I just had a customer, who does not buy Marvel or Superheroes come in and say:
"I don't care about Hawkeye, but I heard Matt Fraction is donating his part to Sandy relief. I'd like to buy 5 copies and have you just give them away at the counter. I really appreciate that he is doing that."

On Wednesday October 17, 2012, window washers from the American National Skyline company turned their already daring job into something awesome. They dressed up as superheroes to surprise children and their families at Le Bonheur Children's Hospital in Memphis, Tennessee.
In the lower photo you see Jordan Emerson, Steve Oszaniec, and Danny Oszaniec suiting up as Marvel Comics superheroes Spider-Man and Captain America. Imagine looking out the window to see Spider-Man waving at you…while holding a squeegee. We'd be pretty thrilled, so we can only imagine how delighted those kids must have been.

A Colorado teen turned into a real-life superhero Friday night after a gunman opened fire in a packed movie theater.
Jarell Brooks, 19, was prepared to flee the Aurora theater when a shooter started attacking cinemagoers excited to see the midnight showing of "The Dark Knight Rises," ABC News reports. But when the selfless do-gooder saw Patricia Legarreta struggling to save her babies, he immediately stopped in his tracks.
"She yelled, 'My kids!,'" Brooks told the news outlet of the horrifying moment he realized Legarreta and her two young daughters were in danger. "I made sure they got in the aisle and pushed behind her to make sure she got out of there."
Brooks braved against the heavily-armed shooter, suspected to be James Holmes — a 24-year-old University of Colorado-Denver PhD student, the Associated Press reports. A total of 12 people were killed, and nearly 60 were injured, in what is being called the worst mass U.S. shooting to date since the attack at Fort Hood, Texas in November 2009.
Though Brooks eventually brought the young family to safety, they didn't all escape harm. Both the 19-year-old and Legarreta were shot and are recovering at home, a fate that is nothing short of a miracle for the mother of two.
"Everybody at that moment was going through it," Legarreta told the ABC News, "and to know that someone had that mindset, it makes me feel happy to know that in times of trial, there are good people out there."

Zatanna (2010) Since the awesome people at Gamma Squad featured my Zatanna (as photographed bt Bethany Fong at NYCC 2011) on this week's Funny, Sexy and Awesome Cosplay feature, I figured I should post her!
The Perez version was the first Zee I knew, so this is her classic costume in my eyes…the fishnets and tails always look weird to me! I debuted her at HeroesCon 2010 here in Charlotte, and brought her to DragonCon later that year (at **EEEE** George Perez's request no less!). She's had a couple of tweaks but for the most part I nailed it out of the gate. The cape is fabulous fun, and I mastered the art of sewing on to dance tights with this costume. I put her on and I just feel…pretty. :) I love wearing this!
Honestly, this may be my favorite Zee cosplay. I'm not kidding.

Colombo: Sri Lanka perceives no security threat in hosting the ICC World Twenty20, tournament Director Upekha Nell has said.
The tournament is scheduled to be staged in the island nation from September 18 to October 7. "Contrary to suggestions in some sections of the media, I wish to reassure you that there is absolutely no security threat to the ICC World Twenty20.

In Iraq's Kurdish Zone, Israelis and Long-Hidden Jews See Hope for Revived Ties
The prospect of an independent Kurdistan raises the possibility of renewing an alliance in Iran's backyard
For some, there is only opportunity. Aharon Efroni, who left Mosul for Israel in 1951, is investing money in the KRG and has been there too many times for him to count. "We want to introduce modern technology and industry to the country," he said. "If they ever want to become a country at all, they need to be more self-dependent." Though Mosul remains too dangerous to visit, Efroni frequents cities like Erbil and Duhok, where he is cultivating ties with senior politicians and businessmen. If Kurdistan wants to become independent, he said, it needs a more varied economy, and he is more than happy to provide his commercial expertise. "Right now they import everything," he said.
I asked him if ventures like his might pave the way to the establishment of official ties between the two. Efroni took a deep breath before he answered and then said with a sense of yearning and confidence: "Everything in due time."
On one of Erbil's many new highways, I saw a silver Porsche overtake a rickety rickshaw. It was not an unusual sight in this city, where ostentatious displays of modernity and wealth are increasingly common. The sides of the roads are lined with luxury car dealerships and shopping malls, which have quickly replaced markets as centers of social and commercial life. Above, dozens of cranes and new tower buildings dominate the sky.
Oil revenues are just half of the secret of this region's success. The rare degree of safety and stability provided by Peshmerga fighters—whose name means "those who face death"—is the other. The bustling streets of Erbil seem a million miles away from Kirkuk, Mosul, and Baghdad, where shootings and bombings are part of the daily routine. Here, entrepreneurs with the right connections and sufficient capital can acquire huge fortunes fast.
Nur Ben Shlomo is a member of the city's new elite. He is a plump, middle-aged man who holds vast interests in construction and communication. I met him for tea in a large reception hall, where he sat in an oversized chair flanked by two Kurdish flags below a photo of Masoud Barzani. Outside, a dozen personal bodyguards clad in military fatigues and carrying AK-47s secured the area. His company's logo is ubiquitous throughout Erbil, and he boasts excellent ties with the government. Though he leads a very public life, there is one thing about him few people know, something he shares only with his innermost circle: his Jewish identity.
"My father always told me to know wherever I go that I am a Jew," he told me, beaming with pride. Nevertheless, he asked me to use his Hebrew name, not his real name, as a precaution. He told me both his parents were of mixed Jewish origin. He has relatives in Israel—a fact he hid growing up under the Saddam regime. "It was very dangerous being Jewish," he said. "Until today it is not good for us to talk about it."
These days, he said, he quietly observes Jewish traditions at home. A few weeks before we met he ate apples dipped apples in honey for Rosh Hashana and fasted on Yom Kippur. Four years ago, he went to Israel for the first time and was reunited with a long-lost uncle. He visited the Western Wall, met with other Iraqi Jews, and spent time in Tel Aviv. He has been back three times since. "The land, I felt like this is mine, a connection," he told me, speaking softly and deliberately in English when he felt he could and in Kurdish through a translator when he did not. "Here, I feel like a guest."
He said one of the reasons he wants to see his businesses grow is to be able to change things for Jews in Iraqi Kurdistan, so they can one day live more openly. Now, he told me, is not yet the time. "Maybe 10 years from now," he said. "Maybe 15."
The Tomb of Nahum is the exception to the region's disappearing Jewish landscape. Thanks to its remote location and the care of a local Christian family, the shrine is one of the few that have been left untouched, though the ravages of time have clearly taken their toll. Two domes have collapsed. The others are full of crevices. If it weren't for the ugly tin roof built two years ago by a wealthy Iraqi Jew from Britain, it might all be a pile of rubble by now. For the resting place of a prophet—even a minor one like Nahum—it's bit of a letdown, especially in comparison to the grandeur of the nearby village churches.
Still, with a little effort one can imagine what it must have been like in its glory days, when thousands of pilgrims would camp in the surrounding fields for three days and three nights during the holiday of Shavuot. In 1948, when the last Jewish family in Alqosh left for Israel, a Christian family promised to look after the tomb. The current groundskeeper—who asked not to be identified by name—is a descendent of that family. Born years after Jews left, he said his mother often spoke fondly about them and the business they generated. "She would make food and light fires when they could not," he told me, referring to Shabbat prohibitions. "Everybody would rent out our rooms when they came."
Visitors, some Jewish, some not, still come—maybe five a year. Two years ago, Yosef Rahamim, a native of Mosul who has lived in Israel for six decades, was one of them. As a child, Rahamim visited Nahum's tomb every year with his family. "We would play trumpets and bang drums," he remembered. "Then we would walk with the Torah scrolls up the mountain slope to the top, singing and dancing before coming back down again."
He yearns to see it restored, but time is running out. The tomb is in grave condition. His children and grandchildren, who have never known any country but Israel, are not connected to Iraq the way he is. At home in Kiryat Malachi, he sits glued to "31 Iraqi channels" on TV. He does not want to move back to Iraq, just visit more freely. Yet the rigors of travel are becoming increasingly difficult. He is not a young man, and he is not sure he will ever see the tomb of Nahum again. "In my life I've been all over the world," he said. "But if I've ever enjoyed visiting a place it's there. It is my culture, my language, they understand me, I understand them—what more does one need?"

Billy Williams owns this property on Rhea Avenue. The only problem is, he can't rent it out because it sits catty-cornered to this lot. 178 Rhea Avenue.
"Every rental property that we have is rented out except for this one. Everybody who comes to look at the property says what's that? Nobody wants to be next to this," says Williams.
Not only bad for business, it's bad news for children who walk to nearby St. Pius Catholic School.
"Just property sitting vacant like this, you know, can bring out a bad element," says Ross Jacobs, whose children attend the school.
"If you take a look at the sidewalk, it's covered in trash, the grass is growing over. I can't imagine snakes or whatever else that maybe on the sidewalk that the kids can't see," adds Williams.
When I was last out here in early March, I was able to walk through the yard fairly easily but now, you can see the weeds are growing taller than I am.
Neighbors also say the smells gets worse in the summer months. Overall, just a bad situation.
"It deteriorates the value of the other properties in the area. This is by far the eye sore in the area that never seems to go away," says Jacobs.
In an email we received from the city's deputy director of urban forestry, we learned that the house is on track to be torn down. It's in the nuisance abatement program. But the city council still has to declare it a nuisance—which will happen either at the end of this year or the beginning of next year—once they declare it, bids *will* be released for demolition. Of course this whole process is extremely time consuming, but they say it's to protect everyone's property rights.

How Can I Use This 2-Story Apartment Staircase Entryway?
Good Questions
I currently don't have much here at all (a few 3M hooks for hanging up my dog's leash) and an extra bike that doesn't fit anywhere in the apartment. At the top of the staircase, there's a small alcove and I've installed some hooks for coats and added a small table to put mail/sunglasses/etc.:
That's ok, but I'm wondering if there's any interesting way to utilize the vertical space (of which there's a lot) for some sort of storage. Ideally, I'd love a place to keep bike helmets and accessories near the door, as well as items like umbrellas and backpacks. It just seems to narrow to put all of this next to the door. I've been thinking about something like Ikea's Grundtal shelves, but not sure at what height to add them (or where).
I'd love people's thoughts on better utilizing vertical space in an aesthetically pleasing way for this sort of entryway, which is typical for apartments here in the midwest. :)

Pulley system! If your bike is not a daily vehicle, set up a pulley system and hang it vertically over the stairs. Avoid the shelves. They'll make the hall seem cramped. Stick with very low profile things - pictures/tapestries above the railing, stained glass above the doorway, paint the back of the door.
I'm not sure there is enough space to add shelves or things to store helmets and such. I would try to make the space more appealing by asking the landlord if I could paint the entryway and/or add art work, photos, etc. on the walls to make it feel more inviting. Also maybe add a curtain to the window to make the landing also more inviting. Hopefully others will have more ideas for you.
Oh, and I would probably move the bike closer to the door so that when you walk in the first thing you see when you walk up the stairs is not the bike. Maybe add a nice mirror to the wall where the bike is.
I know you probably want to actually use the space, but since it's your main entryway, you don't want to be greeted daily with a tight space, chockful of shelving. Maybe hang a unique chandelier visible though the outside window? Add a full length mirror by the door, and a little shelf for keys and sunglasses. I just wouldn't make it too utilitarian.
Here's a shout-out to a really great Canadian company, Lee Valley, and the ceiling mounted rack they have on their website. It works on pulleys and with some modification, might be a good way to use some of your vertical space.
I might put the bike on the wall, ask to paint and put very skinny/shallow shelves above the handrail, something like http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/20126065/ which is only 3 1/2 inches deep.
I had a stairwell like this in college and it happened to be painted an intense blue. We painted fish on the walls and painted a bottom of a boat on with oars on the ceiling. Everyone loved it.
No, I think I'd put the helmets above your little coat rack.
Hang a hammock and call it a guest room.
I like the idea of hanging the bike up. Floating it up there will make it like art. If you go this route, be sure the bike is SECURE. Last thing you want is a bike falling on you or a guest. Also, be mindful that the user of the bike needs to get it up/down safely. Could be awkward and potentially dangerous to balance on the steep staircase while raising or lowering the bike.
Other than using the negative vertical space, I think its too narrow for a lot of storage options. But a bright pastel paint job, art and better lighting would be improvements...
Challenging indeed! I would try to paint the area - a light color/white. Leave the blind open or remove - if you need privacy, put up a half shade or similar on the bottom. Consider putting a mirror (as previously suggested) on the current bicycle wall. The mirror will double the window, in effect.
Hang the bike. Would a basket mounted on the wall above the current alcove hooks hold your bike helmets?
Hanging the bike on the stair wall would be interesting as art - if you can get it up and down.
Wouldn't a slide into the place - with an auto door opener be fun? That's the caffeine writing.
I like the pulley idea, too. It would require some creative installation and a giant ladder, but it could be done. I also agree that it's really narrow so shelves of any decent size would not be recommended.
That little nice allowed coffins to be move up and down the stairs (really!)Old brownstones have them. The perfect place for a Day of the Dead diorama!
I would play with bright colors, like those used in Mexico or in I hard Bratagan's architecture. Look up at a brilliant blue wall above a bright yellow stair case with a wonderful fuchsia bannister above a lime green staircase. Or use more neutral colors but play with the planes and spaces you have to make a geometric composition.
I agree with everyone who says paint the space white if you can! I'd put hooks all up the stairs, within reach but just above shoulder height for hats and leashes and umbrellas etc, like this: http://pinterest.com/pin/403212972857998181/ (but not pictures!) or this http://pinterest.com/pin/283304632781514892/ (but less ridiculous hooks!) or this http://pinterest.com/pin/162551867772763632/ - I'd make sure the hooks looked pretty with nothing on them though!
How are you fixed for drying space? A shiela's maid could be a great use of the vertical space: http://www.sheilamaid.com/
I love the chandelier idea, but I think if you were going to hang the bike on a pulley system then directly above the door makes the most sense (so you're not doing tricky maneuvers with it while standing halfway up the stairs!). If that makes the view through the window too fugly, you could add lace to the window using cornstarch like this - this would still let the light through and is nice and removable.
Or you can ditch function and turn it into an art gallery like this http://manhattan-nest.com/2012/11/16/hallway-part-2-2/
... besides painting it wight it so it looks fresh... i would add some more hooks at the bottom of the stairs, maybe a little mirror and some small pictures.... then remove the blinds at the window, add some stickers or foil to the glass so nobody can look in and use the window niche for shallow shelfs. key and decorative items can go there.... put a rack at the bottom of the alcove for shoes etc, reduce the number of jackets to the ones that you really use regularly and add shelf on top of the hooks where you ca put helmets and boxes with gloves, scarves etc...and the bike under the ceiling is a great idea... have fun
Shelves will cause you to whack your head/shoulders every time you climb stairs. Hooks along the whole way would be useful and could look very artful. We have a Shaker peg rail in our narrow entry that is drilled for pegs every few inches so the kids can never say there's nowhere to hang a jacket.
Love the hang-the-bike idea -- safer for everyone. Also love the ceiling hung rack. With a piece of plexi across the wires it could be a shelf for your helmet. Look into a window cling for the over-door window to make it look like a stained glass transom. And shiny light colored paint would help a lot too.
Or put in a slide? http://winblog.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/staircase-win.jpg

Jenna Reid
Now booking | April 2015 (duo); 2015 festivals
Taught from a young age by the greatest names in Shetland fiddling, Dr Tom Anderson MBE and Willie Hunter, Shetland fiddler Jenna Reid is one of the finest talents ever to grace the Scottish music scene. As well as her solo work, she is also a member of Scotland's top fiddle band, Blazin' Fiddles, and the four-fiddle-strong folk/chamber outfit, RANT.
Jenna has performed across the USA and Europe with many musicians and singers, most notably, Julie Fowlis, The Unusual Suspects, Fiddlers' Bid, The Finlay MacDonald Band, Dochas, Deaf Shepherd and Filska. She was also a guest performer on the third and fourth series of Transatlantic Sessions, where she played alongside Aly Bain, Jerry Douglas and Martha Wainwright.
Her debut solo album was released in 2005, with Jenna named Best Up and Coming Artist at the Scots Trad Music Awards the same year. She was further nominated as Best Instrumentalist at the 2007 awards.
Jenna's third album was released in 2012, the second release on her own label, following on from the album "Escape, The Story of Jan Baalsrud and the Shetland Bus"; an original suite composed by Jenna and her sister, Bethany Reid.
Her long-awaited live album will be recorded in the summer of 2014, and released in the autumn.
- "She and guitarist Kevin MacKenzie were terrific together, as he added snap and swing to her lissom hornpipes, while sister Bethany frequently left the keyboards to duet with her on fiddle, including a lovely rendition of Simon Thoumire's Skye Diving Waltz, before Jenna swooped off into Janine's Reel...".The Scotsman

Prior to 2008, to say I was not a fan of coconut would've been a supreme understatement. A more accurate way of phrasing it would be to say that I despised coconut with the intensity of a thousand burning suns… yup… that was pretty accurate alright. Then something happened. I don't know what or why or how but sometime during the first quarter of 2008 I began to like coconut. Then about a year later I began to LOVE coconut and now I can't seem to get enough of the stuff. Maybe it's because I now bake coconut things myself instead of buying them from the store? No clue. The past couple/three weeks I've had a hankerin for coconut cake and came across a recipe from Paula Deen. It looked rather promising. You could say it piqued my interest. But as soon as I thought to add pineapple filling… my stomach shouted "hang a tag on that baby and consider it sold!"
Pineapple is another fruit/flavor I started getting into right around the same time as coconut. DH thinks this coincides with our trip to Hawaii… and that's possible. I never disliked pineapple the way I did coconut… but I wasn't a big fan. DH? To say he loves pineapple would be a supreme understatement. Seriously. Seeeeeeeeeriously!
As written, Paula's recipe calls for a sweetened sour-cream and coconut filling between the layers. Sorry, didn't appeal to me. I contemplated a sweetened greek-yogurt and pineapple filling but in the end decided against it. I had some leftover cream cheese icing from the carrot cake I recently made and though it would be great between the layers if I mixed in some crushed pineapple! But there was an ever so slight "problem"…
You see… I came across a recipe for pineapple curd… and made it. I made it because it sounded incredibly good! I mean, I love lemon curd so why not try making pineapple curd. I made it… it was really good… I had my mind all set on using it between the cake layers… and it was in the cooling stages when I came up with the "cream cheese and crushed pineapple" idea.
Honestly… I could not decide which filling to use. I really wanted to use up the end of that cream cheese frosting. And I really wanted to use the pineapple curd I'd just made. After what seemed like an eternity (but was probably only an hour) I decided to use both! Since it's a triple layer cake anyway I ended up with pineapple curd filling between two of the layers… and sweetened cream cheese and crushed pineapple filling between two layers. Easy solution… and very tasty!
Of course, the pineapple filling is totally optional. If you're not a fan of pineapple (oh but why not? it's soooooo good! LOL) omit it entirely and either do Paula's filling recipe or just use frosting. As for a "recipe" for the sweetened cream cheese and pineapple filling I used… there really isn't one. I used some leftover cream cheese frosting from this recipe and added some very well drained crushed pineapple . I can't really say how much of either was used other than to say "some". It's really personal preference… yours… not mine :)
And I have some news to announce… the winner of my giftcard giveaway is LISA. She won a $50 gift card to Michael's Arts & Crafts store. CONGRATULATIONS to Lisa and thanks to all 124 people who left comments. I'll be doing future giveaways as well. Some might just be exclusive to my Twitter followers so if you don't already follow me on Twitter, you might just want to!

1 cup (2 sticks) butter, at room temperature
2 cups sugar
4 eggs
3 cups sifted self-rising flour
1 cup milk
2 tablespoons coconut extract
1 cup shredded coconut – divided use
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Prepare 3 (9-inch) cake pans with baking spray. Using a standing mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream butter until fluffy. Add sugar and continue to cream well for 6 to 8 minutes. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Add flour and milk alternately to creamed mixture, beginning and ending with flour. Add coconut extract and continue to beat until just mixed. Using a rubber spatula gently mix in half of the shredded coconut. Divide batter equally among prepared pans. Level batter in each pan by holding pan 3 or 4 inches above counter, then dropping it flat onto counter. Do this several times to release air bubbles and assure you of a more level cake. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until done. Cool in pans 5 to 10 minutes. Invert cakes onto cooling racks and cool completely
Pineapple Curd Filling
Adapted From EatingWell
6oz pineapple juice
2 egg yolks
1/4 cup sugar
5 tsp cornstarch
1 Tbsp butter
Wisk all ingredients together, pour into saucepan, cook (stirring constantly) until mixture thickens… about 3-5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the butter.
Cool to room temperature before using. This forms a skin quickly if left uncovered so be sure to press a piece of plastic wrap against the surface as soon as it's cool enough to do so.
For final assembly… place one cake layer on the platter… spread with filling… place second cake layer on top… spread with filling… place third cake layer on top then frost tiered cake with your favorite buttercream frosting or cream cheese frosting. Use the remaining coconut to sprinkle on top and press into sides.

Chapter 21 Reviews
FINALLY finished retyping this!
Cassidy's POV:
Gerard was mimicking the noises of a guitar solo, when his buzzed. "Hello?... No fucking way! ...Mikey! Dude! That's fucking epic!... Alright... Yeah, I'll tell 'em... Bye!" He clicked the phone off, and turned to us. I looked at him, curiosity filling my eyes. "Mikey got us a band name!" He said, hugging Jasmine. Ray got up and hugged me. He was laughing for some reason, but it's cute, so I don't care. Bob sighed, and muttered. "I knew I should've brought Mai." "Does Bob need a hug too?" I said, and walked over and gave him a hug whether he needed one or not. "Yeah, yeah... What's the name?" Bob said. "Get this... My Chemical Romance!" Holy fuck, that was good! I smiled as Gerard, Bob and Ray continued to play. There's something about this band, I can't put my finger on it, but it's there. I thought to myself. I smiled and gazed out the window. It was beautiful out today, the sun was shining, and Autumn breezed played with the leaves on the trees, and some fluttered to the ground. I sighed as I felt euphoria rising inside of me. We were pretty much waiting for Mikey and Mel to return so it would be the whole band, and they got off at 4, so we had plenty of time to kill, seeing it was only 1:00. "Hey, Guys, I have an idea for these lyrics, but I have no idea what the music should be." Gee said holding up a notepad that was probably full with lyric possibility's. "Well, what are some of the lyrics?" Bob said, twirling the drumsticks between his fingers. "Ok,
We could be perfect one last night
And die like star-crossed lovers when we fight
And we can settle this affair
If you would shed your yellow take my hand
And then we'll solve the mystery of laceration gravity
This riddle of revenge please understand it has to be this way
Stand up fucking tall
Don't let them see your back
And take my fucking hand
And never be afraid again!" Gee sang, and it was a song that sounded like a hard rock song. Then, I had an idea. "Ray, can I see your guitar?" He nodded and handed it to me, and I played what I had in mind. Then I looked up at Gee, and said "Sing it again?" He started singing again, and I made it up as I went along. "Whoa... Cassidy! That was great! Thanks hunny!" Ray said, hugging me, and I handed him back his guitar with a "No problem." They went through it, and Bob tapped along on his practice pad. They wrote on more guitar parts, changed a couple of lyrics, and before we knew it, it was 3:30. I heard the door unlock, and Mikey and Mel walked through. They were still in their work clothes. Mel looked pooped, but Mikey looked as energetic as a squirrel. Mel flopped on the couch and said "So what did you guys do today?" "Well, Cassidy wrote a guitar part for a song!" Ray said giving me a hi-five. She laughed, and said "That's awesome! I'd give you a hug, but it was annoying old couple day in Music. There was one that told me: 'Get that metal crap out of yer face!'" I laughed a little. I remembered the big ass bruise she got when she got that piercing freshman year. She had her cartilage pierced, but that got infected. "Yeah, old people these days aren't very friendly." She said after my laugh. Mikey took out his bass, and adjusted his tuning pegs. Mel was watching him, with deep thought in her eyes. I stared at Ray, as his head bobbed up and down as he was playing.
Mel's POV
Mikey looked happy when he played. Like nothing could bother him. Last time he played the bass was well over a year ago, and when he stopped, I dunno, it was like he stopped being a part of him. He looked up and met my eyes with his warm hazel ones. He smiled a little then finished the song. "I like that one! What's it called?" I said, putting my knees to my chest. "We haven't figured that one out yet, but I'm sure it'll come along." Gee said looking through his notepad. After a little while, we all started to get hungry, so we ordered a pizza, and they continued to play until it got dark outside. Eventually the clock turned 11:30, and people were yawning all over the place. Mikey and I said goodbye again, and went home. I showered and changed into my holey grey sweatpants and my Smashing Pumpkins concert tee. Mikey and I saved our allowances, mowed peoples yards, did any and all extra chores to get tickets when we were 17. Somehow, we ended up in the middle of the mosh pit, and got pretty beat up, but it was worth it. That was my very first concert. I smiled, and pulled the shirt over my head. I walked out of the bedroom, and into our living room. Mikey was flipping through the channels. "Ugh. There's nothing good on! You wanna watch a movie?" I grinned, hopped off the couch, and pulled out the cardboard box where our movies were kept. I finally found the tape I was looking for. The Nightmare Before Christmas. "You know all the words to that movie!" he pointed out as I popped it in. "I know! But it's cute!" I said, hopping back on the couch and resting my head on his shoulder. He rested his head on top of mine, with his cheek on my still wet, but fairly dry hair. "Your hair smells like apples." he whispered. "Thanks?" I whispered back. The movie started, and when they were singing 'This Is Halloween' I softly sang along. Mikey put his arm around my shoulder about halfway through the movie. I felt safe and sound around him. Even if we did live in a dangerous neighborhood. The end credits were scrolling down the screen when I thought Mikey was surely asleep. I took the blanket off the back of the couch and put it over us. "I love you, Mikey." I softly whispered. "I love you too Melanie." he said just before I closed my eyes.

Sweet Recipe: Boston Cream Pie Cupcakes
Recipes from The Kitchn
Let's take a moment to appreciate the beautiful trifecta that is Boston Cream Pie. You get buttery cake (check!), soft vanilla pastry cream (check!), and a topping of thick chocolate ganache (check!). It's a triple win. And cupcake form means you can cut out the middle man and eat it with your hands.
Don't be intimidated by the steps in this recipe. It looks like a lot but boils down to forming an assembly line. You can make the cupcake part the day ahead, or even freeze them for a few weeks, but wait to add the pastry cream and chocolate until a few hours before you want to serve. If you have to transport them, set aside some extra time for the chocolate to fully set.
And incidentally, if you're craving Boston Cream Pie in its full-on cake form, just double everything in this recipe. Bake the cake in two 9" cake pans, sandwich them with pastry cream, and pour the chocolate ganache over top.
Boston Cream Cupcakes
For the cupcakes:
1 1/2 cups (7 1/2 oz) cake flour
1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup (4 oz) unsalted butter, softened
1 cup (8 oz) white sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2/3 cup (5 1/2 oz) buttermilk
For the pastry cream filling:
1/4 cup (2 oz) white sugar
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 large egg yolks
2/3 cup (5 1/2 oz) whole milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the chocolate ganache:
1 cup (6 oz) semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/3 cup (3 oz) heavy cream
To make the cupcakes:
Heat the oven to 375°F. Line a 12-cup muffin tin with cupcake liners. Spray the top of the muffin top with non-stick coating.
Sift together the cake flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda. Set aside.
With a standing mixer fit with a paddle attachment or with a handheld mixer, cream the butter and sugar on high speed until they turn light yellow and look like frosting. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and beat in the eggs one at a time, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. Beat in the vanilla.
With the mixer on medium-low speed, beat in 1/3 of the flour until the flour is just barely combine. Beat in half of the buttermilk. Continue alternating between the flour and the buttermilk, ending with the last of the flour.
Divide the batter between the cupcake liners. Bake for 20-22 minutes, until the cupcakes are domed and beginning to turn golden. Let them cool in the muffin tin for a few minutes, then turn them out onto a wire rack. Make sure the cupcakes are completely cool before assembling.
To make the pastry cream:
Have a strainer over a heat-proof bowl standing ready near the stove.
Whisk together the sugar, flour, and salt in a small bowl. Whisk in the egg yolks to form a sticky paste.
Warm the milk in a small sauce pan just until you see it beginning to steam. Remove it from heat and pour a little into the egg mixture. Quickly whisk the eggs to thin out the paste. When you see no more lumps, slowly pour the rest of the milk into the eggs while continuing to whisk.
Pour the milk and egg mixture back into the saucepan and set over medium heat. Whisk constantly. At first, the mixture will feel very loose and liquidy, but it will start to thicken in a few minutes. It's important to keep whisking so the eggs on don't cook. When the pastry cream has thickened to the consistency of pudding, stop whisking and check for bubbles. If you see large bubbles plopping on the surface, the pastry cream is done.
Remove the pan from heat and whisk in the vanilla. Pour the pastry cream through the strainer set over the bowl, stirring until it has all fallen through. The strainer will catch any eggs that started to curdle. Press a piece of plastic wrap or wax paper directly to the surface of the pastry cream and refrigerate until completely chilled.
To assemble the cupcakes:
Use a paring knife to cut cones from the center of each cupcake. Angle your knife toward the center of the cupcake and cut a quarter-sized circle. Fill the hole with a tablespoon or two of cooled pastry cream.
To make the ganache, set the chocolate in a heat-proof bowl. Warm the milk until it's steaming and pour it over the chocolate. Let this stand for a minute, then mix until they form a thick, glossy paste. Pour a generous spoonful of ganache over each cupcake, spreading it with the back of the spoon to even out the top.
The cupcakes can be eaten immediately while the ganache is still warm, or you can wait an hour or two until the ganache has set (if the weather is hot or humid, place the cupcakes in the fridge until the chocolate is set). Once the ganache is set, the cupcakes can be served with less mess or packed for transport elsewhere.

They look delicious! I love the idea of transforming that classic cake into cupcakes - brilliant!
These look so good- one of my favorite desserts!
Okay these are pure brilliance. I would not be able to wait for them to cool.
I made these last week and even before I could fill or frost them, they were gone!!
I made another batch today, filled them and frosted them, and people are fighting out here to have the last ones! :)
Thank you so so much!
These look amazing! Maybe I'll break out my stand mixer and go to town on these :)
this looks so delicious!
i do have one question though- can i substitute the chocolate gauche with melted nutella instead? i love nutella so that's why i want to use it. however, i do not want to use it if it will be too much and take away from the cupcake flavor.
What do you suggest?
I have a cupcake blog called My Year of Cupcakes. I featured these Boston Cream Cupcakes on Day 24. Here's the link if you wanna check it out.
Thanks for the recipe!

This Multi-Billion Dollar Hedge Fund Loves Paper, Should We?
Marshall is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
The multi-billion dollar hedge fund, Senator Investment Group, run by former York Capital Management employees, Douglas Silverman and Alexander Klabin, now own over 23 million International Paper (NYSE: IP) shares. This is a five-fold increase from the 4.18 million shares owned by the fund at the end of 2012, giving the company ownership of 5.2% of IP's shares. Senator had International Paper as its sixth largest holding at the end of 2012.
Who Is International Paper?
The headwind for Domtar is the expectation that pulp prices for 2013 will remain weak. Domtar reported fourth quarter EPS that came in at $1.31, compared to $1.87 for the same period a year ago. This was also below analysts' estimates of $1.40, but new ventures in personal care and specialty papers should help the company longer-term; still, hedge funds appear to be bearish on the company for now.
P.H. Glatfelter Company manufactures specialty papers and fiber-based engineered materials. P.H.'s major growth area includes tea bags, which should continue to see impressive demand on the back of a rising economy. P.H. is also looking to grow via acquisitions, with its pending $209 million acquisition of Dresden Papier. Dresden makes non-woven wallpaper materials, with P.H. expecting the planned acquisition to be accretive to EPS by $0.25 annually upon completion of the deal. The deal announcement and a recent 11% increase in its dividend payment has already lifted the stock 30% year to date.

The journey began on April 5, 2010, on a blustery morning at Broadmoor Golf Course, a public track just down the road from Columbia Edgewater. "It was about 38 degrees and raining," McLaughlin recalls, "and I'm out there on the putting green in a yellow rubber jacket, blue jeans and running shoes." His task for the next two hours: one-footers. And only one-footers.
That drill alone would send most golfers running for the nearest padded room, but McLaughlin endured. Over the ensuing weeks, he backed up to three-footers, six-footers, 20-footers, spending days at some distances until he felt he had achieved Tour pro–like prowess. Eric Sach, a near-scratch amateur and now a regular playing partner of McLaughlin's, first encountered McLaughlin toiling away in the rain at Heron Lakes, a 36-hole facility north of downtown. "He'd hit a couple of two-foot putts and then write something down in his little notebook," Sach says. "I think I heckled him. I was, like, 'Dude, you don't write down two-foot misses. You try to forget those.' "
It's hard to know whether to admire McLaughlin or to pity him. He seems happy, and he exudes a mellowness suited to the city in which he resides. But training to be an elite golfer is a lonely existence. Two hours on a deserted range, a couple more in the gym, another three out on the course. Double-bogeys haunting you at night. An introspective blog that won't write itself. It's intense, all-consuming work that leaves little time for anything, or anyone, else. A couple of weeks after McLaughlin's underwhelming round at Columbia Edgewater, he and Kelsey, his girlfriend of a year, split up. "Perhaps that's what happens to relationships when the focus is so obsessive," he wrote in an e-mail.
After five months of hard labor on practice greens, McLaughlin began to gather both steam and clubs. In September 2010, with Smith's blessing, McLaughlin added a pitching wedge to his arsenal, then a lob wedge, hitting shots only from 35 yards and in. By July of the following year, he was up to five clubs. In August, he added a hybrid. "Dear lord was I happy to finally have a stick I could hit more than 200 yards," he wrote on his blog.
Physical ailments have come and gone. First it was an achy back from his putting fests. Then wrist, elbow, and shoulder issues, and a bum right knee; hitting 200 balls a day will do that to a man. Thus far, though, injuries have not derailed him. By December 2011, with just eight sticks at his disposal, McLaughlin had ground his handicap down to 11.3. He didn't carry a complete set—14 glorious clubs—until January of this year. The 90 he shot at Columbia Edgewater was his first round on his home track with a full bag. "I played pretty poorly today," he said after that round. "But I feel like I'm a single-digit handicap. That's pretty good after just six weeks with full set. Not many people get to that level, maybe 25 percent of golfers."
That's because most golfers, no matter how avid, have jobs. McLaughlin says he gets by by "being good with money," which in part means he doesn't care much about money. "If my house burned down and someone stole my car, whatever," he says, starting to laugh. "If the apocalypse came, we'd all be screwed. Anything less than that, I don't really worry about."
He owns a small house in a cozy neighborhood in northeast Portland that he bought in 2008 with some help from his parents (and which he has shared with 13 different roommates). He travels by bike when possible. He accepts donations via his website thedanplan.com; he collected about $4,000 last year. The biggest contributions have come from the golf world. Columbia Edgewater, one of the premier clubs in town, gave McLaughlin playing privileges. Nike, which is based in Beaverton, just west of Portland, doesn't officially endorse McLaughlin, but it does outfit him with gear, including the same precise but unforgiving Victory Red Blade irons that Tiger Woods plays. (If McLaughlin can hit those, Smith reasons, he'll be able to hit anything.)
In February, McLaughlin and Smith visited Nike headquarters to discuss his progress and potential synergies. McLaughlin's odyssey has all the trappings of an inspirational "Just Do It" commercial, but he worries that aligning with a corporate partner might rob his story of its folksy, feel-good vibe. Plus, what if McLaughlin flames out? Where would that leave Nike?
That, of course, is the question—will McLaughlin make it? To the 10,000-hour mark? To the mini-tours? To the PGA Tour? And to his ultimate goal: the winner's circle on the PGA Tour?
"Oh, I'll get there," he says unflinchingly of the 10,000 hours. As for the rest of it? "I know the odds are astronomical," he says. "There are maybe 10,000 doctors in the U.S. but there are, what, 200 PGA Tour golfers, and maybe 50 who are consistently near the top?"
McLaughlin has nearly broken 80 several times—not bad for a guy who just started swinging a driver—and he makes a solid, athletic pass through the ball. Most encouraging, he's a reliable putter, especially from short range. Smith believes McLaughlin will be shooting in the 70s by the fall and that'll he get to scratch by the end of the six years, but he also acknowledges that his understudy has a long, long way to go. "He's a four-year-old as a golfer," Smith says lovingly. "He doesn't know s--- about golf. He thinks he does, but he doesn't."
McLaughlin's golf buddy, Eric Sach, raises another important point: Deep down, does McLaughlin have enough passion to ensure that the march to 10,000 hours won't become an intolerable slog? "Yeah, the goal is there and he's going after it hard," Sach says, "but I think you really have to love golf. My guess is that will be pretty key if he's going to do it."
A couple of hours later McLaughlin's first 14-club round at Columbia Edgewater, he was back at it, grinding on the range at RedTail Golf Center, on the other side of town. Evening was setting in and so was a chill as McLaughlin beat balls out onto the soggy expanse. He spent 45 minutes on a launch monitor, frequently pausing to examine his carry distance, ball speed, and launch angle. His aim is to match PGA Tour averages in all those categories. "My driver swing speed is 105-107," he said at one point. "It needs to be 115-117."
When Smith arrived, the pair moved to a private bay, with a flat screen, racks of demo clubs, and a space heater. The heater wasn't on, though, and McLaughlin blew on his hands to keep warm. Smith explained that McLaughlin's biggest flaw is that his body tends to get ahead of his swing. That causes the club to lag behind, leading to blocked shots.
"I'm working on feeling like there's a plate of glass behind my ear, keeping my head behind the ball," McLaughlin told Smith. "Kind of like hitting a baseball."
"Good," Smith said. "That's good."
It was getting late, and judging by his misses, McLaughlin was getting tired. But he wasn't done yet, carefully calibrating his swing as he belted more balls into the dank Portland night. Sure, there's always tomorrow, but when there's work to be done, there's no time like the present.
It all adds up
McLaughlin had spent some 2,533 hours on his mission as of Feb. 24. Here are some more numbers that he's accumulated along the way:
253,300: Number of shots struck (including putts)
160,000: Number of putts rolled
1,500: Hours spent on putting and chipping
300: Hours spent on the course
300: Hours spent in the gym
271: Number of blog entries written
102: Worst round since he started keeping score in December 2011
80: Best round
13: Number of books read about golf or learning
7: Number of pairs of golf shoes worn out
6: Number of wedges worn down

[Jap Spanking]-001
Part One
- 1
Cute butt, cute skirt, cute panties, cute squeals. I don't think I need to mention the sloppy paddle work, but other than that, I enjoyed it. I just hope she was okay after that . . . .
Glad to see others are thinking the same way. I got 35 seconds in and was like wtf dude.
I agree with tom6789ca. Spanker didn't seem to have the proper control of that heavy wood paddle. If you lack control with a wood paddle you'd have been better off using a lighter leathher paddle. When I realised it was a girl giving the spanking I thought, "A ha." A lot of girls it seems don't have the cordination to swing properly.
These two are probably lovers and the spankee gets spanked by her often, what we are seeing is just a small segment of the regular spankings they are enguaged in so a misplaced spank with a paddle with a spankee moving around alot is going to happen. If the spanker would bend the spankee over a bar stool and remove the skirt we would have seen nothing but well placed spanks. Let's get her over a stool or spanking bench wearing only bra and panties and give her a good hard spanking with brushes, paddles, straps and of course the cane.
Good hand-spanking at the end, but a very dangerous and irresponsible use of the wood paddle and cane in the first part of the video -- hitting too high sometimes and on the hip. The spankee should run as far as she can from this spanker, to avoid injury.

After heavy rains overnight and more rain anticipated in the forecast for Sunday, the remaining softball action between Hofstra and James Madison softball has been rained out. Saturday's suspended game ends with the Pride winning 4-0 and Sunday's game is cancelled and will not be made up.
HU won both ends of Saturday's doubleheader to improve to 27-13 overall and 13-0 in the Colonial Athletic Association. JMU dropped to 24-23 and 10-4 in league play.
In game two, Pride pitcher Olivia Galati did not allow a hit through five innings pitched to earn the win. She improved to 21-5 after walking one and striking out eight.
Freshman pitcher Sarah Mooney (Huntersville, N.C./North Mecklenburg) took the loss for Madison to drop to 8-9. She ceded four runs on four hits and four walks while striking out one in 4 1/3 innings pitched. Freshman right-hander Reba DePriest (Apache Junction, Ariz./Skyline) pitched 2/3 innings of relief. She struck out both batters she faced.
Right fielder Tessa Ziemba paced the offense, going 1-for-2 with a home run and two RBIs. Galati reached base twice and scored both times while designated player Erin Trippi went 1-for-2 with a RBI.
Mooney was the only player for Madison to reach base, drawing a walk in her first at-bat.
The Pride struck for an early pair of runs in game two on a home run in the top of the first. Center fielder Rachael Senatore was hit by a pitch to lead off the inning. After a sacrifice bunt and a fielder's choice, Ziemba lofted a high fly ball down the left-field line that kept carrying and ended up clearing the fence for a two-run homer.
HU added to its lead in the top of the fifth with two runs. It loaded the bases on a double by shortstop Becca Bigler followed by a walk and a hit-by-pitch. Trippi drove in the first run of the frame with a single just over the second baseman's glove. After a fielder's choice, Mooney walked third baseman Krista Thorn to bring in another run and force herself from the game. DePriest worked out of the jam by getting a pair of strikeouts with the bases loaded.
The Dukes are back in action next weekend as they travel to Atlanta, Ga., for a three-game series at Georgia State beginning on Saturday.

The Jets lined up against the 49er's in MetLife Stadium and played in one of the worst performances in their franchise's history.
To make matters worse, the Jetswho have already lost their defensive star Darrelle Revis for the seasonlost their offensive star, Santonio Holmes with a non-contact foot injury after making a sliding catch in the 4th quarter.
"I was going to say we got our butt kicked, but we got our ass kicked," Rex Ryan said after the game.* "Here's the recipe for getting your ass kicked: Two for 13 on third down, that's 15 percent, four turnovers, a blocked punt...

Danny Sam silently watches the buffalo graze. He is standing outside his truck surveying the majestic herd on the fenced 700 acre habitat on the Picuris Pueblo. It is difficult to read his thoughts; but, he seems to be able to read theirs.
Danny and his wife Jonette, head the Picuris Pueblo Bison Program designed to incorporate buffalo back into the American Indian way of life.
"We are bringing them in as a cultural and spiritual aspect. The buffalo has always had a special place in the Indian lifestyle," Danny explains. "They are in our myths which are verbally handed down from generation to generation and we have used their meat for food and their skins for various uses."
The Picuris Pueblo is a member of the Intertribal Bison Cooperative (ITBC), based in Rapid City, South Dakota. The ITBC was formed in 1990 to coordinate and assist tribes in returning the buffalo to Indian country. The organization has a membership of 57 tribes with a collective herd of more than 8,000 bison.
What began as one lone buffalo at the Picuris Pueblo in 1993 has increased to a thriving herd of 54. When the Sams took over the operation in 2000 there were 15 buffalo. The Sams with the help of the Intertribal Bison Cooperative brought in animals from the Taos Pueblo as well as from neighboring states including Nebraska.
"Our mission," says Danny "is to build a self-sustaining herd that supports the community and provides an indigenous diet. Buffalo is high in protein and low in fat and can help battle diabetes."
According to the National Diabetes Education Program, American Indians on average are 2.3 more times likely to have diabetes as non-Hispanic whites. Diabetes is a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease in all American Indian populations, and cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in this group.
Only a few generations ago, American Indians were hunters and gatherers. Their bodies developed the genetic ability to store calories and release them during times of scarcity. The adopted Anglo lifestyle is only a few generations removed from traditional tribal lifestyle. As such the American Indian's bodies have not had time to adjust to today's high fat and sodium foods. The once life-saving process American Indians had, being able to store fat, is now turning into a life-threatening disease: diabetes. By returning to a low fat, high fiber diet-such as buffalo meat-diabetes can be prevented.
To assist in that lifestyle, many families in the pueblo have planted individual gardens and are raising their own vegetables. But as Danny notes, "It is a slow process when dealing with nature. A lot of businesses get up and running in two to three years, but not something like this," Danny laughs. "It takes a long, long time."
When the buffalo go to slaughter, Danny tries to involve the entire pueblo, not just for distribution of the meat, but for the cultural and spiritual aspect-honoring the animal, using the provisions and a throwback to hunting days. "We tell everyone to come down and help," he says. "The children are interested in the process and enjoy the meat from the buffalo."
It is Danny's hope that once the business is established it will provide job opportunities for these children when they are older and others on the pueblo.
Danny recently applied for grants to buy equipment to upgrade the jerky operations, and other equipment to tan the buffalo hides. Currently, a member of the pueblo is painstakingly doing this job by hand. Hair, another byproduct, can be woven and used in various crafts. Danny had employed an outside contractor to do this, but the rates were so high, a profit could not be made. He is currently looking for funding to start a program for tribal members to learn these skills.
About four times a year, the buffalo meat is distributed freely to families on the pueblo. Danny would like that to become a monthly event. However tribal members can buy buffalo at a reduced rate, "Cheaper than buying meat in a grocery store," Danny claims.
And healthier. The buffalo raised at the pueblo are free of growth hormones. If Danny had it his way they would roam freely and not have to be fenced in, but the US government says otherwise.
"Most people think of buffalo in terms of cattle, but they're not, they're wild. You can't push bison like cattle," Danny says. The cattle graze on the land and their diet is supplemented only by hay or feed grown within the states. There are no growth hormones or additives in their diet. If an animal is injured and becomes sick, it is humanely put down. It is not "pumped up" with antibiotics for six months. As Danny explains, "You are adding more injury to the animal through chemicals and antibiotics and then you are wasting the meat."
In addition to Danny and his wife there are two other full-time employees that tend to the herd. A day's work might include riding on horses to mend the fences, feeding the cattle, overseeing the 160 acres dedicated to hay production, making jerky or helping pack the meat that is sold at the local farmers' markets. Other by-products such as rawhide gift boxes, skulls and tanned hides are sold to consumers off the pueblo.
Danny's wife Jonette handles the administrative work and is in charge of all the marketing and can be frequently found at the Santa Fe market selling the meat and jerky. However profit from the bison is not a goal, rather a means to meet the end goal of self-sustainability, unlike the private sector of the bison industry-those who are in it to "make a buck."
"If marketing these products help maintain these animals we've reached our ultimate goal. If we break even, we've done what we set out to do," says Danny reflectively.
With a background in ranching, Danny attended courses through the Intertribal Bison Cooperative to learn everything from how to care for the animals and how to mend fences. He is now on the board of the ITBC. The ITBC is a multi-faced organization that not only educates Native Americans about caring for the animal, but also helps the general public understand the significance of buffalo in the Indian culture.
The ITBC Tribal Store sells everything from meat to clothing including ITBC logo caps and beautiful hand-painted robes by Indian artists. Buffalo skulls, each decorated by Indian artist Del Iron Cloud, and adorned with imitation eagle feathers, conch shells, brass tacks and leather thongs are also available for purchase.
The group's educational division produced a 22-minute documentary "Return of the Native," featuring several tribal buffalo programs and their trials and tribulations. This documentary garnered the "Best Industrial Video Award" from the American Indian Film Institute. There are also buffalo coloring books and an interactive CD ROM "Benefits of the Buffalo," which highlights the health aspects of eating the meat. It is the latter which is of most interest to Danny Sam.
His work does not end when the sun goes down. He and the ITBC along with volunteers from other tribes are developing an initiative to establish scientific results that the meat is healthy and can prevent diabetes.
"We want to get whole families involved eating buffalo meat and vegetables," Danny says. "We want to monitor the families and go to Washington D.C. with concrete results and show the government we can save them millions of dollars on diabetes medicines."
How successful has Picuris Pueblo been with the re-introduction of buffalo? "Well," says Danny with a shrug, "we're still in business."
For more information on the Picuris Pueblo Bison Program or to find out how to purchase the buffalo meat please call Jonette Sam (505) 587-1077, fax (505) 587-1071.
The Intertribal Bison Cooperative is a non-profit organization. For more information on the ITBC, please visit their website: intertribalbison.org.

On Friday in Sioux Falls, a nine year old boy showed up to his elementary school carrying a syringe. At the time it is unclear where the Horace Mann student found the syringe and its purpose.
Officer Sam Clemens says they must first find where the syringe came from, whether the boy found it on the street, or if it came from his house.
Clemens says once they find where the syringe came from, they can then determine if charges will be brought against the boy or his parents.

Day 30: What You Think Made Buffy So Great
Joss Whedon is an expert at giving every character something important to do. When he gets the writing credit on an episode, you know that it will be one of the most well-rounded, strongest episodes of any show. He did it with Dollhouse, and he does it with SHIELD, and he did it in The Avengers. You can even see his hand in Thor 2. But not only that, he makes you care about everyone. Even Harmony. Even Billy Fordham. Even Vi and Molly and Eve. Even Glory. He's brilliant, and had anyone else been in charge of this show, it wouldn't have been what it became.

dawn of life or dusk of death?
as the sun starts to rise it's stealing my breath
it captures my soul on that endless horizon
like an eagle uncaged up to heaven i'm flying
angels bid me well as demons stir the sand
starting whirlwinds out of spite...watch them all get out of hand
screaming in the silence because silence owns what's said
is this the dawn of life or just the dusk of death?
day after day and night after night...live and die both equally...but then it gets uptight
that's when we get diseased with our paranoid pollution...looking for an answer in those sad and sick solutions
is this wrong or is this right?
questions cut like a knife and the world bleeds all its dread
is this the dawn of life or just the dusk of death?

Kea'au is in the district in Puna in the southeast of Big Island. Located close to the town Hilo, your holiday home in Kea'au is within easy reach of the Volcanoes National Park and the lava flows, lava tubes and red sparks of the Kilauea Volcano which light up the night sky. Nearby are the extraordinary black sand beaches. The Waiakea Forest Reserve is also close by, offering great hikes in the lush rainforest or take a tour of one of the many coffee farms in the area.
Big Island, Hawaii has some remarkable beaches which are great for sunbathing and watersports. Checkout the volcanic black sand beaches on the east coast or head for the strange Green Sand Beach at Papakolea, although it is quite a hike from the car park.
The best way to see Big Island, Hawaii is from the air. A thrilling helicopter tour will allow you to see some amazing sights as you fly over Big Island's rainforest, waterfalls and lava flows. See the tropical valleys of the Kohala Mountains and the impressive Kilauea volcano, the only active volcano in the United States. Shopping
Big Island has many arts and crafts stalls selling handmade goods including wood carvings and beautiful handmade quilts. The Waimea Craft Mall is a great place to see some high-quality souvenirs, or head for the more modern King's Shops in Waikoloa.
This 12-acre zoo is the only tropical rainforest zoo in the United States. Enjoy the 80 species of animals set in grounds which are filled with bamboo, orchids, palms and tropical flowering shrubs. Best of all, admission is free!
The Volcanoes National Park is a must-see sight for all visitors to Big Island and it is conveniently close to your Kea'au holiday home rental. See the active volcanoes Kilauea and Mauna Loa, the Thurston lava tube and the Observatory.
This former royal palace in Kailua-Kona was built in the1800s. It is now a museum run by the Daughters of Hawaii who are dedicated to preserving the Palace and the fascinating cultural legacy of Hawaiian history.
Kea'au, Puna is well known for its year-round tropical climate. Temperatures range between 79-84°F (26-29°C) all year round although Kea'au does have a several inches of rain each month due to its elevation, which falls as short heavy showers.
The nearest airport to your holiday home in Kea'au is Big Island's Hilo airport which receives only inter-island flights. It is 20 miles away. Honolulu International airport is on the nearby island of Honolulu so a connecting flight to Big Island would be needed.
The main airport on Big Island is Kona International airport which is on the west side of the island and serves inter-island and international flights. It is approximately 104 miles from Kea'au, Puna.

The man credited with adding a number of additions to McCarran Airport, including new Terminal 3, will retire in June.
Clark County announced Wednesday the retirement of Department of Aviation director Randall Walker.
The county credited Walker, 59, with a number of improvements and additions to Las Vegas' aviation hub over his 16-year tenure. Among those additions, Walker was credited with the implication of the D Concourse, Airport Connector Tunnel and the airport's Rent-A-Car Center, as well as a number of new runways.
In addition, the County credits Walker with handling the airport's service of nearly 42 million passengers in 2012. McCarran has been ranked among the 10 busiest airports in North America, the county noted.
"Walker is known for his commitment to customer service, his management savvy and for his ability to look forward and plan for our community's future needs," County Manager Don Burnette said. "With that in mind, it's easy to see why under his leadership the airport has seen tremendous growth and success over the past decade and a half."
Walker started with the department in 1990, later ascending to the director role in 1997, according to Clark County.
The county said his retirement is effective June 3.

The Kansas City Chiefs have officially ruled out quarterback Matt Cassel for this Sunday's game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, per Adam Teicher of the Kansas City Star. It does not come as any surprise that Cassel will be out just one week after suffering his concussion last week against the Baltimore Ravens.
With Cassel ruled out, it signals the start of the Brady Quinn era in Kansas City. It is Quinn's first start since the 2009 season.
The Chiefs fans have been clamoring for Quinn for the past few weeks as Cassel has struggled throughout the first quarter of the season. When Cassel was at the helm, he turned over the ball a league-high 14 times. While Quinn will likely struggle in his first start in three years, he can't do much worse than Cassel in the eyes of Chiefs fans.
Chiefs fans cheered when Cassel went down with his concussion last week so it will be interesting to see whether or not those cheers turn to boos if Quinn struggles early against the Buccaneers.
