Sheldon Sheps, M.D.
Dr. Sheldon Sheps, emeritus professor of medicine and former chair of the Division of Nephrology and Hypertension in the Department of Medicine at Mayo Clinic, has been with Mayo Clinic since 1960.
Dr. Sheps, a Winnipeg, Manitoba, native, is board certified in internal medicine and specializes in hypertension and peripheral vascular diseases. He developed a multidisciplinary approach with specially trained nurses, dietitians, technicians and educators to help form a team approach to the treatment of patients with abnormal blood pressure.
"I have always believed in involving the patient and family in their health care," Dr. Sheps says. "I have asked for their understanding of the illness and issues and for participation in decisions. The Web is a natural extension of that, and now many more people can be informed."
Dr. Sheps chaired the sixth working group, and he participated in the fourth, fifth and seventh groups that developed the then-latest guidelines for hypertension under the auspices of the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI). He helped write the latest American Heart Association (AHA) report on blood pressure measurement. He chaired an AHA group that produced an online accreditation for blood pressure measurement for health professionals.
Dr. Sheps has co-authored books, newsletters, CD-ROMs and other Mayo Clinic health information material. He joined Mayo Clinic's Web team in 1998. He was medical editor-in-chief of both editions of the "Mayo Clinic on High Blood Pressure" book; the last edition was published in 2003. He was also medical editor-in-chief of "Mayo Clinic 5 Steps to Controlling High Blood Pressure," published in 2008.
In addition, Dr. Sheps was section editor for each of the first three editions of "Hypertension Primer" for the American Heart Association.
Dr. Sheps was also chairman of the Science Base Subcommittee and the National High Blood Pressure Education Program, and he was a consultant to the Hypertension Initiative of the World Health Organization. In 1997, he was honored with the Individual Achievement Award on the 25th anniversary of the National High Blood Pressure Education Program of NHLBI. In 2009, he was honored as a Distinguished Mayo Alumnus.

Foot swelling during air travel: A concern?
What causes leg and foot swelling during air travel?
from Sheldon G. Sheps, M.D.
Leg and foot swelling during air travel is common and typically harmless. The most likely culprit is inactivity during a flight. Sitting with your feet on the floor for a long period causes blood to pool in your leg veins. The position of your legs when you are seated also increases pressure in your leg veins. This contributes to foot swelling by causing fluid to leave the blood and move into the surrounding soft tissues.
To relieve foot swelling during a flight:
- Wear loosefitting clothing.
- Take a short walk every hour or so.
- Flex and extend your ankles and knees frequently while you're seated.
- Shift your position in your seat as much as possible, being careful to avoid crossing your legs.
- Drink plenty of fluids to prevent dehydration.
- Avoid alcohol and sedatives, which could make you too sleepy to walk around the cabin.
Foot swelling isn't a serious problem if it lasts only a short time. But excessive swelling that persists for several hours after you resume activity may be due to a more serious condition, such as a blood clot in the leg (deep vein thrombosis) — especially if the swelling occurs in only one leg and is accompanied by leg pain. If you experience these signs and symptoms, seek prompt medical attention.
If you're at increased risk of blood clots — because you recently had major surgery or you take birth control pills, for example — consult your doctor before flying. He or she may recommend wearing compression stockings during your flight. In some cases, the doctor may prescribe a blood-thinning medication to be taken before departure.

Hairstyles for Long Hair
It has always been obvious that long hairstyles were the most appreciated hairstyles for women as they help create a more feminine and sophisticated look.
There are a variety of hairstyles for long hair as women have different face shapes, hair types and preferences when it comes to their hairstyle. Diversity is one of the greatest things especially in hairstyling but it also makes choosing the right hairstyle much more difficult.

Is hours away from confirming who holds one of those two winning tickets and this week's massive powerball jackpot.
A news conference is gonna happen in Missouri meanwhile we are getting some clues about who the other -- -- may be as well.
Mike Tillman on that story for us live in Chicago I like this one's wedding -- Good morning I like it because usually hear about the lottery winners now -- keeping their cool talking with a lawyer talking with a financial manager and staying underground until they claim the prize.
Finally we have video of someone acting the way you would act.
If you won the big prize out of Maryland look at the video on the convenience store pay close attention to -- -- any yellow road crew gear -- -- -- with -- ticket.
Checks his numbers and starts to freak out.
He -- -- -- I wouldn't do this but he had to take it off to the Clark and other people in the store to verified that he wasn't seeing things.
And many walks out of the store still -- like he was spiking the football the people in the stores say indeed this guy had the numbers.
It couldn't believe it used synthetic one as everybody looked at checked to see whether it's seeing things and he wasn't seeing these it was the right numbers I heard you say he -- And he gave me to take it said it didn't really let them get -- -- -- -- -- with -- -- and obviously -- And drove up a lot and wrecked his car -- And -- and now live underground.
The ticket was bought in Maryland and he's got to claim -- in Arizona so presumably he's on his way back to the Grand Canyon state right.
Now wow I just love that video I love how he's walking around looking at it again walking around -- it again shows it to another percent.
I -- -- -- on did we ever see video like that in a moment that somebody is discovering.
That their numbers match up it's just it's so fun.
So what about the other winner Missouri is where that person is right -- And we should know exactly who this individual is because the Missouri lottery is gonna hold oppressor in just about two -- time that being said.
A woman claiming to be the winner's mother and up person claiming to be the winners son had -- -- speaking to local news.
And they say the winner is 52 year old mark hill at Dearborn Missouri which is just outside of Kansas City.
His wife by the way has been unemployed and had a job interview scheduled for yesterday.
He canceled she didn't she Iraq can't possibly adding that that.
Because -- It happened and possibly that's good show because -- -- claim not 385.
Million divided in half after tax and before taxes pardon me if she does the cash.
Yeah hi guys will stay tuned for that Mike thank you very lines like that -- they -- -- and anything quite give it to on the December does that number numbers not tell us army lesbian thing.

Was 2011 One of the Worst Years for the U.S. Government in American History? >
2011 Not the Very Worst, But Definitely in the Bottom 10
The polarization of political parties has reached its highest level in over a century
December 30, 2011
2011 was not literally the worst year for the U.S. government in American history. Off the top of my head, I can think of four that were worse: 1812, in which the country rushed into war on a narrow party line vote and without any military preparation; 1856, in which Rep. Preston Brooks nearly caned Sen. Charles Sumner to death on the Senate floor; 1860, during which Congress fiddled while the Union smoldered until it caught fire; and 1930, in which a short-sighted, economically illiterate Congress passed the Smoot-Hawley tariff, intensifying the Great Depression. President Hoover called the bill "vicious, extortionate, and obnoxious" days before he signed it into law, earning with the stroke of a pen the obloquy to which history consigned him.
[Check out 2011: The Year in Cartoons.]
Still, of the 223 years since the government first convened under the Constitution, 2011 must be ranked in the bottom 10. Seldom has so little progress been made on the daunting array of challenges we face. Seldom have the political parties cooperated so poorly. And never before has the full faith and credit of the United States been so recklessly jeopardized by political neophytes whose zeal so far exceeded their knowledge. By the end of 2011, public trust in government, confidence in Congress, and optimism about the future had all plunged to near-record lows.
There's a reason for this: Culminating a process stretching back four decades, the polarization between the parties reached its highest level in more than a century. A political science study found that by the end of 2010, the ideological overlap between Democrats and Republicans had disappeared in both the House and the Senate. The most conservative Democratic senator (Ben Nelson) was a tad to the left of the most liberal Republican (Olympia Snowe). No wonder party-line votes have become the new normal on important legislation, or that the Senate minority has resorted to obstruction far more often than compromise.
[See 10 Words We Learned in 2011.]
No democracy can be healthy when only 1 in 5 citizens trusts its government and only 1 in 10 has confidence in its legislature. But that's where we are today: 2011 may not have been the worst year ever, but it was bad enough. And 2012 may not be any better.

World's First Water Absorbent and Oil Repellent Polyester Fabric
Teijin Fiber Limited has announced the development of a new stain resistance polyester fabric offering both water absorption and oil repellency for the first time in the world. The water absorption would eliminate stickiness, while the oil repellency would prevent oil-based soiling. The new fabric would be marketed to be used for sportswear, uniforms as well as fashion clothing such as blouses, cut and sewn clothing, as well as slacks that require both oil repellent and sweat absorption. The currently commercially available water repellent and oil repellent fabrics have issues with breathability and texture, since the coating is applied only to the top surface of the fabric, rather than to each individual fiber.

Sunset paddleboard at Hanalei Bay
Kauai's Hanalei Bay may be one of the most magical places on the planet. I swear some of the locals start paddleboarding at sun rise and don't come back in until sundown. I've paddleboarded in calm waters, but this was my first time trying to actually surf the waves. One positive: Standing lets you see the sets roll in before the surfers see them. The highlight of my morning was watching a dad surf into the waves while his 2-year-old rode on the nose of his board. I was happy playing in head-high surf. Maybe next year I'll be ready to charge Hanalei on its big days. To see just how big the bay can get, check out this video of surf star Laird Hamilton at Hanalei: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jA05XIX7Yh0.

Nice Kitty Cat
Don't you love it when people get all upset by big cats doing what big cats do…I mean what did he think they eat…Whiskas?
Game Recipes, Ctd
I reckon a TV show where I travel the country, plus a few overseas stops looking at great game recipe, cooked by ordinary people in ordinary circumstances using tasty game animals would be great. Animals that of course had been hunted and killed by my or their own hands. Certainly no gay cookery bullshit with chefs and ponces. A show sort of like this: Meateater
Here is a recipe for Squirrel Melts, they look delicious.
Fancy some Squirrel
Quite apart from being a hard word to say, Squirrel is making a comeback in the US…on the dinner table. Heather Smith is predicting the "re-squirreling of the American diet:"
It's hard to imagine more sustainable local game — squirrels are abundant, far from endangered, and don't even require refrigeration the way that big game does. The standard rule of thumb is that one squirrel = enough meat for one dinner for one person. The squirrel is road food — the kind of prey that fed cross-country hikers, in the days before MRE's and freeze-dried lentils. Squirrel is like the drive-through cheeseburger of the forest — albeit a cheeseburger that needs to be gutted first. They're are also delicious, mostly because they eat nuts.
I found out something fascinating about squirreling firearms too:
The Kentucky Long Rifle, with its long barrel and small caliber, was designed for squirrel hunting (the smaller the caliber, the more squirrel left to take home after shooting one.)
The ideal shot was aimed not at the squirrel, but at the tree branch directly below it, so that the animal would be killed by the concussion of the bullet instead of the bullet itself.Historians say that this is what won the Revolutionary war; even the most highly trained British soldiers were no match for squirrel killers trained by hunger.
I even managed to find a few squirrel recipes including one designed for those who were watching the SuperBowl on Monday and then there is this cool video about killing Squirrel and eating it:

We sold our CA last July and moved to our home here in Texas. The home inspector did not find anything major wrong with the house so when, after moving in, we were surprised to find the tile in the upstairs bathroom cracked across the floor and the ceiling downstairs under the bathroom bulging. What would cause this and how do we fix it? Susan | |||
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but you could have some floor structure problems. Is it new construction or a very recent remodel?? You should bring in someone knowledgeable to look at it. It probably will involve opening the ceiling from the lower floor to get a look and see what is happening. Then the repairs depend on what is found. Are the tile cracks following the grout, or cutting right across the tile itself?? | ||||
Was this home vacant for awhile after you entered in the transaction and before you moved? Did the inspector include any certifications in his/her report? You may have some legal recourse. Also, you may want to contact your insurance company, but there could be an issue of coverage if it can be determined when the damage occurred and it was before you closed on the deal. Still, it's worth a try. Good luck. This must be very disappointing. | ||||
get a budget $80 color inspection camera from a Harbor Freight store or the website, use a coupon to save 20% if it's not on sale. it will do the same job as a $300 Milwaukee. cut a small hole in the ceiling below, large enough to stick the camera flex snout and a long screwdriver into. check out the floor, using the screwdriver to poke and pry a little for rot. you're going to have to take up that bathroom floor, most likely, but before you do, find out what's going on. is there a home warranty plan that came with the purchase? if so, call the 800 number and let them check it out as well. those folks will NOT reimburse anybody for anything... they have to send their guy to check it, and use their guy to fix it. this is a case where you really should walk the house with the inspector, point at stuff, and ask questions. "hey, what's with this floor? what's with this ceiling? can I poke this little toy fan in the outlets and see if they work without the plug falling out?" you can't fault the inspector for stuff that is not looked at. problem is, there are a number of them that do not have construction or remodelling experience, and unless a rat runs across their shoes and dumps one, might even miss signs of infestation. inspectors don't do a Holmes on a house, they note what they can reasonably see and rate it according to a professional checklist they get from an association. but he should have seen those issues and wondered. this might also be a case of misrepresentation of the house, which is lawyer food. carefully check the disclosure forms required of the seller and provided you from your agent. if "floor cracks" are noted, somebody should have checked that out. good luck with this. there's a project in there someplace. sig: if this is a new economy, how come they still want my old-fashioned money? | ||||

ASUS finally got generous with AMD enthusiasts seeking an avant-grade Republic of Gamers motherboard to drive the AMD Dragon platform. Enter Crosshair III. Traditionally, ASUS used the Crosshair name for high-end AMD motherboards based on NVIDIA nForce chipsets, but this time around, it will be using AMD's workhorse high-end desktop chipset: AMD 790FX coupled with SB750. The choice could have been influenced by two factors: reasonable demand for ATI Radeon graphics, and the Advanced Clock Calibration (ACC) feature vendors haven't been able to ship with nForce chipsets so far. An 8+2 phase circuit powers the AM3 socket, which supports the latest processors from AMD, that support DDR3 memory. "Only" two PCI-Express x16 slots are provided, that support ATI CrossFireX. Other feature include ROG-exclusive LCD-poster, and the iROG overclocking management system. Audio is care of an ASUS SupremeFX X-Fi audio riser. While the board just may seem a little basic compared to the M4A79T Deluxe, you have to consider the fact that it carries the "Formula" sub-branding. If ASUS wants to sell a better board, there just could be a Crosshair III Extreme in the works. ASUS may use the upcoming Computex event to launch this. It is expected to be priced around US $200. Source: Plaza.fi
Finally an AMD chipset for ROG, but it should be done with the next RD890 chipset. Anyway better late than never. The board looks OK.
This board looks good (well, a LOT better than the other AMD high end boards). Looking closer at it though i'm a bit dissapointed that it has 3x pci-e 1x slots, 1xpci and 2x pci-e 16x slots, i'd rather have had another 16x pci-e slot or another pci slot for those with a pci wireless card and a pci sound or tv tuner card and get rid of one of the pci-e x1 slots... As for the location of the CMOS battery on a board which should be used with high-end dual slot graphics cards :shadedshu ....
Must be Painful to NV to have Asus go with AMD this round on chipsets, Especially for the ROG series chipset, I suspect EVGA may eventually join in as the x58 SLI they have is an excellent choice for CFX/SLI3X. Seems NV can only sell SLI as a platform on AMD CPUs or CUDA anymore.
Yeah, the location of the Cmos battery is a bit strange, but if you look around, a lot of companies have it right under teh first PCI-e slot, or the second.. I have to take my 2nd card out whenever I overclock, so if there is a error, and I need to take that battery out, I don't have to spend 5 mins taking the card out..
The CLR button on the back of the board works, you will not need to remove BAT, at least with the Crosshair II, I never had to.
It's a maybe on the thing... When you oc a processor to high, to where the bios deson't want to do a thing.. You'd have to take out the battery to reset it all.. Yeah, the Clear cmos button is additive to not have to do it, but it doesn't all ways go as planned.. I got stuck for teh first time with my 780i board last week. Was trying to hit 5ghz and bios wouldn't do a thing. Cmos button wouldn't clear it, so the battery was needed to be taken out..
Man I know what you mean , but as I said, I never needed, but in that case it's not a problem, the board it's on top of the desk, lol.
Yeah, I've only had to remove the battery once on this board myself.. Just because I forgot to up the cpu volts from teh start.. lol.. But, the board does look good to think about soemthing AMD this time. I knew there was a reason I was sitting by to build a AM3 rig.. Even that MSI board is looking sweet... But, Gotta wait! lol
Wow its about freaking time. I want one of these, extreme version and also one with the RD890 when it comes out! Looks freaking sweet!
The CLR CMOS button or Jumper does the exact same thing as removing the bettery, it cuts power to the CMOS which causes it to go blank. Blank CMOS means the BIOS uses default settings. On modern boards, you should never need to pull the battery, either use the button, or if the board doesn't have a button use the jumper. And you have to remember to cut power to the board, and hold the button down for 10 seconds, or move the jumper over for 10 seconds.

To start with the room: Way to small for three People. There was not even enough space to open a baggage, not to speak of any place of storage. Not the cleanest maids. The staff at the reception is not very helpful, expect one Girl, who really helped us and was always friendly. But the thing which annoyed us the most: The Restaurant/Bar. Three out of four days we wanted to drink something there, but the waitress just ignored us, even so we were saying hi.

"A man can be happy with any woman as long as he does not love her."
Oscar Wilde
Gosh I hate it when people split apart posts to respond to them, but this is so lengthy I feel like its necessary.
This is one of the trickiest aspects of the justice league moviehow does batman fit in? Youve got an alien who has the powers of a god, a cosmic cop, an Amazonian warrior, a man who is part machine, a man who can move so fast that time might as well be standing still, etc. Youd almost have to have batman be an exclusively behind-the-scenes character.Nolan has turned Batman into a bigger success than he ever was before bringing in not only the dollars, but also praise from serious movie critics and Oscar awards for acting. The trick for WB now is to reboot the Batman franchise within the context of a shared universe (which is thankfully possible now that the sole obstacle to it, Christopher Nolan, is no longer directing Batman). WB is trying to figure out how to include Batman in the Justice League without killing the success Nolan brought them with his take on Batman.
Batman works as a member of the JL in the comics because the campy nature of comics allow for him to fit in while the reader still takes it seriously. Lets face it, Batman at WB right now is all about nolans dark/realistic vision for the character, and if they still dont even know how to make robinwho is just another plain old human beingwork on screen, how is it going to look when hes standing next to the rest of the very colorful justice league? Its a really tough sell and though I do believe it could be possible, its a really long shot, and part of the reason I think JL is the hardest DC concept to put on screen (of the mainstream ones obviously.)
I think marvel is much more heavily invested in creating synergy between the movies and comics than DC has a history of doing. Yeah, obviously some of the aesthetic changes of the new 52 could be hints, but from everything weve heard from the creators, theyve had a lot of say in what happens. Grant Morrison on action comics for instance said DC let him do whatever he wanted with the character, he just had to end up with the armored costume.It is all up in the air. They could decide that because of GL's box office that it is too big a risk and just back-burner JL again in favor of a Batman reboot. But the comics almost always follow the film and that's because the movies make so much more money. (More on that last detail in the next portion of my post.) Ergo, what we're seeing with the relatively new DC Entertainment and the New 52 reflects key elements (not all, but many) of what WB would like to exploit in TV and film. Marvel has done this for over a decade with their comics reflecting changes made to the movies, especially costumes. Nick Fury is apparently now going to have a black son in their main universe to reflect Jackson's movie version of Nick Fury.
Look for clues to what WB wants to do in the DCnU relaunch. Some elements of what WB would like to see will be reflected in the comics for marketing purposes (which is also what they did when they changed Superman's costume in 1997 to match Tim Burton's aborted film).
If they were really aiming for synergy, I think youd see more Nolan influence in the batman comics with the reboot, and that isnt the case. Morrison put in a scarred joker because he was apparently a fan of the movie, but that isnt even something that carried over in the reboot.

I don't think it's marvel that set the pace for that, it was the big name cast of the original donner movie. That is what established the popularity of having big name actors to portray these very big mythologies. That didn't stop WB from casting a bunch of very young actors for justice league mortal, some of them with questionable talent.As far as casting Wonder Woman...it's a different regime at WB now. More importantly, Marvel has set the pace as far as superheroes go. You'll get a decent actress this time and most likely an unknown like Christopher Reeve was.
That's my problem with the shared universe approach. I want to see WB picking the best pitches, not picking workhorses to carry out their studio vision, a vision that in the last couple years has appeared to be a lot like marvel's. By far the highest quality superhero movies we've gotten have come from people passionate about their vision of whatever character they're working on.As for Bale, the new Batman actor who fits in with a potential shared DC movie universe can easily transition to work with whatever director they choose to reboot the individual Batman films.
I'm happy for the marvel fans that are pleased with marvel's movieverse so far, and I've enjoyed the movies myself, but only because they aren't characters that I really care about like DC's are. I would overall be very unhappy with the quality of product were DC's heroes to switch places with marvel's.
I think they're already doing this by making higher quality movies than marvel. You talk about the big bucks that the studios are after, but I'm telling you, there's no way avengers comes close to the dark knight rises' worldwide gross. You make the big bucks by making the best movies, and the best movies come from the best directors, and the best directors aren't going to thrive under studio mandate.The central quandary WB is wrestling with now is whether or not to go ahead with Justice League, and if so, how to do it successfully. If their team can figure out a way to do it, they absolutely will. Why? $$$$--and also to counter criticism rife in Hollywood and amongst the public that they "can't" do it. Corporate executives are viciously competitive and the moment you tell them they can't do something or that only Marvel can do it, you're pretty much daring them to do it. Most of the time, studio egos will take that bet if only to prove their detractors wrong and win the fight.
I really hope the question they're asking themselves after more careful consideration is—should this be done?Robinov wants a Justice League movie. He has gone to his team to figure out *if* it can be done. Diane Nelson and Geoff Johns have input into that; they're on WB's team. I don't believe for a second that any of them don't think they can do it; they're just trying to figure out how to do for DC what Marvel has done for themselves. More importantly, the L.A. Times has done very high profile interviews with Robinov, Nelson and Johns who have gone on record saying they want to do more DC movies and have success like Marvel has.
I don't see any of these people quitting or giving up. They want this and they are trying their damnedest to figure out how to pull it off.
I don't think you would see much of a difference in box office totals had the movies been in separate universes. In fact, I think captain America and thor would have done even better had they been allowed to have their own unique tone and vision. There's already enough criticism about the similarities between comic movies that it isn't going to help avoid audience fatigue by giving them all the same tone and interlacing plot lines. One of the biggest flaws of Iron man 2 is the increase in screen time that avengers references saw in place of focusing on making iron man as interesting as possible.The original Justice League script you're referring to was developed pre-RDJ Iron Man and pre-Marvel shared universe movies. Marvel changed the game. They have had huge box office hits scoring hundreds of millions of dollars with their shared universe movies. Now WB wants in on that action. The JLA Mortal project was created in 2007 and died in 2008 right before Iron Man came out. RDJ's unprecedented success in the role, all the money Marvel made and how audiences bought into the shared universe concept changed everything.
You can see from any site that gauges audience reaction to movies that there was somewhat less excitement overall from 2011's superhero offerings.

Thor looks like something out of a Renaissance Fair, and Iron Man is basically a robot. They're no less garish than Flash. Really, in a Flash movie, all he needs to start out with is a specialized track and field outfit and explain how it makes him resistant to friction. It's not that hard.
"A man can be happy with any woman as long as he does not love her."
Oscar Wilde
My point wasn't to debate the hypothetical success of a movie that never was, but to criticize the processes that would become necessary were a shared universe to actually occur. It would be mandate before ideas and creativity. The more freedom the cast and crew have, the more likely you are to end up with a better product.Bad argument. The reality is, if JL Mortal had come out and bombed, it would be treated like Singer's Superman and promptly buried forever.
Now, if it had been a hit? You've got a different set of circumstances. Then, yes, they would've done like Fox did with Daredevil (and hoped to do with FF): spinoff movies (like Elektra and the aborted Silver Surfer project). But the fact is, it never happened.
Robinov is the head of Warner Brothers with, as L.A. Times stated, "ultimate say" to make a movie happen. And he shocked everyone by going on record with his desire to do a Justice League movie. You're using what-ifs to make your case instead of using the facts--and the fact is, Robinov wants this. His team of executives is trying to figure out how to do this. The only way it's not happening is if they all put their heads together and come to the same conclusion, "No, Jeff, this isn't working. We can't find a way to do this that would guarantee minimal success. Let it go and just stick with Superman and Batman."
And yes, robinov wants a justice league movie, but that doesn't mean it's a good idea, or that they haven't already uncovered a superior way of approaching these movies with the dark knight trilogy.
I'm not saying it can't be done, only that individual universes are superior in almost every way to a shared universe.Using the what-ifs you're using, Marvel would have stopped trying to get movies made 20 years ago after FOUR humongous bombs and colossal failures: Lundgren's Punisher, Corman's FF, Salinger's Captain America, James Cameron's Spider-Man. They didn't. They kept trying.
If your case is that a Justice League movie can't be done for the reasons you've stated or in the way you've stated, that isn't going to stop them from trying. Just the opposite--and Marvel's continuing success as a box office juggernaut is why. As a matter of fact, the more Marvel movies we get? The more WB (and others) get green with envy and try to copy what they've done.
WB may have put on a happy face for green lantern press, but the critical reception and the box office numbers say that there is little to no chance we'll see green lantern 2. Had the original been a success, I'm sure we would have heard all about flash by now, but unfortunately it wasn't. We've heard nothing but silence from WB since GL's release, and you have to wonder if maybe some strategies aren't changing behind the scenes. Production should be gearing up right now for a 2014 DC movie, yet we've heard nothing at all.The Avengers movie and its likely success is going to embolden WB to make Justice League, not dissuade them. They certainly won't do Wonder Woman first; it's too risky and they've never been able to figure out how to do it. Flash has a very outside chance as an Iron Man/Thor/Cap-type of bridge to a Justice League movie *if* WB decides to follow the Marvel model. There is a very credible argument to be made for a Flash movie as a lead-in to a JL movie instead of using GL2 for that.
I don't believe memento or insomnia were huge box office hits, though I could be wrong.But the only way it's going to be WW is if Nicholas Refn has a huge box office hit with his next film and then champions his idea for a WW project. That's the only real shot WW has right now; it's probably going to be GL2 or Flash.

I wasnt talking about the difficulty in getting a movie greenlit, I was referring to the difficulty in producing something classic on screen. A female heroine has been done successfully before with the examples youve mentioned, and so has greek mythology, but a superhero team has never been done before the avengers. And I would argue that avengers is probably going to be fun, but people wont remember it over movies like the dark knight.You are dead wrong on Wonder Woman. History itself proves you wrong.
Joel Silver has fought valiantly to try and get WW made for over a decade, if not more. The list of directors who want to work on WW is probably in the single digits--and most of them are men who don't hold exactly enlightened views on sexy female leads. Sexism and misogyny are rife in Hollywood and claiming otherwise is delusional. Yes, there are exceptions to this. But the cold hard truth is that female-led action pics & superhero pics have a pretty bad history on the silver screen. People need to stop pointing at Sigourney Weaver, Linda Hamilton, Milla Jovovich and Angelina Jolie and claiming it's easy to make a good WW movie. Weaver and Hamilton aren't doing summer blockbusters anymore. Jovovich is stuck in the Resident Evil ghetto and those films don't do Marvel movie numbers. Jolie is pushing 40 and wants to direct and act in dramas. Those aren't stellar cases for a WW movie.
Failed movies don't kill popular properties. They can and sometimes do kill the careers of those who star in them. But DC characters aren't forever doomed to never be box office hits because some movies fail. If that were the case, then someone tell Joel Schumacher and George Clooney that they killed the Batman movie business forever. Last time I checked? They hadn't.
Batman are superman are more resilient, but give us a goofy aquaman, wonder woman, and martian manhunter on screen, and Id be surprised if they ever get their own movies. Id be surprised if we see another green lantern movie in the next 20 years.

Tentpoles arent the only movies that are profitable. Profit margin is the most important aspect. A 10 million dollar movie that makes 100 million at the box office Is a bigger success than say, green lantern, and far less of a risk.WB isn't going to do these movies if they aren't tentpoles and that's because they have profit goals set for them that they have to meet. You meet your projected profits by creating blockbusters with tons of ancillary merchandise, licensing, VOD and, yes, a shrinking DVD market that is still part of the profit picture. You want small and intimate superhero movies? Try telling Disney and Marvel that; it is so not going to happen.
If you dont want audiences to get sick of superhero movies, you have to embrace their versatility and let them naturally branch out into different genres.
I personally have zero interest in seeing a tv show featuring DC characters, unless youre talking a big budget HBO one, which would only happen If it were something like batman, who belongs on the silver screen.Marvel's newfound success as a box office juggernaut in the past decade has turned summer blockbusters on their head by making superhero movies a permanent part of the movie business model. In a way, Marvel is a victim of its own success. It would be very difficult, if not impossible to make a film like 1998's Blade now. Way too much is riding on superhero movies. Hollywood has seen what future cash cows can be made into movie theater hamburgers and they are comic book superheroes. Now, you'll get your occasional Vertigo pic like V For Vendetta, A History Of Violence or Road To Perdition--but those are prestige projects with cult favorites or literary graphic novels.
If you want to ever see a Green Arrow movie or a Booster Gold movie? Make sure to support the new GA and Booster TV series that are on their way and hope they're big hits. If they are, then they'll probably move up on the list of new products that will eventually get shoved into theaters for the masses.
But from here on out, it's going to usually be big budgets for superhero flicks with tons of merchandise on the side. Love it or hate it, DC and Marvel movies are just like the comic books: it's all about the money.
I reject the notion that tv and tent pole are the only two options for superheroes. That attitude is going to pigeonhole the genre and burn it out very quickly.

Which tells you next to nothing about his screen time. Nick Fury and Hill probably didn't spend as much time with IronMan, Thor, Cap, and Hulk either but we know they have parts to play in this film as well. Your reaching.
No, it wasn't you assumed that to be so. I already posted what the delusional comment was towards. You are just being defensive because Marvel is kick DC A&^ in the film department.
You keep thinking that. Dark Knight wasn't without it's flaws and DC's one good film compared to several good Marvels means close to nothing in the grand scheme of things.
That's just it you don't Einstein. The costume would probably have to be updated for it ever to be functional.
Ironman and Thor don't wear costumes in their films. Cap's works do to it being modernized to fit his military background. The current Cap suit isn't the greatest thing ever but even that will work because of Cap having a successful film before the new costume debts.
Still doesn't change the fact that his death brought more viewers. That's not a sign of true quality.
Your argument falls apart with the fact that those movies would have sold as many tickets if the movies actually sucked as bad as you say. They sure wouldn't have made more money then the movies I mentioned if they where better either.
If Daredevil didn't work there would not have been an Elektra. Elektra didn't work but neither did Steel. If Ghost Rider didn't work there would not have been a Ghost Rider 2. FF also got a squeal there smarty. Movie executes don't waste money on things that don't work. Something about loosing money on lost causes is off putting. You know sorta like the idea of Green Lantern 2.
Probably will and while they do Marvel will continue to further expanding it's brand
All those movies were terrible and they aren't related to the same continuity we are talking about. Why bring up bad films that have nothing to do with what we are discussing to "help" your argument? Makes you look silly.
You Mad ?

I'm helping a less-technical friend with an issue on her older Thinkpad, which she was given by a boss. Before I ask any specific questions though, I obviously need to know which model she has so that I can post to the right category. I'm not very familiar with Thinkpads myself so forgive my questions. (I have looked in the FAQ but didn't see what I need there.)
I asked her the model number and she found this on the computer:
Type 2373 - 7CU S/N [deleted for privacy]
I googled a bit but Type 2373 does not appear to be a model number because I've found T40, T41 and T42 (at least) that all indicate Type 2373. T40, T41 and T42 are model numbers, right? How do I get the model number from the information I've provided? Or do I need more information, like a serial number? I'll be seeing her tomorrow and can gather anything I need at that point. She says the laptop has an IBM logo, not a Lenovo logo, so I assume this is a fairly old model, dating back before IBM sold off its PC hardware business.
Also, may I suggest that determining what model you have should be added to the FAQ? It seems like a very fundamental thing that you absolutely have to know to get any further information.
Also, may I request that this post NOT be moved to a more appropriate place (if there is one) until I've had a chance to read the answer to my question, otherwise I may not find it. I'll acknowledge the answer when I see it so you know it's safe to move it to the proper place.
Solved! Go to Solution.
P M 1.5GHz, 256MB RAM, 40GB 5400rpm HDD, 14.1 XGA(1024x768) TFT LCD, 32MB ATI Radeon 7500, 16x10x24x/8x CD-RW/DVD(slim), Modem(CDC), Ethernet(LOM), Wireless upgradeable, Secure Chip(TCPA), UltraNav, 6 cell battery, WinXP Pro
On every Thinkpad I've seen, the model number is printed on the screen bezel, lower right corner, on the inside of the hinge. I just checked on Google Images, and it seems the T40-series used this same design, so are you sure it doesn't say that right there?
It's possible that you're right PoPSICLe, I don't have the laptop in front of me. I'm helping a friend who is less technical than I am and she lives a couple of kilometers away. Also, she is legally blind -she has some sight but not that much - and it may not have occurred to her to look at the area you describe. (I didn't know the model number could be found there so I didn't suggest it myself.) I'll be seeing her in about an hour so I'll look for it then.
I just wanted to ask a question about the laptop before I saw her.
Thanks very much for that Bill!
Do you have any idea what "wireless upgradeable" means? I'm not sure if it means that it has wireless already which can be upgraded to be better wireless somehow (maybe going from "B" class to "G" class?) or whether it means that it can be upgraded to support wireless.
I'm helping a sight-impaired less-technical friend who owns a Thinkpad T40 (2373-7CU) with an issue.
She has inherited this computer from her office and has been told it doesn't have wireless capability. I'm not clear whether it never had wireless capability or if it once had wireless and the card was removed (or has failed). I understand that this laptop was "wireless upgradeable" when it was new but I don't know if that means that it was capabie of being upgraded so that it had a wireless card or if it had wireless which could be upgraded to make it better (perhaps upgrade it from "B" class to "G" class wireless?).
Can anyone tell me if this machine should already have wireless capability or not? If it doesn't, what needs to be done to make it wireless? I did some googling and found an article describing the technique for installing a wireless card and antenna but it sounded very daunting, requiring major disassembly of the computer into over 50 parts. Am I really looking at something like that if the wireless card and antenna is missing from the unit? If not, is there an easy way to get an internal wireless card into this machine? Or am I better to go with an external wireless card?
Obviously, the internal card is more convenient but I don't want to break her laptop. I have put internal cards in desktops before and found it pretty straightforward but have never mucked around in a laptop so I'm not particularily confident of my abilities to successfully install an internal card in a laptop if it involves major disaassembly.
Hi Terry,
"Wireless upgradeable" means the machine doesn't come with a wireless card, though antennas are placed in there for you to upgrade to one in future. Also, ThinkPads only accept lenovo approved cards, you can find them on eBay or can also be bought from IBM Maintenance parts. Installation instructions cane found in the HMM.
T40 supports following cards:-
ThinkPad Dual-Band 11a/b Wi-Fi Wireless Mini PCI Adapter
Cisco Aironet Wireless 802.11b
Intel PRO/Wireless LAN 2100 3B Mini
Hope this helps.

That helps a great deal, Maliha! Thank you!
Do you have any thoughts on whether I'd be better to track down one of the three cards you've identified or simply use an external wireless card, like one of those that just go into the USB port?"
I'm guessing that those three internal cards may be difficult to find and/or expensive and/or tricky to install - I haven't looked at your links yet although I will - so maybe an external card will be less hassle overall....
If my friend goes for the external card, are there any limitations she should know about, such as an external card would be slower than an internal card?
I've used external and internal cards on a notebook, to be honest I haven't found any difference. But external cards have slight advantage on old notebooks i.e. you can buy the latest N wireless adapter to go with your N router, the wireless speed is to be amazing this way, something you can't do with an internal card on T40.
The internal card for T40 is easily available on eBay, though.

Exactly! I helped her buy a modem/router combination today and it has wireless N. If she gets a good external card that also has wireless N, she should get great speeds.
The only thing I'm not sure about is what level of USB she has and whether that would affect the situation. If her T40 is old enough to only have USB 1.0 or 1.1, that's going to slow the wireless card down significantly, right? Or would a wireless N card still work just fine with USB 1.x?

What was I confused about? Read what I posted in the Q%A section a few minutes a go.
Rae of Sunshine wrote:Ok so since this is my first con, I'm a little confused about preregistration. I've already preregistered, but I don't understand how it works.
"Badges are not mailed; will be available for pick up at the convention during the hours that the registration desk is open."
(That is all it said on the main site)
The badges are kinda like our ticket proving that we paid right? That what I've assumed.
What are the hours that the registration desk is open? I saw the con schedual but I didn't see it on there.
I only need to know the hours for saturday, since thats the only day I'm going.
We don't need to be there right away right? Because I doubt We'll be able to make it by 9 am. I'm definitly not a morning person, and one of my other friends thats coming with us it even worse. I'd rather try to wake up a dog with rabies, than her. Trust me, its scary.
I think that there should be more information on the site about preregistration for next year, such as the things I asked about. Not all of us have done this before, so we don't know how it works. There should be more information ahead of time, or even on the con schedual, to avoid confusing any more of us con-virgins. We don't all have friends that have been to cons before to tell us what to do.
Also it it would be nice to mention where the registration desk is.
It would be much appreciated. Thank you.

Let's be realistic. "Legend" is a sci-fi genre movie, at least on the surface, and it is difficult for actors to break through with the academy in this type of film.
- Bio | E-mail | Recent columns
Certainly the box office numbers, which far exceeded industry expectations, will catch the eye of the industry.
But the academy's actors branch, the one that nominates, is the least likely to give much heft to theatrical receipts.
In fact, the actors branch is more notorious for rewarding little-seen performances in box office also-rans.
Warners, as we previously noted, has created a targeted campaign for Smith's work in the film, one that included a packed and very well-received session with the star for the Screen Actors Guild nominating committee Dec. 1.
Studio campaigners were so eager to have Smith's work seen by the group as soon as possible that the event unspooled with a wet print fresh from the lab.
There have also been a few trade ads touting Smith's performance. However, piracy concerns and "Legend's" mid-December release date have kept the studio from sending out DVD screeners to awards groups, including the academy, at least so far.
Smith is not alone in being unavailable on DVD in academy members' homes.
Screeners for another actor contender, Johnny Depp in "Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street," have yet to be mailed to the academy's actors branch and most likely won't until January.
Meanwhile, Daniel Day Lewis' performance in "There Will Be Blood" just landed in academy mail slots this weekend.
Obviously, all of the studios with legitimate contenders are hoping academy members will actually find the time to watch these films on the big screen. However, a surprising number of voters say they catch the films only at home now.
If voters are inclined to pop a "Legend" DVD into the player, it could be because of the early word-of-mouth about the rigors of Smith's performance. In appearances for the movie Smith often mentions that he is alone on screen or opposite a dog for nearly an hour.
That's an acting challenge that resonates with the acting branch, whose members certainly know how difficult it is to pull off.
Some critics are even throwing around the words "Oscar worthy" and "Tour de Force." (However, "Legend's" Rotten Tomatoes rating just barely broke into the "fresh" from "rotten" category with 61% positive reviews. Metacritic is slightly more favorable with 66% generally favorable reviews.)
Smith has also noted publicly that the film is unique in that it was purposely designed to be a hybrid of a summer action-type blockbuster and a more thoughtful, serious drama normally found in the fall. The gravity of the movie's theme explains why there is any Oscar talk at all.
Smith is clearly liked by the academy with previous nominations for "Ali" and last year's "The Pursuit Of Happyness." But the challenge of getting often snobbish voters to see his latest, and maybe -- considering the pure acting challenges -- greatest, is daunting despite the box office glory.
If Warners amps up its campaign even more, perhaps Smith can pull off a hat trick.
Considering this weekend's box office and that Will Smith is now arguably the world's No. 1 movie star, we wouldn't be surprised to see the studio throw increasing academy campaign dollars behind the film.
But time is running out. If Smith can pull off a nomination in this genre, at this late date and against incredibly stiff competition, he really does deserve to be called "Legend."

FACT: 75% of NJ Gun Crimes come from guns brought in by our neighboring states with weak gun laws.…Read MoreN J already has a Background Check System. National Law would not change the process for NJ law abiding gun owners. We are already doing it. What National Law will do is have the rest of the nation adhere to the same rules we already have in place. It will reduce the guns trafficked in to NJ cities by our neighbors with loose laws and also close the gun show and internet loopholes where 40% of guns are sold. Terrorists, criminals, domestic abusers and the dangerously mentally ill go to those sources to get guns because they are not asked for any background check. Less guns in dangerous hands is less crime in our cities which saves us money and also helps reduce guns in the hands of dangerous people. It's a no brainer for NJ. Let the country follow our good example as aside from the our cities that we can't control because of trafficking, we do have one of the lowest suicide rates and child death rates as well as accidental gun death. Which is great. It's not about gun control it is simply common sense stuff that is reasonable and will save lives. It is not black and white - there is a lot of grey that we can all agree on.

There are some fallacies in your statements pertaining to statistics. The Background Check System…Read Morein New Jersey is an example of what NOT to do. The reason 75% of the guns come from other neighboring states is because guns owners (sadly) are damn near nonexistent in the Peoples Republic of NJ. YET our violent crime rate is higher? I'm glad those percentages based on false protection help you sleep at night, but the fact of the matter is PRNJ is a haven for criminals due to the Draconian gun laws. When will the liberal sheeple finally realize criminals don't follow the rules regardless of how many of them they are. They will go through the same means to get the gun (Just as you stated) and will be able to victimize a defenseless population. Defenseless due to all the government road blocks involved in the process of getting a firearm. The policies installed in this state are ILLEGAL under federal law and should not be ANOTHER idea shoved down the throats of poor citizens of the respectable states in this country.

Why is it so hard to keep a place or a room free of clutter? Why do empty surfaces fill up with clutter, instantly? Why do items start to gather at the very places we've just cleaned a moment ago, as if moved by a ghost's hand?
It's about more than just clearing and cleaning.
When we clean places up, we want to believe we're creating free space. However, we're just creating a vacuum. What's the difference? »

What Makes an Ad Successful?
With over 30 years of experience in the industry, John Adams shares what it takes to make a great Super Bowl advertisement
- By Megan Gambino
- Smithsonian.com, January 27, 2012, Subscribe
The Martin Agency, based in Richmond, Virginia, has a knack for creating memorable ad campaigns. In the late 1960s, the group coined the now-famous tourism slogan, "Virginia is for lovers." More recently, the ad shop has created the Geico gecko, Freecreditreport.com's catchy jingles about the repercussions of not knowing your credit score and "Peggy," the worthless (and despite the name, male) customer service agent of its Discover Card commercials.
In advance of the 2012 Super Bowl on February 5, and the inevitable buzz over its commercials, I spoke with the agency's chairman and chief executive officer, John Adams. An adviser to the National Museum of American History's "American Enterprise" exhibition, slated to open in 2015, Adams reflects on past Super Bowl ads and his agency's creative process, now and into the future.
When it comes to the Super Bowl, many people anticipate the commercials more than the actual game. I imagine you watch with particular scrutiny. What is it like watching the Super Bowl with you?
We will occasionally invite people from the company to come to a Super Bowl watching party. It really is funny because all of the conversation goes on during the game and then everyone gets quiet during the commercial breaks.
The Super Bowl is a unique venue. I think the entertainment value, the distinctiveness, the breakthrough value of the commercials is dialed up a lot. USA Today comes out the day after the Super Bowl and ranks the commercials. There is a lot of editorial comment about the commercials. It is just different from doing a regular television commercial. There is a good side to that, which is that the commercials tend to be quite entertaining, and then there is a downside, which is that for so many advertisers the entertainment value can sometimes outpace the practical value.
This year, the price for 30 seconds is reportedly about $3.5 million. Is it worth it?
In general, I would say, yes, it is a good deal—if you look at the cost per 1,000 people reached. Last year, the Super Bowl set a new record for viewership. It was almost 163 million people.
Now, having said that, we have to put the specific cost of that one television opportunity within the context of the budget of a brand. So, if that cost is 5 percent of your budget, then that is a pretty good buy, because you are not putting too many chips on this one commercial. If however, it is 30 percent of your budget, then that is a big bet. During the dotcom boom, there were some Internet companies that almost bet the farm on a single Super Bowl exposure. In one or two cases, it worked. In most cases, it did not, because it wasn't enough to really launch a company and to develop fascination with a new idea.
Last year, the Martin Agency created a 30-second pre-game spot for Living Social. How long did the agency have to make it? And can you take us through the process?
Looking back on it, it is hard to imagine. We had 18 days to put that together. When we began working for Living Social and the timing of their thought process and decision making about whether to run in the Super Bowl resulted in an outrageously compressed time frame. It was completely and utterly atypical for any commercial, let alone a Super Bowl commercial. The time that one typically is looking at for the development, approval and production of a television commercial is somewhere between 7 weeks to 10 or 11 weeks.
But, we went through the typical process. A message goal is set for the commercial, and that is done in collaboration with a client. Very often these days the goal is "I want to be more noticed. I want to be ranked highly in the polls. I want to be one that people talk about." Once the goal is established, then a communications strategy is established. In order to achieve that goal, to whom do we need to direct the commercial? What target audience? Of course, the Super Bowl audience is so huge that it encompasses just about any target audience. And within that target audience, what is the behavior or attitude change that we want to make for the individual?
From there, a writer and an art director are charged with coming up with a creative idea that is responsive to that strategy and that is compelling and that has a style and tone that is reflective of the personality of the brand being advertised. That idea has to be inextricably connected to a particular brand. We have all had the experience of recounting a television commercial that we liked, but we can't remember who it was for. That is a failure. Once the idea is submitted and approved, then production begins. The stages in production are casting, location scouting, filming, editing, voice over and all the things that go into that.
One thing that a good Super Bowl commercial can do, I realize, is recast a brand's image. Is there a commercial that comes to mind that best accomplished this?
I think there are two. One is the commercial titled "1984," which was done for Apple computer in the Super Bowl that year. All the things that are suggested by that commercial had a dramatic impact on the emerging view of Apple. It was less a question of changing and it was more a question of pronouncing and demonstrating an attitude or ethos of that company. This is a computer that is for people who aren't going to just march along with the crowd.

Well…now isn't this an interesting turn of events?
As we reported last week (read about it HERE), Christina Aguilera filed for divorce from her husband, Jordan Bratman. Since the separating and the divorce papers flying began, so have rumors about Aguilera's infidelity.
And now the spotlight is being turned to her relationship with Lindsay Lohan's ex-girlfriend and lover, DJ Samantha Ronson.
Via Too Fab:
"Christina's been friends with Sam for a while, like they all went to Cabo in September with Nicole Richie, but they were hanging out a lot more in recent months, and they created a new posse of girls that Christina hung out with, so it started to be really frustrating for Jordan, that she had this relationship with these girls, but particularly this close one with Sam. Jordan was feeling less than a man. It seemed like she was more interested in hanging out with Sam than him. This had been going on for several months."
Dear lords of gossip, PLEASE let this be true! You and I both know that Lindsay Lohan is about to crank out and go buck wild on Aguilera and Ronson if there is any truth to this. She's probably orchestrating her break from the Betty Ford Clinic right now. She's grabbed her smokes and a pair of Uggs and is heading for the nearest empty car.

Rainy Weather Continues to Plague the Region
Adam Frenier Download:
Bradley International Airport in Connecticut received more than 10 and a half inches of rain during the month of June, which is more than six inches beyond normal levels for this time of year. Kim Buttrick is a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Taunton, Massachusetts. She says a trough,
or a dip in the jet stream is responsible for New England's unsettled weather conditions.
"It's basically keeping our pattern active and rainy, where we've had showers, we've had the thunderstorms, and we really haven't been able to get into a real change in the weather pattern. It looks to be the same for the next couple days and through the weekend."
While larger waterways such as the Connecticut River are not near flood stage, Buttrick says heavy rains make flash flooding a greater concern.
"If a thunderstorm were to deposit two inches in an hour, or even more than that in an hour, that could lead to urban flooding but small stream flooding as well."
The average rainfall for July at Bradley is about four inches. Meanwhile, the wet and sometimes stormy conditions have not yet had a major impact on the regions utilities. Western Mass. Electric says the weather has not caused an increased amount of power outages. They say they are prepared should thunderstorms or wind gusts knock out power.
