The AluPen Pro is a combo ballpoint pen and rubber tipped stylus. The product comes with a replaceable tip for when the little rubber bubble wears out. Also has a small carrying case to protect the stylus and keep it from scratching anything in a bag.
The device is made of aluminum and has sort of a pencil design for easier grip. The AluPen has a MSPR of $39.95 and appears to be retailing for around $30.

The Highway from Just Mobile is a 2.1 amp car charger for Apple's mobile devices. The charger has a standard car accessory plug and a USB charging port. It comes with a coiled 30-pin cable to charge iPhone, iPads, and iPods. Since the power plug is a USB port, any cable can be used for charging including non-Apple accessories. The charger also contains a fuse for surge protection and a small LED indicator.
The key feature here is the 2.1 amp output which will charge an iPad in a reasonable amount of time. Most lower output charger would probably no charge the iPad with the screen in use and certainly would take a long time to charge otherwise.
The Just Mobile Highway charger has an MSRP of $34.95

The Orange County Register
625 N. Grand Avenue
Santa Ana, CA 92701
An Anaheim technology company and its top executive have won $1.56 million in an Internet defamation case that illustrates the potential seriousness of false information put online.
Such cases may be a backlash to people who like to vent online., hitting such online commenters in the wallet if they can't prove their rants.
An Orange County Superior Court jury on April 30 awarded actual and punitive damages to mLogica Inc., a business applications and database software developer, and Amit Okhandiar, the company's president and CEO.
The dollar amounts are unusually large, according to attorney Aaron Morris of Morris & Stone LLP in Tustin, who represented mLogica and Okhandiar. The breakdown of the award is $492,000 in past economic damages, $738,000 in future economic losses, $282,000 to Okhandiar for additional and punitive damages and $50,000 to mLogica for loss of reputation.
In addition, the court issued an injunction prohibiting the defendant, Pankaj Karan, from repeating libels against mLogica and Okhandiar. Karan is a doctor who lives in Anaheim Hills and is medical director at Valley Aesthetics and Laser and at Greater Valley Physicians Group in Hacienda Heights.
Karan's attorney, Randy Catanese of Catanese & Wells in Westlake Village, said he will ask the judge to set aside the jury verdict and if that is denied, the case will be appealed, in part because the judge denied the defendant's assertion that this was free speech protected by the First Amendment.
MLogica attorney Morris said that this case illustrates that juries understand the damage that can be done by Internet writing.
"The Internet is the wild West," said Morris. "It is not a good thing that people create so much falsity that is shot around the world with a few keystrokes. It's hard to unring the bell."
Karan was starting a business and hired a company in India owned by Okhandiar to create some custom software. Morris said the software was delivered on time, but a dispute arose. The lawsuit said that in 2008, Karan started attacking mLogica, which wasn't involved in the issue, and "stated in one email that he would 'work night and day to inflict the maximum amount of financial pain' on mLogica."
According to the lawsuit, Karan on his blog accused Okhandiar and/or mLogica of never paying vendors, of "unscrupulous, unethical and illegal business conduct," and of cheating and siphoning money from people they did business with.
Karan also emailed these allegations to mLogica's clients and business partners using a list illegally obtained from the company, the lawsuit says.
During the jury trial, Morris said, Karan under oath could not identify even one unpaid vendor or defrauded customer. (In regular lawsuits, the burden of proof is on the plaintiff, but in defamation cases, the defendant must prove the validity of his statements.)
The emails damaged mLogica so much that major projects it was working on were cut off and the company had to lay off employees, Morris said.
The company has approximately 50 employees and contractors.
"People stopped returning (mLogica's) calls; it killed a valuable pipeline leading to big deals," Morris said. "I told jurors that if someone said their accountant was a crook, they might ignore it because they never had any trouble with him, but they also might not refer him to others because any future problem might make them liable. That's what's so damaging about these Internet defamation cases.
"This case stands out due to the size of the verdict, but we have long been helping people fight back when they are defamed online," he added.
His law firm has handled many regular and Internet defamation cases for individuals and companies, Morris said, but as a practical matter most cases that go to trial involve companies. "I refer many individuals to small claims court where they can handle the case themselves."

The AeroCart from WORX isn't just a wheelbarrow, it's a gardener's best friend. The multi-purpose cart is also a hand truck, an extended dolly, a leaf bag holder, a cylinder holder, a rock and plant mover, and a trailer dolly.
AeroCart exploits the physics of leverage, making it possible to haul heavy loads with ease. As a wheelbarrow, its tub is specially shaped to concentrate the center of gravity directly over the wheels. This creates a perfectly balanced and manageable load that can be lifted and moved. AeroCart's two wheels improve stability and alleviate side-to-side movement and tipping.
At only 22 inches wide, the cart easily moves through gates and the front doors of most homes to transport furniture, totes, boxes, refrigerators (up to 300 lbs.) and even demolition debris. Pull the release knob to transform the cart into a hand truck for carrying bulky plants, shrubs, trees and more. The cart comes with a variety of accessories to help move objects. Optional accessories are also available. Worx.com; 866-354-9679Prize Value: $159.99

does tides of blood on vlad stack to 32% health regen?
How noticeable should that be?
Lets say at level 4 when I get leve l1 tides. I stack it 4 times. My base health regen is 8.4 I think. Lets say health is 1k. So with 4 stacks, health regen is ~11.1 ? So 133 health a minute? Meanwhile it cost me 400 health to keep stacks up?
So is it worth it at all to get health regen from tides of blood, or just use it for the damage?
Maybe I should count health Regen runes?

Truveo Launches Big International Expansion
After relaunching this August as a video search engine and consumer destination, AOL's Truveo is aggressively expanding on a global basis. By the end of the year, Truveo intends to be in 15 countries, including Russia and Turkey. Starting today it will be available outside the U.S. in France, Germany, India, Japan, Korea, Spain, Taiwan, and the UK. The URLs all follow the pattern: http://uk.truveo.com. More URLs for the international sites can be found in the release.
YouTube has numerous international sites as well. However, Truveo indexes YouTube video in addition to video from major branded content sites and producers. Truveo CEO Tim Tuttle previously said to me that one important difference between Truveo and YouTube is that content is presented in an environment that is "favorable and friendly" to professional content producers.
This new international expansion, which, according to Tuttle, was challenging technically in certain respects, helps serve the already large non-U.S. audience for the site. It also comes just a couple of days after the private beta launch of NBC and News Corp.'s high-profile joint video venture, Hulu. AOL is one of several distribution partners for Hulu as well.
One of the interesting discussions that Tuttle and I had during the briefing for the international launch was how all this online video content and video search would eventually make its way onto TV. Tuttle agreed that it would.
With sites like Truveo, Hulu, and YouTube making a huge variety of branded and "tail" video content available, viewers might ultimately opt for those sites and sources rather than traditional broadcast TV or cable. Assuming the quality of the online video experience continues to improve, eventually a traditional cable TV subscription might be less and less necessary. One might only need the Internet and a screen in the living room.

Co-op/Internship Assistance Program
Consider making a tax deductible donation to assist a Daytona Beach, FL or Prescott, AZ Co-op/Intern student with financial assistance for expenses during a Co-op/Intern semester. Your company can participate by making a donation to the Co-op/Internship Assistance Program. Your generosity could help to minimize a student's financial concern, therefore, allowing him/her to get the maximum out of the Co-op/Intern experience.
Why not help a Co-op/Intern student defray some expenses they'll incur when they go on a Co-op or Internship? Money could be used for gasoline to travel to the industry site, for professional clothes to wear at work, to help pay rent or even to buy food.
The Program began Summer 2003 and will continue each summer semester, as long as funding is available. We are asking for company sponsorships in order to offer this opportunity to deserving students for summer.
Applicants must comply with University Co-op/Intern policy, meet Co-op/Intern eligibility requirements and be a full-time student enrolled in the current and past semester in order to submit an application packet. A resume, transcript and an essay on What a Co-op Opportunity Will Mean to Me are required documents.
A committee of Career Services staff members will select the recipients. He/she will be awarded a Co-op/Internship Assistance Award for the summer, provided the applicant is selected by a company for a Summer Co-op/Internship and has completed a Co-op/Intern contract by the April deadline.
If you donate to the Co-op Assistance Program at the Daytona Beach, FL campus, your company will be featured in the upcoming Expo Program, which will be distributed to students, local community participants and aviation/aerospace recruiters attending the annual Industry/Career Expo. If your donation is to the Co-op Assistance Program at the Prescott, AZ campus, your company will be featured in Co-op Assistance Program advertising.
Thank you for your consideration to participate in this beneficial program. For more information about donating to the Co-op Assistance Program at the Daytona Beach, FL campus, please contact Sally Richards, Cooperative Education/Internship Program Manager at 386-226-6058. To donate to the Prescott, AZ Co-op Assistance Program, please contact Judy Segner, at 928-777-681.

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
We just completed third year at Wood Acres. Our proud soon to be 3rd grader has done extremely well with support of each one of her teachers. Her reading level is far above the average, her math skills also exceed state averages. As a parent I found that to be the ultimate quality of the teachers and management of Wood Acres. Communication with teachers and the principal has been very effective. A number of fun and educational events organized by the PTA throughout the year are always well organized and attended. The building is beautiful and spatious and outdoor space for kids to enjoy during recess is huge. The school is an integral part of our neighborhood and we as parents, as well as our daughter are very happy in Wood Acres.
Outstanding community support. Highly unique in-house planetarium, with full curriculum built around it. Excellent leadership, and caring teachers.
Don't believe the reviews. This school is awful. Teachers are hit or miss, and the principal is not engaged. I didn't realize how awful this school was until I moved out of state and my kids started attending a *truly* great school where the teachers and administrators encourage children to attend after-school events (unlike Wood Acres, where student attendance is prohibited). The only reason for the great reviews here is because the property values in this neighborhood are tied to the myth that this school is great. If you're considering moving into this neighborhood for the quality of the school, be forewarned.
Wood Acres Elementary School is fabulous. The community of kids, teachers, and parents is wonderful. I cannot conceive of a better place to start my child's educaton.
WA is a great school with terrific facilities and an active parent-teacher-student community. Set in a quiet neighborhood, every morning you can see parents walking their kids to school through the neighborhood, greeting fellow students and parents along the way. Every good school in this area has to manage with some level of oversubscription (likely because the better the school, the more people flock to that cluster to send their kids there). WA is no exception, but that doesn't change our view that it's truly a great school and a big part of the reason we chose to be in this district.
This school is one of the most exceptional elementary schools in the state. There's always a reason a school is overcrowded, in this case it's because so many people want their kids to go there. The addition being added later this year will alleviate the issue.
Woodacres Elementary school is an excellent school with capable and helping teachers and a strong and sincere principal Mrs Sharban. This school has a very friendly and welcoming atmosphere. The new students never feel as this is there first week or first month. The teachers know how to help there students and get the best out of them . The way kids participate in every project in the class or in the community is remarkable. I am amazed why it has a rating of 8 from great school , according to me it is the best school of the Montgomery County.
Wood Acres' teachers are terrific, and it is a generally happy place for kids. But I agree with the other reviewer who said kids get almost no supervision at recess, and the administration is disengaged about this problem.
The school has great facilities and very involved parents, but is lacking on a many many qualities that matter for a grade school. Teachers are overwhelmed with large class sizes and have no additional support to cater to any above average bright children. Facilities are nice, but kids are left alone to find their way, including NO supervision at recess or lunch unless there are parent volunteers. School administration appears completely disengaged. Big disappointment.
i love the kids and the staff at wood acres~
REgarding the diversity issue, parents move to this school district to avoid diversity. Diversity is a great thing when you choose when to engage it - but the demographics of this school district are self selecting and allow for a very safe, non-disruptive, and self-selecting group of families to give kids a great public school education that rivals many top private schools. Plus, there is plenty of diversity with the kids from Embassy parents. It may not be the type that the reviewer below is looking for but is much richer from a cultural and global perspective than what the politically correct contingent is looking for which this school is not looking to foster.
We moved to the school last year and have found it to be superb. Not only are the teachers top-notch, but the parental involvement is very high and the music and art teachers are fabulous. I haven't heard of anyone who is unhappy with their teacher and the school is run beautifully. Our daughter is advanced academically and her first grade teacher has gone above and beyond in her efforts to challenge her every day. In addition, the school has a fabulous guidance counselor who brings a great deal of awareness to the kids as to behavior and respect issues.
This school has gone down hill in the last four years. Parents have become disgruntled and from what i hear, the staff is disillusioned. It seems there is no leadership here, one more year for me and my youngest will move on to middle school. Many good teachers have left recently and it's a shame.
My son joined this school as a new third grader and loved it from the very first day. The staff went out of their way to make sure we settled nicely. Mrs Sherburne the principal is awesome! She connects with both children and parents and whenever I'm at the school, I see her up and about ... always actively engaged and best of all, our son's third grade teacher, Ms Crabtree is just wonderful! Altogether its a great school. It also has a very active PTA - I haven't been too involved in that but I'm kept updated through regular emails.

I have been with my bf for more than 1 yr.
We went to shopping yesterday. During the shopping, I went to bathroom , when I was out of bathroom, I saw he was calling sb. Yet he immediately said :" ok, have a good day and see you" through the cell when he noticed I walked close to him. I felt uncomfortable about it. He said he called A, whom I also knew.
After back home, I did sth that I should not do but I had no choice: I checked his cell when he was sleeping. Ys, he did call his friend A, but he also called his ex-gf. I felt I was fooled by him.
It makes me think of one thing happened on me: b4 I was with my bf, I once liked a guy so much(I call him X here), while X does not like me; at the same time, another guy liked me so much (I call him Y here), but I did not like him at all. We were all just friends at that time. One time I went out with Y to bank, and he had to ask sth there. During the time he asked advice, I actually was thinking of X, so I called X to say Hi.
I am wondering whether I can compare these 2 similar situation: I called X when I was with Y when he was asking advice from staff in bank, cz I actually liked X; My bf called his ex-gf when he was with me and when I went to bathroom; I of course did not want Y know that I called X, and my bf also did not want me to know he called his ex-gf. So based on my feeling and experience, can I say that my bf actually more like his ex-gf rather than me? B4 this I did not know he still contacts with his ex-gf. Although ppl are different, there are similar feelings among human beings.
what do you guys think? Thanks!

If your boyfriend had been open about phoning his ex for a chat, would you have been cool with it....or would you get upset and insecure?
|Sat, 02-06-2010 - 11:34pm
If he talk with his ex gf openly on phone in front of me, I may feel a bit depressed, BUT I will Not feel insecure, becaue that means he has NOTHING to hide from me!! I can accept it.
If he did so behind my back, I will think he has sth that he try to hide from me.
I keep thinking if A does not have feeling on his ex, why did A still try to find a free time when with his recent gf, with the risk of being seen by his recent gf?
I once knew a chinese woman who has affair with an american guy who has married for long time. The chinese woman told me that when that guy went to out state for travling with his family, he still tried to find free time to call her. (she has been with that guy for long time, and I think that guy likes her)

Lol, one of the greatest innovations
Submitted by ATruepatriot on Fri, 10/18/2013 - 18:31. Permalink
One of the greatest innovations was adding the key switch activated Solenoid to the starter so that the foot pedal starter could be removed. In 2007 I saw an innovation introduced by Cummins Diesel Motor company that is way too much to explain here and now. Absolutely way behind it's time. Dodge did it first in the 50's.
If I disappear from a discussion please forgive me. My 24-7 business requires me to split mid-sentence to serve them. I am not ducking out, I will be back later to catch up.

ok i just finished baking 150 cupcakes, and 16 layers for tiered cakes. i have to do it all again tomorrow but its just too hot..even with the a/c the ovens make the place sweltering. i honestly cant understand how anyone can enjoy this scorching heat..even my daughter who hates cold is wishing for snow...
oh man..i have 280 cupcakes, a 2 tiered table disp[lay cake, a 3 tiered sweet 16, a 2 tiered shower for 50, 2 round layer cakes, AND a baby shower cake for 60...all for this weekend, and all need to be hand decorated. Business is good...lol...this weekend anyhow!
/Anyone who knows me knows how i detest the heat. And this week is going to be hot. Some think its because i'm fat. But uts not..although that doesnt help. I have NEVER liked it. I thrive on the crisp cool days of fall and the frigid cold of winter. When i was small my mom would fill a cool tub of water and i would just lie in it in the summer if we werent at the lake. When i WAS or AM at the lake i am in the water. as in for 8-10 hours a day. i dont lay out in the sun, i lay in the water.
Summer makes our electric bill go up...i have the window a/c units on full blast. You can always get warmer with a sweatshirt..cooling off is another thing. I remember my dad being horrified one day..he came in and held up a stiff pair of jeans and said I FOUND THESE IN THE FREEZER!!! i said Daddy..i'm hot..i'm just making my clothes more bearable..he laughed at that one!!!
I hope this heat wave we are having goes away quickly..
Hot. hot and sunny. about the worst possible scenario weatherwise for this heat detestor. BUT. it was only 2.25 hours, i wore a nice light top and pants and took 2 jugs of ice water. It was a lovely ceremony, my kid graduated Cum Laude. THAT was a surprise he hadnt told me!!
Then we came back to Malone and i took everyone (Billy, his girlfriend Sarah, my mom and stepdad, Kevin and I) out to lunch. it was fun, the food was delicious.
Billy and Sarah have gone to see his dad, then then will stop here. they leave Thursday morning for Minnesota. I am going to miss him...i know..hes been gone to college for 4 years. But its only 50 mins away not 20 hours!!!
anyhow..i can take a deep deep breath. I put 3 kids through college (Bill did most all of his on his own). They are all happy, well adjusted, productive members of society..not a one of them has gotten into trouble..they all worked while they were still in high school and all the way through college.
For once i'm going to give myself a small pat on the back...and say i think i did ok. i wasnt a perfect mom, but i did ok.
i am relaxing till delivery time. Getting ready for my youngest child's college graduation tomorrow. I pray i dont cry..i am so proud of him but I am going to niss him so much. I wish I could have a day back of when they were all little..just one day!!

Geopolitics, Geography and Strategy
Edited by Colin S. Gray, Geoffrey Sloan
Divided into theory and practice sections, this volume covers the big names such as Mackinder, Mahan and Haushofer, as well as looking back at the vital influence of weather and geography on naval power in the long age of sail (sixteenth to nineteenth centuries). It also looks forward to the consequences of the revival of geopolitics in post-Soviet Russia and the new space-based field of "astropolitics".
Strategy for Chaos: Revolutions in Military Affairs and the Evidence of History
In this volume, Professor Colin Gray develops and applies the theory and scholarship on the allegedly historical practice of the 'Revolution in Military Affairs' (RMA), in order to improve our comprehension of how and why strategy 'works'.
Strategy and History: Essays on Theory and Practice
Strategy and History comprises a selection of Professor Gray's key contributions to strategic debate over the past thirty years. These essays have been selected both because they had significant messages for contemporary controversies, and because they have some continuing relevance for today and the future. Each essay in this book is really about strategy in the modern world, and reflects the many dimensions of this complex subject.
War, Peace and International Relations: An introduction to strategic history, 2nd Edition
War, Peace and International Relations provides an introduction to the strategic history of the past two centuries, showing how those 200 years were shaped and reshaped extensively by war. The book takes a broad view of what was relevant to the causes, courses, and consequences of wars.

Titles in the Series:
The Defence Industrial Triptych systematically analyses the components and drivers of the relationships that bind a government to its defence industrial base by examining three major case studies: the UK, US and Germany, who between them account for over three quarters of NATO defence spending. The features of their defence industrial relationships –whether common or unique – provide vital lessons for policy-makers, industrialists and the taxpayer. As defence cuts bite across NATO and as the UK approaches the 2015 Strategic Defence and Security Review, the relationships this Whitehall Paper considers are more important than ever.

Defence reform has been a major component of Bosnia's stabilisation and nation-building. Though true for many cases of post-conflict transition, it is especially so for Bosnia, which arguably has the most complex state structure in Europe. Ten years on from the start of Bosnia's defence-reform process, Destination NATO records and reviews the Bosnian experience of defence reform. The monograph offers policy-makers, practitioners and academics knowledge of the specific case of Bosnia and Herzegovina, and makes these insights relevant to defence-reform efforts in other contexts.

This Whitehall Paper tackles the Iranian nuclear dispute in its full context to determine what possible compromises may exist and how they may be achieved.
The Permanent Crisis questions the assumptions and logic of alarmist studies – those which see a nuclear Iran as fanatical, unresponsive to deterrence and certain to precipitate a wave of unstoppable nuclear proliferation – whilst outlining the very real risks that would flow from such a failure of Western policy.

The 9/11 terrorist attacks prompted a new urgency in efforts to deal with chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear proliferati on. The potential acquisition and use by terrorist groups of such weaponry was suddenly a much increased threat. The G8 Global Partnership against the Spread of Weapons and Materials of Mass Destruction subsequently encouraged some twenty-two countries and the European Union to pledge up to $20 billion to address this challenge. The creation of the Global Partnership was the first time so many countries agreed to collaborate on a range of non-proliferation, security and nuclear safety programmes, as well as commit such an amount of resources to them. Based on extensive primary research, this Whitehall Paper assesses the success and shortcomings to date of the Global Partnership, and suggests how the mechanism can be bolstered and taken forward.

In 2006, British forces entered the Helmand Province of Afghanistan in what would become one of the defining military campaigns of the decade. At great cost in blood and treasure, the UK waged a protracted counter-insurgency against a resurgent Taliban.
But how was the decision taken to commit Britain to such a difficult and drawn out campaign? The Afghan Papers is the result of private interviews with and frank contributions by some of the most important actors in the fateful decision. Former generals, politicians and civil servants contribute to an original RUSI analysis that provides a startling insight into the decision to commit the UK to a war – a decision wracked by conflict, incoherence and confusion.

Johanna Söderström is a postdoctoral researcher at the Department of Government, Uppsala University, and author of Peacebuilding and Ex-Combatants: Political Reintegration in Liberia.
View Johanna's open access article on Ebola and the Ex-Combatant Community from Cultural Anthropology, part of Ebola in Perspective from the journal 'Cultural Anthropology.
Read Johanna's article on Ex-Combatants at the Polls in Liberia: How do elections generate legitimacy?
And an article on on electoral results in Sierra Leone
As well as piece on ending civil wars and insurgencies, called Getting from Insurgency to Politics (note: you will need access to World Politics Review to read this article in full)
Johanna's book Peacebuilding and Ex-Combatants: Political Reintegration in Liberia examines how ex-combatants in post-war and peacebuilding settings engage in politics, as seen in the case of Liberia.
By looking at the political attitudes and values of former combatants, and their understanding of how politics functions, the book sheds new light on the political reintegration of ex-combatants. It argues that political reintegration needs to be given serious attention at the micro-level, but also needs to be scrutinized in two ways: first, through the level of political involvement, which reflects the extent and width of the ex-combatants' voice. Second, in order to make sense of political reintegration, we also need to uncover what values and norms inform their political involvement. The content of their political voice is captured through a comparison with democratic ideals. Based on interviews with over 100 Liberian ex-combatants, the book highlights that their relationship with politics overall should be characterized as an expression of a 'politics of affection'.
The book has variously been described as:
'[A]…timely and path-breaking study… with keen practical and conceptual insights into the challenges of political reintegration of former combatants.' Alpaslan Ozerdem, Coventry University.
'…a major addition to the literature on Liberia and peacemaking in general.' Mary Moran, Colgate University.
'Söderström creates an unusual opportunity to hear the voices of former combatants as they face the realities of reintegration.' David L. Morgan, Portland State University.

Routledge Major Works gather together the best and most influential work on particular concepts, subjects, and individuals. Each Routledge Major Work is edited by a leading scholar in the field to create a 'mini library'—generally a set of four or five volumes. The sets consist of a careful selection of previously published articles from a variety of journals, excerpts or chapters from previously published books, and materials from other sources which together provide users with historical purchase on the concept, subject, or individual in question, as well as a thorough overview of current issues.
Our Critical Concepts in Military, Strategic, and Security Studies series contains a small number of collections on:
• Intelligence
• Security and Stability in the Middle East
• Critical Security Studies
• Health Security and Governance
• The Cold War.

Hey guys! I know this seems super sudden and it sorta is but Delirium's going to be taking another break! Not a massive one, the comic will be back at the beginning of December – December 4th, which is a Thursday.
The reason being is because a lot of recent things – financial, health, etc – have been popping up and its caused me to put a lot of desperately needed to be done behind the scenes work to pile up. A lot of this is to do with current projects, future projects as well as even stuff for Delirium itself.
During this break, I'll be finish up my current one-shot Jarah over on Konira Comics as well as prepping the finale to my long running comic, Don Paolo: TSoV – lots to do!
Also, I've got a special announcement that I've been meaning to do, if you look to the right, you'll notice a Delirium store page. I've opened an official Delirium store over on Konira Comics, it includes prints, bookmarks, charms, and best of all, a specially but together eBook over Delirium's Volume One. This includes the first ten dials in an easy to read revised deluxe edition. Later on this year, I'll be releasing the second deluxe volume so look forward to that!
And lastly, thank you so much for reading! I apologise for this small break but it'll fly by quick, have a good holiday guys.

In late October, 2012 wildfires burned in the northern part of the Baja California Peninsula, Mexico. The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) aboard NASA's Aqua satellite captured this true-color image of the fires and smoke in this region on October 26, 2012.
Wildfires burn south of the city of Tijuana and just east of the city of Ensenada. Other fires are burning in the foothills of the mountains south of these cities. Plumes of smoke released from these fires coalesce and billow to the west over the Pacific Ocean.
On the other side of the Baja peninsula, sediments from the Colorado River entering the Gulf of California, coloring the waters tan and aqua.

Faux Duke Stone
Last week, we watched "Duke Stone" panels going up on the construction fence surrounding the Rubenstein Library and the West Campus Union. So we thought we'd take a few moments to write about the real Duke Stone!

This week marked the final chapter of the Rubenstein Library relocation project of 2013, when the Library's portrait collection was relocated from the Gothic Reading Room to the Rubenstein Library's temporary space on the third floor of Perkins. It was a poignant and, at moments, spirited end to a process that began many months [...]Continue Reading →

- Estate Law and Planning
- Medicaid Planning
- Wills and Trusts Administration
- Special Needs Trusts and Disability
- Baby Boomer Law
Promoting dignity as we protect your family's financial well-being
Families across Chicago, and all over Illinois, are struggling to protect assets and care for aging parents & loved ones. The complexities of current Estate laws do not make it easy for individuals and their families to cover all the bases without assistance.
Assisting disabled spouses, aging parents and grandparents sometimes makes it difficult to find time to address our own situation – even as issues surrounding estate law, elder care, trusts and Medicaid force themselves into our daily conversation.
Whether you want to preserve the dignity of an aging parent or spouse by making plans to insure they don't outlive their assets, or take care of an existing estate to avoid future unseen liabilities – we can help. Our attorneys concentrate in elder care law and estate planning. We can also work with you to address the special needs of disabled family members or even manage the affairs of those who failed to make proper arrangements.
At Generation Law we are not only attorneys, we're also people with families. So we understand the stress, hardship and conflicting emotions that come with estate planning and elder law. So, don't wait until an issue becomes a crisis. Contact us today and let us help you protect your family's assets and future while preserving the dignity of everyone involved.

The World of Wrestling
Roland Barthes
The virtue of all-in wrestling is that it is the spectacle of excess. Here we find a grandiloquence which must have been that of ancient theaters. And in fact wrestling is an open-air spectacle, for what makes the circus or the arena what they are is not the sky (a romantic value suited rather to fashionable occasions), it is the drenching and vertical quality of the flood of light. Even hidden in the most squalid Parisian halls, wrestling partakes of the nature of the great solar spectacles, Greek drama and bullfights: in both, a light without shadow generates an emotion without reserve.

Adams County Auditor Bill Borne has made public a sharply-worded letter he sent to the two men who represent the county in the Indiana General Assembly about $320 million in state funds that were overlooked and then reportedly found this year.
Borne, who will close eight years as auditor on December 31, 2012, and is an Auditor of the Year award winner, sent the letter to State Rep. Matt Lehman, R-Berne, and State Sen. Travis Holdman, R-Markle, who will be at work in the state legislature starting in early January.
