- Fall protection work plan.
- Training on hazards recognition and prevention.
Provide a safe work environment for workers to return home safe.
Preventive efforts make good business sense when you begin to consider the possible costs associated with a tragic incident. In addition to the immeasurable human costs (financial, physical, emotional burdens on families and communities) the financial, personnel, productivity, and even regulatory costs to a business will quickly add up.

Um, The Hold MF Steady
They're actually true, all the things people have been saying about this band. They shredded the Crocodile stage last night. I wasn't sure what to make of the singer's mildly spastic hand-clap-arm-thrust-shout-to-himself-off-mic moves (retarded? making fun of retards? who's to say), but I loved watching them happen (often framed by a guitarist-bassist high five tableau in the immediate background). Also, he's smart and funny; his lyrics and the delivery are the ideal reconciliation of being white and loving hiphop. It's like this: if you're old enough to need a reminder of why you once thought rock'n'roll (not just music, but rock'n'roll) was worth devoting your life to, The Hold Steady are about the best one you could hope for.
I've been hearing about this band for years from one or two people; my only regret was waiting to fully investigate until now that they're the rock crit praise sponge of the day (and because I love their new record, Separation Sunday). But, as the singer said near the end of the set (with Stranger writer Hannah Levin stage dancing to his right like a drunken hoodrat), "I didn't come here to talk about my problems. I came here to play some rock'n'roll music." They're a party I wish I'd been at all night. I came late, but I'm not leaving.

I'm working on this site.
I'm experiencing an issue with hovering related to the one and only child page (under> ORDER). It seems that the field that links to the child page comes in on the parent page level/area, since if you hover over ORDER towards the bottom of the word, it already links to the child page (SOUP DESCRIPTIONS). And, moreover, when you then move the cursor to "CATERING" which is to the right of ORDER, it does not link at all because it is still linking to the subpage.
Where and what edits can be made to correct this, so that the linking to the childpage only occurs in the area directly on the title of the child page, and not spilling into the main parent area?
I am due to learn something new here...
I appreciate any information shared or support given.

Marvel Assembles an Official Title for Third "Avengers" Movie
Comic Books, Film
Marvel has reteamed with corporate sibling ESPN to commemorate LeBron James' return to Cleveland with a special cover for ESPN The Magazine.
The illustration by Miguel Sepulveda, depicting James soaring above the city, is a sequel to the magazine's 2010 homage to "Spider-Man No More!" that marked his departure for the Miami Heat.
Marvel will launch a five-part miniseries next spring based on the Disney Parks roller coaster Big Thunder Mountain Railroad.
Teased Saturday with posters at the Disneyland and a Magic Kingdom attractions before an official announcement, the comic is the third series in the Disney Kingdoms line, following Seekers of the Weird and Figment.
Auctions | A rare copy of The Beano #1 from July 1938 — only about 25 copies are believed to exist — is being auctioned on eBay by Seaford, England, dealer Phil Shrimpton. With just four days remaining, the opening bid of £3,499 (about $5,875 U.S.) has yet to be met. As you can see on the website, the copy certainly isn't in the best shape. The issue, which sold a reported 442,963 copies when it was released, introduced such characters as original cover star Big Eggo the ostrich, Lord Snooty, Wee Peem and Ping the Elastic Man (the racist caricature in the magazine's logo is Little Peanut, who stuck around on the cover until 1947, when he was replaced by Big Eggo). "Every year or so another one seems to emerge – often found in someone's attic," Shrimpton says. "People didn't really look at comics as collector's items until the sixties and seventies, so lots of them got destroyed. Also a lot of the comics were destroyed during the war as people were more conscious about recycling the old issues." [The Argus]
Every hero needs to experience their first team-up, and Anthony Smith, a.k.a. Blue Ear, got to do that this past week. It didn't start with the typical fight that such meetings usually start with, but then again, this wasn't a typical team-up.
Last year Anthony's mom, Christina D'Allesandro, reached out to Marvel after her son Anthony Smith told he wasn't going to use his hearing aid anymore because "superheroes don't have blue ears." Marvel Editor Bill Rosemann responded first with evidence of Hawkeye's hearing loss in the 1980s and then with artwork by Nelson Ribeiro and Manny Mederos depicting Anthony Smith as the superhero Blue Ear.
The story caught the attention of media and families with hearing-impaired children. It also caught the eye of Phonak, the largest distributor of hearing aids in the world. They worked with Marvel Custom Solutions, which regularly works with companies and organizations to create custom comics, on a poster that's being distributed to pediatric audiology clinics. Written by Christos Gage and drawn by Paco Medina, the poster features Iron Man and a hearing-impaired boy who just wants to be treated like any other kid.
And this past week, Blue Ear attended an event at the Center for Hearing and Communication to debut the poster — as well as to meet fellow superhero Iron Man.
"When Christina told us about Anthony, she taught us about some of the unique challenges that children who wear hearing aids face," Rosemann told Marvel.com. "When our friends at Phonak heard about how the Marvel heroes helped him, they realized how together we could help spread the message even further."
Check out the poster below, and head over to Marvel.com to see more pictures of Blue Ear and Iron Man's first team-up.
Marvel sprang into action last year to help convince a 4-year-old boy that, yes, superheroes do wear hearing aids, and now the publisher is taking the inspirational message to hearing-impaired children across the country.
As you may recall, Christina D'Allesandro reached out to Marvel last spring after her son Anthony Smith told he wasn't going to use his hearing aid anymore because "superheroes don't have blue ears." The company responded first with evidence of Hawkeye's hearing loss in the 1980s and then with artwork by Nelson Ribeiro and Manny Mederos depicting Anthony Smith as the superhero Blue Ear, who even has his own Wikipedia entry. The story was picked up by international media, leading D'Allesandro to receive emails from from across the globe from the parents of hearing-impaired children.
Dec. 12, marks a new era and a new team dynamics for writer Jeff Parker's Dark Avengers as Issue 184 goes on sale. But before the new storyline begins, I convinced Parker to reflect on his Thunderbolts/Dark Avengers run, which started in November 2009 (Thunderbolts #138) as well as discussing what lies ahead with the series. It was interesting to learn his thought process when collaborating with past series artists like Kev Walker and Declan Shalvey, as well as what current artist Neil Edwards motivates Parker to tackle. This interview was a fun romp for me, full of surprises — none more than the first: that Parker nearly passed on writing the series.
Once you finish the interview, please chime in if you agree that Parker should get a chance to write a Man-Thing series for Marvel. And if you missed CBR's Dave Richards' interview with Parker regarding Red She-Hulk, be sure to read it to learn about more great Parker storytelling.
Tim O'Shea: You started writing Thunderbolts/Dark Avengers in November 2009. Could you have envisioned it would be a book you would still be writing a solid three years later?
Jeff Parker: No, I almost passed on it. When Bill Rosemann asked me if I'd be interested in coming on after Andy Diggle. I'd never read much of the title, and he described that they wanted to base it around The Raft superprison. And I was wary. "It's all set in prison? They never go anywhere?" But Bill and Tom Brevoort assured me that they'd be able to go on missions, it just needed to have prison as a big backdrop; that's what had been discussed at one of the Marvel summits. Bill had asked me because I'd just worked on The Hood sequel miniseries with him and Kyle Hotz and he thought I'd be good for continuing with a villain book.
When a 4-year-old from New Hampshire didn't want to wear his hearing aid, Hawkeye came to the rescue — with a lot of help from the Marvel Bullpen.
As we reported yesterday, Christina D'Allesandro's son Anthony Smith didn't want to wear his "blue ear" hearing aid because he said superheroes didn't wear them. So she sent a blind email to Marvel, hoping that maybe that wasn't true and they could point to one who did.
"Christina sent her touching letter in to the email@example.com address, a general 'fan mail' account which is shared by a group of us in editorial," Marvel Editor Bill Rosemann told Robot 6. "She didn't know a specific person to write to here at Marvel, and even figured it might get caught in our spam filters, but she sent it in anyway, because that's the kind of great parent Christina is. And it was her inspiring effort to help her son that touched so many of us here. As a fellow parent of a toddler, I can understand where she's coming from, so I forwarded the email around the rest of Editorial, asking what we could do to help, and like when Cap yells, 'Avengers Assemble,' the gang leapt into action."
Rosemann said the mail account gets a lot of traffic, the majority of which are messages from fans about specific issues or stories.
Comics | When 4-year-old Anthony Smith didn't want to wear his hearing aid because superheroes don't wear them, his mother emailed Marvel to ask if they had any pictures of superheroes wearing a hearing aid. Not only did Marvel editor Bill Rosemann respond with an image of the cover of 1984's West Coast Avengers #1, which featured Hawkeye wearing a hearing aid, he also had artist Nelson Ribeiro transform Anthony into a superhero, Blue Ear.

Passings | The Comics Journal collects tributes to Maurice Sendak, the legendary children's book author and illustrator who passed away Tuesday at age 83. Philip Nel, director of Kansas State University's Program in Children's Literature, also writes an obituary for the influential creator of Where the Wild Things Are. [TCJ.com]
Publishing | In an interview with the retail news and analysis site ICv2, IDW Publishing President and CEO Ted Adams says that while digital sales are at 10 percent of print sales, both are going up: "There's just no question at this point that selling comics digitally is definitively not impacting [print] comic book sales. If anything you could make the argument that the success of digital is driving more print comic book sales. The correlation at this point is that increased digital has resulted in increased print. Whether or not that is a direct correlation, I don't know how you would figure that out. I can say with no uncertainty that our increased digital revenue has come at a time when we've had increased comic book sales." [ICv2]
Comics | John Jackson Miller slices and dices the October numbers for the direct market, noting that overall dollar orders for comic books, trade paperbacks, and magazines topped $40 million for the first time since September 2009. Orders rose 6.9 percent over September, the first month of DC's relaunch. "While that may sound counter-intuitive, it isn't when you consider that all those first issues continued to have reorders selling through October," Miller writes. "Retailers with an eye on the aftermarket may also have some sense that second issues are historically under-ordered — something which goes at least back to the experience of G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero #2 in the 1980s, which wound up being much more valuable than its first issue." [The Comichron]
Passings | Tom Spurgeon reports that author Les Daniels has passed away. Daniels wrote horror fiction and nonfiction books on the comic industry, which include Comix: A History of the Comic Book in America, Marvel: Five Fabulous Decades of the World's Greatest Comics and DC Comics: Sixty Years of the World's Favorite Comic Book Heroes. [The Comics Reporter]
Today marks the release of Black Panther: The Man Without Fear 514, the second issue of writer David Liss' run documenting Black Panther's effort to defend Hell's Kitchen in Daredevil's absence. In this email interview, Liss shares his appreciation of secret identities, as well as his interest in immigrant crime families and organizations, among other topics. As detailed by Marvel, this latest issue features: "Luke Cage guest stars as T'Challa's new adventure in NYC continues! The former King of Wakanda has sworn to protect the mean streets of Hell's Kitchen, and while battling the mob is one thing, how does he stop a killer targeting innocent people? It's a deadly game of cat-and-mouse, as T'Challa hunts ruthless new crime lord Vlad the Impaler, while Vlad concocts a desperate and bloody scheme to entrap the mysterious new vigilante that's ruining his plans." My thanks to Marvel editor Bill Rosemann for the art he provided for us to share with Robot 6 readers.
Tim O'Shea: In taking an assignment placing the Black Panther in Hell's Kitchen, what factors appealed to you most in taking the assignment?
David Liss: I loved the idea of taking a very powerful figure, stripping him of his abilities, and placing him in a new environment. Characters are most interesting when they face challenges and obstacles, and this seemed a great opportunity to take a headstrong, confident hero and put him in situations in which he would have to grow, adapt and be uncomfortable. Plus it's Hell's Kitchen, which means there will be lots of ass-kicking. I thought the concept rocked.
The writing team of Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning have come back down to Earth and the streets of Marvel with the new Heroes for Hire (H4H) series, which premiered in December. After reading the first issue, which ended with a spectacular plot curve ball, I wanted to find out more about the series. This Wednesday, January 5, marks the release of issue 2–featuring Ghost Rider and Silver Sable. Despite his busy comics and prose writing schedule, Abnett was kind enough to do a brief email interview about the series–and offer readers a chance make hero hire suggestions for future issues.
Tim O'Shea: After working in space with myriad Marvel universe alien species, what's the most enjoyable aspect to getting to also dabble in the "nitty, gritty, human vigilante street action of Heroes for Hire" as you recently described it.
Dan Abnett: The change of pace, really. Bill Rosemann, our editor, asked us if we'd like to do something that was a contrast to the cosmic stuff we've been doing, and the first thing Andy and I ever did for Marvel US was a year or so's run on the Punisher in the early 1990s. So we decided to go 'back on the streets'.

I'm finding that C4 projects, and only C4 projects, do not recognise connected iOS devices.
The run menu only shows "iOS Device".
This isn't a problem with any of my other Xcode projects.
I'm using a iphone4s running ios 5.1.1, and i realize the base sdk is set to iOS 6. This is the case with other projects though and I'm not encountering this issue there.
okay, the problem was that i had project build setting 'deployment target' = 6.0 for a 5.1.1 device.. i only knew about 'base sdk' until now :)

Hello. I am looking to setup a site that will manage multiple sport leagues (leaguemanager looks quite promising).
However I'm wondering if a network(MU) would be the way to go and structure it like this?
- Main Site
-- Sport 1 site
-- Sport 2 site
-- Sport 3 site
Then somehow allow users to have 1 account, but still access multiple-sport sites each with their own leaguemanager installation?

Fletcher Allen changing nameJune 20,2014
BURLINGTON — Fletcher Allen Health Care, Vermont's largest hospital, is planning to change its name to The University of Vermont Medical Center this fall, officials said Thursday.
The new name is a brand strategy intended to reflect the tie with UVM and collaboration among hospitals, officials said.
"The new name reflects our teamwork — today and for the months and years to come," said Fletcher Allen President and Chief Executive Officer Dr. John Brumsted.
Fletcher Allen Partners, which is made up of four hospitals in Vermont and northern New York, will change its name to The University of Vermont Health Network.
As part of the name change, Central Vermont Medical Center in Berlin will use its name together with The University of Vermont Health Network. CVPH Medical Center in Plattsburgh, New York, will become Champlain Valley Physicians Hospital and use that name in conjunction with The University of Vermont Health Network, as will Elizabethtown Community Hospital in New York.MORE IN This Just InBENNINGTON A Bennington woman was hospitalized following an early morning fire.

I am having trouble specifying the location of S3 web folder in VideoZen config tab. When I put the location path to the S3 web folder, the path to the folder appears twice in the video source tag. So the path is something like '.../path/to/S3/videos', and in the source tag I see that the "src='.../path/to/S3/videos/path/to/S3/videos'". I am not sure what I am doing wrong. When I copy the link to the source and remove the duplicated path, the video runs fine. How do I exactly specify the S3 web folder location?
Also, can you add a feature so that the source link can have authorization part so it expires after sometime and the link is invalid?
Thank you.

I have a Windows 7 laptop that I want to encrypt with TrueCrypt. I could create a Virtual Encrypted Disk, which appears to be a file that is mounted as a drive, and then I can store the files I want encrypted on that drive. I could also encrypt my entire Windows partition (which is my entire C:\ drive).
Which one should I choose and why? What circumstances make one better/worse than the other?

Why Thunderbird?
"I was attracted to Thunderbird because I knew it would afford me the opportunity to work and interact with highly intelligent and diversified students. Thunderbird has an excellent reputation and group of professors. I knew Thunderbird would act as a catalyst to help me achieve my goals and amplify my personal philosophy to positively impact the lives of others. All in all, I believe Thunderbird will offer me opportunities to expand my talents as a leader, inspire and motivate others, and achieve extraordinary results."

Personal tidbit -
How is Thunderbird a perfect fit for you?
"I've always been curious by nature and have never been afraid to ask questions. I believe life is short and our goal should be to make the best out of every situation we have: to adapt, to innovate and ultimately to impact our surroundings positively. T-birds are known for making impacts around the world and that is the type of mission I can identify with wholeheartedly. Plus, through my work experience I have learned that working in a team is extremely important and knowing when to step up and take charge or take responsibility is equally important. This belief has definitely help to shape me as a good fit for Thunderbird."
What attracted you to Thunderbird for your graduate business studies?
"Thunderbird inspired me to think outside of my comfort zone. The school truly has a global mindset and realizes that the world is becoming more connected. Thunderbird's diverse student body is represented by over 60 countries, which provides international exposure to another degree. Thunderbird's goal ultimately supports my goal: to be adaptable by gaining the necessary skills to thrive in any global climate."
What does Thunderbird offer that other business schools do not?
"Thunderbird makes you feel like part of the family from the start, and that explains why the school has such a successful alumni network of 40,000 strong. Thunderbird's strength is its network of people and access to individuals who work and live in over 140 countries, who have experienced everything I have experienced and will experience while on campus."
Where do you hope your Thunderbird experience will take you?
"After graduating from Thunderbird, I plan to begin my career in the private equity industry. I have a deep interest in finance and hope to gain valuable experience. I believe that my interactions with fellow innovative students and faculty will forge a stronger sense of self awareness and development, cementing my vision of constructing true opportunities for myself and other individuals."

Reload the page and try again.
Overall Experience:
The professors are cool. they work with you in their office hours. They just want to see you succeed.
Overall Experience:
There are a lot of internships at the hospital you just have to talk to the career services.
Health & Safety:
The security guards roam all the time and its pretty safe.
Campus Housing:
I like living on campus because its like little apartments. I can cook my own food if i want to.
Greek Life:
They bring life to the campus.
Everyone has a lot of school spirit.
Overall Experience:
I would recommend it for anyone trying to get an actual education and not trying to party all the time and waste money.
Overall Experience:
The best education and school I could have ever went to.
Academics are a priority at this school. The professors are generally amazing and helpful, but definitely tend to have a larger than average workload. There are many options available for help/tutoring. The registration process can be a pain but advisers are very quick to respond to complaints and calls for help.
This school has a very diverse community. Students come from all kinds of places and backgrounds.
Overall Experience:
While there are things that I would like to change about the school, it is definitely a good fit for me and deserves it's accolades as one of the best schools in the area.
Overall Experience:
The career center on campus is very helpful in trying to give students access to job and internship opportunities and in helping students gain those positions. However, the area has few openings and they are very competitive.
Health & Safety:
Campus crime is extremely low. I generally feel safe when alone on campus and I feel that the campus police are very receptive to concerns that are brought to them.
Greek Life:
Greek Life is an active part of the campus but it isn't imperative to join in order to feel included on campus.
This school focuses more on academics than athletics, as shown by the fact that there are very few sports teams.
Overall Experience:
This school is without a doubt one of the best in my area for my field. I was shocked by how many students come from all over the state just to attend because of that. The professors and staff are generally friendly, helpful, and enthusiastic about the school and their jobs. I have had little complainants about my professors because most of them are very knowledgeable about their fields and receptive to students questions and to helping students understand the content of their class.
Party Scene:
The city has plenty of bars and restaurants to go to for nightlife activities.
Party Scene:
The Greeks throw most parties and it would be great if they threw more parties.
There are many programs that the students can get involved with. The professors are skilled in their field and there are plenty of research opportunities.
It's okay. It's somewhat diverse but not extremely different in the student body.
Overall Experience:
Augusta University has great classes with some good and some bad professors but for the most part they are great. The classes are really fun and easy for students and they have many class options for students.
Overall Experience:
The school has a great reputation of graduates finding jobs especially in the surrounding Augusta community.
Health & Safety:
The Campus Public Safety are the best at protecting us. They are super friendly and love to stop and chat with students to check up on them to see if they have any concerns.
Campus Housing:
They are just about to open up new dorms for Freshman and Graduate students and they are great!
Greek Life:
The Greek Life on campus is good but it could be a lot better since most of the fraternities and sororities don't have housing.
