UPDATE: "The Flash" Hasn't Cast Savitar, Says Berlanti
TV, Comic Books
Valentine's Day, with its reflection on love, is inescapable. That could be romantic love filled with cherubs and soft-focus lighting, or it could be friendly love, like those little paper Valentines you get in grade school or around the office. It could be family love, like roses for your grandmother to let her know you care. Heck, it could just be the love of chocolate and the knowledge that all those heart-shaped boxes will be on sale tomorrow.
Who we love is based on what we love about them: It could be their rockin' abs, their sense of humor, their empathy or their discount sale price at the drug store. Maybe it's elusive. Often times, what others love about us are qualities we can't see in ourselves. Those are the aspects we have to recognize to better understand our loved ones and, most of all, who we are — because, as RuPaul says, "If you can't love yourself, how in the hell you gonna love somebody else?"
No one in the Marvel Universe needed to hear a drag queen's words of wisdom more than X-Men Legacy's Legion.
WARNING: Talking about Simon Spurrier's X-Men Legacy series as a whole in vague terms and X-Men Legacy #24's huge spoiler, so go grab all the issues you can and read along!
There's so much to see in Legion as a character. He could be defined by his mutant power, as most mutants are in one respect or another, in that he creates spontaneous mutations within himself that possess various powers. Being limitless makes one surprisingly vague, which is why Legion hasn't really been that interesting a character in his nearly 24 years. David Haller also could be defined by his father, Charles Xavier, which is really where we get a lot of our understanding of him as a character. David most famously created the Age of Apocalypse universe, which is not only super-cool but really dangerous. He has spent most of his character life as a villain, a threat and this ticking bomb that could go off at any moment. He's also been defined by his loneliness: Legion tried to kill Magneto to get more love and attention from his father. He created a pocket universe in "Age of X" to feel wanted and like a hero. Still, despite all of this, it took Ruth Aldine, Blindfold, to see past all of that and find a real person, and because she did, the readers did so, too. It took that kind of love to make the fractured Legion whole.
Let's start at the beginning: Legion and Blindfold first crossed paths at the start of the series (which isn't exactly true, as she was a bit of an Easter egg in "Age of X," but let's go with the flow) as most burgeoning X-relationships do: in tragedy. He … was a man manipulated by a fractured mind! She … was a mysterious precog who was destined to be his "nemesis!" It wasn't a perfect longing glance across a crowded room, but what is? Blindfold tried to stop his mind from unraveling and was psionically stabbed for her troubles. Legion went to the X-Mansion to try and save her and wound up battling a villain from her past. That initial confrontation turned to curiosity, as Ruth now followed David through his adventures in the book, a sort of blind judge of his actions, motivations and what was to come. These two fall in love quite naturally over the course of 24 issues, and it's heartwarming to read. As Ruth sees something in David he can't, he tries to be a better person. Did one of these lead to the other?
Of course, there's a large mutant battle and world-shaking danger on the horizon. Does love save David Haller in the end? Well, no, not really. As of X-Men Legacy #24, David no longer exists within the 616 universe, and that's pretty much as not-saved as you can get. Then again, love did sort of save him in the end: Right before the end of all creation, David saw himself, flaws and all, as whole. None of the labels, none of the legacy of being Xavier's son — just a man and all he could be within himself.
This sounds like a lot of self-actualism hoodoo, but trust me, it's all in the book, and there's so much for the reader in the pages of X-Men Legacy #24 to just take in and stew over that I haven't been able to get it out of my head for days now. In fact, it really is just for the reader, as David takes the time to look beyond the pages and both curse us and comfort us in the story that's wrapped around him. After he'd gathered up all of the fractured mutations that lived in his mind, there was always one, the Weaver, that refused to be absorbed. In the end, the Weaver was himself, at least a part of himself that accepted him for who he was; as the darker evil side of David told him a couple issues back, the best way to cure a sickness of the mind is to learn to live with it. All those parts of Legion, could he live with who he ultimately was? Yes. What allowed him to do so was the 'thought' (whether actual thought, psychic projection, internalized realization, etc. etc.) that his father was proud of him. An act of love.
So, being fully realized, he refuses to submit to a universe where he could not rule himself and unmakes reality so that he never was. Where does this leave Ruth? Pretty OK, it turns out: A part of David (again, actual thought, psychic projection, internalized realization, etc.; psychics are so confusing) remains in her mind. He never truly leaves her, just resides in her heart, no matter what anyone else will tell her.
X-Men Legacy is very clear: songs, journeys and stories most of all have meaning with distance. The moment is beautiful but it's the beauty that it leaves behind in your mind that can carry you through a lot of deeper moments yet to come. And it's the things that stay with you forever that are the things that come to an end.
Thanks, Mr. Spurrier.
The thing I don't get is if Legion never exist then did The Age of Apocalypse and Age of X happen… what we're currently left with is loads of effect with no cause.
No Legion = No Age of Apocalypse = No X-Man, no Holocaust (so Rusty never died and Asteroid X never crashed, so no Utopia island), no Sugar Man (so no mutant process in Genosha, so no X-Tinction Agenda, etc.), no Dark Beast (so no Morlocks, or at least not as many).
No Legion = No Legion Quest
No Legion = No Age of X = No Frenzy joining the X-Men; Chamber staying looking blue like Apocalypse; Havok, Polaris and Rachel getting home another way because otherwise no new X-Factor and Uncanny Avengers).
Plus others… you get my drift. For everything to be the same EXCEPT no Legion how can you explain the rest??? It doesn't make sense.
Richard Porter: You will get the OMD answer – It all happened, just in a different way.
Richard: I'm sure they'll just blame it on somebody else. It was still a great run & I do feel like it was very under appreciated.
I am more interested in knowing if all the events of the book were negated and if we will see the antagonists legion fought show up again later like blindfolds brother and the guy on the moon.
I interpreted the events as Legion being so powerfully, that he was able to pick and choose what he wanted to reverse or uncreate. Therefore, everything in x-men canon is still there, except for him. Did age of apocalypse happen? yes. but no one in 616 is aware david started it. Did charles xavier have a son that he neglected? yes. just no one in the 616 remembers. so on and so on.
Was hoping this series would get interesting in the last issue. Thankfully I didn't hope to hard.
Anyway, Spurious wrote himself two outs on this – 1) David likely continues to live in Ruth's head. And given the nature of his powers, it's likely not as just a memory, but disguised as merely so. Predictable. 2) In his farewell letter, Spurious lampshades David's coming resurrection. Yawn. I'd be more shocked if he never comes back. RDOD and all that, though.
At least the art was passable and Ruth (she was why I kept reading) was semi-interesting. I do hope she forgets David existed and moves on, but sadly that occurrence will likely be a prelude to David's eventual return (complete with mysterious happenings, likely blamed on other nearby mutants). So maybe it's better to hope she sinks into nearly-non-canonical obscurity.
I've never heard anything but bad things about this book since it came out and it's pretty consistently gotten poor reviews through its entire run with no real credit given except for its covers, but now people are pretty sad it's over? I probably won't read it either way because I can't afford it but I just don't get it. Is this just another case of "oh this book wasn't as bad as we told everyone it was, now a CLASSIC gem is gone, shame on the comics industry"?
I'm not sure what bad reviews you're talking about, poor college kid. The entire run aside from the very earliest issues received good to great reviews. comicbookroundup.com/comic-books/reviews/marvel-comics/x-men-legacy-%282012%29
CBR itself only ever gave it terrible reviews then ignored it. That pretty much torpedoed their credibility.
They managed to repeat the act with Spurrier's new series in an almost comedic fashion.
Reasons I didn't like this ending:
1) A boyfriend committing suicide/faking his own death would be creepy enough, but to then move into Ruth's mind without her prior consent takes it to a whole new level. Unless of course she's deluded, in which case thanks for that piece of psychological baggage some other writer has to sort out or ignore.
2) Legion erasing himself from the timeline is stupid because of all the problems it causes; Age of Apocalypse, etc, in addition to undoing this entire run. If he only made everyone forget about him and is now living in Ruth's head, what's the point?
3) There is zero chance this will stick. He'll return, rendering this entire outcome irrelevant. I'd prefer that runs end by adding something to a character, not by adding to the copious amounts of stories that have to ignored or handwaved in order to move forward.
You got to hand it to Spurrier, the Madoka Magica ending was definitely out of left field; never saw it coming. It's just sad that it was wasted on a character who deserved a better ending. I get that Spurrier wanted to keep Legion from getting reset by future writers, but there are better ways to do that than exile to character limbo. In fact, this is guaranteed to lead to Reset-itis, not prevent it.
As for the paradoxes that resulted because of David's erasure, at least this shows us what contributed to the temporal breakdown at the end of Age of Ultron. Yep, blame it all on Wolverine, Kang and Legion.
A pretty hypocritical article, considering that CBR poorly reviewed this comic and dropped it after two issues.
Still, a little of recognition now is better than nothing, I suppose.
"A pretty hypocritical article, considering that CBR poorly reviewed this comic and dropped it after two issues."
I don't see how it's hypocritical: Carla has no more say about what (or how) CBR reviews than the CBR reviewers have about what Carla writes.
I absolutely loved everything about Legacy, from David's opening slaughter of dozens all the way to him seeing the Prof in Heaven and then him possessing Blindfold. This is one of my favorite books ever! I'm so sad that it's over.

MORGAN LEFAY Earrings Garnet Cluster Celtic Medieval Style
I've crafted these earrings in honor of one of my favorite Medieval heroines: the legendary Morgan LeFay, sister of King Arthur. Although usually depicted in Medieval literature as a sorceress, this was probably due as much to Medieval misogyny as to their embroidering of the story. If she did exist - and there is a kernel of truth in all legends - she was very likely to have been an adherent of the old Goddess-centered faith that was still widely predominant in fifth-century Britain. I've always thought the reason why Marion Zimmer Bradley's book was so spectacularly popular was that Ms. Zimmer brilliantly captured the essence of what Morgan LeFay probably was.
Garnet has been associated with courage, eternal love, mystery and passion since the most ancient times. I always imagine them as one of the fabled Morgan's favorite gems.
The lovely sterling Celtic pendants feature bevelled inlays of deep garnets. I've accented with with a cluster of 4mm. faceted garnets worked on sterling silver filled pins, to closed silver-filled rings. There are a total of 16 wrapped garnets in the pair. They hang from my handmade sterling silver French hooks, beaded with garnets, and include rubber stoppers for security. They measure 1.75" total and 1 & 1/8" without the wires.
Weave a bit of your own enchantment wearing these earrings, my Lady.....I developed my Morgan LeFay line 20 years ago, and it has been in steady demand since then from my regular customers.
The painting is "The Crystal Ball" by the Pre-Raphaelite English Romantic painter John Waterhouse. It always reminds me of Morgan LeFay.
All metals used are sterling silver, except for the jewelry pins which are .925 sterling silver-filled, and all garnets genuine.

The former Metz forward repaid the faith of his manager after just eight minutes when Craig Noone beat Shane Lowry with a mazy run before crossing for the Frenchman who tapped home from six yards.
Millwall were showing no lack of firepower themselves following 11-goal Chris Wood's return to parent club West Brom. Lowry delivered for Darius Henderson after 24 minutes and his header drew a fine stop from David Marshall.
Cardiff had Marshall to thank again when he blocked a stinging drive from Dan Shittu with his feet to ensure they led at the break.
Substitute Jordon Mutch went close to a second 10 minutes after the restart but David Forde produced a flying save to keep out his long-range drive.
Dangerous in attack, the hosts looked susceptible at the back and Dany N'Guessan, recalled to the starting XI following the departure of Wood, fired a warning shot into the side-netting on the hour mark after a swift counter-attack.
Kenny Jackett's side were firmly on top in the second half and the impressive Marshall was again called into action minutes later, this time tipping James Henry's free-kick around the post.
His opposite number was keen to prove his worth as the game began to open up in the final 20 minutes and Forde kept them in it with a brilliant parry to deny Noone.
Malky Mackay introduced Heidar Helguson in place of Gestede 13 minutes from time as the Bluebirds used all their experience to hold on for a vital three points.

|The spatial and temporal distributions of transparent exopolymer particles (TEP) were studied for the Gulf of Cádiz, by analyzing its abundance in the euphotic and upper mesopelagic zones. Both layers of the water column should reflect a distinct pattern in TEP distribution, as production of TEP is mainly linked to phytoplankton activity, which is sited in the euphotic zone, while losses of TEP due to aggregation-sinking and degradation occur from the surface to further below in the water column. Concentration of TEP in the euphotic zone reflected the varied oceanographic characteristics of the studied region. It was higher in coastal upwellings, fronts and such areas of topographic forcing, suggesting that TEP were being produced by active growing phytoplankters. A comparison with a well-known ecosystem, the coastal upwelling in the northwestern Alboran Sea, showed that the TEP:Chl a ratio at stations with clear eutrophic characteristics was several orders of magnitude lower than in the area southwest of the anticyclonic current of the Gulf. This ratio in the highly dynamic system of the Strait of Gibraltar seems to have a much clearer relation with the stage of a bloom and, at a basin scale, to the trophic condition of the ecosystem than TEP concentrations alone. Throughout the area studied in the Gulf of Cádiz, the role of TEP for aggregation processes was analyzed based on two aggregation models. Both approximations pointed to the importance of TEP in the export of matter from the euphotic zone to deeper waters in the Gulf of Cádiz.

Back in December 1999, I ordered a bowling ball over the internet from Action Bowling Supply (also known as Bowl300.com) for my son's birthday. Action Bowling Supply's promise was to ship within ten working days.
After twelve business days I called to check on the status of the bowling ball. They said it was sent to their shipping section and should go out the next day. I informed the person on the phone to provide UPS with special instruction not to drop the ball off at my door step because the extreme cold conditions would damage the ball. In these type of high-performance bowling balls the core can crack very easily in extreme temperatures, without any external proof . The person said that he would relay those instructions.
The ball arrived and was simply left on the front porch in freezing temperatures. When I arrived home, about four hours after delivery, I called UPS to come pick up the unopened package because of failure to follow agreed upon instructions. I called Action Bowling Supply to inform them of my actions and they said that my actions were satisfactory. I requested they send another ball out to replace the one being returned. They stated they couldn't until the other one got returned to them. They recommended that I order a second one, then the first one could just be credited.
I ordered the second one. I began to e-mail them from the tenth business day on to find out status. Nobody ever responded. When I called to check on it they stated I had to speak to a supervisor but none was available at that time. I asked for specific time that a supervisor would be available. They provided me with times, but the supervisor was never there. Fifteen business days later the order was cancelled by me. Eighteen business days from original order date the ball was shipped. When the order arrived I was dumbfounded because I thought the order was cancelled. Once again I refused delivery. The person I spoke with at Action Bowling Supply just said, "OK" and the two ball orders would be credited to my account. In March I noticed neither ball was credited to my account. At least twice a week, for two months, I sent electronic mails (that were never answered) and made phone calls (where I was always given the run around.)
Finally, after two months of staying on their back they credited the balls, but refused to credit the $24 shipping and handling for the two balls stating that it was my fault for the returns. They stated there was nothing wrong with their delivery times or the conditions of the balls (even though it is impossible to tell the condition of a core by physical appearance.)
It is this "reporter's" opinion and experience that Action Bowling Supply (a.k.a. Bowl300.com) cannot be trusted with your merchandise or money.

About the Book
Aldwyn, a street-smart alley cat, pretended he had telekinetic powers so young wizard Jack would chose him as a familiar. Aldwyn then learned that he and two other familiars—Skylar the blue jay and Gilbert the tree frog—were destined to undertake a perilous quest to defeat Paksahara, an evil hare who'd been familiar to the queen.
In Circle of Heroes, the third book of The Familiars series for middle-grade readers, Paksahara and her undead animal army control the Shifting Fortress. Aldwyn and his friends have to recapture it to return magic to the queendom of Vastia.
Fans of The Guardians of Ga'hoole series and Erin Hunter's Warriors books will love the mix of humor, magic, and animal adventure story in Circle of Heroes by Adam Jay Epstein and Andrew Jacobson.
With human magic still gone in Vastia, it's up to Aldwyn, Skylar, and Gilbert to capture the Shifting Fortress and bring the evil Paksahara down. To overcome Paksahara's spell, the familiars embark on a dangerous quest to gather seven descendants of the queendom's most ancient and powerful animals. Time is already running out when Aldwyn finds a troubling scroll and begins to doubt their plan.
With inventive magic, epic action, and laugh-out-loud humor bursting from every page, Circle of Heroes is an extraordinary tale of friendship and adventure you won't want to see end.

Mann worked on production for Master P's I'm Bout It, E-40's Southwest Riders, and Mr. Serv-On's Life Insurance before turning back to his own career. Given a big push by Master P's breakout success in the middle of 1997, Brotha Lynch Hung's sophomore album, Loaded, followed in 1997. EBK4 followed in 2000 and both Blocc Movement and Virus appeared the next summer. The year 2002 was less busy, with Appearances: Book 1 being released in the spring and the Plague DVD following it that summer. His 2010 release Dinner and a Movie found him on Tech N9ne's label, Strange Music. The concept album was followed by another, Coathanga Strangla, in 2011.

Man held in jailApril 06,2013
BENNINGTON — An Arlington man is being held in jail after being accused of taking two cartons of cigarettes from a Manchester store March 27 and some miscellaneous items from an Arlington doctor's office March 9.
Benjamin S. Payne, 32, was arraigned in Bennington criminal court this week on a felony charge of burglary and two misdemeanor charges of petty larceny.
Payne pleaded innocent Monday but at a hearing Tuesday, defense attorney Lucy McCarthy said her client would not object to being held in prison because the Department of Corrections revoked his furlough.
Police said Payne took some tourniquets and needles from Arlington Family Practice on March 9. The combined value of the items was about $1.50, police said Payne was also accused of taking two cartons of cigarettes and going through an employee's handbag at Maplefield's store in Manchester on March 27. He was charged with burglary because police said he entered an area of the store not open to the public.

Cairo: Egypt`s leading religious scholars on Tuesday elected an apolitical Islamic law professor as the country`s grand mufti, a position whose holder carries wide influence over legislation and social affairs.
The 24-member Senior Scholars Authority elected Dr Shawky Ibrahim Allam, professor of Islamic law in Tanta University, as the new Grand Mufti and the matter has been sent to the president to issue his decision, a statement from al-Azhar said.
President Mohammed Mursi, a Muslim Brotherhood member, is expected to formalise his appointment soon.
Allam is to replace the outgoing mufti, Ali Goma, who will retire at the age of 61 next March. Goma had been in the position since 2003.
Earlier this month, the Egyptian presidency turned down a request by the Al-Azhar Scholars to extend Goma`s tenure, the website said.

Dov Charney
January 31, 1969
Montreal, Quebec, Canada
|Silver Lake, Los Angeles, California, US
Dov Charney (born January 31, 1969) is a Canadian-born artist and industrialist. He founded American Apparel and served as the CEO from 1989-2014.
At American Apparel, Charney was involved in nearly every part of the business process from design and manufacturing to marketing.[1][2][3][4][5] At a time when the US garment industry had largely shifted to outsourcing manufacturing, Charney built American Apparel into a vertically-integrated fashion company—the largest clothing manufacturing operation in the USA—where every aspect of the business—from design and manufacturing to distribution and marketing—is done from American Apparel's headquarters in Los Angeles.[6][7] Charney was also responsible for American Apparel to be an early adopter of RFID tags on garments in 2007 in an effort to reduce theft and improve inventory control.[8][9][10] In addition, Charney pioneered the Made in USA sweatshop-free model of fair wages and a refusal to outsource manufacturing.[11][12][13]
Charney has also been associated with several controversial lawsuits, including a lawsuit from film director Woody Allen[14] and sexual harassment lawsuits involving ex-employees.[15][16][17] In 2014 the issues resulting from some of these led to his dismissal as the company's chief executive officer.

Early and personal life[edit]
Charney was born in Montreal, Quebec. His father, Morris Charney, is an architect, and his mother, Sylvia Safdie, an artist.[18] Charney is a nephew of architect Moshe Safdie.[19] He attended Choate Rosemary Hall, a private boarding school in Connecticut[20] and St. George's School of Montreal.[21] Charney grew up with, and was influenced heavily by, the culture of Montreal and his Jewish heritage.[19][22] He briefly attended Tufts University. As a teenager, he "fell in love" with the United States, and drew a sharp contrast between American and Canadian cultures.[19] "...when he was 15, and "had fallen in love with the U.S. in the way only a Canadian kid can – because Americans had the freedom to choose from hundreds more kinds of sugar breakfast cereals than us." As a teenager, Charney was an admirer of American-made products.[23] As a teen, he became disillusioned with Quebec nationalism which he felt was widespread during the 1980s.[24]
Charney's teenage infatuation with the US inspired the aesthetics and name of the apparel company he later founded.[19][23] His first ventures in fashion began in high school, when he started importing Hanes and Fruit of the Loom t-shirts across the border to Canadian friends.[25] At Choate, he claims to have shipped as many as 10,000 shirts at a time, using a rented U-Haul truck to transport the goods.[26]
In 1987, he enrolled at Tufts University. While at Tufts, he continued to operate his business, but dropped out by 1990 to pursue the apparel business full-time.[27] He borrowed $10,000 from his father and moved to South Carolina to transition from importing T-shirts to manufacturing them.[28] In 1996, Charney's company restructured when it was unable to cover its debt and filed for bankruptcy reorganization under Chapter 11.[20][29] On July 4, 1997, he went to Los Angeles.[30] By 2003, Charney had opened his first retail store and employed over 1,300 people.[31]
American Apparel[edit]
Building the brand[edit]
In 1991, Charney began making basic T-shirts under the American Apparel brand. The initial T-shirts were made of simple 18-single jersey and were positioned to compete with the Hanes Beefy-T.[32] The primary market objective was to sell garments to screen printers and wholesale clothiers in the United States and Canada.[33] In 1997, as his design, the 'Classic Girl', built momentum, Charney transitioned manufacturing to Los Angeles. In 2000, American Apparel moved into its current 800,000 sq ft (74,000 m2) factory located in Downtown Los Angeles.[34]
It was his aim in building American Apparel that it "live beyond [his] lifetime." According to Charney: "We'll be a heritage brand. It's like liberty, property, pursuit of happiness for every man worldwide. That's my America." [35]
Role as manufacturer/retailer/CEO[edit]
Charney is founder and former CEO of American Apparel, but formally went by the title of "Senior Partner."[36][37] He infused his personal progressive politics into the company brand paying factory workers between $13–18 USD/hr, offering low-cost, full-family healthcare for employees and taking a company position on immigration reform.[38][39][40] Workers are also allowed free international phone calls during work hours.[38] He claims to do this not for moral reasons but because it is a better business strategy.[41][42] He makes all product development and creative hiring decisions himself.[43]
Under Charney, American Apparel instituted "team manufacturing" which pools the strongest workers towards priority orders.[44] After its implementation, garment production tripled and required a less than 20% staff increase.[44] He formed the company as a domestic vertically-integrated manufacturer,[45] making him the largest manufacturer still producing garments in America.[46] Because of its vertically integrated and domestic manufacturing model, American Apparel's gross margins are actually significantly higher than other basic apparel brands. According to the company, its blended margins are roughly 70% (while GAP averages about 30% and luxury brands like Prada are between 65 and 70%.)[47]
Initially American Apparel was a wholesale brand but in 2003 it expanded into the retail market. Its first stores were in Montreal, New York City and Los Angeles.[38][48] By 2005, the company had over $200M in revenue.[32] Retail operations have grown to include 260+ retail stores. In 2008, he was named Retailer of the Year at the Michael Awards, a fashion industry mainstay.[49][50] The award has previously gone to Calvin Klein and Oscar de la Renta.[51]
In December 2006, Charney entered into an agreement to sell American Apparel for $360 million to the special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) Endeavor Acquisition as a way of taking the company public.[52] As a result of the agreement, Charney was named President and Chief Executive Officer of the publicly traded company known as American Apparel, Inc. He remained the majority shareholder, and all full-time employees of American Apparel were given up to 500 shares of stock depending on length of employment.[53]
Fashion and lifestyle[edit]
Charney is known for his fashion sense, which is geared towards "young metropolitan adults."[54] The 'fit' of a shirt is something he often stresses.[55] He was named Man of the Year by both the Fashion Industry Guild and Apparel Magazine for his design work.[56] In 2008, The Guardian named American Apparel "Label of the Year".[57]
From the onset, Charney was known for producing clothing that is both logo and brand-free, which is considered important to younger consumers who are wary of corporate branding.[58]
Charney lives in the Garbutt House, a historic mansion atop a hill in Silverlake designed by Frank Garbutt, an early movie pioneer and industrialist.[32] The home is made entirely out of concrete due to Garbutt's deathly fear of fire. During his time at American Apparel Charney was consumed with work, often sleeping in his office at the company's factory, leaving little separation between his personal and work life.[32] The house often functions as a dormitory for out-of-town workers doing business at the company headquarters.[32]
Advertising and brand management[edit]
Until his recent ouster by American Apparel's board of directors, Charney was directly involved in his company's design, branding, and advertising. His print campaigns are award-winning and among the most followed in the garment industry.[59] Charney has promoted a branding strategy that spotlighted his treatment of workers as a selling point for the company's merchandise, promoting American Apparel's goods as "sweatshop free." A banner on top of the downtown factory states "American Apparel is an Industrial Revolution."[46]
The company is also known for its simple and provocative ads featuring women, including employees. The subjects are often not, but sometimes are, professional models, and often chosen personally by Charney from local hangouts and stores.[60] He shoots many of the advertisements himself.[61] His advertising has been criticized for featuring young, even teenage, models in sexually provocative poses. However, it has also been lauded for honesty and lack of airbrushing.[62][63] In 2005, Charney won the "Marketing Excellence Award" in the LA Fashion Awards.[64]
Annie Hall billboard lawsuit[edit]
In May 2007, American Apparel posted two billboards in New York and Los Angeles featuring a still image of actor Woody Allen from his 1977 movie Annie Hall.[15] They were removed at Allen's request within a week; he subsequently sued American Apparel on various grounds (including rights to privacy, and property rights).[15]
According to Charney, the billboard, which featured a photo of Allen as an Orthodox rabbi and "cheeky" Yiddish text ("The High Rabbi"), was a commentary on the tabloid coverage he received from several unproven sexual harassment lawsuits and the way that he and Allen—both Jews—had been treated by the media.[65][66] In an article published in The Guardian he wrote: "There are no words to express the frustration caused by these gross misperceptions, but this billboard was an attempt to at least make a joke about it."[67]
American Apparel's insurance company settled the case for U.S. $5 million (half of what Allen sought in damages)[68] on the eve of trial, the largest settlement of this type of lawsuit in New York State history.[69][70] Charney insisted that settlement was not his decision and expressed regret at being unable to defend in court what he believed to be speech protected by the First Amendment.[67]
During its routine meetings in March 2014, American Apparel's board learned that an arbitrator hearing one of the sexual harassment cases against Charney and the company had reached a decision in the case. While ruling that the main harassment claim had not been proven, the arbitrator found against the company and Charney on a defamation claim, awarding $700,000 for that to Irene Morales, saying that Charney had failed to prevent a subordinate from posting naked pictures of her online. Up until then the board had steadfastly maintained that all the allegations against Charney, most of which were likewise settled in confidential arbitration proceedings, were not factually sufficient to constitute misconduct requiring disciplinary action.[71]
They also had strong financial reasons for replacing him. AA had posted losses in all but one of the previous 17 quarters, including $106 million during the preceding year, and the company had become a penny stock, Its financial options were limited—Charney's own portion of the company had been diluted from 45% to 27% during one effort to raise cash, which made it easier for the board to take him on. Some lenders refused to deal with the company at all while Charney was in charge, and those that did charged dearly; the interest rate on one of its major loans was 20%.[71]
With this now "established legal fact" in hand, the board began to quietly investigate Charney and prepare for the possibility of firing him, a move they anticipated he would resist vigorously. They worked closely with the company's law firm, Jones Day, to interview employees without Charney finding out. When they were done in June, the majority of the board confronted Charney with a throffer: either he quietly resigned as CEO and took a multimillion-dollar long-term position as a consultant, or they would fire him and make public why. He chose the latter.[71]
American Apparel publicly suspended Charney on June 18, 2014, stating that they would terminate him for cause in 30 days.[72][73] The company's board claimed at the time that it had "new information" which led it to finally fire Charney. "We have heard for years allegations and rumors in newspaper stories that were not sufficient to take action," said new co-chairman Allan Mayer. "But what came to our attention was not allegations and rumors but established fact." He declined to elaborate at that time. The board had just begun an investigation into how Charney responded to a 2011 lawsuit by a former employee who claimed he had held her against her will as a "sex slave", a suit settled in arbitration.[74]
Two days later, a company insider posted a "confession" to the social network Whisper asserting that the reasons for Charney's dismissal were "purely financial ... Everything else is bullshit. The board has nothing new." BuzzFeed got in touch with the poster through Whisper and was able to obtain the board's dismissal letter to Charney. It repeated the board's earlier allegation that he had allowed a subordinate to pose as Morales on a blog and make sexually provocative posts to him, which had apparently led to major punitive damages awarded to Morales by the arbitrator, calling this a breach of his fiduciary duty. Further in that vein, the board said, it head learned of an attempt to possibly suborn perjury in a "pending litigation matter". The letter also charged Charney with misusing corporate assets for personal gain, such as paying lucrative severance packages, bonuses and salary increases in exchange for silence from putative accusers as well as using corporate apartments himself and buying travel for family members with company funds, violating company policy by refusing to attend mandatory sexual harassment training sessions and disrupting them when others attended.[75]
As a result of Charney's behavior, the board claimed, the company's costs had increased unacceptably. "The company's employment practices liability insurance retention has grown to $1 million from $350,000 ... the premiums for this insurance are well outside of industry standards." His reputation had also hurt American Apparel's financing, as "many financing sources have refused to become involved with American Apparel as long as you remain involved with the company" and those that did had imposed "a significant premium for that financing in significant part because of your conduct." It gave him the 30-day suspension to "effect a cure" for these issues.[75] Charney demanded the board reinstate him, threatening to sue for age discrimination.[76]
In December 2014, Charney was terminated as a Chief Executive Officer after months of suspension. He was replaced by Paula Schneider, president of ESP Group Ltd, company of brands like English Laundry, on January 5, 2015.[77] In December 2014, Charney told Bloomberg Businessweek he was down to his last $100,000 and that he was sleeping on a friend's couch in Manhattan.[78] Following his suspension as CEO in the summer of 2014, Charney teamed up with the Standard General hedge fund to buy stocks of the company to attempt a takeover.[79]
Charney has filed a number of lawsuits against American Apparel and Standard General in connection with his claim that he was fired illegally and disenfranchised a shareholder of the company. On March 25, Charney's lawyer Keith Fink affirmed that Charney was suing American Apparel in private arbitration for $40 million in damages stemming from a breach of his employment contract.[80]
Additionally, on May 7, 2015 Charney sued Standard General, (the hedge fund that took control of American Apparel following his 2014 ouster) for $30 million, claiming that Standard General's public statements that the investigation of Charney was "independent and carried out by a third party" was allegedly untrue, and as such was defamatory and an intentional interference with economic relations and prospective economic relations. In the same lawsuit Charney claims the investigation of himself was a "sham" and he said American Apparel's board, controlled by Standard General, sacked him because he wouldn't drop his fight to regain control of the retailer and accept the settlement that was offered to him (an alleged multimillion-dollar consulting—employment contract) and because he refused to release his claims as a shareholder against both the company and the investment firm.[81]
On May 12, 2015 Charney sued American Apparel and Colleen Brown for a 20 million dollar defamation claim relating to a written statement Ms. Brown make to employees whereby she stated Charney had signed a contract whereby he agreed in writing that "he would never come back to American Apparel", which Charney claims he never signed.[82]
On May 18, 2015 American Apparel sued Charney accusing him of running a "scorched earth campaign" as he tries to regain control of the company. Connected to that same litigation, on June 1, 2015, the Company obtained a temporary restraining order in Delaware Chancery Court preventing Charney from criticizing the company or seeking the removal of board members through July 16, 2015, the date of American Apparel's 2015 annual shareholder's meeting.
On June 19, 2015 Charney sued American Apparel and a former board member, David Danziger, alleging that Danziger interfered with Charney's economic interests when in late June 2014, he spoke to the company's second largest shareholder in an alleged attempt to block Charney's effort to gain shareholder support so he could take back control of his company. When the board realized that Charney was collaborating with the company's second largest shareholder, Five T to take control of the company and the board itself, Charney claims board member, David Danziger contacted Five T and told them that Charney was involved in acts which were criminal in nature, thereby preventing Charney from obtaining Roth's support.[83][84]
On June 24, 2015, Charney sued American Apparel, the former CFO, John Luttrell, former board members David Danzinger, Robert Greene, Marvin Igelman, William Mauer and Allan Mayer. Among other things, Charney claimed the various defendants participated in a scheme to trick Charney into diluting his ownership stake in the company in early 2014 in an effort to sell the company in spite of his objections.[85]
Under Charney's stewardship, American Apparel took a leading role in the promotion of a number of prominent social causes:
Legalize LA[edit]
Legalize LA was an immigration reform campaign conceived by Charney and promoted by American Apparel beginning in 2008. The campaign featured billboards and full-page ads in national publications as well as t-shirts sold in retail locations emblazoned with the words "Legalize LA." Proceeds from the sale of the shirts were donated to immigration reform advocacy groups. The campaign called for the overhaul of immigration laws so as to create a legal path for undocumented workers to gain citizenship in the United States.[86][87]
Legalize Gay[edit]
In November 2008, after the passing of Proposition 8, which banned same-sex marriages in California, Dov Charney and American Apparel created "Legalize Gay" T-shirts to hand out to protesters at rallies. The positive reaction led American Apparel to sell the same shirts at stores and online.[88] On July 20, 2009 the window of an American Apparel store was broken by a vandal in response to the campaign. In the next two days, employees at the Silver Spring location as well as the Georgetown store received threatening phone calls, with the perpetrators demanding the T-shirts be taken down.[89] Rather than take the T-shirts down, the company insisted that every store in the Washington, D.C. area display a "Legalize Gay" shirt.[90]
Ethical views[edit]
In an interview with Vice.tv, Charney spoke out against the poor treatment of fashion workers in developing countries and refers to the practices as "slave labor" and "death trap manufacturing". Charney proposed a "Global Garment Workers Minimum Wage" as well discussed in detail many of the inner workings of the modern fast fashion industry practices that creates dangerous factory conditions and disasters like the 2013 Savar building collapse on May 13, which had the death toll of 1,127 and 2,500 injured people who were rescued from the building alive.[91]
Charney has been the subject of several sexual harassment lawsuits, at least five since the mid-2000s, all of which have settled or been dismissed, with no harassment ever proven.[92] Through early 2010, none of the accusations had been proven.[93][94] Some cases remain pending, but the remaining were dismissed, remanded to private arbitration, or "thrown out".[66][95][96][97][98]
Charney maintained his innocence in all the lawsuits, telling CNBC that "allegations that I acted improperly at any time are completely a fiction."[99] The company and independent media outlets have publicly accused lawyers in the lawsuits against American Apparel of extortion and of "shaking the company down."[32][100][101][102] On the eve of trial in one case, the plaintiff confessed that she had not been subjected to sexual harassment and agreed to go to an arbitration hearing aimed at clearing Charney's name. However, the plaintiff failed to show up to the hearing and a ruling was unable to be reached. As a result, the $1.3 million settlement was dissolved and the matter reemerged as a negative media controversy for Charney.[103][104][105] The company was later sued by four ex-models for sexual harassment, including one separately named plaintiff who sued the company for $250 million.[32] The latter lawsuits were subject to much controversy when unsolicited nude photographs, consensual sexual text messages and requests for money surfaced.[100][106] Charney was accused of being responsible for these leaks in a later lawsuit.[107]
In 2004, Claudine Ko of Jane magazine[108] published an essay narrating multiple sexual exchanges that occurred between them while spending time with Charney. The article said that Charney consistently propositioned his employees. Charney admitted to using the word "sluts" in front of employees, in a deposition on another sexual harassment case, and denied that "slut" was a derogatory term.[62][109][110][111] The article's publication brought extensive press to the company and Charney, who later responded that he believed that the acts had been done consensually, in private and outside the article's bounds.[112][113][114][115]

While the Gap's imaging exemplifies the kind of sandblasted, bland notion of good-looking young Americans who have been the standard since long before "Dawson's Creek" or "The O.C.," the models in American Apparel's print ads challenge conventional notions of beauty. Before the ballyhooed Dove soap campaign, Charney embraced the notion of "real" advertising, photographing young ethnic and mixed-race men and women with asymmetrical features, imperfect bodies, blemished skin and visible sweat stains on the clothes they are modeling — the kind of artsy, latter-day-bohemian, indie-culture-affiliated young adults who live and shop in the neighborhoods where American Apparel stores are located.

Charney has been the subject of several, unproven, sexual harassment suits and claims to have been victimised by the media in the past. He said that he used Woody Allen in his company's ads because he wanted to draw attention to the way he and Allen – both high-profile Jews – had been treated.

BOWLING GREEN, Ky. (AP) - Leasia Wright scored 18 points and
went a perfect 11 of 11 from the foul line in leading DuPont Manual
to a 50-41 win over Perry County Central Wednesday night in the
first round of the girls high school basketball state tournament.
The Lady Crimsons (34-2) beat a Lady Commodores squad that, as
one of six schools to win 30 games coming into the state
tournament, was considered a major roadblock.
DuPont Manual got in front of Perry County Central 24-12 while
forcing the Lady Commodores (30-3) into 14 turnovers and 4-of-23
shooting from the field.
Perry County Central clawed back, thanks to double-double
performances from Kayla Rankin (18 points, 13 rebounds) and Kendall Noble (10 points, 11 rebounds), but the Lady Commodores never came closer than two points in the second half.
DuPont Manual advanced to play the winner of Muhlenberg
County-Montgomery County in Friday's quarterfinals.

Have you purchased this item?Write A Review
Only product with 2 TB storage that does not require an external power supply. Works well with my Linux box. However doesn't seem to support SMART status or atleast ubuntu is unable to read it. Otherwise the product works well and I've not had any problems with it.
Good but there was no separate cable for USB 2 & USB 3 port, now I'm connecting it in USB 2 port but don't know whether the speed will increase or not or even will connect or not when I'll go for USB 3, now I'm getting only 20mbps speed(max)...
light weight and compact.Good value for money. do not forget to register it on WD web site for warranty and support.
1.compact (Like Mobile) 2.Attractive design 3.No external power 4.very Low temp 5.less power utilization
This product have the special feature of locking the whole hard disk with password which is great. USB 3.0 is great File transfer rate is very good. Easy to use & Easy to carry. If possible please provide a safety carrying pouch for it.
No problem with the service from Snapdeal. Got delivered before the delivery date. No problem with the product. Even with my USB 2.0 laptop, it starts with a speed of around 60 Mbps. Then keeps on reducing and finaly becomes stable between 20 to 30 Mbps depending on the type of files i am copying.
This is a no nonsense HDD at the best possible price. Have been using WD 1TB for a year without any issues. Two years warranty. What more do you want? However not flashy and colourful like its competition.
Liked its durability and performance. I have been using this for almost 2 years now and have found no hiccups till date.
The file transfer is slow and most of the times give error and also freezes during transfers.
guys this is the best external hard drive off all believe my its smaller faster then seagate 's backup plus i got 180Mb/s no my usb 3.0 with my lenovo z580 buy it ..... really worth it........................ thx snap deal
Excellent HDD. Has fallen many times but it has always worked for me even after the fall.
Must buy product, using since January 2014 and no problem till date
I bought this external hard drive through snapdeal for the best price. I use it quite often, and it works perfectly.
Compact and light weight , best used for travel junkies
still working like a champ... original products, great quality from snapdeal only....dill ki deal
If your Tv supports USB 3.0 Interface, then it can be connected.
In size these two models are different. Ultra version is slim, So internal fitting of this is different than "My Passport" . I have used the both models. i have seen good performance in both. But with Ultra version we need to take more care than "My Passport". Because my Ultra version got crashed after fell down from my hands. So i have chosen "My Passport", even if price is little more than Ultra .

Skip to comments.Martha Stewart Calls Sarah Palin A "Dangerous Person" (video)
Posted on 11/21/2009 6:49:31 PM PST by Free ThinkerNY
Martha Stewart: "She's so confused. Anyone in like that in government is a real problem."
(Excerpt) Read more at youtube.com ...
Hey Martha, have you ever been convicted of a felony..
Now let's compare that to Sarah, Sarah, have you ever been convicted of a felony..no she has not..nuff said.
Looks like Martha needs to go back to the pokey and get some loving from a big guy named Molly
A report from a convicted felon!
Is that 'insider info', Martha? Get back to the pokey, daaaahlinks.
Is that John Stewart's mother?
Was that Martha Stewart or was that Andrea Mitchell in drag?
Ironic.....it's difficult to imagine anything more boring than the inane blarney that spews out of Martha's ugly mouth.
"Anyone, who is, uh, like, uh, as, uh, confused, as uh, uh, she is, is... is...is...uh, dangerous."
Palin 2012: Everybody Get Dangerous.
Obviously, Martha hasn't seen Obama without his teleprompter.
An example I transcribed, Obama says ahhhhh so many times in what should be normal speaking, its hard to follow, and just as hard to read or get any understanding of a point.
Obama The key purpose is to ahhhhh, ahhhhh, make sure we had a chance to talk to ahhhhh, some of the commanding officers as well as the Troops here ahhhhhh, to get a sense from them about ahhhhh, how we are approaching a consolidating some of the reduction in violence to ahhhhh, this here. Ahhhhh, comparing note about what that means in Iraq and what that means in Afghanistan.
Are you trying to tell me Obama is articulate and can answer questions intelligently? Not the Obama in the White House, sorry Martha, you look an idiot, again.
Weird. I thought Martha had died. Guess it was somebody else that bakes cookies and makes stuff out of tinsel.
Great, so now the media is asking convicted felons what they think of Sarah Palin. Lets go ask OJ and Scott Peterson what they think of Sarah, they must have an opinion
Wow could she be any more jealous? That was hilarious!
When the Marxist and elitist disparage the good Americans, it means that our side scares the hell out of them.
"It's A Good Thing"
Martha is and always has been a bitch.
This from the loathsome Camp Cupcake, West Virginia, alum.
She looks drunk. Thats very dangerous to be drunk and in front of a camera.
And spent time in jail as a CONVICTED FELON.
Who cares what an ex-con thinks? Can she even vote?
Shut up about politics and get back to what you are good at, like showing how a nice set of curtains can disguise the bars on your windows.
Here's another person to add to the list of who never to give a dime to!
On Friday night, O'Reilly featured Martha on his "Pinhead" segment. He played a video clip of her giving an interview to someone. In the clip, she was bashing Rachael Ray.
She said that Ray's new cook books aren't really new, just remakes of others' recipes, while SHE in writing her cook books always makes each one an original. She also said that she didn't even think that Rachael had a garden, while SHE has a large garden and lots of chickens.
O'Reilly was right! Martha is a jealous pinhead!
She can't even vote!!!! Who gives a tiny rat's rear?
Hey, look at it this way, at least she won't be voting against her, unless Blind Mouse Paterson gives her clemency.
I have this theory and I think I'm right. These older women who have lost their lust for lust transfer that loss to a lust for power and domination over others. These dried up power ho's only get off my being b*tches who take control of others.
And boy are the pissed off. Unlike Sarah Palin who is calm, cool, attractive, funny and well, still a real "woman" if you know what I mean.
The bottom line is that the vag impaired media/power ho's on the left can't stand Sarah Palin because she is hot. Steamy hot. And they hate that. Men (and women) do not look at them the way they look at Sarah. They are that dumb and petty. B*tches...
The comments at the link are horrible to Sarah. Can we freep the comments?
I have to disagree with most of you here. If Palin were on the Left, the same women would be praising her. There are some brainless but beautiful women on the Left (for example, in Hollywood), and they are praised by the MSM and the Left. This is all about politics, IMHO. But, who cares what Martha Stewart thinks, anyway.
It's amazing how much the Left hates Sarah Palin. They are deathly afraid of her. It's like those vampire movies where someone pulls out a cross, and the vampire shirks back into the darkness.
I think all this "She's dangerous" stuff is getting out of hand. Tonight at the book signing in New York(I got this twittered to my twitter page from someone who was there, fortunately Sarah was already gone) some guy went to the book store and threw eggs at her books, destroying 13 of them, also hit a few people. The police caught him, he told the cops he was sorry he did not hit Sarah and he wanted to "hurt her" but the police let him go. Thank God Sarah packs heat and travels with armed guards. It takes ONE looney tune to try to kill her. Now with the DNC and others calling her "dangerous" it only takes one to actually think they mean it literally
Appears that martha is trying to "matter"...not an easy task for a felon. She's a has-been trying get someone's attention...
"Confused"? Just because she doesn't agree with Martha!
Mind boggling arrogance!
Hey Martha! The only person who is dangerous to you, is Rachel Ray - who actually has charisma and the ability to authentically connect with other people. Start worrying less about the threat from Sarah and start worrying about your own mashed potatoes personality.
And I call Martha Stewart a stupid bitch.
Odd for her say that since she likes to run people down in her car.
Now that is fricking hilarious, and also hard to believe. Martha would do anything for a buck; sell stocks and pots. She would even go to jail to make a dollar.
You'd think after what the Dems did to Martha she might think Sarah was the real deal. But maybe her views didn't change in prison.
Okay. I'll bite. Who is Martha Stewart besides an a-hole?
Yea, that's New York politics.
Destroyed property, hit people with eggs and said he wanted to "hurt" Palin.
Not enough for the cops to arrest him.
Good Grief
The MSM is ginning up violence against Sarah Palin.
If anything happens to her, they will be partially responsible and then will be hell to pay.
I guess Sarah lost her vote....Oh yeah...felons can't vote.
No charges were even pressed. I would have pressed charges. Granted the girl who was hit lives 4 hours away but so what. Today its eggs, tomorrow it's a gun. The media and the Dems are funding this. Using the word "Dangerous" to describe someone who has done nothing "dangerous" except expressing her own opinion is insane language to use.
Who the hell needs Martha Stewart:
partially responsible..hell no, they will be FULLY responsible. First the DNC sends out emails to their drones saying how Sarah Palin is "dangerous and trying to stop us from achieving health care" it takes one loon to think SHE is stopping them from getting health care. Then you have this convicted felon bitch who some actually idolize saying the same damn thing. Then you have Newsweek with the front cover saying "How do you solve a problem like Sarah" when I read that it sounded like a threat to me
Really, it's the first thing that came to mind. Oh Martha, I knew you were nutty but you could have skipped that comment. You shouldn't have forced me to choose between a convicted felon and the most demonstrably honest politician of the 21st century.
Alas, no more Martha Stewart merchandise for me!

On 1/17/13 I had several issues with the car I purchased from tempo auto sales. including radiator fluid gushing out of my car, power steering pump went out and severe transmission problems. (I have paperwork on this) I went in to talk to Mike and he asked me what problems I was having with my car, I explained the problems and noises to him and told him the mechanics said I had transmission problems. Mike told me the problems I was having were not transmission related and there for not
covered under warranty there for I paid out of pocket, 3 months later and 1 month after my warranty expired, The transmission went out and the car is no longer drivable. The transmission issue should have been addressed when I first came to him while my warranty was still in affect but he didnt honor it and now wont honor it because he states the warranty has expired. again I have a copy of the work order written on 1/17/13 stating the transmission is not shifting properly and it is slipping.
