Luton Town have confirmed that midfielder Jordan Cook has been discharged from hospital after his neck injury suffered against Crawley Town this afternoon.
The 26-year-old went down after an aerial challenge with the Red Devils' Conor Henderson and after lengthy treatment, was worryingly stretchered from the field in a neck brace.
However, the club posted on their official website: "Physio Simon Parsell received a call from Luton & Dunstable Hospital to say that midfielder Jordan Cook, who had been carried off on a stretcher after an eight-minute hold-up in the first half, was being released with just soft tissue damage to his neck."
Cook himself took to Twitter afterwards to say: "Thanks for the messages I wanted to play on but because it was my neck I had to come off and I'm glad it's only soft tissue damage.
"And thanks to all the medical staff for making the right call, the most important thing was that we got the win #COYH."
Speaking immediately after the full time whistle, boss Nathan Jones said: "We think he's okay, he was talking at half time, so it's hopefully just precautionary.
We just hope he's back with us as soon as possible, because he's a tough kid, so he would have to be hurt to stay down.Nathan Jones
"He'll have scans, have x-rays or whatever he needs. We just hope he's back with us as soon as possible, because he's a tough kid, so he would have to be hurt to stay down and he's in wonderful form at the minute too."

Lack of snow could cause spring flooding
So far this winter, snow has been a no show.
Janet Connolly, who lives south of Golden Valley, has been sending monthly reports to the National Weather Service for more than 35 years. According to Connolly's records, the first snowflakes of the 2011-2012 winter floated down from the sky on Nov. 14, 2011, before quickly melting. It's a far cry from last winter – when the season's first snowflakes fell on Sept. 17, 2010. In 2009-2010, the first snow flew on Oct. 11, 2009.

Artist Statement
It is my goal to capture the essence of the horse with minimal lines. I am drawn towards simple designs and abstract, loose paintings that capture the spirit of the horse. Over the years I have spent time studying calligraphy drawings using a bamboo brush and India ink which led to the designs I currently sell on various clothing and gift products. I also love the feel and texture of paint...building up my backgrounds with molding paste and stencils to give the painting depth and emotion. Last year I finally brought to life my "Art on Horseback" project that combines my skills as a dressage rider and an artist. Click here to learn more...

You may know that in APEX 5.1 there are some new functionalities regarding client-side messaging - for example, the capability to display success or error messages without a full page reload or new JS API for handling client-side messages. There are also enabled HTML5 Form Validations, so you may saw something like this in your apps:
The problem that I had is that the user wanted to translate those messages to the other language (in my case Croatian). I thought - no problem. I'll find those messages in the APEX messages dictionary and translate them to the Croatian. After some exploring I found out that those messages are actually browser depended and you can't translate them (the only option is to install browser in different language).
Fortunately, the APEX development team has thought about this and you can override those messages by defining custom attribute named data-valid-message under the item's Custom Attributes property:
If you don't want to do this for each and every item in your app you can create On Load Dynamic Action on Global Page (page 0) that looks like this:
which will add this attribute to all required fields.
You can read more about the data-valid-message attribute in apex.item documentation.

I wanted to list here some definitions of a miracle per listed media I hope you take the time to read this post. I aslo hope you will share your own miracles/stories here.
Miracle a definition from Dictionary.com
1. an effect or extraordinary event in the physical world that surpasses all known human or natural powers and is ascribed to a supernatural cause.
2. such an effect or event manifesting or considered as a work of God.
3. a wonder; marvel.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A miracle is a perceptible interruption of the laws of nature, such that can be attempted to be explained by divine intervention, and is sometimes associated with a miracle-worker. Many folktales, religious texts, and people claim various events they refer to as "miraculous". People in different cultures have substantially different definitions of the word "miracle". Even within a specific religion there is often more than one of the term. Sometimes the term "miracle" may refer to the action of a supernatural being that is not a god. Thus, the term "divine intervention", by contrast, would refer specifically to the direct involvement of a deity.
In casual usage, "miracle" may also refer to any statistically unlikely but beneficial event, (such as the survival of a natural disaster) or even which regarded as "wonderful" regardless of its likelihood, such as birth. Other miracles might be: survival of a terminal illness, escaping a life threatening situation or 'beating the odds.'
From [url]All About GOD[/url]
What is a miracle?
What is a miracle? It is when the impossible happens.
It's when doctors have given up on a sick child and for no scientific reason, that child gets well.
It's when you're down to your last dollar, have piles of bills to be paid, and a check arrives in the mail from some unknown source.
It's when a hurricane comes through a town and your house is left standing with desolation all around it.
It's when a child is born and you can't believe how exquisitely miniature this new life appears.
It's when you've prayed for a specific purpose and that prayer is answered.
It's when there is no earthly reason something wonderful has happened.
Miracles take place everyday. Sometimes they're very subtle and quiet, sweeping in like a touch on the face. Other times, it's very evident and public. It doesn't matter who you are, miracles can happen to anyone.
Why do miracles take place? It may be that God wants your attention!
When you believe in God, you gain an awareness of Him. You see everything in a new light. He shows His great power through the trials and tribulations of life, through nature and science.
God is in the impossible business. What is a miracle? Someone once said, "Coincidence is when God wants to remain anonymous." Well, miracles are when God reveals Himself.
All glory and honor and praise belong to Him. Without Him there would be no miracles!
One more long definition;
Miracles: What Is a Miracle?
A miracle can be defined as an event contrary to, but not a violation of, a law of nature. If 'violation' is not being used in a technical sense, then a miracle can still be described as a violation of a law of nature - where 'violation' would mean something like "contrary to what could have happened had nature been the only force operative."
An event may be contrary to a law of nature without thereby invalidating it, if non-natural forces cause it.
This follows from the fact that laws of nature do not describe, nor are they intended to describe, the logically possible. They only describe the physically possible. Even if the laws of nature were logically necessary, there could be events contrary to those laws if it is assumed that the scope of those laws is limited.
Apart from belief in miracles, one is left with a system of beliefs that has had and will continue to have enormous significance - good and bad - for people's lives.
However, for the majority of persons for whom these beliefs have that significance, religion could no longer function in the way it does if they became convinced of the falsity of their beliefs. What one is practicing may be similar in significant respects to the religious tradition, but one will not be practicing that religion, nor will one properly be regarded as a believer.
Prayers are empowered by a clear mind and heart, and purity of intention. With clarity, our consciousness aligns with higher consciousness, where the forces of nature and laws of creation operate according to divine order.
Understanding Miracles
"Those things are properly called miracles which are done by divine agency beyond the order commonly observed in nature ( praeter ordinem communiter observatum in rebus )." A miracle, metaphysically speaking, is never a mere coincidence - no matter how extraordinary or significant. If you miss a plane and the plane crashes, that is not a miracle unless God intervened in the natural course of events causing you to miss the flight!
A miracle is a supernaturally (divinely) caused event - an event (ordinarily) different from what would have occurred in the normal ('natural') course of events. It is a divine overriding of, or interference with, the natural order. As such, it need not be extraordinary, marvelous or significant, and it must be something other than a coincidence, no matter how remarkable - unless the 'coincidence' itself is caused by divine intervention (i.e., not really a coincidence at all). Miracles, however, are ordinarily understood to be not just products of divine intervention in the natural order, but extraordinary, marvelous and significant as well.
Thus, Aquinas says a miracle is "beyond the order commonly observed" and Dr. Eric Mascall says that the word 'miracle' signifies in Christian theology a striking interposition of divine power by which the operations of the ordinary course of nature are overruled, suspended, or modified.
Technically speaking miracles are not violations of such laws but instead are positive instances of those laws. This is because laws of nature do not, and are not meant to, account for or describe events with supernatural causes - but only those with natural causes. Once some event is assumed to have a supernatural cause it is, by that very fact, outside the scope of laws of nature altogether and so cannot violate them.
Only if one disregards the possibility of supernatural causes, can known exceptions to laws possibly be regarded as violations of laws. However, in such a case there might be better reason to suppose that the exception simply shows what was taken to be a law is not really a law, rather than, the exception is a violation of a genuine law of nature.
If a miracle is not a violation of a law of nature, then how is it to be defined in relation to laws of nature?
Whew, a long winded explanation of what a miracle is. I thought it would fun to to do this. I really don't have much to add, only that I know first hand what our God can do. I hope this helps to let people share there own stories here. So please add you stories in your own topic under the Your Miracles catagorie.

LED FLOODLIGHTS - Hella Marine LED Lighting
The heavy-duty workboat industry needs dependable lighting that holds up to demanding tasks and harsh conditions.Relentless Hella marine 'test to destruction' development programmes have lifted product reliability to new levels. AS3 lamps endure the worst of vibration, shock and high impact torture tests. Every aspect, material and component of the AS3 Work lamp has been carefully selected to ensure longevity in the most demanding environments.
HypaLUME LED Floodlight
The powerful optical system generates over 20,000 lumens for a mere 240W consumption (10A@24V) offering class leading luminous efficacy. With this impressive output, HypaLUME® provides usable light comparable to a 400W metal halide fitting for significantly less energy consumption.
Engineered reliability
Completely sealed (IP6K9K) housings are impervious to moisture and contaminants. HypaLUME® development programs had endured arduous torture tests of harsh vibration, impact, thermal shock, deluge testing, EMC bursts, accelerated corrosion and harsh chemical exposure.
Proven durable materials
Heavy duty Grilamid® is specified for the lens material due to advantages in UV and chemical resistance and exceptionally high impact resistance. The unique heat-sink housing features a bonded non-stick coating that will not corrode, discolour, peel or flake.
Benchmark working light colour
The wide reaching beam pattern offers crisp white 'close to daylight' 5700K colour temperature. Working under this colour of light reduces the fatigue and eye strain sometimes caused by warmer colour halogen lighting.
Reliable in extreme conditions
Tested to operate from –40° to +50° Celsius with no decrease in output, HypaLUME®provides utmost reliability in the most extreme operating temperatures.
Secure installation
The ultra heavy duty 316 stainless steel bracket firmly grips the HypaLUME® to withstand harsh vibration and impact while also providing vertical angle adjustment.
Designed and manufactured in Australia
HypaLUME® lamps carry a 5 year warranty
AS 5000 LED Floodlights
Precision engineered to perform without failure, season after season.
Every aspect, material and component has been carefully selected to ensure longevity in the most demanding environments.
AS 5000 lamps endure the worst of vibration, shock and high impact torture tests.

Fully sealed and salt water durable
The completely sealed housing features a unique bonded non-stick coating that will not corrode, discolor, peel or flake even under harsh UV and is highly resistant to cleaning chemicals.
Benchmark light distribution
Hella's optical engineering expertise provides highly effective illumination for working vessels.
Long term secure installation
A sturdy 316 stainless steel bracket firmly holds the lamp to withstand harsh vibration and impact.
Designed and manufactured in Australia
Hella marine AS 5000 lamps carry a 5 year warranty.
LED Sea Hawk Floodlights - A new class of ultra efficient, compact and lightweight LED lamps.
LED Sea Hawk XL
Whether fishing, cruising or docking at night, boat owners appreciate extra illumination on the task at hand. Powerful Hella marine Sea Hawk XL LED Floodlights and Deck Lamps use 30 LEDs to produce a spectacular 750 lumens of light, far more than 55W or 70W H3 halogen bulbs.
Light intensity on the Sea Hawk XL series adjusts easily with integrated two-step dimming, controlled through most off-the-shelf switches. The lamps offer more than 80% power savings over halogen models, using only 12W at high intensity and 2W at low.
Despite their light 400g weight, the CE-approved Sea Hawk XL models are built to stand up to the most punishing marine conditions. The lens, precision-molded from high-performance polymers, offers superior strength and durability. A sealed, pre-wired twin core marine cable ensures a secure and reliable connection. Severe voltage fluctuations and low battery voltages won't affect performance of these rugged lights, thanks to Hella's advanced multivolt electronics.
With a completely sealed IP 67 design, the lamp housing is manufactured from tough, high-impact plastic that resists UV discoloration and deterioration. The highly polished, 316 stainless steel bracket uses friction mounts for easy adjustment of the light's angle without tools.
Measuring a compact 170mm W x 68mm H, the Sea Hawk XL series offers two light pattern options in either a black or white housing.
The LED Floodlight illuminates a wide spread over a cockpit, foredeck or working area. The LED Deck Lamp provides a more narrow and concentrated spot beam, appropriate for use on a yacht mast or to assist in low speed docking. When forward facing, the deck lamp helps illuminate objects in the water.
Hella marine's lighting products set the standard for quality, safety, reliability and energy efficiency. As with all its LED lighting, the company backs the Sea Hawk XL series with a five-year warranty.
LED Sea Hawk Floodlights (Bracket Mount)
LED Sea Hawk Floodlights
Completely sealed and weighing a mere 250 grams (including cable), Sea Hawk LED lamps are a brand new class of energy saving, compact, lightweight, and ultra durable luminaires that can be installed almost anywhere onboard, interior or exterior.
Manufactured in New Zealand from advanced marine grade materials, Sea Hawk lamps utilise a high performance Grilamid® Polyamide lens for superior strength and resistance to impact and UV.
The housing is a tough, proven, high impact plastic offering outstanding UV resistance. The mounting bracket is highly polished 316 marine grade stainless steel. 2.5m of tinned 'twin core' marine cable is sealed and pre-wired into each lamp for absolute water tightness and reliable electrical connections.
Hella marine precision optics provide two light pattern options for this series. Spread lamps are suited for illuminating cockpits and transom areas with a close range, wide spread of light. Spot lamps offer a narrower and more concentrated light pattern for applications such as spreader lighting on yacht masts.
Hella marine Sea Hawk series lamps represent the latest in energy efficiency and maintenance free 'fit and forget' technology

LED Module 70 Floodlights
Durable and efficient LED floodlights offering power saving illumination
Capitalizing on the electronic and optical performance of the larger body LED Mega Beam series, Hella marine Module 70 LED lamps offer state of the art technology and performance in a smaller housing.
Offering 600 lumens of crisp white light for a low power consumption of 15W (1.25A @ 12V), the compact high technology lamps provide substantial power savings compared to 55W halogen lamps.
The completely sealed module 70 series provides ultra durable 'fit and forget' advantages with ongoing reliability in applications subject to high vibration, impact and shock loads.

Obama travels to Orlando after shooting
U.S. President Barack Obama departs from Joint Base Andrews to travel to Florida to meet with the survivors of the Orlando massacre. Rough Cut (no reporter narration).
ROUGH CUT - NATURAL (NO REPORTER NARRATION) U.S. President Barack Obama left Washington on Thursday (June 16) to visit Orlando where he's set to meet with survivors of the Orlando massacre at a gay nightclub and relatives of the 49 people killed as authorities weighed whether to charge the assailant's wife. Omar Mateen, a 29-year-old U.S. citizen born in New York to Afghan immigrant parents, also wounded 53 people in a three-hour-long rampage inspired by Islamic State militants that stands as the deadliest mass shooting in modern U.S. history. The Federal Bureau of Investigation has interviewed Mateen's second wife, Noor Salman, who knew of his plans, according to a law enforcement source, and prosecutors were preparing to present evidence against her to a federal grand jury. Salman has not commented publicly since the attack, which began around 2 a.m. Sunday. "I can assure you that we're working with our law enforcement partners to find out everything that we can about what happened at the Pulse nightclub," Lee Bentley, the U.S. Attorney for Florida's middle district, said on Wednesday. "We are using all law enforcement and legal tools to reconstruct not only the events of that night but the events of the past several months." Obama, accompanied by Vice President Joe Biden, will travel to Orlando in the latest in a long list of trips he has taken to console victims of mass shootings during his 7-1/2 years in office. In December 2015, a married couple inspired by Islamic State shot dead 14 people in San Bernardino, California. "This will be, I think, an emotional trip," White House spokesman Josh Earnest told reporters. "The president recognizes that he is a symbol for the rest of the country. But it would be impossible for him not to be personally affected by these kinds of conversations." Mateen claimed allegiance to a variety of militant Islamist groups, including some at odds with each another, in a series of phone calls to 911 emergency services and a local cable television news channel during his rampage. He appears to have self-radicaliced and no evidence has emerged so far that his actions were directed by any outside groups, Obama has said. Mateen carried out the slaughter with a legally purchased assault weapon and handgun, despite twice being investigated by the FBI for alleged connections with terrorist groups.

I wanted to share a couple more of the Timberline artwork pieces I have created and those I received in the art swap for the Spring 2014 idea book.
I just love the new set called Camper Crazy. Do you have a crazy camper in your life? Are you a crazy camper?
This card was designed by Eileen Rodriguez. I changed the papers a bit but the design was cut using elements from the Artiste Cricut Cartridge. The inner card slides out and is perfect for stamping a sentiment across the middle since it will be hidden by the little trailer icon. One of my favorite pieces of the Timberline kit is the zip strip I used to wrap the card. It is a camping list...one that I need when I am packing!
Get yourself some Timberline paper and this cute stamp set and create for those campers in your life. You can purchase these items on my website. And don't forget, when you have a $50 qualifying purchase, you can get the Nat'l Scrapbook Month paper kit for $5.

Sarfraz Ahmed addressing journalists at Karachi Press Club said if international teams can play in England despite all the issues they should also come to Pakistan to play cricket, captain Sarfraz Ahmed said at a gathering held in his honour at Karachi Press Club.
"It would be difficult to replace Misbah and Younis," Ahmed accepted, but said that he hopes batsmen like Azhar Ali, Babar Azam, and Asad Shafiq will step up for the team.
"Test captaincy is a challenge but things will get easier with time," he said.
The team has developed a combination of senior and junior players and seniors cannot simply be pushed out if some juniors are performing well, Sarfaraz said. "You need your senior players in pressure situations to guide the team."
Sarfraz also took the opportunity to thank mentors especially Azam Khan for his services for cricket in Karachi.
Things are improving for Pakistan cricket and we will try to make the most of this gap in international cricket, he added.
"Pakistan cricket has lost a lot owing to an absence of international cricket, and it is time for international teams to recognise us," he said. "We have not played cricket at home for the past nine years," Ahmed said adding that despite home-like conditions in UAE, playing at home is a different experience.
He also expressed hope that after events like the arrival of "Ronaldinho and friends", international cricket teams will also visit Pakistan.

I was reading Marlon Sanders recent post on getting traffic to your blog and wanted to share that with you. The image on the left is his infographic on this that he so kindly gave me permission to share. In it he explains the three primary sources of driving targeted traffic to your website or blog. These include:
- Organic traffic from the search engines – Marlon says that Google Webmasters is your best friend, and also have steady and consistent content (such as I am doing here with blog curation).
- Paid traffic – This includes pay-per-click from Google Adwords or Bing, Facebook and other services, as well as something known as Retargeting.
- Traffic from your affiliate program – start with a simple product and build it up over time.
I love to see increasing numbers of people visiting my sites each month because I've made the effort to share my content and ideas, as well as sharing excellent information from others.
Marlon has a 5 Day Fast Start Course that I am finding extremely helpful. If I'd had access to this type of training when I was just getting started online, my journey would have been a much different and more lucrative one. Let me know when you pick it up and I'll schedule a thirty minute laser focused call with you within a week to ten days.

Due to not finishing last months goal in the month of March (it is finished now, and a post will be out on Friday to show it off), I decided to try to complete something even bigger. Reverse psychology? I'm not sure. My goal for this month is to get a baby quilt top completed. I'm calling it Dr. Seuss thanks to all of the fabrics in it. Strips are cut, so all I need to do is sew everything together and then a few more slices, rip out a few seams and put everything back together. Easy? I think I can complete it in a weekend if I really put my mind to it. I'm confident and looking forward to get some serious quilting time in for the month.
This is what it currently looks like. I even have it all planned out to make it easier. What is stopping me?
If I can accomplish that, my over achiever goal is to get it machine quilted (as the backing is already picked out), and maybe even get all of the binding done.
Positive thoughts! I'm linking up to the OMG for April at Red Letter Quilts.

Sunderland are awaiting developments on striker Daryl Murphy's proposed move to Celtic.
The clubs have agreed terms and on Thursday night the 27-year-old was given permission to talk to the Glasgow giants.
"The clubs have agreed terms, it is now down to the player," said Black Cats assistant boss Eric Black.
"He has been given permission to go and speak to them, which I think he was doing on Thursday night.
"We should have an update on that soon, with a bit of luck."
Republic of Ireland international Murphy, who joined the Wearsiders in a £100,000 move from Irish club Waterford in June 2005, has struggled to command a regular place at the Stadium of Light in recent seasons, particularly under new boss Steve Bruce.
He spent the second half of last season on loan at Ipswich, where he scored six goals in 18 appearances.
Murphy is one of a number of players surplus to requirements at Sunderland as Bruce attempts to re-shape his squad for the new campaign.

The Newry Palestine Support Group in Ireland engaged in a direct action for Palestine promoting the boycott and international isolation of the Zionist occupation in a Marks and Spencer store in Newry, Ireland on Saturday, August 23. We salute the comrades in Ireland who took up this action, to the Newry Palestine Support Group, and to all of the solidarity organizations and movements around the world who are escalating the struggle for Palestine through demonstrations, mobilizations, boycott, and direct action and confrontation around the world. We also stand in solidarity with our Irish comrades in their own long struggle to defeat British colonialism.
We republish their statement below:
Several dozen pro-Palestinian activists descended on the high-profile and Zionist-linked, Marks & Spencer store in Newry's Buttercrane shopping centre on Saturday August 23, in a robust protest organised by the recently formed Newry Palestine Support Group.
The protesters made their way to the city centre supermarket carrying flags, banners and placards depicting images and slogans calling for a boycott of Israeli goods. Air horns also echoed around the busy shopping centre as the protesters chanting slogans in support of the people of Palestine. The participants then cleared the shelves of goods before leaving the full trolleys at the checkouts. Posters and stickers were also plastered on the goods, during the protest which drew a lot of attention from the many Saturday shoppers and passers-by.
The peaceful, but noisy, protest was organised in response to the ongoing Israeli siege of Gaza which, in recent weeks, has caused outrage around the world with horrific images of innocent civilians, most of whom are children. As a result we have seen people taking to the streets in their hundreds and thousands in various countries, including Ireland. We were also joined on the protest with a comrade from Palestine who is staying in Ireland.
In a disturbing twist a number of peaceful protesters were manhandled and physically assaulted by M&S staff and security staff. This heavy handed response by staff is in stark contrast to other protests that have taken place in Belfast.
Commenting on the highly successful protest, a spokesperson from the Newry Palestine Support Group said "Today's protest has been a huge success and we have raised some much needed awareness to the situation in Gaza.
"The reason we chose to protest at this location is due to the fact that Marks & Spencer are very much complicit in the genocide of the Palestinian people and are assisting in the funding of Israel's war machine. From it's birth M&S has been inextricably linked to Zionism. In fact Lord Marcus Sieff – long time Chairman of M&S – stated that one of the fundamental objectives of M&S is to aid the economic development of Israel."
The spokesperson continued "It has also been reported that M&S are profiteering from the illegal occupation of Palestine by selling goods purportedly produced in the State of Israel and exported internationally by the Zionist regime, which are actually produced in the Occupied Territories and sold under 'Made in Israel' labels. Products imported from Israel in the West are produced in Israeli settlements within the Occupied Territories, often by the hands of exploited Palestinian labourers. The actions are illegal according to international law and are in violation of EU trade agreements. By importing goods produced in the Occupied Territories, M&S demonstrates its support for the regime's illegal and brutal colonisation of Palestine through expanding settlement activity, and thereby its complicity in Israeli war crimes."
"It's very worrying that M&S staff and security staff resorted to violence by assaulting and man-handling several peaceful protesters. We take this opportunity to commend our activists for remaining calm and peaceful despite such bully-boy tactics."
Concluding, the representative of the Newry Palestine Support Group, outlined the groups future intentions "This is not a one off token protest, we are currently looking at other initiatives to partake in to support the besieged Palestinians in Gaza. Our members are made up of seasoned activists who have plenty of experience in campaigning on various humanitarian issues of concern over the years."
Today's event is simply the first of many.
The Newry Palestine Support Group is a recently formed group of activists in Occupied Ireland and is not aligned to any specific political group or party. Their aim is simply to raise awareness, show support and solidarity to the people of Palestine using various means.
Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.

Q. Why did Airbus choose Mobile for the A320 assembly line?
A. This decision is based on an existing aviation infrastructure (Brookley Aeroplex is a large, underutilized former military base), transportation logistics (it has a port) and an existing Airbus presence (Engineering Center, Airbus Military Support Center). We have had an exceptionally positive experience in Mobile over the years—the people, business community, local government and community have all been welcoming and supportive of our activities here.
Q. Where/how can people apply to work at the Airbus U.S. Manufacturing Facility?
A. Airbus is partnering with AIDT (Alabama Industrial Development Training) for recruitment. People seeking employment at the Mobile manufacturing facility can look at and apply for open positions through the AIDT website: www.aidt.edu/airbus.

A. We have the capability to assemble A319, A320 and A321 aircraft in Mobile.
Q. How does the production process work?
A. The Mobile A320 assembly line is part of Airbus's worldwide production network, and operates exactly the same way our assembly lines in other parts of the world do. Fully-equipped sections of aircraft are delivered to the Mobile facility via the port of Mobile, where they are assembled into the final aircraft, equipped and painted and then delivered to the customer.
Q. What is the current presence of Airbus (commercial aircraft) in the U.S.?
A. Airbus has approximately 1,100 employees currently working at other Airbus (commercial aircraft) sites in the U.S. (Approx. 1,200 if you add the Metron subsidiary; 3,000 if you add other Airbus entity employees (i.e., Helicopters and Defense&Space).

1. Greenwich
As the place of Mary's birth, Greenwich fully deserves it places on this list of Mary related London sites. The palace where she was born (also the birthplace of Henry VIII and Elizabeth I) and the adjoining Church of the Observant Friars where she was christened are long gone. But Greenwich is still a great tourist hotspot. The Discover Greenwich centre has recently opened and various sixteenth-century artefacts are on display (though the focus is very much on Henrician and Elizabethan Greenwich). The park, where Henry VIII often went hunting, was a familiar site to Mary. Be sure to check out St Alfege Church which is about 5 minutes from Cutty Sark tube station. Though much amended since Mary's day it is the burial place of the great sixteenth-century composer, Thomas Tallis, who served in the Chapel Royal under Henry VIII, Edward VI, Mary and Elizabeth. The church also holds the 'Tallis keyboard' which contains several sixteenth-century keys that were allegedly played by Tallis and the princesses Mary and Elizabeth.
The 'Tallis Keyboard'
2. St Margaret's Church, Westminster
Located right by the abbey, this church admittedly has little in connection to Mary. But it is worth going in to see the stained glass window depicting a young Henry VIII and Katherine of Aragon. The window was commissioned by Henry VIII in the 1520s and was given as a gift to Waltham abbey, but shortly after the break from Rome it was confiscated by the King and placed in the chapel at Beaulieu. Beaulieu, otherwise known as New Hall, was one of the properties Mary inherited from her father and was one of her favourite residences. So the window was once her property and something she would have known well. It was relocated to St Margaret's in the eighteenth-century. Entrance is free but photography is not allowed.

3. The National Portrait Gallery
Though small, the Tudor galleries in the NPG are a delight. See the c.1544 portrait of Mary – the first portrait she commissioned of herself, to mark her re-inclusion in the succession. There is also a miniature of Mary by Lucas Horenbout which depicts her wearing a brooch with her then betrothed's name on it (Emperor Charles V). Room one is a collection of portraits of Mary's family – a posthumous portrait of her mother can be found here, along with a fabulous painting of Katherine Parr that was misidentified as Lady Jane Grey for many years. But no Tudor gallery would be complete without a portrait of Henry VIII and by Holbein no less. Holbein's preparatory drawing of the King for the Whitehall Mural is one of the first items you see when you enter the room. Ironically the portrait of Mary is almost directly opposite one of her victims – Thomas Cranmer, archbishop of Canterbury. Entrance is free. Make sure to go next door into The National Gallery (also free) and see the Holbein portrait of Christina of Denmark, Mary's cousin once removed and at one point a possible stepmother when Henry attempted to negotiate a marriage with the widowed Christina in the late 1530s. Luckily Christina eluded him.
4. All Hallows by the Tower
The oldest church in the City of London, All Hallows name partly derives from its proximity to the Tower of London. Fortunately it is one of the only churches in the city that survived the ghastly fire of 1666 primarily because it was so close to the Tower (which was full to the brim of ammunition which meant the authorities did everything they could to keep the fire away). Mary had no direct connection with the place but it is believed that one of the most ardent defenders of her parents' marriage, John Fisher, bishop of Rochester (St John Fisher), was buried there following his execution in 1535. The chapel of St Peter ad Vincula within the Tower is well known as the burial ground of condemned traitors but All Hallows served as an alternative resting place. Who else connected to Mary was buried here remains a mystery; perhaps various individuals she sent to their deaths? The church is also worth visiting for its connections to William Penn (who was baptised here), and John Quincy Adams who married here in 1797. The church is free to enter and photography is permitted.

5. Old Chelsea Church, London
Chelsea Manor, a grand house owned by various prominent individuals including Sir Thomas More, is long gone though the church remains. Most of the church was destroyed by bombing in WWII yet the More chapel remained. Jane Dudley, duchess of Northumberland who, ironically, Mary was close to and was godmother to at least one of her children, is buried here. It was at Chelsea Manor that Jane Grey was told of Edward VI's death; Anne of Cleves, Mary's stepmother, died here in July 1557. The property was also owned by Katherine Parr who settled here after Henry VIII's death with her stepdaughter and Mary's sister, Elizabeth, in her care. The church is free to enter and photography is permitted.

6. Whitehall
Virtually nothing remains of the impressive palace Henry constructed. It was the grandest palace he owned and special lodgings for Mary were constructed there in the 1540s. Henry died here in January 1547 and in 1554 it was the scene of Cardinal Reginald Pole's public reception by Mary and her husband Philip; Pole's arrival signified the official proceedings that reunited England with the Catholic Church. 'Henry VIII's wine cellar', the last remnant of his palace, is located in the basement of the Ministry of Defence.
7. Guildhall
A definite must see. It was here, in 1554, that Mary rallied the citizens of London against the rebels of Wyatt's uprising that attempted to take the city. Jane Grey was condemned to death here in 1554 along with her husband Guilford Dudley, his brothers Henry and Ambrose, and the archbishop of Canterbury, Thomas Cranmer (though Cranmer would later be tried for heresy and sentenced to death on these charges). The present Guildhall was built between 1411 and 1430 though was affected by both the fire of 1666 and bombing in WWII. One single window survived the blast – when entering the hall it is on the immediate right. There is a plaque in the hall commemorating notable trials that took place, listing several that occurred during Mary's reign. Make sure to go into the crypts to check out the medieval foundations and a nineteenth-century stained glass window depicting Sir Thomas More.
8. Westminster Hall
The oldest part of the Palace of Westminster, the hall was built in 1097 intending to be a place for banquets. The hall later served several functions, including becoming the scene of many famous trials. In 1553 Mary's opponent, John Dudley, duke of Northumberland, was tried for treason here and a year later the duke of Suffolk, father to Lady Jane Grey, was condemned to death for his involvement in Wyatt's rebellion. On 1st October, Mary proceeded into the hall in full regalia shortly after her coronation ceremony. She subsequently presided over her magnificent coronation banquet which lasted for some hours. It goes without saying that security is tight and queues long. Photography is permitted in only the hall.

9. The Tower of London
The Tower of London is one of those places which everyone has to visit at least once. Well maybe twice. Or three times; or even four, and maybe.... well, lets just say that despite the absurdly high entrance fee it must be seen. Mary's allies and enemies spent time in this gloomy fortress and she resided her briefly before her coronation as was the custom. Most of these condemned individuals were executed outside on Tower Hill (right by the tube station of the same name), though of the few executed within, on Tower Green, Mary could claim connections. Two of her stepmothers lost their lives here (Anne Boleyn and Katherine Howard) as well as her long-term governess, supporter and relation, Margaret Pole, Countess of Salisbury. It was also the site of an execution carried out on her orders – the beheading of Lady Jane Grey. Elizabeth, Mary's sister, would famously spend time here, after she was accused of complicity in Wyatt's rebellion. As mentioned, entrances prices are high and if you are thinking of visiting on a frequent basis I recommend applying for membership. For £41 a year you can visit the Tower (and Hampton Court Palace) to your heart's content.
The Chapel of St Peter ad Vincula
10. Southwark Cathedral and Winchester Palace
During Mary's reign, trials for heresy were held in the Retro-Choir, the oldest part of the cathedral. The trials were overseen by Stephen Gardiner bishop of Winchester, for the cathedral was then under his authority. The first individual burnt for heresy during Mary's reign – John Rogers – was condemned here, as was Bishop John Hooper who was sent back to his diocese of Gloucester to die. There is no entrance fee but if you wish to take photos there is a very small charge.
Though only a few ruins remain, Winchester Palace is still a place to visit. It located less than 10 minutes from Southwark Cathedral so it is best to see both during one trip. It was the seat of Stephen Gardiner, who was also Lord Chancellor under Mary. According to one contemporary, Gardiner entertained Henry VIII and Katherine Howard at this residence during Henry's attempts to annul his marriage to Anne of Cleves, facilitating his union with Katherine (Mary's fourth stepmother).
Southwark Cathedral
11. Smithfield
Today known for the meat market, Smithfield was once a notorious place of execution. In Mary's day it was a cattle and horse market, which also served as a venue for public burnings of heretics. During Mary's reign, seven Protestants were sent to their deaths here including John Rogers, John Cardmaker, John Bradford, John Philpot, Thomas Tompkins, John Warne and John Leafe. Rogers was the first Protestant to die on charges of heresy during Mary's reign and his courageous example was regarded as inspirational by supporters. Offered a pardon at the execution, Rogers refused, told the crowd to be unwavering in their faith, was tied to the stake and the fire lit. Whilst the flames consumed his body he 'washed his hands in the flame' (Foxe, Acts and Monuments) until it covered his whole body; a symbolic act of washing away the sins. A plaque commemorating the Marian martyrs can be found on the site. When in the area be sure to go into the Priory Church of St Bartholomew the Great which contains one of only two pre-Reformation fonts in London. From 1539 the Lady Chapel served as a printing house. Benjamin Franklin once worked here (when it was Samuel Palmer's printing shop). Fans of films set in the Tudor period may find the place familiar; scenes from Shakespeare in Love and The Other Boleyn Girl were filmed here. There is a small entrance fee and photography is permitted.

12. Museum of London
A museum which, as the name suggests, charts the history of the city. The galleries of interest to Tudor enthusiasts were recently renovated. There isn't much on Mary aside from a very small section on the London Protestant Martyrs and the Reformation, but it is still worth seeing. They also house artefacts from the long gone Nonsuch palace, which was built by Henry VIII in the 1530s. Evidently Mary knew the palace well. The museum is free to enter.
13. The Victoria and Albert Museum
The V&A does hold objects relating to the Tudors but not a vast collection. However its new renaissance wing, which provides context on the age Mary lived through, is outstanding. There are some interesting objects connected to her relatives, including a stained glass window of her aunt and her husband's grandmother, Juana of Castile. In the British gallery there are different objects connected to the Tudors, including Henry VIII's writing desk. Entrance is free.
Stained glass window depicting Juana of Castile commissioned for the Chapel of the Holy Blood in Bruges, c.1496
14. Westminster Abbey
No tour of places connected to Mary is complete without a visit to her resting place. Mary requested burial in the abbey and intended to have her mother's body brought here where the two would share a grand tomb. In the end Mary did end up sharing a tomb with a female relative but not one she would have been happy to be situated next to. The grand monument to Elizabeth marks the spot of Mary's burial. A plaque in front of the tomb reads, 'Partners both in throne and grave, here rests we two sisters, Mary and Elizabeth, in the hope of one resurrection'. Aside from Mary and Elizabeth, two other Tudor monarchs can be found in the abbey, Henry VII and Edward VI, along with Mary's grandmother, Elizabeth of York and her stepmother, Anne of Cleves. Cousin Frances Grey, duchess of Suffolk (Jane Grey's mother) was also buried here as was Margaret Douglas, Countess of Lennox who Mary was rumoured to favour as her successor. Be sure to check out the abbey's museum (entrance fee included with the ticket for the abbey) that houses Mary's funeral effigy. It goes without saying that the ticket price is absurdly high but like the Tower it just is one of those places you have to go to. Get there early to avoid the queues!
The head of Mary's funeral effigy
Enjoy the Mary tour!
(Though I've stated that some places allow photography, always ask beforehand. I have not included Hampton Court Palace as that was not part of London then nor is it now, though it is located a short train ride away and is lovely to look around in summer. Eltham Palace, the childhood home of Henry VIII, is also worth a trip. Take the DLR all the way to Lewisham and from there board a train to Eltham which is about 10 minutes away).

Less than a month after resigning from his post as Cygnus Business Media group publisher, Greg Napert is launching a trade magazine that will compete for advertising dollars with the company he left.
Director of Maintenance, which targets aircraft maintenance business leaders, will be published by Napert and three of his former colleagues from Cygnus' Aircraft Maintenance Technology magazine—including publisher Danny Faupel, editor-in-chief Joe Escobar and salesperson Bob Graf. All four left Cygnus on the same day.
The first issue is to be mailed in early July with an initial print run of 20,000.
At Cygnus, Napert served as group publisher for Aircraft Maintenance Technology, Airport Business and Ground Support Worldwide magazines, and founded Cygnus' AMT Society, a group for aircraft mechanics.
Napert did not sign a non-compete with Cygnus, he tells FOLIO:. A Cygnus spokesperson did not immediately return a request for comment.
"Although the reasons we left AMT are many and personal for each of us, we saw this launch as an opportunity to grow personally and professionally," Napert said in a statement.
"More importantly," he continued, "we saw an opportunity to help those that wish to market their products and services to the aircraft maintenance industry make better use of their marketing dollars by more effectively targeting important aircraft decision makers."
Napert isn't the first ex-Cygnus employee to launch a competing product. In 2005, Mike Domke—a former publisher of Cygnus' OEM Off-Highway magazine—launched Milo Media, which now publishes eight magazines covering the construction, industrial, power, lifting and utility markets. In November, Domke hired former Cygnus staffers Wolfgang Neuwirth and Greg Gerber to launch RV Industry News. Neuwirth had served as publisher and Gerber as editor of Cygnus' RV Trade Digest.

Where's the High Street going?
In the last few weeks we've lost Comet, Jessops and now HMV tetters on the cliff of administration and closure. But then like many I'm a culprit to these places demise - I buy off internet sellers. Well actually I do buy in the High Street when I can get what I want but case in point my daughter bought me Sam Carter - No Testament for Christmas (stunning album btw - check him out!). She went to HMV and no sign of it or of any help for the multi-pierced and studded girl who seemed to know nothing about music. So she bought it off Amazon. I was with my son who looked at a Blu-Ray in there - scanned the bar code and realised he could buy it off Amazon at a fraction of the cost so ordered it there and then.
The last two cameras I bought both presents for the kids were from Wex online. Why? Significantly cheaper than Jessops and with a better package - i.e. I could get the lens they wanted in a package at a good price. Jessops didn't have that flexibility and again the level of knowledge in the staff sadly lacking. I asked about that body with that lens... "Can't do that you have to buy the package and the new lens on top"... Wex - had it online for next day delivery!
In the old days (sound like my Dad now) you'd go to the shop and an expert would know more than you and help you appropriately - my wife often recounts the length of time it took me to be guided to my first SLR purchase back in my early 20s - but that Pentax lasted over 20 years of reliable service.
So now it is so much easier to do your research online so if you care about something you can be an expert as well versed as any. Shops need to reduce costs so it strikes me sadly that too many have people who have little knowledge or interest in the products and so a vicious cycle goes on.
I'll go back to my first ever use of Amazon. My son was about 10 so 12 - 13 years ago now. He was doing a project on rivers and had been given The Orinoco. I went to Foyles in London (biggest bookshop in the world and all that or whatever they state...) and asked for any books on that topic suitable for his age. Frankly total blank despite a really helpful assistant searching the microfiche (remember them?). At home I went on Amazon and had a look - found a suitable book and not that expensive and it arrived in less than a week straight through my letter box. I was sold on this new way of shopping. In those 12 years or so sadly the shops on the High Street have I don't think matched that trend with an improved offering. Maybe places with good knowledge and ability to order "direct to you sir" the exact product they have helped you select do have a place... sadly I think the opportunity for that model has slipped past.
HMV has for a while now resembled little more than a jumble sale - lots of stuff dirt cheap but little depth and breath to the stock. Rows and rows of Bon Jovi CDs at 2 for £10 but no Sam Carter for example! I tried to buy Black County Communions Live Over Europe on Blu Ray in their flagship Oxford St store the month it was released in... ordered it off Amazon again... I rest my case m'lud!
So Jessops, HMV - we came, we asked, you failed... good bye

Good point. Face-to-face retail will only remain an attractive option when it has a USP, and the decline in customer service (inevitable when you have poorly-trained, disinterested, badly-paid staff who don't feel 'invested in' and therefore don't invest in their jobs - take a trip to John Lewis to experience the difference the 'partnership model' can make) has been a big nail in the high street's coffin.ReplyDelete
I have been helping out a chum who's one of the dying breed - a specialist shopkeeper - and the only way he's been able to stay afloat is by making sure his staff immerse themselves in knowledge about what they're selling (a nice opportunity for me to learn about a whole other world, but a serious business for him.). HMV lost any customer loyalty from me years ago, for many of the reasons you raise.
I try to avoid internet sales as much as possible. It's my small protest. I NEVER by off Amazon. Amazon killed bookstores, which I find personally painful. My life is a little less interesting because there's no place to browse for books.ReplyDelete
You might find this of interest.
my son was once banned from HMV for spending too much time looking at the DVDs!!!!ReplyDelete

I don't use Amazon either, because they're a bunch of criminal tax dodgers. One of the reason that firms like Jessops and HMV go under is that they're having to compete with firms who exempt themselves from the taxes that other firms pay.ReplyDelete
I've got fond memories of The Golden Disc in Oldham, and Ere Ear in Lancaster, *record* shops where knowledgeable and hairy staff used to be happy to play their own choice of records all day according to who was in. Now it's just centrally controlled overloud shit from a central point hundreds of miles away, programmed by robots. HMV in Lancaster was useless. I once took a cutting of a review in the Guardian with the CD's details on it and Spotty Yoof said that it wasn't "on the system".
Another problem is that firms like HMV only pay the minimum wage. Why should anyone give a shit about anything for 6.20 an hour? The shops that I mentioned above were collectives, so everyone felt much more involved in the place.
There's a huge secondhand bookshop in Carnforth (an armpit of a town six miles north of Lancaster, an unlikely place to find one of the best secondhand bookshops in Lancashire) which keeps going because if you're even slightly interested in books, its several different rooms will get you lost in fascinated browsing for hours. Downstairs, polite, Tory-voting women sell you fancy wrapping paper and wartime fridge magnets, but in the warren upstairs you can handle real books (and not just "Look Inside!") till your heart's content.

Ah ha! Here's something practical to do about it. Independent booksellers in Warwickshire have started a petition to get Amazon to pay Corporation Tax in the UK (currently paying: nil)ReplyDeleteReplies
Only thing I will just say is actually they are not breaking the law - we are part of the EU and other agreements that make what they do not illegal. Frankly any business is there to increase profit for the shareholders - well any large stock market quoted business is so we shouldn't moan when they do that.Delete
There is a solution to this... change the law and withdraw from the trading agreements. Why is the govt not suggesting this? Oh yes they realise it'll kill inward investment into the UK over night. So they make us the customers get angry about it and customer power takes over see the Starbucks incident recently. I find that somewhat cynical but then I find much of govt cynical in the extreme. They are the govt if this abhors them so much change the law make it illegal. Any company wanting to trade will then have to abide. Maybe it would restore companies like HMV etc. to the UK if they did. *side whisper* Trust me they won't, they don't really want to annoy big business that much

I think you've hit some good points right on the nail there Graham. I am very pro-EU (I don't want to fight anyone thanks) but I don't understand how in a free trade area such as the EU is supposed to be, someone can domicile a company in its smallest country (Luxembourg) where it does what 0.5% of its trade, and mysteriously cut its tax bill. I don't understand it, but it's wrong.Delete
Jessops asked for it, to be honest. Long before the internet became commonplace they were replacing their staff with people that knew very little about photography; kids serving in their outlets prepared to argue with a potential customer (me) when not in possession of all the facts, and indifferent management who should have known better.ReplyDelete
In 2007 I spent over £6000 on equipment that I bought online, purely because Jessops did not/would not stock what I wanted, or delivery times were excessive. What did I buy from Jessops in that same period? Two packs on lens tissues. QED

Carefully Plan Your Bathroom Remodeling Project
Bathroom remodeling can be done for a variety of reasons. Perhaps you have an outdated lavatory that needs a face-lift with new tile, cabinets, and paint. Maybe you want a different style altogether and are looking for a new tub and other fixtures as well. Or, maybe you have challenges that require you to make easier mobility updates to the room. Whatever your reason, you are probably working in a relatively small space, so it is important to carefully plan out the essential, as well as the aesthetic, features of the room.
What is Needed
There are certain features of your bathroom that you need. A place to shower or bathe, a sink, and a commode are required for full baths. However, you have a lot of design options for each of those. Do you have room for a free-standing tub? If so, you may need to get new fixtures that will work with it. Sinks can come in cabinet enclosures or may also be free-standing. They can be made of porcelain, have a clear design, or be composed of many other materials. For the commode, you can choose from longer or taller models, as well as color and shape.
You will probably also want some cabinet space and how much is up to you. This often depends on how much space is available and what you want to store in the room. Bigger areas may have room for towels, but smaller spaces may only have room for a few personal products.
Flooring is also an important consideration in your bathroom remodeling project. Besides the popular vinyl or laminate flooring, you have the option of tile, marble, or many other materials. Some floors can even be installed with heaters so you never have to step out of the shower onto a cold floor again!
Design Options
Search the Internet for tools that will help you plan out your project. There are websites that can help you with placing fixtures and trying out colors and patterns to see what looks best in your space. Visit different showrooms to see staged bathrooms setups for more ideas.
Professional Help
If you are doing significant additions to your bathroom, such as expanding the space, you will definitely need the assistance of an experienced contractor. They will work with you to design the entire room, including supporting walls and any other architectural changes that may be needed.
If you are updating the floor with tile or marble, you may want to consider a professional service as well, since they will have all the necessary tools to cut and lay the material in the correct manner. For your fixtures, you will likely need the help of a plumber when you are working with the shower, tub, sink, and toilet area. And if you are updating the lighting in the room, you may also need a qualified electrician.
Certainly, there are some parts of the project you can do yourself. But don't overestimate the value of using a professional to talk through your design, recommend the parts that might need specialized attention, and provide proper installation. Take time to do your homework before your next bathroom remodeling project and you will be glad you did!

Good morning all, so here is our first post of the day and it's a little about Kate Rigby's new book. read on to find out more.
Set in the nineteen-seventies, Did You Whisper Back? begins with Amanda Court's longing to be reunited with her estranged twin sister Jo. Following a false lead, Amanda leaves her Merseyside home and family and goes to Devon to work as a chambermaid where she believes Jo now lives. Amanda's new life begins to encroach on her personal space and time, and her search for Jo is put on hold until Amanda feels Jo calling her back to Liverpool.
Gradually it emerges that Jo is, seemingly, just a figment of Amanda's imagination arising from distorted childhood memories. She experiences a series of strange and sometimes frightening experiences, including lamps talking and the endless ringing of telephones, until the desperation of her family reaches breaking point.
Did You Whisper Back? is a psychological novel about family secrets and a disturbing portrayal of the fragility of the mind.
This book was awarded a Southern Arts Bursary.
Kate Rigby was born near Liverpool and now lives in the south west of England. She's been writing for nearly forty years, with a few small successes along the way. She is a hybrid author, having been traditionally published, small press published and now indie published.
She realized her unhip credentials were mounting so she decided to write about it. Little Guide to Unhip was first published in 2010 and it has since been updated.

Skrev Press published her novels Seaview Terrace (2003) Sucka!(2004) and Break Point (2006) and other shorter work has appeared in Skrev's avant garde magazine Texts' Bones.
Thalidomide Kid was published by Bewrite Books (2007).
She has had other short stories published and shortlisted including Hard Workers and Headboards, first published in The Diva Book of Short Stories and as part of the Dancing In The Dark erotic anthology, Pfoxmoor Publishing (2011)
She also received a Southern Arts bursary for her novel Where A Shadow Played (now re-Kindled as Did You Whisper Back?).
She has re-Kindled her backlist of previously published as well as most of her unpublished work including:
- Break Point (Awesome Indies Certified)
- Seaview Terrace
- Far Cry From The Turquoise Room
- Suckers n Scallies (formerly Sucka!)
- Down The Tubes (Underground Book Reviews Certified)
- She Looks Pale
- Tales By Kindlelight (a collection of short stories, many of them previously published or shortlisted in short story competitions and now available in paperback as She Looks Pale & Other Stories)
- Savage To Savvy (ABNA Quarter-Finalist 2012 and Awesome Indies Approved)
- Thalidomide Kid
- The Dead Club
More information can be found at:
The giveaway is for 2 of Kate's previous books, "Savage To Savvy" and "Far Cry From The Turquoise Room". Both are paperbacks and UK only.

I've always been a sucker for woodwork, and the details found at temples often really impress me. Looking at the shape and cleanness of some of these pieces is pretty impressive considering their age.

Issue #181, The Mighty Thor (October 1970)
The Mighty Thor "One God Must Fall!"
Thunderous!Thursday, Emo!Thor Enthusiasts!
So. Skyrim: Dawnguard. That's still happening. I managed to survive the Soul Cairn and gain both the ability to summon a spectral horse and a spectral dragon, which… AWESOME. Now it's on to the regular Elder Scroll part of the quest that, well, I've already done twice, so I suppose it shouldn't take too long. I just loathe going into the Dweomer ruins, like whoa. Perhaps it'll be easier in Vampire Lord form? Hmm. The possibilities are staggering. Either way, I'm going to attempt to get it all wrapped up before we leave for the theater tonight so I can start fresh on Uncharted 2 tomorrow. I really enjoyed Uncharted, so here's hoping the second one (which I hear is even better) lives up to the hype.
Speaking of the theater… HELLO THAR BATSY! Midnight premiere of The Dark Knight Rises tonight. SO FREAKING EXCITED BECAUSE BATMANOMGBANEWTF? Seriously, Knightfall is, quite possibly, one of my all-time favorite Batsy arcs and I'm intrigued to see how much of it translates to the screen and how. Preliminary reviews are all saying good things, or so I hear, but even if they didn't? Wouldn't stop me. Batsy!Love!
Oh hey, also:
They're only an inch tall and a hell of a lot of fun to make. I just have to decide if I'm going to pop a pin in them and sell them as pendants or just leave them their adorable little selves. We'll see!
And as for SDCC news, pretty much here at io9 was enough to make me scream in happiness, but also?
Looks like the Apocalypse has been cancelled because 2013 and 2014 are going to be AWESOMESAUCE!
When last we saw our mis-faced hero, he was in Hades, encased in some clear goo, presumably having lost a battle against one of the Madness!Globules. Sexay!Sif and the Warriors!Three had all arrived to save him and were given the bad news by Prankster!Mephisto. When they demand his release, he tells them NAY:
Naturally, this doesn't sit well with Loki!or's would-be rescuers:
Voluminous!Volstagg, encouraged by P!M's disappearance, immediately takes the credit for it:
Maligned!Mephisto takes exception to his boasting:
Sif, Hogun, and Fandral all run off to find Mephisto, leaving Plastic!Wrapped Loki!or to watch on helplessly:
This realization sends Loki!or into a flashback montage and we are again reminded of how he came to be in this woeful predicament:
Meanwhile, we flash over to the Rescue!Crew who are busy trying to vanquish Mephisto:
Sexay!Sif realizes that there's only ONE way to defeat their foe:
Her efforts do not go unnoticed by Loki!or:
Apparently, it has now dawned on our hero that, though his body be cellophaned, his MIND is still working at full capacity:
It does exactly what Loki!or had in mind, serving to enrage the dragon rather than kill it, and, naturally, it turns in the direction from which the blade flew:
Before she succumbs, she takes a moment to really look at the situation:
Even she has to admit surprise:
And no sooner does she realize this:
Like a true Asgardian Gentleman, Loki!or tends to his woman first:
The melted-ice cleverness hasn't left him either, because he's got an answer to Sif's concern:
Naturally, Mephisto has something to say about his declaration:
Yes, back on earth, it appears Thor!ki has decided to take his beef with not being Ultimate Supreme Ruler Of All That He Surveys (currently: Earth) and barricaded everyone important inside so he could plead his case:
Inside, the U!N is doing what it does best:
Even Thor!ki is tired of hearing it:
He shuts them all up by unleashing a thunderstorm in the middle of the room:
Thor!ki is working himself into a serious righteous indignation when he hears something odd:
Thor!ki unleashes a Hammer!Bolt at his newest annoyance, but Balder has figured out his moves already:
This, naturally, sends Thor!ki into a rage and he immediately goes to plan B:
BUT! As I'm sure you've already discovered, things don't exactly work out:
Balder chortles in the background:
Meanwhile, as Thor!ki prepares to smash-itty Balder, we skip back out to Hell, where Mephisto is dealing with a meddlesome pest of his own:
And then, he does something really weird:
Mephisto yields:
He decides it's best to just let them go:
They leave, heading for home, only to be stopped at Bifrost by Heimdall, who demand to see their Asgardian IDs before proceeding:
Inside, it seems the Vizier has already broken the news to Daddy!Odin about Loki's betrayal:
Back on earth, just as Thor!ki prepares to pound Balder into dust, he's plucked up from the midst of battle by one of his own mystic bubbles and whisked away:
Seems Loki!or realizes that he needs to get Thor!ki to throw Mjolnir and sets out to do just that, goading him with rocks and insults. Thor!ki responds to his boulder with a hammer strike and retaliates with a crane. Loki!or dodges and continues throwing various construction equipment until finally:
He lets the hammer stay stuck in a rock off to the side, letting Thor!ki move in for the kill:
But no matter how may times he gets smacked, our hero refuses to go down:
This only confuses the heck out of Fake!Thor:
And then? THEN, Loki!or lets him in on the joke:
And with the body change?
And Lame!Blake wastes NO TIME taking advantage of Stunned!Loki's shock, running for the stick:
He somehow manages to pull it out of the stone and thwacks it on the ground:
Thor asks Loki if he plans to fight or run:
His *real* answer:
Our hero flies off into the sunset and leaves us to ponder Loki's next move.
Until Monday!

With close to 50% of it's population accessing the internet, eMarketer estimates, Brazil has some 100 million people consuming media via digital channels, many across multiple devices. And while television is still the famed king of the living room, it is interesting to see even some TV watching moving online.
October 2013 data from IBOPE and Target Group Index (TGI) showed TV still as the most "traditional" of the media surveyed: 92% of TV viewership in Brazil was exclusively offline, and only 6% did some of their TV-watching on the internet. The numbers were very similar between Brazil and the rest of Latin America, and in both geographies none of the consumers surveyed watched TV exclusively offline.
Radio showed a similar digital potential in Brazil, with 5% of consumers listening to radio both online and offline, and even 1% claiming they listened exclusively to internet radio. Again, online-vs.-offline consumer preferences for radio in Latin American were similar to those in Brazil. Newspaper had the most pull in its digital version with consumers in Brazil, gathering 9% of online-and-offline readership, and 7% of exclusive online reading.
While many media consumers in Brazil seem to resist migrating their usage online, simultaneous use is on the rise. In fact, TV and internet seem to be the two media most prone to simultaneous use. IBOPE and TGI found that 32% of consumers watched TV and accessed the internet at the same time. Interestingly, however, the next most popular two media to pair up were both offline, as 22% of respondents said they watched TV and read the newspaper at the same time. In third, 18% browsed the web while listening to the radio.
A May 2013 study by Ericsson seemed to corroborate the affinity between TV and internet in Brazil, and indicated that 59% of broadband internet users use apps or browse the internet to find out more about what is on TV. This ranked Brazil as the country with the third largest share of respondents who used the two media simultaneously, only behind Ireland and China, and ahead of more developed markets such as South Korea and UK.
