Reinventing Comics: How Imagination and Technology Are Revolutionizing an Art Form (2000) is a book written by comic book writer and artist Scott McCloud. It was a thematic sequel to his critically acclaimed Understanding Comics, and was followed by Making Comics.[1]
Reinventing Comics (RC) explains twelve "revolutions" which McCloud predicts are necessary for the comic book to survive as a medium, focusing especially on online comics. The book caused considerable controversy in the comics industry, McCloud famously noting that it had been described as "dangerous".[2]
As promised in the book, McCloud has offered annotations, addenda and his further-developing thoughts about the future of comics on his web site. In particular, he considers his web comic I Can't Stop Thinking to be a continuation of RC, though he has continued to write about the future of comics in many different forms, as he acknowledges RC is "a product of its time".[3]

So they will push harder than anyone for the Yankees to somehow make it to October this year.
"They know what it takes, and they've been there, and they understand what we have to do," manager Joe Girardi said after the Yankees defeated the Toronto Blue Jays, 5-1, Wednesday night at Rogers Centre. "Those are two of the leaders in here. The leaders have to step up, and that's what they're doing."
Pettitte pitched seven strong innings and Jeter got three hits, including a two-run homer, as the Yankees moved within 5 1/2 games of the Boston Red Sox for the wild-card lead.
With a loss Wednesday night, the Yankees would have fallen into a tie for third with the Jays in the AL East and wild-card race (behind second-place Minnesota). In fact, four of the five AL East teams began the day at least five games over .500, the first time that had happened since Sept. 14, 1998, according to the Elias Sports Bureau.
"We've been around for a lot of things -- good times, bad times," Jeter said of himself and Pettitte. "We understand there's a sense of urgency, but I think everyone understands that. As long as everyone in this clubhouse feels as though we can win, we'll be fine."
Although the Yankees' path to the playoffs looks treacherous if not impassable, Pettitte can draw on experience. His 2004 Astros were seven games out of the wild card with 46 games to play and reached the postseason. The next year, Houston was 44-46 before rallying to win the wild card, clinching it the final day of the season.
"When people think you're out, you just want to prove them wrong more," Pettitte said. "We understand we've put ourselves in a tough position. Two years in a row (in Houston), supposedly it was insurmountable. ... We were able to do it last year (rallying in the second half). There's no reason we shouldn't do it again. ... I really believe we can pull this thing off."
Pettitte (13-9) allowed one run on five hits in seven innings for his first win since July 26, breaking a streak of four winless starts.
"Andy was spectacular," Girardi said. "His stuff was outstanding. He used all of his pitches. His curveball and changeup were great tonight."
Pettitte did not issue a walk, struck out four, threw just 83 pitches and allowed one baserunner past second. It was the seventh time in 14 starts he allowed one earned run or fewer.
"All night he was throwing strikes, hitting the corners, hitting the spots," catcher Jose Molina said.
Jeter's three hits gave him 2,498 for his career. Only two players have had 2,500 hits in a Yankees uniform: Lou Gehrig (2,721) and Babe Ruth (2,518). Five active players have 2,500 hits: Ken Griffey Jr., Omar Vizquel, Gary Sheffield, Ivan Rodriguez and Luis Gonzalez.
A two-run homer in the fourth was Jeter's 203rd career homer, tying Roger Maris for 11th place in franchise history.
"Derek's been a spectacular player here for a long, long time," Girardi said. "You don't reach those individual accomplishments without being consistent, staying healthy, playing every day and just being a great player. That's what he's done since 1996."
With 16 hits in his past 28 at-bats, Jeter has raised his average to .298, the highest it's been in three months.
"Derek has been very good over the past two weeks," said leadoff man Johnny Damon, who was 2-for-4 with two runs scored in front of Jeter, "and hopefully he continues his hot streak."
Said Pettitte: "He's a great leader on this team and he leads by example. He leads by going out there and playing every day and in big situations doing big things for us."
The Yankees needed last night's win to avoid a series sweep.
What's that you say? It was only the second game of the series? Well, we can pencil in the Yankees for a defeat Thursday night. Jays ace Roy Halladay hasn't lost to the Yankees in Toronto since Opening Day 2003. Since then, he is 5-0 with a 2.08 ERA in seven home starts against them.

Western Michigan has yet to win a game, but the first-year coach has raised millions of dollars through fundraising, which has led to major renovations within the program's facilities and his 2014 recruiting class is the best in the Mid-American Conference.
He acknowledged Tuesday the product on the field hasn't met his standards or those of the fan base, but he said he feels he has made big strides in changing the culture of WMU football within the Kalamazoo community.
"I think as a whole, I think it's 100 percent success," Fleck said when asked to grade his performance through six games this season. "No one said this would be easy, but you look at the offseason and you look at what we've done in the recruiting department, the facilities department, the fundraising department, the culture department, I think we've been 100 percent a success.
"You look at the wins and losses, yeah, we have not been a success there, but when you look at the foundation being built in our football team and where we're going as a program, I think we're exactly where I thought we'd be. Just because you create energy doesn't mean you're guaranteed a 12-0 season. That's not it. I was hired to build a program and change a culture and turn around a community."
One of Fleck's ideas to improve the game day atmosphere was to hire a DJ to play music during games alongside the marching band. In the Broncos' two home games, a large portion of the student section stayed after halftime, which is a big step forward from years past.
Fleck also talked about the Broncos' loss to Toledo last week and Saturday's 2 p.m. homecoming game against Buffalo at Waldo Stadium.

A New Therapeutic Procedure for Treatment of Objective Venous Pulsatile Tinnitus
Keywords: arteriography; pulsatile tinnitus; sigmoid sinus; vascular malformation
Objective tinnitus is very uncommon in the daily practice of an otolaryngologist. Owing to this rarity, patients seldom are investigated in a correct manner, decreasing the possibility of having an adequate diagnosis and a compatible treatment. Objective tinnitus usually arises from muscular or vascular structures and can be pulsatile (when synchronous with the heartbeat) or nonpulsatile [1-6]. Pulsatile tinnitus may arise in arterial or venous structures, resulting from a turbulent blood flow due to an increase in blood volume or pressure or to changes in the vessel lumen [4, 7]. Its severity is directly related to the subjective annoyance provoked in patients' lives and, in severe cases, can even lead to suicide [1, 4, 8].
Very few articles have described the treatment of patients with pulsatile tinnitus besides the description of the case itself. The objective of our study is to report a case of disabling objective pulsatile tinnitus, the surgical treatment of which via an endovascular route led to its cure, reestablishing the patient's quality of life.
Anamnesis and Physical Examination
P.R.S., a 54-year-old man, complained about a pulsatile tinnitus in his left ear for the prior 3 years, with spontaneous onset and no remission since then. He was strongly convinced that his tinnitus was responsible for his hearing difficulty because compression of the left part of his neck caused tinnitus to disappear and hearing to improve. Tinnitus thoroughly disrupted his life, prohibiting normal sleep and concentration patterns and leading to suicidal intentions. No other complaint was present. The ear, nose, and throat and neurological examination results were normal. However, during auscultation of the ear, we noticed a pulsatile rough bruit coming from the left external canal and from the mastoid, which completely disappeared with a light compression of the ipsilateral jugular vein.
Complementary Examinations
Three pure-tone audiometric examinations were performed within 2 months and showed different results, with a sensorineural hearing loss varying from mild to severe in the left ear. The results were considered inconclusive once the patient reported great difficulty in performing such examinations because he wanted to compress his jugular vein many times to decrease tinnitus and to be able to distinguish the pure-tone signal. The audiologist also reported a significant difficulty in obtaining the pure-tone thresholds because the patient worried too much about compressing his neck to ascertain the given tone. This fact was considered mainly responsible for this fluctuation in pure-tone thresholds. However, vocal audiometry and discrimination were within normal limits. Laboratory examination results were normal and excluded the systemic causes of pulsatile tinnitus, such as anemia and hyperthyroidism. The auditory brainstem response was normal, although the morphology was poorer in the left side. Once again, the patient remained very tense during the entire examination. The computed tomography scan showed an extension of the left transverse-sigmoid sinus, forming a diverticular image protruding into the mastoid area (Fig. 1). Magnetic resonance angiography was normal. Cerebral angiography confirmed the lesion seen in the computed tomography scan, demonstrating a slow and turbulent blood flow within the diverticular image projected from the left transverse-sigmoid sinus (Fig. 2).
Figure 1. Preoperative computed tomography scan showing enlargement of the left transverse-sigmoid sinus with the diverticular image protruding toward the mastoid.
Figure 2. Preoperative arteriography demonstrating the diverticular image projected from the left transverse-sigmoid sinus and a slow and turbulent blood flow.
Owing to the important decrease in the patient's quality of life, we opted for obliteration of the venous diverticulum. The procedure was performed under general anesthesia, puncturing the left internal jugular vein and introducing a self-expanding 8- × 60-mm stent covering the transverse sinus and the opening of the diverticulum. Through a No. 2.3 F. microcatheter, the mesh of the stent was crossed, and coils were left filling the diverticulum. The stent avoided the migration of the coils into the transverse sinus once the opening of the diverticulum was fairly large. The pulsatile tinnitus immediately disappeared after the patient recovered from anesthesia. Although no recurrence was seen during the procedure, the patient developed a small cerebellar area of ischemia, resulting in an ataxic walk, which progressively disappeared during the next 2 months. Postoperative angiography showed absence of the diverticulum with preservation of the blood flow within the transversesigmoid sinus (Fig. 3). After 12 months of follow-up, there was no recurrence of the pulsatile tinnitus.
Figure 3. Postoperative arteriography showing the venous diverticulum obliterated by the coils and the mesh of the sten! prohibiting them from migrating back to the transverse sinus.
The pulsatile tinnitus runs the gamut of differential diagnosis, including vascular tumors (paragangliomas, hemangiomas), vascular malformations (dural arteriovenous fistula), and other congenital or acquired vascular abnormalities [4,9-11]. Owing to the proximity between the ear and large vessels, such as the carotid artery, the sigmoid sinus, and the jugular bulb, pulsatile tinnitus was thought to be more common as a complaint of disease in such vessels [12].
The transverse-sigmoid sinus can be asymmetrical in 50-80% of the normal population and absent in up to 5% of people, according to retrograde jugular venographic scans [13]. Occasionally, it may be aberrant, in a more lateral or anterior position [14]. Then, it usually receives drainage of inconstant veins from the scalp and deep cervical region, called emissary and diploic veins.
An aberrant sinus or thrombosis of venous anastomosis can lead to a turbulent blood flow responsible for an objective pulsatile tinnitus. Because such anomalies do not cause evident neurological symptoms, they traditionally were treated in a conservative manner. Owing to its low incidence [15], venous tinnitus is an exclusion diagnosis. Benign intracranial hypertension, compression of the internal jugular vein by the atlas lateral process, a high-dehiscent jugular bulb, and the presence of an abnormal mastoid emissary vein are known causes of venous tinnitus [5, 16, 17]. The disorder may be related to hemodynamic changes that occur in systemic diseases (anemia, thyrotoxicosis, valvular cardiac disease) and in the presence of predisposing factors (pregnancy, oral contraceptives, collagenous diseases, hypercoagulability states) [18, 19].
The pulsatile tinnitus in our patient was due to an anatomical variation of the transverse-sigmoid sinus, which insinuated itself on mastoid cells by probable thrombosis of an emissary vein (inside the diploë), modifying the regular laminar blood flow and causing its turbulence. As this condition does not implicate a neurological risk, it is advisable to employ a less aggressive treatment, aimed at normalization of blood flow and venous drainage and at anatomical preservation of the involved sinus. However, our patient's quality of life was so disrupted because of the pulsatile tinnitus that we were obliged to discover an alternative solution.
Therapeutic embolization is a viable alternative in cases of pulsatile tinnitus caused by flow alteration, vessel abnormality and, even in some cases, paraganglioma [20]. In our patient, a technical alternative able simultaneously to preserve the flow within the transverse sinus and to allow the occlusion of the diverticular structure was necessary. One alternative would be the placement of coils into the diverticular structure [21], but its large opening would increase the possibility of coil herniation, with consequent occlusion of the transverse sinus. Therefore, we chose instead first to introduce a stent, which originated as a tool for keeping the arteries open after angioplasties, followed by introduction of the coils through its mesh, using the stent as protection. Thus, the coils were kept safe inside the diverticular structure, separating the diverticulum from the normal blood circulation and maintaining a low risk of herniation.
The use of the stent to avoid coil migration had been described previously but only in arterial circulation and for the treatment of pseudoaneurysms [22,23]. We did not find any report associated with coils in pulsatile tinnitus, but this technique significantly increased the safety of the procedure, avoiding coil migration and retaining sinus permeability. The possibility of the diverticular structure emerging as the cause of the pulsatile tinnitus was clearly proved by the disorder's immediate disappearance after such endovascular treatment.
The adequate identification of the possible etiology of pulsatile tinnitus is of utmost importance to determine the appropriate treatment for each case. Surgical intervention via an endovascular route using coils and stents was an effective procedure for our patient. Thus, it may be performed in patients with a disabling pulsatile tinnitus with an etiological diagnosis that calls for such treatment.

In a year marked by an exceptional lack of political leadership, December was a particularly dismal month. On the 8th, The Post and Courier reported that South Carolina needs $30 billion to stem the decline of its decaying road system.
More than 2,000 bridges are unsafe, structurally deficient or weight limited and thousands of miles of roads need to be repaired and resurfaced.
The DOT report concludes, If the decline is allowed to continue, congestion and load restrictions will result in irreparable damage to the states economy.
Five days later (the ink on the newspaper article was barely dry) Charleston County Council voted 5-4 to proceed with the construction of I-526 to Johns Island, depriving the region of at least $556 million that could have been used address the maintenance backlog or to add capacity to critical transportation arteries like I-26.
Then, just one day later the Berkeley/Charleston/Dorchester Council of Governments (COG) approved a plan to seek funding for yet another road through the middle of rural Johns Island. As Johns Island farmer Thomas Legare stated, The body wasnt even cold.
The Johns Island Parkway has been in the works for years. It simply went underground after the demise of the City of Charlestons 2008 request for federal stimulus funds to build it.
According to COG director Ron Mitchum, the Parkway will now be resurrected because of the councils action on I-526. Seabrook Mayor Bill Holtz explained that with the approval of I-526, its urgent. Holtz fears that the interstate would pull traffic from U.S. 17 and Main Road to River Road on Johns Island, and that River Road wont be able to handle it.
This is, of course, exactly the reason James Island activist Robin Welch and others urged the county to reject I-526. The urgency, according to Holtz, is also because on River Road, the trees are just too close to the road.
A casual observer could only stand in dumbfounded amazement, contemplating the question, Why were these decisions made this way?
Some background on Johns Island may help bring the picture into focus. Two major developers, the Beach Company and Kiawah Development Partners, own 2,000 acres near the intersection of River and Bohicket Roads the termination point for the Parkway, the other end of which would connect to I-526.
The COG, whose membership includes Charleston Mayor Joe Riley, the mayors of Kiawah and Seabrook, and three of the five Charleston County Council members who voted for I-526 (but none of the four who opposed it), is the sponsor of the Parkway.
Mayor Riley has been a relentless advocate for both the extension of I-526 and the construction of the Parkway.
These two roads would consume well over $600 million in scarce public funds. But the siphoning of tax dollars to support development on Johns Island does not stop here.
The Beach Companys newest project, Kiawah River Plantation, lies at the intersection of River Road (where the trees are too close to the road) and Bohicket Road (afflicted with a similar tree infestation).
The Beach Company does not want to pay for the roads to its development, including I-526 and the Parkway. Fine. Most developers do not pay for external roads.
But neither does the Beach Company want to pay for its internal roads, or its sewer system, or its parks. So it has applied for a Tax Increment Finance (TIF) District designation that will allow Charleston County taxpayers to reimburse it $85 million for those costs, from tax revenues that would otherwise go to the school district, the fire district and the county.
All told, this amounts to almost three quarters of a billion dollars for urban infrastructure on an island the county and Johns Island residents have agreed should remain rural.
There is a pattern here. A few powerful politicians, arguing lofty goals like safety and economic development, are accomplishing exactly the opposite, diverting enormous sums of taxpayer dollars to favor development at the expense of critical county and state infrastructure needs.
First we get an interstate to Johns Island, then an expressway across it, then millions in subsidies for private infrastructure, all with callous disregard for the environment and the communities in their paths.
But here is the good news. When the I-526 motion was made, four County Council members Dickie Schweers, Colleen Condon, Joe Qualey and Henry Darby all bucked the pressure from road supporters and voted for fiscal sanity.
It will take only one more leader to shift the balance in Charleston County away from the exploitation of people, land and taxpayer dollars, and toward a future that will sustain the beauty and culture of Johns Island.
There is no reason Charleston County cant gain that one brave vote in 2013.
Dana Beach is executive director of the Coastal Conservation League.

I didn't actually set up a network account I don't think? I didn't connect to the net. So I probably don't need to deactivate.
The squeal problem was reported in another thread. At least some people got Black Friday bundle "super-slim" PS3s (with Infamous 1&2/Uncharted 1&2) that make a loud high-pitched noise when playing a disc. Fortunately ours doesn't seem to do that.
While I'm at it - another quick question. Can you plug the controller into any USB charger to charge it? I'd like to have the controllers fully charged up for Xmas, and if I can do it that way I won't need to set up the system again to do it.
EDIT: I'm trying a support chat and will see what they say about resetting it to factory state (I want them to get the system setup prompts when they power it up on Xmas). I'll report here what they tell me.
Not sure what you have to do to have it become activated, perhaps if you used the PS Store or ever signed in on the console it would've become activated.
A quick format should be fine if you're giving the PS3 to someone you know, if you were to sell it to a stranger and you put personal files/info on it you might want to do a full format.
From what I've read you can charge PS3 controllers using usb on a PC. Not sure about usb wall chargers.


text: Yeah, I read that they take some getting used to. I'll start off by using them for my 30-minute walks around the neighborhood and then slowly transition them to my hikes in the forests. Can't wait for them to arrive and to use all my foot muscles as they were intended to!

In a couple of weeks i get a glasfiber connection with tripple-play (TV,
Telephone and internet) The standard speed for the internet is 10 mbit.
What would be wiser:
an UTP connection to the comp (ASUS A8N-SLI Deluxe) or wifi?
The wifi connection would be more esthetic, because otherwise i have to put
cable from one side of the room to the other side (including doors 30
I'm afraid that due to the wifi i can't get everything of the speed, is this
What would you recommend?
And if using wifi, what kind of router?

As CBN celebrates Pat Robertson's 80th birthday, we're also celebrating more than 30 years of coverage from the news department he founded. The following is a look back at the history of CBN News.
The roots of CBN News go back to 1976 when Pat Robertson interviewed then-Georgia Gov. Jimmy Carter about his personal faith and the role of faith in politics and government.
During the late 1970s and into 1980 CBN had no formal news department. Still, anchor Bob Trotter gave regular news updates on "The 700 Club" and CBN opened an office in Washington, D.C.
In 1981, CBN's news presence became more established with the inauguration of Ronald Reagan as president. That was also the day Iran released the U.S. hostages who had been held by the ruling Iranian mullahs for more than a year.
Just a few weeks later, Americans were stunned by another attempted assassination of a president. Veteran newsman Forrest Boyd reported the story for "The 700 Club."
Establishing a Presence
The News department took on the name "CBN News" in March 1982. Most of the first reporters, producers and editors came from a CBN-owned radio station in Portsmouth, Va., and from the newly formed CBN University, now Regent University.
One of the earliest graduates, Michael Patrick, who is now Dean of Communications at Regent, became one of the first news directors.
CBN News' presence in the Middle East also began in the early 1980s, when CBN manned a television station in southern Lebanon and opened an office in Jerusalem. CBN reporters covered Israel's invasion of Lebanon in 1982 and the bombing of the U.S. Marine barracks in Beirut in 1983.
Pat Robertson also had high-profile interviews with former prime ministers Shimon Peres and Yitzhak Rabin and with the young, up-and-coming Israeli Ambassador to the United Nations Benjamin Netanyahu. There would be many more interviews with Netanyahu over the years, including when he was prime minister.
During the 1980s, the Washington, D.C. bureau expanded, receiving credentials to cover the White House and Capitol Hill. For the first time, CBN News covered the national political conventions in 1984, sending 11 people to cover the Democrats in San Francisco (CNN sent more than 300 people that year) and a few more to cover the Republicans in Dallas for Reagan's second nomination. News reporters cameras and editors have been to all the conventions since then.
In the National Spotlight
By the mid-1980s CBN News was receiving national attention, when reporter Cynthia Glaser (now Newman) was nominated for a News Emmy award and attended the ceremonies in New York. The news department also did landmark work on such stories as the dangers of the artificial sweetener Aspartame and the game Dungeons and Dragons.
The late 1980s and early 1990s would bring the fall of communism in Europe and the collapse of the Soviet Union. CBN news sent reporters and camera crews to cover those events, as well as the re-emergence of anti-Semitism in Russia, which would cause an exodus of more than one million Jews to Israel. Many believe it was part of a fulfillment of biblical prophecy.
Long before September 11, 2001, CBN News had investigated the terrorist plans of radical jihadists and warned of the dangers to come. At the turn of the millennium, CBN also sent reporter Chris Mitchell to re-establish a bureau in Jerusalem, which had been closed for a time in the 1990s. Mitchell and his family arrived in August 2000, just weeks before the Palestinians launched the Second Intifada, producing dozens of suicide bombings and killing hundreds of Israelis.
From Jerusalem, CBN News also covered the evacuation of Jewish residents in the Gaza Strip in August 2005, as well as the Second Lebanon War in 2006 and Israel's incursion into Gaza in 2008-09 to stop terrorist rocket fire.
This year, CBN News begins its fourth decade of covering political newsmakers. Through presidential successions and scandal, and power changes in Congress, CBN News has been in touch with the newsmakers. Reporter David Brody has interviewed dozens of political luminaries: President Obama, John McCain, Sarah Palin, Hillary Clinton and the de facto leader of the Tea Party movement, Dick Armey.
A Voice for the Suffering
Beyond the pinnacles of power, CBN News has produced stories about the forgotten, the persecuted and the suffering. International Director Gary Lane and Senior Correspondents George Thomas and Dale Hurd have told stories of Christians persecuted for their faith in places as diverse as Pakistan, Malaysia, Egypt, and Germany.
CBN News reporters and videographers have moved quickly in times of disaster after the Asian Tsunami, Hurricane Katrina, and the recent earthquakes in Haiti and Chile. They covered not only the scope of the devastation, but efforts by CBN's Operation Blessing to provide aid and relieve the suffering.
Under the leadership of Rob Allman, who has been news director since 2004, CBN News has also expanded its Internet coverage, adding video programming at CBNNewschannel.com and including blogs by veteran reporters and editors including David Brody, Chris Mitchell, Dale Hurd, and Erick Stakelbeck.
The people of CBN News have spent more than 30 years now interpreting the times and seasons, with more plans to tell the stories in America's cities and neighborhoods, while chronicling events around the world.
CBN News Sr. Editor John Waage was a producer and assistant editor when the CBN News department was founded 1982. He has worked with CBN since 1980.

Look of Copper Enamel Pencil Box

This year, create a Look of Copper Enamel Pencil Box from Heidi Borchers before you or your favorite kid heads back to school. This is a fun and sophisticated back to school craft. The copper enameling process is complicated and difficult to achieve at home, so use this simple technique instead.
- Aleene's Original Tacky Glue
- Wood pencil box
- Acrylic paints – one for base coat and 3 to 4 for the mixtures
- Brush for base coat
- Tooth picks/wood skewers- for mixing
- Pin – I used a corsage pin
- Waxed paper
- Blue painters tape
For my box, I used a wood box with an indentation on the top. This is ideal for this technique so that the glue mixture does not drip off the top. You can also see that my box had a design embossed into the wood. You will not see this design once you apply your glue mixture.
Using the brush, base coat the entire wood box. Let paint dry.
Using the blue painters tape, tape off the top area where the glue mixture will be placed.
To keep your waxed paper from moving around, tape it down to your work surface. The waxed paper should be large enough to hold the box and have space for mixing the glue and paints. Place a puddle of glue for each color of acrylic paint you will be using. Make one puddle larger (for the background color).
Immediately squeeze acrylic paints into the puddles of glue.
Using the toothpick or wood skewer mix the paint into the glue, until completely mixed. (Note: For the white background, you will need to mix the white paint into the glue. (If you only used the glue, it would be clear when dry which would be another technique all together).
Using a wooden skewer, place the background mixture (white paint and glue) into the area you taped off. Make sure all of the wood area is covered with the mixture. Don't worry about the uneven texture, it will flatten out.
Immediately drop small drops of the other mixtures into the wet background mixture.
To create your designs,place point of the pin in the center of the drop and pull outward through the glue mixture. Wipe the pin point off and continue to draw through and wipe pin off after each time.
You can add more dots of colors on colors, and repeat pulling pin through colors.
Carefully remove blue tape after about two hours. Let glue dry completely. If necessary touch up the box base coat paint color with a brush.
For legs on box, glue plastic water bottle caps onto the bottom of the box and paint. Let paint dry.

BELLWOOD - A longtime Bellwood-Antis school board member who was defeated in the November election is back on the board.
Board members Tuesday appointed Scott Boyer to fill a vacancy created by the resignation of another longtime board member, Jeff Plummer.
Plummer, who had served on the board since 1999, decided to step down because of his work schedule, saying he did not have enough time to devote to his duties as a board member.
Boyer, who was on the board from 1997 to 2004 and from September 2011 through 2013, will complete Plummer's term, which is due to expire in November 2015.
Boyer and Kevin Luensmann were the only two to apply for the position.
After being asked several questions by present board members, Boyer was elected by a 5-3 vote.
President Steve Winterstein, Vice President Lisa Kovac, Donna Tyler, Kenneth Loucks and Steve Burns voted for Boyer while Chris McCartney, Jeff Nycum and Robert Fisher voted for Luensmann.
McCartney, Nycum and Luensmann conducted a write-in campaign for the board prior to the fall election in which Boyer and fellow incumbent Chris Riddle were ousted.
Boyer said he was pleased to return to the board, while Luensmann didn't wish to comment on the results.
"I feel I can make a positive impact by being a board member," Boyer said.
Before the vote, Winterstein said the board had two excellent candidates.
"I would encourage the other to run in the next election and stay involved. I think you are both worthy candidates and are the kind of folks we would like to see on the board," Winterstein said.
Mirror Staff Writer Walt Frank is at 946-7467.

Sony Xperia Z1f outsells iPhone in Japan, gets compared to Apple's bread and butter
0. phoneArena 27 Dec 2013, 07:02 posted on
The Sony Xperia Z1f, the 'mini' reincarnation of the Sony Xperia Z1 flagship, is already on sale in Japan, and has quickly climbed to the top of the charts…
This is a discussion for a news. To read the whole news, click here
1. casualavi (Posts: 48; Member since: 02 Oct 2013)
I find the Xperia design more appealing (Esp. when my eyes go to its lock screen..) :3
4. PapaSmurf (Posts: 10456; Member since: 14 May 2012)
I prefer the iPhone 5S design. The Z1f is still a beastly phone though.
9. itsdeepak4u2000 (Posts: 3718; Member since: 03 Nov 2012)
Japanese knows very well which phone is best. :)
15. XperiaFanZone (Posts: 2112; Member since: 21 Sep 2012)
There is no "best" phone. A ton iPhones were in the top ten most selling phones in Japan.
21. PapaSmurf (Posts: 10456; Member since: 14 May 2012)
Thank you for understanding user preferences.
27. donfem (Posts: 646; Member since: 30 Mar 2011)
Unfortunately, "user preferences" is purpotedly to be the only or "best" choice on phonearena.
39. Finalflash (Posts: 3087; Member since: 23 Jul 2013)
See, small phones win in Japan easily because of smaller hands in general. It's ergonomics all the way since big phones are useless if you can't use them.
11. InspectorGadget80 (unregistered)
Not to mention its water proof when you have to pay a arm n leg to buy a crappy 79$ waterproof case for iPhone. I still love my Z1 with its beautiful triluminous display/water proof phone
2. hafini_27 (Posts: 888; Member since: 31 Oct 2013)
The only "mini" i would buy.
3. milanmahat (Posts: 13; Member since: 01 Oct 2013)
wow...simply brilliant sony
35. dratomic (Posts: 483; Member since: 09 Oct 2013)
this happened because sony understood the need for a normal size beast phone
5. fireblade (Posts: 716; Member since: 27 Dec 2013)
This is the boss of all mini. Or simply call it mini beast
12. itsjustJOH (Posts: 232; Member since: 18 Oct 2012)
Even the boss of the iPhone.
6. ArtSim98 (Posts: 3535; Member since: 21 Dec 2012)
I would like to see that yellow colour on Sony's next flagship!
7. Akfred (banned) (Posts: 76; Member since: 08 Nov 2012)
This should be the best Android mini ever, both in design and
In quality.
8. fouadqr (Posts: 326; Member since: 21 Nov 2012)
That Display -_- !!!
10. InspectorGadget80 (unregistered)
One of the best phones on the market plus its less expensive than the iPhone.

Bezel King! just kidding
33. emadshiny (Posts: 1144; Member since: 05 Dec 2012)
Sony's 4.3 inch phone has the same size of Apple's 4 inch one.
Now tell me who is the "Bezel King"?
37. InspectorGadget80 (unregistered)
Talking bout thinnest not screen size
38. pwnarena (Posts: 1129; Member since: 15 Feb 2013)
how do you identify bezels?
the xperia zf has a larger display and a bigger battery
43. iluvsonynokia (Posts: 144; Member since: 27 Aug 2013)
water resistance make it thick
14. pwnarena (Posts: 1129; Member since: 15 Feb 2013)
the recent conflict with china may have ignited japanese nationalism.
16. .KRATOS. (Posts: 317; Member since: 15 Mar 2013)
Hope it will be released internationally with 4.4 kitkat.

"Thus began the age of mini smartphones"
18. boosook (Posts: 1436; Member since: 19 Nov 2012)
So it took 8 years for an Adroid manufacturer to understand that all they had to do was... an Android phone that is just like the iphone, and this means just 4 things:
- smooth
- not too big
- very good camera
- good design and materials
So easy... that's what most people want.
Yet we had to wait 8 years.
22. PapaSmurf (Posts: 10456; Member since: 14 May 2012)
Eight years dates back to 2005.. You mean six, which is 2007 when Apple released the first iPhone?
24. boosook (Posts: 1436; Member since: 19 Nov 2012)
All right, six years is a long time anyway! :)
23. XperiaFanZone (Posts: 2112; Member since: 21 Sep 2012)
No. Only you had to wait 8 years. Not many Android OEMs had the mini variant developed that time. And it hasn't even been 6 years since the first Android phone. No Android phone is "just like the iphone".
You might want to work on that list again. There's more to a mini.
26. boosook (Posts: 1436; Member since: 19 Nov 2012)
All right, six years, not eight. Now please tell me an Android phone that can be compared with the iPhone, meaning that it has more or less the same size (so please don't tell me that the GS4/G2/One/Nexus/Whatever is even better than the iPhone, I don't care, I want something with the same size or only sligthly larger), a camera with the same quality (at least), it's smooth as the iphone (well, more or less...) and has a premium feel like the iphone. This is the first device I see in the Android world that has all these four features.
28. XperiaFanZone (Posts: 2112; Member since: 21 Sep 2012)
Xperia P and Huawei Honor, maybe.
31. boosook (Posts: 1436; Member since: 19 Nov 2012)
Nope. Xperia P is what probably came closer, but it had a very small battery. The battery was so small that it can be considered a design flaw IMO. And performance wasn't so good either. Let's say it was a nice try, but with too many flaws, though the camera was really good.
The Honor... well, I wasn't considering Chinese manufacturers. Maybe the Ascend P6, then. But not the Honor! The design is ugly and the materials are cheap. But currently no Chinese manufacturer IMO can have the allure of well-known brands like Apple, Sony etc. So at the moment ZTE, Huawei and friends cannot compete with the iphone no matter how good their phones are. Eventually it will happen... think about Samsung: 10 years ago, it was just Sony's bad copy, and people bought Samsung because it was cheaper. Like Huawei today. In the future, who knows...
47. ElScorcho (Posts: 21; Member since: 17 Jul 2013)
I don't agree w/ your statement which mixes the 6 years of competition Andro/iOS and the very recent trend of size increase.
In early 2011 I got the HTC desire S (i still use as main phone, to be changed soon though).
This phone had the 2010 high end specs inside, and premium construction (unibody aluminium, SD card, reovable battery).
At the time the current iOS device was iPhone4 and the dimensions/performances of both were much similar.
difference was that the phone functionality worked on Desire S whatever the way you hold your device :-)
44. 8logic (Posts: 148; Member since: 05 Mar 2012)
if people don't like big phone, than why are the note selling so well and why is fruit making their own phablet? why did the icrap got bigger?
45. yudi.nemesis (Posts: 1127; Member since: 14 Mar 2013)
iphone beat all note series in terms of sales.
48. ElScorcho (Posts: 21; Member since: 17 Jul 2013)
Could anyone imagine that not 100% of people have identical wishes ?
Could we imagine that Note is selling well because many people like big phones, and that iPhone sells well also because many people (not the same, you got me?) like smaller ones?
Is it hard to understand?
49. yudi.nemesis (Posts: 1127; Member since: 14 Mar 2013)
I understand with all the things you said, but I think you have to accept the fact that there are in the world today.
Phone with a reasonable size(iphone, s3, and s4) have better sales results than the oversized phone(Phablets). in other words the more people who like a phone with a reasonable size compared oversized phone.
19. SonyPS4 (Posts: 344; Member since: 21 May 2013)
It seems Japanese prefer smaller smartphone. Only Apple and Sony so far release small high end smartphone. Xperia ZR outsell Xperia Z by large margin and now Z1f also doing better than Z1. Phablet like Z Ultra, Note 3 never did well in Japan.
29. starkiller306 (Posts: 58; Member since: 13 Nov 2013)
finally someone mentions the ZR :D it was also kind of a mini, though not really much smaller than a Z but it had the same philosophy as the Z1 mini.
20. Loubielou (Posts: 508; Member since: 11 Jul 2012)
Apple must realise that the Screens on the iPhones needs to match the length as they are to small an spoils the look of the phones,the Sony Z1F is what the screen on the iPhone5s should be alot wider than thinner
25. yudi.nemesis (Posts: 1127; Member since: 14 Mar 2013)
Hey Sony hurry up launches the international version of Z1f!!! Because I want it and I'm sure a lot of people in the world who prefer a compact and powerful smartphone in comparison with oversized smartphone.
And if you can, please replace the screen with WhiteMagic display. So i can get superior outdoor visibility and longer battery life.
30. Taters (banned) (Posts: 6474; Member since: 28 Jan 2013)
I think the phone would have looked a lot better if it looked like a mini version of the Xperia Z rather than the Z1.
That metal frame is not only completely unnecessary, it makes the phone look a lot bulkier and less sleek than it could have been.
41. pwnarena (Posts: 1129; Member since: 15 Feb 2013)
but that frame makes the device more resistant to breaking when dropped. if the z1 does not break after being dropped (android authority test), this device will surely be more resistant to damage as it is smaller and lighter.
32. JerryTime (Posts: 468; Member since: 09 Nov 2013)
I'm all about seeing Apple lose a battle against another company, but it's not really that uncommon to see a Japanese product outsell an American(designed def not made)one in Japan.
34. GeekMovement (Posts: 2156; Member since: 09 Sep 2011)
Beautiful device. I'd consider getting one if it comes to the states. Wow.
36. JerryTime (Posts: 468; Member since: 09 Nov 2013)
I couldn't agree more.
40. pwnarena (Posts: 1129; Member since: 15 Feb 2013)
it's considered a mini when it's about the same size as the flagship galaxy sII some years ago.
it's not really a mini. it's just an effort to resist the trend of large display phones.
42. zachattack (Posts: 621; Member since: 31 Jul 2013)
Won't come to verizon so I DON'T GIVE A F. It's the only phone that might be able to match the G2 in battery life / performance. I would buy one if i could see it on verizon but no sony products ever come to verizon. This or a nexus device. I would even be tempted to buy a nexus 7 and use it on Verizon. I bought my dad a nexus 7 this christmas and damn thing is buttery smooth, it's keyboards rapes my G2's keyboard sadly also. I was like dayum... stock android be tight yo

"I had one Snowshoe that liked playing with water so much he'd stand on top of the bottle to knock it out of the container," says Mary Schlagel, an Illinois-based Snowshoe breeder since 1989. "He'd get two liters out of the container so that he could splash. I finally gave up on that thing — not him, but the bubbler."Schlagel's mischievous cat embodies two of the Snowshoe's most charming traits: a fondness for play and a love of water. If the cat can combine the two, so much the better.Snowshoes also enjoy things that fly in the air, according to Lynne Pilny of Georgia, who, along with her husband, Jim, has bred Snowshoes for about 15 years. "They also love little fuzzy balls because they can carry them in their mouths," she says. "They dunk all their toys, then they'll dig them out of the water bowl and come and put them on your lap."
Barbara Roth, a California-based Snowshoe breeder for 10 years, adds this caution: "You have to learn to keep the lid down on your toilets, or they will play in them and drown their toys."**For the full article, pick up the December issue of CAT FANCY**Did you like this excerpt?

Glad to find it. Not much info available on the snowshoe water thing. We have same problem with the water dispenser, what a mess. Diva was dumped in our yard and we love her. We have a grey tabby and a black cat too. Problem is, Diva makes it difficult for water to be available to the other cats and herself because she wants to dump the dispenser and watch the fun...for her. Any suggestions, I've had to abandon the water dispenser. Susan in Washington

I loved the article! I saw it in my veterinarian's waiting room and when I showed it to him (he's the vet for my 4 purebred Snowshoes), he said "Go ahead, take it." The statement that Snowshoes get up in the morning with an agenda is so true! My three young Snowshoes, 3 years and two 1 year olds--all full brothers--all wake up with an agenda. The boys are always in the same room that we are. They are all loving. They are clowns. They are busy. They are creative. And they go straight to your heart as kindred spirits.

I have a wonderful Snowshoe Siamese male, Chai, that was rescued and adopted as a stray (Lucky me!)and have tried without success to buy the December issue of Cat Fancy. A friend told me about this issue, which she discovered in her vet's waiting room, that has a special feature on Snowshoes. After checking just about every store in the county that I can think of, I decided to try your web site. Can I order this special issue online? Then I will happily subscribe so I can receive every monthly issue! Thank you!

Awful ReportingSubmitted by Rob G. on Mon, 05/19/2008 - 4:38pm
From this morning's Tribune and Steve Rosenbloom...
If you're rating the last 10 games for each team, the Sox get more style points than the Cubs. Sure, the Cubs went 8-2 while the Sox went 7-3, but the Sox did that on the West Coast, while the Cubs were at home.
Sure, the Cubs played better, won more games, faced teams with a higher combined winning percentage (.488 to .455) and outscored their opponents by a wider margin (+27 to +13), but the White Sox did it while they were sleeping with their road groupies and the Cubs players got to sleep in their own beds. That makes all the difference in the world...because this is the NBA all of a sudden.
The Sox also did it against the one good team that either team
played, the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim of Orange County of
California of the United States of the Northern Hemisphere of Earth,
Haha, see what Steve did there? He took a joke that's three years old and recycled it.
coming back in the last two games to get a split.
Wow, the White Sox split a four-game series on the road versus a good team that just got back its best starter for that series and is still missing Kelvim Escobar, Howie Kendrick and Chone Figgins. That's incredible work there by the White Sox. I mean they managed to play .500 baseball versus a depleted team. Print up the playoff tickets for winning 5 of 6 against two teams with winning percentages at or below .400.
To be fair, The Cubs did play against some lightweights in the last series, the just-below .500 Pirates, the woeful Padres and the Diamondbacks, who just happen to have the best record in baseball.

Symposium: Limited Liability Companies at 20: An Introduction

Suffolk University Law Review, Vol. 42, p. 455, 2009
Suffolk University Law School Research Paper No. 09-14
Twenty years ago the release of Revenue Ruling 88-76 planted a seed of business entity revolution never before seen in the history of America. Nearly ten years later the infamous "check-the-box" regulations fueled the revolution by regarding all unincorporated entities as partnerships or disregarded entities, depending on the number of owners. This Symposium examines that history and its future.

NeNe Leakes attempted to organize a girls trip to Savannah, Ga., on Sunday's The Real Housewives of Atlanta, but was fuming after the ladies arrived hours late to the bus – and with a lot of (personal) baggage.
"Being late is not proper," Leakes, 45, said to Porsha Stewart, who arrived two hours late but still ahead of Kandi Burruss and Phaedra Parks.
"Who's late?" questioned Stewart, 31.
"You're late b––––," Leakes responded. "Don't disrespect all my hard efforts."
Kenya Moore, who was one of the first to arrive and took it upon herself to serve as Leakes' gate – and timekeeper, flipped out when Burruss finally arrived and admitted she had stopped to eat lunch.
"We all know that girl can afford to miss a meal or two," Moore, 42, said. "Or three, or four or five … anyway, I digress."
Moore continued her attack when the wives boarded the bus to Savannah, after a furious Leakes nearly skipped the trip altogether.
But Burruss, 37, told Moore to step down, just like she did with her mother after the shoe-tossing bridal shop fight last week between Momma Joyce and Burruss's best friend, Carmon.
"I felt like you took sides," Momma Joyce said to her daughter when the two sat down face-to-face before Burruss left for Savannah. "You chose Carmon over me."
"You act like a victim," Burruss said. "She been my friend for over 25 years."
"She best stay away from me," Momma Joyce stated. "After today … I'm through with you."
"By the time you was my age you were married three times," Burruss countered, which seemed to soften her mother – at least a little.
"I have decided to wash my hands of your relationship," she said. "If Todd make you happy, I'm happy."
But Momma Joyce was anything but when she secretly met with Parks to seek legal advice about her daughter's fiancé Todd Tucker; the attorney wasn't biting.
"I knew Todd was the perfect guy for her," Parks, 40, told Momma Joyce.
"He's short. He got a big head. Kandi's short and got a big head," said Momma Joyce. "You don't introduce two short people with big heads … I think he's an opportunist."
"Todd makes good money," Parks responded. "I think he's the one."
"That's why I could choke you right now," Momma Joyce retorted.
The Real Housewives of Atlanta airs Sundays (8 p.m. ET) on Bravo.
