Adventure Comics # 397, September, 1970
4 comments:
Great job of showing the entire Zond story, since DC is dumb enough to omitted that when they compiled the period Diana Prince was powerless into a great collection set, "Diana Prince: Wonder Woman", compared to the other guest appearances she did during that time!!!ReplyDelete
Hey, I just discovered your blog here, and I'm enjoying it a lot! This issue #397 happened to be one of the very first comics I ever got, when I was very young, and it means a lot to me. It gave me a huge crush on Supergirl, and as ridiculous as many of these stories (in this and following issues) may be, they still evoke some really deep emotions in me. In retrospect I find Mike Sekowsky's work *uneven* and often disappointing in layouts especially, but I can also see how bold he was in changing the overall tone and style of Supergirl stories from what they had been. It is an interesting coincidence that this issue just happened to be my introduction to to Adventure. Thanks for this blog; you'll probably see more comments from me soon.ReplyDelete
Thanks, D! Glad you're enjoying it. Check out the companion WORLD'S FINEST blog as well. It finishes that title's original run this Saturday!ReplyDelete
I remember that ad, but having that monster poster on my wall would have scared the crap out of me (and caused a lot of sleepless nights). I had a night light back then, and I can just imagine it playing eerily over that poster (yes, I wasn't exactly superhero material).ReplyDelete

Shopping for beads at the Agomanya market
Our 2012
Ghana tour
this December includes a visit to this
Dried fish for sale
Taking a break from Bead shopping
The top of Krobo mountain
(sorry our tours do not include the hike to the top of the mountain. For an added few days in Ghana it is possible to add further explorations into the
Avatime hills
and the surrounding villages with moderate hikes through the rainforest that border the country of Togo. Call or send us an
for information about extending your trip.)
The town lies about 5 km west from Kpong on the Somanya road. Market day is Wednesday and Saturday and well worth a visit. The bead portion is in the middle down this road to the left.
The Beads
This area is considered to be the center of the Krobo bead industry.
The People
The Krobo came from a nearby mountain that we hiked up in 2008 during a big celebration for the Krobo people.
The Area
The Somanya road is a row of small towns travelling west for ten kilometers off the main Accra-Akosombo road so the area is convenient and on your way towards the Volta region. It is very possible to leave Accra and visit the market and
Cedi's bead factory
and then travel on to Lake Volta for the night. There are a number of hotels of all budget ranges near Atimpoku and towards Akosombo.
A restaurant that we like in the area is the Star Villa Hotel which coming from Accra is just before the Somanya road turn off for the Agomanya market and Cedi's Bead factory.

Welcome to The Morning Read.
'Tis the season. Oscar-hopeful films are starting to screen heavily, and at this point, almost everything's been seen by someone. In the last few days, I've seen "Nine," and I've got several films lined up this week that aren't coming out until the end of December. It seems like the last of these films that's going to screen for anyone is "Avatar," which makes sense. They're still putting all the last minute technical touches on the film, and I'm sure the first time Cameron screens it for press, he wants it to be 100% finished so that they get the full intended experience.
He is, after all, HMFIC.
If you don't know what that means, then you probably didn't see the piece that "60 Minutes" ran last night about "Avatar" and Cameron. And why would Cameron sit down with a news magazine show that pretty much no one under a certain age watches anymore? Ten minutes after the show ended, there was a message on my answering machine from my 60+ year old mother, telling me to tune in and check it out. "Avatar" was already on her radar because she reads my work, but if it wasn't, that would have done the trick.
Right now, the most important thing for 20th Century Fox is getting the word out to every single demographic, every single niche audience, and every single potential ticket buyer. They don't just want you to see "Avatar" on December 18th. They NEED for you to see "Avatar." And not just once, either. They're hoping that they will get you on the hook for repeat viewings. Over and over.
Let's start today with a look at the full "60 Minutes" segment, and then we can talk about some of what they discuss, and some issues that have arisen from conversations I've had about this segment:
Overall, it's a softball. Notice how casually they drop that $400 million figure in there? I've been hearing that as the final number on the film for about a year now, and when I used to mention it to people, they'd scoff. Well, here's a piece that had the full co-operation of Cameron presumably, and they say it like it's no big deal. I think it's safe to say that's pretty close to an official cost on the film, and a staggering one.
There's a comment that Morley Safer makes during the introduction to that piece that caused me to stop and comment on Twitter, though, when he refers to "Titanic" as the most profitable film ever made. I scoffed at the assertion and cracked wise about how impressed I was that "60 Minutes" would get a fact wrong before the story even began, and almost immediately, I got a flood of responses via Twitter and IM and e-mail telling me I'm an idiot and I have no idea what I'm talking about. After nearly 20 years working in Hollywood, I'd argue that I have at least a wee little bit of an idea what I'm talking about, but evidently some of you don't agree, so I thought it was worth exploring in print this morning. After all, just a few weeks ago, Paramount was claiming that "Paranormal Activity" is now the most profitable film of all time. Obviously "Paranormal Activity" hasn't made anything near the same amount of money "Titanic" did at the box-office, so something's wrong with one of these claims. Some film obviously holds the record, but if no one can even agree on the definition of what "profit" means when talking about movies, then how do you decide which film gets to accurately make that claim?
I've always been taught that ROI is everything. That's the number that really makes people hot. That's what makes a great producer a great producer. Your return on your investment. If you invest one dollar, do you want to get ten dollars back or one hundred dollars back? Or $900 back? Or $78 million back? That number is your return on your investment.
So the films that are "most profitable" can either be the films that made the largest gross returns, which would definitely put "Titanic" at the top of the list, or the ones that make the highest return on investment. And lists are kept that calculate things both ways. I'd call that highest-grossing, though, not most profitable. The way gigantic studio movies are financed, anyone will tell you that there are rather mercurial definitions of the word "profit." Ask how many people who are allegedly part of a profit pool on some giant hit movie if they've ever seen anything significant in "profit" paid out. The way numbers are reported on both ends of the studio process are suspect.
I think when you're talking about films that have been wildly profitable, you're typically talking about the films that offered the highest ROI percentages for the initial investments. That's what you're chasing in the end. That's the lure of film financing. Everyone would love to make "Halloween" or "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" or a "Rocky" or an "American Grafitti." Those are films that cost very little and went haywire at the box office. Those are the movies like "Once" that are impossible to predict, the "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" style hits that just pop and then play and play and play and play. Those films are profitable in overwhelming ways. That's the dream, isn't it?
Anyway… this digression has been brought to you courtesy of "Avatar," and let's bring it back around to the film with this new feature that focuses on Stephen Lang's character, Colonel Quaritch.
There's some beautiful new stuff in that one. I shouldn't be watching these anymore. The film's only like… three weeks away? Is that possible?
Have you checked out the "Ninja Assassin" contest we're having here at HitFix? YOU SHOULD.
Edgar Wright just realized that "Shaun Of The Dead" was named one of the 25 best horror films of all time by Time magazine, and he Tweeted about it. It's a fairly solid list they originally published last month, too. If you didn't read Edgar's tribute to the great Edward Woodward when he passed away last week, you should. It's evocative, and although I never had the great privilege of meeting him, I admired him greatly, and I was glad to see him eulogized well by someone who I know took such pleasure from directing him. I wasn't alone in feeling moved by what Edgar had to say, either. And Simon Pegg had some Woodward words of his own.
As a parent, I would totally have this teacher's back.
I want this. I covet it. I need it and then I need another 50 volumes of it.
RT @paulscheer: Just FYI – If you stake a hipster thinking he's a vampire the cops will not accept the defense that u have twilight fever #twilight
Vern reviewed "Anti-Christ." Why haven't you read it yet?
I like this sentiment on the part of Devin Faraci.
And speaking of awesome…
This was sort of amazing. It blows my mind that it was a secret for so long. Impressive.
This sounds like a truly off-the-rails panel conversation featuring Judd Apatow and Sarah Silverman.
I love this animated film. I love this story. I love this visual representation of it. I think the entire thing is one of the great baseball stories ever told, and I could watch this film every morning. It just pleases me:
RT @paulscheer: Didn't realize one of the services on Main Cabin Select on @VirginAmerica is that it comes with a dude who farts for 5 hours.
Finally, to bring everything full-circle, here's the craziest "Avatar" spoiler of all. If you want to, you can pre-order the soundtrack right now, and you can read a track listing for the score. This is always dangerous business. I remember people freaking out because of some of the "Star Wars" soundtracks giving away major business in track titles.
1. "You Don"t Dream in Cryo…"
2. Jake Enters His Avatar World
3. Pure Spirits of the Forest
4. The Bioluminescence of the Night
5. Becoming One of "The People"
Becoming One With Neytiri
6. Climbing Up – "Iknimaya – The Path to Heaven"
7. Jake"s First Flight
8. Scorched Earth
9. Quaritch
10. The Destruction of "Hometree"
11. Shutting Down Grace"s Lab
12. Gathering All the Na"vi Clans for Battle
13. War
14. I See You (Theme from "Avatar")
I'll have my review today for you of "The Road," and I'll also have a sneak preview of exactly what Peter Berg is up to with "Battleship," since I'm heading down to his office today to talk to him about it. And don't forget to check out this week's DVD column tomorrow morning.

The Afghan-American Chamber of Commerce is developing local chapters in selected regions around the United States, starting with Northern California. Operating under the AACC organizational structure, including Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws, the Northern California Chapter will offer its members a solid business platform to advance the goal of promoting member business connectivity and activity in Afghanistan.
The Chapter will engage the Afghan business community and American companies in Northern California to network, collaborate, and invest in business in Afghanistan. Those businesses in the region currently engaged in Afghanistan today and those considering such engagement will be solicited for membership in the Chapter.
The AACC Northern California Chapter development is being led by area businessman and Interim Chapter President, Qasim Tarin. Mr. Tarin, who has worked on this issue for nearly two years with AACC's Board, led by Director and Executive Committee member, William C. Joern, was elected to the AACC Board of Directors at the last AACC General Assembly in January of this year. Given his focus on creating an AACC West Chapter, Tarin was given the role of Interim Chapter President by the AACC Board. Mr. Joern led the Board in the creation of rules and procedures that would apply to chapter development whether in the Bay Area or elsewhere.
On October 2nd, 2011 Afghan American Chamber of Commerce Northern California Chapter was officially launched. AACC Chairman Sulaiman Lutfi, AACC President/CEO Don Ritter and Chapter Development Chair William Joern traveled from Washington DC to initiate the unveiling of the AACC Northern California Chapter.
The new AACC Northern California Chapter Interim Leadership team was put in place. They are Qasim Tarin-Interim President, Homayoun Rahnoma-Interim Vice President, Mizgon Zahir Darby-Interim Treasurer, Sultan Sayed-Interim Secretary. In three months, voting members will select full term administrative officers for the Northern California Chapter.
AACC believes strongly that the road to stability in Afghanistan is through commerce, business and the job creation that results from a growing legitimate market economy. AACC members, friends and other interested persons are encouraged to inform AACC of their interest in developing local chapter. Given what will be a continuing important role of the U.S. in Afghanistan, potentially more economic than military in the future, we expect that there will be substantial interest in joining up with AACC.

Mindfulness and Health: Kids Kicking Cancer
Today is Friday and I try to post something lighthearted and fun at the end of a busy week. With that in mind, someone sent me this great link to Kids Kicking Cancer. As someone who experienced a childhood cancer, I can identify with this awesome concept – help the kids feel victors not victims:
They have some great use of social media tools to spread their message and provide links to inspiring stories about the Kids. There is a Facebook Page and a YouTube channel, for example. After watching one of their their videos, I simply couldn't resist sharing a genuine feel-good story about what their vision is:
"Kids Kicking Cancer uses martial arts breathing, meditation and imagery techniques to ease the pain of very sick children while empowering them to heal physically, spiritually and emotionally.
Our mantra of "Power Peace Purpose" allows the children to know that they are victors not victims. In turn they teach adults, corporations and other children how to control stress, pain, fear and anger.
When they hear from the Hollywood superstars that "you boys and girls are the real heroes" it helps them to recognize that they really do have the enormous power to bring themselves to an inner healing peace."
Check out this short inspiring video and spread a little happiness…
Many of us live busy stressful lives and forget to nurture the spirit and mindfulness to decompress from the hurly burly of life. I was therefore really pleased to see that there is also a an iPhone app and Blackberry app that are worth checking out for breathing exercises to manage stress for everyone, not just kids, as well. Do check them out and share them with your family and friends!

Valuing the MCDS education
The life-long benefits of a strong work ethic, self-confidence, creative thinking, and a love of learning are difficult to quantify. While MCDS tuition remains well below the average tuition cost for U.S. independent schools, we recognize the significant commitment each family must make to join the MCDS community.
Tangible Benefits of MCDS—What does your money pay for versus public school?
• An independent, non-profit school; a self-governing body free from politics and bureaucracy.
• An 8:1 student/teacher ratio and smaller class sizes.
• World-proven curriculum and teaching methods that deliver superior results, exceeding local and national test levels.
• Accessible and dedicated faculty, providing continuous communication of individual progress.
• Important subjects often missing from other programs: Science, Spanish, Music, Art, PE – all with specialized teachers beginning in Lower School.
• Semi-private musical instrument lessons, beginning with piano in First Grade.
• A character education program, embracing values such as respect, honesty, responsibility, and community service.
• A full day of school, from 8:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., with convenient after-school activities, athletics, library, and child care options.
• A well-kept, secure facility with modern science labs, an expansive gymnasium, inspiring classrooms and a prairie-filled 45 acre campus ideal for our hands-on science program, joyful recesses and extra-curricular activities.
• A comprehensive college advising program, beginning in Ninth Grade.
• A motivated and inclusive peer group which enjoys and values learning.
Intangible Benefits of MCDS
• A mindset of limitless possibilities, where no boundaries are set on what your child can achieve.
• A community where each student is truly known and valued for their individuality.
• Work ethic, self-confidence, leadership and teamwork skills that flourish from great expectations.
Cost of educating a student at MCDS
The actual cost of educating an MCDS student is approximately $2,000 greater than the tuition charged. Like many independent schools, MCDS is committed to building a culturally and economically diverse body, and keeping tuition reasonable is critical to our success. The Annual Fund raises funds to make up the gap each year.
After the enrollment deposit, tuition may be paid in one, two, or eleven installments. The cost of books is included in tuition, and there are no mandatory fundraising requirements.
Building Use Fee
$500 per family: a standard independent school fee used solely for routine facility expenses. This fee can be offset through participation in the Scrip program.
Technology Fee
MCDS will provide students in grades five through eight with a Chromebook including pre-loaded applications and licenses. MCDS will also take on the burden of performing minor repairs, while students will take the device to and from school and keep the device after the eighth grade year. This Chromebook program necessitates a one-time $250 technology fee for families of middle school students.
Financial Aid
A generous financial aid program supports our efforts to enroll qualified students regardless of financial status. A wide range of families, including those with multiple children, may qualify for financial aid.
Prairie Hawk Merit Scholarships
Middle and High School applicants can apply for The Prairie Hawk Merit Scholarship, awarded to students demonstrating academic excellence, personal responsibility, integrity, and citizenship. Current MCDS High School students can also apply for a Merit Scholarship each year of High School.

Epson Powerlite 1735W Wireless Portable Projector Review
Epson Powerlite 1735W Portable Projector - Warranty
The 1735W has a two year parts and service warranty on the projector and a 90-day warranty on the lamp. While that, by itself, is a good, if not exceptional, warranty, Epson also includes what they call their Extra Care Road Service. If the projector fails and you can't wait for it to be repaired, regardless of where you are in the U.S. or Canada, a phone call to Epson will send a replacement projector on its way to you, via overnight delivery When the replacement unit arrives, you simply use the prepaid airway bill and packaging provided to send the defective projector back to Epson.
In addition, each 1735W comes with a PrivateLine technical support card with a special phone number and PIN for fast access to a support technician. I had the opportunity to try out this feature and was connected to a tech support person in less than 30 seconds.
Epson Powerlite 1735W Projector: Bottom Line
I was very impressed with the Epson 1735W. It does everything a good multimedia projector should, has decent brightness, excellent portability and terrific (and painless) wireless networking. Using the USB network key, connecting wirelessly to the 1735W is as easy as turning on your computer.
Colors are deep and rich, making this a great projector for photo presentations and the quality of its video reproduction is very pleasing to the eye as well.
The 1735W comes with a travel bag that holds the projector and all of its cables and accessories. That's good, because its light weight and easy setup make it a natural for those who travel a lot, making presentations at each stop. It can also be permanently mounted in a small boardroom or classroom, while maintain easy access to controls, lamp and air filter.
At an MAP (minimum advertised price) of $1649, the 1735W offers a low cost solution to the presentation road warrior, or an affordable installation projector loaded with features. Consider its Road Service replacement plan and it's an unqualified winner.
Epson Powerlite 1735W Portable Projector: Pros
- Excellent brightness for a portable projector, with almost 3000 lumens – one of the very brightest under 5 pound projectors available
- Excellent overall image with native resolution or lower resolutions, and excellent color accuracy
- Painless wireless network connectivity
- Very Portable and Lightweight – under 4 lbs., comes withs soft carry case
- Good warranty and excellent support via Road Service program
- Quick power up and can be unplugged immediately after powering down
- Ability to display full speed video (up to 30fps) over the wireless connection (with limitations)
- Ability to display presentation without a computer via a USB storage device
On board interactive help
- If mounted, both lamp and filter can be changed without unmounting the projector
- Ability to connect to a computer via USB
- Audio output capability with volume controlled by the remote
- Networking abilities including email notification for maintenance and mechanical problems, as well as presenting from other computers on the network
- Impressively full featured for such a small, lightweight portable business projector
- Very good price performance
Epson Powerlite 1735W Portable Projector: Cons
- No digital (HDMI or DVI) input (our biggest complaint) This is more the rule, than the exception in projectors in this size and weight class
- Limited zoom (1.2:1) – although this amount of zoom is typical on small portable projectors
- Remote has too many buttons the same size clustered together
- Has dust filter that must be maintained (as do other LCD projectors), however, most competing DLP projectors do not have filters to deal with
- Some limitations in terms of video display ability over wireless connection
- Full user manual provided only on disc. Better would be to provide hard copy as well, especially as the projector supports computer free presenting, so the presenter may not have a computer with them
Epson Powerlite 1735W Projector: Typical Capabilities
- Length of warranty
- Documentation – actually pretty good, but lack of hard copy manual, can be a nuisance
- Small 1 watt speaker provides adequate sound for presenting in smaller rooms (that's also typical for this sized projector, and even some larger ones)

What if I asked you to name the most famous song that has come from South Carolina?
You're stumped right?
About now you are scratching your head and thinking, "What could it be?"

The song is "We Shall Overcome."
It strikes me as near remarkable at how liberal ideas are so illogical while boasting of their logic. William St Louis seeks to respond to my article by suggesting that one is not allowed a critical opinion unless they have a viable alternative solution to the problem in his column, "Don't criticize the Iran deal without an alternate deal."
Well, Lancaster County council members Charlene McGriff and Larry Honeycutt, you got your wish – Keith Tunnell is gone.
In response to Dr. Brooks Walker's column, "Iran renews Hamas support," in the Sept. 4 edition of The Lancaster News, again I read another complaint against the deal with Iran without an alternative.
Iran was renewing its support of Hamas prior to the signing of the deal.
This renewal of relations between Iran and Hamas was a result of Hamas withdrawing support of the rebels fighting Assad in Syria.
The Bible records the life of King Manasseh in 2 Kings 21 and 2 Chronicles 33. He had an ungodly grandfather (Ahaz) and a godly father (Hezekiah). He became king of Judah at the age of 12, and reigned for 55 years, the longest term of any of the Hebrew kings.
Young people across this country have begun or are about to begin a new school year. I am reminded of a time 50 years ago when I was one of those young people. It was Aug. 26, 1965. I was 8 years old and entering the third grade at H.R. Rice Elementary School.
What I didn't know then but know now is what a pivotal moment that would be in my life.

Good morning!
RR: I woke up early to run this morning, so I won't talk myself out of it after work. I ran 3.1 miles and it felt great. It was 60 and not humid at all. Yesterday I didn't run because I had some errands to run instead.
NRR: Yesterday I ended up going to Macy's to look for a bra for my wedding dress and nice, dressy summer sandals instead of going for a run and I had no luck. My mom is coming to Philly tomorrow because my bridal shower is on Saturday, so I wanted nice shoes to go with my dress for the shower. Also, I have a wedding dress fitting on Friday, which will be nice so my mom can see the dress in person for the first time. So today it's just work, some grading, then we're going to look at two houses hopefully and then we need to clean a bit.
FR: Nothing too exciting.
OU: Crossfit sounds so challenging! How many times a week do you go?
Java: Free yoga for life sounds pretty fantastic! I like the name of their studio a lot. Too funny about Winston getting in the way of yoga. Has he settled down a bit? I remember when you first got him you were having some problems with him.
Seattle: Congrats on starting grad school soon! What are the classes that you have been taking if they weren't for grad school?
Foco: A beach trip sounds fantastic! Where are you going?
MIA: Yes, a lot of my family is coming for the wedding. My parents, brothers, grandpa, a few aunts and uncles and a few cousins are all coming. My parents and brothers have been here before, but no one else. How was dinner with your friend?
SJP: Cool and not humid is the best weather to run in. I have a feeling that we won't be seeing much of that soon.
rtr: oohhhh dress fitting! how exciting! I bet your mom is excited to see it! I go to crossfit about 3x a week.
java: the casserole is jimmy dean sausage, onions, peppers, spinach, mushrooms, tomatoes and eggs (1lb sausage to 24 eggs approx, I 1/3 the recipe). It's really good, the sausage gives it great flavor. Lasts me the entire week of breakfast as well.
mc: oohhh a beach trip!!! how exciting! I was amazed how flabby my legs got over the last month just from not running 30+ mpw! I'm the opposite I cut back on running during the summer because it is too hot!
mia: bummer about not seeing DBF as often this summer. Maybe that will be the realization he needs that he needs to see you more - that absences makes the heart grow fonder thing!
sjp: crossfit is addicting like P90X, you see the results and just want to keep doing it. The nice thing is there is less talking and watching - you are active the entire time for the most part. You guys still doing P90X?
rr: so yesterdays cardio got cut because of rain (run is outside) so we did more squats or various forms - butt is killing me! They were moving cardio to this morning so I was going to go to the 6am class, but it was pouring again this morning so I Figured that wouldn't happened. Opted to sleep in and run on my own this evening. I'll hit class on Friday morning when the timeline isn't so tight.
Got my VO2 Max tested last friday for a research study, today I have the second round of the test. I had a 37.5, which i think is pretty good all things considering!
nrr: rain and storms today. Makes me want to be in bed!!!
fr: had awesome pot roast from the crock pot last night. brought it for lunch today also. salads for dinner - I really do enjoy eating healthier, the food just taste better then eating out constantly...
Morning!rtr-summer sandals are hard to find! we are trying to find cute flat ones for my sisters wedding, they are either super casual or have to get 4" heels for dressy ones. bridal shower will be fun! ou-we haven't done x in a while. but i am going to start lifting again soon. i just skip through all the exercises when he is talking. awesome about the vo2 max, i've always wanted to do that! RR: 10 miler this morning!!!! good to be back. it was cooler so i didn't feel like i ran that long. NRR: dbf is going on a group ride, so i have a couple errands, pick up a bridesmaid dress and some other stuff. probably going to bed early, i'm smoked this week! FR: nothing too exciting here. needing coffee today.
RR: Thunderstorms again! So nothing. I do have access to a treadmill, but it is really difficult for me to even find 30 minutes to run, so adding driving time to and from the gym is pretty hard most days. Big B has karate tonight, but my dad is taking him and I am meeting them there, so if I get home in time to squeeze in a quick run and there are no storms, I'll do it!
NRR: DH took Big B to see Epic last night, so it was just me and little b. My sister's ex-H picked up my neice from our house Monday night and had mentioned piking Big B up early from MIL's yesterday and taking him and my neice to the movie - and he said it in front of Big B. Well, when you say you "might" do something in front of a 5-year-old, they think it's happening. So Big B was really good all day and MIL said he kept saying he wanted to help her so he could go to the movie. Of course ex-BIL flaked. So I'm happy DH was able to get home in time to take him. Poor guy - I hate it when people dissapoint my kids. At least he and my neice were able to meet him and DH, so hopefully Big B never knew things didn't go as planned. Me and little b had dinner with my mom, stepsister and stepdad. It was nice to spend some alone time with little b.
FR: Nothing new - it's a good thing.
rtr - Winston is doing a lot better. I have worked really hard on being a strong pack leader for him and we have spent a lot of time teaching him his place - at the bottom. He still likes to sneak food off litle b's plate, but we're working on it. I didn't realize you are in Philly! I have a good friend who is an opera singer there and I keep planning to come see her! So nice that your mom is coming for the shower and will get to go to the fitting!
ou - I'm so sick of this rain. Sorry it got in the way of your runs too. The breakfast sounds amazing!
sjp - Woo hoo for 10 miles!! You did such a great job taking care of yourself during your injury. I'm so glad you are better!!
Good morning! I lost track of time yesterday but I should be around more today hopefully.
RR - Planning on a walk along the waterfront over lunch, and possibly a short run over lunch tomorrow. My feet are holding up better this time (probably because I stopped mid-race to put blister bandaid on instead of ignoring the blisters until I was done!) and my legs seem to be recovering pretty well too. I am looking forward to getting back into a running routine and also introducing some speedwork and more trail running a few weeks from now. And more climbing and swimming, too - there is a (heated) outdoor lap pool on the beach (literally, on the beach!) 5 minutes from my house that is just about to open for the summer - so excited!
NRR - Managed to keep busy at work yesterday with lots of little things, hopefully today will be the same! I've just been feeling sort of restless this week and want it to be the weekend again already... probably pretty typical after training all winter for something (or two somethings, in my case) and having them be over with. It's supposed to be sunny and warm again today, so DBF and I are going to take the intertubes out to the lake after work for a float!
FR - Stopped on my way in to work this morning to stock up on healthy groceries - need to be really strict with myself for a few weeks to get back on track.
Hi all,RR: Did yoga/strength class yesterday and it felt great. I was just careful with the forward folds, and things seemed to go well. Today is really nice and cool, so I'm going to run 6 miles (first time at that distance in a long time) midday ... really looking forward to it! I'm still struggling with getting out to run in the morning. I love it when I do it ... why is it so hard to get out of bed to do something you know will feel great?
NRR: Starting to realize how much I have to do before the beach trip. Yikes!
RTR: Yes, dressy summer sandals are really hard. Try Zappos? At least it's less legwork. Good job on getting up and running this morning. Hope one of the houses you're going to look at is a hit! We are going to Topsail Beach in North Carolina. It's a terrific, quiet, family-oriented island about an hour north of Wilmington. There is literally nothing going on there but some houses, a couple of restaurants, and a miniature golf course. So relaxing!
OU: It's probably going to get hot here, too, and I remember last summer I canceled a July half marathon because it was just too hot. But it gets cool here at night, so if I would just get up and run in the morning, all will be well! Beach trip will be fun .. it's my second favorite vacation (behind a river trip).
SJP: Yay for 10 miles! Hope it stays cool for you. Enjoy your early-to-bed night! I really look forward to those rare times when I can make it to bed before 10.
Java: Glad the movie worked out in the end for Big B, and fun for you to spend time with little B. Really hope the thunderstorms move out. I can't imagine how tired you all must be of that.
Seattle: Speed and trail work sound like good things to focus on now. And the swimming pool sounds fabulous! What a great thing to have handy this summer. Hope work goes fast for you this week .. it is dragging for me.
Good Morning!
RR- Woke up today and feel as if I am returning from the dead. The cold virus DBF so kindly gave me knocked me out. It was accompanied by something that felt a lot like the flu, only without the puking part. Hoping I can get out for a nice easy run in an hour or so.
FR- Lots of jolly ranchers the past few days.
NRR- My work bought a "new" airplane back in December and today it comes back from its new paint job. There's quite a bit of work to get done on it before it's ready to fly customers around. So I'm headed in on my days off to help get it all done. Thankfully today I'm feeling a bit better and am feeling a bit human again.
rtr- The wedding must be really close! Have fun with your mom in town and the bridal shower!
OU- That's cool you got your VO2 tested. What do thoes numbers mean? Is there a scale? 37 liters of air?
sjp- Welcome back to the double digits!
Java- I'm impressed on how much you do run with such a busy life!
Seattle- Congrats on your marathon. You seemed to do great running a second marathon so soon. That heated pool on the beach sounds so wonderful.
MC- Where again are you going for your trip? The beach will be wonderful!
RTR: How fun that your mom is coming out for the weekend. Hope you are able to find sandals, I do have luck with zappos usually as well.
Had a good time with my friend last night, always fun to catch up.
OU: Yeah, waiting to see how the summer goes. He's talking about weekend trips to take with me, so I'm sure it will all work out.
SJP: Woohoo for 10 miles again!!
Java: Definitely can never say "might" in front of a 5 y/o. I'm glad it all worked out in the end though.
Seattle: Where is that lap pool? Sounds nice.
MC: a beach vacation in NC sounds fantastic. Are your children also going along? Did DD move back to FC yet?
Snow: sorry to hear you got sick. Glad you are feeling better. Don't do too much to soon and get sick again.
RR: Not sure yet today, I think it's a lawn mowing day again though.
NRR: I almost feel like I'm stuck in the movie ground hog day recently. Each day seems the same. Need to change something up.
FR: determined to get the fluff off especially after trying on some shorts that fit great last summer. UGH!
rtr - I always run into distractions when I schedule a run for after work... it's so much easier for me to get it done in the morning or over lunch if I can! Sounds like everything is pretty exciting with all the wedding stuff and house hunting! I haven't taken any accounting classes before this, so I took some basic financial accounting classes so I could meet the pre-reqs for the masters program! I am a little bit nervous as I had to take out a pretty sizeable loan to pay for it, but hopefully I can find some scholarships or whatnot to help out with that. I just don't even really know where to start looking for them!
ou - sounds like you are rocking it on the healthy eating this week - that breakfast casserole sounds like a great idea. I actually did something similar with breakfast burritos - sausage, eggs, cheese, and veggies in a tortilla. So nice to have healthy things that are easy to just grab and go in the morning. Rainy and stormy weather always makes me want to stay at home in bed too. not sure what my excuse is today as the weather isn't that bad and I still want to be home and in bed... I guess I'm just in lazy mode haha!
sjp - way to go on the 10 miles, so glad that you are back up to your normal mileage and not having any more issues with your foot. I have been tired this week too (pretty understandable I suppose) and yet I still randomly stayed up until almost midnight last night catching up with an old friend from college... oops!
Java - yuck on the crappy weather - hopefully they pass quickly and quit disrupting your routine! Glad DH was able to take Big B to the movie instead... I would be really really annoyed if someone flaked on my kiddo like that but at least he didn't wind up disappointed. Glad the FR is going well too!
MC - your beach vacation sounds absolutely lovely! I love low key mellow beaches like that. Good luck on your 6 miler, that's great that you are starting to get back up in mileage a bit! I am with you on the having a hard time getting up earlier... whenever I oversleep I always regret it and yet it's so difficult not to! I will spend speedy work week vibes for both yours and mine!
snowden - bummer on being sick - so glad that you are finally starting to feel better again. I somehow haven't gotten sick (knock on wood) since like February... I'm sure it will happen eventually but I am trying to hold out as long as I can! I just become such a wimp when I am sick. I am really glad I did the second marathon, it was a great experience! Now people keep asking me if I'm going to do another one this month and become a Marathon Maniac... but right now that is not really something I am very interested in. I think marathons are a one-two a year kind of deal for me at this point!
Mia - xpost! hope you are enjoying the nice weather, sounds like all the yardwork is getting you outside to do it a lot! I stopped at a nice spot on Beach Drive (West Seattle) on my way home last night, so nice. The pool is Colman Pool at Lincoln Park. I was really excited to learn about it especially since DBF and I cancelled our regular gym membership in favor of the climbing gym membership (aka I haven't had a pool in a few months)!

Why do people hunt coyotes? can you eat them?
I look at my dog and wonder how can somone hunt an animal from the k9 family?? I get a little angry and think coyote hunters are *******s domesticated or not dogs are very loyal. mans best friend they never argue never complain and are incredibly smart they can detect bombs , drugs guide blind people relive stress they are very usefull animals theyre not stupid like a hog or useless like a deer all they are good for is eating but it gets me angry when I hear a coyote squeling exactly like a dog in the forest after its been shot as of now I think coyote hunters are *******s why do they do it? Maybe I wouldnt feel so angry if I knew why people hunt them and I was more educated on the subject. are they used for meat? Are they worth money? Or are coyote hunters just plain a holes? Lol please tell me why and please dont be rude :)
Coyotes can be very dangerous to children and livestock. They can carry diseases and become overpopulated like any other animal. They can be eaten. They make great hats.
I shoot the bastages because they killed all of my chickens. They are not native to my area. (I think they came from Texas) They disrupt the natural life cycle of other native animals. Maybe when Texas secedes they will go back home and I can save my ammo.
While coyotes may share a genus with domesticated dogs, they are still very different animals.
Coyotes are livestock killers. They kill sheep, chickens, small pets, and packs will kill young cattle during calving season. They also are nuisance to hunters., as they kill many game species as well. Yes, I know about the "Disney" circle of life, but these animals out compete a lot of others. They will reduce deer populations for generations if the coyote populations get out of control. In places where hunting coyotes has been restricted. populations soar, and game populations suffer, then the packs get a bit more aggressive and target livestock and pets more. Also once their populations get too large, they tend to spread disease among themselves, and other animals. Mange, fleas, bubonic plague, rabies, and other diseases can be spread to pets that try defending homes.
If you love your dog, you might learn to dislike coyotes.
They are indeed smart. They learn to recognize traps, calls, and other methods for hunting. They will kill off Foxes, bobcats and other predators that compete for food. Coyotes used to be a problem in the western US, while foxes and wolves were problems further east. Now their range as pretty much the whole continental US. The fact that they are smart, at least gives hunters a challenge, and improves a hunter or trappers skill, so they do serve a training purpose througouth teh rest of the year when game animals are not in season. By thinning the coyote population, hunters also improve the population of game animals. Turkeys, Geese, Deer, Dall Sheep, Antelope, all are prey animals that the coyotes can endager.
Edit to add: And I have dogs, and love them too. I hate coyotes though.
Cats I only like stir fried or roasted on a stick.
I shoot them every chance I get. They have taken my neighbors flock of chickens, killed cats and dogs in our area and can threaten the goat herds around here. They have not bothered my horses or cows. When I take my Golden Retriever out at night I always take my .45 in case she is attacked. I find tracks all of the time in the lane leading back to our place but they are hard to catch in the open. Not native to Florida and are about to create serious problems I understand in the urban areas. You must not have any problems with them on your place. Check with the local ranchers and farmers, I am sure they have problems.
Because when I get enough skins I going to send it to get taned and made into a blanket - I rather have a wolf blanket but I settle for coyotes for now.
@hdq. so are coyote hunters still ****. *****?????
Well to be fair humans are in places the have not always been in. But we take it on are selves to automatically think we have the right to the land. When wild animals lived in most places before we did. but I would admit if I lived on a farm with live stock I would prolly shoot them also to defend what's mine. And as Long as they use the animal and don't let it go to waste I don't see to much of a problem with it.
Because they are an invasive predator that destroys wildlife native to an area (areas where coyotes are NOT native) and will totally destroy a bird population. They are aggressive, will destroy your livestock. If you live in the suburbs of Denver they will cruise housing developments at night seeking pets (they don't seem to have a familial bond with dogs, and eat them).
When living in Colorado, was one of the few animals I would not pass up a shot on. If they show up here in my part of VA, I have night vision gear.
The "feel good" folks in Colorado did an end run around the game commission, and amended the state constitution to outlaw trapping of wildlife. A year later, they were screaming because that rangy old 'yote had snatched Fluffy out of the back yard. There were demands that the game commission "DO something".
Head of the Game Commission (bless his heart, he was getting ready to retire) went on TV, and said "We would love to DO something. But you good folks outlawed the only effective way of dealing with these predators. You're on your own."
Real life bears no resemblance to Wile E. and the Roadrunner.
coyotes are overpopulated badly in my area and there are quite a lot of people who hunt them, and yes they can be worth a little money for their fur. If there is snow at deer season we can easily see the woods loaded with coyote tracks and no deer tracks in areas where before there were tons of deer, now only yotes, no rabbits either. When we do find deer sign, it is common to follow a track for a short distance then find a coyote track get on the deer tracks and follow them. Coyotes are hunted with hound dogs or by one or 2 hunters working together with a call such as rabbit in distress or a electronic caller which will draw in the animal for a shot. I have heard coyotes in the woods all I have to do is stick my head out the window most any night of the week at my home, however I am curious to know how you hear coyotes squealing like dogs after they have been shot, do you have a lot of hunters in your back yard? Coyotes yip and squeal naturally as that is the sound they make, it doesn't mean they have been shot. Coyote hunting is very challenging and yes they are smart, one of the harder animals to trap, no need to feel sorry for coyotes, they breed like rabbits around here, shoot 1 and 3 more show up. The biggest and most important reason I hunt them, BECAUSE I CAN!

Experts at the Department of Health and Human Services are currently working on the breakdown data of these enrollees. While the exact number of business owners who registered on the federal government website remains unknown, it is logical to infer that small-business owners, company founders, entrepreneurs, self-employed professionals and independent consultants account for far more than half those sign-ups.
That's because small businesses currently make up about 99.7% of all U.S. employers and create more than 75% of net new jobs, according to the Small Business Administration. Small- and medium-sized enterprises also contribute nearly two-thirds to U.S. national output, or non-farm GDP.
Up until the ACA rollout, many small businesses were able to garner only half the health care benefits their employees should have had, for nearly twice the amount invested in their insurance plans. Not anymore.
The ACA offers subsidies to the tune of as much as 50% of the costs incurred to extend medical insurance to individuals who work in smaller-scale enterprises that have fewer than 25 full-time employees earning a salary below $50,000 a year on average. These subsidies, or tax credits, are adjusted for inflation beginning in 2014.
The Small Business Healthcare Tax Credit, originally introduced in 2010, was reinstated by the Internal Revenue Service in March 2014 with an announcement to raise the federal tax credit from 35% to 50% of the amount that private sector businesses contribute to employee health coverage through a SHOP Marketplace. The maximum credit for premiums paid by non-profit organizations is being increased to 35 percent from 25 percent.
The ACA will help businesses optimize their costs and enhance their resource efficiency in the long run. "In about 10 or 20 years, businesses would probably look back and say, 'that was long overdue,'" said Joseph Chinnock, 45, an entrepreneur consultant based in Boulder, Colo.
Meanwhile, Obamacare has come under fire for its imposition of fines on organizations that don't provide employee health insurance when they have 50 full-time workers or more. Whats more, many businesses, especially retailers and fast-food chains, are reducing the work-hours of their part-time employees to avoid paying for their healthcare.

General News of Wednesday, 27 February 2013
Source: XYZ
Lawyer for the three Ghanaians who have sued the minority for boycotting some activities in parliament has dismissed claims that the suit lacks foundation and logic.
The three individuals, including cattle herder Somailla Bilebiel filed their suit against the entire 123 minority MPs on Tuesday.
But the minority leader has described the suit as laughable and baseless.
Speaking to XYZ News, Abraham Amaliba said the minority will have to prove to the court if the suit lacks basis as they claim.
He also dismissed suggestions that MPs cannot be sued.
"Their attitude does not portray that they are doing the work of Parliament and so based on this the plaintiffs are of the view that it is unconstitutional," Amaliba said.

On-the-go filing for the multitasking upward-bound woman. As a writer/student/person with multiple interests this pretty portable tote is enough for me to hold my papers, project lists and bills...all it needs is a little pocket for business cards and it would COMPLETELY rock.
szlea's recommendation
would probably have to look for an excuse to take this somewhere, but it is cute. Lug papers back and forth to meetings without losing sight of your fashion sense with the Audrey Expanding Five-File Tote. A graceful alternative to a briefcase. $48

This is totally cute for carrying around your important files or going to class!

Man! I wish I would have found this when I was planning our wedding. It's so much prettier than the HUGE Binder I was carrying. I really love this bag. I'd just carry it day to day. It would be great to keep me organized when I start my cafe. It's just so pretty and yes, very Audrey.

Carry around all that paperwork in style. A nice and large folder that doubles as a cute tote.

Not sure if the world has been clamoring for a fourth Killjoy movie, but I must say Killjoy Goes to Hell looks quite intriguing. It's based around the idea of a demonic movie slasher being put on trial in the devil's courtroom for repeatedly failing to kill his last victim.
The demon clown Killjoy is on trial in Hell! Having failed in his last outing to claim his victim's soul, he must face the devil himself in Hell's courtroom and prove that he's evil and worthy of a demon. His only hope is the testimony of his last victim and a trial by combat. Killjoy's murderous minions Batty Boop, Punchy, and Freakshow plot a daring rescue attempt, but they have nosy detectives, renegade clowns, and a whole mess of demons in their way. If they fail, Killjoy is damned to oblivion, never to return!
Trent Haaga returns as the demonic clown in Full Moon's upcoming Killjoy Goes to Hell, the direct follow-up to last year's Killjoy's Revenge, also written and directed by John Lechago. Victoria DeMare, Al Burke, and Jessica Whitney co-star.
Check out the trailer below.
And if you're attending Stan Lee's Comikaze Expo in Los Angeles (September 15-16 ), you can attend the world premiere of Puppet Master: Axis Rising. Charles Band will be in attendance to personally introduce the 10th installment of the Puppet Master series.

Winter Break on the Valor: Carnival Valor Cruise Review by cpmom
Overall Member Rating
Winter Break on the Valor
Destination: Western Caribbean
Embarkation: Miami
Arrived at the Port of Miami around noon, there were long lines but they moved fast. No problems going through security and onto the Valor. Our bags were in our stateroom before 3PM.
About us:
I was traveling with my husband and a group of friends. I have been on three cruises prior to this one, on Royal Caribbean's Enchantment of the Seas, Disney's Wonder and the Coral Princess. All my experiences have been good.
The Ship:
I found the Valor to be darker than other ships I had been on. The dEcor is muted in dark red and brown with gold and orange accents. It was not as over the top as I had expected and the theme of hero and heroines was subtle. There was a problem getting around on decks 3 and 4 since the corridors did not run straight through those decks. This was only a problem getting to the Washington Dining Room in the back of the ship. I must admit that even after seven days onboard I could not get More the directions straight or figure out what elevator I needed to be on.
The Food/Service:
There was no bad meal while on board the Valor. Food was plentiful and available at all times. We were never hungry. We did find the dining room service to be slow on some occasions. Once or twice the food was not as hot as I would have liked. Ordering drinks in the dining room was more difficult than it should have been. Our waiter would disappear for some period each night and we had to wait for him to reappear, but he was very nice although not very friendly. There was an impersonal feel about the dining room that I could not understand. On our other cruises, after a day or two the waiters seemed to remember our names and what we liked. My kids still talk about our waiter, Ian, on the Enchantment, how great he was. We did not get this same feel on the Valor.
The Stateroom:
We had a balcony room on the Upper Deck, deck 6. Our room was always clean, with plenty of towels and ice. Our steward was very friendly and always greeted me by name. The room and bath were a good size, but I thought the storage was less convenient than on other ships I had been on. The fluffy white bathrobes provided were a nice touch.
The Itinerary:
We went on the Western Caribbean route stopping in Grand Cayman, Roatan, Belize and then Cozumel. I had been to Grand Cayman and Cozumel before, but Roatan and Belize were new to me. We snorkeled in Grand Cayman and Cozumel; went to Altun Ha in Belize and spent the day at a resort in Roatan. Belize was the most interesting port; we had fun while learning about the ruins and then enjoyed the shopping near the pier.
We loved the singer in the lobby bar. She was great and we made a point of listening to her whenever we could. Piano bar was always smoky. The Karaoke was really intense, and the woman running it was way over the top serious about it. It was not fun. The floor shows are not my cup of tea, but other people with me liked them a lot. There was always something to do, if you wanted to stay busy.
Carnival is a good cruise experience; it did not seem to me to be "low-class" in any way. I had read things like the "Wal-Mart" of the seas and was a tad concerned prior to the cruise. Looking back and comparing my prior experiences cruising, I think that you get what you pay for. Carnival was a lot cheaper to book for the week we picked than a similar cruise on other lines. Disney's ship was a lot prettier, Royal Caribbean had better service and Princess was more organized, but we had a great week on the Valor. They did what they promised on the first day "to exceed my expectations". Less

|Drug: Zinc sulphate (20 mg)
|Phase 3
|Study Type:
|Study Design:
|Allocation: Randomized
Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment
Masking: Double
Primary Purpose: Treatment
|Official Title:
|Efficacy of Zinc in the Treatment of Outpatient Pneumonia in an Urban Slum Among Children Less Than 2 Years Old
- Duration of illness
- Treatment failure
- Incidence of subsequent illness episodes (pneumonia and any other)
|Estimated Enrollment:
|Study Start Date:
|November 2004
|Study Completion Date:
|May 2008
|Primary Completion Date:
|May 2006 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
This study is a follow up to an earlier study among hospitalised children less than two years old with severe pneumonia who were administered zinc as an adjuvant along with standard antimicrobial agents. That study found a 20% reduction in illness duration and hospitalisation, as well as a 3 - 9 fold reduction in treatment failure for children given zinc along with standard antimicrobial management. However, since most pneumonia is managed in an outpatient setting, it is important to know if it works in this setting as well. We hypothesise that zinc may act as an acute phase reactant in the early stages of outpatient non-severe pneumonia to reduce both the duration of illness and the likelihood of treatment failure.
To test this, we will randomise children less than two years old to receive either zinc or placebo can as an adjuvant to standard oral antimicrobial agents in the acute treatment of non-severe pneumonia in an outpatient urban setting. Oral antibiotics will be given for a standard five-day course, while zinc (20 mg) or placebo will be administered once-daily for 10 days. Patients will be followed up on a daily basis at home to monitor their progress and document compliance.
Outcomes will be a comparison between zinc and placebo groups on duration of illness, as measured by specific signs of pneumonia, and treatment failure, as measured by change of antibiotics or hospitalisation for failure to improve or worsening condition.

Kokrajhar, June 24: The All Bodo Students Union (Absu) will organise a series of programmes for the development of education in the Bodo belt, including a teachers enclave and free coaching for competitive examinations under its Mission Quality Education initiative.
We are taking up a series of programmes for the benefit of the student community and youths in the Bodo belt, Absu president Pramod Boro said.
As part of the programme, the union will organise a teachers enclave in July in each sub-division of the Bodoland Territorial Areas District (BTAD) to discuss quality education. Absu will also conduct a yearly free coaching programme for civil services and other competitive exams from August for aspirants in the area.
We will conduct a test for the selection of candidates on July 13, Romeo P. Narzary, general secretary of the union, said.
Registration forms will be available at all exam centres and Absu district offices till July 1. The last date for submission of forms is July 1 and admits cards will be issued from July 7 to 11.
Absu will also conduct a talent search exam for the students of elementary and secondary level and a career survey among students of Classes VIII to XII to provide information and career counselling.
The union has decided to institute a best teacher award in honour of noted litterateur, scholar and Bhasha Sanman awardee Madhuram Boro from this year.
The Chirang district committee of the Absu has expressed resentment over non-fulfilment of its demands pertaining to Bodo-medium education.
In a press release, district president Phanin Boro said, We have been demanding since long to solve the educational problems in Assam but the state government has not shown any interest to solve them. The results of the HSLC exam in Chirang district, with a 29 per cent pass rate, are the result of the failure of the government to implement our demands.
He demanded that all venture schools and colleges be provincialised immediately, all TET-qualified candidates be recruited, appointments to vacant posts in provincialised institutions be sanctioned and the Assam Venture Educational Institutions (Provincialisation of Services) Bill, 2011, be amended immediately in the next Assembly session to resolve all educational problems.
He warned the union would take up another agitation programme unless the government fulfilled its demands.

Calcutta: The battle for supremacy in Indian football has often come down to the battle between Calcutta and Goa. That is set to be the case once again in the 30th Federation Cup final on Sunday and Churchill Brothers will lock horns with Dempo Sports Club on Thursday to decide Goas flag-holder in the final.
Thanks to the schedule of the tournament, both Churchill and Dempo had ample rest before the semi-finals. Both teams are in good shape and raring to go.
Churchill coach Zoran Djordjevic, proud of his teams performance in the group stage, said on Wednesday, the eve of the match, that they deserve to win.
The way weve played so far. We deserve to win, he told reporters, also informing there are no injury worries for him.
Dempo coach Armando Colaco, on the other hand, said this match is about Junior, the forward who died during a Federation Cup match.
When its a Fed Cup match, we remember Junior. Ive told my boys to enjoy themselves and play their hearts out. Im not putting them under any kind of pressure, Colaco said.
Colaco has been saying right through the season that his priority is the AFC Cup and not the domestic tournaments. But after getting into the semi-finals, he would definitely be looking at the title.

The war affected Calder's work in a number of ways. To preserve sheet metal, which was needed for the war effort, Calder decided to return to wood carving. In the Constellations, taut wires link the wooden forms and infuse the work with tension. Calder was wary of symbolic interpretations of his art, and he was known for avoiding discussions regarding theory or concept. Still, he recounts feeling uneasy when he finally saw the series installed at the Pierre Matisse Gallery, New York, in 1943. "In the constellations nothing moved, and it was a very weird sensation I experienced, looking at a show of mine where nothing moved."

TAIPEI, Taiwan (AP) — Taiwanese President Ma Ying-jeou has delighted Beijing and Washington with his efforts to pivot from confrontation to peacemaking with the authoritarian government in China, a rival in an unresolved Chinese civil war.
The question is: Will that be enough for the voters of Taiwan?
Ma faces an unexpectedly tough bid for re-election Saturday. His main challenger, Tsai Ing-wen, has run a smart and effective campaign, exploiting complaints by middle- and working-class Taiwanese that the economic benefits of Ma's China embrace have largely passed them by.
Opinion surveys published a week ago — the last permitted under Taiwanese law — showed Ma clinging to a narrow 3-4 point lead, despite Tsai's never having won an election for public office in Taiwan.

CAMBRIDGE – Are emerging-market central banks overweight in dollars and underweight in gold? Given a slowing global economy, in which emerging markets are probably very grateful for any reserves they retain, this might seem an ill-timed question. But there is a good case to be made that a shift in emerging markets toward accumulating gold would help the international financial system function more smoothly and benefit everyone.
Just to be clear, I am not siding with those – usually American far-right crackpots – who favor a return to the gold standard, in which countries fix the value of their currencies in terms of gold. After all, the gold standard's last reign ended disastrously in the 1930s, and there is no reason to believe that a return to it would turn out any differently.
No, I am just proposing that emerging markets shift a significant share of the trillions of dollars in foreign-currency reserves that they now hold (China alone has official reserves of $3.3 trillion) into gold. Even shifting, say, up to 10% of their reserves into gold would not bring them anywhere near the many rich countries that hold 60-70% of their (admittedly smaller) official reserves in gold.
For some time, the rich countries have argued that it is in everyone's collective interest to demonetize gold. Sure, we hold a lot of gold, these countries say, but that is a vestige of the pre-World War II gold standard, when central banks needed a stockpile.

On the weekend, I was doing laundry and puttering around the kitchen. I actually hang laundry to dry in my kitchen on cloudy days, on one of these things:
Little did I realize, there was mischief afoot.
As I picked up those pants off the chair, planning to hang them in my closet with the rest of my stuff Before I left the kitchen, I looked down at the pants in my hand and there was GEORGE. Inches from my flesh.
"George, get OFFFF!" I opened the patio door and shook the pants, but he clung on for dear life.
"GET OFF MY PANTS! What was our deal? You're lucky I don't make you a spider pancake this instant!" And with that, I slapped at the pants, and George went flying into the abyss of the lawn to fend for himself in the wilds against the birds and frogs.
"Stupid spiders. That's the last time I allow one to call the kitchen home, " I muttered as I shut the door and for some odd reason, looked at the corner where George used to reside.
Oh my GOD, there's MORE.
