Last week's plea for help
Last week I wrote:
I'm desperate. Making a Christmas project with a discontinued yarn and I am 1 skein short. THe yarn is Plymouth Encore English Plum (color # 9621). Can you please search your stash and let me know if you have some? Thanks in advance.
Someone responded that she would check their stash when she got home because she thought she had a skein. The option of finding one at Ravelry didn't pan out. Would that person please let me know if you found a skein? Thanks so much.
Did you try eBay? There are 204 listings for Plymouth Encore. I didn't have time to look through them all, but you might find your color there.
What is it you're making? Any chance you can just use a contrasting color for the rest? I've seen other people just use another color for the end of a scarf or edge of a sweater, top of a hat, etc.
There's been a lot of views so I'm guessing no one has it including me.
It looks like Yarn Boutique has a few in stock. I have never ordered from them, so I don't know anything about them.
Thanks for the lead... I'll check
Making a vest ..... trying to think of how I just might finish it in another color without it looking weird.... thanks for the suggestion
Just looked on ebay.... no luck but thanks for the suggestion
Here's the link:
Ooops! The link I sent is for plum, not English plum...
No problem.... thanks for trying to help

The Red Pony
by John Steinbeck
Analysis: What's Up With the Title?
Ah, The Red Pony. A simple story of a boy and his pet and how they live happily ever after.
Oh wait. That can't be right.
With a title like The Red Pony you might expect to read a typical story of a boy learning to love a horse. When kiddos dream of having ponies, they dream of fun rides off into the sunset. They don't dream of all the hard work having a pony requires. And they certainly don't imagine an untimely death.
But that's what we get in The Red Pony. As soon as we dive headfirst into the story, we realize that this isn't your run-of-the-mill story. This is no nostalgic puff piece. There will be blood. And hey, maybe that's why the pony's red.
The weird thing is, that red pony only appears in the first part. For the rest of the three sections, the pony's nothing but a distant memory. It's barely even mentioned. So what gives?
Well, we think that red pony is still fresh in this kid's mind. His experience with Gabilan colors all of Jody's experiences afterwards. He's a changed kid, and there's only more tough stuff coming down the pike. So after we read the first part, and think about the fact that the whole book is called The Red Pony, we realize that this book is about the sense of loss that comes with growing older, and not the innocent joys of kid-dom.

When I changed the oil for the first time in my 3.0, the engine had
141,000 miles on it. I used Valvoline MaxLife 10w-30 as the motor oil.
I was wondering what the experts recommend for engine oil for this
motor as well as their opinions on oil additives such as slick-50,
and/or engine flushes to help prolong the life of the motor?

The link below is a copy of the statement presented by CLEAR member Linda Jackson to the School Board at its May meeting.
The text follows:
We respectfully submit for the consideration to the Ferndale Public Schools Board of Education the following statement on a request introduced at the May 2, 2012 Community Meeting of Ferndale School District Residents for Community, Leadership, Excellence, Accountability and Responsiveness (CLEAR) and approved unanimously at the CLEAR steering committee on May 20, 2012.
We continue to advocate for transparency in consulting and contracting as a tool for strengthening community confidence in the Ferndale School District.
CLEAR had another very good meeting on Wednesday, May 2, 2012 at the Ferndale Public Library and moved ahead with our process for electing an executive board and a process for endorsing candidates for the November 6, 2012 school board election. We invite all district residents who are interested in running for school board to apply for a CLEAR endorsement. We hope to have a large selection of candidates from which to choose, and we will be conducting public meetings at which CLEAR members and members of the public can ask questions of potential candidates before CLEAR members vote on the endorsements. The exact timing of these public forums will depend on the availability of candidates and of public meeting spaces, but we will be sure to keep everyone informed at our website: https://makeitclearferndale.org/ and our facebook page, http://www.facebook.com/makeitclearferndale.
At the May 2nd CLEAR meeting, our members also received a report from Jim O'Donnell regarding the district contracts, and on May 15th CLEAR member Darcie Brault—who spoke to the board on CLEAR's behalf last month—received a letter from the District's legal counsel regarding the questions she raised when she stood in front of this board. On the basis of the member requests and the information received by CLEAR members, the CLEAR steering committee voted to return to the school board this month with some follow-up questions and requests.
At last month's school board meeting Darcie Brault forwarded CLEAR's recommendation that the board and the administrators voluntarily reopen contracts with administrators to incorporate language that would require disclosures of consulting activity. She also noted that if the school board was not in agreement on reopening the contract, it would nevertheless be an important step toward transparency if administrators made full voluntary disclosures about the amount and nature of their consulting work and the compensation that they received. On May 15th, she received a letter from the district's legal counsel (available on the CLEAR website) which explained that district administrators were not legally required to disclose their consulting activities and added additional information about the contracts but did not provide explanations for why the board could not reopen the contracts to include such disclosure provisions or why administrators could not make voluntary disclosures.
As a result, we would like to ask the board to revisit the requests made last month. We ask that the board and administrators reconsider their approach to the consulting disclosures with the goal of full disclosure, even if it is not required by the current contract.
On the basis of the information we have received we would raise several other questions:
Among the documents released by the district in response to our request is the district's contract with Innovative Consulting in Education (ICE). The contract signed by Chuck Moeser (on behalf of the Ferndale School District) and Gary Meier (on behalf of ICE) on June 20, 2011, authorizes ICE to purchase $140,000 of support services and supplies from the district the first year of the contract, with the option of purchasing $180,000 during each of the following two years. We thank the district for releasing documents on the gross revenue received from the contract, but it would also be helpful for district residents to know the cost incurred by the district in providing these services. After subtracting costs from revenues, what is the net financial benefit of these contracts to the district?
- To the extent that Superintendent Meier signed the June 20, 2011 contract on behalf of ICE, who were the district's representatives in the negotiation of the contract with ICE? Who is responsible for setting the prices of the goods and services that the district sells to ICE and the amount of goods and services that it provides?
- The letter from the district's legal counsel, Ogletree and Deakins. indicates that district administrators can have two distinct kinds of consulting arrangements with ICE: administrators serve as employees of the district working on ICE-related efforts as part of the district's services contract with ICE; administrators can also serve as independent consultants for ICE (and its contractor, Michigan Future) in their own time. In addition, district administrators also fill a third distinct role as employees of the district working on district-related efforts that are unconnected with ICE. Given the complexity of this arrangement and the potential for confusion among these three roles, how does the district distinguish among and track the number of hours that administrators spend in each of their three distinct roles?
- Finally, the contract with ICE specifies that services provided by the district to ICE are those "necessary to the performance of ICE's contract with Michigan Future." Since Michigan Future has announced its intention to "create new high schools at scale in Detroit and its inner ring suburbs"(http://www.michiganfuture.org/initiatives/accelerator-program/), what steps has the district taken to ensure that the creation of these new high schools assisted by the contract with ICE and Michigan Future will not compete with or otherwise be detrimental to Ferndale's own educational offerings? What steps has the Ferndale School District taken to ensure that the community supports the decision by its public school district to enter into a support services contract with an organization promoting new high schools, many of which are charter schools?We look forward to hearing the board's response on these questions.Again, we appreciate the board's decision to put the question of strategic planning on this month's agenda and we look forward to speedy implementation of a broad-based, inclusive strategic planning process based on all possible data and research. We look forward to seeing you again next month.
How do I contact CLEAR? Begin online.

Hohenheim tries to get Alphonse to wake up as Pride detects him and plans to lure him out. Greed takes back control of Ling's body as the group continues fighting Pride. Alphonse finally wakes up and asks his father to help him in a plan. Back at the fight, Pride is easily overwhelming Edward, Greed, and Ranfan, when Hohenheim shows up. Alphonse runs up behind Pride, but is caught. Pride calls Al foolish, which angers Hohenheim, who springs the plan into action. As Alphonse grabs Pride, Hohenheim uses his power to cause huge chunks of the ground to come up and close around Pride and Alphonse. The plan is revealed to have Pride trapped in total darkness in the giant mound until after the Promised Day. Realzing Pride is out of comission, Greed races towards Central, planning to take over the world. Scar, Marcoh, and their chimera companions meet with homeless folks who inform them of the blowing up of Bradley's train. Meanwhile, Kimbley kills several Ishbalans in the Central area. Inside the dark mound, Pride tells Alphonse of Mrs. Bradley's kindness. Scar's group meets up with Ed's group and Fu goes ahead to Central. Daylight comes and Edward puts on hs red coat for the Promised Day. In Central, Roy's rebellion begins.

It really looked like to me that this episode was done by the same animation director who did ep. 19. And hes the best.

My initial thoughts:
- Do we really need a recap?
- Yay, Greed's back in charge of Ling's body!
- I like how the "lights" in Al's eyes go back on when he reattaches his head
- Jeez, Selim/Pride is extra creepy in this episode
- Dun dun dun... our hero, folks! Hohenheim!
- I love Greed's expression when he realizes Pride is out of the picture for now
- This "OOOooooo-ooooooo-ooooooh" track is effing annoying.
- Oh, that Greed! He's such a scoundrel!
- Speaking of scoundrels, here's Kimbley! He sure loves his work.
- D'awww, Mrs. Bradley wuvs her son!
- Ah, a new scene, with Roy at Hughes' grave! I'm sure this won't figure in at all later on! Way to try to fix Arakawa's blunder, Bones. But it's too little, too late.
- Hey, let's spend time with characters that are of no significance!
- Ed knows how to make putting on a coat seem pretty cool.
- Oh, hey there, Denny.
Okay episode, I guess.
Fullmetal Alchemist is over! Thank you, Hiromu Arakawa! ;_;

- We start off with Pride still mocking Edo.
- And it turns into cool animated all-out fight.
- Pride's eyes are scary.
- Loved the scene with Al attacking Pride.
- Wow, Hoho, you're so cool.
- Also loved the "I'm going to rule the world!" scene.
- And it's something like 3rd or 4th Prido eyecatch.
- And Kimblee's too. Hey, what he's doing here? Isn't it too early for him?
- Oh well, it looks like it isn't. At least it's the beginning of the end for him.
- The scene when Mrs. Bradley rescued Selim was touching.
- Why I don't recall the graveyard scene?
- The ending scene with "The promised day... has begun" was really cool. At this point I will really miss Shunkan Sentimental.
- And the rebellion has begun!
- Wow, a cliffhanger. Haven't seen you for a while, buddy.

Couldn't see this one through Keyhole. I'll have to wait for a fansub or at least some light raw to edit this message with my thoughts. ^^
Edit: Ah, the graveyard scene... It felt doubled, but on the other hand, something like that was needed (and would have been good in the manga, too). Maybe it should have been some reminiscing about Hughes... I don't know, something that Hawkeye was able to realize.
Good thing is... it adds up naturally on the following escalation in Royai, doesn't it?

New music FTW!
It totally goes with Pride's utter creepiness. And Kimblee hums his own creepy tune amidst the blood he's spilled... *shiver*
The effect they used when Al woke was actually pretty spiffy. So was Hohenheim's transmutation! Al and Hoho make an excellent team. And is that more new music I hear? I must have died and went to FMA heaven...
To make up for his lack of epic transmutation, Ed now must pose with the sunrise. Sticking the ending theme's guitar in there was great.
You know, I bet the sites of Ed, Al and Hohenheim's epic transmutations will be big tourist sites in Amestris' future. Just a spare thought...
An extra Royai scene will always earn Bones some extra points!
The epic conclusion continues...

Okay, just watched the RAW
-recap..not necassary. But that's alright.
-Pride's animation is a bit different in this one. I don't like the dark circles around his eyes. But it does fit him.
-I really like how they had Alphonse waking up. That was a great effect.
-Dang, Lan Fan's arm is acting up really bad now. She was about to rape with those knives
-Go Greed! He did like 4 back hand springs. Pretty awesome animation.
-Alphonse's running screaming attack reminds me of Sokka from Last Airbender.
Sokka: "SNEAK ATTAAAACK"
Aang: "Sokka, it's not much of a sneak attack if you run up screaming." (or something to that effect)
- Royai. Bones ships. I ship. We all ship.
-Ed makes putting on a jacket look awesome. I had to rewind and watch it again.
- scenes after the credits. wooo!! Denny!
-Mustang, blowing up random cars is his thing.

- This episode has some really nice animation. Pride's shadow-tentacles must be a pain in the butt to animate but they look good.
- Those slanty eyes make Pride look so evil. I love it. And I guess eating Gluttony made his eyes purple?
- Al regaining consciousness was pretty nifty.
- Was Kimbley humming, or was that just me? xD "Oh Stone, isn't it a lovely evening? TRA LALALALA."
- The added graveyard scene was interesting. Glad to see that Roy has been cured of his lumpy-head syndrome.
Wow, we're really getting towards the end here. Things are about to get crazy.

I agree with you on every level!
Alphonse's run reminded me of Sokka as well, and I also had to rewind and watch him put on that jacket again. XD

What was the first Christian album that you bought or were given?
Mylon Lefevre Trains up in the Sky
What was the most influential person in your life during your High School years?
My Parents: My biggest fans. They always encouraged me in whatever I was doing and believed in me when no one else did.
How hard is it to manage your life on the road vs. your life at home?
Yes. Keeping Family, Church, and Crowns in that order can often be a struggle. There are times it gets a little upside down. We pray for God's wisdom and direction and try to be more proactive than reactive when it comes to our schedules.
What is the funniest thing that has happened you while on the road with Casting Crowns?
I fell jumping onto the bass riser in a concert and ripped my jeans. Yep – in the front and in the crotch area… So i finished the song out – hunched over like a rap star covering myself. Most people didn't even realize it. Of course the band did. I'll never live that one down.
Who is your favorite super hero?
Man… That's a tough one. Superman, Spiderman, Wolverine, Batman, Ironman, and Captain America. All for different reasons.
Who is your current favorite musical artist/group? Why?
Switchfoot, Jars of Clay, Third Day, Toby Mac, Lacrae… I'm bad at favorites.
What is a largely unknown skill that one of the other Crowns member that should be shared with everyone?
Melodee can do a trick! I call it the Dead Doll Eyes. You gotta see it!
What is the best advice someone has given you about working with youth groups?
Guard your time with God. Ministry only happens when we walk with Jesus. Otherwise it's just human effort and it will dry you out.
Who do you enjoy following on Twitter?
If you weren't in Casting Crowns, what would you be doing now?
I would be an astronaut!

Online Ticket Sales
Our most convenient option. Click the button below and use your credit card to reserve your choice of seats for any of our shows. There is a modest convenience fee for online purchases.
Note: For the 2014-15 season we raised our ticket prices and also offered online sales for the first time. In order to ease the transition for our patrons we subsidized the online convenience fee by 50% for that year only. So for the coming season you will notice that the convenience fees are higher than last year. These fees are paid to the Vendini service we are using, not to Shuswap Theatre. And you can still avoid the fees by purchasing from our ticket agent, Intwined Fibre Arts (see below).
It's also worth noting that our ticket prices are still considerably lower than those of similar community theatre groups – a bargain for our patrons. And we offer "Pay What You Can" Thursdays so that everyone can afford to see our plays.
If you currently receive email news and updates from Shuswap Theatre (and want to continue) read this important notice before ordering online.
Note: If Buy Tickets Now button does not show on your browser click here.
Give the Gift of Live Theatre
For those on your gift list who don't need more stuff, why not give them an experience instead? Give the gift of live theatre with a Shuswap Theatre Gift Card. You pick the amount and it can be used as partial or full payment for any Shuswap Theatre event which offers online ticket sales (most of them). The gift cards have no expiry date and may be redeemed either online, at our ticket agent or at the door. Any unused portion is automatically carried forward for another event.
Gift cards are available through Intwined Fibre Arts.
Season Subscriptions
Season Subscriptions are available until the closing night of our first production each year. They can be purchased on line or at Intwined Fibre Arts. You choose your performance dates and seats at the time of purchase. If your circumstances require a change of dates for one of the shows, you can exchange those seats for another performance of the same play at Intwined Fibre Arts.
2015-16 Prices
Adults – $57

About Our Ticketing System
Vendini is an online ticket sales system that provides our patrons with the option to buy tickets online. You can also buy tickets at Intwined Fibre Arts and in the theatre lobby before each show. Patrons can even buy tickets through our Facebook page.

Our online venue maps show you exactly what seats are available when you order. Once you pick them they are guaranteed to be yours! There is a convenience fee charged by Vendini for tickets purchased on line.
Show Times
Mainstage shows run for three weekends – no performances on Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday nights. Thursday nights are 'Pay What You Can,' cash only at the door. Sunday shows are at 1:30 pm, all others are at 7:30 pm.
*ShuGo Tickets for Youth
ShuGo is a ticket-subsidy program to encourage youth aged 12 to 21 to attend live arts and cultural events in the Shuswap, and to help live-arts groups build their young audience. The Arts Council sells ShuGo tickets for $5 to youth aged 12 to 21. The youth themselves must purchase their own tickets at the Salmon Arm Arts Centre. Up to four tickets can be purchased at a time by one individual. A maximum of six tickets per year can be sold to one youth.
The ticket-holder must then cross the street to Intwined Fibre Arts to exchange their ShuGo ticket for a reserved seat. ShuGo tickets presented at the door will be admitted only if there are unsold tickets remaining for that performance.

UPDATE: "The Flash" Hasn't Cast Savitar, Says Berlanti
TV, Comic Books
After nearly 1,400 ballots were cast, YOU the reader ranked your favorite comic book characters of all-time from 1-10. I assigned point totals to each ranking and then tabulated it all into a Top 50 list. We're now revealing that list throughout September. Here is the master list of all the characters revealed so far. The countdown continues…
9. Flash (Barry Allen) – 1604 points (27 first place votes)
Barry Allen was a police scientist when a bolt of lightning hit a bunch of chemicals which splashed upon Barry, making him gain the power of super-speed!
Inspired by his boyhood hero, the Flash (Jay Garrick, who was actually living on a separate Earth!), who Barry read about in comics, Barry became the NEW Flash, with a snazzier outfit than Jay's. Barry was created by Gardner Fox, Bob Kanigher and Carmine Infantino.
For years, the Flash was a steady force for good, as a solo hero and as a founding member of the Justice League of America.
Sadly, tragedy struck the Flash after he married his longtime love, Iris West, when his rival, Professor Zoom, murdered Iris. Some time later, when Barry was prepared to move on an re-marry, Zoom showed up again to kill Barry's NEW wife! Barry stopped him, but in the process, killed Zoom.
This haunted Barry for quite awhile.
Good news came to him, though, when he discovered that his wife, Iris, was not actually dead, but living in the future! Barry joined her there, and the two WOULD have lived happily ever after, if not for the events of the Crisis on Infinite Earths, where Barry had to come out of retirement to stop the evil Anti-Monitor.
Barry was successful in his attempt to stop the Anti-Monitor from destroying Earth, but in the process, Barry died. His legacy lived on, though, with his nephew and former sidekick, Wally West, who went from being Kid Flash to becoming the new Flash.
Recently, though, Barry returned to life and once again began his career as the Flash. The villainous Professor Zoom returned, too, though and he tortured Barry by killing Barry's mother in the past and framing Barry's father for the crime. When Barry attempted to stop Zoom, Barry messed with time TOO much, resulting in an altered DC Universe. Barry fixed his mistake, but the end result was a new DC Universe, one where Barry is still the Flash, but he is no longer married to Iris.
8. Tim Drake (Robin/Red Robin) – 1708 points (30 first place votes)
Created by Marv Wolfman, with a costume designed by the great Neal Adams, Tim Drake burst on to the DC Universe scene with a storm in the early 90s as the third Robin! After the death of Jason Todd, the second Robin, Batman was getting a bit too serious, and young Tim Drake realized this. Drake had also used detective skills to figure out that Batman was Bruce Wayne, so Drake approached Dick Grayson to go back to Batman to be Robin again. Grayson turned it down, but recommended instead that DRAKE become the next Robin.
And after a long time training, finally Batman agreed to let Drake be the new Robin.
Since then, Tim has served with distinction, while also leading the superhero groups Young Justice and Teen Titans.
After Tim's father was murdered (his mother was murdered early in his Robin training), Bruce adopted Tim. After Bruce was seemingly killed, Tim tried to take over as Batman for a time, before giving way to Nightwing. When Nightwing decided to take on Bruce's son Damian as his new Robin, Tim took on the new identity of Red Robin.
As Red Robin he continued to serve the legacy of Batman extremely well – he is one of the most thoughtful, heartfelt superheroes there is, a young man who would prefer to think a problem out than to punch his way to a solution.
After the DC Universe reboot, Tim is still Red Robin and still a member of the Teen Titans, but his personality has undergone some changes.
I really, really hope John Stewart makes the list.
wow. Barry Allen leapt up 20 spots to take a spot in the top 10! Hadn't expected that.
Still, the biggest leaps have all been newer characters. Batgirl (S. Brown), Batwoman, X-23 all moved up over 100 spots. I'm not certain how much Robin (Damian Wayne) moved up. I don't know if he was even on the list last time.
Odd that even with the far greater number of votes, over half of the characters moved 10 or fewer spots on the listing. I think this shows the list is pretty accurate of this fan's sites.
One nice thing with the newer list is that with so many more votes, there haven't been any ties.
Yeah Tim!
And this all but confirms it. Wally West STILL more popular than Block O' Wood.
Yeah, Tim is great. His introduction was so nicely done. They focused on his character instead of just straight into his costume and into the action.
And then there was his first 3 minis and the first couple of years of his ongoing. All amazing!
And like Kyle (Green Lantern) it was great seeing his story start and evolve as I began reading comics!
Regarding Barry? I'm just not feeling it. I grew up with Wally being Flash – and amazing writers, like Waid, made me love the character. I know that Barry is the original – but to me, hes a substitute. And so far, the last few years of stories thats hes starred in, have just been good at best, not great… and definately not amazing.
The only stories of Barry's that I have enjoyed were told when he was dead – like JLA: Year One and Flash & GL: Brave and the Bold …. and surprising both were written by Waid as well! haha…
figured if not wally Barry would as the flash be close to the top . and red robin been waiting to see how he ranked and figured he come close but not crack the top five.
glad Tim made it, sad Barry made it.
Before I checked, I said to myself:
9. Tim Drake
8. Barry Allen
So close!
Just want to say that I've been loving this so far and really hope that you'll be revealing at least 51-100 after this is all done. I find that the characters who just barely don't make the list can be just as if not more interesting then those who do.
I was a big fan of Barry Allen growing up (not as big a fan as Geoff Johns, apparently, but still, a fan), but I made a point of only including one Flash on this list, and I prefer Wally West. (Besides, the way he was brought back and Wally was shoved aside kinda rubbed me raw.)
Tim Drake is my all-time favourite Robin (and I've been reading Batman since before Jason Todd was introduced). Frankly, I'm not sure if it's because he doesn't have a tragic origin, or despite it. He still didn't crack my Top 10, but I did have him at #19 on my list.
I second Herpman's proposal. (I'd love to know how close Ambush Bug and Damage Control came to making the lists.)
I think only three of my choices are going to end up on the list, which… actually is more than I expected. I would also be curious to see if any of the other seven managed to crack the top 100 as well. Actually, I would be really interested in seeing which characters from each company only got one point (or one vote).
[…] Should Be Good continues counting down the results of their Top 50 DC Characters survey, and Barry Allen comes in at #9. The reborn Flash received 1604 total points, and 27 voters named him their favorite DC […]
If Brian wanted to just make posting the info he got from this poll into his full time job, I'd be fine with that. I'd love to see what the next 50 slots were. As previously mentioned, that's often more interesting that the top 20 or so, which are usually pretty predictible. I also second the motion of seeing what characters only got one vote. Maybe we need to start a fund so Brian can devote the time to do it?
Great to see a Flash in the top 10 – and I'm hoping we'll see two by the time the countdown's finished!
I've been meaning to ask: How do you handle votes for a character with mutliple incarnations that don't specify which one?
For example, if someone voted for "Flash" and didn't specify Barry Allen, Wally West, etc., did you count it separately (ie. "Flash, unspecified"), contact the voter for clarification, assign it to the current headliner (in this case Barry), set it aside until the rest of the votes were counted and assign it to the version of the character who was already in the lead, or something else?
I'd be curious about the also-rans too, mainly because almost everyone I voted for is an also-ran. (I'm not surprised by that, because I do love offbeat and neglected characters.)
Always preferred Barry to Wally by a long shot. I was surprised how many people stood up for Wally when they made the switch back. 90's kid nostalgia I guess? I don't really buy the "Barry is boring" angle at all.
I dunno, I was a faithful Flash reader in the late '70s and early '80s, and Wally was easily my least favorite New Teen Titan. But unlike Hal, I found that I never really missed Barry. Wally, on the other hand, really grew as a character and had some tremendously strong stories in his year as the Flash, which really made me buy the idea that he'd somehow surpassed his mentor. I wouldn't classify myself as either a Wally or Barry fan per se, but I've found the way Barry was brought back as the Ultimate One True Flash and Wally abruptly sidelined really pointless from the start and badly executed. I find I have the same problem with Barry now as I do with Hal, and a lot of it just comes down to not thinking much of Johns's writing: I loved them the first time around, but now that they're back they kinda bug me. But I'll see if the new versions are somehow any better despite Johns being the one doing the worldbuilding. I'm not optimistic, but I'm certainly open to the possibility that they'll maybe work better without all the baggage he piled on them the last tme around.
I'm beginning to think no one else voted for Timber Wolf…
I'm getting really worried about J'onn. Most of mine I knew wouldn't show up _ Phantom Stranger, Golden Age Dr Mid-nite and the like. I held out some hope for Jack Knight. But, surely, J'onn's GOT to be there. Right? Please….???
OK, ignore most of my previous post. Apparently sleeping between reading the entries affects my ability to remember them…..
I can't imagine that Wally didn't make the top 50 so this can only mean that Wally beat Barry!
Yes! So pleasantly surprised. As I said when Damien was listed and we all assumed that the Robins were merged together, Tim was my #5. To me he will always be the best Robin because he's Batman's successor. He was the only one who figured out Batman's identity and sought training. He's the only one that R'as has ever addressed as Detective.
Even if Wally beat Barry, the fact that Barry still came so close even after 25 years of not being a regular character and only being back a little over 2 years still strikes me as more of a victory for Barry than for Wally.
Red Robin represent!
Can anyone name any substatial storyline/event that Barry had done, aside from destroying the Anti-monitor machine that killed him (he shoulda stayed dead). Perhaps Wally benifits from becoming The Flash in an age where the writing was more sophisticated, and the art (for DC) 'flashier', but for myself… Barry = Congorilla. Wally = Vandal Savage (from the first story arc), JLA (where after 10 years he finally stood shoulder to shoulder with the legends, fulfilling his desire to keep Barry's Legacy alive), and more… It just sucks! F. Barry and bless the comics that make me feel this way over a pair of corporate owned non-moving cartoons. F. Hal too.
It seems like writers can change the origin, character, and history of a character as long as he keeps the names (both superhero and secret) and costume.
Oh, Wally West Fans. Continuing to be so bitter.
Who is "boring" and who is not is a matter of opinion.
I hate Wally. I think he is boring. I greatly prefer Barry. My brother enjoys both and doesn't really care which Flash is in the main title.
and you can't cry about nostaliga when you keep harping on message boards about how your favorite Flash is the BEST one.
After the DC Universe reboot, Tim is still Red Robin and still a member of the Teen Titans, but his personality has undergone some changes.
Just curious, how do you know this? Did you get a sneak peek at the new Teen Titans book?
WackyWally – Barry did lots of stuff that was deemed heroic and fantastic. From becoming an inspirational hero, founding the JLA, defeating Zoom in some pretty epic battles through time back in the 80s, etc.
In fact, pretty much everything DC ever did with Wally came FROM Barry. The powers, the costume, the cast, the rogues gallery, joining the JLA, marrying a reporter, fighting a Zoom, racing Superman, teaming up with Green Lantern, etc.
Wally is 95% the same character model as Barry. Just from a different era, with different writing.
So try to keep in mind…they're fictional characters. Ideas. And good ones too. But railing against one fictional character because you can't stand the other character "losing"?
At that point the imaginary voices are winning.
Well I have no really affinity for Flash, but I see it as a shame and a defeat of character development (which in long-form narratives such as comics should be paramount) to undue Barry's greatest act of heroism and shuffle a living character off to the sidelines.

We cannot imagine how you guys are feeling right now. We're sure that in one way you're happy that Gavin will get this surgery but in another way you are anxious and scared. We pray that Gavin's surgery is successful and without complications. We pray for his body to heal quickly and for his comfort. We pray that any anxiety you are feeling will be overcome by your trust in the Lord. We pray for the surgeons that will be working on Gavin tomorrow.
Love & Blessings,

Prayers do work miracles as you have seen today - guiding Dr. Dunn and Dr. Katz and the many nurses and technicians, giving you and Adam strength, helping Madison, and giving Gavin the strength to keep fighting. God hears our prayers and answers them. We know Gavin is getting the best possible care at duPont there are many people there that truly care about you and your family. I know our Angel Ally is watching from above. Love and prayers to you all, Mary Kay and Donnie
- February 24, 2009 at 6:42 PM
Gavin is in my prayers. I hope the surgery allows you to blink and this is going away. No child should have to endure anything so painful.

The Rungrado 1st of May Stadium is a multi-purpose stadium in Pyongyang, North Korea, completed on May 1, 1989. It is currently the largest stadium in the world, with a capacity of 150,000, and occupies 20.7 hectares (51 acres).
It is currently used for football matches, a few athletics events, but most often for Arirang Festival performances (also known as the Mass Games). The stadium can seat 150,000,[2] which is the largest stadium by capacity in the world and the world's 12th largest sporting venue.
Its name comes from Rungrado Islet in the Taedong River, upon which it is situated, and May Day, the international labour day. Its scalloped roof features 16 arches arranged in a ring, and it is said to resemble a magnolia blossom. It is not to be confused with the nearby 50,000 capacity Kim Il-sung Stadium.
It hosts events on a main pitch sprawling across over 22,500 m² (242,200 ft²). Its total floor space is over 207,000 m² (2.2 million ft²) across eight stories, and the lobes of its roof peak at more than 60 m (197 ft) from the ground.
While the stadium is used for sporting events, it is most famous as the site of massive performances and shows celebrating Kim Il-sung and the North Korean nation. In June–July 2002 it was the site of a large choreographed "Arirang Festival" gymnastic and artistic performance. The extravaganza involved for the first time some 100,000+ participants—double the number of spectators,[3] and was open to foreigners. These performances are now an annual feature in Pyongyang, usually in August and September. The Guinness Book of Records has recognized these events as the largest in the world.
In the late 1990s, a number of North Korean army generals implicated in an assassination attempt on Kim Jong-il were executed via burning in the stadium.[4]
In 2000 Kim Jong-il entertained Madeleine Albright, the U.S. Secretary of State under President Bill Clinton.[5] Collision in Korea was the largest professional wrestling pay-per-view event ever that was jointly produced by World Championship Wrestling and New Japan Pro Wrestling. It took place over a period of two days on April 28 and 29, 1995 at the stadium and had an alleged attendance of 150,000 and 190,000. It did not air in North America until August 4, 1995. The attendance figure may have been greatly exaggerated, and American wrestling journalist Dave Meltzer has stated, more realistically, that the actual combined attendance for the two-day-event was somewhere around 160,000 total.[6]
After a 2-year renovation project, the stadium reopened its doors in 2015.

Campanula americana
Campanula americana, the American bellflower,[1] is a tall bellflower native to eastern North America from the Great Lakes region south to Florida and from the Dakotas east to New York. This native plant is an annual or biennial from 2-6' tall.[2] Its flowers are light blue to violet and are usually arranged in elongated clusters. It is an unusual bellflower in that its flowers are usually flat and not bell-shaped. It has a varying life-history with seeds germinating in the fall producing annual plants and spring-germinating seeds producing biennial plants. It is generally insect-pollinated, and does not usually self-pollinate.[3]
Some authorities, including the USDA Plants database [4] consider the name Campanulastrum americanum to be the valid and correct name for this species.

Women's conference to feature fun, fellowship
SIKESTON -- Local Christian women are on a mission.
The Fellowship Baptist Church Women on Missions group will be hosting their Women's Conference from 9:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. Oct. 13 in an effort to have fun while reaching out to other women in the area.
"I think (the conference) is important for outreach," said Cathy Bateman of Fellowship Baptist. "It is a chance for Christian women to get together for a day out with their Christian sisters, and we use it as an outreach to other women who may not be in the church."

Todd Snyder
2012 Nominee for:
In Dutch, Snyder means "one who makes outer garments" so it was natural for Iowa-born Todd Snyder to leave his hometown of Ames in 1989 to work as a tailor's assistant in Des Moines. By later wearing his own designs as an intern at Ralph Lauren, Snyder got promoted to sketching shirts and ties for the label. From there he went on to design men's sportswear at J.Crew and the Gap, outerwear for Polo Ralph Lauren, and returned to the Gap in 2000 as Director of Menswear. Four years later Snyder became SVP of menswear at J. Crew where he revamped men's styling across the board, introduced formalwear, and launched a series of heritage brand collaborations that culminated in the popular Liquor Store boutique, opened in 2008. Snyder left J.Crew shortly thereafter launching his own collection of casual American classics in 2011. Inspired by extensive research on military tailoring, Jermyn Street, and classic Hollywood style, the collection features everything from selvedge chinos to stonewashed Loro Piana sweaters and three-piece British wool suits. Now in his third season, Snyder has expanded his portfolio to include elegantly unstructured one-button tuxedos and countless innovative iterations of vintage cargos, trenches and military knits. Melding New York urbanity and Iowa rusticity in every garment, Snyder always tries to live up to the maxim of his idol, Hardy Amies, who once said, "A man should look as if he had bought his clothes with intelligence, put them on with care, and then forgotten all about them."
A Moment with Todd:
When you found out you were nominated you…I kept wanting to hug someone but thought it was too awkward so I took everyone for champagne at Pastis instead.
My first job in fashion was…Working as a tailor assistant in a men's suiting store in Iowa called Badowers. I did everything from sweeping the floor to sewing hems and tailoring jackets.
Being nominated for a CFDA Fashion Award is…A dream come true. And cathartic after almost 20 years in the business.
One of the few times I have been star struck was when I met…Brad Pitt while working at Ralph Lauren. I was sitting at the table in a workroom eating lunch. Ralph walked in with Brad and he introduced himself… I really almost choked. I couldn't say hi back.
One of my biggest sources of inspiration is…Vintage clothing. I have a huge collection of leather jackets and military outerwear. I love going to the vintage markets in London… Portobello is my favorite. You can find everything from vintage jeans to a great painting.
First thing I do when I get to the office is…Turn on the music. I can't work with out it.
One of the best things about my job is…It's different everyday and it's never predictable.

NEWARK -- Filling a position left vacant for three years, City Manager John Becker has chosen from within for a new assistant city manager.
Becker promoted Terrence Grindall, Newark's community development director since 2006, to the position, effective Jan. 1. Grindall retains his previous position and now holds both jobs, said Becker, who announced the promotion at a City Council meeting last week.
"Terrence has done an outstanding job in any area he's been assigned to," he said.
Grindall received a 5 percent raise, boosting his annual compensation to $189,000, Becker said. His previous salary was $179,550. City employees pay for their own health benefits, Becker said.
Newark has gone without a full-time assistant city manager since late December 2010, as the position stayed open because of budget cuts.
Council members did not vote on Grindall's promotion because Newark's city manager is responsible for all City Hall hiring, except the city manager and city attorney positions, Becker said.
Becker, who turned 57 last month, said he does not plan to retire soon.
"But it is a good idea for a chief executive officer to have a succession plan," he said. "Terrence has shown he's ready to take the next step."
