I also worked for DC in the early 1990s, but this particular flirt with a comics company was just so tragic I never thought of it in the same light as other bits of bad luck I'd had. I got a call, out of the blue, from New York. It was a guy called Neal Pozner, who was a managing editor at DC and was in charge of a lot of the projects that the general public never saw. Neal was a great guy and we chatted for an hour before he even got around to telling me why he called. He needed a British based comics journalist to do some work for DC on an in-house publication they produced for the creative community called Shop Talk. It was a newsletter cum fact sheet for people who wanted to work for DC, actually worked for them or did some freelance work. Neal was a huge advocate of promoting new talent in comics and during one of our many conversations over that spring he asked me why I'd never bothered to try and write comics, after all isn't that why everyone who can write gets into comics? I told him about my Marvel experiences of a few years before and he chuckled and told me about the proposals procedure that most companies operate. He didn't suggest that my allegations against DeFalco were true, but he did warn me that the worst people to send ideas to were the editors, because they could steal ideas and feed them to the writers.
I told him that I'd grown away from superheroes and really wanted to be a novelist. He asked me what I wrote and I had to be honest, not a lot. I'd set out at 17 to be a famous writer. I'd written my first novel by the time I was 20 and hadn't picked up a pen or sat at a typewriter for nearly 10 years. Since my return to writing I'd written mainly factual stuff and hadn't really considered fiction because of a lack of time. But that year I'd had an idea and I was working on it when I first heard from Neal. I plucked up the guts and told it to him.
It was called Dead Girls and was the story of three girls, two sisters and their best friend, who died, but didn't. They became the living dead, except they had their mental faculties; in fact, none of them knew they were dead until things started to go a bit wrong. They weren't interested in eating brains, they were young teenagers trying to enjoy life; they just at first wanted to know what had happened to them and then eventually to be left alone to really die. After thinking about it, I designed as a four-part comics story around the premise. I ran through the projected four parts and said, "That's it, I think it's quite an allegorical tale."
"AIDS." It was the only word he said.
"Yeah, in a nutshell."
"Is the script as good as the outline?"
"It's only half finished and I've never scripted a comic before, but yeah I think it's workable."
"You should show this to Art Young." Young was the then head honcho at DC UK, the editorial liaison office for DC in New York to deal with its huge list of British creators. He was also commissioning editor for any new projects coming out from the UK. I was going to meet and interview him as my first assignment for Shop Talk. Neal seemed quite adamant that I find the time to talk to Young about it. Which I duly did and at the end of a fairly uneventful interview in Soho, I told Art about the Dead Girls idea. He told me to send what I had over so he could have a look through it. And I headed back to Wellingborough feeling like I maybe had a chance.
A couple of days passed, I got a call from Neal asking how the interview went and when could he expect the piece. I told him by the end of the week. I finished that, got it away to New York and concentrated on fluffing up Dead Girls and getting the best job I could muster over to Art.
Neal called the following week, we chatted again and he told me he had Peter Milligan and Alan Grant lined up for me in the coming weeks and would I be able to work my CI schedule around for him. I could, but we didn't mention Dead Girls.
The following week, I received three copies of Shop Talk and a note saying to call him when I got them. I phoned Neal that evening (UK time) and he kindly phoned me back straight away. He was happy with how it had come out and he apologised for trimming it down, but was happy for me to use the stuff I'd written that wasn't used elsewhere. We talked about music for a while and I asked him a few questions about DC and finally he said, "I was thinking about your Dead Girls idea, did you mention it to Art?" I thought I had told him already but I might have been wrong. I told him I had and he said that it was important for me to really try and sell the AIDS allegory to Art and that if he could he would put a good word in for me when he got back from his vacation. I thanked him and wished him a good vacation. He replied, "I should be so lucky." I never spoke to Neal Pozner again.
His vacation turned into a permanent one. I wasn't aware but Neal had AIDS and had been working at DC over that last year on borrowed time. He never spoke to Art Young, therefore never smoothed it over for me. Neal's partner, a well-known comics artist had worked for Young, so Art was quite distraught at the death of a friend's partner.
I didn't know.
Because Pozner was a backroom boy this kind of news took a while to filter out, so when I phoned Art Young about two weeks after Neal died and about three weeks after I sent my proposal in, the conversation ended up being a little awkward and at the end of it I felt like a schmuck. Suffice it to say DC never picked up Dead Girls. I had a letter from Young's assistant saying DC was cutting back on new projects for the time being, but keep on trying. I don't think it was ever looked at.
The following was written by Chris Spicer for his Borderline column World of Heros, it perfectly illustrates the futility of wanting to be in comics:
YOU want to work in comics. Don't you? Of course you do. Everyone who reads comics does. You watch the constant whirlwind of changing creators as they dance from title to title and you think to yourself "I could do that!" Don't you? Yes, you do. And that goes doubly for people who write for comics magazines, and even more so for the hard-bitten, cynical writers of spoof news columns.
But you can't. Comics creators are special, and you're not. Here's why:
· Comics creators create comics, which makes them artists. You read comics, which makes you a geek.
· Every month you trek down to the local comic shop, desperate to know what wonderful stories your favourite creators are going to tell you next. Those same creators don't care whether you live or die.
· You queue for hours to meet comics creators for a few meager minutes, but no comics creator has ever queued to meet you.
· Comics creators get paid to write or draw. You get paid to flip burgers or something.
· You show your portfolios and scripts to creators in the vain hope that they'll bless you with a few words of even faint praise. They don't come to you, because your approval means nothing to them.
· Comics creators are in high demand because they can create wonderful things. There are a million mindless proles who could do your job.
· Editors actually want to receive work from comics creators, whereas they could throw your submissions straight into the bin without even so much as a moment's thought.
· Comics creators don't have to slog down to their local comic shop to pick up the latest issues of the best titles, because they're writing or drawing them. In their spare time they phone each other to laugh at you and tell dirty jokes about your mother.
· Comics creators can do their jobs without even leaving the house. You have to spend hours driving through crowds of inconsiderate mindless nothings, or cramming yourself into a dirty, crowded, fetid tube train just to get to a job that you hate.
· When a comics creator dies, they leave behind a legacy of distraught fans and respectful colleagues, whereas if you were to die tomorrow, no one would notice.
· Comics creators have scripts and sketches lying unwanted around their houses. If you were to get your hands on just one of them, you would frame it and put it on the wall, and talk about it in everyday conversation, and worship it as if Jesus himself had just handed it to you with the instruction that the chances of all your descendants getting into heaven depended purely upon it remaining in tip-top condition. A comics creator would consider such behavior to be stupid.
· This column is devoted to talking about comics creators. It may be a spoof, it may take the piss out of them, but there aren't any magazine columns devoted to you at all. Not even ones taking the piss.
· You wish you could be a comics creator. No comics creator has ever wished they could be you.
· Comics creators' ideas are published on a monthly, even weekly basis. No one cares what you think.
· When comics creators go to conventions, they meet friends, get drunk, and have a good time. When you go to conventions you spend hours in queues like a sweaty, pathetic sheep.
· Go into your local comic shop. Go on. Now, look at the people in there. If you were to take out a knife, and I'm talking about a really fucking big knife, with a huge serrated blade and a handle that you could use to club seals to death, and use it to hack your throat open then and there on the spot, spewing out astonishing fountains of blood as you floundered almost comically around before collapsing to the ground to bleed out your last in a sorry, unwanted heap in the corner, people in the shop would care more about the prospect of you having damaged their comics by spattering blood on them than about your slowly cooling corpse.
· Comics creators get the respect of their peers. Nobody respects you at all.
· Have you actually read work by Alan Moore or Grant Morrison? You could never be that creative or intelligent. Could you? No.
· At signings, comics creators get paid to sign their name. At signings, you queue for hours to have someone deface your comics.
· Hundreds, even thousands of people write to comics creators every month. The only letters you regularly get are sent by cold, emotionless automated systems operating on behalf of grubby-handed company executives hoping you'll be stupid enough to sign up for their credit cards.
· If Alan Moore walked into a comic shop, everyone would know who he was. If you walked into a comic shop, nobody would notice you even existed.
· You just read this article. A comics creator would never have done that.
Fandom is full of wannabes and like most industries a lot of tenacious wannabes can become a somebody. It takes a lot of hard work and a lot of hawking yourself around and taking a lot of criticism from people whose only knowledge of comics art is what they like, but they persevere. For artists it's easy, they take a portfolio and they can get instantaneous reactions from commissioning editors. The same editor can't read through half a dozen scripts in the same time to get an idea of how good a writer you are. Lots of new artists appear all the time. New writers? Very rarely and in general it's who they know rather than how good they are.
A lot of comics creators view their 'fame' as relative. They can walk in the local Tesco and never be bothered by anybody because of who they are and that suits most of them. They do a job and that job involves a lot of hard graft, much like anyone else that goes out to work. Yeah, most of them are thanking God that they had the talent or the ability to get there, but to most it is a job.
I've told you about Alan Davis briefly. Davis actually lives in the same county as me, but he's a very private man, so I never did the stupid thing of turning up on his doorstep (even though he lived next door to a former best mate's brother!) Alan, as I said, worked for British Steel in Corby – during all of the upheavals and what industry likes to call consolidation, he still had his job. In his spare time he spent it drawing comics strips – he didn't know it, but the people who were seeing his work were being blown away with this contemporary yet cartoonish style. Alan started to get offered more work, and gradually his income from comics surpassed his income from British Steel. Alan gave his job up at British Steel, not because he couldn't do it anymore, but because he was stopping someone else in Corby from having a job. Unemployment in Corby at the time was about 50%, he didn't think it was fair, however unsteady his comics work might end up being, to deprive someone else the opportunity of earning money. He made sure one of his redundant colleagues got his old job.
Like I said, when I finally met Alan - he had been one of my comics idols for years - he was a down-to-Earth man with a real sense of privacy about him. He seemed to view comics conventions as part of the job; but you got no sense that it was a pleasure for him. I suspect Alan's friends aren't comics people and would never likely be.
The biggest problem with any creator is unless he's that good he will eventually reach his sell-by date. Remember the rock dinosaurs of the 1970s, when they got back together in the 80s or 90s was their new stuff a patch on the old? No, of course it wasn't, and the same rule applies to almost all innovators, especially as they get older. Even if the spark is still there the style might have dated. Take the guy who helped turn the X-Men into the most popular US comic of modern times – John Byrne. Born (co-incidentally like his co-creator Chris Claremont) in the UK, Byrne came through the ranks of Charlton Comics before being poached by Marvel. His style was quite extraordinary compared to the general lifeless art that was on display in most comics and whenever he worked on a comic it sprang to life. He never really became the focus of the speculator because quite simply he put out far too much material. Byrne was prolific, he could draw four books a month, nearly 100 pages of finished pencils, compared to some artists today who can struggle to finish a page in a week! Obviously as time wore on, Byrne slowed down, but he could afford to, he was one of three major stars in comics during the late 1970s. He, George Perez and Frank Miller were quickly making names for themselves as creators who steered falling comics out of the doldrums. Byrne did it with just about everything he touched, Perez did it for The Avengers and The Justice League of America and Miller started with Daredevil and really got into the swing in the 1980s with Batman. There were others, but these three were the Adams, Steranko and Wrightson of their era.
Of the three, none fell from grace quite as fast as Byrne. In fact the other two are still regarded highly in comics, most people remember Byrne as 'The Tinkerman'. Byrne became too big too fast – yet in reality, his rise took many years, but this was the 1970s and rarely did someone come out of nowhere in comics and cause such a reaction. He wrote and drew some of the biggest comics in existence, but because he was so up his own arse at times, he eventually was replaced, because the fans grew tired of his revisionist approach.

You Never Can Tell - Poem by George Sterling
Spindrift and bilge and the world turns over!
What is the dross and what the gold?
The snake and the lark ha' nests in the clover,
And which is best when the tale is told?
Thrice I sinned—oh I the heavens' joyance!
Breasts angelic shook wi' the joke;
Once did good—oh ! earth's annoyance I
Hell to pay and the bank gone broke I
James drank posion at love's derision;
John swigged ale and swank in the sun,
Throve, and came to a dark decision,
And, 'Christ! that I were the other one!'
Seth in the swamp and Dan on the mountain—
Either dreamt that he chose his times:
Dan bent young to a fevered fountain;
Seth grew old by the older slimes.
The stolen dollar in Larry's pocket
Turned a bullet to Harry's side—
It missed by a hair his mother's locket:
The thief lives yet and the good man died.
Justice! Justice! where is thy palace,
Hope o' the planet's dark romance ?
Whose is the blood in thy broken chalice,
Slave o' chance? But there is no chance !

Achilles' heel
The economy is firing on all cylinders.
Car and home sales should be near record highs during the current quarter, as low interest rates and tax cuts have helped stoke consumer spending.
Achilles' heel
The economy is firing on all cylinders.
Car and home sales should be near record highs during the current quarter, as low interest rates and tax cuts have helped stoke consumer spending.
The trade deficit should start to narrow with the plunging value of the dollar.
Add it all up and economists are forecasting that growth may approach 6 percent in the third quarter.
But the Achilles' heel of the economy remains the lack of jobs.
That means all eyes will be on Friday's September employment report, even with a raft of other economic data coming out this week.
"The whole story about the economy today is employment," said Brian Wesbury an economist at Griffin, Kubik, Stephens & Thompson, a Chicago investment firm.
"No matter how strong any other data, if the employment numbers don't turn around, feelings about the economy will remain pessimistic," he said.
Wesbury is among the few economists who predict payrolls will increase in September for the first time since January. His main reason: It's about time.
"The economy is taking off," he said. "The only thing that hasn't reflected that is the job market. That can't last."
He's forecasting a rise of 20,000 jobs. The consensus is a decline of 20,000.
That estimate is still better than August, when payrolls shed 93,000 jobs.
Other analysts add they expect a slight uptick in the jobless rate, to 6.2 percent from 6.1 percent in August.
Coasting along
High incentives and new models likely kept U.S. consumers buying cars and trucks at a healthy pace in September, but expect a sharp pullback from the near-record rate in August.
U.S auto sales, to be released by automakers on Wednesday, are seen hitting a seasonally adjusted rate of about 16.7 million in September, according to Lynn Reaser, an economist at Banc of America Capital Management.
That's well below the sizzling 19 million annual rate hit in August, when automakers cleared inventories to fill dealers' lots with 2004 models.
Momentum builds
Overall, the manufacturing sector appears to be expanding, as suggested by the September index of purchasing managers from the Institute for Supply Management.
Economist Reaser expects the index to show a modest improvement, to about 55 from 54.7 a month earlier.
It would be the third consecutive monthly reading above 50.
"That's a positive sign for the factory sector, which has been the weak link in economy," she said.
"The technology sector seems to be showing improvement, particularly in the semiconductor space."
Earnings jitters
Investors are uneasy ahead of the start of third-quarter earnings season.
The Dow Jones industrial average finished the week down 3.4 percent, its largest weekly loss in six months.
The news was worse for the Nasdaq composite index, which suffered a weekly loss of 6 percent, its biggest one-week decline in more than a year.
But First Call expects earnings to rise 15 percent year-over-year in the third quarter.
That suggests the market is waiting for better job numbers to reinforce the rosy earnings expectations, analysts said.

Zoe may control the weather….
This morning Zoe crept into my bed about 5 am. Not my favorite time but far better than 3am but not as good at 7:25 (we get up at 7:30). At some point she asks if it is a school day and I tell her "no, not for you only for Niamh, today we are going to Shoreview". At that point she starts to whimper that she just wants to stay home, no kidcare, not playground nothing… I tell her that we need to just focus on breakfast (because lack of food is usually what is making her sad) and up we get to start the day. She persists in saying that it is not a good day to go out and we should stay home and do puzzles.
I look out the window…. I see a minor blizzard.
School, ironically, still happening. I think they are just going to power through the snow because they have already missed 10 days in January (2 for teacher in-service day, 5 arctic closures, 3 days around new years) and can't miss much more. Lars brings Niamh to the bus, I contemplate if I should go out.
I swear the snow got stronger as I looked and I decided Zoe is right, this is a good home day. She must have really wanted a home day to conjure up 6 inches of snow. We made the right decision because my facebook is alive with talk of 3 hour commutes, big accidents, and tons of near misses with skidding and poor visibility. This is my exit by the way…
We doodled around and in fact did do puzzles. Zoe is pretty decent if she is not impeded by a Fiona-zilla. Fiona amused herself for a very long time putting caps on travel cups and water bottles. I pulled them out of the step* because they were not fitting right and I had two clean ones to put away but they are still out because she had such a good time.
Not leaving the house gets to me because I feel like the day loses shape, but, not leaving the house does mean we have time to do things without a rush. I'm far more wimpy about driving in snow then arctic so home we are.
The afternoon is looking nice, temps are reasonable that I might bundle up the crew and do the driveway but there also are more puzzles to do. I am very very happy on days like this to be home because I am willing to bet too many people drove this morning because they already missed work due to school closing and felt they had to get in today. School closings are such a loaded topic I'm not touching them with a 50 foot pole.
*yes I said step. Did I ever write up the fact that we did add storage to our stairs? I don't see anything in a quick archive search so here is our 'secret' step
When you have stairs everywhere in your house they really do become furniture. All good furniture should have storage. Our steps open up on a hidden hinge and have room for all the water bottles and travel mugs plus sunblock and a first aid kit. Travel mugs and water-bottles are just so big we had no good place before and now they have the perfect home.

Los Angeles, 1960
It wasn't the sound of the trucks grinding past her apartment window that roused her. Nor the flickering light from the Jewish deli across the street. Her senses were inured to those constants buzzing around her foggy head resting on the pillow. It was the smell of…could it be… was she dreaming? Gingerbread? And what was that voice?
A child's greeting echoed in the hall. Knock, knock, knock. "Mewwy Chwistmas."
Geraldine Blodgett (screen name Anna Stevens) tossed off the covers, swung her feet across the mattress and struggled to sit up. She felt sticky and icky; a bad taste lingered in her mouth. She was thirsty as hell. The silk nightie slithered across her body, then settled in place. An empty whiskey bottle on the small table was at once a source of shame and her best friend. One more empty bottle. If all her empties were piled on top of each other, would they reach to heaven? A lush's Jacob's ladder.
The knocking grew louder, a little girl chimed, "Mewwy Chwistmas."
Geri thought she might be going 'round the bend. Yet, the spicy, sweet scent lingered and footsteps approached. And, sure enough, some shoes appeared behind the threshold, visible through the crack under the door.
Knock, knock, knock. "Mewwy Chwistmas."
Whispers. A card slid under the door.
Geri took halting steps toward the bright red envelope, almost a blinding contrast against the grimy carpet. She pushed her wavy, platinum hair out of her eyes as she bent to pick it up. And, oh the yummy, sugary aroma drew her hand to the knob.
Geri dwelled in the shadows, accustomed to the semi-dark, the colorless walls, a noir existence. She lived in that stark world. She'd long ago given up thinking she could find a Technicolor life. She might have simply thrown the envelope in the trash, but her mouth yearned for the sweet bite promised just outside the door. So, she opened it.
A woman and child had moved on to Auntie Z's apartment a few feet down the hallway.
Knock, knock, knock. "Mewwy Chwistmas."
The woman placed a Christmas bag down as she pushed another red envelope under Auntie Z's door.
The little girl turned and smiled. Geri grabbed the doorjamb to keep from falling at the sight. The child's blond hair fluffed around her small head like a halo. Her pinafore dress reminded Geri of the dolls in toy store windows. Light seemed to shine from the small body, like Barbara Stanwyck's sparkly dress in Ball of Fire.
The girl waved, repeating, "Mewwy Chwistmas!"
The mother stood up, turned around and smiled also. Geri shook her head at the sight of this Lee Remick wannabe, dressed in a full skirt, wearing gloves, toting Christmas bags and towing the angelic daughter beside her. What was she thinking coming to a stink hole like this? What a do-gooding idiot. Geri looked down at the tempting bag at her feet. Well, she wasn't one to turn down free food. She pounced on it.
The woman took a tentative step toward her. "Hello, I'm…"
Geri clutched the bag to her bosom and slammed the door.
She leaned against the dingy wood, reached into the bag, and sank her teeth into the perfect mini loaf of gingerbread. Mmm. Lee sure could bake.
Who were these people? Geri picked up the envelope and opened the holiday card.
Merry Christmas from All Saint's United Brethren Church. Crayon stars and a childishly scribbled name—Patty–embellished the inside.
Her name was Patty.

Who's that knocking? Jehovah's Witnesses flock to the Bay Area
Matthai Chakko Kuruvila, Chronicle Religion Writer
Friday, July 6, 2007
Roughly 70,000 Jehovah's Witnesses are converging at the Cow Palace in Daly City for a series of conventions this summer, and they'll be knocking on tens of thousands of doors along the way.
By the end of the summer, each believer will have attended a three-day convention that consists of intensive Bible study, prayer, song, mass baptisms and a biblical drama. They also will have invited thousands of perfect strangers.
Those gathering at the Cow Palace will have tried to knock on every door from the Oregon border to Reno to the Central Coast. It's a process that will be repeated for 287 conventions in 75 cities around the nation this summer in the largest mobilization of the year for the nation's 1 million Jehovah's Witnesses.
Jehovah's Witnesses are strict biblical literalists who say the Bible does not call for a celebration of Easter, Christmas or individual birthdays. Save for the commemoration of Jesus' Last Supper, the regional conventions are the most important events of the year for the faithful.
It all begins at front doors with people like Sybil Lovelace. She will attend a Cow Palace convention beginning today.
For the past three weeks, Lovelace's 105-member congregation has canvassed 4,400 homes and 2,200 apartment units in West Oakland. They customarily visit those same homes every three months, but the convention is a reason for one more trip. Lovelace has been out knocking for all but three of the past 21 days.
She's heard stories from front doors about a mother addicted to crack, a father returning from prison, and teenage girls suffering from low self-esteem.
It reminded Lovelace of her duty: to tell people about Jesus and his father, Jehovah.
There is urgency to her work. Jehovah's Witnesses believe that we are living in the "end times," the final period before Armageddon, when wickedness and evil will be wiped off the Earth.
"It's like a hurricane warning," Lovelace said. "You want to make sure everyone has an opportunity to understand what's happening."
Those who ignore the warnings, Jehovah's Witnesses believe, will perish.
Jehovah's Witnesses' socializing with nonbelievers is often limited to their door-to-door work. Their theology emphasizes life after Armageddon, often illuminated through paintings of Paradise in their worship halls.
The door-to-door proselytizing is a practice for which Witnesses have become both renowned and ridiculed. Yet, despite the ubiquity of their door-to-door "witnessing," their beliefs are largely unknown to others.
And in spite of their singularly religious mission and relatively separatist ethos, their imprint on constitutional law is pronounced. Legal experts say Jehovah's Witnesses' lawsuits to protect their beliefs have done more over the past century to protect First Amendment freedoms than any other organization.
The right to refuse to say the Pledge of Allegiance, the ability to pamphleteer without government monitoring and the expansion of the Bill of Rights into state law are among the many precedents established or strengthened by litigation by Jehovah's Witnesses, said Professor Jesse Choper, a constitutional law expert at the UC Berkeley School of Law.
But for the average Jehovah's Witness, it's about saving souls.
Lovelace calls it her job. The 53-year-old mother of two daughters knocks on doors more than 70 hours a month, making her a "regular pioneer," one of her church's most active proselytizers.
She notes in a datebook which homes she's visited. She returns to homes where no one answers or where someone expresses interest.
The obstacles are small and large.
There are pit bulls and locked gates. Last year, Lovelace walked onto a front porch just as a car drove up and a passenger began shooting at people standing on a nearby sidewalk. She fled, but it only strengthened her resolve.
"That's why we're out with God's word," Lovelace said. "If people come to know what Jehovah's standards are and apply them and use them, they wouldn't have these shootings."
Unlike many other faiths, Jehovah's Witnesses don't operate soup kitchens, social service organizations or hospitals.
Those institutions do good works, said Ray Vaden Jr., 56, the convention overseer for the events at the Cow Palace. But that's not the point.
"The best thing we can do is to share what we think is the best way of life," said Vaden, a manager at a Silicon Valley computer hardware company.
Others, Vaden noted, believe social service work can temper society's inequalities, but those efforts have not ended the need.
"Man has never been able to eradicate those injustices," Vaden said.
Edith McDonald volunteers in a food pantry three days a week but said she does so primarily to get another venue to talk about the Bible. She sees many social services as enablers of vice.
"The majority of them take the money and buy alcohol and drugs," said McDonald, a West Oakland resident who also belongs to Lovelace's congregation.
McDonald, 62, said true salvation will come after Armageddon, when 144,000 people will be raised into heaven and others who are saved will live in an eternal paradise on Earth.
"In the long term, Jehovah is going to make sure there's plenty of food," she said.
On a recent morning, Lovelace rang the doorbell at the home of Leslie Bowling-Dyer, 38. They had a polite exchange.
Bowling-Dyer later told a reporter that she objects to how Jehovah's Witnesses imply that "they alone have come upon some true revelation."
"I find that kind of exclusivity kind of suspect," said Bowling-Dyer, who has spent the last 13 years doing campus ministry around the Bay Area and is getting her master's in divinity at the American Baptist Seminary of the West in Berkeley.
Bowling-Dyer said Christian social obligation was dictated by Jesus, who said followers would be judged based on how they treated prisoners, the hungry and the sick.
Jehovah's Witnesses, she said, focus too much on the individual and the afterlife, forgetting that real needs exist around them that they may be able to alleviate.
"It's our responsibility as Christians to try and be involved in addressing those things and to take them into consideration," she said.
Lovelace sees it differently.
"Jesus healed the sick and fed the hungry, but the main thrust of his teaching was God's kingdom and what God's kingdom will do on a permanent basis," she said.
She measures success carefully. If she can share one Bible verse with one person, Lovelace believes she's been successful.
After 33 years of door-to-door proselytizing, Lovelace can count five people she's led to Bible study, which led to baptism. She said biblical knowledge helped one person stop having sex outside of marriage, become a more responsible parent, and put down the bottle.
"You can't put a price tag on a life," she said.

This thesis comprises two parts. The first part is the translation of a selection of the contemporary Brazilian poet Antonio Moura's poems into English. The translational work is threefold: to create literary translations of the poems on the page, to create the materials and concept to allow readers without Portuguese to read and translate Moura's poems themselves, and to create a concept for the presentation of Moura's poems beyond the standard typographical page, this visual presentation is primarily in the form of an exhibition, but also considers the graphic and typographic presentation of translated poetry in book form. Accompanying the translational work, the critical chapters of the PhD examine various areas that bear on this translation project. These include contemporary poetry in Brazil, Britain and elsewhere and literary influences on Moura, leading into a detailed study of his poetry; questions oftextuality and how a text becomes a number of variants; wider perspectives on contemporary arts and literature, particularly in regard to multi-media (or: intermedia) arts, as well as the related stimulus of non-categorizing thinking that can be seen clearly in pre-literate societies; and an examination and commentary on my translational practice in the first part of this thesis.

The war between the U.S. and Mexico represents one of the most painful episodes in Mexico's history, and it has also posed a vexing question for Mexican historians who have struggled to explain the loss of half the national territory, the subjugation and occupation of the capital and the sources of Mexico's vulnerability to U.S. expansionism. The talk will delve into the differing views among Mexican historians on how to represent the war.
Alex Saragoza, Associate Professor of History, Department of Ethnic Studies, UC Berkeley
Professor Loomis will examine the war against Mexico in the context of American political developments, particularly the growing opposition to slavery's expansion which began to emerge among a number of groups in the North.
Barbara Loomis, Professor of History, San Francisco State University
Indians and the U.S.–Mexico War
For more than 150 years, historians have crafted narratives of the U.S.–Mexican War with virtually no conceptual space for the stateless peoples who actually controlled the territory that the two countries came to blows over. This talk will explore the manifold ways in which Indian peoples and their politics shaped the coming, course and outcome of 19th-century North America's defining international conflict.
Brian DeLay, Associate Professor of History, UC Berkeley
Primary Resources Documenting the Mexican–American War
This site visit to the Bancroft Library will include a look at a selection of primary resources related to the Mexican–American War, all of which have rich documentary potential. The session will include materials produced by both Americans and Mexicans who participated in the war. The visit will also include a brief discussion of how to use The Bancroft Library as well as a quick introduction to the Mexican and Western Americana collections, which date from the Spanish colonial period to the present

Depression is a real and debilitating condition that is often misunderstood by family and friends. Its meaning can range from a prolonged period of sadness to an actual mental illness with specific symptoms. Find and share experiences with others who are going through the same struggles.

Grumpy Butt
That's how I feel right now. Not really depressed, but just down and frustrated. I can't get a hold of my therapist, can't keep my doctor's appt. next week, can't get off of work to see the doctor, can't get a hold of my mother to get other doctor info to check out my "abnormal CT" scan, I have a stinkin' cold, I woke up late, have to work late tonight, can't take care of my friend's cat because my bf has the keys to the house, I'm just grumpy and wanna vent. Poop! POOP I say!

Can't get in to see the doctors/therapists, family is not calling me back, bf is NO help whatsoever (we're working on that), friends are away for holiday ...

At camp this week we will be making salt dough impressions using the variety of seed pods and flowers growing at our neighbourhood pond. The beauty of the diversity in nature inspires creativity and generates a feeling of true freedom. The more diverse samples we collect the more beautiful our creations will become.
1 cup salt
2 cups all purpose flour
1 cup luke warm water
1. In a large bowl mix salt and flour.
2. Gradually stir in water. Mix well until it forms a doughy consistency.
3. With your hands form a ball with your dough and kneed it for at least 5 minutes. The longer you kneed your dough the smoother it will be.
Store your salt dough in a air tight container and you will be able to use it for days.
You can paint your creations with acrylic paints and seal with varnish or polyurethane spray.
You can let your salt dough creations air dry, however salt dough can also be dried in the oven. Bake at 200 F until your creation is dry. The amount of time needed to bake your creations depends on size and thickness; thin flat ornaments may only take 45-60 minutes, thicker creations can take 2-3 hours or more. You can increase your oven temperature to 350 F, your dough will dry faster but it may also brown, which won't matter if you are painting your entire creation (you can also cover your dough in the oven before it turns brown).
There are a few options to color your salt dough: 1. Add powdered tempera paint to your flour, 2. add food coloring or paint to the water before you mix it with the salt/flour, or 3. add natural coloring like instant coffee, cocoa, or curry powder.

Well at this point I'm just procrastinating. I'm sitting in Turtle Green, a very trendy little cafe on Rainbow Street, sipping my mocaccino and listening to strange mod music. At least they break change here. For those of you who don't know, breaking change in Jordan is a big deal. It literally makes my day when I find someone to break a twenty for me, let alone a fifty. It's damn difficult. And it's not like people don't have change - I've been denied change for a 10 dinar bill at a grocery store while the register drawer was open and I could see stacks of ones and fives inside. People just don't like letting go of their small bills.
Hmm, other things I could rant about...my host brother has taken to calling me "Biss" which to him means Beth, but to the rest of Jordan means cat. It's also a common word used to (quite literally) cat-call girls. So now everytime some random shab leans out of the window of his car and goes "biss biss" I turn around. Thanks fufu.
I am schway sick, yay sinus infections, and my host family knows it, so yesterday when I came home and ate my lunch (green bean stew and rice) and then went to sleep at 6, they didn't wake me up. I eventually woke up at 9, then went out and was offered more green bean stew and rice, which I ate. And then my host mom said, "I know you are full, but here, take this apple and you can eat in your room." I was still a bit hungry, and I rarely get fresh fruit, so I ate the apple right there. I also got two cups of tea with dinner, which is another rarity since tea is usually reserved for tea time (which falls anytime between 8:30 and 11:30 p.m.) Brooke came home, ate, and an hour later it was tea time. So we went out for tea, had our tea and snacks (usually pita and cream for me) and then went back to our rooms. Then our host mom brought us Easter treats - habibeh's, which means they were awesome - consisting of one chocolate egg, one pastry/cookie thing with a fig in it, and one pastry/cookie thing filled with pistachios. Not as good as the fresh stuff, but still tasty. And then 15 minutes after that my host aunt came in with two plates of honeydew, which means brooke and I were each responsible for eating half of one. I didn't finish. I wanted to, and I couldn't. This is how feeding goes for me, quite often here.
What else, what else...it's going to be really nice to take a shower longer that 5 minutes. I've gotten REALLY good at economical water usage, which is a plus, but also means that I just want a chance to bathe in peace. Also, no more dry skin. I hate having winter skin in summer heat. It's just awful.
Basically the past couple of weeks have been my friends and me yearning for American comforts and other things, and while I love Amman, and want to come back here over and over, I miss home right now. I want Graeter's and the chance to wear shorts in public. Is that so much to ask for?
When I feel reflective I'll post a more substantial blog, but this is just to appease my father and to put my rantings in writing. I'm home in 20 days! Even though I'll be leaving a week later...for my internship in Connecticut! Which is really exciting! And I have a place to live! But I still just want to go home first. I can't wait, and yet I can. Ahhh.

But there is nothing new under the sun. What we are experiencing now from the dogmatic bigots is nothing compared to earlier forms. What is different is that most normal people are cowed from responding. We need to reawaken the dextrous dismissal as illustrated by J.R.R. Tolkien. In 1937, after the publication of The Hobbit, Tolkien's British publishers were approached by a German publisher seeking to publish a German edition. The German publisher, in compliance with the bigoted laws of their country, sought to validate the Aryan purity of Tolkien's lineage. Such is the world of the SJW dogmatic bigots.
Tolkien would have none of that. His polite and pointed response:
25 July 1938Oh so British - "I trust you will find this reply satisfactory".
20 Northmoor Road, Oxford
Dear Sirs,
Thank you for your letter. I regret that I am not clear as to what you intend by arisch. I am not of Aryan extraction: that is Indo-Iranian; as far as I am aware none of my ancestors spoke Hindustani, Persian, Gypsy, or any related dialects. But if I am to understand that you are enquiring whether I am of Jewish origin, I can only reply that I regret that I appear to have no ancestors of that gifted people. My great-great-grandfather came to England in the eighteenth century from Germany: the main part of my descent is therefore purely English, and I am an English subject — which should be sufficient. I have been accustomed, nonetheless, to regard my German name with pride, and continued to do so throughout the period of the late regrettable war, in which I served in the English army. I cannot, however, forbear to comment that if impertinent and irrelevant inquiries of this sort are to become the rule in matters of literature, then the time is not far distant when a German name will no longer be a source of pride.
Your enquiry is doubtless made in order to comply with the laws of your own country, but that this should be held to apply to the subjects of another state would be improper, even if it had (as it has not) any bearing whatsoever on the merits of my work or its sustainability for publication, of which you appear to have satisfied yourselves without reference to my Abstammung.
I trust you will find this reply satisfactory, and
remain yours faithfully,
J. R. R. Tolkien
Gamergate, Hugo Awards in Science Fiction, PC Movies, Book Publishing based on identity, Safe spaces, Disinvitation of speakers, abandonment of due process, and speech suppression at universities: all infected by the dogmatic and totalitarian bigotry of the Social Justice Warriors and other philosophies deriving from Reform Marxism. It is outrageous that people do not reject the cult of hatred and ironic that they accept it as a simulacrum of tolerance when it is the reverse.

In business, of course, we've grown used to them. But in our private lives there are so many things these days that computers and mobiles can do for us. I blame all that software.
They can keep in touch with our friends, write our letters, pay our bills, find us a date, shop for our groceries, diagnose our illnesses, stimulate our sexual appetites, choose a holiday, find long-lost acquaintances, give vent to our ravings – the list is endless.
Soon they'll be able to drive our cars, too. But will they always take us to where we want to go? Perhaps they'll be able to ride our bikes for us too – we just key in some commands, sit on the saddle and start pedalling to who knows where.
Where will it all end, one wonders? I'm confident there's one thing they'll never say 'I've got an app for that' though …

Miss-Beckie-Louise's Choice: Picture 2
The music sounded, and the piece of chocolate was handed to me. The Camera zoomed in on me and I lifted the chocolate to my mouth and took what I hoped was a very sensual bite of the chocolate.
The New Flake advert. Why my manager had demanded I take this job, I don't know. I mean seriously, it's a chocolate bar!
She said that doing the advert will boost my chances of getting 'famous'. Honestly, I'll believe it when it happens.
So, because of my manager, here I am, sitting in a field, with a straw hat on, and bright ruby lips, about to sensually take a bite of a flake. I love the things but honestly the things that the director wants me to do, is barbaric. I'm not even going to mention the things he wants me to do.
The director came over, "okay, so basically, all I want you to do, is look into the camera a bit more, and take a slow bite. Make it as sensual as you possibly can. Thanks."
He walked back over the camera and shouted, "Quiet please... and rolling... and...action!"
The shoot took three hours in total, and at the end, I ate enough chocolate to keep me going for a while. Once the shoot finished, I was on the phone to my manager.
"Seriously? The Flake Advert?!" I shouted.
"Darling, please, it's the biggest move of your career, just enjoy it." She hung up.
Three weeks later, I was sitting at home with my family and the flake advert came on. I watched it, and honestly, it was my best work yet.

Peel, Elizabeth (2014) Discourse, Diversity and Discrimination: Understanding and Challenging Heterosexism. In: UNSPECIFIED.View this record at http://eprints.worc.ac.uk/3458/
In this talk, I offer an argument for interrogating manifestations of heterosexism in lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans and queer (LGBTQ) people's lives. I discuss the concept of 'mundane heterosexism' and accounts of others' reactions to a happy event and to a sad experience in two contrasting data corpora –people planning or in a civil partnership and women who have experienced pregnancy loss. I explore the ways that the issues of muted reactions and displays of heteronormativity are manifest. In considering these issues with respect to accounts of these two very different forms of experience (civil partnership and pregnancy loss) I demonstrate how a sense of being treated differently is produced as problematic. But also, in the case of pregnancy loss, being treated the same (as the implied heterosexual norm) is similarly produced as troublesome. I argue that it is in the nuances of the presentation of o/Other's reactions that we can see the continued operation of heteronormativity. In conclusion, I suggest that, despite significant legal and structural gains for LGBTQ communities in a number of Western countries in recent years, critical examination of manifestations of heterosexism continue to be important for clinical psychology training and practice.

Good morning all, hope you are well and having a good week.
Today's card is a very simple birthday card, that could easily be adapted to a male card, or anniversary or gift card etc.
The idea came from Pinterest again, and I just adapted it to what I had in the craft stash. I used a 6 x 6 card blank and embossed half of a piece of white card with a daisy embossing folder. Then I used a piece of scrap glitter card to make the present.
The stamp is from the latest Studio Calico set and I heat embossed it with Ranger Liquid Platinum embossing powder.
Then I used a piece of wide silver ribbon for the middle of the card, and a thinner piece of coordinating ribbon for around the present.
Then I added a little silver bow and a couple of crystal gems to finish it off.
Hope you like it, take care and I'll see you soon.

I READ the My Word column ''Blatant exceptions give home-schoolers a black eye.'' Blatant exceptions give our entire country a black eye, and they aren't limited to home-schoolers. They are found in private schools, public schools, government, private businesses, churches, non-profit organizations . . . the list goes on. Even more distressing is that many times, the exceptions to the rules seem to outnumber those who function legitimately within the guidelines of the organization.
The issue is not the need for excessive regulation, as this cannot solve the problems in any group. There must be fair regulation which, in turn, must be enforced.

Based on the song "Ol' Red" by Blake Shelton.
Red was diggin' at the fence when I walked up to the pen.
He growled when he saw me. More of a whimper really, but I knew he was anxious to get out. The ol' Georgia sun beatin' down on the place didn't cool much of anything, let alone an old dog's itchin' to get out an' run.
I took the leather strap leash from its place on the chain-link fence for the last time. Red stood up and pushed his big ol' paws against the gate, tryin' to get it open before me, but I had a hand ready to catch his collar and leash him before he could get away.
Everyone else on the farm was used to my privilege of takin' care of Warden's old bloodhound for my sentence. I still got looks, especially from the new-comers, but it would be over soon. This was my last visit with Red.
I paraded him through the building, past the mess hall and down a long line of cells. The inmates still in their cells for whatever reason glared as we passed, but not so much at me as at the dog trailin' my heels. No one liked Red. He wasn't aggressive or ill-behaved by no means, but he was the best tracker in the state. Warden would tell a tale that there had been a gator that up and ate his favorite King James Bible that had been sittin' on the porch next to a plate of ribs. He said he seen the gator climb up his lawn from the swamp and ran to get his gun, but when he came back all that was left was the plate. "Gator musta thunk the leather was still on the cow," Warden would laugh, before braggin' about how he and Red had spent a week in the swamps trackin' that very gator just to shoot it dead and stuff it. "Never got my Bible back, but that gator sure gave me enough skin to work with." He never admitted it, but I knew that his favorite belt came right off that gator's back. I could only think that's also what he did to the men who tried to run away.
I turned the corner into my cell and dropped Red's leash. He strode over to my mate Randy's bed and nuzzled his sleepin' hand, wakin' the poor guy up in a fit of cursin'.
"The shit do you think you're doin', bringin' that damn dog in here? Tryin' to get him used to my scent, are ya?"
"I need some time alone, Randy."
"With the god damned dog?" He swung his legs over the edge of his bunk, rubbin' his eyes, his denim work pants undone around his waist. "What're ya gonna do, screw him?"
"You'd like to see that, wouldn' ya?"
Randy glared at me and shuffled out of the cell. I saw him glance at the sliding door, tempted to shut it and lock me in, but I guess he thought better of it. I did have control of the best huntin' dog in the state.
I laid down on my bunk, and Red jumped up with me, restin' his droopy head on my chest and lookin' at me, beggin' with his big and brown and sad, love-sick eyes. I scratched him between his ears just how he liked and ran my hand down the short fur on his back. He huffed and closed his eyes.
"I'm not gonna be able to see ya anymore, Red."
The old dog didn't move, just laid there gettin' pet.
"If you think about it, it's all Betty's fault that I'm in this mess. I'll see her soon, though, and that rotten new man of hers. You remember me tellin' you about them?"
I wanted to imagine that Red was listenin' instead of fallin' asleep, but I saw clear as day the first time I took him out to run him when he was still a pup. I'd go south, because it was easier to walk next to the trees while the sun was settin' instead of havin' to shade my eyes goin' out the west gate. He was just a li'l guy then, 'bout as high as my knee. He'd be runnin' everywhere and trippin' over his own ears. His big black spot was still tryin' to come in through the red and his howl was nothin' more than a whine. I took him to the field down the way about a mile and just let 'im run to his little heart's content. He found his way back to me sittin' against a big willow and I told him how I found Betty in bed with by best man Jed, an' how I beat the shit out of him 'til he didn't move no more before turnin' around to start on Betty an' there were cops behind me. The damn pup looked like he was gonna fall asleep by the end of it so I picked 'im up and carried him back to the farm. I had to carry him for the first few weeks.
He learned how to run right soon enough, but that came with the height. Warden would take him huntin' on the weekends, an' bring 'im back to me to take care of durin' the week. Poor dog saw me more than his owner, but neither of us cared all that much. With Ol' Red pinned up in a fence all day and me pinned up in a metal cell, we both liked gettin' out a bit every night.
The other guys were always buggin' me that I should just run one of these nights, take the dog with me and Warden'll never find us. But I knew Red was trained to come at a whistle and that nothin' was gonna keep him from comin' to that whistle. And if Red didn't come at a whistle, then Warden would jus' find a buddy's huntin' dog an' use him to track the both of us down. I ain't dumb.
Soon enough I had an idea though. I 'member that my ol' cousin Reid was getting' a litter of blue tick puppies and him sayin' that one of the ladies was a real beauty. I managed to get a guard a pack of hand-rolled cigs, rolled 'em myself, and he sent a letter out for me without it bein' searched. That night, I went an' marked a tree with a big ol' X around where I would let Red run every night. I'd let the boy go and one night I finally heard two pups barkin' in the woods, an' Red would start comin' back all tired more than usual. He'd start tuggin' on the leash after a couple weeks, and that's when I knew it was done right. He was a handsome boy that fin'lly found a pretty little lady to have.
But now ol' Red was laying his head on my chest, making it a li'l hard to breathe but I loved that damn dog so I didn't care.
"You 'member that first time I took ya ta see Blue down in the swamp after cousin Reid tied her up for ya?" I ran one of Red's smooth floppy ears between my fingers. "You were just crazy 'bout her. Guess it's a good thing too that you pups hit it off the way ya did." I stopped pettin' him and let my arm rest on his shoulder. I felt him breathin' real slow, surely dreamin' 'bout chasin' gators in the swamp or makin' his way back to Blue the next time he's let out to run. "You'd always come runnin' back to me when you was done with 'er though. An' we'd sit under that big ol' willow tree in the field and watch the sun go down and the stars come out."
I knew talkin' to the dog was useless, he couldn't hope to understand a word I was sayin' to him, but it helped me a little I think. "I hope the next guy takes ya to see yer lady like I did. I don' wan' her forgotten about. I'd tell Warden to get Randy to do it, he's seen enough of ya, but then he'd know I was up ta somethin'."
Red stirred in his sleep, shakin' his leg to make himself more comfortable.
"Just make sure you get to see your lady again." I could feel my voice crackin', and I knew Randy would be punchin' me right about now if he was still there. "Lord knows I'm not gonna see mine."
I laid there with Red for a good while, jus' lettin' him sleep on my arm before I shook him gently to get his collar back on the leash. He looked at me all annoyed, but followed me back to his cage. I unhooked the clasp and hung the leash back up on the fence before crouchin' down to pet the old dog one more time. Ol' Red kept pawin' at the fence. He knew somethin' was up. The sun was gettin' ready to set, and it was time to go for a run, but I wasn't gonna be lettin' him out of his cage anymore.
"Bye Red." I stuck my hand between the chain links and roughed up his jowls a bit, sendin' slobber drippin' to the ground. "I'll miss ya, old boy."
I knew they'd be callin' dinner soon, so I snuck along the barbed wire fence that ran the perimeter of the farm, waitin' until the guards switched shifts. One was goin' down from post and the other was waitin' to head up, so I ducked behind a stack of old tires and pulled myself through a just-too-small hole in the north fence I'd made a few days ago when no one was watchin'. The sun dipped below the tree-line to the west. It'd be a while before anyone knew I was gone. I usually was out with Red now, so no one would be lookin' for me jus' yet, so I had some time.
I just hoped Ol' Red would run south to see his lady so I could run north and hop in cousin Reid's truck back to Tennessee.

Spandas Lui of PCW writes: "In the course of reviewing Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood, the third instalment in the popular franchise, I took some time to reflect on what makes this particular series so popular.
Sure you can extol the game for many things. Great gameplay, awesome voice acting and the occasional steamy sex scenes are just a few of them. But what gives the games that X factor?
I think I know what it is. Ninjas."
Nice review! I agree: the Assassin's Creed franchise are the best ninja games ever made, despite featuring no ninjas.

I once thought that it simply because man and woman is different. We came from different planet, we have different points of view. We just simply different until the last thing we could do to work things out is to understand each other.
Well, i dont think it that way anymore. I think, for some occasions, man's just stupid. Lets bring out examples!
1. When their girlfriends cheated on them, most men will get a fight and grown so much hates to their girlfriends' lovers. Why? Do their girlfriends not want that relationship too? Oh please, of course they do!
2. Second example. I just found out that sometimes when man says "boys will always be boys", they do not say it with the right meaning. They say it because they're selfish. It began when my boyfriend told me a story about his close friend named Denny. At one working moment, this Denny was very busy, even he had to work on Saturday and Sunday. Then he said to my boyfriend, "if only i could have two hours break, i'll go play football with you", he continued "eventhough my girlfriend will be so sad if she's hearing me now".
Well, it caused a long and heavy discussion to my boyfriend and i.
You, man, i'm telling you, you always say that women are never understand. We're not understand your hobby, your brotherhood bla bla bla. You say that women are always push man to choose, to choose between us and ball, us between your friends, us between online games and so on. But you know what, you guys force us to do that. You make us really cant to understand. I'm trying to tell all of you here, that women have a limit, even a limit to understand. What men dont have is a limit to be boys. You need to be a man sometimes, dont you think guys? A man who has to choose, a man who has to make a choice that sometimes not always about his own happiness. We are talking about a grown ups relationship here, and we are talking about two hours -two hours meeting you might make to happen; we are dealing with feelings, so please have a respect.
And for all of woman in anywhere you might be, dont stop asking why, do not understand if you do not need to. We all deserves for a man and we will find one.
p.s: maybe some of you (man) reading will disagree and just ignore it. that's why i always feel lucky to be with such a man like you, you. at the end of the discussion you said that i could be a women's rights campaigner, well ya maybe i can..
