Stampede hand, horses hurt during attempted theft
By The Canadian Press
BLACK DIAMOND, Alta. - World champion steer wrestler Lee Graves and three of his horses were injured when his truck and trailer were stolen south of Calgary.
Mounties say they got a report that a truck and trailer with three horses inside had been stolen outside a hotel in Black Diamond early Wednesday evening.
Graves, concerned for his animals, searched the town and found his outfit being driven down a street.
He jumped on the running board of the truck and tried to reason with the driver, but the driver sped off, hitting a barrier and throwing Graves off.
Police found the truck and trailer abandoned a short time later in Turner Valley, and horses, named Dave, HYTY and Snap, were distraught, with cuts and bruises.
Joshua Lemire, who is 23, of Turner Valley, is facing several charges including endangering animals and criminal negligence causing bodily harm.
Lemire is in custody and is set to appear in court in Turner Valley on Tuesday.
Graves will continue to work as a hand at the Calgary Stampede despite his injuries. He and his horses are not competing in the Stampede.
Police say it was "sheer luck" that no one was seriously injured or killed.
"It's his livelihood that's been affected and ultimately it could have been his life," said Cpl. Terry Hamelin with Turner Valley RCMP.
Hamelin said the horses were being knocked around pretty good during the ride.
"The trailer is even dented in spots where the horses were slamming into the walls, the trailer's dented out," he said.
"Someone had called in and said, we see this truck and trailer driving and he keeps hitting his brakes and all we hear is thumps and thuds and it sounds like there's equipment in there getting knocked around but it was actually these poor horses that were being knocked around."

Who are the Finatics?
The Finatics started way back in 1992, when a group of friends who worked together at a software company started tailgating at the Dolphins home games. We met at a specific location in the parking area known as "E12" and our first web site was born as E12.com.
Later on through the years, we've moved to different places in the parking lot. But also, the Finatics became more about tailgating. It's now our views of the Miami Dolphins from the parking lot to the field. In September 1997, Finatics.com was born. Since 2004, we are an "Officially Recognized Fan Website" of the Miami Dolphins.
In case you are looking for us in the parking lot, we're still there! We're now at EAST 15 row / aisle 218, and try to get to most of the Dolphins home games. Look for the Finatics flag!!!

SeaWorld staff treating injured seal from La Jolla's Children's Pool
City News Service
A harbor seal pup rescued at the Children's Pool in La Jolla was in critical condition with an infection Friday at SeaWorld San Diego, park officials said.
The 16-pound male pup, believed to be less than a week old, was found Thursday after it was abandoned by its mother on the beach and was later taken to the park's animal care complex.
The seal is being bottle fed and treated with antibiotics, and experts are cautiously optimistic it can recover and be returned to the ocean.
Pupping season for the seals is Dec. 15 through May 15, and a rope is kept up at the Children's Pool to discourage people from going down to the beach and disturbing the marine mammals.

How to Begin Mastering Chess
Two Methods:Chess HelpMastering ChessCommunity Q&A
Chess is a highly competitive game played by millions of people around the world. The basics can be mastered in a matter of minutes. Advanced strategic concepts can take years to come to terms with and a lifetime to master.
Chess Help
Mastering Chess
1Learn the rules. This might seem obvious but many people will start playing the game before they fully understand all the rules. Be sure to come to terms with "en passant", "castling" and "checkmating".
2Study basic checkmates. Don't stop until checkmating positions have become second nature. Start by studying easy mating combinations like king vs. king & queen or king vs. king & rook. Then move on to more difficult combinations like king vs. king & pawn. Eventually work your way up to the most difficult combination that will be used, king vs. king & bishop & knight.
- The book "1001 brilliant ways to checkmate" by Fred Reinfeld helps to see checkmates and will help you to calculate basic variations. The book starts out easy with queen sacrifices and then has harder checkmates later.
3Study basic combinations and tactics. Start by learning forks, skewers, pins, discovered attacks and double attacks. Learn how to set up these combinations by finding vulnerable pieces to attack or by taking away the defender.
- The book "1001 Winning Chess Sacrifices and Combinations" by Fred Reinfeld helps to train basic combinations and calculation.
4Learn opening concepts/rules. Your opening moves set the stage for the rest of your game. Pay close attention to development, time, central control, space, pawn structure and king safety.
5Basic Opening Strategy is, "Rapid development of pieces and fight to control the center". Delay commitment of your pieces. For example, if a bishop has 3 viable moves and a knight has 1, move the knight to maximize adapting to later positions.
6Move the king or queen pawn 2 squares to control the center.
7If your opponent does not prevent it, move both the King and Queen pawns up 2 squares.
8Attack with gain of time whenever possible.
9Castle early: preferably on the King side.
10Don't move your queen out early, she is subject to attack.
11Don't move the six outside pawns, (three pawns on each side). This wastes time and loosens the castled king position. This also invites your opponent to attack.
12Move knights before bishops because they control the center better and you might not yet know the best squares for the bishops.
13) Move your rooks to open files or towards the center because center files usually open.
14)Don't move the queen pawn 1 square if it traps the king bishop. Move the bishop first.
15Try to control the center.
16Don't attack before you complete your development.
17In Queen Pawn openings, don't trap your queen bishop pawn with the knight.
18He who takes the knight pawn sleeps in the streets.
19Don't go pawn hunting in the opening unless it is a center pawn.
20Castle because you will or because you must, not because you can.
21Don't attack too early because a premature attack will fail.
22Don't sacrifice a pawn without a clear and adequate reason.
23Don't move the same piece twice in the opening because it wastes time.
24Study endgames. Endgames enable you to understand how the pieces work individually. They also improve your calculating abilities, as many times endgames can be won out of pure calculating power. Everything you pick up by studying endgames can be applied to middle-games and even openings; you could, for instance, judge if a certain exchange is good for you by analyzing what kind of endgame could arise from that position.
- Basic endgame strategy is that you must ahead in material by at least a rook to mate. The exception to this rule is that two knights and a king cannot force mate on a lone king.
- If you are ahead in material exchange pieces not pawns.
- If you are behind in material, exchange pawns not pieces and go for the draw. If your opponent is left with a knight or bishop advantage and there are no pawns, he cannot force mate.
25Practice. Play as much as possible, even if you have to play yourself. Be sure to apply what you have learned.
26Record your games. This allows you to go back over your games to study your mistakes and missed opportunities. If possible, store an archive of your games in ".pgn" format with attached notes. Tournament games are especially good because you are likely to face skilled opponents who are willing to analyse the game together with you in the "post-mortem".
27Study classic games. Many grandmasters and masters over the past couple hundred years have pumped decades of their lives into researching the game. You can learn a few things from their games. If possible go over the record making your own notes. Then compare that with what others have written.
28Play Tournaments. The chess organizations that run chess tournaments (i.e. the World Chess Federation[1]) rate players based on their performance. This rating is a very clear indication of a players abilities in tournament settings. The rating system is broken into class ratings (J-A) and titles (expert, master, international master, grandmaster). Getting involved in tournament play is a necessary step if one wishes to compare his or her chess strengths with the chess community at large.
Community Q&A
- 1. Is this opening will lead to a faster development?
- Opening: You need to study opening that will suit you and you will love to play it in your opponents. But for beginners you must follow the guidelines in studying openings.
- 3. Am I comfortable in this opening?. Next is you must study the middle game stage and buying books will help you a lot. In endgame stage you need to know the basic position and guidelines. The rook ending, the worth of a piece, pawn endings etc. Lastly you must not only play chess but also love it and play with passion.
- 2. Is the variation here is simple, or needs a lot of learning?

Kuala Lumpur is home to countless temples and religious sites that culturally inclined tourists will want to peruse. The following are just a few examples of what the city has to offer.
Planning a trip? Book a private tour guide in Malaysia for a customized tour!
Raja Rajeswary Temple
Established in 1974, this peculiar Hindu temple consists of nine interlocking triangles, five of which are downward pointing, and the remaining four are upright. The entrance of the temple is adorned with a water fountain, whilst the rear end of the temple has a spectacular waterfall.
Wei Zhen Gong Guan Yin Si
Located next door to the Maharajalela Monorail station, this little gem of a Hokkien temple was built in the 19th century. Part of its allure is the fact that it is off the typical tourist map, making it a good place for some quiet contemplation.
Gurdwara Sahib Polis
This pretty blue and white structure was built to service British colonial officers. Today, it is used primarily by Malaysian police officers of the Sikh persuasion. Nonetheless, it is open to the public and well worth a visit.
Sri Maha Mariamman
One of the most important Hindu temples in Kuala Lumpur has occupied its current site since the 1880s, but the current structure largely dates from the late 1960s. Its most impressive feature is the five-tier tower. It features 228 brightly colored figures from the Indian epic, the Ramayana.
Kuan Ti
The Kuan Ti (or Guan Ti) Taoist Temple was completed in 1888, and is dedicated to the Chinese God of War and Literature.

- October 15th Call to Action Posted Oct. 14, 2011, 1:07 a.m. EST by OccupyWallStOver the last 30 years, the 1% have created a global economic system – neoliberalism– that attacks our human rights and destroys our environment. Neoliberalism is worldwide – it is the reason you no longer have a job, it is the reason you cannot afford healthcare, education, food, your mortgage.Neoliberalism is your future stolen.Neoliberalism is everywhere, gutting labor standards, living wages, social contracts, and environmental protections. It is "a great vampire squid wrapped around the face of humanity, relentlessly jamming its blood funnel into anything that smells like money."It is a system that ravages the global south and creates global financial crisis – crisis in Spain, in Greece, in the United States. It is a system built on greed and thrives on destablizing shocks.It allows the 1% to enrich themselves by impoverishing humanity.
This has to stop!We must usher in an era of democratic and economic justice.
We must change, we must evolve.On October 15th the world will rise up as one and say, "We have had enough! We are a new beginning, a global fight on on all fronts that will usher in an era of shared prosperity, respect, mutual aid, and dignity."

While I'm not in the market for a new synth, the Nord Clavia Lead A1 has caught my eye thanks to this video by Sonic State.
Here is what I like about the synth and the video so far.
How Does it Compare to Nord Lead 2x?
While the A1 is missing some componetns of the Nord Lead 4, the components they do share do not appear to be watered down. There are are many new features that don't exist in the Lead 4 - yet. Kristoffer Ulfves mentions at the end of the video that some of these features may end up in the Nord Lead 4 so nice of Nord to consider adding value for existing customers. Nord has posted a handy comparison of the A1 to Nord Lead 2x generation synths in PDF form here.
How Does Nord A1 Compare to Nord Lead 4?
Of course it would have been nice to see a comparison to Lead 4 so I created a little graphic with both panels combined with Lead 4 on top (click panel to view large version).

Yellowstone National Park, WY (AP) - Bicyclists will be able to travel on nearly 50 miles of roads accessible from the West Entrance into Yellowstone National Park starting on Thursday.
The roads into the park from West Yellowstone, Mont., to Mammoth Hot Springs will open at 8 a.m. Thursday.
There is no bicycle access to Old Faithful or Canyon until the first interior park roads open to motorized vehicles on April 18. The road from the North Entrance at Gardiner, Mont., remains open all year as weather permits.
Park Service officials warn bicyclists heading into Yellowstone must be prepared for harsh weather. Snow and ice may still cover sections of road.
Bicyclists could encounter bears, bison, elk, wolves and other wildlife at any time. No services are available along the road.

There are two categories of over-the-counter pain relievers/fever reducers: acetaminophen and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).
Acetaminophen is used to relieve headaches, muscle aches and fever. It is also found in many other medicines, such as cough syrup and cold and sinus medicines.
OTC NSAIDs are used to help relieve pain and reduce fever. NSAIDs include aspirin, naproxen, ketoprofen and ibuprofen, and are also found in many medicines taken for colds, sinus pressure and allergies.

New best in Monte Carlo
Roger continued his impressive form on clay as he swept into the semi-finals of the Masters Series event in Monte Carlo with a straight-sets victory over David Ferrer: 6-1, 6-3.
Roger and Rafael Nadal are now one match away from their first clash of the season after clinical wins in the Monte Carlo quarter-finals. Roger outclassed David Ferrer in just 61 minutes while defending champion and number two Nadal defeated Argentine Guillermo Coria 6-2 6-1 on Centre Court.
Roger clinched his quarter-final on his first match point dominating eighth seed Ferrer throughout. "It's my first tournament on clay but I have been practising with the French Open in mind for six months and I felt well physically today," he said.
Roger's semi-final opponent will be Ivan Ljubicic of Croatia or Fernando Gonzalez of Chili who were facing each other in the last quarter-final. "If I had to choose, I would pick Ljubicic because I defeated him everytime we met but both of them are playing well and it will be a difficult match," Roger said.
can't wait to see the final match!!
Congratulations on your win against Ferrer!! What an awesome backhand to win the match and I saw your beautiful forehand dropshot in the highlight at atpmastersseries.tv. I just love it when your backhands painted the line and when you hit yo

Accident Victims Represented
Our attorneys are highly experienced in providing legal representation for the following types of accident cases:
Auto Accident Attorney, Car Accident Lawyers
Choosing an Auto Injury Attorney
Automobile accidents happen every day to thousand of Americans, yet many people are unaware of what to do when they've been involved in an automobile accident, and know even less about how to go about hiring an attorney to represent them after the accident. Having an experienced and skilled automobile accident law firm, like the Law Offices of Michael Barszcz, M.D., J.D. in Orlando, Florida, can mean the difference between collecting damages and having to pay someone for inflicting damage on you, your loved ones, and your property.
What to Look For
Hiring the first lawyer you find in the phone book could ultimately cause you a major loss in the end, all to save a few dollars.
Automobile accidents can be hard to understand and "figure out," so to speak, with multiple causes and effects. Also, many different people, agencies, and organizations may be involved in determining the cause of the accident and who or what was ultimately at fault. Navigating this maze of people and paperwork can be daunting and time-consuming, and it is easy to make a mistake, so hiring an auto accident attorney with years of experience in these types of cases is a must.
Experience is important, but that experience has to translate into winning cases. Your attorney should be able to point to success in previous cases similar to yours, proving their track record when it comes to winning cases for their clients. Always look for proof of winning verdicts and case settlements in automobile accidents cases similar to yours.
Familiarity with the Law
While sounding obvious, many firms are so large and handle so many cases that while they may be familiar with certain aspects of the law, they may be less familiar with more local aspects such as city ordinances or county statutes. It's important to find a lawyer with local expertise and a wide range of experience.
Personal Attention
Many law firms are so large that much of their work is done by paralegals and temps. You may only work with a lawyer for a short period of time, and this may decrease your chance of success in a lawsuit. Look for a law firm where the clients can be dealt with on a more personal, compassionate level by actual lawyers.
Medical Knowledge
Many automobile accidents result in some sort of injury, however minor. So, to successfully prove injury to a judge and/or jury, a lawyer must have at least a working knowledge of the body and medicine. Finding Orlando Car Accident Lawyers with medical expertise provides you with an angle and body of knowledge against which other lawyers cannot compete.
Automobile Accident Experts
Automobile accidents can be traumatic and painful experiences, but finding the right lawyer can limit the amount of legal pain you feel afterwards. If you or a loved one live in the Orlando, Florida area and have been in an automobile accident and are searching for a quality auto accident attorney, please contact the Florida car accident lawyers at the Law Offices of Michael Barszcz, M.D., J.D.

Welcome to Scale ModelWorld the greatest Model Show on earth.
Scale ModelWorld is an annual exhibition held over two days every November. The show is organised and run by the International Plastic Modellers' Society and since 1998 the venue has been The International Centre in Telford.
Scale ModelWorld is without doubt the largest model show in the world encompassing all four halls of the Telford International Centre and is unmatched in its size and diversity which helps to attract the huge visitor numbers who come from not only the United Kingdom and Europe but from all over the world. In 2013 our 50th Anniversary year over 40 overseas groups displayed and visitor numbers were the highest we have ever recorded.
In 2015 over 190 traders attended the event from all over the World including China, Japan, Russia, America, Europe and the UK and included major manufacturers such as Airfix, Revell and Zoukei Mura. Trade space for the 2016 show is selling fast.
190 club displays were distributed over the large halls with every imaginable genre or special interest in the modelling world represented somewhere among the many thousands of models on display. An important part of these displays is the Overseas area in which you can find numerous traders and clubs from all over the globe and soak up the truly international and vibrant atmosphere. We have always been known for the warm welcome given to new visitors and regulars alike and you will find that your time flies past so fast that the two days are over in a flash and you didn't manage to get around half of the show, which is a good incentive to come again next year!
Scale ModelWorld hosts the internationally renowned IPMS (UK) Annual Model Competition with over 100 different classes and individual trophies. Only members of an IPMS organisation of which there are over 60 worldwide can enter models in the competition but all visitors are welcome to view the models in the competition area.
SMW also hosts a truly massive Kit Swap which grows in size and popularity each year, where IPMS members can sell surplus items. Members have priority access in the morning but later in the day all are welcome to go in search of a bargain or that Long-Out-of-Production-Kit. Light refreshments, hot meals, hot and cold drinks and licensed bar are all available in the halls. There are two hotels onsite and many others nearby. Additional information on the venue, travel and accommodation is available here.

Four Years in, GOP Support for Tea Party Down to 41%
Tea Party support, more than anything else, appears to substantially correlate with the more straightforward characteristics of being a core, conservative Republican. Thus, these trends may suggest that the GOP is on a more moderate track in general. Clearly Mitt Romney's presidential nomination in 2012 was evidence of waning Tea Party support, and currently the Tea Party cannot even claim majority support of the GOP base, further hindering its influence to remake the party in its own image. The results of several high profile primary contests later this month will be important indicators of the reality of the Tea Party's influence. Still, whatever else happens, Tea Party supporters will continue to be a presence in American politics because of their apparent motivation and interest in election outcomes, factors that, more than likely, will translate into support for candidates, and higher Election Day turnout.
Right. Of course, Romney was nominated with solid backing from the Gentry GOP, while the Tea Partiers frittered their primary numbers away in backing half a dozen candidates, most of which were no-hopers.
Frittered? Sure: Romney's popular primary vote total in 2012 was barely more than 50% – 52.3%. But it took Romney several months before he managed to achieve a 50% majority in any single primary, and many of his later lopsided victories were achieved after the only "viable" candidate still opposing him was Rick Santorum, who was simply too much for many of us to stomach – or vote for.
I'd like to see Gallup run a poll in which they compare support for the establishment GOP versus support for the Tea Party. That's not likely to happen, though. Too embarrassing for the Gentry.
Check out my new bestseller, Lightning Fall: A Novel of Disaster. Glenn Reynolds at Instapundit.com says: "Bill Quick has authored a terrific thriller that is also an all too plausible warning. Highly recommended!" Available in Kindle e-book or trade paperback formats.

Logitech G330 on Amazon
When your strapped for cash your product choices become very limited. The stars seem to align when you can find very affordable products that also get the job done. This happens to be one of those times, with the Logitech G330 you don't have to sacrifice to get an excellent gaming audio experience. This is my favorite 'light' computer headset and in my opinion the best PC gaming headset in it's price range you can buy.
Best PC Gaming Headset for under $40 ?
Of course if you have 100 to 200 dollars to spend you can get some very nice headsets, but generally those are much bigger, bulkier and include 5.1 surround sound. But bigger headsets can become uncomfortable after a few hours of use and are much more difficult to take places, not to mention the sometimes difficult process of setting up the surround sound correctly.
So what if you don't need something like that or have a ton of cash? Well that's where the Logitech G330 comes in. First of all it's extremely light, while it gently wraps around your ears and the back of your neck. It's a very flexible and has an adjustable band. The mic can be moved to the perfect spot or completely out of the way, and has extremely good background noise cancellation, while giving crystal clear clarity to your voice when doing voice chat or using Skype. I would even go so far as to call it the best PC headset instead of the best PC gaming headset, since it will more than satisfy non gamers as well.
This headset is still comfortable, even after 8 straight hours of wearing it, mainly because of it's light weight and behind the head design which takes relieves pressure. The sound is very good for this price range as well. The headset is built with high quality materials and much of it has a rubbery-soft feel to it. It comes with a USB dongle so you have the choice of plugging it into USB or directly into the sound and mic ports on your PC.
I also love how this headset is very durable and extremely portable, you can sit on it by accident without causing any damage to it, and you can throw it in your bag or backpack with ease. Even though I own a sub $200 headset I still prefer this headset to take with me whenever I go anywhere. The cord also has convenient built in volume control and mic mute switch. It takes a culmination of excellent features like these to be the best PC gaming headset in it's class.
The only real negatives I've noticed are that the audio quality could be a bit better as it's range is somewhat limited. And after over a year of use the red rubber insert piece that is part of the behind-the-neck band started to 'peel' out, I think they could have found a better way to attach this piece than the adhesive they use… however Logitech is terrific company and replaced my headset under the warranty at no cost to me… so I got a brand new headset, which is great!
Logitech G330 Pros:
- Extremely comfortable even after many hours
- Great features
- Portable and durable
- Excellent microphone voice quality
- High quality materials
Logitech G330 Cons:
- Sound could be better quality
- Non replaceable ear pads
- No surround sound
- Red rubber 'inserts' may eventually start to detach
For the money you can't do better than this, even if your not a gamer I'm sure you'll love this headset. The comfort that this headset provides is unparalleled. You'll have great sound for your gaming and music, and excellent mic performance. Backed by Logitech, this PC gaming headset has very high quality and durability built right in. It's super portable and won't let you down.
Even if you already own a pricier headset I would recommend this as an extra pair. This is the ideal headset and definitely the best PC gaming headset for under $40.

Technology can be a great enabler, helping people to earn a living. But it is also a mirror of social inequality. Some of us have a glut of high-tech devices, others don't even have electricity. Under the rubric of 'technology transfer' useless or harmful technology is often dumped on the Global South. How to make technology work for the poor?

St Mungo's opts for Kypera's Rent Accounting System
Published by Craig Brock for Kypera Limited in Housing and also in Local Government
Kypera Ltd
St Mungo's, one of the UK's leading homelessness charities, is set to go live with a new rent accounting system from Kypera at the end of February 2013. St Mungo's had outgrown its existing system and approached Kypera for a new system and support in facilitating the smooth management of its 1,700 units. The Kypera system will help St Mungo's to manage rent accounts, rent recovery and voids more efficiently and to improve reporting.
Kypera Housing is a modular system offering flexibility to housing providers, and St Mungo's has selected a solution that includes Rent Accounting, Direct Debits and Linked Accounts. This will enable the organisation to deal cost effectively with all rental payments, voids and arrears, as well as handle items such as recovered funds, court costs and rechargeable repairs transparently and efficiently. In addition, St Mungo's will be using the CRM system within Kypera to hold details of its clients, eliminating the need to re-key data, saving time and preventing the associated risk of errors.
Tony Griffiths, Rent Manager at St Mungo's commented: "St Mungo's is always seeking systems which enable us to offer high quality, cost effective services to our residents. We were very pleased that Kypera's system allows for flexibility in response to forthcoming Welfare Changes."
Craig Brock, Business Services Director at Kypera added: "The ability to respond to legislative changes quickly is important to our customers and we have taken the lead in enabling them to prepare for the proposed changes in the Welfare Reform Bill by increasing the functionality in Kypera Housing."

|Improved Near-Infrared Spectral Responsivity Scale
|September 01, 2000
|A cryogenic radiometer-based system was constructed at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) for absolute radiometric measurements to improve detector spectral responsivity scales in the wavelength range from 900 nm to 1800 nm. In addition to the liquid-helium-cooled cryogenic radiometer, the system consists of a 100 W quartz-tungsten-halogen lamp light source and 1 m single-grating monochromator for wavelength selection. The system was characterized and the uncertainty in radiant power responsivity measurements evaluated. A variety of photodetectors, including indium gallium arsenide photodiodes (InGaAs), germanium (Ge) photodiodes, and pyroelectric detectors were subsequently calibrated. Over most of the spectral range, the radiance responsivity of the photodetectors can be measured with a combined relative standard uncertainty of 0.4% or less. This is more than a factor of two less than our previous capabilities, and represents a significant improvement in the near infrared (NIR) spectral responsivity scale maintained at NIST. We discuss the characterization of the monochromator-based system and present results of photodetector spectral response calibrations.

Prepcaine, our pre-procedure topical anesthetic, is effective in the numbing of the epidermis PRIOR TO A SENSITIVE PROCEDURE.
This topical anesthetic is effective for numbing the skin prior to the initial outlining of a tattoo or the first
pass on a permanent makeup procedure or for pre-laser procedures or piercing. Pre-procedure topical anesthetics
are perfect for reducing the discomfort associated with painful skin procedure.
Our popular "all-purpose" pre-procedure topical anesthetic.
As the name implies, this anesthetic is applied in preparation for sensitive procedures. Apply this anesthetic to unbroken skin BEFORE tattooing, permanent makeup, electrolysis or other sensitive procedures.
This popular pre-procedure topical anesthetic cream has been recently reformulated and is now even more powerful. It is effective in numbing prior to all permanent makeup procedures and it reduces sensation on tattoo procedures performed on sensitive areas of skin. Tattoo professionals find it makes their work easier as people getting a tattoo are able to hold still more easily and handle longer periods of being under the needle.
This handy to use bottle contains 2% lidocaine and 1.5% tetracaine in a cream base. It is safe for use for all tattoo and permanent makeup procedures, though care should be taken to avoid getting it into the eyes or mouth.
As with any of our line of topical anesthetics you may combine quantities to receive the 12+ discount.
Available in 1.0 oz jar.
Professionals require effective ways to desensitize the skin. Whether performing a tattoo,
permanent makeup, laser services, body piercing or other sensitive procedure, the need for a
powerful, safe topical anesthetic is imperative. We offer six unique anesthetics, which may be
used separately or in conjunction with each other to effectively anesthetize (numb) skin before
and during procedures.

Gary's whole life has revolved around the ocean in one respect or another. Hailing from Mona Vale, New South Wales, Australia, Gary started paddling a Nipper board in 1970 at age nine, switched to rowing surfboats in 1976, discovered SUP paddling in 2007, and most recently Outrigger Canoes in 2010. After competing in surfboat races for 25 years including winning gold and silver in the International Life Saving World Titles, Gary turned his competitive passion to SUP races. As a dominant presence on the Florida SUP racing circuit, Gary's racing resume includes championships in the Cocoa Beach Surf Museum C2C (2007-2012), the East Coast Paddleboard Championships (2009-2013), the Florida State Paddleboard Championships (2008-2011) and the Key West Classic (2008-2011). Most recently, Gary finished first in the 2012 Hanohano Ocean Challenge, Long Course OC-1 Master's Division.
Gary first became involved in Surf Lifesaving in Australia in the 1970s and now serves as the Beach Safety Director at the South Walton Fire District in his current home county of South Walton, Florida. He also teaches the World Paddle Association Instructor's Certification Course, and has a background in sports performance coaching, sports psychology as well as being a PGA of Australia Professional. At YOLO Board, Gary focuses on the development of paddler and equipment performance. He is also sponsored by Human Sports Performance, Maui Rippers and Kialoa.
When not paddling, working or coaching, Gary enjoys time with his teenage sons Matt and Chris or playing a round of golf.
I try to be as active as possible, but most enjoy hanging out with my family, spending time on the water, traveling, or playing golf. As we get older I believe you should also try "give back". By being able draw from past experiences I'm able to help others get the most out of their pursuits, coach surf lifesaving and help the WPA guild our sport.
Waking to light offshore winds, head high waves, paddle surf with my family and friends first thing, followed by a big breakfast. Back in the water until a late lunch, then a nap or maybe a quick nine holes on the links followed by a sun set surf and finished off with a quiet family dinner while listening to the waves…
I've always believed in the slogan "Till the End". Playing hard till the end unfortunately has caused me too many operations. Having had my neck vertebrae fractured twice playing rugby and my left knee operated on 13 times now, including a knee replacement revision in Jan 2011. These days however it may be time to take it a little easier and leave the charging to the youngsters. But there are two things that will stay with me till the end, belief and respect. Belief in Karma, and respect to those who show respect.

PHOENIX, Ariz. — Ashland leadoff hitter Aaron Scott was 3-for-4 with two RBIs and junior pitcher Steen Fredrickson gave up only one earned runs in six innings, but the Grizzlies committed five errors that led to four unearned runs in a 5-4 loss to Mountain Range, Thursday at Greenway High School.
Ashland (0-2) scored twice in the fourth on RBI singles by Jett Hamik and Scott to take a 3-1 lead, but a misplayed ground ball allowed Mountain Range to avoid a 1-2-3 inning in the bottom half, and the Mustangs capitalized by scoring four runs to take the lead for good.
Eric Carlson singled and advanced to second on a wild throw to give the Grizzlies a chance to tie the game with one out in the seventh, but a strikeout and fly out squashed Ashland's comeback hopes.
For the Mustangs (4-2), Noah Draper was 4-for-4 with three doubles and two RBIs.
Fredrickson struck out three and walked two in his first outing of the season. His counterpart, Mountain Range starter Tanner Peterson, gave up three earned runs on four hits in 5 2/3 innings.
Ashland concludes its Arizona trip today against Castle View. The first pitched is scheduled for 1 p.m.
Ashland 001 201 0 — 4 9 5
Mountain Range 100 400 x — 5 8 2
Fredrickson and Glick; Peterson, Plunkett (6) and Caulkins. W — Peterson. L — Fredrickson. 2B — A: Glick, Scott, Sanderson; MR: Draper 3.

NEAH BAY, Wash. (AP) - The Coast Guard has located and rescued a solo diver who was reported missing in thick fog near Cape Flattery on the northwest Washington coast.
The Port Orchard, Washington, diver was reported to be in good condition Tuesday. He was taken to a hospital in nearby Neah Bay for further medical evaluation.
Petty Officer 3rd Class Jonathan Klingenberg says a concerned friend of the diver called for help via VHF radio on Tuesday morning, saying the diver had not resurfaced after the proper amount of dive time. The friend said he was unable to locate the diver on the water's surface due to thick fog.
A Coast Guard boat crew out of Neah Bay found the diver waving his arms at the water's surface.

WARRENTON, Ga.---The Warren County High School principal is out on bond today after a grand jury indicted him on allegations of sexual misconduct.
It's a story you first heard here on News 12.
One day after the grand jury returned true bills of indictment on the principal, Thomas McDonald turned himself in to officials. Warren County school superintendent Carole Jean Carey tells News 12 McDonald has resigned as principal.
Warren County students and alumni alike are stunned today after a grand jury charged their school's principal with some disturbing allegations.
One former student says this just doesn't seem like him.
"I thought he was cool because he had a lot of discipline and control over the kids, and I thought he was doing good..." Shawan Hudson said.
Two months after the GBI launched an investigation, Principal Thomas McDonald is being charged with enticing a child for indecent purposes and solicitation of sodomy.
"This has been most unfortunate, and we're all learning how to deal with it now," said Warren County school superintendent Carole Jean Carey.
A 15-year-old high school female accused the principal of telling her he wanted to have oral sex with her, then telling her she could change in front of him. She says it all took place just before they left for the big game on November 18.
While many still say they stand behind their administrator, others say the allegations are too serious to go unnoticed.
"Warrenton schools need to be more careful about who they put in the school system, because it could've went a lot further than that, and the child could've been seriously injured or raped," Hudson said.
Superintendent Carey says McDonald was initially put on administrative leave with pay until McDonald asked the board to be placed on a leave of absence without pay. She says they are in the process of taking personnel action, and because they're still in the middle of it she's not able to comment on that matter.

How Can We Get a Grant for a Women's Sports Program?
The federal government gives away hundreds of billions of dollars in grant programs every year andyou'd better believe that some of those dollars go toward building athletic programs for kids, adults, men and women.
Very little of this federal largess goes to individuals, so the very first thing you need to do if you want to apply for a grant for a women's sports program is to figure out your affiliations. A connection with a university or college, community group or civic organization, or a state or local government is exactly the sort of affiliation that enhances your eligibility for a grant.
Once you've got your connections worked out, head over to Grants.gov and start exploring.
Try a keyword search, for starters. Actually, try several searches, varying your terms each time. "Women's sports" might be your first search, followed by "college athletics" or "girls swimming" or "women's softball" or whatever terms make sense for the women's sports program you want to support.
You can also use the search tools at Grants.gov to search by eligibility, agency giving the grant, type of funding program or all of the above. Spend some time at the site, as its the central source for all of the U.S. government's grant-making activities.
If you find something that looks promising, then go ahead and register at Grants.gov, a necessary step before you can submit a grant application.
If nothing show up on your first visit, check in every few months. There is a constant stream of new funding opportunities from the feds, so it pays to bookmark the site and become a regular visitor.
And don't forget…I'd like two tickets to the softball championships, please.

A US guest at my rowing club explained that the great increase in women's rowing [probably in other traditionally male sports] related to the greater availability of government grants if the the request was for women's participation.

WoW! I guess I didn't realize how long it's been since I've written! I've been out of school for just shy of a week now, about five days, but haven't even been home for all of it! My little sister and I packed up the car and headed home last Tuesday. The ride was a nice time for us to catch up, chat about some Christmas presents that we still need to pick up and talk about our plans for the winter vacation. Once I got home I had a nice day on Wednesday to spend in my snugglies and than early Thursday morning my mom and I met my aunt on the Massachusetts Pike and I headed to Boston for the next four days. I was there to obviously spend time with family that I hadn't gotten to see in a while but also on Saturday night we threw my grandparents a surprise 50th anniversary party!! It was an awesome time, I think they were really surprised and it was amazing to see, especially in this day and age, two people who have spent 50 years of their life with each other. As I watched them I could only hope that I would one day be as lucky as they are to be celebrating such a monumental occasion with such an amazing family surrounding them!
The other thing I've done since I got home was bought my ticket for the International Bowl Game in Toronto! If you keep up with college football at all you'll know that in a huge upset, UB's Bulls took out Ball State, an undefeated team! Well now on January 3rd we're heading up north for our bowl game and our Student Association along with our fan club True Blue, offered a great student package! For $10 we get a bus up to the game, a pre-game party, the ticket to the game and the bus back! So a few friends and I decided we just couldn't give that up and we reserved our tickets as soon as we got home!
I'm sure everyone else in the Northeast has been bunked down, hiding away from the snow just like my family has! I'm so excited that it is going to be such a white holiday season!
Before I head out I just want to wish all of our Jewish friends a happy first night of Hannukkah!!!! 🙂


text: Today's not just my day. I lack patience over some stuffs. I was acting superior to anybody. My niece even got scared at me for the first time. Now I feeling guilty for what I did. I already apologize to my niece and good thing, she understood what I meant by saying "sorry". Hmm, it must be the hormones that played crucial role for my being impatient, plus my being physically tired and exhausted! I am in my room now, conditioning myself to sleep early. Hope I wake up tomorrow feeling better. Goodnight world!

Stocks, Euro Jump While Oil Posts Best Gain Since 2009
Global stocks and the euro surged the most this year, oil had its biggest gain since 2009 and Spanish bonds rallied after European leaders reached an agreement that eased concern banks will fail.
The MSCI All-Country World Index climbed 3 percent, the most since November, while the Standard & Poor's 500 Index advanced 2.5 percent to cap its best June since 1999. The euro appreciated 1.7 percent against the dollar and rallied as much as 2 percent, the most since Oct. 27. Spain's two-year yield plunged more than a full percentage point. The S&P GSCI gauge of 24 commodities rose 5.6 percent, its biggest gain since April 2009, as oil surged 9.4 percent to $84.96 a barrel.
After talks ended at 4:30 a.m. in Brussels today, leaders of the 17 euro countries dropped requirements that taxpayers get preferred creditor status on aid to Spain's banks and opened the way to recapitalize lenders directly, while relaxing conditions on potential help for Italy. Before today, more than $4.9 trillion had been erased from global equities this quarter amid concern a worsening debt crisis will stifle the global recovery.
"It's a relief rally," said Ann Miletti, fund manager for Wells Fargo Advantage Funds in Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin. Her firm manages $201 billion. "The agreement at least brings some clarity and stabilization in the short term. More positive news out of Europe is all you need in a market that's been depressed given all the uncertainty out there."
The gain in the S&P 500 today was its biggest since Dec. 20 and trimmed its retreat for the quarter to less than 3.3 percent. The index rose 4 percent in June and 2 percent for the week.
Constellation Rallies
Constellation Brands Inc. rallied 24 percent, the most since at least 1986, after agreeing to buy the other half of its Crown Imports joint venture with Grupo Modelo SAB for about $1.85 billion, becoming the sole U.S. importer of top-selling Corona beer. Bank of America Corp., Cisco Systems Inc. and United Technologies Corp. surged more than 4 percent to lead gains in the Dow Jones Industrial Average, which rallied 277.83 points to 12,880.09.
Research In Motion Ltd. plunged after 19 percent in New York trading after posting a loss and delaying the next BlackBerry operating system.
Economic Data
Stocks rallied even as Commerce Department data showed U.S. consumer spending stalled in May, with household purchases, which account for about 70 percent of the economy, unchanged after a 0.1 percent increase the previous month. The median estimate of 75 economists surveyed by Bloomberg News called for no change in so-called nominal sales.
The Institute for Supply Management-Chicago Inc.'s business barometer showed business activity in the U.S. unexpectedly expanded in June at a faster pace as production and employment rebounded. The index increased to 52.9, topping the median estimate of 52.3. The Thomson Reuters/University of Michigan final index of sentiment fell to 73.2, trailing the median estimate of 74.1.
The yield on the 10-year U.S. Treasury note advanced seven basis points to 1.65 percent, leaving the rate 23 basis points lower this year.
The Stoxx 600 advanced the most since November and extended this month's rally to 4.8 percent. The gauge still retreated 4.6 percent in the quarter. National Bank of Greece SA, Bank of Ireland Plc and UniCredit SpA surged at least 13 percent to lead gains in 45 of 46 lenders in the index.
After markets closed in Europe, Germany's lower house of parliament approved the euro-area's permanent bailout fund, the European Stability Mechanism. The measure won a two-thirds majority in the chamber.
Asia, Emerging
The MSCI Asia Pacific Index rose 2 percent, reversing a 0.4 percent drop after the agreement was announced. Stocks fell earlier as a report showed Japan's factory output dropped the most since the March 2011 earthquake last month.
The MSCI Emerging Markets Index rose 3.6 percent, the biggest gain since September and trimming this quarter's decline to 9.8 percent. Russia's Micex Index climbed 3.3 percent. India's Sensex and the Hang Seng China Enterprises Index of Hong Kong-traded Chinese shares both jumped 2.6 percent. The yield on ruble-denominated government bonds due in 2018 fell 29 basis points to 8.02 percent after Russia's Financial Markets Service said it will give foreign depositaries including Euroclear Bank SA direct access to domestic sovereign debt markets.
Euro, Dollar
The euro surged 2.2 percent against the yen. Its gain versus the dollar left it 5.2 percent weaker since the end of March. The Dollar Index, which tracks the U.S. currency against those of six trading partners, tumbled 1.4 percent for its biggest drop since October. The Australian and New Zealand dollars jumped at least 1.6 percent against the greenback. The yen weakened against all 16 of its most traded peers.
Spain's two-year yield sank 114 basis points to 4.27 percent and 10-year rates slid 61 basis points to 6.33 percent, with the extra yield investors demanding to hold the securities instead of benchmark bunds narrowing 68 basis points to 475 basis points. The yield on the equivalent maturity Italian security dropped 38 basis points to 5.82 percent.
Volatility on Irish government debt was the highest in developed markets today followed by Spain and Italy, according to measures of 10-year bonds, the spread between two-and 10-year securities and credit-default swaps. Irish bonds rose as Prime Minister Enda Kenny said the EU accord marked a seismic shift in policy that may ease the burden on the nation's taxpayers.
Crude in New York led gains in the S&P GSCI index before an embargo on Iran starts. The EU agreed to ban the purchase, transportation, financing and insurance of Iranian oil starting July l. The sanctions are being imposed because western nations say Iran is hiding a nuclear weapons program. All 24 commodities tracked by the S&P GSCI advanced as lead, zinc, silver and copper rallied more than 4 percent.
The S&P GSCI dropped 13 percent in the second quarter and oil tumbled 18 percent, the biggest plunge for both since 2008.

National Fire Prevention Week , sponsored by the National Fire Prevention Association , is held every October to educate the public about the dangers of fires. National Fire Prevention week started in 1922 and to this day runs from the Sunday-Saturday in the week of October 9th. This week long event is the longest running public health and safety event on record.
This event is was originated to remember the Great Chicago Fire. Myth says that it was a cow that kicked over a lantern late night on October 8th, 1871. The fire set ablaze all night into the next day destroying over 2,000 acres, 17,400 homes and buildings, left 100,000 homeless, and even worse, killed 250 Chicago citizens.
Nobody to this day knows the real story of how the Great Chicago Fire started but, National Fire Prevention Week is meant to make sure a massacre like that never happens again.
Get your community involved in this essential educational event. Have your local fire station come into your office or school and teach fire safety. Give your event attendees fire safety brochures to take home and teach their families the important emergency information they learned at work. This is also a great time to have a fire drill in your work place. Make sure everyone knows the proper emergency procedures just in case of an accident.
Don't be ignorant about fire safety, contact ePromos to start spreading the word today! The next time you want to promote National Fire Prevention Week, just stop, drop, and roll right into ePromos!

The Atlanta Braves are baseball's gold-standard franchise when it comes to starting pitching. But only one man on the mound was worth his weight Thursday night.
All 170-something pounds of it.
Tim Lincecum turned around the Braves and sat them down, proving his might and value extends far beyond a mere collector of Cy Young Award trophies. The Giants benefited from an apparent blown call before pushing across a run on Cody Ross' two-out single in the fourth inning, and Lincecum made that slim advantage as secure as Fort Knox while going the distance for a 1-0 victory in Game 1 of their NL Division Series Thursday night.
While a surging crowd roared its approval, Lincecum pitched as if he was playing a 119-note jazz set. He improvised with his lethal changeup and slider -- a pitch he began throwing with regularity just a few weeks ago -- and pumped fastballs past the Braves' slow bats in the latter innings.
The limber little ace wasn't subtle on his final pitch. He pumped a 92 mph fastball straight down the middle as Derrek Lee, his head deeply pondering the breaking stuff he had seen all night, let it pass for Lincecum's 14th strikeout.
Lincecum only gave a subtle fist pump -- a puddle of still water with a stadium reverberating around him. Afterward, he talked of his workday as if he had just spent eight hours as a mall cop.
"It's hard to judge what better would be," he said. "If you come out on top, I think that's good."
His teammates were more effusive.
"It's one of the best pitching performances I've ever been a part of," said Ross, whose RBI single scooted under third baseman Omar Infante's glove. "It's so, so, so much better to be on this side. I know I never felt comfortable facing him. He's capable of doing what he did tonight day-in and day-out."
Reliever Sergio Romo was amazed that coaches asked him to unbutton his jacket in the eighth inning.
"They said go warm up, and I'm thinking, 'Why?' " Romo said. "Hey, I was a fan today. I was entertained from the first pitch to the last pitch. I've never seen that before, especially in the magnitude of a game like this.
"Holy cow. He had his A-plus game today."
Lincecum obliterated the Giants' postseason record of 10 strikeouts, last accomplished by Jack Sanford in Game 5 of the 1962 World Series at Yankee Stadium. Hal Schumacher (1936), Carl Hubbell ('33) and Jesse Barnes ('21) were the others.
Lincecum also finished two behind the division series record of 16 strikeouts, set by Kevin Brown for the San Diego Padres in 1998.
As playoff debuts go, it didn't quite match the no-hitter that Philadelphia's Roy Halladay threw Wednesday. But it was close enough. And while this is putting the parade float before the horse, if the Phillies and Giants coast through, it is possible that you could see a Lincecum-Halladay collision in Game 1 of the NL Championship Series.
Halladay has the look and build of a pitcher meant to stare daggers into hitters deep into October. But there were some who questioned whether Lincecum was ready to put a season's labor on his slender shoulders.
He rebounded exceptionally well from a woeful and winless August in which he lost all five of his starts.
"We never lost confidence in this kid," Giants manager Bruce Bochy said. "He was searching there for a little while, but he found it. He went out there and pitched as fine a ballgame as you can pitch.
In the second inning, Lincecum did the unimaginable. He threw 14 pitches, nine for strikes -- every last one of them a swing and a miss.
"I don't know how many he struck out, but it was more than fingers on my hands," Braves manager Bobby Cox said. "His breaking stuff is always out of the strike zone. Easier said than done: 'Don't swing at it.' It's almost impossible."
Lincecum and catcher Buster Posey switched to fastballs in the later innings, sensing the Braves were either late or tentative to swing.
"Their swings were telling me what I needed to throw," Lincecum said. "The game will show you. "... And I've got Buster back there helping me, so that makes it twice as easy."
The Braves' questionable gloves, a questionable umpiring call and a very questionable move by Cox allowed the Giants to break through in the fourth.
Posey hit a leadoff single and stole the first base of his major league career when Bochy put him in motion with two strikes on Pat Burrell. Braves right-hander Derek Lowe struck out Burrell, and replays appeared to show that second baseman Brooks Conrad applied his high tag before Posey reached the base, but umpire Paul Emmel called Posey safe.
Was he? Posey, Boy Scout that he is, answered honestly. And if he chopped down a cherry tree, he would admit to that, too.
"I guess it's a good thing we don't have instant replay right now," he said, smiling.
The call made a huge impact, but so did Cox's strategy.
After Juan Uribe struck out, Cox opted for Lowe to walk Pablo Sandoval intentionally -- even though the impatient hitter swung at two pitches out of the zone while striking out in his first at-bat.
Ross followed with a ground ball to the left side that was better placed than struck. It scooted under Infante's glove -- a play many third basemen would have fielded -- and took so long to reach Matt Diaz in left field that Posey scored without a play.
"We made the right move," Cox said in a terse interview session. "We made an error. He made the pitch and got a ground ball. We kicked it."
And Lincecum kicked it into overdrive.
"You get that one run, and you know how valuable that is in the postseason," he said. "So you try to turn it into shutdown mode."

"Revolution" Ends, "TMNT/Batman:TAS" Begins in IDW's November 2016 Solicitations
Comic Books
Here is the latest cool comic book moment in our year-long look at one cool comic book moment a day (in no particular order whatsoever)! Here's the archive of the moments posted so far!
Today is the mid-point of the calendar year, so to celebrate the occasion, I've chosen a particularly classic scene from Batman: The Dark Knight that I'm surprised that I have not featured yet! It's a chilling example of how twisted the Joker is.
One of the themes of Batman: The Dark Knight is that as soon as Batman returns, so do his villains, with Two-Face and Joker, in particular, coming out of almost hibernation upon the return of the Bat.
Batman: The Dark Knight #3 (which was written and drawn, of course, by Frank Miller, with inks by Klaus Janson and colors by Lynn Varley) shows us the Joker's rampage, and Batman's desperation to bring the Joker down, once and for all.
How it happens, though, is quite chilling.
"The" moment is tough, because while, yeah, it's pretty much the bit when Joker chooses to kill himself to frame Batman, but the final panel, where we see Batman basically REACTING to the situation is almost a stronger "moment" to me than the actual death of the Joker.
What say you all?
Here's to the second half of the year!!
Wow, you really like that one page, don't you?
Hehe, totally!
This moment (not just the one page shown, but the entire sequence :P) is what brought me back into comics. I always liked to flip through the TPBs at Barnes and Noble every once in a while, but once I borrowed and devoured the Dark Knight Returns from my suitemate, I knew I had to find the nearest comic book store and read everything in sight.
If I had a couple hundred million lying around, I'd finance a movie version of DKR starring Keaton, Nicholson, and Tommy Lee Jones, probably…
Frickin brilliant. Better than Watchmen. LOVE Dark Knight.
Such a good story. Some of the best splash pages ever come from DKR. I didn't get around to reading this until nearly ten years after it was published and it still blew me away.
"Watch…watch your language, son…" is the moment.
I always get chills from finding out the bad guy's breath smells like milk.
And I can't believe I'm correctly brian on something, but it's Dark Knight Returns. Dark Knight's the movie.
The COLLECTED edition is Dark Knight Returns, Jeff.
The individual issues were all Batman: The Dark Knight, with each issue having a different tagline (#1 being The Dark Knight Returns, #2 being The Dark Knight Triumphant, #3 being Hunt The Dark Knight and #4 being The Dark Knight Falls).
Actually, I see Micheal Ironside as TDKR Batman.
Can't pick a "moment" out of this scene…it's ALL good!
"Actually, I see Micheal Ironside as TDKR Batman."
Have a good day.
John Cage
Thans for the link, John Cage. Micheal Ironside would rock as a live-action over-the-hill Dark Knight, too!
Man, that episode of Batman TAS was great…Michael Ironside was an awesome pick for the voice.
I think I've probably gotten tired of the way Frank Miller writes, but I doubt I'll ever get tired of the way he draws. (Any of the ways, I suppose.)
Only in a future separated by decades from his original career could the Joker be certain that the citizens of Gotham would turn on Bats for killing him.
Wow, that didn't age well for me at all. The art looks clunky, like something out of Garbage Pail Kids cards, and the exposition feels kind of lame out of context.
For me from Joker's death to the last panel with Whatever's in him rustles as it leaves is the moment.
And I have to say from when I first read Batman Dark Knight all those years ago I could only ever see one actor playing him, and I'm surprised no ones mentioned him. One Word EASTWOOD!
PS and that's one more crime on the Jokers rap sheet 'Rustling!' Sorry I couldn't help myself
I'd rather see Eastwood as Sgt. Rock or Jonah Hex. I just can't see him in a superhero costume.
You kids might not know this but … in early appearances, Robin (Dick Grayson, natch!) used a sling-shot. Often. Bucky, on the other hand, used brass knuckles and a machine-gun.
I can actually picture Mr Bruce Campbell beefing up for the role… He's getting old enough!
Bruce Campbell would make an outstanding TDKR Harvey Dent.
You could argue that Eastwood's already done Jonah Hex via The Outlaw Josey Wales which I suspect was an inspration for Hex to begin with. But there is also another ageing actor who has worn the tights already and has the gravitas for the role, Adam West you know it makes sense
West's Batman was the polar opposite of "The Dark Knight Returns." But he would rock as Commissioner Gordon in any take on Batman.
Brian, I never knew the series was simply called Dark Knight! Tipping the hat!
[…] 183. Batman: The Dark Knight #3 […]
… I'd finance a movie version of DKR starring Keaton, Nicholson and Tommy Lee Jones…
I'd certainly watch a Keaton-Nicholson version of DKR, provided you kept Tommy Lee Jones as far away as possible.

There are, at most, between 3000 and 4000 New Zealand sea lions in existence. They were abundant at their time of discovery in 1806, but their numbers quickly diminished. They were exploited by settlers and shipwrecked sailors for their hides and oil. Although they have been protected by law since 1894, their numbers have remained unchanged in 70 years.
