ARIES NEW MOON is coming up on March 30th at 2:44 pm EDT at 9 Aries 58. Have you checked what personal planet + area of your chart will be activated by this New Moon?
The Aries New Moon will feel a whole bit differently compared to the Pisces New Moon of March 1st. This New Moon activates the first chapter of the Cardinal Grand Cross activation that will be fully empowered next month. How do we self-express and discharge our energy and anger, how do we handle stress, resolve conflict, and most importantly…how do we calm down. This is in preparation for mid-end of April eclipse activation.
Keep in mind that Mars, ruler of this New Moon, is still in Libra and retrograde, in the sign opposite of its rulership. The North Node (our collective higher ground & most effective strategy) is also in Libra. This means that our inner tigers may be encouraged to become better at managing energy, to be truly effective during this time. Also that our new exercise routine may be closer to a restorative or gentle practice of yoga for example, or gentle movement (i.e. Qigong, Tai Chi, Free Body Movement, Dance, etc.). To help us gain a greater awareness of how we are energetically interacting with Self + relating to others, how we dance with rhythm of life and Source, how we make things happen in the most collaborative way.

As I was frantically tying up loose ends and packing for a trip to Milwaukee, where my wife is working on her MFA this summer, I thought all hope for an R-12 was lost. Then it dawned on me to check the RUSA database to see if I could locate a suitable permanent route in the area. When I contacted Ted D., the owner of the Holy Kettle 205K, not only was he happy to accommodate my last-minute request, but he also offered to throw a bike loan into the bargain! While I figured I could arrange a rental from an LBS in the area (or ride on the Brompton I brought along to explore Milwaukee), Ted was more than happy to dial-in one of the beautiful machines in his collection to meet my exact specifications. So rather than ride some assembly-line special, I found myself enjoying the company of a gorgeous Rivendell complete with 650b balloon tires, bar-end shifters and handlebar bag. I felt like pinching myself at several points during the day in fear that I might be dreaming.
The Holy Kettle 205K gets its name from a mash-up of two of its most defining features. After leaving the northern edge of Milwaukee along the shore of Lake Michigan, the route heads due west to a church known as the Holy Hill Basilica, located high on an outcrop above the verdant farmland below. The climb up the "holy hill" gets one's attention, yet the rider is rewarded with a peaceful setting high above the troubles of the world. After a brief stop at this control, I rode back down to earth to continue my journey north through the Kettle Moraine region, a beautiful area left behind following the last ice age that features smooth rollers as far as the eye can see. The headwinds were manageable throughout the morning, but took a little bit of the joy out of riding through the picturesque expanse of farmlands I saw before me on this first half of the ride.
The northwestern corner of the route, located within the boundaries of the Kettle Moraine State Forest, requires some climbing along lightly traveled scenic highways to reach. The control is located at a small shop run by a kind and welcoming couple who had clearly seen a few cyclists riding through over the years. As the sun had been beating down on me for the past several hours, a bottle of cold Gatorade and an ice cream cone really hit the spot. Bottles filled, I headed out to the east again in search of Lake Michigan and the tailwinds I was sure to encounter along the way.
The ride east from the third control begins with a series of welcome descents away from the park and into the more open farmland below. The roads along this section are generally smooth and straight and afford the rider plentiful views of the countryside that contributes to Wisconsin's well-deserved reputation as America's Dairyland. The penultimate control is found in the small village of Oostburg, close to the banks of Lake Michigan. The last stretch of the route that follows is divided equally between paved rail trail and sections of Lake Shore Drive, which seemed to be a very popular after-work cycling destination as I passed dozens of cyclists heading north out of Milwaukee on this fine summer evening.
As an added bonus on this 10-day trip to Milwaukee, I was able to watch a former student of mine race as a pro in the Downer Classic, one of several stages in the Tour of America's Dairyland. It was my first criterium and boy was it exciting! I only wish they had organized a Brompton category.

"He's a secular saint, and relics are an important symbol of his fight for freedom of thought," said Paolo Galluzzi, the director of the Galileo Museum, which put the tooth, thumb and index finger on view last month, uniting them with another of the scientist's digits already in its collection.
'Secular saint' is a new one on EoR, and he's not really sure what that means. Though it's probably no sillier than the 21 foreskins of Jesus (presumably some sort of circumcisory equivalent of the miracle of the loaves and fishes). Thankfully, all dissension has now ended since the Holy Prepuce has ascended into Heaven and became the rings of Saturn.
So what would Galileo be the patron saint of? Deluded self taught scientists with theories that will overturn the scientific establishment if only they would listen?

'General' public should provide real support
Gen. David Petraeus
There should be no doubt, the so-called surge is working, but, in September, I am afraid Gen. Petraeus will downplay the positive effect for fear of appearing too partisan. It is sad that, in today's society and political environment, it is unacceptable for a general to be… well, a general. Even worse is an ambivalent public afraid to root for their own team.
"Our strategy in going after this army is very simple. First we are going to cut it off, and then we are going to kill it," Gen. Colin Powell said.
Americans applauded Colin Powell's comments at a press briefing during the Gulf War, back in the early '90s, but today such a comment would be met with calls for investigations and the possibility of war crimes. It seems that as society becomes more comfortable, softer, emasculated, the idea of a general who says things generals generally say, during a time of war, is completely unacceptable for a general public "at peace."
General Colin Powell
Generals lead the military and the function of a military, a good military, is to defeat the enemy. Yet, we live in a society that frowns on little children playing soldier, and that attitude is projected onto grown-ups engaged in the real thing. As citizens, we have become like impatient customers at a fast food restaurant, eyes rolling if we have to wait a little longer for the fries. We want results, security, but like anyone who has worked in the service industry knows – there's a lot of disdain for the workers.
Petraeus, the hired help, is supposed to get the job done, without making too much noise. The general seems to understand this and has quietly gone to work. Unlike past generals leading his troops, Petraeus has yet to give his men and women a rallying call, an appeal for victory. It is as if he were expecting to get a scolding look of disapproval from an arms-crossed paternalistic public.
I like Gen. Petraeus; he's what a presentable CEO is to a profitable Fortune 500 company. Casualties, civilian deaths and attacks are down, and the general can make a great presentation to the American public, come mid-September, but leading the world's most powerful military is more than a positive PowerPoint presentation. As Commander of Multinational Forces in Iraq and leader of the 160,000 troops currently fighting in theater, the general's responsibility is to the welfare of his troops, not to the fickle political interpretation of his mission.
Those who view the conflict in Iraq as a bumper sticker will ask what victory is, and that's where we get to some of the problem. Personally, I'm convinced there are many Americans who would like for the United States to "lose" in Iraq, and then there are those who think there simply can be no victory. The media has done its share in blurring the line so that defeat would look something more like an enormous mea culpa to the "international community", some would consider this a favorable outcome.
Patton, one of the most successful and colorful generals of the 20th century, was a man obsessed with one thing – victory. Can anyone imagine a present day general saying this?
General George Patton
"Americans love a winner. Americans will not tolerate a loser. Americans despise cowards. Americans play to win all of the time. I wouldn't give a hoot in hell for a man who lost and laughed" (speech to the 3rd Army 1944).
Sadly, 60 years later, even the idea of Petraeus patriotically speaking in front of a two-story flag would probably offend many on the home front. Between the pacifying military reality of Baghdad and the brutal political reality of Washington, the lead general is caught in a Chinese finger trap, if he relaxes to wiggle out, he'll look weak, and if he pulls too hard he will appear pro-war. It is a game forced on him in his role as "military ambassador to the American public" instead of commander of coalition forces in Iraq.
"If I could only have one [thing] at this point in Iraq, it would be more time."
– Gen. David Petraeus July 10, 2007
To a man leading the most powerful military in the world, it is disconcerting that Petraeus' greatest concern may not be enemy action but public dissatisfaction. As an embedded reporter with the American military, I write these words from Iraq, where I've never met a "pro-war" Marine or soldier; just troops who want to successfully complete their task. There are those who are opposed to this war and those opposed to the idea of war itself – I suspect these are the groups who denounce children playing pretend war in school yards. But when it comes to supporting a true war on a real battlefield, the troops should expect real support.

Workshop Class
Tuesdays, we discuss the art of crafting long fiction (because we are critiquing the chapters of our novels) so the first part is a lecture and the second half is saved for workshopping classmates' work. Our instructor discussed the myriad ways an author can choose to start his/her chapters in a novel. While he discussed the possibilities, I wrote down notes for my story, already mixing up my flow for my novel. If anything, every time I walk into class, my brain whirs with information, absorbing and instantly applying those techniques to my work. Can you tell I'm still excited about this experience after my third week? Continue reading "Third Week of Graduate School"

__It goes by different names… beware!
A dear friend told me that his teenage son was refusing to go to school, and would prefer to go straight into business, so I offered to chat to the young lad when I had an opportunity.
"I want to make a lot of money," the young man told me confidently and emphatically. "Even now, I'm already making money," he added. "Look at my watch. How many people at university have this kind of watch?!"
I listened and let him talk. It was clear as he spoke that in his mind he had a clear image of people who make money in his community. These "rich guys" as he put it, had powerful contacts in government. They came from particular tribes and so were related to the right guys.
Business to him was access to the public purse!
He told me about how people were making dizzying amounts of money on public tenders, and as if to convince me to join him he said: "Mr Masiyiwa, it is easy to make money if you know the right people, and if your 'own people' are in the right position!"
I listened.
"Take (so and so)…he got a tender from his cousin who is in charge of (so and so). This guy does not know anything, but guess what? He made a lot of money! And you want me to rot in university!"
I listened.
"Right now our 'own people' are in charge of the country, after the recent elections," he said, "so this is the time to make money. I cannot waste time."
"Your 'own' people?" I quizzed.
"Yes, the new minister is from our area. He has promised to make things happen."
"So the country is not your 'own' as well?" I asked quietly.
"Those other tribes don't care for us when they are in power. We all know this."
"So education does not matter?"
"The guys making money nowadays have no education," he laughed.
"Look at this guy! He just got himself a brand new BMW. He dropped out of school!"
Finally, he laughed: "Mr Masiyiwa, I can even be called "doctor" (just like you) because there are people who can arrange that if you have money!"
#Africa, listen! Corruption undermines the values of our children.
If our children grow up to believe that education does not matter — that instead, it is those who know SOMEONE from SOMEWHERE rather than those who know SOMETHING that get ahead — then no amount of shouting about corruption will end it!
Never put your tribe and its interests above that of the rule of law or your nation. We prosper only when our whole nation prospers, and that is only possible if we are able to properly incentivize those who value education, and the skills it brings… proudly and unapologetically!
Everything this young man said was total hogwash, but sadly, around the continent we have allowed our value systems to be so tainted by corruption that we fail to see the nation-state beyond our villages and tribes!
# Tribalism is a form of corruption. It is corruption of the worst kind.
# We cannot elect leaders just so that "our" own tribe or village can prosper!
# Corruption of this kind (and all others) can and will destroy our children, our families, and our countries with it.
As parents, it is our job to inculcate the right value system into our kids, including about education, and its power.
Fred Swaniker's African Leadership Academy website cites these values which guide their work:
# Integrity – We are people of our word, with the courage to do what is right.
# Curiosity – We challenge the status quo and take the initiative to pursue new ideas.
# Humility – We are thankful for opportunities and are aware of our limitations.
# Compassion – We empathize with and care for those around us.
# Diversity – We respect all people and believe that difference should be celebrated.
# Excellence – We set high standards for our own achievement and celebrate the achievements of others.
Say you decided to put together your own #LionessMom or #LionDadwebsite… What values would YOU highlight? Let's talk.

A Spotlite on BRIAN NEWMAN
Brian Newman by Lori Zimmer
April 2011
It was a slow Sunday at our favorite dive–St. Jerome–my friends and I were almost the only customers, and we made our own dance party as we were accustomed to do since the music was always so good. As one dancey 60′s soul jam ended, another began, and Brian Newman flew from his bartending post, over the bar, and immediately into an intense jive dance session with a young lady. And damn! They were good.
We became friendlier as time went on, and when he started stopping in the bar decked in dapper three-piece suits, rather than his usual 50's white-T and jeans, I soon learned of his Jazz-era musical talents.
A Swing resurgence happened in the 1990's, but I was a bit too young to fully partake. I do remember using a fake ID to go to a bar called "King Snake Lounge" in Buffalo, New York, and ordering some sort of green martini that I thought looked cool. But with the onslaught of all those bands like the Brian Setzer Orchestra, Big Bad Voodoo Daddy and (worse) the Cherry Poppin' Daddies, that old-time glamour became cheesy–something to be sold at Hot Topic.
I finally saw Brian in his element, performing at Duane Park on my birthday. The setting feels like a sitting room in Versailles (OK, slightly less fancy), the food is fantastic, and most importantly–the phenomenal show. Brian's vocals are more velvety than Fred Astaire's could ever be. He does all the standards that my grandfather used to put on mixtapes for me, while intermittently walking through the tables playing the trumpet. He is a talented musician in a way that is overlooked in pop culture–except for in a place like New York. Raw, unproduced talent that is also transformative–in that just by watching and listening you lose the sense of where you are, or WHEN you are.
He performs with his own band a few times a week, at the lush Oak Room Bar at the Plaza Hotel on Wednesday nights from 9 to 11pm (I'm still saving up for that $30 glass of champers), Duane Park on Fridays and rotating hotspots and galleries in New York, LA and abroad.
Lori Zimmer: New York is a city of dreams, cliché or not. Did you move here to pursue music? How long have you been here? How did you start out?
Brian Newman: I remember telling my mother when I was 12 that I wanted to be a New York City jazz musician. I started out as a trumpet player in concert band when I was 10. I loved playing, but didn't dig the band that much. Then my band director recommended I take this summer jazz program. It was an awakening for me. Before that point I hadn't realized that there was music off the written page. There was this other world of music without boundaries–the first and only form of true American music. That was it, baby. I spent the rest of middle school, high school, college and my early days in New York, playing as much as I could, in between paying my dues and the rent. I've been here almost 10 years now, and my life in the music business just keeps growing.
LZ: My grandfather was a swing musician, and turned me on to the romance of the Swing Era. How did you get turned onto that era?
BN: I grew up listening to a radio station in Cleveland that played all the greats: Sinatra, The Dorsey Brothers, Chick Webb, Count Basie…all the great tunes from the American songbook, like the Gershwin brothers, Cole Porter, Sammy Cahn and Jule Styne. I perform a lot of those songs nightly. With my own edge, you know? It's not granddad's high school dance, but appeals to young and old because of the timelessness of the music.
LZ: Do you think New York is ready for another glamour era, or do you think you have that niche filled?
BN: I think New York always was and still is the most glamorous place on earth. It's not really about filling a niche, or playing a part–it's just my lifestyle.
LZ: Have you always played old jazz, or are you a secret power ballad musician? What are your influences and favorites?
BN: Ha! Depends on your definition of power ballad. Johnny Hartman singing Billy Strayhorn's "Lush Life" with John Coltrane is the original power ballad…but I really dig that good old-fashioned Rock and fucking Roll too. That definitely comes out in my performances. I love jazz and American popular music the most but I'm a rocker at heart. Some of my favorite rock influences are Think Lizzy, ACDC (with Bon Scott), the Stones, KISS, Prince, Van Halen (with David Lee Roth), Bad Company…I could go on and on…I'm just a lover of great performers. These guys could electrify an audience all night long. True entertainers.
LZ: The old-timey era (I have a bad habit of calling it that) seems to be coupled with burlesque in modern times, you also perform with Burlesque dancers at Duane Park. Have you always been involved in the burlesque revival?
BN: When I first moved to New York, it seemed like a natural step to get involved with burlesque. In the Burlesque era, the jazz musicians that were playing society gigs in the evening were also playing the same music (albeit a bit dirtier) in the burlesque halls late at night. I still perform a lot of that music with cream of the crop burlesque ladies at Duane Park every Fridays. It's hard work being surrounded by elegant, gorgeous, high-heeled, fish-netted women all time. Somehow I manage! Hahaha!
LZ: How did you get to the point of living off of music alone?
BN: In the beginning I worked waiting tables and bartending while at the same time hustling, getting gigs, and meeting people. It took a good amount of time for me to carve out my own way. I still am.
LZ: You perform with several different outfits , tell me about some of them.
BN: I'll occasionally special guest with some of my favorite New York City artists, but I'm mostly focusing on my quartet right now.
LZ: What's your typical day in the life?
BN: I'll wake up around noon (maybe later, depending on how late the gig was the night before), then play a little trumpet just to keep me sharp. I work on my original music, set lists, and new songs every day to keep the show moving forward. Then I put my suit on and rip.
LZ: What's next in the fabulous life of Brian Newman?
BN: I'm working on an album with the quartet of originals and standards that I'm really excited about. I'm always working on bigger and better things–new shows, new songs. I'm looking forward to a long career entertaining people with the music I love, and I'm enjoying ever step along the way.
Brian Newman is a New York City based singer and trumpeter, specializing in Jazz Era standards. He can be found every Wednesday at the Plaza Hotel's Oak Room, Fridays at Duane Park, and various gig with band The Dirty Pearls.

Increasing demand for smart electronic devices is driving integration and further miniaturization of integrated circuit (IC) technology. Interacting physics arising from shrinking geometries, especially in FinFETs, stacked-die and emerging 3D-IC architectures, result in power integrity and reliability-related design challenges. By simulating electromigration, thermal effects and electrostatic discharge phenomena, you can verify the power noise integrity and reliability of the most complex ICs. ANSYS simulation and modeling tools offer you early power budgeting analysis for high-impact design decisions and foundry-certified accuracy needed for IC sign-off.
System-aware IC power integrity and reliability
At the core of every electronics system is a chip that has to meet multiple conflicting requirements, such as high performance, increased functionality, power efficiency, reliability and low cost. Ensuring the chip meets power integrity and reliability requirements as both a stand-alone component and within the electronics system calls for a system-aware chip design methodology. ANSYS uniquely offers a suite of multidomain, multiphysics solutions to support a chip-package-system (CPS) design flow.
Foundry certified accuracy
With the cost of designing and implementing a system-on-chip (SoC) ranging from $50 million to $200 million, first-time working silicon is a must. IC designers require the most accurate simulation solution and consider foundry certification as the ultimate proof of accuracy. ANSYS semiconductor solutions have been certified at all leading foundries since 2006.
Production-proven solutions

Between laziness, procrastination, and writer's block, the ol' blog has been stagnant for too long. I just haven't been "feeling it" these days. I've had some ideas, but just not much interest.
I've finally got a few ideas for quite a few posts, so let's see if I can get rolling.
I never met Gary "Goggles" Head (aka Gyre-Viper), but I do know of his impact on GI Joe Collectors over the past few years. I can't really say much about who he is, besides the few times I've heard him on a few podcasts and his posts on the GI Joe Discussion Facebook page.
Gary passed away just a short time ago at the far too young age of around 35-36. He died of a damn heart attack. Like I said, I don't really know him, but his passing kinda' hurt. Here was a prominent voice in the world of GI Joe and now he's gone. What the hell... I can only offer prayers to his family and to all of the friends he made throughout the GI Joe community.
This stark collision of collecting toys and the cold hard reality of death is just tough to grasp and wrestle with. All of us, with our collections of varying sizes, aren't getting out of this alive. One post in the Discussion post after Gary passed, was related to the disposition of collections. The writer was asking if anyone has made any plans for their collections after they are gone, or hell, even in the event of a damn heart attack or even a car accident. Tomorrow isn't guaranteed. I've thought about this a lot lately, especially as I'm beginning my journey into my 6th decade.
I'm 52 years old. Fifty-two. Over half a century old. And I still buy action figures.
I don't have a gun collection or a bass boat or a sports car or a mistress. I have my plastic crack addiction. And I don't think that it's such a bad thing to have.
Have I spent a lot of money on toys over my life? Yeah, I don't really want to think about how much money...
Do I enjoy them? Hell yeah... I like them; they make me happy and keep my childhood imagination alive. I've got a Will made, but what about my toys? What's the wife and kids to do with all my stuff if something happens to me? I don't want it all to go at yard sale prices. I'd like as nice of a return on my collection as possible. I think it's time to make a "disposition" manual for my collection, maybe just some explanations and thoughts as to how the stuff should be sold off.
I just sold two 40 year old worn out comic books for $127.00. I know there's more money in my ton o' crap.
But what if I'm around for a while? My dad is 81 years old and in pretty dang good shape. Maybe I've got another 30+ years ahead of me. Still, what about all this crap? GI Joe seems to be on a slow, steady decline into cultural decay. The heroism and honor inherent in the sacrifices and services of the soldier seem important to some, but I'm afraid that those ideals are nearly socially unacceptable. In a world of social parasites, personal honor and sacrifice are in decline.
Enough of that depressing shit.
My mother-in-law lives with us; she's almost 91 years old. Ninety-one! Almost 91 trips around the sun. That's frikkin' awesome! Her health is decent enough; her lungs are her biggest issue right now. She's still pretty sharp mentally. Sure, she forgets short-term stuff often, but she's 91! She's earned it!
She still sews a good bit as long as her strength holds out and then she's got to rest for a while. There are fewer days ahead for her, but she's still semi-active and loving life. Some days, she's weak and just sits and watches TV and naps and that's okay too.
She still impresses the hell out of me; she's still going strong at 91!
So let me cast my imagination forward another 30-40 years from now. Hopefully, the madness of the world will have settled down and the impending World War III will be averted before we all perish at the hands of madmen and tyrants.
Maybe one day, I'll be sitting in my hover-recliner, watching the latest holographic news broadcast, and I'll have a few of my old action figures there beside me, helping me to keep my child-like sense of wonder and fun alive.
I'm okay with that thought.
What are your plans? Where do you see yourself 30-40 years from now?

About Connect
Saddle Creek is an independent record label based in Omaha, NE. It began in 1993 as Lumberjack Records releasing cassettes from a group of friends that were playing in Omaha-based bands at the time. Some of those bands are still around and most are not, but many of the same players remain on the roster (Bright Eyes, Cursive). Saddle Creek began documenting the local scene, much in the same way that other like-minded independent labels around the country began (Merge, Sub Pop, Dischord). Over the years, the roster has expanded to include bands from outside the region, including The Rural Alberta Advantage (Toronto), Land of Talk (Montreal), and PUJOL (Nashville) among others.

So compared to the 360, how does this version fare? I really want to know so I can decide which version to get.
It's better looking. Free online. That's about it
No offense, but there's a bit more to it than that. I can't say much about how the visuals compare to the other consoles (even though it is quite pretty), but what I do know is:
- Off TV play with the GamePad
- Dual screen multiplayer offline and online
- Wii Remote and Nunchuck support, as well as GamePad, Wii U Pro Controller, and Classic Contoller
- Full multiplayer experience (minus the Clans feature), Squads Mode, and Extinction
- Miiverse community
- No word on DLC yet, but it's always possible
Also, the community has grown leaps and bounds since launch. It's nowhere near as big as other systems' communities, but it's promising. However, if all of your friends have it on 360, you'd probably be better off getting it on there. Especially if few to none of the Wii U exclusive features interest you.
Yea, for games like CoD it really comes down to what system your friends play on. I have Ghosts for the 360 because that's where my friends play; it's as simple as that. It's nice that the 360 has about 300,000 players online at any given time, but that really doesn't matter too much because you're only ever playing with about a dozen of that at once lol. As long as you can get a match in the game type you want, I see no problem with numbers of people playing. Long-term support and DLC does make a huge difference, though. I hope you Wii U guys get decent treatment when it comes to that stuff.

The overwhelming majority of Bay Area consumers will pay much steeper insurance premiums under the House Republican's plan than they do under the Affordable Care Act, according to preliminary figures released Tuesday by the state's health insurance exchange.
The data from Covered California surfaced the day after the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office predicted that 24 million Americans would lose health coverage under the proposed American Health Care Act by 2026.
Health care costs in the Golden State are most expensive in the Bay Area — mostly because of the consolidation of the health care industry industry here. But the GOP plan would make it even harder for Bay Area residents to afford insurance, Peter Lee, Covered California's executive director, told reporters Tuesday afternoon.
That's because subsidies in the GOP plan would be based strictly on a person's age and income, while the Affordable Care Act — commonly known as Obamacare — takes into consideration a wide variety of factors, including a person's age, family size, income and geography. That means that the cost of living, including the price of insurance, in an area is factored into the size of tax credits consumers receive.
"We are deeply troubled that the amount of support to consumers would actually be about 60 percent of what is provided under the current law,'' Lee said.
Under the age-based subsidy structure, consumers purchasing the second-lowest-cost "silver" plan on the exchange would fare very differently, depending on whether they live in Los Angeles or San Francisco.
In Los Angeles, a 27-year-old earning $17,000 a year would see similar premiums after subsidies: $55 per month under the proposed law compared to $52 per month under the current law, Lee said. But if that same individual lives in San Francisco, his or her new net premium would be nearly four times higher — $199 per month —compared to $52 per month under the current law.
A 62-year-old Angelino earning $30,000 a year would see his or her net premium increase from $207 per month under the current law to $275 per month under the proposed law. If that person lived in San Francisco, his or her net premium would jump threefold from $209 per month to $668 per month, according to Covered California.
In much of Northern California, the cost of healthcare on average is 30 to 40 percent higher than in Southern California, where less consolidation has resulted in more competition, Lee said.
The CBO estimates that some Americans may end up paying less for premiums under the GOP bill. But the CBO said that's largely because many older consumers — who have higher medical costs, which increases premiums for everyone — would no longer be able to afford health plans. So the "risk pool" would be younger and healthier.
"Amazingly, the GOP proposal would lead to more uninsured Americans than there were prior to passage of the Affordable Care Act," said Anthony Wright, executive director of Health Access California, a consumer health care advocate group.
Tempers flared nationwide in October when the federal government announced that 2017 premiums for those who depend on the Affordable Care Act would increase by an average of 22 percent. But in California, the average premium increase was substantially less — 13.2 percent after two years of modest increases.
That's because the Golden State was the first to establish its own insurance exchange under Obamacare, giving California a huge head start and allowing it to negotiate directly with insurers to get the best rates, networks and benefits.
Since the 2010 law kicked into full gear in January 2014, at least 20 million Americans, including 5 million Californians, gained health coverage, most of them through a provision that expanded Medicaid — called Medi-Cal in California — to include adults without dependent children.
Of the estimated 1.5 million Californians who have signed up for a private health care plan this year through the state's insurance exchange, called Covered California, nearly 90 percent receive federal subsidies.
Most worrisome, Wright said, is the effect the GOP plan will have on the state's 14 million enrollees in Medi-Cal — almost one-third of the state's population and nearly half of Central Valley residents. The proposed law would end generous federal funding of both the Medicaid expansion program and Medicaid in general.
Cuts to Medicaid and other reductions would help the GOP legislation reduce federal deficits by $337 billion over the next decade, according to the CBO report.
Although some Republicans in Congress were backing away from Ryan's plan on Tuesday, not everyone who has supported it has thrown in the towel.
"I do not have a lot of confidence in CBO forecasts," said Sally Pipes, president and CEO of the San Francisco-based Pacific Research Institute, a think tank that promotes limited government. "I think it is greatly exaggerated."

Amish Vampires in Space by Kerry Nietz
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This is not a joke, this is a great book. A tribe of Amish living on a planet called Alabaster are in danger. Their sun is dying and they need evacuating. Jebediah Miller knows what to do. His family have a long-kept secret – a device they can use to call for help. He could save his people – but they may not thank him for it. Using technology is strictly forbidden by their rules – the ordnung. Meanwhile, the Starship Raven is about to take on some dangerous cargo. In it lies a terror that will threaten their lives.
This story is essentially about the clash of cultures. Even having Amish settled on another planet is interesting to begin with. Putting them on a spaceship brings a whole lot of interesting conflict. It was fascinating seeing each group of people from the other's perspective. In a way, having lived alone on their own world – away from any 'englisher' influence, has made these Amish even more wary of our ways, and less accepting of outsiders.
The vampires in this story were handled in a very science-fiction way. I loved the way they were portrayed. Their origins were nicely foreshadowed. These would have to be the coolest vampires I've come across. To say more would be to stay into spoiler territory.
This books examines a lot of issues and asks plenty of questions, while not imposing any answers. How far would you go to stay loyal to your convictions? Would you still remain pacifists even when blood-sucking monsters are trying to kill you and everyone you love? On the other hand, what if your refusal to take up arms means that somebody else has to risk their lives on your behalf?
The book was also quite a thrill ride. The tension kept building up and up until it was finally released
This book is a serious exploration of cultures, and scientific ethics and faith. I heartily recommend it.

A Cheap Guitar Is A Musician's Best Friend
Each musician and performer wants to look for a offer on his or her instrument, it really is to need to discover the best possible bang for your buck. Regrettably numerous songs websites and magazines are usually hesitant to present particular recommendations which guitars to get because they find it as a possible individual option. This post is designed to supply novices which has a no-nonsense break down associated with some of the best low cost electric guitars out there. The 1st device on my checklist is the Squier Fat Stratocaster, this kind of guitar does not is not only cost-effective, it may sound awesome as well. Squier are generally known for creating top quality affordable goods, they have a complete variety of outlines which could create excellent very first various guitars. Fat Strat looks and feels comparable to an actual Stratocaster, participants nonetheless reap the benefits of excellent playability and a flexible sculpt. This particular design really characteristics a single humbucking pick up along with two solitary coils, this really is perfect for rocking chairs looking to enjoy actually weighty licks,The actual Squier Excess fat Strat retails at around ?Over 100 ($200) which is one of the best starter's guitars in the marketplace. If you're looking for an inexpensive beginners guitar that has the complete package deal next the product is definitely to suit your needs. The other model on my own list will be the Epiphone G-310 SG. Should you be a greater portion of a rocker and also sense you need a little bit far more electrical power out of your device then this style is simply the point. The particular G-310 employs a couple of available coil nailers pickups that can enable you to get the hefty appear produced famous from the likes of AC/DC along with A2z tony Iommi. The best thing about by using a SG condition musical instrument is their playability, just about any musician that is ever played one of these simple babies may agree these tools make line rounding about a piece of cake along with their horned systems permit easy access towards the greater frets. In spite of the excellent playability and gratification the actual Epiphone SG310 is really a somewhat low cost electric guitar, it can be available on many online retailers as few as ?One hundred fifty ($230), it's a real bargain. The final model on my own the very least is possibly the very best of your almost all, no matter whether you're into good ole', indie and even gospel audio the actual Yamaha Pacifica 112V is right for the position. The actual Pacifica has remained one of several songs industry's top selling instruments down below ?2 hundred ($330) for many years today and yes it doesn't look like showing just about any warning signs of relenting. The actual Pacifica 112V has an alder body as well as a walnut throat detailed with rosewood fret table. This kind of product employs Alnico trucks; it characteristics A couple of one coil the other humbucking pick-ups. Yamaha get attempted to offer this specific distinctive line of equipment a modern classic seem causing them to be appropriate to play practically any type of audio. If you're searching for a low priced acoustic guitar that will provide you with limitless tonal opportunities for you to check out than the the 112V is certainly to suit your needs. Players seeking to grab a true quality acoustic guitar for cheap should browse the 112V Yamaha Pacifica, that they retail store for approximately ?200 ($300) online retailers. If you have the price range you may be in a position to buy the 212V product for an additional hundred, but that is a private personal preference. In summary, should you prefer a cheap electric guitar which you'll want to count on to obtain using your first preliminary decades actively playing your musical instrument; any of these types will probably be best. These directly into rock music might like the Epiphone SG 310 because of its twin humbucking pick-ups; these kinds of will definitely increase chance to them large rock licks. There are really located your thing or perhaps desire a device in order to test then I would advocate sometimes the 112V Pacifica or perhaps Squier Fat Strat.

What to Know When Filing a Mesothelioma ClaimLegal // November 4, 2016
Mesothelioma is an extremely deadly form of cancer caused by asbestos – there is no dispute about that. In the vast majority of cases, the asbestos exposure that eventually leads to mesothelioma tumors developing in the lining of the lungs, abdomen, or heart is caused by products that contain asbestos, or exposure in the asbestos supply chain including asbestos mining, transportation, and working with asbestos in factories.
Employees have a right to safety in the workplace, and consumers have a right to safety from the things they buy. As a result, companies that make asbestos products, or who require their employees to work with asbestos in raw form (such as mining or using it in a factory) or in the products they use (such as drywall, insulation, concrete, tiles, etc.) can be held responsible for this exposure.
Connect with Someone About the Mesothelioma Claim Process
Should I File a Mesothelioma Claim?
Before even filing a lawsuit, many people ask themselves whether they should sue the company responsible for their exposure. Often, people have a bad opinion about lawyers, lawsuits, and the "litigious society" that surrounds us today. But this view paints much too simple a picture.
The legal system is set up for one reason, and one reason only: to give justice to those who have been wronged. Like any system created by human beings, it is of course not perfect. However, when it comes to product liability issues such as asbestos exposure, it can give individuals who develop health problems (like mesothelioma) a way to pay for their medical expenses, lost income, and ongoing care.
The truth is, asbestos has been known to cause diseases for well over a hundred years – in fact, even the Ancient Greeks knew that asbestos was deadly. Yet companies have continued to use this dangerous substance, disregarding all medical and other evidence of its toxic nature. Even today, asbestos still is not banned, and it is still mined, imported, and used to manufacture a variety of products. Just in the past couple years, asbestos has been found in everything from typical products, like brakes and construction materials, to children's products like toy forensic kits and crayons.
The science and medicine are clear, and companies that have chosen to ignore the evidence that asbestos is a harmful substance should be held liable for their actions. However, the decision about whether to file a mesothelioma claim is ultimately up to the individual.
Step 1: Gather Diagnosis Details
In order to file a claim, you (or a loved one) first need a diagnosis of mesothelioma. Because mesothelioma is a rare disease and can often present symptoms similar to other diseases and conditions, this can mean months of testing – and even potentially misdiagnosis.
It's important to keep a good record of all the details surrounding your diagnosis. This includes details like:
- When you first started feeling symptoms
- What doctors you saw (primary care, cancer specialists, second opinions, etc.)
- What diagnostic tests were done
- Whether there were any other diagnoses or misdiagnoses
A lot of this information will be part of your health history, but you should include any relevant information that isn't part of your medical file as well. It is a good idea to keep a notebook or journal so that you can write down how you felt physically and emotionally, how the tests affected you, and notes about what the doctors told you.
Also, it is a good idea to have a trusted friend or family member go with you during diagnostic tests and when hearing the results. They may remember things that you forget, and may be able to help you understand what the doctor is telling you.
Step 2: Determine Where You Were Exposed to Asbestos
Given that asbestos was used so ubiquitously through the last century and a half (and longer), there are few places that are safe from the potential for asbestos exposure. Many buildings older than about 30 years are extremely likely to have asbestos in them. Also, there are products out there that even today still have asbestos.
The most at-risk individuals for mesothelioma are veterans who worked on ships, airplanes, or vehicles that contained asbestos (or had parts with asbestos in them) and industrial workers such as factory employees, construction workers, miners, and similar occupations in which asbestos played a major role.
However, there are many others who have developed mesothelioma due to exposure elsewhere – at home, school, or even in an office building – or who were exposed secondarily, such as by asbestos dust on the clothing of a loved one. Thinking through both where you worked and where your loved ones worked is a big part of finding out where your exposure may have happened. You may need to ask family members and friends who can help you remember the jobs you and your close relatives held and may have become exposed.
Step 3: Get Professional Legal Help
When you have a medical condition or disease such as mesothelioma, you want a doctor who is trained specifically in dealing with that condition or disease. In the same way, it is important to do your research and find a law firm that knows the laws, regulations, and case history around mesothelioma and can help you and your family receive compensation to pay bills and recover lost income, as applicable.
Part of the reason you need a good legal team is that there are a number of different options through which mesothelioma patients and their families can receive help. These include:
- Veterans' Affairs – The VA recognizes mesothelioma as a condition that is covered, depending on where you served and whether you were exposed to asbestos during your time of service. The VA can cover the full cost of treatment if you qualify.
- Asbestos Trust Funds – Many of the companies that used to make asbestos products have since gone bankrupt. However, as part of bankruptcy proceedings, they were forced to create trust funds to make payments to future victims of asbestos exposure. These funds are available to people who meet the trust fund criteria, depending on your work and exposure history.
- Multidistrict Litigation – Given the large number of people who have been diagnosed with health problems due to asbestos exposure, the U.S. court system has set up an efficient way for victims to receive compensation. You may be able to have your case transferred to an asbestos MDL, if the details of your exposure match those of the master complaint.
- Standalone Lawsuit – If the options above are not available to you, you still may be able to bring a legal claim against the company (or companies) that are responsible for your asbestos exposure.
Get Help Understanding Your Legal Options. Talk to Someone Today
Forget the late-night commercials and courtroom dramas that make everything seem scary and intense. Good lawyers will work with you and on your behalf to determine the best path to helping you receive compensation. They will also deal with any litigation and legal processes, giving you more time to focus on receiving treatment and recovering from your disease.

Insomnia Comorbid to Psychiatric Disorder | Sequenced Therapies for Comorbid and Primary Insomnias
Insomnia Comorbid to Psychiatric Disorder research study
What is the primary objective of this study?
Chronic insomnia is a prevalent disorder associated with increased health care costs, impaired functioning, and an increased risk for developing serious psychiatric disorders. Cognitive-behavioral therapies (CBTs) and benzodiazepine receptor agonist (BzRA) medications are the most widely supported approaches for insomnia management. Unfortunately, few studies have compared the psychological/behavioral therapies and BzRAs for insomnia treatment. Moreover, insomnia treatment studies have been limited by small, highly screened study samples, fixed-dose and fixed-agent pharmacotherapy strategies that do not represent usual adjustable dosing practices, relatively short follow-up intervals, and reliance on self-report or polysomnographic (PSG) sleep parameters as outcomes, rather than on more clinically relevant indicators of remission. Finally, studies have yet to test the benefits of treatment sequencing for those who do not respond to initial their insomnia therapy. This multi-site project will address these limitations. Two study sites will enroll a total of 224 participants who meet broad criteria for a chronic insomnia disorder, and a sizeable portion (60%) of this sample will have insomnia occurring comorbid to a psychiatric disorder. Participants will be evaluated with clinical assessments and PSG, and then will be randomly assigned to first-stage therapy with an easy-to-administer behavioral insomnia therapy (BT) or zolpidem (most widely prescribed BzRA). Centrally trained therapists will administer therapies according to manualized, albeit flexible, treatment algorithms. Initial outcomes will be assessed after 6 weeks, and treatment remitters will be followed for the next 12 months on maintenance therapy. Those not achieving remission will be offered re-randomization to a second, 6-week treatment involving pharmacotherapy (zolpidem or trazodone) or psychological therapy (BT or cognitive therapy-CT). All participants will be re-evaluated 12 weeks after protocol initiation, and at 3-, 6-, 9-, and 12-month follow-ups while continuing their final treatment. Insomnia remission, defined categorically as a score < 8 on the Insomnia Severity Index, will serve as the primary outcome for treatment comparisons. Secondary outcomes will include sleep diary and PSG sleep measures; subjective ratings of sleep and daytime function; adverse events; dropout rates; and treatment acceptability. Our over-arching goal is to obtain new information that aids in the development of clinical guidelines for managing insomnia sufferers with and without comorbid psychiatric conditions.
Who is eligible to participate?
Inclusion Criteria: - a complaint of persistent (i.e., > 1 month) difficulties initiating or maintaining sleep despite adequate opportunity for sleep; - a sleep onset latency or wake time after sleep onset > 30 minutes 3 or more nights per week during two weeks sleep diary monitoring; - an Insomnia Severity Index (ISI) score > 10 indicating at least \"mild\" insomnia; and - a score ≥ 2 on either the interference or distress item of the screening ISI, indicating the insomnia causes significant distress or impairment in social, occupational, or other areas of functioning. These criteria represent those provided in the DSM-IV-TR87, Research Diagnostic Criteria3 and the International Classification of Sleep Disorders4, and will ensure a sample with clinically relevant insomnia. Exclusion Criteria: Exclusion criteria will be minimal to retain a broadly representative sample that includes patients with primary and insomnia comorbid to a psychiatric disorder. Likewise, individuals with a comorbid medical condition will be excluded only if the medical condition is life-threatening or would contra-indicate using study medications. Exclusion criteria are - an untreated psychiatric disorder (e.g., major depression) as these conditions have specific treatments and it would be inappropriate not to offer those treatments; - a lifetime diagnosis of any psychotic or bipolar disorder as sleep restriction and medications for insomnia may precipitate mania and hallucinations; - an imminent risk for suicide; - alcohol or drug abuse within the past year, since BzRAs are cross-tolerant with alcohol; - terminal or progressive physical illness (e.g., cancer, COPD), or neurological degenerative disease (e.g., dementia); - current use of medications known to cause insomnia (e.g., steroids); - sleep apnea (apnea/hypopnea index > 15), restless legs syndrome, periodic limb movement during sleep (PLMS with arousal > 15 per hour), or a circadian rhythm sleep disorder (e.g., advanced sleep phase syndrome); - habitual bedtimes later than 2:00 AM or rising times later than 10:00 AM; - consuming > 2 alcoholic beverages per day on a regular basis. Individuals using sleep-aids (prescribed or over-the-counter) will be included if they are willing and able to discontinue medications at least 2 weeks before baseline assessment. Participants using alcohol as a sleep aid or alcohol after 7:00pm on a regular basis will be required to discontinue this practice at least two weeks prior to baseline assessment. Individuals using psychotropic medications (e.g., anxiolytics, antidepressants) will not be automatically excluded from the study. Those on stable dosages (for at least three months) of SSRI or SNRI medications and who show at least partial remission (via SCID) from their mood or anxiety disorder will be accepted in the study if they meet the selection criteria above. Patients using TCAs, MAOIs, or atypical antidepressants will be excluded even if in remission as the effects of these medications on sleep might confound interpretation of the findings. We will impose similar standards for those with MDD, dysthymia, panic disorder, phobia, and GAD. We realize that some decisions about enrollment may not always be easy to make, but we will rely on all available data and a consensus approach to guide our clinical decision making process

Pak university student killed, another injured for alleged blasphemy
| Updated: Aug 23, 2017 11:20 IST
Mardan (Khyber Pakhtunkhwa) [Pakistan], Apr 13 (ANI): A journalism student was shot dead by fellow students and another seriously injured at Abdul Wali Khan University (AWKU) in Mardan on Thursday after being accused of blasphemy. According to The Express Tribune, the deceased has been identified as Mashal Khan, a student at AWKU's Journalism and Mass Communication department and according to an eyewitness a mob of agitated students first shot him in the head and chest and then desecrated his body using sticks. Mardan DSP Sheikh Maltun Mardan Haider Khan confirmed to that the victim had been murdered by his fellow students. He added that five students were injured in clashes but police managed to bring the situation under control. He said 35 students have been arrested. The body has been shifted to District Headquarters Hospital for an autopsy. A case is yet to be registered. According to a report in the Dawn, the eyewitness said a mob of university students first surrounded Abdullah and forced him to recite verses from the Holy Quran. Although he repeatedly denied the accusation that he was an Ahmadi, the students beat him nonetheless. The police, when alerted, reached the site of the attack and rescued Abdullah, after which the mob set its sights on Mashal, who was in the hostel at the time. University administration official Fayaz Ali Shah confirmed that the mob of students had accused Mashal of blasphemy before killing him. (ANI)

"Bird in the Sky"
Satellite Communications
Bird In The Sky Communications wants to educate, update and be an information location for all things involving satellite communications.
Did you know that during Hurricane Katrina, cell phones stopped working because cellular networks were overwhelmed? Did you know that during 9/11, the greatest terrorist attack on our nation in generations, the emergency response system touted by federal officials and tested repeatedly on our nation's airwaves failed to sound off.
"Iridium phones are the only handsets that can be used in absolutely any location, in any condition, instead of cellular, landline or radio services that can become inoperable when towers go down or telecommunication infrastructures are compromised."
Never risk being out of touch again. In a flood, fire, earthquake, tornado and any other natural disaster, protect your family, your safety and your property with a satellite telephone. Used reliably worldwide by foreign correspondents, The Department of Defense and outdoor adventurers, a satellite phone will insure that no matter what natural or man-made disaster is unfolding all around you, you will be able to take care of your loved ones. In an uncertain world, you can't rely on anybody but yourself.
For the past 20+ years I was an Operations Manager at The Los Angeles Times. I have helped with coverage on all major news stories and in every instance the need was the same; communication. Whether it was earthquakes, fires or floods in California to news events in every part of the world, I found ways for Reporters and Photographers to communicate back to the News Desk.
Communication Trends
We have been following a consistent trend in communication for the past 20 years; everything is going up. When I started in this business the communication system was the pager, we all remember those. Well from the simple beep to now the Blackberry we have continued that trend towards 'upward' mobility with our communication.
We, like everyone else then moved to the cellular phone. (which by the way just recently celebrated its 25 year anniversary). We all got them at first as "emergency phones". We put them in our cars and used them only if we had to. Again the mobility of the signal is moving upward. We are now off the land based line and the mountain top line of site to the cellular tower. We now have thousands of them across the country. Well this was an obvious improvement to land lines, pagers and two-way radios, but the cellular system has major deficiencies. They are still connected to land.
So as you make your cellular calls and your signal is literally following you across town and hopping from tower to tower or 'fake palm tree' to building towers, everything seems to be okay. However, we still have one major issue: we are still tied down to the most volatile land mass in existence; earth.
Again, during our earthquakes, fires, floods, tornado's, hurricanes, man made and natural disasters of all types, our cellular 'communication' network is susceptible to major infrastructure failure. Not to mention the thousands of callers who are tying to make a call on this overused (and possibly underwater or under a building) cellular antennae.
The Next Course of Action
Again the answer is to go up. Many of us think that our cellular calls go somewhere 'up high' when we are calling long distance. Nope, they bounce across the country from infrastructure to infrastructure. If they do go up to take a major leap across a large land mass they will always come back down to a susceptible land based tower.
To make a long story short, the only obvious answer to our communication needs, and the absolute communication guarantee is to get the signal off the ground and have it go straight up to a satellite. These satellite's (or birds) have been flying around in low orbit for many years. Well now we have 66 of these birds dedicated to the Iridium satellite phone service (and more to follow). So with these 'Birds In The Sky' we can get a call out to anyone, anywhere around the world at any time. The signal is not impeded at all by the weak infrastructure on the ground. If you can stand out and see the sky you have communication peace of mind.
Yes, this means anywhere you go in the world. You have 'Communication Peace of Mind' Whether you are taking the kids hiking, going on a mountain bike ride, traveling across the desert or mountains or even going on a simple 'three hour cruise' you always have the birds in the sky with you and your Iridium phone will provide your communication.
Oh and back to the top of the story, whenever a Reporter or Photographer had to have guaranteed communication anywhere in the world, we had them use a satellite phone......

DAN'S JOURNEY: Interview with Dan Fraga
Dan Fraga is one of the popular comic artists that started in the American industry back in the 1990's, during the golden days of Image comics.
With a wide range of work that includes CGI based comics and different styles and themes that vary from traditional super-hero slugfests to radical Sci-Fi scenarios, he is now working in regular basis for the Big Two, Marvel and DC Comics, but is plenty of plans for the future.
Here he will talk about his early days, his works for Rob Liefeld and his literary influences, that include Joseph Campbell and William Gibson.
With you, Dan Fraga!
">Octavio Aragão – Hi, Dan! Good to have you here! First of all, please, can you talk a little about your career? How did you begin in the comics industry?
Dan Fraga – When I was 13 I decided I wanted to be a comic book artist. 1986 was the year and THE DARK KNIGHT RETURNS was the book. I know that I don't have to elaborate, because so many people feel the way I do about THE DARK KNIGHT.
In 1988 I got to see my first comic convention. It was Wonder-Con #2. I got to meet so many creators at that show. Arthur Adams, Bob Shreck, Larry Marder, Michael Kaluta, Sergio Aragones , Erik Larsen, and Ron Lim... it was amazing. It was at that show that I was certain that I wanted to draw comics. In 1988 I made my first zine, it was called CHESSKNIGHT VIEWS. It featured an interview with the great Carl Potts. That interview is still one of the best pieces of advice for aspiring comic book artists. Carl knows his stuff.
In 1989 I went to another convention where I met Rob Liefeld for the first time. The dude was really cool. He was one of the few creators who really seemed to care when he gave you a critique of your work. He'd suggest books and artists and was really specific with his advice. I found that to be very encouraging and refreshing. Most of the time I'd show my work and get replies from the editor that sounded exactly the same as the one he gave the ten guys who showed their work before me. Rob's advice was really tailored for the person he was critiquing. I was a really grateful for his time and for his attention to my work.
My buddy Mike, who went to the show with me, bought a sketch from Rob that was drawn on the back of his personal stationary. It had Rob's number and address on it. I took that opportunity and called Rob that following week to thank him for his time. He was gracious and took my call and was really cool about a stranger calling his house. I started sending him more of my pages and drawings as I'd get them done. I'd send a fax daily when I was on lunch break in high school. I was a pest. Seriously.
That's when I got to meet Marat Mychaels. He was Rob's assistant at the time. Marat and I became friends over the phone and used to talk shop all of the time. We were about the craft. Every aspect of it. It was a really cool time to be into comics. The time before Image Comics happened, 1991, I had just graduated from High School and I was walking into the new exhibition hall for the San Diego Comic-Con. T2 opened that weekend. Man, it was cool. I ran into Rob and Marat and they had told me how they were going to start a comic studio and wanted to tell me about it. This was the first time I had heard about what would later become Extreme Studios.
This wasn't the only excited news that I had heard at that show. I had done samples for the show and I had shown them to DC comics editors Neil Pozner and Brian Augustyn. They were so pleased with the samples that they gave me a tryout story. It was the one they gave to guys that showed potential, the JLA carnival story. I sent in my pages and I hadn't heard anything back. I was a little discouraged but I still kept plugging away and inquiring with both DC and Rob about a job. In February of 1992 I got that break. Rob Liefeld had asked me to join Extreme Studios.
OA – What was your favorite gig till today?
DF – I liked KID SUPREME.
OA – As we can see through your work in GEAR STATION, you are an enthusiast of the possibilities of CGI Comics. Do you believe that the Internet - with the web comics - could be the answer to the industry?
DF – No. I think the industry is in a time of healing from the abuse it had in the 90's and is on it's way to full recovery. CGI is a tool, and that's it. It all comes down to the story and art.
OA – Personally, I think GEAR STATION was your best work to date, with lots of great backgrounds and an interesting character design. Why do you put it aside and went back to the majors? It wasn't worth the effort?
DF – Low sales. I was going broke, working 16 hour days. I have a wife and a mortgage. I had to do something.
OA – You are a great fan of Sci-Fi and Fantasy, such as Star Wars and Lord of The Rings. I even can notice a heavy influence of the SW narrative structure in GEAR STATION. Do you also read Science Fiction and/or Fantasy? Or your basic influences are movies?
DF – I actually got the structure from Joseph Campbell's A HERO'S JOURNEY. I like movies and Sci-Fi novels. Especially William Gibson.
OA – Ok, let's talk about the future. How do you see the future of American Comics and what's your plan for the next years?
DF – American Comics are maturing. Almost too much. I think they are going to snap back to the more exciting fun stories. Jim Lee's Batman is the herald for this. My plans are DARWIN LIGHTWING and doing the best work I can.

Quantos livros a série iniciada por A Mão Que Cria terá ?

- Octavio Aragão disse...
Olá, Leonardo.
A princípio, o projeto era apenas uma "duologia", mas a parte dedicada ao século 19 de A Mão Que Pune ficou muito grande e virou um livro independente, subtitulado como "1890". O resto, porém, devem ser um conto ambientado na Primeira Guerra Mundial, durante a batalha marítma turbinada pelos submarinos franceses, e um possível terceiro romance, contando o que aconteceu depois de A Mão Que Cria.

Dao350.dll PC Error Solution
Data Access Objects (DAO) version 3.5 was developed as an upgrade of the object model through which developers create data access solutions.
In this version, the DLL dao350.dll file extends the functionality of the Object library so that developers can build custom Microsoft Office solutions. It implements a new client/server connection code, known as ODBCDirect. This code allows for direct Open Database Connectivity. The dao350.dll file as an access method handles this code.
Using this code, high-speed server-side access can be directly executed to an ODBC-compliant database even without loading the Microsoft Jet database engine into random access memory. In incorporating this new feature Microsoft aims to make the Data Object library a module that can provide a powerful framework for calling Microsoft Jet functions from the system's programming code.
The functions offered by the dao350.dll module enables developers to build custom Microsoft Office solutions using familiar DAO syntax while taking advantage of other functionalities such as asynchronous data access. By utilizing the asynchronous data access feature of DAO 3.5, users can leave the server independently to process their queries.
Contained in the dao350.dll module are objects and collections that are called when implementing Data Objects in database. These are:
– DBEngine object
– Workspace object and Workspaces collections
– Error object and Errors collection
– Database object and Databases collection
– TableDef object and TableDefs collection
– Field object and Fields collection
– Index object and Indexes collection
– QueryDef object and QueryDefs collection
– Parameter object and Parameters collection
– Relation object and Relations collection
– Recordset object and Recordsets collection
– Group object and Groups collections
– User object and Users collection
– Container object and Containers collection
– Document object and Documents collection
– Properties collection
When using Microsoft Excel for database building, it is necessary to first reference the DAO 3.5 Object Library contained in the dao350.dll file before data access objects can used. If the user prefers not to create a reference to the dao350.dll file, he can use object linking and embedding (OLE) instead to create a database engine object.
Dao350.dll is created by:
Microsoft Corporation
Microsoft Support site
Known file path:
C:\ Program Files\ Common Files\ Microsoft Shared\ DAO\ dao350.dll
What is a DLL?
Your operating system comes pre-installed with Microsoft DLL's and most third party programs also install DLL's.
DLL (Dynamic Link Library) is Microsoft's implementation of the shared library concept. Meaning there's a DLL library on your computer and each DLL can be shared among different Microsoft and third party programs. This shared library method helps your computer run faster by having fewer operations running at the same time.
When a DLL is missing or corrupt it may show an error message and programs may fail or crash.
Because DLL's are shared, one missing or corrupt DLL may affect multiple programs on your computer.
We Guarantee To Solve Your Dao350.dll Problems
SpeedZooka detects missing or corrupt Microsoft DLL's like dao350.dll and will replace it with a fresh working version. Download SpeedZooka below and run a DLL scan of your PC!
