The announcement that She-Hulk will be the the main character in an upcoming Hulk series from Marvel, written by Mariko Tamaki with art from Nico Leon, has caused only the latest uncalled for burst of outrage over comics being comics. Will the comic book community ever stop being so close minded? Or is the outrage coming from those who don't even comics?
Internet Nerd Rage? No Way!
While browsing my Facebook feed one night, I stumbled upon an article about the "new" Hulk for Marvel Comics. The article was a complete waste of time and could have been summed up in a single sentence: She-Hulk takes over for upcoming Hulk series. But that's not what's important.
I noticed the high volume of comments piling up on the article and decided to dive in. What I found was a large amount of hate for Marvel, She-Hulk, women, progress, change, and creativity. Now, I'm no activist of any sort, I just really love comic books and pop culture. However, these comments were too much for me to keep my mouth shut. I'm also not saying I expected to find nothing but love for Marvel's new Hulk, but I certainly didn't expect over 75% of the comments to sound like Donald Trump talking about the status of superhero comics.
In Marvel, I Trust
Marvel has recently taken huge steps forward in having their heroes represent groups and genders in a progressive way that reflects these modern times. I'm not here to discuss the politics. I'm not here to shave my head and cry "LEAVE MARVEL ALONE!" I'm just hear to politely ask those in outrage to please quiet down and get over themselves.
Jennifer Walters, She-Hulk, taking over as the main character in Marvel's new Hulk series – coming out after the post-Civil War II "relaunch" – makes total sense. Bruce Banner is [SPOILER] currently dead due to the events of Civil War II (which, being comics, won't last forever). Jennifer is his gamma-powered, superhero, cousin-Hulk who's been around since 1980 – so what's the big deal? Do you think replacing lead characters is a new trend in comic books? Did you just start reading them? If so, why are you so upset about Hulk like he's been a relevant character recently? Walters has put her time in as a character and deserves a shot at the spotlight, and so do fans.
My theory is this outrage, similarly to the outrage over Captain America and "Hail Hydra", is coming from people who aren't even reading comic books. These are people taking any chance they can possibly get to spew out the sexism and racism they can't share at work. Y'know, the INTERNET. Like most places on Earth, the loudest voices in the complaint department are the least informed.
If people are really upset that Bruce Banner is dead and the precious mantle of "monster everybody hates" is being passed on, maybe they should have been buying Hulk comics before Marvel decided they needed a shake-up. But I don't think that's really the problem. I'm willing to bet that majority of people complaining about a race or gender change to a title's lead character haven't been reading the books for a very long time.
What Are You Worried About Ruining?
For those of you who are active readers in the comic book community, what exactly about the Hulk legacy is going to be ruined? What does the Hulk even stand for other than destruction and other monster qualifying attributes?
Captain America is a living symbol for freedom and the strength of the common man. The mantle of The Mighty Thor can only be passed on to he or she that be worthy of the almighty power. Spider-Man stands for the kid who can never seem to catch a break and finds a positive in everything. The Incredible Hulk, however, is a menace in the public eye and a rage monster that at any moment could destroy and ruin everything on Earth (even when he's a "smart-Hulk").
Jennifer Walters is not only a completely coherent and humanistic hero as a Hulk, but is even a defense lawyer by day! At the very least, that alone may promise a Hulk story about more than a scientist trying to find a cure for his condition (which Amadeus Cho has found already).
I don't know exactly what Marvel plans for the series, but Jennifer stepping in and maybe changing the public opinion of the Hulk is a promising premise. Perhaps Walters finds a way to make the Hulk stand for something worth looking up to? Or inspires people to think differently about what a Hulk is or can be? When the dust settles following the Civil War-ing, what place will a Hulk have in the superhero landscape?
How many Bruce Banner Hulk stories do we really need? Readers can't keep being fed the same stories over and over again without feeling fatigued. Marvel is well aware of what sells and what does not sell at comic book shops, they know fans want character evolution and progression. And for those of you who do not? There are decades worth of green rage monster stories for you to read at very affordable costs and in every format available.
Let The Art Speak For Itself
My next point is the most important: Be as pre-judgy as you want about all the wacky announcements that comic book publishers make, but let the art speak for itself. Despite all the negative press and commentary you may find, Marvel's recent track record for a change like this is pretty strong.
I didn't know how Thor would turn out with a leading lady, and was pleasantly surprised by how incredibly well-written and interesting the series has been. Remember when people were mad about there being a black Spider-Man? Miles Morales has been one of the most popular and beloved comic book heroes to come out in decades. All-New Wolverine, Captain America: Sam Wilson, Ms. Marvel, Spider-Man, Totally Awesome Hulk, and The Mighty Thor have all been (for the most part) interesting and exciting series.
Give these books a chance, don't write them off simply because they are different. Generally, Marvel wants to put out compelling comics that fans want to read and not just shock-value cash-grabs (there's not a lot of money in this industry to begin with). The creative teams behind these comics deserve to be given a shot at telling these stories; and readers deserve to be served fresh story ideas and taken places they have not gone to before.
Marvel, You Do You
My hope is that Marvel, in this social age, will not listen to the idiots jumping to hateful conclusions. Marvel should not be demonized for having new ideas, they should only receive negativity when they put out crappy comic books. The company's creative decisions should be in response to its readers, not internet assholes who aren't buying their comic books in the first place. My message to Marvel Comics is this: you do you baby girl, I got you.
For the people out there who want to remain a useless, negative force, yelling into the internet void about your pent up aggression towards some sort of past rejection – nobody cares. You're no different than the scumbags in X-Men comics holding a "KILL ALL MUTIES" sign and spitting at little mutant kids just because they're different and times are changing.
If you really MUST have a male Hulk in your comics, pipe down and read Totally Awesome Hulk.

New Year
2012 is now designated as memory and I'm looking forward to the changes and adaptions that 2013 will bring to me and my family.
I have to confess, I am surprised I survived 2012 since it had such an incredibly chaotic beginning- mixed with negative and positive life changes from the very get go. I've learned to let go of a lot of the family politics I was struggling with, all though it took me up until the end of the summer to do so! I also learned I need to make the choices in life that are good for me- if they are healthy for me, they either are, or will be, healthy for the family and friends they impact.
That being said, some major highlights of this last year include the various stages of wedding planning I went through- from shrugging it off, to over planning, to coming to grips with the reality that I do not want nor do I need a white washed wedding staged to the standards of modern society. Yep, we still want our special day and we still want our loved ones to be there and for it to be beautiful, but not at the expence of our sanity, contentment or wallets! After all, isn't the reason you have a ceremony and reception so that you can invite your loved ones to participate and encourage you in your commitment to your partner (and for many to their spiritual head- I fall into this category but not all do :) ).
I feel like many of the people and relationships I was apart of have dulled. They have not ended, but I feel a strong disconnect to many people. This is not a negative- I know that I can still turn to them regardless of distance when I need, and it's nice to do that every once and again but sometimes distance can also sweeten those moments of catch up. It is also a sign that I do need to let go and move one. This summer I was supposed to move but it was met with many negative remarks and very little help or support from many of the most important people in my life. We - together as a couple - have a plan now, and one that is being held in denial by most people but that still is recieving support.
Move to northern BC where he has a cousin that will help us in establishing ourselves there. From what we've researched and been told, there are plenty of opportunities. Fingers crossed. Even if there isn't, it can't be worse than where we are and we can guarantee we will both be able to find work there anyways, if not in the fields we are hoping. When we go, we are leaving enough cash behind in an account here for emergency tickets home. This is important to me incase something happens- an emergency in one of our families, or out there something bad happens and we need to come home.
Hopefully this is the plan we will see come true this year, but if not, then next. It will happen, but hopefully it happens quickly now that we have a place firmly in mind and committed to. If we leave when planned, we will be returning home, taking a week or two in May to be home. This is important because a friend and I are planning a masquerade for Thursday May 23rd. (Keep that day open my friends for it! ) among other events. I suspect we will be bussing for this, so I am expecting we will be home for a week, but on the move for two. If, somehow, we have managed to get all our bills paid and have enough in savings for the flights, then hopefully we will be able to take that option.

Why do you both not make plans here around your family and friends who all Love you, jobs can be found here and moving forward to reap your rewards with positive outlook , Love Uncle JerryReplyDelete
Hey uncle Jerry, no there aren't the kind of jobs available here that we can get there, and I don't want to make plans around my family and have almost no friends left living in Ontario at all, and the ones that are here are planning on leaving ASAP as well. Unfortunately I don't feel comfortable in Collingwood, and it has been made increasingly clear by family as well, that should I move anywhere outside of CWood I won't be welcome to be a part of their lives anymore. They also have far too many judgements on me and my life and relationship- and vice versa for him as well. My sole goal for as long as I can remember has been get as far away from home as I possibly can.ReplyDelete

Kyla I hate to think that ANY of your family has told you that you wouldn't be welcome to be part of there lives anymore. I understand growing up and making decisions for yourself but I hope you consider how hard it is to be that far away from family who does love you and only wants the best for you. Love you, Aunt DebbieReplyDelete

This is a sponsored post by Nuffnang and Sunsol.
After almost a month of travelling and buffet breakfasts, it's time to get back to basics with our nutrition. I would be quite happy not to even catch a whiff of a pancake, waffle or cinnamon french toast again for at least a month or two.
But breakfast basics doesn't have to be bland and boring. In fact, breakfast is one of my favourite meals and it's the best start to my day.
Muesli is oats exotic best friend.
Most of us don't have time to spend an hour or two cooking up a storm in the mornings and that's why something simple like a bowl of muesli is well simply perfect.
Sunsol has recently launched their new range of natural style muesli which are low in fat, sugars, sodium and a good source of dietary fibre. Best of all, they're nutrient rich.
What does this mean?
Each muesli packet contains 10+ ingredients ranging from coconut, almonds, blueberries, raisins, cashews, puffed rice, apples, macadamia, cranberries, chia etc depending on which range you choose. And with prices starting from just $5.29 why would bother spending hours in the kitchen crafting your own blend of muesli?!
My favourite is the orchard fruits & almonds
HB loves the ancient grains and superfruits blend and he makes it into overnight oats.
The night before he uses a 1:1 ratio with almond milk and in the morning he just has to grab it and go. Creamy, delicious heaven which keeps him going until lunchtime. Top with your favourite fresh or frozen berries in the morning and hey presto – easiest breakfast ever!
Maggie is also a big fan and she even loves to eat it as a trail mix. Strange kid!
A sure fire sign that it is great tasting if a three-year-old will happily munch away. This makes snacks on the go super easy for me, I just pop some in a zip lock bag and out the door we go. The Sunsol muesli bags are resealable which keeps everything fresh and delicious.
So if you're into nuts, fruits or grains don't worry there is a perfect blend just waiting for you.

I have a pretty little card for you today with this sweet little ballerina from Stamping Boutique called 'Rose'
The April challenge is to use a favorite color combination. I have never been a big fan of pinks but this coral-ish pink has been added to my list lately and works perfectly with this color od green cardstock that I used for the base.
The base cardstock is of course from Paper Temptress and is called 'jelly bean green' and of course I used my all time favorite for coloring for the main image – 'cryogen white'. I colored her with prismacolor and polychrome pencils and edged the image panel with a gold metallic pen.
All for me today – off to work today per usual 🙂

To see what models of used Folding Camper are available from Camperlands please go to our Used Stock Page
For trailer tent brochures and enquiries either call 0161-902-3020 (closed Wednesdays), e-mail or request a brochure
Trailer tents, folding campers and the Camp-let have grown in popularity in recent years and it is not hard to see why. Boasting higher levels of comfort than the current camping tent, whilst still preserving the joys of the great outdoors, the folding camper, Camp-let and trailer tent is a particular favourite among those who have previously owned caravans and motorhomes.
A step down you may think, yet every year, more and more people are waking up to the idea, that trailer tents, folding campers and Camp-lets can offer genuine advantages over the more luxurious caravan and motorhome.
Offering the customer an unrivalled camping experience, which does away with the time and cost involved in running and maintaining a caravan or motorhome. Trailer tents and folding campers can provide a very reasonable level of comfort at a fraction of the cost of a caravan or motorhome and what's more, they are also easier to tow, use less fuel and require far less storage space. Praised for the fact that devaluation figures are much easier on the back pocket.
Here at Camperlands we pride ourselves on being the biggest trailer tent retailer in the UK, dedicated to displaying and demonstrating a comprehensive selection of new and used stock. Our trailer tent and folding camper stock includes many of the popular models that can be bought from camping outlets up and down the country. We are extremely pleased to be in a position to offer trailer tents, which cannot be found anywhere else in the UK and we are also the sole UK distributors for many top European manufacturers including Trekky Campers, Camplair, CampMaster, Camp-let and have in stock specially designed trailer tents from Trigano. Trailer tents can accommodate between two and eight people and are ideal for fun family and group holidays.
Similar to trailer tents but not as popular due to the towing size and general handling, folding campers make use of an enlarged chassis that can be as long as an 18ft caravan when erected. The larger size allows for the inclusion of features more commonly found on in caravans and motorhome's such as, 12v and 240v electrics, fitted fridges, heaters and cassette toilets, ovens, water heaters and sink and drainers.
The benefits of folding campers,when compared to caravans become evident when the folding camper is folded down such as, reduced height and length, which makes towing and storage much easier. The gross weight of a folding camper can be up to 50 per-cent less than some caravans. Folding campers require no pegging and take about 5-10 minutes to fully erect. Comfortable accommodation is provided for 4-6 people but this can be extended to 10 by utilising the awning and bedroom extensions.

WPL magazine downloads available; free music, languages coming soon
By PAULENE
A new downloadable, free magazine-subscription service now is available
through Westchester Public Library's website.
In the first 10 days, library director Phil Baugher told the Library Board
on Thursday, 51 users had downloaded 356 magazines chosen from the 150
electronic versions of popular magazines.
Increasingly, some magazines like Newsweek are going to online publication
Library patrons with a valid library card are required to login with the
ZINIO magazine service the first time and thereafter each new issue of the
selected periodicals automatically will be downloaded to the patron's
computer or portable device, or an email notice can be received to signal an
issue's ready to be delivered.
Baugher said each magazine will keep its place where the patron stopped
reading, and articles can be exported or printed. "We've had all kinds of
calls from library directors in the area (about the service)," he told the
WPL will continue to carry hard-copy versions of magazines, newspapers and
publications in its reading room.
Baugher noted it's taking longer than expected but WPL is working with a
vendor to add the Freegal music library and Rocket Languages databases to
the website as well. "I think (Freegal's) going to be a hit once the kids
know about it," said Library Board president Drew Rhed.
Baugher reminded that for younger children, the Tumblebooks link on the WPL
website requires no login and offers many fun and educational activities.
Thursday's three-hour meeting saw the Library Board authorize spending
$28,118 for new display cases, AV equipment and exhibit panels for the WPL-operated
Westchester Township History Museum in the Brown Mansion. Curator Serena
Sutliff's year-end 2012 report showed 4,200 visitors and program attendees
compared to 3,842 in 2011.
A second phase of museum improvement, not yet OK'd, would be removing some
walls in the exhibit areas to configure the space better, but that will
require input and approval from the Duneland School Corp., from which WPL
leases the Brown Mansion. The exhibit area is in a later addition and is not
part of the historic home itself.
Baugher said the library should pay for the remodeling and he will consult
with a structural professional and Duneland before bringing a firm proposal.
He also plans to meet with an architect about remodeling the Hageman
Library's restrooms in Porter to make them handicapped accessible this year.
Restrooms in Thomas Library and the Library Service Center were upgraded
On another matter, board members warmly received Baugher's proposal to have
custom banners promoting the library properties installed on the
approximately 15 WPL-owned light poles at those sites. Banner design and
purchase costs will be developed.
Community volunteers have until Jan. 23 to sign up at WPL for each to find
people who like to read and help distribute 20 free copies of various recent
books to celebrate World Book Night on April 23.
Two upcoming Library Board vacancies need to be filled in March; members
will meet in two weeks to interview the first candidates. Additional
applications still will be received.
By unanimous vote the Library Board adopted a new meeting-room policy that
clarifies all activities by groups that use the rooms must be free and open
for the public to observe, but not to automatically participate in the
activity, address the group, disrupt the meeting, take group materials or
share their meals or refreshments.
At the meeting's conclusion the board reconvened as a Board of Finance and
for most of the hour debated whether it should continue having Baugher
invest surplus funds or hire a financial expert; last month Umbaugh &
Associates made a presentation about investment strategies.
WPL has $7.8 million in all funds with about $6 million available for
investment; the money is being retained to help pay for future expansion of
library facilities and reduce needed financing at that time.
Baugher said in 2008 investments made $136,055 in interest but last year due
to the economy only $3,471 although a CD matured this month gaining $38,148.
The focus of the discussion was not so much to maximize WPL's yield but to
protect the money while invested in the event a bank would fold. WPL
attorney Terry Hiestand said if there's so much as a wrinkle in the market a
financial advisor could make adjustments immediately. Baugher agreed he
doesn't have the expertise or ability to do so.
The eventual decision was to have him invest the excess funds for three
months, continue talks with Umbaugh without obligation, and to readopt the
current investment policy for now.

H is for.....HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!
That's right!! Today is Sweet Girl's 2nd birthday!! What a perfect week for letter H!!
This is our sensory bin for the letter H. It contains: capital H's, a horn, a hamburger, two hippos, a bunch of heart buttons, heart eraser and a horse.
I saw this idea over at I Can Teach My Child and thought it would be great for our letter H week. It was sooooo simple to make and is such a great learning tool. The door and windows lift and underneath is a picture that begins with the letter H sound (the hearts are pictured on the right side).
For this activity, Sweet Girl will use the different "sticks" to build a letter H. The "sticks" are popsicle sticks, cocktail stirrers and pieces of paper.
What do you hear?
I printed out the sheet above with different pictures of things that begin with the letter H. Then I found sound clips of all the different objects. I plan on giving Sweet Girl the pictures, playing the sounds for her and having her guess which one it is. We haven't tried any listening skills games yet, but I think it will be fun!
And of course, there will be LOTS of "Happy Birthday" singing to Sweet Girl today!!!
Check back on Friday to see our letter H crafts!!

|Bulgaria Ratifies Tax Treaty with Switzerland
Ratification is still pending in Switzerland and the treaty is expected to come into effect for both countries on 1 January 2014
The Bulgarian Parliament ratified a new double taxation treaty between Bulgaria and Switzerland on 26 February 2013.
The treaty provides for a withholding tax exemption on dividends for entities with a minimum 10% holding in the capital of the distributing entity maintained for at least one year prior to distribution. A reduced 10% withholding tax on dividends will apply in all other cases.
In addition, there is an exemption from withholding tax on interest payments between affiliated companies, i.e., if one owns at least 10% of the capital in the other or a third company owns at least 10% of the capital of both companies for at least one year prior to the interest payment. A reduced 5% withholding tax will apply in all other cases.
A refund of withholding tax paid on interest and dividends will be granted retroactively whenever the one-year holding period requirement is met.
Under the treaty, the participation exemption will not be allowed if the income recipient is a conduit company. The definition of a conduit company is also set forth in the protocol.
The opinions expressed do not constitute investment advice and specialist advice should be sought about your specific circumstances.

The sad truth is that most of the people that work at the Amazon distribution sites are Red State voters. Amazon pulls from the RV Retiree set (big Repub stronghold) and blue collar laborers (also mostly conservative, though that means Dem as often as Repub in the South, but almost always Repub in the North, unless they are in a union, which Amazon would never allow.)
So I see less leverage here than you imply.

You fail to understand the investment - this is for a HQ building. Educated workers which is a strong liberal base & many will be imported from existing staff. Any state from Indiana on down would likely be flipped by this one decision.

Calving season improved from last year's woes
By Michael Johnson, Editor
It's that time of year when the ground turns to mush and area beef cattle numbers start to double as calving season begins. Though a hot sun may be desired by some, area ranchers are enjoying far better conditions this year than last. Mark Giedd, of the Giedd Cattle Company, north of Washburn, said that this year's calving season may not be perfect but it's 100 percent better than last year. Last year, drifts took over pens, water covered roads and calves were lost at a high rate. "We had a blizzard that came through in December and didn't quit until April," Giedd grumbled. "It snowed almost every day," Ashley Giedd, Mark's daughter, added.

Ripon will mark one week since the Islamic State (IS) terrorist attacks in Paris with a remembrance service on the Market Place tonight from 8pm.
Last Friday, November 13, three coordinated teams of IS gunmen attacked a concert hall, the Stade de France and restaurants, almost simultaneously, killing at least 129 people.
To mark one week since the attack, Ripon resident Michelle Lofthouse has organise a 'Prayers for Paris' remembrance event on the southern side of the Market Place from 8pm-9pm.
The French and English national anthem will be played during the service with prayers read by Canon Ruth Hind before a two minute silence. The Hornblower will then play to finish the service.
Michelle explained she decided to organise the service after watching the terror attacks unfold on television last Friday and being 'heart-broken' by the news.
She said: "I think each and every one of us were horrified by the news and I just thought, as nothing had been arranged, that the city should be doing something so I decided to get the ball rolling.
"The idea is for people to turn at any time with candles on the square and to honour the victims in any way they want to. They can then stay for the prayers but it's just a way for people to come together.
"It's important for us to show unity and that we here in Ripon are thinking about the tragedy and loss of life.
"I was absolutely devastated when I saw it all unfold. I watched it on the news and stayed up until the early hours and my heart just sank."
Ripon has been twinned with the French town Foix since 1957 so Michelle explained it would be 'fitting' for the city to pay their respects to the victims.

Customer Feedback
- Customer Feedback
- Performance
To fulfill our promise of a legendary customer experience we strive to exceed customers' expectations in service and convenience. We find out what service and convenience means to our customers through regular polling, surveys, focus groups and mystery shops. We then work hard to go above and beyond in every customer contact, meeting and transaction.
Customer Experience Index
We evaluate our performance through our Customer Experience Index (CEI) in Canada and our Customer WOW! Index (CWI) in the U.S. These indices help us to set targets and drive improvement; the results have an impact on employee compensation. CEI and CWI measure our customers' likelihood to recommend TD to their family, friends or colleagues. We also ask respondents to rate our performance in a number of areas, such as:
- Showing we value our customers.
- Listening carefully to understand our customers' concerns and questions.
- Providing prompt responses to requests.
- Showing genuine interest in helping our customers.
In 2010, we contacted over 600,000 customers to determine customer experience levels.
2010 Results
TD Canada Trust and TD Wealth Management employees delivered record levels of customer experience as measured by CEI.
Our U.S. employees continued to provide customers with an exceptionally high level of service and made a rapid recovery following the integration of TD Banknorth and Commerce Bank in 2009. While the Customer WOW! Index results fell year-over-year from 2009, they were still considerably higher than pre-integration levels.
Business 2010 Target 2009 2008 2011 Targets TD Canada Trust 30.6 28.9 27 26.1 33.0 TD Bank 30.8 33.1 32.5 28.3 33.7 TD Wealth Management 10.2 4.5 3.5 3.5 10.0 TD Securities 80.3 n/a 79.7 72.9 n/a
Customer Experience Index Results1
1 The Net Promoter Score™ is the percentage of customers who are promoters less the percentage of customers who are detractors.
Customer experience is measured through a third-party survey conducted throughout the year to measure how likely a customer is to recommend TD to a friend or colleague. The Customer Experience Index (CEI) is measured using a Net Promoter Score™ which is calculated based on the response to a question, such as: "Thinking about the entire experience you had during your most recent visit to the branch, how likely are you to recommend TD to a friend or colleague?"

Why is my iPhone glitchy, and the battery is low
So I have an iPhone 5c, with the latest update,
And I've recently noticed my phone has been having some problems. Like it'll go really glitchy and start moving things by itself, like it'll open an app by itself, when I try to type it'll erase what I wrote or type in a different letter, idk what to do.
Also recently my battery will go down to 5% and then die, and when it's plugged in it says it's charging, but then it atill dies,
And when it restores it's back at 5% and eventually dies again.

Coyu & Ramiro Lopez – Clap Your Hands

- CatalogDrumcode
- Genres
- Artists
Release Date | Out Now
Revered producer, DJ and Suara label boss Coyu has joined forces with fellow Spanish artist Ramiro Lopez on 'Clap Your Hands', forthcoming on September 5th via Adam Beyer's renowned Drumcode imprint.
A versatile producer, 'Clap Your Hands' allows Coyu to display his talent for harder-edged techno. Pounding drums, metallic rattling, a tension-filled breakdown and the eponymous distorted vocal sample help to ensure the track fits in perfectly with Drumcode's high-quality repertoire. Made with the dancefloor in mind, Coyu debuted 'Clap Your Hands' during his set at Valencia's Marenostrum Festival, where it received a spectacular reception.
Coyu and Ramiro Lopez are regular production partners, having released a number of tracks on Coyu's own Suara in the past, as well as John Digweed's esteemed Bedrock Records. This latest track on Drumcode further adds to their reputation as a force to be reckoned with.
About Coyu
Coyu has quickly gained a reputation as one of Spain's most prominent names in electronic music. His Suara imprint is one of the most prolific of its genre; since being established back in 2008, it's provided a home for releases from the likes of Hot Since 82, Noir, Paco Osuna, Pig&Dan, and Catz 'N Dogz, as well as a broad spectrum of homegrown Spanish talent.
Coyu's own productions have previously been released not only on Suara, but also on labels as varied as Bedrock, Cocoon, Hot Creations, Cajual and Noir Music. As a DJ, he frequently plays high-profile gigs such as Space Ibiza, Warung Beach Club in Brazil, Output New York, and Watergate in Berlin. Meanwhile, his Suara label nights continue to be a sell-out success in his hometown of Barcelona, and have hosted events at BPM Mexico and Miami Music Week.

IP Hostage Has Been Released!
Posted by Daeity On Monday, January 9, 2012
Bethesda finally announced the outcome of their Interplay/Fallout legal battle in a press release today:
FALLOUT® MMO RIGHTS RESTORED TO BETHESDA SOFTWORKS® IN INTERPLAY LITIGATIONIf you might recall, here's what I was predicting several months ago:
All Fallout® Intellectual Property Rights Belong Exclusively to Bethesda
January 9, 2012 (Rockville, MD) –ZeniMax® Media Inc. today announced that a settlement had been reached in the lawsuit filed by its subsidiary, Bethesda Softworks®, against Interplay Entertainment Corporation in 2009, Bethesda Softworks LLC v Interplay Entertainment Corp., seeking cancellation of the license granted to Interplay to develop a massively multiplayer online game (MMO) based on the Fallout brand. Bethesda maintained in its complaint that Interplay had failed to meet the conditions for the license and the license was therefore of no continuing validity.
Under the terms of the settlement, the license granted to Interplay to develop the Fallout MMO is null and void, and all rights granted to Interplay to develop a Fallout MMO revert back to Bethesda, effective immediately. Interplay has no ongoing right to use the Fallout brand or any Fallout intellectual property for any game development. ZeniMax will pay Interplay $2 million as consideration in the settlement, each party will bear its own costs of the litigation, and Bethesda will continue to own all Fallout intellectual property rights. Interplay will be permitted to continue to sell the original Fallout ®Tactics, Fallout® and Fallout® 2 PC games through December 2013, after which time all rights to market those games revert to and become the sole property of Bethesda. Under the original agreement pursuant to which Bethesda had acquired the Fallout property, Interplay was granted certain merchandising rights to sell those original Fallout games, but those merchandising rights will now expire on December 31, 2013.
Blah blah blah.. Interplay did bad things "allegedly"..
I think Interplay is just playing the long game. They might not have any money, but they're thinking ahead and they just need to hold out longer then Zenimax can in facing their private investors.Interplay originally sold the Fallout IP for $5.75 million, and now they're selling it back to them again for an additional $2 million. (I wonder if there is anything else undisclosed in the settlement?)
There's probably no real development happening, and Interplay has no serious plans to produce a Fallout MMO, so they're just waiting for Bethesda to fold and finally purchase the Fallout IP unconditionally with an outrageous price tag. This recent legal game is just demonstrating how desperate and unplanned Bethesda is in dealing with the situation. I think, in the end, Bethesda will completely own the Fallout IP but they'll pay an arm and a leg for it.
Plus, Q4 ends December 31 (I guess that makes it FY2012 Q1 in the US?) and quarterly shareholders meetings will be held in late January to early February 2012.
Nailed it. :)
Even with the rights to the MMO, it's not like Bethesda is even planning on creating a MMO. They just wanted the full IP to move forwards with their single player adventures. Although, even without a MMO, multiplayer features are still very likely for future installments. There are a lot of problems creating a MMO of this genre, and it's something I'll be talking about soon.
(By the way, I'm guessing that the Diablo 3 Release Date announcement will be made before Activision Blizzard's early Feb shareholders meeting if they intend on releasing it by March. They'll want something nice to tell their shareholders, but they won't be revealing any pre-order numbers or anything. Cataclysm was announced 1 month before the shareholders meeting, but SC2 was announced just 3 days before the meeting. Cataclysm had Digital Pre-Downloads though.)

I've been Love SPAMMED
The GOOD news: I received an email from a HOT Brazilian admirer
The BAD news: It's SPAM (trying to get me onto a dating site)!
Message received…
I've been looking for you for most of all my life. But you were so hard to find.
But suddenly I decided to come here, and I lost my mind when I saw you.
Everything I want now is loving You, caring You and being with you.
Everything I want is becoming your second half.
We are still far from each other, we don't have memories and romantic dates. But just imagine how many dates are waiting for us in future, what sweet memories we will have.
If you are tired of empty relations, of empty trials to build happy family life in love, I will give you everything you need and miss: love, passion, care, tenderness, and comfort of sweet home.
I hope that I am woman of your dream, and you can find me if you look at here: (dating website not shown).
Looking forward to get a letter from you
Danny D.
So, yes, I did take a quick look at the website.
That's how I discovered "she" was Brazilian.
Alas, I'm taken and 18 year olds are NOT my thing.
Still, it was good for a laugh!

Key-bored technology can transform how we control computers -- or more likely, turn us into mindless finger-licking automatons.
(A shameless parody of Janelle Brown's Talking 'bout a Computer Revolution, Salon Magazine, October 1999.)
Halloween Night, 1999: I thought about starting this article on key-bored technology with a lament about my hoarse voice and loose tongue, which, thanks to my excessive -- and prodigious -- dictating, have lately required sucking on lozenges. I debated sentences like "The latest key-bored software offers a feasible solution for those suffering from bad speeech" or "I pounded out this entire article with a MS Natural Keyboard, and not once did my mouth utter a sound." But I DIDN'T write this entire article with key-bored technology -- though I did compose bits and peices of it using a new Microsoft Natural Keyboard (can you figure out which sentences were key-boreded?). That is a sign of how far key-bored technology still has to go before we all use it as an everyday computer interface.
The four weeks I spent testing key-bored devices have been one of the most frustrating times of my life. I spent hours hitting the keys over and over, pounding in the rigid manner that key-boreds force upon users, waiting for complete, properly-spilled words to appear on the screen. Fortunately the vendors include a "backspace" and a "delete" key, suitable for wiping out mistakes. I only wonder if these keys will last as long as the rest of the key-bored. Learning to use these requires utmost patience -- for example, you must learn to simultaneously hold a "Shift" key with one finger while pressing a letter with a finger on the other hand to get a capital letter. (Why they don't call this a "Cap" key is beyond me.) You have to remember your c's and k's as you figure out the sequence for writing "sucking" (is it c before k or k before c?). Most will probably quit in exasperation and dictate instead, relegating use of the key-boreds to specialists trained ffor months to pound little square keys like a bunch of monkeys. These specialists won't be paid much because it is so much faster to dictate. If a technologist as myself can't put up wtih the technology, how will it ever catch on? Unless the government forces people to sit down for months at a time to learn to use this, key-boreds will die a natural death.
Key-boreding has improved since the IBM Selectric® and earlier models. Those available now are better than those of just a few years ago, with more keys so that one can actually press one key and have something happen. Progress will likely take the form of adding keys that correspond to common words that we use. In a primitive form, all the manufacturers have added a row of "F ^&" keys near the top of the key-bored which will surely be expanded as the technology matures. And key-bored interfaces are creeping into our lives in areas such as automated tellers, where the psychology of not having someone else hear that you are withdrawing all your money may be important.
The key-bored market is also booming in noisy markets, finding a large market for cash machines in retail estabishments where noise is a constant issue. In these niche markets it appears that the days of speech to input repetitious numbers may be drawing to a close. The strong match between the decimal system and the number of our fingers makes key-boreds a strong contender for numeric applications. "Any device that humans touch has a potential for key-bored technologies -- touch is natural, and caressing keys reminds people of their primal instincts", explains the Product Manager for Natural Keyboards. "It is a way to communicate through feel as well as through other interfaces."
Only in the last few years has the technology become viable for everyday consumers. Myke Tison, a key pounding expert at Punches R'Us, explains: "with ongoing training, we now have people, particularly in the South, who can actually pound keys faster than they can drawl! A few of these people, after many months of practice, have become accurate enough in their work that they can produce readable documents. But we still have a fundamental problem in that it takes several months for people to become proficient. Our plan is to infiltrate the schools so that we can start this training early."
The first adopters of key-bored technology were those with vocal problems -- the mumblers, mush-mouthed persons, those with throat cancer, and ex-cheerleaders who had worn down their speaking voices. Persons wanting it for command and control were next -- after all, it might be a little faster to hit a single button than to say "open file". Homonym-phobic persons followed as they pointed out how the key-bored was better for homonyms. "At last, we can get the computer to recognize 2"x4" without having to resort to voice tricks" said an unnamed source at M&I Construction.
Because of the numerous spelling errors introduced with this technology, vendors have announced plans for specialized software to identify spelling errors which are so prevalent when using key-boreds. A brief test of these "spell-check" products indicated that while they have some limited use, they failed to detect homonyms, falsely detected many proper names, and provided only nominal value.
The Mitsumi keyboard is currently one of the market leaders. Microsoft has its bloated Natural Keyboard which bulges in the center amd has its own proprietary software, claiming that this helps relieve tired hands and improves long-term accuracy. IBM has what it bills as a very high-quality keyboard, somewhat more expensive but with a better tactile interface. European versions are available with keys moved around and keys added for the additional characters in their alphabets. Generally these versions are available only after the US version has been on the market 4-5 months.
A side market is developing with specialized programs just to help people learn to use these devices. Particularly insidious are those which seem to aim at young children such as Mavis Beacon Teaches Key-Boreding, trying to make a game out of this ordeal. Fortunately, in a brief test we found that 19 of 20 children in a 2nd grade classroom weren't fooled at all and chose to read instead of using this game.
Key-boreding isn't yet making a major splash with everyday computer users; instead, it's still a niche product that is being used by those who have a pressing need. The products aren't expensive; only a few dollars for a basic version. In all probability, many potential customers are intimidated by the awkwardness of a new interface and the time commitment involved in making it work. As said earlier, it's far from perfect: I spent time practicing with two key-bored products, Mitsumi and Natural Keyboard, and was impressed and frustrated by the experience.
To train, you repeatedly pound out keystrokes to learn where the letters and other symbols reside. After pounding anywhere from five days to a fortnight, while your fingers learn the key locations, you finally realize what "repetition" really means. Then you can start typing documents.
Advocates estimate that a good key-boreder will "hit a plateau" within two to three days of usage. The idea is that the more you use the it, the better it will perform. After using the key-bored for four weeks, I saw improvement -- although that was after four weeks, not two to three days.
These products boast accuracy of 99.9 percent on up; but getting to that optimal recognition is a painstaking process -- in fact, there are entire books dedicated to explaining how to use the key-bored correctly. Yes, these can quite accurately transcribe your words, but only after you've mastered the ins and outs of proper fingering, specific commands and the oddities of key-bored controls.
For every sentence that I breezily key-boreded, I had to spend another minute or so attempting to delete the mistakes.
To correct an error midway through a sentence, for example, you use a string of keys "Left arrow", "left arrow", "control-left arrow", "backspace", "backspace", "left arrow", "delete", "end". With each of these commands, there's a chance that you will pound the wrong key and accidentally add another error into your sentence, necessitating yet another string of corrections.
Another niggling annoyance: You can't eat and key-bored at the same time. You'll get grease on the key-bored, causing "slick keys" mistakes. The constant pounding creates a cacophony of noises in the office, interfering with those who are dictating on their machines. Leaving the key-bored uncovered invites others to pound away, causing strange characters to appear in your words.
Most important, as a journalist, it's not easy to compose an article through your fingers -- it's a bizarre feeling to "feel" sentences rather than let words roll off your tongue. Writing becomes a tedious act; you get distracted by the mechanics as you must will your fingers to go through awkward gyrations. If you aren't careful, it'll be an awfully slow process: Just the last two sentences alone cost minutes of "backspace" and "delete" and "Control-end." After even a few minutes of key-boreding, it feels like arthritis must be setting in prematurely. Admittedly, Microsoft's Natural Key-bored gave me a few more minutes of use before pain-killers were needed. Of course, these pain-killing drugs have their own effect on the writing :-)
Using key-boreding can stunt the creative writing process -- you end up feeling like an automaton, thinking in short words with your fingers in control. The natural cadence of my sentences instead comes out stiff and dry; my complex thoughts were interrupted by a constant need to correct the mistakes. I felt like an automaton; not an author. Users must more carefully think out what they want to compose before they key-bored it -- which isn't necessarily a natural way of acting in our rushed age.
But regardless of my complaints, key-boreds have a big upside. It's a blessing to not have to waste your speech on repetitious prose; and you get more exercise while your work. Your fingers get more exercise than ever, leaving them fit and trim for other activities. Your pace must be slower, so that you don't make as many mistakes -- so the technology will probably invade government offices quite rapidly.
And, as mothers and teachers around the world will probably rejoice to hear, we humans also need to refine our fine motor skills. Learning to use the keyboard will certainly cause us to have better control over our fingers, leading to increased scores on video games. A good pair of earplugs might be a useful investment, too -- if everyone starts pounding on the machines that surround us, instead of dictating, imagine the cacophony of noises. We may save our voices, our mouth and our tongue, but what about our ears? I'm doubtful that any device this noisy will survive in anything but niche markets. I rate all the key-boreds one star out of five -- nice curiosities for most of us, but nothing that we really need to buy.

Pastry bases, filled -with juicy fruit, and then a crumble topping gently flavoured with a hint of cinnamon.
As these cakes are so easy and quick to make, I have devised this recipe to make 24 little cakes made in a patty tin.
They store perfectly in the freezer, and are so useful to have hot or cold for puddings, packed lunches or for a snack with a cup of tea ~ the 24 little cakes will soon disappear!
You can use any kind of fruit allowed in your diet. They are delicious made with apples, plums or any fresh soft fruit, but almost any canned or jar of fruit you have in the cupboard will be suitable. Our favourites are made with cherries, the kind that come in jars, or canned summer fruits in juice.
First prepare the pastry:
- 250g Fate All-Purpose Mix
- 125g block margarine or butter
- pinch salt
- 30g caster sugar
- 5Omls water
- Preheat the oven, Gas 6 200°C 400°F
- Place the Fate All-Purpose Mix into a mixing bowl, and stir in the salt. Rub in the butter until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs, the continue until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs.
- Measure the water into a separate dish, and stir in the sugar. Add this to the All-Purpose Mixture, and using a metal spoon, mix quickly until it is smooth and creamy. Do not worry if you think the mixture is very soft, just leave it to rest for a couple of minutes.
- Lightly dust the work surface with extra All-Purpose mix, and knead the pastry for a minute or so until smooth. Then roll it out to about ½ cm thick. Cut it out into rounds and place into a patty tin. There is no need to grease it.
Then prepare the crumble topping and put it all together:
- 250g Fate Low Protein Cake mix
- 50g block margarine or butter
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- Place the Fate cake mix into the bowl, and rub in the margarine or butter until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs.
- Stir in the cinnamon
- If you are using fresh fruit, prepare it and cut into small pieces, or leave small fruits whole. If you are using canned or jarred fruit, drain well.
- Place a little fruit in the base of each pastry case, then sprinkle on some crumble topping.
- Bake in pre~heated for about 20 mins till firm and browned. Remove from the oven and leave in the tin for a couple of mins before placing on a wire rack to cool.
Delicious eaten hot or cold. They will keep well for a few days stored in an airtight container. Or they freeze well, just wrap individually in film and place into a suitable bag to store.

text: I too am a former Target employee with a similar situation as I have actually been let go from Target corp after 16yrs. I have never been written up, or had any kind of coaching or corrective action in my life, nor have I ever known a Team Leader who was, that is until recently. 4 team leaders have been fired from just my former store alone, with one more on the way. All of those let go have had 15 plus years in, one actually had 22. And thats just one store I cant seem to get an accurate number of how many have been let go in other area stores but I know there are many. And the reasons are absurd. They seem to have documentation of conversations I never had with execs. They can make up anything they want, its our word against theres. There is even a new District Manager. This is however affecting executives too. Many Store Managers and other upper management execs have been let go as well. From what Ive seen my last few months there, Target is no longer about the guest, they are only about Target. So your comment from their spokesperson is not accurate, maybe if she had ever worked at store level she would see that. People joke and make comments, but this is real and this is how people survive. We need our jobs more than ever, but Target seems to think its ok to throw people away.

Hey there,
I moved here from Sweden fall of 2011.
I enjoy shooting weddings, I love to see the love and the interaction between two souls. Capturing memories for the couple and family to cherish forever.
I have always been very interested in interior design and architecture as well . I am constantly on Pinterest looking for home decorating ideas. So traveling all over Northern VA to photography homes combines these two perfectly.

Briefly, I wanted to say that I ate 6 servings of veggies today, but only one of fruit. I really haven't had much of an appetite, so I didn't snack at all today. But I had a BIG salad for dinner. I measured it out (a serving of veggies is generally half a cup) and it was 4 servings! In all fairness, I barely made it to the bottom of the bowl because it was a ton of food. My salad had the afore mentioned mache, along with frisee and radicchio, plus shredded carrots, tomato, corn, and garbanzo beans. I topped it with a simple salad dressing (2 T olive oil, 2 T brown rice vinegar, 1/2 tsp mustard powder and salt and pepper to taste) and some slices of turkey sausage. It was definitely tasty (and very much like the salads I love in Switzerland), but in the future I'm going to try not to eat 4 servings of veggies at once. Volume-wise, it is difficult.
My darling fiance is using my resolution as an excuse to push the spirulina powder that he swears is good for me. I think it smells vaguely like a fish tank, but will occasionally add it to a smoothie, especially a green monster, which is green anyway, and masks the taste. However, I may take him up on it, at least every now and then. There are claims on the net that it counts for up to 10 servings of veggies, but if I eat it, I will count it as 1 serving.

That is a lot of veggies for one serving. Do you eat Tuna? I have a great tuna salad recipe with no mayo and lots of veggies.ReplyDelete
Haha yeah it was intense. :)ReplyDelete
I do eat tuna (although I have to fight the cats for it :P) and would love the recipe. I'm not the biggest mayo fan so that sounds really good! :)
Go you! I try to get all my veggie servings but it is HARD! On days I'm light on fruit I don't worry about it though, since on a typical day I eat like 5 servings of fruit. It is just so delicious!ReplyDelete
Yeah, I don't worry so much about the fruit because I love it and if I'm low one day, I tend to make it up the next. The veggies are the tough part for me! Hopefully this challenge will help me form a good habit of eating my daily servings!ReplyDelete

We loved our stay! Thanks Enza!Gatea was beautiful and you made everything perfect. It was our first trip out of the U.S. and we were quite nervous not knowing the language, culture and other aspects of visiting a foreign country. The second we met you and saw our beautiful condo we knew everything was going to be great. You are a fabulous cook and great host and instead of a rushed vacation where we feel like tourists - we got one where we felt like we were an actual Italian family! Easily the best vacation experience we've ever had. We'll be back!

We would absolutely stay here again!My sister, niece and I stayed at the Apartment for 2 weeks in June-July, 2008. We loved it. It is in a residential area - not a tourist area. The apartment is extremely well equipped with amenities and is close to the beach! With all of the great restaurants, we only enjoyed breakfast in, but could have prepared all of our meals with all of the amenities in the kitchen. The apartment is very quiet and very modern. We would absolutely stay here again! Thank you Enza!

My laptopfaked again
This time i think it's the backlight that stopped working
The screen has no brightness whatsoever. If i look really closely I can see that things have loaded up exactly the way it should have but it's so dim it's completely unusable
waiting on a call for repair cost now...any suggestions?
I can still play, but on my crappy laptop (craptop), which doesn't see items drop on the floor :/
seriously, i've emailed ncsoft and they don't know what's up, freya update didn't fix it either
When items drop, I can only see some of themsometimes. If i hover my mouse over it then the item name comes up as normal but the image of it on the floor isn't there. The items it effects is completely random. Like maybe I can see a mana pot sometimes but other times it's invisble. It only happens with mob drops, if i throw something on the floor I can see it. Any suggestions on that too?

Also Connacht should look at signing saili, they really need 2 explosive centres for the style they play. I think saili would excel there
I think Ronaldson at 12 is crucial to the way they've played. Remains to be seen as well whether Keane will favour a ball-playing 12 (which would push Aki to 13) or a truck it up merchant.
Tom Farrell looks good. He seems to be able to manufacture quite a lot of line-breaks
What was the verdict on Farrell when he was at Leinster? To me, he's very good with ball in hand but struggles in defence.
Yeah. There might be a bit of defensive weakness in his game. I'd need to see more of him

I've never felt as lost as I do right now, but how quickly can I see where myself I want to be? Time is precious right now and I'm not letting it go by faster than I can put up with. Today I thought something out-loud that really shouldn't be the case. I was thinking about how the countries of the world would rather satisfy their curiosities with the exploring of the solar system rather than give people of their country free health-care. Do you think the trillions of dollars spent on NASA could go to making the clinics and doctors to be cost free? Just something to think about.
it's true i lack words for the current state of fizer and procter and gamble/
drug costs rising what to prescribe me is confusion these doctors can't handle/
it's time to dismantle the profits is it that hard for you to only break even/
but you've made me believe you did what's right now we can't just fake treason/
we think it should be free to get healed i'm appalled at where all the dollars go/
too bad i wish these CEOs would display the same intelligence our scholars show/
they paint the future dark with various shades of black all it does is it distracts/
us off track and we need to react differently with many things we combat in fact/
are we a society that needs to see plenty fendi and moon bases by 2020 and on/
lived outside our means for centuries plenty of men be telling me i've lived wrong/
is space exploration a joke or do we need to debate if it's a planet or not/
it's salvation i sought not bought i struggle because i can't stand what is taught/

A question I'm often asked is "Bill, if you were walking down the street and saw a $100 bill on the ground, would you stop to pick it up?" My answer to that is as wealthy as I am, I was raised in a time where a hundred bucks was a lot of money, so of course, I would pick it up and use it as rolling paper.
Obviously I would pick the money up because if there's one thing you need to know about me is that I love to smoke pot. I smoke a lot. Another thing that you need to know about me is, since I broke my bong, I only smoke jays. Anytime I see any piece of paper I think to myself, "Could I turn this into a fat blunt?" A $100 bill is no different.
I've heard all the statistics before, and I technically make over $100 a second, so it would actually be a waste of time for me to bend down and take the bill. What people don't realize is that I'm a pothead and I look for creative ways to get high.
Say I'm hanging out in the park with my wife, and out of the corner of my eye, I spot a fresh hundred dollar bill. My only concern with lighting up a hundred bucks would be that the paper's too thick for it to properly catch. I want a cherry joint, you know?
Listen, I hope I didn't shatter all your preconceived notions about the type of person Bill Gates is, but if I did, I don't honestly care. I'm high right now.
