Introduction A clearer understanding of the factors involved in improving lifting-capacity may assist professional health workers to enhance patient's functioning and minimize chronic back pain. However, few studies have examined this association. This study is part of a trial comparing two secondary back pain prevention programs. It aims to identify anthropometric, physical, psychic and demographic baseline variables (baseline model), and over time change variables (comprehensive model), which explain the alteration of lumbar isoinertial lifting-capacity, from baseline to post-treatment. Methods The association between these variables' baseline- or change values, and the change of lifting-capacity (PILE-test) over time, were analyzed with multiple regression analyses. Potential variables for the regression analyses were identified within a standardized stepwise selection process. Results In the baseline model, 35.2% of the variance in lifting-capacity was mainly explained by a low baseline score of lumbar lifting-capacity, high body weight and gender. In the comprehensive model, 41.9% could be mainly explained by the same baseline variables, an increase of perceived exertion during the PILE-tests and decrease of fear-avoidance caused by work. Conclusions The results suggest that treatments to improve lifting-capacity in individuals with mild low back pain should particularly address the reduction of fear-avoidance beliefs. Although strong conclusions cannot be drawn from this study due to methodological limitations, they may be helpful to assign patients to appropriate and most beneficial treatment programs, as well as to develop specific programs. Fear-reduction may be an important target for early interventions in regard to functional capacity.

Fiona, a 1-year-old, brown domestic shorthair tabbie, came to New Beginnings Animal Rescue with her two kittens ľ Fisher and Falcon. The kittens have both been adopted, but Fiona still needs to find a home of her own.
ôShe was found by a resident left in a home with her kittens, so we were glad to take them in,ö said Lisa Hill of New Beginnings. ôSheĺs been a wonderful part of the New Beginnings family, but now itĺs time for her to find a family of her very own.ö
According to Hill, Fiona is very affectionate.
ôIn fact, sheĺs one of the most cuddly cats weĺve had in quite some time,ö Hill said. ôShe likes to be held, she likes to be brushed. She will play a little bit, but prefers to just kind of cuddle up on your lap or be carried around.ö
Hill says that Fiona is a ôpeople person.ö
ôShe gets along great with all of our volunteers, especially our junior volunteers,ö Hill said. ôIf youĺre looking for a cat that would make a good first pet for your kids, Fiona would be your girl.ö
All animals available for adoption through New Beginnings have been spayed or neutered and have all their shots. To adopt Fiona, fill out an application online at nbarmichigan.org, or stop by the New Beginnings Adoption Center at 2502 Rochester Road in Royal Oak and meet her in person.
For Adoption Center hours or more information, call 248-543-4070 or email email@example.com.

ACD had 20 employees, family and friends join our team, The Pink Meeples, on a brisk October morning to help raise money and awareness for breast cancer research. This is a cause that ACD is very passionate about and we know that every little bit counts. The Madison date raised $29,402 for the event series. We are so appreciative of our employees and friends that joined us on Saturday. We hope to be back next year with a bigger and better team to show our support.

When you start writing your life's stories, you may wonder what to put in and what to leave out. Should you mention that time you got arrested, or when your best friend betrayed you? What about your difficult relationship with your dad? What if telling your stories will reveal someone else's secrets?
Writing your life story can raise questions about how to be fair and honest, and what stories of your life should keep private. Story of My Life workbook author and guest blogger Sunny Morton has three quick things to consider when you start writing your family history:
After considering these questions, you may still see the need to reveal confidences, but you may approach it more sensitively.
My new book Story of My Life guides you through the process of deciding what stories to tell, telling them (including lessons learned) honestly, and focusing on what's most important. You'll find hundreds of memory prompts and reflection questions about the people and events of your past. Story of My Life is available as an easy-to-use softcover workbook and as a writeable PDF—just type your answers and save them in a preformatted document you can print or share as you like.
Recording your own history can be a rewarding experience, both personally and for your genealogy research—you never know what clues you'll recall! But it can be frustrating when you don't remember certain things as clearly as you'd like. Below are four strategies to jog your memories. Use these to evoke the feelings and facts of specific time periods, people, places or events in your past:
In the end, you still may not remember every detail as crisply as you'd like. But life-story writing is rewarding when it's about your feelings and thoughts about the past, not just the memories themselves. Take special note of how your perceptions of the past may have changed (or not). Reflect on how an event or person changed you—even if you don't recall them perfectly. Note life lessons you took away with you, particularly those that have guided your life since. Write these things down.
A guided journal such as my new book Story of My Life is the perfect place to capture your thoughts and memories. It's organized by time period and contains hundreds of memory prompts and reflection questions. There are plenty of places to record specific memories and celebrate special relationships. Story of My Life is available as an easy-to-use softcover workbook and as a writeable PDF—just type your answers and save them in a pre-formatted document you can print or share as you like.
Want to dig into your past? Guest blogger and author of the Story of My Life workbook Sunny Jane Morton shares three quick tips for recalling childhood memories:
What do you remember from your childhood? If you're like most people, the answer may be, "Not much." The older you get, the more remote and vague your youngest years may seem. That can be so frustrating when you want to document your life story (and the first chapter is missing!) or bring to mind clues from your childhood that would help you research your family history.
When starting to piece together your childhood memories, try following these three steps:
Learn more about each of these steps—from writing down and fleshing out vague memories to researching their contexts—in the Story of My Life workbook by Sunny Jane Morton. This life-story writing guide is packed with memory-jogging journaling prompts and more tips for fleshing out your life's most meaningful stories. Story of My Life is available as an easy-to-use softcover workbook and as a writeable PDF—just type your answers and save them in a pre-formatted document you can print or share as you like.
This is a helpful way to get a big picture of where your
family branches migrated over time, see where families connected
or branched off, and note geographic similarities (in my research,
for example, I've noticed that most of my Germans on Mom's and
Dad's side came from the same area in what's now Germany).

"Styal (Near Wilmslow)" Wilmslow by bugalugs
Wilmslow Travel Guide: 35 reviews and 80 photos
Samuel Greg came from a merchant family in Belfast. He came over to Manchester in England and was adopted by his uncle.
The Greg family, including five generations stayed in the textile industry for almost 200 years.
Quarry Bank Mill was given by the family to the National Trust in 1939 and in 1959 production finished.
However today this mill is a wonderful place to visit, with many hands on experiences that children will love.
It also gives a great insight into our industrial heritage.
Many parties of school children visit here during the week. My son did when he was learning about this in his junior school. His music teacher then wrote a play/musical based on the apprentice children who worked in the mill which was a great success.
The North West of England has at one time a huge textile industry sadly, those times have more or less now gone.
However, this mill does produce 'Styal Calico' and you can buy various things in the gift shop.
- Pros:A wonderful place to visit
- Cons:�2.50 to park your car!!!!!!

I spent much of my childhood in Wilmslow during the war -there was still a smithy on the main road & Romany's caravan was parked opposite my G.Parents house in Parkway. Yr pages bring back so many memories . Thanks!
I was wondering what breed that tethered dog might be :-))) Another very interesting page of yours, Dianne. Are you sure foreigners can be members of National Trust?
Styal Mill is a great day out-you really get a feel for how it used to be. Great page.
I love places like this, perhaps we`ll have time for a weekend `up North` soon
I live so close to this and didnt even know of its exsistence, I will make sure I visit next year in the summer, thanks for all the info
Love these pages, and the pics of you with Teddy! Looks so interesting...
Beautiful ,historic village looks like the kind of place I could relly enjoy. Fantastic tour,Di !!
Now, this is the kind of place I like to visit. Anything dealing with history about 150 years ago or more. Always happy to see a new location for VT on this sight. Thanks, Dianne!.
It's a real pleasure to read that amazing page and to see the beautiful shots you took
So much to see there, I would visit with pleasure!

Charles E. "Charlie" Ball, an influential agricultural writer and long-time executive vice president for the Texas Cattle Feeders Association and advocate for other agricultural organizations, died Sunday.
He was 82.
Services for Ball will be Tuesday in St. Paul United Methodist Church.
Ball's first job came in 1948 when he became associate director of Southern Agriculturist in Nashville, Tenn. From 1951 to 1972, Ball was regional editor for Farm Journal magazine.
Ball's reporting and writing about the burgeoning cattle-feeding industry led to his position as executive vice president of the Texas Cattle Feeders Association in Amarillo in September 1972.
"He had an opportunity observe and report on it from its very beginning," said Burt Rutherford, communications director for the TCFA, which was organized in 1967. "He understood the industry. He saw it born."
Ball served as executive vice president for the TCFA until he retired in 1989, but remained busy helping state and national associations with organization, bylaws and strategic planning.
Friends and colleagues on Sunday remembered Ball as a visionary in the cattle-feeding industry who helped guide it to the success it has in Texas today. They also remembered him as a man of personality and faith.
"He was very personable," said Don McCasland, chairman-elect of the board of directors for the TCFA, who knew Ball since he became executive vice president of the TCFA. "He was always interested in what you were interested in.
"What makes a good leader is being a good servant and being interested in people. I thought the world of him."
McCasland also remembered Ball as a man who was able to find and hire the very best people he could for the TCFA.
"I told Charlie one day, 'Charlie, I can't believe that you always surround yourself with such excellent people,'" McCasland said. "He would reach out and get the strongest people in the entire industry to come in on programs and to counsel with us or to guide us in a direction."
Rutherford said the TCFA and the Panhandle has benefited from the hard work of Ball, who will leave a legacy as a visionary for the cattle feeding industry.
"He had the vision to see what it could become and then had the drive and the strength of personality and the organizational skills and people skills to make that vision happen," Rutherford said. "But on a personal side, I think what we have lost is a man of very strong faith, a very good person and a person of amazing energy."

Why do you get chills during labor?
Chills or shaky, jittery feelings during labor are very common. Usually they happen as a woman is going through transition — that's when her cervix is dilated about eight or nine centimeters — or sometimes it happens after delivery.
The chills are probably caused by a number of things that are happening — an endorphin release, body temperature changes and/or a reaction to anesthesia. The chills tend to go away about a half hour after labor.

China's Pakistan Conundrum
The End of the All-Weather Friendship
China is often called an "all-weather friend" to Pakistan -- a strategic partner, a reliable source of trade and aid, and Islamabad's closest military ally. Pakistani Prime Minister Yousef Raza Gilani has described the friendship between the two countries as "higher than mountains, deeper than oceans, stronger than steel, and sweeter than honey." In September, he told the visiting Chinese Public Security Minister Meng Jianzhu, "Your friends are our friends," continuing, "your enemies are our enemies, and your security is our security."
But do things look so straightforward when viewed from Beijing? To be sure, Chinese money pours into places Western cash fears to tread. But Beijing is not oblivious to risk. In fact, Chinese money flows disproportionately to investments that carry little to no risk and deliver returns that, however modest, are predictable. Moreover, at least some Chinese companies have proved willing to abandon investments as their perception of risk has risen. In September, for example, Kingho, a large private Chinese miner, is reported to have abandoned a proposed $19 billion investment to build a coal mine and power and chemical plants in Pakistan's Sindh province after reassessing investment and security risks.
Indeed, Beijing's investment calculus is increasingly based on a sophisticated balancing of three types of risk: geopolitical, political, and financial.
Geopolitical risk (not least China's rivalry with India) has long led Beijing to support Islamabad through thick and thin. Friendly ties between the two help satisfy four Chinese strategic objectives: They ensure security and stability in China's western

This question came from our site for professional and enthusiast programmers.
The number of rows is limited only by available storage. i.e. there isn't one.
Maximum Capacity Specifications for SQL Server
I suspect it might actually be 9,223,372,036,854,775,807 rows (maximum size of a bigint). To put that number of rows into context, if you inserted a billion rows per day, it would take approximately 25,269,512 years to exhaust.

Rationale: Despite an extensive body of research on the topography of the primary somatosensory cortex (S1) little is known about the representation of the trunk. Aim: The aim of this study was to determine the representation of the breast in S1 in human females. Results: The representation of the human breast in primary somatosensory cortex was determined in ten healthy female subjects. Non-painful electrical stimulation of the mammilla (Th4 dermatome), groin (L1 dermatome) and the first digit of both sides of the body activated cutaneous receptors and thus elicited somatosensory evoked potentials. The representation of these body parts in primary somatosensory cortex (S1) was determined using neuroelectric source imaging. Equivalent current dipole localizations were overlaid with individual structural magnetic resonance images to account for individual cortical differences. The breast representation was localized between the representation of the groin and the first digit. In the medial–lateral direction the representation of the breast was approximately 15 mm lateral of the longitudinal fissure in the contralateral hemisphere. Source localizations were stable across subjects. However, one subject showed ipsilateral representation of the breast, which might be related to bilateral receptive fields of the ventral body midline representation. This study confirms the Penfield and Rasmussen (1950) invasive data by use of noninvasive source imaging.

Viet Cong and NVA Tunnels and Fortifications of the Vietnam War (Paperback)
Special Order
Field fortifications and tunnel systems are typically thought of as defensive and active protective measures, but the VC/NVA also employed them offensively. It was common for extensive field works to be constructed to support assaults and sieges on US fire-support bases and remote camps. Their tactics reflected attempts to counter the massive firepower they faced: when directly engaging the enemy they employed "hugging" tactics (moving in and remaining closely engaged, even intermingling units, to prevent the enemy from bringing his artillery and close air support to bear). Their field works included defended villages, base camps, fortified complexes, hilltop defenses, trench systems, individual fighting positions, crew-served weapon positions, bunkers, caches, and extensive tunnel systems. Camouflage and deceptive measures, and the employment of obstacles and booby traps went hand-in-hand with such field works. This book examines these unique fortifications.

Does anyone know what's the best or better go to site for posting ur portfolio and best work on? Best way to get it out to people, more professional...

Hello guys. I'm a beginner in photography knowing some theory but lack practice. Even though i like shooting telephoto what i'd really like to learn are close ups with shallow DOF. I hear primes are best for that. I had Olympus e510, photos with it were good but i hated its menus. Also it was slow to focus in low light (multiple flash bursts tend to get on ppl's nerves). I sold it cos i got a really good price for it and am now looking for a replacment. I'm buying used but with warranty and...

I have a Pentax K-r and two 50mm lenses. I don't need 2 50mm's so I want to test which one will take the best images and sell the other one. One is a SMC Pentax-A 50mm f/2.0 manual.The aperture ring works fine but sometimes the button doesn't press down, then it won't turn, and sometimes the button just doesn't pop back up to lock the ring at the aperture. The other is a MultiCoated Sears 50mm f/1.7.Which is in slightly better condition, smooth, but is a "Sears" lens.It does say "auto" on the...

I recently purchased a Tokina 300mm f2.8 at-x pro (eBay). I had the idea of a low budget birding set up, I saw the video Krisinct and its the same set up. My results have been mixed, soft images, not too many sharp ones. I have done some reading about AF fine tune, not sure if that is the issue. It probably is. I could use some feed back and guidance. The lens is in excellent condition. I like the concept of used equipment for me at this time to get started. I want to make sure I like...

Today, I clicked on an Adobe Update on my desktop--at least that's what I thought it was. First thing I knew, I was being asked to sign into my Adobe account, which I did. Then it asked my date of birth, which I did. Finally, I got the agreement to terms, and I saw it wasn't an update to CS6 but rather installing Creative Cloud, so I did not agree. Then I went to Control Panel and uninstalled the program. I guess this must have been put on my desktop the last time I checked for updates, and I...

I recently bought a Sony HX50. Like the camera, amazing zoom, good quality build, good features, fine stabilization. My question is: my shots look very good, but what is the general thought about the HX50 as far as quality of photo, is this too small of a sensor to produce quality shots? I need to figure out if it is a keeper- Many thanks, Krocket

14-A war-wolf or trebuchet is a device used during the Middle Ages to throw rocks at castles and now sometimes used to fling large vegetables and pianos as a sport. A simple trebuchet is shown in the figure below. Model it as a stiff rod of negligible mass, d = 2.70 m long, joining particles of mass m1 = 0.110 kg and m2 = 63.0 kg at its ends. It can turn on a frictionless, horizontal axle perpendicular to the rod and 15.0 cm from the large-mass particle. The operator releases the trebuchet from rest in a horizontal orientation.
(a) Find the maximum speed that the small-mass object attains when
it leaves the trebuchet horizontally.

Re: Debt Validation
Why would you not dispute online with CRA's?. Personally I have been sucessfull in getting items deleted. My first dispute was 4 TL's 3 collection and 1 collection showing unpaid when it was paid. I got 2 deletions 1 verified and 1 correction. on my 2nd dispute I disputed Judgement and it was deleted. On the account that was verified I'm sending a DV letter to CA (Palisades Collection/AT&T), I've never had a AT&T wireless account and if it doesn't get removed then I'll sue them. So could you explain why one should not dispute online?. Thanks

SKS Microfinance IPO Seeks as Much as $347 Million
SKS Microfinance Ltd., the Indian lender backed by Sequoia Capital and George Soros, raised its initial public offering to as much as 16.3 billion rupees ($347 million) after six quarters of gains by the key equity index.
Shares in the Hyderabad-based company will be offered from July 28 for 850 rupees to 985 rupees each, with a 50 rupees discount for retail buyers, according to an advertisement in the Financial Express newspaper today. Kotak Mahindra Capital Co., Citigroup Inc. and Credit Suisse Group AG are managing the IPO. The company in March had said it would seek $250 million.
SKS, India's largest microfinance company, has lured investors including Soros and billionaire N.R. Narayana Murthy on expectation credit to the nation's poorest may surge by more than 40 percent in a market where about 120 million households don't have access to banking and financial services.
"The basic appeal lies in the fact that it's a high-growth segment of the financing market," Apurva Shah, head of research at Prabhudas Lilladher Pvt., said by phone from Mumbai. "Whether lenders will be able to maintain asset quality when they scale up remains a big risk."
SKS provides loans from $22 to $260 each for women raising cows or opening a village tea stall in a nation where 828 million people live on less than $2 a day. India has an untapped credit demand of 1.2 trillion rupees, according to Crisil Ratings, the Indian unit of Standard & Poor's.
Market Growth
Microfinance lending in India, the world's largest market for such loans, may surge about 40 percent annually over the next few years, according to Sanjay Sinha, managing director at Micro-Credit Ratings in New Delhi, which provides ratings services to potential investors. Prabhudas's Shah estimates the industry may expand at almost 50 percent for the next few years.
SKS, which received a non-banking finance company license from the Reserve Bank of India in 2006 and currently has 5.3 million customers, is India's largest microfinance company by value of loans outstanding, the number of borrowers and number of branches, according to Crisil.
The offering cements Citigroup's No. 1 ranking among banks managing share sales in India for a second consecutive year, after it advised companies including state-run NMDC Ltd. and NTPC Ltd. on raising funds, according to Bloomberg data. Kotak Mahindra is ranked second, followed by UBS AG.
A 21.6 percent stake in SKS will be offered to investors, with 7.45 million new shares to be sold by the company and 9.35 million shares by existing investors, according to a July 16 sale document. At least 5.03 million shares will be made available to retail bidders. The offer period ends on Aug. 2, with institutional investors allowed to bid until July 30.
Sequoia, Soros
U.S. venture capital firm Sequoia, one of Google Inc. and Yahoo! Inc.'s early investors, plans to sell about a third of the SKS holding it has accumulated since March 2007 in the IPO.
Soros's Quantum (M) Ltd. hedge fund, which bought 300,000 shares for 636 rupees each in recent weeks, will hold a 0.4 percent stake after the sale, according to the prospectus. Murthy's Catamaran Management Services Pvt. will own 1.3 percent.
Indian companies have garnered more than 654 billion rupees from share sales this year, according to Bloomberg data, putting the market on course to exceed 2008's record 782 billion rupees.
Foreign fund inflows to Indian stocks have increased 35 percent this year to $8.86 billion, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. India's benchmark Sensitive Index climbed for a sixth quarter in the past three months, the longest rally based on data going back to 1979.

Abstract"Effective use of models and simulations (M&S) requires the visualization of model-related information at three stages-model construction, model manipulation, and model analysis. M&S applications do not always have a native visualization environment, buteven when they do, the environment rarely permits visualization at all three stages of M&S use. An adaptable visualization environment that could be tailored to function for specialized M&S applications would be a powerful tool to unify an organization'sanalysis and reporting efforts. Realizing this environment requires advanced data abstraction, a formalism for generating visual transforms based on context, general-purpose analysis aids, and a methodology for tailoring M&S input and output.This proposal explores the innovative use of knowledge-based technologies from artificial intelligence to represent M&S data in a domain-independent way. The knowledge-based approach permits users to view and navigate M&S data while treating the M&Sapplication as a "black box". Our visualization environment employs a relational algebra formalism to query the knowledge-base, a mathematical analysis toolbox for understanding causal connections, and data wizards to help analysts who are not knowledgeengineers tailor an M&S application to the environment. The technology developed under this program will immediately benefit organizations seeking to unify their M&S analysis and reporting efforts. Ex

State avoids floods, but threat remainsJune 29,2013Vermont officials who were monitoring potential flooding are standing down.
Fears that heavy rains could cause damaging flooding across Vermont less than two years after Tropical Storm Irene turned out to be unfounded Friday morning.
The state reported that all state roads were open and no local road closures were reported.
The storm that officials feared would dump up to four inches of rain on parts of Vermont instead tracked west, causing damage in areas of central New York and in the Adirondacks.

BEST BETS: "Jessica Jones," "Big Trouble/Escape from New York" & More October 2016 Highlights
Comic Books
All throughout December, we will be examining comic book stories and ideas that were not only abandoned, but also had the stories/plots specifically "overturned" by a later writer (as if they were a legal precedent). Click here for an archive of all the previous editions of The Abandoned An' Forsaked.
Today we look at the original origin for Spider-Woman, as suggested by commenter Luis Dantas!
Spider-Woman debuted in the pages of Marvel Spotlight #32 (written by Archie Goodwin). In it, she discovers her origin…
In Marvel Two-In-One #33 (written by Marv Wolfman), however, she encounters Mordred the Mystic, who lets her know that her origin is not what she thinks…
And in Spider-Woman #1 (also written by Wolfman), we get her new origin…
First we meet her father, who was colleagues with the High Evolutionary (before he went by that name) and worked on serums involving spiders…
Then Jessica got sick and her father tried to use his serums…
When that didn't work, the High Evolutionary stepped in…
Thanks for the suggestion, Luis! If anyone else wants to suggest a story for this feature, e-mail me at email@example.com.
This is great example of good writing.
Instead of rebooting, the original origin, Wolfman worked with what was there to add a new revelation that changed the way readers perceived things. Awesome.
There does seem to be a bit of rebooting going on: consider the two different panels seen above of Jessica Drew emerging from the incubation… They're clearly meant to depict the same situation, the High Evolutionary even has the same first line, but what he says after that is totally different. So either the guy in green (whoever that is) lied to Jessica about what the HE said for some reason, or Wolfman actually cancelled Goodwin's explanation and replaced it with his.
interesting for always liked that wolfman kept some of spider woman's origin like being in the high evoluntiary machine but then manage to make it so she is human like the rest of the mu. heroes.
Spider-Woman was #32 of Marvel Spotlight. Moon Knight was #29…
I am not sure I agree with the idea that this is an example of good writing. The end result is an origin that is so convoluted that it takes a full miniseries to try and make heads or tails of it.
Spider-Woman was #32 of Marvel Spotlight. Moon Knight was #29…
Thanks, Cory!
I never really understood the High Evolutionary. What's his deal? Is he good, bad, or in-between?
I think he sort of doesn't care either way, Joe. All he cares about is his research and his work to create new forms of life. That's why he isolates himself and his creations to Wundagore, so that he can do what he wants outside of the morality of others.
This is more like two abandoned origins.
#1 The High Evolutionary evolves a spider into what looks like a human woman.
#2 Mordred tells her she is as human as regular humans.
#3 While Spider-Woman #1 keeps the "born human" part of Mordred's claim, but the High Evolutionary describes her as half spider after finishing his treatments. Jessica describes herself as neither human nor spider. Even her father's description of the formula (before the High Evolutionary treated her for years) was for something that would turn someone beyond "human".
Yes, in the final version she is "born human", but she's certainly not "as human as all thou hast saved this eve". Admittedly, you could argue that Mordred is lying to her to make her feel better. Like one of those cases where you tell someone that things aren't really that bad, or that (even though you have scales and eat human corpses) your heart is more human than the murderer you just ate, or whatever. But unless Wolfman already had plans for Spider-Woman #1 when he wrote that team-up story, he might have just been going for a standard "You're human, just with some extra powers" idea, and made it a bit more spidery when he did her series origin.
. But unless Wolfman already had plans for Spider-Woman #1 when he wrote that team-up story
He did. Spider-Woman #1 is promoted at the end of the issue.
So, all these years she has been dyeing her hair black? Who knew?
Tuomas, don't forget the three Rs of comic books; reboot, retcon, and revamp.
A reboot is when the publisher, editor, and writer start from scratch, like Man of Steel, Batman: Year One, or Ultimate Spider-Man (i.e. everything you know is invalid now).
A retcon is when a writer sheds new information on a previously established fact that changes the reader's conceptualization of that fact without deleting said fact from continuity.
A revamp is when a writer replaces an established character with a new one (i.e. Hal/Kyle), or alters an established character with a new direction, and/or new powers/, and/or new location, and/or new identity, etc (i.e. Captain American becomes Nomad, Wonder Woman moves to Gateway City, Captain America becomes a comic book artist that works at Marvels Comics, etc).
Of the three Rs, Wolfman's story definitely folds in the second one because what he did was alter a previously established fact without deleting that fact.
"So either the guy in green (whoever that is) lied to Jessica about what the HE said for some reason, "
I'm inclined to believe that was the case.
In version one, a third person who wasn't even present in the scene of Jessica's rebirth told her the "facts" of her origin, while in the second version the art seems to depict Jessica remembering the events first hand.
"in the second version the art seems to depict Jessica remembering the events first hand."
It looks like she is having visions or dreams in Spider-Woman #1, not necessarily remembering the events first hand.
Indeed, in that magical flashback way, she even remembers things that she might not have been present for, like her father putting a flower on her mother's grave while Jessica is most likely still undergoing treatment in the cabin in the background.
And thinking about it… Jessica was being treated with the genetic accelerator for years, even though Wolfman kept the High Evolutionary saying that he achieved it in mere moments. The High Evolutionary, because of the attempt to keep at least some of the original origin, in general treats it as a much more momentous event than his pre-HE incarnation did.
Honestly, I'm more of a fan of the animated version, and in that things are waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay simpler Little girl is bitten by a spider and her father saves her using an experimental serum.
That's it.
"This is great example of good writing."
Except for the actual writing, which was really, really, really bad.
Spider-Woman was #32 of Marvel Spotlight. Moon Knight was #29…
Thanks, Cory!
Moon Knight's first Appearance was Marvel Spotlight #28. #29 was second app.
Andrew, blame it on the era.
It's good plotting, with bad pre-Watchmen/pre-Dark Knight/pre-Crisis/pre-reinvention of comics execution.
It's good plotting, with bad pre-Watchmen/pre-Dark Knight/pre-Crisis/pre-reinvention of comics execution.
There was plenty of good superhero comic writing before and during the time this story came out. Good writing didn't start with Watchmen/Dark Knight/Crisis/reinvention of comics.
It probably started with the death of Gwen Stacy and Hard Travelling Heroes, but it wasn't wide spread back then.
Thanks, Brian!
Ganky – I have been wondering that myself. From what I gather, Spider-Woman #1 was the last anyone ever saw of Jessica's hair not being black. It is technically possible that she is diying it obsessively, I suppose, but it looks more like a forgotten detail and a semi-intentional retcon to me.
Suggestion: In the late 80s, the X-Men went through the Siege Perilous and were no longer able to be detected by mechanical devices. This made Dazzler's return to pop stardom difficult in the psycho fan issue.
With technology as it is now, these X-Men would be lost among iPhones, automatic doors, etc.
I want to say future writers just forgot about this.
One minor quibble: Her hair was short and curly in Marvel Spotlight #32!
Hayes, the Siege Perilous only affects Rogue, Havok, Psylocke, Dazzler and Colossus. They were the only ones that I remember going through.
More importantly to X-Men continuity is the fact that Carol Danvers inserted a virus into the Pentagon computers that would prevent any recognition of The X-Men… which technically should still be operational.
The only way I would accept that High Evolutionary origin is if she actually looked anything like the spider she used to be. The other New Men kept their animal traits, why not her?
I mean besides her "spider powers".
Wolverine was originally supposed to be an evolved Wolverine. Isn't that nuts. I'm glad they didn't go with that.
Purple Hayes – I was just thinking about the X-men's mechanical invisibility thingy…but it was a result of Roma's enchantment after she resurrected them at the end of Fall of the Mutants rather than them going through the Siege. Actually, I seem to remember reading somewhere (not sure what book/issue) some throwaway line about the effect getting lost on all the X-men that went through the crystal, or got screwed around with in some way (i.e. Nanny's de-aging of Storm). But you're right, that Dazzler bit of post-Australia business negates that. As it stands at the very least I think Longshot and Wolverine should still technically be ghosted on security cameras. I feel like that was mentioned re: Logan in an X-book in the last few years, but I could be wrong on that front.
So where does the recent retcon that Jessica Drew's parents were agents of Hydra fit into all of this?
Actually, throughout Spider-Woman'soriginal series it's established her long, flowing black hair is a wig.
I recall from the original series (I remember having read it in digest form as a kid) that she dyes her hair black early on because she is a fugitive from both SHIELD and Hydra– and they know her as a strawberry-blonde.
Spider-Woman might be more interesting if she WAS actually an evolved spider. I don't get why Stan, or Marvel, or whoever, had a problem with the spider origin…it was a cool idea.
Her origin gets retconned in her second appearance. I think it was more a matter of the fact that she was such a new character that no one was remotely invested in her continuity. Of course, the result is that within the first year of publication she ended up with a backstory more convoluted than most superheroes acquire over a couple of decades!
It's funny, some writers at Marvel seemed really attached to that "High Evolutionary evolved an animal into a human" bit. That's the story Len Wein wanted to use for Wolverine before they decided to make him a mutant. Then they tried to do that with Spider-Woman. Then they actually did it for the version of White Tiger they had in the '90s Heroes for Hire series.
This is why Wolfman included Jessica (but not Spider-Woman) in his court case about Marvel characters he should own, right?

Team Texas is looking for a handful of select athletes that are mentally tough and physically fit, to join a demanding fastpitch organization that will be traveling extensively in 2011 to play in college exposure events in California, Colorado, Florida, and Texas--including several Premier Girls Fastpitch National Qualifiers--this summer, and the Ronald McDonald Tournament in October.
Team Texas is fully funded and fully sponsored with its own indoor practice facility based in the north Houston/Harris County/South Montgomery County area.
We are currently looking for coachable, teachable athletes with a positive mental attitude, a strong work ethic and a willingness to make the kind of full time commitment necessary to succeed in fastpitch softball at the highest levels.
Team Texas is coached by Robert and Tonetta Andaya. Having coached thousands of players, hundreds of scholarship athletes and numerous All-Americans, the Andaya's are one of the most experienced and accomplished coaching tandems in the country.
This is not "daddy ball." The Andaya's coaching style is tough, demanding--and fair. The Andaya's teach and stress proper fundamentals (even at the highest levels of play) and they insist that their players work diligently to improve their strength and conditioning. But perhaps most importantly, the Andaya's demand that their players respect themselves, each other and the game itself.
If you are mentally tough and willing to learn how to focus that mental strength to improve your game—If you are physically aggressive and willing to play fearlessly on the field—If you possess a "do or die" attitude and you are willing to "leave your feet" to make a play—If you are willing to commit to an intense conditioning regimen and work harder than you thought possible—And if you are willing to practice more (and more effectively!) than you ever imagined— then Team Texas may be the team for you!

Sheriff, opponents call truce on court battle over attack ads
Published: Wednesday, October 17, 2007 at 10:18 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, October 17, 2007 at 12:05 p.m.
THIBODAUX -- A bitter court battle over campaign ads critical of Lafourche Parish Sheriff Craig Webre has ended in a draw, with both the incumbent lawman and a committee whose members have vowed to unseat him laying down their legal weapons.
But questions of how closely Louisianas campaign-finance laws have been followed in the race between Webre and the most formidable of his three opponents remain. Those questions are also likely to spark demands for an investigation after Saturdays election, the sheriff said.
A settlement between attorneys for Webre and the organization called CLAW -- Citizens of Lafourche Against Webre -- was forged Tuesday and is expected to be signed today. That eliminates the need for a Thursday hearing before Lafourche District Court Judge Bruce Simpson.
Webre will agree to drop his suit against CLAW, which sought to block television ads that he called false and misleading, in large part because the election is just days away.
"We are on the eve of the election, and it is almost a moot point," he said.
As part of the agreement, both sides will pay their own attorney fees and Webre will get to keep the bond he posted when he sought the restraining order that would have prevented the attack ads from running.
Webre said he is concerned over where the money fueling the most formidable of his four opponents, Nicholls State University Police Chief Craig Jaccuzzo, is coming from. He alleges Jaccuzzos donors broke campaign-finance laws and plans a formal complaint to the Louisiana Board of Ethics after Saturdays primary.
Jaccuzzo did not return a reporters phone calls Tuesday night, but has said that he has no way of knowing whether his contributors follow the law.
"We dont apologize for any campaign funds or support. No, we dont return any campaign money. We are trying to win an election," Jaccuzzo said last week, denying knowledge of any irregularities concerning his donors.
Webre hasnt accused Jaccuzzo, but he said he knows of at least one case in which cash from big money sources was given to others to contribute in their own name. Those sorts of practices are meant to keep those who give more than the $2,500, allowed per donor under campaign-finance laws, from being detected.
If the state ethics board examines Jaccuzzos contributions, Webre said, they will find "a blatant case" of someone with a lot of money attempting to exceed campaign contributions "and somehow getting other people to list their names as contributors."
Webre said one person, whom he would not identify, came to him directly and said "they were given checks and told to make a contribution."
However, Webres opponents have questions of their own about the sheriffs contributors and are looking into a question of whether some gifts from Florida donors exceed legal limits.
"I am not aware of that, but the individual who prepares the reports and takes the money is very diligent to make sure we are in strict compliance with the campaign-finance laws," Webre said. "If there is an inadvertent oversight I would never condone it."
Jaccuzzos contributions fall primarily in the big donor category. Eighty-seven percent of his donations, according to campaign-finance reports, are gifts of $2,500.
By contrast, 80 percent of Webres contributions are below the $2,500 ceiling.
Alesia Ardoin, a staff attorney at the state ethics board, said state law prohibits donors from giving in someone elses name, or providing someone else with money to make a contribution.
The board investigates when a complaint is made. Bank records and other information belonging to suspect people could be subpoenaed, she said, and heavy fines can result if violations are detected.
Among the contributions Webre is eyeing are those made to Jaccuzzo by Alvin Dominique Jr., his wife, Rebecca Dominique and their 20-year-old son, Jonas. Alvin is a photographer. Rebecca works at tugboat magnate Arlen B. Cenacs Golden Ranch retreat as a secretary. Jonas is a sophomore at the University of New Orleans.
Each of the Dominiques gave Jaccuzzo $2,500.
The couple filed for and were granted a Chapter 7 bankruptcy in 2005, and documents in that public-court file show Rebecca Dominiques annual income as less than $20,000.
Alvin Dominique is listed as disabled in court papers. And the family shows annual income from rental property of $30,000 prior to the bankruptcy. Relatives interviewed Tuesday expressed surprise that the family had donated $7,500 to the sheriffs race, and an additional $2,500 in the name of Jonas Dominique to the campaign of Lafourche Parish President candidate Tommy Lasseigne.
Lasseigne said he does not know the Dominiques and is not aware of the circumstances surrounding the college students listed contribution. He also said his role is not to scrutinize donor gifts for compliance with ethics laws.
Jonas Dominique, who lives in New Orleans, did not return a reporters call after a message was left with a fellow student. Rebecca Dominique refused to be interviewed.
Alvin Dominique, however, said all donations from the family were actual gifts from those listed on campaign-disclosure reports. He denies that they donated money supplied by someone else.
The familys financial circumstances improved after the bankruptcy, Alvin Dominique said, allowing them to contribute to a race he maintains is personally important to all of them.
The reasons for his opposition to Webre, Dominique said, are personal, and involve a wrong done to his family by the sheriff that he would not disclose.
A block of donations to the Jaccuzzo campaign, from Cut Off businessman Brad Blanchard, make Webre suspicious. The sheriff does not question whether the money -- $10,000 worth of $2,500 gifts to Jaccuzzo -- is Blanchards. But he questions whether gifts given in Blanchards name as well as the names of several corporations he owns are consistent with finance laws.
"I would submit that the entire campaign-finance report from top to bottom, particularly people making the $2,500 contributions are suspect," Webre said. "If you simply do link analysis you will see that the contributors are directly or indirectly connected to either Brad Blanchard or Golden Ranch."
Webre is a sore subject at the Golden Ranch retreat. It was there that deputies conducted a controversial 2003 search while seeking evidence to support allegations that Cenac molested a young child, a charge that was never upheld.
A shot was fired into a bathtub during the search. A man living near the property was thrown to the ground and handcuffed when he questioned who the men dressed in camouflage and face paint were, not realizing they were deputies.
Both the neighbor and Cenac filed suit against Webre. The suits were among eight settled out of court that CLAW alleges cost taxpayers millions of dollars, a contention flatly denied by Webre. Those settlements are the chief issue of the suit that both he and the organization are expected to settle on today.
Webre said his determination to force an investigation of Jaccuzzos donors is not an exercise in campaign grandstanding, but relates directly to his duties as sheriff.
"It would be hypocritical for me to turn a blind eye to information that is a direct violation of the law," Webre said.
