Democrats line up to challenge Corbett for Pa. gov
HARRISBURG -- Sensing an opportunity to limit Gov. Tom Corbett to one term, six Democrats have declared their candidacy for the 2014 primary, and three more are giving it serious thought.
They are bucking history, since no sitting governor has lost a bid for a second term in the nearly 40 years since governors have been permitted to seek re-election.
But Corbett, a Republican, is widely viewed as vulnerable, and the governorship is the only statewide office on the ballot.
"This is the marquee race in our state," said Elena Cross, executive director of the Pennsylvania Democratic Party. "This is our primary concern. We've built our structure around making sure that we're holding Tom Corbett accountable."
As Labor Day weekend unofficially heralds the 2014 campaign season, Corbett's administration is in disarray, his political future cloudy.
A Franklin & Marshall College poll released Thursday showed only 20 percent of voters -- and only 38 percent of Republicans -- believe Corbett deserves another term. The survey of 594 voters was sponsored by several news organizations.
None of Corbett's major initiatives -- new taxes to bolster transportation projects, prospective rollbacks in public pension benefits and the privatization of state-controlled liquor and wine sales -- got majority support despite Republican control in both houses.
Turnover among Corbett's top advisers has been steady since he took office in 2011. His longtime spokesman recently stepped down as part of an overhaul of his communications shop, and his nominee for education secretary was dismissed.
Most of the Democrats running in the May 20 primary -- or thinking about it -- have high-level experience in state government.
Contenders include U.S. Rep. Allyson Schwartz, former state revenue secretary Tom Wolf and two former environmental protection secretaries who served in Gov. Ed Rendell's administration, Katie McGinty and John Hanger.
Two of the undeclared hopefuls have won statewide campaigns: state Treasurer Rob McCord, who has formed a campaign committee that lets him raise money, and former state Auditor General Jack Wagner, a Pittsburgh resident who lost this year in that city's mayoral primary.
Other declared candidates are Pentecostal minister Max Myers and Lebanon County Commissioner Jo Ellen Litz. State Sen. Mike Stack, of Philadelphia, has said he is considering running.
"This is an incredibly strong field," said Terry Madonna, the Franklin & Marshall pollster who oversaw the recent survey.
The Democratic State Committee meets Feb. 8 to endorse its primary favorite, something that requires a two-thirds majority vote -- a tall order even for a popular candidate.
On websites and in public appearances, the candidates are working to define themselves apart from the pack.
Christopher Borick, a pollster and political scientist at Muhlenberg College, said the absence of a clear front-runner could result in "a very muddled war of attrition" among Democrats.

Manta 7000 Headphones
"So, first of all you might be wondering why even bother reviewing a headphone that nobody knows about, has ever heard of, and most likely will never own or see in real life? Simply put, I think that this headphone deserves it. There are many of the 70's Pioneer clones, so it's good to give people an idea about them if there is any interest. Pros: - Aesthetics and construction are..." --GREQ

Besides higher power the Black Pearl has got another advantage over...

- AMD Radeon HD 6310

About what I expected 01/27/2013
This review is from: Foxconn NTA350-0H0W-B-A-NA AMD A45 (Hudson D1) 1 x 204Pin SO-DIMM AMD Radeon HD 6310 Black Mini / Booksize Barebone System
Price, size and capability were all factors in my purchase. I got this for a good deal and run OpenElec on it as a HTPC. It handles playing all of the video I have thrown at it and boot up time is great, even with a traditional HDD in it.
Wifi reception on the unit isn't great, I get a better signal with other machines in the same location. It does get hot, but I haven't had any overheating problems.
Other Thoughts:
For what I got it for, a low usage HTPC, it is great and I'd certainly recommend it for something equally light duty.

At Madison's Forequarter, a small space with big ideas
No sign per se hangs outside the restaurant Forequarter. All you need to do, though, is look for the warm glow from the dining room, spilling out onto E. Johnson St. in Madison. You'll want to go inside, intuitively.
Inside the tiny and often crowded restaurant, trays of growing sprouts are suspended from the wall at the bar, and a bear trophy hangs high on another wall. Intended as a neighborhood restaurant, Forequarter has just 16 seats at tables here, another dozen at the bar, and a few spots for standing with a drink while waiting for seats to open. (Overflow guests wait at nearby bars until a text message alerts them to open seats.) »Read Full Article(2)

Our members include farmers, processors, orchardists, commercial growers and home gardeners.
We aim to produce healthy soil, vigorous plants and nutritious food for humans and animals.
Biodynamics ("biological-dynamics") is a method of organic agriculture that can be applied to any farm, garden or horticultural enterprise by following a series of practical steps. It is based on the teachings of scientist and philosopher, Rudolf Steiner.
The New Zealand Bio Dynamic Farming and Gardening Association (Inc) is a membership-based organisation promoting biodynamic methods. We're passionate about the quality of our food, the welfare of our animals and responsible stewardship of our environment.
Here you'll find examples of our publications (including the New Zealand Bio Dynamic Farming and Gardening Calendar), submissions we've made to government and links to useful sources of information about biodynamics from around the world.
Biodynamics is a systems approach, where the farm, vineyard, orchard or garden is viewed as a living whole and each activity affects everything else. Management is based on the grower's own careful observations, plus the results of tests and analyses. In this way, modern technology and traditional knowledge marry to form a highly-effective method that's unique to each location.
What are the advantages?
Biodynamics uses very limited external inputs and re-uses most on-farm waste, so it has a low impact on the environment. It also provides an economical way of farming because most of the costs are met at the time they are incurred.
One of the most easily-seen and dramatic benefits of biodynamic practice is the exceptional quality of the produce: flavour, appearance and keeping quality are all enhanced.
The international trademark Demeter is your guarantee that produce is grown biodynamically.

The gold markets rose during the session as we have found $1750 to be supportive. Nonetheless, this market is overextended by any stretch of imagination and we are hoping to see some type of pullback in the near-term so that we can continue to buy gold.
Looking forward, we think the gold market is bullish as long as we stay above the $1640 level. We see plenty of support at the $1740 level, and at roughly the $1700 level as well. If we managed to break above the $1750 level, it would look like resistance has crumbled yet again and we are going higher. Nonetheless, we do prefer buying gold on dips overall as we think eventually gold will hit and least $2000 an ounce.

- In "Countdown to Infinite Crisis," the Blue Beetle kneels in front of Max Lord during his We Can Rule Together speech with a gun to his head. His reply? "Rot in hell, Max." Max shoots him.
- Issue #24 of the new Blue Beetle series: In an Internal Homage to the scene above, the Reach Negotiatior has Jaime Reyes, without his armor, on his knees with a gun to his head. "Do you have any last words?" "Just two... Khaji Da!" (The original Blue Beetle's Power-Up Phrase) Then again, Issues #24 and #25 are arguably a collective Crowning Moment of Awesome for the entire cast.
- I changed my mind. All four issue of End Game were Crowning Moments of Awesome for everybody involved. Including the creative team, guest stars, and even the Scarab.
- Then good news. I found them. The CMOA for just about EVERYBODY.
- Issue #24 of the new Blue Beetle series: In an Internal Homage to the scene above, the Reach Negotiatior has Jaime Reyes, without his armor, on his knees with a gun to his head. "Do you have any last words?" "Just two... Khaji Da!" (The original Blue Beetle's Power-Up Phrase) Then again, Issues #24 and #25 are arguably a collective Crowning Moment of Awesome for the entire cast.
- Infinite Crisis provides MANY a Crowning Moment of Awesome for a number of characters, that whole giant event. There's Tim Drake, the 3rd Robin, who POINTS AND YELLS AT SUPERMAN! It's even lampshaded. Then there's Bart Allen, who beats the living daylights out of Superboy-Prime AFTER he escapes from the Speed Force, taunting him by asking "Still got Flash-phobia?" There's also the two Supermen, who fly Superboy-Prime THROUGH A FIELD OF KRYPTONITE, a Red Sun (weakening ALL THREE OF THEM), and eventually knocking him out, not to mention the wall of pure willpower the Green Lanterns used to slow him down. And let's not forget to mention our good Kon-El, aka Superboy's sacrifice to save not only Earth, but the UNIVERSE, in which he flies himself and Superboy-Prime into Alexander Luthor Jr.'s universe-control tower, killing himself and wounding Superboy-Prime in the process.
- Not to mention Batman's line to Superman: "The last time you inspired someone is when you were dead."
- Superman's line to Earth-2's Kal-L: " If you're from this world, it couldn't be perfect. Because a perfect world doesn't need Superman."
- The reappearance of Kal-L. He sets upon the villains who just took down Power Girl and scatters them like ten-pins. And with every second, the red sky grows brighter, until he's shown in a full-page spread, extending his hand to Power Girl against a sky of clearest blue.
- And Kid Flash's team-up with his late grandfather (not to mention Max Mercury) to trap Superboy-Prime in the Speed Force to begin with. Also couples as a Tear Jerker.
Flash II: "Wally's waiting for you, Bart."Max Mercury: "Don't be afraid."Kid Flash II: "I'm not, Max. Let's go." *shoves Superboy-Prime into the Speed Force*
- In the subject of the final battle against Superboy-Prime, don't forget how the three Supermen got powerless after falling in Mogo. With a ton of Kryptonite. Prime punched Kal-L and hit his back with heat vision, then fought against Kal-El, the main universe Superman. Who promptly kicked Prime's ass. In a field full of Kryptonite which only affected Kal-El himself. All while verbally beating Prime up.
You'll never be Superman. Because you have no idea what it means to be Superman. It's not about where you were born. Or what powers you have. Or what you wear on your chest. It's about what you do... it's about action.
- Don't forget about Black Adam single handedly killing the Psycho Pirate by tearing off his face.
"Psycho Pirate: Black Adam, you're afraid, you're very afrai-Black Adam: No more silly faces"
- There's also the Spectre's resurrection. When he is resurrected, he ignores the Phantom Stranger, and instead looks at the Star Sapphire. After listing her many crimes, he simply blows her up and leaves.
- Barry Allen's death in Crisis on Infinite Earths: There's hope... there is always hope... Time to save the world! Time... back in time... Do what you have to... we must save the world... we must save the world. Also a first-class Tear Jerker.
- To elaborate, he's running to destroy the Anti-Monitor's antimatter cannon, which was poised to destroy all remaining universes. He fought on, and on, and on, running as he ruined the cannon's systems... until he ran himself out of existence... and into it, as he became the lightning that first empowered him.
- Crisis on Infinite Earths was full of this. Highlights(including Barry's sacrifice) include:
- The Crime Syndicate of Earth-3 making their last stand against their universe's destruction, trying to save their world for the first/last time. The sheer Villainous Valor in their last moments is truly a sight to behold. Especially Ultraman, who defiantly flies right into the World-Wrecking Wave with a smile.
- Pre-Crisis Supergirl pounding the near-omnipotent Anti-Monitor to near-death, forcing him to flee. Also counts as one heck of a Dying Moment of Awesome
- The Anti-Monitor has reached the dawn of time and siphoned the power of Earth's heroes, where he's poised to destroy creation, and sarcastically asks who dares oppose him... The Spectre dares, empowered by Earth's magicians! The Spectre manages to stop the Anti-Monitor. Physical God or not, that's very impressive.
- The Anti-Monitor has been burned, pounded, poisoned and thrown into a star, yet is still going as a colossal, screaming, living fireball of death. Just before he can cause any more damage, Earth-2 Superman flies in and blasts him into oblivion, yelling I HAVE HAD ENOUGH! Not even yelling I AM A MAN! could compare to that.
- Hal Jordan's confrontation with Mongul in The Return of Superman, after Mongul nuked Coast City and turned it into a giant engine so he and the Cyborg/Hank Henshaw can make Earth the new Warworld. Since Mongul is yellow, Hal can't just vaporize him. Solution? Take Steel's hammer and do what comes naturally.
- This comes after Mongul has given Hal a massive beatdown and broken his arm and leg. He boasts that he broke Hal's willpower, at which point Hal uses his ring to create a power suit for himself and reaches for the hammer.
- Grant Morrison's Seven Soldiers of Victory event pulled off a doozy - take seven characters we'd never heard of (and may never see again), and over four issues make us care about them, then pit them against an army of time-travelling killer fairies. Naturally, there were a few moments...
- Shining Knight (after beheading Zombie Sir Galahad) -
"Red am I in battle. Red the ravens that follow me at my heels. Gloriana, I am your death."
- Zatanna -
"Yield, you omnipotent son-of-a-bitch! DLEIY!"
- Her father, Zatara, even got one when his magnum opus was revealed.
- Manhattan Guardian (when faced with the news that NY will suffer a blackout and an invasion in the middle of a bloody hurricane) -
"Call out the Newsboys, Ed. We're taking it to the streets."
- Frankenstein got more than most. He... well, he fed one of the main series villains to the Flesh-Eating Horses of Mars. He did a Power Walk while a nuclear device went off in the background. He stabbed a universe in the chest. And then he somehow traveled to the year One Billion to commit a giant terrorist bombing against the world-destroying fairies.
"All in a day's work... for FRANKENSTEIN!"
- Special mention to how he deals with said world-destroying fairies. Their queen gives a long speech about how their brand of evil is totally justified and how they will ravage the Earth. Frankenstein's response before he blows up the fleet is probably one of the best cases of Shut Up, Hannibal! ever:
- I, Spyder (during his HeelFace Turn when he puts an arrow through the Big Bad's neck and punts her off a balcony)
"Pinnacle of natural selection, my ass."
- The city of New York gets one:
"This is the story of humanity's last stand... and of the brave men and women of this city, who stood together and proclaimed, "LAST STAND? WE DON'T THINK SO!"
- Bulleteer's You Can't Fight Fate moment counts as a Crowning Moment of Awesome for causality and prophecy itself. (Seriously, killing the time-traveling villain by knocking her off a balcony and then having her accidentally run over? Magnificent.)
- Mister Miracle escaped from the event horizon of a black hole. He shrugged off the Anti-Life Equation like it was Red Kryptonite. He befriended the Omega Sanction. And then he did a deal with Darkseid - MM gets put in a trap, and Darkseid calls off the impending apocalypse. Miracle was just that sure of his escape artistry. The trap consisted of him getting handcuffed, bound, shackled, shot in the head, and buried. He still managed to escape. World's Greatest Escape Artist? Oh hell yes.
- Shining Knight (after beheading Zombie Sir Galahad) -
- Captain Atom #50 is pretty much one Crowning Moment of Awesome after another. First, when Plastique defeats the Cambodian by tossing a grenade inside his indestructible armor, and then, after he manages to strip off his armor in record time, she tells him "Guess I forgot to pull the pin." Then she hits him over the head with a rock.
- Doctor Megala gets one too, albeit posthumously: "Wade Eiling wears combat boots."
- This is immediately followed by Cap getting his own moment, when he finally comes clean with the American public. It becomes a Crowning Moment of Heartwarming when Plastique finally agrees to marry him.
- Captain Atom also gets a whole bunch in Captain Atom: Armageddon, but one deserves special mention: When Jack Hawksmoor sends Batman and Superman pastiches Midnighter and Apollo to kill Cap, Cap tricks Apollo into flying too close to the sun so as to get enough power to finish Cap off quickly, only to then be given a near fatal dose of energy when Cap accelerates the reaction. The two of them then get back to earth just in time for Cap to save Nikola and Grifter by using Apollo's unconscious body to knock out Midnighter. At which point Grifter says: "That was surprisingly easy."
- Lex Luthor has one in Outsiders v3 #3. The Joker captures and tortures him at length for information. Finally Luthor offers to answer the Joker, but first he has a question of his own: "Does it bother you...that Batman likes Catwoman better?" Having left Joker stung and speechless (a rare occurrence), Luthor lets out an Evil Laugh and continues, "He'll never love you, sweetheart! You can keep screwing with his city, but he's never gonna take you to the prom!"
- When surrounded by a vast army of super-villains-
Batman: Do you think we can take them? I think we can take them.Superman: You always think we can take them.
- And they do.
- Lord Havok gets so many... first, his revenge against his father, the Czar, for forsaking him and killing his mother. He kills his father in cold blood, saying, "You see, father, I can take, too.", before destroying his homeland so completely that the Motherland would be forever barren and lifeless from then on.
- And, of course, his victory against the Americommando.
- Then he defeated the Monarch singlehandedly before setting his sights on other earths to conquer.
- And, of course, his victory against the Americommando.
- In Countdown to Final Crisis, Pied Piper, known the best for being Flash's ex-villain gay friend, endured weeks of being on the run from every superhero in the USA while chained to another guy, the death of his best friend (who happened to be the same guy), and having to trot through the desert carrying the friend's rotting corpse, only to find out that all of this was staged by the sadistic Desaad to break his spirit and force him to play the Anti-Life Equation on his flute. Piper's answer? Playing The Show Must Go On by Queen and, as a result, blowing up the entire planet of Apokolips. Music almighty like WHOA.
- Final Crisis: Legion of Three Worlds: Superboy Prime finds himself in the Superman Museum of the 31st century, and discovers that history remembers him as a no-name scrub who, as Superman villains go, is less notable than losers like Neutron. Then he goes to The Alcatraz prison planet where the Legion of Super Villains is held and breaks them out, vowing to show the world who the real Superboy is one more time. You know why it's awesome? Because Superboy Prime is the villain and it's actually not dumb. What's more, you actually kind of root for him.
- Nah, you want villains to root for? Then go read Final Crisis: Rogues' Revenge. It's a crowning series of awesome, especially issue #3. Highlights: the Rogues beating the crap of the "replacements" Libra recruited, Inertia going holyshitcrazy/removing Zoom's powers/actually managing to hurt Libra (the freaking SPECTRE literally hurt himself badly after trying to touch him), and of course, his getting wtfpwned by the Rogues.
Heat Wave: This isn't for Kid Flash.Weather Wizard: This isn't for my son.Captain Cold: No. This is for one $%@#$@-up year.The Rogues blast Inertia with their weapons, killing him.
- Final Crisis: Superman Beyond is one big crowning moment for Superman, particularly the battle with Mandrakk, but there's also Billy Batson verbally pwning Overman, and Merryman's "LIMBO SAYS NO!".
- Some crowning moments from Final Crisis itself:
- Green Arrow versus the Justifiers in issue #4:
Justifier: Destroy! Anti-Life justifies our actions!Green Arrow: Is that so? Well, my absolute hatred of dog ridin' totalitarian [censored] justifies this!
- Barry Allen, the original Flash, returning home to Iris West, the love of his life, and doing the impossible by breaking Darkseid's Anti-Life hold on her.
Iris Barry? Oh, God... Everything's going to be okay now, isn't it?Barry: You bet.
- Issue #5: Nix Uotan's apotheosis.
Most Excellent Superbat: You have thoughtlessly gunned down a global megastar! How will you explain yourselves to this man's fans?
- Hal Jordan takes down a GOD with one punch. Without even having his ring on him.
- "You have 24 hours to save the universe.".
- Also:
- Issue #6: Superman's arrival in Bludhaven.
- Tawky Tawny versus Darkseid's son Kalibak. "TAWNY BITES!"
- A close second is Tawky straightening his bow tie as he awaits his death at the hands of Kalibak's tiger soldiers... only to see them bow to him.
- If there's ONE thing Final Crisis did right, it was that they made Tawky Tawny AWESOME.
- Batman's decision to forgo his morals for the sake of the multiverse and uses Darkseid's own radion bullet to shoot Darkseid in the shoulder. This is the catalyst that allows the Flashes to lure the Black Racer to destroy Darkseid's physical body. Batman poisoned A GOD on the verge of total multiversal destruction as a swan song to his illustrious career. Bad. Ass.
- Issue #7: The arrival of the Supermen of the Multiverse.
- The climactic battle where Monitor Nix Uotan restores the humanity and powers of the Zoo Crew. There is just something so gratifying in seeing these characters who seemed all but thrown into DC's trash can at the horrific editor-imposed ending of their mini-series suddenly rescued out of the blue and placed front and center alongside the greatest of the DCU's heroes.
- Let's just say that damn near everyone has had a crowning moment of awesome in FC or its spin offs.
- Green Arrow versus the Justifiers in issue #4:
- Tim Drake got one in the last issue of his solo series. In it, he gets a note challenging him to a duel to the death from Lady Shiva, the woman who trained him and the single deadliest assassin in the world. He spends the issue narrating about "What would you do if you might die tomorrow?" before confronting her. They banter a bit, there's a Single-Stroke Battle, and Tim has three broken ribs, and is stumbling, while Shiva stands confidently. Then, Tim stands back up and Shiva collapses. Tim reveals that he knew she was coming before she ever left Hong Kong, and he spiked the hotel chocolates that Shiva was seen eating while she was writing the note with a paralytic poison, activated by a rising heart rate. Batman is a hell of a good teacher, it seems.
- At the conclusion of the Crossfire Arc, the city of Keystone is being looted by Rogues under Blacksmith's control. Flash is on the ropes. The villainess tells him she's pulling out every stop and throwing ever single villain in her organisation at him, and that he doesn't have the stamina to take it. The next page is a splash of the blue-collar workers of Keystone charging the rioters en masse with bats, lead pipes, nail guns, etc as Union leader Goldface shouts, "This is our city! We make it run, Rogues! Not you!" The whole city got a crowning moment right there.
- While it started off slow, The Flash: Rebirth is rapidly starting to pick up with these. The final third of issue 4 is an entire crowning moment in-and-of-itself. Let's start a list:
- Bart punching Professor Zoom in the face and ACTUALLY GAINING THE UPPER HAND FOR A MOMENT (if only a short one)◊; my personal favorite. Why? Cause that's a villainous ancestor he just punched out!
- "MAX?!"◊ The expression on Bart's face is adorable.note This is why a great deal of Impulse fangirls don't care about the Speed Force retcon, which overshadowed all other discussion - we just wanted our favorite characters back, and the creators delivered!
- "I'm back, Thawne. But this time it's on MY terms."◊
- Golden Age Flash and Kid Flash here to kick some ass!◊
- Suicide Squad #22: Rick Flag is going to kill a corrupt senator in full public view. Amanda Waller orders Deadshot to stop Flag from killing the senator by any means necessary. Deadshot kills the senator.
- The titular team, through the machinations of a lovestruck technician, a formerly amnesiac Ax-Crazy Blood Knight goddess, and Poison Ivy, got transported to Apokolips. They survived with very heavy casualties... and then they have to face Darkseid. Long before Batman did, Amanda Waller, infuriate, with half her squad dead, stranded without hope in Hell, surrounded by Parademons and the Fatal Furies, decided she had had enough, and threatened the God of Evil with her handgun.
- And of course, effortlessly brushing off Batman's warnings to shut down the Squad, sensibly pointing out that if he does go public with the info he gathered, so will she.
- The resurrection of the Squad. Amanda's been in jail for a year for pulling the lone wolf act for too long, having irritated too many people in power. Sarge Steel comes in, offers her a pittance and a diminutive job, a probably unique chance she won't ever have again. She laughs him off and asks him only to return when he really wants to negotiate. Turns out, there's a massive Eastern Europe crisis and Steel was trying to rope her in for her unique talents. He has to go back later and fully give in her terms, utterly humiliating himself.
- The Janus Directive crossover. Every governmental agency's at war with each other, with Checkmate, Captain Atom Project, and the Suicide Squad ready to tear each other apart. It's actually Kobra's plan so he can fire his microwave cannon unmolested. To ensure maximum disruption, he targets Waller for assassination by a double in her apartment. She kills the doppelganger, takes her place in Kobra's plans, and pulls the same gambit he was hoping to play.
- One night, Amanda was returning from her job at Belle Reve, on a moment her future was being jeopardized by a rogue subordinate and the aforementioned senator, having hallucinations and getting more irritable, and upon almost entering her apartment, she noted the matches she put on the door have been moved... it's her daughter. When the clearly irritated Waller asks why she was there, she began making a scene about how she got in a row with her husband. Waller then tried to convince her to got back more or less gently, and then said husband entered - a massive Scary Black Man. Amanda was not impressed. She then convinced them to go back together - by threatening to quit her job and go live with them. Having fixed the situation, she then realized she could deal with it all, and mentally dared her subordinate to try and take the Squad from her.
- And then she goes and finds the solution with a little gravedigging. Showing the evidence she'd fished up, said subordinate realized how badly screwed he was. Desperately, grasping at straws, he seriously considers killing her. Amanda tiredly invites him to try.
- Admit it. How many people can use the fact they're menopausic black females as threats? Amanda Waller can.
- Wildcat. Had. Sex. With. Queen. Hippolyta. AKA Wonder Woman's mom. Stifler, Finch, all you other horny bastards, bow down to your master.
- JSA #10: The rest of the team is off on a mission, with Wildcat staying at the mansion because he had his arm and both legs broken by an evil Time Lord. So, he's just taking a bath and having phone sex with Catwoman when the Injustice Society breaks in. Wildcat, an 80 year old badass normal in a bath towel with three broken limbs, takes out seven supervillains using his own knowledge of the mansion. This includes driving a motorcycle over two of them, and dropping an ancient Druid tree god down an elevator shaft. When the rest of the JSA gets back, they find him using a chunk of said ancient Druid tree god as a toothpick. (By the way, there's a decent chance that two of the aforementioned supervillains are his illegitimate children.)
- Issue 50 of The Warlord (first series) sees Travis Morgan pursuing his arch foe, Deimos, across frozen plains. Deimos has, over the first 49 issues of the series, caused absolute hell for Travis, culminating in forcing Travis to kill his own son or so Travis believes, but now Deimos is depowered and fleeing on horseback from the vengeance-crazed Travis. At the end of the chase, Travis finds Deimos unconscious and being savaged by a pack of wolves. Travis drives the wolves back, builds a fire to keep them away, and then tends Deimos' wounds. When Deimos finally recovers, Travis kicks out the fire and walks away without a word as the very same wolves return to tear Deimos apart.
- When Supergirl stands up to and defeats her absurdly powerful, abusive boyfriend, Powerboy.
(after Supergirl is brutally beaten up by Powerboy, including having her face dragged down the side of a skyscraper, she wakes up in a bed next to a Stalker Shrine devoted to her, bound in powerful, alien-tech restraints)Powerboy: "Look, I'm just going to lay it all out because honesty is important in a strong relationship... I was born on Apokolips. Taken from the Armagetto Slums to serve You-Know-Who... He made me strong, trained me in the ways of the Earth so I could come here as a "hero" and... Well, it doesn't really matter anymore, because it changed the the day you came to Apokolips. The most beautiful thing I had ever seen. Ever felt. From that moment, I knew I had found my "Missing Half". I knew we would be together. And then you left... I couldn't eat. Sleep. Think. I knew that my true destiny wasn't with Darkseid and his stupid plans... So I followed you across the universe. I watched you try so hard to fit in, to find your way. All I wanted to do was hold you. Tell you how beautiful you were. But I knew you weren't ready to hear it... Sometimes we have to fall all the way down before someone can lift us up. You could be something so special, Kara... But you're lost. You're lost and you're too weak to find your way alone. Whenever you try... the monster in you comes out. Is this what you what to be?" (cups her face) "You need someone to take care of you, Kara. Someone who loves you to build to up... To make you into something you can be proud of. I love you, Kara. We can be perfect together, if you'll just let me fix you."Supergirl: (destroys her restraints and burns his hand with heat vision) "We need to break up."Powerboy: "Aaaaaigh! What did you do?!"Supergirl: "You hit me. You said you loved me... And you hit me." (punches him through a wall to the outside)Powerboy: "Y-You made me hit you! Because you don't listen, like now! Kara! I'm warning you! Stop it or I'll do it again! I'll hurt you again! You can be happy if you just do what I tell you! I—" (Supergirl rips his house from its foundation and rises into the sky) "Kara, I love you. Don't you want someone take care of you!?"Supergirl: "No one who says he loves you should hit you, ever." (drops his house on him)Powerboy: (Flash Step into outer space, pulls out his Father Box) "Ouch. Heh... Heh... Got some fight to her... Gonna have to work on that... Next time... And there will be a next time. Try to drop a house on me now. Father Box... Honey..."Supergirl: (Flash Step up to him, knees him in the groin) "I out-flew Superman, "Honey". We're not done." (grabs him by the scruff of his neck) "I don't know if you can hear me, so read my lips... Don't call me. Don't talk to me. Don't look at me... Or I'll break every bone in your body."
- "I'm your friend."
- Day of Vengeance: A team of magical characters who are, at best C-Listers, channel all the magical power of multiple dimensions into Captain Marvel to allow him to beat The Spectre.
- From Secret Six: Catman's Roaring Rampage of Revenge on the kidnappers who took his son. Three of the most bloodthirsty hired killers around, two of them with superpowers versus a non-powered man only armed with a few knives whose claim to fame used to be being a cheesy Batman knock-off. And he ANNIHILATES them.
- From the same series Scandal Savage facing down a small army of well armed slave camp guards. She tells them they have a few seconds to either call their loved ones of pray for forgiveness. The leader of the guards takes one look at her and...takes out his phone to call his girlfriend and say goodbye. Scandal is THAT damn scary.
- Ragdoll is a walking CMOA and CMOF. But his take down of Mr Smyth stands out.
- From the same series Scandal Savage facing down a small army of well armed slave camp guards. She tells them they have a few seconds to either call their loved ones of pray for forgiveness. The leader of the guards takes one look at her and...takes out his phone to call his girlfriend and say goodbye. Scandal is THAT damn scary.
- Swamp Thing had his arm ripped off while fighting the demon Etrigan. He picked up said arm, reattached it to the empty socket and punched Etrigan right in the kisser.

ARLINGTON, Texas -- The Rangers begin a three-game weekend series against Kansas City with left-hander Derek Holland facing Royals right-hander Wade Davis at 7:05 p.m. Friday night on Ch. 21, ESPN Dallas 103.3 FM and ESPN Deportes Dallas 1540 AM.

Davis appeared to have a breakthrough start going Sunday against the Angels, taking a shutout into the seventh inning. ... But Josh Hamilton had a home run to start the inning and two walks led to two more runs as the Angels rallied for a 5-2 win. ... Davis allowed six hits and had six strikeouts in 6 1/3 innings. ... His last win was May 15 against the Angels in Anaheim, when he allowed four runs in 5 1/3 innings. ...

Candied ginger turns this traditional cream scone into a spicy and addictive breakfast. After all these years, it's still our bestselling scone at the bakery.
Leave a Review
This is a great recipe! I have made it many times. I substitute buttermilk for the cream, which I prefer. This time I didn't have lemons so I used lime zest and a little extra sugar in the dough. I sprinkle demerara sugar on top before baking. I also make them small and simply drop them onto the cookie sheet instead of rolling and cutting. The key to tenderness is not overmixing. I often take half of the dough and freeze it. That way we can have fresh baked scones more often than I feel like making the dough!
These are wonderful read all the reviews and only used 1 stick of butter and the zest of a whole lemon as suggested. At 16 minutes they weren't completely baked so I baked them for another 5 minutes and they were perfect. Had one right away with Trader Joes lemon curd and a cup of tea - Heaven!!
I've made these many, many times now. One thing I do differently is that I add a ginger glaze as well, for a final umph. I grate lots of fresh ginger and squeeze all the juices from the pulp into a powdered sugar glaze (powdered sugar, add milk slowly until you hit a good glaze consistency). If I'm going for lots of extra kick, I'll chop up the pulp as finely as possible and throw some of that into the glaze as well. The scones are great by themselves, but even better with the added ginger glaze!
disregard the precious comment please after rereading it I found it and low and behold it is exactly what is did. Up to early this, morning !
one might want to reread the instructions, and then make the correction re the ginger¿ you have it being chopped and measured, but the inexperienced baker might not know what to do with it¿...
Amazing! Oy, this is a good reason to have butter in your freezer at all times. (not a euphemism.) Toot a bit of time, but was really great. I made a lot more than 8 scones though...definitely not complaining.
Love this recipe and make them all the time! My family, friends and neighbors love them also!
I used tangerine zest instead of lemon, and added diced figs and some cinnamon and they turned out delicious!!! Even my husband who does not care for scones or candied ginger loved them. I had some homemade mango preserves that I put on top, YUM!
Simple, easy to make quickly. Always a hit at my house for all ages at all times of day.
I followed the recipe pretty closely as this was the first time I had made these. I was trying to replicate the delicious lemon ginger scones from Ula Cafe in Jamaica Plain. These came pretty close, but I would put even more than the 2 tsp I used of lemon zest in next time (rather than the one called for)and maybe a little lemon juice. I used all cake (pastry) flour and I made a thin glaze from lemon zest, juice and a little powdered sugar to spoon over them when they were done and it really added an extra zing! I would try the suggestions of using less butter and substituting half and half or milk to get the calories down another time, just to see how they come out, but the original is so yummy and tender, I think I might be disappointed!

It's been a while since I've updated you folks on my gaming habits. Primarily because it's been a while since I've indulged my fantasies. But here we are! I've played a little bit of games, and below I'll be typing words on them. If you aren't a fan of me, or you aren't a fan of words about games, consider this your most humble warning to turn back now.
Little Big PlanetSurprisingly enough, I just really got in to this game. I was recently hanging out with some friends, and we had the time of our lives with the three-player co-op. It's absolutely absurd and fantastic. Watching Mozart, Ghengis Kahn, and a Zombie hang on to each others feet as they twhirl around on a high-speed wheel is a special kind of fun. A fun that touches your soul in a warm way. A way only Stephen Fry's voice can.
The platforming is really solid, the creation stuff is excellent, and the fun level is off the "hook". I'm slightly ashamed that I've only just gotten in to this now, I feel like I could have been having all this fun so much earlier. Such is life. It has gotten me all the more excited for Modnation Racers, however. A game that looks like it can offer a very similar level of absurdity and creation fun.
God of War IIII like to watch the gore fly as much as the next guy, but as of my current position in God of War III, I'm just frustrated. I've grown impatient with the combat. As stellar and satisfying it can be, I'm struggling through some fights on the normal difficulty. Chances are I'm just bad, and should maybe bump it down to easy. However, as a game that could really just be mashed through until this point, it seems unfair to suddenly demand skills it didn't teach.
Another problem seems to be my lack of health and magic. The upgrades needed to get more often require you to go out of your way to get them, which is just not good design. As it stands it's very easy to take me down, as I've only procured enough Merlin Testicles for one health upgrade. Same goes for magic, I can only cast a few spells because I didn't go off the beaten path to find three of Satan's discarded hang-nails.
So as it stands I'm stuck, and too frustrated to turn back on my system. I'll get around to it eventually, because despite it all, I am having fun with the game. The combat feels great when it's working, and the story has been good enough to keep me in at. As someone coming in to the series at three, I wish there was a little more introduction to both the mechanics and the story, but it wasn't too much of a hindrance. Once I picked it up things started to flow.
I'd like to get back to this one soon and finish it up, I think I'm pretty close to the end anyways. Also fuck you sudden inverted flight controls. Kratos is not an airplane.
Closing it all up, I've been having some mixed time gaming recently. There's a copy of Dragon Age lying around that's begging for my attention, and I'd love to dive in to that and give it a go. Otherwise I'll be wasting my life away on these forums. Completing quests, watching videos, and patrolling these wretched forums. Thanks for reading, Giant Bomb.

Wolf Israel, 63, died courageously on Saturday morning, January 19, 2013, in his final act of civil disobedience on the banks of the Hudson River, in Greenwich Village.
Wolf was born in 1949 in Houston, Texas, to Mary and Louis. At the age of just eight, Ms. Pickering, teacher at Houston Elementary school, advised Wolf's parents to: encourage their child to "start building a library of his own". Clearly this advice must have stuck given Wolf's life-long love affair with books and the written word.
Wolf left Houston at 17 and spent his youth protesting the Vietnam War, munching lentils on a commune, and advocating peace and justice. Wolf graduated from Sarah Lawrence College in 1972 under the tutelage of poet and longtime mentor Jane Cooper. He received his Masters of Art from The
University of Iowa
Writers' Workshop in 1976. Wolf wore many hats, including (but by no means limited to) bartender, bookseller, busker, printer, photographer, teacher and carpenter. He did not call himself a poet, but he was without doubt one in word and deed.
For the past ten years Wolf called both New York and San Francisco his home. In 2012 he established full-time residency in Greenwich Village, where, just as he had in San Francisco, he made a difference to a great many lives. He will be remembered for his wit, charm, brilliant mind and humble lifestyle. He was generous in equal measures to both friends and strangers and was never content to let an injustice go unchallenged. For those who knew him best, above all he gave us his humor, his firm guidance, and his undivided loyalty. There is no doubt that the world will now have an empty space where Wolf should be.
He is predeceased by his parents Mary and Louis and his beloved cat Rudy, and cheeky pony, Cappy. He will be sadly missed by his aunt and uncle in Florida.
Along the years, Wolf 'collected' 'honorary' family members including: Maureen, Cathy and their son, James of upstate New York, and Jude & Andy from San Francisco. Wolf had so many good friends from across the miles and we all join in grieving deeply for his loss.
Wolf did not want a funeral service of any kind, but would forgive us for gathering as friends to remember him and his many contributions to our lives and our world. A San Francisco memorial gathering of friends will take place on April 6th. For more information, call 415-377-7242
Thank you to Wolf's dear friend Lynne and caretaker Shannah who did so much for him in his final months.
In lieu of flowers a fund has been established in Wolf's name to publish his poetry and photographs and to set up a reading room with his books in upstate New York. It will be a place for creative workshops and social justice workshops. Checks can be sent to: the Wolf Israel Memorial Fund, PO Box 163, Greenwich NY 12834.

Circle of Women
Rating: 5 stars 19 19 reviews
P.O Box 381365 Cambridge MA 02238 USA
We mobilize students to provide access to education for girls without it. We collaborate with communities eager to implement innovative, sustainable, and localized solutions to increase girls' access to secondary schools. In doing so, we cultivate a new generation of global citizens by providing students at home with hands-on opportunities in organizational leadership, fundraising, and project management. We also raise public awareness about the health, education, and interests, so that our project becomes a global exchange of information and resources.
In 2009, after 18 months of construction and fundraising about $180,000, Circle opened the doors to its first girls school. The two-story building has twelve classrooms that service the community as a gathering place after school hours. Local leaders registered the school with the Afghan Ministry of Education and designed the curriculum after state standards. In 2010, after the major earthquake hit Pakistan and badly damaged the local secondary school for girls, Circle of Women, in partnership with the Nathiagali Residence Committee, embarked on a large-scale re-building of the girls' school involving the construction and installation of four new bathrooms and a septic tank, a computer lab, two drinking water tanks and a library. Currently, Circle of Women is building a boarding house in Cumbum, India, to increase access to education for girls who would otherwise have to stay at home because of recent increases in reports of sexual assault, and the single-sex (male-only) policy of many local hostels.
Provided funds to barli development institute for rural women, which educates rural, village and tribal women who have not had the opportunity to receive secondary education, to build classroom, computer room and dormitory space for 50 additional students.
provided funds to daraja academy, a free boarding secondary school for girls in east africa, to create additional dormitory housing for 5th year transition students and four secondary classes. Funds also provided for multi-use common room to be used for testing, seminars, study hall and speakers as well as for other social and recreational events.

Al-Qaeda is intensifying efforts to establish a new base for its terrorist operations in Libya following the recent attack on the US consulate in
(Source: Catherine Herridge, Fox News)
AQIM leaders are also attempting to establish ties with other Libyan Islamist groups in the hope of establishing an al-Qaeda fiefdom there similar to the one it has created in nearby Mali.
Intelligence officials say that leaders of the AQIM movement have been travelling regularly to the desert town of Ghat in south-western Libya, close to the border with Niger.
Their aim is to establish a foothold in Libya from which to launch attacks against Western targets, as well as gaining access to the large stockpiles of weapons – including Russian-made anti-aircraft missiles – that were looted by Libyan rebels during the fall of Colonel Muammar Gaddafi's regime at the end of last year.

After massive amounts of hype and anticipation Of Mice & Men met, and exceeded, all expectations with their early 2010 self-titled debut. They hit the ground running, growing their already solid fanbase by performing on the the Vans Warped Tour, Bamboozle and touring with metal and screamo heavyweights such as The Devil Wears Prada, Attack Attack!, We Came As Romans, Alesana, Dance Gavin Dance, I See Stars, I Set My Friends On Fire, Emmure and many more.
Fresh off an almost entirely sold out full US headliner, Of Mice & Men is unleash 'The Flood', their second full length on Rise Records. Former Attack! Attack! frontman Austin Carlile returns to the band and gives his most brutal and honest performance to date. He is accompanied by Shayley Bourget's soaring, melodic counter-vocals.
The album showcases the bands true maturation over a year of relentless touring, while still giving kids the brutal breakdowns and catchy choruses they need to turn the live shows into a true experience.

John McVie
~ Person
John Graham "Mac" McVie (born 26 November 1945) is a British bass guitarist best known as a member of rock groups John Mayall & the Bluesbreakers and Fleetwood Mac. His surname, combined with that of Mick Fleetwood, was the inspiration for the band's name. He joined Fleetwood Mac shortly after its formation by guitarist Peter Green in 1967, replacing temporary bassist Bob Brunning.
In 1968, he married blues pianist and singer Christine Perfect, who became a member of Fleetwood Mac two years later. John and Christine McVie divorced, however, in 1977. Around this time the band recorded the album Rumours, a major artistic and commercial success that borrowed its title from the turmoils in McVie's and other band members' marriages and relationships. He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1998 for his work in Fleetwood Mac.

TravelPod Member ReviewsSavoy Hotel Ooty Ootacamund
Fantastic Old Colonial Building set in well kept gardens. Rooms are in outbuildings consisting of linked bungalows with "teak" flooring and real fireplaces which will be lit on request. Buffet food was varied and good quality although the food should have been hotter. The waiting staff in restaurant were plentiful but their efficiency could be improved. I ordered a drink before starting my meal but didn't arrive until I "reminded" the management of my order. They were very apologetic and tried to correct but it was too late.
I would recommend this hotel if you are prepared to chase the waiting staff in the restaurant.
