Category : Bannister Family House a Haven of Hope
Imagine having a family member in critical care or long term care at the hospital and not having the funds to stay in a hotel meaning your nights and days are spent in a chair. Causing the patient anxiety and stress to see their loved ones in discomfort and making the healing process harder on the patient. Situated close to UC San Diego Medical Center in Hillcrest, the Bannister House provides a haven of comfort and hope for families who share this experience and concern. In a home like environment this non medical atmosphere serves as a retreat of home and stress, If the walls could talk they would share stories of thousands of guests who have laughed, cried, prayed and rejoiced during their stay.
The home was provided in 1994 by the late Ralph Bannister who's generous donation enables UC San Diego Health to construct the Bannister Family House in member of his wife and daughter. Although the Family House is affiliated with UC San Diego Health, it is not funded by the revenue generated from clinical services. The house relies on donations and private support of individuals, corporation and foundations to operate on a daily basis. The house is open 365 days a year and families are asked for a nominal fee per night to help defray costs for upkeep and operation. Aside from Ronald McDonald home there is nothing available like Bannister for patients support system.

About a week or so ago, me and Nik went to Gorizia, Italy. I´ve always had an obsession with Italy so shooting in Gorizia felt as natural as it can get. Much like with Ptuj, the narrow, paved streets and those big, baroque style buildings get me every time. Italians are some of the kindest people I have ever met and their fashion sense is out of this world. Me and Nik walked the streets, took some shots of my outfit *which is so on point, I know* and had a good laugh. After a while our energy started to run low so we searched for a place to get our coffee fix, not knowing we would stay there for a lot more than coffee. It was Easter Monday when we went out shooting and if there is one thing you should know about Italians its the fact they take religion seriously, so you can bet your sweet bippy finding an open bar near by was almost impossible. Btw, did I mention it started to rain? So, there we were, searching for a bar, not trying to pee our pants and avoid rain as much as possible when we ran into Class Caffe. We sat down and I went to have a look at the inside and oh-my-GOD was I impressed. The bar offers a really modern feel, while it still looks like a great location to get some drinks at with the girls. The ambient was really peaceful I just had to share it with you. What Nik loved most was how the lights in the bar were placed which gave me somewhat of a halo effect and really accentuated my features. Now, I don˙t know about you guys, but the next time I´m grabbing coffee with that cute guy I know where I´m going! Whether you´re on your lunch break, business meeting or just want to grab a couple of drinks with the girls while in Italy, I suggest checking out Class Caffè. Their coffee is delicious, the atmosphere awesome and they have the coolest staff ever. If you are ever in Gorizia, we should definitely hang out! Whenever I come to my hometown I like to visit Gorizia, since I live like 5 minutes away and I truly do feel more at home in Italy than I do in Nova Gorica. Now, enough blabbering I have to hop into the shower, so I don´t miss my lectures (again). I just want to thank Class Caffè Gorizia for allowing me and Nik to take some pictures and being very patient with us while we hopped around the bar flashing whenever we found something beautiful (which was basically at all times).

How did sushi become a global cuisine?
That's the question filmmaker Mark Hall is tackling in this new feature-length documentary Sushi: The Global Catch, which premiers next week at the Seattle International Film Festival.
From the looks of the trailer, this is going to be an awesome film. Asides from the sadly familiar scenes of frozen bluefins lined up at the Tsukiji fish market in Tokyo, we get to see inside Australian tuna ranches, find out how the sushi craze has spread to some surprising places outside Japan, and hear from top tuna scientists including Barbara Block.
The most chilling quote in the trailer goes like this: 'One thing I'm sure of, we will run out of tuna sooner than we run out of oil'
I hope this movie goes on to have as much impact – or more even – as The End of the Line.
Check it out on Facebook.

AceShowbiz - %cKanye West% seems to try to live up with his gift for %cKim Kardashian%, considering that she previously splurged more than half a million dollars on a rare Lamborghini Aventador LP 700-4 for his 35th birthday. According to The Sun, the G.O.O.D. Music rapper plans to spend $1 million to toast her.
A source claims, "Kanye has never been shy of splashing out on the women he loves, but this time he's pulling out all the stops with presents." The "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" beauty is going to turn 32 on October 21.
"Kim has been really down about turning 32 and having two failed marriages behind her and no children, so he wants to make this extra-special," the source says. "Plus it's her first birthday since they've been together as a couple."
He allegedly will take her to Pine Cay, a private island in the Turks and Caicos group, and hire a five-star hotel chef to cook for them during their stay there. He reportedly also plans to buy her a custom Prada bag with "KK" print, a pink diamond bracelet and a couture Chanel dress.

The Gospel Frees Us from Self-Pity
In his recent blog series on "The Pastor and Personal Criticism," C.J. Mahaney unpacks many of the hidden blessings and subtle temptations that come as a result of criticism. While God uses correction to grow us in grace, the exposure of indwelling sin can be difficult to discern and destroy, except that we apply the gospel to the root of our struggles. It would do little good to attack the fruit when the poison remains buried within the root. As we'll see shortly, the gospel contains the cure for our sinful condition because Christ stood in our place–He suffered the criticism (and punishment) that we rightly deserve and lavished on us the edification and exaltation (the many blessings) that were rightfully His.
In his section on temptation, Mahaney refers to a penetrating article by William Farley, entitled "The Poison of Self Pity". In the article, Farley describes the subtle dangers of self-pity and how various disappointments lead to displacing Christ as Lord by enthroning ourselves instead. At the root of our struggle is idolatry and pride–an exaltation of self that is evidenced by two things: (1) an inaccurate sense of "who I am and what I deserve," and (2) a forgetfulness of who Christ is and what Christ has done on my behalf. In other words, our ignorance and spiritual amnesia manifest themselves in an inflated sense of self and personal entitlement coupled with a forgetfulness and ingratitude toward God for His grace. Self-pity forsakes the functional reality of the gospel–that we deserve death and condemnation and that Christ alone deserves worship and blessing. Yet, Christ stood in our place in order to bear the weight of our punishment so that we might be reconciled to God and enjoy the vicarious extension of His reward.
In the simplest form, the cure for "the poison of self-pity" is the antidote of gospel gratitude. A right understanding of self and the saving work of Christ will produce an overwhelming sense of gratitude that will recalibrate our perspective. We will praise God rather than grumble at Him; exhibit joy rather than grow embittered; display humility and grace rather than anger and frustration. We will be God-centered rather than self-centered. We will seek to edify others instead of being consumed by our own frustrations and unfulfilled desires. Instead of seeking to be served by unloading our disappointment, we will seek to serve others by prayerfully ministering to them. In other words, our grateful, faith-filled embrace of the gospel will slay the dragon of self-pity that seeks to devour our lives.
As a man prone toward self-pity and sinful indulgence, I highly recommend both articles for your prayerful consideration. While Christ has redeemed us with His own blood, His work of curing us from self-centeredness has only been commenced; it has not been completed. It will not be fully realized until He returns. As recipients of God's sanctifying grace, we are called to extend His grace toward others as we joyfully reflect the character of Christ who entrusted Himself to God, even while suffering the fate that should have been ours. While we may suffer hardships and experience unfulfilled desires in this life, we know that our Father is trustworthy and gracious. We know that He has given us the Holy Spirit as our Comforter and Guide, and that all things are being used by Him to sanctify us toward perfection. And, we know that Christ has lived perfectly in our place and died purposefully as our Substitute. The very ways in which we fall short, He did not; and His obedience has been credited to us–freeing us from enslavement to self-pity and uniting us to God in gratitude and grace. THAT is the sweetness of the gospel in the midst of chronic disappointment and pain.
While these realities are not easy to embrace, we have a loving God who enables us to do so whenever we humbly come to the foot of the Cross and forsake ourselves in order that we might have Christ. He is willing and able to do more than we could ever ask or imagine (Eph. 3:14-21)… We must repeatedly preach these truths to ourselves and to one another, because we are prone toward self-pity, pride, ingratitude, and self-consumption. Let us trust God as He empowers us to die to self and live to Christ!

2004 Hyundai Terracan crtdi 2.9 from UK and Ireland
Excellent engine+car, shame suspension not up to the job
2000 miles 4 months old front and rear suspension faulty, notified dealer. It took dealer 4months to check out and order parts. Found that front and rear suspension bottoming out on the bump stops. Informed Hyundai customer care. The dealer then ordered a pair of rear shocks. Only 1 turned up after 2 weeks, then 2 weeks later the other turned up. Fault was still there. They then ordered a pair of springs and exactly the same happened. This problem has been checked and identified as a problem by the Hyundai product manager and 7 months on still not rectified. I bought this vehicle to tow a caravan weighing 1500kg.Since 2000 miles and 4 months old it can't even carry the driver of the vehicle over a silent policeman at 5mph and not bottom out. Hyundai have had this problem out in Australia and have manufactured a new optional extra suspension kit for people who tow caravan/trailers.So this to me means the original suspension is inadequate for the job they say it can do. I wouldn't have bought this vehicle if I'd have known this about the suspension.
Problems with rear diff. Fault took 6 months to rectify by fitting a new one, no problems since.
Alloy wheel coating coming off all the wheels, Hyundai have Ok'd 4 new wheels and 4 tyres as there was excessive wear on the tyres due to the faulty diff and suspension.
Leather coming off the steering wheel, new steering wheel on order.
Gear knob changed as the gear numbers couldn't be seen and the car only had 8000 miles on the clock.
2 new side steps fitted as there was rust appering on them. They were ordered and fitted within 1 week.
Rear window metal strip by the quarter lights rusted. They were changed within 2 weeks.
Rear boot struts faulty, they were changed within 1 week.
Other niggley faults to top it all.
General Comments:
This 4x4 has got a brilliant engine and quite economical.
The leather seats are great.
Good space in the boot.
Could do with more storage in the boot area for warning triangle and tow rope and tools.
Good clear view of dash board and controls.
Need to put darker grey carpet in the car rather than the light one as it marks easy.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? No
Review Date: 14th December, 2005

While in Adelaide last October (06) I read a very informative article in an Australian 4x4 magazine which compared the Trek n Tow option unfavourably to an after market alternative. I'm sorry, but I can't recall the name of the magazine or the manufacturer of the after market option, and I had to leave the magazine behind, but I recall that it mentioned the issue with the bump stops. The article implied that Hyundai indicated they considered the bump stops to be a normal part of the suspension travel and that the frequent bottoming out was perfectly normal. The article also inferred that the vehicle itself utilised some previous generation Mitsubishi Shogun technology, and that some after market components are interchangeable. If required, I could always ask the mother in law if she's still reading the magazine in the toilet where I left it...

The Tulsa Convention Center is a Tulsa Treasure, hosting hundreds of exciting events and delighting event goers for more than 40 years. The overall Convention Center remodel was a huge undertaking in 2009. Hoffman Fixtures Company was excited to be chosen to as the successful contractor to handle this project. In this project it is interesting to note that the DuPont Zodiaq quartz public restroom vanity tops are installed away from the back wall providing for easier cleaning.

New Yorkers: in a response to the insane Republican white supremacy movement, with its hateful hashtag #gasthesynagogue, Abraham, Inc. are throwing a party, and everyone is invited to join them at Symphony Space THIS SUN, SEPT 24th at 7pm. This concert benefits the NYCLU/American Civil Liberties Union, and features some absolutely brilliant, legendary musicians, including Marc Ribot (of those Tom Waits tracks) and Fred Wesley (of those James Brown and George Clinton tracks).

the writing's on the wall
I have to confess that this month I've been lured into a bit of graphic design. It's a challenging project, matching typeface to photography and other design elements to suggest a certain flavour of tradition with a hint of nostalgia. For once, I had to go beyond the standard image editing tools and make tracks into the heady world of fonts. At the same time I started to read 'Just My Type,' a really well written book on the cultural meaning and context of a well turned alphabet character. (Also interwoven is a history of the printing press.) It's a fascinating insight into the importance of speaking well in 2D. This got me on to thinking of how we are surrounded by signs, messages and graffiti and what they are unconsciously saying to us 24⁄7. Words demand attention. How many times do you read the same magazine cover, packaging or errant post whilst sitting on the loo? It's compulsive. The writing is definitely on the wall, literally and everywhere. More »
Boxed and Labelled
We are Merchant & Mills. Of the two, I'm most likely Merchant. Our packaging reflects the company ethos of sound design with a nod to the past. By using strong images and announcing the product titles in bold, capital letters, it reaches both sides of the brain at once: the visual right and the pragmatic, linguistic left. It is futile to resist. It works on me. It makes me want the things inside the package. I am reminding you to covet. More »
shoot the kids
The winter, now in full swing, puts a bit of a damper on outside jobs. The days are shorter, the weather unpredictable and the general tempo of things seems to slow down, grinding occasionally to an unwanted halt. Not being one to sit on my laurels waiting for the phone to ring or the email to ping, I took some time out this month to re‐examine the offspring – photographically speaking. I like children. I made four and, if memory serves me correctly, I was once a child myself. I feel for mine though, as the progeny of a photographer they have between them endured some trials. When Edwyn, now 24, was eight or nine we took him one January afternoon to a freezing pond on Hampstead Heath where he had to stand shirtless, looking deathly and frozen for the jacket of a book; a grim tale of a depressed lad who one day turned and walked into a lake to be seen no more. In between shots Edwyn had to be cloaked in a towel and rubbed down. But at least he survived – and the book looked great.
I'm guessing that children are the most popular subject for pictures Gawd love 'em. Yet still it's rare that I see portraits or action shots that get to the heart of the wee beasties. There Is an awful lot of vibrant yet anodyne shots that look like Persil ads and the high street photographers, on the whole, perpetuate this shiny lifestyle look. The advent of mobile phones as cameras has done little to improve quality control and while I'm all for spontaneity, my tip is to slow down and be prepared for the spontaneous to occur. As Cartier Bresson said, 'the more I practice the luckier I seem to get.' On top of all this we all want our kids to look happy in pictures (so that they can't later sue us for their therapy bills?) There must be piles to the moon of fake smiles and awkward grimaces attempting fake smiles. Anyone who likes a good movie will know that cheeriness and smiling is less poignant, somehow less deep, than the pensive and more emotional. Capturing those moments of struggle, reflection or simply day to day being is more likely to result in timeless, classic shots that the kids will want to keep and show. More »
freelance life
One of my favourite aspects of the freelance life is never knowing where I will find myself next, especially as I find it hard to say no to any paid work in case I have to go get a proper job. So this month, I have photographed the preparation of strange and beautiful tomatoes by one of London's finest chefs (lit by two tiny halogen lamps in a dark kitchen), shot a young lad under Brighton Pier and in the rolling hills beyond for a book jacket and spent two weeks following rising BBC star, Genevieve Barr as she knocks a bunch of disabled actors into shape at a drama workshop. Each job had its merits, the common thread being the opportunity to work with new people and face the challenge of getting good, publishable pictures that tell the story well, no matter what the conditions.

balti birmingham
'You cannot beat the vegetable baltis over in Sparkbrook,' enthuses Colin, my grandly‐turbanned Sikh cab driver, in a fierce Brummie accent, 'it is to die for, but not literally, we all get on up here!' he quips. So begins my introduction to the Balti triangle, Southeast of Birmingham's heaving, modern city centre. It is a well‐established melting pot, half a dozen streets being home to a vibrant Asian quarter, the majority of residents having roots in Pakistan's east; Lahore and Kashmir. The area is under sporadic reconstruction since, in 2005, Sparkbrook found itself battered by 4 minutes of freak winds in Britain's worst tornado in 30 years. Undeterred the British born second, third and fourth generations continue to make a success of all things Pakistani. From Uncle's Home Stores, selling household goods and specialised cooking equipment, to the , bespoke and bejewelled sari making, to indigenous sweets (ladoo, burfi and para) and authentic gourmet cooking, they are a tough lot, hewn from hard labour and perseverance in the face of discrimination and hardship. The first wave of determined, Muslim migrants settled in this triangle of roads from the early 1960s when the established Irish residents, finding greater social acceptance became upwardly mobile and headed to the more genteel outlying suburbs. The neglected streets and cheap housing soon began to fill with newly arrived Pakistanis, seeking work at the nearby Lucas plant and the surrounding automotive factories. They brought with them their families, and their unique, spicy recipes; shops soon sprung up providing the fresh ingredients for a piquant taste of home like the unique Pakistani red carrots, renowned for their sweetness, or pre‐packed fenugreek seeds and the ubiquitous ginger and garlic purée.
Fes el Bali
Fes is never still and never quiet. From the first white light of the day to the hazy thickening dusk, people with heads held straight, are moving with purpose and urgency.
The movement is swift and graceful, the sounds more gruff and violent. They say here that a still head is a stone – dead. They have no saying for a silent head for they have never encountered such a thing. More »

Review by Mavis Value: Quality: Price: Aug 23, 2016Received the dress and am loving it. Immediately ordered another 2 dresses for a separate occasion.
Review by spearshobbs Value: Quality: Price: Jun 28, 2016fantastic! this is the second formal we have gotten from them. these mid range priced dresses are just as good as the higher priced dresses offered in boteque stores and if you buy the cheaper dresses offered in other online stores like WISH you will be sorry! we would never have been able to get such nice dresses any other way.
Review by burchy Quality: Price: Value: Jun 6, 2016Loved it! The size was as mentioned, nice quality, delivered very quickly, thank you!
I ordered size 16, then resized it from the back. But I knew this was gonna happen, I have a large waist so I preferred ordering one a little bigger so I can arrange the bust.
It is a little longer than the picture or the model wearing it is very tall. I'm 170 cm and 75 kgs.
Anyway overall a great purchase!

Remember Knight Rider? The quintessential '80s cop show ran from 1982-1986 and provided David Hasselhoff (as Michael Knight) with a springboard to international fame and eventual Baywatch fortune. He was shot, then he got plastic surgery, then he took on crime. Knight sped around in a custom 1982 Pontiac Trans-Am named "KITT" (Knight Industries Two Thousand) that was powered by a talking computer, voiced by William Daniels. And now you can turn the latest model of the MacBook Pro into a laptop version of KITT.
The feature won't work on any of the older models, as it involves the Touch Bar. An enterprising retro TV fan by the name of Anthony Da Mota recently uploaded "KnightTouchBar2000" to GitHub for anyone to try out for free. What it does is make the Touch Bar look and function just like that flashing red light on KITT's face … er, grille.
More: MacBook Pro 13-Inch with Touch Bar review
The light bounces back and forth as if KITT/William Daniels was speaking, and you also get the show's theme song. As Gizmodo notes, it's hard to say if that is a bonus or not. In any case, tote this around and you too can feel like "a man (or woman) without a past."
KITT was probably the most famous of the 1980s TV cars. But let's not forget other flashy entries like the Ferrari Daytona (sadly blown up by a missile launcher) and Testarossa of Crocket and Tubbs on Miami Vice, or the Ferrari 308 owned by Robin Masters but driven into the ground by (Thomas) Magnum, P.I. The 308 didn't have any of KITT's tech, and the two Miami Vice cars didn't either, apart from that first-gen corded cell phone.
With KnightTouchBar2000, you can enjoy KITT's chaser animation without the back talk; "Michael, are you sure jumping off this cliff is a good idea? I'm not programmed for that sort of thing."

for Louis Poulsen Panthella F
Made in
The Louis Poulsen Panthella F is characterised by its harmonious, organic shape. The main characteristic is its gently shaped, hemispherical lamp shade, which is made of opal-white injection-moulded acryl. The base is manufactured from ABS (a thermoplastic polymer). The subtle design of the Panthella floor lamp was conceived by Verner Panton. The Danish architect and designer was one of the first to combine pop art with furniture. He is considered one of the most important furniture designer and interior architect of the 20th century. For the Panthella, which was released in 1971, Verner Panton has been honoured with the famous iF Design Award
The design of the Panthella F was penned by Verner Panton who created the Reading lights in 1971 for the manufacturer Louis Poulsen.
The Louis Poulsen Panthella F stands out for its distinguished lighting effect. While the lamp shade reflects most of the light downwards, it simultaneously spreads some soft, diffused ambient light, which suffuses the room with a harmonious base lighting. Please note that the Panthella comes without lamps. light11 recommends using halogen lamps, as they supply pleasant, warm-white light and ensure a brilliant colour rendering, which means that the colours of illuminated objects appear as natural as possible.

Harvey & Thompson Pawnbrokers have over 160 branches nationwide, offering traditional pawnbroking services for gold and jewellery alongside cheque cashing and payday loans.
All good recession-proof stuff (although as previously reported on the blog the supposedly recession-loving Poundland is struggling to make a go of it in Worcester Park).
It is time, I think, to remind myself of my age old mantra that an open shop has to be better than a boarded up shop. Just.

Defensive Designby Mike Nowak
- Tags: #Mike Nowak
A funny thing happened to me on the way to writing one of my columns last year. I decided to draw something instead, thereby saving myself from writing about four hundred words and, simultaneously, terrorizing approximately 93% of the people who open the magazine to this page. (How do we know? We take dozens and dozens of scientific polls about every aspect of this publication. Doesn't everybody?)
I titled that piece "I Can't Draw, Don't Ask Me" and a second funny thing happened a couple of months ago. It won an award from the Garden Writers Association (of America, no less). For illustration. This is what we in the writing business call "irony."
If you want to see the "award-winning" drawing, you'll have to dig up your own copy of the May/June 2004 issue. I've since mailed all of mine to adoring relatives and friends, C.O.D.
It occurs to me that I have been barking up the wrong horticultural tree. Regardless of how lame my visual artistic instincts are and how many people I terrorize with my drawings, I obviously need to put more crayons to construction paper. And since I have, of late, been the sounding board for gardeners obsessed with protecting their precious plants from evil-doing rabbits, deer, insects, birds, kids, bladder-control-challenged dogs, crazed adults with herbicidal sprays, hostile corporate take-overs and even soccer moms in SUVs (is nothing sacred?), I realized that it was my civic duty to return to the computer software drawing board.
You'll note how much more sophisticated my designs have become. After thumbing through at least two fancy landscaping books, I have eschewed circles and arrows and have embraced the design "Key." I'm so proud of myself my teeth ache.
No awards for this one, please.
It's on the house.

FatHead Films Co-owner Announces Formation of New Film Company
FatHead Films co-owner Justin R. Romine has announced the formation of a new film company, Sweet Berry Wine Productions. Romine, the director of the controversial independent films What They Say (Best Actress Heather Dorff, 2011 Chicago Horror Film Festival) and Afraid of Sunrise (Best Actor nominee Andy Schatner, 2011 Chicago Horror Film Festival), said he started Sweet Berry Wine Productions in order to separate grittier upcoming projects from those at FatHead, which is in pre-production for the children's chiller Trapped.
Asserting he will remain equally involved with FatHead Films, Romine explained: "Sweet Berry Wine Productions was created so I could delve into the darker, more adult and horror-oriented materials. This will give us a platform to showcase those films, whereas with FatHead Films, we can focus on the education and acting prowess of the children we work with on a regular basis."
Sweet Berry Wine Productions is in pre-production for its first films under the new banner, including What in the Sam Hill, written by and starring Willy Adkins (Spook Show Entertainment), and featuring Michael Schmid (4Lizard Productions) and Romine. Also in pre-production is soon-to-be cult classic Zombie Clowns, written by Romine and Adkins, and The Good Life, where Romine will be teaming up with former UNLV classmates Dustin Martin (Plainfield Entertainment) and Jason Tillmon. These three films are only the first of many, Romine promised.
Sweet Berry Wine Productions is also happy to announce that they will be involved in FatHead T.V., a horror sketch-comedy show that will be playing regularly on local cable. Romine says film is not Sweet Berry Wine's only interest, however. "The studio is open to all facets of media and art. Having met, befriended, and worked with so many people opens up a huge avenue for us to discover all kinds of mixed media." Romine says that the company will also offer instruction in screenwriting, acting, directing, filmmaking, producing, and editing, among other things. Romine instructs college classes in film, literature, and screenwriting. Private instruction is also available.

Welcome to day 2 of CBR's live reporting from the New York Comic Con. We now join Saturday's Make Mine Marvel panel. The panel is moderated by editor Nick Lowe, with novelist Jonathan Lethem ("Fortress of Solitude," Marvel's "Omega the Unknown") as the first guest. Dwayne Swierczynski ("Cable") followed, with Bryan Hitch after. Orson Scott Card has just taken the stage.
Lethem began by saying that he had always intended "Omega the Unknown" to run monthly, although the original series was bimonthly.
"'Omega' came out right around the time I realized Marvel was launching new superheroes," Lethem said, after explaining that readers come to understand comics gradually. "THis one had a character who was a kid who went to public school in a tough neighborhood," he said, adding that he identified with the Omega characters to a strong degree.
Lethem noted that "Omega" set up long-running mysteries, which were unusual for the time. "Today it's normal."
"That it was unresolved [issue to issue] kept haunting me," Lethem said. "It forced my imagination to fill in the blanks."
"With 'Omega,' when I had the chance to do this comic, what can I do leaping in cold, that will be new, and justify the hoopla of someone like me jumping over into comics," Lethem said, noting that he's a novice comics writers. He said there's a perception that novelists doing comics will be "huge" or dark. His goal with 'Omega' was to "slow it down, explore the places in betweeen." He described the book as a "pensive comic... where the characters aren't doing a lot, so you can just be with the characters."
Lethem said that, when looking for an artist for "Omega," he found a lot of artists he like but that these were all in some way making the super-heroes bigger. He wanted "Omega" to be down to earth, somewhat "homely." Farel Dalrymple was chosen for his work on "Pop Gun War," and his talent with cityscapes.
Lowe asked Lethem about his obsession with Bob Dylan, and when his cover album would come out. "I'd have to get someone else to sing the covers," Lethem joked, saying he had no talent for music.
Following Lethem, Dwayne Swierczynski came on stage to talk about "Cable" and "Immortal Iron Fist."
Lowe spoke with Swierczynski about his crime novels, asking "Did you ever steal anything?"
"I was raised as a good Catholic boy," Swierczynski said. "I was too afraid to steal. Plus, the pope's here."
"He's our special guest!" Lowe joked.
Swierczynski said the "Cable" series was offered to him when Alonso said, "How do you feel about a series featuring a giant mutant and baby?" "What do you mean, Mr. ALonso sir?" Swierczynski said he replied.
They then discussed the "armor-plated bjorn," with Swierczynski quipping that it was a popular accessory in Philadelphia.
Getting into Cable's complicated history, Swierczynski said that Cable is "basically a messiah figure, protecting a messiah baby."
"As the series goes on, the daughter will grow, and as a tempermental four year old, you know, she'll say "Dad you're an idiot. But if you call Cable an idiot, usually he'll shoot you."
He compared following Matt Fraction on "Iron Fist" to following Bob Dylan with his guitar, but hoped fans would like it. Swierczynski indicated that Fraction recommended him for the book.
"You've written an entire book about beer," Lowe said, to which the audience applauded. "How did I not know this?"
"I've also written a book about cocktails," Swierczynski said. "But what do you drink when you're on a panel with Nick Lowe? Grain alcohol." He said that while he was doing "research" for the books, his wife was pregnant and couldn't drink at all.
Swierczynski talked about his time at a men's health magazine and Philadelphia's City Paper. Philly also got applause.
"Another book was about office espionage... have you ever done any of the things in that books?" Swierczynski joked that his co-author was the mastermind, who "wore a mask."
Issue #6 of "Cable" will "touch back with the present." "The story plays out in the future, but it's also tied in heavily with the X-Men in the present." Issue #6 will check in with Cyclops's perception of Cable's recent actions.
"Matt Fraction, whose last issue [of 'Iron Fist'] is #16, has set up something really cool that I can't reveal," that looks at the hero in a new way.
Bryan Hitch represented the first artist to come on stage, and he and Lowe bantered about water cups on stage.
"Authority" was "definitely where the career began," Hitch said. "It was the first series that I could really be me," he said, and that this was part of Warren Ellis's intent.
"The 'Ultimates', we knew the story from the very start," Hitch said, and it was "set up within an hour of talking to each other." He said Mark Millar had intended the book to run two years.
"Fantastic Four is more of a rolling thing, which allows me to be a bit more productive," Hitch said.
Lowe asked Hitch about a scene in "Ultimates" involving Iron Man pushing a kid into a ditch. He said that was his addition.
"You kind of imagine how you want it to feel when you read it," Hitch said, referring to his new border and color techniques in "FF."
Hitch insisted that he really did hurt his back lifting a piano, which led to delays. And flooding in northern England led to further "Ultimates" delays.
Regarding "Fantastic Four:" "Everything's there for a reason," including the giant Cap robot. He also said that Millar's "Wolverine" run will tie in to what's going on now in "FF."
Orson Scott Card, author of "Enders Game" and "Ultimate Iron Man," said that dinner last night included one to many dishes. "They kept offering me food, and I don't know how to say no," he said.
"I quit my dayjob on January 1st 1978," he said, and he's been a freelancer ever since, with one exception.
"I'm not a guy who takes orders well," Card said.
"The truth is I write really really fast," he said, which is why he has been able to write in so many different media.
"The thinking time is the important thing," Card said, "and between thinking time, time is spent playing the nuisance games on the computer." He cited Tetris and Civilization II as major influences.
Card discussed a character in a book he's writing for Del Rey, whose origins he is now fleshing out. It involves a boy who is buried under a tree, who is eventually absorbed into the tree to emerge 1500 years later.
"Me writing comics was entirely your doing," Card said to Lowe. He mentioned that a lot of editors approach him for projects but do not follow through. Card said he himself did not have much follow through either, but Lowe kept on him.
"As a playwright, I realized that what you see in comics are plays with really, really expensive sets."
When approached about Iron Man, Card said that, not reading a lot of comics himself, he thought Iron Man sounded like "the stupidest character that I've ever seen." But Lowe told him about the Ultimates concept, so Card thought about why Tony Stark would wear the armor himself. "Once I found that, I liked the story, and once I liked it I could write the story."
Card said the sample script Lowe sent him was "apparently by an eccentric weirdo, since now my scripts don't look like anybody else's." He uses minimal description, and thought about the differences between a writer's role in comics, theatre, and film.
"Ender's Game" and "Ender's Shadow" will be published by Marvel, illustrated by Pascual Ferry. Chris Yost is scripting, with Jake Black as story consultant.. Each will be six issues. "Marvel does terrific work," Card said, and that when a movie eventually comes out it will be based on Marvel's vision.
Addressing the history of Ender's Game as a short story and novel, Card said the novel "exists only to set up 'Speaker for the Dead,' the Nebula Award winner nobody reads."
Now discuss this story in CBR's Marvel Comics forum

'Would you like any help madam?'
'No Barbarella I would not! I am just dabbing on as much expensive stuff as I can because I am fucking trapped here and this is the only way I can make someone pay.'

Plymouth City councillors are set to approve funding for a new flagship library in the heart of the city centre.
The new central library in Mayflower Street would replace the current library in North Hill, making way for the £25 million History Centre which is due to open in 2020.
The Council's ambition is to create a modern, flexible and welcoming library that will attract more users and it is asking Plymouth residents to give their views on what they would like to see in it.
As well as making way for the new History Centre the new library will deliver a key ambition in the Council's plan for modernising its library service, which follows an extensive review that listened to customer views and looked at best practice around the country.
The new £1.4 million library which is due to open in Spring 2016, will be easier for many users to get to and will be fully accessible for people with disabilities.
Deputy Leader Councillor Peter Smith said "This is an exciting opportunity to create a new central library fit for the 21st century. We want to provide a library service that offers facilities and services that people now expect and to create an open, bright, friendly and welcoming environment with opportunities to access wider services.
"The way people use libraries is changing, with physical visits falling and virtual visits increasing. We know that if we are to protect this important resource for everyone we need to respond to what users want.
"The new location will encourage more people of all ages to drop in to borrow books, use free computers, access free Wi-Fi, study, meet with friends or research their family history.
"Not only will the new library be a fantastic resource for Plymouth but it will also help breathe new life into an area of the city centre that has long awaited investment. It will complement the new coach hub that we are opening nearby, which will also help attract more visitors to this part of the city centre."
The Council will be asking users to help them co-design the new central lending library from next month (April). People will be encouraged to give their views on what facilities they would like to see in the new library, how they would like to use it and how they would like the space inside the building to be arranged.
The popular local studies library collection will move with the lending library to its new home on Mayflower Street until 2020 when it will join the city's other treasured collections and archive material in the History Centre, taking its place as an important resource for people to use as they explore the story of Plymouth's past.
Some of the central library's back office functions will also be relocated, the details of which are still being finalised.

When a coil goes bad what is it that goes wrong? Does a wire burn thru and can the coils be repaired? Trying to learn a little more, thanks, Mike

If your lucky, they miss fire long enough to get you home. One of the other treats is to stop firing and all a sudden it come back to life after you kicked your ass off and it cooled down, only to do it again 30 minutes later. Bob L
Generally it is an internal short due to overheating and damaging the insulation in the wiring, which is just shellac or in later coils an epoxy type material. That changes the resistance and creates the issues. Coils work by creating a magnetic field with one set of windings outside of another which creates the voltage change needed to fire the plugs. When the windings break down the coil fails to produce the needed energy. It is basically a step-up transformer creating extremely high voltage with very little amperage. Your home operates on a step down transformer going the other direction. A bit of Black Magic as there is no physical connection between the windings. Lots of stuff works in similar ways. Such as brushless cordless tools, they are all induction driven.

Thank you for the help.
Harbor Vintage had a coil restoration service. I don't know if they are still doing it or not.

Thanks Chris, they did rebuild the coil for my '34 B.
An old tip from Harley is to deal with the mastic inside the coil slumping down to cover the contacts. Find a piece of copper tubing the same diameter as the plug wires, cut saw teeth in one end, and use it to core out the offending mastic.
Steve, What's always worked for me is to heat of the coil to soften the goo and the wire slide right on down to the spike in the bottom which impales the core wire and when it cools down, bingo.
Isn't it tar? I always thought it was and with Steve's recommendation to core the coil and then clean the contacts.

Book Nostalgia and Time-Life Nature
February 21, 2010
My friend Kim wrote an outstanding blog post about the books that she remembers reading over and over as a kid, the Time Life Nature Library.
And I would look at them for hours. It's not quite accurate to say I "read" them — the text itself was rather dense and heady, but every chapter had a photo section, and all of the other pages had a small line drawing with a caption, and I'd often pull one down from the shelf, curl up in a chair, and read all the captions and study all the pictures.
Go, read the post! It will make you smile. What book did you read over and over as a kid?
Anyone who's read my blog more than once knows my answer. The Westing Game.

§ Mr. David Watkins
asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will estimate the number of persons receiving basic state pension who pay income tax; and what revenue is raised from this source.
§ Mr. Ridley
[pursuant to his reply, 14 April 1983, c. 442]: No one whose income consists solely of the basic national insurance retirement pension will pay income tax in 1983–84. It is estimated that, at 1983–84 income levels, just over 2 million single people or married couples over 65 who receive a national insurance retirement pension have enough additional income to bring them into liability to income tax.

In a little over an hour, history will be made (well about an hour according to the time on my laptop; I still haven't been able to get wordpress to show the correct time.)
In the United States, either an African American will take the reins of government, or a woman will become second in command.
Now, I have watched the American election with a lot of interest, not so much because of the impending changes its about to bring, but more because the events and characters in it have been more entertaining than the latest adventures of Britney and Kevin.
But despite all of the rhetoric and name calling, I have to admit that (like most of the world) I want to see Barack Obama become president. For me, that's a big change, considering that my blood runs the deep blue of Alberta conservatism.
But, the U.S. really hasn't prospered all that much under "Dubya" and the Republicans, so it really does seem like its time for someone new–and I really can't see that doddering old fool McCain taking power and then probably just as quickly turning it over to power hungry (and apparently dumber than Dubya) Sarah Palin.
Let's face it, not knowing who the PM of Canada is and thinking a porn video is actually an expose of you doesn't make me want you running the most powerful country in the world.
But, there is still an hour left before we find out who takes over the White House and, as the 2004 elections taught us, anything can happen in the good ol' U.S. of A.
This time around though, lets hope the good guys will triumph and that the Americans will look at the remains of their country and vote for change. After all, what did they gain over the last 8 years?
Go Barack Go!

I don't know the details of this particular situation, but I can speak to at least one known issue in DDB: right now, getting into DDB from a serial console is a very quick and straight forward path, requiring only the delivery of the serial interrupt and execution of its fast handler. The regular video console keypresses take a much more circuitous route, as syscons isn't MPSAFE, so include the scheduling of an ithread and acquisition of Giant. As such, I've found breaking into the debugger much easier from a serial console for several years. As Giant has been pushed off larger and larger parts of the kernel, the syscons break path has gotten a lot more reliable. There will always be certain cases where a console break (serial or video) will not work, and those include cases where interrupts are disabled on all CPUs (such as if spinlocks are held on all CPUs, perhaps due to one being leaked and then a cascading deadline). In that situation, there's nothing like a nice NMI button or IPMI NMI to get into the debugger :-). We have a feature on i386 and amd64 called MP_WATCHDOG, which allows one CPU to be dedicated to being a watchdog for the others--on lower end hardware this isn't so useful, as CPUs aren't plentiful, but as the number of cores increases, it becomes more and more possible to run this without disrupting normal operation of the machine. When it notices the kernel is no longer running callouts, it delivers an NMI to the other CPUs and kicks (hopefully) one of them into DDB. There are a number of issues with the implementation, not least that we do actually run some other code on the watchdog CPU sometimes as our interrupt routing and scheduler need a bit more adaptation, but it can be quite useful nonetheless.

You and I
And you and I are you and I
Forever and again
the calmness of this
is with me till the end.
You and I are in the eyes
and nothing now can mend
I let you in
you let me out
I let you in again.
And we are stood
with our clothes off
Lewis would approve
and we have slept
too many times
nothing left to prove.
All our eyes are you and I
and once again we know
this is where we're standing
this is where we'll go.
The Eye
We are in it's eye,
the choice that swirls outside
and I am begging that
Captain Oates not step in.
I can see a path that is no path
and the Trickster starts to grin.
Lies can only take you so far
Isn't it more fun to tell the truth
the glint of teeth in the night
the shine of a blade is never so pretty
as the sting of what is right
the bard called more than he knew
down into this well of calm.
The leaves swirl all outside,
not yet, not yet
until the rain falls
and the storm breaks
we are in the eye.
Each voice a single voice
Each choice a single choice
and nothing unified
but the future holds
a way out of the eye.
"I haven't fallen asleep with you in a while"

Alice looked up at Christopher with a smile,
peering over Sapphic verse. "I thought I'd try poetic form."
What about me?
Are you asking if I love you?
Aren't I always?
Of course I love you,
but there are different loves
and different ways
and besides
you're a woman.
Am I giving something to the moment?
Or to the world?
Do you love me?
It is ever you and always you
and you again.
I write
with the last look in your eyes
as my ink.
I am surprised, how it has always been
since the day you stripped bare
and I began.
Happy New Year
And I am swept, into the New Year
by your eyes
by your smile
and in your arms.
A rush like nothing else
being bowled over,
kissed in the best way,
hanging on your every word
and clinging
to you and the look in your eyes.
We are here,
in the night
and the cold
warmed by our smiles
and lamp-post number four
remains unvisited
for now.

Earlier this year I went in for my annual mammogram. There was some cause for concern so I had an ultrasound. There was still cause for concern so the doctor scheduled me for a needle biopsy. When it came time for me to have the biopsy, I was given another ultrasound and a different doctor (at the same clinic) told me there was absolutely nothing wrong with me and I did not need the invasive needle biopsy after all.
I rather dread my annual mammogram, which is now a semi-annual mammogram because I've had this false scare. The A U.S. health task force stunned much of the medical world and many women in November 2009 by recommending that most women didn't need to get their first mammogram until age 50. I had my first at age 35 because my OBGYN recommended it.
A new Harris Interactive/HealthDay poll finds that women in their 40s want their mammograms, and two-thirds of them weren't even aware of the task force's recommendations. About 57 percent of women surveyed believe mammograms should start at age 40, according to the poll of 1,083 U.S. women over 18 years of age conducted April 18-20, while just 12 percent thought that 50 was the right age to start getting the imaging tests. Specifically, 45 percent of the women polled said the task force pushed back the recommended age to 50 to reduce health-care costs and avoid administering unnecessary tests, while 30 percent believe the task force made the recommendation because excessive tests produced too many so-called false-positive results, leading women to unnecessarily think they had cancer when they did not.
The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force bucked long-standing advice 17 months ago that yearly mammograms should start for women when they turn 40. The task force said mammograms for women in their 40s led to too many false-positives, unnecessary worry and biopsies, and relatively few lives saved. Instead, the task force recommended routine mammograms every two years for women ages 50 to 74. Women in their 40s were advised to discuss their breast cancer risk factors with their doctors and make a personal decision about whether to get screened or not.
Despite widespread news coverage of the task force recommendations, the new poll found that 66 percent of women in their 40s hadn't even heard about the recommendations. And 72 percent of women in their 40s disagreed with the new recommendations after being told about them. The new recommendations aside, many women in their 40s are still getting mammograms — 77 percent of women in their 40s have already had at least one mammogram, while 64 percent reported getting one annually, the poll found.
The American Cancer Society continues to recommend annual mammograms for women starting at age 40.

White sand beaches, turquoise waters, limestone cliffs, waterfalls and exotic wildlife - Thailand is the perfect holiday destination for those planning a two week holiday or an epic backpacking trip.
Carmen Rodrigues, Branch Manager at St Helier Travelmaker, was invited to Thailand by the Tourist Authority of Thailand to learn and experience what it has to offer. Carmen visited Krabi and Chiang Mai, as well as the beautiful island of Koh Yao Noi.
Krabi Town
Krabi Town is a bustling transport hub on Thailand's southern west coast where there is no shortage of restaurants, gift shops and bars.
Top experiences
Yoga is incredibly popular in this part of the world. There is an array of yoga centres and retreats and many hotels offer yoga classes as part of their amenities. Island hoping tours from Krabi are also great days out - the Islands of Daeng, Paradise and Hong Lagoon are highly recommended. Krabi town itself is fairly relaxed with an excellent range of restaurants and bars often playing music and sport.
Where to stay
For high-end luxury the 5* Phulay Bay Ritz Carlton is perfect.
Alternatively, there is the 4* Beyond, which is a modern beachfront property, or 3.5* Centra by Centara Phu Pano is a good budget option.
Koh Yao Noi
Koh Yao Noi is a nature filled island in the Andaman Sea also known as Thailand's best-kept secret.
Top experiences
Local villages offer an authentic insight into the life of locals with Koh Yao Noi villagers farming, fishing, tapping rubber and swinging in hammocks strung up under their stilted homes.
The island's beaches are well known for their golden sand and turquoise water, offering a range of activities from diving and snorkelling to sea kayaking and rock climbing.
Some resorts offer rice planting and Thai cooking lessons, which are a must do if available.
Where to stay
Paradise Koh Yao is a boutique resort and spa in close proximity to a national tropical rainforest – it's perfect for those seeking relaxation, privacy and love being surrounded by nature.
There are also a number of budget family-run bungalows on the island, such as Sabai Corner Bungalows.
Chiang Mai
Chiang Mai is Thailand's northern capital and the ideal escape from the whirlwind pace of Bangkok.
Top experiences
There are countless (over 300) Buddhist Temples in Chiang Mai.
The top temples to visit include Wat Phra That Doi Suthep, Wat Chedi Luang and Wat Pra Singh.
To learn and discover more of Chiang Mai, City Tours are excellent. The Tuk Tuk Club tour for example explores the rural outskirts of Chiang Mai and includes bathing with elephants.
Where to stay
The 5* RatiLanna Riverside Spa Resort is only a 20 minute transfer from the airport and offers beautiful rooms inspired by the Lanna Kingdom culture.
Thailand – Know Before You Go
To enter Thailand for up to 30 days, British Citizens are visa exempt. The only requirement for visitors is to hold a passport with six-month validity and two blank pages.
There are no compulsory vaccinations to travel to Thailand but it is advisable to visit a GP well in advance of travel in case vaccinations or malaria tablets are required.
Visitors should also avoid tap water and ice.
Thailand's weather is at its best between the months of December and April.
Local customs
Modest clothing must be worn, including covering knees and shoulders, when visiting temples or religious buildings.
The currency of Thailand is the Thai Baht.
A travel money card, available from Travelmaker, is recommended to avoid high ATM fees and ensure better protection from card fraud.
On the whole, Thailand is a very affordable holiday destination, for example local beer is approximately £1.50. In general, 10% is considered a reasonable tip for most services.
The Travelmaker team have a wealth of experience in arranging travel for islanders and are able to offer expert advice on Thailand as well as many other holiday destinations.

Nowadays studying in college can be compared to "Mission: Impossible". Let's think about this. In 24 hours per day, every student needs to fit classes, preparing assignments, working till late hours to earn some extra money. And go to the gym or have a good run, because you need to stay in shape. And prepare healthy food, because your mother taught you so. And have some social life, just not too crazy. And you should sleep 8 hours per day because tomorrow you need to repeat this action all over again.
Trying to find a balance between different aspects of life students use the best solution that modern technology world can suggest them. To be exact, students found the great support in mobile apps. After about 9 years of development, apps evolved from the simple software with basic options to a huge range of mobile products for different operation systems that can actually fix almost any your problem. We prepared for you TOP-5 original apps you need for college that will make your student life little bit easier.
Let's start with studying assistant (because college is all about studying, of course).
GoConqr is a pretty useful revision app, which offers resources to create revision charts, mind maps, flashcards, notes, and quizzes. The great bonus of this app is an ability to connect and collaborate with friends, classmates or students from around the world. This one of the most popular free college apps you can find on the App Store as well.
Plan your day and classes with popular student planner app Timetable. Featuring a sharp and clean interface, this app saving your schedule, including information about exams and projects, and working as a homework organizer app. All that you need to do is type in all the data once, and Timetable will synchronize all your devices. Another interesting feature of this app is "silent mode". Your phone will never ring during lecture again – Timetable automatically turning off the sound of your device during classes.
SoundNote is popular among useful apps for students. It is a lecture capture app, acting as a notepad and audio recorder, so you can store an entire lecture in both visual and audio form. There's no need anymore to force yourself paying attention to the boring lecture. This app will do all the dirty work for you.
Stop being a persistent snoozer with Alarmy: Sleep If You Can app! Alarmy is not a simple alarm app for students with some basic features. This app requires user to complete small tasks before the alarm turns itself off. For example, you will need to take a photo of your sleeping neighbor or shake the phone up and down a number of times.
Have you ever felt a lack of motivation before going out for a run? Well, this app won't help you with this. Instead, Zombies, Run! will motivate you when jogging to run even faster. The app plays your own music playlists alongside recorded audio depicting a zombie apocalypse, in which you must run from the infected. More than a little terrifying, yes, but as a super-intense workout, it's hard to beat!
App waiting for iOS users as well on the App Store.
Try new apps from our list, share your favorite ones in comments and may full battery be with you!
