If you picked up the Free Comic Book Day issue from Marvel, you got a taste of the upcoming Infinity story. The Avengers are about to get involved and you know it's going to mean bad things for the team.
Marvel has released a teaser for AVENGERS #18 with the title, "Nothing Lasts Forever."
This August, superstar writer Jonathan Hickman is joined by fan-favorite artist Leinil Yu to show fans what an "Avengers Universe" looks like in Avengers #18! Tying into the blockbuster event of the summer, Infinity, Avengers #18 shows fans what new threats lie beyond the edges of the Marvel Universe!
A powerful and destructive race is on a collision course with Earth and the only thing in their path is the Avengers! But even Earth's Mightiest Heroes realize the one hope of defeating this dire threat is to unite every great hero across the cosmos…because only with a united "Avengers Universe" is there any chance of survival! But in order to do so, Captain America and the Avengers must join the Council of Worlds as they declare war on their cosmic invaders. And when the key to their success lies within the rebirth of the Skrull Empire, there's no telling what may happen next!
"Moreso than any other tie-ins, Jonathan's issues of Avengers and New Avengers are an integral core part of the Infinity story--absolutely essential to the reading experience," explained Executive Editor, Tom Brevoort, Marvel Entertainment. "So these issues that Leinil is drawing are key to everything"
This August, the intensity of Infinity is turned up a notch as Hickman and Yu throw the first blows in Avengers #18!

A Weekend Getaway to Historic Frederick, MD
After being married almost eight years, my husband and I finally decided to take a special trip to celebrate our wedding anniversary. With two kids (ages seven and three), we don't often get the opportunity to disappear for a week or even a weekend. If you have kids, then you can relate. If we were going to be able to get away, then we needed a place that didn't take half of a day just to get there. I wanted to go someplace that I have never been before. Since nearly everything that I do and everywhere I go is food-centric (refrain from gasping), as a prerequisite it has excellent dining options. With that in mind, we decided to plan to trip to Frederick, Maryland. Frederick makes an easy day trip. I had never been there before and I was dying to dine at Bryan Voltaggio's restaurant, VOLT. Less than 60 miles from home, Frederick, MD seemed like the ideal locale for our get-a-way. Pure serendipity, a couple of weeks after our discussion and initial plans, we were invited by the Frederick Tourism Bureau for a weekend media excursion. We decided that it was the perfect opportunity to scope out the local B&Bs and take full advantage of what Frederick has to offer.
On paper, Frederick is the region's second largest city and has one of the best-preserved historic districts in Maryland, second only to the capital, Annapolis. It took me several instances to adjust that when someone used the term "downtown" they were really referring to Frederick. In my realm of experience, downtown means Washington, DC. Frederick reminded me a lot of Old Town, Alexandria. It's comparable in size, historic, and quaint very much like Old Town, where I have visited countless times. Frederick's tiny 50-block district has a majestic neighborhoody feel with its tree-shaded streets lined with buildings from the 18th and 19th centuries, and brick walkways that unite inviting courtyards. This along with the countless eclectic shops, coffee nooks, more than 200 antiques stores, museums, and fine restaurants all help attract crowds of weekend visitors here.
We started our tour at the Frederick West Farmer's Market, which was voted the 15th in the 2011 America's Favorite Farmers Market contest. Located on Baughman's Lane off of Rt. 40W, it is a small farmer's market; however, there were dozens of vendors, participating local farmers, bakers, and artisans. Sadly, we just missed Bryan Voltaggio, who was at the market gathering ingredients for his daily menu. With checklist in hand, we enjoyed a mini sampling and tasting by a variety of the market vendors which was arranged by our friends at the Tourism Council of Frederick County and S&R Media Group. We received fresh hand-milled organic flour from Tracy Utley, owner of Red Apron Organic, which I am dying to use, baked goods from Cakes for Cause, a local non-profit that helps teach job skills to youth who age out of the foster care system, and a incredibly aromatic spice bouquet from Jubilee Organic Farm.
While at the market, I also bought a greenhouse grown tomato that tasted like pure sunshine which was amazing, especially since tomato season was long gone and I also bought a head of local grown garlic. My absolute favorite purchase was a mini pumpkin wild flower arrangement from Glade Link Farms from Keymar, MD. They hollowed out the mini pumpkin, inserted a green sponge used for floral arrangements and then added the flowers. It was very festive and lasted about a week on my kitchen table.
After the market, our media group had lunch at the award-winning Firestone's Culinary Tavern (105 N. Market St.), housed in a 1921 building which was once Shipley's Department Store. The atmosphere is casual, like a neighborhood tavern but just as the name suggests, offers a true gastronomic experience. Chef Jack Walker was out but we were very well taken care of by Sous Chef and Frederick native, Jeff Beard. Based on our meal, I can say that Beard is well on his way to a very prestigious award bearing his own name.
For the first course, and a very memorable introduction to what would soon follow, I had the most incredible New England Clam Chowder that I have ever had with fresh briny Littleneck clams, Chardonnay, smoky pancetta, celeriac, cream, and potatoes. While typically I would never order this on my own accord, I absolutely loved their rendition. I used my mini toast to sop up every last drop.
The Grilled "Diver" Scallop wrapped snugly in Applewood bacon was just as spectacular, in taste and in presentation. The single scallop was served perched on top of creamy risotto beneath a drizzle of aged balsamic vinegar, and truffle oil and embellished with a sprig of vibrant purple cauliflower. Without hesitation, I can honestly say that this dish was absolutely incredible, and would be willing to drive the one hour each way to Frederick just to have it again. On the complete opposite side of the culinary spectrum than the scallop, but not lacking in merit was our next dish — the Hand Cut Hot Pastrami sandwich with Swiss Cheese on country sourdough and served with crispy hand-cut french fries. The Pastrami sandwich, as simple and classic as it may seem, this was one of the most phenomenal sandwiches that I have ever had in my life (and after three courses, I was not hungry!). The Pastrami is brined, smoked, and cut in-house. I ate every bite, even the pickle (and my neighbor's pickle). For dessert, we had the Apple Cobbler, which was out-of-this-world. I love fall flavors, and the Apple Cobbler was the perfect conclusion to an amazing meal.
After lunch, we wandered around downtown and went up and down Market Street going in and out of clothing, jewelry, and gift shops. My loving husband bought me a new necklace and matching bracelet at Molly's Meanderings (17 N. Market St.).
Many (including myself until now) do not know the historical significance of Frederick, MD. The town was founded in 1745, 20 years before the Revolutionary War. In the early days before the Civil War, just after Virginia, Maryland's legislature began the debate on whether it would too secede from the Union, an action that would leave the capitol surrounded by "enemy" territory. In April 1861, Federal troops occupied Baltimore and Annapolis in part to fortify and protect Washington, D.C. In order to keep the Union capital safe, Maryland's state capitol was moved to Frederick, Maryland in April 1861. 2011 marked the 150th Anniversary of Frederick as the State Capitol. Frederick tells the story of how their town was divided and the healing that it provided by their hospital center at the National Museum of Civil War Medicine (48 E. Patrick Street), which is housed in a building where soldiers were embalmed during the war.
The best way to explore historic downtown Frederick is by picking up a self-guided map at the visitor center located at 151 S. East Street. There is ample parking offered next door at the East All Saints Street Parking Garage, and there's always street parking along adjacent East Church and South Court streets. Using the latest technology, the Destination Frederick County Visitor's Guide, offers QR codes throughout the guide scannable with your smartphone to view related videos. When we return in December, on the top of my list, is to hear the spine-tingling tales of Frederick's past during the candlelight ghost tour which is offered May through December.
On our own walking tour, we came across the William O. Lee Unity Bridge and Carroll Creek Park, located on Carroll Street between E. Patrick Street and E. All Saints Street. This suspension bridge is said to symbolically represent the end of Frederick's segregated past. Just beyond the suspension bridge is the Community Bridge (see center photo above) where I gasped in awe at the Mural. Local artist William Cochran's award-winning trompe l'oeil or "trick the eye" mural transformed a plain concrete traffic bridge into a large-scale work of art. It's absolutely stunning — truly like nothing that I have ever seen before! The mural creates the permanent illusion of an old stone and ivy-covered bridge. All of the stonework is a hand painted illusion. Even the green algae is painted. One of my favorites is "The Forgotten Song", a painted illusion of a stone bird bath. It's absolutely stunning. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to see something like this. What's even more interesting is that along the wall, there are painted "carvings" on individual stones to reflect the community, culture, and heritage. The Community Bridge Mural is a must see!
Adjacent to the Community Bridge is the Delaplaine Visual Arts Education Center (40 S. Carroll St.). This restored building once housed the historic Mountain City Mill. The structure was formerly used as a whiskey rectifying house, a flour mill, and a storage facility. Today, it has been re-purposed into a non-profit arts education facility features art instruction, exhibitions, special events, and a gift shop offering fine art and handcrafted items. I enjoyed viewing the naturalist art exhibit, "Nature – Shadow & Form" by Marcia Wolfson-Ray and the touching fictional media art/journal exhibit, "UNION: The Courier Journals, 1861-1865″ commemorating the sesquicentennial of the American Civil War by Michael Douglas Jones.
After Delaplaine, we walked to the visitor center nearby. We went hoping to locate the B&Bs that are walking distance from downtown. On December 9th, we have a reservation VOLT and plan to stay overnight to take in the sites. We poked our heads into the Hill House (12 W. 3rd St.), a three-story Victorian home circa 1870 with four guest rooms. It was gorgeous and I made my husband call that very afternoon to reserve our room.
After site-seeing for the afternoon, we returned to our room at the Frederick Courtyard Marriott (5225 Westview Dr.) to change and get ready for dinner. I was actually very surprised when checking in. The Marriott was beautiful, modern yet cozy. There was a water wall, fitness center, indoor pool, cafe, lounge with new flat-screen tvs, and even a fire pit and pond in their serine courtyard. We didn't have a chance to enjoy any of the facilities, other than the cafe or lounge, but I wish that I had gone out to the firepit. I highly recommend staying at the Courtyard Marriott. It's a lovely clean hotel with excellent customer service.
That evening our group had lovely demo and tasting by Shab Row Bistro's (221B North East St.) incredibly talented self-proclaimed "Bar Chef" (and not all atypical), Alex Strange. He said that he wanted to "showcase what makes the bar unique in the area." He emphasized that all of their bitters, tinctures, syrups, etc. are all made in-house. The cocktail menu includes inventive, signature drinks made with fresh ingredients. We sampled an aperitif, and their twist on a traditional gin and tonic called, "Kick Ass Gin and Tonic" made with lavender gin, elderflower liqueur, lemon and tonic 9. We also tried one of his concoctions called, "Gods Must Be Crazy" that has burnt caramel tincture and peppercorn tincture. I admit that before meeting Alex I had no idea what a tincture was or that when using hard liquor that you're supposed to stir only– never shake. He emphasized the importance of ice. He said "ice makes all the difference and is the most overlooked ingredient".
Following Alex's cocktail demo, we enjoyed a special Earth n Eats farm-to-table dinner with a presentation by the farm owner and operator, Josiah Martin from Waynesboro, Pennsylvania. Shab Row Bistro's executive chef, Kevin Longmire, prepared a 5-course tasting menu showcasing some of the seasons most sought after produce provided by Earth n Eats farm. Martin explained, "One hundred years ago, everyone grew their own food. It's not like that today." He said that he started out with a roadside stand selling strawberries, but then realized that they needed more to offer than just produce 3 months out of the year, so they built a greenhouse. Today, the family owned and operated farm has been in operation for more than 15 years. They offer fresh locally grown produce to DC area restaurants, such as Shab Row year-round.
Of our 5-course tasting menu, the Winter Squash Soup made with local Spaghetti Squash, lemongrass, ginger, leek, curry, and micro-mustard was a highlight. In fact, my husband cleaned his plate and used bread to finish every drop. It had full-bodied flavor, with a spicy kick from the curry, and a smooth, velvety texture. It's a perfect soup for the season.
Also, one of my favorite dishes of the evening was the Moulard Duck Breast served with red Russian kale, candy onion, shiitake mushrooms, and Sorghum dumplings. The duck was moist, tender and delicious. It was my first time trying Sorghum dumplings, and the gluten-free pillows made with grain flour were very dense, but were tasty with the duck au jus.
The co-owner, Lindsay Clark introduced us to her mother, who is the genius behind Shab Row's desserts. Her Golden Delicious Apple Crisp with home-made Mascarpone ice cream was our last course. Another fabulous seasonal dish, each bite was like being enveloped in a warm sweater. Think upscale apple cobbler a la mode — the apples were warm and moist, and the ice cream was tart and creamy. The perfect finish to an incredible meal.
After dinner we walked to Volt to have drinks in the lounge. Luckily, chef Voltaggio was able to take a break from the kitchen to come out and chat with us. He admitted that he high-tailed it out of the market when he heard that our media group was arriving shortly. I told him that we planned to return December 9th for dinner to celebrate our wedding anniversary. I tried to contain my excitement … but I think he saw right through me. Fortunately, I don't think that he remembered meeting me before, even though we've met several times.
The next morning we visited local Coffee roaster, Dublin Roasters (1780 N. Market St.) and met owner, Serina Roy. Even though I don't drink coffee, I learned so much about where coffee comes from and the process of roasting coffee beans. Afterwards, we visited the Roddy Creek Bridge (14760 Roddy Rd.) in Thurmont, MD, only of only eight remaining covered bridges in the state of Maryland. The Roddy Road covered bridge, built in 1856, rests just north of Thurmont off of US 15, where Roddy Creek Road meets Roddy Road at Owens Creek. The smallest of the county's covered bridges, Roddy Road is a single-span Kingpost design bridge measuring 40 feet long. The creek adjacent to the bridge was absolutely gorgeous. Together with the creek, the natural beauty at this bridge and park is something to treasure.
Afterwards, we went on a tour of Catoctin Mountain Orchard (15036 North Franklinville Rd.), also in Thurmont, MD with second-generation farmer and owner, Bob Black as our guide. He emphasized that their farm prides itself on taste. He said that many people throw away perfectly good fruit just because it doesn't look perfect. but that they care more about how it tastes. I tasted the juiciest most delicious apples that I have ever had in my life. I learned so much about different variety of apples and when various kinds of produce are in season. After the tour, we sampled two kinds of pie and visited the market and purchased a four-berry pie, jar of pickles, and more apples.
I'm really looking forward to returning to Frederick in December. I can't wait to return to Voila! (10 N. Market St.) for more specialty teas, to stay at the Hill House, and of course, have dinner at VOLT!

Authorities are looking for leads in an armed robbery that took place Monday night at the Swami Mart in Heath Springs.
Deputies with the Lancaster County Sheriff's Office came to the convenience store at 309 S. Main St. after receiving a call about the robbery.
A man entered the store at about 9:55 p.m., near closing time, armed with a black, small-caliber semi-automatic pistol, according to a sheriff's office press release.
As motorists continue to dodge potholes and crumbling pavement on roads throughout the county, Lancaster County Council strongly debated the merits of accepting any more roads into the county system at its Monday meeting.
The advertising and graphics departments at The Lancaster News brought home 22 awards from the S.C. Press Association's annual Palmy awards, held June 16 in Columbia.
The advertising and graphics staffs won two first-place awards, nine second-place awards and 11 third-place awards. Seventeen of the awards were for advertisements published in The Lancaster News; three for ads in the Pageland Progressive Journal and two for ads in Carolina Gateway.
A plan to bring household trash to Ballantyne's Foxhole Landfill has been dumped – at least temporarily.
After months of concerns and complaints from hundreds of Mecklenburg County residents about a proposed plan to convert the Foxhole into a sanitary landfill, Mecklenburg County officials say that plan is off the table.
Officers are still looking for who hit a man in the head with a pool stick earlier this month.
Lancaster police officers responded to a house on Cunningham Street at 12:50 a.m. June 3 about a report of a 23-year-old man who was injured only 20 minutes earlier, according to a police department incident report.
The officers spoke with the victim's family members who said he had lost consciousness, so they placed him in the shower to try and wake him up, the report said.
The recent tornadoes in North Carolina and Alabama killed hundreds of people and created mass destruction that will take many years to recover from.
That type of devastation makes Deborah Bruck wonder.
Bruck, an Indian Land resident, lives in a mobile home and doesn't know where she should go if a tornado ever threatens Lancaster County.
John Howard said it seems as if some of his colleagues on Lancaster City Council may be thinking more about re-election than anything else.
Those remarks came in the wake of City Council's decision not to raise taxes for the next fiscal year. The frozen millage rate for property taxes is part of the $22.76 million 2011-12 budget council adopted Tuesday night.
The vote was 5-2, with Howard and Mayor Joe Shaw voting against it.
The Lancaster Police Department has once again received a familiar federal grant that will enhance its services and strengthen its crime-prevention initiatives.
Lancaster City Council voted unanimously Tuesday to allow the police department to accept a $16,006 award from the Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) program.
Police Chief Harlean Howard said the department will use the money to buy body armor for sworn officers and docking stations for the mobile data terminals (MDTs) used in police vehicles.

Firefox and (surprise!) Acrobat Reader problems. Upgraded Acrobat Reader via its internal upgrade routine (while in Firefox). The upgrade crashed halfway through. Now neither Firefox nor Adobe Download Manager seem to have DNS capability. Also, neither program can be removed from memory—using End Process in the Windows Task Manager does nothing. What gives?
Cause of corrupt PDF's?
HELP! Suddenly, every PDF I download from various databases is corrupt in some way. Either there is "insufficient data for an image" or "unable to extract font X", this has never happened to me before. I have no problem grabbing PDFs from other sites, so I don't know if the corruption is caused by dropped packets going through the library proxy server, evil gremlins, or my recent installation of Reader 6 alongside Acrobat Pro 5

Death from below!
Gosh, could Cork have been tamed in just one episode? Or will there be relapses followed by more remorse, in a recycling cycle of shambles?
Isabelle's house = dishabille..
"So Cork actually listened and never had another meltdown again." Well, it is a fairy tale. BTW, in response to yesterday's comments, I do have an eleven year old in the early throes of puberty . As much as people used to laugh at us when we only had one and talked about how hard it was, they positively guffaw when we say "How could this get any worse?"
The last two images are so cute.
Cork is bonding with his adoptive parents nicely. "His eyes swam with tears and shame." Awww… He is, after all, only a baby, so it will probably happen again.
…well, as I've always said, you can have a nice house with nice things in it, or you can have kids and/or pets…you can't have both…
Oh, no! Don't ever ask if it can get worse. It will prove it can!
Nature vs. nurture? His nature obviously contains remorse.
Most of us are what we become, not what we started with. Can love conquer Cork? Remains to be seen, but I'm willing to offer it will be an epic struggle on both parts, but so often easy in fairy tales.
That reminds me of a time long ago when Bosco, a spider monkey (Ateles belzebuth) stole my eye glasses and began ripping them to pieces which was not good for someone with poor vision. Sluggo, a woolly (Lagothrix lagotricha) who lived with him followed him and returned each piece to me with such a sad look on his face. I think of Cork as being both Bosco and Sluggo here.
Be angry, but not at those you love.
agree 100%. i remember when the kids were small and relatives (who were childless) would come over and comment about the state of the house.
I always told them it's not a house…it's a HOME! ;)
Taming him with kindness and tolerance, not beatings and punishment. He'll be more powerful when he grows up. I'm thinking "The Quiet Man" with John Wayne.
I would hardly say it's easy, because there are few if any fairy tales that don't involve epic struggle, or at least significant obstacles for the hero to surmount. Fairy tales do often end with the hero having triumphed over those obstacles, yes, no argument there. And presumably live happily ever after. Most of the time.
No such assurance in real life, of course. Sometimes the struggle just grinds on, with no end in sight, given how assorted bogeys have a way of blindsiding you just when you thought that you had kept them at bay. When that's what you live with, and it's all you can do to keep those bogeys from putting you under for good, living hopefully ever after is miracle enough.

Aggressive Connecticut Disability Attorneys
Rosenstein & Howard is based in Torrington, Connecticut. Our attorneys serve all of Connecticut and Central Massachusetts. Together, Anne K. Howard and Ron Rosenstein have won the vast majority of their Social Security Disability/SSI appeals. They will do everything within their power to win your case as quickly as possible.
Knowledgeable Connecticut Disability Representation
The number of individuals seeking disability benefits in this country is soaring. For this reason, it appears to be more difficult than ever for a truly disabled individual to win his or her claim for Social Security benefits. Most people are denied on their initial application and must wait another 12 to 18 months before attending a hearing before a Social Security judge. During that time, it's extremely important that the claimant has competent legal representation in order to build a strong medical case to advocate at the hearing.
Our Focus
The law office of Rosenstein & Howard focuses only on Social Security law. Combined, Ron Rosenstein and Anne Howard have more than 50 years of legal experience. As a former attorney-advisor for the Social Security administration, Attorney Howard has detailed knowledge of the inner-workings of the system. Go to this link to see how many Social Security Disability/SSI cases have been approved by Social Security administrative law judges nationwide. The percentage of individuals denied disability benefits at Social Security hearings is convincing proof that a claimant should hire the best lawyer possible to fight for him or her. Not only do we fight for our clients, we have compassion for our clients and treat them with respect. Don't be fooled by TV ads or big TV attorneys. We are local and we care.
Applying For Disability Benefits
If you've become disabled and unable to work, you may qualify for benefits from the Social Security Administration. Feel confident when you apply for disability benefits with Rosenstein & Howard. Our law firm has highly experienced lawyers who only deal with Social Security cases. – MORE
Social Security Disability Insurance Lawyers
Many people wonder if they really even need a Social Security Disability attorney to help them with their appeal. The answer is yes, you definitely need an attorney to help you through this complicated and often very frustrating process. – MORE
Supplemental Security Income Attorneys
The Supplemental Security Income program or SSI awards disability benefits to certain individuals including people with disabilities who have limited income and assets. Unfortunately, since SSI is a means tested program the disabled person must be living under the poverty line in order to qualify for those SSI Disability benefits. – MORE
SSDI/SSI Appeals Lawyers
It's very frustrating when you know you cannot work but the government still denies your case. The process to appeal can be long and tedious, but success is possible. The unfortunate reality is that most people who apply are initially denied. The experienced disability lawyers at Rosenstein & Howard have the experience needed to fight to have your claim reconsidered. – MORE
Our experienced attorneys can help you obtain benefits for any of the following disabilities:
Contact Attorney Anne K. Howard about your claim for Social Security Disability/SSI.
Hours of Operation: Monday–Friday: 9:00 a.m.–5:00 p.m.
Proudly Serving, Torrington, Winsted, Hartford, New Haven, Connecticut and Springfield, Worcester, Massachusetts

My first impressions: interesting; rich and dense, yet not too heavy; a little messy when warm (not necessarily a bad thing); the yeast adds a subtle complexity and nice finish. Definitely worth another try someday...
Yeasted Chocolate Cupcakes
Adapted from Pastries from the La Brea Bakery
2 t. active dry yeast or instant yeast
1 cup plus 1/2 t. sugar
1/2 cup plus 2 T. lukewarm water
1 1/2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
1/2 cup plus 2 T. good quality cocoa powder
8 ounces unsalted butter, melted and cooled to room temperature
4 extra-large eggs, lightly beaten
1 cup coarsely chopped dark chocolate, or more to taste
Prepare the yeasted base:
- If using active dry yeast, mix the yeast and 1/2 t. sugar in a small bowl and then pour in the water. Wait a few minutes. Then stir in 3/4 cup of the flour, cover the bowl, and set aside until the mixture becomes bubbly (about one-half hour).
- If using instant yeast, mix the yeast, 1/2 t. sugar, and 3/4 flour in a small bowl. Pour in the water, stir to mix, cover the bowl, and set aside until the mixture becomes bubbly (about one-half hour).
Place an oven rack in the middle of the oven. Preheat the oven to 350 F.
Butter a muffin tin with 12 wells with 1/2 cup capacity each. Alternatively, line the 12 wells with paper cupcake liners. (It was not easy to remove the cupcakes from unlined wells without damaging them.)
In a large bowl, sift together the cocoa, 3/4 cup flour, and 1 cup sugar.
When the yeasted mixture is ready, make a large well in the center of the dry ingredients. Pour in the butter, eggs, and yeast mixture. With a whisk, mix the liquids together, then gradually mix in the dry ingredients. Whisk until fully mixed. Stir in the chopped chocolate.
Pour or spoon the batter into the muffin tin.
Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, until the cakes are nearly firm to the touch (they might still look a little gooey in the middle, but will firm up out of the oven).

Actress Sienna Guillory confirmed on Twitter that she'll beto play Jill Valentine in Resident Evil 5. The classy actress tweeted the following last night:
"RE:5 alert! Training begins! I aim to mostly put less in the big hole on the front of my face than comes out of the little one on my arse,"
This tweet also confirms that Sony Screen Gems is making a sequel, as opposed to a re-boot like the planned "Resident Evil Begins" (working title).
As of now, there is no director attached, and we don't even know if my girlfriend, Milla Jovovich, is returning to her roll as Alice, although I'll make sure and ask her in my imagination.

#1 Winner Of Nobel Prize for Physics Resigns His Prize

Dr. Ivar Giaever, a former professor with Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and the 1973 winner of the Nobel Prize in physics, abruptly announced his resignation Tuesday, Sept. 13, from the premier physics society in disgust over its officially stated policy that "global warming is occurring."
The official position of the American Physical Society (APS) supports the theory that man's actions have inexorably led to the warming of the planet, through increased emissions of carbon dioxide.
Giaever does not agree -- and put it bluntly and succinctly in the subject line of his email, reprinted at Climate Depot, a website devoted to debunking the theory of man-made climate change...."I resign from APS," Giaever wrote.......Giaever was cooled to the statement on warming theory by a line claiming that "the evidence is inconvertible."..."In the APS it is ok to discuss whether the mass of the proton changes over time and how a multi-universe behaves, but the evidence of global warming is incontrovertible?" he wrote in an email to Kate Kirby, executive officer of the physics society.

And the AGW apologists arrive in 3...2...
A Nobel Prize these days is like a medal you receive for winning a race only to find out that the same medal was given to people who didn't even run."The efforts of the government alone will never be enough. In the end the people must choose and the people must help themselves" ~ JFK; from his famous inauguration speech (What Democrats sounded like before today's neo-Liberals hijacked that party)
Hootie will be here shortly!
The difference between pigs and people is that when they tell you you're cured it isn't a good thing.

The New Yorker Notes Christine Quinn Wears Cheap Shoes
She left the price tag on one.
From Rebecca Mead's profile of New York's City Council Speaker Christine Quinn: "[Quinn] absent-mindedly flexed her right foot, exposing the underside of her shoe. In a minute sartorial lapse, she had neglected to remove the discount sticker from the outlet mall in New Jersey, where she had recently acquired the shoes, on sale, for twenty-four dollars." Also noted, "the infinite variety of auburn shades with which her hair stylist has experimented," but not, sadly, whether said experiments also happen in New Jersey.

SunGard Availability Services, a data center outsourcing provider, has secured all of its US East Coast facilities that are in the projected path of Hurricane Sandy, a murderous storm that ravaged through the Caribbean and was expected to arrive at the US East Coast early next week.
"SunGard Availability Services is on high alert as we closely monitor the path of Hurricane Sandy, which is churning up the eastern seaboard," the company said in a message to its customers posted online.
The company said it had activated a hurricane-preparedness process, securing facilities and ensuring consistent communications.
If the storm hits the East Coast as projected, many data centers will be in its path. The main hubs in its crosshairs are New York and New Jersey.
Major storms present the danger of physical damage to data centers, but they also often cause power outages, putting data centers' backup-power systems and processes to test. There is also the danger of connectivity loss due to damaged network infrastructure.
Sandy killed at least 41 people in the Caribbean and could make landfall Monday night or Tuesday morning in Maryland, Delaware, New Jersey, New York or New England, Reuters reported, citing US government forecasters.
The storm triggered landslides and floods in Cuba, Haiti, the Dominican Republic, Jamaica and the Bahamas, according to Reuters.

Having your Credentials Recognized
To work in Canada, you may need to have your academic and/or professional credentials assessed to do certain jobs. This is essential in all regulated professions. While you are in your home country you can research your profession in Canada and start your credentials assessment process. If you have arrived in Canada, it is important to get started on these tasks quickly.
If you are considering moving to Canada or you have recently arrived in Canada, the Planning to work in Canada? workbook will help you gather information about living and working in Canada.
The following information can help you get your credentials recognized and started on your job search in Canada.
Determine if your Profession is Regulated
The resources on the Citizenship and Immigration Canada and the Job Bank websites will help you determine if your profession is regulated or non-regulated in the province/territory in which you would like to work.
If your profession is regulated, the Job Bank website will indicate the appropriate provincial/territorial regulatory body. You need to contact this organization to determine what steps to take to start working in your profession. Carefully review the information about certification on the regulatory organization's website.
Some professions that are not regulated by law have professional organizations that may provide certification courses. Membership in these organizations might provide you with good networking opportunities which could help you find work in your profession. The Job Bank website can help you determine if there are any professional associations in your field.
Have your Credentials Assessed
Contact the appropriate regulatory body and provide it with the necessary documents to have your credentials assessed. The documents and process are determined by the specific regulatory body and can vary greatly depending on the province/territory and profession.
If your profession is non-regulated, it is still a good idea to have your credentials assessed and recognized because it will help employers better understand your qualifications.
The Citizenship and Immigration Canada website also provides additional information on the credential assessment process.
Organize your Documents
The regulatory body for your profession will need specific documents to support the recognition of your credentials. Generally, you will require at least a copy of your degree/diploma and transcripts, translated into either English or French. The regulatory body will specify any other necessary documents and will be able to provide you with additional information, including specifications about translation standards.
Citizen and Immigration Canada provides Occupational Fact Sheets that will help you to understand the general requirements you must meet to work in some professions/sectors and understand the steps that you can take while you are still in your home country.
To work in Canada, you will need a Social Insurance Number. You can apply for a Social Insurance Number at any Service Canada Centre. You must provide a primary document that proves your identity and status in Canada. If your name on your primary document is different from the name you are currently using, you must also provide a supporting document. These documents must be originals and written in English or French.
Begin the Job Search
For your job search, you will need a résumé or curriculum vitæ written in English or French and formatted in a style acceptable to Canadian employers. When you arrive in Canada, visit your nearest Immigrant services office or Employment Resource Centre for help with your résumé and job search activities.

WASHINGTON — A high-level Internal Revenue Service office in Washington played a role in delaying reviews of some conservative groups' applications for tax-exempt status, according to excerpts of interviews released yesterday by Republicans.
The excerpts came from midlevel IRS officials in Washington, including one who expressed frustration that the IRS chief counsel's office above him interfered with his review.
Democrats responded that Republicans were "cherry-picking" quotes to bolster their contention that partisan politics influenced IRS decisions.
The controversy erupted in May when an IRS official apologized for the agency's scrutiny of applications from groups linked to the tea party.
It has become a charged battle, with Democrats downplaying the case, and Republicans trying to trace the practices back to the White House.
House Republicans probing the matter wrote to IRS acting chief Danny Werfel yesterday seeking emails between the IRS, the Treasury Department and the White House.
Democrats released their own interview excerpts, including one from an IRS official who said it was not uncommon for the chief counsel's office to review controversial cases.
At a House hearing on another matter yesterday, Werfel said a review found that tax-exempt applications from groups beyond the tea party received scrutiny equivalent to that received by conservative groups.
A report in May by the inspector general for tax administration had noted the involvement of the chief counsel's office.
On Tuesday, Democrats released a summary of 15 interviews with IRS employees that they said found no evidence of political motivation or White House involvement.

To assist you with the understanding of your 1098T tax statement, we have prepared a list of frequently asked questions (FAQ's) which can be found below. Additional information can be found on the IRS website at http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p970.pdf or http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f8863.pdf or www.irs.gov/newsroom/article/0,,id=205674,00.html .
What is a 1098-T?
In 1997, the Taxpayer Relief Act established two education tax credits and a deduction for student loan interest. These credits are explained in detail in Publication 970 from the IRS.
The 1098-T form is a Tuition Payment Statement that includes information that colleges and universities are required to issue for the purpose of determining a student's eligibility for education tax credits.
What is reported on a 1098-T statement?
The information reported in Box 2 on the 1098-T statement includes tuition and eligible charges (as defined by the IRS) that were posted to your accounting bill between the dates of January 1st and December 31st.
Box 4 includes adjustments to charges on a prior year's 1098-T statement that occurred in this tax year.
The information reported in Box 5 on the 1098-T statement includes any financial aid (excluding loans) that was posted to your accounting bill between the dates of January 1st and December 31st, regardless of the semester for which it was awarded.
Box 5 includes adjustments to financial aid on a prior year's 1098-T statement that occurred in this tax year.
Why is Box 1 blank?
Box 1 is blank because we do not report payments on the 1098-T rather, we report tuition and eligible charges as mentioned above.
What is the deadline for the 1098-T tax forms to be mailed to students?
By federal law, all forms must be postmarked by January 31, 2015.
What makes me eligible to receive a 1098-T?
You are eligible to receive a 1098-T if you incurred charges during the 2014 calendar year that were not reported on the previous year's 1098-T statement.
If your last semester of enrollment was Spring 2014, you were billed for those charges in December 2013, therefore the Spring 2014 charges were included in Box 2 on the 2013 1098-T statement.
I attended FMU, why isn't box 8 checked?
You are required to be at least half-time for one term within the calendar year in order to be eligible for the tax credits provided by the IRS.
A 1098-T statement in no way suggests that you are eligible for a tax credit. 1098-T statements are for informational purposes only. Please speak with a tax professional or consult the IRS website for more information about whether or not you qualify for a credit.
If after reviewing these FAQ's, you still have questions, please don't hesitate to contact us via email at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Forget Casper the Friendly Ghost. There's a new HNIC-ghost in town, kicking in the doors. House of Wallace is a new animated series that will follow the late Biggie's two kids, CJ & T'yanna in which the premise is their struggle to "prevent their father's Brooklyn music studio from being replaced by "a cookie cutter 'entertainment factory.'" Yes, Biggie will star as the ghost who "serves as a central character, appearing to the children in ethereal form to guide them through the adversities they face as they struggle to preserve their father's labor of love." The press release states: "Not only will C.J. and T'yanna be voicing their own characters, but a bevy of musical artists will also appear on the show, alongside a hilarious and endearingly-affable staff of studio employees. Music will constitute a central component of the show, including original songs from guest stars and re-imagined renditions of classics from the Wallace catalog." This really gives a new meaning to Life After Death. Sorta. Spotted at Complex via Gawker.

An Official Website of the Commonwealth of Kentucky
Too many first-year college students need to take remedial courses. Since the formation of the state P-16 Council in April 1999, the Council on Postsecondary Education and the Department of Education worked to create a coherent system of education-one in which students learn and make progress from pre-kindergarten through the baccalaureate without unnecessary and unintended barriers. One of the first tasks was to convene K-12 teachers and postsecondary faculty to define college-readiness in English (reading and writing) and mathematics. Rarely if ever in Kentucky have educators statewide—elementary through postsecondary levels, and including arts and sciences faculty—been brought together by discipline to define competency expectations across the P-16 continuum.
The cost of postsecondary remedial placement-in time, money, and morale-is unacceptably high. The department and the CPE recognize that the commonwealth's goal of increasing postsecondary enrollment, retention, and graduation rates requires the P-12 and postsecondary systems to work together. They assembled two teams of educators to address the high rate of remedial placement in English and mathematics.
The experiences of the few other states that have tried to align the curricula and P-12 and postsecondary competency standards guided alignment team planning. Dr. Janis Somerville, a consultant from The Education Trust (a Washington, D.C.-based non-profit advocacy group) and the National Association of System Heads in Washington, D.C., advised staff on how to identify areas of the P-12 and postsecondary systems to represent each sector. Steven Kay of the Lexington consulting firm Roberts & Kay, Inc. clarified the agenda and suggested how the teams could best function.
Each team comprised 16 members (Literacy Alignment Team Roster, Mathematics Alignment Team Roster): six K-12 educators, including one elementary, one middle, and one high school teacher, and one representative from each of three levels of K-12 administration (superintendent, curriculum development or supervision, and assessment); and 10 postsecondary faculty members, including one from each of the four-year public institutions, one from the Kentucky Community and Technical College System, and one from the independent institutions.
K-12 representatives were selected by the Department of Education. Postsecondary representatives were nominated by the chief academic officers of their respective institutions, so that the recommendations would have a greater impact in each institution. Postsecondary faculty on the literacy team included members of departments of philosophy, communications, and languages and literature, as well as of English and writing programs; faculty on the mathematics team included members of departments of biology, political science, and computer science and information systems, as well as of mathematics. Among the postsecondary members were representatives from various levels of administration. Preliminary versions of each team's recommendations were shown to focus groups of parents and employers convened by the Prichard Committee, labor leaders, students who have taken postsecondary remedial programs, and the chief academic officers of the public institutions for their advice.
Interim Commissioner Kevin M. Noland and CPE President Gordon K. Davies issued the invitation to team members. Council member Peggy Bertelsman agreed to chair the literacy team, and Board of Education and P-16 Council member Lydia Carol Gabbard agreed to chair the math team. The teams met from March 1999 to March 2000 and regularly communicated over the Internet by listserv.
The discussions held by both the literacy and mathematics alignment teams have opened up areas for further joint work between P-12 and postsecondary educators. Since the alignment teams began, a statewide early mathematics testing program has been established, and the P-16 Council is examining how to offer the Pre-College Curriculum to more or all high school students.

MOSCOW — He was once Russia's richest man and, by some measures, President Vladimir Putin's most potent foe.
By yesterday, when Putin said he was likely to grant clemency to Mikhail Khodorkovsky, that was all long in the past. Both Khodorkovsky's power and the source of his wealth have been lost over the course of a decade in prison, and Putin's position as Russia's leader is more secure than ever.
Khodorkovsky's release would signal an end to a remarkable saga that has been one of the hallmarks of Putin's tenure and has led to international condemnation of what many view as a high-profile violation of human rights.
Surprising reporters at the end of his annual, wide-ranging news conference, Putin said Khodorkovsky had sent him a letter asking for clemency, which he likely would grant within the next few days. Khodorkovsky's attorney and mother both said they were aware of no such letter.
"His over 10 years of imprisonment is a serious punishment, and he referred to humanitarian circumstances," Putin said. "His mother is sick, and I think the decision can be taken and a decree pardoning him will be signed in the near future."
The Russian prosecutor general's office said this month that investigators were preparing a new case against Khodorkovsky, alleging that he had given instructions from his prison cell for associates to use his money to change Russian legislation in his favor. Khodorkovsky's current term is set to end in less than a year.
In two previous cases, he was convicted of tax evasion, fraud and money laundering. Since 2003, the former chief executive of the now-defunct Yukos Oil company has been languishing in Moscow prisons and then in prison camps, first in eastern Siberia and currently in the northern Karelia region.
Human-rights activists and liberal political leaders have argued that both trials were politically motivated and that Khodorkovsky was being punished for daring to oppose Putin.
Putin said at the news conference that he didn't know the details of the new investigation into Khodorkovsky but implied that the case was unlikely to reach the courts. "I don't understand what kind of case it can be," the president said. "I heard something, but I don't see anything dangerous for anybody there."
Putin's decision came one day after Russia's parliament approved an amnesty law that is expected to lead to freedom for two groups of detainees who had become international causes: the two imprisoned members of the punk band Pussy Riot, and 30 people facing charges for a Greenpeace demonstration against Arctic oil drilling.

Main Forums > I Just Tested Poz
Not New but..
(1/2) > >>
Hi All.. I've been reading poz.com and the forums for quite some time, but figured I should introduce myself. Hi I'm Richard :)I was diagnosed April of 2012 with hiv, honestly did not have a clue at the time. I had felt weak for a couple of days, and early one Friday morning (like 1am early) i woke up to go to the bathroom. My feet hit the floor immediately followed by the rest of me. I laid there a good 10 minutes before I could stand myself back up. In my usual stubborn style, I took a shower, and drove myself to the emergency room. At the ER, they took some vitals, and immediately took me to the back, which was surprising to me. Apparently my blood o2 content was low enough they were concerned. After a chest X-ray and a cat scan, the doctor in ER told me I had Pneumocistis. Never heard of it.. I was admitted to the hospital, and spent the next six days on introvenus and oral antibiotics, and steroids. My personal doctor had been coming by to check on me, on the third day i'd be hospitalized, we sat down for a chat. He told me I'd nearly waited too late, it had taken the anti-biotics that long to start working. He said if I'd waited much longer, we wouldn't be having this conversation. Yes that snapped my attention, because frankly I didn't FEEL bad, no fever, no coughing, no.... nothing! Just a little tired/weak feeling.Ran through all the stuff with him, and he revealed my CD4 and VL counts: My cd4 was at 10 (ten), and my VL was 400,000. Martian speak to me at the time.. while I was still in the hospital, he introduced me to a HIV specialist.. and they drew blood for a resistance test (Can't take Atripla, darn it). By the time we got around to starting treatment (Truvada and Isentress), my CD4 count was 5, VL was 495000. At last test, my cd4 was just over 300, and vl was 1300, and it's about time to test again. This is getting WAY longer that I wanted.. To try to be briefer... how do you cope? I mean I've known for coming up on 10 months now, but mentally.. I've only just started to try to deal. I've been NUMB on the subject since I was diagnosed and really haven't let it sink in. I don't have a close circle of friends, nor really anyone that I feel that I can just have an open discussion about it. I'm a shaken bottle of soda ready to blow it seems like most days. The hospital recommended at the time, that I contact a local aids outreach organization, but so far I've not been able to make myself do that. I want to deal with this and try to move past it as much as possible, but don't know where to start..
Hi RichardWelcome to the forums.This is a standard reply I make to all new comers, I hope it helps a little.Reaction to the results is difffernt for everyone, but over time you will find a way of coping with the virus that suits you and it might be quite differnt from how others deal with it.No one here will ever tell you it's easy, it's ok to get angry or scared but don't let it take over your life, stress is natural it can actually help some of us get through certain situations but excessive stress can cause you physical symptoms and can damage your immune system further, just find ways to manage any stress you may be feeling, learn to relax and listen to your body.Along with HIV comes anxiety and one way of tackling this is through information. gaining confidence in yourself and making informed decisions about your future.Support is very important and you can get this from a qualified ID doctor , family, or a friend that you can trust and there are many support organizations out there...just make sure whoever you discuss this with is sympathetic, supporting and non judgmental about your HIV status.Most important of all you have to remember that being HIV+ does not stop you from being the person you were before your dianosis.Keep in touch here, the guys are here to help you with any problems you come up against.ArohaJan
Jeff G:
Hi Richard and welcome to the forums . I think you will find that the forum is a great place to give and get the support you need . I know its tough going at first but it does get better . Jeff .
Hi Richard,Sorry you had to find us, but it's really fortunate that you did.I was diagnosed in September 2012 and like you I am trying to figure out how to cope with all this. I am lucky to have close friends to confide in, but it doesn't always help much. I find these forums offer what they can't: personal experiences and empathy in what I've been/am going through. I would have to agree with your hospital's recommendation to seek out an ASO, I live in a relatively large city and there is a really great comprehensive clinic in my area. They have support groups and an onsite psychologist. I don't know where you live, but perhaps a local metro area has services that you can use.I want you to know you took a great step forward in seeking medical help and now opening up on these forums. Don't underestimate that first step. And when you feel like that soda bottle is ready to blow- stop shaking it, take a DEEP breath and remember you're gonna keep breathing. But take it easy. This isn't a sprint, it's a marathon, and never sell yourself short on your progressHere's to good health and hope.-D
Richard,Welcome to the forums. I am glad to hear things are better physically, even though not the best mentally. My diagnosis story is very similar to yours. I didn't feel all that ill, and bam! I was being rushed by ambulance to the hospital. I couldn't breathe and was turning blue. It really came out of nowhere, really. I had no clue I was that ill. No cough. Not out of breath. I was still smoking at the time. I felt like I was coming down with the flu, but not having it yet. Just a little fatigue and blah feeling. My lungs sounded clear. I was having awful back and side pains. I thought I pulled a muscle. I would later learn that was plural effusion around the lung, that was causing the awful pain.I was in ICU for a few days and in the hospital a little over a week. They kept asking about my HIV status, which made me mad at first. They said all my blood work was off--everything. I consented to an HIV test. A doc said the exact same thing to me. He said I was so lucky to be so close to medical care, or I would have likely died. I was on a high for about the first 6 months. We began doing home remodeling projects. I think it was my mind's coping mechanism. But, that would change. I began having so many fears. People would say I was irrational, and I would know I was sick next time. But, I had gotten so ill with very little warning. I feared it would happen again out of the blue. I carried my cell with me, even at home. I was afraid to travel. What that doc said had an impact on me. I was afraid to be too far from medical attention. Anyway, I have come a long way over the last four years. I will take a shower, without my phone sitting outside the shower..lol. I have traveled. I don't have nearly as many panic attacks. But, I am not the same. I still have those fears, when we are way out in the country, away from help. How are you doing? Do you have fears of getting ill again, or just coming to terms with being poz? I see a therapist. I highly suggest it for you. Many of us have PTSD, especially if you got deathly ill. You said you weren't sure where to start. Having people here to talk with is a good start. But, a therapist would be another good start. Keep in touch.Ted
