Panels #6: The Stellar Horizon is Funny
It's a brand new Panels issue with 9 books for me to catch up to including one that started this column and a few new stuff in my pile. Try counting how many of these comics are set in outer space.
Don't judge and let's do this.
Copperhead #3
Writer: Jay Faerber
Art: Scott Godlewski
Colors: Ron Riley
It feels like ages since I last read Copperhead, but the series keeps slowly gaining momentum. This issue has a little bit of everything, with a Sheriff Bronson who must juggle her prejudice of artificial humans, specifically Ishmael, with the fact one of them saved his son's life at the end of the last number.
I think now that the characters are on the board, writers are taking their time to move along and the plot is moving slower for it. The situation is tense all over and Bronson is forced to finally take a leap of faith and trust in others in spite of having caused a terrible first impression upon her arrival.
Something that I didn't like much about this issue is that from the moment I began reading it I felt like I was one or several steps ahead of it, and in a way I was. The only thing I didn't really know was who was behind the murders, but in the end the book didn't give as impressive an answer as I hoped for.
So: Yes. In spite of not feeling as solid as the last two issues, Copperhead remains a strong book thanks to it's character driven narrative and art that keeps inviting me to read it.
Lumberjanes #2
Writers: Grace Ellis y Noelle Stevenson
Art: Brooke Allen
The second issue of Lumberjanes redeemed the previous one thanks to the dynamic between the girls which remains the best part of this book and was particularly fun and at times even endearing.
To win the "naval gauging" badge, the young women must row down a river and of course, what comes next is a ride straight to mysterious adventure. The book's art remains a bit weird for me in some pages as I've still haven't become fully accustomed to it, but this issue game me promise due to its plot and ending which, although sitting on the tame side, still made me want to jump on the third book right away.
So: Yes. I already read the third issue, but I'll leave it for next week to see if someone else catches up.
Magneto #4
Writer: Cullen Bunn
Art: Javier Fernández
Colors: Jordie Bellaire
For the first time since I picked it up, Magneto left me with a bad taste in the mouth. The story seems to have reached a stump and the art in this issue is the worst of all the issues I've read in this book so far.
Magneto walks into his secret base in the woods and then we see him intercepting a bus carrying the ugliest mutants I can remember, who are on the way to a farm led by Purificators, William Stryker's extremist religious group, who will then experiment on their bodies. Magneto deals with the captors in a pretty brutal and exaggerated fashion, but up to this point I'm still thinking everything is cool.
The problem arises when the baldheaded mutant finds the aforementioned Christians and gets rid of them without even moving one step. It's as if these dudes were there just to fill pages and nothing more. Then end of the book is capped with another one of our anti-hero's monologues, except this one falls flat and feels more like an old coot with mental diarrhea.
So: Yes. I give you the "red Yes" in which I give this book a last chance. Of course I'll read Magneto #5, but if it disappoints me again like this issue did, I'll pull it out of my list.
Batgirl #36
Writers: Cameron Stewart y Brenden Fletcher
Art: Babs Tarr
Colors: Maris Wicks
The Batgirl of Burnside is back and this time what I was least interested in were the parts where our heroine dons the cape and cowl. This issue is made almost entirely to make you care about Barbara Gordon as a human being more than as a crimefighter.
Everything, from the initial panels where our girl meets her new study partners, to the way she manages to beat this week's villains by remember a pivotal moment of her childhood, it's a link that goes directly to the heart of what makes Batgirl interesting when all she really wants is to finish her uni project.
It's hard not to bring up those Peter Parker comparisons again, but here's the girl who keeps reeling us into her sitcom social life and I'm enjoying every moment of it.
So: Yes. I liked this book a lot. The tech and apps references were toned down quite a bit and the few that popped up came about in a subtle way. Besides, Babs Tarr designs the most believable outfits in comics right now.
Roche Limit #2
Writer: Michael Moreci
Art: Vic Malhotra
Man. I don't know. This book began with a monologue that felt like it belonged to the ending of the previous issue. On top of that, the way the first part is narrated felt rather confusing, revealing the elusive Moscow to the reader who does nothing but blabber talk. A but is coming.
When Roche Limit is halfway and Alex Ford reveals his true intentions and reasons to help search for Bekkah, it's as if someone had finally opened the window to a very dusty room, to let sunlight shine in. Suddenly I'm very invested in knowing what is the fate o this guy, whose past is a very cool spoiler that really presents the character in a different angle.
Sadly, one character alone can hardly carry a whole sequential book, so I hope there are new faces coming with as much if not more hubris than Ford soon, because the ones remaining are not up to snuff yet.
So: Yes. Roche Limit suffers from the same symptoms Low presented with me at first. Key parts of the plot have been revealed too slowly, almost to test the limits of my patience. The next issue better not drop the ball.
God Hates Astronauts #1
Writer: Ryan Browne
Art: Ryan Browne
Colors: Jordan Boyd
This fucking book. I cannot recommend this book more if, like me, you've not read something like Nextwave: Agents of H.A.T.E. in a while.
Where to start… it's got an intergalactic superhero named Star Grass who has a ghoulish cow head and a baby with his wife, Starrior. How did I learn this? Thanks to a flashback narrated by 3D Ghost who… well.
There are some redneck space farmers who are into bestiality and are trying to destroy NASA, and there's a war about to break out between Sir Hippothesis and the kingdom of King Tiger Eating A Cheeseburger. Not recommending this book would be akin to a sin in the comic books religion, if such a thing exists in this world.
This. Comic. Is. Real.
So: Yes, dammit, yes.
The Kitchen #1
Writer: Ollie Masters
Art: Ming Doyle
Colors: Jordie Bellaire
This comic caught my attention with it's three strong-looking women in the cover, made by Becky Cloonan — and you should know I love me some Becky Cloonan art.
My curiosity paid dividends with the inside story set in the 70s where Jimmy, a notorious loan shark in Hell's Kitchen, New York, ends up in jail along with his two partners and is unable to financially support his wife and kids.
Jimmy's son, Jack, takes the wheels of the business unwillingly, but in Hell's Kitchen you can't do risky business being afraid of getting your hands dirty. Knowing that her son is losing respect in the streets, Kath decides to get dirty and reclutes her two friends and wives of Jimmy's partners to go collect the money they're owed.
So: Yes. I liked the book's illustration and the accents on the characters. I have the feeling that when Jimmy comes out of jail, his hood will be so different he won't be able to adapt to the new management.
Rasputin #1
Writer: Alex Grecian
Art: Riley Rossmo
Colors: Ivan Plascencia
A book about Grigori Efimovich Rasputin that explains his life using action and magic? Sure, why not?
This particular book is very well illustrated and I didn't take it because I'm fond of the title character, but rather because I was curious about how someone would approach the subject matter. I compare it to the recent fixation on the origin of Dracula, trying to justify the conduct of a character that's been by and large considered a villain for decades, if not centuries.
The first issue didn't disappoint and to be honest it's more along the lines of what I expected from Magneto, except it uses a character that isn't openly "bad" from the get go.
So: I don't know. I don't know when the next issue is due, but if I don't forget about it I'll pick it up.
Death Sentence #1
Writer: Montynero
Art: Mike Dowling
A book with a Mark Millar quote on the cover isn't precisely a thing that thrills me, but Death Sentence deals with very interesting although not so original ideas.
In Death Sentence, the population of America and Europe is threatened by a new sexually transmitted disease which — wait for it — gives superpowers and meta human abilities to those who catch it, before they die, of course.
The story focuses on several characters with radically different lives and equally distinct powers. They all know their lives are close to ending and suddenly the only thing they want to do is live life like never before, but of course there are people out there who study those with the disease and they don't want them running around doing crazy things.
The art on this reminds me of Gabriel Ba and Fabio Moon's line work which is to say it looks very good. The narration has a distinctly familiar feeling to it and what little I saw from each main character has me interested in all of them and their powers.
So: Yes. I'm not too familiar with Titan Comics, but this book could change all that, because it's very cool.
Panels is a weekly column where I talk about one or three comic books I'm reading and why I love them or want to burn them. Read the archive here.

Audie Award Nominee, History, 2013
Midcentury Los Angeles: A city sold to the world as "the white spot of America", a land of sunshine and orange groves, wholesome Midwestern values, and Hollywood stars, protected by the world's most famous police force, the Dragnet-era LAPD. Behind this public image lies a hidden world of "pleasure girls" and crooked cops, ruthless newspaper tycoons, corrupt politicians, and East Coast gangsters on the make. Into this underworld came two men - one L.A.'s most notorious gangster, the other its most famous police chief - each prepared to battle the other for the soul of the city.
Former street thug turned featherweight boxer Mickey Cohen left the ring for the rackets, first as mobster Benjamin "Bugsy" Siegel's enforcer, then as his protégé. A fastidious dresser and unrepentant killer, the diminutive Cohen was Hollywood's favorite gangster - and L.A.'s preeminent underworld boss. Frank Sinatra, Robert Mitchum, and Sammy Davis, Jr., palled around with him; TV journalist Mike Wallace wanted his stories; evangelist Billy Graham sought his soul.
William H. Parker was the proud son of a pioneering law-enforcement family from the fabled frontier town of Deadwood. As a rookie patrolman in the Roaring Twenties, he discovered that L.A. was ruled by a shadowy "Combination" - a triumvirate of tycoons, politicians, and underworld figures where alliances were shifting, loyalties uncertain, and politics were practiced with shotguns and dynamite. Parker's life mission became to topple it - and to create a police force that would never answer to elected officials again.
These two men, one morally unflinching, the other unflinchingly immoral, would soon come head-to-head in a struggle to control the city - a struggle that echoes unforgettably through the fiction of Raymond Chandler and movies such as The Big Sleep, Chinatown, and L.A. Confidential.
For more than three decades, from Prohibition through the Watts Riots, the battle between the underworld and the police played out amid the nightclubs of the Sunset Strip and the mansions of Beverly Hills, from the gritty streets of Boyle Heights to the manicured lawns of Brentwood, intersecting in the process with the agendas and ambitions of J. Edgar Hoover, Robert F. Kennedy, and Malcolm X. The outcome of this decades-long entanglement shaped modern American policing - for better and for worse - and helped create the Los Angeles we know today.
A fascinating examination of Los Angeles's underbelly, the Mob, and America's most admired - and reviled - police department, L.A. Noir is an enlightening, entertaining, and richly detailed narrative about the city originally known as El Pueblo de Nuestra Señora la Reina de los Angeles, "The Town of Our Lady the Queen of the Angels."
"Important and wonderfully enjoyable." (Los Angeles Times)

A good (but a little corny) history of LA
- Jimmy
It was a struggle for me to finish this book
No, unless they wanted to relive the shame of the LAPD's last forty years.
Stop the authors notes. It distracted. They should have been incorporated into the story.
Also, the 1991 Riots from the Rodney King verdict were included in the epilogue. Why not have kept it as part of the story, unless you didn't want to explain the 20+ years in between the Watts Riots and the RK verdict?
basically, I didn't think the story lived up to the title and description of the book.
No, but he gave a good read.
Actually, I probably would because most of what would translate to the silver screen would hold my attention.

Arda Turan made his debut for Barcelona in the 4-1 victory over rivals Espanyol at the Camp Nou in the Spanish Cup Last 16 first-leg on last Wednesday.
The bearded winger revealed that he was delighted with the result but underlined that he has a lot more to offer his new team.
Turan did state that he was a little excited going into the game as he would be playing for what he believes to be the greatest team on planet Earth.
"I was a little excited but it was a really enjoyable game and I am delighted with the result," Turan told reporters after the game.
"I feels great playing on the best team in the world and it is fantastic to be back on the pitch after so long."
The Turkish international also underlined that he was pleased that his debut game ended in a victory.
Turan said: "It would have been terrible to lose the opening game so thankfully we turned the game round after going behind to an early goal."
Messi scored the goal of the evening after a tremendous free-kick which hit the cross-bar and went in after which he whispered something in the Turan's wingers ear.
Just what was whispered is unknown as Turan would not say but it seems the bearded winger has settled in well with arguably the best player in the world.
Turan told reporters after game: "Messi whispered something in my ear but that will stay with me let's just say we have had a little joke."

Renewed Joy In Gaming
Our priorities are misaligned. We need the scales of integrity to stand even, instead of tipping over for the sake of escaping the mundane.
The main purpose of gaming is not merely to be entertained, but that through its joyful activity we may experience the joy of seeing God in all of the good that games prove to be.
Christians GO
Jesus has forever bridged the gap between
holy God and sinful man. Pokémon GO
is a good analogy of this reality.
Heroes Of Pixels & Polygons
Gaming often depicts digital characters as being heroes that save the day.
But the Bible speaks of heroism in a totally different way.

With so much attention placed on how a game looks, might it matter to God what we play?
$tewardship Of Gaming
Stewardship is a common theme throughout the Bible and rightly so—how you manage the resources you're given plays an impact on the life you lead.
What does gaming cost you? Consider your time, money, energy, relationships and life. All of it is to be managed to the glory of God. It's time to weigh gaming in the balances and see if it's helping or hurting your cause.

Six Flags New England kicked us out on Halloween night. My cousin, who does not speak English well and had two beers was stopped by security. When I explained my cousin was from Europe, and did not speak fluidly the security guard SNICKERED at me the whole time. He was almost unable to contain his laughter as he ruined our entire holiday evening. P..S. Don't plan to dress up for Halloween, if you wear a costume with face makeup or a mask they will make you wash your face and confiscate you mask as well as any costume props they deem to be unsafe. After they kicked us out, they even refused to give me back my costume props. They escorted us out with NO REFUND!BE WARNED! Six Flags is full of power-trip security guard bigots, they will find any reason to steal your money and refuse entry on a discriminative basis for their own entertainment or satisfaction.

I worked there last year and got injured they didnt give a crap and refused me first aid when I and a friend asked for it. I hated it, my knees ewersre shattered for about 5 months, not being able to kneel, and having trouble squahting and my knees cracking everytime I walked. BUT>>>>>>>>>>>>>>I went back in, this year got a pass, and am going today. i had a good tme and yes they can be really really uncaring but all you have to do if your unhappy with the situation is to go to another ride or see an employee (someone with a radio/phone but radios are better.) Then say can i talk to the manager of this ride i have a conplaint or if its really good say i have a complement of a worker/show/ect…In the end you have to understand they work fromits always 1-1 1/2 hrs b4 opening Ceremonies till a hr after park closing.
Jack Nowlin
The rides were amazing but it was pretty pricey. The first time I went without a flash pass and it was torture. Every single line was crammed and it wasn't like we went on a holiday. The next time I went we had the gold flash pass and it was amazing! You would just choose a ride and the longest wait was for bizzaro which was only 30 min and we didn't even have to wait in line. Also that ride we only went on twice so it was well worth it. All in all, don't go to six flags without a flash pass unless you have a season pass or you are going on like a Wednesday afternoon on a school day. 3 out of 5 because of needing the expensive flash pass.
sadie saldana
I love six flags I am a from new england but everytime I come for certain ride its always down and to top it off the number online never gets anyone real and hangs up all this money they charge to get it and no one can give a straight anwser

Worst experience! If there were no stars, I'd give it that. We had 2.5 hours to spend at the park as part of a road trip. There were seven of us in our group. It was $59.99 per person to get into the park. The lines were unbelievably long with very little movement. We arrived at the park at 3pm. When I realized that it was looking like riding ANY rides was becoming a reality quickly, I decided to share my frustration with one of the ride managers. She said that she feels bad because some people end up chasing the closures of the pools without getting on rides or even in water as the pools have to be closed frequently to check ph and such. Her suggestion was that they offer other programs (for MORE money) such as skip the line perks. But, my issue with this is anyone skipping the line leaves the hundreds of other ppl waiting to WAIT even longer….total marketing ploy to make even more money. $59.99 and not one ride? WE'LL NEVER GO BACK! THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE, RIDICULOUS LINES, OUTRAGEOUS MONEY, NOT WORTH IT!

Please contact Cumbria Community Foundation on firstname.lastname@example.com or call 01900 825760 for further help. Applicants may be contacted by Cumbria Community Foundation and asked to provide additional information to assess the project.
Your entry cannot be changed once submitted so you need to check your entry carefully before submitting.
Acceptance of application at moderation stage is not full due diligence. Full due diligence will be completed on only those applicants that go through to the voting stage.
Entries that don't meet the eligibility criteria above will not qualify for any grant and will not be posted on the Community Choices website. If Cumbria Community Foundation determines that an entry does not meet the eligibility criteria at any time it will be removed from the process. In these cases, Cumbria Community Foundation will contact the individual who submitted the application to advise them of the decision.
Sellafield Ltd and Cumbria Community Foundation reserve the right to reject entries that are incomplete, illegible, false, fraudulent or which do not meet the eligibility criteria, or remove them from the process at any point.
A project can only be entered once and each organisation can enter only one project.
Applications will be accepted between 8am on 16th January 2017 until midnight on the 12th February 2017 (the closing date). Entries received after the closing date will not be processed. You cannot alter your application after the closing date.

Cumbria Community Foundation may enter a project into a different category to the one originally selected if they deem it appropriate, however applicants will be notified beforehand.
Entries in each category will be divided into bands based on the average annual income over the last three years of the organisation that will receive the grant as follows:
|Average Annual income
|Project Category
|>£20,000 <£50,000
|Supporting the younger generation
|Improving health and well being

Evidence of community use
Evidence of community involvement
Organisations ability to manage the project
Value for money
All approved entries will be published on the Community Choices website on 27th February 2017, which will be open to voting by registered users of the site.
There will be a launch event for all projects that are successful in getting through to the voting stage. The event will take place at 14:00hrs on 26th February 2017 at Lakes College. Each organisation is expected to provide an appropriate individual to attend this event.
The voting period will be open from 8:00am 27th February 2017 until midnight on 26th March 2017.
Registered users will have 10 votes to use during the voting period and can vote for the same entry more than once and/or for multiple projects. Registered users who have submitted an application are allowed to vote for their own entry. Once a vote has been cast it cannot be taken back.
If Sellafield Ltd or its partners discovers fraudulent or ineligible votes these will be removed from the process. Whilst we encourage organisations to promote their project to potential voters, this must not extend to any attempt to pressurise voters, use undue influence or seek to distort the voting process (for example by recruiting registered voters who are not actually eligible to vote).

The award and impact assessment
The organisations relating to the grant winners will each receive the grant by way of BACS payment from Sellafield Ltd within 6 weeks of notification, provided that they have complied with these terms and conditions and satisfied due diligence requirements. Grants are non changeable and non-transferrable. Any award will be regarded as a 'one off' grant and no commitment is given to any ongoing funding. Some large grants may be paid in stages where applicable.
If any finalist or winner does not meet the terms and conditions, the organisation relating to the relevant project will not be eligible to receive a grant and the applicant who received the next highest number of votes in the relevant category and satisfies the due diligence checks will receive the grant instead.
Grants can only be used for the purpose stated in the application. If for any reason a grant cannot be used for such purpose the individual entrant can approach Cumbria Community Foundation and Sellafield Ltd to approve redirection of the grant to another project led by the same organisation. If the revised entry does not meet these terms and conditions Cumbria Community Foundation and Sellafield Ltd reserves the right to reclaim the grant.
If grant winners spend less than the whole grant awarded for the project, the winner will notify Cumbria Community Foundation and may have to return the unspent amount.
Where grant monies have been spent on the purchase of any equipment then the consent of Cumbria Community Foundation must be obtained before any such equipment is sold, relocated, disposed of or used for another purpose. Failure to advise Cumbria Community Foundation of disposal of such items may result in grant money being reclaimed.
Grant winners will notify Cumbria Community Foundation if an allegation relating to child protection, financial misconduct or health and safety or any other incident or circumstance likely to bring the organisation, project or the grant scheme into disrepute or damage the reputation thereof occurs or is to be investigated.
Accurate records of expenditure relating to the grant must be kept by the organisation and retained for at least seven years and be made available to Cumbria Community Foundation or its representatives if requested.
The award is a donation and Cumbria Community Foundation and Sellafield Limited are not liable for the consequences of its use.
All winners will be asked to complete a monitoring form, usually within six or twelve months after the award has been given. You will be asked to summarises the outcomes of your project and the difference it made to the beneficiaries. Failure to complete this form may result in the award being returned.
You will monitor the progress of the project and complete any reports using the required forms. A final project report should be completed and submitted on the project completion date or 31st March 2018, whichever is sooner.
Voting is now closed!

The latest veteran to make a switch to faith-based music is Danny Liston, a singer and guitarist who made his rounds in the music circuit in the group Mama's Pride, a Southern rock outfit that shared the stage with the likes of Lynyrd Skynyrd, Wet Willie, and the Allman Brothers Band. But being the son of an alcoholic, not to mention numerous gigs with Southern rock's greatest bands, got the best of Liston, who drank heavily and abused drugs as part of his high-flight lifestyle. It took a head-on encounter with God at a church service that he begrudgingly attended to completely turn his life around.
Recorded at the illustrious Ardent Studios in Memphis,
By the same token, Liston's spiritual reformation and his simplistic chapter-and-verse lyrical approach do not mean he is skimping on his strong blues and rock tradition in favor of something safe for the whole family. Au contraire, Liston keeps his soulful roots vocals and reputable guitar prowess firmly in place, in no small part thanks to producer Jim Gaines (Santana, Tower of Power, Stevie Ray Vaughan), whose extensive rock credentials only help the album retain its classic qualities.
That explains why it's such a joy to hear rollicking sing-along numbers like the Proverbs 3:5-inspired "Trust in the Lord" or the Psalm-like "No Other God Like Mine," both of which are replete with worshipful statements that are commonplace in God's Word and Christian music, yet never come across as clichéd at the hands of Liston. Even the oft-covered hymn "Amazing Grace" is given a cool rock 'n' roll makeover, played to the tune of "The House of the Rising Sun" (a nice little treatment employed by the Blind Boys of Alabama on their Spirit of the Century album).

Any company can talk about itself, but the real proof is in what their clients say. SSP constantly works to deliver not just expertly implemented technology solutions, but to make sure that communication, organization and expectation all align for smooth and timely delivery. But again, that's us saying it.
See what our clients have to say:
"Our experience with SSP Innovations was very positive. Our project manager was extremely knowledgeable and very patient with us. I am positive that their help and support was a key factor in the successful implementation of our GIS Platform. We still have a lot we want to do with GIS, but we have a strong base thanks to SSP. Thank you SSP!"
Teresa Neal
"Very knowledgeable staff and great at sharing their knowledge. The SSP team was willing to give extra coaching where needed due to our inexperience."
Don Henk
"The entire experience to date has been a pleasure. David was patient and diligent in dealing with folks on our side to get established as a vendor. The on-site workshop was genuinely enjoyable. Skye brings an awesome enthusiasm and breadth of experience. I walked away from the workshop with potential solutions I didn't even think were possible. "
Isaac King
"The format of the training was very hands on, which I believe is the best way to learn new techniques and practices. Overall it was a great learning experience."
Brandon Carrick
"Such a joy watching all of you work, you are all masters at your craft. My respect for SSP only grows every time we work together. "
An-Louise De Klerk
"We needed to get the Inspections project up and running quickly so we leveraged SSP's experience and tool set along with ArcGIS Online and had a working solution in one week. That's the kind of solution a Co-Op with limited GIS resources like ours needs."
Russell Shirley
"Great solution provider and honest project partner. They treat you like they want you to be a customer for life."
"We got Fiber Manager™ implemented and into production in less than a week. Excellent work!"
"Working with SSP is one of the best decisions MTEMC GIS has made. Their exceptional solution design and excellent services are not only refreshing, but truly have transformed GIS at MTEMC."
An-Louise De Klerk
"Thank you again for honest, professional, and convenient service. Please keep up the good work and down to earth way of doing business."
"I intend to continue to call on SSP for GIS work and value the relationship and skill they have."
"We got more than we expected. Jeff provided a lot of knowledge to help us analyze and improve the database on our own going forward. If SSP Innovations had been the project manager from the very beginning of the project, things would have gone better."
"With our project completed, we now understand the capabilities and workflows necessary to leverage Portal for ArcGIS Server."
"It was great having quick responses to questions."
"SSP exceeded our expectations on this project as they always do. We not only receive exactly what we request from SSP, but walk away with better understanding and knowledge."
"Brian Higgins and Konstantin Korchakov were always great keeping us in the loop on where the project was. Any issues were quickly addressed. The documentation provided was really helpful for both installing and training purposes."
"This was a fast and successful implementation which allowed MLGW to reap the benefits of the technology with a significant ROI. "
Michael Faulk
"I enjoyed working with Dennise Ramirez during the Designer™ Evaluation, I think her findings and recommendations were very thorough and objective. "
"SSP did an excellent job of deciphering a complex integration/process and adding value to it. "
Isaac King
"The software upgrade project goals and objectives were completed in a timely manner. Glendale-GWP required adjustments in the project schedule to thoroughly complete Unit Testing and confirm complex configuration tasks. SPP was flexible to allow time to finish, not rushing the project which helped customer satisfaction. "
Anthony De La Sota
"Documentation was clear and concise and helped me to be able to deploy the Disaster Recovery solution to production without additional assistance. "
Nathaniel Everett
"As an entire company, we were extremely pleased with the service and knowledge brought to us by the staff at SSP. I am excited to keep the relationship going for years to come."
Matt Augustine
"It made a big difference to have the vendor onsite, both from a technical standpoint when unexpected troubleshooting occurs and the psychological benefit of knowing if we ran into trouble they would be ready to assist. "
Ryan Miller
"SSP Innovations exceeded expectations throughout the project. This started with a very detailed project questionnaire, multiple discussions, and a comprehensive proposal. From the start of the project to the completion, SSP worked above and beyond to help FPWC accomplish a successful upgrade of the GIS system."
Billy Canady
"Thanks for all your and your team's hard work for this project. With all the issues we had along the way, SSP found solutions and the implementation went smoothly. As a result, today there are very few issues with Designer. Thanks for making this project a success. I look forward to working with you all on the next project."
Philip Davenport
"I just wanted to let you know how excited I am to be working with you guys!! I've probably spent more time on your website researching and watching case studies on how you guys have helped companies thrive. Which gets me excited on taking Midwest Energy to new levels."
Matthew Augustine
"For MLGW, being able to contract SSP Innovations to implement a solution in two weeks' time at a reasonable cost helped us tremendously. Being able to implement a TOTAL solution in two weeks was just great."
Michael Faulk
"Whenever you hire a vendor you can generally expect to get about 70% of the value of their sales offering, but with SSP Innovations I feel like we got 130%. This was a fantastic project."
Daniel Flowers
"This was my first project work with SSP, and I was very pleased with the level of service that I received. Dean was very helpful in working with me in regards to the scope and estimating of the project.

The arrival of a new baby affects each individual in the family. Parents take childbirth or refresher classes to prepare. But what about those first-borns who are struggling to make sense of the tremendous changes just waiting to happen?
The sibling group is available for future siblings and their parents. The goals are to help siblings adjust to a new baby in the family and prepare children for their mother's stay in the hospital.
The class helps children learn what to expect using:
- Discussions
- Demonstrations
- Art projects
- Age appropriate stories
These activities help to prepare kids for upcoming changes in their lives, explore their feelings about becoming a big brother or sister, and provide them with infant facts.
The group also serves to address fears or concerns about Mom's visit to the hospital. Program participants get to tour the hospital and see locations that include: labor and birthing rooms, recovery rooms, ORs, and more. At the end of the class, each child receives a certificate of completion.
The group meets on the third Tuesday, every other month. Pre-registration is necessary, as group size is limited. Families usually register for the group when Mom is about 28 weeks pregnant. Minimum age for a sibling to participate is three years old, and at least one parent must accompany child. Cost for the one-time group session is $15, payable to UHA.
Please check the OB/GYN website for any schedule changes.
Cost: $15
Time: 5:30 pm – 7:30 pm
Location: The OB/GYN Clinic located on the fourth floor, in the Physician Office Center, next to Ruby Memorial Hospital.
The class is offered Tuesday evenings; upcoming dates will be announced soon!


text: Rather than take the "On the Waterfront" thread off-topic, I started a new one. I hope the subject isn't too off topic for this forum, but I have a question regarding watching Academy ratio films on an Academy ratio SD TV set using a Blu-Ray player. I have a 35" Mitsubishi 4:3 TV set from 1994 which still gives an excellent picture. Given the state of the economy and the fact that I seldom watch widescreen movies (my favorite era is 1920s-1950s) I have no plans to buy a 16:9 set anytime soon. But it's clear that I may want to get a Blu-Ray player within the year, since that's the direction things seem to be headed for deluxe releases such as "The Robe." And if Blu-Ray is the future, I might as well start buying BD discs of my favorite films from the classic era as they come available. But how will Academy ratio films such as The Wizard of Oz play on my 4:3 television? Will it be window-boxed within a 16:9 window? How about "The Robe?" I assume it would look exactly the same on my set as an SD version would? Please enlighten those of us who would appreciate the improved sound of BD but who have no plans to jettison their $2500 Academy-ratio TVs anytime soon.

Senate President, Dr Bukola Saraki on Wednesday argued that the continued delay passage of the Petroleum Industry Bill (PIB) is impeding for the success of the oil sector and denying Nigeria the unique opportunity asanoil and gas leader in Sub Sahara Africa.
Saraki stated this on Wednesday while declaring open the Public hearing on the PIB at the National Assembly, which was attended by stakeholders.
While, the PIBwasstalling andits passage delayedat the National Assembly, investment decisions in the industry continued to suffer, keeping the countrys future in limbo and denying Nigeria the unique opportunity asanoil and gas leader in Sub Sahara Africa, Saraki said.
Saraki expressed regret thatsince 2008 whenthe PIBwas first introducedthroughto the 7th National Assembly, the bill has not been unsuccessfully passed by the National Assembly.
While promising its passage by the 8th Senate, he said The 8thSenate recognizesthatthe reasonfor thedearth of reformin the industry is notdue tolack of trying.
Read His Full Address Below:
The petroleum industry remains the mainstay of the Nigerian economy.Oil and gas have been, and will likely remain for the foreseeable future, Nigerias most important non-renewable energy source. Theindustry contributesover 90% ofthecountrys foreign exchange earnings.The industry is therefore critical to the economic and social development of Nigeria.This all-important sector of the economy has for too long performed below efficiency indexes, with government and investorsalikelosing significantedge in the oil and gas investment trends. The case for change cannot be more compelling considering that existing petroleumlegal, regulatory and institutional structuresareout-dated.It is unacceptable that till date, we still import over 90% of needed petroleum products (petrol and chemicals),weflare substantial gas produced,wehave damaged our eco-systems and polluted our communities and cannot supply adequate electricity toourhomes and industries. This situation has undermined our citizens standard of living, life expectancy, our national energy security and has resulted to other unforeseen fall-outs like: labour unrest; fuel queues; high cost of delivery of products; high cost of delivery of overall services in theoveralleconomy; and unquantifiablewastage of nationalproductivityas a result.The state of the industry globallytoday,hasheightened and made itimperative that either wecomprehensivelyreformour local industry to have a chance to keep italive or become extinct.Theoil and gas industry is yearning for good governance, competitiveness, transparency,indigenous participation andaccountability.The 8thSenate recognizesthatthe reasonfor thedearth of reformin the industry is notdue tolack of trying.Since 2008 whenthe PIBwas first introducedthroughto the 7th National Assembly, several versionsof the billhave unsuccessfully made their waythrough the National Assembly.
While, the PIBwasstalling andits passage delayedat the National Assembly, investment decisions in the industry continued to suffer, keeping the countrys future in limbo and denying Nigeria the unique opportunity asanoil and gas leader in Sub Sahara Africa.
Thishistory of thepetroleum industry reform effort necessitated a rethink by the Senate on theirapproach andmethodology. Thisgave rise to thechoice of thecurrent reform projectby the 8thSenate.In our view, the petroleum sector is a politically sensitive industry with diverse and divergent interests.It was therefore important to recognize that for thereformtosucceed, there was the needto unbundleitinto manageable compartmentsthat could be passed and implemented intranches.We were able to achieve this through extensive discussions, collaboration and the participation of all stakeholders; a process that we at the 8thSenate commenced as early as mid-August 2015 with a series of informal contributions that have culminated here today.At this point, let me thank all those who contributedinformally in moulding the bill, helping to unbundle itscontentsso that it is for this reason and others that we are today looking at the first of a series of bills arising from the intended reforms of the industry startingwiththe Petroleum IndustryGovernance and InstitutionalBill.It is widely acknowledged that major reforms in the governance and institutional structure for the sector are necessary and urgent. A major drawback of the existing framework is the lack of clarity of roles, self- regulation, conflicts and unnecessary overlaps.The key objectives of the Petroleum Industry (Governance & Institutional Reforms) Bill therefore is to reform this segment of the industry by introducing international best practices that have led other countries to success in the development of their various oil and gas sectors. In doing this the bill will enable us;a)Createefficient and effective governing institutions with clear and separate roles for the petroleum industry;b)establish a framework for the creation of commercially oriented and profit driven petroleum entities that ensures value addition and internationalization of the petroleum industry;c)promote transparency in the administration of the petroleum resources of Nigeria;d)createa conducive business environment for petroleum industry operations.This public hearing therefore is another avenue for us to further hear from you the operators, regulators, experts and other stakeholders in the industry as how best to achieve these objectives and move the industry forward in a manner that is efficient, effective and corrective.It is our hope that by the end of your deliberationstoday,wewould have been able tofine-tunethis bill ready for theSenate to consider and pass this first tranche of the bills without any further delay.At the passage of the second reading of this bill, we made a commitment to the Senate, that along with thisGovernancebill, we will begin to tacklethe Fiscal Framework and Host Community issues.I want to use thisopportunity to inform you all that we will be starting informaldiscussions and just as we did on the governance issues, we will be engaging with a lot of you for your contributions, advice and opinions. We believe the two areas,Fiscal Framework and Host Community Issues,truly depend on your engagement with us.The bills on Fiscal Framework and Host Communities will be a shift from the previous approach where the government will force its opinion on all parties.
Here at the 8thSenate,weintend to move away from the way things were done in the past during the consideration of such bills,especially Fiscal Framework and Host communities,we will push for a greater partnership relationship resulting in a bill that is a product of all the views and comments of the stakeholders so that the bill is a win-win for everyone; one that works for government, is attractive to oil companies to come and invest and takes into consideration the concerns of the host communities.
Finally let me reassure all stakeholders that this is just the beginning. We will also tackle the issues of downstream, gas and the environment. We are poised and resolved that we will deal with all issues related to the industry, albeit in tranches. This will ensure thoroughness and effectiveness. As a nation we cannot afford any further delay in our effort to reform our oil and gas industry.The journey begins now and I assure you that we will guarantee that all of these bills are passed in record time. I wish you all very fruitful deliberations.I now declareopen the Public Hearing on the Petroleum Industry Governance Bill (PIGB) 2016.Thank you and May God bless Nigeria.
Mr. Trump, in short, has described a policy of keeping potential terrorists out of the country altogether, even if that means suspending or violating Americas longstanding principles of taking in refugees and not discriminating against immigrants on the basis of their religion. Mrs. Clinton, in contrast, has argued for the vetting of immigrants about their history or sympathy for radical ideology but working to counter extremists messages or behavior.
A core element of Mrs. Clintons counterterrorism strategy has been to build on pilot programs in four communities that, among other features, offer residents ways to report individuals who could become radicalized or otherwise exhibit troubling behavior. The four communities are Minneapolis-St. Paul, Los Angeles, Boston and Montgomery County, Md.
In the Elizabeth, N.J., neighborhood where Mr. Rahami lived and worked, such a program might or might not have made a difference. In recent years, for instance, some friends of Mr. Rahamis noticed a significant change in his personality and religious devotion after a trip to Afghanistan, where he and his relatives are from. But there is no evidence that they alerted anyone, or expressed any concern.
Mrs. Clinton aims to set up an early-warning system, community by community. That builds on a growing number of programs that the Obama administration terms countering violent extremism. The aim is not just to rely on religious leaders such as imams to help detect the early signs of radicalization, but also to enlist teachers, coaches, physicians and others who might notice subtle changes in an individuals behavior and, perhaps with family and friends, intervene.
Mrs. Clinton also suggested, in December, that she would accelerate work with technology companies to take radical speech off Facebook, YouTube, Snapchat and encrypted apps used by terrorists.
You are going to hear all the familiar complaints: Freedom of speech, she told the Brookings Institution. She suggested those complaints should be dismissed.
Continue reading the main storyHer advisers acknowledge this would not constitute a complete solution but neither would immigration bans, which they view as counter to American values.
Look, were never going to be able to identify every potential bad actor solely through a police record or their involvement with other bad actors, said Daniel Benjamin, a former State Department terrorism coordinator and now a scholar at Dartmouth College. So having more eyes on this, and more awareness within communities, is absolutely essential, and will have to be a key part of the solution.
Mr. Benjamin, who is an adviser to the Clinton campaign, acknowledged Tuesday that theres no guarantee that such programs would have identified Rahami ahead of time. But he said Mr. Rahamis case, and that of a Somali-American man who stabbed 10 people at a mall in St. Cloud, Minn., before he was shot and killed by an off-duty police officer, appear to be examples of fairly dramatic changes in behavior that might have set off alarms.
Mrs. Clinton spoke by phone for 45 minutes on Tuesday morning with a group of top national security and counterterrorism advisers about lessons learned from the most recent terrorist attacks and what additional steps a Clinton administration would need to take to prevent strikes on American soil, according to a summary of the call that the campaign released.
They also discussed how to ensure that the police and other law enforcement agencies followed up on individuals who had been previously identified as possible threats. Mrs. Clinton has called for an intelligence surge to improve information sharing among federal agencies and with foreign partners.
Mrs. Clinton and her advisers mulled over ways to combat so-called lone-wolf attacks and online radicalization without specific direction or enabling from groups like the Islamic State or Al Qaeda and how we can best balance the right to privacy with this modern national security imperative, according to the summary.
Finally, the group examined the dangers of inflammatory rhetoric, generalizations and expressions of prejudice, all of which Mrs. Clinton and her supporters have accused Mr. Trump of using in his social media comments and campaign speeches.
Mr. Trump has one word for those solutions: Weak.
He argued during the primaries that he would temporarily ban all Muslim immigration, a position that received withering criticism from his own party. (He also said he would take out the families of terrorists, a violation of international conventions.)
He combined that with what he maintains would be a far more relentless attack on the Islamic State, including seizing oil in areas where it operates, presumably in Iraq (although most of the oil belongs to Iraq, and the Bush administration always went to some lengths to say it would be preserved for the benefit of the Iraqi people, not sold by the United States).
Continue reading the main storyUnder pressure, Mr. Trump amended his approach to saying he would temporarily ban immigration from countries that have been breeding grounds for terrorism; he seemed to have Afghanistan and Pakistan in mind. But that definition could easily embrace Germany, France, Belgium and Britain as well.
Had that program been in effect in 1995, it might have stopped Mr. Rahamis entry into the country as a 7-year-old, or his readmission in 2000, when he and his family were admitted as refugees.
Mr. Trump said in a rally on Tuesday that the lesson of the New York and New Jersey bombing attacks was the need for an immigration crackdown.
These attacks were made possible because of our extremely open immigration system, which fails to properly vet and screen the individuals or families coming into our country, he said. Attack after attack from 9/11 to San Bernardino to Orlando we have seen how failure to screen who is entering the United States puts all of our citizens in great danger.
He said Mrs. Clinton was for people pouring in from Syria, though the 10,000 refugees who have come from there this year is a tiny fraction of what European nations have taken in. Mr. Trump called for stopping the massive inflow of refugees, which Hillary Clinton is trying to drastically increase.

Court Overturns Ruling that Struck Down California Teachers' Tenure - Patch.com
LOS ANGELES, CA - In a major victory for teachers' unions, a state appeals court panel today overturned a Los Angeles judge's ruling that struck down California's laws granting tenure to educators.
The panel ruled that while there appear to be "drawbacks" to the state's statutes governing tenure and the firing of teachers, the plaintiffs in the case failed to prove the laws are unconstitutional.
The ruling by a three-judge panel of 2nd District Court of Appeal struck down a decision made in June 2014 by Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Rolf M. Treu, who found students and teachers alike were "disadvantaged" by the statutes.
The judge noted that teachers have a right to due process when they are being targeted for dismissal, but the current system is "so complex, time consuming and expensive as to make an effective, efficient yet fair dismissal of a grossly ineffective teacher illusory."
The lawsuit, known as Vergara v. California, was filed in May 2012 by a privately funded advocacy group called Students Matter on behalf of nine young plaintiffs, alleging the laws violate students' constitutional rights to an equal education.
More from Across Patch
The suit named the state and two teacher unions that later intervened as defendants, the California Teachers Association and the California Federation of Teachers. The unions argued that the laws governing tenure ensure that quality teachers are in classrooms.
In a hearing before the appeals court panel in February, plaintiffs attorney Ted Boutrous argued that teacher job protections result in a "dance of the lemons," in which "grossly ineffective teachers" are simply transferred from school to school.
"It's impossible to dismiss these teachers," the attorney said, adding that poor teachers invariably end up in low-income and minority outposts.
"The students' fundamental right to a quality education is being violated," Boutrous said, urging the panel to affirm Treu's ruling.
But Deputy Attorney General Nimrod Elias argued that there is no evidence that students at some poor and minority schools are being harmed by the protections.
"These laws help reduce teacher attrition," he said. "There are benefits."
Elias also argued that school districts statewide attract educators who might otherwise be dissuaded by what they may consider low pay and difficult working conditions. In California, administrators must in effect decide whether to grant teachers tenure -- permanent employment -- after just 18 months.
In its 36-page ruling, the appeals court panel noted that the case pointed out "deplorable staffing decisions being made by some local administrators that have a deleterious impact on poor and minority students in California's public schools."
"The evidence did not show that the challenged statutes inevitable cause this impact," the court ruled. "Plaintiffs elected not to target local administrative decisions and instead opted to challenge the statutes themselves. This was a heavy burden and one plaintiffs did not carry. The trial court's judgment declaring the statutes unconstitutional, therefore, cannot be affirmed."
Officials with Students Matter said they plan to appeal the ruling.

If you must hire someone to help you out with your HVAC system, be sure to learn about all of the requirements your state has legislated regarding licencing and insurance. You need to be able to ask anyone you plan to hire if they meet these requirements before you hire them.
Be sure to learn about all of the requirements your state has legislated regarding licencing and insurance if you must hire someone to help you out with your HVAC system. If they meet these requirements before you hire them, you need to be able to ask anyone you plan to hire.
Be sure to pick ENERGY STAR rated products to use if you want to save money once a new HVAC system is put in place. They are very energy efficient so your new system won't cost you a ton when it comes to your utility bills every month, recouping some of your installation costs.
If you do have a good experience with a HVAC product or contractor, let others know. Go online and post a review so that people can easily find out what and who brands to trust. At the same time, you can check reviews online to learn more yourself about what's available.
By the end of spring, the fan blades and coils of your condenser should be thoroughly cleaned, so operation can proceed with greater efficiency. Shut off power before working or cleaning your system. Clean the outside of your condenser unit regularly.
By replacing it with a new energy efficient one or moving your old one to a shady outside location, you can boost the efficiency of your HVAC unit. The unit will have to do less work cooling this air.
When the weather cools down, turn your outdoor condenser off. This means that you should turn it off to prevent damage if the weather falls under 60 degrees Farenheit. This can keep your system working for years and save you a lot on repairs.
Do you hear a clicking sound when your fan is turning? This may mean that there is something in the way of the blades of the fan. You must replace it, just unbending it will leave the fan unbalanced and can cause further issues, if it gets so bad that the blade bends.
Preferably twice, per year, though you should have your HVAC system inspected at least once. This visit will include a motor inspection and checking the freon. This will keep you energy comfortable and efficient.
Consider an annual service agreement for technicians to regularly inspect your AC unit. Schedule brief inspections for the winter to make sure nothing is obviously wrong. The most important time for an inspection and service is just before it starts getting warm. You don't want to discover an AC breakdown when you need it working most.
There hvac contractors nj are sizing calculators available to determine the proper sized system for your home. If you purchase something too large, you will be throwing away money. Look in the manual or on the manufacturer website for this information.
Looking for an efficient way to cool your home? Consider installing a whole-house evaporative cooler. They use water to cool air instead of traditional chemical coolants, using a ton less energy to cool your home than those other units. That said, they do work best in dry climates and not at all in humid ones.
Every year hire someone to give your HVAC unit routine maintenance. This will ensure that it works properly throughout the entire year. It will also allow you to have lower cooling and heating bills. When your HVAC is running properly, it will use the least amount of energy and save you money.
It's important to have windows and doors that are efficient for the most efficiency for your HVAC unit. Make sure they are tightly sealed so air can't seep in. You can hire a professional to test them all for you and often this testing is free.
If you hear clicking noises from your condenser fan, make sure that it is not striking something inside the unit. It may be bent if it is not hitting something. Do not try to straighten the blades. This could cause it to become unbalanced. Simply replace the blade to ensure proper rotation.
When you are looking to buy a new air conditioner, consider your climate. Dry area, then an evaporative cooler will be your best bet, if you live in a hot. If you live in a humid area, opt for a compressor-style unit as it's the only one which will work.
If you are hunting for an HVAC company, try to find a company that has plenty of equipment experience. The right company should know how to operate the HVAC brands that you want installed or repaired. They should also be able to answer questions that you have about them.
It is important that any contractor you hire is familiar with your make and model of HVAC unit. Ask them what brands they work with most frequently and compare it to what you have. Instead consider who has the best reputation if you can't find a contractor that knows your brand well.
Never hire anyone to work on your HVAC system unless they are licensed and bonded. This industry is one where mistakes happen often and you want to make sure that you are protected. You do not want to be stuck paying for medical bills that are more expensive than the work you were having done.
Determining the right HVAC service professional to provide repair or replacement work can be tough when a certain amount of know-how is lacking. To really ensure that the best approach is being taken, some advance research is essential. Hopefully the material presented above has fulfilled readers' needs for useful insights in this realm.
After touring Syrian refugee camps in Jordan, Republican presidential candidate Ben Carson on Saturday suggested that camps should serve as a long-term solution for millions, while other refugees could be absorbed by Middle Eastern countries.
"I did not detect any great desire for them to come to the United States," Carson told The Associated Press in a phone interview from Jordan. "You've got these refugee camps that aren't completely full. And all you need is the resources to be able to run them. Why do you need to create something else?"
The retired neurosurgeon toured the Azraq camp in northern Jordan under heavy Jordanian security, with journalists barred. Carson's campaign also limited access, not providing his itinerary.
After the Azraq visit, Carson said he didn't learn anything that gives him confidence in authorities' ability to screen potential terrorists. "What I learned is that you're going to get a different answer from everybody depending on what their slant is," he said, reiterating his opposition to allowing any Syrian refugees to come to the United States.
"I always oppose doing unnecessary things, particularly dangerous and costly unnecessary things," he said.
Related: Carson Slams 'Hypocrisy of His Doubters on Foreign Policy
Carson called on the American people not the U.S. government to launch a "humanitarian drive" to raise billions of dollars that officials say is needed to improve conditions for refugees settled across several countries in the Middle East.
"All they need is adequate funding. It's really quite impressive when you go over there and see it," Carson told the AP, adding that some areas had recreational facilities, schools, electricity and indoor plumbing. "They were a lot happier. They were quite willing to stay there as long as it takes before they can get back home."
Carson's visit comes as he tries to strengthen his fluency on international affairs as foreign policy becomes a greater focus in the 2016 presidential contest. Advisers have conceded that his knowledge of global affairs isn't where it needs to be and have expressed hope that missions like his two-day trip to Jordan will help.
Carson and other Republicans have adopted a harsh tone when discussing President Barack Obama's plan to welcome 10,000 Syrian refugees to the U.S. in this budget year. Debate over Syrians fleeing their war-torn country erupted after a series of attacks in Paris earlier this month that raised security concerns across the West.

I've never made sites for anyone, so I've never been paid for it. Everything I've done has either been for me or just for fun. I have very good knowledge of CSS XHTML PHP and MySQL. Now I would really like to do this for the summer, and I know that you can make a good amount of money with this kind of job. Of course, I would charge less for being "new." My problem is that I don't know how to get my name out there. I don't know how to advertise this within my city. I was wondering if people could help find ideas of how to get started with this small independent summer job. If you have any questions about something I didn't mention, I'd be glad to answer. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thanks in advanced.
