127,245 lbs
Live with Regis & Kelly 9.15.11
ABC Studios 7 Lincoln Square, New York, NY 10023
On September 15, 2011 53 year old Walter Urban broke the current Guinness Book of World Records record for the most amount of weight lifted squatting in one hour drug free on Live with Regis and Kelly. The past record was 125,065 lbs and set in 2009 by 32 year old Six Pack Lapadat of. Walter's record weight was 127,245 lbs which was accomplished by completing 904 squats in one hour or 15 squats per minute at an average weight of 140 lbs for 60 minutes.
The effort to breark the current world record was to bring attention to the fact the adults can continue to remain healthy and get stronger longer than even before well into their 50's and 60's. Additionally, to bring attention to the fact that "steroids" are not necessary to reach new heights in atheltic performance with the hope of raising awareness of "drug free" performance among young amateur athletes around the US.
Walter was independently drug tested for performance enhancing drugs Friday September 9th, 2011 by Evans OCC Health Clinic in Toronto Canada in conjunction with Live with Regis & Kelly and Health Street NYC. He tested negative for any performance enhancing drugs.
Guinness Event
New York, NY Friday September 17 2011: 53-year-old Walter Urban set a new Guinness World Record for the most amount of weight squat lifted in one hour drug free - on LIVE! with Regis and Kelly. The former record was 125,065 lbs, set in 2009 by a 32-year-old man. Walter's goal was to lift 126,000 lbs which was to be accomplished by completing 700 to 1000 squats in one hour or 11 to 17 squats per minute for 60 minutes. Not only did he meet his goal, but he surpassed it and lifted 127, 245 lbs! The Guinness World Record representative said that this weight was "equivalent to approximately 20 African Elephants."
When asked by Regis what motivated Walter to do this, Urban's reply was "to show that you can be healthy, fit and strong at any age even into your 90's. You can be strong without the use of performance enhancing drugs, and finally he likes a challenge!"
Walter was independently and voluntarily drug tested for performance enhancing drugs Friday September 9, 2011 by Evans OCC Health Clinic in Toronto, Canada in conjunction with LIVE! with Regis and Kelly and Health Street NYC. He tested negative for any performance enhancing drugs.
The husband and father of three girls 12, 9 and 5 is a US Citizen living and working in Canada.

OAKLAND — A fierce gunfight between a cadre of CHP officers and a heavily armed felon with anti-government beliefs ended with the man in the hospital and some lanes on Interstate 580 closed for most of Sunday.
The Tuolumne County man, identified as 45-year-old Byron Williams, was wearing body armor and armed with a high-powered hunting rifle, a pistol and a shotgun. He had a three-ring binder, recovered from the truck he was driving by a bomb squad robot, with the word "California" scrawled across its cover.
Police said they believed the gunfight put an end to what might have been a desperate mission by a man who hated left-wing causes and faced his third strike.
"There is no doubt in our mind, given the body armor and the extensive amount of ammunition he had, that he was on his way to do a very serious crime against either someone or a group of people," CHP Sgt. Trent Cross said.
"This was a very dramatic situation," Cross added. "To perform a routine stop and have it turn into this is basically every officer's worst nightmare."
Two CHP officers pulled Williams over shortly before midnight Saturday on westbound I-580 near the Grand Avenue exit in Oakland when Williams allegedly opened fire.
Officers took cover and called for backup, and 10 officers returned fire for five to eight minutes and seriously wounded him, Cross said.
Police found in the truck a suspicious object that prompted investigators to call a bomb squad to the scene. The object was detonated Sunday without mishap in the center divide of the freeway.
I-580 had to be closed in both directions for several hours to keep the controlled explosion safe.
Law enforcement sources said Williams has a history showing he is anti-government, anti-corporation and against liberal causes.
Williams, who traveled 130 miles from his Groveland home, has an extensive criminal history, including at least two felonies, and could face life in prison, Cross said.
He was arrested Sunday on suspicion of attempted murder. He was in serious but stable condition late Sunday at Highland Hospital.
His background, coupled with the presence of possible explosives, was enough to prompt the FBI to get involved in the investigation, Cross said.
"Right now, this is not being looked at as a domestic terrorism case," Cross said Sunday afternoon. "But there's more evidence to go through, and that could change."

"24: Live Another Day" (9 p.m., Fox): Tonight's turbocharged episode is the 200th overall for the action franchise. But will the overworked Jack Bauer (Kiefer Sutherland) have a chance to chill out and celebrate? No way.
"The Fosters" (9 p.m., ABC Family): In the Season 2 opener, the past comes back to haunt several characters. That's never a good thing, but it makes for juicy family drama.
"Louie" (10 p.m., FX): Season 4 of this offbeat comedy has been as uncomfortable as it has been hilarious. It (mercifully?) comes to an end tonight with a 90-minute episode that focuses on Louie's awkward relationship with Pamela.

Insider Theft: the Real Cyber Threat?
Companies have obsessed lately about the danger posed by foreign hackers but the biggest threat may come from their own employees.
Fear of foreign cyber intrusions peaked following a report by computer security firm Mandiant that a unit of China's People's Liberation Army was engaging in cyberwarfare against U.S. corporations and government agencies. Daily headlines told corporate America that Chinese hackers were targeting their systems. (The Chinese government has denied the allegations.)
Although all of that may be true, according to Mike Dubose, the head of Kroll Advisory Solution's cyber investigations practice, the coverage missed the bigger picture.
"Foreign hacking has grabbed all the headlines," Dubose said. "But more than two-thirds of all cyber cases involve company insiders, not outside hackers. And, that figure is probably under-reported because many internal breaches are not made public."
Dubose isn't alone in this assessment. A survey last year by security firm AlgoSec found that security managers are more worried about low-level insiders than sophisticated foreign hackers. At a recent conference, Federal Bureau of Investigation Chief Information Security Officer Patrick Reidy said that companies with strong protections against inside threats will be around in 10 years, and those without them will not.
Take the case of Hanjuan Jin, for example. Jin was a software engineer at Motorola from 1998 until 2007. But she accepted a job from a Chinese competitor in 2006 while on medical leave. Upon her return to Motorola, she downloaded proprietary technical documents from the company's secure internal network and then gave notice. She was arrested at Chicago's O'Hare Airport with more than 1,000 Motorola documents and a one-way ticket to China. Jin was sentenced to four years in prison in August.
Dubose, who previously served as chief of the Justice Department's Computer Crime and Intellectual Property Section, said that companies are not particularly good at monitoring their own systems, leaving them open to internal theft. The average time between an internal breach and its discovery is 32 months, he said.
According to Dubose, companies need to start profiling high-risk employees by monitoring their adherence to internal IT security policies and other company guidelines. Unreported foreign trips and attempts to access classified information not related to an employee's work duties should also raise red flags, he said.
On a broader level, Dubose said companies need to become more sophisticated about monitoring their networks for unusual and suspicious user patterns. He said they should institute centralized, system-wide logs of data access and transference that are easily accessible once a breach has been discovered.
Finally, if an internal breach is detected, companies need to crack the whip.
"The impact of a successful investigation and ultimate punishment can have a bigger deterrent effect than anything else," Dubose said.

Grammy award-winning singer Larry Ford, most recognized for his participation in Southern Gospel icon Bill Gaither's Gaither Homecoming videos and concerts, will perform on Sunday in Amarillo.
San Jacinto Assembly of God, 400 N. Georgia St., will host the concert during its 6 p.m. worship service.
"He will have the whole worship service," said the Rev. Oliver Offutt, associate pastor of San Jacinto Assembly of God. "He may share a little bit, but will probably be singing the majority of the service."
Ford often is a featured soloist in the Gaither Homecoming series of live concerts and made-for-television events, according to the singer's website.
Offutt said Ford will probably sing a lot of his classics.
"I'm sure he'll perform some of the songs he's done with the Gaithers," Offutt said.
Some of those gospel favorites that fans have come to know from Ford's repertoire include songs such as, "Little is Much When God is In It," "Sing of My Redeemer," "Follow Me" and "O, What a Savior."

AUSTIN - The Texas Court of Criminal Appeals on Wednesday upheld the conviction of a man sentenced to death for kidnapping, sexually assaulting and killing a 5-year-old Amarillo girl.
It was the second time the court denied an appeal by Robert James Anderson.
Anderson was convicted of the June 1992 slaying of Audra Ann Reeves. Court records indicate that the child was sexually assaulted before she was choked, gagged, stabbed, beaten and drowned before her body was crammed into a Styrofoam ice chest and thrown into a Dumpster.
Witnesses identified Anderson as the man they saw pushing a grocery cart containing an ice chest down an Amarillo street. A man who witnessed the incident later found the ice chest in the Dumpster and discovered the child's body inside.
After he was identified by several witnesses, Anderson confessed to Reeves' murder.
The criminal appeals court upheld Anderson's conviction on direct appeal in 1996. The court said Wednesday that the points raised by Anderson in his latest appeal were rejected previously.
Amarillo attorney Joe Marr Wilson, who represents Anderson in this stage of the appeal, said there was little he could attack in the application.
"There wasn't a lot of factual dispute," Wilson said.
Wilson said he raised the issue regarding instructions to the jury and questioned the court's earlier ruling that Anderson had waived that argument.
State District Judge Abe Lopez, who presided over the 1993 trial, had denied a defense motion that jurors be told that Anderson would have to serve a minimum of 35 years if given a life sentence. Anderson argued that he had a constitutional right for jurors to be informed of the minimum time he would have to be in prison.
The criminal appeals court's decision doesn't end Anderson's right to appeal. He still can take his case to the federal courts.
"A federal petition will be filed," Wilson said.

North Carolina authorities say they've recovered the remains of a woman whose boyfriend is accused of killing his mother and stepfather.
Buncombe County sheriff's deputies say they positively identified 23-year-old Cheyenne VanTreese of Asheville. She was reported missing more than two weeks ago, but her family says she hadn't been seen since early October.
The sheriff's office said Saturday it is not describing how she died.
Buncombe County Sheriff Van Duncan said her remains were discovered near the Leicester home where 45-year-old Joy Runne and 44-year-old Andre Runne were shot to death this week. Twenty-five-year-old Vincent Franklin is charged with first-degree murder in their deaths. It was not clear if he has an attorney.
VanTreese and Franklin had a child together.

Schools in three West Virginia counties and three in Ohio were evacuated or subjected to other emergency measures Monday after threats to harm students were made.
Clearly, all six situations were related to the massacre of students and teachers the previous Friday in Newtown, Conn.
This past week, schools were locked down in Wood County, Pleasants County, Wirt County, Belpre and Federal Hocking due to rumors of violence circulating through social media or bomb threats. In every case, no credible threat has yet been found. In addition, a high school student in Wayne County, W.Va., made a threat. In Wirt and Mercer counties, bomb threats were received.
In Hamilton County, Ohio, a man declared on a Facebook post that he was so sick of comments about the Connecticut massacre that he wanted to shoot children himself.
In Springfield, Ohio, a high school student posted on Facebook that he could "do better" than the Connecticut murderer. In Willoughby, Ohio, school officials received a threat someone planned to take a gun and a bomb to a middle school. Neither was found in a search of the school.
It may be that the Hamilton County man was merely engaging in distasteful hyperbole. But in the other situations, concrete threats were made.
In at least two of the cases, including Wirt County, students responsible for making the threats were found by police.
Whether to take action against the students is up to school officials and law enforcement authorities, of course. A variety of factors, including intent, will have to be taken into account.
But in any such situation where it can be demonstrated more than bad judgment was to blame, severe punishment should be meted out to the offenders. For one reason or another, they took advantage of a horrific crime in attempts to incite panic among people in West Virginia and Ohio.
Unfortunately, bomb threats have become fairly regular occurrences at schools. School and law enforcement officials here seem to have handled them well, sometimes finding and punishing those responsible.
Again, however, what happened this past week was different. In the context of the Connecticut murders, threats involving schools were at a much higher level of seriousness. That should be taken into account in deciding how or if to punish those who made the threats.

Fifty-one summers after her death, audiences continue to search for the meaning of Marilyn Monroe. The 2012 documentary "Love, Marilyn" (9 p.m. on HBO) assembles an impressive cast of performers, including Elizabeth Banks, Adrien Brody, Ellen Burstyn, Glenn Close, Hope Davis, Viola Davis, Jennifer Ehle, Ben Foster, Paul Giamatti, Jack Huston, Stephen Lang, Janet McTeer, Jeremy Piven, Oliver Platt, David Strathairn, Lili Taylor, Uma Thurman, Marisa Tomei and Evan Rachel Wood, to read passages from her diaries and letters. There is also commentary from friends and associates who knew, or tried to know, the real woman behind the bombshell persona.
Much of "Love" concerns the actress' strenuous, if occasionally desperate, attempts at self-improvement. As a contract player for 20th Century Fox, she attended far more classes, workshops and training sessions than her self-satisfied peers. And well after achieving super-stardom, she started all over as an actress, attending sessions with acting coach Lee Strasberg, along with dozens of virtually unknown New York theater actors. This, despite the fact that many of her new classmates held the Hollywood blonde in low esteem.
Her marriages to baseball great Joe DiMaggio and playwright Arthur Miller can also be seen as adventures in validation and reinvention, as can her many relationships with coaches and therapists.
"Love" more than succeeds at making us think twice about the icon. But then again, people have been contemplating her meaning for decades now. The 1970s and '80s brought dueling Marilyn books from both sides of the debate over feminism. And passages of those books by Norman Mailer and Gloria Steinem are recited here. Since then, the actress has been the subject of a novel by Joyce Carol Oates, she was portrayed by Michelle Williams in the movie "My Week With Marilyn" in 2011, and she became the subject of the Broadway musical within the TV show "Smash." An adaptation of Oates' "Blonde" is in development.
Much like Elvis and JFK, two other midcentury icons who died young, Marilyn continues to fascinate. But neither man left behind a history of reflection and remorse as tortured and revealing as she did.

Gov. Obama? Romney Makes Dig at Opponent's Credentials
WEATHERLY, Pa.–Mitt Romney said President Barack Obama might have been better suited for a governorship, his latest dig against the incumbent as the presumptive GOP presidential nominee steps up his offense.
"I'm concerned that over the last three and a half years we've had a president who may have been well meaning but didn't know what it takes to help enterprises grow and thrive," Mr. Romney said, deploying one his favorite lines of attack: depicting President Barack Obama as a nice guy who's in over his head.
So when Mr. Romney fumbled the president's title, accidentally calling him a governor, he tried to use it to his advantage.
"Governor might have been a better job for him to have started with," Mr. Romney said. "I say that because I actually think you learn from experience. I think it helps to have been in business before you actually start to run something in government."
He added: "It helps to start perhaps a little lower level before you become president."
As Mr. Romney kicked off the second day of his five-day, six-state bus tour, he accused Mr. Obama of treating the nation's economy as an afterthought. "I know the president wants to talk about the economy, a little," Mr. Romney said. "Not as much as I want to talk about the economy."
Joined by former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty, a potential running mate, Mr. Romney is scheduled to make three stops across Pennsylvania on Saturday, all in counties that the president won in 2008.

With Spring Break just around the corner, many students minds are on the beach, the sun, and getting away from it all. But one local group of students says all they're thinking about is what they can do to make a difference in a place devastated by one of the worst natural disasters in American history.
On Sunday Grand Junction teens Andy Kucel, Demi Ruder, and Brian Kucel were doing community service, helping one woman clean up her yard -- gearing up for Spring Break when they'll be working in and cleaning up something much bigger.
"It's just so cool to have this opportunity to go down south and help them out," said Andy Kucel.
The three teens, who are part of the Redlands Church of the Nativity youth group, will be spending their week in Bay St. Louis, Mississippi -- a coastal community left devastated by Hurricane Katrina.
"It's one thing to see it on TV and fee bad for the people, but it's another thing to go out and do what we can for each other," said Ruder.
No one knows that better than church member Susan Wiseman, who will be making her sixth volunteer trip down to the Gulf Coast when she and the group go there next week. She says even three and a half years after the hurricane hit, 2,000 families in Coastal Mississippi still have no homes and are living in FEMA trailers.
"Businesses are coming back, cleanup has happened, but there is still a considerable amount of work to do," said Wiseman.
The teens say listening to Wiseman's stories and looking at the pictures she's taken from her trips have been eye-opening experiences.
"I actually had no idea what happened in Mississippi because we only heard about Louisiana," said Andy Kucel. "So to know that we still have the opportunity to help out is life changing."
They say they can't wait to get down there and get to work.
"I've always wanted to help them out down there," said Brian Kucel. "I felt really bad when it happened, I felt useless. So I'm glad I have the chance to go down there and help them."
The teens say having an impact on someone's life is what they hope to get out of the trip. Speaking from personal experience, Wiseman says she knows they'll come back with a lot more than that.
"I think it changes your heart and it changes your mind," said Wiseman. "They will also be impacted and they will learn the importance of looking outside of yourself."
The group will be in Mississippi from March 9 through March 13. They will be serving with nearly 1,000 other volunteers who will also be making the trip.

The State Department spent upwards of $630,000 on campaigns to increase the number of fans on a series of the agency's Facebook pages in 2011 and 2012, according to an unclassified report.
The report, which was posted by NextGov, details a massive social spending campaign that saw the State Department's affiliated Facebook pages jump from 100,000 fans to more than 2 million for each page.
The two campaigns cost the agency $630,000, according to the report. The report also acknowledges that many within the organization felt that the spending was nothing more than an attempt to "buy fans" that had no real interest in anything the State Department was posting.
A renewed effort at pushing the agency's digital advertising to more specific diplomacy goals is being recommended in place of the previous social media plan.

Laid-Off….And Pregnant
If there was any confusion about whether a pregnant woman can legally be laid off, the events of the past few months have erased it, as demonstrated by reports here and here.
Tens of thousands of pregnant women have likely lost their jobs in the past year's blizzard of layoffs, based on my back-of-the-envelope estimate derived from last year's layoff count, the government's tallies of annual births and the Census Bureau's estimates of the proportion of new mothers who are in the workforce.
That doesn't mean expectant mothers are without protections. Based on our mail at the Juggle and the "Work & Family" column, many women are wondering about this issue, so here are the basics:
While pregnant women can be swept up in a reduction-in-force just like anyone else, an employer can't make up a layoff-of-one just to target an expectant mom, says Kimberlie Ryan, a Denver employment attorney. She cites a case in which a Denver human-resources manager was laid off and told she was part of a reduction-in-force. But after it became clear that the RIF totaled one person – the pregnant woman – the employer settled bias charges for a generous sum, Ms. Ryan says.
Employers can't justify layoffs based on stereotypes or assumptions about working mothers – such as the notion that women's job performance always hits the skids after having a child, or that women can't be both good mothers and good workers. The EEOC has issued guidelines saying such remarks alone may serve as evidence of illegal bias.
And in general, employers can't single out pregnant workers for worse treatment than other workers receive. If adverse action is taken against a pregnant women, the employer should be holding men to the same standards or treating them in a comparable way. And if a woman is fired for performance problems, she shouldn't be hearing about the problems for the first time while she's pregnant or on maternity leave; performance complaints should be documented in advance.
Readers, have you seen pregnant workers get the axe? How well was it handled? And how fairly — or poorly — do you feel layoffs in general have been handled at your workplace?

Your Windows database is an important part of the Windows OS. Windows itself, and most programs, strongly utilize the registry to store as well as read data which they keep in here. However, the database has no checks in situation; when your time, the registry gets stuffed with void knowledge and even faults. It just continually increasing as a result of out of date data are stored in it. Problems build up hence, inflicting errors all the way through the system. When programs get corrupted or illegal data from the registry, runtime errors will materialize. The answer for this is often to cut back the database and take away all the problematic info within. Unless you recognize exactly what to look for, it is terribly troublesome to try to to this manually. In addition, any mistakes you create can trigger a computer break down. Therefore it is better to use specialized software to try and do it.

Sometimes I like to blog about other things to, like how to decorate with books and how to use those books to cook with. I love to read fiction of any kind (and some non-fiction!).
Monterey, CA
When not reading, I am working hard for my money, exploring the great city of San Francisco, and harassing my boyfriend's cat. I work full-time but nobody wants to hear about that, so in my off-time, I also love to cook and when that fails, head out and try one of the many delicious restaurants in the city. My boyfriend and I enjoy fixing up our house by visiting flea markets and plant indoor gardens in our small space. My green thumb is getting better but if you have any tips I will gladly take them because so far I have spent a lot of money on plants that I quickly throw out! In the summer time we love to bbq and make delicious cocktails. I also love to do a bootcamp near my house in the park – it kicks my butt but it's totally worth it!
Tell us a little bit about your blog.
I love to read general fiction and some non-fiction. If you're just checking me out for the first time you might not know that I am a pretty eclectic reader. I love to read all of the books that get listed for the Man Booker and Orange Prize lists but when it comes right down to it, I also love some chick-lit and domestic fiction too. Travel memoirs and historical fiction are great for those times when you just want to escape and non-fiction and cookbooks are great when you need to learn something new. So as you can see, basically throw something at me that sounds interesting, and chances are, I'll find a reason to be amused!
me at the LA Times Festival of Books
Have you ever lived anywhere else in the world?
I am pretty much a West Coast girl through and through. I was born in a small town in Idaho but my family quickly moved us to Seattle, WA. When people ask me where I grew up that's where I say. To me, I will always consider some of my home in Seattle. The mountains, and the ocean, and the beautiful trees all in one spot it's hard to compare. I know some people complain that it rains too much but I think that it's totally worth it for the natural beauty!
During college I spent a semester living in London. That was one probably the most fun 6 months of my life! I had an absolute blast living that far away from my family for the first time in my life, travelling around Europe and learning to really rely on myself. I forged some of my most lasting friendships while living there and as a result, London will always hold a special place in my heart.
After college, I lived in Portland, OR for one year. It was pretty but too much like a little Seattle for me and I needed a bigger change and that's when I moved to San Francisco and I've been here for five years now and it really feels like home.
Port of SF
What countries have you visited?
I've been through most of Europe, the UK like I mentioned, Ireland, Wales, Scotland, France, Germany, Austria, Spain, Italy, Czech Republic, Hungary and Portugal. Every time I travel to Europe there is a new place I want to visit and old places that I've been that I want to go back. It's hard to pick a favourite!
Growing up in Washington, Canada was just across the border (and their legal drinking age was before that of the US, so you know, trips had to be made!) so I've been to Vancouver, Whistler, and Victoria in British Columbia.
Also living in California puts us close to Mexico (and again their legal drinking age is a little more lax, man this is starting to make me look like a lush!) so trips across the border to Tijuana and Ensenada had to be made. All very cultural indeed!
Oh and obviously, lots of places throughout the US but I'm not sure that counts here...
What countries would you like to visit?
Let me count the many! Well I definitely want to go to Australia and New Zealand at some point! I have a real fascination with the place. I think it just looks like so much fun and the people are so friendly! There are still lots of places in Italy I'd love to go to and I haven't been to Scandinavia. I would also love to visit South America. Oh and I hear the Bahamas are lovely this time of year. :)
San Francisco's Coit Tower
According to you, what are the positive and negative aspects of being a book blogger in America?
As far as positives go, from what I can tell we seem to have a lot of resources at our disposal with authors and publishing houses on our shores. I would say that having so many book bloggers in the US is great because there is always someone to chat with but since the Internet is 24 hours we can chat with anyone anywhere and I love to connect with people worldwide so I don't really think that matters in the end.
As far as negative aspects, I have noticed that there are times when it can take forever for foreign books, and by foreign, I mean even British books that have been nominated for major awards to reach our shores! And as someone who tries to read all of those books that can be incredibly frustrating. I think American publishers can be very "American-centric' if you know what I mean.
What American authors and books would you recommend?
Fun question! What book enthusiast doesn't love to discuss questions like this? I would have to put Barbara Kingslover at the top of my list. Most of her books are by far, some of my favourites (let's just not talk about her most recent!). If you haven't read The Poisonwood Bible and The Bean Trees please do! Some recent books by American authors that I've loved include Kelly Corrigan's The Middle Place (Northern California Author!), Kathryn Stockett's The Help, and The Glass Castle by Jeanette Walls.
How many languages do you speak?
Well, English is what I was born and raised on. My family (from way back) is German so I took that in high school and some classes later on. I was able to practice this when I visited Munich multiple times. I thought what I was saying sounded exactly like what they were saying, but honestly they probably spoke better English than me so we stuck with that!
Where do you usually buy your books?
Honestly, I use a book swapping site called paperbackswap.com. It's the best thing ever to feed my habit! I couldn't afford to continue to buy new books all of the time. It was getting too expensive. When I do though, I'll use Borders, Amazon or some of the many specialty local bookstores in San Francisco. San Francisco likes their quirky bookstores, like bookstores that just do travel or just do cookbooks, so it's not really one stop shopping!
Is getting your hands on foreign books tricky or easy (not mentioning online stores)?
Well like I said earlier I would say that American publishers, I think, tend to favour American authors unless they are big names. Even if they are award winning. Once they get recognized then we can get them pretty easily. It takes time though!
Every country has its clichés. What cliché about America do you consider disproportionate?
What, the cliché that we are all fat and loud? What don't say everyone doesn't say that about us! Here's what I think, I live on the West Coast which is known for its good weather and it's outdoorsy healthy types. We're generally pretty fit but you travel around a bit, and yeah there are some pretty obese people up in this land of ours but there are in lots of 1st world countries so good luck with that. Loud, well, say it loud, say it proud! When you are in a foreign country just try not to bring your US of A hat, ok people?!
The fortune cookie was first baked in San Francisco at the Japanese Tea Garden. If you opened a fortune cookie right now, what would you want it to say?
That's true, I've been there! I'd want it to say something like "You live long, happy life and will be loved'.
Quick Q&A :
Least favourite thing about living in America : Strip-Malls
Favourite typically American food : Pie
Favourite place in San Francisco : Dolores Park
Favourite American singer/band: Creedence Clearwater Revival
Boat or bus: : Boat – Cruise preferably!
I've always been crazy but at least I'm not going insane (quote from an awesome Waylon Jennings song!).
I would never say never in California.

Sighting Details
I was stopped at traffic lights on erindale road and balcatta road, when just out of the blue a shadow covering a four lane street plus buildings flew over, I saw the shape of it, before it actually made me duck my head and I looked around to the other cars they did the same thing as well. It's shape which appeared in the middle of the intersection, was a huge triangle , and it actually was quite fast but just enough to see the shape, it just went over in a few seconds maybe ten. I was taken aback that I called hubby at 12:40pm, the incident happened at 12:32pm cause I automatically looked at my car clock, we had an event like this many many years ago in duncraig where there were quite a few reports about this huge huge shadow going over the suburb. Well, as I drove through intersection I tried to look in review mirror to see if I could identify anything eg. Plane or a very huge bird, but didn't see anything and we had clear skies all around, and definitely didn't hear any sound especially on the size of the shadow it cast, I have googled to see if anybody else observed anything but haven't read anything about this incident, here's hoping some one else's saw and reported it, just so I don't think I'm going mad.

C'mon, it's only fair right? Last week we posted a list of the 10 Best Animated Comic Book TV Adaptations of All Time.
Giving equal time to the opposite end of the spectrum, it's time to look at the 10 worst – the wrongheaded, the clunkers, the misfires, the "how did this ever make it to the airwaves? (and in some cases, they didn't)."
Like the "best" countdown, we're sticking to animated TV series, as opposed to full-length features, and sticking to shows based on American comic books.
So join us, won't you, on a nostalgic wrong turn down memory lane...
An unfortunate testament to the popularity of the Fantastic Four's the Thing in the '70s (he was the Wolverine of the era), this train wreck only gets spared the title of worst-ever because it was just a "loose" adaptation of the Marvel character.
Try this one on for size: In a more Scooby Doo-ish style of animation, teenager Benjy Grimm transforms into the gruff, streetwise Thing (with no connection to the FF to speak of) when he touches 2 magic rings together and recites the phrase Thing ring, do your thing!
Nope, not kidding...
Pair it with Flintstones segments during the same hour and you get a couple million 10-year-old comic book fans screaming "WTF!?" (or whatever the 70s equivalent was) at their TVs the morning of its debut on September 8, 1979.
These days you gotta dig deep just to find evidence that this show existed.
Remembered mostly for its kitschy theme songs...
When Captain America throws his mighty shield,
All those who chose to oppose his shield must yield.
... this was one of the very first animated comic book adaptations, although adaptation might be too strong of a word, as it was basically static panels lifted straight from the comic books, with music, dialogue, moving lips and the occasional arm movement or two added for TV.
Yes, it was motion comics 40 years before we started calling them motion comics and therefore not the most fulfilling television experience, even considering the era.
The animation technique understandably wasn't seen or heard from on TV again for decades until inexplicably...
... Marvel and Reginald Hudlin revived it some 42 years later for what was proposed to be a Black Panther animated series for BET.
Based off of Hudlin and artist John Romita Jr.'s 2005 Black Panther comic book series, the motion comic animation style made for a perfectly adequate piece of comic book entertainment and the six episodes produced are generally well-regarded, but the limited production value simply makes the end-product more suited for home video than a full-fledged television program in the 21st century.
As such, it never aired on BET and it fact has only aired on broadcast TV on an Australian kids TV channel.
As discussed in our "best" animated series countdown, there are a couple of inalienable truths about comic book-based cartoons in the '90s – a lot of independent comics managed to get their own shows, and the X-Men series was really popular.
Both of those factors probably explain the odd existence of Ultraforce, an animated series that ran for 13 episodes in 1995. Clearly attempting to capitalize on the success of X-Men, the opening sequence was practically identical, showcasing each member displaying their power, followed by a logo featuring the character name.
Though one of many successful non-Marvel/non-DC superhero teams of the '90s boom, there wasn't even that much Ultraforce material to draw on for a cartoon the comic started the year before, right around the time publisher Malibu Comics went under. The properties were acquired by Marvel, but have been in legal limbo for years – though you don't hear people asking about Ultraforce nearly as much as you do, say, Marvelman.
It was the West Coast Avengers. In terrible armored costumes. In the future.
If that's not enough for you to understand why Avengers: United They Stand only lasted one 13-episode season, let's focus on the villains for a moment, shall we? With the entire stable of Avengers villains that were available to them, the big bad of the season was... the Zodiac. Eggman and Whirlwind also made appearances, along with everyone's favorite: Dragonfly.
Iron Man and Captain America were each in one episode, and Thor was in the opening titles but not ever on the show itself.
Once again: West Coast Avengers. In terrible armored costumes. In the future. If we somehow didn't undersell this show to you enough, you can watch it all on Marvel.com.
Okay, to be fair, two of these (Cyberforce and Youngblood) were never actually produced and Savage Dragon lasted 26 episodes and generally wasn't half-bad. We're just lumping them all together due to the legacy (or lack thereof) of Image Comics animated programs in the mid-1990s.
MTV's The Maxx and HBO's Spawn fared a bit better, because they were created for more mature audiences, but considering the hold Image and their creators had on the comic book/pop culture world during the era, to not have more to show on the animated front in the Image time capsule is something of a black mark.
A lot of '90s comic book-based cartoons had great theme songs. Then there was Swamp Thing, which had an opening number that went a little something like this:
Swamp Thing!
 You are amazing.
 You fight everything... nasty.
 Swamp Thing.
 Swamp Thing, Earth really needs you.
Yeah. And this came just years after Alan Moore's seminal run on the character, which changed the comic book game and thoughtfully pondered the very nature of existence while exploring issues traditionally off-limits in mainstream titles. Pretty much the same tone, right?
At the same time that Avengers: United They Stand was commissioned, this series also had 13 episodes, though when it first premiered on Fox Kids, it was pulled after a couple of episodes... for Avengers.
While Fox did eventually air the full 13 episode season, the show, which took place on Counter-Earth and featured a suit that, frankly, has a lot of the same properties as some of the new suits Peter Parker has developed in recent comics (also a lot of the same properties as the very-popular-at-the-time-Batman Beyond, coincidentally or not), somehow never caught on.
The show has its cult following, but it's not likely you'll ever see the Beastials popping up into regular Marvel continuity. Still, it had its redeeming qualities, like Jennifer Hale as Mary Jane Watson and its use of Machine Man.
Yeah, sorry, it isn't getting the top (worst) for the previously stated reason but to make up for that we're counting it twice...
"Thing ring," really?
Remarkably, as knuckle-headed as it was, The Thing isn't even the most infamous animated butchering of Marvel's First Family.
That honor belongs to this 1978 series that will forever be remembered for replacing the Human Torch with robot sidekick H.E.R.B.I.E." Humanoid Experimental Robot, B-type, Integrated Electronics, for whomever's wondering.
For years, urban legend maintained the Torch was excised from the show (despite being present in a late '60s version) because NBC executives didn't want to encourage impressionable young boys to light themselves on fire, but the real explanation is apparently much less cool than that the rights to the characters were tied up in a proposed-but-never-produced Human Torch TV pilot.
Despite a stable of hundreds of Marvel characters presumably available for a replacement (how awesome would Power Man have been?), H.E.R.B.I.E. was no doubt created due to the popularity of robot sidekicks during the late '70s (see: R2-D2 and C-3PO).
Only 13 episodes were produced, the least by far of the four Fantastic Four animated series, yet it remains the most well known in a landslide.
Thanks, H.E.R.B.I.E.

Issued at 929 PM CDT Sun Aug 21 2016 Northwest flow pattern aloft and a weak short wave resulting in some virga/light rain showers across southern Manitoba northern halves of counties along the international border. Will back isolated showers into Roseau-Pembina-Cavalier counties, although most likely scenario will be sprinkles that will barely wet the surface. Will increase sky in those areas as well. Temps for tonight and tomorrow look good and no changes needed. UPDATE Issued at 703 PM CDT Sun Aug 21 2016 No significant changes to ongoing forecast. Reduced sky cover to near zero for majority of CWA. High pressure to east resulted in dry air mass, however return flow sets up tonight and will bring warmer temperatures on Monday. && .SHORT TERM...(This evening through Monday) Issued at 300 PM CDT Sun Aug 21 2016 Predominantly quiet weather is expected through Monday. Low level warm advection will persist into Monday amidst return southerly surface flow behind departing surface high pressure as northwesterly flow aloft is replaced eventually by low-amplitude mid/upper-level ridging. Models have continued to hint at the potential for a few showers to brush Lake of the Woods by later this evening within a zone of stronger low/mid-level warm advection. However, with deep moisture confined well south of the region and a quite dry lower atmosphere, any precipitation should be light. By later Monday, 850 mb temps will climb into the 20-23C range over the region. With a continued rather dry airmass entrenched, temps should climb easily into the 80s, with some low 90s possible into eastern North Dakota closer to the thermal ridge axis. .LONG TERM...(Monday night through Sunday) Issued at 300 PM CDT Sun Aug 21 2016 The H5 ridge axis looks to pass across the Red River Valley early Monday evening with southwest flow increasing aloft during the evening and overnight. NAM12 shows the axis of an H8 low level jet arcing up into southcentral SD around midnight...then leaning into westcentral MN during the morning hours on Tuesday. This does set up for some residual forenoon showers across the southeast FA...but with more substantive convective development expected late on in the day as an upper level H5 trof presses in from the northwest. Model guidance generally favors strong to severe storms initiating in the late afternoon on Tuesday...ahead of a cold front dropping trough northcentral and northeast ND...with later development coalescing along the leading surface trof in central MN. Regardless of the eventual focusing elements /heat, moisture and energy/...most all of the Red River Basin is located between the two most probable development axes...with a good chance for widespread deep convection in the offing. Wednesday looks to remain unsettled but markedly cooler...with an unstable cold pool aloft and residual showers possible...especially across the northern FA. Seasonably cooler and more stable northerly flow persists into Thursday...with dry conditions expected. By Friday... a flat jet stream flow pattern over the Northern Plains starts to turn more southwesterly as H5 troffing digs into coastal California. a return southerly surface develops as well... promising a warmer and more convectively unstable weekend for our area. && .AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Monday evening) Issued at 703 PM CDT Sun Aug 21 2016 VFR conditions with southerly winds throughout TAF period. && .FGF Watches/Warnings/Advisories...
