Atlanta Vacations
Your Atlanta vacation
Atlanta's reputation as a friendly Southern city with world-class attractions is well-deserved thanks to sites like the Fox Theatre, Georgia Aquarium and the MLK Jr. Historic Site. From the Civil War to Civil Rights and the celebration of the 1996 Centennial Olympic Games, Atlanta's attractions bring education and entertainment to all ages. Bring the family to the Georgia Aquarium, and spend the evening ogling lasers and fireworks in Stone Mountain Park.
Whether you take an Atlanta vacation to soak up the Georgia capital's history or to enjoy the spirit of the South, Orbitz has the top 10 Atlanta attractions you won't want to miss.

There's an awful lot to discover in Atlanta, but before you dive into planning your day's adventure you'd best set your sights on a place to lay your head when the day's through.

Atlanta highlights
Atlanta History Center
Revisit Atlanta's colorful past from the Civil War to Civil Rights and the 1996 Olympics. Located on 33 acres in Buckhead, this history-lovers' magnet also features folk art collection, and a tribute to American golf legend "Bobby" Jones, Jr. Stop by the Centennial Olympic Games Museum, Swan House and Tulle Smith Farm.
Centennial Olympic Park
Walk in the footsteps of Olympians who competed here in the 1996 Summer Olympics. Bring your tykes (and bathing suits) to the Fountain of Rings, an interactive fountain with four free daily shows. Stop by Googie Burger for lunch, then head to the Georgia Aquarium and the World of Coca-Cola nearby.
Fernbank Museum of Natural History
Come face to face with the world's largest dinosaurs at Giants of the Mesozoic, a renowned collection of cast fossil replicas. This family-friendly museum features exhibits that appeal to all ages – including Martinis & IMAX on Fridays night from January to November.
Fox Theatre
You haven't really experienced the Fox Theatre until you've stood under its vaulted ceiling aglitter in twinkling lights and Arabian-esque architecture. You can take a daytime tour, but the best way is with a show. The line up ranges from Broadway productions and the Atlanta Ballet to rock concerts and film screenings.
Georgia Aquarium
Atlanta is a landlocked city, unless you count the 10 million gallons of water at the Georgia Aquarium, the world's largest. Every part of the aquarium is interactive, from the walk-through shark tunnel to the exhibit housing whale sharks, the largest fish species in the world. (The lines are long, especially on weekends, so buy your tickets in advance.)
Martin Luther King Jr. National Historic Site
Atlanta was central to the Civil Rights Movement in the 1960s, with Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. its most prominent leader. Learn more about Dr. King's legacy through a self-guided tour of Historic Ebenezer Baptist Church, and a guided tour Dr. King's birth home. Admission is free, and home tours are first-come, first-serve.
Stone Mountain Park
OK, it's the world's largest piece of exposed granite, but that's just one highlight in this 3,200-acre park. Even with cable car Summit Skyride, a Sky Hike adventure course, 4-D theater and scenic railroad, you've barely scratched the surface. And don't miss the nighttime Lasershow Spectacular -- it's an Atlanta tradition.
Piedmont Park
This 189-acre park, abutting the Midtown and Virginia Highland neighborhoods, is home to beer gardens, bocce courts, an aquatic center and more. But with its abundance of green grass and shady trees, your best experience may be to do nothing at all.
Woodruff Arts Center
This Midtown crown jewel includes the Alliance Theatre, High Museum of Art, Young Audiences 14th Street Playhouse, and the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra. Check out the High Museum's permanent collection of Southern self-taught and folk art -- including works by Rev. Howard Finster and Mattie Lou O'Kelley.
World of Coca-Cola
In Atlanta travel, you're often asked what kind of Coke you want -- that's the sway Coca-Cola holds in this town. Learn about the brand's history, and take an inside look at the bottling process. Bring your sweet tooth to the Taste It! Room -- you can sample as many of the 60-plus Coke products from around the world as you want.

Hey guys,
Just thought I'd share the video I shot a couple of weeks ago in Paris. I've basically had this challenge in mind for 15 years, as I was passing by these stations every day to go to school. So I bragged about the fact that I could beat the tube with my own two feet. Everyone laughed. For 15 years. So at one point, I had to make it stop. By actually doing it. Here's the result :
this is hilarious
#JVIsABoss #RudyGayTime #DeRozanGoingHAM #AirAmirJohnson #KLow
damn this had me rollin
Best Harlem Shake remake ever....
Damn, I miss the ali g show
This is pretty hilarious:

What Kind of Face Cream Should You Use?
By Reno Berkeley
What do you want in a face cream? Do you want something that will protect your skin from UV rays? Do you need something that will reduce the signs of aging? Or, do you want something a bit different, possibly organic? You've probably gone through your share of lotions and creams in the never-ending quest of the perfect face cream. Gone are the days of simple choices. In today's highly competitive marketplace, cosmetics companies are constantly vying for your attention and dollars.
Cold Cream
If you've ever watched a classic movie, you might have seen a female character sit at her vanity and apply cream to her fully done-up face. She then wipes the cream from her face with a towel, removing her makeup. Cold cream is one of the oldest skin care products and has been in use for over a century. The cream not only cleans the face, but it also leaves the skin moist. However, it can leave an oily residue, clogging the pores of women prone to breakouts. Cold cream might work well if you live in a cool, dry environment. You can find Pond's Cold Cream, $7.19, at CVS.
Moisturizing Creams
Moisturizing lotions give the skin a lift and help replenish lipids in the skin. When your face is well-moisturized, it maintains a healthy, youthful glow. Products that use oil extracts are good for dry and normal skin. Products, such as Olay Original Active Hydrating Beauty Fluid, $9.47, at Wal-Mart, use mineral oils and are perfect for dry or aging skin.
Moisturizers for combination or oily skin should not contain oily ingredients. Non-oil-based products that work well with these skin types are Garnier's Moisture Rescue Refreshing Gel-Cream, $6.99, at Target. The gel contains water and glycerin, plus vitamin E and grape water extract. It makes your skin feel soft, but not too oily.
Another good product for oily skin is Dead Sea Essentials Aloe Vera Daytime Moisturizer, $14.99, on the Dead Sea Essentials web site. After applying it, you will barely notice it's there, but you'll certainly appreciate the silky feel your face suddenly acquires. As its name implies, Dead Sea Essentials products contain salts from the ancient inland sea. It also contains aloe vera, a historically effective facial moisturizer.
Acne Creams
Acne facial creams are essential to women prone to breakouts. Most contain benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid, or a natural anti-inflammatory and antiseptic agent like tea tree oil. Be careful about which type of cream you use to address your acne problem, as some ingredients might overdry your skin. One product that gets great reviews from users is Neutrogena's Rapid Clear Acne Defense Face Lotion, $7.99, at the Neutrogena website. It uses botanical ingredients coupled with salicylic acid to eliminate acne quickly.

Elect to escape
One place where you can turn on the television without having to worry about political ads is at the Renaissance Aruba Resort & Casino. The Renaissance, on the Dutch island of Aruba, is inviting the "election weary to take a post-election break with discounted rates tied directly to presidential polls."
The "Elect to Escape" promotion offers discounts on rates, starting at $260 per night, which are directly related to the Gallup Election 2012 tracking polls. "If President Obama is attracting support from 54 percent of voters nationwide, resort rooms at the adult-exclusive Marina Hotel can be booked at a 54 percent discount on that day. If Mitt Romney surges ahead by 60 percent the following day, the discount will jump to 60 percent."
Pay attention to the polls to get the most out of this deal. "Elect to Escape" rates can be booked through Nov. 5, for stays from November 6 through Nov. 30.The Renaissance Aruba comprises the adult-only Marina Hotel and family-friendly Ocean Suites.
Election protection plan
To get to Aruba, travelers might want to enter JetBlue's "Election Protection 2012" sweepstakes. To be considered, travelers must go to the airline's website and choose this year's presidential winner or loser. In this case, the winner's candidate must actually lose the election.
"We've all heard the quote from people: 'If my candidate loses, I'm going to leave the country,' " said Marty St. George, JetBlue's senior vice president of marketing. "We fly to 21 international destinations, so we thought it could be a fun thing to do."
The airline will choose 1,006 sweepstake winners -- whose candidate lost the election -- to each receive two one-way tickets to the JetBlue international destination of their choice. (They receive two one-way tickets in case they decide to return to the United States.) The winners obviously won't be announced until after the Nov. 6 election.
The real winners this election season will be travelers who make the most of an excuse to arrange a relaxing getaway.

Tourti~re: Traditional Meat Pie
Tourtière is the traditional meat pie, which takes its name from the tourte, or deep pie plate, in which it was originally baked. Traditionally, the pies are served only in winter, especially during the holidays, when there is a great deal of visiting. True to traditional foodways, recipes for tourtière vary greatly. As writer Rhea Côte Robbins observes, "There are as many ways to prepare tourtière as there are Franco women." Collecting these recipes and preparing tourtière are powerful touchstones for many Franco-Americans.

Mission MCLB: Background on famous flag raising picture
It's a Pulitzer Prize winning picture that was shot during the battle of Iwo Jima during World War II. MCLB Deputy Public Affairs Officer Captain Kyle Thomas says in one word the picture is iconic.
"This iconic photo that you see here, this was taken only four days into the fight and it was taken by an individual by the name of Joe Rosenthal who was an Associated Press photographer that made daily visits to the battle" says Thomas.
There was a particular reason Marines wanted to take Mt. Suribachi first. "The Japanese would use that to spot targets so if they wanted to call an indirect fire on marines they could do so from that position. So that's why it was very important, that was really the eyes for the Japanese forces on that island. They could see across the whole island if they kept it" says Thomas. But the Japanese didn't keep Mt. Suribachi, the Marines won, but the battle wasn't over - especially for the men in the picture. "This was only the 4th day into a 35-long day fight and they continued to fight after this and half of this squad did not survive the battle itself" says Thomas. Block, Sousley, and Strank didn't make it out of the war alive.
The picture went on to become the inspiration for the monument near Arlington National Cemetery. Thomas says its purpose is so anytime someone sees it, they see hope and the Marine Corps spirit. "This picture really epitomizes that idea of marines don't quit, no matter how hard it is, no matter the uphill fight, no matter what lies in front of us - we're going to get to the top and we're going to raise the flag" says Thomas.

I have an idea for an online business, but I don't have the time to actually "execute" it. Is it sellable if I develop the business plan, website, etc.?
If so, or if not, when does a business become sellable? Who will buy it?
I have an idea for an online business, but I don't have the time to actually "execute" it. Is it sellable if I develop the business plan, website, etc.? If so, or if not, when does a business become sellable? Who will buy it? |
Ideas are a dime a dozen. They are worth very little, it's the execution that's worth it's weight in gold! So if you don't have time to 'execute' it then it's not sellable at all. How would you sell it anyway? As soon as you mention your business plan to someone nothing stops them from implementing it straightaway (without giving you anything). Also how would you value the business if it doesn't exist yet (and therefore has no income)? The only thing you could sell would be the domain name if you have already bought it (and even so it's only worth something if it is a very good domain name for this particular business you have in mind) and potentially the website (you don't give much information about it: would it be database driven? static? etc) | |||||||||
I've had at least 3 product ideas today, but that actually means nothing. Anyone can have ideas but not everyone can execute. Execution is hard, like really hard. Building the product Branding Building team Finding money Finding customers Marketing Administration Persevering when you encounter that inevitable bump in the road Etc etc.... Its pretty exhausting, but execution is where the actual business is. | |||
"At what point is a startup "sellable"?"
So, the question is "When we have a startup". My guess is that you have a startup when you have product working, or at least some half cooked product or prototype. | |||
As Anthony mentions, it's probably not sellable. Value is often defined by substitutes. If you don't tell someone the idea, what would it cost them to do something similar? Would they even want to do this based on what they're doing already? Would they be willing and able to do it well? If you do tell them, what would it cost them to do it without you? If the difference in value from knowing the idea is big enough it might be an idea you have to protect, but then how do you convince people they want to buy it? Do you have a proven history of valuable ideas? If you have an actual running business, the easiest way to answer the question is to think of what would happen if you were cut off from the world for 3 months. If that's bad for the business, then it's really your job and it's not easy to sell. If the business keeps running fine then it has an investment value which is defined by past earnings, future potential, and risk. Coming back to your idea - if you have a special ability to execute this idea it sounds like you might want someone to pay you to do it and then take ownership of the results and responsibility for future investment, marketing, etc. This is more of a strategic partnership than selling a business, and it depends a lot on how it complements the buyer's existing business. Can you double sales of Windows using your idea? Then you may be very rich soon :) | |||
U-S-E-R T-R-A-C-T-I-O-N if you can retain users/clients/traffic - you're on to something. | |||
Anything is "sellable", as long as there is someone willing to buy :-)
It's not unheard of that ideas have been sold as just ideas. You need to figure out if there would be someone even interested in buying the idea (maybe an established company in the same field). Then you need to see how you can protect your idea from being developed without paying you. There is a very small chance that just an idea can be sold. | |||


text: New Crystallization Technique To Slash Cloud Computing Costs Researchers specialized in material science and organic chemistry have unveiled an inexpensive process to obtain elongated crystalline elements possessing enviable characteristics. This was accomplished by the use of two tiny organic molecules exhibiting strong mutual affinity which leads them to assemble autonomously into a structured lattice, the condition for a material to be rendered ferroelectric. The process makes use of readily available and inexpensive raw materials, making it suitable for next-generation, high-end technological applications. The end product, the crystals, is produced quickly and is definitely resourceful. This crystal seeding process is in

-- -- So -- this latest string of cyber attacks -- we're just talking about prompting the Pentagon to add thousands of new employees to -- US cyber command but experts are concerned.
That there just aren't enough qualified people to fight our cyber war one of them has our.
Hollering he's founder and director of research for the sands institute which is -- cyber security training school.
Allan thanks so much for coming on the show you know the government says that they want to hire up to 4000 new workers.
Are are they available at the level they need are those people out there.
There are a lot of people who call themselves cyber security workers but only a few thousand in the whole country that have.
The kind of advanced skills you need to fight off these Chinese attacks and what's happening is the.
Government contractors are stealing them from the government and then contractors -- stealing from each other banks are stealing them from the contractors there just aren't enough in the country.
So it sounds like coming -- couple problems here one is I imagine -- JPMorgan or Goldman Sachs is stealing someone for the government from the government they're able to pay them hundreds of thousands of dollars -- -- -- If you go to work for the government it's gotta be you know I was looking -- -- -- -- forty or 50000 dollar job.
So it seems like how what the government ever get a single employee if they if the wage disparities that great.
The government actually has something up for the banks don't happen that is that it's legal to do things when your government -- -- that you can't do anywhere else.
And the mission the mission of the Defense Department the mission NSA the mission of the FBI those are real nations that people are proud to serve so as long as -- paid enough.
They'll stay if the mission is good and if they get good management figure actually can keep an enormous number of people in the government if the management -- -- in the nation is good.
So it's not -- -- I'm not ideal job data is what you're saying where financial networks that we focus on the dollar is first and given your just sat I -- you -- -- people -- train them every day are there enough people to fill the government's roles.
But there are for the bigger fact here that your money -- if if there about four or five years in their career and they're trying to buy a house and they don't feel like they have any money.
Enough money in -- government -- think they can be pulled out but so you you're right but but they've finances are forty to 50000 dollars more in that middle courier slot.
Outside the government finance that the government in the long term our government careers pretty good current cyber security.
And -- your question about not enough people right yeah well it sound like there are plenty of these jobs all around the country we have people who.
Are -- need to have jobs how do you train for something like that's.
You you have a different kind of training program in the training programs that you've been doing a lot of the programs for cyber people are academic programs are people go to class and they.
They have people talk to them about cyber security.
Cyber security is more like piloting a plane.
You can get a little bit good added that you take thousands of hours of sick time on an airplane to be a great fighter pilot security people are exactly the same way.
With a few hours you can talk about it.
With a few hundred hours you can do it it at a at a pedestrian level.
But the people we need have a thousand hours or more of training and simulators.
Time in simulators just like pilots.
-- -- people funneling into that industry that -- -- beginning to get that experience are they out there or did they not know these jobs exist I mean.
Where is the hold back.
The pullback is that there haven't been good simulators and -- -- been hasn't been a lot of good online and I'm sorry hands on training for a long time.
Just the last three or four years the air force has pioneered.
In developing simulators and training programs that have a lot of hands on work and now.
So we -- and others are taking that the air force learning and spreading it out to the banks can get the same people about hospitals can get the same people arrest the government can get those people so interesting on how my thanks for coming on.

Go ahead and mail firstname.lastname@example.com! Send in some links to your VODs, some background information about your casting. Also, make sure you have the 6 minute delay feature.
Are there vods from the first one? If not is there a matchlist? I was looking forward to seeing this as it's quite the novelty and was curious what people would pick and I couldn't find a stream.
No real VODs. The only game streamed were a ventcast from my team with Zyori. Not worth watching though. Here are the brackets from last tourney;
There probably isn't a huge demand for match IDs, but i wouldn't mind seeing the finals if you know the match IDs. On the player lookups they were too far back to find.
Sent you an email DawZ_
I'm willing to assist with stream coverage if no one better is doing it.
Still about 25 minutes left to register! Starting in 1h 25 minutes.

Using the Label Options on the Insert Menu |
In a MATLAB® figure, an axis label is a text string aligned with the x-, y-, or z-axis in a graph. Axis labels can help explain the meaning of the units that each axis represents. The following figure shows axis labels for both axes, created at the Command Line using the xlabel and ylabel functions, as follows:
xlabel('Time (Years)') ylabel('Population Size')
This is the simplest way to add axis labels using MATLAB code, and is described in more detail in Using Axis-Label Commands . You can add axis labels to a graph in other ways, as described in the following sections.
Note Although you can use free-form text annotations to create axes labels, it is not recommended. Axis labels are anchored to the axes they describe; text annotations are not. If you move or resize your axes, the labels automatically move with the axes. Additionally, if you cut a label and then paste it back into a figure, the label is no longer anchored to the axes. |
Click the Insert menu and choose the label option that corresponds to the axis you want to label: X Label, Y Label, or Z Label. A text entry box opens along the axis or around an existing axis label.
Enter the text of the label, or edit the text of an existing label.
Click anywhere else in the figure background to close the text entry box around the label. If you click on another object in the figure, such as an axes or line, you close the label text entry box but also automatically select the object you clicked.
To add labels to a graph using the Property Editor,
Start plot editing mode by selecting Edit Plot from the figure Tools menu.
Start the Property Editor by double-clicking on the axes in the graph. You can also start the Property Editor by right-clicking on the axes and selecting Properties from the context menu or by selecting Property Editor from the View menu.
The Property Editor displays the set of property panels specific to axes objects.
Select the X Axis, Y Axis, or Z Axis tab, depending on which axis label you want to add. Enter the label text in the text entry box.
You can rotate axis labels using the Property Editor:
Start plot editing mode by selecting Edit Plot from the figure Tools menu.
Display the Property Editor by selecting (left-clicking) the axis label you want to rotate. Right-click over the selected text, then choose Properties from the context menu.
Click the More Properties button to display the Property Inspector.
Select the Rotation property text field. A value of 0 degrees orients the label in the horizontal position.
With the left mouse button down on the selected label, drag the text to the desired location and release.
You can add x-, y-, and z-axis labels using the xlabel, ylabel, and zlabel functions. For example, these statements label the axes and add a title.
xlabel('t = 0 to 2\pi','FontSize',16) ylabel('sin(t)','FontSize',16) title('\it{Value of the Sine from Zero to Two Pi}','FontSize',16)
The labeling commands automatically position the text string appropriately. MATLAB interprets the characters immediately following the backslash (\) as TeX commands. These commands draw symbols such as Greek letters and arrows.
See the text String property for a list of TeX character sequences. See also the texlabel function for converting MATLAB expressions to TeX symbols.
Axis labels are text objects that you can rotate by specifying a value for the object's Rotation property. The handles of the x-, y-, and z-axis labels are stored in the axes XLabel, YLabel, and ZLabel properties respectively.
Therefore, to rotate the y-axis label so that the text is horizontal:
For example, this statement rotates the text of the y-axis label on the current axes:
You can reposition an axis label by dragging the text.

YA Fiction: 10 Graphic Novels You Wish You'd Read Sooner
Once upon a time, graphic novels were "those things my dorky kid brother reads". Over the past few years, though, graphic novels have come into their own, and popular titles are being adapted to the format in an effort to reach a broader audience (or sell more books to collectors, *ahem* Twilight *ahem*). Here are a few great reads you may've missed the first time around.

1. THE BOOKS OF MAGIC, Neil Gaiman, illustrated by Scott Hampton, Charles Vess, & Paul Johnson
Considered by some to be an early Harry Potter, The Books of Magic introduce Timothy Hunter, a weedy kid with glasses and a pet owl. Timothy is introduced to the world of magic by the Trenchcoat Brigade, a quartet of fallen mystics (and familiar faces to DC readers) who are aware that the boy has the potential to be the world's greatest magician, but that his allegiance to good or evil is undecided. They take him from the birth of the universe all the way through to its eventual death, ostensibly teaching him about the possibilities – and the price – of wielding magic before he decides whether to embrace his destiny. Along the way, Tim meets some of the DCU's more prominent magicians and fantasy characters, whilst his allies try to protect him from the machinations of the Cult of the Cold Flame. Following his misadventures, Tim decides that the price is too high . . . only to find that everything he has learnt from his supposed mentors has made it impossible for him to turn away from magic.
2. AMERICAN BORN CHINESE, Gene Luen Yang
As alienated kids go, Jin Wang is fairly run-of-the-mill: he eats lunch by himself in a corner of the schoolyard, gets picked on by bullies and jocks and develops a sweat-inducing crush on a pretty classmate. And, oh, yes, his parents are from Taiwan. This much-anticipated, affecting story about growing up different is more than just the story of a Chinese-American childhood; it's a fable for every kid born into a body and a life they wished they could escape. The fable is filtered through some very specific cultural icons: the much-beloved Monkey King, a figure familiar to Chinese kids the world over, and a buck-toothed amalgamation of racist stereotypes named Chin-Kee. Jin's hopes and humiliations might be mirrored in Chin-Kee's destructive glee or the Monkey King's struggle to come to terms with himself, but each character's expressions and actions are always perfectly familiar. True to its origin as a Web comic, this story's clear, concise lines and expert coloring are deceptively simple yet expressive. Even when Yang slips in an occasional Chinese ideogram or myth, the sentiments he's depicting need no translation. Yang accomplishes the remarkable feat of practicing what he preaches with this book: accept who you are and you'll already have reached out to others.
3. EMMA, Kaoru Mori
Meticulously researched and beautifully rendered, EMMA is a beloved, award-winning series that was adapted into an acclaimed anime series in Japan. In Victorian-era England, a young girl is rescued from a life of destitution and raised to become a proper British maid. Emma meets William, the eldest son of a wealthy family, and immediately falls in love with him. William shares her feelings, but the strict rules of their society prevent their relationship from ever coming out in the open. Traditional class distinctions and rich, historical details provide the backdrop for this appealing romance.–DC Comics
4. THE WALL: GROWING UP BEHIND THE IRON CURTAIN, Peter Sis **
Born out of a question posed to Sís (Play, Mozart, Play!) by his children (Are you a settler, Dad?), the author pairs his remarkable artistry with journal entries, historical context and period photography to create a powerful account of his childhood in Cold War–era Prague. Dense, finely crosshatched black-and-white drawings of parades and red-flagged houses bear stark captions: Public displays of loyalty—compulsory. Children are encouraged to report on their families and fellow students. Parents learn to keep their opinions to themselves. Text along the bottom margin reveals young Sís's own experience: He didn't question what he was being told. Then he found out there were things he wasn't told. The secret police, with tidy suits and pig faces, intrude into every drawing, watching and listening. As Sís grows to manhood, Eastern Europe discovers the Beatles, and the Prague Spring of 1968 promises liberation and freedom. Instead, Soviet tanks roll in, returning the city to its previous restrictive climate. Sís rebels when possible, and in the book's final spreads, depicts himself in a bicycle, born aloft by wings made from his artwork, flying toward America and freedom, as the Berlin Wall crumbles below. Although some of Sís's other books have their source in his family's history, this one gives the adage write what you know biting significance. Younger readers have not yet had a graphic memoir with the power of Maus or Persepolis to call their own, but they do now.–Publishers Weekly, ages 8 & up.
5. PERSEPOLIS, Marjanne Satrapi
Persepolis is the story of Satrapi's unforgettable childhood and coming of age within a large and loving family in Tehran during the Islamic Revolution; of the contradictions between private life and public life in a country plagued by political upheaval; of her high school years in Vienna facing the trials of adolescence far from her family; of her homecoming–both sweet and terrible; and, finally, of her self-imposed exile from her beloved homeland. It is the chronicle of a girlhood and adolescence at once outrageous and familiar, a young life entwined with the history of her country yet filled with the universal trials and joys of growing up. Edgy, searingly observant, and candid, often heartbreaking but threaded throughout with raw humor and hard-earned wisdom–Persepolis is a stunning work from one of the most highly regarded, singularly talented graphic artists at work today.
6. THE RABBI'S CAT, Joann Sfar **
Sfar, the French cartoonist behind the Little Vampire children's books, has come up with a hilarious and wildly original graphic novel for adults. The nameless, scraggly-looking alley cat who narrates the story belongs to an Algerian rabbi in the '30s. When the cat eats a parrot, he gains the power of speech and tries to convince his master to teach him the Torah, raising the question of whether the appropriate age for his bar mitzvah should be in human years or cat years. Of course, being a cat, he has plenty of impertinent opinions about Judaism. That's a delicious setup on its own, but it gets better when the cat loses his speech again halfway through, and the story becomes a broader, more bittersweet comedy about the rabbi's family and the intersection of Jewish, Arab and French culture. The rabbi's daughter Zlabya marries a young man from a nonobservant family in France. The Algerian family's visit with their Parisian in-laws is the subject of the final and funniest section of the book. Sfar's artwork looks as mangy and unkempt as the cat, with contorted figures and scribbly lines everywhere, but there's a poetic magic to it that perfectly captures this cat's-eye view of human culture and faith.
7. EPILEPTIC, David B. **
The cartoonist's memoir of growing up in a family in which his brother's grand mal epilepsy regularly took center stage is packaged here in its entirety. Although the first part of this book appeared in English in 2002, published by L'Association, there is no demarcation within the current volume to show where that break in the story occurred–nor does there need to be. David B. reports on the childhood adventures and interests he and his siblings shared–including warrior fantasies, a fascination with World War II, and drawing–and the family's increasing involvement in seeking help for coping with the epilepsy. The latter half of the complete work continues through adolescence and into manhood, including David B.'s education in art college and his founding of L'Association. His brother's failure to respond for any duration to any form of treatment or to adjust to life with a chronic disease is presented with unsentimental but humane forthrightness. The heavily inked images include many hallucinatory panels, and subplots involve the grandparents' prejudices, David's developing relationships outside the family, and his continued interest in his family. While the final difficulties revolve around the author and his inability to become a father, most of the book is both accessible and of high interest to teens.–Francisca Goldsmith, Berkeley Public Library, CA
8. THE RUNAWAYS, Brian K. Vaughan, illustrated by Adrian Alphona
This unusually clever, fun teen comic is based on the novel premise that parents don't just seem evil, they actually are evil supervillains. Or so some kids find out one night while eavesdropping on a dastardly meeting they take to be a cocktail party. Although the children are each a "type" right out of sitcom land-the goth girl, the brain, the jock, the dreamboat, the shy one-they're also fairly empathetic characters. Vaughan's closely observed dialogue lends them authenticity and pathos as they go through the disturbing realization that their parents aren't just jerks but actually mass-murderers. The plot builds from this initial discovery, as the kids band together, discover they, too, have superhuman powers and engage their parents in good, old-fashioned superhuman fisticuffs. The group goes on the run and discovers their parents have all of Los Angeles in their pockets-it's enough to make a teenager feel more alienated than ever. Alphona's dynamic, manga-influenced artwork agreeably complements Vaughan's crisp writing. They tell the story with clarity, a dollop of drama and just enough pizzazz to hook video game-obsessed readers. Packaged in a manga-size paperback, Marvel's attempt to tap both the manga and the young adult market nicely succeeds.–Publishers Weekly
9. 1001 NIGHTS OF SNOWFALL, Bill Willingham, illustrated by Charles Vess, Esao Andrews, & more **
Probably the smartest mainstream comic going, Fables usually concentrates on the contemporary activities of characters from children's stories who now are living as secret refugees in New York. This collection gives glimpses of their individual backstories before the armies of the brutal Adversary drove them out of Fairyland. Readers will learn, for example, what spoiled the Big Bad Wolf's disposition and what happened to the witch after Hansel and Gretel pushed her into the oven. It would be relatively easy to do clever, merely cynical readings of the fairy tales, but Willingham is after something much more interesting. Like Neil Gaiman and Tanith Lee, he's reimagining the old stories, trying to see why they have survived and also to point out the aspects they somehow neglect: it's only natural that Snow White would take revenge on the seven little rapists who abducted her, but the independent way she goes about it casts doubt on her subservient relationship to Prince Charming. Willingham reminds readers of how much they ignore in their anxiety to believe that all stories end happily ever after. Artists like Charles Vess, Mark Buckingham and Jill Thompson work up to the level of the perceptive scripts, making this a memorable, uncomfortably amusing treat.–Publishers Weekly
10. BUDDHA, VOLUME 1: KAPILAVASTU, Osamu Tezuka
Tezuka, the master of Japanese comics, mixes his own characters with history as deftly as he transfers the most profound, complex emotions onto extremely cartoony characters, and his work defies easy categorization. In Buddha, originally serialized in the 1970s and one of his last works, he lavishly retells the life of Siddhartha, who isn't even born until page 268. Instead, Tezuka introduces Chapra, a slave who attempts to escape his fate by posing as the son of a general; Tatta, a crazed wild child pariah who communes with animals; Chapra's slave mother, who stands by him no matter what; and Naradatta, a monk attempting to discover the meaning of strange portents of the Buddha's birth. Throughout the book, the characters engage in fresh and unexpected adventures, escapes and reverses, as they play out Tezuka's philosophical concern with overcoming fate and the uselessness of violence. Despite episodes of extreme brutality and broad humor, the core of the story revolves around various set pieces, as when Tatta sacrifices himself to a snake to save Naradatta and Chapra's mom. After a moment of intense emotion, the scene is upended by the arrival of a bandit who mocks their attempts at keeping their karmic slates clean. "Why were you all fussing over some stupid trade? Why not just kill the snake and eat it?" The answer unfolds over succeeding volumes. Heavily influenced by Walt Disney, Tezuka's often cute characters may take some getting used to, but his storytelling is strong and clean. Appearing in handsome packages designed by Chip Kidd, this is a stunning achievement.–Publishers Weekly

Campaign for 20mph Watford backed by politicians
5:30pm Thursday 22nd March 2012 in News By Mike Wright , Chief Reporter
A campaign to drop speed limits across Watford to 20mph has found unanimous backing among the borough's politicians.
At meeting of the full council on Wednesday councillors lent full-throated support to the 20's Plenty campaign and voted to take up the case with county highways bosses.
The Liberal Democrats and Green Party councillors jointly sponsored a motion saying the council will now push for the speed limit to be cut to 20mph in all "non-major" residential roads in the town.
The motion argued the move would bring a host of benefits to the town such as reducing accidents, encouraging walking and reducing emissions.
It also said that reducing the average speed from 30mph to 20mph would only increase a 15-minute journey through affected roads by one minute.
Liberal Democrat councillor Iain Sharpe put the motion to the council at yesterday's meeting saying it aimed to change the driving culture in Watford.
He said one of the barriers to creating smaller 20mph zones was the current requirement for expensive traffic calming measures like speed humps to make them self-enforcing.
Councillor Sharpe argued a blanket zone for residential roads would simply require the changing of signs.
"We are not talking about changing the physical environment," he said, "but the climate of what people think is an appropriate speed to drive at.
"Any Jeremy Clarkson fans among us can object and point to the declining number of fatalities on the on the roads. But it is among the drivers and occupants of cars as they have safety measures such as air bags, not the poor pedestrians."
The leader of the Green Party group, Councillor Steve Rackett, seconded the motion saying: "I would like to see all parties support this and for us go to county with a united stand to persuade their portfolio holder."
The move was backed by Labour, with Councillor Asif Khan saying he had friends who had lost a young child in a road accident.
He added: "It shows our intention that things like this do not happen on our roads, that's why we support this motion."
The Conservative group on the council also pledged their support to the motion.
Following the cross-party backing for the 20mph zone, Watford's elected mayor, Dorothy Thornhill, said the council had to show resolve in pushing for the policy.
She said she anticipated a negative reaction to the proposal from some quarters of the town and urged politicians to make a convincing case to residents for the speed limit cut.
"If we don't take people with us there will be a backlash," she said.
The motion was passed with an overwhelming vote of support meaning Mayor Thornhill will ask Hertfordshire County Council, which oversees highways policy, to undertake a feasibility study for the project.
