Science, Nutrition, & Health Questions Answered! Cutting through the crap one question at a time.
Wednesday, November 3, 2010
Do "cleanse" diets detoxify your body and/or help with weight loss?
Also known as the "Lemonade Diet," the "Maple Syrup Diet," and the "Master Cleanse," this diet entails several days or more (up to 10 days!) of consuming nothing but a lemon juice, maple syrup, cayenne pepper concoction. On an episode of The Office, a company-wide weight loss competition spurs Kelly to consume only this drink for several days. Eventually, sweaty and lethargic, she collapses in her cube, and her panicked co-workers don't know what to do! The idea behind this diet is to "cleanse" your body of toxins and "rest" your digestive system. It is also supposed to jump start weight loss. This diet is extremely low in calories, and devoid of protein, fat, complex carbs, and nearly all the essential vitamins and minerals. If you stick with it for several days, you will undoubtedly lose weight from the extreme calorie deprivation. However, your body will also go into starvation mode, your metabolism will slow down to preserve your body's energy stores, and the moment you go back to eating solid food you will gain weight due to your slowed metabolism. There are no special magic nutrients in these ingredients - lemon juice has vitamin C and cayenne pepper has capsaicin, but neither of these will especially detoxify your body or "rest" your digestive system. Your body is really good at cleansing itself: your liver, kidneys, and spleen are all full-time body cleansers, and they don't need you interfering with their normal function. Saying your digestive system needs a rest is like saying your "heart needs a rest" and should stop beating for a while (and you die). You need protein, carbs, fat, and vitamins everyday - and this cleanse diet will just screw up your metabolism and deprive your body of essential nutrients. If you want to feel healthier and naturally cleanse your body, cut out all junk food from your diet (fast food, pop, candy, Little Debbie snacks, chips, anything processed), eat more fruits, vegetables, and fiber, and drink some extra water and maybe some nice green tea. The cleanse diet is touted on lots of websites and blogs as a great thing to do - but this is all quack science and they just prey on people's desperation to be healthy and lose weight. Don't believe the hype - this is all bogus and a bunch of crap. The Science Lady cannot make this point enough - the cleanse diet is dangerous, bad for you, doesn't cleanse anything, and only makes losing weight harder in the long run!

I'm digging this story. I was surprised by the first issue and I think a lot of other readers were as well. This second issue doesn't exactly take off running, but it certainly continues to lay a solid foundation for what looks to be a rather complex story. There are elements introduced in this issue that you won't see coming and they only made me want to read more of The Last Broadcast. Don't let the opening of this issue scare you, we don't have the context to understand it yet. It's there to plant seeds for the rest of the story and to make you ask questions, just make sure you're paying attention for when the answers are given later on. After the shock opening we pick up back in the hospital room with Ivan and the nurse that is so totally not a nurse. She's wearing a classic black dress and we discover her name is Ella. They chat for a few as Ivan asks how she knew he was a magician and gives him some of the things they found on him when he was brought in, including a tape recorder.
After Ella leaves, Ivan begins listening to one of the tapes to piece together the events that led him to the hospital bed. It's very clever because it jumps the story ahead slightly, but fills the reader in at the same time. We know that Dmitri is "missing" and this sent Ivan on a path to find him and figure out the pictures that were sent to him pertaining to Blackhall.
Ivan ends up at a rare books bookstore and the owner is a loon. He shouts out something about Conan Doyle being a fanatic rather than greeting Ivan like a normal person. Ivan asks if he's seen Dimitri and the dude seems to be living in his own world. Ivan shows him the picture and the old man smiles. He finds a water mark of sorts on the picture and prints it off for Ivan. He also gives him a random book that he was babbling about that Doyle apparently wrote that unlocks the secret returning to life after death.
Afterwards he sees a hooded figure wearing the watermarked image on their hoodie and begins chasing them. He loses them right outside of a door that bears the same mark.
Well I'll definitely be finishing this series now. I didn't even need the cliffhanger at the end, but it was pretty cool. Andre Sirangelo has taken care to make sure that this graphic novel could stand alone as individual chapters. This issue stands on its own for sure and continues the story from the first chapter. We get a better idea of the characters in this issue which balances the thrill and story setup from the first issue. The pacing is steady and I really hope that it doesn't change because the story is rewarding and yet over in nothing flat. I couldn't tell you how long it took me to read it, but I didn't feel cheated by pages like other comics.
There's no denying that the art is playing a huge role in the success of this series. Artist Gabriel Iumazark has Ashley Wood qualities to his art, but then almost an anime flair as well. Ivan and other male characters in the story have effeminate designs, but it works with the rest of the world. In a strange way it makes Ivan look younger than the other male characters which I think plays into the story.
The mystery of this series is what will keep most people coming back and that's certainly the most interesting aspect of the story. I have high hopes that it'll finish strong, but if you haven't even begun reading then get on it. It's not sold out so you should be able to request it from your comic shop at the very least or you can always go the digital option. For me it's becoming one of my favorite books to follow and it's a pleasant reminder of the quality of titles that Archaia has been known for. I'm not seeing a lot new Archaia books coming down the pipeline, but there is a vibe and quality to them that is solely their own. Hopefully this gives the imprint a much-needed boost.
Score: 4/5
Writer: Andre Sirangelo Artist: Gabriel Iumazark Publisher: Archaia/Boom Price: $3.99 Release Date: 6/18/14 Format: Mini-Series/OGN, Print/Digital

Welcome to this website. Why 'being sixty….'? One reason is we are sixty and don't believe it. Until very recently, to each of us sixty was old. Maybe even ancient. Now, we can do the maths, subtracting one calendar year from another, and we know that logically, and mathematically, we have reached sixty, or more. But we still don't believe it! In our heads we are really just teenagers. Sure, some things may take a little longer, but we can still do them. And do!
So this website is really a celebration. On being sixty. Tell us about the things that being sixty means to you. About the things you do – and maybe about anything you can't do, and what that also means to you. Share your experiences, delights, frustrations, concerns and pains of being sixty. Photos, videos, articles, poems – all welcome. Happy to hear about your reflections, your thoughts and ideas, as well as your activities.
However by the time you get to sixty, you have developed standards and tastes. You appreciate quality, and despair at mediocrity. We like well-written pieces, clear audio items along with in-focus photographs and videos. If grumpy is your thing, then be grumpy with panache. If you have to complain, do it with style and wit.
If your life has not involved words and they baffle you send us an audio file or a video, we'll work with either. If you want to say it with words but have difficulty with them and want a bit of help with your notes, your doodles, your thoughts then send them through and we'll hook you up with someone who can help you out. Send what you have and we'll work it out with you before it goes public.
We look forward to hearing from you. Please no adverts, selling, investment or funeral plans! We reserve the right to edit or reject submissions.
As Mark Twain is reported to have said "rumours of my death are greatly exaggerated". Long may it stay this way.

Medical personnel in Louisiana are expected to meet a certain standard of care. When they fail to do so, the patients are the ones who suffer most. Medical malpractice can occur under any number of circumstances, but a delayed or incorrect diagnosis can set of a dangerous chain of events leading to serious injury or death of the patient.
Driver in Louisiana truck accident taken into custody
Accidents that occur on bridges increase the potential for fatalities. An otherwise survivable accident could lead to death if a vehicle is forced off the side of a bridge. Authorities in Louisiana need some time to make that determination in a recent truck accident.
Toxic exposure is just one workplace hazard for Louisiana workers
Nearly every industrial worker in Louisiana accepts that his or her job comes with certain dangers. Toxic exposure to chemicals that are used, stored or distributed in the workplace is just one of those hazards. Without the proper safety equipment and training, a worker can suffer serious injury, illness or even death.
2 school girls suffer catastrophic injuries in accident
Most weekday mornings during the school year, children leave their homes for school. Louisiana parents expect their children to come home at the end of the day, but tragically, that is not always the case. Two teenage girls suffered catastrophic injuries in an accident that took their lives, and a third was seriously injured.

On Thursday the 15th October the work started early, as Mr Joyce, Mr Mullaney and Ms Masterson's Amber Flag team were out amidst the fog setting up the course that would soon greet over 600 students. The atmosphere was buzzing around the school as the mascots greeted each class with excitement. The countdown was on, each minute was spent waiting in anticipation for the final bell. The class of TYA joined Ms O'Callaghan, Mr Joyce, Ms Masterson and their team on the pitches awaiting the student body.
The participants wore orange or blue, the orange represented the Amber flag and the blue symbolised Cycle against Suicide. Students were met on the bridge with the 'face painters' where they were decorated with orange and blue stripes. The crowds swarmed out. The photo booth was very popular, where students dressed up in the crazy costumes and got their photo taken in front of the green screen. The atmosphere was electric as smiles were spread across the face of each student out on the pitches.
If you were looking for a good laugh, Newbridge College was the place to be. A mascot race took place to kick off the eventful day. Each of the mascots lined up on the starting line but I think it is safe to say that not all of them managed to pass the finish line, after the 100 metre 'dash'.
The starting line was filled with hundreds of students and teachers rearing to go. The runners took off at the start, followed by the walkers. Everyone smiled, laughed and gasped for air the whole way around the four laps of the rugby pitches. Great encouragement came the stewards who were spread out across the pitches. Everyone was cheered on as they crossed the finish line, no matter if they came first or last.
Those who finished in the top three in the year all received medals. There was also prizes for the best dressed on the day and those who guessed the Amber Bear. After everyone crossed the finish line, two ice cream vans awaited across the bridge. Everyone continued to spread the positivity as the pitches were cleared. The day was a major success. From start to finish it was a day of promoting positive mental health and needless to say everyone headed home with a smile on their face.

Throughout The Car Industry
Rob Dyrdek Slays Sonic Kick Flip [Video]
As of Saturday, Chevrolet has demonstrated advertising supremacy in the subcompact field. Forget about strange animals being arranged into a Honda Fit or fancy endorsements from Leno's Garage, no amount of marketing genius can possibly top Rob Dyrdek's Chevy Sonic kick flip stunt. Although classically reserved for skateboards, a kick flip requires a full 360 degree lateral rotation in mid-flight, and Dyrdek unabashedly achieved this feat whilst strapped to the helm of a stunt-modified Chevy Sonic.
What started with Sonics being launched from high altitude has transformed into an ad campaign challenging consumers to a veritable match of one-upsmanship (aka the 'Game of Firsts') on letsdothis.com – where consumers can attempt wacky public challenges like Sidewalk Limbo or Urban Camouflage and earn points in the hopes of winning a brand new Chevy Sonic.
Since you're all wondering: no, a 360 degree flying Sonic rotation is not listed as a recommended 'First'.
"With his outrageous personality and his willingness to try any adventure once, Rob Dyrdek was the perfect match for the Sonic and our 'Let's Do This' campaign," said Kevin Mayer, director of Chevrolet advertising and sales promotion.
Dyrdek performed the Sonic kick flip before an eager audience at Six Flags Magic Mountain Saturday, also intended to be showcased on MTV's Season 5 premier of Fantasy Factory. To make matters more exhilarating, Dyrdek soared over the world's largest skateboard mid-flight, channeling a former stunt where he actually rolled around the Venice Boardwalk for Guinness recognition.
"A kick flip with a Chevy Sonic was a no-brainer," proclaimed Dyrdek. "I am a Chevy guy from my '69 Camaro to the Tahoe I drive every day. The Sonic's power and sportiness made it the perfect vehicle for this awesome stunt."
Most will recognize Dyrdek from one of his popular MTV programs like Fantasy Factory, Ridiculousness or Rob & Big, but few are probably aware of his dedication to various charities, innovative business schemes or professional skateboarding career. From building skate parks in the Rob Dyrdek Foundation to creating the first ever professional street skateboarding league, Dyrdek is a guy with incredible passion, ambition, and enough moxie to attempt a kick flip over an obstacle associated with a former world-record.
Hit the video below for high-flying Sonic action. And remember what we learned from Kevin Flynn in Tron: the only way to win the game [of firsts] is not to play. After all, firsts are called 'firsts' for a reason.

There is scale I use with clients often to help them recognize how full they are. Using the numbers 1-10 you rank how you feel before and after meals.
1 would be starving, totally empty stomach, can't think, low blood sugar....
2 would be ready to eat your own shoe but maybe take the laces out first
3 would be really hungry, but not desperate
4 would be just a little hungry
5 would be feeling like you need just a little more
6 would be no longer hungry
7 is satisfied
8 satisfied, but I could have ate less
9 is stuffed
10 is ready to vomit, OMG I can't think anymore, I swore these pants fit when I sat down.
Now because of busy lifestyles, eating on the go, larger portion sizes and just a lack of attention on our eating, many people when they describe full usually fall somewhere in the 8-10 range. We've all done it before: Got way too excited at dinner and ate like a Tazmanian devil ripping through the jungle.
Believe it or not, what you want to aim for and get accustomed to is somewhere between 6 and 7. Being full and giving the body what it needs should only result in you no longer being hungry. When we push past this, we are just overloading our bodies with more than it needs and you can guess where that ends up going....
So slow down at your meals and really pay attention to when you stop eating. Is it between that 6 and 7, or are you pushing the limit of your blue jeans again?

Congratulations to all recipients!
Recent graduate James Boudreau, advised by Vicki Knoblauch, will publish the paper "Stratification and Growth in Agent-Based Matching Markets" in the Journal of Economic Behavior and Organization. The relationship between economic mobility and growth has long been a focus of economists' attention, and James' paper contributes to that literature by emphasizing the dynamic impacts of two-sided matching.
The model economy in the paper features heterogeneous agents that compete in an intergenerational match game for employment. Agents known as workers make productivity-enhancing investments, using their endowed wealth to add to pre-existing ability levels as they compete to match with other agents known as firms. A novel feature of the model is its use of the market's matching process as an evolutionary fitness selection mechanism. Workers that are unable to find a match drop out of the population and thus do not contribute to current or future productive capacity. Those that do match are able to pass on their attributes, but in a manner that is not fully deterministic. Because of the stochastic element to inheritance, results are arrived at by way of agent-based simulations. Even with perfect information and substantial variety in both offspring and entrants, two-sided matching inevitably causes the population to evolve into stratified groups. Corrective measures are possible to improve mobility, but by altering the path of market evolution, a policy may have unintended impacts on growth and inequality.
Prof. Knoblauch (IDEAS) has had a lot of success recently in publishing articles in economic theory. She has been working in two main areas. One is concerned with increasing our understanding of consumer and voter preferences. "Recognizing One-Dimensional Euclidean Preferences," forthcoming in the Journal of Mathematical Economics, shows how to determine whether voters' preferences over candidates were formed on the basis of a single issue when the preferences themselves are the only information available. "Binary Relations: Finite Characterizations and Computational Complexity," published in Theory and Decision, defines a category of easy-to-implement techniques for studying consumer preferences.
Her other area of study concerns the design of mechanisms that combine individual preferences into a collective choice. "Three-Agent Peer Evaluations," forthcoming in Economics Letters, is an investigation into the recent surprising discovery that no rule that divides a profit fairly among three partners based on reports they submit can respect those reports when they agree. "Marriage Matching and Gender Satisfaction," published in Social Choice and Welfare, is, among a vast literature on the subject of marriage matching, one of only a handful that has made progress in determining men's and women's satisfaction with the outcome of the best-known matching algorithm.
Recent graduate Rimvydas Baltaduonis (IDEAS), advised by Vicki Knoblauch (IDEAS), is finishing up his post-doc fellowship at the Economic Science Institute at Chapman University where he worked with a world renowned team of experimental economists including a 2002 Nobel laureate in economics Vernon L. Smith (IDEAS). In August, Rim will begin a tenure-track position as an Assistant Professor of Economics at Gettysburg College in Pennsylvania. During last two years as a post-doc fellow at George Mason University and then at Chapman University, Rim continued his research of electric power markets and helped organizing numerous workshops in experimental economics for graduate, undergraduate and high school students, public utility regulators, businessmen, faculty and high school teachers. He conducted workshops in Virginia, California, Colorado, Guatemala and recently in Lithuania. These workshops in experimental economics are designed to promote research, teaching and learning of economics through laboratory experiments. Before Rim assumes his position at Gettysburg this fall, he will spend summer (actually winter!) months as a Visiting Fellow in Experimental Economics at the University of Sydney in Australia.
Recent graduate Nicholas Shunda (IDEAS), advised by Vicki Knoblauch (IDEAS), will publish the paper "Auctions with a Buy Price: The Case of Reference-Dependent Preferences" in the journal Games and Economic Behavior. The paper contributes to a theoretical literature on rationales for the hybrid selling mechanism known as an auction with a buy price. In an auction with a buy price, a seller provides bidders with an option to forgo the auction and transact at a fixed price. The most well-known example of an auction with a buy price is eBay's "Buy-It-Now" feature. The paper demonstrates that sellers can enhance revenues by adding a buy price to their auctions if bidders evaluate auction and purchase outcomes on the bases of surplus and comparison to a reference point depending upon the auction's reserve and buy price. In contrast to alternative explanations for auctions with buy prices, such as risk aversion and impatience, which predict bidding behavior that is independent of the auction's parameters, bidders with reference-dependent preferences submit bids that vary directly with the existence and size of the auction's reserve and buy prices, behavior extensively documented in laboratory and field experimental auctions.
James Boudreau (IDEAS) defended his dissertation on Friday, May 1st 2009, the title of which is "Essays on the Analysis and Implications of Two-Sided Matching Markets." In his work, performed with adviser Vicki Knoblauch (IDEAS), he uses both theory and simulation techniques to investigate the functioning of matching markets. These are markets such as the marriage market or the labor market in which partnerships are typically intended as long-term, so participants are especially concerned with who they end up with. His contributions include results on how preference characteristics can help or hinder both centralized and decentralized matching mechanisms, and how individual incentives in matching markets can influence macroeconomic phenomena such as unemployment and growth.
James, a Connecticut native, has been a UConn student since the Fall of 1999, receiving his BA, MA, and now his PhD in economics. During his PhD studies he has also been an instructor, teaching classes in both microeconomics and macroeconomics at the introductory and intermediate levels.
Unfortunately for us, James' time at UConn has finally ended, but fortunately for him his experience with the world of economics has only just begun. Next Fall James will begin a tenure-track position as an Assistant Professor of Economics at the University of Texas Pan American. We wish him all the best.

There is a Virgo Full Moon on February 22 which is opposed by The Sun and Neptune coupled in Pisces.This Moon empowers you to keep your feet on the ground while you reach for the stars. You are being asked to balance your heart—Pisces with your head—Virgo.
Art by Josephine Wall
These are challenging times and we must find new and innovative ways to navigate its often choppy waters. But they are also times of rebirth and renewal, deep wisdom, transformational insight and life potentised anew. This Moon comes to remind us we are never alone, never cast out from the divine source of all things everywhere. We merely believe ourselves to be, in one mighty misperception which is rigorously challenged by the light of this Virgo Moon.
Evolution is not about arrival, and transformation is not about securing a state that lasts forever. Life is always in flux, otherwise it isn't life. Our heart rests between each beat. Wakefulness is punctuated with sleep and energy with exhaustion. Our breath comes and goes, our cells renew and our emotions shift and change. Stasis is stagnant: death not life, suppression not expression. If we want to claim the life that is ours we must be prepared to live it fully, not edit out the bits we'd prefer to avoid and cling tenaciously to those parts that really need to be gone. The coming eclipse season, together with this alignment between Saturn, Uranus and Pluto, will help blow away any cobwebs of complacency and remind us that destinations are over rated: the journey is where it's at! ~ Sarah Varcas
Pisces' symbol, two fish swimming in opposing directions, shows us the great initiation of Pisces: to develop our Christ Consciousness, the awakening of the Soul to its spiritual essence; or to remain in the illusion of separateness, which leads to a sense of powerlessness, victimization, suffering, unworthiness as well as materialism, cruelty and domination. Which way will we turn?
From Wisdom of Astrology
Pisces is the home of our collective Heart—the heart that cries out for love, justice, creativity, fun, magic, union with the Divine. The Heart that looks for meaning, for connection, for Wisdom about Life. Or the heart of darkness, of despair, of addiction. Once again, the choice is ours.
Neptune in Pisces wants to help us birth a new life for ourselves and the world. But we have to change our beliefs and bring them more in line with our heart. That means our religious, cultural and family beliefs have to be questioned, examined and if necessary, left behind. This is the challenge we face from this year's T-square between Neptune/Chiron in Pisces, Jupiter in Virgo and Saturn in Sagittarius. How can we weave together a form that can be a container for many ways of seeing and being in the world?
Virgo wants us to master whatever gifts and talents we have so we can be of service to the world. This Virgo Full Moon can take the measure of who we are and who we are meant to be, and lead us down the path of mastery. We have to submit to the alchemical fires of transformation that await us as we perfect ourselves in Love and gratitude.
As we renew ourselves, we renew the world. We have to engage in the our world now. If we work with our Neptune in Pisces energy, we have to be careful not to fall into the delusion that there is no hope for the future. That is the old story—the story of Piscean martyrdom and suffering.
If we want to make a difference in the world we need to imagine and incarnate a new story for the world. We are the grandparents of the Aquarian Age, and now is the time to fully step into that new story. The revolutionary and evolutionary energies birthed in the 60s wants to set down deep roots and fling out strong branches now. The revolution is upon us. Will you join?

|(Why yes, I do serve my homemade meatballs in a dish shaped like Sweden!)
|(An opportunity to use the wine-chilling thingamabob is an opportunity for Stu to take artsy pictures.)
|(Patrick mincing onions)
And they weren't just edible, they were really good! In my humble opinion, anyway. We conflated 3 different recipes, but Swedish meatballs are so idiot-proof, you don't even need a recipe. The basic idea is to mush ground meat (any animal you like, we even added chopped bacon,) bread crumbs, garlic/onion, salt/pepper, maybe an egg. Roll them into little balls and fry the suckers in butter, then serve with creamy gravy. With lingonberry sauce and potatoes, of course.

Sounds delicious!ReplyDelete
Oh, how I love this blog. From the Sweden shaped dish I eat Gott&Blandat! Your kòttbullar looks really yummy!ReplyDelete

I've lived here since summer of 2002 and I haven't try to make a homemade köttbullar hmmm maybe I should try now...ReplyDelete
Nice! I love Gott & Blandat...big fan of black licorice (though I could live without the salty stuff.)
Make them! If only because it's surprisingly fun to mush meat in a bowl (My Former-Vegetarian-Self would be appalled to see me write those words.)
YUM! Those look fantastic! So, how do you make the creamy gravy?ReplyDelete
Yes, they were!
Ummm, when I make it, its using a packet of instant creamy gravy (just add milk & heat!) Patrick made this stuff...he used the pan drippings and a little flour, then added cream and butter? It was good stuff, but I probably couldn't replicate the from-scratch on my own.

Other Description
This scene was inspired by the view from my kitchen window in Oulart, Co.Wexford. I sketched the scene in pen and decided to try it on canvas in the colour combination of light blues and browns. I painted it with scrapers, plastic knives, pallet knives and cloths as well as brushes to add texture.
The dimensions of the painting are H50xW60xD1.5cm. The sides of the canvas are painted black and the painting comes ready to hang. It is signed on the front and comes with a certificate of authenticity signed by the artist.

Modernist Brazilian design is regarded as one of the most refined and high quality design in the world.
Before the 1940's, Brazil imported furniture from Europe; it's only with the rise of a new architecture and under the impulsion of architects like Oscar Niemeyer that Brazilian design was born.
Most of these new designers were European immigrants, influenced by Bauhaus, Italian or Scandinavian design. Their creation included indigenous materials, especially exotic woods, and shapes reflected the Brazilian way of living.
Galerie Le Beau presents a curated selection of Brazilian furniture by
design masters Jorge Zalszupin, Joaquim Tenreiro and Joze Zanine Caldas.
Galerie Le Beau will be exhibiting a selection of pieces designed by the master designer and architect Alvar Aalto, from the 7th of June to the 20th July 2018.
Alvar Aalto was a hugely talented architect and an ardent spokesman for the international modernist movement, which he drew on to develop his own unique style. To this day he is considered one of the great masters of mid-century design and architecture.
During his long and prolific career, Alvar Aalto's work embraced virtually all key public institutions as well as standardized housing and corporate headquarters.
Alvar Aalto began designing furniture and lighting as a natural but vital extension of his architectural thought.Innovative and radical, Alvar Aalto developed a reputation for his experimental approach to bending wood, through Artek, the company he founded with his wife in 1935. His style became known as human modernism.
A keen student of the subtle northern light, Alvar Aalto tried to integrate his work on lighting into each of his architectural achievements.
Innovative and radical, Alvar Aalto's designs were influenced by artists as Hans Arp, Fernand Léger and Alexander Calder. Curves and free form elements became and are until today his signature.
Dialogue with Luc Peire
Every year, during Easter holidays, Galerie Le Beau curates an exhibition in Knokke dedicated to 20th century design.
This year rendez-vous will be the opportunity to discover the Atelier Luc Peire, the Knokke foundation of the Belgian painter.
On the occasion of « Les Nocturnes du Sablon » (23-26 Nov), Galerie Le Beau will open an exhibition on iconic furniture and lighting by major mid-century French designers Jean Prouvé, Charlotte Perriand and Serge Mouille.
Shortly after the Second World War, this generation of designers and architects brought a new concept to the art of furnishing, dictated by a need for freedom and functionality in a time of technological and scientific advances, creating for the first time forms that were pure and without ornament.
Galerie Le Beau presents an exhibition dedicated to rare designers' lights.
The invention of incandescent light bulb in the 1870s led to lighting becoming one of the first publicly available applications of electrical power. During twentieth century, designers took over this new technology to challenge their desire of creating welcoming and functional, yet aesthetic interiors. Some of them went even further by exploiting the highly decorative potential of lamps and creating real sculptures.
Brazilian Modern Masters by the sea
For Easter holidays, Galerie Le Beau will be exhibiting on the Belgian seaside in Knokke.
We will curate an exclusive exhibition dedicated to mid century Brazilian design furniture, in the historical modernist building « Het Zwart Huis ».
Poul Kjærholm – Early Works
Steel's constructive potential is not the only thing that interests me; the refraction of light on its surface is an important part of my artistic work. I consider steel a material with the same artistic merit as wood and leather
Kjærholm's design is characterized by its understated elegance, clean lines and remarkable attention to detail – modest in means, but rich in expression. Although he always considered functionality an absolute requirement this was always done with an unwillingness to compromise as an artist.
Kjærholm's work is represented in numerous museums around the world, most notably in the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art in New York and at the V&A Museum in London.
Scandinavian Design
The gallery presents a selection of furniture that illustrates the craftsmanship and timeless design of the best danish architects and designers, including Hans Wegner, Arne Jacobsen, Finn Juhl…
Danish Designers & blaise drummond
For our post-summer show, we are presenting a selection of furniture by Danish designers, and a solo exhibition of Blaise Drummond's works on paper.
Running through Blaise Drummond's drawings are invisible threads that connect disparate universes, sensations and memories, anchored particularly in 1950's and 60's design and architecture.
1st Anniversary Show
For its first anniversary, the gallery pays tribute to Claude Gilli, an important French artist (« Ecole de Nice »), known as one of the father of the French pop art movement, alongside Martial Raysse.
The gallery exhibits historical works from Gilli, including an important Ex-Voto from 1964, as well as other works from the same period of the British visual artist Roy Adzak, the German Ferdinand Spindel and the Belgian abstract artist Kurt Lewy.
In addition, a selection of vintage furniture illustrates the depth of the creativity in the sixties.

SENSUAL ELEGANCE-EVA, A FRENCH FILLETTE IN PARISThere is no denying it-hate it or love it, Paris is a classy city. Full to the brim with culture, teeming with activities and the hot-spot for high-fliers, there can be no better way to pass your time there than in the company of someone as high-class as our very French and very fine escort, Eva. You may need a companion for a business lunch or diplomatic gathering or perhaps you want some company at the end of a long day doing business and want to sample the luxury that Paris has to offer with an elegant, but sensual, lady on your arm. And if it is sensual elegance you are after, think no further as Eva is the call girl you have been looking for.
Elite Eva, the courtesan who has it allWhere do all the fashionistas go to search for the hub of style and elegance? France. This is because when it comes to understatement and style, the French wrote the book and Eva is the written word in human form. It is hard to know where to begin. She has that classic French beauty that you will only have dreamed of before meeting her. A sweet elfin face with flawless skin and dancing brown eyes is framed by shining, luxuriant, long brown hair which flows over her delicate frame, a body that was made to wear classic Chanel or Versace. She is the quintessential lady and will make any man in her company feel strong and powerful as he holds her small and perfectly shaped body close to his. She will make you want to protect her and will enchant you with her mischievous eyes and sultry French accent. In privacy, the little girl disappears and all inhibitions are dropped, in true French fashion, as her wild passion is unleashed.
A classy and cultural Call GirlEva has studied Fine Art and can converse knowledgeably about French culture with anyone. She has mixed in circles where only the best company is seen and her ability to dine and dance with the upper-classes would bring to mind royalty, with grace and style, her intelligence and knowledge, her elegance and exclusivity. Fluent in both French and English, you could take her through the museums and galleries and let her amaze you with her delightful interpretations or she will listen eagerly to yours. And if you want peace and quiet, she can fully appreciate it and will subtly follow your every wish. She is a well-travelled escort and loves to talk about or hear about the different and exotic places and cultures of the world. And she is fairly exotic herself. You will never get a woman of this caliber out of your head, but be careful! Once you meet her you will be hooked.
Take Paris in with styleWith so many reasons to visit Paris, you will be spoilt for choice and you might as well be spoilt completely by this superior companion, one of the elite girls from this agency. Let yourself swim in her sophistication and bask in her beauty. You can take her dining on exquisite French food in the exclusive Laperouse or that fantastic hidden gem, Le Chateaubriand. Or maybe you would prefer some action at the ever-trendy Kong or the surrealist Club Silencio, where you can watch this little beauty move sensuously and show you what to expect later on. Or if you want to experience some of the magnificent art that Paris has to offer in the company of an educated and elegant mademoiselle, take a trip to the Louvre or absorb the opulence of the Palace of Versaille, then retire to the W-Paris Opera or the spectacular Hotel Balzac at night to discover what Eva has to offer in privacy, to make your time in Paris sublime.

Today is a big day. A life changing day. A momentous occasion.
Today, I didn't open a packet of contraceptive pills to protect me for the next twenty one days of my cycle. Today, I will not be taking a pill that contributes towards a fake period, mood swings, headaches and - worst of all, for me- weight gain.
Yep, it's been five, almost six, long years but it's over. On Sunday the 23rd of October I took my last pill and for the first Monday in forever I will not be starting a new packet. It's been a hard decision to make, because the pill is so...so, convenient. I can skip periods if I have an event or holiday coming up, it eases tummy cramps and so on.
But it's time for a break. I had no idea that periods on the pill weren't 'real' so to speak, until about a year ago (I know, stupid me right?). Also, it's not recommended to be on the pill for more than five years, so my time is up. And also, over the last year I have heard nothing but bad stories and experiences from friends and bloggers who use the pill.
Truthfully, it was the weight issue that was the deciding factor for me. I definitely gained weight on the pill, and I've been told my weight loss will be more effective when I'm off the pill, as well as losing weight just by not taking the pill anymore. I'm hoping not using the pill will help me lose the weight I've been trying to lose since- well. Since I started taking the pill!
Obviously the weight gain has not been purely down to the pill but it has contributed massively. And to be honest, I'm looking forward to having real periods again, getting in touch with my body again and getting everything working healthily and organically.
Let me know about your experience of coming off the pill! Is there anything I should be expecting? Let me know in the comments below!
Love from,
Florence Grace

The world is in chaos. The Rhogar are invading from another dimension; sent by a vengeful fallen god seeking to enslave and control humanity, taking over a world where man seeks to banish evil from all humans. In a chance to seek redemption, convicted criminal Harkyn is released from prison by his mentor Kaslo, as the pair seek to stop the invasion and save the realm. Through both their world and the realm of the Rhogar, Harkyn faces innumerable foes of size and strength in order to banish the demons, prevent the enslavement of the human race, and atone for his sins once and for all. CI Games in conjunction with Deck13 Interactive boldly strike out with this new fantasy hack-and-slash game that swings hard and strikes true.
As expected from a game set in a medieval fantasy world, Lords of the Fallen is presented as bleak and dark; a gritty and unrelenting place littered with ruin and chaos. Skies are cloudy and grey, and the only illumination is by fire or the glow of a monster's eyes, or by the gleaming metal of weaponry and armour. Trees and plants sprout twisted limbs in the air, bereft of life and as grey as the walls and skies above. Some areas are shrouded in mist or smoke that wafts through and obscures, fading as the character approaches. It is not a happy place indeed, and it really sets the tone for the game.
For a game only available on the new generation of consoles (and PC, don't worry, they didn't forget you either), there were rare moments where Lords of the Fallen did not feel as polished as it could have been; textures lacked in certain points, characters' faces did not look as realistic, and even gameplay stuttered. These were rare though, and for the most part the game manages to keep up and provide great visuals throughout.

"Insure" and "ensure" are almost synonyms, although "ensure," meaning "guarantee," is more literary, or at least seems more British. Some people (and publications) limit the use of "insure" to the job that Philip Roth's father did. Why does The New Yorker use "insure" for both senses? Maybe because it's never wrong.

I've been told he was friends with a Japanese gentleman he knew in Liverpool at the time (I wish I could trace him) who helped him.
He also took a lot of landscape photos, mainly in the Lake District and wanted his compositions to have a Japanese style to them (most probably Hiroshige) and as such never wanted people to be looking into the camera, but rather looking into and responding to the landscape around them. Much to the annoyance of my Granny, apparently.
So, the question arises, is there any connection between my Grandad's interest in Japanese art and mine? Is it just a coincidence? Lot's of people who aren't related to me obviously like it; but is there, perhaps, something in the way my Grandad's brain and mine that made us almost predisposed to be attracted to Japanese art and prints, and for us both to want to create our own art based on it?
I don't know. I have a vague, unformed theory of something I call Hereditary Memory. Memories or feelings, which, like physical and mental attributes are perhaps passed through the generations. The reason why some people feel inexplicably called to the sea or the countryside because our ancestors were probably either farmers or fishermen. My Grandad's father was a printer and print compositor as well.My Grandad was a fascinating man. While living in Liverpool he was very closely involved with the Folk music clubs and, so I have been told, played a part in Paul Simon's first UK visit as a young unknown singer songwriter. My cousin has a set of old reel to reel recordings of Paul Simon's performances in the Folk clubs which I've never heard.
In Paul Simon's song, 'Homeward Bound' (which he wrote while sitting at Widnes Railway Station during that first UK tour) are the lines '...every step is carefully planned for a poet and a one-man band...' and I like to think he's refering to my Grandad there. It's also slightly amusing to think that my Grandad played a part in making Paul Simon miserable enough to write that song!
Curiously, here's a print from a Japanese woodblock print book I saw online recently which looks just like my Grandad.

Eight Ways to Know Which One You Have
How do you know whether you have a job or if you actually own a business? The answer will have a tremendous impact on your short- and long-term success. Whether you are considering selling your business next year or 10 years from now, you want to be building an asset someone will buy. If you cannot find a buyer who will offer a good price for your business, then you quite possibly have a job, not a business. In this article, we will explore eight ways to test your relationship to your business and how to build long-term value.
Are you required to show up at the office?
A job requires that you show up at the office or in the field to make money. Does your business need you there day in and day out? Does the business suffer when you are away? A business generates revenue and profit whether the owner is there or not. In fact, some of the strongest businesses do better when the owner is away as the team pulls together and handles issues that arise. This kind of business also has far more value to a buyer.
How reliant is your business on a single customer?
Does one customer carry enough weight to dictate how you work with it? Does this customer account for 15 percent or more of your total revenue? Does the decision-maker call you directly when there are issues or when he (or she) needs something? Too many dealership owners handle the business' largest accounts. This requires them to be very involved at all times. This is more like a job than a business.
A strong business is not reliant on one or two customers. If your business is too reliant on one or two customers, it will have a significant impact on the value of the business. Buyers are very nervous about buying an organization like this.
How much does your personal reputation impact business results?
A job is a place where your personal reputation impacts and often dictates your results. Do your customers refer to your company by name or to you instead? If someone asked them who supplies their systems, would they say "ABC Company" or "John Smith"? Do you find yourself
referring to customers as "my customers" or "our customers"? In a business, the brand is senior to the personality leading it. Having a strong brand builds value; a brand itself will often attract buyers.
Do you personally put out many fires in the business?
A job requires your personal experience and expertise to get a result. The problems come to you and you provide the solution. Do your employees tend to bring problems to you? In a business, desirable results are produced consistently by processes, not individual experience and intellect. Of course, the people have to be there to carry out the processes, but with strong policies and procedures in place, you do not have to solve all of the problems. Let's face it, there will always be fires. A business that can solve its own problems with standard application of policy is far more valuable than one that needs the leader to put out all of the fires.
Can you take as much time off as you want?
In a job, you get fired for taking too much time off. Do you avoid taking long vacations? Do you constantly check email while you are out? Do you call the office more than once a day when you are out? The more time you can take off without negatively impacting your company's performance, the more valuable your business will be.
Are you working harder than you want to?
In a job, the harder you work, the more money you make. Are you the first one in the office and the last to leave? Do you find yourself outworking your team members? Do you take work home at night and on weekends? I have seen many dealership owners work themselves to exhaustion, not realizing they were holding their businesses back. In a business, working smarter and using the resources available to you make for a more valuable entity and, by the way, a happier owner.
Do you closely monitor and drive the financial results of the company?
Employees rarely know the financial position of the company. In fact, most operate as if the company is a bottomless barrel of money. How often do they direct their actions toward building profit? Most do not know how to drive profitability. If left to their own devices, many employees would drain the company dry, look back and wonder what happened. A business owner understands and closely monitors the financials. He uses the income statement and balance sheet as a road map to success. Doing this creates an exponential increase in the value of the business.
Do you have a succession plan?
An employee with a job rarely worries about what will happen if he resigns. He does little or no planning to ensure someone else can take over his role. As a business owner, you cannot afford that luxury. Do you have people who are trained and qualified to run the business in your absence? A strong business has succession plans outlined and plans in place to work toward them. People are being trained to take more responsibility in the future. The lack of a succession plan limits the options available at the time of your exit and reduces the value of the business.
Running a business is not easy. If it was easy, everyone would be doing it and would be successful. Looking closely at these questions will provide some insight into areas that might be holding you back. As a business owner, your job is to ensure the short- and long-term success of the business. When you approach it this way, you no longer just have a job — you have a business. A business is far more valuable than a job while you are running it and ready to sell it. The best part is that you do not have to tackle all of these areas at once. Hit them one at a time and watch the results.

FROM the return of the 'last Jedi' to the long awaited sequel to Blade Runner it has been a good year for sci-fi at the cinema.
We've also had awards season favourites like Moonlight and Manchester By The Sea, Netflix getting in on the movie game with new productions like Okja and treasured children's icon Paddington getting into more mishaps.
So with no further ado, Weekend editor David Morgan presents the top 10 countdown to his favourite films of 2017.
10. Get Out
Director: Jordan Peele
With Donald Trump's rise to power and the general swing to the right in the United States, filmmaker Jordan Peele's debut feature is particularly timely.
Get Out puts white middle class America through the wringer and is part comedy and part horror in a way that plays out like an extended episode of Charlie Brooker's Black Mirror.
That you cannot really tell when the movie switches from comedy to horror is what makes the story so compelling and uncomfortable.
The less you know about Get Out before seeing it the better but the story sees Rose (Allison Williams) bring her black boyfriend Chris (Daniel Kaluuya) home to meet her parents for the first time.
But not everything is as it seems when he appears to be the guest of honour at a garden party.
It is not perfect. Some early scenes in the film are a bit too heavy handed and British actor Daniel Kaluuya's London accent jars a bit when he is playing an African American.
But as a metaphor for racial tensions that can lurk just below the surface of polite society, Get Out is genuinely chilling, shocking and unpredictable.
9. Baby Driver
Director: Edgar Wright
We know him and love him for Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz but Edgar Wright proved that his slick style of fast cuts and close-ups works just as well in Hollywood.
And it works even better when it is put to music.
There has never been a crime film quite like Baby Driver where the songs have been built into the fabric of the experience.
Ansel Elgort plays 'Baby', a young and ridiculously gifted getaway driver who is coerced into a life of crime as he is indebted to a mob boss.
By keeping the camera on Baby in almost every frame, Wright's film feels incredibly intimate.
So you feel like you are being taken along on this joyride with him.
And as the tempo of the music shifts so does what you see on screen.
8. Star Wars: The Last Jedi
Director: Rian Johnson
The one where Mark Hamill's Luke Skywalker finally gets some lines.
After the success of Disney's relaunch of Star Wars with The Force Awakens and that literal cliffhanger ending, there had been huge anticipation for The Last Jedi and Rian Johnson's film does not disappoint. Porgs aside, it is a darker entry in the saga with General Organa's (Carrie Fisher's last role) Resistance in a desperate battle against The First Order.
It is a worthy swan song and Hamill and Adam Driver, as Kylo Ren/Ben Solo, are also great as two conflicted souls who are almost two sides of the same coin.
The two Force users, both descendants of Darth Vader, question their place and the traditions of old in a movie which takes the brave step of demystifying the Jedi order, the Force and the concept of light versus dark.
7. Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2
Director: James Gunn
Marvel's misfits' return to the big screen was one of the most joyous and outrageously funny cinema experiences of 2017.
Not bad for a film that features a baby tree, a wisecracking raccoon and a ridiculously over-the-top retro soundtrack.
Guardians of the Galaxy refuses to take itself seriously which gives it a different feel to most comic book movies – and it just works.
Even with a story that is arguably weaker than the first Guardians film, you cannot help but be charmed by Baby Groot (voiced by Vin Diesel) and Chris Pratt is a natural as leading man, Peter Quill/Star-Lord..
James Gunn, returning to the director's chair, ramps up all the ingredients that made the original a hit including the quirky charm, humour, wild and convention breaking characters and a great eye for visuals.
6. Manchester By The Sea
Director: Kenneth Lonergan
Manchester By The Sea is a truly tragic tale that makes you want to cling to all the people you care about and hold onto them for dear life.
Casey Affleck plays Lee Chandler, a brooding introvert, who is asked to take care of his teenage nephew after the boy's father dies.
You would think that was sad enough but the true extent of Lee's struggle slowly unravels throughout the film and will break your heart.
A flashback to a moment in Lee's past will make you feel like you have been let in on a terrible secret.
There is a glimmer of hope by the end but Affleck's portrayal of a broken, haunted soul will stay with you long after the film has finished.
Lonergan's story explores both how a single mistake can change your whole life and the power of a second chance.
5. Paddington 2
Director: Paul King
Most of us read Paddington when we were growing up and the subtext in the book about tolerance and compassion seem more relevant than ever considering the Brexit vote, the deep divides in our country and the way immigrants are sometimes viewed with suspicion.
Director Paul King takes that backdrop and then smothers it with innocence, charm and marmalade sandwiches.
With a cast who are clearly having a great time and with a story and silly humour that will appeal to all ages, Paddington 2 surpasses the original.
Not only that, after numerous cynical or naff movies it will also restore your faith in kids' films in general.
A worthy salute to the late, great Michael Bond.
4. Okja
Director: Bong Joon Ho
The jury is still out on Netflix's controversial decision to skip cinema releases for the productions they fund in favour of allowing their subscribers to stream them from home straight away, at no extra cost.
But while it may not be good for the industry it is certainly good for viewers.
And from Netflix's recent slate of productions we got the wonderfully provocative Okja.
At first glance, the South Korean film is a whimsical story, full of boundless imagination and warmth, about a girl and her relationship with a creature called a 'superpig', genetically engineered to help feed the world's growing population.
But then Bong Joon Ho's feature twists to become a thought-provoking attack on the meat industry and a call to arms for animal rights.
Is it vegetarian propaganda? Is it a little glimpse in the black mirror of how we really perceive animals?
That's for you to decide but it's a moving and thought-provoking watch.
3. The Handmaiden
Director: Chan-wook Park
The Handmaiden saw celebrated director Chan-wook Park return to his native Korea – as well as Japan – for a typically dark and twisted tale.
But what makes it so clever is how it is packaged as a deceptively simple story.
Sookee, a Korean woman from a family of thieves, is hired as a handmaiden to Japanese heiress Hideko. But secretly she is involved in a plot to defraud her with smooth conman Fujiwara.
But when Sookee and Hideko begin to develop feelings for each other, they start putting together a plan of their own.
The film becomes an exercise in concentration as you try to unravel what is going on.
But that is not such a problem when it is so beautifully shot and well paced.
2. Moonlight
Director: Barry Jenkins
Chiron lives in a rough neighbourhood in Miami.
He is bullied at school, neglected by his addict mum and is taken under the wing of the area's drug lord. Moonlight is fiction but it is not a push to imagine Chiron as a real person and Barry Jenkins' film makes us question how much our environment and circumstances shapes us.
Alex Hibbert, Ashton Sanders and Trevante Rhodes all play Chiron at different stages of his life from childhood to adulthood as he tackles his disadvantages and comes to terms with his homosexuality.
The film is anchored on Chiron's confused relationship with his best friend Kevin.
More interesting still is drug lord Juan (House of Cards' Mahershala Ali) who wrestles with a sense of guilt that he supplies drugs to Kevin's emotionally absent mum.
Jenkins' naturalistic style in the director's chair and his fearless ability to explore the grey areas of a deprived neighbourhood is what makes this powerful film a success.
1. Blade Runner 2049
Director: Denis Villeneuve
It has been 35 years since original Blade Runner, based on the Philip K. Dick story, was released.
Sequel ideas had been pitched over the years but always appeared ill advised given that they were going up against a seemingly standalone neo-noir classic on a staggering scale.
But then Canadian director Denis Villeneuve came along.
He had already wowed audiences with the likes of Sicario and last year's Arrival and Blade Runner 2049 cemented his place as one of Hollywood's finest.
The film was, for me, the most immersive cinema experience of 2017 and was visually impeccable.
Set 30 years after the original, the film takes place in an oppressive, post-apocalyptic world where bioengineered humans called replicants have been integrated into society to ensure humanity's continued survival.
K (Ryan Gosling) a newer model replicant, works as a 'blade runner' for the LAPD, hunting down rogue replicants who have gone off the grid.
But a grim discovery threatens to plunge what is left of society into chaos.
Villeneuve's sequel pays tribute to Ridley Scott's original 1982 film while stamping his own identity on the atmospheric and existential picture, exploring themes like what it means to be human, prejudice and control.

The May 2008 issue of XXL featured a cover story with hip-hop's ultimate crew, G-Unit. Led by 50 Cent, G-Unit served as both a rap clique and a record label that housed the three other core members of The Unit, Lloyd Banks, Tony Yayo and Young Buck. From 2002 to 2007 G-Unit ran the rap game with their overly aggressive attitudes, energy, actions and rhymes, selling over 20 million records as a group and as solo artists. They dominated hip-hop with hit albums and aconstant flood of mixtapes while traveling around the globe to perform for fans anywhere.
But their success and familial unity was too good to be true. By 2008, G-Unit was plagued with whispers of dissension and disloyalty within the group and rumors that Buck was on his way out as he was noticeably absent from the G-Unit's then newest mixtape Return Of The Body Snatchers. He'd also recently squashed beef with some of 50's enemies such as Jadakiss and former G-Unit member The Game. In addition, Banks stayed uncharacteristically silent during 50's then-recent skirmish with Cam'ron. To everyone, G-Unit didn't have each other's back anymore like they used to and it looked as if they might be on the brink of breakup.
The cover shoot for the May 2008 XXL happened earlier in the year in February. The shoot went down early in the day in Manhattan and the interviews happened at 50's famed 52-room Farmington, Conn. mansion that night. Both acted as somewhat of an attempt by Fif to get the guys back together, as did their mixtape Elephant In The Sand, which they also recorded that night. Return Of The Body Snatchers h the first time the core four weren't all featured on a G-Unit release. The goal was to have all of the artists on the tape since Buck had been absent on Return Of The Body Snatchers.

In 2004, The Mighty Thor stopped Ragnarok, preventing the end of the world, and disappeared into a void of nonexistence. The Avengers labeled him missing in action, and the world moved on. Three years later, he returned to a very different Marvel Universe with a simple (at first) agenda: restore the glory of Asgard.
The return of one of Marvel's most powerful heroes needed an iconic writer, and the company turned to J. Michael Straczynski, the sci-fi overlord who created Babylon 5 and had already done re-invigorating work on Spider-Man and Dr. Stephen Strange.
Straczynski's Thor maintains the old hallmarks of the character – the talismanic qualities of Mjolnir, the flowing blonde hair and the alter ego of Dr. Donald Blake – but from the beginning it seems there's something different about the God of Thunder. Thor is still Thor, but as Volume 3 of his Marvel chronicle begins, he seems to more than ever hold the might of a deity.
Thor returns from the void not with arrogance, but with quiet purpose. He reconnects with Blake, arrives on Earth, and immediately sets about reconstructing the realm of Asgard…in the middle of the Oklahoma prairie. When the local townfolk begin to snoop around, and someone points out to him that he can't simply build a kingdom on land he doesn't own, the God of Thunder simply raises his realm a few hundred feet off the ground. From his new, floating palace, Thor begins a search for his fellow Asgardians. He thought they were dead, but they're only trapped in mortal form, waiting to be freed.
Much of the early sections of Straczynski's Thor run are about the reunion of the Asgardians, and about the re-ignition of old alliances and treacheries. At first it's just invigorating for long time fans of the characters to see them rise renewed, and then it gets interesting.
Because, of course, the world has changed. Civil War has ravaged the Marvel Universe, a Civil War in which one side made use of a Thor clone in the hope that it would help them prevail. It is the leader of that side, Tony Stark, who first tries to bring Thor under the rein of the new order. But of course, no one can simply tell a god, particularly a god on a mission, what he will do.
One of the great pleasures of Straczynski's Thor, beyond the simple talent at work, is the way it builds its way back into the Marvel Universe. The early segments are about resurrection, the middle about reconciliation and the struggle for understanding, and the end about battling to keep all that has been reclaimed. At each turn, things get more complex, old friends and enemies return, and old and new battles lines are drawn. If you're a fan of the Thunder God, or you really enjoyed the movie and want to know where to go next, don't miss these stories.
