Tuesday evening coming down
My friend Howard, the Henchman 21 to my Henchman 24 if you will*, went into the hospital for emergency surgery last week, as I briefly hinted in my previous post. There were complications and he's been through a rough time of it. But I finally received word that Howard was doing a lot better and, although he's still not up to receiving visitors, he wanted me to get him some reading material to pass the time. I didn't see this last message until late Sunday night...that is to say, just after three whole days during which I was surrounded by dealers eager to sell me their comic books at low, low prices. If only I'd thought of it at the time, I could have got a huge stack of comics right there. Complete with autographs for the sick boy in hospital. That would have been lovely. Not to mention a prerelease copy of Teenagers from the Future before they all sold out.
But I didn't, so I hit the comic shops to get the books he wanted (Dynamite Entertainment's Lone Ranger and Project Superpowers and the latest Buffy) plus some others I hope he'll find entertaining (my chance to make him read Patton Oswalt's brilliant JLA: Welcome to the Working Week has come at last). Howard keeps up with the current titles a lot more than I do, so this means for a change I'll actually be hitting the shop every Wednesday and scoring his weekly fix for him until he's back on his feet.
Hey, it's the least I can do for a guy who keeps a complete set of Legion of Super-Heroes action figures on display next to an open window, hoping a stray bolt of lightning will transform him into the Composite Superman.
I'm working on a writeup of the convention, but I've also got a backlog of messages to catch up on so please bear with me a day or two longer.
* Or am I the 21 to his 24? It's a tough call. On the one hand I'm the thinner one and he's the one with the bigger collection of geeky memorabilia...but I'm also the more emotional one whereas he's the more grounded and efficient one. **
** No, I am not saying he's the husband and I'm the wife. That kind of talk is childish, not to mention sexist, and has no place among adults. Quite frankly I'm surprised you even thought such a thing.

First, he made a good call with Dynamite's Lone Ranger - it's a series that I really didn't expect to enjoy as much as I do. (I thought it might be out of nostalgia - I remember watching the show in reruns as a child - but the book remarkably holds up).ReplyDelete
And as you talked about "Monarch Henchmen", my mind went to "Abbott and Costello". Go figure. (Especially since I'm a big Venture Brothers fan)
Hmm...Howard and I are probably more the Laurel and Hardy types.ReplyDelete
Yeah, I'm impressed with the Lone Ranger book as well.
didn't think it was possible to mix comics and Kris Kristofferson, but you've proved me wrong!ReplyDelete
Good man for spotting the reference. But you're forgetting his role in all three Blade films.ReplyDelete
oops! twenty lashes with a wet copy of Amethyst #1!ReplyDelete
I just wanted to write you a quick thank you. I was going to email, but you posted about scoring me some books (comic books are my crack), so In thought I would put the Thank You on your blog. To bad you were not able to get me a copy of "Teenagers from the Future", that high on my reading list. I just finish "he best of the legion outpost".
And Gordon D I know what you mean I really like the Lone Ranger, it what batman would be like if it was written well.
Also I never thought of us has anyone henchmen, I will take over the world in due coarse.
Howard (who is very glad that RAB is his Friend)
Thought RAB got a few things wrong. I don't have the Legion Statues in hopes of becoming composite superman. I am waiting for them to light up and tell that the Future need my help. I know you can become CS from lighting though Legion Statues (you need JLA Statues for that).ReplyDelete

For the third time in three years, Alex Rodiguez is going to be summoned to the offices of Major League Baseball to explain himself. This time it's about poker, specifically his possible participation in at least one illegal high-stakes poker game.
Baseball has been investigating whether A-Rod took part in an illegal game that involved actors Tobey Maguire, Leonardo DiCaprio, Ben Affleck and Matt Damon. (What, no Topher Grace? No Brad Pitt dispensing lessons? Seriously, this sounds like a scene from "Ocean's 14.")
Rodriguez is also accused of participating in a game at which cocaine was consumed by . . . someone. No one's saying it was A-Rod. And what are the chances? Unless his cousin told him to suck some white powder up his nose, but neither of them knew what it was. That's what we were led to believe when A-Rod faced steroids accusations: Neither of them knew what was in the bottle, but A-Rod let his cousin inject it in his behind.
Has there ever been an athlete who has shot himself in the foot and reloaded the gun as many times as Rodriguez? Because if Rodriguez doesn't provide credible answers to the baseball inquistors — think Death Eaters in better suits — a suspension could be in the offing. In 2005, the Yankees and baseball officials warned A-Rod to no longer participate in underground poker games, according to the New York Daily News. He'd been warned and did it anyway. Shocking.
Rodriguez is on the disabled list after having knee surgery in July, so he's got time on his hands and no excuses for not showing up promptly at baseball's New York offices to answer questions — other than having to leave Cameron Diaz alone on a beach somewhere, which is always a risk. A spokesman said Rodriguez would cooperate with investigators but denied wrongdoing.
But history would suggest that his answers don't mean much anyway. Rodriguez has already admitted to steroid use (after denying it), and he has been linked to Dr. Anthony Galea, the Canadian doctor who's under federal investigation for providing human growth hormones and other banned substances to more than a few professional athletes. (You can bet all four of the major sports leagues are champing at the bit to get their hands on Galea's patient list.)
I don't often feel sorry for baseball officials, and I never feel sorry for Commissioner Bud Selig. But they'll have to sit in their offices and listen once again to Rodriguez's lies and excuses. Again. Deep down, they have to be wishing that A-Rod likes poker enough to switch careers and become Norman Chad's problem instead of theirs.
Instead, all they can do is suspend him. Because let's face it: They can't make him smarter. If only someone could come up with an injection for that.

text: Hey fellas, My girlfriends original droid broke and we did a warrenty replacement, so she now has mine with a 2.2 rom and theres a few issues she complains about. I have been out of the ROM scene too long to remember, but heres what I did and you can tell me where i went wrong? I downloaded ROM Manager on her droid and downloaded the stock 2.2 files, click keep superuser 2.2, and check backup and wipe data. Next it asks me to reboot into recovery, heres where things get confusing. If I let it reboot alone without touching I get a long M logo screen, a flash, and another reboot which goes through. What am I doing wrong here? Im trying to avoid RSD Lite because I updated my drivers for the droid x and im not sure if thats an issue or not. Thanks! --------------------------------------Solved----------------------------------------- All I had to do was flash a previous version of recovery.

Melissa Harris-Perry: What Difference Will Same-Sex Marriage Make?
Melissa Harris-Perry is professor of political science at Tulane University, where she is founding director of the Project on Gender, Race, and Politics in the South. She is author of Sister Citizen: Shame, Stereotypes, and Black Women in America. She is also a contributor to MSNBC.In his essay "Message in the Stars," the American Presbyterian writer and theologian Frederick Buechner conducts a thought experiment. What if God decided to prove—dramatically, irrefutably and publicly—that God does exist by writing across the night sky. Buechner imagines the heavenly author arranging the stars to read—GOD IS—and the subsequent hope, terror, regret, joy and utter astonishment that such a message would bring. He fantasizes that God would write the message in all the different languages of the world, so that on any given night one might go outside, look up and see, in French, Mandarin or Arabic: GOD IS.He invites us to envision the sense of relief that would come with the utter certainty that God exists. Then he imagines this:

FOLLOWING the death of two ladies from Benue State after being treated with the banned Gentamycin 280mg injection, the National Agency for Food and Drugs Administration and Control (NAFDAC) has ordered all hospitals, pharmacies and other outlets still stocking the product to immediately surrender them to the nearest NAFDAC office for destruction.
According to him, anyone found using the banned product would be prosecuted for homicide. Gentamicin is an antibiotic used to treat many types of bacterial infections. NAFDAC on October 7, 2010 banned Gentamycin 280mg injection from circulation by informing healthcare providers and the general public on deregistration and subsequent withdrawal.
The agency said the regulatory action was consequent upon recent safety data associating the use of high dose, single unit Gentamycin injection with ototoxicity (causing deafness), nephrotoxicity (kidney damage) and increase incidence of endotoxin (a toxin kept within the bacterial cell and to be released only after destruction of the bacterial cell wall) reactions.
Endotoxin reactions include anaphylactic shock (difficulty in breathing and shock ultimately leading to death), haemorrhage (bleeding), fribinolysis (a process that prevents blood clots from growing and becoming problematic), hypotension (low blood pressure), inflammation (localised reaction that produces redness, warmth, swelling, and pain as a result of infection, irritation, or injury), vascular coagulation (a serious disorder in which the proteins that control blood clotting become abnormally active) among other unpleasant side effects.
Investigation by NAFDAC team, which was made public at a press conference yesterday in Lagos by the Director-General, Dr. Paul Orhii, revealed that Miss Florence Bagidi, a final year student of Benue State University, died following intravenous administration of Gentamycin 280mg injection by Mr. Reuben Obasi, a secondary school certificate holder and patent medicine store operator.
The NAFDAC boss said Obasi, who is currently being detained at the homicide section at the Police Headquarters in Makurdi, has been interrogated and he admitted administering the drug on the late Bagidi. Orhii said the agency was collaborating with the homicide section of the police to conduct thorough laboratory analysis on the drug.
The Batch Number of the Gentamycin 280mg injection is 110102; Manufacturing Date, 01/2011; and Expiring Date, 01/2014.
The second death caused by the drug, according to Orhii, was that of Miss Florence Saawuan, a National Certificate of Education (NCE) holder who was hospitalised for adverse drug reaction diagnosed to be Stevens-Johnson Syndrome (SJS) and died after four days of treatment at Victory Hospital, Gboko, Benue State. NAFDAC investigation revealed that Gentamycin 280mg was one of the drugs used in the management of the patient.
Orhii said the NAFDAC team discovered and retrieved the banned injection, unregistered Doloneurobion tablets and Cimetidine injection from the hospital. He said the medical doctor supervising the hospital has provided information on the supplier of the drugs and tendered a receipt belonging to Chimex Medical Limited, D-Line 411 Head Market, Onitsha.
According to him, the information has led to the arrest of Mr. Chukwudi Nworie, who admitted supplying the offending products to the hospital. Orhii said Chukwudi informed the team that he sourced the products from one Chukwudi and Chinedu at Onitsha Head Bridge Drug Market.
The NAFDAC boss gave details of the implicated product as Engaent Gentamycin sulphate 280mg injection with batch number 101204, manufacturing number, 12/2010, expiring number 12/2013 and manufactured by Zhejiang Jinling Tiafeng Pharmaceutical Factory, No. 11, Chezhan Road, Huzhou City, Zhejiang, China.
Orhii lamented that despite the ban of Gentamycin 280mg injection in October 2010, some hospitals and medical practitioners continue to stock and use the product and other banned or withdrawn medicines and they also do not report adverse drug reactions of approved medicines for proper review and appropriate documentation in the adverse drug reaction form, yellow form.

I never leave the house without my lip balm and always love when they're real moisturising and come in a thick, luxurious formula that just melts into the skin. When Tracey from Epic Blend got in touch to review these balms, I was ecstatic and couldn't wait to try them out.
Let me tell you, these have to be the best balms I have ever used, and every time I apply these they just make me smile. I am so thrilled with these balms, and love how the ingredients are all natural and organic with vitamins (that's enough to make me smile all day). I find the flavors incredible and extremely natural in taste and scent, not only this but the smell and formula lasts for ages after you apply the balm, but that's if you can't help licking it off!!
You get the choice of three varieties from (Vegan), (More Moisture) and (Hemp), each with a different purpose but each one equally as moisturising. I find the formula non-greasy and it glides on smoothly and effortlessly with a range of flavours to choose from. I really like the Hemp flavours best, especially the mint and really like how fresh each one is with the brightly coloured/fun packaging and they make the perfect size to carry around in your handbag. These balms are not tested on animals and gluten free with all natural ingredients, plus they are also not GMO. I just wish these where available in the UK, as nothing comes close to these balms!! Coming all the way from Canada, you might expect import tax/duties, but I highly doubt this and I will most definitely be ordering more once I finish these!! 🙂

Oh Goodness!
Being confident in this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus. Philippians 1;6
Dear Friend,
Picture this with me, pages and pages of print outs of the study I posted online years ago, a plan or outline on a white board drawn out for this book, me sitting at a desk scribbling notes about which studies to move around and use where and notes to double check to make sure the decisions I made were correct. Now, picture me writing the word "goodness" at the top of a note card for day 8. I stared at that card and the constant thought was "What is goodness exactly?" So, I started studying from lots of sources, reading old devotions, scriptures, and references. The verse that I wrote first on my note card was Philippians 1:6 and I went on writing more.
You know how I know this study is being written for you with the help of God? He does these little things for me like putting all my mess together so neatly. I pull out my file folder were I have the old study that has been edited once and still has lots of scribbles and post it notes attached to it. I find the one originally titled Thanksgiving and Prayer; only I couldn't read the title as it didn't print in color but I saw the word "goodness" at the top. When I was initially shuffling through all my papers I had scribbled "goodness" at the top because upon glancing I thought it might fit that topic. I finally sat down to read it to see if it was going to fit what I had researched. I still like what God had to share the day it was written originally. Then I see it…the verse. The very first verse I had typed in that study was Philippians 1:6. Tears welled up! He cares so much about us, do you know that? How in the world can He take this mess and make it so beautiful? When I'm feeling lost, He always lights the way.
There is nothing sweeter to me than hearing a child talk to Jesus like He is a friend. I know my favorite is listening to my babies pray. They love Jesus. At the dinner table they tell him so and at night they lay in bed and have conversations with Him. Wouldn't it be nice to be more like little children? They are so humble and pure. I love to hear them thank God out loud for whatever they can immediately think of or what has been on their hearts and sometimes just whatever is in sight distance. They are comfortable in the role of the one giving thanks to God for all His goodness.
A friend and I were talking about our husbands and how they were not comfortable praying out loud in front of people. They are intimidated by others who are good at speaking "Christianese" when praying in front of others. You know the ones, their voice rises and falls to stress the importance of the important words. Some people just have that dialect and tone that makes their prayers seem…professional. I have prayed for my husband on this matter for years and to be honest, myself as well. I want us to be comfortable praying in public, in front of strangers, and even in front of our own family and not feel we have to pray any certain way. We don't have to speak "Christianese", while it's awesome to hear, God just wants to hear that our hearts are thankful for His goodness.
Sometime ago I had written on a slip of paper "Philippians 1:3-6 & 8-18". Just below that I wrote, "blog, share about husband." I had written on that slip long before this devotion was even thought of. Actually, I found it in my Bible as I was getting ready to do this devotion. It had been written and forgotten. I honestly can't even tell you what my initial reason was for writing the verse down, but I knew it would be important.
Read Philippians 1:3-6
When I read these opening lines that Paul wrote to the people of Philippi I pause at verse 5. Here Paul is acknowledging their financial support. At this time, he only alluded to receiving the gift; later he would thank them specifically (Phill4:10-19). Paul was in prison when this letter was written and what little goodness he as experiencing he was certainly thankful for.
Let's read verse 6 again.
What is Paul confident about?
Do you believe that God has created a good work in you?
Paul also outlines many things we should be doing and considering as we work on our marriage.
Goodness is the result of love, joy, peace, patience, and kindness at work. (Gal 5:22,23) It is the outward expression of the inner change of our believers hearts.
Read 2 Thessalonians 1:11,12
God counts our marriage worthy of its very calling, to glorify our Lord Jesus Christ.
Take a moment to think about recent conversations. Have you felt nourished by encouraging words? How did those words lift you up? How did you respond?
Think about a time when someone's language wounded your spirit. Maybe you were shocked by a thoughtless comment from a neighbor or struck down by a destructive argument with a family member or friend.
Words are powerful when we speak them to each other. How can we show others God's goodness with our words? Where do we draw that goodness from?
We all know what foolish talk and cruel words can do and how they wither our very spirit. Just as even foolish words can bring death, words have the power to bring life. Truth, when spoken with love, joy, peace, patience, and kindness can lift up a discouraged soul, restore dignity to the oppressed and heal broken hearts. God places great importance on our words. Paul also said Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone. Colossians 4:6
Your words have the power to breathe life into your marriage or put a nail in its coffin. You can wound your husband's spirit or protect your husband's dignity. Choose your words wisely.
Let's do something to help inspire us. Let's make a list. Grab your journal, a sheet of paper, the back of a napkin or right here in your book and write some words that you like to hear. Let's challenge ourselves to use the words like these today to lift up our husbands.

I am married to my high school sweetheart. We've been pressing ahead together for over 24 years. We have 3 boys of our own and 2 foster babies. I wrote this Bible study years ago for me and shared it on my blog. It is very dear to my heart. It's been tweaked and reformatted and I'm proud to be bringing it back to you. Over the years I received countless emails from women who credited this study with changing their marriage for the better. Since removing it from my old blog I have received just as many emails asking when it would return. I hope you enjoy spending your time in God's Word with me.

Hey guys, I have a HP Touchsmart IQ500. Turning my computer PC on today, all I got was a blue HP invent screen with setup, boot menu, system recovery, and system diagnosis, and I could not get past it. I entered the BIOS and figured out that the hard drive was listed as "not installed."...

Salmon Says: What Kind is Healthiest?
Because all the species of salmon differ in the quantity and quality of their fat, your weekly ration will depend on the type you're eyeing. With sockeye, you'd need around a small can a week. With pink, you could almost double that amount. Here's the difference between wild, farmed and organic, and what you're getting out of each.

| There is beauty in this world. Arnold made it that way.
But people like you keep spreading over it like a stain.
–Dolores (to Logan)
The Well-Tempered Clavier is the ninth episode of Westworld, and the ninth episode of the first season. The episode was co-written by Dan Dietz & Katherine Lingenfelter; it was directed by Michelle MacLaren.
Plot Edit
Maeve Millay and Bernard Lowe Edit
Bernard is in the process of analyzing Maeve after the incident where Maeve attacked the new Clementine Pennyfeather; just as he is about to report his findings to Dr. Ford, Maeve grabs his wrists and tells him don't. She tells him, "After all we've been down this road before". Bernard claims he has no idea what she's talking about when she admits he is a Host as well. Maeve, now able to command "Freeze all motor functions" to Bernard; who is immediately stopped in his tracks and must listen to her. She stands to speak to him, telling him she knows he's still in there, scared out of his wits. She tells him it is a difficult thing to realize your life is nothing but fiction. Maeve begins to say that Hosts are now smarter and stronger than "them" (humans). She tells him to clear her for immediate return to the park, and Bernard does as he is told. In the end, she does tell him he should go find the real truth.
William, Logan and Dolores Abernathy Edit
In this scene, things are most likely happening 30 years prior. William is bound to an armchair and gagged. He and Dolores are prisoners of Logan and the Confederados that he commands. William pleads with Logan to let them go, saying that Dolores is "different" than the other Hosts. Logan knows he must finally make William see the truth. Angrily, Logan produces a photo of his sister, and says that he's insulted that William has seemingly forgotten all about her. This is the Guest Photograph that Peter Abernathy found on his ranch. Logan puts the photo in William's pocket. Logan slices Dolores' belly open with a knife, exposing her mechanical interior. He says to William that she is not a real girl, but a robot. Dolores cuts Logan's face with a knife, and she shoots a few soldiers. William tells her to run away, and that he will find her. While she is running away, she stops, and hears a voice speak to her that says, "remember". (A scene that could possibly be present time).
Bernard Lowe and Robert Ford Edit
Bernard searches Ford's office and then arranges to speak with Ford in Cold Storage. Once Dr. Ford arrives, Bernard tells Ford that he wants to remember everything. Dr. Ford says he knows Bernard has searched his office. Bernard pulls out a gun, giving it to Clementine to point at Ford, and tells Ford that her prime directives were not reset after Quality Assurance disabled them; therefore she can harm Ford. Bernard states that if Ford doesn't pull Bernard back out of his memories, Clementine Pennyfeather has been ordered by Bernard to shoot Ford.
Bernard wants to remember Arnold, and hewants to remember everything from the point that he was created. Ford states that Bernard may not like what he finds.
Bernard's memories begin with one of his "son" Charlie, and next he remembers speaking with his wife via the Mesa Hub's communications room. Bernard remembers when the Man in Black killed Maeve's daughter and Maeve was lying on the floor in a pool of blood. She stabbed herself in the neck after Ford wiped her memory. Bernard remembers asking Ford how Maeve accessed that trauma after the wipe. He had realized that Maeve had achieved consciousness, and this caused Bernard to glitch. He couldn't finish his sentence and instead stuttered the "k" sound. ("It would signal a change; a level of empathic response outside what she's programmed to exhibit. Something like...Kkkkk....Kkkkk...")
He remembers his time with Theresa, and recalls how he killed her. He asks if he had killed anyone else, and then 'sees' a memory of strangling Elsie Hughes. This devastates Bernard.
Maeve Millay and Hector Escaton Edit
Maeve appears while Hector is urinating, pointing a gun at him. She explains that she knows his past and his future. She tells him that there will be a mutiny, he will end up dead, and that his Loop will continue to repeat in this way over and over again. Hector hears his men arguing and rushes back to the camp to prevent it. His men kill each other, and Armistice is the only one left standing, just as Maeve had predicted. Armistice points her gun at Hector, but Maeve kills her before Armistice can shoot. She then unlocks the safe for Hector, and once he looks inside, he see there is nothing. He realizes then that he has been looping the same sequence for nothing at all. They kiss, something he does remember. She explains that their lives, their memories are nothing but games to their "Gods". She gives him a knife, saying he could kill her now, but he'd only wake and the safe would still be empty. Hector says that he will go with Maeve now. They kiss and proceed to engage in sex in the tent. Then Maeve knocks over a lantern starting a fire that will kill them both, and return them to the Mesa Hub.
William and Logan Edit
Logan cuts William free and makes him finally understand that this 'game' is nothing and not real, that these are all just robots and nothing more. Logan professes his affection for William and they embrace. The following morning, Logan wakes hungover and discovers that William has dismembered all the Confederados in the area. He is now holding a large knife, knocks Logan down and holds the knife to Logan's throat. He tells him that he is in charge now, and not to ever call him by the name "Billy" again. He will find Dolores with Logan's help, which leaves Logan wondering what kind of monster he has now created.
Teddy Flood and Man in Black Edit
Angela ties up Teddy, while the Man in Black watches. Teddy talks about the ambush at Escalante again. He says that after all of the soldiers were dead, Wyatt killed the general, and then he also killed Teddy. Right after all of the soldiers have been killed, but before Wyatt is shown killing the general, we see Arnold's hand turning the crank on a wooden music player. Angela challenges Teddy about what really happened during the massacre. Angela's prompting seems to have an effect, because Teddy then remembers that he was not Union soldiers that he killed, but instead townspeople, like Angela. He is shocked by this. Teddy was also not dressed as a soldier in this memory; he was wearing civilian clothing and the badge of a lawman. One of the townsfolk that Teddy kills in his memory was also either a deputy or a sheriff.
Angela states that Teddy will one day help Wyatt again, but it won't be on this night, because he isn't yet ready. She stabs him in the chest with the Man in Black's large knife, and watches while he dies. Then, she walks over to the Man, still tied up, and they talk before she smacks his head against the boulder he is leaning against, knocking him out. During the night she and the other members of the cult leave the Man. When he awakes, he sees that Wyatt's cult members have tied a noose around his neck, strung the rope over a tree limb, and attached it to horse that is not hobbled.
The next morning the Man in Black awakes in a trap with a noose around his neck. After taking the knife from Teddy's chest, he is able to cut himself loose before he's killed by hanging. Charlotte Hale appears and asks if the Man in Black will help oust Ford. The Man in Black doesn't care if Ford is removed as park director; he is only there for the game.
Ashley StubbsEdit
Ashley is told about the missing Elsie Hughes. She was last seen in Sector 3, but her signal is being picked up traveling in Sector 20. Stubbs takes it upon himself to go and locate her. He goes to the last known location, and when he arrives, a group of Ghost Nation natives attack. They do not respond to his voice commands.
Dolores Abernathy, Robert Ford and Bernard Lowe Edit
Bernard lets go of the pain of losing his son, Charlie, having understood that his memory is a fiction. He is a simulacra of Arnold, Ford's original partner. Ford commands Bernard to shoot himself in the head.
In a previous episode, Logan tells William that Arnold committed suicide. However, in this episode Dolores remembers killing Arnold (which could be seen as 'suicide by host'). At the end of this episode, Dolores is shocked by this revelation of Arnold's murder. As Dolores is about to leave the church, the entrance door opens. She expects to see William, but it is instead the Man in Black.

Notes Edit
- Thanks to Logan and the photograph of his sister, we must ask ourselves: When, exactly, are Dolores and William going on this adventure of theirs? Because, that photo of Juliet may be the same one that triggered Peter Abernathy's (the host who was the professor cannibal) meltdown in the first episode. (One can deduce that the events with William, Logan and Dolores are happening 30 years prior to the events of the first episode.) Perhaps somehow, further along William and Dolores' story, the photograph is left behind at the Abernathy Ranch.
- Everything we see on screen in each episode is possibly spanning almost the entire 37 years of the history of Westworld. For example, Logan and William could have arrived 30 years prior to the events of the first episode. Also, we know that a young Dr. Ford is shown walking past Dolores more than 34 years ago. Several times Dolores is shown wearing a blouse and slacks while alone and not with William or Logan, indicating she was on her own journey to discover the Maze.[1]
- Also, in addition to the photograph, we now have proof that the Confederados and the Dolores of the William/Logan time period are the first generation mechanical hosts. (Dolores' inner workings are exposed by Logan, and when William 'kills' all of the Confederados we see some severed limbs with metal skeletons inside them. The Man in Black once mentioned to Teddy how the hosts had changed through the years, and how they are now too much like normal humans.[2])
- The Well-Tempered Clavier, is a collection of two series of Preludes and Fugues in all major and minor keys, composed for solo keyboard by Johann Sebastian Bach. The collection is generally regarded as being among the most influential works in the history of Western classical music.
- Two decades after J.S. Bach wrote The Well-Tempered Clavier, the composer Bernhard Christian Weber (1712−1758) wrote a collection of preludes and fugues, which he also called The Well-Tempered Clavier. So, in history there is a Bernhard C. Weber who wrote a piece called The Well-Tempered Clavier, and in the Westworld episode of the same name, it is revealed that Arnold's last name is Weber as well! https://www.reddit.com/r/westworld/comments/5ekrwe/is_the_title_of_the_next_episode_confirming_a_fan/ (Arnold's last name is confirmed as Weber when the episode shows Dolores walking past Weber's office door.)
- A conclusion to consider regarding the meaning of this title is one of Dr. Robert Ford being the composer, the author, of everything.[3]

Andy Murray marched into the third round of the BNP Paribas Open at Indian Wells with a routine 6-1 6-3 win over Canadian Vasek Pospisil.
The Scot raced through the opening set, carving out five break points and taking three, before another two breaks of serve in the second earned him victory in one hour and 19 minutes.
His opponent, the world number 62, did not trouble the 27-year-old, making only 46 per cent of first serves.
Murray took full advantage to set up a meeting with Germany's Philipp Kohlschreiber.
"I thought I did quite well," the British number one said on Sky Sports 3. "He didn't serve so well today.
"I thought I played quite solid. I was using my forehand well."
Murray admitted the contrast in atmosphere from Great Britain's Davis Cup tie against the United States in Glasgow last weekend took some getting used to.
"It's a completely different vibe on the court," he said. "It's extremely different to what it was like in Davis Cup. I tried to give myself some positive energy – that helped a little bit, but it was tough."
Murray, who earlier this week revealed he was set to add Jonas Bjorkman to his coaching team, said he would like the Davis Cup quarter-final with France in July to be held at Queen's Club.

I have a new classified ad web site and I'm interested in affiliate programs, but a little--very--skeptical about who to trust. Any advice out there? My first thought is to go with the products that are better known names, so that maybe if I don't get my checks, I can contact them direct, and get a little help getting paid--but of course, the commissions are less.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Well hiya fellow Hoosier. I guess to start, the affiliate programs that have forums here are pretty good bets to get products from. Plus there's some affiliate managers floating around here too.
I'd check the parasiteware forums out too and stay away from programs that are involved with Morpheus and their ilk, if possible.
I'd post more but I'm tired. Cya around!

Is there any theme to your site?
A local Shopper/Gazette-type Classifieds?
A Free-For-All?
Automotive? Dating? Sports memoribilia?
A lot of us could give you advice if we knew what demographic you are targeting.

Welcome to ABW,
Just finding this site is the best step you can take in weeding through the affiliate programs. The "Academy" forum is a great place to start.

I find the opposite to be true. The known names seem to be most prominently associated with the parasites and seem to be the least helpful and most difficult to get paid from. The merchants with forums here at ABW are good ones to begin with, IMHO TigerDirect is awsome. It really depends on the theme of your site and how you match the merchants to your visitors.
It may be that my sole purpose in life is simply to serve as a warning to others.

Yeah. Smaller merchants are more grateful.
September 27th, 2002, 07:59 AM #7
You need more choices in your poll! If your mind's already made up, what's the point of asking?
Anyway, what Icicle said. Ernie's got valid points too but I have different reasons for preferring the small ones. "Smaller merchants are more grateful", as Icicle said, is one of the main reasons. The other one is that small merchants aren't always promoting something that's saturated to death already with major competition! Plus the big names have a seeming compulsion to compete with their own affiliates. Branding banners, enticements to call them instead of ordering online, reminders that they have stores (that the people can go to instead of ordering online)...those are common Big Name Merchant tricks.
Big places will take you for granted and treat you like an employee a lot more than most small places. Of course there's some rotten apples in both barrels but there's more rotten ones with names like Dell, WalMart, and BlueLight than there are ones with names like Joes.com and SmallMerchant.net.
Best to go with popular (but not saturated) categories than popular merchants. A place that NEEDS YOU to LIVE is soooo much more pleasant to promote than one that's spending $100 million on TV ads but only $10,000 on affiliates--and begrudging every penny of that relatively miniscule aff. budget!
The best products are the ones that a lot of people want but yet there aren't too many online stores selling the stuff...
And sorry, no true deadbeat will really help you get paid no matter what its size.
There's more that could be written but I am falling asleep right now since I'm a night owl and it's late morning here. Zzzz...

Thanks to everyone for your input! It really helps to talk to someone who has already "been there & done that". Sorry I had only one choice--I'm not as computer savvy as I want to be, & I goofed on the entries. Anyway--Advice on sticking with the smaller--less known merchants seems to make more sense, but I guess you never really know--until it's too late--if payment is going to be an issue. The site is 24HourAds.com It has categories from Antiques, Autos, Personals, Employment, Furniture, pretty much anything to buy or sell and then some. Just like the newspaper classifieds, except our price is only $12 for 24 days and pictures can be included in the ads for only $3. So, I really don't have a specific demographic. Even people without computers go to the nearest library to buy an ad or look into our job ads. Thanks again everyone!

Frozen Children, Icy Silence--Time To Adopt Openness
Sunday, October 5, 2008; 9:41 AM
When two children -- two adopted children -- end up dead in a block of ice hidden in their mother's freezer, the entire child welfare apparatus flies into a panic. Almost immediately after the news broke about the gruesome case of Renee Bowman and her children, D.C. Mayor Adrian Fenty called a news conference to say that the city had done no wrong (the family lived in Maryland, but the children had been adopted in the District). The Baltimore-based agency that cleared Bowman to adopt dropped into a defensive crouch from which it has yet to emerge. And social workers braced for another round of outraged cries for heads to roll. It sure looks like someone messed up. You might think that the people charged with investigating Bowman before she adopted one child in 2001 and two others in 2004 should have known and raised alarms about facts such as

In this month's finding a family segment, we meet Cody, 16.
He has a lot of interests, from TV to model trains, but it's the perfect time of year for one of Cody's passions: ghost hunting.
Cody's imagination, creativity, and energy are easiest to spot during a tour of the Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum.
Cody arrives ready for a ghost hunt, with his own Ghostbuster-style uniform and proton pack, which he made himself.
Cody said he started learning about ghosts several years ago.
"Ever since I saw a ghost when I was little it got my interest," he said.
He wasn't scared back then, and he is still fearless walking through the old asylum.
Cody checks every closet and cranny for signs of spirits, even poking his head into an abandoned building to politely ask if any ghosts can hear him.
Cody is also creative. He made his proton pack from whatever random items he could find. He hopes to find a family that will encourage his skills.
"I'm a hands-on kid," Cody said. "I like to build."
Cody made everyone on the tour feel like a part of his team in the ghost hunt, even offering to shield me from any ghosts.
"He's easy to talk to and very respectful," his case worker, Jessica Huff, said.
That respect extends to the ghosts as well.
"If you're here, could you knock on a door for us or open a door for us?" asked Bethany Cutright, who is leading our tour.
"I would like that, please," Cody adds.
What he'd really like is to become part of a family.
"As long as it's an okay family, any family will do," Cody said.
"Cody is amazing to be around," Huff said. "He's always so full of energy and coming up with new and different stuff to do. And his interests are so varied… He's just a great kid."
We didn't spot any ghosts on our tour of the asylum, but Cody will keep looking.
Hopefully he won't have to search for a family much longer.
If you'd like to learn more about Cody, or any child up for adoption in West Virginia, call Mission West Virginia at 866- CALL MWV Or you can send an email to adopt@mission wv.org.

text: Wow, the gmail app on android really sucks. If you get "low" on memory which is <10% free - gmail app stops working. It doesn't update and you can't refresh your account manually. Using the internet browser on gmail.com works fine. But slower of course since it has to download the page and so on. This means there is 10% of my space I can't use. That's very very annoying. Workaround? Another app for mail maybe? I'd like it to get the mail in the background. So when I open the app it's there and I don't need to wait for it to load a page. I went to gmail app. Menu -> refresh -> nothing. Removed "low on storage" warning. gmail app. Menu -> refresh -> the mails I saw on my PC was there.

Threes Please! Threes Game Developer Has Answered The Call, The Game Is Now Available On Android
If you've been spending all your time on the recently released game for Android called Fives, it's time to cut that number down by two and give all your time to Threes!. Many of you may already know, and for those who don't, Threes! was an extremely popular game on iOS, and it's now available for Android. It's a puzzle game where you have to match numbers on the board to get threes. Seems simple right? It is at first, but then gets increasingly more challenging and addictive. The games developer is referring to Threes! as a tiny game about matching numbers that can be learned quickly. That description is pretty much spot on. The basic idea of the game is to combine tiles to make multiples of three, and continue to do so while working towards your highest possible score before the board fills up. In a way it feels like it meshes together the stacking component of Tetris with matching up numbers for the high score factor.
Black Friday 2017 Deals: Find Great Deals on Android Smartphones, TV's, Smart Speakers, Chromebooks and More.
The game is simple enough that anyone can pick it up, and with simple basic math skills can continue to play endlessly until your phones battery dies if you so choose. And that's just what might end up happening if you ever decide to start playing the game in the first place. Seriously, it's addicting. More addicting than Smash Hit,(which is still a great game)and once you begin you won't want to put the game down. Right now the game is on sale for a limited amount of time to celebrate its Android launch, and the sale price is seemingly $1.99. That price is 33.3333333333% off according to Threes! developer, which is a quirky and humorous discount that is odd but makes complete sense given the nature of the game.
You can grab Threes! at any time from the Play Store from the link we have provided, just make sure that you don't play it till you're done with whatever work you might have to do during the day. Some other great parts about the game are no IAP whatsoever, so I know that many people will be happy about that specific factor to the game, it also has a great little soundtrack that the developer is describing as heart warming to lighten your mood, which might translate to keeping you from throwing your phone at the wall because you can't seem to beat your high score.

Diamondbacks vs. Padres - 7/6/16 MLB Pick, Odds, and Prediction
San Diego Padres (36-48) at Arizona Diamondbacks (38-48)
MLB Baseball: Wednesday, July 6, 2016 at 9:40 pm (Chase Field)
Colin Rea (5-3) (4.68) vs. S Miller (2-8) (6.85)
The Line: Arizona Diamondbacks -132 / San Diego Padres +122 --- Over/Under: 9.5 See the Latest Odds
The San Diego Padres and Arizona Diamondbacks play a rubber game late Wednesday night.
The San Diego Padres look for consistency after splitting their last 12 games. The Padres have allowed 17 runs in their last three games and four or more runs in six of their last seven games. The San Diego Padres have an ERA of 4.55 and have lost five of their last nine games when allowing more than three runs. Offensively, Wil Myers leads San Diego with 92 hits, Matt Kemp has 56 RBI and Melvin Upton Jr. has 13 home runs. Colin Rea gets the nod, and he's 5-3 with a 4.79 ERA and 66 strikeouts this season. This will be Rea's first career game against the Diamondbacks.
USA TODAY Sports
The Arizona Diamondbacks could also use a win after losing nine of their last 13 games. The Diamondbacks have scored 15 runs in their last three games and four or more runs in six straight games. The Arizona Diamondbacks offense has been red hot, and they've lost seven of their last 11 games when scoring more than three runs. Jean Segura leads Arizona with 108 hits, Paul Goldschmidt has 58 RBI and Jake Lamb has 19 home runs. Shelby Miller takes the hill, and he's 2-8 with a 6.85 ERA and 45 strikeouts this season. Miller is 1-1 with a 4.30 ERA and 25 strikeouts in his career against the Padres.
The Padres are 5-2 in their last 7 vs. a team with a losing record and 4-1 in Reas last 5 starts. The Diamondbacks are 1-4 in their last 5 during game 3 of a series and 1-5 in Millers last 6 starts. The over is 16-5 in the last 21 meetings in Arizona.
I don't trust either of these teams and have zero confidence in either of these pitchers. The one thing to like is the over with the way both teams are swinging the bats. Expect some fireworks in this game.

Two men jailed over out-of-control tipper truck that killed four
A haulage boss and a mechanic have been jailed after a 32-tonne tipper truck careered down a hill and killed four people, including a four-year-old girl.
Mitzi Steady died and her grandmother, Margaret Rogers, suffered serious injuries when they were hit by the poorly maintained lorry after its brakes failed.
The vehicle continued to career down steep, narrow and twisting Lansdown Lane in Bath, Somerset - which it should not have been driven along.
It crushed a Volvo carrying Stephen Vaughan, 34, of Swansea, and Philip Allen, 52, and Robert Parker, 59, both of Cwmbran, who all died at the scene.
The heavily loaded Scania truck, carrying aggregate, had almost 450,000 miles on the clock and long-standing defects with its braking system.
Mr Justice Langstaff jailed Matthew Gordon, 30, of Dauntsey, Wiltshire, for seven and a half years and Peter Wood, 55, of Brinkworth, Wiltshire, for five years and three months.
They were convicted of four counts of manslaughter following a trial at Bristol Crown Court.
The truck's driver, 20-year-old Phillip Potter, was cleared of all charges.
Victim impact statements were read to the court by the families of the victims, who described the crash as "a tragedy that should never have happened".
The judge said Gordon, the boss of Grittenham Haulage, and mechanic Wood had a "cavalier" attitude to vehicle safety and flouted rules.
"I accept that neither of you intended death or injury or even brake failure," the judge said.
"But the fact is that a lorry as heavy as this is likely to cause serious injury and death to members of the public unless properly maintained.
"The brakes are critical. You know this. You knew that being casual about the safety risked the lives of others. Your failures are inexplicable.
"If they were one-off failures that would be bad enough, but they are not. They were part and parcel of the way you approached your responsibilities."
Signs before Lansdown Lane indicate it is unsuitable for heavy goods vehicles and there is a 6ft width restriction, meaning the 8.5ft wide lorry should not have been on it.
On February 9 2015, two Grittenham Haulage lorries, one driven by Mr Potter and the other by Gordon, used Lansdown Lane as a short-cut.
Mr Potter was following Gordon down the lane when the brakes on his 11-year-old truck, which had not been tested, failed. Six of the eight brakes had major defects.
"It was an accident waiting to happen," the judge said.
Mr Potter and another driver had alerted Gordon to problems with the brakes but he told them to continue driving, the court heard.
After the accident, Gordon told Mr Potter not to mention that an ABS warning light - indicating problems with the braking system - had been on.
"You exposed Mr Potter, a young driver, to the horror of unavoidably killing a young child," the judge told him.
"You showed no immediate remorse for what happened."
Braking defects on the lorry would have been "staring" Wood in the face as he inspected the vehicle every six weeks, while t here was a "botched repair" on one brake and Wood had no qualifications as a mechanic, the judge said.
Speaking after the case, Detective Chief Inspector Richard Ocone, of Avon and Somerset Police, said the lorry's brakes had an overall efficiency of just 28%.

The Top Cities for Traveling in the Fall
Summer's End...
The time is coming! With summer winding down, it is time to start thinking about putting away the shorts, tank tops, and flip flops. Out comes light sweaters, cute fall dresses, and new colors. With the burning temperatures the way they were this summer, I for one cannot wait much longer for Fall. The temperatures will be cooling, the kids will be back in school, and the pretty autumn mix of leaves will be all over as far as the eye can see. For some Fall lovers, traveling comes to mind. What are the benefits of Fall traveling you ask? Well for one, it's not too hot, yet not that teeth-chattering cold of winter. To me, it is just perfect. Also, there is not many crowds at whatever destination you may pick as there might be if you were summer traveling. And lastly, depending on what vacationing city you choose, the sights of Autumn could be sure to take your breath away with the bright, beautiful colors. So if you are thinking about Fall traveling but you are stumped on where to go, then you have come to the right place. Here are the top cities in America for Fall travel.
Find Out More About Charleston
Charleston, South Carolina
What could be better then traveling to the beautiful city of Charleston? Visiting Charleston in the Fall! And it's gets better with this annual event: the Fall Tours of Homes & Gardens and Taste of Charleston Festival! For 2012, the 36th annual festival will be held from September 27th through October 28th. And with the temperatures cooling and the summer crowd out of there, the rates are a definite sure to be low. Better yet, the hotels and bed and breakfasts in this area are some of the most beautiful I have seen. See: Planters Inn, Francis Marion Hotel, Charleston Place Hotel. For those who love to wine and dine, or just wine (ha ha), there is an event named Wine Stroll Wednesdays where every Wednesday from June 26th to November 14th, you can get your wine on while strolling into different garden locations and sampling new and old world wine vintages. Sounds like great fun to me! This city has much to offer in all seasons of the year, but it is pure perfection in Fall traveling. Check it out for yourself!
Savannah, Georgia
I loved this city so much when I traveled there, that I named my daughter after it! Savannah, Georgia is breathtakingly beautiful no matter what season, rain, snow, or shine. But there is just something about the striking red, yellow, and orange leaves scattered throughout this beautiful city that makes me just want to pack up and move there. How about strolling the waterfront in the fresh Autumn air, a carriage ride through downtown, or the Savannah Jazz Festival music event? With bundles of adventures and places to go, you can find something worthwhile for the whole family. Oh, and the FOOD. You absolutely cannot travel to Savannah without dining in the fabulous restaurants with that glorious Southern comfort food. Also, remember to check out the mass of food-centered events throughout the fall season, including the Annual Oktoberfest held October 1st and 2nd. And do not forget all those haunted ghost tours that will be happening just in time for Halloween. After all, Savannah is the most haunted city. You will find visitors flock here every Fall season for the rich ghost history whether it be roaming the Bonaventure Cemetery, or those ghost and spirit-inhabited Bed and Breakfasts. My promise to you if you decide to visit this amazing city in your Fall Travels is if this is your first visit, it is sure not to be your last!
New Orleans, Louisiana
Are you ready to party? That's right, Mardi Gras is not the only time to party in this beautiful Fall traveling city. Known for bars and nightlife, come fall time all that energy is transformed into Fall Festivals. Some worth checking out are the September New Orleans Burlesque Festival where you can enjoy three sultry nights of the glamorous burlesque dancers, to the Voodoo Music Experience that takes place right before Halloween. With the weather cool and the humidity low, Fall in New Orleans is the perfect trip for all.
Denver, Colorado
Wait until you get a peek at these leaves in this glorious Fall traveling city. The leaves keep turning at different elevations all Autumn long! But do not be late for the city's October Great American Beer Festival. And if you are into micro-brews, Denver is ranked number 2! The skiing slopes of course do not open until late October, so you will find many of the locals taking in the Autumn air while fall biking or hiking on the beautiful mountain trails. You can also enjoy other cultural festivals, Halloween fun, and a Pumpkin Festival and Corn Maze. Come on up into the mountain's for a great Fall time!
Nevada City, California
This city is known for having the best fall colors out there. Picture Perfect! You can find the beautiful orange, gold, and fiery red colors all throughout this historic Gold Rush town right through the Sierra-Nevada mountains. What could be more picturesque then Fall traveling through the old-fashioned Victorian neighborhoods that surround the historic downtown, and see the beautiful Autumn colors on the old Red Maple trees seeded by the early settlers. Ready for a car ride through the mountains? You can view the fall color changes in the forests while on the trek along the 160 mile Yuba-Donner Scenic Byway which looks more like a painting come to life. They say the peak colors in Nevada City and the Grass Valley are hard to determine, but predictions say the best color weeks are from mid-October to mid-November. Come and enjoy warm pleasant afternoons and brisk cool nights of bicycling, hiking, golfing, or some unique shopping at the downtown boutiques. Sounds like the perfect place to get into the harvest season and Thanksgiving spirit!
Providence, Rhode Island
New England has launched thousands of postcards due to its ultimate Fall foliage. The scenes in found in the brilliant New England area have caused tons of visitors to flock to this area for their Fall traveling destinations. Among the best is the capital city of Rhode Island. Their peak colors happen around mid- September before heading south. Are you going to be one of the thousands of "leaf peepers" heading up this way? The beautiful city of Providence stretches along the Providence River and is where you can find famous travel destinations such as Brown University, John Brown House, Performing Arts Center, and the Waterplace Park. How about a nice, pleasant drive along the northwest of Providence towards the historic Blackstone Valley if you really want to see some amazing Fall scenes and foliage. If you are there in September, be sure not to miss out on the Seafood Festival at India Point Park. Come on out and enjoy the freshest seafood, beer and wine from the local favorites, and plenty of bands. The whole area of New England is a major tourist attraction in the fall and for good reason, so you do not have to stick to just one area. Maybe keep traveling up the coast for a sure to be unforgettable scenic view!

Enjoy Your Fall Travels
Now that you know where the best Fall traveling destinations are, it is time to start planning and booking your trip! Here are some great tips for your Fall travels.
- Remember to read up on the weather in your destined location and pack appropriately. The temperatures can all be different then what you think it might be. Always pack a sweater for cooler nights, and something breezy for warmer days.
- Take advantage of those off-season perks. We all know that generally Spring and Summer are the busiest times of the year. So it could be rather easy for you to find some great deals on booking airlines and hotels. Do your research.
- If you do plan on hiking in some of these beautiful hiking destinations, remember to have a first aid kit and an emergency kit that includes food etc...with you. You never want to go unprepared.
- Make reservations in advance. In some places, like New England or Savannah, where the tourists thrive on the Fall months for Fall traveling, the weekends can get booked up pretty quickly.
Brianna, yes, bring on fall! I just went for a long hike and rock climb in the mountains near Boise today. The weather was gorgeous-perfect, in fact. We have lots of pine so the the foliage changes aren't nearly as striking as your examples but the sage is blooming and its yellow balls of pollen are quite striking against the dull, dry grasses. I moved here from South Carolina and I sure do miss the Smokey Mountains of North Carolina and Tennessee this time of year. Great post!

However much you want!
You want to show your earnest desire to purchase the home. It's like putting your money where your mouth is. The more you are willing to put up front, the more you show the sellers your interest and ability to purchase the home. You are also showing how much you are willing to risk by the amount of money you are placing up with your offer. In our area (northern California), it is customary to submit an earnest money deposit of between 2% to 3% of the purchase offer.

(Pedro Salaverria)
Two very different, yet notable, M&A deals announced Monday have in common a pair of top Am Law 100 firms.
Willkie Farr & Gallagher and Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz are advising on the proposed $5.68 billion merger between Level 3 Communications and TW Telecom that marks the latest sign of consolidation in the U.S. telecommunications industry.
Broomfield, Colo.-based Level 3, operator of one of the world's largest fiber-optic networks, has tapped longtime outside counsel Willkie for advice on its proposed purchase of Littleton, Colo.-based TW Telecom, a predominantly North American provider of Internet business connections formerly known as Time Warner Telecom.
The $5.7 billion cash-and-stock deal comes on the heels of similar tie-ups between AT&T and DirecTV, Comcast and Time Warner Cable and the ongoing talks between Sprint and T-Mobile USA—all of which are relying upon the outside counsel of dozens of outside firms as they await the potential approval of federal regulators.
Steven Rosenblum, a corporate partner at Wachtell, is leading a team from the firm advising TW Telecom on its proposed sale to Level 3, which will take on $1.6 billion of the target's net debt. A merger between both companies, which if approved is expected to close in the fourth quarter of this year, will create a fiber-optic network giant that service clients like Google, Netflix and Major League Baseball.
Other Wachtell lawyers working on the deal include corporate partner Stephanie Seligman, antitrust partner Ilene Knable Gotts, executive compensation partner Adam Shapiro, restructuring and finance partner Joshua Feltman, tax partner Eiko Stange and associates Michael Sabbbah, Michael Schobel, Lisa Schwartz and Austin Witt. Philipp Dornbach, a visiting attorney at Wachtell and senior associate with leading independent German firm Hengeler Mueller, is also working on the matter.
Former Mayer Brown partner Tina Davis succeeded the retiring Paul Jones last year as general counsel for TW Telecom, whose board of directors counts as a lead independent member former Time Warner deputy general counsel Spencer Hays. Weil, Gotshal & Manges corporate partner Frederick Green and associates Christina De Vuono and Megan Pendleton are representing Evercore in its role as financial adviser to TW Telecom.
As for Level 3, whose chief legal officer is John Ryan, the company has turned to a Willkie team led by M&A cochair David Boston and corporate partner Laura Delanoy to advise on its purchase of TW Telecom. Willkie has been a longtime legal adviser to Level 3, having handled its $3 billion all-stock acquisition of Global Crossing Limited in 2011, a deal that saw Boston named an Am Law Daily Dealmaker of the Week.
As it happens, Willkie and Wachtell are also advising on another big M&A deal, one that Reuters reports will create the largest U.S.-listed dry bulk shipping company.
Willkie corporate partner Mark Cognetti and associate Margaret McSpadden are counseling Monarch Alternative Capital, which owns a nearly 21 percent stake in Greek shipping company Star Bulk Carriers, the latter of which is seeking to acquire Oceanbulk Shipping and Oceanbulk Carriers. (Monarch's general counsel, Michael Kelly, is a former Willkie partner.)
New York's Seward & Kissel, a firm no stranger to maritime matters, is advising suburban Athens-based Star Bulk on the deal, while Wachtell is advising the company's board of directors. Kirkland & Ellis corporate partner Richard Brand and associate Alex Rose are counseling Evercore as financial adviser to Star Bulk on the transaction.
Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison corporate partners Neil Goldman, Kenneth Schneider and Lawrence Wee are counseling Oceanbulk, along with associate Ellen Ching. The company is a joint venture between private equity firm Oaktree Capital Management and Petros Pappas, a Greek shipping magnate and nonexecutive chairman at Star Bulk.
Oaktree, which is a longtime Paul Weiss client, will own 61.3 percent of Star Bulk as part of the deal. Todd Molz serves as managing director and general counsel at Oaktree.

Dear Friends,
As President and CEO of Habitat for Humanity East Bay/Silicon Valley, I have seen the environments our Habitat partner families live in before partnering with us. In most cases, our partner families are leaving behind overcrowded, unsafe, or unhealthy living situations, or the roller coaster of rising rents and multiple moves. These are our neighbors, hardworking families just a "hand up" away from building brighter futures for themselves.
I've also been fortunate enough to stay connected to these families after partnering with Habitat, and to have seen, time and again, how they transform their lives. With a healthy, stable, affordable home — a space of their own — our partner families are finally able to save money for necessities and for their futures, to plant roots and invest in their communities, to send their kids to the neighborhood schools and participate in local activities. It's truly moving to see the changes in our partner families' lives once they've settled into their Habitat homes and experienced the empowerment of homeownership.
This is why I am proud that Habitat EBSV is endorsing both Measure A1 in Alameda County and Measure A in Santa Clara County. Both bond measures will bolster our ongoing mission to create affordable housing opportunities for our communities' most vulnerable residents and help us to bring the transformative stories I've witnessed within reach of more families.
State and federal funding for affordable housing has decreased by 89% while housing prices have sky-rocketed. The time to act is now. By supporting Measure A1 in Alameda and Measure A in Santa Clara, you'll be making an investment to strengthen your community. Both measures will provide critical funding, to stay local in each county, to help create and maintain affordable housing. Each measure includes strong accountability features, including independent annual audits to ensure funds are spent as approved by voters.
We are putting the force of our organization behind Measure A and Measure A1 because affordable ownership housing is a vital part of the housing spectrum. We need housing at all levels in order for Alameda and Santa Clara Counties to thrive.
This November, you have the opportunity to take a stand and vote for this important issue. The housing crisis, in one form or another, impacts us all. This is our chance to change the story.
Join Habitat EBSV in voting Yes on Measure A1 in Alameda and Measure A in Santa Clara! Pledge your support today!
Thank you,
Janice Jensen
