In the first part of this series of comic book price guides, we learned how the Silver Age of comics began with Showcase #4, which not only re-introduced an all-new Flash, but at the same time relaunched superheroes into the 1950s.
In the second part of the series, we looked at some more very important re-appearances, including the Silver Age Aquaman's origin in Showcase #30, and the Silver Age Atom relaunch in Showcase #34.
Metal Men also debuted in Showcase #37, and DC's brief flirtation with an official James Bond comic book in Showcase #43.
Here are values for the final run of Showcase comics.

The Spectre returned in Showcase #64, a stand-alone story in which the Spectre is pitted against a criminal named Ace Chance who has just died.
His spirit takes over the body of Jim Corrigan while the Spectre is still out of it, and the Spectre must get Chance out of his corporeal host.
The cover of Showcase #64 has the somber and ghostly Spectre, lines of magical force emanating from his hands, telling Chance rather vehemently, "Out of my body, you SQUATTER!"

Steve Ditko's Creeper is one of the most underappreciated super heroes of the Silver Age, or of any era.
Steve Ditko was still at the top of his game in 1968, and Showcase #73 testifies to that, with a wildly original story (plotted by Ditko, scripted by Don Segall) and top-notch pencils in Ditko's classically clean, limber, energetic style.
The Creeper begins as Jack Ryder, disgraced TV host-turned-security-guard, hired to look into the case of Professor Yatz, a scientist who has been kidnapped by communists who plan to spirit him away to the USSR. Ryder tracks the professor to the chief mobster's house, where a costume party is underway.
Ryder picks up whatever odds and ends he can find at a costume shop: yellow tights and make-up, green gloves, trunks, and wig, and a shaggy red cape. Thus costumed, he rescues Yatz but is shot by the communist mobsters.
The professor gives Ryder a serum that heals his wound, and gives him healing powers, super strength, and agility. Professor Yatz also implants a device in Ryder's wound (before it closes) that enables Ryder to make his costume appear or disappear at will. Ryder christens himself The Creeper, and the rest is history.
After this one issue, the Creeper got his own comic, which didn't last long, but Showcase Comics #73 is a minor classic.

Another late-Silver-Age Steve Ditko creation in Showcase #75, the Hawk and the Dove are a pair of twin brothers who embody opposing attitudes towards war.
Ditko had Vietnam very much on his mind when he created the characters Hank and Don Hall, sons of a judge.
Hank is a conservative "hawk" on war and in general, always ready to fight for what he perceives to be the common good, or for revenge. Don is a liberal "dove," a pacifist who thinks violence is never the answer unless there is no other choice, and who tries to think his way out of trouble rather than use his fists.
Hank and Don are accidentally trapped in a closet while tracking down the assassins who critically wounded their father, and are in the midst of an argument when they are interrupted by the voices of a Lord of Chaos and a Lord of Order.
They tell them that they can achieve superpowers by saying the names "Hawk" and "Dove," giving them swell costumes as well as the usual increased speed, strength, and agility, and yada yada yada. They defeat the goons and rescue their father.
One of the more original and timely concepts for a superhero team, to be sure. Hawk and Dove got their own series, but it was too good and too thoughtful to last very long.
Internal strife, including the departure of Steve Ditko, didn't help much, and the series only lasted six issues. This singleton issue, Showcase #75, while quite interesting and a beautiful example of Steve Ditko in his prime, does not bring in as much as The Creeper's debut.

The Phantom Stranger hadn't appeared since 1952 when DC brought him back in Showcase #80.
Certainly a queer duck, the Stranger was one part supernatural hero, a la the Spectre, one part horror anthology host, a la EC's Crypt Keeper, and one part enigmatic but charismatic spook and spook debunker, a la Barnabas Collins crossed with Dick Cavett, James Randi, and Patrick Jane.
At this point, the Phantom Stranger was in his "hoax debunking" mode, on a mission to show the world the myriad of ways in which it is conned into thinking it is experiencing the supernatural, including one story in which he squares off against Dr. 13.
Showcase Comics #80 was written by John Broome and Mike Friedrich, and illustrated by Jerry Grandenetti, Carmine Infantino, and Leonard Starr. The capper is a beautifully moody cover by Neal Adams, in one of his earliest DC appearances.
Showcase #80 is, like all the other later issues of Showcase, a victim of the lower values of later Silver Age comics in general. Even the Neal Adams cover and the Silver Age reintroduction of the Phantom Stranger can't bring values up.

Showcase Comics was canceled in 1970, with #93. Revived in 1977 with Showcase #94, it picked up right where it left off, this time with the new Doom Patrol.
Aptly starting off its new run with a reboot, Showcase #94 reveals that not all of the original Doom Patrol had died in 1968: It seems that Robotman's head, upper torso, and one arm had survived the off-shore explosion in which the Doom Patrol had sacrificed themselves to save the tiny fishing village of (I kid you not) Codsville.
Robotman's arm was undamaged enough to swim his head and torso to shore, it seems, and who should happen to be in the middle of a beach vacation, on that very beach, on that very day? Dr. Will Magnus, the man behind the Metal Men, who rescued Robotman and built him a new, much higher-tech robot body.
Robotman is joined in the new Doom Patrol by two new female heroes, Celsius and Negative Woman, and a male hero, Tempest.
Unfortunately, the impending DC Implosion meant that there would be no new regular series for the new Doom Patrol after their three-issue run in Showcase.
It would take ten more years for DC to start a new Doom Patrol title, but that's outside the realm of our discussion here.
Showcase #94, being a later Bronze Age comic, is worth significantly less than its earlier counterparts.

Power Girl, introduced in 1976, was Kara Zor-L, the Earth-Two version of Supergirl. DC had gone crazy for Earth-Two in the DC Explosion and younger Earth-Two heroes were a must.
Kara (secret identity "Karen Starr") was just what the doctor ordered, or so the powers that be at DC must have thought.
She was young, she was new, she was powerful, she was Kryptonian, and she had the kind of impossibly hourglass-shaped anatomy that only Joe Staton could ever pencil.
Power Girl's three-issue arc in the new Showcase started in Showcase #97 with a rather ho-hum story that was designed solely to introduce her to comic readers as an alternative to Supergirl.
Paul Levitz scripted, while Joe Staton supplied the cheesecake pencils. Even with a disastrously foreshortened leg in the Staton-drawn cover art for Showcase #97, you can see exactly how desperate DC was getting.
Kara Zor-L was alright, but it should have been apparent by that time that pin-up girls don't sell comics. OK, well, maybe they do now, but they didn't in 1978.

Oh, Hawkman. It's not like Carter Hall (Thanagarian name: Katar Hol) was a bad idea for a superhero. He had wings, he was an alien, there was the whole hawk mask thing, and he didn't wear a shirt. What's not to like?
Well, something wasn't to like, because Hawkman was the red-headed stepchild of the DC universe after his 1961 Silver Age reboot in Brave and the Bold #34.
He was shifted around from title to title, from backing feature to membership in more and more awkward teams, with his one shot at his own series in the 1960s lasting only a few years before being merged with The Atom because of poor sales.
Hawkman drifted around in the 1970s, with appearances in the JLA and The Brave and the Bold, and some guest-starring shots in other comics.
Showcase #101, #102, and #103 were supposed to change all of that. They didn't, really. Hawkman and his wife, the imaginatively-named Hawkwoman, get involved in this three-issue Showcase arc in what they eventually realize is a war between their home planet, Thanagar, and the planet Rann, adopted home of Adam Strange.
It continued in a backing feature in World's Finest, and eventually in the mini-series The Shadow War of Hawkman.
Showcase Comics #101, #102, and #103 are written by Jack Harris and penciled by Al Milgrom, and all three have Joe Kubert covers. Kubert does as good a job as anyone can of making Hawkman seem less stiff, but it isn't really enough.
Historically, they are important because they were the last superhero stories to appear in Showcase (it bit the dust after one more issue which featured war stories), but only Hawkman collectors value them especially.

When local authority funding was removed from St Joan of Arc Catholic School in Rickmansworth more than 350 pupils were left without transport to their school.
The funding was removed by Hertfordshire County Council in 2012 as local authorities up and down the country were trying to find millions of pounds in efficiency savings.
However, the decision to remove funding from St Joan of Arc school led parents facing annual transport costs running into the hundreds of pounds each year.
The response from parents, according to Headmaster Peter Sweeney, was "a mixture of frustration and exasperation.
"Like many Catholic schools we have an extremely wide catchment area and the removal of funding caused some parents to consider whether sending their child to our school was still financially viable."
St Joan of Arc school initially received advice from the Diocese of Westminster about how to set up their own transport system for the school.
For Mr Sweeney the key advice he received from the Diocese was to have a clear objective on what they were looking for in a private provider. For St Joan of Arc school, the priority was flexible payment.
"For us, we wanted to make the payment system as flexible as possible for parents so that they could pay monthly, weekly or daily if necessary.
"There are many families at our school who don't have the funds to be able to pay transport fees on a term by term basis, so it was essential that the option was there to pay in smaller instalments.
"We were also clear from the outset that the cost of supplying this transport had to be at the providers own risk as we were not in a position to take the financial hit if something went wrong."
After receiving tenders from four providers St Joan of Arc school decided to go with a local bus company because of their local knowledge and ability to adopt previous LA provided routes. Furthermore, the company specialised in school transport.
"Having a company that specialised in school transport made our lives so much easier. It also meant that they had an online payment system in place for parents.
"There were some initial difficulties in the first year surrounding the changes to the bus timetable and locations of drop-off stops, but after successful consultations with parents, these issues were resolved.
"Similarly there were teething issues with the online payment system, however working closely with the provider we were able to sort them quickly.
"That's the crux of it really, if you can build a strong and lasting relationship with your transport provider, not only can issues be resolved quickly but the long-term results are desirable as well. For example we get preferential rates when using the same company to organise coaches for school trips.
"However, the main thing I would recommend to any school who finds itself in this position is to have a clear idea about what they want. If you start putting your transport out for tender without knowing exactly what you need from it then it could lead to problems further down the line.
"We were clear from the outset on what we needed, and because of that our transport system continues to run smoothly to this day."

If you could splurge...
If someone handed you $300 and told you it ABSOLUTELY HAD to be spent on yourself, what would you buy?
I would get some new clothes and shoes. My husband and I recently went on a diet and hardly any of my clothes fit me correctly now (not that I'm complaining!)... and what woman can't use more shoes!?! But seriously - the 2 pairs of flats I wear almost everyday could use some refreshing ;)
I would buy a bookshelf for my room , I want a real wood unfinished one. Then I would get the paint to finish it and buy more books to fill it. If I had some money left I would probably get curtains too. This is all part of my bedroom project I have ongoing.

I got the best comforter set ever on Ebay, brand new. It was less than 100 bucks and came with comforter, shams and three decorative pillows. You can find some great deals on there!
lets see...300 bucks... i need new floor mats in the car, new pillows for the bedroom, I'd like to get a trim on my hair, and an hour long massage!
Ooo a massage would be super awesome right now!
i know right! I've had three professional massages in my life and each time i walk away feeling so relaxed and restored! just what this momma needs.
I think every mama needs a good massage!
I would save it and put it with the other money that I'm saving up to buy some land.
Awesome answer.

I hear ya. I shop at Layne Bryant for mine, mostly because they have such great quality. It's at least $30 a pop though and a lot of times much more than that.
I need new shoes and clothes!
$300, eh? I'd...get a cheap pair of comfy shoes, some new, non-expensive, pretty outfits, a cheap bookshelf, and some arby's lol. I'd still have some leftover, so maybe some of the cheaper room adornments I've seen, like a bathroom organizer I'm currently keeping an eye on!
10 bottles of Malibu rum.
Oooo, I don't know. Maybe new clothes but I've been shopping too much lately ;) I think a spa day would be great and new shoes!

ARLINGTON, Texas -- The Texas Rangers signed pitcher Mark Redman on Monday, and the 2006 AL All-Star will start this week for
Triple-A Oklahoma.
The Rangers also recalled right-hander Mike Wood from Triple-A
and sent down right-hander Scott Feldman.
Redman was cut by Atlanta last week after going 0-4 with an
11.63 ERA. He went on the disabled list for surgery to remove an
ingrown toenail, then made one relief appearance and gave up a
grand slam to Boston's Mike Lowell.
The 33-year-old lefty was 11-10 with a 5.71 ERA for Kansas City
last season. He also has pitched for Minnesota, Detroit, Florida,
Oakland and Pittsburgh. He will start for Oklahoma on Tuesday.
Wood will make his fourth start for the Rangers on Tuesday in
Oakland, replacing Robinson Tejeda. This will be Wood's third stint
with Texas this season. He is 0-1 with a 7.02 ERA in four
appearances, three of them starts when ace Kevin Millwood was
Wood was 3-1 with a 2.58 ERA in six games for Oklahoma.
Feldman was sent to Oklahoma for the second time this month. He
went down May 1 before coming back May 15. He is 1-2 with a 6.97
ERA in 17 relief appearances for the Rangers.

This chapter is dedicated to a very special friend of mine. Thanks to him Chris will live.
Thank you Curtis
Chapter 21
I filled him up two more times and he sucked my dick once and fucked me once. He seems to enjoy to suck more that to fuck. But he was good at both. After exhausting love making we laid on my bed and started talking. " so please explain something to me?" I asked." Why didn't you tried to connect with your brother again after your moms death?" He looked at me. " I called him a liar, even after Tony sucked my dick I didn't admit that he was right. And at the funeral,he was there with his girlfriend. I should have told him what Tony did to me. But how could I tell him why I didn't tell everyone else. Why it continued for almost 2 years." He started crying again. " and I didn't want him to know that I'm gay. Nobody knows except you. Not even those fagots because I declined sucking or fucking them. They thought i did it for the money". I held him in my arms and kissed him tenderly after he finished. Then he said. " I saw you jerking of on the bathroom door". " what?" I yelled surprisedl. " yeah I saw a shadow and I knew it was you. I called your name when I emptied my balls on the glass door. But when you walked away I thought you are one of them. Only wanna fuck my ass". I kissed him again. " I knew from the first glance at you I would fall in love. And then you moved in with me and I was running around with a hardon the whole day. I told Susan that I have to find your family because I knew that would happen. But now nobody and nothing can come between us".
His birthday came up and I asked him if he wanna invite somebody to the party. Sadly he shook his head. I invited Susan and she brought him an external burner for his computer. Since we were together he didn't went back to make quick money with those old fagots. So he was broke. I handed him a birthday card with 350 bucks. " don't spent it to fast" I said as he drove his tongue inside my moth as thank you. It has been only the three of us because Hans stayed with grandma and grandpa. " Chris, did you ever had a girlfriend or, feelings at least,for a girl?" Susan asked. Chris looked at her. " why do you asked that?" " because I could swear I saw your little Chris moving while I massaged your feet on Christmas". He flushed a little and answered. " no offense, it wasn't you Susan. I've get an erection if somebody plays with my feet. One of the old farts liked to suck on my toes and I came". I made a mental note to suck on his big toe the next time.
My phone rung. I picked it up and I was surprised to hear a well known voice. " hello V how are you?" he asked. " Sven thanks I'm fine how are you?" " V I got bad news. Sean is in jail. He slept with a16 year old boy and the parents pressed charges. He is sentenced to spend 6 years in prison for rape of a juvenile. It wasn't the first time. He was on parol for his first sexual crime". " oh my god that is terrible. How is he? And how are you? And your parents?" " we are doing great, just wanna let you know. He was asking for you the last time dad was there visiting him". He sounded sad. " Are you ever come back to California?" He asked. I didn't wanted to lie to him so I said " I don't know yet, you know I just started a new job and...." When I made that pause in my sentence he quickly said. " Was nice to hear your voice". " thanks same over here. C U ". I said but, he hung up before I could say more. That has been devastating news and I was down. I told Susan and Chris what I just heard. Susan looked sad but Chris looked scared. I took him in my arms. " it's ok he is the past and you are my future". But I didn't thought about Sean I still had Sven's face in front of my eyes.
That night I had a bad dream. I must have screamed in my nightmare because Chris woke up, behind me and embraced me with a hug. I was dreaming about Sean, that I really loved him once. And my thoughts went to Sven in the dream. They were fighting again. Sven showed up more often now, in my phantasies or while sex with myself. Chris whispered in my ears " are you ok?" " yes " I just said and turned around so he wouldn't see my tears,running down my cheeks.
Our relationship was great at the beginning. Almost every day we had sex, passionately sex. But after a few weeks he started sleeping in his room again. I heard him cry sometimes. He was not over his past yet. I asked him almost 100 times what bothered him. And every time he mentioned his brother leaving because of him.
The time run by to fast. It was mid August and i was begging him every day to call his brother. I really loved that kid but I know he can not life on,with his past. I begged and begged when Chris finally agreed to talk to his brother on the phone. I loved that kid with all my heart and I knew he was on the right track to catch up with Mike.
Chris talked to his brother for hours. When he hung up he faced me. " V, Mike want me to move in with him. He's living in Nuremberg now. he didn't know what that asshole did to me. He apologized to me. And he want me to live with him until I'm 18 and .... V I love you and I still want to be with you, but he's my brother and i want to get peace with the only family member i have. I will come back. Promise. "
I looked in his eyes and held his hand." Chris I love you too but I think you should do what your heart wants. Stay with your brother. Im always here for you". And I kissed him with passion. " I'll drive you. When you wanna go?" I asked. If its ok I want to go today". That was shocking but I kept it private. It was vacation time in Germany so the " autobahn" was crowded. I'm drove a VW Jetta back then. We both were silent the whole time. Since there is no speed limit on Germans freeways, I drove as fast as the traffic allowed. It took us about 1 and a half hour to reach Mike's house. When Chris was about to open the door I held him back. " Chris you are a good boy, sorry guy. Stay like you are. " he turned around and kissed me good by." And I thank you to show me how love could be".
I drove home with tears in my eyes.
That was the worst good by i ever had in my life. Except the funeral of my patents.
I kept my speed down, it was about 100 mph. All of a sudden a black Mercedes came with about 150 mpg out of nowhere. He speeded on my left side and tried to squeeze between me and the lane divider. I hit the brake and tried move out of the way but he was way to fast and hit me on my back left side. The impact was so powerful that my airbag deployed. I lost control and drifted to the right. The last thing I saw were the flashing headlights of the oncoming SUV thru the passenger window and the face of Sven.
Everything went black. I heard voices but I couldn't make out who spoke or what they were talking about. Somewhere in the distance I saw a bright white light. It came closer and I started to walk in that direction. It grew bigger and bigger and suddenly it exploded. It was pitch black. I heard Sven's voice somewhere in the darkness." I'm sorry you felt for the wrong Gold....guy". I couldn't see him so I called out his name. Then I saw a shadow coming closer. It was Ben and he held his wife in his arms. The picture blurred and I saw Sean sitting on my knees. " I'm the one who took your virginity. Blurry again. Out of a colorful swirl appeared Martin with his ridiculous beard. " don't be ashamed of yourself". He vanished in absolutely darkness. I heard Margot's voice"... Captain Ahab stood on the railing and the white whale ..." Again darkness but I could hear a peep..peep..peep and a women crying and the voice of a man. " the driver of the mercedes is in jail mow". And again I saw the bright light at the end of an long tunnel and the peep...peep I heard,changed to a steady peeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep. Walking into the tunnel it flashed again and I saw Sven standing in his door. His handsome face and the bulge in his boxers. " you felt in love with the wrong Gold...guy". He said again. Blackness. I walked in darkness and finally I heard a peep...peep....peep again. I tried to open my eyes but the brightness did hurt my eyes so I closed them again. I could hear Margot talking to my aunty. " he is in a Coma now for almost 9 month and the doctors can not tell when, or worse, if he will come out of it. They revived him two times. Right on the scene and about 4 month ago when suddenly his heart beat went up high without an reason. He had internal bleeding and both his legs were broken after the crash. The bones are melted but he has to learn to walk again. The driver of the black mercedes were driving under the influence of drugs. He's jail now,for 15 year". On my other ear I heard a whisper." And I want you to be my best man Victor". It was Greg " you can bet on that" I said with a weak voice.." Mom,Margot he's back,he's talking " he screamed and started crying. Margot did so too and aunty also joined them. " come on stop weeping like kids" I said and opened my eyes. Margot collapsed on my chest and Greg squeezed m hand." You get married? " I asked " Monica I assume" Greg looked in my eye " nope it's Andrew" " you are gay too?" I asked surprised.
They all left except Greg. He still were sitting on my left side. " V I know that you are gay,since the first time you came to visit us. Jesus knows Sean. He and Sean have the same bad habits. And how great are the odds, that the german love he was talking about and you,looking for a Sean, are not one and the same person. And when you came and picked up your stuff I saw the way you looked, when you talked about him. The first time is pretty intense ?" I looked at him. " But you felt for that looser". I nodded and sobbed loud.
He changed the subject " you have to be in Las Vegas on the 11 of December. That is the date of my wedding. You got a hotel room at the Bellagio. It's a two bed room so if you wanna bring somebody." it was a great gesture but Chris wouldn't be here to come with me.i don't even know if he knows that i had been in a coma for 9 month. Nobody's heard or saw him again. " And your sure you want me to be your best men?" I asked still under tears. " of course you were my first choice". I was so proud.
It almost took me 6 month to learn to walk again and to build up muscle in my legs and arms,but I made it. After a total of almost 1 year,i finally could leave the hospital.
My company assured me that I can come back after my physic therapy if I wanted. I missed a lot of school so I had to add another year to get my degree. This school year was over for me. I missed to much to catch up. After therapy sessions every day I had to go to rehab also every day. It turned out that one of my therapists were gay. After a massage he performed on me I had a pretty hard boner. He wasn't surprised at all. " you wouldn't believe how many boner I had seen. Even famous soccer player get them. And not only gay ones You know what I mean". He was cute,still a little bid feminine. Like Christian. After the 4th or 5th time he helped me to a happy ending and I enjoyed it. Better, than to fuck your own fist. Right. He also wrote the doctor a note that he would recommend to continue the sessions in a environment closer to my home or my home all along. The doctor agreed and Sid , that was the therapists name,came to my apartment twice a week. First happy endings, later blow jobs and finally, when my sessions were close to end he wanted me to fuck his little butt. I didn't had an ass since Chris. I really wanted to fuck his ass but I couldn't. He wasn't upset. Our last session ended in the 69 position. His dick was about 7 inch long. Circumsized. I enjoyed sucking on a dick , like I had in the past. I deep throated him and he moaned. He couldn't hold it for long and emptied his sperm inside my throat and i swallowed every drop. It felt amazing when I shot my load all over his face. He licked what he could reach with his tongue and I joined in. At the end of the hour he kissed me and asked if he could come back even without a doctors order. . Of course he could so I didn't have to jerk of on my own.
None of my exes showed up. Ben was in Frankfurt, Sean in jail and Martin still in Spain. Only Susan showed up on a regular basis.
Without going to school it was so boring and after my recovery I asked the iduna insurance if I could come to work in the morning. They agreed and I was glad that I had something to do. I also found an online class to catch up with my degree.
Finally December arrived and I was glad to fly out to LA.

|Rift Tribes
|Form of Government:
|Great Barrier Rift, The Nothingness
|The Council
|Kai Imperium
The Camelyons or Rift Ghosts are a nomadic species that live in part of Oralian sector known as the Nothingness and within the gaseous phenomena known as the Great Barrier Rift. The crew of the USS Pioneer encountered them while on a mission to deliver Federation Special Envoy Dr. Lucus Kesar to an Alkanden outpost. (Star Trek: Pioneer: "The Nothingness")
A highly advanced race of "super" humanoids. Most of their species live on huge space stations within the Great Barrier Rift. To the Kai and other races who are able to travel through the Great Barrier Rift, the Camelyons are known as Rift Ghosts. Camelyons' can teleport themselves over great distances by using their telepathic and telekinetic powers. Their skin can fold over their mouths, allowing them to breath in space.
A general tactic of a Camelyon attack is similar to what {Japanese fighter pilots did during World War II, which was called a Kamikaze attack. They do not use shields on their ships; to protect their ship from an enemy bombardment, several Camelyon will jump out into space and collide with the torpedoes before they reach their ship's hull. Other than this, their is no known way to kill them.
The males and females both stand roughly 4'8" to 5'8".
Their skin is a pale grey in coloration in general, but Camelyons have been known to exhibit some rudimentary chameleon coloration changes (just enough to change their entire body to green or blue or other similar colors, not enough to have different colors at the same time). Their skin is fairly pliable and flexible, and their collapsible bone structure and semi-liquid organs allow them to alter their size just enough to slip into tight spaces or take up more room to block a passageway.
Their hair is usually either a brilliant shade of white, or a drab shade of grey, although they cannot grow facial hair (due to the ability to overlap their skin across their mouths).
Their hands are odd in the fact that they have two fingers and two thumbs, which allows them to grasp things with much more dexterity and agility. Their feet have only four toes, but exhibit two big toes and two smaller ones in the middle. Their limbs tend to be long when the Camelyons do not contort them with their flexible nature.
The Camelyons show eyes that are generally thin and lidded like an alligator (they close sideways and with two lids that meet in the middle), and the coloration tends towards black but can develop a milky coloration to them.
Notable CamelyonsEdit

Asian-Style Baby Back Ribs
There are hundred of versions of these sweet, sticky ribs. Too often they're preposterously cloying with little pork flavor. This recipe suffers none of that, its nuanced character derived from the melding of ginger, lemongrass, and chile in the braising liquid and the subtly spiced hoisin glaze. Despite the ribs' refined taste, they're properly messy, perfect with beer -- and invariably met with demands for more.
- Servings: 4
Source: Martha Stewart Living, October 2008
For the Ribs
- 3 tablespoons safflower oil
- 1 rack baby back ribs, split in half (about 3 1/2 pounds)
- 5 ounces fresh ginger (about 5 inches), thinly sliced
- 3 garlic cloves, sliced
- 1/4 cup finely chopped lemongrass
- 1 dried Thai chile
- 2/3 cup tamari or soy sauce
- 5 cups water
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon coarse salt
For the Glaze
- 1/2 cup hoisin sauce
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/4 cup tamari or soy sauce
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/8 teaspoon five-spice powder
- 1 dried Thai chile
- 1/2 teaspoon finely grated orange zest
- 2 tablespoons Champagne vinegar
Make the ribs: Heat oil in a medium Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add ribs, working in batches if necessary, and cook until golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer ribs to a plate, leaving drippings in pot.
Reduce heat to medium, and add ginger, garlic, lemongrass, and chile. Cook until golden and fragrant, about 5 minutes. Add tamari or soy sauce, water, sugar, salt, and ribs. Cover, and gently simmer until ribs are tender, about 1 hour.
Make the glaze: Combine hoisin, garlic, tamari or soy sauce, honey, five-spice powder, chile, orange zest, and vinegar in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Simmer until mixture coats the back of a spoon, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat.
Preheat broiler. Remove ribs from liquid, and transfer to a rimmed baking sheet. Brush glaze all over ribs, and broil until glaze starts to bubble, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a serving platter, and brush with more glaze before serving.
Reviews Add a comment
CorrieS25 JAN, 2011I'm very picky about bbq sauces, and rarely like them. These ribs were delicious, but the Asian flavors weren't as pronounced as I expected them to be. The glaze was very bbq sauce-like, but very different at the same time. I'll definitely make them again.Reply

Throwdown With Bobby Flay: Cupcakes
Baking By AKA_cupcakeshoppe Updated 19 Aug 2008 , 3:27pm by AKA_cupcakeshoppe
I finally saw this tonight and i have a few quesitons i hope to get answered.
The woman said that using vegetable oil instead of butter will make the cupcakes more moist. Is this just for RV cakes or for ANY cake? how would that work with, say a white cake? and is it true? Cause if it is, I'm regretting the 6 blocks of butter I have in my fridge that I bought a couple of days ago. (I regret it because if I'm not gonna use them for cakes, I will gladly smother every piece of toast with it and I would end up wearing them on my thighs!)
Also, I noticed that she used a LOT of frosting on her cupcakes. I think she used the same scooper for the batter and the frosting. Do you guys use as much frosting? I loved the way she iced the cupcakes though. they looked really good.
so anyone who'd answer my questions, i would appreciate it so much. i love this show!
I have also heard/read thar using vegetable oil vs butter makes the cupcakes moist. It probably has something to with the oil being liquid instead of solid. I have made cucpakes using my regular recipe (butter) and they are good, but then I usually soak them with flavored syrup. If I dont add syrup, they are a bit dry.
I wanted to make cucpales that didn't need syrup, so I tried an alternate recipe that uses half veg oil & half butter and what do you know, they were moister.
I added strawberry filling or lemon curd, which might have made the difference, but I later made some with regular recipe and cherry filling and they though still moist w/o syrup they were drier than the half oil versions.
Regarding the frosting, I also tought that she was using too much. The frosting mound was harpacked as tall as the actual cupcake. I don't use a lot, but I am not a fan on frosting. I do love SMBC on cupcakes, but I have a lot of humidy and heat that do not agree with the SMBC or IMBC therefoe I only use it for home or family.
thanks for the in depth reply.
i love SMBC too and i think i wanna add more frosting to my cuppies LOL
The recipes I've been using lately from the Vegan Cupcakes Take Over the World book all use canola oil. They have all been very moist. But I don't normally have an issue with my regular recipes (that use butter) being dry.
I think the oil does help and I'm sure there's some scientific explanation. Maybe because it's liquid and coats the other ingredients better...?
p.s. Hi!
I always use oil instead of butter in cupcakes since I notice they seem to dry out faster. If I really want the taste of butter, I add some butter emulsion or dryvan to the batter.
I soooo wanted to try the RV recipe but after reading it, I can't believe it's the one she uses. (not that I blame her, of course) It had an unGodly amount of oil in it and some people who tried it said they were like big grease balls, lol. Not terrible appetizing.
I love icing so I thought the monster scoops of it were fantastic but I can see how it would be totally overboard it you are not an icing person. I actually think cupcakes should taste so good they don't need icing, and then when I pile them with it, it makes them all the better!
If you are really anti-icing, I have made them super moist and then either squirted in filling (usually a pastry cream or pudding) or left them unfilled and then dip the tops in melted chocolate. You can still pipe detail or sprinkle them with jimmies, etc. for color and then you don't have any icing overload.
If it wasn't 106 out right now, I would be whipping up a batch!
ironbaker, Hi! canola oil, huh? this is really interesting... I haven't noticed it too since I only use what the recipe asks for, if it's oil or if it's butter. I just noticed that majority of chocolate cake recipes use oil.
cakediva, the dipped in chocolate sounds like a divine idea! and you're right, there are people who don't really care much for frosting. i don't know why. I think the frosting and cake SHOULD go together well, like Bobby Flay said in the throwdown. and btw, what's an UNGODLY amount of oil? how much?
Oil, oil, oil! The fat will continue to react in your cake the same way it does on the shelf and in the fridge. Observe butter, oil, and crisco. Butter will be firmer on the shelf and downright hard in the fridge, oil is lovely all the time, and crisco is greasy all the time (doesn't even melt at body temp - yum). And yes, you can basically sub it right out in a recipe.
oh that's good to know KoryAK! I guess the butter will indeed end up on me because i'm gonna try using oil for my cupcakes
anyone has any idea how Terri did the design on her cupcakes? she just used a spatula. i thought they looked really nice.
I think cupcakes are a great excuse to have a high ratio of frosting-to-cupcake
HerBoudoir, you know what? as I was watching that episode, your siggy came to mind i'm not kidding LOL it just shows how much I've been on this site LOL
Is the exchange for butter to oil exact, or would you need a little less of the oil or more of the oil?
I will need cupcakes for my DD bday at school and might give this a try.
According to KoryAK, you can use the exact amount
And yes, you can basically sub it right out in a recipe.
I think cupcakes are a great excuse to have a high ratio of frosting-to-cupcake
Absolutely!!!! If a customer doesn't like icing they better speak up, otherwise they'll get a good portion of it on every cuppie. I am never offended/hurt if someone scrapes the icing off my cake. Well off their piece/cuppie of course. I love good icing and so I always put it on fairly thick when I can. Not gaggy thick (what exactly IS that?) but yumm thick.
I use oil in all my cupcakes. The only thing that ever makes mine dry is over baking. I recently gave a friend my much loved banana bread recipe and I had some of it the other day. She used oil in place of the shortening. She said her family went wild over it. It was good but didn't taste anything like what I make. In that case subbing the oil for the crisco made a huge difference.
Oil and shortening/crisco contains 100% fat (no water) and butter contains 80% fat and 20% water. So if you sub the butter for the oil reduce the water/milk accordingly.
Also using butter will make the cupcake dryer and tougher (because you are reducing the fat). The oil also does not contribute to leavening (and butter does), so if you sub the butter for the oil the cupcakes will puff up more. But if there is not enough structure builders (flour and or eggs) in the batter to compensate for the added leavening (from the butter), the cupcakes may deflate after they are removed from the oven.
Baking is more complicated than college chemistry!
I always use canola oil. The ones with butter do dry out faster. Just use your butter for the buttercream frosting!
^^ youhave read my mind grandmaG! that's the plan now

The condition of renowned ghazal singer Jagjit Singh, who suffered a brain hemorrhage is stable yet critical, hospital authorities said today
Singh was yesterday admitted to Lilavati hospital in suburban Bandra where he underwent a surgery following which he was put on life support system and ventilator.
"He is still in the ICU and under observation. His health is stable," Lilavati Hospital, spokesperson, Sudhir Dagaonkar told PTI today.
Hospital authorities said his condition was "stable yet critical."
Family and friends of the singer have refused to comment on Singh's health.
Brain hemorrhage is a known complication of uncontrolled hypertension or high blood pressure.
In January 1998, Singh had suffered a heart attack, which led him to quit smoking. In October 2007, he was hospitalised following blood circulation problems.

Hey Tracy, it's me, the little voice in your head. I heard your team is about to get swept out of the first round of the playoffs, and your team had home court! Your team just lost 2 in a row at home to the Utah Jazz, who were 17-24 on the road and now you're making them look like the greatest playoff road team ever.
I know it's tough that not only will you have had a 22 game win streak only to get your ass kicked in the first round of the playoffs again, and that you've never won a playoff series in your whole career. That's why I'm here to give you two options as your NBA career winds down. Okay T-Mac, are you ready? Good, now listen carefully.
Retire, Call it a Day
Sorry Tracy, maybe you're just not meant to win a playoff series. Even though you're only 28 years old, something tells me your body can't take it. Maybe the basketball gods don't see you worthy enough to be in the 2nd round of the playoffs. A two time NBA scoring champion, a 7 time NBA All-Star, a 6 time All-NBA selection, 2000-2001 NBA's Most Improve Player. Honestly T-Mac, you are quite the accomplished star.
Again, I know you're only 28 and you have the potential to play until you're 36 but look at yourself. Look how banged up you are. You've suffered back spasms, you were out on a stretcher 3 years ago because of severe spasms and it's so bad it's essentially a chronic problem. T-Mac you're playing with a brace on your shoulder as we speak. How can you take the pain?
Think about this route, you've accomplished more than any other player who hasn't sniffed round 2 of the playoffs, and do you really want to risk your career later on to the point where you can't walk anymore? I didn't think so.
Listen very carefully to option 2 now Tracy.
Get Out of Houston
Yeah yeah, I know you have like two more seasons left on the table, but come on, Houston is another failure. You've been there for what, 4 seasons? The results have not been pretty. Twice you lost in game 7 in the first round, including a 40 point whitewash to Dallas. Didn't even make the playoffs in 05-06, and it looks like the Rockets may not even win a game against Utah.
There is not much time left in your career McGrady, whether it's age or your chronic back spasms, it will catch up with you. Get out of Houston before you set yourself up for more disappointment and go to a contender. May I suggest some teams you should think about going to?
1. Orlando Magic. It's your former team, you can accompany Jameer Nelson in the backcourt, and Dwight Howard is more athletic and is all around better than Yao Ming. That's a true dominant big man you want and need for your quest to win a
championship first round playoff series.
2. Phoenix Suns. Okay they probably won't need you, but again, adding you to their roster would make them fully loaded. Imagine it now, you to Nash, who throws it back to Amare, who, double teamed, finds you at the top of the key for an open three. Swish! Nothing but nylon.
3. Golden State Warriors. They missed the playoffs only because they were in the Western Conference. The only question is, can you catch up with the rest of the Warriors, who can run rings around any team (and shoot like crap).
4. Toronto Raptors. Why not finish your career with the team that picked you 9th overall straight out of high school? They really need another star player to help Chris Bosh and you and that Bargnani kid could really do wonders. Certainly you can help Jamario Moon or Sun or whatever not turn the ball over. They need someone with experience, and you may just be the perfect fit.
It's up to you T-Mac. I'd think about trading.
Well it looks like my time is up. But wait!! There is that 3rd option I kinda sorta mentioned in that last option.
Stay in Houston Until Your Contract Expires
You could just do that and hope that in one of those 2 remaining years you have in your contract Yao will actually be healthy and you have a competent bench. Maybe all you need is at least 1 more year before you can reach your "promise land". Get the monkey off your back, get it off the Rockets, and your coach Rick Adelman.
The choice is yours Mr. McGrady, any of those options you select could change your basketball career around forever. I think you have little reason to stay in Houston, you may think otherwise. Good night Tracy.

The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its solid stock price performance, largely solid financial position with reasonable debt levels by most measures and expanding profit margins. However, as a counter to these strengths, we also find weaknesses including deteriorating net income, weak operating cash flow and feeble growth in the company's earnings per share.

Target: Commissioner of the New York Police Department Bill Bratton
Goal: Investigate the driver who allegedly ran down and injured multiple trick-or-treating children, and prosecute him as soon as possible.
A car jumped the sidewalk of a residential street in the Bronx on Halloween night and allegedly plowed through a crowd of pedestrians trick-or-treating, killing three people including a ten-year-old girl and an elderly man. The driver and three pedestrians, including two young girls, were taken the nearby Jacobi Hospital where the driver is still in stable condition. The other three victims were treated for non-life-threatening injuries and released. The terrifying event occurred around 5pm on a night traditionally filled with festivities and fun, and investigators are still trying to figure out what happened.
What reports do indicate is that a Dodge Charger sports car driven by a 52-year-old man bumped into another car before careening into the sidewalk and over pedestrians, where it landed in the front yard of one of the homes on the street. The aftermath was shocking, the car halfway through the front of a home with the street below littered with debris and several body parts. Demand that the New York Police Department take this driver into custody as soon as he is released from the hospital and prosecute him to the furthest extent of the law.
Dear Police Commissioner Bratton,
A tragic accident occurred in the Bronx on Halloween night around 5pm, during the time most families were walking the neighborhood streets to trick-or-treat in the spirit of the normally festive holiday. This fun-filled tradition turned gruesome when a Dodge Charger allegedly jumped the curb of a residential street and plowed through a crowd of pedestrians, killing three people and injuring others. One of the lives lost in the crash was that of a ten-year-old girl named Nyanna Aquil.
The driver and three other injured victims were taken to nearby Jacobi Hospital for treatment. The injured victims, who were three, nine, and twenty-one years old, were treated for non-life-threatening injuries and released, while the driver is still being held in stable condition. Investigators are still trying to discover what caused the accident and have yet to release any details about the identity of the driver of the vehicle involved. I insist that as soon as the driver is released from Jacobi Hospital, that he be taken into legal custody and charged for his alleged crimes to the furthest extent of the law.
[Your Name Here]

In this year's Field Day, held on May 24, teams of first- through fifth-graders became representatives of countries across the globe, from Argentina to Oman, Finland to Kenya.
The Fifth-Grade Performance Project and acts from younger grades made for a memorable, truly impressive show with the apt title "Unity."
The second "Boyden Buzz" issue of the 2016-2017 school year offers student-authored articles on an upcoming field trip to the Montclair Art Museum, on student helpers in the library, on bouncy seats in certain classrooms, and more.
The freshest school fundraiser you'll ever go to. April 29, 8 to 11 pm, Parlor @ Woodland, Maplewood. $10 at the door, beer/wine $4. 21+ only.
A set of sculptural wooden tables and chairs by local artist John Kaufman are the newest addition to Seth Boyden's Outdoor Classroom. They serve as a tribute to the school's outstanding teachers.
More than 400 people danced in their seats at Grammy-winning Rev. Milton Biggham's educational fundraiser for Seth Boyden on March 26.
Chris Healy, author of the award-winning children's adventure book series The League of Princes, led an assembly of third- to fifth-graders as part of Seth Boyden's Read-A-Thon.
Jasmine Lyons, Seth Boyden second-grader, reports on a fabulous Harlem Renaissance-style Rent Party.
Rev. Milton Biggham, a Grammy-winning giant in the world of gospel music, will host "The Story of Gospel: A Unique American Art Form" on Sunday, March 26, 2017 at 4 pm in the CHS auditorium as a fundraiser for Seth Boyden.

Seth Boyden and New Jersey Performing Arts Center (NJPAC) partnered for another year of Dancing Classrooms!

Crowds of families – and even Maplewood mayor Victor DeLuca – gathered in Seth Boyden's Outdoor Learning Center for the school's Harvest Festival on October 15. The festival offered an array of fall-themed activities, games, and crafts as well as homemade cupcakes and the school's signature chili.
At the first big assembly of the school year, Japanese drum masters Nancy Ozaki and Gary Tsujimoto introduced Seth Boyden students to the thundering rhythms of Japanese taiko drums.
After two decades of gradually transforming its back yard into a vibrant Outdoor Learning Center, Seth Boyden Elementary is inaugurating the final and most highly anticipated phase of an open-air classroom.
Seth Boyden Elementary School has bid a warm farewell to its principal of ten years, Mark Quiles. The school now welcomes new principal Damion Frye, who was most recently Special Assistant to the Assistant Superintendent of the Newark public school system.

PITTSBURGH, PA – October 8, 2014 – ComponentOne a division of GrapeCity, the largest component solution provider in the Microsoft Visual Studio Partner Ecosystem has announced today at the Xamarin Evolve 2014 Conference in Atlanta, GA a new Beta product named Xuni. Xuni is ComponentOne's collection of cross-platform UI controls for iOS, Android and Windows Phone.
"We designed Xuni to provide native experiences in iOS, Android and Windows Phone using the same API across all platforms," said Greg Lutz, product manager of Xuni. "Our strategy of unifying Xuni at the native level allows us to deliver the exact same, full-featured API across all devices, thus allowing C# developers to get the most out of code reuse in Xamarin.Forms."
Xamarin.Forms, a product in Xamarin's platform for mobile development, allows developers to build native user interfaces for iOS, Android and Windows Phone using 100% shared C#. Xamarin.Forms includes controls and layouts, which are mapped to native controls at run time.
"ComponentOne Xuni will not only work in native IDEs like Eclipse, Android Studio and Xcode, but you can also use Xuni in Microsoft Visual Studio with complete Xamarin integration," said Lutz.
"ComponentOne Xuni is a fantastic addition to the Xamarin.Forms Ecosystem," said Joseph Hill, co-Founder of Xamarin. Xamarin is cross-platform software which simplifies mobile development by allowing users to develop once in C# and output to all mobile devices. "With Xuni you get the kind of powerful controls for building enterprise-level apps that our developers are eager to take advantage of," said Hill.
The Xuni Beta page www.componentone.com/xuni provides insight into the first wave of what Xuni will offer and it includes data visualization with charts i.e. financial and pie along with an array of gauges. The company's full release will include dashboard support, animation, markers, and full touch support. Lutz shared that the ComponentOne development team is working to shortly debut the company's signature data grid control, FlexGrid as part of the offering in Xuni. "With FlexGrid developers can create both bound and unbound grids, merge cells, and more with many other features unique to FlexGrid," said Lutz.
Xuni is expected to fully release in the latter part of 2014. Currently, ComponentOne is offering early access to developers that signup for the Beta program at http://www.componentone.com/xuni.

Generally, the emergency system (usually an alarm) was activated and the building was evacuated as though a real fire had occurred. When Commander Kess raised an alarm at Ood Operations because of irregular activity amongst the Ood slaves, Solana Mercurio lied to buyers interested in the Ood, telling them it was merely a fire drill.

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
im 22 and live in salisbury nc. i was ticketed going 34mph in a 20mph zone going home trough a little place called spencer, and i didnt realize that the speed changed through there since it was my frist time driveing through spencer and this is my first traffic vilation, i thought i was driving the correct speed. i was going home from grabing lunch from town and tried and alternate route to avoid heavy traffic that i normally encounter.oh the regular speed through out the town is 35mph and that was what i thought the speed limit was, so i drove it.
There's bad news and possibly good news. The bad news is that speeding is not an "intent" crime. That means it doesn't matter whether or not you meant to speed over the limit.
The possibly good news requires that you try to get a court date for your ticket. In many jurisdictions a fine at court may be less than paying the ticket outright. Also, if the police officer who wrote you the ticket does not appear, the state may dismiss the charge against you. This wouldn't happen if you paid by mail. Now, keep in mind that every jurisdiction is different, so you should retain local counsel.
You can also visit my site at http://www.LegalDaredevil.com for more information on speeding tickets in Illinois, or call at (847)337-2716. All discussion is informational only and do not create an attorney-client relationship nor does it constitute legal advice.Ask a similar question
How long have you lived in Salisbury without going through Spencer to go north on 85?????
So you have a ticket in Rowan. Life as you know it is not over yet. You really should get any of the local Salsbury attorneys to get you a reduced non moving violation. It's easy and worth the money!!! Do not hesitate on this one. Best of Luck!Ask a similar question
PS - Intent has nothing to do with this ticket. The judge would laugh at you and would say that you intended to drive didn't you. So you intended to press the gas, if only a little too hard.
Also in Rowan, the police officer not showing up thing does not work. They will continue this until the officer can show up for his regular scheduled court date.
AND DO NOT PAY THIS TICKET BY MAIL!!!!! You would be admitting guilt and no attorney can help you then. Take Care!Ask a similar question

text: In a press release announcing its takeover of the institution, the California Department of Financial Institutions said it had been "closely monitoring the bank and had ordered it to increase its capital reserves to a safe and sound level. But efforts by the bank to do so were unsuccessful." TheStreet.com Ratings had assigned First Bank of Beverly Hills an E-minus (Very Weak) financial strength rating in March, a downgrade from the D (Weak) rating that was assigned in September. The bank was included in TheStreet.com's list of undercapitalized banks and thrifts since a fourth-quarter net loss of $83 million left it with tier 1-leverage and total risk-based capital ratios of 3.37% and 6.45%, respectively. These ratios need to be at least 5% and 10%, respectively, for a bank to be considered well capitalized under ordinary circumstances. Most of the net losses sprang from charge-offs of nonperforming residential and commercial construction loans. Since the agency didn't line up a buyer for the failed institution, the FDIC arranged to pay out all of the its deposits. Checks were to be mailed to retail depositors Monday, except for an estimated $179,000 in uninsured deposits. Brokered deposits were to be directly to the brokers. The FDIC estimated the cost to its insurance fund would be $394 million.

One-Way Car Sharing Debuts in Paris
With Autolib', you can drive the car one-way and find your own way back if you like, but there's a catch: you can only leave it at a designated Autolib' spot, and you have to plug it in.
Yonah Freemark has the story:
"There will be 1,120 stations by next year (up from 33 currently), with 508 planned in the city itself."
"Paris is not the first to pioneer point-to-point car share at a large scale, though it is the first to do so with a fully electric fleet. Car2Go, a subsidiary of car manufacturer Daimler, has since 2008 provided such a car sharing option first in Ulm and then in Austin, Hamburg, and now Vancouver with two-seater Smart Cars, which Daimler makes. The expansion of Car2Go suggests that the point-to-point model is economically profitable and that people appreciate the concept."

INDIA: Ford Mondeo to launch in July
Ford is planning to launch the Ford Mondeo in India in July according to industry sources. The move would reinforce Ford's position in the Indian car market and expand the upper medium segment. It also marks a further extension to Ford's global volume on the generic CD132 platform, upon which the Mondeo is built. In Europe, the latest version of the Mondeo model was launched in the final quarter of 2000. The Mondeo will be imported to India completely knocked-down (CKD) form. It is likely that the car will be launched in a two-litre diesel engine version initially, with a petrol model introduced later
