The short answer is:
@import url("base.css");
Howerever, bare in mind that every
@import statement is a new request to the server. This might not be a problem for you but when optimal performance is required you should avoid the
@import. Think twice!!! Do you even need to have 5 stylesheet files.

SAND CREEK (Lipscomb County). Sand Creek rises in southwestern Lipscomb County (at 36°06' N, 100°26' W) and flows northeast for twelve miles, through flat to rolling terrain characterized by deep, fine sandy loams, to its mouth on Wolf Creek, near Lipscomb (at 36 14' N, 100 17' W). The surrounding vegetation is primarily brush and grasses. The spring-fed creek once flowed constantly but is now mostly dry. It was in the heart of the old Seven K range.

Have you Wordled yet?
Wordle is a fun little web app that will take a bunch of words or an RSS feed and convert it into an (often beautiful) word cloud. It's a fun way to spend an idle few minutes.
I was messing around with it for a while, and wondered what 419 scams (the notorious "Letters from Nigeria" that plague many people's inboxes, trying to con you out of money) would like in a word cloud. So, I took about 25 randomly picked scam emails and shoved them into Wordle.
Here's what I ended up with..
I'm surprised that Nigeria wasn't a more commonly used word. Mind you, my sample size was very small. Maybe it would have been more significant if I had used many more examples of email scams.
I also gave Wordle the RSS feed for this blog to see what it would come up with..
What's the point of all this? I'm not sure. But it was fun. :)

So one of my best friends revealed a secret I asked him to keep last year. I specifically told him to not tell anyone but he did and we stopped talking after. Anyways, he recently tried apologizing but I'm not sure if he's worth another chance plus it takes me a while to learn to trust people. What should I do?

Well you've gotta think about how badly you were hurt and how much trouble it caused for you when he told your secret. Sometimes it's not worth forgiving somebody. You could've gone through some stuff that may have ruined your life. Not sure exactly what it was and how much it impacted you but those are the factors you've gotta weigh.

How should I know?

Yeah, your friendship will never be the same. Sorry.

Kropp: Krems chooses to play at Princeton
The fall months are an interesting and, at times, a stressful time for top junior tennis players who are high school seniors. Because of their skill in the classroom, and the tennis court, they have been participants in the recruiting process and the October-November period is when it can truly intensify.
Sivan Krems of Thousand Oaks is one of those players and the former Westlake High student and current senior at Century Academy announced last month she accepted a scholarship offer to attend Princeton.
While embracing the whole recruiting experience, Krems said the decision did not come easy. Looking primarily at Division I schools, Krems had lots of offers and wound up taking four of her allotted five recruiting visits. In addition to Princeton, she also visited Columbia, Brown and the University of Illinois.
Finally, when it came time to make her decision, Krems was confident Princeton was the best fit.
"I got a great vibe from the Princeton campus," Krems said. "I met a lot of people through the process. My other three visits ... I liked them. I just wish there were four of me."
One factor that persuaded Krems toward Princeton was the opportunity to play for coach Laura Granville. The former Stanford star played the WTA Tour for nine years, registered a victory over former world No. 1 Martina Hingis and reached a career-high singles ranking of No. 28 in 2003.
Krems first began to draw interest from college coaches by winning prominent tournaments like the Ojai Valley Championships three times (twice in the 14s and once in the 16s), finishing 2011 ranked No. 1 in Southern California in the 16s and representing SoCal in Intersectional tournaments.
Sustaining that high level of play in 2012 has been challenging. The results on the court have not been what Krems is accustomed to, but it hasn't been for a lack of effort.
"I've been training hard, working a lot on using my athleticism and footwork," said Krems, who will be playing in the USTA National Open later this month in Irvine.
Being thorough in exploring her college options meant Krems had to sacrifice her normal tournament schedule. A 10-day trip to Israel in the summer also cut into match play. As a result, her Southern California ranking in the 18s, still in the top 20, suffered.
Earlier this summer Krems did earn one of her best wins of the year, a 6-4, 6-2 victory over Kimmy Guerin of Weston, Conn., at Junior Girls Nationals in San Diego. Guerin is one of the top recruits for Wake Forest this fall.
With the recruiting process behind her, Krems is eager to turn all her focus to tournaments. Playing collegiately at Princeton will represent a whole new chapter, but in the immediate future she still has a lot junior tennis in the next six months.
Krems isn't the only member of the class of 2013 weighing college options. Alison Ho of Thousand Oaks, another one of the nation's top juniors, has officially committed to Rice. Savannah Ware of Thousand Oaks and Melissa Baker of Simi Valley have yet to make their choices. ... Sam Querrey registered one of the biggest wins of his career last week when the Thousand Oaks High graduate defeated top-ranked Novak Djokovic 0-6, 7-6 (5), 6-4 in a second-round match the Paris Indoors. It was Querrey's first career victory four-time Grand Slam winner in five tries. Against the other three members of the ATP Tour's big four, Querrey is 0-2 against Roger Federer, 0-3 against Rafael Nadal and 1-5 against Andy Murray. ... Daniel Nguyen of Oxnard suffered a 6-3, 6-2 first-round loss to No. 1 seed Florian Reynet of France in the Pensicola Futures Championships last week.

AUGUSTA, Maine (NEWS CENTER) -- The Hyde School may be just a small campus located on the Maine coast in Bath, but when their fans hit the civic center at tourney time they are loud and proud.
The boarding school remains in session through the week where kids traditionally have a winter break, but when their team plays they board a bus and hit the arena.
The tournament is a chance for all 150 kids at the school to come together. Normally their schedules keep them from bonding as a big group, but that's different at the tournament.
"We have kids from California, we have a guy from Russia here with us right now," explains Senior Scott Georgaklis, "but when you are at Hyde you are treated like anyone else."
The chanting fans also help set the mood for the team.
"It can be kind of intimidating coming in here. It is not always the friendliest crowd coming in here for us and we have got our fans behind us helping us out," says Athletic Director Tyler Plourde.
"It is all about sportsmanship," says Junior Guard Tyquan Ekejiuba, "[the fans] have chants and stuff, but it is nothing against the other team, it is all in support of our team."
The kids get graded on how they conduct themselves at the tournament. It is part of an overall effort grade they get for school spirit and being a good citizen throughout the semester.

1969 Mustang Parts
For the 1969 model year, the Ford Mustang received a major redesign and restyling that, again, changed many 1969 Ford Mustang parts from those of previous model years. In addition, competition was increasing, so many new 1969 Mustang parts were added to gain more power and performance, and resulted in several new special models including the Mach 1, Boss 302 and Boss 429 Mustangs that were sold alongside the already established Shelby GT350 and GT500.

1969Two notable changes were made with 69 Mustang parts. First, the 1969 Mustang parts on several engines were updated to produce more power, which even resulted a few new engines, including the Boss 302 V-8, two new 351 V-8s, the 428 Cobra Jet/Super Cobra Jet V-8 and the massive Boss 429 V-8. The second change to 69 Mustang parts was with the design of the car itself. New sheet metal was used in 1969, sitting on a larger body, with a new grille design that used quad round headlights for the first time. Just shy of 300,000 Mustangs were sold in 1969.
The 1969 Mustang was also well known for some of the special edition models that have become collector items today. Most of these 1969 Mustangs featured significant performance benefits over the standard coupe/fastback model. Some of these performance 1969 Mustang models included the Mach 1, Boss 302 and the Boss 429. Some of these 1969 Mustangs are pretty rare today and are usually only available for considerable expense.
With these changes, CJ Pony Parts continues to offer over 5,500 1969 Ford Mustang parts for customers. 1969 Mustang parts from Battery Tender, Classic Auto Air, KEE Auto Top, March Performance, Superior Axle and many other vendors are all available. CJ Pony Parts also has nearly any accessory for 69 Mustang parts, too.
If you need to upgrade or replace 1969 Ford Mustang parts, contact the knowledgeable sales and customer care staff at CJ Pony Parts. They are available to help any customer with any of their 1969 Mustang parts needs.

Kenny Rogers will release a new album, You Can't Make Old Friends, on October 8. The album includes a new duet — the title cut — with Kenny's longtime friend and collaborator Dolly Parton. It was almost thirty years ago to the day when Kenny and Dolly released their classic hit "Islands In The Stream."
"What a thrill it was for me to work again with my buddy, Dolly Parton, and what a special song," Kenny said. "Working with Dolly is always a little like going home. Everything felt comfortable."
Kenny worked with a collaboration of producers on the project, including Kyle Lehning, Warren Hartman, and Dann Huff. You Can't Make Old Friends is Kenny's first country album since the release of Water & Bridges in 2006 and he considers it the most varied and complete project of his career to date.
"I can honestly say this may be the best album I've ever recorded," he said. "The musical diversity is extraordinary. It goes from songs I would normally sing, to songs I would normally never even listen to. In this business, you do albums to both grow artistically, and for the sheer love of music. We chose what I think are the most diverse and best songs I've ever had access to."
You Can't Make Old Friends is available now for pre-order on iTunes. With every pre-order, customers will receive an instant download of the "You Can't Make Old Friends" duet. Special pre-sale bundles, including a physical copy of the CD, are available at www.kennyrogers.com.
Kenny will continue touring the United States and Canada through the remainder of the year, including his annual Christmas & Hits Through The Years Tour. Additionally, a novel he co-wrote with Mike Blakeley, What Are The Chances, was released September 3. Kenny's bestselling autobiography, Luck Or Something Like It, will be released in paperback September 27.

World Health Organisation (WHO) International Pandemic Phases
Inter-pandemic period
Phase 1
No new influenza virus subtypes have been detected in humans. An influenza virus subtype that has caused human infection may be present in animals. If present in animals, the risk(1) of human infection or disease is considered to be low.
Phase 2
No new influenza virus subtypes have been detected in humans. However, a circulating animal influenza virus subtype poses a substantial risk of human disease.
Pandemic alert period
Phase 3
Human infection(s) with a new subtype, but no human-to-human spread, or at most, rare instances of spread to a close contact.
Phase 4
Small cluster(s) with limited human to-human transmission but spread is highly localized, suggesting that the virus is not well adapted to humans(2)
Phase 5
Larger cluster(s) but human-to-human spread still localized, suggesting that the virus is becoming increasingly better adapted to humans, but may not yet be fully transmissible (substantial pandemic risk).b
Pandemic period
Phase 6
Pandemic phase: increased and sustained transmission in general population.
Post pandemic Period
Return to inter-pandemic period
(1) The distinction between phase 1 and phase 2 is based on the risk of human infection or disease resulting from circulating strains in animals. The distinction would be based on various factors and their relative importance according to current scientific knowledge. Factors may include: pathogenicity in animals and humans; occurrence in domesticated animals and livestock or only in wildlife; whether the virus is enzootic or epizootic, geographically localized or widespread; other information from the viral genome; and/or other scientific information
(2) The distinction between phase 3, phase 4 and phase 5 is based on an assessment of the risk of a pandemic. Various factors and their relative importance according to current scientific knowledge may be considered. Factors may include: rate of transmission; geographical location and spread; severity of illness; presence of genes from human strains (if derived from an animal strain); other information from the viral genome; and/or other scientific information.

It's not every day that someone can boast of getting to lock lips with a celebrity crush, but Zac Efron can scratch that off his list now. For the film "At Any Price" (trailer above), he got to make out with Heather Graham.
However, shooting a love scene with her wasn't as easy as he expected, mostly because he suddenly got the jitters thinking it would not come out good enough.
"I've been a fan of Heather's and had a crush on her since I can remember," Efron said at a recent press event, as cited by Page Six" target="_blank">PageSix.
"She's always been the epitome of that perfect girl. I wanted to get it right," he added.
Graham too noted that everyone involved, including director Ramin Bahrani, were very "nervous," adding that, "I thought it was so funny. I was suddenly this expert."

Drop what you're doing. I mean it. Stop whatever it is that you're doing and go online to find out when the next showing is. Take a friend, go alone, doesn't matter. Moneyball isn't about baseball. No way. This is about taking a chance, taking a risk, putting it all on the line. This is what it feels like to try to (and succeed in) overthrowing the existing order of things. It's about finding out not only who your friends are, but how it feels to be alone.
I don't even like baseball. And I don't particularly care much for Brad Pitt. You probably don't, either. Doesn't matter. In this movie he is Billy Beane, GM of the Oakland Athletics, which just lost the American League Division Series to the New York Yankees in 2001. No wonder. The Yankees had a $114 million salary budget to finance their race for the pennant, compared to the A's $39 million.

Ford Blend Door Fixes
It seems the dreaded blend door problem manifests itself throughout the Ford product line. Google searches locate references to it on trucks, Expeditions, Lincoln Navigators and even some of the automobile lines. Most likely the cause is failure of the ABS plastic in the top door mount due to prolonged exposure to heat. The plastic becomes brittle and eventually shatters.
The symptom is loss of control over the the temperature of the air exiting through the various outlets of the manual heat/AC system. When it's broken, you either get full heat or full cold with no control in between. The Max AC still works okay as it uses different ducting, but normal AC gives you full heat. Or more rarely, the door can get stuck in the cool position and you get no heat. So I created the Last Resort Blend Door Fix as explained below.
NEWS FLASH! Recent Developments
An alternative to the below described Last Resort Blend Door Fix, there is now also a product called the HeaterTreater that specifically addresses the broken blend door. This didn't exist when I did it the hard way. It is a steel door kit that uses the same method to access the plenum box. There is no dashboard removal required, is good for the life of the car, and takes about an hour to install. For those who would rather have a garage shop perform the installation, HeaterTreater has a network of shop affiliates around the country. They also make blend door repair kits for many other vehicles including Ford, Jeep, Dodge, and Chevy. Check them out at www.heatertreater.net
Now On To "THE LAST RESORT BLEND DOOR FIX"
If you really want to fabricate it yourself -- this is not for the faint of heart. This permanent fix requires some extensive modifications to your vehicle. Don't try it if you are not mechanically inclined and don't blame me if it doesn't work or something gets seriously screwed up! YOU ARE ON YOUR OWN. This page assumes you have seen and understand the quick fix found a this site.
First, turn the ignition on, turn on the heater and then rotate the temp control to full heat. This is done to get the actuator servo in the right position.
Then, open the glove box door and squeeze the tabs towards each other so they clear the frame and the door drops all the way down. You need not remove the door.
Carefully pry the actuator servo off the top of the plenum with a large flat blade screwdriver. Turn the ignition back on and rotate the heat control back and forth to test the motor. The heater or AC has to be on for it to work. If the shaft doesn't turn, you need a new actuator. Rotate it to the full heat position again. Disconnect the wiring plug and get it out of the way.
|Cut a major access hole in the front of the plenum. Use a hobbyists tool like a Dremel Moto Tool or equivalent. I got one at a local auto parts store for about half the price of a Dremel. You will need the optional flexible extension shaft and some extra grinding/cutting wheels. Take a deep breath and start cutting. Create a hole similar to the one shown below. Be careful around the AC and heat components. A slip here can cost a bundle!
As you can see, the hole is quite large. It needs to be. You cannot remove the blend door through a smaller hole, and you need to remove it completely from the the plenum. I actually had to enlarge the hole twice after making the orginal cut. (we'll come back the seam noted on this photo.)
When I could get my hand in through the hole, I found the blend door had fallen completely out of place because the entire top of the shaft was gone. When the door is intact it is retained by the lower end of the shaft fitting into a socket on the bottom of the plenum and a depressed area on top around the actuator servo's shaft access hole.
|Here's a view of the door along with a broken piece from the top of the shaft. The remaining pieces are lost forever.
The bottom of the door is on the left, the top on the right. The top always breaks off. Note the purpose of the foam is to seal the door when in the full open or full closed positions. Be careful with it or you will have leakage and inexact control over the output temp.
Obtain a section of 9/16 thin wall brass tubing. You can find it at most hobby shops or at ACE Hardware. I had to order one from the local ACE as they didn't ordinarily carry that size. Be sure it's 9/16. It comes in 1/32" increments, but one size smaller or one size larger won't work.
Using the grinder, carefully slit the tubing up the side so it fits snugly over the existing shaft for the blend door and the slit ends such that you have a complete circle near the top--do NOT slit the tube all the way to the top!
Note that the tube protrudes 1/4" above the top of the door. It should be a tight fit and not easiy move when it's in place. While you have the grinder in hand, shorten the bottom of the hinge post by 1/4"and round the edges like it was before you shortened it. It makes no difference in function, but it is impossible to reinstall the door if you don't.
The following three photos show the insertion of a plastic (nylon) spacer, also found at ACE hardware. This spacer is important because it holds the output shaft of the actuator servo in place, keeping it from flopping around and possibly causing it to come loose from the blend door once it's installed. Slot the spacer so the pin(screw) in the actuator servo has something to grip. The spacer fit a little loosely so I wrapped one turn of duct tape around it to hold it place and center it. It cannot possibly fall out so duct tape is fine.
Below shows the spacer in place with a the slot properly aligned. Note that there is no scientific way to determine the alignment because the shape of the original top of the shaft was lost when it shattered. I eyeballed it a little less than 120° from a line drawn along the top of the blend door. (about the 1:00 position if you look at the door from the top.)
After pressing the spacer firmly in place, grind slots in the brass tubing to match those in the spacer. Not shown here, but grind the top of the spacer so it is flush with the top of the brass tubing, which, again, ends 1/4" above the top of the blend door.
|Now drill a hole through the actuator servo such that it bisects the curved end of the shaft. The actuator was in the full heat position when it was disconnected so the hole lines up with the longest side of the actuator. Insert a 1/8" screw through the hole and clip the head off. File the ends and then test it in the slot in the brass tubing/plastic spacer now forming the top of th blend door. It should protrude from the slot, but not so much that it won't fit through the hole in the top of the plenum
Now it's time to start putting it back together. The bad news is that with the blend door returned to its orginal height, including the restored shaft, it's too long and won't fit back into place. So now you need to cut a clearance hole in the bottom of the plenum so you can tip the door into place. (See below)
I got a lot of cuts on my knuckles at this point and said some really bad words, but eventually it almost fits.
Here's where you scroll back up the page to the photo of the hole cut through the plenum to where it says to 'Note Seam." Insert a very large screwdriver or pry bar into that seam and apply pressure such that the plenum distorts and the top and bottom of the plenum separate by about a half inch at that seam. Say the magic words and the door will pop into place. If all is correct, the door will stay in position, with the top of the new shaft very slightly entering the hole for the shaft of the actuator servo. It's important that it does so the door doesn't fall away during assembly.
(Note that the first time I tried it and couldn't get it into place, I shortened the top of the 1/4" overhang from the top of the door to the top of the shaft and then it went in, but wouldn't stay there. (Not a good thing, I had to do it over)
In this photo of the bottom view of the plenum, you can see the clearance hole and that the blend door is installed and visible.
|For convenience, turn on the ignition and, with the heater/AC on, turn the temp control to the center. The actuator will rotate to a position that will make it easier to install it into the top of the plenum. Then gingerly insert the actuator servo into place while manipulating the blend door through the hole in the front of the plenum. See the photo below that shows that the screw through the actuator shaft has engaged the slot in the top of the brass tubing & spacer. Rotate the temperature dial and you will feel the blend door move from side to side and seal against the housing on each side to provide either full heat, full cool or anywhere in between. Neat, huh?
I then covered up the holes in the plenum with duct tape for a couple of days to test the system. It works as good as it was engineered to work (not real great, actually, but that's a Ford issue) and it will now outlast the car, as it should.
The last step is purchase a fiberglass kit and repair the plenum. I bought a kit at Pep Boys for $9 that included glass cloth, resin and hardener. Protect the carpet (it's real messy), cut the glass cloth into strips and have at it. I used duct tape in some areas to hold the pieces in place until the resin dried and then removed the tape after it cured and applied another layer of resin and cloth.
CAUTION: Scroll back up to see the photo of the clearance hole cut into the bottom of the plenum. When you are repairing the bottom, do NOT slop resin inside and glue the blend door so it won't move. Turn the temp control so it is out of the way as shown in the photo. Do NOT allow any excess material to protrude into the hole that might impede the rotation of the door. I actually cut a scrap of plastic so it was about 3/4" larger than the piece I originally cut out from the plenum and epoxied the two together so it created somewhat of a flange around the hole and then carefuly glued the assembly into place. After it cured, I added a layer of fiberglass over the whole piece.
In most areas there are two layers of cloth/resin combo. It's not very pretty, but it works great. The whole project cost about $15 plus the cost of the Moto-Tool, but, hey, I wanted one of those anyway. It took a couple of hours.

Reeeeeally Wrapping Up on Uncanny, For Now…By srbissette on April 15th, 2010
Posted In: News
Parting Shots on Tales of the Uncanny
Concluding This Overview of Things to Come
See yesterday's post for the first part of this 'wrap-up' (I know, I know, I do go on…)
* We've cooked up a lot of completely new characters, concepts and stories unlike anything you've seen before in connection with this alternate comics universe.
We hope this, too, will add to the fun, and bring something new and unexpected to the package and the future we've planned for these characters and concepts.
Given the clear parameters of the original 1998 contract drawn up between the original creators of the original 1993 Image Comics series in which N-Man, Hypernaut, The Fury and Sky Solo debuted, I also tapped the original issue's respective editorial and letters pages (some of which Rick Veitch and/or I wrote and produced at the time, to ensure the issues were completed on schedule), along with the various veiled references to past characters, stories and such that were cited in the trio of characters/concepts I fully own. Those were fair game, too, and I cleared a final list of those names, characters and concepts with Rick Veitch and my legal rep in January of this year, just to make sure I wasn't treading outside of my turf. Rick cleared that list, and we've been having fun with many of them ever since.
When one of the contributors to this first volume, the enormously talented Josh Rosen (CCS senior and co-founder/co-editor/contributor to the excellent Werewolf! and Werewolf!! anthologies), seized on a reference to Draculex in one of the existing N-Man, Fury, and Hypernaut stories, I worked up character designs and we even nailed the time period and what the Comics Code Authority would and wouldn't have allowed at the time (1962) for such a character.
[Above: My concept sketches for Draculex, incorporating elements from the 1961 Mexican monster movie Baron del Terror/Brainiac and my past Rawhead Rex character designs, which I never signed away rights to; below: Josh Rosen's refinements on my sketches, getting a feel for the character in prep for the N-Man story pages Josh penciled for Tales of the Uncanny: Vol. 1; Draculex character, concept, art TM and ©2010 Stephen R. Bissette, all rights reserved.]
We had a lot of fun working all these stages through, and Josh did a fantastic job plotting (with input from Tim and myself) and penciling an action-packed sequence of an N-Man story featuring Draculex — including three panels the Code nixed, requiring those panels be redrawn!
Of course, we made that 'history' up. We made all this 'history' of the Naut Comics line up. That's the game. That's the fun.
All that and more will be in the final volume, out later this year from About Comics!

Deathmask, The Fury TM and ©2010 Stephen R. Bissette, all rights reserved.]
* Finally, a short note on my long-term plans for these characters, concepts and properties:
It's too soon to go into any detail, but as a point of reference, my long-term plans (which I'm still formulating and formalizing with my attorney) is to nurture and develop these properties so as to leave them, as part of my estate, to benefit my now-adult children and future generations of students at the Center for Cartoon Studies, should they outlive me (and God, I hope they do!).
My fondest hope would be to forge publishing relationships with About Comics and other comics and/or book publishers to package and publish various annual projects, with the goal of providing a venue for CCSers that will earn them visibility, income and royalties (along with myself and my heirs) while building a scholarship for future CCSers.
I've been retired from the American comics industry since 1999. I didn't ever wish to go back to that industry, and this was precipitated by the events of the past year and particularly this past January. I pursue this with some reluctance and great trepidation, but I believe I must proceed as I am. What was intended to be a modest vanity press experiment, printed locally or in the CCS production lab, has grown into this venture since the collapse of what was planned for 2010.
These characters, concepts and properties have been essentially orphaned since 1993.
While no creative, conceptual 'child' is in any way measurable against our real children — my own real-life children — to honor and fulfill my responsibilities to my real-life children, it is incumbent upon me, too, to take care of my creative 'children' — my stories, my copyrights, my trademarks, and my creative properties.
It seems self-evident to me that to take care of one, you must take care of the other.
I'm doing my daughter Maia Rose and my son Daniel no favors if I leave this behind for them to work with, deal with, earn from, dispose of or clean up without trying to do my best for them all while I'm here on Earth.
To that end, I have been working hard for years to clean up my legal affairs and lines of ownership — and now, it's time I do something with all the work itself. My work.
Including this quartet of characters — N-Man, The Fury, The Hypernaut, and Sky Solo.
[Right: Bissette Vyrmix design; TM and ©2010 Stephen R. Bissette, all rights reserved.]
The only way to do that, it seems clear to me, is to finally cut myself loose from the past baggage associated with them, and do something with them. Bring them to life. Make them live again. Make them invaluable and of interest again.
As I've already stated, these are necessarily work-for-hire projects at this time, but nurturing venues for these properties could in time also create titles/projects that could incorporate CCSers' creator-owned stories. For instance, if Tales of the Uncanny were a sf comic title, book or annual, the Hypernaut and Queep material would be TM and © Stephen R. Bissette, but additional non-Hypernaut sf comics art and stories appearing in the title would belong entirely to their respective creators.
That said, I'm taking this one step at a time, and with great caution. Having published (Taboo) and self-published (Tyrant, SpiderBaby Comix), I know the ropes, but I've no desire or intention to publish — the market isn't what it was in the 1980s and '90s, and I will need partners in this long-term venture willing to work with creator-owned properties and trademarks (mine, and potentially that of future contributors).
We'll see if that's possible. I'll be doing my best.
Lest those (like myself) who have ethical issues with the whole premise of work-for-hire pounce, let me remind you that I've addressed these issues at length in my fateful The Comics Journal #186 interview back in the mid-1990s. Under current North American copyright and trademark laws, work-for-hire is the only legal foundation that permits me to retain rights to my properties; furthermore, as I also noted in that TCJ interview, many celebrated writers of the current generation of comics creators are only able to mount their celebrated published comics works because they do not self-publish, but rather work with other publishers who facilitate the legal ownership issues and all that entails — allowing DC Comics, Vertigo, etc. to handle these legal affairs doesn't neutralize the ethical issues, but it does facilitate what those creators can do as collaborative creators and/or partners, and deal with the legal issues many have been loathe to confront and engage with in their own careers otherwise.
I'm dealing with these legal matters head-on and up-front, and am starting from ground zero on this venture financing this initial project out of my own pocket (About Comics isn't bankrolling the creative package, I am; About Comics is our publisher, seeing to printing and distribution on this first volume). Have no illusions: I'm doing all this on a teacher's salary and what royalties I earn quarterly from past work still in print. Nobody, least of all me, is 'getting rich' off this venture.
I wish I were better financed and could move forward without relying on work-for-hire as a legal framework, but I can't; that said, our agreements on these initial efforts do guarantee royalties to all involved if this maiden voyage proves profitable, and we're being as forthright and fair as possible every step of the way. All advance and royalty shares are based on page count and pro rata every contributors part in that final page count, and we'll see where it goes.
OK, that's that. Hereafter, we'll just tease and tantalize with occasional glimpses of what we've done and what we're doing until it's all in hand.
The official announcement from About Comics will be posted here tomorrow, with final release dates to be announced later this spring… be patient, I think most of you will consider what's coming will be worth the wait!

I have three things I'd like to say today. First, while you were sleeping last night, 30,000 kids died of starvation or diseases related to malnutrition. Second, most of you don't give a shit. What's worse is that you're more upset with the fact that I said shit than the fact that 30,000 kids died last night.

This quote has been passed around a lot, and there's always been something that bothers me about it. Mostly, I think it's somewhat insulting to his audience. Apathy towards global suffering, genocide neglect, etc., are serious problems, but I'm pretty sure that at the worst, his audience was just as concerned/unconcerned about the starvation of children as they were about the fact that he said "shit." That is to say, that they were probably shocked to hear it in the moment, but then moved on with their lives. In the best case scenario, many of them might actually lose sleep over the starvation of children, where as a stray swear word on the part of Tony Campolo probably only warranted a moment's discomfort. The statement has two problems as I see it. One, as I have already said, it's probably not true. Two, it stinks of a smug sense moral superiority, as if to say, "Not only are you apathetic, but you're also a bunch of insufferable prudes." In the end, the problem is not that we're not sufficiently shocked or moved when confronted with the true magnitude of human suffering around the globe, but rather that we lack the moral machinery to sustain an empathic response to something that large, that abstract, and that distant. It's just simply not something that we're built to deal with psychologically. We all have this problem, not just a bunch of stodgy old churchmen sitting in pews and judging a traveling preacher for his foul language. Campolo is probably right to call people out on their apathy, but he can do that without the cheap shots and the shock tactics.
- http://www.patheos.com/community/exploringourmatrix/ James F. McGrath
Thanks for your comment, Dan! I'm not sure I agree. First, because I have been connected with a Christian community in which people were viewed as backsliders if they swore but were never asked whether they were doing anything about starvation on a global scale – certainly our failure to do so did not lead to a diagnosis of lapsing as Christians in the way that swearing did. Second, because I think that sometimes a shock tactic or striking image can make an impact that our vague awareness of there being a problem somewhere in the world doesn't accomplish.
- Dan
I agree that you need to have more than a vague awareness of there being a problem somewhere in the world. I don't think that this statement of Campolo's accomplishes that. I think that it gives people the same vague awareness of there being a problem somewhere in the world at the same time as insulting them.
It also creates a false dichotomy, as though someone couldn't be uncomfortable with swearing AND care about starving children.
It's true that I've never heard from the pulpit of any church (of any denomination) the sentiment that you are backsliding if you're not doing anything to alleviate starvation on a global scale. Why? Because it's much easier to condemn someone for doing something than failing to do something. But you'll hear plenty of positive exhortations to help the poor.
All in all, I agree with the basic sentiment that a lot of Christians have their priorities backwards. But I would focus the lens elsewhere. For instance. I find that most conservative Christians I meet are very generous with their finances, but much of their giving either goes into the church coffers in the form of tithes, or else goes to fund evangelistic missions overseas, and not enough goes to actually alleviating physical suffering and hunger. It seems to me that if you talk to churches and try to tap into the natural well of generosity that already exists there and simply try to direct it to the places where it is most needed, you'll get a better response.

It's amazing how many Christians care more about bad language than they do helping the poor…

Kick-ass awesome quote!! Very appreciative quote. I agree with you. Thanks!
- Len Hamilton
Consider it this way: Human or animal excrement, "waste", feces, "night soil" and other terms are simply more acceptably suitable ways of identifying what some cultures openly call "shit" — but by whatever name it is referred to, it is a substance resulting from a digestive function that is utterly essential and necessary in the life process.
Starvation, whether in humans or animals, should not be considered an essential or necessary life process, utterly or otherwise. Still, it happens.
Tony's point has been demonstrated countless times since this remark first gained notoriety. Now, do you want to keep arguing or get busy? Get angry about what's important. Children are still dying. Are you, personally, still doing nothing?
- Scott Zielsdorf
James, Doctor, Doc…I was hearing story when studying for the ministry way back in like 1978 or 80, of course I will admit, due to some nasty health issues later in life, my memory is not what it used to be and the entire decade of the 80′s is a bit of a blur. Do you have, not a source, per se, but the context? Who was Campolo addressing, where and when? I intend to quote it in a blog post of mine but it would be nice to flesh it out a bit. And I intend to use it, a) in a positive way and b) as the good Dr. Campolo used it where ever he was, which I assume, with devasting effect.
And why I ask you is that where I find it on the web is a little like searching to see if alligators live in sewers. Everyone seems to have a different story,. Thanks.
- http://www.patheos.com/blogs/exploringourmatrix/ James F. McGrath
I provided a link to the source that I got it from. It is of course a story about a talk (probably one given more than once) and so some variation is not surprising. If you find details about one or more specific occasions when Campolo said this, please do share them, but I doubt there is anything like a written "original source."

I heard Tony Campolo say these words. This quote is correctly attributed and more importantly, he's right!

Better (tongue-in-cheek!) Tony was a little more "King James-ish" Dung is the biblical word!

Numbers Don't Lie — Except When They're Fabricated
Behold, the sublime insanity of the administration's job creation lies.
July 15, 2009 - 12:03 am
Anyone who remembers his campaign pronouncement that a Kansas tornado had left "ten thousand dead" and "an entire town destroyed" (the 2007 storm actually killed twelve people) knows that President Obama hasn't been one to worry about playing fast and loose with a few facts or numbers.
However, Mr. Obama's dogged refusal to deviate from his "150,000 jobs created or saved" by the $787,000,000,000.00 American Recovery and Reinvestment Act is beginning to lend itself to more than a little head-scratching.
Mr. Obama and his administration have been making the claim for several weeks now. On May 27, "White House economic advisers" announced the "stimulus" had "created or saved 150,000 jobs" since its inception 100 days before — an average increase (or savings) of about 1,500 jobs a day.
Twelve days later, on June 8, Vice President Joe Biden made the same proclamation on a conference call with reporters: the stimulus had "saved or created 150,000 [jobs]" to date.
Theoretically, there should have been about 18,000 more jobs than that, given the twelve day interval between the May 27 announcement and the June 8 call. But never mind that.
Just for good measure — and despite the fact that economists and simple observers who had the virtue of being awake were throwing up their hands in disbelief that an administration would actually make such a claim about something as obviously incalculable as a "saved" job — Biden added that there had been "no reasonable challenges to the estimates."
Last Wednesday, July 8 — a full 30 days after the Biden conference call and 42 days after the initial 100 day claim of "150,000 jobs created or saved" — Obama's deputy director of the Office of Management and Budget announced the stimulus had (you guessed it!) "created or saved 150,000 jobs since its inception in February."
Judging by the administration's own claims alone, that's one package that seems to have lost its, well, stimulation.
Interestingly, Obama himself said in early June — just after he first made the 150,000 job claim — that he was "not satisfied" with the package's progress. Then this past Saturday, July 11 — after a full month of no job creation or savings, according to his administration's claims — he suddenly declared that the stimulus had been a success and that it has "worked as intended."
So the intent of this $787,000,000,000.00 legislation, which the president claimed would "create or save 3.5 to 4 million jobs," was actually to "create or save" 150,000 jobs in the first 100 days, then hold fast at that number?
That seems like a wise investment — only $5.25 million of taxpayers' dollars per job!

National Black Marriage Day celebrated in Abilene on Saturday
For Verna Eugene, co-founder of Psalms 91 Outreach Ministry in Abilene, sustaining a healthy marriage for 27 years hasn't always been easy.
But with God's help and proper communication skills, it's something any couple can achieve, she said.
"When we put (God) in the center, about 15 years ago, my marriage became what it is now," Eugene said. "We communicate better. Things that we didn't know how to work out, we prayed about it and God showed us how to work those things out."
Eugene and her husband, Pastor Tyrone Eugene of The Factory church — of which the outreach is a part — want to share their experiences to promote more successful marriages at their Black Marriage Day celebration on Saturday.
The free, two-part event, hosted by ministry, begins at 9 a.m. at the American Best Inn, 5203 South First St.
Verna Eugene said any couple, married or not, is welcome to attend the celebration. However, children cannot accompany adults.
The nonprofit organization will join more than 300 communities nationwide this month to honor Black Marriage Day — an initiative started in 2002 by Nisa Islam Muhammad, founder of the nonprofit Wedded Bliss Foundation in Washington, D.C.
Today, about 30 percent of the African-American population is married, compared with 61 percent in 1960. Eugene said her goal is to inform the black community that successful marriages still exist.
So far, she said, about 24 people are signed up. From 9 a.m. to noon, single and married couples will take "healthy relationship" courses on communication, forgiveness and intimacy.
Later, at 6:30 p.m., married couples who attended the earlier session "will renew vows, dedicate their marriages back to God and then have dinner," she said.
"A lot of people marry and think they can change the other person," Eugene said. "We learned how to accept each other for who we are."
According to the Black Marriage Day website, 44 percent of African-Americans think marriage is obsolete. Eugene disagrees with that idea.
"I'm so glad today that I didn't get a divorce. That I hung in there," she added.

Generously supported in part by Welcome Back Veterans (WBV), an initiative of the McCormick Foundation and Major League Baseball.
In addition to clinical and support services for veterans and family members, the Red Sox Foundation and Massachusetts General Hospital Home Base Program offers education for clinicians and community members about the "invisible wounds of war"—post traumatic stress (PTSD) and traumatic brain injury (TBI)—and the challenges faced by returning Iraq and Afghanistan veterans and their families.
The Home Base Program offers clinical and community education in a variety of settings, including on-line and in-person training sessions, as well as web-based educational materials for clinicians, educators, and other community members.
Approximately 40% of returning Iraq and Afghanistan veterans will seek medical care outside the VA Healthcare System. Home Base is working to help community clinicians recognize the signs of combat or deployment-related stress and traumatic brain injury in veterans and military-connected families who are patients in their clinical practices. Many veterans and their families turn to their primary care doctor, pediatrician, clergy, school nurse, teacher, counselor and others in the community as 'first responders' for initial crisis intervention and counseling. These community caregivers have a genuine interest and desire to help, but they may need additional training to understand the military culture, recognize the symptoms of traumatic brain injury or deployment– and combat–related stress, or know where to refer patients for care. At Home Base, we believe that we are all first-responders in caring for our returning veterans and families.
Home Base offers education and training to meet a variety of needs. We are a resource for clinicians and community members throughout New England who want to understand and support the mental health needs of veterans and families. We work with:
Home Base collaborates with the MGH Psychiatry Academy, and the Department of Veterans Affairs National Center for PTSD, to provide live and web–based educational offerings that are engaging, interactive and practical for physicians, psychologists, nurses, social workers and other health professionals. The MGH Psychiatry Academy offers advanced teaching methods and interactive learning formats that focus on solving real-world challenges, while building new models of collaborative care (provider, service members, family and community) to enhance resilience and self-management skills.
The following list of media coverage, significant research studies and on line resources is designed to give insight into the experience – in the war zone and at home -- of Iraq and Afghanistan veterans and military families.

A public service advertising campaign, developed for Home Base by the advertising firm Hill Holliday has been recognized with more than five prestigious awards including multiple Hatch Awards and a London International Award.
The campaign, which was developed last spring in time for PTSD Awareness Month, was designed pro bono by Hill Holliday. The ad campaign was designed to increase awareness for Home Base and the "invisible wounds" of war – Post-Traumatic Stress and Traumatic Brain Injury – which affect one-in-three returning Iraq and Afghanistan veterans. The campaign's call to action is helping to raise funds to support Home Base clinical, education and research services which enable veterans and their families to recover.
A unique Beetle Bailey cartoon in the Boston Sunday Globe by legendary cartoonist Mort Walk about the invisible wounds was the centerpiece for the launch of the campaign, which included print, radio and out of home advertising. The cartoon and an accompanying video received Silver and Gold Hatch Awards respectively. Hill Holliday won a total of 39 Hatch Awards this year.
A radio ad titled "You Hear, They Hear" also part of the public service campaign won Gold at the London International Awards.
Take a look at different parts of the campaign:
Congratulations to our good friends at Hill Holliday for their creative accomplishments. Home Base is deeply grateful for your brilliant work on our behalf and especially for the agency's commitment to New England service members, veterans and their families.

Excellent relaxing weekend, superb location, pet friendly.
Very good we will be back
Fantastic! beautiful lodge, beautiful surroundings!
This was our 2nd visit we booked the same lodge, just as good as first time around.
The lodge is in a lovely setting but felt like you had arrived after it had been closed up for the winter. The hot tub area was in need of an upgrade and good clean. The windows needed cleaning, there was dust under the television stand. The mattress on the bed was uncomfortable and sagging. I felt that the lodge was quite dark inside. Also the main bins were as you come into the site and quite a walk just to dispose of your rubbish. Quite a walk if you are not going out and it is raining. Did not come across any staff. It was a 4 star standard lodge but paid 5 star price. The bathroom also was very substandard and dated and the shower was in need of a good clean and you were also conscious of the shower base leaking over. Overall lodge to expectations.
The lodges are set in a perfect location evenly spaced with enough privacy. Nice and quiet the only sound really comes from the sheep and the ducks.
All my family had a lovely relaxing holiday. It was so good I booked for next year as soon as we got back!
Definately going back, can't fault anything.
Perfect holiday retreat. Lovely lodge and settings. Would definitely return.
We fell in love with the place before we even arrived just by looking at the pictures and then upon arrival we quickly realised that the pictures didn't do it justice. We had an excellent holiday from day one and once the car was unpacked we quickly relaxed into the surroundings. All four of us loved every minute on the site but guest number five our dog enjoyed it more than all of us.
Absolutely idyllic surroundings and accommodation! beautiful countryside; handy for all amenities too.
Lovely surroundings, nice clean accommodation. Accessibility to Angelsey and snowdinia.
fantastic lodge in an idyllic setting
Fantastic stay- can't wait to return!

Two area men suspected in theft of 9,500 pounds of copper wiring
A joint effort by several law enforcement agencies in the Big Country has led to the arrests of two suspects in the theft and attempted resale of more than 9,500 pounds of industrial grade copper wire.
Tommye Joe Herring, 26, of Haskell, and Travis Wade McGee, 25, of Anson, were arrested Thursday on charges stemming from the theft in Stamford of the copper wire, from American Electric Power, and other items, according to a statement released by the Texas Department of Public Safety. The men were being held in the Jones County Jail.
After the Haskell County Sheriff's Office contacted the DPS on Wednesday regarding the theft, investigating officials discovered and seized 4,420 pounds of "stripped, bare bright copper" that had been sold to a metal recycling business, according to the statement.
"The individuals making the transaction were anticipated to return to sell an additional amount of copper to the center," the statement said.
Authorities initiated surveillance of the recycling center, according to the statement, and when the suspects returned, they were arrested and an additional 4,100 pounds of copper seized.
After a written consent to search was obtained for the residence of one of the suspects, a stolen trailer and specialized tools, owned by Powerline Services, and an additional 1,000 pounds of copper were recovered, according to the statement.
The Jones County Sheriff's Office took part in the investigation.

Fire destroys Tibetan town in China-A A +A
Sunday, January 12, 2014
BEIJING -- A fire that raged for nearly 10 hours razed an ancient Tibetan town in southwest China that's popular with tourists, burning down hundreds of buildings after fire engines failed to get onto the narrow streets, state media and witnesses said.
The fire broke out at about 1:30 a.m. Saturday in the ancient Tibetan quarter of Dukezong, which dates back more than 1,000 years and is known for its preserved cobbled streets, ancient structures and Tibetan culture. Dukezong is part of scenic Shangri-La county in Deqen prefecture.
The fire destroyed about 242 houses and shops in Dukezong, dislocated more than 2,600 people, and torched many historic artifacts, the official Xinhua News Agency said.
There was no immediate report of any casualties, and the cause of the fire was not yet known. State media, citing local authorities, said the blaze started in a guesthouse and was ruled accidental.
With fire engines kept out, local residents lined up to pass buckets of water to combat the fire, the Deqen prefecture government said.
More than 2,000 firefighters, soldiers, police, local officials and volunteers responded to the blaze and brought it under control at around 11 a.m., the Shangri-La county government said.
Once called Gyaitang Zong, the county renamed itself Shangri-La in 2001, hoping to draw tourists by the reference to the mythical Himalayan land described in James Hilton's 1933 novel. Like hundreds of Chinese cities and counties, Shangri-La renovated its old neighborhood, Dukezong, turning it into a tourist attraction filled with shops and guesthouses. (AP)

Pew: Race Back to Dead Even--But McCain Improves on Issues, Enthusiasm
9:40 AM, Sep 19, 2008 • By GARY ANDRES
A new Pew survey demonstrates what many other national polls have revealed in the last few days--the national horserace is about as tight as possible. The latest Pew research finds the race at a near dead heat of 46 percent Obama and 44 percent McCain, nearly identical to the pre-convention 46 percent to 43 percent spread.
Both candidates received post-convention bounces, but now the numbers have reverted back pretty close to pre-Denver/St. Paul levels.
The Pew survey, however, does show some notable improvements for McCain on enthusiasm-related measures:
The poll also shows progress for McCain on several key issues:
Finally, Pew, like other surveys also finds McCain has solidified his position among independents post convention. While Obama slipped one point among these unaffiliated voters, McCain surged by nine. These findings are consistent with another part of the Pew study that shows a surge in GOP favorability among independents.
Bottom line: I believe the race is back to a near-draw in the national horserace. Americans may put their opinions on hold pending next Friday night's first presidential debate in Mississippi.

Kids need self esteem too, and self esteem exercises for children are easy to do.
Kids can have a unique way of thinking, and if you have two or more kids, none are the same ... each thinks and acts differently.
Strange as it may seem, just because they grow up together, they do not see events and situations EXACTLY the same way. Just listen to an argument about something that's happened or something they have seen. Each child will have a different interpretation of the event ...(sometimes only slight, other times it's almost as if they were not in each others company at all)
What causes this skewed perception of reality. Why would children "see" what happened differently, especially if they were brought up in the same family.
Surely you would think there would be collusion ... not division.
We are discussing self esteem exercises for children, because at some stage, as a parent, you are going to come across the situation that maybe a child is not as equipped with as much self esteem and confidence, necessary to get on well in life!
When a child is growing up in the world, he/she is often forced to think and act a certain way. All the "don't do that" "stop it" "be quite" and so on, may cause the child to hide his/her true feelings.
With feelings squashed and driven deep inside and covered over the child becomes secretive, sometimes fearful and often feels "less than" because they do not seem to do anything right.
Some kids appear so confident that they are often brash and outspoken ...
But deep inside, there could be uncertainty, doubt and the world can start to look like a scary place when you are growing up.
As innocent as a baby ...
From infancy the child forms his/her beliefs about what the world IS to them. This is learned by watching and listening, at home, in school, through the TV, friends and teachers.
Sadly most of us live in a negative world, where we struggle to survive from day to day, enmeshed in the rat race, struggling to get ahead, and this daily activity feeds the Childs belief's about the world they have entered.
In later years the kind of person he/she dates, and the jobs your son or daughter gets could all be determined by these "belief's " ingrained during childhood and now forming the way they act, think and believe.
We have established how a child will receive their "platform" for interacting with the world, and that this platform of belief's and ideas, will probably not be positive, given the way the world is right now.
Perhaps by now, as a parent, you may be seriously interested in the self esteem of your child.
You will want to do what it takes to ensure that your child is able to maintain his/her self esteem. If you answered "yes" a good place to start is with self esteem exercises for children.
Many schools today, realize the value of these self esteem exercises for children, and are actively taking them up. So if your school is still not into it, perhaps it is time you spoke with them, and urged them to read this to understand why it's so important.
If they still don't agree about the self esteem exercises for children, perhaps you might think about finding a school that does. After all, we cannot play around with the future of our son's and daughters.
Enough said ... now for some actual self esteem exercises for children
The first exercise is a very simple really - and, you will have to do this at home.
Strange but True ... believe it or not!
Children love to perform household chores, and experts are now saying that this may improve their self esteem.
So why not use this opportunity?
Ask your child to always:
You could also ask your child to do some grocery shopping and even pay your bills. Self esteem exercises for children like this will give you the opportunity to "praise" your child.
Praise is very important, according to one teacher ...
Schools could take up some self esteem exercises for children too. Here's a great game that can be tried.
Once the papers are collected, the teacher can read out the good qualities.
Every child would love to hear good things about themselves,, and this can immensely increase the self confidence.
The exercise above is a simple one, but can deliver huge results ...try it and see.
