Rob Liefeld makes Grifter a real man of action
Rob Liefeld loves a good man of action.
The comic-book writer and artist has a natural affinity for them, even back in the late 1980s and early '90s when he was the original creative force behind Cable, Deadpool and others for Marvel Comics.
So it shouldn't come as a shock to any longtime Liefeld fan that the opening sequence of his first issue of DC Comics' Grifter series is right out of a James Bond flick: series star Cole Cash snowboarding down a mountain with aliens in hot pursuit.
"Honestly, that's the stuff going through my brain. I can turn this action up to 11," Liefeld says.
This month begins his runs as a writer on three DC books, starting with their ninth issues: Grifter and Deathstroke, which arrive Wednesday online and in comic shops, and The Savage Hawkman, out May 23. "These characters hit me right where I live," Liefeld adds.
Joined by writer Frank Tieri and artists Scott Clark and Dave Beaty, Liefeld is continuing the tales of the masked Grifter, a former soldier and con artist who's been on the run for eight issues and was recently hunted by his own brother. Issue 9 kicks off a new story line that will have Grifter discovering he's destined to play an important role in the upcoming war with the Daemonites, whether he likes it or not.
Liefeld might not have been there for the start of this Grifter series — Nathan Edmondson was writer for the first eight issues — but he was there when the character was born.
He recalls the early days of Image Comics, the fledgling publisher he founded 20 years ago this year with Jim Lee, now DC co-publisher, and other Marvel artists of the time such as Todd McFarlane and Marc Silvestri.
Liefeld and Lee would often send character sketches that each were working on through their fax machines, and he remembers how great a visual Grifter was when Lee created him for the Wildstorm book WildC.A.T.S.
"He brought out the best in all of us because we were always trying to keep up with Jim," says Liefeld, adding he jumped at the chance to "turn up the juice" on Grifter when he was offered the character by Bob Harras, the former Marvel editor in chief who now holds the same position at DC.
"When they called me, the first thing I assumed is I'm not the only guy they called so I better give a great audition."
For his take on the character, Liefeld is mixing elements of Bond and Jason Bourne with the sci-fi classic Logan's Run.
"Mystery drives the most popular characters in pop culture," he says. "But mystery without purpose is nothing. You can give somebody a mystery but if it's not driving every action that they do, then there's really no reason to take the ride."
Characters, allies and otherwise, will be appearing to tell Cole Cash that he can't dodge his destiny forever, and although he'll have a grasp on his true purpose by Issue 12, Liefeld says, then "we completely turn that upside down."
Guys like Luke Skywalker in Star Wars and Neo in The Matrix have had differing mind-sets in being told of their "chosen" statuses, but Liefeld sees Grifter as more akin to Moses. "God said, 'Hey, you're the chosen,' and he's like, 'Nah, no thanks. I'd rather not go there.' That's Grifter's initial reaction.
"By the end of the first four issues, he's seemingly right where everybody wants him to be and right where he wants to be so he can end it all and put it behind him, but he'll find out it's not that easy."
In the meantime, fans will find out more about the Daemonite War, the truth behind relationships Cole has had and the situation with his brother, and Cole himself will begin to realize his previously untapped powers and skills.
In making the book his own, Liefeld is adding parties to both sides of the conflict. He felt Grifter was lacking a strong female lead, so in Issue 9 he adds Niko, a striking woman of mystery. "She's a partner-in-crime," says Liefeld, who's also reaching back into old Wildstorm books and reintroducing the special-ops mainstay Deathblow into the DC Universe.
As for villains, Helspont — who has been seen in other DC series such as Superman — is the main Daemonite baddie that Grifter is headed toward, and Liefeld is introducing a few more.
One aspect he didn't like about the first eight issues of Grifter was the Daemonites themselves, saying they looked like "flying fetuses."
"On one cover, he's shooting floating pink fetus worms," Liefeld adds, "and you go, 'I'm not scared of these guys!' You have to be scared of the bad guy for the bad guy to make an impression."
So he made those aliens Daemonite scouts and will be inserting the "elite warrior class" before Issues 10 and 11 roll out with some proper supervillain heavy-hitters.
"I said to Bob, 'You remember all those bounty hunters that Vader rounded up to hunt down everybody in Star Wars? I need to be able to create that kind of cast with the Daemonites and build them out to be a force to be reckoned with,' " Liefeld says.
His first arc will catch fans up to where Grifter is now, but in the second he wants to build it up more and connect to other DC series. "You're going to see Grifter rubbing up against what I would call the pillars of the DC Universe."
As much as he loves a man of action, he also adores injecting new dynamics into series. Liefeld did so in his Marvel years, when he was given control of New Mutants in the late '80s instead of, say, Amazing Spider-Man or Uncanny X-Men.
"People forget what the New Mutants looked like for about three years," he recalls. "It was a chick dressed like Madonna, a guy with baggy pants, a giant talking bird that looked like Big Bird, and Warlock, who was always short-circuiting. Nothing about it screamed, 'You definitely want to put me in your collection along with the other X-books.'
"I thrive on remodeling. Nothing gets me more excited than a good remodel."
And DC is letting him run as wide as he wants with Grifter, who Liefeld feels has the potential to be as popular a one-man-army antihero as Deadpool or Wolverine.
"He calls himself Grifter — the guy's a slacker," he says. "His natural tendency is to run from the responsibility that he has, and you'll see that both sides have invested heavily in him serving their grand design.
"What it comes down to is Cole being his own man."

As a multi-discipline, full service creative agency, The Creative Alliance provides a wide spectrum of marketing and design services:
Strategic PlanningA great vision requires a great plan. As someone once said, "Never go into battle without a map." Planning is the key to making smart decisions and getting the best ROI out of your marketing budget. Bringing your marketing activities together into a unified plan improves the effectiveness of everything you do and every dollar you spend. Sure, it takes some extra time on the front end; but it pays big dividends down the road.
Market ResearchGood market research can provide a better understanding of your audience, reduce unnecessary risk and identify the best opportunities for deploying your marketing assets. In primary research, we use personal interviews, online surveys and focus groups with multiple stakeholders: customers, employees, strategic partners, and all levels of management. We also provide competitive intelligence to help our clients see where they are positioned vis-à-vis others in their industries. What emerges is an enlightening, 360° view of the marketing challenges and opportunities ahead.
BrandingBrands are not just logos and taglines. They are belief systems—the collective perception your audience holds about your company or product. Brands are distilled from the values and passion of the visionaries who lead your organization, and winning brands are built by engineering the perfect balance of uniqueness, frequency and consistency. Branding often involves letting customers tell you what your products and services mean to their lives, and then reflecting that message back in the terms most meaningful to them.
Websites & MobileA website is almost always the most powerful tool that an organization has for communicating with its prospects and customers. It is the flagship communications platform where new prospects conduct their due diligence. Through usability best practices, innovative design, optimizing for mobile use, and creating multiple forms of engagement, we build dynamic websites that reinforce each client's brand, moves their visitors further through the customer decision journey, and produces qualified leads.
Video & MultimediaVideo is the lingua franca of the Internet, crucial to a well-rounded Internet strategy. A short video can tell a story that engages people in ways that words on a page can't. Video allows for a creative mix of sights, sounds, animation, live action and special effects that can tell your story online, in presentations and across social media. From initial script and storyboard to shooting and post-production editing and animation, we provide concept-to-completion video work for Web, advertising, sales support and corporate communications.
AdvertisingNo, it's not like Mad Men any more. Advertising now exists in an integrated context of audience interactions: online, broadcast, print, mobile, social, out-of-home. More data-driven than ever before, successful advertising requires breakthrough creative and strategic placement in order to build awareness, sustain brand recognition and move an audience to action. It requires thoughtful integration with PR and social media. And it requires some good negotiation skills. Our media planning and buying savvy has saved our clients a lot of money, partly because we don't take media commissions—we pass any agency discounts we receive on to our clients.
Public & Media RelationsConnecting with customers and stakeholders through non-advertising methods is an extremely effective way to build a brand and influence an audience's behavior. As a long-term process, public relations uses a number of different tools to help clients communicate with the audiences most important to them. We have invested heavily in the technology and list building tools to help our clients reach the key editors, reporters, bloggers, analysts and other influencers within their respective industries.
Digital AdvertisingOur clients receive the right combination of digital marketing efforts strategically implemented across campaigns that are measurable for clear definition of your ROI.
Content MarketingAccording to the Content Marketing Institute, content marketing is "a strategic marketing approach focused on creating and distributing valuable, relevant, and consistent content to attract and retain a clearly-defined audience—and, ultimately, to drive profitable customer action." That describes our approach here at The Creative Alliance, but we also see content marketing as part of a larger ecosystem of digital communications and public relations.
Social Media MarketingWe work with clients to maximize the benefits and minimize the risks of marketing via social media. Not all social media venues make sense for all companies, so we help our clients evaluate the best opportunities, execute well within those spaces and monitor responses. We help clients launch new social initiatives, collaborate on daily social media interactions and integrate with social media advertising and special promotions.
Search Engine OptimizationTo drive more qualified traffic to our clients' websites from search engine results, we employ the link-building, keyword strategy, coding structure and development best practices that maximize SEO. We also help our clients improve SEO through tactical efforts like blogging, video and other tools that impact Google's PageRank™ algorithm and the ranking systems of other search engines.
Package DesignApparently you can judge a book by its cover. Most people do. So how your product is packaged can be the difference between success and failure. We have developed award-winning packaging design for consumer packaged goods and other products—design that creates shelf appeal in a retail environment and reinforces the brand after purchase.
Sales SupportWe help our clients produce the sales support tools—printed and electronic—for each stage of prospect and customer engagement. We produce first-class presentations, email campaigns, brochures, video, proposals, pitch-books, landing pages and anything else that moves the conversation forward. Whether these materials are intended for wide dissemination, or carefully honed for an audience of one, we apply the creativity, copywriting and design that can break through the clutter.
Digital & Advertising
Digital advertising offers an affordable, measurable approach to marketing with an incredible ROI. It is currently the fastest growing and fastest changing element of integrated marketing. So we make a significant investment to stay current with what works and—equally important—what doesn't. That said, it also involves a lot of testing for response, comparing of results and ongoing adjustment of the platforms, creative and cadence of the various components. But once you get it right, digital advertising can contribute to a flywheel effect where all the parts contribute to visibility, brand reinforcement, thought leadership, conversions and sales. Based on select demographic, psychographic and geographic parameters, we offer a broad suite of digital marketing solutions, including:
- Digital advertising
- Retargeted advertising
- Mobile advertising
- Content marketing
- Email marketing and landing pages
- Social media marketing
- Social media ad placement
- Marketing automation
Websites & Mobile
A website is often the most powerful tool that an organization has in communicating with its prospects and customers. The Creative Alliance employs a time-proven, strategic process for website development that begins with an examination of how the site's content, organization and functionality can best address a company's business objectives. Our process continues through design of a custom look that reflects the brand and connects with audiences, and on through development, testing and launch. With careful attention paid to search engine optimization, every website we produce is built to powerfully represent our clients..
That is just the beginning. We design and build websites with you in mind. Our goal is to create a website that will be your company's workhorse, alive with new information that takes advantage of your media goals, as well as achieves your business goals. And we build websites that you can easily update and manage in-house, so you are not a slave to us making changes and adding new information. We do, however, train you and your team, offer you reports on how your site is performing, and make ongoing recommendations to keep your web operating just like we planned, and also to respond to changing business conditions. View our website and mobile portfolio.
"The Creative Alliance created the most wonderful website using my African heritage, background, travels—my story. They even created a Swahili dictionary. It was a unique and absolutely phenomenal achievement." Barry Cooper, Founder, Cooper Tea

Liverpool manager Kenny Dalglish on Monday warned that last year's failure to qualify for the Champions League must not be repeated as the Premier League side launched their debut tour of China.
Dalglish, who galvanized the Reds' form after taking over in January, said his team are training well ahead of the new campaign and are determined to return to Europe's elite competition after falling short last season.
"We never got there last year but we have to make sure this does not become a habit for the future," he said in the southern Chinese city of Guangzhou, where Liverpool are set to play a friendly against a local side on Wednesday.
"We have fantastic players, they've trained really well and are sharp and fit."
His side finished sixth in the English top flight last season after a woeful start which left them with relegation concerns.
Wednesday's friendly against Guangdong Sunray Cave, will give Dalglish and his coaching staff a chance to see some of his new recruits, including Charlie Adam and Jordan Henderson, in action.
The Reds bought the pair for an estimated combined fee of around 28 million pounds ($44.8 million) to stiffen the spine of the side as they look to mount a serious title challenge.
But the manager said the introduction of the two young central midfielders will not come at the expense of captain and club talisman Steven Gerrard, 31, who has been sidelined since March with injury and did not make the China trip.
"Steven Gerrard has been fantastic. He's just had surgery and is recovering well," Dalglish said.
"He should be fit for the start of the season. By not coming on this tour, he is giving himself the best opportunity to play in the season."
The former Liverpool striker refused to be drawn on other transfer targets, but hinted at more movement in the transfer market, saying "there will be people coming in and people moving out. What will happen will happen."
The Reds' first tour to China aims to tap the nation's massive football market and give the mainland's estimated 60 million Liverpool fans a chance to see their heroes on the pitch.
Hundreds of fans greeted the players at Guangzhou airport on Monday morning and dozens more - many in Liverpool shirts - took pictures as the team arrived at their hotel.
Liverpool will also play a Malaysian XI in Kuala Lumpur on July 16.
Dalglish, one of Liverpool's greatest ever players, had a previous successful spell as manager at Anfield between 1985 and 1991 before taking charge as caretaker in January after Roy Hodgson was sacked.

The Giants' management went into Las Vegas with a few different agenda's on mind (hopefully none of which included strippers, roulette tables and an array of intoxicants). One of which was to try and figure out a way to get power [1] and a little bit of defense onto one of the infield corners. They also had C.C. Sabathia on their radar as well as Randy Johnson, who could serve as an insurance policy if Noah Lowry is unavailable come March and April. However the most newsworthy item that came from them this week is that Aaron Rowand will be moving down in the lineup. CC ended up in New York, which is for the better anyway. Him, Timmy and Matty would have been brutal for opposing hitters, but it's just too hard to tie up that much money into only two pitchers, especially with Lincecum getting ready cash in big in 2 years. And apparently the asking price for any young hitter who could help was too much. So, amongst all that talk, Brian Sabean, Dick Tidrow, Felipe Alou, Bruce Bochy and Co. have to feel somewhat defeated as they leave Vegas Thursday because they got absolutely nothing accomplished there. Supposedly instead of pursuing players who could help this team, Sabean and co. were busy having dinner with Aaron Rowand, and trying to figure out where Pablo Sandoval and Fred Lewis would hit in the lineup. I don't know, it's always good to start planning ahead, but finish putting your product together before you start discussing batting slots and what not. It's early December, not February. Not that I really expected the Giants to do anything earth shattering in Vegas, but I did they would be more involved and maybe have made some progress towards doing something helpful. Maybe they did and it just got kept behind the scenes, but judging by the way Sabean sounded in interviews, it's not likely.
The lack of activity from the Giants over the last few weeks, has lead me and many who follow the team religiously think that the team they currently have will most likely be the team we see take the field April 5th. If that's the case, the Giants would head into the year with absolutely no [2] back-up plan for corner infielders Travis Ishikawa and Pablo Sandoval, both of whom have barely gotten their feet wet at the big league level. Starting the year with this current group of guys would also mean another middle of the order including the likes of Bengie Molina, Randy Winn and Fred Lewis. No knock on any of them as they are all nice players, but Molina isn't a cleanup hitter and Winn and Lewis seem better fit for 2nd in the order, although having one of them hit third wouldn't be too bad. They still may make a move to add a bat, but agian, listening and reading Sabean's interviews from the meetings is leading me to believe that this team is practically set. Joe Crede is looking more and more intriguing by the day knowing. Crede comes with a back issue that isn't clear but as I've state here many times, a one year deal with an option wouldn't hurt anything. Signing someone seems like the only option to get some power into the lineup at this point, as any trade for any type of young hitter seems to have gone out the window as GM's started filtering out of the Belagio Wednesday and Thursday. Again you never know with a guy like Sabean, but I would expect the Giants to stay very quiet the rest of the winter.

Five Questions with Ilsa Johnson
Ilsa Johnson, 12, of Duluth participated in a five-day livestock encampment at the Minnesota State Fair through the South St. Louis County 4-H program. Her pair of white leghorn chickens, named Lucy and Twinkle, won a second-place ribbon on opening day, Aug. 21. We asked the 4-H-er Five Questions about her experience as a first-timer showing a project at the state fair.
Q: What was it like staying overnight at the fair? Would you do it again?
A: Our group was assigned to sleep in college dorms off the fairgrounds. It was fun staying in the dorms. It was a lot nicer than the dorms that are right above the barns because we had Wi-Fi and air conditioning. The whole experience was awesome.
I want to do it again, no matter which dorms I get assigned to.
Q: What is the key to developing a prize-winning chicken?
A: Pick a breed that will work well for what you want. Your chickens have to be born in the current calendar year to be eligible to show in the state fair.
You want to order the chicks early so they are mature enough by the time you show them. You need to take good care of them by giving them lots of quality food and water. You need to hold them a lot, so they are used to you and OK with being handled.
And you need to give them a very good bath before the fair.
Q: How did you become interested in 4-H and chickens?
A: My parents signed me up for 4-H when I was about 6. I got my first chickens when I was 8.
I started showing that year in the South St. Louis County Fair and I had a lot of fun with it, so I kept going. I have learned a lot over the years to help me achieve my goal of showing chickens at the Minnesota State Fair.
Q: What would you like to be when you grow up?
A: I want to be a veterinarian because I really like animals. I think they are very interesting. I think it would be fun to study and work with animals.
Q: You are having a pizza party at your house and can invite anyone in the world — alive or dead, famous or not. Who would you have over and why?
A: I would invite my friends. I have known a lot of my friends for a long time. They are really great, and we always have fun together.

All my life he had been there, lying on his back in the crawl space under my room. Before I even learned to say mama, I whispered his name through the cracks in the floorboards under my bed.
Charlie, I would say, pointing my finger at the cold blue eyes that stared right through me. Dust had gathered on his face, and I was always afraid he would sneeze and wake father up, but he never did. Even when I took a deep breath and blew so hard that his eyelashes moved, he never blinked, and when the dust had settled he was still staring at me with those X-ray eyes as if something at the back of my head was holding his gaze and would not let go.
Friends are hard to find for someone like me, but a ghost had found me in my room and had laid down under my bed. Ghosts come in all sorts of shapes and mine was a blue-eyed, red-haired boy with freckles, come to make friends with a little girl who is not allowed to leave the house.
He will move one day, I told myself.

Ankara Governor Mehmet Kılıçdar said the attack was carried out with a car bomb. The attack occurred in the center of the city, hundreds of meters away from the top military headquarters, parliament and prime minister's office.
"We are looking into details of the explosion," Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoğlusaid.
Turkey's TV watchdog RTÜK also imposed a broadcast ban on the attack. The attack happened at a time when a high-level security meeting was being held at the Presidential Palace under President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan.

I'm fairly new to Realself. Started looking into this procedure about 4-5 months ago and I finally set my sx date! I'm 23, 5'1 and weigh 130 lbs. I started at 123-125 and have started to put on weight over the last few weeks. My current measurements are 34-30-39. Would love to be at 34-26-43 after. Nancy advised that I'm the ideal weight and don't need to gain but I want a booty so I'm looking to probably go up to 140 by surgery date. I was torn between Duran, Cortez, and Salama but decided dr S can give me the results I'm looking for. Haven't booked a hotel or flight yet.
1yr and a half post Round 2
I'm fairly new to Realself. Started looking into...
Pre-op pics 132lbs salama nov 15!!!
Here are some pre-op pics, I'm now at 132lbs have 8more to go to reach my goal! Been eating like crazy!
Any tips on weight gain? Salama Nov 15
Ladies, trying to gain weight but I'm stuck at 131. Any tips on weight gain? I been eating so much but can't get past 131-132. I want to be at least at 138 by surgery date less than 60 days away!
21 more days
Yay, I'm 21 days away from sx. I finally got my packet. Need to get my labs done ASAP. Hopefully it will come out fine. I still need to book my flight. My mom will be joining me, so I'm happy, she is supportive in my decision. As for my weight I'm currently at 135, my measurements 36-31-40. I think I will gain 1 or 2 additional pounds just to have enough. Ugh I feel big,
None of my clothes fit. These love handles have got to go!! Do you ladies recommend inner thigh lipo? Just don't want to end up with skinny thighs . I am also considering chin lipo.
None of my clothes fit. These love handles have got to go!! Do you ladies recommend inner thigh lipo? Just don't want to end up with skinny thighs . I am also considering chin lipo.
Sx tomorrow
Got to hollywood fl today at 10 am and went for my preop visit today at noon. I basically had to sign a ton of papers and met with Nomie , she is such a sweetie!. She made me feel comfortable and answered my questions. My final weight is 135. Decided to stay at this wt as I want to be as closest to my ideal weight. So my sx is tomorrow nov 15 at 10:30 am. I'm looking forward to it but I'm a little scared and hope I can tolerate the pain well. I ultimately decided not to go with the thigh lipo although kind of regretting not adding chin. Starting to hate my chin the more I look at it, everyone thinks it looks fine but maybe I'm exaggerating. Well time for me to get some rest for tomorrow morning, talk to you soon ladies.
Out of surgery
Thank you ladies for the best wishes.. I got done with surgery two hours ago. Everything was a success thank god. I received 1100cc each side .The pain is crazy! Got to the room and ate some Mac and cheese, luckily I had an appetite and I'm still hungry lol but will wait for dinner, my moms making me chicken with rice, will take a nap, and update later with pics. Ttyl dolls!
For some reason
It's not letting me upload pics from my phone, will have to upload from my computer later. I am now 11 days post op. Recover is not a walk I the park. It's tough not being able to sleep comfortable, and not being able to wear what I want. I got my back drain removed at 7days post op and at 9days I flew back home, we missed our flight and had to wait 4 hours for the next one and waiting at the airport was hell. On top of that I still had to take 6hour flight which was so uncomfortable. I was standing almost the entire flight And my feet were killing me. The stiffness is so bothersome, that I take a perc in the morning and 1 at night to help me cope with it. I wake up stiff and my arms numb. As far as my results I am happy with so far. Dr salama knows what he's doing ! I just hope I don't have a lot more volume loss. I been holding steady at 43 inches since day 2. My current measurements are waist 28 and 43 booty , I want to have a 26 or 27 waist. My stage 1 garment was medium and was put into a stage 2 small garment on day5. This thing is so tight and I feel it pinches my skin too much and it takes 15minutes just to put it on. Ladies Any recommendations on a more comfortable garment?
So Today marks 2 days shy of 4weeks post op
Hello ladies , so Friday will be 4 weeks post op, I was really excited with my results for the two weeks post op although I know it was a lot of swelling so I tried not to get too used to my big behind, after two weeks I kept losing volume and have lost 3 inches total. Measurements now waist 27 , booty 41.5. I would be content with at least a 42, now I'm starting to question this whole thing:( another concern I have is that I have a dent on my hip, and still have fat left on my flanks which I noticed since day 1 but figured it is swelling and it will go down but now almost 4 weeks out and now it's more noticeable that I don't feel like I have the hourglass shape because my freaking love handles poke out. I mean I was a pretty small girl, weighed 134.5 sx day., current weight is 134. Thinking I will need a revision or round 2. I also noticed I have more projection on one side ... Grrrr. Trying to stay positive but it's tough . I invested so much and had high expectations especially considering my size. It is an improvement from preop of course but before gaining weight I already had a decent body and only 1.5 inches increase from pre-op isn't that much.
Ugh I'm so mad
Hello ladies, I tried I stay positive but it's hard when you see your but shrink everyday . Only been 4 weeks , I started at 40 and now only 41 inches. I feel like by 6 weeks I will be back to pre op. I feel like I waste my money and time. And I have not sat on it at all since sx except for during massages and used a boppy pillow. I haven't been back to work or drove. I don't know what to do. I feel like my projection is almost all the way gone. I will post pics in a bit
So today
Marks 9 weeks post op. Recovery was very tough and I'm finally starting to feel things back to normal. Sleeping is a lot better and the stiffness is very minimal. My measurements are 26-26.5 waist and 41 booty. It does jump to 41.5 sometimes depending on what I eat. My goal is to get in the 42-43 range but I think it won't happen unless I gain weight. I'm currently at 133 lbs and know if I lose any weight I will lose more booty so careful in making sure I don't lose any. My butt is completely soft and jigly. I think a little too much lol I feel I need to hit the gym and start a squat regimen. I don't know if it's me but I kind of feel like the top and side of m butt is flattening out and losing fat there, not sure if it's just me . I will try to go for a revision this year, since as I addressed earlier I have leftover fat on my flanks and upper back/bra roll and I have a dent on one cheek and a dent on one side of hips. I will be emailing dr salama for a quote for revision . He did a great job on me and I'm confident he can deliver. He is straight forward and made me feel very comfortable
A little over 4 months post op
Ladies be careful who you can trust. Only two of my sisters and mom knew about the surgery and now seems like half the town knows . Some people just don't have enough respect for you to keep your business on the low even when you think you trust them, my mom told my family against my request and my sisters told two friends who have told many people I know that I had this surgery. The haters are out there so be careful to not tell the wrong people if you want to keep your sx on the low. I regret telling them and it sucks they have no consideration. On the flip side, I'm happy with my results with the exeception of the dent on my right hip/butt. Also have some fat one flanks. Still considering whether I should do a revision/ touchup or a round2. Also don't know what to do with my stubborn loose skin, which you can only see when I crouch or bend down, considering a mini tuck , I will provide pics later . Measurements waist 26.5-27 butt 41.5 goes to 42 when I gain a couple pounds. Wish measurements are 26 and 43 booty.
7 months post op
Measurements still the same 27 waist , 41.5 butt. Debating on revision or round 2 . Just
Don't want to have to gain any more weight.will keep y'all updated!
Don't want to have to gain any more weight.will keep y'all updated!
1yr& 8months postop salama! Rd2 coming
Tomorrow marks 1 year and 8 months post op. Going for revision/round 2 and need a tummy tuck due to loose skin. Gained some weight . Booty still holding up. Going for round 2 to fix the dent in my hip and I have some flatness on center of my right cheek. Would also like more volume on the top as well, boots greed is real lol . Current measurements with weight gain. 34-28-42.5. Doctors im considering for my rd2. Duran, Baez, fisher, Hasan,Pantoja, Dr Henao or Correa in Columbia. Want to gain about 5 more pounds.
Following some of these doctors on Instagram isn't making my decision any easier . Torn between Dr. Correa in Colombia, Dr Molina, Dr Hasan, And Duran. I know Dr. Cabral can truly deliver just scared to go to him because of deaths/burns, too risky. Having surgery November so I need to hurry up and decide. Any ladies went to any of these docs for round 2?
Ready for round 2
Will be starting a new page for my round 2. Deposit paid , going with Hasan Nov 13.
So I'm finally getting ready for my round 2 with Hasan next month. Time off approved , flight booked. Will be in town for 8 days. My hemo was 13.1 two weeks ago, started taking iron hopefully can get it to go up. I am now within 30 days from surgery so I want to do my labs locally. I haven't received the lab order yet. Do any of you ladies know what tests I need? Also is it better to buy a garment online or from vanity? I have no idea the kind they use.
Round 2 harder trhan my first .nov13 hasan
I had round 2 this morning with Hasan. Was the first of the day. Can say it's been much harder then my first. Dr hasan was very straight forward, he asked why I wanted another bbl.He said there may be a lot of bleeding due to scar tissue. He said I have a lot of irregularity as I thought and would do his best to fix it.. I did get lipo on my abdomen again to try to fix the irregularities. Not used to not having drains , definitely very messy. I feel like I've been bleeding a lot. I will have to monitor it. First massage is tommorow with Marian. Butt looks way
Too big and I know it will get better after swelling . So far I'm content with my experience with vanity. Although I was a little upset they accidentally tossed my eye contacts so I will be blind the remainder of the trip as I came all the way from the west coast. I will update with pics once I reel better.

Ink on paper, colours in GIMP.
Nice work.
Heh, that was about what time of the morning I used to watch He-Man when I was a kid. I see even superheroes drag ass in the morning.
There could've been "Masters of the Universe" and "Princess of Power" cereal back in the '80s.
I wish such a cereal existed back in the '80s.
I really like your use of color! Amusing verison of She-ra! Bravo, sir!
Love it! Great work
Haha- great.
very cool!
Awesome work as usual man! I coloured the Cereal:Geek versions of your Power Con stuff. Will post em when I get the ok.
Excellent! Looking very much forward to seeing those.
Absolutely brilliant!
This would look so amazing hanging in my kitchen!
(Is there any way I could pay you for a copy? I'd request it through DA, but I don't think the artist's cut of the profit is high enough.)

Thanks for the interest! I've enabled a few of the print options here on dA for you or anyone else who might want one -- I reckon the 9x12 photo print is probably the best deal.
Amazing work on both pics dude, can't wait to get my hands on the issue!
Thats awesome
Perfect colours.
Whoah man, you gotta work on your lady fingers. She's got your hands XD. (but is otherwise a babe)
Thanks! Killoran really, really appreciates the suggestion that she's got man-hands!
Cool idea.
Great job all the same. I really appreciate the retro comic colouring that you're going for in your gallery. It's something I'd like to branch into myself at some point, but I find so little time for experimentation.
Love the shadow tones of her skin, the color work is great.

Plot Summary
Plot: A former star reporter reduced to tabloid journalism finds a shocking discovery while investigating a story on great disasters. In analyzing photographs from calamities such as the sinking of the Titanic, the explosion of the Hindenburg, and the destruction caused by Hurricane Hugo, reporter Tom Merrick discovers a disturbing similarity among the archive photos: the same unknown man appears in nearly every photo, virtually unchanged through time. The man turns out to be a futuristic tourist visiting the scenes of historic disasters. As Merrick and magazine researcher Elizabeth Wintern set out to uncover the man's identity, they soon find themselves putting their own lives on the line to avert imminent disasters.

About two weeks ago I had oral sex with my boyfriend. Since then, my vagina has been itching really really bad. I don't want to tell anyone because I am afraid. If it's genital herpes, how do you get rid of them without going to the doctor? I don't want my parents to know; they would be so pissed. So yes, please help me.READ MORE
How do you get rid of genital herpes or an outbreak?
I know you posted this a long time ago, but I was wondering if you ever received a diagnosis and treatment plan from your doctor? You did get excellent answers from the community members to your question.
It did sound as though you could have had a yeast infection, vaginal bacterial infection, or an STD. I am not a medical doctor, however, and I do hope you found out what was going on with your body by visiting your doctor.
If you are interested in additional research on the topic, I have some articles you might check out:
The Truth About HSV1, HSV2 and Oral Sex
Hope you are well!
you must go to your doctor. Only he or she can determine if it is genital herpes. I have herpes and I contracted it from my exhusband when we was married. I control break outs by taking once daily Valtrex. You can only get a presciption from your doctor. Herpes can be passed even if your partner does not have any signs of a break out. Herpes can also be passed person to person by oral sex as well. The only way not pass it is to use condoms and the person that is a carrier or has herpes must take Valtrex once daily so that the will not get a break out. Women, especially, have more break outs because of hormal changes before your periods and because of stress. I urge you to please talk to you parent or someone that can get you to you doctor to be diagnosed and treated as soon as possilble. From a concerned Mom!READ MORE
YOu need to go the the dr. or other women's clinic for diagnosis. You could simply have a vaginal infection. You cannot get rid of herpes. There is no cure, only treatments for the outbreaks. Get checked please. Having sex outside...you could have poison ivy there! But noone can diagnose you without an examination.READ MORE
Sorry but you need to condult a doctor. I've suffered so much during my outbreaks for 3 years. what relieved me is Herpeset. my homeopathic doctor gave it. It's made of natural ingredients that soothe and heal the blisters.. even the burning pain. Now i don't worry much about the outbreaks. visit www.howdoigetridofherpes.blogspot.com to uplift your spirit.

Best Of :: People & Places
Even if you have a backyard pool to dip the kids in hourly, summertime is not a fun time, in these parts. That's why we're so grateful that someone in the Harkins family came up with the idea for a summer movie series. For $7, you get a pass to 10 movies, one a week for the whole summer. Kid snacks are cheap, and the A/C is free. This past summer, the roster included Curious George, Charlotte's Web, Over the Hedge, Ice Age: The Meltdown, Open Season, Wallace & Gromit in the Curse of the Were-Rabbit, Happy Feet, Barnyard, Nanny McPhee and Everyone's Hero, showing on big screens across the Valley.
We're pretty sure no one will say anything if you show up without a kid in tow. Hey, Happy Feet wasn't bad! Pass the popcorn.
With its lavishly tony décor soaked in red and black, talented DJs spinning Top 40 and rock mash-ups, top-shelf food and drinkage, performances by musical and burlesque acts, and plenty of chi-chi clientele, the Jackrabbit Supper Club is definitely the kinda E-Ticket club that exudes big-city splash. Since debuting last fall, it's not strange to see the place filled to its rafters with the beautiful people (including such celebs as Matt Leinart and Jamie Foxx) from Thursday to Saturday every week. Oh, and by the way, good luck trying to get inside. We've seen limos full of ladies and gents getting turned away by the iron-jawed security types after the club hits its capacity during the prime time of 10 p.m. to 2 a.m. And even when these gatekeepers grant admission, usually they're picking the hottest hotties that are standing in line outside the unmarked building. So unless you can somehow transform into Nick Lachey or Jessica Simpson, chances are you're gonna be partying down the street at Mickey's with all the other mooks.
Something's going up on the northeast corner of Scottsdale and Camelback roads, and no, it's not another gas station. It's a cupcake shop! Well, you say, cupcake shops are as common as gas stations these days and, hey, both are outrageously priced. You're right. We won't argue (in fact, a Sprinkles cupcake costs $3.25 even more than a gallon of gas). We'll just tell you that if the hype on these precious Beverly Hills-based sweet cakes is anywhere near right, you'll be lined up out the door like an imitation of the '70s gas crisis when the Scottsdale Sprinkles finally opens. We'd hoped it would be in time for our Sweet Life issue, but alas, some good things must wait.
Just listen to the lineup of flavors: ginger lemon, dark chocolate, cinnamon sugar, chai latte, peanut butter chip. Drooling? Try scrolling over the full descriptions at www.sprinklescupcakes.com. Lemon isn't just lemon, it's "fragrant lemon cake with lemon-vanilla frosting flecked with zest." These people mean business, and we expect their business to boom when they open allegedly sometime this fall.
If it weren't for sheer willpower, we'd all be sitting around on asses the size of Texas, eating bonbons, and frothing at the mouth like Homer Simpson. Mmm... chocolate. So you can imagine we were floored to discover a cocoa treat that has zero calories and zero fat at the Pointe Hilton Squaw Peak. Offered as part of the Tocasierra Spa's "My Tempest Truffle" Valentine's Day package, the Chocolate Scrub immerses your whole body in guilt-free chocolaty goodness. The included Chocolate Decadence Pedicure turns tired tootsies into plump, juicy Tootsie Rolls. Can't wait to check out next year's cocoa-infused V-Day specials at Tocasierra? Don't fret the spa plans to offer the chocolate body scrub year-round for an anytime indulgence. They say that because of similar endorphins, chocolate is just as good as sex. Considering that the spa does the messy cleanup for you, we say this sinful scrub is even better.
Thanks to one of Old Town Scottsdale's newest boutiques, we'll gladly add some extra penance so we can atone for the lust we feel for Covet's Tretorn shoes, limited-edition Andy Warhol Factory Foundation Levi's, and one-of-a-kind Liz Saintsing painted bags. We're envious of owners Randy and Adrienne Kreb's excellent taste, and have been known to stare longingly at the Yoko Deveraux shirts and the Alexander McQueen Puma trainers. We're just angry that we didn't spend more time at the gym, so our slothful selves have to be squeezed into our April 77 skinny rock-star jeans.
We love looking like a million bucks, especially if our champagne tastes can be sated on our beer budgets. That's why we've been braving traffic on the I-10 for ages so we can scour the racks at Neiman Marcus Last Call at Arizona Mills. Where else will you find purple Miu Miu pumps for $19.95? Or John Galliano for Dior camis for $50? Or a men's Prada blazer for less than $150? Stock up on Radko Christmas ornaments for $9, and score a suede couch for under $1500. When you pay for your purchases and the kind clerk asks if you'd like to be added to the mailing list, say, "Yes." You'll get invitations to preview sales and you'll have first crack at some choice Chanel ballet flats. Now you'll be able to afford a matching bag. Who says you can't buy happiness? And at a bargain!

Concord – The silence from New Hampshire Republicans on Bill O'Brien's latest shameful embarrassment has been deafening. Speaking at an Americans for Prosperity event in August, O'Brien compared health reform to the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850 which allowed slave owners to reclaim runaway slaves. Rather than apologize, O'Brien has doubled down at every opportunity, even when called out for his desperate and offensive attacks by the President of the United States. [VIDEO]
"What will it take for Kelly Ayotte, Jim Rubens, Frank Guinta, Gary Lambert, Pete Silva and others to finally distance themselves from this national disgrace and condemn his comments?" asked New Hampshire Democratic Party Communications Director Harrell Kirstein. "It is past time for New Hampshire Republicans to take responsibility for their party and to state plainly if they agree with O'Brien's vile comparison of health reform to the Fugitive Slave Act. This is the same repulsive Tea Party rhetoric New Hampshire voters rejected last fall."
The Concord Monitor called O'Brien's language "despicable" and "nothing short of obscene." The Nashua Telegraph called is comments a "stain on the New Hampshire House," and adding that New Hampshire Republicans should state if O'Brien's views "represent those of the party."
Yet rather than condemn O'Brien's comments, Republicans continue to rally around his Tea Party banner. Republicans running for higher office have actively sought his endorsement. [Nashua Telegraph, 9/5/2013] And the Republican State Committee even recruited his right hand man, former disgraced Majority Leader Pete Silva to run in a special election.
"The shame his words bring to the entire Republican Party in New Hampshire is a shocking indictment of the state of the NHGOP. It is very telling that in 2013, O'Brien's chilling comments have stood without any refutation or rebuttal from a single Republican," continued Kirstein.

text: BARRY HATTONLISBON, Portugal (AP) ⿿ German Chancellor Angela Merkel took her fiscal discipline message to bailed-out Portugal on Monday, tolerating Nazi jibes from a small group of protesters as she advocated the benefits of austerity and economic reforms. As in her recent trips to bailed-out Greece and debt-stricken Spain, demonstrators unhappy about tax hikes and pay cuts devised to improve public finances turned their anger on the German leader. Portugal needed a ⿬78 billion ($99 billion) rescue last year when it was engulfed by the eurozone's debt crisis, and living standards have dropped sharply. A protest march in Lisbon featured dummies with Merkel's face and with T-shirts saying "Adolf Merkel" and including a swastika. Banners said "Merkel Nazi, Go Away!" and, in German, "Merkel Raus" (Merkel Out). "I think it's wrong what they are doing," said Luis Miguel, an actor who was carrying puppets representing Merkel and Portuguese Prime Minister Pedro Passos Coelho. "It's not right what they are taking from the people." Merkel told a news conference with Passos Coelho she was "not particularly bothered" by the Nazi references, saying people had a right to express their views. Germany is the eurozone's biggest and strongest economy and contributes more than the other 16 members to bailouts for financially troubled members. In return, it has demanded that rescued eurozone members adopt spending cuts and enact reforms that take away long-standing workers' entitlements in order to improve competitiveness. That has made Merkel a lightning rod for public discontent. Reactions to Merkel's visit illustrated the split in Europe over how to handle the continent's debt crisis. Merkel and the Portugal's center-right government insist austerity policies must continue. Portugal's main opposition Socialist Party, like French president Francois Hollande, wants a softer emphasis on cuts and greater focus on measures to improve growth. That demand has won broad public support in Portugal.

By LISA BRITTON
Of the Baker City Herald
Halfway residents no longer have to wander through cramped aisles to find an enjoyable read.
The Halfway branch of the Baker County Library recently moved from their 500 square foot Main Street location to the old Masonic Lodge building on Gover and Church streets in Halfway. The new library has over 2,000 square feet to utilize.
andquot;I'm still trying to find things,andquot; Halfway librarian Linda Bergeron said.
The new location doesn't just have wide aisles and 3,000 books; it has a parking lot. The previous library only offered street parking.
andquot;Sometimes it was hard to find a place to park. Believe it or not, even in Halfway,andquot; Bergeron said.
The Halfway branch has been open since 1961, first in the Lions Hall and then in a rented space next to a beauty shop and real estate office on Main Street.
During this time, the membership of the Masonic Lodge began going down. Once the number decreased to only two, they consolidated with the Baker Masonic Lodge. The building sat empty until the library board took an interest.
andquot;We'd been looking for another space in Halfway,andquot; Aletha Bonebrake, Baker County librarian, said.
The Baker County Library purchased the property from the Masons in June. The new building not only has parking space on both sides, it has restrooms and a full-size kitchen that Bergeron hopes to use as a meeting room.
andquot;I think it's a perfect building. I couldn't ask for anything better,andquot; she said.
The new location has brought in some new readers, as well as regular patrons.
andquot;Our circulation has at least doubled,andquot; she said.
The selection offers something for everyone with a children's area, periodicals, paper and hardbacks, history books, research materials, videos and audiobooks. And that's just what's on the shelves.
andquot;We've got cupboards and boxes full of donations,andquot; she said.
The kitchen houses the excess right now in piled boxes until Bergeron has a chance to go through the donations.
The branch is connected to the Baker County Library's computer system, and Halfway readers can request books from the main library in Baker City.
The Bookmobile makes a monthly trip to Halfway to pick up and deliver materials. For convenience, books checked out in Baker can be returned in Halfway to avoid late fees. The senior bus, which goes to Baker City on Wednesdays, also takes returns back to the Baker library.
The new location doesn't only offer books and videos. They now have two public access computers hooked up to the Internet, purchased with a $3,000 grant from the half.com Alliance.
andquot;We're expecting to get two more (computers) in September from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation,andquot; Bergeron said.
The new computers will come with full techical support and training for the library staff of one.
Bergeron is the primary librarian, and there are volunteers who come in to help. She has lived in Halfway for 11 years, and her previous official library experience comes from working in the Denver Public Library.
andquot;I've just always loved being in libraries,andquot; she said.
The only obstacle Bergeron faces this winter is keeping the parking lot free of snow. In the past, everyone piled excess snow on the vacant Masonic property.
andquot;It gets to be a real problem where to put the snow,andquot; she said.
However, Bergeron doesn't dread the snow like in the past. On Main Street, they had to shovel snow from 20 to 30 feet between the street, sidewalk and front door.
andquot;It was pretty hazardous just getting to the front door,andquot; she said.
Now she only faces a four-foot shoveling job up the ramp to the door of the library.
The exterior of the building a uniform pale greenish-blue offers a possible canvas for artwork. Bergeron hopes to have area residents paint a mural on at least one wall.
andquot;We've got a lot of artistic people out here,andquot; she said.
Other future plans include a garden on one side of the property. Bergeron said that a few community members have taken the master gardeners class and can do the landscaping as community service.
The library is open nine hours a week Tuesdays and Wednesdays from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. and on Thursdays from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m.
andquot;If we can get some volunteers to help, we'll be open Friday mornings too,andquot; Bergeron said.
There are four library branches throughout Baker County in Haines, Huntington, Richland and Halfway.
andquot;Aletha Bonebrake gives wonderful support to these satellite branches. We're not forgotten,andquot; Bergeron said.


text: Disparaging comments by former Goldman executives may be the most damaging aspect of the story, but they aren't the only problems for Goldman. McLean (herself a former Goldman analyst) also does a fine job of organizing, presenting and elaborating upon other criticisms that are familiar to Goldman watchers. For example, she points out that Berkshire Hathaway ( BRK-A) Chairman Warren Buffett's investment in Goldman was not strictly about his faith in the company. Buffett was also relying on the government taking certain steps to prevent a meltdown. In doing so, she presents a fresh argument to counter Goldman's frequent statements that it didn't need government support to survive. Goldman bulls will argue that profits are the only thing that matters to the bank, and those, of course, are great. Still, the profits depend upon relationships, and while McLean quotes a money manager who says he does business with Goldman for the same reason he would let the mob pick up his trash, the metaphor may be troubling to some Goldman investors should they reflect that the mob isn't nearly as powerful as it used to be. -- Written by Dan Freed in New York.
