Filed under Comic Books, Missouri, Signing and Appearance Profiles
Meet local superstar writer Cullen Bunn at Star Clipper for the release of his new Boom! Studios series, THE EMPTY MAN, on Wednesday, June 11 fromnoon 12 pm to 4:00 pm.
There's nothing scarier than horror that hits home-a tale of terror only one or two steps removed from our reality. THE EMPTY MAN is a dystopic version of the world we know, where a terrifying disease has taken on almost deific connotations.
Cullen Bunn (THE SIXTH GUN, VENOM) and Vanesa R. Del Rey (HIT) are two of the most exciting talents in the industry, and perfectly in sync on this haunting new crime procedural.
It's been one year since the first reported case of the Empty Man disease, and no drug has been able to slow its progress. The cause is unknown, and the symptoms include fits of rage, hideous hallucinations, suicidal dementia, followed by death, or a near lifeless, "empty" state of catatonia. As murder cults rise nationwide, the FBI and CDC enter a joint investigation of the Empty Man, hoping to piece together clues to stop the cult and uncover a cure.
Come meet Cullen Bunn and get an autographed copy of THE EMPTY MAN #1!

Robert Gates stepped down as Secretary of Defense on July 1, 2011, after four and a half widely praised years serving two presidents of opposing parties. As he tells it in a new memoir that is refreshingly and uncommonly blunt about his relations with the White House and Congress, he was, "in personal terms, treated better by the White House, Congress and the press for longer than almost anyone I could remember in a senior U.S. government job."
Yet while still running the Pentagon he emailed a friend: "People have no idea how much I detest this job."
Few men have had better preparation for leading the Defense Department. Before taking that post, Mr. Gates served as director of the Central Intelligence Agency and Deputy National Security Advisor in a long and distinguished government career.
What drove him up the wall, he wrote, was Washington's "dysfunction" and, in particular, the way parochial politics invaded every sphere of decision-making. While not leaving out Congress, which he said treated administration witnesses with contempt, it appears that his largest problem was with the White House under President Barack Obama. President George W. Bush, he said, seldom if ever discussed domestic politics with him.
He wrote: "With Obama, however, I joined a new, inexperienced president determined to change course - and equally determined from day one to win re-election."
The result was the president's "determination that the White House tightly control every aspect of national security policy and even operations. His White House was by far the most centralized and controlling in national security of any I had seen since Richard Nixon and Henry Kissinger ruled the roost."
President Obama gave his chiefs of staff, Rahm Emanuel and Bill Daley, "as well as such core political advisers as Valerie Jarrett, David Axelrod and Robert Gibbs" roles in national security decisions "that I had not previously experienced."
Mr. Gates wrote that White House aides attempted to bypass him to communicate directly with senior military commanders. When Vice President Joe Biden and National Security Advisor Tom Donilon tried to give him orders, he sent them packing by saying they were not in the chain of command.
Mr. Gates also reported that White House staff and the vice president constantly told the president that his Afghanistan policy was not working, often putting the blame on commanders in the field. This tended to poison working relations between the White House and the military.
For example, Secretary Gates and the military agreed with the president's 2009 decision for a limited surge in Afghanistan, but preferred to condition the time and pace of a future drawdown of forces on facts on the ground.
When Gen. David Petraeus made public remarks in 2011 critical of a rigid exit timetable in Afghanistan, President Obama hit the ceiling, suggesting that he was being "gamed" by the Pentagon. Wrote Mr. Gates, "As I sat there, I thought: the president doesn't trust his commander, can't stand [Afghanistan President Hamid] Karzai, doesn't believe in his own strategy, and doesn't consider the war to be his. For him, it's all about getting out."
With such revealing perspectives (including a dismissive appraisal of Mr. Biden), it is clear the Mr. Gates has closed the door to Washington behind him. What a deeper reading of his memoir reveals is the way that Washington's hyper-political environment burns out the best of the nation's servants and makes public service an agony for those who are driven by more than partisan calculations.

Although a cure for cancer is still beyond our reach, we have the ability to make changes to help reduce our risk of certain cancers as well as other diseases.
The American Institute of Cancer Research estimates that up to one-third of all cancers can be prevented if we eat a nutrient-rich diet, maintain a healthy weight and participate in a minimum of 30 minutes of daily exercise. However, as we approach the winter season, our attitudes towards exercise and eating healthy may begin to change. Starchy, comfort foods coupled with less activity due to inclement weather or busy holiday time constraints often contribute to the average 10-15 pound weight gain we see between Thanksgiving and Christmas.
Yet the same premise for holiday weight management is the same for lowering one's risk of cancer. Some of the key recommendations include:
The focus on plant-based nutrients gave rise to what we call phytochemicals or phytonutrients (from the Greek phyto or plant), meaning a substance naturally occurring in plants. These plant-based nutrients pack a one-two punch against cancer as well as other diseases through several widely believed physiological mechanisms:
A Word on Antioxidants
Many phytonutrients are antioxidants, which are simply compounds within food that protect our cells from oxidative damage and stress. This protective measure is key in preventing changes to our immune system over time, which can lead to cancer and other diseases.
A perfect example of how an antioxidant works is to think of what happens when you cut into an apple. Within about 30 minutes, that apple slice will begin to turn brown from oxidation. However, if you squeeze on a bit of lemon juice immediately after an apple is sliced, the Vitamin C contained in that juice acts as an antioxidant preventing the apple from oxidizing and consequently, turning discolored.
Just as certain foods need antioxidant protection, so do our bodies. Choosing foods higher in phytonutrients can help to ensure we stay healthy.
Suggestions for Increasing Your Phytonutrients
Whole grain cereals
Vegetable bean soup
Stir-fry dishes
Veggie omelet
Whole grain bread sandwiches
Lean cuts of meat and fish
Whole wheat toast served with nut butter
Mixed garden salads served alongside frozen entrées.
Fresh fruit desserts
A healthy, balanced diet is only one part of the equation that introduces antioxidants into our bodies to help prevent cancer. Environmental factors such as a sedentary lifestyle, smoking, exposure to pollution, and even the process of aging contribute to the rate of oxidation. The challenge is to manage the areas most under our control, such as diet and exercise, which will reduce our risks of cancer and provide our bodies with the nutritional strength to fight back should we develop the disease.
For more information on reducing your risk of cancer nutritionally visit the American Dietetic Association website. And for exercise ideas, check out ACE's exercise library.

LIN TV Corp. Executes First Of Two Transactions To Resolve NBC JV Overhangs
If the LLC Conversion closes at a stock price of less than or equal to approximately $10.75 per share, we expect to be able to preserve approximately $119 million of NOLs and we project that LIN Media LLC would first become a full cash tax payer (based on taxable income generated from operations) by the end of 2015. If our stock price exceeds approximately $12.20 per share at closing, we project that LIN Media LLC will first become a full cash tax payer (based on taxable income generated from operations) before the end of 2013.
Stockholder Implications
From the perspective of our stockholders, the LLC Conversion will be a taxable event. We expect that stockholders will recognize a gain or possibly a loss at the closing date of the LLC Conversion as if they sold their LIN shares at the stock price used to effectuate the transaction. In the registration statement and proxy materials that we will file in connection with the LLC Conversion, we will urge each of our stockholders to consult their tax advisor regarding the tax consequences that the merger will have on them. We believe that these consequences may cause some of our stockholders to sell a portion of their LIN shares to cover their expected income tax liability.
Subsequent to the closing of the LLC Conversion, LIN Media LLC will be treated as a partnership for purposes of federal and state income taxes and, as a result, it will provide its shareholders with an annual Schedule K-1 (IRS Form 1065). As LIN Media LLC, like LIN, will merely be a holding company with the stock of LIN Television Corporation as its only asset, this Schedule K-1 will reflect no activity unless LIN Television Corporation makes a distribution to or has other activity with LIN Media LLC.

Okay, fair enough. Violent reaction. Thrashing about. On par with say trying to hand sand the starfish of an alligator in a phone booth (Thanks to Ron White for that one). I get that part.
At what point does the rifle reverse direction, into the face of the brother, and go off again??
I merely guessing here, but I don't think either brother was in the running for a Governor's Best and Brightest Scholarship.
Our nieghbor would slaughter a pig or goat for 4th of july picnic in years past, mainly pigs.
He used a 22 rifle on every pig that I witnessed being made ready into bbq. He simply threw some feed down at the end of the pen that had a large oak tree over it. He would be outside the pen, while the hog was eating the feed the nieghbor stuck the rifle close to the pigs head and pulled the trigger. It always seemed to drop the pig in a humane fashion.
My point is, this activity is not range time. There are extra steps you need to take in certain situations to keep everyone safe. The pig is an unknown quantity and steps should be taken to minimize unwanted results. There are ways of doing things, these brothers didn't look at a bigger picture of unintended consequences.
'Porky's revenge;' 'nuff said.

The Best Blog You're Not Reading: This Is American Soccer
In our new Friday afternoon series, we will bring you an excellent sports media-related blog you've probably never heard because you don't spend all day, every day wander the backwaters of the Internet. In the first edition, This Is American Soccer.
Adam Spangler, previously an editor at Vanity Fair, launched TIAS with the goal of giving "a glimpse into the soul of American soccer by capturing moments in time – digital stamps to let those who follow understand the world's most popular sport in a malnourished American enviroment." And he's succeeding, thanks to brilliant longform journalism, investigations into the sport's youth movement, interviews with figures such as Spike Lee.
Longform sports writing in this country is dying, but Spangler's keeping it alive at TIAS. We wish him the best.

Show us more of your fan art!
How about making some techy particle effects, as some concept. Maybe some more concept art on the costume.
ill ask saint about maybe doing some particle effects and try and brainstorm some ideas myself that maybe she can draw, see what i can think of , any ideas you guys have if i dont think of any would be helpful
It looks great, but, being a cyberpink fan, it looks a little, well, bright to me. Maybe not as grungy as one would expect. I would imagine some darker colors would help a lot, and maybe some obvious implants, like a cord running out of the temple.
Not saying that it doesn't look awesome as is, mind you. Just doesn't feel cyberpunk. Tech Evelyn, cyber-assassin Evelyn, would fit.
Wonder if any REDS are fans of cyberpunk would love to hear their input on it, maybe well get one sometime in the future

His ministry is his writing: 32 novels and memoirs so far, and some sermons, as a guest preacher, many of which are in a new book, SECRETS IN THE DARK. For many Christians he's a celebrity, but Buechner feels that seeking ordination is the worst possible career move for a writer.

Wicked offer of spacePaul, · Categories: Alumni and other friends, Amusements, General
The owners of our town eyesore, the long abandoned Wicked Burrito, have made the Town and offer: Find a suitable not-for-profit tennant that is willing to vacate on 30 days notice and we'll let them use the space. This in a letter to Town Manager Cal Horton dated April 26, 2005.
Lonestar Steakhouse CEO Jamie Coulter challenges Cal in the letter:
"Put on your thinking cap and let me have your best ideas for a temporary occupant for the Wicked Burrito building. " [full PDF of the letter]
Who/what would you suggest? Art gallery, rehearsal space, poetry readings?
4 Responses to "Wicked offer of space"
A gallery space would be cool. I loved the temporary ones that were on Franklin street. Ruby and I had the first date in the store space that Skool Kid Records recently expanded into. I'll pass the word and put my thinking cap on for this one.
Children's Museum. Preferably one focused on science, technology, medicine, etc.
See the letter. The Children's Museum wanted a multi-year lease. Lone star can't/won't go with that. They say they (LS) require the place be vacated on 30 days notice. The CM wants and needs something better to build on than that.
But other projects that are more mobile or more transient could work well — a gallery, a reading series, a rehearsal space, etc.
Thanks for bringing this to people's attention. Yes, your suggestion of an art or performing arts space — even if temporary — in that location would be wonderful. Although it is not the ideal building, it is a GREAT location to show what arts can do for downtown. I would think a well-organized mix-use arts space would be the best option. Art shows on the wall, poetry readings and other events on regular nights, and possibly dance or light theater, depending on how it could fit in the space (I've never been in there, although I have looked through the windows with some of these same thoughts).
As Brian pointed out, there were two temporary art galleries on Franklin Street that I helped organize as part of the Public Arts Commission's Arts 'Round Town festival in 2003. One gallery was in what is now Pita Pit, using that space just for the one day of the festival. Yet in just that one day, it probably hosted 100-200 people. The other gallery was in the School Kids Records addition, hosting a UNC Undergraduate Art Association gallery for nearly 6 weeks. This gallery is a great model for use of the Wicked Burrito space, because it involved a group of volunteers (UNC art students) coordinating staffing the gallery, plus the addition of an art opening/reception plus some light performances. I think such a usage at Wicked Burrito would require the coordinated efforts of some various local groups to be successful, and I have passed this information on to the Public Arts Commission.
Besides the CHPAC, it would be great to involve the local paint, watercolor, clay, photography, etc. groups to organize shows, plus poetry, theater, dance groups to develop a calendar of events. And hopefully amonst all of these groups would come a never-ending flow of eager volunteers to staff regular hours in the space such that this model can demonstrate what great effect arts and performance can have for stimulating downtown business.

Looking for Jake: And Other Stories
by China Miéville
Compact | Rate recommendations
No current Talk conversations about this book.
I very much disliked these short stories. Generally there was an interesting idea behind them, but there was little in the way of plot or structure, and the writing wasn't special.
The novella at the end was better, but still not satisfying.
I've read most of Miéville's novels, but hadn't come across much of his short fiction except insofar as it has been nominated for various awards. This was a good set of stories, mostly leaning towards horror, mostly set in contemporary London (one set in New Crobuzon). There's a lot of very effective writing and scene-setting - I particularly liked the short story told through correspondence and diary entries about a wandering street. Nothing that quite grabbed me by the throat, but all very pleasing.
I liked this book less than his Bas-Lag novels. He is a brilliant writer, but these stories seemed a little uneven, less flamboyantly inventive, less polished. I enjoyed them, but was also disappointed. And, I must say, my interested in his creative process helped to hold my attention to the end as much as the actual qualities of the stories themselves.

Cab Company Reacts to Rising Gas Prices
IOWA CITY, IA (CBS 2/FOX 28)--Gas prices continue to rise throughout the country and it's no different here in Iowa. The average price per gallon has jumped to $3.62
That's up nearly a nickel, in just one week, but imagine the impact of that hike if your job depends on driving around all day.
Steve Gerot says he decided to become a cab driver to make a little extra money, but with gas prices rising across the corridor, things are getting tight.
I think I took home $5 for an eight hour shift yesterday, he said.
That's because at the end of the day Steve and his employer split the day's take 50/50, as well as the cost of the day's gas.
The national average for gas increased by almost 10 cents per gallon last month, according to GasBuddy.com and here in Iowa prices are almost 7 cents more per gallon than there were last month.
According to AAA the unrest in Egypt is partly to blame.
"It's not that there's a great deal of concern that Egypt is a major exporter because its not. It's more so a concern of the overall instability of the Middle East, said AAA director of public affairs Gail Weinholzer.
Something that in turn affects gas prices here and back at #1 cab, the last time gas prices jumped, Steves boss had to raise fares to the current four dollars per mile.
Because it was affecting us. We were making hardly anything some days or some nights. My drivers were actually complaining, said owner of #1 cab Rafat Alawneh.
It's going to get worse from I guess what they tell me but we just got to keep the car shut off as much as possible, Steve said.
Steve , still looking for that extra money, is hoping prices come down soon.
I'd like to see it get down under two again. I think it should, he said.
Now to put Steves problem in perspective , he's spending nearly $80 on gas every day he drives.

1911 Encyclopædia Britannica/Morillon
From Wikisource
|←Mörike, Eduard Friedrich
|1911 Encyclopædia Britannica, Volume 18
|Morin, Jean→
|See also Goldeneye (duck) on Wikipedia; and our 1911 Encyclopædia Britannica disclaimer.
MORILLON, a name commonly given by fowlers to the female or immature male of the Golden-Eye (q.v.), the Clangula glaucion of modern ornithology, under the belief—which still very generally obtains among them, as it once did among naturalists —that they formed a distinct species of duck. The mistake no doubt originated in, and is partly excused by, the facts that the birds called Morillons were often of opposite sexes, and differed greatly from the adult male Golden-Eye, whose full and beautiful plumage is not assumed until the second year. The word is used in French in precisely the same form, but it is in that language applied to the Tufted Duck, Fuligula cristata, and is derived, according to Littré, from more, signifying black. (A. N.)

Film Movement (www.filmmovement.com), the North American film distribution company, has acquired the Colombian film LA SIRGA by director William Vega. The film premiered last month in the 2012 Cannes Film Festival's Director's Fortnight. The Spanish-language film tells the poignant story of Alice, a war-ravaged woman who tries to reshape her life in La Sirga, a decadent hostel on the shores of a great lake in the highlands of the Andes. There, on a swampy and murky beach, she will try to settle down until her fears and the threat of war resurface again. The film will receive a New York theatrical opening in late 2012, followed by a limited national roll-out, as well as a day-and-date VOD premiere on various cable and satellite platforms.

I've got an older spare fridge in my basement right now thats not in use due to the fact that it costs alot to run 24/7. I was wondering if using a johnson controller on it and using it to ferment in would use less power than running it all the time?
i have no personal experience with johnson controllers, but one would think it should be cheaper to run. Not sure how much cheaper, though. I imagine another factor involved would be the ambient temp of the basement. If it's really hot down there then chances are it'd still have to run more often than if the temp in the basement was close to ferment temp.
Like Donner, I don't have any practical experience with this but just based on the fact that it's not operating all the time I would think it would have to reduce energy costs.
What I will add though is make sure you go through and vacuum off the condenser coils. Build up of dust and dirt on the coils insulates then and just destroys the efficiency since they can't get rid of the heat.
It will certainly use less power running part time than it would running full time, but a refrigerator should not be running full time anyway if it's operating properly. The exception might be if it were in location where it could not keep up with the ambient temperature, but that would be rare especially indoors. The real advantage of a controller is to be able to operate the refrigerator at a higher temperature than the built in thermostat will typically permit. Most won't let you run them at much above 45 F or so and this obviously would be too cold for use when fermenting ales where you want to be in the 60's usually. It won't cost much to run in the 60's so long as you aren't fighting high ambient temps. Mine hardly runs at all when my basement is in the low 70's and I have it set for the low 60's.
Johnson controller uses (literally) zero power.
Using the Johnson controller set at anything higher than 40 degrees will undoubtedly use less power than the refrigerator just running with it's own regulator.
Thanks for the answers. I'm thinking of getting one because I want to start fermenting lagers and I'd also use it for ales.
my basement is high 50's to low 60's in the winter and high 60s to low 70s in summer
I shouldve asked if the compresser is on a lot less when using a johnson controller.
Yes, the compressor should run less if you have the controller set above the minimum of the refrigerator thermostat which should be the case if you are using it as a fermentation chamber. I can't think of a situation where using a controller could make it run more than it would without one. The typical configuration for cooling would have the refrigerator thermostat set on max cold and the controller would shut down the compressor at whatever temperature setting you chose.

My wife and I spent three wonderful days in the country at Les Fermes du Chateau. We were made to feel as part of the family while being treated as premier guests. Breakfasts were typically French but were very plentiful. We ordered Table d'hote on two evenings and had wonderful meals and conversations with the owners. They accepted our limited French but both spoke perfect English. That should be an excellent benefit to language limited travelers. There is plenty to see and do near Les Fermes but each day you return to a quiet peaceful farming community.

Agnes and Francois are very friendly and helpful. Their home is delightful and comfortable in a beautiful country setting. We have no hesitation in recommending Les Fermes du Chateau.

This is a gem of a B & B in a quiet hamlet. It has recently been tastefully renovated and is immaculate. The gardens are lovely and well kept. Agnes is a delightfully personable woman who chatted with us and made us feel right at home. She went over and above our expectations with all the information and help she provided. We didn't dine at the B & B but given the service we received, I'm sure it would be a great experience. I heartily recommend this charming B & B for a pleasurable stay.

We were amazed at the warm and friendly amosphere at this place, and very much enjoyed the hospitality of our hosts, Agnes and Francois. We would come again in a heartbeat. The home, including the bedroom and the bathroom were done very well and made us feel comfortable and relaxed. The food was the best, and all homemade with care. Thank you both, for a very enjoyable stay!

A comfortable place to be within a restored stone walled barn with excellent accommodation, firm bed with care taken as to the decoration of the room. Outstanding view. Cosy well kept garden with several places to sit. Delicious homemade jam with excellent croissant, not like the heavy doughy ones you can buy elsewhere in France. Forthcoming hostess. Because of the quality of the B&B we returned for another night at the end of our vacation. I recommend this B&B on all counts but hesitate to do so because then it might be full when I want to return!

Apart from the delightful surroundings and home itself, what makes this stay extra special is the friendliness and inclusiveness of the innkeepers, Agnès amd François. This is a family home and, whereas there is appropriate private space, you are made to feel part of the household during your stay. The lack of a separate entrance to your quarters could be seen as a disadvantage, but it is fun to come 'home' and walk through the large kitchen and dining room to your own space and, in our experience, Agnès is often found cooking something delicious for the family ... or for guests if they wish to arrange dinner. Opening the shutters in the morning reveals a beautiful garden and potager. In short, a lovely experience of French life with most gracious of hosts.

We booked on the net and really did not know what to expect. Agnes and Francois were the most wonderful hosts - we are still talking about Agnes' nettle soup. We only had an overnight stay We booked an overnight stay at La Desirade on the net, and really did not know what to expect. Agnes & Francois, our hosts, made us feel very welcome. We are still talking about Agnes' menu for dinner that night - simply superb. Forgot to get the recipe for the nettle soup. Susan & John - Sydney, Australia

Driving from Lyon : take on Highway A7 or A46 towards Marseille. Right before Givors, get on highway A47, St Etienne/Clermont Ferrand direction. Just when arriving in St Etienne, you must keep going on the the National 88 towards Le Puy en Velay. You are on a 2x2 way road. Take the St Maurice exit, about 6-7 kms after passing by Monistrol s/loire. Go under the N88 in order to enter St Maurice de Lignon's village. Keep driving straight forward up to the end of the village. Just before getting out, you will find a parking lot with a place on your right. At this intersection, you will need to go on the left road direction Maubourg-Les Yverras-Chateau de Maubourg (a steel cross is showing the intersection) Take this road for about 1 km (the road goes down then up in a wooden area). When driving out of the woods, keep driving down for 200 more meters. At the bottom of this descent, you will see a group of stoned houses on your left. La Desirade home is a large stoned farm building with a wooden gate. Bonne route !!!

Team Maverik Joins LXM Pro – What Does This Mean?
If you're like me, you read a blasé press release last night about Maverik Lacrosse joining up with the LXM Pro. Here's the gist: Maverik has signed on to sponsor one of the teams, called Maverik United, which will be replacing Team Solé for 2013-14, and facing off against Team STX, at each LXM PRO […]
Pick Your Poison: Professional Catch And Shoot
Welcome back to Pick Your Poison! The Lacrosse Network has two excellent plays to offer up, and in this week's Pick Your Poison, we're pitting Joel White of the MLL vs Erik Krum of the LXM PRO, and we want to know which "Catch and Shoot" effort you prefer!
Who Does It Better? Puttin' on the Ritz
This week's match-up is all about the brothers behind the LXM Pro.
Who Does It Better? Best of the LXM Pro
In today's match-up, we pit two of LXM Pro's best against each other. A battle just as big as Kobe Bryant and Lebron James, the season veteran vs. the young gun. The only difference is these two are on the same team, work for the same lacrosse company and they are great friends.
Stringing like Sam Bradman
Sam Bradman can flat out score, and while we all know a good player can play with just about any stick, he must be doing something special with his stringing. Fortunately for us, STX just wrapped up a three part stringing series in which Bradman teaches viewers how to lace up a gamer like his.
LXM PRO To California… Then?
The final event for the LXM PRO's 2012 schedule goes down this weekend in California. Who cares that it's 2013? Great lacrosse is great lacrosse.
Sam Bradman's LXM 702 Highlight Reel
Sam Bradman put together a record-setting performance at the LXM Pro Tour's stop in Vegas. As good as his numbers were, they're even more impressive when you see the actual plays.

Ahead Of The Bell: Freeport-McMoRan
NEW YORK (AP) â¿¿ Shares of Freeport-McMoRan Copper & Gold Inc. are continuing their downward slide Thursday on a raft of downgrades after the company announced plans to buy a pair of oil and gas producers for $9 billion.
Goldman Sachs, Deutsche Bank, RBC, Goldman, Citi, Macquarie and BMO all cut expectations.
Brian Yu of Citi also cut his price target on the stock to $35 from $46 after the Phoenix company said it is paying $6.9 billion in cash and stock for Plains Exploration & Production Co. and $2.1 billion for McMoRan Exploration Co. It will assume $11 billion in debt.
The deal will create a natural resources conglomerate with assets ranging from oil rigs in the Gulf of Mexico to a huge copper mine in Indonesia.Yu maintained his earnings estimates on the stock because the deal is still subject to a shareholder vote and isn't expected to close before the spring of next year. But he warns that Freeport's shares, after losing 16 percent on Wednesday, may continue to trade lower because of the massive amount of debt the company will take on, possible impacts on earnings and investor pushback. The analyst said he would have put a "Sell" rating on the stock if not for two factors: Most of Freeport's earnings will still be derived from mining, and any doubts about the success of the deal are likely to drive a sharp uptick in the stock. The stock may be headed for a year-low on Thursday. It's down 79 cents, or 2.5 percent, to $31.37 before the opening bell. Its 52-week low is $31.08.

If you find a path with no obstacles, it probably doesn't lead anywhere.Frank A. Clark
Some material things make my life more enjoyable; many, however, would not. I like having an expensive private plane, but owning a half-dozen homes would be a burden. Too often, a vast collection of possessions ends up possessing its owner. The asset I most value, aside from health, is interesting, diverse, and long-standing friends. My wealth has come from a combination of living in America, some lucky genes, and compound interest. Both my children and I won what I call the ovarian lottery. (For starters, the odds against my 1930 birth taking place in the U.S. were at least 30 to 1. My being male and white also removed huge obstacles that a majority of Americans then faced.) My luck was accentuated by my living in a market system that sometimes produces distorted results, though overall it serves our country well. Ive worked in an economy that rewards someone who saves the lives of others on a battlefield with a medal, rewards a great teacher with thank-you notes from parents, but rewards those who can detect the mispricing of securities with sums reaching into the billions. In short, fates distribution of long straws is wildly capricious. The reaction of my family and me to our extraordinary good fortune is not guilt, but rather gratitude. Were we to use more than 1% of my claim checks on ourselves, neither our happiness nor our well-being would be enhanced. In contrast, that remaining 99% can have a huge effect on the health and welfare of others. That reality sets an obvious course for me and my family: Keep all we can conceivably need and distribute the rest to society, for its needs. My pledge starts us down that course.Warren Edward Buffett
When a politician is in opposition he is an expert on the means to some end; and when he is in office he is an expert on the obstacles to it.Gilbert Keith Chesterton
Wanting something is not enough. You must hunger for it. Your motivation must be absolutely compelling in order to overcome the obstacles that will invariably come your way.Les Brown
Obstacles are things a person sees when he takes his eyes off his goal.E. Joseph Cossman
Obstacles are necessary for success because in selling, as in all careers of importance, victory comes only after many struggles and countless defeats. Yet each struggle, each defeat, sharpens your skills and strengths, your courage and your endurance, your ability and your confidence and thus each obstacle is a comrade-in-arms forcing you to become better or quit. Each rebuff is an opportunity to move forward; turn away from them, avoid them, and you throw away your future.Og Mandino
Permanence, perseverance and persistence in spite of all obstacles, discouragement, and impossibilities: It is this, that in all things distinguishes the strong soul from the weak.Thomas Carlyle
Obstacles are those things you see when you take your eyes off the goal.Hannah More
If you can find a path with no obstacles, it probably doesn't lead anywhere.Frank A. Clark
If you are committed to creating value and if you arent afraid of hard times; obstacles become utterly unimportant. A nuisance perhaps; but with no real power. The world respects creation; people will get out of your way.Candice Carpenter
Everyone who achieves success in a great venture, solves each problem as they came to it. They helped themselves. And they were helped through powers known and unknown to them at the time they set out on their voyage. They keep going regardless of the obstacles they met.W. Clement Stone
A man does what he must -- in spite of personal consequences, in spite of obstacles and dangers -- and this is the basis of all human morality.John Fitzgerald Kennedy
The more obstacles you have, the more opportunities there are for God to do something.Clarence W. Jones
The bottom line is that if you become a master at handling problems and overcoming obstacles, what can stop you from success? The answer is nothing! And if nothing can stop you, you become unstoppable!T. Harv Eker
I became successful due to several reasons. I never gave up and I never let anyone or anything get in my way. I use the power of positive thinking to tackle obstacles and challenges so they don't defeat me. Passion for my work and my business is another important reason. I really love my work and I get great satisfaction from it.Lillian Vernon
The desire to fly is an idea handed down to us by our ancestors who, in their grueling travels across trackless lands in prehistoric times, looked enviously on the birds soaring freely through space, at full speed, above all obstacles, on the infinite highway of the air.Wilbur Wright
Life's up and downs provide windows of opportunity to determine your values and goals. Think of using all obstacles as stepping stones to build the life you want.Marsha Sinetar
It cannot be too often repeated that it is not helps, but obstacles, not facilities, but difficulties that make men.William Mathews
Imaginary obstacles are insurmountable. Real ones aren't.Barbara Sher
Obstacles are those frightful things you see when you take your mind off your goals.Unknown
Difficulty need not foreshadow despair or defeat. Rather achievement can be all the more satisfying because of obstacles surmounted.William Hastie
Obstacles are like wild animals. They are cowards but they will bluff you if they can. If they see you are afraid of them... they are liable to spring upon you; but if you look them squarely in the eye, they will slink out of sightOrison Swett Marden
Just because you know where you want to end up doesn�t mean you will not be faced with obstacles, or challenges along the way. Instant success rarely happens.Catherine Pulsifer

Charleston, Sout...
I purchased this beet (or radish!) printed fabric from the 1940s on Etsy several months back, and saved it until I found the perfect pattern for it. Is this it? Doesn't matter now, I've already made it!
I subbed a little loop-and-button for the ties. The button is a little cluster of beets, also from the '40s! Sew darling.
The pattern I used is from the '70s, Simplicity 8262, which I am selling in my Etsy shop. I had a little trouble getting the v-cut neck to keep a good point once I flipped the facing toward the inside. Does anyone have any tips for that? Fusible interfacing, maybe?

I have made that shirt! For the V part in the front I made the right and left sides two different pieces. I used a striped fabric that was cut on the bias because I wanted to have a chevron effect. Check out my projects to see the end result.

Caesars Entertainment, the Las Vegas gambling giant, has lodged new discrimination allegations against the state's top casino regulator, saying in an amended federal lawsuit that the regulator had personally urged Caesars' competitor, Steve Wynn, to stay in the contentious application process.
The regulator, Stephen Crosby, chairman of the state gambling commission, has personal ties to the Everett land owner who could see significant financial benefits from the sale of his property to Wynn, if Wynn is successful at winning the sole casino license for Eastern Massachusetts.
The amended lawsuit claims that Crosby called Wynn in October, after the casino mogul suggested at a hearing he may not pursue one of three state casino licenses if the board intended to require local casino operators to follow Massachusetts law in other jurisdictions. Wynn and another Massachusetts applicant, MGM, run highly profitable casinos in Macau, China, where gambling regulations are significantly different than in the United States.
Crosby "took it upon himself to place a call to Wynn and to ask Wynn to remain in the Massachusetts license process," according to the complaint.
Crosby has also voluntarily defended Wynn in news stories related to the ownership of the Everett land, according to the new portions of the lawsuit. Caesars, which filed the original lawsuit in mid-December, was dropped from the Suffolk Downs project in East Boston after investigators for the gambling commission raised red flags about the company during background checks.

Yay for Quinn!
So I assume this is her in her formal Demacian armour right? Not saying I don't like it, but she doesn't really shout out "I'm on the hunt in the wild chasing after assassins".
Woad Ashe would fit the theme visually imo but hey it's just a teaser for now. I'll be patient
Quinn looks rad, also does this hint at a potential new assasin?
PERSON OF COLoR CHAMPION WHERE?
Seriously, it has been over 2 years since Karma. More diversity pl0x.
I like the concept and art, but I think you're going overboard with this 'non-feminine' female thing. She's decked out in armor like Jarvan when she should be more like Ashe in terms of clothing. Riven doesn't have to be suited up in plate to be badass, why does Quinn? She's a ranged falcolnier- not a front-line tank.
roit pls she needs more boobies pls
who is down voting every positive comment in this thread? lol.

After many deep and profound brain things inside my head, I've come to the conclusion that Dark Heresy 2nd Edition is just not worth investing in. For me Dark Heresy, the original, is still a good playable game which doesn't need to be brought in line with the other games.
Rogue Trader, Deathwatch, Black Crusade and Only War are meant to have stronger characters and powerful adversaries. Dark Heresy is for the average Joes of the Imperium. It isn't perfect. But most of what needs adding to or changing can easily be house ruled.
What the original offers:
(1) Characters who are not impressive when they start
(2) Plenty of homeworld options, which supplements and other games add to.
(3) Loads of skills and talents
(4) Loads of psychic powers
(5) Acolytes need to pay their way, rather than being exempt from having to spend money to aquire weapons, armour and gear.
(6) What may be lacking from the rulebook is well covered in supplements.
(7) Anything not covered in the rulebook and supplements can easily be gleaned from other games and their supplements.
So it may be an old, outdated dinosaur but it will likely stand the test of time long after 2nd Edition has lost it's "new toy" appeal.
That's what I think anyway.
