Original Art Stories: Don Heck's Avengers
Heck went right back to the Golden Age and worked all the way through to the late 1980s, where, sadly, he ended his career drawing very uninspired Batman and Justice League stories that he'd have eaten up back in the day. Part of Heck's sadness came from being labelled the worst comic book artist ever by Harlan Ellison, although to give Ellison his due, he did apologise later and he was baited somewhat by Gary Groth. Heck was also plagued by ill health and personal issues towards the end, which led to a loss of confidence. A sad way to end a long and distinguished career indeed.
Heck was good, very, very good. His art was unique and highly stylised - you knew when you had a Don Heck book just by looking at the art. You could spot George Tuska by the teeth he gave his characters, but Heck, well the line was there and with the right inker, and Heck's best inker was Don Heck himself, he shone. He was just as distinctive, if not as dynamic, as Kirby himself.
Don was clearly not a total recluse and was free with praise and help, as this letter of advice to a young artist shows.
So thank you Don Heck for some bloody good childhood, and adulthood, memories. You may be gone but you are not forgotten. And why Stan Lee rejected that Avengers cover in favour of the Gil Kane one is beyond me. Any artists out there wants to hazard a guess?

I love Don Heck's work. I was fortunate enough several years ago to pick up a Kirby original art page that was inked by Don Heck. Two for one if you ask me. I got two of my favorite artists of all time on one page. That doesn't happen very often.
Praise and Respect to Don Heck's work.

I think Don Heck is criminally underrated by most folks. I think he did just plain people better than super-heroes. I never saw his Avengers work till the reprinted it in Marvel Triple Action and enjoyed the heck out of it.

That's a funny coincidence. Within the last month I've been re-reading my Essential Avengers volumes. This time around, even though it's only been a few years since I last looked at them, I really had a much more tremendous appreciation for Heck's work on the series. I enjoyed Dick Ayers' inking of Heck's pencils, and thought they made a great team on those early Avengers issues. I actually sent Dick an e-mail regarding this. He replied that he enjoyed inking Heck's penciling very much, and commented that it was "very neat and clean."

Thanks for fighting the good fight, Mr. Best. Don Heck was indeed a master.

i also picked up an old twice up avengers page with kirby "layouts" and heck "finishes" and enjoyed the mix of the two.
Heck's work was terribly underrated in its day, and as time when by, it dated by not being as flashy as whatever was popular at the time. Now, looking back, it is solid, professional and clean and should have been given more praise than it was. His later work, unfortunately, defined much of how people remember him as an artist.

Love the work of Don Heck!
His work on Avengers King-Size Special #1 was in many ways my introduction to the team and to Marvel. Alas it was that Special which took him away from the regular series that got John Buscema his nod and when the fans got a glimpse they demanded Big John stay.
That was the beginning of the diminishment of Heck unfortunately and he was shuttled around from one series to another for years after.
His line is so lively, his work is crisp and his storytelling evocative.
As for that Avengers cover, I'm guessing it might be because none of the heroes are facing the reader. It's a neat scene, but maybe not a cover that's going to pop out across a crowded drug store screaming to be bought.
It's a shame that Jack Kirby couldn't make use of Don Heck on his Fourth World stuff as he originally planned, as I truly think that might've changed the way fans today think about Marvel's most underrated artist.

Terrific Don Heck post.
I'll tell you EXACTLY why Stan rejected that Avengers cover. You can hardly see the heroes and ONLY THEIR BACKS at that.
Stan'd always reject covers when the heroes backs were to the audience.

The main family-friendly destinations are the Amazon, Patagonia, Galapagos, Pantanal, Machu Picchu, Guatemala, Mexico and Costa Rica.
This really depends on your definition of easy. South America, like Europe is a long haul flight from Australia and New Zealand and so you need to be prepared for that part of the journey. Once you arrive in South America, the infrastructure is generally good, there are plenty of great hotels to choose from and generally a range of food options. Sometimes you just need a little patience in case something doesn't quite run to plan - but that is often part of the adventure!
Most children love encounters with wildlife and enjoy heading out by boat or on jungle walks in search of birds and animals. That is why the Galapagos, Pantanal and Amazon as well as Costa Rica are such great family destinations. Patagonia offers not only wildlife, but great outdoor activities that children enjoy - with options including walking, cycling and horse-riding. Costa Rica offers these activities as well as zip-lining and canopy walks. Then of course there are swimming and snorkelling opportunities - the Galapagos in particular is a fantastic destination for this activity, with a myriad of colourful fish and turtles to swim amongst. Piranha fishing is always a highlight in the Amazon! Children love the colour, buzz and excitement of local markets and Mexico and Guatemala certainly have their share of vibrant local markets.
Many Latin American families travel with their children and so it is not uncommon to find family-friendly hotels throughout South and Central America. If you are concerned, however, please check with your travel consultant prior to booking as not all accommodation is family orientated. If booking a private tour then we can obviously hand-pick hotels to suit your family's needs.
Most of the higher standard hotels provide Western food as well as local dishes. Latin American cuisine is fairly palatable for children with many countries having asados (barbeques), papas, (potatoes) and a good selection of fresh fruit and vegetables as well as delicious fresh fruit juices. There are great seafood options along the coast and Argentina is of course renowned for its beef.
Children above the age of 3 months have the same responses to high altitudes as adults. You never quite know how your body, even as an adult, will respond to altitude until you get there. It is important for anyone, whatever their age, to ascend slowly, giving your body time to acclimatise. It is also important that you drink plenty of water and do not over eat as your digestion works slowly at higher altitudes. Also remember that the sun's rays are more intense at high altitudes and so protection from the sun is vital. If you are concerned about altitude, we recommend that you consult your doctor or medical practitioner prior to departure.
In most areas yes, and we will request guides at the main sights that understand the needs of families and who will be able to bring the destination to life in a slower, more child friendly manner. For private tours we are able to tailor the tour to meet your family's needs.
Although the guides will try to interact with your children as much as possible, they are not responsible for providing childcare. Parents are expected to look after their children during the tour.
The minimum age really depends on you and your family and also on where you are planning to travel and the activities that you wish to include. It also depends on the kind of traveller you are. Chimu staff have been travelling with their children to Latin America since they were babies. Obviously the older they are the more they will get out of their tour and the more they are likely to remember.

The Balanced Scorecard was developed to measure both current operating performance and the drivers of future performance. Many managers believe they are using a Balanced Scorecard when they supplement traditional financial measures with generic, non-financial measures about customers, processes, and employees. But the best Balanced Scorecards are more than ad hoc collections of financial and non-financial measures. The objectives and measures on a Balanced Scorecard should be derived from the business unit's strategy. A scorecard should contain outcome measures and the performance drivers of those outcomes, linked together in causeand-effect relationships.

Exercise while travelling
With the long weekend in sight, many of us are probably thinking of spending a great time together with your family and friends. During this period of vacation, have you thought of ways of blasting those calories other than the occasional (or boring) gym visit?
Here are some simple exercises that you can perform in the comfort of your resort or hotel room, using just your bodyweight and your luggage. Perform each exercise for 20-30 seconds depending on your fitness proficiencies and repeat for 3 sets.
Exercise 1: Warm up/Cardio – Luggage Jump over
Using the luggage as an obstacle, stand on one side and jump over to the other side as shown. If you are not confident of jumping over the luggage, simply chuck the luggage aside and perform lateral jumps on the floor.
Exercise 2: Abs– Luggage Roll Out
This is a great workout which I drew inspiration from the TRX Suspension Training System. With your hands on the luggage, slowly roll the luggage out to a manageable height and roll back. If it is too challenging to do so, try to plank for the stipulated duration instead.
Exercise 3: Push up and luggage roll in
This is another TRX inspired workout. With your hands on the floor and legs on the luggage, perform 2 push-ups and subsequently roll the luggage in towards the chest for 2 times. For a regressive version, perform the push up on the floor or on your knees and do mountain climbers instead of the luggage roll.
Exercise 4: Cardio – Burpees and luggage lift
Perform 1 burpee and 1 luggage lift as depicted in the picture. An easier option would be to perform the burpee without lifting the luggage.
Extra notes: For the demonstration, I had placed 3kg (6x500ml) of water and a pair of Muay Thai pads into the luggage. Feel free to experiment with your own luggage!
Do exercise discretion in performing each of the exercises and seek professional help if you have any queries or doubts executing them.

I'm three weeks post op, everything seems to be going just great! However, I have a lot of nasty and persistent blackheads on my nose. It looks real awful. I've tried gentle cleansers, astringents, you know name it, I've tried it. How long do I have to wait until I am able to fully get rid of these pesky blackheads? Also, what would be the least traumatic method of getting rid of the blackheads? A facial? A blackhead extractor? My finger nails? Thank you all in advanced!
Blackheads After Rhinoplasty?
Doctor Answers 4
Blackheads after Rhinoplasty
It is common for this to happen because the nasal splint and tape are applied right after the surgery, the skin is soft and pores are open. Your skin is not breathing and you aren't able to clean the area due to the splint. After 3 weeks your nose is still tender so it is important not to put any pressure on it. I would have your plastic surgeon examine it on your next follow up appointment.

Blackheads After Rhinoplasty
At three weeks your nose is very tender. I recommend that you refrain from extracting the blackheads on your nose. The least traumatic option would be to limit oil buildup with a cleaning solution. You may want to visit a dermatologist for medication if the issue is very problematic.

3 weeks post rhinoplasty and skin issues
The nasal skin will often be very oily after rhinoplasty.This may lead to blackheads. At three weeks the nose is still in a "tender" state and it would not be wise to push hard on the nost to extract them.

Nasal Blackheads Cleaning After Rhinoplasty
At 3 weeks post-op, your nose is somehow fragile and cannot be pinched and squeezed.
Cleaning your nasal blackheads should be gentle and with minimally applied pressure.
That being said, I recommend that you consult with your surgeon who knows the full details of your surgery and can physically examining your nose to recommend the perfect method to remove your nasal blackheads.
Nasal strip could not be a good idea but cleansing cremes may be the solution although the amount removed blackheads may not be optimal; definitely, do not use your fingernails to push the blackheads out.
I hope this helps and thank you for your inquiry.
The best of luck to you.

Washington state laws require that international students on an F1 or J visa maintain adequate health insurance while attending the University of Washington. All matriculated international students in F1 or J1 status at the University of Washington are required to purchase the University of Washington Student Health Insurance every quarter they are enrolled in courses. There are some expections where UW will waive the requirement for a student - see below for details.
Enrollment for UW's International Student Health Insurance Plan (ISHIP) is through MyUW as part of the course registration process. The health insurance fee will be added to your tuition statement, which is due by the third Friday of each quarter.
Having troubles enrolling? Check out our helpful "how to enroll guide" here.
The 2016-2017 academic year student cost is $310 per quarter. CIE recommends that you purchase the "Annual Coverage", which will enroll you in the health insurance for the entire academic year rather than enrolling each quarter. This will make sure that you have health insurance coverage during your vacation quarter. You can not purchase iSHIP if you are not enrolled in UW classes.
If you need to enroll your spouse and/or children, there is an additional cost.
CIE encourages all students to purchase the insurance plan for the entire year to ensure coverage year-round, even during your vacation quarter. Coverage dates for the current academic year are provided at: www.washington.edu/ship/international-student-insurance-health-plan/iship-faqs/.
If you need short term coverage before classes begin you may purchase short term coverage through the ISHIP plan beginning in summer quarter. Private insurance is also available from several sources, and we encourage you to review the list of current companies (bottom of the webpage under "Other Insurance Plans".
Students should make every effort to be insured during their entire stay in the U.S., including grace periods and while authorized on Optional Practical Training. Students who do not receive health insurance through their OPT employer, can consider private insurance providers listed under "Other Insurance Plans". These companies specalize in working with international students, and some have special coverage options for students on OPT (such as ISO Insurance).
Students should not expect to be able to purchase an insurance plan that is not through UW. The requirement to purchase the UW Student Health Insurance Plan may be waived only if you fit into one of the following categories and have comparable insurance that is valid in the U.S. are eligible for an insurance waiver:
Minimum Coverage: The insurance must provide a monetary minimum of $200,000 or more per medical condition per policy year, medical evacuation (at least $10,000) and repatriation of remains (at least $7,500).
Research or Teaching Assistantship: If you receive a graduate Research or Teaching Assistant appointment, you may be eligible for the Graduate Appointee Insurance Plan (GAIP). If you enroll, this will automatically replace the UW Student Health Insurance Plan and no waiver is required. More information on GAIP is available at: http://www.washington.edu/admin/hr/benefits/insure/gaip/index.html
How to Complete the Health Insurance Waiver:
When you register for classes, you will notice that in MyUW you will be required to select a Health Insurance coverage plan. You will need to select either the quarterly or annual coverage. Please Note: You are advised to select the "Annual Coverage" because then you will only need to submit the online waiver one time per Academic Year. If you select the "Quarterly Coverage", then you must submit the online waiver every quarter.
Questions? Please direct your insurance waiver questions to: email@example.com

LMC origin of the hyper-velocity star HE 0437-5439
Beyond the supermassive black hole paradigmN. Przybilla1, M. F. Nieva1, U. Heber1, M. Firnstein1, K. Butler2, R. Napiwotzki3, and H. Edelmann1

3 Centre for Astrophysics Research, University of Hertfordshire, College Lane, Hatfield AL10 9AB, UK
(Received 12 January 2008 / Accepted 28 January 2008)
Context.Hyper-velocity stars move so fast that only a supermassive black hole (SMBH) seems to be capable of accelerating them. Hence the Galactic centre (GC) is the only place suggested as their origin. We discovered earlier that the object HE 0437-5439 is a hyper-velocity star. However, this early B-type star is too short-lived to have reached its current position in the Galactic halo if ejected from the GC, except if it is a blue straggler. Its proximity to the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) suggests an origin in this galaxy.
Aims.The chemical signatures of stars at the GC are significantly different from those in the LMC. As a result, an accurate determination of the abundance pattern of HE 0437-5439 will yield a new tight constraint on the place of birth of this hyper-velocity star.
Methods.High-resolution spectra obtained with UVES on the VLT were analysed using state-of-the-art NLTE modelling techniques.
Results.We determined abundances of individual elements to very high accuracy in HE 0437-5439, as well as in two reference stars from the LMC and the solar neighbourhood. The abundance pattern is not consistent at all with that observed in stars near the GC, ruling out an origin from the GC. However, there is a high degree of consistency with the LMC abundance pattern. Our abundance results cannot rule out an origin in the outskirts of the Galactic disk. However, we find the lifetime of HE 0437-5439 to be more than three times shorter than the time of flight to the edge of the disk, rendering a Galactic origin unlikely.
Conclusions.Only one SMBH is known to be present in the Galaxy and none in the LMC. Hence the exclusion of an GC origin challenges the SMBH paradigm. We conclude that there must be other mechanism(s) than the SMBH that accelerate stars to hyper-velocity speed. We draw attention to dynamical ejection from dense massive clusters, as recently proposed.
Key words: Galaxy: halo -- galaxies: Magellanic Clouds -- stars: abundances -- stars: distances -- stars: early-type -- stars: individual: HE 0437-5439

TravelPod Member ReviewsHotel Hari Piorko New Delhi
Nice place to stay with very comfy beds. Has everything you need and the staff are all very helpful.
This review is the subjective opinion of a TravelPod member and not of TravelPod.com.
I visited New Delhi and stayed at Hotel Hari Piorko in April of 2015. It's located in a market that may have been a little questionable at night, but was vibrant and lively during the day. This is a budget hotel, but deserves to be the #34 hotel in New Delhi. It is not luxurious by any stretch, but it is clean and air conditioned. The staff is friendly and attentive. The doorman is a great guy. Everyone working there was knowledgeable and helpful. I would recommend this hotel to anyone. It was truly a pleasant week-long stay.

Has everything you need and more. Great choice.Close to railway station, plenty of street cafes, shops and life to see. Hotel clean, large, rooms comfortable and clean, staff helpful
This review is the subjective opinion of a TravelPod member and not of TravelPod.com.
Nice and safe. They are doing construction in the lobby, so it can be a bit loud at times. Internet is slow. Everything could be cleaner, but it is definitely clean enough. The bed is very comfortable, as are the pillows. You may need to ask a few times for an extra pillow or toilet paper, but all in all, a fine place to stay right in the heart of it all.
This review is the subjective opinion of a TravelPod member and not of TravelPod.com.
Good and most important, safe Hotel for people on a budget. Nice for women solo travelers. Staff is really friendly and helpful. Delicious and safe food at the restaurant. Near a huge market in the middle of the action, and steps away from The Railway which is really convenient if you plan to travel India by train. Rooms are really basic but enough for a stay. Internet.....hmmm very poor signal everywhere but sometimes works!! I was in May and would come back but hey!! official pictures do not tell the truth and bathroom does need clean up detail in walls, toilet, trash can, and windows. Furniture was dusty, Bed sheets and towels would definitely come up cleaner after a whitening laundry, and walls need to be painted. bring wour own towel when coming to this and in general to India's budget hotels.

Decent and budget hotel (this is not a hostel or cheap/crummy place), close to New Delhi Railway and many bazaars. Rooms were fairly clean. Beware of spiders and bring flip flips for the showers and extra toilet paper. Overall, would recommend to first-time visitors.

TripAdvisor Reviews Hotel Hari Piorko New Delhi
Travel Blogs from New Delhi
Just waking up after my first night back in Delhi! The plane rides went smooth, I really liked Lufthansa airlines they hooked it up with baileys on my coffee throughout our flight from Denver to Munich which was clutch. I also liked the airplane food for the most part!! Online I requested veg meals for our flights Which was a good idea-- we got …
Delhi think I'm not in Kansas anymore...
... bread and coffee or tea. We were very hungry as we only finally stopped for lunch at 2pm.
It was a long first day of touring so we again just ate at the hotel cafe (our guide Laxman also mentioned that there are no good cafes near our hotel). We have to get up at 6:30 am tomorrow morning to check out and head to Jaipur so no late night activities for us. Jaipur is suppose to be quite beautiful compared to Delhi so looking forward to tomorrow.
Delhi, our last stop in India
... after a while. The actual body pat-down is quite quick. Our first trip experience is a piece of cake. The train arrives half-full; we hop straight on, then off for the line transfer at New Delhi Railway station. Trace the fairly long route to the Airport Line, only to find our tourist card won't work on it, and it costs 80 Rupees, so we would need another ticket or token to get there. Typically distances out that far cost ...

ProtectWindowsManager.exe resembles an adware infection because once it settles down in your System hard-disk, you would notice a sudden increase in the commercial ads bombarding on your computer screen. It promotes programs that are misleading and execute tricks to cheat the users. It is a malware but unfortunately it get bypass by the security application because it files contains legitimate .exe extension. When you open the System files location, you would notice this particular file but when you try to uninstall it then an error message will appear stating that Windows can remove it because it is an important System file.
ProtectWindowsManager.exe states its description as a security product file but unfortunately it is potentially unwanted program that contains so many additional malware attachments with it. This vermin is compatible with all the popular Windows PC and popular browsers. After this malware intrusion, the security setting is exploited and its vulnerabilities are exposed for additional malware attachments. It could even corrupt the important registries and System files and thus the overall CPU performance gets very sluggish.
The process run by ProtectWindowsManager.exe is totally non-vital. Additionally, it allows cyber criminals to attack the targeted PC as it exposes the security vulnerabilities. It is quite difficult to eliminate such suspicious .exe files but this doesn't means that you should keep it in your PC. Do take the early steps and opt for an automatic removal tool in order to get rid of it easily.

Hi All
I have convinced one of our clients to start using spiceworks the problem is that the managing director wants to see a demo of the program running before he lets them go ahead and start using it. I am confident that I can sell the Idea to him just by showing him the system we use in our company but I was wondering if there were any demos of how you would use the helpdesk features? This would really help me get it all across to them!
Thanks in advance!

Somewhere in history, flight became the chosen form of travel. For obvious reasons it's the favoured form for many people. I recall seeing on the Internet, images of how flying used to be. The romanticism of flying; the dress code for on board adventures, the meals that were prepared and the luxurious interior of the plane when spaciousness was the norm. Unfortunately these ...

We have just received a message from Holland America to say there may be transport strikes in Rome on Tuesday when we leave to go to the port, affecting buses, trams and the metro!!

There was quite a few of those things where you put your head in the hole and it makes a picture. We then went on a 1800 steam train. So much smoke came out of the engine.

I just thought I would let my DC family know that my wife and I have just begun firming up our 1-4yr plan to sell/donate all our "non-essential" possessions and hit the road with our two children as a full-time family.
I was just wondering if there are any other RVers or Rver wannabes on this forum?
Please speak up and give a shout out!

Got a 10 foot slide-in truck camper really love the freedom, never a worry about finding a place to stay, when on the road (unless there is a local ordnance against it) you can over-night at any Walmart. We also love roaming the public lands out west (Colorado, Wyoming, Montana, the Dakotas) spend the night anywhere you find a flat spot, below is in the Bighorn mountains in NE Wyoming @ 9,000 feet, there is no other type of RV that could get there.
When in the public lands I always travel "heavy"; 38 snubby, 5" double stack .45, 10mm, Rem 1100 riot-gun, AR-15 shortie, Rem 700 .22-250 and sometimes the M1-A.
I am prepping the camper now to go to the spring Knob Creek machine-gun shoot, will roll in Thursday afternoon and spend Fri-Sat-Sun with the biggest gun nuts in the country

If I didn't have two growing younguns, that's the way I'd do it!
When the wife & I were dating (1986) we did a trek out West. One night after driving across northern Wyoming on 14, I got tired and it got foggy so I pulled over at a "pullout".
When I woke up, I saw one of the most beautiful sunrises I've ever seen. (Since that morning, I've been wanting to full-time it.)
There is one question I like to ask; and that's about the CC permits you have and what I may need to know about "firearm" carry & possession oo/in the public lands, parks, etc.

If you ever feel like sharing a little wisdom, or if you have a blog please drop me a PM. (I need all the help and encouragement I can get.)
Parking in most locations will cost you a lot more than it did a few years ago. I'm talking about campgrounds, not the wilderness pullouts.

Kathie Balonis will be remembered by her parents as a wonderful, sweet person who was excited about life. She was only 24 years-old a the time of her death, some four years ago. Balonis was murdered in her New Braunfels Oaks Apartments. The person accused of her murder is Jack Warren Davis, who was recently released from jail on a $50,000 bond. The Balonis family has said they cannot understand why District Court Judge Charles Ramsay decided to reduce Davis* bond. "I cannot comprehend how Judge Runny could lower the bond,** arid KatMe's mother, Louise Balonis. "Is he sending the menage to the leat of the United -Strath* if they want to commit horrible, crimes, they can send their criminals down to Texas? They can do the crime and we'll send them back home." Davis was convicted of Kathie's murder in 1990. However, his conviction wk overturned by the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals in Austin. He is currently being represented by Houston attorney Stanley Schneider. Davis* guilt has been thrown into doubt now that his attorney has questioned the validity af serology teals conducted by Fred Zain, who worked at the Bexar County Medical Examiner*! Office when the death took place. Zain worked the Balonis evidence and testified in Davis* trial. However, the Balonis family say they have no doubt that Jack Davis is the man who murdered their daughter. "He looks like an ordinary person. You can put a venomous snake in an ordinary box and put a lid on it but when the lid is taken off, you'll know what's in that box,** said Louise. "Kathie had to die for us to know.

"He said he only went there onetime." The Balonis family also said they believe the added media attention concerning the case is deliberate. "Schneider ii pushing for every bit of media attention he can get," said Louise. "lf there is no defense, attorneys will play the system and court the media... The only thing egregious in this is what Schneider has done in the media," said Louise, referring to statements by Schneider that this is the most egregious case he has ever worked with. "He has to know Davis is guilty. I haven't heard him proclaim Davis' innocence in the media. He's always talking about other things," said Louise. "The media keeps talking about whether or not the case will go back to trial. They keep talking about the controversy with Zain," she said. Kathie had worked as a school teacher for three years. "Kathk had a very inquisitive nature. That's why the became a school teacher," said Louise. "She was a very peaceable person." "The superintendent evaluated her in her first year of teaching. He said she wu such a remarkable teacher it seemed abe had been teaching for IO years already," said Louise. "She and the kids had a great rapport." "We would like to be with Kathie. It would be a great comfort. We will be some day. We know where Kathie is. She it in heaven," said Louise. In older to cope with their daughter's death, the Balonis family has become involved with the local group People Against Violent Crimes and they also work with Parents of Murdered Children in San Antonio. They said their other daughter, Karen, has also worked with people who have lost family members. "This has changed our lives. Our lives will never be the same.

Patient Arsenal beat Dortmund to take group lead
DORTMUND, Germany (Reuters) - An Aaron Ramsey header gave patient Arsenal an important 1-0 win at last season's runners-up Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League on Wednesday, allowing them to take control of Group F with two games left to play.
Arsenal, who avenged a 2-1 loss to Dortmund in London last month, bided their time for more than an hour in pouring rain, soaking up Dortmund attacks before striking with their first effort on goal.
The visitors scored against the run of play with Wales international Ramsey sneaking into the box to head home in the 62nd minute.
The result lifts Arsenal to nine points from four games, ahead on goal difference of Napoli who beat Olympique Marseille 3-2. Dortmund drop to third on six.
"We were mature in our tactics, we made no major mistakes and had patience," Arsenal coach Arsene Wenger told reporters.
"We had problems creating chances and we had a brief difficult period early in the second half but then we scored and were not so much under pressure."
The hosts, who until Wednesday had never lost at home to English opposition in seven contests, wasted half a dozen clear chances but failed to make their dominance count.
"Dortmund fought really well. We were lucky to have scored," said Wenger. "It was a bit like the first game in London where they had one shot in the second half and scored. This time it was us."
Both teams brought a solid track record to the game with Arsenal unbeaten for 14 games away from home and Dortmund having won eight out of eight at home this season, including the German Super Cup. Continued...

Jamaican singer Diana Rutherford has in the last years made a name for herself with some strong titles for French – nowadays resident in Jamaica – producer SherKhan, the man behind Perfect's stunning album 'French Connection'. She has also been produced by veteran Jamaican producer Philip "Fatis" Burrell.
Now she is headed to drop her debut album 'Ghetto Princess', where all tunes have been recorded together with SherKhan. The album has been preceded by the acoustic tune Rebel.
SherKhan and Diana Rutherford have been working together for five years, and one of the earliest titles was the R&B-flavored duet with Erup, You Mean the World to Me.
Since then she has voiced riddims such as Box Guitar and Sufferah as well as a single with Sizzla titled A New Day. These three, along with 13 more, are available on 'Ghetto Princess' that hit the streets in late June.

Chapter Six part twoMature
"You think it's a laughing matter when three people get kidnapped. Wake up miles away from home. And on top of that, find fucking blood bags in the fridge?!" Zoe let out a shaky breath when she finished, her hands trembling by her sides in tight fists.
"You done?" Rowan asked and Zoe snorted and turned to storm into the living area.
"Done? Fuck, if I had it my way I'd be doing more than yelling, dick," she muttered as she walked. Rowan's eyes narrowed a little at the insult but otherwise let I be. Something Glenn was grateful for, he had a feeling he wouldn't be able to take Rowan in a fair fight.
"Follow me, Caric's ready to explain," Rowan said. Glenn didn't hesitate, neither did Zoe after a few seconds of glaring at Rowan's back Wendy on the other hand wavered at the doorway.
"Don't worry. We may dislike you, but we don't want to see you dead," Glenn said. Wendy didn't react with her usual derision, instead she nodded a silent thanks and began following. Her eyes scanning the empty fields and dark woods to the far side of them. They found themselves entering what seemed to be the same tent as last night, only the mess of costumes and other props were tidied away now. Mirabella splayed out on the sofa, the little dove she called Rose happily sitting on her shoulder. They also could now see the desk and chair that had been covered in stuff properly. If Glenn was unsure if Caric ran the carnival he was reassured of the fact, because Caric looked particularly business-like as he shuffled through papers.
"Rowan, close the tent and make it clear we're not to be disturbed," Caric said, not looking up from what he was reading. Rowan left, closing the flap behind him. When he didn't return Glenn figured he really was talking to the others. Rose made a little tweet sound and flew across to rest on Zoe's shoulder. The bird's delicate eyes studying her features.
"Hi, again," Zoe said, the first genuine smile in hours taking form.
"Right, sit," Caric ordered, standing up. Zoe raised an eyebrow, but sat in the space left on the sofa. Mira drew her knees up so Glenn could squeeze between them.
"The probability that you're my children is high. I recall your mother and Rose sensed my essence within you," Caric explained.
"Essence? You mean genes? How does a bird do that?" Zoe interrupted. Caric's nostrils flared slightly, showing it bothered him.
"Yes, she can. Animals have always been hypersensitive with my kind," Caric replied. Zoe raised an eyebrow.
"You're kind?" Zoe asked.
"There have been various terms for us throughout history, each culture giving it's own name. I believe the current word that most closely describes us is vampire," Caric replied. Glenn laughed.
"You're kidding, right?" he said, moving to cover his mouth in an attempt to stop the giggles. Caric replied with a serious expression.
"I don't kid boy," he said.
"Is Rowan one too?" Zoe asked.
"Yes, but not the same as me," Caric replied. Glenn stood up and shook his head.
"Okay. Let's say the crazy story is true, what does that make us? Because you - a guy we've never met before in our whole lives - is claiming to be our dad. So what are we then? Half-vamps or something?" Glenn asked, throwing hands gestures about as he spoke.
"As I said, me and Rowan are different kinds of vampire. I'm an ancient. So you will remain human," Caric said. Glenn raised an eyebrow, pushing for more information but he received none.
"So why are we here? I'm guessing it isn't any sudden paternal instinct on your part," Zoe said.
"Because, ancient vampires are somewhat rare. There are thirty of us in total, each with their own ability of some kind. Except me," Caric explained.

The provider and its escorts left Singapore on April eight, in accordance with an announcement from the Navy's Pacific Fleet. They had been ordered to go north to the Korean Peninsula in response to North Korean provocations, protection officers instructed CNN on the time.
Officers later stated the strike group, together with the 97,000-ton provider and its 60-plus plane, the guided-missile destroyers USS Wayne E. Meyer and USS Michael Murphy and the guided-missile cruiser USS Lake Champlain would take part in naval workout routines with the Australian navy south of Singapore earlier than heading to Korea.
However the announcement that the Vinson had been dispatched to Korea elevated tensions with Pyongyang, with its official Korean Central Information Company calling the provider's deployment "nothing however a reckless motion of aggression to irritate the tensions within the area."
US President Donald Trump added to the stress early final week by telling Fox Enterprise Information he was sending "an armada" of highly effective warships and submarines to waters off Korea.
However as of Saturday, the Vinson group was nowhere close to the area.
The US Navy doesn't formally affirm the whereabouts of its warships for safety causes. However pictures posted on the Navy's web site on Tuesday confirmed the Vinson and its escorts had been nonetheless within the Indian Ocean late final week.
And an image dated April 15 exhibits the Vinson within the Sunda Strait, which separates the Indonesian islands of Java and Sumatra.
The Sunda Strait is about three,300 miles (5,300 kilometers) from the Korean Peninsula. At most pace of about 35 mph, it might take the Vinson virtually 4 days to cowl that distance.

Eric Cole battles tee troubles to win Riviera Open at 13-under par.
ORMOND BEACH — Heading into the Riviera Open, Eric Cole was having trouble off the tee, which was leading to trouble posting decent scores.
The cozy, friendly confines of Riviera Country Club can be good for what's ailing a struggling golfer, as Cole learned this past weekend.
His 8-under-par 63 Sunday gave him a two-day total of 13-under 129, good for a one-shot victory over Brenden Ehlers.
"I hadn't been driving it too well, but this course is pretty forgiving," Cole said of the par-71 Riviera layout. "When I missed, I missed in good spots, and I got fortunate when I did miss."
Cole, 25-year-old son of former Tour golfers Bobby Cole and Laura Baugh, made Sunday's turn in 3-under 32 before closing with a 5-under 31 on the back, including a 12-foot birdie on the 18th.
Cole, who played at Orlando's Olympia High and Nova Southeastern University, earned $2,700 for the win.
"A lot of birdie holes out here," Cole said. "I think I was 15 when I first played this tournament, and I've loved it ever since. It's a very fun course."
Peter Campbell and Ty Harris tied for third at 11 under. Mark Bucek, who led after Saturday with a 62, shot 70 and tied for fifth at 10 under with Ken Staton, who was low among local professionals.
Two-time defending champ J.C. Horne (67-67) and PGA Tour player Matt Every (66-68), who finished 1-2 each of the past two years, both finished at 8 under.
Three-time Riviera Open winner Rod Perry shot 67-70 to finish at 5 under.

The Russian connection: See all our coverage | Read about our investigation
Frank Viviano wrote his first article for Mother Jones -- about Detroit's road to resurgence -- in 1980. Since then, as a Europe-based contributor to the magazine, Viviano has recounted his capture by Serbian irregulars; reported on the decline of the giant Czech steel mills; and unraveled the international web of the modern Mafia.
In these stories and others, Viviano has interpreted the enormous changes taking place in Europe. With the fall of communism, he writes, Eastern Europeans found a measure of freedom but lost the "grim cushion that protected them from...change." The end of the Cold War also undermined Western democracies that defined themselves in opposition to communism. Into the void left by declining nation-states have charged the separatists and criminals, bureaucrats and industrialists of Viviano's stories. "The nation-state," writes Viviano, "tried to pretend that tribal identity had been dispensed with -- that 'national character' could be a matter of invention and design. But the tribal map is being reasserted, and the tribal soldiers are wearing Levi's. They are moving away from the nation-state -- backward toward the tribal dawn and forward toward the 21st century at once."
I was in Eastern Turkey, covering the Kurdish civil war, when the break-in occurred. It was a professional job, much too professional to be explained by my only material loss: the disappearance of a cheap portable radio. The thieves had cut a neat hole in the rear shutter of the house I'd rented, two miles from the village of Terrasini in western Sicily. Then, just as neatly, they'd removed a pane of glass from the window and climbed in.
There was money in the bedroom closet, a wad of banknotes in several currencies that I keep around for unexpected assignments. My backup camera and a bag of lenses were in plain view on the desk; a laptop computer was on the shelf. Nothing was missing when I returned to the burgled house last February, except the $60 radio. The boom box could not have been the purpose of the break-in. It had to be about something else.
In Terrasini, people offered a hodgepodge of theories. It might have been amorous teenagers, using what they thought was an unoccupied summer retreat. That was what Signore M., my landlord, wanted to think. Sicilians live with their parents until they marry, often up to their 30s. "Nowhere to go except somebody's country house," Signore M. said. But I sensed he didn't really believe it, and as far as I could tell, my bed hadn't been disturbed. A pair of socks I'd left lying atop the blanket was still there.
More disconcerting was the possibility that my work for Mother Jones had attracted these visitors, and that they were a far cry from horny teenagers. That their intention wasn't to steal, but to intimidate. The likely stool pigeon was the Internet. Until very recently, American foreign correspondents could pass themselves off as something less threatening than journalists: I'd traveled as an "economic analyst" in China during the Tiananmen crackdown, a "historian" in Bosnia, a "hospital administrator" in Russia. But with the sudden rise of the Internet, everything I wrote could be read with a simple search under my name, or with a fishing expedition under a topic.
In the winter of 1996, an Internet search of the word "Mafia" listed "The New Mafia Order" (Mother Jones, May/June 1995) as number two in the top 10 sources on worldwide organized crime. Whatever pride I took in the listing was badly chilled by the hole in my rear window. Western Sicily is where the Cosa Nostra was born and grew up to preside over a global empire; Giovanni Falcone, the crusading anti-Mafia judge, had been assassinated in 1992 six miles from my country house. I had my own theory about the break-in, and it wasn't comforting. But there was no way to confirm it, except to wait. For another burglary. Or worse.
About a week later, I was on the road again, this time in Israel and the West Bank. Reporters carry their autobiographies on every journey (one reason why pure "objectivity" is an illusion); each assignment in a long career is a de facto summation of all of the assignments that precede it. I'd been in the business for 25 years when I arrived in Israel, but I had covered very few stories that so thoroughly summed up what I had encountered in a quarter century of wars, insurrections, coups d'état, and terrorist attacks. It was as though every dispatch I'd written had been shoved into a single, tragic frame.
It was the season of the suicide bombings in Israel. There were still pieces of flesh hanging in the trees of Jerusalem over the charred carcass of a bus; medical aides and rabbinical students were gently scraping them off for burial.
I decided to go to Ramallah, a West Bank city eight miles from Jerusalem. At least four of the suspected Palestinian bombers had been born there or educated at its university -- which was regarded by the Israeli authorities as a center of Hamas activity. Hamas is the radical Muslim group said to be responsible for the attacks. The university had been forcibly shut down by the Israeli Army the previous week, and security precautions were as intense as I had ever seen. The entire West Bank was cordoned off by the military, and hardly anyone made it past the checkpoints. My press card got me through to the West Bank. It didn't get me back into Israel.
An awful silence hung over the dry hills that separate Jerusalem from Ramallah and other Palestinian towns, the silence of people who know each other only as symbols. The Palestinians and Israelis were doomed to share the same land; they had no choice. Every Muslim suicide bomb on a Jewish bus, every mosque shot up by a Jewish extremist, shattered their common peace. Yet if you stood most Israelis next to most Palestinians, they were very hard to tell apart. There were the elegant noses, tawny skins, and tight curls you'd expect on both sides of the divide -- but also flamboyant redheads and deep blue eyes. Israelis, Palestinians: They put me in mind of the Serbs and Croats I'd written about for Mother Jones ("The Balkan Tribe," Jan./Feb. 1993), the Slovaks and the Czechs ("Ostrava," March/April 1994), the Catholic and Protestant Irish of Belfast. They were the embodiment of our collective end-of-century madness, the reduction of profound human commonality to a dialogue between hostile symbols.
But there was also a singular difference between Israel and the West Bank, and it was in this difference that the fearful power of symbols -- of the irrational, thinly disguised as the normal -- most struck me. A high proportion of the young soldiers guarding the roads that led back to Jerusalem were black, Ethiopian Jews who had emigrated to Israel. The Sephardic and Eastern European Jews in the army knew that border duty on the West Bank was an unrelieved hell, and they knew how to get transfers to other postings. The Ethiopians, however, were new to the tragedy that has beset these borders for three generations, and very raw. They could barely speak Hebrew, much less Arabic, and few were able to muster more than a sentence or two in a European language. As I tried to cross back into Israel at 9 p.m. on a stormy night, one of these kids stuck his Uzi into my gut, unsnapped the safety, and shoved me up against a concrete barrier. There was undisguised fear in his eyes. Fear of me. Fear of making a mistake.
Two hours passed before an Israeli lieutenant arrived, leaping from his jeep before the driver pulled to a full stop. He had his service revolver out -- a precaution that seemed redundant, as the Uzi was still pointed at my stomach, and there were half a dozen soldiers standing in a tight circle around me. He motioned them away, and asked in Hebrew to see my identity papers. I answered in English, as angrily as I dared under the circumstances: "This is my passport, and my goddamned press card. What the hell is going on here?"
The lieutenant was American-born, from Brooklyn, and instantly apologetic. "Jesus Christ, I guess we've really fucked up, haven't we?" Israeli officers, especially those born in Europe or Brooklyn, grasp the importance of a favorable press image in the United States.
The Ethiopian understood "Jesus Christ" and looked pained. I felt sorry for him.
The lieutenant personally walked me across the border, and flagged me down a ride into Jerusalem. "I've got to ask you," I said, "why did I scare that kid?"
"The beard," he answered immediately.
I have a closely trimmed beard, black and slightly curly. It was news to me that it might be regarded as dangerous. "Give me a break," I said. "Plenty of Jews wear beards."
"Not that kind, pal." He gestured at my face. "The Jews who have beards are either professors or Hasidim, and they keep them long and untrimmed. That's a Hamas beard you're wearing."
He sighed, turned his back, and walked away. What can you do with a reporter who is so out of touch with the language of symbols, with the only vocabulary Israelis and Palestinians share?
When I got back to Sicily, a relative of Signore M. called, a businessman who had befriended me. He said we needed to talk. We met in DiMaggio's Cafe, on the Terrasini village piazza. "About that break-in," he began. I had been right: Signore M. and his family never believed that teenagers burglarized the house. They had made inquiries, and the inquiries had reached the ears of people who might have been concerned about a reporter's presence.
As it turned out, these people were quite aware of the project I was working on, a book on a 19th-century ancestor who was killed in a vendetta. They wanted me to know that they had no objection to what I was doing -- so far. "They said they were not responsible for the robbery," Signore M.'s relative explained, "but they would find out who was."
A week later, the wife of a local carabiniere approached him. Police from the government's Ministry of the Interior had committed the burglary, she quietly told him. "They thought your friend was Giovanni Brusca."
Brusca was the most wanted fugitive in Italy, the Mafia don charged with triggering the bomb that killed Judge Falcone. He had been on the run ever since the assassination (the carabinieri eventually captured him this past summer), and at the time was widely believed to be hiding somewhere in western Sicily. When a mysterious man showed up in a country home that was seldom occupied in winter, the Interior Ministry had sent a team of its plumbers in to check.
I asked Signore M.'s relative why they had been so suspicious. My house wasn't the only one occupied this winter.
"The beard," he said. "Brusca's face is on posters everywhere in the country. They figure he's probably grown a beard."
In little over a month, my beard had caused me to be arrested as a suspected Muslim suicide bomber and mistaken for the most infamous assassin in the Cosa Nostra. It was a reminder, disquieting for all of its comedy, of the strange soil we inhabit at the end of this troubled century.

... just about come to the end of our little New England tour and have travelled through 6 states...at the moment we are in Newport, Rhode Island...home to some pretty rich folk and some serious boats!
The weather has been great, blue skies and sunny days so we have been blessed. Back to Boston tomorrow for a week then On to New York...
Cannon Fire
... and then we were off to do the Cliff Walk, a five kilometre coastal walk along the front of the cliffside mansions. It was an impossibly beautiful day, with the breakers breaking due to the swell from ex-hurricane Joaquin, and super light winds.
We drove back to Bellevue Ave shops, and stumbled across the International Tennis Hall of Fame, a little slice of England in the heart of Newport. I took the tour of the Hall of Fame, while Louise sat by the lawn tennis courts. ...
Leaf peeping
... almost on my knees to get to our first floor room. We went for a short walk around town - it is very cold and still raining - so we retreated to the Oyster Bar for a drink and diner - excellent. Oh JFK and Jackie got married at the church across the road from our guesthouse. Sighting: A lot of pleasure craft and yachts - never seen so many since leaving NY. Mileage: 134 ...
Motels, Mansions & Martha's Vineyard
... in a lifetime' food fest across the Atlantic.
So with food in bellies it was time to hunt down the Gingerbread Houses.
With no signs, clues or indications they somehow turned down an alleyway and there it was, the circular green with the Gingerbread Houses all around it.
Oh dear, the backpackers didn't like it - they didn't like it here one bit! Each ...
A dream comes true
Newport is costal town to the south of Boston which used to hold the one of
the most prestigious sailing races, the America Cup.
We had actually visited Newport previously on the trip on the way from
Providence. Tamsin showed us the wonderful cliff walk which is
nestled between the ocean and the mansions of Newport. These were
built by the super rich of the 20th century and are modelled on
English mansions ...

Detroit and St. Claire Rivers
I have sent this to the Cruising Board but with no response, so my apologies to those who have read it there. I hope to make my way from Lake Erie to the North Channel this summer and wonder if anyone who has travelled on the Detroit and St. Claire Rivers could comment on the ease of travelling on those rivers. Is current a problem when heading upstream? What is the average current on the rivers? Are there some spots that are particularly bad? I assume that the rivers are very heavily travelled by commercial Great Lakes shipping, and that this poses a serious danger to us little guys. Do those of you who travel on those rivers regularly have suggestions as to how to ease that danger? Obviously, keeping a sharp lookout is important, but are there other things that you guys suggest that might ease this danger a bit?
I''m grateful for anything suggestions or ideas that might make the voyage a bit safer and easier.

This is a reply I received on the same question. I think I have a more detailed reply at home. I will check tonight.
If you have enough crew to go round the clock, can make it from Cleveland to
the N/C in about 48 hours, give or take.
If you spent 10-12 hrs/day, takes about a week.
Takes 2 days to get to Metro Beach, another day to Port Huron, then another
3 days up the Mi side to Rogers or Mac City and then a day across.
Another 12-14 hr day from "Tub" to ? (forgot name, about 70 miles South and
past the Nuke Plant on the Canadian side), than another long day back to
Port Huron.
Stay well off shore and go straight in on the Canadian side, especially
around Pt Clarke.

Project DescriptionIn 1908, on the east bank of downtown Nashville's Cumberland River, Arthur Dyer erected a 6 story 5,000sf office building for his newly founded Nashville Bridge Company. This would be the first of many structures to be built for what would become known as NABRICO. Much later, construction of Nashville's new NFL stadium in the mid-1990's required the demolition of virtually all of the East Bank's industrial facilities. The only structure that was spared was the original 1908 NABRICO building along with two additions constructed in 1923 and 1965.
Now, as part of the greater Riverfront Redevelopment initiative, NABRICO has been renovated for use in the 21st Century. This initial phase primarily focused on bringing modern-day infrastructure and life-safety features to the structure as well as adding ground floor amenities for the adjacent park such as public restrooms, concessions and a park office.
The design concept has two deliberate components: 1) restore the architecture of the original structures and (2) through the new core addition necessitated by unusually small floor-plates, provide a symbolic icon recalling the lost heritage of the site.
Historically, NABRICO specialized in the construction of barges. Therefore, referencing the planer quality and materiality of the hull of a barge, the addition is formed and sheathed to acknowledge the site's heritage. With sculptural bold language befitting a public space, the intervention creates a landmark and offers a backdrop for public dialogue.
The project has now been certified LEED Platinum, receiving the most points for a Core and Shell project IN THE WORLD!
