CAIRO — Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak and King Hussein of Jordan will meet in Egypt on Wednesday to formalize a joint peace proposal for Mubarak to present to President Reagan next week.
Government sources here said Hussein has already agreed privately to endorse the proposals that Mubarak has been laying out over the last few days--a view supported by announcements in Egypt's semi-official press that their meeting, in the Red Sea resort of Hurghada, will last only a few hours.
Although Mubarak's precise proposal is not totally clear, he seems to be calling for a three-stage approach to activate the Middle East peace process.
U.S., Israeli Roles
First, there would be direct dialogue between the United States and a joint Palestinian-Jordanian delegation; second, expanded talks in Cairo involving Israel and other interested parties, and third, an international conference to put its seal of approval on a final peace settlement.

Friday: A floor gets laid
After much procrastination I finally chained myself to the Laptop and completed the first draft of my Presentation. The driving force behind this sudden flurry of activity was an instant message from IM offering to review my work so I thought it a good idea to have something to review. That session went reasonably well and, although I have some work to do, I am heading in the right direction.
On the home front; Chippy Ian arrived bright and early and made a start on laying the floor boards. By the end of the day just over half the room had been finished and it is going to look fantastic on completion. Ian thinks it will be done by Monday and I will then take over and fix the skirting boards and convert the corner alcove in to a cupboard. I just hope that my carpentry skills are up to it. Ian also gave me a mission to complete over the weekend as he needs about one hundred and fifty oak plugs cutting to conceal the screws that hold the oak boards to the joists. He will also need to come back at some point to finish the installation of the fireback but his work schedule and the need to acquire vermiculite and fireproof mortar means that this will be at some yet to be defined point in the future.
Today started with the now regular trip in to Redditch to drop TP off for his voluntary duties at the Charity Shop. 30% accompanied me and we killed several birds with the same stone by combining this trip with a visit to the Super Market and other retail establishments. Key visits were the Butchers where we collected the leg of pork for the next air dried ham and the Gallery next door where, after two weeks of waiting, the half wit manager presented us with three mounts that were the wrong size. After the two week wait we were somewhat riled when he advised that he could re-cut the mounts and have then ready by lunch time…
… needless to say we took a refund and I found myself cutting the mounts later in the afternoon.
The day continued at a leisurely pace and we were joined for supper by 30%'s brother's Girlfriend who, from this point forward will simply be referred to as Emma because the relationship based descriptive is far too complicated for my liking. She had been made redundant this week and Stevie is in Madrid at the moment so she joined us for "tea and sympathy". She has taken this really positively and is already polishing up her CV and linking up with contacts to find a new position.
Sunday: Air Dried Ham - day one
It was another early start with a walk around the Three Miler with T&M whist 30% dropped TP off at the Rugby Club for pre-match practice. We then drove back to the club later to watch the match …
… it is probably best if I leave it there as they had an appalling match, played indifferently at best and got their sorry arses kicked by a very strong opposition.
After lunch I dragged the leg of pork from the fridge and started the air drying process. It is now sitting in a large plastic box, packed with 25 kg of salt and underneath a weighted board. It needs to be salted and pressed for 3 to 4 days per kilogramme of pork and at 14.5 lbs it will be the end of the month before it is ready to be washed, wrapped and hung up in the garage to dry.
I spent most of the remaining afternoon out in the garage where I was supposed to be cutting oak plugs for Ian…
… I actually found a few off cuts of oak floor boards and knocked up a picture frame instead.

I can't find any conclusive articles/technet references on what the correct (best) way to get to a Search Server Express 2010 built on top of Foundation actually is.
I know I can install Search Server directly, but does this then limit the features of the resulting "foundation" aspects? Is it better to do a full install of Foundation and then an 'upgrade' to search server 2010 express?
Any links to an actual reference would be great!

The Drive In on North Weber Street has a simple all-American vibe - it serves basic burgers and sweet soft-serve, blasts oldies on a stereo and has a tattered American flag pinned to storage shed.
For the Drive In's new owner, Bill Miller, the flag has a greater meaning: It's tattered and burned, but it survived last summer's Waldo Canyon fire. Miller salvaged it from a friend, who flew it in front of his Wickes Road home, which survived the fire.
"He was going to throw it out," Miller said. "I thought about the Waldo Canyon fire, because there are so many firefighters that come by our place, you know, it would be cool to put it up by our place. It was just one of those things on a whim."
He set it behind a large piece of Pikes Peak Glass, and attached it to a shed on The Drive In's outdoor patio. In basic red lettering he painted around it: "Flown 2012 Waldo Canyon fire, God Bless Our Firefighters."
Colorado Springs firefighters from Station 2, on East San Miguel Street a few blocks down, will stop by for a soft-serve occasionally. Some have seen the flag, others have not.
"There are several of them that bring families and they noticed it," Miller said of the flag. "They will pass little badges, you know junior firefighter badges, to the customers."
The flag is not immediately obvious - it's at the back of the business, in a dark corner with picnic benches where couples can sit out of the glare of The Drive In's lights. But last summer, from that back side, Miller could see the firestorm as it descended into Mountain Shadows on June 26, as it consumed 347 homes and killed two people. His friend on Wickes Road had been evacuated and stayed with him for eight days until residents were allowed back home to survey the damage.
The summer of Waldo was also Miller's first "season," so he says, with The Drive In. It opened in 1955, and the Waldo flag is an oddly contemporary relic from a new chapter in Colorado Springs history.
He bought the place as a retirement project, and is "trying to grow it slowly," fixing it up and improving the basic fare.
To keep the business running, Miller's trying to stick to his life's mantra, a saying he heard years ago: "The main thing is to keep the main thing, the main thing."
He painted that, in red letters, next to the flag.

I played with some more balloon shapes and arrangements this evening. This time I used some retired card stock - Concord Crush, Peach Parfait, Lucky Limeade, Not Quite Navy and Poppy Parade.
I found the easiest way to tie the strings and anchor them was to take another piece of twine and lay it under the balloon strings. Using a small piece of tape, anchor the ends below where you want to tie them. Tie the loose piece of twine around the balloon strings and make a bow. Remove the tape and use a mini glue dot to anchor the bow on the card front.
Another anniversary card. I used the Decorative Label punch for the tab with the sentiment.
On a couple of the cards I used a white gel pen to draw the strings for the balloons rather than using the twine.
Made these yummy veggies for supper tonight. Roasted Squash - zucchini, yellow squash, sweet red pepper and green onions. Topped with basil and mozzarella cheese.
Everyone else had spaghetti with the meatballs but I put some of the sauce on the roasted squash and had my meatballs on the side. Very good! Didn't miss the spaghetti or the carbs :-) The only bad thing was everyone liked the squash and there were not many leftovers. We will definitely have this again.

Hey guys, as you might know, classic Doom was never one for telling an intricate story, but for Doom: Evil Incarnate we are changing that, telling the background behind the game, and how things moved along.
The plan is to have a few cutscenes, of course, but it recently occured to me that newspapers and other media snippets might be a good way to tell the story while you're playing, so you don't have to go through the long story if you don't want to. Yes, it would only be for those who like story, while the action-only gamers will be able to ignore it and keep the gameplay as usuall. After all, there will be demons to shoot down. Also, yes, the snippets throughout will not be things that are necessary to understand your objectives or anything, they'll just feed you on background infromation that might help you understand the gameplay story and terms and make you say "Aha!"
NOTE: Previews of snippets shown here won't be finalized versions, nor are they guaranteed to be in final game
I've posted a little example now, in the images section.

News flash regarding Transfer duty reduction in South Africa.
Category Market
NEWS FLASH ON TRANSFER DUTY We want to advise all our clients of the new transfer duty rates effective for property sales concluded after 23 February 2011. The revised transfer duty table will apply to both natural persons and legal entities! On the value of the property that does not exceed R600 000: 0% On the value of property that exceeds R600 000, but not R1 000 000: 3%. On the value of property that exceeds R1 000 000, but not R1 500 000: R12 000 plus 5% on the value exceeding R1 000 000. On the value of property that exceeds R1 500 000: R37 000 plus 8% on the value that exceeds R1 500 000. A significant effect of these amendments is that it would no longer be more expensive from a transfer duty perspective to purchase property in a company or a trust as opposed to a in a natural person's name.

In May, governments committed to reduce malaria cases by 90 percent by 2030. Adam Pitt asks whether there is enough financial support for the latest round of malaria goals to be successful
There was great fanfare in July with the announcement that the first malaria vaccine had been approved by the European Medicines Agency, which followed hard on the heels of countries agreeing that they could all but eliminate malaria by 2030.
The 68th World Health Assembly Resolution on the WHO Global Technical Strategy and Targets for Malaria, which was passed in May 2015, supports ambitious plans to reduce malaria cases and deaths by 40 percent by 2020 and by 90 percent by 2030.
But while the targets are laudable, investment, including both international and domestic contributions, will need to increase substantially above current annual spending of US$2.7 billion.
"To meet the 2020 target of a 40 percent reduction in malaria cases and mortality rates, an estimated US$6.4 billion will be needed per year, and in meeting the 2030 target, we will need to raise US$8.7 billion per year," says Philippe Duneton, Deputy Executive Director of UNITAID, a global health initiative with a focus on HIV-AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria.
Funding is already the biggest obstacle in malaria eradication, limiting research for more robust antimalarial tools as well as access to existing and advanced interventions for malaria elimination.
Malaria kills 580,000 people a year (one person every minute) with an estimated 3.4 billion people–almost half the world's population– considered to be at risk of contracting the disease with transmission still reported in 97 countries. It also has a debilitating effect on economies with workers needing repeat and prolonged treatment.
"The cost of eliminating malaria by 2030 is high but the return on investment could see a potential 3 billion malaria cases averted, over 10 million lives saved, and US$4 trillion in additional economic outputs over the next 15 years," says Fatoumata Nafo-Traoré, Executive Director of the Roll Back Malaria Partnership.
The Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis, and Malaria, which is also part of the Roll Back Malaria Programme, has invested more than US$7 billion on malaria from the US$27 billion disbursed by international organisations for use in fighting AIDS, tuberculosis, and malaria endemics. In terms of funding malaria, its contributions amount to almost 50 percent of the global total. Christoph Benn, Director of External Relations at the Fund, is optimistic that the upward trajectory for malaria financing will continue.
"International funding for malaria control and elimination reached US$2.7 billion in 2013, a threefold increase since 2005 and this is a reflection of a strong commitment that has seen huge progress made in recent years," says Benn. "New advances in science and better implementation of programmes have given the global community the historic opportunity to completely remove malaria as a threat to global health."
Working with UNITAID, the Global Fund launched a US$450 million Affordable Medicines for Malaria pilot in eight African countries in 2009, which after five successful years, has been integrated into the Global Fund's financial cycles.
"In addition to UNITAID's contribution of US$210 million, the Global Fund provided US$100 million for a campaign to promote awareness about the benefits of artemisinin-based malaria treatments," says Duneton. "This was well received, and the market share of quality-assured products now exceeds 40 percent in some pilot countries. The price for quality-assured products has also been cut from US$10-15 per treatment to an average of US$1, making these potentially lifesaving drugs available to millions more people."
As well as the use of malaria nets and effective anti-malarial drugs, there has been a major change in how programmes are implemented, says Dudley Tarlton, Health and Development Programme Specialist at the United Nations Development Programme in Geneva.
"At the United Nations Development Programme we've been helping the development community see malaria not just as a health issue, but as a challenge driven to a great extent by social determinants such as housing quality, agricultural practices, infrastructure development and environmental management," says Tarlton. "By approaching malaria as a much more holistic development issue, the millions of people who are affected by living in an endemic country can be taken into consideration when planning responses to the disease that are relevant to the local environment. This includes those not directly infected."
Benn also points to the progress in malaria research making the goal of eradicating malaria more achievable with the European Medicines Agency's recommendation in July that the UK drug manufacturer GSK's new vaccine candidate, RTS,S or Mosquirix, be licensed for use by young children at risk from the mosquito-borne disease in Africa.
"The vaccine will be extremely important in Africa and Southeast Asia, where the social and economic tolls of the disease are arguably at their greatest. It is estimated that 90 percent of all deaths are in Africa, but there are also 219 million non-fatal cases, so there is much work to do," adds Tarlton.
While other vaccines tackle viruses or bacteria, RTS,S is designed to prevent malaria caused by the Plasmodium falciparum parasite, which is most prevalent in sub-Saharan Africa. The GSK research has shed light on the protein that enables the malaria parasite to invade and take over red blood cells and how it then infects the liver.
The next step for the vaccine candidate will be for the World Health Organization to formulate a policy recommendation on the use of the vaccine in national immunisation programmes. And while keen to point out that the Global Fund does not fund research, Benn welcomes the European Medicines Agency's positive scientific opinion about the vaccine but stressed that its effectiveness depends on it being used alongside a wide range of other tools to fight the disease.
"The Global Fund remains cautiously optimistic about the new RTS,S vaccine candidate," says Benn. "This could be enormously beneficial in further reducing the impact of the disease, alongside mosquito nets treated with insecticide, indoor spraying, prompt diagnostic testing, and effective anti-malarial medicines."
Further research may lead to a more effective vaccine to achieve the 2030 goals but this will depend on galvanising more funding from the donor community. Malaria is now a priority for the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, which through its multi-year malaria strategy adopted in 2013, Accelerate to Zero, is focusing its efforts on the belief that interrupting transmission is not enough, and that to achieve full eradication, new drugs and strategies must consider how the disease is biologically and ecologically different around the world. Strategies must also move beyond the clinical, to a complete parasitologic cure.
Benn agrees a more concerted effort will be needed but the goal is too important to disregard.
"Progress against the disease over the past decade demonstrates that with commitment from all involved to expand and intensify efforts, malaria can be transformed into the manageable and treatable disease that it is."

About Us
Welcome to Casa Girla! We love this area of Los Angeles, and as the name implies, Cheviot Hills is hilly--offering many of us spectacular views. When the house next door to us was listed for sale, we bought it to protect our privacy and views--all ten houses on our cul de sac are one-story and offer lovely city views. Casa Girla was in such disrepair that it was a good candidate for knocking down and building a two-story--completely changing our living experience. So we bought it and embarked on a twelve-month remodeling journey, beginning with a new roof, skylights, new kitchen, floors, landscaping, and on and on and on. And finally Casa Girla is ready for its close-up!
This is my second vacation rental property--some of you may remember my beach apartment in Santa Monica that I rented in the mid 2000's. I owned a triplex and rented out a 2-bedroom as a vacation rental. I met interesting people from all over the world and had lots of repeat guests. So that was my immediate thought when my husband and I discussed what to DO with Casa Girla, now that we owned it! As I did in Santa Monica, I've tried to create a comfortable place that's a fun and relaxing home base while you and yours explore all the wonderful offerings of Los Angeles. Cheviot Hills is a great location if you will be visiting a variety of places during your Los Angeles stay--the Beaches from Malibu to the South Bay, Disneyland, Universal Studios, Hollywood, Beverly Hills, Disney Hall--wherever your passions take you.
We like to stay in vacation rentals when we travel, and we know what is important to us. At the top of the list is cleanliness, comfort, and quiet. Privacy and a well-stocked kitchen. Comfy beds and furniture. And our number one beef--OK, 2 beefs--furniture that looks good in the pictures but is just plain uncomfortable, and poor lighting---doesn't anybody read anymore?!!
So check out our pictures, our location --and let us know if Casa Girla looks like a place you'd like to relax in.

Top Sip, Chat, & Chow Spot: L'Artusi

Leave A Comment
I always have a great time at L'Artusi- it's one of my FAVES! I also adore their sister restaurant- Dell'anima. Both are spots you must visit!!!!
The seasonal Italian menu has a few essentials and some creative dishes. I usually go with a group so we start off by sharing a few of the small to medium plates, then dive into our entrees. There are so many great things on the menu that my CHOW FAVES are going to look like I included the entire menu.
-Hamachi crudo: Thinly sliced, fresh and light.
-Roasted mushrooms with fried egg, pancetta and ricotta salata: This was such an unexpected dish. I could've eaten an entree size. The textures and flavors worked so well together.
-Potato gnocchi with chicken sugo and winter veggies: This one is quite addictive. The gnocchi was cooked to perfection, and the chicken sugo gave it such a pop!
-Tagliatelle bolognese bianco: Very good…not too heavy.
-Brussels Sprouts: It's definitely not the kind mama used to make. It tasted like fried artichokes with a twist.
-Charred octopus with potatoes, chilies, olives and pancetta: Really enjoyed this bold dish. It had great balance.
SIP: They have an extensive, mostly Italian wine list….and a good sommelier.
CHAT: This restaurant is great for any occasion- date night, girl's night out, brunch, and for celebrations (great back room on the 2nd floor).

While consumers usually prefer to have as many choices as possible when shopping, new research shows that's not always the case.
A study by two professors at Washington University in St. Louis revealed that shoppers' preference for a larger variety of selections decreases when purchasing something considered psychologically distant, such as when they have to make buying decisions that are six months away.
"The lure of assortment may not be as universal as previously thought," the study's authors, assistant marketing professors Joseph Goodman and Selin Malkoc, wrote in the research. "Consumers' preferences for large assortments can decrease due to a key psychological factor — psychological distance."
While retailers have known for decades that consumers favor large selections and are enticed by more options and greater variety, the research shows their preference changes when making decisions related to the future, like vacations, insurance or retirement planning.
"In such instances, consumers tend to focus on the end goal and less about how to get there and this leads to predictable changes in consumer behavior," Malkoc said.
[Scientists Say 'Retail Therapy' Is Real Phenomenon]
When planning a vacation that is months away, the research found shoppers would prefer to hear about fewer dining options in the city they will be visiting, than if their vacation was coming up in less than a week.
"In product categories where psychological distance is automatically evoked, it might not be necessary for retailers to offer a large and overwhelming number of options," the authors wrote in the study. "Consumers may even be attracted to those sellers offering a smaller and simpler assortment of options."
The study, "Choosing for the Here and Now vs. There and Later: The Moderating Role of Psychological Distance on Assortment Size Preference," is scheduled to appear in the December issue of the Journal of Consumer Research.

Barely a few days to the New Year, a pregnant woman died in an auto crash in Lagos while her husband, Mr Femi Ajayi, and son, Darasimi, sustained various degrees of injury. At press time, doctors were still battling to save the lives of Ajayi and his five-year-old boy, Darasimi.
It was learnt that the tragic incident occurred about 10.21p.m. on Sunday when a Nissan Pathfinder at Ikeja bus stop on Agege Motor Roadconveying the family skidded over the road and collided with a TATA bus marked Lagos AKD 21 XC on the other side of the road.
Passers-by and sympathisers rushed to the scene but before they could move close to the vehicle, the middle-aged pregnant woman had died while her husband and son were writhing in pains. It was learnt that commut-ers, men of the Lagos State Emergency Agency (LASEMA), police, LASAMBUS and men of the Federal Road Safe-ty Commission (FRSC) had a hectic time before they could remove the victims from the mangled Sport Utility Vehicle (SUV) under the truck. Speaking on the incident, the General Manager, LASEMA, Mr Michael Akindele warned motorists against over speeding. He said:
"The agency received distress call about the accident around Ikeja Along Bus Stop on the Agege Motor Road. "Investigation carried out by the agency at the scene revealed that the accident occurred when a blue jeep swerved into the Nissan causing the Nissan to skid over the road to the other side and finally hitting a TATA bus on the other side of the road.
"Unfortunately a young woman identified as Mrs Ajayi sitting in the front passenger seat died instantly while the husband identified as Femi Ajayi and a five-year-old boy, Darasimi, survived with minor injuries and were moved to the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital (LASUTH) for treatment." Akindele advised drivers against over-speeding, especially at night. He also cautioned motorists to always maintain necessary safety precautions when driving.

Jews in Early Fort Worth
L had a considerable Jewish population .... [yet] cold indifference
to affairs of a religious nature prevailed," observed Fort Worth's first
Jewish historian, Flora Weltman Schiff. Writing for Chicago's Reform
Advocate, Schiff reported that the pioneer Jews in her Texas hometown
were so irreverent, "the very mention of [worship] services would subject
one to ridicule. ... Such was the reputation of Fort Worth throughout the
State of Texas that the mere mention of the name in Jewish circles would
suggest the abandonment of all hope for the Jews of that City."'
Unlike other major Texas cities-such as Dallas, Houston, San
Antonio, Galveston, and Tyler-which had at least one synagogue and
clusters of Jewish entrepreneurs, Fort Worth, during the final decade of
the nineteenth century, had no Reform synagogue and no fraternal
B'nai B'rith lodge. In this frontier county seat, forty miles west of Dallas,
Jewish institutions were slow to develop. When they did, the pattern was
unlike most American Jewish communities where the creation of a
Hebrew cemetery came first, followed by a burial society that adminis-
tered charity, then a religious school, and ultimately a congregation.

Hi Karen! I love this posting with your grandson and his uber chic Mr. Potato Head specs! What a cute picture. I am so glad that you adopted those books! To me there is no replacement for having information in book form. I love the net, but I love the feel of paper in my hands it never needs recharging! I find many out of print books on minis at the local thrift stores and I snap them up whenever I can. Some of the finished projects are outdated but the ideas can always be up-graded and give you a good kick start. It seems that You have scooped up enough to keep you going for quite a while Karen, so enjoy and have fun!ReplyDelete

Erich Murphy's Sez MEE column
Although the jury may be out for the long run, in the early going it appears the kids can play.
The kids, in this case, are Junior Lake of the Chicago Cubs and Kyle Long of the Bears. We already know that Jonathan Toews and Patrick Kane can play.
Don Pompei of the Chicago Tribune wrote an article the other day that showcased Long, the son of hall of fame football player-turned-sportscaster Howie Long.
Long has apparently been impressive in the early going of preseason work. In four days at camp, he has shown off his strength and some agility. What he is looking for is increased work to gain experience.
According to Pompei, Long has been working out at right guard. That is a key position from the standpoint that the run game tends to go right. Pass blocking will be of concern but he will be protecting quarterback Jay Cutler's visual side.
However, it is hard to say what will happen if Jermon Bushrod, the left tackle, is out for any extended period of time. Bushrod, acquired as a free agent from New Orleans, was injured earlier this week.
If Bushrod is gone for a period of time, Long may get a shot at right guard or could be moved to left guard, which means he will be somewhat responsible for protecting Cutler's blindside.
The line has been a concern for the Bears for some time, and maybe they got someone to help solidify the protective wall in front of the quarterback?
Junior Lake has been playing well for the Cubs in his first two weeks in the Majors. Heading into Tuesday's doubleheader with Milwaukee, Lake was hitting better than .360 with a couple of homers.
The Cubs have made some deals of late in an effort to get rid of dead weight and help build for the future.
Lake appears to be one of the up-and-comers that could help the Cubs become a contender in the near future.
Cubbie fans are still looking for a good closer and more offense, but the pitching seems to be pretty good and anchored by youth.
A player like Lake could help make the offense stronger for a long time. The deals of late that have seen the likes of Alfonso Soriano and Matt Garza leave may be bringing in young talent that will develop and make, dare I say, the Cubs winners.
The Blackhawks have been building what may become a dynasty with Toews and Kane as the foundation.
Both are young — Toews, who was the youngest captain in the NHL when named a couple of years ago, is 24 and Kane is 23 — and under contract for some time to come.
As members of the Blackhawks, they have been integral parts of two Stanley Cup championships (that is so cool to say that).
By getting into fray at such a young age, Toews and Kane have gained experience, matured and are lynchpins to what may become a string of Stanley Cup championships.
Long known as the Second City because of its relationship with New York, Chicago is looking at becoming a capital city in the sports world with the young talent making its way to the top.
Now, if only we can get the national media to take a closer look at the greatest city in the country.

Into the Woods it the cherished Stephen Sondheim musical that will receive a film adaptation this Christmas and said film is already being considered an Oscar-bound production. The movie features an all-star cast of award-winning actors notable on both stage and screen, a definitive example for the awards buzz.
Oscar talk began when the first teaser trailer for the film was released at the end of July. The hubbub has now continued as it has been announced that the role of The Witch, played by Meryl Streep will be submitted as a Best Supporting Actress contender while Emily Blunt's role of The Baker's Wife will undergo consideration for the Best Leading Actress category. Disney made the official announcement of the potential awards categories on Oct. 4.
The remaining players rounding out the cast include renown character actor Johnny Depp as The Wolf, young Broadway actress Lilla Crawford as Little Red Riding Hood, Pitch Perfect star Anna Kendrick as Cinderella, Star Trek's Chris Pine as Cinderella's Prince, stage actress Mackenzie Mauzy portraying Rapunzel, additional Broadway performer Billy Magnussen playing Rapunzel's Prince, The Good Wife's Christine Baranski will play Cinderella's Stepmother, The Les Misérables film's Daniel Huttlestone as Jack, comedian Tracey Ullman as his Mother and Tony winner James Corden as The Baker. The astoundingly talented company provides a beautiful platform for all kinds of awards.
To top off the killer group of actors, accomplished director Rob Marshall will helm the Into the Woods film. Marshall was nominated for a Best Director Oscar in 2002 for his film adaptation of the hit Broadway musical Chicago. Marshall also directed the movie musical Nine starring another A-List cast including Daniel Day-Lewis and Nicole Kidman. Perhaps the third time will be a charm for Marshall in grabbing that golden trophy for taking the reigns on a movie musical.
As many cast members of Into the Woods have begun attending talk shows and undergone other interviews for recent projects, they are often questioned about their experience with the film. Actors like Chris Pine have made statements in regards to the beauty that is displayed in the film. His comments on beauty reportedly reflect that of the visual appearance of the cinematography as well as the captivating performances the cast is giving of the beloved material.
Into the Woods is loosely based on many of the classic Grimm fairy tales, but it is not to be mistaken as material solely for children. The show has many adult themes and lessons throughout its narrative that ground the production in a deeper and far darker emotional gravitas than one would originally think. As a multi-Tony-award-winning production that has been revived on Broadway and performed throughout the world on thousands of stages, one must take to heart that this is no ordinary fairy tale.
If the Into the Woods film is already considered Oscar-bound, it would most certainly not come as a surprise. The beautiful score by Sondheim and the heartfelt book by James Lapine are works of art that audiences rarely experience in the movies anymore. As the world awaits the film's release, one can only hope the morals displayed within the story can be taken to heart and spread abundantly to make the world that much better of a place. Into the Woods will release in theaters worldwide on Christmas Day.

Ensenada, Mexico — THIS is not the place where you expect to find a wine country. You're racing along Highway 3, after all, the road that links Tecate to the coast. And when was the last time you connected Ensenada and wine, anyway? Tecate? Isn't that beer country?
But here you are, on a spectacular drive through hilly vistas studded with huge boulders. You're passing ranches and stands that sell locally produced honey and dates, fava beans, chorizo, cheese and olive oil. There's even an ostrich farm -- the word on the sign is avestruz.
And then you're at Kilometer 86.5, at the ranch called El Mogor, where winemaker Antonio Badan lives.
Badan is among a small group of serious vintners transforming the Valle de Guadalupe, or Guadalupe Valley. Not so long ago, this was a sleepy agricultural area. There were some wines, but none of them memorable. Now, small-scale winemakers from Mexico, Europe and Chile have moved in, improved the vineyards and begun to compete with the world's best. They have the right climate: hot summer days tempered by ocean breezes and cool nights. And the vineyards are filled with almost every grape on the planet: Cabernet, Zinfandel, Nebbiolo, Chardonnay, Chasselas, Syrah -- all, and more, are being grown here.

The following three cards are inspired by and made with Stampin Up products, the only exception is the doily on the butterfly card, I have used up all my paper doilies and have no intention of buying more since I have so many beautiful doily dies. The die I used is a Cheery Lyn die.
For the first card I used Stampin Up River Rock card stock cut to A5 scored and folded in half. the SU Whisper White was cut to 6cm wide x 14.4cm long. The stamps used are from Stampin Up Faith in Nature, and Pretty Postage.
The ribbon is 2/8" wide and match the inks which are Tangerine Tango, Island Indigo and Pool Party.
The Second card is the butterfly card and only the doily is not Stampin Up. for the doily I used a Cheery Lyn die and greaseproof paper, the kind you use in the kitchen. (You can easily cut 4 layers of this paper with the die at a time).
The colours used are for the base card is Pool Party, cut to A5, scored and folded in half. I then punched out a butterfly from scrap card and used this as a template to sponge Pool Party ink directly onto the base card. The sentiment stamp is from Heard from the Heart set and is stamped with Basic Grey ink. I cut two butterflies out of plain card stock, 1 from Raspberry Ripple and 1 from Summer Starfruit. The other 3 butterflies are punched from DSP Sycamore Street. The strip of DSP paper over the doily is from the same pack. both the doily and pennant are sewn onto the base card with white thread. I finished by adding self adhesive gems to the butterfly bodies.
The strips measure 1" x 3 3/4", on the reverse I marked the 1/2" point along the length, then measured in 5/8" in from each end, then cut from each corner to that 5/8" mark along the 1/2" line, giving nice even triangles at each end.
These were embossed with Vine Street Textured Impressions embossing folder, these are flat mounted to the base card and the squares were mounted using dimensionals.
All three of these cards are very quick and easy to make, perfect for the beginner card maker which is why I'll be using them as samples in my next class.
Thank you for visiting my blog today, I hope you found something you liked and maybe a little inspiration if your mojo has gone on holiday.

MASSENA -- Mrs. Mary Richey, aged 94, peacefully passed away in her sleep early Friday, December 29, 2017 at Maplewood Campus in Canton.
Mary was born 21 March 1923 in Mezőkövesd, Hungary, to Gaspar and Mary Adam Farkas. In 1932 her father Gaspar immigrated to Canada in the hopes of making a better life for his family. He traveled the country by rail searching for a place to call home and eventually settled in Cornwall, Ontario. The remainder of the family, his wife, young Mary and brother Gaspar, then made the arduous journey by rail through Europe and across the Atlantic by ship, to join him in 1933.
Mary attended French school where she became fluent in French, as well as English, and often translated for the Hungarian community in Cornwall.
In late 1942 she met Floyd Richey from Massena and they were married in 1943, just before he shipped out to Europe as a member of the 45th Infantry. She lived with his family in Massena until his return in 1946, and at that time they made their permanent home in Massena. She took an active role in the various family businesses, including a grocery store, radio & TV repair shop, and a mobile home sales and service. Upon Floyd's death in 2010, Mary moved to Maplewood in Canton where she made many friends and was very happy. She enjoyed the musical productions at Maplewood and playing Bingo, and loved old movies (Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers were great favorites).
Mary was well known for her baking and cooking skills: her cookies and pies were legendary. She loved to dance, enjoyed swimming, and spent many happy hours gardening. Her stories of growing-up in Hungary and Cornwall were told and retold. In 2000, she returned to Hungary to visit family and friends, and declared it one of the highlights of her life.
She was predeceased by her parents, her brother Gaspar, and her husband Floyd. She is survived by her children: Tom and Eileen Richey of Fort Worth, Texas; Patsi and Loren Siddon of Massena; Jeanne and Jerry Rice of Evansville, Indiana; John and Anne Richey of Canton; and Lorie and Keith MacKenzie of Massena; 10 grandchildren and 7 great-grandchildren, several nieces and nephews in the US and Canada, as well as relatives who remained in Hungary.
A private memorial service and interment will be in the spring.
Memorial gifts may be made to the Maplewood Campus Activity Fund, 205 State Street Road, Canton, New York 13617.
Arrangements are with Donaldson Funeral Home in Massena, where memories and condolences may be shared online at www.donaldsonfh.com.

In my sophomore year of college, I went to my first Halloween sorority/fraternity party.
Yes, I was in a sorority in college. Someday I'll tell you the adorable story about how Even Steven was president of his fraternity, and I was president of my sorority. Oh – I guess I just did. The end.
Anyway – my sophomore year Halloween fraternity party.
Can you guess which person is me?
How was I supposed to know that a Halloween party with a fraternity was an excuse to look super cute?
|Image Credit
Mean Girls hadn't even been filmed yet – Lindsay Lohan was still just a baby. Seriously – how was I supposed to know?
While everyone else had fun at the party, I was the scary outcast. My sorority sisters thought I was a really creepy fraternity guy trying to talk to them.
And the fraternity guys thought I was a townie trying to crash their party.
What were some of your most memorable Halloween costumes?

Monroe's "Open Door" policy, set forth in Volume 1 of the magazine, remains the most succinct statement of Poetry's mission: to print the best poetry written today, in whatever style, genre or approach. The magazine established its reputation early by publishing the first important poems of T.S. Eliot, Ezra Pound, Marianne Moore, Wallace Stevens, H.D., William Carlos Williams, Carl Sandburg and other now-classic authors. In succeeding decades it has presented—often for the first time—works by virtually every major contemporary poet.

|The number of Buika's fans in Turkey has been growing every day since her first ever concert appearance in İstanbul in 2009, and her albums are now among the bestsellers.
Buika is surely a rising star, not only in Turkey but all around the world. Her 2009 album "El Último Trago" brought her a Latin Grammy in 2010, and the Afro-Spanish singer is already a brand name with her flamenco and jazz-flavored tunes as well as her international collaborations with superstars such as Seal and Nelly Furtado.
Next week the songstress will again be in town for a live performance of songs from "El Último Trago," an homage to Mexican singer Chavela Vargas, at the Cemal Reşit Rey (CRR) Concert Hall in Harbiye. Ahead of her eagerly anticipated Feb. 4 appearance, Buika speaks to Today's Zaman about her music and her future plans:
You were a Tina Turner impersonator in Las Vegas a decade ago, but now you are an international star. Did you expect this amount of success back then?
No, I never cared about having international fame or anything. I had great times in Las Vegas and I was very happy. I have been singing since I was 16 and I feel like whatever I have right now is a miracle; but I never dreamt about it. I have always believed in singing and I remember forgetting about the world when I was on stage. You have to accept whatever you live and I have always been happy with the things life brought me.
What about returning to the US last October for your first extended tour in North America? Can we say your dreams came true?
My dreams are really far beyond that, but if you believe in what you do, sooner or later your dreams come true. My dream is the sound; my dream is not about album sales or Grammy Awards. I dream about beautiful songs belonging to me.
You never like to categorize your music, but after collaborating with pop stars such as Nelly Furtado and Seal, do you envisage yourself as a pop star in the future?
Sometimes I watch the videos or stage shows of pop stars and I realize all the work they perform is really difficult. I can't imagine myself jumping on a stage and singing, or doing acrobatic movements when dancing on a stage on fire. Think about Michael Jackson dancing or Madonna's shows. All the dancers, lights, fire and amazing energy are unbelievable. But sometimes you can see the same energy and fire behind a single piano with a beautiful song without all those visuals. You can feel the same amazing energy with a song with feelings of loneliness or love.
Once you also worked with famous DJ David Vendetta. Do you feel any closer to electronic music?
Actually, I can easily say that I indeed love electronic music. Moreover, I have been working on some new electronic tunes since last summer and they are almost done. But for now it's still a secret between my manager Mariana and me. I am going to come up with new dance tunes as a surprise.
After the enormous success of "El Último Trago," have you had a chance to talk to Chavela Vargas, to whom you dedicated the album?
When I first met Chavela Vargas I was very excited and when she asked me to sing, I was shaking. And she immediately felt that. But later we became friends. We have been calling each other at least once a week since we met. She was so happy when I received the awards. I am going to visit Mexico this March and I am going to give my Latin Grammy to her. I received those awards singing her songs, and I feel like they actually belong to her, not me.
You grew up listening to your mother singing Guinean folk songs. What about your son, what do you sing to him and does he love your songs?
I have been taking him together with me to my live performances since he was a little baby. He grew up listening to my songs backstage while I was onstage. Joel is 11 years old now and he already plays the guitar. When he started learning to play guitar we were practicing together and we had a lot of fun together. He is better than me at understanding today's technology and he even helps me a lot in the studio.
You mention Billie Holiday, Bonnie Raitt and Nina Simone as singers who influenced your style. What about today's music scene, who are the most powerful female singers of the pop scene?
The names you mention still influence me a lot. My ear is in my heart and every singer who sings from the heart influences me for sure. Honestly, I am always impressed by young singers' performances before thousands of people. When a 25-year-old singer performs before thousands of people, it feels so magical and any singer who can make us experience this is obviously very powerful, even more powerful than any politician.
How do you feel about the Turkish audience?
It makes me so excited and I really feel very happy when I hear news about Turkey from [the artist management company] Pasion Turca. On the other hand, the idea of giving your heart to someone else scares me whether he or she is a singer or a loved one. We need our hearts. If we can love ourselves, we can feel happier. When I sing for the audience in Turkey, I want them to listen to themselves and their feelings, not me.
Spanish producer-songwriter Javier Limon says what you do is "drink from many sources." What about love as an inspiration?
Love is the inspiration. It doesn't need decoration or presentation. Love is a unique inspiration in this world and inspiration is in you. But saving all the energy for yourself is the only way of success. You are the one to trust in. You have to recognize your instruments and you have to follow your own ideas. Creation comes when you love what you see in the mirror, and when you enjoy your loneliness.
Any upcoming movie projects?
I am not a good actress at all, but my brother Robacho has already come up with a story using one of my poems and directed a movie. He is 31 years old and he is really a talented director. There are four actors in the movie and it's pretty interesting. "From Loneliness to Hell" is the title of the movie and my poem somehow inspired the movie.
You will be performing in İstanbul one more time on Feb. 4. How do you feel about İstanbul?
İstanbul feels like the miracle of time. I know it progressed a lot in the past 10 years as a city, but you can still feel tradition in the streets. Progression kills tradition in almost every big city in the world, but you experience both the past and the present at the same time [in İstanbul]. Its connection with the past feels very magical.

En un escenario, que consta de diversas plataformas, un grupo de negros celebra un ritual, a manera de funeral, ante un catafalco cubierto con un paño blanco. Cinco de ellos, negros también, cubren sus rostros con máscaras blancas que representan los poderes de cualquier Estado Colonial: la Reina, su Valet, el Gobernador, el misionero y el Juez. Sus indumentarias son una burda imitación de los trajes que acostumbran a llevar las jerarquías que representan la cada uno de los representantes de la cultura Occidental.

El trabajo fue editado en más de veinte países. "El material se grabó en Cuba, con todos los músicos juntos.

Arrival is cinema I crave – a thought-provoking, somber yet stylish, and thoroughly cerebral piece of storytelling within one of my favorite milieus, and produced independently of the major studios, thus feeling resolutely unconcerned with satisfying endless rounds of notes and enduring creative compromises that could have potentially sabotaged the crux of the piece as well as the emotional wallop it delivers well after the fade to black. Telling a legitimate story about actual people rather than CGI/spandex superheroes, the writing favors pragmatic decision-making and reactions, instead of going for the bombastic or over the top. The filmmakers have concocted a narrative that weaves a scholarly sense of linguistics into its eerie, otherworldly implications, which makes the film stand out even more. Hot-shot director Denis Villeneuve (Incendies, Prisoners, Enemy, Sicario, the upcoming Blade Runner 2049) and genre specialist screenwriter Eric Heisserer (this past summer's surprise horror hit Lights Out) have retooled the original short story by author Ted Chiang into an intelligent science fiction tale that not only intelligently explores what first contact with an extraterrestrial species would most likely resemble, but also contains a full dose of the mind-bending and unexpected.
I wouldn't dream of spoiling anything about this film, as it was my top choice to see for the rest of the year, but I will state that my seriously inflated expectations were easily met if not surpassed. The brilliant Amy Adams (one of my favorite on-screen talents) plays an emotionally guarded college professor reeling from the death of her young child and separation from her husband. She's a master of various languages, someone who can decipher various dialects at a moment's notice, so it's only natural that she gets recruited by the government in an effort to communicate with some recently landed aliens. They've arrived in 12 seemingly random spots on Earth, in oval-shaped hovering monoliths that sit just above the ground (or water), with a door opening every 18 hours so that teams of scientists can attempt to speak with the ship's occupants. Jeremy Renner is sly and compelling as always as Adams' tack-sharp sidekick, Forest Whitaker turned in reliably strong work as a top military commander, and Michael Stuhlbarg brought just the right amount of realistic hostility that a stressed out CIA agent might be projecting during a once-in-a-lifetime situation such as this.
Heisserer's script perfectly balanced the need for the audience to connect with Adams' psychologically fraught character as well as our demand for something new and exciting, and because Villeneuve is such a strong image maker with a tremendous feel for mood, texture, and atmosphere, every shot inside the ship is goose-bump inducing and always photo real. The film has been given a smoky and full-bodied visual sheen by rising star cinematographer Bradford Young (A Most Violent Year, Selma, Pawn Sacrifice), who has an absolutely tremendous eye behind the camera. The creepy, almost mournful score by Johann Johannsson feels oh-so-right in every single moment, both big and small, while the final act really sticks the landing, offering up visceral excitement which feeds into the story rather than overtaking it with needless special effects. The cold and mysterious alien ships provide adequate menace and ample intrigue, with some fantastic special effects work employed in a few key sequences; the less you know going in about the specifics the more fun this trip will be.
Villeneuve has been a director-on-fire of late, tackling various genres and injecting all of his work with the same sense of smarts and polish that Christopher Nolan brings to the table; he's ready to bust out at the seams and I have a feeling that Blade Runner 2049 is going to turn heads. Arrival certainly feels spiritually connected, to some degree, to Nolan's magnum opus Interstellar. Less overtly showy than Nolan's exquisite cosmic journey so as a result more subtle and nuanced, Arrival instead has been designed to consistently upend most of your expectations; not only do the final moments send you out of the theater still trying to fully process everything that you've just seen, but it's all been crafted with a sense of quiet elegance, both in Heisserer's emotionally involving dialogue and Villeneuve's sublime sense of visual aesthetics. Arrival is the movie I've been waiting to see for a long time, a thoughtful meditation on first contact that never forgets the human element at its core, uninterested in blowing stuff up just because it can, as fascinated by the unknown as it is rooted in something universal and important.

Stratford residents: We can help you "choose how you move"!
May 22, 2013
A team of Travel Advisors will be out and about in Stratford-upon-Avon over the next few weeks, helping people make the right travel choices to save them money, time and help keep active.
The Travel Advisors are part of Warwickshire County Council's "Choose How You Move" initiative, which is all about encouraging people to choose more sustainable and healthy ways to travel.
They will be motivating Stratford residents to re-evaluate their travel choices, focusing their efforts on areas of the town that have the highest car usage and are home to those that tend to have the longest commute to work. Read more of this post

In late February 2000, city officials were planning the rebuilding of the legendary Stax recording studio in South Memphis. In conjunction with that plan, the city hoped to revitalize the blighted neighborhood surrounding the old Stax site at McLemore and College.
In the February 24, 2000, issue, writer Chris Davis issued a call to artists in his "Artists Sought for Soulsville Gateway Project" story: "The plan is to create a series of murals (though other art forms may be considered) that will reflect the 'Soulsville' neighborhood's unique history."
The project was headed by the UrbanArt Commission. Murals were planned for the neighborhood's four gateways: the railroad trestles on Bellevue, north of Severson; a trestle on Mississippi Boulevard near Booker T. Washington High School; an area of Porter Street near LeMoyne Gardens; and the overpass at Walker near LeMoyne-Owen College.
Eventually, artist Arnold Thompson was selected for the project. Thompson created a mural — featuring Warhol-esque portraits of Isaac Hayes, Aretha Franklin, and other Stax stars — on the retaining walls under the railroad trestle on Bellevue.
But the UrbanArt Commission was unable to raise enough funds to cover the other three murals, and according to project manager Elizabeth Alley, the commission was unable to get permission to paint on some of the other railroad properties.
Said Alley: "If we were ever able to revisit that project, I think we would, since the neighborhood has changed so much over the years."

Travelocity.com and Preview Travel to Merge
Sabre Holdings Corporation (NYSE:TSG) and Preview Travel, Inc. (Nasdaq:PTVL) today announced the creation of a new company that combines Sabre's Travelocity.com division with Preview Travel. The transaction creates the clear leader in online travel, a new company that will be known as Travelocity.com. Sabre will retain 70 percent ownership of the new company with the remaining 30 percent owned by Preview Travel stockholders. The new company will benefit from a new, five-year contract with America Online, Inc. that makes Travelocity.com the exclusive reservations engine for all travel-related services within the AOL service, AOL.COM, CompuServe, Digital City and Netscape, and provides Travelocity.com with a share of specified travel-related advertising revenues. In addition, Yahoo! Inc. has extended its existing contract with Travelocity.com and has agreed to invest in the new entity.
The merger creates a new powerhouse in the online travel market, the largest retail e-commerce category, projected to grow from $7.8 billion in 1999 to $32.1 billion by 2004.(2) The new, combined company will have more than 17 million registered memberships and more than eight million unique monthly visitors—making it 50 percent larger than the next largest online travel agency site.(3) Travelocity.com will have established distribution relationships with America Online/Netscape, Yahoo!, Lycos, Go Network, Excite, @Home and CompuServe, among other leading Internet sites. Combined travel sales for the two companies in the first half of 1999 totaled more than $467 million. The new company is projected to be the third largest e-commerce site after Amazon.com and eBay4, and one of the top ten travel agencies based on 1999 booking estimates.(5)
At the close of the transaction, the combined business will be headquartered in Fort Worth, Texas, with a significant operating presence in San Francisco. Terrell B. Jones, president of Travelocity.com, will be the president and chief executive officer of the new company. Donald J. Carty, chairman of Sabre Inc., will serve as chairman of the board until a new Sabre chief executive officer is named. James Hornthal, founder and chairman of Preview Travel, Inc., will serve as vice chairman.
"The new Travelocity.com will bring together the very best of Travelocity and Preview Travel—two successful and talented organizations—to create an unparalleled combination of content and innovative services to online consumers," Terrell B. Jones said. "We've long admired the Preview Travel site for the experience it provides consumers. Going forward, as the leader in online travel, our focus will continue to be on providing the best shopping opportunities and customer support available anywhere—online or offline."
"Bringing together the innovative technology solutions of Sabre's Travelocity.com with Preview Travel's effective integration of content, community, commerce and world-class customer service will benefit our customers and our partners," James Hornthal said. "We expect the additional scale that we will achieve throughout the enterprise to translate into long-term consumer and stockholder value."
At close of the merger transaction between Travelocity and Preview Travel, Travelocity.com will have a new five-year agreement with America Online. Under the new deal, the new Travelocity.com will be the exclusive reservations engine for all travel-related services within the AOL service, AOL.COM, CompuServe, Digital City and Netscape. The AOL agreement will allow users to access the same set of travel reservations services from each of these AOL brands, providing a consistent and seamless experience from multiple access points. The agreement also calls for a unique revenue sharing structure designed to reward both companies based on the success of their trend-setting partnership. AOL will share in commissions on travel sales and Travelocity.com will share in advertising revenue.
Sabre also announced that it has agreed on terms with Yahoo! Inc. for an extension of the existing contract, strengthening the relationship between Travelocity.com and Yahoo! Travel, Yahoo!'s comprehensive resource for researching, planning and booking travel. The agreement will be contributed to the new Travelocity.com as part of the merger. Yahoo! has also agreed to make a minority investment in the new company, demonstrating additional support of the ongoing relationship with Travelocity.com.
Sabre will contribute the assets of Travelocity.com plus $50 million in cash in exchange for 70 percent ownership in the new company, formed as a Delaware limited partnership. Current Preview Travel stockholders will hold 30 percent of the combined entity through a new corporate entity, Travelocity.com Inc. At the close of this transaction, Preview Travel shares will convert 1:1 into shares of the new company, and Travelocity.com Inc. will trade under the symbol TVLY on the Nasdaq National Market System.
The merger has been approved by both Sabre and Preview Travel boards of directors, and is expected to close in first quarter 2000. The transaction is subject to regulatory approval, customary closing conditions and requires approval by Preview Travel's stockholders.
Preview Travel was advised by Hambrecht and Quist on the transaction, while Sabre was advised by Goldman Sachs & Co.
"We have been committed to unlocking the value of Travelocity.com for Sabre's shareholders," said Donald Carty, chairman of Sabre Inc. "Through the new ownership structure, we've created a pure Internet play in which our shareholders will own a majority stake of the third largest e-commerce site. In addition, this transaction provides Travelocity.com with access to Internet currency, and at the same time preserves the product development synergies that exist between Travelocity.com and Sabre."
Once the two sites are fully integrated, the new Travelocity.com will use the Sabre computer reservations system, strengthening Sabre as the largest processor of travel transactions on the Internet and the leader in all other channels of travel distribution. Sabre will consolidate the financial results of the new company into its own financial reporting and will continue to trade under the symbol TSG on the New York Stock Exchange. AMR's majority-ownership of Sabre is unaffected by this transaction.
"Consolidation in growing markets is inevitable. The drive to achieve global scale is incredibly compelling for us and our strategic marketing partners," said Chris Clouser, president and chief executive officer of Preview Travel, Inc. "By combining resources with Travelocity, we are able to help write the next chapter in online travel. We expect our clear leadership position will pay important dividends, now and in the future, for our customers, employees and shareholders."

I've spoken about this before but nothing prepared me for Omega Beam Fried Batman.
This post is a bit late, coming to the party. The cynical among you would diss this as just another publicity attempt and that Bats would "return from the dead" soon enough.
To that, I say… "Bah"
We already know that Bats (version: Bruce Wayne) is not dead from the final pages of Final Crisis. But this doesn't stop DC from dishing out a plethora of "Life after Batman" stories.
Unlike the publicity stunt that was Death of Superman, the follow up stories to the death of the Bat were surprisingly good. The ongoing "Battle of the Cowl" series brilliantly highlighted many of the bits characters of the Bat-verse fighting it out to see who would be the next Batman.
Of course, special mention goes to "Whatever happened to the Caped Crusader" by, who else, Neil Gaiman.
I got the comics a few weeks ago. I had to visit 3 comics shop before being able to acquire Part 2 and Part 1 of the tale… at a cut throat price. I had to do it all with a ranting Girlfriend in tow.
So, the question to ask is… Was it worth it?
To be honest I bought the books based solely on the brand name of Neil Gaiman.
I am a Blind Fan.
And to be even more honest, I kinda hated the books on the first reading. It felt like Neil Gaiman was trying to outweird Grant Morrison, who, of course was the guy responsible for the death of Batman in the first place. (Check out: Batman: R.I.P. and Final Crisis for more information)
Grant Morrison is weird. Grant Morrison has a HUGE fan base from him being weird. Reading a Grant Morrison story is like trying to ride a roller coaster through the House of Mirrors while ingesting copious amounts of Magic Mushrooms.
I don't like Grant Morrison.
Neil Gaiman, on the other hand, Neil Gaiman wrote the Sandman, for goodness sake. I simply cannot believe that he weird write just for weird writing's sake. I had to assume he was doing a "Game of You" again. "Game of You", for the uninitiated is one of the Sandman collection featuring Barbie (yup, actual name and not the doll) and her adventures into her dreamland. The story features a talking cockatoo, a man with a chestful of blackbirds (chest as in breast and not the wooden variety) and witches traveling by way of menses.
Hated the story the first time. Loved it on re-reading.
So I dug out "Whatever happened to the Caped Crusader" again today to give it a second reading.
Ok. Even on the second reading, I wouldn't say it is a story that would live on through the ages.
But it's starting to read good.
You start to appreciate how the various eras of Batman is represented in the stories.
You'll appreciate the "Dream" leimotiff (fancy french word for snails) that Gaiman has since the start of his career.
You'll see how Gaiman used the various short stories scattered in the series to showcase different aspects of the Batman myth. It's almost like Neil Gaiman's love letter to Batman.
There is even a central message through the whole story. A message of "At the end of the day, it doesn't matter how you die. People will always remember you for something. And that something depends on how you lived your life. On your part, you just die at the end of the day."
I kinda like that.
