Spider-Man And His Amazing Three Year Comeback

It's odd to think of AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #647 as the end of an era, when the Big Time creative reshuffle is pretty much the same editorial team as Brand New Day editing a creative team that consists of the longest-surviving member of the Brand New Day braintrust and a revolving art-team that consists of Humberto Ramos and some surviving Brand New Day artists. It's really more of "a shift into an only-slightly different era," in a lot of ways, but saying that doesn't really allow for 64-page finale issues like this one.
It's Good, I should say that now, but it's also not as good as BND at its best; there's too much of a sense of both, oddly, playing for time and rushing things, and a forced sense of occasion – Something that also plagued Mark Waid's "Origin of The Species" arc, I thought – and the result is something that's oddly unsatisfying despite all the different ingredients. One of the (unintended?) consequences it does have is making you realize how much writers like Fred Van Lente, Joe Kelly and Zeb Wells will be missed on the series, with their ability to balance making things seem fresh and also respectful of everything that's come before (Waid's talent on the series was something similar but different: The ability to use continuity in unexpected ways – I think Dan Slott, the new ongoing writer aims for somewhere between the two, but gets overwhelmed at times by the fact that he's working on a series that he clearly loves as a reader, and loses his nerve or lapses into fan service… even if he is the fan in question. Spider-Man brings out both the best and worst in him as a writer, which is both frustrating and exciting to see); their contributions are by far the best thing in the issue, surprising and silly and scary and sweet as needs be, showing off the versatility of the character.
(Waid's contribution, a one-page riff on the much-delayed Spider-Man musical, does manage to feature my favorite joke in the entire issue: "Fastest ticket lines on Broadway!" What can I say, I like the dumb/smart ones.)
The other thing that this issue makes you realize is how good BND has been for Spider-Man as a character, and as a series. Compare this to the JMS-era, and it's stunning to see how quickly the book has repopulated Spider-Man's supporting cast (and with mostly new creations!), and brought the tone back from the dark melodrama it was left to begin with; as much as BND was initially dismissed as retro, the three year run made changes that will hopefully stick as Big Time begins – I want to see more of Norah, Vin and Carlie, and Jonah as NYC Mayor, and Jonah Snr, and so on. It may not be the familiar characters – and I can't be the only one who notices that Harry Osborn is written out with the last issue of BND, just as he was written back in with the first, and after so much of the larger BND mythology revolved around him. Hopefully, he'll stay gone for a bit, to let the book move on – but Amazing Spider-Man has finally become the ensemble book it used to be, again, after far too many years of too many writers forgetting that part of its charm.
So, yeah. It's a good issue, and a weird capper to a three year run that started out weak but found its footing soon enough, and went on to make the mainstream MU version of the character the strongest he's been in more than a decade. As a prelude to Big Time next week, though, maybe it's a challenge: "We've built the book back up, Dan. Don't screw it up."

According to icv2.com, AMAZING SPIDER-MAN's two October issues sold just over 58,000 and just under 57,000 copies. In October 2007, the one issue of FRIENDLY NEIGHBORHOOD SPIDER-MAN on sale that month as part of ONE MORE DAY sold over 110 thousand copies. And immediately before ONE MORE DAY, the three monthly Spider-titles combined to sell over 200,000 copies a month.
None of which says anything about the quality of the last three years of AMAZING, but does demonstrate that comic book fans will walk away and not come back if you burn them badly enough.
Hey Graeme, I hope to see more of these series overviews like this and the Legion post.
Luke – It's been so long since I've posted here, there's a lot to catch up on, so you probably will…
… Whereas for myself and roughly 50,000 other readers, BND pretty much broke us of our Spider-Man buying habits, because we actually liked the growth and evolution and progression that the character had gone through during the years that you're so quick to dismiss. Fortunately, Joe Quesada has proven that it's perfectly acceptable for "creators" to trash 20 years' worth of stories to regress them to whatever point they wish, so I look forward to seeing a fan of the pre-retconned Spider-Man taking over Marvel in a few years and undoing everything that you've enjoyed and I've despised about the past three years.
If I'd never heard of Spider-Man before BND, and the past three years had been my only exposure to the character, I never would have become a fan, because I disliked everything about the idiotic personalities and plots that they gave him and his supporting cast. As it stands now, the character is all but dead to me.

Lately, Hoover and Dyson emptiness cleaners have taken the limelight, dispute almost which one of them makes the unsurpassed vacuity cleansing agent. But, quietly, and short a lot of fanfare, Electrolux has been redesigning its range, to carry you the record top rated emptiness store you can buy, and with the preliminary part of the Trilobite, Electrolux can justly maintain to be paid the record precocious vacuity formulation in the global.
Electrolux vacuum shop have been cleanup peoples' homes for umpteen old age. Today, Electrolux has large indefinite amount of unworried consumers around the world, and Electrolux emptiness cleaners charge per unit highly in some client reviews. But we don't recurrently perceive in the order of Electrolux vacuums in the constrict. But that's no bad item. While otherwise emptiness manufacturers reason around the qualities of their products, Electrolux has freshly got on kindly designing a new inventory of vacuums that hold out terrible cleanup power, no thing what sort of emptiness demand you have.
For instance, pocket the Electrolux Harmony Canister Vacuum; this is one of the quietest vacuum store on the flea market. The Harmony vacuum was designed from the showtime to quiet; it comes fitted next to overstuffed wheels, a powerful, sound-insulated centrifugal and a low-noise level nozzle. As capably as individual quiet, the Electrolux Harmony emptiness cleanser comes next to a HEPA H12 filter, so finished 99.97% of particulate matter and allergens kill time in the bag and not expelled hindermost out into the air.Post ads:

Electrolux also produce a top rated ammo vacuum: the Electrolux Oxygen3. The Oxygen3 vacuum preparation has been planned to eliminate, as noticeably as possible, any allergens that might be expelled spinal column out from the vacuum. In fact, the Electrolux Oxygen3 is fitting at holding dust and allergens that the Swedish Asthma and Allergy Association recommends the Electrolux air formulation Oxygen Z7030. Electrolux also receive the Oxygen3 vacuity in a smooth erect altered copy. The lone minus tenderloin to the Oxygen3 vertical vacuum cleanser is that it is a flyspeck on the lashing edge.
Also, if you're in the market for the good shoot vacuity you can judge the Electrolux Pronto emptiness. The Electrolux Pronto vacuum formulation is one of the supreme uncontrolled implement vacuums you can buy.
The world's best technically advanced vacuity cleansing agent in the international is the Electrolux Trilobite. The Trilobite cleans your horizontal surface all by itself; you conscionable electrical switch it on and distant it goes. The Trilobite has an onboard computing device that in fact learns the plan of your home, so that after a few uses, the Trilobite knows the record economical line to thieve when vacuuming your dwelling. If you change your furniture, the Trilobite learns give or take a few it and maps out a new major road. Other manufacturers declare to form a alike emotionless emptiness cleaner, but their machines just harm and next go around in several illogical direction; they don't have an aboard computing device similar the Trilobite. However, The Electrolux Trilobite doesn't travel cheap, in information it's very, tremendously expensive, so the middle consumer isn't active to be buying one anytime presently.Post ads:

Electrolux vacuum cleaners are a top rated service. When you buy an Electrolux vacuity you don't get any hype; what you get is a highly moral vacuity. They aren't perfect; the Electrolux uprights are heavier than different brands, the cudgel vacuum much costly than others and they may not have the cut limit neat looks of both. But Electrolux offers grand improvement at severely incisive prices with first-class after gross sales provision.

There is no need to precisely align the reader with the tag, so RFID data can be quickly and accurately captured – even on the most challenging items.The RFD5500 offers a combination of intuitive audible and visual cues to quickly guide a worker to the precise location of any desired item. As the device moves closer to a specific item, a tone beeps louder and faster, while a sliding graphical bar increases in size enabling mobile workers to quickly locate any individual item.By building on the enterprise mobile computers' bar code data capture capabilities, the RFD5500 offers dual data capture functionality in a single device. Mobile workers can locate products, read non-line-of-sight RFID data, and capture damaged and poor quality bar codes without interrupting workflows.The RFD5500 is supported with a comprehensive portfolio of services including Service from the Start Bronze, which provides coverage for normal wear and tear and a three-day repair turnaround time. Service from the Start with Advance Exchange Support provides advance replacement of devices requiring repair and coverage of accidental damage to internal and external components. These services help minimise equipment downtime and significantly reduce unforeseen repair expenses.Bob Sanders, senior vice president of data capture solutions at Motorola, said: "Motorola Solutions' new RFD5500 sled expands the industry's broadest RFID reader portfolio adding state-of-the-art RFID functionality to the bar code scanning capability already available in the MC55, MC65 and MC67 mobile computers."By bundling two best-in-class data capture technologies in one accessory, businesses can now purchase and manage fewer devices helping improve productivity and lower their total cost of ownership."

Best Of :: Arts & Entertainment
If one of the goals of art is to make us look at our lives and our surroundings in new, unusual ways, then Lauren Bon's Metabolic Studio has already succeeded wildly. If you were up early and out on the streets of Burbank and Glendale last year, you might have seen Bon — an artist and architect and the granddaughter of Walter Annenberg — leading a team of 100 mules through town after traveling the entire length of the California Aqueduct, a project that simultaneously celebrated the centennial of the waterway's opening and raised questions about the interaction of nature, environment and technology. Bon's latest "action," titled Bending the River Back Into the City, is even more ambitious, as she and her staff are constructing a dam in the L.A. River to collect water for a giant, visually striking waterwheel, echoing the city's original water-delivery system and allowing "the currency of water to create social capital." —Falling James

In just two years, Christian Chavez has created an oasis of chill under the Sunset Boulevard bridge in Echo Park. Echoes Under Sunset is nothing like the Laugh Factory or the Comedy Store. No comic's friends laughing too much at his lame jokes, no two-drink minimum, no limits on obscenity or political incorrectness. Instead you'll find free entry, cheap drinks and an ethereal decor that feels like a sort of voodoo taqueria. The space used to be a Korean clothing business until Chavez rented it in 2012 and converted it, almost entirely with his own hands, into an art space. He experimented with an open-mic night, and local comics loved the intimate vibe so much that they started hanging out there all the time. Now there's an open-mic every weekday, among other high-profile comedy acts. "Comics like it because there's no rules," Chavez says. "Do whatever you want, just don't light my place on fire." —Isaac Simpson

If someone had told you 10 years ago that the brightest and funniest minds of our generation soon would be offering up free radio shows every week — which you could hear on your phone whenever you wanted — would you have believed him? In our opinion, the best podcast going is The Champs, hosted by Chappelle's Show co-creator Neal Brennan and comedian Moshe Kasher. The premise is a bit un-PC: The pair, who are white, interview almost exclusively black guests, drawn largely from the realms of television, movies, music and sports. But what could be an hour of face-palms almost always turns into something poignant, revealing and downright inspirational. The guests are often famous (Chris Rock, Blake Griffin, Questlove), but Brennan and Kasher frequently steal the show with their personal insights. Before your ears, Brennan comes to terms with the fact that he's an asshole, and Kasher realizes that his insane childhood has probably scarred him for life. It's as cathartic as it is funny. —Ben Westhoff
Located in an industrial area of Glassell Park, this unassuming-looking building originally housed a liquor distributor in the 1950s and '60s. It also functioned as a haberdashery, a fine-furniture distribution hub and a rental facility for production companies before becoming Keystone Art Space, which has been around for about two years. The 50,000-square-foot area is a collection of 60 rented artist studios for those working in numerous creative disciplines, from watercolorists, video-game designers and jewelers to woodworkers, welders, sculptors and collage artists. The massive building features classrooms, membership-based workshops for hobbyists, a full-scale gallery and even a decent-sized film/photography shooting space, complete with makeup and wardrobe areas. Already nearly all the workspaces are occupied, enabling the building's artists to practice, teach and exhibit their art in a communal setting. Keystone also is the headquarters of the Create L.A. nonprofit, which hosts free classes for community youth, priming the proverbial canvas for future generations of budding artists. —Tanja M. Laden

On a tree-lined hillside west of Santa Monica Airport, one resident has been dealing out of her garage — dealing art, that is. Emma Gray is a curator, editor and impresario who adores unconventional spaces, most recently Five Car Garage, an accurately named, surprisingly well-appointed structure in her alleyway. Previously belonging to a classic car aficionado, it's tricked out like a Chelsea gallery, with sealed concrete floors and wide roll-up doors. Gray doesn't so much represent artists as produce projects with them, joking, "I'm a gallery in denial, happy to provide a platform. Fuck convention." Her crew includes Hammer and Whitney Biennial artists and emerging talent, whom Gray asks for "impossible" ideas — fanciful, site-specific visions a proper gallery couldn't sell. The in-crowd has gotten with the program of afternoon receptions for shows such as David Hendren's elaborate, inconvenient mechanical sculptures, and Megan Daalder's upcoming small-audience "performance-sculpture." Address provided by appointment, and for events. —Shana Nys Dambrot

We didn't know we needed one until it came here. Velveteria is a velvet-painting museum curated by Caren Anderson and Carl Baldwin, who relocated from Portland, Oregon, to open their new space in Chinatown late last year. This storefront gallery displays about 500 paintings — Baldwin likes to say "about 420 wink wink" — cherry-picked from the couple's 3,000-piece collection, bringing a welcome note of eccentricity to the growing hip-ification of the neighborhood. "See the '60s on velvet: black power, JFK, Beatles, Stones, rock 'n' roll, Vietnam and tiki," screams the website, and it's all true — plus a plethora of unicorns, religious icons, Liberace and the Hall of Elvis. More than a hobby, Velveteria purports to make a serious study of the genre as interpreted around the world. Best of all is a special blacklight room, packed floor to ceiling with glowing works of art, where cushions are provided for your hanging-out pleasure, upholstered in (of course) zebra velvet. —Suzy Beal

Just recently Sony's Z5 smartphones created a flurry at IFA in Berlin for their powerful 23MP cameras, a resolution rarely touched upon by phone makers and making us wonder if spending on digital cameras makes sense anymore.
However, Canon just announced who's the boss by revealing a sensor that features a resolution more than ten times the one featured by Sony's latest flagships.
The new 250MP APS-H CMOS sensor features a mind boggling resolution of 19,580 x 12,600 pixels, just enough for you to zoom in and count an ant's feet as it walks through your neighbour's roof. If that isn't enough, it'll make you read the markings on an airplane flying 18 kilometres away!
Both Sony and Canon are Japanese corporations, by the way.
As for the sensor, the presence of thousands of pixels doesn't in any way add any noise to the resulting images. The sensor can processes as much as 1.25 billion pixels a second and can process high resolution videos that are thirty times sharper than 4k videos. Even if it is on paper, it's unlikely our naked eyes will be able to discern the difference as much as Canon intends them to do.
However, the video capturing feature could be more apt for commercial or official use. Canon says that the sensor can help with "specialized surveillance and crime prevention tools, ultra-high-resolution measuring instruments and other industrial equipment, and the field of visual expression."
Even so, the technology now exists and if you can afford it, smartphone cameras would mean no more than mere binoculars to you in future.

Maybe I'm cheap, but if I spend $15 on stockings, I want more than one wear. I bought three pairs, worn two and both ripped open at the crotch. CC, stop selling these - you are ripping people off.
Horrible! they are so thin and fragile. I put the on and within an hour they had ripped. So disappointing as they are not cheap!
Awful! Wore them for the first time today and will not wear them again. Pulls in the tights and loud swish when I walk (never had that with previous pair). Quality is so disappointing for the price.
I bought 5 of these in prep for Summer/Spring. I've got a pair of the 80D ones and thought I'd fall in love with these too. Put one on and it ripped. So fragile and disappointed.
Oh dear...these ripped as soon as I put them on.They were the right size, but I didn't even get one wear out of them :( Stockings from previous years were amazing, disappointed in these.
Tights fit good, but are Disappointingly fragile! The toes aren't reinforced, so on the second wear holes started - even with short toe nails! Shame really!! Won't buy them again unless on sale.

"A vital new poet in the Polish language."-- Adam Zagajewski Tomasz Rozycki's sixth book seems like nothing if not an attempt to grapple with Elizabeth Bishop's question, "Should we have stayed at home and thought of here?" But for Rozycki questions of travel and foreignness are never separate from those of history--personal history, political and national history, the history of things and places and trauma. "Coffee and Cigarettes" When I began to write, I didn't know that poems would transform me, make my skin translucent, I'd become a weary ghost who, sleepless, roams the streets as if to ride a high till coming down, then go to bed with rabid dawn. But light would find me still out wandering and dropping in on friends, flat broke, a louse, a varmint, summoned by your nakedness or even just your sighing. And honey, how was I to know what all these dumb poems would make of me, that you would summon me to life, and thanks to you I would become the visible, in bed beside you, waiting till you fall asleep. Tomasz Rozycki has published six books of poetry, including The Forgotten Keys, winner of the Koscielski Prize. He has been nominated twice for the Nike Prize, Poland's most important literary award. He lives in his hometown, Opole, with his wife and two children. Mira Rosenthal has received NEA and Fulbright grants and held fellowships at the MacDowell Colony and the Vermont Studio Center. Her poetry has appeared in journals such as Ploughshares, The American Poetry Review, Slate, and the Notre Dame Review.

Excerpt from Bulletin of the Lloyd Library: Of Botany, Pharamacy and Materia Medica Was the son of an Episcopal clergyman, Rev. Thomas Barton, and born in the village of Lancaster, Pennsylvania, February lo, 1766. His mother, who was the sister of the well-known astronomer, David Rittenhouse, died when be attained the age of eight years, and his father died when he was but fourteen, so that at a very early date young Barton was debarred parental care and training. His father had planned to take a trip to Europe, but died before sailing. A few years previous to leaving Lancaster, he placed his younger children, the subject of this sketch among them, with a friend in the country near the village. The love of nature, so marked in after years, was the result of his village and country life, and it is probable that this bent was furthered both by inheritance and by instruction from his father, who inclined to the study of Natural History. This is made evident from the fact that the father was a member of the American Philosophical Society, and corresponded with Linnaeus on botanical subjects, as well as that he possessed, according to his son, a "fine collection of North American minerals, which was made by my father near forty years ago, at a time when he paid more attention to this part of natural history than, so far as I know, any other person in the colonies." Young Barton developed a love for drawing at an early age, and maintained the accomplishment in after life, even becoming skilled at etching. It is said that his love of drawing and much of his instruction in the art was acquired from Major André, who was a prisoner in Lancaster. He was very exacting in this direction, insisting that the illustrations for his books be precise and true to nature, forbidding any attempt at display by the "artist for artistic effect." In the spring of 1780 young Barton and one of his brothers were placed in an academy at York, Pa., where he gave his attention for two years to classical studies. At the expiration of this time his elder brother, who lived in Philadelphia, took him to his home, and, during this period he attended the College of Philadelphia, which directed him towards medicine. In 1884, when eighteen years of age, he selected as a preceptor the well-known physician, Dr. William Shippen, and made a start in his life work. Not content with medical lore derived from books, all of which at that date came from Europe, he gave his attention to the investigation of American productions. With this object in view he accompanied (1785) the commission of which his uncle, Mr. Rittenhouse, was a member, in its work of running the western boundary of Pennsylvania.

Nathan Hale Brandeis University Press
Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna
Few Americans know much more about Nathan Hale than his famous last words: "I only regret that I have one life left to give for my country." But who was the real Nathan Hale? M. William Phelps charts the life of this famed patriot and Connecticut's state hero, following Hale's rural childhood, his education at Yale, and his work as a schoolteacher. Even in his brief career, he distinguished himself by offering formal lessons to young women. Like many young Americans, he was soon drawn into the colonies' war for independence and became a captain in Washington's army. When the general was in need of a spy, Hale willingly rose to the challenge, bravely sacrificing his life for the sake of American liberty. Using Hale's own journals and letters as well as testimonies from his friends and contemporaries, Phelps depicts the Revolution as it was seen from the ground. From the confrontation in Boston to the battle for New York City, readers experience what life was like for an ordinary soldier in the struggling Continental Army. In this impressive, well-researched biography, Phelps separates historical fact from long-standing myth to reveal the truth about Nathan Hale, a young man who deserves to be remembered as an original American patriot.

Address of the Atlanta Register to the People of the Confederate States Forgotten Books
Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna
Excerpt from Address of the Atlanta Register to the People of the Confederate States: One Dollar Per Copy A great principle is not an invention, not a discovery, not a creation. It is a revelation - the thought of God communicated to man; and as He pleases, at different intervals, page after page, chapter after chapter, are added to those Providential Scriptures, which, like the Bible to the Christian, form the text-book for earthly faith and practice. The nature of such a principle renders it supreme. Invested with supremacy, it subordinates all other principles to itself, infuses into them its vitality, and reigns as sovereign in the world of thought Rule it will, rule it must, because Almighty God is in it. Such a principle is the sovereignty of the people. But, while we are Republicans, hereditary, organic Republicans, let your enemies understand, my countrymen, that you are towards them and their barbarian Democracy, an aristocracy in arms. The true cavalier blood flows in your veins, the true cavalier spirit throbs in your arteries, and as long as veins and arteries reciprocate each other's office, so long will you show the majestic bearing that now confronts your adversaries. This blood, this spirit, makes you an unit. Nor can you be otherwise than you are. Brutes lose their instincts; men, never. It is this instinct that your savage enemies are fighting. They know its power. "Power, did I say!" 'Tis not a power, but a force. Your enemies remember its history, its jealousy of Federal authority, its sacramental fidelity to conviction. Sagacious enough to foresee how this instinct, embodying itself in the only true conception of American Liberty, must permeate this continent - how propagative its intense vitality - how resist less its subtle and electric sympathy, they have deemed no expenditure of treasure too costly, no volume of life too large, no energy too titanic, no carnival of death too horrible, if they can but crush its mighty strength. But in conformity with the victorious purposes of this revolution, Providence has long been preparing you by a series of events stretching from the Jamestown of 1607 to the Richmond of 1864, for that unity of sentiment, will and prowess, which you now display. Such a sublime spectacle the world never beheld. Eight millions of people stand ready to be eight millions of martyrs. France in the days of the great Revolution had her La Vendee. The dynasty of Cromwell had Charles the Second in waiting for the hour of reaction; while in the Revolution of 1688, such was the division of opinion and feeling in England, and so eagerly was it fostered by France, that William could not rely upon his own subjects to furnish means for supporting his Government. Not so with us. The unity evinced in this Revolution is more remarkable than the Revolution itself; nor should we regard it as a mere feature, but as an internal principle of life, which, called long since into being and constantly nourished by the resources of accumulating energy, has entered finally on its magnificent work. Do not overlook this cardinal fact. Do not misapprehend its nature and bearings. It is not a fortunate accident, nor a lucky circumstance, but a genuine historical result. To comprehend the import of this unity, you must not simply study the political and social events, which, during two centuries, have transpired on this hemisphere. These events themselves were historic results, links in that chain of unity which now binds you so firmly together. The original charters under which the American colonies were settled the physical geography of our section of the continent; the peculiarities of blood, temperament and habits; these are the sources to which this unity must be traced. Nor must you fail to notice that Southern unity has been a fundamental fact in the entire career of American civilization. But for its energetic activity, the incipie

Lawmakers Get Grubman E-MailSep 10, 2002 | USA Today
Salomon Smith Barney on Monday turned over to a congressional committee copies of e-mail and correspondence between the firm's former telecom analyst, Jack Grubman, and executives at Global Crossing.
The House Financial Services Committee has initiated a broad investigation into conflicts of interest on Wall Street and has requested similar documents from Goldman Sachs and Credit Suisse First Boston. The committee also wants to know if the firms doled out shares in hot new Internet companies as a way to attract investment-banking business.
During the Internet boom, stock in initial public offerings often shot through the roof in the first days of trading, allowing early shareholders to turn a quick profit.
Salomon, a division of Citigroup, has already handed over its records about IPO shares the firm sold to executives and directors at WorldCom.
WorldCom and Global Crossing, which are operating under bankruptcy-court protection, are being investigated by the Justice Department ( news - web sites).
Salomon is expected to produce the documents pertaining to the IPO shares received by Global Crossing executives but only after the committee issues a subpoena. Salomon has maintained that it can't hand over the information without a subpoena because of client confidentiality laws.
Nevertheless, the congressional investigation still presents a formidable challenge for Charles Prince, 52, who was named to head Salomon on Sunday. Prince replaces Michael Carpenter, who will oversee Citigroup's investment portfolio.
With all of Salomon's regulatory and legal issues -- the firm also is being sued for some of its dealings with fallen energy giant Enron -- an executive like Prince makes sense, industry analysts say. Prince was Citigroup's general counsel and most recently its chief operating officer.
Robert Rubin, former Treasury secretary and the current chairman of the executive committee for Citigroup's board, will also be more involved in running Salomon.
In announcing the management shakeup, Citigroup Chairman Sandy Weill said, ''As a result of recent events, we have recognized that we need to re-examine our business practices and make appropriate changes. There are certain industry practices that we should all be concerned about, and although we have found nothing illegal, looking back, we can see that certain of our activities do not reflect the way we believe business should be done. That should never be the case, and I am sorry for that.''
Grubman quit Salomon last month, saying he couldn't work in the ''current climate of criticism.''

The South African sprinter is incredibly charming and popular but once he starts winning, his prosthetic limbs and their perceived advantages will come in question.
Olympics: Oscar Pistorius has made a compelling case
Oscar Pistorius is brave, articulate, polite, polished, handsome and funny. He does not play the victim and never complains. Those reasons and more are why his lifelong struggles to become an Olympian are so celebrated.
But what if he actually won?
How many of the cheers that routinely greet the 25-year-old double-amputee would be stifled at the finish line, replaced by gasps, grumbling, or worse? How many of those athletes who treat the South African as "just another guy" in the Olympic village would feel differently if he started beating them or their countrymen?
How many would mutter under their breath afterward: "Of course he won. Look at what he's using for legs."
Pistorius, who has carved out a second career charming critics with sharp humour, does not begin his turn on the stage until tomorrow's 400-metre qualifying heats, followed by qualifying heats next week as part of South Africa's 4x400 relay team.
But make no mistake: Pistorius is already a star. His packed introductory news conference had barely begun when he told a story of being rushed off to school with his older brother and sister.
"My mother said to us one morning, 'Carl, you put on your shoes, and Oscar, you put on your prosthetic legs.' And that was the last we heard of it. I didn't grow up thinking I had a disability," he said. "I grew up thinking I had different shoes."
As the laughs cascaded toward the stage, he grinned, then reached up and adjusted the sunglasses perched on his head. Those seemed like a curious fashion accessory for someone bathed in the spotlights of an auditorium, until you learned they were provided by one of his several top-flight sponsors.
So are Pistorius's prosthetics, though he is much less likely to tout their benefits. Downplaying them, in fact, is the central argument in his long-running battle to compete against able-bodied athletes.
Pistorius was born without a fibula in each leg - the slender bone that runs from below the knee down to the ankle. Both legs were amputated below the knee before he was a year old. Barely six months later, he learned to get around on prosthetic legs and was soon playing sports ranging from wrestling to rugby at school before switching to athletics.
Three weeks after his first training session, Pistorius won a high school 100m race in 11.72 seconds, faster than the Paralympic world record at the time. At the 2004 Paralympics in Athens later the same summer, he won gold at 200m and bronze in the 100m. The following March, he finished sixth in the 400m against able-bodied runners at the South African Championships, prompting him to petition the IAAF, track's governing body, for more chances against the best.
Nearly three years passed before Pistorius secured the right to do that. It came on the heels of a 2008 decision by the Swiss-based Court of Arbitration for Sport, which granted his appeal and cleared the way for him to take a real shot at the Olympics - so long as he competed using the same prostheses that were available to disabled athletes for nearly a dozen years by then.
For all the good feeling his effort will engender, even a bronze medal in the 400m is the longest of shots and despite his stated goal of reaching the semi-final, more than 20 men have run faster this year than Pistorius's best-ever time of 45.07.
But a medal for South Africa's 4x400 relay team could be within reach. Ever more likely perhaps, would be a medal at the 2016 Games.
"I should be at my peak then. Sprinters usually peak between 27 and 29, and I'll be 29 then," he said. "I may have a receding hairline already but I think we will have a lot of fun."
Pistorius has no idea whether that elusive win will ever come, only that handling success will be the easiest part of the trip.

I don't think they've stretched the Makoto arc too much, per se, but that they are trying to resolve it a bit too quickly. The pacing of the arc in general has been fabulous, but this episode it felt a bit stilted - probably because KyoAni are compressing it down to resolution by the end of the next episode. If they'd decided to move it until episode 12 (as in, the resolution I assume is coming) then this episode would no doubt have been paced a little better.
That said - nine for this one. It was hovering between eight and nine, but the final few lines by Makoto boosted it up rather severely. Teared me up a bit, at least, especially with the music playing...
Looking forward (in a dreading sense) to ~requiem~.

Dunno if anyone pointed this out already, but a red fox on average only lives 3-6 years. 10-12 years is pretty much the extreme range of their life span. Makoto human form should be a 100 year old woman , but considering the nature of the whole scenario and show I guess thats beside the point.

I shall start taking a different approach on my thoughts for each episode from now on.
I don't really see where the drops in quality are, but then again I've only gone through it once, so if anyone would care to point it out to me, please do. Storyline-wise...this episode is just about as different from the previous 8 episodes, as night is from day. If anything, I think of Episode 9 to be the true turning point of Kanon; knowing that there are plenty of sceptics out there who are watching Kanon for the sake of bashing it, I will now endeavour to state that if this episode doesn't make them change their minds about Kanon, then nothing ever will, and they should give it up and stop torturing us with their cynical words.
First off, I am a 20 year old male...and by the time of the Yuuichi-Amano bridge scene, I was already fighting hard to keep the tears from flooding. It is...just that powerful. Overall, all the scenes of Makoto's increasing degeneration was done wonderfully, and the more she declines, the harder is the emotional impact on me. Of course, the fact that I'm currently watching the Japanese drama serial <<One Liter of Tears>> only makes me all the more receptive to the slow, wrenching tragedy unfolding for Makoto, but fact remains is that this is the defining moment, for me. This is what Kanon is truly about.
Now that I'm done being all mushy, I'll focus on the one thing that I find lacking in this episode; once again, no Ayu or Shiori, and no Mai this time around, either. Actually, I think it's fine that Mai is not there; she'll just be stealing what's left of Mishio's role if she appeared anyway, and I don't particularly mind Shiori being absent either; she has totally no bearing on the Makoto arc as well, so her presence would merely be wasting time. However, it's the absence of Ayu I feel keenly the most; why, you ask me? Simply because Ayu had the chance to interact with Makoto back in Episode 4.
Now, I realize that more likely than not, their chance meeting is a purely KyoAni addition; it probably never happened in the game, and so by right, Ayu should not have that much of an impact on the Makoto arc either. However, from the way I see it, this part of Makoto's arc was a fantastic opportunity to do some fleshing out of Ayu's character on the side, but one that KyoAni failed to take advantage of in this episode. The way I see it, those two had actually drummed up a nice level of rapport in Episode 4, but KyoAni failed to build onto it further by having Ayu come in, and perhaps even assist Yuuichi in taking care of the ailing Makoto. If she had done so, it would have been a shining opportunity to showcase a more mature, more caring side of Ayu, and thus leave first-time viewers with another, and hopefully better impression of Ayu's character than the immature little girl the sceptics (not unreasonably, to be honest, at least as far as this series has run so far) think of her to be.
The other thing I might want to gripe about is Nayuki. It is not for nothing that some are starting to think that this time, Nayuki hardly looks like being part of the family this time; Yuuichi does most of the work in taking care of the convalescent Makoto, and Nayuki doesn't seem to be doing much in the way of assistance. Granted, it was the same thing in Toei Kanon; however, the one thing about the flawed structure of Toei's rendering of the Makoto arc is that it sometimes serve to cover up some other flaws it might otherwise have. In this case, the Makoto arc in Toei Kanon runs for a grand total of one episode; with such limited time, the rushed pacing makes one forget that Nayuki wasn't there. However, with the slower, somewhat more realistic pacing of KyoAni Kanon, Nayuki's general absence in most of the scenes is all the more jarring. At least the complicated looks she gives Yuuichi is very well done, but otherwise, her lack of doing much of anything makes her look like an outsider, of sorts.
So, with all these, what's my final score? 9 out of 10. Because, despite this episode's flaws, I am not blind to the fact that in the end, this episode achieved what it set out to do; focus on the main storyline of Makoto's decline, and doing it well.

Nah that's fine, you're entitled to hate it as much as we're entitled to love it. I personally hate Fruits Basket and it has an enormously popular following. I wish everyone would love this as much as I do but you can't please everyone all the time.

DOnt want to sound too sadistic here, but I was kenna of disappointed that makoto didnt die this ep. I brought out the tissues and was so ready to see her die, but in the end didnt. Makes me felt I wasted my time getting the tissue.
But the last part was good. Stirred quite a lot of emotions within me.

Clueless you and I ask the same questions. In Japanese mythology as foxes age they gain magical powers and their tails split. The most tails they can have is 9 which is an extremely magical and old fox. According to legend the Chinese emporer was once married to a fox, when it was revealed she was a fox she escaped.
I'm guessing that Makoto is either a kit for many many years or she's an adult fox that'll live for perhaps centuries, unless something were to get in her way. The fact that she's a young adult human is simply because it's Yuuichi's age not because it reflects her own age (which would only be 7 btw)

However, I will say this. Makoto's arc still has some things to go through before that wedding scene. Hmm-hmm. Do not think it'll rush immediately into that yet. You already saw a glimpse of the family getting a photo. That's one of the things I remember happening. At least from my hazy memory... I like to think of it as an overall overlook...

uhh...i think i should watched episode 8 more carefully cause i was confused for half the episode ehe....so it wasnt emotional at all for me..
but i thought it was well made and although people say it goes too fast, i dont really want to see makoto going thru this regression over too many episodes
btw i never saw the originals or played the game so i dont know the story
over all it was good but confusing for me.....

what a heartbreaking episode i dont remember being this upset in the original but as Makoto grew worse i was almost on the verge tears. Nyuuki acted as expected with the news of Makoto being a fox. Watching Yuuichi spend time with her was very heart warming. Yuuichi has a big heart which is one of the reason many things like this will be happening to him. Makoto slow decline would devestating on most people but Yuuichi keeps it together pretty well. Oh well i gave it a perfect 10 if im this upset over this arc im going to be crying like a baby when the rest of girls in Yuuichi life get their stories told

Overhyped former twinks aren't the only ones making a comeback this week! It has been confirmed by Paragon Men on Twitter that screen stud Leo Giamani is also returning to the gay porn scene. The onetime Falcon exclusive, who also worked for Randy Blue, Jake Cruise and others, has already done a photo shoot for the online studio and will appear in a new solo scene later this month. Giamani got his start in the industry in 2008 but retired about four years ago. He has remained popular among porn fans for his smoldering good looks and, of course, his gorgeous muscle body. While some were critical of Leo's skills as a performer, the "gay for pay" model won numerous awards, including GAYVN's Internet Performer of the Year. For more information on Giamani's comeback, visit Paragon Men.

sippy cups
I'm still breast feeding, and when my fiancee and I have our date nights, I pump and put it in a bottle. Lately James has been hating the bottle, so we put breast milk in a sippy cup and at first he hated it and now he's starting to like it.
That's awesome that James likes the sippy cup Karlea Eixenberger!
My kids would only take water and juice in the sippy cup. Milk flavored anything was turned down flat.

Time Out Ratings :<strong>Rating: </strong>3/5
"Mutate or die!" is the Green Goblin's threat-cum--rallying cry at Foxwoods Theatre, a sentiment that has likely become a grim mantra backstage at Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark. As most of the solar system knows, the legendarily woe-plagued show has had a long, costly and media-saturated journey from its disastrous first preview last November through agonizing weeks of injuries, technical snafus, cast departures and vicious gossip. The multipanel ka-pow! came in February as an avalanche of premature reviews from impatient critics declared the $60 million hybrid of rock, circus and comic-book visuals a zany mess at best and at worst—well, the worst musical in history. Something had to change.
Director and book cowriter Julie Taymor's departure in mid-March was followed by a month of reworking the story and action sequences—indications that the producers wanted to make Spider-Man more than a faulty, nonsensical tourist attraction. So here we are. Spider-Man has risen and fallen for 183 previews; its DNA has been diced and spliced; the ultimate mutation has occurred; and the monster is frozen in its final state. What can we say about this marvelously morphing musical?
It's a hell of a lot better. Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark is now a coherent and mostly enjoyable entertainment for children and adults, albeit one still saddled with Taymor's vestigial nuttiness and freshly dug plot holes all its own. On balance, playwright and comic-book writer Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa and director Philip Wm. McKinley deserve kudos for sifting through the turgid welter of arty pretension and narrative confusion that Taymor left behind in the spring, and finding a genuine story.
It helps to have seen Spider-Man 1.0 to appreciate how vastly improved the material is. Aguirre-Sacasa and McKinley eliminated the Geek Chorus, the idiotic framing device that allowed Taymor to muddle the Spider-Man origin story with her tacky gloss on the myth of Arachne (still intensely rendered by T.V. Carpio). And they reduced Arachne's role, making her more of a spirit guide to Peter Parker (Carney) than a supervillain and mystic love interest. They took the two strongest action sequences, which Taymor had foolishly stuffed into the first act, and spaced them evenly throughout the evening.
It's the cuts and additions to the book that have the strongest effect, though they didn't cost millions of dollars—or broken bones—to create. We finally care about these characters, their pain, their hopes. They are recognizably human, a condition that the previous Spider-Man palpably disdained.
Taymor's vision was perversely lacking in humor, romance and any love for humanity (specifically, New Yorkers), qualities that the first two Sam Raimi Spider-Man movies had in abundance. Taymor seemed almost contemptuous of shy but plucky science nerd Parker and the girl next door for whom he pines, Mary Jane Watson (Damiano). Taymor had so little interest in the Green Goblin, she killed him off in the overlong first act, and then made the second act all about her avatar, misunderstood artist Arachne—who inexplicably possessed godlike powers over technology and perception.
Junking all that indulgent, it-was-all-just-a-dream hogwash, Aguirre-Sacasa smartly places Parker front and center at the beginning, so we establish an instant rapport with him. Elsewhere, the new book allows the characters to breathe through believable, more nuanced dialogue. Parker and Mary Jane have a spark of sexual chemistry. There's affection between reckless geneticist Osborn (Page) and his wife, Emily (Laura Beth Wells). All these deft rewrites give the characters a dimensionality that was depressingly absent in Taymor's joyless, pseudo-mythic attempt to give a comic-book adventure the heft of Greek tragedy.
But while you won't find yourself bored and bewildered at this Spider-Man, flaws stick out. At the end of the first act, as Parker is romancing Mary Jane with the jaunty tune "Picture This," Osborn is in the midst of a dangerously rushed experiment on himself. The sequence builds to an explosion that kills Emily and transforms Osborn into the Green Goblin. Parker sees the explosion from across the river (forced, I know) and leaves Mary Jane to investigate. The first act ends with Spidey swinging into the lab where, presumably, he will encounter the Goblin after intermission. But when the second act begins, Parker makes no mention of the explosion or what he thinks may have happened to Osborn (who, don't forget, is Parker's idol). The plot thread dangles.
Such narrative knots are less bothersome, however, than the score by Bono and the Edge, of which only half the songs are engaging on a musical or lyrical level. Several numbers could easily have been cut to reduce the 160-minute running time and allow for more narrative connective tissue. The best songs—"Rise Above," "If the World Should End" and "Boy Falls from the Sky"—are outnumbered by generic rockers with sloppy, vague lyrics.
So the final mutation of Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark is not a multidisciplinary breakthrough, as Taymor hoped; it's just a musical. Likewise, Peter Parker may have superpowers that let him fly around New York on spiderwebs, but at the end of the day, he's just a kid.
Foxwoods Theatre. Music and lyrics by Bono and the Edge. Book by Julie Taymor, Glen Berger and Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa. Dirs. Taymor and Philip Wm. McKinley. With Reeve Carney, Jennifer Damiano, Patrick Page. 2hrs 40mins. One intermission. Complete venue and ticket information

Its not my goal to be here. Nor do I wish the youths here. What I actually saw when I started holding the goals was a huge upgrade and that they would be learning in a real school.
But I don't cling to things that haven't passed, in our conscious understanding. They have already passed. The youths I see may be what they call indigo's coming in from starwars type realms, they keep opening gates. But I feel them as angel-ets or federation and light. So I already am interacting with future. Its just on this thread not sure what can be said, its not something we consciously in our earthsuits have gone through.
Some of what was given was along the lines that any humans falling or being less than they should, that respond to merely some retraining, its not something strongly dark in them, will be healed, helped, retrained. There is quite a project already in existence for bringing people who are ready, or the youths I'm dealing with, up to par.
Earth is not what I call home however, there are far better places waiting for us.
But until things occur, we can't know here, and even incoming information could be magnetizing our souls with our intentions so we yearn for something off track, something that takes longer than it should to reach the goals our souls have set.
Thats why SHFT may be something we need to reach for and work for if things don't materialize dec 21 2012.
But positive thoughts are like keys that open locked doors of information. You get downloads of it.
The Earth could've been such a Beautiful place, I mean it still IS, but could've been so much more if it hadn't been corrupted by so many evil souls.
And so many times on this thread where I knew the Creator was leading me to Think/Meditate on, I'd just say "help me, Lord" and it wasn't long after He flashed a Brilliant (I thought anyway) insight into my head. He's where there exists an Infinite wealth of knowledge, that if we just ask Him, He can reveal to us, with a good, sincere, thankful heart!

We live on many acres, actively garden, love being outdoors when weather permits, go on walks, and craft for entertainment. We have many toys and enjoy healthy snacks and homemade lunches.

We also enjoy going to the library and local mother child group events in our area. I earned a Bachelors degree many years ago and have current first aid/CPR.

Bangalore: Batsmen put up an insipid batting display as India was bundled out for paltry 74 in the T20 clash against Australia at MCG, Melbourne on Friday.
Team India tumbled like pack of cards as their batsmen succumbed to the questionable shots. Pathan top scored with 26 off 30 balls.
World champions narrowly averted setting a new record for lowest total ever in the ultra-abridged version having bettered Kenya by one run. Kenya was skittled out for 73 by New Zealand in T20 World Cup last Sept.
The Indians never recovered after an electrifying spell from new-ball pair Brett Lee and Nathan Bracken left the tourists on the skids at 20/4 in the fourth over.
Irfan Pathan, who made 26 from 30 balls, was the only batsman to reach double figures in a woeful exhibition of batting by the Indians, who managed just three boundaries for the innings and whose highest partnership was just 17.
All Aussie bowlers shared the spoils, with Bracken grabbing 3 for 11 and Adam Voges 2 for 5.
India, opting to bat first ,had a nightmarish of starts losing both the openers early in quick succession. Michael Clarke ran out Virender Sehwag with an exceptional piece of fielding.
After diving to his preferred left side, Clarke threw down the stumps at the non-striker's end with Sehwag well short of his ground. Gambhir followed his partner immediatly caught at mid-off of a drive off a slower one from Bracken.
The crowd which had come expecting fireworks with the bat instead saw them being detonated by the ball as Bracken and a fired up Lee rocked the Indian top order.
Bracken claimed the wickets of Gautam Gambhir and Robin Uthappa, while Lee unleashed a 155km/h thunderbolt of a full toss which castled Dinesh Karthik to uproot his off stump.
India, reeling at 20/4, was then forced to play conservatively in order to avoid being embarrassingly dismissed inside its allotted 20 overs.
Skipper Mahendra Dhoni, one of the most explosive batsmen in world cricket, characterised the sudden change in tempo of the match, taking eight balls to get off the mark.
But his heart rate would have gone through the roof after seeing Rohit Sharma bowled trying to swipe James Hopes into the Great Southern Stand in the seventh over.
The skipper departed five overs later, holing out in the deep to Lee to give David Hussey his first international wicket.
Any hope of the tail wagging for India evaporated when fiery pair Harbhajan Singh and Sreesanth departed in consecutive balls.
Brief Scores:
India 74 all out in 17.3 overs (Pathan 26; Bracken 3 for 11, Voges 2 for 5) Vs Australia.
