Many fans who discovered Marvel Comics in the '90s found themselves drawn to the adventures of a web-slinging, wall crawling hero who believed, "With great power must come great responsibility." If you think they were reading about Peter Parker -- you'd be wrong. In the mid-'90s Peter Parker's clone Ben Reilly was the star of Spider-Man's titles.
In Reilly's first appearance in 1975's "Amazing Spider-Man" #149 his creator, the Jackal, tricked him into fighting Spider-Man. It looked like Reilly perished in the battle, but in 1994 he returned to Spider-Man's world and created a new heroic identity for himself, the Scarlet Spider. Ben's return kicked off the sprawling and controversial "Clone Saga" story line which saw Reilly abandon his Scarlet Spider identity and take over the Spider-Man mantle for Peter Parker. Reilly kept the Spider-Man identity until his murder by Norman Osborn in 1996's "Spider-Man" #75.
Reilly may be dead, but this January the heroic legacy he created lives again with the launch of an all-new ongoing "Scarlet Spider" series by writer Chris Yost and artist Ryan Stegman. CBR News spoke with Yost about the project which was announced yesterday by Marvel at their "Amazing Spider-Man" panel at New York Comic Con.
CBR News: Chris, many Marvel fans know you from your work with co-writer Craig Kyle on X-books such as "X-Force" and "New X-Men." Lately you've been delving into Spider-Man's world with event tie-ins including the "Fear Itself: Spider-Man" miniseries and the "Spider-Island: Avengers" one-shot. Did "Scarlet Spider" come about because of those projects?
Chris Yost: "Fear Itself: Spider-Man" was not the disaster editor Steve Wacker thought it might be with me on board. [Laughs] He asked me about doing a book featuring the Scarlet Spider. I was reading Spider-Man back in the '90s and I was a huge fan of the character, the concept, and the entire mythology of the "Clone Saga," so I was in.
You weren't the only fan of the Scarlet Spider. The character has been dead for 15 years now, but he still has a devoted fan base. Why do you think that is? What is it about the Scarlet Spider that makes him such an enduring character?
That's an excellent question because the first Scarlet Spider was a clone of Spider-Man. He's the same guy, but different experiences take that Spider-Man world view of, "With great power comes great responsibility" and puts a new spin on it. Obviously people love Spider-Man and love that message of power and responsibility, but it's interesting to look at it through another lens. It's almost like a "What If?" story in the actual Marvel Universe. The Scarlet Spider was Spider-Man after being put through the worst case scenario. For several years he lived his life on the road hunted and haunted because he was a clone of Peter Parker. His life had been torn apart and the question was: can he still be a hero? To me, as a reader in the '90s, that was an exciting thing.
So the Scarlet Spider combined the Spider-Man origin story with the emotional intensity of something like the "Born Again" story line in "Daredevil?"
Right, and the themes of this story are similar. Situations are going to be a little different. Without revealing too much, it's even more of an extreme case because a lot of things have happened since those '90s stories. Our main questions, though, are still going to be: can you be a hero when the whole world is against you? When everything tells you to go one way is it possible to make a stand and go the right way?
We know you can't reveal much because of spoilers, but obviously readers are very curious about who this new Scarlet Spider is. Is this a character that will be recognizable in terms of powers and personality or are you dealing with a completely new character that has taken the Scarlet Spider moniker?
We're dealing with a character named Scarlet Spider and there are things that will be very familiar about him or her and there will be things that will be very different. Without naming names there's not much I can say, but there's a lot to get excited about with this character. The book has a great mix of historical and new elements.
We understand that readers will get their first glimpse of this new Scarlet Spider at the end of the "Spider-Island" story line currently running though "Amazing Spider-Man" and several tie-in issues?"
Yes. Dan Slott tees it all up in "Spider-Island," which has been amazing. It's one of the most fun events that I've ever been a part of. Then the "Point One" book coming out in November features an eight-page teaser story. It's a self-contained story with the Scarlet Spider in it that I wrote and Ryan Stegman drew, and it kind of sets the tone. Then come January we hit the ground running.
That's an interesting metaphor because we hear "Scarlet Spider" will be a "Fugitive"-style book and when the series begins the title character is on the run from someone or something. Is that correct?
Yes, after "Spider-Island" this character is going to be on the run. New York City is generally the last place you want to be if you're on the run because that's where everybody is. So the Scarlet Spider thinks, "I'm going to get the hell out of here!" It's extremely logical and that's the way we're trying to play this.
Steve Wacker is a big fan of showing the consequences of this reality. If you were a fugitive in the town where the Avengers lived you would leave town! Heck, you'd try to get out of the country. So our protagonist decides, "I'm going to go to Mexico." That puts them on the path. The "Point One" adventure takes place on the road between New York and Texas and then we pick up in Houston for issue #1. We've seen New York a billion times and we've seen L.A. a couple [times], but shockingly there are other cities in the United States of the Marvel Universe. [Laughs]
What can you tell us about the events that occur when the Scarlet Spider reaches Houston? In terms of plot and themes what is your first story arc about?
Our title character is a guy or a girl who really has a lot on their shoulders. All of their instincts are screaming, "Run!" You take the name Scarlet Spider, though, and with it comes a lot of baggage. There are just some things you can't walk away, run, or hide from. Sometimes the history will just catch up with you.
I've got an artist like Ryan Stegman so I'm just going to go as insane as I can. He's so amazing. I think people are going to be blown away by what they see. You're seeing a little bit of it now in "Fear Itself: Hulk Vs. Dracula" and you saw what he could do with Spider-Man's world in "Amazing Spider-Man" #665. Now throw in insane super powers, super villains, and action. We want to take Spider-Man and turn it up to 11!
Nothing much is really known about Houston's super powered community. What can you tell us about it? Who are some of the villains the Scarlet Spider will run afoul of? What makes them good foils for this character?
I don't want to reveal too much here, but the threats are really going to push this character. Every villain has been chosen to put our protagonist up against the wall. The Scarlet Spider has issues and every villain the character faces is going to test those issues. I remember pitching some villains to Steve Wacker and he said, "Really, you're going to bring back them?" I said, "Let me sell you on it." So I put together some stuff and I think he was convinced or he just wanted to see me fail. [Laughs]
Because this series takes place in Houston it's more of a regional thing and you're not going to see a lot big name villains. A few of them are going to be based out in the Southwest. Believe it or not, there are a few heroes that operate in that region as well. You'll be seeing them along with a couple of local villains. It's going to be exciting stuff.
What about the book's non-costumed cast? Who are some of the supporting players that the Scarlet Spider will encounter in Houston?
We'll have a full supporting cast composed mostly of new characters. The Scarlet Spider is in a new city so we'll see if he or she can make friends. Given that a fugitive scenario is involved how does that work though? Plus, historically the city of Houston is famous for how nice its people are. So that's going to be a fun element to play with too.
Sounds like you have grand plans for this series. How long do you see yourself sticking with "Scarlet Spider?" If fans respond to the book would you like to have a nice long run on it?
I'm a huge fan of when creators start and stay with a book. I like runs like John Byrne on "Fantastic Four," Walt Simonson on "Thor," Frank Miller on "Daredevil" and Bendis on "Ultimate Spider-Man." Plus, I love this character, this story, and working with Ryan. So I love everything about this situation. Steve Wacker and [editor] Tom Brennan have been amazing to work with and I'm in for the long haul. If the fans support it I will be there.
Given that there are a lot of secrets in play "Scarlet Spider" is a hard book to talk about, but trust me, even if it's just for the art alone, please check out this book. Ryan Stegman is the real deal and all of your lives will be made better by his work.
"Scarlet Spider" by Chris Yost and Ryan Stegman swings into comic shops in January.

A combination of bright red lippy + your partner + a load of mistletoe is always gonna end up messy. Add stepping into a room full of relatives, including your 92-year-old Grandma Edith, and you're just asking for an awkward turtle. Luckily for you, the DARE team tested the best kiss-proof lippies on the market so you can meet them under the mistletoe again and again and again….
Editor Tory
This is absolutely the perfect lippy for the festive season – a truer red I never did see. Plus, forget about kiss-proof, this is tipple-and-mince-pie-proof, too – I know, I tested it. You might want to get yourself a liner to define your shape before you pop it on, but it's worth the prep time because once this puppy's in place, it's not going anywhere. Mwah!
Junior Beauty Writer Mollie
I've always been a massive fan of coloured lip glosses, which, as you can imagine, tend to end up everywhere but my lips (and that's when there's no mistletoe involved). So while I wanted the glossy effect, I needed something that wasn't going to keep me from kissing to my heart's content. This Revlon Colorstay Overtime Lipcolor in Stay Currant comes with a top coat that ensures it doesn't budge, while keeping its sheen. As I write, it's still perfectly in place on my pout – eight hours after application. INTO IT.
Contributor Natalie
I don't usually mix up my makeup just because it's December, so you'll never catch me anywhere near a pot of glitter. But one thing I can always get down with? A statement-making matte lip. While my go-to is a pillar-box red (which I'll wear with a flick – I'm basic, OK), I thought I'd road-test a shade I'd never normally wear: berry. While I think it's a bit much for the office, and I'm not sure I'd wear it on a date, it'd be perfect for a party, with nothing but a lick of mascara. And if I do happen to get lucky under the mistletoe, I know it'll stay put. It made it through lunch and four rounds of tea! Get in.
Beauty Assistant Chloe
If I want my lippy to last all night, I'll always choose a liquid lipstick, and the Sleek Matte Me range is my go-to. They're easy to apply and they don't budge… I've been wearing it for hours, and the rim of my coffee cup is as clean as a whistle! This is just what we need with all those Christmas parties on the way. Whether you're locking lips under the mistletoe or around a mug of mulled wine, the last thing you want is a patchy pout. Stay flawless, hun.

Neve console tubes
The question that I have is probably only answerable by Dave Grohl, but if anybody else out there happens to know the answer, please feel free to chime in.
The Sound City video had great value to me personally. I especially liked the interview with Rupert Neve where he discussed the details of how to make a sweet sounding transformer. The 2 keys to the Neve sound IMO are the pre amp vacuum tubes and the output step down transformers. My guess is that that console came from the factory with British made Mullard 12AX7 tubes installed, that were manufactured in the mid 1960s. And the Mullards are some of the best sounding vacuum tubes ever made.
At one point in the video, there is a picture of a vacuum tube. Its an ARS (Antique Radio Supply) EL84. The EL84 is a power amplifier tube, not a pre amp tube, and ARS is known for supplying low quality tubes, and they wouldnt have been used in the original circuit by Rupert Neve in any case, so my guess is that that would have been a picture of some random guitar amplifier.
Because that Neve console is truly a piece of musical history, with some of the greatest pieces of musical work ever created, having been shaped and recorded thru it, I think that it is very important to baseline the characteristics of that legendary console so that that information is not lost.
Dave - or anybody else who happens to be intimately knowledgeable about the characteristics of the console does that console have the original tubes in it, and if so, what tubes are they?
It may be that nobody has ever asked that question before, and while it may be asking a lot, it would be very helpful if it still has all or some of the original tubes in it, to take them out, one by one, and photograph them. There are people who could look at those photos and specify for example, well, thats a Mullard 12AX7 I63 manufactured at the Blackburn factory in the early 1960s. Or its a JAN Raytheon 12AX7 ECC83 smooth black plate, etc., etc..
Since there are people who have indicated that they have used numerous Neve consoles, and that there is something special about that particular console, my guess is that its in the specific set of tubes, or there is something special about the specific batch of transformers that were used.
I dont want to sound overly dramatic, but IMO that console is in the category of Bach or Beethoven, except that their works, are fully documented so that future generations can exactly reproduce them. There is something special about that Neve console, and it needs to be defined and documented, so that it can be reproduced by future generations if they so decide.
Re: Neve console tubes
I think the transformers are the key in a Neve. That´s what´s the most talked about thing about them anyway - tubes are important of course but as long as they´re good quality and hiss free / no microphonics the differences aren´t so drastic as in different transformers.
But, I think / hope whoever runs 606 has such budget that NOS tubes can be bought into DG´s console, they´re still out there and they´re not that expensive really if you´re one of the biggest rock stars on the planet..

Do you like coffee or energy drink? Many people are asking about this question rapidly. Many of these questions are usually coming from the man or woman who needs the addition energy for their daily activities. This is why customers are generally confused between the usage of energy drink and coffee. Both have pretty similar usage, but even so, there are still significant differences between these two. Coffee is actually more caffeinated and usually consumed by the majority of people. Originally, coffee is intended for people who have trouble to do things without getting sleepy. And this means that coffee is not supposed to strengthen your physique or your body performance. On the other hand, Energy drinks are the opposite as it works as the stimulants for its users and works perfectly to sharpen your performance and condition. So if you want to know more about the mystery between these two, let's see the comparison below.
"Coffee should be treated differently than the original energy drink," that's the first opinion from the both the coffee and the energy drink customers. It is just not fit if both drinks are grouped in one categorized. This is all because of the standard that both offers, coffee can be produced innovatively, whereas the energy drinks usually committed to the standard that has been made by the scientist. Energy drinks often use very little long-term safety research for its production, while coffee has been studied through the centuries. The factor of caffeine content inside both is also why both have been compared recently. Energy drink is usually using more combination than coffee, whereas energy drink use combination like caffeine, amino acids vitamins, and many herbs.
Both Energy Drink and Coffee have been known for its ability to keep you in shape and maintain your condition. In term of performance, we can't decide which one is better as Energy Drink usually using the different approach with many functions, whereas coffee is more about how you keep yourself to go through the night. In the health factor, both Energy Drink and Coffee have a side effect. Coffee can cause you a lot of problems like insomnia or the long-term disease which is caused by its caffeine. But unlike what you think, Energy Drink can cause more problem than Coffee; it can cause many terrible things like nausea, headache and other diseases.
|Coffee Drinks
|Energy Drinks
|- Rich, bold Starbucks espresso with just the right amount of cream
|- New flavors!! Now in Grape, Fruit Punch, and Orange Soda
|- Brewed espresso coffee
|- 11 gram tubes, 30 count
|- Convenient 6.5 oz. can to enjoy at home, at work, or on the go. 12-count case
|- Contains Antioxidants: Vitamin C 833%, Vitamin E 33%, Alpha Lipoic Acid, Grape Seed Extract, Green Tea Extract
Energy Drink and Coffee can be used in many different ways, but it seems that coffee is a little bit better in term of flexibility as you can make your own coffee with your own taste and your health won't endanger terribly. So if you want to get better performance, it is better to use coffee for safe usage.

This article titled "How these £6,855 boots could be yours for £34.99″ was written by Ellie Violet Bramley, for theguardian.com on Thursday 24th August 2017 05.01 UTC
Once upon a time (well, in February), a pair of knee-high boots, salted with 3,000 tiny individual rhinestones, walked down the Saint Laurent catwalk in Paris. The industry instantly swooned, as if under the spell of head designer Anthony Vaccarello. But a month later they were spotted on the feet of pop's most fearless and fashion-savvy princess, Rihanna. Then came a shoot of Cara Delevingne in this September's Elle, the feet of 2017's beacon of fashion-forward hope Celine Dion, and, just like that, their status as the boot of the moment was cemented.
And, because we can't all wear the Saint Laurent boots "phresh out" the catwalk like Riri, the high street has produced an array of homages. From black sequinned mid-calf boots at Next, to knee-high, non-slouchy, very shiny versions at Topshop and a relatively understated offering from Russell and Bromley, they have virtually become a meme. The most wearable pair is the Topshop chunky-heeled version.
It's a tale as old as time – every season has its cult item(s). Last autumn it was the Balenciaga padded jacket, worn shrobed, as was the season's way, on the catwalk in Paris. Variations on the theme soon found their way from the catwalk and on to high streets up and down the country, with Urban Outfitters' green iteration proving so popular and ubiquitous that it got its own Instagram: "thatpuffa", papped the jacket in chicken shops, on dates and at the library.
But the boots have an edge over the padded jacket – shiny, bright as diamonds, they are solid Insta-bait, no filter necessary. At one with the season's broader trend for all that glitters – chainmail and sequins have been widely deployed at Gucci, Emilia Wickstead and Versace – they look like something Liberace might have worn. Or disco balls hammered out and moulded into boot form. It's no wonder they have – despite their £6,855 ($10,000) price tag – sold out on Net-a-Porter and reportedly racked up gargantuan wait-lists at Saks Fifth Avenue and Bergdorf Goodman. Or that they are on the pages of many of the September issues.
If you are feeling brave, style them like Rihanna, who owned the inevitable wrinkle of jeans stuffed into boots by making that an intentional styling device and teamed them with an oversized T-shirt, leather biker jacket and discus-sized gold hoop earrings. If you are feeling less brave, go the Celine way with an otherwise all-black outfit. Either way, be ready for plenty of attention.

Logan Florez - Quilt 80
Open larger quilt photo in new window
Logan Florez
Diagnosed September 8, 1999
Logan Florez was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes on September 8, 1999 when he was just 14 months old. His diagnosis shocked and devastated us. Thankfully, after almost three years of living with diabetes, things are normal again -- or at least a different kind of normal. I don't with this to be normal for anyone, and I desparately hope for a cure, but until then I can say that Logan is such a big trooper, and an amazing, bright, and comical four-year-old. He is an awesome big brother to our nine-month-old daughter, and is setting the best example for her on how to live happily and energetically in the face of adversity. We are very proud of him!
Logan's quilt was made by Carlie Abbott, Logan's grandmother

Yes, top two primaries are a great innovation
I was pleasantly surprised to see NY Senator Chuck Schumer's support for top-two primaries in a recent New York Times op-ed. I agree with his logic; the evidence so far from California, which has adopted this system, is encouraging.
A top two (or "open" or "nonpartisan") primary pits all candidates against one another in a primary election, regardless of party. The top two finishers face each other in the general election. This could be a Republican and a Democrat, or two Democrats, or a Republican and an Independent. (You get the idea.) The important point is that candidates are urged to reach a broad swath of voters in the primary rather than pandering to the most extreme members of either party, as is customary in a traditional primary.
As Schumer explains in the piece, "Primaries poison the health of that system and warp its natural balance, because the vast majority of Americans don't typically vote in primaries. Instead, it is the 'third of the third' most to the right or most to the left who come out to vote — the 10 percent at each of the two extremes of the political spectrum. Making things worse, in most states, laws prohibit independents — who are not registered with either party and who make up a growing proportion of the electorate — from voting in primaries at all."
Instead, top two primaries force candidates to compete for voters in the middle. California has adopted this mechanism, and the evidence so far suggests it has had a moderating effect not just on the kinds of candidates who win, but also on the behavior of politicians once in office.
We worship innovation every else in life. Why not in politics? The top-two primary is not just fancy political theory; it is an idea that has already been implemented in some states and ought to be tried in many others. If the primaries play a role in polarizing politics, then let's fix the primaries.

I wonder…
… why isn't more time spent training coaches on discipline techniques? Granted, as parents, we pretty much learn as we go. Read all the books you want about parenting, but it still comes down to the relationship a parent has with a child. As coaches though, we're dealing with virtual strangers. We see these kids a bunch of hours each week and except they'll fall into line with whatever we do or say.
While the national coaching program provides solid advice on communication skills and ethical decision making, there's nothing at all on any form of discipline. In fact, few associations provide much guidance, either overtly or in rules and regs, on how to deal with typical problems. This means coaches have to fend for themselves. Shouldn't we provide coaches with guidance on this?
… how coaches are able to rationalize full ice practices for under 10s, yet would consider full field soccer, with 11 aside, ridiculous. Little kids just don't need all that space.
… why passing skills and tactics are taught so little.
… why everyone isn't completely on board with the Hockey Canada checking clinic progressions. This wasn't thrown together by a bunch of board-level poobahs. It was a carefully thought out and designed program by technical experts whose foundation came 30 years ago and has evolved into something that can be started with novices. Not body checking, just checking skills. Skating balance, stick checking, angling and such. It's just not taught enough nor early enough.
… what would happen if parents from opposing teams were asked to sit with each other during games and, you know, have civil chit-chats.
… why opposing coaches, especially at the more elite levels in minor, often treat each other like they're each diseased and barely acknowledge the other's existence in the rink.
… how come coaches, at the beginning of games, gather their little charges at the bench for another minute-long game prep session when they were supposed to have done it in the room? Yak-yak-yak… never mind… let's play.
… how come arena coffee is universally awful.
… why more coaches don't invest in large, thick dry erase markers, tape them to their sticks, and draw dots or Xs on the ice rather than use those infernal pylons.
… if USA Hockey's youngsters will indeed be better skilled in a few years because of its small ice games approach.
… if it even matters that they're better skilled so long as the children enjoy the game more because it's more suited to their developmental needs.
… if you're looking forward to 2017 and how the game grows as much as I am.

SSA everyone!
I'm a linguistics student currently doing my thesis on the Punjabi language in Singapore. as part of my research, I've developed an online questionnaire on language use within this community. I'm hoping to get a really comprehensive view of the language situation, hence the decision to post on this forum. I would love to hear from any Singaporean Sikhs here on this topic (and the Singapore Punjabi community in general). If you are
- above the age of 21
- a Singaporean or Permanent Resident
- Punjabi / have at least one Punjabi parent
your input would be greatly appreciated. The survey will take 20 - 30 minutes to complete (or less) and can be accessed here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIp ... sp=sf_link

Eating Gluten-Free at the Airport
By the time you read this, I will be in Italy.
My family and I are lucky enough to be spending 12 days in Tuscany, teaching cooking classes and simply being. We'll be shopping in the market in Lucca, sipping cappuccinos (not the kiddo), getting lost on little roads in the hills, and sharing food with good people. As you can imagine, we're pretty excited.
Before we get there, however, we have to go through the airports.
The next time you're at an airport, try to imagine being a celiac. Walk through the airport trying to find something to eat. Sandwiches, bagels, pizza, breaded and fried foods--nearly every food available is wrapped in wheat. Salads mostly have croutons in them. Some commercial yogurts state on their websites that they cannot certify their yogurts are gluten-free. Banana anyone?
Some airports are better than others. San Francisco has one terminal with plenty of healthy, fresh foods and gluten-free options. Atlanta has One Flew South, a great little restaurant with all local, seasonal foods. My family and I ate a wonderful meal there on a layover because they had a gluten-free protocol. SeaTac has Anthony's, which has a gluten-free menu. (I wrote a piece about this on our site and folks left other suggestions in the comments. If you've had a good gluten-free dining experience in an airport, let us know here, too.)

As any vegan who has been out for dinner with friends will know, veggie burgers can often be a bit of a let-down. Our chefs are here to put that right.
This brilliantly inventive, gluten free bunless burger is packed with flavour and what's more, it couldn't be easier to make.
The tofu and chickpea patty will develop a lovely crispy coating as it bakes, while the tangy sweet chilli sauce and papaya combo creates a tempting topping that's much more exciting than the cold slice of tomato you'd usually get.
As you can see, it's also a very colourful, appealing dish that would be welcome at any dinner table. This really is a dirty burger with a difference!
Ingredients (serves 2)
- 400g tofu
- 150g chickpeas
- 80g papaya
- 60g sweet chilli sauce
- 1 avocado
- ½ a red onion
- 20g spinach
- 3g sesame seeds
- 12g coriander
- ½ tsp chilli powder
- Pinch of salt
How to make
- Preheat the oven to 180C.
- Grate the tofu and mix with chopped coriander.
- Dice the onion and sauté with the chilli powder for two minutes on a medium heat.
- Add this to the tofu mixture.
- Take half the tofu mixture, grate the papaya and mix together with the sweet chilli sauce. Leave to one side.
- Pulse the chickpeas in a food processor and mix well with the other half of the tofu mix.
- Mould the chickpea and tofu mixture into two patties, place on a baking tray and bake for 15 minutes.
- Halve the avocado and discard the stone.
- Sprinkle both halves with sesame seeds and save for the burger lid.
- Arrange the spinach on a plate and top with the patties.
- Top this with the tofu and papaya mix, followed by the avocado halves.
What is tofu?
Tofu is made from curdled soy milk, and is thought to have been discovered by accident in China around 2000 years ago. This mistake is now a staple of East Asian cuisine. Once the milk is curdled, it's cooled and pressed to remove the liquid, creating the blocks you can buy at your local supermarket.
This recipe serves tofu in two ways. The crunchy tofu burger is topped with a soft, sweet mixture of grated tofu, papaya and chilli sauce. Tofu is great at absorbing flavour, so the spice will really come through in this dish.
Why is it good for you?
Tofu is popular because it's one of the few plant-based complete proteins, so nutritionally speaking it's a worthy substitute for meat. A complete protein is a food that provides all the essential amino acids your body needs, which is important for many key functions in your body, such as muscle building, wound healing and fat loss.
What is papaya?
Papaya (sometimes known as paw-paw) is a tropical fruit grown in Central America. Its smooth texture and sweet taste means it's often compared to melon, mango or peach.
Why is it good for you?
If you were paying attention to our post on the pros and cons of going vegan, you'll know that yellow fruit such as papaya is rich in beta carotene, which the body converts into Vitamin A. This has anti-inflammatory properties that help to keep your immune system strong. It's also an important nutrient to maintain good vision and healthy skin.
Like many fruits, papaya is also high in Vitamin C. This has many health benefits, including boosting the immune system, helping to heal wounds and maintaining healthy skin, joints, bones and blood vessels.
It's easy to see why we're encouraged to eat plenty of fruit!

I still need to do more research to make sure all of the information in this book is correct but it is a great book for women to read. My whole life I have been told the men have always ruled and have always been considered as being greater then women. I have also always heard that biologically women desire to have children and to nest. These views have never set well with me, but the insights of this book raise questions about what and why we believe the things we do and how that effects us all in our development.
This book changed some of my opinions, and started a flame that I have not been able to put out. I have always doubted the exact truths that have been told to us through generations, but now through science and archaeological discoveries the truth is finally coming out, and because of this book I have begun an extensive research on various religions as a whole. I would like to thank the auth. for all her time and perspiration that was put into her book.
This was an excellent book pointing out connections between different religions. Exposing attributes of patriarhcal Western religions this book gives the reader a new perspective on history. Much is speculative, but I must say that I haven't found much solid research elsewhere that has been done on much of the topic covered. It is good to read this with a critical eye for speculation, but this book changed how I viewed religion, society and the world at large.
For about two weeks after reading this book I would just have to stop and shake my head, realizing how our 'secular' society is still shaped by the religious myths from thousands of years ago. Anyone who reads it with an open mind will never view religion in the same way. The chapter on the story of Adam and Eve is my favorite! This would be a great book for a discussion group.
I really loved reading this book, it was empowering, insightful and very revealing. I am grateful that Merlin did what she did.
Could not put it down and when I did could not stop thinking about it. Makes you take a good hard look at everything you ever beleived to be true. A bit technical, but gave you the option of researching the material yourself.
I'm a feminist and I don't need to read a book like this to know how I feel about some or most men. I don't hate men because I am married to one and I do empathize with women, like myself, who do not believe in patriarchy as a ruling entity in our society. Women have suffered throughout the centuries largely due to patriarchal attitudes, mainstream religion being largely responsible.
This is my favorite book ever! It is extremely eye-opening and has truly influenced my life and my awareness as a woman. I recommend it to any woman as it is an extremely empowering book. And to any man who wants to know how different society could be were it not for certain organized religions and their patriarchal attitudes.
This book will change the way you look at history and, perhaps, the way you perceive organized religions. Readers will learn about the bloody battles of biblical times and the effect on the standing of women both then and now. This book will appeal to students of history, religion, and feminism alike. It is easy to read and very thought-provoking. The author allows you to draw your own conclusions and does not write with a heavy hand.
An overly feminist book to say the least, at the beginning and cropping up from time to time, but besides that I did enjoy it to a degree. There are many things which I definitely don't agree with her on and I can say I marked the book up pretty good while reading it. She tries to present goddess worshipping peoples as the pinnacle of achievement and present the Indo-European "invaders" as warmongers and the bringers of patriarchal society. She doesn't show you that these goddess worshippers were just as bloody and savage as the rest of the peoples yet any perusal of history books out there will verify it. She cries quite a bit about woman loosing their status and how the "evil patriarchs" crushed them down. Her thoughts on the origins of the tree from the Garden of Eden where interesting and I think possibly worthy of looking into as well as some of her thoughts on Indo-European religion and how it influenced Judaism and Christianity are very interesting and are worth thinking over, particularly the Levites and their possible origin. I will definitely re-read this book at a later date after going through some history books of the time to see how well it holds up.
I really enjoy Stone's approach to Goddess worship. The one problem I have with the book is that it provides a lot of information in a short amount of space, and I have a hard time keeping it all straight, especially as I am unfamiliar with many of the places she is describing. Her book, however, is wonderful, and it provides a different look at what people worshiped before the Judeo-Christian God took over.
This book is a must read if you are a woman, love a woman, know a woman, or live on the same planet as a woman. This book, which was researched for 10 years, brings insight and understanding to what has happened to women and how women came to be the property of men and how we still live under the vestiges of horrific oppression.
I read this when it first came out and it spurred me into 46 years of researching the various religions, archeology, and very ancient history. I'm nearly finished rereading it for the second time, still finding that she has been more correct than not. It's an interesting, informative read for anyone, but it must be read from the first page to the last before a reader forms an opinion. One does not have to be a feminist, only curious and with an open mind. Understanding the past helps us make a better future.
I liked the part about the biography of "Eve," but I don't think there matriarchy before patriarchy. The Myth of Matriarchy Prehistory by Cynthia Eller is both of feminist and archaeological dispute of the idea.
I bought this book on April 15th. I didn't expect it until May 15th to 28th. Got it today, April 24!! Way before than expected! The book is in perfect condition, looks like absolutely new!!! Going to read it right now! Thanks a lot! Bárbara. Lima- Perú.
It started out a little slow, but quickly became interesting after the first section. An especially good read for anyone struggling with the gender inequities in most of the major religions (particularly the "Big Three" - Christianity, Judaism, and Islam.)
I read this book years ago and it continues to influence my ponderings of life. It ranks second only to Joseph Campbell's Power of Myth on my list of required reading.
Merlin Stone's work is unreferenced and illogically derivative. Her assertions fail to cite knowledge from her bibliography, (also incomplete) e.g., she fails to recognize the iconology and mythos regarding serpents, the Sumerian origins of The Fall. The latter is remarkable since this work was originally focused on the Adam and Eve myth and titled THE PARADISE PAPERS.
this was an interesting book. y would god be a girl; men rule. they should rule the world. Lol. it was very interesting.
Yeah. When i read this book. I found amusing that a feminist can hate the male species so much they'd try to prove a female's superority...

How to Clean Your Face Naturally with Oil
Clear, glowing, dewy-looking skin, free of blackheads, pimples, cysts, and other imperfections seems to be an elusive goal.

Amy Adams will portray singer Janis Joplin in the film biopic Get it While You Can , for director Fernando Meirelles.
Adams is no stranger to biopic territory - she was in Julie & Julia , a biopic of writer Julie Powell - or to a bit of a sing-song, as she proved in Enchanted , though this project might prove a bit more of a stretch in both departments.
Meirelles ( City of God ) wants filming to commence towards the end of the year, though he's yet to complete filming of a project for the BBC, 360 , which he is signed on to direct.
Other factors may halt the plans for this ever-anticipated biopic. Producers Temple Hill Entertainment still have no studio partner, though Fox Searchlight are said to be interested.
Over the last decade two projects have been unsuccessful in bringing Joplin to the big screen.
Lakeshore Entertainment's project, Piece of My Heart , which was to star Renée Zellweger never reached fruition.
Peter Newman had Lili Taylor and rock star Pink attached to his project, The Gospel According to Janis . The bulk of the rights needed, including Joplin's most well known songs were also in the bag, but his project still fell through.
Newman remains determined and is currently working alongside Rolling Stone magazine's found editor David Dalton, who was present in the months leading up to Joplin's death.
If 360 falls through, Meirelles will surge ahead with the biopic, but If filming is pushed into 2011, then perhaps Newman can get beat him to the punch.
Should Merielles toss 360 aside and get a little piece of Janis action? Let us know.

Our Easter Trail is now open at the Lyndon Centre! We have created a discovery trail that leads you through the nature reserve, with birds and their eggs as the subjects. It's a slightly different Easter egg trail, as you won't be finding actual eggs, you'll be looking for pictures of birds and their nests, and counting the number of eggs in each nest.
Return to the centre with your completed sheet and make your own osprey badge to take home! (Choice of four pictures)
The trail only costs £1 to do! Come and join in the fun at the Lyndon Nature Reserve this Easter!

These exceptionally high quality weighted blankets were first on the market to offer clients a unique experience of completely custom designed blankets. And that tradition will continue. I don't carry stock fabrics and I have never purchased fabric in a bulk format. Each blanket is individually designed and the required materials are purchased for that blanket alone - right down to colour matching the thread. That is what makes your blanket so special. I work on yours and only yours until it is completed. A truly custom experience.
Many of the blankets I make are for people who just find they need something to calm the senses due to physical ailments or emotional/sensory overload. And it works! The feedback has been remarkable. My clients are so happy with their blankets and they are getting the sleep they need ....... that IS the most important thing.

USDA Nutritional Proposal Does Away with Fried Foods
American daycare centers may not be frying foods in the future. The US Department of Agriculture is proposing dietary guidelines that would prohibit child care providers from frying foods and from serving pre-packaged fried food such as fish sticks or chicken nuggets more than once a week.
Tim Devaney, writing for The Hill, says that day care children must be provided water upon request and would be restricted in the amount of apple juice and orange juice they were allowed to be served.
"Daycare homes must make drinking water available to children, as nutritionally appropriate, throughout the day, including at meal times," the USDA wrote.
At those day cares that receive government-funded meal programs, the new mandates will promote the "health and wellness of children", said the USDA's Food and Nutrition Service last week.
"While facilities would not be permitted under this proposed rule to prepare foods on site by frying them," the USDA wrote in the Federal Register, "store-bought, catered, or pre-fried foods can still contribute large amounts of calories and saturated fat to a meal. Therefore, facilities are encouraged to limit all fried and pre-fried foods to no more than once per week."
Another proposed change is to include tofu as a meat alternative. The public has 90 days to register their comments.
The Obama administration is pushing the potential new rules so that daycare food can become healthier. The proposal includes a requirement for daycares to serve a greater variety of fruits and vegetables, more whole grains, and less sugar and fat.
These types of regulations have already been imposed on K-12 schools that serve students breakfast and lunch, says Tennile Tracy of The Wall Street Journal. The current changes are targeted at meals that are subsidized by the government's Child and Adult Care Food Program, serving 3.3 million children and 120,000 adults who require living assistance. At this time, in the US, one in five children under 5 is overweight or obese.
Some of the other provisions in the proposal include: serving only one juice serving per day; breakfast cereals with no more than 6 grams of sugar; two servings of whole grains each day; and more vegetables than are currently being served.
Priscilla Luong, reporting for WDJT-TV Milwaukee, says some parents disagree with parts of the new recommendations. They think that as long as the juice is 100% fruit, children should be able to have it when they want it. Day care workers interviewed by Luong think that the kids will have a hard time with some of the changes. The owner of 1st Class Childcare in Milwaukee, which is enrolled in the Social Development Commission's Food Program, which meets the USDA's criteria, says there will probably be a large amount of food going in the garbage, since children can be picky eaters.
The Department of Agriculture proposal document may be found online with instructions for those who would like to comment on the revisions. Some other changes recommended in the guidelines are: dividing the currently combined fruits and vegetables component into a separate fruit component and a vegetable component; excluding grain-based desserts as a grain component; and serving only fat-free flavored milk.

Well, I got up early, and decided that I should change the look of the blog-ya know- new year, new look- and I had heard that the new blogger is easier to use. Okay, I am basically an idiot when it comes to all things techno-but I DID manage to change some things around. I am not sure how to get everything over to the new look, but I am working on it.
On to other news-Robyn, over at Red Bird Knits (http://www.redbirdknits.com/) is having a terrific sale. Fleece Artist, sock yarn, lace weight, Colinette, all kinds of lovely and beautiful stuff-go on. I'll wait. Go and look. And yes, I made a small order. And hmm-what else? Oh yes- Big Blue is definitely going to be a vest. I have tried all kinds of sleeves on it-hate them all-so vest it is. And Annie and Bear were out frolicking in the snow yesterday- I will try to get pics up today. Man, they had fun!

Right now I am working like mad on a scarf for a co worker. Actually, the co worker has commissioned the thing, and wants it for the first day back in January. Soooooooo- I am working on it, although I would really really rather work on my own knitting. It will be nice- grey cashmere, ruffle, small cable rib on the body-I will try to take pictures when I finish, maybe even write up the pattern for it.
I had ordered a vest kit quite some time ago, as a Christmas present to me- and it came on the Thursday before Christmas. It is the Celtic Vest from Fleece Artist. I ordered it from Rochelle, at Grand River Yarns (here- http://www.grandriveryarns.com/index.htm ). She is great to order from- you should see the 20 dollar scarf kits from Fleece Artist- way cool. Anyhow, I ordered the kit in "Origin" colourway- very similar to the swatch- more burgundy/brown in it-but very nice. I also ordered the pin to go with it- it is a pewter circle with a wooden stick through it. Good prices, and very easy to deal with.

I would like to start on it as soon as I finish up the purple Manos and take the sleeves off Big Blue. Yep. You heard it first. Big Blue is now going to be a vest- I just couldn't settle on sleeves-it seemed every sleeve I put on it looked odd. I am also going to change the buttons- I have some Mission Falls buttons that I like, so I will be changing the Fimo buttons that are on it now to some burnt bone ones.
We went to the in laws yesterday- wait until you see the quilt my mother in law made! Holy Cow!!!!! I will try to get a picture of it in the next few days-just wait until you see it. Apparently, it will go into a quilt show in the early fall (I hope to God I don't get anything on it before then!)

First things first.....
I trust everyone had a lovely Christmas- we certainly did-more later. But first of all-a big thank you to my oh so wonderful Secret Pal!
She is soo soooooooooo soooooooo good to me- she is currently newly pregnant, and still manages to get things to me (hey- don't you remember those lovely morning sickness days?) And here is what I got just before Christmas (sorry the thank you is late- technical problems)-But look at the beautiful gift! The lovely variegated looks to be a hand dyed worsted weight-lovely burgundies and roses with ivories and taupes (LOVE it)- 5 skeins to boot!. And two skeins of Peruvian Highland Wool- rich rust and olive- I have been wanting to try this stuff- wow- is it soft! And chunky Misti Alpaca-in a soft rust- oh my- buttery soft (maybe a hat?) And that lovely skein of Regia Silk Color? It did come in a ball-but the Bear thought, well, it WAS a ball, and got excited, and then thought it was fun to pull it all apart (bad dog). So now it is a rewound skein . And Bear has had a rather stern "talking to" about this bad habit. He said he was truly sorry (you should have seen how he can change his expression to look oh so sad). And what else- oh yes- two packets of Chai Tea Latte mix (yum!) Thank you, Secret Pal- you have chosen wonderful, beautiful, and very appropriate gifts for me- I love them all!
And my little one- sang her heart out in her solo at the Winter Concert (yeah, I am pretty proud of her) She said she was nervous, but she was just great!
And Bear/Forest? He has discovered the fun of Christmas presents- here he is just about to open his new Grunt (a furry hedgehog).
And here are the two of them, after everything was opened.
Merry Christmas, everyone!

Poodle Is as Poodle Does.......
We have decided that we need to rename our sweet poodle. He has had quite a history with names. His first name, from his first owner, was TUG. Hmm I said- how's that? Apparently, this owner was hearing impaired,and she had hoped that this guy would be a helper for him, and, as the story goes, that little puppy tugged at her heart strings, so Tug he became. But alas, she got very very sick, was unable to care for him any longer (or for herself, apparently) and Tug had to move on (at the ripe old age of 10 months). The next owner wished for Tug to become her helper (she was disabled) and so his name needed to be changed- because Tug is a command that is used doors need to be opened, or cupboards or whatever. So he became Bear-actually Care Bear-and learned to answer to that one, sort of. I guess he stayed in a kennel for 2 months. And then we got him (at the age of 13 months). He was a bit wild, not quite house trained, but truly loving and beautiful. At the time, Sean and I both felt Care Bear wasn't quite the right name for him, but felt unsure about changing his name on him again. So we shortened it to Bear (actually, we call him Bear Bear when we want to get his attention). But now that we know the beastie better, and he has become much more comfortable with us (that took quite awhile)-we have discovered that he has the personality of Forest Gump. Yup, my big white poodlehead is a Gumpster. And when he runs- legs akimbo, truly determined, as fast as the wind-he reminds me of that scene when Forest loses his leg braces. And he shares many of the other characteristics. He is guileless. And sweet. And gentle.
I have been working on my Christmas knitting, and a wee bit on my own personal knitting (I just couldn't help myself!!!!) And painting the stage set for the Winter Concert, or Holiday Celebration, or whatever they are calling the Christmas concert these days. And also managing the building of about 27 gingerbread houses (my class project). Yeah, should have rethought that maybe.

Sometimes, I go to work (I am a teacher) and I think-oh man-why oh why am I doing this to myself? But there are more days when I say to myself-gee-this is a great way to make money. But I like to believe that when a parent entrusts their child to me for 6 1/2 hours everyday for about what? 190 days of the year, that the child is safe. So my heart goes out to that school in Prescott (I think I got the town right)-an 8 year old boy was killed when some tables fell on him. At school. My daughter is 8 and I know what 8 year olds can get into. But what the hell happened here? Little boys are not supposed to go to school and then not come home. This time of the year, there are a whole lotta things going on at schools, and kids are perhaps a bit rangier than usual. But what happened? We may never know, of course, but oh my. That poor family. That poor school. So tragic.

How many projects can you have at one time????
Oh man- dis-satisfaction has hit again- I have Christmas presents to finish (not many this time- finish a second mitten, half of a short scarf, and one fingerless glove). But OOOOOHHHH I want to knit my purple sweater. And this green one that I started, but made a mistake in-I sent it to its room for awhile to let it rethink the error of its ways. And work is CRAZY. The Christmas concert (or the "Winter Holiday Celebration") is next week, and they want a backdrop-want me to paint it, and I still have to work full time!!!! So- I suggested that I need time away from my class to paint. Oh yeah- no problem. But when I suggest times, there seems to BE a problem. Oh- I just want to knit........to be fed peeled grapes by a (ahem) (add correct fantasy figure here).....and maybe some of those President's Choice chocolate truffles.......la la la la....I'm losing it, yes I ammmmmmmmmmm..........
Later- Yes, I switched to some new fangled version of Blogger- and got the post 4 times. Instead of the one time it showed. Seems the gremlins are at work.

A Public Thank you
I have been knitting for quite a long time. And I really love it. And I am proud of my ability to knit all kinds of things (some successfully, and some, well, we won't talk about those). I have also been tweaking and designing for myself (and others, but mostly me). And when Knitty (http://knitty.com/ISSUEwinter06/index.html ) first came up, it really got me curious about whether or not I could design well enough to make other people want to knit what I saw. And Amy Singer and her team thought, yes, I did. I have 2 designs in knitty.com. And then one in "Big Girl Knits". And now, there is another one coming out in "No Sheep For You" (in the early spring, I believe). And, because I knit a little baby bikini in Knitty (in leopard print, no less), Vickie Howell emailed me and asked for a design, and next thing I know-she published one of my ideas in "New Knits on the Block"! But I never would have had the guts to do any of this if Amy Singer had not started up her knitting magazine. And got me going in this direction.
So-here it is-
Thank You, Amy Singer !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How many more sleeps until little reindeer hoof prints????
This is what my backyard looked like early this morning. What is it about snowfall that makes me want to hunker down and knit like crazy? I have the back and one front done on the purple sweater. I have modified the front-it called for 6 ruffles (actually more like double inverted pleats with a little bobble at the top of the pleat) (very nice and tailored looking). But 6 pleats across my hips. Oh good Lord no. We don't want to be scaring the little children, doncha know. So I cut it down to one pleat on either side of the front, and instead of a boxy sweater (no shaping) I put in an a-line shaping from the bobble up. I think it will look very smart. And I just want to get into my jammies, with a pot of decaf coffee, and knit like a fiend with a good movie, or Stargate reruns, or something good on the tube. And not go to work. (Grade 6/7 kids are fun, but new snow and Christmas make them a little unpredictable).
PS- Bear wasn't too sure he was going to like this new white stuff (he was just a little puppy last year, and I don't think he remembers too much about snow). So he finally went out, and had a little poke or two, and then a giant crazy poodle head romp!

My SP9 Contest
We were asked to write about our favourite recipe. Tough one- I have a lot of favourites-I really do. I love to cook. And I came from a long line of cooks, as well-both my mother and my grandmother-excellent cooks. In fact, when I was in university, I heard about a rather tony restaurant requiring a pastry chef for the summer. Well, honestly- I had been baking since I was about 8 or 9, so I knew my way around a stove-so I applied. And, when that part came to say why I was the best candidate for the job, I was prepared. I had cooked some of my favourite desserts! Black chocolate cheesecake (with a solid dark chocolate crust, and a surprise white chocolate ganache layer) and lemon blueberry cipote(it's a French Canadian thing-sort of a deep dish pie)- rich, syrupy blueberries (wild ones, mind- not those farmed ones) with lots of lemon peel and a dash of sugar in a regular bottom crust-but with a sour cream puff pastry topping-with crystals of sugar over the top and cream puffs-tiny little ones with spun sugar wrapped round and round them, filled with pastry cream (made with fresh cream and half a vanilla bean). Well, I got the job. I still cook, but it took me years to make cheesecake again (that was one of my "jobs" in that kitchen). And it took me quite some time to want to cook anything fancy. But my all time favourite? Hmmm-it's something I have never made myself. Every New Year's, my mother makes this jello mold thing-in a loaf pan-red and pears in one layer, green and pineapple in the other, and the middle layer is pineapple juice and dream whip. I LOVE it- but only for New Year's Day. She didn't make it last New Year's, and I really felt something was missing. I have never eaten it any other day-it is just the tradition of it. Like my birthday cake is always graham cracker crumb cake with raspberry jam filling and sea foam icing. I have had the same cake, every year, since I was about 8. So I guess my favourites have to do with my mom. She's pretty cool for a 77 year old. (yeah, she'll shoot me when she finds out I told her age! She has been 39 for a really long time). BUt that is the reason why those recipes are special.
