Active Standard: C595 / C595M - 16
Developed by Subcommittee: C01.10 | Committee C01 | Contact Staff Manager
1. Rationale
A comment on a previous ballot questioned whether the current 5% tolerance on ingredients for blended cement ingredients was appropriate, particularly for materials in low quantities. An example was given of a Type IP cement made with a silica fume content of 4%. The 5% (by mass of finished cement) limit currently in C595 and M 240 means that the cement could contain between 0% and 9% silica fume and still be considered the same product, even though cements with 9% or 0% silica fume might be expected to have significantly different performance characteristics. This proposal includes revised limits for variation in ingredient quantity.
Keywordsblended hydraulic cement; fly ash cement; hydraulic cement; portland blast-furnace slag cement; portland-limestone cement; portland-pozzolan cement; pozzolanic cement; slag; granulated blast furnace slag;

Terrace team helps Nicaraguan school
Mountlake Terrace High School's FIRST Robotics Team 1778, "Chill Out," has collected school supplies to send to Villa Esperanza, a rescue home and school for homeless girls in Managua, Nicaragua.
Team 1778 actively encourages education in local communities, but decided to help other countries as well. During the six weeks that they were building a robot, the team gathered, with the help of Staples, about $500 worth of school supplies to send to Nicaragua.
South Whidbey student donates bench to preserve
Quintin Viers, a senior at South Whidbey High School, designed, constructed and installed a handcrafted bench for the Del Fairfax Forest Preserve as his senior project.
Milled on the island using local wood products, the bench provides a spot to rest and enjoy the preserve's "magic meadow," said officials with the Whidbey Camano Land Trust, which owns the Fairfax Preserve.
The Del Fairfax Preserve is located southwest of Oak Harbor. For directions go to www.wclt.org and click on "Projects."
Food bank campaign gains momentum
Arlington Rotary Club, Arlington Hardware and Master Marine of Mount Vernon have launched a fishing boat package raffle to benefit the Arlington Food Bank's building fund.
The boat, motor and trailer are on display at the hardware store on Olympic Avenue in downtown Arlington.
Tickets, which can be purchased at the hardware store, are $5 or five tickets for $20. Sales have been brisk, said store manager Taylor Jones. When people buy tickets, they often mention their gratitude for the food bank, Jones said.
The drawing for the boat is on June 9 at Arlington's car show.

Camano man helps coffee growers
Jeff Ericson of Camano Island is working to help coffee growers in third world countries.
The average coffee farmer in Central American countries makes about 30 cents per pound of coffee, Ericson said. Most coffee growers don't own their farmland and often live in poverty, he said.
Ericson's company, Camano Island Coffee Roasters, has formed a partnership with Agros International of Seattle, a non-profit organization that helps coffee farmers in Central America and Mexico buy their own farmland. Argos also provides health care services and agricultural training so that they can grow organic, fairly traded and shade-grown coffee, Ericson said.
State parks commission recognizes volunteers
The state Parks and Recreation Commission has announced the recipients of the 2011 Volunteer Recognition Awards for outstanding volunteer service.
State Parks works with volunteers throughout the state to continue enhancing agency efficiency and to stretch funding. Last year, volunteers performed 271,260 hours of work, equal to 130 full-time employees.
Among the winners are the following people from the region:
Sammye Kempbell of Coupeville was named volunteer of the year. Kempbell has cared for the tide pools at Deception Pass State Park's Rosario beach and provided interpretation for guests for the past eight years. Kempbell has volunteered more than 300 hours at the tide pools for nearly every low-tide during summer. She also assisted the interpretive specialist with school group visits in the spring.
Rick Colombo of Stanwood is the rookie volunteer of the year. After 30 years in the Navy, Colombo volunteered as an interpretive intern at Deception State Park last year to gain experience for his next career, working as a parks professional. After graduating from Beach Naturalist Training, he organized a volunteer cadre to lead beach walks throughout the summer. He and his fellow naturalists talked to more than 12,000 visitors during low tides. Colombo also presented Junior Ranger programs every Saturday during the summer, presented programs at the amphitheater to hundreds of visitors each Saturday evening and a variety of other duties.
Christine Longdon of Stanwood was honored with the award for the outstanding contribution by an individual. She began volunteering in 2008 by presenting marine and environmental education programs at Camano Island and Cama Beach state parks, including programs for the second-grade education days in 2009 and at the 2010 October Harvest Festival. She organized the event CamOcean in 2010, to align with World Ocean Day and spent nearly five months preparing for the event, which attracted 3,622 visitors.
Whidbey Island Retired Chief Petty Officer Association of Oak Harbor earned the group of the year award. Association volunteers have worked at Rasar State Park since 2001, contributing a total of 2,100 hours. In 2011 the group officially adopted the park. They have maintained trails, added recreational amenities, revitalized natural resources, removed 4,000 feet of barbed wire and replaced it with a habitat-friendly wire to protect wildlife. In 2011, the firewood sales were higher than normal, and the park was going to run out of wood before the busy Labor Day weekend. The ranger contacted the RCPOA and a week later 197 bundles of firewood were produced, which resulted in adding $1,379 to the park funds.

Video games can be time capsules. They reflect -- with varying intensity -- the eras in which they are made. "Hannah Montana: Music Jam" came at a time when Miley Cyrus was a sweet and innocent girl and music titles were red hot. In "Crazy Taxi," drivers raced to the now-defunct Tower Records while listening to the hit music of The Offspring. Going further back, "Rush'n Attack" played on American's antagonism against the Soviets when the Reds, not terrorists, were the enemy.
In the case of "Grand Theft Auto V," Rockstar North made an open-world game that sums up a decade that's book ended by 9/11 and the 2008 financial crisis. It drops players into a Los Santos that's different from the one players remember from "San Andreas." Foreclosure signs dot the landscape of the rich and famous. The locals carry smartphones and browse social media. Terrorism continues to be a looming issue.
It's a world that resembles the one we live in and signals that Rockstar North is again treading the more serious route it established in "Grand Theft Auto IV." The series won't return to the slapstick humor of the past, and it doesn't need to. "Saints Row" has filled that niche. Instead, the game is filled with grounded satire, smarter humor and biting social commentary that's still wrapped in the core mechanics fans are familiar with.
But "Grand Theft Auto V" introduces new gameplay concepts along the way. The most obvious one is the ensemble cast of Michael De Santa, Franklin Clinton and Trevor Philips. For the first time in the series, players control three protagonists each with a special ability and his own skill sets.
Michael is a retired bank robber who is trying to leave his life of crime and become a family man. He's the stealthy marksman of the group. Franklin is his ambitious protege and expert wheelman. Trevor is the volatile sociopath who can fly anything and also absorb punishment in a gunfight. Over the course of the campaign, the trio becomes a gang of sorts as they do jobs for a series of corrupt officials from the super wealthy to feuding government agencies.
In nearly every aspect, the mission design and story are much better than past efforts. It's no longer just about being a hit man. There are nuances and twists to even the most mundane missions, and all of them support the narrative's message. Having three characters creates more diversity of experiences and makes the world feel more alive as players switch out among Michael, Trevor and Franklin.
If players get tired of one hero, they can jump to another, who is often doing his own thing. For example, players may switch and see Trevor in the middle of a police chase or coming off a hangover. Swapping over to Franklin may show him walking out of a cannabis club or cafe. But it's not until players tackle their first full-blown heist mission that the beauty of this system becomes apparent.
During the campaign, players tackle these elaborate schemes that require them to choose a robbery plan, pick a crew and gather the resources needed. It's almost like a playable "Ocean's Eleven," where the competency of the hires affects the mission's success, and the approach impacts its profitability.
While on the job itself, players shift among the three heroes who take on different roles. For example, Franklin acts as a sniper picking off mercenaries as Michael sneaks on a boat to plant bombs. Players can switch between the two at any time, but they get a sense of teamwork and collaboration that these missions require. And when the plan works and a heist is pulled off flawlessly, nothing is as satisfying.
These improvements are welcome but what separates "Grand Theft Auto V" from its predecessor is how every element supports the game's themes. There's no random fluff. No comedy sets by Katt Williams or useless Internet detail. Everything done in the world furthers the narrative and message. Rockstar North introduces players to protagonists who are awful people, but they become likable when put up against a rotten system that's abused by corrupt leaders (the 1 percent and government officials).
It's why Michael can steal from a Beverly Hills-ish jewelry store, and players won't feel guilty. It also why Trevor is so hard to like at some moments, and other times he feels like the gang's soul.
In a way, all three capture the American spirit of the decade. It's one where consumer excess was followed by poverty (see Michael's storyline). It's a time where the fight against terror lead people to do horrible things to others as demonstrated by Trevor. It's also a time when putting ambition aside and looking out for each other (in Franklin's case) makes us more optimistic about the future.

Aeronautical communications, navigation, and surveillance systems are the backbone of air traffic management. These include surveillance (e.g. radar and multilateration), radio communications, and other key navigational and support equipment. Our technicians and engineers plan, develop, maintain, upgrade and restore these equipment on a continuous basis.
Assuring flawless communication between pilots and traffic control is key to air safety. Skyguide maintains a complete infrastructure. All communication systems are secured by often several fallback systems.
Smart Radio: Real-time remote system-monitoring increases reliability and reduces
maintenance work on site.
Radio navigational equipment provides signpost in the sky, enabling pilots who fly by instrument to stay on course in any weather.The three most important ground-based navigational aids are VOR, DME and ILS:
Satellite-based procedures are growing in importance and skyguide is developing, in collaboration with other partners, new satellite-based navigation procedures. Such procedures have already been successfully implemented, for example at Zurich airport and in the approach to Inselspital in Bern.
Radar is a radio-electric locating procedure, with differences between primary and secondary radar. While primary now plays a minor role in civil air traffic control, except for landing, it is important in compiling the visual representation of the air traffic for military airspace monitoring and fighter control.
Secondary radar equipment supplies additional information from aircraft equipped with transponders (IFR) – flight number, altitude, and speed – which also appears on the screen of the air traffic controller. Skyguide has 2 primary and 6 secondary radar devices, located in Geneva, Zurich, La Dôle and Lägern.

About the Book
Jean Vale Horemarsh is content, for the most part, with the small-town life she's built: a semi-successful career as a ceramics artist, a close collection of women friends (aside from that terrible falling-out with Cheryl years ago), a comfortable marriage with a kind if unextraordinary man. But it is only in watching her mother go through the final devastating stages of cancer that Jean realizes her true calling. No one should have to suffer the indignities of aging and illness like her mother did—and she, Jean Horemarsh, will take it upon herself to give each of her friends one final, perfect moment . . . and then, one by one, kill them.
Of course, female friendships are quite complicated things, and Jean is soon to discover that her plan isn't as simple as she initially believed it to be.
Educator and Librarian Resources
Critical Praise
"Amusing yet horrifying . . . Exceeding the predictable by a long shot, [PRACTICAL JEAN] will beguile readers possessing a sardonic streak as well those who appreciate gallows humor." — Booklist
"Those who enjoy Zoë Heller's mordant take on female friendship (Notes on a Scandal) or the black humor of such classic films as Arsenic and Old Lace and Kind Hearts and Coronets will appreciate this fine social satire." — Library Journal
"PRACTICAL JEAN practically blew my mind. Trevor Cole's twisted novel about Jean Vale Horemash, a friend so devoted she will commit murder, is not only deliciously funny - it is also surprisingly, heartbreakingly poignant." — Marcy Dermansky, author of Bad Marie
"A cagey satirical noir .…Wicked humor glints kitchen-knife bright as the unhinged Jean blithely traverses the suburbs dispensing her most intimate friends." — Publishers Weekly
"A tidy social commentary with some very dark dimensions." — New York Times Book Review

DC Comics announced that they would be relaunching their entire line of comics during the month of September 2011. This would be done through the release of 52 brand new #1 titles. Swamp Thing was chosen to be one of the new titles. The first issue came out September 7, 2011 and is written by Scott Snyder with art by Yanick Paquette.
Swamp Thing first appeared in 1971 in House of Secrets #92. In the early 1900's, scientist Alex Olson is working on a bio-restorative formula when his lab is destroyed by explosives placed by his friend and co-worker, Damian Ridge, who is interested in Olson's wife, Linda. Olsen is caught in the explosion and set aflame. He runs into the water of the swamps where he is transformed into the Swamp Thing by the forces of the swamp and the bio-restorative formula. Believing Alex dead, Linda marries Damian. When Linda begins to suspect that Damian is responsible for Alex's death, he plots to kill her. While he is in the act, Swamp Thing arrives and stops him, but is unable to vocalize to Linda that he is Alex, and sadly returns to the swamp.
Swamp Thing's origin was slightly altered when he got his own title in 1972. In the 1970's, Scientist Alec Holland (working on a secret restorative formula in the Louisiana swamps that can "make forests out of deserts") is killed by a bomb planted by agents of the mysterious Nathan Ellery, who wants the formula. Splashed with burning chemicals in the massive fire, Holland runs from the lab and falls into the waters of a muck-filled swamp. Some time later, a creature resembling a humanoid plant appears. This creature, called Swamp Thing, was originally conceived as Alec Holland mutated into a vegetable-like being, a "muck-encrusted mockery of a man".
The Swamp Thing character was created by Len Wein and Bernie Wrightson in the House of Secrets horror anthology for DC Comics back in the 70's. Therefore, "Swamp Thing" first appeared in House of Secrets #92 (July 1971) but that character is not the same as the one who became an established character in comics. The original Swamp Thing was Alex Olsen, but when Swamp Thing was deemed a hit the character was updated by his creators and became Alec Holland who first appeared in Swamp Thing #1 (November 1972).
Starring in his first ongoing series, which lasted for four years and twenty-four issues, a lot of Swamp Thing's cast of characters were introduced including mainstays like Abigail Arcane, Anton Arcane and Matthew Cable. However, it was until the second series (originally entitled "The Saga of the Swamp Thing") that Swamp Thing found the writer that would shape him in a run that is still one of the most acclaimed in comic history. With Swamp Thing #20, Alan Moore came onto the series and broke Swamp Thing down entirely and began to build him back from the ground up and make him a much more formidable being...transforming him from an almost-mute wandering lost soul to a plant elemental with the power to regenerate and travel the cosmos.
Alan Moore stayed on the book until #64, and was followed by several other writers such as Rick Veitch, Doug Wheeler, Nancy A. Collins (during whose run the title became part of the Vertigo imprint with #129) and Mark Millar but none gained the success of Moore and the title ended at #171 in 1996. It wasn't until 2004 that Alec Holland returned as the star of his own series (the third Swamp Thing volume, written by Brian K. Vaughan, featured his daughter instead) which was kicked off by a six-issue arc from Andy Diggle until Joshua Dysart would become the main writer up until the book's cancellation at #29. It was rumored in 2010 that China Mieville had proposed a fifth Swamp Thing volume but was denied because DC was no longer printing new comics featuring their properties through Vertigo. Alec returned to the DCU in Brightest Day #23.
Holland is eventually hunted down by the villainous Sunderland Corporation, who seek to find the secrets to his research, and kill him in a hail of bullets. During the autopsy it is discovered that Swamp Thing's body was only superficially human; its organs little more than crude, nonfunctional, vegetable-based imitations of their human counterparts, meaning that there was no way Swamp Thing could have been human. This meant the Swamp Thing was not Alec Holland, but only thought that it was: Holland had indeed died in the fire, and the swamp vegetation had absorbed his mind, knowledge, memories, and skills and created a new sentient being that believed itself to be Alec Holland. Alec Holland would never be cured because there was nothing to cure.
It is later revealed that there have been dozens, perhaps even hundreds of Swamp Things throughout the time of man and that all versions of Swamp Thing were created for the purpose of being the "defenders" of the Parliament of Trees, an elemental community also known as " The Green" that represents all plant life on Earth which includes the original Swamp Thing, Alex Olsen.
Six weeks after the events of Brightest Day, Alec Holland has been living as a normal construction worker. He's abandoned his plant growing formula, and his superhero duties. Superman came to visit and inform Alec of the strange animal death occurrences around the world, and ask him if he knows anything about it. He tells Superman no, and informs him that he has awakened with strange, new memories of being the Swamp Thing, he also tells of how he doesn't want to return to being the creature anytime soon. Alec Holland became Swamp Thing and helped Animal Man in the battle with Anton Arcane with his army called the ROT and won the war and Alec Holland and Abrigal Arcane and Alec Holland where killed by Anton Arcane. Swamp Thing had the memories of Alec Holland and protect the trees and master of the Green and plants and help fix the World that needs it help where needed. Swamp Thing is protector of the Green and his friend Buddy Baker-Animal Man is protector of the RED and they remain good friends after the events the happened in Rot World and also in the aftermath of the tragedy's.
The Swamp Thing has a romantic relationship with Abigail Arcane, the niece of his nemesis Anton Arcane. He took possession of his friend John Constantine's body to have a child with Abigail, their child Tefe'.
DC Comics announced in 2010 that Swamp Thing would be returning to the regular DC universe rather than continue under the Vertigo imprint which was solidified when the character appeared in Brightest Day. Alec Holland was revealed to be the Champion of the Life that was meant to stop the Dark Avatar. The husk of The Swamp Thing, (which looks very Alan Mooreish) no longer has a guide and believes itself to Nekron, the Lord of the Unliving.
Martian Manhunter becomes an earth elemental, Firestorm becomes a fire elemental, Aquaman becomes a water elemental, and The Hawks are air elementals to give guidance to the dark avatar. The White Lantern tree is to become the foundation for the new Parlaiment of Trees. Eventually the four elements restored Alec Holland as the true Swamp Thing and in doing so cleansed the Green from Nekron's influence. Leaving Swamp Thing to carry on his new mission to protect the planet.
Following a violent dream, Alec is confronted Calbraith A.H. Rodgers, the Swamp Thing active in 1942. Rodgers explains that he gave up his spot in the Parliament of Trees to convince Alec Holland to again become one with the Swamp Thing. Rodgers explains that Alec's connection to the Green is unique and extraordinarily powerful. Before dying, Rodgers explains that Alec's connection to the Green will be needed to defeat a rising threat, known as Sethe. Sethe, the polar opposite of the Swamp Thing, is the avatar of the Rot. Rodgers also warns Alec to beware of the white-haired woman of his Swamp Thing memories. Shortly thereafter, fleeing the forces of the Rot, Alec is confronted by that very woman, Abigail Arcane, who promptly levels the barrel of a gun in his face. she scares Alec to the point where he subconciously used his plant powers. He then teams up with her to find her brother William Arcane who has escaped from the hospital to bond with Sethe.Alec and Abby eventually stop at a small store and are confronted by William who is surrounded by zombified animals. Alec is able to harness the green to fight them of and uses a tree to capture william. Alec and Abby then share a kiss until william laughs and shouts that they are all doomed. Abby is then consumed by the rot and later pleads with the Green to turn him into the Swamp Thing while the zombies are madly searching for him. The parliament of trees reluctantly gives him the power and he flies of to defeat Sethe and save Abby.
Swamp Thing flies to Sethe's lair and fights the zombie minions but, soon finds out that Abby has become the queen of the Rot and is impaled by her claws. Alec speaks to the human side of her and she resists Sethe's control. Swamp thing is immediately attacked and is powerless against Sethe due to the wounds inflicted by Abby. Abby uses her connection to the Rot to defeat Sethe and save Swamp Thing.
Abby drives Swamp Thing to her old home to rest. But, Swamp thing is nearly beaten to death by Anton Arcane while he's resting. Anton captures Abby but, the Parliament of trees reveales that Anton didnt kill the human body underneath the mantle and manages to resurrect Alec. Alec defeats Arcane and his undead henchmen and watches as Anton goes into a portal to the Rot. Animal Man and Swamp Thing meet and they bouth go and fight off Anton Arcane and his ROT Army in the porttal at the swamp. Swamp Thing and Animal Man are now RED and Green togather as a team to fight off Anton Arcane Army.
In Swamp Thing Issue #0 the story takes place In 1897 Mantobia, Canada. A girl who neeed help from the cold of winter storm and the native as Swamp Thing brought her in to his house and took care of her and feed her a plum for her strengh and all of a sudden the girl skin started to peel off and it was Anton Arcane. Swamp Thing was fighting off the Antone Arcane and was killed by Arcane in a battle. Years and Years later a science name Alec Holland and fellow science friends wher living at a house and where plant biochemest. One night Alec Holland coworker lady friend was in bed and she saw he friends attacking her and she defended herself with a knife and there friends voice change it was not them at all. She was caught and killed and Anton Arcane used her skin to be her at get Alec Holland atttenition and she opened the plant chemistry and took a flame torch on the table droped it and burned the place down and Alec Holland was in the swamp water and screaming on fire and drowned in the swamp water lake and became the Swamp Thing. At the end of the story we see Anton Arcane carrying two dead bodies of the RED and Green that are the African Congo Animal Man the Red and Swamp Thing from Mantobia, Canada.
Swamp Thing has finally met Animal Man, they helped each other to fight off the ROT and it was also said that he was gone for a year and that Animal Man and Swamp Thing were seperated from Antone Arcane powers.
Poison Ivy and Dead Man where finding their way back while Swamp Thing was looking for Buddy Baker, Animal Man and he never found The Red it was in San Diego. Swamp Thing saw the trees and he talked to them and told them that he will help them fight Anton Arcane and his army of ROT.
Swamp Thing, Poison Ivy and Deadman fought off the ROT in one battle and got help from Swamp Thing's little warriors, they lost the battle and went to the green, they had to leave because the ROT knows where they are. Meanwhile in the sky on a plane Abigail Arcane was going on vaction to get away from the ROT but the passengers where all infected by the ROT so Abigail had to fight causing the plane to crash and kill Abigail and the ROT passengers, the trees will tell Swamp Thing the news later on.
In the two storylines in the Swamp Thing series in to the ROT battle. In the Swamp Thing Annual past events before Rotworld was explained, they were about Alec Holland travelling to Europe to meet Anton Arcane who turned out to be a demon that killed people and used their skin to cover up who he really is. Alec Holland did some research and met Abby Arcane, they talked about the plants and the small town that she takes care of for her uncle Anton Arcane.
After their date Alec Holland went back to the castle to do his research on the plants and their radiation, about what was killing them and their minds. Anton Arcane came to see Alec Holland and wanted to kill him because he was part of the Green of the plants and Anton Arcane was part of the ROT. The Green attacked Anton Arcane and riped his skin open and revealed the real him.
Alec Holland put some plant seeds in the river and the water wich saved him, then the green told him to go to the airport and fly back to America, he then met with Dr Woodrue who took him to the airport to the states. Swamp Thing told the trees that Abby was still alive and that he was on his way to find her with the help of Deadman, Poison Ivy didnt go since she though the mission was to dangerous.
Swamp Thing and Deadman left and Swamp Thing made a plant raft, they where headed to Gotham City to find the power weapon to end the war on the ROT and kill Anton Arcane and save Abby Arcane.
The weapon that was needed was made by Batman, and could be found in the Batcave in Gotham City. On their boat ride in the Gotham River a huge octopus came up to the surface. Swamp Thing found out that it was William Arcane [Antone Arcane's Nephew] who ruled the rivers and oceans holding Aquaman's Trident.
Swamp Thing battled William Arcane in in the Gotham City river and killed Starro and some of the fish after the fight with William Arcane with the help of Deadman. Swamp Thing made it to the Batcave and found Batman and he found out that Batman was a monster, part of the ROT. All of a sudden Batman was shot by Barbara Gordon who sent the call for help. Swamp Thing and Barbara Gordon begun working on a plan to destroyed the ROT once and for all.
Abby was trapped in Anton Arcane's castle, there she used her abilities to tear him apart but this only slowed him down since he is the avatar of the ROT and he cannot be killed. Swamp Thing saw Superman as the ROT and was in shock. In the Batcave Swamp Thing saw a video that Batman made before he died and it was only for Alec Holland to see, on the video Batman was talking about a formula to stop the ROT army. Batman face was infected and he left everything to Swamp Thing to take over, the virus was spreding fast on his body. Swamp Thing went with Barbara Gordon to Arkham Asylum and Swamp Thing got his plant formula ready to attack the ROT Army and bring everything back to normal soon and for those who where not afraid to fight in battle with Swamp Thing. The team got ready and and there where Robin's mask and Batman shirt in memory of them that where killed by the ROT. They had guns with the formula and where ready with Swamp Thing to attack the ROT in this last battle. Swamp Thing and Animal Man saw each other in the batte of Anton Arcane and got ready as the Green and the Red, fought off Anton Arcane. Animal Man helped Swamp Thing to get the Batbot in the sky to kill off Anton Arcane Army of the ROT after everyone got together and won the war on the ROT.
Anton Arcane managed to ecape and ran to his castle, telling his allies that the war is not over yet and that Animal man's daughter was in the ROT and that Swamp Thing's girlfriend was in trouble and Swamp Thing wanted to get him, Animal Man told him no not yet. Swamp Thing went to get him and he disappeared in the porthole to continue his nightmare and he will never stop untill it is done once and for all. Animal Man and Swamp Thing saw a spirit of the ROT and they where helping them. Swamp Thing and Animal Man said why are you helping us? The sprit and voices told them that they should not have trust Anton Arcane and where not expecting this to happen and that Anton Arcane went to far on this ROT.
Animal Man and Swamp Thing went through the porthole and teamed up to fight Anton Arcane and save their family from his evil. Swamp Thing and Animal Man where going in to the porthole to go back home to there families and Animal Man made it back home to San Diego and Swamp Thing made it back to Louisiana to see his girlfriend and stop Anton Arcane from taking over the world. Swamp Thing and Animal Man only have one change to stop him and save the World from Anton Arcane nightmare of hell from happening again. The Rot voices said to them they only have one chance to stop Anton Arcane evil from happening. Swamp Thing and Animal Man went back and stopped Anton Arcane and his evil ROT Army and Swamp Thing had to kill his girlfriend Abrigail off as a part of the problem. Swamp thing killed Anton Arcane and a ROT solider took his body and Anton Arcane got a new body and stronger and he stapped Alec Holland and killed him and Abrigail came and stabbed her Uncle Anton Arcane and save Alec Holland and the ROT souls took Anton Arcane and told Swamp Thing that they will take it form here. Swamp Thing and Abvrigail came back to the forest swamp back home and she carried the bodies of Alec Holland and Abrgil and they where happy together and Swamp Thing buried tem and the earth and soil took over and composted there bodies to dust. Swamp Thing kissed Abrigal good bye and the trees said that she is a bit evil and he to let go of her and he kissed her good bye and she vanished to dust and the trees said you will protect us and do everything right and Swamp Thing will do his best to help the Green. Swamp Thing will be fighting Batman's enemy called the Scarecrow with the aid of Superman in the fight to help Swamp Thing. Swamp Thing was seen in the Middle East dessert fighting off a army that was fighting off each other. Swamp Thing stopped it from happing and the two army's attacked him and tried to kill him and to dust. swamp thing killed the two army's off with his plant power from his arms and he left and in the dessert he went back in to the ground and vanished in thin air. Swamp Thing made it to Metropolis and found the plant place there in the garden area of Metropolis park and saw the Scarecrow there and he attacked Swamp Thing with his gas and they did not work at all and Swamp Thing said to him I am a plant it will not affect me at all. Scarecrow use a strong gas and knock out Swamp Thing and for a few mins and he came back up on his feet and captured the Scarecrow and his gas and his plants grew all over the city of Metropolis and Superman is in the air is seeing the green stuff in his city and is saying one word and it is Alec Holland. Swamp Thing fought off the Scarecrow with the help of Superman and they team up to stop this plants that have taken over Superman city of Metropolis. Swamp Thing talked to Superman and Superman said to Dr. Holland do not do this again to my city and if you need my help you know where to find me and contact me. Superman flew away to take care of other stuff and Swamp Thing saw his girlfriend Abgil and she need his help on something important that need to be done. Swamp Thing went with the girl and Swamp Thing saw a village and town and there where people living there and fighting over somthing like it was like witchcraft trails in the 1600's hundreds. Swamp Thing saw a verisin of him and and he was part of the green to save the people of the town from the events that are happing and going to happen. Swamp Thing has to stopp this war and riot from happing and control all of it if he can.
Helping the Justice League Dark and the House of Mystery
In Justice League Dark issue 19 we see Swamp Thing in the House of Mystery helping his British friend John Constantine at his House of Mystery to fight off Dr. Occult a member of the JLD who was a trader to the team and joined the evil side. Swamp Thing saw his friend John Constantine and he was mad he did not know who the team was. Swamp Thing plants have taken over some parts of the city and towns and the JLD heave to fight off the Dr. Occult and his powers. Swamp Thing will be a member of the Justice League Dark to help and defeat the evil Dr. Occult. The Justice League Dark will be also with another member of the team his is the Flash from the Justice League. Swamp Thing and Flash and Justice League Dark will have to fight there way in to the House of Mystery to get it back from Dr. Occult.The Justice League Dark offered Swamp Thing help but somthing bad happened when they where finding there House of Mystery. The Justice League Dark where fighting there dreams and Swamp Thing offered to find the house and it was taken over by the dream monster doctoer and called DR. Destiny who traps people in thre dreams in his own world. Swamp Thing was trapped in the House of Mystery and he told Dr. Destny that the Justice League Dark will come ater him and stopp all this madness from happing.The dreams has just started in the House of Mystery.
Elemental Control: The Swamp Thing has complete mastery over all forms of plant life and can command vegetative matter to do his bidding. Through this power, he is in constant communication with the very essence of the Earth, and serves as the Plant Elemental for the entire planet.
In the past Alec Holland has gained access to other elemental powers. At one point gaining control over earth, water, air, and fire in addition to that of plantlife. However, often almost immediately gaining control over all of them, giving up all but his connection to the Green.
Superhuman Strength: The Swamp Thing's strength level is directly tied to his connection to the Earth. Occupying his most commonly used body, the Swamp Thing is capable of lifting volumes of mass many times greater than his own body weight. With additional power supplied to him by The Green, his ultimate strength level is nearly incalculable.
Immortality: Theoretically so long as there is some vestige of plant life on the planet Earth, Alec Holland will always have a vehicle through which to house his consciousness, thus rendering him effectively immortal.
Resurrection: The Swamp Thing houses his conscious mind inside of a faux body made up of compacted flora and vegetative material. At will, he can abandon this host form and take up residence inside of another shell. Even if the body he is currently occupying is destroyed, Alec's mind lives on and will reconstitute itself in a newly grown swamp-form. The Swamp Thing operated for several years before he even became aware of this ability. Eventually, it was the occultist John Constantine who revealed Alec's Elemental nature to him, and instructed in the ways of reconstituting a new body.
Chlorokinesis: The ability to commune with plantlife and to varying degrees control its growth and form. Summon forth vines to entangle or snare, and so on. A master of this ability can manipulate the microscopic algae inside of a person's body and use it to attack them from the inside out.
Self-Sustenance:The ability to nourish oneself, typically via an external energy source. In Swamp Thing's case, likely through a form of photosynthesis.
Flight: Post-Flashpoint, after Alec decides to become Swamp Thing again, he gains the ability to grow fully functioning wings made of leaves.
Over the years, Swamp-Thing has been utilized in the media many times. Although none of these were landmark successes, they do have a fan following; however, none of these media appearances used the stories setup by Alan Moore. Instead, they opted for the traditional origin.
There were two live-action films based on Swamp-Thing. The first of which was directed by horror legend Wes Craven and followed the original origin fairly exact. The movie did moderately and earned a sequel that failed. Dick Durock portrayed Swamp-Thing in both films.
Swamp Thing (1982)
The Return of the Swamp Thing (1989)
A short-lived live-action series was later created to extend the mythos setup by the films. Dick Durock renewed his role of Swamp-Thing. It lasted form 1990-1993. Swamp Thing fights off Anton Arcane and his evil plans to take back what was his and Swamp Thing and his friend has to stop him and his plans from happing.
There was also a Swamp-Thing cartoon series that only lasted five episodes. It was based on the Kenner toyline and sort of followed the continuity setup by the films. The series followed Swamp-Thing and his allies facing off against Dr. Arcane and his Un-Men. It starred Len Carlson as the voice of Swamp-Thing.
Although Swamp-Thing never directly appeared in any DC Animated Universe cartoon, an alien bearing a striking resemblance to him had a blink-and-you-missed-it appearance in the background of the Justice League episode " Comfort and Joy".
Batman: The Dark Knight 2012
In the Batman Animated Movie. We see former Gotham City Police Commissioner Gordon at a convince store buying a drink or coffee and on the newspaper stands we see a comic book on Swamp Thing and Green Lantern and V For Vendetta at the front of the store stand.
In 2002 when the game Heroclixs came they made a lot of DC Comics heros and villians. In the 2003 pack called Cosmic Justice .Swamp Thing was made in the set. In 2012 the upgrade pack called Superman:Flashpoint Swamp Thing is been remade with his power card and his comic books apperence.

Dan's Relaxing Escape
Location:Cambridge, Massachusetts
Square Feet:744
What I Love About My Home
My home really reflects who I am and as such it provides me a relaxing escape. It is clean, modern, and refined, but at the same time it doesn't take itself too seriously, and isn't pretentious or stuffy. Each room shows you a different side of its personality.
Biggest Challenge in Furnishing My Home
Patience. After moving in, I had to resist the strong urge to try to complete my home all at once. This gave me the opportunity to pull from a much wider range of sources and inspirations, find pieces that fit with the others as each room developed over time, and save a lot of money. It really became about balancing the feeling of being settled with the enjoyment of the process of getting there.
Comments (47)
hello, I really like the atmosphere, I´d like to see more pics.. work area and that beautiful blue aisle I see
those floors are fantastic and the paint colors/furniture really set them off. Like the painted cabinets in the kitchen as well
OoooOOOoOOoOh! Love that orange wall with the cowhide rug!
I, too, am resisting the urge to complete my home in a hurry. Now I have inspiration to look at whenever I feel the urge to do so.
You had a great canvas to work with the the floors and windows but I love what you've done with your canvas. Styled to a T without looking over-styled. And what a great couch. Well done!
Great apartment. Love the minimalist approach, it allows the space to breathe. Well selected furniture pieces, that living room chair is just the coolest.
Thanks everyone for your great comments and support. In response to to a few of the questions:
1. The couch is Room and Board, I can't remember exactly which model
2. The living room chair is a Z-chair designed by Poulsen for Selig that I found on ebay (this one required substantial amounts of that patience, but I really like it, and am glad I waited for it)
I don't know if it's the lens you used to take these pics, but the place looks a lot bigger than 744 ft. Nice place.
Great apartment Dan! I would LOVE to know what the color is that you used in the living room. I am on the hunt for the perfect gray and this looks amazing. Thanks!
A couple more quick answers:
1. Correction - the chair is Jensen not Poulsen (I'm getting my Danish chairs and Danish soccer players mixed up)
2. The bedding is CB2
3. The grey is called Voyage by Valspar
"It really became about balancing the feeling of being settled with the enjoyment of the process of getting there."
Very well put and as a first time flat owner I am currently going through that.
Nice results with your place, really like the lounge feel.
That chair is amazing. I did a little research and found this one at auction.
I loved the couch, but I couldn't find the colour (did you have it reupholstered?) and could you confirm that it is this one:
@Kelvin K you're right, it is the Reese. I didn't have it reupholstered, the color is Salt, under the Tatum fabric option. Up close it is salt & pepper, but from far away it looks grey
Beautiful. Really stunning. I love that you've worked on this over time: it shows. I can see that you've put in the time to find just the right pieces.
May I move in?
Dan, I love the space. You should have put your cat in more pictures. What is the picture of that is above the fireplace in the living room?
@M_Sqrd Its hard to get her to sit still long enough.
The picture is the front of an old boat on a new trailer, I like the contrast of new and old in it. I got it from a great photographer I know:
Cool, calm and chic........you've mastered the art of knowing when to stop! Want to share your secret?

Christianity in the Public Square: Ravi Zacharias and Nabeel Qureshi
10 comments:
Unfortunately, I can't view this video on my smartphone. Somehow there is a plugin issue that doesn't support this. Do you have a YouTube version of this Nabeel?ReplyDelete
Fixed it, follow the link. Thanks for alerting me!ReplyDelete
Good stuff Nabeel! I'm proud of the work you are doing!ReplyDelete
Your speaking is beautiful and insightful as always, Nabeel.ReplyDelete
And, of course, the nitpick (since I never comment without nitpicking): you mentioned a 2005 murder of a Coptic family in New Jersey, likely the Armanious family massacre. It was initially suspected that the murder was religiously motivated because of the family members' involvement with online evangelism as well as the near-constant blood-letting of Copts in Egypt, but as the case developed, it became clear that this was merely a case of robbery, and neither of the men charged with the crimes had any religious motivation.
Thanks for reading the blog, GAP, and thanks for your continued feedback :-)ReplyDelete
The theory that this was just a robbery was a potential explanation that was discarded when more facts came to light. Two of those facts are these: first, most objects of significant value were left behind, including jewelry and cash. Second, the young girl in the family had a tattoo of a cross, and it was specifically targeted for mutilation. Incidentally, while I was speaking in New Jersey this past July, I met a friend of their family. He personally confirmed to me that this was a religiously motivated crime, and that the family had received multiple threats (from Muslims) in the days immediately prior to the murders.
I hope that paints a more detailed picture for you. I know the anecdotal information might not be credible to you, but I suggest you return to the facts of this case and take another look. Thanks again!
Hello brother! I am so surprised that you answer the comments left here!ReplyDelete
I have a very interesting case and I have no one sufficiently qualified to help me. I wouldn't like to disclosure it here, publicly, but can you or someone in your ministry help me?
Thank you very much!
Oh, well, I didn't know about that stuff. I found a source that said that some of the jewelry was left behind, but some of it was taken, along with an ATM card with which thousands of dollars were withdrawn from their bank accounts. I couldn't find any sources (aside from blog posts, which aren't sources) that speak of the mutilated tattoo. On the other hand, besides the family member with whom you spoke, some of the family members also told a New York Post reporter that there were threats in the weeks leading up to the murder. The details just seem far too sketchy to come to the conclusion that the murder was religiously motivated. It could have been, and the fact that one of the alleged killers had his charges dropped in 2009 suggest that this crime hasn't been completely solved, but hate-crime murders based on religious affiliation are just too rare in the United States compared to plain-'ole secular murder-robbery.ReplyDelete
Well done! Nabeel I really appreciate your work..... from PakistanReplyDelete

Several years ago a friend who had majored in industrial engineering, or "IE," at one of the discipline's premier institutions, Georgia Tech, mentioned to me how irritating it had been when other engineers would refer to his major as "imaginary engineering" because of the perceived lack of analytical rigor relative to other engineering fields.
Back then, the two of us had been occasional karaoke tag-teamers who sang a mean cover of "Tonight, Tonight" bySmashing Pumpkins, and during our jam sessions, we'd often openly commiserate on how different engineering disciplines were at ends and had become so siloed in the context of career opportunities. While my fellow chemical engineers and I were optimizing residence times in reactors, mechanical engineers were streamlining rocket systems, and civil and structural engineers were conducting stability studies on skyscrapers. What were "imaginary engineers" like him to do when they were perceived by others as just number-crunchers relegated to the pen and paper work of stop-watch time studies?
In modern industry, the seemingly pejorative moniker of "imaginary engineering" has tended to be quite applicable, actually—but only if "imaginary" is used in the sense of "complex," perhaps as a mathematician would, rather than in the sense of some fairy-tale calculator-wielding protagonist.
But first, let's cue the Wayback Machine and return to post-war America, when the burgeoning discipline of industrial statistics was in its salad days as a formalized profession. Coming off of the production demands during World War II, the United States had become a heavily industrialized nation, complete with an enthusiastic, highly skilled workforce. This potential for further technological advancement was a latent energy source that was waiting to be harnessed for the continued economic growth of the country.
Enter William Edwards Deming, the iconic industrial statistician whose capabilities and unique quantitative vein of diplomacy famously reinvented the Japanese manufacturing industry before he brought those same newfound applications back to the U.S. While such skills were to become very much the DNA of modern day industrial engineering, a specialized competency called "quality" had also begun to be formalized in parallel.
What quality did to industrial engineering was to strategically, but quietly, insert itself into the modernized manufacturing processes. As a profession, quality began to evolve on its own as a standalone discipline. Quality became a profession in which traditional statistical tools were re-applied in novel ways. When the costs of uncontrolled variation reared their Hydra-like heads at the advent of widespread automation, it was this same set of traditional tools that would be later reorganized in the 1990s by Bill Smith of Motorola as "Six Sigma." And where Six Sigma focused on the minimization of defects, the continuous improvement efforts in Japanese manufacturing systems would become "lean manufacturing," a system seeking to minimize waste.
None of these quality methods were ever meant to create the guise of infallibility—the industry was after all, made up of human beings, inherently mistake-prone by nature (alas, yes, even engineers). Quality as a profession soon became the intensely customer-driven counterpart to traditional industrial engineering. The two disciplines to this day are often indistinguishable, with the quality departments of some companies being the primary starting point for industrial engineers. In contemporary times, quality tools are still contributing to the reinvention of the business landscape, with recent applications in the realms of finance, healthcare, and global supply chains. Wherever there were inefficiencies to be eliminated, to paraphrase the new-world musings of old-world cartographers, "Here, there be Quality Engineers."
As a recent American Society for Quality campaign recently posited, the quality profession may be summarized this way: "Making Good Great." Engineers of all disciplines still seek to satisfy customer, consumer, regulatory, and client needs. We serve the public in a manner that seeks to protect costs, public interests, and maintain safety. Amidst all of this, improving efficiency is forever the golden fleece.
As the business landscape globalizes, technological capabilities will continue to advance, increasing the complexity of the system as a whole. The one unchanging constraint we are faced with is that customer and client requirements will continue to be relentlessly demanding. Quality is a strategic component in order to remain both innovative and competitive.
So this is far from where the fable ends.
The aim of establishing processes in which the client's needs are consistently being achieved is just the next chapter on how engineering as a profession, independent of field of practice, in the face of ever increasing complexity, will continue to apply quality principles in very real ways.
Quality principles are not just a set of shiny tools, but a fully integrated platform on which the entire engineering profession itself is constructed. There is a call to arms for the continued establishment of a very tangible reality of serving the public good in the name of efficiency while still meeting consumer needs; we continue to build onward and upward.

See, I do eat vegetables. (Granted, they're almost always wrapped in some kind of pork product, but still.)
Asparagus, even! Some folks would say it's not possible. When I was a kid, I hated asparagus so much that I used to hide it behind the couch. True story.
Oh, how times have changed.
So, this is a fancy and fun way to serve asparagus, the springtime queen of green veggies. It's easy to throw together, and makes a totally impressive table presentation.
This appetizer recipe is my contribution to the Kraft Breakstone's Holiday Celebration Program. Check out a handful of other great Easter recipes from the other program bloggers here.
The short version of the recipe goes like this
Basically, you take three spears of asparagus, wrap them in prosciutto and puff pastry, then bake for about 20 minutes.
The asparagus is fork tender. The prosciutto is crisp and salty. The puff pastry is golden and buttery.
I served it with a tangy sauce made with Breakstone's Sour Cream and Parmesan cheese that's laced with cracked black pepper and fresh, minced sage.
Use regular, medium sized asparagus
The huge stalks might not cook through before the pastry burns. The super skinny stalks will get mushy on you (you know the ones I mean…the little scrawny guys that could double as toothpicks and barely stand up on their own).
Buy domestic prosciutto—not imported
When I'm cooking with prosciutto, I always buy domestic prosciutto—not imported. It's significantly less expensive, and tastes just as good. Save the imported stuff for antipasto platters or other cold apps.
Prosciutto Wrapped Asparagus Bundles with Sage Infused Sour Cream
Asparagus Bundles
12 spears asparagus
1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed
12 slices prosciutto
Olive oil
kosher salt
1 egg, beaten
Sage Infused Sour Cream Sauce
1/2 cup Breakstone's Sour Cream
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 tsp. fresh sage, minced + a few whole sage leaves for garnish
freshly cracked black pepper
If you can, make the sauce a day ahead of time
This will let the flavors mingle. If you can't, don't sweat it. It's still really good if you make it the same day.
Put the Breakstone's Sour Cream in a medium-sized bowl.
Toss in the grated Parmesan.
Mince up your fresh sage. Five or 6 leaves should give you about a teaspoon.
Toss the sage in the bowl. Add a little freshly cracked black pepper, to taste. Skip adding any extra salt until you taste the sauce at the end. It should have plenty from the cheese.
Mix with a whisk or wooden spoon.
Give it a taste and correct the seasoning if you think it needs it.
Transfer to a serving bowl. Right before serving, garnish it with a few whole sage leaves.
Do a little prep
Take your puff pastry out of the freezer about 30 minutes before you want to use it. Unwrap one sheet and let it sit on the counter to thaw.
Rinse your asparagus under cold water. Pat it dry with paper towels.
Trim the asparagus
Asparagus ends can get a little woody. Nip off the bottom half inch with a sharp knife.
Wrap the asparagus bundles
Line a sheet pan with parchment paper and set it aside. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees.
Lay a slice of prosciutto down. Set three spears on top of it, so that they're centered.
Roll the asparagus up in the prosciutto.
Grab your puff pastry. It's most likely folded in thirds. Unfold it so you have one big sheet.
Cut off a long strip that's about an inch or so wide.
Basically, you want to cut the pastry so that it makes a band around the prosciutto, like this:
Wrap the puff pastry strip around the prosciutto.
Trim it so that the ends just meet underneath.
To make the bow, cut a thin strip of puff pastry.
Fold one end over in a loop.
Then cross it with another loop to form a bow.
Dab the pastry with a little cold water, and set the bow down in the center. The water will help it to stick. Press down gently in the center (where the knot on the bow would be) to help secure it. If you're not crazy about bows, definitely make another shape decoration. Hearts would be good. Stars. You get the picture.
Carefully transfer the bundle to your parchment lined pan.
Repeat until you've made all your bundles.
Brush & bake
Beat one egg in a medium sized bowl.
With a brush (or your fingertips), gently dab the puff pastry with beaten egg. This will give the baked pastry a really nice gloss.
Brush the exposed parts of the asparagus with a tiny bit of olive oil.
Pop the pan into your pre-heated oven. Bake at 400 degrees for about 20 minutes, until the pastry is puffed and golden brown.
Serve & enjoy!
When the pastry is puffed and golden, remove the pan from the oven.
The bottoms should be brown, as well.
Transfer to a serving platter.
Serve hot or at room temperature, garnished with the sage-infused sour cream sauce.
If you're going to plate them individually, put a smear of sauce on the plate, and nestle an asparagus bundle on top. (Do this *right* before serving, so the sauce doesn't make the pastry soggy.)

NEW DELHI: The finance ministry is working on a comprehensive social security insurance scheme for lakhs of workers in the unorganised sector, wherein majority share of the premium would be shared by the government.
"The scheme seeks to provide life, health and retirement pension schemes under one cover. Through this we are trying to extend insurance penetration to rural areas and millions of unorganised sector labourers," a senior government official told PTI.

Hi everyone,
I just (tried to) upgrade my GSM (unlocked) Treo 680 with the latest
patch from PalmOne
(here :
I first tried the SD update following these steps :
1/ hotsync with the PC
2/ backup wiyh NVBackup (so two backups)
3/ hard reset
4/ Patch install in French (I am in France) with the SD method
5/ Restart of the Palm.
At this point I have the Palm working great but for ONE BIG THING :
Blazer is not working anymore... It does not even try to run the GPRS
If the phone is off, running Blazer switches it on, but I does not go
further. When clicking a URL, I can see briefly the red cross appearing
on the upper left corner, but nothing more happens. When lauchning
Blazer, I have the message in French :
"Vos paramètres réseau sont en cours de configuration, veuillez patienter"
(OK bouton)
In English it says :
"Please wait while your network preferences are being configured"
I tried Opera Mini, with was working fine previously. I first did
install Opera through a NVBackup restore. It does start the GPRS
connection, but then I have a "time out". If I try to install Opera Mini
the regular way, the install does not complete since it needs an
Internet connection.
I tried other network applications, all work great ! :
- GoogleMaps
- ccLite
- ezFTP
- JWakeMeUp (to try the JAVA network layer, used by Opera).
- MergincPing
- PortScanner
When I probe the port 80 on [url]www.yahoo.com[/url], PortScanner says "open", but
I cannot browse it with Blazer or Opera.
And the telephone is working :-).
I did a hard reset to change the language of the Palm into English
(sometome, English version are better tested than the foreign ones), but
no luck, same problem. Even BEFORE restoring data !! (thus a fresh
"brand new" install). In English and French.
Then I tried to REINSTALL the path with the HotSync method instead, (so
starting from step 3). No differences at all (except that the Palm did
keep rebooting in loop until I issued a hard reset again).
My nexts steps :
- try commercial web browser softwares to see if they work, and possibly
buy one :-(
- Try to find the Palm Treo ROM update for the previous version (v01.04
?) wich was working just great...
Any comment or advice are welcome,

About the Academic Writers Group
The Group, established in 2001, holds meetings for members and also tries to reach, inform and recruit those in the academic writing world at large.
As academics will be aware, but other writers may be horrified to learn, just two of the main issues confronting this substantial sector of the writing community are:
- the standard practice of learned journals to pay nothing while demanding an assignment of copyright from contributors
- miserable terms offered by book publishers, on the grounds that many academics do not write for money.
Poor terms for publishing uncommercial monographs may be justified. But in many cases more established writers, and more potentially commercial titles, deserve better - especially now that secure academic tenure is increasingly a thing of the past, and academic funding based on publication will benefit a specific department or institution more than the writer; and bearing in mind the sort of profits reported by a number of the leading academic publishers.
For further information about the Academic Writers Group, or to join, email us.

South African President Zuma says Mandela remains serious but stableTuesday 11 June 2013 19.54
Former South African president and anti-apartheid leader Nelson Mandela remains in a "serious but stable" condition after being admitted to hospital four days ago with a lung infection.
A government statement this afternoon said President Jacob Zuma had been briefed by doctors about Mr Mandela's condition.
It said he was satisfied that they were "doing their best to make Madiba better".
In South Africa, Mr Mandela is commonly referred to by his clan name, Madiba.

'Simple products could mean one rate for all'
The director general of the Building Societies Association, who is also chairing a sub-committee on deposits as part of a government and industry task force to create a simple products proposition, said pricing was a big issue.
Speaking at the BSA Annual Conference in Manchester last week, Mr Coles said: "Amending systems at providers to give some consistency is difficult."
Mr Coles said the sub-committee was considering how rates on simple products would be set and was investigating whether they should be set at the Bank if England base rate or allow trackers.
He added: "We are looking at only allowing providers to offer one rate level in their simple product range rather than having a back book with different rates."
Mr Coles said the sub-committee had initially considered designing fixed-term or notice deposit accounts, but was instead concentrating on instant access products that would have the same name across all firms.
He said minimum deposits and Isa versions were also under consideration, adding: "Consumers want to be able to set money aside and not need to take further action and access that money when they want."
Peter Griffiths, outgoing chairman of the BSA and chief executive of Principality Building Society, also spoke at the conference. He said there were still questions on how the Coalition Government would support the mutual sector.
He said: "What lay behind the failure to remutualise Northern Rock? Was the Vickers' banking report a failure?"
Mr Griffiths warned that there was a danger of consumers being excluded as a result of regulatory changes such as RDR and the mortgage market review, and called on building societies to plug the gap. However, he said he believed building societies still had a positive future.
David Penny, managing director of Somerset-based Invest Southwest, said: "The idea of a simplified product range is very attractive and aspirational.
"However the UK's previous experience of charges, access and terms-standard products and stakeholder products proves that this is a difficult Utopia to create as such products do not have the backing of the product providers.
"Cheap, simple products will not be very profitable and they will not be promoted, so they probably will not succeed."

Definition of literally in English:
1In a literal manner or sense; exactly: the driver took it literally when asked to go straight over the roundabout tiramisu, literally translated 'pull-me-up'
More example sentences
- Darsana literally means view, in the sense of having a cognitive sight of something.
- One wonders if he knows where the bodies are buried, perhaps quite literally.
- The ground on which the match is being played is, literally, next door to his mansion.
verbatim, word for word, line for line, letter for letter, to the letter;
exactly, precisely, faithfully, closely, strictly, strictly speaking, accurately, rigorously
rare literatim
1.1 informal Used for emphasis while not being literally true: I have received literally thousands of letters
More example sentences
- There are literally thousands of techniques you can use, and it all depends on what rings true for you.
- This has brought us into contact with literally thousands who think as we do.
- On any given day there are literally thousands of people trying to kick the smoking habit.
In its standard use literally means 'in a literal sense, as opposed to a non-literal or exaggerated sense', as for example in I told him I never wanted to see him again, but I didn't expect him to take it literally. In recent years an extended use of literally (and also literal) has become very common, where literally (or literal) is used deliberately in non-literal contexts, for added effect, as in they bought the car and literally ran it into the ground. This use can lead to unintentional humorous effects ( we were literally killing ourselves laughing) and is not acceptable in formal contexts, though it is widespread.

Your visit to CrushCraft Thai Street Eats will be over almost before you know it. Immediately after you step in, you're confronted by a menu board with a limited number of items — three appetizers and eight entrees. Nothing costs more than $9.25. You place your order with a cheerful youngster at a long counter in front of a big open kitchen. You take your seat, usually for all of three or four minutes, until your name is called. You collect your order, served in oval disposable cardboard bowls, plunk it on a tin tray, and carry it back to your seat. You wolf down your food — which happens to be very good — and scuttle off. But I get it: This is what fast food would be if we lived in paradise.
The chef at CrushCraft is Paul Singhapong, who has cooked at the French Room, the Rosewood Mansion on Turtle Creek and the now-closed Bay Leaf. He emerged from retirement to open CrushCraft last January in the Quadrangle in Uptown, where he's doing Thai street food, fast and cheap.
You'll know you're in good hands if you start with the papaya salad. Like the rest of Singhapong's cooking, it's squeakily fresh, the flavors distinct and assertive: The fine-shredded, crisp slivers of green papaya sparkle with the tartness of lime juice, the sweet-sour complexity of tamarind, the umami funk of fish sauce, and the almost-but-not-quite-scorching heat of Thai chile.
The mains are divided into two categories — "for the humble homey" and "for the swanky citizen" — which get credit for archness but don't seem to mean much. There's a fine rendition of drunken noodles, phat kee mao. It's shards of wide rice noodles and chunks of red and green peppers and onions with ground beef in a deeply savory, spicy and slightly sweet soy-garlic-fish sauce. As you dig in, you hit a new layer of flavor from the Thai basil hidden underneath.
Fans of pad Thai should try CrushCraft's version, the OG phat Thai. It's the real deal, lightly sauced fine rice noodles tossed with chicken, tofu, bean sprouts and shredded carrot, topped with crushed peanuts. It's deeply imbued with the "breath of the wok," the slightly smoky, slightly scorchy redolence that comes from stir-frying in seasoned iron over fierce heat.
CrushCraft offers two fine Thai curries. There's the gang panang neua, chunks of soft beef braised in a creamy reddish coconut-milk sauce spiked with chiles, garlic and shrimp paste. And there's the khao soi, a Chiang Mai-style soup of egg noodles in a curry chicken broth topped with crunchy fried noodles, pickled greens and half a hard-boiled egg. It's profoundly satisfying, with a serious heat that builds slowly. And the sua rong hai, or tiger cry beef, is simple but fine, too: grilled slices of flank steak steeped in lemon grass and garlic with a chile-fish-sauce dip.
The scene here is a little odd. The main dining room is a lofty, glass-topped circular atrium that's festooned with strings of colored ribbons. When the room's sparsely populated, as it was on a few recent evenings, it feels somewhat forlorn: a party room where the party's long over. But the big patio's pleasant in nice weather. And I'd happily eat this kind of fast food anywhere.

A Must Read - Share
TOKYO (Reuters) - The dollar held near multi-year highs against the yen on Monday after surprisingly strong U.S. labor data, but demand for riskier assets was curbed by a mixed bag of economic data from China painted a patchy economic recovery in the world's second-largest economy. Commodities prices were caught between growing optimism about more solid demand as the global economy improves and the strengthening dollar which makes dollar-denominated commodities expensive for non-dollar holders. The MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan held steady but were

Re: Diva Chaos
Diva Chaos Top 10:Volume 58
So Long...
Gail Kim -
Gail had the tables turned on her, and fell victim to a trap set by Eve Torres and Lauren. What will Gail do now that her enemies were a step ahead of her.
Lacey has seemingly took her eyes off the ultimate prize momentarily, to help her friends Rain and Jetta focus on the Tag Team Titles. How dangerous can they be with Lacey in their corner?
Others Earning Votes
Mercedes Martinez-
Martinez proved she'll be fine without Melina, defeating the mighty Awesome Kong as her former cilent watched on.
Even in a loss, Hamada took it to the World Champ Mickie James in her debut.
Volume 59 Preview
With Bad Blood on the horizon and the World Title bout between champion Mickie James and challenger Maryse, a huge main event has been signed for Volume 59. Maryse will team with her Canadian Connection partner Natalya to take on the team of World Champion Mickie James and the newly signed Hamada! Which team will earn a victory and who will have the momentum heading into the title match at Bad Blood?
A few weeks ago no one would have never seen Brie and Nikki Bella as serious contenders for the World Tag Team Titles. However, a series of wins over The Canadian Ninjas suddenly put the tag division on notice. Now the Bellas get their first ever opportunity at the tag titles. However what lies in front of them is perhaps the greatest tag team in history The Pink Ladies, who have faced and defeated every team put in front of them to date. Can The Bellas write a storybook ending or will the champs continue to add to the lure of their legacy?
Cheerleader Melissa has been on fire, ending the undefeated streak of Daffney, retaining her title over the likes of the former World Champion Melina, and former IN Champion Christy Hemme. However when Velvet Sky messed with Melissa's fire, slapping Melissa for not following orders, Melissa laid the GM's assistant out with a steel chair result. Now Vevlet Sky and Kelly Kelly have vowed to take the Hardcore TItle away from Melissa. First up is Roxxi, a woman with no love for Velvet Sky, but would never pass up an opportunity for a fight. Also this been Roxxi's biggest opportunity to date and her first title shot in Diva Chaos. Melissa should be for the fight of her life, but Melissa has proved that she is ready to defend the title againt anyone, anywhere!
On Volume 57 Torrie got a victory over Layla, but the rematch should be different with Layla's new found partnership with Torrie's former best friend Michelle Mccool. Torrie will face Michelle at Bad Blood in a submission match, however Torrie can not over look Layla. As Layla will be looking to soften up Torrie for Michelle. Can Torrie make it out and make it to Bad Blood?
Ashley Lane singles career has a remarkable start with victories over Christy Hemme, Mercedes Martinez, and Melina! But possibly her toughest challenge to date comes in the form of "The Glamazon" Beth Phoenix. Beth can not like Ashley's threat to her dominace, will Beth stop Lane in her tracks or will Ashley continue to climb up the ranks.
Also Christy Hemme will be action, as well will the unstoppable Sara Del Rey. All this and more on Volume 59.
Volume 60: Bad Blood
Women's World Title
Champion Mickie James Vs Maryse
Submission Match
Michelle Mccool Vs Torrie Wilson
Melina Perez Vs Mercedes Martinez

Undefeated two-division titleholder Tim Bradley, who defends his WBO welterweight belt against Mexican legend Juan Manuel Marquez on Oct. 12, will be the next guest of RingTV.com's REAL TALK video feature, which gives fans the chance to interview their favorite fighters.
The boxing media will have plenty of opportunities to ask Bradley questions about his Las Vegas showdown with Marquez, but fans can get their questions directly to "Desert Storm" by emailing REAL TALK host Dominic Verdin at email@example.com or through his Twitter account @dominicverdin66.
Ask Bradley about the HBO Pay Per View event with Marquez, his 12-round war with Ruslan Provodnikov, his thoughts on Mike Alvarado-Provodnikov or Manny Pacquiao-Brandon Rios, or whatever you want to discuss with the champ.

so nearly finished toy owl
Seamed up and everything. Was thrilled by such an accomplishment so went to show mother dearest...who goes " You should have stuffed him more" Me: *hits head against brick walk* argh!!!!!
Ahhh, that wasn't very nice. I try to avoid saying such things, not always successfully.
Congratulations on finishing, can you please post a photo? I wanna see!!!!!!
I'm sure it's fine! I sometimes stick something like a yarn needle in to rearrange the stuffing and it helps, too. Can't wait to see it!
Neither of you are seeing anything until its finished - unless you want to help me by giving me a tutorial on how to sew the felt eyes and nose? Never sewn in my life lol. apart from seaming up this guy lol
I've never sewn anything like that onto something knit. I'd help if I could, guess I'll just have to wait.
I could probably teach you to sew if you wanna learn, you just need a yarn the same color as the felt and a yarn needle
How to make eyes for knitted toys
The eyes in this one are knotted yarn...on an OWL! It's not what you're asking about but I thought you might like to see.
Nautie A toy pattern. The quote below is from way down at the bottom.
I usually just do a more embroidered eye rather than felt. It is hard to sew them on neatly. Hopefully Shadowfox can help.
This is sewn along an edge but it's basically what you would do around the eyes for your owl.
I think I have worked out how to do it - however trying put thread into needle is most difficult *sigh*

Jay-Z with RZA production? On the Purple Tape? Kinda, sorta.
Here's 1995 Jay, right before Reasonable Doubt…but right after the Payday 12″, first solo video, and cameo on that Big Daddy Kane record. Pure gold!
Colby Colb talks about that first day of September in '95…
This was before Rocafella, this was best friends Jay and Dame driving down to Philly in twin Lexus GS Coupes with records in the trunk. This was one of Jay-z first interviews outside of New York. You could see the potential in him, he was nervous yet confident. During this interview he talks about life before Reasonable Doubt which didn't come out until 10 months later. Check out the freestyle over some Wu beats.
